(03:16):
George Lucas's birthday today. We will not celebrate him as
the alive guy. So a Star Wars fun fact. Did
you know the working title for the film that was
planned to be the original title was Adventures of Luke's Starkiller,
as taken from the journal of the Willis Saga one
(03:39):
the Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Okay, a bit of a mouthful, a little bit, you know,
USC film School, Matt the very ostentatious please.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, alright, it means like an epic you know.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh come on, it's it's epically bad. Now. Oh they've
done two, don't you much? But enjoy your grogu Tonight
is the quick hits. Everybody quick hits.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Come make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Oh yeah, Dodgers are twenty five and eighteen. They're at
home tonight versus the Giants. She Han on the mound
and the Dodgers are going for a four game split
with the Pudo Bay Balls San Francisco Giants. Otani is
not in the lineup tonight. That is the big news.
We talked about it with David Basse. Dave Roberts is
giving him a complete and total night off from pitching
(04:39):
and hitting. Here's the sound.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Oh, it's always good to have him in the lineup.
But I think that, you know, we're doing it for
the right reasons. So that's what, you know, regardless of
the result, I think we feel good about it because
we're doing it, you know, for him to give him
the best chance to be the best player he can be.
But yeah, you know, it doesn't feel good not writing
them in the lineup, but you know, that's just the
(05:03):
way it is. And we're we're we've you know, wrapped
our heads around that and feel fine about it.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
And Mookie Batts also not in the lineup. So may
the force be with the Dodgers tonight on grogu night
without those guys, and if they were able to win,
it would.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Be yes, and it would put them back in first place.
As the Padres lost a little bit earlier today to
the Milwaukee Brewers on a getaway game.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Day schedule us out.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, well, we'll dig deeper into it, but just opening week.
Give you a little bit of opening week here. Everybody
knew the Rams going to start the season in Australia
versus the forty nine Ers. They will return home, though
here on American soil for their first football game in
week two month in football against the Giants. The Chargers
will open against the Arizona Cardinals at SOFI Stadium, so
(05:58):
a home opener Week one for the Chargers, and the
Raiders will open at home in Las Vegas against the
Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I'll give my picks tomorrow. Commissioner Adam Silver says the
NBA has landed on a proposal to present to the
owners later this month to revamp the draft lottery in
an attempt to curb tanking. The three two one system,
which I believe has been explained on the show, would
give the three worst teams a lower percentage chance of
(06:31):
winning the lottery than the team's picking from fourth to tenth,
in an effort to curb the need for clubs to
be as bad as possible to and that's as bad
as there is, to increase their chances of landing a
high pick. This was discussed on the show Your.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Husband Keeps Lousey Company, as as Samson, as bad as
there is in La.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Matt bad as there is. Matt was for it, and
Don McClain, i believe, when it was explained to him,
was against it.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah. It's basically three balls for the fourth through the
tenth team, two balls for teams one through three, and
then one ball for teams after pick ten. Is how they.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Thanks for that? Yeah, you know, I'll tell me about
one one ball. There's a lot of guys out there
like that.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Okay, And you know what, there's a lot of guys
with three balls too, Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
The Ducks versus the Golden Knights, Game six is tonight
in Anaheim. The Ducks win, the Kate's Girls rejoice, offspring
plays if they force a Game seven. If they lose,
it's over.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh here, what are we hear about the Ducks and
the Cup playoffs?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I don't know, but we won't have Joe Quinninville to
pick around, excited.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
About being home here. Got a chance to get the
game seven and it can happen. I think that the
approach the last couple of days guys been good. I
think that, you know, you want to make sure that
we start hard.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Expect the big.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Push, and but let's push harder than we have all
year long. So let's be excited about a great opportunity
here tonight. Be you know, everybody contributing.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Where you're going, Kate's where you're going to watch the game? Kates,
I'm going to my sofa. I'm going to go out.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
He's going to a new bar that just knows to
Luca Lake called the Mallard.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I got no I got post games, Ah, damn it.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
You know. The Sparks said that they're going to honor
Lisa Leslie. Lisa Leslie on the Morningside high which no
longer exists, with a statue outside Crypto dot Com Arena,
will be unveiled on September twentieth, she said, to be
cemented in Los Angeles, the city that raised me. I
couldn't be more proud to be a role model forever,
Leslie said, in a statement. She is the second w
(08:56):
NBA player to get a statue, joining Seattle's Bird, who
recently broke up with her wife, Megan Rapinouh. That being said,
I mean I like Lisa Leslie a lot, and she
went to sc and she used to work out when
when with us, and when we all shared a weight room,
and this and that. But I gotta be honest, Matt,
(09:17):
I see how classy Angel Reese is as a as
a w NBA big and I see just how cool
she is and how well she carries.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And You're like, I would have liked a little bit
more of that from Liah, a.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Little bit more of that on this side at Ablewood. No,
Lisa Leslie has been nothing but but a lovely person
and a champion, Yes, no doubt about that. You can
put her right next to Lahore de la Hoya. The
World Cup starts in less than a month. Matt and
Timya say is going down.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
They're not going down. They're playing Paraguay. Wow Jude twelfth,
Sofi Stadium. FIFA has announced for.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
The first Iceland's tough. But we are Team USA and
we are going all the way.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
The first time ever. The World Cup Final at MetLife
Stadium in New Jersey on July nineteenth, will include a
Super Bowl style concert featuring a worldly Madonna.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Boom, Lizard Woman, Boom.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Colombiana? Yea yea for Africa this time for Africa, and
BTES very Strong Koreans.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
The announcement was made today by Coldplace, Chris Martin and Elmo.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
But what I'd really like to ask is if you
could help try and find some giant stars to be
part of the show.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Madonna, I do love Madonna.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
That is a fantastic idea.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
What about BTS butter and the favorite song and cookie ingredient.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
That's a brilliant idea. The other thing is how do
we get hold of BTS? Wait, who's on the phone?
Speaker 4 (11:06):
BTS, Big he RM, Sugar, Jay, Hope, Jim and Jonkuk
and jin Emo and I were wondering if you guys
might want to join us on July nineteenth.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
We'll be there, Chris for sure, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
Okay, okay, okay, okay, we just need one more big star.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Did someone say big star?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I'd be happy to help.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, who are you thinking of? Biggie?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Obviously, this whole show is gonna.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Be about me.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Good grief.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
But this show is more about we than me. I
mean it's about togetherness.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Really. Oh I love togetherness.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, as long as I don't have to share a
dressing room.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Oh, Chris, Well, the show have any surprises? Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Animal Anamal what shock Kira?
