So another hour twenty minutes or so.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And a big thank you to Mike Perreira, who was
great on the show talking about the officials. I'm a
football analyst, so I wrote a football Story'll do it
for a little while and then we'll get to the
NFL with the top story of the day in the
next segment. But we'll call this the FlipTop story of
the day. I'll clip you out, I will put you out,
tell you this is the flip top story of the day. Well, Matt,
(02:12):
there was a little confusion the other day when we
talked about Brady Smigel or I brought up Brady Smigel,
and you asked me if he was related to Robert
Smigel from the ambiguously gay Duo and Triumph, the insult
comic Dog the Honey Meat. Yeah, no, not that I
know of. Brady Smigel is related to, as I said,
(02:33):
the head coach, Coach Smigel. Also, Joe Brady Smigel, the
great Newberry Park quarterback, is a twenty twenty six quarterback recruit.
He is a five star Matt CIF champion. His dad
Joe is the coach. Uh, not the guys from the
(02:57):
Banana Splits. That's a Croft Marty Croft sit in Marty
and not Smigel from it Triumph the insult comic dog.
But Brady is a big star quarterback Matt, and He's
gonna make a lot of money in college in this environment,
which is why I sent Tim Kates the Ted Dibiasse
(03:19):
theme song to play at some point, because everybody's got
a price. Now, Matt Brady Smigel is playing in a
different environment from previously mentioned and celebrated Newbury Park quarterbacks
on this show. And I know you know them, Flying
(03:41):
Keith Smith who won a CIF title with a ninety
nine yard touchdown run against the venerable Hawthorne Cougars and
the late Tavita Mawala in nineteen ninety three to win
the CIF, and of course cam Rising Utah Star and
Van Wilder of the modern era of college football a
(04:02):
poster boy for staying in school forever. And of course,
our UCLA broadcast hero Wayne Cook, dear friend of the show,
beloved by all, not to mention indie rock star Matt
Ward from She and Him also Newbury Park High.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Who knew that? I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Brady Smigel. Matt the reason this is a big deal.
Brady Smigel decommitted from Florida State over the weekend, and
the money train, just like that great movie with Woody.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And Wesley, wildly underrated.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
He's on the track. J Lo's in it. Chip Kelly
was at the smigelhouse yesterday. Oh wow, he dumped Florida State,
much to our friend Danny Canel's chagrin because they had
a terrible year. Maybe, but most importantly, he's gonna make
(05:00):
big tash long paper and everybody's got a price. He's
gonna get in his bag. He might even be able
to get his mom her dream bag. I don't know
how much the head coach of a thousand Oaks gets.
I mean, uh, Barry Park, it's bad. It's a real,
real clam bake, and I think it's gonna come from
(05:21):
one of our local schools. Matt usc or UCLA. Tim
Kates tipped me off that UCLA just offered his best receiver,
guy whose last name is Rosenthal, and he had no
other offers in big FBS schools. Only Princeton had offered him.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I guess they're not Power fives anyway, right, power fours.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
It's FBS fcs and yeah, power four, but the Ivy
League is neither. That was his only offer, Rosenthal, and
UCLA offered him. Why they're paving the way and gold
Newbury Park Panthers, black and yellow. Most famous graduate actually
(06:08):
Heather Locklear. Ah, come on, looks like he's gonna get paid,
and his whole being spells big time college quarterback. Some
don't think he's as athletic as he should be. Ball
flies out of the arm. I mean the ball really flies.
(06:28):
Maybe Ohio State gets him, remember Brady Smigel, Matt So
we don't think UCLA has a shot. UCLA is going
to come and offer him a bunch of money. He
might want to stay in town. US. He is probably
going to offer him a bunch of money. He might
want to stay in town. I can't remember a hotter
(06:50):
local quarterback like from up north kind of you know,
alamany Maybe with Miller Mossu, but he got swallowed up
at sc in the transfer world. If this guy came
to USC, uh, it'd be hard to bench him. It
was just anybody in Oaks or just off the deal
(07:10):
they'd make. Uh, this is the biggest star quarterback in
the area right now. Yeah, Pallas Perty'shi's got a guy.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
But he was just thinking in the past, did we
get like a huge five star Jimmy class Clawson there
you go.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, Jimmy Clawson from Oaks and that was a long
time ago. And Mark Tyler, the running back Barkley from
modern day. But I don't know Kate's I mean, help
me out here. Anybody from the north.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Right, Malachi was a five star, wouldn't he, even though
it didn't pan out.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Oh yeah, but he's from Lower South. Yeah, he had
a ton of qbs from Heart back in the nineties
and early yeah, back in the day.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, I mean that's the Santa Clarita Valley, but the
Canajoe Valley out there.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
It's Nate Longshore from Canyon Country and his brother. Anyway,
remember Brady Smigel puy No, he played cal remember, Yeah,
I know, is it cow? Is that Maynard didn't Maynard
have colored hair for a while? Was that the other
quarterback there? One of them make crazy hair, crazy haired
(08:09):
quarterbacks for five hundreds right from from the Canejo Valley. Uh.
I do think this guy's gonna be a big star, beautiful,
even more than pillow fart Miller.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Most where's the pillow fart going? Again?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Where is the pillow fart? That's right? Maybe we can
get this guy on like mellow Ball Smigel. The connection
between the Smigels and the great Keith Smith, who's a
listener and one of the great people of all time,
is that Joe Smigel was an o lineman at Arizona
(08:42):
when Keith Smith was a star.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Ah, it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, Keith Smith's the best. Maybe we become like a
pipeline to the Smiggles like we did for dj U Galle. Yeah,
it didn't work out, but at the time, Matt it
really did deal. And he's still a great young man.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
He can still chase that baseball dream.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
The big news is Brady Smigel decommitted in both the
local schools have a bit of a priapism.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Well that's why I had to put it.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yes it is.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
We'll be right back, Matt talk football of the professional variety.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Let's go send it in a big chair back in
burn Bank. Is Matt money Smith, the voice of the Bolt.
So we're gonna talk some football. Damn right we are. Yeah,
let's get che Chiefs. Yes, you're home of super Bowl
(09:47):
fifty nine. It's not enough. Let's go Chiefs. Too many
Eagles say, hey, oh gee, make sure you yes Birds.
Let's go Birds. Get it up on the Bird Podcast,
the show on the iHeartRadio app. Make sure you hit
the follow button onto the app so you can get
(10:07):
the latest notifications on the Petro Somebody show and stream
us live or listen to the show later. We sure
appreciate all you listeners. We were on an hour early
because of Clipper's Sons. U C. L A S C
is over on AM eleven fifty. Let's go Chiefs. Whoa
All of that stuff is going on, But right now
it is time for the top story of the day,
(10:28):
top story of it.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Well, there was the super Bowl that we wanted and
then the super Bowl that we got.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We don't even get half the super Bowl we.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Want, couldn't even get half. Let's go gee E G
A E.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
S L egglas Hey, Oh gee, shall we get the
magic hat? We get ed Bagley Junior, and we get
gunfire in the sky and dystopian Philadelphia scenes.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
We get dumpster pools, uh pools that are makeshift dumpy.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
This time of year. Idiot, I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
The big deal is. If the people want to swim
in the trash, let him swim in the trash.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I got another ticket.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
And then I was on the bus to go get
my car out of impound. Mayor our old friend Tony
Bruno from Philadelphia the best. After a four and zero
divisional round record, I won zero and two in the
conference championship round, mostly because none of us want this
super Bowl. Super Bowl licks fifty nine l ix and
(11:43):
you know what super Bowl licks? Licks Dix? Oh what
it licks? Kansas City fans.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I wish I wasn't Dixie.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Kansas City Chiefs fans, swifties. That's it. Who wants to
see the Chiefs in the Super Bowl for the third
straight season and for the fifth time in six years.
