fact and we'll be done for the week, although we
do have a really early show next week. Ucla is
playing at Rutgers or something, so in pistataway, Yeah, Ucla
(02:35):
versus Rutgers. I mean it feels it feels like Michigan
Ohio State in many ways, it's the game, you know,
like Ryan Day said, you know my dad dying and
they're losing a Michigan. That's how you feel about Ucla
Rutgers with those two tussle. And that's coming up on Monday.
So we're going to have like a one o'clock show,
(02:56):
and I think the Clippers are going to play right
after that. Yeah, double up. You see how the win
erse Yeah, well, you know an NBA team and we'll see. Uh, Matt,
I do have a word of the day for you.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
With his words the word of the day.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Uh, Kelly Stafford, Matt one of the most important to you,
dear friend of yours, forty six years old. Uh, mother
of four loves to embarrass her husband and her husband's
team through her NFL podcast and her attention seeking ways.
Am I wrong to say?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Uh? She has taken aim at you in the past.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
She has and I'm gonna come right back at him.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
You're gonna take aim. Watch this ame.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Uh, they're good for my legs. I'm gonna come right
back at him. Uh. And uh. Kelly Stafford has the
flu and her daughters have the flu, and you know,
I mean, there's a lot going on in La, but
she wants everybody to know that she has the flu.
And because of her sickness, she completely understands that she
(04:14):
probably shouldn't be in the house with matt Stafford, who's
got a big playoff game, you know, on Monday. So
just so you know, they all have fevers, according to
Kelly Stafford, and they can't have that in the house
with Matthew going into the playoffs. So we're gonna have
to do our best not to get him that flu,
(04:37):
she said.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So it takes Hey, look, everyone's got a pitch in
not easy to want a playoff game. You know, everybody's
got to do their part. That's their job. Support your
husband and your father and make sure he does not
get sick. That is what you have to do this week,
Stafford family. So let the world know that that is
exactly the task at hand. And how you you intend
(05:00):
to attack it now.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Kelly Stafford has attacked a few things over the year.
She attacked the rapper blueface in the suite at so Far.
She didn't like this colo yellow, the colo girls moving
around while he was geeking it. She didn't like the
fans yelling her at her in Detroit. She doesn't like
what's happening to Joe Burrow because she feels like that's
what happened to Matt Stafford in Detroit, even though they
(05:23):
paid him a bunch of money and traded him where
he wanted to go. And she talked about dating another
quarterback at Georgia to make Matt jealous. That was a
big story.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
That was a good one.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And she attacked fred and I she was half right, Yeah, Peter,
the hell with Frederick, But Peter should not have been attacked.
So Kelly Stafford still doing it big in twenty twenty five,
still showing her colo to the city. Every time she
(05:53):
opens her mouth. It is a must listen podcast. But
they all have flues and they don't know what's to do.
They don't want to get Matt sick. I appreciate that.
I don't want to get sick either. Right.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Oh, you didn't say Matthew. I thought you met me
because we know that it's not Matt. It's Matthew according
to Kelly. So when you said Matt, I assumed you
met me.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Well I did it. I was talking about Matt Stafford,
and I was being intentionally disrespectful in my way. So
you could take it to Echo Park.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah. People at the dream.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Set, all right, here it is. It's not really.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Number of the Day. This one's too good. I don't
know if you've you've seen it on the text do
so yet pee, But I would assume somebody has sent
it to you. The Number of the Day is too
Two hours ago, this posted at the account at Juice Kiffin.
(06:53):
Lane Kiffen's dog has his own Twitter seventy thousand followers.
At Juice Kiffin is where the world confirmed the rumors that,
in fact Lane and Layla Yeah are back together. Son
Knox is back in the house. She's moved from La
(07:15):
back to Oxford. They divorced some eight years ago. They
have rekindled their romance. They are back together, and instead
of posting it himself, his dog, Juice Kiffin wrote, who
is my new mom? She's fire and then Lane Kiffin retweeted, Okay,
(07:37):
this is really weird, juice, and that is how the
world discovered officially that Lane and Layla Kiffin are back
together again. What a world we live in.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I wonder if he'll move the family, do uh? Because
they live here. She lives here.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
She's back, she moved to Oxford. She's back in the house.
Sonsack in the house. The sun plays for a PV
high look at that. Yeah, I wonder if they'll make
a permanent move all the way back to Oxford. Well,
it's wonderful to see him back.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Together, you know, isn't it. You know, nobody liked when
Burt Reynolds got divorced. You know, it was terrible. I
was team Lonnie. Everybody was upset when Lonnie and Bert
you know what I mean, Matt, I knew about when
Joe Lee and Brad Pitt called it quits.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That wasn't easy to stomach. Heart breaking, you know, heart breaking.
I'm very happy for the couple. I'm just astounded that
that's the man.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
You're gonna tell me Sarkesian's gonna get back together with
his ex wife Lane.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
You know, there's a lot of photos out there on
the web, and you know how sec folks are. They
follow your every move and there've been a lot of
pictures posted to you and Leila.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Just you know what nobody's the saying, Matt, nobody's the saint. Okay,
I'm saying, we got a lot to forgive. You know,
she's out there in Manhattan Beach. Who knows.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, I know exactly how we're gonna confirm this. I'm
gonna have my dog tweet out who's my new mom?
She's hot, And that's how we're gonna break the story
and make it official. Okay, Well, her.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Street talking to it. It's a big herb street. Yes,
you know, everybody's speaking through their dogs. And now I
don't know why you're not. All you're doing is feeding
your dog drugs.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Dog drugs. Somebody walking by the house while she was
tanning on the sun the patio dropped some drugs in
front of her and she ate them. Got stone for
two days.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Never seen a dog more like Chris Rock and New
Jack City than Matt's dog.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
He used to starting a Twitter account for your lizard.
Your lizard can cut you're talking for you?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Who's my dad? He's a truncolodite. What's throwing my dad.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
My perspective? Look at my dad's doing right now in
the rubin tug?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
All right?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Can you believe my dad does this?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Hey? Look, if I can't touch myself in front of
a lizard, I mean, come on, the lizard stupid?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Does the lizard have those chameleon like eyes that just
rotate like one hundred and eighty degrees where it's.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Like not that big? Know what you're talking about? But no,
they're not like big. They're not like giants steering. No,
it's not like that. Uh call it.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Take it all the way, Colin.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Today's song of the day is Ocean City by Langhorn Slim,
an appropriate song on a frog Man Friday on the
Petros and Money Show, as we Sail till four thirty,
handing it off to Josh Lewin and Tracy Murray in
Maryland as the Bruins look to right the ship against
the Terrapins.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
What's next, Colin?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
What's going on in the show?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Now?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
What do we got going Colin?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Lock it out?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Baby? Oh well?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Coming up next the top story, we saw a dead
and a live guy. Fun fact and quick hits all
the way to four thirty The Petro Send Money Show
right here on A five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Welcome back, everybody. It is the Petro Sand Money Show
on AM five seventy LA Sports. Been a heck of
a week in the city of Los Angeles. Thank you
for listening, thank you for hanging with us, and thank
you for monitoring the news through our sister station KFI.
