Speaker 2 (01:29):
They say the same thing about sports talk radio.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
That's right.

It's a fact. Sports talk radio host has more influence
over people. We're in your car, bring yeah right in
your face. Come on, set the tone for you to
walk into that house feeling good about you, breathing like
a panther right in your face before you go into

Speaker 4 (01:44):
World Baseball Classic again, depending on how you want to
pronounce it, Uh, Chessia, Checkia, the former Czech Republic, the
former Czechoslovakia, the Czechs. They like to be known as
Chechia now as opposed to ce Czech Republic, not Chechnya.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
That's a different place.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
I guess Chesna is the way they say it in
their native language, but it's very confusing. Chessnut chess, chess chesna.
A couple fun facts about check ya, they're not winning.
The word robot was born in check Ya. Check Writer
Carl Kappik, in his nineteen twenty play ru Are, saw

(02:27):
the first use of the word robot, and you would
fit right in there.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
Pee.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Because Chechia is the most well read country on Earth.
The average Czech citizen reads thirteen books per year.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I did know that about Prague. They'd like to read
very literate society.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Check ya there it is, check check ya.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
What about chesna?

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Check ya? That's the they say. The English like to
pronounce it check ya, but the locals call it get no.
Check here, check here.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Keddy, Chesney live and Chestna okay. Quick hits to the ms.
Quick hitch, Come make it quick, y'all. Yeah, Dodgers of
the spring training game today and goodyear versus the Guardians.
Rokie Sasaki couldn't get an out in the first inning.

(03:26):
He walked three and he gave up a grand slam.
He threw two pitches before Dave Roberts pulled him. Sasaki
would come back out and pitch a second innings and
was great putting up zeros.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
You know, spring training, when a guy sucks in the
first inning, you.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Can pull him and then he goes back.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
You can pull him out and let him restart the
second In fresh well, that's kind of cool. It happens
all the time during the regular season. You know, you
get lit up in the first inning, four runs, grand slam.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Won't take a breather. Yeah, let's let's reset. Okay, maybe
have some of the the gum that's there on that
big tub.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Hey, Rochi, you did great? What time did you get here?
Right at the second ending? Why no reason happened? I
got my booms ripped off and they pulled me out
of the game. Now is that kind of went back in?
Does that count as two starts? Like, Hey, in his
last start he got really roughed up, But this, this
most recent start, he really locked it up. Like for

(04:19):
everybody else, it counts as one game, but the second
inning for him in the second start is really the first.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Exactly right, he was really good in his last start.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I feel like that would really upset a lot of
stat guys if people worried about this stuff, if they
didn't just end the game and a tie and stuff.

Speaker 6 (04:34):
What think of it? This way back in the eighties,
we used to say, psych, he goes out there, gives
him four runs? Psach kinda come back out?

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Does the hand thing on his hand goes over their dugout?
Does the psych chumps back to the mouth, clear the
decks the reset button of baseball.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
What do you think, Roki, you want to go back
out there?

Speaker 2 (04:56):
What the hell do you think.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
It's climb back on that horse. Here's Dave Roberts after
the game.

Speaker 7 (05:03):
You know, I just think he was just missing off
the plate armside, you know, got behind a little bit.
You know, I think menzar to hit the Grand Slam.
There's a walk in there. But you know, for me,
I think the takeaway, curiously is the way he bounced back.
You know, it was a long ending. We had to
take him out of that first inning, had to chat
with Mark Pryor. Came back and then was able to

(05:25):
strike the split, work ahead, fastball, played up, you know,
and then that third inning was just as good. So
really good stuff.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Other Dodger news, Tommy Edmond is progressing and his recovery
from ankle surgery and taking BP Lawyers. World Baseball Classic
News starts at two am with Chinese Type A versus Australia.
The clock set got my alarm set? USA plays Brazil.
I'm not sure where Team USA thinks they're going to go,

(05:54):
but I know where Brazil wants to take them, take
them down deep end. On Friday, I'm under in Houston
and their full first pool play game, Logan Webb will
get the start. Trek Scooble will pitch Game two against Britain,
and then Paul Skeen's is set to face freaking Mexico.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
L Tree talk about Skiens on the mound, Team Mexico
pool play.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Let's go those Mexicans don't have a chance against Skiing,
No chance, it's over.

