Speaker 2 (01:28):
And Matt is live in the Sherwood Country Club Wine
cellar athletter a gallpin Ford golf tournament. So that is
where Matt is sucking in Pappy van Winkle no doubt,
and enjoying having the time of his life. A week
from Thursday, we're going to be at the Torrance BJS
(01:49):
at two o'clock right, Yes, a week from Thursday. And
some people texted me when our next remote is. Our
next remote is a week from Thursday at the Torrance
b Jays. If you're in a flash mob, do not come.
Everybody else is welcome Torrance Bjays Thursday. But right now
it's time for the Word of the day.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
With his words the word of the day.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Today's word of the day is Yale. Yale has just
announced a Beyonce class let Yale, one of the most
prodigious universities on Earth. He's going to have a class
on Beyonce not quite Skull and Bones next semester twenty
(02:37):
twenty five. Daphne Brooks, an African American and Women's and
Gender Studies professor, will be teaching a class on the
evolution of Beyonce's career, sound, Fashion, Digital Media. Now, Matt,
(02:59):
when I was a USC there was a Beatles class
that was very popular. Yeah, I think quite a few. Yeah,
they do that. Yeah, Now, I thought that that was
pretty cool at that time. You know, I took a
class on movies that were inspired that inspired hip hop,
like Superfly and Scarface and The Map and The King
(03:22):
of New York. A Beyonce class at Yale, though, to
me all these years later, does seem terrible. But who
am I to say, I'm not Ivy League material.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I did look up that Beatles class to see if
it was still offered at USC, and now they've added
David Bowie and the Stones, which makes me wonder, Matt,
if they show the dancing in the streets with Bowie
and Mick in.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
The video was a tipping point moment.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well, they are just super into each other most definitely,
because that would be like the end of the semi as,
the like when do you play that?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
When do you show this happened in the nineteen eighties.
Notice the shirt tucked in button to the top and
the suggestive dancing with each other, which we needs to How.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Are you gonna keep them down on the farm after
they see Carl Hunger's you know you sit there the
whole year. The Beatles class is also morphed into a masculinity.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Class because you know, huh.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
We've all got to identify something.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Well, give me a Romstein class and then I'll listen up.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Well, Matt, if you're in luck, they're offering one at
cal State Baker's feel Oh yeah, I know that they
will show all the single ye ladies in the Yale
Skull and Bones class. You know they're gonna show that.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Be Off iconic dance, one of the most iconic videos
in the history of the format.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And she stole the dance like move for move. I
wonder if they'll show that.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Of course, then it's Yale, for God's sake.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And do you think all those Yale's you know when
they see those thick bodies bouncing around them, they're all
gonna stand up and have a bonner. Anyway, food for thought.
Beyonce class at Yale. Not quite a Beatles class, but Beyonce.
(05:13):
Not Bob Dylan, but Beyonce. Can we have like an
Aretha Franklin class before Beyonce gets a class? I take
that right, We're like a Laura Nero. Get like a
Laura Nero class?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Did you get that going split end slash crowded house class?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I mean anything? Here is now time for the number
of the same top number of the day.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Well, the number of the day is twenty six. We
discussed it at the top of the show. It's the
twenty sixth annual Galpin Motors Golf Classic. They do it
as it benefits the Heart Foundation. Theheart Foundation dot org
is the site for the charity and it is a
friend of many folks around. Galpin gentleman by the name
(05:58):
of Stephen Cohen who sadly passed away in nineteen ninety
five sudden heart attack. He was only thirty five years old,
left behind a wife and two little girls. And it
is pointing out that people obviously have we pay a
ton of attention to cancer. And we've got a whole
month in the NFL where everyone's wearing pink and the
Cooman Foundation, of course, and people don't realize that, in fact,
(06:21):
it is heart disease that is the number one cause
of death for both men and women in the United States.
About a million lives are claimed annually. So they point
out and to the credit. I met his friend Mark,
who is the founder. I was talking him a little
bit earlier that they decided to do this to honor
their friend, and here they are twenty eight years later
and it's still going strong. They fund the research at
(06:41):
the Smitheart Institute at Cedar Sinai under doctor Shaw. So
it is a foundation that has raised a lot of
money and has hopefully saved a lot of lives. But
all Mark asked me to do, if we didn't mind
here on the show was please share with people to
get your screenings and make sure you take care of
yourself because it is of course a silent killer. That
(07:02):
plaque builds up and it can get you. And it
is Theheartfoundation dot org to make sure you take care
of yourself, your family, children, to get yourself checked out,
make sure your heart is all right, and heart disease
is kept at bay so the Heart Foundation dot org.
Speaker 2 (07:20):

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, right, hip fracture, he's out eight to ten. Oh
my gosh, No homegren tonight. His heart's okay, he's young,
although I'm sure well he should get his screenings. But yeah,

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Telvic fracture, heartfall.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Oh no, you're not going to have him to kick around. No,
and Matt, you know, just because they say red wine's
good for your heart. Yes, take it easy, take it easy,
all right.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
All right, only dust half of this bottle of lafonch.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
And I just got this text. It says, you call
yourself the commissioner of music. You sound like an old
ass fool because of the Beyonce class.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You ain't nothing but.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Listen to Survivor by Destiny's Child and tell me you
don't want to run through a brick wall a compromise
my Christianity, Ronning.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
This is a.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Song of the day.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Today's song of the Days called Veterans Days from a singer,
songwriter and musician out of Brooklyn, recording under the name
Cutworms because it's Veterans Day and the Petros and Money
Show gives a grateful salute to all of our veterans
for their heroic sacrifices for.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
The sake of freedom.

