Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, let's ride.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Ethan Garbers will join us next. But right now it's
time for the top story of the day.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Story of it, you know, p Normally in these parts
we say they never learned. These guys never learn. Why
do you continue to employ individuals who sabotage your franchise,
(03:29):
who take millions of dollars from Eugenie Bus because they
never learn.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
However, tip of the cap today, Oh really, Matt.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Tip of the cap to the Lakers front office, because,
by Jesus, they learned.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
They took their medicine.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
We delivered that medicine as a suppository multiple times last
year and this year after passing on Haimi Hakes because
he was twenty two Maybe becausin I hope not, should
have been one of the reasons why they drafted him.
Maybe they passed on him because he's Mexican American. Maybe
they're racist.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I don't know whoa man Mexican Americans don't appreciate.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
That god son in law's name, Jeff. But the idea
that a twenty two year old or a twenty three
year old has hit their ceiling. Therefore we can't draft
him in the first round. We meet the Hube Brown.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Tup.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Wait a minute, I start to understand. Now you draft
the Mexican American superstar Harbi Haquaz and he outshines old
Lebron Hairnet Lebron. And now you got a.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Problem, right like you got these old guys interesting and
you're chasing top tremendous upside potential.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Huby Brown. We asked him two questions.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
He talked for seventeen minutes, fewest questions answered in a
fifteen plus minute interview in the history of the Petros
and Money Show.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Rivaled only by Bill Walton. God rest his.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Soul, Yes, God forbid, you get a really really good
player who has a chance to contribute to two of
the best players in the league immediately, like Ami Hakez,
who's twenty two, gonna be twenty three. Instead, they take
Jalen hood Schafino, a nineteen year old sensational freshman.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
But everybody knew project tremendous upside.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Potentially he's got size, physicality, but he ain't ready. Hami
hak he's ready. Jalen Hoofino ain't even gonna be a
team next year. A lottery pick that did not get
his third year option picked up is unheard of. But again,
I don't want this to be seen as a hammer
to the Lakers for.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
A top story.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
This is what do you know? You learned something you recognize,
You totally left it up. And when the rest of
the league was busy drafting teenagers, three Frenchmen, a Serb,
a Canadian, you looked at the whitey. You looked at
(06:03):
the white guy that was doing stuff on a basketball court.
He said, all right, if everybody else is going to
pass on these white guys, I'm gonna sign third base.
I'm gonna bring in mc search, and I'm gonna bring
in Pete Nice Because while everyone else may write them off,
I recognize we might be sitting on a platinum record.
(06:25):
I like the way this guy wears a fur coat
down to his ankles, rolls with a cane.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I like the way this guy has something shaving into
the back of his head all the time.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I like the way this Jewish guy has got a
real tight curl and the word a third Base shaved
in the back of his head.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
It's great. You know, he's got perfect air for this.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I'm gonna take a shot on the white guys.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
And not only did they get step into the am,
they got the gas face as well, two bigger hits
Matt and they have reunited. Last week it was announced
Third Base has reunited. And I like to think the
Petros and Money I had a little something to do
with that.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
We didn't hurt.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Nobody was talking about third Base when the Petros Money
Show brought it up last year or earlier this year.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
And now they've reunited.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
The other whites that were taking ahead of connect read
Shepherd at nineteen, Donovan kling In at twenty, Zach Edy
is seven foot four. But the Lakers, they atoned, They
atoned for their sins. They did the Miami heat thing.
They took Dalton connect double transfer, white guy step into
(07:29):
the am twenty three on the day of the draft,
twenty three years old and had half a brain, did
they when they looked around their roster and saw forty
year old Lebron James thirty one year old Anthony Davis,
And we're like, you know what, maybe let's not take
the nineteen year old this time around. Maybe let's take
(07:51):
Maybe let's not take the guy that was an extra
in the air up there from Uzbekistan. Let's just go
what looks like a pretty g damn thing as a
rotation player. And considering, considering he traded blows, that isn't cool.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Man, I don't appreciate it. What I don't appreciate this
at all?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Listen, gotta take a shot.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
He traded blows in one of the most exciting tournament
games between he and Zach Edy. He is a big
time player and big time games and he did not
shrink in the spotlight. So maybe being a Laker won't
be a big deal to him. Maybe Lebron James barking
at him won't face him so much. Since he's twenty
three and he's from North Dakota and he played it
(08:44):
at JC and then Tiney Directional Colorado schools before making
his way to Tennessee. He has earned everything. He earned
it all by being the best player on every team
at every stole, including the SEC Player of the Year.
And to put in perspective, how old twenty three is
(09:08):
for an NBA draft, d LaMelo Ball.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
You're going to inform on the guy I'm talking about,
How old are you?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
LaMelo Ball is six months younger than Dalton connect and
he is already on his max contract. That's how old
twenty three is for an NBA draft. So if you're asking,
how the hell did this guy last until seventeen? Because
people are stupid because they look at someone who is
twenty three again, twenty three years old, and they're like, oh,
(09:38):
that's old.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Now, this guy's over the hill.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
This guy, I don't know about investing in a twenty
three year old. Now.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
This guy looks like Mike Tyson in the ring.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Now, I mean, how much longer are we going to
have this guy around?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
It's twenty three already, crazy talk draft this guy at
number seventeen.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Credit the Lakers, Weed, Yeah, credit.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
The Lakers for accepting the gu that fell into their
lap and not overthinking it for shaming the other sixteen
teams that passed on him. Now, would he be the
number one pick with the draft redone today?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Probably not, but.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Maybe maybe he be top three, top four, And even
if this is all he may never be, it may
maybe if this is all he'll ever be. A guy
that makes six of six threes in the third quarter
and nine overall last night, the Lakers' best three point shooter,
connecting on forty six percent of his attempts, taking eight
(10:33):
shots per game, five of them from behind the arc,
and making damn near half of them. If those numbers,
by the way, these are numbers on the total season,
not just the last four games, when he has been
playing pretty much starter minutes and gone straight up. Berzerker
(10:54):
Memphis thirty one minutes, nineteen points, eighty eight percent shooting, yes,
eighty eight percent, San Antonio fourteen points, twenty six minutes,
fifty five percent shooting, twenty seven points, seven rebounds, fifty
nine percent shooting in thirty seven minutes.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
And then last night's.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Peace their Resistals thirty seven points on seventy five percent
shooting in thirty eight minutes.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Now, how much of a heater.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Is he on?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Well to do the white guy thing. Has Austin Reeves
ever given the Lakers a stretch like this.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
If we're going to do the white guy I think
I'm assuming no.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Yes he has, Okay, all right, yes he has. Perhaps
you remember two years ago in the playoffs, clearly the
most competitive sweep ever. Those four games, Reeves averaged twenty
four points, four rebounds, five assists on fifty five percent shooting.
