now it's time for the final arm fun fact in effects. Yeah,
(02:42):
we're three fun fun facts.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I believe your father was there tickets for the first
Super Bowl in nineteen sixty seven, we're twelve dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I think he was there as a recruit, as a
USC or UCLA recruit. You know UCLA played in the
Collie back then too.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I think so he went gradis others had to pay
twelve bucks. I think they were giving a lot of
tickets away. Well, thirty three thousand seats went unsold. That
is how the Super Bowl started. Thirty three thousand empty seats,
twelve bucks a pop, nineteen sixty seven coliseum.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
That's what they're gonna say about that. NASCAR event at
the Collie. You know they're gonna be like out, Yeah,
they're gonna be like remember that first one and now
looking at it now, now LA's out. La is totally
out doing something else. LA was out doing something else?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Do you like? Lenny? Mary's not really what?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Top five? Hang? All right, it's time for quickets, some quickets.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Oh yeah, Dodgers are eighty four and fifty six. They
are off tonight. They start a six game home stand
around night stop three games series versus the Guardians. We've
been giving tickets away. That's how cool we are. Eighty
win team. Those Guardians.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, they're damn good.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
First place in the Al Central and they're guarding Ohio
as we speak. Used to be Ryan Daves Beard. Now
it's the Guardians with that great record.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh you know because of the Bridge. You know what's
name of the Guardians after the Bridge? I'm sorry, Voto,
is that?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I still call them the Indians?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Thank you, sir?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Show up Tony fifty to fifty watch Jay. My name
is Joe hal Tony.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Tony watch.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Forty five stolen bases and forty four home runs tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Hey man, you think he's gonna get there. I think
he's gonna get to fifty fifty p huh, you think
he can get four more stolen?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I think he's gonna sweep with the fences and run
till his legs well off to get it.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
And it's gonna be something. When are we out their
Kate's when we are we gonna be there to see it,
to witness it with our own two Dodgers dot com
buy some tickets.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Oh so, bitch, I'll be damned Well tonight we got
a ticket for you on the radio to Chiefs in Raymond.
Three things Thursday coming up next kickoff at five point fifteen.
Chiefs are a three point favorite, and tomorrow night, despite
rumors that Aaron Rodgers and the Jets are there, it
is Packer's Eagles.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Now I don't I still don't believe this has been settled.
Are we sure it's the Eagles?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Well, I think there'd be a lot more like Aaron
Rodgers in Brazil talk you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yes, there probably would, but that's you can only get
that here instead of like you can only get that
here on this hurts.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Hurts is in Brazil. The Eagles are at two and
a half point favorite. It's Packers Eagles, two teams that
wear green.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
And I still can't decide whether or not it's okay
to wear green.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
We don't know, right.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
All I know is Milwaukee had like forty people murdered
a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I'd still rather be in Milwaukee overnight. I'm with you.
Chargers kick off the season on Sunday. I could visit
Doug Gottlieb. But it's Green Bay, Wisconsin. Oh yeah, basketball.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Team summer fast and go to the fonn statue that
David likes to. David likes to visit every time he goes.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
When the Brewers, it's a blue collar tone and it sucks.
The Chargers will kick off the season at home versus
the Raiders. We got tickets for that. The Chargers are
a three point home favorite. Matt's going to talk about
it the next segment a little bit. We'll do more tomorrow.
Justin Herbert is ready to put last year behind him
and he's excited about the new season under coach Jim Harbaugh.
(06:35):
Believe it or not, I think it's a great opportunity.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You know's that's what's so fun about football is to
go out there and make something happen. And we know
how last year went, and we're well aware of where
we went and you know how we got here. But
we've got to learn from it. You got to move
on and you got to get attack this next year,
and you got to know that you got the confidence.
You put in the work and you do everything you
can during the week, So you go out there on
Sunday and you play fast, you play free, and you know,
(06:58):
I think coach Haarbo has done a job of communicating
that with everyone and just going out to practice and
seeing that, seeing guys fly around has definitely been a
lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
More on that in a moment.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Hold on, let me run through this wall real quick.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I know you're inspired, Matt, but you're gonna have to
hold your horse. I'm gonna run through this wall. I know,
I know, but please don't try. There might be a
stun in there, that's true. The Washington Commanders have fired
their VP of content one day after a video service
where he made comments about the players being anti gay
in football, accused Cowboys owner Jerry Jones of being racist
(07:33):
what and called Commissioner Roger Goodell a fifty million dollar puppet.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, this is when you dig a little deeper on
this one. This guy is really one of the true idiots.
He met some chick on its loose lips at the
table Matt, and turns out she was nothing more than
a media plant that was recording their conversations. And he's
just spilling his us about all the crap that goes
(08:02):
on in football, in his opinion, and she then posts it,
makes it public and he is immediately fired.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
None of that stuff is true.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Now, are you?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Are you not a word, not a word of that?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Are you not willing because of your beef with Kelly?
Are you not willing to have Tim Kates play the
sound bite that he curated of Matthew Stafford because of
your issue with Kelly Stafford, like her calling you names.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Like Kelly Stafford? Uh doesn't like me?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Is that yeah? Is that why we're skipping over the
Matthew Stafford sound bite that Kate shared with us, because
of your beef with Kelly and her beef with you.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
No, I'm sorry, Matt. If you want to talk about
Matt Stafford, we can see them start and you.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Call him Matt just do upsetter just to infuriate her.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
That's my fault. It's not my fault. Matt Stafford talked
to the media in Smoking Hot Woodland.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I just wanted that to be read.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
But luckily hire Man, Hey and Kelly have that special
bad where one side is hot and the other side
is cold. Like the Stafford's ready to start the season too. Man,
you might not want to run through the wall here,
but maybe, like you know, go on a slipping slide.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I love to compete, you know, it's so much fun
to have an opponent to dial in on, to spend
a week preparing for and and to try to get
a plan together that everybody feels laser sharp on. And
I can try to help lead the way from the
guys that are on the field and try to get
us in, you know, into the right place and let
us go cut it loose. I mean, that's what it's about.
