seventy LA Sports, your home of the Dodgers. Intern Ben,

(01:04):
can you make me a copy of this that's important?
Thank you. It is a flex alert today on the
Petroson Money Show. We are on an hour early, which
is good news because Rogan and Rodney were really staggering
to the finish line there. Oh well, look, I'm not
asking for it. You don't have to. You don't have to,

(01:25):
am I wrong? I mean, the NBA Draft is rough.
It is rough content to talk about. I know some
people are into it, and we if we're on during
the NBA Draft, we have to cover it. What time
does the draft start? Five o'clock? Damn, we just missed it.

(01:46):
We are off at four point thirty today. So sorry everybody,
we are not going to be able to cover the
NBA Draft live here. Oh on the Petroson Money Show.
Now what we've done in the past. Have you ever
been Jonas Knox is here today and we'll give him
his proper interest? Maybe not? Now?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Have you ever been a Judas Priest? Video before the
show got me all fired out?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Oh, I gotta get Rile. Well, look, I had to
come clean with Ronnie, you know, and sometimes you know,
talking about music around here. Matt has a big background
in music. Used to be the program director for K Rock,
so you know, I mean, usually everything ends up becoming
a story about Jimmy E World or something. But Matt's
not here today, So I just I had to come

(02:32):
clean with Ronnie. And I said to Ronnie, I said, look,
it's taken me. You know, I'm forty eight and I
was born in seventy seven, and you know, so it's
not exactly like the onus was on me to know this,
but I've come to the conclusion that nobody shreds like Priest,
breaking the law, breaking the law. Nobody, nobody shreds like Priest.

(02:57):
And I think it was like USA Fast or something
like eighty in San Berdu when Halford, former PMS guest
Rob Halford on the promote his Christmas album, came on
to promote his Christmas album and was decked out in
all his well in eighty two. He came out singing

(03:17):
Electric Eye, just shredding in leather Bauhaus Dominatrix like gear
that reminds you of Cabaret the German the German musical
and the musical about post World War One Germany and
whips and stuff and his belt and just sang Electric
Eye and just brought it so hard. And I was like,

(03:38):
it just blew my mind. Now, I'm not gonna start
wearing a leather jacket and punching people or anything, or
breaking the law, as Ronnie said, but you know, I've
been inspired by Priest. I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Now, how many heterosexuals would you say, dressed up like
Judas priest, not realizing a lot, and.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I got it, you know. I mean years later when
I came around to like, you know, maybe eighty five,
eighty six, maybe eighty seven, I don't know what it was.
My dad took me to Music Plus or something and
I bought what George Michael faith and I was like,
that's a man. Look at that guy. I didn't know
that guy was gay. I want your sack. There's a
high Asian check. The song is not about Kashu six.

(04:20):
It's like, yeah, it is, you freaking freak.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Fast forward a few years later, he's shuffling his skin
cards in a bath.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Come on, I'm saying. He's like, you're talking about a
great Greek, a great British Greek man, George Michael. His
name was really Panayotu, Papa Nicolau or something. He was.
He's a Greek Orthodox guy. I didn't know that guy
was gay. I thought he was the manliest man. You know,
I'll be your father figure. Put your tiny hand in mind.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Do you remember the WWF tag team demolition back in
the day?

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, okay, I had.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
I couldn't figure out why my mom didn't there was
like my favorite tag team back in the day, and
I couldn't figure out why my mom didn't want me.
She was like, yeah, I don't I'm not sure if
we should be watching this. I couldn't figure it was
all Dominatrix outfit. Well they were Judas Priest but WWF style.
And you go back and look at you.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Know what your mom should have not said. You wouldn't
have grown up to be a vampire if your mom's suppressed.
I've been hanging upside down ever since. I know, look
at you, you're all dark and weird. Well, we're happy
to have well, let's intro Jonas first joining us on
the southern California Toyota neither celebrity microphone and headset for
the guest host is the lead singer of Black and Drac,

