You know a lot of people like to use the
power of protest to rise up against injustice or right
a wrong. And in the case of Canada nineteen forty seven,
it was children. It was a group of children, two
(03:04):
hundred of them as a matter of fact, that marched
on and protested on the Capitol building in British Columbia,
shutting down the government for a day.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Why oh, that's like Principal Joe Clark.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Right, just like Principal Joe Clark and his white children.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Will my white children stand up?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Did they freeze the bank accounts of the kids that
were running up on the capitol at BC?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I think in this case they may have just emptied
their pockets as they were protesting the rise of price
in chocolate candy bars from five to eight cents. That's
a big jump five to eight cents. These kids are like, hey,
you a a and it is known as the candy
(03:55):
bar strike.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Wow. That's uh.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
You know that's a wholesome and and good use of
protest as.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
A agent of change, Matt.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
It's a great story, great wholesome story, exactly the Great
White North.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Everyone can get behind that, right. They kids want their chocolate,
damn it.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Except for the candy maker pissed off that you know,
fair doesn't get his profit margin farmer.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
All right, Matt, it is time for your word of
the day, his words. The word of the day. You know.
Today's word of the day is thunder. Feel the thunder, thunder,
lightning and the thunder.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I enjoyed the night of hoops, Matt, at the pay
Calm Center uh in okc and at the TD Bank
North the Garden or whatever it's called now in Boston.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Even when I was dropping my kid off.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
For school this morning, one of the one of the
guys at his schools like, how.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
About my necks?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Oh yeah, the Knick fans are really today?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, wait to go they won?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yes, how about my Nicks? How about that? You see
the Nicks.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
But it's interesting, you know, the Thunder play in OKC
which is well a little bit different than a lot
of NBA towns.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
My mom mentioned that last night, She's like, where is
that team from Oklahoma City? And the players will live there?
Will they see? Think they have to mother taxes?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
You know, they gotta pay out of tax They play
at the pay Calm Center, which I don't think any
of us have been there. But it's a great crowd
NBA atmosphere, not really, it's more of.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
An nc double A style atmosphere.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Most of them are fans of the Sooners or Oki
State types and probably a lot of Dallas Cowboy fans
mixed in there as well.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Man sounds about right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
But they are loud.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I mean it's a really you can't even hear the
side the stupid unnecessary sideline interview that ruined the first
minute or two of the next quarter.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It really hurts the experience watching the game and you
can't hear that.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
You can't hear it. And look, the crowd didn't help
last night, as Aaron Gordon at an Archbishop, Mitigo, Monarchs
and San Jose broke their hearts.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
But they have a whole T shirt thing, Matt.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
You know, we've talked about this for years. The teams
that leave the T shirt on the chair, right, and
you better wear it. Yeah, you're expected to wear the
T shirt. And the people that plan out their outfit
for like seven months to go to the Laker game,
there's no way in hell they're putting on the T shirt.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
No, doesn't.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
It doesn't matter what it says in Slovene or whatever
on the shirt to support Luca, you're not putting it
on ever. But in Okay, see, if you don't put
it on. And last night was like a weird black
out style.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, that threw me off that Denver was wearing white.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
It didn't Yeah, and then Denver looked it was the
ugly uniform Olympics, but they always have a different shirt
on and last night was a blackout. But I found
it interesting that if you don't wear the shirt on
your seat in Oklahoma City, they show you on social
media and shame you, or they put you up on
(07:24):
the big screens in the venue.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Oh, they out you in the venue.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
So then you see the guys doing the different things
that we always talk about, Matt, like the guys, you know,
coming from their their job with the yeah, with their
Oxford on, and they got the shirt over that with
the collar peeking out, looking like tools stupid. There's a
bunch of those. There's a bunch. I saw a couple
of guys with the shirt and then their sport coat
(07:51):
on over the shirt, which was another kind of tool.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Iss look, I look at it as a formal event
coming to this game here. And then they all for
the oion.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
They all looked like the surrender Cobra, you know at
the end of the game when Lord shot went in.
