Speaker 4 (01:30):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I did do a fun All right, we'll skip the
word and we'll do the final hour fun fact. It's
fun effect.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
It's the yeah we're three.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Fun fun fact.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Well, as the Bruins are in Piscataway, New Jersey, at
the Jersey Mic Center for their contest against Big ten
Stalwarts Rutgers, did you know the streets on a classic
Monopoly board were lifted from Atlantic City, all of them.
As a matter of fact, Atlantic City is the original
(02:02):
home Atlantic City, New Jersey, of the framework of Monopoly.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Both we all want to be there, Matt, Marvin.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Gardens Marvin Gardens all at the podcast Marvin City exactly right.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Nobody ever watched a boardwalk Empire like, wow, look at that.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
It is time for the number of the day, alright,
pee number of the days to obstructions I was given
basically two obstructions.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Go to a brewery one of two places, and go
to a water wall where the obstructions I was I
didn't even make you go see the Beatles statues. No
people wanted them posted on social. I got peppered last
night from a handful of PMS listeners on the IG,
like what happened with the obstructions? I say, Goeta, wait
for the show, do it on the show, and then
(02:54):
we'll post it on social. Oh wo, we did not
stay down. They posted us up in the galleria part
And for people that know Houston, it's like Los Angeles.
It'd be like staying in I don't know, downtown LA
and then being asked to visit a spot in Santa Monica,
(03:15):
or even worse, like you're staying in I don't know,
let's say still technically La, like the mouth of the
Valley and you've got to go somewhere in the South
Bar or something along those lines. We were really on
the outskirts, so La Carafe and Saint Arnold's. When I
requested one of those two from my cousin, he said
those are pretty much forty five minutes away from where
(03:38):
we are. It's going to be kind of tough. So
he took me to his favorite. He said, I will
take you to a brewery, though thoroughly Houston and it's
probably the largest, everything's bigger in Texas, most intimidating brewery
out here. So a place called Tajas is where we went,
and I did drink local beer, Tejas beer with the locals.
(04:00):
Now whether or not that qualifies, I don't know. But
I was at his mercy as he was the one
that was going out drinking with me. The second request
was the water wall. It was unseasonably cold in Houston.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
We did document that on Friday.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Thirty one degrees.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Hit it cakes all right, Pete tim listeners of the
Petro Some Money show. We are at the water wall.
You can see my breath. There's thirty one degrees out. Yes,
that's the wall, But where is the water?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
What?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Seven am right around that? Houston time closed? That's right closed? Wonderful.
There it is me in the water wall without the
water perfect closed for pump repair. Why are you weary?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Twenty twenty five watched seven tenths of a mile to
get there, seven tenths of a mile, seven tenths of
one mile, thirty one degrees. Did not anticipate that sort
of weather. I did not check for that sort of weather.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
It's a nice brisk walk, though, for it was a.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Brisk walk, and I felt that way till I got
to the wall and there was no water.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, no water in the water fountain. Matt, A lot
of people here can relay with that in a very
terrible way. Indeed, I say, I say, I say, uh,
We're gonna have to call Jurgen Leth and get him
on the show tomorrow and see if that's okay. I
don't think it is. I don't think Lars Vontreer and
Jurgen Leth would accept. My cousin took me to another brewery.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
But it's a big brewery, all right, and it's a
big mony brewery.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
And I mean, I guess I needed more information about
the hotel. That's what we'll do next year. We have
all year to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Water wall and no water closed for pump repairs.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
No water in the water fountain, no phone in the
phone booth.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yeah, feel free to post that, Kates uh the woods
social media feeds.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
All right, Ronnie, let's finish it up. This is the
song of the day.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
The City of the Angels is our song of the
Day from the band Journey. Because the Petros and Money
show his return to r AM radio on an Imo
horse Monday, transmitting a powerful signal throughout the City of
the Angels, the greatest city in the world. With the
hands of love and compassion, show us the way as
we journey through a Flex Alert with UCLA Bruins basketball
(06:37):
in our timeline versus Rutgers and Joys, where Josh Lewin
and Tracy Murray will get you ready to bring you
that Bruins pre game show. Bruins pre game Show beginning
at three o'clock.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Hey you, Ronnie will thank you ready, h I didn't
know about this Journey song. Of course, I'm not a
big journey guy.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You're not not.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Really.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
This is almost as good as Stone and Love.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I mean, I do think it's miraculous that they can
do it with those invisible instruments.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Oh, nobody plays the air keyboard like Journey.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
It's the first time I've ever saw, but I was like,
oh my god.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Put a bunch of tools separate ways. It's one of
the great visas.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
All right, everybody, we'll be right back with the top
story of the day coming up there. Thanks for listening, everybody,
Big Flex Alert today, Petrosen Money Show. We'll be done
(07:43):
at three UCLA Rutgers coming up, and then after the
game you'll have Tim Kaits to kick around a little
bit back and forth, like you're, well, it's the schedule.
I don't know. Well, you know what I don't. But
if you CLA Rutgers goes to overtime and then we
go right into the Clipper coverage till you're terrible, that
would be.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Tim Kates needs to have his say and needs to
have the replay, even though it will have just been
heard maybe fifteen minutes prior I heard. That's all the
post came in is is the loop of Josh Lewin
and Mick Cronin. Don't worry, guys, if the UCLA game
goes long, I get pushed to eleven fifty for postgame
brewin talk, so you'll have Bruin talk either way.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
That sounds incredibly successful.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
M It's in the contract, everybody.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, gotta gotta run it.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
So enjoy Brewin talk with Tim Kates. And then you
got the Clippers versus the Miami Heat back at the
end too. It Dome trying to create some momentum again
in town and getting events going again. Pregame at six thirty,
tip off at seven thirty on seventy LA Sports. Right
now it is time for the top story of the day,
(08:50):
Top story of it.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Well, life comes at you pretty fast there. Uh, he
comes at you a little quick. One second you're feeling
pretty darn good, and three hours later you feel like
you just got stabbed in the gut with a serrated blade.
