Speaker 2 (01:00):
Some money AM five to seventy LA sports live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app and a huge cannot say it enough.
Want to make sure everybody adjusts their schedules because there
was a change to our final live appearance in the
twenty twenty five calendar year. It is still this Thursday.
It is still at the BJ's Restaurant in brew House
in West Covina off the ten freeway at Baranka however,
(01:23):
the time has changed. Our great apologies. There's some schedule
talk to talk. It is a bit humiliating for us.
We pride ourselves to time short on the relationship we
have with you, the people you come see us when
we go out, when we hit the road, we appreciate
the hell out of it. Nobody at the iHeartRadio Conglomerate
(01:46):
tours the Southland like we do. And it's probably because
we're so dependable and we say we're going to be somewhere.
You bet, you're ass we're gonna be this.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
That's right, Matt. We don't cancel all the time like
some crackhead like Gregory Isaacs.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You're right, we will be there, but we have to
adjust the schedule. The Clippers declined to tell us, despite
their being a change in their schedule five days ago,
that their game tomorrow against the Thunder was moved until Thursday.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Slip through the wickets.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yes, so we will now do our live appearance at
BJ's restauruntber House from two until four pm, not three
to seven. Instead of being four it will be two hours.
We will still have all the great prizes, the westing
House fifty eight inch HDTV, the Charger Texans tickets, the
Clipper tickets, the fifty dollars BJ's restaurant of beerhouse gift cards,
(02:34):
and all of the stuff we have amassed from our office.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And much of the knowledge that I've accrued over the years.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
All of that still holds. It is simply the time
that has changed. Two until four two until.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Fourteen change with the time.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
So please hopefully it doesn't screw up your plans too much.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
We hope it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
We would love to see you.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
The theme of the first ever commercially produced Christmas card.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Was a well.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
It was especially applicable to the Petros and Money Show.
It was a drunk card, okay, eighteen forty three. It
featured a family of eight drinking wine together, grandparents, parents, children,
one of the children even being around a toddler's age,
(04:00):
all chugging wine. Victorian families eighteen forty three. What you
may think of them, they still enjoyed a little bit
of liquid cheer, no matter how old or young they were.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Man, Merry Christmas. Drink some wine.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
It's time for quick hits, something MS quick hits. Come
make it quick, y'all. The Chargers are ten and four,
surprising ten and four with all the injuries to their
offensive line. There in Dallas on Sunday to face Shody
(04:39):
in the Cowboy Shody Shoda, Shody shot with Shatzi. What
I ten am kick on.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
A Shody sixty Shody? You know Shoty. I was talking
to Shody. You know Shot he's down there.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, he's coaching.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Oh that's a good call. We had to dial it
up there, Shody.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
The Rams. David Vassay is in the rambling out. I'm
in the Rambley now. Eleven and three. They might be
the best team in the NFL. And they travel to
Seattle on Thursday night to face the Seahawks. Vassay is
happy that he doesn't have Dodger talk that night, and
now he can watch that game and drink his beer
(05:18):
at the Old Yankee Doodles and be in the rambling
or go.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Across the street to the TGI Fridays. He's too old top.
He's got unbelievable options done at all. The winner takes
over soul possession in the first place of the NFC West.
DeVante Adams is a game time decision with a bad hamstring,
and Cooper Cup says, if you guys, I'm coming for you.
Probably not. The Lakers are eighteen and seven. They're off
(05:46):
until Thursday when they play the Jazz. I think the
Lakers can win Hot.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Jazz in Salt Lake City.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I think the Lakers can win.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
There's no indication that they are.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I think the Lakers can win it.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Not in the running to win it. I think the
Lakers can win. I'm not by the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Probably not, Steve, did you enunciate those words a little
bit more?
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I think the Lakers can win it.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
That's a great he did a great job. You sure
did the Clippers are six and twenty. Stand in suit
the Clippers have lost. I think the Lakers win. Clippers
have lost twenty game. They suck like they suck.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Donkey des six and twenty.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Kawhi and Harden didn't face the media last night after
their loss Losers five o'clock tip on Thursday, Losers, we're
on from two to four and West Cole.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
And they moved their freaking game on us and didn't
tell us.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
We can't move it. They give us a lot of money.