But I thought that was interesting, and then it reminded
me of another thing I saw.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I saw like a people are.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Talking about John Elway in the news and a terrible reason,
but it was Elway at a Denver Nuggets game, pumping
up the crowd before a playoff game, and he was like.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Let's get ready to Matumbo.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
And it's it's when Elway was the quarterback in Denver,
you know, And he's standing there and I'm looking at
Lway and I'm like, damn, that's why Don Martin had
his hair.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Like that all those years.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Like the way Elway was dressed. Everything screamed don Martin.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
To me, let me tell you about what happened with John.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Just got my haircut? John. What do you think I like?
H What do you think it's like?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Single white female bum smoke? Okayse Matt a college crowd
with their heartbroken last night. This should be a great
series with Denver. It's it's fun to watch. I'm admitting that,
and I am I'm interested in seeing what happens next
with the T shirts and how they will shame people
that refuse to wear them.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I said, I can get behind that. You know what,
f you you're at a basketball game. I don't care
about your stupid outfit.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
What about this outfit plan? This outfit for mines?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah, go to the go to South Beach.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
What about my drip?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Your drip is gonna be fun, It'll survive. Put on
the stupid shirt and screamed defense when we hit the
two drums.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
All right, it's time for the number of the number,
number of the.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Day, number of the day. P is nine point four billion,
nine point four billion. Who is laughing now? Man? A punchline,
A punchline. I feel this. I don't know now. See
I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth, which
I do every day and pretty much in every conversation
I ever have a punchline of a brand for many,
(10:10):
and I think it's thanks to their misses. We don't
focus on any of their successes, but we loved the
misses who's had success. Sketchers, they did the shape ups.
Remember they did the Joe Montana. It just it kind
of pardoned the punt. It kind of stumbled out of
the gate, the Kardashian thing.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Oh Stetchers don't, don't, don't, but make no mistake, Sketchers
makes money.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Big dough nine point four billions.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
You see that big gas factory, and it's you all
us made.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Right, It's it's all local, beach beach thing.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
And then they had the big ass factory in Moreno Valley.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, right off the ninety one or the sixty exactly.
I mean, this is all local p They just signed just.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Filt a big gas store on pH where the Walgreens
used to be.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You can not deny people love Sketchers. They got old men,
They got Sugar Ray, they got Howie Sugar Ray Leonard.
As we just mentioned Sugar Ray yesterday, the band Sugar
Ray Leonard. They got Howie long the old uh. They
have the not quite old but middle aged. Like I
mentioned in Tony Romo Pushing the Brand, they got the uh.
(11:19):
The influencers from the super hip and Snoop Dogg to
the incredibly old but yet somehow still hip Martha Stewart.
I guess you go to the clink for a few
months and you're pretty hip with the kids absolutely, you know,
bobbling and bobbling all over the place, with those eight year.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Old boss that postmenopausal body.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Maybe it's the name, maybe it's the no laces, maybe
it's the incredible old people vibe. In golf, they decided
to have the most down the middle, the personality of
a paint brush, but really good golfer.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Matt Kocher, La Gear had some head Joe Montana and
Magic Johnson. How again, Carl Malone, how do you fail?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Exactly right? And then of course Clayton Kershaw very similar
to Matt Kocher, like incredibly good player, but personality wise
just kind of right down the middle.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Well, but you know Kershaw's I mean, it's not just
what he's got on his feet, it's what he's got
on his car, those hand cook tires.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Those hand cooks. Yeah. See you pitch with the sketchers
and then you get in the car. Uh. Sketchers selling
just sold yesterday to three G Capital for nine point
four billion dollars. It reminds us of an old adage
in business. It is not hard to be cool, It
is really hard to be popular. And Skechers went for
(12:44):
the middle. They went for the old. They went for
the function, not fashion.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
They took the doubles over the home runs and they
just got You mentioned it be Robert Greenberg who stepped
down as CEO of La Gear, the company he founded
in nineteen eighty two, step down as CEO in nineteen
ninety three so he could start his new company, La
based Sketchers. How the hell you run La Gear into
(13:14):
the ground in nineteen ninety three after you just launched
the Catapult and have Carl Malone and you're like, you
know what, guys, I'm out of here. I'm going to
start something new, and bang, he freaking sells it for
ten billion dollars. Because of step ups and flex tongues
and some of the most ridiculous but functional shoes.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
You know, the shoes that you shape that when you
walk around.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, the Shape Ups ten billion dollars.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Yeah, I think I met one of these guys at Beachlife.
