Nineteen forty three, with both teams losing a large number
of players to military service in World War Two, the
Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles merged for that season.
They were called the Pittsburgh Philadelphia Combined officially. Unofficially they
(02:11):
were the Pittsburgh Philadelphia Stegles. Steegles would sound like that
where you want to go, Yeah, And they went five
four and one on the campaign as the Stiegles.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You'd think they'd be a little better, you know, put
the strike together. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:26):

game lead of the d Backs, who are snaky crawling

Dodgers Achilles four and a half games up on the padres.
I'll tell you what school started for a lot of
people early.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
And who else did? It's who else is getting an education.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
The Angels are learning. They are so learned this year
with seventy seven losses so far, because every time they
get a loss, they have education. And that is why
they have to take tonight off, because there's been so
much education.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
But you can't cramp too much. You know too much information,
you can't retain it that. You got to take it
easy on me here, I got five games in a
row of education.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You take a test and then you don't remember what
you were tested on.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Fifty four and seventy seven General manager gets an extension.
Mike Trout's out for the year, bro, But a lot
of education. These guys are smart, all right, might be
the smartest.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, there's there's certainly been to the look a lot
of people that like stay in college forever. They might
be smart within the walls of that university, but they
get out into the world, they got no chance. And
it might be similar with the old world stupid. It
might be similar with the Angels here they've had so
much education, but in the real world it doesn't apply.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
A little bit of street education here, street smarts is
what they do. You need a little bit of that, okay.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Jerry Jones was done messing around as the Cowboys and
wide receiver CD Lamb have agreed to a four year,
one hundred and thirty six million dollar contract extension.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Wow, that's a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Whoa sheeesh ching, some might say with a contract like that,
he's a Lamb to the slaughter.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Whoa huh. You know what I was going to say, Hey, CD,
get your bag, get in your bag.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I don't know, I don't know, CD. He got his bag,
gibnty bag.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Remember the CD Lamb on Draft Night and the girls
sitting next to him that's trying to grab his phone.
His burn our phone.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, your hands off my phone?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Why I are there, happily married with three children.
Speaker 2 (05:15):

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Your bag, get in your bag to bag it. Skimmity bags,
bag man. Tomorrow one Pacific is the dead. Lean teams
have to have their rosters cut down to fifty three
by tomorrow. A lot of guys going to work for
enterprise rent a car. Team's gotta go from ninety to
space three. Those spaces are going to pick you up.
(05:38):
We told you right out of college. We give you
a job in June. The guy got cought a week before.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah, it was the peak rental season.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's the summer.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
We don't need you now.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Dad's weekends coming up. Eighty four players will be released
and sent into the world to rape and murder.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Oh, she's a little harsh.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
That's all. It's hard math to get spin out. Got
the fly Football League.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
You know they're practicing for twenty twenty eight now with
that dude who throws it so well, seven.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
People have died. There are five hundred and forty four
spots on practice. Squiz odds up to seventeen perteen which
is good. That'll keep some people off the streets.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Certainly, they're still make an honest wage.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Players who become free agents, well that'll be available for them.
College football, we got UCLA versus Hawaii on Saturday, and
the ching the Bruins are now a fourteen point road favorite.
Don't talk about me and then I beat you, because
then it's gonna be bad.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Well that's different. It was thirteen and a half. Now
they've been bought. Somebody is betting up. They were feeling
what coach Foster was saying. They're like, I'm a better
a bunch of money after hearing him. A lot of
people want to motivat in that team.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Make me talk community.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
You just better hope that you didn't say something I
beat you because can't be bad.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Did you say something, Well, I I have to, I
do press conferences, I'm a coach. Well yeah, but you
did say something. Don't be bad because I pride myself
on saying nothing. But now that you've said something, it's
gonna be bad.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Bad.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
It's the way you delivered that message too. You just
better not be like saying something and then I come
and beat you.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
You just better hope that you didn't say something, and
I beat you because he's gonna be bad.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I mean, he was dead serious when he delivered that message.
