In fact, it's the Yeah We three Fun Fun Facts.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Final Our Fun Fact is brought to you by Concordia
University Irvine's Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration Program. It's
a fact that a coach has more influence on others
in one year than an average person does in a lifetime.
Make the most of that opportunity to impact others by
finding out more at CUI dot Edu slash coaching.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
You see the marks.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
It couldn't be anything.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
Else your final hour. Fun fact, pe we mentioned we
have commanders packers tonight. Did you know green Bay is
called now we know the cheeseheads, right, but Jesus Wisconsin.
Green Bay is the toilet paper capital of the world.
That is where the Northern Paper Mills factory is located.
(03:05):
Since nineteen oh one, quilted Northern Northern Tissue is in
green Bay. Still six thousand people employed at Northern Tissue
in green Bay today. Not just that they manufacture a
toilet paper their pee, but when Northern Tissue manufactured their
sanitary tissue, it became the first toilet paper that was splinterless.
(03:32):
Up to that point, the paper you used to wipe
your bum could give you splinters because they had not
figured out how to take that out of the wood yet.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
You know, that's pretty I would lead with that if
I was green Bay r right, the packers right.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Forget exactly when you're packing that. India with a rag
used to get splinters as well.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Interesting, well, now.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
When I was researching it, did say and this I
think I I think we kind of knew, but it said.
Prior to quilted Northern, the most common form of toilet
paper was the Sears catalog. And that's why it always
had that really thin style of paper.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You really like, you really got into this one, you
really dug in.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I really never got deep into it.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Well, you know, look, it's good that the factory was
there during the NFL draft, you know when Shador went
so late. Oh yeah, so although you know, mel Kuiper
could cry into the toilet paper. Who all right, it's
time for quick ants.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
To the ms, quick hits, I make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
The Dodgers are eighty two and sixty four. There are
three games up in the NLS. Was sixteen to play
one four in a row. They had to San Francisco
for a three game weekend series starting tomorrow versus the Giants.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Oh, Yoshi Yamama.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
What's his name?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yoshi Moto, Yoshi Nobu Yama Moto.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
What do we call him here? Because we're in the
inner circle, you call him Yama Yama? Because we heard
Brian Gomes and Rhode Island Towny and Golmer and Eric
Carros and Andrew Friedman all anointed us the pair of us,
including Tim kats Us as a trio in the inner circle,
(05:26):
because all three of them called him Yama to us,
pretty cool, right, we're on the We're in the inner circle.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
I don't know if it's really that Yama and Justin Verlander?
Who is still going? Is the pitching matchup?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Today?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Is nine to eleven, twenty four years ago when America
was attacked. For those who are young, everybody in the
world was at a standstill. There was no sports for
a week. The Dodgers resumed their season six days after
the attack. September seventeenth, two thousand and one, versus the
Padres at Dodger Stadium in a time of need and
(06:00):
needing a voice to unify, it was the Great Vin
Scully welcoming Dodgers baseball bag.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
Good evening, and welcome to Dodger Stadium. All of us
have experienced a litany of emotions, whether it would be shocked, disbelief,
and horror, followed by grief, mourning, and anger. All of
us indeed have lost a lot. We've lost thousands of lives.
We have lost some of our self confidence, we have
(06:27):
lost some of our freedom, and certainly we have lost
a way of life. The President of the United States
has said it is time to go back to work,
and so, despite a heavy heart, baseball gets up out
of the dirt, brushes itself off, and will follow his command,
hoping in some small way to inspire the nation to
(06:48):
do the same. All of the ballplayers in the major
leagues are wearing the American flag out of patriotism, yes,
out of love of country, yes, but more so out
of duty and of courage, and to pronounce a national
firmness of will. Will God bless us in our efforts,
(07:09):
God bless them.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
What do we miss that?
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, I missed that, guy.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
I was thinking about that yesterday, just the feeling around
the country we had and that week after and how odd,
you know, just how different it was than anything we
had ever experienced before it And truly since.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
That's the truth.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Yeah, a lot of people are too young to remember it,
you know, And but we are not. Uh USC is
two and oh they start Big Ten play on Saturday
at Purdue College Football whip around tomorrow from where Logan, Utah.
Logan in Utah, which is north of Salt Lake City.
(07:57):
Uh U c l A oh and two hosts New
Mexico tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, they got the Friday night or.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Five. I think only five dollars to get it.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I just only five people are going to be there.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Well, there is the two high school games that has
been night.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
It does beg the question, I mean, at what point
do you just wheel in some temporary seating and start
playing these games at Drake and get them on campus
and see if you can cultivate some energy there.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Yeah, I mean add some seating, right, It couldn't be
that much to build Drake up right, build a cool stadium.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
There instead of sixty thousand empty seats.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
I'll tell you you know where that did happen was Tulane.
Tulane was playing in the Superdome, which is a pro
football venue. Yeah, gigantic, and they it just wasn't a thing,
and they built it on campus stadium and Tulane football
is pretty good now they just ask USC.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
It certainly helped, There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
How much you say tickets were going for tomorrow night,
Petros five dollars, Well, a couple of days ago, they
were nine.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
They were nine a couple of days ago. Are you
looking at it right now? Kate, let's split the difference
seven seven right now, and the line has changed. It's
come down to half a point fourteen and a half
a Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
You got you know what you got? You got? You
got some sharps on it.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
We got some sharks that like the that like the
howl of that lobo.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
I don't think New Mexico's as bad as people think.
I don't think this guy's a bad coach.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
And I think UCLA is worse than people think.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Well, we thought that last year too, turned it around.
It turned it around a little bit. They have a
talented quarterback, but times aren't good. There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Matt.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I don't think Steve Bomber is going to take a
text from Ramona Shelbourne anytime soon.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
No, the story gets more and more interesting, and it's
now a two horse race. Pablo Torri ESPN are jockeying
to own this story. Yesterday it was ESPN that tried
to claim ownership. You mentioned Ramona had to sit down
with Balmer tore today in the Kawhi Leonard Aspiration, that is,
(10:04):
the company that paid him some thirty million bucks to
do nothing saga. According to Pablo, there was a one
point seventy five million dollar payday that was running late
to Kawhi Leonard. Dennis Wong, owns one percent of the
Clippers and was Steve Balmer's college roommate at that moment,
made a roughly two million dollar investment in Aspiration. Wog
(10:26):
reportedly made this investment on December sixth, twenty twenty two,
when it was clear that Aspiration was running out of money.
Per Tory, on December fifteenth, Leonard was paid one point
seventy five million dollars by Aspiration through his endorsement deal.
