All right, we do have acouple of things to uh to get to
(02:13):
the bottom of Matt first, andwe'll just call it local knowledge. Let's
just call it local, I said. We'll call it local knowledge unless you

local stories. But thank you.Sorry, oh the Duke went in there.
Huh, you're really missing out TodayMatt the Duke of Sports from KFI
(02:38):
is celebrating a birthday today, andthere's a cake, there is a multiple
signs. It's like American. It'slike American idol out there. There's a
car that everybody but Matt signed,like everybody's thrilled for the duke. So
the Duke, you signed the car? I did not. I did not.
I did not. I was not. No one asked me to sign
(02:59):
it. I would have signed it, yea. I would have signed it
too. I would have done toit, but nobody asked me. Yeah,
he said he would have pooped onit. That's wrong, right,
that's gross. I know it is. But the Duke is walking around here

to the Duke, all right,Matt, Uh, I want to apologize
to Uh tell the laker him.No, No, I want to apologize
(04:05):
to the gateway cities. I'd readthem all off, but we'd run out
of time. There's a lot ofgateways and we are we are your gateway
city show of record. And Imade a mistake yesterday trying to talk about
the Citadel monstrosity in Beautiful Commerce.I was a fool to ask questions that
I already knew about the Citadel shoppingCenter. I was, I was stupid.
(04:29):
I was a fool, dumb ass. I was a dumbass. And
it took us way long, waytoo long to put it together and to
get all the information correct, chronologicallycorrect, and do it right. Ronnie
helped out a little bit, andyou helped out, Matt. But I'm
embarrassed. I haven't been on thatstretch of the five and years. And
(04:54):
I was coming from some work inthe OC, and I was I was
taking a back by the giant gargoylesor what they are is like phoenixes or
something, and I'm embarrassed and I'msorry, so I want to say it
right once and move on. Okaythere, Well, yes, it's an
(05:18):
Assyrian castle style built by the eccentrictire manufacturer Schleicher in nineteen twenty nine Samson
Tires. But the market crashed,he had to sell and it became Uniroyal
Tires. But they kept a sweetAssyrian facade and that was popular in those
(05:38):
days. The same architect that didthe beautiful Citadel did the Mayan Theater and
the Al Capitan Theater, and there'sa lot of other examples of that style,
especially in the city of Los Angelesand the proliferation of Hollywood in the
twentieth century. And they made tiresthere till the sixties, and then it
(06:03):
was declared a historic landmark in nineteeneighty two, and that's when all the
hotels and the shops and the outletswere created. The owner of the outlets
today at the Citadel, Matt,is the company Craig Craig Reality. And
(06:24):
you'd be interested to know, Matt, that Craig Realty Company also runs the
Carls Bad Company stores ran by theCardiff Kook there. The Lake Elsinore outlets
have been there, frequented by oneDaniel Jeremiah, and our favorite outlets ever,
the Capazon outlets right out the dead. They got a big dogs.
(06:50):
They do have a big dogs anda chaps right by the Marongo Casino Resort
and spa. So I was totallywrong to even bring it up. I
knew better. I knew the history. We are a show that is very
interested in LA history and the historyof buildings and the history of the people
(07:12):
in the city of Los Angeles,and I approached that yesterday in a lazy
way. And I want to say, I'm sorry. I just want to
find out what the creature is called. Those griffin things. Yes, some
people call them a bull, somehave called them Griffin's. There's all kinds
of different you know, it varies, but they were there to start so
(07:36):
I was stupid there too as well. Those things were part of the whole
thing. So again I'm sorry.Correction and retraction. I want to apologize
to all our listeners from an ancientAssyrian societies, Babylonians, King Samson,
(08:00):
anybody, see sorry. I screwedthat up, and I much Look,
Matt, what I should have doneis do what I normally do. I
drove right by Curritos. I shouldhave got off the freeway and said hi
to Pat Nixon. That's what I'mcomfortable doing. I should have stayed in
my lane. You've done it multipletimes. Twice multi multi, that would
(08:24):
be three. I'm gonna ask aquestion here, sure, Matt put it
to the UH to the audience tomaybe weigh in on the text, though,
so real quick, we know thatmalls are closing at an alarming rate.
