Rogan on the Instagram, what excuse me? On the A
five seventy LA Sports Instagram. If you want to get
a lot of Fred Rogan, you're gonna get a lot
of that over there. Well, I mean, I think Fred.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Is job talked about Will Smith today being maybe the
best player in baseball right now, or maybe the most
underappreciated player.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
I mean, you know, you sound like Ronnie about my mixtapes,
you know, like you don't appreciate Fred on the Instagram.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Oh, I most definitely do.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Well, there's Fred, see it. Yeah, look at that backdrop.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
That's what I mean. Look at that. He's got a
great step and repeat backdrop behind him. Looks real professional.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
I don't think you'd ever say that about somebody if
you were that you were trying to compliment, like that
guy looks real profession But yeah, I mean yeah, but
see you know what, but you know what I mean, Matt, You.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Know, I guess I just don't expect it to look
like like you know, there's like.

Speaker 6 (03:17):
Sorry, Tim, God, that's somebody trying to overcompensate for actually
not being in students.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Looking like they're in studient.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
You know what what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
My gosh, guys, just lay your cards on the table
face up. Why don't you.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I expected to see some blue turquoise cactie, you know,
maybe one of those American guys selling Turqoise Street like
a head dress.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Come on now, you're make me move out there?

Speaker 2 (03:41):
You know one of them cow skulls that likens up awesome,
right as opposed to.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
I bought this cow skull at the Palamino exactly.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
You know, a key to the city from from Sonny Bono,
something along those lines, Palm Springs Key to the city
or Palm Springs man. I actually know he would have
the Inglewood key to the city from James Butts.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Spots and then twenty nine palms.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
There you go?

Speaker 6 (04:07):
Is that a Native American dream catcher in the background?

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Awesome? Like that's what I'm talking about. I should have
a desert flet.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
The Marongo Reservation behind one to eleven talked under Highway seventy.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Four, Like, what's that you live out there? Pete? What's
the name of the of the hiking the famous hiking
trail to get you to the top of that that
mountain there in Palm Springs the tram takes you to
I don't yeah, like a photo of him atop like
you know, with a water bottle covered in sweat.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
I've achieved it's easier to take the tram.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Just something along those lines just what I think his
backdrop would be, you know, like Rodney Peete's got a
picture of him on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Pretty
go to the Colisseum. It's like, oh, yeah, he's at
home and he's in his sports den in his man cave,
you know. And Fred's like, I'm not, I'm I'm I'm
officially at the station.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
I mean again, I don't think we brought it up
to compliment him.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
That's that's why it smelled what I was stepping in.
That's stung too.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
The five o'clock Hours brought to you by the Marongo
Casino Resort and spot immediately located along the iten less
than ninety minutes away from wherever you are. Marongoo, Good
time time for the final hour. Fun fact.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
It's fun in effect, it's the yeah three fun.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Fun fact.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Did you know the term Devil's advocate comes from the Church?
No surprise there, but the origin of the title Devil's
advocate stems from it being attached to a church official
who was appointed to argue against a candidate for sainthood,

(05:51):
the Devil's Advocate.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
I saw that guy touch a spoofs I'm playing Devil's advocate.
He was just doing it. Look at it. It's like
that charger guy on the sideline. All right, it is
time of the quick hits, some ms quick hits.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Come make it quick, y'all.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Oh yeah, Dodgers fifty nine and forty two they won
last night. Troubles are over, uh except for tenor Scott's Obo.
They're home tonight versus the twins. Yoshi Yamamoto on the
mound so much that cy young.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Bid what's his name? What do we call him?

