pretty much expect that whatever colors they have, they will

because it's the best. Find out more at cuy dot Edu.
Slash Coaching should have had Kate's que up. Some tragically
hit for this one. Did you know the death of
that singer really affected Justin Trudeau deeply. Now he's with
(04:01):
Katie Perry grabbing her ass on a yacht.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Hey, she's been to space. Did you know you were ballast?
The first professional home run ever hit by Babe Ruth
September fifth, nineteen fourteen, the only home run he hit
while in the minor leagues as a nineteen year old
(04:23):
Providence Gray in the International League.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
What kind of name that can we get? That's totally unoffensive?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Just about the grace love it. He connected with a
pitch from Ellis Johnson of the Toronto Maple Leafs, launching
a three run dogger over the right field fence at
Hanlan's Point Stadium. He was the starting pitcher that day,
allowed one hit in a complete game shutout as the
(04:55):
Grays one nine zero. The Toronto Star nicknamed him the
south Side Phenom. That's a good name. Sultan's swat pretty cool,
But south Side that's created. Come on, plays for the Grays.
Come on, it's very creative stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Matt.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Forget about that Oregon Ducks grateful Ducks uniform. That's I
want to play for the Grays.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
My uniform is gray and we got the south Side Phenom.
This kid, Babe Ruth playing for us. What does what
does your alternative uniform look like? Well, it's a darker
shade of gray. It's a heather. You know, everybody that
comes here to Toronto to play baseball is technically from
the South. I feel like there are a lot of
potential south Side Phoenix. I really feel like you could
(05:42):
be from Buffalo and still you're still the south Side Phoenom.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
All right, it's time for quickens, somethms, quickets, Come make
it quick, y'all?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
The Dodgers getting ready for Game one of the World
Series Friday in Toronto are all south Side phenoms to
these people. Dave Roberts south Side Phenoms Done Right, met
the media via zoom earlier. Born in Okinawa, Real South.
Here's part of that.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
You've had a veteran group all year long, You've been
with them for a while now. How have you been
able to not allow your voice to just become white
noise and even when things were not going their best
this year, to find a way to get the best
out of those guys.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
You know, I think we're going to run the same
rotation back, I think for sure for the first two
Smell and then and then Yamamoto and we'll see kind
of from game three in game four. Yeah, you know what,
I think it's one of those things that they know
(06:48):
me pretty well. I've learned to know them pretty well.
We have a lot of the same people that have
been together for quite some time, and with that you
learned kind of how to, you know, ultimately get the
best out of them at certain points, and when to
push them and challenge them, and when to give them
some latitude and some grace. I think there's a there's
(07:12):
a complete trust with me and the players, and our
goal of winning a championship has never been in question.
But yeah, you know, I think for me as you
can see, you see it firsthand. You know, there's times
I give guys freedom and like I said, grace because
the game's hard, it's a long season. But there's other
(07:35):
times where I kind of I get to be a
little bit more stern in my messaging and expectations, you know,
when I feel the times right.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, Dave, how much more comfortable are you with the
six day break this year compared to the breaks the
last two years?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I think actually much more comfortable, you know, even after
you know, the game four, when we're flying out tomorrow,
which sort of breaks up the monotony of not playing.
We took the one day off, but the guys are active,
the guys feel good. I do think that there were
(08:14):
some guys that were nursing some things so to get
us back to full health. But actually we got to
simulate a game another one tonight, So I feel good
about kind of the guy who's focus and playing and yeah,
we'll be ready to go on Friday. Feel good about it.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Freddy Freeman also spoke with the media via zoom, another
South Side legend, even though he's from Canada. Here is
the Dodgers first basement.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, I know you're playing for the visiting team, of course,
but is this something that's going to be special for
you and your family, do you think?
Speaker 9 (08:45):
Yeah, my dad is obviously going to head out there
tomorrow as well, so it's going to be pretty special.
