excited because we never get to see fights at sporting

(01:46):
events when there's fifty thousand people packed into a high
octane usual environment.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Usually because we leave early. But after we leave there's
a lot of fighting because of drinking. Apparently, it was
the talk of Angel Stadium on Tuesday night, Let's fight
the night before the night that all right? Fine, Tim,
I was trying to do a positive story about Chris
Taylor finally hitting a flare.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Well, I mean it was a little sarcastic talking about
one for nine, like strikeout, strikeout, and then give me
the timpany flair.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
I can't change his stats. The guy had a hit. Okay,
I watch a game if he had two hits.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
He'd even make a big deal about the stolen base
you were like, and he ended up on a second
because he scurried like an be fair.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I don't really know how he got the second. I
looked down and I looked back up and he was
on second. He didn't see, so he scurried one way
or the other. He could have been knocked over there.
I don't know what happened. He's a rat. It's time
to the file our fun fast effect. Yeah, we're three
fasts fun. Did you know?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
There is a psychological classification called cheerophobia to find ass
a fear of happiness, often involving an irrational belief that
happiness can lead to negative consequences. Symptoms include anxiety and
social settings, avoidance of pleasurable activities, and a belief that

(03:04):
you don't deserve to be happy.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
You okay, Matt? Did you know? Yeah? I know? Did
you know? You aren't describing me to a T half off?
I don't need that. That is not true, Joe, that's
not true.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
It was part of the Kickass Facts dot com sixty
fun facts for Today.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I'll tell you what this subscribes. Petros Pappada case to
a T. Why don't you read it again, Matt? For
everybody just so they know you could literally be sitting
in the Pentagon right now and they'd be This is
like somebody reading off my psychological profile. Go ahead, Matt,
read it off. Did you know that's a matter of fact?

Speaker 1 (03:50):
I do.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
There is a psychological classification called cheerophobia, defined as a
fear of happiness, often involving an irrational belief that happiness
can lead to negative consequences.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Says, it's irrational. I know what happened. Every time I'm happy,
something bad happen.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Symptoms include anxiety and social settings.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
It never happens to me. I'm fine.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Well, but this does not describe you at all. Avoidance
of pleasurable activities. You know, I hate you, I really.
It popped up on the kick Ass Facts today and
the belief they don't deserve to be happy.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Quick hits. I am just I'm laughing, but I'm crying.
It's high some toms. Quick hits I Maggie quick, y'all.
Oh yeah, today's kind allow of fun. Fact obsessive compulsive
behavioral disorder. There a lot of people that haven't. I've
never heard of anybody that's got it, but it was

(04:49):
on my kick Ass back today. The Dodgers are thirty
four and twenty two, and yet we still freak out
about everything. Yes, they take all the Yankees Tomorrow night.
The Catman, You're the cat and Max Freed. Damn it.
Pitching matchup yam yam ya. In the series opener, the

(05:13):
Dodgers acquired a reliever. David Vassa is pretty happy about it.
Alexis Diaz. They trade with the Reds today. They give
up Mike Vallani, a thirteenth round pick from twenty twenty
four out of Long Beach Stage. He never knew you.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Mike Dave described the as as someone who is incredibly talented,
had amassed something like forty eight saves in one season.
That he has lost his way twenty eight hamstring any
injury has lost his way.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Many NFL players have allegedly eagerly expressed their desire to
take part in the usc as first black football team
twenty twenty eight Olympics. Two Super Bowl winning quarterbacks have
given less than enthusiastic answers when asked about their possible
inclusion on the team. Patrick Mahomes said, leave that to
the younger days. Let's coach Matthew Stafford, whose wife just

(06:06):
got her ass reconstructed turned thirty seven in February, offered
a more humorous response when he was asked about his
possible interest in playing flag football for the Red, White
and Blue.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
How do you know that?

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Well, it says here, No, I meant the ass implant. Oh,
she said that on her podcast that she had her
mommy makeover, asked Boobs and gut all redone mommy makeover. Yes,
how do you know that that? She said it on
her podcast and you listen to that. I did not.
I was aggregated your word. There you go. You don't

(06:40):
say that that is our word? Stafford said, you talking
about coaching? What with a smile? Sure, I mean nobody's
gonna want me, but sure would be fun or coach? Okay, whatever?