Speaker 7 (11:56):
I mean we can dream Shakira, Shakira.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I mean, I'm sure she's just wook be too busy.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
RESI wow, Cookie, Kierra Hooky can believe it? You're doing
it right. I can't. Elmo lost me with everybody loves Madonna.
Everybody does not love Madonna, Elmo.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I mean I don't know you. Saar with the what's
her name out Sabrina Carpenter at Coachella, I mean really
knocked it out of the park.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah. They better, they better get her, They better nailed
her to the ground. There's some golf news, Matt.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, opening around the PGA Championship out there in Pennsylvania.
Log Jam on top of the leaderboard. A bunch of
people tied at three unders, Anderschofle, another group of golfers
two under part Jason Day, Koepka, Spieth Ram are all
one under par Master's champ Rory shot four over after
missing nine or fourteen fairways and finished with his round. Uh,
(12:59):
he finishes around with four straight bogies after.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
That, Well, that's because his private jets in the shop.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Well, you gotta fly commercial to take a lot out
of you. If they're not going to give you the
booster seat, you know you're a little time. Afterwards, he
was asked how he would describe his opening round and
he said, I.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Don't think you can say that in any accent. Matt.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I tried to say it in a way that it
won't get beat.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
You can, you can say ass, and you can also
say urs, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Think you can say I can't do that. Huh.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I don't know. We'll be back with three things Thursday.
Everybody's happy because the NFL schedules and videos are dropping,
so we'll talk about it.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
This is Petro Send Money on demand, Demand Demand.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Thank you for listening, everybody. It is a crunching group
Thursday on Petros and Money. You can podcast our show
on the iHeartRadio app for your smartphone. It's all there free,
and of course you can stream it live there as well.
Dodgers Giants coming up. Dave's got Mookie Betts on the
(14:17):
pregame show. We talked to him earlier and big news
is show a Otani resting tonight out. Will Smith will
lead off, which will be amazing. So should be an
interesting night to see if the Dodgers can muster two
in a row. Not two World Series in a row,
they've done that, just two wins in a row. But
(14:37):
right now as the NFL, it would be pretty good.
The NFL schedule is out on schedule, and it is
it is an event. It is time for three things Thursday,
three thingsters on.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
All right, as you said, Peece, schedule is out, Rams, Chargers, Raiders,
Where when? Who?
Speaker 4 (15:05):
How?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
All of those things now have revealed themselves quickly straight
out the gate. Week one so far will be open
for business despite the Rams being in Australia. The Chargers
will host the Cardinals. They will likely be heavy favorites.
Don't know who the Cardinals quarterback will be. Will they
throw Carson Becks straight to the Wolves week one or
(15:26):
will it be Jacoby Brissett. But a team that picked
number three overall, at least you get a little Jeremiah Love,
the highest picked running backs in Saquon and twenty twenty
in the building. You'll also get an Arizona defense that
gave up the fourth most points and the sixth most
yards per game last year. That has only changed one
starter on that defense from that team. So maybe a
(15:46):
good opportunity for the new Chargers offense with Mike McDaniel
calling the plays to get off to a strong start.
More on the Chargers' schedule in a moment. The big
thing that comes out of the schedule release really is primetime.
How many primetime games did your favorite team get? Are
they playing on the holidays?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Were you sliding in primetime? Were you sliding with the
travel miles? All right?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Exactly? What are your travel miles this year? Because they
were left out of the International Series, the Chargers will
drop their flight miles by twelve thousand after going to
Brazil last year. The Rams are number two having to
go to Australia and travel miles, and it is clear
the league is really buying the Ram, like really, really
(16:32):
really buying the Rams. The Seahawks open the season on
a Wednesday. Every Super Bowl champion always plays the first
game at home. We always get the first game. The
Rams are right behind him, though every year I do
the last dance, I was waiting for you, bab I just.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Do I'm sorry. I And this year somebody told me
I should have. But I'm gonna do my kind of
dancing with a great partner, Miss baby House.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
The RAMS partner will be out in Australia. It will
be the forty nine ers kind of person.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
It showed me the kind of person that I want
to beat.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
We knew that, and we knew that it was going
to be a primetime window five thirty pm our time,
a kick against the forty nine ers. And they obviously
are not going to get a bye in week two,
but they will get some time to get reacclimated. They
will play that Thursday. Remember Australia, Meldon is fifteen hours
ahead of us, so they will leave and arrive at
(17:31):
the exact same time they left. Say they are wheels
up from Melden at six pm.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Shaw that he got off that plane from Australia with
no back.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I was never the same. They will land Friday at
six or seven pm. They will have the following Monday
before they will have to worry about playing another game.
They will play a home game on Monday Night football
against the now John Harbaugh coach Giants. Chargers had a
very similar sit situation last year. Opening Sal Paulo a
fourteen hour flight home. They played Friday following Monday night,
(18:06):
So back to back primetime for the Rams Monday Night
Football in Week two against the Giants coming off that
Thursday standalone in Australia, five point thirty kick our time
against the forty nine Ers. Week three primetime for the
Rams Broncos in Denver, Sunday Night Football. Almost another sort
of we're trying to take care of you short week
(18:26):
coming off a Monday night, but let's give you the
longest window possible Sunday Night Football, and we'll keep you close.
Just an hour forty five hour thirty or so on
the flight and a one time zone difference. Week four
in Philly that's just a standard game. Then Week five
right back in primetime, this time hosting Josh Allen and
the Bills again on Monday Night Football. So you don't
(18:50):
see this very often. The Fox and CBS folks spend
a lot of money for their games, and if the
Rams are the biggest draw this year for TV, that
would be four standalone primetime games in the first five
weeks and On top of that, the Rams are going
to play the first ever blackout Wednesday night before Thanksgiving.
(19:10):
Wednesday Night Or that is going to be coming off
there by the Packers will be their opponent at sofar
they'll also be coming off of by. Obviously, they're not
going to make you play a Wednesday game, So since
they're coming off a Wednesday game, instead of giving them
essentially another eleven days off, they're going to put them
on Thursday Night Football, so another primetime game following their
(19:31):
Wednesday Night Or. They will play Thursday Night Football against
the Chiefs at home here at SOFI Stadium, and the
Chiefs will be coming off their Thanksgiving Day game against
the Bills in Buffalo, so each of them that the
NFL has decided, if we're going to try to get
these things to work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
(19:54):
all days but Tuesday. I will give them credit for
finding out a way to at least make the rest
kind of sort of all right with the bye weeks,
and that just sheer number of weekday games they have,
so neither can really bitch about the other. Heaven and advantage.
And then after that you're on a week's rest off
(20:15):
your Wednesday to Thursday, which your Wednesday game was coming
off a buye again another ten day mini bie so Rams.
Also Christmas Day Seahawks in Seattle, tough on the family's
teams got to leave Christmas Eve, wake up in Seattle.