but whatever is because you said something, Yeah I did,
I said something. Well it's gonna be Now it's bad.
Speaker 1 (09:20):

Speaker 2 (10:52):
All right, Matt, it is time for the flip Top
story of the day. I'll clip you out, i will
put you out.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
This is the flip Top story of the day.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
It's time to show some love to Deshaun Foster and
the UCLA Bruins. Yes, Matt, it cannot be avoided. And
we said stuff about him and then they beat us,
and now it's it's bad.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
It's bad for us.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
There's no doubt Ucla has won three in a row.
I love the way that they've played the last three weeks.
We should not again have talked about them because and
they beat me. And now, as Deshaun Foster said, it's
gonna be bad, it is bad. But good for him,
(11:43):
good for those young men, and good for Martin Jarmond
who fired him after ruining his relationship with Chip Kelly. Kelly. Now,
I'm very happy for UCLA football. Yes, Iowa is down
to their fourth starting quarterback.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
They can't control that.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
But UCLA is playing much better football in November than
anyone else in Los Angeles. And as we know, UCLA
is in La. It's them, and that's see.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
I'm sure you guys don't know too much about UCLA
but our football program. But we're in LA, this is
us in USC. We I'm just basically excited. Really, yeah,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
And it took a while for that excitement to sink
in in the form of running the football and playing
angry defense. Now the Rams are searching, the Chargers also
surging UCLA surging, USC just finished a bye week and
they have a new quarterback. Oh well, I don't think
(12:53):
that's necessary. I mean, I'm trying to celebrate UCLA.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, I mean, come on, Kates, you're the one hosting
the post game.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Garber's is healthy and leading. TJ. Harden at Inglewood is
hitting the hole with fury, and he's fundamentally sound, doesn't
waste a lot of movement, real fundamentally sound action through
the contact zone. I'm impressed. Iowa, Rutgers, Nebraska. Those teams
(13:20):
have really good coaches, they really do. And Deshaun Foster
deserves credit for beating Schiano rule and Farence.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
You just better hope that you didn't say something I
beat you because he's bad.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, it is, and it's bad. I mean I don't
know what Farence said. I thought he was pretty respectful
and I'm pretty sure Sheiano didn't say anything bad. And
I know Matt Rule's a nice guy. But if that's
what DeShawn had to say about it, maybe he's talking
about Signetti, who's right on the verge of winning a
Big Ten title and taking Indiana to the playoffs, unheard
(13:58):
of and no one saw coming. They're the TCU of
twenty twenty four. But Deshaun deserves credit. He needs credit.
Good coaches make teams better as the season goes on
given the circumstances, and coach Foster has improved this team. Now,
(14:19):
if they can't finish with momentum, it'll be like a
fart in a whirlwind or a pillow if you.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Will, it's a Miller Moss special right in your pillow.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He's farting in the cellar. UCLA is going to U
dub that's in Washington. In No, it's in Seattle, yes,
but well USC is also in LA. It's US in USC,
So you're both gonna be in LA when USC and
(14:49):
UCLA play. And it's a night game this year because
they're both not good. So somebody's gonna get stabbed in
the phase.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
At least he's excited, and then.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
They're gonna play friends. Fresno's not bad, but they're certainly beatable.
Those are three very winnable games. Ucla is four and five.
They're going to a bowl based on that and the
way they've been playing. You got to give to Sean
Foster a ton of credit. Congratulations, coach. We know how
(15:19):
elated you are about the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
I'm just basically excited.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I know, I know, football guy, man, hey, I don't
have time for this football guy.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Look, Ucla has been more physically up to the battle
in the Big Ten than USC and Washington. They're right
behind Oregon as far as physically up to the battle
and the Big Ten. USC is not, and even if
they were, Lincoln Riley wouldn't allow it, and Washington is not.
Because of Fish, Ucla looks way better than they did
(15:59):
in October and and September especially, And good teams get
better as the season goes on. Good coaches make teams
better as the season goes on. And you got to
give to Sean Foster all the credit in the world.
And in the new era, the new Big Ten is
weird as hell. Indiana's undefeated Michigan sucks, but UCLA is
(16:22):
an undercover good story along with all the stuff that
normally happens Ohio State and Penn State doing the same
dance that they do every year, losing in big games
unless they play each other. But as all that stuff
has been happening, Congratulations the coach Foster at the undercover
love man. I'm just that's it. Way to go to Shawn.
(16:45):
They've kept working when idiots like us said they wouldn't
win another conference game. They kept grinding and they made
the team better. They deserve credit, they deserve fanfare. Fours up,
bring back the white guy cheerleader in shorts that Jim
Moore fire. They're Bowl eligible to Yukon. Congratulations to you,
(17:06):
Jim Morrison.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
No onn il, we need your money.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
No nil, and a haunted house that he lives in
on campus. Congratulations coach Coach Mora goes home and they
go rugulation. Ucla football is playing well and I'm the
burrito from Sam Pedrum here to celebrate that it's bad.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
You don't it's gonna be bad.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
If you're right, and Carson swesssinger right, is that the
guy's name the linebacker. He'll be on the show tomorrow.
We're having him on. He leaves the Big ten and
tackles the guy from Oaks Christian Form walk On. Nobody
knew what he could do. He's out there this year
making all kinds of plays. Six to twenty five red
(17:49):
shirt Junior Moore Park Oaks Christian High School guy. Uh,
he's been really fun to watch him and TJ Harden
the Inglewood sent no running back. So I'm be for
U C l A. And I would be remiss, Matt.
