USC at the Rose Bowl with a kickoff at seven
thirty and that big, bountiful two hour pregame beginning at
five point thirty right here on AM five seventy. And
Monday we got Monday Night football in our sister station,
All ninety eight point seven Chargers Ravens, the current five
(01:50):
and six seed in the AFC playoff.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Picture my god, we've got it all.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Well, what about the PBR The Unleash the Beast Tour

the coveted gold buckle. Get tickets a ticketmaster or keep
listening for your chance to win. Let's give away a
pair right now, some of you crazy ranchero Petrosen money listeners,
some of you Western boot types, give us a call
caller number five at eight sixty six nine eighty seven
two five to seventy eight six six nine eighty seven
(02:41):
to two five seventy. Ontario is a great place for
a rodeo.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Was that an intentional pause? What do you mean Ontario
is a great place for a rodeo?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Let me try it again. Ontario is a great place
for an airport. It's time for the top story of
the day to story of.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
It well, before we get to the before we get
to the picks, a couple couple stories, well actually really
just kind of one story. The Chargers story around the league.
You got a superstar quarterback, you got a superstar coach.
Not hard to see why the Charger is not going
to be playing their fourth primetime game in six weeks
for the first time since they announced it could happen.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
The rich just get rich or h Matt exactly, Aaron
Rodgers crying tears right, Derek Real just doesn't know what
to do, and Chargers are just riding high on the
monorail and getting flexed in flexed out Man, You're riding.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
It's big flex Man first ever flexing the Thursday night
Amazon Prime Chargers and Broncos moving from Sunday afternoon December
twenty second to Thursday night, December nineteenth. Thursday, of course
a bit of a hit for both teams instead of
getting a full week of rest, but considering the Chargers
will be the home team coming off a home game
on the short week gives them a small advantage in
(04:10):
a disadvantageous situation overall. But the Chargers are a team
that had their buy all the way back in Week four,
the earliest possible week, and Thursday night football gives you
many buy ten days off before they hit the East Coast,
the farthest they can possibly travel for any game in
a season, New England in late December for a ten
(04:31):
am kick against the Patriots. So maybe overall, especially at
being just two weeks before the playoffs start, if they
can keep this thing going, not such a bad thing
if the team keeps up their stellar play, having won
four in a row. Currently the top wildcard team the
five seed, two back in the division, with one left
to play against Kansas City that Sunday night football game
December eighth in Kansas City. The Chiefs, of course, coming
(04:53):
in with extra rest the week prior. They will be
the Black Friday game going into that, while the Bolts
will be on back to back roadies Land of the
week before. Not ideal, but hey, win that game, just
one back and maybe on a heater, so good for
coach Harbaugh, good for the players to earn the extra
eyeballs to increase their visibility. Something that players remind you
(05:16):
when they're walking around the locker room getting ready for
kickoff on Thursday night. Call your aunties, call everybody. You're
the only thing on TV. Chargers, Broncos, you have been
flexed into Thursday night football. And may Justin Herbert give
(05:37):
as inspiring a pre enter the field tunnel talk with
his teammates as Jamis did last night prior to that win.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Check this out.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
There's not a bigger stage up until now that we
had the opportunity to show what we are about now
mixt too. Will we keep our priorities straight because it
only matters about us, not the lights, the cameras, not
the action. It's about the action. It's about our individual
action and going out there and playing our best football
tonight in front of everybody. That's the powerful testimony. Let's
(06:09):
go get them family on three two.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Three love it.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
It's not about the lights, it's not about the camera.
It's not about the action. Where about the action?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
That's right, and you know what you're about.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
After you get that win, after you upset the Steelers
who had been cruising up until this point. You do
it on national TV, you do it in a snowstorm.
God blessed his Jameis Winston instead in the pregame conversation
with the sideline reporter. God blessed him with football weather,
and he expected to deliver what God's providence was afforded him.
(06:41):
He got that postgame interview, and he wanted to make
sure he gave Prime Video a plug.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
Let his snow, Let us snow the Cleveland Grounds got
some more wins.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Baby, that's kidding.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
Have you got to tell anybody?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I just got off Amazon, and a poll about going
off Amazon.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Is gonna get hits in my house. But nine o'clock tonight,
that's how fast he is.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
It's the best.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
He's holding his stuff to bear, saying he's got to
get home, order a dub on Amazon.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Is this like a sixth football team?
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Let's see Bucks the third Bucks, Saints and then and
then Browns. It does feel like he's made the rounds though,
But way to go, Jamis. And there was no way
al Michaels wasn't gonna get himself a home game with
the way the Chargers are playing with playoff implications involved
two teams that have a combined seven wins right now,
(07:39):
we're in that slot, Cincinnati and Cleveland, the same number
as the Chargers have overall. Al was not going to
Cincinnati for one and maybe even two teams that could
already be eliminated by that point. So the Chargers and Broncos.
It's so fire in this Monday five to fifteen kick
at so Fi Ravens. The task at hand should be
(07:59):
a great one. Why should you watch two quarterbacks that
perform show up big time in the big time moments
in primetime Herbert thirty two touchdown passes in his primetime
starts on Monday Night Football. Lamar Jackson arguably the best
quarterback in Monday Night Football history, or at least recent history.
He has completed sixty nine percent of his passes twenty
touchdowns and zero interceptions in eight games. His only other
(08:24):
Monday Night Football start this year, he won seventeen to
twenty two for two to eighty one and five touchdowns,
and rush for fifty two yards on nines carries. Herbert
has completed sixty five percent of his passes, nine touchdowns
and unfortunately his last Monday Night Football was earlier this
year in Arizona, plagued by mistakes from his receivers seven
drop passes, including that fumble after the completion by.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Otherwise it would have been a great Otherwise his performance
would have been.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
It still threw for three hundred and forty nine were
zero picks. Unfortunately, too many drops out there, so should
be a great one. Lamar has been the best quarterback
in the league statistically, twenty one touchdowns to just four picks.
He's gonna rush for one thousand yards in double digit touchdowns. Herbert, though,
has been the league's best big play passer, especially the
last four weeks. On this four game win streak, he's
got six touchdowns over twenty yards that leads the NFL,
(09:11):
and seventeen as they like to classify them, big time
throws twenty plus air yards into tight coverage. Seventeen of
those are just two turnover worthy plays no interceptions, best
in the NFL. So it should be a great one
on Monday. It should be fun on Thursday to the pickspie.
Like the last week, I laid the fourteen and the
(09:33):
Lions won by forty six. They have won by thirty
plus three times this season. That typically doesn't happen in
the NFL, where the margins are slim. What else doesn't
happen is more touchdowns than incompletions. They did that again
last week. They have now done it four times this year.
The last time that has happened that many times nineteen
thirty three, Like you know, when you threw six passes
(09:55):
a game or something like that.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I do not know.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
They'll get crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
I don't know when the forward pass was installed, like
what nineteen eighteen or something. But I have no idea
what the book knows. But for whatever reason, this thing
is seven Lions at Indianapolis. It looks like two touchdowns.
