Did you know the speaking of the Hollywood Pantage Just
just up the road, The blinking light atop the Capitol
Records Tower spells out the word Hollywood in Morse code
and has done so since the building first opened all
the way back in nineteen fifty six.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah. Some think that it's giving you coordinates on where
to buy math, but it no longer has to do
that because you can pretty much buy method anyway in Hollywood.
It's a great place. Great to get over there to
Hollywood and see the people that are passed out but
they're standing up, but their legs are working, but their
upper torsos like all fluoned over. Yeah, it's a real
(03:30):
home run over there. See you over at the time
for quickeads tms quickets.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I'll make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah. Well, the Dodgers, as we have been discussing, are
revving up started again stateside tonight there in Anaheim taking
on the Angels in the second game of the Freeway Series,
first pitches at six oh five. We know all about that.
We talked to Dave in the first hour. The real
concern is Mookie bats who's been sick now for a while,
(04:06):
sick to his stomach. Supposed to play last night but
was scratched because of that. He's battling some serious gastro
intestinal problems. Here's Mooki after the game last night, talking
with David Vassay about what's going on.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I don't think anybody really knows. I mean, it's just
you know, you go, you weigh your weigh yourself, and
you weigh one hundred and fifty pounds, I mean, and
before I left Spring, I was one seventy five. And
so you know, it's it's a balance because I guess
my stomach is really aggravated, and so it's hard to
just not eat, you know, especially come you can't come
(04:42):
to work and just not eat. And you know, you
know how I am. I'm practicing all day and and
my body's just kind of eating itself, and so it's
hard to not fuel it. And so every time, literally
every time I fuel my body, I throw it up.
And there's I don't know, and I don't know what
to do about it.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
When was the last time you were able to have
a meal and keep it down? And are you taking
IVS to kind of supplement.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
That I've only gotten IVY in Tokyo. I got a
two leaders of IVY in Tokyo. But to answer your question,
I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Every time I've eaten, I've thrown up. So it's it's
hopefully I can hold something down, you know, tomorrow, tonight, Tomorrowland,
I'm scared to eat, So I don't really know what
to do.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Have the doctors diagnosed it.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
No, I mean there's my vidols. Everything is come back
clean to you know, blood tests. Everything is come back
really really clean healthy. So I guess it's just something
with my stomach being really aggravated. And so I'm just
started in some new medicine now to try and calm
my stomach down.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Mookie, if you wouldn't have been if you did not
vomit today, would you have felt strong enough to play?
How strong do you feel to even try to play
major league game?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I mean yeah, you know, even though I'm light, I
mean I would still play. You know, I didn't throw
it a it throw up the day absolutely I was
in there. I mean, I had a great day yesterday,
but I didn't eat literally all day yesterday, and so
I figured, you know, give myself a day of not
eating and then to come in and play a major
league game and not eat. It's kind of hard to fathom.
(06:22):
And so I ate breakfast this morning and threw it up.
So kind of is what it is.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I mean, at twenty four hour flu is a bad deal,
and you are wishing like death upon yourself when you're
going through it and you're on the toilet for the
seventh time in eight minutes.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Praying to the porcela of God for ten.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Days, I mean, damn, that is miserable.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
What Bowling Alley did he go to?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Hey, you know what they say about that Bowling Alley food?
You get that, not your cheese out of that freaking machine.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I mean, what happened is porn, mookie. It's not funny,
not funny. The Clippers are forty at thirty one, and
they have won eight of their last ten. They're but
they lost to shake Gilgess Alexander last night. I'm sure
maybe we'll have some NBA talk. I was alerted to
some NBA talk, it's coming up. They're in New York
on Wednesday to take on the Knicks, and that could
(07:13):
be the last AM five to seventy Clipper game of
the season as they're headed straight into the mouth of
Uncle Sam. On AM eleven to fifty, the American style
Yankee top hat will be the hat that the Clippers
are wearing.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Hey, get your way up the dial there eleven to
fifty adam oslind Carlow compelling Clipper conversation and the final
ten games of the season. Will we get a rogue
Monday Thursday opportunity? Probably not?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Probably not?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Probably not?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Four thirty tip on seventy. Like we said, there are
sixteen teams left in the NCAA tournament, with seven from
the SEC. As a Southern American, you said something that
got up underneath much. How many for the Big ten?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Me?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Well, come on, man, how many times we're going to
pass the ball before we How many time we're gonna
pass the ball before we shoot it? Four? How many
for the Big twelve? Also? Four? Acc has Duke.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Those are the Big four.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
As Clark Killogg almost kind of lectured us a little bit,
and I was like, is this gonna be a deal
where like half these teams are out by the time
we talk to you again next week. And he's like, hey,
they earned it. Okay, those fourteen SEC teams earned it.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Well, they earned the nil money from their donors to
earn the players. And you know, look, you take the
good with the bad. But in the world of hey,
these guys need to make money and we need to
find a way to make more money for these guys,
which is great, Okay, that's happening. The people that have
money are the ones that have the players, and you
don't get your Cinderella's, at least not this year. It
(08:59):
looks like you got to take the good with the
bad when it comes to the nil.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Era, Yeah, they're all they're all on the Power Conference
teams now it's like, oh yeah that dude, yeah he
was at IONA. Oh that guy, Yeah, that guy was
at FAU, so was that guy and that guy. And
there's just the double digit seed's got no chance anymore
because they get raided, which is fun.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
All the sports riders that were whining for all these
guys to get paid are the same people that are
whining that there's no more Cinderellas. It's like, okay, guys,
you know you caused all this. I mean, I'm not
saying it's bad, but you can't have it both ways.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
It made your bed. Now go to sleep.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Iona is broke. We're month one month away from the draft.
Matt's going back. Rodney sending Matt back to the draft.
Wherever you're going to Green Bay. The Tennessee Titans are
on the clock with the number one overall. The Raiders
have the number six. We get into this all the time.