Speaker 3 (06:52):
F you?

Speaker 2 (06:53):
How do you know that? Finally somebody said something right?
Notre Dame's annual rivalry against USC the most story feud
in college football history, but hangs in the balance with
sweeping schedule changes across the sport. I don't think it's
really going to go away. And if it does, oh,
there's one person you can point the finger, eg. Yeah,

(07:14):
Lincoln Riley Losa. But Marcus Freeman didn't mince words. When
asked about the future of the series, pretty black and
white for me, Freeman told reporters across the world through
the South Bend Tribune, it's good paper. It's a free paper,
but it's good. You want my opinion, we do. I
want to play them every single year when I don't care.

(07:35):
I don't care when we play them started the season,
middle of the season, end of the season. I don't care.
I want to play USC every year because I think
it's great for college football, that rivalry. Before I even
got to Notre Dame, everybody watched that game. Everybody remembers
moments from that game that just stick out in their mind.
Thank you, coach, appreciate it. I do disagree. I think
it does matter when you play. I think that you

(07:57):
have to play in October when it's a Notre Dame,
and I think, and it's not changing, beautiful, And I
think you have to play in late November when it's
here in LA and that's that's what it has to be.
And I will not accept anything else. I'm serious.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
What if they tell you the only way to continue
the rivalry is to change when it's played.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
I know that's not the case. But I'm asking, but
that's not the case, Like these people are cowards. This
is the worst thing I've ever seen anything out of
my university. And there's so many terrible things beyond the
victimization of people and stuff that has come from the
university as we know. This is the worst thing ever.
This is This is spitting on your own grave. This

(08:39):
is desecrating your own history, which makes you special. For
no reason. USC is so great in college football that
they play Notre Dame every year and it's happened for
over one hundred years, and you want to mess with
it because your coach is soft, or you join the
Big Ten for a bunch of money. F you. Sorry.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
You always talk about the young people not being in
tune with this sort of thing, you know, like when
you're young and you're playing, it's just like the other
The outside world doesn't really arrive on your doorstep. I
was at the Chargers OTAs and Cam Hart, Notre Dame
defensive back, was one of the guys at the podium
after and I decided to ask him what do you
think about the rivalry going to play? And he said,

(09:19):
what do you mean? Said the US rabbit. He didn't
know about. It's like when I said, well, they might
just sign a one year extension, well, yeah, and then
they'll just keep playing, right, I was like, no, no,
they're talking about Indian they will cam You're right, But
he was just in disbelief, like, well, no, that's that's
not a story.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
You ask me such a dumb question. That's that's that's ridiculous.
It is ridiculous and a rob a generation of Notre
Dame players from playing out here and playing USC there,
and a generation of USC players playing there and here
is unfathomable. That's not cool. Oh but we might make
the playoff if we beat Rutgers. Shut up. Great news
for Mike Leach fans. This is cool. Then they needed

(09:56):
to do this. The Hall of Fame is going to
lower the win percentage in twenty twenty seven for coaches
from sixty to fifty nine point five percent, which will
make former Mississippi State, Texas Tech, and Wazou coach eligible
for the Hall of Fame. God rest is soul, hated
the offense, Love the man in Matt. The twenty twenty
five you Sela Hall of Fame class was announced today.

(10:20):

Speaker 3 (10:54):
We got Hall of Fame, we got UCLA Athletics Hall

Angel CITYFC contest with tickets available at Angelcity dot com.
We have other women's soccer news racing Louisville's that's the
same league as the Angel CITYFC. There, Kayla Fisher has

(11:14):
been suspended for three games after pulling an opponent down

Oh my god, Madison Hammond wo God. Basically clothes line

(11:46):

and twisted her around and then threw her down.

Speaker 2 (11:54):

or she knew she was going on the Hall of Fame.
That's right after video review. Fisher was given a red card.

Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio A. Congratulations to Larry Kurtz.
He is going to Dodger Stadium tomorrow for Dodgers Yankees
will be out there as well.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Joining us now is Don mcclan.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
Live on your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. It
is Don mcclan our BFF, the leading scar in the
history of the PAC twelve Superstar U see LA Basketball
Players ten years in the.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
NBA Award, winning a statue that commemorates his greatness at
Lemon Park in his hometown of Semi Valley. You see
him on FanDuel Sports FS one Big Ten Network and
he works at c AA. It is Don McLain, the
baron of Box Canyon on Petros some money. What's cracking? Don?
How are you wait?