They're five and zero on the road this year. So
I will gladly lay a touchdown and take Detroit. As
for the dog, I'm gonna take the Patriots. You were
(10:22):
close Matt nineteen oh six, nineteen oh six, Saint.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Louis University through Carrol repass against Carol College.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It was a hell of a day.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And then John Heisman fought for it to become legal.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Well, we got guys getting killed out of here.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
That was Teddy Roosevelt.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
The dog alert. I'm gonna take the Patriots.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
You know why, because any man who yells doesn't type,
doesn't text, but yells l Well, it's a freaking kook utral.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Phono fraction defense.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Hey have a play called Max. We didn't have a
play called Max.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
We didn't have a play called Hell. Well, ohow.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I know everybody loves Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
I think he's smart, he's funny, he's great for the NFL.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
His pressers are thoughtful or entertaining.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
But you can't be a head coach and watch Max
cross meet.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Now.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Look, I don't know the context. Maybe Max came over
and was barking at him earlier in the game or
something saying like, don't call that ass. I don't know,
but when you get when you're a head coach and
you weigh like a buck fifty soaking wet, and you
get one of the most violent players, one of the
best players in the NFL to jump on a fourth
and two and you start by, let's get it again, Kate,
(11:45):
you start barking at him.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Mitchel phonofraction defense. Hey, we didn't have a play call, Max.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
We didn't have a play called, Max, we didn't have ALLLL.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
I think the football guys are coming for you. I
just think they're coming. Drake may is good, he's playing
good football. Twenty five, twenty two, went over the Jets.
This is the Patriots last four, twenty seventeen overtime loss
to the Titans, nineteen three win over the Bears, twenty
eight twenty two loss to the Rams. And I'm getting
seven and a half from a Miami team that's feeling
it because they hammered Gardner, Minshew and the Raiders at home.
(12:26):
So I'll take the points. I'll take the seven and
a half. And I just I don't get the sense
we're gonna hear former linebacker Gerard Mayo's screaming at Kaleis Campbell.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Lol. Lol. We didn't even have a play called. Didn't
even have a play call.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Oh well, we didn't even have a play call.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yeah, yeah, it's not I mean, I've been yelled at
by opposing head coaches. Dennis Ericson yelled at me. But
it was Dennis Ericson, right, you know, it wasn't a
guy looking like he's waiting in line at Nicky Beach.
But that being said, he's the head coach of the Dolphins,
you know, lol lol lol.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Helll laugh out loud.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Yeah, you could just laugh because you don't get the
text that you can just ha ha ha. That would
be the lol because you're vocalizing, so just laugh. Hell well, hell,
Goles finally lay to six and I'm taking another road favorite.
Not great, but I'm sorry. Tommy DeVito over drew lock
Lock fighting for maybe should have been the start of
(13:28):
this season for the Giants. Yeah, he threw a bad
in t in spot duty, but Giants are clearly playing
for a top five draft pick. They cannot win any
more games. Players are belly aching over at GM. They
don't like those stories are leaking in the New York media.
Guy they think treats players poorly. Tyrod last year, McLeod
and Jones this year. They just released Daniel Jones today,
(13:50):
So lost season. Maybe coach GM all headed out the
door and They are officially in the quarterback market after
releasing Daniel, taking a twenty two million dollar dead cap
hit for next year, so they got to find a
budget quarterback. Best way to do that draft one. Currently
they are picking third, one spot ahead of the Raiders.
The Titans are ahead of them, the Jags are at one.
(14:11):
They'll likely take Travis Hunters since they just sign Trevor
Lawrence that long term deal, and the Titans will have
their choice at QBS, but with cam Ward and Shadher Sanders,
Jalen Milro whichever one they want. Giants will be up next.
Nine teams have three or fewer wins, so Giants need
to lose out these last seven, which should not be hard.
They do have the Cowboys next week, but they don't
(14:31):
typically tank, and after that, all the teams they're playing
are still in playoff position, so the de Veto thing
just seems to scream, we gotta lose some games. Mike
Evans is back for the Bucks. They resume their push
for the division, with the Falcons having a couple of
hiccups here lately. I'll lay the six and I will
take the Bucks by at least TD.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
All Right, there you go. That is the top story
of the day. Go owls at Lol. Uh, we didn't
have a play call, maxt you fell for it.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
We didn't have a play call.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Oh well, well he knows he wasn't supposed to jump.
I mean anyway. Uh uh. We'll be back with more
great sports talk on M five seventy LA Sports on
this frog Man Friday, The petros and Money Show, M
five seventy AA Sports.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Petrosen Money, AM five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio. I got a lot of play by play
going basketball tonight and Monday Night Football on Monday Chargers Ravens.
But Tomorrow night right here on AM five seventy the
culmination of Rivalry Week kicks off at seven point thirty
with a five thirty p m. Pre game, The Battle
for La The Crosstown Showdown, p and we got it
(15:51):
all right here.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
That's right man, and joining us right now to celebrate
it and to celebrate the great lot in Back Trophy,
which is getting bigger and bigger now it's with all
the Vegas Awards at the Bellagio. Joining us right now
on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity hotline. Definitely a
celebrity football royalty. Ronnie Lott, King of Riale too, four
(16:16):
time Super Bowl champion, eight Pro Bowls, Hall of Fame
of course, a national title at usc In and All
American there and in the College Football Hall of Fame.
We were talking about it, Matt, the Lot Impact Trophy
awarded annually to the nation's top defensive player. And you
got to have integrity too and make an impact on
(16:38):
and off the field, just like Ronnie Lott. And they
are going to be with the December ninth Awards at
the Bellagio in Vegas, which is pretty awesome. So joining
us right now to celebrate it all and to talk
about Rivalry week is the great Ronnie Lott. What's cracking, Ronnie?
How are you? Thanks for doing it?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Look, I'm so thankful that I had have you, you know,
sharing this and being able to work with you. But
when when you said I'm from from rialto you just
you took away my street crid man.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Oh, I'm so sorry, Ronnie.
Speaker 9 (17:21):
I'm supposed to I'm supposed to be a tough guy.
Way my street cred.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
They're not tough in Rial.
Speaker 9 (17:26):
Tell I'm like fit, They're going Oh Mary.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
People people didn't know Rialto. They all know real this way, man,
the boys is softened Rialto. But you know what, I
had to make up for it. And I'll be the
first one to tell you when we moved there, and
and and being a part of that community over the years,
(18:01):
there's nothing like it. And what I always remember about
being there is that you find yourself wanting to figure
out is there a chance to be you know, the
best you can be? And I think one of the
great things that I learned from my parents, and they
used to say this all the time, it doesn't matter
where you're at because as a military kid, we're we're traveling,
(18:22):
we're we're moving, and we're moving every four years. And
by the way, all we're gonna encourage you to do
is be your best. And so for me, I have
some great parents and they told me that even in
Rialto and you can you can be you can be
your best. And so the great thing about you know
that quest and and and It's funny because I'm looking
(18:46):
as I started talking, I'm sitting here going man, Bill Duffy.