The Chargers have the twenty second overall pick, and the
(09:56):
Rams select twenty six. We got a bot. The US
men's national team lost to Canada last night. Winalda did
not make a film outside of a nice restaurant or bar.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I believe he gave his phone to somebody else and said,
under no circumstances are you to give this phone back
to me, No matter how much I beg and plead
for you to take a video. He dropped his phone
in a class of walks. No matter what I'm gonna
be cause here's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna ask you
for it. I'm gonna beg you for it. I'm gonna say,
take this video, and you're gonna say no. You know
(10:32):
I'm gonna do it. You know who did chime in,
though it was Landon Donovan. He filled the void of
Eric Noll, the former US national team member blasting Team
USA quote, I'm so sick of here and how talented
this group of players is and all the amazing clubs
they play for. If you aren't gonna show up and
actually give it about playing for your national team, yeah,
(10:55):
beep it. Decline the invite. Talent is great, Pride is better.
That's what I was gonna say. You should have given
me the phone.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Talent is great. He is a great broadcaster. He can
do it all.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Two guys. You don't have to just talk to him
about soccer. He loves talking about the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Tiger Woods put several weeks of speculation to bet on
Sunday as he announced his relationship with Vanessa Trump, Donald
Trump Junior's ex wife. In a post on X love
is in the air and life is better with you
by my side, Woods wrote, whenever I think of Woods
talking to a chick, I think of those puzzo pictures
he took and said to the skier lady personal. Yes,
(11:37):
they were very personal. That's a nice big birth of
their brother. We look forward to our journey through life Togain.
At this time, we would have privacy for those close
to our hearts. Privacy, wasn't she with the Saudi Arabian
prince and then DiCaprio Before that, the post included the
(12:00):
photos of the couple, Woods and Trump. Well, they were
at sunglasses, They're on a hammock and was its gazing
up to the sky.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
There's three hundred plus million people here, really, like of
all the people of Perkins waitress, and now she's.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Got an unbelievable dating history. It is, It's crazy. It's DiCaprio,
it's the Prince of the Saudis deported because he was connected.
Now Kata and then it was Trump and now a golfer,
Tiger Woods, who can't walk. In other news, Heat coach
(12:40):
Eric Spolster's ex wife, Nikki, former Heat cheerleader turned podcaster,
went to social media today to squash any rumors. She's
what I'm trying to read the news.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Oh what have we got going on here?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
They say she's hooking up on the Pride of Camalria. Oh,
no speculation went viral on Sunday, Internet users claiming Nikki's
interaction with the twenty one year old Forward Instagram page
gave the reason to believe that she was with the
former UCLA standout.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Well, yeah, y'all, streets give me way too much power,
which it doesn't go your way in pro sports. It's
one thing for you sports fanatics to come onto my
page after I made a really big life choice and
talk crazy, And it's another thing entirely for you to
come to my page and harass me and call me
crazy names over something a rumor story that is one
(13:41):
hundred percent flat out not true. And a lot of
you are going to be like, well, why are you
even addressing it? Like ignore the haters. No, Like, actually,
you come over here with your dirty feet in my
in my space, I'm going to address you, and I'm
going to call.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
You out dirty s fee that you.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Sports trolls are going wild about. I would never do that.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Well himie, howk as mom is all rad he flying
to Miami with assortment of knives. So I mean it's
gonna be a bad scene no matter what. I don't
know if she got that Internet rebuttal up quick enough
to stop himI Hawk as his mom from cutting her
to shreds.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Wash your feet, people.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Yeah, wash your feet before you come into the space
of Eric Spolster's ex wife Fate, before you come who's face?
Who was such an awful person that pat Riley waited
till the divorce was done to give him his next
contract so he didn't have to pay her more at alimony.
Wash your feet. We'll be back with the top story
of the day. One more on the NBA next.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Wash your feet.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Thanks for listening everybody on this Modello meet you a
lot of Monday. Remember it's not a real meet you
a lot of if it's not made with Modello. It's
a reward for those that have the fighting spirit. Modello
the mark of a fighter. We are your home of
the World Series Champion Dodgers and live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. Dodgers are coming up. Dodgers on Deck, Morongo Casino,
(15:03):
Dodgers on Deck with Tim Kats coming up at five
o clock. But right now, before we get any further,
it's time for the top story of the day, Top story.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Of it Well quickly before we get to sort of
the centerpiece of the top story that I do want
to update our conspiracy theory here because is.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
This your conpiracy theory about.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
The Mavericks thing?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Okay thing? Lebron was behind all of it, right, Adam
Silver owner to get the Dallas fan base so despondent
that the Mavericks new ownership will move to Las Vegas.
They're good at that, they know what they're doing. This
very old woman.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
They'll get the expansion team with Lebron as a co
owner because he likes them.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yes, yeah, the whole age and they're gonna move. And
this is all orchestrated three D chess. You can see
the stress of us are playing connect.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
For you can see the strings and the puppet master
Dallas is terrible. Everybody got hurt. They have shut it down.
They have lost eight of ten thirty four wins. They
are now out of the playoff picture and in to
the lottery picture. Now we know you've perhaps heard this
(16:20):
in years past. About five years ago, in an effort
to stave off full tank Athon status from teams, they
and I'm doing the air quote. Well I don't even
have to do the air quotes. They flattened the lottery odds.
So instead of having like a thirty percent chance at
the number one pick if you have the worst record
that dropped all the way down to fourteen percent, same
(16:42):
as the second or third or fourth worst record, and
then teams even at the back end of the lottery
have a little bit more of an opportunity to get
that first pick. So now Mavericks way out of the
high lottery odds, nowhere near the like of Washington and Utah,
New Orleans and Charlotte, all currently battling in a race
(17:05):
to the bottom. Two of those teams, the Wizards and
Jazz you got to Zee in your name, you suck.
They are actively tanking and likely will not reach twenty wins.
