Speaker 4: Give us say preview of the contest and what is
Speaker 4: to come on Dodgers on Deck. I believe Yoshi Yamamoda
Speaker 4: will be his guest this afternoon.
Speaker 3: Believe it, Matt. It is the truth. It's set in
Speaker 3: stone and it's gonna happen and no one can stop
Speaker 3: it now, so that is gonna happen, So you better
Speaker 3: become reconciled to that fact. He is going to be
Speaker 3: on Yes, yes, yeah, I will root on my team.
Speaker 3: I'll do it as loud as I want, right in
Speaker 3: your ear. All right, Matt, this is the story that
Speaker 3: you might enjoy because you've been so mean about the
Speaker 3: chiefs some of the years, so mean about the chefs
Speaker 3: and what they've been able to accomplish. In Travis Kelcey
Speaker 3: and his blossoming love with his toothpick Taylor Swift, and
Speaker 3: now he doesn't wear jean shorts anymore and date the
Speaker 3: bootylicious black chicks.
Speaker 4: That chain is no longer out, it's tucked in.
Speaker 3: He tucked his chain, tucked his boots too, and it
Speaker 3: is time for the word of the day.
Speaker 4: With his word the word of the day.
Speaker 3: Of course, we all know fifteen eighty seven Prime in
Speaker 3: Kansas City. Come on, Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes steakhouse
Speaker 3: restaurant venture where they have fed people like Taylor Swift,
Speaker 3: people like Rashee Rice. There's a viral TikTok review that
Speaker 3: is criticized the restaurant a woman described having a six
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty dollars dinner at the Steakhouse, which opened
Speaker 3: in September to great fight fair. Six hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: dollars at the Steakhouse. That's a bag of shells, Matt.
Speaker 3: When you're in Kansas City, the Paris of the Prairie,
Speaker 3: and you're having a night out, you better be prepared
Speaker 3: to pay six hundred and fifty bucks. The Steakhouse opened
Speaker 3: in September twenty twenty five. Lot of fanfare on the
Speaker 3: Peterson Money Show when it open, and one day we
Speaker 3: hoped to be there and I hope to spend at
Speaker 3: least six hundred and fifty dollars. This woman called it,
Speaker 3: in her view, the worst fine dining experience I have
Speaker 3: ever had. In the video, she listed a series of complaints,
Speaker 3: beginning with what she said was slow drink service and
Speaker 3: some confusion over the restaurant's table side martini cart. Starting off,
Speaker 3: it took us forty five minutes to get a martini,
Speaker 3: she said. She added that the thirty three dollars drink
Speaker 3: arrived without the server walking him through the table side experience.
Speaker 3: The customer claimed the service lacked attentiveness throughout the evening,
Speaker 3: and that the staff failed to explain elements of the
Speaker 3: dining experiment experience. You couldn't find the server to save
Speaker 3: your life. The fried chicken arrived before our drinks did,
Speaker 3: and it honestly was not good, and it was not
Speaker 3: worth twenty five dollars. She also claimed the fifteen dollars
Speaker 3: steak sauces it's fifteen bucks.
Speaker 4: For sauce sauces were forgotten.
Speaker 3: And that her friend had finished most of his steak
Speaker 3: by the time the sauces were brought to the table
Speaker 3: mining bucks for sauce, My one hundred dollars steak was
Speaker 3: incorrectly cooked.
Speaker 4: She added.
Speaker 3: There was a few positives. She enjoyed the broccolini, which
Speaker 3: was the best she ever ordered.
Speaker 4: I like a good broccolini well, and.
Speaker 3: The mashed potatoes at the Parker House and the Parker
Speaker 3: House rolls were also very good, she said, But overall
Speaker 3: the experience did not justify the hefty price tag. The
Speaker 3: fastest thing our server did was pull out the bill
Speaker 3: of six hundred and fifty dollars, she said. So I
Speaker 3: thought you'd appreciate that that Matt, that you know that
Speaker 3: not everything is coming up roses in Kansas City. Also,
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes is recovering from a blown out knee, and
Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey is extremely old, and so is Andy Reid.
