Talk this week. Tim Kates atsix. But right now it's time for

(02:40):
In nineteen seventeen, peanut butter gainedgreat popularity as a source of protein
thanks to government meat rationing, andthey pitched meatless Mondays with peanut butter to
the people in nineteen seventeen. Well, you know it makes sense. Right.
(03:02):
Times were hard, There's no doubtabout that. But you know,
now I hear peanut butter and Iget all freaked out because my daughter's got
the weird allergy. And I usedto love peanut butter, Matt. You
know, I used to shove itin my mouth all night, you know.
Yeah, yeah, I'd still doit. Morning made me look great,
(03:22):
you know, really good for myfigure. Oh, no doubt it.
Oh fabulous. It's time for quickhits, everybody, some quick hits.
I'll make it quick, y'all.Yeah. The Lakers fired Darvin Ham
today, Ham, who had twoyears remaining on his contract, went ninety
(03:47):
and seventy four during the regular seasonand nine and twelve in the postseason,
which did not include the two playingtournament wins. Rob Theolink, in a
statement, said I was listening tothe Petrol some Money show and the Collars
said that, like Darvin hay soso I want to do I could.
I went over to Honey Banks andI said, we're done. Uh no,
(04:08):
he said something else, Matt,what did he say? He said,
Lebron said, I gotta fire him. So quote. We greatly appreciate
this is all just bs Darvin Ham'sefforts on behalf of the Lakers and recognize
the many accomplishments that Guy won theN Season Tournament now achieved. Just ask
Mayor Bass over the past two seasons, including last year's remarkable run to the
(04:30):
Western Conference finals. Really no mentionof the N Season Tournament victory. You
put up a damn banner for God'ssakes. That is. I want to
thank Darvin for this dedication and positivity. While this was a difficult decision to
make, doesn't seem like it,it is the best course of action following
a full review of the season.Organization. Yeah, will remain and by
(04:51):
a difficult decision, it wasn't hardat all. Lebron came in and said
fire the Guy. Organization will remainunwavering in its commitment to liver championship caliber
basketball to Lakers fans around the world. Wow, well read and not not
with any kind of dripping sarcasm redickquote. I just I just read what
(05:11):
was on the statement. No,like like Paul Moyer who will be the
next head coach of the Lakers.Names being mentioned Mike Budenholzer also known as
Mike Snowden, Knowleser, I've neverheard him called that before. Kenny Atkinson,
also known as ca JJ Reddick,also known as sour Face Condescension,
(05:38):
sour Face Reddick. Yeah, andty Loo potentially, although the Clippers say
they're working on a contract with him. Win or lose tonight, as they
are on the brink of elimination downthree to two than MAVs and their opening
round series Game six tips off atsix thirty on AM eleven fifty. Here's
ty Lou about stopping those two offguys for Dallas, Luca and Kyrie,
(06:01):
you know, getting back and justtrying to keep Kyrie out of transition.
You know, I think our halfcourt defense against him has been pretty good,
you know, and so you knowthe way he's been playing, you
know, he's been playing lights out. So we was looking for one of
these games that happen but we didn't, you know, like I said,
Cleveland having fifteen points off the bench, five for seven from three, and
then we knew, you know,at some point Luke was gonna have a
(06:24):
you know, a Luca game,you know. So, like I said,
we're not gonna hang our heads.You know, you gotta win four
games. We go to Dallas gamesix on Friday, and we'll be ready
to go whoo. And again,the idea that the Clippers were going to
fire him and the Lakers would thenbe able to immediately hire him is just
(06:45):
another chapter from the massive Warren Peacesized novel titled Lakers Myopia. Yeah,
it's the well, let's trade AustinReeves for Devin Buffer. Yeah, you
had a chance to hire the guy. As we said earlier, Rob Pa,
you low Baldom and you told himhe had to have Kurt Rambis on
his staff. And the guy hadalready won an NBA championship and was in
(07:06):
high demand by a number of franchiseswhen you interviewed him during that coaching search.
So you can fire Rob Polinka.But the idea that you can sell
ty lu coming to the Lakers becausethe Clippers are going to let him go
was one of the dumber things thatwe've heard in the last two weeks.
Patrick Beverly made a fool out ofhimself last night. He fought with a
(07:30):
fan who yelped can kun can't kunon three and threw the ball at him
real fast to her dome. Andthen Melinda Adams, the ESPN producer,
Beverly blew off post game for notsubscribing to his podcast, and everybody attacked
him for that. Beverly has apologizedand the Bucks have apologized for that.
(07:53):
But yeah, yeah, he's goingto be suspended for about fifty games for
firing the ball, throwing a ballat a woman's head, and then throwing
it a second time at another dude'sjunk. I think it's pretty safe to
say he likely is finished. Iwould be very surprised if a team has
him signed for next year and heplays basketball again. I think my favorite
(08:13):
thing to come out of that apparentlythis Malin Adams is someone who like routinely
gets sound you know that they playon Sports Center and behind the Mike flag,
what what's your problem? Exactly whatare you doing? I think my
favorite thing was I don't know whoit was, If it was you know.
Obviously they all came to her defense, the people that know her through
ESPN. But it might have beenKendrick person who just said, shaggan a
(08:33):
subscribe to that trash ass podcast,just say you subscribe, Like, how
would he know anyway? He's notgonna check, Yeah, subscribe to our
podcast. Well, why would Isubscribe to that? No one wants to
hear from you? Of course Ido. Why am I here? Why
else would I be here talking toyou if I wasn't Jamaica your podcast.
If I wasn't Jamaican, then whywould I be wearing this hat? And
(08:54):
Matt, we got Bronni News.They invited Bronnie James to the twenty twenty
four NBA combine, and you gotall big ten players like Boo Booie who
made Northwestern relevant, Marcus Damask whocarried Illinois this year. Those guys not
invited, Bronni invited. Kind offeels like the McDonald's All American Game all
(09:20):
over again. Kind of feels likewe're getting nailed on the King on multiple
levels. Huh, it's a crime. Seventy eight guys invited, including Bronnie
James. We continue to get nailedby the King. You look at by
the King. Oh yes. TheDodgers are twenty and thirteen six game homestand
starts tonight, first to three versusthe Braves. Gavin Stone on the mound
(09:43):
stoneboner first pitch at seven ten.Let's go Stone Boner, make it hard.
The Dolphins are signing Odell Beckham justin time for the Miami Grand Prix.
Yeah. All the speed. Andhe just broke up with Kim Kardashian
two. They decided they're better atfriends. I didn't know they were together.
(10:03):
They were I thought he had justhad someone spit out his kid,
So I guess the times are different. I mean, Tyreek Hill has five
kids being spit out simultaneously in thesame room. I'd be punching them all
over the place. The NFL networkcontinues, Why do you think that kid
tried to burn down his house?Oh God? The NFL network continues to
(10:24):
make cuts. They have let goHall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin,
who's not problematic at all. Nostudios. I do believe more cuts are
coming following their purge about a monthago of people from behind the scenes.
