Speaker 2 (02:53):
Nothing?

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Nobody? All right, it's time with the top story of
three Things Thursday. We'll call it that one.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Three things.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
Well, we're gonna go back to the NFL today, pee
because a lot of people are upset and they have.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Air Viti bunts in New York on an NFL.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
No, not like that. I'm gonna do a quick three
things Thursday mock. Some people have a little bit of fun.
Let me get celebrate the Chargers.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Share Carr. We're gonna get after Derek carrds Aaron right,
tack the Raiders, praise the charge. That's right, let's go.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
We'll start nationally, though, a lot of people upset the
Lions got hammered in the divisional round. They like Dan Campbell,
they like his emotion, they like his postgame crying ways.
They love the idea of it down in the dumps
Detroit having their beloved NFL franchise deliver its first ever
Super Bowl appearance and potential Super Bowl title, and when

(03:55):
it fell apart thanks to a depleted defense, that was
never gonna support a playoff, or Jelloballs halftime performance or
Jared Goff reminding everybody and maybe this is fair, maybe
it's not that he is Jared Goff and at times
things can get a little sideways. For Jared Goff, turnover

(04:15):
plague offense exposed some of the biggest concerns surrounding him
instead of just accepting it. Yeah, the Lion's had a
fifteen win season. You could see how a matchup with
any of the Rams or Vikings or Commanders could be
a serious problem. That's why so many betters took the
points in the first place. But the football guys b
they're upset, talking heads, former players, former coaches, former gms,

(04:42):
all belly achin and pointing to one thing as to
why the Lions came up lame and were bearded in
their den Okay, the head coach hiring process, they say,
is what did them in? Excuse me that everybody knew
this was the year Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. We're

(05:04):
going to accept a head coaching opportunity. Too many good
options on the market.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Whether the wardship of the two coordinators distracted the team.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
From its purpose exactly right, Yeah, I can see that
sentimental connection available for Glenn in neither New York with
the Jets, of New Orleans with the Saints. For Ben,
Johnson would have his pick of potential franchise quarterbacks and
Trevor Lawrence or Caleb Williams, or the chance to build
it himself with Tom Brady in Las Vegas. Johnson, of course,
ended up choosing the Bears. Glenn went with the team

(05:32):
that drafted him in the first round. What does it matter? Well,
I guess it's something that's plagued the Rams in recent
seasons could very well happen to the Chargers next year
with Jesse Minner, maybe Greg Roman if they get him
some weapons, start to sizzle on that side of the ball,
and go with eleven wins again and maybe win a
game or two in the playoffs. They do not like
that assistants and coordinators have to interview while the playoffs

(05:55):
are still happening, and for Johnson and Glenn to see
Mike Rabill already get the Patriots gig a plum gig,
got your own private jet opportunity to route that jet
to Central Florida en route to the AFC Championship Game.
Who doesn't want that one premier opening was off the market.

(06:15):
So of course they're going to take the interviews, which
last hours, full of questions about staff and who you're
gonna hire. Is going to be ro C or DC?
How are you going to staff this thing? Expectations that
they have intimate knowledge of the roster. Well, these are
our free agents coming up this year? Who should we cut?
Do we need to redo this? Contra intimate knowledge of
potential free agents in the open market who you might

(06:36):
want the team to start doing homework on and spend
money on.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Seems like an imperfect process.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
Exactly right. They want a working knowledge of the draft,
where the team's draft pick is slotted, which blue chip
first rounder they would like to make an immediate impact.
It's presentation and interview does not take hours to prepare for.
It takes days. So we get the idea that coming
down the pike should be a ban on head coaching

(07:01):
hires until after the Super Bowl. That that's the logical
solution to this.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, but how do you get going out of the draft.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
There is absolutely zero reason they say to do it
any sooner than that drafts not till the end of April.
Combines not till the end of February, first week of March.
Stale that there is no business that needs to be
done on a deadline that will suffer because of a delay.
Is what those that are pushing back against this and

(07:27):
using this as the moment to try to get it changed,
that it would level the playing field for coaching candidates
and those involved with Super Bowl teams to get in
on the process. Really, the only way around it would
be to do what the Chargers did last year, and
that's hire a guy from the college ranks. But I
think we'd all agree that Jim Harbaugh is a bit
of an outlier on that front, having had all the
experience in the NFL prior and success in the NFL prior.