But when the prize and it's embarrassing too no, I
think that's spelled g R I S S L I
E S. Chris Leith, don't ruin my theory. When the
(17:27):
prize is Cooper Flag and you are in lily White
Salt Lake City, you bet your ass you are all
doing everything possible to try to make that happen. But
now that they've lost eight of ten, now that they're
out of the playoff picture, out of the play in picture,
and they're odds right now yes, the longest of any
(17:49):
lottery team less than one percent to get flagged with
the number one overall pick. Realistically, they can only gain
maybe three more spots, which would give them a whopping
two percent shot at the top pick, but still a shot.
Never forget. Twenty eleven Clippers trade an unprotected first to
(18:10):
Cleveland with Baron Davis to get out from under his contract,
a contract dump and with just a two point eight
percent shot at the number one pick after they had
been jilted left at the altar thanks to Jim Gray
in a nationally televised program by Lebron James. It hit
and Kyrie Irving became a Cavalier. Now never forget. Four
(18:36):
years later after his time in Miami, rumors are swirling
that Lebron may try to make his way back to Cleveland. Huh,
what do you know? The Calves with a one point
seven percent chance to land the top pick land the
top pick before Lebron James makes his announcement that he's
gonna come back to Cleveland. And who was the prize
(18:58):
in that draft? Now he did not realize the tag
that was attached to him, and Andrew Wiggins was called
the most can't miss prospect in NBA draft history since
Lebron James, and somehow they get it at a time
when people were speculating that Ryle's and Lebron weren't getting
along and that he might entertain the idea of returning
(19:19):
to his hometown to try to deliver them a championship,
and somehow one point seven percent turns in to Andrew Wiggins,
who he would then trade for Kevin Love. He would
then torture mercilessly and seriously impact his mental well being.
That is neither here nor there, Not that I want
to continue to do Dallas Maverick's conspiracy theory talk. But
(19:42):
now that they have officially slipped out of the play
in and they are now in the lottery, maybe one
maybe five combinations of the way these balls are pulled
out of that HAPPA just figure I put it on
a radar. Maybe it's not number one, maybe it's two
or three. But that doesn't that doesn't help me out
with the ca conspiracy theory Number one in Cooper flag, uh,
(20:03):
somebody that would certainly get market number four or five
or whatever they are six to stop breathing down the
necks of the NBA for this Luka Doncic trade. You
could see perhaps step two of a three step conspiracy
come to fruition. What we're gonna do is we're gonna
(20:24):
ma sure everybody gets hurt.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Yes, JFK Mail.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
That's right, sir, Sirhan just celebrated a.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Birthday, that's sure. How big of it celebrations.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Though I don't think it was a celebration at all.
He is still incarcerated.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Two.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Our NBA theme here the team in town, the Oklahoma
City thunder here over the weekend. Now, your trip to
the Intuit Dome was successful over the weekend, not so
much Oklahoma City. They snapped the Clippers win streak. And
(21:00):
I do not think it has discussed nearly enough because
we constantly pile on Lebron James for insisting that the
Lakers trade for Russell Westbrook when Rob Polinka wanted to
do a deal for Miles Turner and Buddy Heel that
would have improved the team immensely compared to the abject
failure that was the Russell Westbrook for Kyle Kuzman other
parts trade. But for all of eternity, and they were
(21:24):
and look, for whatever reason, the idea that Kawhi Leonard
is not routinely castigated for this. The man who insisted
the Clippers trade for Paul George in order to get
him to sign as a free agent will go down
as arguably, and I know Luka Dancich right now is
(21:45):
in the conversation as the most lopsided trade in NBA history.
But last time I checked, Luca has yet to win
an MVP. Yes, he has been All NBA First Team
five consecutive seasons, every single year he was a Rookie
of the Year, but he was traded for a perennial
defensive team players, someone who's won the NBA Championship, who
has been in the top five MVP voting in multiple
(22:06):
years and routinely discussed as one of the ten best
players in the league when he is healthy. Now, it
was a lopsided trade, sure way lopsided bat trade, especially
considering the injury history. But if we're going to play
that game, as we just saw this weekend, a damn
close second is this shay Gilgess Alexander disaster that the
Clippers participated in. As he is now running away with
(22:27):
the MVP, running a way with the MVP.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
He was a Clipper.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, he was a Clipper.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
People forget this.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
They got a shot at the best record in the league.
They're two off of the Cavs. They have the best
record in the West. They will hold that they will
have home court advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs. He
is going, well, they're going to post numbers that the
franchise has never realized in their history. More wins. Yes,
they got to make a run to the NBA Finals
to equal the postseason success that Kevin Durant Russell Westbrook had.
They did make a final and lost to those Lebron Heatles,
(22:57):
But as far as regular season numbers go, they are
going to have the best season in this franchise's history,
better than anything that Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook put
together with James Harden on that magical run they had
some ten years ago. And individually, Shay Gildis Alexander is
(23:18):
putting together a better season individually than Kevin Durant. In
the conversation, is the best player of his era ever
had while he was with the Thunder. That's how good
Shay Gildas Alexander has been this season. They beat that
streaking Clippers team with two of their top three players
out and Sega impacted the game in a million other
(23:42):
ways when he struggled with his shot, but he still
got to twenty points and that's important. We'll get to
that two point victory. They're chase of the best record
in the NBA to go with the best record in
the Western Conference still alive. If it was just a
straight up trade of Shay for Paul George, it would
still go down as one of the worst trades in
the history of the league, considering that lack of success
that Paul and Kawhi Leonard experienced, the issues that he
(24:03):
had in the bubble when it looked to be their
best opportunity to win a championship, even though it would
have been one of the Mickey Mouse variety. But when
you factor in the five first rounders, including pickswaps, those
first rounders turned into Jalen Williams in one case, their
second best player. Yes, it's got a very very good
(24:26):
chance to go down as the if Shay keeps this
up at his young age right now, the worst trade
in the history of the NBA. He is twenty six
years old, that is all Gilgus Alexander is and he
has been on the Oklahoma City Thunder for five freaking year,
(24:46):
six years, I think, And it provides, oh, this is
the other thing that he's doing. He scored twenty points again.
He has only not scored twenty points once this season.