And I'm not so sure the Canadian fans Blue Days
fans will be cheering from you this time around like
it was in the day of VC the last couple
of times.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
But it is special.
Speaker 9 (09:03):
Both my parents are born and raised in Canada, especially
in the providence of Ontario. My mom from the Toronto area,
dad from Windsor, So it is special, you know. Every
time I go there, it just kind of you just
have this like feeling inside that you feel just a
little bit closer to my mom. So I'm looking forward
to it. I'm excited every time I go there. It's
(09:27):
you always. I always get this little envelope in my
locker and it's always like pictures of like a third
cousin has found photos in their garage and they and
they and they bring.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Them to me. So I love going back to Toronto.
Speaker 9 (09:39):
It's a special place for obviously my family and I
and every time I go back there, I feel a
little bit closer to my mom.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
So I'm looking forward to getting there.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
What was your filling last night?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Just watching that whole country go crazy with the Springer
home run and seeing Black Grero, you know, crying after
the game.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Yeah, I mean that's special.
Speaker 9 (09:56):
I mean, when you have a whole country that's, you know,
behind one team, it's it's pretty amazing. And then obviously
what they've done, They've they've been invested in their team,
into that stadium, the busying clubhouse, they've redone, so they've
put a lot into the Toronto Blue Jays and to
just see the city come together and I get to
experience so much jubilation that they had yesterday going to
(10:18):
the World Series for the first time I think it
was thirty plus years, So you know, it's an exciting time.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
And obviously, you know my family.
Speaker 9 (10:26):
Being from Canada, it's pretty cool. But it's bodies had
an amazing postseason so far, and you know that everyone's
Springers home run.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
It's just stuff that you that they won't forget. And
I think it's just gonna be a really good real series.
Looking forward to it.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
And how about this, Matt the already you'll ever have
an iconic moment in the World Series in his career. Now,
I think he'll ever be lucky enough to know Okay,
And it's so beyond the realm of pots, such an
incredible career, trying.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
To get to the next story, right beyond the realm
of possibility that Freddy's ever going to do anything that
anybody remembers ever just because you have got to be
kidding me, Ben, that's.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Never mind Game one in the World Series. You got
to be kidding me.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Ben.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
You have got to be kidding me. Ben. That is
the best moment sports I have ever seen. You just
happen right in front of us. Dude, thought is the
best moment in sports I've ever seen. You have got
to be kidding me, Ben.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
That is the best moment in sports I have ever seen.
Can we move on, no, to something important. The Angels
have hired a new manager.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Great congratulations, guys. Way to go. The Dodgers just are.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
In the world.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You're going to act like we don't cover this team? Yes,
is how we're gonna act.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Suzuki forty you might have Atani and Aamoto and rookieak.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Just because you drove a Suzuki Samurai in high school.
That's the only reason you're interested in this story.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Now, that's a goddamn line. Never been behind the wheel
of a Susuki. I've never been in one Suzuki's.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
You had Missus sixth seed.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
You're right, sixteen years for five franchises and won the
twenty nineteen World Series with the Nationals. So he knows
what he's at an education. He spent the last ever
managed before three years as a special assistant.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Though to Perry Manassia, well was he the manager or
was he in the front office? Well, if it's Manassia
and it's a front office guy, he seems like he was
in the front. But he's a SoCal guy who played
in Fullerton. He did.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Former Angel stars al Poolholz and Tory Hunter at Arkansas
Pine Bluff were also in consideration for the job to
replace Ron Washington, a Supreme educator. Ron missed nearly half
of the twenty twenty five season while undergoing quadruple bypass surgery.
The Angels rewarded him by firing him. Wait to make
(12:52):
it and stay alive. But you're fired, Ron. There's more
off the field Angels news, Matt that you don't seem
to want to participate in I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
This I'm fine with because it's not on the field news.
