There's something sexy about a couple sharing the same soft

Speaker 3 (01:12):
That perfect mix of masculine and feminine.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
There's a beauty of believing one cannot exist without the other.

That's sometimes the bond between two souls is truly unbreakable.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Melancholy is the happiness of being sad, cracking everybody and
welcome back the Petro Send Money Show. Happy to be
with you with the one and only Don McLain in
the house on AMI seventy LA Sports and live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. There's one thing that Don McLain's
(01:47):
excited about as the college basketball season rambles and balks
its way into the tournament time of the college basketball season,
and that's Dodger spring training. You love it, don't.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I usually wait till the regular season starts.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
But yeah, well we talked to Vassay all about it.
Dodgers at San Francisco, first pitch at twelve o five
tomorrow and the Petroson Money Show will be on after that.
And that game was excruciatingly long yesterday, a three hour
and forty minute spring training game, and we were just
sitting there staring at our crotches waiting for that show
(02:24):
to start. Matt was out there collecting dust in Indianapolis,
sneezing and coughing. You know, Matt got sick on the
world too.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
The managers in like spring training, if it's going that long,
just be like, you know what, guys, sometimes we'll call it.
Let's just call it.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
How often does that happen? I mean, because I know
they'll never go extra innings or that maybe once in
a while they will, but usually.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Like a couple of years ago, it used to happen
more often where if it was a blowout, they'd say, hey,
let's play seven, right, But now, for some reason, I
think they wouldn't get all their pitchers in, especially because
of the World Baseball Classics, some of those guys are leaving.
From all good perspective there, Colin, they're gone, all is Inoni.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah, they're gone. Sometimes when Don asked questions, it helps
and we do get some information. Most of the time,
it's a hindrance to the show and what we're trying
to do on a daily basis here in the world
of great sports, great sports talk.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
All right, Don, what my questions are a hindrance to
the show?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Well, I mean trying to like push it along every
once in a while when you don't know the answer
and you're just sitting there with your putzo in your hand. Yeah,
it makes me feel like an idiot. What do I
look like?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Groc You just hate that you don't know the answer
to Well, I know it all.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I'm just you always find you always ask the one
extra question, and you know what, I don't know why
I do this, but I did this for you again.
I went and dug out some information so you would
maybe be entertained by it and you're gonna probably end
up screwing it up in effect. Yeah, we're three fun Fact.
The final hour of fun Fact is brought to you
(04:02):
by Concordia University, Irvine Masters in Coaching Program and Athletics Administration.
Sign up for the spring term which is coming up
at CUI dot edu slash coaching. You want to have
an impact on people's lives like Don McClain CUI dot
edu slash Coaching. Don was given a master's degree when
(04:26):
he was born. So Don, since you're spending lots of
time in the city of Eugene, yes, you should know
on Tapa being the birthplace in Nike and Tracktown, USA.
You don't get enough of that there.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
By the way, have you have you you haven't been
up there in a while, have you it's been a while.
Have you seen their new Track Stadium?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I heard it.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It's incredible, the coolest thing ever. Like when they were
building it. I didn't go up there a lot when
it was the Pac twelve, and when they were building it,
I was I asked somebody, I'm like, are they building
a new football stadium. They're like, no, that's a tract stadium.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Like, no way, No one else on Earth, well at
least in this country, would build a tract ctity like that.
But Oregon. But I think you're still an Adidas guy. Yeah, okay,
But Eugene, don you might be excited to know, was
also the very first city in Oregon and one of
the very first in the nation to implement one way streets.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, they have a lot of those.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yes. It was all due to the downtown congestion in
the late forties, honking of the horn chaos in downtown Eugene.
So the city made one long ass forty block one
way street that goes into town and the one as
you know that goes out of town Coburg in Coburg,
(05:51):
Ingress and Egress, and it became a resounding success. It
only took them like a couple months to be like, hey, guys,
we did it. It worked traffic down ninety percent. Do
you know how much it cost the city to build
one way streets in Oregon in the late forties in a.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Eugene five hundred thousand.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Fifteen one hundred dollars. Really, it cost twenty million dollars
for Los Angeles to put a bathroom in Runyon Canyon.
Twenty million for the City of Los Angeles to put
a little bathroom men's and women's in Runyon Canyon. Oregon
became a pioneer of one way streets in Eugene at
(06:37):
the cost of fifteen hundred dollars at the time.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Well, we were texting earlier, P and I figured out
that there's a Chiba Hut in Eugene, which I should
have known that as much as I've been there, but
it was down a one way street.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
See to get there, Yeah, they all and you know,
you got to find your way. Yep. Nowadays that you
have ways and the navigation, the one way streets don't
really hit you like they used to, you know, like
if you're driving around the city of San Francisco or
something like that. But Eugene is not exactly you know,
old Philadelphia. You can pretty much find your way around.
All right, it is time for the quick HiT's done?
(07:14):
Something quick hits. I make it quick, y'all. Oh, yeah,
you know what, what I thought doll was gonna be
like what was the name of the city planner?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And I there is I thought about that.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
It up. It's like, I'm not writing this down.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
What was the name of the first street?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I think it's it's those two that's go in, so
go in and out, so Coburg, Eighth and ninth I
think are one way streets.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I think seventh, eleventh, maybe I think it's eleventh.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Actually, correction retraction quick hits everybody. Dodger's another spring training
game today, It was not on the station. Tomorrow's is
on the station, So we're gonna look forward to that.