Bill Duffy is a great basketball agent. We are friends
and growing up and playing basketball with each other and
knowing him over the years, and you know he's from
you know, Pomona, and so you know, you just all
these you know, moments in your life where you say
(19:08):
to yourself, and I just got to get a little
bit better. I just got to get a little bit better.
And and you know what you learn is that's life
is getting a little bit better every year. And that's
what this award is all about. Teaching kids and giving
them the opportunity to get a little bit better every
day and everything that you do, not just what you
(19:29):
do on the field, but everything you do off the field.
And that quality exists with so many people that I've
met over the years, and very fortunate to be able
to have a guy like Mike Sam and Mike Izzy
helping me and helping us, you know, with this award,
and it's just been phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
It's been grown, hasn't it, Ronnie. I mean going out
to Vegas, I mean this is a bigger deal.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, it is a bigger deal. And it's a bigger
deal because well, first of all, how lucky are we
that we get a chance to talk about, you know,
some of the great players that play in the college
game and here we are now most likely looking at
a guy that is one of the best players to
(20:17):
play in college football. And right now there are a
number of those guys from Notre Dame to Penn State
to Colorado. And what's interesting to me is that those
guys that are, you know, top guys are finding themselves
in this run, in this race, and they're finding themselves
(20:38):
in this race because they get a little bit better
every day. They get better every day, and they're paying attention.
They're following the idea of what it takes to be
able not just to be great on the field, but
to be great off the field. And to me, those
qualities exists with a lot of people that I watch
(20:59):
growing up, and I had the good fortunes of meeting,
you know, Jim Brown and and understanding what it was
like to not only be good, but to be good
off the field. And you know, having guys like Kaem
and others that I've met over the years that you
would sit there and you would, you know, see their
(21:20):
impact of what they were doing on the field or
on the court, or off the field, and off the court,
they had, you know, this kind of way of making
sure that they existed in helping people in all different ways.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Ronnie, you look at the winners and the finalists these
last few years and it's, you know, just let's go
the last three, right, Aiden Hutchinson, will Anderson, Junior Colson,
and you look at each of them, it's guys that
sort of waited their turn to become the star on
their team. They're not transferred guys, They're they're guys that
are the identity of their programs in the case of
a junior and will you know, in case of junior
(21:57):
and national champion, Like, what do you make of of
guys moving around year to year versus players like these
past three winners that kind of stayed and gradually got
better year after year before coming some of the best
players in football.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah, I think what's tough is and we all know
this is that, you know, as we choose to do
whatever we choose, you know, the hard part is like
staying on the course of what you believe is right.
And I think what's you know, challenging is that, yes,
(22:31):
they stayed and some guys have been able to harness
that ability to win and to be able to stay focused.
On the other side, you know, there are other you know,
opportunities where people are sitting there going this might be
my only shot, This might be my only shot to
do this, and it might be my only shot to
be able to make this. And so you know, you
(22:53):
know the question of wisdom is, you know, do you
do something that you will look back and go that
was a great decision. Wisdom is not about making the
right decision. Wisdom is about being able to hopefully say
to yourself, I think I made the right decision, and
and and and that is really you know, complicated because
(23:16):
there are so many things that come along with that,
and and so to me, you know, just knowing these
young men and knowing that this new opportunity that sits
every year out there where somebody's willing to actually give you,
you know, compensation to play the game a little bit better,
that's that's that's that's different, I mean, and it's different
(23:36):
because we haven't seen that, and so you know, there's
a different motivation that compromises your ability to think about
what's right for you and what's what's best for you.
And so it's a challenging composition. It's a challenging moment
for all athletes and every sport, especially in college right now,
(23:59):
and especially what you go through and especially the things
you know you thought that you needed to do to
get to have that kind of monies. And yet for
all of us, I mean even I mean, as I
even think about it, you know it would be it's
a complex situation.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
You had back to back winners of the Lot Impact
Trophy in thirteen and fourteen out of UCLA, Anthony Barr
and Eric Hendricks. Just your thoughts as were upon Rivalry
week just twenty four hours out really usc UCLA, how
these two teams look and how you feel about the
rivalry in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Well, it exists for a lot of reasons, and it's
going to continue to exist for a lot of reasons.
I mean, the best part about it is, you know,
I get to I get to I get to give
my son who went to U s LA, you know, Ryan,
and get I get to give him a hard time.
(24:58):
I get to do it way with a lot of love,
and and and and and and what does that mean
is that we we're always going to be yinging and
yanging about that subject because you know, of what he
felt was right for him at the time, and what
(25:19):
and what I felt was right for me at the
right time. I remember sitting there, you know, uh, thinking
to myself, you know, Terry Donahue and and and Coach
Robinson and and and knowing that you know in my
head that you know, and meeting Marcus Allen, and meeting
Dennis Smith, and meeting Eric Scott and and meeting guys
(25:42):
like that that I ended up, you know, wanting to
emulate and wanting to be and and and so it's
people like that that that I think that will you know,
help you, you know, make that decision. And I think
Ryan will tell you that, hey, there were certain guys
that he met at U c l A that helped
him make that decision. And it's usually around the composition
(26:05):
of people that you interact with that you go, you know, uh,
they smell right, they smell they smell good, they smell
like they're gonna win, and and and and and those
judgments that we have are around the quality of people.
You know, Jerry Jerry Buss. You know when when when
(26:28):
I was at sc Jerry Buss would talk to us,
and so yeah, you would go, of course he smells good.
Of course he's a winner. And so those are the
kind of you know things that you you had access
to that you would say to yourself, Yeah, that's a
great Those are great qualities of being around certain people.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
We just lost coach Robinson, uh, one of one of
the great USC men of all time.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
UH.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
And I know that, Uh. You were with him a lot.
Ronnie used to come and speak to the team when
he was the head coach. What are some of your
thoughts about Coach Robinson playing for him and then playing
against him like you did in the pros.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
I have.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Learned more about my life being with him and being
a friend of his that I have with any other
coach I've ever been associated with. And I'm so grateful
that I had a chance to be his friend, to
be a person who worked under him, a person who
(27:37):
had a chance to compete for him. And the reason
why there you got to remember like he took over
a kid that said, you know, I'm coming from rialto
and I'm coming from rialto and by the way, I
want to be like I want to be like Dennis Third,
(28:00):
I want to be man. I wanted to be like
Dennis Thurman so bad. And the reason I wanted to
be like Dennis Thurman so bad is that Dennis Thurman
was one of the greatest defensive backs I've ever seen
and knew so much about the position and and and
still is one of the greatest coaches. And my point is, like,
(28:21):
how lucky was I that I could, you know, learn
from somebody that was just gifted as Dennis and and
then that played for Coach Robinson and then to me
is his best friend John Madden and too. And to
learn all the things that I learned about just learning
(28:42):
how to win from those two guys, totally smokes man,
I can I can you know, I go on and
on and and go on and on and on forever,
because those two individuals, when you think about what their
quest was and how they felt now they would think
about the game of football, It's amazing, I mean, And
(29:06):
so how I how I see myself now? How lucky
and Ricky and Ellison and Marcus Allen and Eric Scotts
and Dennis Smith and all the guys that that I
hung out with, and we're around you know, we all
know how much Coach Robinson meant to us. And he
(29:28):
was a father figure for a lot of people and
a lot of people that he coached and and and
was just a great competitor. And when somebody tells you
that you can go on Wilson Boulevard and you could
beat the Rams, and you're and you're eighteen years old,
(29:50):
and you go, I mean we can't.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah we can.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
Okay, let's go.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
And so it was moments like that that even though
you couldn't, even though you thought that you couldn't do it,
you could do it because coach Robb was he was.