(07:48):
Doesn't seem like they're all of a sudden going to
start shifting to a bunch of college candidates just to
get a jump.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
What about Pink cart Hey?

Speaker 5 (07:54):
So why won't it happen? I think the answer is
quite obvious. So twenty four to seven, three sixty five league,
and if your team isn't in a spotlight because of
a miserable season, the league wants to figure out a
way to get you back in it to make sure
you keep hitting refresh on NFL dot com, on Vinnie
Bong's Twitter feed, and make sure that after Black Monday,
why it's gotta be called Black Monday, white Tuesday should

(08:17):
be called white Tuesday. I mean Mike McCarthy got fired.
Why and at White Monday?

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (08:22):
Coaching carousel is a good as as good a way
as any to do it. Just ask the show that
was on prior to us talked to Vinnie Bong for
two segments Raiders, I don't have a coach, just got
a GM, the Jets, the Patriots, Bears, Jaguars, Saints, Cowboys,
and of course Bennie Bong's Raiders. Their fan base is
fully engaged in the NFL newsfeeds, social media channels, refreshing

(08:47):
by the minute.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Who what?

Speaker 5 (08:48):
Who could it be? How much? Not just for the
head coach. Who's gonna be our corners coach? Who's gonna
do safeties? What abod d line? I gotta figure out
how's this guy gonna staff it? And then they hit
their mock drafts. They pair their play with their new
coaches system. What does Ben Johnson like to do? Because
I was thinking the Bears were going to take offensive live,
but maybe he wants one of these new tight ends
something like that's what they want. So what makes perfect

(09:10):
sense and what makes very little sense.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
It keeps the wheel turning, and that's all they really care.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
Exactly right, Grease the wheel of consumption. Consumption by the consumer.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Got to feed the monkey.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
It's the only lens you should ever look through, not
one that perhaps is shaded in common sense. Second thing,
here's the celebration part. Be thankful Los Angeles.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Well you just celebrated Harbaugh earlier.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
I just said he's he's in an you're not exact.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
You go out, can't argue with this ex You know,
higher Chargers are going to have a season, win, a
couple of win, a couple of playoff games, and then
Roman and mentor there you go. That's right, said that too.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
Here's part two to that second thing in three things Thursday,
LA has stability, something that many of the team still
in the market for a head coach do not have.
Joe Ortiz, Jim Arbaugh gonna be here with the Chargers
for a long time. You'd assume after what we saw
their first season, combined with their previous stops and their
NFL resumes they win. They've won. It's what they do.
The over runder was eight and a half. They won

(10:15):
eleven games. You got a GM, you got a head coach,
you got a quarterback. A monster advantage in this league
if you can get there, and just look to the
AFC Championship game. Bretviach, Andy Reid hired together. They draft
Patrick Mahomes together, they are a juggernaut. Brandon Bean, Sean
McDermott hired together. They draft Josh Allen together, juggernaut, Eric DaCosta,

(10:38):
John Harbaugh, Lamar Jackson, Les Sneid, Sean McVay. They both agree,
goff ain't the guy, even though you took him less.
Let's go get Matthew Stafford. You get the point. You
put that together and you're likely in the postseason consistently.
If you miss out, it's maybe one year at the
most before you get back in there the next and
you look at the mess the Jaguars are in. Two

(10:58):
head coaching candidates interested in the job, loved the quarterback,
loved the location, just didn't like the GM. And it's
very easy not to like Trent Bulky. The reason why
Jim Harbaugh left San Francisco despite guiding the team to
three straight NFC championship games. And it took a guy
who was the OC at Kentucky in twenty twenty three
to say, I appreciate you offering me the head coaching job,

(11:22):
but I'm gonna go ahead and go back to Tampa
and be the offensive coordinator because I just don't I
don't like that guy, that musclely guy with the giant
veins in his neck, that has got nine starters in
five years of drafting thirty eight players. I'm gonna go
ahead and take a pass on this opportunity. So oddly enough,
after they just extended him and said that they didn't
want to burn the whole thing down and send it

(11:43):
to hell, was the quote in Jacksonville by firing both
Balky and Peterson. They fired him yesterday in the hopes
they can get one of these candidates to take their
money and coach a hell of a quarterback in Lawrence.
No state income tax. Paradise in Jacksonville for an owner,
that is incredible, real paradise, beautiful town there. I mean
you look around and you're like, look at all these

(12:03):
trailer parks, open space.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Sacks of tires.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
If you're fire.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
So if you're the Raiders and you fired your guys
Tom Telesco and Antonio Pierce for Tom Brady to deliver
Ben Johnson, I should have probably tuned in to one
of the two segments with any Bong to see what
he had to say. Oh, you're hiring GM is the
former number two in Tampa who's left for the Raiders.
We talked about it yesterday, Pete Carroll or two days ago.

