Speaker 2 (04:02):
I'll let that one slide.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Hey, coach, heck coach, coach hide the word. And I said, no,
I told your parents.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That I was going to let them know if you
were making yourself a better individual graduating with a degree,
you skipped study hall, you slacked at practice today and
now I'm calling your mother and you will tell her
that while standing right there. And because I did that,
he knew that I loved him. Your final hour.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Fun fact, I was working as a waitress.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
The word broadcasting, oh is from the mid eighteenth century
agricultural community. It is a term that means wide scattering
of seeds. It did not become a term related to
radio until the twentieth century, when the first radio broadcasts
were created. Like with broadcast sewing, radio broadcasting also involves
(05:06):
a large scattering of radio waves, songs, and entertainment, hence
applying that farming agricultural term to the world of radio.
I didn't see Sam Boney there. He was banging the
drum slowly, banging the drums lowly.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
It's time for quick hits. F you kates quick hits.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
The Chargers have parted ways with Greg Roman. Matt's lament
was last hour. I thought I better get f and
fired Man.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Roman was hired by Harbaugh when he arrived in LA
I had of the twenty twenty fourth season.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Remember they had the dual RVs down in Huntington Beach,
one right next to each other and.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Now he blew up the other guy's RV also worked.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
That's how he informed that he was you know, my
RV was right here?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Have we blown up an RV down there by the water?
Harball'sc with the Niners from twenty eleven to twenty fourteen.
So Roman is the only OC Harbaugh has worked with
in the NFL. Longtime partnership has come to an end,
and Jim will now have to search for his replacement.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I could see Mike McDaniel. I feel like him and
coach Harve's are a little tiny guy. Yeah, very similar
in the way they approach football. I just it's almost
like looking in a mirror, you know when you see
those guys, little guy with the capri pants and the.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Drug dealer thing. Oh not the guy that was a Denver.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
No, the head coach of Miami.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
That guy.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
That guy.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah, I know, I don't see what uh. For the
fourth time since nineteen sixty nine, the Steelers got to
look for a new coach and Chuck Knowle is not available.
Long time go do you know? Mike Tomlin has agreed
to step down hi his post in Pittsburgh, signaling an
end of a nineteen year run in the Iron City
(07:07):
as the longest tenured coach in the league. Some have
gotten a hold of Dave Damashack Shipwrecked the Big Show.
They are talking, oh shipwreck and Damasheta. It's the same guy.
The Rams are getting ready for their divisional round matchup
against the Bears on Sunday. Yeah there is that's in Chicago.
The Rams are a three and a half point road favorite.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Hey, they were four and a half points now, there's
some money coming in on the Bears. It's top three
and a half.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Kl have been the Bears, Matt. The Lakers are in
a tailspin. Tell you hate to see it. I think
the Lakers can win it.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Congratulations to Steve Hartman and duck it into the Southern
California Sports Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Next year, when they
print the program on pink colored construction paper, the pixelated
image of him next to Mason and Ireland will look
even better than did this year. You know, no wonder
(08:03):
we'd never you invite us, you call us, you hound us,
and you ask us to come. This is what you
get this Lucas hurt.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
He had his left thigh wrapped in eyes. After the game,
he said he abrogated, aggravated something in his thigh or
groin areas aggravated, the aggregation between the thigh and the bruin.
The Lakers are back at it tonight. They host the
Atlanta Hawks.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
No rest for the weary.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
The Hawks come screeching in six and oh on the
West Coast this year, and they're tired of the lies
the Lakers. Lebron's bringing them down.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Lebron's bringing them down. The vandalorian is bringing them down.
Why do you call him that?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
It's all because of Lebron. This team was fine before
Lebron showed up, and then everybody got ruined. And then
the stupid podcast started with Rich Paul and he started
planting the various seeds about guys that people love, like
Austin Reeves. Oh yeah, that's bad.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well, guess what game Lebron's gonna have a patch on
his uniform, a patch that's a Lebron patch. I'm wearing
a patch every single game for the remainder of the season.
Adam to honor me. Excuse me, yeah me, It's gonna
honor me. And then that patch is gonna come off
and I'm gonna send it to a trading card company,
(09:20):
and they're gonna put it in a pack. And when
you break packs or crack packs or whatever they call it,
someone's gonna get lucky and they're gonna get my patch.
And that's what I'm doing for the remainder of the
season is I have sabotaged. I'm a saboteur. Insufferable. The
Clippers are sixteen and twenty three. They're red hot though.
Oh you saw Carlo today, Oh the bounce in his step.
(09:40):
Glasses are all fogged up, see the bounce in his steps.
They've won three in a row, ten in the last twelve.
They house the Whizow. Yeah, that's a remix on that
horn Man and Matt.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
The National Championship Game is set. Miami's taking on Indiana
a week from tonight. Loo's your seven and a half
point fame?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Did you see the Elmo video? Michael Irvin.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
The rabbit, that's yeah, and then eventually commits suicide.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Unfortunately. Let's swing a clip that though swinging from the fan.
It's so good, blowing co friend's blowing coke off his face.
Matt the portal closest today. It does three days for
players to find a home, schools to bring in guys.
Speaker 3 (10:24):

was stroked by longtime donor Lawrence Larry Lane.
Speaker 3 (10:49):

nineteen seventies. The football team's gonna get nine point six million,
the men's basketball program seven point seven million. In the
truncket check of Lane's forty million.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
What about the Valley of the Sun. Isn't this truck

Speaker 2 (11:11):
You ain't got no rugby player like Lawrence Larry Lane
stroking checks. I played football with a guy named Lawrence Larry.
That's a hell of a name, Lawrence. I love you, Lawrence,

home of the Southern California sports broadcasters talk show of
the Year, Dodger Talk featuring Night Human Bean David Vassa
tonight at seven pm. Joining us now on your Southern
(13:39):
California Toyoa Dealers Celebrity Hotline. A man that knows what
it's like to pull the trigger and have the trigger
pulled in the crazy world of the NFL.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Chrisy Wall in the NFL, riding the ups and downs,
the hills and gullies on the train track. It is
Tom Telesco, Serious XM now having a good time jumping
up in the media. One day he may jump back
in the fire, for he is a proven winner and
a man that knows what he's doing when it comes
(14:10):
to building a roster. But we have a lot to discuss,
and he's an old friend, the great Tom to Leusco
tortoes with Tom on a Tuesday once again on the
Petrols and Money Show. What's cracking Tom? How are you?