If I didn't remiss, I would I would be remiss
if I did not mention what they're doing. If I
just showed up every Monday here calling Lincoln Riley an
(18:12):
air raid guy, and Moofin and Newphing. But you got
to give them the credit. You gotta give schles Swessing
your credit to. He wears an ugly ass number number
forty nine. Maybe he's gonna maybe next year will be
like number four because he's bawling so long.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Just their hope that you didn't say something and I
beat you, because he's.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Gonna be pretty bad. It is, Matt.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
There was Mormon fury in the Holy War between b YU,
Yes it is true and Utah make way, Oh make
ways right.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Say hey it's me Why you.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Today? Is it dead lying day? Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
No, right, no way, and I'll be the first on
my block. Two click.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Here I come through the reply lovely. Now people are
very upset about the officiating these days in college football
because you know, with the Miami stuff three weeks in
a row, they couldn't save him against Georgia Tech.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
But with should have ever joined the Big Twelve? We
didn't sign up for this.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Well here is after what was conceived to be a
petty holding penalty, but some more camera angles have shown that.
I mean it was a penalty, but what what was
conceived to be a petty holding penalty that kept the
b YU game winning drive going at the end of
the Holy War and kept by U undefeated. Really upset
(19:51):
and he's always been a bit of a firecracker. Utah,
a d former South Florida guy Mark Harlan who just
took took to the state, gave a brief statement and
stormed off. This game was absolutely stolen from us. We
were excited about leaving Big Twelve.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
But tonight I am not sure we won this game
someone else stolen from us.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, very disappointed. I will talk to the commissioner.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Boo, this was not fair to our team. I'm disgusted
by the professionalism. Yes of the asiating.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
It would be lack of perfek you thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, lack of them. I like how they in the
in the write up, he has not met with the
media recently after a game. Yeah, ads don't meet with
the media act.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I've never never heard of it. They just don't. That's
not what happens. Forty thousand dollars. He was fine today.
Utah ad Mark Harlan for his comments about Big twelve
officiating and hey, I mean, I understand your frustration, but
taking the mic like that and getting all puffed up
(21:01):
is kind of like saying Cam Rising is gonna play
every week. Oh wa, anyway, forget it.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I mean, you shoot, you shoot stealing Home summer school.
That's just you're not getting residuals off that. It's not
like they pay you. I mean, that's that's a lot
of money for Mark to lose. Thank you, forty grant.
Stealing Home is a great movie. Thank you, Thank you
for acknowledging that. Matt And finally, Mattuh. You don't often
(21:26):
get You get people quoting the Bible from time to
time in football all the time, actually, but you very
rarely get the quote from the Book of Mormon. And
that's how meaningful this victory was for BYU. Here's coach
Kalati sid Hockey postgame frinds tonight. That allowed b YU
to find a way and keep this thing rolling and
what has been a magical season.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Keep believing, Keep believing, shared the scripture Heliman, chapter five,
verse twelve.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
You build a.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Strong foundation, I can withstand anything and it won't fail.
So these guys believed in it from the very beginning.
They bought into everything we've asked it too. And this
is the result of it. I mean, it worked out.
Our favor, grit got credit to you saw they had
a great game plan.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
But man, this is this is what this game should
be about. I don't mind the boring.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Losses, but this one's gotta be It's got to feel good,
especially with all the BYU fans. They've been on the
other side of this before.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I'm happy for all of them. Again.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
A foundation, it's good stuff, right there. Quote the Book
of Mormons.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Sweet the last time I met with Klaate Sataki was
on the road and we were doing a zoom and
he's like, Hey, I'm gonna go eat Petros. I've got
a real nice salad made for myself. And I said, already, coach.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
He goes, oh, yeah, right, good joke. Right, I'm going
to eat a side of beef and a loaf of bread.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Eh yeah, right, huh, okay, we'll be back with your
dad and Alive Guy. Birthday of the Day with Ernesto
Gallo and me Petrons. That's right, Clippers are in okac
(23:06):

two hours today and it's the same Wednesday and Friday. Yeah,
a lot of flex alerts, but that's what it is.
Clipper basketball action in the afternoon when they're at Middle America. Way,

were pretty close though, Oklahoma City and we will head
there in a moment. You can always podcast everything. And
now it's time for the Dead Guy birthday of the day.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, on Veterans Day, we celebrate a great veteran one
of my I think I can say one of our
favorite authors. Happy would have been one hundred and second
to Kurt Vonnegut Junior. Born in Indy. Father Kurt Senior,
incredibly successful and famous architect, older brother incredibly successful famous chemist.
Both parents son and daughter of German immigrants. After WW one,
(24:06):
family abandoned speaking German in the home. He grew up
with a strong anti German sentiment and American patriotism. The
Great Depression would wipe out the family's fortune. Nobody building
anything because they were all broke. Made for a rough
middle and high school years for Kirk Junior, but exceptional
student editor of the school paper. Went to Cornell as
a biochemistry major, per his father and older brother imploring
(24:29):
him to study something that would provide no matter of
the economic state of the nation. But he still wanted
to write, so he applied for campaign for and became
the editor of the Cornell Daily Sun. Had his own
column that became very popular around campus. He dove into
the anti war protests surrounding WW two, and that would
cost him his Rotzi spot, meaning he could no longer
(24:49):
defer his conscription, not wanting to be drafted, he just
enlisted March forty three. Fort Bragg Howitzer Operator and Mechanic
nineteen forty four is a rough one. Mom decides to
call it a life on her own. Vonnegut deployed with
the one hundred and sixth the Battle of the Bulge.
