not something we know in advance generally. Yeah, just just said to us
in a phrase like, oh,you can't do that because Ronnie's on vacation.

(02:16):
ASSA don't know. It's time forthe fund our fun Fast in effect.
Yeah, we're three fat fun Fast. Eighteen sixty eight, Edmund Maceleenny grew
his first commercial pepper crop, soldthe first bottles of his product the following
year, which he called Tabasco BrandPepper Sauce. He did not consider his

(02:40):
sauce to be very good nor amajor accomplishment, and made no mention of
it in his autobiography. Toward theends of his life, I've done nothing,
nor was any kind of merit,nor was it mentioned in his oh
bit. His son took over thebusiness before he could grow it. He
enlisted and Teddy Roosevelt's first US volunteercavalry regiment, the Rough Riders, And

(03:05):
it took his youngest son, theoutcast, the dirty hippie naturalist Edward,
who had just returned from traveling tothe Arctic, to say this. That's
pretty good. Bottle this up andtry to sell it around town. Who
turned Tabasco into the largest pepper saucecompany in the world. Which isn't good.
It's terrible. I mean, onceMike Golic starts selling you for pizza,

(03:31):
you've jumped the shark. It's justnot good in relation to the other
pepper sauce while are available. Whenthe chips are down, the chips are
down, it's time for quick hits. The chips are down, the Dodgers

(03:53):
are thirty six and twenty two onthe season. They're off today. The
team didn't land until this morning,and lawyers hours and hour's delay trying to
take off from New York. Solong sleep for the Dodgers today. We'll
see if they're groggy tomorrow. Inthe brief home stand against the Rockies this
weekend, before headed back East fora six game road trip, the Mets

(04:15):
designated that guy Jorge Lopez, whothrew his glove for assignment in the loss
of the Dodgers. Here Antonio Brownasked, yes, he got mad at
the third base, and he saidafterward to the media he had no regrets.
Today Lopez went on Instagram and saythat his broken English got misunderstood and
that he's a bad teammate, notthat he's on a bad team. Either

(04:39):
way, they still cut him.He is no longer a New York Met.
It's unfortunate. Lost in translations secondlanguage k lost hima, I believe
is what we would say. TheAngels host the Yankees tonight. They've split
the first two games of the series. So you ask him, how was
school and they say, okay,you know, gentlemen's b Yeah, you

(05:00):
know, I did a right youknow, I learned in the morning.
I was really engaged. In theafternoon, you know, with my mind
started to wander. And it's notmy fault the teacher, you know.
Yeah, listen, we have EducationDay twenty seven and the Lakers are still
without a head coach. But JJReddick is moving in the underground like the
resistance. Yeah, Reddick, thatcould change. The rumors continue. Sham

(05:26):
Sharon Balloon said today doused in somuch dracarn war that he could smell it
from here. Ruin a paraffin test, they would never get what they needed.
He says. If there's any finalists, it's likely going to be JJ
Reddick and James Parego. Now,I know there's a period and an end

(05:49):
quote there, but I do believeI saw this, and I think Tim
Kate's unfortunately cut off the next sentence. Are you saying that he out and
pasted it wrong? He did knowwhat to do the next sentence read And
according to my sources, I spoketo Rich Paul this morning, Lebron James

(06:11):
has had no influence nor will hehave any influence over the coaching search.
So I get it, you know, maybe not as relevant to the Lakers
coaching search. But there, that'sthe full quote. Or who the Lakers
are going to draft? Exactly right, Brian saying nothing. We don't even
know, we don't even have hisnumber. What are you laughing about?

(06:31):
Nothing? The next story, I'mjust excited about it. Brianna Stewart and
the FISA Collier what about it?Are launching a new three on three pro
women's basketball league called Unrivaled. Sothey're taking the ice cube once Caitlin Clark
and the Big three idea and sayingno, no, no, no,
We're gonna make our own big thing. They want to give athletes, female

(06:56):
basketball players an alternative to having togo overseas or in the offseason. The
league will feature six teams of three. It's expecting to launch in January and
my room for eighteen of use.Okay, setting records for the highest average
salary in women's pro sports league history. Is that right? I just read

(07:18):
it. I don't even know whono FISA Collier is. I don't either.
I don't think I know who BreonnaStored is either. Do you I've
heard that name before? Yeah,I feel like I have to. I
have not heard in the FISA before. Well, that's very exciting. May
the ladies not have to go toRussia to play well, you know an

