incredible matchup between the Patriots and Ravens, and on KFIM

(01:31):
That continues tonight Monday Night Football forty nine Ers at Indianapolis.
Philip Rivers, forty four years old, missed the last five seasons.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
He is back.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Led the Colts to what should have been a victory
over Seattle, but their defense gave up a field goal
drive in just forty seven seconds to lose that game.
See if he can get some of that Philip Rivers
magic going and this one tonight you'll hear it right
here starting at the top of next hour.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Pee, he might be magically broken. Let's hope for the best.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
It's time, Ray kidding.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Don't forget to podcast the show on the iHeartRadio app
or stream it live. Some people have to really ramp
down their consumption before Matt and I go on vacation
so they can stretch out the Petros and Money Show
like a caromelo over the time that we are off.
Not easy to do, but go ahead and get your
(02:26):
Petros and Money podcast on the iHeartRadio app or when
we are live today and tomorrow stream it there. It
is time for the final hour fun Fact. In effect,
it's the Yeah three Fun Fact.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It's brought to you by Concordia University of your Ends
Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration Program.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
It is a fact.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Classes in the program taught by many of the top
sports leaders in California, such as the state director of
the CIF as well as many Hall of fame high
school and college coaches and administrators, be mentored by the best.
Find more at CUI dot edu slash Coaching. I would
ask Kates to play the song so we can contribute
(03:07):
to the fund. But I'm just gonna read this verbatim.
As I was digging around for Christmas fun facts. Paul
McCartney earns.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Oh, I hate this song four.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Hundred thousand dollars a year off of his Christmas song
Wonderful Christmas h Comma, which is widely regarded as the
worst song he ever recorded period. Now we can argue
the merits of wonderful Christmas in general. But I do
(03:40):
think that statement would be very hard to argue with
that of all the music Paul McCartney ever made, this
is probably the worst song he ever recorded himself. There's
some bad Christmas songs out there that you can put
up against it. I still think it's the Crown Jewel
of the Crown that is the worst Christmas songs ever recorded,
(04:03):
but it is one that has earned him over fifteen
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I mean, Last Christmas by Wham doesn't make sense and
it laps the field over this McCartney tune.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
No doubt.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Oh it's that here's the key to wonderful Christmas. I
don't know if I've ever heard anyone of Merit cover
it like there are no.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
No to bop their head back.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And forth like a dork like Paul like, hey we're bad, Klyyle,
we're a relevant band. In two thousand and twenty five,
twenty fifteen, nineteen ninety five. It was recorded in nineteen
seventy nine.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
No it ain't no run Run Rudolph Matt I'll tell you,
Oh that's a good one, right there. Ro It's time
for quick hits. Everybody coms quick hits. I'll make it quick, y'all.
Oh yeah, well, we'll talk about it in the next segment.
We talked about it a little earlier. No more usc
(04:58):
a Notre Dame at least until twenty thirty. Notre Dame
has agreed to a two year home and home of
BYU in twenty six and twenty seven. The Irish schedule
is their date card is now filled until twenty thirty.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Yeah, people lining up for that one.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
It turns out when Notre Dame calls, most schools are like, yep,
we'll take it.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, let's go ahead and take that one. Please.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Former Michigan head coach Sharon.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Moore us good guy to learn.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Most social media interactions with multiple women as far back
as twenty twenty. According to a new report from The Athletic,
Five women spoke about these interactions, with some sharing exchanges
with Sharon. The most recent interaction reportedly came in November,
as one woman said More sent her a hand wave
(05:48):
emoji prior to Michigan's win over Purdue on November one.
Hey Hello. His online interactions with women were reportedly raised
diversity officials as far back as twenty twenty four. Early
in his first season as head coach, the university determined
Morse interactions were not criminal and they didn't constitute sexual
(06:11):
harassment or didn't involve any university employees. Those showed a
poor lack of judgment per.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
The Athletic, I would revise that sentence to those showed
a pish poor lack of judgment the athletic.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
That's just I would add that in there.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
These are, you know, New York Times I believe has
now acquired the athletics.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Maybe they can't write that anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Screenshots of those conversations obtained by the Athletico showed it
more often used emojis to start up conversations with women
on social media. After that, he would try to engage
the women in conversation.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
So what'd I like to do? Is I like to
bait the hook?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Send a little thumb with a little thumb, or a
little shaka or a fire emoji, clapping hands, clapping hands,
high five, Oh, black hand, black hand. Respond to that,
maybe a little muscle, a little bicep muscle. Get that
go and then we'll see then we can really get
after it.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Hey, how about the Lakers are nineteen and eight off
until tomorrow when they play the Suns and Phoenix and
the Clippers. They won.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
They won.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
They won their seventh game of the season. They knocked
off the white Hot Lakers on Saturday night. They knocked
Luca out of the game. So now the Lakers dealing
with no Luca, no Ruie. The Clippers lost our man
Zubs and his pubes. He's gonna miss several weeks because
he sprained his ankle something Narl. He's got a high
(07:35):
ankle sprain now. But they were up by twenty two
by the end of that first quarter and just kind
of cruised to victory, even though the Lakers cut it
down to seven. So I'm sure Lebron's very disappointed that
he will be the focal point of the.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Lakers spotlight, white hot spotlight.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
On Christmas Day. Yeah, Lebron loves it. Christmas Day, it's
going to be all Lebron. So get the kids, sit
around the TV and watch one of our favorite athletes
get after it.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Bad news about Denzel Perriman for the Chargers.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
It's horse crap. It's absolute horse crap. He yeah, he
knocked Flinoy out of the game, but he was going
to the ground. The guy's going to the ground and
nobody had touched him yet Paraman ends up getting helmet
to helmet. They boot him for two games, and you know,
I mean, we've been watching Denzel Peraman play for ten years.
