Speaker 3: Did you know that there's even a Sampedro monopoly? I
Speaker 3: didn't know that.
Speaker 4: I didn't know that either.
Speaker 3: There's a business in San Pedro that sells a Sam
Speaker 3: Pedro Monopoly. According to the secret text Osa line, Pat
Speaker 3: Harvey just told us about the new Long Beach Monopoly
Speaker 3: with VIP records in it, and people are like, you're
Speaker 3: chronic Taco. There's a Long Beach Monopoly. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: but it doesn't have VIP record. No, that's what the
Speaker 3: story is about.
Speaker 4: Check this out. Let's play monopoly for five minutes.
Speaker 3: We did local news, we drafted, we played some very
Speaker 3: interesting talkbacks.
Speaker 4: People were upset with the hour before us.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I don't know how much better we did,
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, I guess a lot of people
Speaker 3: talk about pants a lot. Well we are now a
Speaker 3: lot of people have not really a lot of people
Speaker 3: have Monopoly games in their town. But Beach is special. Okay, okay,
Speaker 3: VIP records. Guys, Fine, we'll move on.
Speaker 4: I thought it was a great story.
Speaker 3: No, it's fine.
Speaker 4: A lot of people, well, I think you just usurped
Speaker 4: your own story by pointing out that you don't even
Speaker 4: want Long Beach Monopoly anymore. You want your hometown San
Speaker 4: Pedro monopon.
Speaker 3: I didn't say that I wanted the Pedro.
Speaker 4: You were like, I wanted the Long Beach, and now
Speaker 4: you're like, hey, San Pigo's got one. Now you're already
Speaker 4: off a Long Beach.
Speaker 3: It would be interesting, well, man, I mean, given the choice,
Speaker 3: you know, sure, I know our bridge is not as
Speaker 3: high and we can't get the big boats, and our
Speaker 3: harbor is suffering because we're controlled by LA and the
Speaker 3: Long Beach government, even though they can't solve their homeless problem.
Speaker 3: There's a lot more nimble. It's time for the word
Speaker 3: of the day.
Speaker 1: His words the word of the day.
Speaker 3: Hey, Duran Duran is playing the beach life.
Speaker 4: Duran Duran.
Speaker 3: I can't wait. I might have to go see Duran duck. Yeah, Matt.
Speaker 3: Today's word of the day is the Wolf. Did you
Speaker 3: know a great place to smell chlorine or witness a
Speaker 3: large scale fight with chair throwing? Is the Great Wolf
Speaker 3: Lodge in Garden Grove.
Speaker 4: Seems about right. Your eyes are bleeding from all the chlorine.
Speaker 4: You're in a horrible mood.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter that this room is terrible. I can't see.
Speaker 4: My eyes are bleeding.
Speaker 3: They now sell season passes, Matt. Yes, man, it's, of course,
Speaker 3: the largest chain of indoor water parks in North America.
Speaker 3: Smell the chemicals on.
Speaker 4: That, which makes sense in Omaha. But it's Garden Groove.
Speaker 3: I have a friend that used to go. They got
Speaker 3: a lot more money than I do. They're like, we're
Speaker 3: going to the Great Wolf.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, fun, you're gonna stay there right at
Speaker 4: the hotel on side Uh they did.
Speaker 3: You can get a season path to slide and use
Speaker 3: the amenities. One hundred and thirty dollars for the season
Speaker 3: if you only go on the weekdays, matt Ah, and
Speaker 3: that's when the prime ass is there, and then five
Speaker 3: hundred for the season if you want to go on
Speaker 3: weekends too, and the passes like Russell Wilson are unliaed.
Speaker 3: There are two Great Wolfs in California. One is in
Speaker 3: Garden Grove and the other is in Mentica. Mister unlimited.
Speaker 3: So go crazy kids, as they would say, I feel
Speaker 3: like that's one that you buy. You're like, well, you know,
Speaker 3: we use it four times and it pays for itself,
Speaker 3: and then you go your second time and you're like,
Speaker 3: I can't take this place. Well, they're not coming back
Speaker 3: to her day after Ice suffered from terrible batchulism. Right,
Speaker 3: the kids under fourteen needs somebody twenty one or older.
Speaker 3: So consider that kids under two are free and throw
Speaker 3: your baby right down the slide.
Speaker 4: Your mom's gonna catch you. Now she's done at the bottom,
Speaker 4: But this twisting, turning plastic mass in between me and her,
Speaker 4: it's gonna be all You.
Speaker 3: Howl at the moon slide like the wind and suck
Speaker 3: back a white cloth. Let's get to the Great Wolf Lodge.
