Today we did, however, get snipped at the front by
Dodgers Giants. The Giants hammering the Dodgers last two days,
Dodgers had stuck their opponents for ten plus runs. Today,
the Giants go ten plus on the Dodgers. Tomorrow they'll
(01:27):
take on the Cubs Sunday. They will play the Angels
in both of those games, just like today's, will be
heard right here on your home of the back to
back World Series champion Dodgers at twelve oh five pm.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It's an exciting time as the Dodgers prepare for this season,
a season where expectations would crush a lesser team, a
season where expectations would make them feel trapped in their
own greatness. But not these Dodgers, not Andrew Friedman. And
(02:00):
not only is he gonna fix the Dodgers every year
like he does, he's gonna fix the Lakers too. My god,
somebody had to. He's gonna put Lebron on that banana
boat and send him away, and Chris Paul can go
with him because he ain't got no job. That's a
(02:20):

hopectually when Matt's breathe it right down your neck, ready
to jump on you and read the script.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I was distracted by something on the telly. I apologize
it is it is not a leap year. Twenty twenty
four was twenty twenty eight, will be. But since tomorrow's
the twenty eighth and Sunday is March first, we'll do
a little leap ear fun fact. Did you know, unlike here,
leap ears are kind of a big deal throughout Europe.
(04:39):
February twenty ninth is called Bachelor's Day in the UK,
Ireland and England, and so I shouldn't say the entire UK,
but Ireland and England it is known as a day
one of the Scots. The Scots are like or not
in this. We don't want the Bachelor's Day. You can
holve it. It is the day that women shameful.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Mel Gibson is laughing Scottish it is terrible. Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
It's the day women are allowed to and are supposed to,
if they so want, proposed to their man. And back
in the day, if the woman proposed on Bachelor Day
feb twenty nine in a leaf ear and the man
declined he was to buy her twelve pairs of gloves
(05:30):
to hide her ringless fingers, and enough fabric to make
a skirt. Okay, why'd you agree to marry her? Didn't
want to buy the gloves did not go well?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Twelve pairs of glove there Sean Connery's back.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
The fabric of a skirt seemed like it made more
sense than getting married. Rang.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
That's Lewis Ampleton. Yes, all right, everybody, it is time
for quicks quickitch. I'm nigga quick y'all. Another spring training
game coming gone for the Dodgers. They got booped and
(06:18):
bopped in Scottsdale against the Giants. And let me tell
you that the World Baseball Classic is coming. Yamamoto is
done on his way. Now, Hayesan kN is done on
his way. Now Otani has been gone. And I gotta
ask Matt Smith, are you gonna watch? Like? Are you
(06:39):
gonna be? Like I'm weighing, I can't wait for the
Barbados versus Barbados State game in the World Baseball Classic?
Like how deep are we gonna go here? Like I
don't you know what I'm saying, Matt, Like, oh, you know,
the Fins are pretty good this year. They got Jurgen
von schlergan.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Well, I think we all and Yamamoto through today for
the Dodgers. So yeah, now he's gone three inians in
and now, like you said, he's gone. That's a great
question because I do remembering.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I can only deal with so much, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I understand, I understand, I accept it, but as I have.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
To be in the middle between you and Dave. You
pro World Baseball Classic with the jacket on with all
the logos, all the flags on it, like that guy
at courtside at the NBA game with the leather jacket on.
Oh yeah, that has all the logo patches on it.
Like if you're going to be that guy, and Dave's
gonna be like they better not even let Yamamoto look
(07:37):
at the mound, you know, like that kind of stuff.