(07:39):
a rush salary. You can't getyour vape gone right, Try to get
your vape on and you get thrownin jail. The who'scal Dave Andrews,

Tennis, you know, and FlushingMeadows a while back. You know,
they were like people over there smokingweed. You know, that was the
thing. You know. It's like, this is a this is a sport
of gentlemen and ladies, and we'redrunk and we're high, and they don't
like it, like corrections and retractions. This was a sport of gentlemen and

(10:18):
ladies, and now it is asport of hooligans. You can still drink,
you just can't drink in the stands. You can drink on the grounds.

a gun. It Optic pleaded tofans after her win yesterday. Stop drinking.
Huge respect for you guys, andI know that we are playing basically
for you because this is entertainment andwe're also earning money because of you.
But sometimes, you know, undera lot of pressure, when you scream

(11:01):
something during the rally or right beforethe return, it's really really hard to
be focused. I usually don't bringthis up because I want to be because
I want to be this kind ofclear that is really in the zone and
really focused. So yeah, butwe're guys, you know this is serious

(11:24):
for us. We're you know,finding our whole lives to be better and
better, and sometimes it's just hardto accept that because we're playing for the
stakes are big and there's a lotof money here to it, so you
know, losing a few points maychange a lot. So please, guys,
if you can support us between therallies but not during, that'll be

(11:45):
really really amazing. Right after shesaid that the Polish player was hit with
seven Polish sausages right in the face, like that one gift like egas because

We'll be back with Oral Petros inmoney Am five seventy Ela Sports Live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. Already gaveaway our trip to Vegas, but hey,

(12:33):
we are not rotating. We willhave another one tomorrow between three until

to win. And speaking of Dodgers, Matt a friend to all the people

(12:56):
of the city to see you dotand beyond, but truly great to our
show. We have some disagreements fromtime to time. How much he enjoyed
the show. Sea hunts me alittle bit of an overshoot for us Tim
Kats and the pickle versus Rundown.Oh that was a big one. I've
had to wear it a few timesfrom Oral, he is I think you're

(13:16):
the only one that remains unscathed atthis point. Oh, that can't be
true. I think it is Slobbyp. Can you see the march?
It couldn't be anything else. Dodgergraded broadcaster, along with his business partners,
will open Legends Addict, a sportsfans dream destination in Clairemont, which

(13:37):
is the one right before Montclair Sennacentrally located for everybody. Legends Addicts Sports
Museum, art gallery, sports cardcollectibles display and sports memorabilia showcase opens to
the public next Tuesday. Oh,let's break some packs. From eleven to
seven, IS's gonna be pack breaking. Let's break some packs and tomorrow's a
media show. I remember we talkedto Oral recently about on Jackie Robinson Day,

(14:01):
about the art and some of thestuff that he's been interested in.
Truly a man for all seasons.He'll sell you the car to go to
the art gallery to buy the art. He's on the soukhout a celebrity hotline,
the Great Oral Herscheizer. What's crackingor how are you? I am
standing outside the store right now totalk to you guys. We had a

(14:22):
little soft opening with the Claremont dignit. Terry's here this morning and did the
ribbon cutting Oh, yeah, tomorrow, we're doing some pr but you're right.
On the fourth, we will beopen to the public and very excited.
It's an idea that has been kindof cooking in my head, in
my partner's head for a long time. As you guys know, I live

(14:43):
in Vegas in the off season,and we moved into a new house there
and a lot of my stuff reallyjust stayed in boxes for about three years,
and finally somebody said, what areyou going to do with it all?
And I'd be like, I don'tknow. And somebody said, you
should be in a museum, itshould be on display. And the Dodgers
used a lot of it when wewere inducted into the Dodger Legends last year,

(15:03):
and so it was on display atDodger Stadium. But from there that
display was like we do something elseto let people see this stuff. You
know, people want to see it, get a picture. I think the
cy Young has had more pictures ofit than of me. So they like
to see the trophies and all thedifferent things that have happened in Dodger history.
So it's fun to kind of marriagethat with, you know, some

(15:26):
memorabilia and both of my partners werehuge memorabilia collectors and are getting the point
with their wives and their family,like, what are you doing with all
this stuff? So we said,let's open a store, and we're out
here in Claremont, and they've beenvery receptive to us. Well, listen,
we dig into the numbers, wefigure out where our hotspots are oral