The Christmas slate. By the way, I think it's time
to say the NBA can probably officially pack it up
(20:36):
and just call it say whatever.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
That's not what lebron said a couple of years ago.
Well you better stuff a voice of the Bolts, Packers,
put a sock in.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
It, Packers, it Bears at ten am, builds a Broncos
at one thirty, and Christmas Night football. With last year's
NFC Conference, I'm tired of it. Seven standalone games the
Rams have nearly half of their schedule or primetime affairs.
If you want to watch Raiders Rams in Vegas and
(21:08):
make that trek out there readily, that is going to
be Week seven, October twenty fifth, a one to twenty
five pm kick. The Raiders going to open at home
against the Dolphins, certainly a winnable game after all the
purging the Dolphins did this offseason. The Raiders, because now
that they have relaxed the rules about Thursday at football
(21:31):
games and teams can play more than one. There are
teams they can leave out of Thursday and at football
and the Raiders have zero primetime games this year, not one.
Every one of their games will either be Sunday at
ten am or Sunday at one or one twenty five pm.
That is their entire schedule. And I don't know if
(21:51):
that's the league betting that maybe Fernando mendoz Is is
going to sit like Tom Brady has advocated for repeatedly
how much he learned sitting by and Drew Bledsoe his
rookie season. And they're not all that enthralled behind at
Kirk Cousins quarterback team because I would assume, coming off
a national championship and all the excitement about him, how
likable he is as a player, that you'd probably want
(22:12):
that guy in primetime at least once. But they did
not give the Raiders any primetime tilts. Again, I mentioned
Raiders Rams in Vegas. Week seven. The Raiders I mentioned
open at home against the Dolphins, and then they'll be
here Week two. Chargers Raiders first meeting Week two, one
pm kick at so far they played in Week two
(22:33):
last year in Vegas on Monday Night football, and then
the Week fourteen matchup will be the Chargers in Las
Vegas taking on the Raiders again with a one o'clock
kick and to the Chargers back to back eleven win
seasons five primetime games last year. In three of the
five they were a little bit lopsided. They crushed the Raiders,
(22:53):
the Vikings with Carson Wentz and the Steelers, but the
Monday Night or against the Eagles went to overtime. The
Saturday game against the Texans came down to a final
few minutes in a defensive struggle. But apparently the league
decided not sold only three oh no, only three primetime
games disrespect Two of them will be here in LA
and they're all late, so disrespectful may not even be
(23:16):
available for the flex into prime time. The first one
does not show up until Week ten. They will travel
to Baltimore against their former defensive coordinator now head coach
of the Ravens, Jesse Minner. That will be a Monday
night football game. Sending you to the aquarium they are,
Oh really, is that where you're sending me?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I have a beautiful Chesapeake Bay display I heard, and
you're going to go see it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Just send me back to Edgar Allen Poe's grave in
when it's raining in sheets, please. I might two teams
in the Ravens and Chargers that are favored to win
their division right now. Baltimore is the favorite to win
the AFC. The Chargers tied for third with the Chiefs
behind the Ravens and Bills to represent the conference in
Super Bowl sixty one I think sixty yeah, sixty one.
(24:00):
Play each of the five other favorites in the conference
this season at Baltimore Monday Night football. As I mentioned
at Buffalo Week three. Obviously, they will split with the
Chiefs here and there they are their Week six for
a one to twenty five CBS, perhaps Jim nance Tony
Romo special in here. Week seventeen on a TBD, depending
on how the seasons play out, could be a Saturday primetime,
(24:21):
could be a Sunday Night if the division's up for grabs.
They played the Patriots in one of their three primetime games,
a rematch of the wild Card Round in New England
last year. They'll play at SOFI here Sunday night Week twelve,
and of course the Chargers schedule release. But again whether
(24:43):
or not they feel as though that was some perceived
slight or if that is bulletin board material, we will see.
But they will play here Week twelve, Sunday Night Football,
that is the Sunday after thanks Giving. They get Houston
week nine at home as well, the easiest run for
them this season. They will play the Rams at so
(25:04):
Far a home game for the Rams one o'clock kick
on Fox Week eight. Gonna kind of be interesting to
see what that crowd will look like. And speaking of crowds,
what Kyle Shanahan said was the reason why they're playing
the Rams in Australia for a Rams home game because
they take over so far. The Charger fans will try
and hold off that sea of red that shows up
(25:24):
every time they play the Rams on Thursday Night Football.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
You know, it's hard to hold back the sea it is.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
That is Week fifteen, December seventeenth. They played the defending
Super Bowl champs Seattle in Week four one twenty five.
That could be a potential Kevin Burkhart Tom Brady broadcast
the America Game of the Week kind of thing. And
then they'll finish up the season the same way they
did last year in Denver. Hopefully that will be something
at stake in that one, as opposed to this past
(25:52):
year when they rested all of their starters. So again,
if keeping score, Raiders zero Primetime, Chargers three Prime Time,
Rams seven Prime Time, the Raiders are here against the Chargers,
Week two, the Chargers are there, Week fourteen, the Rams
are there, Week seven, Chargers Rams home game for the Rams,
Week eight. In November November one, get all your travel
(26:16):
plans squared away now and Thanksgiving Day I mentioned the
Christmas Day. If you love the NFL and you like
watching the NFL games, probably we don't want to get
to where you want on Thanksgiving because they lined it
up again I mentioned Rams Packers is Wednesday night, Bears
Lions followed by Eagles, Cowboys followed by Chiefs Bills. Is
your Thanksgiving slate.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
So there, I guess your schedule talk and tomorrow at
BJYS will go week by week and give the Chargers
and Rams wins and losses. Schedule time totally a two
and a half three and a half hour show, So
we don't have time for the Raiders, but but we
will get through the rest.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
We might be able to squeez him in.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I don't know, Matt. We'll be right back with your
dad and live guy. Birthday of the Day, Happy NFL
schedule release Day.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Southern California's most listened to sports talk show.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
This is pet on Demand, Petro Send Money, mercifully coming
to an end on this crunchy groove and Thursday. Dodgers
not as consado last night as they have been in
the past, ending a four game skid. Dodgers Giants trying
to even out this four game series tonight night. Man,
(27:44):
I hope they can do it because I don't want
to bring the Pranic Brothers to Downey, do you, Matt?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I certainly don't. Felt pretty good about last night and
what we really are concerned with, and that is individual
accomplishments and recognition for outstanding effort in the game of
Babypall and with Shohel Tani continuing to lower his league
best e r a to point a two. Really the
win was secondary, I think in terms of what we
(28:10):
were looking for, so right, you know May tonight.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Well, it all goes back to Lebron not getting the
game ball, right.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I think that's just the way we operate, now, you know,
that's who cares about your dumb little kids, you know,
making everybody get teary eyed in the locker room saying congratulations, daddy,
we miss you, but we're proud of you. I want
the game ball, and that's how I feel tonight. So
point a two e r A for Otani after I
want the gold, give be the goat, listen she and
(28:38):
give up ten runs for all I care. I just
want Otani to hit for the cycle so he can
win the cy Young and the MVP and.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
The set of the lineup tonight.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
God damn, I forgot again.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
He's Gonzalo and Oani. Some guys ice themselves all night
because that's through a picture. Otoni goes back and hits.