(05:34):

of Joe in the Morning from three to six am
every day on Fox Sports Radio. I am a Wednesday
guest for years.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Now.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Tell you they inherited me after Clay Travis went to
the Golden Mic Network. And seriously, so that's how you
inherited me.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
You were part of the OutKick recruiting class or do
you just stayed on board? I did stay on no
transfer portal for you. I was like the black coach
that they kept on right.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Just to everybody? Really, what you know this guy at
New Many Politics, You guys can keep it norm of
a sports guy.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Uh So.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Jonas Knox is here. He's a great radio talent and
we always love having him in. And if you hear
him on Rogan and Rodney, don't worry. He's a lot
better here. Oh I'm just kidding, Well, what are you
gonna do when you're being let around by a bad shepherd?
They were staggering, man, like I've just never seen like
it's a two hour show today for them and they're

(06:35):
just like just staggered, just standing eight. But we have hope.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, we hopeful music at noon, Hopeful music at noon.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
This afternoon, we're on early because the Dodgers are in Colorado.
They won last night. Dodgers on deck at fourth, first
pitch at five point forty. We're happy to have Jonas here.
David Vase will join us live from Coursefield. You ever
been to Course Field?

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Jonah?

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah? Great place, great venue? Oh for real?

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:16):
It is it bigger? Does it feel small? And provincial
because you grew up going to Dodger Stadium. That's how
everything feels to me. I'm small and weak and provincial.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
You can tell it was inspired by Wrigley Field, the
design on the outside, sort of the neighborhood, the brick walls,
all that stuff they tried to do.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
But yeah, it's a cool venue, cool park. All right. Well,
that's where David Vassa is and we will talk to
him in the next segment, and we will talk all
about the Dodgers and the Rockies and how exciting it
is to have the best team in baseball playing the
worst team in baseball right here on our air. And
the Dodgers will play twice, believe it or not, twice

(07:53):
before we are done, and I believe you'll back tomorrow. Yeah, Okay,
the Dodgers play after this, and they play tomorrow before us,
and we'll be on after the Dodgers, so we'll have
two best team in baseball versus worst team in baseball
games to react to by the time we're back on

(08:14):
the air. How does that sit with you?

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Their full throttle, full bottle, as they say.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, but that blows you down. So we do have
a big event and that's why we're playing the priest. Well,
is this Electric Eye live live at the Oh dude,
listen to these guys just come out and shred and
it's not This is not like Nokia Theater with Ariana
Grande playing or something. There's two hundred thousand sweaty, angry

(08:43):

the express lane. You know, this is before you know
you could get the express lane thing and and roll
through if you had three or more in your car.
You're dying out there by your Belinda. You're gonna die.
And Priest comes on like this and just starts shredding
like there's no tomorrow. Turn it up, dude, listen. It

Ronnie mentioned earlier? Good guy? All the best for the priest?
How old is Robot's old enough to be the greatest?

(10:20):

(10:42):

a very very popular tap room and eatery spread throughout
the Inland Empire. You being from the haight oh eight,
keep you from having sling the wares of what's east

(11:02):
of the four oh five. Well, the Hato five, the
Hato eight is uh, excuse me, Hawaii, Well you are
also a Hatero eight type. There's a lot of hatred
in Hawaii, a lot of tribalism. The other is people
don't realize not turn it out. Is this shredding? Yeah?
God could be in sand Burdu in any tonnel. Come on, God,

(11:28):
I love this and I'm looking up September's tap Room,

in Ranch of Cook, there's one in Paris, California, Redlands,
there's one in Redlands, and there's one in Chino Hills

be on tap, full bar, can't lose.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
And a new spot for you guys, right have you
ever been there?

Speaker 2 (12:05):
On a new spot and a potential to sponsor them
long term, so you know they're gonna bring up the
big guns. What do you mean, bring it like the all.

Speaker 6 (12:17):
The real drinkers, all the real drinkers, you know, the
the best drinkers. They've got the people to put on
a show, that are there for a happy hour, and
they're like, you know what, at this point, it's past
six seven o'clock.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
I'll just stay the whole way through. Thank you for
that moning. There was a guy that texted me the
other day. He said, I live right next to the
one in Paris, and I closed that bitch down once
a week. Guy literally said that on the secret text
Soso Line, brought to you by your Southern California.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Texts Fine, brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
We make it easy, and we do make it easy.
And thank you Ronnie for that fabulous, fabulous recording of
the Priest, because the Priest is the beast. And I say,
it's taken me a long time. I'm forty eight years old.
I'm a music snob. My expertise in music is Jamaican
music and jazz basically, and you know, some weird indie