(15:48):
and nobody listens to us in Claremont. So I want you to answer this
honestly. At that rib and cuttingwith the local dignitaries, did they say,
yeah, what a great pleasure itis to here with Orel Hirschzer,
Like did any of the We knowhow these local politicians work more so we
are. We've seen it with ourown two. You haven't been there until
you've heard Pete Karen uh introduced atLa City Hall. Well, you know,

(16:15):
one of my partner's name is MikeCaposio and Composio Buick GMC on Victorville.
We also got Rotolo Chevrolet. Ofcourse that name got butchered a little
bit. There we go, therewe go. The other partner's name is
Eddie Alizade. Do you think EddieAlizade's name got butchered a little bit?
I'm gonna go d I'm gonna gowith yes, yeah, there we go.

(16:38):
Yeah, you know, so weyou know, we're we were well
represented as far as culture and nameshock and and butchering of names, very
well resented. You know, you'rea guy that has a pretty good handle
on perspective oral. You've done bigtime national stuff, big time local stuff,
now working with the Dodgers, andand obviously an accomplished athlete. Why

(17:03):
do you think sports memorabilia and baseballcards and all that stuff has gotten so
popular just maybe in the last fiveyears. Why has that happened. I
think it's a way to touch somany things, and I mean like your
first game with a relative, whetheryour father, mother or grandfather, your
daughter, your son. I thinkit's a way to relate back to an

(17:25):
athlete that you're rooted for and stillhave a piece of that so when you
look at it in your house orthe cards that you collect, that feel
like you're almost part of the team. I mean it was something for me.
I used to sit on the endof my bed collect baseball cards when
I was little, save up myallowance, go up to the party store
in the end and buy cars andthen sit and go. I'd looked for
guys that had my birthday. It'slike, oh, you're born September sixteenth.

(17:48):
I got a chance. I mean, there's so many just different ways
of what makes you connected to it? And yes, is it an object?
And yes, are there game warnsthat are now objects and a big
deal and is there authentication? Yes, But I think it's about the story
and it's about the connection as manycan relate or especially Wow, you know,

(18:11):
I don't even think you have tobe of a certain age the way
baseball cards have made a comeback.I can still you remember one of my
gray I had a Dale Murphy FutureStars card that I got that I freaked
out when I opened it up.And I also had a Dwight Good and
Rookie. I got like six orseven of those. I think it was
eighty three tops with the picture insidethe circle of the Dwight Good and Rookies.

(18:32):
That really got me going when Iwas a little kid. What was
was there one card that you openthat pack and you were like, Holy
cow, I cannot believe I justscored this. Yeah. So I was
born in Buffalo and then I wasraised in my baseball grooming years in Detroit,
Michigan. So I was ten yearsold in nineteen sixty eight when the
Tigers won it all, and thenI was born and bred kind of a

(18:56):
Yankee fan, being born in Buffalo. So any Yankee cards, any Tiger
cards, were huge to me.And I wish I wouldn't have put him
in my baseball spokes because now Iknow, I just rattled thousands and thousands
of dollars. You know, lookingat what a mantle Riki is worth.
Now look at what some of theHall of Fame, like an al Kline

(19:18):
it is worth from Detroit. Imean, yes, they go up in
value, but at first it's reallynot about the value. It's about the
memory and it's about the story.So I'm right with you there, money,
it's unbelievable. You know, ourplace is not going to be baseball
cards. It is does have baseballcards. Our place is not just my

(19:38):
museum stuff with the Hall, youknow, the legend stuff and the World
Series trophies, and it's not justart like Dave Hobrick, our artist in
house, and Dave has his ownstuff, but we've purchased a lot of
his art and here the originals.It's game used equipment we got like Will
Smith's catching gear from the All StarGame and different things. It's it's amazing

(20:00):
lot of different categories. We wantedto do it all because everybody's collection that's
being sold here or as part ofour inventory as we collect more. It's
all the stuff that everybody loves aboutsports or the memorabilia or the art or
the card, whatever it is,and we just wanted to be something for
everybody. Legends Addict open on Tuesdayto the public at eleven am to seven

(20:25):
six point nine West Foothill in Claremont, a learned town of education and history.
Yeah, I was surprised Petros theylet me in because it's the city
of trees and degrees and I leftBowling Green without a degree my junior year.
So I said that in my speechthe university, you guys let me
in University of Life after that,though, you know what I'm saying,