So you're not gonna have Otani to kick around to night,
you know, unless it's a nutcutter and they use him
as a as a pinch hit or or something.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Oh, pinch hit, double Grand Slam, eight runs. It's gonna
be awesome, all right, Matt.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
This one is dedicated to you because well, beating out
the guy that did the Hindenburg crash on radio for
the Dead Guy Birthday of the Day. I cannot do
a better job on that than Matt did a while back.
Oh but let's talk about Johnny Moss from Dallas. Johnny Moss,
(29:36):
it's a great gambler. And just the other day Matt
had a fun fact about poker and we talked about
the great ESPN Poker show Tilt still.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Disappointment watching.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
He would have been one hundred and nineteen years old today.
He learned to gamble as a young boy, learned to
cheat from shysters and great and as a team, he
was hired by a saloon to watch for cheaters and
catch them.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
This is how he wanted to get you shot right.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Well, I don't know. I mean, if this is the
guy that's there, you know he's an official. And the
saloons got their own shotgun to protect the young boy watcher.
This is how he learned poker. Matt, you had a
small stint in the poker world. I believe I remember
you playing poker when we were at the Stratosphere.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I did. Yeah, I lost a lot of money thinking
I was a good poker player, considerable sum.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
But this guy became a real rounder. I'm sure he
lost some two A person who traveled looking for gambling action.
He moved to Odessa, Texas because it was during the
oil boom, and played real high stakes poker. In nineteen
forty nine, he played a marathon heads up poker game
(31:04):
head up set up by Benny Binyon of Binion's Horseshoe
Casino against Nick the Greek. It was a famous poker
player of Crete.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I'm sure all of that was on the up and up,
a guy named Nick the Greek and freaking Binyon.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Nick Dandalos. And after he won four million dollars in
this head up poker game, he said one of the
most famous gambling quotes of all time. Nick the Greek did.
He said, mister Moss, I have to let you go.
(31:45):
He'd beat Nick the Greek so bad. The game between
Moss and Nick the Greek started the w SOP. That's
how popular it was. Oh wow, the World Series of Poker.
It was very, very very popular, and a lot of
folklore and a lot of different versions of that story.
(32:09):
He became the first runner up of the World Series
of Poker in nineteen seventy three, but he won it
in nineteen seventy, seventy one and seventy four. Well, the
original one he won.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Take that.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
That's when the men were men in Vegas. Matt He
competed at a high level of poker until nineteen ninety five.
In twenty twenty. In two thousand and five, Johnny Chan
beat his bracelet record. He was married to the same
woman his whole life. Wrote a book called How to
(32:46):
Win at Poker Wich with that very popular. Maybe I
would have done better had I read that. And he's
on everybody's mount Rushmore of poker. And he also coined
the phrase and here you go, Matt, this should make
you feel good on your way to the alive guy
Johnny Moss, the dead Guy today poker legend, coined the
(33:06):
phrase it's no disgrace to go broke.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I'll remember that when I met.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
We all feel good about her.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
She's walking out of my life. Listen, I tried my best.
No disgrace to go broke, but I understand you're alive.
Guy's a mecchas.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
He's got a connection.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Bob's amechas.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Bob's amechas to each of us. Much more to you
since you actually went to USC. He went to USC
Film School, but like me, he was born on the
South side of Chicago. His high school was actually just
right up the street from where I went to high school,
about ten blocks apart. He went to Finger I went
to Morgan Park, both on one hundred and eleventh. His
on one side of the freeway, mine on the other.
I did not know that that is where he was raised.
(33:51):
This a Mecca's story is wild. It is kind of
one of those American dreams, if you will, where guy
nearly goes out of business, almost doesn't make it, but
a bit of luck and maybe timing makes that a
fifty to fifty proposition and it goes the right way.
That was a Mechis, as I mentioned, born in Chicago,
(34:11):
he found great joy in his parents eight millimeter film
camera and started messing around with it when he was
a teenager. And it wasn't just him shooting films of
his buddies, but he started doing stop motion animation and
would work on homemade visual effects and said, had it
not been for TV, he would have never got into
(34:32):
the film industry. He learned while watching an episode of
Johnny Carson. Didn't name which director it was, but the
director talked about how he went to film school. He
did not know there was such thing as film school,
and when he told his parents that that's what he
wanted to do. They said, no chance. You are from
the South side of Chicago. Movie stars and directors do
not come from here.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
I'm from Akron, right, but I'm sitting here with Al
Pacino and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
So he went to No dickcalb but during his summers
Northern Illinois. During the summers he worked as a film
cutter at NBC News and he edited commercials and then,
without telling his parents, he put together a submission for
USC School of Cinematic Arts a music video. Remember this
is nineteen seventy, so it was a music video he
shot that was based on a Beatles song as the
(35:22):
soundtrack underneath. He did not hear back, so he called admissions.
He was told he was being rejected because of poor grades.
He begged and pleaded with the admissions counselor, saying he'd
take summer school courses, which he would ace and if so,
would they admit him. He was accepted, said when he
got there, USC Film School was a joke, a bunch
(35:43):
of hippies and embarrassment for the university. Said he did, however,
have great professors. The classes were difficult, but he said
the one theme was they all basically told them the
movie industry is so hard, you've got no chance.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Kid.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
He was a good filmmaker, and his student film A
Field of Honor won the Student Academy Award in seventy five.
That same year, Jaws had come out, and he decided
the way he was going to get in was basically,
not literally but almost kicked down the door to Steven
Spielberg's office with a copy of his film in hand,
asking him to view it with him. He walked past
(36:20):
Spielberg's assistant he was sitting in his office. They watched
the film together and Spielberg loved it and agreed to
be his mentor. He executive produced his first two films.
I Want to Hold Your Hand, which is a really
cool if you've never seen it, kind of take on
the Ed Sullivan appearance by the Beatles and these teenagers
that are trying to get in and you never really
(36:41):
see the Beatles, but it feels like they're in the film,
but they're not. Didn't make a bunch of money, but
it was critically acclaimed. Everybody loved it. Same thing with
Used Cars, which I don't know how many people have
seen it. Feels like by now it's gotten a lot
of that. So yeah, so, but again, box office not great.
