for a Clipper Houston Rockets game. Oh it's okay to
(02:26):
have one short show. It's a whole week of four
hour shows.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
It's that Cup time in December, you know, they play
for like the NBA Show, And so there was no
games on the schedule for this week until they decided
who made the Cup who didn't. I think the Clippers
didn't make the.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Cup, right, because I don't think they made anything.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Okay, So that's why their game on Thursday is just
like a random game all of a sudden inserted into
the schedule.

Final Hour Fun Fact.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
In fact, Yeah, we're three fun fun fact.

The Final Hour Fun Fact is brought to you by
our friends at Concordia University Irvine Masters and Coaching and

we've hit a little bit of a lull. We're kind
of riding in neutral right now as far as banging
those out, But we'll get back in the holiday season. Yeah,
you Dodger run through October the holidays, So scam scam.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
A fun fact about Indiana. Since Indiana shocked the world
in the world of college football, Since Kurt Signetti and
the Hoosiers had done the impossible, stifled Ohio State's talent
with defense, the run game, and courage and an unrelenting
Italian smirk, the word hoosier became the official word that
(05:03):
defined people from Indiana in the early eighteen hundreds. First
appeared in a poem by John Finley, who was an
Indiana The Hoosier's Nest eighteen thirty three. The word also
appears in the Indianapolis Journal in eighteen thirty three, and
(05:24):
there was also a newspaper after that in eighteen thirty
three called The Hoosier.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I got confused, oh Hoosiers, because Saturday night the ACC
game was happening. There was Virginia against Duke, and Virginia
is the who's the Who's right? And I was like,
who the who's and I look at Yeah, the yahoos
is what they call the students and alumni in Charlottesville
there at the University of Virginia.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, the Hoosiers is everybody from the whole state of Indiana,
and of course Normandale.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So Matt Smith is a Hoosier.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yes, how about that. But he's identifies more with the
Chicago side of things. I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Actually, well, I identify as a donut PMS quick hits.
I make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Oh yeah, growing up down the street from the doughnut prints,
I can see what Uh it is time for the
quick aits. The Lakers are seventeen and six. They're coming
off taking two or three on the road. Lebron crowned himself,
including a twelve one, twelve to one oh eight win
over the Sixers last night. Lebron crowned himself after scoring
(06:32):
twenty nine twelve straight and the fourth What do you
mean he crowned himself. He crowned himself, He put the
crown on, he did the gesture. Yeah, he did it
a bunch of times. Uh. Luca was getting used to
being back in the States.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
He wants played the game high on folds. You know,
I feel like, you know, ar has some really good
looks tonight, but you know, he wasn't, you know, in
the rhythm that he's been in an all season. And
then I understood that, you know, traveler, traveler from a
different country back here with the newborn, you know, could
be very taxing on you, not only mentally and physically,
(07:08):
you know, and you know, shout out to him and
his family for the for the newborn. So I felt
like the opportunity kind of presenting yourself in a way
that if I felt like Margaret, two heavy hitters, you know,
kind of didn't have it or you know, needed a
little kick then or got a punch in from there.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I like that the old guy at the end of
the bench there like, hey, they needed me tonight finally,
so I'll stepped up. I scored twenty nine points. Great,
then I'm not going to play the next two games.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah, Well he missed the Boston game, so Fams fresh
Legs came out and scored. The Clippers are six and eighteen.
They're mercifully off until Thursday when they go and are
hosted by the Houston Rockets, and that would be in Houston,
which is why our show starts at two that day
on the flex alert. David Vasse coming up at seven o'clock,
(07:55):
and we had him on in the very last segment.
The Winter Meetings are happening in Orlando, where I visited
the year. I went to a place called Winter Park.
I had dinner in a place called The Ravenous Pig.
It's a really good restaurant in Orlando. The buzz is
now that the Detroit Tigers could be shopping Trek Scoubel
in a trade. Vassa pooh pooed it in the last segment.
