there all the time as your friendswaiting for you like IBS always prevalent,
incurtable boss indr. Yes, it'stime of the top story of the day,
top story of it. It's alla setup, That's what it is.
(01:55):
It's all a damn setup, allright? Is this sabotage? Fade
it compley? You and Bill Plashkitalking about Lebron signing with the Lakers.
Is there any chance they tell himto pound sand take your battitude elsewhere.
We're not giving you one hundred andsixty million. And what did Bill Plashki
say? It's a love my cousin, fata complin. It's that's what he
said. Well, guess what theextension for Lebron the hiring of JJ Reddick
(02:22):
is their next head coach. Fatefai t ac compley acc mp li French
term. You can't put it onthe board. That's what this is.
(02:42):
They think we're stupid news breaks orleaks or however you want to describe it.
Today that Mike Krzyzewski, the greatcoach k is advising the Lakers,
is acting as an advisor in theirhead coaching search. Uh. They can
bring in James Barrego, Man,I'm looking for a youth band. Could
(03:06):
you be an advisor? You knowwhat I can help you? Somebody else
something former head coach in Charlotte wasBarrego for four seasons, seven year assistant
under Greg Popovich. They can bringin longtime assistant Sam Kassel, but he's
basically Darvin Ham. Uh. Neverbeen in a big chair, a former
championship player that's been on the benchfor a decade plus, very likable.
(03:30):
Supposedly, Sam Cassell, like DarvinHam, would command the locker room,
earn respect for his prior playing career. Not to mention one thing Darvin Ham
didn't have. Now, Darvinham didhave the incredible hops and thunderous dunks,
but he did not have the bigballs celebration that Sam Kassell authored and was
(03:51):
the rage of the NBA for years. It was authored by the Asian outfielder
and Major League two. There isthat and and then brought to the NBA
by saying, but you're right.I mean, you know, I just
I wanted to mention that guy.Yes, but you're right, he does
not have the bit. Darvenham wasshot, but he did not have the
(04:11):
big ball celebration. He did not. Sam's been coaching since two thousand and
nine. You know, I wasn'tgoing to let him draw on the grease
board. But then I thought abouthow he admitted that big, big ball
celebration, and I said, hereit is, you draw the play.
But guess what, Sam Cassell isnot Lebron James preferred Canada. No,
that would be his podcast partner.That would be one connoisseur JJ Reddick.
(04:38):
That is who Lebron wants and thatis who Lebron is going to get.
They have turned the franchise over toLebron. They have not just thrown him
the keys. They have handed overthe deed, the deed to the home.
And just so you know, theirpodcast is a serious basketball podcast.
Yeah, I did need to bechecked on that. It's it's an X's
(05:00):
and O's podcast. Okay, hardthat's what it is. Yeah, those
guys are talking hardcore basketball, okay, as opposed to like like the All
That Smoke was that more lighthearted?I think that's a little more personality driven
to all that, Like the gillArenas podcast is very personality driven. On
the Lebron JJ Reddick podcast recently thatthey were talking about, uh, Lebron
(05:23):
was trying to say that he playsa lot of chess, yes, but
then he said not really though,but I think about chess. It's like
what you either play chess or youdo what you say. I think he's
trying to use these is that hardcorebasketball? You guys play checkers. I'm
over here playing chess. Feels thatway, Matt. When you control the
media, when you control the mediawith as they call it, the black
(05:46):
hand, it's a serious podcast thoughat hardcore. Okay, thanks, Okay,
give it to me Byron. So, as far as I'm concerned,
podcast is an X's and O's pod. Yeah, so they're talking real hardcore
basketball, go ahead, yeah,okay, okay, hardcore big bombshell today
(06:09):
was Coach k shams Booja. Theybroke it. Skrzyszewski team USA coach that
won gold in eight, twelve andsixteen, teams that happen to have Lebron
James being coached up by coach K. Just stop the charade already, we
(06:30):
mascarade. We don't need it.It is all for a paper faces on
parade. I'll kay, I'm tiredof it. Just stop the charade.
We stop. We're not idiots.I am not dowdy. Coach K's ability
to identify what would potentially be agreat coach. But if Rob Polinka has
(06:54):
been so bad at hiring coaches andyou're asking him to hire his third and
five years, maybe just fire him. Maybe just fire him. If you
can't trust him to hire a coachhis third in five years, then maybe
you fire him and you get somebodyin that chair that can do that job.
So you don't have to pay MikeSkryzhevsky a half a million dollars to
(07:18):
be the face of JJ Reddick gettinghired as your head coach, because that's
what Lebron James told you he wantsyou to do. It is something that
is mentioned in this space regularly youoften point out bron James can't handle not
being on the spotlight. No,he well, Matt, you know,
he was out there for good reason. He's out there in Allow for great
(07:42):
is that you know what? Letme just say this, Just play it,
just play it. The reason Lebronwas in Cleveland was because he and
Savannah were there for Mother's Day beingtheir mothers. A coincides with with it
ding a day later, and hewent and Rich Paul, who was also
at the Gay represents several cavaliers,all the Lakers, and said, just
(08:03):
so you know, Lebron is goingto be coming to the game tonight,
so that they weren't surprised. Havingsaid obviously, since the end of the
season, Lebron has sent several likesort of interesting messages, his non comment
on the Lakers going forward, hiscomments on podcasts on social media. But
he doesn't know what to do.And now he comes to this game,
which he knows is going to beon this show no matter what he says,
(08:26):
he knows what's going to be onfirst day. He knows as that's
going on in Chicago yesterday, BronniJames has his first day of the NBA
Draft combine and he does very well. One of the best shooters at the
combine finished second in the three pointshooting room, which is not something we
expected to see. Also, heshows up measures in at two hundred and
(08:48):
ten pounds. That's ten to fifteenpounds heavier than he played the USC and
he looks great now. He didmeasure at six one and a half.