Some of their money is Beachlife is in Beach Life
because you know, it's a local thing on there.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
That would make sense, right, Manhattan Beach and what companies
making more in sketchers?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Exactly good for sketchers. I'm still not wearing them.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Not if they sponsored you, Well, that's a horse of
a different color, man.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Come yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Mean if they want to call, you want to put
a you want to put a sketcher's tattoo on my
back permanently, like like I was boxing, you know, yes,
but then well we need to discuss that though. All right,
it's time for the dead Guy Birthday of the day
beating out.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Oh sorry, and Roder's got the song of the day.
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
A female trio from Vancouver, Canada called Cub gives us
today's song of the day, called go Fish, because the
Dodgers are in Miami getting ready to go fish for
the bottom feeding Marlins in Game two at Loan Depot Park,
and the Petros and Money Show is exercising an ultra
super flex alert where Tim Kates will take over with
(14:52):
your Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck show. That's coming right
up at two thirty.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Thank you, running.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
All right, it's side of the Dead Guy birth there
other day, beating out our hero. Orson Wells from the
Third Man and the Transformers movie is author and journalist,
gambler and sometimes near duwell Gaston Leroux.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Oh we loved the nere do Wells.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Well, that's what he was, Matt Well, not really, I
mean just he just went broke gambling and he had
to find another way to make money. He had have
been one hundred and fifty seven years old today. French
journalist and author, born in Paris in eighteen sixty eight.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
A bastard. His parents married a month afterwards after his birth.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
But that's still in those days makes you bastard. These
days it still does, but you could.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Sidestep the stigma.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Yeah, but he inherited a lot of money and spent
it wildly as a gambler and just a wild, youthful man,
and almost reached bankruptcy. So Gaston made some money as
a journalist, and he did. He was a court reporter
(16:19):
and a theater critic, which is important, the theater part. Okay,
but his most important moment as a journalist was the
Russian Revolution nineteen oh five that he covered in person.
He also was on a volcano on a volcano.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
And covered that.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Right when he got back from the Russian Revolution, he
came home and they're like, now you got to cover
this volcano eruption. He's like, but I want some time off,
and they said no. And so he started writing fiction,
detective fishing fiction, of course, and his most famous work,
as we all know, is what he's known for today.
(17:11):
The Phantom of the Opera, released as a serial in
nineteen oh nine, went into nineteen ten English translation nineteen
eleven enormous hit. Matt You're procifhus Andy Lloyd Weber, Oh
I love him? And Mike Crawford made some real bones.
(17:33):
Oh Mike at a Gaston Narolse story. In the twentieth century.
Gaston wrote many books after that.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
He had a protagonist detective that was very popular, Joseph Rutabu.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
And Charie B b Ruta b r o U l
e t t e A b I l l l
e Ruta W.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
And Chari bb a wrongly convicted prison escape ee and
many other novels all kan transcribed into many many languages
and translated. He was married twice, only married his mistress,
who he had a couple of bastards with after his
wife died. He was also involved in film production. But
(18:28):
today we remember the man behind the Masquerade, and Christine
and little Lottie who let her mind wander.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
And where in the world have you been hiding now?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
He loved Edgar Allen Paul, He loved Arthur Conan Doyle,
and he knew all about the Paris Opera House because
he was an opera critic and heard all kinds of
weird rumors about the underground of the opera and based
The Phantom of the Opera off of those rumors. Beautiful guest,
(19:08):
holl the rule, your dead guy, Birthday of the.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Day, digging the pipework and pee, well, you're a live guy.
Bergeron under the under the Opera.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I hear this pipework and I'm drawn too.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Good a live guy here, Bergeron to let the a
holes know. Guy doesn't show up on America's Funniest Home
videos like he fell into it. Okay, I like to
think he earned it. Tom bergeron, Tom bergeron not Easy
to follow Saggot that's for sure. But Bergeron did a
bang up job, and today we celebrate him for it.
