Speaker 3 (00:46):
You know. I've seen the Dodgers collapse year after year
after year, and they wear down and the big payroll
stars wear down. And the one year they win, it's
a sixty game season. It's effectively June to third is
what after sixty games? So I mean to call that
a championship. It pissed me off they didn't win this
year because I've been hearing the Giants fans over and
(01:06):
over yet a real championship year.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
You know, last night, Matt, I heard something semi embarrassing.
I was watching the NBA and the House Nuggets was
being beaten so badly that I well, you know, they
stole their early one and night. Let's let these freaking
uh shovel heads out here and okay, se have have
(03:23):
some excitement and win by Bertie. Wow, we're going back
to Denver. Let these shovel headed idiots have their moment.
But because Denver was losing so badly, I, you know,
and the Dodgers were finished, I said, why don't we
check in with our old friend Mark Ubaza and see
what's going on with the team that you used to
be quite a supporter of York California Angels also now
(03:45):
known as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. I couldn't
resist the periwinkles, and it spoke to me, wouldn't you know, Matt,
speaking of that time they were in a knockdown, drag
out battle with the Canadian Blue Jays. Is there any
other kind?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
No, No, that's not They were the only team the
Expos have since moved to the district.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
They were with the Canadian Blue Jays and having a
knockdown drag out and Jorges Solaire got up and whacked
one in the left and it took a fortuitous bounce
for the Angels got kind of booted in the outfield,
and uh they were able to win the game. They
won and walk off fashion. So Laire got dowsed? Walk
(04:27):
off at home? Yeah, hard to do it up in Canada.
Very different rules. Well yeah, they're very you know, uh,
they've become you know, a lot of regulations. Yes, and
here is that call, Matt and you tell me it's
our friend Mark Bubaza and Wayne Randazzo, who I believe
is pretty hard to crack as far as you know,
(04:50):
getting him not to act like a stiff douche. What
do I care here?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
He is.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Randazz and Gooby with the walk off call? Why out
of the field line, Palace comes in? No's on his way?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
No, time's the game up?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
To lay the corner? Shall the row comes home?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
That's all down?
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Show, go out to the blue chairs. Oh hey, solar
lingsat for the angels.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Good layout, that's a real good layout. So they're selective.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Rocket it down the line, Halos, look.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It off, wanna come back? Woa the kids and then
the veterans wanna swings, Claire, biggest hit is a Halo?
What a job right there? And you rock it down
in the corner. That's tough corner here at the big Hey, Yes,
(06:02):
the angels in the upfield? Yeah yeah, baby, yeah, I
mean flatter state holders.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Even though he was out in front, kept his hands
back long enough and right down the line.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
He's so lay Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I once that ball kicked away from Cossa in the corner,
it was easy for Shaniel to score the winning all.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
The way from first.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
That's a top whole corner just gets away level land.
They peeped up a little bit to see the angels
in the airfield. Yes it is twice Angel came out
there and moved that face prob.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Twice to two and a half references love it to
the great movie with Danny Glover angels and Tony Danza
angels in the outfield. Danza didn't want to do the dance,
but he had he needed motivating. I'm surprised that everybody
wasn't standing up at Angel Stadium flapping their wings, and
(07:10):
Danny Glover didn't go out there and tell Solaia right before,
there's an angel with you.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Right now, here's the pitch and Losado smashes one to
deep center.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I don't think Williams will get to this one.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
It is.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Now, this is a movie. It's a different time, much
more innocent though. Ninety four. No, you gotta believe honey,
we don't send them carried him us Joe Gordon, I
was gonna say it. That's two of os. Yeah, how
(08:07):
did he do that? I don't know. Reybe the bad guy.
It's a lot like the Chargers. The bad Guy and
Angel run is the radio play by play here's to come,
A lot like the Chargers. Right, the bad guy at
the mark, I'm hanging, I'm hungry by play guy. Yeah,
(08:30):
right for the sky. Those guys, these guys are sparkling
for chus.
Speaker 9 (08:37):
Are you talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Roger John yesterday?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Job?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Last night they were outfield kicked that ball away from clawsing.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
How about a couple of the players on the Angels
team from Angels in the Outfield circa nineteen ninety four,
You mentioned Dan's Danza Dansa is a pitcher and he's dying.
Matthew mcconnaey, he plays the outfield.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
There's an Angel appear right now, mca he is an outfielder.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Didn't know that, adri And Brodie is an Angel's utility
player and Angels in the Outfield hits the ball with
his nose right and uh Taylor Negron, you remember his
character actor from All of the Better Off d He
was the postman in Better Off Dead. That dude was
in there, like you mentioned, Joseph Gordon Levitt. Damn, that
(09:21):
was a packed cast for that nineteen ninety four Angels
in the Outfield This.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Gets alone, love around life imitating.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Like paked up a little bit. See Angels in the Outfield. Yes,
it was Angels in the Outfield. Angel came out.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
There and moved. There's an angel with you right now.
And at the end of the season, Glover spoiler alert,
adopts the orphan Joe Gordon Levitt and his little black friend.
He does. Yeah, remember no, sure, you boys are gonna
come and live with me, Danny Glover. We're gonna get
I'm a man ship.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I'm going one hundred and sixty two out of one
hundred and eighty five days of the summer when you're
not in school.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Lord knows. I drinks a bit. Thank you, Gooby and
Wayne Ram Dazzhole. You got an angel with you right now,
just got here. He's gonna help ha ha. Well, the
Angels better get their angel because they're five games under
(10:27):
five hundred ID.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
And old Jay Jay Gordon Levitt prays for God to
help the Angels during a game against the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Is when he made that initial prayer. Cans he see
Gooby knows, No, he knows. That's the signal. That's the signal.
There's an angel with you right now. He's gonna help
you with this bitch.
Speaker 8 (10:54):

com zen She Sushi Fast Fresh Easy. It is time
for three things Thursday.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
Three thingsters.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Well, you got it started yesterday with your word of
the day talking NBA playoffs. Even though our two teams
have been eliminated and we are watching other well organizations
other major markets enjoy the success of their round ball
organization while we suffer in silence. Our teams dispatched in
(12:16):
the opening round of the tournament. And we should not
be surprised today because yesterday one of the two games
was intriguing. Another comeback for the Knicks, who have now
won two games in Boston against the Celtics, and the
collective media has already lost its mind.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Oh, it's got We discussed it, matt It's it's a
real to do out there. Steven A. Smith, a very
presidential steven A Smith, nice talking about it, his moment
in the sun. You know, the Sandman's going to be
out there in New York. McConaughey, the McConaughey, Yeah, is
he modin, Yeah, modeinne Matthew down in Texas, Yeah, Matthew Modin.