This will be people in front ofthe camera. But yeah, Michael Irvin
should have never returned last year.It was asinine that he was allowed to
(10:46):
come back after all the crap thathe had put them through based on the
prior year Super Bowl, and yetsomehow it was just a call from above
that said put them back on theair. Yeah, he can go back
on the podcast with Beverley. Huhhuh. Yeah, subscribed my podcast nod
and you can't ask me any questions. What good call. You're having a
(11:07):
great night, Pat, keep itgoing. You're making great tonight. It's
a great night for decision making foryou. Mike Riley is a great decision
maker and a great guy. Formercoach at Oregon State, Nebraska Friend of
the Show is going to join theCFP Selection Committee college Football Playoffs, and
he will replace athletic director Pat Chun, who was appointed to the thirteen member
(11:30):
committee when he was at Washington State, but stepped down when he was hired
for the same position at Washington.So congratulations to Mike Riley, a Northwestern
staple and a great person in footballglobally. Yes, speaking of congratulations,
we got to make sure we congratulateMookie Betts again for winning National League Player
(11:50):
of the month. You weren't bowling, you weren't making podcasts. You would
you and what you get paid todo? When that's hit the ball?
Now you are the player of themonth, Mookie bets. That podcast might
have won you an Emmy, Butthose hits, Mookie, they're gonna win
(12:13):
you real awards. That's right,like the NL Player of the Month.
We'll be back with the F onereport Miami Grand Prix. There was a
sprint quality today. Go until sixo'clock. We got Rodgers Braves coming up
just after seven, Dodgers on deckat six. You want the Clipper game,
That thing's gonna fire off at sixpoint thirty on our sister station AM
eleven fifty Clippers an opportunity to jointhe Kings Wednesday the Lakers Monday, as
(12:37):
teams in LA that have been eliminatedin the first round of the postseason.
In the same week, of course, the big news Lakers fired Darvin Ham
today as they search for a newhead coach. Begins talked about that a
little bit earlier as well. InAnything You mich you can always relive via
podcast through the iHeartRadio app. Allright, man, it is time for
(12:58):
another app. One report sprint qualitygoing on on the deuce. Formula one
makes its first of three steps inthe United States this weekend as it takes
over the hard Rock Stadium complex lookspretty cheesy for the third ever Miami Grand
Prix. The mad Dutchman Max forStopping is won each of the first two
(13:24):
runnings of this race and will againbe the favorite to take the checker flag
on Sunday. The lustful dutch Printsleads the drivers championship by twenty five points,
having bounced back from his DNF atthe Australian Grand Prix with two consecutive
wins in Japan and China. Thisweekend, Matt will also feature the second
(13:46):
sprint race of the season, Thenineteen lap Affair, will go lights out
on Saturday at nine am Pacific.That's tomorrow morning. More on Miami in
a minute, but as we liketo do, let's get caught up on
some of the F one storylines.We take a job through the paddock for
news and notes, Matt, wetalked about the turnover in the driver's lineup
of the twenty twenty five season,over half of the drivers or without contracts
(14:09):
for next year. Some of thosechanges have begun to take shape, with
Lewis Alright Hamilton's decision to move toFerrari leading the way. Now In the
past couple weeks, more drivers decisionshave been announced. Last week, the
Venerable Fernando Alonso, who made hisF one debut back in one, signed
(14:31):
a two year extension with Aston Martinto continue to race through the twenty twenty
sixth season and try to add tohis thirty two Grand Prix wins and two
World championships. That's cool, right, Well, I don't know what that
means for Lancetroll. I don't knowhow he holds onto his seat and you
hang on to your seat. Andthen this week the Hulk Nico Holkenberg announced
(14:54):
that he would leave Haas at theend of this season and join Kick Sauber
in twenty twenty five. The Germansigned a multi year deal to be part
of the Audi F one product projectwhen that starts in twenty twenty six,
and that would leave Joe Gwan Yuor val Terry Botas without a ride for
next season. But the biggest moveso far Matt does not involve a driver.
(15:20):
It was confirmed on Wednesday when RedBull announced that legendary car designer Adrian
Neui will leave Red Bull after anineteen year stint at the Milton Keys squad.
Now he's a big contributor to theteam's two title streaks, first with
Sea Bass Metal and now with thelustful Dutchman Max For stopping this is a
(15:43):
devastating blow for the Bulls, Matt. It's like David Vasse leaving the Dodgers
to go to work for Ardi Moreno, oh god, the pain as for
DoD Yet, needless to say,the news hit Mad Max pretty hard.
What the fuck? What the fuck? What the can you go saying?
I'll believe him, mate, Idon't get it. What the is this
(16:06):
about? We'll talk about it,But they're saying is new He's gone.
The announcement has led to rampant speculationin the paddock on where he will land.
Early reports are that ferrari Aston,Martin, Mercedes and McLaren have all
shown interest in the sixty five yearold design guru. A sixty five year
(16:29):
old ended in this hot since AlMichaels you know nope, thirty years ago
knew he joined Red Bull and sixand was instrumental in the squad's success over
the years, helping turn the operationfrom midfield punters into Grand Prix winners and
world championships. During his stint,Red Bull has claimed six constructor titles and
(16:52):
seven drivers championships. And he designedthe cars and they're on target to do
the same this season. Maddy's widelyregarded as the greatest car designer in the
history Formula What so, how willthey react to his departure? Red Bull
and verstop him? More rumors aroundthe paddict or that with the continued controversy
(17:14):
at Red Bull involving their unlikable teamprincipal Christian Horner and now the departure of
Nui, mad Max may do aJesse Owens out of the back of the
Red Bull garage. Matt, whatdo you think of that? I would
just hire another newie. I'd reachout to NEWI scrugs. See if he
just wants to come out out andbe like, hey, dude, we're
good continuity man. What would thecar look for me? There's some people
(17:41):
smoking weed. The Sun in Londonis reporting that Tota, Wolf and Mercedes
are preparing to table a world recordone hundred and twenty eight million pounds a
year to offer Max to take LewisHamilton's spot next season. Just send you
an email. Did you receive that? I'm right, Total's gonna send an
email. The numbers aren't there.He would like, not this one hundred
(18:04):
and twenty pounds. Stick it toHorner right, Uh, stick it to
Horner and Hamilton. Wait a minute, I never gonna pay that much.
Look bloy me. Why wouldn't haveleft if you'd have paid me that for
stopping his Statistically amid the most dominantera in the history of Formula One.
Since the beginning of twenty twenty two, he's won an incredible thirty eight to
(18:26):
forty nine races. He's under contractwith Red Bull through twenty twenty eight,
but it's widely believed that the contractcould be restructured to allow him to depart
if the Dutchman wanted to depart,and if Mercedes secured Adrian Newey as their
new car designer, that could verymuch help a reunion between Verstopping and Nui
(18:49):
that would make it a reality.Finally, mad Formula one in the world
of motorsports on in the memory perhapsof the greatest driver to ever climb into
the cockpit, the great Carton Center, or Senna, as they say,
over on this side of the pond. He died in a tragic accident at
Imola thirty years ago. This weekand what has been termed is F one's
(19:11):
darkest weekend in nineteen ninety four,San Marino Grand Prix fraught with tragedy.