(09:38):
You know. You spend all week, uh you know, preparing
night and day trying to figure out, Hey, get yourself
ready to go, physically, get the team ready to go, mentally,
get the offense operated at a high level, and then
you go cut it loose and let the chips fall over.
They may sometimes it works out for you. Sometimes it doesn't,
but I love that opportunity.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Good stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
What huh that wasn't iron at all.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Well, you're certainly not going to be inspired by the
fact that UCLA has a bye this week. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I kind of am actually, don't talk about me and
I beat you. It means we're gonna have more pressers.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
It's gonna be bad. USC is coming off a big
win over LSU on Sunday. They host Utah State Saturday
Night at the coliseum. There are two editions being added
to the peristyle land of the Colisseum, number thirteen and
number five. Caleb Williams and Reggie Bush, both Heisman Trophy winners,
both having their numbers retired. Eight numbers are on display
(10:36):
at the coliseum.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I didn't know Reggie won the Heisman. I don't never
remember seeing them carry it around or being any part
of those Heisman house commercials. When did that happen?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I already left it in a bathroom stall at the airport.
They turned around and got it.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Florida State's marching band, known as the Marching Chiefs, did
not play the school's iconic third down war chant Monday night.
In the twenty eight to thirteen home loss to BC
and will not be playing it moving forward in other
home games. You see, got something to do with that.
(11:14):
They announced this on social media.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
The war chant, which you hear during the whole game
no matter what. Anyway, it has been a staple of
Seminoles football for decades and provided plenty of intimidating environments
for opposing teams. I can speak to that entering dope
Campbell Stadium over the years. But on third down against
Boston College they played music from the club. Is this working?
(11:43):
Is this intimidating you?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Third down?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Wait until we dropped the fat on you.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Third down?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Wait till the base.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Drop third down? Their third down? Third down?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Go down? How we gonna do this, guys, I've intimidated
third down?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Third down?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I guess that's they still play the war chant, but
just not on third down.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I guess third down, third down.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Listen, we don't want to be racist on third down.
We're good with all the other dow.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Whoa third down?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
All right, We'll be back with more great sports talk.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Oking hot Woodland Hills.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
That chose in money, Hot half by seventy l A
Sports continues from Smoking Hot l A, Smoking Hawk and
we'll be right back with three Things Thursday NFL football
coming up tonight. We still got tickets to give away.
Thanks everybody for listening. It's a crunchy groove and Thursday

tickets to the Chargers Raiders game Sunday and are back.
(13:36):
It's so fine, dog, George. I don't know what the
ratio will be, but whatever you are, you will add
to it in one way or the other or the other.
Dogs eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy
is the number eight six six nine eighty seven two
five seventy. Let's say caller number eleven for Vince Even's
(13:59):
caller number eleven eight six six nine eighty seven two seventy.
Dodgers Despruton, elhuego. Enjoy the game. And right now it
is time for three Things Thursday one one.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Three things, Well, we start with the obvious, the obvious
being me making a pick for Thursday night football tonight.
After wrapping up last season, somewhere I'd say between thirty
(14:37):
and forty games under five hundred had a complete collapse
toward the end of the season after a hell of
a rally around weeks twelve through fifteen.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Oh, I just felt like, hey, if that if weeks
twelve through fifteen had another quarter, right, ain't no telling
what could.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I ain't no telling how much we could have won.
I can't withhold this sort of insight, this sort of intellect,
this level of analysis, this ability to break down a
game to its core, to its foundation, in order to
share a money making opportunity with each and every one
of our listeners right now and hopefully the podcasters that
get to it in the next forty five minutes before kickoff,
(15:14):
maybe an hour, because you'll have the banner presentation. We
start with the facts, straightforward presentation of what will be
on that field tonight, one raining MVP versus I guess
it wouldn't be a fact, but it would be darn
near unanimously agreed upon position versus the best player in
(15:35):
football and someone who could very well, if his career
continues on this track, go down as the greatest player
in the history of the game as they open the
season against one another on a field where they will
be raising a banner celebrating back to back Super Bowl
championships into the loudest and most raucous atmosphere the NFL
(15:56):
has to.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Offer, Oh Chiefs Kingdom.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Each team is thought to be a juggernaut on one
side of the ball. The Chiefs on offense because of
Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, the Ravens on defense because
of the legacy left behind by Ray Lewis Bart, Scott
at Reid, countless others, and there is no denying the
Ravens are regularly solid to spectacular on that side of
the ball. It is hard to ignore year in and
(16:20):
year out that they are typically the most dominant run
stopping team and most dominant running team in the NFL.
And because of that defense, when we ignore that, they've
got a quarterback that has won a pair of MVPs
in the last half decade. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes purely pedestrian
for over half the regular season last year, and the
(16:43):
Chiefs were completely carried by their defense through a healthy
stretch of the regular season and most definitely in the playoffs,
particularly in the last meeting between these two teams.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
That's why it's a football team exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
It's not an offense. It's not Patrick Mahomes and Andy
Reid and some freaking laminated card. It's a team. The
Chiefs only rushed for eighty nine yards on two point
eight yards per carrying the AFC Championship.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Patrick Mahomes, I can't believe they've recovered from losing Eric
the enemy as in place.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Well, you saw what you did out there in Hawaii.
Patrick Mahomes attempted thirty nine passes in that game for
two hundred and forty one yards under six yards per pass.