That is less than he was listedat at USC at six extreet, which
isn't stunning. Nobody really thought hewas six to three. But Bronni is
trending, I think towards getting drafted. Can you imagine packing that much Lebron
(09:11):
propaganda and at that finite of awindow, that is incredible. That'll fill
your rectum. I mean that'll fillevery orifice, every not just your rectum,
your ear canals, your nostrils,obviously, your mouth, your urethra
is packed. The amount of propagandahe pushed in that small window of time
(09:37):
is one of the most incredible featsI have ever witnessed. Now I wanted
to share it. How does helook in the mirror? This is why
I'm here. If I don't havethe relationship I have with Lebron, I
do not have this job that paysme millions of dollars a year. It's
the only reason I am here.Because I'm just another guy, another kid
(10:01):
from Akron that came up with lebronat Saint Vincent, Saint Mary. So
I have to pedal his propaganda.And if I get a little mess on
my face from time to time,then so be it. I gotta wear
that. I gotta wear that messon my face. I can't even wipe
it off, just right there onthe corner of my mouth. That Bronnie
(10:22):
was very good fit. He finishedsecond in the three second in the what
you sound Like You're his mom?Second in the He was great, and
his measurements came in. Of course, he was there with Savannah to see
their methods. Yes, that startswith what a great son? What a
great son? So he went tothe game because he can't stand nobody paying
attention to him. So he wantedto go somewhe where everybody's gonna clap for
(10:45):
him. Imagine if I went toChicago to visit my parents and then I
showed up on like the score sixseventies afternoon drive show. Hey guys,
just here to do a couple hoursof radio you know, just kind of
watch you guys do your work.I just want to see what you are
doing. So I'm here to seea poet you called Don Martin, though,
make sure I would call down here, Donad. I'm gonna go see
Mitch Rosen at six seventy to scoreright boom. I just want to go
(11:11):
see him because I love radio.I love radio radio junkie. I just
I'm a radio junkie. I justwant to go see what it's like.
I want to go watch those guysdo their show, you know. So
that's what I came here to seemy parents. But what I wanted to
do was, you know, justgo catch a little radio. I hate.
I don't want to be a prisonerof the moment. But we've been
going through this for a while sincethe kid played high school around here.
(11:31):
This is one of the great abusesof power of a brand. It is.
And because this is like, noone would care if somebody wanted to
make Brownie a coach, right,like JB. Bickerstaff as a coach,
because Bernie Bickerstaff is a coach,right, no one would be like,
you know, look at Nate Hackett, look at Brennan Carroll, like that
happens all the time. You don'tput your kid in a freaking league exactly.
(11:54):
I'm fine with nepotism. I haveno problem with people trying to open
doors for their This is unreal.It's what we do now. This this
McDonald's all American spots being taken,combined spots being taken, ball washing media
demanding your kid be drafted in orderfor you to re sign with a current
team. This is a running jokeamongst NBA executives. This is nobody wants
(12:18):
to pick up the phone when RichPaul calls. It's just like all those
all those basketball coaches that didn't wantPhil Knight and lebron James to call him
and tell him that Bronni's gonna comeand you're gonna get fired for that.
And the Enfield this is Oh,they're there. I would assume they're very
happy that Bronni has decided to leavethe USC basketball program. One the Muscolo
(12:41):
might not have wanted him back.They I don't believe they did. Yeah.
Uh and low impact, low impactplayer, sorry, low impact player
at Sierra Canyon, low impact playerat USC. And yet you have to
Nepotism's one thing and I get itagain, it's fine whatever, We would
(13:03):
all do it to try to helpour kids out ultimatums demands. That's a
different that's a different level. Tosuggest you're going to draft Bronnie. Well,
yeah, but he's ranked like numberseventy eight on our board and they
only have sixty three draft you're gonnadraft them. You're going to report a
(13:24):
story that he did very very good. Yeah. It reminds me of the
Godfather Won when Michael Corleone is turningand he goes, we have people on
our payroll in the newspapers, don'twe They might like a story like that.
Yeah, yeah, might so.Again to hit the talking points from
this morning, lebron is still outhere, lebron is not happy. Bronnie
(13:45):
had a very very good day atthe combine, well yesterday and then what
happened, and then what happened himnineteen plus a minutes today, Matt for
Team Saint andrews Now, if youmissed it, this happened. This broke
live in our opening segment when wewere discussing Vic the brick suggesting Bronnie is
(14:07):
an underdog, and Bronni had anincredible display of shooting at the first day
of the combine, operating at halfspeed, so slow that Johnny Hecker had
to weigh in, and we say, yeah, this news went up,
dude, this news went over likea crucifix and a mosque with Vick.
First scrimmage of the combine, TeamSaint Andrews versus Team Foreign Kelly. Team
(14:31):
Foreign Kelly and Team St. Andrewswon eighty nine eighty one. Starting at
guard was number fifty Bronnie James.He played nineteen. He was the leading
scorer of either team. Antonio Reevesand Baylor Schierman each had seventeen points to
lead San Andrews and to lead allscores. Okay, so seventeen was your
leading scorer and that was not Bronnie, No jt topping you know the name.
(14:54):
He had eleven points on five ofeleven shooting. Our friend of dem
Bona from UCLA got the started centerfor Team San Andrews had six points and
fouled out. Okay, in nineteenplus minutes. And now we've got the
Brownie James line. Now we gota little start James Junior. He started
at guard along with A. J. Johnson, Number fifty Brownie James nineteen
minutes and forty seconds. He wastwo of eight shooting from the floor,
(15:18):
oh of four from beyond the arc. Three rebounds on the defensive end,
one on the offensive end for fourrebounds, zero assists, three turnovers for
four points total. Oh so,what you're telling me is when you saunter
around a three point line at abouttwenty percent game speed and go twelve for
(15:43):
twelve, Brian Windhorst is going togo on ESPN, the sport flagship in
the country in which we live,and celebrate your day at the combine for
weigne in at two hundred and tenpounds as we just heard and shooting twelve
for finishing second in the three pointcontest. What do we think he's going
to do tomorrow is he is hegoing to cover this? Is he going
(16:07):
to cover this story that in agame setting No. No. Nineteen minutes,
two for eight, We're gonna go. We're going to get back to
the narrative that OKC has taken controlof the series. I got a feeling
Bronnie James won't be mentioned tomorrow fromBrian windhors Oh. No neck on the
on the Get up show. Therethe zero for four zero assists, three
(16:27):
turnovers, four point effort won't bementioned. Find your neck through ozempic.
One of the two field goals thatBronny made was this floater in the lane.
Oh sweet, that he must haveput up about twenty feet in the
air and came down and made it. And it kind of surprised everybody that
he made it. Nice soft touchthere by Bronnie James for two of his
(16:47):
four points. Great around the basket, eight shots, four points. That
is efficiency. Oh yeah, thereyou go. Kate's pulling it up for
us. We have raged against thepropaganda machine quite a bit today. Will
look that floater mass beautiful floater.Well play that highlight. I think he
actually carried the ball before he thoughtwhat are we doing now, which is
(17:10):
why the defense was caught flat footed. Thanks a lot, Dick Bavetta.
