check out the fit and Petros Papadakas. That's what we like to hear.

(00:21):
Here they are on your home ofthe LA Dodgers in sink and down the
Green Petros and Money tros in money, DROs in money Rosny enable disinterested public,
spirited press with trained intelligence to knowthe right encourage to do it can
preserve that public virtue without which populargovernment is a sham and a mockery.

(00:47):
Zadro's a pultzer Dan Ryan, itis no Plashki and for Petros and we
just won't be defeated Wednesday, Walkyour bike Wednesday. Don't text and walk
Wednesday. What am I gonna dowith this guy? Yeah? Money?
What do I have to do?What do you think I'd have to do
to win a Pulitzer? That's theone award I've never woned. I don't

(01:07):
think I have I don't think Ihave a shot. How often does a
sports writer win it never Jim Murrayand Dave Madison only two sports comps I
everyone. I think story. Ithink that's probably the one that I would
have, you know, just inrecent memory that I could see. I
don't think I cover enough important stuff. The winner, the column winner is
a guy with column I was onSouth Africa, Ukraine or something like that,

(01:30):
right, right, right, that'sthe one award. It's going to
always elude me. Well, wegot to find you a topic. I
know because I did to write liketen columns on one topic I talk about
transgender sports. No, I don'tthink that would do it. I think
it's more like, is there isthere like a soccer team in Ukraine where
these fighters are still playing, youknow, to try to keep some sense
of normalcy insanity over their daily lives. I want it to be it's got

(01:55):
to be l a baby la basebecause I got to be a local columnist.
Is that what it is? That'swhat they tend to do. Gotcha?
But anyway, it's a good question. That's my dreaming. I think
it's passed me by my friend.But you know what, well, hell
I mean, it's not like youraward cupboard is bear for God's sakes,
how many you got sixty eighty?Yeah, no, I feel back because
some I don't want people think Iwrite for awards. But weren't you just

(02:16):
in North Carolina like two weeks agoexcept an award bill? Yeah, yeah,
I was. See look at thisand you want the damn Pulitzer.
But but it's gonna be it.It's gonna be the That's that's my golden
goose that I'm never going to reach. Well, but like you said,
I mean, sports writers just it'shard to win one. It's just because
we operate in the toy aisle manexactly. If you look at the Pulser

(02:37):
winners, we're definitely the toys.They do hard charging, Yeah, I
mean hard, tough stuff, impactful. If Steve Lopez Mars Staff can't win
a Pulzer, how many people fromthe La Times have won them? Quite
a few, quite a few,but all big projects. Not many columns.
Most recent we won one two yearsago. Okay, but so so
it's not the it's not the paper, it's not it's the beat is what

(03:00):
I cover. It's what about right, I mean switch beats? Yeah?
So yeah, perfect time start coveringthe jails right in a column ripping Lincoln
Riley, not gonna do it,not gonna, not gonna win now during
the I think during the downfall ofsc the Varsity Blues scandal, the pool

(03:23):
of fito like that would have beenthat would have been the one. It's
the murre fact that we're talking about. It means that if any play by
on the committee iss listening, I'vegot no I got now, well listen
something that Petros and I regularly lament, how are we going to win a
Marconi? Why are we never andare now in our nineteenth year together,
will we not win a Marconi?And yet all we have to do is

(03:45):
go back and listen to any ofour broadcasts and recognize zero chicks. Well,
we've submitted, we've been finalists aroundthe horns, never won an Emmy,
right, and doesn't everybody win TVEmmy? It feels like it,
Kates pil why don't you do somethingon the underbelly of n I L and
college athletics and the real truth aboutwhat kind of money people are getting student

(04:06):
athletes and how they're getting who's payingfor it. The problem is that that
kind of bores me. You reallyhave to start sniffing around. Yeah,
I gotta do a lot of stuff. I'm almost too old to be doing
any more. Sniffing like like itwas this guy. Yeah, the hardest
stiff in my hat. That's agood one. You'd have to be like,

(04:28):
you know, with all the gamblingthat's going on, you'd have to
uncover a giant, you know,sort of ring of of gamblers that were
fixing scores and game. Have tobe an earthquake, and it had to
split the Laker headquarters. And Ispended three weeks when the Laker digging the
Lakers out of the whole. Thatwould do it, That would do it.
But what if you were in therein the rubble sharing the moment?