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Here? We don't call him it. Come on, you call
him Yama because you heard Gomes call him Yama right now.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Domes called him Yama to us, Friedman called him yamaa
Us and Caros.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
They all basically some people you know that use one
abbreviation or something and then somebody just takes ownership of
it and uses it for the.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Rest of their lock. Guess what they were. They were
tipping the cap to us, like, hey, guys, you're in
the club. When you're in the club, you call him Yama.
Well I I could tell him Yama, you guys, that's
how it sounds when you say it. Man, if you
were in the club, listen for what ready taking on
the Twins tonight game two of three Yamas on the m.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
That's very good. That's very pretty good.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's very like I'm in the No.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah, Dave Fleming would be jealous. You damn RDDY would be.
The Angels cannot get to five hundred, you losers, City
Field of New York taken on the Mets, Frea.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Could jump out to a giant lead yesterday, starting to
get after it, finally going to get to five hundred,
and just like that, two games under.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
And Matt, congratulations to our friend coach. Why is at Corona?
How about that? Look at what Sondheimer tweeted out today?

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Pretty awesome if you measure success and we kind of do,
you know by earnings? What an opportunity that Corona High
gave to these three individuals for playing baseball. There the
three first rounders seth Ornandez, Billy Carlson, and Brady Ebel
combined as they have now signed their professional deals with

(07:53):
their respective clubs. Hernandez the Pirates, Carlson the White Sox,
Ebel the Brewers. They received a combined guaranteed sixteen million,
two hundred thirty five thou nine hundred dollars in signing bonuses.
Congratulations to those young men just out of high school,
sixteen point two three five million dollars in guarantees.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
And Matt somebody else was robbed during the All Star
Game last Tuesday in Atlanta, Diamondbackstar could tell Marty's home
was burglarized back in Phoenix this week, Marte shared that
around four hundred thousand dollars where the items were stolen
from his home. He did not detail what exact items
were stolen, but it was previously reported that some jewelry

(08:37):
and other big items were taken every damn night, every
damn night when somebody's out of town. These these theft
rings know how to swoop up on, especially professional athletes.
It seems like.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Top couple of weeks for Marte. Remember you had the
yeah the thing in the White Sox game. The heckler
was talking about his mother who passed away.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
He was he was happy to announce a little bit
of a positive vibe that still really enjoys the sunsets
in a.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Tinth the sunsets here fantastic.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
They're for free too.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
I do not think that is kad. Tell Mark, no one.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Can steal the sunset from you. You can't take my sunshine.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
I think the sunsets here fantastic.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Kyr.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
You don't want to do this, do you, Zach? No, No,
I don't. All right, well, we'll not talk to you
then down the road train luck with your career.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Training camps around the league have opened up the Jim
Harbaugh USD Victory lap is underway Chargers practice in San Diego,
a great military town, not so much a great charger
town anymore, but veterans and active duty members enjoyed it,
that is for sure.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, I'll head down there tomorrow. It's actually pretty darn
good in terms of fans from from down there. It'll
be San Diego fans tomorrow, Like you said, active duty
members today and Jim Harbaugh donning that USD cap that
he used to do when you first started talking to
him as a coach, p on the sidelines there and
certainly seem to find a level of comfort in his

(10:06):
presser behind a very collegiate lectern and backdrop.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Let's go Toria doors. The Rams have their first practice
tomorrow at LMU. Quarterback Matt Stafford will be held out
of Le Moux workouts. Most workouts really because of back
sore on this because he's super old and his wife
is such a pain in the ass that it's crept

(10:32):
up to his lower back.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Do you want to take a couple weeks off, Matt
and just kind of hang out at home? No, no,
get me out of the house.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Mcveigeld the media today care at the thirty seven year
old Stafford same age's kershaw, which is you know, nearer
that age.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
You know each other from the same part that I know.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
I've never heard. He's going to spend the first five
days of training camp on the side with team athletic trainers,
working separately from the Rams offense, basically like a kicker
stretching out. But he doesn't have to be at home
with his wife, which is the most important.

Speaker 6 (11:04):
Yes, Hey, Matt, it's coach McVay. You know you've earned this.
You're thirty seven, my man. Take a few days off
all the venal rapport now, No, we got back up
for me to be with the guys. No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
That I would play uno with him, so I got
to be there.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, but you know what, just just head home, you know,
it's it's it's a long season. You're gonna be away
from the family for a while. You know, why don't
you just take these couple of days.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
No, No, I'm working on I'm working on a mosaic.
Uh so I brought it with my brought on my tiles.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Do you mean to bring the family in since you're
not practicing?