They didn't call it there. Niceleft hand dribbles, switch to the right
hand floater good two for eight fourpoints, zero assists at six foot one
playing point guard, three turnovers,And that was your top story of the
day. Lebron James feel better,Yeah, both of his shots were floaters
(17:30):
in the lake. Nice. TheMeglomania continues with lebron the King and his
son Bronni, the Prince of Wales, and we'll be right back with the
David vass Report featuring David Vassa livein San Francisco. Dodgers tonight, first
pitch against the Giants at six fortyfive, Same schedule tomorrow, So remember
(17:52):
PMS once again on a flex alert. My wife, They're not happy.
Scholler two pm to five thirty againtomorrow. Joining us right now on the
Southern California Toyo to do the celebrityhotline. It's time for David Vasselm of
the Dodgers with an inside look atthe Dodgers. This is the Vassi Report
(18:19):
with David Vase just as vulnerable asany of the victims of the Dirty Hairy
Movies or the Zodiac Killer in SanFrancisco walking around late at night, David
vasse braving it all for you,the Dodger fan, Dodger Talk tonight,
Dodger Talk every night, Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck, our Dodger Reporter,
(18:40):
MLB Network and of course Spectrum Sportsnetas well at the Real Underscore dv
How's it going up there? Davidseemed like a actually pretty friendly Dodger crowd
there last night. Yeah, itwas not a hostile environment as it has
been back in twenty twelve or twentyfourteen. Giants fans seemed to have sold
their tickets to Dodger fans that werewilling to pay steep prices. There were
(19:06):
thirty five thousand at Oracle Park lastnight and it was my guestimation seventy thirty
Dodger fans beat La chants were veryfaint and completely drowned and dominated by the
let's go Dodger chance from the Dodgerfaithful that made the track up here.
(19:29):
Two part question Dave one, isour friend far Han Ziety still employed?
In two? If he is,is he going to be fired imminently due
to a seventy percent Dodger fan takeoverof Oracle Park? Well, yes,
he's still in charge. He triedto throw San Francisco money at these free
agents and was not successful again.As Yamamoto and Otani signed with the Dodgers,
(19:55):
he was able to sign multiple ScottBoris clients, Matt Chapman who hitting
two twelve, Jung Hu Lee whoseparated his shoulder two days ago, and
Blake Snell, who is on theil. So it's been a tough road
for the Giants so far this year. And yeah, I would say his
job definitely is not as secure asit was two years ago. What was
(20:17):
going on with Yamamoto last night?Well, he just didn't have a good
secondary stuff. His turnball which gothit by Luis Mattos was a hangar up
in the zone, and he justdidn't have great command. When he doesn't
have great command, it's going tobe a rough night. But he competed.
I think that's the one thing weall appreciate from Yamamoto. He's not
just folding. He's competing even withouthis best stuff. The Great David Vsse
(20:42):
is our guest. He took along walk around the Bay Area today,
the wharf to bridge walk. Ibelieve he did Dave and survive. Would
you like to detail that? Yeah, you know, I went through Golden
Gate Park. You know, didnot get run over by any biker that
wanted to dominate the sidewalk path anddefinitely a great walk with Jack Harris from
(21:06):
the La Times and Juan Terribio fromDodgers dot Com. So three guys walk
in to the Golden Gate Bridge,did you well up here in San Francisco,
did you guys discuss, as youphilosophized and reasoned on your walk,
did you talk about Will Smith breakingout of his comedy club slump? We
actually talked about the very poor answersby Will Smith after the game more than
(21:30):
him breaking out of his slump.Tetross. He does seem like an unlikely
candidate for a comedy club type.No, very much so. Cedric the
entertainer was much needed as the cohost of that Netflix is a joke at
the orphe him and yeah, cominginto the game last night, he was
oh for his last seventeen. Hemade outs in his first two or three
(21:52):
at match, was OH for twentyas you tweeted out and came up with
a basit in the eighth inning.And the way Jose Motives said was that
Fernando Vealezuela, when Will Smith cameto the plate in the tenth inning,
believe that base hit in the eighthinning gave him the confidence that he was
back on track. So it canhappen within the game. And look,
(22:14):
you know, for a team thatmatches up that was a really bad matchup
where you have a lefty on themound facing Will Smith, who is now
hitting four to twenty nine against leftiesthis year. That is not the ideal
matchup for Farhan ball. Also notan ideal matchup Dave inserting a pinch runner
and then watching aforementioned substitution get pickedoff by Blake Trinin and a look of
(22:41):
disbelief on the manager. How manytimes in all the years that you've been
covering baseball can you think of thata pitch runner was put into the game
and then picked off damn near immediately. Well, let's put that into context.
The Giants have had a lot ofinjuries and obviously they're is not as
deep as the Dodgers. That kidthat got picked off at first base as
(23:03):
a pinch runner was just called up, so he's essentially a Sacramento River Cat
and saw Blake Trinon's best pickoff move, so he got taken to school very
quickly. Education cut him some slat. Yeah, that's all about education,
Like Ron Washington select those river Cats. David Vasse is our guest. We're
always happy to be talking to him. The Stone, Gavin Stone, Come
(23:29):
on, I just like say it. You know we got a big warning
stone, do it? Gavin Stonethe Stone bowner. Come on, yeah
with Gavin Stone, who is astate champion tennis player in Arkansas. He
let me know he beat his ownbrother in the state championships in Arkansas and
high school. He beat off hisown brother. Yep, Hey, I
(23:51):
heard mister irrelevant, not the profarguy, but the other mister irrelevance thrown
out the first pitch that Dave.Oh yeah, the game manager brock Per,
he'll be out there today. Hey, hey, Giants fans, look
over here, here's Rock Purty.Don't look at our record and all the
Dodger fans over here. Oh,Dave is living his best life right now.
It's a bad scene up there forthe Giants. I'm Dave. They're
really suffering and you're really enjoying it. You're really reaping all the benefits.
