Speaker 3 (01:02):
Lit Are you sad? Matt? Did you catch a case
of the sads for Madam Osland sad? Like that? Because
Chris Paul got sent home and it was supposed to
be a farewell tour, no beautiful proportions.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I would love to say that I am sad because
of that, but instead it is just the opening, the
reopening of an old wound from my time at camp.
Won a punch of puzzo when I was sent home.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
When you got sent home for setting the chants on fire.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Sean Rashke's tent on fire, I want to touch it.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
You know, some people are glad they got sent home
for camp.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Want to touch the touch of puzzo. Maybe it wasn't
getting sent home. Getting sent home was my salvation.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Think a bit like that, man, you know, just think
of all the bad things that didn't happen exactly. We
got Clippers Hawks. The Clippers are like five and sixteen.
The Hawks have won thirteen games. Pregame at three point thirty,
tip off four thirty one am five seventy is Matt said.
And tomorrow we'll start it too, because the Cowboys will
be at Ford Field in Detroit. I got this text
(02:10):
that says about Adam's sadness. He's tired, it's late, he's depressed,
cat ass everywhere, and it still sounds cleaner than Fred.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yes it does, indeed it does.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
We'll have a top story of the day in the very.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I'm guessing, oh, come on, this has to do with
the cryptic message and maybe some conduct detrimental to the team.
I don't know, personalities clashing. Yeah, he was frustrated with
his role. I'm not sure, rus sure, but this is
(02:52):
truly shocking.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
It's two am when he's doing that. Ah, and when
you watch on his YouTube page, there's like, you know, look,
Adam's cultivated a pretty darn good following on Clippers Talk.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Adam is a serious and real LA radio sports personality.
There's no doubt about that. No one's tried to say
he's not. But man, the cat's asses everywhere.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Tank top and a cat's ass TOOKO get out of here.
But there's a lot of people in the comments section.
There's like sixty seventy people that are commenting while it's.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
A big story. That's why he got up there at him. Hey,
and all we're doing is bringing attention to it.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Doesn't anybody around here work?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Does he not sound sad?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
This is shocking. This is unbelievable. Tuco get out of here,
all right?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
It is time for the word of his words, the
word of the day. He does sound a little bit
to me like Sergio Dip in that hotel.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, you know he does.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
He comes back to the Clippers his career. He's retiring
after this season and he's no longer with the team.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
See. I never know if Adam's actually just that dramatic
pause or if case his pause.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Incredible, incredible, I see it's trending. Now, Okay, let's see
Ramona showbur and put something up. Mark Spears, all right,
it's Marcus.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
It's not Marcus Spears.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Right, he's the football guy.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
We accidentally called him Marcus and Michael Eaves accused us
of something terrible.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yes, that's right, Marcus is the football guy from the Compoys.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Did you say that? I don't recall what you're talking about, Michael.
The word of the day, Matt. We often tell stories
of animals. My favorite one ever is the kangaroo that
kicked the Australian lady in the chest and pop both
their boobs both. But this one's from Virginia, where there
(05:10):
were reports of a break in at a liquor store.
Officer rolled up to see a bunch of liquor bottles
smashed all over the floor and in the bathroom a
completely passed out drunk raccoon. The cops did what they
do with drunk people is exactly the same thing they
(05:34):
do is with the raccoon. They let the raccoons sleep
it off at a shelter and then released it back
into the wild. And I'm pretty sure that's what they
do with drunk people ever. You know, that's even if
they broke into a liquor store. I mean, they might
book them, but eventually they're just going to release them
back out in the wild, right like with the drunk hobos.
(05:56):
There is no CCTV footage of the raccoon getting drunk,
apparently because the raccoon fell in through the ceiling and
took out the camera on the way down before imbibing.
And it wasn't wine or the beer section. It was
the stiff liquor stacks action. Oh yeah, and the raccoon
(06:17):
was absolutely destroyed. So the liquor store has got to
wear the breakage, just like the clippers have got to wear.