Speaker 5: Stupid question for you guys, But you guys have answers
Speaker 5: all the time. If we're in southern California and it's
Speaker 5: like sunny almost ninety percent of the time, why build
Speaker 5: an indoor water park? Why not just have an outdoor
Speaker 5: water park attached to a hotel. It's not Minnesota, it's
Speaker 5: not Wisconsin where they have these indoor ones.
Speaker 3: Hey, you know what you ask stupid questions like that,
Speaker 3: I'm on the hunt, I'm after you.
Speaker 4: It's a very interesting point you bring up too.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's related at all, but I
Speaker 3: saw a coyote jogging straight down my street today.
Speaker 4: The coyotes are extreme.
Speaker 3: He didn't care at all.
Speaker 4: They are rolling deep.
Speaker 3: Oh, I have a question for you, Matt. Yeah, let's
Speaker 3: say I pay Justin Bieber a million dollars to do
Speaker 3: a Coachella appearance, right, that's what his whatever is his
Speaker 3: appearance fee? Does he have to pay to put on
Speaker 3: the show, like the production costs and all that, or
Speaker 3: does that? Does the the the festival cover that too?
Speaker 4: I think to be a little technical it sounds stupid,
Speaker 4: but I guess it just depends on what's the back line.
Speaker 4: If it's already all there and you don't have to
Speaker 4: have anything else, If it's all provided, which I assume
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 3: Well, what if I'm like Resnor dude, and I got
Speaker 3: like five hundred dancers, I gotta buy cost.
Speaker 4: Of paying all? Yeah, you're paying whoever you bring, you
Speaker 4: are paying, But like the all of that, you don't
Speaker 4: have to pay a percentage of that. Coachella is taking care.
Speaker 3: Of all of it. Yeah, the speakers and all, Yeah.
Speaker 4: That's all taking So it's just.
Speaker 3: I've got to pay my own dancers. Yeah, you gotta pay.
Speaker 4: Like if he brought a giant TV to play them
Speaker 4: YouTube videos and that wasn't already there, then he's got
Speaker 4: to pay for that. But I assume the video screen
Speaker 4: is already there and it's used to see him there
Speaker 4: on your screen, see him there on their screen. I
Speaker 4: appreciate that time.
Speaker 3: For the number of the day, here's my number, number
Speaker 3: of the days.
Speaker 4: Number of the day is seven. Uh So, now I
Speaker 4: realized my mistake. Courtesy of this USA Today article about
Speaker 4: the new Laze potato chips honoring the World Cup and
Speaker 4: the flavors recognizing some of the great World Cup countries
Speaker 4: that will make their way to our grocery store shelves.
Speaker 4: Argentinian style steak with Jimmy churry lays, Brazilian garlic sauce lays,
Speaker 4: wavy lays, French onion soup lays. Now, Canada I don't
Speaker 4: think of as a World Cup powerhouse, but they do
Speaker 4: have their own chip, maple, caramel lays, Oh, Mexican taco lays,
Speaker 4: Portuguese charizo and onion lays.
Speaker 3: I thought that was a linguisa, the Portuguese sausage.
Speaker 4: Yeah, perhaps, but this has it combined smoky choriso, the
Speaker 4: metal sweetness of silk onion. And then these pee English
Speaker 4: bangers and mash.
Speaker 3: Oh the full of rasch Marcazi full.
Speaker 4: I mean English. And then I realized the mistake I
Speaker 4: made when I did the crossover, you know, the Ruffles
Speaker 4: Cool Ranch and the Doritos, cheddar cheese and sour cream.
Speaker 4: I never was able to find them in the grocery stores. Well,
Speaker 4: there's a website called snacks dot com where you can
Speaker 4: buy all of these chips and they'll ship them to you,
Speaker 4: so you don't have to worry about whether or not
Speaker 4: your grocery store is going to get their allotment. So
Speaker 4: believe you English Bangers and mash lays. I'm gonna click
Speaker 4: the notify me, and when they notify, I'm gonna buy it.
Speaker 4: Bank Chase Taste Test Tuesday.
Speaker 3: It's a lot less of a commitment than having to
Speaker 3: eat a whole cheese bird or four of them. You
Speaker 3: wouldn't You're not gonna believe this, Matt. I just got
Speaker 3: a text of a palace Vernice Estatesman, you can buy
Speaker 3: the Admiral RISTI.
Speaker 4: See now you're already off a San Pedro.
Speaker 3: Oh and let me just read you one more text
Speaker 3: about the hot air ballooning. Matt, Yes to Macuila emergency landing.
