Speaker 2 (01:57):
It's time for the Funal Hour, fun Fast.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
In effect Disney, Yeah, we're three fun fact. John Lassiter
was fired from Disney in nineteen eighty three because they
were tired. Not the Starbucks Downtown Disney I hope. I
think that's where he went after he was fired by Disney,
(02:20):
to the Starbucks at Downtown Disney Complex.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Rappuccino she News News Why did Lassen get.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Get get scam?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Because he said, enough of this long hand drawing. We
need to invest in computer animation and they said, that's
stupidest thing we've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You're fired. Last idiot.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
He would found and become the creative head of Pixar.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
So he didn't go to the downtown, not go to.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
The downtown Disney. He started his own company that became
a competitor of Disney.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I bet he has leadership abilities. He had had done
great there.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
And I think they ended up doing the deal with
Pixar and acquiring it for billions and billions of dollars.
So we wait to go lassiter. Let that be a
message to that young man from the downtown Disney Starbucks
we heard from a little bit earlier. Hey, you don't
like it, maybe it's time for you to leave. Start
your own star dart Buckstar Coffee.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And here we go.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Instead of a mermaid buck Sexton coffee, it's it's a
fish head with a chick admir.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Lac barhead ac and leg good idea. Let's go Buckstar
Buck Star. We treat our baristas great buck Stars. All
of our frappuccinos have two ingredients. Oldly, that's it sugar
and more sugar. It's time for quickets. Everybody look to
the mess.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Quickets, come make it quick.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Y'all.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Hul Holgan died today at the age of seventy one.
Reports that he suffered a cardiac arrest at his house
in Clearwater, Florida. Eighties and nineties icon in professional wrestler,
he was the main event of seven of the first
eight WrestleMania cards. The face and hero of the wrestling
world did mainstream stuff, tons of appearances on TV talk shows, movies, Thunderlips, Rocky,
(04:16):
where he took on the title character played by Sylvester
Stallone as Thunderlips, which was.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Inspiring to everybody at the time. Yeah, it broke us back.
It was awesome.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Television, including the syndicated Thunder and Paradise. In the nineties,
he won the WWF World Heavyweight Championship six different times,
including a reign of one thousand, four hundred and seventy
four days. The prayers, the sweat, and the vitamins get
them all. Riding the Harley up to Venice Beach, looking
up in the sky. I was there when it went
(04:49):
down in Grenada twenty four inch pythons.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yes, how much popularity do you think the Rocky movie
had to Hogan in mainstream outside of wrestling?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Huge that was a huge If he didn't do it,
would he still be as big as he is?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I mean, I think it was just all part of
that WWF was just starting to really explode when Thunderlips
came along. I mean, I think it was just yeah, Holgan,
it was. It was the crest of the wave of greatness.
Andre the Giant, Well Bulldogs, Last Iron Chic, the Dodge,
Live Volkov. The Dodgers are now million dollar man, mister
(05:26):
wonderful Big John stud Kamala the Uganda Giant. That wasn't right, okay,
Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
You knew who our backup was the DBS today, Rob
van dam Nope, I gave you one more chance.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I didn't even get to look through the window for
Rob Van damn Kates, come on, at least give me
a look like wow.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
If it was if it was Marty Gannetti, yes, you
get a look. So I just slaughter. Oh how about
that cash me outside? That would have been great.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Dodgers are off tonight nine grame road trip starting in Boston.
Dave Roberts post game yesterday hopes to come back went
over the Twins, leads to some momentum.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
On the road.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
I think that how we got here today showing the
fight the you know, willing ourselves to you know, get
Freddy at that to you know, Freddy to take probably
his best when he has in a month in the
win a game like that. I'd like to think that
we can.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
That's some momentum building.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Well, it's certainly better than losing five of six at
home out of the All Star break, only losing four
of six at home after your bullpen blew yet another lead.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
The Angels have now lost three in a row, six
of the last ten.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Right there, they were, right right there on the cusps,
getting very sisiphus like, you know, punched back down the mountain.
The Chargers with the workout today back at the Bolt Dodger.
The Rams have day two of training camp at Loyola Merrymount.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Ben Hefner was jogging the campus of Loyola Marramount, where
he currently attends, and he ran right by Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Oh yeah, would you call it a jog, Ben?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
If you're running like a four minute mile or whatever
the hell it is you're doing, I mean, I would
say if you call it a run, it's more like
a freaking just pride swallowing seeds.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I didn't know if he was doing fartlek today or
if it was a full run, if it was intervals.
He did say he put eyes on Jimmy Garoppolo though,
good looking guy, as handsome as ever. And talk about
bad news for the Raiders. They're big free agents signing
from last offseason, one of the best defensive tackles in
the game, Christian Wilkins, released with the designation of terminated
(07:44):
vested veteran. They say with the foot injury, and I
guess the lack of how he attacked his rehab meant.
The Raiders are now voiding the thirty five point two
million dollars of guaranteed money that he had left on
his contract. He has already filed a grievance with the NFLPA,
So I'm gonna win a ton of games. ESPN is
(08:06):
nearing a deal to acquire NFL Media. According to a
report from Andrew Marschamp of The Athletic, The deal would
include ESPN landing the content for the NFL network as
well as the NFL Red Zone.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
So I believe I saw the deal.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Was Kyle Brandt talking about angry runs now he's still
there with an Spen producer. Yes, remember the goodbye for
Peter Schrager was months long.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Schrager is the one that left with the thirteen minute
goodbye from a show. He gave a one share a
thirteen minute goodbye speech. It was really like a four
week goodbye, right there was that. I mean, you had
a long goodbye from Kevin and Bean. But at least
it was a successful show out of Hooters. Day three
of media day for the Big Ten, we talked about it.
(08:53):
UCLA's Deshaun Foster, USC's Lincoln Riley awesome. Foster made live
of his speech last year. Lincoln Riley was asked about
playing Notre Dame in the future.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Blah blah blah blah. Deshan Foster also told.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Reporters that his team will start training camp in Coast
of Masa next Wednesday. While it's new grass field is
installed on campus. It's the first time the Bruins will
practice off campus since going to San Burdu in twenty sixteen,
So they are leaving campus. Even though these schools.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Occ able to really cash in on the training camp circuit.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Yeah, Irvine makes money. And the thing is is like
and we used to do this when I was at USC.