He is one of the most violent hitters in the game,
(08:24):
but he rarely gets flagged for helmet to helmet or
anything like that. I think that was the first time
he'd been flagged this year.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I thought it was a dirty play and he should
be suspended for life.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Well, he suspended for two games, two huge games as
he is kind of the enforcer of that defense, really
good against the run. So it's a big loss. With
games on Saturday against Houston the following Sunday against Denver's
bs Man, I thought we were still playing football in
this country.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Next thing you're gonna tell me is sc is not
playing not to day.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I believe that it's going to be discussed in the
very next segments.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Play again on Monday night, a week from tonight in
Atlanta versus the Falcons and Ryan Kennedy, the Detroit Lions
fan involved in the altercation with Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
dk Metcalf yesterday.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Part of America's first family, the Kennedy's.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
This is young Ryan, and he categorically denies use This
is his chap equittic. Yes, he denies using the N
word and the C word or any racial, misogynistic or
hate based language during the incident. According to his statement
really released by a Michigan law firm Monday afternoon, this
guy got lawyered up immediately.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Oh yeah, well, you know you're sit in those seats
you're right behind. You probably got some money. Yeah, those
are not cheap seats, especially with how well the line's
been playing.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I got to buy that wig.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
A statement said that Kennedy has experienced harassment, threats, and
messages advocating violence since reports began circulating on social media
that Kennedy used a racial slur towards me Metcalf and
called Metcalf's mother an inflammatory word. According to ESPN, DK Metcalf,
who plays for the Seattle Seahawks UH before being traded
(10:11):
to the Steelers, as we all know, had reported the
fan to Seattle team security in the past. Oh so they.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Had a So this guy's got a history with getting
under Metcalf's skin.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, in twenty twenty three. In twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Hey, dkay, I see you are back. I see you
are back in Detroit.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Come with Stan bitches.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Look who is back here on the sideline in Detroit
to be like, I don't know either. We meet again
my old friend. I have a Detroit fan who lives
under your ski. You ever turning a different outfit?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
You see that I have a different wig.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I love that this guy's a serial heckler.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
The Dodgers, Matt, are in the news man because of money.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
You mentioned DK coming out of the tunnel. That fing
guy is here again, man, and I'm on a different team.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I'm gonna kill him.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Oh, kill.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Matt. The Dodgers some money involved.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yes, one hundred and sixty nine point four million dollar check, Matt, please.
That is what they are writing to the league to
spread amongst the other teams that don't spend the way
they're supposed to spend this year. It is a one
hundred and sixty nine point four million dollar luxury tax bill.
They won their second straight World Series. That means over
(11:37):
the last two years, as they are victorious, two hundred
and seventy two point four million dollars is what they
are paying to be able to go over that soft cap,
as they like to call it. You just gotta pay
for The New York Mets are the second highest assessment.
UH ninety one point six million is what we're talking about,
despite missing the playoffs. Their tax three hundred and twenty
(11:59):
point three million over the last four years and they
have nothing to show for it. At least two hundred
and seventy two point four million bucks gets you a
couple World Series out well.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
The Dodgers are able to save money by not giving
Tim Kates his ring right any three of them that
he earned right.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
None of them does not have any.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Those three rings have brought at least I don't know
five impact players to.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
The team, maybe six. I don't think there's any large
neotbar if Kates get those rings, no talk. Yeah you're
right now, bark guys. We can't afford them. We got
to give Kates them.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
So when you see Kates, thank him for his sacrifice
in the survice, it's my sacrifice. We'll be back with
more petrosend money on AMPI seventy. LA Sports Top Story

The forty nine Ers and the Colts will kick off
just after the top of the hour. Big One for
the Rams says they are hoping the Colts can pull
off the upset and they can get back on track
to maybe winning the NFC West.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Okay, it is time for the flip Top story of
the day.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I'll put you out, i.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Will put you out to you.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
This is the flip Top story of the day.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Well, they went and did it. Lincoln Riley chirped about
it when he first got the job, before Jen Cohen
was even in place. The USC Athletic director and USC
Athletic director Jen Collen got a little ruffled, it seems
by the stubbornness shown on the Notre Dame side, not
(13:56):
bending on the schedule, which I didn't think needed to
be changed at all, but us he felt like they
needed something to save face in negotiations, and now modern
USC leadership and even to a certain degree, Notre Dame
leadership has let everybody down and USC Notre Dame will
(14:18):
not be played. If it is played again, the earliest
USC and Notre Dame can resume, as Scott Wolf tweeted
out first schedule wise is twenty thirty. That is the
earliest it can resume, and Scott Wolf, from everybody from
Scott to Keishawn Johnson has pointed out, none of the
(14:41):
people that did this are likely to be there in
twenty thirty. Yet they're doing it. And it was not
just something we were screaming in the wind about in
the last couple months during the season. It is a
real thing, and it just doesn't I mean, not playing
Stanford in cal is one thing, but this just doesn't
(15:02):
feel like USC college football anymore. And I'm not the
only one saying it anymore either.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I don't believe it was going to happen. P I
think I know that they were in disbelief because it
just it's so ridiculous. It's completely asinine, and yeah, it's
crazy that we're talking about it in this context today.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
It's truly Notre Dame has taken their ball and gone home,
and USC has basically done the same. And I hope
maybe in the future, making what is an ever changing
college football playoff sometime in the next couple of years,
maybe is worth for these people killing the most special
(15:42):
game on the calendar for either team. The identity of
everybody that played at USC and the identity of everybody
that played at Notre Dame. And yeah, USC started this,
and yeah it makes them look soft.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
He started it.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
They did, They started it, and it makes them look
soft as hell, and it makes them look like they're
running from Notre Name. And because no one ever said
anything about this ever other than Lincoln Riley, and now
Lincoln Riley, the head coach at USC, seems to have
gotten his way, and they're people that won't be there
in twenty thirty and other people are going to have
(16:22):
to come in and be left to clean this up
on both sides, and for the sake of college football,
like you said, Matt, a little bit astonishing that it's
actually happening. Both schools needed to bend a little bit
to avoid this debacle. So you could say it's on USC,
but it's also on Notre Dame a little bit. What
(16:45):
stands out though to me, like I said, is it
feels like USC capitulated to Lincoln Riley's wishes instead of
holding up one of the great pillars of college football
and saying we will be one of the standard bears
in this new era and hold up this pillar despite
all the change. We're not going to be blown down
(17:06):
by the wins of change. And they've capitulated to a
coach who's not from here, who understands very little, it
seems about USC football. Coaches come and go. AD's come
and go, and Matt, we've been on the job here
since two thousand and seven. You and I were going
to enter our twentieth year, so we've dealt with a
(17:28):
lot of this stuff over the years as a show
together as the tides have moved. Look at USC since
twenty ten, the ad list is Mike Garrett, Pat Hayden,
Lynn Swan, the boner Reno, Mike.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Mohon bon Areno bon bon bone.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Bone, bone, bone bone, and Jen Cohen and the coaches.