Speaker 3: So all of you AFC West types have that going
Speaker 3: for you. But he's a hell of a podcaster. People
Speaker 3: love that pod man. Let me tell you. Oh wait
Speaker 3: till jo entertaining, Wait till Jason gets his beard out
Speaker 3: at the Masters this week it puts his face on
Speaker 3: a cucumber sandwich and podcasts for hours about that.
Speaker 4: Must high sport media titan.
Speaker 3: Wait for the alternative broadcast of Jason Kelsey talking about
Speaker 3: the grass and Augusta. I didn't wait. It is time
Speaker 3: for the number of the day.
Speaker 2: Here's my number.
Speaker 3: Number of the day.
Speaker 4: Number of the Day is zero. And I know you
Speaker 4: have been tagged in the number of the tweets, and
Speaker 4: I think a handful of the Instagram dms that I've
Speaker 4: been getting today. But all it takes us one. All
Speaker 4: it takes is one to put a plan into motion
Speaker 4: to change something that has been accepted for so long,
Speaker 4: and nobody has ever questioned, why do we do it
Speaker 4: this way? What is it that this actually accomplishes. In
Speaker 4: twenty twenty six, John Boy posted and then individual baseball
Speaker 4: types took hold of Edwin Diaz emerging from the Dodger
Speaker 4: dugout and what was a Dodger's cap that was not
Speaker 4: a Dodgers baseball cap but basically a beatie. The bill
Speaker 4: removed the cap with the interlocking la iconic logo embroidered
Speaker 4: atop his head, signaling we can look at alternative ways
Speaker 4: to cover our heads out here when these games take
Speaker 4: place inside the Rogers Center and there is no sun
Speaker 4: that must shade that a bill must shade our eyes from.
Speaker 3: Now did he is it a warm up thing? Or
Speaker 3: was he out there?
Speaker 4: Edwin Diaz was in his warm up shirts. Yes, merging
Speaker 4: from the dugout. It's a big step for you. It's
Speaker 4: a big step.
Speaker 3: It's a big step in the But the warm up
Speaker 3: world is is the like what that's why you like
Speaker 3: Alex call because is.
Speaker 4: Do rag exactly? They warm up until the burdens of
Speaker 4: convention and rules are placed upon them. But warm ups
Speaker 4: is what they want. That's how they want to play
Speaker 4: the game of baseball, free and easy, without a cumbersome
Speaker 4: bill above their brow. Edwin Diaz, when asked about the
Speaker 4: cureurious looking beanie on his head said that, in fact,
Speaker 4: it was Tanner Scott that started the trend. I'm your favorite, Matt, right,
Speaker 4: our best friend ts old Scottie got this thing going,
Speaker 4: said that Tanner Scott got it started, and that it
Speaker 4: has caught on a bit in the clubhouse, and there
Speaker 4: are a number of guys that like to roll out
Speaker 4: for pregame warm ups.
Speaker 3: With like the baseball yamaka.
Speaker 4: On with exactly with the baseball beanie sans brim so
Speaker 4: as you said, it's necessarily bucking the rules or anything
Speaker 4: like that, but it is a statement from the players
Speaker 4: that this is pretty comfortable.
Speaker 3: It's like Clayshaw's big giant sleeveless shirts, right.
Speaker 4: But you know what, if the players want to wear
Speaker 4: that when they're out there, I'd love to see some
Speaker 4: our pit hair. Let's go. Thank you Edwin ds for
Speaker 4: being the brave soul you like to wear this outside
Speaker 4: the clubhouse.
Speaker 3: Why don't you call Dave? Text Dave, you know, ask
Speaker 3: him for a favor.
Speaker 4: Matt, you know you're gonna hand I mean, ask.
Speaker 3: Him to tell the clubby to get you one of
Speaker 3: those brimless hats so you two can wear a Dodger
Speaker 3: yamaka around well.