It's his seventieth born in Haverhill, mass French Canadian dude.
(19:42):
He is told the tale many times, but here is
a sliver of it on local TV with his parents
sitting right next to him, about him being seventeen years
old and deciding he needed to track down and interview
his heroes, the Three Stooges in the.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Victory Country Home.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
I had, remember the little suction cup thing I had
into the tape recorder. Yeah, and my heart is beating
like a jackhammer, and I call the motion Picture Country
Home and I said, you know, is Larry fine there?
And though not with this voice, I did it with
the voice that is still changing.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
You know, the is Larry fine there?
Speaker 6 (20:19):
And the woman says, I'll get him. I mean, this
is too easy, and she says, well, actually he's playing
poker right now. Can you call back in about a
half hour And I did. Luckily they were taking a
long ride and I'd talked to Larry and there was
he had suffered a stroke. There's a little bit of
that affecting his speech, but not a lot. Still recognizable
as you know, the Larry of the Three Stooges and
(20:41):
one of the most magical questions ever asked to me
and years and years in broadcasting. At one point, because
the conversation was going well, he said, you want Moe's number.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
I was like, I'm they.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
He gave me Moe's number. I called Moe's House Talk.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
It was incredible.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
How about dad Berg, You're on at seventeen years old
talking to Moe and Larry on a freaking whim. That's
how you earn America's funniest home video. You don't get it,
you earn it.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Wow. You could be on full House and maybe break
more sets. Heart you get on.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
That way right, you could do that too. He started
out in small market radio p WHAU.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
It could be like the filthiest comedian in the world
with this strange family appeal.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Like sah, there's that too. He started out in small
market radio WHAV his hometown of Haverhill, Massachusetts. Did so
well there he was promoted to Portsmouth WHGB, New Hampshire.
A wacky DJ guy was the talk of New Hampshire.
So we jumped the TV local game show Granite State
Challenge on New Hampshire public television, and then he made
(21:52):
the jump to the big time p Boston WBC did
evening magazine in eighty four and Pardon the pun Jackpot.
He gets moved to Lottery Live. That's right, hosting the
lottery drawing every well three nights a week, and that
earned him wbz's weekend morning magazine wrap Around, directed at teenagers.
(22:17):
By the early nineties, he was a local star. Effects
FX hired him to do breakfast talk, Good Morning America
used him as a guest host. He landed Hollywood Squares
in ninety eight, won the Daytime Emmy for that in
two thousand and one, Opens Up he takes AFV America's
funnyest Own Videos. Thirteen years man on the same show.
(22:37):
That is a Golden Goose, and all he did was
follow it up with fifteen years for Dancing with the Stars.
Burgaron bergeron nine Emmy nominations, one win, threw it all.
He got to do a little TV star Trek, the
Nanny Muppets Phineas and for Mary Done Nanny Nanny got
to go out there with dressing right. Married to his
(23:00):
wife Lois since eighty two, two Daughters, Happy seventieth, he
earned it.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Berger I saw him once many years ago at the
Casa del Mar, and he was drinking, having a drink. No,
it was a very platonic way. He was having a
drink with a girl I had went to high school with,
and uh, you know, giving her some advice.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Was that Lois or No?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
No, no it was not.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
She came over to talk to me, and I ended
up dating her for some times. You could say that
I stole her from Bergeron, but I was that right.
I would never say I've had gold Bloom Steel chicks
from me.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Did Bergeron give you like an evil look what are
you doing with my lady?
Speaker 3 (23:43):
No, it wasn't like that. And she insisted that it
was not like that.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Okay, did he like raise a glass to you, like, hey, cheers,
you got a good one.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Well, no, it's not like I took her there and
was like, let's start dating this chick right now. Yeah,
look at this ground. Yeah, I'm claiming this for myself.