(13:12):
rock and stuff. But that doesn't mean that I can't
appreciate the Priest. It's not like I'm going to grow
a long hair all of a sudden and start drinking
Natty light. I'm just saying I love Priest. It's a
great band, and they're not torn anymore. Well, he's seventy
three years old, you know, it's kind of like a
little past it.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yeah, but Mick Jagger died like fourteen years ago and
he's still rolling.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
No, no, no, Jagger's great.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
I mean they're still rolling. He's got a whole truck
with fitness equipment on him.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Well, you know his father, Mick Jagger's father a very
famous pe teacher in Britain. Huh, not kidding. Hence his stretchiness.
His ability to stretch and strut all those years is
because his father was a physical education teacher, true story.
And you know what, you're looking at me like I'm crazy.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
I'm just thinking about every pe teacher to stretch it
out now, and I don't see stretching out me.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Kick me in the jimmy. That's his dad is a
famous pe teacher. And that's and Mick was never much
of a druggie, you know, hence his ability to kick
and stretch. Now, a womanizer there's no doubt.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
And if he doesn't have herpie simplex B, I don't
know who does not anymore. He's worked that out, Little
Valtrex actually either, he just sweating it out on stage.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
After all, he gets on an air dyning bike for
five hours after a show. He didn't have herpees anymore.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Well, it's gonna be a hell of a time at
September's tap Room and Eatery and the Kook. We've got
Dodger tickets, we got a two night get away to
Vegas to give away. We got the Toyota Lounge at
your chance to win five thousand dollars at the final
tour stop at the end of the summer. And you
can register online at M five seventy l a sports
dot com. A big thank you to Toyota, A big
thank you to Sweet James Barry from Barry's Tickets and

(14:54):
our friends at Speedy Cash. Now, if I don't care
about the draft, like I I you know, I couldn't
care less about most of this stuff, and I can
be honest about it if Matt's not here. But I
really don't care about the NBA Draft. Yeah, maybe I
shouldn't be in sports but if we were on today

(15:15):
during the draft, I would act like I care, and
this is how we would handle it. First, you've never
been here for a draft, have you, Because we cover
the drafts like nobody. No, no, I haven't. First, you
feel the draft literally, the winds of change blows through.
Then we go to the pick on live TV. What

(15:37):
do you got on TV? Right now? Ronnie? Just roll
it out? I mean, as long as you're not watching
porn in there, I mean, right, okay, and now okay,
we bring it down and we play because what's happening.
The winds of change are blowing. Oh okay, the winds
are changing, blowing in a young man life. We could say, oh,
they've taken Shador Sanders. He's kind of a kind of

(15:58):
a weird kid, you know, I mean, just talk about him,
you know, six y four whatever, you know, hey, three
for three thousand yards.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
It's storly when Fran for shield Off pops on and
talks about some draft and stash player from Yugoslavia.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Right, well, wows phil talk? But we come on and
we start talking like we read the stats and you
know this guy can play the five O four? You
know that kind of yes, Okay, so bring it down.
You want to try it. You want to say, pick
San Petros, and then you handle it. You have to
say and then Ronnie takes over. You hear the wind
the draft, the pick comes up. It's not a pick.

(16:32):
It's just inane talking on television, not like we do
what we see it say here matters and uh and
then wins of changing a young man's life. And you
talk about the stats of whoever got drafted? Are you ready?
I'm ready to say it.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Oo, guess what it's time for Petros. It's time to announce.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
All right, now you know what that what? You know
what that's Now you're like O. J. Simpson and the like.
Don't over act like you gotta like look over it.
We're talking. We're doing sports talk. We're chopping it up.
Your take, my take. MJ's better than Lebron Bam, bam bam.
What would have happened if they traded Kobe to the Clippers?

(17:11):
Boa we're talking bick is it?

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Clearly? And now you read this.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Now, this is a developmental type player at this spot.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
This is a guy.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
This is a guy who you could see having an
impact on this roster. Probably gonna be a G league
talent early on in his career or do they call
it the D league?

