Vince Scully's proclamations, right, and we had hundreds of.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Them, had many of these in my father's restaurant over
the years that people from different cities would bring in.
And I I mean I could dig them out and
bring them to the studio, I know, bringing that copy
of Raders of Lost Stark Tomorrow, which this City of
Sorino's proclamation. Whereas The Petros and Money Show, an acclaimed

of Southern Californian football team, has distinguished himself as a

Yes, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
We just the holds. Just the scene, a sea of chicks.
I mean, it's crazy over here, right, really pull that?
And this says, hey, we pulled chicks all right. This
is in reference to something that was said on Wisconsin
local radio earlier in the year, as their football team
has been struggling. No, just came up with a big
(10:23):
victory over you dub in Camp Randall on Saturday. And
it says, is it okay if we come to bjys
and boo in the bar?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Person sitting next to me boom, I don't get your
ass out of here.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
We don't need you in here.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
You you don't want to watch this, Go someplace else.
Go boo in a bar. You know, I just really
upsets me.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Go boo in a bar.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Boo and a bar where the team, the Lakers losing?
Would you want to boo them in the bar?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Go someplace else? Go boo in a bar.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
Boo doesn't feel effective. Boo Jordan love boo. It's the
whole point of booing somebody so they can hear you, right,
and you're trying to intimidate them with your booze. You're
playing terrible. Hear my boot you're unhappy with the play
call or the product. Booing a bar. So if you're
booing in a bar, I mean I think the bartender
(11:15):
might be upset. Yeah, that means a bad drinking some
ladies problem.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Go someplace else, go booon a bar.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I what if I don't want to go someplace else.
I'm a season ticket holder here at Wisconsin.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
I just really upsets me.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, I'm sorry that upsets your coach. I mean, you've
built the program, you've.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Been in sports years, You've never heard fans booing.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
You let him fire Paul Chris, and now Oregon State
wants to hire him.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
So anyway, go someplace else, go booon a bar.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
We are at a bar.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
Now, if people boot here, they could boo us. They
could boo a top story, they could boo that. That's fine,
that makes sense. We can hear your booze and it'll
emotionally affect us.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Oh there's no doubt.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
But it's not going to hurt anybody in the Wisconsin
program won't be effective. We want to hurt you.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
That's Texas from somebody in the building, like a murderer
or something. It's not the first time I've been intimidated
here and it texts I can't here in the back.