(04:50):
That's it, that's it. Igot that thirty six hours. You're right
next to uh to Jeanie. Youcan hear Lebron's moans for but you got
it. That's it. That's allwe need is the is the fault you
a little shaking little ship, tectonicmoney. That's all we'll get it in.

(05:10):
Come on a d keep banging.They might hear our pounds soon.
Let me h, can we geta catastrophic earthquake here to wreck our city
so Bill can get his Pulitzer orPulitzer. People in the business stated,
they say Pulitzer Pulitzer. I'm sofar from the conversation. I have no
idea because I believe he pronounced hisname Pulitzer. I believe his quotes are
great, aren't they though? Thebest and appropriate for today's day and age

(05:33):
and the way the press is treatedit is now. They do earn summer,
earn that, but they aren't depressed. As far as I'm concerned,
I'm still so proud of I know, deucepaper's a tift taking a hit,
but the only times I'm still soproud of what our sports action has done
in this community. We're still thevoice of the town with a conscience,
with a degree, with a facewhere the you know would have the touch
story. So I'm proud of that. So you're the most sports writer in

(05:56):
town. Bill, that's Pulitzer.And it's been that way exactly right.
Being an important you're telling myself thatyou know what, and let that be
my dying days. Let that bea guide for many parts of your life,
particularly civics. We've become so concernedand obsessed, especially in an election
year presidentially, with presidential politics andit's all a bunch of crap. It

(06:19):
will have so little effect on youpay attention to the local politics, your
city council, your town halls,your mayor, your school board, and
people don't. And it's just likeyou're saying, the Pulitzer should be awarded
for local journalism because that's the mostimpactful, not some sort of national story
and a freaking diary of a minuteby minute of how he ended up signing

(06:43):
here and all that. BS.No, it's still local stories. Yeah,
I mean, I don't think weshould cover the Masters. We shouldn't
cover the US what we shouldn't coverany big right, unless there's a local
agugguge. You got Patrick Cantley fromSurveyed is in contention of the Masters cover
It makes sense, But that's thepoint of Colin Morikawa. You know,
we got in a lot of guysKevin Nab, the dudes that are from

(07:03):
southern California and Lakata, Yeah,Marikawa, Lakaada, Kevin Noad, Diamond
Bar, Patrick Cantley, Los Alamados. We had a lot of dudes that
are uh and then of course yougot the long beach guys. Luke Liszt,
who's a Virginia Country Club. Guy, do you know this? Did
you do do a lot of golf? You don't do a lot of I
used to, Yeah, I usedto go off a lot. But the

(07:24):
cant Lais are friends of ours.Patrick's parents are friends. And then,
uh, you know, I justknow who's the most famous person you've ever
seen while surfing? Surfing? Yeah? Have you ever seen any celebrities?
Not so? I mean Kelly Slater, really you see him. He came
to the south side of the SealPier when when we had the hurricane storm
and uh, and I was therethat day, so that was I mean,

(07:44):
there's no one more famous than surfthan him. That's pretty awesome.
But you know, you go tothe Huntington Pier and Bob Hurley's out there
and and those guys, you knowa lot of the older guys are still
out there getting after it. Myman Rock and fig local legends sadly no
longer with us. Brett Simpson,you know, is out at the Huntington
Pier all the time. I seehim surfing sealed quite a bit with his
kids. He's, you know,the head coach of the US Olympic surf

(08:07):
team and a US open champ.So that's what's funny about surfing, right,
It's the waves there. So it'slike they they've got to go to
the wave. It's not like theythey're not going anywhere else. It's not
like going to the Los Angeles CountryClub. You know that's exclusive and you've
got to be a member there inorder to come across them. No,
the wave is the wave. Soyou're gonna see him out there. And
you've ever had skin cancer, you'rehad skin problems? No? No,

(08:31):
knock on wood, Yeah, notyet, I hope. I don't.
Do you sell yourself of sun's green? H No, I do, and
I don't. Like most of thetime I'm wearing I'm wearing a long sleeve
rash guard usually, you know,like now in the summer, I'm wearing
board shorts and a long sleeve rashguard and I put sunscret on my face.
But yeah, a lot of dudesthat are in the water have skin
cancer issues. I went all theseyears leading on batting cage, yeah before

(08:56):
you know, early baton practice,and never put a ounce of sun's going
on, and it just just justwrecked me. Well, for the for
the kids listening to us, twoold men, uh peeing and moaning about
Oh I'm old, and I'll tellyou like my my cross the bear is
all you know, my two decadesin the music business and never wearing earplugs.