That same day, the company laid off twenty percent of
(10:50):
its employees. Seems as though a little uh one point
seventy five due two million comes in from a guy
that owns one percent of the Clippers and is tight
with Balmer, and nine days later Kawhi gets his one
point seventy five millia. This is this is a tough
one for Adam Silver. I think it's a coincidence, because
(11:13):
you don't, I don't.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
How do you punish the Clippers? Remember with the whole
Minnesota thing, they took away a first round I think
two first round draft picks for that little backdoor deal.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
With Joe Smith.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
That was just like a verbal Hey, we're gonna We're
gonna give you this next year if you signed for
this this year.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
That's all they did.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
This is an extra twenty eight million bucks that doesn't
go against the luxury tax that would have been taxed
at a three hundred percent rate and divvied up amongst
the other twenty nine owners. It kept their salary cap
free so they could go out and use their mid
level exemption like this is like you don't get a
pick for ten years and we find you fifty million
dollars kind of stuff. If they decide to pull that lever.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
It didn't sound like they're gonna by Who's to say
it is a sordid deal. I'm to say, well, yeah,
we better wait till the nighttime. Hey, do you have
some NFL hardbusiness stuff?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Matt, Oh, we do.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
That's right, Jim Harbaugh, because it is certainly a showdown
that you're familiar with Pete. You called it a few
different times Chargers Vegas Raiders Monday Night three and a
half point favorite for the Bolts. But Jim Harbaugh was
asked by the assembled media during his presser about Pete
Carroll and their relationship, and yeah, this is how that went.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
You know.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
I always think that had I ever played, you know,
for him, you know, on one of his teams, because
he was coaching when I was playing, and or Arizona
staff once I got into coaching, I bet we would
have been I think, really good friends. He learned a
lot from him just just watching him. But he's as
(12:56):
always been on the other side. When I was a player,
he was a defensive coordinator, head coach somewhere, and uh,
and then when I was coaching, we were you know,
trying to gage each other's eyes out, you know. I
mean it's like in the competitive spirit of that, but yeah,
it's competition at the highest level. I mean it's what
he's all about. And uh, pretty enthusiastic too. I've noticed, uh,
(13:22):
which is just nothing but respect for that. You know,
same same person, same coach every day. Been good interactions,
you know when you're just not out there like uh,
you know, you know that sort of way. Like I said,
I think we would have been probably pretty pretty good friends.
I'm not on his Christmas card list.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, it seemed like he handled that well certainly.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
I think, Uh, coach has always taken the respect the
heck out of them, incredible guys over there approach to
every single one of his opponents.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
But Pete is not as no, hey, you were there
that day, thanks somewhat went down. I was part of
the broadcast. Yes you are.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
We will be back.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
We are going to put ourselves out there with Billy Zane,
a great actor with a great movie coming out Walton
with Brandos September nineteenth, very critically acclaimed. And we got
Billy Zane, Greek American actor from Chicago who knew.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Make AM five to seventy or your favorite AM five
seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio app
using Apple car Play or Android Auto road Trip all
summer with LA.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Sports Petro some money, AM five seventy LA Sports Live
everywhere on your iHeart radio app. No Dodger Baseball tonight,
but they will be back against the hated rival San
Francisco Giants up in San Francisco. That'll be a seven
to fifteen first pitch tonight. Though, a reason why we
running our earliest because we got the NFL here seventy
Eli sports. You got Commanders Versus Packers kicking off at
five pm and on almost any other station and any
(15:07):
other show, Peede, that would be the centerpiece of your
great sports talk day on a Thursday.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
But Petrosen Money show today, No, No, Matt.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
We've had our dallions is with great actors and thespians
over the years. Joe Mantana, Kevin Bacon comes to mind,
the guy that played Perseus and clashed the Titans, Harry Hamlin.
But Billy's Ay, Now that's scraping the heavens. He's got
(15:37):
a new movie out, Waltzing with Brando, where he plays
Marlon Brando, based on the play Waltzing with Brando. Got
Dreyfus in there.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
We love Dreyfus, Love Dreyfus, CIVICX Forever.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
The Napoleon, Dynamite guy, John Heater. Nobody brings it like
Billy Zay. The Titanic, the Phantom, and the voice in
the back of our heads always tells us you should
listen to your friend Billy zaying he's a good guy.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
He's trying to help you out.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
On the Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline, it is
Greek American actor, and they say it is uncanny his
portrayal of Marlon Brando in this film The Great Billy Zay.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Hi Billy, How are you? Thanks for doing it?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Dress in money? What's Chagan? How are you?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Great?
Speaker 7 (16:34):
Pleasure?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
We're doing Okay? We love Marlon Brando around here. I'm
not sure.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Yeah, I'm not sure exactly. I just watched the movie
he was in, one of his I think his last
movie with Robert de Niro, and uh and uh they're
like thieves. But uh and he looked kind of like
you look in this movie. But I mean, you've been
doing this a long time. What's it like playing another actor,
especially an iconic one like Marlon Brando?
Speaker 7 (17:03):
It's, you know, by all means a daunting pursuit. But
the only way to do it is to approach it
completely counterintuitively. And the way he would, which was to
not really give a damn to this kind of you know,
cruise and be nimble and the improvise and not be
overwhelmed by the task. I think we nailed it.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Though this is a specific slice of time and for
people that think it's maybe you know, encapsulates his entire life,
his career as an actor. That's not necessarily what this is.
Share with us kind of the idea of what this
story is. Why it's such a compelling story because it
certainly does seem fascinating that this actually happened to one
of the biggest stars on earth.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Correct, thank you. It's not a cradle to grave biopic.
It focuses on a five year time span between like
late sixties, early seventies and some of his most seminal
cinema that a tango book. Really, it's about what's going
on behind the scenes for this man who was in
his real his happy place, which is why I love it.
It's a reclaiming of his legacy from the trauma drama
(18:06):
that befell him so much later in life. This is
a period he was living in Tahiti, basically took off
from Hollywood and had it in his head. After remember
this was like Hollywood's first activist right walk, the Walk
for civil rights, Indigenous rights. No one was doing this stuff.
He always put his money where his mouth was, and
(18:26):
he decided to forage the sustainable design, the ecological movement,
which was a non starter. There was nothing going on here,
and this story covers his unique relationship with John Heater's character,
who plays an architect that he hires to figure out
sustainable design and how to get power and water to
his island back in you know, nineteen sixty nine, hemorrhaging
(18:49):
all of his money and having to go to work
to pay for it, and what were those jobs the Godfather,
you know, things that he probably wouldn't have done had
he not made it. It's crazy, you know. Of course,
these kind of strange footnotes are these most seminal pillars
and our collective memory of cinema, and they happen to
be a means to an end, and that's what this
(19:10):
is about. It's a funny, charming, kind of buddy picture
on a beautiful island. It's kind of crazy, it's cool.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Billy's saying with us as we're talking about Waltein with Brando.