During that fight, he has captured with about fifty other
soldiers taken by box car to Dresden. The train is
(25:13):
attacked and bombed by the Allies. About one hundred and
fifty people are killed. He survives. He is held in
a slaughterhouse as a prisoner of war, and while he
was there, February thirteenth, nineteen forty five, the fire bombing
of Dresden, Allied forces basically level the city burn it
to the ground. Ninety percent of the city is destroyed,
twenty five thousand civilians killed. He survives because they took
(25:36):
shelter in a meat locker that was three stories underground
slaughterhouse pattern. Patten's Third Army would rescue him and his
fellow Americans back to the US discharge. Purple Heart gets
married at twenty two to his high school sweetheart, Jane
enrolls at the University of Chicago. On the GI bill
his master's thesis. He asked if he could just submit
(25:57):
a novel instead, and they said sure. It was Kat's Cradle,
so I would assume that he got pretty good grades there.
Gets a job as a publicist at ge but his
wife Jane convinces him to keep writing on the side.
He gets a short story published in Colliers and that
convinces him to say, effitt, I'm quitting g and we're
moving to Cape cod His first novel, Player Piano Scribner's
(26:19):
publishes it. New York Times loves it. Several editions are published, successful,
makes a bunch of money, thinks he's going to be
the next great sci fi writer, but nothing after that.
Catches On has three quicks, weird how that works, has
three kids, no income, saved some short stories that were
being published. His sister Alice dies two days after her
(26:40):
husband was killed in a train wreck, so he adopts
their three kids. And I always got six kids, and
you know, by grace, I guess his books start to
catch on. Mother Night Sirens of Titan Kat's Cradle is published.
That's a big one. He gets hired to teach at
the University of Iowa. While there he writes Slaughterhouse Five.
He immediately went to number one on the New York
Times Best Sellers list. It was sixty nine. Nam resonates
(27:03):
he becomes a star like a legitimate celebrity, speaking tours Harvard,
The whole Thing, breakfasted, Champions followed, and Slaughterhouse Five was
the centerpiece of a landmark case with the Supreme Court.
Island Tree School District versus Pico ruled the school district's
(27:25):
ban of Slaughterhouse Five, which the board called quote anti American,
anti Christian, anti Semitic, and just playing filthy was unconstitutional.
Kurt Vonnegut also most importantly had a cameo went back
to school. Happy Birthday, World War Two veteran Kurt Vonnega Jr.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
All Right, Matt, for you're a live guy. Birthday of
the day. We have Jamaican news. It's Jamaica News.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Z yump Rostin.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Daily celebrated Jamaican singer by the name of Half Pint, Yes,
half Pints because of his small stature. Andrew Roberts, sixty
three years old today came from Waterhouse, West Kingston, same
place as Bob Marley Lee, Scratch, Perry Toot, Timbert Peter
Tosh started his career singing in the choir at the
(28:20):
All Saints Primary School. That's very universal approach to the Saints.
Why choose one when you can have all Saints?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Oh yeah, got them all.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
He started touring with all the cool sound systems of
the times, Matt Jammies, Black Scorpio. In the early eighties,
he started recording hits Winsome, the song level the vibes
substitute Lover two to one. This era of Jamaican singing,
(28:54):
especially from Half Pint, became very influential in the immediate future.
His song Winsome from nineteen eighty three was covered by
The Rolling Stones three years later, but they renamed the
song too Rude if you want to look it up.
He was on the Mighty Quinn soundtrack Break nineteen eighty
(29:17):
nine undercover Jamaican movie with Denzel Washington. The real guys
that he inspired a little bit later, about ten years later,
were Bradley Knowle of Sublime, Ah Cool and the song
What I Got is a cover of his song Loving.
So that's a straight up lift from Half Pint and
(29:39):
most of the California reggae thing him along with guys
like Barrington.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Levy did half Pipe, did half Pint use the word
ryot as well in his song loving.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
No, but I believe he did use Mexican from a
difference do. I don't believe he said, don't start a
ryot loves what I got, don't start no. I think
it's the lovey that's the part, is it? But he
is an inspirational figure in that whole reggae California thing,
(30:10):
and unlike most other Jamaican artists, he owns the rights
most of his song nice. He's been featured with artists
like Long Beach, Douball Stars, Lucky Boys, Confusion. He was
presented the key to the city of Fort Lauderdale in
the early two.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Thousand to get freaking presented with the cheta for Lauderdale when.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
You So Much Lauderdale. He went on tour with Slightly Stupid,
and he's toured with everybody from Anthony B to Tony
rebel Man. Uh he's playing a show or He last
played a show in June in Boonville, California, which I
(30:53):
believe has something to do with Tim Keats, ancestor Daniel
Boone and they had Daniel Boone loved reggae and smoking
super dubes, so they had a Yeah, they have a
big Daniel Boone reggae fast out there in Booneville. I
don't think the Kate's family goes because of the more
(31:15):
of an anti drug, straight edge family. So is there
a good time now to introduce like a new Clippers
like pregame before the pregame like we have with Dodgers.
Is there a sponsor that's interested there?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I mean, you got a you got a revenge game
for Shake Gilgess, Alexander or as opposed to revenge. It's
just a sad reminder of what could have been really.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Brought to you by one of Matt's favorite wines, Chateau Monteena.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Oh you ain't kidding. I just cracked a bottle of
that open.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
That guy never came out.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I think I think they wanted to kind of throw
me out. I think they were getting nervous. I think
because my voice carries they could hear me talking about
it through the door, and they kept popping their head in,
like we gotta we gotta count on them. You gotta
count on.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
The justin, You got to count on all the saucles.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
This guy said, draw you. Other's an Esosceles right in
front of me, and it's open and it's got the
cork in it. They'll never know, no one will know.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Just replace him with your wine stench urine.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Exactly right.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
He'll never be allowed back. And Galpin has fired you.