(12:30):
But now they're saying maybe Brian Flores, the guy that
tried to sabotage TUA in Miami. Maybe Joe Brady celebrated
at LSU for orchestrating one of the most explosive offenses
in college football history and has now done the same
sort of deal in Buffalo with Josh Allen coaching all
those interceptions out of him and getting James Cooked to

(12:51):
come along for a two headed attack. Or Pete Carroll
pat cal or maybe it's a seventy four year old
oldest coaching the history the NFL, Pete care.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
The DC for the forty nine ers.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
That'd be kind of cool. But I mean, Brandon Staley's
a candidate up there.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
I love him.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (13:10):
Finally, Pee I think this is kind of cool. I
just noticed this today. I'm sure you've known about it
for a little while. There are three, and we know
the third in the pecking order. Of these three all
star games that show up prior to the Super Bowl
in the off week of the college football slash NFL

(13:32):
draft process. There is the Senior Bowl, which is the
marquee event down in Mobile. Then there is the East
West Shrine Game that used to be in Tampa but
has since moved to the Jerry Dome in Dallas. And
of course, right here in our own backyard, the NFLPA Game.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
The Blue Grays canceled least have four now down to three.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
UH.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
I am not aware of what is happening with the
NFL PA Bowl now am I completely aware of the
Senior Bowl. I do know Dylan Gabriel has accepted an
invite to head down there as they are now including
juniors by the way, in the Senior Bowl to stay
more competitive. I believe Jalen Milro going to a quarterback the.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
UH Senior Bowl as well.

Speaker 5 (14:16):
But acknowledge and a tip of the cap pee to
someone who's expected to be drafted in the top five selections,
maybe by the Titans at one, maybe by the Giants
at three, the Browns at two. Shadoor Sanders accepted his
invite to the Shrine Game, and he's going to quarterback

(14:37):
the West teams down in Dallas.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Can't wait to see some of the most fezzes, little cars,
the Chaduur riding around doing their thing.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
Shudur building on what has been described as a guy
who's beloved by his teammates, has got three of his
wide receivers invited to the Shrine Game as well. So
gonna head down there out right, Matt, I have got
pretty cool bad news for you.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
What the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl was dissolved at twenty twenty three.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
No, well, it's wildly unfortunate.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Just now it's just down to two down to Shrine.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
I mean, I'm sure you had a similar experience when
I called the NFLPA Bowl and the Coliseum. There had
to be at least forty spectators there.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
I did three at the Rose Bowl.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
How many people on the sideline in the stands. Maybe
it doesn't. I been pretty good turnout. See him pull
the plug on that.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
The good thing is a Rose Bowl, you know?

Speaker 5 (15:33):
Yes, oh yeah, I did it at the Rose Bowl too,
plenty of row. That's right, was it the Rose Bowl?
You know you're so high up you kind of forget
where you are as you're looking down at all seats.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
We'll be back with more great sports.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
How are you gonna shoot this? Very tight?

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Matt speaking of championship football, Ohio and Tanner Scott could
be pretty geeked up. That true, or maybe not about
the buck up. He could be a Bobcats guy. Very
few people like the Bearcats. Kent State a baby, I mean,
he grew up a Akron adjacent oh Sis. But I'm
pretty sure he likes the buck eyes. And he's got

(16:51):
a dark beard like Ryan Day, except Tanner Scott's look uncolored,
look real a man introduced today at the Stadium. Left
hander All Star season with the Marlins. Last year, finished

down the stretch deep into the playoffs, struck out out
Tani four times in the NLDS. He's now headed to

introduced as a Dodger today. What a day. It's great
to have Tanner Scott on the Southern California Toyota Dealer

to the show. Welcome to LA. How are you.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
I'm good? Thank you for having me. And yeah, thank you,
thank you for complimenting my beard that has no color.
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
No, it's beautiful.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
It's the only hair on my head.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah, but you see, well you know, I mean, you
got those lashes, but but.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
Yeah, but I got no hair. I got an I'm
both fair.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Uh you got to be Are you excited about the
buck Eyes or was it all all baseball trying to
get this deal done and get your beard out there.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
Definitely, I definitely did catch some of the game. I
am an Ohio State fan. I grew up an Ohio
State fan. My brother went to Northwestern and played football,
So it was kind of torn at hearts for a
little bit. But no, definitely a Buckeye fan.

