Uh you know the name Carrier. It is a signature
name in the air conditioning world.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Hollywood ball exploded.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
But did you know Carrier? Willis Carrier was hired to
engineer a device that would not cool us humans down. Instead,
he was hired to engineer a device that would regulate
high humidity levels at a publishing company. The high humidity

(02:58):
prevented in from fully drying and magazine pages to wrinkle.
So Carrier, after designing the system they required, realized the potential,
tweaked some things, named his System Apparatus for Treating Air,
and earned himself the title the Father of air conditioning.

he's in the headlines today after he said on air yesterday,
Tom's gotta get more excited than that of the booth.

right about that, but I don't like you saying you

your big fat, dirty mouth, dirty chilly face. Amen forty
nine Ers Jets. Aaron Rodgers makes his return. It's on
our sister stations. Sai Chill is gonna last two series
Chargers from one and zero after they went over the Raiders.

(06:37):
What a moment. Jim Harbaugh on Anti seventy earlier today,
not on our show. No, he went on The Herd
and he said the culture he wants was already started
before he got here.

Speaker 6 (06:49):
I would say about a day and a half after
being on the field with the players, I realized that, uh,
you know, guys like Derwin James, and that's sort of
hit me. I mean, just do whatever Derwin James is.
There's guys here Derwin, Justin Herbert, Joey Bosa, clil Mack.
I mean, they just do everything right, Rashaun Slater, Zion John,

(07:11):
and I realized that the culture is already here. It's
already set. It's already Uh these guys are already been,
not you keeping doing the dirty work and they and
they do it with a great love and time football
care for their teammates and the organization. So it was
it was already set.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
So I just.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
Realized real early on that, uh I'm the lucky one
to be here and and uh, just go with what
they what they what they've got established.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Who rescued you? You know that's right.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's what I say every day when I see Willow
the dog will who rescued you?

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Well, Matt, you're going out to Charlotte. They're taking on
Raggedy Andy, Bryce Young and the Panthers. Ten am kicking
all ninety eight to seven. I just.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Thought he was going to be good. Thought Bryce Young
was going to be really good. Who knew who is
really good?

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, we didn't know. We're talking about those two guys
washing their balls. The next thing you know, it's the
guy in the ice.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
But you know what there it is in the I E.
You know, Rough and Pumble I E.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Rams lost in Detroit last night, their own one. To
make things worse, they're banged up already. Poking Akua had
a second quarter knee that forced them out of the
game at halftime. Left tackle Joe Noteboom note Boom was
carded into the locker room because of an acle injury,
and left guard Steve Avilia did not play in the
second half. They have revealed that he has a sprained MCL.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
That's not good.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Right guard Kevin Dotson left the locker room on crutches
and his foot and ankle are in a protective boot.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
If my math is correct, and I'm doing it right
here in the moment, that's three fits of the offensive line.
That would be sixty percent of your offensive line for
an old and brittle Matthew Stafford. That is out of
the lineup week one, and I do believe coming in

(09:10):
they already had a couple injuries. Are long. Yeah, French line.

Speaker 7 (09:13):
There, Puca is going to the ir by the way.
That's four weeks. Yeah, you are four week's minimum.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
U c l A host Indiana yes Saturday at the
Rose Bowl kickoff at four point thirty am, eleven fifty.
The Hoosiers for two and oh to start the season,
they had like seventy points last week. They're under first
year coach Kurt Signetti, who's an Italian American, is not
afraid to speak his mind. Oh you're giddy, Pratt. Remember

(09:46):
he was the one who made this comment at the
Big Ten media day.

Speaker 8 (09:50):
We're just going on old stadium to kick somebody's ass.
But that's not when I say that, that's not directed
toward UCLA. That's that's the do every week. Look, I
know that we were there and we haven't been there
since and blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, we're not
going on a cruise or for a tour. We're gonna

(10:12):
play football game.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
We got jobs to Catalina if you want.