(11:14):
We sure appreciate it. And a big thank you to
Tim Kaits, our executive producer, for keeping everybody honest. And
Colin Yee, what a week for Callin Yee a real
og shinobi guy who's done or engineering and production engineering
(11:35):
all week long. We appreciate you calling at Colin Yee.
Ten on X Madison Houston, the Chargers are taking on
the Houston Texans tomorrow. The game is on AM five
seventy LA Sports. It's like a one o'clock kick and
it's not the top story of the day, top story
(11:56):
of it.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Well, you set the scene there, pe wait a week.
It can feel like an eternity when it comes to
the postseason, but it has finally arrived. The Chargers will
kick off the NFL playoffs for Los Angeles. The Rams
will close it up for Los Angeles. Monday kickoff tomorrow
for the Bolts is on a five to seven. It'll
also be back on its typical home old ninety eight
point seven after the cancellation of Alter Ego. But either
(12:21):
place you want it here, you want it there, you
will get it. And of course you can always hear
it through the Chargers app or at Chargers dot Com
if you prefer to do that as well, because you're
not in earshot of either radio station. Both teams impacted
by the fires, no doubt the Chargers, I mean not
nearly like Major like many of Los Angelinos were impacted
by the fires, of course, but just for logistically speaking,
(12:43):
Chargers limited practice before we cut out for Houston yesterday afternoon.
Ram's gonna play their Monday night or in Arizona because
of air quality concerns, the NFL does not want to
contend with come Monday night. So how does that affect
the playoff games? I think probably the best way to
put it is we'll see. But talking with the coordinators,
talking with the players, one thing seemed to stand out
(13:05):
ahead of everything else, and that is leadership. And I'm
sure the Rams would probably say the same thing. It's
one of the reasons why you hire someone like Jim Harbaugh,
why you pay him as much money as you pay him, because,
to a man, everybody mentioned how he adjusted the situation,
how he made it as normal as possible, how they
feel like they did not miss a single second of
opportunity to prepare to practice for this matchup against the Texans.
(13:29):
And one of the themes was they weren't leaving. They
were not gonna leave for Houston early. They weren't going
to go back to their Coasta mesa facility that they
technically still occupy. That they wanted to stay in Los Angeles.
They wanted to practice in Los Angeles, and they wanted
to keep their schedule normal so all of their staff
and players could be in their homes, around their families
(13:50):
and do the best they could to help support this community.
They do feel a big sense of pride that they
aren't just the Chargers, but the Los Angeles Chargers or
LAFD Caps out here. They talked about donations to first responders,
to charities, and feeling as though that there is more
than just a football game out there, that they are
representing this city. Very proud to represent this city when
(14:13):
things get rolling on Saturday. And there's a lot of
things football wise that go into this game that maybe
don't appear on the surface, but certainly when you peel
back a layer, well, it is.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
A football game, you know, so most of the things
that go into it exactly right, Yeah, you know that's
football wise.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
So where I sit embedded with the team, things that
I see up close every day are just sort of
the player coach relationships with Jim Harbaugh when he was
named head coach. Considering what's happening around LA right now.
I don't want to use, you know, the word sacrifice,
that's not appropriate. But when Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa
(14:52):
take a combined twelve million dollars in pay cuts in
a game that has not promised you tomorrow because of
how violent and especially in the case of Joey, how
your body can betray you regardless of what you want
or how much work you put in. They took those
pay cuts because of what Jim Harbaugh pitched them and
what he sold them and what he asked of them
(15:13):
and said he felt he could deliver to them. With
Joe Ortiz to leave twelve million bucks on the table
and give that pair an opportunity to stick around and
make a run at a Super Bowl together so they
could try to navigate that thirty plus million dollars over
the cap situation resolved. They tried to do it with
Keenan Allen. He declined, they traded him to Chicago, but
(15:35):
Joey and Khalil agreed, And I'm sure that was something
that probably weighed on Harbaugh throughout the course of the season,
wid on defensive coordinator Jesse Minter throughout the season to
make right for those guys that did that so they
could be in this exact situation. They're very close. Khalil
and Joey Mack an absolute no brainer Hall of Famer,
one of the best pass rushers of his era. Joey
(15:56):
Bosa probably would have found himself in that same conversation
where it not for injuries that have probably sucked forty
percent of time and maybe when you factor in how
long it takes to rebound from injuries, maybe like fifty
to sixty percent of his production. And you know, when
he's out there, he's been one of the best edge rushers,
complete edge rushers in the game. But he just hasn't
been able to stay out there. So to sacrifice a
(16:18):
bunch of cash, seven million bucks for Joey, knowing that
this next contract probably isn't going to look anything like
that last one, even though he's only in his late twenties,
goes a long way, a long way for them to
have this opportunity, And now they get a chance to
get it going tomorrow, and the two of them are
going to be going up against an offensive line that
has struggled as much as any in the entire league.
(16:40):
They're going to be on their third string right guard tomorrow.
Shaq Losson is out, Khalil Green is out, so that's
an issue for them. Fifty two sacks taken by CJ. Stroud,
one of the highest holding penalty rates of any offensive
line in the game, eleven different combinations tomorrow, will be
twelve over the course of the season as they try
to figure this thing out and allow one of the
(17:00):
highest pressure rates in all of the NFL. But you know,
coach Charbay able to deliver on his promise to get
him there and to give them an opportunity to make
a run at a super Bowl together. Recognizing that the
likelihood of both of them being back next year, considering
their age, how much money they make, it's not impossible,
but it's the business of the NFL. You kind of
(17:22):
know how that looks. The other piece is Drwin and
I can say you've been around him, p you can
speak to it. I've never been and you can speak
to a lot better than me. You've probably been around
people like Durwin, but he's just different. It's different to
be around him. There is a presence with him that
is unlike anyone else. I don't know kind of the
(17:43):
best way. There's just an intensity there. But at the
same time, it's joyful, it's a smile, it's engaging. It's
locking eyes and asking you how your day is going,
and engaging with you and and that sort of thing.