Speaker 4 (14:22):
I love that intro that I've pulled the trigger. I've
also had the trigger pulled on me. That was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Well, you know with strikes and gunns, you know, some
day you eat the bear and some day the bear
eats you. And speaking of that, so they say, yeah,
everybody says.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
That some day you have bear for dinner, some days
the bear has you for dinner.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Tell us Tom, how surprised were you by the Chargers
performance out in New England? Some people that I know
thought they matched up pretty well.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Turns out, oh, I was really surprised, and and obviously
they were. Through this whole year on offense, they've had
to deal with a lot of adversity. Like everybody knows.
You know that they lost both their starting tackles, but
they just weren't starting tackles. They're all pro football type tackles. Now,
what I probably missed you know, I think having Omary
(15:15):
and Hampton out with injury, I think that affected him
a lot more than people talked about.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
He's a big part of.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
How they run that offense. But I went to the
point how Justin just didn't play well, and you know
it happens from time to time, doesn't have very often
with him. But looking at that game, I didn't think
Drake May played great either. I mean, Drake May took
five sacks at interception, he put two balls in the ground,
but he made a big throw to Hunter Henry, and
(15:42):
he just consistently took checkdowns. And there's a big difference
when May was checking it down to Remindre Stevenson and
Treviaon Henderson versus Justin checking it down to Tyger Fisk.
So just what they weren't going the same type of
easy throws, the same type of chunkyards on an easy throw.
So but I was a probably the defense played very
well like the head all year and offensively, it just
(16:04):
wasn't their day and it was it was hard to watch,
but that's the nature of the playoffs. So these games
they get bigger and bigger as you move, as you
move through and you know, whatever your weakness is it
tends to get magnified in the playoffs, and that's kind
of what happened to the Chargers.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
How hard is it tom to try to figure out
the answers to those questions in game? You know, you
go into the half, it's six to three, and it
felt like the Patriots figured it out right. They kind of,
you know, got some easy buttons for Drake May, they
found some explosives, and it felt like the Chargers were
kind of trying to do the same things they were
doing in the first half. Is it just too hard
(16:39):
to get out of what you thought you were going
to be able to do if you're not able to
or what goes into trying to overcome some of those obstacles.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
No, I mean typically even before you get into the game,
you have your game plan, but you also have some
different plans D, B, C and D depending on what
your opponent's going to do. And then once you're in game,
you know halftime that you guys know halftimes are short.
I mean it's a twelve minute halftime, and you know
a couple of things are just getting to the locker
room and getting back out again. So a lot of
(17:08):
the adjustments will happen in between series. I mean they
have they have the still photos or the video on
the sideline on the iPads, and they can make adjustments
in real time. But also the defense of making adjustments
the same time. So it's a it's a cat and
mouse game throughout the whole game, and it just seemed
like that the Chargers they just couldn't get in front
of it. And look, you know Greg, Greg Roman and
(17:31):
you full disclosure, he was a college teammate of mine
will we both started with the Carolina Panthers the same
year in nineteen ninety five. And his work ethic, attention
to detail is outstanding, it really is. I really I
gave a lot of credit for what he was able
to do this year with some of the issues that
had on offense. Justin had a tremendous year until the
last game. But such as life in the NFL, they
(17:53):
the emotions of the past game, you know, kind of
crop up and you move on.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So you know, with that, as you know, kind of
a pretext for this question what do you make of what?
And he's a guy that you know, he was on
your team. Robert Splane what he said after the game that.
I don't know if you saw it, but he said
he was talking to some Charger players after and they
said they didn't know what the heck they were looking at,
that they couldn't figure the coverages out. Is that something
(18:17):
that sounds right to you? And if that's the case,
kind of what would go into that happening in a
game of that magnitude.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Honestly, it kind of seems like your typical postgame banter
that you know may have been taken a little bit
out of context.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
I haven't been able to see the coaches copy yet
the All twenty two, so you know, on TV it's
hard to see the routes develop and see where if
there was separation, if there were players coming open. I
just know from their offense, I mean, running back to
average less than three ars per carry, and and for
what with the Charges have done this year and how
they run their offense, it's hard to get moving when
(18:55):
when you can't get anything going in the run game.
There were some clean pockets in the first half, but
you know, Justin is normally decisive, but it just didn't
seem like you had anywhere to get with the ball.
And then the second half, it just seemed like the
Patriots who didn't really I didn't think pressure well in
the first half of the second half. They kind of
saw blooding the water and they brought it from everywhere,
and maybe they brought some plittes that the charger had
(19:17):
not seen before at their opportune time, and you saw
the result.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
The one and only Tom to leasco is our guest.
You were in Las Vegas, you had a great draft
in twenty twenty four, they've turned it over again at
head coach. What do they need? Do they need a
young guy? Did they need like an old angry guy
like Kubiak? Do they need like one of these offensive
guys that looks really quoft? You know, like, what what
(19:47):
do you think?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I like the hair?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I'm at Lafleur, Yeah, Lafloor, you know, yeah, quaft, offensive guy.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
They just need some stability, that's the biggest thing. I
thought that's what Peeka was going to bring them last year.
But as you guys could see, like it just didn't
click this year, and I could see you hate to
keep making these moves.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
The one and done so you don't want to see that.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
But I think everyone can see it. Just didn't click
this year. So at this point, but they have the
first pick in the draft, they're going to take a quarterback,
so they're finally going to have a quarterback to build around,
which they haven't had really since Derek Carr. So they
have that piece and now it's just about getting some
stability at the top from the head coach. And it
doesn't matter if it's offense, defense or special teams to me,
(20:30):
because there are some really good resources there both stadium wise,
practice facility, incredible fan base, mean worldwide fan base, and
there's a lot of good people in the building. I
mean I know it firsthand because you're only as good
as the people you work with. So there's support staffs
with training and video and communications and equipment scouting. They're excellent.
Just have to find that stability at the top, and
(20:53):
I think they'll go through the I bet they'll be
much more in the same page this year they kind
of went through last year. I've been a first time GM.