Speaker 6 (06:28):
How about Mike Trout's not even a starter for Team USA.
He can't even sniff the outfiel When you got Aaron Judge,
Roman Anthony and Byron Buxton out there starting, that sounds.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Like he could maybe start over one of those two guys.
Maybe Bucks didn't center field, you know, I would assume
maybe the whoever the Angels manager is now after Ron Washington, he's.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Been saying a lot of weird stuff. Trout, right before
the World Baseball Classic said he was going to use
a turo for a bat against Mexico, and a lot
of people were offended. So keep him on the pitch.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Sticks against the Chinese.

Speaker 6 (07:02):
About Great Britain when it faced Great Britain, what's he
gonna use?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Bad bel English breakfast to Roch Marczi.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
A full banger.

Speaker 6 (07:09):
Oh they got Italy in the final pool play again.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Oh that's it's a huge well back in against France
against Italy. It's a giant sausage. Braves outfielder Jerkson Profar
has been suspended for the entire twenty twenty six seasons.
So irrelevant he tested positive. Yeah, that's Will Smith said,
and then he hit a jag.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
You're so irrelevant, Jerkson.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
I did that. I did that interview. He tested positive
for a performance enhancing drug for the second time in
the past year. Double up. Profar will forfeit the entirety
of his fifteen million dollar salary and will be ineligible
for the postseason.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
Well, you know, you can maybe get past that.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
He's also out for the upcoming World Baseball Coat. Yeah,
very Are you kidding me? He was supposed to be
on the Netherlands. If I had known that, I would
have never taken the drugs replacing him. You're on Vanders Slute,
horrible murderer.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
I believe he is imprisoned. He might have killed himself.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Oh yeah, they might have. They might have sloot. They
might have let the slute finish it off in prison,
or as you would say, Matt, call it, call it yourself.
Still alive, all right, the Sliss still in prison, still
in prison, Yeah, let us sloote out.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
No, it's never been the same.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
The Lakers are thirty six and twenty four. They're the
sixth seed in the West, one half game behind Denver
and only a game and a half behind Minnesota. For that,
I know, I read this yesterday. The Lakers. They host
the Pelicans tonight night. You know, they won two in
a row. Here's Luca after the win Sunday versus the King.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, I mean it was two obviously, two great wins.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Uh cret.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
You know, we just got to go game by game.
Obviously there's a lot of noise outside.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
You know.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I tried to not pay attention to that. You gotta
go game my game, and that's too games. I think
we play.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Agree, that's one way to put it. They did play great.
They dominated their opponents by double digits.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
In the game, he made a wild shot after falling down,
and he said his teammates referenced it being on and one.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Like shot going back to the nineteen nineties mixtape days,
was skipped to malou In Jamal Crawford. He was asked
about it after the game.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Luca have a bit of a lighthearted one.

Speaker 8 (09:26):
I didn't know you were efficient out of the N
one mixtapes. What was your experience kind of growing up
watching those and do you have a player there that
you kind of like or imitate your game from.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
I was a kid and I couldn't be on internet.
Maybe you know Iverson did he do it?

Speaker 4 (09:49):
No?

Speaker 8 (09:50):
No, no no, it was like street ball kind of things.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
And oh no, no, no, no, I don't know. I didn't watch.
I didn't watch.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
This is a very uncomfortable.

Speaker 5 (10:01):
See.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Now, that's how you do it, Lebron. When you say
something and people are like, oh, you were into the
end one and then you get schooled on what the
end one is and you're like, oh, yeah, I guess
I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
What's your favorite line from The Godfather? Honestly, guys, I
can't never seen them.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
So they would say on the bank. So that's why
I said that, come too, you.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
See, not hard, very easy to just tell the truth.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
And I don't know. The Clippers are twenty nine and
thirty one, they're ninth in the West. They got to
win over the Warriors last night. Draymond was unhappy Warriors
Dayneterhauser knocking all over.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
And needing fewer all over them man.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Tomorrow night they host the Pacers.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
Who is that white guy?

Speaker 2 (10:44):
It's pitiful, other terrible.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
Who's this giant white guy, It's just swatting everything away?