(11:58):
White guy in the Western Conference finals as a second
year player, undrafted out of Oklahoma. Pretty big school, pretty
big school, just like Tennessee. Not a traditional NCAA basketball power,
but certainly a recognizable program with some big time players
that have played in that uniform in the tournament. Yet
(12:22):
Austin Reeves and his whiteness undrafted, despite well.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
He's no buddy heal theer Blake Griffin.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Right, Yet he put up nineteen six and five in
his senior season. And guess what, Pee, he was a
twenty three year old white guy undraft d and he
slipped through the cracks the guy every single team in
the league.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Do you have to give a credit?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Bad?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I mean you kind of what I'm doing here?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
All right? Okay?
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I'm sorry every team asks for Austin Reeves. When the
Lakers call to exchange ideas for a trade, they say, hey,
can we have a Austin Race? Hello, you could have
had him with the fifty fifth pick the year we
signed him as an undrafted free ation, but God forbid
a twenty three year old white guy have anything to
offer up to an NBA team. After putting together Reeves's
(13:13):
resume in the tournament, the guy put up twenty seven
points on sixty five percent shooting in their second round
loss to Gonzaga and couldn't get a sniff. Couldn't even
be drafted with the fifty fifth pick like Bronnie James,
who's shooting four percent. Twenty three year old white guy
who can shoot, who needs him? Well done, Lakers, Well done,
(13:36):
You learned lesson learned. You effed up the Heimihawkes thing
for the tremendous upside potential of Jalen hood Schaffino. You
didn't even pick up his third year option. And this
year you had a twenty three year old whitey staring
you right in the face and you didn't overthink it.
It helps La Times today and dub writing a story
(14:02):
about Reeves and the connection he made with connect seeing
a little bit of himself an old Dalton.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That he's white. It's going I also see that I'm
white and we're pretty. But there's not a lot of
other white guys.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
So we both got bangs. Both got a side park.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Apparently they made a connection during his senior season when
he was going through a slump, Reeves reached out and said, hey, man,
shoot your shot.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
You keep shooting your shot, and I'm here.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
If you need me anything, you need, you reach out
to me. I'm not going to see you go through
the racist.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Is that what he said?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
The racism that I had to deal with in the draft?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Say that?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
No, I ambellased a little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Was that article? Yeah, I don't feel like I don't
feel like WAK would write that. Well, you know, Mad,
it doesn't feel like lebron James is given Palka any
credit to what he had to say.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
No, they didn't find k the other sixteenth.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh he's so hard he didn't find you.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
He find Bronnie Bronnie was the fourth best player on
his high school basketball team. It fined Bronnie Bronnie average
three points a rebound, an assistant turnovers at USC.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Rodney already very upset with us, said he here's what
you say, here's what I say, and now let him
have it.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Let him have it. Well.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Rich Paul was telling other teams not to draft Bronni
and they were saying, hey, Rich, we got no intention
of drafting the guy. You're good, don't worry about us,
but thanks for the heads up. Somehow Dulton Connect just
slipped through the cracks all the way to pick seventeen.
While the NBA eyes of the world wake up to
find out the Dalton Connect lasted till pick seventeen because
(15:59):
everybody wants to know where Bronnie was going, and it
worked out.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
You think that's what it was, Matt, It was a
diversionary tactic.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
One hundred percent. Look over here, Look over here.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
There's a lot you're making a lot of a lot
of speculation. Here, here's what we're gonna do, racism.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
We're gonna draft the guy who's gonna shoot about nine percent.
He's not gonna have to travel with our G League team.
He's not gonna play, and when he does, it's gonna
look like he's so horribly out of place that people
are gonna think someone got left on the court after
a timeout, fan interaction, fan engagement, well, Matt fan activation.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of
its own.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Congratulations Rob Polinka. Don't get used to it, but we
know you listen to all the callers and stuff. So

Petro saying money Am five seventy LA Sports live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app wherever you may be, and live
on these very terrestrial air waves from Baja California to
the Canadian Rockies. It is Rivalry Week and at the
Rose Bowls Saturday night, a seven thirty pm kick will
(18:25):
be heard on AM five seventy with a pregame beginning
of five thirty, a two hour extravaganza p leading in
to the crosstown showdown UCLA and the USC Well, Matt,
we got.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
The play caller, the signal caller, Nott True, a real
o g We all remember his days in the state
championship at CDM, A glorious quarterback in Southern California for
some years. Now playing at UCLA. Twenty one hundred yards
(18:58):
fourteen touchdowns. UCLA coming off a tough loss at Washington
last Friday night, snapping one in the streak, but a
chance for Bowl eligibility and the greatest rivalry in all
of college football as far as US Angelino types are concerned,
Joining us right now on your Southern California Toyota Dealers
(19:20):
celebrity hotline, Ethan Garber's I believe for the first time,
at least in a long time. On the Pettersen Money Show, Ethan,
what's Cracklan? How are you happy? Rivalry Week? How's it going?