Speaker 4: My eleven percent would appreciate.
Speaker 3: That and your small head, which makes very resentful towards
Speaker 3: normal baseball hats.
Speaker 4: I I'm sorry to say normal.
Speaker 3: I've sound like Darryl Gates.
Speaker 4: I uh, you know what I just want. Hey, hey,
Speaker 4: gentlemen in the clubhouse, take a cue from Edwin. Don't
Speaker 4: be ashamed, don't be afraid, don't wear it around the clubhouse.
Speaker 4: Only away from the curious eyes of the beat riders.
Speaker 3: Show it off.
Speaker 4: Share, share your belief in banning the well not banning.
Speaker 3: But I think I think in a perfect world alternative
Speaker 3: to the bill guys, some guys are out there in
Speaker 3: a giant pampat. Some guys are out there in like
Speaker 3: a revolutionary war at.
Speaker 4: Oh, come on, three corners, let's go a bandana and
Speaker 4: looks hatless. Let me see that hair, let me see
Speaker 4: the Carrols would have done right well, just the beginning peak.
Speaker 3: And another six years, Yeah, another six years, Matt, I
Speaker 3: think it was a Gavin Luckx. You discussed this with
Speaker 3: many years.
Speaker 4: It did. He was a big no hat guy in
Speaker 4: warm ups, but.
Speaker 3: Did not understand the line of questioning, though he.
Speaker 4: Did very confused. Now it could have been ours. A
Speaker 4: perpetual and the windmill. The perpetual look of confusion has
Speaker 4: followed him throughout.
Speaker 3: His career as well. Ronnie Song of the Day.
Speaker 5: Broken Social Scene are a Canadian ensemble from Toronto who
Speaker 5: gives us our song of the day called Canada Versus
Speaker 5: America because the Petros and Money shows on a back
Speaker 5: to back super flex alert on this early Tuesday afternoon
Speaker 5: where it's Canada Versus America for game two of this
Speaker 5: three game series north of the Border at Rogers Center
Speaker 5: that will begin with tim Cats and an early edition
Speaker 5: of your Burrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck program that's.
Speaker 3: Coming up at three o'clock. Here, you're on it.
Speaker 5: Canada versus America.
Speaker 3: It's what's happening, although the Dodgers do represent what small
Speaker 3: part of America, Los Angeles, large town. Yeah, I get
Speaker 3: that clubby to get you a brimless hat, Matt Dad.
Speaker 4: When they see me walking around, so I talk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, real conversation, real conversation. He thinks, it's okay, okay,
Speaker 3: ask me about my hat.
Speaker 4: I'll wear that around the lanyard.
Speaker 1: Petros Papadakis, that Money Smith. This is Petros and Money
Speaker 1: on demand.
Speaker 4: Petro some Money and five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere
Speaker 4: on the iHeartRadio app. Final half hour of our Superflex
Speaker 4: Show one to three pm. Dodgers on deck at the
Speaker 4: top of the hour, first pitch coming just after four
Speaker 4: o'clock from Toronto. Yamamoto on them out.
Speaker 3: David Vase with an inside look at the Dodgers. This
Speaker 3: is the Vassie Report with David Vasse, Everybody's favorite reporter.
Speaker 3: David Vasse Spectrum Sports and at LA MLB Network and
Speaker 3: AM five seventy LA Sports. He was there for the
Speaker 3: bludgeting of the Blue Jays last night at Rogers Center.
Speaker 3: He's got Yoshi Yamamoto to the man of the hour
Speaker 3: on the mound to night on the pregame show Marongo Casino.
Speaker 3: Dodgers on deck with Tim Kats coming up at the
Speaker 3: top of the hour, and he's with us now on
Speaker 3: your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. It is the
Speaker 3: one and only David Vasse. Dave, How was it was
Speaker 3: it fun to watch the Blue Jays get bludgeoned last night?