On Friday, Matt Brazilian driver RubensBaronceello hit the curb at one hundred and
forty miles per hour, launched hisJordan into the barrier, knocked unconscious.
Treated at a local hospital several brokenbones and a fractured nose. He was
(19:33):
lucky. Saturday, it became worse. Eighteen minutes into the qualifying session,
rookie Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger failed tonegotiate a corner, hit the opposing concrete
restraining wall head on at one hundredand ninety five. He died instantly.
Then on Sunday, on the seventhlap of the race, Senna, who
(19:56):
had contemplated not racing that day,was leading Michael Schut when his Williams did
not make the left hand turn atTamborello. Senna struck the unpredicted concrete barrier
at over ninety miles per hour,killing him instantly, and the news,
of course shocked racing fans worldwide.Three days of mourning in his home country
(20:19):
in Brazil, and in response tothe tragedy, immediate safety regulations were implemented
by Formula one to protect the healthand safety of the drivers. As a
result, in the thirty years sincehis passing, no Formula one driver has
lost his life in a racing incident. There we go, even though that
(20:42):
one French dude almost burned up afew years ago Grochan Romaine Groschan. The
Miami Grand Prix honored the three timeworld champion Senna by decorating their race control
building with a mural of him byBrazilian artist Eduardo Cabra that was unveiled on
(21:06):
Thursday, thirty years after the Mayfirst, nineteen ninety four San Marino Grand
Prix. There's a great senate tributeby the British TV show Top Gear that
you can find on YouTube that profilesthe weekend and documents the impact that Senna
had on Formula One on many ofthe drivers today. I recommend it,
(21:26):
and the socalf one report honors Sennain each report. The screaming engine you
hear over our theme song is Senna'sv ten McLaren as he tears through the
streets of Monaco, a Grand Prixhe won a record six times, so
Senna Sempre Man, but now tothis weekend in Miami. Sunday's Grand Prix
(21:51):
is the first of three races inthe United States in twenty twenty four,
to be followed by the races inAustin and Las Vegas coming in the fall.
The flat bailed for stopping will theoverwhelming favorite to come away with the
win. He's won four of thefirst five Grand Prix this season and the
two previous races in Miami. TheMiami International Autodrome is a temporary circuit set
(22:15):
in the hard Rock Stadium complex inMiami Gardens, the home of the Dolphins.
You're familiar with the area, MattIt's disgusting, very much so,
but they did do a nice jobof remodeling that stadium, which used to
be in absolute dump. The nineteenturn layout is a street circuit vibe like
Albert Park in Australia, with barrierslining the racetrack that will go with a
(22:38):
very little runoff and room for mistakes. Typically that means bad news for the
punters like Winey Voice Land Stroll ofAston Martin. Oh so ridiculous, What
the hell happened? Lance continues tomake enemies mat on the grid with his
erratic driving skills and refusal to acceptany blame for incidents like what he caused
(23:00):
in China two weeks ago. Havinga billionaire father who owns your team will
do that. Yeah, it's quitea highlight of the year for me.
Also, several teams will be unveilingnew design upgrades in hopes of closing the
gap to the dominant Red Bulls.One upgrade we would like to see is
a better understanding from VIPs who willbe walking the grid hoping to see or
(23:22):
be seen like David Vass during banningpractice as they are asked to interact with
the great Marty Brundle on his infamousgrid walk. Maybe a good old fashioned
American stage manager to help the snarkyBrint navigate the B and C level guests
who insist to be this a levelevent recognized. So if you're there,
(23:47):
help out Snarky, Marty and SkySports. The stage manager can help Marty,
and Marty can help the celebrities.Yeah, so you don't think Paolo
bancaro Is, Patrick Mahomes again,Marty with the Williams sisters. Where's that
approaching the petulant William's sisters who arehaving none of it? Venus Mountain,
(24:08):
Brando Sky, how are you really? Good? To see you too on
the grid again? Are you cheeringfor Lewis? What do you think of
this event here in Miami? Oh? We love having Lewis and all the
drivers in Miami, so wishing themlong? Is the first time a minnie?
Hey? Oh, what's the questionis it? No, it doesn't
(24:32):
really matter. It doesn't really matter. All right, Come on, everybody,
do your homework. Don't leave himhanging. Don't create another awkward moment.
It makes us look bad. Thatis your f one report Southern California
and good luck, enjoy the GrandPrix. It's actually at a time that
everybody can watch in the Sprint raceand all that. We will be back
(24:55):
with your dead and alive Matt Andthen they're the Dodgers Braves tonight, well,
the home of only COVID champions,had a bunch of elimination Nation,
right, A bunch of losers iswhat we are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
app have a great weekend in La. Weirdos. La is the place where
you get fired, like Darvinham did. Today, search for the new head
(25:18):
coach begins. Hopefully we can allbe condescended to by JJ Reddick. As
Matt mentioned yesterday and throughout the day, we also your Homa show, Altani
and the Dodgers. We got abig Dodgers Braves game tonight. We got
that going for us, Matt.We do as big a game as Otani
suit, and we are damn excitedabout Dodgers on deck at six. First
pitch coming up at seven. Thatmeans Tim Kate's gonna carry you to that
(25:41):
first pitch in just a moment,top of the hour. If you want
the Clipper playoffs, the big suitis back. Big suits back. Look,
it's all cyclical, you know.You get the big suit and then
you get the super skinny eurosuit andthe skinny tie and the tight shirt and
the next thing, you know,Jim Hill is just Aaron his double breasted
blazer throughout the entire you know timethat these trends have come and gone and
(26:04):
now we're back. Well that's thatthat's something's never changed. Something's never changed.
Change He's like a statue or anaction figure. You can't change the
clothes on. It's right, smoldedon me right. Anyway, we talked
Big Suit earlier, Big Games allweekend long. Tim Kates will have Dodger
Talk tonight and throughout the weekend.And make sure you podcast the shell that
(26:27):
Kate's puts up and cuts up onthe iHeart Radio app throughout the weekend to
entertain yourself. You can also streamus live on the iHeartRadio app as well.
Okay, Matt, your dead guy. Birthday of the day today,
a little bit of a heady manin the world of English and American literature.
(26:49):
One hundred and eleven years old.He would have been today. William
Inch. Hmm, William Inch agreat American Pulitzer winning playwright and novelist known
as the playwright of the Midwest.From Independence, Kansas. Matt and a
(27:11):
Sigma Knew and a j He wasthe Sigma New. That's right, kasas
Frank Lizo. Also a jayhawk.Uh rock chalk, Yeah, jay hawk.