It's inevitable. It gets old. We've lived through dynasties before.
I was a season ticket holder when the Lakers dynasty
was around with Kobe and Shack, But it never felt
(12:18):
like that got to the tipping point where people hated
that team. Maybe had they stayed together and won a
couple more, it could have happened. Could have been. Kaushak
was so likable, you know, the big, lovable, kind of
goofy guy. It happened with the Patriots, that's for sure.
It seemed I think, if I remember right, it felt
like it. It didn't get stuck to the bulls, and
(12:38):
Michael Jordan felt like he was such a superstar and
appreciated as the greatest player that ever played basketball that
people are alright seeing him. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
P six Finals. In some places people were livid, But
I think yeah, nationally.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, I mean just like the national fans.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, nationally, people are over it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
It's weird and kind of it's very It's not the
same as the conversation we had about Lebron a couple
I don't know, maybe a month ago.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
People are over him for different reasons.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
It's different. Like Patrick Mahomes I think should be in
that Michael Jordan category. Oh sure, you know, he is
as likable as superstar as there is an assassin that
raises the level of his game when the game demands it.
He does incredible things when the odds are against him
and very He is the closest thing that we have
seen to Michael Jordan in any sport that when his
(13:27):
team is down, you just know he's gonna win. Like
and that's what was so incredible about Jordan. It's, oh yeah,
they're they're down two and there's eight seconds up, doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
He'll make the show you expected. And that was the
way it was with Tom Brady and those teams. You know,
you come to expect his ability to come back. I
mean the odds that they came back in that Super
Bowl against Atlanta Atlanta, Yeah, that was crazy. I mean,
it's it's Taylor Swift, it's the referees, it's the Hallmark
Channel movie.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, that's it. That's That's the thing about Mahomes is
how how good he is.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
It's his brother.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
He is a victim of his surroundings, the entourage, the
supporting cast that's not nearly as likable as he is.
You said it, his brother Jackson and his stupid TikTok page.
Not to mention the stories of his sense of entitlement
running around the city of Kansas City demanding tables, treating
people poorly, grabbing chicks and making out with them. It
(14:25):
reflects poorly unfortunately on Patrick, saying goes for the wife
that likes to run the Instagram pretty hard, decided to
show up in a Sports Illustrated swimsuit. Issue also been
at the center of some stories about how you interact
with others and what maybe they expect from people in public.
Again gets stuck to Patrick Mahomes, who has had absolutely
(14:47):
none of those accusations in his or thrown in his direction.
His father can't seem to lay off the sauce before
he gets behind the wheel. Also a bit of a negative,
but at least that's in a different state and not
nearly as in front of the camera as the other
two are, and it kind of sticks to him and
it makes him less of a likable superstar than he
(15:11):
should be now. The Chiefs obviously have given him a
hell of a supporting cast, but they've also saddled him
with I don't know, one of the worst guys ever
in Tyreek Hill beat the hell out of a pregnant
girlfriend when he was in college and was off just
about every single team's draft board, and well then got
into some more trouble while he was in Kansas City.
So there's that Kareem Hunt kicked that chick in the hallway,
(15:33):
Frank Clark. But that's not I'm my homes. That's the Chiefs.
Let's go Chiefs teeth. They have always and it has
been Andy Reid. He did it when he was in Philadelphia.
He carried it over to Kansas City. They draft questionable
character guys that slide because they're totally fine, taken on
the week to two weeks of negativity in the press
(15:55):
to get the talent. And it sticks to Patrick because
he wears the same uniform. But man, watching that game,
how he played throughout the course of the season, the
lack of protection he had from his tackles all year.
He got hit more this year than he has in
any other season of his career. He had his worst
statistical year touchdowns to interceptions, his lowest quarterback rating. Yet
(16:18):
the team still basically went sixteen and one fifteen and
two because they gave away the last game of the year.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
And I think some of that stuff is misleading, you know,
because Daniel Jeremiah explained it pretty well on the show.
He said they're a defensive team. So play calling changes.
Right when you're a defensive team, the risk taking changes.
I mean, he did get hit Morse. That's something you
can't you can't dispute. That's something that tells the tail.
(16:44):
But they are a more defensive football team, and ultimately
it's their defense that won the game. You know, the
defense is the one that kept stopping Buffalo, whether they should,
whether they had a first down or I looked at
the Hella looked like a first down to me. I mean,
I'm a short yardage guy, so I always like it
when you get the fre I thought they had the
first down on third down, for God's sake. But that's
(17:06):
a story I guess for later. Yeah, but I think
that they win with their defense, which is a little
different on how they used to be exactly. We saw
that with the Patriots. You know, the Patriots, their identity
would change as they you know, they keep going back
to super Bowls over the different years of the dynasty.
But the team they'd be relying on different things. Sometimes
slot receivers, sometimes a run game, sometimes a dominant defense.
(17:29):
It really kind of changes.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah, in this game, you know, the post game story
should have been all about Mahomes being mahomesy in and
using his legs despite not really using him for much
of the regular season. Yet here he is not not
only extending plays but running for first downs, eluding defenders,
lowering his shoulder, running into a safety at the three
(17:52):
yard line, and working his way all the way into
the end zone for a go ahead score. And you
know it's fun to watch. He's an incredible player. But
instead it's Travis Kelcey and his weird postgame press conference
and how cute he and Taylor Swift aren't they adorable?
And Caitlyn Clark's now in there, and Mama Kelsey says
Caitlyn Clark's a sweetheart, and now Taylor's celebrating with Mamma
(18:13):
Kelsey And where's Daddy Kelsey? And how about the pod?
Did Jason come out to support her? Did he stay
in Philadelphia for his team?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Kel divorced?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
And it's again not that the guy gives it damn.