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Love that guy. He's a darker hue than you and
I'm at slightly. Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson is not
being tagged and will now become an unrestricted free agent.
Matt There's a lot of NFL news out there.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
He is the best defensive end on the market, had
been franchise tagged before. He will hit the market and
is expected to command a large number char I shouldn't say.
Chargers Bears Pro Bowl center Drew Dolman announced his retirement.
He was just signed to a big free agent deal
last year. He was one of their big free agent
signings twenty seven, prime of his career and said he's

(11:28):
going to retire, so kind of weird, but whatever. Rams
head coach Sean McVay spoke to the media today. He
said there is in fact dialogue between the team and
quarterback Matthew Stafford. We talked about this in the past
about his contract. He has way underpaid after having won
the MVP. Dak Prescott is making sixty million bucks a year.
Stafford is expected to make forty. So they will try

(11:51):
to give him a higher salary while also trying to
get his number against the cap to go down. They'll
do that with void years in a multiple year deal.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
UCLA, Matt has got another big one tonight and they're
gonna lose. How do you know that? Well, you know what,
I don't know that you're right for a million dollars.
I knew you were gonna come out here and ask
me about offense. You do have to make shots to win.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
Are you asking a question or ben.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
No making a statement? I'm just trying to read the story.
Welcome to college basketball, buddy. Well, you would know then
that UCLA is nineteen and ten. They're eleven and seven
in the Big Ten. How do you know that? That's
the record? They host Nebraska to night in the final
home game of the season. It's written down terrible, terrible.
Well it's not terrible. It's not favorable, but the Big

(12:37):
Ten and a lot of good teams.

Speaker 7 (12:38):
I don't really have a lot to say.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
I'm sorry, Well, yeah, I understand you should have beat Minnesota.
Losers talk about we were winning at halftime and you were,
but then you'd lost. Well, got a TV buddy, I
watched it yes on television on FS one. The Bruins
will face USC on Sunday.

Speaker 6 (12:55):
Who hates nil more? You think Eric Musselman or Mick Cronin.
After all the money spent on this Baker guy who's
now gone, there's.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Only a million dollars, and you kick them off the
team before the tournament in Gillerinas attacks you will his
son still on the team.

Speaker 6 (13:09):
And then you got Meg who, like every other we's
complaining about these guys not performing and not living up time.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
I think Mick is beyond an il mix. Is very
unhappy with college basketball, but.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Just life in general, except for take making a left
on sunset every day, which makes it very happy.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
The schedule, the travel, the conference.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
The two things I like doing making a left on
sunset and I like making baseball analogies when I'm talking
about that, But what do you think the Dodgers are
doing that? Why do you think the Dodgers do that?
I don't know. Coach Okay, look, I hope that Cronin
beats the mayor tonight. But the mayors doesn't go down easy.
It's hard to take on the city.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
What about coach Krzyzewski. Much like Mick Cronan, he didn't
like the NC.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
He's not making his snarly face that he used to
make when he said this.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
He's tired of a tournament expansion. He says it's been
a big mistake. Capable teams right now than ever before.
Way too many have nots it is not their fault.
Stop messing with something that's gold.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's gold.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
That's the quote. And in other college athletics news, no
surprise here after a judge ruled that Trinidad Shambliss can
go back and play college football at his alma mater
after being declined three separate times. The Mississippi State House

(14:29):
just passed a bill that will exclude nil earnings from
state income tax. You you school janitor, you're gonna pay
the state what you owe the state. You construction worker,
You're gonna pay the state what you owe the state.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
But not this special young quarterback from Farris State.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
No suh. He will go through Scott FREEESA knocking Louisiana.
Say the same thing, young man, Not can Alabama say
the same thing your apps.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Our literacy level is low, but our integrity is high.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Let me ask you now to our neighboring state Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia.
They will tax those nil dollars of yours, young man,
but will not.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Hey will tax your strong workers.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
I stand here on the floor of the State House
today and I do declare we will have the most
friendly inile policies of any SEC program ever.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Have I been more proud to wear the homespun garments
of the great State of Mississippi. Okay, we'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Petros Papadacres that money snare. This is Petro send money
on demand.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Patrocean Money in five seventy el sports live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app Dotcher Talk coming up just after seven pm.
No Clippers tonight, but we will have it tomorrow tip
off at seven thirty against the Pacers.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
We have our dear friend, the one and only Tom
to LESCo, joining us on the Petros and Money Show.
Serious XM NFL. He learned it all from us his
media career. Just kidding. Longtime GM of the Chargers with
the Raiders as well our longtime friend and informational pillar,

(16:28):
Tom Telesco. What's cracking, Tom? How are you? Yes?

