How's the stream stream commencing broadcasting on a M five
to seventy LA Sports and streaming on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
While it's the longest running afternoon sports show in the city.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
No congratulations necessary. All traces of Fred Rogan have been removed.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
This is Petros In Money, Thank You, Thank You, hosted
by Petros Papadae.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Gus terrible person, he's the worst.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
And Matt money Smith the pipes, the pipes, the pie.
Don't miss an episode. We're with you. Yeah, follow the
Petros In Money Show.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Wherever you get your podcasts now Here's Patrose, Papadacus and
Matt money Smith.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
That's right, Glora, you go back up on the hill.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Jesus dude, jag bag jag bab jag bag.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
It's so hot.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I'm going to go for that though.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Hi, this is Jennifer lof Hewitt. I'm smart. He's a
good kicker, but he's radio.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
He's a well respected man about town doing the best things.
So conservatively, Gong n Day or Gong me Yukes, I
should say. It is the Petros and Money Show. Final
hour of Today's Friday program with the Great Dave damashek
two hours in the books. Anything you miss you can
always relive through PMS on demand the Petros and Money
(01:26):
Show podcast. You can procure that wherever you prefer, but
we prefer the iHeartRadio app because you can stream the
show live in the moment. As a matter of fact,
so stream it anywhere in the world. All you need
is the app, the AM five seventy LA Sports tile
and a signal and it is available to you live
in the moment if you're in the Greater LA area
and perhaps stuck and not able to go where you
(01:47):
want because it is Friday of Labor Day weekend and
you can't get near a TV, you can't get near
a radio. Remember you can listen to Dodger games on
the iHeartRadio app as well. And at seven ten pm
we got first pitch, Blake Snell on the mound for
the Dodgers. Galpin Motors broadcast Booth Dodgers against the Diamondbacks
for a three game series before making their way out
to Pittsburgh for a Tuesday Wednesday Thursday early early start series.
(02:11):
Tomorrow we got that great game Texas v Ohio State
at nine am, Big One.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
We made it the football season and maybe the greatest
first weekend again Dublin, Ireland happened, but first proper.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Right, Wow, we got LSU Clemson, We've got Texas Ohio State.
We've got USC Missouri State out here that you can
go to in person, as we discussed earlier in ninety
eight degrees in the shade, Like, that's what we have
on the college football slay. As you would like to say,
Dave in your football baby bit, if you got a
(02:51):
shot to go to the Rose Bowl for a forty
five percent capacity showdown between UCLA and Utah and the
day view of nico Ia Malayava in ninety eight degrees
in the shade, or USC versus Missouri State a thirty
(03:12):
five point favorite at the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Where you're going, Well, USC at least did it right.
As I always say, the NFL, the ongoing you know,
grift of preseason football games. If you actually needed preseason
football games for your players to get ready, then college
would play them. USC is basically playing a preseason game.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Man, these teams you should point out real quick before
you make your decision. Go ahead, UCLA a night game.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Well I am, I am excited for the Sportstown. That
is Los Angeles for Nico Eye's arrival. I think that
means good things. Obviously, as we've seen in the transfer
portal age, a single guy, if he plays the right position,
can swing the four of a program. I think nego
I has a chance to do that for the Bruins
(04:06):
this year. I'm trying to figure out easy to pick
the game you most want to see going into the weekend,
which one when it's all said and done, Which is
the highest quality of game? Ohio State Texas has a
chance to be kind of low scoring. I think maybe
the most satisfying game is LSU Clemson, just in terms
of the watch, not import to the rest of the season.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Well, LSU, I think LSU Clemson has the opportunity to
be the most enjoyable if Brian Kelly gets his teeth
kicked in Oh yeah, you know, just from a Shoden
Freud a sort of standpoint, it's like, what negative element
would you like to see most And I do think
that's probably number one. Mister Kelly, mister coach Kelly now
(04:52):
will make his way out to Clemson. They call it
death Valley out there, missus Kelly. But we all know
the death vallet is right here in our backyard.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Now, what about Notre Dame Miami? Carson Beck makes his
debut with the Canes after taking four million dollars eight
to leave Georgia.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Did you hear people call that one Catholics versus Convicts
sometimes and it should be a good game. But I
think it has the most meaning for the rest of
the season out of all the games we're talking about,
because if Notre Dame loses that one, I know, it's
easy to get into the playoffs now, but really, what's
the plausible path the Irish? You know, they would have
(05:26):
to obliterate everybody they faced the rest of the way, right.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But the committee loves Notre Dame. You know if you
get all the measurable or the all the metrics, where oh,
number one defense and they're transfer quarterbacks playing great, you
know what I mean? Like Notre Dame always gets the.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
They lost to Northern Illinois last year and still got
still playoffs.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Yeah, but they right, but that was the one that
they had to overcome. I think there will be no
such great for them on the rest of the schedule.
They wouldn't be able to stumble one more time. The
rest of the way if they drop this one to
the U.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I don't know if Bill Bellichick losing to TCU and
the opener is as satisfying. And I don't even know
if I want to see that. I don't know, Like
I'm not sure, Like do I want Belichick to go
down to the ACC and just, you know, whip up
on some college coaches and be like, this is how
it isn't the NFL, you idiots? You're on your other losers.
You don't know the art of war. I do you
know what I mean? Like that'd be kind of funny.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I don't well, I mean, you're not as you're not
a die hard fan of a team that got beaten
up by the Patriots over the first twenty years of
this millennium.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Fair.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
I definitely would.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You want to see him be miserable.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
I wouldn't mind a little shot in foot.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
All the cheating, all the cheating he was doing up
there at the NFL level.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Listen, what what what's the upside for the objective football
fan for Bill Belichick to succeed here.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
That he gets a job in the NFL next year.
I assume that's what he wants. He wants to have
a ten win season at North Carolina, make a run
at the ACC championship, maybe keep it tight with Dabo
there and Clemson and beat Florida State, and I'm back
in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
I'm not jealous of his situation with his young girlfriend,
but in broad strokes, is that is that what's coming
out to me here is resentment of the old man.
But I wouldn't want to be in his situation. I mean,
I think we've heard more than enough now about about
who she is.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Just add twenty years. I mean, you know, you're seventy,
you're in your seventies. Just get a hot little you know,
forty five year old and man, you're you're You're scoring
a big win there.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
But then that makes me small to if I'm rooting
against him because of that, If that's if that's what
the man in the mirror deep down.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
We'll have that game, by the way, on Monday TCU
in North Carolina right here on Anti seventy.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Hill, exactly right. Let's get to this real.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Quick in effect, Yeah, we're three not.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
About that fun fact, and we get to the fun
fact because the final our fun fun factor is brought
you back in Cordia University of Your Vines Masters in
Coaching and Athletics Administration Program. It is a fact that
a coach has more influence speaking of Bill Belichick on
others in one year than the average person does in
a lifetime. Make the most of that opportunity to impact
others by finding out more at CUI dot edu slash
(08:07):
coaching your final hour fun fact check courtesy of Labor
Day being on Monday? Did you know? Congress made Labor
Day a federal holiday in eighteen ninety four in response
to the Pullman strike. There were already days known as
Labor Day being celebrated in twenty three states. It was
not a federal holiday, and most countries had been celebrating
(08:31):
outside of the States, International Workers Day on May first,
where people, you know, the working class would get a
day off. The US said, let's not do that. Let's
go September, so we're not associated with the Haymarket riot
from May fourth in eighteen eighty six there in Chicago,
and we're going to go first Monday in September.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
I'm not one of my some sort of a dude.
You don't think I know what the man's up to
here throwing the proletariat a day off. This is this
is the man trying to celebrate himself. This is what
he does, and he does it on the eve of school,
or at least when school was supposed to start, when
things were better in our world. Now the man has
(09:13):
we're lawless now, and he just starts school up whenever
he decides. At some point in August. I don't know.
Did I see people go back to school in late July? Maybe?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I don't know why, God help us, If they went
back in late July.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
We've already crossed.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
We are seeing Christmas decorations in October, Halloween decorations in August.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
That you're not gonna hear me can play. That's joy.
I'm not gonna belly ache about that. School is the
opposite of joy.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
It sucks.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You know who doesn't think it's joy?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Thanksgiving? That's who? Okay, that's who doesn't think it's joy
When Christmas is already taken a bite out of the
Thanksgiving turkey. That is not joy.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
I tell you, though, What does that tell you? You
know what it's like?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
You know?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
The pro football team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, They've achieved a
lot and are admired by a lot of other pro
football franchises. They don't feel the need to celebrate themselves
with cheerleaders. They don't need that the other people need
to lure your eye with foolishness to all the cheerleaders.
