But right now it's time for the final our fun
Baths Fun Effect. It's the Yeah with three.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Fun fun Fact Vietnam, Christmas fun Fact be over there
and Nam. One of the most popular, well not one
of the most popular. One of the most desired varieties
of coffee is made from civets, a type of weasel
with incredible with an incredible nose. The weasel sniffs out
(02:41):
the best coffee beans. The weasel, like the pig. Like
the pig, finds the the truffles exactly right. The weasel
a weasel, a weasel called this civot a civet weasel okay,
finds the coffee bean, choose the coffee bean, swallows, the
coffee bean poops out. The coffee bean makes the coffee
(03:06):
being slightly fermented and apparently makes a much desired a
delicacy around the world. It's super expensive. Apparently it's somewhat
popular over in the UK. It's like fifty bucks a cup,
but in Vietnam it's about ten percent of that.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I like the coffee that shoots out of the weasels ass.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
You gotta say that weasel crap coffee, of course, But sir,
of course we do. We only serve the funnest beings.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Weasel ass.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I'll be taking the weasel ass coffee.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's right next door to the the Riscade Bakery. It's
all right there.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
What do you have, sir, Well, we've got one nice
blue mountain wet this Pike's place. Weasel ass, this weasel
app we had this Sumatra and the weasel ass.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Of course, the ass of the weasel quick hits everybody.
The Lakers are twelve and ten, they are in this
city of Atlanta taking on the Hawks. There is no truth,
absolutely zero truth to the rumor. And you know what
roomor I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Matt corrections and retraction.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The rumor that the Lakers all got on a bus
and uh, we went to White Castle, the closest white
castle in Orlando, halfway up to Atlanta, and the people
were thirsty in Atlanta and there's bear in Texarcana. There
is no truth. They charted a playing and were pampered
as they always are.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
And I did see that JJ Redicker had it leaked
to the media that they were going to do a
coaches meeting so they could make sure they're holding each
other accountable.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, it was already scheduled.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
We're gonna we're gonna do this coaching meeting here and
we're gonna we're gonna make sure we're holding each other countable.
You know, you can't just have just players only meeting.
We're gonna have a coaches only meeting.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
We had scheduled this.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
It seems like it's scheduled daily to have a coaches meeting.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
You'd think we don't ever meet. Hey, link Clippers are
at fourteen and ten there until Sunday when they host
the Rockets at six pm right here on AM five
seventy LA Sports. I know Ryan Hollins works for the Rockets.
I don't know anything about them other than that, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Well, I know this. I know that their alternate uniform,
you know, like they have the Hollywood Knights for the Lakers,
or the Kobe Snake print for the Lakers, the Black Mambas,
uh huh. I know the Rockets alternate is the rocket
boob bra of Madonna. Oh that's what they were out there.
I thought that that I believe to be true.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I thought it was a picture of that astronaut that
were the diapers to go kill that lady.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
That was a good one, Matt.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Terrible news about Lonzo ball, you know, the last two years,
but he's finally back, but he's only played in six games.
