Speaker 3 (01:53):
All right, Matt, we will have the top story of
the day. In the very next segment. We will have
all the way until five twenty great sports talk programming.
Sports Talk a modello meets you a lot of Monday,
Paola Asa Today, we appreciate everybody that is enjoying a modello.
Take it easy because it's not a real meet you
(02:13):
a lot of if it's not made with a modello.
And that is a reward for those with the fighting spirit.
Did the Dodgers have the fighting spirit in Saint Louis
in the last two games?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Maybe one run in the first two, not much, not much.
Yamamoto went out there with the fighting spirit, his offense
decided not to join him against the guy who was
three and five with a four ERA. Thanks a lot,
not much, now, Kershaw did pitch well, went in the
game yesterday and helping the Dodgers avoid a sweep.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
And we will call this the flip top story of
the day.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I'll I will look you out. This is the FlipTop
story of the day.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Now, let's be honest, Matt. I mean, we've done this
for a long time, and sometimes things get forgotten, and
so many things happen that are similar over and over
and over and over and over and over again that
it is hard to kind of keep track of. And
when it comes to the Dodgers losing in the postseason
(03:16):
for the last I don't know how long we've had
the Dodgers on the station, twelve years, thirteen years, when
it comes to that happening, it is very easy, just
like the NBA Finals format, to get confused, right, sure,
Like it's really easy, like when this happened to us
(03:36):
the other day, when we didn't know what people were
referring to when the Dodgers lost this time? What year
was that? Oh that was you know when they lost
to the d Bags. No, it was when they lost
to the padres No, It's when they lost in the.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Als est the Braves, yea, every other series that was that.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You know, So this is happened a lot and one
of those things that would happen a lot back then,
Matt is that Kershaw, the Great Clayton Kershaw, Hall of Fame, pitcher,
a living legend, somebody that connects the Dodgers, passed to
the Dodger present teams with Matt Kemp and Ethier and
Adrian Gonzalez and all of that different stuff, connecting Sean Green,
(04:23):
maybe even connecting to today, which is great. But what
has also happened to Kershaw over the years in the postseason,
He's had his chest removed, scoopage, scooped out like thirty
one flavors like the Rainbow Sherbert for Pride Week and
(04:44):
put in a cone, a waffle cone or a cup,
depending on your preference.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's if I want Rainbow Sherbert and it's not Pride Month.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I don't know. I think you have to Gobert. I
think the other eleven months a year, it's Zachary Ice
or nothing.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I don't mind dere Ice, but I guess Okay, eyes, you're.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Gonna go home. You're gonna go home and pour some
Quavo on it and really throw yourself a frat party.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
And I'm put a cup of sugar on top of that.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Like, I gotta be honest. I did not remember the
twenty fourteen NLDS. I didn't remember it. I didn't remember
that the Dodgers got destroyed in it? Was that the
one where they rattled Kenley's ribs? I feel like, yeah, sorry, Hanley?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And Joe Kelly, right, is the one that cracked the
It was Joe.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Friend Joe Kelly, that's right, who was a starter. Then
I think, yeah, cracked the ribs of the great Hanley Ramirez,
who David Vassy was fighting with the whole bunch back then?
Uh Now, what did happen though? In twenty fourteen was
that Kershaw surrendered a three run home run in the
National League Divisional Series, And during pregame warm ups yesterday,
(05:55):
the Cardinals played a highlight of it. And here is
that highlight.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
That Adams with thirteen game winning RBIs during the regular year,
kershawready and delivers and a drive.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
The right going.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Back on the ball is camp. It is gone and the.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Cardinal bullpen and it's three to two sang Louis.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, that was unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Matt Adams with thirteen game winning RBIs during the regular year.