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Who knows? And furthermore, who cares.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
What we care about is his development is a prospect
and this is a guy you're going to see you
get a lot of PT.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
In the summer league.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
And so congratulations to blah blah blah blah blah power
forwards from Denmark on his selection here at pick number thirty.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
J mcgergenson. That's real draft. That's good drafted. That's good draft.
Look at the love. It's great draft. That's how you
do the draft. Everybody thinks like, oh, you got to

(18:19):
know so much about sports this that hell no, man, no,
no no, I just got to know how to do.
You just gotta say picks in, Yeah, I just gotta read,
you know. And then the flapping happens, and then Ronnie
takes over from their beautifully done Robbie now bringing back
Key Shan talking about Luca can tell you of the
we got to blow the windsor change. I love this kid.

(18:42):
Look at his mom, look at those cans. How she's happy?
Is that his girlfriend or the mom? I don't know,
is that the dad or just some weird hanger on.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Uncle, you get it, thinks in the draft, Joe, look.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
At those two warheads. She's gunned up like the uss is.
It's like Fuji in Goodyear in the same room of
once he had it. Now, unfortunately, guys, we're sorry. The
Dodgers are going to start, so you're not gonna get
the petros Papadacres Jonas knocks super draft. What a bummer.
It is a little bit of a bummer. But imagine

(19:20):
how great Fred and Rodney would have been covered. Yeah,
that's a that's a that is a shame. I will
say this.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
You know something I've been doing for years on Fox
Sports Radio is the bottom ten mock draft of the
NFL to where I'll pick the bottom ten picks in
the draft.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
What a pain in the ass. What are you talking about?
What you like?

Speaker 3 (19:40):
You don't realize all picks number two forty six to
two fifty five, I'll do a model.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Well, those are just generally like favors to somebody's dad.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Oh yeah, but that's the best part. I nearly called
like two of those this year because what was it,
remember Mark Brunner, Yeah, yeah, the tight end. Oh then
his son got drafted by the Steelers.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
I did a game where that guy had like thirty tack.
That's a good stand friend, Well, what did this guy
take before the game?

Speaker 3 (20:03):
To your point when when I'm watching just sort of projecting,
all right, the Steelers have a bottom ten pick. I
just threw in Mark Brunner's son because all the relationship,
the ties with the family, the Steelers did end up
taking him because it's all about family ties at that point,
because you've already done your research. Nobody gives a rip
about pick two fifty. Nobody knows any of this stuff.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Well, it's all a guessing game. Care if it's brock Purty,
that is true. And then the winds have change, blowing
a young man's life, and then they blow all the
way through the Bay Area.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
By the way, talk about getting the chef Trey Lance.
If we're being honest, how bad most of that have
looked in practice for the Niners to be like, yeah,
we're good here. He didn't really get an opportunity, like
he got one or two games to be the starter.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Probably not just practice, would be my answer. You think
there was more. I think in the film room and beyond.
He did not project himself with leadership ability. It's like,
that's it. Yeah, I believe. So what we're going to
do is talk to Vassa in the very next segment.
I hope you felt good about that draft in action.
Oh it's great now, I know. See the next time

(21:03):
we do it, knowing is half the battle. The next
time we do it, I just needed some practice. The
next time we do it, I'm gonna hit a home run. Well,
the thing is we don't have that, you know, tomorrow
it's late night, Petros and money, and I'm a little
worried about you. I don't know what to do with
you tomorrow. Well, there's nothing worse, nothing worse than waiting

(21:23):
for a baseball game to finish, to come on, Like
I do feel like Dirk Diggler a little bit, like
it's my big member. Oh and I'm and I'm roller
girl and try to say you can't just trader like
a hole in the wall. That's roller girl.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Like we're in the walk in freezer? Is that what's after? No,
what I'm saying, I'm not talking about you, talking about me.
And I'm like, hey, I perform when I perform. If
I want to perform, I want to perform right now.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
I don't want to wait till they freaking pitch and
change and another. Then Fasset is gonna take another call.
It's like waiting around forever. I hate it. I was
like waiting the doctors off.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
I've done a couple of shows with you where we've
waited for games to finish, And there was one that
went so long we never went on the air.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
I didn't remember that.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
I think it was the UCLA. I think it was
the Big Ten Tournament. Yeah, and we just never went
on there.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
I was unhappy that I drove up for that.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
We don't We don't have great luck when it comes
to uh, when it comes to this stuff. So maybe
tomorrow turns who knows.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Well, see, maybe he'll get rained out. We'll do the
whole show. Oh look, hey, Petros, I'm from Redlands. I
once hit an eighty foot buzzer shot and had sex
with the prom queen. I'm now thirty seven years old
and a FedEx driver who could kick flip. You want
me to be your guest in Rancho Kook? Kind of yeah?