Three parts to the Chargers season. As I kind of
did the Instagram thing last night and put together, I
wanted to lay that out. I think it sort of
(09:13):
makes sense to do the same here. A regular season,
you go from five to twelve and twenty twenty three
to eleven and six and twenty twenty four qualify for
the tournament, just the third playoff appearance since twenty seventeen.
This regular season, I think I would sort of if
I were to rank the importance of what happened that
was positive in the first season of the Jim Harbaugh
(09:35):
era was there was no chargering. It was a verb
that was applied to football because of the previous twenty
or so years, some would even say thirty forty years
of sort of the interesting way that the Chargers would
figure out how to lose football games. There was none
of that this year. Instead, they had comeback wins, a
huge with a playoff berth on the line comeback win
over the Broncos having trailed twenty one to ten early
(09:57):
in that one. We had a dominant defense events on
a Charger team for the first time in six years,
and even that Gus Bradley team that went to the
playoffs in twenty eighteen, the defense was a little fluky
as opposed to just a team that you kind of
knew how they were going to play and week in
week out, really save one game against Tampa that got
(10:18):
away from him. That was a real embarrassment, a real
ass kicking.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Played all right.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
The draft, Joe Ortiz just hired as general manager for
the first time after being a number two in Baltimore
for pretty much his whole career, or number three kind
of in that front office with Ozzie Newsom and then
the number two guy righted to Eric Tacosta. You know,
his first draft could not have gone better. His first
two picks, Joe Walt and Lad McConkie are certainly going
to be all rookie selections. His late selections, two fifth
(10:48):
rounders Tarheeb still ended up with four interceptions. Starting slot corner.
Cam Hart, thought to be a bit of a project,
ends up as a starting outside corner out of Notre
Dame that goes great and he know has smart signings.
He kind of is in. You can see there's a
connection with he and his head coach in the players
that he identified that he was able to afford. Having
(11:11):
inherited a thirty five million dollar over the cap situation
he had to figure out. Traded away Keenan cut Mike Williams,
restructured some contracts of Khalil Mack and that left him
to make trades for guys like Elijah Molden, to sign
one year contracts for players like Puna Ford and Christian
Fulton and JK. Dobbins and Will Disley certainly all Bud Dupree,
(11:33):
all not even second but even almost third tier free
agents that third wave of free agency.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And it all came together well.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
And I think the other thing that I felt like
went really well this regular season was you kind of
felt like this Charger team had an identity, like you
knew what they were, what they wanted to do, and
how they were going to do it. And it pretty
much held for him for all seventeen games this season,
Like I said, yeah, you got one that got away
in Tampa. That was certainly the the outlier, and that
was certainly a rough go. But you hung in there
(12:03):
and traded punches with teams like Baltimore, the Chiefs, the
teams that'll be favored to win the Super Bowl from
the AFC, and you won the games you were supposed
to win, and that's typically a path to a playoff
berth year and in year out, win the games you're
favored to win. Play competitive football against the better teams
in the league. See if you can win one or
two of those, and that's sort of the road to
(12:25):
ten wins and a ticket to the tournament. And they
made it work, and it felt like it worked sort
of the way they laid it out. Second part is
the playoff disappointment because of all of that, especially playing
their best football the final month of the season, the
way they had the comeback win over Denver, the dominating performances,
(12:49):
specifically on the offensive side of the ball, scoring forty
and thirty four points in back to back weeks to
close out the season, while the defense continued to dominate
as they had all year. Special teams was cooking, players
were healthy. Justin Herbert was the number one quarterback in
the NFL via EPA, and you felt like it was
(13:10):
a great matchup for them. That Houston's offense had struggled
mightily everything that they struggled with, the Chargers were strong
at defensively, and it showed early defense did its job.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
They did have an opportunity to take some control of
the game. Yeah, and they did not.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
They did not.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
The offense played its worst game of the year, far
and away. Justin Herbert played the worst game of his career.
I mean, not just the year, his career. Three interceptions
on the season, four one of them on Will Disley,
but still four interceptions in this game. And it just
goes beyond that. You're talking about a completion percentage of
(13:51):
forty four percent, sailing throws, short arming throws, throwing guys,
you know, to guys that were open eight, throwing balls
up that you know, from one side, from outside the
right hash to the left side to a receiver that's
not known as a fifty to fifty ball receiver, throwing
that late that leads to an interception, just like backbreaking plays.
(14:15):
And if I'm you know, going to try to play
the defend Justin Herbert position. I think it's the like
you said, the opportunities that were lost in the start
of that game. You know that you have a third
in inches and whether or not it's his call or not,
like you have to quarterback sneak that you can't be
handing the ball behind the right side of the line
with Jamari Sawyer and Joe All who already on the
(14:38):
opening of that drive had been beaten pretty handily on
a couple snaps, and you're giving the ball to JK
five yards behind the line of scrimmage instead of having
Justin Herbert sneak it for the six inches to hopefully
post a touchdown on an opening drive and go right
down one of the most dominant defenses in the NFL's
throat and put a six and then a seven on
the board. And then the defense does the job of
(15:01):
creating the opportunity. On the first offensive play, they give
you a short field and Will Disley drops a ball
on a second and nineteen that would have given them
a first down and a first and goal from the five.
It's just a flat out drop and from there pee
six points and a dominant time of possession on those
two drives and the following drive to nine consecutive possessions
(15:25):
from this offense, despite two more turnovers created by the defense.
Nine consecutive possessions where they did not score and either
punt it or through interceptions.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Well, I know you wouldn't make excuses, Matt, because you
know that's just not your bag. Don't put it past me.
But you know, I mean, it's a four quarter game,
and exactly you have to play all four quarters. And
even if you do take control of the game and
you get your confidence going, I mean, you saw that team.
