Speaker 4 (01:53):
Final our fun fact pe did you know the Saint
Patrick's Day staple corned beef and cabbage American an American
invention in Ireland, It's ham and cabbage, but corn beef
cheap substitute for the dirt poor Irish immigrants living in
the slums of Lower Manhattan during the late nineteenth century,
that's still Irish. They would buy left over corn beef
(02:13):
from these ships returning from the tea trade in China.
Would boil the beef three times, the last time with
cabbage to remove some of the brine. Hence the staples.
So if you feel the need to eat the corn
beef and cabbage today, just know all those people they
ate it because they had to. I usually do because
they wanted to.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Usually stop by Robbie Bogdanovich's for his corn, beef and
cabbage because he does a great job with it, right,
or make it maybe a sandwich. All right, it's time
for quick hits. Toms, quick hits, come, make it quick.
Y'all love it the Dodgers. I love that Dodgers are
(02:52):
in Tokyo. Yamamotos on the mound and the opener matches
talked about it. Mookie Bets got sick and won't play
in either game. In top he reportedly lost fifteen pounds,
meaning he weighs one hundred and sixty five. Now he's
not a big guy. No, that's uh. He's on this
vegan die. Not gonna have any pop when he comes
back either. That's terrible news for the Dodgers there. Their
(03:16):
leader is out, but the NBA rolls on forty one
to twenty five. The Lakers host the Spurs to night.
Everybody's hurt, everybody's out. Lebron takes every March off to
go get juiced up in Germany allegedly, but the Clippers
have won six to seven. The boat is coming. I
don't think you guys to go to Germany anymore. I
(03:37):
think back in the day you had to go over there. Now,
who cares.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Germany comes to nobody cares. Whatever you got the beard
that covers up that weird job of yours. Just keep
it going, dude.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Clippers host the Calves tomorrow night. That should be a
good game. Clippers are doing well, and you just rolled
right over it to talk about Lebron.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I think that's why it was in Sacramento. Actually, Sacramento
is the new Germany when it comes to that. Yeah,
I'm gonna go watch my son in the state championship.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Isn't your groin hurt? Why'd you just jump up out
of your chair like a while? Wait a minute. Philadelphia
seventy six ers forward our old friend Paul George has
been ruled out for the rest of the season after
receiving injections and his left adductor. Didn't have to go
to the German place to get that. No muscle and
a left knee injected. George spent the last week consulting
(04:25):
with el ductors. Would they get you doing and what
they got you doing? I'm in there at like nine am.
And what they got you doing? Groin and knee injuries
treatment options he was looking into. Thirty four year old
has played through groin finger and knee ailments this season,
his training was not enough.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, guys, you're gonna have to offer me the full
four year extension at max prices. Yeah, but you know,
you've missed like half half of the game since we
signed you to the other two max deals, and we
just feel like maybe I can flip something here, kind
of cut us a little bit of slack.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I'm not cleaving myself and what they got you doing.
I will train. UCLA is a seventh seed in the
NCAA Tournament. They take on the aggaz and you tossed
eight on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
How do you know that?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Widely widely reported.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Cronstall about we were winning at halftime.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Cronin v Calhoun, excited about being back in March madness.
That's a crowdit set.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
We're extremely excited to be here.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
I've been a long, long process getting back here. A
lot of a lot of uh.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Well, Kobe and I went to dinner, but the rest
of these guys a lot of portal zooms, a lot
of portal zooms and uh. I'd say about forty days
and no sleep from me last spring putting this team together.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Tyler drugged me out to the end I think too.
He was the last guy.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
But uh, a lot of work by the staff to
get us back to where we you know, we were,
had the team that could be back in the NCAA tournament.
So and then playing into Big ten for the first
time with a team with most of our leading scores,
uh were first year players.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
It's a huge challenge for us, and not to travel
just the Big Ten.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
A lot of good teams, a lot of really good teams,
great coaches, but a lot of really good players, a
lot of really good teams. So but as you guys know,
everything we do and we talk about with the with
our team is to get to this point, get to
this moment.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
So we're fired up.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I'm fired up after that. Uh, you saw Cronin out there.
I did.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
He was despondent, is how I would describe him in
the second half. And I had to, as we mentioned
in how was your Weekend? I had to haul aass
to catch a plane. But I said to Mike Wosniak,
my partner calling the games, I said, under no circumstances
are you to leave this arena until Mick Cronin comes
out for his postgame interview with those two gentlemen right
(06:51):
behind you, Josh Lewin, he said he sense Everina, he
didn't even come out.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Oh, congrats to you. See is they have accepted a
bid to the College Basketball Crown in Las Vegas later
this month. It is a new postseason college hoops tournament
featuring sixteen teams that did not make the NCUBLEA tournament.
This guy is the best actor in Hollywood not working now.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I don't know if any of the criteria was most
f bombs captured by reading lips on a Big Ten
tournament broadcast, but if in fact that was part of
the criteria for who makes the Crown, Musselman was the
one seed.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I guess the muscolo is maybe his friend is run
of the tournament or something. We never know. Women's hoops
and Muscolo. You want to come to the Crown due
a job. Do it for you, brother, after what you
did for me that night at San Anton. Congrats to
USC for women. UCLA is the number one overall seed
in the NCAA tournament. Yes he got a one seed,
(07:55):
but it wasn't good enough for troachan head coach there.
They disrespect Lindsay got Leab.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I'd never thought I'd be a one seed and feel disrespected.
But I thought the committee, I just I thought there
would be very little chance we would be the number
four overall number one. And so you know, we've got
a big game here on Saturday against UNCG, and we'll
handle it accordingly. But you tell me if you think
that bracket that we got should have been the one
that it was.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I can't speak for the players.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I think they're excited to play, but this was not
a my big go card to be a little bit,
you know, frustrated after being a one seed, And it's not,
you know, an arrogance of any kind. I think there's
a lot of really good teams and you got to
play the first game in front of you and earn
your way from there, and that's what we'll do. But
sometimes I don't understand people who make decisions in women's
(08:42):
basketball and why they do what they do, and certainly
with this committee, I would love to ask some question.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, sounds like you are offended that you feel disrespect.
She doesn't. She's just doing this to motivate her team.
This is a low Holtz type. Have you seen n
Have you seen them? But UNCG, it's a little it's
a little cheap. It's like, come on, lindsay you're better
than that.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
By the way, before we get too far away from it,
I just want to point out in the Las Vegas Crown,
that's a stacked field, man, Do.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You really want to say you want to say all
their names? I know, so why don't you go ahead?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Well, it's kind of like a pseudo Pac twelve tournament,
if you will. Arizona State in there, Oregon State in there,
Washington stayed in there, Utah, Colorado. Many of the teams
that departed the back twelf are going to be part
of the Las Vegas Crown. And then you mix in Cincinnati, Butler,
Boise State, Central Florida, Boise he had a good year,
(09:44):
George Washington, Nebraska two lane Villanova seems like a heck
of a field and historically relevant teams no longer relevant.
