of the Summer Tour that we have two Summer Tour
stops in the same week. The Saturn Track advantage of
Dodgers Angels on Wednesday at Angel Stadium, and then we're
heading all the way out to the eight oh five
thousand Oaks Rantley Hill Brewing is the etherier thing confirmed.
(04:29):
I believe it is right, not confirm one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Wow top response there. Ye, it happened right into a while,
right face, right into the pan.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
They said they did not want to comment because it's
a nothing story. They don't have time, simply did not
have times, simply did not have.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Turn fire department. They turned down our request for an interview.
They told us this is a nothing story and they
simply didn't have time to talk with us about what happened.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Matt. We had three of it's last week, you know.
We started out the week at Chargers.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Right of Chargers training.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Later a happier time.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And then Thursday inside the locker room, really upset fred
with the really upset Freddy sabotaged our refrigerator with.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
The bond of brothers. And then we had the big
tour stop on Friday at HQs. So we're all girded
up for this week. We're ready to go, We're ready
to rock, we're ready to roll. So we'll see you
in Thousand Oaks if you're up there. We'll see you
at Buryax on Wednesday, if you're down there. And it's
time now for the top story of the day, Story
(05:37):
of day.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, Dave, I say we'll be able to piggyback on
this or at least provide some clarity to many of
the things we will explore in this moment. But p
as it stands right now, in this very moment, four
to ten pm time check on Monday, August eleventh. Did
you know the Dodgers are a wild card team, a
(06:01):
wild card to a four hundred million dollars right.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Like winning the division would get them into the wild.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Card exactly right. They have been surpassed after their loss
yesterday by the Phillies and the Brewers. The Brewers have
the best record in the National League.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Well, they earned it. They beat the Dodgers seven out
of seventy the.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Hell out of them. The Phillies are a half game
better at sixty and forty eight to the Dodgers sixty
and forty nine. In the standings right now sixty eight
and fifty, I should say, the Dodgers are sixty eight
and fifty the Philadelphia Phillies sixty eight and forty nine, meaning,
as it currently stands, the Dodgers would not have a
(06:47):
pass into the Divisional Round. They would have to play
the extra round of baseball. And that means as of
right now, in this moment, they would be taking on
you guessed it, the New York Mets.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
WHOA, I thought you're gonna say, San Diego.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
It should be the Padres. But the Mets have been
an absolute tire fire. They have lost eleven of twelve
and seven in a row. So they once had a
firm grip on the number one wild card spot. That
has changed dramatically over the last week and a half.
But I will say, when I woke up this morning
trying to figure out how to construct this top story
of the day, Dodgers focused. Of course, after taking two
(07:29):
of three out of the best team in the American League.
You thought it would be a celebration, but instead, because
of the manner in which they lost that game yesterday,
that there is a dark cloud around Well, let's see
there is a dark let me see it this way.
There is a dark lining around the silver cloud that
(07:49):
was taking two out of three, Blake Snell getting the
big victory pitching dominant baseball on Saturday this weekend because
the manner in which they lost that game, and Kate,
I don't know if you can pull up that Dave
rob sound Uh, well, I don't. I don't ever remember.
I am not certain, Dave, I'm sure who's been with
the team forever and obviously all of last year, the
(08:12):
first year that Otani was there. I don't ever remember
Dave Roberts let alone in the manner in which he
did here in great detail ever taking a shot at
Shoe Oltani and he went after him yesterday.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
This is frustrating. This is frustrating because I just felt
there's no way we should lose this game today given
the pitching for performance that we got from Glass and
you know, they expended everyone in the pen and we
had him on the ropes numerous times, and for us
not to win today is just a frustrating one. The
last thing I was thinking, you know, he was going
(08:47):
to strike out, but in that situation, you know, the
guy doesn't have a big fastball and you got to
stay in the middle of the field and that's just
we got to come up with one right there. And
you know, chasing the ball down below is something that
we can't that you know, Uh, you know, we can't
have happened. You know, we can't have happened.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Can't have a guy who is trending to.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Have the time the top of us one, two.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Or three in the MVP race.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
And we also heard something there, Pe And perhaps because
your memory is considerably better than mine, I was trying
to remember the nickname that Gomer shared with us this
last time he came on, because we asked him if
we could say Yama, yeah, and then he he said
somebody else and we're like, oh, can we use that? Yeah,
(09:36):
that's right. It was uh for Freeze Freeze Freezy for
Alex Freeland, for Alex Freeland. We're like, oh, can we
use that? So I do want to say after hearing
that too from Dave Roberts. We now have another one
that we've got to ask. Can we call glass now? Glass?
You know glass? Oh yeah, that was glass pitched so
(09:56):
well out there. So now we got glass.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
He likes, he likes to come on and throw him around, right,
you're you know he's he likes it.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
So I do want to point out, as we are
keeping tabs.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
That's like what Sarks stated, had a bunch of beers
with Vassay. It's like, hey, he likes, he likes, he
likes it, man, he likes he likes the nicknames we got.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
They turned down our request for an interview. They told
us this is a nothing story, and they said we
didn't have time to talk with us.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I spent some time putting this store together. Geez uh.
So now as we are keeping track. Courtesy of Ron Washington,
Frederick for Freddie Freeman. All right, Frederick, we got Tayo,
not thea oscar, but Tayo. We got Yama instead of Yamamoto.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Now we got glass for glass. Now we got free.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Always we've always had kersh.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
We've always had cursh in months. No months was new,
Oh that's what it was. It was months. It was
sach freak when it was because we were asking about
Max Monsey coming back and he said months, and we
asked if we can call him months, and then we
talked about his demeanor whenever he joins us that maybe
that would not be received all.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
That way surly shurlish.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
So we now have so we have another one to
add to the list, is what I'm getting that. But yeah,
wild card team the Dodgers have lost, have lost eighteen
of their last thirty three games. They are fifteen and
eighteen since the All Star break. Meanwhile the Padres twenty
one and thirteen. All you that same stretch.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Familiarity in us using nicknames is going to improve things.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
No, But what I do think, hey, Months, but I
do think you really liked it out the lineup? Is
that perhaps something that we addressed last week, And a
lot of people raise their eyebros. They're like, ooh, Petrosen
money show taking a shot out. We weren't taking a
shot at Otani. We simply asked the question of hey man,
this guy's striking out a lot.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
That's right, you said that, Matt.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
And then we were wondering whether or not Dave Roberts
is going to be able to insert him self into
this as you would assume, even though he secured himself,
as the kids like to say, the bag in the
past offseason after the World Series championship, extending him and
making him one of the highest paid managers in all
of baseball, whether or not, sooner or later we'd see
(12:15):
Dave Roberts kind of raise his hand or raise his voice.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
He's got a nick Dave too, doc big opened.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Can't have it happen, you know, we can't have happened.