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Now? We got camps, we got theater camps. I just
want to be a tunnel it. You know, it's a
distraction to me. It's like about just the wife brought
him on the plane and they were all sick. No, No,
Kelly's got a waxing appointment. Okay, Pete Carroll's not holding
back on how great he thinks the Raiders are going
to be this fall. He communicated in snapping Morris Code

(12:00):
that he is leading the way in Vegas, which is
he what he wanted to what he wanted to convey,
and that he's confident now he's going to turn it around.

Speaker 7 (12:10):
We win most games. I can't even imagine anything. I
haven't winning ten games a year for twenty years or something.
Now now with my expectations to Quint win a bunch
and I don't care you know who hears that. I mean,
it doesn't matter to me any about what anybody here
is about what we do. And so that's why expectations
are are really high. The standards need to be so

(12:31):
that the expectations can be met, so that you know,
I wish I could guarantee if you a minute, but
I can't even think of what else it could be
other than.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Being a little successful. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
It's gotta be great.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
I mean, he's believable.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
He's won everywhere he's gone.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
I've been winning ten games.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
I argue with it.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
I've been winning ten games a year since I don't
know when Big ten Media Days or in Vegas. Ohio
state head coach Ryan Days, and his team is young,
so young that he had to check his three star
players into the hotel room at media Day because they
couldn't do it themselves because they aren't twenty one. And
you hear that go go music, that means we're talking

(13:12):
Maryland terms football. Maryland head coach Mike Locksley commented on
the influence of nil noting a new sign outside the
term's locker.

Speaker 8 (13:23):
Room because I had to decide whether to pay a
freshman coming in or take care of a veteran player
that helped me go to three bowl games and have
success and do something that hadn't been done in one
hundred and thirty years in the history of Maryland football.
And it was hard to do both. And so what
I've decided now is, if you come to Maryland and

(13:45):
you look outside of our locker room, there's a sign,
and that sign reads, you can leave your Louis belts,
your car keys, and your financial statements outside of this
locker room because when you enter those doors, we'll all
pay the same price for success or failure.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, yeah, lock Yeah, I'm not bringing my Louis. You're
gonna leave it at the door.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
Chest You up too, Mason. The ACC Media Day is
going on. That is the ACC Media Day, I believe
is in the Outer Banks this year and every Windys
the SMU coach rhtt Lashly took an opportunity to take
a shot at the SEC. He said this, the same

(14:26):
six schools have won the SEC since nineteen sixty four.
Not a single one is different from nineteen sixty four.
That's top heavy. That's not debt there you goo, rhtt
good point, Lashly.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Nothing says Atlantic Coast Conference like a school from Dallas.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
And we'll be back with David Vasse joining us not
from Dallas, but Dodger Stadium, also on the Atlantic coast
by our geographical account. Yes, and we'll be back with that.
The latest on the Dodgers. There, lineup ten or ski?
Who's a coward? You? The SEC play the same amount

(15:05):
of conference games as everybody else.

The Dodger.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
With an inside look at the Dodgers, this is the
Vass Report with David Vasse.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Well, a victory comes, but at what cost? At what cost?
David Vasse joins us he knows the cost of doing
business and traveling with a baseball team. He also knows
what's going on with the Dodgers. Spectrum Sports Net, LA,
Dodger Talk and MLB Network. Nobody brings it like David

(16:39):
Vase live at Dodger Stadium. Dave, how's it going out there?

Speaker 5 (16:43):
It's going great. I'm talking to the best third base
coach in Major League Baseball, Dino Ebel, who gave his
famous whistle to James Outman and the rest of the
outfielders yesterday before Korea hit that fly ball. No doubles?
You know, can you give us the whistle? There we go?
That was the way with no doubles, the.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
No doubles whistle? Very Uh is it two fingers or one?
Or what does he have to do?