Speaker 8 (10:16):
Blah blah blah.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Blah blah blah blah. The restaurant rows like freaking bad backs. Now, man,
it's a buckalyptic down there.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
I'll take that primary slap you upside of face.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Kind of pleasure to ride out there about And what
about you, coach Foss, Well, I don't be talking about me,
because if you say something to beat you just gonna
be bad. You just better hope that you didn't say
something I beat you, because bad. It's like William Wordsworth
versus Coleridge out there on Saturday. Just better hope that

(10:50):
you didn't say something I beat you because just a
couple of riding at Barns. Yeah, that's the objective everyone,
But what if you go to a new stadium.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
It's just an old stadium. That's all that is out there,
and that's our objective every week.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Football man, don't you know what we're about?

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Blah blah blah blah. Cutters right, the USC's on a bye.
Angel reced surgery on her wrist. Oh man, that's a bummer.
Nobody was rebounded more of her own misses than Angel
Rees in the history of the w NBA, because like
a lizard, you can see, you know, the ball comes
Krum's way off and her eyes running.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Some of that piston. I don't remember who it was.
There was a Piston that had was one rebound away
from a triple double, and he was like, got the
rebound and we got pissed off. I Angel Rees can
really rebound. Well, she was three for eighteen and I
had like eight rebounds on her own missus.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
And the other four were on free throws. Did you
see Caitlin Clark break that down? Yeah, she shot an
air ball. I mean I did, I saw it. Ricky
Davis was the guy who did that.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Ricky Davis, That's exactly who it was about.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Kaylin Clark's all right, we'll be back a triple dub.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
I did see it. Ricky miss that shot and the.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Rebok Gayland Clark is going to lead the NBA w
n B A and assists this year, and most of
her passes just go right off the faces of her teammates.
They're just like they see it coming or they find
their hands perfectly. Holy Dixon every time. All right, we'll
be back with some.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Common stadium that show some money in five seventy l
a Sports Alive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Just gave
away our last pair of tickets to see the Dodgers.
We have got Dodgers, and we had Dodger tickets every
hour for tomorrow's game, So stick around because they still

(12:56):
have a handful of home stands left. Probably gonna get
Dave Weese to do the same thing moving forward, but
just gave away our last pair. In the last segment
pregame show with Tim Kates, though, we'll have the zen
She Sweet Life Challenge, your chance to win sweet tickets
to an upcoming game, made possible by Zenhi Sushi, Fast
Fresh and Easy picking up today a Ralphs and other
local supermarkets near the Delhi counter.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
All right, Matt, we'll do the debt and Alive and
then we'll get to the Moroco Casino. Dodgers on deck
with the Cubs in town, Dodgers sitting pretty a lot
of injuries with the pitching staff. Last time we were
on we were having lamentations and weeping and moaning and
gnashing of teeth.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
It feels so much different now after this weekend series copy.
I couldn't feel any more different.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Oh, confidence, it's time of the flip top story of
the day.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Man, I'll flip you out, I will look you out.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
This is the flip top story of the day. Well,
I gotta say, Matt, how sad was I that I
missed on my Nebraska Colorado pick? Because I underestimated Matt
rules season of season improvement under the husks of horn
in America's flat Lands? How sad was I that I
missed on that Nebraska Colorado pick?

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Why did I enjoy it so much?

Speaker 1 (14:12):
My mine? Did I enjoy that so much? Like a fool?
Like a fool trying to use reverse psychology, because it
doesn't really matter when I pick. It's just talking. I
just poop coming out of my mouth. Well, let's say
that's why Deshaun Foster won't talk. It doesn't mean any
doesn't mean anything, just poop mouth. Well I'm not saying

(14:35):
it's all poop man trying to enteritate. I shouldn't have
gone against what my feelings are, and my feelings have
always been at Colorado football ever since Dion took over,
and whatever he has forged out of whatever, they's always
looked like an overly glorified seven on seven football team
and acted like an overly glorified seven on seven football team,

(14:58):
and sucking do the discipline of a seven on seven
football team. Nebraska was a complete team with their special
kirkurb Street and Ben the dog delivered quarterback and likable
head coach Matt Ruhle. Rayola and Matt Rule make a
fine tandem.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Hey both have square heads.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Sure, And Colorado looked like a soft, big twelve air
raid team with a quarterback running for his life that
refuses to run the ball or stop the run, or
create any kind of balance or any kind of complimentary football.
Does that sound familiar? Maybe some traces of USC last
year Caleb Williams running around. Maybe some traces of USC