Speaker 4 (13:17):
They're allowing you guys back at Dodger Stadium?

Speaker 2 (13:19):
About that, right, you guys weren't allowed there anymore? Pretty cool? Right,
change the regime, Matt and I. This will be the
what is it third or fourth fourth time this year.
So that's a good time in a week. One more
time and that's as many blown saves as Tanner. Scottis
like that, all right? Don you know you're a basketball purist.
Of course. I don't think of anybody else we know

(13:42):
that that that could be said about more Oklahoma City, Indiana.
What intrigues you about this other than your personal relationship?

Speaker 4 (13:55):
I think what intrigues me is indiana style of play
versus art not arguably the best defense in the league.
I think it'll be fascinating if Indiana closes it out
tonight or in Game six. To watch you know what
OKAC tries to do in terms of tempo, what the
complexion of the game looks like. I think there's enough

(14:16):
star power there that people be interested. It's just, you know,
for the people at the league, they always want big
market teams, and obviously Indiana and OKAC aren't big markets.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Don in terms of just I think the last time
we saw anything like this would probably be considered Cleveland
versus San Antonio, but it was Tim Duncan versus Lebron James.
That's what helped get that over the hump. What about
star power, Like, are we talking in your opinion about
future superstars because they're so young? Maybe the face of
the NBA and Shay Gilgess Alexander who's the MVP, and

(14:49):
Tyrese Halliburton. Is this a superstar showdown?

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (14:53):
I don't think to the degree of Duncan and Lebron obviously,
but I think, yeah, there's a changing of the right
now in the league that the older guys are getting
old and almost being done and there's this new wave
of young players that are really good. I think the
one thing with Killdes Alexander that turns people off is
the foul drawing and the foul baiting and all that stuff,

(15:14):
and I you know, he's getting some incoming for that.
And you guys remember all the speaking of incoming, all
the incoming I took when I said something to the
same effect about James Harden, And yes, the league changed,
the league changed the rules, and Harden, you know, adapted,
and he doesn't do it anymore. And I'm not sure
why kill does. Alexander all of a sudden is kind
of morphing back into that that he's getting all these

(15:35):
calls and drawing all these fouls, and the officials know
that he's trying to bait them into making calls and
he's getting them. So from that standpoint, esthetically, I don't
think OKAC is as fun to watch as they could be,
just because of that.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
The one and only Don McClain is our guest. Was
he a foul free throw merchant?

Speaker 6 (15:57):
No?

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Were you done? Were you a free throw merchant?

Speaker 4 (16:01):
No? No, I wasn't good enough. The referees didn't care
about me.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
You can only be a free throw merchant if the
refs are complicit.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
If you're a star player.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah, all right, Tom McClain, is I understand it better?

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Now?

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Why do people. I mean, I don't know if people
have a problem with Halliburton or not. Is there what
is so special about him that? I mean, he kind
of has flown under the radar, but this guy's sort
of taken the playoffs by the neck and become the story,
not just the clutch shooting, but just his overall play.
What is it about him that makes him so special?

Speaker 4 (16:39):
Well, he's really confident and he's confident his abilities. And
unfortunately I spent time with him on Zooms. His his
draft year was the COVID year, so they actually didn't
come out here, but we spent time over Zoom and
he's a great kid, Like you know, he just he's
a good leader.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
You know.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
I think his shots a little weird, you know what,
People won't give him his due. I'm not sure, but
I think it's just like the quirky nature a little bit.
That shot doesn't look great, but it goes in. But
I think the more time goes on and the more
that Indiana wins, which it looks like they're going to,
that he'll get what he deserves. And you know the
whole idea that you know, people saying on TV that

(17:21):
Brunton's a superstar, but Halliburton's not. But Halliburton's got better
credentials than bruntson. I can't figure that one out.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
What about don the I guess just to flip it
back here to the Lakers and Clippers in Town and
the Western Conference. How big of a problem is this
for those teams that Oklahoma City is young. They are
locked up these young players for a while. They're going
to be playing together and they are just winning like
they're setting They're making history with how badly they're beating

