fun fat facts. Yeah we're three. They have done this one fun facts
before. But in honor of youme, oh stop me, stop,
me if you think that you heardthis one before. But since you got
your stack of Tommy cash today,we'll revisit it. Billiard's tables are referred

(02:38):
to as might not even go home, madam. Pigs have changed, take
a flight, Oh God, comeon. Billiard's tables are sometimes referred to
as pool tables, and by sometimesalways always referred to pool tables. Yes,
pool tables because in the eighteen hundreds, men would pool together their bets
for horse races, and the poolswere held in special rooms called pool rooms,

(03:04):
where owners would place billiard tables topass the time between the horse races.
So they're called pool tables to poolthe money. That's where they probably
got their name. Yeah, topool their money together, to bet on
the pony. Now, what ifyou're trying to play some snooker or something
and everybody's throwing their money on thetable. Now we're gonna have a problem.
Yes, snooker table, I guess. Well, then when Steven Sagall
shows up and goes anybody see andge anybody Richie and Bobby in the ball,

(03:30):
and then you're gonna have an oldman come out. He thinks she's
all hard on. That's small andthen Segaal puts his the cue ball in
the rag. It just beats acrap in slow motion. It's amazing that
no one sees these things coming.We got to get back to Uh.
What is it? Bill Forsyth?Yes, William forsythe and uh and Segaal
was Richie and A and a justa vast cast of characters were out for

(03:53):
justice. One of the great moviesof all time. That port woman in
the station wagon. What did shedo? Look at you? Look at
me? Before God, here weare. You're a mob boss, Now
I'm a policeman. Who could havepredicted such a faith for us? I
don't know Nico who could have possiblygot shot? No, No, he's
Nico, He's Bobby. And theywere all friends. Richie, Nico and

(04:17):
Bobby and Loopo were pals, growing, best of friends growing up. And
Richie was bad. He went realbest smoking that crack. That's right.
He went crazy as his mind wentand he shot that woman in the station
way. Not cool. And whatdid she do other than being a Karen
out of the street cut him offby accident, That's all Richie, greatest
pool seen in the history of theworld period, Out for justin not even

(04:41):
close to see the golden gloves.That wire you some kind of tough guy.
Tough enough. Oh quick, messquick, hitch, I'll make it
quick, y'all. Yeah, Dodgershave won four in a row. They're

(05:02):
hot, hot, hot cloth.The host the d Backs tonight, Gavin
Stone is on the mound. Butpuindeck stupid bad lawyers fake you what to
do. In case you missed it, one of the owners of the Dodgers
tweeted about the team, Magic Johnson. Oh what have we got? Dodger

(05:24):
Nation was when I mean tweeted aboutthe team. This was today. Wonderful
to see our Dodgers playing exciting,winning baseball teams really coming together, feeding
off one another, and you couldtell they love playing with each other.
They have bought into manager Dave Robertand his staff's vision as well as the
expectations US Dodger fans have for theteam. It's not the only thing.

(05:46):
He tweeted today. P Sunday showHey his first career walk off in the
tenth inning. Exclamation point. Histeammate Sunday Show Hey hit his first career
walk off in the tenth Today,his teammates and all the fans went wow.
The support of Dodger fans was ondisplay, and they waited until I

(06:08):
left early, and they waited untilthe end of the very game that was
tweeted out today. Again, thatwas like this early afternoon Tuesday. He
Tuesday, tweet Tuesday. They havealready played a game since that game.
Conclude. It was a day game. That game is forty eight out,

(06:28):
forty seven hours old. I hateto sound like the LCD sound system,
but I was there. Sunday showhey Otani hit his first career walk off
in the tenth inning. I wasthere, his teammates and all the fans
went wild. The support of Dodgersfans was on display. You read it
wrong, and they waited until thevery end of the game. Punctuation Matt
read it correctly, if you're goingto read it. Sunday showe hey Otani

(06:50):
in his first career walk off inthe tenth inning. His teammates and all
the fans went wild. The supportof the Dodger fans was on display,
and they waited until the very endof the game. Well, yeah,
they did wait until the end ofthe game, because you can't have a
walk off unless it is the veryend of the game. That's why they

