Well, it's not a match. We don't call it a
baseball match. We call it a baseball game. So I

congratulate Matt money Smith. What did a great deal of
community outreach today? Ah? Yes, Matt spoke to the Glendale Quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I believe Glendale YMCA Football are the YMCA. Glendale Football
Club is the official title of the organization. Good job, Matt,
thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Kevin the director.
Your friend spirou oh spir Up Salties, who was my
point person.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well, I used to have dinner with Spirroup Salties's father
who since passed away. Spirroup Saltese's father was a man
by the name of Tony Psaltis, and Tony P. Saltis
was not only the point guard of the last USC
Final four basketball team in nineteen fifty three fifty four,
Tony Paltis was also a real man about town. He

(03:46):
owned a exterminator service.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
But he also not the one with the hammer behind
the back.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
No, no western, no but clothes.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Hey, come here, bug.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
I do remember Tony Salty's answering the phone and saying,
uh service. And that's how we used to answer the
phone at his place of business, which I always thought
was pretty sweet. Just service, which is a sweet old
school way to answer the phone. But Tony Salte's was
a single man. I believe he was a widower as
like a sixty seventy year old, and he was a

(04:20):
real g in the La area mid Wiltshire. So every night,
in a different weeknight, Tony P. Salty's could be seen
holding court at a different place for dinner. And Monday
was his night to go to Taylor's Steakhouse on Eighth
Street in Koreatown. So I was I was in the

(04:45):
Monday crew other places. Well, I had dated the daughter
of one of the other men, so I couldn't go
to Conrad's in Glenn.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Make that public, are right, Kelly Stafford, I'm just saying
they used to go to whatever. Kelly way to put
that out there, had.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Dated it to make anybody jealous. We just dated. But
I dated the daughter of the owner of Conrad's in Glendale,
and I could no longer go because he wasn't happy
with me for the how that ended. So I was out.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I should never mix pleasure with pleasure.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
You're right, I was out at Conrad's. I did go
to the Le Petite Greek with him, which I think
was their Wednesday night place in Larchmont. I I did
end up there once. But Tony p Salti's had an
amazing look. He had a big he was bald, he
was tall, he was a basketball player, and he had

(05:36):
a Gorbachev's stain on a bald head, like a real
gorbi stain. It was amazing. Anyway, I'm sure more on
that later. It looked like Gorby's. That certainly had a shape.
Now I can't say this matter as well. Yeah, really,
if I was gonna say that, any any shape that

(05:57):
Tony Psalti's head had, it would look like the island
of crete but but anyway, that's who's and spir Up Salties.
Tony Salty's son did not play basketball US. He played
baseball and he's the guy. He was his pitcher at USC.
So uh and I know you know about them, Matt.
I couldn't wait for you to have that conversation with him.

(06:18):
Uh So, I'm sure we'll hear more about that later.
But a lot of community outreach for Matt Smith, busy guy,
voice of the Bolts, busy season about to leave town
for a week. Yeah, with the how about that? VIC,
still doing community outreach for the people for spir Up
Salties and the good people of the Glendale Quarterbacks Club YMCA.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
It's a beautiful group. What do you think about that?

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Vic? What do you say to that? I say it's fabulous.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Number one, what a great charity group for the high
school you know, high school football.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Indeed, I believe the high school high school JC. Yeah,
the community college, door college and the pros. They for
all the quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Hey spread to they do it with a hell of
a spread.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
And they give it up for the little guys sort
of the you know, not your modern days, you know.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Wow, the local high schools, they're right on top of
Saint Francis, and they know what's happening with the dynam
miners and they've got carrows. So good job, good job money.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Have you spoke to them before, Vic, I have not,
but I know that I know how how wonderful their
work is.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Have you been tasked with speaking to any quarterback club
in town?

Speaker 1 (07:34):
I have not. I have not. You have? They never
got you for the old Pasadena quarterbacks, they're off the
golf course there. I have not spoken to the quarterbacks
in Pasadena.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
But IMCA Football Club in Glendale.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I am familiar with their work. I just I know
that I'm a multi veteran of both. Vick, oh, bless
your heart. But Matt Muddy Smith is the Vetanato today.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Think the American Legion Hall, and now it's in a
country fancy Oakmont beautiful, I mean beautiful luncheon room. I
will say though there was a brief moment when I
looked around the room and I felt as though I
was in the Southern California Sports Broadcasters Association luncheon.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Just that is the demographic.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yes, it's a very similar demo. And I followed two
fantastic speakers. Their first two weeks of this season, this
season of the YMCA Glendale Football Club, Jamie Maggio kicked
it off, Wow, come on nice, And then Pete Arbogast
was there last week.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Harbogast from nearby Marshall High School in Los Fela's.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
M So, I'm in good company, and I'm fortunate and
thankful that they invited me.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
I was once at a table for the Glendale Junior
College Hall of Fame dinner. Let's go for caros and
going into the Hall of Fame was my cumbado, Jimmy Evangelidis,
the star running back of one of those Glendale teams
back in the day in the seventies, Vic all Right