I mean, he's worth a billion dollars, has a bunch
of commercials. But it's just it's kind of a bummer
that there's Paul to some degree cast over Mahomes because
he deserves nothing. But you know, really extreme praise.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Well, think of it like this, Matt. He's been carrying
around the drunk dad, the weird key faced girlfriend now wife,
and the weird brother his whole life.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
So there's no reason why we shouldn't believe anything. But
he's going to go down as the greatest player in
the history of the game. Supplanting Tom Brady, this run
that he's on right now is more impressive than any
stretch that he had in his career. Eight consecutive championship games,
the opportunity to win the first ever back to back
(19:08):
to back Super Bowls by a team, and basically since
he became a starter, they have never not been part
of the AFC Championship, winning five of the eight.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
And never since he took over. I mean, he's been
a spectacular flying around doing uncanny things. Where Brady, God
bless him, the greatest quarterback of all time for many
of us. Many of us think it's Joe Montana too,
but Brady, he was managing games when he first started,
and that.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Evolved and that, like you said, it's been all mahomes
since day one. In look a lot of this, you
alluded to it as the NFL's fault for an entity
that makes tens of billions of dollars every single year
to not deploy every single bit of technology available to
them to remove any questions of credibility surrounding the game
is just it's asinine and and look, you can we
(20:03):
can rehash whether or not the Bills would have won
had Josh Allen been awarded a first down that appeared
to clearly be a first down.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I don't know how they can't keep showing their ass
every time the Chiefs play. It's like they just get
their own way.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
You got one linesman sprinting from the far sideline from
the TV angle, so you get a really good look
at him and you're like, oh, yeah, he's well passed
the first down mark. And the next thing you know,
a couple of Chiefs getting his way and the other.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Prophecy. Yeah, it's like everybody expects the Reps to screw
and it happens every time.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Every time you have that play you mentioned it was
a bad spot on the third down in the first place,
and then on top of that, you've got a ball
that's intercepted, hits the ground, and yet somehow is called
a completion for the offense. It just it's it's it
doesn't make it.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Was that like a fifteen yard difference, that's a big.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Was a twenty five yard it would have been a
first down on the five yard penalty. Instead it's first
and goal from the three like it's And I'm not
saying they wouldn't have scored. I'm not saying the Chiefs
would have won. I just got done detailing. Yeah, Patrick
Mahomes would have figured out a way to win that
game because what he does. But again, how do you
not get out of your own way and then make
(21:16):
after the Houston game to share or to leak a
story that yeah, I think we're gonna make slides reviewable
moving forward, Like, don't even do that. Just wait until
the next year. And just in the list of things
that you've added to replay, have that be one of
the lines. To be reactionary instead of being proactive has
surrounded this Chiefs team. It's not fair to them, you know,
(21:39):
to be like, well, yeah, I guess we're winning all
these games because we're cheating. No, it's just like the refs,
for whatever reason, lose their freaking minds and replay loses
their mind when the Chiefs are in these games. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, they feel laminated. Yeah, on and off the field.
I mean, look at Andy Reid, his son and all that.
I mean, it's it's yeah, exactly. They feel like a laminade.
It's a pardon after damn, you're killing a little girl.
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Look, it would be all moot if you would just
do what every other sport does, and that's put a
chip in the ball and the laser line technology for
the first down like they have in soccer. I can't
afford it. No, you could do what the freaking college
football does and have a sky judge and just buzz
down when you're gonna overturn a player when you're looking
at a play, and not have to do the charade
(22:25):
of holding a Microsoft surface. You know, we're gonna give
you this twelve inch screen instead of the three hundred
inch monitor that we have in our command center because
it makes more sense for you on a field surrounded
by screening fans that could influence the call to look
at this little tablet instead of a person who gets
I don't know, seven thousand frames per second on seven
(22:48):
hundred times zoom. Because it makes more sense for you
to do it on the field on a freaking tablet.
It's just at some point yet you don't need to say,
you know, it's just going to the element of human
air that gives the game a little bit of character.
That doesn't It doesn't. It gives the game a guy exactly,
(23:08):
a black eye, a dark cloud, when instead we should
be talking about one of the absolute most likable players
in the last seven eight years in Saquon Barkley leaving
the complete disaster and mess of a front office and
ownership in the Giants to go to Philadelphia damn near
breaking and could have broke Eric Dickerson's record, instead sits
(23:30):
it out for the betterment of the team. They go
to the Super Bowl. He's incredible to watch. He's made
running backs relevant again. Versus Patrick Mahomes the magician the
Oh no, we're talking about there needs to be a
chip in the ball if we need to get a
sky judge. You can argue that Texans should have beat
the Chiefs because of those two bs roughing calls, and
(23:51):
it's so damn easy. And then I started thinking about it.
I'm like, hey, you thought they would have learned their
lesson after the Patriots went to eighth straight AFC Championship
games with the flight gate and the spygate and the
tuck rule, and like on the off sides, remember in
Kansas City the BS off sides call on Clark or Ford,
I can't remember who it was, And it's like, oh, yeah,
(24:13):
this is what happens when there's a dynasty. These things
creep up and these become the conversation because it sucks
that Josh Allen is as great at quarterback as he
is and he can't get over this hump. Lamar Jackson,
Lamar Jackson last year, Joe Burrow the year before. It's
the golden era of quarterbacking in the AFC. And again,
to make the analogy, Patrick Mahomes is like the Michael
(24:33):
Jordan Sorry, Chuck Barkley, Sorry, Patrick Ewing, Reggie Miller, Stockton Malone,
Sean Kemp just you're not You're great, but you're just
not great enough. And this guy's gonna stand in your
way and that sucks. And people probably want to see
somebody else win a championship, but this guy's just too
damn good.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Can't wait to hear Brady call it.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Oh Man, Yeah, it's gonna be awesome, good Chiefs. Let's
get on the field and call out a play that
everyone's confused by it, but.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Your old buddy Drew Trank will tweet it after the game.
Shout out to the Buffalo Bills. Heck of a battle.
The rest of y' all can take that ref talk
and kick rocks. Yeah kick. We stand on business. Go cheef.

you might have missed. We continue to point out that
the Dream Center continues to help the city of Los
Angeles as we have teamed up with them here at iHeartMedia.

the wildfires, and the Dream Center is there to help

Speaker 1 (27:35):
All right, Matt, You're dead guy. Birthday of the day.
This month we've talked about Moliere, the French Shakespeare. Today
we get more modern and maybe as significant as Moliere
and Shakespeare because of what he did. If we had
Russian news, we'd play it. We celebrate Anton Checkoff sixty
(27:59):
five years old to day, Russian playwright, author, short story writer,
Lunger terrible, a nineteenth century life man. Not pleasant that Lunger,
playwriting producer of record for Russia. But his stories and
(28:23):
what he did on the stage is kind of made
him one of the most seminal figures in modernist theater.
You know, he made it more more real up there
on stage. You know what I'm saying, Matt interacting how
people really interact as opposed to you know, walking into
a room facing the crowd and going to be or
(28:45):
not to be. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I
saw my brother in a chekhof play in West la
It was filled with Russians. I wonder why, I mean,
we're talking about some stonefaced.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Russians taking blockheads.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Be just some real look like Easter Island in there.
Born on the port of the See of A's off
on a street called Chekhov Street. Now the school he
attended is now called You're Right, Yes, check off School. Yeah.
He read widely and noticed hypocrisy everywhere, including in his
(29:21):
domineering father. He wrote to support his whole family that
went bankrupt, and he became a doctor by trade. Also,
and yes, as I mentioned earlier, he suffered from tuberculosis.
His four plays Matt, the Seagull, Uncle Vanya, the Three Sisters,
(29:43):
and the Cherry Orchard set the back drop or backbone
of acting to this day. And we are your Broadway
and off Broadway show of record. It's not even close,
it's not. I mean, how many times have we done
him remote for the Pasaden playoffs?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Matt once a week?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Right, And we're't down at the Allegion at least three
times a week at least Schubert. We hit the Schubert.
Come on Dorothy Chandler Music Center. Oh, Matt, I'll tell
you you get people in there. Next time. The Pirates
of Penzance is coming. That's what we get down. We
get down to the carpenter and long beast, that's what
(30:24):
we do. His short stories are also very popular. He
was the toast of Saint Petersburg in his lifetime, so
he was famous while he lived, he had some wild
long hemorrhaging in Moscow and was married about three years
before his death. When he died, he was second only
(30:46):
to Tolstoy in fame in Russia, who he outlived. Tolstoy
outlived him, yes, rast years, well longer. He died a
longer in nineteen oh three, after sucking back a whole
glass of Champagne on his deathbed. He was forty four,
(31:08):
and it was nineteen oh one.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Which of the place was your brother in?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
You know, Matt, I couldn't tell you. I wanted to
say uncle Vanya.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
But whatever, I was too busy. Russians, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I mean, you know, Matt, I went to a lot
of plays. I mean I do remember the Elephant Man distinctly.
