the gas lamp and get shanked afterthe game. That's right. That in
turn means we start an hour early. They start thirty minutes before the Dodgers,
an incongruity that we have a hardtime dealing with over the years.

(01:29):
Jeremiah joining the show PM. Yes, decided to weigh in on the sunflower
seeds controversy. And what does thatget you? DJ booked, booked for

Dodgers padres Tim kaits at seven andno one, no one is not going
to be listening to that off nightDodger talk. Let's l f G.
(02:15):
Yes, Tim, you should belistening if you're a Dodger fan. I
got the voice of the Rancho Cuokamongaquakes. We discussed this. I got
the voice of the Tulsa Drillers,the double A team coming on where Diego
Cartaya and Dalton Rushing are at lovean update on both guys. Is that
the same guy that we put onto help us learn how to pronounce no?
That was you're a racist? Thatwas the triple A voice from Okacy.
(02:37):
I don't know. So we gotTulsa Rancho Cook. That means a
trifect on AM five seven of yourDodger station. We have now caught.
Now all you need is the GreatLakes Loons voice. The voice of the
used to know the voice of theLUNs. But he got a job.
He's now the voice of the Blackhawks. I like to think I earned the
job. He earned the job.Thank you as the voice of the Blackhawk.
(02:58):
Thank you. But when I wasI did an Arizona Arizona State game
with him, and at that pointhe was the voice of the voice of
the Loons. I'm the voice ofthe Loon. And he sent me a
loon's hat, and unfortunately, likeso many people that will send me a
hat, it was too small,looked like a Yamaica on me. And
now my son wears the Loons.Is that right? That's right? So
he must have sent you too,because you gave me one. I have
(03:19):
a loon's hat courtesy of you.So perhaps he sent a pair. I
think Fletcher might have worn it fora little while. It was too big
for him. Might have sent too, he was too small for him.
He might have sent two. Isa wild back. Yeah, I've had
it for a few years now.Gosh, I forget the guy's black hat
with that loon with the with thebatting stance. Different one, okay,
but I think he did send twodifferent one on one Fletcher hats. I
was gonna say the one I hadwas one of the few caps that fits.
(03:42):
I forget the guy's name, forGod's sakes, but he is a
loony loon. He's the voice ofthe Blackhawks. Now. He's a great
guy. The one thing I wasa little nervous because I arrived late.
I had called the Sunflower showdown.His name is Chief, described things in
great detail. It is he really, that's Chief Chief skit in the past
uh he. I was a littleconcerned because he didn't have a lot of
(04:04):
experience in football and we were atthe Arizona Arizona the Arizona walkthrough in Tucson,
and he's like, why are theretwo teams? I was like,
well, what is the offense andone's the defense. Oh. I was
like, are you talking about thegreat Chris Foster. Foster a great guy.
And I also noticed he had anunbelievable was a young guy, very
(04:27):
talented broadcaster. And you don't getthat Blackhawks job just by being a stiff.
I'll tell you that. How dareyou? It covered up Kates.
There was an a a lot ofa lot of wispy nose hair. Oh
but blonde, so barely bary youcouldn't see it. But that aired that
deserts a little too young for wispynose. I know that desert wind was
(04:48):
blowing his nose hair. An oldman's nose hair is more gristle brittle.
This was a wispy young man's nosehair. And I was like, we
were doing the opening. He's like, and let's talk about this team.
And to thought, I was like, Wow, that nose hair is really
waved. It's like a wheat fieldover there. He's cleaned up pretty well.
Fosters. Yeah, when he waswith the Loans, he kind of
had the comb over. Yeah.Now he's in the city, Joe,

voice of MLB Sunday Game of theWeek on Peacock. Is that right?
(05:36):
I didn't know they had a gamethat all my ex partners get hired by
the baseball time talk about climbing theranks. Peacock Game of the Week.
Kidding me, man, I seehim coming and I see him going.
It's time for the final hour offun fact. It's fun effect. It's
yeah, we're three. All theNBA is going to Peacock. Matt this
(05:56):
I uh, this I do foryou. Marathon talk, Oh wow,
please don't overdo it. The twentysix point two mile length of a marathon
was not established by those disorganized andlazy Greeks. Instead, it was made
official in twentieth century London, asit was the distance between Windsor Castle and
(06:23):
the Olympic stadium, and they decided, well, what's all this marathon and
Athens the war and dropped dead andall that. Matt, let's talk about
some of the stories your old mantold you about, mild Man, this
guy's a Greek and that guy you'regoing. You got a lot of pushback
on your ATM yesterday too. Idid tremendous amo. Yeah, I double
vetted that. Yeah, you shouldhave made gone triple. It's a first
(06:45):
ATM not attached to a bank.There you go, a standalone right,
So marathon, the town in Greecedoesn't exist here. Before this marathon,
distances were arbitrary and varied by severalmiles. That makes so there was six
point two. Was the marathon inspiredby the run by the messenger that killed
him to from Perez to Athens.Yes, that's the marathon, right,
(07:09):
quick hits, everybody, someboms,quick hits. Come make it quick,
y'all. Yeah. Well, theDodgers are on a roll, and Tim
Kat's off night Dodger talk will mirrorthat greatness. They're in San Diego tomorrow
for the start of the weekend seriesversus the Padres. The Angels are at
(07:29):
home tonight versus the k C Royals. Off the field, the Angels acquired
infielder Luis Guillel from the Braves,and they made room for him by says
here, Anthony Rendon was moved tothe sixty day I L with a hamstring
injury. Guy that's played about thirtypercent of the games in every season since
(07:54):
he signed for two hundred and fiftymillion bucks with the Angels has now been
moved to a two months injured listswith a hamstring injury. He is flirting
with most disappointing Angel of all time. You got Hamilton, you got mo
Vaughn. I mean, there's athere's a long line. Listen. That
was a bad concrete job that didin mova On if those steps are poured
(08:18):
correctly in the dugout movaugh as aHall of Fame career with the Halo's did
in line with Rett and Don Andwho was the pitcher that was supposed to
keep what's his name in line?Hamilton in line? CJ. Wilson.
Yeah, he was fit. Yeah, a long line of disappointing people.
I'll tell you who. None ofthese guys are fred Linn. None of
them are fred Linn, Hero ofthe people. Exactly right. Lakers are
(08:41):
still without a head coach. Wowday six. They do have some ideas
though, Yes, Byron Scott,former Lakers head coach, former Laker head
coach, former Laker great maybe alittle upset that Morningside High School as alma
maters going away could be that inInglewood could have been his summarily dismissal from
the Lakers as their head coach.One of the worst head coaches in the
history of the Lakers organization. Icalled for Kobe player coach. You did,
(09:05):
I called Lebron player coach, andnow years ago, finally somebody is
heeding my warning. But it seemslike a snarky warning. It's very undisputed
by a swoll looking Byron Scott,It's obvious to me at least that he's
making a lot of decisions just goingon in this organization, no doubt,
from a coaching standpoint to a playerstandpoint. So if you're going to allow
(09:26):
him to make those decisions, siton the bench and make those decisions as
well, beat a head coach,JJ red coach, player head coach.