We had I think three of the four camps when
I was there at least were at Irvine. But our
facility wasn't worth a billion dollars. Like, if you're spending
a billion dollars on your facility and you got to
move all this stuff, it just doesn't seem economically unless
(09:49):
you want to build a team.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Well, you gotta get the grass going. You know, we
got a seed, and well that's that's part.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yes, that seems to be the onus here, because otherwise
there really is no reason to move your team in
college when you've spent.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Your Wasserman and you're like, what did I just wrote
you a check for twenty million dollars?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
What are we doing? There are reports that North Carolina
and Clemson are aiming to leave the ACC for the SEC.
The transition is likely to be in the twenty thirty
twenty thirty one, five hundred dollars Fine Jesus.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
The ACC exit fees dropped from ninety three to seventy
five million.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
There North Carolina football and worth seventy five million. I
guess North Carolina basketball in the SEC.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Wait till Belichick is eighty eight years old.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
You know, by that time, Jordan's going to be in
her thirties.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
And she'll be the offensive coordinator and a mother. President
Donald Trump issued an executive order today on the college
sports to protect Olympic sports.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh, that's good.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Keep colleges from cutting smaller sports. Because the stuff that
made colleges build smaller sports was Title nine. They're all
gone now. The Title nine is kind of obsolete. You
got to do something to protect them. Says we need
federal nil law to replace the thirty different state nil laws,
(11:12):
which makes sense too, in an effort to start to
streamline this stuff because there's a competitive imbalance. I don't
know if you know this. When Texas Tech has five
billion dollars to spend up oil down there, you know
a lot of cows too. Is that why Texas state
is doing well as well?
Speaker 6 (11:29):
Probably?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
And Texas A and M Probably Texas. Yeah, North Texas
also doing well. Road Runners san antone that that that
water is polluted. You tap paid that guy. You TEP
paid our guy from Nelson Malachi Nelson, Oh Fromoise. Yeah,
he's down at uteh he's in UTEP.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
He got oil money. Is this guy ever going to
take a snap this year. You sure, yes, he took
a couple snaps at Boise. Well, you know, I mean
I do. Caitlin Clark is still hurt with a right
groin injury and no timetable for her return to the court.
That's great for the end.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
The WNBA pay us what we're worthy, us, what we owe,
give us our money, you owe us money.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Technically we're looking at the ledgers for.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
That's a little bit like the barista is making a demand.
You know, hoot, how about a concern.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I've paid for your You're you're twenty years old. I
paid for you age zero through twenty, college, car, food, insurance.
You lent me fifty bucks? Dad, where's my money you
owe me? These are our concerns to me? Fifty bucks?
Sick of waiting for it?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Well, she's missed eleven regular season games. That's pretty much
costing them all of their budgets. How are the ratings
without her? She had a quad at a grind and
now it's another grind on the right. Not well, would
be the answer, Matt.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
I hope she's not on a performance enhancers and that's
why she's getting all these injuries. All these injuries, you know.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
We'll know if she comes Backory very skinny, Yes, past off.
That's Jeff Tige. He'll tell you we'll be I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
About all that. We'll be bas very specific.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
One of our favorite guys, Matt. It's sad that we've
lost hul Cogan, but really wonderful to remember the impact
and joining us to discuss that he's been on a
few times before. We love this man, the million Dollar Man,
Ted Dbasi a true legend in wrestling. Thirty times he
held a championship belt in wrestling, headline WrestleMania's and Summer Slams.
(14:28):
One of the greatest villains in pro wrestling history. In
real life, he's not a villain at all. He's a
good man who works in outreach missionary work. He's a
Hall of Famer the WWE and the Pride of Omaha, Nebraska.
Everybody's got a price, the million dollar man, our hero.
(14:51):
We're gonna talk to him and remember hul Cogan and
remember the great days of wrestling. Joining us on your
Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. It is Ted Dibiassi
on the Petrosen Buddy Show. Ted, thank you so much
for doing it today. God bless you. We appreciate you
coming on.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Hey, it's my pleasure, guys, you know, and for a
good cause. I mean, God, you know you don't have
to give me too many reasons to talk about Hope.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Ok, well, you got it started with him, you know what.
Fifty forty years ago and Madison Square Garden the first
ever match that Hogan had and in the garden kind
of share with us, you know what, maybe a lot
of people don't remember those early years and the impact
he had, you know, kind of right when he arrived
in the World Wrestling Federation.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
Well, with that first encounter that I had with Hogan
was it was Madison Square Garden and this is back
when wrestling was still regional. Vince McMahon senior was still
in charge, and if hadn't gone national, this was so
(15:58):
so was. This was part of the New York territory
and of course part of the New York territory is
Bess Square Garden and so, uh, guess McMahon senior was
still the boss. He came to me and he said, then,
do we get this guy and I that you're working
with and we got high hopes for him, and said,
I appreciate that. You just just put him over really well.
(16:18):
And I said, you got it and I did, and
uh and then he came up to me after the
after the match in and he thanked me and he
basically said, you know what, I can't can't thank you enough,
he said, he said, oh you want, well, let's fast forward.
So he goes on then to become you know, I mean,
(16:38):
the biggest name that in in pro wrestling. I mean
even now, you know, even now, I was still ventured
to say, if you think of you know, uh, you know,
I made somebody that that's had more visibility than Halkovid
in wrestling. I just don't think there is anybody. And
(17:02):
uh so we uh and I didn't see him against
I don't know how long. Uh And so the next
time I signed it was you know, now, now, I'm
I had just come back into the the w w
E as it is now or was w w F,
but it was Bence Junior's you know, it's it's his
(17:22):
story now and uh haulksher walks up to me. He said, hey, hey, buddy,
good to see again. He says, guess what it's payback
then And that was when I had that run when
you know me and uh uh you know, uh, Andre
(17:42):
the Giant you know, wrestled, We wrestled him, and we
wrestled him in savage and we wrestled. I don't know,
but I mean, you know it was it was like,
uh he you know, he's not only a nice guy,
he's a man of his word. And and you know,
and then eventually you know again like myself, uh you know,
(18:03):
uh took a long hard look at his life and
uh and like me, became a Christian and gave, gave
his heart's price and uh uh just just a good guy,
Just a good guy.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
TEDDBIASI with us.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I mean, I just think of those four names, you
know you mentioned yourself, Ted Debiassi, Andre the Giant, Whole, Cogan,
Randy Savage, and you think about the million dollar man
and a macho man and Andrea the giants are different
because he was a giant and it was just crazy
to look at him in relation to other men. But
what do you think it was that that kind of
I don't know, led to to you having that sort
(18:38):
of impact, to macho man having that sort of and
then above everybody else, like you said, what was it
about Hogan that resonated?