and enjoying having the time of his life. A week
from Thursday, we're going to be at the Torrance BJS
(01:49):
at two o'clock right, Yes, a week from Thursday. And
some people texted me when our next remote is. Our
next remote is a week from Thursday at the Torrance
b Jays. If you're in a flash mob, do not come.
Everybody else is welcome Torrance Bjays Thursday. But right now
it's time for the Word of the day.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
With his words the word of the day.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Today's word of the day is Yale. Yale has just
announced a Beyonce class let Yale, one of the most
prodigious universities on Earth. He's going to have a class
on Beyonce not quite Skull and Bones next semester twenty
(02:37):
twenty five. Daphne Brooks, an African American and Women's and
Gender Studies professor, will be teaching a class on the
evolution of Beyonce's career, sound, Fashion, Digital Media. Now, Matt,
(02:59):
when I was a USC there was a Beatles class
that was very popular. Yeah, I think quite a few. Yeah,
they do that. Yeah, Now, I thought that that was
pretty cool at that time. You know, I took a
class on movies that were inspired that inspired hip hop,
like Superfly and Scarface and The Map and The King
(03:22):
of New York. A Beyonce class at Yale, though, to
me all these years later, does seem terrible. But who
am I to say, I'm not Ivy League material.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I did look up that Beatles class to see if
it was still offered at USC, and now they've added
David Bowie and the Stones, which makes me wonder, Matt,
if they show the dancing in the streets with Bowie
and Mick in.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
The video was a tipping point moment.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well, they are just super into each other most definitely,
because that would be like the end of the semi as,
the like when do you play that?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
When do you show this happened in the nineteen eighties.
Notice the shirt tucked in button to the top and
the suggestive dancing with each other, which we needs to How.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Are you gonna keep them down on the farm after
they see Carl Hunger's you know you sit there the
whole year. The Beatles class is also morphed into a masculinity.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Class because you know, huh.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
We've all got to identify something.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Well, give me a Romstein class and then I'll listen up.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Well, Matt, if you're in luck, they're offering one at
cal State Baker's feel Oh yeah, I know that they
will show all the single ye ladies in the Yale
Skull and Bones class. You know they're gonna show that.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Be Off iconic dance, one of the most iconic videos
in the history of the format.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And she stole the dance like move for move. I
wonder if they'll show that.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Of course, then it's Yale, for God's sake.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And do you think all those Yale's you know when
they see those thick bodies bouncing around them, they're all
gonna stand up and have a bonner. Anyway, food for thought.
Beyonce class at Yale. Not quite a Beatles class, but Beyonce.
(05:13):
Not Bob Dylan, but Beyonce. Can we have like an
Aretha Franklin class before Beyonce gets a class? I take
that right, We're like a Laura Nero. Get like a
Laura Nero class?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Did you get that going split end slash crowded house class?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I mean anything? Here is now time for the number
of the same top number of the day.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Well, the number of the day is twenty six. We
discussed it at the top of the show. It's the
twenty sixth annual Galpin Motors Golf Classic. They do it
as it benefits the Heart Foundation. Theheart Foundation dot org
is the site for the charity and it is a
friend of many folks around. Galpin gentleman by the name
(05:58):
of Stephen Cohen who sadly passed away in nineteen ninety
five sudden heart attack. He was only thirty five years old,
left behind a wife and two little girls. And it
is pointing out that people obviously have we pay a
ton of attention to cancer. And we've got a whole
month in the NFL where everyone's wearing pink and the
Cooman Foundation, of course, and people don't realize that, in fact,
(06:21):
it is heart disease that is the number one cause
of death for both men and women in the United States.
About a million lives are claimed annually. So they point
out and to the credit. I met his friend Mark,
who is the founder. I was talking him a little
bit earlier that they decided to do this to honor
their friend, and here they are twenty eight years later
and it's still going strong. They fund the research at
(06:41):
the Smitheart Institute at Cedar Sinai under doctor Shaw. So
it is a foundation that has raised a lot of
money and has hopefully saved a lot of lives. But
all Mark asked me to do, if we didn't mind
here on the show was please share with people to
get your screenings and make sure you take care of
yourself because it is of course a silent killer. That
(07:02):
plaque builds up and it can get you. And it
is Theheartfoundation dot org to make sure you take care
of yourself, your family, children, to get yourself checked out,
make sure your heart is all right, and heart disease
is kept at bay so the Heart Foundation dot org.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Did chat holmegrin break his pelvis.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, right, hip fracture, he's out eight to ten. Oh

although I'm sure well he should get his screenings. But yeah,

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Telvic fracture, heartfall.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Oh no, you're not going to have him to kick around. No,
and Matt, you know, just because they say red wine's
good for your heart. Yes, take it easy, take it easy,
all right.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
All right, only dust half of this bottle of lafonch.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
And I just got this text. It says, you call
yourself the commissioner of music. You sound like an old
ass fool because of the Beyonce class.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You ain't nothing but.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Listen to Survivor by Destiny's Child and tell me you
don't want to run through a brick wall a compromise
my Christianity, Ronning.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
This is a.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Song of the day.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Today's song of the Days called Veterans Days from a singer,
songwriter and musician out of Brooklyn, recording under the name
Cutworms because it's Veterans Day and the Petros and Money
Show gives a grateful salute to all of our veterans
for their heroic sacrifices for.

All right, Matt, it is time for the flip Top
story of the day. I'll clip you out, i will
put you out.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
This is the flip Top story of the day.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
It's time to show some love to Deshaun Foster and
the UCLA Bruins. Yes, Matt, it cannot be avoided. And
we said stuff about him and then they beat us,
and now it's it's bad.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
It's bad for us.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
There's no doubt Ucla has won three in a row.