So some of the names that I'veheard, you know, you obviously have
to get somebody that Lebron is comfortablewith from a head coaching standpoint. You
(09:48):
know, the last name I heardwas JJ Reddick. When I started laughing,
Well, now they got a podcasttogether, so y'all, comey,
y'all buddy, buddy, So nowhis name is on the list. So,
as far as I'm concerned, podcastis an ex o's podcast. So
they're talking real hardcore basketball. Goahead, yeah, okay, okay,
But as far as I'm concerned,the only person that he's gonna really trust
(10:09):
is itself. And since you're makinga lot of these decisions anyway, why
not put him in that seat.It's true, Hey, you want to
get all these coaches fired, howabout you high yourself. See if you
fire yourself, because you won't,you don't want to take the heat.
You've got to have that middleman totake the fall. Likely Lebron wins a
championship, it's because Lebron's amazing.Lebron loses a championship, coach gets fire,
(10:31):
gets fired. So how about yousit in that seat. Do you
see that clip that's making the roundsnow on Twitter? In the Denver game,
late stages, they call it timeout and Darvin Ham is like,
where's the whiteboard? Where's it at? And you hear Lebron go give me
the board. I'll draw it up. Give me the board, Give me
the board. Okay, yeah,like there it is. The head coach,
(10:52):
take the board. We never reallyso whether Darvin Ham could coach or
not we never found out. Andwhether or not Rob Polaker could be a
good GM or not, we neverfound out. And at this point,
when Genie Buss as the owner,we're not finding out runs at all.
The Pacers Matt are very upset aboutthis Knick series. A lot of f
bombs flying out there on the Eastcoast. Rick Carlisle was booted yesterday in
(11:16):
the final minute, double technical andseventy eight instan You can submit your qualms
to the League office of what youbelieve were incorrect calls by the referees.
They said that there were twenty nine, I believe in game one, but
they were comfortable sitting on those.We wanted to take the high road until
the last Game two. Here Ilet it slide. The first time they
(11:39):
added another forty nine. They're likethe hell with this, So they submitted
seventy eight instances of what they believeare incorrect non calls to the NBA put
them at a disadvantage Game one,Game two against New York. As part
of protocol, the Knicks will seethose clips as well. Quote. I'm
always talking to our guys about notmaking it about the officials, but we
deserve a fair shot, yes,said Carlisle, Isle implying. He then
(12:01):
went on to say that we're ina small market. Okay, I get
it. I get Oh he reallywent hard. Well, I get that
they want the Knicks. Yeah,I felt that energy in Madison Square guard.
It's hard to overcome that. Butcome on, he knows. Carlisle
no been around the league. Kid. My guys a fair shape. They
deserve it. They've earned it.And Matt, you talked about this yesterday.

(20:15):
two to five thirty Flex Alert Showand joining us right now. Hunger strikes
all over the country and his introsong Hyder Strike. They didn't send actual
university medical personnel. I'm literally shakingthe great Don McLain working out his CAA
draft class. These days a verytrying time of year, and of course
(20:40):
the NBA playoffs are raging without theLA teams. UCLA's picking up a lot
of transfers. Here to discuss itall is the leading score in the history
of the PAC twelve The Baron ofBox Canyon, the statue in Lemon Park
and see Me Valley. The nextassid Kisses will be the first on your
Southern California to Toyota do their celebrityline it in the Snake Killer himself Don
(21:03):
McClain, Hello, Don, howare you? How's it going? Guys?
Not that you care, but Iam making my triumphant return this year
to the NBA Combine in Chicago.I take a few years off. I
am actually I am going again thisyear just because so when you're walking the
floor of the NBA Combine and cheatto go, is it a lot like
(21:25):
Jerry Maguire walking the floor of theNFL draft back all the day. I
mean, like just a lot ofhigh fives and glad handon. No,
not at all. I'm actually goingbecause with all that they have to do
with medicals and interviews, and someof our guys play five on five,
some don't, some just test,some just drill. So we try and
get some work in at night whenthey're all done with all their stuff to
(21:45):
kind of keep what we've built herethe last five six weeks so that when
they get back it's getting close forthem getting ready to go out on the
road and start working out for teams, so we don't lose all that during
the week there in Chicago. Speakingof Chicago, Don had this story a
little bit earlier in the week.Are you surprised that it was a big
(22:07):
ten related news item that Bobui,who's had a hell of a career at
Northwestern damask from Illinois, great shooter, and you know how important he was
to that team. Neither of themgot a combine invite, but Bronnie James
did. I would assume is itteam driven who they want invited to the
Combine? Like, how do theycome up with that list? The list
(22:27):
is submitted, I think each team. I don't know specifically, Matt,
but I'm pretty sure that each teamgets a say and who they want there.
I don't think it's necessarily a vote, but they just kind of put
in who they want there, andthen I think the league collects all that
information and then decides which guys areinvited. And you know, we've had
that throughout the years that I've beendoing this, where you know, we've
(22:49):
been disappointed that a guy hasn't beeninvited, and really, and it's not
an absolute thing, but it's ahard road for you to get drafted if
you're not at the Combine. Soin some ways it makes the decision whether
to stay in the draft or goback to school easier for these guys,
because if you don't get a Combineinvite, that's a good sign that you're
(23:11):
probably not going to get drafted.Do you think, because look, what
have we heard from a lot ofthe you know, and I don't know
if it's just media pushing a storylinefor a certain someone or what. But
people keep saying, oh, Broni'sgoing to be a better pro, the
pro game fits in better. Sois how important is the combine for that
guy? It's this whole process isimportant. And so whatever's been said about
(23:34):
Bronnie and whatever, whoever's writing anarticle or posting something on Twitter, whatever
they're saying about Bronnie, that allgoes out the window basically starting now,
because he'll be evaluated by everybody,just like every other player's evaluated this time
of year, whether when they bringhim in for team workouts or whether they're
at the combine, and so whateverhypespin behind Bronnie, and look, we
(23:56):
all get it, he's Lebron's son. I think that that goes out the
window in this because look, allthese NBA personnel guys, it's their job.
They don't want to lose their jobover misevaluating a guy because of his
name or all the hype that's beenbehind him, you know, in high
school, in his one year atUSC. So I think that that playing
field will even now. And youknow, I think there's seventy something guys
(24:19):
at the Combine. He's now justone of those seventy something players, and
he will be evaluated just like everyoneelse. All right, don where do
you want to start? Clippers collapseor the Lakers looking for a coach?
Come on, choose your own adventure. Don it's may you picked Pete al
right here? All right? Havethe Lakers called you about who they might
(24:40):
want to hire? And feels likeeverybody's getting their say in here? What
do you think? What? Whatkind of situation have they put themselves in?