Somebody's got to be in the middle, somebody's got to
handle things in a diplomatic way. And I just need
to know how far, how far you're willing to go,
Matt with your global pride.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I like to think that it's not gonna happen, but
I do recall the last World Baseball Classic. H I
did get sucked in. I did enjoy the crowds. I
thought I would lamenting. It'd be great if our baseball
crowds were like this. Remember, like everybody got inside of
balla Juzella's and how great is this is? This is
what baseball's like at every game in the Dominican Republic.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
And yeah, the Puerto Ricans are singing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I on my flight back from Indy last night, I
had to check the schedule. I was like, is the
World Baseball Classic starting this weekend in LA I had
three separate people on the plane.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Is three a lot?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
No, but it was still three three people with Puerto
Rico hats on the World Baseball Classic Puerto Rico hats,
So certainly they're getting.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Ready for it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I'll probably be pretty into it. And now, am I
gonna be getting up at two am to watch the
Tokyo Dome games between Korea and Japan? No?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
But all right, I'm just trying to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I think you saw the I don't know why I
shouldn't say I think you saw. I don't know if
you saw. I posted the the bat from our friend
John Minter. He was making he has a couple guys
playing in the World Baseball Classic the Glomar Team USA.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Now maybe we should get him on. Let's get them on.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
The WBC bat he made for the UH for a
couple of his players is pretty fey.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I think that's a good UH end of the Hour
type of interview that we could do with Mintor on
his spiritual patiod. But if you're gonna have one of
those up your colo about the World Baseball Classic, I
just need to know because it's and and by the way,
I do have good intel that the three guys with
the Puerto Rico hats on your playing home from Indianapolis
(09:29):
are in the West Side story cast. They're Sharks. That
what it is. That's why that's why there was an
amassment of them.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Is that is that the Seers? Is that what's happening?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah, that's it's a West Side story at the Seers.
The Lakers. I think the Lakers could win it. Not really,
they're thirty four and twenty four and they seem to
hate each other and they really hate Lebron he ruined everything.
I think the Lakers could win it. You should have
stayed out with your Sianica or.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I think the Lakers win the form of it there's
some form of it.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
They fell to the Suns one hundred and thirty one
and ten in humiliating fashion. A bootleg and Sons team
Luca don Chic scored forty don Chici scored forty one
points in the loss. The next game is tomorrow against
the Warriors in San Francisco. The Sons without booker Drayson
(10:21):
Allen stuck him for like thirty and he didn't even
have to punch anybody in the balls. Leave him alone,
I say, to punch people in the balls. He's paid
his dues, likes to trip people. Okay, well, what are
you gonna say about Draymond Green. He's on the Warriors.
He'd like to play of that and choked out foreigners
like Rudy Gobert. There is that Lakers legend. Byron Scott
(10:43):
has said it now, Matt. The last time we played
sound from Power one zero six was never we have
talked about this is Tito, and we have talked about
the Baker Boys in the past, and of course we
all know that big boy, our colleague, came from POWERWEO.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
That's what threw me off. I'm like, what the help
show is this? I thought big boys like oh y,
that's right, big boys here, he's upstairs with us exactly
ninety two three.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
It's only been about twenty years man, But that's cool.
Laker legend. Byron Scott says Lebron needs to leave Labo.
The drum beats are getting louder Lebron. Byron who Matt
does take on bridge with?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Well, Lebron did leave him hanging and he lost, I believe,
twenty seven games in a row as a head coach
in Cleveland. Very hard to do.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Byron joined The brown Bag Morning Show on.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
What should what should call our morning show? Well, I
like the brown bagg It.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I like the brown bag and every day.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
All right, let's do it for you brown bagging time.
Let's brown baggett uh.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
This is Byron Scott on that show. I just thought
it was laughable.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
You were coming from one of the greatest players that
ever played a game to say that it was harder.
It's harder to play now than it was then.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Are you ready to see him go from the Lakers?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yeah, yea, yeah, you know, I mean, like I said,
I'm a fan, and but you know I don't mince
words either. I mean, I think this should be his
last year. Here, Uh not an NBA just here, No,
just here? You know, I really you don't have to
go home? Yeah, you know, it's it's uh, it's Moor's Day.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
You know what I'm saying. Come on now, Yeah, that reference.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I don't think the brown Bag Morning Show picked up
on that reference. No, I don't think they did. I
think it went right over their head.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Ha ha ha.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Ha.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You think it's time?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah, yeah, I think it's Moors Day.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I mean that, Yeah, almost sounded like round here or
what was the rain? The rain? Kid ranging The Clippers
are twenty seven and thirty one. They dropped their third
straight to the Tea Wolves. I saw the first half
ninety four to eighty eight. They host the Pelicans on Sunday.