(15:43):
under Clay Helton.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Maybe some traces of Caleb running around for the Bears. Hey,
those guy's are faster Kaylab's.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Now, wow, it's not how I wanted that. Well, their
last marks are different. Now, that's not how I wanted
my first game to go.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
No, can't take twenty nine yards of sack loss.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Hey, way to go though, with those sweet special teams
and defense play.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
And his fingernails look great, Come on, du Bears.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Well, Matt as you said you enjoyed it. Twitter or
x has been relentless since Shaduur left the game early
Lebron James style a couple of minutes on the clock,
Shaduer Sanders after his brother was escorted much earlier with
a broken forearm surgery today, Sorry about that. Swinging their
arms around?

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, I never want to see the kids get here just.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Swinging their arms and uh. He seemed to blame his
old line in the postgame press conference that raised some
people's ire, asking how many times Rayola was hit when
Rayola has moved in the pocket and they run the
ball and have created balance. My favorite tweet was saying
that Dion is not a real coach, but a private

(16:44):
coach for Travis Hunter, Shiloh and Shaduur masqueraded as a
Big twelve coach masquerade of sorts.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
I didn't even know if he's a private coach. I
think he's just their hype man.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, well you know, well, you know, you don't know
what he's privately doing.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
He's the private coach. What else just for money.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
One one of my favorites was Colorado used to lose
ten games a year and nobody cared. Now since Coach
Prime took over, they lose ten games a year and
everybody hates their ass. Which was also a lot of fun.
And this week Matt we got the blood Feud Rocky
Mountain Showdown with Colorado State Cam the Ram and his

(17:25):
enormous balls versus Ralphie the Buffalo's actually a girl. Spread
air raid concept versus spread air raid concept. It's gonna
be a seven hour game in altitude. Colorado State coming
off a bye after they got waxed by Texas, hosting

(17:47):
the Buffs in their new canvas stadium.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
It's made out of canvas.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
That's called canvas, but it probably has some canvas shade
this time of year, I would imagine, but.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
I think that it was like one of them cool
backyard whatever triangles are said, whatever.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Canvas is that is the title sponsor they do I
know have a New Belgium beer lounge at the Colorado
State Stadium because of Fort Collins being some of that
back New Belgium. But I'm sure they have all their
flavors available. Also, Matt, I thought you'd find this interesting.

(18:23):
According to a report in Denver sports dot Com, Colorado
Game Operations is not allowed to play the fight song
anymore because Dion said after Shadur scores a touchdown, they've
got to play Shador's song special rap song which is

(18:44):
called perfect timing.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Again. Private coach promoter well Agent.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
An unnamed spokesperson for the school, gave a weakish explanation,
saying Coach Prime never told the parent they couldn't play
the fart song for the circle trying new things. We're
just playing a special clipper mules for different players. But
there's oh here it is now. I want you to
know that. Hold on, we checked rate this food's flow. Wait,

(19:15):
we checked. He stole my bars word for word for bar.
We we we checked this and though it sounds very
much like he's saying the N.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Word, he's not.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
He's not.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
What's he saying?

Speaker 1 (19:29):
He's saying bag ats on my neck? Okay, like some
kind of big jewelry, not loads of bread, presumably. No,
here he is, there, he is.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Man.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
They told me bust a perfect time. Yeah yeah, yeah,
I mean we really thought he was saying the N word,
and I was like, there it is again. But you
can't play this. How do they play this in old stadium? No,
it's just a fan of bad fallsome fields, a great
place of great tradition. Because that's not the end word.

(20:08):
It's not all right, rewinding and play it for Matt.
He says something about the word. I know me too,
but he's really it's as he says something about the
a P pole right, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Why that everybody knows.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
He says, the ice and the bag as on his neck, okay,
perfect climate. They told me bout my ap perfect time. Okay,
got them up on my neck, and I got them
back up on my neck, shining.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
It's the second one that gets me.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
No, no, no, no, that's a maybot maybo. Yeah, not
the end. The N word is the one in the neck, right, yeah, yeah,
he said nat trust me the N word to me.
Oh well, I'm not going to sing you're a racist.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
I'm not going to sing it now if I go
to Oklahoma hop on a frat guide bus.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Maybe I do it, but he doesn't say the end word.
That's why it's okay to play at Coulston Field. You'll
also be happy to know this, Matt. You could leave
the song on.

