Fact is sponsored today university.

I didn't know if you had it.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
It's a friend. Now we're all excited.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
It's brought to you by Concordia University, Irvine's Masters and
Coaching an Athletic Administration program. It just pops up right
on your feet. It's a fat Over five thousand coaches
and administrators have graduated from their Master's program at Concordia.
It does a great job. Find out more at cuy
edu slash coaching.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Well, speaking of education, did you know Roman emperor Marcus
Aurelius Andtonius brought the power into eighteen CE. At the
age of fourteen, invented a prototype whoope cushion at his dinners.
Many of his friends he used to seat on air
pillows instead of cushions, and would sneak behind them and

(02:44):
let out the year while they were dining, making a
flatulence sound. Eighteen hundred plus years we have had whoopee cushions.
They have endured, they sure have.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
And that little cup with the string of.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
The ball, Oh can't get over ball and cup?

Speaker 4 (03:04):
He jump. Bro man, all right, you know what, I
got to switch it up and I'll do the longer
word of the day tomorrow or something.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
But his words the word of the day.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Today's word of the day is record breaking. The twenty
twenty five Speedway Classic is coming up. It is going
to be a game at the Bristol Speedway in Tennessee,
and eighty five thousand tickets are being sold for it.
It's going to be the Braves and the Reds that

(03:38):
the Dodgers are playing right now, so they will set
the attendance record. Eighty five thousand people are going to
watch a Major League Baseball game at the Bristol Speedway.
It will eclipse the previously paid attendance record of eighty
four thousand, five hundred and eighty seven set on September
twelfth in nineteen fifty four when Cleveland Stadium hosted the

(04:00):
New York Yankees. That would be old school Indians with
the real hook nosed Chief Wahoo versus the Yankees. So
they got people purchasing tickets from all fifty states and
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and nine countries and
four continents. The MLB is really going to unfurl their

(04:24):
manhood for the Speedway Classic, which is set to make history.
Cincinnati Reds, Atlanta Braves. Will you watch?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
I love that. I've actually been to the Bristol Night
Race in NASCAR. It's one of the few NASCAR races
I've been to, and I don't quite feel like it's
that historic of a venue.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
Oh, come on, Matt. For baseball, I went to the
Coliseum game right when we first started the radio Dodgers
Red Sox. It was an exhibition and it was sold out.
The Coliseum had I don't know what the paid attendance was,
but it wasn't a Major League baseball game. It was
an exhibition, so it wouldn't be up for this, and
I remember we had to leave early because a giant

(05:08):
moth flew into my wife's airge she lost her mind.
It's time for the Number of the day.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Here's my number to number of the day.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Number of the day is four. So have the Hall
of Fame game. You'll hear it right here on AM
five to seventy Chargers versus Lions. It is Thursday, kickoff
right around five pm. As I'm putting together a bunch
of prep for that game over the weekend and undrafted
free agent expect quite a few of those guys to
play a pretty good chunk of that game. Someone you

(05:40):
may have called one of his games, pe Miles Purchase,
a corner from Iowa State. Yes, I know the man
Miles Purchase was one quarter of perhaps the greatest nil
deal in the history of nil deals.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yes, we had this on air.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
The Iowa Pork Producers Association enlisted Miles Purchase and his
teammates Tyler Moore, Tommy Hammon, and Caleb Bacon to form
the quartet Purchase more Hammon, Bacon courtesy of the Iowa

(06:22):
Pork Producers Association. To me, that's that is why we
love ni l.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Well, that's what nil should be. Purchase purchase more ham,
ham and bacon.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I mean, that's it, purchase.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
I bought her dream bag and I've not taken a
meaningful snap.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Take a snap yet, but one of one of the
best nuggets as as you know, because you did it
as well, one of the best nuggets I've found while
you're trying to find.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
You know, they would all sit together, you know.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
And you would see their names right next together.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yeah, they'd all sit, you know, side by side by side,
and if one of them made a play, you could
throwing up there and you know, there it is hit
a production home run. All right, guys, we're gonna go
with the purchase moreham, purchase just at a pick? Are
we gonna go with the purchase more ham? Now we
gotta go break son of a Bitch. We'll be looking
forward to the game as we'll be airing it and

(07:17):
many of those tidbits. Matt with Daniel Jeremiah a very
bitter man at the airport in your call and shennon fair,
it's start of the song of the day.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
This is the song of the day.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
Yeah, Today's song of the day is called Middle America

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Mayberry All right, joining us right now from the Queens City,
the one and only David Vase.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Vasse Report with David Vasse, brought to you.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
By Service Titan. It's our Dodger reporter, David Vase from
Spectrum Sportsnet MLB Network and right here on AM five
seventy LA Sports on your Southern Californi on your Toyota
Dealer Celebrity Hotline. Dave powered his way through Boston, had
a great time in a historic city, and now he's
found himself in Cincinnati. How's it going, Dave?