Three times Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer, the guy
(08:09):
with the two discolored eyes that pitched a little bit
for the Blue Jays last year in the postseason, and
by a little bit I mean a lot. Yeah, is
returning to the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
How do you start two games in the World Series
and only get a one year, three million dollar contract.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Because he that's like the only two games he started
the whole year, like he was hurting. He just pops
up for the playoffs like Kik and he's very very old,
and every year he gets older and he can last
not as long. Mad Mack started Game three and Game
seven of the World Series and Toronto lost the World Series.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yes he did.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Canada's getting a real chop to the sack in the
last few months now. They might have won that nation's battle,
but still a chop to the sack. The Lakers are
thirty four and twenty three dawn. They are sixth in
the West. They're in Phoenix tonight when they take on
the Phoenix Suns, and the Lakers are headed in the
(09:11):
wrong direction.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
They are.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Tip off is at six and I don't know what's
going on. DeAndre Aiden says, they're trying to make them
into Clint Capella. I thought Clint Capella was pretty good
me too. Seems like a pretty upset young man that
DeAndre Ayton pretty unhappy about his lot in life as
a center in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You know, when I do what I do in the spring,
the comment comes up in talking to NBA people about
players love of the game. Do you love to play
the game? I get asked that question a lot. I
don't think DeAndre Ayton loves to play the game. I
just get that sense.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I feel like that's not that controversial of a stance
at this point in the young man's career. No, and
I don't know why Clint Capella's got to catch strays
in this situation. Just post it out tall. The Clippers
are twenty seven and thirty. They've lost two in a
row as well. They're sitting at the tenth seed in
the West. They play tonight. I'll be there an inspirational
(10:12):
You think they're gonna look over the side like Tyler,
You gonna let you in the locker room a little pregame,
pep talk, No, no access, No no, it's not that
cud of night. I'm not going on a media pass. Hey,
young Man's gonna come in here talk to you guys.
He was a captain of usc football team about twenty
six years ago. You might have heard him on Amphire seventy. Hey, fellas,
(10:34):
I know Kawhi' is not here tonight, and I know
you guys have been striving to get to five hundred
since before the All Star break. But I just want
you to know I'm here and support a Toyota and
I'm behind you, guys, and I really want you to
take it to those wolves. Don't let that Anthony fring
it up. Guys, bring it up. Clippers on three, Clippers
on three want two three clips. Don't let that Anthony
Edwards gets you guys, you gotta stick to him like glue.
(10:56):
That's what he said to the guy in Hoosiers, Buddy,
you got to stick to him. Pregame with fully functional
employee Adam at six o'clock, so we're almost about, you know,
less than an hour away.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I've been paying much attention. How is Adam with all
this going on with the Clippers this year?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
It's important. Yeah, he does like late night podcast and
there was one he did where he was like when
the Chris Paul got sent home, He's like, I can't
believe this. Oh my god. Remember that guy, Sergio Dip
Remember that guy that was like I'm having the time
of it, you know, the guy on that And then
later that night he did like the apology from the
(11:43):
hotel room, like I'm just a guy. That's the tone.
And then when when they traded Harden, he didn't run
and he was like all and he he posts the
live stream of it on YouTube, and you know, Clipper
Nation needs to know, you know, in stays stuff like that,
and I think and I think he's kidding. No, he's
(12:04):
not kidding. Does that answer your question? Yeah, almost is
interesting as the Clippers in the playoffs or in the
play in is the combine underweg and Indie. Yeah, don
Now does it surprise you, don that the NFL, like
(12:26):
the NBA has done some of this with their free
agency stuff, but that the NFL has been able to
make such a holiday or an event out of their combine,
out of their draft, out of their schedule release a
lot of the dumb stuff that doesn't involve any action.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
No, but you know, NFL is the most popular sport
in the country, if not the well not the world,
but in the country, and so it's not surprising. I
find the NFL combine fascinating for this reason because of
what I do, and I go to the NBA combine.
Our guys attend the NBA combine. The NFL combine is
(13:05):
so much about measurables. It's all measurables. Forty time is
the most important. And like you don't hear much about
game film and there's no individual workouts, whereas what I
do is the combine. Testing is somewhat measurable and somewhat valuable,
but not nearly as important as it is for the NFL.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yeah, if you're not a certain forty yeah, it doesn't
matter how good you are. It's going to keep you
out of a certain realm of getting paid unless you
prove it on the field, over and over and over.
I played with a guy who was slow for his position,
Sammy Knight. You remember Sammy Knight on Riverside. Sammy's a
great football player. He was a safety at SC and
(13:50):
then they moved him up the linebacker played safety in
the NFL forever, Pro Bowls, multiple always around, but he
always would have to take a pay cut or get
cut or it moved along because he didn't mean he
couldn't play, didn't mean he wasn't good enough to play
in the NFL. But they were so obsessed with that
forty time that it held him back. And for some
(14:13):
people it just doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
They get out there and it just you know, they
flip their lid and they have good measurables, but the
measurables don't explain what they do on the football. But
it is interesting, and I'm sure it happens like this
in basketball too, but I think it happens more and
more in football. Is that the further people get away
from the field in football, sometimes the more valuable they
(14:35):
are because of the measurables. Yeah, and then the season
comes around and you're like, oh, well, I guess we'll
teach him to play football at some point. You know,
we got good coaches. It's kind of weird, but that's
all underway. The La Kings fell to the Golden Knights
last night, six to four. They're currently three points behind
the Kraken for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
(14:56):
I know you're a big hockey guy. Don and the
Anaheim Ducks defeated Connor McDavid and the Oilers six to five.
Head coach Joel Quinnville became just the second coach in
NHL history with one thousand wins. Did I say his
name right? Really?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I think so?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
How about that? That's first try. You know, if you're
not gonna know, if no one else is gonna celebrate you,
you got to celebrate.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yourself, no doubt, right, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
When there's nothing left to burn, you've got to set
yourself on fire.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I think this is the first time I've ever had
a two page quick hits.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Oh we got a second page.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
College hoops Don Ucla now nineteen to nine, overall eleven
and six and the Big Ten after it went over
USC Tuesday night. The Bruins play at Minnesota on Saturday,
then home to Nebraska on Tuesday, and then USC the
last Saturday of the regular season. But as you predicted, Don,
(16:00):
and the last time you were here last week, he said,
what happened when they beat on nine, Well, it's gonna
happen that you're gonna be on the tournament.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah. Not hearing much chatter about Mick Cronin in his
job status since that game.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
You did say that, you mentioned that number six. You
con demolish fifteenth ranks Saint John seventy two to forty
Rick Patino's largest loss at Saint John's the Reds since
they were called the Red Men. The Red Storm issued
twelve consecutive shots that were missed in the first half.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Missed twelve shots in a row in the first half,
and miss twenty four in a row in the second half.