Apparently people don't want to go to Eric Church. I
don't know what's going on. Man pull two numbers. Kate says, hell,
they thought that they don't want to go. It's just
you know, some people come here early. They hang out
for a cup.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Like Scott, one of our listeners, is leaving because it's
his seventieth birthday.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Simes. Kids are gonna take him out, and he's like,
I can't stay. Round of applause for Scott so and
he won the helmet. The Strauss helmet look good on him,
fit him. Yeah. So, I mean some people can't be
here the whole time. It doesn't mean that Eric Church
doesn't have any fans. I mean, let's bell come on.
We're live at the Bjay's Restaurant in Burrows. We're gonna
(13:58):
be here till six thirty, even though the football game
has already started. We have Clipper Pregame to look forward
to here on the radio. But joining us right now
on your Toyota Dealers Celebrity Hotline. It is Ben Bolch
of the La Times, covering UCLA football very varied, not
(14:21):
so much the season, even though they're not gonna go defeated.
They've won a few games. But what's going on off
the field with UCLA trying to move to so far
and now an injunction has been filed, millions of dollars
are going to change hands. Everybody's got an idea what
should happen. Nobody knows what the real solution is or
(14:42):
will be, so to tell us all about it. After
UCLA just lost to Nebraska with their backup quarterback at home.
Is our friend from the La Times, Ben Bolch. Ben,
what's Crockett? How are you?
Speaker 5 (14:57):
I'm great, always great to be with you, gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
An So how much did this whole thing catch you
off guard? I mean, obviously you cover this very intensely,
and you do an excellent job, if we do say
so ourselves. But how much did this catch you off guard?
And how deep are you going to have to dig
into this as far as you know local city, real estate, university,
(15:20):
red tape and all this fighting.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Then, yeah, there's a lot to unpack here. To your point,
there's going to be a lot to come here. The
interesting thing and the imminent decision that appears on the
horizon is Wednesday morning. There is a court date in
downtown and Los Angeles Superior Court to decide whether to
(15:43):
grant this temporary injunction temporary restraining order that the city
capacity in the Road Bowl is requesting against UCLA to
force them to stay at the Rose Bowl until this
matter can be resolved. I'm not going to tend to
be a lawyer or a legal expert, so I don't
really know.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Probably, man, we're live at a bar, so you're probably
gonna do better than us.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Well, you know, in the filing they did, they did
site some precedents of of you know, other teams that
have been trying to leave, even temporarily, and we're granted
the injunctions and had to stay. So you know, there's
president precedent in similar situations that might work in the
Rose Bulls favor. We have not seen uh UCLA, or
(16:30):
at least I have not seen that it's been filed.
UCLA's response to this. UH will be eminently filed, I'm
sure before Wednesday, so I'll be keeping an eye out
for that. But we should have some, at least some
I think clarity on next season here pretty soon, right,
because the Rose bull needs to know, Hey, are we
going to be able to lock you in for at
(16:51):
least next season so that we can continue operations. I mean,
they've got they've got people that they're trying to renew
for you know, rubs suite for next season, right, So
they need to get this decided at least for next
season here pretty quickly.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Ben.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
I think we asked you this last time you came on.
But considering now, it looks like they really want to
make it happen for twenty twenty six. Why is UCLA
doing this when they have a contract that's supposed to
run through like twenty forty three.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Why so far?
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Like, what's what's the idea behind this whole thing that
sounds like it's going to cost them millions of dollars
at the very least in legal fees.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Yeah, it's gonna be a big check cutting no matter what, right,
I mean, unless they just drop it inside to stay.
So I mean, but the bottom line is money from
what I've been able to gather, UCLA thinks that even
with cutting some kind of really sizable check. And I
think we're talking probably at the very least, you know,
a nine figure settlement here, that even taking that into account,
(17:56):
they're going to be able to come out ahead by
moving to so far right, because the bottom line is
they locked themselves into a long term deal at the
Rose Bowl where they don't get sweet revenue, don't get
sponsorship revenue, get a very small percentage of parking and
concessions and things like that. So you know, there's a
lot of money that they think they're they're losing an
(18:17):
opportunity cost that they would get it so far right.
And I think that this is being driven actually above
from above the athletics department. I think that the university
has taking a look at these debts that they've had
six years in a row now and said, hey, wait
a minute. You know they just cut them a thirty
million dollar check last year to kind of kind of
even to balance the budget, and they're they're looking for
(18:40):
ways to get this, you know, closer to a sustainable operation.
And I think that's really at the heart of this.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
So if you know, just kind of based on where
you're going with that, Ben, kind of what I'm interpreting
is this isn't about an empty Rose bowl. I guess
it is, because if there's people there, they're paying money.
But this is more kind of corporate as opposed to
student body. It's like, hey, we need to get paid
for the parking lot, we need to get paid for signage.
(19:08):
It's that sort of thing as opposed to can we
find a place to play football where our student body's
going to pack the house and we're going to have
a good vibe out there.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Yeah, I mean I think that they like the fact
that obviously so far as closer to campus and you know,
there's a large percentage of UCLA fans on the West side,
I think that's you know, part of it. But the
bottom line is the bottom line, if I do say so, so,
you know, this is all about the dollar signs. This
is all about improving their financial situation because, as you know,
(19:39):
there's just so many challenges now financially for every college
athletic program. And I will say, I think part of
this willingness to do this knowing they're going to have
to pay money in the Rose Bowl is glooming deal
with the Big ten, with the you know, UC pension
system where retirement system, where they think they can get
(20:02):
one hundred and forty million dollars up front. Right, So
that's a nice chuck of change that they might be
able to have at their disposed disposal to offset whatever
they have to pay out to the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
But this doesn't solve their problem as far as attracting
people to football games, right, I mean you would you
would say.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Yeah, I mean, you know, as I put in my story,
they they played It's so far in the La Bowl
in twenty twenty three and the crowd was only thirty
two thousand, and that that that's lower than their season
average this year when they're on pace to set an
all time local right now, they're averaging thirty seven thousand.
(20:41):
And I would say, you know, for that for that
Bowl game, a big chuck of that was Boise State fan.
So you know that's a whole separate conversation. I mean
the tenants drop off and what they need to do.
I mean, let's let's be honest. They need to hire
a home run, make a home run higher with their coach,
right and get somebody in there that's and to get
this thing back at least to what it was during
(21:02):
their early Jim Moore years. So that's going to be
the goal now on that front.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Yeah, who would have thought that Jim Mora was the
last UCLA coach to consistently attract a crowd at the
Rose Bowl. But that's the truth. Ben boltch joining us
right now talking about the UCLA situation trying to move
to SOFI now, stupid idiot, giant headed football players that
don't understand homeowners associations like me, Ben, I just came
(21:31):
from UCF where they used to be swallowed up by
the Citrus Bowl and now it's the Camping World Stadium,
and they moved to an on campus stadium and now
they're in the Big twelve and more of a thriving program.
Two lane with a similar situation, moving to a smaller
stadium on campus, away from the Superdome and becoming more relevant,
(21:54):
certainly in their world of college football. It's totally and
completely out of the question that UCLA could ever have
an on campus facility that was smaller and then play
the bigger games in a so fire the Rose Bowl.
Why is that so out of the realm of possibility.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Well, it's a good question, and it's one I get
emailed pretty much almost every day. I mean, I think
the big answer is that, you know, the UC regents,
when when this was looked at back in the sixties,
basically said because of some of the homeowners in that
area that put the cabash on it. They said, Okay,
(22:36):
we're going to have Drake Stadium, the Track Stadium, but
we're never going to have a football stadium there. And
they've basically committed to that. I mean, they've got underground
parking there, they've got homeowners associations that would be very
much against that. So there's a lot of political wrangling
that I think, and I've been asking that question as well,
but I don't think there's any sort of momentum toward
(22:58):
being able to do that. And I think it would
just be too difficult, given you know, kind of the
landscape and what's already been put in place there.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Ben to shift to the on the field product kind
of what what happens with with Nico Imlava after this season?
Is he going to the NFL? Is there a bigger
check out there?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Like what do you?
Speaker 6 (23:21):
How do you think?
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Because it's not from what I understand, it's not a
great quarterback class there certainly does not feel like there's
a consensus number one overall pick. So how does this
thing end for him at UCLA?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Yeah, I've been thinking about that a lot lately. But
I'll say, first of all, been super impressed with Nikar.
I think he's been everything they wanted and more. I mean,
he's done just a fabulous job of running this offense.
I mean he's taken so many hits. He's there, you know,
he's there leading rusher on the season, and he just
there's so many times he just gets smashed and I'm
(23:53):
just like kind of wincing and he gets up and
it's just fine. And he's also been super accountable. He's
met with us after every law put it on his shoulders.
So he's a true baller. I've really been impressed with him,
you know, and he's got great character too. I wouldn't
be surprised, you know, at Big Ten Media Day. He
said that if he had the season he wanted, he
(24:13):
would go on and go to the NFL. But I
think he really is enjoying his time, even with kind
of the up and downs that they've had this year.
And frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if he came back
for one more year, especially if they got a coach
that really connected with him and sold him on, you know,
a vision, and maybe brought a good chunk of his
roster with him for kind of like that Indiana infusion
(24:34):
of talent. I could see a scenario where we see
Nko back with the Bruins in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Somebody better tell Casey's got to ride a pretty big
check along with the Rose Bowl legal fees. The great
Ben boltch our guest. The last time we talked to you, Ben,
we were Matt and I were at a bar, but
we were at a casino bar. This time we're at
a much more acceptable bar here in Curritos, and it
was Lane Kiffin that was maybe a hotter name for
(25:04):
UCLA at the time. Now I think he's going to
be offered a lot of other jobs and living in
Manhattan Beach probably is not going to be enough to
bring him out to the West Coast. Maybe he's going
to jump to the NFL, or maybe he'll stay at Ole,
Miss who knows. But who do you think now, as
it's been a month or so since we talked, is
(25:25):
in UCLA's wheelhouse to hire as a coach. I mean,
Jim Mora just filled up that freaking stadium in stores
for Yukon. Not that they want to go on that
ride again. But who do you think UCLA is looking
at right now? And who do you think is going
to make the higher.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Yeah, I mean the landscape has completely changed since our
last conversation, right, so, so many more big time jobs
have opened up. I'm going to take a lot of
people off the table that you say might have been
able to get previously. So I think really the two
paths for them. You know, if I was running the
search up to say that going to do this, but
I think you know an up and coming kind of
(26:03):
group of five guys, uh or you know a big
time coordinator like will Stein at Oregon. I think those
are the kind of the two paths. But I think
the bottom line is you want to get somebody who's
not going to be at u c l A for
two or three years, but it's going to try to
stay and make this their own thing, right, kind of
become the Dan Landing of Westland. I know that's you know,
(26:26):
that's asking a lot there, but I think you want
to get some money. Who's who's uh really going to
be able to put their stamp on this and and
be proud of what they've done and and and you know,
really built with this program and not just use it
as a stepping stone. If I'm running the committee, Uh,
that's that's what I would want, I do think you know,
as I think we talked last time, having Bob Myers
(26:48):
and Adam Peters the Commander's GM. Those are two heavyweight
uh sports figures, really smart guys. They're part of this process.
So that gives me a lot of confidence that they're
gonna kick guitires on a lot of quality people and
probably be able to come it with somebody pretty darn good.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
All right, Ben, you're gonna have to slip some punches tonight.
You got basketball to cover, right.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
That's right, No Donovan dead tonight, Petros he's out.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
It's gonna be what's wrong with you got him?
Speaker 5 (27:15):
I'm breaking some news here, muscle strain. He's but it's
only precautionary, so it's probably you know, if this was
the Arizona game on Friday, he probably played. But they're
gonna take it easy with him tonight against West Georgia.
Probably the right moves.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
All right, as long as it's the questions. What just
ask the questions? Okay, all right, we'll get there. I
just as long as they're not playing that strip mall
team from Hawaii. Why don't I saw beat Boise? Thanks
a lot, Ben, have a great night. Thanks for doing it, dude, right.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Enjoy yourselves, appreciate your time. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
You always do here at the BJ's Restaurant in brew House.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Are you asking a question there?
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Ben?
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Gotta bring your a game if you're gonna spar with
Mick cronin.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Here'd you leaked the Donovan Dead stuff on the PM show?
Speaker 7 (28:00):
There?
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Ben? Who told you could do that best radio show
in town?
Speaker 7 (28:03):
You said it, Coach, exactly right, Petrosen money the best
show in town.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
We don't have people booing at a bar, not yet,
but there is a guy cheering at the bar. He
makes sense.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
I think that makes sense. You know why, because other
guys will give you high fives at the bar. They're
getting excited.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
But you know it's from a sound clip of Barry Alvarez.
It's a don't worry.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Yeah, it's just booing a bar.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Look, it's Bob Eiger trying to take the sting out
of the whole YouTube thing. Yeah that's gonna work.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
Oh yeah, I'm fine with it now.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Then in a live guy birth the other day coming
up next, We're going all the way till six thirty.