They weren't going away. They were playing good football, much
(15:56):
better football. Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry. It just took
me a second to figure out that you weren't talking
about the Environmental Protection Agency. It's expected points at it. Yes,
it's just a metric, I mean. And and look they
were playing they had I think I agree with you.
They had an identity. They were playing great football. Maybe
they ran into a buzzsaw. Maybe they're not quite there
(16:17):
yet as a as a you obviously not quite there
yet as a whole. Uh. You know, Harball hasn't been
there an entire calendar year yet. And and you know
every team every great championship team, if they're going to
be a championship team, takes steps. You know, you don't
just go straight to the top and win it all.
And and and maybe that's a step for them. Uh.
(16:40):
It felt a lot like that Jacksonville game, but not
as bad unless you're like a real big Chargers fan
and you're living and dying with those early opportunities and
and they were. They were squandered, There's no doubt about it.
They had opportunities to kind of take over and it
looked like they were in control, and then it ended.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Yeah, they're you know, I think their flaws are floss.
The concerns of the regular season showed up tenfold in
the playoffs. Right, the interior of that line and how
just much pressure Herbert was taken on the games they
were running. Once they realized they weren't getting around Slater,
Alt had a little bit of a rough go, but
for the most part they were just coming straight up
(17:18):
the gut finding themselves. And that was an issue all year.
Right the interior of the line. The tackles were good,
interior wasn't great. They never really had a true pass
catching tight end. They sort of found will Disley to
be that despite never being that in his career, and
you got a huge drop and you got a ball
that you know should catch instead at Ricochet's off his
hands for the game ending essentially the game ceiling interception.
(17:41):
And you had a couple issues where you'd sort of
tried to piece a secondary together and you got by
with it. And in this one you just kind of
saw CJ. Stround find a rhythm. The pass rush had
sort of fallen off late. You know, you thought about
some of those older legs in the pass rushing Topre
and Khalil, and how would those be, you know, how
would they be playing late the season versus early in
the season at their age. And I think you saw
(18:03):
the pass rush slide off a little bit and all
those things I think showed up and credit that. Like
you said, Texans are a good team. It's top five
defense in every category. In that defense was everything that
it said it was all season long.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
But Bose kept very poor containment throughout the game.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
That's that's yes.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
If it was flat chair, I would have been screaming
at him. Yeah, flag Fly would have been screaming.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
And he got pulled late. He got pulled for Tully.
You know, when it was still a ten point game,
you started to see it be Tuleyan Khalil moving, you know,
kind of forward for the remainder of that game. Final thing,
just real quick futures bright, you know, like we said,
because Joe Ortiz comes in with thirty five million bucks
over the cap this year, he's got seventy seven million
to spend and he's only got one major contract he's
(18:46):
got to figure out, and that's Rashaan Slater, who will
get paid over twenty million.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Bucks a year.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
But that's still a lot of money moving forward for
him to spend with the nucleus of this team pretty
much intact on some affordable contracts, young players, Derwin James
locked up for two more years, Dayan Henley, lad McConkie,
Joe Walt, all of these guys our young players on
rookie deals or very affordable contracts. Your superstar and Durwin
is locked up, and you can go out and try
to spend some money. I think first order of business
(19:11):
would probably be t Higgins if Cincinnati's going to be
crazy enough to let him go. The guy's twenty five
years old and he's one of the best outside receivers
in the game. You got a center and Ryan Kelly
that's up for free agency, one of the best in
the game in Indianapolis, that could probably go a long
way to try to settle that interior of the line.
And they'll pick twenty second or twenty third, depending on
what happens tonight. And we saw what he was able
(19:32):
to do with the first class. So Peyton Mannings first
five seasons zero and three in the postseason, and that
fifth season he lost in the wild card round forty
one to nothing. The next year he won the MVP
and the Colts made an AFC Championship appearance. Is that
the path for Herbert? I have no idea, but he
just broke Peyton Manning's record for most passing yards in
the first five seasons, So at least they're sort of
(19:55):
in sync on those sort of things. And maybe, like
you said, you get your first year to establish some
and maybe next year is the year they can really
try to take that step.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
He established an identity for them. I mean, they had
some some holes that got exposed I think in the playoffs,
And give CJ. Stroud credit, he was spectacular. As the
game went on, he got better and better and he ran.
You know, Herbert, did you get don't want to run
the ball and all?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
He literally didn't run, not a single rush.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
And you know you want your kicker not to do
too much thinking, but man, you can't be that stupid.
All right, we'll be back with more great sports talk.
That's it for the Chargers. It ended too quickly and
so abruptly.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Yeah, sure did four hour flight home to think about
how quickly that it ended.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeh, Yeah, it's over.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Coming up the next We are off early, off, before
we would even be on the air the Petros and
Bunny Show. Happy to be back on this week. Hanging
there tonight, stay up with kfive for all the latest
(21:05):
information on the wildfires, and of course we are live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You can podcast the show
and enjoy it later. UCLA Rutgers believe it or not,
is coming up next at three point thirty, So Matt
and I will do the Dead and Alive Year twenty
or whenever we're in here nineteen. We are always looking
(21:27):
for new people for the Dead and Alive Guy Birthday
of the Day and beating out Horatio Alger who was
a huge pedophile. We talked about it, but I knew
that going in. I didn't run into it. I knew
it going in.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
It's much better knowing going in.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Now today we have some Greek news. I think you'll
like this week news importunately knowing you, Matt.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
News that is Greek invented de mont Greci.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
And we're the first people.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Who you know we seek now here's petrouls up.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
A donkeys, but that often we celebrate Greek figures here
on the shown, not for any good reason. Writers, singers
times we do.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
You know they're gonna be good in there?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Well you God van Gellis, you know the great composer Philiosophia. Matt,
you know philosophy. We talk about art. We think we
are the first people to think we didn't bastardize society
like the perverted masturbatory romans, but.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
We needed that to evolve as a people, as a civilization.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I guess whatever today we have speaking of evolving. Matt
Yannis Fruccies Yanni's Truccies okay, one hundred and fifteen years
old today. Greek modern painter and set designer who achieved
international fame. Born in the Athens Harbor town, of Pereeus.
