You know, I got a word of the day for you, everybody.
I know you're excited his words, the word of the day.
I know you're really excited about all those Pittsburghers here
in the LA area. So Dave damashek was here on Monday,
or real Pittsburgh. He can't call him a Pittsburgh and
he'll use his shipwrecked voice to admonish you.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
No, it's a Pittsburgh, not a Pittsburgh, It's a Pittsburgher.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
So all the Pittsburghers are in town because the Bucos,
the Buccaneers are not. Not these Steelers and Aaron Rodgers
and the dalliance that they're having, but the Buccaneers, the
Pittsburgh Pirates are in town. And Paul Skans, like you
keep saying, Matt One, he's going to pitch tomorrow, but tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
What's his girl's name, Livy Done, Livy Doune. Yeah, right
off the top of my eye, because what's his name?
Had the guy that Georgia track, Carson Beck was dating
the Cavender, the Cavendish, Cavendish, the double Cavendish.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
One of them was seen well, yeah him, friends laid
there with my legs in the air.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
But it's still I like it.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
So that is uh the big news. Matt Pirates, Buccos, Buckos,
Angels tonight right six thirty. Yeah, been in town. But
did you hear what happened last night? Last night, Tommy Fam,
the volatile player in the outfield, slapped Jock Peterson over
a fantasy football debate. Jock Peterson's answer, violence is never
(04:53):
the answer, taking the high road, showing courage by not
slapping Tommy Fam back.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
So he's a guy that got stabbed multiple times.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Tommy Fam gets slapped by a fan when he's catching
a foul ball or grabbing a grabbing a ground ball
or a hit to the outfield, looks back at the
fan is on camera and does this. He lets, yeah,
he didn't grab his crotch, but he did this. That's
(05:23):
my favorite obscene gesture and it was caught on camera
on the fan Bill Sports Network.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Let's hear it. Ronnie's got it right.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
The first hit for the Angels, traps done was on
his way to second base. I was thirteen in year
row retired by he he as a fan that kind
of brushed up against Tommy Fan.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
I want to see fans reaction from the area here,
and you don't want to see that.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Contact me with a player.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Game in Houston where that fan ripped the ball to
Mike Trout's glove and the fan.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Weather that's Tommy Fan.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Then see he says hello to the.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
I am a horrible for the day.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Everybody this is let him know.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
City are number of the day is four or five
back to back games. The Kings score six second straight
game that are up to nothing, something they never were
before in the three previous series against Edmonton. I hate
those oilers, but I love watching those oilers. And the
Oilers now face the needing to win. As a hockey purist,
(07:25):
I'm purest I love I love watching Connor McDavid play,
but god, I hate him so much. The Oilers need
to win four or five to knock out the Kings.
Could they do it, sure, But the way these Kings
are playing Pete last night, first playoff goal for Brant Clark,
a child twenty two years old, looks like he's seventeen,
(07:46):
and he got the scoring started. Dustin freaking McDavid dry
sidle Oilers. We got a Russian Kuzmenko. I like this
guy too, stud In the KHL just came over here
in twenty two. Kings are his fourth team and three seasons,
and he the Ruski has been on fire in the playoffs.
Two goals, three assists, kempe seven points after his monster night,
(08:11):
they were He was their twenty fourteen first drum pick.
Copaitar is thirty seven, thirty seven. Everybody paying attention to
Lebron James over there with the Lakers. How about freaking
anje Copatara thirty seven years old with five points. Dowdy
is thirty five, and he's second in ice time with
twenty four minutes. Quinton Buyfield, everybody called him a bus
the number two overall pick.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
He's only twenty two.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
They so are, he's only twenty two. What are you
gonna put on him now? He looks fifty in the face.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Okay, well it's hockey.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
But he's only twenty two. Uh fialla. The big trade
they made with Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
This is such good.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Oh, it's a funny team. It's a fun team. Man,
it's a team, and it's fun team.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
They know how to treat a woman.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
We're just having fun. That's right, they do not.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
We're the Kings team.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, exactly right. Uh four or five, there's your hockey talk.