He gave you that moment. And those kind of moments
led me to having an incredible career in football and
(30:24):
in life. And there I owe him a lot for
understanding what that feeling of, Yeah we can go on
Wilship Boulevard, we can do we can win it. We
can win it, you can win whatever you want to win.
Speaker 3 (30:40):

A big thank you to everybody that came out to

Speaker 9 (31:56):
Well.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
We we got mean mugged by a couple people that

two of the tables that mean mugged us two couples

Yeah, We're here to give you a second chance, maybe

seven thirty on AMTI seventy LA Sports Tonight Friday Night
Bruin Talk Tipsy Cakes, tip off at seven. Hey, I'm
eleven fifty. All right, dude, your dead guy, birthday of
(32:39):
the day or this week beating out Alistair Cook is
a French news which we do not have a bed for. Okay, sorry,
we do have a Filipino news, but we do not
have French news. The Bohemian Bearded Lady. Paris Olympics just
(32:59):
ended a few months ago, and I will ask the
question do we show enough love to easy listening music anymore?
And the answer is no.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
No.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
I think you're right we don't.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
And now that I'm old er, I appreciate an easy
listening lifestyle. Born in the port city of Calais in France,
Today we celebrate Raymond Lefever, who was accepted into the
Paris Conservatory when he was only seventeen and then did
(33:35):
music on Paris television, came to La and played a
piano in the Hilton for a while. That's not always
just some hack. It could be a great musician there, sure,
and I'm sure speared many Francophile Angelino women around town.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
He did all of them. There are the Francophiles that
there are plenty. You can make some hay on that front.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
In the seventies, Math, Yes, you can really make some hay.
He did all the soundtracks for French Superstar actor Louis
de Funis.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
I guess I'm not up to speed on French Superstar.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
I guess he was today. Say he's one of friends,
his friends, his favorite performers. Ever, Louis de Fus unlike us,
he had his own orchestra and a long nose and
Hans Gruber VI. His biggest easy listening hit was in
the US in nineteen fifty eight, Call the Day the
(34:45):
rains came? Why did instrumental music die into us? Why
used to be able to have a hit with nobody singing?
Where are the ventures? He had more hits ten years later.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
I wish I had an answer. I don't know, Matt,
like instrumentals, you know, none of us have been to
the Capitol Records, Billy, but you you could have. You
could have fixed this soul coaxing. You had a big
hit with and the song La La La. Four times
he submitted Eurovision songs, three times for Monica, once for Luxembourg.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
France was like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Monsieur.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
He died at a weird commune in France called San
Port in two thousand and eight. He looked a lot
like Gruber, a lot really yeah, Raymond Lafeler, Well you're
a live guy. Lt. Lt.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
Livingston Taylor, look Lawrence Taylor, Livingston Taylor, James Taylor, James
Taylor's younger brother. Turns out, James Taylor has famous siblings,
and Livingston has written a few hits. Parents Ike doctor
physician in Boston, but got offered the position of dean
(36:26):
of the University of North Carolina Medical School, so moved
the family to Chapel Hill. Mom Trudy, talented musician, part
of the music conservatory in Boston. Obviously, brother James, everybody
knows two years older.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
JJT let me ask you something you a little nervous
there than I was laughed up.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
And he did what j T did, just maybe not
as well, singing and writing folk songs. And it was
a family thing, the famous and that.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Was sixteen years ago.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
More than that, maybe two thousand and eight.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Eight.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Yeah, sixteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
James Taylor looked really old.
Speaker 6 (37:01):
Yeah, sixteen years ago, and he is only seventy six today,
James Taylor, because Livingston two years younger, seventy four. Apparently
the Taylor family used to have singalongs thanks to Mom Trudy,
and it would break down as such James oncello, Alex
on violin, Kate on the dulcimer, and Livingston plucking that banjo.
(37:24):
Said they grew up on the blues of lead belly,
the banjo of Pete Seeger, and the singer songwriting of
Woody Guthrie. And Livingston shared the stories of why all
the kids became songwriters because Mom Trudy would challenge the
kids to write jingles about things around the house. They
would call him kitchen concerts and she would just like
hold up a can of Van de Kamp's green beans
(37:47):
or something and say, all right, start writing. Said the
reason why he believed he could make a career of
playing the rock and roll or the folk was because
his older brother Alex one day came home with twenty
bucks in his pocket after playing a frat party at
the University of North Carolina. So he officially began his
professional career at thirteen, nineteen sixty three, part of a
Chapel Hill folk trio with guitarist Paul Collins, singer Killy Jacker.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
We Got So Drunk and the guy saying You've Got
a Friend.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
By sixteen, he had written his first hit song locally
as a local hit, good Friends, but it was such
a big hit that he said it became part of
his set list for the next four decades whenever he
played in the Carolinas. When he was eighteen, he was
opening for Joni Mitchell got signed by Capricorn, one of
their first artists, debut Albin Livingston Taylor, produced by Landaut
who would later produce Bruce Springsteen, and included the song
(38:37):
Carolina Day, which made it out of the Billboard Hot
one hundred.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
He moved back to Boston.
Speaker 6 (38:40):
His second album, Live had Get Out of Bed, another
top another Hot one hundred song. His brother James joined
him on his third release. Routinely had guests on all
of his albums. He was widely respected in that community.
Linda Ronstack, Carly Simon, you know sister and law kind
of thing.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Oh met All didn't then, well she'd have done it anyway.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:58):
He was a successful touring musician and well liked. Had
a hosting gig which was This Week's Music. It was
called the folk music version of American Bandstand, which apparently
did not go over quite as well.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Mighty Wind.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Basically, I mean, that's that's funny. That's exactly what I thought.
Speaker 6 (39:22):
He started teaching at Berkeley School of Music in eighty nine,
kept putting out records as a bunch of kids music records.
He produces some rock music. In twenty seventeen, he had
been in the business for fifty years and Boston Mayor
Mardy Walsh and Massachusetts Governor Charlie Beka declared January eighteenth,
twenty seventeen, to be Livingston Taylor Day in Boston. Married twice,
(39:44):
no kids, Happy seventy four Livingston Taylor.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Guys, hear me out. Did you get James Taylor? No,
hear me out. Hear me out. Now I got his brother, Livingstone.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
This is it's funny you say that.