(12:54):
And then you know, I mean the the Celtics fan base,
which is like a Springsteen concert with edge. Yes, just
a lot of really mad white people. They remain angry,
and it's a man, it's fun. It's fun for us
Garden versus Garden. It's kind of fun. But at the
same time, I mean, the East Coast is bubbling a
(13:14):
bubble and we got what we got, our poots in
our hands. Yeah, we got the remnants of whatever is
going on.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
With ratings talk now dominates all sports outlets, and the
Knicks are a long, long long way away from the
NBA Final.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Alan Houston's grand old man.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And there, of course is a flip side to that,
and it's the incoming whoever wins the Cleveland Indiana Series
and they're gonna wear it. Do you know how disappointed
the league is gonna be if they could have the
Knicks and the finals and instead have to have the
Indiana Pacers?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Do you know what it is gonna be like?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
That is what we are going As it turns out,
when you have thirty teams in thirty different cities, it
is entirely possible that one of the thirty outside of
New York, LA, Chicago, Boston, or San Francisco may end
up making the NBA Finals in lou Orlando Before man
just exactly could Why would they put a team in
(14:17):
Oklahoma City and give it the opportunity to compete in
the NBA Finals. Can't believe people show up to what?
I get the excitement. I understand the Nicks have not
been to the NBA finals. You mentioned Helen Houston. I
think it's the OJ Chase maybe no, no, no, it's
been a long time. Yeah, the OJ Chase Houston Rocket,
(14:37):
It's uh, it's been a while since they made it.
I think the Spree Well teammate it that one years
an eight seed and like a strike shortened season if
I remember it, they lost, Yeah, I think to the Spurs,
Avery Johnson, Spur, it's been a long Avery Johnson, It's
been a long time, So go on, get after it.
Thirty five times in NBA playoffs passed and now we
(15:01):
had two more to that with the Pacers and Knicks
winning both games on the opponent court to start a
conference semifinal. Has a team come back to one the
series when needing to win four to five. They've done
it five times, so certainly Boston still has an opportunity
to do as much. You would assume the NBA Champions
are a team that are plenty capable of pulling that off.
(15:24):
And I will say, as you mentioned the East Coast
and how they are dealing with this, the happiness I
speak of is this sliver that you have these two
meathead sports talk markets in Boston and New York already
built in rivalries with all of the stakes involved, the
(15:45):
Celtics arguably the biggest brand in the NBA, defending champs,
and they're taking incoming from national media about how boring
a brand of basketball they play. How this has been
the Celtics all year. They collect as Layton games, they
miss shots, it's a boring It's the Boston Celtics and
(16:06):
they are the defending champs. But once the Knicks get
a sniff, just a sniff, they all freak out.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
What's so exciting about the Knicks. Brunson's puffy face and
the effeminate Karl Anthony Towns mkill Bridges is a dog man.
He was a Phoenix sun. No one cared.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
This is going to be an actual legitimate topic that
we don't want the defending champs, the Boston Celtics in
the NBA Finals, because we would much rather have the
New York Knicks.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Do you know what the ratings will look like? You
see all the hoops that they jumped through for the Lakers. Yes,
you know now that they tried. The Knicks ownership is
is a little bit more defiant Old JB and the
straight shots man and but but they're they're still gonna
try their best.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Most definitely to bounce the Celtics from the playoffs, so
my Knicks can end up making a run. Second thing,
the hits keep coming, Lebron.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's what we have on the West Coast. Matt, here
we go the rep podcast of Lebron's podcast. Yeah, you
brought this up and it still sticks with me. I
can't get away from it. The idea that he can't
make the met Gala because of a knee injury. Unfortunately,
(17:32):
and you had me read this, and that's why it's
stuck with me and for sure on you. Unfortunately, because
of my knee injury I sustained at the end of
the season, I won't be able to attend the Met
Gala in New York tonight has so many people. That's
my favorite part right there and congratulating that meddle part
me on exclamation point. So many people have been asking
(17:56):
to congratulating beyond that's usually what happens to me just
on my way to work. Hate to miss and he
uses and which you can do it in speaking, but writing,
hate to miss an historical event. My beautiful, powerful queen
will be there holding the castle down, not my house castle,
(18:18):
as she's always done. I can't get over it.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
How how you make a public proclamation that you're skipping
the met gala a dinner, Yeah, talking to some people
sitting and being praised for your stupid outfit and act important,
he said. He claims that it was a grade to
(18:44):
mcl spring.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
That is the claim which would be and I looked
it up at the Cleveland Clinic. What is recovery from
a grade to mcl spring four to eight week recovery,
limited weight bearing, possibility of an knee brace, even crutches,
no surgery rehab four to eight weeks?
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Now, the pod that he did was shot from the
chest up, so I was not able to tell if
there was a brace or.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Tom and Jerry machines. Where could have been in an
iron lung steamer anything?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
So I don't know what in fact was going on
below the high shot of his gigantic quagmire from family
guy like jaw and his beard?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
How do you get one of those? Anyway? Is there
a way that your jaw just keeps growing and growing?
I don't know, but something uh hare he was talking
about maybybe check with the Cleveland clip. Yeah, I can
look at that up.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
What causes an inordinately large jaw to keep growing and
a middle aged man.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I don't notice a guy have an athletic prowess that
seems to the continuing and continuing and defies age. Yes
he does. As a matter of fact, here he is
saying why they lost to the Timberwolves.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
You know, we entered a season well, but like you said,
you know, when it comes to the postseason, man, matchups,
sometimes it doesn't determine how well of a regular season
you had. You know, it's the matchups. And we ran
into a damn good matchup. A team that's been battle tested,
a team that's hungry, a team that a lot of
(20:27):
a lot of youth but also experienced at the same time,
and another team that's trying to make the next step. Man,
you know, they were a worthy opponent, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Going back to the MCL, that was crap.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Thanks for finding Okay, so I'm sorry you had to
listen to that pod to track something down that was
worthwhile to play here because it's making the news. But
here's the thing about that MCL spring. He goes down
at the eight thirty nine point of the fourth quarter.