(24:17):
I really am. I really am, because look these fans up here,
the wine and cheese fans in theBay Area, they're insufferable when they have
success. And you know, asyou know, Matt covering the NFL,
I'm sure you're very well aware thatRock Party's got a noodle arm and couldn't
throw past thirty yards. So Ifeel like this first pitch We'll see whether
(24:37):
or not Purty goes on the moundfor this first pick or he's on the
dirt. Wow, Dad, shootingparty's got to wear it too, Hey,
Dave, I'm looking at the TimKates Colin Ye baseball card wall I
looked at Oh yeah, I waslooking at it a little bit earlier.
If if you were offered, let'ssay, fifty bucks for a Gavin Stone
(25:00):
rookie card right now, coming offback to back to back one run allowed
outings, would you take that orwould you ride it out the rest of
the season, the rest of theseason or his career the rest of the
season. You gotta well, Imean career. I don't know if I
want to hold onto this thing forthe next ten dollars or something. I'm
talking about, like, hey,do I want my money now and I'm
(25:22):
going to take the bird in thehand or am I going to take the
toy? Dave? I just turnedsixty. Remember that thing we were talking
about, Like Kevin's I'd sell itafter tonight's game when he shoves against the
Sacramento river Cats. There we go, Hey, if you're selling that card,
what a slight Jesus salty, Davidvassay, he's in a good salty
but in the direction of the SanFranciscans. He felt that salty bay water
(25:45):
when he was walking around Golden GatePark. All right, Dave, have
a great night tonight, be safeout there, and we'll talk to you
soon. All right, guys,Thanks Dodgers versus Giants Dodgers dah thirty But
Tim Kats six forty five, firstpitch. I'll tell you Colin Yee and
his father, Giants fans to thebone, are not going to be excited
(26:07):
about that at all. What acouple of losers. His father should be
ashamed of himself. He really shouldmaking his son a freaking Giants fan.
Hey, mister Yee, you idiot, you think that's honorable? Is it
still gad Copler's fault up in SanFrancisco? This mess? You don't blame
it there anymore? M Florida capeler, Florida's his fault, strutting around fault?
(26:29):
Yes, what about bones over therestrutting around? Huh? What about
Bomel He didn't have to wear anyof this. Huh? No, who
wants me back on the air?Shure I hand, okay, we'll be
back show of hand with your deadand a live guy Birthday of the day.

a little neats world the running inplace. Uh. He moved to Canada
when he was two with the family. Uh not because his father, who
was an engineer, are you yeshe was, and he was landed a
(31:25):
job out there. But he saidit was also because the spot got hot
pops Catholic, mom Protestant and inthe early fifties no bueno inter faith marriages.
So they moved to Canada. Whenhe was eight, they moved to
the States Maryland as his dad landedan engineering job now at Westinghouse. Uh
(31:45):
Burne said, At that moment,he still had his Scottish accent, but
he was bullied by those great schoolersin Baltimore. You mean Baltimoreans, They
sprinkle Bay into the sea. Headopted an American accent and that was that.
A musical prodigy. As a weelad mastered the harmonica by five,
(32:07):
guitar, violin and accordion by nine. Auditioned for the middle school choir,
but again those Baltimorean bullies said,you sing off key. He was like,
I don't think I sing off key. Like, nah, you're singing
off key. So no choir forhim. He went to the Rhode Island
(32:28):
School of Design the Maryland Institute Collegeof Art started and ended a few bands,
Pizzatti the Artistics with future Talking Headsco founder Chris Franz, but neither
caught on, so the pair movedto New York City. Chris brought his
lady friend Tina along and U Tina. The three of them all lived in
(32:50):
the same abode in the big town. They worked odd jobs during the day,
they practiced music at night, andbecause they couldn't find a bass player,
Chris suggested that Tina learned to playbass so they could have you know
better jam sessions? She did,and Burne insisted she joined the band.
Said she did not want to,but he said, no, you're joining
the band. She didn't like himvery much. Now no, it went
(33:13):
sideways. But you know what talkingHeads first day as a couple, they've
teamed up emotionally against Bern and hishis Asperger's face there is that he is
on the spectrum self. Admittedly theband called talking Heads from a description in
the TV guide first gig ever openingfor the Ramones at CBGB's on June fifth,
(33:34):
nineteen seventy five. First gig,CBS was immediately interested, paid for
their demos, but passed. SeymourStein and Sired did not. First album
had Psycho Killer often running no problemwith the follow up. Eno produced their
next three, including that one TakeMe to the River, next up Fear
of Music Life during Wartime, anotherhit, this one Remaining Light in nineteen
(33:58):
eighty had Once in a Lifetime livealbum that went platinum, and then Speaking
in Tongues of Course launched them intoMTV superstardom with Burning Down the House and
This Must Be the Place one ofthe all time great songs Ever Been and
Oh Tony's got a big suit.He does. The concert film Stopped Making
(34:19):
Sense is quite possibly one of it'squite possibly the greatest live music movie ever.
It is awesome. Jonathan Demi Pantagiousfour Nights. If you take nothing
else away from David Burne's birthday,do yourself a favor and go watch Stop
Making Sense turns out. Back then, people knew how to perform. They
(34:40):
weren't just playing their music live.They took it as a performance that you
were paying for, and they wouldthen perform for you instead of just play
music live. Hi Kicks, LittleCreatures in eighty five had Road to Nowhere
and she was Stay up Late Allhits, True Stories had Wildlife. Hard
to write a hit, but theTalking Heads managed to do it every single
(35:04):
release. They broke up in ninetyone, officially pretty much toast. In
eighty eight, they didn't like Burnput out solo record, put it to
Burn too, and they did theTom Tom Club. They did. He
wasn't emotionally unaffected because he's you know, doesn't really inspect me to say I
am on the spectrum. Said ithas been a benefit and also occurs Afro
(35:25):
Cube and he got into he mademovies true Stories, which he directed and
started. Not a fan. Hehowever, Vic would approve of this,
but she didn't like that sweet poster. Though the sweet poster is say true
Stories would make an appearance in acollege dorm room here and there. He
did the theme to The Last Emperorwith Rucci Sakamoto and they won an Oscar
(35:47):
together for that. Oh, Ithought it was for the Golden Chilow Eddie
Murphy. Oh, I've heard itboth ways. He did the soundtrack to
Big Love, produced a Broadway playAmerican Utopian twenty nineteen. He co wrote
the song this is a Life forEverything everywhere all at once, performed that
at the Oscars. Call Alex Faustreference Yes, married once. We're like,
(36:08):
what's that daughter divorced? No onthe spectrum, oh that, self
admitted. All I said was thathusband and Bassis the drunk. When your
rhythm section hates you, it's hardto keep the beard. He said,
he's on the spectrum. They hatehim. I don't know if they hate
(36:28):
him. They did, They didhave a bit of a I don't know,
man. I watched her doc.Yeah, look it was a hell
of a great twenty years. Hey, look, hell of a twenty years.
