In the world. And Matt, we have a lot coming up.
Dodger talking seven you see it La tomorrow Clippers, Tomorrow Clippers.
I heard that into it though it's real not. That's
the word on the street. Chargers Raiders to round up
largers the regular season. Last hour, Matt talked about the

(01:50):
Chargers playoff chances and did the NFL picks. And right
now it's time for the Voice of the Bolts to
the final hour Fun Time. In fact, it's the Yeah,
we're three facts, fun facts.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
This seems pretty cool and also somewhat dangerous.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Oh well, those things go hand in hand. You've ever
been to Glamis to Espanya. The Spanish start their New
year by eating twelve grapes, okay, each grape symbolizing each
strike of the clock. Las d'se uvas the twelve Grapes

(02:29):
de la Ste of Luck started in the late nineteenth
century and continues today. It is believed that it wards
off evil and boosts your chances of a prosperous and
lucky New Year. Easy right, whatever, It's twelve grapes, you
eat them in the New year, here we go. No.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
In order for the twelve grapes Las d'se uas de
la set day to work, you must begin consuming them
when the first chime hits and finish by the time
the last chime strike.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Wow. So bong, Yeah, a lot of grand Well, you know,
I mean, there's gotta be It's right, it's not. It's
not for everybody. Evil being warded off and a prosperous
year being welcomed in is not for everybody. You may choke.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
Fortune favors the bold, so uh, if you want to
give it a go next year, go ahead and grab
yourself twelve grapes, get a grandfather clock and see if
you go ahead and put them down and avoid dying.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
By launching a great got six. I still gonna have
a great year.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
You were able to ward off the evil spirits, but
you're gonna go broke. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
There's no prosperity quick hits. Everybody coms quick hits.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
I'll make it quick, y'all.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Oh yeah, Tiscarnandez is back with the Dodgers. He was
on with us last hour. Here's a little of the
press conference from earlier today. A Dodger GM Brandon Gomes
a little ti Oscar, and then Dave Roberts enjoyed the polpourri.

Speaker 6 (04:05):
That speaks volumes about who Tayo is as a player
and a person. You know, you can feel the energy
that he brings to the clubhouse, the infectious smile that
he has each and every day, and it's not a
surprise of why he's become a fan favorite, so popular
in a clubhouse and such an impactful piece of what

(04:27):
we do and you know, so important to our coaching
staff as well. You know, it's it was great to
see all year bringing Tayo in. He always put the
team first and you could see that there was a real,
you know, love of the game that he brought to
the field each and every day. I do think because

(04:50):
of the way he plays with such passion and joy.
When those big moments came up, it was something that
he really cherished and was able to put the team
first and slow the heartbeat down and do whatever was
needed in that situation. You know, Doc says this all

(05:11):
the time and it's something that I believe wholeheartedly as well.
So if you play the game the right way, the
game will honor you and the game role reward you.
And what Tao has done, you know, taking care of
and mentoring his younger teammates and having the amount of
big moments that he had this year and us being

(05:32):
able to sit here today is I think all a
testament to that. So you know, in our initial talks
last year, it's like, hey, this is this is a
one year deal. But in an ideal world, we win
a world series and this relationship gets to continue well
beyond the one year. And you know it doesn't always

(05:52):
work out this way, but I would say that we're
we're in an ideal world right now. So I'd like
to officially welcome Tayo back in Dodger Blue, and let's
go win a lot more world series together.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Let's do it. Let's do it. Thank you.

Speaker 7 (06:09):
I went to Free Agency free agency. I think I
make that clear before I went there. The Dodgers were
the priority, and I would I was going to do
everything in my power to came back for me. Money
wasn't an issue. I might I could have wait, I

(06:29):
could have weighed more offers from all the teams, but
I think the money it wasn't going to be the difference.
I couldn't get like five or six more meal from
other teams. And if you you put me in a
place that I have to decide, I would have decided
to come back, just because the way this organization is,

(06:53):
the way this organization trade a family and the players,
and that for me is more important.