They only scored seventeen points, but that chief defense dominant
forced the Ravens into a miserable three of eleven on
(17:35):
third down, forced three turnovers. Had the offense and for
that matter, even their defense, so out of sorts that
the penalties, oh, the egregious, unsightly eight penalties for a
whopping ninety five yards over ten per pop. That was
truly the difference in the game. Now the Ravens, they
(17:57):
were rated this offseason. They lost their defensive coordinators, slash
genius Mike McDonald, now the head coach in Seattle, having
supplanted Pete Carroll. Hey man, I'm still interested in coming out.
You know, do want to turned down anything anybody offers something.
You know, I'm still willing to listen. I feel like
i still got the energy, you know, I still got
the book. I still wonder to just get out there,
be with the guys. Man, be with the guys. Well,
you know, if we got Pete Carroll around here, I'd
(18:17):
be a fool not to invote him up, practice what
he has to offer me. I think it'd be crazy,
you know, to want That's right, Lincoln, Man, I'd love
to get out there, just want to be around everybody.
You know, we'll ride, yeah, ride. Mike McDonald's in Seattle.
Two of his top assistants are now defensive coordinators, but
for the most part, save Patrick Queen, all the players
are coming back. That front is still intact. Rokwan Smith,
(18:37):
the straw that stirred the defensive drink, still in the
middle of the defense. Kyle Hamilton and the conversation as
defensive MVP last year, will still run rough shot all
over the field and at Derwin James style. They lost
a little bit on the interior of their line but
the Ravens always do a heck of a job, bang
up job, Ravens developing offensive line talent, and besides, those
guys are typically pushing forward, not dropping back, and that
(18:59):
certainly will be the after signing Derrick Henry in free agency,
who even last year on a struggling Titan squad, did
not appear to lose a step and it was one
of the best rushers in the league. Meanwhile, Chiefs have
a rookie offensive left tackle a right tackle that seriously
struggled last year in Juwan Taylor. They have revamped their
(19:19):
wide receiver corps, a truly disappointing unit last season with
Hollywood Brown. He's injured, he will not play.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Don't ask Jerry Rice about that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Noe Xavier Worthy, who posted I don't know if you
saw the fastest forty yard dash in Combine history and
looked really good against press coverage in the preseason, did
not look like that was an issue at all. I
would assume Andy Reid will come up with creative ways
to make sure that he does not get knocked over
and launched into the air. Now that said, it is
not Tyreek Hill out there that is freaking a defensive
(19:50):
coordinator out keeping him up all night all week.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I almost I thought about it.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
There's one thing leading me to pause and have a
slight hesitation in taking the three points in the Ravens,
and it is that Chiefs defense. Yes, they lose Lugerius
sneed their best press man corner, but Trent McDuffie is
as good as it gets when it comes to young players.
It's not even really that young anymore. It's just a
hell of a corner. He has taken over that outside
(20:20):
corner spot. I don't expect them to lose much there.
The front seven is still one of the best in football.
And as we have mentioned before, because it is a
relatable for me, Steve Spagnola should be a head coach
in this league, but his diminutive stature is an impediment
to him having an opportunity.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah, you'd be Pat McAfee, Matt if you were six
inches tall, are you no doubt?
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Like?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
It wouldn't even be close. But alast genetics are such
and I was dealt.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
This particular end. It didn't it wasn't a problem for
Hank Stram. I don't see right.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Historically speaking, Lamar Jackson incredible as an underdog. Twelve one
and one against the spread as an underdog, ten and
four outright as an underdog. That is pretty damn convincing.
Reigning Super Bowl champions are zero and three against the
(21:13):
number opening week the last three seasons. That zero and three.
Of course, part of that the Chiefs lost of the
Lions Week one last year. Kadarius Tony interception game wasn't
Patrick Scari's Tony Patrick was fine in that game. I
am inclined. I was inclined to merely take the under
and figure this looks a lot like the AFC Championship
(21:35):
that does not sniff forty seven points, but that would
be a cop out. We're starting the season, and we're
starting the season with a jackknife into the deep end.
I'm gonna take both. I'm gonna really put myself out there, man,
Just do it.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Get think outside the box right again?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Where the hell is local news?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
You're an artist?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
How is this not being covered. I'm gonna take the points.
I'm gonna take the Ravens plus three and I'm gonna
take the under. I'm gonna take them both, Ravens plus three,
kim me the under and let's see if we can
head to Brazil tomorrow with two wins in our pocket.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Well, good luck to you, Matt, Thank you. It was
I think it was really beneficial for the listeners to
take them through the thought process, including a conversation between
Lake and Riley and Pete Carroll.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Again, I do not come upon these decisions lightly. No,
there's a lot that goes into this second thing. And
we will preview Chargers Raiders tomorrow. We will also dig
into Rams Lions as we get ready for Week one,
for each of the teams that the locals tend to
pay the closest attention to. But I will share this
(22:50):
one little nugget in my Charger Bias Moment of Positivity presentation.
Ben Herbert, the director of stre and Conditioning, was a
bit of a star, Yes, my favorite, the media's favorite
this offseason for the Chargers of the Michigan fans celebrated
the hell out of him for changing the culture, being
an integral part to the Wolverines knocking off the Buckeyes,
(23:12):
finally getting over that hump, forcing Ryan Day to shave
his beard, putting him on the hot seat, and Michigan
into a National championship game, and then a National Championship itself.
