Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yeah, I tell myself a moon will rise from my darkness.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
No, you know, they BetUS some money.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
A five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Just a two hour show. This our final hour. We're
out of here about three fifty five. Adam also gonna
be long at four for Clipper pregame tip off against
the Rockets at five. Same on Friday, same two teams,
same schedule. Tomorrow we'll have Thursday at football, so we'll
be on two until five pm. If you missed the

(00:32):
first hour, you missed a UCLA football conversation and a
hoops conversation at comversus NBA Cup Action.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah, it's a weird deal, you know. Look, I just
got this text Matt from the five six two today
Mick Cronin goes on Rogan and sometimes Rodney and now
sweet James stood you two up now two were getting
treated like a couple of cock punks today that signed
the law.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Oh hey, I saw billboard man. He's got a billboard
up right now.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
For the lodge in Orange County. In Orange County.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
No, it's right by the what it's right by the
plant right before the right north of the seven to ten,
coming up on the S curve there, the South Bay Curve.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
You're trying to creep into the Gateway cities. That's our turf, right,
it's Carson. It's basically Carson. How dare you sir? Well,
that's the South Bay. You can't be there. Nope, that's
not cool. The point is, look, sweet James and James Worthy,
both of our james Is who are Wednesday staples around

(01:39):
here most of the time this time of year especially,
they are both traveling internationally. James Worthy has documented his
travels on Twitter and Instagram. He's in Dubai doing his
NBA Dubai trip. But they will both be available for
this show again tomorrow. Am I wrong? Kids? I don't

(01:59):
believe I'm wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
I don't think you're wrong.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
So we will have those guys on tomorrow just to
show that we're not going to get cocked. Okay, striking
down to night. All right, Matt, it is time and
this is big time because the last time we talked
about the podcast by Paul George, one of our great

(02:22):
sound bites of all time, which is what they got
you doing training? Uh So here we go with the
word of the day. His words, the word of the day.
You didn't you didn't think a guy that had a podcast,
you know, And often say, Matt, when somebody gets a
little upset with the show, or somebody calls ASA and

(02:43):
they get you doing Yeah, somebody calls and says, hey,
I didn't I didn't take kindly to what you said
about this, or I didn't take kindly to what you
said about that. What you said got up underneath the skin.
You know. Sometimes sometimes if somebody confronts me with that,
or confronts a friend with that, you know, he didn't
like what you said, who do you want me to

(03:05):
tell him? You know, like something like that, right, Sometimes
I answer sometimes with hey, don't get in an ink
fight with an octopus, basically meaning the Petrosen Money Show
has four hours a day basically to scort to squirt
ink all over you. Well, you just stand there and

(03:27):
wear it in the faith. So and I would be
reluctant to say sometimes I just apologize straight out, Matt,
But you know, that is sometimes one of my one
of my responses. I'd be reluctant to say that podcast
pee is the same way you can't say anything bad

(03:49):
about Paul George because he's got that podcast.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
He can attack, you can.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Come back and attack, and you know what he's attacking.
Much like just like don Quixote attacking windmills, he's attacking
the Wall. The Wall called out Paul George, remember they
boot him. He called them dumb, and then the Wall said,

(04:15):
watch a mouth. I guess the Wall speaks with one
collective voice like the Children and the Pink Floyd album.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
The Wall, since I can see that.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
They don't need no education and here it comes podcast
p responding to the Wall.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
I did not call Clippers the B team. I said
it felt like the B team just because of everywhere
you go, people in LA say you should be a Laker,
you should be a Laker. That wasn't minimized minimizing. That
wasn't you know, downplaying or you know, I was a Clipper,
like that's who I chose to play for, Like I

(04:54):
wasn't you know, comparing them and saying that they were
underneath the Lakers. It was just how LA interprets that
or how LA treats players that are in LA, like
they think you should be a Laker. They think there's
not another team there. Yeah, So that that was where
that comment was from. But they proved me right. They
didn't pack out and they and they aren't packing out