I mean, that's hard to do in the gym by yourself.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Somebody take the cap off the rim, that's what they say, right,
Why are you looking at me like that? Why don't
you look at me like hey, cool? Basketball reference Petros
Because it was not somebody take the lid off that thing.
No one ever says that that was cool.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
When I was twelve back in eighty two, it was.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
A great year, you know, back at we were getting
ready for the Olympics here as well. Yeah, and look
at our an imitating life. We'll be back with more.
That's not what that is, by the way. We'll be
back with more Petrosen Money. On AM five seventy LA Sports.
Don McLain is in the house calling Yee and Ronnie
as well craging everybody. Welcome back. It is the one
(17:20):
and only Petros and Money show on M five seventy
LA Sports. It's our final hour and fully functional employee
at them. We'll be swooping in at six o'clock to
take over Clippers tea Wolves tonight and then tomorrow Dodgers
versus Giants first pitch at twelve oh five, and Matt
is supposed to be back and we will do the show,
(17:43):
a four hour show on a Frogman Friday at three
o'clock tomorrow. But a big thank you to Don McClain
calling Yee and Ronnie Fossio. You know, I'm not going
to try to I've been monitoring the basketball aggression and
there was an explosion of a great I told you
that there's a lot of aggression out there, and you
kind of downplayed it and tried to act administrative about it.
(18:06):
And then what happened over the weekend, explosion of aggression.
Fights all over the place. Bobby Hurley hits the deck. Yeah,
Arizona State versus TCU, Shrewsbury loses by forty four, lose Achilles. Yeah,
don't tell me that's not aggression. When Shrewsbury freaks out
at halftime and comes out in a freaking boot for
(18:29):
the second half, that was bad.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
You might be onto something.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
The NC State fighting with Virginia. The Calves the Pack
versus Calves at the John Paul Jones Center were named
after the Led Zeppelin musician.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
One thing I didn't say last week, though, p that
I thought about when I was driving home, is college
players emulate whatever the NBA does. So if the NBA
all of a sudden is fighting, they think it's okay
to fight. Now. It's like when you watch a college game,
you see players twirling the finger all the time.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, there's only three things you can challenge in college,
so that you would twirl your finger, and they're like
doing it every time a guy gets fouled or like,
because that's what NBA guys do, they do the entire game,
twirl their finger challenge.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
It's trying to watch a high school wide receiver pop
up screaming for a pass interference penalty like he's uh,
Jerry Rice or yeah, but that's a fun digs.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
That could be part of it is that the NBA
has had more fights this year than they've had in
a long time. So the college guys are like, well,
let's fight then too.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
You're you're saying, that's what the aggressions, Well, that's at
least you're finally starting to ask questions because you were
like a stone wall, you know. And I know what
tipped you over to Wow. Petross is right, I know
what it was. What it was when the USC guy
threw the ball off the UCLA guy's face from like
one yard away in sc versus Ucla. That uh what
(19:56):
was that Guy's that that Baker Bazaar Baker Bazaar. Yeah,
that crazy guy with there's wacky air. He's like thirty
years old, twenty six, pretty old, and he threw the
ball right off that dude's face. You're gonna tell me
that's not aggression.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Well, that's happened before, not recently, but yeah, it's all
I said. I think you might be onto something.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
What's the most aggression that you have shown out on
the basketball court, right off the top of your head,
the most aggression when there's cameras rolling on the basketball court? Dog?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Well, the one, one of two times I got suspended
in the NBA was Chris Gatling. Remember him, Yeah, we're playing.
I was playing in Denver. He was playing for the Warriors.
Caught me with a stray elbow, knocked out one of
my two front teeths Oh no, but.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Just touched the guy in the USA Hockey.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
So the officials didn't see it, so no foul was called.
I'm fuming. I go to the bench and being I
was like fifth year in the league at that point,
so you can't retaliate right away. So I waited like
four or five minutes. He's coming down in transition, like
top of the key free throw line, and I just
laid out forearms shivered, knowing I'm probably gonna get thrown
(21:08):
out of the game. Officials didn't see that either.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Oh cool, whether they're really letting them play that, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
And so I thought I got away with it. Rob Thorn,
who was the guy who handled discipline at the time
in the NBA, calls the Nuggets. They saw what happened.
He was watching the game and suspended me for a
game for it.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
And what do they do? Do they call you at
your house or do they send you a letter? Well,
you're not allowed. They call your team and tell you
you're not allowed to be in the arena. And we
were going I think, to San Antonio the next night.
So I just stayed back in Denver but didn't get paid.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
No, but it's a tax right off, believe it or not.
Oh all right, okay, you bowloed Gattling over. Okay, Well,
before I ask you that question, let's say you're at
the Eugene Airport at Wings or whatever the restaurant is
called now grill, the grill at will Lammett Valley or something.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, let's say you're at the grill in Wi lamb
At and Gatling walks in. Do you give him the
high sign? Do you nod at him? Or or do
you don't care? I mean not your tooth out dawn?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah he did.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Okay, So there is a little basketball aggression flavor for everybody. Involved,
and uh, I'm not asking you to apologize for kind
of shooting down all the stuff that we pulled, but
I do want you to acknowledge.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I'm acknowledging that there may be something there. Let's see
if it continues.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Now acknowledge that that's why the popcorn machine caught fire.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
No, I will not acknowledge it, Norman, No.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Because the city's too hot. Okay, we'll be back. We
got the Dead and a live guy Birthday of the
Day on AM seventy LA Sports tonight. Maybe there'll be
a fight between the Clippers and the Tea Wolves. Maybe
batoolmost plies French. The pregame starts at six. Tip off
is it's you think, Uh, well, we'll get some Vic
(23:05):
Hugo for you next.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Don.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Thanks for listening, everybody, and thank you to Don McClain,
who will be back at Galen Center on Saturday on
FS one USC hosting Nebraska the Mayor Fred Hoiberg versus
Eric Musselman.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
The must bus muscle.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Versus city politics. Who will win out? It should be
a good one. It's always great to have Don here.