(27:33):
I didn't know if you wanted meto do the rock schalk or the
jayhawk, but there was rock Schalkand his mom Uh owned a boarding house
when he was a kid. Sohe saw all kinds of desperate weirdos coming
and going. A whorehouse, boardinghouse, ah, much more prevalent in
the forties, Yes, although therewere also whorehouses there as well. Uh.
(27:53):
He did lots of jobs before settlingas a writer in the forties.
He was a highway labor, ateacher, a newsreader in Wichita, got
his masters in Colombia, Missouri.I was a drama critic at the Saint
Louis Starr and his friend, famousplaywright Tennessee Williams, encouraged him to write
(28:15):
plays. So he did, andhe wrote the play Come Back, Little
Sheba. All of his plays areset in the Midwest, people with stagnant
lives and unfulfilled dreams and sexual tensionmap sexual longing. Wow, we love
sexual longing atension, which this showis built on. You can't take it,
(28:37):
so you just grab your cross likeyou have to peete. No,
No, this isn't no, itwasn't that way in the forties and fifties,
he said, you believe you wanted, he said, leaving Saint Louis
when Sheba made Broadway. If itmakes it on Broadway, I don't know.
When I'll be back, and henever went back to Saint Louis.
(29:03):
He wrote Picnic, Matt Oh,there you go. Yes, Picnic,
a huge movie Picnic and a hugeplay. Well think about at the boarding
House, the Longing Midwest. Iguess that's right. That won the nineteen
fifty three Pulitzer and became a hugemovie that won two Academy Awards with Bill
Holden and Kim Novak. Kim Novak'sface looked so frozen in botox long before
(29:30):
that existed, that it was actuallyfrozen like Ted Williams head. Yes,
she would sleep in a massive freezerat night. Bus Stop was a big
hit, and that became a MarilynMonroe movie in nineteen fifty six. All
his plays, a lot of them, had movies attached, with everybody from
James Dean to Warren Beatty in hima couple of novels as well. He
(29:53):
was very wealthy and he had ataste for fine art. In the seventies,
his play stopped getting attention and hebecame extremely depressed. He was also
a struggling alcoholic, and he wasteaching at UC Irvine. And who wouldn't
be depressed doing that? It's goeaters, and in the in Hollywood at
his home or that he shared withhis sister, he gassed himself with carbon
(30:15):
monoxide and his garish well he calledit in nineteen seventy three at the age
of sixty. Okay, he calledit by turning the key to his car,
So that's unfortunate. William in Picnicis a wonderful movie. If you
ever want to watch out, somebodyreally geek it out there like Bill HOLEYA
(30:36):
well, yeah, you get amuscly get high that he comes through that
ard house three three or four buttonsdown there telling stories about what it's like
in Kansas City and other places beyondthe small town of Kansas. Damn right,
you're a live guy. First,A big happy seventy eighth to our
dear friend Norm Chow, one offootball It's all time great offensive minds and
play callers. So happy birthday tocoach Chow. He shares a birthday Christopher
(31:03):
Charles Geppert Christopher Cross. Anytime weget a chance to play Arthur's theme you
for Donna. I was hoping thatChristopher Cross would cross your mind today,
man, when I saw it onthe list there one in San Anton dad,
an army physician, said he wasa bit of an army brat,
was an athlete, a Texas man. You know, Matt, you don't
think about that when you think aboutthose boats cutting through the water. But
(31:25):
no, you really don't. Butyou know, San Anton does have that
glorious riverwalk and that water. Galveston, I mean, we've been talking about
it all week Galveston as well.He played football, ran track in high
school. But he and his palsAndy and Bobby started a band Flash turned
into Christopher Cross, and they tookoff for Austin. Thought they could make
(31:48):
it. Tommy Taylor joined him ondrums and they played around town at one
of the hundreds of live venues regularlywhile riding. Recorded their demo at Pecan
or Pacan Street studio shop That warnersloved it, and they were like,
Hey, this demo something, butcut these loutes, cut these dudes loose
uh, ditch this crew of lamedudes. Chris, we only want you.
(32:13):
So Cross signed as a solo artistjoin that Warner brother had to you
gotta take the deal, they understood. Yet her reputation is a really good
guitarist that had preceded him from thecity of Austin. So as soon as
he was signed by Warner Brothers,Dan Fagan was like, Hey, I
want that dude on all our SteelyDan records. You know, he would
collect those studio musicians. La Crosswas like, f you man, I'm
(32:37):
gonna be a big star. I'mnot gonna be Steely Dan exactly. So
he recorded is Uh in seventy nineand it was a monster. He made
the right, he chows wisely,right like the wind. It does help
to have Michael McDonald in the stableby the way that they can lend you
as a vocalist on your first single. He didn't need him, but it
(33:00):
helped. It helped peak. Dubesat the time went to number two in
the Hot one hundred. Saline waseven bigger Number one. Cross his songs.
The album nominated for six Grammys,became the first artist in Grammy history
to win the Big Four Records SongAlbum of the Year and the Best New
Artist. It did not happen againuntil Billie Eilish did it in twenty twenty
thirty nine years later. Those arethe only two times that it has happened.
(33:22):
In eighty one, he would writethis with Bert Bacarat and Peter Allen,
and they would win the Oscar forBest Original Song. The theme from
Arthur had beat out the Thong song. Just it was. You know,
Cisco was so disappointed when Christopher Crosswalked up there in his Houston oilers Jersey,
(33:43):
you get a lifetime to write yourfirst album, in eight months to
write the follow up, and thatwas that. His follow up had a
couple of mid charters. All right, think of Laura. The first album
sold five million copies, the followup five hundred k. The next two
stiffs kept popping them out, thoughit didn't care. Three more releases in
the nineties, No Hits two,did The Greatest Hits thing O seven,
a Christmas record New Music. Intwenty ten did a live double CD from
(34:07):
Paris. Toured with a band calledFredonia. They got two albums, married
twice, divorced twice. This isterrible. He got affed up during COVID.
He got COVID and it triggered GillianBarr syndrome, so the nerves in
his legs stopped functioning and he couldn'twalk for eight months. His speech was
slurred affected, and that took abouttwelve months to recover, but thankfully it
(34:30):
did. He's back out on tourand it's been on the road since.
He's playing the Hollywood Bowl with Totoon September first. Oh, come on
and how about this? And Ichecked out the tour and I was like,
how much is this guy really playing? I saw the Christopher Cross Toto
tour May twenty ninth, l RayMichael McDonald is playing. How about that?
(34:52):
Oh do you think they'll get together? And I don't know. I'm
just thinking, how about we gettogether? Let's go hit up the l
Ray on the twenty ninth and checkOutchael McDonald's show. Oh or not?
I mean I would go. Iwant to show my boobs for the dupes.
I mean I always like to mentionthat every Christopher Cross album has a
(35:16):
flamingo on it. Yes, Andthat's why they were a staff S Matt,
not because it's a musics. Itjust all thought it was the first
album and everybody already had that thenight we got the Stone Bone. It's
a stone boner. And that's allbrought to you by shakys dot Com.