Speaker 6 (18:45):
Well, I mean, you know, it's kind of like you know,
I tell everybody, it's like the the uh you know, Gus.
I've seen guys get in the ring and and wrestle,
and technically speaking they had a good match, but it
was dull. The one thing that you can't teach anybody
(19:11):
is charisma. You either have it or you don't. And
if you've got it, you can you can multiply it.
You know, you can make it bigger, but if you
don't have it, you don't have it. I mean, I
mean it's kind of like one of the guys that's
a good friend of mine, that Terry Taylor was technically
a real good rasthma, but what and Terry never got
(19:35):
the big break. And the reason that Terry never got
the big break is he didn't have the charisma. He
didn't have that that fire. It's an intangible. You either
have it or you don't. And as big as Andre was,
he had it and you can't. It's something you can't
teach anybody, you know. And and who Hogan he had
(19:56):
a big.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Time remembering Hulk Hogan with the great Ted dB I
see the Million Dollar Man. Legendary time in wrestling and
a legendary time in sports entertainment.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
When you guys were doing it, Ted, like you mentioned,
you know, wrestling with all those different guys and the
charisma that you had to have to have success, and
not just wrestling and doing all the technical stuff like
you said, but looking into a camera and having a
personality and threatening a guy you know through the camera.
You know, that was a lot of fun for all
(20:30):
of us to enjoy. Did you guys know the impact
you were having when you were doing it or were
you just kind of in a little bubble doing it well?
Speaker 6 (20:40):
I mean, I don't you know, I don't know how
I could put a measuring tough on that.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I mean.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Again, it's like, you know, you either have or you don't.
And you know, if you have charisma, then can you
enhance it, Yeah, you can make it bigger. But if
you don't have it, you don't have it. And uh
and again that's like and he's a good friend of mine.
Terry Taylor was a good wrestler. I mean, you know,
(21:09):
he was good. He do everything. He even became one
of the coaches for the company. You know. But I
think the reason that Terry never got the big break was,
you know, his lack of charisma, you know. And and
that's that's that's what it was all about, you know.
And uh and you know and and Hulk. You know,
(21:30):
you know, here's a guy who gets the spot. You know,
if there was ever a guy who got the spot
in professional wrestling, it was it was all Covid and
uh but was he uh you know, it's kind of
like there's a lot of people that get that spot.
You know, Man, you just never hear the end of them,
(21:50):
and they're they're they're this, they're that, and they're everything
else and and whatever. But then that wasn't Hogan.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
You know, Hogan appreciated things that people did for And
then it's like I said when I when I came
back to New York in eighty seven, Uh, first first
day in the dressing room that he was there, he
walked up, shook my hands, said spade that time, buddy,
we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna have some fun and
(22:18):
and and the rest is history.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Yeah, no doubt Ted Dbiassi with us remembering truly one
of the most important athlete slash entertainers of the last
fifty years in America. Uh, someone that really had an
impact even beyond obviously our our borders. Just I would
love to hear Ted just kind of those you were
talking about regional and how it was regional and it
(22:43):
was road shows and it was stadiums. You know, certainly
it was televised, but it was regional TV. How often
like what was your schedule, like what what were you
and what were hul you know what was Hulk doing.
Is it six days a week and twice on Sunday?
Is it three days a week? You're wrestling? Like, what
does it look like to be a professional wrestler In
(23:04):
the late seventies and early eighties.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
You wrestled every day? Whoa, we didn't have days off.
And then some some sometimes they would even you know,
because it was a weekend, like a Saturday and a Sunday,
they would it just attended. They with the time of
the year or whatever. But you would have like a
mat and may at one o'clock in the afternoon. And
(23:30):
then I can remember when I was working in mid South,
you know, uh, you know, Cowboy Bill Watts would fly
us into Oklahoma City from like Baton Rouge, and you know,
and of course in Baton Rouge we had just you know,
we we ended up in Baton Rouge and then it
(23:51):
was last Baton Bridge to Oklahoma City and we would
have a mad day we had. We'd have a show
like at noon or one o'clock, which would be over
at you know, three, and then they would put us
in uh vans and buses or brought you know, cars
and drive us off from Oklahoma City to Tulsa, and
(24:12):
then we would do an evening show in Tulsa, and
then the next day we would get up and either
either fly back to Baton Rouge where our cars or
you know something in some cases you know drives. I
mean I have gone back to Tulsa and then and
then driven to Shreveport, Louisiana's crazy. I mean the miles.
(24:37):
I mean if the body got paid by a mile,
I'd be the multi million dollar Man.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
One of the all time greats and great memories about
a great American icon and a wrestler, Ted Dbasi, a
man of God, the million dollar Man, and a Hall
of Famer. We love you, Ted, and thank you so
much for joining us and remembering Hulk Cogan on what
has to be a tough day for all of you guys.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
It really is. And uh, you know, I just want
to I just want to thank the fans out there
that you could continue to support and uh, you know,
and yeah, you know, just pause today and and uh
and and say a prayer for for Hall COVID's family.
Uh you know, I mean he was as big as
(25:22):
celebrity as he was. He had, he had his big
a heart.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
He really did perfectly put beautifully said, uh, the great
Ted Dbasi. Thanks so much, Ted, We appreciate it, you bet,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (25:37):

This is from the pack. This is that's not the
original man across three lanes.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
You know we're just shame. Best believe, best believed. If
you look up there and you say, we were told
there was a show.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Up and say, that's not it, that's not the original,
that's not it. That's gonna change everything. No one we'll
ever see the Red Sox.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
And there was cars swerving all over and we realized,
we realized, what's in this brown paper past?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
What this is from Fenway Park. That's where the Dodgers
are going to be in Panto's gonna be in town. Yeah,
we want to. We're looking for like you know, if
we're working too. Yeah, I mean my man had a
run across three lanes traffic. We know that that's the
(27:41):
original one. We were told there was only one May. Yeah,
we were told it was. We were that point that
tells us it's not what I read. Just duplicate that
you get.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I cannot wait that promotional banner that tries to sell
beers behind the monster, that's not it.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
A big, big got the original one.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
A big thank you to Tim Kaits, our executive producer

thank you to intern Bend Save LMU Sports, and a
big thank you to Ronnie Fossio at Ronnie Fossio on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
That's not what I read, and Matt, it's neither relevant
nor material to the current conversation.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Relevant to what we're discussing.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Foo beating out Alexander Duma and don't you get sent
to Chateau d'ef, Matt. If you eat too much taffy,
you're going to Chateau d I'll send you to chattudef right.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Now beating out.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
The writer of the Three Musketeers is John Newton, which
makes it British News.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Time for PMS British News. You liked the Kingdom English News,
It's time for British News. Teerio up straight, happy three
hundred too old.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Yanni net from London Town father was a shipmaster in
the Mediterranean.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
His mother died when he was seven from consumption.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
A lot of people with like consumption like she drank
no longer longer I did not. I know she drank
or not. She may have not watching seventeen hundreds. She loved,
She loved mead.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
At eleven years old, which is the proper age, he
went to sea with his father and he did that
on his dad's ship for ten years and then he
put on with another ship, but uh, he had trouble
in the Royal Navy. Didn't get along with others. He
was flogged and humiliated in front of everybody. So he
quit the Royal Navy and started on his slave ship
(29:50):
in seventeen forty five, the Pegasusts. Now, he did not
like the guys on the Pegasus, and the guys on
the Pegasus did.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Not like him. Seems like this is a Newton problem.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Well, I don't know. I mean it is a slave ship.
