I'm 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.679 all about women's sports. I have a daughter who plays 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.839 women's sports still, and I have a high school daughter 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.719 who plays a girls high school lacrosse. 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.840 While I'm all about they better help Kaylen Clark can 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.600 play in every single basketball and soccer and whatever other 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:41.920 women's game they're gonna play. 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:43.760 That was gonna be My point is what is the 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.320 content that they're gonna have on a weekly basis to 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.880 provide outside of just three point shots from Kaitlyn Clark 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.279 every week? I mean, what else is there out there? 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.920 Well, I don't know, Tim. I think it's a great 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:03.559 investment by ESPN in the future, but I have to say, 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.560 actually I'm kidding about that. But I do have to 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:11.120 say from the time when we were young people and 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:16.279 ESPN with Stuart Scott and Dan Patrick and those guys 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:21.640 was must see television. You enjoyed the highlights. That's where 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.800 you got the highlights. They weren't on social media. There 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:30.400 was humor. It was men talking about kind of manly stuff. 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:35.800 And that is that is gone changed. That is yeah, 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:36.760 it's gone. 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.240 Instead of giving you what you want now they're force 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:40.920 feeding things that they think you were. 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.479 Wow, and you got a bald head scalleywag up there. 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:43.800 You know. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.159 Kate's next poem is going to be on the freedom Tree. 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.840 I should have read that text. I'm sorry, all right, 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:58.320 it's tide for the word of the day. His words 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.440 the word of the day today. This word of the 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:07.120 day is extreme. Major League Baseball is on the brink 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:11.000 of a lockout, yes, but we are gearing up for 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.800 the twenty twenty six baseball season and so is MLB. 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:18.000 That's why they teamed up, like the two Spy kids 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.800 teamed up. I guess they're brother and sisters, so it's 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.000 kind of like they had to do it anyway. But 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:27.200 they have teamed up Major League Baseball with Taco Bell. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:34.479 Get ready tim for the new MLB official soft drink, 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.120 the one that they love and Taco Bell. And when 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.920 it comes back in Taco Bell, everybody gets all geeked up. 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.880 The Mountain Dewe Baja Blast. 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:48.839 Oh wow. 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:57.160 That is the official, official official soft drink of Major 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.120 League Baseball.

I think it's like a papa you 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.560 have that gay. So there's a lot of people who 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.920 are I don't think it's gay. I think it's weird 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:44.840 say that.

But my new number of the day 0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:01.360 is three point three million dollars. We love Marilyn Monroe 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.320 here on the patrol some money show we do. Yes, 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:05.600 we don't. 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.480 No, I'm not saying we don't. I read a very 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:14.400 interesting James Elroy book with Marilyn Monroe as a center character, 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.280 and it delved into a lot of the allegations about 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.560 her when she was alive and how she died. And 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:25.480 the main character in the book was literally a guy 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:30.040 who who was interviewed by the FBI and everybody else 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.280 and told people he was in the room after she died. 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.280 Before the cops got there. Oh wow, wiping stuff down? 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:35.880 Oh wow. 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:40.840 Yeah. Freddie O'tesh, which is the real person who Jake 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.520 Dennis from Chinatown that movie is based on, and every 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:49.719 other La Hollywood Ray Donovan, Hollywood Fixer, LA Detective. All 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.120 that stuff comes from this guy, Freddie O'tesh And he 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.360 was in the room anyway. Marilyn Monroe had a lot 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.520 going on, according to Elroy, Let's just put it like that. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.360 Monroe's other house, not the one in the Hollywood Hills, 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:04.920 but Marilyn Monroe's. 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.679 House once she was found dead, is in Brentwood. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:11.040 Brentwood. That that house, her former Palm Springs home, is 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:16.319 on the market for three point three million dollars. 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:16.960 Oh really. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.600 It's a house that is in the Vista Las Palmas neighborhood. 