Kershawready and delivers and a drive the right going back
on the ball is camp it is gone and the
Cardinal bullpen and it's three to two sang Louis.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
And Kershaw was pitching on short rest in that game
for and he was doing pretty well, but he gave
up that go ahead three run home run to Matt
Adams and the seventh, I mean the seventh is any
Dodger pitcher having gone that defense years.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It's been since twenty fourteen. And it helped the Cardinals
win the series. And it was extremely heart wrenching for
the Dodger fan and for the Dodgers to end the
season that way. That saw him take home his third
nl Cy Young Award. This is like when when the
poor Dirk Davinski was they got ousted in the first
(07:13):
round of the playoffs his NBA MVP, and it's super uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
It was very uncomfortable. So they play and that had
to be a terrible memory for Kershaw. But like I'm saying,
Matt there's so many bad Kershaw for a season.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Memory all kind of but and by the way, corrections
and retractions on me. The Hanley Ramirez was the year
before against the Cardinals, and this was supposed to be
their revenge. Oh okay, twenty fourteen was the revenge of
the twenty thirteen injury.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, it's all a blur. Yeah, it's all all. It's
like Steven Sagal, like which movie did he poke the
guy's eye out? And which movie did he break the
guy's arm and feed it to him? Like it's all
a blur. Because leading up to last year and of
course the COVID year, the Dodgers have not been able
to navigate their way through the playoffs. So they played
the home run. The people of Saint Louis got to celebrate,
(08:03):
but Kershaw pitched well, got the win, his first win
of the season, and then had this to say in
the postseason about the people of bush Stadium. I think
it's a little bush League, but I don't expect anything
less from these guys, So it's no worries. But you did.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
You did call it bush Ley clever use of bush
from bush Stadium?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Well yeah, but I mean My thing is is he've
been playing for that long and you've gotten scooped hard
in the postseason, and you've already shown that it pisses
you off when they put you on the big screen
because what happened in San Diego a couple years back,
and now where are the Dodgers today San Diego? Are
they going to bring out the crying Kershaw with the
(08:56):
mission bells bonging? They only did it when they won.
See San Diego didn't go after Kershaw in the pregame,
They got after him in the postgame a couple of
years ago. So will that happen tonight? Will that happen tomorrow?
Kershaw's not pitching, But that doesn't mean they can't put
up the crime Kershaw and let everybody see Kershaw's crime.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
And a game with so many unwritten rules, it does
feel like that would violate one of them. You know,
like you're you're not necessarily trying to celebrate your own triumph,
but instead you're trying to accentuate the failure of someone else.
And that's like one of the unwritten rules of baseball. Hey,
don't show up the other guy for failing. Figure out
(09:39):
how to celebrate yourself for succeeding in this game of
immense failure.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I mean, I get it, you know. But if you're
the Dodgers and you have a seven trillion dollar payroll
and you're running out showe Aotani as you're people are
walking show Aotoni to get to Mookie Bats, I mean,
that's all you really need to know about the Dodgers. Now.
It's pretty sweet that people walk show hal Tani to
get to Mookie Bats. And it's not like it happens
(10:07):
once in a while.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It happens all a lot, a lot, you know.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I mean that's what you could like if if that's
the modern day Dodgers. I mean, shouldn't you expect them
showing Kershaw getting his boob scoop videos and lois. Shouldn't
you expect crying Kershaw and the mission bells.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
The right approach is probably whatever they can do, whatever
they want.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Like if the Dodgers are gonna say that the Yankees
defecated down their legs, if the Dodgers are that a lot,
I know. But if the Dodgers are gonna call out
fat Joel for being terrible.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Well was he terrible?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
He was?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I'm just saying, I mean, if the Dodgers are going
to dish it out and they're the number one team
in baseball and it's not even close, shouldn't they be
able to take these things in stride?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Fair point, fair point.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I'm not saying they didn't.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
You can make your point and say whatever. They can
do whatever they want, but they're still a holes and
I hate them. And there you go. You get both
things accomplished.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I'm just saying, we'll see what happens tonight after what
happened in the Saint Louis And it was great to
hear Vin Scully on that call. Another great connection through
Clayton Kershaw that we have is our connection to Vin
Scully calling so many of his games and so many
of those games ending in abject failure in the playoffs.