Cannot play with them. They cannot win with them, cannot
coach with him, can't do it. We can't. We can't
win with them.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
It's been fifty days since they last won a home game. Fourty.
The World Series was still going on the last time
the Clippers won a home game and into it, Tim
just said the number fifty, not fifty. Team five zero.
Nearly two months since they've won a game. At the
end to It Dome.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
More off the court news, the NBA Cup might be
leaving Las Vegas like Sheryl Crow. The league is openly
considering the possibility of moving the championship game of its
n season tournament away and then moving them back to
the home arenas of the teams playing on the semis
and the final Why why poor attendance in a sterile
(07:26):
environment and Ali Arena.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Nobody cares about your stupid Nobody cares about your stupid
in season tournament except Mayor Bass.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Tell me about it. I think the Lakers can win it.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
You didn't want to talk about the All Star Game.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I had into it Dome.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
You didn't want to. I don't want to talk about
Nobody to it Dome, nobody.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Clippers are six and twenty and the NBA All Star
Game is going to be at the Clippers Arena and
they will not have a single All Star on the
freaking team.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
A lot of people died at the Alamo this year.
US he's getting ready to play in the Alamo Bowl
versus TCU fight, Don't fight All Fight All Trojans are
a six point fave. Lincoln Riley announced that safety Kamari Ramsey,
receivers Makayle Lemon and Jacobe Lane, and tight end Lake McCree,
and linebacker Eric Gentry will not play for the Alamo Bowl.
(08:23):
What I don't fight, an't fight all? Lane de Crown
declared for the draft, and he said look, John Wayne
didn't even make it through the Alamo. I can't play this.
Too much of a too much of a risk. McCree.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
He's out, he say's not gonna play stupid Alamo Bowl.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Starting quarterback for USC, Jaden Mayava is returning for the
twenty twenty six season. What's good news. We all assume this,
but now they have to make an official announcement that
he's re signed with the program for the twenty twenty
six season. His return now turns the attention to five
star backup Hassan Long Street.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
That street is so long you can't see the end
of it. It's like, man, this thing goes forever.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
It really is. I mean you really, I mean it's
like Western and it's long blocks. You know what I mean,
Like you know what I mean, no brain, no red
line anymore, nothing. It's hard to get down that long asstreet.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Long Street.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Hussan, It's unclear if Long Street will be able to
wait for the bus.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I have an answer to that.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
He won't. Will look at ty Simpson and Alabama waiting
on his turn and look at him. Now, wouldn't you
wait your turn to let him?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Makes he cut out? Now he's out. There throwing it
around at Ohio State. Someone likes long streets. Some people don't.
They like short cul de sacs. You know, you get
in and you get out.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
There's an example for everybody that left that there's an
example for everybody that stayed. Don't you try to come
back at me with the Julian saying at Julian saying
he was sitting in New York. Nobody wanted to talk
to him, but he was still there. He came off
better than Pavia. His first comment scene being named since
(10:08):
being named Michigan's interim football coach, Biff Poggy so Monday
that his players feel betrayed, that his players feel betrayed
and angry following the firing and arrest the former coach
Jeron More. Imagine how Sharone feels.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I met individually with all the players multiple times, and
and with the parents assumed with the parents multiple times,
and the message has been listening, right. I want to
listen to them. I want to I want to understand
what the kids are feeling and what their parents are feeling.
(10:50):
And so a lot of us think, and there's been
a wide range of emotions. As you can imagine, We've
kind of are going through those steps. They're not over yet,
and I don't expect them to be over for a while.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Thank you, Biff. But our main situation is the main
messager mandate.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
The word Manuel gave me is the athletic.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Proctor that I thought they fired that guy too, and take.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Care of the kids. And so that's what I'm spending
all of my time doing, as.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Loving kids and breastfeeding them. Nick Saban is now involved
in hockey. Yeah, that's what I've always wanted.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
He is purchased a minority stake.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Pretty nice feathered hair like me, I can get involved
in this feathered hair business.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Bill Haslem announced yesterday, and by yesterday I mean today
that Dream Sports Ventures LLC and entity controlled by Saban.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I just found out they moved the Clipper game this morning.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Shoe AGGRESSEDEE would now be part of the ownership group.