Speaker 6 (10:13):
Oh? I mean, how can it get better? Going from
Boston to Cincinnati?

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Matt? Matt and you both loved the city of Cincinnati
so much, and we were so big. We were so
big there back in the syndication days of the Petro
sid Money Show, Dave who was the real winner in
Boston the fans.

Speaker 6 (10:35):
Yeah, I would say the fans were the biggest winners.
The Dodgers certainly weren't as their struggles continue, losing two
out of three to the Red Sox yesterday, leaving nine
men on base in the first six innings and allowing
Walker Buehler to be a rooster on Instagram like he
threw a complete game shutout when instead he was taken

(10:56):
out of the game in the fifth inning after five walks,
including walk in or run. And the Dodgers had so
many opportunities to make that a blowout game and they
missed them. And as far as the fans go, even
Alex Corus said when he was playing with the Dodgers,
the fans did not travel like that, and he had
never seen another fan base come to Fenway Park and

(11:18):
take over the way the Dodgers did over these three
games at Fenway Park. There were a lot of Dodger
fans everywhere you walked in Boston, in the back bay
and everywhere. So they certainly had the right days lined
up to have a four day weekend out there in Boston.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Pretty great to give the East Coast a little taste
of their own medicine. As they regularly say, the Yankee
and the Red Sox fans take over Angel and Dodger Stadium. Dave,
was it fair? Is it fair to put kind of
what seems to be put on Dustin May? I mean,
I know it was a bad fifth, and obviously Bregman
just rifled that ball over the monster, But Confordo misplays it.

(11:57):
He gets no help early with all those guys left
in scoring position. Kind of like, what was your takeaway
with how he pitched and how that may go into
determining whether or not he's on this club in about
four days.

Speaker 6 (12:09):
Well, I don't believe the way he pitched yesterday is
going to is going to determine that it's about the
numbers game. And Dave Roberts even said this before yesterday's game.
They have to make a decision on Sheehann or Dustin May.
One of those two guys is going to the Dodger
bullpen the other, especially in May's case, I don't know
what you do with him if he's on this team

(12:31):
after Thursday. So you know, in spring training, Dustin May
said that he would do anything, being a starter or
a reliever. But you have to imagine being a free
agent at the end of the year. It's not ideal.
But you know, I was just talking to a couple
of Reds pitchers and they were telling me he would
be devastating in a postseason series coming out of the

(12:51):
bullpen with his stuff. But yeah, the Dodgers had opportunities.
But he made a two nothing game, a three to
two games in a blink of an eye. And I'm
not sure why he threw that sweeper to Bregman yesterday.
He left it right in the heart of the plate.
He struck out Bregman earlier in the game on his fastball,

(13:13):
so he just falls in love with that pitch way
too much.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
David Vasse joining us right now, speaking of a guy
becoming a reliever, is that what they're going to do
with Bobby Miller. He's transporting himself from the starting world
into the reliever world.

Speaker 6 (13:31):
Yeah, it seems like it's been a lost season for
Bobby Miller as a starter. He just hasn't put it together.
And I suggested this two months ago. You know, why
not make.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Him a reliever.

Speaker 6 (13:42):
He throws one hundred miles an hour, He's got a
great change up that reminds me of a guy by
the name of Eric Ganie who was a failed starter
almost traded to the Blue Jays in the off season
of one into two, and all of a sudden turned
into one of the game's best closer for a four
year period. He used a fastball he used to change up.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Now.

Speaker 6 (14:05):
I don't know if Bobby Miller is going to reach
those heights, but certainly he can use those two pitches
to be a good relief pitcher.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Dave, you mentioned the bullpen and the fact that Sheen
or may are going to go there, Just like in
terms of what that means for the timetable of Blake
Snell's return. I saw you posted just the dominant outing
he had in Triple A. Is is he ready to
go right now?