Maybe that'll distract you from the mediocrity on the field.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You see, you're saying Thanksgiving doesn't need to pat itself.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
On the back Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is the best holiday, and
we all understand that else needs to let you know, like, oh,
but don't forget about us. You can wear costumes on
our day.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I do feel like for the folks out there that
celebrated for the birth of Jesus reason they feel like,
you know, I'm gonna put this manger, this live manger.
I've hired four little people and a and a family
of four to be the live manger on Christmas Eve
on my front lawn.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Well, I know how you are about that. The whole
month of December is a prayer.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Full Yes, now that I've discovered my Jewish heritage, I'm
really conflicted. I don't know what to do in the
month of December.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
I mean, listen, Honikhah, that's a tough one because it's
one a day, but for eight days versus the bounty
of one day. But yes, one thing we can agree
on is that Labor Day sucks. It is an attempt
to to dangle little care in front of you. See
that you don't notice that summer is over and it's
time to get back to full time work and worse yet.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
To school.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
And you know what offsets it. It is the greatest
gift of football. It's football season. If it weren't for
football season, what now would you do? After Labor Day?
You'd fall into a deep dark depression that would last
all the way through Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year's
and you wouldn't feel happy until March madness kicked up.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Maybe Valentine's Day you get a nice, sweet little girl
to hold your hand, you know, you share some of
those hearts with the messages, and maybe some red vine.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
That's another one.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I think you got a little sweetye on your arm.
Huh yeah, sweet things are looking up.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
You just said it's sweety as exactly right? When whoever
decided Valentine's Day should be a thing? Okay, right, that's
exactly right. Yes, it's a manufactured high holiday that requires
you to get gifts, but only you, because you are
the masculine member in the relationship. Where's my gift?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
You never got a Valentine's taking?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I mean I get here at Cologne or something there,
Dave da machete friend. But I mean, for the most part,
it's not mandatory. No, it's only it's only from from
if you're lucky enough to have a woman who understands
the inequity and makes it right. Woman, does you gotta go?
I gotta get you flowers, and I'm supposed to get
you sweets, and I'm supposed to take you out the
(12:32):
dinner and all the rest of it. Win's in my turn?
When do I get a nice one?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
What comes at the end of the night after that,
you know, a nice romantic evening, A nice box of chocolates,
maybe dark chocolate, which they say is a little bit
of an afrodisiac. There, you know, you get the cocoa
running through your veins.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Very similar to how the other holidays need to ask
for things in order to get something back, Thanksgiving doesn't,
Dave damashef need to throw out gifts to.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Woo a lady.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Thanksgiving, he just put He just puts putting.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
They watch you consume the three plates of food resting
on your stomach as you sit on the couch and
watch football, and just shovel mashed potatoes, no well on
a turkey and gravy into your mouth.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
On a date, I was being a gentleman, I would
eat the eat, the eat my soon to be lover's meal,
most of it for her, because you know she doesn't
want to eat that. It would be it would be
untoward for her to sit there and house an entire
plate of food. So I take that off her figure
intim and literal plate and eat it and then and
thereby because myself into a gentleman.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
If there is one thing that we have noticed about
Thanksgiving is there is almost never enough food.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
If there is one holiday where we run out of food.
I've never been on a Thanksgiving date, and I've never
heard of anybody else going on a date on Thanksgiving.
So you wait, why you can't you order?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
For what you're saying is, when you go on a date,
you order for the lady, but you order a second
plate of what you would like to consume. I'll be
ordering for the lady. She will have the smash burger
with a side of front.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
I wish you know what I will Obviously I'm not
a coxsman. I wish I were, so that I had
had enough opportunity to know.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
How many little Damascheks are running around out there right now.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
A lot, yeah, a lot. They're like four to seven. Yes,
I can't keep.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
So you can say you're not a coxsman, yet there's
a lot of little ones out there.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
I wish your seat has been spread. I felt like
I could. I've never been in a position on a
date where I felt like, if this one doesn't work out,
another fish in the see all that kind of logic.
You on the other hand, Pepperdine and music man, you know, yeah,
I've had.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
The same lady in my life for the last.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Three bad example then okay, But I wish I would
have had that thes were disposable enough that I could
have tried that just once in my life. Don't know,
the lady will have I wish I could.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Have wordered.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
What woman in the last under has been cool with
that move?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
The lady will have the liver and onions, well, I
will be enjoyed. I don't know. It is an odd thing.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Right, Bassett's in on the north side of chicag I
go is. I believe it's now gone Great Ribs and
otherwise they had on their menu. It was so old
school that on the menu they had pork chops. But
then they also had the ladies portion and it was
just one pork shop.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Look of that.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
The lady will be having the man's portion of pork shops,
I too will be having the man's portion of pork shops.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
All right.

Home of the Dodgers. Day is with an inside look
at the Dodgers. This is the vass Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
David Vassa out of Dodger Stadium getting in this series
against the Diamondbacks before they take off on Labor Day
for a road trip that will start Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
And talk about Sarah Dippitity. We were out at Dodger
Stadium on Wednesday and Dave here, let's get some personal
business out of the way, Dave Vassa, because in studio
(16:49):
in for Petros, who's calling the Michigan State game is
Dave damashek a pittsburgher and Vassay was lamenting that all
of the fine dining Pittsburgh is establishments are closed, the
Italian joints on Labor Day, all the ones he's tried
to book are closed? Oh no, and he needs some
Are you still seeking a place to find? Are you
(17:12):
still looking for a place day for Monday night's dinner?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I am not. We had to resort to a chain
steakhouse because number one not just Labor Day. Matt Damashik's
town of Pittsburgh, I guess doesn't feel like opening on
Mondays are worth it, because no restaurant in Pittsburgh that's
halfway decent is open on Mondays? Is that then you
(17:36):
compound effect on Labor Day? Yeah? Yeah, Mondays are aren't
off day for everybody in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
It's the Pittsburgh Sabbath. Monday, we rest.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
The day after a Steeler's lost. They got to take
my look at that.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
See Dave had a big smile on his face and
now it's turned a frown.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Yeah, just no reason for that for that attack. I
think it probably harkens back to the last time I
was in for Petro Some of you remember that money.
But the question that I asked Vass how much consternation
inside the clubhouse is there? They shouldn't be so close
for the Dodgers against any of the NL West foes,
and they were kind of scuffling. They had suffered a
(18:15):
sweep at the hands of the Brewers, and I said,
you know, what's the level of concern investide, what's to
worry about?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
That sounds like somebody remembers that question.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
What would they have to worry about? They're the best
team in baseball.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
And where are they now? They're in first place?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Still so no so no.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
So update is there's no concern about the LA Dodgers
barely holding off the Padres.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
If you would have filled in two weeks ago, yes,
the concern level would have been high.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
There we go, but not now. Not now.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
We were discussing that a little bit earlier, Dave. We
we replayed the clip from Wednesday of Dave Roberts kind
of detailing about how the team he feels has in
fact hit their stride and and what you were just
mentioning two weeks ago, how they were feeling versus how
they feel today, even though it's just two game lead,
seems considerably different. Would you concur does it feel like
(19:05):
that with everybody in the clubhouse, even though it is
just a two game lead. It certainly felt like Dave
Roberts said, it's decidedly different than it was.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Yeah, not just because of the way they played that
final day on Sunday, but the fact that they've put
together consecutive games here where they've had good offensive approaches
at the plate as a group. And you got Key
Key Hernandez back. He's been a key part to the
last two wins playing third base, first base. And you're
(19:36):
gonna be getting Max Mounsey back and Michael Kopek back
on the next road trip. So things are looking much
better than what they were even a week ago for
the Dodgers. And I'm a big believer, and I felt
this way after seeing what I saw Sunday and Monday,
back to back games, and just what I heard in
the clubhouse, just where players started to hold each other
(19:56):
accountable about the lack of focus, approach, team approach. I'm
a big believer. There's a very good chance the Dodgers
can win five to six on this homestand and they've
had great success against Zach Gallen in the past. He's
only beaten the Dodgers once in fourteen appearances. So I
feel like the Dodgers are ready to cook. And honestly,
(20:19):
when you say a two game lead, tack on another
one because the Dodgers hold the tiebreaker over the Padres.
And you may have missed this, Matt. As the Dodgers
are getting healthier, other playoff teams in the National League
are getting more injured, starting with the Phillies Zach Wheeler
out for the season, Trevor McGill, the All Star closer
(20:40):
for the Brewers flexer strain on the il. And then
today it's revealed that Xander Bogarts has a broken left foot.
He's out indefinitely. So as the Dodgers are getting healthier,
other teams are breaking down.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
And Dave as that effect of the band, that's a
fair accusation him justin then maybe I missed that. I
think that is absolutely fair. Some may take offense that
I don't. I think it's fair to wonder whether or
not I missed all of that. Sorry, that was very.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Big of you. You didn't have to do that, honey.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Just think it's you know, let's not forget the Dodgers
are going to Pittsburgh. I know it's a depressing city,
but I feel like, now.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Yes, listen, you get the best medical counsel anywhere in
these United States. Thanks to the starting quarterback of the Steelers.