In an interview with ESPN, Lonzo said the big Baller
brand sneakers possibly could be the reason that he suffered
such terrible injuries. I think it's possibility for sure, to
be honest with the ball said I wasn't really getting
hurt like that until I started wearing them. They were
(06:04):
like kickball shoes.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I've never owned a pair of kickball shoes, by the way,
See that one kind of went over my head.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, I don't know. There was especially for that. He
wore him just twice in the summer league before his
rookie season. Didn't like him, went to foot locker in
Vegas to buy a different pair of high D shoes
for each game. Not only does Lonzo think the shoes
hurt him, but he says that years of training on
hard concrete in Chino Hills State Park could have played
a role in the cartilage is shoes that have hampered
(06:33):
his career.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
I'm going to go with the ladder. I don't think
it's the shoes you wore twice. I think it's probably
the relentless pounding on a concrete park basketball court with
your brothers and your father that probably played the bigger role.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I just don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
That would be my guest.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Winter meetings start on Sunday. David Vasse will be there
for all the coverage. You heard me talk about it
in the intro to the segment We're all excited to
see what happens, And we had a conversation with Bob
Nightingale from USA Today all about it and speaking of
that old whistletooth. Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred, after
(07:16):
his trial balloon was shot down by everybody, downplayed the
possibility of a golden at bat rule becoming the law
of the land anytime soon. During an appearance last night
at the Italian American Baseball Foundation's annual gala, he was
threatened by some very very angry looking Italian characters.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
The Sam Manford, the golden at bet thing that you've
been kicking around. Perhaps you'd like your head to be
the thing that gets kicked around.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I am Barcona, the one ruler of all the jungle.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Marcona's blood is the flood of the jaguar. A lot
of people want to sacrifice Rob man and Fred in
a very native type of barkoon away, not just the
e tallos, because of that golden bat thing. He said,
for those of you who have golden bat concerns, put
your head on a pillow and sleep soundly tonight, Manfred said.
(08:15):
And somebody said, you're gonna sleep with a fishers Man
fred just set up a pitch.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
It doesn't really answer anything. They say. If you have
gold in a bat concerns, put your head on your
pillow and sleep soundly tonight, your.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Head on my puzza.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I mean, how about you saying it's ridiculous, we're not
gonna do it and just pulling the cout out the
bend and be kind of cool though, you know, and
it would certainly lead to people not leaving the park
knowing that sho Heltani, you know, could strike out. And
then they just say, there we need it again.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
We need a ghost runner for Otani. Do it again
tomorrow we see the SEC Championship game and you'll hear
it right here on AM five seventy.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Who Sports, What are you thinking? What do you got?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
We did the intro, We talked it. But Matt, there
is huge mascot talk Peruna, the tiny horse mascot for
the SMU Mustangs.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Yeah, they got a mini horse.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Will be in attendance. Was when SMU plays Clemson tomorrow
in the a SEC Championship. But they won't let Bevo
on the sideline because Auga and Bevo got that big
fight a few years back. That's right, that was a
bad scene.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Well, it's probably better not to travel Bevo Anyway's let's
maybe just let Bevo kick it back there in Austin.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
BiVO could travel fine. It's just when you put a
bull baiting dog in front of a bull, no matter
how sedated, you know, biology takes over. You gonna kick ass.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I want to kill that dog, litterally kill it, and.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Any photographer standing in the way, and any partition as well.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
We talked about him or to the tiger being able
to eat the mini horse.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
The tiger's not out there. The tiger's not out there anywhere.
They don't do that anymore. Man. That's like when they
brought the wolverine out in ann Arbor and it scared
the players, so they had to get rid of it.
The Chargers are eight and four. They're in Kansas City
on Sunday night. You heard Matt talk about it. Danie'll
talk about it next. It's taking on the holiday touchdown
(10:16):
Chiefs three and a half point home favorites. Now. The
Rams are six and six and they host the Bills
and his new bride to be, Hailey Steinfeld from Tarzana. Yeah, Sunday,
it's so five. Bills are a five point favorite of
the Rams. Now, that's a classy NFL relationship. That's an
NFL relationship that we can all get behind, you know,
(10:41):
because they're a very charming couple. Got a piece of
crap like Kelsey and that Stork and Matt. We got
big college hoops action coming up on Sunday, huge game.
As Don McLain said yesterday.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Three blind mice, three blind mice UCLA heads. Do you
gene twelfth ranked Oregon Ducks a three pm tip? But
because the Clippers are playing the Rockets, you will hear
it in our sister station, AM eleven fifty, and you
will want to tune in specifically after the game for
the postgame conversation between Tracy Murray, Josh Lewin and our
(11:16):
absolute favorite head coach of the Bruins basketball team at Croun.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
It's always a wild ride, there's no doubt about that.

