It's fun in effect. It's the Yeah We're three fun
fun fact brought to you by Price Picks. So I'm
going to use our code KLAC after you download the
Prize Picks app. KLAC code get you fifty bucks instantly

get that fifty dollars the moment you play a five
dollars lineup. You don't even have to win a lot
of webcams out here in the press area, in the
broadcast area the radio row, if you will, which really
isn't a radio, nobody.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Has to pay a real shooter anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Exactly right, just webcams everywhere. The first webcam ever came
courtesy of researchers at Cambridge University. What did it do?
It monitored the coffee pot, so the folks that were
trying to make a webcam work did not have to
leave their desks until they saw the coffee pot was

(03:17):
full and their brewed coffee was ready. I like to
think that's very practical of them.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
You'd think they'd put it on a like a sleeping baby.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Or something something like that, but instead.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Or like a patient, you know, somebody ether eyes on
the table or something like that. But something as arbitrary
as coffee, which I guess is a big deal because
you know, every morning, coffee is what makes me come back,
come back, geter.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Right, So you say that, and I was thinking like
Revenge of the Nerds in that camera situation from a
film that could never be made in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh, to spy on naked women and the right sorority
house to basically break the law, bank the law, penny raide,
circumvent their privacy exactly right. That's terrible, Matt. It is terrible, horrible,
horrible type for quick hits to quick hits. I'll make

(04:15):
it quick, y'all. Oh yeah, wow. We talked to David
vassa way earlier. The Dodgers played the Mariners at Campbell
Back Ranch. Who's back? Mariners putting up double digits on
the Dodgers really really taking it too, the Dodgers' colos

(04:35):
and their teal uniforms. But either way, it was speaking
of Seattle. Blake Snell day out of Shorewood High School.
He made his first start of the spring. He retired
three of the four batters that he faced. Snell through
thirty pitches, landed twenty strikes. David Vassay reached orgasm three

(04:56):
times during the very brief period he was up there,
and the Mariners fouled off twelve pitches. His line was
one inning pitched, one hit, zero runs, one strikeout. Here's
Blake Snell after the game. The rapid breathing you hear
in the background is David Messei.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah, the fastball was ahead of where I want to
honestly vlow wise how it's coming out. So I'm pretty
pretty happy with it. Ninety six in spring first game,
and I just felt connected and feel like I was
trying to overthrow. I was really happy with where it's at.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Sou good down your Szila.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I know I couldn't hear the breathing, but I just
imagine him standing there with that David Messi smile on
his face, smelled Zilla. You tell him do any big.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
With the.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, you know they were able to get it, you know,
wood on it twelve different times. But man, I liked
where it was, really loved where that is.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
No vassay tonight, too too much vassay for Snell. Zella day.
He's just he is exhausted. Plus we have Brewant Insider,
very exciting Lakers are thirty four and twenty one. The
host the Mavericks Tonight to be a lot cooler, Well,
it would be cooler if Anthony Davis didn't blow his leg,
and Nico Harrison's going to get a Prince Nasim Ahmed

(06:29):
type of entrance.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yes, I hear he's getting in exactly right. You're going
to put him on throne.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Living in America. Poor Luca has got to face his
former team, so he'll be more red and fleshy and
flushed than normal. Here he is, after his thirty two
perform point performance versus the Nuggets, about fitting it, not
fitting out, Matt, but fitting in. Do you get what