Just ask him. He'll tell you best medical practice. Probably
will tell you even if you don't ask him about that.
By the way, if you do need a nice meal,
just drop by Mo Damashek's place. I'll put in a call. Listen.
Vessay is a nice boy. He'll behave himself.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Most most of the best.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Oh, she would win. That would be something she'd witch
whip you up some of her nice ketchup with Dukes.
Hold is your mother now, Dave, Yes, that's my mom.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
And he's inviting you to his family home.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
The Buncoes. He's gonna be the Dodgers mom by the
end of that series. You don't get Paul's skiings, I
don't think.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
But no they do. They do see schemes. That'll be
the one day that the Buscos are the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Daddy, Oh, on Tuesday it is, and then Majinski and
then Ashcraft they are. I know it's crazy and nobody
cares in Los Angeles, but that pitching is they are
so loaded up. They just don't happen to have a
single major league bat in the lineup either way. Before
all that, like you say, they're wrapping up the home
stand and Walker Buehler wouldn't you know it is now
(22:28):
being released first thing since he was it was or
is technically with the Red Sox unless it's a formal release.
At this point, is he already in La easy beasy
could just move over to the other clubhouse right if
they want them.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
As much as I would love that, I don't see
how Walker Buehler fits. The Dodgers starting staff is completely
full and is the strength of this team. My bold
prediction on where Walker Buehler signs after being released. It
has happened. He will be reunited with another former Dodger
(23:07):
popular fans favorite, Justin Turner on the North Side of
Chicago pitching for your Chicago Cubs in September.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Bueler, Wait, did you know? Is that the drop you
were using? Did I just step on Bueller?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Oh no, I didn't have the Buehler.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Oh well, Buehler, Yeah, there you go. Farris was on
the North Side Cubs game.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Nothing nothing, Who's winning the Bears? Exactly? That's a great.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
We don't have any inside information, but it just makes sense.
The Cubs aren't desperate need of starting pitching. Justin Turner
nose Walker Buehler really well, and uh, they're going to
be a playoff team, and why do you want Bueller?
You want them for the playoff push and the postseason.
So I got Cubs as the favorite to sign Buehler
(23:55):
before September first, so he could be eligible for the postseason.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
When we were talking to Clayton Dave Clayton Kershaw on Wednesday,
he just kind of casually acknowledged, you know, oh yeah,
it's a six man rotation as well. And well, you
know what happens with a six man rotation when the
playoffs start, You might lose half of it. You know,
some teams will actually venture into a four man rotation,
(24:21):
but many end up going with a three man Like,
how do you when all of these guys are pitching
so well? I mean, I know that, you know, Emmit shehan,
it would be a real wild card, certainly if that
were to come to fruition and he would start a game.
But how do you think they do it? Is it
a four man? Is it a three man? What do
they do when the playoffs roll around if all these
guys continue pitching this.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Well, well, in a seventh best of seven game series,
you usually use four starting pitchers. That's not unheard of.
If you have them, if their quality and the Dodgers
have it in a best of five series, then you
would have to trim it down. And the Dodgers in
the past for an NLDS series might take an extra
position player in that situation or extra reliever in the
(25:07):
bullpen in that situation, because you don't need four starters
in a best of five series. So Kershaw will most
certainly be part of any sort of scenario. I guess
the guy that would be on the bubble, or two
guys that would be on the bubble in a short
series are Emmit Shean and Tyler glass Now. But the
Dodgers have invested a lot of time, a lot of
(25:30):
resources in glass Now and they believe that he has
some of the best stuff when he's healthy and is
feeling absolutely perfect on the mound. And yeah, that's who
would if you want an order, I mean, let's not
forget about Otani either. If you want an order, we
could we could discuss that at a later date. But
(25:50):
I'm a big believer in a best of seven series,
you pitch Otani so you can have him available to
close out an NLCS or a World Series game. Allah
in the world Baseball classes.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
And Kershaw's a lock based on the way you're laying
it out here, he would be a part of the
four man without question.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
I mean, I don't want to disparage anybody else, but
at this point, Dave, he would be one of the
four pitchers I trust. But he doesn't throw ninety plus
and you do need velocity against good teams. So I
have said this multiple times on Dodger Talk that there
was a scenario back in two thousand when the Yankees
(26:30):
beat the Mets in the Subway Series and Joe Torre
added David Khne, who was towards the end of his career,
to his bullpen to face one batter, one right handed batter.
His name was Mike Piazza. David Cohne faced one batter
in that two thousand Subway Series and he struck out
Mike Piazza. That's a scenario I could see for Kershaw
(26:51):
to come in to face a string of lefties or
maybe even Pickyback and OTAWNI start.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Well, well, first, Dave, what do you have tonight for pregame?
Who's on?
Speaker 4 (27:02):
I'm hosting the pregame show for Tim Kates tonight. So
We're going to replay part of our conversation with a
huge Dodger fan and very close personal friend of Clayton Kershaw,
Brad Paisley. In case you missed that on the off
night show.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
All right, looking forward to it. Dave going to be
hosting Dodgers on Deck again. First pitch just after seven,
Blake Snell on the Mile. We appreciate it, Dave.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
All right, guys, thank you. Wish me luck in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Say hi to my mom, Hi to mine.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
That's usually an insult. I'll say hi to your mom.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Tomorrow afternoon.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Get an autograph and your picture of taking with Andre
Ethier at Superior Grocers in Lynnwood, located at thirty eight
thirty one East Martin Luther King Blahlah blah Bar from
one until two pm. The event starts at noon. Get
there early. It is your chance to win Dodgers Giants
tickets and Superior Grocers gift cards. For more details go
to our instagram. At am five seventy LA Sports Againviick,
(27:53):
thank you to Dave. He will be hosting Dodgers on Deck.
He will secure a Dodger for the pregame interview, and
he will replay he was being humble and showing humility,
which I just said essentially when he mentioned Clayton Kershaw's friend,
Brad Paisley. But he's Clayton Kershaw's friend because David Vassy
(28:14):
befriended Brad Paisley and introduced him to all his fancy
Dodger friends. And that is how I mean. For God's sake,
the man orchestrated a meeting in his Nashville home during
the owners meetings out there where he's like, I'm going
to bring over Andrew Friedman, and I'm going to bring
over Dave Roberts. The next thing you know, the Tampa
people are there because Freeman invited them. And well, fortunately
(28:37):
or unfortunately, depending on what side you're on, Tyler Glass
noow is now a Dodger. And that deal was supposedly
consummated in the bar located on the property, the spacious
estate of Brad Paisley during the owners meetings back there.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
In the glass. Now, of course, one time Pittsburgh Pirate,
like so many relevant pictures come October once they leave
the Pirates Thate, I'm relevant. Of course, if listen that
Brad Paisley anecdote is gonna really make old mol damashek swoon.
You know she hears about it, right, she hears that
over a night. Waow, it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
What would she make for David?
Speaker 5 (29:12):
She a family recipe ketchup steak. We have a little
cube cube like.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
A Salisbury steak. It's like a Salisbury steak.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
But it in fact has ketchup.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Oh it's in Pittsburgh. Yeah, well right, you know, so
you got the ketchup thing going, local.
Speaker 5 (29:28):

Well, my fellow football Americans, it's very easy, football America.
Wherever you find your podcasts and if you want to

Speaker 2 (31:08):
So that I say why wouldn't you?
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Know?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
You get to see that beautiful backdrop Dave's Dave Dave's
sports room looks like a ten year old child.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
You know.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
I to see you and Petros coming two snoops, two
stops looking down on me. That's why you gotta watch
what so what? I keep stuff I'm a hoarder. They
make TV shows about those people, and I'm one of them.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
You're right, Jack, they do football America. That's right exactly.
You know it's football season, yes, and person still in America.
Last time I check, it's perfect time. It is a
perfect time for football America with Dave damask I love it.
I absolutely love it.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
Well, I appreciate it, and I love it even more
when one Matt money Smith shadows the digital.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Door anytime, you know that, I am just I just
wait for the When have I ever declined a Dave
Damashek invitation? It has never happened. Never happened.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Some of those times when we went out on the road,
the various Super Bowl destinations, you had different fancy pants
as you wanted to hang out with when I invited
you out for a dinner or maybe a.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Belt that is a bald faced live believe that is
what the kids would call gas lighting. Yeah, that that
is what you're doing right now.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
He did He because he did. It wasn't because he
thought he had better things to do. It's because he
had absolutely nothing else to do, so he figured, well
gotta eat.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah, let's go with that door. We are your home
with the World Series jampion Dodgers coming up next. It
is going to be Dodgers on deck with David Vasse
and that cast of characters tomorrow. Remember we are going
to be your home of college football all season long.