Matt will be back tomorrow and coming up next the
game that I am headed to. I know how much
you miss driving down to the Into It Dome, So
for you, Don, I'm gonna do it myself good. And uh,
we've got Clippers, t Wolves, no Kawhi load management tonight
(23:53):
for Kawhi, so I can really enjoy the Into It
Dome tonight. Don.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Not much of a commute for you as it is
as it was for me.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Well, I gotta come from here, don't you, hey, and
then I got to go home from there, right. Take
me twenty minutes. Get our show on demand, the Petrosen
Money Show Podcast. Did you successfully put up the podcast
last night, Colin? I believe you did because I did
not get any compliants about a lack of a podcast.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Nice and easy real podcast was nice and easy all
right on our new omni podcast website.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Okay, that's great to hear. And you were able to
put it up without any problems for yourself or anybody else.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Yes, okay, I didn't get any phone calls, any tweets,
direct messages.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I think we're good.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Okay, Well, Don, you will particularly not well. I hope
this you find this somewhat interesting, Don for your dead guide,
but hope so too. Of the day, he would have
been two hundred and twenty four. Today, Victor Marie Hugo,
Victor Hugo.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Never heard of you?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Wow, Okay, well beating out John Harvey Kellogg, who's one
of Matt's favorite guys, the guy who invented corn flakes, Kellogg's.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
That's one of Matt's favorite guys.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah. He likes to tell the story of how Post
c W Post went over to the sanitarium of John
Harvey Kellogg treated his bad guts with corn flakes and
then stole the recipe. Oh and made his own corn
flakes really yeah, Raisin brand corporate ad. And it turns
(25:33):
out that John Harvey Kellogg was like a really draconian
guy who wouldn't didn't want kids beating off and like
you beat off too much, they sent you to him
and he do humiliate you. Anyway, That's not who the
story we're telling today. Today, we're going to tell the
story of Victor Hugo. Don one of the world's greatest
writers ever. And I'm not kidding Dawn any plays and literature,
(25:57):
but two of his books are probably more transcendent than
anything else he wrote. Born in eastern France, but moved
around as a child his father was an officer in
Napoleon's army, and his dad was also made a count.
So he was educated and around bougie people in Europe,
(26:18):
educated all over Europe. But what's important on, there's a
lot to this guy. But what's important Don is the books. Well,
first of all, he published his first novel at the
age of twenty one. You're not too excited about that,
because you know, at twenty one you were well on
your way to becoming the PAC twelve's leading scorer of
all time. But the rest of us Don, and that
(26:39):
book was called Hans of Iceland. Much work followed Don,
but Hugo is known for his two masterpieces. But before
we get to those, his first mature work, which was
the Last Day of a Condemned Man, was said to
have had a profound effect on three of the greatest
(27:02):
writers in the history of the world, Dickens, Albert Camu
and Phidor Dostoyevsky, not exactly lightweights in the world of literature, Dawn,
but Victor Hugo's greatest work is the generational lemes rang
or lame as rob Less Las Robbed Yes, the story
(27:22):
of Jean Valjean Prisoner two four six oh one, because
Hugo said or believed that he was conceived on June
twenty fourth, eighteen oh one two four six a one.
In Europe they flipped the days in them.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I knew that too. Well, that's good.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
It is hard to conceive a better plot in the
history of writing books, and I'm including William Shakespeare than
lem Is. Of course, there's many movies and musicals ever since,
and Hugo knew that it was his masterpiece. He wrote
it pretty late in his life, but also wrote The
Hunchback of Notre Dame, came out in eighteen thirty one.
(28:02):
Big bang, quasi moto.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Par to that. All right, we're getting something?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Are you impressed?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Now?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I am actually.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Thirty one years before Lei mays he wrote The Hunchback.
His poems are very very popular in France, but maybe
not all over the world. His books are huge everywhere
and have never gone out of print, of course not
He was a royalist as a young person, but became
a fierce republican later in life. There are statues and
(28:31):
tributes and streets that bear his name all over the world,
including the restaurant on top of the Eiffel Tower Victor
Hugos really but mostly most of the stuff about him
is in Paris. His wife, Adele Faucher was his wife
for a long time, but they both had many affairs.
(28:53):
Their kids were famous kids. He had a political life
and ended up being exiled in the Channel Islands, not
off of Camerrio, the ones you know.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
To saw him today flying in not Guernsey.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
And two million people went to Victor Hugo's funeral in
eighteen eighty five when he died at eighty three, which
is the largest funeral in French history. So probably the
like you got Napoleon and Victor Hugo, probably your two
(29:26):
most famous French people of all time. A few of
those kings in there.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Louis the eighteenth Jonic Noah.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
How I'm you know what, although he does have a
couple of reggae songs on the charts, I'm not putting
Noah in there. Maybe in the twentieth century. No, a
fine tennis pacify all right? Don you got the alive.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Guy beating out the great j T. Snow You're a
live guy. Birthday of the day is Sarah Blakeley to
she sat down turns fifty four today, an American businesswoman, philanthropist,
and founder of Spanks.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Oh Yeah, I like to see the ladies packed into
those Spanks.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
An intimate apparel company in Atlanta. Georgia went to Clearwater
High School and graduated from Florida State with a communication
degree go Seminoles. While she planned to become an attorney,
she reconsidered after scooing low on the l SAT. She
(30:34):
instead accepted a job at Walt Disney World. Okay, she
worked there for three months. She also worked as a
stand up comedian during this time. Like Genie Buds, she's
a stand up comedian.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
She stabbled in it during her while while her courtship
with j Moore was going on. Really, that's right, don't
you remember that? You remember that Genie bus stand up area.