Everybody's talked about a Petro set it on the way
in there, Billy that the resemblance is uncanny. When when
you're an actor and you're coming on are do people
tell you that you bear a resemblance to him? Do
they say you look just like Brando? Is this the
wizardry of makeup? Kind of how to cause it is like,
(19:40):
it's crazy when you see the trailer, it is like
watching Brandow. And I'm sure a lot of that has
to do with your acting and mannerisms as well.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Of course, thank you. It's I mean, I've heard it
all my life, you know. But and this was a
period I've always was fascinated by, So it was just
perfect timing to be able to step in and make
the film. The writer to to Bill Fishman was an
old friend. We had made the film Posse together in
the nineties and he had done this great adaptation of
(20:07):
the memoirs of this architect brin Or Judge, and we
reunited and collaborated and produced it together and brought on
Dean bloxham Our our executive producer, as well, and we
just we just hit the ground running. I you know
that as far as the look goes, our makeup team
was shortlisted for an Oscar. They're incredible. I had the
(20:27):
exact molds and the kind of pieces that he had
during the Godfather makeup. But most of it I'm wearing
is just the nose bump in the wig, you know,
And I guess it seems to land and resonates shy.
It's crazy so much so when there was you know,
articles about Marlin, be it his birthday or other things,
they would post pictures of me claiming it was him.
It was so it was kind of ridiculous. Yeah, I'm
(20:48):
honored and flattered that. You know, the response has been
so great and supportive by the public for an They're
eager September nineteenth. You can all see it in theaters,
So run, don't walk.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
One and only Billy Zay. We're happy to have him
on the show.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Straight out of Chicago and the Greek Orthodox Church, which
we appreciate around here on the Petros and Money Show. Yeah,
Billy Vassili, I should say, did anybody ever call you?
Did anybody ever call you Vassili coming up?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Or was it always Billy No?
Speaker 7 (21:24):
I got I got a Blacky move.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
We are a we are a sports show, Billy, and
we're your Dodger station, A prolific actor like yourself, a
man of the arts. You know, sometimes you guys don't
delve into the sports world. Did you grow up a
big sports fan in the Chicago Land area.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
I loved going to Soldiers Field as a kid and
getting a Billy Goldberger afterwards. We can escape to Greek
Chase or two. You know that was the experience as
I remember freezing my butt off in Soldiers and like
marching down to Michigan Avenue and getting getting a burger
at the Chie. You know, like that was that was
the Chicago moment. Or down to Greek Town to warm
(22:04):
up with some ig lemonos soup. But yeah, you know
here's San Cubsan uh good times the but loving the Dodgers.
Got to love that. You gotta go. I've been there
since I was eighteen, so I can't say I'm not
a Dodger.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Stand the We kind of have this vision, right, you know, billy'saying,
incredible actor that there's just at least it did you know,
don't don't be humble, share it because I'm assuming this
is the case.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Are there every day?
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Is there something for you to read and decide whether
or not you want to do be a TV or
voiceover or films. It seems like you're at a place
in your career with what you've done that that you
can decide I'm going to do this, I'm not going
to do this.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I don't have to work. I kind of want to work.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
You know that sort of thing is that what life
is like when you establish yourself and you have the
resume that you have.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
It is, but it's also how you start it right.
And in my opinion, I attribute any success I've had
to being a and understanding that this blessed job is
a means to an end. And you know, I'm a
lock pick as a result, you know, head to state,
captains of industry, whatever. Everyone loves a damn movie. The
question is what you do with it. And that's where
(23:15):
I connected with Brando. It's one thing to look like him,
but I was surprised to discover how the level that
I don't know I understood personally and then I discovered
about him was how he leveraged his position in celebrity
and his communications skill set. For some reason, these things
(23:35):
landed early with me, and again because I connect with
that and try to make you know, functional media when
I can to, you know, at least inspire or drop
the shoulders or create a sense of an expanded state.
You know, I not contribute to the too much trauma
out there when possible, I you know, and in this movie,
(23:59):
I feel I'm very proud of the performance, mind you,
but as a producer I'm really proud because this movie
is like going on vacation to Tahiti. It's highly refreshing
and confuses people who are expecting, you know, vengeance play
or bludgeoning or trauma drama, sociopathic behavior disguised as heroics.
You're kind of like, huh, what's wrong with this picture?
(24:20):
And it's what's right with it, which is you enjoy it.
You got to smile on your laughing, you leave better
for it, and that I'm honestly really most proud about.
We've put something out. It's a six year labor of
love and it just makes you feel good and that
I'm thrilled by, to be honest. So that's what to
(24:41):
answer your question. Yes, you arrive at this place in time,
but understanding that that's the brass ring early on is
and getting to achieve it as the reward and at
least connecting with that organizing principle is what I believe
allows for it.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
You didn't spend six years until he did you, Billy?
How long did it take?
Speaker 7 (25:04):
It's not if only No, it's you know, we started
during COVID and it and it broke down. It's drop off. Sorry,
I'm getting I'm sitting at the airport at GfK about
to fly back to la being very very understanding. Thank you.
So we started uh and we had to shut down
(25:24):
for COVID obviously we couldn't get on the island. And
then then it opened up and we got you know,
we're able to go in. It's a process, any one
of these movies. I mean, it's listen, it's an independent film.
We were punching above our weight. I'm so grateful that
the public have been supporting it, and the press for
that matter, in such a vociferous way and really carried us.
(25:48):
And this is you can't game that, right, Hollywood tries to.
You can't buy that. It's been so genuine and it
hasn't been lost on us. We're so grateful for how
it's been received, even when we're teasing it with images
or behind the scenes. And I think it's because again
I go back to that intention of wanting to just
(26:09):
again do him a solid to the people of Tahitia
solid we're talking about. You know, he was ostensibly the
godfather of the environmentalist movement right, and half of the
audience who might not know Brando the end of the
youth I would certainly care about, you know, breathing the
air and clean water. Are going to learn about whose
shoulders this stuff was built upon, and the other half
(26:30):
who know Brando have no idea about this story, and
they're going to hopefully meet in the middle and have
a damn good time doing it.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Yesterday a red carpet with DiCaprio. Today the Petros and
Money Show, as he's getting ready to board a fly.

(29:43):
is oh, Henry one hundred and sixty three today. William
Sidney Porter he wrote a short story and then he
wrote like three hundred and eighty two more. A writer
from North Carolina, born during the Civil War. He was
(30:03):
a pharmacist at first and did odd jobs. Worked at
the cigar store in the Driscoll Hotel in Austin, Texas.