(13:02):
Who'd watched the game with social media? Matt, Okay, were
you guys part of the wall? Did you not sit
where you stay? All the way? Ran alone in our
own specialty two of you in the suite. No one
else wanted to come. I discussed this with you already. Yeah,
I know.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Well, Combine was pretty great yesterday. The defensive ends were
as advertised. Former Modern Day Guy former Stanford Cardinal transferred
to Texas Tech to get a couple million bucks. David
Bailey showed off as many expected he would. The Ohio
State players Rvel Reese and Styles recent Styles. I think
(13:43):
Styles was a four to four seven. Reese was a
four to four to seven as well. Dudes that are
two hundred and sixty pounds. Pair of linebackers, Styles I
think jumped forty three inches. So you had a couple,
you know, bigger, stronger, faster types on the defensive side,
and I think they're kind of projecting maybe seven ish
(14:04):
defensive ends to go in that first round. I think
both the Chargers and Rams could be in the defensive
end business. Those are always premium positions that people could
the teams are interested in. So I thought that went well.
And yeah, over the weekend you'll get the offensive players.
So you see those the linemen, the receivers, the backs,
the quarterbacks, all happening over the course of the weekend.
(14:25):
Cornerbacks are going today. Rams are certainly in the market
for a cornerback, a couple of them, one out of Tennessee,
and I think there's a safety that reportedly they are
interested in out of Oregon. I don't remember how to
pronounce his name. Tienaman or something like that, like Tienaman
Square I believe is his last name. So I thought
I thought it was Howard the Duck exactly that guy too.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Now that's the kind of analysis we're looking for. Yeah, Matt,
it looks like the Cowboys have picked Pickens.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
The Cowboys have picked Pickens.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
A non exclusive franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickott.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
My apologies. Indeed, franchise tags are due. I believe by
March third the franchise tag numbers came out. It's a
big number. They are content to give George Pickens twenty
eight million dollars for this one season if they cannot
come to a long term agreement. They did trade a
third round pick for him to Pittsburgh. He did produce
(15:25):
last year. I think he had like fifty yards less
than the entire Pittsburgh Steeler receiving corps did, so he
was pretty darn great with DAK. Not surprised, but still
a huge number that you would assume they would come
off of with the long term deal.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
All right, And the La Kings are twenty three, twenty one,
and fourteen blown out by the Oilers who were eight
and one carn McDavid recorded his one hundredth point of
the season, joining Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux as the
only players with nine one hundred point seasons. The King's
host Calgary the Flames tomorrow. We talked to Luke Robatai
(16:01):
earlier in the week. The Anaheim Ducks are thirty one,
twenty three and three, third place in the Pacific Division.
That's pretty good. They host the Winnipeg Jets tonight at seven.
You see La hoops up and running tonight. They're nineteen
to nine overall, eleven and six in the Big Ten.
(16:23):
The Bruins play at Minnesota Big Ones tomorrow at eleven.
We're all looking forward to that matchup. And in the NCAA,
A football panel proposes changed to targeting ejections. We did
discuss this already. The D one rule makers have proposed
a one year trial rule allowing a player disqualified for
(16:46):
targeting for the first time to play in his team's
next game, regardless of which half the penalty was assessed.