Her short stint at Disney, she had a couple of
one night stands at the Haja Hole on Pico Nothing.
Blakely accepted a job with office supply company Danka, where
(31:12):
she sold fax machines. She was quite successful in sales
and was promoted to national sales trainer at the age
of twenty five. It was during this time she developed
her hosary IDEA nice disclaimer. I did not write this.
What's wrong with Hosary nothing.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
The creation of the initial product prototype was completed in
a year.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Oh I love it.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
That product took off, which he sent a basket of
her products to Oprah Winfrey TV show.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
That has a big fat Cate could pack herself into
those spanks.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Oprah loved it and named it one of her favorite things,
which led to a rise in popularity in sales just packing.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
In all those skinfolds.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
In twenty twelve, Blakely landed on the cover of Forbes
magazine for being the youngest self made female billionaire in
the world. How about that one product billionaire? You smooth
out that ass. I'm surprised it's only a billion dollars.
(32:24):
She can't do nothing for big arms though.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
You know, she hasn't got like a like a like
a bench press, no T shirt, she got any husband
or kids or anything?
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Or is she just uh oh she's married Oh yeah

There's something sexy about a couple sharing the same soft

Speaker 3 (01:12):
That perfect mix of masculine and feminine.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
There's a beauty of believing one cannot exist without the other.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
That's sometimes the bond between two souls is truly unbreakable.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Melancholy is the happiness of being sad, cracking everybody and
welcome back the Petro Send Money Show. Happy to be
with you with the one and only Don McLain in
the house on AMI seventy LA Sports and live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. There's one thing that Don McLain's
(01:47):
excited about as the college basketball season rambles and balks
its way into the tournament time of the college basketball season,
and that's Dodger spring training. You love it, don't.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I usually wait till the regular season starts.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
But yeah, well we talked to Vassay all about it.
Dodgers at San Francisco, first pitch at twelve o five
tomorrow and the Petroson Money Show will be on after that.
And that game was excruciatingly long yesterday, a three hour
and forty minute spring training game, and we were just
sitting there staring at our crotches waiting for that show
(02:24):
to start. Matt was out there collecting dust in Indianapolis,
sneezing and coughing. You know, Matt got sick on the
world too.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
The managers in like spring training, if it's going that long,
just be like, you know what, guys, sometimes we'll call it.
Let's just call it.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
How often does that happen? I mean, because I know
they'll never go extra innings or that maybe once in
a while they will, but usually.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Like a couple of years ago, it used to happen
more often where if it was a blowout, they'd say, hey,
let's play seven, right, But now, for some reason, I
think they wouldn't get all their pitchers in, especially because
of the World Baseball Classics, some of those guys are leaving.
From all good perspective there, Colin, they're gone, all is Inoni.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah, they're gone. Sometimes when Don asked questions, it helps
and we do get some information. Most of the time,
it's a hindrance to the show and what we're trying
to do on a daily basis here in the world
of great sports, great sports talk.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
All right, Don, what my questions are a hindrance to
the show?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Well, I mean trying to like push it along every
once in a while when you don't know the answer
and you're just sitting there with your putzo in your hand. Yeah,
it makes me feel like an idiot. What do I
look like?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Groc You just hate that you don't know the answer
to Well, I know it all.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I'm just you always find you always ask the one
extra question, and you know what, I don't know why
I do this, but I did this for you again.
I went and dug out some information so you would
maybe be entertained by it and you're gonna probably end
up screwing it up in effect. Yeah, we're three fun Fact.
The final hour of fun Fact is brought to you
(04:02):
by Concordia University, Irvine Masters in Coaching Program and Athletics Administration.
Sign up for the spring term which is coming up
at CUI dot edu slash coaching. You want to have
an impact on people's lives like Don McClain CUI dot
edu slash Coaching. Don was given a master's degree when
(04:26):
he was born. So Don, since you're spending lots of
time in the city of Eugene, yes, you should know
on Tapa being the birthplace in Nike and Tracktown, USA.
You don't get enough of that there.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
By the way, have you have you you haven't been
up there in a while, have you it's been a while.
Have you seen their new Track Stadium?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I heard it.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It's incredible, the coolest thing ever. Like when they were
building it. I didn't go up there a lot when
it was the Pac twelve, and when they were building it,
I was I asked somebody, I'm like, are they building
a new football stadium. They're like, no, that's a tract stadium.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Like, no way, No one else on Earth, well at
least in this country, would build a tract ctity like that.
But Oregon. But I think you're still an Adidas guy. Yeah, okay,
But Eugene, don you might be excited to know, was
also the very first city in Oregon and one of
the very first in the nation to implement one way streets.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, they have a lot of those.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yes. It was all due to the downtown congestion in
the late forties, honking of the horn chaos in downtown Eugene.
So the city made one long ass forty block one
way street that goes into town and the one as
you know that goes out of town Coburg in Coburg,
(05:51):
Ingress and Egress, and it became a resounding success. It
only took them like a couple months to be like, hey, guys,
we did it. It worked traffic down ninety percent. Do
you know how much it cost the city to build
one way streets in Oregon in the late forties in a.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Eugene five hundred thousand.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Fifteen one hundred dollars. Really, it cost twenty million dollars
for Los Angeles to put a bathroom in Runyon Canyon.
Twenty million for the City of Los Angeles to put
a little bathroom men's and women's in Runyon Canyon. Oregon
became a pioneer of one way streets in Eugene at
(06:37):
the cost of fifteen hundred dollars at the time.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Well, we were texting earlier, P and I figured out
that there's a Chiba Hut in Eugene, which I should
have known that as much as I've been there, but
it was down a one way street.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
See to get there, Yeah, they all and you know,
you got to find your way. Yep. Nowadays that you
have ways and the navigation, the one way streets don't
really hit you like they used to, you know, like
if you're driving around the city of San Francisco or
something like that. But Eugene is not exactly you know,
old Philadelphia. You can pretty much find your way around.
All right, it is time for the quick HiT's done?