The aftermath of what they did to Chris Pod was shocking.
This is shocking. They sent him home. I'm not in
an Atlanta hotel room.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
This is I'm not suicidal, Okay, saying Chris Paul future
Hall of Famer, I expected to be the first Clipper
to get his jersey retired one day. Getting waved at
this stage is one of the most astonishing things I've
seen covered in this league. I've seen covering this league.
(06:58):
That's oh, I mean this is.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
That's astonishing.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Whom most people associate the Clippers with is the best
player ever. I can't believe this to.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Go God, it is just painful. Wow. Time for the
number of the day.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Here's my number.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Number of the day. Number of the day.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Pee is zero three one eight. If you are a
skateboarding fan, or maybe just a fan of Japanese television
shows and the wacky competitions they do, you know where
people get punched in the poots regularly kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
That's my favorite one yes, punched in the poots.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
The Casso or Cassol zero three one eight is a
very popular YouTube channel, a very pop Instagram feed that
I've been found for a while. I've reposted some of
their stuff. They basically do like think of like wipeout
sort of obstacle courses, but with professional skateboarders, where instead
(08:13):
of just you know, navigating a ramp or a street
course they are trying to do you know, rails or
grinds or you know airs over water or some sort
of other man made out of air over water. Yes,
like you know pop airs off ramps over water. And
(08:33):
they have chosen they they basically you know, they're in Japan,
but they choose remote locations from time to time. It's
all been in Asia. It's China and that's our Korea.
But they just announced that for twenty twenty six, you know,
to heck with you World Cup and Olympics in twenty
twenty eight, they have selected the city of Long Beach
(08:55):
as their host city for the twenty twenty six CASSO.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
So that's exciting, are you very well?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
They said they're partnering with the city, that the city
gave them a sweet plot of land that they're going
to be able to create their course and move some
earth around to try to get in tune with the
natural surroundings. So if you're into that sort of thing,
if you're into the skateboard and you don't know about CASSO,
check it out. I'm jealous that you get to watch
all of these for the first time. The stuff is great,
(09:22):
and keep your eyes out, something I think would certainly
fit right down the d as you like to say
for the Petros and Money Show. Something we'd be into
guys being humiliated. They rack their balls on the rails
and things like that, you know, and they're trying to
navigate these courses while also exhibiting incredible dexterity and focus
(09:46):
as they try to get to the finish line. So
that's coming some point. I think it's going to be
early twenty twenty six is what they're talking about. Like
spring twenty twenty six is when this thing might be
here in Long Beach.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Kas might hire you, Matt or do you think they'll
probably go with that Asian guy.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I think they'll probably go, well, I don't know. Oh,
you know, you'd like to think you come here, you know,
higher you could tell him that, you know, showy show. Hey,
oh Tommy, Tonny, you could say honey, and I also
know courtesy of Chris Collinsworth Marcus Mario Tah.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Congratulations to the city of Long Beach forgetting the casto stuff.
Super cool, Ronnie, This is the song of the day.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Yea Atlanta Rhythm Section is a Southern rock band from Doraville,
Georgia with our song of the day, a yacht rock
classic from the year nineteen seventy seven titled Sew Into
You Because today the Petros and Money Show is into
a two and a half hour flex alert with the
(10:52):
Clippers in Atlanta trying to find their rhythm after an
ugly chain of events and a five game losing streak
to boot looking for some sort of direction to ensure
a win against the Hawks at State Farm Arena, which
means that Adam Oslin will be swooping in, hopefully in
a better frame of mind for that count show for
(11:14):
the Clippers that begins this afternoon at three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
We'll get into.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
So I'll just believe it retires number. We'll be right
back with the top story of the day. Hang in there, everybody,
it's a we just won't be defeated Wednesday, let's go.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy l a sports podcast on the
iHeartRadio app using Apple car Play or Android Auto road
Trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Its cracking. Everybody Happy December, It's Petro send money. You're
home of the back to back World Series champion LA
Dodgers as am II seventy LA Sports. We're on Early today,
We're on Early tomorrow at two o'clock. If you get
in your car and the show's just ending or it's
not on, you can always go to the iHeartRadio app
(12:26):
and listen to our clean ass microphones on the podcast.