He like a bag of potatoes, like laying there like
he got freaking cracked in the knee by freaking Harding's henchman.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I've seen people shot get up faster in videos.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
He leaves the game with the Lakers down two eight
thirty nine, checks back in at seven twenty three, and
played the rest of the game. Missus a jumper with
his team down one, gets an offensive rebound, misses a
fourteen footer with his team down three, misses a three
with his team down three, makes a three to cut
the lead to two, misses a three with his team
(21:27):
down six, assists on a three pointer from Ruey to
cut the deficit to three, and with the team down six,
fowls Julius Randall to send him to the line point
being he was all over the court for seven and
a half minutes with a great two tear.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
He just couldn't feel it. Man, you call him BS
on the injury Matt per the Cleveland Clinic website again,
what is the I said, what is the instant effect
of a Grade two MCL tear m?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Immediate sharp pain in the knee. Swelling bruising will follow shortly.
Your knee will feel loose and unstable, especially when you
move or try to bear weight. You can usually walk,
but it would be painful. So you're saying this is
like lay caste lay.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Cast parder.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
Is what this is.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
If it's a grade too, he can't play basketball like
that for seven and a half minutes. Adrenaline be damned
and now listen. If this is the first instance of
it happening, then okay, maybe it's like you know what,
he's an incredibly conditioned guy. He takes care of his body.
(22:45):
Played on a broken leg, Matt, But we've seen this movie. Yes,
we know this story. Yes, there is no way in
hell that that is a grade too. Mcl tear. That
a precluded that the point of the story precluded him
from flying to New York and going to the freaking
met Gala.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Going through the motions with Lebron and his people, especially
now that he's grand old and that he forced his
son onto the team, and just going through the motions
has become quite tiresome, Harry, and very predictable. Yeah, you
know that they'll be so I was injured, there'll be
something to put him in the news. There'll be another
thing to put him in the news. Retirement, speculation, to
(23:26):
put him in their option. We're still talking about it
mea McQueen. She runs the castle, holds it down, holds
it tire at the castle. We're talking about whether or
not I'm going to take that fifty two million dollars
at forty one years old and come back to play
basketball quickly. Third thing, I had to wear it too, Okay.
I was driving home from San Luis Obispo yesterday. We
were on late listening to the Dodger game, Tim Neverett,
(23:49):
Rick Monday having a grand old time. You know, Neverett
won't talk about a no hitter like vic Rojas. No,
he did that the other night with Yamamoto did He
would not mention me, can't do that. He he did it,
can't do it. So on our air when we're out there,
we're gonna have to have a conversation with him on defense.
I don't want to, Hey, Neverett, I just want to
say here that it's not don't do that. It's not defensible.
(24:11):
So I got the and this was you know, this
is what the boss used to tell us.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
My man, they're gonna leave that Dodger game on and
then they're gonna get in their car the next day
and go to work.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
And they're gonna get up and hear something else, and they're.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Gonna have AM five to seventy LA Sports on mo
May and that's what the Dodgers are all about.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Let me guess you were listening to the late Dodger game.
You woke up and you had AM five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Got into my car to drive up to the show today,
get to the prep zone before we went on the
air at two o'clock. And who's on but uh old
j Mack with the news and he's having a little
conversation about Clippers basketball.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
Sticking with the NBA.
Speaker 10 (24:44):
The Clippers, they got bouncing Game seven, they had Kawhi,
they had James Harden. James Harden didn't really show up.
We called him Jim Harden. He had seven points in
an elimination game. So GM Lawrence Frank bizarrely expects to
run it back Colin with the Star do and he
thinks that La the Clippers that is are going to
be a free aged destination moving forward.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
We're super excited about the direction going forward.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
We're going to continue to compete at a high level,
deserving the path forward, using financial flexibility and the different
advantages that we have with our organization, with Steve t.
Lou the great City of Los Angeles be into a
dome are players. We feel we are a highly appealing
place for players to be, so make no mistake, we
(25:30):
want to contend in the present. We also have a
plan for the future. I won't take the necessary steps
to implement it.
Speaker 10 (25:35):
Looking at their salary cap breakdown, basically their top eight
guys are all back next year. None of them are
free agents. I don't know that this team can really
get over the hump and get better. Unlike the Lakers
who added Luca mid season, I don't think they're in
the same class.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
Paper Clips are not even close to the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Paper Clips And that's when it hit me.
Speaker 10 (25:56):
Pee.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
All I do is get on here and bitch and
moan about James Hard and being terrible in elimination games.
And I'm not adding anything to it. There's no spice.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Paper clip.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
Paper Clips are not even closer to the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
A paper clipt even close.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
Paper Clips are not even closer.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I mean they won the exact same number of games
fifty Each team won fifty games, went further in the
playoffs past regular season. Yeah, they went to a game
seven paper Clips, and I didn't have God, I just
didn't have the comedic sense to not call him James
hard when he plays bad.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Round here, would call him Jim.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
So a tip of the cap to our old boss
who used to tell us, my man, you hook him
in it, not with the Dodger game. Then they in
their car and next thing you know, they get stuck listening.
Sure enough, I turned that car on. I heard J
Mack with the news about the paper clips, and I
was like, hey, I want to riff on that. I
think I think the Petros and Money Show could have
a good time building on what these guys started at
(26:55):
eleven thirty.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Paper Clips are not even closer to see him right now,
standing on Manhattan, each per going like th relling good,
I did a Jim Harden and a paper clip.
Speaker 9 (27:04):
Paper clips are not even close to the lake.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
I hear him high and I hear them all, I'm sorry,
it's infuriated to hear that. We'll be back with more
on trying to piss me off. Around here, we call
him Jim James Harden had a terrible games to Heaven.
Around here, we call him Jeff Jim Harden. Damn it,
Why do I have.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
To be such a sad, pathetic local sports talk guy
without a national platform using comedy like that.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
We called him Jim Harden. He had seven points in
an elimination game.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
We call him Jim Harden.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
He had.
Speaker 9 (27:35):
We called him Jim Harden. He had seven points in
an elimination game.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
And those are your three things. Well, we have another
segment after this one a little bit longer and the
Dodgers at Arizona, the last stop of this longest, most
arduous road trip of the year. Dodgers on deck at
(28:01):
five thirty with Tim Kate's first pitch at six forty,
the Snakes versus the Dodgers and Mother's Day on AM
II seventy LA. Sports matt is always a special occasion.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
It sure is, because it's your chance to win an
experience how unique, as unique as a mother's love.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
A complimentary eighty minute massage or facial at Burke Williams,
And we gave one away today on the show. It
was our opportunity to take care of you, who could
then take care of your loved one who is a
mother maybe or maybe not. Maybe you're gonna use it
for yourself, but you can all let's.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Not quibble about label exactly. Hey, congratulations to our winner.