(08:17):
He's twenty nine, he's left handed, he's entering his final
year of the rookie deal, and he's gonna get paid
a record amount next offseason. He's a generational pitcher. Tigers
reportedly are not close in the negotiations with Scoobell and
his agent, Scott Boris. Big free agents being talked about
in the Winter Meetings are outfielder Kyle Tucker, and of
(08:38):
course Vassa pointed it out as well, the guy from
Philly super swoll dh Kyle Schwarber.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I don't know how the Phillies let Schwarburg go. I
mean the guy's like the captain of the team. Him
and Bryce Harper run that clubhouse. How do you let
that guy walk? I don't see that happen. I think
he stays in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
All right, Well whatever you think, I'm sure is what
will happen, because you host Dodger talking to my Just
a beating up old guy, just.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
A guy who hangs out with Trent Rush calling games on.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
The game of all the games that gave the college
football Game of the Week forres No, Wyoming. Thanks a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
David Day's really feeling himself. I mean, yeah, a.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Couple actresses shout you out. You know you're prod of
my success. Thanks Dave. What fun of koreaan barbecue with
Blake Snell? You dork? Hello? The Rams are ten and three.
They got to win yesterday in Arizona. Head coach Sean
McVay was dealing with a flu for a few days.
It was very bad, so bad that he flew separately
(09:34):
to Phoenix. It wasn't around the team until right before
the games.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
One of those deals that you know, he talking out
friends of mine.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
It was kind of going around.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
I think our little boy gave it to gave it
to my wife first and then and then got me
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And you know.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
I feel good though it was you know, just wanted
to be able to be smart, not get give ourselves
a chance of giving it to anybody else because of
how contagious this can be.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
And hopefully I didn't.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
But you know, in passing out game balls, trying to
do the fist pump as much as.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
He cans, you realize how god of norm it is
for me.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
I'm a big hugger, and so hopefully it feel better
and you know, can get back to being normal with
these guys, because you know, I don't like this.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
He's let you know what, At least McVeigh is who
he is. He's always been that guy, and man, does
he have success. Can you just see those game balls?
Like all right, this one goes to Matthew Stafford. He
throws it over, but he runs out of the way,
just moves. The Cleveland Browns announced that Shador will be
the starting quarterback for the rest of the season. Shadoor
is on the come up. He threw for three hundred
(10:34):
and sixty or three touchdowns and ran for a touchdown
yesterday in a loss.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Did you see what happened?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Though, Yeah, they went for two and they should and
he wasn't.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Even in the game. Yeah, they went with a wildcat
formation and he had his helmet off on the sideline.
Kevin Stefanski, the head coach, What the hell you doing?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah, Tam, that's a hot take. Let's clip that and
put it up on Instagram. The hell are you doing? Coach?
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
How did you do that to Chador?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Take him off the field?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
The more you keep saying it's not gonna get on
the tape, why it's not going to keep No, it's
not I said what I was gonna say, and we're
gonna it's not gonna get None of this is going
to get on. By the way, social media mats at
the Chargers Eagles game, So none of them.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
We're not gonna get anything. We're getting videos of him.
You could put a crowd. The fallout continues from the
college football playoff. Notre Dame is very upset that they're
not in the twelve team field. Here is their ad
Pete Bavaqua, that I'd send a limo for if they
had guys in the lineup like Bavaqua. Here's Bavaqua on
a seventy earlier. Today, I think it's a different bavaqua
(11:34):
with Dan Patrick.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
Well, I would tell you I mean again, I have
tremendous respect for Miami. You know, the great team, great school,
their athletic director Dan Radakovich is a good friend, and
all the teams in the ACC, great wonderful universities. We
have no no gripes about any of the schools in
the ACC. But we were mystified by the actions of
(11:55):
the conference to attack you know, their biggest really business
partner in football and a member of their conference in
twenty four of our other sports missed. If I'll tell you, Dan,
I wouldn't be honest with you if I didn't say
that they have certainly done permanent damage to the relationship.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
God conference in Notre Dame.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
You'll never get to trust you again.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
Just we didn't appreciate the fact that we were singled
out repeatedly and compared to Miami. Not but Miami.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Miami has every right to do mist of Miami.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
But it raised a lot of eyebrows here that the
conference was taking shots at us, And now that's just
not something we chose to do. We wouldn't choose to
do that in the future. People might disagree with us,
but that's just not something that we'd be comfortable with.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
So Notre Dame to the SEC. Is that what we're
saying now.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Notre dame to nowhere. If they have their own TV deal,
they don't want to share with anybody else, and if
NBC is willing to pay them, then why should they.