Wasn't like that, you know, I mean, you know, with

You know a lot of people like to use the
power of protest to rise up against injustice or right
a wrong. And in the case of Canada nineteen forty seven,
it was children. It was a group of children, two
(03:04):
hundred of them as a matter of fact, that marched
on and protested on the Capitol building in British Columbia,
shutting down the government for a day.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Why oh, that's like Principal Joe Clark.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Right, just like Principal Joe Clark and his white children.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Will my white children stand up?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Did they freeze the bank accounts of the kids that
were running up on the capitol at BC?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I think in this case they may have just emptied
their pockets as they were protesting the rise of price
in chocolate candy bars from five to eight cents. That's
a big jump five to eight cents. These kids are like, hey,
you a a and it is known as the candy
(03:55):
bar strike.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Wow. That's uh.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
You know that's a wholesome and and good use of
protest as.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
A agent of change, Matt.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
It's a great story, great wholesome story, exactly the Great
White North.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Everyone can get behind that, right. They kids want their chocolate,
damn it.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Except for the candy maker pissed off that you know,
fair doesn't get his profit margin farmer.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
All right, Matt, it is time for your word of
the day, his words. The word of the day. You know.
Today's word of the day is thunder. Feel the thunder, thunder,
lightning and the thunder.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I enjoyed the night of hoops, Matt, at the pay
Calm Center uh in okc and at the TD Bank
North the Garden or whatever it's called now in Boston.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Even when I was dropping my kid off.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
For school this morning, one of the one of the
guys at his schools like, how.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
About my necks?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Oh yeah, the Knick fans are really today?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, wait to go they won?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yes, how about my Nicks? How about that? You see
the Nicks.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
But it's interesting, you know, the Thunder play in OKC
which is well a little bit different than a lot
of NBA towns.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
My mom mentioned that last night, She's like, where is
that team from Oklahoma City? And the players will live there?
Will they see? Think they have to mother taxes?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
You know, they gotta pay out of tax They play
at the pay Calm Center, which I don't think any
of us have been there. But it's a great crowd
NBA atmosphere, not really, it's more of.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
An nc double A style atmosphere.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Most of them are fans of the Sooners or Oki
State types and probably a lot of Dallas Cowboy fans
mixed in there as well.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Man sounds about right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
But they are loud.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I mean it's a really you can't even hear the
side the stupid unnecessary sideline interview that ruined the first
minute or two of the next quarter.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It really hurts the experience watching the game and you
can't hear that.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
You can't hear it. And look, the crowd didn't help
last night, as Aaron Gordon at an Archbishop, Mitigo, Monarchs
and San Jose broke their hearts.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
But they have a whole T shirt thing, Matt.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
You know, we've talked about this for years. The teams
that leave the T shirt on the chair, right, and
you better wear it. Yeah, you're expected to wear the
T shirt. And the people that plan out their outfit
for like seven months to go to the Laker game,
there's no way in hell they're putting on the T shirt.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
No, doesn't.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
It doesn't matter what it says in Slovene or whatever
on the shirt to support Luca, you're not putting it
on ever. But in Okay, see, if you don't put
it on. And last night was like a weird black
out style.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, that threw me off that Denver was wearing white.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
It didn't Yeah, and then Denver looked it was the
ugly uniform Olympics, but they always have a different shirt
on and last night was a blackout. But I found
it interesting that if you don't wear the shirt on
your seat in Oklahoma City, they show you on social
media and shame you, or they put you up on
(07:24):
the big screens in the venue.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Oh, they out you in the venue.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
So then you see the guys doing the different things
that we always talk about, Matt, like the guys, you know,
coming from their their job with the yeah, with their
Oxford on, and they got the shirt over that with
the collar peeking out, looking like tools stupid. There's a
bunch of those. There's a bunch. I saw a couple
of guys with the shirt and then their sport coat
(07:51):
on over the shirt, which was another kind of tool.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Iss look, I look at it as a formal event
coming to this game here. And then they all for
the oion.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
They all looked like the surrender Cobra, you know at
the end of the game when Lord shot went in.