(29:28):
why we're not playing the Packer Eagle game right now.
That's on our sister station AM eleven fifty. But to
be honest, it looks like a snoozer, so you don't
want to hop over there. No Chargers v. Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I wanted to see what Bob Iger has.
Speaker 7 (29:40):

people here are wonderful and the city of Soritos a
big thank you to our guest today, Mayor Yoka Yama.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
Yeah, Frank Ben Boltch, who talked.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
About the UCLA Stadium situation a little bit as the
show has gone on, and we also talked to Dean
Blandino in our very first hour all about the rule
violation from my alma mater, the University of Southern California. Matt,
an interesting story for your dead guy. Birthday of the day.
It is Jamaican news, and I do this.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
It's Jamaica news, seems. St.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Vincent is the name of the gentleman whose birthday it is.
He would have been eighty five. He was in a
wheelchair having lost his legs. He lost my legs both
lay and you know why his legs fell off, Matt,
You guessed it. Diabetes, Oh, diabetes. As a young man,
(31:08):
his nickname was Tata or Tartar. Despite his disability as
a youth. That has said that he saved another youth
from drowning when he was a team so he could
swim even with no legs like our old friend. Recently,
on a road trip with Pat Cowan, Nick Nick Nick
Nick Eggbatani.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Kills us that we lost that jingle. It really was
one of the best, if not the best, we've ever had.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Nick Egbatani could swim with one leg, as has been
proven to swim with Mike event annually at usc anyway,
this guy, Vincent Ford, ran a soup kitchen in trench Town, Kingston,
which of course is where Bob Marley was from, hence
the controversy. Bob Marley was close friends with Tatam and
(31:59):
Bob changed his songwriting credits from who Had Him to
Chris Blackwell at Island Records who You Met Once Once
and Vincent because of that, and because of the transition,
is listed as the songwriter for nineteen seventy four's No Woman.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
No Crime.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
He's also listed as the songwriter for Crazy Bald Head,
and he's also listed as the songwriter to Positive Vibration,
and he's also listed as the songwriter for Roots Rock Reggae.
Now did he write the songs.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
Love.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
He's never said, but it is generally believed that Bob
parceled off lots of his credits. He didn't want any
of his new songs associated with somebody he had a
contract with before, which was called Cayman Music, so he
put songs in the names of family members and close
(33:08):
friends to avoid contractual restrictions, and helped provide for friends
and Family like the Legless Tata four.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
What a Good Dude.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
In nineteen seventy five, Marlee did admit in an interview
that he wrote No Woman, No Cry in Tata's front.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Yard, contributed gave when asked by Marley's biographer.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Tata was asked at one point if he wrote the songs,
He answered, what do you think? Others say that he
inspired the songs through conversation. Bob's family went to court
and got all the credits. Well he was dead, but
got all the credits back eventually, and Ford died in
(34:06):
late two thousand and eight. The Marley estate now controls
Crazy Bald Head, No Woman, No Cry, Positive Vibration, and
roots rock reggae. But some interesting tidbits about Bob Marley
songs that most people know that Yes, Tim.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
Man, did you ask about a certain drop a few
minutes ago that we maybe lost?
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Oh do we have it?
Speaker 3 (34:34):
The Nick gg Batani thing? We have it, you just
don't have it. He's a dude with the.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Ball, but he's still less hard.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Let's find out what Nick has say.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
Yeah, yeah, well done, Steve Busch, very good, Thank you, Nick, Nick,
Nick Nick Batani.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
He's a dude with a prosthetic leg. He used to
play ball, but he still acts hard. Let's find out
with Nick casts to say, Nick Batani, he's a dude
with the prostatic kiss ball, but he's still laughs hard.
Let's find out what did Cast say? Hey beautiful and
(35:15):
I'm like David Vassey. He's transitioned back to his Persian
roots and goes now known by his original name, Amir.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
We love you, Amir, Amir, Amir, Amir e Batani. He's
a dude with a prosthetic leg. You still please all.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
But he's still laughs hard. Let's go down with Cast.
Speaker 7 (35:41):
Say hey, well, it's funny you do that for me
reciprocal I do this well, you know you've abably been
such a roots rock reggae guy.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
My favorite rosta man vibrations your album and it seems
like that's top top fours.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
That's my guy. Legless diabetes.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (35:56):
Daniel Waters he is sixty three today. He is the
older brother of Mark. Mark directed Mean Girls. It's in
the Family. Daniel is a screenwriter and we're going to
focus on one film in particular because while the particulars
are pretty incredible. He was born in Cleveland, raised in
South Bend, started and wrote a column titled Troubled Waters
for his high school newspaper that became super popular with
(36:18):
the student body, did some local sketch comedy, went to
Montreal to attend McGill University, and when he graduated, he
chased the Hollywood dream.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
He went to Malmtreal to attend.
Speaker 7 (36:34):
His uh Hollywood dream went the same way as Quinton Tarantino's.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
He was working as a video store clerk.
Speaker 7 (36:40):
In Hermosa not sure where, but while there he worked
on his craft and he began writing the screenplay in
the spring of nineteen eighty six for Heathers.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
It was a speck.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
He wanted Stanley Kubrick to direct the film, thinking it
would speak to him a similar approach as Doctor Strain
Love his favorite film. His pitch was Let's Run Opo
the Ouey gooey John Hughes coming of age teenage films
of the time by presenting something cynical of high school
imbued with dark satire. The Cafeteria Senior. The start of
(37:17):
Heathers was written as an homage to the barrack scene
that opens Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. So after a number
of failed attempts to get the script greenlit or accepted
by Kubrick, he approached director Michael Lahman, who agreed to
take it on. Some tweaks were made. The original version,
JD successfully blows up Westerberg High and the final scene
is a surreal prom gathering in Heaven. Studios were like, no,
(37:40):
we're not doing that. Lighten it up a little bit there.
Francis casting was polarizing. Waters early choices for Veronica were
Justine Bateman and Jennifer Connolly, but neither of their agents
wanted them to be part of a dark and weird
film like Heathers. Winona Ryder begged for the part, but
Waters told her straight up, you're not pretty enough. So
(38:05):
when Oda said she understood, she had blue hair, didn't
wear makeup, and was pale at the time. Out of Pedaluma,
she went to the Beverly Center and the Macy's, got
a makeover and came back and said how about now,
And she was cast, despite the protests of her agent.
Brad Pitt begged for the role of JD, but our
(38:29):
man Waters said, nah, I'm going with this. Wanna be
Jack Nicholson, guy, Christian Slater. Heather Graham was offered the
part of Heather Chandler, but her parents didn't.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
I don't see that.
Speaker 7 (38:43):
Heather Graham's parents said no, I don't like the script.
You're not doing it. So Slater's girlfriend took that role,
and Shannon Doherty, this is my favorite little tidbit from
the Heathers. She wanted the role of Ironica was offered.
Heather Chandler said no, thank you, gimme. Heather Duke said fine,
we want you to dye your hair blonde to match
the other girls. She said no. They met in the
(39:05):
middle with her red hair. They said she was a
handful on the set and at the cast. Yeah, Dougherty
at the cast viewing for the first time that anybody
saw the film after it was complete, she ran out crying.
Did not know it was a dark comedy. Thought it
was a serious drama and she might like to be
nominated for an Oscar or something.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
And sheminated for a dark comedy.
Speaker 7 (39:28):
I guess not. Waters would win the Edgar Award for
Best Picture. But it was a box office failure only
later became a cult. Yeah, it only made a million
seven at the box Yes.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
That's why big fun teenage suicide don't do it wasn't
that big of.
Speaker 6 (39:44):
A Wasn't you know who did that?
Speaker 7 (39:45):
All the guys that made all the RAM records, like
their engineer, their producer, were the guys from Big Fun.
Got a job for you, do Big Fun? Teenage suicide,
don't do it? That is our guy, brother of Mark
Danny Waters, the author of Heathers.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
What do we have to give away? Wet? We still
got some more dishes a while.
Speaker 7 (40:08):
All we have are the Charger Raider tickets and the
Anthony banda baseball and we have a fun fact, got
a fun fact in quick.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Hits, and then we'll say good night.
Speaker 7 (40:24):
Yes, hand it over to Adam for Clippers basketball losers
of four in a row and five of six.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
I think the best thing we got going is this
sweet proclamation from Mayor Frank Yoka Yama.
Speaker 6 (40:37):
And our Cerrito shirts, which are pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Sorito shirts have also been a bonus for us. This

LA Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app just gave

the Chief for something, Tim, This says City of Cerritos proclamation. Now,
Matt and I we love love Los Angeles localism. That's
part of the reason our show was not a generic

Vince Scully's proclamations, right, and we had hundreds of.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Them, had many of these in my father's restaurant over
the years that people from different cities would bring in.

bring them to the studio, I know, bringing that copy
of Raders of Lost Stark Tomorrow, which this City of

of Southern Californian football team, has distinguished himself as a
respected college football analyst for Fox Sports and co host