Speaker 5 (16:31):
Everything I know in media is from Petrow some money
And if you want to listen to this Friday, nine
am to twelve, Channel eighty eight Curious XM, we'll talk
all free agency, all draft, everything you can handle for
three hours.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Nice.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Look at that plugged straight out the gate. Very wait
for the host to get to it. I heard it yourself.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
I heard you have a parody song about Max Crosby
to the Rolling Stones, Angie Crosby cross Man. Anyway, we
appreciate you plugging that, Tom, because it is it is
a wild time. Is this supposed to be a more
active year than normal?

Speaker 1 (17:07):
No?

Speaker 5 (17:07):
I mean this is just the way it is that
you get this little week between the combine and free agency.
But you know next week there's gonna be a lot
of action going on. There's just there's so much cap
space amongst the teams right now now, a lot of
a lot of players, a lot of big name players
had already signed back to their clubs last year with
early extensions. But there's gonna be a lot of big
names on the market next week, there's gonna be a

(17:28):
lot a lot of changes and then you know, and
then you're transitioning into the draft right away. Just watching
the combine last weekend and the amount of prospects and
the and the positions that are strong. But yeah, there's
gonna be a lot going on in the month of March.
And this is every year, this one. The league is
so exciting because you know, from a fan standpoint, you
have a chance to see some some some real action

(17:48):
from your club. And the big thing is, like, there's
so much money out there available, so these players will
get some pretty big contracts next week.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Yeah, cap went up over three hundred million bucks. Every
team seemingly has money. To Petro said it. You spent
time in Vegas. You're the GM of the Raiders. You
know Max Crosby very well. It seems to be the
biggest name out there. Uh seems like today was sort
of the first day we got multiple media folks saying, yeah,
it feels like this is going to happen sooner than later.

(18:16):
Your thoughts does he get moved, and your thoughts on
that decision by the Raiders, where they're at, the division
they play in, and whether or not that's kind of
how they should be approaching, you know, their franchise player.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
Yeah, well, I can definitely see the logic behind it.
They have to add so much talent to the team
and sometimes you may have to move an asset that
you know is very good to acquire a lot more
assets and younger assets moving forward. Now, you would ask
me us a couple of weeks ago, I didn't think
it was going to happen. Nothing, aboudies it more than
a Raider than Max Crosby. And you know Max bill

(18:49):
is his name with two exes, So I mean, what
more rable is that to have Max with two xes? Right, So,
but I just didn't see it happening. You know, it
kind of feels like something may happen. But the hard
part from the Raiders is just getting true value back
for a player who's an all pro player at a
premium position. So if you get back to first round

(19:09):
draft picks, it sounds like a lot but in the end,
they're just lottery tickets, and odds will tell you that
a team, if you have two first round picks, you'll
hit on one out of two, and then one of
the odds you have to hit on a pass rushers
who's an all pro. So to me, if that trade
goes down, you're looking at two first round picks, and
I would want a starting player in return as well.

(19:31):
Will anybody give up that much for him? I don't know,
but I guess it seems like it's coming to a
head before the league year starts, and we'll kind of
see where that lands. If we asked me last week,
I got it said, I didn't think it's going to happen,
But last couple of days it seems like it's more
progressing that way.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
You certainly know, you know what difference a quarterback makes,
having been with Philip Rivers justin Herbert and then in
Las Vegas, not necessarily having that franchise quarterback to lean
on your thoughts on Fernando Mendoza felt like being at
the combine in Indianapolis. Tom A lot of people were
surprised when when he weighed in at two thirty six

(20:08):
and kind of checks that justin Herbert, Josh Allen size
box six, five thirty six, I think is what it was.