(06:55):
I mean? You know, because Lebron slips up tweeting Kevin Lowe.
Here he is about fitting in with the Lakers.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
What our goal is doing championship, you know, and that's
our only goal, and I think we have the thing
for that, you know. Obviously the chemistry with me and
the guys you know, is gonna take a little time still,
but you know, like you saw today, I think he's
getting better and better.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Very sensitive of Lebron, of course, considering the mental health
situation with Kevin Love as he was very open about that.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
How about fitting out, Yeah, exactly right and fitting in.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Congratulations to Luca. Seems like he had his Laker moment
on Saturday and now does not have to answer questions
about why he's playing poorly since his arrival in Los Angeles.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Well, speaking of playing poorly, Matt oh Clippers dropped one
of the lowly Pistons. They're opher on their road trip
thirty one and twenty six. They lost three in a row,
only percentage points ahead of the Tea Wolves for the
sixth spot in the West. They're in Chicago, as Matt said,
to take on your Chicago Bulls, and things are not
good now.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
They both stink. Pistons have been playing a little bit
better as of late. I think that was their sixth
straight win. The Bulls absolutely stank.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
They have a night out on Chicago and then they're
going to play tomorrow. We have a flex alert.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Colert stand right up the street from United Center. There
you got Gibson's and all the escorts that like to
hang out in the bar.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
There's a lot of trouble they could get into over there.
Now it's cold outside. Everybody's trying to stay warm. Lou
Williams isn't on the team anymore. You hang out with
him more than they do.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
They that was a coincidence. Here is there Number one
Number actually wasn't a coincidence. He said, that's where he
basically hangs out all the time. You have too, especially
when I didn't anticipate entering the strip club portion of
Magic City. I was told I was there to get
wings and wings only.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
The only portion of Magic City is a strip club,
unbeknown's to me. Sure there are your pictures up all
over Indianapolis is burlesque shows. Mad everybody knows you know.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
I love the burless.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
I love a burlesque show. Combine. Weat Gypsy Rosalie in
Indianapolis Live. Coaches and gms talked to the media today.
Matt was like, oh Joe, it's me and Matt Smith.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Last question over hair players.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Chargers GM, Joe Hortiz said the team is always looking
to improve in every position except quarterback. We like our quarterback.

Speaker 6 (09:17):
I never think a position as solidified other than quarterback,
you know, and even with quarterback, you better have you know,
death behind him, right, So, no, I would never say
any position our team is solidified because it's a it's
every year is different, and so they won't preclude us
from taking an offensive lineman, you know, because there's three

(09:38):
first round picks on the offensive line, you know, but
we're gonna take the best player available when it comes
to drafting.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
You know.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
I will say it is annoying, and I understand why
more and more head coaches and gms are skipping the combine.
It's like Super Bowl. When Hortez did his fifteen minute presser,
basically had like four reporters from Baltimore that asked him
nothing but Raven's questions. There were two or three people
from Detroit talking about Michigan football, and then a local

(10:07):
reporter from Georgia that wanted to ask him about his
relationship with Kirby Smart. And they all want to get
their little nuggets that they can then put on their
webcasts or whatever. And It's like, what am I doing
here for fifteen minutes? This does not benefit me, It
doesn't I'm helping the press. Let's get out of here
so we can then, did anybody.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Ask him about Tucker?

Speaker 2 (10:28):
All the Baltimore questions, surprisingly no, none of them were
about Hey man, did you do ai Ali?

Speaker 3 (10:45):
All right? Brett Veach, general manager of the Chiefs, said
they're planning for Travis Kelce to play in twenty twenty five.
Oh man, this sucks. I don't want try want him
to be done. What is this?

Speaker 2 (11:04):
You wan full time? What are the headlines? I mean,
I mean this keeps him relevant. I would imagine he's
probably afraid, like, hey, if.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
I retire, Well, yes, she's gonna get rid of him.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
She's gonna ditch me. She likes showing up in the
suite and being the bell of the NFL's eyes.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
She's not gonna You're just another retired tight end. You're
Mark Brevaro with bad hair. That's true. H We'll see
what happens. I guess he's coming back. I wish you wouldn't.
We found out that it was Green Bay. It was
you Green Bay who have asked the NFL Rules Committee
to ban the tush push. Packers president and CEO Mark

(11:38):
Murphy called the tush push bad for the game after
the Packers were eliminated by the EAGLESFF best.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
The only thing it's bad for the game is that
people keep calling it the tush push.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
It's blowny.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Get past that and just go Yeah, it's a sneak,
it's short yardage play, it's quarterback keep.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
It's a football play. I don't know why it's so
I like, I mean, I know, the pushers went away
for a while, you couldn't push a guy, and then
people were just pushing him anyway, and they would never
call the penalty. And then the pushers came back. And
now some argue that they're being exploited. But at the
same time, if you don't like it, stop it.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
You know me, I'm your friend.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Raven Raven's general manager, Eric Tacosta said Tuesday that the
number of sexual misconduct allegations made against Kicker Justin Tucker
is serious and concerning, but indicated that the team will
wait before determining his future in Baltimore. In total, sixteen

(12:39):
would be whackers massage therapists from eight high end Baltimore
areas there's your problem have made allegations of sexual misconduct
against Tucker. If he had just gone to a place
called like, you know, soft Palms, he'd be fine, house old.