(07:14):
Something quick hits. I make it quick, y'all. Oh, yeah,
you know what, what I thought doll was gonna be
like what was the name of the city planner?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And I there is I thought about that.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
It up. It's like, I'm not writing this down.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
What was the name of the first street?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I think it's it's those two that's go in, so
go in and out, so Coburg, Eighth and ninth I
think are one way streets.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I think seventh, eleventh, maybe I think it's eleventh.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Actually, correction retraction quick hits everybody. Dodger's another spring training
game today, It was not on the station. Tomorrow's is
on the station, So we're gonna look forward to that.
Three times Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer, the guy
(08:09):
with the two discolored eyes that pitched a little bit
for the Blue Jays last year in the postseason, and
by a little bit I mean a lot. Yeah, is
returning to the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
How do you start two games in the World Series
and only get a one year, three million dollar contract.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Because he that's like the only two games he started
the whole year, like he was hurting. He just pops
up for the playoffs like Kik and he's very very old,
and every year he gets older and he can last
not as long. Mad Mack started Game three and Game
seven of the World Series and Toronto lost the World Series.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yes he did.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Canada's getting a real chop to the sack in the
last few months now. They might have won that nation's battle,
but still a chop to the sack. The Lakers are
thirty four and twenty three dawn. They are sixth in
the West. They're in Phoenix tonight when they take on
the Phoenix Suns, and the Lakers are headed in the
(09:11):
wrong direction.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
They are.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Tip off is at six and I don't know what's
going on. DeAndre Aiden says, they're trying to make them
into Clint Capella. I thought Clint Capella was pretty good
me too. Seems like a pretty upset young man that
DeAndre Ayton pretty unhappy about his lot in life as
a center in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You know, when I do what I do in the spring,
the comment comes up in talking to NBA people about
players love of the game. Do you love to play
the game? I get asked that question a lot. I
don't think DeAndre Ayton loves to play the game. I
just get that sense.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I feel like that's not that controversial of a stance
at this point in the young man's career. No, and
I don't know why Clint Capella's got to catch strays
in this situation. Just post it out tall. The Clippers
are twenty seven and thirty. They've lost two in a
row as well. They're sitting at the tenth seed in
the West. They play tonight. I'll be there an inspirational
(10:12):
You think they're gonna look over the side like Tyler,
You gonna let you in the locker room a little pregame,
pep talk, No, no access, No no, it's not that
cud of night. I'm not going on a media pass. Hey,
young Man's gonna come in here talk to you guys.
He was a captain of usc football team about twenty
six years ago. You might have heard him on Amphire seventy. Hey, fellas,
(10:34):
I know Kawhi' is not here tonight, and I know
you guys have been striving to get to five hundred
since before the All Star break. But I just want
you to know I'm here and support a Toyota and
I'm behind you, guys, and I really want you to
take it to those wolves. Don't let that Anthony fring
it up. Guys, bring it up. Clippers on three, Clippers
on three want two three clips. Don't let that Anthony
Edwards gets you guys, you gotta stick to him like glue.
(10:56):
That's what he said to the guy in Hoosiers, Buddy,
you got to stick to him. Pregame with fully functional
employee Adam at six o'clock, so we're almost about, you know,
less than an hour away.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I've been paying much attention. How is Adam with all
this going on with the Clippers this year?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
It's important. Yeah, he does like late night podcast and
there was one he did where he was like when
the Chris Paul got sent home, He's like, I can't
believe this. Oh my god. Remember that guy, Sergio Dip
Remember that guy that was like I'm having the time
of it, you know, the guy on that And then
later that night he did like the apology from the
(11:43):
hotel room, like I'm just a guy. That's the tone.
And then when when they traded Harden, he didn't run
and he was like all and he he posts the
live stream of it on YouTube, and you know, Clipper
Nation needs to know, you know, in stays stuff like that,
and I think and I think he's kidding. No, he's
(12:04):
not kidding. Does that answer your question? Yeah, almost is
interesting as the Clippers in the playoffs or in the
play in is the combine underweg and Indie. Yeah, don
Now does it surprise you, don that the NFL, like
(12:26):
the NBA has done some of this with their free
agency stuff, but that the NFL has been able to
make such a holiday or an event out of their combine,
out of their draft, out of their schedule release a
lot of the dumb stuff that doesn't involve any action.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
No, but you know, NFL is the most popular sport
in the country, if not the well not the world,
but in the country, and so it's not surprising. I
find the NFL combine fascinating for this reason because of
what I do, and I go to the NBA combine.
Our guys attend the NBA combine. The NFL combine is
(13:05):
so much about measurables. It's all measurables. Forty time is
the most important. And like you don't hear much about
game film and there's no individual workouts, whereas what I
do is the combine. Testing is somewhat measurable and somewhat valuable,
but not nearly as important as it is for the NFL.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yeah, if you're not a certain forty yeah, it doesn't
matter how good you are. It's going to keep you
out of a certain realm of getting paid unless you
prove it on the field, over and over and over.
I played with a guy who was slow for his position,
Sammy Knight. You remember Sammy Knight on Riverside. Sammy's a
great football player. He was a safety at SC and
(13:50):
then they moved him up the linebacker played safety in
the NFL forever, Pro Bowls, multiple always around, but he
always would have to take a pay cut or get
cut or it moved along because he didn't mean he
couldn't play, didn't mean he wasn't good enough to play
in the NFL. But they were so obsessed with that
forty time that it held him back. And for some
(14:13):
people it just doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
They get out there and it just you know, they
flip their lid and they have good measurables, but the
measurables don't explain what they do on the football. But
it is interesting, and I'm sure it happens like this
in basketball too, but I think it happens more and
more in football. Is that the further people get away
from the field in football, sometimes the more valuable they
(14:35):
are because of the measurables. Yeah, and then the season
comes around and you're like, oh, well, I guess we'll
teach him to play football at some point. You know,
we got good coaches. It's kind of weird, but that's
all underway. The La Kings fell to the Golden Knights
last night, six to four. They're currently three points behind
the Kraken for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
(14:56):
I know you're a big hockey guy. Don and the
Anaheim Ducks defeated Connor McDavid and the Oilers six to five.