He couldn't find work. He was shopping a script about
(37:02):
a teenager traveling back in time called Back to the Future.
It was turned down by every single major studio, but
on the advice of Steven Spielberg. While Zamechis was trying
to find work, Michael Douglas, because of Spielberg's recommendation, hired
him to direct his film Romancing the Stone. It was
expected to be a huge flop, so much so that
(37:25):
after watching a rough cut of the film, the producers
fired him as director. From there already in the works
movie Cocoon, But Romancing the Stone was a box office hit.
So Zamechis coming off that gets Back to the Future
gets the green light. It becomes the biggest movie of
the year. He's now calling his shots on everything. He
(37:46):
sells the idea of who framed Roger Rabbit again one
of the most expensive films ever made. Biggest film of
the year Forrest Gump seven hundred million dollars. Contact Jody Foster,
huge hit, Castaway Hanks huge hit. He and Hanks would
collaborate on a bunch after that, Polar Express was a
seminal film computer animation, motion capture. He did Flight, but
(38:10):
most recently a lot of flops. A hundred million bucks
to make The Witches, one hundred and fifty million to
make the live action Pinocchio, which won pretty much Yeah,
every razzie out there. Most recently did a film called
Here that cost fifty million and made like ten I'd
never heard of it. And he's got movie coming out
called The Last Missus Parish. He was married to the
mom from Goonies, and his second wife, the one he's
(38:34):
currently married to, was a well. She was a frequent
contributor to the soft core Skinemax, Vally Hills, Bordello Women's
Stories of Passion type shows.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
So yeah, there we go. The Robert Zamechas. There's a
Zamechas building at USC, but it's a little bit off campus.
I think it's it's right on it's not right by
the shrine across the street from the on Figaroa and thirtieth.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
I think I think he appreciates the university. He gives
a lot of money back.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
He do well. I mean that building something you should do.
You see if they're on your screen.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Something you should be doing.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Yeah, sure, okay, Making Forrest Gump is the same as
doing Sports.

as taken from the journal of the Willis Saga one
(03:39):
the Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Okay, a bit of a mouthful, a little bit, you know,
USC film School, Matt the very ostentatious please.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, alright, it means like an epic you know.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh come on, it's it's epically bad. Now. Oh they've
done two, don't you much? But enjoy your grogu Tonight
is the quick hits. Everybody quick hits.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Come make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Oh yeah, Dodgers are twenty five and eighteen. They're at
home tonight versus the Giants. She Han on the mound
and the Dodgers are going for a four game split
with the Pudo Bay Balls San Francisco Giants. Otani is
not in the lineup tonight. That is the big news.
We talked about it with David Basse. Dave Roberts is
giving him a complete and total night off from pitching
(04:39):
and hitting. Here's the sound.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Oh, it's always good to have him in the lineup.
But I think that, you know, we're doing it for
the right reasons. So that's what, you know, regardless of
the result, I think we feel good about it because
we're doing it, you know, for him to give him
the best chance to be the best player he can be.
But yeah, you know, it doesn't feel good not writing
them in the lineup, but you know, that's just the
(05:03):
way it is. And we're we're we've you know, wrapped
our heads around that and feel fine about it.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
And Mookie Batts also not in the lineup. So may
the force be with the Dodgers tonight on grogu night
without those guys, and if they were able to win,
it would.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Be yes, and it would put them back in first place.
As the Padres lost a little bit earlier today to
the Milwaukee Brewers on a getaway game.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Day schedule us out.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, well, we'll dig deeper into it, but just opening week.
Give you a little bit of opening week here. Everybody
knew the Rams going to start the season in Australia
versus the forty nine Ers. They will return home, though
here on American soil for their first football game in
week two month in football against the Giants. The Chargers
will open against the Arizona Cardinals at SOFI Stadium, so
(05:58):
a home opener Week one for the Chargers, and the
Raiders will open at home in Las Vegas against the
Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I'll give my picks tomorrow. Commissioner Adam Silver says the
NBA has landed on a proposal to present to the
owners later this month to revamp the draft lottery in
an attempt to curb tanking. The three two one system,
which I believe has been explained on the show, would
give the three worst teams a lower percentage chance of
(06:31):
winning the lottery than the team's picking from fourth to tenth,
in an effort to curb the need for clubs to
be as bad as possible to and that's as bad
as there is, to increase their chances of landing a
high pick. This was discussed on the show Your.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Husband Keeps Lousey Company, as as Samson, as bad as
there is in La.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Matt bad as there is. Matt was for it, and
Don McClain, i believe, when it was explained to him,
was against it.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah. It's basically three balls for the fourth through the
tenth team, two balls for teams one through three, and
then one ball for teams after pick ten. Is how they.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Thanks for that? Yeah, you know, I'll tell me about
one one ball. There's a lot of guys out there
like that.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Okay, And you know what, there's a lot of guys
with three balls too, Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
The Ducks versus the Golden Knights, Game six is tonight
in Anaheim. The Ducks win, the Kate's Girls rejoice, offspring
plays if they force a Game seven. If they lose,
it's over.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh here, what are we hear about the Ducks and
the Cup playoffs?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I don't know, but we won't have Joe Quinninville to
pick around, excited.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
About being home here. Got a chance to get the
game seven and it can happen. I think that the
approach the last couple of days guys been good. I
think that, you know, you want to make sure that
we start hard.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Expect the big.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Push, and but let's push harder than we have all
year long. So let's be excited about a great opportunity

Lisa Leslie. Lisa Leslie on the Morningside high which no

cemented in Los Angeles, the city that raised me. I
couldn't be more proud to be a role model forever,
Leslie said, in a statement. She is the second w
(08:56):
NBA player to get a statue, joining Seattle's Bird, who
recently broke up with her wife, Megan Rapinouh. That being said,
I mean I like Lisa Leslie a lot, and she
went to sc and she used to work out when
when with us, and when we all shared a weight room,
and this and that. But I gotta be honest, Matt,
(09:17):
I see how classy Angel Reese is as a as
a w NBA big and I see just how cool
she is and how well she carries.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And You're like, I would have liked a little bit
more of that from Liah, a.

(14:17):
pregame show. We talked to him earlier and big news
is show a Otani resting tonight out. Will Smith will
lead off, which will be amazing. So should be an
interesting night to see if the Dodgers can muster two
in a row. Not two World Series in a row,
they've done that, just two wins in a row. But
(14:37):
right now as the NFL, it would be pretty good.
The NFL schedule is out on schedule, and it is
it is an event. It is time for three things Thursday,
three thingsters on.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
All right, as you said, Peece, schedule is out, Rams, Chargers, Raiders,
Where when? Who?