Lane Kiffen replaced Pete Carroll in January twenty ten, then
sark Edojeron, Clay Helton, Dante Williams who coached about ten games.
Oh forgot about that, and Lincoln Riley only there was
a fifth quarter. There's no yeah, ain no telling what
(18:10):
could have happened if we had another fifteen minutes. There
is literally nobody left to protect the walls of Troy.
And forget the reasons why US he has had so
many ads and football coaches over the last fifteen years,
just realize that the overall leadership has eroded. Right now,
(18:32):
USC doesn't even have a school president to step in
and fix this, and US has had a real leadership void,
you could say ever since doctor Steven Sample stepped down
in twenty ten. Stronger school leadership and guidance could have
helped avoid this debacle. I think that goes without saying,
(18:55):
and it's it's it's done. It's done for at least
four or five years.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
It's you think about, like if Pete Carroll had tried
to pull it off in like two thousand, like you
said when we first got on the air in two
thousand and six or something, after two national championships, then
it's still embarrassing and annoying.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
But you're like, all right, well.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
You know he would have never been allowed to no. No,
he would have never done. The powers that be at USC,
Steven Sample was still there, they would have never allowed
him to do that. Yes, certainly he had more success.
If Jean McKay tried to do it, he would have
been stopped. No one should, no USC coach should be
able to put a stop to the Notre Dame rival. Now,
(19:35):
whether it's Pete Carroll or Howard Jones who started it.
I mean, I hope that USC makes the twenty twenty
six playoffs for their sake. But here's a reminder of
how Lincoln Riley's teams have done in the playoffs. In
the twenty seventeen season, Oklahoma lost to Georgia fifty four
to forty eight in the first round at the Rose
(19:57):
Bowl the College Football Playoff, they gave up fifty four points.
In twenty eighteen, Oklahoma loss to Alabama forty five to
thirty four in the College Football Playoff first round in
the Orange Bowl. In twenty nineteen, Oklahoma loss to LSU
sixty four to twenty eight in the sixty four that's
tight one in the College Football Playoff first round in
(20:19):
the Peach Bowl. And then you add his two biggest
games at USC twenty twenty two, they lost forty seven
to twenty four to Utah and in the PAC twelfth
Championship in Vegas with a college football playoff berth on
the line. They didn't play any games in significance in
twenty three and twenty four, and then this last season,
(20:39):
USC lost forty two to twenty seven to Oregon with
a potential college football playoff at large berth on the line.
Links Sooner and Trojan teams have allowed two hundred and
fifty two points in the five biggest games of his
coaching career. This is the guy that gets to say
(20:59):
USC doesn't play Notre Dame. His teams have allowed over
fifty points per game in the most important games, and
there's no That's the thing that really bothers me, and
what really should leave people ashamed is there's no guarantees
that se Notre Dame will ever resume.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
No, not when it's four years away. A lot can
change between now and then. Notre Dame could join a conference,
There could be a super conference incoming that will dictate
terms considerably different. Look, we've lost every bit of just
about every bit of tradition in college football. This was
one of the last remaining things that we were able
(21:37):
to hold on to. And like you said, it's not
necessarily Notre Dame is not innocent in all of this.
They could have acquiesced to Lincoln's ear.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
No one should. I've been on record obviously he said
a lot about this, But I'm with you, Matt, no
one should ever said anything in the first place. Right
should have never been changed in the first place. But
once Lincoln Riley started chirping, the ball started rolling and
everybody felt like they needed to save face in these
relatively public negotiations. And because of that, because of this
(22:08):
lack of leadership, especially at USC, that they're allowed to
do this, we've lost SC Notre Dame. So good luck
in the playoffs if the Trojans ever get there. And
I blame Lincoln Riley and the week leadership at USC
for allowing this to happen. And you know it's not
lost on me, Matt that for years, when USC was
(22:30):
in trouble, talking about people like Lynn Swann, Pat Hayden
and even Mike Garrett for what was allowed under Pete Carroll,
all these different story we've had, I was always saying,
USC needs new blood, a real professional ad, a coveted
coach that comes from the outside, and then you get
(22:51):
new blood and they don't respect USC's number one in
best tradition, and on their watch they let it go away.
And I feel ashamed. I mean, for as bad as
Mike Garon and Pat Hayden and Lynn Swann were, and
they were bad, a lot of things that were really
not savory happened under them, including the Varsity Blues scandal.
(23:13):
But I don't think any of those ads would have
ever allowed this to happen. Not on your life, they
would ever allowed this to happen. Yeah, No, I wonder.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I almost wonder if they saw this because Notre Dame
has taken all the incoming for their scheduling and why
they were left off, and they start running their mouth
about how they should be included.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
They saw a moment in time to pile on Notre
Dames and look, we couldn't make it work with them either, right, Yeah,
that's not with people like me. It's not going to work. No,
Like it's just you know, and they should.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Think they saw a window and they're like, f it,
let's take it.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
They might have, but it's not working. I mean, it
works with Colin Cowherd and the people that carry water
for the university and for modern day Lincoln Riley, fight all,
fight all, but ultimately USC should just replace the band
with a DJ and replace the songgirls with like Ai
OnlyFans chick right, change the horse out for those two
(24:13):
streamers that interviewed Puka Nakua. Right, Let's just let's do
it all. It doesn't matter anymore. This is a dark
mark on the university for a lack of leadership. And
if USC is not going to play Notre Dame every year,
I don't I don't know. I'm agree with Keishaan. Let's
(24:35):
just not play football. Let's just play Davis and play
those schools. Sacramento State, forget about it.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Well, if it means punching your ticket to the playoff,
where all you got to do is put up a
sixty spot and you're getting out there with a win,
then I'm all four.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
If we guys, if we can score fifty four today,
we can get out of here with a victory.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Okay, all we need is three stops and we can't
get them.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
And I can't get but one.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
It's it is a shameful day in the history of
college football, and it started with Lincoln Riley, somebody who
you would question should even be at the USC football
program as the head coming.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
It's a question. I don't think he's got any business
being there.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Not not halfish out of water. It's always has been.
