Speaker 4 (01:41):
Have only one more segment after this. We'll do a
longer segment here and a longer segment next, and then
we'll take you straight to Lexington, where UCLA has taken
on Utah State. We've talked about it, the Aggies versus
the Bruins, and I'll tell you, Matt, I have been
looking forward to this tournament for quite some time. We've
been asking all kinds of pundits whenever they come on

(02:04):
to talk about college basketball about the tournament, because nothing
really matters about the tournament. And now the tournament is
here and UCLA's plans have.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
To do, indeed they are. Their run to the Final
four begins at six twenty five pm in Lexington, a
spot where the Whites were able to overcome a hometown
crowd for Louisville, but Creighton able to pull off the
upset and advance. We'll see if UCLA can do the

(02:33):
same thing. Over Utah State again. Tip off six twenty
five pm, So we're gonna be off a little bit
early before the top of the hour so you can
get that full thirty minute brewin pregame in to make
sure you're caught up on ever, you're ready exactly right?

Speaker 3 (02:49):
How do you know that?

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Well, we just assume. Yeah, that's a schedule packed full
of information.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Master schedule maker Brian Blackmore. You know that's what it says.
What else?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
What are you gonna do? I mean, Mick Love coming
on before and after the game, he's a big fan
of that.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Where you're gonna go.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
I'll tell you this though, and it's a very exciting thing, Matt.
This tournament action.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Is fine, no fire, especially if UCLA makes a run
like they did back in twenty twenty one. Hey, UCLA
make a run like they did in twenty twenty one.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
That would really be ideal for all of us on
the station because that's the team we support.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Matt. I believe you have the final hour of fun fact.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
It's fun effect, it's the Yeah We're three.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Fun fact brought to you by Price Picks. We love
prize picks. Use our code KLAC and you get fifty
dollars instantly when you make your first five dollars lineup.
You don't even have to win that lineup. You just
make the lineup and fifty dollars instantly into your account.
But niche klac is the code Prize Picks is the

(03:52):
app fifty bucks when you play your first five dollars lineup?
All right, here we go for our friends follow us
when there is no play by play. I believe you
have renamed them big Head and diet Face. Is that correct?

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yes, that's correct. The Fox Sports Radio show. Yes, the
Jason Smith Show featuring the Swollen do't.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
The term nutritionist is not legally protected nor regulated. Anyone
can advertise themselves as a nutritionist, regardless of education or credentials.
So big Head in diet Face can claim to be
nutritionists based on their new diet that has one of

(04:38):
them down to like a size thirty six pant.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Niece and the others down thirty to thirty pounds. Right.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
However, if someone is titled a dietitian, or more specifically,
a registered dietitian, that legally requires education via credentialed curriculum
and passing a registration dietitian exam. So you want to
see the dietitian, maybe not the nutrition that's right. Nutritionists

(05:07):
can be the creepy guy.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
It could be me. I suggest you go home and
climb into the bottle. That's right.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
What I like to do is pass out everyone. I
had to do is put the glass on the counter. Oh,
drop two cubes in there, and then I like to
look at that glass for a little bit and let
the water, you know, the cube melt a little bit
to get a couple of droplets of water there, and
then I like to pour the boozy.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I thought you were going to talk about call and
pouring a beer. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Oh, you know what we have to get that sound
directly jump the gun.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
We do need that. No, we don't.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
We need He had a glove. That's what we need.
That's that's what we really need. That's it we need.
Andy had a glove. All right, it's time for quickts.
Everybodyickets come make a quick y'all.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, talk to David Vassay.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
In the first hour, The Dodgers are back home after
taking two from the Cobs. The Dodgers landed last night
from Tokyo. They play it again on Sunday when they
start the exhibition Freeway Series versus the Angels. Opening Day
at Dodgers Stadium is a week from today, and they
may be honoring the McNeese State Cowboys at a Lake Charles,

(06:25):
Louisiana formerly known as Lake Charles Junior College right before
the first.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Pitch, because yeah, McNee really just now.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
We talked to James Worthy and it's good. It's a
good reason the Lakers have won three in a row.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
They're hot.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yes, they will host them Milwaukee Bucks tonight at Crypto.
I drove by Crypto earlier today en route via a
different route because I was at the Bolt doing a podcast,
and I saw the glorious Crypto dot Com sign and
I thought about and I thought about no lebron and
that groin injury, No Luca sprained ankle, second game of

(07:08):
a back to back for the Lakers. Is Luca had
thirty one last night in the win over the Nuggets
and will not play tonight, as we mentioned, with that
sprained ankle. But you know what that means?