It's such a hard situation because ofhow many coaches they've been through in
the last few years, and youknow, having to I don't want to
say deal with Lebron, but havingLebron on your team is certainly something different
than most teams have to have todeal with, not only you know,
(25:02):
franchise wide, but in terms ofhiring a head coach and a head coach
that fits with him and someone thathe respects and they can work together and
figure out how to win games.So it's a hard job, but it
can also be a really rewarding jobif they find the right guy in Lebron
and Ad and those guys are willingto work with him. And you know,
because we know how popular the Lakersare here and all over the world,
(25:25):
So if you win, the jobis worth it. If you can
figure out how to do that.You think it was fair that Darvin got
let go? Don you know,Matt, I don't know. You know,
it's hard for me because you know, I'm a little more inside than
most in the sense that I knowhow it works, and I've been in
a million locker rooms, but Iwasn't in that locker room. And so
(25:47):
everybody can judge a head coach basedon what they see during a game,
but that's all they see. Theydon't see what's going on in practice.
They don't see what's happening in thelocker room. They don't see how outside
of where the cameras are, howis Lebron interacting with Darvin Ham? How
is ad interacting with Darvin Ham?And so we don't know any of that.
So I don't know if it's fairor not, because inside that building
(26:10):
they may have seen a lot ofstuff that none of us have seen.
And it wasn't just about losing gamesor not winning enough games, or what
happened x's and o's wy's during games. It's not that simple, And so
I don't know if it was fairor not. To be honest, what
about Vogel, I know you weren'tthat long. It does seem like kind
(26:33):
of I mean, it's a prettytough pattern for a lot of these coaches.
I guess that's what I guess,that's what you sign up for,
but it just I mean, italmost feels like, if you're in the
Lakers situation, you do what Lebronsays and then you get fired for it.
Well, here's here's the problem withthese two situations is their windows are
closing, and so the impatience thatboth those franchises have because they know that
(26:59):
they're superstars, windows are closing.I'm not saying they're closed, but they're
closing. You know, Durance gettingolder, Bradley Beal's had a lot of
injuries. You know, we knowabout Lebron and ad and they're getting older.
So they're so impatient to win now. And when they're not winning now,
they have to do something and it'salmost like a knee jerk reaction.
And again I'm not saying I don'tknow enough to know whether they should have
(27:21):
been fired or not, but Ido know that that's a factor when you
have an older group, and they'renot going to play forever, and what
level are they going to play at? You want to win now, and
you got to find a way towin now. And and a lot of
the times they look at the coachand think that if we bring a new
coach in, maybe that's the fixand we'll win the way we're supposed to
win. It's funny, don becauseyou know, in the same city you
(27:44):
got a team that's doing it theexact opposite way. Right, They've just
stayed the course. You know,it's been a disappointing run. I don't
think there's any other way to characterizeit. With Kawhi and Paul George,
we were thinking championship finals birth it'sbeen nothing of the sort. But it
sounds like they're just going to keepgoing forward with this. You know,
in terms of what you've seen andwhere these players are at in their careers,
(28:07):
you know, how competitive can theybe when what looks to be a
Western conference that just got really youngand really good. Well, you know
what though, Matt and if youremember, and this is the first time
in a while that earlier in theyear where I was I was thinking that
they could win like truly win thechampionship this year when they added Harden and
(28:29):
after a few games and they gotrolling like it looked like a championship level
team, and I didn't. Ididn't back off of that, back off
of that thought until we knew kawhI wasn't playing in the playoffs. And
so if you feel like what yousaw from December to February, like twenty
five and six, I think theywere, you think that that can go
(28:51):
again next year, And if youdon't have any health problems heading into the
playoffs, I think that's better thanthe alternative. Like the alternative is to
not sign PG, to not signHarden and then go into a rebuild.
And I don't think anybody wants that. They are close enough. And again
I saw it with my own twoeyes nightly for a good long stretch that
(29:15):
this is a team that could wina championship. So I think it's fair
to say that they should run itback next year in hope that everyone's healthy
going into the playoffs next year.In terms of just kind of what you
can do around it. Donna onthe margins, do you think there is
sort of because I would assume that'swhat we're talking about right. We've got
to fix some things around the marginsto try to get this thing right.
(29:36):
How much work needs to be doneon that front to run it back.
I don't think a lot. Man, Honestly, I really don't like it
came down to they ran into aDallas team that improved at the deadline.
They're a good team and they werewithout their best player. It's as simple
as that. I'd never once thoughtwatching the Clippers from after they got hard
until the end of the season,man I wish they this, or man
(30:00):
I wish they had that. Ifelt like they had everything to compete for
a championship once hard and got acclimatedand incorporated what they were doing. And
so it's really not about that.It's to me, it's as simple as
their health come playoff time. Ireally believe that. I believe in you
don you do we always have themoney show Don McClain and think about the
(30:23):
cheese it advice, Oh come on, really? Yeah, extra toasty for
life, dude, you know whatthey have now they're not They're not great,
but it's just you know, becauseI delve into the cheese, its
cheese. It extra crunchy, sonot extra toasty, extra crunchy, interesting,
texture, interesting, and you betyou won't sign off on those.
(30:48):
I'm not going to give up theextra the pepper Jack extra toasties for the
crunchier ones. No, no,I'm not heavy. I mean it could
check back with me in a yearfrom now, but right now, no
chance. I'm gonna stick my outhere. Pe You gotta have a shop,
of course you are. I'm readyto. I'm ready to just take
an open hand slap to the facewith this question. What about the puffs?
What about the cheese At puffs?Done? Would you dare? Would
(31:11):
you dare? Travel that road?You? Don't you ever utter those words
again? I knew it. Thepuff suck. It's like you have a
cheese it and you give it oneof those Brazilian asses. Exactly. Come
on, man, I'm texture.The texture of the puffs sucks. You
(31:37):
can tell the cheese At people.I said that. What they're coming on
next? What a deep disappointment,Charlie cheese It's coming on next? Thing
the Nile Nabisco don uh U cl A's roster changed, uh like completely?
Uh? Did somebody back the Brinkstruck up to to uh in the
back door while all the kids wereprotesting in the front door. Are they
(32:00):
backed the bricks? They give theni O money to Mike, Like,
what the heck they must have becauseit's certainly different than it's been. And
look, if you're going to competein this this world of college basketball now,
and it's I can't even believe Isay it, and I can't believe
it's happened, but you better havemoney to pay these players. And so
(32:21):
something must have happened at UCLA.But good for them, and they got
a lot of good players, Likethey have really restocked that thing, and
I expect them to be really goodnext year. How good is this?
Trent Perry from Harvard West? Hegood? Yeah, the problem is and
I haven't spent a whole lot oftime, but I kind of keep an
eye on it. It's like theyhave a lot of guards now, so
(32:42):
it's going to be interesting to seewho emerges there. Dylan Andrews had such
a good year last year. Theybrought in Kobe Johnson, He's proven from
USC So they got a lot ofgood guards and I think what that'll do
is make for healthy competition in thefall. And we'll see, you know,
we'll see what the rotation looks like. But certainly Nick and his staff
have done an unbelievable job in recruitingand recruiting the portal and getting all those
(33:06):
guys in there before we let yougo. Don surprising that the young NBA
is just just taking it, justthrusting their hips at these old guys.
Yeah, literally, yeah, Ikeep you know, and I've been watching
a good bit of it here thelast couple of weeks, and you keep
saying to yourself, I just can'tbelieve, okse in Minnesota are that good.