The old gentleman's targeting where you get it.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Right at the end of the game, I'm gonna lay
this dude out, or right at the end of the
first half. I am going to get injected, but I
will be back. I will miss the least amount of
time next week.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Currently players disqualified for targeting I have to sit out
the rest of the game, and if the penalty occurs
on the second half, you got to sit out the
first half of the next game, which is why you
want to wait as long as possible before you blow
somebody's head clean off. We'll be back with more Petros
and money, some miscellaneous reaction, and then we'll get the
debt and the Live Guy Birthday to day and David
(17:30):
Massey has got Dave Roberts and JD Martinez Todger talk at.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Seven Petro some money, AM five to seventy, ELA Sports
Live Everywhere huh on the iHeartRadio I big thank you,
Alan Sliwa to David Massey joined us in the last
couple of hours. Anything you miss, you can always relive
through the iHeartRadio app and the AM in the moment
or have your on demand Petros and Money show product
waiting for you.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
All Right, before we say goodbye for the week, we
still have your dead and a live Guy Birthday of
the Day to celebrate. We still have a lot of
dishes to wash this text. Aulso says, this text.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Us fine, brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
We make it easy.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Now late in the week. This is some real deep
inside baseball sports talking that I know you will appreciate. Matt.
This text says. For decades, scientists have pondered over the
question what is the difference between Manu Chau and Robstein?
At last we have an answer eight minutes. Thank you
(18:42):
for your contribution just science. A lot of people questioning
their identity along with Ac Slater, And I think that's
a good point, Matt. I do think that when we
had shows like say, By the Bell, the College Years
and nine O two one zero and so on and
(19:03):
so forth, we were able to deal with societal problems
and get the commercials in and not worry about it
for the rest of the day. And since we're playing
some old nineteen nineties episodes, people are starting to ask
themselves the same questions that people like us did in
the nineties, back when the world wasn't filled with brain rot.
(19:26):
And that question is why am I so deep? Why
am I so deep? Why am I so deep? It's
because you're not on your phone all the time because
it's the nineties, that's the answer. That's a great point.
But because of the fact that we've been playing Slater
coming to the realization that he is a Latino, because
of the hot Chicona studies chick or at least she's
(19:49):
cute or desirable, I would say people are starting to
question themselves just off of that, Matt. So we're doing
our due diligence in great sports talk by inspiring others.
Hey P, my last name is Ruiz. We pronounce it
Ruis or Ruis supposed to be pronounced like Reese, but
(20:10):
you roll the r Reese. Am I Latino? That is
your Angland name? I believe, Yeah, Reese, Ruis Ruis, you
are a Latino. Hey P, a Chicano here when you
(20:31):
said that, Check wanted some of that pepper. We of
the Spanish speaking population refer to the puzzo in Spanish
as a pepper or a chile, So you're right. From
now on, when you're referring to Latin puzzos, you're free
to substitute the term with chile or pepper. Oh yeah,
(20:52):
the Latino delegation appreciates you, and he sent me a
brown fist at Pepper or Chile. Yeah, so, I mean,
I think we're making an impact. And I didn't know
that bringing up the David Silver Dances at the high
(21:13):
School dance when they invited the black kids from Shaw
High School, the nine oh two one Oero episode from
yesteryear that got us to the A c Slater, the
college years. I'm a Latino, and I think it's done
a lot of good things for the show, and a
lot of good things for people to be able to
look in the mirror and say, what am I right?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I mean, you've you've examined your past. Tom papas Fritis.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah, Tom propas Fria, Tomas Papa Sprina's turned into Papadakis. Well,
not a Greek at all. He was a Latino that
ran a hog farm down in the Tijuana area and
there was a local dispute over some razorbacks and he
went north of the border and took on a green identity.
(22:01):
It's all been alive, Matt, and I didn't know it,
And if my son didn't try to get into the
military academy, we would have never known that I was
Tom Papa's Friedas Matt. We did do the F one
report at the beginning of the show. We got set
for the twenty twenty sixth season. I believe it's going
to be an exciting one, well for southern California and
(22:23):
for the fact that Lewis Hamilton, one of the most
famous athletes and drivers of course on Earth, is dating
Kim Kardashia, which is I mean, a real revelation for
all of us. It's one thing to go out with
like a Portuguese fitness model. It's another thing to be climbing, Yeah,
(22:43):
climbing the fleshy mountains. No, not since Mount air Rat
right near Armenia should be in Armenia has such a
exactly right. But it is Matt's job to start the
the Fantasy League is on the F one thing.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I already looked and I forgot how to do it.