Unlock exclusive savings, though you can get one for your
mother right now or the mother in your life. Burke
Williams dot Com forward slash Mother's Day has all the details,
all right, Matt, your dead guy Birthday of the day,
beating out Jacob Miller. Which is the first big song
(28:58):
chosen for the show? That is the three o'clock hour
or four o'clock hour start of the Petro sand Money Show.
Jacob Miller died in a terrible, terrible car accident, but
today we'll celebrate Saul Bass always a very interesting guy
to talk about, Matt. I think we've talked about him before,
(29:18):
you or me. He would have been one hundred and
five years old today. A graphic designer like the Petro
Send Money Photoshop bandit. Maybe these are a little bit
more well known. Sorry, I'm just distracted by the Tesla
Slately Well. He made signs, Matt. He worked for all
the best film makers, first ever Auto Preminger was the
(29:42):
first guy to hire him. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese.
It's a Jewish guy from the Bronx. He studied art
at Brooklyn College, started designing prints in Hollywood in the
nineteen forties, movie posters and things like that, and some
really really cool stuff. He left his first wife and
(30:04):
married his second wife, Elaine, my wife. And what him
and Elaine did, and he did it before too, which
was create the modern title sequence. Oh, the opening title,
like the whole thing like it used to be. They'd
start a movie and they'd put the title up and
that was pretty much here we go movie. But the
fact that the title sequence Psycho Vertigo, all those Alfred
(30:30):
Hitchcock movies that would set the tone for the film,
no one had done that before him, stylishly really kind
of bringing the two together between the design of the
intro and the lettering and all that and the movie.
His title sequences have been known, like in the seven
(30:52):
year itch to outperform the movie Thesel in the nineteen eighties,
James L. Brooks, the producer, got kind of him and
his wife going again for movies. My wife had him
do Cape Fear, Goodfellas, stuff like that. But then the
graphic design Matt he designed the logo for these companies
(31:15):
and many many others. Some of us hit so closely
to our heart that I almost want to cover my sternum.
He designed the AT and T logo, the Geffen Records logo,
the Warner Entertainment logo, the Quaker Oats logo, Hannah barbera
(31:45):
Lowry's Seasoned Salt.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I mean every one of those you can picture in
your mind's eye immediately. Minota, they're all very similar. The
G for Geffen, the M for Minolta, the HB like
they're all for Wiener Snitzel. I saw you look out
the window, put your eyes on it, like, ye, there
it is.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
It is.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
I'm looking at it right now. And General Foods, General
Foods and some great movie posters, great art. He died
in nineteen ninety six at seventy five, and he won
an Oscar for a documentary film that he made, Why
a Man Creates or something like that. Saw Bass your
dead guy, Birthday of the Day.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Well you're a live guy. I think without MTV, we
assume the music video is a lost art. But with
YouTube it's still thriving. I think you just have to
seek out the video you want to watch instead of
planting your ass on the couch and watching whatever that
they do.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
They still make music video. Yeah, and even more interestingly,
they make you know, a lot of live performances there.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I am very easy, you know, but back in the day,
you got one hundred and twenty minutes on and it's like,
well but am I going to.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
See that part? Is back in the objected yourself to
the same music video so many times that you became
you know, almost it wore you down. Yeah, like almost
like a shell of yourself, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I kind of like this sledgehammer by Pete Gabriel. I
can kind of get behind this because this video is
off seated so many times. So we celebrate one of
the all time greades from the genre. Michel Gondry, a
brilliant guy, a French dude born in Versailles. Grandfather invented
one of the earliest synthesizers, so music was in his genetics.
(33:29):
Said it was the movie Les Voyage ent Barlon that
led to his filmmaking, but music was happening as well.
He was the drummer for a pretty popular French rock
and roll band called Louie Be and he directed all
of their videos, which got some MTV Europe play, and
Byork liked them so much she asked him to direct
(33:53):
her video for Human Behavior.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Ah real classic, Yes, who doesn't run through the forest
with that kind of weirdness going on? Matt none of it.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Everybody loved it. It was celebrated. B York loved it,
and basically they became partners, moving forward between them pretty much.
He did all of her videos after that, and he
had done some others before it in Spiral Carpets, Two
Worlds Collide, a big one, but the New York thing
saw him take off, and everyone wanted a piece. Kravitz,
(34:22):
Terence Trent Darby, Sinat O'Connor, Rolling Stones, He did Massive Attacks,
Protection video, Chibo motto, radio head.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Oh, I'll tell you which what he did for Shanade.
I bet you it was the Emperor's new clothes. I
don't remember. I bet you it was. I mean the
other one was just her faith. I don't remember. Oh
the nothing compares to you. But he did some big
hits too.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Foo's ever long, Kanye's heard him say he was direct
his biggest one, I would say, at least a music video.
The first time I saw it, I went, holy crap.
That's a video. He did White Stripes Fell in Love
with a Girl, which helped launch them the Lego video
that was his, and he's a stud pretty much after that.
He did all the White Stripes videos, He's done all
(35:06):
the Chemical Brothers videos. The Let Forever b was one
I think that might have won some stuff. Commercials. Won
a bunch of awards for his commercials, and there was
like a big section of his bio for his Levi's
five oh one commercial. That was the most awarded commercial
ever from whatever the commercial awards are, and it never
(35:28):
aired in the US because it was too racy. It
was set in the nineteen twenties and it was a
young man purchasing a three pack of condoms from the
drug store. Had a very interesting twist at the end.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
I just assume when they don't buy condoms in any
commercial that they're just robbed on. This guy wasn't.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
First person perspective widely hailed, and after that Charlie Kaufman
became a huge fan. So, while directors were falling all
over themselves to direct his Human Nature, met with Gondry
and they filmed that one together and then co wrote
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
This guy music video director has some not.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
So well received films after that, The Green Hornet with
seth Rogen and be kind Rewind with Jack Black and
most deaf. So he was like, I'm gonna get back
to the French stuff and did a bunch of French
films that were celebrated and in the indie type circles.