Speaker 6 (21:09):
No.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Sure, they don't say the inWORD. This is actually the
clean version. So that's why Kates and I were freaked out.
We played the keat clean version and we're like, wait
a minute, that's the And then we looked up the
lyrics and we said, damn it, it's not it's a
bad should do it is a real deceiver. If he
had a play action game like this, he wouldn't get
sacked thirty times a game. That's the end.

Speaker 7 (21:30):
I know, right, Matt, I thought him a thousand times
I would saying the nword, right.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
I feel like mix on the air, Matt talking about
Ni Geary.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Oh Giris. But you know what, Matt, just like you,
we did a little digging. You know. You'll be happy
to know also that a coaching staff video for Colorado
leaked late last week of a coach beating up a GA.
The video narrated by Warren Sapp while he was laughing, yeah,

(22:03):
looking I hit him log right on to them. Also
on the staff is Warren' sound So nothing to see there,
no upstanding citizens. Football seems a lot like death row
records Right now, bull, you think you could play split
some bars and then you get like two words out.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
They just sock.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Face, just hanging people out the window. You got a
block for my son, you blow, you freaking pass on
every player, you drop back seven steps. We can't protect
your son.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
By the way, he ain't fast enough. Dude, ain't fast.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Run somewhere else. Run on the side. Also, I want
to say this to Paul find mom. What a day
LSU has been beaten by us? He Arizona State has
beaten Mississippi, and Cal went to Auburn and won. And
the col twitter says Antifa owned at Shurton, their stadium.

(22:58):
The cow twitter's going crazy.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Pretty good, pretty good.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
People's park over their hair and god damn hippies came
here and beat us. There's like one Asian guy in
the stands with his cow handing. All right, stay shining,
h Dor, We'll be back with more petros against bats
up on my neck of state. Shine. That sounds like

(23:25):
it sure does, Matt, But your door is a deceiver.

Speaker 2 (23:27):

I don't know, Matt. I'm pretty sure it happened a
green line. I'm telling you that it happened before, during
and half. All right, Matt, go ahead, what do you got?
The what you got?

Speaker 2 (25:39):
The dead guy birthday of the day today. Had no
idea who this person was until we celebrate him today.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Happy a new flavor for that for a week, an
all week a new flavor for.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
An all week somebody we should know. Happy one hundred
nineteenth to Joseph Edward Levine, uh stud of Cinema and
as self made as it gets. Born in the slums
of Boston, youngest of six y'all Russian Jew father passed
away when he was a toddler. Stepdad abandons the family,
so at fourteen, he's working full time in a dress factory,

(26:15):
full time, never to go back to school again. But
bust is asked. He and his two brothers open their
own dress shop in the basement of their house. That
makes enough money for him to open the Cafe Wonderbar
in Boston's back Bay. It becomes kind of popular. It's
a spot where people want to be and show up.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
And back Burger Boston's the best boss.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Back Burger, we got a new category called beck Burger.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
He meets a celebrity, this lady. They fall in love
and within a week she convinces him you're better than
the restauran business. You're better than this. So he sells
a Cafe Wonderbar within a week, and he buys a
movie theater and it works, and he expands to seven theaters,

(27:12):
three drive ins, and he's really good at finding films
at a discount and making money. He bought a bunch
of international films he was playing Robruto Rossolini's. He had
an eye for what films would succeed.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
I have an eye.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
So he figured, why show him when I can produce him?
It makes him real cash, so he founds Embassy Pictures.
In nineteen fifty six, he buys for twelve thousand dollars
the Japanese film Godzilla Whoa, and he spends four hundred
grand marketing it makes over a million bucks. Same thing