But I thought that was interesting, and then it reminded
me of another thing I saw.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I saw like a people are.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Talking about John Elway in the news and a terrible reason,
but it was Elway at a Denver Nuggets game, pumping
up the crowd before a playoff game, and he was like.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Let's get ready to Matumbo.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
And it's it's when Elway was the quarterback in Denver,
you know, And he's standing there and I'm looking at
Lway and I'm like, damn, that's why Don Martin had
his hair.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Like that all those years.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Like the way Elway was dressed. Everything screamed don Martin.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
To me, let me tell you about what happened with John.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Just got my haircut? John. What do you think I like?
H What do you think it's like?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Single white female bum smoke? Okayse Matt a college crowd
with their heartbroken last night. This should be a great
series with Denver. It's it's fun to watch. I'm admitting that,
and I am I'm interested in seeing what happens next
with the T shirts and how they will shame people
that refuse to wear them.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I said, I can get behind that. You know what,
f you you're at a basketball game. I don't care
about your stupid outfit.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
What about this outfit plan? This outfit for mines?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah, go to the go to South Beach.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
What about my drip?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Your drip is gonna be fun, It'll survive. Put on
the stupid shirt and screamed defense when we hit the
two drums.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
All right, it's time for the number of the number,
number of the.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Day, number of the day. P is nine point four billion,
nine point four billion. Who is laughing now? Man? A punchline,
A punchline. I feel this. I don't know now. See
I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth, which
I do every day and pretty much in every conversation
I ever have a punchline of a brand for many,
(10:10):
and I think it's thanks to their misses. We don't
focus on any of their successes, but we loved the
misses who's had success. Sketchers, they did the shape ups.
Remember they did the Joe Montana. It just it kind
of pardoned the punt. It kind of stumbled out of
the gate, the Kardashian thing.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Oh Stetchers don't, don't, don't, but make no mistake, Sketchers
makes money.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Big dough nine point four billions.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
You see that big gas factory, and it's you all
us made.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Right, It's it's all local, beach beach thing.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
And then they had the big ass factory in Moreno Valley.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, right off the ninety one or the sixty exactly.
I mean, this is all local p They just signed just.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Filt a big gas store on pH where the Walgreens
used to be.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You can not deny people love Sketchers. They got old men,
They got Sugar Ray, they got Howie Sugar Ray Leonard.
As we just mentioned Sugar Ray yesterday, the band Sugar
Ray Leonard. They got Howie long the old uh. They
have the not quite old but middle aged. Like I
mentioned in Tony Romo Pushing the Brand, they got the uh.
(11:19):
The influencers from the super hip and Snoop Dogg to
the incredibly old but yet somehow still hip Martha Stewart.
I guess you go to the clink for a few
months and you're pretty hip with the kids absolutely, you know,
bobbling and bobbling all over the place, with those eight year.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Old boss that postmenopausal body.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Maybe it's the name, maybe it's the no laces, maybe
it's the incredible old people vibe. In golf, they decided
to have the most down the middle, the personality of
a paint brush, but really good golfer.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Matt Kocher, La Gear had some head Joe Montana and
Magic Johnson. How again, Carl Malone, how do you fail?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Exactly right? And then of course Clayton Kershaw very similar
to Matt Kocher, like incredibly good player, but personality wise
just kind of right down the middle.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Well, but you know Kershaw's I mean, it's not just
what he's got on his feet, it's what he's got
on his car, those hand cook tires.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Those hand cooks. Yeah. See you pitch with the sketchers
and then you get in the car. Uh. Sketchers selling
just sold yesterday to three G Capital for nine point
four billion dollars. It reminds us of an old adage
in business. It is not hard to be cool, It
is really hard to be popular. And Skechers went for
(12:44):
the middle. They went for the old. They went for
the function, not fashion.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
They took the doubles over the home runs and they
just got You mentioned it be Robert Greenberg who stepped
down as CEO of La Gear, the company he founded
in nineteen eighty two, step down as CEO in nineteen
ninety three so he could start his new company, La
based Sketchers. How the hell you run La Gear into
(13:14):
the ground in nineteen ninety three after you just launched
the Catapult and have Carl Malone and you're like, you
know what, guys, I'm out of here. I'm going to
start something new, and bang, he freaking sells it for
ten billion dollars. Because of step ups and flex tongues
and some of the most ridiculous but functional shoes.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
You know, the shoes that you shape that when you
walk around.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, the Shape Ups ten billion dollars.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Yeah, I think I met one of these guys at Beachlife.