(09:15):
and his holder and kicker Andy Reid, Oh wow, and
Tony salt And Tony Saltis was at the table Salties
and I remember there. I mean we were at like
an event at like a junior college. And my uncle
Tommy is a distinguished man and one of the great
high school athletes in the history of this area, was

(09:38):
told by Tony Saltis, Hey, why don't you clean up
these plates, Tommy? And I thought my uncle Tommy was
going to break Tony Psaltie's stained head, but Instead, he
just graciously stood up and grabbed the plates as like
a servant, as Christ would have wanted him to write
a classy move. But Tony, I thought was a little

(09:59):
over his skis in that moment, just speaking from my
heart the moment, just remembering the day and the night
at Glendale Junior College. Let's go for carros. I thought
Andy Reid was Mormon, and he is, but he still
drinks beer.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, you know, it's like all sects of religion. Do
you make your own rules?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
You know, Mormons going to the Hall of Fame tonight,
bitch the Vicars Hall of Fames.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Right having a beer? What'd you say, Tim?

Speaker 4 (10:32):
The Mormons are really expanding.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Well, yeah, they drink coke.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Now, the Secret Lives of Mormon White.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
It seems like you give up, you know, you kind
of give up the uh not.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
No matter. They're a lot looser in the in the
the the sodas. Don't you put that coconose on them?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well, so they call Coca Cola gateway drug. Hey, Vic,
I'm gonna get sep oh, then you start blowing it.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
I'm going to give you two guesses for the Marshall
High School mascot. Vic okay, guest number one wildcats incorrect.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
That's a good guess though. Now I'm gonna give you
a lot of wildcats out there.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
I'm gonna give you a hint. What do you call
a British judge? Oh? Really, a British judge.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's their mascot.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
The barristers, Oh wow, very solicitors. That's a lawyer.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I was thinking magistrate, the.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Barristers with the wig, the whole thing beautiful.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
That's a fabulous mascot.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, everybody loves Marshall High.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
You know, I was just thinking alliteration. It's like AST's
Marshall Magistrate.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Sorry. Man, Sorry, it wasn't what you wanted. I wanted
it to be there, just it wasn't. But you know what,
you deserve a lot of kudos, Matt.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
It was fun. Everybody was very friendly. They're all big
fans of the show. And you know, I got up
to speed Kate's favorite spot where the girls go to school,
village was there.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
Coach Brew.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Coach Brew was very funny, very entertaining.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
They had a tough loss to Sure High School last Friar.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Oh Sure High, Spartan's East La stand out.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
They got him last week, Hoover's having a bit of
a rough.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
Go feels like that's an annual.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Oh really yeah, real rough.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Well, ever since Henrick went over to John Ireland and
away from us, what do you expect, right, where's your
football credibility without us? You're not going to get it
from John Ireland?

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Why don't say other names?

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Well? Who was the other? Oh? They just recently hired DeMarco.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Far We got Glendale. You already mentioned Saint Francis Lock
of YadA High School. I believe was lock Canyada was
up first.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
They had a big win, apparently back corrections and retractions.
The barrister and a solicitor or both. They're both different kinds.
The British lawyers out here we call them lawyers. So
I gave you a bad hint there, Vic, they're not
the Marshall magistrates.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
You're off the hook, Vic.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
I was feeling the pressure.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Trying to think of who I'm forgetting. I wrote it
down for the number of the day.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Of all the local high schools that were honored.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, I made sure I kept tabs on everyone who
was doing what.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
I think you got ahold of them.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
All right, Matt, we got some action for you, some
content here. We'll start with minor sports story four stories
or great sports Talk. Hert Burk heartbreak, Yes, Shlen Woodley,
Matt Oh, the Aaron Rodgers Lady. Yes, it was love

(21:41):
two years ago Aaron Rodgers ex fiance while he was losing.
Last night, she talked in a press chucket before the
NFL game popped off. She's got some new scissoring chick
show out called Three Women. She's also going to play

(22:04):
Jenis Joplin in a biopic. We also like to call
him biopics here.