Quote although and this is from save, I'm gonna do
my best saving here, I'm not good. I knew you
was not good, but I'm gonna do it anyway. Although
I am now retired as a coach, I still possess
a competitive nature and a great passion for sports and
(12:14):
being involved in a sports team in Nashville has always
been a goal, and the opportunity to partner in the
Predators with a class act like Bill Haslam create a
perfect scenario for us. The Preds are a great organization
with a fantastic brand, and we are excited to be
part of the future success of the franchise.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Thank you, coach.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
See miss Terry on your way out please.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I am surprised at your insistence on staying in the
public eye after your coaching career. I did not think
you would do this.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
It's a way for me to stay competitively involved.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, it'll help scratch that competitive itch, the one that
Miss Terry can't read.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
That you've had since Kent State. I get it. Miss
Terry's got fingers though she does That's actually plays a
piano on a day every eight day I sit with her.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
She tickles, Oh, come on, coach, tickles your tape, Miss Terry,
Terry tickles your tape.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
This is why no one takes us seriously. This is why, Yes,
that's why. This is why.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
It's Terry tickles t that right there. I bought a
steak of the Pratts. Now he's never coming on. What
happened I thought we were getting saving on. Now I
heard about the mystery joke. Now I won't come on.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
It's over. You said that my wife tickles my tape,
her long fingers and her ability to play the piano
on a day. Is that what you said.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
That's right, coach, that's what we said. I'm sorry, we
can't help ourselves. We'll be back with Tom to LESCo
talking football of all varieties.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Next. We've made it even easier to take LA Sports
with you this summer.
Speaker 1 (14:05):

seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio app

on the iHeartRadio app. We're gonna be at BJ's Restaurant
in brew House, West Covina on Thursday. We have moved

we have to move our broadcast. It'll be two to

Speaker 3 (14:40):
A lot of blame being tossed around there.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, Tim.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Joining us now, not Tim but tort Us with Tom
our old friend Tom Telesco, longtime NFL like Zach Colts,
Chargers Raiders. You hear him on Serious XM, the NFL radio,
doing great, working in the media at great, acting like
(15:07):
petrs and money.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Coming for a job.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
It's almost like exactly the same type of delivery. Oh yeah,
he's joining us on the Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline.
It is Tom to LESCo. A lot of ape and
monkey bo. Tom, How are you great to talk to you?
How's it going.
Speaker 8 (15:27):
Going great? Happy holidays to you guys, And it's good
to catch up a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah, we love talking Tommy t. We haven't talked since
the high school playoffs. So let's start with the Raiders
because it's like they're astronomically bad and that that's kind
of hard, and that that's hard for an NFL team
to be that bad. What what has happened to them?
Speaker 8 (15:50):
Look, there's been so much turnover. Obviously I was part
of it, but there's just been so much turnover the
last four or five years and I guess going back
even farther than that, it's just it's hard to get
anything started with continuity and and the schemes you're gonna
run and the players are they're gonna fit it. So
you know, as as regimes come on and the regimes
(16:11):
move on, you know, players that were drafted may not
fit anymore, players that were signed may not fit so
eventually that they need to get to a spot where
they kind of hone in, Hey, this is the GM,
this is the head coach, and this is the plan
moving forward. You know, I knew when I was there,
like there's just the talent level needs to increase exponentially,
and it's a very tough division and it's going to
(16:33):
take time. It's not going to be a one year rebuild.
It's going to take a lot of time. They have
great resources there, They had a great culture there when
I was there, and you know, believe me, ownership is
pretty good. I had a great relationship with Mark Davis,
So they do have some things in place, but just
from from a from a talent standpoint, player wise, right now,
they just can't line up with the rest of the division.
(16:53):
So it's going to take some time.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Tom if you end up with the number one or
number two overall pick, unless you have a franchise quarterback,
undisputed franchise quarterback that comes into the conversation, don't no.
I know you haven't done like all your evaluations yet
and stuff, but I'm assuming you've seen enough of Bernanda
Mendoza to kind of get an idea is to whether
or not that's that's a guy that you can envision
(17:15):
getting selected number one overall. Can you see him being
like a franchise guy?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
I can you know this?