And again, I think Dave will confirm in the next segment,
but I do believe that's the first time that we've
heard him really take Otani the task, especially through the
meat Well, how else would we know if he did
it in the media.
Speaker 9 (12:39):
It's a frustrating one. No, the last thing I was thinking,
you know, he was going to strike out. But in
that situation, you know, the guy doesn't have a big
fastball and you got to stay in the middle of
the field, and that's just we got to come up
with one right there, and you know, chasing the ball
down below something that we can't that you know that,
you know we can't have happened.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
And you know what We talked to Tim Salmon in
the last hour. We pointed out the is lead baseball
with eleven and forty seven strikeouts. It's one of the
reasons why they're not in the postseason picture. But the Dodgers, hey,
they're kind of there. The Dodgers are not far behind me.
I said, the Dodgers are at nine hundred ninety seven strikeouts,
(13:18):
and I think yesterday is a prime example of what
has plagued this team and has gone unchecked for far
too long. All the TNY has to do is put
that ball into play. Just put the ball into play,
and you got to run and instead strikeout followed by
a routine grounder from Mookie Betts. The art of eating
(13:40):
has disappeared, and it cost the Dodgers a big victory yesterday,
and that loss means they are now a wild card
team playing in the wild card round as it stands today,
and that's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
We did ring, We did ring the alarm last week,
Matt and.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
People called it. You know, they people come after the
Panic Brothers. It's like sometimes the Panic Brothers are ahead
of the curve.
Speaker 9 (14:05):
I'm going to chasing the ball down below something that
we can't that you know that, you know, we can't
have happened.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
No bad baseball play. That's what Dave said.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Right now, we're in the wildcard route.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
We're the first to criticize O Taani.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Nobody's even close talk with us about what happened inbur Bank.

The Dodgersday with an inside look at the Dodgers. This
is the Vass Report with David Vasse, the one and.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Only David Vase, Dodgers in Anahei. I'm frustrating loss yesterday
that really got people down, reminded them of that terrible
loss last Wednesday, which feels like it was so long ago,
but it was. It became so close like the mirror,
you know, when the Dodgers lost the way they did yesterday.
(16:17):
Brutal here to explain it all and that brutality. He
is the one and only David Veasse. He is the
Dodger reporter for AMI seventy. He works at Spectrum Sports
at LA and of course MLB Network, and he's here
with us on your Southern California Toyo to Neither celebrity hotline,
brought to you by Service Titan dot Com. Dave, how
(16:39):
are you?
Speaker 8 (16:39):
I'm doing great, but I was as frustrated as the
rest of Los Angeles with the way things ended for
the Dodgers yesterday because you said it, that game reminded
me of that Wednesday afternoon game that the Dodgers should
have won and felt like they were going to win,
and ye yesterday had the same feeling. But they let
(17:02):
the Blue Jays hang around. And Blake Trining continues to
have rust after missing three months of the season, and
why Alex Bestiev is throwing a slider first pitch slider
still is one of the greatest mysteries in Los Angeles today.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
So there are reasons why it happened, and you can
pinpoint those things. They also miss missed some opportunities. But
is it starting to be.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
You think so, Petros. They had twenty three base runners.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I could add twenty four, you know.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
So more than some.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I suppose more than some opportunities were blown by the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
And we still talk about the bullpen first. But but Dave,
does this team lack a killer instinct. Is there something
missing from the way these guys are attacking things day
in and day out. Is this an epidemic of sorts?
Speaker 8 (18:01):
Yeah, I don't. It's hard to say they don't have
a killer instinct. I mean, I feel like that applies
easier in other sports, but in baseball, you just have
to continue to grind the entire season, every single game.
And look, they were in position to really put the
nail into coffin on Eric Lower in the second inning.
(18:24):
They had the bases loaded for the first time, first
of three times they stranded the bases loaded. Will Smith
has a three to one count and he flies out
to the right field and Michael Confordo against the Blue
Jays bullpen three to one count, a ball right down
the middle, he pops up to the catcher. So look,
(18:45):
I just think that these guys are It was unfortunate
that they had so many opportunities and couldn't cash it in.
I think the Dodgers ran themselves out of innings when
O'tani tried to steal third base. That was an issue
in and look, Michael Consporto has not had a good year.
We saw three really good weeks from him, but since
(19:06):
the trade deadline, he's been back to the same Conforto
for the majority of the season.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
We were talking about this a little bit earlier, Dave
the just like one Otani striking out for being as
great as he is, combined with two Dave Roberts, and
where he figures into this whole thing. It's the first
time I think, I don't know, I could be wrong,
that he's really kind of comes straight after Otani. You
talked about Otani running the team out of an inning
(19:34):
with Freddie at the plate trying to steal third and
then just inexplicably for somebody as good of a hitter
as he is, one of the greatest ever to do
it to not be able just to make contact in
the bottom of the ninth. And have we ever heard
Dave kind of be that emphatic about how disappointed he
was and something Otani was doing out there.
Speaker 8 (19:53):
We have never heard Dave Roberts sound that way, But
he was right. It was not the right play at
that point in time, with Freddie Freeman at the plate
in two outs to try to steal third base. Now
Dave said it was all O'taani, But I understand that
you expect him to make the right right baseball decisions.