It's it's it's become a nightmare. When he got hired,
I thought it was a moment of glory, and now
we're all living in a nightmare. We'll be right back
with your dad and alive guy. Birthday of the day,
the USC Notre Dame rivalry is dad for now.

A big one forty nine Ers at the Colts.
Speaker 2 (26:30):

Philip Rivers, but a big one for the Rams. They

maybe getting number one overall seed in the NFC. So
forty nine Ers Colts kickoff at five pm tomorrow, will

(26:51):
off the Lakers. On Saturday night they will host Kevin
Durant and the Rockets.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
All right, Matt, you're dead guy. Birthday of the day
at trad death would have been one hundred and four today,
but dead since the sixties. Hawkshaw Hawkins a great country
music star from Huntington, West Virginia. He got his nickname.
And of course, Matt, you know we have a country
(27:17):
quota that we just feel like we have to fill.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
I need five guys, five k frogs five.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
One of the more ridiculous meetings in the history of
our employment.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I was thinking maybe a little more Carrie Underwood, a
little less Hawkshaw Hawkins.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Well, I'm sorry, but Hawkshaw was a star. He got
his nickname Hawkshaw after he helped the boy find two missing
fishing rods near his home. His real name was Harold
Franklin Hawkins, but Hawkshaw was a famous comet detective Okay
of the early twentieth century.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Finding fishing pulls equate to.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Hawkshaw because he found them polls.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Matt I didn't realize his detective's name.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Come on, Mat, everybody remembers the Hawkshaw Detective series in
nineteen seventeen. In nineteen twenty, he was a country singer
and a guitarist. He did lots of radio. When he
was nineteen, he married a sixteen year old. He went
into the army in World War Two, stationed in France,
(28:23):
fought in the Battle of the Bulge, received a bunch
of stars. Was also stationed in Manila, and he performed
in both places, France and Manila with his tutar and
his country style. After the war, he had some success.
(28:44):
Being six foot five, they called him eleven yards of personality.
He was on the Ozark Jubilee and then the Grand
Old Opry, where he married his second wife, country star
Jane Shepherd. They met at the operation. After performing in
Kansas City with Cowboy Coopas and Patsy Cline, the Great patsy.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Cline, Oh No, he.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Switched tickets with a guy named Billy Walker and flew
private and crashed on March fifth in a remote forest
in Tennessee. Everybody died. He had a pregnant widow at
the time. That would be Gene Shephard patsy Cline. Of course,
the day country music died. There was a stone marker
(29:34):
in the remote forest where the plane went down. It
is said the Gibson guitar that was Hawkshaw Hawkins was
standing straight up like a grave marker over the plane crash.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
According to some still unsettling.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
A little bit known for songs like is My Ring
on Your Finger and Rattle Snaking Daddy and it would
be a Dog Online after his death, he achieved a
lot more success as a country musician that he did
in life.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
I guess you're connected to the patsy Cline. Thing that's
probably gonna help.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Probably. I don't know if the Big Bopper feels similarly, Matt.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
I don't think the Bob caught the pop.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
The Hawk got country star, tragic figure, Hawkshaw Hawkins.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
The excuse me, damn it. You're a live guy.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
If you are on an album called Truth in Shredding,
then PMS is for you, Australian News.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
King, It's Kip and this is Petros and Money's Australian News.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
I'll listen to that. I want to talk about shredding.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
That's truth in Shredding right here, Happy sixty seventh to
Frank Gimbali.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Boy, these guys shred so hard.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
This is you know, we had things before COVID, and
we had groceries that were affordable. We had the NAM
Convention and this is but months before the whole country
shut down NAM twenty twenty. When guys like Frank Gimbali
would show up at the Anaheim Convention Center or one
(31:27):
of the surrounding hotels, would grab a guitar, and a
bunch of freaks that'd like to move their fingers up
and down a front board would lose their mind.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
What's stopping him from going back.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Nam's never been the same man. COVID killed it, just
killed it. All the guitar companies and the pedal companies
and the piano companies were just like, do we really
need to do this anymore? They're just really essential in
an age of social media and online shopping where we
got to drag our ass and set up a giant Yes,
(32:01):
exactly they do.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
But is it what it once was?
Speaker 3 (32:06):
I don't know. I think there's more cars than ever.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Sadly, NAM is no longer what it was, but Gambali
is still Gimbali born in Canberra, Australia, came to the
States to shred at the Guitar Institute of Technology. Student
of the Year multiple times, went on to teach the
youth and the ways of tasty licks of colorful chords,
prodigious fretboard performance. He is currently the head of Guitar
(32:34):
at the LA Music Academy. He shreds so hard he
break his stick, Well not really, he shreds so hard
he got his own style of playing named after him.
They call it the Gambali tuning method, which I guess
like the lowest string is the fifth and not the sixth.
Then they use electric guitars, and they moved the strings
(32:55):
around from the A to the bee.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
From the sixth of the three.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Oh you got it all?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
How about this, I'm gonna read it. The B string
will be tuned up a half step to see the
first and second strings. Use a D in a G
string from a standard nine gauge set tuned up a
whole step, so D is tuned to E and the
G is tuned to A. It might be the greatest
thing I've ever read. He was in the chick corea
(33:19):
electric band p in eighty seven. That's pretty strong jazz
fusion to the nines.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Nobody loves it more than us.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Right about that?
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Maybe Jame's worthy a worthy listening. Right now, he's freaking
out man. Five albums, two Grammy nominations. He was in
Vital Information with Steve Smith for twelve years. Hell of
a wide receiver. Most favorites per his sweet picking, where
the guitarist plays single notes on consecutive strings with a
sweeping motion of the pick while using the fretting hand
(33:49):
to produce a specific series of notes that are.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
Fast and fluid.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Gimbali has got a lot of guitar and jazz magazine covers.
To his credit, he is been cited as a prime
influence to Dweezl Zappa, Greg Howe, Pat Matheeney, even sevenfold
Sinister Gates.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Well, thank you, right, I none of that meant anything
until e.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Seven sinister Gates.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
And if none of that and if it wasn't for
sinister Gates, maybe that doesn't impress everybody. P But how
about this quote from a nineteen ninety one interview with
Rolling Stone. My personal favorite lately is this guy, Frank Gombali.