Speaker 3: Neither of us thought it was the very wise to
Speaker 3: go ballooning. Leaven, you draw the line there right, I
Speaker 3: will ball Okay, this says I took my girlfriend now
Speaker 3: wife on a hot air balloon ride years ago. She
Speaker 3: thought it was so romantic. She rode me like a
Speaker 3: Bronco for weeks. Don't knock it until you try it. Well,
Speaker 3: that's a happy Well, that's a pushback on us. Indeed,
Speaker 3: I want to be rode like a Bronco for weeks
Speaker 3: at a time. I look forward to. Uh, I look forward.
Speaker 3: It feels and it feels like it feels like after
Speaker 3: a while, i'd be a little horses shi. But uh,
Speaker 3: I can't wait for that taste test. But please don't
Speaker 3: get the Canadian car.
Speaker 4: No, I'm just gonna get the bangers and oh.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think that I'd like to see when
Speaker 3: our Gentina's got going.
Speaker 4: Notify me Rodio.

Speaker 3: Yesterday on our show, David Vasse willed the Dodgers to victory.
Speaker 3: He looked into Los Ojos de Lobos de Paz and
Speaker 3: staring him down and told him what he expected. He
Speaker 3: did the same to Dino Evil. And now it's time
Speaker 3: for David Vasse of the Dodgers with an inside look
Speaker 3: at the Dodgers. This is the Vasse Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 3: And that was when Dave was in Colorado. Now he's
Speaker 3: in San Francisco as a human weather vein. Tell us
Speaker 3: what's going on out there, Dave? What a scene?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you could keep your dinner reservations. Tonight, guys,
Speaker 2: game will be played. The rain stopped overnight. The Dodgers
Speaker 2: arrived at their team hotel at two am this morning.
Speaker 2: That you too, first pitch. Yeah, that's right, but I
Speaker 2: don't play, so it doesn't matter. Six forty five first
Speaker 2: pitch on time. So yeah, you guys could keep your
Speaker 2: reservations and enjoy the rest of your evening.
Speaker 4: Big night. Yesterday day for Miguel Rojas. I remember you
Speaker 4: telling us as a trade target for Mickey Ross, probably
Speaker 4: years maybe three years before he eventually arrived. What do
Speaker 4: you think the Dodgers thought they were getting when they
Speaker 4: brought him on and ultimately what they did get and
Speaker 4: what he kind of has turned into these few years
Speaker 4: he's been with the club.
Speaker 2: Yeah, remember who the Dodgers traded to the Marlins for
Speaker 2: Miguel Rojas, jacob Amaya, who was not known for his offense.
Speaker 2: He was another defensive type shortstop. But what the Dodgers
Speaker 2: were looking for from Rojas, they start to see signs
Speaker 2: of him showing more fool power because he was coming
Speaker 2: off wrist surgery the year before, and they were looking
Speaker 2: for veteran leadership, a guy that would be happy with
Speaker 2: this role, to be able to play not every day,
Speaker 2: but understand it. And they wanted to bring in a
Speaker 2: guy that has some leadership qualities, and he has exceeded
Speaker 2: all those expectations because nobody thought he would have this
Speaker 2: type of impact on the team and certainly not become
Speaker 2: a legacy player after one of the biggest home runs
Speaker 2: in Dodger history in the World Series last year.
Speaker 3: Hell, they're probably going to have to make him the
Speaker 3: next manager. The great David Vasse is our guest, and
Speaker 3: nobody does it better. All over it. On this road
Speaker 3: trip to Colorado now and San Francisco, you hear the
Speaker 3: hustle and the bustle of the baseball world behind him.
Speaker 3: Speaking of leadership qualities, Dave, Freddy Freeman is back now.
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman is back. He is going to be in
Speaker 2: the starting lineup tonight for the Dogs. He and his wife,
Speaker 2: Chelsea welcomed the arrival of their fourth child, their first daughter,
Speaker 2: and good the baby girl's middle name is Rosemary, to
Speaker 2: honor Freddie's mother. So that's really nice touch and obviously
Speaker 2: sentimental to the Freeman family. So unfortunately for Tim Kats
Speaker 2: and all the other social media Dodger fans out there,
Speaker 2: Ryan Ward has been optioned to Triple A Oklahoma City.
Speaker 3: Ah well, that just puts him back on the farm.
Speaker 3: Report for the next Dodger talk with Tim Kate.
Speaker 4: Now there's a way to catch there we go, Dave.
Speaker 4: We talked about Dalton Rushing the other day, and of
Speaker 4: course a nice benevolent action that you first reported about
Speaker 4: him turning over the start at first base to Ryan
Speaker 4: Ward with his family in town and all that, but
Speaker 4: what did you Obviously, the bat was great, but what
Speaker 4: did you make of how rushing looked man in first base?