He looked me right in the eye. He was like, hey,
you better like not something.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
You said no to me. It was more of like
a cigall hard to kill, like I'm gonna take you
to the bank. Senator.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
You just better hope that you didn't say something. I
beat you because you can's gonna be bad.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It must be very similar to a play on words,
the blood bang.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
There are some people who believe that they are above
the law, very cigal, like.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
You just better hope that you didn't say something, and
I beat you because he's gonna be bad.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
It's gonna be bad.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
One thought he was invincible, the other thought he could fly.
They were both wrong.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
You just better hope you don't say something. Then I
beat you because that's gonna be bad, going to be bad.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, we already lost. It's pretty bad already.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah, you don't know the half of it, my friend.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Well, you don't even know how much fun we're gonna have.
A guy like Lincoln Riley. You don't even know a
fair point because USC is number twenty three and they
kick off the season versus Number twelve LSU on Sunday
in Las Vegas and Miller Moss is gonna put his
mossy poots all over the bayou. Oh sir, please, ah sir.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
They are only four and a half point dogs. They're
only four and a half point dogs. What was the
line on that Alabama game when they came out and
they were like doing their whole thing? I think it
was like a one point spread or something. And did
you have to bring that up? I did? I did
because I'll never forget that entrance, never forget that dance
hell of an entrance to go down by fiftieth in
(08:37):
the first quarter. Are we ready about how four and
a half? Huh? Okay?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Clemson coach Dabo the Swing Dog Sweety will no longer
take live calls from France on his weekly radio show
this season. They got to submit questions via text and
email like the text do so. The decision follows a
heated exchange last night between Sweeney and a radio caller,
Tyler from Spartanburg, who questioned why Sweeney was earning more
(09:06):
than eleven million dollars a year in salary when they
were four and four at the time, and they had
just four. And it's not just this year, it's been
it's been, you know, just a refusal to accept. All right,
all right, what's saying, Tyler? Hey, Tyler, I'm listening for you.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Tyler.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
You can you can have all your opinions that you want,
all right. I don't know how old you are, don't
really care. All right, but to tell you something, we
won eleven games last year. Yeah, and you're part of
the problem. No, don't be honest with you, because that
is part of the problem.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Don't do it, Coach.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
It's people like you, dude, that all you do is
the appreciation, animost like expectation is greater than the appreciation
and the killings.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
And that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, smart ass kid.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
He referred to him as some smart ass kid.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Hey, you make eleven and a half million bucks, Coach,
you're gonna have face the music now.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Not live call anymore?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Hey, k Rock? Oh no, what would it be? K
Death Valley kdt h no more, no more live calls.
Everything gets vetted.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
And so you know, we've won twelve ten plus win
seasons in a row. That's happened three times in one hundred.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And fifty years.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
A point.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
So if you want to know.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Why Clemson ain't sniff a national championship for thirty five years,
we've won two in seven years. And there's only two
other teams that can say that, Georgia.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
And Alabama spark.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Is this a bad year?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Is this a yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:33):
And that's my responsibility turned it around. But all this
bull crap, you're thinking, all these narratives you read. Listen, man,
you can have your opinion all you want, and you
can apply for the job, and good luck to you,
all right.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
But to answer your question, it's going to hire. Right.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
We're second in draft picks, We've graduated ninety eight percent
of our guys. We're second in wins, all right. If
you want to know why, again, I'm telling you we're
not perfect.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Me.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
My brother's in jail. Anthony Edwards has really stirred up
some controversy by saying Chicago bull legend Michael Jordan was
the only skilled player of his air in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Which one is it? Who's Anthony Edwards? The one from
all and I got you. I was thinking, Anthony, That's
what I was thinking. I was like, the hell cares
about the actor? I think I was the King of
Anthony James Anthony.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Blackish exactly.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
No, it's a guy from there, the guy from the
guy from R here we go so well, I understand that.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You know, Magic Johnson was asked about it during a
sit down speaking engagement with Steven AA.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Your response to that, you know, I don't never respond
to a guy that's never won a chapionship.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
All right, this entire answer by Magic Johnson is actually
a response. Okay, I just would like to he's saying
he's not responding, but it is a response. It's totally
a response.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Your response to that, you know, I don't never.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Respond to a guy that's never won a championship.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
He's not nothing to say.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
He didn't win you with a college championship.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I don't know if he even won on high school.