The Pegasus guys didn't like him so much that they
simply sold him into slavery.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Okay in West Africa. Oh you the longest, do you?
We've got something to fix you like this? I should
lock this at all at all. I just assumed I'll
be heading back now. He moved to the island.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
He was rescued in seventeen forty eight by a sea
captain that his father, commissioned, had sent for him to
bring him back to England.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
John Newton, I presumed your damn right. It's bloody me.
I'm the only one body of a mile that you
guess gave it away my head.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
After that experience, he became a Christian and did travel
for a while on Slas but eventually became a very
heavy abolitionist and evangelical. Worked in the trade in Jamaica
for a while, but then called it a humiliating reflection
all of it.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Became an.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Anglican minister and an abolitionist and started writing hymns, and
he wrote one of your favorites, Matt, glorious Things of
the Are spoken, which is a staple and even song
the Church of England.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
It's my alarm so I wake up to every morning.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
And he wrote one of the most popular songs in
the history of the world, Amazing Grace that he wrote,
Amazing Grace, the hymn. He served as a humble priest
in only Buckinghamshire, which is where Buster only only it's from.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
In the Temps valley. Yeah, that's where.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
That's why he looks so, you know, like an honorable man,
man of you know, aristocracy, got.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Some high blood. I just look at him as being
very small, oll.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Mean buckingham Sure, yes, many statues. There's even a village
named after John Newton and Sierra Leone. I was thinking
Newton Mass. I think that's your other guy, Sir Isaac. Yeah,
the Apple and the Head Guy. He lived to see
the British Empire abolish its slave trade in eighteen oh seven,
(32:27):
that's good months before he died at the age of
eighty two. John Newton Beautiful, the writer of Amazing Grave,
sung here by Aretha Franklin.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
I wonder, like what the feedback is on a song
like that, like you said, arguably one of the most
famous songs in the history of the world. Like the
first congregation that sings it, and people like, oh, I'm
pretty catchy song your rote, Johnny, I like that one.
Keep it for next week, keep it for the week
after that too.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
The past is loving. This is way better than being
a slave trying. I'll tell you sweets. Most amazing thing
having me today saying you boys to the pegasust got
any plans. Yeah, we're gonna tell you to slavery. Bloke,
I don't want that much to be able to get
along moving forward helps too late. What's the ship?
Speaker 5 (33:20):
You go?
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Give us your wig? Like right now, just hear me
anyone that looks like me here, I have don't needed
this compass anymore. People are gonna come to pick up
the slaves, and we don't like to look at that one.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
Watch.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
We are not gonna be able to sell this one.
Where's the stock?
Speaker 3 (33:38):
There your live gat birthday of the day, since we
don't have it. He's pretty French news.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
He's pretty freddy French cheek. Yeah, happy seventy nine. I'm
moving back to France.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Renavy Yard one of the biggest international hits in the
mid sixties. Capri Se Feeney wild story for our man.
Renee born in Paris in a taxi that was shuttling
his mother to the hospital. Father ditched the family. Mom
then loses custody of her children. So when he was
(34:17):
very very young, Renee was sent to an orphanage in Paris,
raised and foster homes throughout France, from Paris to the
very region. Finally had enough of the foster orphan life
and took off became a runaway in his early teens.
While he was looking for food, young Renee and met
(34:38):
a priest father well either Anne Grand or en Grand,
who took him into the monastery, became his mentor, taught
him literature, taught him music. Clearly had talent, so he
decides to return to Paris. He meets this guy, Daniel Cordier,
the famous art dealer who adopts him. When he's sixteen,
he gets some stability. He gets a job at a
(34:58):
record store on the Champs le takes singing lessons, and
a chance meeting with an an R guy from Mercury
leads to him putting out a song from Rena when
he was just eighteen years old. This one, Caprice Safie,
released in nineteen sixty five, becomes a number one hit
throughout all of Europe, sold three and a half million copies,
(35:23):
so he becomes a superstar. The French version of Time
magazine says, we want to do a national story about
you and your mom. They find his mom. It becomes
this big international story.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
I don't know this, but the name of the French
Time magazine is butt crack smell.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
It's funny you mentioned that. I don't know the translation
of France dimoche.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
But perhaps that is that is not perhaps man so
also very worldly?
Speaker 6 (35:55):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
That gave him all of his international attention. His music
is huge in South America, and he's like, I think
I want to go see the South America. He goes
over there to do a couple shows. He stays for
two years, has to come back to record another record,
but miss is it. So he goes back to live
in Buenos Aires in Argentina.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Became more of an Argentinians, like an ex Nazi type.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Interesting you say that he starts recording in Spanish, becomes
a big freaking star in Argentina and Bolivia. And in
Bolivia he's like, I know that dude, and it's the
freaking butcher of Leone Klaus Barbie.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
He points him out at his show. They're all over
in Salama.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
They arrest him, send him to France, where he has
tried and imprisoned for life. At this dude, Rene v
R Show.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Could not have gone to the show there. Mister butcher,
I mean knows these guys. This is a butcher. He
was just a lot of people don't look into the audience, but.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
I'd like veter Renee did. He was huge in Korea
and Japan and Turkey, sold out stadiums. They coaxed him
back to France with the offer of a TV show,
so he hosted his own variety show for a while.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Huge.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Pretty much everything he put out sold a million copies
throughout all of Europe. That's a lot of records for Europe.
Got the Order of Merit in nineteen ninety and in
nineteen ninety one, with all that money he made be
he bought the monastery where father on Grond took him
in and made it his home. Seventy nine today, get
(37:35):
out of here, you months. He is gay renee von.