De Paul and Georgetown. Hey, okay, and you got a
collection of squads that you might want to go see.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It could have been a lot worse. It really could have.
I mean, it's it's actually not that bad of a field.
Those are brand names. La Sparks, Stark. Cameron Brink went
on a podcast Cameron Brink was asked about on a
podcast about how the team's going to bring in men
as practice players, which is pretty common practice in high
level women's basketball. I don't know why this is a thing.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The decision has sparked uncomfortable reactions after announcing its plans
to welcome dudes into the training facility to compete against
the athletes during workouts, and there was some guys being
stupid joking around about how they would handle one on
one with Brink, Rikia Jackson, and Kelsey Plumb on the court.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
I guess my confession is I'm really icked out by
the potential new practice players.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Wait what, I haven't seen the post.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
Can you give me an example.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
It's basically just like a flyers like me, Dierica, Rikia,
and Kelsey, and it's like male practice players wanted and
usually we use like USC college guys that also like
do it for the woman, okay. And all the comments
are like let Cameron Brank back me down, like or
something about ta or something on Kelsey, and I'm just like,
preferably they're gay. No for real, that's like I need
(11:12):
to go through with heavy HR training. Who are we
trusting coming into this gym? But the nerve to just
like sit there on their phones and be like, I
want to back that one, Cameron, you want to back
it up on me?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
No, but like, did you imagine not boxing anyone else
whose podcast is I don't know. It's terrible. The people
the podcast, the people tweeting those things are not the
practice players. It's a very professional thing that's been done
for many years. As miss Brink was alluding to, the
mistake was to put this on social media where people
(11:44):
don't understand that this is a common practice for decades,
for high level women's hoops teams that they practice against
very good men's players. Like, let's say, I'd.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Be surprised by that reaction on social media, though, I'd
be like, you know, I'm really surprised the social media
media reacted.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I can't believe I went there.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I did not suspect this coming. Who would have ever guessed, No,
it's a shot a guess that that's what the comments
would be, but it is.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
It is.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I mean, this is a common practice. What's not common?
A lot of people don't know that though, right, So
they don't know that this is common. So you put
it in public, like we're looking for a practice squads.
You're gonna get stuff like this because you're stupid and
you're the LA Sparks got to help you. Only Bill
Plaski cares. We'll be back. I think they're great.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I know Josh Passner will join us next because he
was so great the first time. Are out, Petro said,
money Am, five seventy LA Sports. We live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app, making away all the way until seven pm.
Of course, Dodgers Baseball here on your home of the
World Series champion Dodgers two am, Tim Kates and Dodgers
(12:51):
on deck with a three ten am first pitch. Of
course tomorrow will do the replay in the midday at noon,
because all of that just makes sense to line up.
But most importantly, p at his Thursday tournament basketball is
back as you're home of the UCLA Bruins. We got
UCLA Utah State with a six twenty five pm tip
right here on a five seventy LA sports.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Well man a special guest joining us right now, Josh Passner. Yes,
former NCAA champion as a player in Arizona. I remember
that former head coach at Memphis and Georgia Tech. He
bumbled with the beat. You see him on ESPN and Peacock.
(13:35):
He's a PAC twelve well when it used to exist,
and a West Coast guy at heart, never heard of this.
What is this PAC Twell? You know where can I
find it? Was actually the Big West this year in
Oregon State and Washington statement at early exit. But that's
not the point. The point is this is a West
Coast guy that likes to come on in LA. That's
why we got it. Joining us on your Southern California
(13:56):
Toyota Nead a celebrity hotline on the eve of the
Big Dodger Game tomorrow and of course the tournament this week.
A lot going on. Josh Pasner on the Petroson Money Show.
What's crack it?
Speaker 8 (14:06):
Josh?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
How are you?
Speaker 8 (14:08):
I am doing well, gentlemen, thanks for having me.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
Yes.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
By the end of our conversation today, central Connecticut state
could be in the Mountain West. Who knows where it
could be? You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Yeah, they're let's go. They're all seeing each other too.
And the PAC twelve is on the search for one more.
I mean, we don't know where.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
It's going to be where, but yes, I have many
years at Arizona. I love the West Coast, great battles
when I was there at the U of A against
UCLA and some just tremendous times there, and I can't
speak enough good things about At the time when I
was there, it was the Pac ten incredible basketball league.
(14:46):
I will like to say we are the final team
to have ever won a national championship from the PAC
Pac twelve, whatever you want to call it. And that's
the nineteen ninety seven Arizona Wildcast because right now that
conference no long longer exists, and when they do bring
it back, or if they bring it back, it's obviously
going to be a totally different deal.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
It's gonna have two lane. Josh Passner is our guest
overall though, with the assimilation of those former Pac ten
teams U c l A, SC, Washington, Oregon, we're going
to see Oregon and U c l A and the
Big Dance. How did you feel like it went year
one with all the travel and everything everybody talked about
(15:26):
in the off season.
Speaker 8 (15:27):
Well, obviously USC and Washington, you know, well Washington to
make the Big Ten Tournament. USC had some ups and downs,
and they did win the first game in the Big
Ten Tournament versus Rutgers, but then lost the next game
versus Purdue. But Oregon and UCLA they had early exits
in the Big Ten tournament, but overall they are both
(15:48):
in the turn both in the NCAA tournament. What I
would tell you, I know it was a lot of travel.
I could only you know, I've said with a coaching
in the league. But I understand about the wear and
tear on travel when you're going back and forth. I get,
but that's the way it is in this league, and
obviously coming from east to west there probably is a
little bit of advantage travel wise. I think everyone will
(16:09):
adjust next season. Coach Cronin, coach Musselman, coach Altman, coach
sprinkled all adjust moving forward of understanding, Okay, this is
what we've got to do. Maybe we've got to go
two days earlier, whatever it may be. The adjustment that
will need to be made understanding travel, understanding the league
differently now. But it's not going anywhere. I mean, this
(16:31):
is just this is the way it is, and this
is how it is, and the leagues are not going smaller.