Looks what they did to Look whatthey did to Felder, exactly right,
you know, And he's not onteen and Chris or five. I
don't think Felder's on the compound ClubFelt five. Felder's very emotional. I
don't think he's on the set Happyseventy second to the great Go Watch Stop
(36:52):
Making Sense David Burr, I poureda beer on his head. That's what
the Garry Brown. They should dothe David Byrne knees, you know,
really pinch your boots and shake thoseknees like he did on Stop Making Sense.
Oh as a dance as their secondbase dance whenever they get a hit.
Pretty close to that right now,it really is. We'll be back
(37:13):
with your final hour fun fact andyour quick hits. Thanks for listening to

incurtable boss indr. Yes, it'stime of the top story of the day,
top story of it. It's alla setup, That's what it is.
(01:55):
It's all a damn setup, allright? Is this sabotage? Fade
it compley? You and Bill Plashkitalking about Lebron signing with the Lakers.
Is there any chance they tell himto pound sand take your battitude elsewhere.
We're not giving you one hundred andsixty million. And what did Bill Plashki
say? It's a love my cousin, fata complin. It's that's what he
said. Well, guess what theextension for Lebron the hiring of JJ Reddick
(02:22):
is their next head coach. Fatefai t ac compley acc mp li French
term. You can't put it onthe board. That's what this is.
(02:42):
They think we're stupid news breaks orleaks or however you want to describe it.
Today that Mike Krzyzewski, the greatcoach k is advising the Lakers,
is acting as an advisor in theirhead coaching search. Uh. They can
bring in James Barrego, Man,I'm looking for a youth band. Could
(03:06):
you be an advisor? You knowwhat I can help you? Somebody else
something former head coach in Charlotte wasBarrego for four seasons, seven year assistant
under Greg Popovich. They can bringin longtime assistant Sam Kassel, but he's
basically Darvin Ham. Uh. Neverbeen in a big chair, a former
championship player that's been on the benchfor a decade plus, very likable.
(03:30):
Supposedly, Sam Cassell, like DarvinHam, would command the locker room,
earn respect for his prior playing career. Not to mention one thing Darvin Ham
didn't have. Now, Darvinham didhave the incredible hops and thunderous dunks,
but he did not have the bigballs celebration that Sam Kassell authored and was
(03:51):
the rage of the NBA for years. It was authored by the Asian outfielder
and Major League two. There isthat and and then brought to the NBA
by saying, but you're right.I mean, you know, I just
I wanted to mention that guy.Yes, but you're right, he does
not have the bit. Darvenham wasshot, but he did not have the
(04:11):
big ball celebration. He did not. Sam's been coaching since two thousand and
nine. You know, I wasn'tgoing to let him draw on the grease
board. But then I thought abouthow he admitted that big, big ball
celebration, and I said, hereit is, you draw the play.
But guess what, Sam Cassell isnot Lebron James preferred Canada. No,
that would be his podcast partner.That would be one connoisseur JJ Reddick.
(04:38):
That is who Lebron wants and thatis who Lebron is going to get.
They have turned the franchise over toLebron. They have not just thrown him
the keys. They have handed overthe deed, the deed to the home.
And just so you know, theirpodcast is a serious basketball podcast.
Yeah, I did need to bechecked on that. It's it's an X's
(05:00):
and O's podcast. Okay, hardthat's what it is. Yeah, those
guys are talking hardcore basketball, okay, as opposed to like like the All
That Smoke was that more lighthearted?I think that's a little more personality driven
to all that, Like the gillArenas podcast is very personality driven. On
the Lebron JJ Reddick podcast recently thatthey were talking about, uh, Lebron
(05:23):
was trying to say that he playsa lot of chess, yes, but
then he said not really though,but I think about chess. It's like
what you either play chess or youdo what you say. I think he's
trying to use these is that hardcorebasketball? You guys play checkers. I'm
over here playing chess. Feels thatway, Matt. When you control the
media, when you control the mediawith as they call it, the black
(05:46):
hand, it's a serious podcast thoughat hardcore. Okay, thanks, Okay,
give it to me Byron. So, as far as I'm concerned,
podcast is an X's and O's pod. Yeah, so they're talking real hardcore
basketball, go ahead, yeah,okay, okay, hardcore big bombshell today
(06:09):
was Coach k shams Booja. Theybroke it. Skrzyszewski team USA coach that
won gold in eight, twelve andsixteen, teams that happen to have Lebron
James being coached up by coach K. Just stop the charade already, we
(06:30):
mascarade. We don't need it.It is all for a paper faces on
parade. I'll kay, I'm tiredof it. Just stop the charade.
We stop. We're not idiots.I am not dowdy. Coach K's ability
to identify what would potentially be agreat coach. But if Rob Polinka has
(06:54):
been so bad at hiring coaches andyou're asking him to hire his third and
five years, maybe just fire him. Maybe just fire him. If you
can't trust him to hire a coachhis third in five years, then maybe
you fire him and you get somebodyin that chair that can do that job.
So you don't have to pay MikeSkryzhevsky a half a million dollars to
(07:18):
be the face of JJ Reddick gettinghired as your head coach, because that's
what Lebron James told you he wantsyou to do. It is something that
is mentioned in this space regularly youoften point out bron James can't handle not
being on the spotlight. No,he well, Matt, you know,
he was out there for good reason. He's out there in Allow for great
(07:42):
is that you know what? Letme just say this, Just play it,
just play it. The reason Lebronwas in Cleveland was because he and
Savannah were there for Mother's Day beingtheir mothers. A coincides with with it
ding a day later, and hewent and Rich Paul, who was also
at the Gay represents several cavaliers,all the Lakers, and said, just
(08:03):
so you know, Lebron is goingto be coming to the game tonight,
so that they weren't surprised. Havingsaid obviously, since the end of the
season, Lebron has sent several likesort of interesting messages, his non comment
on the Lakers going forward, hiscomments on podcasts on social media. But
he doesn't know what to do.And now he comes to this game,
which he knows is going to beon this show no matter what he says,
(08:26):
he knows what's going to be onfirst day. He knows as that's
going on in Chicago yesterday, BronniJames has his first day of the NBA
Draft combine and he does very well. One of the best shooters at the
combine finished second in the three pointshooting room, which is not something we
expected to see. Also, heshows up measures in at two hundred and
(08:48):
ten pounds. That's ten to fifteenpounds heavier than he played the USC and
he looks great now. He didmeasure at six one and a half.