(22:39):
Who just sound like a pretty cool guy. Who are
the special guests? You know? I mean normally in the
eight oh five. I can tell you what we've done
in the past.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Well, normally in the eight oh five you roll out
the red carpet to luminaries like Don McClain and yourself
and Steve Hartman and yourself.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Some would argue that, well, we've had Troy Percival on
the past. Tommy Lasorda drove out there once for us.
He's dead. Now we'll stay with us. We got David
vest next from Corsefield, Petroson Money with Jonas Knox in
for Matt Rowland til four thirty. Thank you.

Now, Holding, he's the man that runs this dugout. He's
a security guy. Been here a long time, Don Held.

uncle Tommy in high school baseball. He was at Bishop

by the Pittsburgh Prey two Petros. Yeah, Marri lest high brother,
what you know about the Maria You're a pirates guy

(24:53):

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Huh? Well, I do like the Buccaneers. Yeah, but that's
just because of all the time I spent in Pittsburgh
going through West Virginia. All right, Dave was an exciting
to know.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
If you know a guy by the name of Dave ten.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
The great running back from marri Leste Polynesian.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
Oh yeah, Polynesian.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
I was bad.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
He knows it all right, you got street cred now.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
I had I rushed for more yards? And Dave ten anyway,
uh uh Dave. First of all, it was a fun
game last night. It felt like it was exciting, kind
of back and forth. Course, field is always wild. But
before we go any further, what happened with Blake Snell?
Anything new with Snell? Because until Snell is on the field,
I feel like we're all incomplete.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
I agree with Pat Snell. Philla threw a bullpen session yesterday.
He'll throw another one on Friday, and he'll start facing
hitters when the Dodgers come back on this Homestand.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
Dave, are the Rockies as bad as a record? I
know they won a few games since that just atrocious awful?

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Okay? But are they? Where are they ringing? He's not
on Rogan and Rodney right now? Treat him like he's
on this. Well, no, because I'm wondering.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
The same genius questions.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
I'm wondering where do they rank among some of the
worst teams you've seen and covered live?

Speaker 4 (26:10):
Well, they ranked right up there. With the White Sox
from last year. They were the ones that set the
loss record in Major League Baseball history one hundred and
twenty one losses last year for the White Sox, and
right now these Rockies of twenty twenty five are on
pace to break that record. One hundred and twenty five
losses is what they're on pace for. And safe to say,

(26:31):
but Black was not the reason why.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
What made last night fun, Dave, at least for those
of us that know you and know some of the history,
it was the Conforto dead fish handshake topic. Apparently you're
dead fish. Well, explain to us because this started what
last year with the DH, the America's DH, and now
it's you're using it to get Conforto going, and it

(26:55):
kind of worked.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah. Two seasons ago, Jad Martinez was struggling. The team
was in Atlanta and he did the pregame interview and
he saw the highlights of the slide heard around the world,
me breaking my wrists and ribs in Milwaukee one day
on MLB Network and ever since then he wanted to
be very gentle with my handshake, so we had the

(27:20):
dead fish handshake. So he did the pregame interview We
had some fun and that night he went off and
never looked back. Drove in one hundred runs that year
for the Dodgers. A couple of years ago. So Michael Conforto,
everybody very timid to go up to Conforto and ask
him questions. I invited him on the pregame show. He
did the interview and at the end, you know, I

(27:41):
spontaneous moment just said, Hey, this work for JD. Martinez
may be able to work for you. So we did
the dead Fish handshake live on the air and took
a photo of it.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
I saw the results.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
Yeah, stubble and a three run home run. First game
he's had multi RBI. That's in the same So after
the game last night, even though TV was very very
jealous boys Looso as he liked to say, Petros over
art connection in the dead Fish handshake, even when he
was done with that on field interview, he came over

(28:15):
and gave me the dead Fish handshake and said, I
felt like I never was going to make another out.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Is this going to turn into Is this going to
turn into eight days?

Speaker 4 (28:23):
It's funny about that.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Everyone gonna line up and John I was gonna say,
is this a daily routine. Now he's gonna be like
a priest giving a blessing that was going to come
up for the deaf. Uh, well, why are they scared
to talk to Conforno? Dave? Why why are people are
so timid to talk to Conforna because he's been so bad?