Some of their money is Beachlife is in Beach Life
because you know, it's a local thing on there.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
That would make sense, right, Manhattan Beach and what companies
making more in sketchers?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Exactly good for sketchers. I'm still not wearing them.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Not if they sponsored you, Well, that's a horse of
a different color, man.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Come yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Mean if they want to call, you want to put
a you want to put a sketcher's tattoo on my
back permanently, like like I was boxing, you know, yes,
but then well we need to discuss that though. All right,
it's time for the dead Guy Birthday of the day
beating out.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Oh sorry, and Roder's got the song of the day.
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
A female trio from Vancouver, Canada called Cub gives us
today's song of the day, called go Fish, because the
Dodgers are in Miami getting ready to go fish for
the bottom feeding Marlins in Game two at Loan Depot Park,
and the Petros and Money Show is exercising an ultra
super flex alert where Tim Kates will take over with
(14:52):
your Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck show. That's coming right
up at two thirty.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Thank you, running.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
All right, it's side of the Dead Guy birth there
other day, beating out our hero. Orson Wells from the
Third Man and the Transformers movie is author and journalist,
gambler and sometimes near duwell Gaston Leroux.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Oh we loved the nere do Wells.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Well, that's what he was, Matt Well, not really, I
mean just he just went broke gambling and he had
to find another way to make money. He had have
been one hundred and fifty seven years old today. French
journalist and author, born in Paris in eighteen sixty eight.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
A bastard. His parents married a month afterwards after his birth.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
But that's still in those days makes you bastard. These
days it still does, but you could.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Sidestep the stigma.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Yeah, but he inherited a lot of money and spent
it wildly as a gambler and just a wild, youthful man,
and almost reached bankruptcy. So Gaston made some money as
a journalist, and he did. He was a court reporter
(16:19):
and a theater critic, which is important, the theater part. Okay,
but his most important moment as a journalist was the
Russian Revolution nineteen oh five that he covered in person.
He also was on a volcano on a volcano.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
And covered that.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Right when he got back from the Russian Revolution, he
came home and they're like, now you got to cover
this volcano eruption. He's like, but I want some time off,
and they said no. And so he started writing fiction,
detective fishing fiction, of course, and his most famous work,
as we all know, is what he's known for today.
(17:11):
The Phantom of the Opera, released as a serial in
nineteen oh nine, went into nineteen ten English translation nineteen
eleven enormous hit. Matt You're procifhus Andy Lloyd Weber, Oh
I love him? And Mike Crawford made some real bones.
(17:33):
Oh Mike at a Gaston Narolse story. In the twentieth century.
Gaston wrote many books after that.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
He had a protagonist detective that was very popular, Joseph Rutabu.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
And Charie B b Ruta b r o U l
e t t e A b I l l l
e Ruta W.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
And Chari bb a wrongly convicted prison escape ee and
many other novels all kan transcribed into many many languages
and translated. He was married twice, only married his mistress,
who he had a couple of bastards with after his
wife died. He was also involved in film production. But
(18:28):
today we remember the man behind the Masquerade, and Christine
and little Lottie who let her mind wander.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
And where in the world have you been hiding now?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
He loved Edgar Allen Paul, He loved Arthur Conan Doyle,
and he knew all about the Paris Opera House because
he was an opera critic and heard all kinds of
weird rumors about the underground of the opera and based
The Phantom of the Opera off of those rumors. Beautiful guest,
(19:08):
holl the rule, your dead guy, Birthday of the.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Day, digging the pipework and pee, well, you're a live guy.
Bergeron under the under the Opera.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I hear this pipework and I'm drawn too.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Good a live guy here, Bergeron to let the a
holes know. Guy doesn't show up on America's Funniest Home
videos like he fell into it. Okay, I like to
think he earned it. Tom bergeron, Tom bergeron not Easy
to follow Saggot that's for sure. But Bergeron did a
bang up job, and today we celebrate him for it.