Speaker 5 (18:12):
So let's get to today Tanner and and the Dodgers,
and obviously you're signing is people weren't already kind of
triggered a little bit, uh, fans of other teams. This
seemed to be kind of the the one that really
got them. One of the best relievers in baseball decides
to to come to the Dodgers. Why and and what
was it that they presented you, because I'm assuming there
were a lot of other offers as well that that
made you want to end up here.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
I mean, I mean just just everything it was, it
was it seemed like just a total package and it
fell right for me and my wife and my son,
and uh we were happy to uh to talk to
him throughout the offseason, and then it just picked up
and we felt right at home, and uh, we're ready
to be in l A. And I'm glad to be
a part of this team.

Speaker 5 (18:54):
Give us an idea of because it was incredibly entertaining.
We talked about it while everyone was freaking out in
LA that maybe they'd fall to the Padres for the
second time in three years. The way it ended up
really kind of helped make the postseason overcoming that adversity.
What was it like to be in the middle of
what seemed like an incredibly competitive series between you know,
two teams that are just a couple hours apart on

(19:16):
a freeway.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah, I mean that series was just phenomenal. I mean,
fans from both sides were great, and I mean every game,
every game felt like it was it was Game seven
of the World Series, but obviously it wasn't on our end.
And and I'm happy to join join the team that
won the World Series. And it's gonna it's gonna be
a really exciting year.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
You've been you know, you know, if you fight songs
in your time. Now, you've been on a few teams
going on almost a decade in the big leagues. What's
it like joining a new team. What's it like joining
a new pitching staff? Is it awkward? Is it something
you're good at? Do you buy like a book for
everybody or give everybody like a newsletter that describes.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
You' I'm not. I'm not a book club guy, so no,
but no, I know I know Evan Phillips who I mean.
I was in his wedding, so we're close. So it's
going to be nice to have someone that I know.
And then it's that's that I feel like you just
just take it and run with it, and you create
the little family inside of a big family. And I'm

(20:19):
really looking forward to it.

Speaker 5 (20:21):
What we said it on the end, And there's a
reason why I think every Dodger fan they may not
know every reliever's name, but they certainly know yours because
of what you did against Shohey Otani just kind of
walk us through those at bats. Is it just another
guy standing in the batter's box? Or when you have,
you know, someone that's a unanimous MVP, that level of player,

(20:42):
does it change the way you approach the bat at all?

Speaker 4 (20:46):
I don't. I don't change how I approach that bad
but I mean, you definitely know who's in the box
and what he can do, I mean he can he
can beat out, beat out anything, and then he can
obviously hurt you with the long ball. And he's not
a fun guy to say, and I'm glad to be
on his team, but no, every bat with him was
was was was fun. I mean fun, but like I always,

(21:08):
I always hope to win that a bat, and uh,
it was. It's just you take it. You take it
in the moment and you just go pitch to pitch
and hopefully I'm on the winning end of it. And
I guess that's how that's how it worked out for me.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
Are you Are you worried that Otani is going to
give you a real mean mug when you see him
one of those young Japanese guys after you have one
of the younger guys.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
I hope not.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
I hope not, but but you I would imagine he's
probably I mean, he's not going to buy you a
Porsche like you did Joe Kelly, but probably it's going
to be a very nice reunion. Tanner Scott joining us
newest Dodger reliever, introduced today at the stadium. A veteran
left hander and a guy that knows his stuff. How

(21:55):
much have you talked to those guys about how do
you fit in?