Speaker 2: He looked great. No, really tough plays there, but I
Speaker 2: mean he made one nice play early in the game
Speaker 2: with the infield in runner at third base less than
Speaker 2: two outs and he was able to field it cleanly,
Speaker 2: throw a strike to Will Smith and they got that
Speaker 2: runner in a pickle and threw him out. So that
Speaker 2: was a good test. And look, this is going to
Speaker 2: be one of the interesting storylines of the rest of
Speaker 2: the summer. The Dodgers have Freddy Freeman, who's thirty six
Speaker 2: years old when he plays. I mean, the Dodgers are
Speaker 2: in the middle of thirteen in a row right now.
Speaker 2: I know Freddy just left the team to be on
Speaker 2: paternity list, but if he was here the entire time,
Speaker 2: playing four games at coursefield is not easy on anybody,
Speaker 2: and certainly not on a thirty six year old. So
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see if Dave Roberts can convince Freddie
Speaker 2: Freeman to take days off when the Dodgers are in
Speaker 2: these type of stretches of thirteen in a row, nineteen
Speaker 2: in a row. Because Dalton rushing. You know, you never
Speaker 2: know he might be the heir apparent at first base.
Speaker 2: Whenever Freddy calls it a Dodger career.
Speaker 3: The one and only David Vassey is our guest, and
Speaker 3: you hear him from him first the Dalton rush stuff
Speaker 3: to Oscar Hernandez's elbow pad. Everything comes through Dave, usually
Speaker 3: about ten days earlier than everybody else, because, as we say.
Speaker 2: Picle picked it up today. What yeah, what the recycle
Speaker 2: not the athletic, it's the recycled. They recycle all our news.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, day you get them.
Speaker 3: Second second, second city of a road trip. Dave gets
Speaker 3: pretty salty. H Dave tell us a lot of young
Speaker 3: guys are out there making a lot of contributions. Does it?
Speaker 3: Does it? Is this the future of the Dodgers that
Speaker 3: we're seeing out there, or is it just the circumstance
Speaker 3: of this week?
Speaker 2: Like you said, it's the circumstance of the week. But
Speaker 2: it's been an extended period of time where you know,
Speaker 2: with Mookie bets beIN on the injured list, has On
Speaker 2: Kim's getting a lot of play at shortstop with Tommy
Speaker 2: Edmand on the il, Alex Frielan's been playing nice defense
Speaker 2: at second base, and Dave Roberts told me in Denver
Speaker 2: that's the number one ask the Dodgers had in Freeland
Speaker 2: is make defense to your priority, and he certainly has.
Speaker 2: So you're seeing the depth of the organization. We always
Speaker 2: talk about the pitching depth, but to start the year,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers' position player depth has really shined, and they're
Speaker 2: not just out there feeling a spot. They're actually being
Speaker 2: a big part of this offense and big part of
Speaker 2: being the number one defense in all a Major League baseball.
Speaker 2: So I think it goes back to when you ask
Speaker 2: what the difference is between the Dodgers, the Mets and
Speaker 2: everybody else. Is their farm system and the organizational depth
Speaker 2: they have, whether it's on the forty man roster with
Speaker 2: the pitching or with their position players like Kim and
Speaker 2: Freeland and Ryan Ward and Dalton Rushing, that is the
Speaker 2: biggest difference. It's, like I've said so many times, it's
Speaker 2: so lazy to just say the Dodgers have a high payroll.
Speaker 2: They would not be this successful for this long if
Speaker 2: it was just about the money.
Speaker 4: Dave, I'm sure you've been asked, but we haven't asked you.
Speaker 4: So I'll ask. You know, they've won six in a
Speaker 4: row and he's got some wind in his jaws. But
Speaker 4: I don't think Craig Council was asked directly about Otani
Speaker 4: and the rule that allows the Dodgers to have fourteen pitchers.
Speaker 4: But they're coming to town on Friday, so an interesting
Speaker 4: time for him to bitch and moan after leaving Milwaukee
Speaker 4: and Pat Murphy turned him into one of the best
Speaker 4: teams in all of baseball? Like, what did you make him?
Speaker 3: Designed?