Met of that hotel still there. He is witty, he
is musical, He was artistic. He courted a rich girl
(30:26):
who had tuberculosis. Yeah, I married her and they had
two kids. One made it. And then he was working
at a bank in Austin and published a weekly periodical.
Have you ever heard of the rolling Stone?
Speaker 7 (30:43):
Man?
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I'm getting old, you know, I forget something years before
it familiar.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
He had the real rolling stone. But in eighteen ninety
five he was charged with embezzlement after an audit of
the bank, and before the trial, he fled to Honduras, Honduras,
which is a tough place the Mosquito coast. Brother He
started to write a little bit more there. In a
(31:11):
short story he wrote when he was in Honduras, he
coined the term Banana Republic. Oh He came back when
he found out his wife was dying and cared for
her until her death, and then served his five year sentence.
Got out on good behavior, but while he was in
he started writing short stories under the pseudonym O. Henry,
(31:34):
and he also served as the prison's druggist. He got
out early, moved in with his daughter in Pittsburgh and
then to New York to be closer to his publishers,
and wrote almost four hundred short stories in that time,
a story a week for the New York World Sunday magazine.
He was very, very famous, often panned by critics, beloved
(31:56):
by the public. Twists, naturalism, those were his specialty. OH
Henry was short for Oliver Henry, and now the O.
Henry Award is given out annually for outstanding short stories.
His house is owned by the Texas State University System
(32:17):
and a federal building is named after him as well.
He's buried in North Carolina and people leave a dollar
eighty five all the time on his grave because of
the one of his famous stories, The Gift of the
Magi you know, where the girl cuts her hair to
(32:38):
sell to get her husband a watch chain and her
husband sells the watch to get his wife a big
hair thing, and people leave a dollar eighty five in
change on his grave because that's all the couple had
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
It is dedicated to the given to the local library.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
Beautiful.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
He died in nineteen ten and only forty seven years old.
He was a drinker.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Your Live guy. Birthday of the dayp is British News.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
It's time for PMS brands.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Much News, United Kingdom, English News.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
It's time for British News.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Cheerio's straight get out.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
So interesting relationship that I have with this band Richard
Ashcroft celebrating a birthday today, I want a copy. When
I was a college student, I was, I believe I
was a sophomore at Pepperdine and I used to listen
to ca CRW This Morning become as Eclectic all the
time in the dorm and uh, they were giving away
copies of this new band, The Verve. That's how old
(33:35):
I am. Their debut album was Storm in Heaven, and
so I call in there like, we got five copies
to give away if you're a subscriber, which I was. Hi,
I'm a subscriber, and I got a copy sent to
me about a week later, had never heard the verb before,
and it became and I don't know if it's because
I love the it's a great record, but it became
my favorite CD. So by the time, well, I mean,
(33:57):
you wanted it a context, That's what I mean. And
I don't know if I loved it or the fact
that I didn't really win anything up to that point
except for a pair of tickets to the Chicago Blitz
when I was in like fourth grade. But I became
a huge Verve fan. So when Bittersweet Symphony came around,
you know how what an a hole.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
You know I can be? I was like, you, you idiots.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
SPAN's been around for three albums already, you losers. Who
do you think you are?
Speaker 3 (34:21):
I listened the morning becomes a colectic come on door.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
So.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
Dicky Ashcroft, born in Lancashire, working class father died suddenly
when he was eleven, said he used music as his escape.
He went to up Holland High School. His palse Simon Jones,
Peter Salisbury, Nick McCabe and Simon Tong, also at Upholland
High School, would go on to form the Verve.
Speaker 7 (34:44):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
He was a heck of a soccer player. It almost
didn't happen. He was part of the junior academy for
Wigan Athletic. Thought he was gonna be become a professional,
but then he just kind of stalled out and the
Verve was there. First gig was a friend's birthday party
in nineteen ninety nine. They had already created buzzer around
the UK, signed a record deal ninety two, She's a
Superstar Charts and they put out an EP called The Verve.
(35:09):
Nmy loved it. UK radio, indie radio dug it. College
radio was just getting into it, and John Lecky signs
on to produce the full length album Lecky of Stone Roses,
Stone Roses Fame. Their first single blue Really It's part
of this record, really really good record. Slide Away was
the big college hit and I was playing that on
(35:30):
the KMBU. Oh man, did I play the hell out
of that? I was like, you idiots don't know the Vervar,
but you will. They're electric Smashing Pumpkins were big fans.
They took him out as support for Simeon's Dream. They
got on Lollapalooza. Ashcroft nearly drank himself to death here
in the States. He said, the US nearly killed us.
(35:53):
The Verve became Noel Gallagher's favorite band. He dedicated the
song Cast No Shadow to Richard, and then Richard dedicated
a Northern Soul back to Gallagher, and Oasis was then
on the path of becoming the biggest band in the world.
The verb kind of stuck in their critical Darlene mid
charting indie world appreciating, but commercial world indifference. So they
(36:15):
broke up in ninety six, Ashcroft saying he wasn't happy,
but they convinced him to come back. And it's a
good thing they did, because that's when they would put
together urban hymns, which had this one Lucky Man and
of course Bittersweet Symphony, one of the biggest songs of
the year. In nineteen ninety seven, the UK was the
biggest song of the year. Sad thing people may not know.
(36:37):
Of course, you know, the strings at the start came
from the last time, from the Rolling Stones, and Ashcroft said,
we cleared it with them, like we cleared the sample.
And when it came out and became such a huge hit,
Keith and Mick said, you didn't clear this length of
a sample. We thought it was going to be four
seconds or less, and they took him to court, and
(36:58):
they took one hundred person of the royalties whoa yes,
complete a holes. Ashcroft did not make a single cent
off of Bittersweet Symphony when they sold the song due
it was at VW. They sold the to some car company.
Mick and Keith wrote Ashcroft a check for one hundred
and seventy five grand and he donated it all to
(37:19):
charity and told him to pound Sanduh.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
He did solo for a while.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
They broke up in ninety nine and they got back
together a little while ago, married to the keyboardist of
Spiritualized Kate Radley. Two sons, Richard Ashcroft musician.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Last week, I mean yesterday we had you, you know,
remembering your time the real land.
Speaker 2 (37:41):

for the final Our Fun Fast.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
In fact, it's the Yeah We three Fun Fun Facts.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Final Our Fun Fact is brought to you by Concordia
University Irvine's Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration Program. It's
a fact that a coach has more influence on others
in one year than an average person does in a lifetime.