He has now done it sixty four straight times. And
if he keeps this up, he will pass I think
he may have just passed Kevin Durant for the most
(25:06):
consecutive twenty point games. I think he's got a chance
to pass Michael Jordan in like a game or two,
and he will only trail Oscar Robertson and Will Chamberlain
on that list.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
It seems like a mistake and it.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Provides a stark reminder that you never, under any circumstances,
allow players to dictate terms on who you are to acquire.
Because Leonard had no clue how good that kid was,
what it would look like if they played together, and
God bless him. Rip Jerry West, who reportedly begged and
(25:43):
pleaded with Lawrence Frank and Steve Balmer to not make
the trade. And when they said, well it could cost
us Kawhi as a free agent, he said, fine, if
that's the case, do not trade this kid, he is
going to be that good. Instead, they listened to him
and his stupid uncle and they got stuck with two
(26:04):
incredibly unlikable players instead.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Kawhi's uncle has just revoked your credential, the Clipper.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yes, I thought I was going to a game, but
now I'm not.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Well. I mean, the Luca trade is the worst in
NBA history. But since it's the giant conspiracy theory step two.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Or nothing they could do about it, you know, right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
But this there was something they could do. Jerry West
told him not to do it. All right, We'll be
back with more great sports talk with your dad, Sports
Talk Birthday of the Day. Remember Shake, Gilgus Alexander could
be standing tall in Englewood right now if it wasn't
for Kawhi and his uncle.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
How much better would your activation have been if that
were the case.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I can't imagine it being better. A fully functional employee
ad him is going to take umbrage to that, and
he's gonna be on in the next hour. Tomorrow's going
to be the same kind of flex alert everybody with
a two o'clock start, Wellert the Dodgers will get the
(27:11):
particulars out of the way. With the Angels, and we'll
get to opening Day on Thursday, but tonight Dodgers Angels,
Dodgers on deck at five. Tomorrow will be the same,
and it's a Modello meet a lot of Monday for
everybody in town. Enjoy yourself and celebrate. It's not a
real meet, a lot of it's not made with Modelo.
(27:33):
That's a reward for those with a fighting spirit. Modello
the mark of a fighter. And Matt maybe the last
Clipper flex of the year Wednesday, Clippers Nicks.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, they take off for their road trip. We used
to be able to determine whether or not they're going
to be at home or on the road if you
just looked at one schedule, Lakers on the road, Clippers
at home, Clippers on the road, Lakers at home. No longer,
both of them on East Coast swings. As the Lakers
start THEIRS today, the Clips start theres on Wednesdays, So
beware the flex alert. However, as we all know, once
(28:05):
the Dodgers start playing baseball, and they do, there's one
hundred and sixty two and one hundred and eighty five.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I mean it starts the day after this next game,
and it starts a very next day. I we're talking
about the very next day.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
A lot of progressive is the new mainstream for the
Clippers moving forward?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
What now it's called? Eagle is the new Beak.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
America something along those lines.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Exactly right. Eagle is the new Beak eleven fifties where
you're gonna find a lot of those Clipper games. That's
what we're saying. But everything's on the iHeartRadio app for
your smartphone. It's now time for the dead guy. Birthday
of the Day.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Ubb Eyeworks, ub i Works. Weird name, that's it. I
checked out the pronunciation by watching a video about him
because I couldn't believe the phonetic pronunciation. But ub Iworks
happy one hundred and twenty fourth to ultimately the creator
of Mickey Mouse. It was not Walt Disney. What it
(28:59):
was his path? Ubb Why is.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Walt Disney the one holding hands with a mouse in
the statue in disney Land.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Hey, that's a question we're going to try to answer
right here. Okay, Well, American animator, cartoonist, character designer, inventor,
special effects technician born in Kse, same spot as Walt.
Pair of friends working together at an art studio in
nineteen nineteen then for the local newspaper, and they hatched
(29:26):
their plan to start their own animation house after they
learned the ropes together at Lafogram Laugh dash O dash
Gram laugh O Graham.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Yeah, it's like an online college. You're back in the
nineteen fifties, same thing.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Hey, I'm going to work at Laughagram. We're gonna chase
this animation dream. It went bankrupt, and so Disney decided
to shoot his shot move to La in nineteen twenty three,
and I Works tagged along, and that is where he
and Walt created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, which was essentially
(30:00):
Mickey Mouse in rabbit form, same sort of face, just
really long rabbit ears. And that thing got on a
wild chase of a trade and sort of infringement. But
I'm gonna trade you Oswald for the rights to this
and all that sort of thing. So Walt just said, whatever,
kiss Oswald, goodbye, get to work. Let's figure out something else.
(30:21):
So Ub puts together Clara bel Kyle puts together Horace
Horse Collar, two all time greats. But he then took
oswald rabbits, took Oswald's rabbit ears and made them into
giant discs, a few more subtle tweaks, and his refined
(30:41):
version of Oswald became Mickey Mouse. I worked did nearly
all the animation for the early Mickey Mouse and Silly
Symphony cartoons which are playing in the background, and since
Tim is a band in the computer, I did not
realize it wasn't all music, So my apologies if it's
a bit distracting. He did Steamboat Willie, He did the
Skeleton Dance, He did the Haunted High House, with his
final Mickey Mouse cartoon being nineteen thirty's The Cactus Kid.
(31:04):
I works knew he was not getting the credit he
deserved for drawing all of Disney's successful cartoons. According to
one particular account, he felt them phasing him out. Well,
he said the last straw. This this eyewitness said the
last straw was when both Walt and Ub were at
a party together and a child walked up to both
(31:25):
of them, child of a coworker who was told that
these are the guys that came up with Mickey Mouse
and said, Jae, sir, would you be willing to draw
me a picture of Mickey Mouse on this napkin here?