Speaker 5 (22:11):
Oh yeah, so she's gonna play who Jeris Joplin? I
don't know she could sing, well, you've really got to
be able to sing.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Green at the top of her lungs. Or maybe they'll
dub it. I don't know, Matt, but Woodley promoting this
other show is colely alluding to her breakup from her
engagement with the guy that lost the Baby Faced Brock
party last night, Aaron Rodgers. He said all kinds of stuff.

(22:43):
She said many things, mad about love and life. And
here's what she said, And you can read between the
lines talking about her recent breakup with Aaron Rodgers and
how she's healed. I give all of myself. I used
to be a person who if you crossed me and

(23:07):
disrespect that would continue to give and give. Now if
you cross me, I respectfully go. Thank you so much
for that information have a beautiful life. I wish you well.
Not interested. End quote. So reading the tea leaves and

(23:30):
the rest of the self obsessed quotes from Shaleene Woodley,
who is from the Valley, I think bottom line, it
seems that Aaron Rodgers dumped Woodley and walked all over
her like the curly haird big nose that she is.
It was love, but it's over now. So Shleeen is

(23:57):
now thirty two years old and still so Martin from
the Aaron Rodgers break.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Oh, it seems as though these uh, these relationships all
sort of end the same way around the same time
with Rogers, don't.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
She's from Sea me Valley, my my apologies, see me
value but born at San Berduc.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Right at that moment where it's like, oh wow, this
is getting a little serious. Must be time to get
married or no, Olivia munt Olivia.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Mun broke up the family, right, So anyway, just some
insight into what's going on behind the scenes in Aaron
Rodgers heart.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Does he have anybody new? Are we aware of that?

Speaker 1 (24:36):
No, he was dating that witch chick and now yeah,
I don't know what he's doing, probably just ordering massage.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Guys all right, here comes.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Sports stories, sports talk. It's British News, British time.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
For PMS, British News, United Kingdom, English News.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
It's time for British news.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Cheerio, get out.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Interesting moment. Here a soccer guy, a striker for a
team in outside of Manchester, the Greater Manchester area called Bolton,
the Bolton Wanderers. A soccer guy for the Bolton Wanderers
team also known as the Whites. My favorite team was

(25:30):
certainly not Vic's favorite, Kate's and you though they love
the White the Whites also known as the Trotters. Anyway,
The Wanderers on their roster have a striker named Victor
on a boyejo at a boyejo and Victor at a
terrible moment where he blew out his back with a

(25:53):
violent sneeze. Professional soccer player sneeze so hard that he
jacked his back and his ribs.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
The old Sammy Sosa.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yes, team manager Ian Evat said he's a pretty He
was a pretty hefty sneeze and he felt a crack
in his back In reeves. Victor is a powerful boy
and even his sneeze is a powerful Believe it or not,
I gotta start having a long look at me South

(26:25):
when the players start getting there sneeze, no doubt. Coach
Ian Evatt said, Sammy Sosa comes to mind, Uh, Jeff
Kent washing his car or a truck, and then it
figured out that he was a ATV riding.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
What about just love riding my cycles in the desert? Man,
love it so much?

Speaker 1 (26:51):
What about tatis down in San Diego?

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Batist the motorcycle.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
The old Kobe cut his hand moving boxes? Bs?

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Right's that one?

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Oh? Uh?

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Who is our guy? Got into the bar fight, cut
his hand? Dodger reliever Bible, Joe Bible.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Now this is not unprecedented in my life. In nineteen
ninety two, the Peninsula Panthers football team that my father,
John Papadacus was the de coordinator of and my brother
Tosso starred as a linebacker fullback on was hampered by
his starting tight end in d end Bart Gluesack, and
Bart's injury where he blew his back after a violent sneeze.

(27:34):
Perhaps also because glu Sack was known as the laziest
man alive well and was on his couch for like
thirty six hours straight and then sneezed and blew out
his back and it hurt us in the playoffs. Legend
has it and the real irony there Bart's father, doctor Gluesack,
a chiropractor.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
How about that?

Speaker 1 (27:56):
All right? One more story lay sports stories for greats
sports talk. Falsea trying to tell him sausage had Italian?

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Oh, sausage had Italian?

Speaker 1 (28:12):
You see la versus Indiana DeSean Foster's Rose Bowl debut
after a buye kickoff at four point thirty on AM
eleven fifty, enter Kurt Signetti, Indiana head football coach, coming
to the Rose bowlt the Hoosiers and the old Granddaddy.