(17:50):
their opponents in this run to an NBA championship. Is
is this something that looks like, Man, this team is
going to be way better than most of the other
teams in the Western Conference for a while.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
I'm Sam prest He's the smartest guy in the NBA.
And one thing he forgot Matt is how many draft
picks they still have. So don't be surprised if they
package some of these picks and get whatever they think
they need to really get him over the hump. If
they don't win it this year, which it looks like
they're going to, I mean, this team could be good
for a long long time because of the fact that

(18:23):
they have these guys. Now they're gonna have to really
start paying some guys, and that's when it gets a
little interesting how deep they're willing to go into the tax.
But they can get guys, you know, with better contracts
with those draft picks, so they are set up perfectly
for a long run here.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Do you think Austin Reeves is gonna shop himself and
leave the Lakers? And if he does, do you think
that's smart of Austin Reeves to do? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
I mean, I think if he were to do that,
it's because he sees that Lebron's almost done and there's
probably gonna be somewhat of a rebuild around Luca, and
maybe that would be his motivation for doing that. But look,
he became a really good player in LA. He's a
big part of their plans. They've already paid him. I

(19:10):
would be I would be surprised if a he wanted
to leave, and be if the Lakers let him leave.
That's the thing I don't get, Like these players say
they want to be traded and then the team trades him.
What if you don't want to trade him, don't I
don't get that part of all this. That just because
a guy says he wants to be traded, you like,
get rid of him. Pat Riley and that's the thing.
Pat Riley tried to hold his ground and it kind

(19:31):
of blew up in his face. But that's you know,
we've talked about this a lot, the empowerment of the
players and how much power they have in deciding, you know,
where they go, where they play and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
I mean, if there was one guy that was going
to put his foot down and make a point, you know,
and just tell Jimmy Butler to go sit in the
janitor's closet for the next six months, it would have
been Riley. And it didn't happen. He ended up getting
exactly what he wanted in a trade. It wasn't to Phoenix,
but it still was to Golden State in a run
at the playoffs. Don Just in terms of the Austin

(20:03):
Reeves thing, there's you know, there's speculations on both sides
that maybe he wants to go or maybe the Lakers
recognize it's their only true chip in order to get
a center. Do you think that's something they desperately need?
Do they need a frontline? I mean, it's the first time,
I've heard people say, oh, they've got to have a center.
My gosh, we talked about centerless teams for the last
ten years, and now all of a sudden, this, yeah,

(20:25):
is that what they need to try to get this
thing to work?

Speaker 4 (20:28):
Well, I think because they got exposed in the playoffs
without a center. You need jerkt and automatically assume, well,
we need a center. And I hadn't really thought about
that when you asked the question, I mean, could what
kind of center could they get for Austin Reeves? I
guess is the question like a good center or just
like a rotation center. Can you get a starting center
for Austin Reeves?

Speaker 2 (20:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
I don't talk to enough people to know that, but
I could see that. I could see that. You know,
with Luca Now, maybe they don't need Reeves, and if
they think they need a center, he probably is the
only real chip to go get somebody that's good that's
a starting NBA center.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
Just sticking with trades because it just popped into my
head when we were talking about it, in trading for
a center because you were invested in in Halliburton. Do
you remember what you thought at the time, of the
King's Deal that they decided to send out Haliburton, who
had a hell of a rookie year.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
For Sabonis, well, remember they had didn't they have dearon
Fox already, and they did draft dearon Fox. I think
that was probably the reason why. But you know, they
figured they needed frontline help, and I didn't mind the
trade for either side at the time. And this whole thing,
Matt is about opportunity and getting to a place like

(21:39):
Halliburton was never going to be a star playing beside
dearon Fox. So it worked out for him going to Indiana,
and it worked out for Sacramento to a certain degree
that they got Sabonis and still had Fox. So that's
kind of life in the NBA that you know, you
got to give some That's why I said about Austin Reeves,
like to get somebody good, you got to give up
somebody good. You can't get somebody good for crappy players.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Now, don I'm getting a few texts on the secret
text also line that are confirming that you were fouled
throughout your career mercilessly, and it was almost like you know,
they had something against you. Did you feel that.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
No, okay, but I was no, but I was a
ninety percent free throw shooter, So not good strategy on
their partner.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, only Tom McClane is our guest and we're always
happy to talk to him. Is camp McClain going okay?
And how much longer are you in the trenches here?
Don training all these guys including Cooper Flag for the draft.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
It's going really well. Guys have started team workouts, Guys
have gone out and come back and the feedback has
been really good. We had a kid, Labaron Phylon today
decided to go back to Alabama, which I thought was
a good move. He was a Brin's first rounder and
had I think three or fourteen workouts and the feedback
was good, but it was going to be, you know,
dice if he was in fact going to get in
the first round, and that's what he wanted, so he