The biggest game is going to be heard right here
on five seventy LA Sports. So nine am we got
the kick Texas versus Ohio State number one versus number three.
(32:49):
If you're driving around headed to the beach, going down
that ninety one west to find your way to the
South Bay the six oh five south to get your
way to Orange County to cool off, be sure to
tune in because we have got the game of arguably
the year. Maybe if this thing plays out the way
the folks think it may. When you talk about chalk
Texas Ohio State tomorrow at nine am and Dave damashek
(33:11):
one last segment of content. You have our dead guy
birthday of the day, do you not?
Speaker 5 (33:15):
I do? But I just want to say it would
be a real shame if the best game of the
entire season is the first one that has played. So
let's root against that. I know what happened in Dublin
last week, but we don't count that right.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
No, it was great second half, you know, first half
not great, second half pretty entertaining.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
I like the uniforms, but we can talk about that
on another day, like you say, dead guy. Birthday of
the day Happy would have been eighty third birthday to
Sterling Morrison, guitarist, best known as one of the founding
members of the rock band The Velvet Underground. Born and
raised in Long Island, Sterling Morrison met singer Lou Reid
while visiting a friend at Syracuse in nineteen sixty three.
(33:53):
I think they were still the Orange Men at that point.
Now they're just the Orange which is less satisfying. A
year later, Morrison, reach your statement, John Well it is
and John Cale and another friend, Marine Tucker, formed a
band in New York City. The group performed under several
names before settling on The Velvet Underground. Taken from the
title of a nineteen sixty three book on a typical
(34:15):
sexual behavior feels like an attack?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Have you ever And I don't mean to put you
on the spot, And I wouldn't doubt that you don't
appreciate the Velvet Underground? You ever? You ever watched that mooring?
Tucker play the drums. It's something.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
By nineteen seventy the band wasn't getting along anymore, so
they broke up. Sterling Morrison went back to school and
earned a PhD in medieval literature from the University of Texas,
who we were just talking about. He also went to
work on tugboats in Houston. That seems like a fun job,
bet it isn't serving as a deckhand to supplement his income.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
It's snapped in half doing that.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
He'd work on the water for almost twenty years, twenty
years after the Velvet Underground, working his way up the
captain of his own tug book. In nineteen ninety two,
the core members of the Velvet Underground lineup decided to
reform for a European tour and possible new album. The
band headline Shows, but also opened up for You Too
on the European tour. By the end of that tour,
(35:09):
the band broke up again. This time it stuck. In
nineteen ninety four, Morrison was diagnosed with non Hodgkins lympoma,
and as his health deteriorated, he couldn't play guitar anymore.
He died in ninety five at age fifty three. Velvet
Underground never really earned a lot of commercial success during
their initial nine year run. Their popularity came years later,
(35:30):
as they are now widely regarded as one of the
most influential bands in rock music history. As well as underground,
experimental and alternative music, their provocative subject matter and experimentation
were instrumental in the development of punk, rock, new wave
and other genres. Happy would have been eighty third birthday
to Sterling Morrison from Velvet Underground and one more time,
(35:52):
Happy belated birthday fifty nine years young Matt Money Simith.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Thank you so much, Dave Dannischeck. I appreciate it. All
of the salutations did not go unnoticed during the course
of this three hour show.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
You're a live guy.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Birthday of the day, Happy eighty seventh to at one
time friend of the show. Not really to the show,
I should say, but to the Papadakas family. It is
odd for me to say this out loud, but I
know it to be true because he texted it to
John Papadecas. Elliott Gould does not like or at least
(36:25):
at one point did not like me, and let that
be known.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Yes, oh have I never heard about this?
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yes, he thought I was given Vic the brick a
little too much of the business during our elder abuse segment,
and he got very upset, and he sent the text
to John Papadekas saying, I do not like that Matt
money Smith. I do not like the way he treats Vic.
I don't find it to be funny. I find it
to be mean spirited, and I don't.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
Like him soly. Hell, what a feather in your cap.
But again, many people do not like me. I am.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
I am an unlikable feather at times, so for sure.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
But still, but I do not let.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
That cloud my opinion of this completely and totally brilliant
man as a one time and I believe you would
subscribe to this, Dave, and I would be floored that
if you had not seen this film as a one
time degenerate gambler in the late nineties and early two thousands,
and someone who wouldn't regularly, but more often than occasionally
(37:31):
find his way to the commerce casino card rooms, typically
when my friend Pete would call and say, so, you
see la spring break, Let's go to Commerce take some
money from the kids. You know, there is a particular
film that tickles my fancy one of my all time
favorite card game movie scenes, and it is the great
Elliott Gould in California splits. The audio is awesome that
(37:55):
you will hear in a moment. The visual component capturing
a card room in the nineteen seventies is exceptional. Here's
your quick setup playing lowball. Dealer throws a card a
little hard, goes off the table. Gould catches it. Fellow
player that he's been busting up pretty good for the
round says it's a dead card. Card room official says,
(38:16):
never hit the floor, cards playable. Continue with the hand,
and here we go.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
Br I don't have another job, right, you got your
just take it, take it.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
That's not even close.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
Twenty twenty twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
The flying card didn't stop you from betting?
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Huh? Twenty twenty forty.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
I raise yeah, production his perfection.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Pray, what could be cozier than this?
Speaker 2 (38:43):
I mean, this is perfection is and that you and me.
Speaker 7 (38:45):
In this handing you got Come on, how much you
got left?
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Seventeen?
Speaker 5 (38:53):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Not enough for the maximum bed three? I bet you're
seventeen job oh, Evan's smooth, no good? I got a
sixth perfect, Sorry that damn it.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
I went off the table, a jo.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
That's why you wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
You are ridiculous.
Speaker 7 (39:09):
You said it wasn't even cool yesterday's nose.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Working together? You have to watch.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
That's it. Huh man, it's absolutely risticul out here.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
What's going on with your working hotness together?
Speaker 3 (39:34):
I saw that man before in my life.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
I saw him the joker out in the Last Man.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
He is totally out of line.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
Okay, each other all night?
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Oh come on, William, shut down and settle down. Come on,
all right, all right?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Now?
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Who else saw this?
Speaker 3 (39:51):
I didn't see it.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
I didn't see it.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
What about you? But what do you want me to say?
He calls your cheetah.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
The man doesn't know how to play poker.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
The man is bad.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
He's a complete We all know that.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Right.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
The man goes broke, he can't handle it. The man
is on tilt. Do you want to hear any more?
Not me?
Speaker 4 (40:09):
Come on now, will you better just take it easy,
sport because the security is line.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
But I'll let you go.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
Yeah cool? Make me want to go to a casino? Right?
Is that weird that might takeaway? Is that?
Speaker 2 (40:20):
I think it's fair?
Speaker 5 (40:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
You see it and you're like god, the cedy card
rooms of Los Angeles in the nineteen seventies with something.
Speaker 5 (40:27):
By the way, Yes, that clarification. I don't want to
go to a new fangled nance. You want to go
to a ced card room. Yes, one that predates our existed. Yes,
I wish we could do the mid century Vegas.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
When they were rotating dealers, like you would play lowball
and it would just be ten people and the dealer
would rotate and the people playing the game would deal
the cards. And that's what was happening in that scene
in California. Split. Gould's awesome. He was born in Brooklyn,
of course, started on Broadway his first starring role in
sixty two and I can get it for your wholesale.
That's where he met as he and Barbara Streisan, of
(41:01):
course got married, married for about a decade.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Improbable cosman, Yes, Elliott cool.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
But I think at that time, you know, you're regarded
as one of the smartest guys in Hollywood. A tall
drink of water, so I guess you could cut a
wide swath Today.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (41:19):
Without Oceans eleven, would people under the age of forty
know who Elliott Gould is. I think? Well, also friends, right.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
He was on Friends, he was on Ray Donovan. So
I think you got enough, but you're right. Ocean's eleven
is certainly where I'm guessing most people know the great
Elliott Gould from the music you're listening to us, from
the Long Goodbye, played as Philip Marlow, a Petro's favorite.
Speaker 5 (41:44):
There I do.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
I do also want to acknowledge before we wrap up here,
Dave that he was in the great Attenborough film A
Bridge Too Far. And here's the cast of that fine
World War two film, Robert Redford, James Khan, Michael Kane,
Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Sir Lawrence Olivier and
(42:07):
Elliott Gould.
Speaker 5 (42:08):
Sweet is that number one? Is there any immediate back?
How could you possibly top that?
Speaker 4 (42:17):
Right?
Speaker 5 (42:17):
I mean, like cannon Ball Run has like, uh, I
don't know if it has Sinatra, but has Sammy Davis,
Sammy Davis Martin and Adrian Barbo Barbie. Yeah, that doesn't
rise to the level.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
No, it's it's it's gotta be the greatest ensemble cast ever.