People excited about the hockey. It's playoff time. It's when
we start getting excited about the puck. And the Kings
have stormed out to a two zero lead against a
squad that was in Game seven of the Stanley Cup
Finals last year, but couldn't finish off. The Panthers very
(09:16):
excited about these Los Angeles Kings and what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Why would they charge me a service fee?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Isn't it the bit? That's what I mean. It's like
pay this right now. And then it's like, oh, and
we're going to charge an extra three fifty Like isn't
sixty bucks enough for this? BS?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Like, who the hell do they think we are baggage hunters?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
How much is the service fee? Three fifty three bucks? Yeah,
it's like sixty is not enough?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Like an ATM at the weed Star.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Okay, but cash only But this, that, by the way,
is an issue. I have the cash only.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
At the weed store. Yes, the weed Star told me though.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
They were like, look, and they've had like five different
credit card services, right, they keep the credit credit card service,
keep canceling.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
They won't do it, so then I have to go
back to CA. Yeah. I guess that makes sense. But
it's like, just just do the debit card. I get it.
You don't want to pay the credit card fee because
it costs you money for the transaction, So just let
me do the debit well, debit card.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
I mean, let's say you're selling pizzas in Sampedro, but
you don't want the fence to know how many pizzas
you're selling. Right, cash only.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Bro right, understand that it's just we don't live in
a cash society anymore. Sadly now, I still like to
carry cash. Makes you feel good, that's.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
What that's your You were inspired by the cover of
the Warrant album Dirty Roddy Rotten, filthy, stinking rich. Looking up, kids,
look up Warrant, Dirty rotten, filthy, stinking rich. That is
Matt money Smith's likeness for me. It's scar tissue federalis.
I've always got to make sure I've got enough cash
on me just in case.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Is there a fine? Can we pay here?
Speaker 2 (10:50):

story of the day.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Well, Matt, today is Draft Day, and Matt, we will
lose our own special draft coverage the five o'clock hour,
powered by the lightning bolt head of the Voice of
the Bolt and Dog Draft knowledge that Matt has peddled
for at least a decade like a purposeful Peloton rider.
And aside from all the Shadeur Sanders hater ration and
(14:19):
the colorful suits and Ashton Genti's crocs and the anxiety
of Raider nation, Matt and I Petrosen Silver and Black
are Petroson Money Show will be long gone on AM
Radio and the app by the time the Bolts pick

Speaker 2 (14:58):
From here to the Bolt, you're gonna go? I believe
they need this tonight. We're doing the podcast live immediately
after Joe Harties Presser tomorrow. I believe we're doing it
remotely the hort Tesser exactly. That's what they call it.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Anyway, football and its coverage has changed a great deal
since Matt and I started this show in the year
two thousand and seven, and because it was such a
nostalgia play yesterday was Steve Hartman and My Trip to
the Commissary. Earlier today and since football in seven, which
(15:34):
is when Matt and I started the show, some would
say that some of the changes in pro and college
football have not been.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
For the better.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
What yes, However, there was one thing to appreciate that
I found today, and to think about the old adage,
the more things change, the more they remain the same.
I saw a photo today of Andrew Luck, who is
the GNA of Stanford football. We love Stanford football here
(16:03):
because they use all Right Now by the band Free
as their fight song. There's not a crunchier groove in
all of college football. And as you know, Andrew Luck
is the GM on the farm. He's taken over. He
had to fire Troy Taylor for naughty language.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Didn't want to do it, but I got to Troy.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
He has Frank Reich one of his old coaches from
Indianapolis is the interim just for the year. Anyway, I
saw a photo of Andrew Luck in a polo and
Khakis taking snaps and running around at quarterback for Stanford
spring ball leading people being awesome. Andrew Luck all pro
(16:48):
quarterback in the huddle with a bunch of Stanford football players,
and I could not help. And I try not to
do this too much, but I could not help. But remember,
and you know this story, Matt back in two thousand
and seven, I was invited because I knew him from
a USD. I was at Jim Harbaugh's very first training
(17:09):
camp on the farm, and no one knew the greatness.