He really buried the leader I did right there. Well,
it didn't say it till the end, you know, when
it says personal life and knowing really it's like, okay,
married twice, three kids, no partner, nothing like that. It
just said came out in nineteen sixty seven, when it
(37:58):
was quite the to do.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
To do something like that, that Dian sounded day to
me the whole time. I figured his name is. I mean,
for any I remember growing.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
Up in the eighties and just being French major gay.
That's true, really, I mean that's you know a lot
of people don't remember when it was live.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Maybe that's what my dad told me. We were Irish.
Took a test, found out I was Jewish and French.
My whole life's been a lot one test. I'm not
Irish at all. What's this French crab?
Speaker 6 (38:30):
Dad?
Speaker 4 (38:31):
I started making cheese and wine. We'll be back tomorrow again.
FLEXI learn at one o'clock.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Being French in the eighties meance you were gay, Maddie.
I tried to cover it up for you.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
It's true. I mean it's absolutely true. I couldn't believe Pepula,
Pews and the chicks seemed gay to me. It was
a pivotal time when we were rearing you. Two cakes

Speaker 2 (01:57):
It's time for the Funal Hour, fun Fast.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
In effect Disney, Yeah, we're three fun fact. John Lassiter
was fired from Disney in nineteen eighty three because they
were tired. Not the Starbucks Downtown Disney I hope. I
think that's where he went after he was fired by Disney,
(02:20):
to the Starbucks at Downtown Disney Complex.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Rappuccino she News News Why did Lassen get.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Get get scam?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Because he said, enough of this long hand drawing. We
need to invest in computer animation and they said, that's
stupidest thing we've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You're fired. Last idiot.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
He would found and become the creative head of Pixar.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
So he didn't go to the downtown, not go to.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
The downtown Disney. He started his own company that became
a competitor of Disney.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I bet he has leadership abilities. He had had done
great there.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
And I think they ended up doing the deal with
Pixar and acquiring it for billions and billions of dollars.
So we wait to go lassiter. Let that be a
message to that young man from the downtown Disney Starbucks
we heard from a little bit earlier. Hey, you don't
like it, maybe it's time for you to leave. Start
your own star dart Buckstar Coffee.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And here we go.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Instead of a mermaid buck Sexton coffee, it's it's a
fish head with a chick admir.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Lac barhead ac and leg good idea. Let's go Buckstar
Buck Star. We treat our baristas great buck Stars. All
of our frappuccinos have two ingredients. Oldly, that's it sugar
and more sugar. It's time for quickets. Everybody look to
the mess.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Quickets, come make it quick.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Y'all.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Hul Holgan died today at the age of seventy one.
Reports that he suffered a cardiac arrest at his house
in Clearwater, Florida. Eighties and nineties icon in professional wrestler,
he was the main event of seven of the first
eight WrestleMania cards. The face and hero of the wrestling
world did mainstream stuff, tons of appearances on TV talk shows, movies, Thunderlips, Rocky,
(04:16):
where he took on the title character played by Sylvester
Stallone as Thunderlips, which was.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Inspiring to everybody at the time. Yeah, it broke us back.
It was awesome.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Television, including the syndicated Thunder and Paradise. In the nineties,
he won the WWF World Heavyweight Championship six different times,
including a reign of one thousand, four hundred and seventy
four days. The prayers, the sweat, and the vitamins get
them all. Riding the Harley up to Venice Beach, looking
up in the sky. I was there when it went
(04:49):
down in Grenada twenty four inch pythons.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yes, how much popularity do you think the Rocky movie
had to Hogan in mainstream outside of wrestling?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Huge that was a huge If he didn't do it,
would he still be as big as he is?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I mean, I think it was just all part of
that WWF was just starting to really explode when Thunderlips
came along. I mean, I think it was just yeah, Holgan,
it was. It was the crest of the wave of greatness.
Andre the Giant, Well Bulldogs, Last Iron Chic, the Dodge,
Live Volkov. The Dodgers are now million dollar man, mister
(05:26):
wonderful Big John stud Kamala the Uganda Giant. That wasn't right, okay,
Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
You knew who our backup was the DBS today, Rob
van dam Nope, I gave you one more chance.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I didn't even get to look through the window for
Rob Van damn Kates, come on, at least give me
a look like wow.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
If it was if it was Marty Gannetti, yes, you
get a look. So I just slaughter. Oh how about
that cash me outside? That would have been great.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Dodgers are off tonight nine grame road trip starting in Boston.
Dave Roberts post game yesterday hopes to come back went
over the Twins, leads to some momentum.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
On the road.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
I think that how we got here today showing the
fight the you know, willing ourselves to you know, get
Freddy at that to you know, Freddy to take probably
his best when he has in a month in the
win a game like that. I'd like to think that
we can.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
That's some momentum building.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Well, it's certainly better than losing five of six at
home out of the All Star break, only losing four
of six at home after your bullpen blew yet another lead.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
The Angels have now lost three in a row, six
of the last ten.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Right there, they were, right right there on the cusps,
getting very sisiphus like, you know, punched back down the mountain.
The Chargers with the workout today back at the Bolt Dodger.
The Rams have day two of training camp at Loyola Merrymount.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Ben Hefner was jogging the campus of Loyola Marramount, where
he currently attends, and he ran right by Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Oh yeah, would you call it a jog, Ben?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
If you're running like a four minute mile or whatever
the hell it is you're doing, I mean, I would
say if you call it a run, it's more like
a freaking just pride swallowing seeds.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I didn't know if he was doing fartlek today or
if it was a full run, if it was intervals.
He did say he put eyes on Jimmy Garoppolo though,
good looking guy, as handsome as ever. And talk about
bad news for the Raiders. They're big free agents signing
from last offseason, one of the best defensive tackles in
the game, Christian Wilkins, released with the designation of terminated
(07:44):
vested veteran. They say with the foot injury, and I
guess the lack of how he attacked his rehab meant.
The Raiders are now voiding the thirty five point two
million dollars of guaranteed money that he had left on
his contract. He has already filed a grievance with the NFLPA,
So I'm gonna win a ton of games. ESPN is
(08:06):
nearing a deal to acquire NFL Media. According to a
report from Andrew Marschamp of The Athletic, The deal would
include ESPN landing the content for the NFL network as
well as the NFL Red Zone.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
So I believe I saw the deal.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Was Kyle Brandt talking about angry runs now he's still
there with an Spen producer. Yes, remember the goodbye for
Peter Schrager was months long.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Schrager is the one that left with the thirteen minute
goodbye from a show. He gave a one share a
thirteen minute goodbye speech. It was really like a four
week goodbye, right there was that. I mean, you had
a long goodbye from Kevin and Bean. But at least
it was a successful show out of Hooters. Day three
of media day for the Big Ten, we talked about it.