Speaker 5 (19:33):
I'm good happy rivalry week to you as well. Thanks
for having me.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You sound like a grown man. You know, you sounded
like a speaky little guy last time.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
It's been a couple of years since since we've talked last,
so yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
And it's been great watching you persevere and fight through
adversity and stay committed to UCLA and have your chance
to be the starter and the leader. And it's fun
to watch you guys kind of grow as a team
first and foremost kind of explained to us, what what's
that's been like, kind of growing as a team after
some rough waters early in the year and finding a
(20:11):
way to win football games at a new conference.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Yeah, you know, we started off the year not exactly
how we wanted to. We we played kind of a
tough schedule and had and played some really good teams,
but I just we felt like we were just weren't
clicking as an offense or or as a team early
on in the year. You know, we we still continue
to practice every day hard and and and still got
(20:34):
after it, but yeah, you know, kind of midway through
the season we started to click a little bit. You know,
an unfortunate loss last week, but we're but we're looking
back to to come back strong this week with a
with a great performance on Saturday Night.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
No, it's not a requisite, but it's got to be
kind of nice to have a guy as your head coach,
a leader that's been through it that knows how important
the rivalry is. Has Coach Foster been kind of different
all this week? Is he's stressing the impact that this
has on the city or is he treating it as
another game? It certainly seems like it means a lot
to him.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Yeah. You know, with Coach Foster being former Bruin and
playing in this game, you know this this means a
lot to him, and it means a lot to a
lot of the alumni ut UCLA and a lot of
a lot of players that have played in this game
know what that means. But for him, yes, I would
say it definitely is a special week for all of us.
(21:29):
You know, we know how important this game is, and
we know how important this game is for our goal
of the season, which is to get be eligible. So
we're just looking forward to that opportunity.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Ethan Garber's joining us on the Petro sand Money Show,
of course, of the Garber's UC System quarterbacking family it
is rivalry week, and we are excited to see what
happens in the game. It's always a wild game. How
about you, You've been through a lot of this as
opposed to some of the young guys. It's it's slow
(22:00):
down a little bit for you out there. I would
imagine how do you approach the weeks personally?
Speaker 5 (22:05):
You know, I I kind of For me, I just
I just want to treat it like any other week.
I don't want to make too much of a make
too much of a deal of it. You know. Obviously
I know the history and and the meaning called other
players into my teammates as well, But for me, I'm
just trying to keep it even even keel and and
keep it a normal weak and and go throughout, go
(22:26):
throughout my process.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
I'll tell you what you remember. You remember three touchdowns
last year in a thirty eight to twenty win. That's
what you remember.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
How much, sir?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
How much did did that resonate throughout the offseason? How
big of a deal was it last year that you
guys put that beaten down on USC.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Yeah, it felt great, honestly, you know it was. It
was huge, huge for our team. We're looking we're looking
to do the same thing this year. You know, we're
looking to go out there and and and just give
it our ale and just just play play for each other.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
You know.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
That's that's that's been the big mottol this week.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
You played at Pennon State. This year, you went all
the way out to Rutgers, you went all the way
down to the Bayou, uh and survived being attacked by
gators in LSU. I can't imagine there's anything that you
haven't been through, uh this year. What What has that
been like, that kind of long road when you've been
so used to that PAC twelfth trail in your life.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Yeah, you know, it's Uh, it's it's been interesting for sure,
adjusting with the travel and and the time change and
and playing early games, you know, and honestly seeing all
these cool stadiums. It's been it's been a great experience.
And like you said, I've never really seen anything like
that in the in the PAC twelve. But I know
(23:40):
it's been a lot of fun and and and a
really cool experience.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
What was going so right on the wind streak, you know,
starting with you know, at early kick out out at Rutgers.
Then you go to Lincoln and you get a victory,
you knock off Iowa here kind of it was a
heck of a stretch. What was happening on there that
that you guys seem to find.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Yeah, you know, we just all eleven guys just played
together and there was no We didn't really make any
mental mistakes. You know, we never really got behind the chains,
and most importantly we didn't we didn't turn the ball
over except for the for the for the Iowa game.
But you know, we we played pretty good. We played
pretty good football. So we're just looking to get back
to what we know and and and the way we've
(24:21):
been playing in the past, and we're looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
An O. G. C. King from cdm Ethan Garber's joining
us right now. Obviously Coach Foster is still around and
you're very familiar with him, but a lot of new
people filtering through U c l A since you showed up. Uh.
It's a very familiar place to you though, and I
know you're very comfortable there. How different does it feel
(24:45):
under Coach Foster as opposed to the past and Uh?
And what is it like being a little bit older
and fostering the younger guys? No pun intended through change.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Yeah, No, it's it's been great.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
I've always always had a great relationship with coach Foster,
and I knew, I knew what kind of coach he was.
You know, he's a fellow Orange County guy, but he's uh,
he's great. You know, he's done such a good job
just to keeping us focused, keeping us uh in these
these long practices, you know, just just making sure that
we're we're on we're on top of what we need
(25:20):
to be doing.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
When you were young, Eithan, you're maybe uh playing uh
Pop Warner or Friday Night Lights or even you know,
some freshman football, whatever it may be, do you remember
the rivalry? Like, is there anything that sticks out to
you Brett Hunley and Jim Moore, like anything in particular
that you what do you what do you remember about
this rivalry when you were a young football playing kid.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
No, I you hit it right on the head. I
remember exactly Brett Hunley, Jim Mora, I remember Miles Jack, Uh,
those guys, Anthony Barr just kind of that that uh,
that that wave of Bruins just kind of coming up.
That's that's what I remember from my childhood. And I
just remember I always see I love I love watching
(26:05):
games in the Rose Bowl too. You know, it's such
a beautiful stadium and it looks so cool.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
But yeah, all right, Ethan, how often do you get
down to the beach at Corona del Mar and light
of fire with old that tight end Redmond and Humphries
was at his name, the long receiver, you know, all
those guys that you won the state championship with and
sit around and wear your letterman's jackets and talk about
how awesome the Sea Kings were when you were a
(26:32):
young man. Do you have time for that sort of thing?
Speaker 5 (26:36):
I haven't had time recently in the past, but I
would say probably last year or probably the start of
this year. You know, there was definitely some time for that.