(13:02):
According to the Baltimore Banner, which I guess is a
free paper out there, all of the incidents reportedly occurred
from twenty twelve to twenty sixteen, and then he graduated
from Whax School after those four years, right, and then
he must have gone somewhere figured it out where it
stopped happening because I mean, you got, I mean, how

(13:24):
long does it take to find somebody that's going to
do what you ask him?

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Four years?

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Somebody to wiggle you?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
How long it took four years?

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Your turkey gobbler. He either got He either was reformed
after four years from having his puzzo manipulated, or or.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
We're attempting to have his puzzo manipulated.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Or he found somebody or a syndicate of putso manipulators
that would no longer push back on him. Yeah, but
it's good to know that the legal anvil has not
been dropped on him from Baltimore. Good luck to everybody.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
But we're going back through the film and we're to
see if we can remedy the misses that he's had
this past two years, and whether or not he can
be recloration project or he's just no longer a good kicker.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
If you can still kick, We don't care who touches.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
His poo, really don't care.

Speaker 3 (14:18):

Speaker 3 (16:10):
All right, Matt, we still got the UCLA insider to come,
but we'll do Dad and a live guy. Birthday of
the Day next tomorrow is a Flex Alert, like you said.

Speaker 5 (16:25):
Alert.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
But right now it's time for the Flip Top Story
of the day. I'll flip you out. I will put
you out. This is the Flip Top story of the day. Well, Matt,
we talked about it a little bit in the last segment.
I call college football and have done so well nationally
since two thousand and four, so twenty one years I've

(16:49):
been calling college football, and I try not to say
like I was there, you know, like the LCD sound
System guy in the song Losing My Edge. I try
not to do it very much of that. Unless I
feel the kids coming behind me on the decks, I
feel their footsteps. The point is, Matt, I try not

(17:11):
to do too much of that. You know, thirty years man,
you know, like Tony Bruno, talking and talking. But something
interesting came up today as the NCAA Rules Committee is
in session, probably right down the street from where you
are right now, Matt, and they are discussing this week

(17:33):
something that's been very prevalent in college football. And I'll
tell you when it started, but they're talking about teams
faking injuries during games. It's been a growing issue since
the practice emerged, and practice emerged to cool down up
tempo offenses because back when I played in the dark ages,

(17:55):
most everybody huddled up and you didn't have to worry
about if somebody heard or not. You had that time
between plays to rest. But with the uptemple offenses, you
can't get off the field. If somebody fakes an injury
then or actually is hurt, then you can get off
the field and take a breather and maybe get somebody

(18:16):
else in the game with some different substitutions, get different
packages in the game. Just get the guys a second
to put their hands on the hips and take a
deep breath, just a second to screen something at your
defense out on the field. So there's a lot of
advantages to it. Steve Shaw said, we're at an inflection point.
He's the head of the committee. We have to do

(18:38):
something anything. The SEC has stepped up and will penalize
coaches found guilty with a public reprimandment and fine, even
a suspension if necessary. How do you tell somebody that

(19:00):
you know that the coach has made them fake that
injury on that particular drive, in this particular sequence, in
this particular game. Not easy, Matt. The American Football Coaches
Association has formally proposed the most detailed solution yet. If

(19:22):
there is a medical stoppage, the player in question would
have to miss the rest of the series. If the
players then cleared medically, to get that player back on
the field, you'd have to call a timeout and burn
one of your timeouts to get that player back on
the field. There would be exceptions, Matt, and this is

(19:44):
a very modern thing for the helmet communication players. If
it's your quarterback or your mike linebacker, or even your
strong safety whoever wears the green dot, you could get
that guy in right after one play. Now that's a
very interesting thing, like how do you go about enforcing

(20:07):
this rule. We know what's happening. People like Lane Kiffin
screaming yell about it after every game, and yet you
look back at the tape and their team did it
four five times. Old Miss did it too. So everybody's
doing this because, as you know, Matt, in the midst
of a football game, anybody will do anything to get
ten seconds to think, especially when it comes to a

(20:29):
lot of these fast paced offenses when they start to
trying to out tempo. You your impressions on the rule, Matt,
well or the proposed rule. Excuse me?