As your mall show up ray sadto us. Although the Dilamo mall
is quite popular when a bunch ofkids like trying to bum rush the set.
Yeah, the Westminster mall is isa ghost. They're all dying.
(08:46):
Yes. Are outlet malls still fine? Like? Are people like? Are
as long as they have? Iknow the ones in the one in Cabazon,
you know you get the Asians,UH tour group is right. Yeah,
I think they're doing good, Sothey're fine. Out Let's fine.
I don't know, I don't knowplayers and you know Tomorrow like those are
Dune Clarence Smorrow for sure, Idrove by the Camarillo Outlets recently. They're
(09:09):
doing good. Yeah, did yougo in? No? No, but
I just saw the get a lotof traffic. Okay, Yeah. It
feels like people like and the bulkshopping places like Sam's and all that like
they're doing. You know, Ithink it's I think it's just the old
mall going into the mall. Right, people just don't do that anymore.
(09:31):
They don't like the smell, theydon't like crush them all. Yeah,
and they don't like the chlorine likesmell of the fountain. I guess which
is wrong. I mean, themall is a special place of American love.
I mean, think of all thosegreat scenes and weird science at the
mall and stuff. Oh yeah,the escalator exchange. My god. Right.
You know anyway, Matt, you'llfind this interesting. I think there's
(09:54):
still a controversy over at your wife'shonor. A bunch of your it's your
wife, A lot of people youknow into modern day me too, Actually
not my wife or kids, butyou know a lot of people from modern
day growing up played football with alot too. There's still a controversy with
the modern day head football coach asyou know, our old buddy Bruce Rolinson
(10:16):
had unprecedented success at Modern Day,and then he had even more unprecedented success
really late in his career at ModernDay, a rough hazing controversy to end
his career, and after Rollinson steppeddown, they hired this guy, Frank
McManus. That's right from within.And he won the state right he beat
(10:37):
Bosco, and the championship he lostduring the regular season. It's always one
of the other, and those arethe two best teams in all of high
school football. And then, ina shocking move, I guess if you're
on the outside of it, FrankMcManus was removed from the job. And
from what I could gather behind thescenes, McManus upset people, rub some
(11:00):
people the wrong way, upset theBrass, trouble drumming up support for this
guy. After if you just wina state title, which is basically the
national title, and you're at ModernDay and you beat Bosco in the last
game, and you have trouble drummingup support, that's a problem because modern
(11:20):
Day football has nothing but support.But this guy McManus was not popular and
the Monarch, Brass and the Archdiocese, they turned got rid of him and
hired high school CIF football hero paroleofficer by night in his time and high
school football legend at Long Beach Pollyby Day. Raoul's so cool, Laura,
(11:43):
there we go. Who's a greatguy and a humble guy. And
I mean that's real high school football, the kind that I grew up with,
where the guy handles elite athletes likeMercedes Lewis and Winston Justice and Herschel
Dennis during the day and at nighthe's a parole officer, doesn't sleep.
(12:03):
That guy was a g and nowhe's the head coach at Modern Day.
But Matt. A petition was sentout to reinstate Frank McManus as the football
coach at Modern Day at change dotorg and yeah, there's a picture of
him and it looks like he's goingin the picture. And they started it
on April twenty eighth, and youcould get a signature. They won one
(12:26):
hundred. The goal is one hundred, one hundred. That's it. Well
it's been ten days and they've gotseventy five signatures. That's it, and
let it go. Ten days,seventy five signatures, I mean, one
hundred people is like two rows.This guy's Santa Animal might be the most
successful one year high school football coachin history. He won the national title
(12:52):
and they got rid of him.So you got to be our you know,
somebody's got to have a real problemwith you right under a run like
that, like, hey, you'vehad one year to prove yourself. You
want it all? Yeah, AndI'm not in that, you know,
obviously, I don't. You know, it's a high school football team and
I'm not in there building. Butfrom what I gather, and I know
a lot of modern day types,uh, I know some people that wanted
that job. From what I gather, he just he was not drumming up
(13:15):
support people. People did not likehim, and they do like Raoul.