(05:18):
into it. Don't like, that's y'all home, that's your team.
Go support them, like, go be there every night, Go
show that this is who our players are, this is
who our team is. Like I didn't understand it. You know, again,
I was a free agent. It's not like I asked
to get out of a contract or asks to leave.
If y'all knew the whole transcript of how it played out,

(05:42):
you know, you know, they would understand where it came from.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Okay, I I would say, maybe he's got a point
about they're not filling up the wall, but it also
costs seventy bucks to.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Park, right, Matt, there is that one hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
And I would gently push back again and say, Paul
George isn't even playing tonight.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Well, I'm back in his defense.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, and neither is Embiid. And I will also say this,
I say, Sasa that it wasn't just the wall and
into it that bowed Paul George. He was also booed
mercilessly at Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
So I remember that Paul George, Chris Paul mercilessly.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
So that's Paul George. Don't get in an ink fight
with an octopus the wall and Clipper fans, because he's
going to come right back at you, gunning for your legs.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
And would they get you doing training?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
He's trained up to do it. It's a great podcaster.
Time of the number of the day. The number of
the day.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Make sure I get this right. Number of the day
is exactly because we got one. More so, number of
the day is eleven. Just updated about an hour and
a half ago, so it was thirteen. It is now
down to eleven. Follow up South Carolina escaped monkeys macaws.
Thirty two now have been returned of the forty three.

(07:21):
How did the Yamassi South Carolina Monkey Island Alpha Genesis
Laboratories monkeys find their way back to becoming research animals?

Speaker 1 (07:33):
I know they captured one and there was still all
of them left.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
And now now they're time just eleven.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, they're being captured in droves. I did get a
corrections and retractions from some of the people that live
there that are p It's Beaufort. It's different than the
way they spell corrections and retractions. Beaufort, Beauford Buford Spelfort,
not Beaufort, Yeah, Beufford.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah. I was still doing the the frone right.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Well, remember Matt, you know, remember Matt when we had
the big murder trial that was there a couple of
years ago. Yes, and everybody's name was a certain name,
but they pronounced it completely different than the spelling murder.
You know. It was like Murdoch, you mean.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
No murder, Yeah, not Murdoc. Yeah, Murdo's a whole weird
exactly right, weird redheads.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah. So I'm a cause, are these the same apes
that were screaming during the Dodger highlights?

Speaker 3 (08:28):
The same ones, exact same ones. They get them with
what what else? Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, man.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Now, the ones that you warm up in your hand,
the ones that you use on the charger plane.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
I don't know if these are the young crustables, but
it said that the meal of peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches is what was used to get them to return,
along with fruit loops. So you get a little little
free advertising there for the Kellogg's. PP and J could
be anything. It could be Jiff, it could be Peter Pan,
it could be Skippy It could be smuckers, It could
be nots, It could be anything, could be super grape

(09:04):
in one tube together, who knows. But the fruit loops
gets the free pub. If you want to eat like
a macab primate, then fruit loops are for you. Now,
apparently this has called into question the politicians looking to
capitalize on whether or not what is this Alpha Genesis joint?

(09:25):
What is this experimentation laboratory? What is the nineteen million
dollars in federal funding going for if we got forty
three monkeys running around eating PB and J and fruit
loops and apparently this is a bad scene.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Man.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Monkeys after kind of sniffing or you know, NCAA comes
sniffing around, they're gonna find something s don't want to
be come sniffing around. Well, yeah, monkeys have frozen to death,
died of dehydration, been killed by other distressed primates. Oh no,
they've escaped before. They have been sighted by federal inspectors

(10:04):
for violating the Animal Welfare Act as recently as twenty two.
And now we could find that things could get sideways
here for Alpha Genesis thanks to these forty three brave
souls that escaped to raise awareness for their situation and

(10:24):
the trauma that they are enduring. So may our forty
three strong save the other two or three thousand, whatever
the hell the eleven that are still out there, like
that dude, that Japanese soldier that stayed in the forest
for forty years. The Philippines, Yeah, exactly in the Philippines.
Well in the world of science. We accept our victories

(10:45):
as with our defeats.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Good luck to the monkeys, quiet, dignity, and grace. Ruddy.
This is the song of the day. Doo doo dada.