We always, we always keep in touch that that team.
You know, we got a great, great group of guys.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Well, you got a great group of guys this year
as well, and you're taking the field with them on
Saturday night. Good luck to you, Ethan Garber's. We appreciate
you joining the show, and stay healthy out there and
we will talk to you again. Congratulations on all your
success and have a great finish to the season.

Okay, we'll be back with more great sports doc You're

The Petersen Money Show is back on the air and
happy to be with you on M five seventy LA Sports.
A big thank you to Ethan Garber's a prince of

Rivalry Week. Rivalry Week. We'll be on on AM five
seventy LA Sports on Saturday night. But right now it's
time for the Dead Guy Birth the other day. We're
not done though. We're going until five thirties.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Got a meaty meat got a big meaty segment coming
up until six thirty when Adam Oslin has the pregame
You're dead guy Pee. We are on the precipice, the
precipice of Vietnam Christmas, beating out Dwayne Ullman. It was
an easy choice. Vietnam Christmas ed too tall. Freeman Okay
born in Neely, Mississippi, sixth of nine kids.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Vietnam doesn't seem like a place you'd want to be
super tall, you know, especially to say Tommy in.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
History, especially considering what Ed wanted to do. Being too
tall is why he got his nickname Too Tall. Said
he knew he wanted to be a soldier from the
time he was single digits seventeen and at WW two
he says, I gotta get in Korean War rolls around. Yeah,
he's a sergeant. He's in the Corps of Engineers. But
they say, Freeman, we need you in the infantry. Man,
(28:49):
muscle beaches. Now poork Chop Hill. And if you are
listening and a descendant of Ed too Tall Freeman, you
point to the sky and you can sit yourself blessed.
Why pork Chop Hill man. That's why he was sent
in the initial opening stages of the battle. Two hundred
and fifty seven men went up, fourteen came back.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Goddamn Ed was one of them.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Jeez right, they make them second lieutenant because everybody's dead.
They put him in command to B company, the next
wave that's got to go up pork Chop Hill and.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
He's like, all right, whatever, let's go.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Yeah. He wanted to be a pilot, and with the
advancement he was able to become a pilot. But at
six foot four, they were like, hey, you're too tall, dude.
But in nineteen fifty five they relaxed those restrictions and
he's like, cool, I want to fly helicopters. I think
helicopters had anything to do with the battles. And Nam
(29:46):
nineteen sixty five, our man Freeman one of the best
helicopter pilots, and Nam commanded a sixteen aircraft unit. He
was the captain of Company A. November fourteenth, sixty five,
he and his unit transport a battalion of Americans sollers
to the Ladrange Valley. After getting back to base, they
immediately learned the men dropped them into a haboob, a
(30:07):
Shuman Viet Cong haboob.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I don't know if that's real.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Intense fire. They're taking heavy casualties. He gets to his
helicopter and they say, no, landing zone is closed. Too
much acid's too hot. Freeman, you can't take that copter.
And he says, fine, the hell with you, give me
a huie. But the Huey's got no guns, I don't care.
I can get in there. So he hops in a
(30:34):
hueye unarmed. Fourteen back and forth trips to bring in
supplies am helicoptering the wounded out while flying through heavy fire.
Promoted a major awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. His commanding
officer freaking forgets to nominate him for the Medal of Honor.
So that comes and goes. It's gotta wait until two
(30:56):
thousand and one. George W. Bush East Room of the
White House sit reads in part he supported a heavily
engaged American Infantry bout battalion at landing Zone x RAY
in the Ledrang Valley. When the infantry commander closed the
helicopter landing zone due to intense direct enemy fire. Captain
Freeman risked his own life by flying his unarmed helicopter
through a gauntlet of enemy fire time after time, delivering
(31:17):
critically needed ammunition, water, and medical supplies to the besieged battalion.
After medical evacuation helicopters refused to fly into the area
due to intense enemy fire, Captain Freeman flew fourteen separate
missions providing life saving evacuation to an estimated thirty seriously
wounded soldiers, some of whom would not have survived had
he not acted. After that, they were like, ed, You're cool,
go home, got out. An Am at sixty seven, moved
(31:40):
to Idaho flew the helicopter for the government another twenty
two years fighting wildfires, hurt and wild horses for the
Department of the Interior. Serendipitous p You mentioned we were
soldiers yesterday? You bet your ass ed freeman is part
of We Were Soldiers? Oh wow, played by Mark McCracken.
He would have been ninety seven today. American hero ed
two tall freeman.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
All right, Matt, this is a lighter fair though man.
Not as much Jamaican News. It's Jamaica news Z. One
of the original sing Jays. Matt who stands at six
foot six tall reggae superstar whose music hit California like
(32:24):
a fireball of the eighties and nineties. Born ripped in
Hilton Icham House, six foot six above the world, Let's
listen to him speak. His first songs were produced by
his mathematics tutor. He came up in the sound system
(32:48):
Jamaican legendary Clashes of the seventies in nineteen seventy nine,
his song once a Virgin was a big hit, and
then this one Wa Do Dem was a big hit.
Wa do Dem translates too what do they Do? Also,
(33:09):
bubble Up Your Hip.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Was also a hit, and that translates to move your ass, Yeah,
move your ass.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
In nineteen eighty one, after Bob Marley died and has
said it was ecam Mouse that cheered the morning crowned
with his performance in reggae sun Splash. He had at
least six solid albums Matt like the Mouse and the Man,
or the Mousecutier, Hit and Miss. After that, for a while,
(33:44):
ecam Mouse lived in a cocaine stupor and Hermosa Beach.
It happens where I met him a couple of times,
many legendary performances Matt at Patrick Malloy's. Now they could
not extradite Ecamouse from Amsterdam. Nobody's quite sure why. It
could have been because of the haboob, the ice, the
(34:06):
Icelandic volcanoes. They couldn't extradite him. And then he got
caught in Paraguay, Paraguay, with a without a passport, he
was extra guided, put in jail, pled it down and
got deported back to Jamaica, but spent about half a
year in prison. Okay, he's back in Jamaica, being tall,
(34:30):
although sixty seven years old, and still making music. And
Matten always begs the question who is the mouse and
who is the man?