Speaker 3: What was the vibe out there? It seemed like it
Speaker 3: was pretty cool if you're a Dodger type.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great. It was a great vibe. Walking
Speaker 2: into the stadium yesterday, I looked into a lot of
Speaker 2: sad Blue Jays eyes, and there's a lot of sadness
Speaker 2: among the forty thousand plus here last night, and shaker
Speaker 2: Max Scherzer was feeling a little discomfort and even let
Speaker 2: his manager know to be on high alert that he
Speaker 2: may not be long for that game. So, just talking
Speaker 2: to Freddie Freeman right now, he told me if they
Speaker 2: could get to Gossman early, that would really put the
Speaker 2: Blue Jays in a bad spot for the final game
Speaker 2: of this series tomorrow because Eric Lauer had an abbreviated
Speaker 2: start two games ago, you had an abbreviated start from Scherzer.
Speaker 2: So the Dodgers win this game and not Gossman out early.
Speaker 2: Things are looking really good to extend this winning streak
Speaker 2: all the way back to Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 4: I feel like we had this conversation last year early
Speaker 4: on and throughout the regular season, Dave, but just the
Speaker 4: bottom of the lineup, no matter who it is that's
Speaker 4: in there. A lot of times it's platoon players, but
Speaker 4: it just feels like, for whatever reason, that's always something
Speaker 4: that's helped carry this team. Is there anything you can
Speaker 4: point to. You know, yesterday Paez, Dalton Rushing and Chim
Speaker 4: end up with what I think ten or eight hits
Speaker 4: between them. What is it about the bottom of that lineup?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, last year, if you remember, it wasn't very good.
Speaker 2: They weren't turning the lineup over. Rallies were dying, Otani
Speaker 2: was not coming up with men on base. But to
Speaker 2: start this year it has been better, just because the
Speaker 2: Dodgers have more depth than what they had all of
Speaker 2: last year and what they finished with, and Santiago Espinal
Speaker 2: is a big addition. And having Kim, you know, make
Speaker 2: us first started shortstop, have a great game defensively and
Speaker 2: do what he did against those relievers certainly was a
Speaker 2: big part of it. And Paez hitting where he was,
Speaker 2: hitting seventh and becoming a National League Player of the
Speaker 2: Week hitting seventh. You don't hear about that, but that
Speaker 2: was the recipe to success in twenty twenty four for
Speaker 2: the Dodger offense. They had Gavin Lux hitting three hundred,
Speaker 2: getting on base with walks, you had Miguel Rojas hitting
Speaker 2: in front of him. That's how things led to Otani
Speaker 2: being a fifty to fifty player and the Dodger offense
Speaker 2: being so dominant in twenty twenty four, so the bottom
Speaker 2: of the order, like you mentioned, is vital to the
Speaker 2: success of the top of the order and the Dodger offense.
Speaker 3: Going, what do you do now with Dalton rushing now
Speaker 3: that he's come out of a shell with his big bat.
Speaker 2: Well, Will Smith is going to It's already been determined.
Speaker 2: Will Smith is catching the last two games of this series.
Speaker 2: He's in there tonight, so you know, Dalton said after
Speaker 2: the game last night it was an adjustment for him
Speaker 2: to get used to this role and b make some
Speaker 2: adjustments in spring training and as the season has gotten
Speaker 2: underway to shorten things up because you can't have a
Speaker 2: big swing playing once a week twice a week. The
Speaker 2: reality is, though the Dodgers want to give Will Smith
Speaker 2: more rest this year. He's thirty one years old. Dalton
Speaker 2: Russian could play first base. Freddie Freeman is thirty six
Speaker 2: going on thirty seven, so there's spots for him to play.
Speaker 2: He just has to continue to stay sharp as a
Speaker 2: backup first baseman and catcher. That's just the reality of
Speaker 2: things right now. I don't believe that Dodgers have a
Speaker 2: catcher controversy right now.
Speaker 4: What was the atmosphere like when Miguel Rojas came out
Speaker 4: to pitch the ninth in Toronto?