He's been playing with chick Corea for the past couple
of years.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
He's amazing. That was Jerry Garcia.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Wow, whoa whoa about that?
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Happy sixty seven? Make them great again? People, Happy sixty seven,
Frank Gombali.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
All right, everybody, enjoy the football game tonight, and thank
you for listening. Be safe out there, be patient. You
might have to wait at a red light or two.

(01:31):
That continues tonight Monday Night Football forty nine Ers at Indianapolis.
Philip Rivers, forty four years old, missed the last five seasons.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
He is back.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Led the Colts to what should have been a victory
over Seattle, but their defense gave up a field goal
drive in just forty seven seconds to lose that game.
See if he can get some of that Philip Rivers
magic going and this one tonight you'll hear it right
here starting at the top of next hour.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Pee, he might be magically broken. Let's hope for the best.

It's time, Ray kidding.

the CIF as well as many Hall of fame high
school and college coaches and administrators, be mentored by the best.
Find more at CUI dot edu slash Coaching. I would
ask Kates to play the song so we can contribute
(03:07):
to the fund. But I'm just gonna read this verbatim.
As I was digging around for Christmas fun facts. Paul
McCartney earns.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Oh, I hate this song four.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Hundred thousand dollars a year off of his Christmas song
Wonderful Christmas h Comma, which is widely regarded as the
worst song he ever recorded period. Now we can argue
the merits of wonderful Christmas in general. But I do
(03:40):
think that statement would be very hard to argue with
that of all the music Paul McCartney ever made, this
is probably the worst song he ever recorded himself. There's
some bad Christmas songs out there that you can put
up against it. I still think it's the Crown Jewel
of the Crown that is the worst Christmas songs ever recorded,
(04:03):
but it is one that has earned him over fifteen
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I mean, Last Christmas by Wham doesn't make sense and
it laps the field over this McCartney tune.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
No doubt.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Oh it's that here's the key to wonderful Christmas. I
don't know if I've ever heard anyone of Merit cover
it like there are no.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
No to bop their head back.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And forth like a dork like Paul like, hey we're bad, Klyyle,
we're a relevant band. In two thousand and twenty five,
twenty fifteen, nineteen ninety five. It was recorded in nineteen
seventy nine.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
No it ain't no run Run Rudolph Matt I'll tell you,
Oh that's a good one, right there. Ro It's time
for quick hits. Everybody coms quick hits. I'll make it quick, y'all.
Oh yeah, well, we'll talk about it in the next segment.
We talked about it a little earlier. No more usc
(04:58):
a Notre Dame at least until twenty thirty. Notre Dame
has agreed to a two year home and home of
BYU in twenty six and twenty seven. The Irish schedule
is their date card is now filled until twenty thirty.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Yeah, people lining up for that one.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
It turns out when Notre Dame calls, most schools are like, yep,
we'll take it.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, let's go ahead and take that one. Please.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Former Michigan head coach Sharon.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Moore us good guy to learn.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Most social media interactions with multiple women as far back
as twenty twenty. According to a new report from The Athletic,
Five women spoke about these interactions, with some sharing exchanges
with Sharon. The most recent interaction reportedly came in November,
as one woman said More sent her a hand wave
(05:48):
emoji prior to Michigan's win over Purdue on November one.
Hey Hello. His online interactions with women were reportedly raised
diversity officials as far back as twenty twenty four. Early
in his first season as head coach, the university determined
Morse interactions were not criminal and they didn't constitute sexual
(06:11):
harassment or didn't involve any university employees. Those showed a
poor lack of judgment per.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
The Athletic, I would revise that sentence to those showed
a pish poor lack of judgment the athletic.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
That's just I would add that in there.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
These are, you know, New York Times I believe has
now acquired the athletics.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Maybe they can't write that anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Screenshots of those conversations obtained by the Athletico showed it
more often used emojis to start up conversations with women
on social media. After that, he would try to engage
the women in conversation.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
So what'd I like to do? Is I like to
bait the hook?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Send a little thumb with a little thumb, or a
little shaka or a fire emoji, clapping hands, clapping hands,
high five, Oh, black hand, black hand. Respond to that,
maybe a little muscle, a little bicep muscle. Get that
go and then we'll see then we can really get
after it.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Hey, how about the Lakers are nineteen and eight off
until tomorrow when they play the Suns and Phoenix and
the Clippers. They won.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
They won.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
They won their seventh game of the season. They knocked
off the white Hot Lakers on Saturday night. They knocked
Luca out of the game. So now the Lakers dealing
with no Luca, no Ruie. The Clippers lost our man
Zubs and his pubes. He's gonna miss several weeks because
he sprained his ankle something Narl. He's got a high
(07:35):
ankle sprain now. But they were up by twenty two
by the end of that first quarter and just kind
of cruised to victory, even though the Lakers cut it
down to seven. So I'm sure Lebron's very disappointed that
he will be the focal point of the.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Lakers spotlight, white hot spotlight.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
On Christmas Day. Yeah, Lebron loves it. Christmas Day, it's
going to be all Lebron. So get the kids, sit
around the TV and watch one of our favorite athletes
get after it.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Bad news about Denzel Perriman for the Chargers.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
It's horse crap. It's absolute horse crap. He yeah, he
knocked Flinoy out of the game, but he was going
to the ground. The guy's going to the ground and
nobody had touched him yet Paraman ends up getting helmet
to helmet. They boot him for two games, and you know,
I mean, we've been watching Denzel Peraman play for ten years.
