You wouldn't let us when we're angry, No, you would not.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
You don't want us when we're panicked and hyperventilating.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
Staved it off after last night's performance, that's for sure.

the cave of discontent, but we could always come back out.
So we'll see what happens there. In the meantime, the

five seventy LA Sports. And there is there is an
event in Downey next week that we will talk about,
or this week that we will talk about. But next

(02:57):
week on Friday, Matt and I are going to Downey
to the be And I don't know what your policy
is in your mind, Matt, in your pulsating brain, but
I like ten days out. If we have a remote
and it's not well attended and we didn't promote it
ten days out, I blame myself. I blame myself. And

(03:20):
right now we're ten days out. We're ten days out.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Yeah, it's familiar. Venue has had some high highs and
some lo lows.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
That's right, Matt.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
And some midds, yeah, some mid mids. I believe our
last I get more mids. Our most recent appearance, there
was you pointing out that you wanted to dress for success.
We had an individual show up in a suit.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, that was good.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
That was all right, I forgot about dress for success,
and I think I wore sweatpants and a T shirt.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, I mean, you know, but that's not about That's
not the disaster that we suffered.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
In the path.

Speaker 5 (03:59):
I felt like the guy wearing a pair of shorts
to a wedding.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Like the last time we were there was like a
Hindenburg like disaster. Yes, it wasn't like shorts to a wedding.
Bert was sitting there eating a steak, looking homeless and napping.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yes, the PA that did not work is easily one
of the two worst remotes we've ever experienced.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Deep disaster, Yes, but anyway.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
Not the worst. The worst is not making it down
the air in our time slot. Can't trump that. Literally,
we were supposed.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
To be said that that happened at the Commerce casino,
and our boss called me in for saying it was
the worst remote we've ever done and yelled at me
for that.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
Yeah, well we didn't make it on the air. At
some point, boss, we have a responsibility to the people
that aren't at the remote and expected to hear us
on the radio. I know you're upset that the client
didn't have us and the one hundred and fifty to
two hundred people that showed up, but we were kind
of worried about the thousands of people, tens of thousands

(05:00):
that listen on their daily commute.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
But on this, on this single DeMaio, it should be
said that a week from Friday, Matt and I are
headed to Mexican Beverly Hills for a Flex Alert two
o'clock before the Dodgers Angels, J's Petros and money downy extravaganza,
and you better strap on your bullet belts around your

(05:23):
chest like Pancho Villa and get out there. We are
looking forward to seeing you. Please don't firearms. We're gonna
need amos, fine, but no firearms please.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
I forgot that that's a flex two to five point thirty. Yeah, Matt,
Flex up, peeps, flex your chest, bring your uh, bring
your your big smiles and good attitudes.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
And don't worry, Matt. We'll have plenty of downy surf
rock and hot rod rock to play and a lot
of great downy memories for that.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
But you know what I do, Mustaine, Can we finally
get Mustanine to show up at one of these?

Speaker 3 (05:56):
The answer is no, it's n we find are we
getting Oh my god, man, I wanted to drop kick him. No.
I saw Jackson Brown at the Beach Life, just walking
around eating pizza alone, all old, and I was like,
that's son of a bitch.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
I bet if you approached him, he would have said,
my people never ran this by me. I absolutely would
have come to see you guys. Thousand percent that would
have happened. That's how it always goes.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
I didn't do it. I didn't do it. I didn't
want him run over and try to talk to Jackson
Brown while he was scared.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Who the hell do you think you are?

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Brown?

Speaker 5 (06:32):
Yeah, I'm talking to you, JB.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
I was standing with people that worked there and they're like, dude,
there's Jackson Brown. I just ran into him as crazy
and I was like, is he going on with sweet
baby James? And they're like, I don't know, but there
he is. And I saw him anyway. Sorry that's a sidebar,
but I should say this, And yeah, I didn't have
the balls to approach him.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
He's all old and small. He's very old, right, Yeah,
and he played Each Life. I guess I could have
talked to him then. I was there backstage anyway, whatever,
I'm sorry, I'm a loser. Why don't you kill me?

Speaker 5 (07:07):
He's only seventy seven, guys.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
That's pretty old to be walking around eating a pizza
solo on the sand. What if the lagoon floods again?