It's available right in the.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Car and you here somebody talking. You know it's not
our show. That's right, We're trying to trim the trees.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
It's on the iHeartRadio app and it sounds great streaming
live or podcasted there. It's time to start the story of.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Doing NaNs today. P it's a Wednesday. Normally we would
do NaN's that is U Nance NFL News and hence
the double n Nan at the start, so I guess
it would be Nick shortened that last end. Start with
this now we have because we're old and cranky. Not
(13:14):
me regularly lamented the rise of the streaming service. It's
nice's horse crap. Yeah, and there are there's many things
that are upsetting about the streaming service. Is one hard
to keep track of.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
All of them. Peacock I'm not getting it peacock.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I mentioned I did threaten to cancel when they wanted
to renew after my prior year cost me twelve ninety
nine for twelve months at one sixty nine ninety nine
for twelve months, and then I said, Noah, I'm good,
I'll just cancel. How about nineteen ninety nine. We then
had a listener hu on the text also say ha,
you're a sucker for paying twenty bucks. I just signed
(13:56):
up with my wife's email and I got it for
twelve ninety nine. So there are ways around that, but
it is annoying. It's annoying to continually have to go
to your home screen on your TV or on your
streaming stick of choice Amazon Fire, Roku Stick or Chrome stick,
whatever it is, and it takes a while before you
even Back in the day, because I am of such
(14:18):
an age, we had to stand up and walk to
the console and turn that damn dial.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It was quick. That was That was when life was hard. No,
come on, your weak child, hands were weak in the
morning and you couldn't turn that knob.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I gotta get the see to watch the New Zoo review.
It's a pain in the ass. But the thing that
chaps my ass the most is that I'm pain. I
am paying a subscription. I give you fifteen bucks a
month or however much money it is per month, Netflix, Hulu,
(14:55):
Paramount plus, Peacock, Fox Nation plus, whatever it is, and
you're still peppering me with commercials. Like if I'm paying
you twenty bucks a month, that's your revenue stream. That's
where you're making your money. It is subscription based. I
(15:15):
should not be peppered with commercials. And now you're double dipping.
You're getting a subscription fee from me, and you're getting
all this money from advertisers. You want to hear me
with commercials on the Peacock, Well, then you ain't charging
me anything. I'm watching the commercials and that's how you're
making the money.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
That seems fair, mad, But they're losing so much money
sinking all this money into these streaming services. They're losing
so much kremata, as we would say, they have to
shove those commercials like we have those nine minute commercial
breaks right now. That's right.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
And remember the term losing so much money is relative
to them absolutely cleaning house on carriage fees when they
used to force us to pay one hundred and fifty
bucks a month for cable, and they were just getting
like six bucks ahead per home when you had to
buy everything, and they were rolling in dough even though
I never watched the you know, kneading dough channel, that
(16:12):
was getting any sense for my head.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I pay for Boomerang, but I don't pay for Disney
XD and it doesn't come on anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
There you go. So understand, when I say this, I
recognize it will sound a little hypocritical based on the
prior rant, but I wanted to get that out of
the way because we have complained about it in the
past and I don't want it to come back to be, oh, well,
you said this back, because so I'm saying it right now.
And I say this while acknowledging what I.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Just went through. I said what I said.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
The amount of pushback that the Red Zone channel is
getting for running commercials seems a little bit misplaced. And
understand I'm I love The Red Zone with Andrew Ceciliano.