You're fine with this death and destruction. Mike Trout testified
today at Santa Anna Court that he loved his teammate
Tyler Skaggs like a brother and never saw signs of
drug use before he died of an overdose on a
team trip to Texas in twenty nineteen. Trout took the
stand in a civil trial of whether the team should
(13:23):
be held responsible for its communications director Eric Kaye giving
Skags a fentanyl laced pill that led to his death.
They want like fifty million bucks. That's a very unfortunate story. Yes,
thank you, Matt. Yes, season tips off tonight for the Lakes.
Thanks for your contribution. They host the Golden State Warriors.
You'll hear from James Worthy in the very next segment,
(13:45):
Pavot Talk lakeritting. You're ready and guess what. It's a
glorious night because Lebron is out. It is the Lakers
debut for the twenty five to twenty six campaign, and
it is Lucas team with the Andre Ayton, with Marcus Smart,
with all of the with Austin Reeves and his sweet
new Travis Matthew from the Course to the Court collaboration.
(14:09):
No Lebron, as Russell Westbrook called him in a book
out there, fake ass Lebron to get in the way
of Lakers success. Tonight, man, we had Will Smith come
and Lebron was like, was this punk Will Smith coming?
Then all of a sudden, Will Smith walks, Oh, I
was watching. I am legend.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
I love that moment, that one scene that you was
in when you punched that alien.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Let me tell you about fake ass Lebron.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Man, give me.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
We had Will Smith come once, give me the scoop
about the fake ass truce.
Speaker 10 (14:47):
And he was like, oh, that gout sucks. And then
Will Smith walks in. He was like, oh, snap, you went.
Chargers fakes Lebron. Thursday night, have a real game Dog

Speaker 11 (15:55):
Yeah, we'll get ready to go. We'll leave on Thursday
and we'll go play on Saturday. The time is whatever
time it is where we're at, and we're gonna go play.
If there's no excuses I blame the trip or any
of that stuff, We're gonna go have a gree team
practice and we'll go ballot it out out there.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
All these teams practice in the morning and then all
of a sudden, you have a nine am Pacific game.

So it's a four point thirty kick.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
You know what, we're really happy about the schedule this week.
We are very excited about the schedule against Nebraska. At Nebraska.
Speaker 6 (16:45):

out the window at the flat land.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I can see them to the edge of the earth.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
From here, all the way I stand on a Tunican,
I can see still water.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Look at that.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Big twelve issued a public reprimand fifty thousand dollars fine
of Arizona State University first storm in the field and
smoking a dube. There were smoking dubes on the field.
Why not that occurred on Saturday's football game night against
Texas Tech. You know they're trying to ramp down on
the Tortillas and Lubbock. The Big twelves is just they're
(17:20):
not trying to have any fun anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Fifty grand you know they'll pay that, right, Ah, it's
a bag of shot. Make it bag no problem on
the Tureros.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
SCC is fine Texas A and M five fifty thousand
and reprimanded their coach, Mike Elko, for a violation of
the conference's injury policy. They put a prosthetic leg on

Speaker 6 (18:29):
James Worthy right on Tile joining us on the petros
and Money Show. As the NBA kicks off again, I
mean tips off again, and there's nobody like James Worthy
Big Game. James is an ambassador to the city of
Los Angeles for pro basketball and specifically the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I think the Lakers could win it.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Many do.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Forget about all these other stupid questions. That's the question.
Speaker 12 (18:56):
How the Lakers win its MVP multiple championships with the
Showtime Lakers Emmy's eternal celebration for one of the greatest
NBA players of all time.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
I had a champion of the NCAA tournament as well.
He knows nothing but greatness and also a jazz aficionado.
Our dear friend James Worthy on The Petrosen Money Show,
what's cracking?
Speaker 7 (19:23):
James?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
How are you.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Here? We go? Here we go, always exciting to get
things going, So why not get it started? On The
Petrosen Money Show, Why not?