(11:41):
over under more or less five cutaways that Haley Steinfeld
from Tarzana Hot Woo hotches Hots. All right, Jeremiah, next,
we're going till seven.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
That sure some money. Five seventy ela sports were live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and p our next guest
can weigh in pretty much on all of this. We
got college football tomorrow Georgia versus Texas SEC Championship game,
Oregon Penn State Big Ten Championship game right here. We
are also your home of the NFL, had the big
Thursday Night or last night's Sunday. Our sister station all
(12:24):
ninety eight point seven gonna have Chargers versus Chiefs kickoff
at five twenty pm. And of course, remember as your
home of the Dodgers, we got Winter Meeting coverage all
week starting next week.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yes, he could weigh in on all that stuff, but
he'll probably just talk about his SUV being attacked by
a peacock or something. It is the one and only
Daniel Jeremiah, also known as the Jeremisiah, the King of Temecula,
the earl of elsinor we all know about his NFL
(13:03):
draft prowess. We know that he calls games with Matt
Smith Shannon Farron on ninety eight to seven Child's Chiefs
coming up Sunday Night. Can we know that other than
Tony Hawk, he is the most publicly unembarrassed and unabashed
Padre fan on Earth and he joins us on the
Southern California celebrity Toyota Dean. What's cracking, Daniel? How are you?
Speaker 5 (13:31):
I thought that was a beautiful introduction because all those
great sports topics, I'm going to start somewhere different. So
I think I've just stumbled across something that's genius. But
I need to get your both your opinions on this
because I value your opinions so tremendously. So here's the deal.
I'm too old to be on ladders putting up Christmas lights. Okay,
(13:52):
these services that come in and do the Christmas lights
for you, I don't know what they're smoking, but the
prices have gotten outrageous to come put your Christmas professional
Here's what. But here's what I'm so, here's my decision
that I right, this is either going to be a
genius move or this could go bad. The yard guys
come every Friday, so I think I'm gonna say, hey, guys,
(14:14):
here are the lights.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
What you know?
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Let me give you, let me flip you. You know
one hundred and fifty bucks. Can you throw these things
up for me? What do you think about that decision?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
I like it. I like it. I think it depends
enough money.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You throwing a twelve ver a medello and some real
some real cokes and a bottle, and you got yourself a.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Deal for I think that's the key. I think that's
the key. Coke in a glass bottle, Coca Cola and
a glass bottle and a twelve ver.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I had this conversation with a junior, my uh, one
of my.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Uh uh that's my yard guy's name, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
My trash Junior's my trash guy recycling. And I said
I had my twelve ver a modello. I said, Junior,
you still drink beer and he said not anymore. And
I said, I have these cokes in a glass. Bodily says,
that's exactly what I want.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
So there you go, cash and a little bit of
respect that they could get parched. And I think you're
good it's got to.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Be a certain kind of coke though, the Mexican you.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Yeah, with the little twist off top.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Right, twist exactly right.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Yeah, okay, that's uh okay. I think this is a
good idea.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I don't even you know what. The reason I say that,
Daniel is I've seen this professional group around my neighborhood
putting up the lights, and yeah, they do a good job.
It's like a husband and wife. The guy wears like
a big tied eye and he's in a lot worse
shape than you. Mind you, And I was leaving the
neighborhood in the morning and I saw him, and I
came back and in the evening and they were still
(15:43):
working on the same house. I was like, wow, I
can't imagine what they charged for that. But you know,
my wife and normally come out.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
They normally come out in like one hundred thousand dollars truck,
and I thinks that operates for three weeks out of
the year.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yeah, guy and Toyota Tandra. That is absolutely loaded to
the max is what they're rolling around.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
My wife and kids put put ours up and they
look fine. So I have faith in your in your
yard guys.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Okay, that's all then to do. We'll see. I'll take
a picture and send it to you when they get done.