(07:11):
waited until the very end. Iwaited to support the walkoff. Until the
walkoff. There's a third tweet rightafter this one. There's a third man
there. We saw Freddie Freeman hita grand Slam in the third inning,
along with home runs from Enrique Hernandezand Will Smith in the same inning to
lead the Dodgers to a six orfour victory over the Diamondbacks. Recap.
All right, well, did youjust watched the midday news. Yeah,

(07:33):
well, you know, look,people wait, you know, they want
to hear what Magic has to say. The Angels are in Houston to take
on the Strows. They've won twoin a row. Oh, they're playing
five hundred baseball in the last tendays. Remember when it's all about masses,
Remember what it's all about. It'sall about education. We lose a
ball game, we got education,and our education is what it may have

(07:54):
taken to win that game. Andwe do have quality in there to do
that. Failed your class yesterday,you failed, you could have passed,
and then you had that late rally. When you win, you don't learn
no education. Matt It's day eighteen. Laker's still without a head coach.
But our friends at the Athletic.You heard Sham's yesterday. I just talked

(08:16):
to Rich Paul. Lebron James isnot involved in the coaching search. If
he was, tarn Lu would havebeen hired five years ago. Thanks,
but he's not. Thanks a lot. Lebron James is not involved in trades,
but if he was, they wouldhave taken his advice and traded for
Kyrie two years ago. Thank you. Sean. Hey, I don't what
to work to get everybody to feelgood about Reddick. Let's say he's like

(08:39):
pat Riley. Good call, that'llmake Laker fans feel good. Let's make
a weird arbitrary comparison. Yes,According to the Athletic, the Lakers have
interviewed JJ Reddick, Pelican's assistant JamesMorego, and Celtics assistant Sam Cassell.
Los Angeles is quote infatuated in thatyou waited with Reddick's potential and views him

(09:03):
as a pat Riley esque coaching prospect. See because Pat was a broadcaster and
then Pat became the coach. Thereyou go. So that's that's why they're
drawing that battle bag. I justI don't wait until they describe him as
another Steve Kirk. Why is everythingso dumb down? Matt Why why is

(09:26):
everybody so stupid? Because smart peopledon't work in the media anymore. That's
why copy smart people are no longerpoliticians. Smart people are no longer in
the media. Where where are thesmart Oh they're making tike, they're on
only fans. They're just making bigmoney showing up. They're spending a Hey,

(09:50):
if you like sack from the Bats, shut me out, here's my
back burger. OTAs are happening acrossthe league, including Chargers and Rams.
Chargers linebacker Denzel Parentman was asked aboutplaying for Jim Harbaugh and basically, you
know, the the overall feeling youget when your first round Harbaugh, which
is like is this guy for real? Like I hope I don't get in
trouble for this, but like hereminds me of a real pharaoh. Like

(10:11):
I don't notice the way that hetalks, like you know, his his
analogies and everything, but like theyreally remind me of a real pharaoh.
And I don't know, it's justfunny, Like it's funny, but I
look like he means well, likeeverything's come you know, from the heart.
Well, I feel like you gottahave a sense of human to understand,
you know, like some of hislines and gimmicks. But I love
him. I love him as acoach. Like I said, I love

(10:31):
the direction that he got us goingin. He played the game he played
here and he understands. Chiefs widereceiver Rashi Rice is catching a break.
The photographer. We discussed this alittle bit earlier that accused him of sending
him a text, Hey come backhere. You forgot something? Oh yeah,
but I forget. Wow, myfist in your eye, that's what

(10:52):
you forgot. He says that hewould like to drop charges. He is
signed an after David asking the DallasPolice to part meant to not file charges,
suggesting the incidents understanding see what couldbe so misunderstood of So I get
a text and says, hey,you forgot me. Forgot I wanted to
punch you before you left, Sowould you come back? That's my favorite

(11:13):
story. So I went back andI was like, hey, what's up,
Rashid What I forget right in theeye. The NFL's expanding its international
games to Australia in twenty five andtwenty six. The Rams are most likely
going to be the home team,Gocky, the away team, you guessed
it, the Adelaide Kangaroo balls.I'm just gonna play team of bullets.