Speaker 5 (42:34):
I I even apologize to all those people alive or
dead for mentioning cannon Ball Run as a comparison.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
Fantastic film have boobies in those Levion Jym suits.
Speaker 5 (42:43):
That's true, that's true. I take I take back my apology.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
I mentioned married to Babs, also married to Jennifer Bogart.
Three kids, one with streisand two with Bogart, eighty seven
years old today.
Speaker 5 (42:54):
Good for him the great, regardless.
Speaker 3 (42:57):
Of what might be of me.
Speaker 5 (42:59):
But there is still time for you to win him
over money. That's what we need to set this autumn
number one focus on.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I went to see John performing his jazz show at
the Catalina Jazz Club and Elliott Gould was there and
I said, Hey, I'm gonna go say hi to Elliott,
and They're like hm.
Speaker 5 (43:18):
I was like, all right, I guess I'm not. I'm
like me with Peyton Manning right exactly right. Who's doing
this interview? Dave Dan A shack got killed. That chill
it
Speaker 2 (43:32):
Our badges of honor that we wear all right, coming
up because dodgrews on deck ready for dout your baseball

always relive through PMS on demand the Petros and Money
(01:26):
Show podcast. You can procure that wherever you prefer, but
we prefer the iHeartRadio app because you can stream the
show live in the moment. As a matter of fact,
so stream it anywhere in the world. All you need
is the app, the AM five seventy LA Sports tile
and a signal and it is available to you live
in the moment if you're in the Greater LA area
and perhaps stuck and not able to go where you
(01:47):
want because it is Friday of Labor Day weekend and
you can't get near a TV, you can't get near
a radio. Remember you can listen to Dodger games on
the iHeartRadio app as well. And at seven ten pm
we got first pitch, Blake Snell on the mound for
the Dodgers. Galpin Motors broadcast Booth Dodgers against the Diamondbacks
for a three game series before making their way out
to Pittsburgh for a Tuesday Wednesday Thursday early early start series.
(02:11):
Tomorrow we got that great game Texas v Ohio State
at nine am, Big One.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
We made it the football season and maybe the greatest
first weekend again Dublin, Ireland happened, but first proper.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Right, Wow, we got LSU Clemson, We've got Texas Ohio State.
We've got USC Missouri State out here that you can
go to in person, as we discussed earlier in ninety
eight degrees in the shade, Like, that's what we have
on the college football slay. As you would like to say,
Dave in your football baby bit, if you got a
(02:51):
shot to go to the Rose Bowl for a forty
five percent capacity showdown between UCLA and Utah and the
day view of nico Ia Malayava in ninety eight degrees
in the shade, or USC versus Missouri State a thirty
(03:12):
five point favorite at the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Where you're going, Well, USC at least did it right.
As I always say, the NFL, the ongoing you know,
grift of preseason football games. If you actually needed preseason
football games for your players to get ready, then college
would play them. USC is basically playing a preseason game.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Man, these teams you should point out real quick before
you make your decision. Go ahead, UCLA a night game.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Well I am, I am excited for the Sportstown. That
is Los Angeles for Nico Eye's arrival. I think that
means good things. Obviously, as we've seen in the transfer
portal age, a single guy, if he plays the right position,
can swing the four of a program. I think nego
I has a chance to do that for the Bruins
(04:06):
this year. I'm trying to figure out easy to pick
the game you most want to see going into the weekend,
which one when it's all said and done, Which is
the highest quality of game? Ohio State Texas has a
chance to be kind of low scoring. I think maybe
the most satisfying game is LSU Clemson, just in terms
of the watch, not import to the rest of the season.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Well, LSU, I think LSU Clemson has the opportunity to
be the most enjoyable if Brian Kelly gets his teeth
kicked in Oh yeah, you know, just from a Shoden
Freud a sort of standpoint, it's like, what negative element
would you like to see most And I do think
that's probably number one. Mister Kelly, mister coach Kelly now
(04:52):
will make his way out to Clemson. They call it
death Valley out there, missus Kelly. But we all know
the death vallet is right here in our backyard.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Now, what about Notre Dame Miami? Carson Beck makes his
debut with the Canes after taking four million dollars eight
to leave Georgia.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Did you hear people call that one Catholics versus Convicts
sometimes and it should be a good game. But I
think it has the most meaning for the rest of
the season out of all the games we're talking about,
because if Notre Dame loses that one, I know, it's
easy to get into the playoffs now, but really, what's
the plausible path the Irish? You know, they would have
(05:26):
to obliterate everybody they faced the rest of the way, right.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But the committee loves Notre Dame. You know if you
get all the measurable or the all the metrics, where oh,
number one defense and they're transfer quarterbacks playing great, you
know what I mean? Like Notre Dame always gets the.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
They lost to Northern Illinois last year and still got
still playoffs.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Yeah, but they right, but that was the one that
they had to overcome. I think there will be no
such great for them on the rest of the schedule.
They wouldn't be able to stumble one more time. The
rest of the way if they drop this one to
the U.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I don't know if Bill Bellichick losing to TCU and
the opener is as satisfying. And I don't even know
if I want to see that. I don't know, Like
I'm not sure, Like do I want Belichick to go
down to the ACC and just, you know, whip up
on some college coaches and be like, this is how
it isn't the NFL, you idiots? You're on your other losers.
You don't know the art of war. I do you
know what I mean? Like that'd be kind of funny.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I don't well, I mean, you're not as you're not
a die hard fan of a team that got beaten
up by the Patriots over the first twenty years of
this millennium.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Fair.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
I definitely would.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You want to see him be miserable.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
I wouldn't mind a little shot in foot.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
All the cheating, all the cheating he was doing up
there at the NFL level.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Listen, what what what's the upside for the objective football
fan for Bill Belichick to succeed here.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
That he gets a job in the NFL next year.
I assume that's what he wants. He wants to have
a ten win season at North Carolina, make a run
at the ACC championship, maybe keep it tight with Dabo
there and Clemson and beat Florida State, and I'm back
in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
I'm not jealous of his situation with his young girlfriend,
but in broad strokes, is that is that what's coming
out to me here is resentment of the old man.
But I wouldn't want to be in his situation. I mean,
I think we've heard more than enough now about about
who she is.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Just add twenty years. I mean, you know, you're seventy,
you're in your seventies. Just get a hot little you know,
forty five year old and man, you're you're You're scoring
a big win there.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
But then that makes me small to if I'm rooting
against him because of that, If that's if that's what
the man in the mirror deep down.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
We'll have that game, by the way, on Monday TCU
in North Carolina right here on Anti seventy.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Hill, exactly right. Let's get to this real.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Quick in effect, Yeah, we're three not.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
About that fun fact, and we get to the fun
fact because the final our fun fun factor is brought
you back in Cordia University of Your Vines Masters in
Coaching and Athletics Administration Program. It is a fact that
a coach has more influence speaking of Bill Belichick on
others in one year than the average person does in
a lifetime. Make the most of that opportunity to impact
others by finding out more at CUI dot edu slash
(08:07):
coaching your final hour fun fact check courtesy of Labor
Day being on Monday? Did you know? Congress made Labor
Day a federal holiday in eighteen ninety four in response
to the Pullman strike. There were already days known as
Labor Day being celebrated in twenty three states. It was
not a federal holiday, and most countries had been celebrating
(08:31):
outside of the States, International Workers Day on May first,
where people, you know, the working class would get a
day off. The US said, let's not do that. Let's
go September, so we're not associated with the Haymarket riot
from May fourth in eighteen eighty six there in Chicago,
and we're going to go first Monday in September.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
I'm not one of my some sort of a dude.
You don't think I know what the man's up to
here throwing the proletariat a day off. This is this
is the man trying to celebrate himself. This is what
he does, and he does it on the eve of school,
or at least when school was supposed to start, when
things were better in our world. Now the man has
(09:13):
we're lawless now, and he just starts school up whenever
he decides. At some point in August. I don't know.
Did I see people go back to school in late July? Maybe?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I don't know why, God help us, If they went
back in late July.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
We've already crossed.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
We are seeing Christmas decorations in October, Halloween decorations in August.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
That you're not gonna hear me can play. That's joy.
I'm not gonna belly ache about that. School is the
opposite of joy.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
It sucks.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You know who doesn't think it's joy?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Thanksgiving? That's who? Okay, that's who doesn't think it's joy
When Christmas is already taken a bite out of the
Thanksgiving turkey. That is not joy.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
I tell you, though, What does that tell you? You
know what it's like?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
You know?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
The pro football team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, They've achieved a
lot and are admired by a lot of other pro
football franchises. They don't feel the need to celebrate themselves
with cheerleaders. They don't need that the other people need
to lure your eye with foolishness to all the cheerleaders.