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (14:31):
Yeah, He's going to be pitching in Tampa and it
feels like it's going to be Friday.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Well there we go.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
How much will that change things for the yo yo
yo yo yo yo yo ya yo ya.

Speaker 6 (14:42):
I mean, now you have the rotation that everybody talked
about going into the season, and now it's coming to
fruition with Glass. Now backs Nell's coming back this weekend,
Otani is being stretched out to four or five innings now, Yamamoto,
Kershaw and and Sheen if you want to go even further.
So this is the Dodgers starting rotation now. They just

(15:05):
got to get their position players healthy and get this
offense rolling again.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
How much does the controversy with the Cleveland closer play
into how different the Dodgers will approach the trade deadline, Dave,
If at all? I guess we always expect big things
of the trade deadline, and that's not necessarily what happened.

Speaker 6 (15:27):
Yeah, I hadn't been hearing Classe's name a lot as
connected to the Dodgers. I know other people were trying
to make it a thing. Stephen Kwan is still an
outside possibility. There's been reports the Guardians are listening on
Stephen Kuan, But how does he fit? Then all of
a sudden, you're basically saying, hey, Song Kim, sorry, you're

(15:48):
not going to play every day because where does Tommy
Edman play and where does all the pieces fit? So
it would be kind of moving a lot of pieces
at the trade deadline if you're going to acquire a
guy like kwand and then the Dodgers may be interested
in entering the free agent market for Kyle Tucker this
off season. So you know, I just feel like a

(16:10):
rental is more realistic. Oh, the big three are walking
into Great American Ballpark right now. Rick Monday, Jose Mota,
and Joe Davis. Also, we could not be dressed any
differently as they walk into this ballpark.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Oh yeah, what do we got walk us through a Dave,
pardon the pun.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
Now, I haven't been in the locker room yet. Rick
Monday's got a beautiful blue polo button down on. Joe
Davis has got his Dodger blue Navy blue Dodger polo on.
Jose Mota Actually his shirt shrunk because of the humidity here,
so he's trying to show his biceps in cal State Fullerton.
So you know, now they're going up in the elevator.
But that's the scene here. Everybody is thrilled to be

(16:50):
in Cincinnati, great inscription.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
The Queen City.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Why wouldn't you be thrilled to be there? Real quick, Dave,
I saw you know some rumors you ignore. We like
Bob Nightingale a lot. He kind of echoed what you
were suggesting a little bit last week when we talked
to you, and you just kind of discussed that position
player may be ahead of reliever, even he talked about
them calling on closers, but he feels like there's definitely
a position player that's going to be acquired. Do you

(17:15):
feel like that's kind of the way this thing might shake.

Speaker 6 (17:17):
Out, a right handed position player, specifically that plays the
outfield like a Harrison Vader. I know he wrote about that.
It makes complete sense they need a right handed bat,
especially with the uncertainty surrounding Key k Hernandez's return. So yeah,
I don't believe that Dodgers are solely focusing on a

(17:39):
right handed reliever. They're looking to upgrade their outfield to
end their offense with a right handed bat.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
What do you got? Gavin Lots on the pregame.

Speaker 6 (17:47):
Lux is going to join us tomorrow. He's not going
to receive his World Series ring until the Reds come
to Dodger Stadium so he could be celebrated properly.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
All right, Well, David Vasse, stay with us and you
will hear him like you heard, he's happy to be
in Cincinnati. But there were a lot of Dodger fans
in the back Burger Bay of Boston. Thank you, Dave,
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Guys, Thanks Dave.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
A lot of Dodger fans in the back burger.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
It's impressive. It's not the original, but it's impressive.

Upper middle class, British upbringing, smart child, many interests, few friends.
She liked painting, painting mushrooms like death cap mushrooms like
the Lady of Melbourne.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Your favorite.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
But she was a good scientific research artist, but ran
into a lot of nineteenth century sexism trying to publish
her stuff. But she was artistic and she launched an
artistic and literary career. She was influenced by whom Shakespeare
and the Brothers, Grim and Bible stories. She became it's