(23:00):
He understood Byzantine iconography, match with with it with very
important for all Greek art. I can you understand the iconography?
He's studied a little bit in Istanbul, Paris and Italy,
came back to Greece in the nineteen thirties and created
some of the greatest, most homo erotic paintings of all time. Well,
(23:23):
that's all kind of thing, if that's the right. Did
he smoke on the pole? I believe he did. Okay,
I mean, Matt, you look at his art. Yanni's filled
his canvases with homo erotic images of vulnerable men like us.
It's strong women and women.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Oh yeah, I know this going in. That was the
hook I circled this date reminder.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Here's here's a Greek art, and here's some clouds. Hell no,
here's some poots. There's plenty of puzzo, plenty man.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, what kind of puzzo is he?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Like?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
One with hair? Oh? And there's a girth that he
seemed to paint over and over the face of modern
Greek art. He was called the face of modern Greece
in nineteen seventy two. A lot of sailors Matt lots
of pubes, strong packages, as I was saying, enough to
(24:22):
make a couple of postmokers like us hit the gallery.
For sure.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I can appreciate that hair.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
It's beautiful. Sometimes he shows you just the hair, you know,
leading down and then like the puzza would be somewhere
off the canvas. I guess you could draw it on.
And sometimes he just shows you the whole sausage, the
whole Johnny Schlanko, if you know what I'm saying. Sorry,
(24:52):
it's a terrible time in the city. His home in
Athens is a museum. You walk in get both.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Eyes bangun right in your face.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
His home it's not like Tunican's matt there's girth in length.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Okay, okay. I thought maybe it was just Berthie you
had mentioned the girths I.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Thought it was you look at it for yourself.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I don't know if I want to know you're looking
at it.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Breathing all heavy with Andrea Agasy. His home in Athens
is a museum which I sat it open in nineteen
eighty two. He died in Athens at seventy nine and
eighty nine. People go up to his grave all the
time and drop puzzos. Veryronic, yeah, very Yanni's torchies.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Well a good thing will be off the air.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
It's like one of those puzzos went into your brain.
It's turn it all up.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
It's time for British News. Straight get out.

You'll appreciate this one, as you said much.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
You've appreciated those freak members.

Little Night Bote to Cairo.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Here for our man Suggs epitome of cool late seventies
early eighties, before Quentin Tarantino relaunched the Look and Reservoir Dogs,
our Man Graham McPherson was sporting his skinny lapeled black suit,
white shirt, narrow tie, with sunglasses and man he had
some of the sweetest moves that have ever graced the
(26:24):
stage and still as he still performs, grace the stage
as the front man of Madness. His mom was a
Jess singer, Edith Gower. His father was a junkie and
odeed on Heroin left the family, so mom raised him
working the pubs, the clubs they moved around Liverpool. London
(26:45):
was not into school, dropped out, got back into school
at the assistance of his mom. She put him up
with the grandparents there and said he ditched his name
McPherson because he was being picked on for being scolish,
so he ended on the name Suggs because he used
to listen to a lot of jazz, after jazz musician
Peter Suggs. And he said he would spray paint the
(27:07):
walls of his school and neighborhood with the slogan Suggs
as our leader, and said it made him kind of
a popular kid.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
I always did Terrell Suggs Arizona State. But yeah, he was.
This guy wasn't a sun devil.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
He was just working odd jobs. Butching Peyton was at
a friend's house for a party and the band playing
was called the North London Invaders. Their lead singer left
and when he left, this guy Suggs was just like,
without any experience, well I could did, I probably take
care of that. You only step in here and next
(27:43):
thing you know, their madness with this dude that's just
at the party that happened to see the band and
their lead singer leads. And that is how madness prior
prior was called Morris and the Miners, a tribute to
Prince Buster nineteen seventy nine. They buil the following in London,
they released their first single, to Prints Again, homage to
their idol Prince Buster, and that was a hit top
(28:06):
twenty in the UK. They're on the map. Stiff Record
signs them their debut release, One Step Beyond, that same
song the Prince a hit follow up, a cover of
the aforementioned Prince Buster's One Step Beyond, was even bigger,
peaked at number two. Third single and original My Girl
big hit Madness arrived their sophomore effort, two top fives,
(28:28):
third release, three hits, including a two top twos and
nothing here in the US, But for whatever reason, at
the end of eighty one, their cover of It Must
Be Love hits the US charts, and then they re
released One Step Beyond and House of Fun comes out
(28:49):
in eighty two, their only number one hit ever in
the UK, despite a ton of top fives and number twos,
and it set up the Monster nineteen eighty three US
compilation release, which had Our House their biggest US hit,
number seven on the Hot one hundred.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
That's not like a real Madness fan song, though, man,
that's like BOC's Don't Fear the Reaper. They're so hardcore
compared to that one man.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
That's right, And that's what was interesting about that record,
the Madness Madness record, is it was just a compilation
of like not necessarily even hits, just sort of songs
from their previous three records. But unfortunately in eighty six
it was over.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
They broke up. Sugs went solo, did a bunch.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Of covers, Cecilia by Simon and Garfrunkle with the biggest one, Framus,
the top five hit in the UK. Madness got back
together and they're still together. They do shows from time
to time, a lot of charity. I heard Sugs on
Paul Weller's record last year, sixty six.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
He does a lot of that.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
I dabbled in acting a DJ on the BBC Radio Network,
hosts a bunch of stuff on TV. Married to Betty Bright,
singer of Deaf School since nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
So Happy sixty four sucks.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Singing at the Deaf School's tough Man.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Or incredible.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
I mean that's like playing as playing quarterback for the
Deaf team and those commercials. You know that guy who's
been rough right.