That is less than he was listedat at USC at six extreet, which
isn't stunning. Nobody really thought hewas six to three. But Bronni is
trending, I think towards getting drafted. Can you imagine packing that much Lebron
(09:11):
propaganda and at that finite of awindow, that is incredible. That'll fill
your rectum. I mean that'll fillevery orifice, every not just your rectum,
your ear canals, your nostrils,obviously, your mouth, your urethra
is packed. The amount of propagandahe pushed in that small window of time
(09:37):
is one of the most incredible featsI have ever witnessed. Now I wanted
to share it. How does helook in the mirror? This is why
I'm here. If I don't havethe relationship I have with Lebron, I
do not have this job that paysme millions of dollars a year. It's
the only reason I am here.Because I'm just another guy, another kid
(10:01):
from Akron that came up with lebronat Saint Vincent, Saint Mary. So
I have to pedal his propaganda.And if I get a little mess on
my face from time to time,then so be it. I gotta wear
that. I gotta wear that messon my face. I can't even wipe
it off, just right there onthe corner of my mouth. That Bronnie
(10:22):
was very good fit. He finishedsecond in the three second in the what
you sound Like You're his mom?Second in the He was great, and
his measurements came in. Of course, he was there with Savannah to see
their methods. Yes, that startswith what a great son? What a
great son? So he went tothe game because he can't stand nobody paying
attention to him. So he wantedto go somewhe where everybody's gonna clap for
(10:45):
him. Imagine if I went toChicago to visit my parents and then I
showed up on like the score sixseventies afternoon drive show. Hey guys,
just here to do a couple hoursof radio you know, just kind of
watch you guys do your work.I just want to see what you are
doing. So I'm here to seea poet you called Don Martin, though,
make sure I would call down here, Donad. I'm gonna go see
Mitch Rosen at six seventy to scoreright boom. I just want to go
(11:11):
see him because I love radio.I love radio radio junkie. I just
I'm a radio junkie. I justwant to go see what it's like.
I want to go watch those guysdo their show, you know. So
that's what I came here to seemy parents. But what I wanted to
do was, you know, justgo catch a little radio. I hate.
I don't want to be a prisonerof the moment. But we've been
going through this for a while sincethe kid played high school around here.
(11:31):
This is one of the great abusesof power of a brand. It is.
And because this is like, noone would care if somebody wanted to
make Brownie a coach, right,like JB. Bickerstaff as a coach,
because Bernie Bickerstaff is a coach,right, no one would be like,
you know, look at Nate Hackett, look at Brennan Carroll, like that
happens all the time. You don'tput your kid in a freaking league exactly.
(11:54):
I'm fine with nepotism. I haveno problem with people trying to open
doors for their This is unreal.It's what we do now. This this
McDonald's all American spots being taken,combined spots being taken, ball washing media
demanding your kid be drafted in orderfor you to re sign with a current
team. This is a running jokeamongst NBA executives. This is nobody wants
(12:18):
to pick up the phone when RichPaul calls. It's just like all those
all those basketball coaches that didn't wantPhil Knight and lebron James to call him
and tell him that Bronni's gonna comeand you're gonna get fired for that.
And the Enfield this is Oh,they're there. I would assume they're very
happy that Bronni has decided to leavethe USC basketball program. One the Muscolo
(12:41):
might not have wanted him back.They I don't believe they did. Yeah.
Uh and low impact, low impactplayer, sorry, low impact player
at Sierra Canyon, low impact playerat USC. And yet you have to
Nepotism's one thing and I get itagain, it's fine whatever, We would
(13:03):
all do it to try to helpour kids out ultimatums demands. That's a
different that's a different level. Tosuggest you're going to draft Bronnie. Well,
yeah, but he's ranked like numberseventy eight on our board and they
only have sixty three draft you're gonnadraft them. You're going to report a
(13:24):
story that he did very very good. Yeah. It reminds me of the
Godfather Won when Michael Corleone is turningand he goes, we have people on
our payroll in the newspapers, don'twe They might like a story like that.
Yeah, yeah, might so.Again to hit the talking points from
this morning, lebron is still outhere, lebron is not happy. Bronnie
(13:45):
had a very very good day atthe combine, well yesterday and then what
happened, and then what happened himnineteen plus a minutes today, Matt for
Team Saint andrews Now, if youmissed it, this happened. This broke
live in our opening segment when wewere discussing Vic the brick suggesting Bronnie is
(14:07):
an underdog, and Bronni had anincredible display of shooting at the first day
of the combine, operating at halfspeed, so slow that Johnny Hecker had
to weigh in, and we say, yeah, this news went up,
dude, this news went over likea crucifix and a mosque with Vick.
First scrimmage of the combine, TeamSaint Andrews versus Team Foreign Kelly. Team
(14:31):
Foreign Kelly and Team St. Andrewswon eighty nine eighty one. Starting at
guard was number fifty Bronnie James.He played nineteen. He was the leading
scorer of either team. Antonio Reevesand Baylor Schierman each had seventeen points to
lead San Andrews and to lead allscores. Okay, so seventeen was your
leading scorer and that was not Bronnie, No jt topping you know the name.
(14:54):
He had eleven points on five ofeleven shooting. Our friend of dem
Bona from UCLA got the started centerfor Team San Andrews had six points and
fouled out. Okay, in nineteenplus minutes. And now we've got the
Brownie James line. Now we gota little start James Junior. He started
at guard along with A. J. Johnson, Number fifty Brownie James nineteen
minutes and forty seconds. He wastwo of eight shooting from the floor,
(15:18):
oh of four from beyond the arc. Three rebounds on the defensive end,
one on the offensive end for fourrebounds, zero assists, three turnovers for
four points total. Oh so,what you're telling me is when you saunter
around a three point line at abouttwenty percent game speed and go twelve for
(15:43):
twelve, Brian Windhorst is going togo on ESPN, the sport flagship in
the country in which we live,and celebrate your day at the combine for
weigne in at two hundred and tenpounds as we just heard and shooting twelve
for finishing second in the three pointcontest. What do we think he's going
to do tomorrow is he is hegoing to cover this? Is he going
(16:07):
to cover this story that in agame setting No. No. Nineteen minutes,
two for eight, We're gonna go. We're going to get back to
the narrative that OKC has taken controlof the series. I got a feeling
Bronnie James won't be mentioned tomorrow fromBrian windhors Oh. No neck on the
on the Get up show. Therethe zero for four zero assists, three
(16:27):
turnovers, four point effort won't bementioned. Find your neck through ozempic.