He is one of the most violent hitters in the game,
(08:24):
but he rarely gets flagged for helmet to helmet or
anything like that. I think that was the first time
he'd been flagged this year.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I thought it was a dirty play and he should
be suspended for life.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Well, he suspended for two games, two huge games as
he is kind of the enforcer of that defense, really
good against the run. So it's a big loss. With
games on Saturday against Houston the following Sunday against Denver's
bs Man, I thought we were still playing football in
this country.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Next thing you're gonna tell me is sc is not
playing not to day.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I believe that it's going to be discussed in the
very next segments.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Play again on Monday night, a week from tonight in
Atlanta versus the Falcons and Ryan Kennedy, the Detroit Lions
fan involved in the altercation with Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
dk Metcalf yesterday.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Part of America's first family, the Kennedy's.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
This is young Ryan, and he categorically denies use This
is his chap equittic. Yes, he denies using the N
word and the C word or any racial, misogynistic or
hate based language during the incident. According to his statement
really released by a Michigan law firm Monday afternoon, this
guy got lawyered up immediately.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Oh yeah, well, you know you're sit in those seats
you're right behind. You probably got some money. Yeah, those
are not cheap seats, especially with how well the line's
been playing.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I got to buy that wig.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
A statement said that Kennedy has experienced harassment, threats, and
messages advocating violence since reports began circulating on social media
that Kennedy used a racial slur towards me Metcalf and
called Metcalf's mother an inflammatory word. According to ESPN, DK Metcalf,
who plays for the Seattle Seahawks UH before being traded
(10:11):
to the Steelers, as we all know, had reported the
fan to Seattle team security in the past. Oh so they.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Had a So this guy's got a history with getting
under Metcalf's skin.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, in twenty twenty three. In twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Hey, dkay, I see you are back. I see you
are back in Detroit.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Come with Stan bitches.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Look who is back here on the sideline in Detroit
to be like, I don't know either. We meet again
my old friend. I have a Detroit fan who lives
under your ski. You ever turning a different outfit?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
You see that I have a different wig.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I love that this guy's a serial heckler.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
The Dodgers, Matt, are in the news man because of money.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
You mentioned DK coming out of the tunnel. That fing
guy is here again, man, and I'm on a different team.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I'm gonna kill him.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Oh, kill.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Matt. The Dodgers some money involved.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yes, one hundred and sixty nine point four million dollar check, Matt, please.
That is what they are writing to the league to
spread amongst the other teams that don't spend the way
they're supposed to spend this year. It is a one
hundred and sixty nine point four million dollar luxury tax bill.
They won their second straight World Series. That means over
(11:37):
the last two years, as they are victorious, two hundred
and seventy two point four million dollars is what they
are paying to be able to go over that soft cap,
as they like to call it. You just gotta pay
for The New York Mets are the second highest assessment.
UH ninety one point six million is what we're talking about,
despite missing the playoffs. Their tax three hundred and twenty
(11:59):
point three million over the last four years and they
have nothing to show for it. At least two hundred
and seventy two point four million bucks gets you a
couple World Series out well.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
The Dodgers are able to save money by not giving
Tim Kates his ring right any three of them that
he earned right.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
None of them does not have any.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Those three rings have brought at least I don't know
five impact players to.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
The team, maybe six. I don't think there's any large
neotbar if Kates get those rings, no talk. Yeah you're
right now, bark guys. We can't afford them. We got
to give Kates them.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
So when you see Kates, thank him for his sacrifice
in the survice, it's my sacrifice. We'll be back with
more petrosend money on AMPI seventy. LA Sports Top Story
of the day, We'll address usc Notre Dame going away.

everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We're going to Monday Night football.
The forty nine Ers and the Colts will kick off
just after the top of the hour. Big One for
the Rams says they are hoping the Colts can pull
off the upset and they can get back on track
to maybe winning the NFC West.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Okay, it is time for the flip Top story of
the day.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I'll put you out, i.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Will put you out to you.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
This is the flip Top story of the day.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Well, they went and did it. Lincoln Riley chirped about
it when he first got the job, before Jen Cohen
was even in place. The USC Athletic director and USC
Athletic director Jen Collen got a little ruffled, it seems
by the stubbornness shown on the Notre Dame side, not
(13:56):
bending on the schedule, which I didn't think needed to
be changed at all, but us he felt like they
needed something to save face in negotiations, and now modern
USC leadership and even to a certain degree, Notre Dame
leadership has let everybody down and USC Notre Dame will
(14:18):
not be played. If it is played again, the earliest
USC and Notre Dame can resume, as Scott Wolf tweeted
out first schedule wise is twenty thirty. That is the
earliest it can resume, and Scott Wolf, from everybody from
Scott to Keishawn Johnson has pointed out, none of the
(14:41):
people that did this are likely to be there in
twenty thirty. Yet they're doing it. And it was not
just something we were screaming in the wind about in
the last couple months during the season. It is a
real thing, and it just doesn't I mean, not playing
Stanford in cal is one thing, but this just doesn't
(15:02):
feel like USC college football anymore. And I'm not the
only one saying it anymore either.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I don't believe it was going to happen. P I
think I know that they were in disbelief because it
just it's so ridiculous. It's completely asinine, and yeah, it's
crazy that we're talking about it in this context today.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
It's truly Notre Dame has taken their ball and gone home,
and USC has basically done the same. And I hope
maybe in the future, making what is an ever changing
college football playoff sometime in the next couple of years,
maybe is worth for these people killing the most special
(15:42):
game on the calendar for either team. The identity of
everybody that played at USC and the identity of everybody
that played at Notre Dame. And yeah, USC started this,
and yeah it makes them look soft.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
He started it.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
They did, They started it, and it makes them look
soft as hell, and it makes them look like they're
running from Notre Name. And because no one ever said
anything about this ever other than Lincoln Riley, and now
Lincoln Riley, the head coach at USC, seems to have
gotten his way, and they're people that won't be there
in twenty thirty and other people are going to have
(16:22):
to come in and be left to clean this up
on both sides, and for the sake of college football,
like you said, Matt, a little bit astonishing that it's
actually happening. Both schools needed to bend a little bit
to avoid this debacle. So you could say it's on USC,
but it's also on Notre Dame a little bit. What
(16:45):
stands out though to me, like I said, is it
feels like USC capitulated to Lincoln Riley's wishes instead of
holding up one of the great pillars of college football
and saying we will be one of the standard bears
in this new era and hold up this pillar despite
all the change. We're not going to be blown down
(17:06):
by the wins of change. And they've capitulated to a
coach who's not from here, who understands very little, it
seems about USC football. Coaches come and go. AD's come
and go, and Matt, we've been on the job here
since two thousand and seven. You and I were going
to enter our twentieth year, so we've dealt with a
(17:28):
lot of this stuff over the years as a show
together as the tides have moved. Look at USC since
twenty ten, the ad list is Mike Garrett, Pat Hayden,
Lynn Swan, the boner Reno, Mike.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Mohon bon Areno bon bon bone.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Bone, bone, bone bone, and Jen Cohen and the coaches.