The only thing they could do is go bigger. And
in fact, I think eventually you'll move from twenty games
to possibly even more games, and so within league in
some in certain times, that could happen in the near future,
so I think they'll adjust. It'll be interesting to see
(16:52):
what Oregon and ULA does in the tournament this week,
and you know, they've got great opportunities in front of them. Obviously,
UCLA is playing a really tough Utah State team to
start off, but then they're going to have a monster
game if they get through that problem against Tennessee. And
you're looking at Oregon, who's got a tough game versus Liberty,
but then you've got them, you know, possibly playing an
old Pac ten matchup in Arizona. What I would tell
(17:15):
you is it was funny when I was in the
ESTM studio the other day during the ACC tournament and
it was a big it was an ACC game and
it was Stanford versus cal and I was like, what
is going on? You know, they're in the ACC. I
was so used to always seeing them in the Pac
ten Pac twelve. But that's the way things have changed now.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
In the a c CEE.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Josh, the h is there like how much concern I
don't know, if you want to put a percentage on
it or just speak to it. The fact that UCLA
took part in the most lopsided affair in the Big
Ten tournament that they got absolutely blown off the court
from tip Is that just a bad matchup? Can you
flush that? It is sort of that same concern we
(17:54):
had about this team offensively when they match up with
a really good team, Like, what do you do with
that game?
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Well, here's what I would tell you. I mean, I
would take it look at the two ways. Because the
game before overs USC, they had a lotside to win
against USC, you know, I mean, they they crushed USC
at poly Pavilion. But then you know whatever, six days
later they're playing Wisconsin and Wisconsin crushed in. Now, part
of it is Wisconsin's perimeter players are really good. I
(18:22):
think Wisconsin's a team that can win games in this tournament.
And I think possibly at times UCLA can struggle against
against a really good perimeter players that can kind of
break you down off the dribble, which which Wisconsin has
in in tan Jay and Blackwell, especially John Tanjay, who
I think could have made a case for the Big
Ten Player of the Year. But look, Ucla is still
(18:44):
really good. I mean, you look at a couple of
things that they do well. They take care of the ball.
I mean, that's just the reality of it. They that's
that is a big thing in this tournament, is if
you can take care of the ball. I mean, they
have almost five fewer turnovers per I was looking at
the stats last night when the brackets came out, which
is the best in the Big Ten and one of
(19:06):
the top ten in the country. So they really do
a nice job of taking care of the ball. They
score points off of turnovers. They force you into turnovers,
which is a big deal. That's a big thing in
this tournament. For a team that you like a Utah
State you might not be as familiar with or they're
not as familiar with you. If you can impose your
will and force those turners turnovers on them initially, that's
(19:28):
a big deal. So I wouldn't put too much stock
in it. I really wouldn't. I think Wisconsin's really good now.
If they bow out the first round here to Utah State,
I don't see UCLA. If they get past Utah State,
I do not see them beating Tennessee. I just don't
see that happening because, as I mentioned, about the perimeter
players there with Tennessee and Chas Lanier and Gainey and
(19:52):
Zaki Ziegler, I think they will beat UCLA. So I
do think USLA will beat Utah State, but will their
end will run when they play Tennessee, especially based because
I think Tennessee's backcourt will give UCLA problems.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Well, if that is the state of Southern California basketball, Josh,
talk to us about the twelve five upset and you
see San Diego and what Eric Olan is doing down there,
and whether or not that could be the one you
circle on your bracket because you know there's always one
every year. Is that the one we're going to be
looking at.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Well, look, Eric has done a great job with you
see San Diego. I mean you look at their numbers.
Their numbers on both sides of the ball are outstanding.
Everyone talks about their offense. But before we say they're
going to be you know they're going to win and
have that upset, what I would tell you is Michigan's
(20:42):
really good. They just got done winning the Big Ten
tournament championship and they play very unique. You guys know
this watching UCLA in the Big Ten for the fans
who maybe not fully understand Michigan. They've got Danny Wilf
of seven footer, a transfer from Yale, and another seven
footer of Lad Golden, a transfer from Florida Atlantic, who
(21:03):
came with Dusty May, the coach of Michigan, who came
with him on the train when he took the job.
Those two are seven footers. Rarely do you see that
in college basketball two seven footers playing Heck, you don't
even see it in the NBA two seven footers playing together.
But those guys actually run, pick and roll together. Dusty
May uses it in a very unique way where Danny
(21:24):
Wolf has the ball and here comes with Lad Golden
setting a screen. It creates problems and mismatches and issues
for the opponent on how you're going to guard those things.
The other thing is Trey Donaldson, their point guard. He's
really good. He's a transfer from Auburn. He's a good player.
So as good as you see San Diego is, and
I know a lot of people are picking them. I
want to remind people Michigan's good. They've got good players.
(21:47):
They do have a problem with turning the ball over,
but the Big ten's a great basketball league. They just
got done winning the Big Tournament champion, the Big Ten
Tournament championship, and they do have a unique system based
on having to legit seven footers in the lineup. If
you're asking me for a twelve five game that I
like that I would possibly take to be McNee State
(22:08):
in Clemson, which is a twelve five. Here we go,
and let me tell you why McNeese State has. They
have a high major team and they have a you know,
they're able to go and pay a bunch of money
for legally which is allowable. Now they're able to you know,
I don't like to call it nil. I just sure
pay to play. And they're able to pay a bunch
(22:28):
of guys that are high major players that instead of
going to the high major conference they came to McNee State.
And this is a high major team that's in the
twelve seed. So they're really good. I think that's going
to give Clemson an issue.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Again.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
I would tell you in this day and age, guys,
everyone's asked me about who she picking the bracket? What
should you do? It's all a crap shoot. And when
I say it's all a crap shoot because you just
don't know because of the NIL as much as people
get on the NIL, and I get there's some issues
with it, the positives about it is there's a lot
of parody, even more so than ever before, because you
(23:03):
can just pay guys, whereas a mid may or maybe
you're not going to pay seven eight guys, but you
can pay two guys. In basketball, all you need is
two good players that can lead you, that can win
you a bunch of games. You have two guys that
can flat out to the ball in the basket, and
everyone else buys in their roles like you can win
a lot of games. So that's where the NIL has
helped because it helps them maybe in parody all throughout
(23:25):
college basketball. So I think this is a little bit
wide opened. On the last point of that, I think
in the last decade there's not been a tournament where
the best one where I don't know if all where
I think all the one and two seeds of the
term the top eight seeds, I think four of them
will be in the final four. I just think that
the ones in two seeds, the top eight seeds are
(23:45):
just better than everybody else in this tournament. If everyone's
helping me, that includes Cooper flag at Duke. That includes
Juwan Roberts at Houston. If that's all the case, those
eight teams are just better than everybody else in this
tournament past there was.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Great We cat you too long, Josh, but that was fantastic.
Now I appreciate going.
Speaker 9 (24:04):
I want to keep going. I want to reminisce on
Arizona UCLA some of those great So we have so
many pros on the court, boat teams, incredible games. I know,
like the back of my head, I miss those days.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Let's go playing versus Sean Elliott Passer, Let's go back.