Sometimes things are moving real fast and you feel like
you have to get a head coach hired as quickly
as possible because you need to get all the assistants hired,
and you feel like the seats are gonna fill. But
if you take your time, go through your process what
they're doing right now, you get the right person the
(21:14):
top and hopefully just have the stability there.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
So you've you know, you know what it looks like
at the top of the draft when it's a quarterback
draft and it's Joe Burrow and Tua and Justin Herbert
or you know, some years it's Christian Ponder and you know,
what do you make of this year they have the
number one pick. I know you haven't probably had a
chance to dig too deep into Fernando Mendoz or Dante
more if he decides to come out, But what do
(21:38):
you make of their options at that position? And what
kind of quarterback draft we have coming up here in
a couple months.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Yeah, I mean it's light. I mean you basically mentioned
the two guys would be the top for me. You know,
Ty Simpson I think has some potential. I wouldn't see
him up there with those two guys yet, But yeah,
I mean the quarterback position, if you need a quarterback,
that's why they get pushed up in the draft because
if you don't draft one, very rarely is the starter
(22:06):
come out and fregency that is a winning starter that
you can actually acquire, so you're an a half to draft them,
So yes, they do get a little bit pushed up.
I think Mendoza is definitely an NFL starter. I mean,
as everyone saw, he looked great the other night, made
some just big time accuracy pinpoint throws and has all
the intelligibles you're looking for. And I think Dante Moore
(22:28):
is really talented. But you also saw the difference between
Mendoza being a three year starter essentially and Dante Moore
being a one year starter and being nineteen years old,
and he has an incredible skill, but you see that
you may need a little bit more time to develop.
So we'll see if he stays in school, if he
declares for the draft. But those guys are really, you know,
(22:49):
at the top of the draft, and then it's very
thin after that, so and there's gonna be more teams
that need quarterbacks, and they are actually quarterbacks available, so
after the first pick, you know the who the next
quarterback is. I would expect a lot of activity for
teams to try and trade up and get somebody more.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Aging like the Cheese and the Cheese It commercials for
Dante More. Our friend Tom tellasco joins us. You know,
the NFL as old, Jerry Glanville said, stood for not
for long, but for some guys, they're in the same
spot for a long time. You knew something about longevity
with the Chargers, Mike Tomlin Jim John Harbaugh, of course
(23:26):
now both available. Tomlin stepped down to after nineteen years.
Harball was in Baltimore for eighteen. How hard is it
for that guy to get a job somewhere else after
he's known something so stable for so long in a
league that's really not that way, No, not at all.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
I mean really, for both of them, it's an end
of an era, and not just for Pittsburgh and for Baltimore,
but just for head coaching in general, because I don't
think we're going to ever see another head coach spend,
you know, nineteen eighteen straight years with the same team.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
As good as Sean McVay is.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
You know, at some point, you know you kind of
need a reset or recharge. The coaching is, I mean,
it's a high pressurized business. Even when you're winning at
a consistent level. You know, mc va could coach forever,
but the stay in nineteen years with one team the
way Tomlin did, I just think it's really hard to
do it. I don't think we're gonna see that ever again.
So but with those two guys went all the great
(24:22):
coaches with uh puting Andy Reid and McVeigh, Tomlin Harbaugh.
Like their teams, they always had an identity, and that's
the number one thing you have to establish. So we've
got two big time jobs open. You know, Pittsburgh obviously
that job doesn't come open very often. I'm kind of
curious what route they go. You know, Mike McCarthy is
mister Pittsburgh. I'd be really interesting guy there. And but
(24:45):
you know, even though they haven't done a lot of
head coach searches, they typically hire young assistants from other teams,
like I mean essentially just Chuck no, Bill Kawer and
Mike Tomlin. So all three of those guys were coordinators
and a younger coaches when they were with their prior teams.
So we'll see which direct they go. But having nine
spots right now in the NFL, it's just incredible to
(25:07):
have this many opening head coaching jobs available. Or see
what these play out.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Last thing for you, Tom, the Rams, they faced down
potential real ugly exit from the postseason, being a double
digit favorite and maybe losing to Carolina. Matthew Stafford Rallies
gets the win in your experience, like how I don't
want to say valuable, but is there something to that
when in an early round you're able to kind of
(25:31):
overcome what looks to be an obstacle that really could
have crushed what looks to be a promising path for
them to get back to the super Bowl. And when
you look at who's left, kind of what do you
make of who's in front of them?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
I totally saw that against Carolina. I mean that it
was a great environment in Carolina. It hadn't been in the
playoffs in a long time.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
The stadium was loud.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Carolina really has done a lot with a little there.
Really impressed with Dave Canals and what he's done with
the Panthers. But just way you said, I really felt
like the Rams, having a veteran head coach, a veteran quarterback,
really well coached defense. They just handled the situation. That
handled it appropriately and it wasn't easy because they still
have that you know, that's special teams concerned. The margins
(26:16):
gets so thin in the playoffs and the farther advance
they get thinner and thinner. So but they overcame it.
And a lot of it's because of the quarterback and
the head coach. But I like their chances this year.
I mean not, you know, even taking Stafford on of it.
I mean, they've got two running backs like a two
headed monster with White with Williams a Korum. I love
how they use Pooka Nakua in the running game, almost
(26:37):
like the Delaware wing t wing back, so they could
use them like that. And then obviously he's getting ten
eleven twelve balls a game, and between Devonte Adams and
then the two tight ends, they have a lot of
different ways to go on offense. And then I love
Chris Shula and what they're doing on defense. So to me,
they're they're they're definitely I have a chance to win
a championship with this team. But yeah, they had to
get through that first game, but I think their experience
(26:59):
really pulled them through.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
The one and only Tom to LESCo, our friend. You

Talk with David Vasse, the Dodger Podcast of record, Clipper
Talk without a Musk, follow us all and many more.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Just go to AM five to seventy LA Sports on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
It's a two and a mono Tuesday tu and Bono.
David Vsse won the talk show of the Year at
the Southern California Sports Broadcasters Award at Lakeside. Like a
human pin hours ago. David Vsse went up there like
a human being that accepted his wart. It's a great
moment in sports history.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
We are on the way, were not on the freeway
of life. Oh stop, and there are many exits.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
We are live until seven. We're almost done.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
And I got off at that exit, and there were
people waiting to show me the way.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Like we still act like the twenty year old people
in the audience, and it's wrongs.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
But that's because no one young has coming behind.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
That's not true.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Carlo was that was it?
Speaker 3 (28:46):
What about Chris Harry, he's a young guy.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Saw him he is, but he was not nominated for anything.