Yes, the one and only TimKates a lot of heavy lifting with Dodger
Talk this week. Tim Kates atsix. But right now it's time for
the final our fun fast in effect. Yeah, we're three fas fun facts.
(02:40):
In nineteen seventeen, peanut butter gainedgreat popularity as a source of protein
thanks to government meat rationing, andthey pitched meatless Mondays with peanut butter to
the people in nineteen seventeen. Well, you know it makes sense. Right.
(03:02):
Times were hard, There's no doubtabout that. But you know,
now I hear peanut butter and Iget all freaked out because my daughter's got
the weird allergy. And I usedto love peanut butter, Matt. You
know, I used to shove itin my mouth all night, you know.
Yeah, yeah, I'd still doit. Morning made me look great,
(03:22):
you know, really good for myfigure. Oh, no doubt it.
Oh fabulous. It's time for quickhits, everybody, some quick hits.
I'll make it quick, y'all.Yeah. The Lakers fired Darvin Ham
today, Ham, who had twoyears remaining on his contract, went ninety
(03:47):
and seventy four during the regular seasonand nine and twelve in the postseason,
which did not include the two playingtournament wins. Rob Theolink, in a
statement, said I was listening tothe Petrol some Money show and the Collars
said that, like Darvin hay soso I want to do I could.
I went over to Honey Banks andI said, we're done. Uh no,
(04:08):
he said something else, Matt,what did he say? He said,
Lebron said, I gotta fire him. So quote. We greatly appreciate
this is all just bs Darvin Ham'sefforts on behalf of the Lakers and recognize
the many accomplishments that Guy won theN Season Tournament now achieved. Just ask
Mayor Bass over the past two seasons, including last year's remarkable run to the
(04:30):
Western Conference finals. Really no mentionof the N Season Tournament victory. You
put up a damn banner for God'ssakes. That is. I want to
thank Darvin for this dedication and positivity. While this was a difficult decision to
make, doesn't seem like it,it is the best course of action following
a full review of the season.Organization. Yeah, will remain and by
(04:51):
a difficult decision, it wasn't hardat all. Lebron came in and said
fire the Guy. Organization will remainunwavering in its commitment to liver championship caliber
basketball to Lakers fans around the world. Wow, well read and not not
with any kind of dripping sarcasm redickquote. I just I just read what
(05:11):
was on the statement. No,like like Paul Moyer who will be the
next head coach of the Lakers.Names being mentioned Mike Budenholzer also known as
Mike Snowden, Knowleser, I've neverheard him called that before. Kenny Atkinson,
also known as ca JJ Reddick,also known as sour Face Condescension,
(05:38):
sour Face Reddick. Yeah, andty Loo potentially, although the Clippers say
they're working on a contract with him. Win or lose tonight, as they
are on the brink of elimination downthree to two than MAVs and their opening
round series Game six tips off atsix thirty on AM eleven fifty. Here's
ty Lou about stopping those two offguys for Dallas, Luca and Kyrie,
(06:01):
you know, getting back and justtrying to keep Kyrie out of transition.
You know, I think our halfcourt defense against him has been pretty good,
you know, and so you knowthe way he's been playing, you
know, he's been playing lights out. So we was looking for one of
these games that happen but we didn't, you know, like I said,
Cleveland having fifteen points off the bench, five for seven from three, and
then we knew, you know,at some point Luke was gonna have a
(06:24):
you know, a Luca game,you know. So, like I said,
we're not gonna hang our heads.You know, you gotta win four
games. We go to Dallas gamesix on Friday, and we'll be ready
to go whoo. And again,the idea that the Clippers were going to
fire him and the Lakers would thenbe able to immediately hire him is just
(06:45):
another chapter from the massive Warren Peacesized novel titled Lakers Myopia. Yeah,
it's the well, let's trade AustinReeves for Devin Buffer. Yeah, you
had a chance to hire the guy. As we said earlier, Rob Pa,
you low Baldom and you told himhe had to have Kurt Rambis on
his staff. And the guy hadalready won an NBA championship and was in
(07:06):
high demand by a number of franchiseswhen you interviewed him during that coaching search.
So you can fire Rob Polinka.But the idea that you can sell
ty lu coming to the Lakers becausethe Clippers are going to let him go
was one of the dumber things thatwe've heard in the last two weeks.
Patrick Beverly made a fool out ofhimself last night. He fought with a
(07:30):
fan who yelped can kun can't kunon three and threw the ball at him
real fast to her dome. Andthen Melinda Adams, the ESPN producer,
Beverly blew off post game for notsubscribing to his podcast, and everybody attacked
him for that. Beverly has apologizedand the Bucks have apologized for that.
(07:53):
But yeah, yeah, he's goingto be suspended for about fifty games for
firing the ball, throwing a ballat a woman's head, and then throwing
it a second time at another dude'sjunk. I think it's pretty safe to
say he likely is finished. Iwould be very surprised if a team has
him signed for next year and heplays basketball again. I think my favorite
(08:13):
thing to come out of that apparentlythis Malin Adams is someone who like routinely
gets sound you know that they playon Sports Center and behind the Mike flag,
what what's your problem? Exactly whatare you doing? I think my
favorite thing was I don't know whoit was, If it was you know.
Obviously they all came to her defense, the people that know her through
ESPN. But it might have beenKendrick person who just said, shaggan a
(08:33):
subscribe to that trash ass podcast,just say you subscribe, Like, how
would he know anyway? He's notgonna check, Yeah, subscribe to our
podcast. Well, why would Isubscribe to that? No one wants to
hear from you? Of course Ido. Why am I here? Why
else would I be here talking toyou if I wasn't Jamaica your podcast.
If I wasn't Jamaican, then whywould I be wearing this hat? And
(08:54):
Matt, we got Bronni News.They invited Bronnie James to the twenty twenty
four NBA combine, and you gotall big ten players like Boo Booie who
made Northwestern relevant, Marcus Damask whocarried Illinois this year. Those guys not
invited, Bronni invited. Kind offeels like the McDonald's All American Game all
(09:20):
over again. Kind of feels likewe're getting nailed on the King on multiple
levels. Huh, it's a crime. Seventy eight guys invited, including Bronnie
James. We continue to get nailedby the King. You look at by
the King. Oh yes. TheDodgers are twenty and thirteen six game homestand
starts tonight, first to three versusthe Braves. Gavin Stone on the mound
(09:43):
stoneboner first pitch at seven ten.Let's go Stone Boner, make it hard.
The Dolphins are signing Odell Beckham justin time for the Miami Grand Prix.
Yeah. All the speed. Andhe just broke up with Kim Kardashian
two. They decided they're better atfriends. I didn't know they were together.
(10:03):
They were I thought he had justhad someone spit out his kid,
So I guess the times are different. I mean, Tyreek Hill has five
kids being spit out simultaneously in thesame room. I'd be punching them all
over the place. The NFL networkcontinues, Why do you think that kid
tried to burn down his house?Oh God? The NFL network continues to
(10:24):
make cuts. They have let goHall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin,
who's not problematic at all. Nostudios. I do believe more cuts are
coming following their purge about a monthago of people from behind the scenes.