(11:37):
Play is gonna try to get thequarter and he's gonna be split in half
to kill him. Gonna get kicked. So far so Florida recruit who played
at ASU. I had him doa game. I think I did a
game that he played in last yearand got absolutely crushed because they had no
line. Jayden Rashata is suing Floridacoach Billy Napes Old Billy Napier, a

(12:01):
former UF staff and major school booster, claiming they defrauded him out of millions
for backing out of a thirteen pointeight five million dollar NI out deal.
Now they need you the offer yousign million dollars thirteen million. Am I
going to get any of that upfront? No? No, but we

(12:22):
do need you to sign this letterof intent and then you'll get it.
Okay, Well, I guess I'lltell everybody else that I'm not interested.
Here's my letter of intent, andwhere's my thirteen million? You signed your
letter of intent? You know,figure it out down the road. It's
coming to the man to cross somete's dots some eyes and just get you
down here. You know, Well, we'll get on, don't worry.

(12:43):
Uh he's at Georgia now. Uh. He's left ASU and he's now at
Georgia, ready to take it toFlorida. How about the head coach of
Georgia, like coach you okay?With a sue in Florida? Okay,
go ahead. So we got ourlitigators involved, that's right, see them
when we make our payments. Whereare all the smart people right there?
Kirby Smart there you right? Writinghis name Louisville mayor Craig Greenberg On Tuesdays,

(13:07):
the city's Popo Department will investigate whetherit's officers followed proper protocols when the
world number one golfer Scotti Scheffler wasarrested Friday outside of Valhalla Golf Course Club,
the site of last week's PGA Championship. Did they follow proper procedure?
I'm guessing a guy jumping on thehood you can't go spread eagle across the

(13:31):
line, going to jump on thehood of your PGA provided car with the
PGA logo on the side. You'resaying over zealous police officer mess kind of
what it sounds like. I thoughtit was originally entitled Golfer, but it
now sounds like after some witness accounts, the officer was a little crazy,
just chasing him down and jumped onthe you know, I mean, and

(13:54):
it's a loffler was spraying the wipers. It's it's a long accepted adage that
if you're trying to get into anevent and somebody's giving you trouble, you
don't really want to hear the wordsthat come after. You can't. Once
they say you can't take you hitthe gas. But that CoP's pretty fast,
Yeah, catlike reflexes. Yeah.One of the problems is his body

(14:15):
cam was turned off. Oh no, so when they went to go find
out what really happened, no video. I bet if it was Tiger Woods's
bodycam would be on because he's black. Exactly right, He's exactly right.
We'll be back with more. Holdon, hold on on any out of
text, it says I got togo back to the club. What's up
for Sea? Mark Bryor will joinus? Nat Oh damn, the pitching

(14:37):
coach of the Dodgers on the PetroSomebody Show on am FI seventy LA Sports,
your home of the Dodgers. ClaytonKershaw's on the pregame show with David
Vessy Tonight, Petros and Money Amfive seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app and PE. We goto Dodger Baseball again tonight, coming up

(14:58):
at the end of their thirteen consecutive game on thirteen consecutive days streak.
Just two more to go, includingtonight at first pitch, coming up just
after seven out there at Dodger Stadium. We love to see this guy trotting
out there to the mound with hiscalves and his soothing beard, calming down
Dodger pitchers developing arms, oh youknow, doing what no other baseball franchise

(15:20):
can do. That's the beard ofa psych professor if I've ever seen one,
resurrecting careers, a psych professor thatspecializes in baseball. Former USC standout,
They'll take the Tropeses. The twothousand College World Series All Star pitcher
for the Cubs's been the Dodger pitchingcoach since twenty eighteen, and what a

(15:46):
wild road it's been. Reclamation projects. The highest paid pitcher in the history
of baseball, Clayton Kershaw, everybodyin between. It's a lot. Mark
Pryor knows it all and he's joiningus now in the sokhouts I you Oa
Dealer celebrity hotline for his annual interviewwith the Petrosen Munch. Just about an

(16:10):
annually clocks in? Does it forus? Clocks out? It's like a
guy who you know doesn't like hisfamily, but he visits him on his
birthday. Maybe he's not like aguy who doesn't like his family. Well,
you know, I'm not saying hedoesn't like his family. He's just
saying, you know, he doesonce a year. I got you.
You know, we appreciate it.We don't ask too much. It's the
uncle that lives in Indonesia and comesin for one holiday. How about he

(16:30):
doesn't live in India? Hi?Mark, how are you? I'm doing
well? Thanks for the intro.And I do love my family. I
do love it. I heard youbarely visit, you know, especially this
time of year. Now you visitthe mound though, I mean you go
up there. What's it been likethis year with this particular group? And
how different is your staff a yearin and year out? It feels like

(16:53):
it's just an ever changing thing.Yeah, I mean it is. Every
year is different, no matter howit gets drawn up in the off season
by our front office. And andthey do a wonderful job of obviously getting
high talented players, but obviously gettinghigh talented depth players that allows us to
weather storms and inconsistencies and anything inbetween. So every year is different.