Speaker 4 (22:00):
I just I mean, I hope hopefully they just welcome
you with open arms and everything just falls into place
after that. I haven't even thought about it that much.
It's it's been a surreal day and it's been exciting
and be awesome.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
Does is there a certain spot you like to pitch? So,
you know, it's been interesting with this Dodger bullpen because
it's been you know, very sort of a next not
next guy up, but just Blake trying to will pitch
the ninth, Evan Phillips will pitch the nine, the Bruce
Dark Grattarol will pitch the ninth. That's kind of been
that way and your you know time in the in
the majors, it doesn't seem much. There's a lot of
teams that do that.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
I mean, it's it's whatever Doc wants. I mean, I'm
I'm always ready. I'm always ready when the phone rings,
and I'm a I'm a big caffeine guy. So I
have my caffeine and me and I'm ready to go.
I just want the phone to ring. And the biggest
thing is I just want to win. I want I
want to win. I want to go to the World Series.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
It's a coffee right, yeah, figure out epadrin from the
seven eleven cash cash register.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Some guys do the caffeine lipper, you know, the lipper
of the straight coffee grounds.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
I mean, no, no, it's it's a gatorade. Came out
with fast Twitch and that's uh. That stuff is electric.
It's like two hundred There.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
We go with the phone rang past Twitch, the phone range.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
He popped the top on that.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
And the first time I drank it, I thought it
was normal, normal gatorade, and I looked down. I'm like,
why am I so jittery?

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Thanks me?

Speaker 4 (23:26):
No, I'm like, oh, this is fast Twitch. It has
two hundred milligrams of caffeine and yo, you feel it.

Speaker 2 (23:32):

way into our radio station refrigerator pretty soon.

Speaker 3 (23:38):

Speaker 3 (24:16):
It was around twenty twenty five where Tim Kate's got
the nickname rocket Ass Kates. He only lived five more years,
but they were the most productive five years in the
history of mankind.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
That is the truth.

energy drink from Gatorade developed with two hundred milligrams of
caffeine to help athletes focus their mind empower their body

Speaker 3 (25:23):
You know that's interesting. Tim Kates wanted me to ask, uh,

I thought that caffeine stuff at the end was a
real life saver. Matt, you really threw a He really
threw an in or two out on the interview there
with that. But Kates wanted me to ask, you took
off in Miami. What clicked? What elevated your stuff out

(25:45):
of the bullpen? And I think he answered that question, yes,
Fast to Catorade, Fast Gatorade. Why am I so jittery?

the Padres. Now I'm in the playoff. Oh my god,
I'm a Dodger. Ah.

Speaker 5 (26:05):
What has led to all the movement on your cutter?
It's my jittery hand and when I let it go,
it's the release.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
It's a modern day Rookie of the Year. He didn't
have to fall and break his arm. All he had
to do was drink the wrong gatorade. Ben Johnson was right,

(27:44):
head in the Baldi. William Stevenson thought you would really
like this guy. Canadian News Canada wasn't always a place
for weenis.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
It's Canadian News your car show you bozer.

Speaker 5 (28:03):
Hey, this seems like the folks that way up north
can kick some ass, you know up there.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
He used to be able to. Sir William Stevenson one
hundred and twenty eight years old today was a Canadian soldier,
fighter pilot, master spy and the real life inspiration for
James Bond. Yes, Ian Fleming, wrote Ian Fleming, the writer

(28:30):
of James Bond for the Lapers. James Bond is a
highly romanticized version of a true spy. The real thing
is William Stevenson is that right, Yeah, a Canadian spy
name Intrepid Okay. Born in Manitoba to an Icelandic mother
and a Scottish dad. They could not raise him. They sucked.

(28:54):
They flipped him to an Icelandic family in Manitoba and
changed his name to Stevenson. During World War One, he
worked his way a securitist route to the Royal Flying Corps,
flying Yes, Matt the sopwith camel biplane hell of a,
scoring twelve victories to become a flying ace, shot down

(29:15):
by a German ase not the red baron behind enemy lines,
became a pow, spent a few months and got a
military cross. On all that, he went back to Canada,
inspired by a can opener that he used to eat
at the camp, and tried to open a hardware store,
which failed, so he moved back to England.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Hey, this canopers in my life a he was.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
More sophisticated than that, you'll find. He moved back to England,
got rich, married a tobacco air's daughter and made endless
contacts and because of that the spy tech stuff starting.
He was close with Churchill and he started working for
Winston Churchill, warning him about the rise of the third

(30:01):
Rite in Germany and Hitler. Churchill sent him to the
US for a couple reasons, but it was really to
establish today's six. And what he ended up doing was
establishing six and then also establishing the modern day CIA.
It was called BSc, the British Securities Coordination back then.