Well that's us right there, two kids sixty two years
old today, Michel Gondry.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
All right, and we'll be right back. We still got
a lot more show meet. We have got the uh
fun fact and the quick hits, and then we'll get
you to the desert where the Dodgers finish out. They're
extremely long and winding road trip Lawyers

after year, and they wear down and the big payroll
stars wear down. And the one year they win, it's
a sixty game season. It's effectively June to third is
what after sixty games? So I mean to call that

Speaker 1 (03:01):
You know, last night, Matt, I heard something semi embarrassing.
I was watching the NBA and the House Nuggets was
being beaten so badly that I well, you know, they
stole their early one and night. Let's let these freaking
uh shovel heads out here and okay, se have have
(03:23):
some excitement and win by Bertie. Wow, we're going back
to Denver. Let these shovel headed idiots have their moment.
But because Denver was losing so badly, I, you know,
and the Dodgers were finished, I said, why don't we
check in with our old friend Mark Ubaza and see
what's going on with the team that you used to
be quite a supporter of York California Angels also now
(03:45):
known as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. I couldn't
resist the periwinkles, and it spoke to me, wouldn't you know, Matt,
speaking of that time they were in a knockdown, drag
out battle with the Canadian Blue Jays. Is there any
other kind?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
No, No, that's not They were the only team the
Expos have since moved to the district.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
They were with the Canadian Blue Jays and having a
knockdown drag out and Jorges Solaire got up and whacked
one in the left and it took a fortuitous bounce
for the Angels got kind of booted in the outfield,
and uh they were able to win the game. They
won and walk off fashion. So Laire got dowsed? Walk
(04:27):
off at home? Yeah, hard to do it up in Canada.
Very different rules. Well yeah, they're very you know, uh,
they've become you know, a lot of regulations. Yes, and
here is that call, Matt and you tell me it's
our friend Mark Bubaza and Wayne Randazzo, who I believe
is pretty hard to crack as far as you know,
(04:50):
getting him not to act like a stiff douche. What
do I care here?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
He is.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Randazz and Gooby with the walk off call? Why out
of the field line, Palace comes in? No's on his way?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
No, time's the game up?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
To lay the corner? Shall the row comes home?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
That's all down?
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Show, go out to the blue chairs. Oh hey, solar
lingsat for the angels.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Good layout, that's a real good layout. So they're selective.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Rocket it down the line, Halos, look.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It off, wanna come back? Woa the kids and then
the veterans wanna swings, Claire, biggest hit is a Halo?
What a job right there? And you rock it down
in the corner. That's tough corner here at the big Hey, Yes,
(06:02):
the angels in the upfield? Yeah yeah, baby, yeah, I
mean flatter state holders.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Even though he was out in front, kept his hands
back long enough and right down the line.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
He's so lay Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I once that ball kicked away from Cossa in the corner,
it was easy for Shaniel to score the winning all.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
The way from first.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
That's a top whole corner just gets away level land.
They peeped up a little bit to see the angels
in the airfield. Yes it is twice Angel came out
there and moved that face prob.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Twice to two and a half references love it to
the great movie with Danny Glover angels and Tony Danza
angels in the outfield. Danza didn't want to do the dance,
but he had he needed motivating. I'm surprised that everybody
wasn't standing up at Angel Stadium flapping their wings, and
(07:10):
Danny Glover didn't go out there and tell Solaia right before,
there's an angel with you.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Right now, here's the pitch and Losado smashes one to
deep center.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I don't think Williams will get to this one.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
It is.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Now, this is a movie. It's a different time, much
more innocent though. Ninety four. No, you gotta believe honey,
we don't send them carried him us Joe Gordon, I
was gonna say it. That's two of os. Yeah, how
(08:07):
did he do that? I don't know. Reybe the bad guy.
It's a lot like the Chargers. The bad Guy and
Angel run is the radio play by play here's to come,
A lot like the Chargers. Right, the bad guy at
the mark, I'm hanging, I'm hungry by play guy. Yeah,
(08:30):
right for the sky. Those guys, these guys are sparkling
for chus.
Speaker 9 (08:37):
Are you talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Roger John yesterday?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Job?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Last night they were outfield kicked that ball away from clawsing.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
How about a couple of the players on the Angels
team from Angels in the Outfield circa nineteen ninety four,
You mentioned Dan's Danza Dansa is a pitcher and he's dying.
Matthew mcconnaey, he plays the outfield.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
There's an Angel appear right now, mca he is an outfielder.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Didn't know that, adri And Brodie is an Angel's utility
player and Angels in the Outfield hits the ball with
his nose right and uh Taylor Negron, you remember his
character actor from All of the Better Off d He
was the postman in Better Off Dead. That dude was
in there, like you mentioned, Joseph Gordon Levitt. Damn, that
(09:21):
was a packed cast for that nineteen ninety four Angels
in the Outfield This.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Gets alone, love around life imitating.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Like paked up a little bit. See Angels in the Outfield. Yes,
it was Angels in the Outfield. Angel came out.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
There and moved. There's an angel with you right now.
And at the end of the season, Glover spoiler alert,
adopts the orphan Joe Gordon Levitt and his little black friend.
He does. Yeah, remember no, sure, you boys are gonna
come and live with me, Danny Glover. We're gonna get
I'm a man ship.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I'm going one hundred and sixty two out of one

Lord knows. I drinks a bit. Thank you, Gooby and
Wayne Ram Dazzhole. You got an angel with you right now,

Angels better get their angel because they're five games under
(10:27):
five hundred ID.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
And old Jay Jay Gordon Levitt prays for God to
help the Angels during a game against the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1 (10:38):

Speaker 7 (11:45):
Three thingsters.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Well, you got it started yesterday with your word of
the day talking NBA playoffs. Even though our two teams
have been eliminated and we are watching other well organizations
other major markets enjoy the success of their round ball
organization while we suffer in silence. Our teams dispatched in
(12:16):
the opening round of the tournament. And we should not
be surprised today because yesterday one of the two games
was intriguing. Another comeback for the Knicks, who have now
won two games in Boston against the Celtics, and the
collective media has already lost its mind.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Oh, it's got We discussed it, matt It's it's a
real to do out there. Steven A. Smith, a very
presidential steven A Smith, nice talking about it, his moment
in the sun. You know, the Sandman's going to be
out there in New York. McConaughey, the McConaughey, Yeah, is
he modin, Yeah, modeinne Matthew down in Texas, Yeah, Matthew Modin.