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, I think we kind of always assumed that this
thing was going to get adjusted and tweaked and figured out.
It's something that I think a lot of fans have lamented.
I mean, you can speak to it a lot better
than I can, being on the field and kind of
knowing what this thing looks like and the advantages that
are gained, you know from playing a certain style that
maybe your opponent's not well tired. Well, I mean they're

(21:00):
all used to it now, but that doesn't mean it's easier.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
Well, yeah, exactly, I mean you're used to it, but
still a bunch of eighteen nineteen year old kids get
tempoed and the hashmarks are different in college, which means
there's a farther way to run. You know, people get
more tired because there's more field to cover, especially when
you're to the field. So it's all very interesting. But
what's to stop a team if this is the rule.

(21:24):
You get started in a two minute drail or something,
you know you're going to be tempoed in or against
a really up tempo offense like an Oklahoma State or
something or organ of yesteryear. You get into one of those,
you just put in your other sam backer in the
first play, second third play, you have them lay down,
and then you get your starter in or nickel guy.

(21:45):
I mean you can manipulate it. Yeah, you can coach
around this, which is kind of interesting. And then you say, well,
well we'll keep the guy out a whole quarter like
we used to do in old timey football. If you
came out of the game, you couldn't come back here
until the end of the quarter. So very interesting on
how to litigate this. The reason I brought it up

(22:05):
I thought it was interesting beyond the quick hits is
it's not very often that I can say I was
there but I was there. It was and I had
to look back because the years that I call college
football games get really jumbled together and it's hard to
kind of but I found the game. It's from twenty ten.

(22:27):
It was the third game of the year, I think,
between a PAC ten Game of the week at night
in Tempe, Oregon. Chip Kelly's second year blowing everybody away
with their tempo and Michael James and they played at
Arizona State against Dennis Erickson's team and they started faking injuries.

(22:52):
Fontes Burfect guys like that, remember that. Yeah, Yeah, they
started faking injuries and no one knew. I mean, the
guy just limped off the field a couple times, and
we covered it like we did a normal game. And
it was an exciting game. It was an interesting game.
Organ outpaced him and won forty two to thirty one.
And that was twenty ten, So that was the year.
I think they lost to cam Newton at the end

(23:13):
of the year in the BCS championship game. But what
was interesting it was a night game in Tempee. We
went to I was a younger man, so we went
to a bar after the game and I was peeing
in the bathroom and a guy came up to me
while I was peeing and recognized me and said, I
am the strong safety for the Arizona State sun Devils.

(23:34):
They said, you're Max tay Back and he said, yes,
I am. And he came back to the table and
we were chopping it up and I had to tell
him a story about his coach. I was coach told
him that he didn't like playing him because he's white,
which he knew already. I said, you know, coach said
he likes to play you to the boundary. He said,
what because I'm white. I said, yeah, that's exactly what

(23:55):
he said.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Just figuring that out.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Junior like twenty tackles a game though, And anyway, Tabac's like,
you know, we faked all those injuries, man, I was
like really, He's like yeah, Erickson said we'd just fake
injuries if they start going fast. We just started lipping
off the field and it was it was an amazing
moment because you could kind of tell that something fishy

(24:19):
was going on. I had Organ was the very first
to play with that kind of pace, and Arizona State
was the very first in conference to try to counter
it with something, and so I was there that night
that they started faking injuries in college football to slow
down up tempo offenses. It was September twenty fifth, twenty ten,