I love the way that they've played the last three weeks.
We should not again have talked about them because and
they beat me. And now, as Deshaun Foster said, it's
gonna be bad, it is bad. But good for him,
(11:43):
good for those young men, and good for Martin Jarmond
who fired him after ruining his relationship with Chip Kelly. Kelly. Now,
I'm very happy for UCLA football. Yes, Iowa is down
to their fourth starting quarterback.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
They can't control that.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
But UCLA is playing much better football in November than
anyone else in Los Angeles. And as we know, UCLA
is in La. It's them, and that's see.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
I'm sure you guys don't know too much about UCLA
but our football program. But we're in LA, this is
us in USC. We I'm just basically excited. Really, yeah,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
And it took a while for that excitement to sink
in in the form of running the football and playing
angry defense. Now the Rams are searching, the Chargers also
surging UCLA surging, USC just finished a bye week and
they have a new quarterback. Oh well, I don't think
(12:53):
that's necessary. I mean, I'm trying to celebrate UCLA.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, I mean, come on, Kates, you're the one hosting
the post game.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Garber's is healthy and leading. TJ. Harden at Inglewood is
hitting the hole with fury, and he's fundamentally sound, doesn't
waste a lot of movement, real fundamentally sound action through
the contact zone. I'm impressed. Iowa, Rutgers, Nebraska. Those teams
(13:20):
have really good coaches, they really do. And Deshaun Foster
deserves credit for beating Schiano rule and Farence.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
You just better hope that you didn't say something I
beat you because he's bad.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, it is, and it's bad. I mean I don't
know what Farence said. I thought he was pretty respectful
and I'm pretty sure Sheiano didn't say anything bad. And
I know Matt Rule's a nice guy. But if that's
what DeShawn had to say about it, maybe he's talking
about Signetti, who's right on the verge of winning a
Big Ten title and taking Indiana to the playoffs, unheard
(13:58):
of and no one saw coming. They're the TCU of
twenty twenty four. But Deshaun deserves credit. He needs credit.
Good coaches make teams better as the season goes on
given the circumstances, and coach Foster has improved this team. Now,
(14:19):
if they can't finish with momentum, it'll be like a
fart in a whirlwind or a pillow if you.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Will, it's a Miller Moss special right in your pillow.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He's farting in the cellar. UCLA is going to U
dub that's in Washington. In No, it's in Seattle, yes,
but well USC is also in LA. It's US in USC,
So you're both gonna be in LA when USC and
(14:49):
UCLA play. And it's a night game this year because
they're both not good. So somebody's gonna get stabbed in
the phase.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
At least he's excited, and then.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
They're gonna play friends. Fresno's not bad, but they're certainly beatable.
Those are three very winnable games. Ucla is four and five.
They're going to a bowl based on that and the
way they've been playing. You got to give to Sean
Foster a ton of credit. Congratulations, coach. We know how
(15:19):
elated you are about the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
I'm just basically excited.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I know, I know, football guy, man, hey, I don't
have time for this football guy.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Look, Ucla has been more physically up to the battle
in the Big Ten than USC and Washington. They're right
behind Oregon as far as physically up to the battle
and the Big Ten. USC is not, and even if
they were, Lincoln Riley wouldn't allow it, and Washington is not.
Because of Fish, Ucla looks way better than they did
(15:59):
in October and and September especially, And good teams get
better as the season goes on. Good coaches make teams
better as the season goes on. And you got to
give to Sean Foster all the credit in the world.
And in the new era, the new Big Ten is
weird as hell. Indiana's undefeated Michigan sucks, but UCLA is
(16:22):
an undercover good story along with all the stuff that
normally happens Ohio State and Penn State doing the same
dance that they do every year, losing in big games
unless they play each other. But as all that stuff
has been happening, Congratulations the coach Foster at the undercover
love man. I'm just that's it. Way to go to Shawn.
(16:45):
They've kept working when idiots like us said they wouldn't
win another conference game. They kept grinding and they made
the team better. They deserve credit, they deserve fanfare. Fours up,
bring back the white guy cheerleader in shorts that Jim
Moore fire. They're Bowl eligible to Yukon. Congratulations to you,
(17:06):
Jim Morrison.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
No onn il, we need your money.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
No nil, and a haunted house that he lives in
on campus. Congratulations coach Coach Mora goes home and they
go rugulation. Ucla football is playing well and I'm the
burrito from Sam Pedrum here to celebrate that it's bad.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
You don't it's gonna be bad.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
If you're right, and Carson swesssinger right, is that the
guy's name the linebacker. He'll be on the show tomorrow.
We're having him on. He leaves the Big ten and
tackles the guy from Oaks Christian Form walk On. Nobody
knew what he could do. He's out there this year
making all kinds of plays. Six to twenty five red
(17:49):
shirt Junior Moore Park Oaks Christian High School guy. Uh,
he's been really fun to watch him and TJ Harden
the Inglewood sent no running back. So I'm be for
U C l A. And I would be remiss, Matt.
If I didn't remiss, I would I would be remiss
if I did not mention what they're doing. If I
just showed up every Monday here calling Lincoln Riley an
(18:12):
air raid guy, and Moofin and Newphing. But you got
to give them the credit. You gotta give schles Swessing
your credit to. He wears an ugly ass number number
forty nine. Maybe he's gonna maybe next year will be
like number four because he's bawling so long.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Just their hope that you didn't say something and I
beat you, because he's.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Gonna be pretty bad. It is, Matt.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
There was Mormon fury in the Holy War between b YU,
Yes it is true and Utah make way, Oh make
ways right.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Say hey it's me Why you.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Today? Is it dead lying day? Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
No, right, no way, and I'll be the first on
my block. Two click.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Here I come through the reply lovely. Now people are
very upset about the officiating these days in college football
because you know, with the Miami stuff three weeks in
a row, they couldn't save him against Georgia Tech.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
But with should have ever joined the Big Twelve? We
didn't sign up for this.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Well here is after what was conceived to be a
petty holding penalty, but some more camera angles have shown that.