So it feels like a response that's.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Still embarrassed that I forgot to Anthony Edwards's he was
great as Goose. Yeah, it's great as Goose. He was
also the guy that put the camera together that delivered
the Bush professially.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Nerds, we got Bush, we got Bush.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
There it is on the TV.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Kids don't even really know about Bush anymore.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I mean, that should answer your question there, Magic, Can
you know he's not even the first Anthony Edwards I'm
thinking of Magic.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Knew about a lot of Bush.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I'll tell you that you ain't kidding right there in
the form Club.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
All right, we'll be back with more great sports talk.
We got John Haymon coming up. Naxtell you the doc
is the best team in the history of the world.
But they'll use to his uh, but they'll lose to
his almighty Yankees period. That's where he leaned period. Just
so you know, period that throw some money.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
AM five seventy el e Sports Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. We got football this weekend, Saturday, UCLA at
Hawaii kickoff at four thirty pm. It'll be in our
sister station, AM eleven fifty because the Dodgers will be
in the midst of their four game series against the Diamondbacks,
the hottest team in baseball, and that will back up
the series that starts tomorrow pe the Dodgers hosting the Orioles,
(13:34):
one of the absolute best teams in all of baseball
and a team that is giving the Yankees all they
can handle for that al East Crown.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Well, let's check in with the Capital of the world
New York City, and when it comes to New York City,
there's a Capital Baseball mine that is the top of
the Capitol. John Hammond.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
He used to be.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Just to burn out Philby Smoker and a hoo farted
tank top South Bank, working to the Daily Breed. But
now things have change. New York Post MLB Network one
of the most influential opinion shapers in the last twenty
years in the great American sport at baseball, and he
joins us on your Southern California Toyota Dealer celebrity hotline.
(14:21):
MLBING Network's jewel and his hair looks great. Our friend
John Hayman on the Petros and Money Show. John, it's
great to hear from you. How are you.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm good, How are you? Petros and Money. It's been
a long time.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Too long, it has been too long, and we're happy
to be talking to you. We need the outside perspective
because you know what it's like, we get blind. You know,
we can't see the forest or the trade out here
with the Dodgers. But looks like the Dodgers are doing okay.
What is the national perspective on Otawni and these Dodgers.
You think we're headed for heartbreak again.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Oh, I don't know. I horne not predict the Dodgers
over the Orioles to start the year, So of course
I went with the draw, didn't go out on the
limb there. I went with the the star studded Hollywood
Dodgers to win it, and I think they've got a
(15:16):
good chance. But you know what, this is an interesting
year where no team is en root for one hundred wins,
not even the Dodgers this year, at least, not on
taste for one hundred. So you know, I think at
full strength they're the best team. But so many questions
right now. Yamamoto, of course, you've got Kertshaw Glass now
(15:37):
even consoling, you got a lot of questions there about
the rotation. I think they'll be able to piece it
together and they should have a good shot to win it.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
I do believe what Yeah, let's just say yeah that
this holds John and Yamamoto and Glass. Now they don't
get back out there until I don't know, mid September.
