Please. All right, now, let's bring on the man who's plugged
in that knows all. It is David vassaying Dave. Good afternoon, Hey
guys, Hey Dave, thanks for coming on. Dave. My pleasure,
guys out here at Dodger Stadium. Finally blue skies after consecutive rein delays over
the weekend. So it's great to have the sun back out of here at
Dodger Stadium. You damn right, Dave, and you are always relevant.
I don't care what anybody says. Well, you didn't think that was gonna
come update, No, I had a feeling it would, but I was
not the one that said it. That was Will Smith. After the middle
game of the series, and look, I guess why did the benches come
out for that? I didn't understand. I don't know either. It seemed
like an overreaction by Profar number one, And as you heard last night on
Sunday Night Baseball, he seemed a little embarrassed that he overreacted the way he
did. And at Dodger Stadium last night, obviously he was not that relevant
because the fans did not boo him loudly like they booed Manny Machado before he
cleared the bases with his bubble. But I'm sure the next time the Padres
come to town, Dodger fans will be well aware of who Jerkson Profar is.
All Right, Dave, we look at the pitching in the Padres series
and kind of went sideways for the Dodgers, I said her earlier and said,
it's going to take time to figure it all out. Is there anything
to worry about? They gave away Friday night, honestly, and yesterday was
just one of those games where James Paxton didn't have control eight walks and five
innings, and the relievers Dave Roberts Broaday and obviously were not much better.
The only thing I would you know, reset, is what Mookie Bet said
before the season that teams are not going to go away, especially the San
Diego Padres against the Dodgers. They're just not going to go away. And
the Dodgers have to keep going as far as tacking on runs and putting teams
away, because on Friday night they did not score after the third inning,
and they scored all four of their set or excuse me, all seven of
their runs with four home runs, So that's part of it. Yeah,
they got to put teams away when they're up seven to three. They got
to keep the foot on the gas. They how how much did that say
the importance of Daniel Hudson and Evan Phillips not being available Sunday? How much
does that speak to their importance and the rest of the bullpen? Well,
Rodney, they can't pitch every night, right, they just can't. So
other guys are going to have to do it. In tie games and games
where the Dodgers are down a run, you're going to have to use the
guys that Dave Roberts was deploying, because you can't pitch Evan Phillips when you're
losing when you're tied when and Daniel Hudson in the same role, so you
got to get contributions from everybody. And you know, JP Fireeisen was the
guy that people were saying it's going to be a big factor for this bullpen
after the Dodgers signed him two years ago after Tommy John surgery. To pitch
this year, I don't see it. Ninety one miles an hour from a
right handed reliever is not going to get it done. So unless that velocity
ticks up and he gets more movement on his fastball, I just don't see
how he can be a mainstain in the bullpen. Dave, what other bullpen
options do they have? Kyle Hurt would be a good one. I have
no idea why he's not here, but I will anticipate him being activated in
the next two days because Tomorrow and Wednesday, the Dodgers are going to have
to plug in a couple of holes in their rotation. Tomorrow night with Bobby
Miller's nights to start, he's on the il, so they're going to have
to go with a bullpen game or a spot starter tomorrow. And I know
they were considering a bullpen game on Wednesday before this injury to create an extra
day's rest for your guy, Yoshi Yamamoto, I'll concerned. Should we be
about Bobby Miller? Is this just precaution, that's just a minor situation that
they put him on the IL well. I would say he was relieved by
what he told me yesterday. He he was concerned it was going to be
in the labrum or something like that. But the MRI came out to give
him a lot of relief, and he did not receive a quarter zoner epidural
injection. So that's another great sign. And another good sign is that if
his shoulder cools down here with inflammation, he may start throwing again by the
time the Dodgers leave for the road trip, which is after Sunday's game against
the Mets. David Vsse is joining us from Dodger Stadium. I made this
comment earlier, Dave. You're with him every day you do Dodger talk.
There's nobody more plugged in than you. When Rodney asked the question eighteen games
in, did you think they'd be eleven and seven or a little better.
I have to tell you it's a long year. They're working stuff out I
actually thought they'd be better than eleven and seven right now. They were on
their way, but they've given away a couple of games. They gave away
one in Minnesota, they gave away one on Friday Night, So they given
away a couple of games, and I think they're just going to have to
realize that teams are not going to go away, and they are going to
get teams best shot, like tonight, for instance, the Washington Nationals.