One of the two field goals thatBronny made was this floater in the lane.
Oh sweet, that he must haveput up about twenty feet in the
air and came down and made it. And it kind of surprised everybody that
he made it. Nice soft touchthere by Bronnie James for two of his
(16:47):
four points. Great around the basket, eight shots, four points. That
is efficiency. Oh yeah, thereyou go. Kate's pulling it up for
us. We have raged against thepropaganda machine quite a bit today. Will
look that floater mass beautiful floater.Well play that highlight. I think he
actually carried the ball before he thoughtwhat are we doing now, which is
(17:10):
why the defense was caught flat footed. Thanks a lot, Dick Bavetta.
They didn't call it there. Niceleft hand dribbles, switch to the right
hand floater good two for eight fourpoints, zero assists at six foot one
playing point guard, three turnovers,And that was your top story of the
day. Lebron James feel better,Yeah, both of his shots were floaters
(17:30):
in the lake. Nice. TheMeglomania continues with lebron the King and his
son Bronni, the Prince of Wales, and we'll be right back with the
David vass Report featuring David Vassa livein San Francisco. Dodgers tonight, first
pitch against the Giants at six fortyfive, Same schedule tomorrow, So remember
(17:52):
PMS once again on a flex alert. My wife, They're not happy.
Scholler two pm to five thirty againtomorrow. Joining us right now on the
Southern California Toyo to do the celebrityhotline. It's time for David Vasselm of
the Dodgers with an inside look atthe Dodgers. This is the Vassi Report
(18:19):
with David Vase just as vulnerable asany of the victims of the Dirty Hairy
Movies or the Zodiac Killer in SanFrancisco walking around late at night, David
vasse braving it all for you,the Dodger fan, Dodger Talk tonight,
Dodger Talk every night, Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck, our Dodger Reporter,
(18:40):
MLB Network and of course Spectrum Sportsnetas well at the Real Underscore dv
How's it going up there? Davidseemed like a actually pretty friendly Dodger crowd
there last night. Yeah, itwas not a hostile environment as it has
been back in twenty twelve or twentyfourteen. Giants fans seemed to have sold
their tickets to Dodger fans that werewilling to pay steep prices. There were
(19:06):
thirty five thousand at Oracle Park lastnight and it was my guestimation seventy thirty
Dodger fans beat La chants were veryfaint and completely drowned and dominated by the
let's go Dodger chance from the Dodgerfaithful that made the track up here.
(19:29):
Two part question Dave one, isour friend far Han Ziety still employed?
In two? If he is,is he going to be fired imminently due
to a seventy percent Dodger fan takeoverof Oracle Park? Well, yes,
he's still in charge. He triedto throw San Francisco money at these free
agents and was not successful again.As Yamamoto and Otani signed with the Dodgers,
(19:55):
he was able to sign multiple ScottBoris clients, Matt Chapman who hitting
two twelve, Jung Hu Lee whoseparated his shoulder two days ago, and
Blake Snell, who is on theil. So it's been a tough road
for the Giants so far this year. And yeah, I would say his
job definitely is not as secure asit was two years ago. What was
(20:17):
going on with Yamamoto last night?Well, he just didn't have a good
secondary stuff. His turnball which gothit by Luis Mattos was a hangar up
in the zone, and he justdidn't have great command. When he doesn't
have great command, it's going tobe a rough night. But he competed.
I think that's the one thing weall appreciate from Yamamoto. He's not
just folding. He's competing even withouthis best stuff. The Great David Vsse
(20:42):
is our guest. He took along walk around the Bay Area today,
the wharf to bridge walk. Ibelieve he did Dave and survive. Would
you like to detail that? Yeah, you know, I went through Golden
Gate Park. You know, didnot get run over by any biker that
wanted to dominate the sidewalk path anddefinitely a great walk with Jack Harris from
(21:06):
the La Times and Juan Terribio fromDodgers dot Com. So three guys walk
in to the Golden Gate Bridge,did you well up here in San Francisco,
did you guys discuss, as youphilosophized and reasoned on your walk,
did you talk about Will Smith breakingout of his comedy club slump? We
actually talked about the very poor answersby Will Smith after the game more than
(21:30):
him breaking out of his slump.Tetross. He does seem like an unlikely
candidate for a comedy club type.No, very much so. Cedric the
entertainer was much needed as the cohost of that Netflix is a joke at
the orphe him and yeah, cominginto the game last night, he was
oh for his last seventeen. Hemade outs in his first two or three
(21:52):
at match, was OH for twentyas you tweeted out and came up with
a basit in the eighth inning.And the way Jose Motives said was that
Fernando Vealezuela, when Will Smith cameto the plate in the tenth inning,
believe that base hit in the eighthinning gave him the confidence that he was
back on track. So it canhappen within the game. And look,
(22:14):
you know, for a team thatmatches up that was a really bad matchup
where you have a lefty on themound facing Will Smith, who is now
hitting four to twenty nine against leftiesthis year. That is not the ideal
matchup for Farhan ball. Also notan ideal matchup Dave inserting a pinch runner
and then watching aforementioned substitution get pickedoff by Blake Trinin and a look of
(22:41):
disbelief on the manager. How manytimes in all the years that you've been
covering baseball can you think of thata pitch runner was put into the game
and then picked off damn near immediately. Well, let's put that into context.