Speaker 5 (17:08):
Fingers? Wo fingers?

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Phil Jackson style, very impressive. What about Outman last night there, Dave,
that was nice world Tarzan. My dad got excited.

Speaker 5 (17:17):
I know he did, I know he did. And you know,
James was was cool as a cucumber. After the game,
He's like just another f eight. I's like, no, it
was a little bit more than that, James. He robbed
a home run. And certainly you got to give Dave
Roberts a lot of credit for putting James Outman into
the game with a three run lead, to be able

(17:38):
to have the best possible defensive outfield with Pa Hez
and right outman and center and a solid Michael Conforto
and left. That just was really good managing, even in
that moment.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Let's uh, you know, before we get to all the
positives there were plenty last night, Dave, just that concern
about the inning, about the you know, Tanners situation, if
you know anything more on that, and just kind of
all these hard hit balls that we're getting from this bullpen.
And now it sounds like Scott's got injury. Is Yates
fully kind of recovered from what he was dealing with earlier?
How much of injury can we put in to all

(18:15):
these home runs? That the bullpen has been given up.

Speaker 5 (18:19):
Well, the velocity hasn't dipped on Kirby Ates, maybe some
of the movement, but he's been victimized by the long ball,
and that's problematic when you're a relief pitcher. In fact,
the Dodger bullpen itself has given up the second most
home runs in Major League Baseball to only the Angels,
and that's not a recipe for success. That's not something
you want to lead in. Kirby Ates, to me, should

(18:42):
be moved into that Joe Kelly role where he's pitching
in a tide game, maybe you're down to run. That's
where his role should be with what we've seen so far,
and that's why so many of us believe that Dodgers
are going to make not just one trade, but possibly
a trade where they can acquire too relievers to help
bolster this bullpen, along with getting Blake Trening back and

(19:05):
maybe even Bruce Dark gretorov Hack at some point this year.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
They did it last year with Kopek and Dave. You
kind of threw those names out early where it's not
really early. We're what nine days away from the trade deadline,
So who are we looking at with you know, the
extra wild card and tight races. It seems like there's
fewer and fewer sellers every single season. But what's out
there and what kind of an impact could these relieve

(19:30):
these relievers have on this team.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
Oh, there's a lot of opportunities for the Dodgers to
make a trade, in particular these Twins. The Twins need catching.
The Dodgers have a really good catcher that's playing twice
a week in Dalton Rushing. The Twins have a closer
that is one of the best in baseball that's under
control for two more years. It would appear on the surface,

(19:53):
the Dodgers and Twins are a really good trade partner.
Not to mention, the Twins have a couple of o
pretty good set up right handed relievers to go along
with two pretty good outfielders and Harrison Bader and Byron Buxton.
So you would imagine the Dodgers and Twins are a
good fit for each other. Because Christian Basquez, the Twins catcher,

(20:14):
his contracts over at the end of this year and
they need to catch. They don't have anybody coming up
through the pipeline. They acquired Diego Kartaya off of waivers,
it didn't work out. His career seems to just be
in the minor leagues now. So the Dodgers and Twins
seem to be a good trade partner with each other.
And look, there's no secret the Dodgers and Cardinals had

(20:35):
conversations over the off season that included Ryan Helsley. The
Cardinals now all of a sudden are a seller and
Helsley's a rental and my guy in Pittsburgh, David Bednar
very available as well. So there's a lot of guys
and maybe the Grand Slam, big time home run. Outside
of making a trade with the Twins would be talking

(20:56):
to the a's about what the A's obviously are in
limb right now in Sacramento. They care about Vegas. Why
wouldn't they listen to what the Dodgers.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Have to offer.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Mason Miller's one thing, but Bednar your guy. Everybody knows.
I've been ground floor Bednar for years.