Speaker 5 (20:15):
Yeah, I was surprised too. I thought he would be
more in the two twenty range, and he's you know,
he's over sixty four two thirty five. He's a really
thick lower body, and that's franchise quarterback. And you see
with Justin I mean, even with the good offensive lines,
you take hits back there, so you got to have
some size to handle that. And Mendoza has that, and
the Raiders for a long time since since Derek karr Leff,

(20:38):
had been looking for a young quarterback, a young franchise
quarterback to build around, and they're probably gonna be able
to have that. Now, it's going to take some time.
There's still a lot of holes that have to fill,
certainly on defense. This past year they had a lot
of one year contract and a lot of older players,
so they're gonna have to loop some masssets on that
side of the ball as well, but then continue to
build around for Na Mendoza and upgrade the offensive line.

(21:00):
So a lot of work to be done there. So
that's why you can see why they probably are entertaining
a little bit moving Max Crosby for a lot of
picks and maybe other players because they have a lot
of holes to fill. The biggest thing is don't fill
the biggest hole with the quarterback this year in the draft,
the one.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
And only Tom Telesco, our friend from Serious xam our
GM brain on the Petros and Money Show. Tom. When
the NFL combine happens, is there typically an overreaction from
the GM types or does it just confirm something you

(21:35):
usually already knew.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
It usually confirms that the whole notion that players are
rising and falling at the combine really is not true.
I mean usually the player is on the board where
he's been a lot of the players that test very well,
like the tight end at Oregon, Sadik, like everyone knew
he was going to test well, So I don't think
it's going to change anything.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
I figured he would test well when he would like
hurdle it over like seven guys against in a big
ten game. You know I'm pretty good.

Speaker 5 (22:04):
Yeah, track background and these an outstanding athlete. You can
see it on the field. So most of these players
that ran fast and tested well, they're players that were
known to test well already. And as you saw this
year the com a lot of players that knew they
weren't going to run fast just didn't run. And we'll
see if these players end up running or testing at
their protags at their schools or not. I think that's

(22:26):
part of the reason why there were so many fast times,
because all the fast guys said, we'll run and the
guys that don't run this fast that, you know what,
I'm gonna wait on this one, so we'll see. But
and then every now and then you get a player
that does test better than you anticipated, and then you'll
go back and you'll meet again with your scouts, kind
of go to the tape again, so if you missed anything,
and sometimes you do, sometimes you don't, but sometimes we'll

(22:47):
give you a cross check as well.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
What the Rams have two first round picks, Tom, they
got thirteen. I think twenty nine is the other one,
or maybe it's thirty. But just kind of when you're
that close to making Super Bowl, when you have a
quarterback that just won the MVP and is I think
thirty seven, Like, how do you how do you best
use those draft picks? Do you do you trade one

(23:09):
of them for We were talking about this yesterday at corner,
Like maybe McDuffie if he's on the market, do you
get more you know, there's some guys that are twenty four,
twenty five years old, or are you cooking more at
players like that with your first round draft picks. What's
the proper way to use those when it feels like
this is a team that is all chips to the
center of the table for this year.

Speaker 5 (23:29):
Yeah, I'd keep pushing them in. But you can keep
pushing them in by still using your two first round
draft picks at positions that you feel they can come
in and contribute right away. And that's maybe the one
difference where there may be say he's got two players
at assimilar position. One's more of a project that may
take a couple of years, and other guy's probably a
little bit more ready made. They may go a little
bit more ready made player, but they don't have a

(23:50):
ton of holes. But in the holes it to have,
I think they can fix in the draft. Me corners
one of them. This is a pretty good corner draft.
There's no doubt they could use one. This is a
really good receipt for draft and that at least in
the first two rounds, maybe the first three rounds, and
they can use another receiver next to Puka, and then
you know Davonte Adams, who get a little bit closer
to the end, but they add another receiver for that group.

(24:11):
It's really deep at the tackle position, so it can
line up for them where they can add some players
without having to go trade for a veteran, which also
brings salary into it. And I'm assuming with with Matthew Stafford,
he'll probably have another contract adjustment this year is my assumption,
So that's going to take up some cap space. So
you know, would they look at the potential starting quarterback

(24:32):
for down the road, that road that they draft this year?
You know, the only one that fits that is ty Simpson.
Will they know that road? I don't know. You know,
they may just kind of push the can down with
another year with Stafford and just kind of go from
some position position players right and take a player like
Simpson in the first round with one of their two
first round picks. So we'll see if I can see
them using their two foot their two ones on position players.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
What's going to happen to guys like to on Kirk Cousins.
You know, there's so.