Maybe I start with the do I start with the bushes,
and then see how we look there before we get
to the actual house. Like I got kind of those
little bush lights kind of wrap around the bushes. Let's
see how they handle that. Kind of like that like
single A, double A, triple a before you get to.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Call up to the roof like that, Hey, we got it,
we got to installed.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Am I going to jail if they fall?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
And I was just gonna yes, you are. So you're
gonna have to buy a.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Pulley bushes in the trees, maybe bushes and let's stay
off the house. We'll call it a day.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
That's smart, that's smart.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Think about it like this, Daniel, you got to install
zone before you put in cowboy pass. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
I feel like this is good for me. I feel
like you guys might have spared me, you know, a
financial down and potentially jail time. Yeah, so thank you.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Well, just one football question, if we may, Daniel, there
is there's a certain thing of finding a way to
win and there's a certain thing of finding a way
to lose. You guys watch the Chargers do that for
a long time, and now it's the opposite. And it's
not like, oh, look at what they've done on offense. Well,
here's their third down percentage and look at this number.
(17:28):
Look at that. It's quite simply finding a way to win.
I don't think these Chiefs are better than any Chiefs
team we've seen over the years. They're probably worse. But
what is it about them and finding a way to win.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Well, they have the best money time playmaker in Mahomes
and that's oftentimes you know, is with his arm, but
man with money. And I talk about it every year
before those games, like we know in the fourth quarter
there's going to be a third down, and whether that's
third inches or third and seventeen, seen this guy take
off and use his legs at that moment to go
(18:03):
get a key first down. He's just the best money
time playmaker. And he's he's also combined with, you know,
with Andy Reid's expertise in those key key moments. I mean,
even this year, like they're not they're not good offensively.
I mean, I'm obviously not gonna say great, but I
don't even when you're really studying, I'm like, gosh, I
don't think this is really good. But third down, they
just they they own third down and and they you know,
(18:26):
they find a way to make those plays in those
clutch moments. And that's the defensive team. The defense you know,
has been outstanding over the last couple of years, So
the bar for them to climb over offensively is not
that high. They just need him to do it in
crunch time. And that guy is as good as any
of that moment.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
The other side, DJ and and what this team needs
to fight like if they if you were to say, hey,
they're going to find this offensively this week. That's been
missing for for a little bit here, and that's the
key to beating the Chiefs. Is it figuring out this
run game, is it figuring out explosives? Is it just
finding someone besides Lad mccachamy. He seems like there's a
(19:03):
lot of different things they need to sort out on offense.
But what do you think is the most important to
try and snap this six game losing streak.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Yeah, I think it's showing up with your plus one.
If you're Lad McConkie, I feel like he's been, you know,
showing up to the event every week, and even though
he's got a plus one on the invitation, he's the
only one there. So somebody else has got to step
up to help him. Whether that's one of those tight ends,
I'll give you a sneaky one, like what it shock
you money? Like if we said, what's the formula and
(19:30):
how did they get out of there with a win?
Is this like the Stone smart game? Like somebody's got
to emerge? And so I'm trying to find what are
the matchups? What's a matchup that you would like? And
I'm like, a guy like that can give you a matchup.
So I don't know, they need somebody to join McConkie,
and hopefully, you hope mccarchey is going to be out there,
you know, with the injuries he's been dealing with.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
The one and only Daniel Jeremiah joining us on the
Petros and Money show. How dramatically different is this Charger
team to be around than the previous ones? And is
it that simple that Jim Harbaugh is just the guy
that knows how to turn a program around no matter
what it is.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Well, I just think it's different from the standpoint of
the credibility that he has. I think you can definitely
see that. And that's just not inside the building, it's
outside the building. And you know, even you know, the
previous coaching staff, you can have the initial uh, you know,
locker room behind you. But when every time these guys
go home and they flip on the TV and every
(20:33):
single show is is debating you know, how how dumb
a decision that was made in the game was, and
you just got to you get punched over and over
and over again, and they're punching at your coaches that
eventually some of that have to kind of sleep into
the to the locker room and some doubt and we
have the right people, can we trust them? Blah blah blah,
And now it's like you've got Jim Harball. It's all
(20:55):
this credibility with you individually, and then if you ever
flip on the TV, it's universal praise for what he's
done and what he's accomplished. I just think that leads to,
you know, to the buy in that you have and
that there's no eye rolling, you know. I think from
the outside, maybe that's one of the things that surprised
me the most is being around Coach Harbaugh eaching every
week and some of the stuff from maybe the outside
(21:17):
and you'd see, oh, is that a gimmick or was
that a slogan? And then you're around it, You're like,
this guy is one of the most authentic people I've
ever been around. Like he is the same camera on,
camera off, and it is. It's why everybody you know
that works with him and for him seems to love him.
