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.