(20:14):
But if Dave wanted to be one hundred percent safe
and not leave any margin for doubt, why not send
the sign to Dino Evil to say, hey, red light
all you guys, don't even think about trying to steal
right now. That's been done before. And Dave puts a
lot of trust in his players. He allows them to
(20:36):
really dictate the base running in certain situations with certain players,
but maybe he has to rethink that moving forward, if
they're going to make a poor base running decisions, he's
maybe got to be a little bit more hands on
and that's a result of maybe trying to eliminate bad
decisions like that in those situations. But yeah, that's the
(20:58):
first time we've forever heard Dave Roberts just, you know,
not beat around the bush and agree with the reporters
question that it was not a good play and he
volunteered that a bad baseball play, which it was.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Do you do you think it's a culmination, Dave, of
all the strikeouts you know that a the team is having,
and to have the best hitter be at the center
of all those strikeouts. Do you think that's sort of
finally come to a head and maybe sending that message
to a Tani striking out by chasing a pitch down
in a way when a dude could not find the
strike zone that entire inning, that it's kind of like, hey,
(21:32):
get after the best player and that way you send
a message to the whole team. Is there a little
bit of that in there?
Speaker 8 (21:38):
Well, the rookie that came in had a six cra
He relieved Jeff Hoffman, who became the first player in
baseball history to issue five or more walks and record
a win.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
So you had congratulations Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
Yeah, So he had this kid that was coming in
and probably scared to death, and he didn't bite on
that same pitch. A couple of different times earlier in
that same at bat, he fouled off a couple of rockets.
But he's human. That wasn't a great strikeout against that pitcher,
but he's human. That was a pretty good executed pitch
(22:20):
that looked like it was going to be a strike
and turned out not to be. So it's not like
Otani struck out on three pitches and gave away the bat.
He actually fought through in that bat and look it
was unfortunate, and it was unfortunate Mookie Bets grounded out
against that same rookie to end the game. So you know,
I'm not going to put that on Otani's shoulders. Striking
(22:43):
out that time in the ninth inning. That was actually
one of his better ADATs.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
David vasse on a Modello meets you a lot of
Monday on the Petros and Money Show. Were always happy
to have him and his insight. The Mookie Bets, Dave,
I mean, you deserve the credit for some of this,
getting the fans behind him and filling his heart with
joy like the Grinch. But is he out of his
(23:09):
season long slump? Can we expect a different Mookie Bets
straight on till morning.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
We're seeing signs of life. He's hitting five hundred in
his last six games. What's interesting, though, is yesterday the
Blue Jays manager John Schneider, he intentionally walked O'tani to
get to Mooki Bets. Mooki delivered with a bass hit.
Miguel Rojas was the runner at second. He did not
(23:39):
score to low bases again. But Kevin Cash in Tampa
started this, and I'm wondering now if we're going to
see more of it if other teams are not sold
on Mooky Bets And obviously Otani can hurt you with
the home run he's got forty one. Mooki has not
shown that type of power all season long, so our
(24:00):
team's going to continue to do This is what I'm
curious to see. No matter how well Mooki swings the
bat better than he has all season long, that's something
to keep an eye on on the strategy of the game.
If there's pivotal moments in the game with first base open,
are team's going to opt to face mookie Bets instead
of show Aotani? And is he going to deliver.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Last one for me? Dave? You mentioned it at the
start with Blake Trining, and I feel like I've asked you,
you know before, just because we're used to seeing this guy.
I mean, he was sensational in the playoffs last year,
and since he's come back, he's got an ERA over eight.
I mean, there are a lot of traffic out there.
Do you think there's a possibility that they much like
we talked about with Mooki, moving them down the order,
(24:45):
that this is not someone that's coming in the eighth
or the ninth inning until he gets this thing figured out.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Yeah. Dave Roberts said as much after the game yesterday
that he may move tryinan into lower leverage situations, that
of bringing him in in those pivotal moments late in
the game and high leverage spots until he could prove
that he got the rust off, because he told me
in Tampa his stuff is good, but the execution is poor.
(25:13):
And I would tend to agree with him after yesterday
and you know, three out of four, three out of
four outings there, So yeah, I think that's the right move.
And let's not forget he's thirty six years old. He
was pushed to the limits like every other Dodger reliever
last year. Who's to say that he can regain the
(25:33):
form of last year. That's a lot to ask. If
you just go down the line look at the Dodger
relievers from a year ago. Alex Vessi is probably the
only one that's still standing. And that's why the Dodgers
need Tanner Scott back. That's why they need Kirby Ates
back and healthy, not just come back and kind of
work through the hamstring issue. He's got to come back
(25:54):
healthy for him to be effective at his age. So
Michael Kopek also coming off the IL. Both Scott and
Kopek have told me that they're ready to go. I
could see them being active for the Padres series starting
Friday night and the Dodgers making a decision there. And
let's not forget about Bobby Miller. I've been texting with
(26:16):
Bobby the last couple of days. He has really embraced
the Dodgers moving him into a relief role just so
he has an opportunity to try to help the team.
And since he's moved to relief, he has not given
up a run. He has had four to five scoreless
outings as a reliever. So he's an interesting guy. That
(26:38):
is a fresh arm that the Dodgers may tap into
here soon.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
What about Tommy Tanks.
Speaker 8 (26:45):
Tommy Edmunds not coming back until the middle of September.
That's what Dave Roberts said two days ago, because that
right ankle has been re sprained three different times this year.
And as you guys know, the more you sprain an ankle,
the more it's susceptible to re sprain. And that's what's happened.
(27:06):
So instead of Tommy Edmond trying to gut through it
and try to fight through it. The Dodgers are doing
the right thing to try to get him and that
ankle as healthy as possible. And maybe it's time for him,
you know, talking to him yesterday not only just taping
the ankle, but also wearing an ankle brace.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Moving forward, David vass with great insight, except I don't
know why they don't just shave it ounce off Mookie's
bat with all the difference for that difference.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
Right, maybe he's using a lighter bat now, You never know.