Speaker 8 (06:59):
And you know, there's a part of the culture, the
talent piece that when you have the right pieces players
in place, you need to sustain it.

Speaker 9 (07:13):
And there's also another part of adding to that team.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Of people that are.

Speaker 9 (07:22):
Realize the bar of character, makeup, talent certainly, and hunger
for winning. And so you look at the acquisitions we've
made this winner, we've checked that box as well. But
a guy like Tao, we've created a situation here with
the Dodgers that the bar is extremely high. It's not

(07:47):
just about getting the most talented players. You've got to
be good on the field and you've got to play
the game a certain way because what that does is
it makes people around you better. It holds the teammates accountable.
And when you're looking at young players who out a system,

(08:09):
you know they have something to aspire towards, right, And
so for us, Tao checked every single box. And again,
like Gomer said, you know, shooting a one year flyer
on a player doesn't always you know, go out into
an extension or a multi year deal. But just what

(08:30):
he did for us and how he made everyone better,
it was a no brainer.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Very nice, oh so awesome.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
But so was our interview man.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, more of that, Yeah. The Dodgers have reportedly signed
a Korean infielder, Kim he Saw, three years old, forty
five year old middle infielder, played last season and the
last seven before that.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
I can really flash the leather in the.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Korean baseball organization, I hope, So you can really flash.
Three oh four is what he hit while playing second
base and shortstop, third base and left field. They say, here,
it looks like he can really flash the leather, flash
the leather. The Dodgers faced Heion in an exhibition game
in Korea last March, and Dave Roberts said this about

(09:13):
him at the time. Our scouts like the second basement,
just the way his body moves. There's some life to
that bat, and defensively he made a nice playout there,
I mean, and I can flash the leather. He responded
with by movement, move man to make room for Kimysauw
the Dodgers designated for excignment Diego Kart time. No's the

(09:42):
real boner reducer for some people around here.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
As you can hear, just traded that guy for like
ten different starting pitchers.

Speaker 10 (09:49):
Now.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
The twenty three year old catcher who was the Dodgers
Minor League Player of the Year two years ago, once
considering one of the top prospects in all of baseball,
he's gone out of the street. Oh just like that, Oh,
playing cello and skid row lower grand You're.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
Gonna make a movie about that. It's gonna be pretty sweet.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
You know, speaking of sweet. Last hour, they washed up
the Chargers pretty god. And by day I mean Matt
you were part of that, the voice of the Bolts. Well,
I like that. Yeah, that's great stuff. Dodgers, they're ten
and six. They're in Vegas on Sunday to take on
the Raiders. The Chargers are a four point favorite. Here's

Speaker 11 (11:16):
No you said earlier in the season about Darius could
really make an impact with offense and special teams, And
now it's that track game of Dutch shows. Just what
have you been most impressed about the way he's kind
to come off for.

Speaker 12 (11:30):
The interesting Yeah, he's he's he's he's one of those
guys that just has a has a knack uh uh
being a spark, you know, being a being a tone setter.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Uh but you need a.

Speaker 12 (11:47):
Spark boom and he's done it both as uh uh
on special teams and as a receiver or a runner.
You know, there's there's times you know, it just comes
like a bolt, like a bolt of lightning.

Oh these guys. Yeah, no, I think the Yeah, I

Speaker 12 (12:33):
Just thest from the movie The Great Santini.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Classic Classic.

Speaker 12 (12:43):
I'm gonna now, I gotta guess that one somewhere in
the somewhere in the eighties.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
I'll let you look that one up too.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
And Matt you did talk about the Ramaalama ding Dongs.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
Yeah, they are locked into the three. They win a
tie breaker with the Seahawks, even if the Seahawks finished
with the same record ten and seven as the Rams,
through strength of victory. The third tiebreaker between the two
teams here.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
In your strength the schedule talk what about strength and victory?