And Walt looked it up, handed him the pen and said,
why don't you draw Mickey and I'll sign it, and
(31:47):
I works lost it.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Through the pen in the paper. He stormed out and
that was that. He got hosed in that deal. Disney
kept Mickey Mouse ub. Forced to get out on his own,
he started I Studio, never achieved serious success, created the
characters Flip the Frog and Willie Wopper who we are
not familiar with, and so hat in hand. After doing
(32:12):
some work for Looney Tunes and MGM, he was back
at Disney in nineteen forty. His big credit the second
time around man who came up with the live action
and animation merged. He did it in Song of the South.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Oh yeah, simpony, dude dah.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
He also did the new process for cell animation that
became Disney's standard. It's showed up first in one hundred
and one.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Dollar Lash Mountain Matt Let's Go, Let's Go.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Special Effects Guru as well. He got nominated for three
Academy Awards and won once for Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds.
This is the guy that came up with all the
birds in The Birds.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Yeah, you gotta help animate, you gotta animate some of them.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah. Married two Kids died in Burbank in nineteen seventy one.
He was seventy years old. Posthumously named a need legend
in nineteen eighty nine. Uh, I wors thanks a lot, Walt, Yeah,
thanks Walt.

But he's a high up there. She is about to
put a foot on that podium.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
She's biting the metal to make sure it's real, and shooting,
shooting the champagne. I think if you took like a
dead run at her.

Did you know the speaking of the Hollywood Pantage Just
just up the road, The blinking light atop the Capitol
Records Tower spells out the word Hollywood in Morse code
and has done so since the building first opened all
the way back in nineteen fifty six.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah. Some think that it's giving you coordinates on where
to buy math, but it no longer has to do
that because you can pretty much buy method anyway in Hollywood.
It's a great place. Great to get over there to
Hollywood and see the people that are passed out but
they're standing up, but their legs are working, but their
upper torsos like all fluoned over. Yeah, it's a real
(03:30):
home run over there. See you over at the time
for quickeads tms quickets.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I'll make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah. Well, the Dodgers, as we have been discussing, are
revving up started again stateside tonight there in Anaheim taking
on the Angels in the second game of the Freeway Series,
first pitches at six oh five. We know all about that.
We talked to Dave in the first hour. The real
concern is Mookie bats who's been sick now for a while,
(04:06):
sick to his stomach. Supposed to play last night but
was scratched because of that. He's battling some serious gastro
intestinal problems. Here's Mooki after the game last night, talking
with David Vassay about what's going on.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I don't think anybody really knows. I mean, it's just
you know, you go, you weigh your weigh yourself, and
you weigh one hundred and fifty pounds, I mean, and
before I left Spring, I was one seventy five. And
so you know, it's it's a balance because I guess
my stomach is really aggravated, and so it's hard to
just not eat, you know, especially come you can't come
(04:42):
to work and just not eat. And you know, you
know how I am. I'm practicing all day and and
my body's just kind of eating itself, and so it's
hard to not fuel it. And so every time, literally
every time I fuel my body, I throw it up.
And there's I don't know, and I don't know what
to do about it.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
When was the last time you were able to have
a meal and keep it down? And are you taking
IVS to kind of supplement.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
That I've only gotten IVY in Tokyo. I got a
two leaders of IVY in Tokyo. But to answer your question,
I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Every time I've eaten, I've thrown up. So it's it's
hopefully I can hold something down, you know, tomorrow, tonight, Tomorrowland,
I'm scared to eat, So I don't really know what
to do.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Have the doctors diagnosed it.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
No, I mean there's my vidols. Everything is come back
clean to you know, blood tests. Everything is come back
really really clean healthy. So I guess it's just something
with my stomach being really aggravated. And so I'm just
started in some new medicine now to try and calm
my stomach down.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Mookie, if you wouldn't have been if you did not
vomit today, would you have felt strong enough to play?
How strong do you feel to even try to play
major league game?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I mean yeah, you know, even though I'm light, I
mean I would still play. You know, I didn't throw
it a it throw up the day absolutely I was
in there. I mean, I had a great day yesterday,
but I didn't eat literally all day yesterday, and so
I figured, you know, give myself a day of not
eating and then to come in and play a major
league game and not eat. It's kind of hard to fathom.
(06:22):
And so I ate breakfast this morning and threw it up.
So kind of is what it is.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I mean, at twenty four hour flu is a bad deal,
and you are wishing like death upon yourself when you're
going through it and you're on the toilet for the
seventh time in eight minutes.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Praying to the porcela of God for ten.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Days, I mean, damn, that is miserable.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
What Bowling Alley did he go to?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Hey, you know what they say about that Bowling Alley food?
You get that, not your cheese out of that freaking machine.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I mean, what happened is porn, mookie. It's not funny,
not funny. The Clippers are forty at thirty one, and
they have won eight of their last ten. They're but
they lost to shake Gilgess Alexander last night. I'm sure
maybe we'll have some NBA talk. I was alerted to
some NBA talk, it's coming up. They're in New York
on Wednesday to take on the Knicks, and that could
(07:13):
be the last AM five to seventy Clipper game of
the season as they're headed straight into the mouth of
Uncle Sam. On AM eleven to fifty, the American style
Yankee top hat will be the hat that the Clippers
are wearing.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Hey, get your way up the dial there eleven to
fifty adam oslind Carlow compelling Clipper conversation and the final
ten games of the season. Will we get a rogue
Monday Thursday opportunity? Probably not?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Probably not?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Probably not?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Four thirty tip on seventy. Like we said, there are
sixteen teams left in the NCAA tournament, with seven from
the SEC. As a Southern American, you said something that
got up underneath much. How many for the Big ten?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Me?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Well, come on, man, how many times we're going to
pass the ball before we How many time we're gonna
pass the ball before we shoot it? Four? How many
for the Big twelve? Also? Four? Acc has Duke.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Those are the Big four.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
As Clark Killogg almost kind of lectured us a little bit,
and I was like, is this gonna be a deal
where like half these teams are out by the time
we talk to you again next week. And he's like, hey,
they earned it. Okay, those fourteen SEC teams earned it.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Well, they earned the nil money from their donors to
earn the players. And you know, look, you take the
good with the bad. But in the world of hey,
these guys need to make money and we need to
find a way to make more money for these guys,
which is great, Okay, that's happening. The people that have
money are the ones that have the players, and you
don't get your Cinderella's, at least not this year. It
(08:59):
looks like you got to take the good with the
bad when it comes to the nil.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Era, Yeah, they're all they're all on the Power Conference
teams now it's like, oh yeah that dude, yeah he
was at IONA. Oh that guy, Yeah, that guy was
at FAU, so was that guy and that guy. And
there's just the double digit seed's got no chance anymore
because they get raided, which is fun.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
All the sports riders that were whining for all these
guys to get paid are the same people that are
whining that there's no more Cinderellas. It's like, okay, guys,
you know you caused all this. I mean, I'm not
saying it's bad, but you can't have it both ways.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
It made your bed. Now go to sleep.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Iona is broke. We're month one month away from the draft.