His personality fit with the Los Angeles media did a
bunch of interviews. One of his mantras was, he is
responsible for making players harder to break. It's my job
(23:33):
to make those guys harder to break. And after a
smattering of concerns throughout the preseason, Joey Bosa in a cast,
Justin Herbert in a walking boot. As we now have
an injury report for the first time, it suggests that
whatever it is that Ben Herbert is selling, at the
very least it is viable in Week one. But three
(23:53):
names on there, Justin Herbert because of the walking boot
listed as a full participant, rookie fifth round pick, third
on the depth chart, nickelback Tarheeb still limited hip and
free agent wide receiver DJ Shark is the only one
of serious concern a did not practice hip, so perhaps
as he is the only one of fifty three players
(24:15):
that will not be available as it stands right now
for Sunday, the goal of the preseason is to make
it to Week one healthy. It appears as though media
star and everybody's favorite strength and conditioning coach across the land,
Ben Herbert and the Chargers have been able to make
this team at least through OTAs, through training camp, and
(24:40):
through three preseason games. Harder to break grueling, preseasonrueling. Let's
just play so many snaps, it's just crazy. Finally we
focus on the Chiefs again. Not only well with two things,
one of which you've already talked about. Taylor Swift will
be press and tonight, with all of her other obligations,
(25:04):
she will in fact be present tonight at the game.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, he's all the right question.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Some people pointed out that in the official NFL Kickoff
video where they do a montage of a bunch of
players and a bunch of signature plays, coaches moments, that
the reigning NFL MVP, Lamar Jackson appeared once for approximately
(25:31):
one tenth of a second, and Taylor Swift, a fan
a player's girlfriend, appeared five times. It's not an exaggeration.
Taylor Swift in the official NFL Kickoff video available on
(25:51):
the NFL social media channels, their website and running as
a television commercial all over Sports TV. Lamar Jackson in
the AFC Championship, two time NFL MVP, and the ragning
MVP one appearance one tenth of a second, Taylor Swift five.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Well, he does have devastating good looks. He does, That's
what I'm saying, And you know you kind of don't
want to that to eclipse, you know, play again tonight.
They are not looking for twenty seven million viewers. Pee,
they need the thirty three They need to get to

(26:28):
We have NFL Football, but before that, we'll do the
Dead and a Live Guy Birthday of the Day next. Well,
the giveaways have been multifold. It's been a wonderful day
and great sports talk. We've been on since two Great
sports Talk. Welcome everybody. Thursday Night football is going to
(26:50):
be next kickoff at five fifteen right here on AM
five seventy. Ravens at Chiefs. All right, Matt, why don't
you take that into the Dead Guy Birthday of the Day.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, this is we do these. I think quite a bit.
I love the nine old Men guys. Today we celebrate
the last one living. He passed away in two thousand
and four. Happy would have been one hundred twelve to
Frank Thomas, who, along with Woolley Reiterman, John Lounsbury, Eric Larson,
Ward Kimball, Milt call, Oli Johnson, Mark Davison, Les Clark
(27:26):
made Disney well Disney, the animators that drew and directed
all of the classics that to this day remain relevant,
treasured by families gathered around the television take in some good, wholesome,
innocent entertainment. Uh Frank born in Santa Monica, raised in Fresno.
His father was a teacher. He went to Stanford, worked
(27:48):
at the Stanford campus magazine, The Stanford Chaparral with Oli Johnson,
who would be another of the Nine Old Men.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
So many hot Hicks work at the Stanford newspaper. Oh
like it the West Beverly, you know, like Brandon Walsh
and Andrea. That's where you go to me hot check
with the glasses.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
He was hired by Walt Disney in nineteen thirty four,
having just turned twenty two. He was employee number two
hundred and twenty four. Started in shorts Brave Little Taylor.
He drew Mickey Mouse and the King. He drew Mickey
Mouse again with a Bear in the Pointer, and then
World War Two Rolls Around. His hands drew some of
(28:29):
the most memorable and iconic scenes in Disney history. You're
listening to this one right here, King louis doing. I
want to be like you did that. He did the
Seven Dwarfs crying over snow, Whites thought to be dead body,
Pinocchio singing at the Marionette Theater, Bamby and Thumper on
the ice, Lady in the Tramp eating spaghetti, the Wizard's Duel,
(28:49):
which I believe featured wizard's sleeves between Merlin and Madame
mim and the sword in the film.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
A lot of them. I enjoyed the Start of the Star.
That's a forgotten Disney.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It is, and it's a good one, little intense sort
of the stuff. He did the Dancing Penguins and Mary Poppins.
He was also the directing animator for a number of films,
particularly Memorable Villains, Evil Stepmother, Lady Tremaine and Cinderella, The
Queen of Hearts, and Allis in Wonderland, Captain Hook and Peter.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Pan Come On.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
He retired from Disney in seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
A more innocent time, Matt, You know, I want to
know what the Disney cartoons are like now.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Co author to the comprehensive book Disney Animation, The Illusion
of Life, first published in nineteen eighty one, immediately regarded
as the definitive resource book on traditional hand drawn character animation.
It has been republished countless times. It is considered the
animation Bible amongst character animators, as it walks you through
(29:50):
what are known as the twelve Basic Principles of animation.
If you're interested in learning more, there is a documentary
award winning documentary that came out in nineteen ninety five
called Frank and Ali about their careers, about the Nine
Old Men, about their private lives, their personal friendship. They
would go on to voice characters in Disney films, kind
of like a cameo. Those two were the leaders of
the Nine Old Men, so they would voice, you know,
(30:12):
just kind of tiny little moments and the Incredibles and
the Iron Giant things like that. He was married. One
son died in nineteen ninety two in Lackaniatta Franktons.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Who locked Canada?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (30:23):
It was one of those two North Bill Plascu types.

Ah, I locked him.