Speaker 5 (13:12):
It's over McVeigh resting guys for the final game. Jimmy
Garoppolo will get the startings out of Matthew Stafford, Cooper
Cup will not play. Pooka and Akua will not play.
Kien Williams will not play in a real double middle
finger to the Seattle Seahawks in the Pacific Northwest. Like, ah,
we don't even have to try because the strength the victory,
how you like it, BET's all right.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Don McLean is gonna single handedly pick up Seattle's economy,
spending the weekend there with Brooke drinking good juice, going
to Chetta, Saint Mochette, Saint Michel. That's where they shot
twin peaks. The Rams are ten and six, the Lakers
are nineteen and fourteen. Okay, it's up at seven and

(13:49):
the last ten that works six in the West. Who's
laughing now, JJ. They're in Atlanta tonight.

Speaker 6 (13:56):
Date.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
They're home to Atlanta tonight and you know the Clippers
of Rona. Yeah, he'll be there. Eight.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
He didn't play last night, but they still got to
win over Portland nass Clippers have dropped to in a row.
They have their home tomorrow night versus the Hawks right
here on AM five seventy. Rumor is Kawhi Leonard gonna
play for the first time this season convenience since he's

(14:26):
in the news for some other things.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
A mosquito bite on his kneecap is delayed Kawhi Leonard's return.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
I believe that part would be the knee.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
The College Football Playoff finals are sat the four Notre
Dame versus Penn State and the Orange Bowl on Thursday,
next Texas and Ohio State, and the Cotton Bowl next Friday.
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankie said that he had made the
request to change so Notre Dame and Texas wouldn't have

(15:02):
to play until Friday. So they could get an extra
day of rest like a Japanese pitcher. But the college
football Playoff, which is the SEC and ESPN. It's basically
like Greg Sainkie calling himself and then picking up the
phone say suh, may we perhaps have another day? No,
Sun may not.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
I do appreciate the request you have Levy well.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Breat honor and chivalry you have asked, sir, but I
must decline your inquiry.

Speaker 5 (15:34):
You know what, Marcus, Let me see. Let me put
a call into the committee and find out if they're
willing to do that for you, if we can just
give you that extra day arrest. And I just talked
to him, not gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
I'm so sorry. The Clippers are terrible. They've lost too
in a row. But UCLA is hot.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
They just beating Zanga, that's right, and they will head
to Lincoln as we mentioned, to take on Nebraska tomorrow.
It is an eleven a m tip right here on
AM five seventy, sir.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Let me call myself on my phone and I myself,
who is this? It is me, Greg sankiecc oh. I
want to talk to Greg sank you of the College
Football Playoff, and I would also like to talk to
Greg Sankie of Espair. Yes, sir, this would be that
Greg Sankie, though Notre Dame was a bullied by transfers, Sir,

(16:26):
they still had victory. May we give them an extra
day to prepare for the playoffs.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
Let me check the broadcast schedule here and well, we
may have line ahead of us. Now, will hold on,
let me lead my correspondence.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Much of these I have some of the handwriting from
Horace Greeley, the head of the sec previous, and some
of these by laws.

Speaker 5 (16:45):
I'm afraid we cannot. We cannot make that possible, sir.
I'm terribly sorry. Perhaps some brandy in the study will
have exhausted all opportunities and avenue.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
I suppose Competition Wednesday is now competition Friday, and turnover
Tuesday will be turnover Sunday.

Speaker 5 (17:04):
Okay, that's quick, Cates don McLean.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
When we return.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
Betrosen Money full four hour show going to the top

over with Dodger Talk Frost seven until a PM. He
was fantastic. Dave was at the presser. He'll give you
all the insights surrounding the day's events. Your calls at six,
six nine, at seventy two, five seventy. You might want
to get in line now, because nobody knows how to

(17:41):
spend a Friday night from seven to eight pm. Like
David vasse BFF for The Petrossen Money Show.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
The years change, the days come off the calendar, his
expression becomes more and more stoic and steely. Yeah, he
remains the best friend of great sports time. The statue
in Lemon Park is equally as steely in his hometown.
See me Valley, the leading score in the history of
the Pac twelve. But now you see him on the

(18:09):
Big Ten Network. He's up in Seattle, squinting through the
fog and rain, here to talk college basketball. It's hard
to see those coyotes and snakes to kill him if
you're it's hard to mock a one leg in coyote.
If you can't see him in the rain, it's fair point.
Southern California Toyota Dealer, celebrity hotline fan, duel sports caa

(18:37):
Big Ten Network our hero Don McClain on The Petroson
Money Show. What's cracking down? How are you?