Speaker 3 (07:17):
What does it mean?

Speaker 2 (07:18):
It means some playing time maybe for a certain someone
that was drafted fifty to fifth overall.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Bronnie g yeah, Bronnie James.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Speaking of Bronnie James.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Well, yes, he's addressing all the negativity surrounding his NBA
career in a new piece of the Athletic. He said,
my first thought about everything is I always try to
get let it go through one ear and out the other,
put my head down and come to work and be
positive every day. Bronnie said, could be talking to you, man,
but sometimes it just it fuels me a little. I

(07:52):
see everything that people are saying, people like Matt Smith,
people like think like I'm an efing robot, like I
don't have any feelings or emotions.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Brodnie continued, Maybe.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
You uhould talk to your dad, But I just take
that and use it as fuel for me to go
out wake up every day and get to the gym early,
maybe as early as nine am, get my extra work in,
watch extra film every day, and get better every day.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
For shame on the haters. Shame shame, shame on shaters.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
I read the article this morning. Yeah you did, or
as much of it as I could before I had
to close it because I couldn't take it.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Oh you had to pull the cord and I was
gonna say, there's no way he was able. No way
in hell you were able to get through a puff
peast like that, not with your refined stomach pull the
rip cord early.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
The gentleman's name was Joe Varden. I believe I know
the last name was Varden. I think his first name is.
Joe covered the calves and it was the puffiest of
puff pieces, the puffs with lotion. Is how huffy this was.
Joe wrote his statistics in there and said, you know,

(09:07):
you may just look at the season statistics and see
that he's only played an X number of games, that
he's only averaging one point four points, and that he's
only shooting twenty seven percent, but that doesn't tell the story.
In a recent game, when the Lakers were limited due
to injury, Bronni was called upon against the Denver Nuggets,

(09:30):
and even though you look at that box score and
it says one for five from the field, he.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Hit a three all sign Hey. He also had a
terrible air ball later in the game when they really
needed it.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
He alluded to his high school years being years of
sacrifice to help better his teammates. He alluded to his
USC career being marred by medical condition which we understand,
and then pointed to how good he's been in the

(10:07):
G League and he's like, he's shooting thirty one percent
from three.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Well.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
The thing that bothers yeah, great. The thing that bothers
me the most about is the sc stuff that they
talk about with him is they've had it both ways.
They first say, well, he had a heart issue and
a terrible almost tragedy, which, of course, Matt, as you said,
we all understand. And then they turned around later and said, oh,

(10:34):
he wasn't used correctly at US. Well, which one is it?
Was it the heart condition, which was a real thing,
or was it that he just wasn't good enough to
play and start at USC and you don't think he
was used correctly?

Speaker 3 (10:47):
And Andy Enfield ended up leaving.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
I mean, it's always going to be something because his
father put him in a terrible position to be criticized
like this, And if it is upset with people that
criticize him, he should be upset with it dad for
forcing this situation on the world.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
And I would say, if you're Brownie, go ahead and
decline that piece. When Varden says, hey, let me write
your dad reached out to me, we go way back.
I've been covering you since you were a ball kid
at three years old. Let me do this for you.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
If he was sad enough to decline the piece, he'd
be playing at Irvine right now in the tournament probably,
and everybody would be celebrating him, and it would be
a great story. Instead, it's a terrible story, and it's
got Stephen A. Smith on one of the most self
aggrandizing butt tours that I've ever seen in.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
My leat had not been in the public God to
beat his ass.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah, okay, that right? Shut up? Is that right? Quote?