(11:08):
We'll be back with more great sports talk, a top
story of the day headed your way, and don't worry,
we'll catch up with sweet James tomorrow. We got a
lot of legal questions. I wont to know if you
can sue somebody for wasting their time. Well, thank you
for listening on this. We just won't be defeated Wednesday.

(11:29):
The Petros and money show ing our way through the day.
Everybody feeling good about a big Clipper Houston Rockets matchup.
At the end of this out you will get you
to fully functional employee. Adam. It's like reverse cialis right

(11:51):
into your face right now. It's time for the top
story of the day, top story of it.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Got to give him credit. Oh no neck, Oh no neck.
Brian Winhorst happy to hey.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
He's got a neck. Now it's just flappier like a wizard.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Yeah he yes, exactly with the the shots.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Good for him. I hope he gets healthy, you know.
Love to see it.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
He's got a podcast. It's called The Hoop Collective for
round ball junkies. I've listened to it a few times.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
It's fine, I do. It's awesome, a better suite like
ten Takes from Kyle Branton.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Oh, ten takes in ten minutes. Because that's what I want.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I do.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Appreciate it because he brings on reporters to report, he
brings on analysts to analyze, coaches to coach. All that
everyone stays in their lane. Appreciate that, wind Horse. I
never thought i'd see the day pee, But again, here
we are perhaps the most polarizing player and the history
of the association. Oh no neck taking a shot?

Speaker 4 (12:48):
What?

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yes? What at the man? Excuse him? Where he is?

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Yes, Now he's not taking a shot at Lebron. He's
taking a shot at his kid. Maybe he's not taking
a shot at his kid. He's taking a shot at
how how this thing is playing out. Now, I will
spare you the five hundred qualifiers he begins with in
the hopes that Lebron doesn't demand he'd be fired, burn

(13:15):
his house to the ground, wipe dog poop on the
insides of his car door handles.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
You don't want to end up like Rachel Nichols.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
No, but we discussed this yesterday or Michelle Beadle or
maybe the day before, where we just kind of went
through the G League schedule and we were like, oh, yeah,
you know, they played at home, sold out. Hey, going
up to Santa Cruz, Yeah, gonna be great, gonna be
great up there, sold out as well, So hey, may
you know and people were talking about, you know, this
is good for the gadomiclein set. It's'n be great for

(13:43):
the G League. You know, good players in there, nobody
gets to see them. But now you're going to pack
these arenas and that's great. Good for these guys that are,
you know, taking a little bit of a tougher path
to make it.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
To the NBA.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
They're going to get some juice energy in these arenas
and then he'll be back here playing the South Bay
Lakers contest again Stockton the King's G League team. But uh,
apparently that's that's not how this is gonna work. What
do you mean, Matt, Well, here's uh, here's Windhorse with
the details.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
From my understanding, he's only going to play in the
South Bay Lakers one games that he's only going to
kind of be a part time G League player, and
he's not he's not getting on United airlines and going
to fly and go see these, uh, these other teams,
the others. He's playing his road games now because honestly,

(14:30):
like I know, he was getting so much better treatment
and nepotism. That's fine, Honestly, I don't I don't care.
Like I said, it's normal. Now, I think it's actually
detrimental to him.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
I don't like that.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
I don't know whose idea it was. Obviously the Lakers
are oh fine with it, they're doing it. I've now
on this particular instance, I think that's gone too far
and I and I don't think that benefits Browny. I
don't think it benefits the South Bay Lakers, and I
don't think it benefits lebron At that point, I think
it much better if Bronnie was a more developed player

(15:03):
by February or March by playing in G League road games.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Wow, look who grew a knack all of a sudden
right turns out not look, I get it.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Whatever, he's a megastar. He's got ten million Instagram followers.
G League travels commercial, They don't charter how could they?
They don't make any money?