We appreciate your brother, have a great tournament.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
You too, Thanks, guys.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
All right, there we goes. I know there's a lot
of guys right now and Richard Jefferson jerseys that are
about two sizes too small with their with their white
arms hanging out with a lot of air on their chest.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Thank you to Modelo. Modello meets you a lot of
Monday hashtag Modello USA. Then mark of a Fighter. Uh,
this guy was a bit of a fighter. Matt your
dead guy. Birthday of the day, very interesting, Uh, Jim Gary,
this guy was born in Sebastian, Florida, east coast of
the Shaft of Florida, but raised in Colt Neck, New Jersey.
He would have been eighty four today. He died about
(26:51):
twenty years ago. Uh. Left home at eleven for a year.
It's a different time back then. Well yeah, in a year.
For a year, he slept in an employer's garage and
when the family, the owners of the garage found out,
they made space for him in the house and he
remained close with that family for the rest of his life.
He went to Freehold High where he developed an interest
(27:14):
in wood sculpting. Let's go colonials, Okay, colonialism.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Is that like fri jho l D kind of deal, freehole, freehold,
free suede.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Same high school that us Bruce Springsteen went to. But
this guy, Jim Gary, was a great builder. He was
in the Navy, and in the Navy he taught gymnastics
and welding. He became a master welder and he started
doing giant discarded auto parts sculpture. He had so much
(27:47):
skill with parts he could build cars that worked in bicycles,
which he rode around in the cars long before he
had a license. He figured out giant auto parts resembling
anatomical structures of insects, birds, reptiles, and bones, and he
(28:10):
used ten vehicles to create what he was famous for,
gigantic dinosaur sculptures.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Hence the soundtrack in the background that everybody can now
get that earworm out of their brain.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Sorry, I was gonna go with the beautiful dinosaur train
intro dinosaur train, not a s train, but it was
a little too lyrical. I want to hear about Miss Tyranadon,
you know. Anyway, he also had to invent a bunch
of equipment to build and move all the big giant sculptures. Cranes,
scaffolding hoists. By the early seventies, Jim Gary's twentieth century dinosaurs,
(28:49):
which appeared all over the place and appealed to all ages,
were everywhere. In nineteen seventy, what really broke it was
the the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philly had him
do an exhibition which basically said that legitimized it opened
the door to exhibitions all over. He's the first sculptor
(29:11):
ever to present a solo exhibition at the Smithsonian. Highly acclaimed.
Never heard of it. It's pretty big out there in DC.
When asked why he built the dinosaurs, he said, because
people like them. It's a great answer. I mean right.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
They've been displayed all over the world, from auto shows
to operas, to movies, to botanical gardens, a tour of Japan,
just like the Dodgers, China, China, Australia. His Stegosaurus is
probably his mas famoso, and he's a freaking awesome. Yeah.
(29:52):
For years he had they're they're they're freaking awesome. They're remarkable,
they really are. And for years he had a holiday
event where people could come and see the stuff at
his studio and he would light it up for him
and provide cookies, milk and hot chocolate. Oh and he
got too ill to do that. Seemed like just a
great guy. He did a lot of other sculpting and
art and painting and even stained glass. But just a
(30:16):
prolific artist, but really well known of course for the
dinosaur sculptures. Seemed like a great guy and the work
is really cool. Died in two thousand and six, very suddenly.
Jim Gary, Yeah, these things are cool. You're a live guy,
very easy. William Scott Gorham seventy four years old today,
(30:37):
one of the two lead guitarists for your nineteen seventies
Irish band of record.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Finn Lizzie. Are you on this Saint Patty's Day we
celebrate Finn Lizzie? Of course, are you saying very easy?
Like easy decision or light work for you? Because you're
such a fit Lizzie guy. You're such a cocaine nose. Sadly,
I'm trying to say, phil Ie not passed away a
while ago. But you know they're still keeping it going,
(31:04):
you know, and it's not this same Scott's like, you know,
we're gonna keep this going. I'm gonna find a guy
that sounds kind of like Phil and see if we
can keep this going. Zu eh needling, you know, needing
in dude stage, Yeah, you know. The Gorman is the
one who put the Thin Lizzie Band back together in
twenty ten after they broke up because of Heroin Scott
a big part of that too, But unlike the rest
(31:25):
of the band, which was born in Dublin in nineteen
sixty nine, Gorman is from right here bro Glendale Bro.
He played all over La was known around the city
as one of the best bass players. The Jester's Mud
the ill Ford Subway put out some records. He was
just eighteen years old when his reputation was out there
and was booking studio gigs. His best friend and lead
(31:48):
guitarist of the band was killed in a motorcycle crash,
and just right there he decided, as a tribute to
his friend, Steve, he was going to start playing guitar
and was going to do what he thought Steve could
always do, and that's become one of the best lead
guitar artists in the world. His brother in law, Dude
that married his sister, is drumming for Super Tramp and
convinces Scott to move to the UK and latch on
(32:10):
with them, but the other dudes didn't like him, so
he had to play. After moving from Glendale to the UK,
a bunch of pub bands.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Almost very similar right off the one thirty four.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Is like the Thames, exactly right, very similar, just one's concrete,
one's nice. When Lightout saw him thin Lizzie was falling apart,
he encouraged Gorham to try out. They loved him and
Brian Robertson, so they decided to keep him both, and
the pair came up with that unmistakable sound. Recognizing Scott
was a talented songwriter too, Gorham took on that role,
(32:42):
partnered with Lyn Not and things are going great. They're
putting out hit records, selling out great venues on their tour,
and then the Heroin got them both seventy nine, addicted,
strung out, while still pumping out songs. He wrote nearly
their entire eighty one record, Renegade, but eighty three they're
a mess, unreliable, broke up, so he does the old
studio circuit Asia super Tramp.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Oh oh now you want me?
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Huh super Tramp, thanks a lot, clean himself up In
eighty five, and then reformed Thin Lizzie in ninety six
reunion tours with Ricky Warwick taking over the vocals until
twenty twelve. He founded the spinoff Thin Lizzie band, Black
Star Writers all new material and had that roll in
until twenty twenty one, so he reformed Thin Lizzie. They
(33:25):
are putting out previously unreleased material. Keeps saying they're gonna tour,
but they have not. He just released the acoustic sessions
with original ten songs, including Whiskey and the Jar. Not
a Metallica song, folks, and it was a terrible cover.
By the way, it's not freaking terrible cover. Hell of
a live van. Then, Lizzie Mary lives in London.

Yes, two am, the Dodgers season gets underway with Dodgers
on deck a regular season game they're playing two in
Tokyo and tonight at three ten am.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Let's get to right now the final our fun. In effect,
it's The Yeah We're Three fun fact brought to you
by Prize Picks, America's number one daily fantasy sports app,
the easiest and fastest way to play daily fantasy sports download.