USC's go to the Alimo Ball where they faced TCU
on November thirtieth in San Anton. Can't wait a rematch
of the nineteen ninety eight Sun Bowl USC versus TCU.
I know a guy that played in that game.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, I think Drew Brees played in that game, didn't No, TCU?
Oh that was the running back Tomlinson. Yeah and me,
you idiot? Oh, sorry about that.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
UCLA will introduce their new head coach tomorrow. Bob Chesney
is gonna fly back from Harrisonburg, Virginia, and then coach
James Madison University against Oregon in the first round of
college football Playoff. Agains his putzo blown off.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
They broought it. They brought him in today. They flew
him in. Martin Jarmond flew him in. They're taking him
around LA introducing him to everybody at UCLA prescofference tomorrow,
and then he's back on a plane to James Madison University.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Hey, can we get him on the Petro's Money Show. No,
they said no, said no. No time he's in and out.
That's fair. I mean he is coaching a college team
in the playoff to get their puzzo's blown off against Oregon.
All right, we'll be right back and we'll have more
college talk with Danny Canell, Petroson Money on amphi seventy
Sports on an Amlehorse Monday.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on
the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road Trip all summer
with LA Sports, Petro Some Money Show, I seventy LA Sports,
Matt Money Smith calling the Chargers Eagles Monday night football
game on our sister station, KFI AM six forty. Bob
Chesney will be introduced tomorrow as a new head coach
(14:37):
here in Southern California at UCLA. But Petros, that's not
even the big story in college football now.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
The big story is the biggest brand in college football
being snubbed from the playoff and then snubbing the company
that owns the playoff and not playing on the Pop
Tart Bowl so ESPNS could spend two weeks promoting they
had Notre Dame versus BYU joining us right now, the
(15:03):
man that introduced Marcus Freeman when he was hired by
Notre Dame. And truly one of the things that really
helped the College Football Playoffs success last year was that
Notre Dame played in four of those games. Now they're
not in it at all, after being teased every single
week ahead of Miami and then flip flopped for shame
(15:24):
at the end. Disgruntled and rightfully so is our friend
Brady Quinn from Big Noon Kickoff and Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe, heard right here on Fox Sports
Radio every morning at three am with Jonas Knox and
our friend LeVar Arrington, and he joins us now in
their Southern California Toyota Dealers celebrity hotline. Too soon. We
had him on just a couple of weeks back, but
(15:46):
this is a big story. What's crag and Brady? How
are you? Thanks for making time today?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Well, thank you for having me on. I want to
make sure I draw attention to the fact that ESPN
has decided to shine not just Notre Dame but also
b YU and one of those two teams have in common.
Well outside of having two good football teams that could
have made a case for being in the playoff, they
both promote absence before marriage, and I think it's kind
of odd that Yes Pen shun them from the playoffs,
(16:12):
yet one to highlight those two teams in a bowl
game using a pop Tart and I don't know if
that was the right sponsor. Maybe they could have made
that bull game come together, but it's unfortunate for both
those teams. Maybe throw Vandy into the mix. I'm not
sure where their stances on the absence before marriage, but
I just I find it odd that Disney hates the
values that both YU and Notre Dame really try to promote.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I wonder what Diego Povi is mom's thoughts are on
abstinence before marriage, and his brother for that matter, Alberto
or whatever. Brady, It's it's a been a rough time
for Notre Dame, and I think you understand both sides
of the argument, but Notre Dame is really pissed off
(16:55):
at ESPN and the ACC Right now, where does this
go from here other than just a lot of bad
feelings all off season?