Speaker 6 (19:37):
And where we really appreciate you doing it. Say hi
to Geeter for us and everybody else over there and
el segundo, but give us a little vibe on you know,
I mean, I'm sure you have a pretty good idea
of what's gonna what the team is like or what
might happen when the season starts. Do you feel differently
this year than you have in the last few years.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Well, you know, given the fact that they they they
had like half a season with Luca last year and
they were able to get to third in the West,
which was you know, kind of impressive without a d
without a a rem protector, and then they met their
(20:17):
fate uh in Minnesota. So I think it's nervous time.
I think it's nervous time because you got a full
year with with Luca. Lebron will come along a little
bit later. You got a center in Ayton who's who's
revived and trying to revitalize his himself. Remember he had
(20:38):
great years at Portland. I mean, I mean at Phoenix,
not so good at Portland. So, uh, he's capable, he's young.
You got Marcus Smart. Uh, you know, a guy who's
good for the locker room, like a real dog in there,
who's gonna you know, lead by example and and we'll
be able to speak, you know that knowledge. And you've
(21:00):
got you know, Austin Reeves on the last year of
his deal motivated. You know, Rui's got a lot to dool.
So you know, they they have the pieces and they
have the team. It's just a matter of are they
gonna be able to compete in a you know, in
a very tough West Conference. But I think the opening
(21:22):
night with Luca healthy and and you know, ready to lead,
you know, without Lebron. Last year they fared pretty well
when Luca was on the floor, I think they you know,
they they did okay without Lebron. So it's just going
to be interesting to see how they come out of
the blocks and what JJ Reddick has done to implement
(21:44):
you know, new players and how they're going to play
their roles.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
James, what have what have you seen kind of thus
far practice preseason? I know it's not a lot, but
just from the new look Luca cutting weight, getting in
shape because you know, I know people would get on
him for for being heavy, but that seemed like is
what he used to his advantage, right, He was like Jokicic,
just pushing people around, using that weight to throw defenders
(22:10):
off of him. How much do you think his game
will change, if at all, and and do you think
it's for the better? Do you think it'll it'll hit
him at all that he's got to make some sort
of adjustments or what do you think we'll see from him?
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Yeah, I agree with you. I remember Jokic, you know,
he was, you know what wasn't in like the best
of shape, and then he figured it out. But he
still had his weight on him. He still had you know, muscle,
and he just he's a people mover. That's how That's
how yokis and you know, uh, Lucas similar. I think
(22:45):
he still has his strength even though he didn't have
you know, the weight that he has. He still has
you know that he's still tall, he's still massive. You know.
Larry Bird was kind of like that, you know, didn't
you know he was like, you know, super quick at
getting around people, but knew how to create space. And
(23:05):
I think, I think what I've seen look at this far,
it's it's going to benefit him, you know, especially on
the defensive end. He's he's not gonna get his tired.
He's actually have that actual weight you know, to carry around,
and uh, he still maintains his strength and ball handling,
the skills. I haven't seen him skip anything. So I'm
hoping that he'll be able to you know, sustain a
(23:28):
little bit more left injury, be stronger down the stretch
in the fourth quarter, which he already is, but you know,
going along with this team being more of a leader.
I see, I see. It looks pretty good, you know what.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
You know, the talent, I mean, you saw it in
the playoffs. He helped the Suns get to an NBA
final a few years back. For whatever reason, it got derailed,
but we know what it looked like for these Lakers
in the postseason. They needed a big and they did
not have one, and it certainly cost him that series.