(08:53):
UCLA's Deshaun Foster, USC's Lincoln Riley awesome. Foster made live
of his speech last year. Lincoln Riley was asked about
playing Notre Dame in the future.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Blah blah blah blah. Deshan Foster also told.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Reporters that his team will start training camp in Coast
of Masa next Wednesday. While it's new grass field is
installed on campus. It's the first time the Bruins will
practice off campus since going to San Burdu in twenty sixteen,
So they are leaving campus. Even though these schools.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Occ able to really cash in on the training camp circuit.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Yeah, Irvine makes money. And the thing is is like
and we used to do this when I was at USC.
We had I think three of the four camps when
I was there at least were at Irvine. But our
facility wasn't worth a billion dollars. Like, if you're spending
a billion dollars on your facility and you got to
move all this stuff, it just doesn't seem economically unless
(09:49):
you want to build a team.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Well, you gotta get the grass going. You know, we
got a seed, and well that's that's part.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yes, that seems to be the onus here, because otherwise
there really is no reason to move your team in
college when you've spent.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Your Wasserman and you're like, what did I just wrote
you a check for twenty million dollars?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
What are we doing? There are reports that North Carolina
and Clemson are aiming to leave the ACC for the SEC.
The transition is likely to be in the twenty thirty
twenty thirty one, five hundred dollars Fine Jesus.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
The ACC exit fees dropped from ninety three to seventy
five million.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
There North Carolina football and worth seventy five million. I
guess North Carolina basketball in the SEC.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Wait till Belichick is eighty eight years old.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
You know, by that time, Jordan's going to be in
her thirties.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
And she'll be the offensive coordinator and a mother. President
Donald Trump issued an executive order today on the college
sports to protect Olympic sports.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh, that's good.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Keep colleges from cutting smaller sports. Because the stuff that
made colleges build smaller sports was Title nine. They're all
gone now. The Title nine is kind of obsolete. You
got to do something to protect them. Says we need
federal nil law to replace the thirty different state nil laws,
(11:12):
which makes sense too, in an effort to start to
streamline this stuff because there's a competitive imbalance. I don't
know if you know this. When Texas Tech has five
billion dollars to spend up oil down there, you know
a lot of cows too. Is that why Texas state
is doing well as well?
Speaker 6 (11:29):
Probably?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
And Texas A and M Probably Texas. Yeah, North Texas
also doing well. Road Runners san antone that that that
water is polluted. You tap paid that guy. You TEP
paid our guy from Nelson Malachi Nelson, Oh Fromoise. Yeah,
he's down at uteh he's in UTEP.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
He got oil money. Is this guy ever going to
take a snap this year. You sure, yes, he took
a couple snaps at Boise. Well, you know, I mean
I do. Caitlin Clark is still hurt with a right
groin injury and no timetable for her return to the court.
That's great for the end.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
The WNBA pay us what we're worthy, us, what we owe,
give us our money, you owe us money.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Technically we're looking at the ledgers for.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
That's a little bit like the barista is making a demand.
You know, hoot, how about a concern.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I've paid for your You're you're twenty years old. I
paid for you age zero through twenty, college, car, food, insurance.
You lent me fifty bucks? Dad, where's my money you
owe me? These are our concerns to me? Fifty bucks?
Sick of waiting for it?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Well, she's missed eleven regular season games. That's pretty much
costing them all of their budgets. How are the ratings
without her? She had a quad at a grind and
now it's another grind on the right. Not well, would
be the answer, Matt.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
I hope she's not on a performance enhancers and that's
why she's getting all these injuries. All these injuries, you know.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
We'll know if she comes Backory very skinny, Yes, past off.
That's Jeff Tige. He'll tell you we'll be I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
About all that. We'll be bas very specific.

and joining us to discuss that he's been on a
few times before. We love this man, the million Dollar Man,
Ted Dbasi a true legend in wrestling. Thirty times he
held a championship belt in wrestling, headline WrestleMania's and Summer Slams.
(14:28):
One of the greatest villains in pro wrestling history. In
real life, he's not a villain at all. He's a
good man who works in outreach missionary work. He's a
Hall of Famer the WWE and the Pride of Omaha, Nebraska.
Everybody's got a price, the million dollar man, our hero.
(14:51):
We're gonna talk to him and remember hul Cogan and
remember the great days of wrestling. Joining us on your
Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. It is Ted Dibiassi
on the Petrosen Buddy Show. Ted, thank you so much
for doing it today. God bless you. We appreciate you
coming on.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Hey, it's my pleasure, guys, you know, and for a
good cause. I mean, God, you know you don't have
to give me too many reasons to talk about Hope.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Ok, well, you got it started with him, you know what.
Fifty forty years ago and Madison Square Garden the first
ever match that Hogan had and in the garden kind
of share with us, you know what, maybe a lot
of people don't remember those early years and the impact
he had, you know, kind of right when he arrived
in the World Wrestling Federation.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
Well, with that first encounter that I had with Hogan
was it was Madison Square Garden and this is back
when wrestling was still regional. Vince McMahon senior was still
in charge, and if hadn't gone national, this was so
(15:58):
so was. This was part of the New York territory
and of course part of the New York territory is
Bess Square Garden and so, uh, guess McMahon senior was
still the boss. He came to me and he said, then,
do we get this guy and I that you're working
with and we got high hopes for him, and said,
I appreciate that. You just just put him over really well.
(16:18):
And I said, you got it and I did, and
uh and then he came up to me after the
after the match in and he thanked me and he
basically said, you know what, I can't can't thank you enough,
he said, he said, oh you want, well, let's fast forward.