And uh, and you know exactly what you're getting each
and every day.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Yeah, when you're walking down a hotel hallway and he's
ten yards by you and turns back towards you and
just screams, it was a wonderful day for the men
in blue. You know, wait, was that was that Harbor
or Gilbert Godfrey? Again, I can't do Harbaugh. It's too
(21:57):
it's too hard of a voice.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
It's the twins of Gilbert god For your impressions, it's
a little bit.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Yeah, the delivery is odd, the way he says it,
the phrases he uses, and it's it's every minute of
every day. But so here's the chief. So the number
one seed you've got Josh Allen, who seems to to
to really be grabbing at that MVP award this year, Like,
what what do you think of the a f C
that this year the top of the a f C
(22:25):
with the Steelers or Ravens, with the Bills, with the Chiefs,
and and how wide open it might be for a
team that's coming out of the wild card.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Yeah, it just it feels like there's no you know,
there's no tier, you know. I feel like in the
NFC and you saw it in the game last night. Yeah,
I feel like Detroit and Philly are kind of on
their own tier and and you know, whatever one of
those you want to put at the top, and I
feel like there's a gap. I don't really see a
tier system in the a f C. You know, you
(22:54):
kind of go through those teams, of all the teams.
If you look at the seven teams that would enter
the postseason right now, you know, Houston, I wouldn't say
i'd feel super confident with the way they've played, but
with the roster they have and the rest of the AFC,
I could see any of those seven teams making it
to a to a championship game and being competitive with
a chance to go to the Super Bowl. So I
(23:15):
know the record of the Chiefs is what it is,
but I think this is one of the you know,
one of their weaker teams over the last run little
run that they've had. But there's you know, there's nobody
that's stepped up to just completely, you know, grab that
top spot and say, Okay, oh this is the this
is the clear team. Buffalo is playing well. But I mean,
(23:36):
I don't I won't speak for you, money, but I
just watching the Chargers every week. I think if the
Chargers had to go into Buffalo, they've got they've got
a good chance against them. We saw them take the
Ravens all the way down to the wire. I think
the the AFC is wide open.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I'll speak for him, Daniel. I think Matt likes the Chargers.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
I think the Chargers could win.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Uh. We got the two college two of the championship
games on tomorrow Georgia VERSUS Texas and Oregon Penn State.
Is there anything in particular that you're excited about watching
other than that crazy white guy tight end for Penn State.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
God, he's good in me. I'm I'm fired up about
just the individual draft guys to watch. So I don't
does it even matter either one of those games. All
four of those teams are in right the SEC and
the Big Ten. Like, win or lose, you're going to
be in the tournament. So I really don't care who wins.
Everybody's yeah, So I just I'm just watching some of
(24:34):
those individual matchups and I love uh, you know, I
love Warring the tight end from Penn State. He's fun
to watch, fun to study. Oregon's this d tackle they
got harm in fifty five is one of my favorite guys.
As I've gotten into the draft stuff right now, working
my way through all these defensive linemen, He's been a
fun one to watch. So more than anything else, I'm
just kind of keeping an eye on that. From a
(24:54):
scouting standpoint, like from a college football fans standpoint, I
think these championship games are kind of on their way
out the door. I don't really see the relevance there
when you know all four of you are going on, what's.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
The relevance of a committee? Why do we need that? Why? Why? Why?