(12:54):
And then you know, I mean the the Celtics fan base,
which is like a Springsteen concert with edge. Yes, just
a lot of really mad white people. They remain angry,
and it's a man, it's fun. It's fun for us
Garden versus Garden. It's kind of fun. But at the
same time, I mean, the East Coast is bubbling a
(13:14):
bubble and we got what we got, our poots in
our hands. Yeah, we got the remnants of whatever is
going on.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
With ratings talk now dominates all sports outlets, and the
Knicks are a long, long long way away from the
NBA Final.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Alan Houston's grand old man.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And there, of course is a flip side to that,
and it's the incoming whoever wins the Cleveland Indiana Series
and they're gonna wear it. Do you know how disappointed
the league is gonna be if they could have the
Knicks and the finals and instead have to have the
Indiana Pacers?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Do you know what it is gonna be like?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
That is what we are going As it turns out,
when you have thirty teams in thirty different cities, it
is entirely possible that one of the thirty outside of
New York, LA, Chicago, Boston, or San Francisco may end
up making the NBA Finals in lou Orlando Before man
just exactly could Why would they put a team in
(14:17):
Oklahoma City and give it the opportunity to compete in
the NBA Finals. Can't believe people show up to what?
I get the excitement. I understand the Nicks have not
been to the NBA finals. You mentioned Helen Houston. I
think it's the OJ Chase maybe no, no, no, it's
been a long time. Yeah, the OJ Chase Houston Rocket,
(14:37):
It's uh, it's been a while since they made it.
I think the Spree Well teammate it that one years
an eight seed and like a strike shortened season if
I remember it, they lost, Yeah, I think to the Spurs,
Avery Johnson, Spur, it's been a long Avery Johnson, It's
been a long time, So go on, get after it.
Thirty five times in NBA playoffs passed and now we
(15:01):
had two more to that with the Pacers and Knicks
winning both games on the opponent court to start a
conference semifinal. Has a team come back to one the
series when needing to win four to five. They've done
it five times, so certainly Boston still has an opportunity
to do as much. You would assume the NBA Champions
are a team that are plenty capable of pulling that off.
(15:24):
And I will say, as you mentioned the East Coast
and how they are dealing with this, the happiness I
speak of is this sliver that you have these two
meathead sports talk markets in Boston and New York already
built in rivalries with all of the stakes involved, the
(15:45):
Celtics arguably the biggest brand in the NBA, defending champs,
and they're taking incoming from national media about how boring
a brand of basketball they play. How this has been
the Celtics all year. They collect as Layton games, they
miss shots, it's a boring It's the Boston Celtics and
(16:06):
they are the defending champs. But once the Knicks get
a sniff, just a sniff, they all freak out.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
What's so exciting about the Knicks. Brunson's puffy face and
the effeminate Karl Anthony Towns mkill Bridges is a dog man.
He was a Phoenix sun. No one cared.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
This is going to be an actual legitimate topic that
we don't want the defending champs, the Boston Celtics in
the NBA Finals, because we would much rather have the
New York Knicks.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Do you know what the ratings will look like? You
see all the hoops that they jumped through for the Lakers. Yes,
you know now that they tried. The Knicks ownership is
is a little bit more defiant Old JB and the
straight shots man and but but they're they're still gonna
try their best.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Most definitely to bounce the Celtics from the playoffs, so
my Knicks can end up making a run. Second thing,
the hits keep coming, Lebron.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's what we have on the West Coast. Matt, here
we go the rep podcast of Lebron's podcast. Yeah, you
brought this up and it still sticks with me. I
can't get away from it. The idea that he can't
make the met Gala because of a knee injury. Unfortunately,
(17:32):
and you had me read this, and that's why it's
stuck with me and for sure on you. Unfortunately, because
of my knee injury I sustained at the end of
the season, I won't be able to attend the Met
Gala in New York tonight has so many people. That's
my favorite part right there and congratulating that meddle part
me on exclamation point. So many people have been asking
(17:56):
to congratulating beyond that's usually what happens to me just
on my way to work. Hate to miss and he
uses and which you can do it in speaking, but writing,
hate to miss an historical event. My beautiful, powerful queen
will be there holding the castle down, not my house castle,
(18:18):
as she's always done. I can't get over it.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
How how you make a public proclamation that you're skipping
the met gala a dinner, Yeah, talking to some people
sitting and being praised for your stupid outfit and act important,
he said. He claims that it was a grade to
(18:44):
mcl spring.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
That is the claim which would be and I looked
it up at the Cleveland Clinic. What is recovery from
a grade to mcl spring four to eight week recovery,
limited weight bearing, possibility of an knee brace, even crutches,
no surgery rehab four to eight weeks?
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Now, the pod that he did was shot from the
chest up, so I was not able to tell if
there was a brace or.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Tom and Jerry machines. Where could have been in an
iron lung steamer anything?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
So I don't know what in fact was going on
below the high shot of his gigantic quagmire from family
guy like jaw and his beard?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
How do you get one of those? Anyway? Is there
a way that your jaw just keeps growing and growing?
I don't know, but something uh hare he was talking
about maybybe check with the Cleveland clip. Yeah, I can
look at that up.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
What causes an inordinately large jaw to keep growing and
a middle aged man.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I don't notice a guy have an athletic prowess that
seems to the continuing and continuing and defies age. Yes
he does. As a matter of fact, here he is
saying why they lost to the Timberwolves.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
You know, we entered a season well, but like you said,
you know, when it comes to the postseason, man, matchups,
sometimes it doesn't determine how well of a regular season
you had. You know, it's the matchups. And we ran
into a damn good matchup. A team that's been battle tested,
a team that's hungry, a team that a lot of
(20:27):
a lot of youth but also experienced at the same time,
and another team that's trying to make the next step. Man,
you know, they were a worthy opponent, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Going back to the MCL, that was crap.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Thanks for finding Okay, so I'm sorry you had to
listen to that pod to track something down that was
worthwhile to play here because it's making the news. But
here's the thing about that MCL spring. He goes down
at the eight thirty nine point of the fourth quarter.