Speaker 5 (24:58):
Many teams right now that don't have to starting quarterbacks
that we saw Kyler Murray is going to come out
next week, Kyler Murray, You're gonna be able to get
at the league minimum, which is for him. I think
this over like one point five one point three million dollars.
You're getting a starting quarterback at basically basically for free.
Two will be the same way if he's released, because

(25:18):
he has so much guaranteed money, and Cousins would be
a little bit wary just on the age. You've actually
played pretty well at the end of last year. But
there's a lot of teams that need quarterbacks right now.
There's really only one legitimate first round quarterback this year,
and that's Mendoza, and we know he's going to go
to the Raiders. There's not a lot of our places
to go unless you want to sign with Lake Willis,
who looks interesting but just has a really small body

(25:39):
of work. So those guys are all going to find homes,
and more than likely Kyler Murray will probably start somewhere
this year, and two will probably compete for a job
somewhere to start as a bridge quarterback. More than likely.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Tom to LESCo with US, longtime general manager of the
Chargers with the Raiders, spent time with the Colts for
a long while when they were winning Super Bowls with
Peyton Manning. You drafted Ion in the first round. He's
up this year. Bradley Boseman retired. I assume they're going
to cut their losses with Makai Beckton. If Zion's number
is too big to bring him back. How hard is

(26:10):
it for a team that also, I think is knocking
on the door of that Super Bowl. That's where they
think they are to find three interior linemen in the
same offseason.

Speaker 5 (26:20):
Yeah, there's some other teams going through just the same way.
The Browns are going through a similar situation with more
than three. They're looking at probably four or five new
starters the way it is right now, Zion john says
he's going to get paid and get paid a lot,
and it's just it's a flying demand. There's so few
good offensive climemen available, a lot of teams need them.
So we'll see where that shakes out with the Chargers.

(26:43):
This is a pretty good draft with interior linemen. It's
not as strong as tackle, but you can find guards
the second, third and fourth round. You can find centers
in the third and fourth round. Now, the question is
do you want to play with a lot of rookies
on the offensive line in the year where the Chargers
like they're so close, you know, to being a Super
Bowl contender. So do you want to go that route.

(27:04):
Look into your offensive line with a good guy in
department like they have there. Especially on the pro side,
you can find some players. There's gonna be some players
released between now in the beginning of the league year.
You know, if you find one opfensive lineman, that's that's
kind of a cat casualty. You sign one of those guys,
you find one UFA, you draft a guy, and all
of a sudden, you know you're ready to go. So

(27:24):
you're going to have to attack it a number of
different ways, maybe the possible trade. So when you have
that many players in one position group to add, you
just have to look at look at it from a
lot of different perspectives. It's going to be greden seed,
cap cuts, trades, and then draft and you'll put it
all together that way.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Fabulous perspective. Always from Tom to LESCo, our friend nine
to noon Serious x M NFL Radio for that good
free agency talk that we all desire from a man
who keeps it straight and real and always very informational.

six thirty. The Clippers are taking on the Indiana Pacers

(29:14):
who have zubots but barely.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
They are a centerpiece of the tanking and anti tanking
discussion in the NBA is so they barely have zoobots.
They like, they're not playing them. They are telling all
their starters. I think that Hammy could use another couple.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
I'll tell you who's not gonna like that, Matt, and
that's the owner of the Phoenix Suns. He's got a
real problem with tanking. He doesn't like it.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
He didn't like giving mel Tucker ninety million dollars only
to have him beat off on the phone with that chick.
Really bad scene. Yeah, that guy. I'd be pissed if I.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
Was that gotches life in college sports.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
I guess, like, you know, you hire a guy, you
pay him all this money. He has all these slogans
and recruits his ass off, wiggle him away from Colorado away.
It wasn't even that good. And next thing you know,
he's polishing the bishop on the phone with a rape
counselor what's going on? What's going on?