They get two weeks to try to get ready for
the postseason, and the Diamondbacks continue this incredible run that
they are on like, going into it, who do you
think you would you would lean toward because we saw
(16:09):
what they were able to do to the Dodgers last year,
and it just feels like this this could end up
being another as Petros sort of alluded to. They win
the regular season, they have the best record in the
National League, and then you look at their postseason rotation,
You're like, well, that doesn't look like it's going to
win a series.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Well, if they're healthy, it looks good to me. If
they are healthy. That is a big if with the Dodgers, obviously,
and shouldn't be a surprise. Obviously. Krisho has already had
a Hall of Fame career. You know, he's had to
reinvent himself, so he's not the same Pittre he was,
you know, five even five years ago. A glass now.
(16:45):
I mean they knew when they got him he had
never thrown more than hundred and twenty five and easy
now has done that, but still as a guy who
does get hurt on occasion, So I guess can't be
surprised by that. But at full strength, I do believe
they have the best team, which is why I picked them.
I did see the Diamondbacks as a playoff team. And look,
they made the World Series last year and they are
(17:05):
improved over last year. They've got their guys back. Now
Gallon is back, Kelly's back, you know, I Rod is
now pitching Montgomery, who knows what's going on with him,
he's in the bullpen. But they are an outstanding team.
The Padres, same thing. The NL West has really shown
itself to be right now the best division in baseball
at the moment, they are playing the best of all
(17:27):
the divisions, at least the top of the division is.
And you know, I do believe that it's kind of
a crapshoot this year. We have nobody winning one hundred
and ten hundred eleven games, and we probably have no
one winning one hundred and we have got a lot
of injury questions with just about all of the teams,
so very unpredictable. But at full strength, I do believe
(17:48):
the Dodgers are the best teams.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Look, is it nitpicking? Maybe they lose one in extras
and they take two out of three from the Rays,
But the one they lose, Michael Kopek goes out there
in the eighth inning. Now, it appeared though it had
appeared as though he was going to be their closer,
that he was their ninth inning guy. That's kind of
the way it felt like it was trending. Then he
goes out in the eighth and it's disaster in the eighth.
(18:12):
In the ninth with Joe Kelly, they lose in extras.
In all of your experience in covering baseball, is is
it okay to have this new sort of vision of Oh,
I just want him to face the most dangerous part
of the lineup, regardless of the seventh, eighth, or ninth inning.
Or do you think that that's a guy throwing that
hard that should just be designated for the ninth inning.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah, I mean it depends on the individual. I guess, sir,
only certain guys are cut out for the ninth inning.
And he has done well there in the ninth inning.
So if you have somebody who can do that, and
those are the three hardest doubts. Maybe I'm a little
bit of old school, but that's kind of the way
I feel. You know, if you've got a really dominant guy,
(18:54):
you know, let's say a left hander, and you've got
good left handed batter is up in the eighth and
he's your closer on opposed to that, but in this
case it looked like Kopek was kind of comfortable in
the night. I think, so, you know, maybe stick with him.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
There, the one and only John Hayman, a hero to
the people, a hero to the Petrosen Money show. When
it comes to well, Toddi's forty for forty before August
is even over or close to over. How impressive is that?
What are we looking at?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
It's amazing. I mean he's the first one, right, and
he's on pace for close to fifty to fifty. That
would be the first one to do that in the
same year. I think. I think there have been two
or three guys who've done fifty to fifty over a career,
a fifty stolen base season of fifty home run season.
Do you guys know who they are? By the way,
Petrosen money conseko, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
He moved pretty fast for a big juicer though.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I've got two names getting I'm putting you on the.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Spot, Alfonso Soriano.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I have the two names that I think are Brady
Anderson and Barry Bonds. Oh wow, that might be another one. Okay,
you know he could be the first to do it
in one season. Amazing. So you know, look, they got
him for seven hundred million and it was a bargain,
so muscle tough to them. Amazing job.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
How Like, what does that say, I guess about what
does it say about Oltani that we never really thought?
I mean, I guess I don't remember thinking of him
as this incredible base stealer that that he just decides, oh, well,
I'm not going to pitch this year, so I'll end
up as one of the great base runners in baseball instead.