Maybe that'll distract you from the mediocrity on the field.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You see, you're saying Thanksgiving doesn't need to pat itself.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
On the back Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is the best holiday, and
we all understand that else needs to let you know, like, oh,
but don't forget about us. You can wear costumes on
our day.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I do feel like for the folks out there that
celebrated for the birth of Jesus reason they feel like,
you know, I'm gonna put this manger, this live manger.
I've hired four little people and a and a family
of four to be the live manger on Christmas Eve
on my front lawn.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Well, I know how you are about that. The whole
month of December is a prayer.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Full Yes, now that I've discovered my Jewish heritage, I'm
really conflicted. I don't know what to do in the
month of December.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
I mean, listen, Honikhah, that's a tough one because it's
one a day, but for eight days versus the bounty
of one day. But yes, one thing we can agree
on is that Labor Day sucks. It is an attempt
to to dangle little care in front of you. See
that you don't notice that summer is over and it's
time to get back to full time work and worse yet.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
To school.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
And you know what offsets it. It is the greatest
gift of football. It's football season. If it weren't for
football season, what now would you do? After Labor Day?
You'd fall into a deep dark depression that would last
all the way through Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year's
and you wouldn't feel happy until March madness kicked up.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Maybe Valentine's Day you get a nice, sweet little girl
to hold your hand, you know, you share some of
those hearts with the messages, and maybe some red vine.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
That's another one.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I think you got a little sweetye on your arm.
Huh yeah, sweet things are looking up.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
You just said it's sweety as exactly right? When whoever
decided Valentine's Day should be a thing? Okay, right, that's
exactly right. Yes, it's a manufactured high holiday that requires
you to get gifts, but only you, because you are
the masculine member in the relationship. Where's my gift?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
You never got a Valentine's taking?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I mean I get here at Cologne or something there,
Dave da machete friend. But I mean, for the most part,
it's not mandatory. No, it's only it's only from from
if you're lucky enough to have a woman who understands
the inequity and makes it right. Woman, does you gotta go?
I gotta get you flowers, and I'm supposed to get
you sweets, and I'm supposed to take you out the
(12:32):
dinner and all the rest of it. Win's in my turn?
When do I get a nice one?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
What comes at the end of the night after that,
you know, a nice romantic evening, A nice box of chocolates,
maybe dark chocolate, which they say is a little bit
of an afrodisiac. There, you know, you get the cocoa
running through your veins.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Very similar to how the other holidays need to ask
for things in order to get something back, Thanksgiving doesn't,
Dave damashef need to throw out gifts to.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Woo a lady.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Thanksgiving, he just put He just puts putting.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
They watch you consume the three plates of food resting
on your stomach as you sit on the couch and
watch football, and just shovel mashed potatoes, no well on
a turkey and gravy into your mouth.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
On a date, I was being a gentleman, I would
eat the eat, the eat my soon to be lover's meal,
most of it for her, because you know she doesn't
want to eat that. It would be it would be
untoward for her to sit there and house an entire
plate of food. So I take that off her figure
intim and literal plate and eat it and then and
thereby because myself into a gentleman.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
If there is one thing that we have noticed about
Thanksgiving is there is almost never enough food.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
If there is one holiday where we run out of food.
I've never been on a Thanksgiving date, and I've never
heard of anybody else going on a date on Thanksgiving.
So you wait, why you can't you order?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
For what you're saying is, when you go on a date,
you order for the lady, but you order a second
plate of what you would like to consume. I'll be
ordering for the lady. She will have the smash burger
with a side of front.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
I wish you know what I will Obviously I'm not
a coxsman. I wish I were, so that I had
had enough opportunity to know.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
How many little Damascheks are running around out there right now.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
A lot, yeah, a lot. They're like four to seven. Yes,
I can't keep.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
So you can say you're not a coxsman, yet there's
a lot of little ones out there.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
I wish your seat has been spread. I felt like
I could. I've never been in a position on a
date where I felt like, if this one doesn't work out,
another fish in the see all that kind of logic.
You on the other hand, Pepperdine and music man, you know, yeah,
I've had.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
The same lady in my life for the last.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Three bad example then okay, But I wish I would
have had that thes were disposable enough that I could
have tried that just once in my life. Don't know,
the lady will have I wish I could.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Have wordered.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
What woman in the last under has been cool with
that move?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
The lady will have the liver and onions, well, I
will be enjoyed. I don't know. It is an odd thing.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Right, Bassett's in on the north side of chicag I
go is. I believe it's now gone Great Ribs and
otherwise they had on their menu. It was so old
school that on the menu they had pork chops. But
then they also had the ladies portion and it was
just one pork shop.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Look of that.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
The lady will be having the man's portion of pork shops,
I too will be having the man's portion of pork shops.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
All right.

Home of the Dodgers. Day is with an inside look
at the Dodgers. This is the vass Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
David Vassa out of Dodger Stadium getting in this series
against the Diamondbacks before they take off on Labor Day
for a road trip that will start Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
And talk about Sarah Dippitity. We were out at Dodger
Stadium on Wednesday and Dave here, let's get some personal
business out of the way, Dave Vassa, because in studio
(16:49):
in for Petros, who's calling the Michigan State game is
Dave damashek a pittsburgher and Vassay was lamenting that all
of the fine dining Pittsburgh is establishments are closed, the
Italian joints on Labor Day, all the ones he's tried
to book are closed? Oh no, and he needs some
Are you still seeking a place to find? Are you
(17:12):
still looking for a place day for Monday night's dinner?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I am not. We had to resort to a chain
steakhouse because number one not just Labor Day. Matt Damashik's
town of Pittsburgh, I guess doesn't feel like opening on
Mondays are worth it, because no restaurant in Pittsburgh that's
halfway decent is open on Mondays? Is that then you
(17:36):
compound effect on Labor Day? Yeah? Yeah, Mondays are aren't
off day for everybody in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
It's the Pittsburgh Sabbath. Monday, we rest.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
The day after a Steeler's lost. They got to take
my look at that.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
See Dave had a big smile on his face and
now it's turned a frown.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Yeah, just no reason for that for that attack. I
think it probably harkens back to the last time I
was in for Petro Some of you remember that money.
But the question that I asked Vass how much consternation
inside the clubhouse is there? They shouldn't be so close
for the Dodgers against any of the NL West foes,
and they were kind of scuffling. They had suffered a
(18:15):
sweep at the hands of the Brewers, and I said,
you know, what's the level of concern investide, what's to
worry about?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
That sounds like somebody remembers that question.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
What would they have to worry about? They're the best
team in baseball.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
And where are they now? They're in first place?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Still so no so no.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
So update is there's no concern about the LA Dodgers
barely holding off the Padres.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
If you would have filled in two weeks ago, yes,
the concern level would have been high.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
There we go, but not now. Not now.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
We were discussing that a little bit earlier, Dave. We
we replayed the clip from Wednesday of Dave Roberts kind
of detailing about how the team he feels has in
fact hit their stride and and what you were just
mentioning two weeks ago, how they were feeling versus how
they feel today, even though it's just two game lead,
seems considerably different. Would you concur does it feel like
(19:05):
that with everybody in the clubhouse, even though it is
just a two game lead. It certainly felt like Dave
Roberts said, it's decidedly different than it was.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Yeah, not just because of the way they played that
final day on Sunday, but the fact that they've put
together consecutive games here where they've had good offensive approaches
at the plate as a group. And you got Key
Key Hernandez back. He's been a key part to the
last two wins playing third base, first base. And you're
(19:36):
gonna be getting Max Mounsey back and Michael Kopek back
on the next road trip. So things are looking much
better than what they were even a week ago for
the Dodgers. And I'm a big believer, and I felt
this way after seeing what I saw Sunday and Monday,
back to back games, and just what I heard in
the clubhouse, just where players started to hold each other
(19:56):
accountable about the lack of focus, approach, team approach. I'm
a big believer. There's a very good chance the Dodgers
can win five to six on this homestand and they've
had great success against Zach Gallen in the past. He's
only beaten the Dodgers once in fourteen appearances. So I
feel like the Dodgers are ready to cook. And honestly,
(20:19):
when you say a two game lead, tack on another
one because the Dodgers hold the tiebreaker over the Padres.
And you may have missed this, Matt. As the Dodgers
are getting healthier, other playoff teams in the National League
are getting more injured, starting with the Phillies Zach Wheeler
out for the season, Trevor McGill, the All Star closer
(20:40):
for the Brewers flexer strain on the il. And then
today it's revealed that Xander Bogarts has a broken left foot.
He's out indefinitely. So as the Dodgers are getting healthier,
other teams are breaking down.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
And Dave as that effect of the band, that's a
fair accusation him justin then maybe I missed that. I
think that is absolutely fair. Some may take offense that
I don't. I think it's fair to wonder whether or
not I missed all of that. Sorry, that was very.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Big of you. You didn't have to do that, honey.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Just think it's you know, let's not forget the Dodgers
are going to Pittsburgh. I know it's a depressing city,
but I feel like, now.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Yes, listen, you get the best medical counsel anywhere in
these United States. Thanks to the starting quarterback of the Steelers.