That that was a hard one to forget. There was
one where he made out with a guy on stage
in West Hollywood, and my father was the center on
our football team. And my father was like Jesus or center,
a large black man from Dallas. Yeah, we'll get high
(31:44):
and go to the play. No big deal.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Look, well you're a live guy. That is the backdrop
fetal alcohol syndroum. Russians in the audience, notwithstanding.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
A lot of vodka. Matt, I mean a lot and
weird castle role things.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Oh happy a live guy birthdated Seth Justman.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
It's like the charge of the light Brigade over.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Seth gets a raw deal man. He wrote all the songs,
he produced, all the records, he sung back up. Nobody
knows who he is. Seth who the lead guitarist who
doesn't even sing. The band is named after him, The
Jay Giles Band. Oh, that's Seth Giles and the This
is Seth Justman, who is seventy four today. The Wikipedia
(32:31):
page for Jay Giles band has pictures of three guys,
obviously Peter Wolf, the lead singer, Jay Giles, and Magic Dick,
the harmonica player.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I mean that the hard player. Those but those but
his name is Magic Dick. Right, have those three things
explained themselves? Now you have to make a.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Case for set Seth is listed as not pictured yet.
He wrote this great hit from the mid seventies. I
must have got lost that a lot of people probably
don't realize is the Jay Giles Band. He was born
in the district. He grew up in Atlantic City, playing
keys around Boston. When he started following the Jay Guiles
Blues band is what they were called. Peter Wolf was
a freaking DJ on WBCN when they plucked them to
(33:13):
be their lead singer. BCN is like the Alt ninety
eight or the Klos of Boston. They were a blues
band playing covers around town. Originals were harmonica centric blues
tunes until Seth came along. He added the keys, gave
them pop rock sound, wrote a bunch of tunes that
we all remember today. They stuck around Boston at the
start of the seventies, made a name for themselves and
(33:35):
Magic Dick was considered the best heart player anywhere in
the country.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Well that's why, there you go, there you go. They
were a bailey band, better than Toots the month.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Apparently at that time, they said Magic Dick changed the
way harp players and rock bands were viewed. Okay, Allman
Brothers called them from an on state from on stage
at a show in Boston, the best band in town.
They got to deal with Atlantic Records.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I don't know why you guys are here seeing us.
We suck us Almons, you got us out to see
Jay Giles. They're the best band of toew.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Seth wrote this and it nearly kind of you know,
made him really big. Instead, it was more of a
regional hit, kind of just outside the top ten nationally,
but it landed them support slots with The Stones and
Frampton and Rod Stewart. Again, rock bands loved them and
did everything they could to get him to break through.
They were the quintessential party band, great in bars, great
live show, but no songs that people wanted to buy
(34:29):
or hear over and over again until well nineteen eighty
Love Stinks comes out. Seth also wrote that one, but
MTV didn't hit the airwaves for another year, so it
was the quick release following Love Stinks in nineteen eighty two,
after MTV had been on for a year that really
(34:49):
blew the Jay Giles band wide open. Listen to Seth's
Sweet Keys Dancing Here on Freeze Frame, the Big Paint Fight.
It's a big win on MTV. But our man, Seth Justman,
was the sole writer and producer of their biggest hit,
centerfold My Blood Runs Cold. My Marie has just been
(35:10):
sold number one for a month and a half, number
one on MTV, and it put the album this one
Freeze Frame at number one on the Billboard Hot One
hundred Centerfold was one of the biggest songs of the
year video one of the driving forces they say behind
the early success of MTV that it was the most
played video on MTV for about two months straight. They
(35:32):
went number one in Canada, top five in the rest
of the world. Platinum record This one Freeze Frame was
top five all over the world, selling out arenas how
About This. In nineteen eighty two, U two opened up
for the Jay Giles Band. They toured Europe with the Stones.
Peter Wolf got the big head, said he didn't like
the new direction of the band.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Oh I don't like your big head, Peter Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
He's like, I gotta like this pop rock and new
waves sound with all the keys. Man, I'm out. So
he left and now it fell apart. But the good
thing is when he left, Seth kind of got into
production and he produced Deborah Harry's second solo release in
nineteen eighty six, which included French Kissing in the USA
(36:13):
Oo Yeah Yeah, written by by the Way Chuck Lorie.
Jay Giles band got back together in ninety nine with
Peter Wolf. They did gigs all the way through twenty fifteen.
Their final tour, Seth was there from the start, wrote
those two big hits not pictured on the Wikipedia page.
Is what he gets for it?
Speaker 1 (36:33):
That's unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Yeah, Seth Justman seventy four.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
I don't know why you guys are listening to us.
You gotta listen to our competition on the ESPN station.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
The Jay Giles Band.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Those guys are the best.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
They are the Jay Giles Band of LA Sports Talk.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
You're lucky, Matt. You're lucky that I'm not there today
because i'd you'd have pulled your nub back for asking
me which check off play it was. I almost went
full Ronnie.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
It doesn't matter what play it was, that is relevant relevant.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
They don't remember.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
The don would to be exposed, but the ques I
would like to point out the question did get the
addition of your father and center.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Well, that was a different place to remember the name
of that play.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
The men out with a dude and didn't give him
the heads up?
Speaker 1 (37:19):
You know who was in the player that he made
out with a dude in? Uh, Danica mckeller, the.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Oh from My Wonder Years. Yeah, lovely Lake Winnie Cooper
now a big hallmarks. Did he get to make out
with her too?
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I think he did nice.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
See that's the deal man. You make out with the
guy and then you get to make out with Winnie Cooper.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Yeah, I don't know if that was I don't know
if that was a consolation for my father and our center.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Didn't you ever see like the interview with Tom Hanks
after he did Philadelphia, and he was like, I'm very
upset with myself. I'm I should have I should have
insisted that the kiss be on screen with Antonio Benderis.
It was terrible acting on my part.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
You know, I don't remember watching a lot of interviews
about that movie. The Plumber is.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
A big bummer. Your brother. What I'm pointing out is
your brother more true to the craft truly than Tom Hanks.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Come on, everybody knows that. And they go to the
same church down there. That's right, all right, We'll be
back with more great supports.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
To tell Tassa to bring that up next time they
break bread downstairs around Easter.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
I think Hanks left the contry dude, because he got
coast to coast because of Wilson and all that. Oh
those Yeah, he's one of those weird celebrity vampire drinker
lad people.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Well, who knows, maybe he comes back and a one off,
and Tosso can hold that over his head.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You know, I didn't have Tom Hanks in my Bengo card,
as they say on Twitter, all greased up at a
Diddy party, but apparently.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
You know, hey, you get the invite, you go and
bye gones. You know, hey, you do this, I do that.
Whatever we leave and nobody ever speaks of it.
Speaker 1 (38:47):

So another hour twenty minutes or so.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And a big thank you to Mike Perreira, who was
great on the show talking about the officials. I'm a
football analyst, so I wrote a football Story'll do it
for a little while and then we'll get to the
NFL with the top story of the day in the
next segment. But we'll call this the FlipTop story of
the day. I'll clip you out, I will put you out,
tell you this is the flip top story of the day. Well, Matt,
(02:12):
there was a little confusion the other day when we
talked about Brady Smigel or I brought up Brady Smigel,
and you asked me if he was related to Robert
Smigel from the ambiguously gay Duo and Triumph, the insult
comic Dog the Honey Meat. Yeah, no, not that I
know of. Brady Smigel is related to, as I said,
(02:33):
the head coach, Coach Smigel. Also, Joe Brady Smigel, the
great Newberry Park quarterback, is a twenty twenty six quarterback recruit.