Speaker 4 (17:02):
So in all serious this, I mean the frustration from
the Notre Dame side is the fact that they felt
like they were used as a pawn. And there'll be
a press conference tomorrow morning from an athletic director, Pete Bavoko,
who will go into more detail, but they really feel
like they were used as a pond to get TV
ratings when if the criteria was going to be Miami's
head to head over Notre Dame, it was there for
(17:23):
you the entire season. They played Week one, so you
could make the case that at no point there was
any reason to put Notre Dame ahead of Miami considering
that head to head, and that's one of the criteria
they use to compare teams. So there's frustration there in
the process and that they were assured that they were
in a good spot heading into the final ranking, and
obviously that turned out to not be the case. But
(17:45):
I think more than that, it's the fact that they're
not going to play along with ESPN and Network, who
has continually prompted up this college Football show. There's no
rhyme or reason week in and week out for why
they do what they do. And then, as much as
we want to make the comparison to Notre Dame to Miami,
I think there's a fair comparison for No Name to Alabama,
and it puts the committee in a predicament having to
(18:06):
deal with, well, what do we do with teams that
lose in the conference championship weekend? Because on average they've
moved down about two spots and Alabama is the only
team in the last three years that has lost in
a dramatic fashion. In fact, it's historically they're the only
team in that SEC history to not score a point
in the first three quarters. And they didn't move down
at all in the rankings because they know that would
(18:28):
have most likely men they would have had to push
out Miami out of the College Football playoffs, or they
would have had to figure out what to do between
those three teams. So they wanted to get Baman for
the SEC, and obviously Miami gets in over the head
to head, which is how it should be all along.
But I think it's more of the process and the
way the committee has gone about doing it the entire year.
That frustrates their fans more than anything else.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Rady.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I don't know if they asked the players or not
what they thought they should do as far as playing
in a ball game. But great, Brady Quinn's in there
and okay, and they ask you this in the locker
room and a team meeting, what would you as day.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
So we went to this scenario before, back when I
played my sophomore year tyre Lellingham got fired. We were
six and five football seat. We had the opportunity to
go play in the Insight Bowl, so let's just call
that the equivalent to the Pop Tarts Bowl. And it
was like a sixty to forty vote at our locker
room to go play in that bowl game. And I
think even though it was a fun experience, no one
took that seriously. I mean, our players did, and our
coaches did, and they were looking for jobs. And so
(19:23):
even though it's a different set of circumstances, the circumstances
now today of these exhibition bowl games when you're not
playing for a national championship, are similar in the fact
that you know you've got guys who are opting out
they're more concerned about, you know, going on to the draft,
the risk of injury. You have other players, you maybe
having an agent tell them, hey, opt out of this game.
It's not playing for a national championship. You don't want
(19:44):
to get risk getting hurt and not be able to
come back next year and earn your NIO money. I mean,
those are real conversations. Now, this is a professional sport.
If you're not playing for that ultimate championship, there's probably
no reason to really be playing at all. And I
think you had a little gas on the fire with
again the way to College flaw. Playoff co Mande handled
the rankings in particular the final one that allowed Notre
(20:05):
Dame to sit there and say, we're not going to
go along for your charade and play along with this,
and we feel like we'd rather focus on our roster,
attention the transfer portal that's coming up in the beginning
of January, and focus on the twenty twenty sixties, then
trying to win a national championship. And the last thing
I'll just say on this whole thing with Notre Dame
is it's provided clarity if they're past the game to
the playoff, now they have to go eleven to one.
(20:25):
Then that's what they have to do. You know, it's
only two years of this expanded playoff. It went ten
to two this year. I think they were going to
need some help after they lost those two games. It
felt that way based on their schedule, and that's where
we're at. Notre Dame has to go undefeated or eleven
to one in order to give themselves a chance of
being ranked high enough to go into the playoff.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
And I understand why they don't want to be used
by And that's kind of what part of this bothers
you the most. Is it? The ESPN owns the College
Football Playoff, owns the SEC owns all these bowl games,
and then they have all these guys on TV arguing
about it twenty four to seven using the Notre Dame brand,
(21:02):
And why should Notre Dame have to play along if
they're not bought in with ESPN, they're working with NBC.