Everybody absolutely loves the guy, adores the guy, plays with
and for the guy. And he's just named an All
Pro today as he should have been, as one of
(18:04):
the two best safeties in the game. And he wants
to believe.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
A lot of different things with him this year too, right, Yeah,
previous staff like he's up around the line of scrimmage.
That's exactly more and making a lot more because that's
his strength to make plays, not that he's not good
at the other stuff, but his impact is in the
box and it's been really really productive year for him
and he stayed healthy.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Yeah yeah, I mean you hit it on the head.
He is only one of two defensive backs that has
played fifteen percent or more of his snaps at the
line of scrimmage, and like you said, he's done. It
is a big nickel as a dinebacker, as a high safety,
as a box safety, as an outside corner, as a
designated pass rusher, to what you were talking about line
of scrimmage. He is a defensive back with twenty one
(18:49):
quarterback pressures that is so far and away the next
defensive back on the list, and he's second on the
team in tackles. He's got interceptions, he's got sacks five
and a half of them. He's got fumble recovery, he's
got passes defense, and he's got one of the lowest
completion rates and quarterback ratings against when he's in coverage.
It was great. Like you said, you know, the last
(19:10):
staff didn't feel like they used him right. They had
him high a lot, and it feels like you want
Derwin James as close to the ball at all times
as possible, and that's sort of what Jesse Minner and
this staff took on. And good for him because it
felt like he was falling out of that conversation and
people weren't talking about Derwin anywhere near as much as
(19:31):
they should considering the talent. And it's great to see
that this staff was able to sort of unlock that
and put him in positions where he was able to shine,
and today it paid off. You know, his name in
All Pro and he's going to play a playoff game tomorrow,
and it feels like that's something that's incredibly special to
him and his teammates. And it just feels like if
(19:51):
there's one thing, you know, if there is an X factor,
it's just him. I can't envision, And of course it
can happen probably, you know, only one team gets to
win the Super Bowl, but it's just hard to envision
him losing a playoff game the way he's played this
year and just how incredibly focused and intense he has
been these last couple of days. But games, the game,
(20:12):
weird stuff happens, and who knows, But I don't know
if anybody would want to sign up to go into
this thing with anybody else ahead of him.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Remember that, like you're feeling very confident, Matthew using confidence.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I don't like to loose confidence because everybody's.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Promethazine oozes out of the streets in the city of Houston.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Maybe that's why I have not been able to get
out of this hotel today, because I don't want to
be confronted with the promeothesne is oozing in the streets.
That would have compromised my performance in this particular moment
right now. Offensively, p it's centered on Justin Herbert. The
last time he was in the playoffs, he put on
a clinic in the first half, leading his team to
a twenty seven zero lead, led mostly off turnovers, But
(20:54):
then his second half was as bad as he or
anyone could have ever imagined. People who tried to put
Herbert in the conversation, you know, with Mahomes and Allen
and Lamar and Joe Burrow routinely gets swatted away because
he's only been in the playoffs once in his previous
four seasons and lost a game in which his team
led twenty seven to zero. He's in his fifty year now,
(21:14):
it's just his second playoff appearance, and it feels like
he's last two and a half games that he is
building toward this to play his best when his best
is required. I don't know, you know, I can't imagine
he felt like he saw the finish line over these
two and a half games, but it just coins him
playing his best football this season. I'm sure a lot
(21:35):
of his health. You know, he busted up his foot
in training camp, rolled the ankle in Carolina and wasn't
right for about, I don't know, five six games. But
feels like this team is in a real good spot
for where they want to be and what they want
to do this playoff and how they feel these these
matchups line up with them. He's throwing twenty three touchdowns
(21:58):
at just three picks. Aaron Rodgers hold the ball forever
because you don't want an interception on your ledger. He
has been putting the ball in the way of danger.
He's pushing it downfield. He has one of, if not
the best deep ball thrower ratings this season. These are
not bubble screens, these are not safe throws this season,
but twenty three touchdowns and three picks. He has got
(22:20):
his longest or I should say his largest average depth
of target and he has got his largest yards per
attempt and reception, so he is pushing the ball downfield,
yet he has been able to take care of it
at a historic fashion. Twenty three to three, a franchise
record and the third best number in the history of
(22:42):
the league. It feels, it feels good. It almost feels
too good. It just the coaches. I think if it
were the past, you would try to figure out how
this thing's going to go wrong when it's set up
like this, But this does feel like a different group
that that walks around with responsibility on their backs. For
(23:03):
these players, anything can happen. The Texans throttled the Browns
last year in CJ. Stroud's postseason debut, and a lot
of people were picking Cleveland with that defense and Miles
Garrett and Joe Flacco playing as well as he was,
and they got absolutely humiliated in Houston by Stroud, Demiko Ryans,
(23:24):
both rookies and their positions. So you certainly don't ever
want to overlook that it's a team with playoff experience,
a team with a playoff win, and a team that
was to some degree counted out that overcame all of
that and put on an absolute clinic to get a
win in the wild card round. Would love for this
team to get this win the Chargers and maybe if
(23:44):
it lines up, get a shot at the Chiefs in
the divisional round to slay that dragon and end and
end there. You know, half decade of dominance.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Well yeah, but you gotta win this one.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Gotta win this one first. Go and you can start
talking about.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Holiday touchdown and I'm gonna go crazy, Yes you are.
We're gonna have Barry word on, Harvey Williams dead a
live guy, Burt Neil Smith dead a live guy. Birthday
of the Day coming up, that coming. That's how I
love though the Breathewrits. We got UCLA Maryland Bruins turps.
(24:23):
But first we'll wrap it up. Thanks for listening, everybody.
Welcome back, everybody. The Petrosen Money Show's going all the
way till around four thirty tonight on this frog Man Friday,
because we have UCLA at Maryland. Don't worry about that
(24:46):
one getting moved or canceled. It's in the state of Maryland.

app for your smartphone and join the Petrosen money on
demand tea of listeners and really immerse yourself in great

KFI and many other sources. But we are all Angelino's
trying our best to be together. So let's get it
going with the Dead and a live Guy Birthday of
the Day live from the City of Surrup.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yes, he from Houston from the seven to one to
three your dead Guy Birthday of the Day. Two words
more bass. I'm guessing Jerry Wexler was a fan of
the Christopher Walkin sketch on SNL as he died in
two thousand and eight, and when asked what he wanted
on his tombstone, he said two words more bass.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
The man that coined the term rhythm and blues would
have been one hundred eighty today. Gerald Wexler one of
the greatest record executives in the history of American R
and b unk, blues, pop, and rock and roll. You
revive Aretha's career, you sign led Zeppelin, and you launch
(26:08):
muscle Shoals. You acquire Stax Records and build it into
a powerhouse, and you get all those titles. That is
Jerry Wexton port of the Big Time. Incredibly smart kid.