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Kate's turning up a little bit.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
See he's back now, I mean old no no.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Oh to call back utiful.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
It's very simple, Matt. You know what do damn? What
do they do?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, let's ride.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Ethan Garbers will join us next. But right now it's
time for the top story of the day.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Story of it, you know, p Normally in these parts
we say they never learned. These guys never learn. Why
do you continue to employ individuals who sabotage your franchise,
(03:29):
who take millions of dollars from Eugenie Bus because they
never learn.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
However, tip of the cap today, Oh really, Matt.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Tip of the cap to the Lakers front office, because,
by Jesus, they learned.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
They took their medicine.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
We delivered that medicine as a suppository multiple times last
year and this year after passing on Haimi Hakes because
he was twenty two Maybe becausin I hope not, should
have been one of the reasons why they drafted him.
Maybe they passed on him because he's Mexican American. Maybe
they're racist.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I don't know whoa man Mexican Americans don't appreciate.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
That god son in law's name, Jeff. But the idea
that a twenty two year old or a twenty three
year old has hit their ceiling. Therefore we can't draft
him in the first round. We meet the Hube Brown.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Tup.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Wait a minute, I start to understand. Now you draft
the Mexican American superstar Harbi Haquaz and he outshines old
Lebron Hairnet Lebron. And now you got a.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Problem, right like you got these old guys interesting and
you're chasing top tremendous upside potential.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Huby Brown. We asked him two questions.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
He talked for seventeen minutes, fewest questions answered in a
fifteen plus minute interview in the history of the Petros
and Money Show.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Rivaled only by Bill Walton. God rest his.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Soul, Yes, God forbid, you get a really really good
player who has a chance to contribute to two of
the best players in the league immediately, like Ami Hakez,
who's twenty two, gonna be twenty three. Instead, they take
Jalen hood Schafino, a nineteen year old sensational freshman.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
But everybody knew project tremendous upside.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Potentially he's got size, physicality, but he ain't ready. Hami
hak he's ready. Jalen Hoofino ain't even gonna be a
team next year. A lottery pick that did not get
his third year option picked up is unheard of. But again,
I don't want this to be seen as a hammer
to the Lakers for.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
A top story.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
This is what do you know? You learned something you recognize,
You totally left it up. And when the rest of
the league was busy drafting teenagers, three Frenchmen, a Serb,
a Canadian, you looked at the whitey. You looked at
(06:03):
the white guy that was doing stuff on a basketball court.
He said, all right, if everybody else is going to
pass on these white guys, I'm gonna sign third base.
I'm gonna bring in mc search, and I'm gonna bring
in Pete Nice Because while everyone else may write them off,
I recognize we might be sitting on a platinum record.
(06:25):
I like the way this guy wears a fur coat
down to his ankles, rolls with a cane.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I like the way this guy has something shaving into
the back of his head all the time.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I like the way this Jewish guy has got a
real tight curl and the word a third Base shaved
in the back of his head.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
It's great. You know, he's got perfect air for this.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I'm gonna take a shot on the white guys.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
And not only did they get step into the am,
they got the gas face as well, two bigger hits
Matt and they have reunited. Last week it was announced
Third Base has reunited. And I like to think the
Petros and Money I had a little something to do
with that.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
We didn't hurt.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Nobody was talking about third Base when the Petros Money
Show brought it up last year or earlier this year.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
And now they've reunited.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
The other whites that were taking ahead of connect read
Shepherd at nineteen, Donovan kling In at twenty, Zach Edy
is seven foot four. But the Lakers, they atoned, They
atoned for their sins. They did the Miami heat thing.
They took Dalton connect double transfer, white guy step into
(07:29):
the am twenty three on the day of the draft,
twenty three years old and had half a brain, did
they when they looked around their roster and saw forty
year old Lebron James thirty one year old Anthony Davis,
And we're like, you know what, maybe let's not take
the nineteen year old this time around. Maybe let's take
(07:51):
Maybe let's not take the guy that was an extra
in the air up there from Uzbekistan. Let's just go
what looks like a pretty g damn thing as a
rotation player. And considering, considering he traded blows, that isn't cool.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Man, I don't appreciate it. What I don't appreciate this
at all?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Listen, gotta take a shot.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
He traded blows in one of the most exciting tournament
games between he and Zach Edy. He is a big
time player and big time games and he did not
shrink in the spotlight. So maybe being a Laker won't
be a big deal to him. Maybe Lebron James barking
at him won't face him so much. Since he's twenty
three and he's from North Dakota and he played it
(08:44):
at JC and then Tiney Directional Colorado schools before making
his way to Tennessee. He has earned everything. He earned
it all by being the best player on every team
at every stole, including the SEC Player of the Year.