Why do we need the championship games? Because we've got
a bunch of TV networks making money. That's why. All right, Daniel,
earlier in the year, I asked you about Ashton Genty
who's playing tonight, and you talked about maybe second round,
but a first round grade or something like that. And
(25:27):
I'm sure he hasn't helped himself with wear and tear,
with thirty carries a game all year. But has your
impression of him as a back changed it all since
you watch him kind of wore daddy his way through
the year.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Yeah, I think, you know, I think I said he's
a first round talent that'll probably go in the second
round just because of the position. And two things change.
Number one, a chance to watch a lot more of them,
and I'm like, holy crap, this guy is.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Really really good.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
He's a first round player. He is a first round player.
And the other thing is, you know, you watched the
game last night, jamiir gives first round pick doing his thing.
You look at the Ravens investing in Derrick Henry, and
you look at the Packers making an investment in Josh Jacobs.
Obviously Sae Kwon Barkley. Like all of a sudden, we're
seeing all this too high coverage and all this shell
(26:16):
defense that the running back. It's not just oh, everybody
decided running backs are important. Again, No, the changes in
the game have made running backs more important. And in
a draft that's not super stacked at the receiver position
the quarterback position, there's opportunities for guys that you know,
some of these other spots. And yeah, he's going to
be he's going to be a first round pick, and
(26:36):
he's probably headed towards being a top twenty pick, to
be honest.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
All right, last thing, DJ, and you can make this
as long or short as as you like, just kind
of your your thoughts is someone who has put multiple
suns through high school football here in southern California. Your
thoughts on the Southern California high school football player and
their viability at the next level, and who should determine
(27:02):
whether or not they're four stars or three stars somewhere else,
or they're five stars or four stars somewhere else. And
maybe why a certain someone didn't have a really good
recruiting class when you're making excuses for him.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
I'm not you know, I'm not one who buys you
need to really go all that far to win a
national championship at USC. I just I think it's a
tank of gas school. I think you should be able
to just take that tank of gas and go get
on just about everything you need. And if you need
to go outside the state for four to five kids,
(27:37):
you know you can do that. Go to the South
and see if you can't pluck the defensive lineman or
offensive lineman every now, then maybe go to the Midwest.
Get one of those big dudes. But there's no reason
why you can't be a perennial top ten team just
hammer in southern California. But those I mean, we talk
about every time these guys get hired at some of
these jobs, they all say the same thing. Wow, we're
(27:58):
going to build a fence, uh, you know around the state.
Well there's so many holes in that fence right now.
I don't know how long it would take to rebuild it.
But I mean that's that it's been a sieve of
talent leaking out of this state and going all over
the country. So you know, to me, that's what I
would tell my guys, Hey, we're going to recruit and
we're going to put ninety percent of our energy and effort.
(28:19):
You know, we can see these kids, we can be
around them all the time. They can be around us
all the time. Like it's a built in advantage with
geography to be able to close on some of these kids.
So I don't really understand that of not taken that
opportunity and running with it.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Well, USC's not proven over generations to be able to
do that, So I don't know what. And California kids
suck now anyway, So you get that money out of
the safe for the gardeners there, Daniel, and have a
great trip to Kansas City with Matt Smith. I'm sure
there'll be a lot of riveting conversation on the plane.
You can check out that Hallmark Chiefs movie touch Holiday Touchdown.
(28:54):
It's about the Chiefs and the Hallmark.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Of the NFL have Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah, so go to love it. See look who's on.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
I'm just trying to figure out if if my junior
is your junior. I'm just trying to wreck my brain
around that if my guy is doing your place as well.
I don't know what's going on with the yard situation,
but we're gonna figure that out.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Well.