That's been going on since nineteen ninety one. I mean,
is that is is this like a corporate beef?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I don't know that it's a corporate beef necessarily. I think,
you know, Notre Dame felt like the acc obviously which
is described by ESPN right they have, they have the
exclusive rights. So that same thing with the SEC, they
felt like, you know, playing the Miami Notre Dame game
on a repeat for two days straight, it's a little
bit out of the norm. And so even though Jim Phillips,
the f the commissioner for the ACC has come out
and said they didn't say anything or doing anything that
(21:38):
said Notre Dame shouldn't get in, well, you it kind
of actively actively politicked, you know, if you will, and
did something out of the norm of what you would
typically do. And so in that case, you kind of
sit there and just say, yeah, there's probably a corporate
frustration a little bit with I think the way ESPN
handled it, and even the conference in the AEC that
you're partially affiliated with and affiliated with for all your sports,
(22:01):
you know, had issues with. But I think even more
so than that, it's just you know, looking at where
where Notre names out in this point in time with
the college football playoff, they want to make it very
clear in this and by the way, this is what
was always said to me by the older players my
first got there. If you're not playing for a national championship,
you don't go to the bowl game, and so the
players voted on it. The coaches made the decision too.
(22:22):
The oldest side there is something they were not going
to play along with. And I just think it's odd
that we've got a bunch of people who are not
part of that program, not a part of that team,
trying to weigh on it, who have an invested interest
and trying to make money off of an exhibition game.
I'll keep kind of going back to that, but I
think that the thing that frustrates me personally is that
bias towards the SEC. You know, we've seen the Big
(22:43):
Ten win the national championship the last two years, and
that's really how you kind of go about, you know, grading,
He's the top of college football, and they's always seen
to get the benefits out from this estn constructed College
FOOTBA Playoff committee. And then so you get a fift
team in where I don't think Bama, the way they've played,
losing two of their lives four games and in particular
how their offenses look this year, deserves to get into
(23:05):
the playoff. If you look at their two games they
played booke nding the season, it was awful and so
I understand they played in a conference championship game and
they really want to protect those teams so they're not
penalized for it. But then what's what's the point of
playing all together? If there's no penalty at all, and
that's all upside, then it doesn't make any sense, you know,
if you're not gonna be able to punish these teams
for what they roll out there, and maybe and maybe
(23:27):
you sit there and say, well, then what worth is
the conference championship game altogether? I would say, yeah, it's
probably not worth much at this point, you know, if
you know, for some teams they win it, like Duke,
and they don't even get access into it. But that's
the whole other story. That's the ACC's issue of not
being able to figure out how to put the their
highest ranked team into their conference championship game.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Uh. One last thing, Brady, and we really appreciate you
coming through for us, like Brady Quinn always does. There's
two schools of thought here. One is, as long as
NBC is willing to be a part there with Notre Dame,
why would Notre Dame want to share revenue with anybody
else and join the conference. Then the other is, well,
(24:07):
look what happened to Notre Dame this year. Is this
a sign that they need to join a power conference?