(02:42):
we're three fun fun facts.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I believe your father was there tickets for the first
Super Bowl in nineteen sixty seven, we're twelve dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I think he was there as a recruit, as a
USC or UCLA recruit. You know UCLA played in the
Collie back then too.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I think so he went gradis others had to pay
twelve bucks. I think they were giving a lot of
tickets away. Well, thirty three thousand seats went unsold. That
is how the Super Bowl started. Thirty three thousand empty seats,
twelve bucks a pop, nineteen sixty seven coliseum.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
That's what they're gonna say about that. NASCAR event at
the Collie. You know they're gonna be like out, Yeah,
they're gonna be like remember that first one and now
looking at it now, now LA's out. La is totally
out doing something else. LA was out doing something else?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Do you like? Lenny? Mary's not really what?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Top five? Hang? All right, it's time for quickets, some quickets.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Oh yeah, Dodgers are eighty four and fifty six. They
are off tonight. They start a six game home stand
around night stop three games series versus the Guardians. We've
been giving tickets away. That's how cool we are. Eighty
win team. Those Guardians.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, they're damn good.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
First place in the Al Central and they're guarding Ohio
as we speak. Used to be Ryan Daves Beard. Now
it's the Guardians with that great record.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh you know because of the Bridge. You know what's
name of the Guardians after the Bridge? I'm sorry, Voto,
is that?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I still call them the Indians?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Thank you, sir?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Show up Tony fifty to fifty watch Jay. My name
is Joe hal Tony.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Tony watch.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Forty five stolen bases and forty four home runs tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Hey man, you think he's gonna get there. I think
he's gonna get to fifty fifty p huh, you think
he can get four more stolen?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I think he's gonna sweep with the fences and run
till his legs well off to get it.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
And it's gonna be something. When are we out their
Kate's when we are we gonna be there to see it,
to witness it with our own two Dodgers dot com
buy some tickets.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Oh so, bitch, I'll be damned Well tonight we got
a ticket for you on the radio to Chiefs in Raymond.
Three things Thursday coming up next kickoff at five point fifteen.
Chiefs are a three point favorite, and tomorrow night, despite
rumors that Aaron Rodgers and the Jets are there, it
is Packer's Eagles.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Now I don't I still don't believe this has been settled.
Are we sure it's the Eagles?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Well, I think there'd be a lot more like Aaron
Rodgers in Brazil talk you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yes, there probably would, but that's you can only get
that here instead of like you can only get that
here on this hurts.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Hurts is in Brazil. The Eagles are at two and
a half point favorite. It's Packers Eagles, two teams that
wear green.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
And I still can't decide whether or not it's okay
to wear green.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
We don't know, right.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
All I know is Milwaukee had like forty people murdered
a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I'd still rather be in Milwaukee overnight. I'm with you.
Chargers kick off the season on Sunday. I could visit
Doug Gottlieb. But it's Green Bay, Wisconsin. Oh yeah, basketball.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Team summer fast and go to the fonn statue that
David likes to. David likes to visit every time he goes.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
When the Brewers, it's a blue collar tone and it sucks.
The Chargers will kick off the season at home versus
the Raiders. We got tickets for that. The Chargers are
a three point home favorite. Matt's going to talk about
it the next segment a little bit. We'll do more tomorrow.
Justin Herbert is ready to put last year behind him
and he's excited about the new season under coach Jim Harbaugh.
(06:35):
Believe it or not, I think it's a great opportunity.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You know's that's what's so fun about football is to
go out there and make something happen. And we know
how last year went, and we're well aware of where
we went and you know how we got here. But
we've got to learn from it. You got to move
on and you got to get attack this next year,
and you got to know that you got the confidence.
You put in the work and you do everything you
can during the week, So you go out there on
Sunday and you play fast, you play free, and you know,
(06:58):
I think coach Haarbo has done a job of communicating
that with everyone and just going out to practice and
seeing that, seeing guys fly around has definitely been a
lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
More on that in a moment.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Hold on, let me run through this wall real quick.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I know you're inspired, Matt, but you're gonna have to
hold your horse. I'm gonna run through this wall. I know,
I know, but please don't try. There might be a
stun in there, that's true. The Washington Commanders have fired
their VP of content one day after a video service
where he made comments about the players being anti gay
in football, accused Cowboys owner Jerry Jones of being racist
(07:33):
what and called Commissioner Roger Goodell a fifty million dollar puppet.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, this is when you dig a little deeper on
this one. This guy is really one of the true idiots.
He met some chick on its loose lips at the
table Matt, and turns out she was nothing more than
a media plant that was recording their conversations. And he's
just spilling his us about all the crap that goes
(08:02):
on in football, in his opinion, and she then posts it,
makes it public and he is immediately fired.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
None of that stuff is true.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Now, are you?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Are you not a word, not a word of that?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Are you not willing because of your beef with Kelly?
Are you not willing to have Tim Kates play the
sound bite that he curated of Matthew Stafford because of
your issue with Kelly Stafford, like her calling you names.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Like Kelly Stafford? Uh doesn't like me?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Is that yeah? Is that why we're skipping over the
Matthew Stafford sound bite that Kate shared with us, because
of your beef with Kelly and her beef with you.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
No, I'm sorry, Matt. If you want to talk about
Matt Stafford, we can see them start and you.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Call him Matt just do upsetter just to infuriate her.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
That's my fault. It's not my fault. Matt Stafford talked
to the media in Smoking Hot Woodland.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I just wanted that to be read.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
But luckily hire Man, Hey and Kelly have that special
bad where one side is hot and the other side
is cold. Like the Stafford's ready to start the season too. Man,
you might not want to run through the wall here,
but maybe, like you know, go on a slipping slide.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I love to compete, you know, it's so much fun
to have an opponent to dial in on, to spend
a week preparing for and and to try to get
a plan together that everybody feels laser sharp on. And
I can try to help lead the way from the
guys that are on the field and try to get
us in, you know, into the right place and let
us go cut it loose. I mean, that's what it's about.