Speaker 6 (39:58):
I had a very similar situation at dream Works when
God bless him. Lenny Warren Kerr, one of the all
time great music executives. Who's I'm sure very excited about
rivalry Rique dedicated usc Trojan came in and said, guys,
we just signed Ben Taylor. I said, who's Ben Taylor,
(40:19):
James Taylor's son.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Whoa.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
It's like, all right, Lenny, we got Ben Taylor. How'd
we get him? Oh?
Speaker 6 (40:26):
You guys should sign James Taylor back in the day.
That's right, great, great, Ken Ben Taylor.
Speaker 3 (40:33):

some of you Western boot types, give us a call
caller number five at eight sixty six nine eighty seven
two five to seventy eight six six nine eighty seven
(02:41):
to two five seventy. Ontario is a great place for
a rodeo.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Was that an intentional pause? What do you mean Ontario
is a great place for a rodeo?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Let me try it again. Ontario is a great place
for an airport. It's time for the top story of
the day to story of.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
It well, before we get to the before we get
to the picks, a couple couple stories, well actually really
just kind of one story. The Chargers story around the league.
You got a superstar quarterback, you got a superstar coach.
Not hard to see why the Charger is not going
to be playing their fourth primetime game in six weeks
for the first time since they announced it could happen.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
The rich just get rich or h Matt exactly, Aaron
Rodgers crying tears right, Derek Real just doesn't know what
to do, and Chargers are just riding high on the
monorail and getting flexed in flexed out Man, You're riding.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
It's big flex Man first ever flexing the Thursday night
Amazon Prime Chargers and Broncos moving from Sunday afternoon December
twenty second to Thursday night, December nineteenth. Thursday, of course
a bit of a hit for both teams instead of
getting a full week of rest, but considering the Chargers
will be the home team coming off a home game
on the short week gives them a small advantage in
(04:10):
a disadvantageous situation overall. But the Chargers are a team
that had their buy all the way back in Week four,
the earliest possible week, and Thursday night football gives you
many buy ten days off before they hit the East Coast,
the farthest they can possibly travel for any game in
a season, New England in late December for a ten
(04:31):
am kick against the Patriots. So maybe overall, especially at
being just two weeks before the playoffs start, if they
can keep this thing going, not such a bad thing
if the team keeps up their stellar play, having won
four in a row. Currently the top wildcard team the
five seed, two back in the division, with one left
to play against Kansas City that Sunday night football game
December eighth in Kansas City. The Chiefs, of course, coming
(04:53):
in with extra rest the week prior. They will be
the Black Friday game going into that, while the Bolts
will be on back to back roadies Land of the
week before. Not ideal, but hey, win that game, just
one back and maybe on a heater, so good for
coach Harbaugh, good for the players to earn the extra
eyeballs to increase their visibility. Something that players remind you
(05:16):
when they're walking around the locker room getting ready for
kickoff on Thursday night. Call your aunties, call everybody. You're
the only thing on TV. Chargers, Broncos, you have been
flexed into Thursday night football. And may Justin Herbert give
(05:37):
as inspiring a pre enter the field tunnel talk with
his teammates as Jamis did last night prior to that win.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Check this out.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
There's not a bigger stage up until now that we
had the opportunity to show what we are about now
mixt too. Will we keep our priorities straight because it
only matters about us, not the lights, the cameras, not
the action. It's about the action. It's about our individual
action and going out there and playing our best football
tonight in front of everybody. That's the powerful testimony. Let's
(06:09):
go get them family on three two.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Three love it.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
It's not about the lights, it's not about the camera.
It's not about the action. Where about the action?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
That's right, and you know what you're about.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
After you get that win, after you upset the Steelers
who had been cruising up until this point. You do
it on national TV, you do it in a snowstorm.
God blessed his Jameis Winston instead in the pregame conversation
with the sideline reporter. God blessed him with football weather,
and he expected to deliver what God's providence was afforded him.
(06:41):
He got that postgame interview, and he wanted to make
sure he gave Prime Video a plug.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
Let his snow, Let us snow the Cleveland Grounds got
some more wins.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Baby, that's kidding.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
Have you got to tell anybody?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I just got off Amazon, and a poll about going
off Amazon.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Is gonna get hits in my house. But nine o'clock tonight,
that's how fast he is.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
It's the best.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
He's holding his stuff to bear, saying he's got to
get home, order a dub on Amazon.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Is this like a sixth football team?
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Let's see Bucks the third Bucks, Saints and then and
then Browns. It does feel like he's made the rounds though,
But way to go, Jamis. And there was no way
al Michaels wasn't gonna get himself a home game with
the way the Chargers are playing with playoff implications involved
two teams that have a combined seven wins right now,
(07:39):
we're in that slot, Cincinnati and Cleveland, the same number
as the Chargers have overall. Al was not going to
Cincinnati for one and maybe even two teams that could
already be eliminated by that point. So the Chargers and Broncos.
It's so fire in this Monday five to fifteen kick
at so Fi Ravens. The task at hand should be
(07:59):
a great one. Why should you watch two quarterbacks that
perform show up big time in the big time moments
in primetime Herbert thirty two touchdown passes in his primetime
starts on Monday Night Football. Lamar Jackson arguably the best
quarterback in Monday Night Football history, or at least recent history.
He has completed sixty nine percent of his passes twenty
touchdowns and zero interceptions in eight games. His only other
(08:24):
Monday Night Football start this year, he won seventeen to
twenty two for two to eighty one and five touchdowns,
and rush for fifty two yards on nines carries. Herbert
has completed sixty five percent of his passes, nine touchdowns
and unfortunately his last Monday Night Football was earlier this
year in Arizona, plagued by mistakes from his receivers seven
drop passes, including that fumble after the completion by.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Otherwise it would have been a great Otherwise his performance
would have been.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
It still threw for three hundred and forty nine were
zero picks. Unfortunately, too many drops out there, so should
be a great one. Lamar has been the best quarterback
in the league statistically, twenty one touchdowns to just four picks.
He's gonna rush for one thousand yards in double digit touchdowns. Herbert, though,
has been the league's best big play passer, especially the
last four weeks. On this four game win streak, he's
got six touchdowns over twenty yards that leads the NFL,
(09:11):
and seventeen as they like to classify them, big time
throws twenty plus air yards into tight coverage. Seventeen of
those are just two turnover worthy plays no interceptions, best
in the NFL. So it should be a great one
on Monday. It should be fun on Thursday to the pickspie.
Like the last week, I laid the fourteen and the
(09:33):
Lions won by forty six. They have won by thirty
plus three times this season. That typically doesn't happen in
the NFL, where the margins are slim. What else doesn't
happen is more touchdowns than incompletions. They did that again
last week. They have now done it four times this year.
The last time that has happened that many times nineteen
thirty three, Like you know, when you threw six passes
(09:55):
a game or something like that.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I do not know.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
They'll get crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
I don't know when the forward pass was installed, like
what nineteen eighteen or something. But I have no idea
what the book knows. But for whatever reason, this thing
is seven Lions at Indianapolis. It looks like two touchdowns.