little long on how was your weekend? So we'll be
going until we got another forty minutes.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
We'll call it.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Did you do a fun fact, Matt? Or do you
want to right end of the number?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I did do a fun All right, we'll skip the
word and we'll do the final hour fun fact. It's
fun effect.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
It's the yeah we're three.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Fun fun fact.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Well, as the Bruins are in Piscataway, New Jersey, at
the Jersey Mic Center for their contest against Big ten
Stalwarts Rutgers, did you know the streets on a classic
Monopoly board were lifted from Atlantic City, all of them.
As a matter of fact, Atlantic City is the original
(02:02):
home Atlantic City, New Jersey, of the framework of Monopoly.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Both we all want to be there, Matt, Marvin.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Gardens Marvin Gardens all at the podcast Marvin City exactly right.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Nobody ever watched a boardwalk Empire like, wow, look at that.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
It is time for the number of the day, alright,
pee number of the days to obstructions I was given
basically two obstructions.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Go to a brewery one of two places, and go
to a water wall where the obstructions I was I
didn't even make you go see the Beatles statues. No
people wanted them posted on social. I got peppered last
night from a handful of PMS listeners on the IG,
like what happened with the obstructions? I say, Goeta, wait
for the show, do it on the show, and then
(02:54):
we'll post it on social. Oh wo, we did not
stay down. They posted us up in the galleria part
And for people that know Houston, it's like Los Angeles.
It'd be like staying in I don't know, downtown LA
and then being asked to visit a spot in Santa Monica,
(03:15):
or even worse, like you're staying in I don't know,
let's say still technically La, like the mouth of the
Valley and you've got to go somewhere in the South
Bar or something along those lines. We were really on
the outskirts, so La Carafe and Saint Arnold's. When I
requested one of those two from my cousin, he said
those are pretty much forty five minutes away from where
(03:38):
we are. It's going to be kind of tough. So
he took me to his favorite. He said, I will
take you to a brewery, though thoroughly Houston and it's
probably the largest, everything's bigger in Texas, most intimidating brewery
out here. So a place called Tajas is where we went,
and I did drink local beer, Tejas beer with the locals.
(04:00):
Now whether or not that qualifies, I don't know. But
I was at his mercy as he was the one
that was going out drinking with me. The second request
was the water wall. It was unseasonably cold in Houston.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
We did document that on Friday.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Thirty one degrees.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Hit it cakes all right, Pete tim listeners of the
Petro Some Money show. We are at the water wall.
You can see my breath. There's thirty one degrees out. Yes,
that's the wall, But where is the water?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
What?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Seven am right around that? Houston time closed? That's right closed? Wonderful.
There it is me in the water wall without the
water perfect closed for pump repair. Why are you weary?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Twenty twenty five watched seven tenths of a mile to
get there, seven tenths of a mile, seven tenths of
one mile, thirty one degrees. Did not anticipate that sort
of weather. I did not check for that sort of weather.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
It's a nice brisk walk, though, for it was a.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Brisk walk, and I felt that way till I got
to the wall and there was no water.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, no water in the water fountain. Matt, A lot
of people here can relay with that in a very
terrible way. Indeed, I say, I say, I say, uh,
We're gonna have to call Jurgen Leth and get him
on the show tomorrow and see if that's okay. I
don't think it is. I don't think Lars Vontreer and
Jurgen Leth would accept. My cousin took me to another brewery.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
But it's a big brewery, all right, and it's a
big mony brewery.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
And I mean, I guess I needed more information about
the hotel. That's what we'll do next year. We have
all year to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Water wall and no water closed for pump repairs.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
No water in the water fountain, no phone in the
phone booth.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yeah, feel free to post that, Kates uh the woods
social media feeds.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
All right, Ronnie, let's finish it up. This is the
song of the day.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
The City of the Angels is our song of the
Day from the band Journey. Because the Petros and Money
show his return to r AM radio on an Imo
horse Monday, transmitting a powerful signal throughout the City of
the Angels, the greatest city in the world. With the
hands of love and compassion, show us the way as
we journey through a Flex Alert with UCLA Bruins basketball
(06:37):
in our timeline versus Rutgers and Joys, where Josh Lewin
and Tracy Murray will get you ready to bring you
that Bruins pre game show. Bruins pre game Show beginning
at three o'clock.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Hey you, Ronnie will thank you ready, h I didn't
know about this Journey song. Of course, I'm not a
big journey guy.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You're not not.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Really.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
This is almost as good as Stone and Love.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I mean, I do think it's miraculous that they can
do it with those invisible instruments.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Oh, nobody plays the air keyboard like Journey.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
It's the first time I've ever saw, but I was like,
oh my god.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Put a bunch of tools separate ways. It's one of
the great visas.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
All right, everybody, we'll be right back with the top
story of the day coming up there. Thanks for listening, everybody,
Big Flex Alert today, Petrosen Money Show. We'll be done
(07:43):
at three UCLA Rutgers coming up, and then after the
game you'll have Tim Kaits to kick around a little
bit back and forth, like you're, well, it's the schedule.
I don't know. Well, you know what I don't. But
if you CLA Rutgers goes to overtime and then we
go right into the Clipper coverage till you're terrible, that
would be.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Tim Kates needs to have his say and needs to
have the replay, even though it will have just been
heard maybe fifteen minutes prior I heard. That's all the
post came in is is the loop of Josh Lewin
and Mick Cronin. Don't worry, guys, if the UCLA game
goes long, I get pushed to eleven fifty for postgame
brewin talk, so you'll have Bruin talk either way.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
That sounds incredibly successful.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
M It's in the contract, everybody.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, gotta gotta run it.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
So enjoy Brewin talk with Tim Kates. And then you
got the Clippers versus the Miami Heat back at the
end too. It Dome trying to create some momentum again
in town and getting events going again. Pregame at six thirty,
tip off at seven thirty on seventy LA Sports. Right
now it is time for the top story of the day,
(08:50):
Top story of it.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Well, life comes at you pretty fast there. Uh, he
comes at you a little quick. One second you're feeling
pretty darn good, and three hours later you feel like
you just got stabbed in the gut with a serrated blade.