When it first showed up on my direct I thought
(17:02):
it was freaking ingenius and must watch TV if you
were a football fan, to just have in the background
and compelling. And then the NFL launched their own version
with Scott Hansen, who pukes all over every broadcast. Despite
it already having a play by play and analyst team
there to guide you through what's going on, he yet
(17:23):
has to contribute his own play by play and analysis.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Hey, there would be he he brings you. He might
as well be cranking an old timey car rank or
to start a propeller on a plane, because that is
how vital he is to that Red Zone and ipecially
that without him you'd have nothing.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Because he's not a professional play by play man and
doesn't understand economy of words while he's still talking about
a play from the previous game, even though the Red
Zone channel has already shifted to another game. Yet he's
still trying to provide closure from the previous play that
we just watched and could have had Andrew Catalan and
Charles Davis described for us. But there is a massive
(18:10):
uproar online about the fact that this year Red Zone
added commercials and it was always advertised as eight hours
of commercial free football and that is no longer the case,
or six hours, I think, right, because it starts at
ten am till one and then one until four, so
it's essentially, we'll call it seven hours, probably half hour
(18:31):
ahead of it, half hour after in case some games
are going right, so we'll call it seven hours of
commercial free. The Red Zone channel has added four minutes
and forty seconds of commercials for seven hours of programming.
(18:51):
And the commercials and the reason why I set it
up the way I did and say, this is exactly
what Peacock should be doing to me, double boxing. You
want to charge me a subscription fee, well, then you're
gonna double box, and I'm gonna watch my original content
as you're trying to jam sky Rizzy down my throat
to the left of the programming screen and I can
(19:12):
maybe pay attention to it, or I can maybe not.
And of those four minutes and forty seconds, two minutes
are just banner ads that are at the bottom, like
we see on EPL games when they just throw that
up on the bottom and it's like try this Cadbury
honeycomb sort of thing, like whatever, the game is still on,
(19:32):
I don't lose anything from the soccer match that I'm watching.
There's just a banner on the bottom that's telling me
to try crumble. Fine, so everything is relative. I get
that you don't want your red zone interrupted for four
minutes and forty seconds. But if two minutes and forty
seconds of that takes me away from Hansen puking all
(19:54):
over the Panthers Bucks game while it's already shifted to
Eagles bills, I'm actually okay with getting fifteen seconds of
that overweight lady dancing in the middle of the street
talking to me about ozempic.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Hey, that's what a normal woman looks like.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Okay, well, I think they made her overweight because of ocempicing. Everything.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Nothing is everything.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
That's one second news and note.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
So that news and note is Scott Hansen socks and
the red zone commercials aren't that bad.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I'm just it's four minutes and forty seconds out of
seven hours. Like you want to get upset about something.
Get upset about the fact that Paramount Plus is charging
you thirteen bucks a month and still feeding you commercials
four minutes at a time.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
How about that your city in one place for seven hours.
There's that start being upset about.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
That's a great point. Second thing, this I'm a big
fan of and I can only hope it ends one way.
Finalists were announced today for the coaching category. And the
contributor category for the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame,
not the NFL Hall of Fame, the Pro Football Hall
of Fame, I believe is what it is.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Called, the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Yeah, it's not
not the one with the golden jacket.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yes, the gold jacket where we were earlier this year
in Canton to play the Hall of Fame game. It's
a beautiful hall of Fame. If you're a fan of football,
I'd recommend going the contributor category. Remember last year, I
believe Don Coriel was inducted. It's people like that that
get put in. This year's finalist for the first time
(21:31):
after not making the cut and being put to the
ballot is Robert Kraft. Despite his lobbying panel of like
twenty hangers on and ne'er Dowell's pushing the Pro Football
Writers and those that vote on this particular category to
induct the owner of the New England Patriots, whose ownership
(21:54):
has you know, had some highs. He's the guy that
saved the Patriots from moving to Saint Louis. Victor Kayan
was going to move him there.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Everybody gets into the NFL helfa Hall of fame put
him in.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
D Craft has been trying for eighteen years and has
not been able, has not been enshrined yet. Bill Belichick
is your coaching finalist. He is going to get in
on the first ballot. There is no way this doesn't
end incredibly, because either Belichick is going to get in,
(22:24):
Kraft is not, and his stupid Netflix documentary that piles
on Belichick for being a jerk and says Craft, not Brady,
not Belichick, was the real mastermind of this whole thing.