This will be people in front ofthe camera. But yeah, Michael Irvin
should have never returned last year.It was asinine that he was allowed to
(10:46):
come back after all the crap thathe had put them through based on the
prior year Super Bowl, and yetsomehow it was just a call from above
that said put them back on theair. Yeah, he can go back
on the podcast with Beverley. Huhhuh. Yeah, subscribed my podcast nod
and you can't ask me any questions. What good call. You're having a
(11:07):
great night, Pat, keep itgoing. You're making great tonight. It's
a great night for decision making foryou. Mike Riley is a great decision
maker and a great guy. Formercoach at Oregon State, Nebraska Friend of
the Show is going to join theCFP Selection Committee college Football Playoffs, and
he will replace athletic director Pat Chun, who was appointed to the thirteen member
(11:30):
committee when he was at Washington State, but stepped down when he was hired
for the same position at Washington.So congratulations to Mike Riley, a Northwestern
staple and a great person in footballglobally. Yes, speaking of congratulations,
we got to make sure we congratulateMookie Betts again for winning National League Player
(11:50):
of the month. You weren't bowling, you weren't making podcasts. You would
you and what you get paid todo? When that's hit the ball?
Now you are the player of themonth, Mookie bets. That podcast might
have won you an Emmy, Butthose hits, Mookie, they're gonna win
(12:13):
you real awards. That's right,like the NL Player of the Month.
We'll be back with the F onereport Miami Grand Prix. There was a
sprint quality today. Go until sixo'clock. We got Rodgers Braves coming up
just after seven, Dodgers on deckat six. You want the Clipper game,
That thing's gonna fire off at sixpoint thirty on our sister station AM
eleven fifty Clippers an opportunity to jointhe Kings Wednesday the Lakers Monday, as
(12:37):
teams in LA that have been eliminatedin the first round of the postseason.
In the same week, of course, the big news Lakers fired Darvin Ham
today as they search for a newhead coach. Begins talked about that a
little bit earlier as well. InAnything You mich you can always relive via
podcast through the iHeartRadio app. Allright, man, it is time for
(12:58):
another app. One report sprint qualitygoing on on the deuce. Formula one
makes its first of three steps inthe United States this weekend as it takes
over the hard Rock Stadium complex lookspretty cheesy for the third ever Miami Grand
Prix. The mad Dutchman Max forStopping is won each of the first two
(13:24):
runnings of this race and will againbe the favorite to take the checker flag
on Sunday. The lustful dutch Printsleads the drivers championship by twenty five points,
having bounced back from his DNF atthe Australian Grand Prix with two consecutive
wins in Japan and China. Thisweekend, Matt will also feature the second
(13:46):
sprint race of the season, Thenineteen lap Affair, will go lights out
on Saturday at nine am Pacific.That's tomorrow morning. More on Miami in
a minute, but as we liketo do, let's get caught up on
some of the F one storylines.We take a job through the paddock for
news and notes, Matt, wetalked about the turnover in the driver's lineup
of the twenty twenty five season,over half of the drivers or without contracts
(14:09):
for next year. Some of thosechanges have begun to take shape, with
Lewis Alright Hamilton's decision to move toFerrari leading the way. Now In the
past couple weeks, more drivers decisionshave been announced. Last week, the
Venerable Fernando Alonso, who made hisF one debut back in one, signed
(14:31):
a two year extension with Aston Martinto continue to race through the twenty twenty
sixth season and try to add tohis thirty two Grand Prix wins and two
World championships. That's cool, right, Well, I don't know what that
means for Lancetroll. I don't knowhow he holds onto his seat and you
hang on to your seat. Andthen this week the Hulk Nico Holkenberg announced
(14:54):
that he would leave Haas at theend of this season and join Kick Sauber
in twenty twenty five. The Germansigned a multi year deal to be part
of the Audi F one product projectwhen that starts in twenty twenty six,
and that would leave Joe Gwan Yuor val Terry Botas without a ride for
next season. But the biggest moveso far Matt does not involve a driver.
(15:20):
It was confirmed on Wednesday when RedBull announced that legendary car designer Adrian
Neui will leave Red Bull after anineteen year stint at the Milton Keys squad.
Now he's a big contributor to theteam's two title streaks, first with
Sea Bass Metal and now with thelustful Dutchman Max For stopping this is a
(15:43):
devastating blow for the Bulls, Matt. It's like David Vasse leaving the Dodgers
to go to work for Ardi Moreno, oh god, the pain as for
DoD Yet, needless to say,the news hit Mad Max pretty hard.
What the fuck? What the fuck? What the can you go saying?
I'll believe him, mate, Idon't get it. What the is this
(16:06):
about? We'll talk about it,But they're saying is new He's gone.
The announcement has led to rampant speculationin the paddock on where he will land.
Early reports are that ferrari Aston,Martin, Mercedes and McLaren have all
shown interest in the sixty five yearold design guru. A sixty five year
(16:29):
old ended in this hot since AlMichaels you know nope, thirty years ago
knew he joined Red Bull and sixand was instrumental in the squad's success over
the years, helping turn the operationfrom midfield punters into Grand Prix winners and
world championships. During his stint,Red Bull has claimed six constructor titles and
(16:52):
seven drivers championships. And he designedthe cars and they're on target to do
the same this season. Maddy's widelyregarded as the greatest car designer in the
history Formula What so, how willthey react to his departure? Red Bull
and verstop him? More rumors aroundthe paddict or that with the continued controversy
(17:14):
at Red Bull involving their unlikable teamprincipal Christian Horner and now the departure of
Nui, mad Max may do aJesse Owens out of the back of the
Red Bull garage. Matt, whatdo you think of that? I would
just hire another newie. I'd reachout to NEWI scrugs. See if he
just wants to come out out andbe like, hey, dude, we're
good continuity man. What would thecar look for me? There's some people
(17:41):
smoking weed. The Sun in Londonis reporting that Tota, Wolf and Mercedes
are preparing to table a world recordone hundred and twenty eight million pounds a
year to offer Max to take LewisHamilton's spot next season. Just send you
an email. Did you receive that? I'm right, Total's gonna send an
email. The numbers aren't there.He would like, not this one hundred
(18:04):
and twenty pounds. Stick it toHorner right, Uh, stick it to
Horner and Hamilton. Wait a minute, I never gonna pay that much.
Look bloy me. Why wouldn't haveleft if you'd have paid me that for
stopping his Statistically amid the most dominantera in the history of Formula One.
Since the beginning of twenty twenty two, he's won an incredible thirty eight to
(18:26):
forty nine races. He's under contractwith Red Bull through twenty twenty eight,
but it's widely believed that the contractcould be restructured to allow him to depart
if the Dutchman wanted to depart,and if Mercedes secured Adrian Newey as their
new car designer, that could verymuch help a reunion between Verstopping and Nui
(18:49):
that would make it a reality.Finally, mad Formula one in the world
of motorsports on in the memory perhapsof the greatest driver to ever climb into
the cockpit, the great Carton Center, or Senna, as they say,
over on this side of the pond. He died in a tragic accident at
Imola thirty years ago. This weekand what has been termed is F one's
(19:11):
darkest weekend in nineteen ninety four,San Marino Grand Prix fraught with tragedy.