(11:20):
But that was a different time, Matt. Now the Dodgers
are laughing from top of the mountain. They're throwing projectiles
off the overpass of the freeway.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Now they're walking to get to Mookie Bets. Yeah, that's process.
That's all you need to know. We'll be back with
more great sports doc Top Story of the day.
Speaker 3 (11:37):

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Welcome back, everybody, Petro sand Money, we are here tonight
San Diego. Padres hosts the Dodgers Dodgers on Deck with
Tim Kakes at five point thirty, first pitch at six forty.
Very exciting series. It's also Modelo meets a lot of
mondays you know ed monos Ian manas. It's not a
(12:24):
real meat if it's not made with Modelo. That is
a reward for those with the fighting spirit. What's your
spirit like? Does it have some fight in it?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
What's your deal?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Well, I didn't like what you did. What's your refid deal?
It's time for the top story of the day, Tom
story of it?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Well, nobody does this. I pull the curtain back here
typically and I don't know if I need to do
this big of a presentation before we dig into it.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
But maybe you don't.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
But you know, why not cover all our bases. When
I'm trying to figure out a top story of the day,
start with? What would I want to hear about today?
And then when I recognize that nobody else would want
to hear about that, I then ask, what do I
think people are talking about today? What would be the
the moment in sports that people would be talking about
(13:16):
today that we could try to put the unique petros
in Money Show spin on? If it has not been
dissected seven thousand times between the start of the Sports
day and when we finally hit the air for Afternoon Drive.
Is it the NBA Finals? Is it the Dodgers losing
(13:36):
two to three, getting shut out on Saturday when Yamamoto
deserves so much better as his cy young campaign is
sliding away because the offense can't support him.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
My soul slides away? Is it? The doc thought?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
No, I heard you say. Is it the Dodgers rebounding yesterday?
That's what I heard the guys before US launched their
show with offensive explosion. At least get one in Saint Louis,
before this huge series in San Diego. Maybe we should
be looking forward often we look back. Maybe I was like,
maybe I look forward sat.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Instant Classic matchup between al Caraz and Cinner.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Well, thank you for getting into what we're gonna get into.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Here.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Oh wow, because it's not the Stanley Cup Final with
Florida versus Edmonton. I thought about media day Chargers Jim
Harboss spoke for about twenty five minutes. The Rams are
chasing Jalen Ramsey the NBA Finals, an opportunity to pile
on Paul George again. F you Aaron Rodgers could do
that Paul George exactly, but why not? But I kept
(14:42):
coming back to what you just mentioned.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, I was pretty epic.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Something that happened to me yesterday morning. And uh, yesterday,
I get home from surf and I turned on the TV.
Alcarez is down two sets to none. It was over, but.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Santa was sitting there in his hat and his shirt like.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
A mime green and blue Franche for you. But I
stay there, and I continued to stay there in that
same spot, leaning on my kitchen counter, watching the TV.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I'm sorry, I never thought that I would be able
to diagnose what you were going to talk about. I
just had no idea.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Well, I think you hit it on the head though, right.
It was special, Like I could have gone downstairs to
the bigger TV, sat on the couch. That would have
been much more comfortable. Compared to what I was doing
with my ass jutted out, leaning on the counter because
I couldn't pry myself away.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
As we often say on the show, it doesn't mean
but if it doesn't have that.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Jet, it's right. And my bony ass has very little jet,
but it's still got some jut. When I turned it on,
they pointed out the match was coming up on just
two hours through two sets, and now I found myself
spending the next three and a half hours watching tennis.
Now it helped. There wasn't a whole lot else on
(15:57):
right in terms of sports. It helped that I was
home alone, had no responsibilities, didn't need to entertain anyone.
But still it's tennis and it's five and a half hours. Yeah,
every now and then I'll take in a race some
international soccer. I do love to watch the Dodgers. But
you're much more of a tennis guy than I am,
that's for sure. And you know me, man, Yeah, you
(16:18):
love the t I get out, I get out to
the courts and I just got the Paul Springs. You know.