Just ask him. He'll tell you best medical practice. Probably
will tell you even if you don't ask him about that.
By the way, if you do need a nice meal,
just drop by Mo Damashek's place. I'll put in a call. Listen.
Vessay is a nice boy. He'll behave himself.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Most most of the best.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Oh, she would win. That would be something she'd witch
whip you up some of her nice ketchup with Dukes.
Hold is your mother now, Dave, Yes, that's my mom.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
And he's inviting you to his family home.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
The Buncoes. He's gonna be the Dodgers mom by the
end of that series. You don't get Paul's skiings, I
don't think.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
But no they do. They do see schemes. That'll be
the one day that the Buscos are the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Daddy, Oh, on Tuesday it is, and then Majinski and
then Ashcraft they are. I know it's crazy and nobody
cares in Los Angeles, but that pitching is they are
so loaded up. They just don't happen to have a
single major league bat in the lineup either way. Before
all that, like you say, they're wrapping up the home
stand and Walker Buehler wouldn't you know it is now
(22:28):
being released first thing since he was it was or
is technically with the Red Sox unless it's a formal release.
At this point, is he already in La easy beasy
could just move over to the other clubhouse right if
they want them.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
As much as I would love that, I don't see
how Walker Buehler fits. The Dodgers starting staff is completely
full and is the strength of this team. My bold
prediction on where Walker Buehler signs after being released. It
has happened. He will be reunited with another former Dodger
(23:07):
popular fans favorite, Justin Turner on the North Side of
Chicago pitching for your Chicago Cubs in September.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Bueler, Wait, did you know? Is that the drop you
were using? Did I just step on Bueller?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Oh no, I didn't have the Buehler.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Oh well, Buehler, Yeah, there you go. Farris was on
the North Side Cubs game.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Nothing nothing, Who's winning the Bears? Exactly? That's a great.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
We don't have any inside information, but it just makes sense.
The Cubs aren't desperate need of starting pitching. Justin Turner
nose Walker Buehler really well, and uh, they're going to
be a playoff team, and why do you want Bueller?
You want them for the playoff push and the postseason.
So I got Cubs as the favorite to sign Buehler
(23:55):
before September first, so he could be eligible for the postseason.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
When we were talking to Clayton Dave Clayton Kershaw on Wednesday,
he just kind of casually acknowledged, you know, oh yeah,
it's a six man rotation as well. And well, you
know what happens with a six man rotation when the
playoffs start, You might lose half of it. You know,
some teams will actually venture into a four man rotation,
(24:21):
but many end up going with a three man Like,
how do you when all of these guys are pitching
so well? I mean, I know that, you know, Emmit shehan,
it would be a real wild card, certainly if that
were to come to fruition and he would start a game.
But how do you think they do it? Is it
a four man? Is it a three man? What do
they do when the playoffs roll around if all these
guys continue pitching this.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Well, well, in a seventh best of seven game series,
you usually use four starting pitchers. That's not unheard of.
If you have them, if their quality and the Dodgers
have it in a best of five series, then you
would have to trim it down. And the Dodgers in
the past for an NLDS series might take an extra
position player in that situation or extra reliever in the
(25:07):
bullpen in that situation, because you don't need four starters
in a best of five series. So Kershaw will most
certainly be part of any sort of scenario. I guess
the guy that would be on the bubble, or two
guys that would be on the bubble in a short
series are Emmit Shean and Tyler glass Now. But the
Dodgers have invested a lot of time, a lot of
(25:30):
resources in glass Now and they believe that he has
some of the best stuff when he's healthy and is
feeling absolutely perfect on the mound. And yeah, that's who
would if you want an order, I mean, let's not
forget about Otani either. If you want an order, we
could we could discuss that at a later date. But
(25:50):
I'm a big believer in a best of seven series,
you pitch Otani so you can have him available to
close out an NLCS or a World Series game. Allah
in the world Baseball classes.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
And Kershaw's a lock based on the way you're laying
it out here, he would be a part of the
four man without question.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
I mean, I don't want to disparage anybody else, but
at this point, Dave, he would be one of the
four pitchers I trust. But he doesn't throw ninety plus
and you do need velocity against good teams. So I
have said this multiple times on Dodger Talk that there
was a scenario back in two thousand when the Yankees
(26:30):
beat the Mets in the Subway Series and Joe Torre
added David Khne, who was towards the end of his career,
to his bullpen to face one batter, one right handed batter.
His name was Mike Piazza. David Cohne faced one batter
in that two thousand Subway Series and he struck out
Mike Piazza. That's a scenario I could see for Kershaw
(26:51):
to come in to face a string of lefties or
maybe even Pickyback and OTAWNI start.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Well, well, first, Dave, what do you have tonight for pregame?
Who's on?
Speaker 4 (27:02):
I'm hosting the pregame show for Tim Kates tonight. So
We're going to replay part of our conversation with a
huge Dodger fan and very close personal friend of Clayton Kershaw,
Brad Paisley. In case you missed that on the off
night show.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
All right, looking forward to it. Dave going to be
hosting Dodgers on Deck again. First pitch just after seven,
Blake Snell on the Mile. We appreciate it, Dave.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
All right, guys, thank you. Wish me luck in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5 (27:25):

(27:53):
thank you to Dave. He will be hosting Dodgers on Deck.
He will secure a Dodger for the pregame interview, and
he will replay he was being humble and showing humility,
which I just said essentially when he mentioned Clayton Kershaw's friend,
Brad Paisley. But he's Clayton Kershaw's friend because David Vassy
(28:14):
befriended Brad Paisley and introduced him to all his fancy
Dodger friends. And that is how I mean. For God's sake,
the man orchestrated a meeting in his Nashville home during
the owners meetings out there where he's like, I'm going
to bring over Andrew Friedman, and I'm going to bring
over Dave Roberts. The next thing you know, the Tampa
people are there because Freeman invited them. And well, fortunately
(28:37):
or unfortunately, depending on what side you're on, Tyler Glass
noow is now a Dodger. And that deal was supposedly
consummated in the bar located on the property, the spacious
estate of Brad Paisley during the owners meetings back there.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
In the glass. Now, of course, one time Pittsburgh Pirate,
like so many relevant pictures come October once they leave
the Pirates Thate, I'm relevant. Of course, if listen that
Brad Paisley anecdote is gonna really make old mol damashek swoon.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
You get to see that beautiful backdrop Dave's Dave Dave's

Speaker 3 (31:16):
You know.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
I to see you and Petros coming two snoops, two
stops looking down on me. That's why you gotta watch
what so what? I keep stuff I'm a hoarder. They

Speaker 2 (31:31):
You're right, Jack, they do football America. That's right exactly.
You know it's football season, yes, and person still in America.
Last time I check, it's perfect time. It is a
perfect time for football America with Dave damask I love it.
I absolutely love it.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
Well, I appreciate it, and I love it even more
when one Matt money Smith shadows the digital.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Door anytime, you know that, I am just I just
wait for the When have I ever declined a Dave
Damashek invitation? It has never happened. Never happened.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Some of those times when we went out on the road,
the various Super Bowl destinations, you had different fancy pants
as you wanted to hang out with when I invited
you out for a dinner or maybe a.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Belt that is a bald faced live believe that is
what the kids would call gas lighting. Yeah, that that
is what you're doing right now.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
He did He because he did. It wasn't because he
thought he had better things to do. It's because he
had absolutely nothing else to do, so he figured, well
gotta eat.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah, let's go with that door. We are your home
with the World Series jampion Dodgers coming up next. It
is going to be Dodgers on deck with David Vasse
and that cast of characters tomorrow. Remember we are going
to be your home of college football all season long.
The biggest game is going to be heard right here
on five seventy LA Sports. So nine am we got
the kick Texas versus Ohio State number one versus number three.
(32:49):
If you're driving around headed to the beach, going down
that ninety one west to find your way to the
South Bay the six oh five south to get your
way to Orange County to cool off, be sure to
tune in because we have got the game of arguably
the year. Maybe if this thing plays out the way
the folks think it may. When you talk about chalk
Texas Ohio State tomorrow at nine am and Dave damashek
(33:11):
one last segment of content. You have our dead guy
birthday of the day, do you not?
Speaker 5 (33:15):
I do? But I just want to say it would
be a real shame if the best game of the
entire season is the first one that has played. So
let's root against that. I know what happened in Dublin
last week, but we don't count that right.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
No, it was great second half, you know, first half
not great, second half pretty entertaining.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
I like the uniforms, but we can talk about that
on another day, like you say, dead guy. Birthday of
the day Happy would have been eighty third birthday to
Sterling Morrison, guitarist, best known as one of the founding
members of the rock band The Velvet Underground. Born and
raised in Long Island, Sterling Morrison met singer Lou Reid
while visiting a friend at Syracuse in nineteen sixty three.