The Giants have had a lot ofinjuries and obviously they're is not as
deep as the Dodgers. That kidthat got picked off at first base as
(23:03):
a pinch runner was just called up, so he's essentially a Sacramento River Cat
and saw Blake Trinon's best pickoff move, so he got taken to school very
quickly. Education cut him some slat. Yeah, that's all about education,
Like Ron Washington select those river Cats. David Vasse is our guest. We're
always happy to be talking to him. The Stone, Gavin Stone, Come
(23:29):
on, I just like say it. You know we got a big warning
stone, do it? Gavin Stonethe Stone bowner. Come on, yeah
with Gavin Stone, who is astate champion tennis player in Arkansas. He
let me know he beat his ownbrother in the state championships in Arkansas and
high school. He beat off hisown brother. Yep, Hey, I
(23:51):
heard mister irrelevant, not the profarguy, but the other mister irrelevance thrown
out the first pitch that Dave.Oh yeah, the game manager brock Per,
he'll be out there today. Hey, hey, Giants fans, look
over here, here's Rock Purty.Don't look at our record and all the
Dodger fans over here. Oh,Dave is living his best life right now.
It's a bad scene up there forthe Giants. I'm Dave. They're
really suffering and you're really enjoying it. You're really reaping all the benefits.
(24:17):
I really am. I really am, because look these fans up here,
the wine and cheese fans in theBay Area, they're insufferable when they have
success. And you know, asyou know, Matt covering the NFL,
I'm sure you're very well aware thatRock Party's got a noodle arm and couldn't
throw past thirty yards. So Ifeel like this first pitch We'll see whether
(24:37):
or not Purty goes on the moundfor this first pick or he's on the
dirt. Wow, Dad, shootingparty's got to wear it too, Hey,
Dave, I'm looking at the TimKates Colin Ye baseball card wall I
looked at Oh yeah, I waslooking at it a little bit earlier.
If if you were offered, let'ssay, fifty bucks for a Gavin Stone
(25:00):

job out there. But he saidit was also because the spot got hot
pops Catholic, mom Protestant and inthe early fifties no bueno inter faith marriages.
So they moved to Canada. Whenhe was eight, they moved to
the States Maryland as his dad landedan engineering job now at Westinghouse. Uh
(31:45):
Burne said, At that moment,he still had his Scottish accent, but
he was bullied by those great schoolersin Baltimore. You mean Baltimoreans, They
sprinkle Bay into the sea. Headopted an American accent and that was that.
A musical prodigy. As a weelad mastered the harmonica by five,
(32:07):
guitar, violin and accordion by nine. Auditioned for the middle school choir,
but again those Baltimorean bullies said,you sing off key. He was like,
I don't think I sing off key. Like, nah, you're singing
off key. So no choir forhim. He went to the Rhode Island
(32:28):
School of Design the Maryland Institute Collegeof Art started and ended a few bands,
Pizzatti the Artistics with future Talking Headsco founder Chris Franz, but neither
caught on, so the pair movedto New York City. Chris brought his
lady friend Tina along and U Tina. The three of them all lived in
(32:50):
the same abode in the big town. They worked odd jobs during the day,
they practiced music at night, andbecause they couldn't find a bass player,
Chris suggested that Tina learned to playbass so they could have you know
better jam sessions? She did,and Burne insisted she joined the band.
Said she did not want to,but he said, no, you're joining
the band. She didn't like himvery much. Now no, it went
(33:13):
sideways. But you know what talkingHeads first day as a couple, they've
teamed up emotionally against Bern and hishis Asperger's face there is that he is
on the spectrum self. Admittedly theband called talking Heads from a description in
the TV guide first gig ever openingfor the Ramones at CBGB's on June fifth,
(33:34):
nineteen seventy five. First gig,CBS was immediately interested, paid for
their demos, but passed. SeymourStein and Sired did not. First album
had Psycho Killer often running no problemwith the follow up. Eno produced their
next three, including that one TakeMe to the River, next up Fear
of Music Life during Wartime, anotherhit, this one Remaining Light in nineteen
(33:58):
eighty had Once in a Lifetime livealbum that went platinum, and then Speaking

This Must Be the Place one ofthe all time great songs Ever Been and
Oh Tony's got a big suit.He does. The concert film Stopped Making
(34:19):
Sense is quite possibly one of it'squite possibly the greatest live music movie ever.
It is awesome. Jonathan Demi Pantagiousfour Nights. If you take nothing
else away from David Burne's birthday,do yourself a favor and go watch Stop
Making Sense turns out. Back then, people knew how to perform. They
(34:40):
weren't just playing their music live.They took it as a performance that you
were paying for, and they wouldthen perform for you instead of just play
music live. Hi Kicks, LittleCreatures in eighty five had Road to Nowhere
and she was Stay up Late Allhits, True Stories had Wildlife. Hard
to write a hit, but theTalking Heads managed to do it every single
(35:04):
release. They broke up in ninetyone, officially pretty much toast. In
eighty eight, they didn't like Burnput out solo record, put it to
Burn too, and they did theTom Tom Club. They did. He
wasn't emotionally unaffected because he's you know, doesn't really inspect me to say I
am on the spectrum. Said ithas been a benefit and also occurs Afro
(35:25):
Cube and he got into he mademovies true Stories, which he directed and
started. Not a fan. Hehowever, Vic would approve of this,
but she didn't like that sweet poster. Though the sweet poster is say true
Stories would make an appearance in acollege dorm room here and there. He
did the theme to The Last Emperorwith Rucci Sakamoto and they won an Oscar
(35:47):
together for that. Oh, Ithought it was for the Golden Chilow Eddie
Murphy. Oh, I've heard itboth ways. He did the soundtrack to
Big Love, produced a Broadway playAmerican Utopian twenty nineteen. He co wrote
the song this is a Life forEverything everywhere all at once, performed that
at the Oscars. Call Alex Faustreference Yes, married once. We're like,
(36:08):
what's that daughter divorced? No onthe spectrum, oh that, self
admitted. All I said was thathusband and Bassis the drunk. When your
rhythm section hates you, it's hardto keep the beard. He said,
he's on the spectrum. They hatehim. I don't know if they hate
(36:28):
him. They did, They didhave a bit of a I don't know,
man. I watched her doc.Yeah, look it was a hell
of a great twenty years. Hey, look, hell of a twenty years.
Looks what they did to Look whatthey did to Felder, exactly right,
you know, And he's not onteen and Chris or five. I
don't think Felder's on the compound ClubFelt five. Felder's very emotional. I
don't think he's on the set Happyseventy second to the great Go Watch Stop
(36:52):
Making Sense David Burr, I poureda beer on his head. That's what
the Garry Brown. They should dothe David Byrne knees, you know,
really pinch your boots and shake thoseknees like he did on Stop Making Sense.