(21:49):
most famous. And I know this is gonna confound you
in a way, man, okay, because how much you love
James Corden. But it was actually Beatrix, who is behind
the original tales of Peter Rabbit.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Oh, I love Peter Rabbit.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
Well, this is the Peter Rabbit that's in a book,
Matt with pictures, not the movie that you're most familiar
with that you love with your favorite chubby, effeminate actor
slash comedia slash talk show host, mister James Corner.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
I do love thee My mother read me The Peter
Rabbit when I was a wee lad.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Don't try to act. Don't don't make up history about
your life and Peter Rabbit just to cover for the
fact that you were certain that James Cornyn was the
end a all be all, As.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Lebron would say, no doubt, there was no such thing
as Peter Rabbit before I was cost in the role.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
You want to make up a whole thing for yourself, fine,
I'll live the lie with you.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Asted Sharon to score the film, but apparently forgot what
I did for his career.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
So, unlike Matt knowing this, I actually did some research
about that. The real Peter Rabbit came from a series
of illustrated letters that she wrote to the son of
her friend to entertain the boy while he was bedridden.
With scarlet fever. Oh and the friend who was her

(23:19):
like Matrons or her governess's son. The governess said you
should publish this. It has sold forty five million copies.
It is one of the best selling books of all time.
The Tales of Peter Rabbit. The boy was named Noel

(23:40):
Moore No More Yeah, nineteen oh two. By nineteen oh
three she had figured out how to market and patent
of Peter Rabbit. Doll Chick was way ahead of it.
She married a farmer on a farm MI, a farm

(24:01):
that she bought and started to farm sheep. A long,
productive life. Lots of books. None of them got bigger
than Peter Rabbit, but they A lot of them are
very popular too. The Squirrel kind of Yeah, The Squirrel
of Nutkin, Miss Moppet, many wu tang like offshoots from

(24:24):
the Peter Rabbit stories, like Pussing Boots.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
I don't think I remember any of them.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Miss tig Tiggy Winkle.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
I did not do Miss stiggy Winkle either.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
Benny Bunny, Benjam Benny Bunny, Benny Blanco.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
From the Bronx, Oh, Pete Rabbit was it.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
She died at seventy seven and nineteen forty three, a
British hero Beatrix Potter.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
We stayed with the arts. A live guy. Hard to
believe that. Gerald Cassali is seventy seven years old today,
born in Ohio. In high school. He is the co
founder of Devo. By the way, in seventy seven, he
played in a band pretty well, that's pretty all right.

(25:10):
He played in a band called the Numbers Band when
he was in high school, played bass with Terry Hind
Chrissy Hin's brother, but he got thrown out for acting up.
He would wear like monkey masks on stage and do
Devo stuff, you know, and Terry hn was, you know, like,
hey man, this is a serious band.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
Man.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
He's like, f you, We're in high school. Let's efron
and they kicked him out. So the seeds of Devo
were planted in the late sixties, with each of the
founding members playing around Kent State in various outfits and
together a little bit. But ultimately they started the concept
project called de Evolution, and it was Gasali and Bob

(25:47):
Lewis that were doing art, that were doing performance art.
They connected with Mark mothers Law. In nineteen seventy he
was playing in a different band called Flossy bobbit at
Ken State.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
Oh Flossy Bob. Nobody floss arterer than Bobba.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
No Bob had flost the hardest, and you know they
liked being goofy, a little left the center, a little
off the rails. And sadly it was tragedy that kind
of launched Devo, the Kent State massacre May fourth, nineteen seventy.
Cassally was right there. He witnessed it. He lost two friends,
Jeffrey Miller Alison Krause, and then he said they got

(26:23):
serious about Devo, formed the band. They were a sexted.
Originally they would play the Kent State Performing Arts Festival.
They filmed it, they released it on VHS. It was
called The Complete Truth about de Evolution, and that was
kind of their deal for a while. That was sort
of movies and videos before the rise of music videos.

(26:45):
It wasn't necessarily records and seven inches or any of
that sort of stuff. They were kind of more of
like this art sort of thing that started getting some
ground swell. David Bowie saw that film in seventy six
and sent it to Warner Brothers, saying you should sign
these guys. Neil Young saw it, and then had Casali
film part of his Human Highway and the band performed

(27:08):
a little bit in that, and Warners was like, all right, well,
I guess two of our guys are making as munch
of money like them. So they signed Devo. They had
Brian Eno produce their first release. This was their first single, Jockohomo.
And then and then they got a bunch of exposure
when Saturday Night Live booked them the week after the

(27:30):
Rolling Stones and they did their cover if I Can't
Get No Satisfaction. Whippett was recorded in seventy nine. We
kind of think of it as eighties, but and it was.
It came out like I don't know, February of nineteen