Don't rick our show you hoz are.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Hockey mules and nice Canadian news and all right happy?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Would have been one hundred and seven to Irvine Isaac
Robbins IRV Robbins born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Family moves
to Seattle. There he goes to Garfield High. Family moves
to Tacoma, finishes at Stadium High.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Oh that's the one, you know, that's the one from
Ten Things I Hate About You.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Stadium High, beautiful High School, right in the shadow of
the Tacoma Dome.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Well you know who ripped the dome off. I've ripped
the roof right off, like Tampa Bay. Kady Chesney Pete Carroll.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
His father Aaron, owned a dairy and decided to open
an ice cream shop that the family would run. He
and his siblings and mom would work at what was
called the Olympics Store. And I went to U Dub
was a ZBT that led me to discover. Once I
said that, I was like, oh it, a bit of
time must be just Yep, he's Jewish, greatest generation.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
My friends at the Jewish House always have weed on
Easter Sunday. Don't you worry about that?
Speaker 4 (32:24):
He's greatest generation. So professional life is put on hold
while he serves in the US Army during Dub Dub two.
When he gets out in forty five, he is stayed.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
And I heard though the soldiers liked to drink a
lot of Dub Dub two was root beer. Root beer.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
He was stationed in California and he stayed Glendale bro Bro.
He cashed and this is how I found out he
was Jewish. This part of the story. He cashed out
the sixth grand that he got for his bar mitzvah
through some sort of insurance policy or another, I don't
know bar mitsv insurance. They saw that ap and he
opened what he called Snowbird ice Cream. December seventh, nineteen
(33:05):
forty five, a day that would live in oh No.
That was a different one. His sister Shirley.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
This ice cream is an abomination.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
His sister Shirley was married to a guy by the
name of Bert Baskin.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Oh Wow.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Yes, he owned a men's store in the Palmer House
in Chicago, making a decent living. But he and IRV
are talking one day and IRV says, hey, man, ice
cream's booming out here. Get out of Chicago, come to
the warmth of southern California and stop selling men's clothes.
Sell ice cream. It's a fun job. So Bert takes
the plunge, and, on Irv's recommendation, he opens Burton's ice
(33:41):
Cream on Lake in Pasadena, and it didn't take long
for them to merge. By nineteen forty eight, Baskin and
Robbins had opened nine stores between the two of them,
running them into digital.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I shouldn't recognize the name. It's Burt Baskin.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
The five Snowbird, the three Burtons or the four Burton's
would combine into a single enterprise. The same year, they
devised their thirty first flavor, ten for Bert, twenty one
for IRV, and that thirty first flavor was chocolate binch.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Oh damn, my bad.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
They were devoting less and less time to each individual store,
and they decided, let's see if our managers want to
buy him from us. They made agreements when they opened
new stores, and they called them franchise agreements. So Baskin
Robbins was the first ever food company to franchise their outlets.
Not McDonald's Real Urger King, Yeah it was, and it
(34:36):
was right here in Burbank. It wasn't Captain Kid, was
not Captain Kid, Corrections and retraction, wasn't Taco Time with
a monkey ride in the dog. I loved that it
was Baskin Robins. Their production facility was in Burbank. They
had fifty stores by nineteen fifty three. They hired Carson
(34:56):
Roberts Advertising, and they're the ones that recommended the adoption
of the number thirty one in their title, as well
as the pink and brown polka dots and the typeface
reminiscent of the circus. The first store that adopted the
brand new look and the slogan thirty one Flavors was
eight zero four North Glenville Avenue in Glendale, and the
thirty one Flavors was used to highlight a specific flavor
(35:20):
on each day of the month like you would get
a discount. Hey today, zak aryies tomorrow quarterback.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
And the circus thing. You know, there's a big gas
one over on Victory. Do you see that one.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
I don't know if I've ever.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
There some big Baskin Robbins here in Burbank. If you
ever take a weird little route to the five, you'll
run into it. Matt. It's like the postmodern KFC on Western. Oh.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Now that's that's something to behold. The postmodern KFC. It's
two stories, but not really but unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
It is.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
When the kids were little, they we would go to
the Basket Robins a lot. There's a large one in
Long Beach like Zimino and seventh right in that area
that we would always hit up. But over one hundred locations.
In sixty seven when IRV cashed out, they have they
had over five hundred twelve million bucks he pocketed. He
stayed on as a consultant until seventy eight, So happy birthday.