Speaker 4 (30:12):
I'd say something that wouldn't be believed if it were
written in Hollywood.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
But it's true, you know what, it's true. He couldn't
believe this if it was in Hollywood, and it is.
Jean Harlowe speaking of Hollywood, Matt a big time star
from before our time. Oh Jean, Jean Harlowe, carpenter from
Kansas City, your favorite town. She would have been one

(30:39):
hundred and fifteen years old today, but dead. How long?
What year do you think Jean Harlowe died?

Speaker 4 (30:47):
I'll go ninth when she would have been howled today?

Speaker 2 (30:50):
One hundred and fifteen.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
I'll go nineteen eighty.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
She's been dead since nineteen thirty seven. I'm sorry? What yep?

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Jean Horlow correct Harlow since thirty seven, the.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Biggest star in Hollywood, basically ever, the one that inspired
the look, has been dead since thirty seven. She died
at the age of twenty six, twenty six. Her dad
was a dentist, she's her nickname, and her mom was

(31:27):
the daughter of a really rich Kansas City real estate guy.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
Kansas City real estate some of the finest real estate
in all the land.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Her nickname was Baby. The mom divorced and her and
Jean came to Hollywood. Not for Jean to become an actress,
but the mom thought she could make a run at him.
Happens at thirty two. Mom was told listen, Gallia too old,
but your daughter there, Well, it was over. They went

(31:54):
back to Kansas City, and then she went to Ferry
Hall School in Chicago. She ended up married to an Air,
a very rich guy from that school, at seventeen, and
in nineteen twenty eight she moved back to la as
a young socialite rich girl and became an extra in movies.

(32:16):
Her husband disapproved, so she left him. Howard Hughes signed
Chase My Dream. Howard Hughes signed her, and she ended
up marrying an MGM executive for her second marriage. Her
first movie, Hell's Angels, ended up being nineteen thirty's highest
grossing film of the year. Her huge rack and blonde

(32:42):
hair made her a star. MGM loaned her out and
she did more stuff Jimmy Cagney in The Public Enemy,
Clark Gable, and Iron Man. She's basically Matt the original
platinum blonde chick. So if you ever see a woman
with platinum blonde hair and red lipstick, you think Marilyn Monroe,

(33:02):
But originally it's Harlowe who inspired Marilyn Monroe. Because Harlowe
was such a big deal and so well liked. She
dated a mobster named Abner'swilman, who bought her a red
Cadillac and a bejeweled bracelet. He gave her his townhouse
and his racing horses. She basically destroyed her hair every

(33:26):
week with bleach and ammonia and luxe soap flakes, which
made women do that all over the country, like the
Kylie Jenner poofy lips.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
That's why we had a whole generation of bald women.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
In nineteen or in her twenty first birthday, they bought
her contract from Hughes. Louis b. Mayer bought her contract
from Howard Hughes, and she became the world's biggest star
with a really quick run till she was twenty six.
Her look was the inspiration for Madonna, even Gwen Stefani.

(34:02):
Every once in a while, I could see that there
is a Jean Harlowe cocktail equal parts sweet vermouth and rum.
She got sick when she was fifteen at a summer camp,
one of those weird Midwestern summer cap things. She got
scarlet fever and it came back in her twenties, when

(34:23):
she was campaigning for FDR and when she was filming
what would be her last movie with Clark Gable Saratoga.
She is very sick. She died of kidney failure at
twenty six in nineteen thirty seven.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
I think it's just you look at her and it's
you know, it's like our high school years. We looked
like we were thirty. Well, harletwe looks like she's forty.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
She played a hard, hard edged She wasn't like. She
didn't play like an innocent, giggling woman, right. She played
like a hard etched gangster girlfriend type of chick, hence
the platinum blonde hair. Yeah, you know, only twenty six,
but married four.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
Times, living hard.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Her last husband was the great actor William Powell. Oh
from the Nick and Nora. I love the thin Man
Sure movies. I've shown you the thin Man movies, yes
you have, and the books dash O Hammett.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
You know they wear the hats with the nets over
the eye. They just look old, like I'm looking at
a photo of her and bid headed woman and she
looks like she's fifty.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Harlow's been played, Gwen Stefani played and the Aviator, the
Howard Yes Movie and Sharon Stone and Echo.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
For Stefani, that launch her acting career. That one shot
she got was she.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
I don't think she was like a cameo. She didn't speak,
it's probably for the best, and don't speak that.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
I just stand in the best.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Sharon Stone also played there. Okay, yeah, uh so anyway,
Jean Harlowe. Very interesting story. And to think that that
look is still a big thing. You know, they'll dress
up Billy Elsh like that or something and slapp her
on the cover of the magazine or even punk. Ask
Kim Kardashian, who's hanging out with Lewis Hamilton and.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
Has the private Jett has it left? Has her private
jet left for Australia? Is it in round the Kardashian Express.
I thought you'd get that tail.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Not least right to the quarteres. It's only Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
I need your support, Kim. The bound it's a lonely
place in Melbourne. Uh, you're a live guy. When you
got a finished power metal band called Stratavarius, you bet
your ass. Petro said money, You're gonna give you a
look at the alive guy. Birthday of the Day, Hit
me cakes, Happy sixty Temo Tolkien, turn it off sweet,