(09:38):
You know. You spend all week, uh you know, preparing
night and day trying to figure out, Hey, get yourself
ready to go, physically, get the team ready to go, mentally,
get the offense operated at a high level, and then
you go cut it loose and let the chips fall over.
They may sometimes it works out for you. Sometimes it doesn't,
but I love that opportunity.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Good stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
What huh that wasn't iron at all.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Well, you're certainly not going to be inspired by the
fact that UCLA has a bye this week. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I kind of am actually, don't talk about me and
I beat you. It means we're gonna have more pressers.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
It's gonna be bad. USC is coming off a big
win over LSU on Sunday. They host Utah State Saturday
Night at the coliseum. There are two editions being added
to the peristyle land of the Colisseum, number thirteen and
number five. Caleb Williams and Reggie Bush, both Heisman Trophy winners,
both having their numbers retired. Eight numbers are on display
(10:36):
at the coliseum.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I didn't know Reggie won the Heisman. I don't never
remember seeing them carry it around or being any part
of those Heisman house commercials. When did that happen?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I already left it in a bathroom stall at the airport.
They turned around and got it.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Florida State's marching band, known as the Marching Chiefs, did
not play the school's iconic third down war chant Monday night.
In the twenty eight to thirteen home loss to BC
and will not be playing it moving forward in other
home games. You see, got something to do with that.
(11:14):
They announced this on social media.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
The war chant, which you hear during the whole game
no matter what. Anyway, it has been a staple of
Seminoles football for decades and provided plenty of intimidating environments
for opposing teams. I can speak to that entering dope
Campbell Stadium over the years. But on third down against
Boston College they played music from the club. Is this working?
(11:43):
Is this intimidating you?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Third down?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Wait until we dropped the fat on you.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Third down?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Wait till the base.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Drop third down? Their third down? Third down?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Go down? How we gonna do this, guys, I've intimidated
third down?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Third down?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I guess that's they still play the war chant, but
just not on third down.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I guess third down, third down.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Listen, we don't want to be racist on third down.
We're good with all the other dow.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Whoa third down?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
All right, We'll be back with more great sports talk.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Oking hot Woodland Hills.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
That chose in money, Hot half by seventy l A
Sports continues from Smoking Hot l A, Smoking Hawk and
we'll be right back with three Things Thursday NFL football
coming up tonight. We still got tickets to give away.

(13:36):
It's so fine, dog, George. I don't know what the
ratio will be, but whatever you are, you will add
to it in one way or the other or the other.
Dogs eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy
is the number eight six six nine eighty seven two
five seventy. Let's say caller number eleven for Vince Even's
(13:59):
caller number eleven eight six six nine eighty seven two seventy.
Dodgers Despruton, elhuego. Enjoy the game. And right now it
is time for three Things Thursday one one.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Three things, Well, we start with the obvious, the obvious
being me making a pick for Thursday night football tonight.
After wrapping up last season, somewhere I'd say between thirty
(14:37):
and forty games under five hundred had a complete collapse
toward the end of the season after a hell of
a rally around weeks twelve through fifteen.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Oh, I just felt like, hey, if that if weeks
twelve through fifteen had another quarter, right, ain't no telling
what could.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I ain't no telling how much we could have won.
I can't withhold this sort of insight, this sort of intellect,
this level of analysis, this ability to break down a
game to its core, to its foundation, in order to
share a money making opportunity with each and every one
of our listeners right now and hopefully the podcasters that
get to it in the next forty five minutes before kickoff,
(15:14):
maybe an hour, because you'll have the banner presentation. We
start with the facts, straightforward presentation of what will be
on that field tonight, one raining MVP versus I guess
it wouldn't be a fact, but it would be darn
near unanimously agreed upon position versus the best player in
(15:35):
football and someone who could very well, if his career
continues on this track, go down as the greatest player
in the history of the game as they open the
season against one another on a field where they will
be raising a banner celebrating back to back Super Bowl
championships into the loudest and most raucous atmosphere the NFL
(15:56):
has to.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Offer, Oh Chiefs Kingdom.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Each team is thought to be a juggernaut on one
side of the ball. The Chiefs on offense because of
Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, the Ravens on defense because
of the legacy left behind by Ray Lewis Bart, Scott
at Reid, countless others, and there is no denying the
Ravens are regularly solid to spectacular on that side of
the ball. It is hard to ignore year in and
(16:20):
year out that they are typically the most dominant run
stopping team and most dominant running team in the NFL.
And because of that defense, when we ignore that, they've
got a quarterback that has won a pair of MVPs
in the last half decade. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes purely pedestrian
for over half the regular season last year, and the
(16:43):
Chiefs were completely carried by their defense through a healthy
stretch of the regular season and most definitely in the playoffs,
particularly in the last meeting between these two teams.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
That's why it's a football team exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
It's not an offense. It's not Patrick Mahomes and Andy
Reid and some freaking laminated card. It's a team. The
Chiefs only rushed for eighty nine yards on two point
eight yards per carrying the AFC Championship.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Patrick Mahomes, I can't believe they've recovered from losing Eric
the enemy as in place.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Well, you saw what you did out there in Hawaii.
Patrick Mahomes attempted thirty nine passes in that game for
two hundred and forty one yards under six yards per pass.