(36:15):
There would have been one hundred and seventh Irvine Isaac Robbins.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
All right, you're a live guy. Birthday of the day.
Pretty old guy but still alive. An artist from Fort Wayne,
Indiana eighty four today Irvine Bruce Mauman.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Yeah, same name, Irvine, Let's Go and the Irvine family
Matt which owned the ranch Let's Go Eaters where there
were eaters, no ants alive on that ranch. Now this guy,
Bruce Nauman went to Wisconsin and then you see Davis,
(37:02):
and then you see Irvine Let's Go Eaters. And Bruce
was a painter, but he got into sculpting and very
interesting stuff. We are your visual art show of record.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
It's not close.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
He was interested in language and the nature of communication,
and his work reflected that. Lots of videos speakers using
his own body or image. He first started displaying at
Lochma and MoMA in New York. You know, Matt, that's
(37:40):
like getting picked by the Yankees. You know. He drink
that in and he was married a long time to
his second wife, the painter Susan Rothenberg. Now, let me
bring you through some of these very interesting works, and
you tell me what you think, Matt.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
Okay, not in.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Any particular order, all very interesting times.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
So I got you. So it's not the art, it's
what he opted to call the art that has.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
No you don't have to say anything but the art. Yeah,
I'm gonna give you the title. Okay, I'm just saying,
not in any order as far as the chronology, gotcha, right,
I will. I'm gonna give you the title of the piece,
and then I'm gonna describe the piece. It's best I
can in my rudimentary, stupid football analyst way as a
stupid learned helplessness in Rats or also known as rock
(38:32):
and roll Drummer.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
Seems a little incongruous.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Well, it's a video of a rat in this weird
plexa glass maze with a loud drumming teenager on a
video element.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
So there's one. Despite all my rage.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
I guess kind of like out, I do believe it
predates zero Animal pyramid, a bunch of taxidermy animals all
stacked up like a pyramid. You can go see that
one in Des Moines. Pretty self explanatory. That one clown
(39:14):
torture at MoMA, which is like a Sideway's clown, and
then a clown on a TV screaming a bad joke
over and over and over and over again.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
I see. I was thinking like it was a clown
being tortured.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
I was gonna say, young, Yeah, one of the clowns
is one of the clowns is being tortured on the sideways.
There is some of that. There's some of that element.
I think there's one called Days, which is a two
rows of wafer thin speakers that play seven languages of
(39:50):
people chanting the days of the week constantly, over and
over and over and over and over again. You can
go see that one at the Museum of Modern Art.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
And he said seven, I thought you were going to
finish it with Mary three. It's like that'd be something.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
The other part of the year. It's in Basil, Switzerland,
so it's one. You know, it's half the year you
can hear the chanting in New York and then the
other half in Switzerland. Very inventive guy. Vices and Virtues
is close to us. In nineteen eighty eight that went
up at UCSD. That's the neon sign of the seven
(40:29):
Deadly Sins and Virtues on top of one of those
university buildings.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Should make a movie out of that.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Predates that and at the center of the universe in
New Mexico at the University Go Lobos just lost Bronco
Mendenhl of Utah State. That is two tunnels with a
third tunnel pointing straight up to the sky. So you
walk to the middle and he looks straight up.
Speaker 4 (40:56):
And it's like elevator to the moon.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I guess. So lives in New Mexico near Santa Fe.
Married twice sculptor Bruce Nauman. Definitely worth looking up. Beautiful
and that is it for us. Then we'll be back
with more great sports talk on AMBI seventy LA Sports
on Monday with a two to five show with more
(41:21):
Monday Night football. But don't forget the Chargers and Chiefs
on Sunday night and u C l A Organ on
Sunday on eleven fifty and the Clippers on amby seventy plus.
We got all that college football Tomorrow gets fruit in
Los Wuegos. Everybody, enjoy your weekend.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
Borrow Lazy Friday.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Checked out this conj