I travel with the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
David Vasse. You'll hear him on Marongo Casino, Dodgers on
deck and after the game, Dave, have a great night.
Thank you very much.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
Okay, guys, thanks, Here he goes Dave.

this time slot. Well, that'll meet a lot of Monday

right back with the Dead and a live guide. Birthday

of the Day, we have a Jamaican News Matt.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
It's Jamaica News. Sigum Ros doing well, Matt. In the
last weeks we've done the elevator theme. Today we will
continue the legendary seminal Jamaican guitarist theme extension. Beautiful man,
we did your brother Chennas Smith Cussin first Cussin.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yes, Today we celebrate Jaw Jerry Haynes, who's older than Chinna.
He would be one hundred and four today from trench Town, Jamaica.
Many people wonder why it was called trench Town.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Why was it called trench Down?
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Not because of an open sewer that runs through it.
Though that is the case because a guy, an Irish
guy named Trench owned.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
It, So.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
That makes sense. A lot of those towns named after
a dude that don't that owned the land.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Yeah, he laughed. But Trench Town remains and it is
the birth of reggae, they claim it at least, and
part of that reason is because of Job Jerry. He
was taught guitar by his father and then legendary Jamaican
guitarist Ernest Wranglin. He hit the Montego Bay jazz scene
in the hotel circuit, freelanced around, developed the upwards strumming technique,
(32:56):
which became a signature reggae guitar style from then on,
adopted by tens, if not hundreds of white reggae bands
from San Diego all the way to the fake surf
city Santa Cruz. He was part of the development. It
is fate, no trademark there. And as they you know,
(33:20):
as our friend Brett Simpson said, they threatened him in
the path.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yes, very popular in the water, threats of violence.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Kind of the nicest guy in the world. Uh, He's
part of.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
The original reggae music.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
Really.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
He worked for Prince Buster Duke Reid. He was contracted
exclusively on Cox and Dodge Studio one, which means he
played on the first recording sessions of Bob Marley and
the Whalers, Toots and the may Tolls, Desmond Becker.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
This big deal seems like and Jimmy Cliff, for.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
He was one of the Scotlights. Oh a famous og
reggae band, Rico Rodriguez on trombone, of course, headed up
by convicted murderer Don Drummond. But a star on every instrument,
only one murderer. And we know.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Jodh Jerry Quick.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Good ratio there, we just got one. Guys, We're good.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Jod Jerry quit in nineteen eighty six, though awarded multiple awards,
retired in basic anonymity to Jonestown another place in Kingston.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Died in two thousand and seven. Jodh Jerry Haynes Beautiful.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
You're alive, Guy Pe, perhaps the smartest person on Earth,
at least a record book suggested as much. Happy seventy
ninth to Marilynd Voss Savant born in Saint Louis. She
holds the Guinness Book of World Records record for the
highest ever score on an IQ test, the highest IQ
ever recorded. If you pay attention to those sort of
(35:03):
things or put any validity into what they are suggesting
a person's brain power is what did she do with
that brain power? Became a celebrity. Of course, it was
in her genes. Her great grandfather was the famous physicist
Ernest Mack as in the namesake for sound waves mock three.
(35:24):
That dude. When she was ten, she scored a two
hundred and twenty eight at the IQ test of her time,
putting her mental age around twenty five. As a ten
year old, that big brain got her into.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Like a three and a half second forty yard dash. Basically,
there you go.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Her big brain pee carried her all the way to
Merrimac Community College.
Speaker 8 (35:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah, she wasn't into school.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
People are very awkward.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Well, it was just too easy. So she was like,
I'm just gonna move to the big town. And she
pursued a career in writing, and she got a job
as the IQ quiz author for Omni Magazine, which was
a big deal back in the day. While there, she
took the more updated IQ tests that gave her a
raw test score of forty six out of forty eight
(36:14):
and an IQ of one hundred and eighty six. That's
the one that put her in the Guinness Book of
World Records, and turn made her famous. So Parade Magazine
came and got her, gave her her own column titled
Ask Marilyn. She would have solved logical, mathematical vocab puzzles.
She would answer requests for advice with logic self devised quizzes, puzzles.
It was a huge deal. The centerpiece of Parade Magazine
(36:38):
led to a daily online column. The most famous, though,
of all her columns, was titled The Monty Hall Problem
September nineteen ninety. Let's make a Deal. It reads, Suppose
you're on a game show. Given the choice of three
doors behind one door as a car, the other's goats.
You pick a door, say door number one, and the host,
who knows what's behind each door, opens an other door,
(37:00):
say door three, which has a goat, and he says,
do you want to stay at door number one or
pick door number two? Is it to your advantage to
switch your choice of doors? I would give her answer,
but I am so stupid and it made no sense
to me and twisted my brain into such a pretzel
that I stared at it for five minutes. I don't
(37:21):
want to go through it again by bringing it up.
She did say you should change doors, though for some
reason it's a one third versus two thirds fractional issue.
But whatever, She is a bestseller. Her the world's most
famous math problem, was met with great controversy, but she
was ultimately proven correct in her calculations that a previously
supposed solution was in fact incorrect. On Black Fermat's last theorem.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
The one in Restmoir at the beginning, it's like you
got it.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
This is a best selling book about how this theorem
is incorrect. Showed a whole book on it. Yeah, this
thing you've been celebrating that you thought was right isn't right.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
On that you know that is a knee shoddy right.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
However, I guess her best seller was I've forgotten everything
I learned in school. A refresher course to help you
reclaim your education.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
She was married, sadly, he just passed away about a
month ago. Married to the man for forty seven years
who developed the artificial heart. So pretty smart dining conversation,
I would assume between her and Robert Jarvick, her husband
Earn all they did was make fart noises back. You
know what, that would make sense. Two sons, Marilyn Voss Savant.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
All right, we're not done. We have your fun factor.