Speaker 5 (07:18):
Corrections and retractions? I mean I knew it when it
came out. I always do it too. You think i'd
learned that It's not mistake, thanks San Diego. No, it's
it's Headfield. It's freaking Headfield.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
I mean, you, Matt, when you start naming off rock stars,
you know, I mean, I take your word for it,
but I didn't know that Headfield's there too.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
I just always him with enough.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
That town's not big enough for Hetfield and mistake. No, no,
it's like having two different cartels living there. You can't
have that.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
Son of a bitch, where were you?

Speaker 2 (07:50):
All right?

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Well?

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Do we have a lot of corrections? Man? I'm sorry, Maau, Yes,
you know I was a little broady yesterday after the beachline.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Corrections and retractions.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Number one the Tupac T shirt. It was the T
shirt that Snoop Dogg wore that was Otani and is
a famous Tupac and Snoop Dogg picture instead of instead
of what I just said. I didn't really know the
origin of the picture. I knew one of them was

(08:19):
Snoop Dogg. I thought maybe it was dre or something.
I knew it was two black guys, and he had
it turned to two Asian guys. And those two Asian
guys happened to be elite baseball players, one of them
maybe the greatest baseball player of all time. Well, Snoop
Dogg and Tupac are darker than Otani and Yamamoto. So

(08:40):
the point is I was wrong about I mean I was.
I didn't mention it, and I was like, yeah, you know,
I was never and it really is the truth, that
big of a Tupac guy. And I gave that excuse
to the textosor who was admonishing me, and that textosaur
then said, but didn't you live in Oakland for a while.

(09:00):
I was like, yeah, but you know, I'm sorry. I'm
sorry anyway, I'm sorry about that. It's a famous Tupac
and Snoop Dogg photo, and that was the Otawnian Yamamoto
photo that Snoop Dogg performed in Miami with the other
day that relates to the.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Dodgers corrections and retractions.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Kevin Durant blew his achilles for the Golden State Warriors
when they were playing the Raptors.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
The Rats were down there, we go.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
And the Raptors came back, and and Kawhi Leonard similar situation. Well,
you know, those are a lot of years that people
in the NBA would like to forget.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
You.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Now, they're raining threes up in Oakland. Everybody's having a
great time, but the Laker fans and the people down here,
Steve Balmer is still trying to make Blake Griffin happen
or whatever. You know what.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
Yeah, it was a dark time.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Darkness prisoning me Headfield. Yeah, a lot of corrections there,
and I'm sorry, sorry I had to bring it up.
But Matt, I do have some celebracion for you if
you'd like to hear.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
What do we got?

Speaker 3 (10:12):
I thought this was a little bit interesting. Did you
know the largest party for Sinko Demio as it is
Sinko Domayo today. Perhaps you're going up to the Red Onion.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
No, I'm going to go to where I think every
day Junior Cinco de Mayo party should should go to
really embrace. I believe it was what the Battle of Puebla. Yes,
we're going to discuss hobbyers in Newport Beach.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Oh that's perfect, right, I mean, you want to be
a real Mexican.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
That's where I'm gonna go.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
But you know, I mean that might be an appropriate
I mean, that's a California place, right, you know.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
And I guess Javier so well, it's probably better than
going to Holy Guacamogi, Corona del Mar.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
You never know, but anything that's California is the sometime
maybe a little bit more Sinkle DeMaio than the actual
Sinkle Demyo in Mexico. Let me explain, Sink of DeMaio.
The biggest single de mile party on earth is not
in Bontenay or in Mexico City or anywhere, or even

(11:15):
as Matt said, Puebla where the Mexican victory that this
is a celebration of was the over the French troops
in eighteen sixty two while we were engaged in our
own civil war here in America. So don't think that
the Mexicans beat the US on Sink of Demayo, kids, Okay,

(11:39):
because they did it. The US took pretty good care
of Mexico right before that, and the Mexican American born.
And don't you forget that they beat the French.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, okay, frogs, they beat the French.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Now, the French had a larger army and it was
an unlikely victory, but they beat the French. But anyway,
in Puebla today and in Mexico they haven't and and
Puebla's pretty far down there. It ain't like driving to Tea.
It's deep. They have an authentic l Cinco de Mayo

(12:18):
celebration with a few days of lectures concerts. Today there
is a large parade featuring all branches of the Mexican military. Army, Navy,
special Forces, soldiers also dressed in period uniforms. So I'm

(12:41):
sure there's a guy with the two belts of bullets
over his chest like Rambo. Civilians built floats, There are
school bands. Puebla has a bunch of colleges university dots there.
It is the fourth largest city in Mexico after all.