(30:23):
And he became close to FDR and communicated secretly between
Churchill and FDR, and that was really kind of what
started that whole thing. And also his big thing was
to turn the American sentiment toward World War Two and
wanting to get involved, and he was able to do
that too. They say that he's the guy, and yes,

(30:45):
this is Moonraker. He affected wartime developments throughout the world
and set up Camp X, a training school for paramilitary
activity in Whitby, Ontario, the first ever in North America.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Matt the I'm more open space up there.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yeah, shoot stuff, I don't know. He used the weather
machine all that stuff. The Fort Knox Raid and Goldfinger
was inspired by an uncarried out plan to steal three
billion dollars in gold reserves from a Vichy French colony.
Martinique pro Vicci was Nazis in France. The Quiet Canadian.

(31:28):
They called him basically created Mi six, very cool and
the CIA, and credited in getting America involved in World
War two. Died in ninety two at ninety two. In
eighty nine in his chosen retirement home of Bermuda.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Oh, I thought you were going to say, Boca. How
you like my shorts? A Bermuda shorts? Beautiful?

Speaker 3 (31:52):
The American excuse me, well, North American Canadian superspy William Stevenson.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Uh, you're a live guy.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
They used to be tough up there, man.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
I think many still are happy. Eighty second, I don't
see it to Gary Burton.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
Check out the Tiny Desk video on YouTube with Gary Burton.
I managed to consume all eighteen minutes of it.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
I was so taken by the sweet sounds of Gary Burton.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
It's no Wu tang tiny guest, but I'll take it.

Speaker 5 (32:24):
It's just Burton, So I'll just say it so you
can visualize it. He's the guy that figured out, when
you're playing the vibraphone that I'm not gonna hold two mallets.
I'm gonna hold four, and i'm gonna double that, and
I'm gonna be able to.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
You better double that and double that again.

Speaker 5 (32:41):
That's what you're listening to. And he's got this very
young guitarist. Do you hear chime in? I love Ilian Lager.
I love a vibraphone, beautiful. Born in Anderson, Indiana, at
six he taught himself to play both the vibraphone and
the marimba, again studying piano. At age sixteen, went to
Berkeley College of Music in Boston. Nashville saxophonist Boots Randolph

(33:05):
convinced him to move to Nashville, and there he became
quite popular, recording with stalwarts like guitarist Hank Garland, pianist
Floyd Kramer, and guitarist Chat Atkins toward the US in
Japan with incredibly popular pianist George Shearing.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
I know about Chat and Shearing.

Speaker 5 (33:21):
Shearing in nineteen sixty three asked his twenty year old
vibraphone player to write an album of contrapuntal classical music
and record with a woodwind quintet atop a jazz rhythm section.
That was the task presented to Burton. Out of the
Woods was the result, and it remains an early highlight

(33:46):
of jazz rock fusion, before there was such thing as
jazz rock fusion sound. He would go on to play
with Saxophonistan Getz from sixty four to sixty six. Appeared
with the band in the movie Get Yourself a College Girl. Yes,
our band Gary Burton is playing the vibraphone when girl
from Ipanema Oh Come On is performed. In nineteen sixty

(34:08):
seventy four, the Gary Burton Quartet pre dating again the
jazz rock fusion craze of the nineteen seventies With his
first album, Duster Jazz Country Rock Fusion. He was named
Downbeat Magazine's Jazz Man of the Year in nineteen sixty eight,
the youngest to ever received that award. An Accolade one

(34:29):
his first Grammy in seventy two. Following year, he began
a forty year collaboration with pianist Chick Corea Ah I
Love Chick, recognized for popularizing the format of jazz duet performance.
The pair would win Grammy Awards in seventy nine, eighty one,
ninety seven, ninety nine, two thousand nine, and twenty thirteen

(34:50):
over their eight albums, and after establishing his career, wanted
to get back. He joined the staff at Berkeley from
seventy one to two thousand and four, first as a professor,
then dean, then the executive vice president of the college,
and again two mallets per hand. The four mallet grip
is known as the Burton grip and pretty much the
standard now with jazz.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Yeah. Yeah, this guy's only got two little mallets.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
He's a bit what is what's he doing? Send him
back to Canada.

Speaker 5 (35:17):
His autobiography, Learning to Listen, was published by Berkeley Press
in twenty thirteen, voted the jazz book of the Year.
He retired from performing in May twenty seventeen, following a
farewell tour with pianist a longtime collaborator, Makoto Ozone. He's
into dudes and has a partner named Dustin. Oh Duster,
Happy eighty second, Gary Burton, Duster, dust him and.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
We'll be right back with your twenty five minutes staiting meat.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Oh, get him, get him, Ronnie.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
Enjoy it. We're gonna bleed him dry.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Twenty five minutes. I know exactly how to fill that void.