Jumped two grades, graduated George Washington High School at fifteen,
went to Kansas State and you would imagine a little
little rough for a sixteen year old or whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Little apple.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Yeah, so from the big apple to the little apple.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Come on, Aggieville is a great place.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
He drops out. He and lists in the US Army
said he needed to grow up a little bit. He
got out, went back to Manhattan, Kansas, got his journalism
degree in nineteen forty six.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Little Aggieville, Let's go.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
He loved music, started writing about music and eventually got
a gig at Billboard, working his way up the ladder
editor reporter than writer at Billboard magazine. And he didn't
like the magazine's chart titled race record, even though it
was the term the black artists at the times used,
that's what they called their music. Race music did not
(27:08):
sit well with them, and he coined the term rhythm
and blues in June nineteen forty nine. Quote came out
with a handle I thought suited the music. Rhythm and Blues.
It was a more appropriate and more enlightened label at
that time. He wrote it Billboard until I'm at Urdigan
(27:28):
offered to make him a partner at Atlantic Records in
nineteen fifty three, and they built it into an R
and B powerhouse, Ray Charles, the Drifters. He didn't just
sign the bands, but Jerry Wexler oversaw production. He recorded
Wilson Pickett. Dusty Springfield's legendary Dusty and Memphis record was Wexler.
He recognized the importance of Stax Records got them a
(27:50):
distribution deal. He flipped his lid over the then developing
Muscle Shoals Sound and launched Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, and
they Muscle Shoals rhythm section. But the biggest break probably
came in November sixty six, Columbia Records decided they didn't
want Aretha anymore. Her contract was up. She owed the
(28:12):
company money, said her record sales were subpar, and Jerry
jumped at the opportunity to sign her to Atlantic. Within
two years, he made her into the most successful singer
in the nation. Lady Soul stayed at number one for
sixteen weeks. That album and this one Chain of Fools
was written for Otis Redding, but Wexler said, now this
(28:34):
is aretha, and it stayed at number one from us.
I took it from Otis, took it from Otis said,
now that's an aretha.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
A real tough break, right.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Atlantic became the official home of soul music that same year,
nineteen sixty eight, Dusty Springfield told Wexler about a band
led Zeppelin, and they won the bidding. War signed Zeppelin.
Atlantic was growing so quickly Warners bought the label in
part because they wanted the catalog and the bands, but
they also wanted Wexler to be an executive over there
at Warner Brothers. He would expand their brand. He would
(29:06):
produce and win a Grammy for Dylan, and in nineteen
eighty three he was sent to work with a UK
singer songwriter by the name of George Michael, and the
pair recorded in.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Or his given names Paolau.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
They did correct, They did careless whisper at Muscle Shoals
in nineteen eighty three. Yem sound like that. No, just not,
It's probably a different version.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in
eighty seven, worked into his late seventies before retiring happy.
It would have been a hundred and eighth Cherry Wexler.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I might have gotten it wrong. I think it's Andreu,
kittykos pop On, Papa Papa Nicolau or Panayotu. That's what
it is. Sorry, Panayotu whatever some streak I work with. Well,
those are all real names, Matt. You know, it's an
(30:03):
interesting ton of very very famous musicians born today. Pat
Benattar and a lot of women here at Ridgemont High
are cultivating the Pat Benatar look, including Mimi'slotnik.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
We got Donald Fagan, Oh yeah, very likable personality.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Give him a call, he'll tell you the f off
Rod Stewart kind of lost his fastball, like Pat Harvey
a hole in that wall and the guy from Crash
Test Dummies.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Oh so that's what you're going with.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
No, I wish I was, but Matt, this one was
pretty interesting. We so little celebrate the violin. And I'm
not talking about Esther's rock and roll bolt fam violin.
Let's go charge.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Dj esther Is.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
She's still around, still around, nice, but the classical violin.
I thought she might get Jim Morad like that. UCLA
guy in the shorts.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Right, you're out.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
This one's here forever. This woman's actually interesting, you know.
And we've done this this date so many times. We've
celebrated all these people, but not this one. This is
Italian News.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
List, the Italian News Cornel Lostro resident Italiano mate Monis met.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Yo Sono Studioto in.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah, Nanjo, Salerno. Sunnenberg emigrated to New Jersey at eight.
Whole family moved because she was that good at the violin,
studied at Juilliard, then the Aspen Music Festival and school.
(31:47):
At twenty. In nineteen eighty one, which is apparently this
is unheard of, she became the youngest prize winner ever
in the Walter W. Naumberg Intern National Violin Competition.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Oh that's the big one.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
It absolutely is.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
It is the It is the Oscar I've won the
big one violins.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
She became basically the world's most prominent violin player, criticized
often for her frumpy clothes and wacky, reckless abandon while
performing wild facial grimacing.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Can you not do that with your face?
Speaker 2 (32:30):
She is the subject of a documentary called Speaking in
Strings that won the two thousand Academy Award for documentaries.
I think in that I don't think s dj Ester
did not make it. This is this story takes a
wild turn. In the nineties, she cut her finger off
(32:55):
basically chopping onions preparing dinner for friends, which made her
learn to play with three fingers during recovery like Tchaikowsky
with three fingers, and she got really depressed and did
attempt suicide during that time and apparently the gun did
not fire. Oh, one hundred percent recovery. Now it's just
(33:19):
a memory. Sixty Minutes has done two features on her.
The performance we're listening to is actually from Johnny Carson,
which she performed on several times, even an episode of
Dharma and Greg where she played herself. Masters from New
Mexico State. Let's go. Aggie's just like Waxler Aggieville in
(33:44):
Kansas State, never been married, doesn't seem to date either,
performs at symphonies around the world, and she is now
the Loyola, New Orleans Resident Artist.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Can you not be so frumpy? Can you not make
those faces?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
We understand that you are a brilliant violinist, perhaps the
best we've seen in one hundred years, but the faces
you make are so unsavory Nadja. Why must you make
of the face.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
I'll punch you with my three fingered fist. You shut up. You.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
She started to run out of money when she wasn't performing,
and she cut her finger off, so she just like
puts second skin on it and just learned to like, Hay,
I'm an eggett.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah? Like a team, you know, you have to move
your right tackle over the left, you know, twenty minutes
before kick right got to do.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Hey, let's go guys, So.

Rutgers with those two tussle. And that's coming up on Monday.