Three parts to the Chargers season. As I kind of
did the Instagram thing last night and put together, I
wanted to lay that out. I think it sort of
(09:13):
makes sense to do the same here. A regular season,
you go from five to twelve and twenty twenty three
to eleven and six and twenty twenty four qualify for
the tournament, just the third playoff appearance since twenty seventeen.
This regular season, I think I would sort of if
I were to rank the importance of what happened that
was positive in the first season of the Jim Harbaugh
(09:35):
era was there was no chargering. It was a verb
that was applied to football because of the previous twenty
or so years, some would even say thirty forty years
of sort of the interesting way that the Chargers would
figure out how to lose football games. There was none
of that this year. Instead, they had comeback wins, a
huge with a playoff berth on the line comeback win
over the Broncos having trailed twenty one to ten early
(09:57):
in that one. We had a dominant defense events on
a Charger team for the first time in six years,
and even that Gus Bradley team that went to the
playoffs in twenty eighteen, the defense was a little fluky
as opposed to just a team that you kind of
knew how they were going to play and week in
week out, really save one game against Tampa that got
(10:18):
away from him. That was a real embarrassment, a real
ass kicking.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Played all right.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
The draft, Joe Ortiz just hired as general manager for
the first time after being a number two in Baltimore
for pretty much his whole career, or number three kind
of in that front office with Ozzie Newsom and then
the number two guy righted to Eric Tacosta. You know,
his first draft could not have gone better. His first
two picks, Joe Walt and Lad McConkie are certainly going
to be all rookie selections. His late selections, two fifth
(10:48):
rounders Tarheeb still ended up with four interceptions. Starting slot corner.
Cam Hart, thought to be a bit of a project,
ends up as a starting outside corner out of Notre
Dame that goes great and he know has smart signings.
He kind of is in. You can see there's a
connection with he and his head coach in the players
that he identified that he was able to afford. Having
(11:11):
inherited a thirty five million dollar over the cap situation
he had to figure out. Traded away Keenan cut Mike Williams,
restructured some contracts of Khalil Mack and that left him
to make trades for guys like Elijah Molden, to sign
one year contracts for players like Puna Ford and Christian
Fulton and JK. Dobbins and Will Disley certainly all Bud Dupree,
(11:33):
all not even second but even almost third tier free
agents that third wave of free agency.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And it all came together well.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
And I think the other thing that I felt like
went really well this regular season was you kind of
felt like this Charger team had an identity, like you
knew what they were, what they wanted to do, and
how they were going to do it. And it pretty
much held for him for all seventeen games this season,
Like I said, yeah, you got one that got away
in Tampa. That was certainly the the outlier, and that
was certainly a rough go. But you hung in there
(12:03):
and traded punches with teams like Baltimore, the Chiefs, the
teams that'll be favored to win the Super Bowl from
the AFC, and you won the games you were supposed
to win, and that's typically a path to a playoff
berth year and in year out, win the games you're
favored to win. Play competitive football against the better teams
in the league. See if you can win one or
two of those, and that's sort of the road to
(12:25):
ten wins and a ticket to the tournament. And they
made it work, and it felt like it worked sort
of the way they laid it out. Second part is
the playoff disappointment because of all of that, especially playing
their best football the final month of the season, the
way they had the comeback win over Denver, the dominating performances,
(12:49):
specifically on the offensive side of the ball, scoring forty
and thirty four points in back to back weeks to
close out the season, while the defense continued to dominate
as they had all year. Special teams was cooking, players
were healthy. Justin Herbert was the number one quarterback in
the NFL via EPA, and you felt like it was
(13:10):
a great matchup for them. That Houston's offense had struggled
mightily everything that they struggled with, the Chargers were strong
at defensively, and it showed early defense did its job.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
They did have an opportunity to take some control of
the game. Yeah, and they did not.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
They did not.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
The offense played its worst game of the year, far
and away. Justin Herbert played the worst game of his career.
I mean, not just the year, his career. Three interceptions
on the season, four one of them on Will Disley,
but still four interceptions in this game. And it just
goes beyond that. You're talking about a completion percentage of
(13:51):
forty four percent, sailing throws, short arming throws, throwing guys,
you know, to guys that were open eight, throwing balls
up that you know, from one side, from outside the
right hash to the left side to a receiver that's
not known as a fifty to fifty ball receiver, throwing
that late that leads to an interception, just like backbreaking plays.
(14:15):
And if I'm you know, going to try to play
the defend Justin Herbert position. I think it's the like
you said, the opportunities that were lost in the start
of that game. You know that you have a third
in inches and whether or not it's his call or not,
like you have to quarterback sneak that you can't be
handing the ball behind the right side of the line
with Jamari Sawyer and Joe All who already on the
(14:38):
opening of that drive had been beaten pretty handily on
a couple snaps, and you're giving the ball to JK
five yards behind the line of scrimmage instead of having
Justin Herbert sneak it for the six inches to hopefully
post a touchdown on an opening drive and go right
down one of the most dominant defenses in the NFL's
throat and put a six and then a seven on
the board. And then the defense does the job of
(15:01):
creating the opportunity. On the first offensive play, they give
you a short field and Will Disley drops a ball
on a second and nineteen that would have given them
a first down and a first and goal from the five.
It's just a flat out drop and from there pee
six points and a dominant time of possession on those
two drives and the following drive to nine consecutive possessions
(15:25):
from this offense, despite two more turnovers created by the defense.