(13:03):
So it's a good sized parade, Matt. You know, it's
not like the the wedding parade and the Godfather too.
We're talking a lot about a lot of people. They
also do a reenaction of the battle, you know, for
the reenactors.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
Reenactment you frog stand over there.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
I don't know if they ship in French soldiers to
get beat or not.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Awesome if they did.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
But apparently the biggest single DeMaio event on the globe,
and what is known as the Sinko DeMaio that we
all know, he is right here in Los Angeles, the
Fiesta del Broadway on Broadway downtown and right across from
Philip's Albera Street, right across from our beloved Phillips, which

(13:58):
reminds me of the guy that wore the sombrero and
the mustache and the poncho and went around and went
around to the college, was like, am I offensive?

Speaker 5 (14:07):
And they were like, yes, totally, that's appropriating.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
And then he went down to Helvaria Street. He was like, no,
I like, it's just used address the Puebla. The Puebla
celebration seems a little different from our more commercialized Seco
demio here in the United States, where Kathy from Sales

(14:34):
Barf's a Quervo Cadillac Margarito all over. You Bill Plashki
looking on, it's a it's not Mexican independence, Matt. That's
actually eighteen twenty one Mexican independence from Spain before the
frogs tried to stick their chin in, and that's celebrated

(14:56):
in September September fifteen. And usually from Mexican independence were
so wrapped up in football. We can't be bothered. No,
but senka domail. We have more timbo to stretch on foodbanks.
No set football, football and Medican home. This is a battle,

(15:19):
well here, let me tell you about Hobbs matt This
is a battle that beat France. But because France lost
this battle and eventually things turned for the French in
Maximilian and all that in Mexico at that time, because
the Battle of Puebla, it was thought Now down the years,

(15:42):
who's to say it's forgotten, but at the time, especially
in the West, especially here in Los Angeles and California,
when the Battle of Puebla was won by the Mexicans,
it was thought that it was damn near guaranteed now
that France was not who desperately wanted southern cotton, was

(16:05):
not going to involve themselves in our Civil War and
help out the Confederate Army and the South. And there
was a big celebration on the original Sinkle Demayo in
eighteen sixty two when that news came out here in California. Now,
I don't know if a bunch of white guys went

(16:27):
to the common cantina, you know what I mean. Yeah,
I don't know. It's happened for our that's what happened.
But there was a celebration. So it should be noted
that the original Cinkle Demayo was also a big deal

(16:47):
in California, and it was a big deal for white
people in California because white people in California were rooting
for the North and they did not want did not
the France involved in the French involved in the Civil War.
So you can't say the California has always celebrated the

(17:10):
Mexican victory for Sinkle Demile and you are not appropriating culture.
Put on your sombrero and your giant mustache and your
huge poncho and shoot a blanket into the sky. Now, Matt,
as far as the margarita goes, that is an altogether

(17:32):
difference touring. It was invented in nineteen thirty. The thing
that you know, Beth in Sales is going to barf
your on your chest later.

Speaker 5 (17:42):
She having a salt on the rim classic marg or
is she got a blended strawberry in that beautiful glass.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
I mean, you know, it's just really the margarita was
originally much like the story of the Philippe's French Dip.
The margarita was invented in nineteen thirty six at Tijuana's
Turf Bar. The original margarita originally translated in English. The

(18:08):
original name was the daisy, and then it became Margarita
over the years. It was served to a newspaper man
as a mistake. The bartender was making like a sour
drink and grabbed the tequila instead of the brandy, and
hence the margarita.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
Hmm.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
Anyway, a little history to start your day.

Speaker 5 (18:30):
Well, just make sure you order it authentic, you know,
get that nice thick, syrupy margarita mix to go with
your tequila.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
There.