(20:45):
oral University of Hard Knocks. Iheard the intro I wasn't, my mic
wasn't and I heard the intro aboutmoney, saying, I don't think Petros
he's ever come after you, andyou know he might be right. I
don't think you have all right youknow you come after me, I've done
but money. Anytime I've come afteryou a little bit, You're always win
right and won the argument. Butit's that Cats guy that that's the Kates

(21:08):
guy I always beat up on.Well, I'm gonna start and have my
head on a swivel when I startthe car, like Robert De Niro Casino
Oral. You saw the Dodgers sweepthe Mets out there in New York.
Eric Carros was on the trip doinghis thing, ye talking about how he
wants everybody to make contact. Makecontact, make contact, and that's how
we Piazza trade sucks and he doesn'tcare what the numbers say. Make contact.

(21:34):
You what were your impressions of theDodgers kind of bouncing back in what
is always an up and down hereno matter who you are. Yeah,
I mean when when they lose agame, I say, guys, they're
going to lose sixty two at leastand they're like what. I'm like,
Yeah, they're gonna win at leasta hundred, but they're going to lose
sixty two, so don't panic.And if you go back through the records
of championship teams, there are someseven game losing streaks. There might be

(21:57):
two or three of them. There'syou know, two five game losing streaks.
So that's just the way the gameof baseball is. But you know,
when you're gonna analyze why are youhaving a losing streak, it was
a little bit about contact, butit's not always about the top of the
order. You know, those firstfour or five guys are amazing, but
if one or two are having flattires for a few games and the bottom

(22:19):
of the order is not making contactor not having productive outs, or not
getting on with a walk and swingingto too many balls, it's gonna look
like a very flat team where theoffense is not firing. And through our
streak of unbelievable after we were twelveand eleven and then all of a sudden
are seven and a half games upin the nationally West because they're winning almost

(22:40):
every game. It was because offensewas amazing still, pitching was amazing,
and defense was amazing, and you'refiring on all three cylinders of the game.
When one of those cylinders goes flatand below average, it gets harder
and harder to win games. Andthat's when a talented team like the Dodgers
will play kind of five hundred balluntil everything is at least averag rich or

(23:00):
at least above average. What Idon't know what you pardon my ignorance or
oh your kind of being called up? Were you sent back down? Were
you called up? Did you stay? What do you make of? You
know, maybe Miguel Vargas just wasn'tquite ready last time he was called up.
Does he look more ready? Hispatients at the plate, the pitch,
so lot like what goes into thatwhen you come up, you don't

(23:22):
succeed in how you try to resetto find success the next time. Yeah,
I think you know, a lotof our young pitchers last year and
some of our young hitters. Thatwas a great experience. It turned out
to be kind of a crisis experiencefor Miguel. I think he's come back
stronger. I think he's come backmore mature. I think he's come back
with a better idea of who heis and who he will be as a

(23:44):
big leaguer. You know, whenyou first come up as a rookie,
there's lots of suggestions, there's lotsof people saying, you know, this
is who you are, this iswhat you should be, and then when
you don't experience complete success, youstart to wonder about the advice. You
wonder about yourself, You wonder aboutyour work ethic, you wonder about your
strength, you wonder about your flexibility, you wonder about your swing, and
so you It took an offseason maybeto take all of that and condense it

(24:08):
down into something that is useful.And he came into camp looking like he's
a complete guy as far as themental approach, as far as the body,
as as far as the approach atthe plate. So I don't worry
about him. I think he's goingto be a professional hitter and a professional
athlete for a long long time tocome. I just I just think,
you know, with the Dodgers,it's about almost immediate production, and so

(24:32):
that can be a little different onguys as they come up. For me,
I came up as like the tenthguy on the staff, and I
was like only going to be ingames when we were up seven runs or
down seven runs. And then slowlyyou get more responsibility. And I never
really had to go back to theminers other than when I had surgery for
rehab, but I kind of wasable to kind of walk before I ran,
you know, before when I wasstarted running, getting closer to playoff

(24:55):
games, getting closer to big timegames, getting closer to being the ace,
and so I was able to kindof go through a nice progression.
Some of these guys coming up tothe Dodgers now, with what's expected of
the team as a whole and everybodythat's around you, it feels like production
needs to be now, and youdon't always get to make those steps.
The great ORL. Hirscheiser with us, speaking eloquently on the struggles of the