He is a five star Matt CIF champion. His dad
Joe is the coach. Uh, not the guys from the
(02:57):
Banana Splits. That's a Croft Marty Croft sit in Marty
and not Smigel from it Triumph the insult comic dog.
But Brady is a big star quarterback Matt, and He's
gonna make a lot of money in college in this environment,
which is why I sent Tim Kates the Ted Dibiasse
(03:19):
theme song to play at some point, because everybody's got
a price. Now, Matt Brady Smigel is playing in a
different environment from previously mentioned and celebrated Newbury Park quarterbacks
on this show. And I know you know them, Flying
(03:41):
Keith Smith who won a CIF title with a ninety
nine yard touchdown run against the venerable Hawthorne Cougars and
the late Tavita Mawala in nineteen ninety three to win
the CIF, and of course cam Rising Utah Star and
Van Wilder of the modern era of college football a
(04:02):
poster boy for staying in school forever. And of course,
our UCLA broadcast hero Wayne Cook, dear friend of the show,
beloved by all, not to mention indie rock star Matt
Ward from She and Him also Newbury Park High.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Who knew that? I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Brady Smigel. Matt the reason this is a big deal.
Brady Smigel decommitted from Florida State over the weekend, and
the money train, just like that great movie with Woody.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And Wesley, wildly underrated.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
He's on the track. J Lo's in it. Chip Kelly
was at the smigelhouse yesterday. Oh wow, he dumped Florida State,
much to our friend Danny Canel's chagrin because they had
a terrible year. Maybe, but most importantly, he's gonna make
(05:00):
big tash long paper and everybody's got a price. He's
gonna get in his bag. He might even be able
to get his mom her dream bag. I don't know
how much the head coach of a thousand Oaks gets.
I mean, uh, Barry Park, it's bad. It's a real,
real clam bake, and I think it's gonna come from
(05:21):
one of our local schools. Matt usc or UCLA. Tim
Kates tipped me off that UCLA just offered his best receiver,
guy whose last name is Rosenthal, and he had no
other offers in big FBS schools. Only Princeton had offered him.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I guess they're not Power fives anyway, right, power fours.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
It's FBS fcs and yeah, power four, but the Ivy
League is neither. That was his only offer, Rosenthal, and
UCLA offered him. Why they're paving the way and gold
Newbury Park Panthers, black and yellow. Most famous graduate actually
(06:08):
Heather Locklear. Ah, come on, looks like he's gonna get paid,
and his whole being spells big time college quarterback. Some
don't think he's as athletic as he should be. Ball
flies out of the arm. I mean the ball really flies.
(06:28):
Maybe Ohio State gets him, remember Brady Smigel, Matt So
we don't think UCLA has a shot. UCLA is going
to come and offer him a bunch of money. He
might want to stay in town. US. He is probably
going to offer him a bunch of money. He might
want to stay in town. I can't remember a hotter
(06:50):
local quarterback like from up north kind of you know,
alamany Maybe with Miller Mossu, but he got swallowed up
at sc in the transfer world. If this guy came
to USC, uh, it'd be hard to bench him. It
was just anybody in Oaks or just off the deal
(07:10):
they'd make. Uh, this is the biggest star quarterback in
the area right now. Yeah, Pallas Perty'shi's got a guy.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
But he was just thinking in the past, did we
get like a huge five star Jimmy class Clawson there
you go.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, Jimmy Clawson from Oaks and that was a long
time ago. And Mark Tyler, the running back Barkley from
modern day. But I don't know Kate's I mean, help
me out here. Anybody from the north.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Right, Malachi was a five star, wouldn't he, even though
it didn't pan out.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Oh yeah, but he's from Lower South. Yeah, he had
a ton of qbs from Heart back in the nineties
and early yeah, back in the day.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, I mean that's the Santa Clarita Valley, but the
Canajoe Valley out there.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
It's Nate Longshore from Canyon Country and his brother. Anyway,
remember Brady Smigel puy No, he played cal remember, Yeah,
I know, is it cow? Is that Maynard didn't Maynard
have colored hair for a while? Was that the other
quarterback there? One of them make crazy hair, crazy haired
(08:09):
quarterbacks for five hundreds right from from the Canejo Valley. Uh.
I do think this guy's gonna be a big star, beautiful,
even more than pillow fart Miller.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Most where's the pillow fart going? Again?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Where is the pillow fart? That's right? Maybe we can
get this guy on like mellow Ball Smigel. The connection
between the Smigels and the great Keith Smith, who's a
listener and one of the great people of all time,
is that Joe Smigel was an o lineman at Arizona
(08:42):
when Keith Smith was a star.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Ah, it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, Keith Smith's the best. Maybe we become like a
pipeline to the Smiggles like we did for dj U Galle. Yeah,
it didn't work out, but at the time, Matt it
really did deal. And he's still a great young man.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
He can still chase that baseball dream.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
The big news is Brady Smigel decommitted in both the
local schools have a bit of a priapism.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Well that's why I had to put it.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yes it is.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
We'll be right back, Matt talk football of the professional variety.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Let's go send it in a big chair back in
burn Bank. Is Matt money Smith, the voice of the Bolt.
So we're gonna talk some football. Damn right we are. Yeah,
let's get che Chiefs. Yes, you're home of super Bowl
(09:47):
fifty nine. It's not enough. Let's go Chiefs. Too many
Eagles say, hey, oh gee, make sure you yes Birds.
Let's go Birds. Get it up on the Bird Podcast,
the show on the iHeartRadio app. Make sure you hit
the follow button onto the app so you can get
(10:07):
the latest notifications on the Petro Somebody show and stream
us live or listen to the show later. We sure
appreciate all you listeners. We were on an hour early
because of Clipper's Sons. U C. L A S C
is over on AM eleven fifty. Let's go Chiefs. Whoa
All of that stuff is going on, But right now
it is time for the top story of the day,
(10:28):
top story of it.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Well, there was the super Bowl that we wanted and
then the super Bowl that we got.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We don't even get half the super Bowl we.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Want, couldn't even get half. Let's go gee E G
A E.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
S L egglas Hey, Oh gee, shall we get the
magic hat? We get ed Bagley Junior, and we get
gunfire in the sky and dystopian Philadelphia scenes.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
We get dumpster pools, uh pools that are makeshift dumpy.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
This time of year. Idiot, I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
The big deal is. If the people want to swim
in the trash, let him swim in the trash.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I got another ticket.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
And then I was on the bus to go get
my car out of impound. Mayor our old friend Tony
Bruno from Philadelphia the best. After a four and zero
divisional round record, I won zero and two in the
conference championship round, mostly because none of us want this
super Bowl. Super Bowl licks fifty nine l ix and
(11:43):
you know what super Bowl licks? Licks Dix? Oh what
it licks? Kansas City fans.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I wish I wasn't Dixie.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Kansas City Chiefs fans, swifties. That's it. Who wants to
see the Chiefs in the Super Bowl for the third
straight season and for the fifth time in six years.
It's inevitable. It gets old. We've lived through dynasties before.