This is going to be the biggest series they play outside of playing the Braids
in the regular season. So these young guys on the Nationals, they want
to make a name for themselves, and what better place to do it than
at Dodgers Stadium against the big bad Dodgers. Dave, do you think there's
any Is there any mentality or sense that this team is like, we've got
so much power offensively, sooner or later the offense is going to get it
done and carry us well. I would say the first four guys certainly are
doing that right now. But Maxi month Santioscar Hernandez have been good. Hernandez
has been better than what I thought. But they start they need to start
getting regular contributions from guys like Kei k Hernandez James Outman, Avin Lux,
the seven eight to nine hitters to really get this thing going on all cylinders,
because right now one of the first four is in a slump in his
last ten games. Freddie Freeman is only hitting two to eight and inevitably everybody's
going to hit a bump in the roads. And that's where these role players
have to make this lineup longer. Hey Dave, what's going on at the
stadium tonight for Jackie Robinson. Well, the first forty thousand fans in attendance
are going to get a Brooklyn B. Dodger caps in honor of Jackie Robinson.
And in just about ten minutes here Dodger players are going to be in
full uniform, as are the Washington Nationals. They're going to congregate right in
the center field plaza around the Jackie Robinson statue. Doctor Harry Edwards, who's
educators, sociologists and civil rights activists, is going to be there. One
of Jackie and Rachel's grandchildren is going to be out there as well. So
that's turned into an annual tradition at the Dodgers Stadium ever since they built the
Centerfield Plaza, and especially ever since they've built that Jackie Robinson statue. Every
Jackie Robinson day, the Dodgers and whichever team is in town, go out
there and have a reflection time. Awesome, awesome, all right, Dave,
Well, we appreciate you coming on. We know you got to run.
Thanks for doing this today. Okay, guys, thanks, all right,
there he goes David Vasse out of Dodger Stadium. Pardon me, Dodgers
and Washington Nationals tonight. You know what, Rodney, somebody needs to go
to that game. Somebody does. Let's do that right now. Let's give
it away, friend, Let's give it away. Eight six, nine seventy.
Here's the deal. Two tickets to the AM five to seventy sweep four
tonight. So don't call if you can't go tonight. And if that's a
problem with your boss, you let us know his number and we'll call him
before we go off the air. Yes, we will let you leave early
from work. Good luck. Call it number eight. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, it's Monday, Jackie Robinson today, Rodney beat fred Rogan.
Come on, that's finish, is strong? Freddy? All right?
Let's do it? Uh? Who Kevin, do we know who won the
tickets? Did you already tell me and I missed it? No? No,
I have not told you yet. It was Tony in Ventura. There
go. Tony says he can go from Ventura. He did say he can
go. I did better start gribbing now, Oh my god, you better
get on the road. He may be from Venture. He may not be
in Ventura right now, though, Fred. If he is in Ventura and
he leaves right now, he can make it. Oh he'll make it.
Yeah, but it'll take him what do you think, hour and a half
two hours? At least two, Yeah, at least two, because he's
coming up to one oh one. Yeah. So he's gonna hit all that
traffic. Yeah, Calabasas. You'll hit it at Calabasas. He'll hit it
again. He'll hit it again at that one on one four five interchange.
He'll you know where else he's gonna get it it Receive a boulevard. Yeah,
he'll hit it at Receive a Boulevard. Then it'll pick up a little
bit. Then he'll hit it at the interchange. Yep. He'll hit it
at the one o one four hitter change. Oh, you know, he'll
hit it there, because you've only got two ways, you know, he
got those two lanes. Now he could he could try this. He could
swing over to the one oh one, just stay on the one oh one,
get off at sunset and then try to go up. He could try
that, Yes he could, yes, right, yeah he could. That
might That might knock twenty five minutes off. Or he could jump around to
the five. Nah, because he did four oh five going north to get
to the No, he couldn't. Yeah, that would kill it. No,
you don't want to do that, because then he'd have to go what
to the what is it, the one oh five? He'd have to go
the four oh five to the one oh five to the five, not the
one o five it's eighteen. Oh no, No, he could not the
one o five down by the airport. Where you going? Well, I
thought you meant he could hit the five that way you're saying. You're saying
he takes the twenty three to the one eighteen. Yeah, yeah, get
it of five, five around the five and come back to back way.
You guys, sound like work. You saw the California from SNL right now,
take the four o five get off of britwool no, his best shot.
He's really his best shot. Look, if Tony's obviously he's listening,
and if he's in Ventura, i'd get to I'd get the hoofing. I'd
get the hoofing. Because you gotta go through Oxnard, cam Rio right,
Newbury Park, you gotta go West Lake, Calabasses the hoof right. Then
you gotta go through Woodland Hill. You gotta get to Tarzana Ensino. Then
you'll hit Sherman Oaks. You gotta go up through Studio City. That if
you come around, if you stay on uh, if you take the one
thirty four, then you go by to Luca Lake Burbank and you'll finally get
there. Hey, you know what, it's our pleasure, it's our plagu
We're not metro traffic. You've already brought to you by right, We're not
metro traffic. But we can help Fred. You already take the job away
from the weather people. You're taking it from the traffic people to now.