But apparently they're that good. Andthis Anthony Edwards, my god,
(33:29):
he has emerged and I don't thinkhe's going anywhere. So it's fun as
an NBA fan and somebody who's beena part of that league to see kind
of this younger generation not only begood and be It's one thing to be
good and be like an All Star, but to take over and play the
way these young guys are playing inthe playoffs is something I mean. In
Anthony Edwards, Shay Gilgess, Alexanderand Rudy Gobert, Chat Holmgren showdown in
(33:52):
the conference finals, Mike god entertainingwho would have ever You could have made
a lot of money last October puttingsome money on that conference final, right,
what a pro wants. Thank you, don have a wonderful weekend,
and we know you're working hard,and take care of yourself. And sorry
about the puffs question. You know, I could feel people asking it in
(34:15):
their cars. I felt the responsibilityto ask this question. Just don't ever
ask that again. Thank you.I'm sorry, just like Tom Brady in
that guy's ear again. All right, all right, all right, I'm
sorry. I'm sorry I was offoff limits. Thank you. Don have
(34:35):
a great night. Brother coming upnext the Dead and Alive Guy, Birthday
of the Day. And then strapup kids, get the family around the
hearth because Dodger Talk with Tim Kats, just like the FDR fireside Chats,
is coming on at seven, giganticDodger talk it up right now with Tim
(35:01):
Kates. He's got the quakes guyon, he's got the drillers guy on,
he's going down on the farm.Oh your off night. Dodger Talk
starts at seven with Tim Kates.Give him a call eight six six nine
seven for Tim Kates. And rightnow, as we continue, before we
(35:22):
hand the baton to secretariat, it'stime for the dead guy. Bird Dude,
how about the guy that created DaffyDuck, Porky Pig, and Tweety
Bird Happy would have been one hundredand eleventh to Bob Clampitt born in San
Diego, raised in LA And myapologies for the maybe distracting soundtrack here,
(35:43):
as it is a lot of MaryMelody's music mixed in with some cartoons and
actual you know, sort of dialogueand all that stuff. But hey,
it's fifteen minutes the best of BobClampitt. I think the title of this
YouTube video is the best violence ofBob clamp its cartoon career. And he
found animation. He dropped out ofhigh school, went to Hoover, dropped
(36:06):
out, worked for Disney for aminute making Mickey Mouse dolls to get his
foot in the door. Walt Disneyliked him, but when Clampitt said he'd
like to be an animator, Waltsaid that department's full. So he took
a job at Harmonising Studios and wasput on Mary Melodies when he was twenty
one. Studio was not making awhole lot of money, was not making
(36:27):
a lot of noise, they didn'thave a lot of attention, so they
decided to revamp their characters, andthey opened it up to pretty much anybody
in the building, and Clampitt submitteda drawing of Porky Pig and Beans called
him Porky and Beans. It wasobviously Porky Pig and a black cat named
Beans. His big debut was calledI Haven't Got a Hat. In nineteen
(36:47):
thirty five, when TeX's Avery mergedhis studio, he wanted clamp It as
one of his collaborators. Chuck Joneswould join and essentially they built about a
five man fraternity like atmosphere where theywere pumping out cartoons a lot of Porky
Pig. In thirty seven, Porky'sDuck Hunt introduced Daffy Duck for the first
time. Very Strong Avery came upwith the idea of Daffy Duck. Clampett
(37:13):
would animate it, and in fortytwo A Tale of Two Kittens saw Clampe
introduced tweety Bird for the first time. He would leave the studio in forty
six to work for Columbia Pictures fora while, then he launched a puppet
show. He was always into puppetsIn nineteen forty nine, it was called
Time for Beanie, won three Emmysand reportedly was the favorite show of Albert
Einstein. Figure that one out abit of a rift because of a nineteen
(37:37):
forty six magazine interview in which Clampettreferred to himself as quote the creator of
Bugs Bunny. No, yeah,he said, he used Clark Gable's carrot
eating scene and it happened one nightas his inspiration for his creation. Well
they do, they do credit theGable thing. Yeah, but Jess say
guy. While tech savery pushback alittle bit. He directed a Wild Hair,
(38:01):
which was the official kind of thefirst official short of Bugs, and
then Robert McKimson drew the original BugsBunny model sheets, so they kind of
pushed back and said, eh,kind of collaborative. But Chuck Jones was
so pissed that he started a smearcampaign and he would go around the studio
at night for people that were onlike the studio tour, and he would
(38:23):
hand out flyers that said, basically, you know clampit is a liar and
a thief. So happy Yeah,it was so bad. The other Warner
Brothers peers, including Avery, stoodby clamp and it said. No,
he's kind of right. I thinkI'm looking for my lost cat, but
I'm not. Just have a veryvindictive nature towards clamping. I'm putting up
(38:45):
Read this everywhere. I'm Chuck Jones. Read this, you might think I
want to come and do some yardwork for you. Many animators and cartoon
creators call his The Great Piggybank Robberyfrom nineteen forty six as the greatest cartoon
ever made. Married, three kids, died in eighty four of a heart
attack. Bob Clampitt, Okay,Matt, Well, this one's for Victor
(39:07):
brick alive but old. Uh.Not the first yes, and not the
first time he's been celebrated here becausethis is one of Vick's favorite guys.
He actually sounds a lot like Vickif Vick had gone into poetry and not
sports talk radio. Talking about GarySnyder aka Jaffy writer, American poet and
(39:31):
essayist and activist too one essay fromSan Francisco, Raised in Washington and Portland.
He was a young poet who attendedRead College, and he's done all
kinds of weird stuff. He wasa fire lookout in the mountains for years,
where he developed his writing style.That's scary gig back in the city
(39:52):
of but very tranquil at most times. Yes, back in the city of
San Francisco. He got into zenand started hanging with the beats. Studied
Asian culture at Berkeley, but hefell in with our beat friends while he
was doing that. Matt, who'ssome beatrow call here for you? We
(40:13):
talk about the beat poets. You'retalking about our friend Jackie kay Alan,
the Gutcher Ginsburg, a dear friendof mine, Larry Ferlingetti. And that's
how I came to know Gary Snyderas a young man. The character Jaffy
Ryder and Jack Kerouac's novel and mostof his novels were semi autobiographical, the
(40:36):
Dharma Bums, which is one ofVic's favorite. He traveled the world,
but mostly California and Japan, openedall kinds of weird zen centers and things
like that all over the place.A lot of free secks, and you
can imagine all that free willing sexmat Today it's free. Let's go on
(40:58):
a yoga mat, just with yourin pain. He's done some really gnarly
stuff. He's not soft. Mattworking on the crew of a Pan Pacific
liner shipping liner, worked as achoker, settler in logging, and a
timber scaler, studied anthropology and nativepeople's everywhere. I mean, he might
(41:24):
be a dirty hippie, but he'sa man's hippie. He's a man's hippie.
Lots of hikes, lots of poems, Matt. In fact, in
light of what you just said,Lawrence Ferlungetti, the owner of the City
Lights publishing company and bookstore there inNorth Beach of San Francisco, called him
the Thorroaw of the Beach generation.Now he's still around, and he's turned
(41:47):
intotention his attention in his older age, much like our friend Vic the brit
To Haiku. And yes, likemcs oh, come on, man,
well, he might keep more ofthe structure of it. Yes, certainly
like our friend McLeish yesterday, Matta Pulitzer in poetry, your guy Gary
(42:08):
Snyder. I have a small snippetof a poem from him. I think
this is about taking capitalism down orsomething like that. Shoot an arrow into
the secret heart of the monster,the story said, But the banks,
(42:28):
offices, skyscrapers held no secrets,just more places that refused to die.