Head coach Joel Quinnville became just the second coach in
NHL history with one thousand wins. Did I say his
name right? Really?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I think so?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
How about that? That's first try. You know, if you're
not gonna know, if no one else is gonna celebrate you,
you got to celebrate.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yourself, no doubt, right, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
When there's nothing left to burn, you've got to set
yourself on fire.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I think this is the first time I've ever had
a two page quick hits.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Oh we got a second page.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
College hoops Don Ucla now nineteen to nine, overall eleven
and six and the Big Ten after it went over
USC Tuesday night. The Bruins play at Minnesota on Saturday,
then home to Nebraska on Tuesday, and then USC the
last Saturday of the regular season. But as you predicted, Don,
(16:00):
and the last time you were here last week, he said,
what happened when they beat on nine, Well, it's gonna
happen that you're gonna be on the tournament.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah. Not hearing much chatter about Mick Cronin in his
job status since that game.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
You did say that, you mentioned that number six. You
con demolish fifteenth ranks Saint John seventy two to forty
Rick Patino's largest loss at Saint John's the Reds since
they were called the Red Men. The Red Storm issued
twelve consecutive shots that were missed in the first half.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Missed twelve shots in a row in the first half,
and miss twenty four in a row in the second half.
I mean, that's hard to do in the gym by yourself.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Somebody take the cap off the rim, that's what they say, right,
Why are you looking at me like that? Why don't
you look at me like hey, cool? Basketball reference Petros
Because it was not somebody take the lid off that thing.
No one ever says that that was cool.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
When I was twelve back in eighty two, it was.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
A great year, you know, back at we were getting
ready for the Olympics here as well. Yeah, and look
at our an imitating life. We'll be back with more.
That's not what that is, by the way. We'll be
back with more Petrosen Money. On AM five seventy LA Sports.
Don McLain is in the house calling Yee and Ronnie
as well craging everybody. Welcome back. It is the one
(17:20):
and only Petros and Money show on M five seventy
LA Sports. It's our final hour and fully functional employee
at them. We'll be swooping in at six o'clock to
take over Clippers tea Wolves tonight and then tomorrow Dodgers
versus Giants first pitch at twelve oh five, and Matt
is supposed to be back and we will do the show,
(17:43):
a four hour show on a Frogman Friday at three
o'clock tomorrow. But a big thank you to Don McClain
calling Yee and Ronnie Fossio. You know, I'm not going
to try to I've been monitoring the basketball aggression and
there was an explosion of a great I told you
that there's a lot of aggression out there, and you
kind of downplayed it and tried to act administrative about it.
(18:06):
And then what happened over the weekend, explosion of aggression.
Fights all over the place. Bobby Hurley hits the deck. Yeah,
Arizona State versus TCU, Shrewsbury loses by forty four, lose Achilles. Yeah,
don't tell me that's not aggression. When Shrewsbury freaks out
at halftime and comes out in a freaking boot for
(18:29):
the second half, that was bad.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
You might be onto something.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
The NC State fighting with Virginia. The Calves the Pack
versus Calves at the John Paul Jones Center were named
after the Led Zeppelin musician.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
One thing I didn't say last week, though, p that
I thought about when I was driving home, is college
players emulate whatever the NBA does. So if the NBA
all of a sudden is fighting, they think it's okay
to fight. Now. It's like when you watch a college game,
you see players twirling the finger all the time.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, there's only three things you can challenge in college,
so that you would twirl your finger, and they're like
doing it every time a guy gets fouled or like,
because that's what NBA guys do, they do the entire game,
twirl their finger challenge.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
It's trying to watch a high school wide receiver pop
up screaming for a pass interference penalty like he's uh,
Jerry Rice or yeah, but that's a fun digs.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
That could be part of it is that the NBA
has had more fights this year than they've had in
a long time. So the college guys are like, well,
let's fight then too.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
You're you're saying, that's what the aggressions, Well, that's at
least you're finally starting to ask questions because you were
like a stone wall, you know. And I know what
tipped you over to Wow. Petross is right, I know
what it was. What it was when the USC guy
threw the ball off the UCLA guy's face from like
one yard away in sc versus Ucla. That uh what
(19:56):
was that Guy's that that Baker Bazaar Baker Bazaar. Yeah,
that crazy guy with there's wacky air. He's like thirty
years old, twenty six, pretty old, and he threw the
ball right off that dude's face. You're gonna tell me
that's not aggression.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Well, that's happened before, not recently, but yeah, it's all
I said. I think you might be onto something.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
What's the most aggression that you have shown out on
the basketball court, right off the top of your head,
the most aggression when there's cameras rolling on the basketball court? Dog?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Well, the one, one of two times I got suspended
in the NBA was Chris Gatling. Remember him, Yeah, we're playing.
I was playing in Denver. He was playing for the Warriors.
Caught me with a stray elbow, knocked out one of
my two front teeths Oh no, but.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Just touched the guy in the USA Hockey.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
So the officials didn't see it, so no foul was called.
I'm fuming. I go to the bench and being I
was like fifth year in the league at that point,
so you can't retaliate right away. So I waited like
four or five minutes. He's coming down in transition, like
top of the key free throw line, and I just
laid out forearms shivered, knowing I'm probably gonna get thrown
(21:08):
out of the game. Officials didn't see that either.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Oh cool, whether they're really letting them play that, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
And so I thought I got away with it. Rob Thorn,
who was the guy who handled discipline at the time
in the NBA, calls the Nuggets. They saw what happened.
He was watching the game and suspended me for a
game for it.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
And what do they do? Do they call you at
your house or do they send you a letter? Well,
you're not allowed. They call your team and tell you
you're not allowed to be in the arena. And we
were going I think, to San Antonio the next night.
So I just stayed back in Denver but didn't get paid.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
No, but it's a tax right off, believe it or not.