Speaker 4: To take a shot at the Dodgers for carrying an
Speaker 4: extra pitcher because they got Otani.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I talked about this on Dodger Talk on Saturday
Speaker 2: after the game because failed GM Jim Bowden actually tweeted
Speaker 2: about this, and I'm wondering if somebody pose that to
Speaker 2: Craig Council and he answered the question, and you're right,
Speaker 2: it's coming out of the blue. But what does Craig
Speaker 2: Council or anybody else want the Dodgers to do. Otani
Speaker 2: doesn't pitch every game. He pitches once a week. So
Speaker 2: are you saying the Dodgers should only have twelve pitchers
Speaker 2: on the days that Otani is just the DH and
Speaker 2: than what you know he's activated as the thirteenth pitcher.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense and there's no solution because he
Speaker 2: is so unique, and as Dave Roberts said after the
Speaker 2: game yesterday, he's unique and he's an exceptional player and
Speaker 2: there's nobody like him. And that's the advantage the Angels had.
Speaker 2: That's the advantage any other team that signed Otani would
Speaker 2: have had of having an extra pitcher on certain days
Speaker 2: that he starts. So it's it sounds like sour grapes.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: And he should just worry about his last place Cubs
Speaker 2: more than he should worry about any sort of rule changes.
Speaker 3: That's where the that's why the Angels won like three
Speaker 3: straight championships with Otania.
Speaker 2: What I mean, what is the solution?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: What? What are these people's solution that the Dodgers should
Speaker 2: taxi a pitcher on the days that Otani's not pitching
Speaker 2: and then deactivate that pitcher. I mean, I guess we
Speaker 2: could go to the NHL route, But that's that's part
Speaker 2: of how great of a player and how unique he
Speaker 2: is that you have to have these type of designations
Speaker 2: on a forty man roster as a two way player.
Speaker 3: Dave, will you be in town in time to see
Speaker 3: Blake Snell pitch for the Tower Buzzers.
Speaker 2: I believe it's gonna be in San Jose. That's where
Speaker 2: he's pitching. He's pitching for Ontario in San Jose, so
Speaker 2: maybe he'll he'll try to catch a ride on the
Speaker 2: Dodger charter on the way back to La.
Speaker 4: So will you go to San Jose to watch him?
Speaker 4: Or will you cover the Dodgers? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 4: Dave pick a lane.
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm staying with the Dodgers. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: if he if he drove from Coachella to San Jose,
Speaker 2: he'll be there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right up the grapevine.
Speaker 4: Busy, busy there, man in the press room.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's popping off. Dave, have fun out there in
Speaker 3: San Francisco and we'll talk to you.

Speaker 4: It is Scoltish.
Speaker 3: What's your wished? Hi?
Speaker 4: Do you have an understand the one.
Speaker 5: That I'm saying, God, your sal I own with the
Speaker 5: scoltish news.
Speaker 4: Well an easy one. As we've done it before, we'll
Speaker 4: do it again. And it is one hundred and eighty
Speaker 4: eighth today for one of the coolest guys ever, John Muir.
Speaker 4: I don't like being inside. I like being outdoors. So
Speaker 4: John Muir's message like the Red House is for me.
Speaker 4: Muir was born in Dunbar, Scotland, and when he was eleven,
Speaker 4: his family moved to Wisconsin. Pops was running a farm.
Speaker 4: Young Johnny grew up and enforced rigid religious lifestyle. Worked
Speaker 4: his ass off long days doing farm chorice, but when
Speaker 4: those were finished, he would run to the nearby woods
Speaker 4: and explorer and he said that's where his real education began.
Speaker 4: He was a tanker as a kid. He loved in
Speaker 4: inventing mechanical gadgets, clocks, tools, anything he could build with
Speaker 4: his hands. Was on a path to be an engineer
Speaker 4: or inventor. But he had that moment, an inflection point
Speaker 4: that would change his life forever. In eighteen sixty seven,
Speaker 4: while working in a factory, Muir suffered a serious eye
Speaker 4: injury that temporarily blinded him. I can't see I hate
Speaker 4: the bones, and that was it. When he regained his sight,
Speaker 4: he decided he did not want to spend his life
Speaker 4: indoors any more. He wanted to see all that was
Speaker 4: out there in the world, really see it living.
Speaker 3: What come on? What's wrong with a nineteenth century factory?
Speaker 4: So Mr just started walking, literally, started out on a
Speaker 4: one thousand mile journey from Indiana, Florida, a trip that
Speaker 4: he wrote about in his book One Thousand Mile Walk
Speaker 4: to the Gulf. Traveled mostly on foot, slept outdoors, studied plants, animals,
Speaker 4: landscapes along the way. That became the beginning of his
Speaker 4: life as a naturalist as a writer. But it was
Speaker 4: our state, Pe, the Golden State, that really got him going.
Speaker 4: When he first saw I believe it's pronounced yosumite.