So we're going to have like a one o'clock show,
(02:56):
and I think the Clippers are going to play right
after that. Yeah, double up. You see how the win
erse Yeah, well, you know an NBA team and we'll see. Uh, Matt,
I do have a word of the day for you.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
With his words the word of the day.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Uh, Kelly Stafford, Matt one of the most important to you,
dear friend of yours, forty six years old. Uh, mother
of four loves to embarrass her husband and her husband's
team through her NFL podcast and her attention seeking ways.
Am I wrong to say?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Uh? She has taken aim at you in the past.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
She has and I'm gonna come right back at him.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
You're gonna take aim. Watch this ame.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Uh, they're good for my legs. I'm gonna come right
back at him. Uh. And uh. Kelly Stafford has the
flu and her daughters have the flu, and you know,
I mean, there's a lot going on in La, but
she wants everybody to know that she has the flu.
And because of her sickness, she completely understands that she
(04:14):
probably shouldn't be in the house with matt Stafford, who's
got a big playoff game, you know, on Monday. So
just so you know, they all have fevers, according to
Kelly Stafford, and they can't have that in the house
with Matthew going into the playoffs. So we're gonna have
to do our best not to get him that flu,
(04:37):
she said.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So it takes Hey, look, everyone's got a pitch in
not easy to want a playoff game. You know, everybody's
got to do their part. That's their job. Support your
husband and your father and make sure he does not
get sick. That is what you have to do this week,
Stafford family. So let the world know that that is
exactly the task at hand. And how you you intend
(05:00):
to attack it now.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Kelly Stafford has attacked a few things over the year.
She attacked the rapper blueface in the suite at so Far.
She didn't like this colo yellow, the colo girls moving
around while he was geeking it. She didn't like the
fans yelling her at her in Detroit. She doesn't like
what's happening to Joe Burrow because she feels like that's
what happened to Matt Stafford in Detroit, even though they
(05:23):
paid him a bunch of money and traded him where
he wanted to go. And she talked about dating another
quarterback at Georgia to make Matt jealous. That was a
big story.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
That was a good one.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And she attacked fred and I she was half right, Yeah, Peter,
the hell with Frederick, But Peter should not have been attacked.
So Kelly Stafford still doing it big in twenty twenty five,
still showing her colo to the city. Every time she
(05:53):
opens her mouth. It is a must listen podcast. But
they all have flues and they don't know what's to do.
They don't want to get Matt sick. I appreciate that.
I don't want to get sick either. Right.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Oh, you didn't say Matthew. I thought you met me
because we know that it's not Matt. It's Matthew according
to Kelly. So when you said Matt, I assumed you
met me.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Well I did it. I was talking about Matt Stafford,
and I was being intentionally disrespectful in my way. So
you could take it to Echo Park.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah. People at the dream.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Set, all right, here it is. It's not really.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Number of the Day. This one's too good. I don't
know if you've you've seen it on the text do
so yet pee, But I would assume somebody has sent
it to you. The Number of the Day is too
Two hours ago, this posted at the account at Juice Kiffin.
(06:53):
Lane Kiffen's dog has his own Twitter seventy thousand followers.
At Juice Kiffin is where the world confirmed the rumors that,
in fact Lane and Layla Yeah are back together. Son
Knox is back in the house. She's moved from La
(07:15):
back to Oxford. They divorced some eight years ago. They
have rekindled their romance. They are back together, and instead
of posting it himself, his dog, Juice Kiffin wrote, who
is my new mom? She's fire and then Lane Kiffin retweeted, Okay,
(07:37):
this is really weird, juice, and that is how the
world discovered officially that Lane and Layla Kiffin are back
together again. What a world we live in.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
She's back, she moved to Oxford. She's back in the house.
Sonsack in the house. The sun plays for a PV
high look at that. Yeah, I wonder if they'll make
a permanent move all the way back to Oxford. Well,
it's wonderful to see him back.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Together, you know, isn't it. You know, nobody liked when
Burt Reynolds got divorced. You know, it was terrible. I
was team Lonnie. Everybody was upset when Lonnie and Bert
you know what I mean, Matt, I knew about when
Joe Lee and Brad Pitt called it quits.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That wasn't easy to stomach. Heart breaking, you know, heart breaking.
I'm very happy for the couple. I'm just astounded that
that's the man.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
You're gonna tell me Sarkesian's gonna get back together with
his ex wife Lane.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
You know, there's a lot of photos out there on
the web, and you know how sec folks are. They
follow your every move and there've been a lot of
pictures posted to you and Leila.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Just you know what nobody's the saying, Matt, nobody's the saint. Okay,
I'm saying, we got a lot to forgive. You know,
she's out there in Manhattan Beach. Who knows.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, I know exactly how we're gonna confirm this. I'm
gonna have my dog tweet out who's my new mom?
She's hot, And that's how we're gonna break the story
and make it official. Okay, Well, her.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Street talking to it. It's a big herb street. Yes,
you know, everybody's speaking through their dogs. And now I
don't know why you're not. All you're doing is feeding
your dog drugs.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Dog drugs. Somebody walking by the house while she was
tanning on the sun the patio dropped some drugs in
front of her and she ate them. Got stone for
two days.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Never seen a dog more like Chris Rock and New
Jack City than Matt's dog.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
He used to starting a Twitter account for your lizard.
Your lizard can cut you're talking for you?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Who's my dad? He's a truncolodite. What's throwing my dad.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
My perspective? Look at my dad's doing right now in
the rubin tug?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
All right?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Can you believe my dad does this?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Hey? Look, if I can't touch myself in front of
a lizard, I mean, come on, the lizard stupid?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Does the lizard have those chameleon like eyes that just
rotate like one hundred and eighty degrees where it's.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Like not that big? Know what you're talking about? But no,
they're not like big. They're not like giants steering. No,
it's not like that. Uh call it.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Take it all the way, Colin.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Today's song of the day is Ocean City by Langhorn Slim,
an appropriate song on a frog Man Friday on the
Petros and Money Show, as we Sail till four thirty,
handing it off to Josh Lewin and Tracy Murray in
Maryland as the Bruins look to right the ship against
the Terrapins.
Speaker 2 (10:32):

What do we got going Colin?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Lock it out?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Baby? Oh well?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Coming up next the top story, we saw a dead
and a live guy. Fun fact and quick hits all
the way to four thirty The Petro Send Money Show
right here on A five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Welcome back, everybody. It is the Petro Sand Money Show
on AM five seventy LA Sports. Been a heck of
a week in the city of Los Angeles. Thank you
for listening, thank you for hanging with us, and thank
you for monitoring the news through our sister station KFI.