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Then what are you doing there?

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Exactly the first mood are you doing here at all?

Speaker 1 (15:23):
You're not good enough to be on the NBA team
and you won't travel with a G League team? What
are you doing?

Speaker 3 (15:27):
This is this is partially of how it was sold
that Hey, Bronni's gonna like this is good for the
NBA because Bronni's gonna help build the G League. You know,
road teams can sell out their actual arenas because they
play in arenas. The Lakers don't play in one, and
now they can't. The G League gets zero benefit from

(15:48):
the addition of Bronnie James. He's not an NBA player,
as you said, He's nowhere near good enough to be
in the NBA, But lebron is forcing the team to
make him an NBA player because what the hell else
is he gonna do If he's not traveling with the
team when they hit the he's gonna be sitting around
the house posting YouTube.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Shorts, sitting around winn far up promo shot.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
He's gonna be with the Lakers and not getting into games.
And if he's getting into games, he's got no business
getting into games because he's shooting sixteen percent from the
field right now, literally and has yet to make a three.
He has played in six of their ten games. He
is averaging less than three minutes. He has missed every
three point attempt he's taken. And again, he is shooting
sixteen point seven percent from the field. I don't even

(16:27):
know if he's good enough to be in the G League. No,
his only South Bay Lakers game, Brownie played thirty one minutes.
He shot twenty two percent, missed all four of his threes,
turned the ball over five times. His plus minus was
negative one. He led the team in turnovers, he led
the team in personal files, and despite playing the second
most minutes and taking the third most shots, he was
the team's sixth leading score. But he's not going on

(16:51):
the road because that doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Well, he can't be with those losers on the road.
He can't be he can't be seen with those guys.
That's like when I had DeMarco Murray and I was
trying to train him at Fox and we parked on
the golf course before we did a UCLA game, and
he just sat in the car and he said, I
can't walk through these people. It was like twenty yards

(17:16):
to the entrance of the gate.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
They have no idea who you are.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, well I said that. I said, well, you know
we're not in Dallas. He said, I don't want to
walk through people. And I was like, well, okay.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
I guess i'll see after the game.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, we're gonna go do the game. I get like,
like some people don't think that they can travel with normies,
so to speak.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
I god forbid that Bronnie have to do the NBA,
like Larry Bird and Magic Johnson and Doctor J and
Michael Jordan all had to do the NBA. It's not feasible.
The mechanics of it are just too impossible. A kid
who's six foot and could probably blend in if he

(17:55):
had on a baseball cap. I don't know, the third
or fourth best player on his high school team could
not squash a grape on his college.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Team, Oh you haven't squashed it great.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
And is only a professional basketball player because his daddy
wants him to be, can't possibly travel commercial.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
I mean it is really the final middle finger from
Clutch Sports. It's the final stroke before the shuddering little
death of being nailed by the King Matt.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
It all comes back to the same thing, and I
can't get over it. And I know people are probably
tired of hearing me say it, but and look, I
do think he is complicit in this, and I know
so his dad's doing this, and it's yes, he is
that so much of this is directed by his father.
But I keep going back to that interview when he
was asked about going back with Rich, of their interview

(18:50):
with Rich Paul, and he said, look, this is Brownie's decision.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
I was fine.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
We had options of going back to sc we had
other places. We thought he'd be a great fit. And
I said, this is up to you. It is whatever
you want, we will do. We can you can get
to the league, or you can go back to college
and continue to develop as a player and you'll probably
you know, have better prospects next year. And Rich Paul

(19:16):
said BRONI told me, no, I want to hear my
name called. I want to hear my name called.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
And that's what this was.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Even though he was picked fifty fifth, even though it
was in the second round, it didn't matter. It's what
the Lakers gave him. I don't care what JJ Reddick said.
You don't need to lecture me about what he earned.
He didn't. They gave it to him. No other team
was going to draft him. I'm glad he had his
three minute moment. I'm glad you had your name read
in the second round and everyone got to post on