Speaker 2: Dave, Yeah, I thought it would be worse, but I
Speaker 2: think since it was, you know, fourteen to one when
Speaker 2: he came out there, I mean how the air was
Speaker 2: already taken out of this crowd by the time he
Speaker 2: came in. I thought there would be more for his
Speaker 2: harsher booze towards Rojas last night. So we'll see tonight.
Speaker 2: He's in the starting lineup at shortstop. Let's see when
Speaker 2: he comes out for his first at bat early in
Speaker 2: the game. There should be more booze and the booze
Speaker 2: that we all anticipate for him when he comes to eight.
Speaker 3: David Vasse is our guest. He is at the Rogers
Speaker 3: Center in Toronto. He's got Yoshi Yamamoto in the pregame show,
Speaker 3: and Yoshi Yamamoto is taking the mound tonight against the
Speaker 3: American League champions vanquished last year by these very same Dodgers,
Speaker 3: the Toronto Blue Jays. Right here on AM five seventy
Speaker 3: LA Sports, Dave, is there a snell Zilla update? They've
Speaker 3: weathered some storms with a rookie Society and Robleski. But
Speaker 3: when will Snell be ready?
Speaker 2: Well, Dave Roberts said on opening Day he expects Snell
Speaker 2: to be ready by the end of May. My understanding
Speaker 2: is that Snell is going to throw not just one
Speaker 2: one time to hitters, He's gonna throw twice to hitters
Speaker 2: on this upcoming home stand and from there, I'm sure
Speaker 2: he's got to go out on a rehab assignment and
Speaker 2: make at least two to three starts before he comes back.
Speaker 2: But he's feeling great. I spoke to him, no pains
Speaker 2: throwing bullpens at Dodgers Stadium while the team's on the road.
Speaker 2: He's watching the games and definitely is thekitching to come
Speaker 2: back and really contribute in a big way and maybe
Speaker 2: even make a run at a third cy Young.
Speaker 4: You mentioned Kim, Dave, what do you think the plan
Speaker 4: will be for as long as as Mooki is out?
Speaker 4: How will they use both Rojas and Kim? Is Kim
Speaker 4: do you think kind of long for his time here
Speaker 4: or is it just part of what's going on with
Speaker 4: Mooki and when he's ready to come back.
Speaker 2: Well, Alex Freeland has to perform if he doesn't perform,
Speaker 2: then Kim's staying and Freeland maybe going back to Oklahoma
Speaker 2: City when Mookie Bets returns. They've given him a lot
Speaker 2: of opportunities, a lot of at bats. It seems like
Speaker 2: he's again underwater at the plate. He was zero for
Speaker 2: five last night, the only Dodgers starter without a hit.
Speaker 2: So that's all. It's still a competition, right, It's still
Speaker 2: Freeland versus Kim at this point in time, and it's
Speaker 2: on display at the major league level. And I think
Speaker 2: that's what it comes down to. If Kim performs in
Speaker 2: the opportunities opportunities he gets and Freeland doesn't perform when
Speaker 2: Mookie Bets comes back, whenever that is, then the Dodgers
Speaker 2: will have a decision that will be made by those
Speaker 2: two players.
Speaker 3: Production, Dave, you've been doing this a long time, traveling
Speaker 3: around with the team back, you know, to the Andre Ethier,
Speaker 3: Matt Kemp days and beyond. It's the first road trip
Speaker 3: of the year. Are you getting an idea of the
Speaker 3: personality of this team? Is it very different from last year?
Speaker 3: Is they're very much difference at all, with just very
Speaker 3: few changes. You know, Diaz talker dudes like that.
Speaker 2: When we talked to Miguel Rojas yesterday before the game.
Speaker 2: On top of talking about being back in Toronto, I
Speaker 2: asked them about why the Dodger offense has come together
Speaker 2: here scoring forty five runs in the first four games,
Speaker 2: and it just seems like this team is starting to
Speaker 2: gell more. And he said the road trip brings that
Speaker 2: kind of team together, the chemistry of the team together,
Speaker 2: because in spring training they're all basically on their own program.