(11:14):
We sure appreciate it. And a big thank you to
Tim Kaits, our executive producer, for keeping everybody honest. And
Colin Yee, what a week for Callin Yee a real
og shinobi guy who's done or engineering and production engineering
(11:35):
all week long. We appreciate you calling at Colin Yee.
Ten on X Madison Houston, the Chargers are taking on
the Houston Texans tomorrow. The game is on AM five
seventy LA Sports. It's like a one o'clock kick and
it's not the top story of the day, top story
(11:56):
of it.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Well, you set the scene there, pe wait a week.
It can feel like an eternity when it comes to
the postseason, but it has finally arrived. The Chargers will
kick off the NFL playoffs for Los Angeles. The Rams
will close it up for Los Angeles. Monday kickoff tomorrow
for the Bolts is on a five to seven. It'll
also be back on its typical home old ninety eight
point seven after the cancellation of Alter Ego. But either
(12:21):
place you want it here, you want it there, you
will get it. And of course you can always hear
it through the Chargers app or at Chargers dot Com
if you prefer to do that as well, because you're
not in earshot of either radio station. Both teams impacted
by the fires, no doubt the Chargers, I mean not
nearly like Major like many of Los Angelinos were impacted
by the fires, of course, but just for logistically speaking,
(12:43):
Chargers limited practice before we cut out for Houston yesterday afternoon.
Ram's gonna play their Monday night or in Arizona because
of air quality concerns, the NFL does not want to
contend with come Monday night. So how does that affect
the playoff games? I think probably the best way to
put it is we'll see. But talking with the coordinators,
talking with the players, one thing seemed to stand out
(13:05):
ahead of everything else, and that is leadership. And I'm
sure the Rams would probably say the same thing. It's
one of the reasons why you hire someone like Jim Harbaugh,
why you pay him as much money as you pay him, because,
to a man, everybody mentioned how he adjusted the situation,
how he made it as normal as possible, how they
feel like they did not miss a single second of
opportunity to prepare to practice for this matchup against the Texans.
(13:29):
And one of the themes was they weren't leaving. They
were not gonna leave for Houston early. They weren't going
to go back to their Coasta mesa facility that they
technically still occupy. That they wanted to stay in Los Angeles.
They wanted to practice in Los Angeles, and they wanted
to keep their schedule normal so all of their staff
and players could be in their homes, around their families
(13:50):
and do the best they could to help support this community.
They do feel a big sense of pride that they
aren't just the Chargers, but the Los Angeles Chargers or
LAFD Caps out here. They talked about donations to first responders,
to charities, and feeling as though that there is more
than just a football game out there, that they are
representing this city. Very proud to represent this city when
(14:13):
things get rolling on Saturday. And there's a lot of
things football wise that go into this game that maybe
don't appear on the surface, but certainly when you peel
back a layer, well, it is.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
A football game, you know, so most of the things
that go into it exactly right, Yeah, you know that's
football wise.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
So where I sit embedded with the team, things that
I see up close every day are just sort of
the player coach relationships with Jim Harbaugh when he was
named head coach. Considering what's happening around LA right now.
I don't want to use, you know, the word sacrifice,
that's not appropriate. But when Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa
(14:52):
take a combined twelve million dollars in pay cuts in
a game that has not promised you tomorrow because of
how violent and especially in the case of Joey, how
your body can betray you regardless of what you want
or how much work you put in. They took those
pay cuts because of what Jim Harbaugh pitched them and
what he sold them and what he asked of them
(15:13):
and said he felt he could deliver to them. With
Joe Ortiz to leave twelve million bucks on the table
and give that pair an opportunity to stick around and
make a run at a Super Bowl together so they
could try to navigate that thirty plus million dollars over
the cap situation resolved. They tried to do it with
Keenan Allen. He declined, they traded him to Chicago, but
(15:35):
Joey and Khalil agreed, And I'm sure that was something
that probably weighed on Harbaugh throughout the course of the season,
wid on defensive coordinator Jesse Minter throughout the season to
make right for those guys that did that so they
could be in this exact situation. They're very close. Khalil
and Joey Mack an absolute no brainer Hall of Famer,
one of the best pass rushers of his era. Joey
(15:56):
Bosa probably would have found himself in that same conversation
where it not for injuries that have probably sucked forty
percent of time and maybe when you factor in how
long it takes to rebound from injuries, maybe like fifty
to sixty percent of his production. And you know, when
he's out there, he's been one of the best edge rushers,
complete edge rushers in the game. But he just hasn't
been able to stay out there. So to sacrifice a
(16:18):
bunch of cash, seven million bucks for Joey, knowing that
this next contract probably isn't going to look anything like
that last one, even though he's only in his late twenties,
goes a long way, a long way for them to
have this opportunity, And now they get a chance to
get it going tomorrow, and the two of them are
going to be going up against an offensive line that
has struggled as much as any in the entire league.
(16:40):
They're going to be on their third string right guard tomorrow.
Shaq Losson is out, Khalil Green is out, so that's
an issue for them. Fifty two sacks taken by CJ. Stroud,
one of the highest holding penalty rates of any offensive
line in the game, eleven different combinations tomorrow, will be
twelve over the course of the season as they try
to figure this thing out and allow one of the
(17:00):
highest pressure rates in all of the NFL. But you know,
coach Charbay able to deliver on his promise to get
him there and to give them an opportunity to make
a run at a super Bowl together. Recognizing that the
likelihood of both of them being back next year, considering
their age, how much money they make, it's not impossible,
but it's the business of the NFL. You kind of
(17:22):
know how that looks. The other piece is Drwin and
I can say you've been around him, p you can
speak to it. I've never been and you can speak
to a lot better than me. You've probably been around
people like Durwin, but he's just different. It's different to
be around him. There is a presence with him that
is unlike anyone else. I don't know kind of the
(17:43):
best way. There's just an intensity there. But at the
same time, it's joyful, it's a smile, it's engaging. It's
locking eyes and asking you how your day is going,
and engaging with you and and that sort of thing.
Everybody absolutely loves the guy, adores the guy, plays with
and for the guy. And he's just named an All
Pro today as he should have been, as one of
(18:04):
the two best safeties in the game. And he wants
to believe.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
A lot of different things with him this year too, right, Yeah,
previous staff like he's up around the line of scrimmage.
That's exactly more and making a lot more because that's
his strength to make plays, not that he's not good
at the other stuff, but his impact is in the
box and it's been really really productive year for him
and he stayed healthy.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Yeah yeah, I mean you hit it on the head.