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yeah, he's been in a season long swamp and everybody's
just being weird about it. Why not just talk about it?
Guys a great guy, he'll own up to it. And
you know he, uh, he came to a safe place
and explained it. But here's the catch. In all seriousness,
Michael Conforto got fitted for his own personal bat. Right.
They hooked him up to some wires. They customized a

(29:03):
baseball bat for him, to lighter bat than what he's
been using all season long. He's had trouble catching up
to the fastball, so you know, even uh, Fletcher Papadakis
could relate to that. Well, no doubt that you're not
catching up to the fastball, go to a lighter bat.
So all of that really made make the difference for Conforto.
We'll see how it goes tonight.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
I mean, how patient are they going to be with him?
If this is just one night he has a couple
of hits.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
I mean, are we looking at it? It's not just
it's a dead fish. I mean he could this is
straight to the moon.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Alex, I mean, yeah, does this get Because I heard
Fred talking before the show, he considers.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Oh yeah, I'm sure he had all the answers that.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
He's out of the slump. He thinks the Conforto's out
of the slump.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Now, so is this.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
A pie We're going to lose our gast to what.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Do you mean just pointing out that that's what Fred
had and had said, that's his belief.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
They can don't get out of a slump in one game.
Let's see how it goes tonight. And you know, the
the reality is between now and July thirty, first, he's
got to prove that he belongs on this team or
they're going to move on and try to find somebody
that can because we're again getting down to the stretch
run just over a month until the trade deadline, and

(30:16):
if they don't get more production from Conforto, they may
have to move on.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
What's up with Mookie? I mean both Freddy Freeman, maybe
he would have if they had counted that a hit
and not an air or maybe that would have gotten
him out of his slump. But Mookie bats was talking
last night about trying everything he can to stop being
so mediocre. Is is shortstop taking a toll on him?

Speaker 4 (30:38):
I don't. I mean maybe mentally Petros, because when you're
playing shortstop you don't get to take a pitch off,
and right field you have a lot of downtime. But
when you're playing the infield, and especially the most important
position on the infield, shortstop, you can never take a
pitch off. And last year we saw Mooki do really
well offensively, but this year hasn't resembled what we've seen

(31:01):
in his career. And my understanding is it's the mechanical
where his hands are need to be in the right spot,
but also confidence wise, he's a guy that incredibly deals
with confidence issues. So the results he got last night,
hopefully he can build up upon that tonight.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
David Veasse is our guests. He's got jj spawn us

(31:44):
you got spawn on the US Open champ he's a
Dodger fan. Is he a good interview for you?

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Yeah, he's a great interview and he's from Sandymis, home
of your favorite place, reaching waters.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Let's go see.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
It's a john He's not a Johnny Cumme lately Dodger
fan either. He's been a fan since Easier Kemp days,
so you know he's legit.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Kershaw is only eight away from three thousand, Dave, do
you feel the pressure building? And will that pressure bust
the pipe known as Clayton Kersher By the way, Fred
said it'll take four starts.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
What did he say that?

Speaker 6 (32:22):
No?

Speaker 2 (32:23):
God, you know I'm losing my dad. What do you mean?

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Come on, well, grab ass in the afternoon.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Never heard anybody? He doesn't like it.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
It's fine, it's fine.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Tell me about Kershaw being eight away and then we'll
let you go.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
Yes, Kershaw's eight away. He doesn't seem to be really
fixating on it. It's a family trip for the Dodger
players and families. He was out here pitching banning practice
to his son Charlie. Look, I personally believe it'll be
perfect for him to achieve this goal at home. I
feel like he just needs to put himself in position

(33:03):
to get three thousand strikeouts at home against the White Sox. So,
like I said last night, the over under I'm setting
is six and a half. I feel like he'll get
at least five or six tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
All right, Dave, before we go, Yamamoto's had a rough June.
Will it turn around tonight in a very very volatile place?