Speaker 2: They're not really together, they're on different schedules. But he said,
Speaker 2: the first road trip, the first couple of road trips,
Speaker 2: really brings a team together because they're they're more they're
Speaker 2: on the plane together, they're in the hotels together, they're
Speaker 2: just more of a team than they are in spring training.
Speaker 2: And look, the confidence among the players on this team
Speaker 2: is that an all time high after what they did
Speaker 2: last year and the same guy, adding Kyle Tucker, adding
Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz and honestly getting off to a really good
Speaker 2: start offensively on this road trip has reinforced that. Because
Speaker 2: you could remember when the team left, everybody was wondering
Speaker 2: about this Dodger offense. Well, it seems like they've silenced
Speaker 2: all those.
Speaker 4: Critics Dave looking forward to Dodgers on deck. Conversation with
Speaker 4: Yoshi Yamamoto. First pitch coming up just after four o'clock.
Speaker 4: Yamamoto on the mom the world series hero and the
Speaker 4: Dodgers looking to really put the Blue Jays in a
Speaker 4: tough spot. I then get to Kevin Gosman and I
Speaker 4: we appreciate it, Dave, have great broadcast.
Speaker 2: Thank you guys, looking forward to it.
Speaker 3: There he goes David Massey, Dodgers versus Blue Jays, Yoshi
Speaker 3: Yamamoto on the mound tonight. I doubt that they will
Speaker 3: be as amused as the Dodger fans were on Yoshi
Speaker 3: Babblehead night up there in the Great White North. You holsers,
Speaker 3: stay with us.
Speaker 1: This is Petrone on Demand.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you everybody for listening. Another short show tomorrow
Speaker 3: will be a short show, a full show Thursday and
Speaker 3: three hours on Friday, and it's scheduled talk on Petro
Speaker 3: send money. But isn't it exciting to see the Dodgers
Speaker 3: just step on that maple leaf and crush it into
Speaker 3: the dirty dirt of the North, isn't it? Isn't it gratifying?
Speaker 4: Our Canadian neighbors quite upset with the mcguil roa selection
Speaker 4: into the mound. But hey to the victors go the spoils.
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, they threw a position player out there too,
Speaker 3: they did, and Keith k is hurt. That's who do
Speaker 3: you want? What do you want? Let's play ball, Matt.
Speaker 3: I thought you might enjoy this story. Is it is
Speaker 3: amazing when you read about the circumstances of like the
Speaker 3: sixties and seventies with the mob in New York. It
Speaker 3: really is, because it's hard to imagine such chaos today,
Speaker 3: although I'm sure we haven't, but just not with the
Speaker 3: organized crime types. Kid Blast Joe Gallo born today and
Speaker 3: died today, but would have been ninety seven years old,
Speaker 3: so this would be Italian news. But he was born
Speaker 3: in New York, red Hook, Brooklyn. Dad was a bootlegger,
Speaker 3: did very little to discourage him and his brothers from
Speaker 3: getting into crime. He grew up in Flatbush, where the
Speaker 3: family had a coffee shop, dropped out of school at sixteen,
Speaker 3: bunked his head in an auto accident, and developed a
Speaker 3: nervous tick. That is why he also had the nickname
Speaker 3: Crazy Joe. That and because he was schizophrenic. Oh. He
Speaker 3: saw the movie Kiss of Dath in nineteen forty seven,
Speaker 3: and he loved the gangster character played by Richard Widmark
Speaker 3: and began to mimic his behavior organized crime. He was
Speaker 3: a bad guy, hitman and an enforcer while working for
Speaker 3: the Profossie crime family. In nineteen fifty seven, he murdered
Speaker 3: Albert Anastasia of the Gambino crime family at the Park
Speaker 3: Sheraton barber shop. Just pushed the barber out of the
Speaker 3: way and shot him multiple times. Robert F. Kennedy summoned
Speaker 3: him to DC to be questioned publicly, where he mocked
Speaker 3: Robert F. Kennedy and told him he had a great
Speaker 3: carpet for a dice game. Him and his brothers could
Speaker 3: carpet you guys got here. He also flirted with the secretary.
