Speaker 1 (01:17):
And we did kill River Ryan. We cause whatever problem
he has. He was on the show twice in one week,
and that that blew him out of ally.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, that's way too much. Come on, pepderp some money twice.
That's just that's not gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I mean, it's been done before. We have a guy
on Cindergard Duffy, they come on, they're gone. Can you
never hear from him again? It becomes it's terrible kind
of a joke for the ages. Why do you do it?
Kate's why do you put these guys on just so
they can be blown out of the stratosphere? Think about it.

(01:54):
It's my fault.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
The twelve different pictures have gone on the IL this year.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, you think sooner or later that might come up.
It's like, hey, are the Dodgers doing something?

Speaker 1 (02:03):
I thought they were supposed to be the best at
keeping guys healthy at all? Right, That's what I hear
on all the Dodger ball washing podcasts, Like I.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Get that you guys develop pictures and they get to
the league, But yeah, twelve pictures seems like a lot
for one team.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Maybe, I don't know. We'll look into that. See if
you're doing something wrong.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
This is a place of accountability.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
But see it's been different injuries. You've had calf injuries,
you've had planture fasci It is not it all covered, man. Yeah,
I mean, if you've got hip, you've got obleaque.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
We've got a full body approach, full body approach to
the player, full body approach like JJ Reddick. All right, Matt,
I got the word of the day, his words the
word of the day. Today's word of the day is
LA twenty eight. We're going to have the Olympics in

(02:52):
Los Angeles in twenty twenty eight. What kind of start
are we off to? As the Olympics closed in Paris yesterday, Well,
the mayor said that nobody's going to be able to
go to an event unless you go on the metro.
So we got four years to build a comprehensive public
transportation system here in the city of Los Angeles that

(03:12):
we've been unable to build since they tore up the
red line one hundred years ago, so we got that
going for us. And they had a concert in Long
Beach with Snoop Dogg, Billie Eilish and of course Matt,
as you predicted, the red hot Chili peppers. And they

(03:38):
couldn't help themselves when they throw it back to Paris, Oh,
Doctor dre too, when they throw it back to Paris,
Mike Tarico and his sausage fingers and Jimmy Fallon, Oh
beautiful from Venice Beach. Did you not hear Snoop Doggs? Yes?
Did you not see the oil derecks? Did you not

(04:01):
see Snoop Dogg scream Long Beach over and over and
over and over again. And I gotta tell you that
Metro League thing was a real blow to the chest.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Matt, Yeah, it really is.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
I mean, nobody wants to get knifed. We can't. We
can't build anything here. There's too much bureaucracy. This isn't
China or Japan or even a functional state where people
get hip to hip walking through the wilderness and build something.
We're long past that. I mean, it's gonna take seven

(04:34):
years just to repave the Vincent Thomas Bridge because everybody
in LA is such an idiot. Anyway, we're off to
a terrible start. Twenty twenty eight. When do you think
she's gonna have to.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Walk that back, Matt, tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Mayor buzz cut Tomorrowmorrow.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Tomorrow. Well, we're gonna be out of Chargers Camp this week.
You're gonna see the ghost train up close. I have
seen the train that runs behind Chargers Camp probably, I
don't know, one hundred times by.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Now and four years though, it'll all be solved.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
Matt.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Oh, it'll all be solved.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
I think in those hundred trips, I've seen a total
of maybe five people on the train, maybe.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
And they were all dead for being stabbed. There's mannequins, but.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
By twenty twenty eight, bustling, no doubt. Member of the
Day Venice Beams Dennis Top.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Number of the Day Number the Day is sixteen to eighteen.
Tip of the cap to Jimmy Tranier over there that
covers media for sports on the Twitter for sending the
link to the Fanatics fan Fest New York City, twenty
twenty four.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Fanatics fan fast like fanatics the people that make the jersey.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
I believe.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
So yeah, yeah, that's the sense I get that it's
that fanatics.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Because of Ruin the baseball's jerseys.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yes, because it's an autograph session. So you know this
is for the weirdos that want to get something autographed,
because then there's the JSA, the James Spence authentication. So
you get your ten out of ten card with the autograph,
then you take it to the authenticator and then you know,
you get it rated and all that sort of stuff

(06:14):

Speaker 2 (06:21):
So you know this is not for and while tipping
my cap to Jimmy for pointing this out, he's like,

that you can you can have a premium autographed, a
premium autograph at table photo op, and a standard autograph
at table. What is a premium autograph? I think if
they have like an MVP or something like that, or
Hall of Fame.