He like a bag of potatoes, like laying there like
he got freaking cracked in the knee by freaking Harding's henchman.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I've seen people shot get up faster in videos.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
He leaves the game with the Lakers down two eight
thirty nine, checks back in at seven twenty three, and
played the rest of the game. Missus a jumper with
his team down one, gets an offensive rebound, misses a
fourteen footer with his team down three, misses a three
with his team down three, makes a three to cut
the lead to two, misses a three with his team
(21:27):
down six, assists on a three pointer from Ruey to
cut the deficit to three, and with the team down six,
fowls Julius Randall to send him to the line point
being he was all over the court for seven and
a half minutes with a great two tear.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
He just couldn't feel it. Man, you call him BS
on the injury Matt per the Cleveland Clinic website again,
what is the I said, what is the instant effect
of a Grade two MCL tear m?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Immediate sharp pain in the knee. Swelling bruising will follow shortly.
Your knee will feel loose and unstable, especially when you
move or try to bear weight. You can usually walk,
but it would be painful. So you're saying this is
like lay caste lay.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Cast parder.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
Is what this is.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
If it's a grade too, he can't play basketball like
that for seven and a half minutes. Adrenaline be damned
and now listen. If this is the first instance of
it happening, then okay, maybe it's like you know what,
he's an incredibly conditioned guy. He takes care of his body.
(22:45):
Played on a broken leg, Matt, But we've seen this movie. Yes,
we know this story. Yes, there is no way in
hell that that is a grade too. Mcl tear. That
a precluded that the point of the story precluded him
from flying to New York and going to the freaking
met Gala.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Going through the motions with Lebron and his people, especially
now that he's grand old and that he forced his
son onto the team, and just going through the motions
has become quite tiresome, Harry, and very predictable. Yeah, you
know that they'll be so I was injured, there'll be
something to put him in the news. There'll be another
thing to put him in the news. Retirement, speculation, to
(23:26):
put him in their option. We're still talking about it
mea McQueen. She runs the castle, holds it down, holds
it tire at the castle. We're talking about whether or
not I'm going to take that fifty two million dollars
at forty one years old and come back to play
basketball quickly. Third thing, I had to wear it too, Okay.
I was driving home from San Luis Obispo yesterday. We
were on late listening to the Dodger game, Tim Neverett,
(23:49):
Rick Monday having a grand old time. You know, Neverett
won't talk about a no hitter like vic Rojas. No,
he did that the other night with Yamamoto did He
would not mention me, can't do that. He he did it,
can't do it. So on our air when we're out there,
we're gonna have to have a conversation with him on defense.
I don't want to, Hey, Neverett, I just want to
say here that it's not don't do that. It's not defensible.
(24:11):
So I got the and this was you know, this
is what the boss used to tell us.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
My man, they're gonna leave that Dodger game on and
then they're gonna get in their car the next day
and go to work.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
And they're gonna get up and hear something else, and they're.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Gonna have AM five to seventy LA Sports on mo
May and that's what the Dodgers are all about.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Let me guess you were listening to the late Dodger game.
You woke up and you had AM five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Got into my car to drive up to the show today,
get to the prep zone before we went on the
air at two o'clock. And who's on but uh old
j Mack with the news and he's having a little
conversation about Clippers basketball.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
Sticking with the NBA.
Speaker 10 (24:44):
The Clippers, they got bouncing Game seven, they had Kawhi,
they had James Harden. James Harden didn't really show up.
We called him Jim Harden. He had seven points in
an elimination game. So GM Lawrence Frank bizarrely expects to
run it back Colin with the Star do and he
thinks that La the Clippers that is are going to
be a free aged destination moving forward.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
We're super excited about the direction going forward.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
We're going to continue to compete at a high level,
deserving the path forward, using financial flexibility and the different
advantages that we have with our organization, with Steve t.
Lou the great City of Los Angeles be into a
dome are players. We feel we are a highly appealing
place for players to be, so make no mistake, we
(25:30):
want to contend in the present. We also have a
plan for the future. I won't take the necessary steps
to implement it.
Speaker 10 (25:35):
Looking at their salary cap breakdown, basically their top eight
guys are all back next year. None of them are
free agents. I don't know that this team can really
get over the hump and get better. Unlike the Lakers
who added Luca mid season, I don't think they're in
the same class.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
Paper Clips are not even close to the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Paper Clips And that's when it hit me.
Speaker 10 (25:56):
Pee.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
All I do is get on here and bitch and
moan about James Hard and being terrible in elimination games.
And I'm not adding anything to it. There's no spice.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Paper clip.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
Paper Clips are not even closer to the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
A paper clipt even close.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
Paper Clips are not even closer.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I mean they won the exact same number of games
fifty Each team won fifty games, went further in the
playoffs past regular season. Yeah, they went to a game
seven paper Clips, and I didn't have God, I just
didn't have the comedic sense to not call him James
hard when he plays bad.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Round here, would call him Jim.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
So a tip of the cap to our old boss
who used to tell us, my man, you hook him
in it, not with the Dodger game. Then they in
their car and next thing you know, they get stuck listening.
Sure enough, I turned that car on. I heard J
Mack with the news about the paper clips, and I
was like, hey, I want to riff on that. I
think I think the Petros and Money Show could have
a good time building on what these guys started at
(26:55):
eleven thirty.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Paper Clips are not even closer to see him right now,
standing on Manhattan, each per going like th relling good,
I did a Jim Harden and a paper clip.
Speaker 9 (27:04):
Paper clips are not even close to the lake.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
I hear him high and I hear them all, I'm sorry,
it's infuriated to hear that. We'll be back with more
on trying to piss me off. Around here, we call
him Jim James Harden had a terrible games to Heaven.
Around here, we call him Jeff Jim Harden. Damn it,
Why do I have.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
To be such a sad, pathetic local sports talk guy
without a national platform using comedy like that.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
We called him Jim Harden. He had seven points in
an elimination game.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
We call him Jim Harden.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
He had.
Speaker 9 (27:35):
We called him Jim Harden. He had seven points in
an elimination game.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
And those are your three things. Well, we have another
segment after this one a little bit longer and the
Dodgers at Arizona, the last stop of this longest, most
arduous road trip of the year. Dodgers on deck at
(28:01):
five thirty with Tim Kate's first pitch at six forty,
the Snakes versus the Dodgers and Mother's Day on AM
II seventy LA. Sports matt is always a special occasion.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
It sure is, because it's your chance to win an
experience how unique, as unique as a mother's love.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
A complimentary eighty minute massage or facial at Burke Williams,
And we gave one away today on the show. It
was our opportunity to take care of you, who could
then take care of your loved one who is a
mother maybe or maybe not. Maybe you're gonna use it
for yourself, but you can all let's.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Not quibble about label exactly. Hey, congratulations to our winner.