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (18:43):
If he haven't bumped into any coyotes as of yet.
But the weekend is young. I was telling Tim rare
if ever, two day in between on the road, stay out.
So I shipped the wife up here and we're going
to have some fun until Sunday at one o'clock.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Oh, get on the Puget side, get on the sound.
We look at that Mercer Island and the farmers market. Don,
what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? Well?

Speaker 10 (19:07):
In about an hour and a half, we're going up
to Chateau Seamy Schell in Woodville, Washington, sweet to do
a little uh beverage tasting and uh, that's where we're
gonna start, and then we'll see where the night takes that.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Nowhere, it's gonna take it. You're gonna be catching fish.

Speaker 5 (19:24):
I'll tell you what I heard, catching fish.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Rut of the pike.

Speaker 5 (19:27):
I heard Don. I heard Don McClain is busy. I
heard they're keeping him busy. Man, you've got to stay
out on the road for two nights. That means they
are putting you to work.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Oh yeah, well, you know you're doing the pressers all day.
Big ten Network in me with that slope nosed guy.

Speaker 10 (19:40):
Right, I ain't doing s today and tomorrow we have
we have a one o'clock game Illinois Washington, and then
I will be back. But yeah, today and tomorrow, I
ain't doing it anyway.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Good presser say hello, Yeah, we're not gonna go to
a shoot a couple of shoot around couple pressers.

Speaker 10 (19:59):
Actually actually, actually, you're right, Pee, I'm misspoke. I'm going
to practice tomorrow for a couple of hours. But that's it.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
That guy's teeth were red and he was staking drunk.
They're great, Dona Clain problem. They very professional always, of course,
Donal maclay. Now you Seela takes on Nebraska tomorrow. They're
all the way up to fifteen and UCLA and Zaga
is always an unbelievable game, and this one was no different.

(20:25):
How do you feel is Tim Katz looking better and
better on the UCLA Final four shining Hill of Greatness?

Speaker 10 (20:32):
I think I think it's on track. I still don't believe.
I still don't believe that they have enough offense when
it comes down to it, to actually get to a
final four. But that doesn't mean that they can't. Their
defense is elite and they just you know, watching that
Gonzaga game. Who loves to run up and down and
play free, and Mark Fues always want run great offense,

(20:54):
they just put them in a place they don't want
to be and it's uncomfortable and they and they can't score.
And so that thing was as from the start, and
their defense dragged it out and I think, you know,
for them, that's how it's going to be. That's how
it's been. And so we'll see how far that defense
can take him. But unless somebody really emerges, and it
looked like it was going to be Billado and he's

(21:15):
been really good. I just wonder about them having enough
offense to get to a final four, what about to.

Speaker 5 (21:21):
The final of the Big Ten tournament and winning the
Big Ten Tournament crown in their first ever season in
their new conference. You're calling games, you know the conference? Well,
how do they stack up inside what's typically a bit
of a murderer's rote when it comes to the NCAA tournament.

Speaker 10 (21:37):
Yeah, and it looks like the Big Ten's going to
get ten or eleven teams in has it right now?
So in UCLA solidly one of those teams obviously. And
what's interesting about the Big Ten this year is there's
not a Purdue or a dominant team that you're saying, Okay,
they're probably the favorite to win it. There's about five
or six teams that are in the same group that
you say, Okay, one of those five or six are

(21:59):
probably going to win it. And know which one. But
that's probably a good thing for UCLA that they don't
have to overcome a dominant team might produce been in
the last couple of years.