They don't like football.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
They'll put that next to the autograph.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Right, now, guys, they turned me away. They turned me
away at the guard booth. They're like, I have no
idea who you are.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Local knowledge for you, I know is know, common knowledge
is local knowledge. He's very knowledgeable on the things that
you come up with. This part for with your knowledge.
All right, Matt, we got a dead whale alert, and
of course we know what to do. Sadly, Matt, A

(14:45):
whale died.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
That's a bummer. You put your eyes on it.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Huh yeah, I got some more heats on it. In
the small stretch of beach near my house Torrents Beach.
It's a massive fin whale, but not fully grown, and
it's dead. And at first they were like, we don't
know what happened to it. We can't see what's on
the other side. Might have been chopped up by a
boat or an orca, but we can't flip it over.

(15:12):
So but they didn't know it was dead. It's definitely
not moving fifty one feet and it was sick looking,
not fully glown and sadly, Matt. As of two pm yesterday,
Torrents Beach got it easily removed using a tractor and

(15:33):
taking it to the whale autopsy place wherever that is.
I think it's right by where they put the goodyear
blimp car.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Oh yeah, you can get those two things confused. You know,
you see him sitting right next to each other.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
So there's another dead whale too, up north at San
Francisco's Fort Funston Beach, and that was yesterday as well,
but that one was a hut back, and that was
killed by an orca, and it looks like they were
able to remove that one too, So sadly, Matt, no

(16:12):
need for the greatest dead whale solution of all time.
As we take you back to Florence, Oregon, November twelfth,
nineteen seventy.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
It had to be said the Oregon State Highway Division
not only had a whale of a.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
Problem on its hands, it had a stinky whale of
a problem.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
What to do with one forty.

Speaker 6 (16:33):
Five foot eight ton whale dead on arrival on the
beach near Florence.

Speaker 5 (16:38):
It had been so long since a whale had washed
up in Lane County nobody could remember how to get
rid of one. In selecting its battle plan, the Highway
Division said of the carcass, couldn't be buried because it
might soon be uncovered. It couldn't be cut up and
then buried because nobody wanted to cut it up, And
it couldn't be burned. So dynamite it was, some twenty
cases or a half ton of it. The hope was

(16:58):
that the long dead pacid grave, well, we'll be almost
disintegrated by the blast, and that any small pieces still
around after the explosion. We'll be taken care of by
seagulls and other scavengers. Indeed, the seagulls had been standing
nearby all day as everything was being made ready. We
asked George Thornton, the highway engine George of the project,
for his final observation, what do you fake, George?

Speaker 6 (17:19):
Well, I'm confident that it'll work. The only thing is
we're not sure just exactly how much explosives it'll take
to disintegrate this thing. So the scavenger, seagulls and crabs
and went knock can clean it up. Is there any
chance it might be more than a one day job,
if there's any large chunks left, and we may have

(17:39):
to do some other clean up.

Speaker 5 (17:41):
Possibly, said another charge. The dynamite was buried primarily on
the leeward side of the big mammal, so as most
of the remains would be blown toward the sea. About
seventy five bystanders, most of them residents who had first
found the whale to be an object of curiosity. We're
moved back. We're quarter of a mile away. Sand dunes
there were covered with spectators and land lubber newsmen, shortly

(18:04):
to become land blubber. Newsmen with a blasted blubber beyond
all believable bounds.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Here we go, here's a countdown born.

Speaker 5 (18:38):
Our cameras stopped rolling immediately after the blast. The humor
of the entire situation suddenly gave way to a run
for survival as huge chunks of whale blubber fell everywhere.
Pieces of meat passed high over our heads, while others
were falling at our feet. The dunes were rapidly evacuated
as spectators escaped both the falling debris and the overwhelming smell.
A parked car over a quarter of a mile from

(19:00):
the blast site was the target of one large chunk.
The passenger compartment literally smacked. Fortunately, no human was hit
as badly as the car. However, everyone on the scene
was covered with small particles of dead whale. As for
the success of the effort, well, the seagulls who were
supposed to clean things up were nowhere in sight, either
scared away by the explosion or kept away by the smell.