(17:18):
This year is no exception, obviously, with you know, Yamamoto and Glass
now adding to the mix a littlebit different look. You know, with
Kersh being you know, coming offhis surgery or coming back from his surgery,
and Walker being delayed, it wasit was a different look. And
and you look at our bullpen,it was a different look as well.
And now with some injuries, it'seven more. Uh, you know,

(17:40):
there's been more variability in our bullpenthan I think than we ever expected.
And and in the end, Ithink everything's positive. I think all things
happen for a reason. It givesus a chance to look at different guys,
give the longer looks that maybe they, you know, weren't going to
be afforded if if everybody stayed healthy, and then you find some some really
positive stories. I think Gavin Stoneone of those guys has really stepped up

(18:04):
for us. Michael Grove in thelast couple of weeks really stepped up.
And we're seeing a lot of different, you know, different looks, and
I think once we get healthy,I think it just gives us more depths
at the big league level and givesus more versatility as the season progresses.
The mark the off season signing ofof Yamamoto, there was like all the

(18:25):
six days and there's a different ball, Like, how big of an adjustment.
I'm sure he's not the first guythat's come over that that you've worked
with, but how big of anadjustment is that? And and how hard
of an adjustment is it for theseguys to get used to kind of what
they're doing over here versus there.Yeah, I mean it's hard to for
It's hard, I think for usto truly understand that. And it is

(18:47):
an adjustment no matter how you lookat it. And there's a lot of
things that are adjustment. I meanyou look at you know, whether it's
the schedule, the travel of theball, the players, the depth of
players here in in Major League baseball. You know, it's something that's you
know, the language barrier just eventhis, you know, the subtle nuances
of communication with your catcher or yourinfielders, and so there's a lot that

(19:08):
goes on. And then you addon the layer of what the expectations are
for for this kid who you know, who's performed at an unbelievable level in
the MPV over the last few years, and you know, dropping him in
and the expectations that he's going topick up right where he left off is
uh, you know, those areextreme, you know expectations. And to
his credit, I think he's takeneverything, you know, very slowly.

(19:32):
He's slowed everything down as much asyou can. Obviously, that first game
in Korea you know, was awas an eye opening experience. I think
for everybody, you know, staffincluded, you know, how do we
adjust to that? How do wecommunicate things when things are going, you
know, moving really fast? Andto his credit, he's he's taken every
challenge, he's thought through it.He's been very deliberate in what he does

(19:53):
in his work. Uh, andit's pretty impressive to watching him. I
mean, he's twenty five. Imean I think sometimes with you know,
even I was reminded looking at somethingthe other day. I mean, he's
only a few months, you know, in age to Bobby Miller and Stone,
and we look at those guys asreally young pitchers. But I think
sometimes we forget and we look atYamamoto as this, you know, veteran
pitcher on the level of you know, a kursh Darvish, a guy who's

(20:18):
been around for a while. Justbecause of the accolades and what he's done
in his career so far, soit's been pretty impressive to watch. But
as any young pitcher, he's stilldeveloping. He's still trying to figure out
exactly who he is. And Ithink we have a good understanding of his
identity, but you know, we'reseeing different looks, and I think that's
what's pretty impressive. He's doing itin different ways. Sometimes it's heavy on

(20:38):
the split, you know, sometimesit's heavy on the fastball. He's you
know, he mixed in a fewmore sliders last night. So I thought
last night was a great test becausehe had to face a team for the
second time in a couple of weeks, and you kind of get a different
game plan from them, and yougot to come up with a different game
plan and a different approach to attackthem as well. So I think that
was another good learning experience. Familyman and Dodger pitching coach Mark Pryor joining