No use shooting there see the secretheart, the corps, the center of
(42:51):
the monster's power. Not where youthought, It's elsewhere, hidden in a
harmless looking spot. If you wipesome kids nose, untie a knot,
look for a lost key, maybea little bird or a mouse. My
(43:15):
point and whisper in your ear.Shoot over there there you go. Well,
that'll do it for us, aswe have said. Tim Kates coming

Dodgers padres Tim kaits at seven andno one, no one is not going
to be listening to that off nightDodger talk. Let's l f G.
(02:15):
Yes, Tim, you should belistening if you're a Dodger fan. I
got the voice of the Rancho Cuokamongaquakes. We discussed this. I got
the voice of the Tulsa Drillers,the double A team coming on where Diego
Cartaya and Dalton Rushing are at lovean update on both guys. Is that
the same guy that we put onto help us learn how to pronounce no?
That was you're a racist? Thatwas the triple A voice from Okacy.
(02:37):
I don't know. So we gotTulsa Rancho Cook. That means a
trifect on AM five seven of yourDodger station. We have now caught.
Now all you need is the GreatLakes Loons voice. The voice of the
used to know the voice of theLUNs. But he got a job.
He's now the voice of the Blackhawks. I like to think I earned the
job. He earned the job.Thank you as the voice of the Blackhawk.
(02:58):
Thank you. But when I wasI did an Arizona Arizona State game
with him, and at that pointhe was the voice of the voice of
the Loons. I'm the voice ofthe Loon. And he sent me a
loon's hat, and unfortunately, likeso many people that will send me a
hat, it was too small,looked like a Yamaica on me. And
now my son wears the Loons.Is that right? That's right? So
he must have sent you too,because you gave me one. I have
(03:19):
a loon's hat courtesy of you.So perhaps he sent a pair. I
think Fletcher might have worn it fora little while. It was too big
for him. Might have sent too, he was too small for him.
He might have sent two. Isa wild back. Yeah, I've had
it for a few years now.Gosh, I forget the guy's black hat
with that loon with the with thebatting stance. Different one, okay,
but I think he did send twodifferent one on one Fletcher hats. I
was gonna say the one I hadwas one of the few caps that fits.
(03:42):
I forget the guy's name, forGod's sakes, but he is a
loony loon. He's the voice ofthe Blackhawks. Now. He's a great
guy. The one thing I wasa little nervous because I arrived late.
I had called the Sunflower showdown.His name is Chief, described things in
great detail. It is he really, that's Chief Chief skit in the past
uh he. I was a littleconcerned because he didn't have a lot of
(04:04):
experience in football and we were atthe Arizona Arizona the Arizona walkthrough in Tucson,
and he's like, why are theretwo teams? I was like,
well, what is the offense andone's the defense. Oh. I was
like, are you talking about thegreat Chris Foster. Foster a great guy.
And I also noticed he had anunbelievable was a young guy, very
(04:27):
talented broadcaster. And you don't getthat Blackhawks job just by being a stiff.
I'll tell you that. How dareyou? It covered up Kates.
There was an a a lot ofa lot of wispy nose hair. Oh
but blonde, so barely bary youcouldn't see it. But that aired that
deserts a little too young for wispynose. I know that desert wind was
(04:48):
blowing his nose hair. An oldman's nose hair is more gristle brittle.
This was a wispy young man's nosehair. And I was like, we
were doing the opening. He's like, and let's talk about this team.
And to thought, I was like, Wow, that nose hair is really
waved. It's like a wheat fieldover there. He's cleaned up pretty well.
Fosters. Yeah, when he waswith the Loans, he kind of
had the comb over. Yeah.Now he's in the city, Joe,
(05:12):
he's no longer in the Great Lakes. He's in the city now doing good.
I'm a black haw Is he radioor TV? He's TV? TV?
Yeah, yeah, okay, guy, all right, he's a TV
guy. He was working Big tenNetwork, So that's how I ran into
him. Fosters, bear down,Welcome to the hf cor Welcome to the
NHL. Fosters. Here's also here'sa nose hair trimmling. He's also the
voice of MLB Sunday Game of theWeek on Peacock. Is that right?
(05:36):
I didn't know they had a gamethat all my ex partners get hired by
the baseball time talk about climbing theranks. Peacock Game of the Week.
Kidding me, man, I seehim coming and I see him going.
It's time for the final hour offun fact. It's fun effect. It's
yeah, we're three. All theNBA is going to Peacock. Matt this
(05:56):
I uh, this I do foryou. Marathon talk, Oh wow,
please don't overdo it. The twentysix point two mile length of a marathon
was not established by those disorganized andlazy Greeks. Instead, it was made
official in twentieth century London, asit was the distance between Windsor Castle and
(06:23):
the Olympic stadium, and they decided, well, what's all this marathon and
Athens the war and dropped dead andall that. Matt, let's talk about
some of the stories your old mantold you about, mild Man, this
guy's a Greek and that guy you'regoing. You got a lot of pushback
on your ATM yesterday too. Idid tremendous amo. Yeah, I double
vetted that. Yeah, you shouldhave made gone triple. It's a first
(06:45):
ATM not attached to a bank.There you go, a standalone right,
So marathon, the town in Greecedoesn't exist here. Before this marathon,
distances were arbitrary and varied by severalmiles. That makes so there was six
point two. Was the marathon inspiredby the run by the messenger that killed
him to from Perez to Athens.Yes, that's the marathon, right,
(07:09):
quick hits, everybody, someboms,quick hits. Come make it quick,
y'all. Yeah. Well, theDodgers are on a roll, and Tim
Kat's off night Dodger talk will mirrorthat greatness. They're in San Diego tomorrow
for the start of the weekend seriesversus the Padres. The Angels are at
(07:29):
home tonight versus the k C Royals. Off the field, the Angels acquired
infielder Luis Guillel from the Braves,and they made room for him by says
here, Anthony Rendon was moved tothe sixty day I L with a hamstring
injury. Guy that's played about thirtypercent of the games in every season since
(07:54):
he signed for two hundred and fiftymillion bucks with the Angels has now been
moved to a two months injured listswith a hamstring injury. He is flirting
with most disappointing Angel of all time. You got Hamilton, you got mo
Vaughn. I mean, there's athere's a long line. Listen. That
was a bad concrete job that didin mova On if those steps are poured
(08:18):
correctly in the dugout movaugh as aHall of Fame career with the Halo's did
in line with Rett and Don Andwho was the pitcher that was supposed to
keep what's his name in line?Hamilton in line? CJ. Wilson.
Yeah, he was fit. Yeah, a long line of disappointing people.