He's kind of, what have you seen so far from
Ayton from that position and how much of an addition
(24:06):
that can be and how much that's going to help
this team out.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I see a willingness and I see a guy that
understands you're in Los Angeles now. When I think when
he was in you know, Phoenix, I think he was
you know, I think maybe when he was like twenty
two years old, he's like sixteen points, twelve rebounds, you know,
help a team get to the finals. So he knows
how to play. And I think being around you know,
(24:34):
a successful franchise, a franchise that demands it. You know,
when you come to Los Angeles, you're on the microscope
every night. And what I saw in media day was
his understanding of that. He knows he's got to be
a defensive wizard and also be a threat offensively. And
I you know, and a few games that I've seen,
(24:54):
I've seen the effort, and you know, he's he's a
pretty smart player. And I said this before, Guys, they
start to peak around twenty seven to twenty eight. So
you got Luca at twenty seven eighton. You know, he's
got it. He's got to get it done here. It's
just he knows that this is Los Angeles. You know
when you look at even guys like Dwight Howard or
(25:16):
JaVale McGee, those guys got it done when they were here,
not to mention, you know, a D and some of
the other great. So, yeah, he's he's in a he's
in a good situation with Luca. He's with a good team,
a good organization, and you know he's he's got to
he's got to prevail.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
What do you think the Lebron situation will end up?
Like this year? He's out right now. I mean he's
old and he's not in his prime like those other
guys that you mentioned, but still plays at a high level,
but he's got a sciatica. It just sounds like an
old man injury because it is what what do you
think is gonna happen? How much will he be able
(25:53):
to contribute when he contributes?
Speaker 4 (25:55):
You're right, it is an old man I've had it
for like three years. Just doesn't go away. It's just
the golf man. It's no there's no stretch the can
can get rid of it. But you know, I think,
you know, look Lebron for a long time, you know,
he had he had, you know, father time on the ropes.
(26:15):
You know, in fact, he's still got father time backing up.
You know, he's ropidoping for all the time. And I think,
you know, we don't know, you know how an off season,
you know how his body feels, you know, And and
I think he's just gonna survey. He knows his Lucas
team now, I think Lebron knows that, but he wants
(26:36):
to win. Lebron wants to win. He's he's not He's
got that one chance to win. So he's gonna be observing.
He's gonna be taking a look at the team and
and seeing how, you know, things unfold with you know
without him, Uh, I think it's gonna take a lot
of bit of a lot of the leadership. Uh, you know,
(26:58):
roll away from him. You know, he's he's gonna settle
in and just play accordingly. But he's got to get
healthy first. He can't come out there and you know,
be seventy percent at his age, he's got no records
to just set anymore. Uh So I just think he's
gonna take it easy and see how it's sounding foes,
and then make decisions accordingly.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Now, James, you're gonna be looking clean tonight on TV.
You look clean on TV in a nice suit. You know,
you look good when in the eighties, back in the
day and beyond. Uh if you were playing now, I
guess you'd be like really, I mean, you have to
really concentrate on what you're gonna wear. The way they
cover these guys walking into the stadium, you know, they're
(27:42):
dressed up like it's like the Golden Globes, like they're
going to space.

it's time for the Dead Guy Birthday of the.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Day Pinks, blues and golds. Disney legend Mary Blair one
of the most influential artists in the history of the
Walt Disney Company.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
I associate this song with you as well, Matt, because
I'm small and I live in the world. No, because
I got stuck on this ride with you for like
an hour and a half while your whole family fell asleep.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yeah, we're all backed up, caught to pay to get
much cheese. I know that the ride was backed up.
I was fine. Yeah, And this song plays on a
loop as it will for this Dead Guy Birthday of
the Day tribute. Her ground breaking use of color, her fresh,
imaginative style, her bold visual story telling, and a new
(31:20):
approach is what defined the look of Disney's most iconic
era films theme park attractions as they made their debuts.
Work from Mary Blair would inspire generations of artists and animators.
She was born in McAllister, Oklahoma. She went to San
Jose State Let's Go spart. While there, she earned a
(31:42):
scholarship for graduate work at the Schwinau Art Institute of
Los Angeles, one of the most respected art schools in
the country at the time. Graduated from there in thirty one,
and her reputation has already made its rounds because the
innovative in the thirties California Watercolor Society granted her admission
(32:04):
upon her graduation.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
If there's going to be a society that does watercolors,
that's the one.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Mary Blair. That's what he wants, rightw she got it.