Speaker 3: Him and his brothers took over one of the families,
Speaker 3: the Profoscies, really, and they took other mobsters hostage, which
Speaker 3: started a gang war, the Colombo Gang War, resulting in
Speaker 3: nine murders and three disappearances. They were staying in a
Speaker 3: dorm during the whole thing. Hit the mattresses. You know,
Speaker 3: that was the Colombo War. In nineteen sixty one, he
Speaker 3: went down for extortion in sixty two. While he was incarcerated,
Speaker 3: his crew, including his two brothers, rescued a bunch of
Speaker 3: children from a burning building in Brooklyn. They got a
Speaker 3: lot of good press. And while in prison, he saved
Speaker 3: a res and rescued a wounded guard during a riot,
Speaker 3: and he got a lot of good press for that.
Speaker 3: So he got paroled in seventy one and became part
Speaker 3: of New York high society, making friends with the actor
Speaker 3: Jerry orb and going around with Orbok when I'm wrong,
Speaker 3: I say I'm wrong. He played Dallo in a movie
Speaker 3: Orbach did It is said that he contracted the shooting
Speaker 3: of Joe Colombo, which led to his paralysis. It was
Speaker 3: like a suicide mission like the Hymen Roth the guy
Speaker 3: that shot him got shot Gallo in nineteen seventy two,
Speaker 3: at four thirty am. You can't I mean, you can't
Speaker 3: make this stuff up. Matt seventy two four eight four
Speaker 3: thirty am with his family entered Umberto's Clamhouse in Little
Speaker 3: Italy to celebrate his forty third birthday and to see
Speaker 3: Don Rickles, who was playing late No Brainer, No Brainer.
Speaker 3: He was spotted, apparently by some Colombo guys, and between
Speaker 3: seafood courses.
Speaker 4: For stallops were delicious.
Speaker 3: Especially enjoyed the scallops. Four gunmen opened fire with revolvers.
Speaker 3: He was shot twenty times in the back, arms, and ass.
Speaker 3: He knocked over a butcher's block, stumbled into the street
Speaker 3: and died. His bodyguard, Pete, the Greek, who was at
Speaker 3: the table, was shot in the hip, helped me Pete. Pete.
Speaker 3: People say he moved to draw fire away from his family.
Speaker 3: Most people believe that it was Frank Sheeron, the Irishman
Speaker 3: of Jimmy Hoff of fame.
Speaker 4: That about Frank Shearon who pulled not.
Speaker 3: End Shearon, Frank shear the guy the the Irishman you
Speaker 3: know the movie, Yeah, not ed Sheeran and James Corden
Speaker 3: taking ownership of.
Speaker 4: His gouvernant, Frank Sharon the hit man.
Speaker 3: At his funeral, his sister yelled over his casket it
Speaker 3: that the streets are gonna run with blood. Joey. So
Speaker 3: they ordered I couldn't believe this story and I left
Speaker 3: so much out. They ordered a killer from Vegas to
Speaker 3: come and kill a couple members of the Colombo crime family.
Speaker 3: The killer didn't recognize him at the restaurant. He went
Speaker 3: to the Neapolitan noodle restaurant and shot another party of
Speaker 3: four up, killing two of them.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, you kind of projected that I.
Speaker 3: Made a mistake. Uh. And then the cops basically covered
Speaker 3: the block that he lived on the city basically condemned
Speaker 3: it and let it sink into an open trench and
Speaker 3: no pail had to move. It's an amazing story.
Speaker 4: What do we do here?