(25:22):
young players prior to finding success.The Legends Attic is a sports museum and
art gallery of sports card collectibles displayin Sports Memorabilia's Showcase. It will open
to the public next Tuesday from elevenam to seven pm. Tomorrow is going
to be the media is showing veryexcited about that out there in Claremont six
' one nine West Foothill Boulevard.Day off today oral they start a series

(25:45):
at home against the Rockies tomorrow.How big of a deal is the travel
because yeah, we got this homestand, but then they go right back
to the East Coast. It's kindof an odd way to do it.
Yeah, The you know, theDodgers of study circadian rhythms. They have
a sleep expert. We had tostart that again this year very seriously early
in camp because of the trip toKorea. So these guys are being getting

(26:08):
the information, making sure they gettheir water and the food at the right
time, trying to get blackout curtainsin the hotel rooms to make sure they
sleep at the right time. Butthe game schedules do get to you because
you know, if your body istelling you it's time to sleep. But
it's really a day game. It'shard. I go back through. I
hated day games. I absolutely hatedit. I liked I liked getting up

(26:30):
at you know, eight nine o'clock. I liked having a decent breakfast.
I liked having my lunch at acertain time, getting ready for the seven
o'clock game, And I like,you know, walking around them all a
little bit or something something to getmy mind off. At baseball, you
get off that schedule like once aweek or once a start, twice in
a month for a starting pitcher.So the travel add to it, the

(26:52):
time game time to add to it, the uh, not only the travel
on the plane, but the timezone changes. But it's not an excuse.
You know, we're professional athletes,and you deal with all kinds of
hurdles to get to the big leagues, to deal with hurdles. Once you're
in the big leagues, there's hurdles, and so it's there are so many
different separators for players and for goodteams. You know, it could be

(27:14):
your mental outlook. It could behow good you are taking care of your
body when you're going through time zonesand travel and everything else. The One
and Only Oral Hersheiser get out there, Legends Addict Tuesday, today, Local

Hines and Gene Wilder. What aduel, just like that, almost exactly
it is the Montabello Dodgers' Clubhouse store. With any purchase of fifty dollars and
above, you get a qualifying wristbandto participate, a chance to meet catcher
Austin Barnes, who says radio isdying, and second baseman Miguel. You

(29:25):
better hope it's alive. So peopleshow up at your event, Barnes.
Yeah, Barnes limited wristbands available.If nobody shows up, I guess it
proves your point, right, huh. Or maybe nobody wants to show up
on Barnes Day. That won't be. That won't be because of us.
They'll show up for Vargas. Ohyou bet. Somebody show up for us
every time, and they text mewhenever he plays It's Barnes Day, said

(29:52):
something celebrate Hey, Happy Matt HarveyDay. Happy Matt Harvey, dandeed Matt.
It is Australian News today, it'sKis and this is Petros and Money's
Australian News. I thought this guywas actually kind of interesting. Matt Kevin
Charles Hart would have been ninety sixtoday. His name that he went by

(30:15):
pro Heart like what a pro once? What a pro name? Okay,
so not casey h. But propro Heart okay, the king of the
outback painting movement. Ah, Iknow that movement. He grew up in
men in d a small town onhis family's sheep farm. His nickname could

(30:37):
have been yours had you just givena couple more years to the professorial look
that you cultivated about eighteen years ago, pro trying to bring it back,
coach, There you go. Mattpro was a bit of an inventor and
cultivated that look, and that's whythey called him professorial. You know,

(30:59):
pro Heart, That's why he gotthe name. He did wild stuff as
far as painting those principle landscapes.This is his organ being displayed in Austrapa,
hence the discussion of the organ bugs. An iconic Australian bush artist.
Matt He lived in a place calledBrowkenheel, which was a huge mining out

(31:19):
back town. And Matt he workedin the mines and he painted at night,
unlike some people around here to claimhaving worked in the mines and just
like me. By thirty nine hemade enough money. He made enough money
to become a full time artist.My artistry of choice sports talk radio,
his painting and sculpting, but youknow, all the way up until thirty

(31:42):
nine he was in the mines.He became Australia's best known artist. He'd
paint a car, he'd paint amining cap anything. No formal art training,
no formal music training. He wasbeautiful on the pipework and you can
tell listen to that. He sculptedas well. Was really into stale sound,
malliable, look at me, stealed, married with a large family.