Make the most of that opportunity to impact others by
finding out more at CUI dot Edu slash coaching.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
You see the marks.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
It couldn't be anything.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
Else your final hour. Fun fact, pe we mentioned we
have commanders packers tonight. Did you know green Bay is
called now we know the cheeseheads, right, but Jesus Wisconsin.
Green Bay is the toilet paper capital of the world.
That is where the Northern Paper Mills factory is located.
(03:05):
Since nineteen oh one, quilted Northern Northern Tissue is in
green Bay. Still six thousand people employed at Northern Tissue
in green Bay today. Not just that they manufacture a
toilet paper their pee, but when Northern Tissue manufactured their
sanitary tissue, it became the first toilet paper that was splinterless.
(03:32):
Up to that point, the paper you used to wipe
your bum could give you splinters because they had not
figured out how to take that out of the wood yet.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
You know, that's pretty I would lead with that if
I was green Bay r right, the packers right.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Forget exactly when you're packing that. India with a rag
used to get splinters as well.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Interesting, well, now.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
When I was researching it, did say and this I
think I I think we kind of knew, but it said.
Prior to quilted Northern, the most common form of toilet
paper was the Sears catalog. And that's why it always
had that really thin style of paper.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You really like, you really got into this one, you
really dug in.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I really never got deep into it.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Well, you know, look, it's good that the factory was
there during the NFL draft, you know when Shador went
so late. Oh yeah, so although you know, mel Kuiper
could cry into the toilet paper. Who all right, it's
time for quick ants.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
To the ms, quick hits, I make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
The Dodgers are eighty two and sixty four. There are
three games up in the NLS. Was sixteen to play
one four in a row. They had to San Francisco
for a three game weekend series starting tomorrow versus the Giants.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Oh, Yoshi Yamama.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
What's his name?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yoshi Moto, Yoshi Nobu Yama Moto.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
What do we call him here? Because we're in the
inner circle, you call him Yama Yama? Because we heard
Brian Gomes and Rhode Island Towny and Golmer and Eric
Carros and Andrew Friedman all anointed us the pair of us,
including Tim kats Us as a trio in the inner circle,
(05:26):
because all three of them called him Yama to us,
pretty cool, right, we're on the We're in the inner circle.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
I don't know if it's really that Yama and Justin Verlander?
Who is still going? Is the pitching matchup?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Today?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Is nine to eleven, twenty four years ago when America
was attacked. For those who are young, everybody in the
world was at a standstill. There was no sports for
a week. The Dodgers resumed their season six days after
the attack. September seventeenth, two thousand and one, versus the
Padres at Dodger Stadium in a time of need and
(06:00):
needing a voice to unify, it was the Great Vin
Scully welcoming Dodgers baseball bag.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
Good evening, and welcome to Dodger Stadium. All of us
have experienced a litany of emotions, whether it would be shocked, disbelief,
and horror, followed by grief, mourning, and anger. All of
us indeed have lost a lot. We've lost thousands of lives.
We have lost some of our self confidence, we have
(06:27):
lost some of our freedom, and certainly we have lost
a way of life. The President of the United States
has said it is time to go back to work,
and so, despite a heavy heart, baseball gets up out
of the dirt, brushes itself off, and will follow his command,
hoping in some small way to inspire the nation to
(06:48):
do the same. All of the ballplayers in the major
leagues are wearing the American flag out of patriotism, yes,
out of love of country, yes, but more so out
of duty and of courage, and to pronounce a national
firmness of will. Will God bless us in our efforts,
(07:09):
God bless them.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
What do we miss that?
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, I missed that, guy.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
I was thinking about that yesterday, just the feeling around
the country we had and that week after and how odd,
you know, just how different it was than anything we
had ever experienced before it And truly since.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
That's the truth.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Yeah, a lot of people are too young to remember it,
you know, And but we are not. Uh USC is
two and oh they start Big Ten play on Saturday
at Purdue College Football whip around tomorrow from where Logan, Utah.
Logan in Utah, which is north of Salt Lake City.
(07:57):
Uh U c l A oh and two hosts New
Mexico tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, they got the Friday night or.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Five. I think only five dollars to get it.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I just only five people are going to be there.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Well, there is the two high school games that has
been night.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
It does beg the question, I mean, at what point
do you just wheel in some temporary seating and start
playing these games at Drake and get them on campus
and see if you can cultivate some energy there.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Yeah, I mean add some seating, right, It couldn't be
that much to build Drake up right, build a cool stadium.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
There instead of sixty thousand empty seats.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
I'll tell you you know where that did happen was Tulane.
Tulane was playing in the Superdome, which is a pro
football venue. Yeah, gigantic, and they it just wasn't a thing,
and they built it on campus stadium and Tulane football
is pretty good now they just ask USC.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
It certainly helped, There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
How much you say tickets were going for tomorrow night,
Petros five dollars, Well, a couple of days ago, they
were nine.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
They were nine a couple of days ago. Are you
looking at it right now? Kate, let's split the difference
seven seven right now, and the line has changed. It's
come down to half a point fourteen and a half
a Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
You got you know what you got? You got? You
got some sharps on it.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
We got some sharks that like the that like the
howl of that lobo.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
I don't think New Mexico's as bad as people think.
I don't think this guy's a bad coach.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
And I think UCLA is worse than people think.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Well, we thought that last year too, turned it around.
It turned it around a little bit. They have a
talented quarterback, but times aren't good. There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Matt.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I don't think Steve Bomber is going to take a
text from Ramona Shelbourne anytime soon.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
No, the story gets more and more interesting, and it's
now a two horse race. Pablo Torri ESPN are jockeying
to own this story. Yesterday it was ESPN that tried
to claim ownership. You mentioned Ramona had to sit down
with Balmer tore today in the Kawhi Leonard Aspiration, that is,
(10:04):
the company that paid him some thirty million bucks to
do nothing saga. According to Pablo, there was a one
point seventy five million dollar payday that was running late
to Kawhi Leonard. Dennis Wong, owns one percent of the
Clippers and was Steve Balmer's college roommate at that moment,
made a roughly two million dollar investment in Aspiration. Wog
(10:26):
reportedly made this investment on December sixth, twenty twenty two,
when it was clear that Aspiration was running out of money.
Per Tory, on December fifteenth, Leonard was paid one point
seventy five million dollars by Aspiration through his endorsement deal.