You like to go to the desert.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
We'll say that I've smoked so much weed over the
years that my chest is like a clay court.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Now, obviously, the competition, I have heard that from many people,
oh being Patrick Rafter right, the competition was incredible, back
and forth, peaks, valleys, set, never got too far away
from one side. It's the new the new blood of
the tennis world too, I mean superstars, right, yeah. But
I think beyond all of that, like beyond the obvious things,
(16:52):
why why did I stay? What what turned me on
to stay and gage instead of walking outside and enjoying
the glorious day. I don't like the attached to a
TV on the weekend. I like to get the hell
out of the house. I think a lot of it
was the presentation, was the respect, was the class between
these two competitors, and what reminded me what sports used
(17:14):
to look like. You got two guys fighting for a
major championship. Everything's on the line, right the Open era
French Open, one of the most revered trophies in all
of sports and all the world. And you got a
few different calls that are pivotal, that do not go
and this was both sides alcarez Ansen or don't go
their way. And while you know they're a little upset,
(17:34):
it's acknowledged by the announcing team. They don't belabor the point.
They're not talking. Oh you know, you think about that
missed call, like they didn't have constantly bring it up.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
You end up leaving in tears like Cocoa Goff would
do all the time, or you know McEnroe freaking out
and having a meltdown, you know, which is very famous. Right,
that's what happens.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
If you, yes, Sabalanca crying her eyes on a side.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Right.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
If you concentrate on something bad, that happens. It drives
you insane. Like a ping pong game.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I mean, Alkarez basically gave up a point, you know,
a serve was out and he like pointed at the clay.
He's like, no, it's in. I mean, that's the kind
of class we were talking about. I watched the NBA
Finals later that night, and I got people flailing all
over the place. I got guaranteed every time up the court,
maybe not every time, but at least every third time
(18:22):
up the court, there is a player in the referees
here bitching about something. You got coach Carlisle getting castigated
by the media about why didn't you do this? Why
did you have that rotation. Why did't you play this
guy just all the second guessing the fact that baseball
replay takes five freaking minutes in a game that is
(18:43):
already incredibly slow. And I just I hate the stupid signals. Man.
I hate when they cut to the dugout and I
see the manager do the earmuffs, headphones, headphones or that.
You know how I feel about the spinning of the finger.
And in basketball, look at that, And in college they
can't review it. Stop spinning your finger because you're watching
(19:04):
NBA basket. It doesn't work that way. Here football just
done a nice shot.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
The waving around of the arms after the potential pass interference.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Call, right, I mean, at least college figured it out
and they just buzzed down and like, hey, you missed it.
Here we go, move on. The NFL is still doing
the BS charade of going to the and now he's
going to go to the Microsoft surface to get a
look at it. Oh, because this guy needs to stare
at a twelve inch monitor while in New York they've
got a seven hundred inch screen with seven thousand frames
(19:36):
per second.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
To break this down the field, Let's keep it right
down the field.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Let's keep it on the field because that makes sense
and it takes you extra and.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
I gotta be honest, I've been part of it where
we throw it back to New York and New York's like, hey,
we don't know, okay, call stands. I think I've been
behind the scenes on a couple of those call stands.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Let's keep it moving. Can't figure it out call stands.
I don't need to NBC it. Let's keep it moving.
The NBA, you got all these timeouts, and these come
by the final two minutes take a half hour, even
in blowouts because they're still fouling guys to elongate the game.