I was a season ticket holder when the Lakers dynasty
was around with Kobe and Shack, But it never felt
(12:18):
like that got to the tipping point where people hated
that team. Maybe had they stayed together and won a
couple more, it could have happened. Could have been. Kaushak
was so likable, you know, the big, lovable, kind of
goofy guy. It happened with the Patriots, that's for sure.
It seemed I think, if I remember right, it felt
like it. It didn't get stuck to the bulls, and
(12:38):
Michael Jordan felt like he was such a superstar and
appreciated as the greatest player that ever played basketball that
people are alright seeing him. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
P six Finals. In some places people were livid, But
I think yeah, nationally.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, I mean just like the national fans.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, nationally, people are over it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
It's weird and kind of it's very It's not the
same as the conversation we had about Lebron a couple
I don't know, maybe a month ago.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
People are over him for different reasons.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
It's different. Like Patrick Mahomes I think should be in
that Michael Jordan category. Oh sure, you know, he is
as likable as superstar as there is an assassin that
raises the level of his game when the game demands it.
He does incredible things when the odds are against him
and very He is the closest thing that we have
seen to Michael Jordan in any sport that when his
(13:27):
team is down, you just know he's gonna win. Like
and that's what was so incredible about Jordan. It's, oh yeah,
they're they're down two and there's eight seconds up, doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
He'll make the show you expected. And that was the
way it was with Tom Brady and those teams. You know,
you come to expect his ability to come back. I
mean the odds that they came back in that Super
Bowl against Atlanta Atlanta, Yeah, that was crazy. I mean,
it's it's Taylor Swift, it's the referees, it's the Hallmark
Channel movie.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, that's it. That's That's the thing about Mahomes is
how how good he is.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
It's his brother.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
He is a victim of his surroundings, the entourage, the
supporting cast that's not nearly as likable as he is.
You said it, his brother Jackson and his stupid TikTok page.
Not to mention the stories of his sense of entitlement
running around the city of Kansas City demanding tables, treating
people poorly, grabbing chicks and making out with them. It
(14:25):
reflects poorly unfortunately on Patrick, saying goes for the wife
that likes to run the Instagram pretty hard, decided to
show up in a Sports Illustrated swimsuit. Issue also been
at the center of some stories about how you interact
with others and what maybe they expect from people in public.
Again gets stuck to Patrick Mahomes, who has had absolutely
(14:47):
none of those accusations in his or thrown in his direction.
His father can't seem to lay off the sauce before
he gets behind the wheel. Also a bit of a negative,
but at least that's in a different state and not
nearly as in front of the camera as the other
two are, and it kind of sticks to him and
it makes him less of a likable superstar than he
(15:11):
should be now. The Chiefs obviously have given him a
hell of a supporting cast, but they've also saddled him
with I don't know, one of the worst guys ever
in Tyreek Hill beat the hell out of a pregnant
girlfriend when he was in college and was off just
about every single team's draft board, and well then got
into some more trouble while he was in Kansas City.
So there's that Kareem Hunt kicked that chick in the hallway,
(15:33):
Frank Clark. But that's not I'm my homes. That's the Chiefs.
Let's go Chiefs teeth. They have always and it has
been Andy Reid. He did it when he was in Philadelphia.
He carried it over to Kansas City. They draft questionable
character guys that slide because they're totally fine, taken on
the week to two weeks of negativity in the press
(15:55):
to get the talent. And it sticks to Patrick because
he wears the same uniform. But man, watching that game,
how he played throughout the course of the season, the
lack of protection he had from his tackles all year.
He got hit more this year than he has in
any other season of his career. He had his worst
statistical year touchdowns to interceptions, his lowest quarterback rating. Yet
(16:18):
the team still basically went sixteen and one fifteen and
two because they gave away the last game of the year.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
And I think some of that stuff is misleading, you know,
because Daniel Jeremiah explained it pretty well on the show.
He said they're a defensive team. So play calling changes.
Right when you're a defensive team, the risk taking changes.
I mean, he did get hit Morse. That's something you
can't you can't dispute. That's something that tells the tail.
(16:44):
But they are a more defensive football team, and ultimately
it's their defense that won the game. You know, the
defense is the one that kept stopping Buffalo, whether they should,
whether they had a first down or I looked at
the Hella looked like a first down to me. I mean,
I'm a short yardage guy, so I always like it
when you get the fre I thought they had the
first down on third down, for God's sake. But that's
(17:06):
a story I guess for later. Yeah, but I think
that they win with their defense, which is a little
different on how they used to be exactly. We saw
that with the Patriots. You know, the Patriots, their identity
would change as they you know, they keep going back
to super Bowls over the different years of the dynasty.
But the team they'd be relying on different things. Sometimes
slot receivers, sometimes a run game, sometimes a dominant defense.
(17:29):
It really kind of changes.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah, in this game, you know, the post game story
should have been all about Mahomes being mahomesy in and
using his legs despite not really using him for much
of the regular season. Yet here he is not not
only extending plays but running for first downs, eluding defenders,
lowering his shoulder, running into a safety at the three
(17:52):
yard line, and working his way all the way into
the end zone for a go ahead score. And you
know it's fun to watch. He's an incredible player. But
instead it's Travis Kelcey and his weird postgame press conference
and how cute he and Taylor Swift aren't they adorable?
And Caitlyn Clark's now in there, and Mama Kelsey says
Caitlyn Clark's a sweetheart, and now Taylor's celebrating with Mamma
(18:13):
Kelsey And where's Daddy Kelsey? And how about the pod?
Did Jason come out to support her? Did he stay
in Philadelphia for his team?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Kel divorced?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
And it's again not that the guy gives it damn.
I mean, he's worth a billion dollars, has a bunch
of commercials. But it's just it's kind of a bummer
that there's Paul to some degree cast over Mahomes because
he deserves nothing. But you know, really extreme praise.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Well, think of it like this, Matt. He's been carrying
around the drunk dad, the weird key faced girlfriend now wife,
and the weird brother his whole life.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
So there's no reason why we shouldn't believe anything. But
he's going to go down as the greatest player in
the history of the game. Supplanting Tom Brady, this run
that he's on right now is more impressive than any
stretch that he had in his career. Eight consecutive championship games,
the opportunity to win the first ever back to back
(19:08):
to back Super Bowls by a team, and basically since
he became a starter, they have never not been part
of the AFC Championship, winning five of the eight.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
And never since he took over. I mean, he's been
a spectacular flying around doing uncanny things. Where Brady, God
bless him, the greatest quarterback of all time for many
of us. Many of us think it's Joe Montana too,
but Brady, he was managing games when he first started,
and that.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Evolved and that, like you said, it's been all mahomes
since day one. In look a lot of this, you
alluded to it as the NFL's fault for an entity
that makes tens of billions of dollars every single year
to not deploy every single bit of technology available to
them to remove any questions of credibility surrounding the game
is just it's asinine and and look, you can we
(20:03):
can rehash whether or not the Bills would have won
had Josh Allen been awarded a first down that appeared
to clearly be a first down.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I don't know how they can't keep showing their ass
every time the Chiefs play. It's like they just get
their own way.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
You got one linesman sprinting from the far sideline from
the TV angle, so you get a really good look
at him and you're like, oh, yeah, he's well passed
the first down mark. And the next thing you know,
a couple of Chiefs getting his way and the other.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Prophecy. Yeah, it's like everybody expects the Reps to screw
and it happens every time.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Every time you have that play you mentioned it was
a bad spot on the third down in the first place,
and then on top of that, you've got a ball
that's intercepted, hits the ground, and yet somehow is called
a completion for the offense. It just it's it's it
doesn't make it.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Was that like a fifteen yard difference, that's a big.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Was a twenty five yard it would have been a
first down on the five yard penalty. Instead it's first
and goal from the three like it's And I'm not
saying they wouldn't have scored. I'm not saying the Chiefs
would have won. I just got done detailing. Yeah, Patrick
Mahomes would have figured out a way to win that
game because what he does. But again, how do you
not get out of your own way and then make
(21:16):
after the Houston game to share or to leak a
story that yeah, I think we're gonna make slides reviewable
moving forward, Like, don't even do that. Just wait until
the next year. And just in the list of things
that you've added to replay, have that be one of
the lines. To be reactionary instead of being proactive has
surrounded this Chiefs team. It's not fair to them, you know,
(21:39):
to be like, well, yeah, I guess we're winning all
these games because we're cheating. No, it's just like the refs,
for whatever reason, lose their freaking minds and replay loses
their mind when the Chiefs are in these games. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, they feel laminated. Yeah, on and off the field.