Speaker 5 (18:38):
That's the proper way to to drink one of.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Those, like like the one like Zingzang.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
Yeah, like the Zingzang, Just as long as it's really
sugary and very syrupy thick, you know. And hey, it's
all part viscosity.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
It's all in thermal breakdown, right, It is all part
of our history as a Medicanos and Mexicanos here on
Asian American Pacific Islander month. We all have a.

Speaker 5 (19:07):
Place, a party inside of a party.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
In this world. And if you're in Look, if you're
in Connecticut and you're trying to eat a turo and
get drunk on quervo, that's on you. But here in California,
I mean, you know, it wasn't. It wasn't, but it
was a it was a nationwide celebration when the Dieblo battle.

Speaker 5 (19:26):
Was what did we follow? Who did we follow at
Ponchos because it was the show before us and then us,
And obviously I remember specifically who was working. I don't
think it. I don't think it was the Loose Cannons.
I don't. I can't imagine Patt O'Brien doing it.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
I think it was Rider and Lee and local to
Manhattan Beach, right, which is awesome? Right, God, dude, I'm like,
this is my spot. We all have a place in
this world, in my neighborhood. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
We'll be back with your neighborhood, is that right?

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Happy sink of Demaya. David Vasse will join us next.
The Dodgers are in Houston. We got a lot of action.
But don't be ashamed. Don't hang your head. White man
in California, ah, I get your Margarita's part of your
history too, brother, get yourself at Chaloupa. Huh. And if

Laker fans, happy Singo tomayo, everybody. We are talking about

It's September sixteenth, not fifteenth Luciento mucho?

Speaker 5 (21:32):
How cool is it that Lebron lined it up with
his Taco Tuesday that he started. That's pretty cool. Yes,
you know, some people can move things around, you know,
other peoples can't.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Some people are really connected to the Latin community like Lebron,
and others are not like me, but joining us right now,
sitting in the studio, which is a little awkward because
Matt and I are at home.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
Own. Hey, we'll be up there tomorrow. All right, Oh
you're here, I'm here right here. Don't be that way, Dave,
where are you up here? Where are you guys going
tonight for sinking demo? I understand a big holiday for
you guys, you two gringos. The last segment, don't make
me freaking battery yeast segment. I'm locked down.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
Dodger Baseball.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Okay, it's time for David Vasi the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Vass Report with David Vasse.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
It's gonna be taking a shot out of a wooden
Mexican shoe later on.

Speaker 5 (22:43):
That's where I'm going.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
I'm saving my I'm saving my party day for Sia
de Mayo, which is Thursday, with Alex Vesia Downy Hunday,
seventy five fifty Firestone Boulevard. We are going to have
a Mucho Donde fiesta on Thursday in Downy four to
five o'clock. Vessia will be there. We'll have Dodger talk

(23:08):
from there seven to eight pm. So that will be
the real fiesta of the week.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
That that is a great promotion, Dave. It's gonna be
a great time with Vesia at the dealership. And you're right,
there will be a great Latino support contingency there for you.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
We got a DJ, we got street dogs. I mean,
what screams see it to Demio more than that at
Downy Hunday.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
Hey, they were still having a party in Pueblo two
days after they drove the French away. Right, So enjoy yourself,
all right, Dave, otanis otanis Otani's gonna pitch tonight, but
he's not gonna hit again. Is this Is this the
plan for the rest of the year. Is it just
because his bat is so consaalo maybe? Or I don't know.

(23:57):
He's he walked, he did, he was productive at the
plate last night, right, So is this the plan going
forward and do you agree with it?

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Well, I'm not sure you guys caught this after the game,
but Dave Roberts said he decided this in the middle
of the game last night. The plan going into yesterday
was for Otani to do the two way thing where
he's dhing and pitching tonight, but Dave Roberts said he
just saw something that made him believe that it would

(24:26):
benefit O'tani not to hit tonight, and Dalton Rushing is
likely going to be the dh like he was the
last time this happened. But this is something the Dodgers
are going to have to read and react with the
rest of the year. Dave Roberts has said it, Andrew
Freeman told us this on the last homestand Joe Kelly

(24:46):
Mariachi Joe agree. He was on off day Dodger Talk
last Thursday said the same thing. But here's what I
would do if I'm the other Dave Dave Roberts, I'm
not having Otani. I'm not having Otani play tomorrow either.
What's one day going to do for a guy that

(25:06):
is in is underwater up to his hips at the
plate over his last seventeen one home run in his
last eighty four played appearances. Tomorrow's a day game after
a night game in Houston. He should not play tomorrow either.
There's a day off on Thursday unless Otani really wants
to come out to Downy Hunday. He's got a full

(25:27):
day off on Thursday and come back Friday to play
the Braves, the best team in baseball.