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:26.760 Three thousand square feet, four bedrooms for bath. It's not original, original, 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.120 but the last couple of owners have not like redone 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.239 it completely. It's still got a lot of the original 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:36.200 architecture to the house and the framework still looks the 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.280 same as to when she designed and built it right 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.880 before she died. She didn't get a long time to 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.880 live in there. But it's a spacious house with a fireplace, 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:50.640 dining nook, a retro semicircle bar, sliding glass doorframes throughout, 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.120 a great looking patio and pull a hot tub, a 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.960 fire pit outside with stunning views of the mountains. Three 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:02.880 point three million dollars, and you could own a piece 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:06.920 of history, the Palm Springs home of the one and 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.360 only Marilyn Monroe. 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.040 Well you could, you know, you could rent Bob Hope's 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:16.120 house out there, the one that looks like a giant 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:17.840 beetle in Palm Springs. 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:19.880 I've heard of it, but I've never seen it before. 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.480 Yeah, oh you can see it. I mean you see 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.800 it from right off Highway one eleven. It's huge, said postcards. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.439 You've seen it, trust me. Okay, you can rent that 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.000 and stay there for a party. They couldn't sell. They 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.679 sold it, but for like tens of millions less than 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.720 they thought it would get. Yeah. Marilyn Monroe died in 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:41.000 Brentwood Helena Drive in Brentwood, August fifth, nineteen sixty two. Well, 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.400 if you want to own a piece, did you say 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.760 the Hollywood Hills, what's the matter with you? Well, Hollywood Hills, 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.080 brent Wood to me, it's all no, it's not there. 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:48.920 It's right over there. It's all the same. 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:50.000 It's not the same. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.160 But you could own a piece of her palm or 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:53.480 owner Palm Springs house that. 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.680 Brent would just too far west for you when you 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.160 were at UCLA. I mean, is that it matters? That's 0:13:58.200 --> 0:13:59.280 a three blocks away. 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.520 I'm coming down four or five south instead of making 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.880 a left onto sunset like Mike Cronin, I'd have to 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:04.440 make a riot. 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.120 So you can't do that. 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:07.800 I can't do it, Sally Running. 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:14.160 This is the song of the day.

Dodgers Angels, 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:45.240 Camelback Ranch will be up and running for the Cactus 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:48.880 League and joining us now to discuss it because there 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:52.280 is no Dodger Talk tonight. Is the man on a 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:57.320 mission to bring you all the latest news, and well 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:58.880 he's become a star in his own right. 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:09.440 David VESSI live from Spring Training, the home of the Dodge, off. 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.520 With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:11.720 Vasse Report with David Vasse. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:17.199 David Masse live from Camelback Ranch. We are thrilled to 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:21.679 have him, Dave on M five seventy LA Sports Spectrum, 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:26.680 sports Net and the MLB Network at the real Underscore 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:30.600 dv on X for all the latest, truly the latest 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:34.080 from Camelback Ranch on your Southern California to to the 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.000 other celebrity hotline. How are you, Dave? 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.520 I'm doing great. I gotta get my times right, I've 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.280 been saying all week on Dodger Talk, the games at 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.960 one ten, but we are still an hour ahead out 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:49.359 here in Mountain time. So thank you for that, Petros. 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:53.080 But all as well and ready to see some Cactus 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:54.520 League baseball tomorrow. 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.000 Dave kind of feels like today's the calm before the 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:01.000 storm with the big games tomorrow and so and finding 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:02.560 out who's going to start, who's gonna play. 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.240 Yeah, there's a lot more buzz at camp, a lot 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.320 more fans showing up than what we saw during the 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.399 middle of the week. With the weekend upon us, so 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.720 a lot of Dodger fans already have made their way 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:19.800 to Camelback Ranch. And I wouldn't say the calm before 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.520 the storm because I feel like a lot of Dodgers 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:26.760 are easing into Cactus League play. Freddie Freeman is not 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:30.080 going to play until Tuesday. You're not going to see 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:35.080 Monsey or Mookie Bets either tomorrow in Tempe. But you 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:38.359 will see sho Heyo Tani lead off in DH in 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:42.120 both these games this weekend against the Angels and Padres. 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.840 And of course we're going to get our first look 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:51.560 of Yoshinubu Yamamoto, who is the World Series MVT. Yama 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.560 Moto will be starting tomorrow, and that's going to be 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:58.119 his first start before you lead with Team Japan for 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:03.879 the World Baseball Classics. I know, Dodgers Angels anywhere in 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:07.240 Arizona is exciting, but I love the setting at Tempe 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:10.520 Diabolo Stadium, and it should be great to have Yamamoto 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.480 on the mound and Otani back where it all started 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:15.800 in the big leagues out there in temp B against 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:17.000 the Angels. 