But you got the seventy five signatures, it's twenty five more, so we
got to get to one hundred.Well, the four of us signed it,
it's up to seventy nine. Thereyou go. Well, I don't
want Raoul to see that. TheDuke sign We're up to eighty. Raoul's
not like that. Raoul were goodwith looks like it's a Lamasu pee celestial
(13:39):
being from ancient Mesopotamia. Human head, intelligence, bull's body strength, that
scenes of an eagle, freedom bodya bull. Yeah, that's not a
griffin. Gryffin is a body ofa lion right ahead of an eagle,
and that's ahead of a dude.This is ahead of a dude. Intelligences
body strength, la m a ss U Lamas. I think it's a
(14:01):
word. I'm assuming it's a playon a lama. I don't know Lamasu
Lamasu. You think it's a lama, Matt, you know. See,
we've opened ourselves up to be correct. I just figured you were going to
get on the text. There's alot of different reports on what it is.
I don't know what it is.This article says the uh dealing me
at the citadel. I was tryingto wrap it up and you open up
(14:24):
the wound again. Takes a lot. You're welcome now to have to get
some salve. Now. Let themknow. Coming up next, the top
story of the day somebody who nevergets anything wrong. Pardon me, mister
perfect. Thanks for listening, everybody. Dodgers are back on, hopefully for
(14:54):
you Dodger fans out there continuing theirdominant ways at San Diego. Tonight,
Tim Kates will come on at fivethirty with Morongo. Yeah, those guys,
at least one of those guys willbe in a tenant tonight. You
know. Oh, I think they'replaying the Stone Brewery right after little pre
game. I think he's laying doI think? What is he bars?
(15:16):
Spitting bars and bars. That's whatthe kids do, That's what he's doing.
That's what the game does. Justask the duke, Just ask the
dude sign his birthday card, wouldyou. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
app. There's a big sign heretoday and it is now time for the
top story of the day. I'msorry of it. Well, top story
(15:37):
we focus on the Dodgers pee howabout this particular NL West division. We've
discussed it with David Vasse, withall the national heads out there. The
Dodgers are running away with it.Six and a half on the Padres is
what they are up going into theirseries tonight. The Padres and second placed
in the NL West. They areseven and a half games ahead of the
Diamondbacks. They are nine on topof the Giants, team they start a
(16:00):
series with on Monday, that issix and a half clear for first place.
On May tenth. It is beyondlopsided. The Orioles have the exact
same win percentage as the Dodgers sixsixty seven, and they are just a
half game up on the surging Yankees. The Guardians, Twins, and Royals
in the Al Central are separated byjust one and a half games. The
(16:22):
Rangers lead the Mariners with the samemargin. And over here in the National
League, Phillies have a better recordthan the Dodgers, having won the same
amount of games, but have oneallow a one less loss. Hard to
spit that out one less loss.Their lead on the Braves just two games,
and the Brewers have the slimmest ofmargins of all the divisions over the
(16:44):
Cubbies one half game. So thequestion is, and something that we'll see
on display tonight, is the NLSthat bad or are the Dodgers just that
dominant? Typically pose a question likethat to a guest, and they usually
have the same answer, Well,you know, it's a bit of both.
Well, you know, it's kindof somewhere in the middle. Well,
you know, it could be eachand that is the case here.
(17:07):
It is a bit of both,but really more the former than the latter.
The Dodgers have been dominant. Theyhave scored twenty three more runs than
the Phillies while allowing just a singlerun more. And the Phillies have the
best record in baseball. As amatter of fact, the Dodgers two hundred
and fourteen runs scored. Their offensehas been so prolific that it is the
(17:30):
best in baseball by fifteen runs overthe second best Rangers. And again,
we are only at May tenth.We have barely I mean, we haven't
played fifty games yet. I haven'tplayed forty games yet. It's pretty early,
way early. I mean, it'snot even like the COVID season.
It's not even June the third,David. No, May the tenth,
David, it's May the tenth.They're plus seventy four run differential on May
(17:56):
the tenth, David, twenty onebetter than the next best Baltimore Orioles.
And of course, all of thisincludes that weird lull that they had against
some pretty bad teams from April fourteenthto the twentieth. Terrible time, Matt,
I remember it well. I wishwe would have panicked a little bit
more, because then we could havepointed to ourselves and taken credit. Yeah.