(19:47):
Instagram the video of you sitting on the mouth with
your family, that clebrating.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Then taking the court with Lebron and what about cutting
down the net in Cleveland.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
You can say it's the fifty fifth pick, that we're
making too big of a deal out of this. Who
cares well, There's two sides to that one. Nick Mazela
is really good at finding players in the second round
and signing undrafted free agents. He has proven that season
in and season out. Whether it's Austin Reeves, we say

(20:17):
the same names over and over again. If it's Reeves,
if it's Scottie Pippen junior. If it's Alex Caruso, there
are Kent baysmore. This dude knows how to find talent
that he believes his coaches can develop. That's one side
of it. The other side of it is and I
know you know him as well, and he's a good guy.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
And I like Joey Buss.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
He's a good dude, and he owns he's, you know,
obviously an owner of the Lakers along with the rest
of his siblings, but he's the president of the South
Bay Lakers. You own the team, Joey, You run the team.
Lebron does not.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Don't let him do this.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
No, you tell Bronnie, you're getting your ass on the plane.
You are flying on the needled to Santa Cruz. That
is what you are doing. You will spend the season
in the G League. And there is nothing, nothing that
you can do or say about it. If you want
to quit, quit, we will cut you. There's nothing Lebron

(21:15):
can do. There's nothing Rich Paul can do, not a
goddamn thing. Lebron is not going to retire, He's not
going to demand a trade. Nothing is going to happen
other than Joey listening to lebron air his grievances, looking
up and saying, are we done? I got some work
to do here, So are we done? And make sure
Bronni is here in El segundo eight thirty am on Thursday,

(21:39):
because wheels up at nine thirty, like, just put his
ass on the plane.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Enough.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
It's this, truly, the cutting down of the nets, the
chanting in Cleveland, the postgame press conference saying it's one
of the most unbelievable moments in basketball history. Whatever, the
fact that you think you're too good to be with
players that are five times better than you.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Well, he's not too good to be with him. He's
too good to be with him on the road.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
On the road, Yes, you can play your thirty one minutes,
shoot twenty percent, miss all of your threes, and be
celebrated with that.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Don't really help the Lakers to South Bay Lakers team
create their identity year two.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yes, great for them.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Hey, guys, I know we just went on a three
game win streak on the road. Now that we're back
at home, Brownie's gonna start and play thirty two minutes.
It's gonna turn the ball over five times, shoot two
to nine from the field to be a minus one,
but you don't.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Just try to fit in around him, Try to know.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
I'm Matt. I paid my dues on the road in
my time. But I'm very much like the Brownie James
of college football announcing I don't leave LA. I only work.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
I don't do road games. Now, if you want to
play in San Diego State, I'm gonna drive down there.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
I might. I might, I mean, it depends. Will you
hire a stage manager that I like?

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I don't know what are you doing to Marco? I
can't walk through people.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Excuse me, I've been through the wars on the road.
Can't walk through people like you up at the hotel.
For God's sakes, the police escorts not gonna take us
any further. We can't break through the gate.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Geez uh, it's a travesty. Come on, Joey, Bronnie, where
are you?

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Buses leaving in five We're gonna fire you for cause
if you're not on it, like Lincoln rhymy, like that's
the funny thing.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
They cut him.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Just cut them.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
No one else is gonna sign them. If they do,
they're gonna make them do the same thing. Yeah, yeah,
we're gonna sign you for a She talked.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
To Genie Boss about Lebron and her feeling they're not
gonna do anything. They're gonna let the King continue to
nail them until he no longer has the testosterone in
his body to be able to copulate. It's you, you, Lebron,

(23:50):
You're the.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
Kid, just like the idea of like Joey's looking down
at a pad of paper. He's got his pennies writing
out of note. Lebron's screaming, and he looks up and
he just says, we done here. I got a you
got a two thirty tea time at the Rolling Hill CC.
So as long as we're done, I would love to
be moving out here.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Joey lives across the street from Bellas Verdi.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
He doesn't play that go track.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
It's a beautiful court. If you look down at Joey's notepad,
it's like Jackie Treehorn. He just drew some drum. We'll
be back with your dead and a live guy. Birthday
of the Day. We're not Afraid the fly commercial as
opposed to charter our flights back of the Plane, Petrosten

(24:34):
Buddy Show on a five seventy l a sports we
got drink tickets. That's not how we feel about Clippers rockets.
We feel like yeah, not like eh, unless it's a
real satisfactory because Clippers Rockets coming up is gonna be sweet.