Rams select twenty six. We got a bot. The US
men's national team lost to Canada last night. Winalda did
not make a film outside of a nice restaurant or bar.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I believe he gave his phone to somebody else and said,
under no circumstances are you to give this phone back
to me, No matter how much I beg and plead
for you to take a video. He dropped his phone
in a class of walks. No matter what I'm gonna
be cause here's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna ask you
for it. I'm gonna beg you for it. I'm gonna say,
take this video, and you're gonna say no. You know

though it was Landon Donovan. He filled the void of
Eric Noll, the former US national team member blasting Team
USA quote, I'm so sick of here and how talented
this group of players is and all the amazing clubs
they play for. If you aren't gonna show up and
actually give it about playing for your national team, yeah,
(10:55):

That's what I was gonna say. You should have given
me the phone.

do it all.
Speaker 2 (11:11):

about soccer. He loves talking about the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Tiger Woods put several weeks of speculation to bet on
Sunday as he announced his relationship with Vanessa Trump, Donald
Trump Junior's ex wife. In a post on X love
is in the air and life is better with you
by my side, Woods wrote, whenever I think of Woods
talking to a chick, I think of those puzzo pictures
he took and said to the skier lady personal. Yes,
(11:37):
they were very personal. That's a nice big birth of
their brother. We look forward to our journey through life Togain.

former UCLA standout.

till the divorce was done to give him his next
contract so he didn't have to pay her more at alimony.
Wash your feet. We'll be back with the top story
of the day. One more on the NBA next.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Wash your feet.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Thanks for listening everybody on this Modello meet you a
lot of Monday. Remember it's not a real meet you
a lot of if it's not made with Modello. It's
a reward for those that have the fighting spirit. Modello
the mark of a fighter. We are your home of
the World Series Champion Dodgers and live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. Dodgers are coming up. Dodgers on Deck, Morongo Casino,
(15:03):
Dodgers on Deck with Tim Kats coming up at five
o clock. But right now, before we get any further,
it's time for the top story of the day, Top story.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Of it Well quickly before we get to sort of
the centerpiece of the top story that I do want
to update our conspiracy theory here because is.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
This your conpiracy theory about.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
The Mavericks thing?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Okay thing? Lebron was behind all of it, right, Adam
Silver owner to get the Dallas fan base so despondent
that the Mavericks new ownership will move to Las Vegas.
They're good at that, they know what they're doing. This
very old woman.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
They'll get the expansion team with Lebron as a co
owner because he likes them.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yes, yeah, the whole age and they're gonna move. And
this is all orchestrated three D chess. You can see
the stress of us are playing connect.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
For you can see the strings and the puppet master
Dallas is terrible. Everybody got hurt. They have shut it down.
They have lost eight of ten thirty four wins. They
are now out of the playoff picture and in to
the lottery picture. Now we know you've perhaps heard this
(16:20):
in years past. About five years ago, in an effort
to stave off full tank Athon status from teams, they
and I'm doing the air quote. Well I don't even
have to do the air quotes. They flattened the lottery odds.
So instead of having like a thirty percent chance at
the number one pick if you have the worst record
that dropped all the way down to fourteen percent, same
(16:42):
as the second or third or fourth worst record, and
then teams even at the back end of the lottery
have a little bit more of an opportunity to get
that first pick. So now Mavericks way out of the
high lottery odds, nowhere near the like of Washington and Utah,
New Orleans and Charlotte, all currently battling in a race
(17:05):
to the bottom. Two of those teams, the Wizards and
Jazz you got to Zee in your name, you suck.
They are actively tanking and likely will not reach twenty wins.
But when the prize and it's embarrassing too no, I
think that's spelled g R I S S L I
E S. Chris Leith, don't ruin my theory. When the
(17:27):
prize is Cooper Flag and you are in lily White
Salt Lake City, you bet your ass you are all
doing everything possible to try to make that happen. But
now that they've lost eight of ten, now that they're
out of the playoff picture, out of the play in picture,
and they're odds right now yes, the longest of any
(17:49):
lottery team less than one percent to get flagged with
the number one overall pick. Realistically, they can only gain
maybe three more spots, which would give them a whopping
two percent shot at the top pick, but still a shot.
Never forget. Twenty eleven Clippers trade an unprotected first to
(18:10):
Cleveland with Baron Davis to get out from under his contract,
a contract dump and with just a two point eight
percent shot at the number one pick after they had
been jilted left at the altar thanks to Jim Gray
in a nationally televised program by Lebron James. It hit
and Kyrie Irving became a Cavalier. Now never forget. Four
(18:36):
years later after his time in Miami, rumors are swirling
that Lebron may try to make his way back to Cleveland. Huh,
what do you know? The Calves with a one point
seven percent chance to land the top pick land the
top pick before Lebron James makes his announcement that he's
gonna come back to Cleveland. And who was the prize
(18:58):
in that draft? Now he did not realize the tag
that was attached to him, and Andrew Wiggins was called
the most can't miss prospect in NBA draft history since
Lebron James, and somehow they get it at a time
when people were speculating that Ryle's and Lebron weren't getting
along and that he might entertain the idea of returning
(19:19):
to his hometown to try to deliver them a championship,
and somehow one point seven percent turns in to Andrew Wiggins,
who he would then trade for Kevin Love. He would
then torture mercilessly and seriously impact his mental well being.