Speaker 3 (08:58):
This text is about the blue dogs that Matt was
talking about in Chernobyl and it says, it's bluey, you
idiots visiting from New Zealand. Look, I don't know about
blue Okay, I know about Huckleberry Hound. I'm forty eight.
I don't know about blue And I know about Huckleberry
Hound in human form, which is Roy Williams, the former
(09:20):
coach of the North Carolina tar Heels. And we all
know about Brian the dog from Family Guy in human
form Troy Aikman. We'll be performing tonight on ESPN. This says,
I know you and Money will be handing out bjys
(09:40):
to all the good looking male listeners later tonight.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Oh why do you think we keep coming here?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
And it's like, well, we've given away BJ's gift cards.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Exactly right. We got one more.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
And almost all of our listeners are men, and of
course they're all good looking except for this lovely.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Love you, thank you, and Liz, we love you too, Liz.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
No, we have plenty of women.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
Yes, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
We just the holds. Just the scene, a sea of chicks.
I mean, it's crazy over here, right, really pull that?
And this says, hey, we pulled chicks all right. This
is in reference to something that was said on Wisconsin
local radio earlier in the year, as their football team
has been struggling. No, just came up with a big
(10:23):
victory over you dub in Camp Randall on Saturday. And
it says, is it okay if we come to bjys
and boo in the bar?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Person sitting next to me boom, I don't get your
ass out of here.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
We don't need you in here.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
You you don't want to watch this, Go someplace else.
Go boo in a bar. You know, I just really
upsets me.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Go boo in a bar.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Boo and a bar where the team, the Lakers losing?
Would you want to boo them in the bar?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Go someplace else? Go boo in a bar.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
Boo doesn't feel effective. Boo Jordan love boo. It's the
whole point of booing somebody so they can hear you, right,
and you're trying to intimidate them with your booze. You're
playing terrible. Hear my boot you're unhappy with the play
call or the product. Booing a bar. So if you're
booing in a bar, I mean I think the bartender
(11:15):
might be upset. Yeah, that means a bad drinking some
ladies problem.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Go someplace else, go booon a bar.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I what if I don't want to go someplace else.
I'm a season ticket holder here at Wisconsin.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
I just really upsets me.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, I'm sorry that upsets your coach. I mean, you've
built the program, you've.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Been in sports years, You've never heard fans booing.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
You let him fire Paul Chris, and now Oregon State
wants to hire him.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
So anyway, go someplace else, go booon a bar.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
We are at a bar.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
Now, if people boot here, they could boo us. They
could boo a top story, they could boo that. That's fine,
that makes sense. We can hear your booze and it'll
emotionally affect us.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Oh there's no doubt.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
But it's not going to hurt anybody in the Wisconsin
program won't be effective. We want to hurt you.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
That's Texas from somebody in the building, like a murderer
or something. It's not the first time I've been intimidated
here and it texts I can't here in the back.
Crank up the speakers. Okay, turn that one around and
move it back. We only have we only have these speakers, sir,
we only have the two. I'm sorry if you can't hear.

road Trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
AAM five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Apparently people don't want to go to Eric Church. I
don't know what's going on. Man pull two numbers. Kate says, hell,
they thought that they don't want to go. It's just
you know, some people come here early. They hang out
for a cup.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Like Scott, one of our listeners, is leaving because it's
his seventieth birthday.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Simes. Kids are gonna take him out, and he's like,
I can't stay. Round of applause for Scott so and
he won the helmet. The Strauss helmet look good on him,
fit him. Yeah. So, I mean some people can't be
here the whole time. It doesn't mean that Eric Church
doesn't have any fans. I mean, let's bell come on.
We're live at the Bjay's Restaurant in Burrows. We're gonna
(13:58):
be here till six thirty, even though the football game
has already started. We have Clipper Pregame to look forward
to here on the radio. But joining us right now
on your Toyota Dealers Celebrity Hotline. It is Ben Bolch
of the La Times, covering UCLA football very varied, not
(14:21):
so much the season, even though they're not gonna go defeated.
They've won a few games. But what's going on off
the field with UCLA trying to move to so far
and now an injunction has been filed, millions of dollars
are going to change hands. Everybody's got an idea what
should happen. Nobody knows what the real solution is or
(14:42):
will be, so to tell us all about it. After
UCLA just lost to Nebraska with their backup quarterback at home.
Is our friend from the La Times, Ben Bolch. Ben,
what's Crockett? How are you?
Speaker 5 (14:57):
I'm great, always great to be with you, gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
An So how much did this whole thing catch you
off guard? I mean, obviously you cover this very intensely,
and you do an excellent job, if we do say
so ourselves. But how much did this catch you off guard?
And how deep are you going to have to dig
into this as far as you know local city, real estate, university,
(15:20):
red tape and all this fighting.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Then, yeah, there's a lot to unpack here. To your point,
there's going to be a lot to come here. The
interesting thing and the imminent decision that appears on the
horizon is Wednesday morning. There is a court date in
downtown and Los Angeles Superior Court to decide whether to
(15:43):
grant this temporary injunction temporary restraining order that the city
capacity in the Road Bowl is requesting against UCLA to
force them to stay at the Rose Bowl until this
matter can be resolved. I'm not going to tend to
be a lawyer or a legal expert, so I don't
really know.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Probably, man, we're live at a bar, so you're probably
gonna do better than us.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Well, you know, in the filing they did, they did
site some precedents of of you know, other teams that
have been trying to leave, even temporarily, and we're granted
the injunctions and had to stay. So you know, there's
president precedent in similar situations that might work in the
Rose Bulls favor. We have not seen uh UCLA, or
(16:30):
at least I have not seen that it's been filed.
UCLA's response to this. UH will be eminently filed, I'm
sure before Wednesday, so I'll be keeping an eye out
for that. But we should have some, at least some
I think clarity on next season here pretty soon, right,
because the Rose bull needs to know, Hey, are we
going to be able to lock you in for at
(16:51):
least next season so that we can continue operations. I mean,
they've got they've got people that they're trying to renew
for you know, rubs suite for next season, right, So
they need to get this decided at least for next
season here pretty quickly.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Ben.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
I think we asked you this last time you came on.
But considering now, it looks like they really want to
make it happen for twenty twenty six. Why is UCLA
doing this when they have a contract that's supposed to
run through like twenty forty three.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Why so far?
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Like, what's what's the idea behind this whole thing that
sounds like it's going to cost them millions of dollars
at the very least in legal fees.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Yeah, it's gonna be a big check cutting no matter what, right,
I mean, unless they just drop it inside to stay.
So I mean, but the bottom line is money from
what I've been able to gather, UCLA thinks that even
with cutting some kind of really sizable check. And I
think we're talking probably at the very least, you know,
a nine figure settlement here, that even taking that into account,
(17:56):
they're going to be able to come out ahead by
moving to so far right, because the bottom line is
they locked themselves into a long term deal at the
Rose Bowl where they don't get sweet revenue, don't get
sponsorship revenue, get a very small percentage of parking and
concessions and things like that. So you know, there's a
lot of money that they think they're they're losing an
(18:17):
opportunity cost that they would get it so far right.
And I think that this is being driven actually above
from above the athletics department. I think that the university
has taking a look at these debts that they've had
six years in a row now and said, hey, wait
a minute. You know they just cut them a thirty
million dollar check last year to kind of kind of
even to balance the budget, and they're they're looking for
(18:40):
ways to get this, you know, closer to a sustainable operation.
And I think that's really at the heart of this.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
So if you know, just kind of based on where
you're going with that, Ben, kind of what I'm interpreting
is this isn't about an empty Rose bowl. I guess
it is, because if there's people there, they're paying money.
But this is more kind of corporate as opposed to
student body. It's like, hey, we need to get paid
for the parking lot, we need to get paid for signage.
(19:08):
It's that sort of thing as opposed to can we
find a place to play football where our student body's
going to pack the house and we're going to have
a good vibe out there.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Yeah, I mean I think that they like the fact
that obviously so far as closer to campus and you know,
there's a large percentage of UCLA fans on the West side,
I think that's you know, part of it. But the
bottom line is the bottom line, if I do say so, so,
you know, this is all about the dollar signs. This
is all about improving their financial situation because, as you know,
(19:39):
there's just so many challenges now financially for every college
athletic program. And I will say, I think part of
this willingness to do this knowing they're going to have
to pay money in the Rose Bowl is glooming deal
with the Big ten, with the you know, UC pension
system where retirement system, where they think they can get
(20:02):
one hundred and forty million dollars up front. Right, So
that's a nice chuck of change that they might be
able to have at their disposed disposal to offset whatever
they have to pay out to the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
But this doesn't solve their problem as far as attracting
people to football games, right, I mean you would you
would say.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Yeah, I mean, you know, as I put in my story,
they they played It's so far in the La Bowl
in twenty twenty three and the crowd was only thirty
two thousand, and that that that's lower than their season
average this year when they're on pace to set an
all time local right now, they're averaging thirty seven thousand.
(20:41):
And I would say, you know, for that for that
Bowl game, a big chuck of that was Boise State fan.
So you know that's a whole separate conversation. I mean
the tenants drop off and what they need to do.
I mean, let's let's be honest. They need to hire
a home run, make a home run higher with their coach,
right and get somebody in there that's and to get
this thing back at least to what it was during
(21:02):
their early Jim Moore years. So that's going to be
the goal now on that front.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Yeah, who would have thought that Jim Mora was the
last UCLA coach to consistently attract a crowd at the
Rose Bowl. But that's the truth. Ben boltch joining us
right now talking about the UCLA situation trying to move