I'll tell you who. None ofthese guys are fred Linn. None of
them are fred Linn, Hero ofthe people. Exactly right. Lakers are
(08:41):
still without a head coach. Wowday six. They do have some ideas
though, Yes, Byron Scott,former Lakers head coach, former Laker head
coach, former Laker great maybe alittle upset that Morningside High School as alma
maters going away could be that inInglewood could have been his summarily dismissal from
the Lakers as their head coach.One of the worst head coaches in the
history of the Lakers organization. Icalled for Kobe player coach. You did,
(09:05):
I called Lebron player coach, andnow years ago, finally somebody is
heeding my warning. But it seemslike a snarky warning. It's very undisputed
by a swoll looking Byron Scott,It's obvious to me at least that he's
making a lot of decisions just goingon in this organization, no doubt,
from a coaching standpoint to a playerstandpoint. So if you're going to allow
(09:26):
him to make those decisions, siton the bench and make those decisions as
well, beat a head coach,JJ red coach, player head coach.
So some of the names that I'veheard, you know, you obviously have
to get somebody that Lebron is comfortablewith from a head coaching standpoint. You
(09:48):
know, the last name I heardwas JJ Reddick. When I started laughing,
Well, now they got a podcasttogether, so y'all, comey,
y'all buddy, buddy, So nowhis name is on the list. So,
as far as I'm concerned, podcastis an ex o's podcast. So
they're talking real hardcore basketball. Goahead, yeah, okay, okay,
But as far as I'm concerned,the only person that he's gonna really trust
(10:09):
is itself. And since you're makinga lot of these decisions anyway, why
not put him in that seat.It's true, Hey, you want to
get all these coaches fired, howabout you high yourself. See if you
fire yourself, because you won't,you don't want to take the heat.
You've got to have that middleman totake the fall. Likely Lebron wins a
championship, it's because Lebron's amazing.Lebron loses a championship, coach gets fire,
(10:31):
gets fired. So how about yousit in that seat. Do you
see that clip that's making the roundsnow on Twitter? In the Denver game,
late stages, they call it timeout and Darvin Ham is like,
where's the whiteboard? Where's it at? And you hear Lebron go give me
the board. I'll draw it up. Give me the board, Give me
the board. Okay, yeah,like there it is. The head coach,
(10:52):
take the board. We never reallyso whether Darvin Ham could coach or
not we never found out. Andwhether or not Rob Polaker could be a
good GM or not, we neverfound out. And at this point,
when Genie Buss as the owner,we're not finding out runs at all.
The Pacers Matt are very upset aboutthis Knick series. A lot of f
bombs flying out there on the Eastcoast. Rick Carlisle was booted yesterday in
(11:16):
the final minute, double technical andseventy eight instan You can submit your qualms
to the League office of what youbelieve were incorrect calls by the referees.
They said that there were twenty nine, I believe in game one, but
they were comfortable sitting on those.We wanted to take the high road until
the last Game two. Here Ilet it slide. The first time they
(11:39):
added another forty nine. They're likethe hell with this, So they submitted
seventy eight instances of what they believeare incorrect non calls to the NBA put
them at a disadvantage Game one,Game two against New York. As part
of protocol, the Knicks will seethose clips as well. Quote. I'm
always talking to our guys about notmaking it about the officials, but we
deserve a fair shot, yes,said Carlisle, Isle implying. He then
(12:01):
went on to say that we're ina small market. Okay, I get
it. I get Oh he reallywent hard. Well, I get that
they want the Knicks. Yeah,I felt that energy in Madison Square guard.
It's hard to overcome that. Butcome on, he knows. Carlisle
no been around the league. Kid. My guys a fair shape. They
deserve it. They've earned it.And Matt, you talked about this yesterday.
It's bittersweet, more sweet than bitter. It's a heart of a CHUMPI
(12:22):

all over the country and his introsong Hyder Strike. They didn't send actual
university medical personnel. I'm literally shakingthe great Don McLain working out his CAA
draft class. These days a verytrying time of year, and of course
(20:40):
the NBA playoffs are raging without theLA teams. UCLA's picking up a lot
of transfers. Here to discuss itall is the leading score in the history
of the PAC twelve The Baron ofBox Canyon, the statue in Lemon Park
and see Me Valley. The nextassid Kisses will be the first on your
Southern California to Toyota do their celebrityline it in the Snake Killer himself Don
(21:03):
McClain, Hello, Don, howare you? How's it going? Guys?
Not that you care, but Iam making my triumphant return this year
to the NBA Combine in Chicago.I take a few years off. I
am actually I am going again thisyear just because so when you're walking the
floor of the NBA Combine and cheatto go, is it a lot like
(21:25):
Jerry Maguire walking the floor of theNFL draft back all the day. I
mean, like just a lot ofhigh fives and glad handon. No,
not at all. I'm actually goingbecause with all that they have to do
with medicals and interviews, and someof our guys play five on five,
some don't, some just test,some just drill. So we try and
get some work in at night whenthey're all done with all their stuff to
(21:45):
kind of keep what we've built herethe last five six weeks so that when
they get back it's getting close forthem getting ready to go out on the
road and start working out for teams, so we don't lose all that during
the week there in Chicago. Speakingof Chicago, Don had this story a
little bit earlier in the week.Are you surprised that it was a big
(22:07):
ten related news item that Bobui,who's had a hell of a career at
Northwestern damask from Illinois, great shooter, and you know how important he was
to that team. Neither of themgot a combine invite, but Bronnie James
did. I would assume is itteam driven who they want invited to the
Combine? Like, how do theycome up with that list? The list
(22:27):
is submitted, I think each team. I don't know specifically, Matt,
but I'm pretty sure that each teamgets a say and who they want there.
I don't think it's necessarily a vote, but they just kind of put
in who they want there, andthen I think the league collects all that
information and then decides which guys areinvited. And you know, we've had
that throughout the years that I've beendoing this, where you know, we've
(22:49):
been disappointed that a guy hasn't beeninvited, and really, and it's not
an absolute thing, but it's ahard road for you to get drafted if
you're not at the Combine. Soin some ways it makes the decision whether
to stay in the draft or goback to school easier for these guys,
because if you don't get a Combineinvite, that's a good sign that you're
(23:11):
probably not going to get drafted.Do you think, because look, what
have we heard from a lot ofthe you know, and I don't know
if it's just media pushing a storylinefor a certain someone or what. But
people keep saying, oh, Broni'sgoing to be a better pro, the
pro game fits in better. Sois how important is the combine for that
guy? It's this whole process isimportant. And so whatever's been said about
(23:34):
Bronnie and whatever, whoever's writing anarticle or posting something on Twitter, whatever
they're saying about Bronnie, that allgoes out the window basically starting now,
because he'll be evaluated by everybody,just like every other player's evaluated this time
of year, whether when they bringhim in for team workouts or whether they're
at the combine, and so whateverhypespin behind Bronnie, and look, we
(23:56):
all get it, he's Lebron's son. I think that that goes out the
window in this because look, allthese NBA personnel guys, it's their job.
They don't want to lose their jobover misevaluating a guy because of his
name or all the hype that's beenbehind him, you know, in high
school, in his one year atUSC. So I think that that playing
field will even now. And youknow, I think there's seventy something guys
(24:19):
at the Combine. He's now justone of those seventy something players, and
he will be evaluated just like everyoneelse. All right, don where do
you want to start? Clippers collapseor the Lakers looking for a coach?