I'll focus on that. Just how incredible of a talent
and how hard is it to become a base stealer
(20:36):
in all your experience covering the sport that he's been
able to do at this one season and put this
thing together?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, well, I mean he's used to being great at
two things, right, and that was this thing to be
the versatile, the most versatile guy, even more versatile than
Beth's historically versatile, to be able to be a pitcher
and a slugger. And now he can't pitch this year,
has not done so far. I guess he's on the
mound now, so we shall see. But yeah, we knew
(21:04):
he was fast. I mean in terms of the sprints speed,
he's got to be in the top one or two
percent in baseball, right, So that doesn't mean you can
be a base steeler though, because we got fast guys
in New York. Brandon Nemo is a fast guy, not
a bass steeler. And the guy's got a neck. He's
an amazing and amazing talent. And you know, I guess
(21:25):
hitting the home runs wasn't enough for him. He's got
to be a base steeler too. And you know, I
think the MVPs are probably wrapped up now. Normally we
wait to see September because MVPs are often one in September,
but I think we probably have our two MVPs now
with Judge and o'tani.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
How As I would imagine, you've done a few, you know,
pieces on Jason Hayward over the course of his career
winning a World Series with the Cubs, them talking about
how important he was. Freddie Freeman didn't hold back when
asked about the team moving on from him, talking about
the impact that he had on the young guys, how
great he was in the clubhouse, how how important of
(22:04):
a piece is that? And did they make a mistake
letting him go. It's you know, statistically he's only hitting
two oh eight, but when you hear the way Freddie
describes it, it sounds like they may have really stepped in
it here.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Well, I mean, he is Freddie's best friend, I think,
but he is a terrific individual, so I get it.
Certainly there'll be guys, not only Freddy in that clubhouse
or disappointed. But you know, today's day of analytics, you
generally go by the numbers, right, you don't put too
much stock in that, But he did. His big contribution
(22:36):
to the Cubs historic championship was the speech that he
gave during the reign delay, right, So he certainly did
have an impact there, not with numbers but with his personality.
So you know, I mean, obviously you'd rather have him
in the clubhouse. But you know, the Dodgers says, so
many good players and so many injuries, so they have
(22:58):
a lot of decisions to make. Who really he's suited DFA,
who to send up, who to send down? And you know,
I'm sure this was a tough one for them to make,
but you know, sometimes you have to make hard decisions,
you know, I'm I'm sure it can't affect the team,
but generally you go by the stats. Now, that's the
way all the teams operate. Right.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
It's hard to leave the daily briefs for New York.
But John Hayman made the right decision in his life.
The John Hayman World Series preview Orioles coming to town
for three? Where did they come from?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Amazing? Right, They've lost three out of their four top starters. Right,
Efflin's now down along with British and Grays and Rodriguez,
and they're hanging right there with the big bad Yankee.
So I give them an immense amount of credit. They
have so many great young position players and they come
right at you, and they played the game well. They
got a good manager, and they're certainly a threat. But
(23:52):
I mean, to lose three out of your four starters
and your a small market team, I don't know about
that prediction. I'm not seeing too comfortable with them winning
the American League, but they're hanging in there and winning
a lot of games at least in the in the
regular season.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
All right, last one for you, John, and we appreciated
bigger disappointment if they don't make the World Series. With
the historic seasons they are getting from Aaron Judge and
Juan Soto the Yankees, or with the historic season they're
getting from Shohe Otani the Dodgers, Which one would be
a bigger disappointment in the eyes of the great baseball media.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Well, I think that's a huge disappointment in both places
that people look at. The Los Angeles has laid back,
and I don't I'm not so sure. You have to
smoke a lot of doobies to be laid back time. Yeah,
I gotta throw one of the Petros there. I mean,
they take their game seriously. I mean, you know, so
I I this is not as easy as you'd think.