(21:03):
us right now on the Petros andMoney Show. We're always happy to have
him. You know what it's liketo be in this position, just like
these guys. You know what it'slike to have injuries and have to fight
back from injuries. Clayton Kershaw,this has been quite a while that he's
been out and he's been around.He's on the pregame show tonight with David
Vasse Walker Buehler. Very positive theway he's kind of come back. How

(21:26):
unique and different are those situations andhow difficult is it to deal with a
guy who's out because you know howbadly that guy wants to play. Yeah,
I mean, I guess it's there'stwo types of injuries. You have
your short term, you know injurieswhere I think I think the mental emotional
pressure to try to rush back,get back within the season. Those are
the guys that you really got to, you know, make sure that they're

(21:48):
healthy and they're not doing something toyou know, set themselves up for you
know, for failure just because they'renot ready. I think when you get
into these situations with surgery, youknow, there's a patience I think built
into the progression, the rehab progression, and and but eventually that hits a
wall too, because they you know, they start sniffing it and they get
close to a point. And Ithink we saw that in Walker in some

(22:11):
of his his rehab at the end, curse isn't quite there yet, but
I have a feeling that's right,that's right around the corner, just because
of the competitor that he is.But it's tough, and especially guys who've
been out. In Walker's case,he was out almost two years. You
know, a lot changes in thegame. The players change, they get
developed, you know, while you'resitting on the sidelines, and and you

(22:33):
kind of get parachuted back into itand they're expected to perform. So there's
things that you you know, thattake some time to kind of get back
into and knock the rust off.And I think we're seeing that in Walker,
and I think we'll see that inKersh. You know, it's it's
just it's hard to pitch at thislevel when you've kind of been out of
the routine. Uh, you doeverything you can to try to get back
to the same level that you wereat. But I think probably that's unrealistic

(22:57):
in any situation where you guys comingoff of major surgery, it's going to
take a few starts to just kindof get back in the swing of things.
And you know, I don't thinkthere's any doubt that, you know,
Walker still has the ability to dominategames. We saw that. I
still think he has some time togo to where we find out exactly who
he is and what he is inthis version of him. And I think
there's probably the same type of windowthat I think we need to afford Clayton

(23:22):
from a guy who hasn't pitched ina year, coming off, you know,
his first real major arm injury ofhis career, and you know it'll
take a couple of starts for himto get under his belt. But I
say that and curshes an never doubtwhat he can do, and he might
just pick up right where he leftoff and continue to go dominate like he
always has, because that's the kindof picture he's been his whole career.
We were talking with David Vasse yesterdayand we were asking about the Walker Buehler

(23:47):
start, and he had mentioned thatyou, I assume you're part of the
conversation that they kind of adjusted wherehe was standing or how he was positioning
himself on the rubber, And I'lljust kind of spin this into a lot
of these new guys that show uplike love Bonda, Love what that guy's
doing out there. And then youlook and you're like, wait, he's
been on six teams and his eralast year was like seven, So how
do you guys figure that stuff out? Like it just seems like these little

(24:10):
things that you're adjusting that change thesuccess rate of these pitchers, like what
you did with Walker and where youwanted to position him, Like what is
it that leads you to those typesof conclusions? Yeah, you know,
it's it's hard to answer that,you know, because I don't think it's
one simple thing or one specific thingthat we do with anybody. I think

(24:30):
I think one we're just try toopen as a group. I think we
try to just open and listen tothe player. Well, clearly, we
we have ideas. I think,you know, our front office, our
Baseball offs group, our analysts doa really good job of coming through a
lot of information and trying to boilit down to a couple of things that
you know, maybe we can youknow, we can help out, we
can pull some of those levers toimprove guys. But then again, it's

(24:53):
also there's a player, there's thehuman component to it, and we have
to open up those lines of communicationwith the player h and try to see
where their mind's out, what dothey feel comfortable with, what do they
like to do? And so Ithink anytime we get a new guy like
Vanda or Johan last night, youknow, there's a little bit of just
learning out of what's this guy's personality, you know, what what fits him,

(25:14):
uh, and then trying to understand, right, how can we best
is it? Is it an actualusage situation? Is a delivery situation?
Is it? Is it really justtrying to target where he pitches in the
game, you know. And soI don't think there's a right excuse me,
I don't think there's one specific thingthat we always you know, we
always pull this little tool out ofour tool chest and this is what always
gets it, you know, becausewe've had we failed, We failed in