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.560 The Dodgers, especially in the Cactus League. You could talk 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.000 about what it's like in Florida. I have no idea, 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.359 but in the Cactus League years, no doubt, yeah, that 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.560 the Dodgers are the most popular team, and they are 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.800 the most popular team in baseball and the most successful 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:36.639 team in baseball. They're a huge topic for everybody with 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:41.439 the labor unrest looming, I guess. So what's it like 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:44.919 being with the Dodgers at this moment in time in 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:45.879 baseball history? 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:50.040 Dave, Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, Petros, because 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:53.879 it is baseball history. A lot of people were not 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:58.960 born the last time a team did win three championships 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.520 in a row in baseball. That was the Yankees twenty 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:05.560 six years ago. I wasn't alive for any other team 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.440 to win three in a row other than those Yankees. 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:12.520 So we are in the middle of history and one 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:16.880 of the historic great teams in baseball history with historically 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:21.480 maybe the greatest player ever in baseball history in sho 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:24.359 hey Otani. So I feel like we all got to 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.399 remember this and it's not lost and there's a reason 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:31.399 why these guys came to camp ready to go day one. 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.280 It's not lost on them that they have an opportunity 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.640 to go down in history as one of the greatest 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:41.200 teams ever if they're able to win a three peat. 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:45.440 And that's something that shouldn't be lost on a lot 0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:48.720 of us that we are witnessing one of the greatest 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:52.479 teams ever assembled and they're trying to make history and 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.879 become just one of a handful of teams to ever 0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:58.280 win three championships in a row. 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.760 Dave, there's not a lot of run roster spots available 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:03.920 for this team because of the depth they have going 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.560 in to spring training. But if you're a Dodger fan, 0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:08.840 what are maybe one or two guys to keep an 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:11.920 eye on when games start this weekend that guys maybe 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:14.480 make a roster spot to start the season, or we're 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:16.600 going to see at some point very soon. 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.760 Now I'm really keying in on two guys that got 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:24.040 their major league debuts last year. In Alex Freeland and 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:27.560 Dalton Rushing, they seem to have a better understanding of 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:31.720 their roles and I really am curious to see what 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:35.000 type of spring they have. And Alex Freeland has a 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:39.240 chance to be able to make the opening day roster 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:43.000 and actually be the opening day's second baseman if he 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:47.159 performs well. Him and hayes On Kim are competing to 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:50.840 be the other part of the second base equation until 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:56.240 Tommy Edmond returns, so that's certainly one spot of competition. 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:59.720 In Dalton Rushing. He's going to get opportunities to catch 0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:01.840 a lot this spring when Will Smith goes to the 0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:05.439 World Baseball Classic next week, but he's also going to 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:09.320 get opportunities to show whether or not he can fill 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.760 in for Freddie Freeman at first base. So I'm looking 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.359 forward to seeing big springs from those two guys. 0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:19.520 What about the outfield prospects that people talk about. Who's 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:22.480 impressed you of those guys if you've gotten to meet 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:24.320 any of them now? 0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:28.119 Well, the work ethic of Zayer Hope has been not 0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:33.000 lost on everybody around the Dodgers and including myself. He's 0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:36.400 a humble kid that hasn't taken any of this for granted. 0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:39.919 He does love the game of baseball and he is 0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:43.520 a tireless worker. Another guy that I got to meet 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:48.199 actually today is an outfielder the Dodgers acquired at the 0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:53.080 trade deadline last year for Dustin May James Tibbs the Third. 0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:56.760 Andrew Friedman told me that he may be the most 0:22:56.880 --> 0:23:00.680 ready of all the outfield prospects because he is going 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:03.320 to start the year in Triple A, and if somebody 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:06.160 goes down, he may be the first guy they call up. 0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:09.439 He's a college baseball player. He went to Florida State. 0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:12.200 He was a first round draft pick of the Giants. 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:16.080 He was included in the trade for Rafiel Devers, and 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:18.920 then the Red Sox traded him to the Dodgers because 0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:22.960 they have such a surplus of outfielders. So the Dodgers 0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:27.160 may have landed a pretty good player for a rental 0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:29.639