I mean, look at Andy Reid, his son and all that.
I mean, it's it's yeah, exactly. They feel like a laminade.
It's a pardon after damn, you're killing a little girl.
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Look, it would be all moot if you would just
do what every other sport does, and that's put a
chip in the ball and the laser line technology for
the first down like they have in soccer. I can't
afford it. No, you could do what the freaking college
football does and have a sky judge and just buzz
down when you're gonna overturn a player when you're looking
at a play, and not have to do the charade
(22:25):
of holding a Microsoft surface. You know, we're gonna give
you this twelve inch screen instead of the three hundred
inch monitor that we have in our command center because
it makes more sense for you on a field surrounded
by screening fans that could influence the call to look
at this little tablet instead of a person who gets
I don't know, seven thousand frames per second on seven
(22:48):
hundred times zoom. Because it makes more sense for you
to do it on the field on a freaking tablet.
It's just at some point yet you don't need to say,
you know, it's just going to the element of human
air that gives the game a little bit of character.
That doesn't It doesn't. It gives the game a guy exactly,
(23:08):
a black eye, a dark cloud, when instead we should
be talking about one of the absolute most likable players
in the last seven eight years in Saquon Barkley leaving
the complete disaster and mess of a front office and
ownership in the Giants to go to Philadelphia damn near
breaking and could have broke Eric Dickerson's record, instead sits
(23:30):
it out for the betterment of the team. They go
to the Super Bowl. He's incredible to watch. He's made
running backs relevant again. Versus Patrick Mahomes the magician the
Oh no, we're talking about there needs to be a
chip in the ball if we need to get a
sky judge. You can argue that Texans should have beat
the Chiefs because of those two bs roughing calls, and
(23:51):
it's so damn easy. And then I started thinking about it.
I'm like, hey, you thought they would have learned their
lesson after the Patriots went to eighth straight AFC Championship
games with the flight gate and the spygate and the
tuck rule, and like on the off sides, remember in
Kansas City the BS off sides call on Clark or Ford,
I can't remember who it was, And it's like, oh, yeah,
(24:13):
this is what happens when there's a dynasty. These things
creep up and these become the conversation because it sucks
that Josh Allen is as great at quarterback as he
is and he can't get over this hump. Lamar Jackson,
Lamar Jackson last year, Joe Burrow the year before. It's
the golden era of quarterbacking in the AFC. And again,
to make the analogy, Patrick Mahomes is like the Michael
(24:33):
Jordan Sorry, Chuck Barkley, Sorry, Patrick Ewing, Reggie Miller, Stockton Malone,
Sean Kemp just you're not You're great, but you're just
not great enough. And this guy's gonna stand in your
way and that sucks. And people probably want to see
somebody else win a championship, but this guy's just too
damn good.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Can't wait to hear Brady call it.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Oh Man, Yeah, it's gonna be awesome, good Chiefs. Let's
get on the field and call out a play that
everyone's confused by it, but.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Your old buddy Drew Trank will tweet it after the game.
Shout out to the Buffalo Bills. Heck of a battle.
The rest of y' all can take that ref talk
and kick rocks. Yeah kick. We stand on business. Go cheef.
Let's go Chee. We'll be back with your dead and
alive guy birth the other day. We're gonna do a
(25:22):
fun fact and quick hits, a whip around the world
of sports quickly, and let's go Chiefs. Stay with us.
Let's go Chee. Let's go Chiefs. Yes, the Chiefs and
the Eagles. The super Bowl you wanted to see Jalen

Foo balloo ball two weeks man.

We're also your home of the World Series champion Dodgers.
Dodger Fest is this Saturday, twelve to three. Yeah, twelve
to three, Fast Say, We'll host it live from Dodger Stadium.
Podcast our show. We were back early tonight because you
see l A versus Us E is on eleven fifty,
but that's not the reason. We're also back because of
(26:58):
the Clippers versus Suns into our favorite time slot, Matt.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Two five thirty. So if you checked in around four
o'clock or something, recognize, Yeah, they flexed us back to two,
so you got three and a half hours after our
meaty meat segment coming up at the top of the
hour here of Petro send money to consume from whatever
you might have missed. We continue to point out that
the Dream Center continues to help the city of Los
Angeles as we have teamed up with them here at iHeartMedia.
(27:23):
The relief and recovery efforts continue for those affected by
the wildfires, and the Dream Center is there to help
and get people the necessities and support they need. You

Speaker 1 (27:35):
All right, Matt, You're dead guy. Birthday of the day.
This month we've talked about Moliere, the French Shakespeare. Today
we get more modern and maybe as significant as Moliere
and Shakespeare because of what he did. If we had
Russian news, we'd play it. We celebrate Anton Checkoff sixty
(27:59):
five years old to day, Russian playwright, author, short story writer,
Lunger terrible, a nineteenth century life man. Not pleasant that Lunger,
playwriting producer of record for Russia. But his stories and
(28:23):
what he did on the stage is kind of made
him one of the most seminal figures in modernist theater.
You know, he made it more more real up there
on stage. You know what I'm saying, Matt interacting how
people really interact as opposed to you know, walking into
a room facing the crowd and going to be or
(28:45):
not to be. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I
saw my brother in a chekhof play in West la
It was filled with Russians. I wonder why, I mean,
we're talking about some stonefaced.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Russians taking blockheads.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Be just some real look like Easter Island in there.
Born on the port of the See of A's off
on a street called Chekhov Street. Now the school he
attended is now called You're Right, Yes, check off School. Yeah.
He read widely and noticed hypocrisy everywhere, including in his
(29:21):
domineering father. He wrote to support his whole family that
went bankrupt, and he became a doctor by trade. Also,
and yes, as I mentioned earlier, he suffered from tuberculosis.
His four plays Matt, the Seagull, Uncle Vanya, the Three Sisters,
(29:43):
and the Cherry Orchard set the back drop or backbone
of acting to this day. And we are your Broadway
and off Broadway show of record. It's not even close,
it's not. I mean, how many times have we done
him remote for the Pasaden playoffs?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Matt once a week?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Right, And we're't down at the Allegion at least three
times a week at least Schubert. We hit the Schubert.