Speaker 5 (11:38):
I think in high school I would hold back a
little bit just because of how young I was, my experience,
stuff like that, stuff like that, you averaged fourteen as
a senior and we're a second team All leaguer in
the Mission League.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Stuff like that. Hold back a little bit because I
was so Yeah, everybody's young, it's high school.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Fourteen's pretty good. But enough for the McDonald's All Star.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Okay McNeese, the Clippers.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
I'm going tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Tomorrow's your night.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, I have to go.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
There's a I don't know why they just can't call
it like there's a Toyota display or whatever that I
have to be at.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
It's called an activation.

Speaker 6 (12:21):
Isn't that stupid? See you over at the I hate
the activation. We'll see you over at the Toyota activation site.
It's like, Okay, I'm not in the freaking ci A.
It's not funeral in Berlin.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
That's that is sports. That is just straight sports vernacular.
Now we have activations, activations the hell does that mean?
So it's a promo, it's an event, it's a contest activation.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
The Clippers are pretty hot.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
I think they've won eight and nine and four in
a row, and they're taking on the Griz with me and.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
My tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Patrosien money, Sweet Experience, octaveate.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, that's what.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
I get to take a tour with a Clipper official
of the arena.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
I hope it's Chris.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
Hey, Chris, guess who's working for Toyota. Would you like
to take a ride in my taco truck and your
seventy dollars parking lot?

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Oh that's the wrong Chris, dammit, I thought we had it.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Boston Celtics ownership Group has agreed to sell the franchise
for six point one billion dollars to build Chisholm Jesus.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yes. Yes.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Chisholm is the managing director and co founder of the
California based private equity firm Symphony Technology Group. The Boston
Globes Adam Himmel's Bach first reported this Thursday. The deal
will set a record for the most Yes, it is
quite a bit of money most of North American professional

(14:02):
sports franchise has ever sold, for surpassing the six point
five valuation of the Washington Commanders when Josh Harris bought
the team and changed their fate in twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Three, more than an NFL team, the Boston Celtics.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah, it's a brand, man. It is makes you wonder
how much the Lakers are worth. Oh, sell the team
twenty billion.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
We've talked about it repeatedly. UCLA is UCLA will tip
it off in about an hour. Seven seed taken on
the ten seed Utah State. It'll be on after our show,
the pregame at fifty five, the tip at six to
twenty five. Kates will have post game Brewin talk right
here at eight six six ninety seven, two five seventy.

(14:51):
Nick Cronin really loves engaging with the media, and yesterday
in Lexington we talked about how every little part of
an NCAA tournament game is important.

Speaker 7 (15:00):
Thing matters that an out of bounds play, whether it's
offensive defense, could decide whether you go home or not
or you move on. So the details that I try
to be so demanding on with these guys during the season,
there's a reason. It's all for this moment, you know,
to try to advance and win this tournament.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
So that's just the way we operate.

Speaker 7 (15:25):
And I tell you we talked about it again today.
You know, as you're going over you know a special
situation and how important one one detail and one play
could be.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
We're looking forward to the game. Bad stuff at Stanford
and their coach, Troy Taylor. Pair of investigators found coach
Taylor mistreated female staffers and tried to have an NCAA
compliance officer removed after being warned of rule violations. That
usually goes well, welcome to Stanford, Troy, it's hard place
to navigate. Taylor also made several inappropriate comments around another

(16:00):
female's appearance about another female's appearance. The first investigation ended
with a warning letter signed by Taylor last February.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
I don't need to sign this, Troy, all right, I'll
sign it.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
That was after his first season. A second investigation last
summer sided an ongoing pattern of concerning behavior by coach Taylor.
More than twenty former and current female staffers cooperated with investigators.
Troy Taylor is six and eighteen to two seasons in Stanford.
Oh know who will climb the tree and lead it? WHOA?

Speaker 2 (16:34):
I don't know if you can survive six and eighteen
huh yeah? Yeah, Hey guys, I thought you said those
investigations were all good and we were moving past it.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah, well he beat a good Syracuse.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Team sixteen eighteen. Here Troy is looking.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
To Colorado in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 5 (16:51):
That's Andrew Luck's mess to deal with now, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Andrew Luck, sir, here's the thing, Droy, I request parlance
with you.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
May we parlay?