They're five and zero on the road this year. So
I will gladly lay a touchdown and take Detroit. As
for the dog, I'm gonna take the Patriots. You were
(10:22):
close Matt nineteen oh six, nineteen oh six, Saint.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Louis University through Carrol repass against Carol College.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It was a hell of a day.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And then John Heisman fought for it to become legal.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Well, we got guys getting killed out of here.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
That was Teddy Roosevelt.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
The dog alert. I'm gonna take the Patriots.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
You know why, because any man who yells doesn't type,
doesn't text, but yells l Well, it's a freaking kook utral.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Phono fraction defense.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Hey have a play called Max. We didn't have a
play called Max.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
We didn't have a play called Hell. Well, ohow.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I know everybody loves Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
I think he's smart, he's funny, he's great for the NFL.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
His pressers are thoughtful or entertaining.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
But you can't be a head coach and watch Max
cross meet.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Now.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Look, I don't know the context. Maybe Max came over
and was barking at him earlier in the game or
something saying like, don't call that ass. I don't know,
but when you get when you're a head coach and
you weigh like a buck fifty soaking wet, and you
get one of the most violent players, one of the
best players in the NFL to jump on a fourth
and two and you start by, let's get it again, Kate,
(11:45):
you start barking at him.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Mitchel phonofraction defense. Hey, we didn't have a play call, Max.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
We didn't have a play called, Max, we didn't have ALLLL.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
I think the football guys are coming for you. I
just think they're coming. Drake may is good, he's playing
good football. Twenty five, twenty two, went over the Jets.
This is the Patriots last four, twenty seventeen overtime loss
to the Titans, nineteen three win over the Bears, twenty
eight twenty two loss to the Rams. And I'm getting
seven and a half from a Miami team that's feeling
it because they hammered Gardner, Minshew and the Raiders at home.
(12:26):
So I'll take the points. I'll take the seven and
a half. And I just I don't get the sense
we're gonna hear former linebacker Gerard Mayo's screaming at Kaleis Campbell.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Lol. Lol. We didn't even have a play called. Didn't
even have a play call.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Oh well, we didn't even have a play call.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yeah, yeah, it's not I mean, I've been yelled at
by opposing head coaches. Dennis Ericson yelled at me. But
it was Dennis Ericson, right, you know, it wasn't a
guy looking like he's waiting in line at Nicky Beach.
But that being said, he's the head coach of the Dolphins,
you know, lol lol lol.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Helll laugh out loud.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Yeah, you could just laugh because you don't get the
text that you can just ha ha ha. That would
be the lol because you're vocalizing, so just laugh. Hell well, hell,
Goles finally lay to six and I'm taking another road favorite.
Not great, but I'm sorry. Tommy DeVito over drew lock
Lock fighting for maybe should have been the start of
(13:28):
this season for the Giants. Yeah, he threw a bad
in t in spot duty, but Giants are clearly playing
for a top five draft pick. They cannot win any
more games. Players are belly aching over at GM. They
don't like those stories are leaking in the New York media.
Guy they think treats players poorly. Tyrod last year, McLeod
and Jones this year. They just released Daniel Jones today,
(13:50):
So lost season. Maybe coach GM all headed out the
door and They are officially in the quarterback market after
releasing Daniel, taking a twenty two million dollar dead cap
hit for next year, so they got to find a
budget quarterback. Best way to do that draft one. Currently
they are picking third, one spot ahead of the Raiders.
The Titans are ahead of them, the Jags are at one.
(14:11):
They'll likely take Travis Hunters since they just sign Trevor
Lawrence that long term deal, and the Titans will have
their choice at QBS, but with cam Ward and Shadher Sanders,
Jalen Milro whichever one they want. Giants will be up next.
Nine teams have three or fewer wins, so Giants need
to lose out these last seven, which should not be hard.
They do have the Cowboys next week, but they don't
(14:31):
typically tank, and after that, all the teams they're playing
are still in playoff position, so the de Veto thing
just seems to scream, we gotta lose some games. Mike
Evans is back for the Bucks. They resume their push
for the division, with the Falcons having a couple of
hiccups here lately. I'll lay the six and I will
take the Bucks by at least TD.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
All Right, there you go. That is the top story
of the day. Go owls at Lol. Uh, we didn't
have a play call, maxt you fell for it.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
We didn't have a play call.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Oh well, well he knows he wasn't supposed to jump.
I mean anyway. Uh uh. We'll be back with more
great sports talk on M five seventy LA Sports on
this frog Man Friday, The petros and Money Show, M

Speaker 6 (15:28):
Petrosen Money, AM five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on

(15:51):

Speaker 3 (15:52):
That's right man, and joining us right now to celebrate
it and to celebrate the great lot in Back Trophy,
which is getting bigger and bigger now it's with all
the Vegas Awards at the Bellagio. Joining us right now

celebrity football royalty. Ronnie Lott, King of Riale too, four
(16:16):
time Super Bowl champion, eight Pro Bowls, Hall of Fame
of course, a national title at usc In and All
American there and in the College Football Hall of Fame.
We were talking about it, Matt, the Lot Impact Trophy
awarded annually to the nation's top defensive player. And you
got to have integrity too and make an impact on
(16:38):
and off the field, just like Ronnie Lott. And they
are going to be with the December ninth Awards at
the Bellagio in Vegas, which is pretty awesome. So joining
us right now to celebrate it all and to talk
about Rivalry week is the great Ronnie Lott. What's cracking, Ronnie?
How are you? Thanks for doing it?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Look, I'm so thankful that I had have you, you know,
sharing this and being able to work with you. But
when when you said I'm from from rialto you just
you took away my street crid man.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Oh, I'm so sorry, Ronnie.
Speaker 9 (17:21):
I'm supposed to I'm supposed to be a tough guy.
Way my street cred.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
They're not tough in Rial.
Speaker 9 (17:26):
Tell I'm like fit, They're going Oh Mary.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
People people didn't know Rialto. They all know real this way, man,
the boys is softened Rialto. But you know what, I
had to make up for it. And I'll be the
first one to tell you when we moved there, and
and and being a part of that community over the years,
(18:01):
there's nothing like it. And what I always remember about
being there is that you find yourself wanting to figure
out is there a chance to be you know, the
best you can be? And I think one of the
great things that I learned from my parents, and they
used to say this all the time, it doesn't matter
where you're at because as a military kid, we're we're traveling,
(18:22):
we're we're moving, and we're moving every four years. And
by the way, all we're gonna encourage you to do
is be your best. And so for me, I have
some great parents and they told me that even in
Rialto and you can you can be you can be
your best. And so the great thing about you know
that quest and and and It's funny because I'm looking
(18:46):
as I started talking, I'm sitting here going man, Bill Duffy.
Bill Duffy is a great basketball agent. We are friends
and growing up and playing basketball with each other and
knowing him over the years, and you know he's from
you know, Pomona, and so you know, you just all
these you know, moments in your life where you say
(19:08):
to yourself, and I just got to get a little
bit better. I just got to get a little bit better.