Of course, everybody knew who Jim Harbaugh was, but nobody
knew the greatness and the turnaround that was coming for
Stanford football, for the forty nine ers, for Michigan and
all of the in the Chargers. No one knew all
of this stuff was coming. We were maybe you and
I seven months into doing our show, and I was
(17:34):
up on the farm visiting the camp as part of
my PAC ten Game of the Week duties. And Jim Harbaugh,
as I told you many times, was doing just that
that many years, eighteen years ago, taking all the snaps,
sweating through his khakis, ass sweat everywhere, pushing his team
(17:56):
like a wild dog, doing drills. Luck's doing this, but
doing drills that you wouldn't do with a high school
football team in full pads because of the impact. But
he was What he was doing was reshaping Stanford football
and one of the most amazing jobs. Along with what
Gary Barnett did at Northwestern, this more sustained one of
(18:16):
the most amazing jobs I've seen anybody do in the
history of college football. And it gave me a heartening
feeling that though much has changed, much has also remained
the same. Made me feel a little more stable because
it was a young captain, Andrew Luck in two thousand
and seven, who was standing on the sideline as a
(18:40):
red shirt quarterback looking on eighteen years ago at that
very same camp with Jim Harbaugh under center, and here's
Andrew Luck doing the same thing that his head coach
was doing eighteen years later at Stanford. Much has changed,
but for me at least, it was really cool, and
(19:03):
you know, because of our show starting in two thousand
and seven, it was interesting. It was really cool to
see something familiar in a world of new school college
football vibes. And since two thousand and seven, what do
you know, Matt and I are still on the air,
which is pretty good, And lots has changed. Harbaugh has
become a legendary head coach at the college at NFL level.
(19:25):
Luck had a career, was too smart to continue it.
Now he's at Stanford, and Stanford is still a place
for intellectual elitism. But I was satisfied, Matt, when I
saw that photo of Andrew Luck, who's always been really
nice to me and very engaging over the years calling
(19:46):
the Stanford games and watching his career develop. It was
really cool to see him back at Stanford. Not that
I will ever be invited again, never know. Well, ACC
kind of boxes me out at point, no ESPN, no
reason for me to be there, but I was heartened
to see me fo forgetting that Stanford is in the ACC,
(20:07):
the Atlantic Coast Conference. Well, that's why I keep sayingologies
A lot has changed. Yes, there's been nobody calls me
and invites me to camp for an ACC team anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Even though they're on the West Coast sniffing the Pacific
right for the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
But it's always been an Atlantic vibe. I mean, and
the Atlantic is a very popular paper. I do enjoy it,
uh doing one doing what I saw Harbod do right
in front of him back in Petros and Money Year
one was pretty cool to see Andrew Luck doing that.
So a little perspective on that. A lot of these
guys being drafted were like six years old back in
(20:45):
two thousand and seven on that day Petros and Money
Year one, like Batman Year one or Batman Year two
versus the Reaper. But remember, all you young coaches out there,
unless you have quarterback experience, don't do it. I don't
want you in your polo with your ball sweats on
(21:05):
your khakis, showing everybody what it's like to be You
got to be a quarterback and you've got to be
enough of a quarterback to where the other ten guys
in the huddle have a little bit of a chubby
that you're calling play.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
So where do you come out on? Pete Carroll throwing
that ball around. Not a quarterback, but he likes to
get in there. He likes to throw it around. You
saw him. You know, they get to start early with
the Raiders. He had the gloves on, he's patting the ball,
he's slinging it.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
I will answer your question because I know I feel
like I know all three men well enough. Yeah, to
make this distinction. I truly believe that when I was
out there watching Harbad do it in front of nobody,
and out there watching Luck or seeing Luck do it,
and knowing his personality, that this was not a grand
(21:50):
standing issue. This was You asked me that this was
something that the guy was doing for the benefit of
his football team and to help them galvanized as a group.