Yeah yeah, yes, all the way till Saturday. Yeah yeah,
met me coming up in the very next segment on

Dodgers Angels on Wednesday at Angel Stadium, and then we're
heading all the way out to the eight oh five
thousand Oaks Rantley Hill Brewing is the etherier thing confirmed.
(04:29):
I believe it is right, not confirm one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Wow top response there. Ye, it happened right into a while,
right face, right into the pan.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
They said they did not want to comment because it's
a nothing story. They don't have time, simply did not
have times, simply did not have.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Turn fire department. They turned down our request for an interview.
They told us this is a nothing story and they
simply didn't have time to talk with us about what happened.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Matt. We had three of it's last week, you know.
We started out the week at Chargers.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Right of Chargers training.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Later a happier time.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And then Thursday inside the locker room, really upset fred
with the really upset Freddy sabotaged our refrigerator with.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
The bond of brothers. And then we had the big
tour stop on Friday at HQs. So we're all girded
up for this week. We're ready to go, We're ready
to rock, we're ready to roll. So we'll see you
in Thousand Oaks if you're up there. We'll see you
at Buryax on Wednesday, if you're down there. And it's
time now for the top story of the day, Story
(05:37):
of day.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, Dave, I say we'll be able to piggyback on
this or at least provide some clarity to many of
the things we will explore in this moment. But p
as it stands right now, in this very moment, four
to ten pm time check on Monday, August eleventh. Did
you know the Dodgers are a wild card team, a
(06:01):
wild card to a four hundred million dollars right.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Like winning the division would get them into the wild.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Card exactly right. They have been surpassed after their loss
yesterday by the Phillies and the Brewers. The Brewers have
the best record in the National League.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Well, they earned it. They beat the Dodgers seven out
of seventy the.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Hell out of them. The Phillies are a half game
better at sixty and forty eight to the Dodgers sixty
and forty nine. In the standings right now sixty eight
and fifty, I should say, the Dodgers are sixty eight
and fifty the Philadelphia Phillies sixty eight and forty nine, meaning,
as it currently stands, the Dodgers would not have a
(06:47):
pass into the Divisional Round. They would have to play
the extra round of baseball. And that means as of
right now, in this moment, they would be taking on
you guessed it, the New York Mets.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
WHOA, I thought you're gonna say, San Diego.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
It should be the Padres. But the Mets have been
an absolute tire fire. They have lost eleven of twelve
and seven in a row. So they once had a
firm grip on the number one wild card spot. That
has changed dramatically over the last week and a half.
But I will say, when I woke up this morning
trying to figure out how to construct this top story
of the day, Dodgers focused. Of course, after taking two
(07:29):
of three out of the best team in the American League.
You thought it would be a celebration, but instead, because
of the manner in which they lost that game yesterday,
that there is a dark cloud around Well, let's see
there is a dark let me see it this way.
There is a dark lining around the silver cloud that
(07:49):
was taking two out of three, Blake Snell getting the
big victory pitching dominant baseball on Saturday this weekend because
the manner in which they lost that game, and Kate,
I don't know if you can pull up that Dave
rob sound Uh, well, I don't. I don't ever remember.
I am not certain, Dave, I'm sure who's been with
the team forever and obviously all of last year, the
(08:12):
first year that Otani was there. I don't ever remember
Dave Roberts let alone in the manner in which he
did here in great detail ever taking a shot at
Shoe Oltani and he went after him yesterday.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
This is frustrating. This is frustrating because I just felt
there's no way we should lose this game today given
the pitching for performance that we got from Glass and
you know, they expended everyone in the pen and we
had him on the ropes numerous times, and for us
not to win today is just a frustrating one. The
last thing I was thinking, you know, he was going
(08:47):
to strike out, but in that situation, you know, the
guy doesn't have a big fastball and you got to
stay in the middle of the field and that's just
we got to come up with one right there. And
you know, chasing the ball down below is something that
we can't that you know, Uh, you know, we can't
have happened. You know, we can't have happened.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Can't have a guy who is trending to.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Have the time the top of us one, two.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Or three in the MVP race.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
And we also heard something there, Pe And perhaps because
your memory is considerably better than mine, I was trying
to remember the nickname that Gomer shared with us this
last time he came on, because we asked him if
we could say Yama, yeah, and then he he said
somebody else and we're like, oh, can we use that? Yeah,
(09:36):
that's right. It was uh for Freeze Freeze Freezy for
Alex Freeland, for Alex Freeland. We're like, oh, can we
use that? So I do want to say after hearing
that too from Dave Roberts. We now have another one
that we've got to ask. Can we call glass now? Glass?
You know glass? Oh yeah, that was glass pitched so
(09:56):
well out there. So now we got glass.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
He likes, he likes to come on and throw him around, right,
you're you know he's he likes it.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
So I do want to point out, as we are
keeping tabs.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
That's like what Sarks stated, had a bunch of beers
with Vassay. It's like, hey, he likes, he likes, he
likes it, man, he likes he likes the nicknames we got.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
They turned down our request for an interview. They told
us this is a nothing story, and they said we
didn't have time to talk with us.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I spent some time putting this store together. Geez uh.
So now as we are keeping track. Courtesy of Ron Washington,
Frederick for Freddie Freeman. All right, Frederick, we got Tayo,
not thea oscar, but Tayo. We got Yama instead of Yamamoto.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Now we got glass for glass. Now we got free.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Always we've always had kersh.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
We've always had cursh in months. No months was new,
Oh that's what it was. It was months. It was
sach freak when it was because we were asking about
Max Monsey coming back and he said months, and we
asked if we can call him months, and then we
talked about his demeanor whenever he joins us that maybe
that would not be received all.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
That way surly shurlish.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
So we now have so we have another one to
add to the list, is what I'm getting that. But yeah,
wild card team the Dodgers have lost, have lost eighteen
of their last thirty three games. They are fifteen and
eighteen since the All Star break. Meanwhile the Padres twenty
one and thirteen. All you that same stretch.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Familiarity in us using nicknames is going to improve things.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
No, But what I do think, hey, Months, but I
do think you really liked it out the lineup? Is
that perhaps something that we addressed last week, And a
lot of people raise their eyebros. They're like, ooh, Petrosen
money show taking a shot out. We weren't taking a
shot at Otani. We simply asked the question of hey man,
this guy's striking out a lot.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
That's right, you said that, Matt.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
And then we were wondering whether or not Dave Roberts
is going to be able to insert him self into
this as you would assume, even though he secured himself,
as the kids like to say, the bag in the
past offseason after the World Series championship, extending him and
making him one of the highest paid managers in all
of baseball, whether or not, sooner or later we'd see
(12:15):
Dave Roberts kind of raise his hand or raise his voice.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
He's got a nick Dave too, doc big opened.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Can't have it happen, you know, we can't have happened.