And that's look, we know the last two minutes of
football is no better. You know, you still got the
(20:15):
spike end of the ball and getting out of bounds
and the call on the timeout.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
It's okay, I mean, you know, save the clock. We're
going to make a drive.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
But this was a straightforward, heavyweight style fight. Yeah, number one,
number two. It took five and a half. I did
it feel like it was five and a half hours? Yeah, yeah,
it did. Yeah, but it was an enjoyable five and
a half hours.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
It was like one of those things where You're like,
I can't believe this is still going.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
On, right, you know, but I wanted to leave the
house an hour ago and I'm still here.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
But honestly, I mean, that's what I mean. When I
played football, I just figured everybody else was, you know,
at every other sport and and you know, that's not right,
that's not the right way to think. And I learned
to box just a little for a couple of years
when I got done playing. Well, those guys are well
to get you know, to get to get some uh larcates,
(21:05):
but just to get some aggression out, you know. And
what I realized is, you know, football is so different
where we're all in our pads and we're all in
the tunnel, and we're all together, and we're all in
the huddle, and then we all go line up together
and we all go execute our job or however we're
supposed to do it. I mean, that's the thing about tennis. Now,
obviously nobody's getting punched in the head, but those people
are all alone. I mean, they're alone to the world
(21:26):
for hours. They're not allowed to be coached, can't coach them,
and it's a real mental.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
And none of those guys took a time out.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Yeah, it's a real real Uh, it's a it's an
unbelievable mental, mental exercise to watch great athletes fight it
out like that in front of the world for hours
and hours and hours and hours, and in a boxing match.
I mean it's very similar. You're naked to the world
or you know, UFC and I just have a tremendous
amount of respect for those athletes, you know, And and
(21:54):
I used to feel it a little bit just running
one hundred and the two hundred in high school. Just
the lead up, the anxiety, to the lead up to
those races where you know it's just you and your performance.
And I think that's a great element of it. And
once you get invested, it doesn't matter if it goes
for three days like those cricket matches.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Felt the same way when it was my time for
the solo on my cornet. It's the first chair. I know, like,
here it comes, this is just me. The rest of
the horn section is gonna go quiet, and I'm gonna
be playing my home I mean, I do know what
you know. I mean that sort of seriously. It would
freak me out when it was time to blow my horn.
Now I'll say this about these guys. My takeaway, you's
(22:35):
been blowing your own horn for a year. Where do
you think it started with that cornet? The NBA game
felt I get dragged on for ten hours, even though
it was like three the takeaway.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
I have to be honest, I forgot it even happened. Yeah,
I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
This is what my takeaway became, obviously, pace and just
the replay and the constant replay, and the timeouts and
the arguing of a when it comes to players on
the court. Ultimately, this is what I came to. Stop
trying to gain the system. Stop trying to gain some
sort of advantage by arguing your failure, your things that
(23:14):
were your fault, demanding a challenge when you know you
freaking hammered the guy's forearm. You could feel it.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
So stop.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
It's just gonna slow the game down. It muddies things up,
It makes what's a beautiful presentation ugly. And these two dudes,
just for five and a half hours, seemed to operate perfectly,
the respect for each other. I think it was Anderson
he was on the call. Is that who it was?
With McEnroe. I watched it on me he he belabored,
(23:47):
He belabored. The sinner had the three month suspension for
a trace ped in a system a few times too many.
It's like, you know what, we've all been watching, dude,
we know the story, but outside of that, you had
a classy affair with two guys that were willing to
take a few missed calls, that were able to overcome
(24:08):
their mistakes, and like you said, naked to the world,
just the two of them. It was ba it was yeah,
It's like, dude, I got it. I fine, suspended three
months PDS trace amounts in his system. It's like the
fourth time you've said it now, I guess it was
five and a half hours, so maybe once an hour's
not that bad.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
But you know, this guy Pete hot.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
But people, can you take a little page from the
class that Alcharezen Center showed one another in the game
of tennis and stopped trying to get the ref to
give you a call and stop calling for the challenge?
Speaker 3 (24:43):
The answer is probably no, sadly, but it was a
great moment. And now we got Wimbledon coming up, can't wait,
and then the US Open right before football.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
I'm gonna be Brandon Staley over there. We're gonna have
a great time. Oh, stay's going, gentlemen. I just returned
from Wimbledon and it was one of the most amazing
sporting experiences I've ever had in my life. Did you
wear all white? Of course I did, and it told
me that I'm going to go for it at every
fourth down. I don't care what anybody's at, I don't care. Well,
(25:15):
you're right, Matt. It was an inspirational sporting event and
the most inspirational of the weekend. There's no doubt about it.