(32:09):
Australian Citizen of the Year in nineteeneighty three, Michael Hutchins eighty two,
eighty four of the bad guy fromMindioia that's right and eighty five got it
twice Guy from Silver Chair ninety three. Benley never come on badly, nail

(32:30):
me uh oh yeah, oh Nataliethree years running, no doubt. Torn
just wouldn't go away. He evenbuilt a submachine gun. Well, I
got Kate's interest. What he wouldpaint and then he would lift whites and

(32:50):
then he would play his pipe orgerthat he'd go back and paint some more
and then he'd shoot his sub machinegun off. He also collected vintage motorcycles.
He liked pistols, the Bible andthe organ sounds like case. He
owned the largest pipe organ in Australia, which is still on display at his
gallery, which was his house inBroken Hill, which if you travel to

(33:14):
the Outback you can go visit.Are you going to broke on you?
It doesn't hurt me. He diedin two thousand and six at the age
of seventy seven. A man forall seasons, but mostly red dead seasons

(33:35):
in the Outbank. Roy prow Hot, the great artist. You're a lot
guy. Got some good rock stars, all born on May thirtieth, to
choose from Tom Morello, Wenona,Judde, Stephen Malkmus. But we're going
with a noe brainer, bigger,more recognizable. They've been six Stephen up

(33:59):
missing the Jicks songs today than eachand all of those. Bigger than Malcolmus,
Matt come on, Bigger than Morello, Bigger than Tom Morello and his
communist hat, bigger than Judd,not literally Zadravko. Zadravko dubbed the Tom

(34:21):
Jones of the Balkans. Nice.It's the best moniker I've ever read in
my life. Who is this?Every region has their own Tom Jones.
He is the Tom Jones of theBalkans. Let's go, let's go.
Uh you think, where do youthink Luka Doncic or whatever? These guys,

(34:42):
you know, where do you thinkthey take their days? You know?
Here the way we see Jose Josethere it's a D seventy three today,
this song TCV is considered the mostpopular ballad in the his of Yugoslavia.
Yeah, it means why are youtouching my goat? That's exactly what

(35:05):
it means. Born in what iscurrently Bosnia and Herzegovina, formerly Yugoslavia,
father police administrator. He was anathlete. He was a goalie for the
and I thought this was a joke. Not football club, but football ski
club. There's a ski at theend of football. Football Ski club was

(35:30):
then put in a track and fielddominated the hundred and the long jump,
second best runner in the country behindfuture Olympian Nanod stekicch fastest kind of Balkans
other than the Nod quit because hedidn't like it, said, I didn't
like practice and I just wanted toplay music. Man played guitar around town,
made a name for himself, entereda competition during Yugoslav Republic Day in

(35:53):
sixty seven, and that's where hegot noticed the band AMBASSADORI hired him to
play with them cover band. Hewas approached by some music business guy while
he was in that band that said, yeah, that's great, ditch these
guys. You don't need an ambassadorship. I got a job for you.
You're gonna play in my group,Crony Gruppa Crony GROUPA. So he shows

(36:17):
up, they do like two showsand all the band members are like,
hit, this guy sucks. Sohe had moved to Belgrade and he's like,
well, what the hell do Ido now? The guy felt bad,
so he said I'll get you inwith some producers. Next thing you
know, he makes and releases thenumber one hit in Yugoslavia in nineteen seventy
two. That gets him on theEurovision where he didn't win, but his

(36:40):
song took over the Balkans and hiscareer. Eurovision makes careers even if you
don't win exactly right, because youknow you're representing your country and you become
big in the Balkans. That's howyou become the Tom Jones of the Balkans.
So his debut album in nineteen seventyfive did well. That was his
file. Though his sophomorre f hissophomore effort that turned him into the sex

(37:02):
symbol and made him the most famoussinger in his country. Right at his
peak. Mandatory military service. Sorry, dude, you know it's two years
now, it is, so wedid his time, derailed the career a
little bit. Came back out thoughabout a year later, was able to
put out another huge record, playedto one hundred thousand people, still to

(37:23):
this day, the largest concert everin Belgrade. Some are those basketball players
made it through the war. They'reall seven feet tall, right, easy
target. Econ degree, married twokids. Last tours in twenty nineteen.

you down on the farm just toshow you that Zadravko's not the only guy
that knows his way around his sheepand a golds Nether regions. Hey Kates,