I think he was there to sport as bosson Hill.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I saw it. I saw Jim, he saw brother Jim.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
He's a little longer the time I would say we
were still in the ninetieth percentile of youth. I still believe, well,
we act old as we are, we act like we
sure do.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Dodger Talk coming up with the talk show host of
the Year David Fass and he's going to deliver that
show and relate with people like a human being. And
don't forget to podcast our show on the iHeartRadio app
for your smartphone, because we are your home the back
to back World Series champion Dodgers. But Tim Kates is
(29:29):
not able to ride that freedom train no to get
an award.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Unfortunately, the train did not stop at his station, did
not just drove right straight. Toss had delivered the Award
to a real human being. Yes, all right, Matt, your
beautiful speech from Stephen Nelson thanking Dwayne and Colin and
acknowledging tc. You know that I am incredibly fortunate and lucky.
(29:59):
I believe he called it one hundred and ten percent
luck to be able to call these Dodger game. He
really handled them that absolutely, like a true professional.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
From back to back to back against the wall too,
back to back, like a human being. Why do you
have bed Matt celebrating this guy. We've done it before
and it's well, it's an interesting story. Horatio Alger from Chelsea,
mass Matt, you were just in Massachusetts. A forgettable trip
(30:30):
for you to New England.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I'll tell you that was except the civil disobedience at
the State House on Sunday morning. You know that made
it worth it.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Close to the New England Puritan aristocracy. One hundred and
ninety three years old today, coming up in the nineteenth century,
Horatio Alger was a descendant of minute men and a
guy at the Constitutional Convention. It's a difficult boy with asthma.
I can relate with that. That's where my relation to
(31:02):
him stops. He went to Harvard thrived started writing, became
a Unitarian pastor just like his father as well, but
he was kicked out for reports that he was getting
too familiar with the young people, the boys. He did
admit that he had been imprudent with the boys, and
(31:22):
his father got involved. His father promised that his son
would never seek a church post ever again, and the
church said, okay, we'll leave him alone. We won't tarn
featherhum or, stone him to death or whatever it is
we do bad thing to pediasses. So he was off
(31:42):
to New York. There he did what Youwett would do.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
If you were a pediaste.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
He studied street boys. Ah yeah, and he wrote the
Rags to Richest masterpiece about a poor boot black and
his rise to middle class responsibility. That book's name Ragged Dick.
Excuse it's not funny.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Next time I go on one of these podcasts that
asks you ask you your favorite books to a ragged.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Dick by Peter Ass Horatio.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Oucher recommend Ragged Dick.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Many many books followed Matt. Most of his works after
that followed the same exact pattern. Honest, hard working boy,
a noble stranger, a snob, and an evil, greedy squire
(32:44):
many titles for you, Matt if you want to play
a little album, I mean, if.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
You already wasted.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Ragged Dick, I told you the same theme in every book,
and this guy wrote so many. But we've done this before,
but I never looked into.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Like maybe they should have let him time to the post.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
His gigantic bibliography is unbelievable. Jed the Poorhouse Boy. I
think this one we can all relate with. The disagreeable woman.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
No, not me, not in my life.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Like a human being. Ad the street boy out West.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
That's the David Basset story. And then I got off
the freeway at another exit.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Tattered Tom, the story of a street Arab luck and pluck.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
He has gone and I have sent him? What misdirection?
The ragged How's the ragged Dick in me?
Speaker 3 (34:04):
He was gay? He died from asthma at his sister's
house in eighteen ninety nine at the age of sixty seven.
His books have come out again in twenty fifteen because
being a better ass. I guess it's as bad as he's.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
A different time. Ragged twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Ragged Ditch Chickup return Up the Day.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Uh, you're a live guy, really just an opportunity to
want to play one of our all time favorite songs.
Happy Birthday to Wayne Michael Coin, one of the Wayne
Coin hit the post. There Oh, one of the most brilliant, creative,
(34:45):
visionary musicians you could ever come across. If you have
not been to a flaming lip show, to yourself the
favor and get to one. It is different, put on
charge of power, no doubt, different than anything you've ever seen.
He is sixty five today, so I don't know how
much longer he's gonna be doing it. The music is incredible,
the show is incomparable. Wayne is freaking cool man born,
(35:09):
real human being. He's a real born in Pittsburgh, raised
in Oklahoma City. Loves his hometown so much that he
bought a house in one of the most rundown areas
of town, then bought another, and another, and another and here.
Thirty years later, he essentially created the Oklahoma City Arts District.
While he was in high school, he worked at Long
(35:31):
John Silvers all right, p Long John Silvers fast food
fish store was robbed.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Like when they had like a moat that you had
to walk over the bridge to get into the store.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
You might die or you might get hushpuppies. Coin was
held at gunpoint. He was told he was going to
be killed if someone didn't open the safe. Nobody dare
knew how to open the safe at Long Johns at
Long John Silvers. Thankfully, the robbers fled, had an epiphany,
decided to chase his dreams, started a band with his brother.
Wayne was on guitar, brother lead vocals. They started Flaming Lips.
(36:03):
Mark left, Wayne took over as frontman. He is their
main songwriter. The name Origin is as good as anything
you've ever heard. It was a reference to a high
school rumor they remembered and they will always remember, about
a classmate getting genital herpes after she had a dude
performing oral exercises down on her while he had active
(36:24):
cold source and Wayne said quote one night over a
pack of Schlitz and some left handed cigarettes. We remembered
and joked how he used to say they both had
Flaming Lips and it just stuck. First release here it
is came out in eighty six, but I know the
two albums independently over the next couple of years. Nineteen ninety,
Warner Brothers had an A and R guy at the
(36:46):
American Legion Hall in Norman, Oklahoma. They almost burned the
place down with their pyrotechnics. They were signed immediately. First
major label released ninety one ninety three transmissions from the
satellite heart Had She Don't Use Jelly? Played it on
K Rock, took off and made their way through the
late night shows. The TV circuit opened for the Red
(37:08):
Hot Chili Peppers, but, of course, being Wayne and the
Flaming Lips, they put out two experimental, ethereal sounding albums
that did not match up to the Kitchie She Don't
Use Jelly. So about a half decade of dormancy after
their big hit until Soft Bullets went away for five
years in ninety nine, Had Do You Realize?
Speaker 1 (37:26):
That?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Might have been the best song of the year, best
album of the year. Very pet soundsey is what it
was being compared to.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
I far in California.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Their show at south By Southwest was the stuff of legend.