(24:54):
In the City of Syrup, Houston, Texas. I talked to
Willie Fritz today. He's pregate is at four, tip off
is at five. The dead guy. Birthday of the day,
Civil War news fighting Joe Hooker a leader. He takes

(25:15):
his whiskey strong, Joe Hooker. Matt would have been two
hundred and ten years old from Hadley, Massachusetts. His granddad
a Revolutionary War captain, so sort of the aristocracy of
the American military so to speak. Early on sure of

(25:35):
English ancestry. Went to West Point also known as West
Punto fought in the Seminole Wars in eighteen sixty Chris
Wanky tough opponent.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Oh, no doubt, Peter Warreck a lot more experience than
everybody else.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
You think you get out flanked by Peter Warwick. Matt
that he fought in the Mexican Wars Mexican American Mexican
American Wars with Zach Lee Zacha Lee Taylor and former
President and Winfield Scott the famous general. He was gallant

(26:13):
in three battles. Uh And, much like some other guys
who fought in the Mexican American War, including Ulysses S. Grant,
when peacetime came around, he didn't really know what to
do with himself.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
I'm a fighter.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Turned to the ladies and the liquor and the gambling,
settled in Sonoma County, California. But when the Civil War
started he jumped on the opportunity. He got upset after
first bull run when the Union got their ass beat
wrote a letter to Abraham Lincoln and got appointed, and

(26:49):
he got put on the Army of the Potomac under
George McClellan, who ended up running against Lincoln for the
presidency some years later. He wrote, all the way to
major General, while the Army of the Potomac constantly literally
got their ass bludgeoned, shot cut up, beaten and handed

(27:12):
to them by Bobby Lee, just destroyed.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Well did that to a lot of them?

Speaker 1 (27:18):
You know?

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Well?

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yeah, that was who it was, the Army of the Potomac.
That's really the only army he was beaten up on it.
There was a lot of them, yes, And they kept
adding more.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Guys something they did have surplus.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Of, Yes, and that's what they won. Yes. In Fredericksburg,
poor Joe Hooker got shot in the foot. Everybody kept failing,
and Lincoln fired McClellan. Eventually they made him the general
of the Army of the Potomac. And he froze badly.

(27:53):
Matt oh at Chancellorsville, oh And got absolutely pummeled, and
it was called Lee's perfect Battle. Lee split his army
and ate Hooker alive, and Hooker just stood there, amazed,
did not know what to do.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Watch his men get cut down.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
One basically, yeah. The one positive was they lost Stonewall
Jackson there, okay, but Stonewall Jackson was shot by his
own guys.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
So it still you know, if all my guys aren't
out there, maybe one of your own guys is an
aiming at him.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Even though it was an accident, we claimed.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
I'm gonna claim this, I're aiming for one of my guys.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Hooker was a mess after that and he resigned. And
this is amazing the timing they kept him around. But
he resigned three days before Gettysburg. He would not have
won Gettysburg.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
He would have been dead.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
George Mead took over, and he beat Bobby Lee in
Maryland and saved the Union. Because if Bobby Lee wins
at Gettysburg, he steps on down to Washington, kicks Lincoln
door down, and they sign a treaty.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
And there is no more United States.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
No, well, there would be just be.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
It is the Northern United States. In the Southern United.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
States, it would have been treaty secession, all of it.
His poor performance, Hookers sent him west, where he continued
to work, ended up working for Sherman. A few stories
and things named after him. The term Hooker is because