Speaker 2 (17:04):
How's this squirrel?

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Meet me? Please? Here?

Speaker 4 (17:07):
In the human resources tempt.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Troy, I suggest you get a neck beard. I do
believe these things very well could disappear if in fact,
you adjusted your appearance accordingly.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
Matt, you love this Cameron Brink story, don't you do?

Speaker 3 (17:28):
You like to eat?

Speaker 2 (17:29):
I just like podcast news. I like people doing podcasts
that create news stories that everybody reports on Cambrink podcasts.
Cringey comments people are not from fellow athletes, not from
the male opponents that have been scheduled for their practices,
but by commenters on social media. Is what she said.

(17:51):
We're cringey.

Speaker 8 (17:51):
I guess my confession is I'm really picked out by
the potential new practice players. Wait what, I haven't seen
the post. Can you give me an example. It's basically
just like a flyer's like Mederica, Rikia and Kelsey, and
it's like male practice players wanted and usually we use
like USC college guys that also like do it for
the women's team at USC okay, and all the comments

(18:13):
are like let Cameron Brank back me down, like or
something about ta or something on Kelsey. And now I'm
just like preferadly they're gay.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
No for real, that's like the need to go through
with heavy HR training.

Speaker 8 (18:26):
Who are we trusting coming into this gym? But the
nerve to just like sit there on their phones and
be like I want to back that one, Cameron.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Those are commenters, so not the gentlemen that are going
to be planed you, I would imagine.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
I don't know why it had to be public that
they used men. It's a common practice. Why talk about
it and make it weird for people that don't know that.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, you know who doesn't make it weird?

Speaker 3 (18:49):
McNeice. No, McNeice doesn't make it.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
That's who doesn't make it weird. That's where you should
hire cam. Why do you bring in freaking McNeice.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
They just swatted that earlier, They swatted that. That look
like Kleinfeld, the lawyer from Carlitos.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Mcne bring in McNeice.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
The best thing about the NCAA tournament is the weird
looking players.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Right the old the guy who's like forty years old
and playing a rec league for Creighton. I love that guy.
He's got his wife and his kid. It's like nursing
the baby in the stand while he's going off for thirty.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
He's got an nil with aarp brother.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
The Sparks, by the Way responded with a statement to
TMZ Sports quote, we are committed to fostering a safe
and respectful environment for all our players who want to
emphasize the player safety and man's top priority. Additionally, any
player selected for the practice squad will undergo a thorough
background check process to ensure the safety and well being
of our athletes. Yes, that's what the plan always was,

(19:51):
Cam not commenters on freaking Instagram and TikTok ew Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
I'm picked out. I helped the gay Ah shut up.
All right, we'll be right back with the dead and
a live guy. Birthday of the Day and we're talking.
Thanks for listening, everybody. Great to be back on the
air with a relatively full show. But this will be

(20:22):
our last segment because u c l A needs to
have a proper half hour pregame.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
Show in case of game yeah, case the game starts
on time? Rick, is that right? Yeah? Dare you? That's
Tim Neverritt.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
I know, I know. I'm just saying he had a glove.
It's a keeps thinking that in my.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Mind, and he had a glove. It just that's tough
to beat, you know.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
And yeah, that is a tough is Rick Monday? You
flash the leather in the outfield for a career, you're
known for man in a vast swath of green and
you a guy gets celebrated for picking a foul ball
in the stands. You bet your ass. I'm gonna make
sure you know.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
And he hit a glove.

Speaker 5 (21:06):
Good on Rick too, calling it a glove, not a
mit to Catcher's mitt. It's a glove for everybody else
on the field.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
Good for Rick.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
The wall is spoken. How about that? The wall has spoken?
Now what is the uh what is the uh snit

guy's hat and trying to honor his brother or something.

Speaker 3 (21:40):

Oh yeah, who was that? Who was that reliever? Fernando Rodney?

Speaker 3 (21:44):
There you go? What's up with stupid crooked?

Speaker 4 (21:48):
It's a tribute to a dead family member. And that's
how he used to and he had a glove. U

six twenty five is the alleged time of.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Tip Is that right? It is?