(33:53):
I think they were still the Orange Men at that point.
Now they're just the Orange which is less satisfying. A
year later, Morrison, reach your statement, John Well it is
and John Cale and another friend, Marine Tucker, formed a
band in New York City. The group performed under several
names before settling on The Velvet Underground. Taken from the
title of a nineteen sixty three book on a typical
(34:15):
sexual behavior feels like an attack?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Have you ever And I don't mean to put you
on the spot, And I wouldn't doubt that you don't
appreciate the Velvet Underground? You ever? You ever watched that mooring?
Tucker play the drums. It's something.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
By nineteen seventy the band wasn't getting along anymore, so
they broke up. Sterling Morrison went back to school and
earned a PhD in medieval literature from the University of Texas,
who we were just talking about. He also went to
work on tugboats in Houston. That seems like a fun job,
bet it isn't serving as a deckhand to supplement his income.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
It's snapped in half doing that.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
He'd work on the water for almost twenty years, twenty
years after the Velvet Underground, working his way up the
captain of his own tug book. In nineteen ninety two,
the core members of the Velvet Underground lineup decided to
reform for a European tour and possible new album. The
band headline Shows, but also opened up for You Too
on the European tour. By the end of that tour,
(35:09):
the band broke up again. This time it stuck. In
nineteen ninety four, Morrison was diagnosed with non Hodgkins lympoma,
and as his health deteriorated, he couldn't play guitar anymore.
He died in ninety five at age fifty three. Velvet
Underground never really earned a lot of commercial success during
their initial nine year run. Their popularity came years later,
(35:30):
as they are now widely regarded as one of the
most influential bands in rock music history. As well as underground,
experimental and alternative music, their provocative subject matter and experimentation
were instrumental in the development of punk, rock, new wave
and other genres. Happy would have been eighty third birthday
to Sterling Morrison from Velvet Underground and one more time,
(35:52):
Happy belated birthday fifty nine years young Matt Money Simith.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Thank you so much, Dave Dannischeck. I appreciate it. All
of the salutations did not go unnoticed during the course
of this three hour show.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
You're a live guy.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Birthday of the day, Happy eighty seventh to at one
time friend of the show. Not really to the show,
I should say, but to the Papadakas family. It is
odd for me to say this out loud, but I
know it to be true because he texted it to
John Papadecas. Elliott Gould does not like or at least
(36:25):
at one point did not like me, and let that
be known.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Yes, oh have I never heard about this?
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yes, he thought I was given Vic the brick a
little too much of the business during our elder abuse segment,
and he got very upset, and he sent the text
to John Papadekas saying, I do not like that Matt
money Smith. I do not like the way he treats Vic.
I don't find it to be funny. I find it
to be mean spirited, and I don't.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
Like him soly. Hell, what a feather in your cap.
But again, many people do not like me. I am.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
I am an unlikable feather at times, so for sure.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
But still, but I do not let.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
That cloud my opinion of this completely and totally brilliant
man as a one time and I believe you would
subscribe to this, Dave, and I would be floored that
if you had not seen this film as a one
time degenerate gambler in the late nineties and early two thousands,
and someone who wouldn't regularly, but more often than occasionally
(37:31):
find his way to the commerce casino card rooms, typically
when my friend Pete would call and say, so, you
see la spring break, Let's go to Commerce take some
money from the kids. You know, there is a particular
film that tickles my fancy one of my all time
favorite card game movie scenes, and it is the great
Elliott Gould in California splits. The audio is awesome that
(37:55):
you will hear in a moment. The visual component capturing
a card room in the nineteen seventies is exceptional. Here's
your quick setup playing lowball. Dealer throws a card a
little hard, goes off the table. Gould catches it. Fellow
player that he's been busting up pretty good for the
round says it's a dead card. Card room official says,
(38:16):
never hit the floor, cards playable. Continue with the hand,
and here we go.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
Br I don't have another job, right, you got your
just take it, take it.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
That's not even close.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
Twenty twenty twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
The flying card didn't stop you from betting?
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Huh? Twenty twenty forty.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
I raise yeah, production his perfection.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Pray, what could be cozier than this?
Speaker 2 (38:43):
I mean, this is perfection is and that you and me.
Speaker 7 (38:45):
In this handing you got Come on, how much you
got left?
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Seventeen?
Speaker 5 (38:53):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Not enough for the maximum bed three? I bet you're
seventeen job oh, Evan's smooth, no good? I got a
sixth perfect, Sorry that damn it.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
I went off the table, a jo.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
That's why you wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
You are ridiculous.
Speaker 7 (39:09):
You said it wasn't even cool yesterday's nose.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Working together? You have to watch.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
That's it. Huh man, it's absolutely risticul out here.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
What's going on with your working hotness together?
Speaker 3 (39:34):
I saw that man before in my life.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
I saw him the joker out in the Last Man.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
He is totally out of line.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
Okay, each other all night?
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Oh come on, William, shut down and settle down. Come on,
all right, all right?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Now?
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Who else saw this?
Speaker 3 (39:51):
I didn't see it.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
I didn't see it.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
What about you? But what do you want me to say?
He calls your cheetah.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
The man doesn't know how to play poker.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
The man is bad.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
He's a complete We all know that.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Right.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
The man goes broke, he can't handle it. The man
is on tilt. Do you want to hear any more?
Not me?
Speaker 4 (40:09):
Come on now, will you better just take it easy,
sport because the security is line.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
But I'll let you go.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
Yeah cool? Make me want to go to a casino? Right?
Is that weird that might takeaway? Is that?
Speaker 2 (40:20):
I think it's fair?
Speaker 5 (40:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
You see it and you're like god, the cedy card
rooms of Los Angeles in the nineteen seventies with something.
Speaker 5 (40:27):
By the way, Yes, that clarification. I don't want to
go to a new fangled nance. You want to go
to a ced card room. Yes, one that predates our existed. Yes,
I wish we could do the mid century Vegas.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
When they were rotating dealers, like you would play lowball
and it would just be ten people and the dealer
would rotate and the people playing the game would deal
the cards. And that's what was happening in that scene
in California. Split. Gould's awesome. He was born in Brooklyn,
of course, started on Broadway his first starring role in
sixty two and I can get it for your wholesale.
That's where he met as he and Barbara Streisan, of
(41:01):
course got married, married for about a decade.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Improbable cosman, Yes, Elliott cool.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
But I think at that time, you know, you're regarded
as one of the smartest guys in Hollywood. A tall
drink of water, so I guess you could cut a
wide swath Today.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (41:19):
Without Oceans eleven, would people under the age of forty
know who Elliott Gould is. I think? Well, also friends, right.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
He was on Friends, he was on Ray Donovan. So
I think you got enough, but you're right. Ocean's eleven
is certainly where I'm guessing most people know the great
Elliott Gould from the music you're listening to us, from
the Long Goodbye, played as Philip Marlow, a Petro's favorite.
Speaker 5 (41:44):
There I do.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
I do also want to acknowledge before we wrap up here,
Dave that he was in the great Attenborough film A
Bridge Too Far. And here's the cast of that fine
World War two film, Robert Redford, James Khan, Michael Kane,
Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Sir Lawrence Olivier and
(42:07):
Elliott Gould.
Speaker 5 (42:08):
Sweet is that number one? Is there any immediate back?
How could you possibly top that?
Speaker 4 (42:17):
Right?
Speaker 5 (42:17):
I mean, like cannon Ball Run has like, uh, I
don't know if it has Sinatra, but has Sammy Davis,
Sammy Davis Martin and Adrian Barbo Barbie. Yeah, that doesn't
rise to the level.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
No, it's it's it's gotta be the greatest ensemble cast ever.
Speaker 5 (42:34):
I I even apologize to all those people alive or
dead for mentioning cannon Ball Run as a comparison.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
Fantastic film have boobies in those Levion Jym suits.
Speaker 5 (42:43):
That's true, that's true. I take I take back my apology.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
I mentioned married to Babs, also married to Jennifer Bogart.
Three kids, one with streisand two with Bogart, eighty seven
years old today.
Speaker 5 (42:54):
Good for him the great, regardless.
Speaker 3 (42:57):
Of what might be of me.
Speaker 5 (42:59):
But there is still time for you to win him
over money. That's what we need to set this autumn
number one focus on.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I went to see John performing his jazz show at
the Catalina Jazz Club and Elliott Gould was there and
I said, Hey, I'm gonna go say hi to Elliott,
and They're like hm.
Speaker 5 (43:18):
I was like, all right, I guess I'm not. I'm
like me with Peyton Manning right exactly right. Who's doing
this interview? Dave Dan A shack got killed. That chill
it
Speaker 2 (43:32):
Our badges of honor that we wear all right, coming
up because dodgrews on deck ready for dout your baseball
at seven tens, Elliott