Yeah, exactly. Well, I don't know many routes, Kevin, but
I know that one clearly. When we lived in Calabasas, it was so
bad to go down to the Crypt to watch hockey or something for a seven
o'clock game. I kid you not. We would leave at two fifteen in
the afternoon. What time would you get there? Well, if I left
it, If we left it two fifteen on a Saturday, Rodney, No
on Saturday, Oh, I swear to God. And we would get down
there probably by three twenty three thirty hockey game and we would just sit there
because if you left at four, let's say, you don't know what's going
to happen to you. Oh you saying you got there early just to be
down there, Okay, Yeah, that you don't know what's going to happen.
If you tried to leave at four o'clock for a seven o'clock game,
you have no idea. You could be in your car two and a half
hours easily, easily. I mean if you live in that area and you
were going to the stadium or the crypt, that is a schlep. That
is a problem. You might as well spend the night down there downtown before
the game because it is long. I mean, I know where you come
from, and you can get stuck in traffic too. Absolutely, and you're
not start in Calabasas. No, No, it's tough coming around that.
Yeah, and there's no easy way to get there. That's the problem.
There's no easy way to get to either Dodger Stadium or the Crypt. Downtown
LA used to be where it lived. On the other side, the hill
just hit got to Olympic, and Olympic would usually float pretty good. But
right, yeah, yeah, but now it's hard to even get to the
Olympic. You can't even get there fast. You know what you need to
do. You need to live where I live. You want to know why,
Downtown twenty five minutes, it's easy. Dodger Stadium eighteen minutes. You're
in a straight shot now, yeah, straight shot. And I've told you
my philosophy and I'll share it with you now. And you should keep this
in mind if you ever need me in this situation. Nine minutes from Burbank
Airport, if you fly into town and you need a ride, you need
a friend to pick you up. Yes, if you fly into Burbank,
I will be right there. I have a system. I go sit in
Del Taco in the parking lot there, and when you land, you text
me and I'm right there. I will be happy to do it. If
you fly into Lax, you are on your own. I don't care how
you get to where you're going. Hey, it could be my brother even
b Holly, I'm not coming to pick you up from l e X.
I'm not doing it. I am not doing it. But if it's the
Southwest Terminal first one, no, no, still, because you get out,
you still got to go all the way around. No, all the
way, but you can cut through, but you cut through by United.
Yeah, but man, it's still. If it's American all the way in
the back, no, you're on your own, absolutely not not having it.
American or Delta No, no, no chance, or the Tom Bradley
Terminal International flights. You are on your own, lax forget and and they're
trying to get everything built down there for the Olympics, which makes it worse.
Now, Yeah, it's bad. You know, we get a story
out here. I think I told you about my special investigative report on airport
parking. Have I told you about this? No, my special investigative report.
Because the way this works out here, people email and they tell us
what the problems are, and then we use that stuff on the air.
It's the news people want to hear about, not what we tell them.
They should know anyway, everybody's bitching about the parking out here at the airport.
So and I thought, no, I know, I know parking.
I know airport parking. We live in LA we know what this is like.
So no, they were very upset, and they said, you can't
find a place to park. So I drove down there on a Saturday morning.
Haley was flying in from Arizona, so I went to pick her up,
and I took my phone and I just stuck it out the window of
my car, and I drove her on the parking lot for twenty minutes and
I couldn't find a place to park. And anytime there'd be a place,
somebody would jump in ahead of me and I would talk about it. So
this was twenty minutes of me recording on my phone. We cut it down
into four minutes, we put music behind it, and we called it our
special Investigative Report on airport parking. People actually said, thank god you did
that investigation. I drove around the airport looking for a parking place for twenty
minutes. We cut it into four minutes and put music. People thought I
was like sixty minutes. I was all over the airport parking controversy, and
then they complained that when you got inside the airport, there are not enough
seats. Right, Yeah, there was enough room, because what they want
to do is open the airport up to come on down during the day.
You got a day pass. Hang out here, hang out, hang out,
right, But then people said you can't do that because there's nowhere to
sit and there's not enough room. So as part two of my investigative report,
when Haley got off the plane, I had her record herself. She
goes, Hi, I'm Haley Rogan inside the airport for the Rogan Report and
just take videos of no seats and everything, and then I connected it to
the four minute thing of me driving around the parking lot. People thought I
had spent six years preparing this thing. Twenty five minutes. Oh my god,
your investigation on airport. I'll show the people taking your parking spot swoop.