Unlock exclusive savings, though you can get one for your
mother right now or the mother in your life. Burke
Williams dot Com forward slash Mother's Day has all the details,
all right, Matt, your dead guy Birthday of the day,
beating out Jacob Miller. Which is the first big song
(28:58):
chosen for the show? That is the three o'clock hour
or four o'clock hour start of the Petro sand Money Show.
Jacob Miller died in a terrible, terrible car accident, but
today we'll celebrate Saul Bass always a very interesting guy
to talk about, Matt. I think we've talked about him before,
(29:18):
you or me. He would have been one hundred and
five years old today. A graphic designer like the Petro
Send Money Photoshop bandit. Maybe these are a little bit
more well known. Sorry, I'm just distracted by the Tesla
Slately Well. He made signs, Matt. He worked for all
the best film makers, first ever Auto Preminger was the
(29:42):
first guy to hire him. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese.
It's a Jewish guy from the Bronx. He studied art
at Brooklyn College, started designing prints in Hollywood in the
nineteen forties, movie posters and things like that, and some
really really cool stuff. He left his first wife and
(30:04):
married his second wife, Elaine, my wife. And what him
and Elaine did, and he did it before too, which
was create the modern title sequence. Oh, the opening title,
like the whole thing like it used to be. They'd
start a movie and they'd put the title up and
that was pretty much here we go movie. But the
fact that the title sequence Psycho Vertigo, all those Alfred
(30:30):
Hitchcock movies that would set the tone for the film,
no one had done that before him, stylishly really kind
of bringing the two together between the design of the
intro and the lettering and all that and the movie.
His title sequences have been known, like in the seven
(30:52):
year itch to outperform the movie Thesel in the nineteen eighties,
James L. Brooks, the producer, got kind of him and
his wife going again for movies. My wife had him
do Cape Fear, Goodfellas, stuff like that. But then the
graphic design Matt he designed the logo for these companies
(31:15):
and many many others. Some of us hit so closely
to our heart that I almost want to cover my sternum.
He designed the AT and T logo, the Geffen Records logo,
the Warner Entertainment logo, the Quaker Oats logo, Hannah barbera
(31:45):
Lowry's Seasoned Salt.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I mean every one of those you can picture in
your mind's eye immediately. Minota, they're all very similar. The
G for Geffen, the M for Minolta, the HB like
they're all for Wiener Snitzel. I saw you look out
the window, put your eyes on it, like, ye, there
it is.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
It is.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
I'm looking at it right now. And General Foods, General
Foods and some great movie posters, great art. He died
in nineteen ninety six at seventy five, and he won
an Oscar for a documentary film that he made, Why
a Man Creates or something like that. Saw Bass your
dead guy, Birthday of the Day.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Well you're a live guy. I think without MTV, we
assume the music video is a lost art. But with
YouTube it's still thriving. I think you just have to
seek out the video you want to watch instead of
planting your ass on the couch and watching whatever that
they do.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
They still make music video. Yeah, and even more interestingly,
they make you know, a lot of live performances there.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I am very easy, you know, but back in the day,
you got one hundred and twenty minutes on and it's like,
well but am I going to.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
See that part? Is back in the objected yourself to
the same music video so many times that you became
you know, almost it wore you down. Yeah, like almost
like a shell of yourself, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I kind of like this sledgehammer by Pete Gabriel. I
can kind of get behind this because this video is
off seated so many times. So we celebrate one of
the all time greades from the genre. Michel Gondry, a
brilliant guy, a French dude born in Versailles. Grandfather invented
one of the earliest synthesizers, so music was in his genetics.
(33:29):
Said it was the movie Les Voyage ent Barlon that
led to his filmmaking, but music was happening as well.
He was the drummer for a pretty popular French rock
and roll band called Louie Be and he directed all
of their videos, which got some MTV Europe play, and
Byork liked them so much she asked him to direct
(33:53):
her video for Human Behavior.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Ah real classic, Yes, who doesn't run through the forest
with that kind of weirdness going on? Matt none of it.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Everybody loved it. It was celebrated. B York loved it,
and basically they became partners, moving forward between them pretty much.
He did all of her videos after that, and he
had done some others before it in Spiral Carpets, Two
Worlds Collide, a big one, but the New York thing
saw him take off, and everyone wanted a piece. Kravitz,
(34:22):
Terence Trent Darby, Sinat O'Connor, Rolling Stones, He did Massive Attacks,
Protection video, Chibo motto, radio head.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Oh, I'll tell you which what he did for Shanade.
I bet you it was the Emperor's new clothes. I
don't remember. I bet you it was. I mean the
other one was just her faith. I don't remember. Oh
the nothing compares to you. But he did some big
hits too.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Foo's ever long, Kanye's heard him say he was direct
his biggest one, I would say, at least a music video.
The first time I saw it, I went, holy crap.
That's a video. He did White Stripes Fell in Love
with a Girl, which helped launch them the Lego video
that was his, and he's a stud pretty much after that.
He did all the White Stripes videos, He's done all
(35:06):
the Chemical Brothers videos. The Let Forever b was one
I think that might have won some stuff. Commercials. Won
a bunch of awards for his commercials, and there was
like a big section of his bio for his Levi's
five oh one commercial. That was the most awarded commercial
ever from whatever the commercial awards are, and it never
(35:28):
aired in the US because it was too racy. It
was set in the nineteen twenties and it was a
young man purchasing a three pack of condoms from the
drug store. Had a very interesting twist at the end.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
I just assume when they don't buy condoms in any
commercial that they're just robbed on. This guy wasn't.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
First person perspective widely hailed, and after that Charlie Kaufman
became a huge fan. So, while directors were falling all
over themselves to direct his Human Nature, met with Gondry
and they filmed that one together and then co wrote
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
This guy music video director has some not.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
So well received films after that, The Green Hornet with
seth Rogen and be kind Rewind with Jack Black and
most deaf. So he was like, I'm gonna get back
to the French stuff and did a bunch of French
films that were celebrated and in the indie type circles.
Well that's us right there, two kids sixty two years
old today, Michel Gondry.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
All right, and we'll be right back. We still got
a lot more show meet. We have got the uh
fun fact and the quick hits, and then we'll get
you to the desert where the Dodgers finish out. They're
extremely long and winding road trip Lawyers