(25:37):
a lot of situations and with alot of pitchers as well. So but
like Walker situation, I think that'sthat game was telling them, you know,
like your behinding counts. You're notcommanding to strike you know, the
strike zone early enough and counts,and finding yourself in a defensive situation.
So I think the game told himone thing, and then it's just trying
to figure out, all right,how do I attack the strikes and how

(25:57):
can I how can I get intoaccounts and continue to you know, put
you know, put pressure on thehitters versus him putting pressure on me and
having to throw something that was overthe play that they can do obviously some
damage too. So that was theWalker situation, you know, and first
test, you know, passes theeye test, We'll see, you know,
if it continues, because there's alwaysadjustments, you know, and guys

(26:19):
like Banda, it's he has beenon six teams, and you know,
you try to understand why has hebeen on six teams? It's on strikes?
Is it not an outpitch, etcetera. And then you just started
kind of peeling the filling the onionwith the player of Okay, what can
we what can we try to do? What can we help them with in
short and short time because a lotof these guys is you know, we're
still in the middle of the game. We've still gonna win games, and

(26:41):
we're gonna put them in situations,you know, and extra index to try
to win a ball game, andwe're just trying to to do it on
the fly and and again. ButI think it all comes down to trying
to get to know the player asfast as you can, understand their history,
and then try to see where youcan go from there. Would love
to know if if there is ananswer to this or if it's just a
media crutch. The the solo homerun, Like a guy hits a solo

(27:06):
home run and the play by playguy or the annis will say, oh,
you know, they give up thesolos. You know those those don't
bother us as much. And thenyou'll see the pitcher walk a guy and
they'll say, oh, one thingyou can't do is walk the guy.
You lost him in the count.So as a pitching coach, what gets
you more upset when a guy givesup a solo home run or when he
walk someone? Yeah, it's probablythe walk. It's crazy, Yeah,

(27:36):
you know it's but you know,I think a lot of times not all
walks are created equals. So itdepends you know, you know, yeah,
and you know, or you're pitchingaround the machado to get some maybe
a lesser hitter or behind you know. You know, like I said,
every situation is different, but usuallylike there's you know, a four pitch
walk coming out you know, thebullpen or coming out of an inning and

(27:56):
he walk the leadoff guy in fourpitches. Yeah, you hate that one.
It's you start getting into pitch countstuff. You started adding bass guys
throwing. There's a little bit ofextra pressure, you know. Again,
I think it's the old added soul. Home runs usually don't beat you,
but you start adding runners and thenall of a sudden it's a two run
homer or it's a double, andnow you're second and third and a single

(28:17):
scores too. So it's just notabout it's about adding that. I think
it's more about not putting runners onand potentially getting into a big inning.
You know. I think one runhere and there, you know, usually
don't beat you specifically, and especiallyI think we were our offenses. One
run usually doesn't beat you, andif it does, you clearly have to
tip your hat probably to the opposingyou know, pitching staff. But when

(28:41):
you start walking one or two,God forbid, we walked sixteen again.
Yeah, those those are those iswhen the white hairs grow really quick at
the chin. Last thing for you, prior, and you've been wonderful,
and thank you for your thoughtful answersand giving our listeners the perspective. It
really helps when watching or listening tothe games. We've become a bit of

(29:02):
a seed show. Uh, notme, but you know Tim Kates loves
the smacking seeds from the Dodgers ondeck and Dodger talk. And Andrew Friedman
got everybody into cha chaw seeds.We see t Oscar throwing the seeds out
in everybody's face. Do you havea seed preference and has it changed over
the years from your days at USC. I think I was probably like the

(29:26):
O G. David, you know, for the longest time, and I
think now it's they're up in SanFrancisco. I think they're blitz. You
know about that. That's the lineblitz, not line. Uh, I
think they're blitz. I'll have toI'll have to ask my son. He
knows more about him, but lesssalty, a little bit of fresher taste.