Speaker 5 (22:08):
What about the we we love the win over Gonzaga.
What'd you make of the collapse against North Carolina and
how that thing got sideways on them?

Speaker 2 (22:16):
You bringing up both time and why not? You know,
I felt like a big game too.

Speaker 10 (22:20):
Well, that's kind of what I said. Why I said
what I said about the offense. It's like that when
you come down and look that you can win games
because they want Gonzaga, but they didn't win the North
Carolina game because you know, Mac made a play at
the end of the Kenzaga game. He didn't make it
play at the end of the North Carolina game. And
so I just think until they can rely on somebody

(22:41):
to close games, you're going to see that they're going
to win some because of their defense, but then they're
going to lose some just because of their lack of
a closing individual player.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
You know your way around the amateur amateur circuit. Don
What did you make of the announcement yesterday that Bryce
James committed to the University of Arizon.

Speaker 10 (23:02):
I've seen Bryce James play a lot, and that's a
bit of a head scratcher, it is. You know, he's
he's not a four star player. I know people have
him as a fourth star, but it's you know, the
same thing with Brownie James, a little a little higher
rated than he should be, just based on the last name.
But good for him. If they want him, and they

(23:23):
and they're going to give him a scholarship and he
gets to play the Arizona that's good for him.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
All right, that's good stuff.

Speaker 5 (23:29):
That's good stuff right there. Hey had to ask it,
you know, a big name, big name on time here.

Speaker 10 (23:33):
Yeah. Yeah, again, that was a bit of a head
scratcher to me.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
But sure, if you were an NBA head coach and
you could be done you had the demeanor. Uh do
you think you would be fighting with Barkley like JJ
Reddick is and going back and forth. You know, I
remember that time that Byron Scott got punked by you
many years ago. Yeah, still a great memory here on.

Speaker 10 (23:54):
The show, I would I would tiptoe down that very
softly because a lot of people listen to Barkley and
he's the kind of guy that I think you want
on your side. You don't want to be arguing or
disagreeing or whatever with him. So yeah, you know, if

(24:14):
you're an NBA head coach, you should probably be above
that stuff a little bit. Anyways, what do you make.

Speaker 5 (24:20):
Of each position? Because it isn't I think both sides
are kind of interesting, right, is the most popular show
in the NBA is popular because we love watching to
see Barkley and Check kind of clown on guys and
it's fun and it's entertaining, and that's kind of what
JJ took issue with. But at the same time, we
also agree with those guys because the product isn't as

(24:42):
fun as it used to be. It's a bunch of
guys jacking up a ton of threes, and we miss
the physicality. We miss all that athleticism as we're just
kind of watching a bunch of guys.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Shoot what I.

Speaker 10 (24:53):
Miss moreheart and look, they got rid of the physical
play because it became too physical and there are too
many fights and nobody wants to see fights. What I
miss and has nothing to do because I played an
EDIT era. What I miss is the real competitive spirit
night in and night out, that guys fighting and scratching
and klon trying to win games, guys playing hurt guys,

(25:13):
just just the competitive spirit of the entire thing. And
it just feels like I don't think it's just the
three point shooting. I just think it's the whole air
of NBA basketball now that it's it's a lot of shooting,
but it's you know, we got another one tomorrow night.
It's just it doesn't seem that important in the regular season.
It batchets up a little bit in the playoffs, but

(25:35):
nowhere near how fierce it used to be. And I
think that's what a lot of people miss about it,
not just watching guys shoot threes, but that that guys
really getting after each other and showing people that are
watching and paying money that they really care, that they
really care about playing every night, they really care about winning,
and they'll do whatever to try and make it happen.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
You know, they got they get after each other. Those
wait tunnel walks now though, dig Man, that's a nice outfit.
Don Yeah, Dona. The Clippers seem to be playing a
pretty good basketball and even though Kawhi Leonard looked like
he was coming back before the new year, he's still out.