Speaker 5 (21:13):
I know, and now he's getting closer to free agency.
And to take all the credits are still yeah, the
Pirates are still not contenders. So I mean, it wouldn't
cost as much to be able to try to acquire
a pitcher that only has a year and a half
left of control, two years more than three.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Look, I've been wrong before. I thought Max Munsey's leg
fell off and the leg went to Kech Medical in
East la and Munsey went to Cedars Sinai. But that
didn't happen. He's going to be back before the season's over.
What about Tanner Scott, like, like, did you give us
a definitive? I mean, it's not good if a guy

(21:51):
has four on pain, right.

Speaker 5 (21:54):
No, and not a good thing when you have a
stinging sensation the way he described it to Dave Roberts.
And I've observed over the course of the year Tanner Scott,
when he's warming up in the bullpen at times has
had one of those warm up sleeves on his left
arm and then takes it off when he comes into
the game. So you wonder whether or not he's been

(22:14):
pitching through some pain this season, and maybe that's the
reason why he hasn't been the same Tanner Scott that
we saw last year. So today an MRI on his
left arm. We'll have to wait and see if the
Dodgers reveal the extent of what that MRI revealed, because
as we know, as we get closer to the trade deadline.
The Dodgers don't want to give away any leverage and

(22:36):
don't want to disclose injuries to their fullest extent. Teams
don't as they get closer to the deadline, so they
retain some leverage. So we'll see how much we get
from the Dodgers today in regards to Tanner Scott, but
Max Munsey Petros, not only is he going to be
back before the end of the year, he may be
back within the next two weeks.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, So I'm out there taking fielding practice yesterday with
that sleeve on the leg. Dave, two part question here
on Otani. One, as you now have been around him
for a sea over a season and a half with
the Dodgers, just the idea that he gives up his
first home run comes up in the bottom of the
innion and immediately answers with an absolute blast a dead

(23:17):
center and how that speaks to just maybe how that
guy's wired. And then the second part of that he
was hitting second. I know they move Muki a day before,
but do you think that's something we might see when
he's pitching moving forward, not having him in that leadoff spot.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
He's going to be hitting second for the foreseeable future.
Mookie Bets has looked like Mookie Betts again the first
two games, batting leadoff and putting a guy on base
for Otani for it to be not just a solo
home r in yesterday, but a two run home run.
And obviously Muki does not have the batting average or
the ops that we're used to. But the one thing

(23:54):
that Muki has continued to do this year is have
the strikeout to walk race pretty even He's still walking
even though he's not getting hits, and that's something you
want in front of Otani. So that's another great move
by Dave Roberts to have Mookie lead off and yesterday
having Will Smith hitting third. I love that too, and

(24:15):
that's going to be the Dodgers won two combo for
the next couple of weeks, and if it's going well,
I don't see them changing it.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
That's what the lineup looks like tonight again, Dave, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (24:27):
That's the way it looks like tonight. And your guy
James Outman is in the starting lineup tonight. Te Oscar
Hernandez gets the day off. He's been struggling, so Outman
is in center field. Please alert your father.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Last one for me, Dave, Dustin May last night, first
time in that role as now the long man behind
Otani now that Shean is pitching. Did you have a
chance to kind of catch up with him? How did
he feel? It certainly looked like one of his better
outings of the season.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
Yeah, it's interesting. I saw Dustin May after the game
last night taking photos with his on the field, and
you know, his name has come up in trade rumors,
and that very well could have been the last time
Dustin May pitched at Dodger Stadium wearing a Dodger uniform.
Because the trade deadline will be on July thirty first,

(25:15):
he's a free agent at the end of the year.
The Dodgers are getting healthy pitching wise, his name has
been rumored to be out there as an available arm
to help the Dodgers complete a trade. So I'm not
sure if that was a coincidence or it wasn't lost
on him that there was a possibility that could be
the last time he took the mound at Dodger Stadium

(25:36):
wearing that blue.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Who else gives insight like that, David Vasse, Thank you, Dave,
have a great night. Who's on the pregame?

Speaker 5 (25:43):
Oh, Tommy Tanks, Tommy Edmund, who made a great play
at third base last night?