Oh yeah, of course I did, and you'd hear me yell out
and wind go hey, that's mine. Yeah yeah. Did you record yourself
bitching Adam? Yeah I did, oh yeah, And then they sent me
to the overflow lot where they told you you can't leave your car. It
was great, but the thing is. And then I ran this whole thing,
and I said, I understand the frustration with parking, but when you're
from Los Angeles, you know how bad airport parking really is. I mean,
that's a walk in the park compared to what we go through with LAX,
because that is the ultimate nightmare. Again, I don't pick people up
at a LA don't either, Do I drop you off? But I will?
Oh no, you need to be dropped off at the airport. Sure,
well, just be outside at nine point thirty. Really, yeah,
I'll take care of it. Great, go out. What are you doing.
I'm sitting on the couch. The upers out there. Go, I'm
not taking you to the airport. No hoops at LAX, right, LAX.
You can't even get close? How bogus is that? Yeah? That's
terrible? How awful is that? So you do the smart thing. It's
a ride chair. You don't want to drive down there. They you're like
five miles from the airport, yes if that's an exaggeration, but you're not
close, and then you gotta wait for the bus to take it. That
thing is messed up. I think they should just shut down l a X
all together, shut it all down. That's it. No more flights at
Lax. The Chamber of Commerce is calling Kevin. A tourism board is called.
No Rodney, we're gonna just rode everybody to Santa Monica. That'll be
great. No, Fred, We'll just ride them all to Burbank and you
can pick everybody up and say come back and be there so far overload Burbank.
All right, now it's time. Now, it's time for spirituality,
and let's welcome on the man that will provide it. Victor Brick with the
daily hikup a two. He's all coach, shell it out. The dual
LiPo sets got him up off his seats of Fred Rogan I love it.
He flung the ceremonial first pitch Friday at Chevez Ravine. Rodney, Pete,
there he is me t p right on. Thanks for your note. Nick.
I thought you were gonna throw the football, ruder, I know,
base had me pumped up and they said, no, no, Dice,
this is a baseball field. This is Chavez Res and Ravine. We don't
throw footballs here. During the first pitch, we throw baseball. They wouldn't
allow me. He were some nice speed on that pitch. Yeah, a
little bit a little too hot. R Jake wouldn't hit the guy if there
was a batter up there. And you know, I was just a little
bit inside. Oh you're holy. Well he's not pomp or ceremony. He
is loved o Kevin figure not come on nah and keeping it real allah Shaggy
Ah, Roddy Fossio. He's got a backstage past, y'all, King Flavor
Shaggy really keeping it real where you guys? Stunned at how well the Lakers
play the last couple of nights, a little bit on the on the road.
They take care of business in Memphis. Scary how good they can be,
VIC when they want to be exactly, and we can't forget Memphis.
They had to get by Memphis to get to Nolan's, so they have VIC.
Really the game, VIC, the game in Memphis. Come on,
you had to you had to listen, you had to beat who was in
front of you. Yeah, and they didn't look great against Memphis. Come
on, VIC, Well they won by three right, Yeah, that with
a bunch of his eyes that they picked up at a bus stop outside Memphis,
didn't even have anything. Who are those guys? But then they go
into Nolan's. They had to do that one. Yeah, oh man,
they bowled with a disdain for death, sublime in its essence, A two
fae the pales by seventeen. Nice. I see what you did there,
Vic, And they got the eighth seed and the rerun in noleans tomorrow and
that is your season because the winner claims the seventh seed and then you get
the world champion Denver Nuggets. So that that is waiting for the winner of
tomorrow's game, Lakers Pelicans. That's okay, you got to get You gotta
go through Denver sometime. No, yeah, you do. Absolutely. It's
gonna be tough for the loser of that game because you get the Sacramento Golden
State survivor. So there's a lot of machinations, a lot of Kakammy rotations
with the play in It's it's wild, but basically you just win and keep
moving on. Man, you got those Kakamami rotations. Yeah, cocka mamy.
How about how about Lebron James with a triple double? Yes, Anthony
Davis at thirty before Larry Nance put the the elbow in his back and spasmed
the bro man that spasm. I take a break. I gotta get some
icy hot after hearing about the spasm. All right to ye who did know?
They can continue here in a minute. Come on, We're not done.