to SOFI now, stupid idiot, giant headed football players that
don't understand homeowners associations like me, Ben, I just came
(21:31):
from UCF where they used to be swallowed up by
the Citrus Bowl and now it's the Camping World Stadium,
and they moved to an on campus stadium and now
they're in the Big twelve and more of a thriving program.
Two lane with a similar situation, moving to a smaller
stadium on campus, away from the Superdome and becoming more relevant,
(21:54):
certainly in their world of college football. It's totally and
completely out of the question that UCLA could ever have
an on campus facility that was smaller and then play
the bigger games in a so fire the Rose Bowl.
Why is that so out of the realm of possibility.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Well, it's a good question, and it's one I get
emailed pretty much almost every day. I mean, I think
the big answer is that, you know, the UC regents,
when when this was looked at back in the sixties,
basically said because of some of the homeowners in that
area that put the cabash on it. They said, Okay,
(22:36):
we're going to have Drake Stadium, the Track Stadium, but
we're never going to have a football stadium there. And
they've basically committed to that. I mean, they've got underground
parking there, they've got homeowners associations that would be very
much against that. So there's a lot of political wrangling
that I think, and I've been asking that question as well,
but I don't think there's any sort of momentum toward
(22:58):
being able to do that. And I think it would
just be too difficult, given you know, kind of the
landscape and what's already been put in place there.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Ben to shift to the on the field product kind
of what what happens with with Nico Imlava after this season?
Is he going to the NFL? Is there a bigger
check out there?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Like what do you?
Speaker 6 (23:21):
How do you think?
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Because it's not from what I understand, it's not a
great quarterback class there certainly does not feel like there's
a consensus number one overall pick. So how does this
thing end for him at UCLA?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Yeah, I've been thinking about that a lot lately. But
I'll say, first of all, been super impressed with Nikar.
I think he's been everything they wanted and more. I mean,
he's done just a fabulous job of running this offense.
I mean he's taken so many hits. He's there, you know,
he's there leading rusher on the season, and he just
there's so many times he just gets smashed and I'm
(23:53):
just like kind of wincing and he gets up and
it's just fine. And he's also been super accountable. He's
met with us after every law put it on his shoulders.
So he's a true baller. I've really been impressed with him,
you know, and he's got great character too. I wouldn't
be surprised, you know, at Big Ten Media Day. He
said that if he had the season he wanted, he
(24:13):
would go on and go to the NFL. But I
think he really is enjoying his time, even with kind
of the up and downs that they've had this year.
And frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if he came back
for one more year, especially if they got a coach
that really connected with him and sold him on, you know,
a vision, and maybe brought a good chunk of his
roster with him for kind of like that Indiana infusion
(24:34):
of talent. I could see a scenario where we see
Nko back with the Bruins in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Somebody better tell Casey's got to ride a pretty big
check along with the Rose Bowl legal fees. The great
Ben boltch our guest. The last time we talked to you, Ben,
we were Matt and I were at a bar, but
we were at a casino bar. This time we're at
a much more acceptable bar here in Curritos, and it
was Lane Kiffin that was maybe a hotter name for
(25:04):
UCLA at the time. Now I think he's going to
be offered a lot of other jobs and living in
Manhattan Beach probably is not going to be enough to
bring him out to the West Coast. Maybe he's going
to jump to the NFL, or maybe he'll stay at Ole,
Miss who knows. But who do you think now, as
it's been a month or so since we talked, is
(25:25):
in UCLA's wheelhouse to hire as a coach. I mean,
Jim Mora just filled up that freaking stadium in stores
for Yukon. Not that they want to go on that
ride again. But who do you think UCLA is looking
at right now? And who do you think is going
to make the higher.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Yeah, I mean the landscape has completely changed since our
last conversation, right, so, so many more big time jobs
have opened up. I'm going to take a lot of
people off the table that you say might have been
able to get previously. So I think really the two
paths for them. You know, if I was running the
search up to say that going to do this, but
I think you know an up and coming kind of
(26:03):
group of five guys, uh or you know a big
time coordinator like will Stein at Oregon. I think those
are the kind of the two paths. But I think
the bottom line is you want to get somebody who's
not going to be at u c l A for
two or three years, but it's going to try to
stay and make this their own thing, right, kind of
become the Dan Landing of Westland. I know that's you know,
(26:26):
that's asking a lot there, but I think you want
to get some money. Who's who's uh really going to
be able to put their stamp on this and and
be proud of what they've done and and and you know,
really built with this program and not just use it
as a stepping stone. If I'm running the committee, Uh,
that's that's what I would want, I do think you know,
as I think we talked last time, having Bob Myers
(26:48):
and Adam Peters the Commander's GM. Those are two heavyweight
uh sports figures, really smart guys. They're part of this process.
So that gives me a lot of confidence that they're
gonna kick guitires on a lot of quality people and
probably be able to come it with somebody pretty darn good.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
All right, Ben, you're gonna have to slip some punches tonight.
You got basketball to cover, right.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
That's right, No Donovan dead tonight, Petros he's out.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
It's gonna be what's wrong with you got him?
Speaker 5 (27:15):
I'm breaking some news here, muscle strain. He's but it's
only precautionary, so it's probably you know, if this was
the Arizona game on Friday, he probably played. But they're
gonna take it easy with him tonight against West Georgia.
Probably the right moves.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
All right, as long as it's the questions. What just
ask the questions? Okay, all right, we'll get there. I
just as long as they're not playing that strip mall
team from Hawaii. Why don't I saw beat Boise? Thanks
a lot, Ben, have a great night. Thanks for doing it, dude, right.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Enjoy yourselves, appreciate your time. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
You always do here at the BJ's Restaurant in brew House.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Are you asking a question there?
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Ben?
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Gotta bring your a game if you're gonna spar with
Mick cronin.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Here'd you leaked the Donovan Dead stuff on the PM show?
Speaker 7 (28:00):
There?
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Ben? Who told you could do that best radio show
in town?
Speaker 7 (28:03):
You said it, Coach, exactly right, Petrosen money the best
show in town.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
We don't have people booing at a bar, not yet,
but there is a guy cheering at the bar. He
makes sense.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
I think that makes sense. You know why, because other
guys will give you high fives at the bar. They're
getting excited.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
But you know it's from a sound clip of Barry Alvarez.
It's a don't worry.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Yeah, it's just booing a bar.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Look, it's Bob Eiger trying to take the sting out
of the whole YouTube thing. Yeah that's gonna work.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
Oh yeah, I'm fine with it now.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Then in a live guy birth the other day coming
up next, We're going all the way till six thirty.