That is neither here nor there, Not that I want
to continue to do Dallas Maverick's conspiracy theory talk. But
(19:42):
now that they have officially slipped out of the play
in and they are now in the lottery, maybe one
maybe five combinations of the way these balls are pulled
out of that HAPPA just figure I put it on
a radar. Maybe it's not number one, maybe it's two
or three. But that doesn't that doesn't help me out
with the ca conspiracy theory Number one in Cooper flag, uh,
(20:03):
somebody that would certainly get market number four or five
or whatever they are six to stop breathing down the
necks of the NBA for this Luka Doncic trade. You
could see perhaps step two of a three step conspiracy
come to fruition. What we're gonna do is we're gonna
(20:24):
ma sure everybody gets hurt.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Yes, JFK Mail.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
That's right, sir, Sirhan just celebrated a.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Birthday, that's sure. How big of it celebrations.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Though I don't think it was a celebration at all.
He is still incarcerated.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Two.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Our NBA theme here the team in town, the Oklahoma
City thunder here over the weekend. Now, your trip to
the Intuit Dome was successful over the weekend, not so
much Oklahoma City. They snapped the Clippers win streak. And
(21:00):
I do not think it has discussed nearly enough because
we constantly pile on Lebron James for insisting that the
Lakers trade for Russell Westbrook when Rob Polinka wanted to
do a deal for Miles Turner and Buddy Heel that
would have improved the team immensely compared to the abject
failure that was the Russell Westbrook for Kyle Kuzman other
parts trade. But for all of eternity, and they were
(21:24):
and look, for whatever reason, the idea that Kawhi Leonard
is not routinely castigated for this. The man who insisted
the Clippers trade for Paul George in order to get
him to sign as a free agent will go down
as arguably, and I know Luka Dancich right now is
(21:45):
in the conversation as the most lopsided trade in NBA history.
But last time I checked, Luca has yet to win
an MVP. Yes, he has been All NBA First Team
five consecutive seasons, every single year he was a Rookie
of the Year, but he was traded for a perennial
defensive team players, someone who's won the NBA Championship, who
has been in the top five MVP voting in multiple
(22:06):
years and routinely discussed as one of the ten best
players in the league when he is healthy. Now, it
was a lopsided trade, sure way lopsided bat trade, especially
considering the injury history. But if we're going to play
that game, as we just saw this weekend, a damn
close second is this shay Gilgess Alexander disaster that the
Clippers participated in. As he is now running away with
(22:27):
the MVP, running a way with the MVP.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
He was a Clipper.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, he was a Clipper.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
People forget this.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
They got a shot at the best record in the league.
They're two off of the Cavs. They have the best
record in the West. They will hold that they will
have home court advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs. He
is going, well, they're going to post numbers that the
franchise has never realized in their history. More wins. Yes,
they got to make a run to the NBA Finals
to equal the postseason success that Kevin Durant Russell Westbrook had.
They did make a final and lost to those Lebron Heatles,
(22:57):
But as far as regular season numbers go, they are
going to have the best season in this franchise's history,
better than anything that Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook put
together with James Harden on that magical run they had
some ten years ago. And individually, Shay Gildis Alexander is
(23:18):
putting together a better season individually than Kevin Durant. In
the conversation, is the best player of his era ever
had while he was with the Thunder. That's how good
Shay Gildas Alexander has been this season. They beat that
streaking Clippers team with two of their top three players
out and Sega impacted the game in a million other
(23:42):
ways when he struggled with his shot, but he still
got to twenty points and that's important. We'll get to
that two point victory. They're chase of the best record
in the NBA to go with the best record in
the Western Conference still alive. If it was just a
straight up trade of Shay for Paul George, it would
still go down as one of the worst trades in
the history of the league, considering that lack of success
that Paul and Kawhi Leonard experienced, the issues that he
(24:03):
had in the bubble when it looked to be their
best opportunity to win a championship, even though it would
have been one of the Mickey Mouse variety. But when
you factor in the five first rounders, including pickswaps, those
first rounders turned into Jalen Williams in one case, their
second best player. Yes, it's got a very very good
(24:26):
chance to go down as the if Shay keeps this
up at his young age right now, the worst trade
in the history of the NBA. He is twenty six
years old, that is all Gilgus Alexander is and he
has been on the Oklahoma City Thunder for five freaking year,
(24:46):
six years, I think, And it provides, oh, this is
the other thing that he's doing. He scored twenty points again.
He has only not scored twenty points once this season.
He has now done it sixty four straight times. And
if he keeps this up, he will pass I think
he may have just passed Kevin Durant for the most
(25:06):
consecutive twenty point games. I think he's got a chance
to pass Michael Jordan in like a game or two,
and he will only trail Oscar Robertson and Will Chamberlain
on that list.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
It seems like a mistake and it.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Provides a stark reminder that you never, under any circumstances,
allow players to dictate terms on who you are to acquire.
Because Leonard had no clue how good that kid was,
what it would look like if they played together, and
God bless him. Rip Jerry West, who reportedly begged and
(25:43):
pleaded with Lawrence Frank and Steve Balmer to not make
the trade. And when they said, well it could cost
us Kawhi as a free agent, he said, fine, if
that's the case, do not trade this kid, he is
going to be that good. Instead, they listened to him
and his stupid uncle and they got stuck with two
(26:04):
incredibly unlikable players instead.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Kawhi's uncle has just revoked your credential, the Clipper.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yes, I thought I was going to a game, but
now I'm not.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Well. I mean, the Luca trade is the worst in
NBA history. But since it's the giant conspiracy theory step two.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Or nothing they could do about it, you know, right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
But this there was something they could do. Jerry West
told him not to do it. All right, We'll be
back with more great sports talk with your dad, Sports
Talk Birthday of the Day. Remember Shake, Gilgus Alexander could
be standing tall in Englewood right now if it wasn't
for Kawhi and his uncle.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
How much better would your activation have been if that
were the case.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I can't imagine it being better. A fully functional employee
ad him is going to take umbrage to that, and
he's gonna be on in the next hour. Tomorrow's going
to be the same kind of flex alert everybody with
a two o'clock start, Wellert the Dodgers will get the
(27:11):
particulars out of the way. With the Angels, and we'll
get to opening Day on Thursday, but tonight Dodgers Angels,
Dodgers on deck at five. Tomorrow will be the same,
and it's a Modello meet a lot of Monday for
everybody in town. Enjoy yourself and celebrate. It's not a
real meet, a lot of it's not made with Modelo.