Oh all right, okay, you bowloed Gattling over. Okay, Well,
before I ask you that question, let's say you're at
the Eugene Airport at Wings or whatever the restaurant is
called now grill, the grill at will Lammett Valley or something.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, let's say you're at the grill in Wi lamb
At and Gatling walks in. Do you give him the
high sign? Do you nod at him? Or or do
you don't care? I mean not your tooth out dawn?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah he did.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Okay, So there is a little basketball aggression flavor for everybody. Involved,
and uh, I'm not asking you to apologize for kind
of shooting down all the stuff that we pulled, but
I do want you to acknowledge.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I'm acknowledging that there may be something there. Let's see
if it continues.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Now acknowledge that that's why the popcorn machine caught fire.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
No, I will not acknowledge it, Norman, No.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Because the city's too hot. Okay, we'll be back. We

Money Show Podcast. Did you successfully put up the podcast

not get any compliants about a lack of a podcast.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Nice and easy real podcast was nice and easy all
right on our new omni podcast website.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Okay, that's great to hear. And you were able to
put it up without any problems for yourself or anybody else.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Yes, okay, I didn't get any phone calls, any tweets,
direct messages.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I think we're good.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Okay, Well, Don, you will particularly not well. I hope
this you find this somewhat interesting, Don for your dead guide,
but hope so too. Of the day, he would have
been two hundred and twenty four. Today, Victor Marie Hugo,
Victor Hugo.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Never heard of you?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Wow, Okay, well beating out John Harvey Kellogg, who's one
of Matt's favorite guys, the guy who invented corn flakes, Kellogg's.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
That's one of Matt's favorite guys.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah. He likes to tell the story of how Post
c W Post went over to the sanitarium of John
Harvey Kellogg treated his bad guts with corn flakes and
then stole the recipe. Oh and made his own corn
flakes really yeah, Raisin brand corporate ad. And it turns
(25:33):
out that John Harvey Kellogg was like a really draconian
guy who wouldn't didn't want kids beating off and like
you beat off too much, they sent you to him
and he do humiliate you. Anyway, That's not who the
story we're telling today. Today, we're going to tell the
story of Victor Hugo. Don one of the world's greatest
writers ever. And I'm not kidding Dawn any plays and literature,
(25:57):
but two of his books are probably more transcendent than
anything else he wrote. Born in eastern France, but moved
around as a child his father was an officer in
Napoleon's army, and his dad was also made a count.
So he was educated and around bougie people in Europe,
(26:18):
educated all over Europe. But what's important on, there's a
lot to this guy. But what's important Don is the books. Well,
first of all, he published his first novel at the
age of twenty one. You're not too excited about that,
because you know, at twenty one you were well on
your way to becoming the PAC twelve's leading scorer of
all time. But the rest of us Don, and that
(26:39):
book was called Hans of Iceland. Much work followed Don,
but Hugo is known for his two masterpieces. But before
we get to those, his first mature work, which was
the Last Day of a Condemned Man, was said to
have had a profound effect on three of the greatest
(27:02):
writers in the history of the world, Dickens, Albert Camu
and Phidor Dostoyevsky, not exactly lightweights in the world of literature, Dawn,
but Victor Hugo's greatest work is the generational lemes rang
or lame as rob Less Las Robbed Yes, the story
(27:22):
of Jean Valjean Prisoner two four six oh one, because
Hugo said or believed that he was conceived on June
twenty fourth, eighteen oh one two four six a one.
In Europe they flipped the days in them.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I knew that too. Well, that's good.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
It is hard to conceive a better plot in the
history of writing books, and I'm including William Shakespeare than
lem Is. Of course, there's many movies and musicals ever since,
and Hugo knew that it was his masterpiece. He wrote
it pretty late in his life, but also wrote The
Hunchback of Notre Dame, came out in eighteen thirty one.
(28:02):
Big bang, quasi moto.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Par to that. All right, we're getting something?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Are you impressed?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Now?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I am actually.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Thirty one years before Lei mays he wrote The Hunchback.
His poems are very very popular in France, but maybe
not all over the world. His books are huge everywhere
and have never gone out of print, of course not
He was a royalist as a young person, but became
a fierce republican later in life. There are statues and
(28:31):
tributes and streets that bear his name all over the world,
including the restaurant on top of the Eiffel Tower Victor
Hugos really but mostly most of the stuff about him
is in Paris. His wife, Adele Faucher was his wife
for a long time, but they both had many affairs.
(28:53):
Their kids were famous kids. He had a political life
and ended up being exiled in the Channel Islands, not
off of Camerrio, the ones you know.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
To saw him today flying in not Guernsey.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
And two million people went to Victor Hugo's funeral in
eighteen eighty five when he died at eighty three, which
is the largest funeral in French history. So probably the
like you got Napoleon and Victor Hugo, probably your two
(29:26):
most famous French people of all time. A few of
those kings in there.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Louis the eighteenth Jonic Noah.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
How I'm you know what, although he does have a
couple of reggae songs on the charts, I'm not putting
Noah in there. Maybe in the twentieth century. No, a
fine tennis pacify all right? Don you got the alive.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Guy beating out the great j T. Snow You're a
live guy. Birthday of the day is Sarah Blakeley to

High School and graduated from Florida State with a communication
degree go Seminoles. While she planned to become an attorney,
she reconsidered after scooing low on the l SAT. She
(30:34):
instead accepted a job at Walt Disney World. Okay, she
worked there for three months. She also worked as a
stand up comedian during this time. Like Genie Buds, she's
a stand up comedian.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
She stabbled in it during her while while her courtship
with j Moore was going on. Really, that's right, don't
you remember that? You remember that Genie bus stand up area.
Her short stint at Disney, she had a couple of
one night stands at the Haja Hole on Pico Nothing.
Blakely accepted a job with office supply company Danka, where
(31:12):
she sold fax machines. She was quite successful in sales

Speaker 2 (32:01):
In twenty twelve, Blakely landed on the cover of Forbes
magazine for being the youngest self made female billionaire in