They only scored seventeen points, but that chief defense dominant
forced the Ravens into a miserable three of eleven on
(17:35):
third down, forced three turnovers. Had the offense and for
that matter, even their defense, so out of sorts that
the penalties, oh, the egregious, unsightly eight penalties for a
whopping ninety five yards over ten per pop. That was
truly the difference in the game. Now the Ravens, they
(17:57):
were rated this offseason. They lost their defensive coordinators, slash
genius Mike McDonald, now the head coach in Seattle, having
supplanted Pete Carroll. Hey man, I'm still interested in coming out.
You know, do want to turned down anything anybody offers something.
You know, I'm still willing to listen. I feel like
i still got the energy, you know, I still got
the book. I still wonder to just get out there,
be with the guys. Man, be with the guys. Well,
you know, if we got Pete Carroll around here, I'd
(18:17):
be a fool not to invote him up, practice what
he has to offer me. I think it'd be crazy,
you know, to want That's right, Lincoln, Man, I'd love
to get out there, just want to be around everybody.
You know, we'll ride, yeah, ride. Mike McDonald's in Seattle.
Two of his top assistants are now defensive coordinators, but
for the most part, save Patrick Queen, all the players
are coming back. That front is still intact. Rokwan Smith,
(18:37):
the straw that stirred the defensive drink, still in the
middle of the defense. Kyle Hamilton and the conversation as
defensive MVP last year, will still run rough shot all
over the field and at Derwin James style. They lost
a little bit on the interior of their line but
the Ravens always do a heck of a job, bang
up job, Ravens developing offensive line talent, and besides, those
guys are typically pushing forward, not dropping back, and that
(18:59):
certainly will be the after signing Derrick Henry in free agency,
who even last year on a struggling Titan squad, did
not appear to lose a step and it was one
of the best rushers in the league. Meanwhile, Chiefs have
a rookie offensive left tackle a right tackle that seriously
struggled last year in Juwan Taylor. They have revamped their
(19:19):
wide receiver corps, a truly disappointing unit last season with
Hollywood Brown. He's injured, he will not play.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Don't ask Jerry Rice about that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Noe Xavier Worthy, who posted I don't know if you
saw the fastest forty yard dash in Combine history and
looked really good against press coverage in the preseason, did
not look like that was an issue at all. I
would assume Andy Reid will come up with creative ways
to make sure that he does not get knocked over
and launched into the air. Now that said, it is
not Tyreek Hill out there that is freaking a defensive
(19:50):
coordinator out keeping him up all night all week.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I almost I thought about it.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
There's one thing leading me to pause and have a
slight hesitation in taking the three points in the Ravens,
and it is that Chiefs defense. Yes, they lose Lugerius
sneed their best press man corner, but Trent McDuffie is
as good as it gets when it comes to young players.
It's not even really that young anymore. It's just a
hell of a corner. He has taken over that outside
(20:20):
corner spot. I don't expect them to lose much there.
The front seven is still one of the best in football.
And as we have mentioned before, because it is a
relatable for me, Steve Spagnola should be a head coach
in this league, but his diminutive stature is an impediment
to him having an opportunity.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah, you'd be Pat McAfee, Matt if you were six
inches tall, are you no doubt?
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Like?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
It wouldn't even be close. But alast genetics are such
and I was dealt.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
This particular end. It didn't it wasn't a problem for
Hank Stram. I don't see right.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Historically speaking, Lamar Jackson incredible as an underdog. Twelve one
and one against the spread as an underdog, ten and
four outright as an underdog. That is pretty damn convincing.
Reigning Super Bowl champions are zero and three against the
(21:13):
number opening week the last three seasons. That zero and three.
Of course, part of that the Chiefs lost of the
Lions Week one last year. Kadarius Tony interception game wasn't
Patrick Scari's Tony Patrick was fine in that game. I
am inclined. I was inclined to merely take the under
and figure this looks a lot like the AFC Championship
(21:35):
that does not sniff forty seven points, but that would
be a cop out. We're starting the season, and we're
starting the season with a jackknife into the deep end.
I'm gonna take both. I'm gonna really put myself out there, man,
Just do it.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Get think outside the box right again?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Where the hell is local news?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
You're an artist?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
How is this not being covered. I'm gonna take the points.
I'm gonna take the Ravens plus three and I'm gonna
take the under. I'm gonna take them both, Ravens plus three,
kim me the under and let's see if we can
head to Brazil tomorrow with two wins in our pocket.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Well, good luck to you, Matt, Thank you. It was
I think it was really beneficial for the listeners to
take them through the thought process, including a conversation between
Lake and Riley and Pete Carroll.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Again, I do not come upon these decisions lightly. No,
there's a lot that goes into this second thing. And
we will preview Chargers Raiders tomorrow. We will also dig
into Rams Lions as we get ready for Week one,
for each of the teams that the locals tend to
pay the closest attention to. But I will share this
(22:50):
one little nugget in my Charger Bias Moment of Positivity presentation.
Ben Herbert, the director of stre and Conditioning, was a
bit of a star, Yes, my favorite, the media's favorite
this offseason for the Chargers of the Michigan fans celebrated
the hell out of him for changing the culture, being
an integral part to the Wolverines knocking off the Buckeyes,
(23:12):
finally getting over that hump, forcing Ryan Day to shave
his beard, putting him on the hot seat, and Michigan
into a National championship game, and then a National Championship itself.