Speaker 4 (33:24):
I believe so against this team. It's the worst offense
in baseball. So I know coursefield is a wild card
for any pitcher, but I feel like today is the
day that he exudes his dominance once again.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Thank you, Dave. Thanks Dave.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
You're welcome, Petros.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Do you know what He's gonna be here again tomorrow.
We're gonna have to make I'm.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
Tied up tomorrow, travel day.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Okay, Dave, have a great night, and you'll see Dave
on TV in Kansas City. I haven't been this embarrassed
since Tom Looney was here with me. Why you embarrassed?
You embarrassed me in front of our gap. Really I'm

(34:11):
gonna have to I'm gonna have to take a break
and cool off, and then I'll tell you what Tom
Looney did. Okay, because what Tom Looney did was worse
than OJ slave and over a hot microphone. Oh the
biggy Biggnie. Oh no love Looney. Well, I'm not saying
I don't love Tom Looney. I'm saying what he did
I'm never gonna get over and not since I never

(34:31):
thought anybody would ever do it to me again on
the air like you just did. And what you've done
is worse than OJ. And I will explain it next.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Hello, PMS listener, Did you know A M five seventy
LA Sports has a wide range of LA sports podcasts.
There's Rogan and Rodney.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
That one is my favorite, Dodger Talk with David Vasse,
the Dodger Podcast of record, Clipper Talk Without a Musk,
follow us all and many more.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Just go to AM five to seventy LA Sports on
the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
We're live on the iHeartRadio app. We just talked to
Davids and Vassay was really unhappy with Jonas. Uh why
was he unhappy with Jonas? Well, I'll tell you why
Vassay has a real wild hair for the midday show,
So any questions coming from anybody he associates with the

(35:41):
midday Show, uh, he's going to be combative and short winded.
And Jonas thought it was like, you know, cool, and
thought he was like, you know, shadow boxing with Joe Lewis,
which made Vassay very angry. Did you hear that? Kate
pretty ugly? And now Jonas is like, what did I do?

(36:01):
What did I do? And I'm like, man, what if
you f uh uh? And I've not been this embarrassed. Now,
there was a time apologize. No, no, don't no, no, no,
just mega works. There was a time. Listen to me,
I'm gonna tell him. Fred told me to apologize. No,
don't do that. Don't bring Fred in, don't call Fred Kates.

Speaker 5 (36:24):
There's only one other time I remember it was that
bad exactly. I think I know where you're going.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Thank you. There was a time, and we love Tom Looney.
They were like, you know what, Tom Looney's a fun guy.
Why don't we have him into co host? You know
Matt's out, We're gonna have Looney in. Now this was back.
You can imagine how long ago this was because a
guy named what is it Mike Mike Mayock. Yeah, not
Mark Mayock, because I played football with a guy named
Mark Maytalk. He's passed away. I believe God rest his soul.

(36:52):
But Mark Mike Mayok NFL Networks, the guy that overdrew
on the telestrator for years ago years, Remember that guy? Yeah,
and was the big king guy, the king ass, some
would say, in the world of the draft. And it
was like around the NFL Draft time, and we got

(37:12):
Mayok coming on our show and Looney is in as
the co host, and like an idiot to be nice,
I let Looney ask him the first question. Do you
know what Looney led with did worse than what you did?
Almost but what you did is inexcusable. But Looney led
Do you remember Kate?

Speaker 3 (37:31):
I can I take a guess? I remember how's the
steakhouse in Indie?

Speaker 2 (37:35):
No?

Speaker 5 (37:35):
Worse?

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Even worse? Like, why don't you guys do what the
FBI and the police do when there's a kid missing
or something? Why don't you use psychics? Why don't you
use clairvoyance to figure out who's going to be the
best in the draft? And you know Mayock is a
chap ass, angry guy with an edge, and I've lost him.

(38:00):
You know, I was supposed to do a twelve minute
interview with a guy. He did not ask that. That's
that was the first question. And I'm looking at Looney like,
you know, I'm all for grab ass, but like, can
we at least get the spruce goose out of the water.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
You guys are gonna you guys are gonna put me
on the same category as Looney.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
I wasn't exactly the same. I waited till the end. No,
it started early and you were being antagonistic. Was not
being antagonistic? Word, dude, you were like one of those
protesters standing in front of the car. No. I was
asking David question, so you know you're a fleshy white chicken.
Her leg run over.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
I was asking David question and he said, uh, you know,
say more on a question or something like it.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Something like that. He asked it. Do you heard that right?
Kate's like, where do you? I mean, Kate's you produced
the show? I mean, you know, I.