Speaker 8 (17:22):
It's probably senior. It's a very thin draft right now
at the quarterback position. And but we'll see if Dante
Moore ends up declaring or not. And with this world
of nil and you're seeing a lot of players go
back to school because now they're being paid enough to
do that, which is not the worst thing in the
world because they go back and keep developing. But this
quarterback draft class could be small, and there are so
(17:42):
many teams right now that need quarterbacks and it's a
supply and demand league. So Bernanda Mendoza is going to
be one of the top guys. And if you're picking
high in the draft and you don't have a franchise quarterback,
you're probably looking his way. He's got he's a great leader,
he's got good arm strength, he's got a little bit
of Mocks to him. I think he's got a little
bit of Matt Ryan in him as far as how
he handles late game situations. He's a good, good enough athlete.
(18:05):
I hope he's gonna get a lot of yards with
his feet outside the pocket. But he's certainly going to
be a player that we're gonna be looking at high
as well as Dante Moore if he declares. He's got
a lot of skills. But Dante Moore hasn't played a
lot of football in college yet, so he still has
a lot of development there. But there's a lot of
teams that are going to be up on top of
that draft that knee quarterbacks, and in gregiously, you're not
going to find them more than likely, possibly a Kyler
(18:29):
Murray comes out, but other than that, there's not going
to be a lot there. So you're gonna have to
look at the draft, which raft is a bit light.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Right now, Let's go from the Dante Moors who haven't
played a lot of football to someone you know intimately
who has played a lot of football, just not in
the last five years. I'm sure you watched Philip Rivers.
I'm guessing you did unless you were tied up there,
But no, no, I thought as so, you know Shane
Steichen very well, you kind of know what probably went
(18:56):
into that decision. What did you make of it when
you first heard and then and what did you end
up see?
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Well, look, I was even though I know both guys
very well and the ship know him better, I was
still surprised and shots just because not so much about
Phillips stage, but obviously being out of football for five
years and just not in that daily grind of being
a professional football player and how hard it would be to,
you know, to come back and play in NFL football.
So I'm really amazed that he could come in essentially
(19:23):
on three practices and a walkthrough to go out there
and execute an NFL game plan. And Shane did what
he could do with the game plan. It was as
you saw, it was a heavy run game and the
passing game was very short. Get the ball out of
his hand, get the balls the receivers, tight ends, running
backs early, and let run after catch takeover. And he
(19:43):
executed it and gave him a chance to win, believe
it or not, you know, because the defense did so
well for the Coles Holdings. He had a lot of
the end zone, so I thought it was impressive. Now
moving forward, you know, there was a lot of shotgun
runs and the average yards for attempt was was below.
So it's hard to win in the NFL that way.
And I know they signed them to win. It didn't
(20:04):
time just to play. So we'll see this week can
they open it up more, which they're going to have to.
And you know, the question is can they with Philip's
mobility and whereas arm is right now, but the mind
is there that the question is would you lose your
quick twist decision making just a couple of milliseconds and
that could affect things. And honestly, that was there, which
(20:25):
is just incredibly amazing to see for a player. But
we'll see this week how we can rebound. If you
can get the ball down the field a little bit more,
give a better chance to win. But I thought the
whole thing, the whole story is just amazing. It's a
great story that the NFL is undefeated when it comes
to storylines. And there's another one Monday, night when they
play well.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
How about a team you are very familiar with, Tom,
because between you and Joe Ortiz, you built a hell
of a defense that the Chargers have humming since that
buy between Derwin and Dayon and Tuley you traded for
Khalil Mack and you see cam Hart and Tari've still
drafted last year by Joe out there or a corner
really feels like this. This is a team that has
(21:03):
got superior play at all three levels.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Is that enough?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Considering the challenges that they've had, specifically on the offensive line.
Can a defense that looks this dominant be enough when
it comes to the postseason?
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Yes, if they played the way they did last week
in the last couple of weeks, this is the defense
that we saw more of last year and and really
saw that this past Sunday with just the physicality, the
speed of it, and then having multiple rushers. You know,
Ado Faint always is that third rusher that's playing really
well too, so he had him with Khulil Mack. Tuley's
playing outstanding. So you got three guys that can rush
(21:36):
the passer. Derwin James during Derwin James type things all
day on Sunday and their secondary is really underrated. The
secondary is very good and very well coached if they
play the ball really well. So yeah, this is a
defense you can rely on. And with the Chiefs, I
just thought they out physical the Chiefs and the Chiefs
way they're constructed. They have a lot of speed at receiver,
but they're small. They've got three of their top floor
(21:58):
receivers there one hundred and seventy five pounds or less.