Speaker 4 (15:05):
How?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
All of those things now have revealed themselves quickly straight
out the gate. Week one so far will be open
for business despite the Rams being in Australia. The Chargers
will host the Cardinals. They will likely be heavy favorites.
Don't know who the Cardinals quarterback will be. Will they
throw Carson Becks straight to the Wolves week one or
(15:26):
will it be Jacoby Brissett. But a team that picked
number three overall, at least you get a little Jeremiah Love,
the highest picked running backs in Saquon and twenty twenty
in the building. You'll also get an Arizona defense that
gave up the fourth most points and the sixth most
yards per game last year. That has only changed one
starter on that defense from that team. So maybe a
(15:46):
good opportunity for the new Chargers offense with Mike McDaniel
calling the plays to get off to a strong start.
More on the Chargers' schedule in a moment. The big
thing that comes out of the schedule release really is primetime.
How many primetime games did your favorite team get? Are
they playing on the holidays?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Were you sliding in primetime? Were you sliding with the
travel miles? All right?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Exactly? What are your travel miles this year? Because they
were left out of the International Series, the Chargers will
drop their flight miles by twelve thousand after going to
Brazil last year. The Rams are number two having to
go to Australia and travel miles, and it is clear
the league is really buying the Ram, like really, really
(16:32):
really buying the Rams. The Seahawks open the season on
a Wednesday. Every Super Bowl champion always plays the first
game at home. We always get the first game. The
Rams are right behind him, though every year I do
the last dance, I was waiting for you, bab I just.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Do I'm sorry. I And this year somebody told me
I should have. But I'm gonna do my kind of
dancing with a great partner, Miss baby House.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
The RAMS partner will be out in Australia. It will
be the forty nine ers kind of person.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
It showed me the kind of person that I want
to beat.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
We knew that, and we knew that it was going
to be a primetime window five thirty pm our time,
a kick against the forty nine ers. And they obviously
are not going to get a bye in week two,
but they will get some time to get reacclimated. They
will play that Thursday. Remember Australia, Meldon is fifteen hours
ahead of us, so they will leave and arrive at
(17:31):
the exact same time they left. Say they are wheels
up from Melden at six pm.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Shaw that he got off that plane from Australia with
no back.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I was never the same. They will land Friday at
six or seven pm. They will have the following Monday
before they will have to worry about playing another game.
They will play a home game on Monday Night football
against the now John Harbaugh coach Giants. Chargers had a
very similar sit situation last year. Opening Sal Paulo a
fourteen hour flight home. They played Friday following Monday night,
(18:06):
So back to back primetime for the Rams Monday Night
Football in Week two against the Giants coming off that
Thursday standalone in Australia, five point thirty kick our time
against the forty nine Ers. Week three primetime for the
Rams Broncos in Denver, Sunday Night Football. Almost another sort
of we're trying to take care of you short week
(18:26):
coming off a Monday night, but let's give you the
longest window possible Sunday Night Football, and we'll keep you close.
Just an hour forty five hour thirty or so on
the flight and a one time zone difference. Week four
in Philly that's just a standard game. Then Week five
right back in primetime, this time hosting Josh Allen and
the Bills again on Monday Night Football. So you don't
(18:50):
see this very often. The Fox and CBS folks spend
a lot of money for their games, and if the
Rams are the biggest draw this year for TV, that
would be four standalone primetime games in the first five
weeks and On top of that, the Rams are going
to play the first ever blackout Wednesday night before Thanksgiving.
(19:10):
Wednesday Night Or that is going to be coming off
there by the Packers will be their opponent at sofar
they'll also be coming off of by. Obviously, they're not
going to make you play a Wednesday game, So since
they're coming off a Wednesday game, instead of giving them
essentially another eleven days off, they're going to put them
on Thursday Night Football, so another primetime game following their
(19:31):
Wednesday Night Or. They will play Thursday Night Football against
the Chiefs at home here at SOFI Stadium, and the
Chiefs will be coming off their Thanksgiving Day game against
the Bills in Buffalo, so each of them that the
NFL has decided, if we're going to try to get
these things to work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
(19:54):
all days but Tuesday. I will give them credit for
finding out a way to at least make the rest
kind of sort of all right with the bye weeks,
and that just sheer number of weekday games they have,
so neither can really bitch about the other. Heaven and advantage.
And then after that you're on a week's rest off
(20:15):
your Wednesday to Thursday, which your Wednesday game was coming
off a buye again another ten day mini bie so Rams.
Also Christmas Day Seahawks in Seattle, tough on the family's
teams got to leave Christmas Eve, wake up in Seattle.
The Christmas slate. By the way, I think it's time
to say the NBA can probably officially pack it up
(20:36):
and just call it say whatever.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
That's not what lebron said a couple of years ago.
Well you better stuff a voice of the Bolts, Packers,
put a sock in.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
It, Packers, it Bears at ten am, builds a Broncos
at one thirty, and Christmas Night football. With last year's
NFC Conference, I'm tired of it. Seven standalone games the
Rams have nearly half of their schedule or primetime affairs.
If you want to watch Raiders Rams in Vegas and
(21:08):
make that trek out there readily, that is going to
be Week seven, October twenty fifth, a one to twenty
five pm kick. The Raiders going to open at home
against the Dolphins, certainly a winnable game after all the
purging the Dolphins did this offseason. The Raiders, because now
that they have relaxed the rules about Thursday at football
(21:31):
games and teams can play more than one. There are
teams they can leave out of Thursday and at football
and the Raiders have zero primetime games this year, not one.
Every one of their games will either be Sunday at
ten am or Sunday at one or one twenty five pm.