Speaker 5 (38:52):
Almost drove off the road just now coming back from
the Concordia University of Irvine. How was at Low's feelis
He's gonna make a word. It's just gonna make it worse.
It's gonna make it worse.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Hey, we're gonna have to have him on tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (39:05):
Let me let me just text Dave and like kind
of ease it, Like, hey, Dave man that dead fish
handshake things.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
I love what you did with the man. Hold on
a second.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
So Tom Looney has Mike Mayock on to talk about
the draft and basically says, why don't you guys use
missus cleo to to find out who's use a palm
reader or a psychic sign more.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Reputable sign to lead off the interview with the first
question and you're the big intro and the big masturbation.
That's what he led with. And it was a lead ballue.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
And you think that that's on the same level as
some nipple twisting about Fred and Rodney in the afternoons,
without a doubt, same level.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Oh oh my god, I don't see. Honestly, I don't
know how we can go forward. We got another hour
and a half, an hour and a half tomorrow and uh,
but you know there is uh with all seriousness, you
noticed this Kates right, there's a real edge from Vassa
when anybody associated with the Midday Show says anything.

Speaker 5 (40:11):
It's weird. I can't figure it out.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
It's just weird. Well, and that's why, like I, you know,
I kind of want to just stop Jonas from doing
the midday show so we can work on the relationships.

Speaker 5 (40:21):
No, I can't stop anybody from working. Well, Fred Rodney
take a lot of time off.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Yeah, but maybe somebody else can lay on that grenade,
you know. I mean, this poor guy's just getting blown up.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Just you know, a little fun fact Dave when show
Hey Otani, When'tani officially signed with the Dodgers, I reached
out to Dave and he came home with me on
Saturday on Fox Sports Radio, and we talked about the deal.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Like I thought, Dave and I got along. I thought
everything was fine.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
I didn't know that, you know, mentioning Fred was going
to steer me into a ditch with Dave.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Wow, I mean you're not the only one. Dave's got
a big issue with Ben Maller really yeah, oh yeah,
that I know. There's a lot of vitry all there.
You know.

Speaker 5 (41:07):
It actually starts on the morning show when I do
it with Saxy in October. We'll have Dave on every
morning you know, and sometimes he's tired because it's seven
thirty in the morning he's been up till midnight the
night before the Superman Complex, and Saxy'll ask him a question.
It's like, Steve, that's a great question, you know. You know, right, Saxy,
you play, you understand, and then I'll ask him a
questions like well, I don't know where you came now
with that one, Tim, but uh, it's like I can

(41:28):
never do anything right. I can't ask the right question.
I can't say the right thing in front of Steve
Sax because Sax is there.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
Yeah, lack of sleep does an old water with me. Sorry,
you know, based on my schedule, you know, I I
you know yourself. I'm just saying I'm not going to
take anybody's head off for asking a question, especially my
co workers.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
I'm not going to do that. I appreciate that you're
sitting there holding your head right now like the headless Horseman, dude,
and in uh in sleepy Hollow, because Dave, that apology
is halfway written right now. Don't do it, dude. Don't
tell me to go a third line. Hey, I don't
really know what your problem is, man, Just try to
do a show out here. You guys, you can appreciate that.
You guys keep gassing it up.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
I'm going a third and fourth line.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
You guys said the facility was destroyed and it's not.
You must have you moved some of that uranium. I
know what you did, son of a bitch. Yeah, it's
a long way to the top. Show us. You know,
you can't just come on here like some geek off
the street and ask a baseball question a Dodger reporter

(42:32):
David Masse on AM Radio. Who do you think you are? You,
son of a bitch? Only you could be so bold,
Darth Vader. That's unfortunate.

Speaker 5 (42:44):
It's just the worst day too, because the dead fish
handshake thing has just really got David.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
And oh yeah, he's feeling good. He's sewing his oats
and that thin air up there.

Speaker 5 (42:55):
I mean, he's turned the career around of not one,
but two Dodger outfielders. I mean, you guys try and
dismiss it. I think it's a legitimate handshake. I think
we should all do it. I don't know why we
can't be more supportive of Dave.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
More brilliant insights from our co host coming up. So
you guys use psychics. You guys ever think about that's
not real. There's no way that's a real question. Stay
with us.