(36:53):
Oh yeah, listen to it man. Guitar World has listed
Temo in the top fifty of fastest fingers. What that's
where you want to be listen to the Shreddy Finish

(37:15):
power metal rock opera. Timo started playing guitar at seven.
Parents said he was obsessed a shoot his schoolwork to
practice seven to eight hours a day. Lost his father
when he was just twelve, very sad. Pops decided to
call it himself and just hopped out the window of

(37:37):
their apartment. So bit of that event to deal with
when dinner.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Was he beaten in the street.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
People don't know, still don't know. He started playing with
bands shortly thereafter, Antidote, Thunder Roadblock, but they were not
getting traction. This is like part four of the rock opera.
Oh yeah. When friends in a band called Blackwater call
to see if he was interested, he agreed. They worked

(38:04):
through some things, ended up renaming the band Stratavarius. Demo
was their lead vocalist. He played all lead guitars, He
played all rhythm guitar.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
He saw a slide rule in the corner and I thought, wow.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
He played bass guitar. Basically he was the driving force
of Strata Varius. Everyone else was along for the ride.
Huge in Finland and really most of Scandinavia. Give me
a little more volume here when I make this statement,
and I know hard to believe. He gigantic in Japan.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
This band, this overly dramatic finished.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
Band, Stratavarius, gigantic in Japan, top ten, number one import
every time they released a record, put out four records
before he started getting bored. So he went solo in
ninety four. His first solo album.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
The first six rock Operas had my attention, but I'm
now born.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
These seminal classical variations in themes, primarily instrumental. Follow up
had lyrics very personal. He did have a nervous breakdown
right after recording it. Ah, So Stratavarius broke up. He
was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He took a year off
old recovery. Strata Aarius gets back together.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
You know where there's high drama, there are.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
Low lows, certainly I mean high highs low los. Oh,
listen to the bass. I know what I'm listening to.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
On the way home, man crashes off bridge.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
He put Strata Areas back together in five. He left
again in eight.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
He opened up the studio, holding up the devil hornes
out of the window of his Mazda.

Speaker 4 (39:57):
I can't get enough. He was trying to talk to
the neighboring cars.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Can you hear this? Can you hear this? Listen to this?
How good is this? Uh?

Speaker 4 (40:10):
He opens up a studio, he starts producing, started a
new project, Avalon. It was the best of the best
of power, metal, of death, metal, of metal, metal that
Scandinavia had to offer. He released on May seventeenth, twenty thirteen,
a story set in twenty fifty five. Earth has been

(40:33):
destroyed by natural catastrophes and a small group of survivors
decided to set off on a journey to find a
sacred place known.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
Is the Land of New Hope.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
It turned into a trilogy, Angels in the Apocalypse Part two.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
You might have diven dove a little deep in this pool, Matt,
I got into it. Listen, you might have swam a
little bit too long in the moonlight.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
When I hear there's a trilogy that includes the Land
of New Hope, Angels in the Apocalypse and returned to Eden,
I'm excited.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
You know. I don't think our ideas are grandiose enough. Guys,
we gotta get we gotta really, we gotta make this bigger.
How do we make this bigger?

Speaker 4 (41:14):
He ended up doing fourteen His discography here fourteen albums
with Stratavarius three. When I'm saying that's not enough, people
are still clamoring for more. He did three with Revolution, Renaissance,
four with Timo Tolki's Avalon, one with Symphonia, six solo,