What are your thoughts on that.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Yeah, I think they're still going to have a chance
to play for a national championship in the future. So
until that's taken away from them and everyone just boycott
scheduling Notre Dame that, I think they'll try to continue
to maintain their independence. It's deep in the fabric of
who Notre Dame is, you know. I think from a
scheduling standpoint, one of the things they love about that
is trying to have a national schedule where they have
(24:35):
touch points all across the country based on you know,
games that they're playing, where they can hit all those
different alumni networks and help fundraising. For that standpoint, so
that's not going to change. They're always going to be
who they are. And I think the interesting thing about
is a lot of people are really knocking their schedule
what their schedule looks like. I would first off say this,
they schedule sometimes out ten twelve years, so you know,
(24:56):
when they put a team on their program, you know,
if it was a decade ago, that team might have
been pretty darn good. Like last time I checked a
decade ago Michigan State, who's on the schedule next season
for Notre Dame. I'm pretty sure they're playing for the
Big Ten championship. You know, pretty sure that they actually
played in the College Football Playoff that particular year. So
it's odd people are kind of knocking some of the
(25:16):
teams that they've scheduled out, especially because they have scheduled
some big boys. But you take into account this every
single team, I want to say, like six or seven
years ago, I think for like a streak of six
or six or seven weeks, they had teams coming out
BIS Like most of these teams, regardless of what you
think they are as a program, they at least they
have two weeks to prepare. And that's just kind of
(25:37):
life being an independent in the life being a team,
trying to figure out how you're going to construct your
schedule every year as being one of the sole independents.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Great stuff, Brady, have fun wherever you are and we'll
be listening for you this week on two pros and
a cup of Joe, and congratulations on a great year,
another great year, being one of the best, if not
the best, even though we're biased, that's true talent on
the big noon kickoff show.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Thank you Brady Well, thank you, Thank you guys appcireate
you having.
Speaker 3 (26:06):

(27:57):
now Tim has, as he always does, really pumped up
about his dead guy birthday of the day. Nobody gets
more pumped up about their birthday that they've written or
researched more than Tim Kate.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, I'm fired up about this one, Petros, because I
think this is a great person of history that we
could all learn a little something about and get to
know better. Happy would have been one hundred and sixty
fourth birthday to William Durant born in Boston, grew up
in Flint, Michigan. Dropped out of high school to work
for his grandfather's lumberyard. In eighteen eighty five, at the
(28:33):
age of twenty four, he partnered to start Flint Road
Cart Company, producing horse drawn carriages. Within five years, he
had the nation's largest carriage manufacturer, producing fifty thousand carriages
a year Wow. But then something came the automobile and
he knew he had to pivot from carriages to cars.
(28:54):
So in nineteen oh four he took over a struggling
car company named Buick, and within three years William Durant
turned Buick into the nation's leading car manufacturer.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Kind of miss where the football analyst used to say
that holds so big you could drive a Buick through it.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Well, I don't say that anymore. With Buick as a base,
he and Vision.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Moore tried to relaunch Buick a while back, and so
did Peyton Manning, and it didn't work.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Did not work. He wanted to create a large, dominant
company of cars, so he founded General Motors Holding Company
in nineteen oh eight. His first purchase Old Motorworks Odesmobile.
Then he went to buy Oakland Car Company later known
as Pontiac Wow. He then next bought Cadillac. Durant not
(29:40):
only purchased automobile companies, but he also bought trucks and
parts supply companies, including ac Delco. He wanted to control
everything about making a.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Car in all that stuffs in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
William Durant was a visionary, had big ideas, but buying
all these car companies would backfire. Within two years, he
lost roll of GM to the bank. He partnered with
Luis Chevrolet and formed Chevrolet Motor Company that allowed him
to buy back GM. He fell into more financial problems though,
and sold off all of his ownership. He tried opening
(30:13):
a company under his name, Durant Motors, but the Great
Depression hits oh No, and that ended his automotive career.
During the twenties, in fact, he was a major player.
He was right there with the Rockefellers. In fact, during
the Wall Street Black Tuesday scandal phenomenon that happened, the
US government said, hey, we need a little help you
(30:33):
and Rockefellers and the rich people. We need you to
buy large quantities of stocks to show that we're okay
and that the financial market is not going to go under.
He bought a ton and lost a ton. No on Tuesday.
Although I should have trusted the government, shouldn't have trusted him.