It's his seventieth born in Haverhill, mass French Canadian dude.
(19:42):
He is told the tale many times, but here is
a sliver of it on local TV with his parents
sitting right next to him, about him being seventeen years
old and deciding he needed to track down and interview
his heroes, the Three Stooges in the.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Victory Country Home.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
I had, remember the little suction cup thing I had
into the tape recorder. Yeah, and my heart is beating
like a jackhammer, and I call the motion Picture Country
Home and I said, you know, is Larry fine there?
And though not with this voice, I did it with
the voice that is still changing.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
You know, the is Larry fine there?
Speaker 6 (20:19):
And the woman says, I'll get him. I mean, this
is too easy, and she says, well, actually he's playing
poker right now. Can you call back in about a
half hour And I did. Luckily they were taking a
long ride and I'd talked to Larry and there was
he had suffered a stroke. There's a little bit of
that affecting his speech, but not a lot. Still recognizable
as you know, the Larry of the Three Stooges and
(20:41):
one of the most magical questions ever asked to me
and years and years in broadcasting. At one point, because
the conversation was going well, he said, you want Moe's number.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
I was like, I'm they.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
He gave me Moe's number. I called Moe's House Talk.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
It was incredible.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
How about dad Berg, You're on at seventeen years old
talking to Moe and Larry on a freaking whim. That's
how you earn America's funniest home video. You don't get it,
you earn it.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Wow. You could be on full House and maybe break
more sets. Heart you get on.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
That way right, you could do that too. He started
out in small market radio p WHAU.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
It could be like the filthiest comedian in the world
with this strange family appeal.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Like sah, there's that too. He started out in small
market radio WHAV his hometown of Haverhill, Massachusetts. Did so
well there he was promoted to Portsmouth WHGB, New Hampshire.
A wacky DJ guy was the talk of New Hampshire.
So we jumped the TV local game show Granite State
Challenge on New Hampshire public television, and then he made
(21:52):
the jump to the big time p Boston WBC did
evening magazine in eighty four and Pardon the pun Jackpot.
He gets moved to Lottery Live. That's right, hosting the
lottery drawing every well three nights a week, and that
earned him wbz's weekend morning magazine wrap Around, directed at teenagers.
(22:17):
By the early nineties, he was a local star. Effects
FX hired him to do breakfast talk, Good Morning America
used him as a guest host. He landed Hollywood Squares
in ninety eight, won the Daytime Emmy for that in
two thousand and one, Opens Up he takes AFV America's
funnyest Own Videos. Thirteen years man on the same show.
(22:37):
That is a Golden Goose, and all he did was
follow it up with fifteen years for Dancing with the Stars.
Burgaron bergeron nine Emmy nominations, one win, threw it all.
He got to do a little TV star Trek, the
Nanny Muppets Phineas and for Mary Done Nanny Nanny got
to go out there with dressing right. Married to his
(23:00):
wife Lois since eighty two, two Daughters, Happy seventieth, he
earned it.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Berger I saw him once many years ago at the
Casa del Mar, and he was drinking, having a drink. No,
it was a very platonic way. He was having a
drink with a girl I had went to high school with,
and uh, you know, giving her some advice.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Was that Lois or No?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
No, no it was not.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
She came over to talk to me, and I ended
up dating her for some times. You could say that
I stole her from Bergeron, but I was that right.
I would never say I've had gold Bloom Steel chicks
from me.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Did Bergeron give you like an evil look what are
you doing with my lady?
Speaker 3 (23:43):
No, it wasn't like that. And she insisted that it
was not like that.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Okay, did he like raise a glass to you, like, hey, cheers,
you got a good one.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Well, no, it's not like I took her there and
was like, let's start dating this chick right now. Yeah,
look at this ground. Yeah, I'm claiming this for myself.
Wasn't like that, you know, I mean, you know, with
the old guys, Matt, you can lose them, but you
can win two. Yeah, we'll be back tomorrow late show,
(24:15):
Dodgers will play twice and then we'll be back around
five o'clock