He is only one of two defensive backs that has
played fifteen percent or more of his snaps at the
line of scrimmage, and like you said, he's done. It
is a big nickel as a dinebacker, as a high safety,
as a box safety, as an outside corner, as a
designated pass rusher, to what you were talking about line
of scrimmage. He is a defensive back with twenty one
(18:49):
quarterback pressures that is so far and away the next
defensive back on the list, and he's second on the
team in tackles. He's got interceptions, he's got sacks five
and a half of them. He's got fumble recovery, he's
got passes defense, and he's got one of the lowest
completion rates and quarterback ratings against when he's in coverage.
It was great. Like you said, you know, the last
(19:10):
staff didn't feel like they used him right. They had
him high a lot, and it feels like you want
Derwin James as close to the ball at all times
as possible, and that's sort of what Jesse Minner and
this staff took on. And good for him because it
felt like he was falling out of that conversation and
people weren't talking about Derwin anywhere near as much as
(19:31):
they should considering the talent. And it's great to see
that this staff was able to sort of unlock that
and put him in positions where he was able to shine,
and today it paid off. You know, his name in
All Pro and he's going to play a playoff game tomorrow,
and it feels like that's something that's incredibly special to
him and his teammates. And it just feels like if
(19:51):
there's one thing, you know, if there is an X factor,
it's just him. I can't envision, And of course it
can happen probably, you know, only one team gets to
win the Super Bowl, but it's just hard to envision
him losing a playoff game the way he's played this
year and just how incredibly focused and intense he has
been these last couple of days. But games, the game,
(20:12):
weird stuff happens, and who knows, But I don't know
if anybody would want to sign up to go into
this thing with anybody else ahead of him.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Remember that, like you're feeling very confident, Matthew using confidence.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I don't like to loose confidence because everybody's.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Promethazine oozes out of the streets in the city of Houston.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Maybe that's why I have not been able to get
out of this hotel today, because I don't want to
be confronted with the promeothesne is oozing in the streets.
That would have compromised my performance in this particular moment
right now. Offensively, p it's centered on Justin Herbert. The
last time he was in the playoffs, he put on
a clinic in the first half, leading his team to
a twenty seven zero lead, led mostly off turnovers, But
(20:54):
then his second half was as bad as he or
anyone could have ever imagined. People who tried to put
Herbert in the conversation, you know, with Mahomes and Allen
and Lamar and Joe Burrow routinely gets swatted away because
he's only been in the playoffs once in his previous
four seasons and lost a game in which his team
led twenty seven to zero. He's in his fifty year now,
(21:14):
it's just his second playoff appearance, and it feels like
he's last two and a half games that he is
building toward this to play his best when his best
is required. I don't know, you know, I can't imagine
he felt like he saw the finish line over these
two and a half games, but it just coins him
playing his best football this season. I'm sure a lot
(21:35):
of his health. You know, he busted up his foot
in training camp, rolled the ankle in Carolina and wasn't
right for about, I don't know, five six games. But
feels like this team is in a real good spot
for where they want to be and what they want
to do this playoff and how they feel these these
matchups line up with them. He's throwing twenty three touchdowns
(21:58):
at just three picks. Aaron Rodgers hold the ball forever
because you don't want an interception on your ledger. He
has been putting the ball in the way of danger.
He's pushing it downfield. He has one of, if not
the best deep ball thrower ratings this season. These are
not bubble screens, these are not safe throws this season,
but twenty three touchdowns and three picks. He has got
(22:20):
his longest or I should say his largest average depth
of target and he has got his largest yards per
attempt and reception, so he is pushing the ball downfield,
yet he has been able to take care of it
at a historic fashion. Twenty three to three, a franchise
record and the third best number in the history of
(22:42):
the league. It feels, it feels good. It almost feels
too good. It just the coaches. I think if it
were the past, you would try to figure out how
this thing's going to go wrong when it's set up
like this, But this does feel like a different group
that that walks around with responsibility on their backs. For
(23:03):
these players, anything can happen. The Texans throttled the Browns
last year in CJ. Stroud's postseason debut, and a lot
of people were picking Cleveland with that defense and Miles
Garrett and Joe Flacco playing as well as he was,
and they got absolutely humiliated in Houston by Stroud, Demiko Ryans,
(23:24):
both rookies and their positions. So you certainly don't ever
want to overlook that it's a team with playoff experience,
a team with a playoff win, and a team that
was to some degree counted out that overcame all of
that and put on an absolute clinic to get a
win in the wild card round. Would love for this
team to get this win the Chargers and maybe if
(23:44):
it lines up, get a shot at the Chiefs in
the divisional round to slay that dragon and end and
end there. You know, half decade of dominance.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Well yeah, but you gotta win this one.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Gotta win this one first. Go and you can start
talking about.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Holiday touchdown and I'm gonna go crazy, Yes you are.
We're gonna have Barry word on, Harvey Williams dead a
live guy, Burt Neil Smith dead a live guy. Birthday
of the Day coming up, that coming. That's how I
love though the Breathewrits. We got UCLA Maryland Bruins turps.
(24:23):
But first we'll wrap it up. Thanks for listening, everybody.
Welcome back, everybody. The Petrosen Money Show's going all the
way till around four thirty tonight on this frog Man Friday,
because we have UCLA at Maryland. Don't worry about that
(24:46):
one getting moved or canceled. It's in the state of Maryland.
Of course. You can podcast our show on the iHeartRadio
app for your smartphone and join the Petrosen money on
demand tea of listeners and really immerse yourself in great
sports talk. But we appreciate you. We appreciate everybody listening
(25:10):
all week and podcasts in the show. We know it
hasn't been an easy week and you've been monitoring on
KFI and many other sources. But we are all Angelino's
trying our best to be together. So let's get it
going with the Dead and a live Guy Birthday of
the Day live from the City of Surrup.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yes, he from Houston from the seven to one to
three your dead Guy Birthday of the Day. Two words
more bass. I'm guessing Jerry Wexler was a fan of
the Christopher Walkin sketch on SNL as he died in
two thousand and eight, and when asked what he wanted
on his tombstone, he said two words more bass.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
The man that coined the term rhythm and blues would
have been one hundred eighty today. Gerald Wexler one of
the greatest record executives in the history of American R
and b unk, blues, pop, and rock and roll. You
revive Aretha's career, you sign led Zeppelin, and you launch
(26:08):
muscle Shoals. You acquire Stax Records and build it into
a powerhouse, and you get all those titles. That is
Jerry Wexton port of the Big Time. Incredibly smart kid.