I mean it was a penalty, but what what was
conceived to be a petty holding penalty that kept the
b YU game winning drive going at the end of
the Holy War and kept by U undefeated. Really upset
(19:51):
and he's always been a bit of a firecracker. Utah,
a d former South Florida guy Mark Harlan who just
took took to the state, gave a brief statement and
stormed off. This game was absolutely stolen from us. We
were excited about leaving Big Twelve.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
But tonight I am not sure we won this game
someone else stolen from us.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, very disappointed. I will talk to the commissioner.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Boo, this was not fair to our team. I'm disgusted
by the professionalism. Yes of the asiating.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
It would be lack of perfek you thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, lack of them. I like how they in the
in the write up, he has not met with the
media recently after a game. Yeah, ads don't meet with
the media act.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I've never never heard of it. They just don't. That's
not what happens. Forty thousand dollars. He was fine today.
Utah ad Mark Harlan for his comments about Big twelve
officiating and hey, I mean, I understand your frustration, but
taking the mic like that and getting all puffed up
(21:01):
is kind of like saying Cam Rising is gonna play
every week. Oh wa, anyway, forget it.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I mean, you shoot, you shoot stealing Home summer school.
That's just you're not getting residuals off that. It's not
like they pay you. I mean, that's that's a lot
of money for Mark to lose. Thank you, forty grant.
Stealing Home is a great movie. Thank you, Thank you
for acknowledging that. Matt And finally, Mattuh. You don't often
(21:26):
get You get people quoting the Bible from time to
time in football all the time, actually, but you very
rarely get the quote from the Book of Mormon. And
that's how meaningful this victory was for BYU. Here's coach
Kalati sid Hockey postgame frinds tonight. That allowed b YU
to find a way and keep this thing rolling and
what has been a magical season.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Keep believing, Keep believing, shared the scripture Heliman, chapter five,
verse twelve.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
You build a.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Strong foundation, I can withstand anything and it won't fail.
So these guys believed in it from the very beginning.
They bought into everything we've asked it too. And this
is the result of it. I mean, it worked out.
Our favor, grit got credit to you saw they had
a great game plan.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
But man, this is this is what this game should
be about. I don't mind the boring.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Losses, but this one's gotta be It's got to feel good,
especially with all the BYU fans. They've been on the
other side of this before.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I'm happy for all of them. Again.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
A foundation, it's good stuff, right there. Quote the Book
of Mormons.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Sweet the last time I met with Klaate Sataki was
on the road and we were doing a zoom and
he's like, Hey, I'm gonna go eat Petros. I've got
a real nice salad made for myself. And I said, already, coach.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
He goes, oh, yeah, right, good joke. Right, I'm going
to eat a side of beef and a loaf of bread.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Eh yeah, right, huh, okay, we'll be back with your
dad and Alive Guy. Birthday of the Day with Ernesto
Gallo and me Petrons. That's right, Clippers are in okac
(23:06):
the what could have been for the Clippers game coming
up a matter of moments and Pettersen Buddy Show only
two hours today and it's the same Wednesday and Friday. Yeah,
a lot of flex alerts, but that's what it is.
Clipper basketball action in the afternoon when they're at Middle America. Way,
do you get a load of what it's like when
they're back east so Garthen matters more. Well, yeah, but
(23:30):
they're not playing at Omaha tonight. Be sweet if they
were pretty close though, Oklahoma City and we will head
there in a moment. You can always podcast everything. And
now it's time for the Dead Guy birthday of the day.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, on Veterans Day, we celebrate a great veteran one
of my I think I can say one of our
favorite authors. Happy would have been one hundred and second
to Kurt Vonnegut Junior. Born in Indy. Father Kurt Senior,
incredibly successful and famous architect, older brother incredibly successful famous chemist.
Both parents son and daughter of German immigrants. After WW one,
(24:06):
family abandoned speaking German in the home. He grew up
with a strong anti German sentiment and American patriotism. The
Great Depression would wipe out the family's fortune. Nobody building
anything because they were all broke. Made for a rough
middle and high school years for Kirk Junior, but exceptional
student editor of the school paper. Went to Cornell as
a biochemistry major, per his father and older brother imploring
(24:29):
him to study something that would provide no matter of
the economic state of the nation. But he still wanted
to write, so he applied for campaign for and became
the editor of the Cornell Daily Sun. Had his own
column that became very popular around campus. He dove into
the anti war protests surrounding WW two, and that would
cost him his Rotzi spot, meaning he could no longer
(24:49):
defer his conscription, not wanting to be drafted, he just
enlisted March forty three. Fort Bragg Howitzer Operator and Mechanic
nineteen forty four is a rough one. Mom decides to
call it a life on her own. Vonnegut deployed with
the one hundred and sixth the Battle of the Bulge.