Speaker 5 (25:34):
Right now, why isn't he hitting? Dave?

Speaker 4 (25:38):
You know the one question, Matt that nobody has asked.
When Dave Roberts makes that proclamation last night in his office,
somebody asked him about whether or not this is mental fatigue? No,
why not ask him? Is there something physically wrong with
him where he can't hit? That would be the number

(25:58):
one question that nobody he has asked.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Well, but I mean what I mean?

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Pitching?

Speaker 3 (26:05):
My god, that's your whole body, right. If he's gonna
pitch there, he's gotta be okay.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
You would think so. But ever since he got hit
by a David Peterson fastball that first game of the
Mets series, he hasn't been the same guy. Interesting, all right, Dave, Oh,
peel back the onion Petros.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
I know it's hard.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
I am peeling back the onion. I'm just saying, you know, pitching,
pitching is a whole thing.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
We pull back that euro.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Hey, Hey, just because it's not three o'clock yet doesn't
mean you get to treat us like you treat everybody
else on the air. I'm sorry, No, It's okay. Dave
Grassies Maigo now d Nada overall. Who's the closest to

(26:53):
coming back? Mookie Betts is out freaking snell Zilla. It's
there's a it's an infirm where you got the loose
bodies all over the MLB. Who's the closest coming back?

Speaker 4 (27:03):
Well, Key k Hernandez and Bruce star Graderol shared a
flight to Oklahoma City. Key k is starting his first
rehab game tonight. He's starting at third base and he's
not eligible. As you guys know, he told you this
May twenty third, twenty fourth. A. Brox Stewart is in Houston.
Remember brock Stewart. He was the prized acquisition at the

(27:25):
trade deadline last year. He is likely to be activated
for tomorrow's game against the Astros, So they're getting a
boost to their bullpen with brox Stewart Tomorrow. Snelzilla is
going to pitch again on Friday, not sure where. And
then you got Bruce Star Graderol who is not pitched

(27:45):
in a professional game, minor league, rehab, major league since
Game five of the twenty four World Series. He just
made his first rehab start or rehab appearance two nights
ago for Oklahoma City. So these guys are coming back.
But Tommy Edmond may not return until middle of June
because his right ankle is still swelling up. It's not cooperating,

(28:09):
so I don't see him being activated before the end
of June.

Speaker 5 (28:13):
Should should we be excited Abrob rock Stewart, I mean
he was, I know, they traded for him and then
he like fell apart the moment they traded for him.
And it feels like bullpen's pretty good. I mean, like
for the most part, right, I mean, even Kyle hurt
and like he's pitching his ass off. I mean, it
doesn't necessarily feel like that's that's really an issue, right.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
It's not an issue. But your bullpen gets that much
better with brock Stewart, especially when you don't have Edwin Diaz.
Brock Stewart the last two years is one of the
best right handed relievers in getting right handed hitters out,
So it just helps you kind of take the load
off guys like Blake Trinan who's thirty seven years old,

(28:54):
and having Brock Stewart go into some of those high
leverage situations. I'm sorry, Matt, I know you're really emotionally
attached to Jake Eder, but he may not be around
much longer.