That is their entire schedule. And I don't know if
(21:51):
that's the league betting that maybe Fernando mendoz Is is
going to sit like Tom Brady has advocated for repeatedly
how much he learned sitting by and Drew Bledsoe his
rookie season. And they're not all that enthralled behind at
Kirk Cousins quarterback team because I would assume, coming off
a national championship and all the excitement about him, how
likable he is as a player, that you'd probably want
(22:12):
that guy in primetime at least once. But they did
not give the Raiders any primetime tilts. Again, I mentioned
Raiders Rams in Vegas. Week seven. The Raiders I mentioned
open at home against the Dolphins, and then they'll be
here Week two. Chargers Raiders first meeting Week two, one
pm kick at so far they played in Week two
(22:33):
last year in Vegas on Monday Night football, and then
the Week fourteen matchup will be the Chargers in Las
Vegas taking on the Raiders again with a one o'clock
kick and to the Chargers back to back eleven win
seasons five primetime games last year. In three of the
five they were a little bit lopsided. They crushed the Raiders,
(22:53):
the Vikings with Carson Wentz and the Steelers, but the
Monday Night or against the Eagles went to overtime. The
Saturday game against the Texans came down to a final
few minutes in a defensive struggle. But apparently the league
decided not sold only three oh no, only three primetime
games disrespect Two of them will be here in LA
and they're all late, so disrespectful may not even be
(23:16):
available for the flex into prime time. The first one
does not show up until Week ten. They will travel
to Baltimore against their former defensive coordinator now head coach
of the Ravens, Jesse Minner. That will be a Monday
night football game. Sending you to the aquarium they are,
Oh really, is that where you're sending me?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I have a beautiful Chesapeake Bay display I heard, and
you're going to go see it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Just send me back to Edgar Allen Poe's grave in
when it's raining in sheets, please. I might two teams
in the Ravens and Chargers that are favored to win
their division right now. Baltimore is the favorite to win
the AFC. The Chargers tied for third with the Chiefs
behind the Ravens and Bills to represent the conference in
Super Bowl sixty one I think sixty yeah, sixty one.
(24:00):
Play each of the five other favorites in the conference
this season at Baltimore Monday Night football. As I mentioned
at Buffalo Week three. Obviously, they will split with the
Chiefs here and there they are their Week six for
a one to twenty five CBS, perhaps Jim nance Tony
Romo special in here. Week seventeen on a TBD, depending
on how the seasons play out, could be a Saturday primetime,
(24:21):
could be a Sunday Night if the division's up for grabs.
They played the Patriots in one of their three primetime games,
a rematch of the wild Card Round in New England
last year. They'll play at SOFI here Sunday night Week twelve,
and of course the Chargers schedule release. But again whether
(24:43):
or not they feel as though that was some perceived
slight or if that is bulletin board material, we will see.
But they will play here Week twelve, Sunday Night Football,
that is the Sunday after thanks Giving. They get Houston
week nine at home as well, the easiest run for
them this season. They will play the Rams at so
(25:04):
Far a home game for the Rams one o'clock kick
on Fox Week eight. Gonna kind of be interesting to
see what that crowd will look like. And speaking of crowds,
what Kyle Shanahan said was the reason why they're playing
the Rams in Australia for a Rams home game because
they take over so far. The Charger fans will try
and hold off that sea of red that shows up
(25:24):
every time they play the Rams on Thursday Night Football.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
You know, it's hard to hold back the sea it is.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
That is Week fifteen, December seventeenth. They played the defending
Super Bowl champs Seattle in Week four one twenty five.
That could be a potential Kevin Burkhart Tom Brady broadcast
the America Game of the Week kind of thing. And
then they'll finish up the season the same way they
did last year in Denver. Hopefully that will be something
at stake in that one, as opposed to this past
(25:52):
year when they rested all of their starters. So again,
if keeping score, Raiders zero Primetime, Chargers three Prime Time,
Rams seven Prime Time, the Raiders are here against the Chargers,
Week two, the Chargers are there, Week fourteen, the Rams
are there, Week seven, Chargers Rams home game for the Rams,
Week eight. In November November one, get all your travel
(26:16):
plans squared away now and Thanksgiving Day I mentioned the
Christmas Day. If you love the NFL and you like
watching the NFL games, probably we don't want to get
to where you want on Thanksgiving because they lined it
up again I mentioned Rams Packers is Wednesday night, Bears
Lions followed by Eagles, Cowboys followed by Chiefs Bills. Is
your Thanksgiving slate.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
So there, I guess your schedule talk and tomorrow at
BJYS will go week by week and give the Chargers
and Rams wins and losses. Schedule time totally a two
and a half three and a half hour show, So
we don't have time for the Raiders, but but we
will get through the rest.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
We might be able to squeez him in.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I don't know, Matt. We'll be right back with your
dad and live guy. Birthday of the Day, Happy NFL
schedule release Day.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Southern California's most listened to sports talk show.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
This is pet on Demand, Petro Send Money, mercifully coming
to an end on this crunchy groove and Thursday. Dodgers
not as consado last night as they have been in
the past, ending a four game skid. Dodgers Giants trying
to even out this four game series tonight night. Man,
(27:44):
I hope they can do it because I don't want
to bring the Pranic Brothers to Downey, do you, Matt?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I certainly don't. Felt pretty good about last night and
what we really are concerned with, and that is individual
accomplishments and recognition for outstanding effort in the game of
Babypall and with Shohel Tani continuing to lower his league
best e r a to point a two. Really the
win was secondary, I think in terms of what we
(28:10):
were looking for, so right, you know May tonight.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Well, it all goes back to Lebron not getting the
game ball, right.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I think that's just the way we operate, now, you know,
that's who cares about your dumb little kids, you know,
making everybody get teary eyed in the locker room saying congratulations, daddy,
we miss you, but we're proud of you. I want
the game ball, and that's how I feel tonight. So
point a two e r A for Otani after I
want the gold, give be the goat, listen she and
(28:38):
give up ten runs for all I care. I just
want Otani to hit for the cycle so he can
win the cy Young and the MVP and.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
The set of the lineup tonight.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
God damn, I forgot again.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
He's Gonzalo and Oani. Some guys ice themselves all night
because that's through a picture. Otoni goes back and hits.
So you're not gonna have Otani to kick around to night,
you know, unless it's a nutcutter and they use him
as a as a pinch hit or or something.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Oh, pinch hit, double Grand Slam, eight runs. It's gonna
be awesome, all right, Matt.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
This one is dedicated to you because well, beating out
the guy that did the Hindenburg crash on radio for
the Dead Guy Birthday of the Day. I cannot do
a better job on that than Matt did a while back.
Oh but let's talk about Johnny Moss from Dallas. Johnny Moss,
(29:36):
it's a great gambler. And just the other day Matt
had a fun fact about poker and we talked about
the great ESPN Poker show Tilt still.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Disappointment watching.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
He would have been one hundred and nineteen years old today.
He learned to gamble as a young boy, learned to
cheat from shysters and great and as a team, he
was hired by a saloon to watch for cheaters and
catch them.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
This is how he wanted to get you shot right.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Well, I don't know. I mean, if this is the
guy that's there, you know he's an official. And the
saloons got their own shotgun to protect the young boy watcher.
This is how he learned poker. Matt, you had a
small stint in the poker world. I believe I remember
you playing poker when we were at the Stratosphere.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I did. Yeah, I lost a lot of money thinking
I was a good poker player, considerable sum.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
But this guy became a real rounder. I'm sure he
lost some two A person who traveled looking for gambling action.