And and you know what you learn is that's life
is getting a little bit better every year. And that's
what this award is all about. Teaching kids and giving
them the opportunity to get a little bit better every
day and everything that you do, not just what you
(19:29):
do on the field, but everything you do off the field.
And that quality exists with so many people that I've
met over the years, and very fortunate to be able
to have a guy like Mike Sam and Mike Izzy
helping me and helping us, you know, with this award,
and it's just been phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
It's been grown, hasn't it, Ronnie. I mean going out
to Vegas, I mean this is a bigger deal.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, it is a bigger deal. And it's a bigger
deal because well, first of all, how lucky are we
that we get a chance to talk about, you know,
some of the great players that play in the college
game and here we are now most likely looking at
a guy that is one of the best players to
(20:17):
play in college football. And right now there are a
number of those guys from Notre Dame to Penn State
to Colorado. And what's interesting to me is that those
guys that are, you know, top guys are finding themselves
in this run, in this race, and they're finding themselves
(20:38):
in this race because they get a little bit better
every day. They get better every day, and they're paying attention.
They're following the idea of what it takes to be
able not just to be great on the field, but
to be great off the field. And to me, those
qualities exists with a lot of people that I watch
(20:59):
growing up, and I had the good fortunes of meeting,
you know, Jim Brown and and understanding what it was
like to not only be good, but to be good
off the field. And you know, having guys like Kaem
and others that I've met over the years that you
would sit there and you would, you know, see their
(21:20):
impact of what they were doing on the field or
on the court, or off the field, and off the court,
they had, you know, this kind of way of making
sure that they existed in helping people in all different ways.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Ronnie, you look at the winners and the finalists these
last few years and it's, you know, just let's go
the last three, right, Aiden Hutchinson, will Anderson, Junior Colson,
and you look at each of them, it's guys that
sort of waited their turn to become the star on
their team. They're not transferred guys, They're they're guys that
are the identity of their programs in the case of
a junior and will you know, in case of junior
(21:57):
and national champion, Like, what do you make of of
guys moving around year to year versus players like these
past three winners that kind of stayed and gradually got
better year after year before coming some of the best
players in football.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah, I think what's tough is and we all know
this is that, you know, as we choose to do
whatever we choose, you know, the hard part is like
staying on the course of what you believe is right.
And I think what's you know, challenging is that, yes,
(22:31):
they stayed and some guys have been able to harness
that ability to win and to be able to stay focused.
On the other side, you know, there are other you know,
opportunities where people are sitting there going this might be
my only shot, This might be my only shot to
do this, and it might be my only shot to
be able to make this. And so you know, you
(22:53):
know the question of wisdom is, you know, do you
do something that you will look back and go that
was a great decision. Wisdom is not about making the
right decision. Wisdom is about being able to hopefully say
to yourself, I think I made the right decision, and
and and and that is really you know, complicated because
(23:16):
there are so many things that come along with that,
and and so to me, you know, just knowing these
young men and knowing that this new opportunity that sits
every year out there where somebody's willing to actually give you,
you know, compensation to play the game a little bit better,
that's that's that's that's different, I mean, and it's different
(23:36):
because we haven't seen that, and so you know, there's
a different motivation that compromises your ability to think about
what's right for you and what's what's best for you.
And so it's a challenging composition. It's a challenging moment
for all athletes and every sport, especially in college right now,
(23:59):
and especially what you go through and especially the things
you know you thought that you needed to do to
get to have that kind of monies. And yet for
all of us, I mean even I mean, as I
even think about it, you know it would be it's
a complex situation.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
You had back to back winners of the Lot Impact
Trophy in thirteen and fourteen out of UCLA, Anthony Barr
and Eric Hendricks. Just your thoughts as were upon Rivalry
week just twenty four hours out really usc UCLA, how
these two teams look and how you feel about the
rivalry in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Well, it exists for a lot of reasons, and it's
going to continue to exist for a lot of reasons.
I mean, the best part about it is, you know,
I get to I get to I get to give
my son who went to U s LA, you know, Ryan,
and get I get to give him a hard time.
(24:58):
I get to do it way with a lot of love,
and and and and and and what does that mean
is that we we're always going to be yinging and
yanging about that subject because you know, of what he
felt was right for him at the time, and what
(25:19):
and what I felt was right for me at the
right time. I remember sitting there, you know, uh, thinking
to myself, you know, Terry Donahue and and and Coach
Robinson and and and knowing that you know in my
head that you know, and meeting Marcus Allen, and meeting
Dennis Smith, and meeting Eric Scott and and meeting guys
(25:42):
like that that I ended up, you know, wanting to
emulate and wanting to be and and and so it's
people like that that that I think that will you know,
help you, you know, make that decision. And I think
Ryan will tell you that, hey, there were certain guys
that he met at U c l A that helped
him make that decision. And it's usually around the composition
(26:05):
of people that you interact with that you go, you know, uh,
they smell right, they smell they smell good, they smell
like they're gonna win, and and and and and those
judgments that we have are around the quality of people.
You know, Jerry Jerry Buss. You know when when when
(26:28):
I was at sc Jerry Buss would talk to us,
and so yeah, you would go, of course he smells good.
Of course he's a winner. And so those are the
kind of you know things that you you had access
to that you would say to yourself, Yeah, that's a
great Those are great qualities of being around certain people.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
We just lost coach Robinson, uh, one of one of
the great USC men of all time.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
UH.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
And I know that, Uh. You were with him a lot.
Ronnie used to come and speak to the team when
he was the head coach. What are some of your
thoughts about Coach Robinson playing for him and then playing
against him like you did in the pros.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
I have.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Learned more about my life being with him and being
a friend of his that I have with any other
coach I've ever been associated with. And I'm so grateful
that I had a chance to be his friend, to
be a person who worked under him, a person who
(27:37):
had a chance to compete for him. And the reason
why there you got to remember like he took over
a kid that said, you know, I'm coming from rialto
and I'm coming from rialto and by the way, I
want to be like I want to be like Dennis Third,
(28:00):
I want to be man. I wanted to be like
Dennis Thurman so bad. And the reason I wanted to
be like Dennis Thurman so bad is that Dennis Thurman
was one of the greatest defensive backs I've ever seen
and knew so much about the position and and and
still is one of the greatest coaches. And my point is, like,
(28:21):
how lucky was I that I could, you know, learn
from somebody that was just gifted as Dennis and and
then that played for Coach Robinson and then to me
is his best friend John Madden and too. And to
learn all the things that I learned about just learning
(28:42):
how to win from those two guys, totally smokes man,
I can I can you know, I go on and
on and and go on and on and on forever,
because those two individuals, when you think about what their
quest was and how they felt now they would think
about the game of football, It's amazing, I mean, And
(29:06):
so how I how I see myself now? How lucky
and Ricky and Ellison and Marcus Allen and Eric Scotts
and Dennis Smith and all the guys that that I
hung out with, and we're around you know, we all
know how much Coach Robinson meant to us. And he
(29:28):
was a father figure for a lot of people and
a lot of people that he coached and and and
was just a great competitor. And when somebody tells you
that you can go on Wilson Boulevard and you could
beat the Rams, and you're and you're eighteen years old,
(29:50):
and you go, I mean we can't.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah we can.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
Okay, let's go.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
And so it was moments like that that even though
you couldn't, even though you thought that you couldn't do it,
you could do it because coach Robb was he was.