(28:36):
Of course, it's not really the Rose Bowl. They're just
playing UCLA. It's not on New Year's Day, and most
people don't really care like they would if it was
the Rose Bowl. But still, Indiana hadn't been there since
the thirties. Now, Kurt is a first year coach at Indy,
so he's not a longtime Hoosier or anything. Matt. This
is his first go round with the Hoosiers. Uh. This

(29:00):
was the guy that had James Madison going okay, And
if you look at this guy a picture of Kurt Signetti,
he looks like he eats rocks and combs his hair
with a rock.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
He's from Signetti, He's from Pittsburgh coach. Oh yeah wow.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
And he went to college in West Virginia and uh
with James Madison, he lit the sun belt on fire. Uh.
Signetti also used to coach with your favorite guy, another
Italian American at NC State chack a motto.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Oh hell yeah, I hope he has his sunglasses.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
With his Oakley blades. Yes anyway. Uh. At first, Signetti
was very very uh at Big ten media day when
Deshaun Foster froze up like a frog in the flashlights
in the Bayou. Coach Kurt was very curt about what
they were going to do at the Rose Bowl. If

(29:57):
you remember the sound, he said he was gonna come
to an old stadium and kick somebody's ass.

Speaker 6 (30:01):
We're just going on an old stadium to kick somebody's ass,
you know. But that's not when I say that, that's
not direct to tour UCLA. That's you know, that's the
objective every week. Look, I know that nineteen sixty seven
we were there and we haven't been there since.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
And blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 6 (30:18):
Okay, we're We're not going up on a cruise or
for a tour.

Speaker 7 (30:23):
We're gonna play football game.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
We got a job to do it short it to
thirty years. But that was what he said about going
to the Rose Bowl when it was all far away
before camp. Do you think his tone has changed, Matt,
I'm gonna have to guess.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
I'm gonna guess. Yes.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Here's coach Kurt it his weekly press conference for UCLA week.

Speaker 7 (30:48):
I mean, you know, the Rose Bowl has a lot
of tradition people that follow football.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Uh. For me, wait, wait, team, it's more wait, I
bet you he says, we can even be playing in
the parking lot.

Speaker 7 (31:01):
I mean, you know, the Rose Ball has a lot
of tradition, people that follow football. Uh. For me and
the team, it's more of a business trip whether we're
playing in a Rose Bowl or in a parking lots,
the same, you know appation.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
I just want to say this, and I don't want
to come off wrong, because who knows, I might run
into this fine Italian American down the road. They might
lose enough games in the Big Ten to run into
me and my crew. But no matter what has been
said over the years, and I've heard it for years
from John Robinson, my coach. It was a big thing

(31:40):
with Pat Hill for years and years. For all the talk,
no one has ever played in the.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Parking lot and if they did, people would die.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
It never happened. No one has ever organized the game
in the parking lot, no one has I've ever painted
the lines in the parking lot. No one has ever
got the chain gang out there, or the scissor lifts.
We have never ever organized and played an NCAA game
in the parking lot or the NFL or anything else.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
And I would assume coaches would probably protest having to
play on asphalt.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Even though they say that they would they would. I
still think they would say any time, yes, anywhere, anybody.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
We can find a green patch somewhere in this neighborhood,
so we don't have to play on this asphalt.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
So you know, it can't like when coaches say that
they're lying. It could never be the parking lot, So
please go ahead. I'm sorry that.

Speaker 7 (32:38):
We're playing in a rose bowl or in a parking lot.
It's all the same. You know, our preparation has to
be excellent starting today, string together a good sequence of
niles and prepared to the best of our abilities. So
to give ourselves the best chance. And it's gonna be
a little longer trip out there, you know, bust Indianapolis