That same day, the company laid off twenty percent of
(10:50):
its employees. Seems as though a little uh one point
seventy five due two million comes in from a guy
that owns one percent of the Clippers and is tight
with Balmer, and nine days later Kawhi gets his one
point seventy five millia. This is this is a tough
one for Adam Silver. I think it's a coincidence, because
(11:13):
you don't, I don't.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
How do you punish the Clippers? Remember with the whole
Minnesota thing, they took away a first round I think
two first round draft picks for that little backdoor deal.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
With Joe Smith.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
That was just like a verbal Hey, we're gonna We're
gonna give you this next year if you signed for
this this year.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
That's all they did.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
This is an extra twenty eight million bucks that doesn't
go against the luxury tax that would have been taxed
at a three hundred percent rate and divvied up amongst
the other twenty nine owners. It kept their salary cap
free so they could go out and use their mid
level exemption like this is like you don't get a
pick for ten years and we find you fifty million
dollars kind of stuff. If they decide to pull that lever.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
It didn't sound like they're gonna by Who's to say
it is a sordid deal. I'm to say, well, yeah,
we better wait till the nighttime. Hey, do you have
some NFL hardbusiness stuff?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Matt, Oh, we do.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
That's right, Jim Harbaugh, because it is certainly a showdown
that you're familiar with Pete. You called it a few
different times Chargers Vegas Raiders Monday Night three and a
half point favorite for the Bolts. But Jim Harbaugh was
asked by the assembled media during his presser about Pete
Carroll and their relationship, and yeah, this is how that went.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
You know.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
I always think that had I ever played, you know,
for him, you know, on one of his teams, because
he was coaching when I was playing, and or Arizona
staff once I got into coaching, I bet we would
have been I think, really good friends. He learned a
lot from him just just watching him. But he's as
(12:56):
always been on the other side. When I was a player,
he was a defensive coordinator, head coach somewhere, and uh,
and then when I was coaching, we were you know,
trying to gage each other's eyes out, you know. I
mean it's like in the competitive spirit of that, but yeah,
it's competition at the highest level. I mean it's what
he's all about. And uh, pretty enthusiastic too. I've noticed, uh,
(13:22):
which is just nothing but respect for that. You know,
same same person, same coach every day. Been good interactions,
you know when you're just not out there like uh,
you know, you know that sort of way. Like I said,
I think we would have been probably pretty pretty good friends.
I'm not on his Christmas card list.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, it seemed like he handled that well certainly.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
I think, Uh, coach has always taken the respect the
heck out of them, incredible guys over there approach to
every single one of his opponents.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
But Pete is not as no, hey, you were there
that day, thanks somewhat went down. I was part of
the broadcast. Yes you are.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
We will be back.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
We are going to put ourselves out there with Billy Zane,
a great actor with a great movie coming out Walton
with Brandos September nineteenth, very critically acclaimed. And we got
Billy Zane, Greek American actor from Chicago who knew.

but they will be back against the hated rival San
Francisco Giants up in San Francisco. That'll be a seven

Eli sports. You got Commanders Versus Packers kicking off at
five pm and on almost any other station and any
(15:07):
other show, Peede, that would be the centerpiece of your
great sports talk day on a Thursday.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
But Petrosen Money show today, No, No, Matt.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
We've had our dallions is with great actors and thespians
over the years. Joe Mantana, Kevin Bacon comes to mind,
the guy that played Perseus and clashed the Titans, Harry Hamlin.
But Billy's Ay, Now that's scraping the heavens. He's got
(15:37):
a new movie out, Waltzing with Brando, where he plays
Marlon Brando, based on the play Waltzing with Brando. Got
Dreyfus in there.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
We love Dreyfus, Love Dreyfus, CIVICX Forever.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
The Napoleon, Dynamite guy, John Heater. Nobody brings it like
Billy Zay. The Titanic, the Phantom, and the voice in
the back of our heads always tells us you should
listen to your friend Billy zaying he's a good guy.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
He's trying to help you out.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
On the Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline, it is
Greek American actor, and they say it is uncanny his
portrayal of Marlon Brando in this film The Great Billy Zay.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Hi Billy, How are you? Thanks for doing it?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Dress in money? What's Chagan? How are you?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Great?
Speaker 7 (16:34):
Pleasure?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
We're doing Okay? We love Marlon Brando around here. I'm
not sure.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Yeah, I'm not sure exactly. I just watched the movie
he was in, one of his I think his last
movie with Robert de Niro, and uh and uh they're
like thieves. But uh and he looked kind of like
you look in this movie. But I mean, you've been
doing this a long time. What's it like playing another actor,
especially an iconic one like Marlon Brando?
Speaker 7 (17:03):
It's, you know, by all means a daunting pursuit. But
the only way to do it is to approach it
completely counterintuitively. And the way he would, which was to
not really give a damn to this kind of you know,
cruise and be nimble and the improvise and not be
overwhelmed by the task. I think we nailed it.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Though this is a specific slice of time and for
people that think it's maybe you know, encapsulates his entire life,
his career as an actor. That's not necessarily what this is.
Share with us kind of the idea of what this
story is. Why it's such a compelling story because it
certainly does seem fascinating that this actually happened to one
of the biggest stars on earth.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Correct, thank you. It's not a cradle to grave biopic.
It focuses on a five year time span between like
late sixties, early seventies and some of his most seminal
cinema that a tango book. Really, it's about what's going
on behind the scenes for this man who was in
his real his happy place, which is why I love it.
It's a reclaiming of his legacy from the trauma drama
(18:06):
that befell him so much later in life. This is
a period he was living in Tahiti, basically took off
from Hollywood and had it in his head. After remember
this was like Hollywood's first activist right walk, the Walk
for civil rights, Indigenous rights. No one was doing this stuff.
He always put his money where his mouth was, and
(18:26):
he decided to forage the sustainable design, the ecological movement,
which was a non starter. There was nothing going on here,
and this story covers his unique relationship with John Heater's character,
who plays an architect that he hires to figure out
sustainable design and how to get power and water to
his island back in you know, nineteen sixty nine, hemorrhaging
(18:49):
all of his money and having to go to work
to pay for it, and what were those jobs the Godfather,
you know, things that he probably wouldn't have done had
he not made it. It's crazy, you know. Of course,
these kind of strange footnotes are these most seminal pillars
and our collective memory of cinema, and they happen to
be a means to an end, and that's what this
(19:10):
is about. It's a funny, charming, kind of buddy picture
on a beautiful island. It's kind of crazy, it's cool.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Billy's saying with us as we're talking about Waltein with Brando.