Speaker 4 (22:09):
And well, you know these things usually run a little late,
but we're we're gonna be here on the Petrosten Muddy Show.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Just for a few more minutes.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
Yes, and good night and Buenos no chest Because Mick
Cronin has taking on the Aggies in Lexington in a
matter of moments. And I'll tell you, man, it's been
an exciting day, tournament actioning.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
I mean today's you know, three quarters of the way done, coach.
I mean I watched McNeese.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
McNeice, oh, and the Pastner calling a twelve five upset
for a team that was an eight and a half
point dog. And then Clark Kellogg joins us yesterday and
says he's got Clemson in the National Championship game losing
to Florida freaking Pastner. With the McNee analysis on Monday,

(23:00):
it was a choose your own adventure pee which analyst
do you want to take their worth?

Speaker 3 (23:05):
It really was. It was a pick your fighter.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Right McNeice, Pastner, Clemson, Kellogg.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
And and and there was only one of us, not Ronnie,
not Kate's not you. I hate to have to toot
my own horn here, but I did send the McNeese
hype video last night to the text chain.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
That's true story you did. Since Pastner joined us, McNeice
has been you. You love the cowboys. You have been
all cowboys all day, every day.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
The only reason I know about McNeice is years ago
in the Pac ten days, there's a terrible hurricane in
Louisiana and McNeice had to cancel their trip to Oregon State.
And Oregon State was good that year and had one
last victory in a pack ten rays.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
Because McNeese McNeice.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
So McNeese after Thanksgiving had to drag their ass to.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Corvallis to get their ball stopped.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
Cowboys had to take their ass whooping. So I knew
it was the Cowboys, and then I think they had
a game years just you know, just remember him from
the Cupcake week in football, but it's great to see
him in basketball being dominant on the floor.

Speaker 9 (24:24):
Mcdee ride, a cowboy ride, that app McNeice.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
We knew there'd be one. We said there's gonna be one.
There will be the George Mason, there will be a
VCU and this year it's McNeice, McNee I love McNees.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
All Right, we're gonna move on.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yes, you mentioned UCLA Utah, say tomorrow we'll have Clipper basketball.
So a three to thirty show and then Sunday the
Dodgers return, Well they've already returned. They're here. They're trying
to get over their jet lag. But the Freeway Series
begins at Dodger Stadium on Sunday. You'll get Dodgers on
deck at four, first pitch at five, and then they'll
play two at the Big A Monday and Tuesday, and

(25:15):
then the twenty seventh. We are in full swing. Dodgers
twenty twenty five regular season continues. Is they chase perfection
one sixty two and zero already two and zero.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
And of course, any of our listeners in Lake Charles
out there were Mcneese's day Louisiana drop us a line
about John McNeese in his great university. All right, Matt,
you got the dead guy. Birthday of the day, I
believe today well.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
An easy one for us p As you know, I
don't say it ironically. I mean it sincerely. My number
one all time favorite film that I will watch anytime
it is on cable streaming in an airport wherever I
may be smoking the bandit And a big part of

(26:06):
that isn't necessarily Burt Reynolds, the glorious ass of Sally Field.
It's very square, the hihilarity of Jackie Gleason saying, boy,
when I get home, I'm gonna punch your mama. In
the mouth because that's my kind of comedy. And the
Sun is our Tarzan exactly. Yeah, and a great usc

(26:27):
football player. But it's mostly because of Jerry reads Snowman.
I love Snowman, I love Kletis because without him there
is no bandit. Without a tractor trailer leading away paving
that path for the bandit, there is no bandit.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
So the bandit tried to pull out, Matt you remember
the bandit tried to pull out. You know, he said, no,
it's not gonna work. And the Snowman is the one
that kept it gone. Plus you know who's gonna haul
the beer? If there's no beer? You know, what's the point.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Having me come up this course? Gotta make all this money?
Beggy lil Enos are waiting. He was born in Atlanta.
He was raised in Atlanta, but said, as a young man,
small child, a wee lad, I'm going to Nashville and
I'm gonna be a star. His parents were separated and
he ended up getting just kind of kicked around a