And again, I think Dave will confirm in the next segment,
but I do believe that's the first time that we've
heard him really take Otani the task, especially through the
meat Well, how else would we know if he did
it in the media.
Speaker 9 (12:39):
It's a frustrating one. No, the last thing I was thinking,
you know, he was going to strike out. But in
that situation, you know, the guy doesn't have a big
fastball and you got to stay in the middle of
the field, and that's just we got to come up
with one right there, and you know, chasing the ball
down below something that we can't that you know that,
you know we can't have happened.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
And you know what We talked to Tim Salmon in
the last hour. We pointed out the is lead baseball
with eleven and forty seven strikeouts. It's one of the
reasons why they're not in the postseason picture. But the Dodgers, hey,
they're kind of there. The Dodgers are not far behind me.
I said, the Dodgers are at nine hundred ninety seven strikeouts,
(13:18):
and I think yesterday is a prime example of what
has plagued this team and has gone unchecked for far
too long. All the TNY has to do is put
that ball into play. Just put the ball into play,
and you got to run and instead strikeout followed by
a routine grounder from Mookie Betts. The art of eating
(13:40):
has disappeared, and it cost the Dodgers a big victory yesterday,
and that loss means they are now a wild card
team playing in the wild card round as it stands today,
and that's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
We did ring, We did ring the alarm last week,
Matt and.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
People called it. You know, they people come after the
Panic Brothers. It's like sometimes the Panic Brothers are ahead
of the curve.
Speaker 9 (14:05):
I'm going to chasing the ball down below something that
we can't that you know that, you know, we can't
have happened.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
No bad baseball play. That's what Dave said.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Right now, we're in the wildcard route.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
We're the first to criticize O Taani.
Speaker 2 (14:18):

The Dodgersday with an inside look at the Dodgers. This
is the Vass Report with David Vasse, the one and.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Only David Vase, Dodgers in Anahei. I'm frustrating loss yesterday
that really got people down, reminded them of that terrible
loss last Wednesday, which feels like it was so long ago,
but it was. It became so close like the mirror,
you know, when the Dodgers lost the way they did yesterday.
(16:17):
Brutal here to explain it all and that brutality. He
is the one and only David Veasse. He is the
Dodger reporter for AMI seventy. He works at Spectrum Sports
at LA and of course MLB Network, and he's here
with us on your Southern California Toyo to Neither celebrity hotline,
brought to you by Service Titan dot Com. Dave, how
(16:39):
are you?
Speaker 8 (16:39):
I'm doing great, but I was as frustrated as the
rest of Los Angeles with the way things ended for
the Dodgers yesterday because you said it, that game reminded
me of that Wednesday afternoon game that the Dodgers should
have won and felt like they were going to win,
and ye yesterday had the same feeling. But they let
(17:02):
the Blue Jays hang around. And Blake Trining continues to
have rust after missing three months of the season, and
why Alex Bestiev is throwing a slider first pitch slider
still is one of the greatest mysteries in Los Angeles today.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
So there are reasons why it happened, and you can
pinpoint those things. They also miss missed some opportunities. But
is it starting to be.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
You think so, Petros. They had twenty three base runners.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I could add twenty four, you know.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
So more than some.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I suppose more than some opportunities were blown by the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
And we still talk about the bullpen first. But but Dave,
does this team lack a killer instinct. Is there something
missing from the way these guys are attacking things day
in and day out. Is this an epidemic of sorts?
Speaker 8 (18:01):
Yeah, I don't. It's hard to say they don't have
a killer instinct. I mean, I feel like that applies
easier in other sports, but in baseball, you just have
to continue to grind the entire season, every single game.
And look, they were in position to really put the
nail into coffin on Eric Lower in the second inning.
(18:24):
They had the bases loaded for the first time, first
of three times they stranded the bases loaded. Will Smith
has a three to one count and he flies out
to the right field and Michael Confordo against the Blue
Jays bullpen three to one count, a ball right down
the middle, he pops up to the catcher. So look,
(18:45):
I just think that these guys are It was unfortunate
that they had so many opportunities and couldn't cash it in.
I think the Dodgers ran themselves out of innings when
O'tani tried to steal third base. That was an issue
in and look, Michael Consporto has not had a good year.
We saw three really good weeks from him, but since
(19:06):
the trade deadline, he's been back to the same Conforto
for the majority of the season.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
We were talking about this a little bit earlier, Dave
the just like one Otani striking out for being as
great as he is, combined with two Dave Roberts, and
where he figures into this whole thing. It's the first
time I think, I don't know, I could be wrong,
that he's really kind of comes straight after Otani. You
talked about Otani running the team out of an inning
(19:34):
with Freddie at the plate trying to steal third and
then just inexplicably for somebody as good of a hitter
as he is, one of the greatest ever to do
it to not be able just to make contact in
the bottom of the ninth. And have we ever heard
Dave kind of be that emphatic about how disappointed he
was and something Otani was doing out there.
Speaker 8 (19:53):
We have never heard Dave Roberts sound that way, But
he was right. It was not the right play at
that point in time, with Freddie Freeman at the plate
in two outs to try to steal third base. Now
Dave said it was all O'taani, But I understand that
you expect him to make the right right baseball decisions.