Speaker 5 (29:03):
Well, there you go, you've answered my follow up question.
I figured it'd be Eater. It's not. Kyle. I mean,
my god, Kyle Hurt's been the best guy down there.
I know, the leverage, you know, situations aren't there. It's
it's pretty easy pickings when it comes to stress when
he's going in. But he's allowed what one hit the
entire time he's been up, and the idea that you're
gonna boot that guy out I was wondering, just kind
of doesn't really make sense. As long as he's got
a hot hand.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
No, I mean, that's what they do. They go with
the hot hand. If there's a hot hand in the
minor leagues, they're able to use those innings in the
major leagues. But Kyle Hurt, you're right, has proven himself
and I'd love to see him in higher leverage situations
to see whether or not he's capable of being in
that spot, so he has earned a right to stay. Obviously,

(29:47):
there's a bigger picture in mind when it comes to
matchups and who's coming back or who they're facing in
the next week or so. So I still feel like
Kyle Hurts a part of this bullpen, especially with the
Dodgers having three lefties already in Tanner, Scott, Alex Vessia
and Jack Dryer, I feel like they can they can
handle not having Jake Eder in the bullpen for a

(30:10):
short period of time.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
David Vassy's on fire and he's joining us right now
on the Petrosen Money Show. He'll be part of Moroango Casino,
Dodgers on Deck, Dodger Clubhouse, Dodger Talk tonight, and then
all over again tomorrow starting at ten am before Matt
and I get back on the air. So plenty of
baseball coming up. I wanted to ask you this because

(30:34):
because Dalton Rushing is going to DH tonight right so
Otani is just gonna pitch. And it's interesting. Dalton Rushing
had that crazy week that he pissed everybody off. It
started when he said something was fishy, he slid into second.
He punched the Asian guy at the plate and said, fham.

(30:54):
He called the other guy a fat f He's fiery
when he plays, and all those things. We've talked for
many years, Dave about how this team has a very
calm demeanor and they don't emotionally burn themselves out, say
like the Padres. You've made that point in the past
to us, How does that match with this fiery, big

(31:17):
legged gentleman who's the DH tonight.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Yeah, some of the veterans have tried to talk to
him Petros to make him understand those type of things
do go viral and they don't benefit the team. He
had a reputation for being overly emotional in the minor leagues.
There was a lot of batracks in the PCL and
in Double A that were demolished by Dalton Russia. So

(31:44):
he's got to find a way to harness that and
being around these group of veterans will help him do that.
But you don't want to take away that edge. I
like his edge, and in a day and age where
everybody's so upset about how friendly everybody is with the
other players on other teams, I kind of like a
guy that just leaves the guy that was tagged out
at home sitting there and saying, hey.

Speaker 5 (32:04):
E Fitt speaking of rushing day before we let you go,
and again set your schedules. Thursday, alex Vesia, Dave gonna
be out at the Downy Downey hun Day. What are
the details again, Dave?

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Four to five o'clock. We're gonna have street dogs, We're
gonna have drinks, We're gonna have a DJ. We're gonna
have Alex Vessia from four to five o'clock and Downy
hun Days at seventy five point fifty Firestone Boulevard in
the city of Downey. So it's going to be not
just you know, a radio appearance by Alex Vessia. It's
going to be a party out there. It's a great experience. Yeah,

(32:40):
you should see the showroom. It's like a nightclub.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
Will you be doing the new celebration for Dodger hitters,
Barry glad you brought that up Petros and money like
high kick through the roof.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
That's a horrible celebration. Don't you think that's a bad celebration?

Speaker 5 (32:56):
The Freddy dance has grown stale.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
I agree, but you're telling me a kickout is, and
you know what the genesis of that is?

Speaker 5 (33:04):
All these I like the high kick through the roof, man,
I just don't want someone to pull a groin.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
Exactly exactly, you want thirty seven year old Freddie Freeman
her thirty seven year old Miguel Rojas to do that. Look,
And all these dumb bloggers and fan sites think that
it's because a Dulton rushing coming down the steps and
high kicking a little too close for comfort to Yamamoto's
hall like.

Speaker 5 (33:28):
A Crisp and Glover Dave Letterman situation.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
I can kick Dave.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
It has nothing to do with Dalton rushing. It's all about,
from what I was told by guys on the team,
It's about kicking out the bad vibes, which is even
more corny than I originally thought.