(24:41):
Oregon versus Arizona State. How about that? How about that
feigning injury? Don't do it, kids, that's not football, man,
teenage suicide. Don't do it exactly right. It's not easy.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
I mean, you know, and I guess the one other
the other.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
People would say, is it football to line up real
fast while the linebackers still trying to get the call
in with his hands on his hips up and puffing.
Some people might say, that's not football.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
What if the what if the coach behaves like your
father did when you were injured on the field and
would just scream about you needing to come off because
your leg was broken or something, don't you.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, we'll try to keep you on if you'll push
you back off, right, Well, you have to come and
be like, no, you can't get off.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
We're not you know, you're not allowed to come off.
Figure it out.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
You push, get pushed back onto the field exactly. I
think that might be pedalized too, but that'll be next
year's rules committee meeting anyway, that's what's going on in
college football. An interesting blast from the past back from
twenty ten Vontes perfects Arizona State Sun Devils. What is
like Tip going to do? I don't know. I mean,

(25:48):
he's gonna complain about it and he's gonna do it.
So he's gonna so he's gonna, uh, he's gonna talk
out to eat something snarky. Yeah, he'll talk out of
both sides of his mouth like normal. We'll be with
your dead and a live guy Birthday of the Day,
and that'll be that in the world of great sports talk.

All right, Matt beating out Ron Santo, Poor Ron Santo,
who got a raw deal? Damn right back when Matt
was more of a Cubs fan man. He had me
crying real tears for Ron Santo and Pat O'Brien's bff.
Not really the great George Harrison beating them both out.

(27:39):
Is Zeppo Marx one hundred and twenty four years old
today of the famous Marx family. It's a little dated.
I guess the marks just like Charlie Chaplin, but not
here on the Petrosen Money Show.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
You know, as a man of the Jewish persuasion, I
certainly apporded.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Well, they're Jewish stars from New York that's right, Sons
of Taylor. Zeppo is the youngest Marx Harpo Marx and
he was named after a trained chimpanzee, Zippo, and he
did not like the name.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
He were named after a monkey.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
There were four Marx brothers, Chico, Harpo, Groucho, Gummo and Zeppo.
The brothers had a stage act and Zeppo could replace
any of them because he watched the act as a
young man. He replaced Gummo when Gummo got drafted for

(28:37):
World War One. Zeppo did not like show biz. He
was more of a mechanical minded guy. Was working as
a mechanic for the Ford Motor Company. He did only
two Marx Brothers classic movies in the thirties. He was
always the straight man Marx brother Duck Soup and Monkey Business.

(28:58):
Not exactly a lightweight.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Man named after a monkey, and he's got to do
monkey business, thanks guys.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
He kidd it. He could replace any of the brothers
when necessary, illness or whatever. In fact, they used his
profile and one of the more famous movies and it's
supposed to be Groucho, but Groucho wasn't there. It's Zeppo.
And you could tell when he turns his profile. He
was great with cars. He bought a machine company, Marmon

(29:25):
Marmon Products, and he made motorcycles for World War Two
and clamps to hold bombs. And the Marmon clamps that
Zeppo owned were used to clamp and hold and release
the atomic bob.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Yeah, old Man and little Boy fat Man, exactly right.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
That's old ass bob. It still blew up pretty good.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
That's right. Old Man and little Boy were the two
ghosts that lived in our villa when I lived in Italy.
Fat Man and little Boy the nukes.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
He knew a lot of gangsters and was called to
testify once for a high stakes gambling ring. Apparently he
had a bit of a gambling problem. Oh call what
he'd had a gambling He then opened a theater agency
to represent actors and producers and writers with Gummo, which

(30:19):
was very successful. Mary twice And the real story about
Zeppo Marx is Barbara. His second wife. Barbara was real
nice and they became friends with the Frank Sinatra, and
pretty soon Sinatra's sending over champagne and wine during the

(30:40):
week they're hanging out. Oh no, Sinatra snatched his wife
Barbara and you know, you got to give Sinatra credit.
I mean, he waited till Humphrey Bogart died before he
had a roll in the hay with old Lauren MacCall.
But you got to give Sinatra credit. This was his
last wife. He stayed with Barbara until he died in

(31:02):
ninety eight.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
And I'm sure that made does Zeppo feel a lot better?
Well getting cut?