I happened to be there. They passed out headphones to
everybody and you watched their concert with headphones on. It
was wild man, but a time to be in love.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Wow. I was somewhere today too. Okay, right, Hey, we're
gonna be talking about that for years as well. We are.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
They won a Grammy for this What Yoshimi. It's about
a freedom train. This song was adapted the Mute. The
album was adapted into a musical. They had put out
six albums since most recent American Head In twenty twenty.
They did their Yoshimi Battles Topink Robots album tour last year,
playing at front to back. He is sixty five, hopefully
(38:17):
still touring. He has two little boys, a five year
old and a three year old. Happy sixty fifth, Wayne
Qui coming up next, Dodg a real human being. He
treats others like human.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Being guaranteed, Human guaranteed. David Vasse coming up next tomorrow
will be on from three to six thirty before the
Clippers take on to win. Clippers are hot Man, thanks

he knew that I loved him. Your final hour.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Fun fact, I was working as a waitress.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
The word broadcasting, oh is from the mid eighteenth century
agricultural community. It is a term that means wide scattering
of seeds. It did not become a term related to
radio until the twentieth century, when the first radio broadcasts
were created. Like with broadcast sewing, radio broadcasting also involves
(05:06):
a large scattering of radio waves, songs, and entertainment, hence
applying that farming agricultural term to the world of radio.
I didn't see Sam Boney there. He was banging the
drum slowly, banging the drums lowly.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
It's time for quick hits. F you kates quick hits.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
The Chargers have parted ways with Greg Roman. Matt's lament
was last hour. I thought I better get f and
fired Man.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Roman was hired by Harbaugh when he arrived in LA
I had of the twenty twenty fourth season.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Remember they had the dual RVs down in Huntington Beach,
one right next to each other and.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Now he blew up the other guy's RV also worked.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
That's how he informed that he was you know, my
RV was right here?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Have we blown up an RV down there by the water?
Harball'sc with the Niners from twenty eleven to twenty fourteen.
So Roman is the only OC Harbaugh has worked with
in the NFL. Longtime partnership has come to an end,
and Jim will now have to search for his replacement.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I could see Mike McDaniel. I feel like him and
coach Harve's are a little tiny guy. Yeah, very similar
in the way they approach football. I just it's almost
like looking in a mirror, you know when you see
those guys, little guy with the capri pants and the.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Drug dealer thing. Oh not the guy that was a Denver.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
No, the head coach of Miami.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
That guy.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
That guy.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah, I know, I don't see what uh. For the
fourth time since nineteen sixty nine, the Steelers got to
look for a new coach and Chuck Knowle is not available.
Long time go do you know? Mike Tomlin has agreed
to step down hi his post in Pittsburgh, signaling an
end of a nineteen year run in the Iron City
(07:07):
as the longest tenured coach in the league. Some have
gotten a hold of Dave Damashack Shipwrecked the Big Show.
They are talking, oh shipwreck and Damasheta. It's the same guy.
The Rams are getting ready for their divisional round matchup
against the Bears on Sunday. Yeah there is that's in Chicago.
The Rams are a three and a half point road favorite.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Hey, they were four and a half points now, there's
some money coming in on the Bears. It's top three
and a half.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Kl have been the Bears, Matt. The Lakers are in
a tailspin. Tell you hate to see it. I think
the Lakers can win it.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Congratulations to Steve Hartman and duck it into the Southern
California Sports Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Next year, when they
print the program on pink colored construction paper, the pixelated
image of him next to Mason and Ireland will look
even better than did this year. You know, no wonder
(08:03):
we'd never you invite us, you call us, you hound us,
and you ask us to come. This is what you
get this Lucas hurt.
Speaker 3 (08:15):

he said he abrogated, aggravated something in his thigh or
groin areas aggravated, the aggregation between the thigh and the bruin.
The Lakers are back at it tonight. They host the
Atlanta Hawks.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
No rest for the weary.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
The Hawks come screeching in six and oh on the
West Coast this year, and they're tired of the lies
the Lakers. Lebron's bringing them down.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Lebron's bringing them down. The vandalorian is bringing them down.
Why do you call him that?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
It's all because of Lebron. This team was fine before
Lebron showed up, and then everybody got ruined. And then
the stupid podcast started with Rich Paul and he started
planting the various seeds about guys that people love, like
Austin Reeves. Oh yeah, that's bad.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well, guess what game Lebron's gonna have a patch on
his uniform, a patch that's a Lebron patch. I'm wearing
a patch every single game for the remainder of the season.
Adam to honor me. Excuse me, yeah me, It's gonna
honor me. And then that patch is gonna come off
and I'm gonna send it to a trading card company,
(09:20):
and they're gonna put it in a pack. And when
you break packs or crack packs or whatever they call it,
someone's gonna get lucky and they're gonna get my patch.
And that's what I'm doing for the remainder of the
season is I have sabotaged. I'm a saboteur. Insufferable. The
Clippers are sixteen and twenty three. They're red hot though.
Oh you saw Carlo today, Oh the bounce in his step.
(09:40):
Glasses are all fogged up, see the bounce in his steps.
They've won three in a row, ten in the last twelve.

Well, you know with strikes and gunns, you know, some
day you eat the bear and some day the bear
eats you. And speaking of that, so they say, yeah,
everybody says.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
That some day you have bear for dinner, some days
the bear has you for dinner.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Tell us Tom, how surprised were you by the Chargers
performance out in New England? Some people that I know
thought they matched up pretty well.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Turns out, oh, I was really surprised, and and obviously
they were. Through this whole year on offense, they've had
to deal with a lot of adversity. Like everybody knows.
You know that they lost both their starting tackles, but
they just weren't starting tackles. They're all pro football type tackles. Now,
what I probably missed you know, I think having Omary
(15:15):
and Hampton out with injury, I think that affected him
a lot more than people talked about.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
He's a big part of.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
How they run that offense. But I went to the
point how Justin just didn't play well, and you know
it happens from time to time, doesn't have very often
with him. But looking at that game, I didn't think
Drake May played great either. I mean, Drake May took
five sacks at interception, he put two balls in the ground,
but he made a big throw to Hunter Henry, and
(15:42):
he just consistently took checkdowns. And there's a big difference
when May was checking it down to Remindre Stevenson and
Treviaon Henderson versus Justin checking it down to Tyger Fisk.
So just what they weren't going the same type of
easy throws, the same type of chunkyards on an easy throw.