(22:59):
went back to And then another kid, Zamir Walkin, stay
in the draft today. But yeah, they're in and out
and they'll be gone for good by early next week.
We do have a high school, really high level high
school kid that is going to try out for the
U nineteen team at Team USA in two weeks, so
We're going to continue with him for the next couple
of weeks, but we'll be done. We'll be officially done

(23:22):
and everything wrapped up by the fourteenth of June.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Did a couple of five lines games, and man, that
dude has got for lack of a better term, sorry
Brian Balls, I mean that dude had no fear out
on the court in those games. I call this against
the Texas and Auburn.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
The way you guys are no And I'll tell you
I've been doing this a long time, as you guys know.
But the group we had this year, because we had
we had a really good group, good good kids, good
you know, on time and doing all the right things.
But they were competitive and they were tough, and file
On was one of those guys. Our three on three
Live stuff was high level this year because these guys
are just tough and went at each other and that's

(23:59):
a mess, as I give them. When they get there.
It's like we almost we're forming a team to make
each other better, to get what we want individually, and
that's at the draft. And it was really really good
this year from that regard, and Filon was one of
those guys for sure.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Stretching his legs to the finish of Camp mclan. It
is Don McLean, Ben Dorgon is waiting or some other
place like that. We enjoy you, Don and thank you
so much. Have a wonderful day and productive weekend.

Speaker 4 (24:29):

lucky someone that will join us at Dodgers stakings high tickets.
And remember before you go in, do yourself a favor.
Stop and get a look at that gondola car because
it really is something just sitting there on the pavement,
not on the table.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
It's the future. Uh, put your eyes feel. It's the
closest thing I've ever felt like to where I go
to Tomorrowland in Disneyland. Yes, it's going to be.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
It's right, Captain eel Uh, be sure to put your
eyes on that. Then come on in and check out
the Petros and Money Show, because we're gonna have our
feet on the dirt. On the grass, no, you get
yelled at for that, but on the dirt, yes we are. Well, yeah,
you're the one that calls out shaking and his feathered
hair yesterday and said you were gonna mean mug and
we can't do it from the sweets, So we got
to get back on the field.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Go down there and mean mugg them, and then I'm
going back. That's right, because the Dodgers aren't providing much
and it's an Apple TV game, right. Apple TV called us,
they said, would you please put one of our broadcasters on? Absolutely,
We said we're not going to put the Dazzler, so
we want don Trell. Don Trell not available for three days?
Why would you call us? Don't call us? Then, well,
let's get Katie Nolan. I believe she's no longer associated,

(26:13):

We can look into that. But I'm not putting the
dazzler on. But he dazzles's trout it here. Vask Gershon
won't talk to us if we put the dasseler. All right, Matt,
you got the dead guy birth there of the day.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
I do very excited about this one, pens Ignor gay U,
stud of studs, dude of dudes.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
One of the.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Baddest mother scratchers to have ever walked the earth. And
he didn't walk the earth. He climbed the earth, is
what he did.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
I'm sure he had to get there, you know, somehow.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah, but you know, ultimately he's known for climb and
not walking. Hey does that guy walk around?

Speaker 1 (26:44):
No?

Speaker 2 (26:44):
That guy climbed well, right, But it's not like you know, you,
Saint Both his biggest church bell. You Saint Boat doesn't
just sprint into the rider and knock over all this time.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
But when I say Saint both, you Saint Both, do
you visualize him walking around town or do.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
You visualize him sprinting and tenzing? Was it?

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Man?

Speaker 3 (27:02):
It would have been one hundred and eleven today, born
in Nepaul or Tibet. Conflicting accounts.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
I'm born anybody there that can call basketball?