Nine consecutive possessions where they did not score and either
punt it or through interceptions.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Well, I know you wouldn't make excuses, Matt, because you
know that's just not your bag. Don't put it past me.
But you know, I mean, it's a four quarter game,
and exactly you have to play all four quarters. And
even if you do take control of the game and
you get your confidence going, I mean, you saw that team.
They weren't going away. They were playing good football, much
(15:56):
better football. Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry. It just took
me a second to figure out that you weren't talking
about the Environmental Protection Agency. It's expected points at it. Yes,
it's just a metric, I mean. And and look they
were playing they had I think I agree with you.
They had an identity. They were playing great football. Maybe
they ran into a buzzsaw. Maybe they're not quite there
(16:17):
yet as a as a you obviously not quite there
yet as a whole. Uh. You know, Harball hasn't been
there an entire calendar year yet. And and you know
every team every great championship team, if they're going to
be a championship team, takes steps. You know, you don't
just go straight to the top and win it all.
And and and maybe that's a step for them. Uh.
(16:40):
It felt a lot like that Jacksonville game, but not
as bad unless you're like a real big Chargers fan
and you're living and dying with those early opportunities and
and they were. They were squandered, There's no doubt about it.
They had opportunities to kind of take over and it
looked like they were in control, and then it ended.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Yeah, they're you know, I think their flaws are floss.
The concerns of the regular season showed up tenfold in
the playoffs. Right, the interior of that line and how
just much pressure Herbert was taken on the games they
were running. Once they realized they weren't getting around Slater,
Alt had a little bit of a rough go, but
for the most part they were just coming straight up
(17:18):
the gut finding themselves. And that was an issue all year.
Right the interior of the line. The tackles were good,
interior wasn't great. They never really had a true pass
catching tight end. They sort of found will Disley to
be that despite never being that in his career, and
you got a huge drop and you got a ball
that you know should catch instead at Ricochet's off his
hands for the game ending essentially the game ceiling interception.
(17:41):
And you had a couple issues where you'd sort of
tried to piece a secondary together and you got by
with it. And in this one you just kind of
saw CJ. Stround find a rhythm. The pass rush had
sort of fallen off late. You know, you thought about
some of those older legs in the pass rushing Topre
and Khalil, and how would those be, you know, how
would they be playing late the season versus early in
the season at their age. And I think you saw
(18:03):
the pass rush slide off a little bit and all
those things I think showed up and credit that. Like
you said, Texans are a good team. It's top five
defense in every category. In that defense was everything that
it said it was all season long.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
But Bose kept very poor containment throughout the game.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
That's that's yes.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
If it was flat chair, I would have been screaming
at him. Yeah, flag Fly would have been screaming.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
And he got pulled late. He got pulled for Tully.
You know, when it was still a ten point game,
you started to see it be Tuleyan Khalil moving, you know,
kind of forward for the remainder of that game. Final thing,
just real quick futures bright, you know, like we said,
because Joe Ortiz comes in with thirty five million bucks
over the cap this year, he's got seventy seven million
to spend and he's only got one major contract he's
(18:46):
got to figure out, and that's Rashaan Slater, who will
get paid over twenty million.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Bucks a year.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
But that's still a lot of money moving forward for
him to spend with the nucleus of this team pretty
much intact on some affordable contracts, young players, Derwin James
locked up for two more years, Dayan Henley, lad McConkie,
Joe Walt, all of these guys our young players on
rookie deals or very affordable contracts. Your superstar and Durwin
is locked up, and you can go out and try
to spend some money. I think first order of business
(19:11):
would probably be t Higgins if Cincinnati's going to be
crazy enough to let him go. The guy's twenty five
years old and he's one of the best outside receivers
in the game. You got a center and Ryan Kelly
that's up for free agency, one of the best in
the game in Indianapolis, that could probably go a long
way to try to settle that interior of the line.
And they'll pick twenty second or twenty third, depending on
what happens tonight. And we saw what he was able
(19:32):
to do with the first class. So Peyton Mannings first
five seasons zero and three in the postseason, and that
fifth season he lost in the wild card round forty
one to nothing. The next year he won the MVP
and the Colts made an AFC Championship appearance. Is that
the path for Herbert? I have no idea, but he
just broke Peyton Manning's record for most passing yards in
the first five seasons, So at least they're sort of
(19:55):
in sync on those sort of things. And maybe, like
you said, you get your first year to establish some
and maybe next year is the year they can really
try to take that step.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
He established an identity for them. I mean, they had
some some holes that got exposed I think in the playoffs,
And give CJ. Stroud credit, he was spectacular. As the
game went on, he got better and better and he ran.
You know, Herbert, did you get don't want to run
the ball and all?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
He literally didn't run, not a single rush.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
And you know you want your kicker not to do
too much thinking, but man, you can't be that stupid.
All right, we'll be back with more great sports talk.
That's it for the Chargers. It ended too quickly and
so abruptly.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Yeah, sure did four hour flight home to think about
how quickly that it ended.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeh, Yeah, it's over.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Coming up the next We are off early, off, before

or whenever we're in here nineteen. We are always looking
(21:27):
for new people for the Dead and Alive Guy Birthday
of the Day and beating out Horatio Alger who was
a huge pedophile. We talked about it, but I knew
that going in. I didn't run into it. I knew
it going in.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
It's much better knowing going in.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Now today we have some Greek news. I think you'll
like this week news importunately knowing you, Matt.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
News that is Greek invented de mont Greci.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
And we're the first people.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Who you know we seek now here's petrouls up.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
A donkeys, but that often we celebrate Greek figures here
on the shown, not for any good reason. Writers, singers
times we do.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
You know they're gonna be good in there?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Well you God van Gellis, you know the great composer Philiosophia. Matt,
you know philosophy. We talk about art. We think we
are the first people to think we didn't bastardize society
like the perverted masturbatory romans, but.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
We needed that to evolve as a people, as a civilization.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I guess whatever today we have speaking of evolving. Matt
Yannis Fruccies Yanni's Truccies okay, one hundred and fifteen years
old today. Greek modern painter and set designer who achieved
international fame. Born in the Athens Harbor town, of Pereeus.