Speaker 3: They let it sink into an open fill it with trench,
Speaker 3: and only four of our families lived there. The others
Speaker 3: that were displaced hundreds of others. Bob Dylan wrote this
Speaker 3: ballad called Joey that he performed with The Grateful Dad
Speaker 3: about him in nineteen seventy six, which was heavily criticized

Speaker 4: a big.
Speaker 3: Town father and his flowers.
Speaker 4: Ally all due respect, I don't think you had a
Speaker 4: goddamn thing to do with it. His father was a
Speaker 4: big brain scientist, technician type, and of course you know
Speaker 4: mid nineteen hundreds or early nineteen hundreds, when you're working
Speaker 4: with gyroscopes, he got a big brain. His son, also
Speaker 4: the man were celebrating today. Robert Metcalf, was big brain.
Speaker 4: He went to MIT. He got two degrees, but easy curriculum,
Speaker 4: just electrical engineering and industrial management. He then went to
Speaker 4: Harvard to get his mastered and applied mathematics.
Speaker 3: Kate's with his history major at UCL license.
Speaker 4: I have but and then he got his PhD in
Speaker 4: computer science. That was nineteen seventy three. While a student,
Speaker 4: he was actively pushing Harvard to connect the university to
Speaker 4: the new developing arpaet, which was the precursor to the Internet,
Speaker 4: but they turned him down didn't quite understand it. So
Speaker 4: he went up the street to MIT and their project MAC.
Speaker 4: He built all the hardware that would link MIT's mini
Speaker 4: computers with arpanet. He did his doctoral thesis on that event,
Speaker 4: and Harvard, perhaps out of spite, rejected it. So no,
Speaker 4: while is not a spiteful no institution. While he was
Speaker 4: working at Xerox in their Future Concepts divisions, still awaiting
Speaker 4: his doctoral degree.
Speaker 3: Xerox used to have it going, like IBM. A lot
Speaker 3: of people don't really did Yeah, and they don't know
Speaker 3: how IBM used to have.
Speaker 4: Oh, they really had it going. He came across alohan
Speaker 4: Net at the University of Hawaii and noticed that there
Speaker 4: were some flaws in their technology, so he fixed them.
Speaker 4: He got it up and running and then submitted that
Speaker 4: as his thesis. It was accepted. He got his PhD.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: While at Park he invented ethernet and his colleague David
Speaker 4: Boggs introduced it to the world on May twenty second,
Speaker 4: seventy three. Cited it was the first time the word
Speaker 4: ethernet ever appeared, and they invented the word as it
Speaker 4: explained the idea of using coax as ether, where the
Speaker 4: participating stations like a look, Pawnet or Arbinet would inject
Speaker 4: their packets of data travel around at megabits per second.
Speaker 4: Took until November of that year for them to actually
Speaker 4: work out all the kinks, and Xerox wasn't that into it,
Speaker 4: so he was just like, all right, it's gonna work,
Speaker 4: So I'm just gonna leave and start my company that'll
Speaker 4: actually produce this stuff. He started three Com took it
Speaker 4: the Silicon Valley in seventy nine, introduced ethernet Ethernet cards
Speaker 4: that would connect computers on a local access network the
Speaker 4: land that you see on the side of your computers
Speaker 4: back in the day. And as you can imagine, it
Speaker 4: took off. They were huge. They used all those profits
Speaker 4: to do what get the naming rights to Candlestick, which
Speaker 4: became three Com Park. From ninety five through two thousand
Speaker 4: and two, they kept growing over six thousand employees. When
Speaker 4: he sold it to HP for two points.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what we're gonna do. We're gonna take
Speaker 3: that pilot trash. In Hunter's point, We're here to slap
Speaker 3: our name.
Speaker 4: On it check it out. With all that money, he
Speaker 4: basically walked away and went back into teaching professor at Texas,
Speaker 4: followed by mit. He's got a bunch of awards, the
Speaker 4: Touran Award, the Medal of Honor, the National Medal of Technology.
Speaker 4: He is in the National Inventors Hall of Fame for
Speaker 4: the ethernet stuff. And he is eighty today. So happy birthday,