(20:14):
But if Dave wanted to be one hundred percent safe
and not leave any margin for doubt, why not send
the sign to Dino Evil to say, hey, red light
all you guys, don't even think about trying to steal
right now. That's been done before. And Dave puts a
lot of trust in his players. He allows them to
(20:36):
really dictate the base running in certain situations with certain players,
but maybe he has to rethink that moving forward, if
they're going to make a poor base running decisions, he's
maybe got to be a little bit more hands on
and that's a result of maybe trying to eliminate bad
decisions like that in those situations. But yeah, that's the
(20:58):
first time we've forever heard Dave Roberts just, you know,
not beat around the bush and agree with the reporters
question that it was not a good play and he
volunteered that a bad baseball play, which it was.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Do you do you think it's a culmination, Dave, of
all the strikeouts you know that a the team is having,
and to have the best hitter be at the center
of all those strikeouts. Do you think that's sort of
finally come to a head and maybe sending that message
to a Tani striking out by chasing a pitch down
in a way when a dude could not find the
strike zone that entire inning, that it's kind of like, hey,
(21:32):
get after the best player and that way you send
a message to the whole team. Is there a little
bit of that in there?
Speaker 8 (21:38):
Well, the rookie that came in had a six cra
He relieved Jeff Hoffman, who became the first player in
baseball history to issue five or more walks and record
a win.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
So you had congratulations Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
Yeah, So he had this kid that was coming in
and probably scared to death, and he didn't bite on
that same pitch. A couple of different times earlier in
that same at bat, he fouled off a couple of rockets.
But he's human. That wasn't a great strikeout against that pitcher,
but he's human. That was a pretty good executed pitch
(22:20):
that looked like it was going to be a strike
and turned out not to be. So it's not like
Otani struck out on three pitches and gave away the bat.
He actually fought through in that bat and look it
was unfortunate, and it was unfortunate Mookie Bets grounded out
against that same rookie to end the game. So you know,
I'm not going to put that on Otani's shoulders. Striking
(22:43):
out that time in the ninth inning. That was actually
one of his better ADATs.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
David vasse on a Modello meets you a lot of
Monday on the Petros and Money Show. Were always happy
to have him and his insight. The Mookie Bets, Dave,
I mean, you deserve the credit for some of this,
getting the fans behind him and filling his heart with
joy like the Grinch. But is he out of his
(23:09):
season long slump? Can we expect a different Mookie Bets
straight on till morning.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
We're seeing signs of life. He's hitting five hundred in
his last six games. What's interesting, though, is yesterday the
Blue Jays manager John Schneider, he intentionally walked O'tani to
get to Mooki Bets. Mooki delivered with a bass hit.
Miguel Rojas was the runner at second. He did not
(23:39):
score to low bases again. But Kevin Cash in Tampa
started this, and I'm wondering now if we're going to
see more of it if other teams are not sold
on Mooky Bets And obviously Otani can hurt you with
the home run he's got forty one. Mooki has not
shown that type of power all season long, so our
(24:00):
team's going to continue to do This is what I'm
curious to see. No matter how well Mooki swings the
bat better than he has all season long, that's something
to keep an eye on on the strategy of the game.
If there's pivotal moments in the game with first base open,
are team's going to opt to face mookie Bets instead
of show Aotani? And is he going to deliver.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Last one for me? Dave? You mentioned it at the
start with Blake Trining, and I feel like I've asked you,
you know before, just because we're used to seeing this guy.
I mean, he was sensational in the playoffs last year,
and since he's come back, he's got an ERA over eight.
I mean, there are a lot of traffic out there.
Do you think there's a possibility that they much like
we talked about with Mooki, moving them down the order,
(24:45):
that this is not someone that's coming in the eighth
or the ninth inning until he gets this thing figured out.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Yeah. Dave Roberts said as much after the game yesterday
that he may move tryinan into lower leverage situations, that
of bringing him in in those pivotal moments late in
the game and high leverage spots until he could prove
that he got the rust off, because he told me
in Tampa his stuff is good, but the execution is poor.
(25:13):
And I would tend to agree with him after yesterday
and you know, three out of four, three out of
four outings there, So yeah, I think that's the right move.
And let's not forget he's thirty six years old. He
was pushed to the limits like every other Dodger reliever
last year. Who's to say that he can regain the
(25:33):
form of last year. That's a lot to ask. If
you just go down the line look at the Dodger
relievers from a year ago. Alex Vessi is probably the
only one that's still standing. And that's why the Dodgers
need Tanner Scott back. That's why they need Kirby Ates
back and healthy, not just come back and kind of
work through the hamstring issue. He's got to come back
(25:54):
healthy for him to be effective at his age. So
Michael Kopek also coming off the IL. Both Scott and
Kopek have told me that they're ready to go. I
could see them being active for the Padres series starting
Friday night and the Dodgers making a decision there. And
let's not forget about Bobby Miller. I've been texting with
(26:16):
Bobby the last couple of days. He has really embraced
the Dodgers moving him into a relief role just so
he has an opportunity to try to help the team.
And since he's moved to relief, he has not given
up a run. He has had four to five scoreless
outings as a reliever. So he's an interesting guy. That
(26:38):
is a fresh arm that the Dodgers may tap into
here soon.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
What about Tommy Tanks.
Speaker 8 (26:45):
Tommy Edmunds not coming back until the middle of September.
That's what Dave Roberts said two days ago, because that
right ankle has been re sprained three different times this year.
And as you guys know, the more you sprain an ankle,
the more it's susceptible to re sprain. And that's what's happened.
(27:06):
So instead of Tommy Edmond trying to gut through it
and try to fight through it. The Dodgers are doing
the right thing to try to get him and that
ankle as healthy as possible. And maybe it's time for him,
you know, talking to him yesterday not only just taping
the ankle, but also wearing an ankle brace.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Moving forward, David vass with great insight, except I don't
know why they don't just shave it ounce off Mookie's
bat with all the difference for that difference.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
Right, maybe he's using a lighter bat now, You never know.