He will either be on stage with Belichick and have
to get in with him, and all of his interviews
(22:46):
on what should be his greatest moment of glory in
his NFL ownership career will be marred by repeated questions
and now I'm living in a nightmare will be more
by questions about Bill Belichick and what it means to
go in with Bill and how the pair is inseparable,
and how there's no success on the Patriots without Bill
(23:07):
and without Robert Kraft and without the or he still
does not get in because they're like, eh, not really
that great of an owner. You just had a great
coach and a great quarterback. And Belichick gets in of
course on the first ballot, and he's got to deal
with that. Either way, I feel like we win. It
should be kind of funny. I can't decide what's better,
(23:28):
right which when I'm not in.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Any Hall of fame and when I can say about that.
My official quote to the New England media making a
push for Craft is nothing is everything.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Nothing is everything. And finally, Pete, I don't know if
you've seen this, because I know you follow the Big
I don't know. He somehow has a Pittsburgh thing in
there where it's like ahhjhn. It's like either the Big
Ban podcast or something like that. But Ben Roethlisberger has
a podcast.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Oh he does.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, and today or yesterday, one of the two, I
can't remember. He decided to weigh in on the Mike
Tomlin conversation. That's too it's become an annual.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
It's getting loud.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I think it's fair to say it's become an annual.
Should they part ways? Well, you can't fire him, he's
just he's too decorated. A coach means too much to
the organization to.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Fire him means too much to football.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Yes, but could you have a mutual party of ways? Hey,
this is good for you. This is as good for
you as it is for us. And I think we
just need a new voice and you need a new challenge.
They have not won a playoff game since twenty seventeen.
They are currently six and six. It is not a
surprise that Aaron Rodgers would be the saboteur that ultimately
gets Mike Tomlin shoved out of town. But Big Ben
(24:44):
on the Rathlisberger or the Big Band or something like
that podcast dropped this little nugget pee and I thought
you would maybe like to weigh in on it. Oh
saying that, look, they're going to build a statue of
Tomlin outside. He's a Hall of Fame coach, he won
a Super Bowl, no losing seasons, but probably a new
(25:05):
start for each is what's best for the Steelers and
for coach Tomlin, for whom he has a great deal
of respect. And he said, I think the best move
for Mike is to stay in the state of Pennsylvania
and become the next head coach penn State. WHOA WHOA
about that?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
That would save penn State for me? Humiliated right by
Klate Sataki and now Brian Brahm and Bob Chesney from
Assumption and the Singing Monks and Regina Salve.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Right now, you got Mike Tomlin coming to town. He
should be able to flip some recruits. I don't even
know if you can do that anymore.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
If they're all called they flip like eggs.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Blipitty flip flippity flip, Get some nil guys. Kind of
makes sense, although would Penn State want to wait until
the second week of January to hire their head coach?
I don't know what the hell they gained between now
and then.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Hired someone fifty recruiting class.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah, the whole recruiting class letting like two dudes coming in,
So it's not like you're changing that, So what the hell? Man,
Just wait it out, go get Tomlins. Seems like that's
a win for everyone. Wow, Roethlisberger with a how about that?
With a valuable nugget a talking point to be used
doesn't often happen. Way to go big Bed. I wish
(26:23):
I could remember the name of his podcast, because it's
like aaa h n. You know that's the way those
ions it is footballin' h l I N footballing Frick
Van Roethlisberger.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
We'll be right back with your Dead and a live
guy Bert the other day, and then we'll do the
final hour fun fact and quick hits, and then we'll
say good night. So you could listen to the dysfunction
of the Clippers indeed, because that is today's story, Clippers dysfunction.