So he goes on then to become you know, I mean,
(16:38):
the biggest name that in in pro wrestling. I mean
even now, you know, even now, I was still ventured
to say, if you think of you know, uh, you know,
I made somebody that that's had more visibility than Halkovid
in wrestling. I just don't think there is anybody. And
(17:02):
uh so we uh and I didn't see him against
I don't know how long. Uh And so the next
time I signed it was you know, now, now, I'm
I had just come back into the the w w
E as it is now or was w w F,
but it was Bence Junior's you know, it's it's his
(17:22):
story now and uh haulksher walks up to me. He said, hey, hey, buddy,
good to see again. He says, guess what it's payback
then And that was when I had that run when
you know me and uh uh you know, uh, Andre
(17:42):
the Giant you know, wrestled, We wrestled him, and we
wrestled him in savage and we wrestled. I don't know,
but I mean, you know it was it was like,
uh he you know, he's not only a nice guy,
he's a man of his word. And and you know,
and then eventually you know again like myself, uh you know,
(18:03):
uh took a long hard look at his life and
uh and like me, became a Christian and gave, gave
his heart's price and uh uh just just a good guy,
Just a good guy.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
TEDDBIASI with us.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I mean, I just think of those four names, you
know you mentioned yourself, Ted Debiassi, Andre the Giant, Whole, Cogan,
Randy Savage, and you think about the million dollar man
and a macho man and Andrea the giants are different
because he was a giant and it was just crazy
to look at him in relation to other men. But
what do you think it was that that kind of
I don't know, led to to you having that sort
(18:38):
of impact, to macho man having that sort of and
then above everybody else, like you said, what was it
about Hogan that resonated?
Speaker 6 (18:45):
Well, I mean, you know, it's kind of like you know,
I tell everybody, it's like the the uh you know, Gus.
I've seen guys get in the ring and and wrestle,
and technically speaking they had a good match, but it
was dull. The one thing that you can't teach anybody
(19:11):
is charisma. You either have it or you don't. And
if you've got it, you can you can multiply it.
You know, you can make it bigger, but if you
don't have it, you don't have it. I mean, I
mean it's kind of like one of the guys that's
a good friend of mine, that Terry Taylor was technically
a real good rasthma, but what and Terry never got
(19:35):
the big break. And the reason that Terry never got
the big break is he didn't have the charisma. He
didn't have that that fire. It's an intangible. You either
have it or you don't. And as big as Andre was,
he had it and you can't. It's something you can't
teach anybody, you know. And and who Hogan he had
(19:56):
a big.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Time remembering Hulk Hogan with the great Ted dB I
see the Million Dollar Man. Legendary time in wrestling and
a legendary time in sports entertainment.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
When you guys were doing it, Ted, like you mentioned,
you know, wrestling with all those different guys and the
charisma that you had to have to have success, and
not just wrestling and doing all the technical stuff like
you said, but looking into a camera and having a
personality and threatening a guy you know through the camera.
You know, that was a lot of fun for all
(20:30):
of us to enjoy. Did you guys know the impact
you were having when you were doing it or were
you just kind of in a little bubble doing it well?
Speaker 6 (20:40):
I mean, I don't you know, I don't know how
I could put a measuring tough on that.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I mean.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Again, it's like, you know, you either have or you don't.
And you know, if you have charisma, then can you
enhance it, Yeah, you can make it bigger. But if
you don't have it, you don't have it. And uh
and again that's like and he's a good friend of mine.
Terry Taylor was a good wrestler. I mean, you know,
(21:09):
he was good. He do everything. He even became one
of the coaches for the company. You know. But I
think the reason that Terry never got the big break was,
you know, his lack of charisma, you know. And and
that's that's that's what it was all about, you know.
And uh and you know and and Hulk. You know,
(21:30):
you know, here's a guy who gets the spot. You know,
if there was ever a guy who got the spot
in professional wrestling, it was it was all Covid and
uh but was he uh you know, it's kind of
like there's a lot of people that get that spot.
You know, Man, you just never hear the end of them,
(21:50):
and they're they're they're this, they're that, and they're everything
else and and whatever. But then that wasn't Hogan.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
You know, Hogan appreciated things that people did for And
then it's like I said when I when I came
back to New York in eighty seven, Uh, first first
day in the dressing room that he was there, he
walked up, shook my hands, said spade that time, buddy,
we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna have some fun and
(22:18):
and and the rest is history.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Yeah, no doubt Ted Dbiassi with us remembering truly one
of the most important athlete slash entertainers of the last
fifty years in America. Uh, someone that really had an
impact even beyond obviously our our borders. Just I would
love to hear Ted just kind of those you were
talking about regional and how it was regional and it
(22:43):
was road shows and it was stadiums. You know, certainly
it was televised, but it was regional TV. How often
like what was your schedule, like what what were you
and what were hul you know what was Hulk doing.
Is it six days a week and twice on Sunday?
Is it three days a week? You're wrestling? Like, what
does it look like to be a professional wrestler In
(23:04):
the late seventies and early eighties.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
You wrestled every day? Whoa, we didn't have days off.
And then some some sometimes they would even you know,
because it was a weekend, like a Saturday and a Sunday,
they would it just attended. They with the time of
the year or whatever. But you would have like a
mat and may at one o'clock in the afternoon. And
(23:30):
then I can remember when I was working in mid South,
you know, uh, you know, Cowboy Bill Watts would fly
us into Oklahoma City from like Baton Rouge, and you know,
and of course in Baton Rouge we had just you know,
we we ended up in Baton Rouge and then it
(23:51):
was last Baton Bridge to Oklahoma City and we would
have a mad day we had. We'd have a show
like at noon or one o'clock, which would be over
at you know, three, and then they would put us
in uh vans and buses or brought you know, cars
and drive us off from Oklahoma City to Tulsa, and
(24:12):
then we would do an evening show in Tulsa, and
then the next day we would get up and either
either fly back to Baton Rouge where our cars or
you know something in some cases you know drives. I
mean I have gone back to Tulsa and then and
then driven to Shreveport, Louisiana's crazy. I mean the miles.
(24:37):
I mean if the body got paid by a mile,
I'd be the multi million dollar Man.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
One of the all time greats and great memories about
a great American icon and a wrestler, Ted Dbasi, a
man of God, the million dollar Man, and a Hall
of Famer. We love you, Ted, and thank you so
much for joining us and remembering Hulk Cogan on what
has to be a tough day for all of you guys.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
It really is. And uh, you know, I just want
to I just want to thank the fans out there
that you could continue to support and uh, you know,
and yeah, you know, just pause today and and uh
and and say a prayer for for Hall COVID's family.