And you're right to say that class tradition, absolute and
total concentration. No trying to game the system, no trying
to wave the finger, no trying to head back to
the replay, very efficient replay system in tennis. We move
(25:38):
on and we move on.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Well, yes we do. To your dad and a live guy. Birthday.
The day coming up next on a MODELO meets a
lot of Monday.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Hello PMS listener, did you know Am five seventy LA
Sports has a wide range of LA Sports podcasts. There's
Rogan and Rodney.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
That one is my favorite.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Dodger Talk with David Vasse, the Dodger podcast of record,
Clipper Talk without a musk follow us all and many more.
Just go to a five seventy LA Sports on the
iHeartRadio AP We appreciate everybody listening. Coming up in the
next segment, we'll do the fun fact and the quick hits,
as it is a two to.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Five thirty sparts start time. First pitch at six forty
Dodgers versus San Diego.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
This series we've all been waiting for. Yeah, first time
that these two teams will tangle. We talked about it repeatedly,
just the Rockies and then of course a couple with
the Diamondbacks a month later. And now we're finally getting
into the incredibly competitive NL West with this series against
the Padres, then the Giants Padres again. As we make
our way through what David Vessey is called just got
(26:48):
to go five hundred all these injuries. Just go five
hundred by the end of June and you'll feel pretty
damn good about how this thing turns out. Going one
and two in Saint Louis certainly doesn't help, though, no.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
No, oh, it certainly doesn't. And listening to Chip Carry
sit there and bloviate about how Freddie Freeman's his best
friend in the world, and I texted Vassay, is Freddie
Freeman friends with this Chip? Carry guy says I never
seen him together.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
You're living off your dad's name, Chip.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
I think it's his grandfather.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
That's right, Well, actually both of them. His grandfather, Harry,
his dad was the longtime voice for Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
So yeah, but for me, you know exactly, I was like,
Harry Carrey's that guy's dad. He must be really old,
is I know? No, he's his grandfather Grandpa. We do
have Rock and Bruise on Friday, and we expect you
to be there. The twelfth annual Petrosen Money Summer Tour
is here, Matt and this Friday, we will cast our
(27:50):
line into the wild seas of great sports talk, great
sports talk.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
The Popeye theme kind of hit me over the weekend too.
I do think we can maybe do a little something
with the Popeye theme. Oh you want to change everything?
Huh No, No, I do change it all.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
You don't want to play the Popeye. I was thinking
we have some Popeye competitions we can mix in there
as well. We got the fishing, we got the Popeye.
And why do we have competitions because we have prizes,
Dodger tickets, five hundred dollars gift card to Living Spaces,
tonight get away to Las Vegas, MGM properties, and a
(28:28):
Rock and Bruised gift card. Actually Rock and Bruce gift
cards multiple and you know we always squeeze a little
extra to Dave. We swaally's there, so we'll figure that out.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Matt will do that during the commercial bridge, right, your
dead guy birthday and today today somebody who you definitely
probably have heard of but maybe don't know that much
about Coal Porter. We celebrate Cole Porter today. He would
have been thirty four years old too, a very homosexual
(29:01):
writer of many of our most popular American songs of
all time. Yes, a very rich young man from Peru, Indiana.
His father was a pharmacist, which is not really that
back then lucrative unless you're like a really big drug dealer.
(29:23):
But his mom's dad was a coal and timber prospector,
the richest man in Indiana.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I'll sell you some Xenex behind the place.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Just yeah, that's not doing it. That's not having you
grow up in the biggest house in Indiana and all that.
So he was very, very rich. His grandfather wanted him
to be a lawyer. He went to Yale, where he
wrote a bunch of fight songs for them, and then
Harvard Long where he would play piano and entertain his friends.