By nineteen thirty six, he was bankrupt. By nineteen forty,
(30:54):
he had another idea bowling alleys.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Oh sweet.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
He owned one in Flint where he was living still,
and he wanted to go nationwide, but that idea didn't
work either. At the end of w W two he
predicted an economic boom and the possibilities for consumer goods
were almost limitless. He had an idea hair Tonic, didn't
pan out very well either, fell into bad health. He
(31:18):
died March nineteen forty seven, at the age of eighty five.
At the time of his death, the Durant family was bankrupt,
oh No, and had to sell off most of their
collections of paintings and other valuable assets to pay for
his medical expenses. At the end of his life, he
was married twice some stay a third time. Couldn't confirm
that had two kids. They both died. He was a
(31:39):
visionary founder of GM co founder of Chevrolet. Happy would
have been one hundred and sixty fourth to William Durant. Wow,
I mean he really got deep into that. Pretty cool, huh.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
I mean, he's the reason that a lot of that
stuff is in the Michigan area.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
His name's not on it. We don't know the name
because you know Buerg but he's the guy who pill
the voters.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Pontiac, ac Delco, Bowling Alleys, and hair Tonic. Seems like
this kind of a sliding scale.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
He was an idea guy. He was the Matt Smith
of the eighteen eighties.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
It's sure, happy birthday to Andy Pajas Cuman, champion with
the Dodgers on your Dodger station. But today we celebrate
Sir James Galway, eighty six years old today from Belfast,
Northern Ireland. Yes, but you please, to please. His father
(32:32):
was a flute player, his mother a pianist. Galway is
one of the great flute players on earth, a virtuosto floutist.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Is there a large list of don't.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Say he plays the skin flute.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I wasn't gonna say that. I was gonna say. Is
there a large list of greatest flute players of all time?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Among the flutists there is.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
His nickname is the man with the Golden flute. Say
shut up, Okay, I got it. He learned flute at
nine and joined a fife and drum corps, because where
else do you go if you're a flute guy. At eleven,
he won the Junior and Senior Belfast Flute Championship in
one day.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
That's what you're saying is there was not a lot
of older people playing the flute. Dominated both because he
was so good. And the flute is a big deal
in Ireland by the way, Oh you don't say yeah, especially.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Forty years ago, sixty years ago. It's fifty years ago.
This guy's old, still alive though. He did school at fourteen,
worked in piano repair, studied flute at the Royal College
of Music and at the Paris Conservatory and then the
Opera in London. Spent fifteen years as an orchestral guy
(33:44):
at all the blest places for cast classical music. He
was in the Berlin Philharmonic, but he fought with a
conductor and then went solo. He is regarded as the
world's best flute player.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
JUSTLICI to him did after it.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
He's in the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
It's a pretty big deal.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
He played with Roger Waters from the Pink Floyd's at
the Berlin Wall.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I've heard of them.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
In nineteen ninety he played on the Lord of the
Ring soundtrack, which won an Oscar. His songs and albums
have sold over thirty million copies. Not exactly a lightweight.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
I didn't know there was a demand for like flute music.
Like well, first of all, I got to get this
new season it's a big part.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Of orchestral music. And if somebody's a virtuo so then
it's worth listening to them play their music. As a
featured artist, they stand up right usually if you're in
the orchestra, like hey, all of a sudden, here comes
to you know song, and they bring the guy out,
you know, because he's that big of a deal, and
the orchestra just supports him. Three marriages now to an
(34:55):
American flute player that he tours with. He's a cer
now like a knight. Really yeah, that's a big deal,
Sir Galway, and that makes her a lady.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
So now this guy's his sird. Is that actually bringing
down what sir means? It's like, okay, it's not really
that big of a deal. No, it's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Flutis is a sir?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Well el Elton John's have some respect. Paul McCartney's a sirt.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Have some respect for people that have done great things
for the British empire.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Oh yeah, James Galway.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Floutist, Sir, Sir Galway, Sir James Galway. Dodger talk coming
up next with another great artist, Brian Cranston, who has
thoughts about the hot stove that he wants to share
from London.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Do you ever watch Breaking Ben? You play your own flute,
It's a simple question.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
I'll touch your own flute, work all the notes. Did
you do some finger work?