(09:16):
Oh really Yeah, so I havecrippling tonights, like really crippling.
When I go to bed at night, the in my ear is that loud.
Wow. When the when the worldgoes silent, my world does not.
So that's that's the one that gotme. Yeah, we're lifting on
this Wednesday. Yeah, exactly.Hey, it's like the the Boss Lherman
song from the from the commencement speech. Always wear Sunstream scientifically proven. All

(09:39):
right, let's uh quick hits everybody. We're napping because Bill and I are.
Come make it quick, y'all.It's funny, it's the best.
It's brought to you by San AntonioWinery, Los Angeles. It's beautiful,
It's it's a It absolutely is awesome. Sip Saber. I get a little

(10:03):
like I always kind of feel mysteering will pull toward it when I'm when
I'm driving. By Sip Saver andcelebrate with your friends and family today at
San Antonio Winery, Los Angeles.What do you like to drink. It's
so unexpected. A cab, nicecab, meati cab, get a cab,
and then I get a ham andcheese sandwich in Yeah, it's a
it's a great spot. I likethe uh. I like a California red.

(10:24):
Give me a nice blend, Giveme a nice red blends. Great,
give me a nice exactly. That'sa that's my that's my vibe.
But a big thank you to SanAntonio for sponsoring soccer euros. Uh you
mentioned it? Sorry spoiler alert.I was watching England. What a final.
Hard to believe that we're going toget England Spain. Rarely do you
get this kind of behemoth showdown ninetiethminute though they had scored like right around

(10:46):
the eightieth mini, but that waswaved off for off sides. But Ali
Watkins ends up scoring the game winnerfor England in the ninetieth min At Copa
America coming up tonight, Argentina willplay the winner of tonight's game between Colombia
and A Way. Is COPA evencompared to euro euro is a big thing?
Right? Well? I mean Ithink if COPA had Brazil versus Argentina,

(11:09):
now we got something big, youknow, us versus Argentina. Then
it's a big deal. But yeah, I think now, look Columbia versus
Argentina is a pretty big deal.That's that's a pretty big deal. Now.
England never wins anything, right,right, They always choke. That's
why most people expected Nether wins towin. They were up one nothing early
and I was like, yeah,here we go again. But instead we

(11:30):
will get England versus Spain. It'llbe interesting. Are you gonna watch it?
Yes? Well, I don't knowit's that or if Brownie James is
playing for the Lakers, what doyou think is more interesting? I'm going
COPA, which way are you going? I'm going BRONI O quick there,
Bronnie's he's he's like, he's likeTim Tebow. He's a good way to
put He's all it's all flash,all flash. But but I can't take

(11:50):
my eyes off of him. I'mdying to see him. Yeah, Kawhi
Leonard, we already talked about itwith Drew from Team USA upcoming Summer Olympics.
Four practices. Coaches said that hewas performing well, but Kawai said
that the coaches figured his knee wasnot going to be right. He was
from when I heard talk somebody overthere he wasn't moving very well. Yeah,

(12:13):
not ready. Well, good news. The regular season is only about
three months away, so great tohear that he can't make it through four
practices. Clippers also concerned to dofurther damage to his need this summer and
put his status for the start ofthe regular season in jeopardy. In jeopardy,
that's yet they sign him to athree or one hundred and fifty million
dollars deal. Would you get psychotic? Would you buy season? Take us

(12:33):
to the Clippers at the Noon Dome? No? I wouldn't either. I
would not. I wouldn't because theteam is bad and also because after the
first night it's going to be alot of traffic, a lot of I
don't want to go see that teamforty one times. Yeah, that's a
bottom on it. Like if Ithink if they're playing across the street from
where your house, would you buysee these datas? No? Wow,
No, I wouldn't want to goto forty one games? Like would you