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Fabulous, the Stanford Tree himself and the Tory Pine from
La JOYA Country Day.

Speaker 5 (25:54):
Thank you Dave, Thank you guys.

The Dodgers won last night. We will be headed to
a game. We sent a lot of people to Dodgers
versus the Twins, and we gave away a whole bunch
of tickets yesterday. It was a great feeling to do so.

(27:15):
Time for the dead Guy. Birthday of the Day Stephen
Vincent Benay, Yes, Matt, inspired by the arts of you
playing one of the great most artistic songs we've ever
played on this show yesterday, Vincent by Don McClain about

(27:39):
Vincent van Gogh. A lot of people talk about American Pie.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
But anybody who knows anything knows it's all about Vincent.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Anybody who's anybody knows that.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Anybody one hundred.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
And twenty seven years old today. Stephen Vincent Benney inspired
by Matt from Fountain View, O Mountain Hill, Pennsylvania. His
father was a colonel. He went to Hitchcock Military Academy
in San Rafael, California. Then Yale No but no, no, no.

(28:13):
But he was in charge of the Yale lit magazine.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Okay, that's big deal.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Founded in eighteen thirty six, not unlike Brendan Walsh with
The Beverly Beat in nine two and zero. He first
published in the at the very young age of seventeen.
Around that year he met a girl and married her
in Chicago. When he was abroad, met her and then
married her in Chicago. His most famous poem, and it

(28:39):
is famous, won him the Pulitzer Prize. The poem not
the white guy reggae band of the same name, which
we're listening to right now. Yeah, Boston, of all places,
turn up that white guy reggae. This is some real
white guy rage. The lead singer is bald but still
has like the dreads all around the side and back
of his head. I mean, real white.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Guy rang, real white rostapasta.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Truly, Matt. This is even before that was now. The
poem in nineteen twenty eight was, as Lebron James would say,
the A all and b all and won the Pulitzer
and it was called John Brown's body book length poem.

(29:24):
He also won the Pulitzer for The Devil and Daniel Webster,
a faustian like short story Jesus and the song that
inspired a sublime cover by the Waters of Babylon. He
wrote that story too. This guy is significant and for
our listeners that don't know Matt, John Brown not just

(29:46):
the inspiration behind the poem. And this white guy reggae
band was a wild eyed abolitionist who was executed by
the US government before the Civil War, which, like Uncle
Tom's Cabin, a book by Harriet Beach your Stow, helped
galvanize the attitudes of the North. And if the white
reggae wasn't enough, Matt, oh, here turn up the white

(30:08):
reggae a little bit more. Sean Brown's Body, everybody, Bostonian,
I will say this, Matt. It's an eight piece, a
real healthy horn section there.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
It's a good sound there by the horn section really
got no problem with the sound.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah, the horn section is great. The bald white guys
with the shi d.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Problem.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Here is a reading of John Brown's Body. We don't want.
We won't do the whole book. It takes like an hour. Well, yah,
flesh stopping real quick. If it was Fred and Rodney
they do this in two parts.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Well they would do it twice.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
But Pennsylvania and Kentucky wheat and it has soaked in
California and five years tempered in New England's sleep to
strive at last the gamest an alien proof, and by
the changes of an alien moved to build again that

(31:15):
blue American roof over a half forgotten battle to and
call unsurely from the haunted ground, armies of shadows, and
the shadows sound.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
I mean, I mean I would do this for an hour.
I can get behind us, Come bring come, bring it back.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
The captain closed the Bible here, putting it down as
if his fingers loved.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
Then he turned mister may sir.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
All right, okay, where you go, then get good stuff.
Everybody can revisit that land.