(27:19):
bunch of foster homes and orphanages. But he was reunited
with his mother and his then stepfather when he was
about ten years old, and they were able to raise him,
went to school Atlanta City, and he was already writing,
was already singing, learned to play a guitar while he
was in those foster homes, and at the young age

(27:40):
of eighteen, he was signed by famous publisher and record
producer in those parts, Bill Lowry, and his first record,
If the Good Lord's Willing and the Creek Don't Rise,
was a huge hit. So Capitol Records comes in. They
begin to promote him, and he's a really, really really
good guitar player. Yeah right, Like he was like an

(28:02):
animal on the guitar, super accomplished, and so he gets
this like sort of teenage, good looking, young kid sensation
through the fifties. He's got his own i should say
through the yeah, late fifties into the early sixties, kind
of has his own sound. And next thing you know,
he gets married, has a couple kids, becomes a member

(28:26):
of kind of the billboard young and hot sort of cruise.
So everything he pumps out is making its way under
the hot. One hundred US Army comes calling and he answers,
serves two years and then finally makes good on that
I'm gonna move to Nashville proclamation when he's about twenty
five years old after he gets out, and that's kind

(28:49):
of where his songwriting career took off. Country chart self
penned guitar man Elvis Presley would cover it. I think
that tends to do good things for you.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
A look at you.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
I'm gonna go ahead and cover this, thank you. Nineteen
seventies had a big crossover hit Amos Moses, which kind
of did everything on rock on country and ended up
going top ten on the pop charts. And for Reid,
that solo record when You're Hot, You're Hot went to
number nine on the pop charts, number six on our

(29:23):
favorite chart Pee. Everybody knows petros and Money Show is
your easy listening show of record.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
We are, There's no doubt about it. Ambrosia's playing the
Norris Theater on Top of the Hill this month.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Matters there. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
I will see you there if m brav you know
what My one of my life statements is if Ambrosia
is playing where we meet, where we.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Pre game, I said, am I going to go to this? Yes?
You are?

Speaker 4 (29:46):
I mean I already regret missing the art Garfunckle like
fifteen years ago.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
You're not gonna regret missing Ambrosia because We're going easy listening.
Show of record went to number six on the Easy
Listening chart, sold over a million copies, and also had
his version of Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town,
which became another huge hit. So basically, Jerry Reid is
kind of a big time force in the world of music.

(30:10):
Next thing you know, he's featured in animated form on
freaking Scooby Doo. Like that's not incredible.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
That to me, it is right up there with Mama
Casts above the Globetrotters.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Episode right good call. It didn't start with Smoking in
the Bandit, by the way, with Bert the pair, they
were very close friends, and they were in the film
WW and the Dixie dance Kings continued doing the music thing,
continued pumping out hits. But then basically anytime Bert called,
he answered. So next thing you know, Bert becomes a

(30:45):
huge star. Gator hot stuff. Let's talk about ga and
guess who's right there with him, freaking Jerry Reid. They're
a tandem. I love that Gator Smoking the Bandit, of course.
Nineteen seventy seven, put E spounded down at the number
two spot on the Hot one one hundred a real star.
Jerry Reid Great Dude, was married to country singer Priscilla

(31:06):
Mitchell I mentioned the two daughters passed away in two
thousand and eight. He liked to smoke, had emphasiy he
was seventy one years old, heavy, heavy cigarette smoker. His
first single was well Gentleman by the name of Tom Bresh,
very close friend of Jerry's had a song called Jerry

(31:30):
Read Another Puff. So here's that yes, And of course
later in his life he would share the dangers in
the form of public service videos on the dangers of
smoking cigarettes, which ultimately took his life. But Jerry Reid, Superstar,
Great Dude, Eastbounded Down listened to his music.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
The three that we played were I think Eastbound and Down,
we played Amos Moses, and we played Ruby Don't Take
Your Love to Town. I wish we would have played
his homage to Kawhi Leonard the Claw.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
But well, kids, go seek, go find and check him
out in the New Adventures of Scooby Do as well
and Mike.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Henry is the name of our Tarzan barkunas the guy
who fights Barkuna down in our Tarzan movie. One of
our favorite The River of death or whatever it's called.
That we really got into last year, the year I
am I.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Am the one ruler of all the jungle. Yeah, that
is the blood of.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
The jaguar, the blood of the jaguar.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
Mike Henry plays the son who Sally Field leaves at
the altar. Junior, Yeah, junior Mike Henry from UH I
think I think he went to Bell Gardens High and
he played at sc and in the NFL and he
was tarzan and junior. All right, Matt beating out one

(32:53):
of the guys from Franz Ferdinand is love that guy.
I know all of them right, this far is out
of control. There's a theatrical element to well, yes, indeed,
David Foster, but not that one.