It was her use of vibrant hughes whimsical designs that
stood out made her quite famous in the artistic circles.
She married fellow artist Lee Blair in nineteen thirty four.
Together they joined a group of artists that were exploring
the emerging field of animation. Nineteen forty, after declining previous advances,
(32:38):
Walt Disney himself made the pitch to Mary Blair to
join Walt Disney Studios. She worked on concept art for
Dumbo Lady in the Tramp Fantasia. Walt requested her to
join him on a goodwill tour of South America. South
America America is a great during World War Two, sponsored
(33:02):
by the US government. Strength and cultural ties. She said
it had a profound impact on her art. Bright colors,
geometric forms, lively patterns of Latin American culture is what
influenced her style. And ultimately, she said, Disney when she
got back to California, she was a leading color stylist,
a concept artist for all of those films of the
(33:23):
forties and fifties. Her fingerprints p all over the famous
Disney film Saludos Amigos, one of my favorite famous Disney film,
the Three Cavalleros, Oh.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Come on, We're three Cabalianos, three k Cabilieros.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
And then some little films that didn't get as much attention,
like Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
Those are pit nothing compared nothing the Three Cavalieros and
Saludos Aveos.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
It was the warmth, the emotion, they said her colors
brought to every scene. She left Disney in the mid
nineteen fifties, hired as the lead illustrator. If you're of
a certain age, you remember the Little Golden Books. She
did all of that, Invited back by Walt Disney to
design for the nineteen sixty four New York World's Fair.
That is where she created the design and color scheme
for and I did not know this. It was not
(34:15):
an attraction ride. It was the Disney submission to the
World Fair. It's a Small World was part of the
nineteen sixty four New York World's Fair, and then they
moved it out to Disneyland. She died in nineteen seventy eight.
Her influenced though stands posthumously named a Disney legend in
ninety one. One of the greats. She painted emotions, and
she captured the timeless magic of childhood with every brushstroke.
(34:40):
Mary Blair, very exciting. Do you want me to go
through this one more time so you can get that
vibe when we were stuck on the route? Yeah, it
listen to it for about an hour. Kids, We've traveled

Speaker 2 (36:04):
From Kemmy Finland.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
He's been in some pretty sweet power metal bands, but
he is most associated with Sonata Arctica. Well, they used
to be known as Tricky Beans or Tricky Means, and
they were like, no one's gonna know that we're hardcore metal.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
We'll take it seriously. I don't let everybody know we're metal.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
So they changed their name. He wasn't a band called
Requiem sounds pretty metal.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Very metal. I think the Arctica also very metal.
Speaker 6 (36:32):
The band he's in sees themselves as melodic metal. Now
after many many decades, played the key tar his favorite
keyboard player, Henrick's favorite most inspired by the guy from
Deep Purple. He was chosen by Sonata Arctica because him
and another guy were up for the keyboard job. So
(36:53):
they got drunk with both guys like the bachelor okay,
you know one and then the other right, and they
liked him better drinking, so they hired it.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Actually quite brilliant.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
He got the job to shred for Arctic Sonata. Well,
drinking vodka's important in Finland.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Yeah, I mean you're gonna tour and be on the road.
What's this guy like as a drunk?
Speaker 6 (37:11):
They have a prolific library of face melting power metal.
He also has a solo album called and the Weird
Turned Pro with two other guys from also quite metal
Sonata Arctica. Kanfee mates It's Melted from the Metal. In
one of the videos, he wears a traffic cone on
his head, which is now a trademark for a section
(37:33):
of his fans. At the metal shows, they all wear
traffic cones on their heads. Behind don't want to be
behind them, just like you don't want to be behind
the Marshmallow DJ or Danger Mouse. Can't send damn thing
hardcore finished metal band had eleven albums Give them their
flowers Man eleven hours Sonata Arctica.