Uh you know, I mean he was as big as
(25:22):
celebrity as he was. He had, he had his big
a heart.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
He really did perfectly put beautifully said, uh, the great
Ted Dbasi. Thanks so much, Ted, We appreciate it, you bet,

Speaker 4 (28:44):
The writer of the Three Musketeers is John Newton, which
makes it British News.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Time for PMS British News. You liked the Kingdom English News,
It's time for British News. Teerio up straight, happy three
hundred too old.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Yanni net from London Town father was a shipmaster in
the Mediterranean.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
His mother died when he was seven from consumption.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
A lot of people with like consumption like she drank
no longer longer I did not. I know she drank
or not. She may have not watching seventeen hundreds. She loved,
She loved mead.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
At eleven years old, which is the proper age, he
went to sea with his father and he did that
on his dad's ship for ten years and then he
put on with another ship, but uh, he had trouble
in the Royal Navy. Didn't get along with others. He
was flogged and humiliated in front of everybody. So he
quit the Royal Navy and started on his slave ship
(29:50):
in seventeen forty five, the Pegasusts. Now, he did not
like the guys on the Pegasus, and the guys on
the Pegasus did.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Not like him. Seems like this is a Newton problem.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Well, I don't know. I mean it is a slave ship.
The Pegasus guys didn't like him so much that they
simply sold him into slavery.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Okay in West Africa. Oh you the longest, do you?
We've got something to fix you like this? I should
lock this at all at all. I just assumed I'll
be heading back now. He moved to the island.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
He was rescued in seventeen forty eight by a sea
captain that his father, commissioned, had sent for him to
bring him back to England.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
John Newton, I presumed your damn right. It's bloody me.
I'm the only one body of a mile that you
guess gave it away my head.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
After that experience, he became a Christian and did travel
for a while on Slas but eventually became a very
heavy abolitionist and evangelical. Worked in the trade in Jamaica
for a while, but then called it a humiliating reflection
all of it.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Became an.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Anglican minister and an abolitionist and started writing hymns, and
he wrote one of your favorites, Matt, glorious Things of
the Are spoken, which is a staple and even song
the Church of England.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
It's my alarm so I wake up to every morning.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
And he wrote one of the most popular songs in
the history of the world, Amazing Grace that he wrote,
Amazing Grace, the hymn. He served as a humble priest
in only Buckinghamshire, which is where Buster only only it's from.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
In the Temps valley. Yeah, that's where.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
That's why he looks so, you know, like an honorable man,
man of you know, aristocracy, got.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Some high blood. I just look at him as being
very small, oll.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Mean buckingham Sure, yes, many statues. There's even a village
named after John Newton and Sierra Leone. I was thinking
Newton Mass. I think that's your other guy, Sir Isaac. Yeah,
the Apple and the Head Guy. He lived to see
the British Empire abolish its slave trade in eighteen oh seven,
(32:27):
that's good months before he died at the age of
eighty two. John Newton Beautiful, the writer of Amazing Grave,
sung here by Aretha Franklin.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
I wonder, like what the feedback is on a song
like that, like you said, arguably one of the most
famous songs in the history of the world. Like the
first congregation that sings it, and people like, oh, I'm
pretty catchy song your rote, Johnny, I like that one.
Keep it for next week, keep it for the week
after that too.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
The past is loving. This is way better than being
a slave trying. I'll tell you sweets. Most amazing thing
having me today saying you boys to the pegasust got
any plans. Yeah, we're gonna tell you to slavery. Bloke,
I don't want that much to be able to get
along moving forward helps too late. What's the ship?

moving back to France.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Renavy Yard one of the biggest international hits in the
mid sixties. Capri Se Feeney wild story for our man.
Renee born in Paris in a taxi that was shuttling
his mother to the hospital. Father ditched the family. Mom
then loses custody of her children. So when he was
(34:17):
very very young, Renee was sent to an orphanage in Paris,
raised and foster homes throughout France, from Paris to the
very region. Finally had enough of the foster orphan life
and took off became a runaway in his early teens.
While he was looking for food, young Renee and met
(34:38):
a priest father well either Anne Grand or en Grand,
who took him into the monastery, became his mentor, taught
him literature, taught him music. Clearly had talent, so he
decides to return to Paris. He meets this guy, Daniel Cordier,
the famous art dealer who adopts him. When he's sixteen,
he gets some stability. He gets a job at a
(34:58):
record store on the Champs le takes singing lessons, and
a chance meeting with an an R guy from Mercury
leads to him putting out a song from Rena when
he was just eighteen years old. This one, Caprice Safie,
released in nineteen sixty five, becomes a number one hit
throughout all of Europe, sold three and a half million copies,
(35:23):
so he becomes a superstar. The French version of Time
magazine says, we want to do a national story about
you and your mom. They find his mom. It becomes
this big international story.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
I don't know this, but the name of the French
Time magazine is butt crack smell.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
It's funny you mentioned that. I don't know the translation
of France dimoche.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
But perhaps that is that is not perhaps man so
also very worldly?
Speaker 6 (35:55):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
That gave him all of his international attention. His music
is huge in South America, and he's like, I think
I want to go see the South America. He goes
over there to do a couple shows. He stays for
two years, has to come back to record another record,
but miss is it. So he goes back to live
in Buenos Aires in Argentina.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Became more of an Argentinians, like an ex Nazi type.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Interesting you say that he starts recording in Spanish, becomes
a big freaking star in Argentina and Bolivia. And in
Bolivia he's like, I know that dude, and it's the
freaking butcher of Leone Klaus Barbie.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
He points him out at his show. They're all over
in Salama.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
They arrest him, send him to France, where he has
tried and imprisoned for life. At this dude, Rene v
R Show.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Could not have gone to the show there. Mister butcher,
I mean knows these guys. This is a butcher. He
was just a lot of people don't look into the audience, but.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
I'd like veter Renee did. He was huge in Korea
and Japan and Turkey, sold out stadiums. They coaxed him
back to France with the offer of a TV show,
so he hosted his own variety show for a while.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Huge.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Pretty much everything he put out sold a million copies
throughout all of Europe. That's a lot of records for Europe.
Got the Order of Merit in nineteen ninety and in
nineteen ninety one, with all that money he made be
he bought the monastery where father on Grond took him
in and made it his home. Seventy nine today, get
(37:35):
out of here, you months. He is gay renee von.
He really buried the leader I did right there. Well,
it didn't say it till the end, you know, when
it says personal life and knowing really it's like, okay,
married twice, three kids, no partner, nothing like that. It
just said came out in nineteen sixty seven, when it
(37:58):
was quite the to do.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
To do something like that, that Dian sounded day to
me the whole time. I figured his name is. I mean,
for any I remember growing.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
Up in the eighties and just being French major gay.
That's true, really, I mean that's you know a lot
of people don't remember when it was live.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Maybe that's what my dad told me. We were Irish.
Took a test, found out I was Jewish and French.
My whole life's been a lot one test. I'm not
Irish at all. What's this French crab?
Speaker 6 (38:30):