(29:28):
why we're not playing the Packer Eagle game right now.
That's on our sister station AM eleven fifty. But to
be honest, it looks like a snoozer, so you don't
want to hop over there. No Chargers v. Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I wanted to see what Bob Iger has.
Speaker 7 (29:40):

people here are wonderful and the city of Soritos a
big thank you to our guest today, Mayor Yoka Yama.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
Yeah, Frank Ben Boltch, who talked.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
About the UCLA Stadium situation a little bit as the
show has gone on, and we also talked to Dean
Blandino in our very first hour all about the rule
violation from my alma mater, the University of Southern California. Matt,
an interesting story for your dead guy. Birthday of the day.
It is Jamaican news, and I do this.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
It's Jamaica news, seems. St.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Vincent is the name of the gentleman whose birthday it is.
He would have been eighty five. He was in a
wheelchair having lost his legs. He lost my legs both
lay and you know why his legs fell off, Matt,
You guessed it. Diabetes, Oh, diabetes. As a young man,
(31:08):
his nickname was Tata or Tartar. Despite his disability as
a youth. That has said that he saved another youth
from drowning when he was a team so he could
swim even with no legs like our old friend. Recently,
on a road trip with Pat Cowan, Nick Nick Nick
Nick Eggbatani.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Kills us that we lost that jingle. It really was
one of the best, if not the best, we've ever had.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Nick Egbatani could swim with one leg, as has been
proven to swim with Mike event annually at usc anyway,
this guy, Vincent Ford, ran a soup kitchen in trench Town, Kingston,
which of course is where Bob Marley was from, hence
the controversy. Bob Marley was close friends with Tatam and
(31:59):
Bob changed his songwriting credits from who Had Him to
Chris Blackwell at Island Records who You Met Once Once
and Vincent because of that, and because of the transition,
is listed as the songwriter for nineteen seventy four's No Woman.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
No Crime.
Speaker 3 (32:22):