On Friday, Matt Brazilian driver RubensBaronceello hit the curb at one hundred and
forty miles per hour, launched hisJordan into the barrier, knocked unconscious.
Treated at a local hospital several brokenbones and a fractured nose. He was
(19:33):
lucky. Saturday, it became worse. Eighteen minutes into the qualifying session,
rookie Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger failed tonegotiate a corner, hit the opposing concrete
restraining wall head on at one hundredand ninety five. He died instantly.
Then on Sunday, on the seventhlap of the race, Senna, who
(19:56):
had contemplated not racing that day,was leading Michael Schut when his Williams did
not make the left hand turn atTamborello. Senna struck the unpredicted concrete barrier
at over ninety miles per hour,killing him instantly, and the news,
of course shocked racing fans worldwide.Three days of mourning in his home country
(20:19):
in Brazil, and in response tothe tragedy, immediate safety regulations were implemented
by Formula one to protect the healthand safety of the drivers. As a
result, in the thirty years sincehis passing, no Formula one driver has
lost his life in a racing incident. There we go, even though that
(20:42):
one French dude almost burned up afew years ago Grochan Romaine Groschan. The
Miami Grand Prix honored the three timeworld champion Senna by decorating their race control
building with a mural of him byBrazilian artist Eduardo Cabra that was unveiled on
(21:06):
Thursday, thirty years after the Mayfirst, nineteen ninety four San Marino Grand
Prix. There's a great senate tributeby the British TV show Top Gear that
you can find on YouTube that profilesthe weekend and documents the impact that Senna
had on Formula One on many ofthe drivers today. I recommend it,
(21:26):
and the socalf one report honors Sennain each report. The screaming engine you
hear over our theme song is Senna'sv ten McLaren as he tears through the
streets of Monaco, a Grand Prixhe won a record six times, so
Senna Sempre Man, but now tothis weekend in Miami. Sunday's Grand Prix
(21:51):
is the first of three races inthe United States in twenty twenty four,
to be followed by the races inAustin and Las Vegas coming in the fall.
The flat bailed for stopping will theoverwhelming favorite to come away with the
win. He's won four of thefirst five Grand Prix this season and the
two previous races in Miami. TheMiami International Autodrome is a temporary circuit set
(22:15):
in the hard Rock Stadium complex inMiami Gardens, the home of the Dolphins.
You're familiar with the area, MattIt's disgusting, very much so,
but they did do a nice jobof remodeling that stadium, which used to
be in absolute dump. The nineteenturn layout is a street circuit vibe like
Albert Park in Australia, with barrierslining the racetrack that will go with a
(22:38):
very little runoff and room for mistakes. Typically that means bad news for the
punters like Winey Voice Land Stroll ofAston Martin. Oh so ridiculous, What
the hell happened? Lance continues tomake enemies mat on the grid with his
erratic driving skills and refusal to acceptany blame for incidents like what he caused
(23:00):
in China two weeks ago. Havinga billionaire father who owns your team will
do that. Yeah, it's quitea highlight of the year for me.
Also, several teams will be unveilingnew design upgrades in hopes of closing the
gap to the dominant Red Bulls.One upgrade we would like to see is
a better understanding from VIPs who willbe walking the grid hoping to see or
(23:22):
be seen like David Vass during banningpractice as they are asked to interact with
the great Marty Brundle on his infamousgrid walk. Maybe a good old fashioned
American stage manager to help the snarkyBrint navigate the B and C level guests
who insist to be this a levelevent recognized. So if you're there,
(23:47):
help out Snarky, Marty and SkySports. The stage manager can help Marty,
and Marty can help the celebrities.Yeah, so you don't think Paolo
bancaro Is, Patrick Mahomes again,Marty with the Williams sisters. Where's that
approaching the petulant William's sisters who arehaving none of it? Venus Mountain,
(24:08):
Brando Sky, how are you really? Good? To see you too on
the grid again? Are you cheeringfor Lewis? What do you think of
this event here in Miami? Oh? We love having Lewis and all the
drivers in Miami, so wishing themlong? Is the first time a minnie?
Hey? Oh, what's the questionis it? No, it doesn't
(24:32):
really matter. It doesn't really matter. All right, Come on, everybody,
do your homework. Don't leave himhanging. Don't create another awkward moment.
It makes us look bad. Thatis your f one report Southern California
and good luck, enjoy the GrandPrix. It's actually at a time that
everybody can watch in the Sprint raceand all that. We will be back
(24:55):
with your dead and alive Matt Andthen they're the Dodgers Braves tonight, well,
the home of only COVID champions,had a bunch of elimination Nation,
right, A bunch of losers iswhat we are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
app have a great weekend in La. Weirdos. La is the place where
you get fired, like Darvinham did. Today, search for the new head
(25:18):
coach begins. Hopefully we can allbe condescended to by JJ Reddick. As
Matt mentioned yesterday and throughout the day, we also your Homa show, Altani
and the Dodgers. We got abig Dodgers Braves game tonight. We got
that going for us, Matt.We do as big a game as Otani
suit, and we are damn excitedabout Dodgers on deck at six. First
pitch coming up at seven. Thatmeans Tim Kate's gonna carry you to that
(25:41):
first pitch in just a moment,top of the hour. If you want
the Clipper playoffs, the big suitis back. Big suits back. Look,
it's all cyclical, you know.You get the big suit and then
you get the super skinny eurosuit andthe skinny tie and the tight shirt and
the next thing, you know,Jim Hill is just Aaron his double breasted
blazer throughout the entire you know timethat these trends have come and gone and
(26:04):
now we're back. Well that's thatthat's something's never changed. Something's never changed.
Change He's like a statue or anaction figure. You can't change the
clothes on. It's right, smoldedon me right. Anyway, we talked
Big Suit earlier, Big Games allweekend long. Tim Kates will have Dodger
Talk tonight and throughout the weekend.And make sure you podcast the shell that
(26:27):
Kate's puts up and cuts up onthe iHeart Radio app throughout the weekend to
entertain yourself. You can also streamus live on the iHeartRadio app as well.
Okay, Matt, your dead guy. Birthday of the day today,
a little bit of a heady manin the world of English and American literature.
(26:49):
One hundred and eleven years old.He would have been today. William
Inch. Hmm, William Inch agreat American Pulitzer winning playwright and novelist known
as the playwright of the Midwest.From Independence, Kansas. Matt and a
(27:11):
Sigma Knew and a j He wasthe Sigma New. That's right, kasas
Frank Lizo. Also a jayhawk.Uh rock chalk, Yeah, jay hawk.