Speaker 5 (33:43):
Queue up the MC five, let's go.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
I'm a bad vibe.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
For God's sake, save won two World Series straight exactly.
There are no bad vibes. What the sickness that Fred
Rogan just heard about yesterday, that's been going on for
two weeks. There are no bad vibes.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Colin, you got sick because he can and handle vegas
I know m I heard you guys. He missed the
weigh in and now he got covid or flu whatever.
My brother Fredo runs this place. This girl has no family,
That's what happens. He's like a two year old that
his uh, his immune system hasn't been exposed to people

(34:20):
because he just comes to the studio. He hides in
his parents' house in all Hambra, and he never sees people.
He's never exposed to germs. He hasn't dirt bagged a
bunch of drinks like some people. Hello, all right, you Dave,
have a great night. Who's on the pregame show? Johnny
Johnny Law no long.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
Long neck pitching coach. Mark Pryor is going to join
us on Otani Day.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
I thought it was John Long my bad Mark Pryor
and his beard fight on. Well, join David Vese Grassius, Dave,
you guys enjoy your single Demio you too, Dave, stay thirsty.
My friend.

Speaker 5 (35:05):
The hell is going on?

Speaker 3 (35:09):
Sing it to mile Man. We're going to the cantina later.
We're all getting to yell yeah. Leslie from sales is driving,
Oh getting the cap? Do you want me? Going the car?

Speaker 5 (35:24):
Baja Cantina and Marina del Rey.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Let's go, Let's do it.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
Let's go to Baja Cantina.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
Really, I want to just go to the Chilis on Hawthorne.

Speaker 5 (35:35):
But okay, they have a great chicken, casadia, casadilla and nachos.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
We shall return with some fashionable one of the headlines.
Let's be honest, it's gonna be a one of the headlines.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
What Southern California's most listened to sports talk show this
Money on demand.

Speaker 5 (36:03):
Thank you to Dave Essay. He'll be along with Tim
at four for Dodger Talk. First pitch Otani on the mountain,
not hitting, as Dave just told us, not in the lineup.
Dalton Rushing will be the dho. Tani with the start
as the Dodgers looked to build on their Big eight
three victory last night, Yamamoto with the wind finally got
some run support. Nice to see. I'm sure there's a
certain someone that wish you would have saw it up

(36:23):
close and personal.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Well that's what I thought, you know. Stephen Nelson, our
friend and play by play man, gets upset when Yamamoto
does not get his run support, and last night there
was a plethora of runs scored and what can you say.
Stephen Nelson wasn't there. I was wrong. I thought Nelson

(36:46):
and he has done every game up to this point.
But it is Tim Neverett who does a great job,
of course, and Joe Davis an oral on glove, Grassis
and thank you for the extraceipt Happy Sinkle, DeMaio everybody,
and a big thank you to David Vasse. There is
a Laker game tonight. Hoops Talk with Alan Sleewall will

(37:08):
be tomorrow from eight to nine. There'll be an early
Dodger game with a ten am Marongo Casino Dodgers on
deck and like eleven to ten first pitch. So Matt
and I will be on after all that stuff and
we look forward to it. But right now we'll say
one of the headlines here, Matt, that's kind of our
fat I'll put you out.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
I will put you out. This is the flip top
story of the day.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
And last night, Matt, while Yamamoto was finally getting some
run support in Houston, one of our favorite events in
the world. The thing that most resembles the aristocracy in
The Hunger Games, which is a book Matt and I
were not as familiar with as our boss Don.

Speaker 5 (37:53):
Martin, you don't have to advertise at the idiots.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Our old boss Don Martin very unhappy that Matt and
I were not Tatnus head over heels for Catnus. She
doesn't die. They all, I mean, they all the idiot
These people all show up in New York at the
met Gala looking like Donald Sutherland in The Hunger Game.

Speaker 5 (38:13):
It's a period piece, Pece.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
It must be. It looks more and more like that
every year. But Matt, alas we are in the age
of the professional sports tunnel walk.

Speaker 5 (38:26):
Yeah, lass is the correct term.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
And this year the met Galla theme, which is basically
the same theme as it is every year.

Speaker 5 (38:34):
Fashion like an idiot.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Well, yes, but they but that's not how they put it, Matt.
They euthanized it and said fashion art. Fashion is art.
That's the theme. Fashion is art. And I do have
a list of the athletes. I've compiled a list of
the athletes that were in attendance because we are a

(38:57):
sports show deep.

Speaker 5 (38:59):
Down, right, Yeah, I guess this falls under the guise
of sports Talk, Great sports, right.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
These are the athletes that were there. Venus Williams of Compton,
a co chair of the event, she's about a head
taller than her husband.