Our app used the code klac to get fifty dollars
instantly after you play a first five dollar lineup. Maybe
(01:49):
get on that Laker cent and toll Prize Picks run
your game.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Final our fun fact pe did you know the Saint
Patrick's Day staple corned beef and cabbage American an American
invention in Ireland, It's ham and cabbage, but corn beef
cheap substitute for the dirt poor Irish immigrants living in
the slums of Lower Manhattan during the late nineteenth century,
that's still Irish. They would buy left over corn beef
(02:13):
from these ships returning from the tea trade in China.
Would boil the beef three times, the last time with
cabbage to remove some of the brine. Hence the staples.
So if you feel the need to eat the corn
beef and cabbage today, just know all those people they
ate it because they had to. I usually do because
they wanted to.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Usually stop by Robbie Bogdanovich's for his corn, beef and
cabbage because he does a great job with it, right,
or make it maybe a sandwich. All right, it's time
for quick hits. Toms, quick hits, come, make it quick.
Y'all love it the Dodgers. I love that Dodgers are
(02:52):
in Tokyo. Yamamotos on the mound and the opener matches
talked about it. Mookie Bets got sick and won't play
in either game. In top he reportedly lost fifteen pounds,
meaning he weighs one hundred and sixty five. Now he's
not a big guy. No, that's uh. He's on this
vegan die. Not gonna have any pop when he comes
back either. That's terrible news for the Dodgers there. Their
(03:16):
leader is out, but the NBA rolls on forty one
to twenty five. The Lakers host the Spurs to night.
Everybody's hurt, everybody's out. Lebron takes every March off to
go get juiced up in Germany allegedly, but the Clippers
have won six to seven. The boat is coming. I
don't think you guys to go to Germany anymore. I
(03:37):
think back in the day you had to go over there. Now,
who cares.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Germany comes to nobody cares. Whatever you got the beard
that covers up that weird job of yours. Just keep
it going, dude.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Clippers host the Calves tomorrow night. That should be a
good game. Clippers are doing well, and you just rolled
right over it to talk about Lebron.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I think that's why it was in Sacramento. Actually, Sacramento
is the new Germany when it comes to that. Yeah,
I'm gonna go watch my son in the state championship.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Isn't your groin hurt? Why'd you just jump up out
of your chair like a while? Wait a minute. Philadelphia
seventy six ers forward our old friend Paul George has
been ruled out for the rest of the season after
receiving injections and his left adductor. Didn't have to go
to the German place to get that. No muscle and
a left knee injected. George spent the last week consulting
(04:25):
with el ductors. Would they get you doing and what
they got you doing? I'm in there at like nine am.
And what they got you doing? Groin and knee injuries
treatment options he was looking into. Thirty four year old
has played through groin finger and knee ailments this season,
his training was not enough.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, guys, you're gonna have to offer me the full
four year extension at max prices. Yeah, but you know,
you've missed like half half of the game since we
signed you to the other two max deals, and we
just feel like maybe I can flip something here, kind
of cut us a little bit of slack.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I'm not cleaving myself and what they got you doing.
I will train. UCLA is a seventh seed in the
NCAA Tournament. They take on the aggaz and you tossed
eight on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
How do you know that?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Widely widely reported.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Cronstall about we were winning at halftime.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Cronin v Calhoun, excited about being back in March madness.
That's a crowdit set.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
We're extremely excited to be here.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
I've been a long, long process getting back here. A
lot of a lot of uh.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Well, Kobe and I went to dinner, but the rest
of these guys a lot of portal zooms, a lot
of portal zooms and uh. I'd say about forty days
and no sleep from me last spring putting this team together.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Tyler drugged me out to the end I think too.
He was the last guy.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
But uh, a lot of work by the staff to
get us back to where we you know, we were,
had the team that could be back in the NCAA tournament.
So and then playing into Big ten for the first
time with a team with most of our leading scores,
uh were first year players.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
It's a huge challenge for us, and not to travel
just the Big Ten.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
A lot of good teams, a lot of really good teams,
great coaches, but a lot of really good players, a
lot of really good teams. So but as you guys know,
everything we do and we talk about with the with
our team is to get to this point, get to
this moment.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
So we're fired up.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I'm fired up after that. Uh, you saw Cronin out there.
I did.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
He was despondent, is how I would describe him in
the second half. And I had to, as we mentioned
in how was your Weekend? I had to haul aass
to catch a plane. But I said to Mike Wosniak,
my partner calling the games, I said, under no circumstances
are you to leave this arena until Mick Cronin comes
out for his postgame interview with those two gentlemen right
(06:51):
behind you, Josh Lewin, he said he sense Everina, he
didn't even come out.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Oh, congrats to you. See is they have accepted a
bid to the College Basketball Crown in Las Vegas later
this month. It is a new postseason college hoops tournament
featuring sixteen teams that did not make the NCUBLEA tournament.
This guy is the best actor in Hollywood not working now.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I don't know if any of the criteria was most
f bombs captured by reading lips on a Big Ten
tournament broadcast, but if in fact that was part of
the criteria for who makes the Crown, Musselman was the
one seed.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I guess the muscolo is maybe his friend is run
of the tournament or something. We never know. Women's hoops
and Muscolo. You want to come to the Crown due
a job. Do it for you, brother, after what you
did for me that night at San Anton. Congrats to
USC for women. UCLA is the number one overall seed
in the NCAA tournament. Yes he got a one seed,
(07:55):
but it wasn't good enough for troachan head coach there.
They disrespect Lindsay got Leab.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I'd never thought I'd be a one seed and feel disrespected.
But I thought the committee, I just I thought there
would be very little chance we would be the number
four overall number one. And so you know, we've got
a big game here on Saturday against UNCG, and we'll
handle it accordingly. But you tell me if you think
that bracket that we got should have been the one
that it was.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I can't speak for the players.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I think they're excited to play, but this was not
a my big go card to be a little bit,
you know, frustrated after being a one seed, And it's not,
you know, an arrogance of any kind. I think there's
a lot of really good teams and you got to
play the first game in front of you and earn
your way from there, and that's what we'll do. But
sometimes I don't understand people who make decisions in women's
(08:42):
basketball and why they do what they do, and certainly
with this committee, I would love to ask some question.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, sounds like you are offended that you feel disrespect.
She doesn't. She's just doing this to motivate her team.