(12:56):
do you find there? And Idon't find their brand of basketball that entertain
you know, It's like if it'swe're a star driven town, there's no
superstar and a team there there's nohope. I mean, look Kawhi.
When Kawhi is right, he's freakingincredible, Like he is incredible, but
he's all about Kawhi. Yeah,well that that part. I don't know.
You would know better than I do. But yeah, for me,
I just I don't know. IfI went to if the if the if

(13:20):
the Arena was across the street frommy house and I made it to four
games, I think that'd be I'dprobably still take the end. If Dodger
Dambers across the stree from your house, would you would you buy see tickets?
I'd go to eighty one? Iwould too. I could do baseball,
I would do. I'm good ChargersRams Yes, yeah, me too.
Love football, usc U, cl A football Donald about you done.

(13:41):
I don't know about UCLA across thestreet from your house going to a
college football game, tailgating with yourbuddies outside and then going inde Yeah,
yeah, no question. How aboutSparks, no chance, So we were
talking about that before. I Izero interest. It does nothing for me.
Just to just see Kay and Clarkcome once a year. I do
that. Yeah. I liked watchingCaitlin and the I enjoyed that her in

(14:03):
the NCAA tournament, not because I'ma white guy and she's a white gal,
but because she plays a lot differentlythan everybody else. When she shoots,
it tends to go in. She'sgot great vision. Anyway, how
do we get on that Angel CitySoccer? Would you? Would you do
that? Yes? I had neverbeen to do again, I'm good with
women's soccer. Yeah, I'm alrightwith women's soccer. I yes, I

(14:26):
think I probably would. I thinkyou see what they got, They got
like a boatload for that franchise orthey're about to. Who is it that's
buying it? Kates? Do youremember it's someone big? That's it's someone
with a butt ton of money that'sbuying it for like two hundred and fifty
million dollars Angel City FC? Isit Bob Iger? Yes, Bob Iger

(14:46):
is buying it? And his famouswife who is will Obey? Will Obey?
Who's Zachly who's the charge of drillsDepartment of USC Yes, she uh
one Obey from inside stuff. Ialways wondering how they'll qualified her to be
the journalism professor, but I guessit. Does you know she was on
inside stuff for a while. Rememberit was Hannah Storm and then it became
will O Bay. It was mustwatch TV back in the day on Saturday.

(15:07):
It's not really journalism though, it'smore like no, it was like
a like an entertainment tonight show forsports. But you know, you get
eyeballs, you get some ratings.So that's an interesting one. Though.
Would I go to every game ofAngel FC if they were across the street
from me? I would not.I don't think I would. I haven't
been to a game yet. Haveyou been to a game yet? I
have been to one. I've beento one. It's a great stadium,
it's a great love sad and soand I l a full disclosure. A

(15:31):
friend of ours daughter plays soccer,so that's she plays professionally in Germany.
And was on the la F wason the Angel City FC song. Okay,
okay, so okay, yeah,well but I enjoyed it. But
I did I enjoyed it. Iguess a breaking soccer news guys, uh
US men's soccer coach Greig Burholter islet go. Of course you should have

(15:52):
been fireds ago. Now let goof the entire team. Now just get
rid of everybody and start over withguys that actually have some grit and sand
in their ass. I'll say this, I said a million times, how
can I drive around the rules?But on a Saturday morning and there's eighty
thousand kids playing soccer and we can'tfind twelve to play for this country.
It's it's unbelievable's h's it's our soccersystem so screwed up it is, it

(16:15):
really is. It makes no sense. Hier Win Alda, get a freaking
psycho in that chair and let himcrack some freaking heads. The biggest soccer
story this spring was landon Donovan's hereright right, that's ridiculous. How bare
we are? I mean, lookthese guys, and I'm not blaming Buralter,
but the guy was I think zerofive and five against top fifteen,

(16:37):
like you can't sorry, And wehad in the world plays in this country,
Why Warren playing soccer? Because theygot no heart, Bill, They
got no freaking heart. These guysout here in the freaking euro and in
from Argentina and from from the guyswe're going to see from Uruguay and Colombia.
It is life and death to them. Well that's the reason is because
our soccer system couls put places froma privileged place like Orange Can. They