and he's also listed as the songwriter for Roots Rock Reggae.
Now did he write the songs.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
Love.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
He's never said, but it is generally believed that Bob
parceled off lots of his credits. He didn't want any
of his new songs associated with somebody he had a
contract with before, which was called Cayman Music, so he
put songs in the names of family members and close
(33:08):
friends to avoid contractual restrictions, and helped provide for friends
and Family like the Legless Tata four.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
What a Good Dude.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
In nineteen seventy five, Marlee did admit in an interview
that he wrote No Woman, No Cry in Tata's front.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Yard, contributed gave when asked by Marley's biographer.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Tata was asked at one point if he wrote the songs,
He answered, what do you think? Others say that he
inspired the songs through conversation. Bob's family went to court
and got all the credits. Well he was dead, but
got all the credits back eventually, and Ford died in
(34:06):
late two thousand and eight. The Marley estate now controls
Crazy Bald Head, No Woman, No Cry, Positive Vibration, and
roots rock reggae. But some interesting tidbits about Bob Marley
songs that most people know that Yes, Tim.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
Man, did you ask about a certain drop a few
minutes ago that we maybe lost?
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Oh do we have it?
Speaker 3 (34:34):
The Nick gg Batani thing? We have it, you just
don't have it. He's a dude with the.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Ball, but he's still less hard.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Let's find out what Nick has say.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
Yeah, yeah, well done, Steve Busch, very good, Thank you, Nick, Nick,
Nick Nick Batani.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
He's a dude with a prosthetic leg. He used to
play ball, but he still acts hard. Let's find out
with Nick casts to say, Nick Batani, he's a dude
with the prostatic kiss ball, but he's still laughs hard.
Let's find out what did Cast say? Hey beautiful and

I'm like David Vassey. He's transitioned back to his Persian
roots and goes now known by his original name, Amir.

We love you, Amir, Amir, Amir, Amir e Batani. He's
a dude with a prosthetic leg. You still please all.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
But he's still laughs hard. Let's go down with Cast.
Speaker 7 (35:41):
Say hey, well, it's funny you do that for me
reciprocal I do this well, you know you've abably been
such a roots rock reggae guy.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
My favorite rosta man vibrations your album and it seems
like that's top top fours.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
That's my guy. Legless diabetes.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (35:56):
Daniel Waters he is sixty three today. He is the
older brother of Mark. Mark directed Mean Girls. It's in
the Family. Daniel is a screenwriter and we're going to
focus on one film in particular because while the particulars
are pretty incredible. He was born in Cleveland, raised in
South Bend, started and wrote a column titled Troubled Waters
for his high school newspaper that became super popular with
(36:18):
the student body, did some local sketch comedy, went to
Montreal to attend McGill University, and when he graduated, he
chased the Hollywood dream.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
He went to Malmtreal to attend.
Speaker 7 (36:34):
His uh Hollywood dream went the same way as Quinton Tarantino's.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
He was working as a video store clerk.
Speaker 7 (36:40):
In Hermosa not sure where, but while there he worked
on his craft and he began writing the screenplay in
the spring of nineteen eighty six for Heathers.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
It was a speck.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
He wanted Stanley Kubrick to direct the film, thinking it
would speak to him a similar approach as Doctor Strain
Love his favorite film. His pitch was Let's Run Opo
the Ouey gooey John Hughes coming of age teenage films
of the time by presenting something cynical of high school
imbued with dark satire. The Cafeteria Senior. The start of
(37:17):
Heathers was written as an homage to the barrack scene
that opens Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. So after a number
of failed attempts to get the script greenlit or accepted
by Kubrick, he approached director Michael Lahman, who agreed to
take it on. Some tweaks were made. The original version,
JD successfully blows up Westerberg High and the final scene
is a surreal prom gathering in Heaven. Studios were like, no,
(37:40):
we're not doing that. Lighten it up a little bit there.
Francis casting was polarizing. Waters early choices for Veronica were
Justine Bateman and Jennifer Connolly, but neither of their agents
wanted them to be part of a dark and weird
film like Heathers. Winona Ryder begged for the part, but
Waters told her straight up, you're not pretty enough. So
(38:05):
when Oda said she understood, she had blue hair, didn't
wear makeup, and was pale at the time. Out of Pedaluma,
she went to the Beverly Center and the Macy's, got
a makeover and came back and said how about now,
And she was cast, despite the protests of her agent.
Brad Pitt begged for the role of JD, but our
(38:29):
man Waters said, nah, I'm going with this. Wanna be
Jack Nicholson, guy, Christian Slater. Heather Graham was offered the
part of Heather Chandler, but her parents didn't.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
I don't see that.
Speaker 7 (38:43):
Heather Graham's parents said no, I don't like the script.
You're not doing it. So Slater's girlfriend took that role,
and Shannon Doherty, this is my favorite little tidbit from
the Heathers. She wanted the role of Ironica was offered.
Heather Chandler said no, thank you, gimme. Heather Duke said fine,
we want you to dye your hair blonde to match
the other girls. She said no. They met in the
(39:05):
middle with her red hair. They said she was a
handful on the set and at the cast. Yeah, Dougherty
at the cast viewing for the first time that anybody
saw the film after it was complete, she ran out crying.
Did not know it was a dark comedy. Thought it
was a serious drama and she might like to be
nominated for an Oscar or something.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
And sheminated for a dark comedy.
Speaker 7 (39:28):
I guess not. Waters would win the Edgar Award for
Best Picture. But it was a box office failure only
later became a cult. Yeah, it only made a million
seven at the box Yes.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
That's why big fun teenage suicide don't do it wasn't
that big of.
Speaker 6 (39:44):
A Wasn't you know who did that?
Speaker 7 (39:45):
All the guys that made all the RAM records, like
their engineer, their producer, were the guys from Big Fun.
Got a job for you, do Big Fun? Teenage suicide,
don't do it? That is our guy, brother of Mark
Danny Waters, the author of Heathers.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
What do we have to give away? Wet? We still
got some more dishes a while.
Speaker 7 (40:08):
All we have are the Charger Raider tickets and the
Anthony banda baseball and we have a fun fact, got
a fun fact in quick.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Hits, and then we'll say good night.
Speaker 7 (40:24):
Yes, hand it over to Adam for Clippers basketball losers
of four in a row and five of six.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
I think the best thing we got going is this
sweet proclamation from Mayor Frank Yoka Yama.
Speaker 6 (40:37):
And our Cerrito shirts, which are pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Sorito shirts have also been a bonus for us. This
has been a.
Speaker 6 (40:44):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