So but I was a probably the defense played very
well like the head all year and offensively, it just
(16:04):
wasn't their day and it was it was hard to watch,
but that's the nature of the playoffs. So these games
they get bigger and bigger as you move, as you
move through and you know, whatever your weakness is it
tends to get magnified in the playoffs, and that's kind
of what happened to the Chargers.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
How hard is it tom to try to figure out
the answers to those questions in game? You know, you
go into the half, it's six to three, and it
felt like the Patriots figured it out right. They kind of,
you know, got some easy buttons for Drake May, they
found some explosives, and it felt like the Chargers were
kind of trying to do the same things they were
doing in the first half. Is it just too hard
(16:39):
to get out of what you thought you were going
to be able to do if you're not able to
or what goes into trying to overcome some of those obstacles.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
No, I mean typically even before you get into the game,
you have your game plan, but you also have some
different plans D, B, C and D depending on what
your opponent's going to do. And then once you're in game,
you know halftime that you guys know halftimes are short.
I mean it's a twelve minute halftime, and you know
a couple of things are just getting to the locker
room and getting back out again. So a lot of
(17:08):
the adjustments will happen in between series. I mean they
have they have the still photos or the video on
the sideline on the iPads, and they can make adjustments
in real time. But also the defense of making adjustments
the same time. So it's a it's a cat and
mouse game throughout the whole game, and it just seemed
like that the Chargers they just couldn't get in front
of it. And look, you know Greg, Greg Roman and
(17:31):
you full disclosure, he was a college teammate of mine
will we both started with the Carolina Panthers the same
year in nineteen ninety five. And his work ethic, attention
to detail is outstanding, it really is. I really I
gave a lot of credit for what he was able
to do this year with some of the issues that
had on offense. Justin had a tremendous year until the
last game. But such as life in the NFL, they
(17:53):
the emotions of the past game, you know, kind of
crop up and you move on.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So you know, with that, as you know, kind of
a pretext for this question what do you make of what?
And he's a guy that you know, he was on
your team. Robert Splane what he said after the game that.
I don't know if you saw it, but he said
he was talking to some Charger players after and they
said they didn't know what the heck they were looking at,
that they couldn't figure the coverages out. Is that something
(18:17):
that sounds right to you? And if that's the case,
kind of what would go into that happening in a
game of that magnitude.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Honestly, it kind of seems like your typical postgame banter
that you know may have been taken a little bit
out of context.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
I haven't been able to see the coaches copy yet
the All twenty two, so you know, on TV it's
hard to see the routes develop and see where if
there was separation, if there were players coming open. I
just know from their offense, I mean, running back to
average less than three ars per carry, and and for
what with the Charges have done this year and how
they run their offense, it's hard to get moving when
(18:55):
when you can't get anything going in the run game.
There were some clean pockets in the first half, but
you know, Justin is normally decisive, but it just didn't
seem like you had anywhere to get with the ball.
And then the second half, it just seemed like the
Patriots who didn't really I didn't think pressure well in
the first half of the second half. They kind of
saw blooding the water and they brought it from everywhere,
and maybe they brought some plittes that the charger had
(19:17):
not seen before at their opportune time, and you saw
the result.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
The one and only Tom to leasco is our guest.
You were in Las Vegas, you had a great draft
in twenty twenty four, they've turned it over again at
head coach. What do they need? Do they need a
young guy? Did they need like an old angry guy
like Kubiak? Do they need like one of these offensive
guys that looks really quoft? You know, like, what what
(19:47):
do you think?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I like the hair?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I'm at Lafleur, Yeah, Lafloor, you know, yeah, quaft, offensive guy.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
They just need some stability, that's the biggest thing. I
thought that's what Peeka was going to bring them last year.
But as you guys could see, like it just didn't
click this year, and I could see you hate to
keep making these moves.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
The one and done so you don't want to see that.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
But I think everyone can see it. Just didn't click
this year. So at this point, but they have the
first pick in the draft, they're going to take a quarterback,
so they're finally going to have a quarterback to build around,
which they haven't had really since Derek Carr. So they
have that piece and now it's just about getting some
stability at the top from the head coach. And it
doesn't matter if it's offense, defense or special teams to me,
(20:30):
because there are some really good resources there both stadium wise,
practice facility, incredible fan base, mean worldwide fan base, and
there's a lot of good people in the building. I
mean I know it firsthand because you're only as good
as the people you work with. So there's support staffs
with training and video and communications and equipment scouting. They're excellent.
Just have to find that stability at the top, and
(20:53):
I think they'll go through the I bet they'll be
much more in the same page this year they kind
of went through last year. I've been a first time GM.
Sometimes things are moving real fast and you feel like
you have to get a head coach hired as quickly
as possible because you need to get all the assistants hired,
and you feel like the seats are gonna fill. But
if you take your time, go through your process what
they're doing right now, you get the right person the
(21:14):
top and hopefully just have the stability there.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
So you've you know, you know what it looks like
at the top of the draft when it's a quarterback
draft and it's Joe Burrow and Tua and Justin Herbert
or you know, some years it's Christian Ponder and you know,
what do you make of this year they have the
number one pick. I know you haven't probably had a
chance to dig too deep into Fernando Mendoz or Dante
more if he decides to come out, But what do
(21:38):
you make of their options at that position? And what
kind of quarterback draft we have coming up here in
a couple months.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Yeah, I mean it's light. I mean you basically mentioned
the two guys would be the top for me. You know,
Ty Simpson I think has some potential. I wouldn't see
him up there with those two guys yet, But yeah,
I mean the quarterback position, if you need a quarterback,
that's why they get pushed up in the draft because
if you don't draft one, very rarely is the starter
(22:06):
come out and fregency that is a winning starter that
you can actually acquire, so you're an a half to draft them,
So yes, they do get a little bit pushed up.
I think Mendoza is definitely an NFL starter. I mean,
as everyone saw, he looked great the other night, made
some just big time accuracy pinpoint throws and has all
the intelligibles you're looking for. And I think Dante Moore
(22:28):
is really talented. But you also saw the difference between
Mendoza being a three year starter essentially and Dante Moore
being a one year starter and being nineteen years old,
and he has an incredible skill, but you see that
you may need a little bit more time to develop.