So I'm gonna have to take the weekend to figure
it out. Since we got a week to do this.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Three days to figure out. Will the winning Fantasy driver
team name of Circus Nargus make a return to the
F one Fantasy League this year. Best team name ever
that it is in reference to my old classmate at
Peninsula High and present like getting name checked on the
(23:30):
show Nargus Kamali and I did have some Nargus Kamali
news Matt I picked up at the She does not
like you don't want to hear about the Nargus do
I just feel bad? You know? Hey, well you know
what you don't know Nargus Kamali.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
You brought you shared on the air that she that
you found out she does not like getting name check?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Right? But why does that make you so inflamed? You know,
because I respect. You're in the car with me riding
the Circus Nargus, and I'm the one, the one with
the admission tickets. Circus Nargus is live in the in
the parking lot at the South Bay gall Area.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Just like Andrew Rafner doesn't like it.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Nobody hates Nargus Kamali. But the word on the street
is she moved to Manhattan Beach from out Orange County somewhere.
That's a Nargus command right. I love it that place.
I got that news at the Little League Baseball opening
day from Little Trina and Garrick Denny, Doctor Garrick Denny.
(24:37):
They told me what was going. I got the four
one one on the street. So we'll be back. We're
not going to end the week there. We'll end it
with your dead and a live guy birthday other day.
Thank you for listening, everybody. It's Petroney Spikes with pain.
Uh that depends, how does it? How does it relate
(25:00):
to my musical tape. We're going to find out that
might be even deeper than the Robstein eight minutes. We'll
be right back. Stay with us. It's frog Man Friday.
Thank you everybody, mercifully coming to an end on a
frog Man Friday is the one the only petro San
(25:24):
Money show on AM five seventy l eight, Dave Roberts,
the Dodgers Skipper, all sorts of things to navigate this
spring with heavy expectations on the Dodgers that is coming
up next right here on AM five seventy, your home
of the Dodgers and on the iHeartRadio app. And there's
(25:45):
been a lot of moving pieces to the show in
the last couple of weeks. A big thank you to
Colin Yee who has been in the last few days
helping out in production and always here to lend a
helping hand. Ronnie Fosse, our incredible and creative engineer at
Ronnie Fossio on Twitter posting the playlist every night. Who
(26:08):
knows what the weekend has in store for Ronnie. So
we will all be off a couple days and be

thank you to everybody putting in work as there's been
a lot of moving around and Dodger games and different
stuff technically, So thank you and don't forget to reap
(26:30):
the fruit with the Petros and Money podcast on the
iHeartRadio app. Is there a schedule? Is this scheduling me
this weekend? Matt? There is schedule.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
As we had it today Dodgers Giants, Giants knocking the
Dodgers around a little bit today. We will have games
both tomorrow and Sunday. Cubs tomorrow, Angels Sunday, and it'll
be a double header of play by play. We get
all the games being played on the station on Sunday
as the Clips will take on one of the league
(27:05):
worst teams in the New Orleans Pelicans. That'll be a
six pm tip off here on AM five seventy LA Sports.
So if it's play by play you are seeking, we
will have it in the very exciting form of Dodger
baseball and in the play by play form of Clippers basketball.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Well, I mean, I guess that's fair. I mean, you know,
I'd like to defend the Clippers because I was there
last night. Yeah, for one half, but at the same time,
hell of a half. I mean, you know, as half's goal,
it was a half. I guess you know what, I guess,
I understand what you're saying. Don't forget to podcast the show.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
It was a very nineties like physical, you know game
played in the nineties. Well, I guess it would be.
And I mean that by like score well on my
way home, nineties style game that scored in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
In a little bit on Am five seventy on the
app and Carlo and Adam. You know, Adam chimes in
a lot, a lot. Yes, he does a great job.
And I have to say, at a certain point, and
they both do a fabulous job. It sounds their broadcast
sounds great. The Clippers are lucky to have them both.