This is a low Holtz type. Have you seen n
Have you seen them? But UNCG, it's a little it's
a little cheap. It's like, come on, lindsay you're better
than that.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
By the way, before we get too far away from it,
I just want to point out in the Las Vegas Crown,
that's a stacked field, man, Do.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You really want to say you want to say all
their names? I know, so why don't you go ahead?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Well, it's kind of like a pseudo Pac twelve tournament,
if you will. Arizona State in there, Oregon State in there,
Washington stayed in there, Utah, Colorado. Many of the teams
that departed the back twelf are going to be part
of the Las Vegas Crown. And then you mix in Cincinnati, Butler,
Boise State, Central Florida, Boise he had a good year,
(09:44):
George Washington, Nebraska two lane Villanova seems like a heck
of a field and historically relevant teams no longer relevant.
De Paul and Georgetown. Hey, okay, and you got a
collection of squads that you might want to go see.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It could have been a lot worse. It really could have.
I mean, it's it's actually not that bad of a field.
Those are brand names. La Sparks, Stark. Cameron Brink went
on a podcast Cameron Brink was asked about on a
podcast about how the team's going to bring in men
as practice players, which is pretty common practice in high
level women's basketball. I don't know why this is a thing.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The decision has sparked uncomfortable reactions after announcing its plans
to welcome dudes into the training facility to compete against
the athletes during workouts, and there was some guys being
stupid joking around about how they would handle one on
one with Brink, Rikia Jackson, and Kelsey Plumb on the court.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
I guess my confession is I'm really icked out by
the potential new practice players.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Wait what, I haven't seen the post.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
Can you give me an example.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
It's basically just like a flyers like me, Dierica, Rikia,
and Kelsey, and it's like male practice players wanted and
usually we use like USC college guys that also like
do it for the woman, okay. And all the comments
are like let Cameron Brank back me down, like or
something about ta or something on Kelsey, and I'm just like,
preferably they're gay. No for real, that's like I need
(11:12):
to go through with heavy HR training. Who are we
trusting coming into this gym? But the nerve to just
like sit there on their phones and be like, I
want to back that one, Cameron, you want to back
it up on me?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
No, but like, did you imagine not boxing anyone else
whose podcast is I don't know. It's terrible. The people
the podcast, the people tweeting those things are not the
practice players. It's a very professional thing that's been done
for many years. As miss Brink was alluding to, the
mistake was to put this on social media where people
(11:44):
don't understand that this is a common practice for decades,
for high level women's hoops teams that they practice against
very good men's players. Like, let's say, I'd.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Be surprised by that reaction on social media, though, I'd
be like, you know, I'm really surprised the social media
media reacted.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I can't believe I went there.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I did not suspect this coming. Who would have ever guessed, No,
it's a shot a guess that that's what the comments
would be, but it is.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
It is.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I mean, this is a common practice. What's not common?
A lot of people don't know that though, right, So
they don't know that this is common. So you put
it in public, like we're looking for a practice squads.
You're gonna get stuff like this because you're stupid and
you're the LA Sparks got to help you. Only Bill
Plaski cares. We'll be back. I think they're great.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I know Josh Passner will join us next because he
was so great the first time. Are out, Petro said,
money Am, five seventy LA Sports. We live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app, making away all the way until seven pm.
Of course, Dodgers Baseball here on your home of the
World Series champion Dodgers two am, Tim Kates and Dodgers
(12:51):
on deck with a three ten am first pitch. Of
course tomorrow will do the replay in the midday at noon,
because all of that just makes sense to line up.
But most importantly, p at his Thursday tournament basketball is
back as you're home of the UCLA Bruins. We got
UCLA Utah State with a six twenty five pm tip
right here on a five seventy LA sports.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Well man a special guest joining us right now, Josh Passner. Yes,
former NCAA champion as a player in Arizona. I remember
that former head coach at Memphis and Georgia Tech. He
bumbled with the beat. You see him on ESPN and Peacock.
(13:35):
He's a PAC twelve well when it used to exist,
and a West Coast guy at heart, never heard of this.
What is this PAC Twell? You know where can I
find it? Was actually the Big West this year in
Oregon State and Washington statement at early exit. But that's
not the point. The point is this is a West
Coast guy that likes to come on in LA. That's
why we got it. Joining us on your Southern California
(13:56):
Toyota Nead a celebrity hotline on the eve of the
Big Dodger Game tomorrow and of course the tournament this week.
A lot going on. Josh Pasner on the Petroson Money Show.
What's crack it?
Speaker 8 (14:06):
Josh?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
How are you?
Speaker 8 (14:08):
I am doing well, gentlemen, thanks for having me.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
Yes.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
By the end of our conversation today, central Connecticut state
could be in the Mountain West. Who knows where it
could be? You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Yeah, they're let's go. They're all seeing each other too.
And the PAC twelve is on the search for one more.
I mean, we don't know where.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
It's going to be where, but yes, I have many
years at Arizona. I love the West Coast, great battles
when I was there at the U of A against
UCLA and some just tremendous times there, and I can't
speak enough good things about At the time when I
was there, it was the Pac ten incredible basketball league.
(14:46):
I will like to say we are the final team
to have ever won a national championship from the PAC
Pac twelve, whatever you want to call it. And that's
the nineteen ninety seven Arizona Wildcast because right now that
conference no long longer exists, and when they do bring
it back, or if they bring it back, it's obviously
going to be a totally different deal.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
It's gonna have two lane. Josh Passner is our guest
overall though, with the assimilation of those former Pac ten
teams U c l A, SC, Washington, Oregon, we're going
to see Oregon and U c l A and the
Big Dance. How did you feel like it went year
one with all the travel and everything everybody talked about
(15:26):
in the off season.
Speaker 8 (15:27):
Well, obviously USC and Washington, you know, well Washington to
make the Big Ten Tournament. USC had some ups and downs,
and they did win the first game in the Big
Ten Tournament versus Rutgers, but then lost the next game
versus Purdue. But Oregon and UCLA they had early exits
in the Big Ten tournament, but overall they are both
(15:48):
in the turn both in the NCAA tournament. What I
would tell you, I know it was a lot of travel.
I could only you know, I've said with a coaching
in the league. But I understand about the wear and
tear on travel when you're going back and forth. I get,
but that's the way it is in this league, and
obviously coming from east to west there probably is a
little bit of advantage travel wise. I think everyone will
(16:09):
adjust next season. Coach Cronin, coach Musselman, coach Altman, coach
sprinkled all adjust moving forward of understanding, Okay, this is
what we've got to do. Maybe we've got to go
two days earlier, whatever it may be. The adjustment that
will need to be made understanding travel, understanding the league
differently now. But it's not going anywhere. I mean, this
(16:31):
is just this is the way it is, and this
is how it is, and the leagues are not going smaller.