Come on, choose your own adventure. Don it's may you picked Pete al
right here? All right? Havethe Lakers called you about who they might
(24:40):
want to hire? And feels likeeverybody's getting their say in here? What
do you think? What? Whatkind of situation have they put themselves in?
It's such a hard situation because ofhow many coaches they've been through in
the last few years, and youknow, having to I don't want to
say deal with Lebron, but havingLebron on your team is certainly something different
than most teams have to have todeal with, not only you know,
(25:02):
franchise wide, but in terms ofhiring a head coach and a head coach
that fits with him and someone thathe respects and they can work together and
figure out how to win games.So it's a hard job, but it
can also be a really rewarding jobif they find the right guy in Lebron
and Ad and those guys are willingto work with him. And you know,
because we know how popular the Lakersare here and all over the world,
(25:25):
So if you win, the jobis worth it. If you can
figure out how to do that.You think it was fair that Darvin got
let go? Don you know,Matt, I don't know. You know,
it's hard for me because you know, I'm a little more inside than
most in the sense that I knowhow it works, and I've been in
a million locker rooms, but Iwasn't in that locker room. And so
(25:47):
everybody can judge a head coach basedon what they see during a game,
but that's all they see. Theydon't see what's going on in practice.
They don't see what's happening in thelocker room. They don't see how outside
of where the cameras are, howis Lebron interacting with Darvin Ham? How
is ad interacting with Darvin Ham?And so we don't know any of that.
So I don't know if it's fairor not, because inside that building
(26:10):
they may have seen a lot ofstuff that none of us have seen.
And it wasn't just about losing gamesor not winning enough games, or what
happened x's and o's wy's during games. It's not that simple, And so
I don't know if it was fairor not. To be honest, what
about Vogel, I know you weren'tthat long. It does seem like kind
(26:33):
of I mean, it's a prettytough pattern for a lot of these coaches.
I guess that's what I guess,that's what you sign up for,
but it just I mean, italmost feels like, if you're in the
Lakers situation, you do what Lebronsays and then you get fired for it.
Well, here's here's the problem withthese two situations is their windows are
closing, and so the impatience thatboth those franchises have because they know that
(26:59):
they're superstars, windows are closing.I'm not saying they're closed, but they're
closing. You know, Durance gettingolder, Bradley Beal's had a lot of
injuries. You know, we knowabout Lebron and ad and they're getting older.
So they're so impatient to win now. And when they're not winning now,
they have to do something and it'salmost like a knee jerk reaction.
And again I'm not saying I don'tknow enough to know whether they should have
(27:21):
been fired or not, but Ido know that that's a factor when you
have an older group, and they'renot going to play forever, and what
level are they going to play at? You want to win now, and
you got to find a way towin now. And and a lot of
the times they look at the coachand think that if we bring a new
coach in, maybe that's the fixand we'll win the way we're supposed to
win. It's funny, don becauseyou know, in the same city you
(27:44):
got a team that's doing it theexact opposite way. Right, They've just
stayed the course. You know,it's been a disappointing run. I don't
think there's any other way to characterizeit. With Kawhi and Paul George,
we were thinking championship finals birth it'sbeen nothing of the sort. But it
sounds like they're just going to keepgoing forward with this. You know,
in terms of what you've seen andwhere these players are at in their careers,
(28:07):
you know, how competitive can theybe when what looks to be a
Western conference that just got really youngand really good. Well, you know
what though, Matt and if youremember, and this is the first time
in a while that earlier in theyear where I was I was thinking that
they could win like truly win thechampionship this year when they added Harden and
(28:29):
after a few games and they gotrolling like it looked like a championship level
team, and I didn't. Ididn't back off of that, back off
of that thought until we knew kawhI wasn't playing in the playoffs. And
so if you feel like what yousaw from December to February, like twenty
five and six, I think theywere, you think that that can go
(28:51):
again next year, And if youdon't have any health problems heading into the
playoffs, I think that's better thanthe alternative. Like the alternative is to
not sign PG, to not signHarden and then go into a rebuild.
And I don't think anybody wants that. They are close enough. And again
I saw it with my own twoeyes nightly for a good long stretch that
(29:15):
this is a team that could wina championship. So I think it's fair
to say that they should run itback next year in hope that everyone's healthy
going into the playoffs next year.In terms of just kind of what you
can do around it. Donna onthe margins, do you think there is
sort of because I would assume that'swhat we're talking about right. We've got
to fix some things around the marginsto try to get this thing right.
(29:36):
How much work needs to be doneon that front to run it back.
I don't think a lot. Man, Honestly, I really don't like it
came down to they ran into aDallas team that improved at the deadline.
They're a good team and they werewithout their best player. It's as simple
as that. I'd never once thoughtwatching the Clippers from after they got hard
until the end of the season,man I wish they this, or man
(30:00):
I wish they had that. Ifelt like they had everything to compete for
a championship once hard and got acclimatedand incorporated what they were doing. And
so it's really not about that.It's to me, it's as simple as
their health come playoff time. Ireally believe that. I believe in you
don you do we always have themoney show Don McClain and think about the
(30:23):
cheese it advice, Oh come on, really? Yeah, extra toasty for
life, dude, you know whatthey have now they're not They're not great,
but it's just you know, becauseI delve into the cheese, its
cheese. It extra crunchy, sonot extra toasty, extra crunchy, interesting,
texture, interesting, and you betyou won't sign off on those.
(30:48):
I'm not going to give up theextra the pepper Jack extra toasties for the
crunchier ones. No, no,I'm not heavy. I mean it could
check back with me in a yearfrom now, but right now, no
chance. I'm gonna stick my outhere. Pe You gotta have a shop,
of course you are. I'm readyto. I'm ready to just take
an open hand slap to the facewith this question. What about the puffs?
What about the cheese At puffs?Done? Would you dare? Would
(31:11):
you dare? Travel that road?You? Don't you ever utter those words
again? I knew it. Thepuff suck. It's like you have a
cheese it and you give it oneof those Brazilian asses. Exactly. Come
on, man, I'm texture.The texture of the puffs sucks. You
(31:37):
can tell the cheese At people.I said that. What they're coming on
next? What a deep disappointment,Charlie cheese It's coming on next? Thing
the Nile Nabisco don uh U cl A's roster changed, uh like completely?
Uh? Did somebody back the Brinkstruck up to to uh in the
back door while all the kids wereprotesting in the front door. Are they
(32:00):
backed the bricks? They give theni O money to Mike, Like,
what the heck they must have becauseit's certainly different than it's been. And
look, if you're going to competein this this world of college basketball now,
and it's I can't even believe Isay it, and I can't believe
it's happened, but you better havemoney to pay these players. And so
(32:21):
something must have happened at UCLA.But good for them, and they got
a lot of good players, Likethey have really restocked that thing, and
I expect them to be really goodnext year. How good is this?