Speaker 5 (39:18):
I would assume her sister as well.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
Right, I did not see the sister. Oh pretty sneaky scene.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
He usually goes yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
I used to think it was Aha Wilson like the
band uh take on me, But it's Asia Wilson spelled
in a very weird way.

Speaker 5 (39:37):
A apostrophe Ja correct Asia or Asia.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
She's from the Las Vegas Aces, right. She had kind
of like a baldhead scallywag look. Angel Reese was there
in a flowy pink bedspread like down with one of
her breasts almost exposed, despite her leg nearly falling off.

(40:05):
Lindsey Vaughan the skier was there.

Speaker 5 (40:07):
On crutches, on crutches her act.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
The crutches matched her outfit. She's not going to let
that leg falling off stop her. Matt Naomi Osaka wore
like a handmaiden's tail looking thing.

Speaker 5 (40:27):
Oh like the wacky hat.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
It was huge.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
She was just a gigantic ensemble. She's a former chair
a paralympian. Amy Mullins was there. She only has one leg.
I don't think they did anything to her leg other
than put it in a shoe. If you as your question, Matt,
I know that's what you were thinking, you know, be

(40:51):
dazzle her leg something like that.

Speaker 5 (40:54):
Probably underneath a giant dress or something.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Right, Yeah, not giant, because you know you only got
that one left.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
No, Joe Burrow was there dressed like a gay door
man at San Francisco's Saint Francis Hotel.

Speaker 5 (41:06):
He's a regular at the Nut.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
Justin. Jefferson, the receiver for Minnesota, was there and it's
a rascito with holes in it.

Speaker 5 (41:15):
Holes holes like, hey, the mob's got my tuxedo.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
I know that would be more like if a wolf
got your tuxih Okay. A lot of people thought Travis
Kelcey was there, but it was really the flamboyant British
singer Sam Smith. Kelsey was not in attendance. That was
Sam Smith, and a lot of people thought that that
was Travis Kelcey.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
It was not.

Speaker 5 (41:38):
And if I had to guess Sam Smith in a dress.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
He was in Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't even call that
a dress.

Speaker 5 (41:44):
It was more like, you know, I don't think like
a wizard's outfit or something.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
Kind of like a float, like a Rose Parade float. Okay,
losing her high star UCLA star from the Lakers Clippers
NBA MVP Russell Westbrook, who loves fashion, as Matt has said,
he was there shirtless in what looked like a jean
suit of well fitting jean suit.

Speaker 5 (42:09):
That doesn't sound too.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
It was like, well, it would be obnoxious, Like if
your friend showed up dressed like that, if Oka he
had no shirt.

Speaker 5 (42:20):
On, but he never has his shirt on.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
You know, well okay, but I mean it's still exactly,
but he would you'd still be not You're not going
to wear a shirt, You're just gonna have the jacket.
I mean that's pretty bold, but in terms of the
met ball, not really that bold. Russell Wilson was there
dressed a lot like Michael Jackson and Captain EO face.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
I saw him in the Savannah bananas and he looked
like he put on some serious poundage.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
Wide, He's very wide, and he had like it was
in like two Michael Jackson standing next to each other,
but still dressed like Captain.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
EO with the things on the shoulder.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
And of course Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian were there
understated appearance.

Speaker 5 (43:02):
Understand, May's so good to be here at the Met again.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
So that's what the special people were doing while the
rest of us soldiered on a glimpse from the Petroson
money show of high society.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (43:17):
I was watching the the at the Met the Nick
Sixers game, and they were discussing the merits of Timothy
Chella May letting Kylie go on her own while Ben
Stiller went to be with his wife at the Met
instead of courtside and their standards sitting spots during the
postseason to watch their beloved Nicks.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
That's the first thing I thought of, Yes, who's going?

Speaker 5 (43:38):
Are you guys going?

Speaker 3 (43:40):
Why isn't MSG right?

Speaker 5 (43:44):
What's the were Lindsay Vaughan's crutches like?

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (43:48):
Did they like match her out there?

Speaker 3 (43:52):
But I cannot say the same for the lady with
the fake legs let her prosthetic. Well, happy singingle tomorrow.
Will be right back with your word number song of
the Day.