Come on Dorothy Chandler Music Center. Oh, Matt, I'll tell
you you get people in there. Next time. The Pirates
of Penzance is coming. That's what we get down. We
get down to the carpenter and long beast, that's what
(30:24):
we do. His short stories are also very popular. He
was the toast of Saint Petersburg in his lifetime, so
he was famous while he lived, he had some wild
long hemorrhaging in Moscow and was married about three years
before his death. When he died, he was second only
(30:46):
to Tolstoy in fame in Russia, who he outlived. Tolstoy
outlived him, yes, rast years, well longer. He died a
longer in nineteen oh three, after sucking back a whole
glass of Champagne on his deathbed. He was forty four,
(31:08):
and it was nineteen oh one.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Which of the place was your brother in?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
You know, Matt, I couldn't tell you. I wanted to
say uncle Vanya.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
But whatever, I was too busy. Russians, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I mean, you know, Matt, I went to a lot
of plays. I mean I do remember the Elephant Man distinctly.
That that was a hard one to forget. There was
one where he made out with a guy on stage
in West Hollywood, and my father was the center on
our football team. And my father was like Jesus or center,
a large black man from Dallas. Yeah, we'll get high
(31:44):
and go to the play. No big deal.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Look, well you're a live guy. That is the backdrop
fetal alcohol syndroum. Russians in the audience, notwithstanding.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
A lot of vodka. Matt, I mean a lot and
weird castle role things.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Oh happy a live guy birthdated Seth Justman.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
It's like the charge of the light Brigade over.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Seth gets a raw deal man. He wrote all the songs,
he produced, all the records, he sung back up. Nobody
knows who he is. Seth who the lead guitarist who
doesn't even sing. The band is named after him, The
Jay Giles Band. Oh, that's Seth Giles and the This
is Seth Justman, who is seventy four today. The Wikipedia
(32:31):
page for Jay Giles band has pictures of three guys,
obviously Peter Wolf, the lead singer, Jay Giles, and Magic Dick,
the harmonica player.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I mean that the hard player. Those but those but
his name is Magic Dick. Right, have those three things
explained themselves? Now you have to make a.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Case for set Seth is listed as not pictured yet.
He wrote this great hit from the mid seventies. I
must have got lost that a lot of people probably
don't realize is the Jay Giles Band. He was born
in the district. He grew up in Atlantic City, playing
keys around Boston. When he started following the Jay Guiles
Blues band is what they were called. Peter Wolf was
a freaking DJ on WBCN when they plucked them to
(33:13):
be their lead singer. BCN is like the Alt ninety
eight or the Klos of Boston. They were a blues
band playing covers around town. Originals were harmonica centric blues
tunes until Seth came along. He added the keys, gave
them pop rock sound, wrote a bunch of tunes that
we all remember today. They stuck around Boston at the
start of the seventies, made a name for themselves and
(33:35):
Magic Dick was considered the best heart player anywhere in
the country.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Well that's why, there you go, there you go. They
were a bailey band, better than Toots the month.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Apparently at that time, they said Magic Dick changed the
way harp players and rock bands were viewed. Okay, Allman
Brothers called them from an on state from on stage
at a show in Boston, the best band in town.
They got to deal with Atlantic Records.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I don't know why you guys are here seeing us.
We suck us Almons, you got us out to see
Jay Giles. They're the best band of toew.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Seth wrote this and it nearly kind of you know,
made him really big. Instead, it was more of a
regional hit, kind of just outside the top ten nationally,
but it landed them support slots with The Stones and
Frampton and Rod Stewart. Again, rock bands loved them and
did everything they could to get him to break through.
They were the quintessential party band, great in bars, great
live show, but no songs that people wanted to buy
(34:29):
or hear over and over again until well nineteen eighty
Love Stinks comes out. Seth also wrote that one, but
MTV didn't hit the airwaves for another year, so it
was the quick release following Love Stinks in nineteen eighty two,
after MTV had been on for a year that really
(34:49):
blew the Jay Giles band wide open. Listen to Seth's
Sweet Keys Dancing Here on Freeze Frame, the Big Paint Fight.
It's a big win on MTV. But our man, Seth Justman,
was the sole writer and producer of their biggest hit,
centerfold My Blood Runs Cold. My Marie has just been
(35:10):
sold number one for a month and a half, number
one on MTV, and it put the album this one
Freeze Frame at number one on the Billboard Hot One
hundred Centerfold was one of the biggest songs of the
year video one of the driving forces they say behind
the early success of MTV that it was the most
played video on MTV for about two months straight. They
(35:32):
went number one in Canada, top five in the rest
of the world. Platinum record This one Freeze Frame was
top five all over the world, selling out arenas how
About This. In nineteen eighty two, U two opened up
for the Jay Giles Band. They toured Europe with the Stones.
Peter Wolf got the big head, said he didn't like
the new direction of the band.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Oh I don't like your big head, Peter Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
He's like, I gotta like this pop rock and new
waves sound with all the keys. Man, I'm out. So
he left and now it fell apart. But the good
thing is when he left, Seth kind of got into
production and he produced Deborah Harry's second solo release in
nineteen eighty six, which included French Kissing in the USA
(36:13):
Oo Yeah Yeah, written by by the Way Chuck Lorie.
Jay Giles band got back together in ninety nine with
Peter Wolf. They did gigs all the way through twenty fifteen.
Their final tour, Seth was there from the start, wrote
those two big hits not pictured on the Wikipedia page.
Is what he gets for it?
Speaker 1 (36:33):
That's unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Yeah, Seth Justman seventy four.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
I don't know why you guys are listening to us.
You gotta listen to our competition on the ESPN station.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
The Jay Giles Band.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Those guys are the best.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
They are the Jay Giles Band of LA Sports Talk.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
You're lucky, Matt. You're lucky that I'm not there today
because i'd you'd have pulled your nub back for asking
me which check off play it was. I almost went
full Ronnie.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
It doesn't matter what play it was, that is relevant relevant.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
They don't remember.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
The don would to be exposed, but the ques I
would like to point out the question did get the
addition of your father and center.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Well, that was a different place to remember the name
of that play.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
The men out with a dude and didn't give him
the heads up?
Speaker 1 (37:19):
You know who was in the player that he made
out with a dude in? Uh, Danica mckeller, the.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Oh from My Wonder Years. Yeah, lovely Lake Winnie Cooper
now a big hallmarks. Did he get to make out
with her too?
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I think he did nice.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
See that's the deal man. You make out with the
guy and then you get to make out with Winnie Cooper.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Yeah, I don't know if that was I don't know
if that was a consolation for my father and our center.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Didn't you ever see like the interview with Tom Hanks
after he did Philadelphia, and he was like, I'm very
upset with myself. I'm I should have I should have
insisted that the kiss be on screen with Antonio Benderis.
It was terrible acting on my part.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
You know, I don't remember watching a lot of interviews
about that movie. The Plumber is.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
A big bummer. Your brother. What I'm pointing out is
your brother more true to the craft truly than Tom Hanks.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Come on, everybody knows that. And they go to the
same church down there. That's right, all right, We'll be
back with more great supports.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
To tell Tassa to bring that up next time they
break bread downstairs around Easter.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
I think Hanks left the contry dude, because he got
coast to coast because of Wilson and all that. Oh
those Yeah, he's one of those weird celebrity vampire drinker
lad people.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Well, who knows, maybe he comes back and a one off,
and Tosso can hold that over his head.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You know, I didn't have Tom Hanks in my Bengo card,
as they say on Twitter, all greased up at a
Diddy party, but apparently.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
You know, hey, you get the invite, you go and
bye gones. You know, hey, you do this, I do that.
Whatever we leave and nobody ever speaks of it.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Ago, no, oh God, We'll be back with mar