(17:00):
don't go into the inner city.Zat Lebron James. Nobody ever told Lebron
James he could play soccer, right, and if they did, maybe he
would exactly right, exactly right.That's why you watch the Galaxy. My
guy Amar who's playing, has alot of that hard. They got him
out of East LA when he wasfifteen and now he's working his way up.
He's the most exciting player on theirteam. Now. He game local

(17:22):
kid from the inner city now wentto play in Belgium. They bought him
back on a transfer and now he'sone of the most exciting players on their
team. I'm doing a story onthe on the La City Soccer Club.
It's a It's at Latino Women's Clubin downtown La. Nobody's ever scouted them,
nobody's ever come to see him play, and all our our women's teams
are gutlass, heartless, you know, privileged. You know what that kind

(17:44):
of story gets you, Pulitzer,Yeah, Bill, if you missed it.
The Dodgers sent Bobby Miller down heis going to Triple A Ice Ice
and they called up who did theycall up again? Venasco Oh yeah,
Thenascar the reliever because the bullpen wastaxed. So David Bassa joints a little
bit earlier and said that don't readtoo much into that. He'll be back

(18:07):
in the starting rotation after the allstart break. I don't. I don't
know if I believe that or not. I mean, I believe I say,
but he was. Bobby Miller hasbeen terrible since the start of the
season. The stone Boner's on themountain night, Gavin Stone. We love
him. He's a fantastic interview astone boner. We do okay, good,
I like it when we when weset it to him, he didn't
flinch. He didn't approve of it, but he didn't flinch. He didn't
flinch. That's great. You gota stone bone. You feel pretty good

(18:29):
about yourself right out there right.I would. But he's tough. He
is tough. He's got tough,he's got grit, freaking complete game.
But the hell does those anymore?Well? That was against the White Sox
on the road on the road withthe Dodgers. Was brought to you by
a White Sox fan. You're Fromago, No, but I was a bat
boy for the White Sox for aminute, were you really he really was?
It's a great story. I'd heardthat. Yeah, I back doored

and Friday P will be back oneto three pm. But let's go our

(20:00):
word of the day from Bill,I mean his word to get of the
day, kudos to cases is agreat word. It's eligibility. It's about
former Newbury Park High school stand outin current Utah quarterback Cam Rising money.
Get this. He's entering his seventhyear of eligibility seven years of college football
playing for the Use this year.He missed all last year. He coming
from a knee injury he suffered aprevious year as Rose Bull. He's twenty

(20:23):
five years old. He's known forforty six touchdowns, run for twelve more
touchdowns, and his two full seasonas a youth starting quarterback. He had
a red shirt year at Texas,transferred to Utah, missed time with injuries.
Anyway, seventh this is his seventhseventh freaking year and I wonder if
he's graduated. He has a diploma. I would like to think, so,
yeah, we got eligibility, justgetting yours anybody else who's been seven

(20:45):
years in college. We're making funof him. But this guy, no
question, this guy's being celebrated sevenyears. Yeah, that's I don't know
what it is with that state.Remember Chucky Keaton was at Utah State for
like six years. So a bigtwelve media day, he was asking if
he would take advantage of his eighthhe could actually go for it, can
come back one more year. Hesays, that's not the plan. Thank
god, without the plan, youngfella, Well, I do know,

(21:06):
get out in the world or inyour keep, get on in the world.
I know for a fact or afact that Utah has got money,
they got nil money, and theyare paying. So he's going to make
more money being the quarterback of Utahthan he would he's you know, I
don't know what his prospects are forthe NFL, so they might as well
stay for anything. Is that you'rein somewhere that the Utah players you all
have pickup trucks, They all gotpickup trucks, and a lot of them

(21:29):
get big checks, big freaking checksout there. So is that from the
Mormon church? Er? You know, I think you just have a lot
of people that make a lot ofmoney in Utah. That are Mormons that
live there, that want to livein Utah because of their faith, but
they're also very successful business people,or they're Mormons that are spread out across

(21:51):
the country that either Utah or BYUis their team because they're Mormons and so
they have a deep nil budd Sois this a good thing? A player
playing seven years of college football?Is that a thing? I don't think
so. I don't think it's.How about the fact that two high school
cycles of classes will have been therewhen he's in college. That's nuts.
When you graduated from high school,those kids were in fifth grade. I