The only thing they could do is go bigger. And
in fact, I think eventually you'll move from twenty games
to possibly even more games, and so within league in
some in certain times, that could happen in the near future,
so I think they'll adjust. It'll be interesting to see
(16:52):
what Oregon and ULA does in the tournament this week,
and you know, they've got great opportunities in front of them. Obviously,
UCLA is playing a really tough Utah State team to
start off, but then they're going to have a monster
game if they get through that problem against Tennessee. And
you're looking at Oregon, who's got a tough game versus Liberty,
but then you've got them, you know, possibly playing an
old Pac ten matchup in Arizona. What I would tell
(17:15):
you is it was funny when I was in the
ESTM studio the other day during the ACC tournament and
it was a big it was an ACC game and
it was Stanford versus cal and I was like, what
is going on? You know, they're in the ACC. I
was so used to always seeing them in the Pac
ten Pac twelve. But that's the way things have changed now.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
In the a c CEE.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Josh, the h is there like how much concern I
don't know, if you want to put a percentage on
it or just speak to it. The fact that UCLA
took part in the most lopsided affair in the Big
Ten tournament that they got absolutely blown off the court
from tip Is that just a bad matchup? Can you
flush that? It is sort of that same concern we
(17:54):
had about this team offensively when they match up with
a really good team, Like, what do you do with
that game?
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Well, here's what I would tell you. I mean, I
would take it look at the two ways. Because the
game before overs USC, they had a lotside to win
against USC, you know, I mean, they they crushed USC
at poly Pavilion. But then you know whatever, six days
later they're playing Wisconsin and Wisconsin crushed in. Now, part
of it is Wisconsin's perimeter players are really good. I
(18:22):
think Wisconsin's a team that can win games in this tournament.
And I think possibly at times UCLA can struggle against
against a really good perimeter players that can kind of
break you down off the dribble, which which Wisconsin has
in in tan Jay and Blackwell, especially John Tanjay, who
I think could have made a case for the Big
Ten Player of the Year. But look, Ucla is still
(18:44):
really good. I mean, you look at a couple of
things that they do well. They take care of the ball.
I mean, that's just the reality of it. They that's
that is a big thing in this tournament, is if
you can take care of the ball. I mean, they
have almost five fewer turnovers per I was looking at
the stats last night when the brackets came out, which
is the best in the Big Ten and one of
(19:06):
the top ten in the country. So they really do
a nice job of taking care of the ball. They
score points off of turnovers. They force you into turnovers,
which is a big deal. That's a big thing in
this tournament. For a team that you like a Utah
State you might not be as familiar with or they're
not as familiar with you. If you can impose your
will and force those turners turnovers on them initially, that's
(19:28):
a big deal. So I wouldn't put too much stock
in it. I really wouldn't. I think Wisconsin's really good now.
If they bow out the first round here to Utah State,
I don't see UCLA. If they get past Utah State,
I do not see them beating Tennessee. I just don't
see that happening because, as I mentioned, about the perimeter
players there with Tennessee and Chas Lanier and Gainey and
(19:52):
Zaki Ziegler, I think they will beat UCLA. So I
do think USLA will beat Utah State, but will their
end will run when they play Tennessee, especially based because
I think Tennessee's backcourt will give UCLA problems.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Well, if that is the state of Southern California basketball, Josh,
talk to us about the twelve five upset and you
see San Diego and what Eric Olan is doing down there,
and whether or not that could be the one you
circle on your bracket because you know there's always one
every year. Is that the one we're going to be
looking at.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Well, look, Eric has done a great job with you
see San Diego. I mean you look at their numbers.
Their numbers on both sides of the ball are outstanding.
Everyone talks about their offense. But before we say they're
going to be you know they're going to win and
have that upset, what I would tell you is Michigan's
(20:42):
really good. They just got done winning the Big Ten
tournament championship and they play very unique. You guys know
this watching UCLA in the Big Ten for the fans
who maybe not fully understand Michigan. They've got Danny Wilf
of seven footer, a transfer from Yale, and another seven
footer of Lad Golden, a transfer from Florida Atlantic, who
(21:03):
came with Dusty May, the coach of Michigan, who came
with him on the train when he took the job.
Those two are seven footers. Rarely do you see that
in college basketball two seven footers playing Heck, you don't
even see it in the NBA two seven footers playing together.
But those guys actually run, pick and roll together. Dusty
May uses it in a very unique way where Danny
(21:24):
Wolf has the ball and here comes with Lad Golden
setting a screen. It creates problems and mismatches and issues
for the opponent on how you're going to guard those things.
The other thing is Trey Donaldson, their point guard. He's
really good. He's a transfer from Auburn. He's a good player.
So as good as you see San Diego is, and
I know a lot of people are picking them. I
want to remind people Michigan's good. They've got good players.
(21:47):
They do have a problem with turning the ball over,
but the Big ten's a great basketball league. They just
got done winning the Big Tournament champion, the Big Ten
Tournament championship, and they do have a unique system based
on having to legit seven footers in the lineup. If
you're asking me for a twelve five game that I
like that I would possibly take to be McNee State
(22:08):
in Clemson, which is a twelve five. Here we go,
and let me tell you why McNeese State has. They
have a high major team and they have a you know,
they're able to go and pay a bunch of money
for legally which is allowable. Now they're able to you know,
I don't like to call it nil. I just sure
pay to play. And they're able to pay a bunch
(22:28):
of guys that are high major players that instead of
going to the high major conference they came to McNee State.
And this is a high major team that's in the
twelve seed. So they're really good. I think that's going
to give Clemson an issue.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Again.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
I would tell you in this day and age, guys,
everyone's asked me about who she picking the bracket? What
should you do? It's all a crap shoot. And when
I say it's all a crap shoot because you just
don't know because of the NIL as much as people
get on the NIL, and I get there's some issues
with it, the positives about it is there's a lot
of parody, even more so than ever before, because you
(23:03):
can just pay guys, whereas a mid may or maybe
you're not going to pay seven eight guys, but you
can pay two guys. In basketball, all you need is
two good players that can lead you, that can win
you a bunch of games. You have two guys that
can flat out to the ball in the basket, and
everyone else buys in their roles like you can win
a lot of games. So that's where the NIL has
helped because it helps them maybe in parody all throughout
(23:25):
college basketball. So I think this is a little bit
wide opened. On the last point of that, I think
in the last decade there's not been a tournament where
the best one where I don't know if all where
I think all the one and two seeds of the
term the top eight seeds, I think four of them
will be in the final four. I just think that
the ones in two seeds, the top eight seeds are
(23:45):
just better than everybody else in this tournament. If everyone's
helping me, that includes Cooper flag at Duke. That includes
Juwan Roberts at Houston. If that's all the case, those
eight teams are just better than everybody else in this
tournament past there was.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Great We cat you too long, Josh, but that was fantastic.
Now I appreciate going.