Lane Kiffen replaced Pete Carroll in January twenty ten, then
sark Edojeron, Clay Helton, Dante Williams who coached about ten games.
Oh forgot about that, and Lincoln Riley only there was
a fifth quarter. There's no yeah, ain no telling what
(18:10):
could have happened if we had another fifteen minutes. There
is literally nobody left to protect the walls of Troy.
And forget the reasons why US he has had so
many ads and football coaches over the last fifteen years,
just realize that the overall leadership has eroded. Right now,
(18:32):
USC doesn't even have a school president to step in
and fix this, and US has had a real leadership void,
you could say ever since doctor Steven Sample stepped down
in twenty ten. Stronger school leadership and guidance could have
helped avoid this debacle. I think that goes without saying,
(18:55):
and it's it's it's done. It's done for at least
four or five years.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
It's you think about, like if Pete Carroll had tried
to pull it off in like two thousand, like you
said when we first got on the air in two
thousand and six or something, after two national championships, then
it's still embarrassing and annoying.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
But you're like, all right, well.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
You know he would have never been allowed to no. No,
he would have never done. The powers that be at USC,
Steven Sample was still there, they would have never allowed
him to do that. Yes, certainly he had more success.
If Jean McKay tried to do it, he would have
been stopped. No one should, no USC coach should be
able to put a stop to the Notre Dame rival. Now,
(19:35):
whether it's Pete Carroll or Howard Jones who started it.
I mean, I hope that USC makes the twenty twenty
six playoffs for their sake. But here's a reminder of
how Lincoln Riley's teams have done in the playoffs. In
the twenty seventeen season, Oklahoma lost to Georgia fifty four
to forty eight in the first round at the Rose
(19:57):
Bowl the College Football Playoff, they gave up fifty four points.
In twenty eighteen, Oklahoma loss to Alabama forty five to
thirty four in the College Football Playoff first round in
the Orange Bowl. In twenty nineteen, Oklahoma loss to LSU
sixty four to twenty eight in the sixty four that's
tight one in the College Football Playoff first round in
(20:19):
the Peach Bowl. And then you add his two biggest
games at USC twenty twenty two, they lost forty seven
to twenty four to Utah and in the PAC twelfth
Championship in Vegas with a college football playoff berth on
the line. They didn't play any games in significance in
twenty three and twenty four, and then this last season,
(20:39):
USC lost forty two to twenty seven to Oregon with
a potential college football playoff at large berth on the line.
Links Sooner and Trojan teams have allowed two hundred and
fifty two points in the five biggest games of his
coaching career. This is the guy that gets to say
(20:59):
USC doesn't play Notre Dame. His teams have allowed over
fifty points per game in the most important games, and
there's no That's the thing that really bothers me, and
what really should leave people ashamed is there's no guarantees
that se Notre Dame will ever resume.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
No, not when it's four years away. A lot can
change between now and then. Notre Dame could join a conference,
There could be a super conference incoming that will dictate
terms considerably different. Look, we've lost every bit of just
about every bit of tradition in college football. This was
one of the last remaining things that we were able
(21:37):
to hold on to. And like you said, it's not
necessarily Notre Dame is not innocent in all of this.
They could have acquiesced to Lincoln's ear.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
No one should. I've been on record obviously he said
a lot about this, But I'm with you, Matt, no
one should ever said anything in the first place. Right
should have never been changed in the first place. But
once Lincoln Riley started chirping, the ball started rolling and
everybody felt like they needed to save face in these
relatively public negotiations. And because of that, because of this
(22:08):
lack of leadership, especially at USC, that they're allowed to
do this, we've lost SC Notre Dame. So good luck
in the playoffs if the Trojans ever get there. And
I blame Lincoln Riley and the week leadership at USC
for allowing this to happen. And you know it's not
lost on me, Matt that for years, when USC was
(22:30):
in trouble, talking about people like Lynn Swann, Pat Hayden
and even Mike Garrett for what was allowed under Pete Carroll,
all these different story we've had, I was always saying,
USC needs new blood, a real professional ad, a coveted
coach that comes from the outside, and then you get
(22:51):
new blood and they don't respect USC's number one in
best tradition, and on their watch they let it go away.
And I feel ashamed. I mean, for as bad as
Mike Garon and Pat Hayden and Lynn Swann were, and
they were bad, a lot of things that were really
not savory happened under them, including the Varsity Blues scandal.
(23:13):
But I don't think any of those ads would have
ever allowed this to happen. Not on your life, they
would ever allowed this to happen. Yeah, No, I wonder.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I almost wonder if they saw this because Notre Dame
has taken all the incoming for their scheduling and why
they were left off, and they start running their mouth
about how they should be included.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
They saw a moment in time to pile on Notre
Dames and look, we couldn't make it work with them either, right, Yeah,
that's not with people like me. It's not going to work. No,
Like it's just you know, and they should.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Think they saw a window and they're like, f it,
let's take it.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
They might have, but it's not working. I mean, it
works with Colin Cowherd and the people that carry water
for the university and for modern day Lincoln Riley, fight all,
fight all, but ultimately USC should just replace the band
with a DJ and replace the songgirls with like Ai
OnlyFans chick right, change the horse out for those two
(24:13):
streamers that interviewed Puka Nakua. Right, Let's just let's do
it all. It doesn't matter anymore. This is a dark
mark on the university for a lack of leadership. And
if USC is not going to play Notre Dame every year,
I don't I don't know. I'm agree with Keishaan. Let's
(24:35):
just not play football. Let's just play Davis and play
those schools. Sacramento State, forget about it.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Well, if it means punching your ticket to the playoff,
where all you got to do is put up a
sixty spot and you're getting out there with a win,
then I'm all four.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
If we guys, if we can score fifty four today,
we can get out of here with a victory.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Okay, all we need is three stops and we can't
get them.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
And I can't get but one.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
It's it is a shameful day in the history of
college football, and it started with Lincoln Riley, somebody who
you would question should even be at the USC football
program as the head coming.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
It's a question. I don't think he's got any business
being there.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Not not halfish out of water. It's always has been.