During that fight, he has captured with about fifty other
soldiers taken by box car to Dresden. The train is
(25:13):
attacked and bombed by the Allies. About one hundred and
fifty people are killed. He survives. He is held in
a slaughterhouse as a prisoner of war, and while he
was there, February thirteenth, nineteen forty five, the fire bombing
of Dresden, Allied forces basically level the city burn it
to the ground. Ninety percent of the city is destroyed,
twenty five thousand civilians killed. He survives because they took
(25:36):
shelter in a meat locker that was three stories underground
slaughterhouse pattern. Patten's Third Army would rescue him and his
fellow Americans back to the US discharge. Purple Heart gets
married at twenty two to his high school sweetheart, Jane
enrolls at the University of Chicago. On the GI bill
his master's thesis. He asked if he could just submit
(25:57):
a novel instead, and they said sure. It was Kat's Cradle,
so I would assume that he got pretty good grades there.
Gets a job as a publicist at ge but his
wife Jane convinces him to keep writing on the side.
He gets a short story published in Colliers and that
convinces him to say, effitt, I'm quitting g and we're
moving to Cape cod His first novel, Player Piano Scribner's
(26:19):
publishes it. New York Times loves it. Several editions are published, successful,
makes a bunch of money, thinks he's going to be
the next great sci fi writer, but nothing after that.
Catches On has three quicks, weird how that works, has
three kids, no income, saved some short stories that were
being published. His sister Alice dies two days after her
(26:40):
husband was killed in a train wreck, so he adopts
their three kids. And I always got six kids, and
you know, by grace, I guess his books start to
catch on. Mother Night Sirens of Titan Kat's Cradle is published.
That's a big one. He gets hired to teach at
the University of Iowa. While there he writes Slaughterhouse Five.
He immediately went to number one on the New York
Times Best Sellers list. It was sixty nine. Nam resonates
(27:03):
he becomes a star like a legitimate celebrity, speaking tours Harvard,
The whole Thing, breakfasted, Champions followed, and Slaughterhouse Five was
the centerpiece of a landmark case with the Supreme Court.
Island Tree School District versus Pico ruled the school district's
(27:25):
ban of Slaughterhouse Five, which the board called quote anti American,
anti Christian, anti Semitic, and just playing filthy was unconstitutional.
Kurt Vonnegut also most importantly had a cameo went back
to school. Happy Birthday, World War Two veteran Kurt Vonnega Jr.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
All Right, Matt, for you're a live guy. Birthday of
the day. We have Jamaican news. It's Jamaica News.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Z yump Rostin.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Daily celebrated Jamaican singer by the name of Half Pint, Yes,
half Pints because of his small stature. Andrew Roberts, sixty
three years old today came from Waterhouse, West Kingston, same
place as Bob Marley Lee, Scratch, Perry Toot, Timbert Peter
Tosh started his career singing in the choir at the
(28:20):
All Saints Primary School. That's very universal approach to the Saints.
Why choose one when you can have all Saints?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Oh yeah, got them all.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
He started touring with all the cool sound systems of
the times, Matt Jammies, Black Scorpio. In the early eighties,
he started recording hits Winsome, the song level the vibes
substitute Lover two to one. This era of Jamaican singing,
(28:54):
especially from Half Pint, became very influential in the immediate future.
His song Winsome from nineteen eighty three was covered by
The Rolling Stones three years later, but they renamed the
song too Rude if you want to look it up.
He was on the Mighty Quinn soundtrack Break nineteen eighty
(29:17):
nine undercover Jamaican movie with Denzel Washington. The real guys
that he inspired a little bit later, about ten years later,
were Bradley Knowle of Sublime, Ah Cool and the song
What I Got is a cover of his song Loving.
So that's a straight up lift from Half Pint and
(29:39):
most of the California reggae thing him along with guys
like Barrington.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Levy did half Pipe, did half Pint use the word
ryot as well in his song loving.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
No, but I believe he did use Mexican from a
difference do. I don't believe he said, don't start a
ryot loves what I got, don't start no. I think
it's the lovey that's the part, is it? But he
is an inspirational figure in that whole reggae California thing,
(30:10):
and unlike most other Jamaican artists, he owns the rights
most of his song nice. He's been featured with artists
like Long Beach, Douball Stars, Lucky Boys, Confusion. He was
presented the key to the city of Fort Lauderdale in
the early two.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Thousand to get freaking presented with the cheta for Lauderdale when.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
You So Much Lauderdale. He went on tour with Slightly Stupid,
and he's toured with everybody from Anthony B to Tony
rebel Man. Uh he's playing a show or He last
played a show in June in Boonville, California, which I
(30:53):
believe has something to do with Tim Keats, ancestor Daniel
Boone and they had Daniel Boone loved reggae and smoking
super dubes, so they had a Yeah, they have a
big Daniel Boone reggae fast out there in Booneville. I
don't think the Kate's family goes because of the more
(31:15):
of an anti drug, straight edge family. So is there
a good time now to introduce like a new Clippers
like pregame before the pregame like we have with Dodgers.
Is there a sponsor that's interested there?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I mean, you got a you got a revenge game
for Shake Gilgess, Alexander or as opposed to revenge. It's
just a sad reminder of what could have been really.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Brought to you by one of Matt's favorite wines, Chateau Monteena.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Oh you ain't kidding. I just cracked a bottle of
that open.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
That guy never came out.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I think I think they wanted to kind of throw
me out. I think they were getting nervous. I think
because my voice carries they could hear me talking about
it through the door, and they kept popping their head in,
like we gotta we gotta count on them. You gotta
count on.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
The justin, You got to count on all the saucles.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
This guy said, draw you. Other's an Esosceles right in
front of me, and it's open and it's got the
cork in it. They'll never know, no one will know.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Just replace him with your wine stench urine.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Exactly right.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
He'll never be allowed back. And Galpin has fired you.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yes, Galpin's fired me. I've never I'm on the I've
been Yeah in eighty six from Sherwood Country Club forever.
Jev hates me, but mayn that was great wine.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