If you don't believe us, you could hear Ai too,
(27:00):
Kate say it during the promos.
Speaker 1 (27:09):

We just won't be defeated Wednesday. We've covered a lot
of ground. Sergio dip Hotel apology like Adam Oslin late
at night lamenting to Chris Paul Trade Tuco and his
cat's ass, the one and only James Worthy, Matt saying
(27:59):
four minutes come rus hate that bad in seven hours
and saying that Robert Kraft might not be that great
of an owner, which I can't believe anybody would ever say.
We've had a lot of great conversation, a lot of camaraderie,
a lot of great sports talk, and I'm glad that
the theme of the show has not been like yesterday's
(28:21):
theme of the show, which is how bad friends Mike is.
It's not professional And speaking of professional, man, we got
some professional sports coming up tonight and tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
You want to call it that. Tonight Clippers Hawks, tomorrow
loser gets booted from the postseason. According to some cowboys
at lions Ford Field. You were just there, Pete. You
know what it's like in there?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Yeah, it wasn't snowing. I was really happy, right. It
had a big, beautiful booth with its own bathroom, so
I was even more happy about that.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Did you find it to feel like it's a little
bit dark in there?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yeah? There were well, man, you know, there was dark
imprisoning me. But there are windows. What did you see,
absolute or I was worried about my fly being canceled,
but there are windows in the corners. In the corners,
all right, Matt, your dead guy, Birthday of the Day,
Connie Boswell would have been one hundred and eighteen today,
(29:19):
very famous jazz singer about a generation before Your Elephantz
Jeralds and Billie Hollidays and Sarah Vaan's. Connie Boswell born
in kc but raised in New Orleans, like Ronnie Fossio.
Ronnie Fossio, a bare knuckles fighter in New Orleans, considered
(29:40):
one of the great female jazz vocalists of her time. Connie,
being from Ronnie's five oh four down toward the levee,
came up listening to Mammy Smith Smith, who was her
major influence. Also a big influence on Matt because she
was Matt's grandmother.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yeah, my Mammy, And.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
That's what the song Mammy's Little Baby Loves shortening Bread
because Matt just love it.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I love being a good shortbread cookie.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Connie performed with her sisters, Martha and Vett short for
Hell Visha, and they were good, the Boswell sisters. They
went from New Orleans to Chicago in the twenties. She
married the part owner of Decca Records and was married
to him her whole life. She went to la with
(30:32):
the sisters and then New York in nineteen thirty and
they became a radio sensation, and she became a radio star.
She even had her own radio show in the forties.
Connie sang in a wheelchair or seated because her legs
were weak due to a bout with polio when she
(30:56):
was four. The public did not know her addition, though
she did not keep it a secret. People just no
one ever said, like, hey, what you tell he's in
a chair, kind of like FDR During World War Two.
Speaking of that, she was turned down for USO tours,
(31:17):
which she tried to go on, because the USO thought
seeing her in a wheelchair would bring down the troops morale.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Oh yeah, you know, I can say, how.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
About, you know, inspire the troops because she's out there
belting it out with her polio legs. Anyway, she had
many solo hits and three big hit duets with her
often singing partner Bing Crosby. Not exactly a lightweight, matt
(31:48):
It turned out to be a very abusive father. The
Boswell sisters are still celebrated and revered in the city
of New Orleans, which is evidenced by Ronnie Fossio's Vet
Boswell tattoo. There is a breed of Bogonias, named after
Connie Boswell. She had no kids, but she was married
(32:17):
to the same record executive her whole life. She died
at sixty eight. Connie Boswell a fabulous jazz sanger.

podcast at two am after a tragedy.