(29:33):
like a Lady of the night is because Joe Hooker's
headquarters had prostitutes and whiskey. Come on, yeah, it is
his word. His headquarters was such a brothel of hookers.
He led Lincoln's funeral procession. His body reputation Matt is

(29:56):
still a subject of some dispute over the years.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Your Live, Guy Pee is British News.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
It's time for PMS, British News, unighted Kingdom, English News,
It's time for British News.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Well, this is great.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
Talk about a sliding doors moment in a history power
rock and Rollcuan lighting doors Man. Arguably, they're in the
general conversation. For some, they think it's a no brainer.
The greatest rock and roll band of all time Led
Zeppelin Happy seventy fifth Terrence James Reid, or as he

(30:34):
is known in rock and roll circles super Lungs.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
He dropped out of high school in fifteen, super Lungs
on his tracks.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Here can fellow super lungs.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
He dropped out high school at fifteen because Peter j
and the Jaywalkers wanted him to be their front man.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Ticket Why Why did the jay Walkers on him?

Speaker 3 (31:00):
Because his high school band, the Red Beats, became the
most talked about band in his town of Saint Ives.
They had a residency at the River Club. Yeah, how
about this, He's thirteen fourteen, They're the house band. People
are driving an hour plus to see this little dude.

(31:22):
Super Lungs blow it out on stage, saying it's the
biggest voice from this smallest body they'd ever heard. The
Rolling Stones became fans. They asked the jay Walkers to
support their twenty three show tour in sixty six at
their Royal Albert Hall concert packed with a who's who
of labels and record execs and producers, and artists.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
And all they could talk about is freaking Terry Reid.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
Mickey most convinced him to form a partnership the famous
producer of The Animals Donovan Jeff Back all them and
they formed a partnership that took over the UK rock scene.
Other bands started covering his songs that he was already
written when he was thirteen and fourteen, The Hollys, Crosby, Stills,
Nash and Young, to name a couple. The Stones basically

(32:07):
made him kind of like their mascot there like, we
just want you to support us no matter where we go.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
You open for us, so we can just.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
Watch you play. And how about this their US tour.
Right before they're about to leave, he gets a call
from Yardbirds guitarist Jimmy Page says, Yardbirds are splitting up.
I'm going to start a band called the New Yardbirds and.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
I want you boys.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
He's like, I want you to front the band, And
of course the New Yardbirds became led Zeppelin. So Reid says, well,
i'd love to. Hey, he's a problem of the contract.
So instead of being all bitter, Head's like, oh that's
all right, you probably wouldn't be able to afford me anyway,
they're paying me a princely so I have ayes a
gentleman recommend out of Birmingham. His name's Robert Plant. He's

(32:58):
in a band called Band of Joy. I think he'd
be perfect for you, Jimmy. Jimmy says great, and then
right before he hangs up, he's like, ah, A, by
the way.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
That drum rock just saw, this might be the best
druma I've ever saying. His name's John Portum. You got
to think about recruiting him as way.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
So Terry re a script. I've readed a script. It's
spot off.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Terry Reid has to go support the Stones, but he
tells Jimmy Page to make Robert Plant the front man
and John bonn on the drummer, so he basically creates
led Zeppelin. Of course, they go on to Superstar and
Reid continues to be one of the most sought after
support acts by the biggest bands in the world. He
opens for Jethrow, Toll f Leetwood, mac I, Contina Turner
even today or he since passed, but Chris Cornell covered

(33:44):
a few of his songs. As you can imagine. Speaking
of super lungs, Jack White. Aretha Franklin said of Reid, quote,
there are only three things happening in England right now,
the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and Terry Reid. He like
super lungs, and who doesn't, I mean, who wouldn't want
to hear us?

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Okay, well, Adam Auslin, who's breathing better. I don't know
if anybody calls him super lungs, but he has had
the deviated septum surgery. So enjoy the Clippers, Houston Rockets.
We'll be back on tomorrow at it's two o'clock