But but at a certain point, to your point, Matt,
(28:23):
in the in the third quarter, as I was on
my way home, I think I was on Prairie, which
I took most of the way into the South Bay
or in the South Bay to my area of the
South Bay. I heard Carlow say this game is not
stuck in the mud, it's stuck in tar. And then
Adam said it's prehistoric.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
See that's that's a good guy working off another guy.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
You know, double guy's having a great time about that.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
You know, we can and and next thing, you know,
and that segment's brought to you by the labret tarpits.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah, yeah, let's get out there, get out there, live
the live the tragedy of the baby elephant reaching out.
It's it's trunk to the momb right the mammoth. Excuse me,
all right, Matt with that in mind, well, eam, because
he pulls a lot of wool. Yeah, a lot of
strange wool. Matt. You got the dead guy birthday in
(29:19):
the day, I believe today.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Indeed, how about the guy who designed the Lockheed you
two still considered one of, if not the most dangerous
planes to fly. The skill required next freaking level, but
it is incredibly important to our American military arsenal. The
man who designed the mother scratching S seventy one Blackbird.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Oh well, I mean, all right, come.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
On decommissioned one right there in an outdoor museum off
the West Side Highway in the big town.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
It's freaking cool. He you check it out. You want
to get a ten year old in the eighties attention,
We are your advancement. Talk about that Blackbird's right, we.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Are your advancements and aviation show records A big, happy
one hundred and sixteen to Clarence Leonard nickname Kelly Johnson,
born in a tiny mining time.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
That's a weird nickname.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
It's fun gonna get to it because I was like,
that's a weird nickname. His parents were sweet immigrants.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
My name is William, but everybody calls me Jim.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
His parents were sweet immigrants. His father was in construction.
Young Clarence was a tinkerer. At thirteen, he entered and
won an aircraft design competition. Family did not have a
lot of scratch, so we had to go the Juco
route Flint Junior College en route to the University of
Michigan Aeronautical Engineering. Said he was teased for his name
(30:45):
that instead of calling him Clarence, they called him Clara,
and he beat a dude's ass so bad they decided
to rename him Kelly, who I guess was some local
fighter of the time in Spain because he beat so
much ass as Clarence. So he was like, all right,
I'll take that, and he stayed Kelly for the rest
(31:06):
of his life. While in college, he was part of
a research team that conducted wind tunnel tests of Lockheed's
proposed Model ten airliner. He's a student, by the way,
in undergrad and he was pointing out the aircraft did
not have adequate directional stability. Professor who was leading the
research project for Lockheed, said I think you're wrong, young Kelly,
(31:29):
and he said Lockheed should ignore what Kelly was saying
and listen to what he was saying. Well, they hired
Kelly made a whopping eighty three dollars a month. Johnson,
once hired by Lockheed, would add an h tail to
address the problem on the Model ten. It went on
to be a huge success. He was immediately promoted to
aeronautical engineer, given a real salary. By twenty eight he
(31:52):
was already their chief research engineer, and when they opened
up Lockheed's Burbank, California plant, which later became the Lockheed
California Company, he was named head of research and development,
a little bit of Burbank research here, or R.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
And D, R and D, R and D.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Turns out the lockeed Burbank California plant was in an
old bourbon distillery that smelled so bad. Kelly Johnson nicknamed
it skunk Works, and the name stuck. It is still
known as skunk Works. They built the P thirty eight
Lightning over ten thousand of those played a major role
in WW two. Here in the Nazis, we're working on
(32:33):
a high performance fighter jet and not wanting the Nazis
to get a leg up on American air superiority. Kelly
Johnson led the P eighty shooting Star research and construction
as America's first jet fighter. In fifty five, the CIA
came to him and said, we need a spy plane,
and he would design the U two all weather, day,
(32:56):
night intelligence gathering capabilities and the ability to fly above
seventy one thousand feet.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
I bet he never envisioned Tom Brady screaming ola and
singing Vertigo into a phone. Years later at a U
two concert.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I heard his poor Kelly, I heard his lawyers served
a season desist. This is why it only happened once
ten years after he built the U two, he was
asked for a long range, high altitude recon mock three
plus aircraft. Deli Johnson's like, no problem. In nineteen sixty
(33:31):
six he hands him the SR seventy one Blackbird. That's
how it wasn't a clown bird, the real bird Mock
three point two at eighty five thousand feet. If a
surface to air missile was launched at the SR seventy one,
its evasive procedures were to accelerate and outpace the missile.