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Born around today, We're really going to do Nepal. Yes
we are, and Tibet and me and Mark. We have
money for that. Yeah, two weeks, money for that, money
for every Money's not an object. He was born around today.
He knew it was late May. He knew he was
in the year of the Rabbit, so it was nineteen fourteen.
He chose May twenty ninth because that was the day

(27:31):
he reached the summit of Everest in nineteen fifty three,
seventy two years ago. Today we're gonna go. Born in Tibet,
grew up in Carda, then Nepaul. Before he was a teenager,
he worked for a Sherpa family in Kumbu, which is
near Mount Everett.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
I know that everybody knows now well, yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
And everybody knows that the locals call it Chomolomna Holy Mother. Yeah, listen,
I can probably do the Nepal feet. I mean, I mean,
you hear my pronunciation. Good Matt from base camp camp.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
It's me.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
He was a Buddhist, multiple times considered the monastery, actually
entered the monastery once decided not for me.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
I was born to Klon climb up to the monastery.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
The lama and founder of the Rongbuk Monastery changed his
name to Tenzing Norgay, meaning wealthy, fortunate, follower of religion.
His father, as you guessed it, he much like your
ancestors a Yak herder no comment. Tenzing ran away a
couple times when he was young to Katmandu, then Darjeeling.

(28:33):
Got Indian citizenship at nineteen, settled into the SRPE community.
At twenty he joined the shipped in British Mount Everest
recon expedition.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
You're trying to say that my family smuggles cocaine.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
He tried to take on Everest from the Tibetan side,
failed again in thirty six with John Morris, also had
to turn back forty seven again with Canadian Earl Denman.
Nearly got taken out by.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
The important thing about climbing Mount Everest that I've noticed
over the years when we've done these stories, it's the
guy that say, hey, this one's not working today, We're
going back. Yeah, let's flip it. Those are the ones
that end up going back. Yeah. They fly straight, that's right,
and they don't die.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Put our heads down in power through that's how you
do a dead guy and it turns out he was
missing and then declared dead the next day.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Matt once did a dead a live guy, a live guy,
and he was like, this guy is alive, but uh,
and then he got to the end of the story,
He's like, oh my god, he was declared missing two
days ago. He was literally dying.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
He summited Ken Dahma with the Swiss in forty seven.
Fifty one, the Brits called again for another attempt to
summitt Everest, and again they didn't make it. Fifty two,
he said what he considered to be the first serious
attempt on Everest was I'm really going to do it
the Swiss Raymond Lambert. They reached twenty eight one nine,

(29:51):
a new climbing altitude record. While it didn't reach the summit,
what he said that did was open up a new
route that made the summit possible. The fire folloween year.
He and Lambert became close friends. He had hoped to
summit with him later in fifty three because Lambert said,
and I don't have a Swiss accent.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
I thought you had every accent. I don't. I believe
it sounds something along the lines of yes, you are
no longer I think it sounds like German.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
He said, you are no longer a sherpa. You are
a full member of the expedition team. And he said
that filled his heart. But it was in nineteen fifty
three when John Hunt called upon him to be part
of their expedition.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
His brother Mike already done.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
Edmund Hillary, of course part of that expedition, who nearly
died early on when he fell into a crevasse, but
the quick reaction and physical strength of Norgay saved him
by grabbing his rope and securing it to an ice
axe that he drove into the mountain side. That moment
led Hillary to say any future attempt would only be
done with Norgay by his side. Riding in his journal,
Tenzing really looked the this is what Hillary said of him.

(31:03):
He looked the part larger than most surpis very strong
and active, is flashing smile, irresistible, and incredibly patient with
our questions and requests. The first pair that was supposed
to summit for Hunt's party was Tom Bertlin and Charles Evans,
but Chuck's oxygen system failed. They had to turn back,
so Hillary and Norgay were sent. They spent the night

(31:26):
at twenty seven thy nine hundred May twenty eighth. The
morning of the twenty ninth, they climbed the final eleven
hundred feet. At eleven thirty am. They reached the summit
and spent just fifteen minutes there, Hillary taking the famous
photo of Norgay with his ice axe. Norgay offered it
to snap a photo of Hillary, he said, no, I
don't want a photo of myself. Tenzing became a simil
was your spirit?

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Yes, yeah, that's what they natives believe.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
He instantly became famous around the world, and everybody asked
who was first, Who was the first man the summit.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Sir Edmund or Norgay or Tenzing?