When I see Pete Carroll throwing the football, doing it
only for the media, mostly usually before the team even
comes out, and has created this whole mythology about Peter
(22:12):
Pan and the forever young and bouncing around out there, Yeah,
it's not for that. I think that's much more about
Pete Carroll and his own ego and his own self
aggrandizement than it is actually, how much fun this guy's
having then pushing his football. Look, how much fun this
guy's have and he loves coaching football. Not that he
(22:34):
can't coach or teach or do these things, there's no
doubt about it. But you asked me about the particular
the physical display. I think in Luck's case, and I
know in Harbaugh's case, was an unselfish kind of what
he thought was best for the team in that moment.
And with Pete, I think it was what he thought
(22:55):
was cool that people are going to think is really cool.
Because I'm Pete Carroll. This is going to go viral
every moment. People are gonna love this.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Win forever, chin forever.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Just give me. I'm a bike cruising the strand check
this out. I'm loving it.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Here and I'll never forget. We were there and Harbaugh
pulled me aside and said, that's Andrew Luck. He will
not play this year. He's the number one quarterback in
the country. And I said, well, why won't you play him?
He says, we can't protect him with this team, And
he did just that. He redshirted that guy. Prichard gonna
get his head none ta Vita. Pritchard did get his
(23:29):
head none, get his head knocked off. He was out
there too, with his dirdy with his long nerdy hair coming.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Out the back.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I'm sorry that you're going to get destroyed back here,
but I cannot put Andrew.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Very interesting stuff from way I don't tell a lot
of old football stories unless I feel like they're relevant
to today, and I felt like that one was relevant
to today. Check it out, Matt is John Lennon playing
the draft. We'll be right back. What's he doing? Oh yoko?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I believe he's doing the national anthem?
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Oh okay. We'll be right.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Back with more great sports thuff. We're fifteen minutes away
from the draft. We'll do the dead and a live
guy birthday the day.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Neck pet you some money NFL draft coverage mere minutes away.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Couldn't help himself.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Got to get your dead in a live guy birthday
to day here though, before we get to your NFL
draft coverage, I thought, are.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
All right, Matt, your dead guy birthday of the day.
Interesting guy, Matt, I thought about Ronnie Fossio when I
was taught. When I was looking this guy up. William
Castle from New York one hundred and eleven today, Jewish guy,
a promotions man like us with Hoffey hot dogs and
a movie directors, local screenwriter, originalat screenwriter, actor producer born
(24:48):
Bill Schlass.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
It's a good name.
Speaker 5 (24:53):

I know you're excited his words, the word of the day.
I know you're really excited about all those Pittsburghers here
in the LA area. So Dave damashek was here on Monday,
or real Pittsburgh. He can't call him a Pittsburgh and
he'll use his shipwrecked voice to admonish you.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
No, it's a Pittsburgh, not a Pittsburgh, It's a Pittsburgher.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
So all the Pittsburghers are in town because the Bucos,
the Buccaneers are not. Not these Steelers and Aaron Rodgers
and the dalliance that they're having, but the Buccaneers, the
Pittsburgh Pirates are in town. And Paul Skans, like you
keep saying, Matt One, he's going to pitch tomorrow, but tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
What's his girl's name, Livy Done, Livy Doune. Yeah, right
off the top of my eye, because what's his name?
Had the guy that Georgia track, Carson Beck was dating
the Cavender, the Cavendish, Cavendish, the double Cavendish.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
One of them was seen well, yeah him, friends laid
there with my legs in the air.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
But it's still I like it.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
So that is uh the big news. Matt Pirates, Buccos, Buckos,
Angels tonight right six thirty. Yeah, been in town. But
did you hear what happened last night? Last night, Tommy Fam,
the volatile player in the outfield, slapped Jock Peterson over
a fantasy football debate. Jock Peterson's answer, violence is never
(04:53):
the answer, taking the high road, showing courage by not
slapping Tommy Fam back.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
So he's a guy that got stabbed multiple times.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Tommy Fam gets slapped by a fan when he's catching
a foul ball or grabbing a grabbing a ground ball
or a hit to the outfield, looks back at the
fan is on camera and does this. He lets, yeah,
he didn't grab his crotch, but he did this. That's
(05:23):
my favorite obscene gesture and it was caught on camera
on the fan Bill Sports Network.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Let's hear it. Ronnie's got it right.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
The first hit for the Angels, traps done was on
his way to second base. I was thirteen in year
row retired by he he as a fan that kind
of brushed up against Tommy Fan.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
I want to see fans reaction from the area here,
and you don't want to see that.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Contact me with a player.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Game in Houston where that fan ripped the ball to
Mike Trout's glove and the fan.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Weather that's Tommy Fan.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Then see he says hello to the.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Crowd, says hello to the crowd. No more wanky my yankee.