Everybody's talked about a Petro set it on the way
in there, Billy that the resemblance is uncanny. When when
you're an actor and you're coming on are do people
tell you that you bear a resemblance to him? Do
they say you look just like Brando? Is this the
wizardry of makeup? Kind of how to cause it is like,
(19:40):
it's crazy when you see the trailer, it is like
watching Brandow. And I'm sure a lot of that has
to do with your acting and mannerisms as well.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Of course, thank you. It's I mean, I've heard it
all my life, you know. But and this was a
period I've always was fascinated by, So it was just
perfect timing to be able to step in and make
the film. The writer to to Bill Fishman was an
old friend. We had made the film Posse together in
the nineties and he had done this great adaptation of
(20:07):
the memoirs of this architect brin Or Judge, and we
reunited and collaborated and produced it together and brought on
Dean bloxham Our our executive producer, as well, and we
just we just hit the ground running. I you know
that as far as the look goes, our makeup team
was shortlisted for an Oscar. They're incredible. I had the
(20:27):
exact molds and the kind of pieces that he had
during the Godfather makeup. But most of it I'm wearing
is just the nose bump in the wig, you know,
And I guess it seems to land and resonates shy.
It's crazy so much so when there was you know,
articles about Marlin, be it his birthday or other things,
they would post pictures of me claiming it was him.
It was so it was kind of ridiculous. Yeah, I'm
(20:48):
honored and flattered that. You know, the response has been
so great and supportive by the public for an They're
eager September nineteenth. You can all see it in theaters,
So run, don't walk.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
One and only Billy Zay. We're happy to have him
on the show.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Straight out of Chicago and the Greek Orthodox Church, which
we appreciate around here on the Petros and Money Show. Yeah,
Billy Vassili, I should say, did anybody ever call you?
Did anybody ever call you Vassili coming up?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Or was it always Billy No?
Speaker 7 (21:24):
I got I got a Blacky move.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
We are a we are a sports show, Billy, and
we're your Dodger station, A prolific actor like yourself, a
man of the arts. You know, sometimes you guys don't
delve into the sports world. Did you grow up a
big sports fan in the Chicago Land area.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
I loved going to Soldiers Field as a kid and
getting a Billy Goldberger afterwards. We can escape to Greek
Chase or two. You know that was the experience as
I remember freezing my butt off in Soldiers and like
marching down to Michigan Avenue and getting getting a burger
at the Chie. You know, like that was that was
the Chicago moment. Or down to Greek Town to warm
(22:04):
up with some ig lemonos soup. But yeah, you know
here's San Cubsan uh good times the but loving the Dodgers.
Got to love that. You gotta go. I've been there
since I was eighteen, so I can't say I'm not
a Dodger.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Stand the We kind of have this vision, right, you know, billy'saying,
incredible actor that there's just at least it did you know,
don't don't be humble, share it because I'm assuming this
is the case.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Are there every day?
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Is there something for you to read and decide whether
or not you want to do be a TV or
voiceover or films. It seems like you're at a place
in your career with what you've done that that you
can decide I'm going to do this, I'm not going
to do this.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I don't have to work. I kind of want to work.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
You know that sort of thing is that what life
is like when you establish yourself and you have the
resume that you have.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
It is, but it's also how you start it right.
And in my opinion, I attribute any success I've had
to being a and understanding that this blessed job is
a means to an end. And you know, I'm a
lock pick as a result, you know, head to state,
captains of industry, whatever. Everyone loves a damn movie. The
question is what you do with it. And that's where
(23:15):
I connected with Brando. It's one thing to look like him,
but I was surprised to discover how the level that
I don't know I understood personally and then I discovered
about him was how he leveraged his position in celebrity
and his communications skill set. For some reason, these things
(23:35):
landed early with me, and again because I connect with
that and try to make you know, functional media when
I can to, you know, at least inspire or drop
the shoulders or create a sense of an expanded state.
You know, I not contribute to the too much trauma
out there when possible, I you know, and in this movie,
(23:59):
I feel I'm very proud of the performance, mind you,
but as a producer I'm really proud because this movie
is like going on vacation to Tahiti. It's highly refreshing
and confuses people who are expecting, you know, vengeance play
or bludgeoning or trauma drama, sociopathic behavior disguised as heroics.
You're kind of like, huh, what's wrong with this picture?
(24:20):
And it's what's right with it, which is you enjoy it.
You got to smile on your laughing, you leave better
for it, and that I'm honestly really most proud about.
We've put something out. It's a six year labor of
love and it just makes you feel good and that
I'm thrilled by, to be honest. So that's what to
(24:41):
answer your question. Yes, you arrive at this place in time,
but understanding that that's the brass ring early on is
and getting to achieve it as the reward and at
least connecting with that organizing principle is what I believe
allows for it.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
You didn't spend six years until he did you, Billy?
How long did it take?
Speaker 7 (25:04):
It's not if only No, it's you know, we started
during COVID and it and it broke down. It's drop off. Sorry,
I'm getting I'm sitting at the airport at GfK about
to fly back to la being very very understanding. Thank you.
So we started uh and we had to shut down
(25:24):
for COVID obviously we couldn't get on the island. And
then then it opened up and we got you know,
we're able to go in. It's a process, any one
of these movies. I mean, it's listen, it's an independent film.
We were punching above our weight. I'm so grateful that
the public have been supporting it, and the press for
that matter, in such a vociferous way and really carried us.
(25:48):
And this is you can't game that, right, Hollywood tries to.
You can't buy that. It's been so genuine and it
hasn't been lost on us. We're so grateful for how
it's been received, even when we're teasing it with images
or behind the scenes. And I think it's because again
I go back to that intention of wanting to just
(26:09):
again do him a solid to the people of Tahitia
solid we're talking about. You know, he was ostensibly the
godfather of the environmentalist movement right, and half of the
audience who might not know Brando the end of the
youth I would certainly care about, you know, breathing the
air and clean water. Are going to learn about whose
shoulders this stuff was built upon, and the other half
(26:30):
who know Brando have no idea about this story, and
they're going to hopefully meet in the middle and have
a damn good time doing it.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Yesterday a red carpet with DiCaprio. Today the Petros and
Money Show, as he's getting ready to board a fly.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
We're clearly taking it up, right, that's it above our weight.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Waltzon with Brando comes out September nineteenth, sometimes that's correct,
right September nineteenth, that is.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
And I'm looking at the big premiere at the Chinese
sorry to interp sorry, big premier at the Chinese on
the fifteenth on Monday. You know, we just sold out
the Imax theater there, which is great. It is spilling over.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
It is so the premiere of the fifteenth. It comes
out on the nineteenth. I'm scrolling through your IMDb and
it is the highest rated film amongst other very well
rated films on your IMDb page, though, Billy, but this
one locking in and in eight point two stars out
of ten on the credits.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
I did and I didn't even know that stat You
can go to at Billy Zane on Instagram and in
my bio there's a pre order your ticket if you
want on Iconic Events or Waltz with Brando, you can
preorder your tickets at both of those locations if you
so wish, make sure you get a ticket and thank
you for the support the opening week. That's what keeps
(27:46):
movies in theaters. We've got to support the theatrical experience.