(33:53):
In seventy four, it set the record for the quickest
flight between London and New York one hour, fifty four
minutes fifty six.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I see London, I see France.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I see a blackbird hauling us. He stayed on through
the early eighties, over fifty years of service. Santa Clarid
is home to the Kelly Johnson Research and Development Center.
He is arguably the greatest aeronautical engineer in our nation's history.
In addition to the ones mentioned above, he is responsible
for the Model fourteen super Electra that completed a world
record flight to fifteen four and forty one miles in
(34:24):
nineteen thirty eight. The P thirty eight was the first
fighter to exceed over four hundred miles an hour, the
EXCEFT ninety, the first jet with an after burner and
fly supersonic. He did the C one thirty hercules, the
longest continuous production run of any military aircraft in history.
And for the fancy folks, pe he even did something
(34:44):
for the cibies. His jet Star C one was the
first ever dedicated business jet or as we call them
these days, private jet put into service our man, Jeez
Kelly Johnson.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
A lot two things, Matt. Number one fu with the
song YEA and number two. I stayed right next to
the Lockheed place in a hotel when I was in
Orlando for the Space Game. Look at that. I'm not
sweating it either. So for your a live guy Birthday
of the Day, this guy's thirty years old. His name
(35:23):
is Ted ted ten born in Bangkok. Matt. He went
to Shrewsbury International School.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I feel like we got a lot of Bangkok news
these days on the Dead and the Live Guy.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yeah, he is a tie guy, but he makes his
bones in Korea like all the other boy banders. Shrewsbury
International School, by the way, is the home of the
blown Achilles at halftime versus Duke, which is one hell
of a Anaska from a Thaie Chinese family. He won
(35:59):
Team Superstar and got a South Korean contract with one
of those big giant baby fetus bladder warehouses of entertainment
in South Korea in Seoul, and he's been in many bands.
(36:20):
NCT is a South Korean boy band that he's in
and it's China based offshoot Wavu and the supergroup Wave
em Wave m some solo work as well. In the
(36:43):
last decade plus, he's been very popular. Matt really in
the prime of his boy banding. He speaks Thai, English, Korean,
and Mandarin. Okay, he's got it all covered. He is
exempt from time military service because he has a trick knee.
(37:08):
I'm so he cannot. He does not have to serve
ick Nina militarily. So if you're ready, Ronnie, we can
kill the music, thank you, and we can get to
the titles here. Uh, if you're ready, Matt, are you
prepared in there? Black on black? Really? Matt during black
(37:37):
during Black History Month? Yeah? Really? Okay, it's got a
guy I am. I can tell baggy jeans. We did.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
We did grow up in a certain time and Baggae
jeans or something Black History Month as well.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
I kicked my luck off hair hair in the air,
(38:19):

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Now, if I were freshly shorn, I would have given
it crickets, but with the.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Yeah right, flum magee, paint me naked. Elementary school teacher.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Yeah, I was just thinking when you said or when
you read, because you already had this elementary school teacher.
Which elementary school teacher popped into your brain?
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Or did one?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Because for me it was mister laylof fifth grade.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
You know, Matt, I try to forget everything. Yeah, so
so not one did, did it? No? I thought, I
think I can pull this off with horns, And I did.
That's what I thought. Okay, I'm focused on the task
at hand. My eyes are on the road and bent
to it again, not mine.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
They're playing the alphabet game all the way up and
down the highway.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
I like to think about Missus Malu.