He moved to Odessa, Texas because it was during the
oil boom, and played real high stakes poker. In nineteen
forty nine, he played a marathon heads up poker game
(31:04):
head up set up by Benny Binyon of Binion's Horseshoe
Casino against Nick the Greek. It was a famous poker
player of Crete.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I'm sure all of that was on the up and up,
a guy named Nick the Greek and freaking Binyon.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Nick Dandalos. And after he won four million dollars in
this head up poker game, he said one of the
most famous gambling quotes of all time. Nick the Greek did.
He said, mister Moss, I have to let you go.
(31:45):
He'd beat Nick the Greek so bad. The game between
Moss and Nick the Greek started the w SOP. That's
how popular it was. Oh wow, the World Series of Poker.
It was very, very very popular, and a lot of
folklore and a lot of different versions of that story.
(32:09):
He became the first runner up of the World Series
of Poker in nineteen seventy three, but he won it
in nineteen seventy, seventy one and seventy four. Well, the
original one he won.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Take that.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
That's when the men were men in Vegas. Matt He
competed at a high level of poker until nineteen ninety five.
In twenty twenty. In two thousand and five, Johnny Chan
beat his bracelet record. He was married to the same
woman his whole life. Wrote a book called How to
(32:46):
Win at Poker Wich with that very popular. Maybe I
would have done better had I read that. And he's
on everybody's mount Rushmore of poker. And he also coined
the phrase and here you go, Matt, this should make
you feel good on your way to the alive guy
Johnny Moss, the dead Guy today poker legend, coined the
(33:06):
phrase it's no disgrace to go broke.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I'll remember that when I met.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
We all feel good about her.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
She's walking out of my life. Listen, I tried my best.
No disgrace to go broke, but I understand you're alive.
Guy's a mecchas.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
He's got a connection.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Bob's amechas.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Bob's amechas to each of us. Much more to you
since you actually went to USC. He went to USC
Film School, but like me, he was born on the
South side of Chicago. His high school was actually just
right up the street from where I went to high school,
about ten blocks apart. He went to Finger I went
to Morgan Park, both on one hundred and eleventh. His
on one side of the freeway, mine on the other.
I did not know that that is where he was raised.
(33:51):
This a Mecca's story is wild. It is kind of
one of those American dreams, if you will, where guy
nearly goes out of business, almost doesn't make it, but
a bit of luck and maybe timing makes that a
fifty to fifty proposition and it goes the right way.
That was a Mechis, as I mentioned, born in Chicago,
(34:11):
he found great joy in his parents eight millimeter film
camera and started messing around with it when he was
a teenager. And it wasn't just him shooting films of
his buddies, but he started doing stop motion animation and
would work on homemade visual effects and said, had it
not been for TV, he would have never got into
(34:32):
the film industry. He learned while watching an episode of
Johnny Carson. Didn't name which director it was, but the
director talked about how he went to film school. He
did not know there was such thing as film school,
and when he told his parents that that's what he
wanted to do. They said, no chance. You are from
the South side of Chicago. Movie stars and directors do
not come from here.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
I'm from Akron, right, but I'm sitting here with Al
Pacino and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
So he went to No dickcalb but during his summers
Northern Illinois. During the summers he worked as a film
cutter at NBC News and he edited commercials and then,
without telling his parents, he put together a submission for
USC School of Cinematic Arts a music video. Remember this
is nineteen seventy, so it was a music video he
shot that was based on a Beatles song as the
(35:22):
soundtrack underneath. He did not hear back, so he called admissions.
He was told he was being rejected because of poor grades.
He begged and pleaded with the admissions counselor, saying he'd
take summer school courses, which he would ace and if so,
would they admit him. He was accepted, said when he
got there, USC Film School was a joke, a bunch
(35:43):
of hippies and embarrassment for the university. Said he did, however,
have great professors. The classes were difficult, but he said
the one theme was they all basically told them the
movie industry is so hard, you've got no chance.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Kid.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
He was a good filmmaker, and his student film A
Field of Honor won the Student Academy Award in seventy five.
That same year, Jaws had come out, and he decided
the way he was going to get in was basically,
not literally but almost kicked down the door to Steven
Spielberg's office with a copy of his film in hand,
asking him to view it with him. He walked past
(36:20):
Spielberg's assistant he was sitting in his office. They watched
the film together and Spielberg loved it and agreed to
be his mentor. He executive produced his first two films.
I Want to Hold Your Hand, which is a really
cool if you've never seen it, kind of take on
the Ed Sullivan appearance by the Beatles and these teenagers
that are trying to get in and you never really
(36:41):
see the Beatles, but it feels like they're in the film,
but they're not. Didn't make a bunch of money, but
it was critically acclaimed. Everybody loved it. Same thing with
Used Cars, which I don't know how many people have
seen it. Feels like by now it's gotten a lot
of that. So yeah, so, but again, box office not great.
He couldn't find work. He was shopping a script about
(37:02):
a teenager traveling back in time called Back to the Future.
It was turned down by every single major studio, but
on the advice of Steven Spielberg. While Zamechis was trying
to find work, Michael Douglas, because of Spielberg's recommendation, hired
him to direct his film Romancing the Stone. It was
expected to be a huge flop, so much so that
(37:25):
after watching a rough cut of the film, the producers
fired him as director. From there already in the works
movie Cocoon, But Romancing the Stone was a box office hit.
So Zamechis coming off that gets Back to the Future
gets the green light. It becomes the biggest movie of
the year. He's now calling his shots on everything. He
(37:46):
sells the idea of who framed Roger Rabbit again one
of the most expensive films ever made. Biggest film of
the year Forrest Gump seven hundred million dollars. Contact Jody Foster,
huge hit, Castaway Hanks huge hit. He and Hanks would
collaborate on a bunch after that, Polar Express was a
seminal film computer animation, motion capture. He did Flight, but
(38:10):
most recently a lot of flops. A hundred million bucks
to make The Witches, one hundred and fifty million to
make the live action Pinocchio, which won pretty much Yeah,
every razzie out there. Most recently did a film called
Here that cost fifty million and made like ten I'd
never heard of it. And he's got movie coming out
called The Last Missus Parish. He was married to the
mom from Goonies, and his second wife, the one he's
(38:34):
currently married to, was a well. She was a frequent
contributor to the soft core Skinemax, Vally Hills, Bordello Women's
Stories of Passion type shows.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
So yeah, there we go. The Robert Zamechas. There's a
Zamechas building at USC, but it's a little bit off campus.
I think it's it's right on it's not right by
the shrine across the street from the on Figaroa and thirtieth.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
I think I think he appreciates the university. He gives
a lot of money back.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
He do well. I mean that building something you should do.
You see if they're on your screen.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Something you should be doing.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Yeah, sure, okay, Making Forrest Gump is the same as
doing Sports.