The dog needs food. Guys, you gotta stop referencing those
old ass movie.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Can't stop, won't stop. He's just saying hi to the crowd.
Speaker 5 (06:17):

imaginary puts him all around on some Angels fan. Tommy
Fam coming to Dodger Stadium for a big matchup tomorrow tonight,
Angels one game under five hundred matt fourth place in
the Al West. After all that fun.
Speaker 2 (06:34):

You're terrible.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I am a horrible for the day.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Everybody this is let him know.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
City are number of the day is four or five
back to back games. The Kings score six second straight
game that are up to nothing, something they never were
before in the three previous series against Edmonton. I hate
those oilers, but I love watching those oilers. And the
Oilers now face the needing to win. As a hockey purist,
(07:25):
I'm purest I love I love watching Connor McDavid play,
but god, I hate him so much. The Oilers need
to win four or five to knock out the Kings.
Could they do it, sure, But the way these Kings
are playing Pete last night, first playoff goal for Brant Clark,
a child twenty two years old, looks like he's seventeen,
(07:46):
and he got the scoring started. Dustin freaking McDavid dry
sidle Oilers. We got a Russian Kuzmenko. I like this
guy too, stud In the KHL just came over here
in twenty two. Kings are his fourth team and three seasons,
and he the Ruski has been on fire in the playoffs.
Two goals, three assists, kempe seven points after his monster night,
(08:11):
they were He was their twenty fourteen first drum pick.
Copaitar is thirty seven, thirty seven. Everybody paying attention to
Lebron James over there with the Lakers. How about freaking
anje Copatara thirty seven years old with five points. Dowdy
is thirty five, and he's second in ice time with
twenty four minutes. Quinton Buyfield, everybody called him a bus
the number two overall pick.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
He's only twenty two.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
They so are, he's only twenty two. What are you
gonna put on him now? He looks fifty in the face.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Okay, well it's hockey.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
But he's only twenty two. Uh fialla. The big trade
they made with Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
This is such good.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Oh, it's a funny team. It's a fun team. Man,
it's a team, and it's fun team.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
They know how to treat a woman.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
We're just having fun. That's right, they do not.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
We're the Kings team.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, exactly right. Uh four or five, there's your hockey talk.
People excited about the hockey. It's playoff time. It's when
we start getting excited about the puck. And the Kings
have stormed out to a two zero lead against a
squad that was in Game seven of the Stanley Cup
Finals last year, but couldn't finish off. The Panthers very
(09:16):
excited about these Los Angeles Kings and what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Why would they charge me a service fee?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Isn't it the bit? That's what I mean. It's like
pay this right now. And then it's like, oh, and
we're going to charge an extra three fifty Like isn't
sixty bucks enough for this? BS?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Like, who the hell do they think we are baggage hunters?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
How much is the service fee? Three fifty three bucks? Yeah,
it's like sixty is not enough?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Like an ATM at the weed Star.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Okay, but cash only But this, that, by the way,
is an issue. I have the cash only.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
At the weed store. Yes, the weed Star told me though.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
They were like, look, and they've had like five different
credit card services, right, they keep the credit credit card service,
keep canceling.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
They won't do it, so then I have to go
back to CA. Yeah. I guess that makes sense. But
it's like, just just do the debit card. I get it.