Speaker 7 (32:03):
Now.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
I gotta look up the white reggae guy with the
wacky dredge John Brown's body that we're singing the John
Brown spotty there. Well, that's the name of the band,
of the band, I'm sorry, not the song. What You're
a live guy, P We got a rare egott. Alan
Irwin Menkin born in the Big Town, and he is

(32:24):
one of just one. He is one of just twenty one.
More people have been to space. Y'all been to space
than have accomplished defeat of earning the egot, essentially hitting
for the cycle on the Entertainment award circuit, Emmy Grammy Oscar.
Well actually would be yeah, Tony egot Emmy Grammy Oscar

(32:48):
Tony mencan has done. Father was a dentist, mother and actress,
playwrights piano lessons when he was a wee lad vio
violin lessons as well. By the time he was he
was already writing original materials. Submitted a composition to the
New York Federation of Music Clubs. He did not win

(33:08):
it as a nine year old, but his work was
rated as superior. Said he wanted to be Bob Dylan,
mister Johns wish to say, yeah, I know you do,
I know you'd get it. He said he would compose
his own tangents to Bach and Beethoven Sonatas he went
to NYU was accepted into the BMI Musical Theater Workshop,

(33:31):
where he was mentored by the famous Leyman Engle, who
ushered him into the world of Broadway, writing oh yeah, yeah,
oh no, he's he's been married to a ballet dancer
fifty three years. He was writing modern dance but also jingles.

(33:52):
To pay the bills, he landed a gig as a
songwriter for Sesame Street, so that didn't pay him much,
but got him some notoriety and his Broadway work started
to take off. Off did the music for God Bless You,
mister Rosewater, the musical version of the Fonican novel, and
that was a critical success which allowed him to raise
the money to write his original Little Shop of Horse

(34:16):
kind of a big deal first run though did not
make it. It was shut down, moved off Broadway to
the Orpheum in the East Village, where it took off
and ran for five years. It is one of, if
not the highest grossing off Broadway show of all time.
Like that Green Day album, just like that American Idiot

(34:38):
I believe was the the the off Broadway Green Day album. Right,
Disney came and got him for their relaunch after the
eighty six movie version of Little Shop of Horse. A
was a big win, and they said it was up
to Menkan to basically save Disney, and he did. He

(35:01):
wrote all the music for The Little Mermaid. He won
the Oscar for Under the Sea, won Best Score as well.
Beauty and the Beast was next. His title song won
the Oscar of course Aladdin as You Hear It in
the Background ninety one he won again for this song
A Whole New World and this dude is basically as
responsible for the return of Disney as anyone.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Never has there been a more accurate depiction of the
Arab world.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
I mean, everybody knows that.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
I mean, it's just it's unbelievable. I love it that
with the thieving Monkey and everything.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Damn right.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
You're right, though, Matt. It was a major comeback for Disney.
You know, the Little Mermaid and Aladdin and the Beauty
and the Beast. That was a big three.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yeah, and they're all men, can I.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
Mean, it's no Pocahontas or a Punzel.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
But you know he did the Broadway score and songs
for Beauty and the Beast. Is that kind of a
big deal on Broadway? It's made about a billion dollars.
He did the live action remakes. We won't hold that
against him, Beauty and the Beast in twenty seventeen, Aladdin
in nineteen, Little Mermaid in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Fail.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
But hey, I'm just doing the music, guys. He did
Captain America. He is working on musical adaptations of Night
at the Museum and Animal Farm. He has got eight Oscars,
eleven Grammys, one Tony, and one Emmy, not to mention
seven Golden Globes, and how about this for some self deprecation.
He's got a Razzie in nineteen ninety three for High
Times Hard Times in Newsies, which made him the first

(36:30):
person to accept an oscar and a Razzie in the
same year.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Multiple San Pedro young dancers were in Newsies along with
Christian to be Huge along with Christian Bale.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Newsies was supposed to be it Unfortunately it was and
Janice Roswick is the wife. Been married to her for
fifty three years. They have two daughters, Alan Mankin, I
can show you the world.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
Oh Matt, you already have. So we'll be back with
more tomorrow at three o'clock. Dodgers and Twins again tonight.
Can they keep it going? If they don't, Panics coming
right back like a boomerang. Cakes Man to be chosen