(29:51):
So I'm a big fan of thosewe're all looking. We're all looking.
And the San Francisco Blitz. Allright, all right, we know
we said last one. They are, but but I I'm sorry, if
we could just get one more fromyou. If you have v Loo without
control and command, can you takethat to the carnival? That's where you
take it? Uh? Deal itwithout? I think so, because I

(31:45):
He would have been one hundred andseven years old. His dad sold hardware,
mom music teacher. They were divorcedat uh when he was six.
Now it cannot be denied that RaymondByrne was a famous hact and that started
in the forties, in the fiftiesfeature films, and from like forty six

(32:06):
to fifty seven. He was thebad guy in a lot of film noirs,
like nineteen fifty one's Blue Guardina wasnot a big star, mostly a
villain. When he played the goodguy, he didn't get really great reviews.
He split the fat guy roles witha guy named Bill Conrad. So
if you want to hire a fatguy in the fifties in Hollywood, you
either hire Bill Conrad or you hireRaymond Burr. Big Guy sixty five three

(32:29):
fifties Big Dude Perry Mason series thatmade Burr famous started in nineteen fifty seven.
Defense Attorney went all the way tosixty six. Now he was fat
and Johnny Carson made fun of himand it hurt his feelings. He was
also gay, very and after amarriage to Isabella Low gay, okay,
is very He was married to IsabellaWard. It's a lot of people who

(32:52):
are, and Raymond Burr was oneof those. A lot of people who
are. See that mean his hisboyfriend, basically his lifetime partner, was
a guy named Bob Benavitez, andthey were domestic partners until Bird died after
his marriage that failed because he wasgay. Yeah, he never came out.
Yeah, I'm not gay, sojust it's a lot of people who

(33:14):
are. But he was gay.It's a different time in ninety three.
When he died, it was reportedlike, yeah, he was gay,
and guess who gave his whole estateto Bobby be Bobby benavides Is got Bobby
Beta pinis Bobby Benavitez Oh also RaymondBurr, a breeder of Portuguese water dogs
and like another full dog, likeanother fat famous man, orchids like Nero

James Appel born in the Big Town, raised in Chicago, a suburb of
Chicago. Will Met went to NorthShore Country Day and then onto Harvard and
was paling around with his besties GregDaniels and Conan O'Brien at the Harvard Lampoon,
and he ran the Harvard Lampoon andhe beat out and edged out,

(33:58):
much to his classmates rise Conan O'Briento deliver the comedy address at graduation known
as the Ivy Oration. But insteadof following those two dudes into comedy writing,
he instead went to Harvard Law andgraduated top of his class. He
was headed for legal stardom. Getsmarried, wife gets pregnant, and he

(34:20):
just decides, effet, I'm goingto submit a few scripts, and he
said because he was the editor ofthe Harvard Lampoon and had that on his
resume, it opened the doors andpeople actually read his scripts that otherwise would
probably just get tossed aside. Andthat landed him an offer from David Murkin
on the writing staff of The Simpsonsnineteen ninety four, a ten week contract.

(34:40):
Uproot your family, move from NewYork, leave your legal career behind,
and come out to Hollywood for aten week contract. Market provided some
cover for him. I was waitingfor that and he did, and you
were. I didn't want to disappointyou. He's stuck around for four years,
wrote seven episodes of The Simpsons himself. His wife's name is Mona.

(35:05):
That is why Homer's mother's name Mona. He was the one that wrote the
Mona Simpson episode about where Lisa gother intelligence and all that sort of stuff.
Hired away as executive producer and showrunnerfor the brand new, just about
to debut Fox show King of theHill in nineteen ninety seven, and they
say Appel had a big part inmaking that the success that it was.
He did that through two thousand andone, won three Emmys, and then

(35:30):
got a shot at his own creationa USA on NBC. I had never
heard of it, and I'm guessingmost of our listeners haven't either, because
it barely stuck around. It wason for like a week and a half
or a month or something like that. He then got back to Fox after
that didn't catch on Bernie Mack producer, a couple pilots here and there,
and then Family Guy came and gothim co executive producer, executive producer.

(35:52):
Somebody that worked on The Simpsons workedon The Family Guy now Wild and along
with Seth and Mike Henry, heco created The Cleveland Show in twenty seven
by Hendry, Farmer, Petrosen,Money show Gas exactly right when The Cleveland
Show launched, Actually when that wentaway, he ascended the showrunner on Family
Guy in twenty seventeen. He's beendoing that ever since. So Happy sixty