You don't want to pay the credit card fee because
it costs you money for the transaction, So just let
me do the debit well, debit card.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
I mean, let's say you're selling pizzas in Sampedro, but
you don't want the fence to know how many pizzas
you're selling. Right, cash only.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Bro right, understand that it's just we don't live in
a cash society anymore. Sadly now, I still like to
carry cash. Makes you feel good, that's.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
What that's your You were inspired by the cover of
the Warrant album Dirty Roddy Rotten, filthy, stinking rich. Looking up, kids,
look up Warrant, Dirty rotten, filthy, stinking rich. That is
Matt money Smith's likeness for me. It's scar tissue federalis.
I've always got to make sure I've got enough cash
on me just in case.

lose our own special draft coverage the five o'clock hour,
powered by the lightning bolt head of the Voice of
the Bolt and Dog Draft knowledge that Matt has peddled

From here to the Bolt, you're gonna go? I believe
they need this tonight. We're doing the podcast live immediately
after Joe Harties Presser tomorrow. I believe we're doing it
remotely the hort Tesser exactly. That's what they call it.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Anyway, football and its coverage has changed a great deal
since Matt and I started this show in the year
two thousand and seven, and because it was such a
nostalgia play yesterday was Steve Hartman and My Trip to
the Commissary. Earlier today and since football in seven, which
(15:34):
is when Matt and I started the show, some would
say that some of the changes in pro and college
football have not been.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
For the better.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
What yes, However, there was one thing to appreciate that
I found today, and to think about the old adage,
the more things change, the more they remain the same.
I saw a photo today of Andrew Luck, who is
the GNA of Stanford football. We love Stanford football here
(16:03):
because they use all Right Now by the band Free
as their fight song. There's not a crunchier groove in
all of college football. And as you know, Andrew Luck
is the GM on the farm. He's taken over. He
had to fire Troy Taylor for naughty language.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Didn't want to do it, but I got to Troy.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
He has Frank Reich one of his old coaches from
Indianapolis is the interim just for the year. Anyway, I
saw a photo of Andrew Luck in a polo and
Khakis taking snaps and running around at quarterback for Stanford
spring ball leading people being awesome. Andrew Luck all pro
(16:48):
quarterback in the huddle with a bunch of Stanford football players,
and I could not help. And I try not to
do this too much, but I could not help. But remember,
and you know this story, Matt back in two thousand
and seven, I was invited because I knew him from
a USD. I was at Jim Harbaugh's very first training
(17:09):
camp on the farm, and no one knew the greatness.
Of course, everybody knew who Jim Harbaugh was, but nobody
knew the greatness and the turnaround that was coming for
Stanford football, for the forty nine ers, for Michigan and
all of the in the Chargers. No one knew all
of this stuff was coming. We were maybe you and
I seven months into doing our show, and I was
(17:34):
up on the farm visiting the camp as part of
my PAC ten Game of the Week duties. And Jim Harbaugh,
as I told you many times, was doing just that
that many years, eighteen years ago, taking all the snaps,
sweating through his khakis, ass sweat everywhere, pushing his team
(17:56):
like a wild dog, doing drills. Luck's doing this, but
doing drills that you wouldn't do with a high school
football team in full pads because of the impact. But
he was What he was doing was reshaping Stanford football
and one of the most amazing jobs. Along with what
Gary Barnett did at Northwestern, this more sustained one of
(18:16):
the most amazing jobs I've seen anybody do in the
history of college football. And it gave me a heartening
feeling that though much has changed, much has also remained
the same. Made me feel a little more stable because
it was a young captain, Andrew Luck in two thousand
and seven, who was standing on the sideline as a
(18:40):
red shirt quarterback looking on eighteen years ago at that
very same camp with Jim Harbaugh under center, and here's
Andrew Luck doing the same thing that his head coach
was doing eighteen years later at Stanford. Much has changed,
but for me at least, it was really cool, and
(19:03):
you know, because of our show starting in two thousand
and seven, it was interesting. It was really cool to
see something familiar in a world of new school college
football vibes. And since two thousand and seven, what do
you know, Matt and I are still on the air,
which is pretty good, And lots has changed. Harbaugh has
become a legendary head coach at the college at NFL level.