Eventually ended up defying his grandfather and taking up music.
(29:57):
He also loved to live lavishly the nightlife, and during
World War One he moved to Paris. Did serve in
the French Foreign Legion, which people are like, there's no
way this guy served in the French Foreign Legion, But
he did. There is documentation, and he had a small
piano that he could carry to entertain the troops in
the bivoue.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
He would run a score while they were stuck in
the trench warfare.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Basically, Ye, that's what he did. And when he wasn't
doing that, Carl Porter lived in luxury apartments in Paris,
cross dressing, recreational drugs, a lot of crazy bisexual parties.
He married a rich Louisville arrest and uh she was
(30:40):
like his beard. She was in no doubt of his sexuality,
but uh, she liked the status all those. Yeah. She
did try to get him more into classical music and
edge him away from Broadway, which was seen as a
little less you know, a little more body, then.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
You're gonna to say she did try to get him
into her lady parts. No, no, it's not interested in
that at all.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
At some point, I'm sure they consummated their marriage, but
none of it, though dulled his taste for the extravagant.
Porter had a slow start but became an absolute sensation
in Broadway and the West End and then Hollywood. His
first musical in nineteen twenty eight, Paris, was a gigantic hit,
and it had the song Let's do It, Let's Fall
(31:29):
in love, wake Up and Dream, had what is This
Thing Called Love? Which was an amazing Sinatra staple, and
other highlights. The New Yorkers has a street walker singing
love for sale, very very famous song, and Night and
Day was in Fred Astairs the Gay Divorce Night and Day.
(31:53):
You are the one that's a huge song. I get
a kick out of you. Another very big one, the Lovely,
a huge one. Anything Goes has Anything Goes global songs
and they all became jazz standards everywhere. Cole Porter loved
(32:14):
ethel Merman and championed her like Irving Berlin championed him.
He had a bad horse accident a horse rolled over
him and broke both of his legs, and he lived
out the rest of his life in terrible pain, but
did have another hit musical in the late forties and
died of inphysema in the early fifties. But Cole Porter
(32:41):
basically wrote at least the third of the Great American
Songbook and a lot of songs that are still interpreted today,
mostly by jazz artists. But the Broadway vibe cannot be
denied either. Cole Porter who did serve in the French
Foreign Legion in World War One and played some really
(33:04):
jaunty tunes while people were, you know, having their legs amputated,
which is why he refused to have his legs amputated
after the horse accident.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I'm just gonna live in incredible pain, but I'm gonna
keep these.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Legs, keeping my legs. He is a member of the
American Theater Hall of Fame and the Great American Songbook
Hall of Fame. There's his Steinway which is displayed in
the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York,
and he has a plaque on the Legacy Walk in
Chicago that celebrates gay people who have also achieved great
(33:42):
things now Coleport he's one of them. Just talked about him,
kiss me, Kate Mack, you know, I mean, you just
can't beat these songs.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
And then he goes, you're a live guy. Also a musician.
P James Newton Howard Happy seventy fourth, same theme, But
certainly I think more people know songs by Cole Porter
than James Newton Howard. But now do you know a lot.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Of his songs. Guy's been around a long time at
Cole Porter.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
One hundred films, He's got Grammys, he's got Emmys, he's
got nine Oscar nominations. Born in la family of musicians.
He was born to Thatcher School in Ohai, Music Academy
of the West, then the USC School of Music for piano,
but he dropped out after six weeks. He's just too good.
He joined Mama Lion with Lynn Carey. They were big
(34:31):
in Canada, but he really shined in the studio sessions.
While he was struggling living to paycheck to paycheck. It
was Elton John met him and made him his touring keyboardist.