(22:11):
think of all the high school kidsin Utah that grew up wanting to be
the Utes quarterback that will never havea shot at that because that dude's been
there the whole time. This guy'slike Rodney Dangerfield and old School. Yes,
exactly right. Second old school referencetoday Rodney Dangerfield and Chaz Ronnie.
This is the song of the day. Ah. Yes, Today's song of

(22:33):

then. Part of the country.You're not too unfamiliar with, Bill,
You know Saint Louis, Well,yeah, well a lot of Germans down
there. I went to college thereexactly right. In fact, I still

(25:26):
get chills and it sounds crazy whenthey brought the class deals on the field
with the stagecoach, right, Ilove that. Really, it's really cool.
It's just a Saint Louis thing.His father had all that money,
but he's like, if I stickaround him, I really going to get
any of it. I'm twenty firstin line, so I don't know how
much of this estate I'm going tohave, which is why he took off

(25:48):
and family business was beer. Itwas taken off in the States. Saint
Louis was the perfect spot because itwas before refrigeration, but the river had
an ample water supply. The cityhad a lot of caves that kept beer
cool. And how about this overhere? Civil war breaks out and he
ends up being a corporal in theUnion Army, fought in the Camp Jackson
affair. After the war's father passedaway, he ended up getting a little

(26:08):
bit of scratch and he used thatto open a brewing supply company that sold
the three dozen breweries in the city. And one of the buyers Eberhart and
Heiser, and he had a sweetlooking daughter named Lily. So old Adolph
and Lily hit it off. Theyget married. In eighteen sixty one,
he buys out his father in law'spartner, so they become partners. In

(26:33):
eighteen seventy nine, company renamed AnheuserBush. Play again, Katese. I
love his song, but you imaginehe comes to this country and he put
him in the Civil War. Heyanyway, whoa, whoa? Whoa?
Is that by fight? What isthis exactly? I should be with the
Hessians instead, I'm freaking colonel inthe Union Army, the Missouri Militia.
But that's you know, it's whatit was. I appreciate the opportunity people

(26:56):
are giving me, so I'm goingto fight for the cause. He did.
He his father in law would thenpass away right after they merged,
and right after he bought his fatherin laws partner out, so really the
company became his, and he hadbig plans. He envisioned national beer with
universal appeal, A single core brand, Budweiser is what he called it,
and he was determined to make themost successfully, most successful, I should

(27:18):
say, a nationally distributed beer ofthe pre prohibition era. How did you
do it? A network of railsideice houses. He launched the industry's first
fleet of refrigerated freight cars, pasteurizationimplemented in eighteen seventy eight to keep the
beer fresh for longer. As companyprofited from shipping beer across the country,
expanded with breweries in Texas. Thatway he could get out to Mexico and

(27:40):
California. He was one of thefirst adopters of bottled beer, founded his
own glass company to do that.Vertical integration too. He'd had everything he
owned, the bottling factory, theice manufacturing plant, the stave makers,
the timberland, the coal mines,the refrigeration company. He owned it all.
He and Lily had thirteen kids,traveled between Saint Louis and Germany regularly.
Died in nineteen thirteen. His funeralin Saint Louis was a national event.

(28:03):
Over thirty thousand people paid their respects. Well, now who is so?
Who is Annheuser? Anheiser was hisfather in law Eberhard on the Heiser,
and he was Adolphus Busch. SoAnheuser Busch was really manned by Annheuser
and Bush for but a year.I wonder why I wasn't Bush Anheuser.
I think because it was the oldman. Yeah, it's like, yeah,
yeah, the old man. I'mmarried to the daughter. Yeah,

(28:25):
I got more money than I do. Right now, you go ahead put
your name there first, Naaul washingfor the age? Is that great?
And plus I guess a B aswell, right instead of BA? Just
say yeah, no, I'm sure, I'm sure. I'm sure there was
a father in law thing. Yougot it, pops. Uh? So
there you go for you Bill,A man who appreciates Saint Louis, Missouri.
That was That was great that's unbelievable. And I've got the allowed guy
birthday to day and he got hepales in comparison. That does. In