(19:25):
Luck had a career, was too smart to continue it.
Now he's at Stanford, and Stanford is still a place
for intellectual elitism. But I was satisfied, Matt, when I
saw that photo of Andrew Luck, who's always been really
nice to me and very engaging over the years calling
(19:46):
the Stanford games and watching his career develop. It was
really cool to see him back at Stanford. Not that
I will ever be invited again, never know. Well, ACC
kind of boxes me out at point, no ESPN, no
reason for me to be there, but I was heartened
to see me fo forgetting that Stanford is in the ACC,
(20:07):
the Atlantic Coast Conference. Well, that's why I keep sayingologies
A lot has changed. Yes, there's been nobody calls me
and invites me to camp for an ACC team anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Even though they're on the West Coast sniffing the Pacific
right for the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
But it's always been an Atlantic vibe. I mean, and
the Atlantic is a very popular paper. I do enjoy it,
uh doing one doing what I saw Harbod do right
in front of him back in Petros and Money Year
one was pretty cool to see Andrew Luck doing that.
So a little perspective on that. A lot of these
guys being drafted were like six years old back in
(20:45):
two thousand and seven on that day Petros and Money
Year one, like Batman Year one or Batman Year two
versus the Reaper. But remember, all you young coaches out there,
unless you have quarterback experience, don't do it. I don't
want you in your polo with your ball sweats on
(21:05):
your khakis, showing everybody what it's like to be You
got to be a quarterback and you've got to be
enough of a quarterback to where the other ten guys
in the huddle have a little bit of a chubby
that you're calling play.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
So where do you come out on? Pete Carroll throwing
that ball around. Not a quarterback, but he likes to
get in there. He likes to throw it around. You
saw him. You know, they get to start early with
the Raiders. He had the gloves on, he's patting the ball,
he's slinging it.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
I will answer your question because I know I feel
like I know all three men well enough. Yeah, to
make this distinction. I truly believe that when I was
out there watching Harbad do it in front of nobody,
and out there watching Luck or seeing Luck do it,
and knowing his personality, that this was not a grand
(21:50):
standing issue. This was You asked me that this was
something that the guy was doing for the benefit of
his football team and to help them galvanized as a group.
When I see Pete Carroll throwing the football, doing it
only for the media, mostly usually before the team even
comes out, and has created this whole mythology about Peter
(22:12):
Pan and the forever young and bouncing around out there, Yeah,
it's not for that. I think that's much more about
Pete Carroll and his own ego and his own self
aggrandizement than it is actually, how much fun this guy's
having then pushing his football. Look, how much fun this
guy's have and he loves coaching football. Not that he
(22:34):
can't coach or teach or do these things, there's no
doubt about it. But you asked me about the particular
the physical display. I think in Luck's case, and I
know in Harbaugh's case, was an unselfish kind of what
he thought was best for the team in that moment.
And with Pete, I think it was what he thought
(22:55):
was cool that people are going to think is really cool.
Because I'm Pete Carroll. This is going to go viral
every moment. People are gonna love this.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Win forever, chin forever.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Just give me. I'm a bike cruising the strand check
this out. I'm loving it.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Here and I'll never forget. We were there and Harbaugh
pulled me aside and said, that's Andrew Luck. He will
not play this year. He's the number one quarterback in
the country. And I said, well, why won't you play him?
He says, we can't protect him with this team, And
he did just that. He redshirted that guy. Prichard gonna
get his head none ta Vita. Pritchard did get his
(23:29):
head none, get his head knocked off. He was out
there too, with his dirdy with his long nerdy hair coming.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Out the back.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I'm sorry that you're going to get destroyed back here,
but I cannot put Andrew.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Very interesting stuff from way I don't tell a lot
of old football stories unless I feel like they're relevant
to today, and I felt like that one was relevant
to today. Check it out, Matt is John Lennon playing
the draft. We'll be right back. What's he doing? Oh yoko?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I believe he's doing the national anthem?