(19:21):
That didn't really matter. The remaining chunks were of such
a size that no respectable seagull would attempt to tackle anyway.
As darkness began to set in the Highway crews were
back on the beach burying the remains, including a large
piece of the carcass which never left the blast site.
It might be concluded that should a whale ever wash
ashore on Lane County again, those in charge will not
only remember what to do, they'll certainly remember what not

(19:44):
to do.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Damn it the best. Why won't they do it again?

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Exactly?

Speaker 1 (19:50):
And why don't we have good news people like that anymore? Actually,
you know what, Matt, this is a pretty good news report.
Let's keep it local. His knowledge, common knowledge, its local knowledge.
He's very knowledgeable on the things that you come up
with as far as for with your knowledge. All right, Matt,
crazy scene in Torrance and our favorite Delamo Fashion Center,

(20:15):
Delamo Mall, and uh, you know it's a bad scene.
Of course. Our BJS is there where we learned about
the red lights of Crenshaw and talked to some of
the Torrents brass in Torrance. It's a hell of a
hell of a remote at the beach.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
As learned a lot about local politics, city council and
who really runs the show?

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Is it the police department, is it the Feds? Is
it the state?

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Matt man, that was education. Delamo Mall has got a
real push and pull because they got stuff there. People
want to be there. They got the Travis Matthew, they
got the dn tie fun or whatever that place is
that everybody likes.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
That's a big deal.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
You got Nordstroms. But Matt, you also have young unruly teens.
KTLA Channel five News at six, Let's get out to Wolfie.

Speaker 7 (21:05):
Delamo Fashion Center here in Torrance has certainly seen its
share of problems and challenges over the years, from flash
mobs to meles, to brawls and threats of violence. But
now a rogue security guard. You have to see this
to believe it.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, man, you're doing donuts on the roof of the
parking appears to be security guard.

Speaker 7 (21:31):
A security guard at Delamo Fashion Center in Torrance goes
on a tear behind the wheel of his company vehicle,
with young, cheering fans recording the racing, spinouts, donuts, reckless driving.
At one point, it appears the security guard allows a
ride along for the wild stunts so that passengers can

(21:52):
capture the action from behind the dashboard. It this way
is even more unbelievable. Someone appears to drive up and
down a staircase. Witnesses say this happened on the rooftop
of a parking structure. Recently, he reached out to the
shopping center and security company for comment. Quote the behavior

(22:13):
of the Allied Universal Security guard in this video is unacceptable.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
His right has been terminated. The dude is really fat.
I mean he looks like Blart like.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
That's what I That's what I envisioned in my mind.
I could wall come all right, barded, I don't know,
go back.

Speaker 7 (22:33):
Please refer any further inquiries to a US. This comes
following a string of high profile problems and concerns at Dilomo.
In August of twenty twenty three, police from multiple agencies
swarmed around the mall after some type of brawl or

(22:54):
melee erupted. Authorities later estimated that about one thousand teenagers
converged on the property to watch antmonal witnesses even her
gunshots and more fighting broke out. Then, earlier this year,
word of another flash mob prompted the arrival of m
police officers.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
And private The Torrans police rolled like an army, not
since they shot up the car of Asian ladies delivering
papers when they thought it was that rope cop have
the trojan as that the Torrance police rolled harder than they.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Did the roade top sniper.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Unbelievable army of Torrance policemen showed up to spwart whatever
happened that last day. Go back, Go back to Wolf Security.

Speaker 7 (23:40):
At Delamo Fashion Center, management had already instituted a chaperone
policy for minors following continual problems and disruptive behavior, which
on at least one occasion forced the mall to close early.
Safety advocates and community groups are now calling for stronger
background and standards for security guards.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Think not just here, but everywhere.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
Ever, I like a donut as much as the next guy.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
At the very end of that, they were like, thanks
a lot, Wolfy and Kate's cut it out.

Speaker 7 (24:14):
It was the best universal security of released as statement. Tonight,
they tell us that quote, the behavior in the video
is in direct violation of company policy and wholly inconsistent
with what we expect.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
From That's not what we want our security guards.