So we'll see if he stays in school, if he
declares for the draft. But those guys are really, you know,
(22:49):
at the top of the draft, and then it's very
thin after that, so and there's gonna be more teams
that need quarterbacks, and they are actually quarterbacks available, so
after the first pick, you know the who the next
quarterback is. I would expect a lot of activity for
teams to try and trade up and get somebody more.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Aging like the Cheese and the Cheese It commercials for
Dante More. Our friend Tom tellasco joins us. You know,
the NFL as old, Jerry Glanville said, stood for not
for long, but for some guys, they're in the same
spot for a long time. You knew something about longevity
with the Chargers, Mike Tomlin Jim John Harbaugh, of course
(23:26):
now both available. Tomlin stepped down to after nineteen years.
Harball was in Baltimore for eighteen. How hard is it
for that guy to get a job somewhere else after
he's known something so stable for so long in a
league that's really not that way, No, not at all.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
I mean really, for both of them, it's an end
of an era, and not just for Pittsburgh and for Baltimore,
but just for head coaching in general, because I don't
think we're going to ever see another head coach spend,
you know, nineteen eighteen straight years with the same team.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
As good as Sean McVay is.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
You know, at some point, you know you kind of
need a reset or recharge. The coaching is, I mean,
it's a high pressurized business. Even when you're winning at
a consistent level. You know, mc va could coach forever,
but the stay in nineteen years with one team the
way Tomlin did, I just think it's really hard to
do it. I don't think we're gonna see that ever again.
So but with those two guys went all the great
(24:22):
coaches with uh puting Andy Reid and McVeigh, Tomlin Harbaugh.
Like their teams, they always had an identity, and that's
the number one thing you have to establish. So we've
got two big time jobs open. You know, Pittsburgh obviously
that job doesn't come open very often. I'm kind of
curious what route they go. You know, Mike McCarthy is
mister Pittsburgh. I'd be really interesting guy there. And but
(24:45):
you know, even though they haven't done a lot of
head coach searches, they typically hire young assistants from other teams,
like I mean essentially just Chuck no, Bill Kawer and
Mike Tomlin. So all three of those guys were coordinators
and a younger coaches when they were with their prior teams.
So we'll see which direct they go. But having nine
spots right now in the NFL, it's just incredible to
(25:07):
have this many opening head coaching jobs available. Or see
what these play out.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Last thing for you, Tom, the Rams, they faced down
potential real ugly exit from the postseason, being a double
digit favorite and maybe losing to Carolina. Matthew Stafford Rallies
gets the win in your experience, like how I don't
want to say valuable, but is there something to that
when in an early round you're able to kind of
(25:31):
overcome what looks to be an obstacle that really could
have crushed what looks to be a promising path for
them to get back to the super Bowl. And when
you look at who's left, kind of what do you
make of who's in front of them?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
I totally saw that against Carolina. I mean that it
was a great environment in Carolina. It hadn't been in the
playoffs in a long time.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
The stadium was loud.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Carolina really has done a lot with a little there.
Really impressed with Dave Canals and what he's done with
the Panthers. But just way you said, I really felt
like the Rams, having a veteran head coach, a veteran quarterback,
really well coached defense. They just handled the situation. That
handled it appropriately and it wasn't easy because they still
have that you know, that's special teams concerned. The margins
(26:16):
gets so thin in the playoffs and the farther advance
they get thinner and thinner. So but they overcame it.
And a lot of it's because of the quarterback and
the head coach. But I like their chances this year.
I mean not, you know, even taking Stafford on of it.
I mean, they've got two running backs like a two
headed monster with White with Williams a Korum. I love
how they use Pooka Nakua in the running game, almost
(26:37):
like the Delaware wing t wing back, so they could
use them like that. And then obviously he's getting ten
eleven twelve balls a game, and between Devonte Adams and
then the two tight ends, they have a lot of
different ways to go on offense. And then I love
Chris Shula and what they're doing on defense. So to me,
they're they're they're definitely I have a chance to win
a championship with this team. But yeah, they had to
get through that first game, but I think their experience
(26:59):
really pulled them through.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
The one and only Tom to LESCo, our friend. You
can listen to them on Serious XM NFL Radio for
the NFL is this area of expertise. That and of
course Corona del mar C Kings Football. We appreciate your

Speaker 4 (27:18):
Night anytime, guys, Let's talk soon.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Thank you, Yes, sir, we will be right back with
mar petros and money. We've got some text usos coming
up there. Well wrap it up before Dodger Talk talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:31):

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Hello, PMS listener.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Did you know Am five seventy LA Sports has a
wide range of LA Sports podcasts.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
There's Rogan and Rodney. That one is my favorite, Dodger
Talk with David Vasse, the Dodger Podcast of record, Clipper
Talk without a Musk, follow us all and many more.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Just go to AM five to seventy LA Sports on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
It's a two and a mono Tuesday tu and Bono.
David Vsse won the talk show of the Year at
the Southern California Sports Broadcasters Award at Lakeside. Like a
human pin hours ago. David Vsse went up there like
a human being that accepted his wart. It's a great
moment in sports history.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
We are on the way, were not on the freeway
of life. Oh stop, and there are many exits.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
We are live until seven. We're almost done.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
And I got off at that exit, and there were
people waiting to show me the way.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Like we still act like the twenty year old people
in the audience, and it's wrongs.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
But that's because no one young has coming behind.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
That's not true.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Carlo was that was it?
Speaker 3 (28:46):
What about Chris Harry, he's a young guy.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Saw him he is, but he was not nominated for anything.
I think he was there to sport as bosson Hill.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I saw it. I saw Jim, he saw brother Jim.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
He's a little longer the time I would say we
were still in the ninetieth percentile of youth. I still believe, well,
we act old as we are, we act like we
sure do.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Dodger Talk coming up with the talk show host of

show and relate with people like a human being. And
don't forget to podcast our show on the iHeartRadio app
for your smartphone, because we are your home the back
to back World Series champion Dodgers. But Tim Kates is
(29:29):
not able to ride that freedom train no to get
an award.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Unfortunately, the train did not stop at his station, did
not just drove right straight. Toss had delivered the Award
to a real human being. Yes, all right, Matt, your
beautiful speech from Stephen Nelson thanking Dwayne and Colin and
acknowledging tc. You know that I am incredibly fortunate and lucky.