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Oh okay. We'll be right.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Back with more great sports thuff. We're fifteen minutes away
from the draft. We'll do the dead and a live
guy birthday the day.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Neck pet you some money NFL draft coverage mere minutes away.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Couldn't help himself.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Got to get your dead in a live guy birthday
to day here though, before we get to your NFL
draft coverage, I thought, are.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
All right, Matt, your dead guy birthday of the day.
Interesting guy, Matt, I thought about Ronnie Fossio when I
was taught. When I was looking this guy up. William
Castle from New York one hundred and eleven today, Jewish guy,
a promotions man like us with Hoffey hot dogs and
a movie directors, local screenwriter, originalat screenwriter, actor producer born
(24:48):
Bill Schlass.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
It's a good name.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Schloss means castle in German, so changed it to Castle.
William and Castle member at fifteen, he saw much Laws
Pat McAfee, who's swinging around his big Schlaw's Big Laws.
He saw Bella Legosi Starr in the Dracula play. When
he was thirteen and was a transferrer. Under the spell
of horror, he said, from then on, all he ever
(25:15):
wanted to do was scare the pants off of people.
He got Orson Wells's phone number somehow, and when Orson
Wells left to do Citizen Kane, he went to Orson
Well's theater in Connecticut, got rented it, and put on
a play. Portrayed a German actress who was starring in
this play as the girl who turned down Hitler vandalized
(25:36):
Orson's theater with swastikas himself as a publicity stunt, and
it worked. The play was a success. He went to
Hollywood to work at Columbia worked as an associate producer
on the Great Lady of Shanghai with his friend Orson
Wells Now Matt You'll like this. In the late fifties
and sixties, he made independent b horror movies with wacky promotion.
(26:00):
His first movie, he took out a Lloyd's of London
insurance policy for people who would be scared to death.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Smart Good Marketing put.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Nurses on site at the theaters for a gimmick, Love
It House on Haunted Hill, he made with Wincent Price
an all time great in the movie theater. In most theaters,
he had a floating red eyed skeleton that would raise
up in the theater at certain points and children would
throw candy boxes at it. Thirteen Ghosts nineteen sixty one,
(26:33):
three D style ghost glasses Okay nineteen sixty one, Homicidal.
Also in sixty one he had a fright break where
you could get a refund like you know, like they
stop in the middle of the movie if you take
a break if you're too frightened. They also had a
coward's corner bathed yellow light that you could go hide
(26:56):
if you got too scared. Many other gimmicks saw what
you did. In nineteen sixty five, they gave away giant
plastic telephones, but then the Bell Telephone monopoly shut him
down after a rash of prank phone calls and complaints.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
That's unfortunate.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
His dream was to direct one a a list picture,
and he bought the rights before it was even written
to Rosemary's Baby, Oh Is that right? And It was
going to be his first a feature, but the studio
insisted on Roman Polanski. They said, look, we'll let you
(27:35):
be the executive producer and we'll let you act in it.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
And he did.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
He's buried across these He's buried across the La River.
Died a nineteen seventy seven at the age of sixty three.
Lots of wacky movies and big inspiration for John Waters.
And you can see that Bob Zemechis.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Oh, thought you're gonna say, Quentin Tarantina, noois you're a
live guy. Lee Majors eighty six, What a harder right
stud Born in a suburb of Detroit. Incredibly sad childhood.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Lee major beautiful face, but haunted. His father died in
a work accident five months prior to his birth. His

an offer to try out for the Saint Louis Cardinals

there he met a bunch of Hollywood movers and shakers.
One Dick Clayton was James Dean's agent. Suggested he's a
good looking dude. You should go to acting school. He
did a year later, called Clayton. Clayton becomes his agent.
Next thing you know, he changes his name to Lee Majors.
(29:17):
Why his football hero was Johnny Majors. That's how he
came up with Lee Majors. Got to work gun smoke.
Alfred Hitchcock ends up land in the series The Big Valley,
beat out Burt Reynolds for that one Big Valley, and
another newcomer in Big Valley Linda Evans, and of course,