Speaker 3 (31:07):
She lived to be ninety high on the hog and
Zeppo died in ranch Rancho Mirage where they all lived
at seventy eight, and very interesting speaking about getting cooked.
Frank and Barbara were basically the people that took care
of him when he was sick, taking him to the
hospital and stuff, and they attended his funeral.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Is that supposed to make it feel a little better?

Speaker 3 (31:35):
I guess I talk Frank Sinatra, I don't know, Yeah,
I guess it's like I'd like to think, what do
you want me to do? You know, it was his
second wife. I'd like to think that Zeppa was slinging
a lot of puzzo, but.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Who's to say a regular at the nest fret throwing
it all over the place exactly.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Fred should do a story on this.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Zeppo marks the tip.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
You're welcome. Fred. Your viewership demographic will suck up a
Zeppel Mart's story, No doubt.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
There you Goeppo Mars your live guy. Pee is British News.
It's time for PMS.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
British News, United Kingdom, English News.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
It's time for British News. Cheerio gets out, David Terrence Putnam,
Baron Putnam, Lord Putnam, you want to talk about a
dude that could punch you in the gut through the
silver screen. I do not know if there is a

(32:34):
guy or a gal who's produced more incredible films that
make you feel like absolute hell while you're watching them.
Our man, Lord Putnam, British Irish film producer, educator, former
member of the House of Lords after he decided he
didn't want to make movies anymore. Butocks what films for

(32:55):
our man, Lord Putnam? Cherriot's a fire?

Speaker 3 (32:59):
Ah? Oh, come on?

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Which fun? Okay, We're good.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
My lungs are so big. I can breathe as you
can hear the music behind me right now? The mission,
Matt When the Dodgers losing the playoffs every year, Don
Martin straps himself to a cross and.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Goes over them goes over the waterfall, the killing Fields.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
We are your pull pot show of record.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Not even close. And of course I.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Mean we don't like him. Now about how about I'm
not hitling.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Uh, Midnight Express all our man, Lord Putnam.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Oh, Billy, I was waiting.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
I know you were.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
And perhaps the most depressing of them all, Memphis Bell
Come on. Yeah, that one kind of is a bit
of an outlier here for Lord Putnam compared to the others.
They'll probably rename the BAFTAs after him. He's already been
awarded the BAFTA for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema and
the Bath of Fellowship for Lifetime Achievement from the British

(34:02):
Academy of Film Television. Uts Born in London. His father
was a famous photographer. Dave started out in advertising did well,
worked at the famed Collette Dickinson Pierce before becoming an
agent for famous photographers David Bailey and Brian Duffy. He
got into film early seventies, his first feature Melody. Then

(34:23):
he did some documentaries, did some films that did okay,
did a lot of World War Two docs that had
some traction. But the big success would come later. That decade,
Putnam produced The Duellists, which was the debut of Ridley
Scott as a director, and the following year took a
script from a gentleman by the name of Oliver Stone
and made Midnight Express Holliston. In nineteen eighty one he

(34:47):
did Chariots of Fire, the first feature directed by Hugh Hudson,
was the film of the Year, won the Academy Award
for Best Picture. Eighty Three's Local Hero was a big hit,
and in eighty four did perhaps the most depressing of
them all, The Killing feat Fields, directed by Roland Joffei,
that won three Oscars. Two years later Jeffy again directed

(35:07):
de Niro. The mission won the Palm d'Or at Cannes,
and then in eighty six.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
Who doesn't want to strap themselves to a cross? Go
over the Fall?

Speaker 2 (35:19):
He left for politics in ninety seven when he entered
the House of Lords. That's when he became Baron Putnam
of Queensgate in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
From twelve to seventeen he was the Prime Ministerial Trade
Envoyd of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia. Hey Paul, what's up, mister Pott?
And Myanmar. He did retire from the House of Lords

(35:41):
in October twenty one. In total, Putnam's films have won
ten Oscars, thirteen Golden Globes, nine Emmys, four David Di
Donatellos and The Palm d'Or at can not to mention
thirty one Baptist Happy eighty fourth Sir word baron putting them.