And to put in perspective, how old twenty three is
(09:08):
for an NBA draft, d LaMelo Ball.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
You're going to inform on the guy I'm talking about,
How old are you?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
LaMelo Ball is six months younger than Dalton connect and
he is already on his max contract. That's how old
twenty three is for an NBA draft. So if you're asking,
how the hell did this guy last until seventeen? Because
people are stupid because they look at someone who is
twenty three again, twenty three years old, and they're like, oh,
(09:38):
that's old.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Now, this guy's over the hill.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
This guy, I don't know about investing in a twenty
three year old. Now.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
This guy looks like Mike Tyson in the ring.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Now, I mean, how much longer are we going to
have this guy around?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
It's twenty three already, crazy talk draft this guy at
number seventeen.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Credit the Lakers, Weed, Yeah, credit.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
The Lakers for accepting the gu that fell into their
lap and not overthinking it for shaming the other sixteen
teams that passed on him. Now, would he be the
number one pick with the draft redone today?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Probably not, but.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Maybe maybe he be top three, top four, And even
if this is all he may never be, it may
maybe if this is all he'll ever be. A guy
that makes six of six threes in the third quarter
and nine overall last night, the Lakers' best three point shooter,
connecting on forty six percent of his attempts, taking eight
(10:33):
shots per game, five of them from behind the arc,
and making damn near half of them. If those numbers,
by the way, these are numbers on the total season,
not just the last four games, when he has been
playing pretty much starter minutes and gone straight up. Berzerker
(10:54):
Memphis thirty one minutes, nineteen points, eighty eight percent shooting, yes,
eighty eight percent, San Antonio fourteen points, twenty six minutes,
fifty five percent shooting, twenty seven points, seven rebounds, fifty
nine percent shooting in thirty seven minutes.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
And then last night's.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Peace their Resistals thirty seven points on seventy five percent
shooting in thirty eight minutes.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Now, how much of a heater.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Is he on?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Well to do the white guy thing. Has Austin Reeves
ever given the Lakers a stretch like this.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
If we're going to do the white guy I think
I'm assuming no.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Yes he has, Okay, all right, yes he has. Perhaps
you remember two years ago in the playoffs, clearly the
most competitive sweep ever. Those four games, Reeves averaged twenty
four points, four rebounds, five assists on fifty five percent shooting.
(11:58):
White guy in the Western Conference finals as a second
year player, undrafted out of Oklahoma. Pretty big school, pretty
big school, just like Tennessee. Not a traditional NCAA basketball power,
but certainly a recognizable program with some big time players
that have played in that uniform in the tournament. Yet
(12:22):
Austin Reeves and his whiteness undrafted, despite well.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
He's no buddy heal theer Blake Griffin.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Right, Yet he put up nineteen six and five in
his senior season. And guess what, Pee, he was a
twenty three year old white guy undraft d and he
slipped through the cracks the guy every single team in
the league.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Do you have to give a credit?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Bad?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I mean you kind of what I'm doing here?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
All right? Okay?
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I'm sorry every team asks for Austin Reeves. When the
Lakers call to exchange ideas for a trade, they say, hey,
can we have a Austin Race? Hello, you could have
had him with the fifty fifth pick the year we
signed him as an undrafted free ation, but God forbid
a twenty three year old white guy have anything to
offer up to an NBA team. After putting together Reeves's
(13:13):
resume in the tournament, the guy put up twenty seven
points on sixty five percent shooting in their second round
loss to Gonzaga and couldn't get a sniff. Couldn't even
be drafted with the fifty fifth pick like Bronnie James,
who's shooting four percent. Twenty three year old white guy
who can shoot, who needs him? Well done, Lakers, Well done,
(13:36):
You learned lesson learned. You effed up the Heimihawkes thing
for the tremendous upside potential of Jalen hood Schaffino. You
didn't even pick up his third year option. And this
year you had a twenty three year old whitey staring
you right in the face and you didn't overthink it.
It helps La Times today and dub writing a story
(14:02):
about Reeves and the connection he made with connect seeing
a little bit of himself an old Dalton.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That he's white. It's going I also see that I'm
white and we're pretty. But there's not a lot of
other white guys.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
So we both got bangs. Both got a side park.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Apparently they made a connection during his senior season when
he was going through a slump, Reeves reached out and said, hey, man,
shoot your shot.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
You keep shooting your shot, and I'm here.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
If you need me anything, you need, you reach out
to me. I'm not going to see you go through
the racist.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Is that what he said?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
The racism that I had to deal with in the draft?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Say that?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
No, I ambellased a little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Was that article? Yeah, I don't feel like I don't
feel like WAK would write that. Well, you know, Mad,
it doesn't feel like lebron James is given Palka any
credit to what he had to say.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
No, they didn't find k the other sixteenth.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh he's so hard he didn't find you.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
He find Bronnie Bronnie was the fourth best player on
his high school basketball team. It fined Bronnie Bronnie average
three points a rebound, an assistant turnovers at USC.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Rodney already very upset with us, said he here's what
you say, here's what I say, and now let him
have it.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Let him have it. Well.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Rich Paul was telling other teams not to draft Bronni
and they were saying, hey, Rich, we got no intention
of drafting the guy. You're good, don't worry about us,
but thanks for the heads up. Somehow Dulton Connect just
slipped through the cracks all the way to pick seventeen.
While the NBA eyes of the world wake up to
find out the Dalton Connect lasted till pick seventeen because
(15:59):
everybody wants to know where Bronnie was going, and it
worked out.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
You think that's what it was, Matt, It was a
diversionary tactic.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
One hundred percent. Look over here, Look over here.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
There's a lot you're making a lot of a lot
of speculation. Here, here's what we're gonna do, racism.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
We're gonna draft the guy who's gonna shoot about nine percent.
He's not gonna have to travel with our G League team.
He's not gonna play, and when he does, it's gonna
look like he's so horribly out of place that people
are gonna think someone got left on the court after
a timeout, fan interaction, fan engagement, well, Matt fan activation.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of
its own.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Congratulations Rob Polinka. Don't get used to it, but we
know you listen to all the callers and stuff. So

Speaker 2 (18:37):
The play caller, the signal caller, Nott True, a real
o g We all remember his days in the state
championship at CDM, A glorious quarterback in Southern California for
some years. Now playing at UCLA. Twenty one hundred yards
(18:58):
fourteen touchdowns. UCLA coming off a tough loss at Washington
last Friday night, snapping one in the streak, but a
chance for Bowl eligibility and the greatest rivalry in all
of college football as far as US Angelino types are concerned,
Joining us right now on your Southern California Toyota Dealers
(19:20):
celebrity hotline, Ethan Garber's I believe for the first time,
at least in a long time. On the Pettersen Money Show, Ethan,
what's Cracklan? How are you happy? Rivalry Week? How's it going?