Speaker 10 (26:16):
Well, it sounds like he's coming back tomorrow or Saturday
for Sunday, whenever they played. It'll be interesting to see
because they have overachieved and their record is much better
than I think we all thought it would be at
this point. But they've really dug into the defense. We've
talked about that on the show a lot that Jeffvan
Gundy deserves a lot of credit. But now you've got

(26:38):
to incorporate Kawhi back into it, and how does that
change the dynamic of what they're doing or what they've
been doing. Obviously, Kawhi, if he's right, he's one of
the great players in the NBA, So you want him back.
But it's gonna be a bit of a change and
we'll see how long it take for him to get incorporated.
But certainly good news if in fact he does play.
This weekend.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
Noted basketball opinion shaper Bill Simmons went on record and
said the Intuit Dome is not just the best arena
in the NBA, but the best arena like in the
history of the world, and the gap is so massive
between everything else and it Your thoughts on the Intuit
Dome's early reviews and how this thing is going to

(27:21):
continue to hopefully draw more and more people throughout the
season and especially in the playoffs.

Speaker 10 (27:26):
Well, here's what we know, and you guys know this.
You don't travel as much as he used to. But
even like say, a residence in if it's brand new,
it's pretty nice, okay, right, But a twelve year old
residence in is terrible. And the originon I make to
that point is that the Intuit Dome is brand new,
and I think they're the first to a lot of

(27:47):
the technology, a lot of the arena design, and I
have a feeling arenas and stadiums that are going to
be built after it are going to have a lot
of this stuff because it's widely regarded. I agree with
Bill is unbelievably impressive, the Into It Dome, and so
I think Steve Balmer and his people have kind of

(28:09):
set the standards. The point I'm getting to is that
this is now going to be the standard for all
arenas and stadiums built. But give them credit. They were
the first too with all the innovation and all the
stuff that's in there. But aside from all that, just
walking in there, and I've told people like you have
to go just to see it, whether you're a Clipper
fan or not, just go and look it into it

(28:29):
dome because it will blow you away.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Oh yeah, the great Don McLain, it's the Jerry Jones
Dallas Pallace of Basketball Stadiums, a standard Center. Uh. Don,
We hope you had a great new year, and we
hope you enjoy yourself up there in the Emerald City
of Seattle.

Speaker 10 (28:46):
We will enjoy ourselves. You guys have a happy new
year as well.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Same to you, John, our best of Brook McClain as well.
And let's go West Virginia, keep climbing mountaineers. Let's go
yeah later, see you there, you go.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
See you say goodbye. Before I got that last question
and I wanted to know, like, is it the is
it the sob Blanc, What's what Chateau Saint Michelle? Is
it that he always reaches for? Is it the shard?

Speaker 2 (29:10):
You know it?

Speaker 5 (29:10):
Is it the Pino Gree? Like I'm trying to figure out.
You know, of all the options and varietals that he
has access to, which one is probably the Pino gree Right,
that's probably what Don's going with.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
I can't I can't even honor this with an answer.
I heard what you were saying down there. Look rich zim,
A nice white zim. That's different with two packets of
equal like a meaty zimp dinner zip on a white zim.
I'll get a red blend table wind port. Did you

(29:44):
have a beer ball on a bottle of Chateau Montelena?

Speaker 3 (29:46):
I have?

Speaker 5 (29:47):
Hey, Don, where did you? We haven't seen the server
come back around. Nobody went out to the bar. Where
don't you get that glass of wine back there?

Speaker 2 (29:54):
What cas you do? Silverpe? I can't have any No,
the hell you cannot. Ha'd somebody stash a bottle of
Chemis in the back for me. This juice isn't good enough.
I'm going to the back.

show of record. Not the band with Doherty, but real

(32:05):
Libertines that just got their bootsos ouse nineteenth century stinking
body odor Libertine.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
That's our Libertine style Bowhus. Anyway, this guy's name is
Hubert Bland.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
Bland, you better have stinky pits.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
He oh he, Matt, you tell me when I read
you about his Libertine style. He was from Woolwich, Southeast London,
son of a clerk, formerly educated, became a socialist, or
as we like to call them here, comedy. Yeah, pinko, Well,
pinko means you're kind of half commede you're you're like

(32:41):
a socialist comed you're trying to act like you're cool,
but a deep down your communist tendencies.