And they really didn't get down the field on the Chargers.
They kept them you know, short to medium and uh,
you know they kind of beat the beat those guys
up in between the numbers. So yeah, I love last
team from the defense, and the offense is still coming along.
I mean they've I mean you've got Justin who can
make big time plays and now having Hampton. I love
Amaryon Hampton. I thought he's a now standing runner. He's
(22:21):
he's a threat, and he's a hammer. He can really
wear people down.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
So yeah, I love where they are right now.
Speaker 8 (22:27):
That was a big win last week, and you know
they're going to be in this moving forward.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Are you surprised that the Chiefs are out this year?
And do you think they'll bounce back?
Speaker 8 (22:37):
I mean, I think they're gonna have to rebuild it
a little bit certain, especially on offense at both tackle spots,
and that's really been an issue for them for a
number of years, but they've been able to get over it.
But it's just been magnified this year. I mean, Patrick
Mahomes has been hit almost as much as Justin Herbert
has and every everybody wants to focus on the Chargers
offensive line, but the Chiefs off liensive line has not
(22:57):
played that well either. And you know, I just talked
about wide receiver. They just mee a little bit more size,
a little bit more than the guys that can win
outside against bigger TV's bigger corners, and really they haven't
had a running back at the Schubawt Charles.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
So I think there's a lot of.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
Things on offense. We're gonna have to be old. I
like them. I'm that's healthy. They have a lot of
good players on the defense, and once Mahomes is back
and healthy, they're always going to be in it because
of him, but they're going to have to have some
sort of backup plan going in the next year. There's
going to be another team that may need a quarterback
just because you don't know when Mahomes will be ready
going into the year. But look, they still have Andy
(23:32):
Reid and Brett Beach is an excellent GM, so they'll
just retool it a little different way. But starting next
year on twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Six, Tom, the Raiders and Giants are going to play.
I think it's in week seventeen, not week eighteen, And
a lot of fans look at that and they see
to two win teams, two teams that have a chance
to have the number one overall pick or maybe slide
down a little bit.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
If they win.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
What what happens, you know inside a front office is
you're trying to figure out how you're going to move
forward when you have to re build things and got
so many issues. How does that work? I know it's
it's a dumb question because obviously you want to win games.
But when it's Week seventeen and you're two and fourteen
or two and thirteen, like, what's going on inside that building?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Well?
Speaker 8 (24:14):
I went through a similar last year with the Raiders,
and like you say, yeah, the fans actually is a
big contention. They just want us to lose out in
December for a better draft pick. But look, if you're
going to build the right culture, you just can't build
it that way. So we were trying to win all
the way out, and I told the coaches to the
players where it was, as many games as we can
and we'll figure out the draft later and we're not
going to do it the other way around. So that's
(24:36):
just the culture you have to have. It's hard to
do it any other way. And there's no way you
could You could tell a player that you know, we're
going to we're gonna sit some people down in this game.
Doesn't mean anything, because it does. It does mean to
a lot of people and a lot of coaches. So
you just figure it out later on that that's part
of your job. So I just would never let that seat.
Then I understand that's the fan way of looking at it.
(24:58):
And you know, frankly, if you're going to be that high,
you may not be that high that oftense. You want
to get a chance that you know, in this case,
you know the Giants will need a quarterback, but the
Raiders will certainly being that market and at the light
quarterback draft. But look at if you're running a franchise,
running a team, you want to build the right culture.
You're going to wear every game you can and then
the GM can figure it out later.
Speaker 2 (25:18):

start at two o'clock on Thursday, two to four, wellert
(26:53):
instead of four to seven or three to seven. It's
two to four at the BJ's restaurant in Brewe House
in West Covina. But now it's time with the dead
guy Birthday of the day. All right, p your dead
guy Birthday of the Day. There were two sides to Waterloo,
and we typically only hear two sides, like Hugh Jackman
of the missteps by Napoleon when we're counting it.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
So let's get to the guy that kicked that ass.
Geb hart Lebrecked von Blucher would have been two hundred
and eighty three today. Von Bluecher, one of Prussia's most
famous military leaders. Born in Rostouk what is now northern Germany.