(24:52):
But I do think with Soto with a one year deal,
there is a little more pressure on the Yankees just
that you know, it could just the one done for
one Soto, So Yankees probably better win. You know, the
Dodgers who got Otani a long deal. Yeah, Amoto's on
a long deal. They're all there in a long deal.
(25:14):
I'd say there might be a little more pressure on
the Yankees, but I'm not running that off as a
New Yorker saying LA is laid back and all this.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
They're not.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
It's not laid back. They want to win in La
just as bad as they want to win in New York.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, they do. You smoke too many dubies with that
kind of pressure, you start to get anxious, paranoid exactly.
We love the great John Hayman. There's nobody better. Check
them out in the New York Post and of course
MLB Network this time of year, an essential follow all
over the world of media. Thank you, John, and have
a wonderful fall. We'll talk to you soon.

the day is British News. Time for PMS, British News,
(28:55):
United Kingdom, English News. It's time for British News. Cheerios,
Sit up straight.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I'll get out.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
This guy's name would have been one hundred and twenty
years old today. Christopher Isherwood a man of letters, an author, playwright,
a screenwriter in a law mixer, a military family. His
father died in World War One. His mom's side very
wealthy Vinters and Brewers. Related to Graham Green, another very
(29:26):
famous British author. Okay involved in literary society and his
teens and then studying in Cambridge. He was going to
be a doctor, but ended up in nineteen thirties Berlin
with his friend, the great author W. H. Auden, where
he became, as Auden said, face to face with his tribe.
(29:48):
He almost immediately started an affair with a young German Man.
He went there for the sexual freedom of nineteen twenties
and thirties.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Everybody knows about that. That's where you went.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
It is true, actually deep sexual freedoms in the cabarets
and the brothels. In fact, the book he wrote, Goodbye
to Berlin, his portlet of portrait of Hitler's Berlin attacks
on Jews, poverty, all kinds of crazy stuff happening, ignored
by the hedonistic light nightlife society, the clubs, the sex,
(30:26):
the cabarets, the brothels. His Berlin novels were combined in
the US and put out as the Berlin Stories as
a Whole nineteen forty five, and those stories inspired the
big hit Cabaret from nineteen sixty six, the big Broadway hit.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Life is a cabaret. I love cabaret. Well, that's what
it's all about. Carrie loves cabaret. It's the family favorite.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Dirty nineteen third Well you think it's a family movie,
but it's about dirty thirties of German abortion and dressing
and homosexuality. Him and his new bile German boyfriend traveled
around looking for a place to settle as two gay men.
During World War two. Of course, they ended up in Hollywood,
(31:15):
not Florida. Hollywood, where he befriended a young Truman Capodi.
It is said that issuer Would is the guy that
inspired the story Breakfast to Tiffany's.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
I could see that that.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Whenever you think we don't have something in common, you
remember that you could see that. He was eventually a
person that settled in Santa Monica with a team named Dawn.
Him and Dawn, his teenage lover thirty years his junior
lived together in Santa Monica until he died at the
age of eighty one. His book, nineteen sixty fourth novel
(31:52):
A Single Man about a day in the life of
a gay Englishman, LA professor and probably his most celebrated
other than the Cab raised him simply, I'm gonna say this,
Matt in closing without Chris Isherwood, is there a gay
libertarian movement? I think no, Well, I think not.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
I think you'd have to ask Jojo Siwa for an
answer to that. She seems to be the author of.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Right down the Street, Right by the Color Shop, that
I just n his.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Friends in that particular world things that have never been
thought of before. So I would cross.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
She's kind of started that thing gay.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Pops, right, so you know she would probably know.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Jimmy Somerville makes the difference about this ish lightly. Yeah,
Well you're a live guy, you know what, also a
gay libertarian.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
No, but Billy Schortz, as a matter of fact, is gay. Well,
you don't know if he's not libertad or not.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
He is.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Uh, he is still living with his male partner.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
But our man down a young beach bum that he
pulled off the Santa Monica beach many years.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I believe, so, I believe much like William F. Schwartz
with a Z saho rtz A puzzler. He has seventy
two today. He created his own major, enigmatology, the academic
study of puzzles. His degree from Indiana University in nineteen
seventy four is in exactly that, and he is the
(33:20):
only known person to hold a degree in enigmatology the
study of puzzles. Of course, he's the crossword editor at
the New York Times since nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
At least he made something out of it. A lot
of these majors they make up these days. You ain't
got no job, no job.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Central Indiana grew up on a farm family raised Arabian horses.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
He loved puzzles, and those ones so well, the most
hardcore camel's cigarettes.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
In eighth grade he wrote a paper puzzles as a profession.