(27:33):
I didn't know if you wanted meto do the rock schalk or the
jayhawk, but there was rock Schalkand his mom Uh owned a boarding house
when he was a kid. Sohe saw all kinds of desperate weirdos coming
and going. A whorehouse, boardinghouse, ah, much more prevalent in
the forties, Yes, although therewere also whorehouses there as well. Uh.
(27:53):
He did lots of jobs before settlingas a writer in the forties.
He was a highway labor, ateacher, a newsreader in Wichita, got
his masters in Colombia, Missouri.I was a drama critic at the Saint
Louis Starr and his friend, famousplaywright Tennessee Williams, encouraged him to write
(28:15):
plays. So he did, andhe wrote the play Come Back, Little
Sheba. All of his plays areset in the Midwest, people with stagnant
lives and unfulfilled dreams and sexual tensionmap sexual longing. Wow, we love
sexual longing atension, which this showis built on. You can't take it,
(28:37):
so you just grab your cross likeyou have to peete. No,
No, this isn't no, itwasn't that way in the forties and fifties,
he said, you believe you wanted, he said, leaving Saint Louis
when Sheba made Broadway. If itmakes it on Broadway, I don't know.
When I'll be back, and henever went back to Saint Louis.
(29:03):
He wrote Picnic, Matt Oh,there you go. Yes, Picnic,
a huge movie Picnic and a hugeplay. Well think about at the boarding
House, the Longing Midwest. Iguess that's right. That won the nineteen
fifty three Pulitzer and became a hugemovie that won two Academy Awards with Bill
Holden and Kim Novak. Kim Novak'sface looked so frozen in botox long before
(29:30):
that existed, that it was actuallyfrozen like Ted Williams head. Yes,
she would sleep in a massive freezerat night. Bus Stop was a big
hit, and that became a MarilynMonroe movie in nineteen fifty six. All
his plays, a lot of them, had movies attached, with everybody from
James Dean to Warren Beatty in hima couple of novels as well. He
(29:53):
was very wealthy and he had ataste for fine art. In the seventies,
his play stopped getting attention and hebecame extremely depressed. He was also
a struggling alcoholic, and he wasteaching at UC Irvine. And who wouldn't
be depressed doing that? It's goeaters, and in the in Hollywood at
his home or that he shared withhis sister, he gassed himself with carbon
(30:15):
monoxide and his garish well he calledit in nineteen seventy three at the age
of sixty. Okay, he calledit by turning the key to his car,
So that's unfortunate. William in Picnicis a wonderful movie. If you
ever want to watch out, somebodyreally geek it out there like Bill HOLEYA
(30:36):
well, yeah, you get amuscly get high that he comes through that
ard house three three or four buttonsdown there telling stories about what it's like
in Kansas City and other places beyondthe small town of Kansas. Damn right,
you're a live guy. First,A big happy seventy eighth to our
dear friend Norm Chow, one offootball It's all time great offensive minds and
play callers. So happy birthday tocoach Chow. He shares a birthday Christopher
(31:03):
Charles Geppert Christopher Cross. Anytime weget a chance to play Arthur's theme you
for Donna. I was hoping thatChristopher Cross would cross your mind today,
man, when I saw it onthe list there one in San Anton dad,
an army physician, said he wasa bit of an army brat,
was an athlete, a Texas man. You know, Matt, you don't
think about that when you think aboutthose boats cutting through the water. But
(31:25):
no, you really don't. Butyou know, San Anton does have that
glorious riverwalk and that water. Galveston, I mean, we've been talking about
it all week Galveston as well.He played football, ran track in high
school. But he and his palsAndy and Bobby started a band Flash turned
into Christopher Cross, and they tookoff for Austin. Thought they could make
(31:48):
it. Tommy Taylor joined him ondrums and they played around town at one
of the hundreds of live venues regularlywhile riding. Recorded their demo at Pecan
or Pacan Street studio shop That warnersloved it, and they were like,
Hey, this demo something, butcut these loutes, cut these dudes loose
uh, ditch this crew of lamedudes. Chris, we only want you.
(32:13):
So Cross signed as a solo artistjoin that Warner brother had to you
gotta take the deal, they understood. Yet her reputation is a really good
guitarist that had preceded him from thecity of Austin. So as soon as
he was signed by Warner Brothers,Dan Fagan was like, Hey, I
want that dude on all our SteelyDan records. You know, he would
collect those studio musicians. La Crosswas like, f you man, I'm
(32:37):
gonna be a big star. I'mnot gonna be Steely Dan exactly. So
he recorded is Uh in seventy nineand it was a monster. He made
the right, he chows wisely,right like the wind. It does help
to have Michael McDonald in the stableby the way that they can lend you
as a vocalist on your first single. He didn't need him, but it
(33:00):
helped. It helped peak. Dubesat the time went to number two in
the Hot one hundred. Saline waseven bigger Number one. Cross his songs.
The album nominated for six Grammys,became the first artist in Grammy history
to win the Big Four Records SongAlbum of the Year and the Best New
Artist. It did not happen againuntil Billie Eilish did it in twenty twenty
thirty nine years later. Those arethe only two times that it has happened.
(33:22):
In eighty one, he would writethis with Bert Bacarat and Peter Allen,
and they would win the Oscar forBest Original Song. The theme from
Arthur had beat out the Thong song. Just it was. You know,
Cisco was so disappointed when Christopher Crosswalked up there in his Houston oilers Jersey,
(33:43):
you get a lifetime to write yourfirst album, in eight months to
write the follow up, and thatwas that. His follow up had a
couple of mid charters. All right, think of Laura. The first album
sold five million copies, the followup five hundred k. The next two
stiffs kept popping them out, thoughit didn't care. Three more releases in
the nineties, No Hits two,did The Greatest Hits thing O seven,
a Christmas record New Music. Intwenty ten did a live double CD from
(34:07):
Paris. Toured with a band calledFredonia. They got two albums, married
twice, divorced twice. This isterrible. He got affed up during COVID.
He got COVID and it triggered GillianBarr syndrome, so the nerves in
his legs stopped functioning and he couldn'twalk for eight months. His speech was
slurred affected, and that took abouttwelve months to recover, but thankfully it
(34:30):
did. He's back out on tourand it's been on the road since.
He's playing the Hollywood Bowl with Totoon September first. Oh, come on
and how about this? And Ichecked out the tour and I was like,
how much is this guy really playing? I saw the Christopher Cross Toto
tour May twenty ninth, l RayMichael McDonald is playing. How about that?
(34:52):
Oh do you think they'll get together? And I don't know. I'm
just thinking, how about we gettogether? Let's go hit up the l
Ray on the twenty ninth and checkOutchael McDonald's show. Oh or not?
I mean I would go. Iwant to show my boobs for the dupes.
I mean I always like to mentionthat every Christopher Cross album has a
(35:16):
flamingo on it. Yes, Andthat's why they were a staff S Matt,
not because it's a musics. Itjust all thought it was the first
album and everybody already had that thenight we got the Stone Bone. It's
a stone boner. And that's allbrought to you by shakys dot Com.