Speaker 6 (33:12):
Australia Newsday, it's Kip and this is Petros and Money's Australian.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
News sixty eight years old today Australian wood chopper and
believe it or not, David Foster.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Is Australia's most successful athlete.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
How much wood could a wood chopper chop of wood
chopper could chop? Would?

Speaker 4 (33:40):
Well, I'm gonna tell you he is their most successful
athlete ever, winning the World wood Chopping Championship for twenty
one straight years. First it was him and his father
Pop George Foster. They were both double handed saw gods,

(34:02):
and him and his brother Peter won ten years running
after that, So you'd.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
I can envision that that's the two man giants saw right,
And we're just gonna trim off these discs from this
hour tree.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
Me and you are pumping, we're gonna check it off.
So it's eleven years he won with the dad, plus
the ten years he won with Peter Teta.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
Him and Peter.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
Lost in two thousand, so it seems as if David
then fired his brother Peter and brought in his son
and they won one more.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
He has a famous.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
Famous mustache, looks like an extremely frightening Australian person. In fact,
he's a Tasmanian from the island of Tasmania, which is
like Catalina Island for Australia.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
I know we've said it before, but always wildly disappointing.
When you go to see the Tasmanian Devil at the
zoo as a child in the era in which we
grew up with the Tasmanian double cartoon, you're like, wait
a minute.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
Yeah, you really think this is you really think the
thing is going to be a totally different vine.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
It's just a little rodent that's like hiding under a rock.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
That thing does not have a tornado for a bottle.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
This is not cool.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
This guy was Australian Axeman of the Year nine times in.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
A row, nine times chopping wood.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
He was the Tasmanian of the Year in ninety five.
He is in the Sport Australia Hall of Fame. This
guy put an axe to you like Rodney puts his
glove on the ball in the stands in East Asia.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
Complimentary glove. And he had a glove. And he had
a glove. I know, I know't is that right?

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yes, yes, that's right. He did have a glove. Grown man, Well,
complimentary glove, Matt, and he had a glove. Don't have
to qualify it, just saying all right, grown man with
a glove. All right, I'm sorry. I mean, look, I
assume you've been to a game where they've placed the

(36:28):
rally towel on the seat and you don't grab it
and start waving it over your head chanting defense from
the stands, do you.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
Well, personally, no, exactly, just because.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
They leave you the glove doesn't mean you have to
put it on and be the grown man.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
And he had a glove.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
I mean you hear the disdain in Rick Monday's voice,
and he had a glove.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Perhaps.

Speaker 4 (36:59):
Anyway, back to David Fawster, Yeah, he and his wife Jan,
me and my lass operated the Australian Axeman's Hall of
Fame and Latrobe Tasmania not exactly a white lightweight place.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
Certainly a white place.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Mm like Pennsylvania with that rolling rock.

Speaker 4 (37:15):
Yeah, but Latrobe, I got a giant can of rolling rock.
I don't know why I did it, Tim Keats, but
no Latrobe Tasmania. They did that for a couple of years.
But Jan got sick. He's he's in Tasmania still as
a spokesman for Elderly Care. Give him the acts. David Foster, beautiful.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Wasn't that worth celebrating? Jerry Reid. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
Now I'm gonna probably go home and upset my wife
by watching Smoking the Bandit again place planted, and I
just have to act that I can't help myself.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
Play the claw.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
And and know that Mike Henry, if he got his
hands on any of those people would have killed him
all like he killed Barkuna.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Enjoy the game. Everybody. U c l a utah stak
a barca. Barkuna will appear

Speaker 9 (38:17):
That I am the one ruler all the the