(18:18):
Perhaps, yes, as perhaps thepanic brothers. That sounded the alarm
and led to the Dodgers focus ina little bit better and realizing, hey,
don't pee this away. Kevin Kennedy'swin equity ATM demands you make deposits
in April and May. They lostseven to nine between the tenth and the
twentieth. It was a very weirdstretch of games. What to do?
(18:38):
Not great teams? What do youlike to do? I like to roller
blade up to the Kevin Kennedy ATMyes of wins, And that's how I
like to collect them. When Irollerblade up to the to the ATM of
win, that is the best wayto collect your wins. Because look a
lot of people wanted to come inand get wins in the branch. And
when they're on these rollerblades and you'resix inches taller than everybody else and you're
(19:00):
in these clickety clack noises over theSpanish tile down there in San Diego,
it gets very uncomfortable. So we'regonna put a standalone ATM out here for
you guys to just roll the bladeup too, and you know, take
a win out here there. They'regoing to sweep the Padres this week.
I don't know. But if youwant to take a win out of that
ATM feel free because you got asix and a half game lead. But
hey, by chance, should theykeep it up these two series? Should
(19:22):
they sweep the Padres and you're undup up nearly double digits on them nine
and a half. Sweep the Giantsand they're gone, they're dust. No
hope, Fred Rogan style out ofit, freaking out, bad contract for
Blake Snell, bad free agent signings, lost out a Yamamoto, No hope.
Do another story on the kayaker thathad a ball land right in her
(19:45):
pelvic area while hanging out in herbasket, right there, just right there
in that area. Land it righthere. That's how I caught it.
Didn't even go on the water,bang right on my food. You know,
I mean, I don't I don'twant to. I don't want to
(20:06):
do it. I'm not even gonnasay it. You don't want to celebrate,
or do you want to panic?I don't want to celebrate. I
certainly don't want it. Because wewere we were laughing and waving our flag
around last time last year. Wewere four hundred yards ahead. Can't even
see the guy, he's so farback. I mean twenty five games up
on the Diamondbacks. Yeah, JasonYang is so far behind the Dodgers he
(20:26):
wouldn't even be able to report himif they were cheating because he can't see
him. But then the d Backscome and rip their puzzas off. True,
I mean ripped them right off.True story. God, I swept
them, you know. I getit, though, Matt, they are
good. And when I am onother shows, not this one where I
have to temper the enthusiasm, youcelebrate the hell out of them. No,
(20:47):
but I say it is pretty Ialways qualify it with, well,
we've seen some pretty terrible things happenin the postseason is especially the first round
recently, But the three guys atthe top of the lineup make this must
watch television for baseball in May.It's pretty damn compelling to see those three
(21:08):
guys hit back to back to back. And I hope they stay healthy and
it continues as long as they cango. And if that's the case,
they should be way ahead by bythe time the All Star breaks come.
The uh the Dodgers are And Idon't necessarily like doing the whole female comparisons,
but the Dodgers are like a steadyspouse that supports you emotionally that you
(21:30):
are, you know, incredibly happyto be around. And in the postseason,
some other team becomes, you know, just the tiger in the sack
or just tears you apart. Andthe Dodgers, unfortunately, they can't.
You're saying that that they can't leavethe steady relationship of the regular season over
(21:52):
eight that four weeks of salacious sex. Just I lost, I lost my
head. I just well, Ididn't recognize by the decisions I was making
were terrible. Fight all, fightall. Now, Colin, Yeah,
Colin totally approved him, very Colinlike, now, look, do I
expect the Dodgers to sweep No,but it is awfully hard to bet against
him not winning a series, consideringall things. The pitching, the fact
(22:15):
they got Thursday off so they don'thave to have a bullpen game here.
The starting pitching actually to be exact, because remember when we bring these national
people, I don't we all haveto ask the question like, yeah,
well what about the this is great, but what about the playoffs? And
they say, well, look,starting pitching. You know, how are
we feeling about these glass now?Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of
unknowns there. I'm a modo.A lot of unknowns there. But hey,
now, like as great as thatone, two, three is and
(22:38):
really four or five with three homeruns in one game? Now for Max
Munthsey and Will Smith, like thestarting pitching has kind of been it right.
The stone Boner has given up justthree runs in his last twenty innings.