Speaker 5 (19:33):
I'm good happy rivalry week to you as well. Thanks
for having me.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You sound like a grown man. You know, you sounded
like a speaky little guy last time.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
It's been a couple of years since since we've talked last,
so yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
And it's been great watching you persevere and fight through
adversity and stay committed to UCLA and have your chance
to be the starter and the leader. And it's fun
to watch you guys kind of grow as a team
first and foremost kind of explained to us, what what's
that's been like, kind of growing as a team after
some rough waters early in the year and finding a
(20:11):
way to win football games at a new conference.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Yeah, you know, we started off the year not exactly
how we wanted to. We we played kind of a
tough schedule and had and played some really good teams,
but I just we felt like we were just weren't
clicking as an offense or or as a team early
on in the year. You know, we we still continue
to practice every day hard and and and still got
(20:34):
after it, but yeah, you know, kind of midway through
the season we started to click a little bit. You know,
an unfortunate loss last week, but we're but we're looking
back to to come back strong this week with a
with a great performance on Saturday Night.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
No, it's not a requisite, but it's got to be
kind of nice to have a guy as your head coach,
a leader that's been through it that knows how important
the rivalry is. Has Coach Foster been kind of different
all this week? Is he's stressing the impact that this
has on the city or is he treating it as
another game? It certainly seems like it means a lot
to him.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Yeah. You know, with Coach Foster being former Bruin and
playing in this game, you know this this means a
lot to him, and it means a lot to a
lot of the alumni ut UCLA and a lot of
a lot of players that have played in this game
know what that means. But for him, yes, I would
say it definitely is a special week for all of us.
(21:29):
You know, we know how important this game is, and
we know how important this game is for our goal
of the season, which is to get be eligible. So
we're just looking forward to that opportunity.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Ethan Garber's joining us on the Petro sand Money Show,
of course, of the Garber's UC System quarterbacking family it
is rivalry week, and we are excited to see what
happens in the game. It's always a wild game. How
about you, You've been through a lot of this as
opposed to some of the young guys. It's it's slow
(22:00):
down a little bit for you out there. I would
imagine how do you approach the weeks personally?
Speaker 5 (22:05):
You know, I I kind of For me, I just
I just want to treat it like any other week.
I don't want to make too much of a make
too much of a deal of it. You know. Obviously
I know the history and and the meaning called other
players into my teammates as well, But for me, I'm
just trying to keep it even even keel and and
keep it a normal weak and and go throughout, go
(22:26):
throughout my process.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
I'll tell you what you remember. You remember three touchdowns
last year in a thirty eight to twenty win. That's
what you remember.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
How much, sir?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
How much did did that resonate throughout the offseason? How
big of a deal was it last year that you
guys put that beaten down on USC.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Yeah, it felt great, honestly, you know it was. It
was huge, huge for our team. We're looking we're looking
to do the same thing this year. You know, we're
looking to go out there and and and just give
it our ale and just just play play for each other.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
You know.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
That's that's that's been the big mottol this week.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
You played at Pennon State. This year, you went all
the way out to Rutgers, you went all the way
down to the Bayou, uh and survived being attacked by
gators in LSU. I can't imagine there's anything that you
haven't been through, uh this year. What What has that
been like, that kind of long road when you've been
so used to that PAC twelfth trail in your life.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Yeah, you know, it's Uh, it's it's been interesting for sure,
adjusting with the travel and and the time change and
and playing early games, you know, and honestly seeing all
these cool stadiums. It's been it's been a great experience.
And like you said, I've never really seen anything like
that in the in the PAC twelve. But I know
(23:40):
it's been a lot of fun and and and a
really cool experience.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
What was going so right on the wind streak, you know,
starting with you know, at early kick out out at Rutgers.
Then you go to Lincoln and you get a victory,
you knock off Iowa here kind of it was a
heck of a stretch. What was happening on there that
that you guys seem to find.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Yeah, you know, we just all eleven guys just played
together and there was no We didn't really make any
mental mistakes. You know, we never really got behind the chains,
and most importantly we didn't we didn't turn the ball
over except for the for the for the Iowa game.
But you know, we we played pretty good. We played
pretty good football. So we're just looking to get back
to what we know and and and the way we've
(24:21):
been playing in the past, and we're looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
An O. G. C. King from cdm Ethan Garber's joining
us right now. Obviously Coach Foster is still around and
you're very familiar with him, but a lot of new
people filtering through U c l A since you showed up. Uh.
It's a very familiar place to you though, and I
know you're very comfortable there. How different does it feel
(24:45):
under Coach Foster as opposed to the past and Uh?
And what is it like being a little bit older
and fostering the younger guys? No pun intended through change.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Yeah, No, it's it's been great.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
I've always always had a great relationship with coach Foster,
and I knew, I knew what kind of coach he was.
You know, he's a fellow Orange County guy, but he's uh,
he's great. You know, he's done such a good job
just to keeping us focused, keeping us uh in these
these long practices, you know, just just making sure that
we're we're on we're on top of what we need
(25:20):
to be doing.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
When you were young, Eithan, you're maybe uh playing uh
Pop Warner or Friday Night Lights or even you know,
some freshman football, whatever it may be, do you remember
the rivalry? Like, is there anything that sticks out to
you Brett Hunley and Jim Moore, like anything in particular
that you what do you what do you remember about
this rivalry when you were a young football playing kid.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
No, I you hit it right on the head. I
remember exactly Brett Hunley, Jim Mora, I remember Miles Jack, Uh,
those guys, Anthony Barr just kind of that that uh,
that that wave of Bruins just kind of coming up.
That's that's what I remember from my childhood. And I
just remember I always see I love I love watching
(26:05):
games in the Rose Bowl too. You know, it's such
a beautiful stadium and it looks so cool.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
But yeah, all right, Ethan, how often do you get
down to the beach at Corona del Mar and light
of fire with old that tight end Redmond and Humphries
was at his name, the long receiver, you know, all
those guys that you won the state championship with and
sit around and wear your letterman's jackets and talk about
how awesome the Sea Kings were when you were a
(26:32):
young man. Do you have time for that sort of thing?