It's it's it's become a nightmare. When he got hired,
I thought it was a moment of glory, and now
we're all living in a nightmare. We'll be right back
with your dad and alive guy. Birthday of the day,
the USC Notre Dame rivalry is dad for now.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
All right, Matt, you're dead guy. Birthday of the day
at trad death would have been one hundred and four today,
but dead since the sixties. Hawkshaw Hawkins a great country
music star from Huntington, West Virginia. He got his nickname.
And of course, Matt, you know we have a country
(27:17):
quota that we just feel like we have to fill.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
I need five guys, five k frogs five.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
One of the more ridiculous meetings in the history of
our employment.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I was thinking maybe a little more Carrie Underwood, a
little less Hawkshaw Hawkins.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Well, I'm sorry, but Hawkshaw was a star. He got
his nickname Hawkshaw after he helped the boy find two missing
fishing rods near his home. His real name was Harold
Franklin Hawkins, but Hawkshaw was a famous comet detective Okay
of the early twentieth century.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Finding fishing pulls equate to.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Hawkshaw because he found them polls.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Matt I didn't realize his detective's name.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Come on, Mat, everybody remembers the Hawkshaw Detective series in
nineteen seventeen. In nineteen twenty, he was a country singer
and a guitarist. He did lots of radio. When he
was nineteen, he married a sixteen year old. He went
into the army in World War Two, stationed in France,
(28:23):
fought in the Battle of the Bulge, received a bunch
of stars. Was also stationed in Manila, and he performed
in both places, France and Manila with his tutar and
his country style. After the war, he had some success.
(28:44):
Being six foot five, they called him eleven yards of personality.
He was on the Ozark Jubilee and then the Grand
Old Opry, where he married his second wife, country star
Jane Shepherd. They met at the operation. After performing in
Kansas City with Cowboy Coopas and Patsy Cline, the Great patsy.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Cline, Oh No, he.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Switched tickets with a guy named Billy Walker and flew
private and crashed on March fifth in a remote forest
in Tennessee. Everybody died. He had a pregnant widow at
the time. That would be Gene Shephard patsy Cline. Of course,
the day country music died. There was a stone marker
(29:34):
in the remote forest where the plane went down. It
is said the Gibson guitar that was Hawkshaw Hawkins was
standing straight up like a grave marker over the plane crash.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
According to some still unsettling.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
A little bit known for songs like is My Ring
on Your Finger and Rattle Snaking Daddy and it would
be a Dog Online after his death, he achieved a
lot more success as a country musician that he did
in life.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
I guess you're connected to the patsy Cline. Thing that's
probably gonna help.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Probably. I don't know if the Big Bopper feels similarly, Matt.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
I don't think the Bob caught the pop.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
The Hawk got country star, tragic figure, Hawkshaw Hawkins.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
The excuse me, damn it. You're a live guy.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
If you are on an album called Truth in Shredding,
then PMS is for you, Australian News.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
King, It's Kip and this is Petros and Money's Australian News.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
I'll listen to that. I want to talk about shredding.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
That's truth in Shredding right here, Happy sixty seventh to
Frank Gimbali.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Boy, these guys shred so hard.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
This is you know, we had things before COVID, and
we had groceries that were affordable. We had the NAM
Convention and this is but months before the whole country
shut down NAM twenty twenty. When guys like Frank Gimbali
would show up at the Anaheim Convention Center or one
(31:27):
of the surrounding hotels, would grab a guitar, and a
bunch of freaks that'd like to move their fingers up
and down a front board would lose their mind.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
What's stopping him from going back.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Nam's never been the same man. COVID killed it, just
killed it. All the guitar companies and the pedal companies
and the piano companies were just like, do we really
need to do this anymore? They're just really essential in
an age of social media and online shopping where we
got to drag our ass and set up a giant Yes,
(32:01):
exactly they do.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
But is it what it once was?
Speaker 3 (32:06):
I don't know. I think there's more cars than ever.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Sadly, NAM is no longer what it was, but Gambali
is still Gimbali born in Canberra, Australia, came to the
States to shred at the Guitar Institute of Technology. Student
of the Year multiple times, went on to teach the
youth and the ways of tasty licks of colorful chords,
prodigious fretboard performance. He is currently the head of Guitar
(32:34):
at the LA Music Academy. He shreds so hard he
break his stick, Well not really, he shreds so hard
he got his own style of playing named after him.
They call it the Gambali tuning method, which I guess
like the lowest string is the fifth and not the sixth.
Then they use electric guitars, and they moved the strings
(32:55):
around from the A to the bee.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
From the sixth of the three.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Oh you got it all?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
How about this, I'm gonna read it. The B string
will be tuned up a half step to see the
first and second strings. Use a D in a G
string from a standard nine gauge set tuned up a
whole step, so D is tuned to E and the
G is tuned to A. It might be the greatest
thing I've ever read. He was in the chick corea
(33:19):
electric band p in eighty seven. That's pretty strong jazz
fusion to the nines.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Nobody loves it more than us.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Right about that?
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Maybe Jame's worthy a worthy listening. Right now, he's freaking
out man. Five albums, two Grammy nominations. He was in
Vital Information with Steve Smith for twelve years. Hell of
a wide receiver. Most favorites per his sweet picking, where
the guitarist plays single notes on consecutive strings with a
sweeping motion of the pick while using the fretting hand
(33:49):
to produce a specific series of notes that are.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
Fast and fluid.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Gimbali has got a lot of guitar and jazz magazine covers.
To his credit, he is been cited as a prime
influence to Dweezl Zappa, Greg Howe, Pat Matheeney, even sevenfold
Sinister Gates.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Well, thank you, right, I none of that meant anything
until e.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Seven sinister Gates.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
And if none of that and if it wasn't for
sinister Gates, maybe that doesn't impress everybody. P But how
about this quote from a nineteen ninety one interview with
Rolling Stone. My personal favorite lately is this guy, Frank Gombali.
He's been playing with chick Corea for the past couple
of years.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
He's amazing. That was Jerry Garcia.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Wow, whoa whoa about that?
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Happy sixty seven? Make them great again? People, Happy sixty seven,
Frank Gombali.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
All right, everybody, enjoy the football game tonight, and thank
you for listening. Be safe out there, be patient. You
might have to wait at a red light or two.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