He gave you that moment. And those kind of moments
led me to having an incredible career in football and
(30:24):
in life. And there I owe him a lot for
understanding what that feeling of, Yeah we can go on
Wilship Boulevard, we can do we can win it. We
can win it, you can win whatever you want to win.
Speaker 3 (30:40):

eleven fifty. All right, dude, your dead guy, birthday of
(32:39):
the day or this week beating out Alistair Cook is
a French news which we do not have a bed for. Okay, sorry,
we do have a Filipino news, but we do not
have French news. The Bohemian Bearded Lady. Paris Olympics just
(32:59):
ended a few months ago, and I will ask the
question do we show enough love to easy listening music anymore?
And the answer is no.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
No.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
I think you're right we don't.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
And now that I'm old er, I appreciate an easy
listening lifestyle. Born in the port city of Calais in France,
Today we celebrate Raymond Lefever, who was accepted into the
Paris Conservatory when he was only seventeen and then did
(33:35):
music on Paris television, came to La and played a
piano in the Hilton for a while. That's not always
just some hack. It could be a great musician there, sure,
and I'm sure speared many Francophile Angelino women around town.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
He did all of them. There are the Francophiles that
there are plenty. You can make some hay on that front.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
In the seventies, Math, Yes, you can really make some hay.
He did all the soundtracks for French Superstar actor Louis
de Funis.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
I guess I'm not up to speed on French Superstar.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
I guess he was today. Say he's one of friends,
his friends, his favorite performers. Ever, Louis de Fus unlike us,
he had his own orchestra and a long nose and
Hans Gruber VI. His biggest easy listening hit was in
the US in nineteen fifty eight, Call the Day the
(34:45):
rains came? Why did instrumental music die into us? Why
used to be able to have a hit with nobody singing?
Where are the ventures? He had more hits ten years later.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
I wish I had an answer. I don't know, Matt,
like instrumentals, you know, none of us have been to
the Capitol Records, Billy, but you you could have. You
could have fixed this soul coaxing. You had a big
hit with and the song La La La. Four times
he submitted Eurovision songs, three times for Monica, once for Luxembourg.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
France was like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Monsieur.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
He died at a weird commune in France called San
Port in two thousand and eight. He looked a lot
like Gruber, a lot really yeah, Raymond Lafeler, Well you're
a live guy. Lt. Lt.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
Livingston Taylor, look Lawrence Taylor, Livingston Taylor, James Taylor, James
Taylor's younger brother. Turns out, James Taylor has famous siblings,
and Livingston has written a few hits. Parents Ike doctor
physician in Boston, but got offered the position of dean
(36:26):
of the University of North Carolina Medical School, so moved
the family to Chapel Hill. Mom Trudy, talented musician, part
of the music conservatory in Boston. Obviously, brother James, everybody
knows two years older.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
JJT let me ask you something you a little nervous
there than I was laughed up.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
And he did what j T did, just maybe not
as well, singing and writing folk songs. And it was
a family thing, the famous and that.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Was sixteen years ago.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
More than that, maybe two thousand and eight.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Eight.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Yeah, sixteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
James Taylor looked really old.
Speaker 6 (37:01):
Yeah, sixteen years ago, and he is only seventy six today,
James Taylor, because Livingston two years younger, seventy four. Apparently
the Taylor family used to have singalongs thanks to Mom Trudy,
and it would break down as such James oncello, Alex
on violin, Kate on the dulcimer, and Livingston plucking that banjo.
(37:24):
Said they grew up on the blues of lead belly,
the banjo of Pete Seeger, and the singer songwriting of
Woody Guthrie. And Livingston shared the stories of why all
the kids became songwriters because Mom Trudy would challenge the
kids to write jingles about things around the house. They
would call him kitchen concerts and she would just like
hold up a can of Van de Kamp's green beans
(37:47):
or something and say, all right, start writing. Said the
reason why he believed he could make a career of
playing the rock and roll or the folk was because
his older brother Alex one day came home with twenty
bucks in his pocket after playing a frat party at
the University of North Carolina. So he officially began his
professional career at thirteen, nineteen sixty three, part of a
Chapel Hill folk trio with guitarist Paul Collins, singer Killy Jacker.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
We Got So Drunk and the guy saying You've Got
a Friend.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
By sixteen, he had written his first hit song locally
as a local hit, good Friends, but it was such
a big hit that he said it became part of
his set list for the next four decades whenever he
played in the Carolinas. When he was eighteen, he was
opening for Joni Mitchell got signed by Capricorn, one of
their first artists, debut Albin Livingston Taylor, produced by Landaut
who would later produce Bruce Springsteen, and included the song
(38:37):
Carolina Day, which made it out of the Billboard Hot
one hundred.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
He moved back to Boston.
Speaker 6 (38:40):
His second album, Live had Get Out of Bed, another
top another Hot one hundred song. His brother James joined
him on his third release. Routinely had guests on all
of his albums. He was widely respected in that community.
Linda Ronstack, Carly Simon, you know sister and law kind
of thing.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Oh met All didn't then, well she'd have done it anyway.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:58):
He was a successful touring musician and well liked. Had
a hosting gig which was This Week's Music. It was
called the folk music version of American Bandstand, which apparently
did not go over quite as well.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Mighty Wind.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Basically, I mean, that's that's funny. That's exactly what I thought.
Speaker 6 (39:22):
He started teaching at Berkeley School of Music in eighty nine,
kept putting out records as a bunch of kids music records.
He produces some rock music. In twenty seventeen, he had
been in the business for fifty years and Boston Mayor
Mardy Walsh and Massachusetts Governor Charlie Beka declared January eighteenth,
twenty seventeen, to be Livingston Taylor Day in Boston. Married twice,
(39:44):
no kids, Happy seventy four Livingston Taylor.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Guys, hear me out. Did you get James Taylor? No,
hear me out. Hear me out. Now I got his brother, Livingstone.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
This is it's funny you say that.
Speaker 6 (39:58):
I had a very similar situation at dream Works when
God bless him. Lenny Warren Kerr, one of the all
time great music executives. Who's I'm sure very excited about
rivalry Rique dedicated usc Trojan came in and said, guys,
we just signed Ben Taylor. I said, who's Ben Taylor,
(40:19):
James Taylor's son.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Whoa.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
It's like, all right, Lenny, we got Ben Taylor. How'd
we get him? Oh?
Speaker 6 (40:26):
You guys should sign James Taylor back in the day.
That's right, great, great, Ken Ben Taylor.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