We're not just dropping it out to onto streamers, you know,
or into vod just yet looking forward to that time
for a wider reach. But it's a beautiful looking film
and it's great to see on the big screen. So
thank you for supporting cinema in theater, shared experience. Cover
(28:07):
have you know feel the joy come on vacation with
an absolute funky family.
Speaker 3 (28:11):

Sidney Porter he wrote a short story and then he
wrote like three hundred and eighty two more. A writer
from North Carolina, born during the Civil War. He was
(30:03):
a pharmacist at first and did odd jobs. Worked at
the cigar store in the Driscoll Hotel in Austin, Texas.
Met of that hotel still there. He is witty, he
is musical, He was artistic. He courted a rich girl
(30:26):
who had tuberculosis. Yeah, I married her and they had
two kids. One made it. And then he was working
at a bank in Austin and published a weekly periodical.
Have you ever heard of the rolling Stone?
Speaker 7 (30:43):
Man?
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I'm getting old, you know, I forget something years before
it familiar.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
He had the real rolling stone. But in eighteen ninety
five he was charged with embezzlement after an audit of
the bank, and before the trial, he fled to Honduras, Honduras,
which is a tough place the Mosquito coast. Brother He
started to write a little bit more there. In a
(31:11):
short story he wrote when he was in Honduras, he
coined the term Banana Republic. Oh He came back when
he found out his wife was dying and cared for
her until her death, and then served his five year sentence.
Got out on good behavior, but while he was in
he started writing short stories under the pseudonym O. Henry,
(31:34):
and he also served as the prison's druggist. He got
out early, moved in with his daughter in Pittsburgh and
then to New York to be closer to his publishers,
and wrote almost four hundred short stories in that time,
a story a week for the New York World Sunday magazine.
He was very, very famous, often panned by critics, beloved
(31:56):
by the public. Twists, naturalism, those were his specialty. OH
Henry was short for Oliver Henry, and now the O.
Henry Award is given out annually for outstanding short stories.
His house is owned by the Texas State University System
(32:17):
and a federal building is named after him as well.
He's buried in North Carolina and people leave a dollar
eighty five all the time on his grave because of
the one of his famous stories, The Gift of the
Magi you know, where the girl cuts her hair to
(32:38):
sell to get her husband a watch chain and her

hair thing, and people leave a dollar eighty five in

Speaker 5 (33:09):
It's time for British News.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Cheerio's straight get out.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
So interesting relationship that I have with this band Richard
Ashcroft celebrating a birthday today, I want a copy. When
I was a college student, I was, I believe I
was a sophomore at Pepperdine and I used to listen
to ca CRW This Morning become as Eclectic all the
time in the dorm and uh, they were giving away
copies of this new band, The Verve. That's how old
(33:35):
I am. Their debut album was Storm in Heaven, and
so I call in there like, we got five copies
to give away if you're a subscriber, which I was. Hi,
I'm a subscriber, and I got a copy sent to
me about a week later, had never heard the verb before,
and it became and I don't know if it's because
I love the it's a great record, but it became
my favorite CD. So by the time, well, I mean,
(33:57):
you wanted it a context, That's what I mean. And
I don't know if I loved it or the fact
that I didn't really win anything up to that point
except for a pair of tickets to the Chicago Blitz
when I was in like fourth grade. But I became
a huge Verve fan. So when Bittersweet Symphony came around,
you know how what an a hole.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
You know I can be? I was like, you, you idiots.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
SPAN's been around for three albums already, you losers. Who
do you think you are?
Speaker 3 (34:21):
I listened the morning becomes a colectic come on door.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
So.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
Dicky Ashcroft, born in Lancashire, working class father died suddenly
when he was eleven, said he used music as his escape.
He went to up Holland High School. His palse Simon Jones,
Peter Salisbury, Nick McCabe and Simon Tong, also at Upholland
High School, would go on to form the Verve.
Speaker 7 (34:44):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
He was a heck of a soccer player. It almost
didn't happen. He was part of the junior academy for
Wigan Athletic. Thought he was gonna be become a professional,
but then he just kind of stalled out and the
Verve was there. First gig was a friend's birthday party
in nineteen ninety nine. They had already created buzzer around
the UK, signed a record deal ninety two, She's a
Superstar Charts and they put out an EP called The Verve.
(35:09):
Nmy loved it. UK radio, indie radio dug it. College
radio was just getting into it, and John Lecky signs
on to produce the full length album Lecky of Stone Roses,
Stone Roses Fame. Their first single blue Really It's part
of this record, really really good record. Slide Away was
the big college hit and I was playing that on
(35:30):
the KMBU. Oh man, did I play the hell out
of that? I was like, you idiots don't know the Vervar,
but you will. They're electric Smashing Pumpkins were big fans.
They took him out as support for Simeon's Dream. They
got on Lollapalooza. Ashcroft nearly drank himself to death here
in the States. He said, the US nearly killed us.
(35:53):
The Verve became Noel Gallagher's favorite band. He dedicated the
song Cast No Shadow to Richard, and then Richard dedicated
a Northern Soul back to Gallagher, and Oasis was then
on the path of becoming the biggest band in the world.
The verb kind of stuck in their critical Darlene mid
charting indie world appreciating, but commercial world indifference. So they
(36:15):
broke up in ninety six, Ashcroft saying he wasn't happy,
but they convinced him to come back. And it's a
good thing they did, because that's when they would put
together urban hymns, which had this one Lucky Man and
of course Bittersweet Symphony, one of the biggest songs of
the year. In nineteen ninety seven, the UK was the
biggest song of the year. Sad thing people may not know.
(36:37):
Of course, you know, the strings at the start came
from the last time, from the Rolling Stones, and Ashcroft said,
we cleared it with them, like we cleared the sample.
And when it came out and became such a huge hit,
Keith and Mick said, you didn't clear this length of
a sample. We thought it was going to be four
seconds or less, and they took him to court, and
(36:58):
they took one hundred person of the royalties whoa yes,
complete a holes. Ashcroft did not make a single cent
off of Bittersweet Symphony when they sold the song due
it was at VW. They sold the to some car company.
Mick and Keith wrote Ashcroft a check for one hundred
and seventy five grand and he donated it all to
(37:19):
charity and told him to pound Sanduh.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
He did solo for a while.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
They broke up in ninety nine and they got back
together a little while ago, married to the keyboardist of
Spiritualized Kate Radley. Two sons, Richard Ashcroft musician.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Last week, I mean yesterday we had you, you know,
remembering your time the real land.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Oh yes, in the college.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