Uh, and he might end upbeing the odd man out. I
doubt it. But if Bobby Millergets healthy, comes off the il,
one of these dudes is go goingaway. I think James Paxton, let's
(23:02):
say tomorrow, when he's on themound. He goes back to back seven
innings against really good offenses, theBraves the last time out the six and
two thirds only gave up a run. And then after that you do it
to the Padres, a pretty darngood offense. Uh, what do you
do with him? He's not arookie, he's an old man. You're
taking him out of the rotation.You're putting an old guy who's been a
starter in the bullpen. And thenSunday Walker Bueller takes another step. Now,
(23:26):
what like, whose place does doesBobby Miller take when he's ready,
like as of right now, thefive man rotation. If in fact,
Walker Buehler in that ninety eight milesan hour that the trash Man Neil Ella
Trash said was sweet not to mention. He talked about him snapping that spin
on his breaking balls and how impressivethat was. And you know, Ella
Trash, he's seen a lot now. Yeah, he's sifted through the garbage.
(23:49):
There's no doubt about that, exactlyright. He knows what trash looks
like and what treasure looks like.And he was saying, Bueller, not
trash, treasure. You got glasnowto night. He is your second and
favorite to win the cy Young behindthat dude in uh Philadelphia, Paxton Tomorrow,
Bueler Sunday, Yamamoto Monday in SanFrancisco, just to remind them you
(24:12):
blew it and a stone Boner Tuesdaywaiting to return. Clayton Kershaw. He's
ahead of schedule. Heard him putthe headset on the other day. Bobby
Miller rehab start. Dave Assay didn'tpoop poo us when we asked about what
was going on with Bobby Miller.You know, bullpen rehab stuff like that.
That's news apparently, and Dustin maywe forget about Yeah, and Landon
(24:33):
Neck the kannak, who's the neckhe's hanging around in Triple A waiting to
come home. Now, that isa potential eight starters. And here's what
I'm here, and this is whatI all of this a setup to this
proclamation. Kate's feel free to crackyour mic, the scene head that you
are, and a man who knowswho's been part of a battery, that
(24:57):
knows what it means it g ona schedule. Huh. I've caught a
no hitter, so I know.Yeah, that's right. She didn't catch
one from a pitcher who was ina flannel. I threw one, okay,
and I wore a flannel ready.Kate's they're gonna go to a six
man rotation. I don't see anyway around it. His team is going
(25:18):
to a six man rotation because ifit's not a day off, they go
to the bullpen game. So ifyou're gonna do that when Bobby Miller is
healthy, none of these guys aregetting yanked. It is. It will
be a six man rotation, andit's going to be all the talk.
Is that, right? Are theseguys they're not used to that sort of
schedule the top. That's what we'redoing here on the Petros Money Show.
(25:44):
We're going to have a six manrotation. And if you thought that was
bold, ready for this one.Yes, Clayton, Kershaw Dustin may come
back at the same time and theysplit a start and it's a seven man
rotation. Two guys starting on theseventh day in May. You take the
first four, Kershaw, you takethe next four. Bullpen gets arrest bing
bang boom. See what I'm saying, What do you think we'll get Rick
(26:07):
Monday on asking Let's get Monday on. Somebody call that company, that car
company. Wanted to make sure Igot ahead of it. Edmunds exactly,
call Edmunds, get him on.You heard it here first six man rotation
in the Miller's healthy seven man rotationwith Kershawn Dustin made being a Frankenstein Hybridge
seventh starter than each pitch four innings. Wow, okay, just thing on.
(26:29):
You heard it here first, everybody, you heard it here first.
Maybe kate's'll run it by Vassa withMarongo Casino Dodgers on deck. We had
him on earlier. We're talking moreabout it later baseball fever. Everybody's got
it in May because the Dodgers areso damn good. We'll be right back
with your ten and a live guideBirthday of the Day, and then we'll
(26:52):

Money Show. Tim Kate's coming upat I think we're doubling up on this,
(28:23):
Matt. I got a British Newscelebrating a birthday this week. It's
time for PMS British News, UnitedKingdom, English News. It's time for
British News. Cheerios straight gets out. Howard Carter Matt a world renowned archaeologist
and egyptologist Our dead guy, birthdayfor today. The youngest of eleven,
(28:45):
born in Kensington, near London ineighteen seventy four to an artist and illustrator
father who helped him develop artistic talents. Limited formal education, he studied the
collections of Egyptian antiques in the nearbymansion of the Amherst family. It was
there that Lady Amherst was impressed byhis artistic skills. Oh fel Court's impressive
(29:11):
and promoted the Egyptian Exploration Fund tosend him to Egypt to use his skills
at the young age of seventeen.Here we go. Now he was innovative
and drawing and oreticulating tomb decorations andhieroglyphics for many of the excavations near Luxer,
which is right at the end ofthe strip. It's my favorite.