(27:33):
That's a reward for those with a fighting spirit. Modello
the mark of a fighter. And Matt maybe the last
Clipper flex of the year Wednesday, Clippers Nicks.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, they take off for their road trip. We used
to be able to determine whether or not they're going
to be at home or on the road if you
just looked at one schedule, Lakers on the road, Clippers
at home, Clippers on the road, Lakers at home. No longer,
both of them on East Coast swings. As the Lakers
start THEIRS today, the Clips start theres on Wednesdays, So
beware the flex alert. However, as we all know, once
(28:05):
the Dodgers start playing baseball, and they do, there's one
hundred and sixty two and one hundred and eighty five.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I mean it starts the day after this next game,
and it starts a very next day. I we're talking
about the very next day.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
A lot of progressive is the new mainstream for the
Clippers moving forward?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
What now it's called? Eagle is the new Beak.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
America something along those lines.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Exactly right. Eagle is the new Beak eleven fifties where
you're gonna find a lot of those Clipper games. That's
what we're saying. But everything's on the iHeartRadio app for
your smartphone. It's now time for the dead guy. Birthday
of the Day.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Ubb Eyeworks, ub i Works. Weird name, that's it. I
checked out the pronunciation by watching a video about him
because I couldn't believe the phonetic pronunciation. But ub Iworks
happy one hundred and twenty fourth to ultimately the creator
of Mickey Mouse. It was not Walt Disney. What it
(28:59):
was his path? Ubb Why is.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Walt Disney the one holding hands with a mouse in
the statue in disney Land.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Hey, that's a question we're going to try to answer
right here. Okay, Well, American animator, cartoonist, character designer, inventor,
special effects technician born in Kse, same spot as Walt.
Pair of friends working together at an art studio in
nineteen nineteen then for the local newspaper, and they hatched
(29:26):
their plan to start their own animation house after they
learned the ropes together at Lafogram Laugh dash O dash
Gram laugh O Graham.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Yeah, it's like an online college. You're back in the
nineteen fifties, same thing.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Hey, I'm going to work at Laughagram. We're gonna chase
this animation dream. It went bankrupt, and so Disney decided
to shoot his shot move to La in nineteen twenty three,
and I Works tagged along, and that is where he
and Walt created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, which was essentially
(30:00):
Mickey Mouse in rabbit form, same sort of face, just
really long rabbit ears. And that thing got on a
wild chase of a trade and sort of infringement. But
I'm gonna trade you Oswald for the rights to this
and all that sort of thing. So Walt just said, whatever,
kiss Oswald, goodbye, get to work. Let's figure out something else.
(30:21):
So Ub puts together Clara bel Kyle puts together Horace
Horse Collar, two all time greats. But he then took
oswald rabbits, took Oswald's rabbit ears and made them into
giant discs, a few more subtle tweaks, and his refined
(30:41):
version of Oswald became Mickey Mouse. I worked did nearly
all the animation for the early Mickey Mouse and Silly
Symphony cartoons which are playing in the background, and since
Tim is a band in the computer, I did not
realize it wasn't all music, So my apologies if it's
a bit distracting. He did Steamboat Willie, He did the
Skeleton Dance, He did the Haunted High House, with his
final Mickey Mouse cartoon being nineteen thirty's The Cactus Kid.
(31:04):
I works knew he was not getting the credit he
deserved for drawing all of Disney's successful cartoons. According to
one particular account, he felt them phasing him out. Well,
he said the last straw. This this eyewitness said the
last straw was when both Walt and Ub were at
a party together and a child walked up to both
(31:25):
of them, child of a coworker who was told that
these are the guys that came up with Mickey Mouse
and said, Jae, sir, would you be willing to draw
me a picture of Mickey Mouse on this napkin here?
And Walt looked it up, handed him the pen and said,
why don't you draw Mickey and I'll sign it, and
(31:47):
I works lost it.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Through the pen in the paper. He stormed out and
that was that. He got hosed in that deal. Disney
kept Mickey Mouse ub. Forced to get out on his own,
he started I Studio, never achieved serious success, created the
characters Flip the Frog and Willie Wopper who we are
not familiar with, and so hat in hand. After doing
(32:12):
some work for Looney Tunes and MGM, he was back
at Disney in nineteen forty. His big credit the second
time around man who came up with the live action
and animation merged. He did it in Song of the South.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Oh yeah, simpony, dude dah.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
He also did the new process for cell animation that
became Disney's standard. It's showed up first in one hundred
and one.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Dollar Lash Mountain Matt Let's Go, Let's Go.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Special Effects Guru as well. He got nominated for three
Academy Awards and won once for Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds.
This is the guy that came up with all the
birds in The Birds.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Yeah, you gotta help animate, you gotta animate some of them.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah. Married two Kids died in Burbank in nineteen seventy one.
He was seventy years old. Posthumously named a need legend
in nineteen eighty nine. Uh, I wors thanks a lot, Walt, Yeah,
thanks Walt.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Beating out Steve Balmer, who built a hell of an
arena is hardcore. We get the rebound. Duncan back hardcore.

I mean, Brandy is on the podium alone. Yeah, but
Lauren Bowles is lifting one leg to step onto it.
But he's a high up there. She is about to
put a foot on that podium.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
She's biting the metal to make sure it's real, and shooting,
shooting the champagne. I think if you took like a
dead run at her.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Straight, you might just run right into her without her movie.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Right, without her seeing like dead run straight. Though you
move one way or the other, She's got you. I
think my lizard has less peripheral vision than that woman.