Jumped two grades, graduated George Washington High School at fifteen,
went to Kansas State and you would imagine a little
little rough for a sixteen year old or whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Little apple.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Yeah, so from the big apple to the little apple.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Come on, Aggieville is a great place.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
He drops out. He and lists in the US Army
said he needed to grow up a little bit. He
got out, went back to Manhattan, Kansas, got his journalism
degree in nineteen forty six.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Little Aggieville, Let's go.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
He loved music, started writing about music and eventually got
a gig at Billboard, working his way up the ladder
editor reporter than writer at Billboard magazine. And he didn't
like the magazine's chart titled race record, even though it
was the term the black artists at the times used,
that's what they called their music. Race music did not
(27:08):
sit well with them, and he coined the term rhythm
and blues in June nineteen forty nine. Quote came out
with a handle I thought suited the music. Rhythm and Blues.
It was a more appropriate and more enlightened label at
that time. He wrote it Billboard until I'm at Urdigan
(27:28):
offered to make him a partner at Atlantic Records in
nineteen fifty three, and they built it into an R
and B powerhouse, Ray Charles, the Drifters. He didn't just
sign the bands, but Jerry Wexler oversaw production. He recorded
Wilson Pickett. Dusty Springfield's legendary Dusty and Memphis record was Wexler.
He recognized the importance of Stax Records got them a
(27:50):
distribution deal. He flipped his lid over the then developing
Muscle Shoals Sound and launched Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, and
they Muscle Shoals rhythm section. But the biggest break probably
came in November sixty six, Columbia Records decided they didn't
want Aretha anymore. Her contract was up. She owed the
(28:12):
company money, said her record sales were subpar, and Jerry
jumped at the opportunity to sign her to Atlantic. Within
two years, he made her into the most successful singer
in the nation. Lady Soul stayed at number one for
sixteen weeks. That album and this one Chain of Fools
was written for Otis Redding, but Wexler said, now this
(28:34):
is aretha, and it stayed at number one from us.
I took it from Otis, took it from Otis said,
now that's an aretha.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
A real tough break, right.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Atlantic became the official home of soul music that same year,
nineteen sixty eight, Dusty Springfield told Wexler about a band
led Zeppelin, and they won the bidding. War signed Zeppelin.
Atlantic was growing so quickly Warners bought the label in
part because they wanted the catalog and the bands, but
they also wanted Wexler to be an executive over there
at Warner Brothers. He would expand their brand. He would
(29:06):
produce and win a Grammy for Dylan, and in nineteen
eighty three he was sent to work with a UK
singer songwriter by the name of George Michael, and the
pair recorded in.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Or his given names Paolau.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
They did correct, They did careless whisper at Muscle Shoals
in nineteen eighty three. Yem sound like that. No, just not,
It's probably a different version.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in
eighty seven, worked into his late seventies before retiring happy.
It would have been a hundred and eighth Cherry Wexler.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I might have gotten it wrong. I think it's Andreu,
kittykos pop On, Papa Papa Nicolau or Panayotu. That's what
it is. Sorry, Panayotu whatever some streak I work with. Well,
those are all real names, Matt. You know, it's an
(30:03):
interesting ton of very very famous musicians born today. Pat
Benattar and a lot of women here at Ridgemont High
are cultivating the Pat Benatar look, including Mimi'slotnik.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
We got Donald Fagan, Oh yeah, very likable personality.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Give him a call, he'll tell you the f off
Rod Stewart kind of lost his fastball, like Pat Harvey
a hole in that wall and the guy from Crash
Test Dummies.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Oh so that's what you're going with.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
No, I wish I was, but Matt, this one was
pretty interesting. We so little celebrate the violin. And I'm
not talking about Esther's rock and roll bolt fam violin.
Let's go charge.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Dj esther Is.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
She's still around, still around, nice, but the classical violin.
I thought she might get Jim Morad like that. UCLA
guy in the shorts.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Right, you're out.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
This one's here forever. This woman's actually interesting, you know.
And we've done this this date so many times. We've
celebrated all these people, but not this one. This is
Italian News.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
List, the Italian News Cornel Lostro resident Italiano mate Monis met.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Yo Sono Studioto in.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah, Nanjo, Salerno. Sunnenberg emigrated to New Jersey at eight.
Whole family moved because she was that good at the violin,
studied at Juilliard, then the Aspen Music Festival and school.
(31:47):
At twenty. In nineteen eighty one, which is apparently this
is unheard of, she became the youngest prize winner ever
in the Walter W. Naumberg Intern National Violin Competition.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Oh that's the big one.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
It absolutely is.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
It is the It is the Oscar I've won the
big one violins.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
She became basically the world's most prominent violin player, criticized
often for her frumpy clothes and wacky, reckless abandon while
performing wild facial grimacing.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Can you not do that with your face?
Speaker 2 (32:30):
She is the subject of a documentary called Speaking in
Strings that won the two thousand Academy Award for documentaries.
I think in that I don't think s dj Ester
did not make it. This is this story takes a
wild turn. In the nineties, she cut her finger off
(32:55):
basically chopping onions preparing dinner for friends, which made her
learn to play with three fingers during recovery like Tchaikowsky
with three fingers, and she got really depressed and did
attempt suicide during that time and apparently the gun did
not fire. Oh, one hundred percent recovery. Now it's just
(33:19):
a memory. Sixty Minutes has done two features on her.
The performance we're listening to is actually from Johnny Carson,
which she performed on several times, even an episode of
Dharma and Greg where she played herself. Masters from New
Mexico State. Let's go. Aggie's just like Waxler Aggieville in
(33:44):
Kansas State, never been married, doesn't seem to date either,
performs at symphonies around the world, and she is now
the Loyola, New Orleans Resident Artist.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Can you not be so frumpy? Can you not make
those faces?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
We understand that you are a brilliant violinist, perhaps the
best we've seen in one hundred years, but the faces
you make are so unsavory Nadja. Why must you make
of the face.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
I'll punch you with my three fingered fist. You shut up. You.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
She started to run out of money when she wasn't performing,
and she cut her finger off, so she just like
puts second skin on it and just learned to like, Hay,
I'm an eggett.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah? Like a team, you know, you have to move
your right tackle over the left, you know, twenty minutes
before kick right got to do.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Hey, let's go guys, So.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Just we'll be right back. We got a fun fact
for the final day of the week. Thanks for hanging
in there, and we will do quick hits and then
we will flip it to Josh Lewin And the game
is not Josh's cons right, it's the postgame interview.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
I can't handle it, Tracy, I can't. I see him
walking this way and I rearticipation. My guts start bubbling.