(32:59):
fly out. They're in the La Mara Hotel. A little
bit of a time change, but no big deal. The venue,
it's never really played a big part in it. From
a coaching stamp, Pine keep talking about it. We're looking
forward to playing.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, there's not a single thing in there about the
UCLA football team. It's time zone, it's a bus to
it's all logistics. We got a bus to Indy. Yeah,
turns out there's no airport in blooming t You're gonna
have to bust to Indy for all your trips.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
I mean it's not that far, right, No, it's like
an hour forty five minutes. They don't have an airfield.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
I mean you know what, maybe they do. Maybe they
can't an airfield. Yeah, maybe they have a charter that
they can fly out of there.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Apparently not not to go all the way out to
La got a bus into Indiana. Law. That is the
latest with the Italian American head coach taking on coach
foss Indiana versus UCLA.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
How about this for five years I'm going through his bio. Yeah,
he coached at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yes, he's been. He knows a lot of fight songs. Again,
he's fifty three sixty three, So I mean that's a
long ass coaching career.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
And imagine working at IU of Pennsylvania and then actually
getting the IU job.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Well, Matt, that is a little bit of the Uh,
that's kind of the trend. I mean, you know, look
at all these different guys, Kaylin de Boor coming from
No Dad Falls, Sue Falls, the Matt Campbell coming from
Mount Union, and these guys come from small schools. Dan
Lanning comes from a middle of nowhere school in Missoo

(34:41):
somewhere that somebody's gonna text me so uh. And this
is the guy that had JMU going so oh lypold
at Kansas right from Buffalo and a small school before that,
climbing from Notak Yes, Kate's I.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
Bet NBC is anxious to get a microphone for that
midfield coaches greetings during warm ups. You imagine DeSean Foster
and this guy just talking.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Wow. Well, DeShawn said that one thing.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Now you say something about me, you.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Just better hope that you didn't say something in our
beat him place. It's gonna be bad better.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Hope you didn't say something it beats you. Well, he
has to say something.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Well, it's kind of part of the job.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah, I mean he's had a press conference. Not much
of a press conference. Press conference if you're not answering
any questions or making an open statement.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Well, a big appreciation to coach for opening his mouth
and having a little fun at Big ten media Day.
You know, some guys had a hard time with that, Matt. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
And he will claim to play you in a parking lot.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Well, no one's ever gonna play in the park as
much as it can be said, like we'll play you
in the parking lot. That's our mentality.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
That's one place they're not going to play you.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
It's a lie. Oh let me. I'm gonna send you
a picture of Tony salty SMATs.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
I saw it on Twitter.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Yeah, PMS Dead and Alive. Doug up a picture of Tony
something beautiful. I retweeted it at the old p check
it out.

Speaker 4 (36:05):
I know the company that runs the parking lot at
Rose at the Rose Bowl. I know the owners. We
can maybe arrange for them to play in the parking lot.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
So that's a good idea. But I guess if you
play in the parking lot at the Rose Ball, you
might be playing on a golf course, so technically you'd
be on some grass.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
That's true. Hm, Well you could play in the parking
lot in front of the rose Bowl if you want
a harder surface lot. H yeah, a lot. H. I
just for all the parking lot talk. And I remember
like a Presno State was pretty good in my day,
you know, when I was playing Matt David Carr and
Pat Hill and all that, and that was their whole thing,

(36:40):
like anytime any body anywhere. And I always thought like
as a football player, like wow, that parking lot in
Fresno would be really hot. And it never really occurred
to me like We're never going to play on the
parking lot, let alone, we're ever even gonna play in Fresno.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
I'll play in an almond grove.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
William Jewell College in missou That's where a Landing played.
So the small schools are more popular. Hey, and this
Italian rock eater culture, he uh, he might be coming
out here to an old stadium to kick somebody's ass.
At least that's what he said in a parking lot,

(37:23):
which I promise you no one's gonna play it ever.
I mean they might build a field and have like
an out indoor facility or outdoor facility. You know what,
you're a parking lot. I know.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
We have just stumbled upon it. We have just stumbled
upon it. Wait, we got a break. I'll mention it
when we return. Oh, this is our million dollar idea
million dollar idea that we will not follow through on.
And one of you can take it and run with
it and make a fortune.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Parking lot football is you'll see.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Oh yeah, oh it's coming.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Another another winner from Matt Smith. I might as well
might as well call Tim Conway during the break and
ask him for some horse picks. Right, we'll be right
back with more. It's great sports.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Knock on, Petro, somebody Dodger baseball coming up at seven o'clock,
David VESSI will join us in about a half hour.
I already gave away our tickets for this hour, but
next more chances five o'clock hour will give a pair
away for tomorrow night's game against the Cubs. On Max

(38:34):
Mounsey Bobblehead Night.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Well, we were talking about how Indiana has not played
out in the Rose Bowl since nineteen sixty seven. That
was O. J. Simpson MVP. USC won fourteen to three.
They did not cover. They were a fourteen point favorite.
My dad was a senior in high school. And the

(38:55):
Kurt Signetti, the UH Indiana head coach, said we could
be playing in the Rose Bowler playing a parking lot.
And I made the point because I've been hearing this
for years as an ex football player that for all
the talk, we've never ever played in the parking lot, right,
It's never happened. And Matt said he got hit by

(39:16):
a diamond bullet in the head and he has an idea. Ready,
you know, after all these years, are you ready for anything?
I'm ready.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yeah. If you're a smaller school trying to make a statement,
red turf, blue turf, parking lot turf, why would you
not make your field look like a parking lot?