We still got to have some spitchuality Rodney p Fred Rogan Vic the Brick
Jacobs, Rodney. The Dodgers take on the Nationals tonight with the first pitch
at seven. Listen to the action on AM five seventy LA Sports Live from
the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth, and stream the game in HD on the iHeartRadio
app. The keyword is AM five seventy LA Sports. Vic Tyler Glass now
to restore order as our man Tony drives in from Ventora. Congratulations Tony,
I meant fourteen walks that was crazy. No oh yeah, too many,
Vic, that's too many free passes. But again your Lakers with a fabulous
red of Nolan's sevent deep breaths Laker fans. But Anthony Davis will ball tomorrow,
That's what he says. He caught that elbow from Larry Nance, the
ex Laker. Everyone remembers Larry. He says he's going to keep it loose.
Yes, it locked up on him though, and that was scary.
Had a hyper extension of the lower back. But Anthony Davis will get that
massage that'll electro stem and he'll be ready for tomorrow's humongous run in Nolan's.
One thing that strikes me what the Lakers tell us the fabulous ball movement.
You know, the ball is finding the energy, and there's a lot of
energy on this team, and they just look fabulous. You think maybe the
first time Ruey hat Tomorrow beats some back door for a dunk, they'd stop
it and not allowed to happen, like fifteen more times, just sitting there
like, and I'm not some basketball tactician, but I was like, maybe
you make some sort of adjustment. They didn't know, right, Kevin,
I thought I was watching the same who rewound that. It's like, my
god, you guys catch SNL with Caitlin Clark. I saw it. I
did. Was that hilarious? I mean the first pick later in the w
NBA Draft by the Indiana Fever. Let's face it. But Clark stole the
show on SNL on the weekend update segment with Colin Joseph Michael j. I
thought their whole segment was hilarious, Really, it really was. It was
one of the best segments. Ryan Gosler was hosting, which was fun.
But Caitlin Clark, I mean, she was wonderful. I mean Chay mocked
women sports. So Clark gives Jay the signed apron, mocking Jay for that
earlier bit. Right, she says, you know, so Chase says to
Caitlin, thank you, Katherine, give it to my girlfriend. And then
Kathin cracks back, Michael, you don't have a girlfriend. Brilliant, brilliant
that line though, where Jay talked about OJ passing, Oh yeah, prostate
cancer, the l A p D Planet. It was awful, but it
was funny Rodney and they had some material man, and then how classy is
Calin Clark closing out the segment giving love to women's hopes legends from Lisa Leslie
from Inglewood or Lisa usc to Dawn Staley. Thank you. You gotta believe
that was written for right. I don't think she was at living that she
was reading, Well, they're all reading off something Fred, Yeah, but
I think it was her idea to give them props. Yeah, she might
have said, yeah, I want to do that is let me dig into
Chay and then let me give you know, give love to uh, you
know, to the women you know who paved the way for me. I
thought that was just a tremendous segment because, let's face it, SNL has
been in a slump the last few years with the right with the skits and
the writing, and I'm a I'm a devotee. I mean I I've loved
that show since its inception. It's an amazing show. Yeah, they lost
Kristin Wig. That started to downfall of it a little bit. Yeah that
was some years ago. That was harsh. You guys, Coachella fans,
fred I know you were checking out du A LiPo. But really a very
solid weekend. Lena del Ray sensational set on Friday, Billy Billy Eilish was
on stage giving love to del Ray. Shakira announced a new world tour on
stage with a Bizarro rap. Then you had Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift dropping
in to see a couple of sets by a Bleachers and Ice Spice. Then
a Saturday Gwen Stefani The Reunion with No Doubt was very very cool. Olivia
Rodrigo was jamming with Anaheim's own Stefani Powerful sky y'all Yes Served Served up.
Yeah, it was you're considering, you know, people before the show,
before the concerts saying it it was a week Coachilla. Well, it was
a sold out Cocholla and it was it was. It was on Jay Balvin.
Did you hear who he brought He brought the house down with Last night
he brings in Will Smith, Will Smith jamming his men in black. Agent
j was riffling with the record tone King. So there's a lot going on
at uh Cochello. One more weekend this coming week. But that was that
was that's my friend's little tired. He'd been at cochel every night. He
was, od, I gotta tell you stories about you know what I learned
something about Coachella. I'll tell you tomorrow. Remind me, remind me,
I'll tell you tomorrow. You know what? That brings us to vic right
to the source fread Yes, well this high coup on this Monday, April
fifteenth, we give love to the great Jackie Robinson. This is a high
coup for forty two. So you wrote it, yes, okay, Jackie
Robinson, ultimate freedom fighter, transcendent, the sacred forty two in blue American
hero, Jack. We love you a feeling you okay, Vic, celebrate
the night, Bust the rhymes on him? Vick? Are you rhymes on