Speaker 5 (26:36):
I haven't had time recently in the past, but I
would say probably last year or probably the start of
this year. You know, there was definitely some time for that.
We always, we always keep in touch that that team.
You know, we got a great, great group of guys.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Well, you got a great group of guys this year
as well, and you're taking the field with them on
Saturday night. Good luck to you, Ethan Garber's. We appreciate
you joining the show, and stay healthy out there and
we will talk to you again. Congratulations on all your

Speaker 4 (28:00):
Got a meaty meat got a big meaty segment coming
up until six thirty when Adam Oslin has the pregame
You're dead guy Pee. We are on the precipice, the
precipice of Vietnam Christmas, beating out Dwayne Ullman. It was
an easy choice. Vietnam Christmas ed too tall. Freeman Okay
born in Neely, Mississippi, sixth of nine kids.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Vietnam doesn't seem like a place you'd want to be
super tall, you know, especially to say Tommy in.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
History, especially considering what Ed wanted to do. Being too
tall is why he got his nickname Too Tall. Said
he knew he wanted to be a soldier from the
time he was single digits seventeen and at WW two
he says, I gotta get in Korean War rolls around. Yeah,
he's a sergeant. He's in the Corps of Engineers. But
they say, Freeman, we need you in the infantry. Man,
(28:49):
muscle beaches. Now poork Chop Hill. And if you are
listening and a descendant of Ed too Tall Freeman, you
point to the sky and you can sit yourself blessed.
Why pork Chop Hill man. That's why he was sent
in the initial opening stages of the battle. Two hundred
and fifty seven men went up, fourteen came back.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Goddamn Ed was one of them.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Jeez right, they make them second lieutenant because everybody's dead.
They put him in command to B company, the next
wave that's got to go up pork Chop Hill and.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
He's like, all right, whatever, let's go.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Yeah. He wanted to be a pilot, and with the
advancement he was able to become a pilot. But at
six foot four, they were like, hey, you're too tall, dude.
But in nineteen fifty five they relaxed those restrictions and
he's like, cool, I want to fly helicopters. I think
helicopters had anything to do with the battles. And Nam
(29:46):
nineteen sixty five, our man Freeman one of the best
helicopter pilots, and Nam commanded a sixteen aircraft unit. He
was the captain of Company A. November fourteenth, sixty five,
he and his unit transport a battalion of Americans sollers
to the Ladrange Valley. After getting back to base, they
immediately learned the men dropped them into a haboob, a
(30:07):
Shuman Viet Cong haboob.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I don't know if that's real.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Intense fire. They're taking heavy casualties. He gets to his
helicopter and they say, no, landing zone is closed. Too
much acid's too hot. Freeman, you can't take that copter.
And he says, fine, the hell with you, give me
a huie. But the Huey's got no guns, I don't care.
I can get in there. So he hops in a
(30:34):
hueye unarmed. Fourteen back and forth trips to bring in
supplies am helicoptering the wounded out while flying through heavy fire.
Promoted a major awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. His commanding
officer freaking forgets to nominate him for the Medal of Honor.
So that comes and goes. It's gotta wait until two
(30:56):
thousand and one. George W. Bush East Room of the
White House sit reads in part he supported a heavily
engaged American Infantry bout battalion at landing Zone x RAY
in the Ledrang Valley. When the infantry commander closed the
helicopter landing zone due to intense direct enemy fire. Captain
Freeman risked his own life by flying his unarmed helicopter
through a gauntlet of enemy fire time after time, delivering
(31:17):
critically needed ammunition, water, and medical supplies to the besieged battalion.
After medical evacuation helicopters refused to fly into the area
due to intense enemy fire, Captain Freeman flew fourteen separate
missions providing life saving evacuation to an estimated thirty seriously
wounded soldiers, some of whom would not have survived had
he not acted. After that, they were like, ed, You're cool,
go home, got out. An Am at sixty seven, moved
(31:40):
to Idaho flew the helicopter for the government another twenty
two years fighting wildfires, hurt and wild horses for the
Department of the Interior. Serendipitous p You mentioned we were
soldiers yesterday? You bet your ass ed freeman is part
of We Were Soldiers? Oh wow, played by Mark McCracken.
He would have been ninety seven today. American hero ed
two tall freeman.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
All right, Matt, this is a lighter fair though man.
Not as much Jamaican News. It's Jamaica news Z. One
of the original sing Jays. Matt who stands at six
foot six tall reggae superstar whose music hit California like
(32:24):
a fireball of the eighties and nineties. Born ripped in
Hilton Icham House, six foot six above the world, Let's
listen to him speak. His first songs were produced by
his mathematics tutor. He came up in the sound system
(32:48):
Jamaican legendary Clashes of the seventies in nineteen seventy nine,
his song once a Virgin was a big hit, and
then this one Wa Do Dem was a big hit.
Wa do Dem translates too what do they Do? Also,
(33:09):
bubble Up Your Hip.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Was also a hit, and that translates to move your ass, Yeah,
move your ass.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
In nineteen eighty one, after Bob Marley died and has
said it was ecam Mouse that cheered the morning crowned
with his performance in reggae sun Splash. He had at
least six solid albums Matt like the Mouse and the Man,
or the Mousecutier, Hit and Miss. After that, for a while,
(33:44):
ecam Mouse lived in a cocaine stupor and Hermosa Beach.
It happens where I met him a couple of times,
many legendary performances Matt at Patrick Malloy's. Now they could
not extradite Ecamouse from Amsterdam. Nobody's quite sure why. It
could have been because of the haboob, the ice, the
(34:06):
Icelandic volcanoes. They couldn't extradite him. And then he got
caught in Paraguay, Paraguay, with a without a passport, he
was extra guided, put in jail, pled it down and
got deported back to Jamaica, but spent about half a
year in prison. Okay, he's back in Jamaica, being tall,
(34:30):
although sixty seven years old, and still making music. And
Matten always begs the question who is the mouse and
who is the man?
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Kate's turning up a little bit.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
See he's back now, I mean old no no.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Oh to call back utiful.