Trent Perry from Harvard West? Hegood? Yeah, the problem is and
I haven't spent a whole lot oftime, but I kind of keep an
eye on it. It's like theyhave a lot of guards now, so
(32:42):
it's going to be interesting to seewho emerges there. Dylan Andrews had such
a good year last year. Theybrought in Kobe Johnson, He's proven from
USC So they got a lot ofgood guards and I think what that'll do
is make for healthy competition in thefall. And we'll see, you know,
we'll see what the rotation looks like. But certainly Nick and his staff
have done an unbelievable job in recruitingand recruiting the portal and getting all those
(33:06):
guys in there before we let yougo. Don surprising that the young NBA
is just just taking it, justthrusting their hips at these old guys.
Yeah, literally, yeah, Ikeep you know, and I've been watching
a good bit of it here thelast couple of weeks, and you keep
saying to yourself, I just can'tbelieve, okse in Minnesota are that good.
But apparently they're that good. Andthis Anthony Edwards, my god,
(33:29):
he has emerged and I don't thinkhe's going anywhere. So it's fun as
an NBA fan and somebody who's beena part of that league to see kind
of this younger generation not only begood and be It's one thing to be
good and be like an All Star, but to take over and play the
way these young guys are playing inthe playoffs is something I mean. In
Anthony Edwards, Shay Gilgess, Alexanderand Rudy Gobert, Chat Holmgren showdown in
(33:52):
the conference finals, Mike god entertainingwho would have ever You could have made
a lot of money last October puttingsome money on that conference final, right,
what a pro wants. Thank you, don have a wonderful weekend,
and we know you're working hard,and take care of yourself. And sorry
about the puffs question. You know, I could feel people asking it in
(34:15):
their cars. I felt the responsibilityto ask this question. Just don't ever
ask that again. Thank you.I'm sorry, just like Tom Brady in
that guy's ear again. All right, all right, all right, I'm
sorry. I'm sorry I was offoff limits. Thank you. Don have
(34:35):
a great night. Brother coming upnext the Dead and Alive Guy, Birthday
of the Day. And then strapup kids, get the family around the
hearth because Dodger Talk with Tim Kats, just like the FDR fireside Chats,
is coming on at seven, giganticDodger talk it up right now with Tim
(35:01):
Kates. He's got the quakes guyon, he's got the drillers guy on,
he's going down on the farm.Oh your off night. Dodger Talk
starts at seven with Tim Kates.Give him a call eight six six nine
seven for Tim Kates. And rightnow, as we continue, before we
(35:22):
hand the baton to secretariat, it'stime for the dead guy. Bird Dude,
how about the guy that created DaffyDuck, Porky Pig, and Tweety
Bird Happy would have been one hundredand eleventh to Bob Clampitt born in San
Diego, raised in LA And myapologies for the maybe distracting soundtrack here,
(35:43):
as it is a lot of MaryMelody's music mixed in with some cartoons and
actual you know, sort of dialogueand all that stuff. But hey,
it's fifteen minutes the best of BobClampitt. I think the title of this
YouTube video is the best violence ofBob clamp its cartoon career. And he
found animation. He dropped out ofhigh school, went to Hoover, dropped
(36:06):
out, worked for Disney for aminute making Mickey Mouse dolls to get his
foot in the door. Walt Disneyliked him, but when Clampitt said he'd
like to be an animator, Waltsaid that department's full. So he took
a job at Harmonising Studios and wasput on Mary Melodies when he was twenty
one. Studio was not making awhole lot of money, was not making
(36:27):
a lot of noise, they didn'thave a lot of attention, so they
decided to revamp their characters, andthey opened it up to pretty much anybody
in the building, and Clampitt submitteda drawing of Porky Pig and Beans called
him Porky and Beans. It wasobviously Porky Pig and a black cat named
Beans. His big debut was calledI Haven't Got a Hat. In nineteen
(36:47):
thirty five, when TeX's Avery mergedhis studio, he wanted clamp It as
one of his collaborators. Chuck Joneswould join and essentially they built about a
five man fraternity like atmosphere where theywere pumping out cartoons a lot of Porky
Pig. In thirty seven, Porky'sDuck Hunt introduced Daffy Duck for the first
time. Very Strong Avery came upwith the idea of Daffy Duck. Clampett
(37:13):
would animate it, and in fortytwo A Tale of Two Kittens saw Clampe
introduced tweety Bird for the first time. He would leave the studio in forty
six to work for Columbia Pictures fora while, then he launched a puppet
show. He was always into puppetsIn nineteen forty nine, it was called
Time for Beanie, won three Emmysand reportedly was the favorite show of Albert
Einstein. Figure that one out abit of a rift because of a nineteen
(37:37):
forty six magazine interview in which Clampettreferred to himself as quote the creator of
Bugs Bunny. No, yeah,he said, he used Clark Gable's carrot
eating scene and it happened one nightas his inspiration for his creation. Well
they do, they do credit theGable thing. Yeah, but Jess say
guy. While tech savery pushback alittle bit. He directed a Wild Hair,
(38:01):
which was the official kind of thefirst official short of Bugs, and
then Robert McKimson drew the original BugsBunny model sheets, so they kind of
pushed back and said, eh,kind of collaborative. But Chuck Jones was
so pissed that he started a smearcampaign and he would go around the studio
at night for people that were onlike the studio tour, and he would
(38:23):
hand out flyers that said, basically, you know clampit is a liar and
a thief. So happy Yeah,it was so bad. The other Warner
Brothers peers, including Avery, stoodby clamp and it said. No,
he's kind of right. I thinkI'm looking for my lost cat, but
I'm not. Just have a veryvindictive nature towards clamping. I'm putting up
(38:45):
Read this everywhere. I'm Chuck Jones. Read this, you might think I
want to come and do some yardwork for you. Many animators and cartoon
creators call his The Great Piggybank Robberyfrom nineteen forty six as the greatest cartoon
ever made. Married, three kids, died in eighty four of a heart
attack. Bob Clampitt, Okay,Matt, Well, this one's for Victor
(39:07):
brick alive but old. Uh.Not the first yes, and not the
first time he's been celebrated here becausethis is one of Vick's favorite guys.
He actually sounds a lot like Vickif Vick had gone into poetry and not
sports talk radio. Talking about GarySnyder aka Jaffy writer, American poet and
(39:31):
essayist and activist too one essay fromSan Francisco, Raised in Washington and Portland.
He was a young poet who attendedRead College, and he's done all
kinds of weird stuff. He wasa fire lookout in the mountains for years,
where he developed his writing style.That's scary gig back in the city
(39:52):
of but very tranquil at most times. Yes, back in the city of
San Francisco. He got into zenand started hanging with the beats. Studied
Asian culture at Berkeley, but hefell in with our beat friends while he
was doing that. Matt, who'ssome beatrow call here for you? We
(40:13):
talk about the beat poets. You'retalking about our friend Jackie kay Alan,
the Gutcher Ginsburg, a dear friendof mine, Larry Ferlingetti. And that's
how I came to know Gary Snyderas a young man. The character Jaffy
Ryder and Jack Kerouac's novel and mostof his novels were semi autobiographical, the
(40:36):
Dharma Bums, which is one ofVic's favorite. He traveled the world,
but mostly California and Japan, openedall kinds of weird zen centers and things
like that all over the place.A lot of free secks, and you
can imagine all that free willing sexmat Today it's free. Let's go on