(28:45):
fact, I don't think you should. You should have even won today beating
out Sophia Vergara, who is whowas awesome, not only not only in
Monern Vamiley, but in that thatNarcos like yes, as the as the
king Pin, the king she wastremendous. Beating her out of the happy
forty hath birthday to Adrian Greney.You know who he is. She's the
main guy. He is like theMark Wahlberg of Entourage. He's yes,

(29:07):
he is, That's what that isbased on. And he's the star.
Yeah. Good looking dude. Goodlooking dude. Not much else going form
fans now, I would agree.Born in New Mexico, raised by his
mother in New York City real estateagent. Growing up, he didn't know
who his father was. His parentsmet while living in the commune and split
up soon after Adya's birth. Hegraduated from Lagardia High School of Music,
Art and Performing Arts and attending BardCollege in New York. So he's like

(29:27):
the character that he plays on TV. It doesn't show on the way he
acts. No, it doesn't.He he dropped that a college to pursue
acting. That was a mistake.He was in the Britney Spears music video
for Crazy in nineteen ninety nine.He then got a role playing opposite Whissle
Joon Hard in the movie Drive MeCrazy. I never heard of that movie.
View alright by great fine young Cannibal'ssong though, okay, he just
big Great came in twenty and forty, he was cast to play Vincent Chase

(29:48):
in the Age Villa series Entourage,and he was perfect as Vinnie. But
it was like a vapid actor withnothing going on. That's kind of who
he was. Yeah, kind oflike Mark Wahlberg. The show is a
huge success and ac HBO now fornumerous Emmy Awards, but it never won
one, I don't think, thankgod. After Entourage even started and post
apocalyptor film Goodbye World, Well,that was like a bunch of beat list

(30:11):
actors in that movie, remember that. I don't remember it at all.
It was a bunch of beatist actorsstuck in the house and they're in atomic
Goodbye World. Yeah you saw that, Bill, Yeah, Yes, there
was a bunch of beat list actorslike they were being attacked by some atomic
bomb or something. Sounds terrible.It was terrible. Well specially he started
to one Netflix series called Clickbait,and that sounds terrible. You've seen it.

(30:33):
That sounds terrible. I have notseen any other case. It's pretty
good because it's overseas. It's verypopular clickbait Yeah, Netflix series, Yes,
okay. Heydinger has his own productioncompany and produce and direct the several
TV shows. He's also a musician, as he plays guitar, bassed,
drums, and harmonica. Okay,that's kind of cool. All these guys
would like do that, though theyall do that, like for most of
them just singing. The fact thathe can actually play is kind of cool,

(30:56):
right. He's actually released a fewalbums, but nothing that was popular.
Yeah, yeah, I covid,I mean case even ripped the down
on the popular either thing e thinghe produced or moved the the most positive
scripts ever when you ripped down onthis fist, you know, trouble during
core. He decided to get awayfrom Hollywood and movies good for him and
moved to a ranch outside of Austin, Texas. He's not married with a

(31:18):
young son, happy fortieth birthday toAdrian Grenade. Well, now you know
why Case picked it. That's likeKate's dream. He wants to pull up
steaks and get the hell out ofCalifornia. Oh really, he wants to
get to Montana, Idaho or Texas. That's his dream. That's why I
picked him. He's trying to livethe Yellowstone Horizon, you know, Wyoming,
not realizing what that frontier has waitingfor him. Bill death, destruction,

(31:41):
Mauling's terrible weather, terrible weather.He wouldn't last a single month.
I don't think you'd last two weeksin the dead of winter in Wyoming.
Case, yeah, I think so. I Fever Guard should should have been
this. I mean she was.She was great in that what's that series
called, I don't remember what itwas, called Narco's Light, I think
is what you it was? Itwas, yes, and then she was
tremendous based on a true story Ibelieve, yeah, about some female drug

(32:02):
kingpin. Yeah, she was great, straight and modern family Griselda. Yeah,
she was great in that, exactlyright. So anyway, Adrian Grenad,
now do you ever watch Entourage?I tried. I watched, you
know, like five six episodes andI was like, not for me.
Who's your favorite character? Uh,Jeremy Piven? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he owns it, he owns theshow. You're right, Yeah,

(32:23):
he was great. I think hemay have won an Emmy as well for
that. All Right, Bill,thank you tomorrow, just me and thanks