(29:59):
I believe he called it one hundred and ten percent
luck to be able to call these Dodger game. He
really handled them that absolutely, like a true professional.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
From back to back to back against the wall too,
back to back, like a human being. Why do you
have bed Matt celebrating this guy. We've done it before
and it's well, it's an interesting story. Horatio Alger from Chelsea,
mass Matt, you were just in Massachusetts. A forgettable trip
(30:30):
for you to New England.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I'll tell you that was except the civil disobedience at
the State House on Sunday morning. You know that made
it worth it.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Close to the New England Puritan aristocracy. One hundred and
ninety three years old today, coming up in the nineteenth century,
Horatio Alger was a descendant of minute men and a
guy at the Constitutional Convention. It's a difficult boy with asthma.
I can relate with that. That's where my relation to
(31:02):
him stops. He went to Harvard thrived started writing, became
a Unitarian pastor just like his father as well, but
he was kicked out for reports that he was getting
too familiar with the young people, the boys. He did
admit that he had been imprudent with the boys, and
(31:22):
his father got involved. His father promised that his son
would never seek a church post ever again, and the
church said, okay, we'll leave him alone. We won't tarn
featherhum or, stone him to death or whatever it is
we do bad thing to pediasses. So he was off
(31:42):
to New York. There he did what Youwett would do.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
If you were a pediaste.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
He studied street boys. Ah yeah, and he wrote the
Rags to Richest masterpiece about a poor boot black and
his rise to middle class responsibility. That book's name Ragged Dick.
Excuse it's not funny.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Next time I go on one of these podcasts that
asks you ask you your favorite books to a ragged.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Dick by Peter Ass Horatio.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Oucher recommend Ragged Dick.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Many many books followed Matt. Most of his works after
that followed the same exact pattern. Honest, hard working boy,
a noble stranger, a snob, and an evil, greedy squire
(32:44):
many titles for you, Matt if you want to play
a little album, I mean, if.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
You already wasted.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Ragged Dick, I told you the same theme in every book,
and this guy wrote so many. But we've done this before,
but I never looked into.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Like maybe they should have let him time to the post.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
His gigantic bibliography is unbelievable. Jed the Poorhouse Boy. I
think this one we can all relate with. The disagreeable woman.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
No, not me, not in my life.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Like a human being. Ad the street boy out West.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
That's the David Basset story. And then I got off
the freeway at another exit.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Tattered Tom, the story of a street Arab luck and pluck.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
He has gone and I have sent him? What misdirection?
The ragged How's the ragged Dick in me?
Speaker 3 (34:04):
He was gay? He died from asthma at his sister's
house in eighteen ninety nine at the age of sixty seven.
His books have come out again in twenty fifteen because
being a better ass. I guess it's as bad as he's.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
A different time. Ragged twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Ragged Ditch Chickup return Up the Day.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Uh, you're a live guy, really just an opportunity to
want to play one of our all time favorite songs.
Happy Birthday to Wayne Michael Coin, one of the Wayne
Coin hit the post. There Oh, one of the most brilliant, creative,
(34:45):
visionary musicians you could ever come across. If you have
not been to a flaming lip show, to yourself the
favor and get to one. It is different, put on
charge of power, no doubt, different than anything you've ever seen.
He is sixty five today, so I don't know how
much longer he's gonna be doing it. The music is incredible,
the show is incomparable. Wayne is freaking cool man born,
(35:09):
real human being. He's a real born in Pittsburgh, raised
in Oklahoma City. Loves his hometown so much that he
bought a house in one of the most rundown areas
of town, then bought another, and another, and another and here.
Thirty years later, he essentially created the Oklahoma City Arts District.
While he was in high school, he worked at Long
(35:31):
John Silvers all right, p Long John Silvers fast food
fish store was robbed.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Like when they had like a moat that you had
to walk over the bridge to get into the store.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
You might die or you might get hushpuppies. Coin was
held at gunpoint. He was told he was going to
be killed if someone didn't open the safe. Nobody dare
knew how to open the safe at Long Johns at
Long John Silvers. Thankfully, the robbers fled, had an epiphany,
decided to chase his dreams, started a band with his brother.
Wayne was on guitar, brother lead vocals. They started Flaming Lips.
(36:03):
Mark left, Wayne took over as frontman. He is their
main songwriter. The name Origin is as good as anything
you've ever heard. It was a reference to a high
school rumor they remembered and they will always remember, about
a classmate getting genital herpes after she had a dude
performing oral exercises down on her while he had active
(36:24):
cold source and Wayne said quote one night over a
pack of Schlitz and some left handed cigarettes. We remembered
and joked how he used to say they both had
Flaming Lips and it just stuck. First release here it
is came out in eighty six, but I know the
two albums independently over the next couple of years. Nineteen ninety,
Warner Brothers had an A and R guy at the
(36:46):
American Legion Hall in Norman, Oklahoma. They almost burned the
place down with their pyrotechnics. They were signed immediately. First
major label released ninety one ninety three transmissions from the
satellite heart Had She Don't Use Jelly? Played it on
K Rock, took off and made their way through the
late night shows. The TV circuit opened for the Red
(37:08):
Hot Chili Peppers, but, of course, being Wayne and the
Flaming Lips, they put out two experimental, ethereal sounding albums
that did not match up to the Kitchie She Don't
Use Jelly. So about a half decade of dormancy after
their big hit until Soft Bullets went away for five
years in ninety nine, Had Do You Realize?
Speaker 1 (37:26):
That?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Might have been the best song of the year, best
album of the year. Very pet soundsey is what it
was being compared to.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
I far in California.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Their show at south By Southwest was the stuff of legend.
I happened to be there. They passed out headphones to
everybody and you watched their concert with headphones on. It
was wild man, but a time to be in love.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Wow. I was somewhere today too. Okay, right, Hey, we're
gonna be talking about that for years as well. We are.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
They won a Grammy for this What Yoshimi. It's about
a freedom train. This song was adapted the Mute. The
album was adapted into a musical. They had put out
six albums since most recent American Head In twenty twenty.
They did their Yoshimi Battles Topink Robots album tour last year,
playing at front to back. He is sixty five, hopefully
(38:17):
still touring. He has two little boys, a five year
old and a three year old. Happy sixty fifth, Wayne
Qui coming up next, Dodg a real human being. He
treats others like human.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Being guaranteed, Human guaranteed. David Vasse coming up next tomorrow
will be on from three to six thirty before the
Clippers take on to win. Clippers are hot Man, thanks
for listening.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Earlier Man at a bounce in his stuff.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
You look great.