I don't know how this works, but it has said
he came from a modest noble family. They were nobles,
(27:36):
but modest nobles. Began his military so.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
They didn't have a lot of cash. They had the
title title, a little bit of property, not a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
He began his military career at sixteen, joined the Swedish
Army's light cavalry. Dropped right into the s Sweden's in
a war with Prussia seven years war, Bluecher gets captured
the Prussian colonel Vilchem Sebastian von Belli just so happened
(28:06):
to be a relative, and he was impressed with keb Hard.
So he's like, why don't you join us? And he
did and it worked out a decision that would shape
the rest of his life. It was not without its bumps.
Blucher was a bit unruly impulsive, did not take well
the orders, did not take well to superiors, so he
(28:28):
quit and retired from the army.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
We're not moving our show, you move your show. It's right.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
When he was thirty and then for fifteen years he
just kicked it as a farmer had an estate.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
It's just a kickback it's not really a party.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
But he longer returned to the action. Finally, the Red
Hussars or Who's ours or Hussars called and he went running.
He was reinstated as their colonel. He kicked some Netherland
ass career advanced steadily during the Wars of the French Revolution.
By the early eighteen hundreds, Napoleon's expansion and threatened Prussia
much of Europe, and Bluecher was the guy commanded to
(29:05):
stop it. So he led his Prussian forces against Napoleon.
He suffered a major defeat at the Battle of Gino Orsted.
But what do they say, Kate's just set it to
us the other day. Hey can lose the battle, just
don't lose the war. So when Blucher refused to surrender,
his stubborn resistance earned him the nickname Marshall Forward, reflecting
(29:28):
his relentless drive to attack. Regrouped, pushed for military reform,
strengthened the army. Took him five years before he was
ready to go back at it again. Prussia rises against
Napoleon in eighteen thirteen. He commands Prussia. You know a
Prussia was it man? He commanded the army.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Buck Alpine village. It's not there anymore.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
You could still feel it every time you drive by.
He scored an important victory at the Battle of Katzbach.
His aggressive tactics put pressure on the French forces helped
weaken Napoleon's control over Germany. Of course, we're probably not
talking about Blue Chirf. He wasn't the guy calling the
shots in eighteen fifteen Battle of Waterloo. Almost didn't make
it pee. He's an old man. He's seventy four, but
(30:09):
he's leading Prussian troops against Napoleon's forces. Defeated at the
Battle of Lynnyi, and he was injured. His horse fell
on him.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
That's tough his life, especially at seventy four.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Right, his life was saved by the devotion of his
aide des.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Comt Imagine if that had happened to Don Shulo.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Now I am not good with pronunciations. I believe this
gentleman's name. His aide de camp was Count Nose Hits
or No Seats. He threw his overcoat on top of
the commander to obscure his rank and identity from the
passing French. As he lay there, he bathed his wounds.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Why you've downed the greatest man in our army, sir.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
They bathed his wounds and a liniment of rhubarb and garlic.
He was four to five by a liberal internal dose
of schnapps, and he rejoined his army and they were like, butcher,
it's over toast the Brits. They're toast. Napoleon's won. He said,
f you, and he led his army on a torturous
(31:15):
march along muddy paths. Arrived on the field of Waterloo
in the late afternoon and he said, quote forwards, I
hear you say it's impossible, but it has to be done.
I have given my promise to Wellington, and you surely
will not have me break it. Push yourselves, my children,
and I will deliver victory. The Duke of Wellington and
(31:37):
his regiment were getting their asses kicked until Blucher showed up,
turned the tide scored a decisive victory against Napoleon. He
was celebrated as a hero throughout Europe. He was given
land in Prussia, land in England, a hero everywhere, and
according to Napoleon himself, he was quote a bull that
looks around with rolling eyes, and when he sees dame
(32:00):
your charges stubborn, untiring, but knew no fear. Then he
was a man who lived for warpee. Right after he
scored that victory, he died two years later.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Well, he's seventy four out there with a horse falling
on him.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
They said he was known best for his boldness, his perseverance,
and his unwavering hatred of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Okay, that's our guy.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
You know.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
That's how people talk about like George Washington. And I
heard somebody saying, like, dude, it's like six' four back,
then it's like he's like eight eight feet all he's
got wooden, teeth and he's all pissed. OFF i, mean
we get taxed way more, now you. Know But washington wasn't,
alum he's helping hand. Slap he scared the crap out