Speaker 5 (32:48):
There's only one shade for me.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
He had a wife, and my wife and a uh
he got Yeah, he got his mother's caretaker pregnant because
the wife lived there with his mother. He also got
the other housekeeper pregnant. He had another mistress who also

(33:16):
had two kids by him. One Rosamund Bland became a
famous writer. He was said he was known for his
voracious sexual appetite. Would seduce anybody anywhere, daughter's friends, wives, friends, everybody.
Great guy to have her out. A real fox in

(33:36):
the handhouse. He was in the opium as well well.
When he wasn't having sex with your wife, he was
smoking the opium.

Speaker 5 (33:43):
Let's crazy.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
He was one of the founders of the socialist organization,
the Fabian Society. He was a big physical person like
an Oldlignement, but he could box and like a big
guy like Abe Link. He also wore a super tall
hat to make him even tall.

Speaker 5 (34:04):
I'm gonna tuck a bunch of guys out.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
There seven with the afro. Did he take off his
hat when he was defiling you. He had a monocle
as well.

Speaker 5 (34:15):
It burns me. I can't do a damn thing about it.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Hammer chicks like tete boy. And he had a shrill voice,
they said, like the scream of an eagle socialist conservative.
Though Matt you might say, like, oh, he's socialists, like
so he wanted chicks to vote and stuff. No, firmly
against women's rights. You can take your suffrageice and you
can sit right here on this d Even though he

(34:39):
was a huge socialist, he was also we need a
big military.

Speaker 5 (34:43):
Seems like there's a couple of things in conflict here.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
But he but he sounds like such a bad guy.
Yet you'd be shocked to know that he was absolutely
adored and beloved in his time. He wrote essays to
Wan Foo and columns Bill Plashke even out maneuvered H. G.
Wells for control of the Fabian Society. At one point,

(35:07):
the Great Rider tried to undercut him, and he was like, ah,
but he knows Wells was five foot four, Yeah, but
twenty six eight got no shot. Seven five with the
top had come on huge hard bood, so his heart blew.
In nineteen fourteen and fifty nine he.

Speaker 5 (35:28):
Died of a bunch of blood downstairs.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
He died a Catholic convert, but still aft like.

Speaker 5 (35:33):
Alex Adams fair Catholic cuppam.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
He was very guilty about that, and if he was
alive today, he'd be very pleased about.

Speaker 5 (35:42):
The Notre Dame Victory, I would imagine.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
So, so there you go, Hubert Bland, a notorious Coxman.

Speaker 5 (35:49):
We are your rhythm show of record. We are your
rhythm section show of record. We celebrate perhaps the most
influential rock and roll bassist of all time today, certainly
one of the most important Happy seventy ninth the John
Baldwin John Paul Jones, as Kates hits it one of
the all time great bass songs. You hear it there,

(36:11):
I do. I hear the bass man very beginning, lower
register when it really hits the chorus, and a lot
of people pay attention to pages guitar solo, but listen
to that John Paul Jones bass underneath it all. God,
it's brilliant. Always the last one mentioned in led Zeppelin
plant page bottom.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Who is the other guy? John Paul Jones? Jeez, I
was remembering because of his nautical name.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
Yes, I saw it on a French poster and took
it just as important as any of them.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
You mean no.

Speaker 5 (36:46):
John Baldwin born in Kent, piano prodigy Understandable is Dad
Joe Baldwin was a famous big band arranger in the
forties and fifties. His mother was in the music business,
so surrounded by it as they traveled around Europe performing there.
It is the doom boom boom, the doom doom, the
boom boom boom.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Yea. I even heard it without the mouth bass.