(29:34):
Actually. In nineteen oh two,Carter sent out to searching the Valley of
the Kings, west side of theNile, near the ancient city of Thebes.
In this area nearly five hundred yearsof rock cut tombs of the Pharaohs
are there, and you know,every young man here in Modesto wants to
be a pharroe. In nineteen ohseven he began work for Lord Carnarvon,
(30:02):
a British aristocrat, who employed himto supervise his excavations. Nineteen fourteen he
received a concession to dig in theValley of the Kings by the Egyptian government.
Now, at that time there weretwenty six royal tombs. How many
had they found? Matt twenty five? There was one a little boy king
known as tooton Common. Oh yeah. Now Carter and Carnarvon set out to
(30:27):
find that last royal tomb, butthen the First World War broke out.
It ended in nineteen seventeen. Theycame back for five years they dug nothing.
By nineteen twenty two, Carnarvon wasgetting pretty restless, but he did
do his final season in nineteen twentytwo. On November fourth, a local
(30:48):
boy hired to transport water jugs anddig site. Into the dig site search
for a spot to sit and eathis lunch. He cleared away some rocks
and debris with his hands. Hefound a cut stone. There was a
step. Called Carter over to investigate. It was a series of steps.
Oh yeah. They dug it outand they found cartushes. So then he
(31:14):
told Carnarvon, get your ass overand ask shaped like a car, yeah,
cartush, Yeah, that's it's anEgyptian car ass car. Thank you.
He told Carnarvaugh to return from England, and he came two and a
half weeks later, on November twentyfourth, with him present, the stairway
was cleared, revealing a seal containingToot and Commons cartouche on the outer doorway.
(31:41):
And he'd done it. He hadfound the last pharaoh's tombs? Was
it intact? Matt, hmmm,I think it was. Yeah. With
Carnarvon, Lady Evelyn, and Carter'sassistant, they went in there. He
put a candle up to peer intothe chamber. A gust of three thousand
year old stale poop air rushed out. Carter's candle flickered before finally revealing the
(32:06):
glow of gold from the treasure inside. Lord Carnarvon asked, can you see
anything? And Carter responded with thethree most famous words in archaeological history.
Yes, wonderful things. It waspacked, Matt touton common stuff covered with
gold and ebony, stacked from Floridaceiling. And they entered. They noticed
(32:30):
another sealed doorway to the right betweenthe two sentinel statues, but they weren't
supposed to go in there without theEgyptian Department of Antiquities guys. It is
believed, however, though, thatlater that night, Carter, Carnarvon,
and Lady Evelyn swooped back in there, looked in and confirmed it to be
the burial of the Chamber of theFederal They found the Royal Tomb of Tuton
(32:53):
Common with its seal three two hundredyears old, still preserved an intent,
five shrines made entirely of solid gold, the best preserved and most intact pom
ever found in the Valley of theKings for the Pharaohs. Three hundred objects
documented from King Tut, including thegold mask of the king, considered to
(33:17):
be matt the most iconic ancient Egyptianartifact in the world. Yeah, I
don't think it's even close. Rememberwhen he went on tour. Well,
it's funny, it's it is trulyone of my earliest memories. I think
I might have been three and ahalf. I was probably almost four,
But I can remember my mom yellingat Kevin to get in line because King
(33:40):
Tut came to the Field Museum inChicago in the late seventies and she was
freaking out because all you just stoodin line for like six hours to get
in to see it. Yeah,it was like seeing the Queen's body.