Speaker 7 (24:28):
As a result, the security professional is being terminated immediately
and reported to California's licensing agency. Reporting live in Torrance,
I'm Chris Wolfe kt LA five News.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
All Right, Wolfe. We thank you, Yeah, Wolfy, all get
it together Dilamo.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Uh, we should reach out to our friend, a psalm
Shik council member, mister three for his.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
And and we're a Torrent's police advocates from here. I
mean I missed the Delamo Mall when it was just
Robert de Niro shooting Bridget Fond in the parking lot
in Jackie Brown. Now you turn your head in ony
teen idiots, converge on you protect the Travis Matthew, come on,
get it together Delamo Mall or we're not going there

(25:18):
in the fall, Donal Martin graduates, we'll be back with
more great sports talk. We got your dead in a
live guy birthday other day, and then we're flipping it
to Kate's don't forget Mookie bats Is on Marongo Casino,
Dodgers on deck and he's reactivated. Thank you everybody for
listening the one and only Petros and Money Show on

(25:40):
AM five seventy LA Sports mercifully coming to an end
here on your Dodger station. All right, matt your dead
guy birthday of the day, we will embrace the country
as we always like to do. And the real bab
well K Froggs and the real K Frog, the Bakersfield style,

(26:03):
and that's the real K Frog. Alvis Edgar buck Owens
died in Bakersfield eighteen years ago. Born in Sherman, Texas.
Worked as a trucker and threw his work as a trucker.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
You go to Dutson.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
I don't know if they have a Dutson out there
in Sherman, but he was a young musician and then
started working as a trucker and fell in love with
the California San Joaquin Valley, the Big Green v Matt.
That's why he became the purveyor of what we call
the Bakersfield sound in the world of country music. And

(26:43):
he came by it honestly, worked hard, worked as a
backup for Tennessee Ernie Ford Wanda Jackson. In nineteen fifty eight,
he met his lifetime musical collaborator Don Rich in Tacoma,
and eventually they convened in Bakersfield after he convinced him

(27:04):
to come. He recorded the song act naturally, and then
the Beatles recorded it and his big duet with Ringo
doing it later was kind of a big thing.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
That's cool.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
In nineteen sixty six, His Carnegie Hall concert made him
probably what you would call a country music legend. Rich
died in like nineteen seventy in a motorcycle accident. In
nineteen seventy four, Buck said he lost a lot of steam.
He might have also lost steam with the four wives,
middle players and singers. There is a buck Owen's Crystal

(27:45):
Palace in Bakersfield Museum and Venue and restaurant, and it
looks like a pretty cool play. He would have been
ninety four today. He died at seventy six in two
thousand and six. The Bakersfield country music ste a little
bit of country and a little bit of rock and roll.
Passed the baton to you, Brad Paisley buck Owens.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Well, and you passed the musician Batonda me hit it
Kates as we celebrate one of the greats. Metheni is
seventy today, one of the all time great jazz guitarists
and just like Sanborn, Missouri, although Sanborn was Saint Louis
Metheni just outside Kansas City. Family of musicians, Grand's.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
The world apart, that's a world apart in infusion jazz
Matt Cheez.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yet somehow they both dominated the scene grandfather was a
professional trumpeter.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Dad professional trumpeter. Mom vocalist.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
So he started on the horn, went to concerts as
a kid with the parents, all horn players. Parents said,
the guitar is BS. It's a BS instrument. Play the horn.
But apparently young Pat Metheny approached his parents when he
was twelve and said, listen to this.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
This isn't BS.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Man, you're wrong about the guitar.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
Listen to West Montgomery smoking at the half note.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Listen it is.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
And they were like, all right, we can get behind that,
and they bought him a Gibson E S one forty
for his twelfth birthday. Next three years all he did
was play guitar.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
He was so good. He meets Bill Lee.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Bill Lee ran the music department in Miami and offered
him a full ride scholarship when he was just sixteen.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
He was there for less than a week.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
He instead moved to Boston, where he was immediately hired
to teach at Berkeley Berkeley School of Music.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
He was eighteen as.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
A teacher prodigy, and when he was twenty two he
was already putting out records Bright Size Life and everybody
repaid the favors of him playing on their records, and
he pretty much had an all star band, Jocko on bass,
Bob Moses on drums. The following record, Water Colors, when
he was twenty three, basically established the Pat Metheny Group

(29:42):
and they started pumping out records that would all go
to number one on the jazz charts, every one of them.
They won a ton of Grammys. He has written and
played in just about every genre of music pop, rock, indie, salsa, classical, soul,
hip hop, blues, world, obviously jazz. He is the only person,
the only musician to have won a Grammy in ten
different categories. He just got twenty Grammys, still married to

(30:05):
the same lady he was married to originally three kids.
Happy seventieth Pat Metheny.

Speaker 1 (30:10):

the old goat from the Mountain is on the mound.