His personality fit with the Los Angeles media did a
bunch of interviews. One of his mantras was, he is
responsible for making players harder to break. It's my job
(23:33):
to make those guys harder to break. And after a
smattering of concerns throughout the preseason, Joey Bosa in a cast,
Justin Herbert in a walking boot. As we now have
an injury report for the first time, it suggests that
whatever it is that Ben Herbert is selling, at the
very least it is viable in Week one. But three
(23:53):
names on there, Justin Herbert because of the walking boot
listed as a full participant, rookie fifth round pick, third
on the depth chart, nickelback Tarheeb still limited hip and
free agent wide receiver DJ Shark is the only one
of serious concern a did not practice hip, so perhaps
as he is the only one of fifty three players
(24:15):
that will not be available as it stands right now
for Sunday, the goal of the preseason is to make
it to Week one healthy. It appears as though media
star and everybody's favorite strength and conditioning coach across the land,
Ben Herbert and the Chargers have been able to make
this team at least through OTAs, through training camp, and
(24:40):
through three preseason games. Harder to break grueling, preseasonrueling. Let's
just play so many snaps, it's just crazy. Finally we
focus on the Chiefs again. Not only well with two things,
one of which you've already talked about. Taylor Swift will
be press and tonight, with all of her other obligations,
(25:04):
she will in fact be present tonight at the game.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, he's all the right question.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Some people pointed out that in the official NFL Kickoff
video where they do a montage of a bunch of
players and a bunch of signature plays, coaches moments, that
the reigning NFL MVP, Lamar Jackson appeared once for approximately
(25:31):
one tenth of a second, and Taylor Swift, a fan
a player's girlfriend, appeared five times. It's not an exaggeration.
Taylor Swift in the official NFL Kickoff video available on
(25:51):
the NFL social media channels, their website and running as
a television commercial all over Sports TV. Lamar Jackson in
the AFC Championship, two time NFL MVP, and the ragning
MVP one appearance one tenth of a second, Taylor Swift five.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Well, he does have devastating good looks. He does, That's
what I'm saying, And you know you kind of don't
want to that to eclipse, you know, play again tonight.
They are not looking for twenty seven million viewers. Pee,
they need the thirty three They need to get to
thirty three million. Well, we'll be back. There's your NFL preview.
(26:28):
We have NFL Football, but before that, we'll do the
Dead and a Live Guy Birthday of the Day next. Well,
the giveaways have been multifold. It's been a wonderful day
and great sports talk. We've been on since two Great
sports Talk. Welcome everybody. Thursday Night football is going to
(26:50):
be next kickoff at five fifteen right here on AM
five seventy. Ravens at Chiefs. All right, Matt, why don't
you take that into the Dead Guy Birthday of the Day.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, this is we do these. I think quite a bit.
I love the nine old Men guys. Today we celebrate
the last one living. He passed away in two thousand
and four. Happy would have been one hundred twelve to
Frank Thomas, who, along with Woolley Reiterman, John Lounsbury, Eric Larson,
Ward Kimball, Milt call, Oli Johnson, Mark Davison, Les Clark
(27:26):
made Disney well Disney, the animators that drew and directed
all of the classics that to this day remain relevant,
treasured by families gathered around the television take in some good, wholesome,
innocent entertainment. Uh Frank born in Santa Monica, raised in Fresno.
His father was a teacher. He went to Stanford, worked
(27:48):
at the Stanford campus magazine, The Stanford Chaparral with Oli Johnson,
who would be another of the Nine Old Men.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
So many hot Hicks work at the Stanford newspaper. Oh
like it the West Beverly, you know, like Brandon Walsh
and Andrea. That's where you go to me hot check
with the glasses.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
He was hired by Walt Disney in nineteen thirty four,
having just turned twenty two. He was employee number two
hundred and twenty four. Started in shorts Brave Little Taylor.
He drew Mickey Mouse and the King. He drew Mickey
Mouse again with a Bear in the Pointer, and then
World War Two Rolls Around. His hands drew some of
(28:29):
the most memorable and iconic scenes in Disney history. You're
listening to this one right here, King louis doing. I
want to be like you did that. He did the
Seven Dwarfs crying over snow, Whites thought to be dead body,
Pinocchio singing at the Marionette Theater, Bamby and Thumper on
the ice, Lady in the Tramp eating spaghetti, the Wizard's Duel,
(28:49):
which I believe featured wizard's sleeves between Merlin and Madame
mim and the sword in the film.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
A lot of them. I enjoyed the Start of the Star.
That's a forgotten Disney.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It is, and it's a good one, little intense sort
of the stuff. He did the Dancing Penguins and Mary Poppins.
He was also the directing animator for a number of films,
particularly Memorable Villains, Evil Stepmother, Lady Tremaine and Cinderella, The
Queen of Hearts, and Allis in Wonderland, Captain Hook and Peter.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Pan Come On.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
He retired from Disney in seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
A more innocent time, Matt, You know, I want to
know what the Disney cartoons are like now.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Co author to the comprehensive book Disney Animation, The Illusion
of Life, first published in nineteen eighty one, immediately regarded
as the definitive resource book on traditional hand drawn character animation.
It has been republished countless times. It is considered the
animation Bible amongst character animators, as it walks you through
(29:50):
what are known as the twelve Basic Principles of animation.
If you're interested in learning more, there is a documentary
award winning documentary that came out in nineteen ninety five
called Frank and Ali about their careers, about the Nine
Old Men, about their private lives, their personal friendship. They
would go on to voice characters in Disney films, kind
of like a cameo. Those two were the leaders of
the Nine Old Men, so they would voice, you know,
(30:12):
just kind of tiny little moments and the Incredibles and
the Iron Giant things like that. He was married. One
son died in nineteen ninety two in Lackaniatta Franktons.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Who locked Canada?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (30:23):
It was one of those two North Bill Plascu types.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Ah, I locked him.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
He's a friendly had coffee, all right, Matt. I did
this one just because I know how important it is
to you and now how much you love it. Beating

her so much made her submit it, and much to
(31:39):

Kathy's popularity? And I was surprised to hear this was

A life of success. She did get married, but divorced.

Kathy DiY's White Man, Well we are your comic strip.