(27:46):
with Attila Sophia Loren. Come on, Anthony Quinn bought that
for one hundred K, spent six hundred k marketing it
two million dollars, and then he decides to take a
big swing. In nineteen fifty eight, he buys Hercules, but
decides I can't subtitle this. I'm gonna dub it, and

(28:07):
he spent a million dollars. If you've ever seen the Hercules,
it is the worst switch dubbed York the original Hello,
It's the worst dub movie you've ever seen. He spent
one point twenty five million dollars to dub and promote it.
Made five million dollars. He was so convinced that Lorenz
was a superstar he bought two women. Promoted it by

(28:28):
saying Lorenz was an Oscar worthy performance, and he was right.
She became the first actor from a foreign language film
to win Best Actress. Uh his favorite film, he said, Oh,
actually no, that's why we're listening to Scarboroughfare. He approached
one of.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
His puzza sicle like a sythe.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
He approached one of the Broadway's biggest directors, Mike Nicholson, said,
how'd you like to make a film? The Graduate, very nice,
highest grossing film of the year. After that, he hired
first time director Mel Brooks to make The Producers. He
sold Embassy for forty million dollars and it went to hell.
So win for our guy Levine, right, they say he

(29:10):
has the greatest failure in the history of Broadway. Kelly,
he spent six hundred and fifty two. That was bad
up to that moment egg Paul Simon's The Cape Man bad.
But I guess Kelly because he had also purchased the
motion picture rights. It opened on February sixth, closed on

(29:32):
February sixth one day. Invested over a million dollars one day.
His most famous quote, you can fool all the people
if the advertising's right. Ain't that the truth? Happy one
hundred nineteenth Joseph Edward Levey. Wow, the graduate graduate. Where

(29:52):
is the old makeout can? Getting married?

Speaker 1 (29:56):
All right, Matt, this one's for you. Fifty four years
old today, Henry Tom Yes, the guy from E T.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yes, he's fifty four.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Huh. The red hooded Sweatshirt Boy, a young working actor
from San Antonio. Was a simple young man, just a
small town Texas.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Guy, Just a small town Texas guy.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Went to East Central High. Went to East Central High,
home of the Hernets on the boulevard. He went to
Blend College, home of the Bukeneers Buccaneers. Yeah uh. He
started with the role of Emma Taylor in E. T
Spielborg when he was about ten and Matt he was

(30:40):
not happy. What do you mean with the fame? Very uncomfortable,
but he did continue as a working actor. Some highlights
Legends of the Fall, loved by Tim Kates.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yeah, one of Kates' favorites. Et I remember, I still
remember the bike, the Kuwahara. That's what he wrote. I
wanted that Kuwahara so badly.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
He suffered a horrible death in Martin Scorsese's Gangs of
New York from two thousand and two, which one was
he was hung on the fence and shot.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Yeah, that was a bad way to die. He was
a stoolie. I would say, don't be a stoolie.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
But Matt, there is only one reason that we do this,
one reason alone, so often referenced here and of course
not seen by everyone. He starred in All the Pretty
Horses Cormac McCarthy's book adaptation with Matt Damon.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
It really is a travesty that Michelle. You had no
idea what we're talking.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
At, or anybody else. It's ever been mentioned to on
the show other than me.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
But she breaks horses.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
What do you want from me? Here's a scene about
breaking horses. There's about twelve or thirteen.

Speaker 9 (31:49):
I'll make it sixteen, Armando said. The old man's got
something like four hundred mustangs up on that. Mason, damn,
you think you make a break all sixteen of them
in four days?

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Why four days do you think we can do? Be
about a war out some book?

Speaker 8 (32:18):
I'll tell you that.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
I have to look at him.

Speaker 9 (32:24):
Go talk to Armando, go.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
To Mexican prison.

Speaker 8 (32:31):
How you doing?

Speaker 1 (32:33):
How you doing nowadays? Henry does a lot of horror
movies with a guy named Mike Flannigan.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Horror movies, horror movies. He just what bangs horrors it
on like social media or horror. That's I said, the horse.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
That's you know, there's a serious guy. Yeah it is
Mike Flanagan.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Man, put that kuwahara between your legs.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Down Ouiji, Origin of Evil.