Speaker 1 (39:38):
They have it already, they do. I mean it looks
like metal pewter. It's uh, justtern Michigan.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Do they have the uh.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Look at Eastern No, it doesn't look.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
I'm talking about like the yellow lines like gage would
be yellow like a parking lot, parking space. Oh, that
would look pretty sweet. So it's technic, and you could
call it the ying you in the lot. We're playing
you in the lot. It's dark gray, like you said,
like a pewter. You can't make it black, obviously, it'd
be freaking nine thousand.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Oh there is a black field, is there? We talked
about it. It's like a small school.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
So I would make it that parking lot gray.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Look up Eastern Michigan, Matt It is exactly the color
you're describing, the Eastern Michigan. Yeah, it is. It looks
like asphalt, and they have like a blue collar style.
Look up the Eastern Michigan field. Yeah, I see it,
I see it.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
I like that. But do they call it the lot?

Speaker 1 (40:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
You know what I mean, why would you not make
it the lot? Hey, we're playing you in a parking
lot and it's got the yellow stripes and the asphalt tone,
and you call it the lot. Huh huh?

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Not bad, right, I mean? Yeah, I mean they've already
cultivated like a blue collar style.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
You know, do we have a let's see, not the zips.
Who are the racers? Aren't there racers out there? I
know basketball, but I don't know if they have a
football team. I feel at Murray State, are they the Racers?
It's possible if we got something that, but I don't
know if they have a football team. But they got
a football team they do. Yeah, get the Murray State

(41:14):
ad on the phone. Petros and Money's got a million
dollar idea for him.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
Or they could make the Detroit Piston's court look like
a parking lot.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Right, we'll play. But you know you could play basketball
in a parking lot. Like you said, you can't play
football in a parking lot, but now you can in
the lot.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Yeah, it's actually called Crosby Field now for Max Crosby.
Oh right, Wi, that's right. Who went to Eastern Michigan.
She was a soccer player there. Full gray field turf surface,
which they did in twenty fourteen.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
So we know they got the gray So we've got
the gray turf. Not all we gotta do is paint
the lines yellow and call it the lot.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
Lighting was added in nineteen seventy four, partially to the
Detroit Wheels of the World Football League.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Okay, she can make the end zones black. She could
have the black asphalt in the end zone.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
There, yet, Kate the high school, excuse me? The college
you're thinking about is Soony Morrisville talking about on the show.
They have the black field turf.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
Right, yeah, that's the all black one. I thought the
football team died and the last they've all died. Oh, Matt,
look this on the text el so five yard line.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
Brought to you by your so called to five yard
line handicaped blue, brilliant.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Text though so speed bumps everywhere. Oh this is it.
Man traffic cones for the first down.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Right, see the textil soo line comes alive. We've got
it all figured out. How we make money off this,
we don't have. It's just a million dollar idea. We'll
get invited for the inaug your lital kickoff.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Oh you know who can flip the coin, Ronnie Lot Right.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
The guy blows out his knee and they bring a
shopping card out to get him.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
The EMU field nickname is the Factory. Okay, see the
steel like steel. You know what I'm saying, Matt. You
know you're kind of there.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
But it's not the lot there. We'll play you in
a parking lot. It's like, hey, okay, play us in
the parking lot. You say you're gonna play us in
a parking lot. We'll come play us in a parking.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Lot, like the kids say, I still have to stand
on business and uh, I don't think anybody's gonna ever
play in the lot. No one's ever gonna play in
the parking lot. You might get a field to look
like a lot, and then you start getting to why
not make a football field look like Super Mario Brothers backdrop?

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Why not? Because that's not a shame. They don't say, hey,
we'd play you in Super Mario World. They don't say
that you're the final Boss like it's not it's incongruous.
They say, we'll play you in a parking lot. We'll
come play us in a parking lot.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
I'm talking about organized football, guys. I don't want to
hear about Vick the brick in the parking lot. Stop
texting me about it, okay, please, I left my teeth
in the shoe yet. Thank you, we'll be back, and
thank you for listening. We've got David Vasse in the