Speaker 5 (37:10):
Heuh big Bill Brunsey. Charles Mingus learned a ton of
rock mononoff when he was a child boarding school because
the parents were out torn a lot, and said it
was Philip Church and his You Can't Sit Down album
that made him want to pick up the bass, so
he did. He joined the Jet Blacks at fifteen, a
jazz rock band in London, made a name for himself
as one of the best players in the city. Joined

(37:32):
the Shadows. They had a number one hit called Diamonds.
Jimmy Page played on it as well as John Paul
Jones and that was the start of the relationship with Page.
At eighteen, he was hired by Decca to be a
studio musician and for the next four years he can
be heard on hundreds of recordings. From that time, he
was the most requested player in their stable. Bass piano,

(37:52):
arranging strings, any keys. Uh, she's a rainbow rolling stones.
That's his string arrangement. Don Evan's mellow yellow bass.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
But he ain't done, you bitch.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
He got burned out in the studio, said he was
doing fifty to sixty arrangements a month and needed a break.
Wanted to put out a solo record, So instead of
being John Bald when he adopted the name John Paul
Jones released Bah Jimmy Page said in sixty seven, Hey,
you won't play with the U bits?

Speaker 2 (38:24):
He said, what.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
U?

Speaker 5 (38:27):
When their bassis left, Jones took his place, and then
Plant and Bonhom joined the New Yardbirds before they renamed
themselves led Zeppelin. He and Bonham locked together as a
rhythm section of rhythm sections. They both loved funk soul,
and they brought that sound of the band.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Then what better as a duo.

Speaker 5 (38:42):
Matt Ain't that the truth? I mean the sum of
the parts. Couldn't believe it. And it wasn't just the baselines.
It's the keys on rain song man, it's the clavinet
on trampled underfoot, it's the scales on cashmere on the millotron.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah, that was a step too far.

Speaker 5 (38:59):
The he does it all. He was the glue, He
was the X factor, but he doesn't get the recognition
because he didn't stand out off stage like the others
who partied their balls off. But they said he was
just as bad that way. Too many drugs just did
it without anybody around. Rumour was the song Royal Orleans
was about John Paul Jones, but he said only partially,
as it is about a person who mistakenly takes a

(39:20):
drag queen to his hotel room and then falls asleep
with the joint of marijuana and hand lighting the room
on fire. Jones says quote that I mistook a transvestite
for a girl was rubbish. That happened in another country
to somebody else. But there was a girl, Stephanie, who
ended up in my room, and we rolled a joint
or too, And I did fall asleep, and I did
set fire to the hotel room as you do, ha,
And when I woke up, I was surrounded by fireman.

(39:42):
That part is true. When Bonham died, he got out, sure, right,
he's so convenient that three quarters of the story is true.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
But he did a bunch of.

Speaker 5 (39:56):
Time Sonic Youth, Kravitz, Roots, Queens of the Stone Age,
he did the automatic for the People Record for r EM.
He's still around, still around, still alive, still married to
his wife Marine since nineteen sixty seven. She apparently didn't
care about Stephanie the Trainey three.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Daughters, didn't One of a MEFA chick with a shark
sounds about right, Yeah, like a dead shark, yeah at all.

Speaker 5 (40:18):
Book might have been at that hotel right up there
at the Puget Sound, you know, just fish out the
window and then they caught the shark and then well,
I'm not sure it was that. Sean Paul Jones, Happy birthday.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Okay, good night everybody. David Masse is coming up next.

Speaker 5 (40:31):
But bom, but the boom, boom boom when.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Dodger talked, we could not get John Paul Jones.

Speaker 5 (40:39):
The base just did the mouth.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
We were not able to get him.

Speaker 5 (40:45):
You can hear any of that on the next hour.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
To get a couple of days off, We're gonna get him.
We're gonna be back on Monday. Well, the show will
be back at two o'clock on Monday. David Masse coming