Speaker 9 (24:04):
I want to keep going. I want to reminisce on
Arizona UCLA some of those great So we have so
many pros on the court, boat teams, incredible games. I know,
like the back of my head, I miss those days.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Let's go playing versus Sean Elliott Passer, Let's go back.
We appreciate your brother, have a great tournament.
Speaker 8 (24:25):

Speaker 2 (24:27):
All right, there we goes. I know there's a lot
of guys right now and Richard Jefferson jerseys that are

arms hanging out with a lot of air on their chest.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Thank you to Modelo. Modello meets you a lot of
Monday hashtag Modello USA. Then mark of a Fighter. Uh,
this guy was a bit of a fighter. Matt your
dead guy. Birthday of the day, very interesting, Uh, Jim Gary,
this guy was born in Sebastian, Florida, east coast of
the Shaft of Florida, but raised in Colt Neck, New Jersey.
He would have been eighty four today. He died about
(26:51):
twenty years ago. Uh. Left home at eleven for a year.
It's a different time back then. Well yeah, in a year.
For a year, he slept in an employer's garage and
when the family, the owners of the garage found out,
they made space for him in the house and he
remained close with that family for the rest of his life.
He went to Freehold High where he developed an interest
(27:14):
in wood sculpting. Let's go colonials, Okay, colonialism.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Is that like fri jho l D kind of deal, freehole, freehold,
free suede.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Same high school that us Bruce Springsteen went to. But
this guy, Jim Gary, was a great builder. He was
in the Navy, and in the Navy he taught gymnastics
and welding. He became a master welder and he started
doing giant discarded auto parts sculpture. He had so much
(27:47):
skill with parts he could build cars that worked in bicycles,
which he rode around in the cars long before he
had a license. He figured out giant auto parts resembling
anatomical structures of insects, birds, reptiles, and bones, and he
(28:10):
used ten vehicles to create what he was famous for,
gigantic dinosaur sculptures.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Hence the soundtrack in the background that everybody can now
get that earworm out of their brain.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Sorry, I was gonna go with the beautiful dinosaur train
intro dinosaur train, not a s train, but it was
a little too lyrical. I want to hear about Miss Tyranadon,
you know. Anyway, he also had to invent a bunch
of equipment to build and move all the big giant sculptures. Cranes,
scaffolding hoists. By the early seventies, Jim Gary's twentieth century dinosaurs,
(28:49):
which appeared all over the place and appealed to all ages,
were everywhere. In nineteen seventy, what really broke it was
the the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philly had him
do an exhibition which basically said that legitimized it opened
the door to exhibitions all over. He's the first sculptor
(29:11):
ever to present a solo exhibition at the Smithsonian. Highly acclaimed.
Never heard of it. It's pretty big out there in DC.
When asked why he built the dinosaurs, he said, because
people like them. It's a great answer. I mean right.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
They've been displayed all over the world, from auto shows
to operas, to movies, to botanical gardens, a tour of Japan,
just like the Dodgers, China, China, Australia. His Stegosaurus is
probably his mas famoso, and he's a freaking awesome. Yeah.
(29:52):
For years he had they're they're they're freaking awesome. They're remarkable,
they really are. And for years he had a holiday
event where people could come and see the stuff at
his studio and he would light it up for him
and provide cookies, milk and hot chocolate. Oh and he
got too ill to do that. Seemed like just a
great guy. He did a lot of other sculpting and
art and painting and even stained glass. But just a
(30:16):
prolific artist, but really well known of course for the
dinosaur sculptures. Seemed like a great guy and the work
is really cool. Died in two thousand and six, very suddenly.
Jim Gary, Yeah, these things are cool. You're a live guy,
very easy. William Scott Gorham seventy four years old today,
(30:37):
one of the two lead guitarists for your nineteen seventies
Irish band of record.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Finn Lizzie. Are you on this Saint Patty's Day we
celebrate Finn Lizzie? Of course, are you saying very easy?
Like easy decision or light work for you? Because you're
such a fit Lizzie guy. You're such a cocaine nose. Sadly,
I'm trying to say, phil Ie not passed away a
while ago. But you know they're still keeping it going,
(31:04):
you know, and it's not this same Scott's like, you know,
we're gonna keep this going. I'm gonna find a guy
that sounds kind of like Phil and see if we
can keep this going. Zu eh needling, you know, needing
in dude stage, Yeah, you know. The Gorman is the
one who put the Thin Lizzie Band back together in
twenty ten after they broke up because of Heroin Scott
a big part of that too, But unlike the rest
(31:25):
of the band, which was born in Dublin in nineteen
sixty nine, Gorman is from right here bro Glendale Bro.
He played all over La was known around the city
as one of the best bass players. The Jester's Mud
the ill Ford Subway put out some records. He was
just eighteen years old when his reputation was out there
and was booking studio gigs. His best friend and lead
(31:48):
guitarist of the band was killed in a motorcycle crash,
and just right there he decided, as a tribute to
his friend, Steve, he was going to start playing guitar
and was going to do what he thought Steve could
always do, and that's become one of the best lead
guitar artists in the world. His brother in law, Dude
that married his sister, is drumming for Super Tramp and
convinces Scott to move to the UK and latch on
(32:10):
with them, but the other dudes didn't like him, so
he had to play. After moving from Glendale to the UK,
a bunch of pub bands.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Almost very similar right off the one thirty four.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Is like the Thames, exactly right, very similar, just one's concrete,
one's nice. When Lightout saw him thin Lizzie was falling apart,
he encouraged Gorham to try out. They loved him and
Brian Robertson, so they decided to keep him both, and
the pair came up with that unmistakable sound. Recognizing Scott
was a talented songwriter too, Gorham took on that role,
(32:42):
partnered with Lyn Not and things are going great. They're
putting out hit records, selling out great venues on their tour,
and then the Heroin got them both seventy nine, addicted,
strung out, while still pumping out songs. He wrote nearly
their entire eighty one record, Renegade, but eighty three they're
a mess, unreliable, broke up, so he does the old
studio circuit Asia super Tramp.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Oh oh now you want me?
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Huh super Tramp, thanks a lot, clean himself up In
eighty five, and then reformed Thin Lizzie in ninety six
reunion tours with Ricky Warwick taking over the vocals until
twenty twelve. He founded the spinoff Thin Lizzie band, Black
Star Writers all new material and had that roll in
until twenty twenty one, so he reformed Thin Lizzie. They
(33:25):
are putting out previously unreleased material. Keeps saying they're gonna tour,
but they have not. He just released the acoustic sessions
with original ten songs, including Whiskey and the Jar. Not
a Metallica song, folks, and it was a terrible cover.
By the way, it's not freaking terrible cover. Hell of
a live van. Then, Lizzie Mary lives in London.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