He would do that for a decade, but the big
money came in his arrangements. He did this one for Elton,
Don't go Break in My Heart and also sorry seems
to be the hardest words. So that made him a
bunch of money. And if you question his studio musician credentials,
(34:56):
he was part of Toto. He did the keys for Toto,
so you got serious studio chops.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Well, that's the greatest studio superman of all time, Matt.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
And then who tabbed him p eighty four. When it
came to scoring films, Dune David Lynch, and that opened
the floodgates. Got such a weird time, it really is.
This dude does weird soundtracks. But he did do Pretty Woman,
and then he got his Oscar for Prince of Tides.
He did all the music for The Fugitive. He also
(35:27):
did Michael Clayton that got him another Oscar. Glengary Glenn
Ross like really weird, eerie score. When it comes to movies,
you run the spectrum of this guy because you got
gleng Gary Glenn Ross, and then you got Space Jam
and Dante's Peak in there as well.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Well. Dante's Peak was a volcano movie.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
I think it was Pierce Brosnan, right, and it was
that a volcano movie. I think they were like in
the Arctic hiking and there was like a fight between them,
and there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
It's not the same one as Tommy Lee Jones and
the late and Hash earthquake.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
It could be what have we got, Kates, you looked
it up, Pierce bros And Linda Hamilton, All right, Hamilton,
do you got the plot?
Speaker 3 (36:06):
There?
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Opposite volcano ologist Harry Dalton and Mayor Richard Rachel, Wanda
finally convinced the unbelieving populace that the big One is
about to hit and that they need to evacuate immediately,
only to discover her two children have gone up to
the top of the Dante's Peak. Well done. I think
(36:28):
I was thinking of the Anthony Hopkins film on the Mountain,
whatever the hell that thing was called, with the wolf.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Oh, the one, the one where he's Alec Baldwin is
having sex with his wife and then that bear eats
the black guy from Odds exactly right.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
That one, whatever, that thing was the edge by.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
The way we saw, Yeah, we saw that one as
the USC football team and people were very unhappy that
Baldwin was having.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
But you know what, most importantly we celebrate in today
p because he did the score for water World, and
without that music, we wouldn't have the universal exhibit water World,
Man Cow. He won his Emmy for writing the theme
to Er. He scored all of m Night Shyamalan's films.
Peter Jackson picked him to score King Kong. He won
a Golden Globe for that. Hans Zimmer leaned on him
(37:18):
to do the Batman films that he scored, Dark Knight,
Batman Begins. He taught at the Royal Academy of Music
in London, and he wanted to get out. Didn't like
doing the films anymore until the Hunger Games came. See him,
Catnus needs you, she doesn't die, you idiot, Hey, James Newton, Howard,
it's Primrose that die. Catnus needs you. So he moved
(37:38):
back to the States, did all the Fantastic Beasts movies,
and then the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. How about this though,
personal life, married Rosanna Arqutt in eighty six Peak Arquette.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Oh, that's desperately seeking Susan Arki.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Yeah, and then they divorce and he has a short
year and a half long relationship with Babs, and then
he marries his current wife, with whom he has his son.
He still scoring films, did something called The Lost Bus
this year, and he did All The Light We Cannot
See for Netflix, got nominated for another Emmy for that one.
He's seventy four. James Newton Howard married to Rosanna Arquette,
(38:20):
had a fling with Babs, and now is married to
some lady named Sophia.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
So I don't think it just seems like an insensitive
choice for June.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Well, I just did feel like he's not gonna be
on the Gay Walk of Fame.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Maybe you should have found a guy it was.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
I mean, I figured you had it covered. Can't we
cover the whole spectrum matter?
Speaker 3 (38:37):
No, we can't. Not in June, Matt, you.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Want to wave the flag? Wave it? You know, tomorrow's
my day.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
I gotta suitcase full of flags.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Why are you gay?
Speaker 3 (38:45):
It says, I'm kidding you are gay. We'll be back.
This is gonna ruin the tour. What tour a world tour.
We'll be back in a matter of moments. We'll do
the fun fact that the quick, and then we'll get
you out to San Diego where the Dodgers start a
(39:05):
pivotal series against their rival, the San Diego Padres