(23:00):
He understood Byzantine iconography, match with with it with very
important for all Greek art. I can you understand the iconography?
He's studied a little bit in Istanbul, Paris and Italy,
came back to Greece in the nineteen thirties and created
some of the greatest, most homo erotic paintings of all time. Well,
(23:23):
that's all kind of thing, if that's the right. Did
he smoke on the pole? I believe he did. Okay,
I mean, Matt, you look at his art. Yanni's filled
his canvases with homo erotic images of vulnerable men like us.
It's strong women and women.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Oh yeah, I know this going in. That was the
hook I circled this date reminder.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Here's here's a Greek art, and here's some clouds. Hell no,
here's some poots. There's plenty of puzzo, plenty man.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, what kind of puzzo is he?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Like?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
One with hair? Oh? And there's a girth that he
seemed to paint over and over the face of modern
Greek art. He was called the face of modern Greece
in nineteen seventy two. A lot of sailors Matt lots
of pubes, strong packages, as I was saying, enough to
(24:22):
make a couple of postmokers like us hit the gallery.
For sure.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I can appreciate that hair.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
It's beautiful. Sometimes he shows you just the hair, you know,
leading down and then like the puzza would be somewhere
off the canvas. I guess you could draw it on.
And sometimes he just shows you the whole sausage, the
whole Johnny Schlanko, if you know what I'm saying. Sorry,
(24:52):
it's a terrible time in the city. His home in
Athens is a museum. You walk in get both.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Eyes bangun right in your face.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
His home it's not like Tunican's matt there's girth in length.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Okay, okay. I thought maybe it was just Berthie you
had mentioned the girths I.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Thought it was you look at it for yourself.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I don't know if I want to know you're looking
at it.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Breathing all heavy with Andrea Agasy. His home in Athens
is a museum which I sat it open in nineteen
eighty two. He died in Athens at seventy nine and
eighty nine. People go up to his grave all the
time and drop puzzos. Veryronic, yeah, very Yanni's torchies.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Well a good thing will be off the air.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
It's like one of those puzzos went into your brain.
It's turn it all up.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Yeah, exactly right, you're alive. Guy's British News Peak.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Little Night Bote to Cairo.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Here for our man Suggs epitome of cool late seventies
early eighties, before Quentin Tarantino relaunched the Look and Reservoir Dogs,
our Man Graham McPherson was sporting his skinny lapeled black suit,
white shirt, narrow tie, with sunglasses and man he had
some of the sweetest moves that have ever graced the
(26:24):
stage and still as he still performs, grace the stage
as the front man of Madness. His mom was a
Jess singer, Edith Gower. His father was a junkie and
odeed on Heroin left the family, so mom raised him
working the pubs, the clubs they moved around Liverpool. London
(26:45):
was not into school, dropped out, got back into school
at the assistance of his mom. She put him up
with the grandparents there and said he ditched his name
McPherson because he was being picked on for being scolish,
so he ended on the name Suggs because he used
to listen to a lot of jazz, after jazz musician
Peter Suggs. And he said he would spray paint the
(27:07):
walls of his school and neighborhood with the slogan Suggs
as our leader, and said it made him kind of
a popular kid.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
I always did Terrell Suggs Arizona State. But yeah, he was.
This guy wasn't a sun devil.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
He was just working odd jobs. Butching Peyton was at
a friend's house for a party and the band playing
was called the North London Invaders. Their lead singer left
and when he left, this guy Suggs was just like,
without any experience, well I could did, I probably take
care of that. You only step in here and next
(27:43):
thing you know, their madness with this dude that's just
at the party that happened to see the band and
their lead singer leads. And that is how madness prior
prior was called Morris and the Miners, a tribute to
Prince Buster nineteen seventy nine. They buil the following in London,
they released their first single, to Prints Again, homage to
their idol Prince Buster, and that was a hit top
(28:06):
twenty in the UK. They're on the map. Stiff Record
signs them their debut release, One Step Beyond, that same
song the Prince a hit follow up, a cover of
the aforementioned Prince Buster's One Step Beyond, was even bigger,
peaked at number two. Third single and original My Girl
big hit Madness arrived their sophomore effort, two top fives,
(28:28):
third release, three hits, including a two top twos and
nothing here in the US, But for whatever reason, at
the end of eighty one, their cover of It Must
Be Love hits the US charts, and then they re
released One Step Beyond and House of Fun comes out
(28:49):
in eighty two, their only number one hit ever in
the UK, despite a ton of top fives and number twos,
and it set up the Monster nineteen eighty three US
compilation release, which had Our House their biggest US hit,
number seven on the Hot one hundred.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
That's not like a real Madness fan song, though, man,
that's like BOC's Don't Fear the Reaper. They're so hardcore
compared to that one man.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
That's right, And that's what was interesting about that record,
the Madness Madness record, is it was just a compilation
of like not necessarily even hits, just sort of songs
from their previous three records. But unfortunately in eighty six
it was over.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
They broke up. Sugs went solo, did a bunch.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Of covers, Cecilia by Simon and Garfrunkle with the biggest one, Framus,
the top five hit in the UK. Madness got back
together and they're still together. They do shows from time
to time, a lot of charity. I heard Sugs on
Paul Weller's record last year, sixty six.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
He does a lot of that.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
I dabbled in acting a DJ on the BBC Radio Network,
hosts a bunch of stuff on TV. Married to Betty Bright,
singer of Deaf School since nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
So Happy sixty four sucks.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Singing at the Deaf School's tough Man.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Or incredible.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
I mean that's like playing as playing quarterback for the
Deaf team and those commercials. You know that guy who's
been rough right.