Speaker 3 (31:58):
And unlike local news, Tensing set I was not thinking
of first and second. I did not say to myself,
there's a golden apple up there, I will push Hillary
aside and run for it. We went on slowly, steadily,
and then we were there. Hillary stepped up first. I
stepped up after. Now the truth is told, and may

(32:21):
I be judged by it?

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Oh wow, that's very British.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
It's not about who goes first, who's on first, who's
on second, I.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Feel like if it's Pat is a team, I feel
like if it was you and I that you'd push
me off the mountain.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
He did not get knighted, and that was a big deal.
I think for a lot of people that they knighted
Sir Edmund, Hillary and Tenzing just got a George Metal.
They were like, what the heck is that dude should
be a Sir Tensing as well. He said he did
not care. He lived a healthy life, a comfortable life.
He died in eighty six at seventy two.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
I don't care about the aristocracy. I've loved a healthy life.
Look at me, all right, Matt beating on Paul Skenes.
A lot of trade roomers out there with schemes and
the Dodgers. Some say that the Dodgers could trade knack
Pot has a triple a left hander Jackson Ferris and

Speaker 2 (33:38):
You got mymto skiens SNLL when he gets healthy, nips

now you like that one beating out? Paul Skins is
Australian hosting legends.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Good mate, it's Kiff and this is Petros and Money's
Australian music.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
A cautionary tale. Joe Gilfoyle, known as Joe Beth Taylor
fifty four years old today from Perth, West Australia, a
performer since five, started her career on local television. And
you know, like most Australian host chicks looked like Margaret Court,

(34:21):
you know, like a real strong job sure, a little
too male for me. Not Joe Beth. Joe Beth is hot, Okay,
now I gotta look her up well. Started her career
on local TV in eighty four and in fifteen she
started singing. She became the lead singer of Indecent Obsession
and toured supporting Debbie Gibson. Debbie Gibson took a liking

(34:44):
to Joe Beth and brought her to New York where
she recorded and then did more TV hosting and radio
morning crewing. Like Matt Muney Smith himself Welcome to the Zoo.
She did the Australian version of dirt Dirty Jobs. She
became Josh Lewinesque and this is the cautionary tale. Most

(35:09):
well known for hosting three weekly programs at the same
time in the nineties, Australia's Funniest Home Videos, Hey Hey,
It's Saturday's Variety Show and a children's program, What's Up Talk?
Those three programs to say what they drove Joe Beth

(35:32):
Taylor crazy. It was too much for Joe Bath. She
had a nervous breakdown, took a two year hiatus and
came back like a boomerang. She got some boltons too.
She had some fake boobs put on in San Diego.
That's where she had her She had her hiatus in
San Diego. That's where a lot of people go when

(35:54):
they're tired and they're haggard. They go to San Diego,
they listen to some white guy reggae, they check out tatis.
They come back feeling better, And she did like a boomerang.
She came back to host more talent shows, an Awesi
version of dirty jobs. Like I said, married twice, once
to a guitarist, and then had a kid with her

(36:16):
second husband, Tennis star Thomas. Is it Mooster or Muster?
He won a bunch of Remember that guy Muster, I
think it is, who was an Austrian tennis star known
as before Rafa the King of Clay. Oh well now
he's no longer the king of class. Well she was
divorced quickly after. Anyway, now she's got the kid. Like

(36:39):
most women who have had a nervous breakdown, she's very
much into yoga and looks like she has not worked
in years. But a wonderful version if I want you
back there from Australian television, and just when you expect
her to go away, she's back shows Dancing with the

(37:03):
Stars Australia version her and she's the bergeron of Uh no, no,
she's dancing. Oh she's dancing. Yeah, she's dancing like Jerry
Rice or something. And I'm a celebrity, Get me out.
So Joe Beth Taylor a fine Australian host, not like
that hot Greek host down in Miami that everybody's trying

(37:23):
to get us to put on the show. She'll breathe
up all the air with a big nose. She have
a big nose. We'll be right back with mar Petros
and Money tomorrow at three o'clock from Dodger Stadium, Dodgers Yankees,
Dodger Talk with David Vasse coming up. Now. We're telling

(37:45):
me to back on tomorrow. Friday checked out this cop