Yeah. Remember the Steve Martin thingborn in Arizona, moved to Babylonia,
King tut we had that record too. He spent ten years meticulously clearing the
(34:02):
tomb before embarking on several worldwide lecturetours to talk about the discovery, and
despite the significance of the find,he got no honor from the British government,
never knighted because he was of workingclass, never made enough money to
get past that. Died in nineteenthirty nine from Hodgkin's disease at sixty four,
not the curse of the Mummy,and was buried in the Putney Vale
(34:25):
Cemetery in London. Nine people attendedhis funeral. The greatest archaeologist of all
time, Howard Carter born this week. Yeah beautiful, Well you're a live
guy. Not quite that at combut British, right, but British.
Yeah, it's time for PMS,British News, United Kingdom, English News.
(34:49):
It's time for British news. Cheeryheaded for me Kates because if we
got a shot to play Dreadlock Holiday, we are going to play TENNSEC on
the list of maybe like I don'tknow if I want to say underrated,
but maybe one of the most unknownbands that have had like multiple hits big
(35:14):
hits. They're different, the songsare really different, and there's like thirty
dudes. Yeah, but this isthe main guy, Graham Gouldman is the
songwriter. Uh, and so fewpeople have any idea who he is.
But he's a guy that wrote aton of hits for a bunch of other
bands as well. And Tensec kindof came to be a project out of
his frustration of just writing music forother people. So born in Broughton,
(35:37):
Jewish played around Manchester growing up andhis Whirlwinds were the house band at the
local Jewish Lads Brigade outlet. Uh. That is where they were signed out
of from being the house band theJewish Lads Brigadion, oh changed the name
from Whirlwinds to the Mockingbirds. Hesigned with Columbia and they rejected his first
(36:00):
submission. They said, hey,you got a first single. He's like,
yeah, here it's called for YourLove. They were like, yeah,
we don't like it. He's like, what do you mean you don't
like it? So he sold itto the Yardbirds and it was the number
one song of the year, Sothanks Columbia. Mocking Birds, though,
were regulars on top of the Popsthey loved them there, but the Yardbirds
loved them even more, so wejust kept writing hits for them. A
(36:22):
Heart full of Soul, Evil HeartedYou. He wrote for the Hollies,
he wrote for Herman's Hermits, hewrote for Jeff Beck, but said he
just kind of got tired and burntout on the songwriting front, and so
with all the guys that he workedwith at Strawberry Studios, a lot of
the other writers and players, theydecided to start their own band. It
was this ten CC. I thinkmost people I would guess No. Ten
(36:45):
CC for Dreadlock, Holiday or theBallot give Me The Things We Do for
Love Kates. I don't think peopleknow that this is ten CC, not
this one, the oh, theI'm not not in love, Yeah,
I'm not in love you. Maybethat's just the it's an indie rock.
A lot of indie rocks do thecover of that. But this was a
number one song, The Things WeDo for Love, and it sounds so
(37:07):
different than anything else they've done well, and even like Rubber Bullets was like
a Beach Boys song, like it'sa wacky band that you can't really,
I don't know, paint him intoa corner of what their sounded. I
mean freaking dreadlock holiday again. RubberBullets is like a beach Boys, you
know, do wop song, andthen you got this this seventies yacht rock
(37:29):
staple, The Things We Do forLove. Our friend Lenny Warnker hooked Andrew
gold up with Graham Goldman. Thoughtthey would be a great match, and
they were. They started the bandWax together. They didn't do anything here,
They just kind of stayed over inEurope and had a bunch of hits
over there. He did get tensec back together around ninety nine and they've
been playing the fair circuit, putout some new music. He joined Ringo
(37:52):
Starr and his all star band andtwenty eighteen still does that. He is
in the songwriters Paul of fame,and his most recent release from twenty twenty
two is Floating in Heaven that heco wrote with Queen's Brian may So.
One of the greats that we don'tregularly talk about Graham Goldman. We'll still
(38:13):
talk about him in the leagues,even though he leaves in disgrace like Shoeless
Joe. Yes, we still talkabout him in the leagues today. He's
no King took no. Well,if you are Matt, you know all
those other tombs were desecrated except forthat one hidden one. Yes, and
we'll be right back. We havequick Hits and the fun Fact, and
then Tim Kaits takes over for along weekend of work and San Diego Don
(38:37):
Diego de la Vega, and we'llsee how that shapes up.