At sixteen, he was working for Dell Publications, sent and
in puzzles from print and being paid.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
I think the Arabian horses would were you strong legs,
but they mostly I've Mercedes.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
That's right, black Mercedes at tinted windows. Be do like
Cooper flag getting paid in high school to do something.
He went to IU. He wrote his thesis on the
history of American puzzles, designed his own curriculum through the
IU Individualized Major Program, got that degree, goes to law school,
earns his jd at UVA. But before he could take
(34:23):
the bar, Penny Press hires him to author and edit
their many puzzle books. He did over one hundred. He
owns over twenty thousand puzzle books and magazines that date
back to fifteen forty five. You'd be surprised to hear
it is in fact the world's largest private library of
puzzle books.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Really.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
He is also the leader and historian of the National
Puzzlers League.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
I'll puzzle you right now.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
He went from Penny Press to become editor at Games Magazine,
did that until ninety one when the Times came for
it made him just their fourth editor. When you edit
the New York Times crossword puzzle, it is such a
well respected position that you hold it for life.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Basically, Yeah, like being a poet laureate in the country.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
There is nowhere for me to go from here. This
is the top and you better be on your game.
That's a good point p because he has been called
out on a few different occasions slipping for not being
on top of his game.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Oh you got to be shop man.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
The majority of the commentary in a negative fashion, surrounding
a couple of the clues and answers that he put
in the New York Times puzzle were of racial slang
concern part of society, to which he pushed back and said, well, one,
I did not know that that term applied as a
(35:46):
derogatory racial term to a certain sect, and that was
not the clue. The clue was what you call a
pitch that strikes a batter, And apparently a certain group
of people were very upset what the answer was. I
think instead of just calling it, you know, sometimes we
say you're on a heater, instead of just saying you
(36:10):
take a bean ball, Well.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Bean balls, if you get hitting the head, that's your bean.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Right, so add he listed it as a you get
hit in the head and it's a bean ball, but
instead of putting bean ball, he called it a bean
a beaner the musical fruit. People were upset. Another answer
was go okay, but it was connected, and again many
(36:35):
people got upset, to which he said.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
It's two words. It's go and it's okay. Is it okay?
I don't think so, Matt. Not for those that fought
in Vietnam.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Uh, he's done a bunch of TV since Shepherdy How
I Met your mother? He's like that, there's two words.
Eh Uh. There was an open letter signed by six
hundred people saying we got to them out.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Well, you know that's we don't like this. Cancel culture.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Man.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
It's like, well, guys, that was in twenty twenty. He's like,
come on, still working at the times. Happy seventy second
William shorts with a Z and a gay man, Yes,
lives with his partner exactly. The personal details were not lengthy,
but the racial concerns in the answers at The New
York Times. Puzzles over the years were.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Twenty twenty four. Racist Tuesday coming on tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
That's why we're both coming in.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
We'll be back.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
We'll walk these halls on a racist Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
You're gonna walk these halls alone. We'll be back with
more great sports talk on seventy LA Sports David Masse
with off night Dodger Talk. Now, Dodgers are on a heater.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
You get hit in the head, well in the head.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Yeah, beat beatn