I travel with the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
David Vasse. You'll hear him on Marongo Casino, Dodgers on
deck and after the game, Dave, have a great night.
Thank you very much.
Speaker 8 (27:50):

fighting spirit. Modello the mark of a fighter. We'll be

of the Day, we have a Jamaican News Matt.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
It's Jamaica News. Sigum Ros doing well, Matt. In the
last weeks we've done the elevator theme. Today we will
continue the legendary seminal Jamaican guitarist theme extension. Beautiful man,
we did your brother Chennas Smith Cussin first Cussin.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yes, Today we celebrate Jaw Jerry Haynes, who's older than Chinna.
He would be one hundred and four today from trench Town, Jamaica.
Many people wonder why it was called trench Town.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Why was it called trench Down?
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Not because of an open sewer that runs through it.
Though that is the case because a guy, an Irish
guy named Trench owned.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
It, So.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
That makes sense. A lot of those towns named after
a dude that don't that owned the land.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Yeah, he laughed. But Trench Town remains and it is
the birth of reggae, they claim it at least, and
part of that reason is because of Job Jerry. He
was taught guitar by his father and then legendary Jamaican
guitarist Ernest Wranglin. He hit the Montego Bay jazz scene
in the hotel circuit, freelanced around, developed the upwards strumming technique,
(32:56):
which became a signature reggae guitar style from then on,
adopted by tens, if not hundreds of white reggae bands
from San Diego all the way to the fake surf
city Santa Cruz. He was part of the development. It
is fate, no trademark there. And as they you know,
(33:20):
as our friend Brett Simpson said, they threatened him in
the path.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yes, very popular in the water, threats of violence.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Kind of the nicest guy in the world. Uh, He's
part of.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
The original reggae music.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
Really.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
He worked for Prince Buster Duke Reid. He was contracted
exclusively on Cox and Dodge Studio one, which means he
played on the first recording sessions of Bob Marley and
the Whalers, Toots and the may Tolls, Desmond Becker.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
This big deal seems like and Jimmy Cliff, for.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
He was one of the Scotlights. Oh a famous og
reggae band, Rico Rodriguez on trombone, of course, headed up
by convicted murderer Don Drummond. But a star on every instrument,
only one murderer. And we know.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Jodh Jerry Quick.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Good ratio there, we just got one. Guys, We're good.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Jod Jerry quit in nineteen eighty six, though awarded multiple awards,
retired in basic anonymity to Jonestown another place in Kingston.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Died in two thousand and seven. Jodh Jerry Haynes Beautiful.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
You're alive, Guy Pe, perhaps the smartest person on Earth,
at least a record book suggested as much. Happy seventy
ninth to Marilynd Voss Savant born in Saint Louis. She
holds the Guinness Book of World Records record for the
highest ever score on an IQ test, the highest IQ
ever recorded. If you pay attention to those sort of
(35:03):
things or put any validity into what they are suggesting
a person's brain power is what did she do with
that brain power? Became a celebrity. Of course, it was
in her genes. Her great grandfather was the famous physicist
Ernest Mack as in the namesake for sound waves mock three.
(35:24):
That dude. When she was ten, she scored a two
hundred and twenty eight at the IQ test of her time,
putting her mental age around twenty five. As a ten
year old, that big brain got her into.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Like a three and a half second forty yard dash. Basically,
there you go.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Her big brain pee carried her all the way to
Merrimac Community College.
Speaker 8 (35:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah, she wasn't into school.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
People are very awkward.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Well, it was just too easy. So she was like,
I'm just gonna move to the big town. And she
pursued a career in writing, and she got a job
as the IQ quiz author for Omni Magazine, which was
a big deal back in the day. While there, she
took the more updated IQ tests that gave her a
raw test score of forty six out of forty eight
(36:14):
and an IQ of one hundred and eighty six. That's
the one that put her in the Guinness Book of
World Records, and turn made her famous. So Parade Magazine
came and got her, gave her her own column titled
Ask Marilyn. She would have solved logical, mathematical vocab puzzles.
She would answer requests for advice with logic self devised quizzes, puzzles.
It was a huge deal. The centerpiece of Parade Magazine
(36:38):
led to a daily online column. The most famous, though,
of all her columns, was titled The Monty Hall Problem
September nineteen ninety. Let's make a Deal. It reads, Suppose
you're on a game show. Given the choice of three
doors behind one door as a car, the other's goats.
You pick a door, say door number one, and the host,
who knows what's behind each door, opens an other door,
(37:00):
say door three, which has a goat, and he says,
do you want to stay at door number one or
pick door number two? Is it to your advantage to
switch your choice of doors? I would give her answer,
but I am so stupid and it made no sense
to me and twisted my brain into such a pretzel
that I stared at it for five minutes. I don't
(37:21):
want to go through it again by bringing it up.
She did say you should change doors, though for some
reason it's a one third versus two thirds fractional issue.
But whatever, She is a bestseller. Her the world's most
famous math problem, was met with great controversy, but she
was ultimately proven correct in her calculations that a previously
supposed solution was in fact incorrect. On Black Fermat's last theorem.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
The one in Restmoir at the beginning, it's like you
got it.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
This is a best selling book about how this theorem
is incorrect. Showed a whole book on it. Yeah, this
thing you've been celebrating that you thought was right isn't right.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
On that you know that is a knee shoddy right.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
However, I guess her best seller was I've forgotten everything
I learned in school. A refresher course to help you
reclaim your education.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
She was married, sadly, he just passed away about a
month ago. Married to the man for forty seven years
who developed the artificial heart. So pretty smart dining conversation,
I would assume between her and Robert Jarvick, her husband
Earn all they did was make fart noises back. You
know what, that would make sense. Two sons, Marilyn Voss Savant.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
All right, we're not done. We have your fun factor.
Yeah yeah, yes, all the way till Saturday. Yeah yeah,
met me coming up in the very next segment on
this I'm a horse Monday horse meat in the face
to you and don't forget You can come see us
(38:53):
on Wednesday in Anaheim and per reacts or Friday at
