Speaker 1: Greatest Game, Bobblehead Night, the game left center field.
Speaker 2: Did you.
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Show hey o Tony, the stuff of legend,
Speaker 1: god having Most people don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 2: Stuff of legend.
Speaker 1: But towering wall Hi drive right field. He's done it again.
Speaker 5: Show held Tani to the top of the pavilion in
Speaker 5: right field.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know this, but that ball
Speaker 1: killed a camera assist. Guy smoking a doobie, leaned up
Speaker 1: against an old.
Speaker 6: Dodge on a one to two terrain, strikes out, swinging,
Speaker 6: shits him down with a splitter back to that case
Speaker 6: to open the sixth and four in a row.
Speaker 2: Get it.
Speaker 1: He's up to ten. We've done this all day.
Speaker 2: Well, you know we only got one hour left the
Speaker 2: We're only gonna have one other opportunity on Otani's Greatest
Speaker 2: Game Bibblehead Night, because they're making two. One is a
Speaker 2: pitcher talk about the Lakers. I think the Lakers could
Speaker 2: win it.
Speaker 1: No, you don't, and there'll be a top story of
Speaker 1: the day all about that next.
Speaker 2: You're right about that.
Speaker 1: They're fifty one and twenty nine. They're holding onto the
Speaker 1: four spot in the oste. Two games left to play
Speaker 1: the Lakers with a winner of the Warriors. Last night,
Speaker 1: Lebron was Warrior's big lebroning out so hard with twenty
Speaker 1: six and eleven assists in the win. Here's JJ Reddick
Speaker 1: and his silly putty face post game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is the is the word I used in
Speaker 3: the locker room after the game with the guys. Got
Speaker 3: his leadership all day long, in the meeting, in the
Speaker 3: walk through this morning, just the way he carried himself.
Speaker 3: Just he he really set the tone for the team.
Speaker 3: The guys followed that. Obviously, the play was fantastic, the
Speaker 3: offensive efficiency and then the full complete game with the
Speaker 3: assists and the rebounds and the steels and blocks. Just
Speaker 3: a terrific game from him.
Speaker 2: Just wondering there, JJ, if Lebron, you know you don't
Speaker 2: have your two big stars in Austin Reeves and Luka Doncic,
Speaker 2: but of course the Warriors down as well. If if
Speaker 2: you had to, I don't know, pick one, who would
Speaker 2: you say is the best player on the Warriors right
Speaker 2: about now that you would put up against Lebron James
Speaker 2: in that contest last night. It be Brandon Pajemski, the
Speaker 2: ten day contract guy that stripped him of the ball,
Speaker 2: that guy ten gays in ten days contract guy, or
Speaker 2: maybe Andrew Wiggins I think was out there for a minute.
Speaker 2: I want to say Draymond Green had two points. You
Speaker 2: say some of those ten gays like to do ten
Speaker 2: gays and ten days.
Speaker 1: I'd like to do dis here's uh jj or Lebron. Oh,
Speaker 1: let's hear from him talking about how he has to
Speaker 1: step up with injuries to those two whites.
Speaker 7: I mean, we just had a cybritate in our mouth
Speaker 7: obviously for like the last week obviously with you know
Speaker 7: the news that we got with a R Luca and
Speaker 7: then us dropping three in a row and just.
Speaker 1: Straight row right. Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, It's just none of us wants to continue to
Speaker 7: lose and.
Speaker 1: Then we hurt for for you know, our two main guns.
Speaker 7: So you know, just mindset of just trying to figure
Speaker 7: out how we can you know, be great as a team,
Speaker 7: how we can figure out to play well, you know,
Speaker 7: in the road and try to get away something.
Speaker 2: He is good with the media, and I'm gonna yell
Speaker 2: at those fans if they say something stupid to me,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna yell at them, hey, sit up, so I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do yell at.
Speaker 1: Me when we're up twenty even though you are even
Speaker 1: the sexually charged little rabbit in Zootopia with the round
Speaker 1: ass does.
Speaker 2: Not have bigger rabbit ears than Lebron.
Speaker 1: Sit out, Relax, They're at home versus the Suns Tonight.
Speaker 1: Jazz On Sunday, Clippers are forty one and thirty nine
Speaker 1: in Portland at night for a crucial game Huge. The
Speaker 1: Blazers are going to try to blaze the Clippers like
Speaker 1: a big doobie. They have a one game lead over
Speaker 1: those Blazers and they host Golden State on Sunday in
Speaker 1: the season finale. With that one weird stiff neck guy
Speaker 1: that stripped Lebron and Braun.
Speaker 2: The ten Gays and ten Days guy doing dipth NonStop.
Speaker 1: Time to talk masters.
Speaker 2: Rory McElroy with a hell of a first two days
Speaker 2: out at Augusta. Scottie Scheffler a little bit of a
Speaker 2: step back today, John Ram hanging on by his fingernails
Speaker 2: to make the cut the three favorites. One of the
Speaker 2: more likable lads out there, Tommy Fleetwood, who got his
Speaker 2: first PGA Tour win just last year after about a
Speaker 2: decade on the tour is in the top five. I
Speaker 2: liked what he said about it too. They're like, you know,
Speaker 2: what was your inspiration?
Speaker 1: He said?
Speaker 2: You know, in this golf world you can go your
Speaker 2: own way. And the man in the black hat pee
Speaker 2: Patrick Reid also.
Speaker 1: Oh, they gave me the worst show.
Speaker 2: Also, oh, go ahead, that's in the top five.
Speaker 1: You know, some golf purists men aren't happy with old
Speaker 1: Jason Kelce running around out there farting and grabbing his
Speaker 1: nuts and Pat McAfee out there doing their thing. There's
Speaker 1: a feeling that the Masters is supposedly above this kind
Speaker 1: of grab ass and puzzo sword fighting that they're doing
Speaker 1: out there. People didn't like that ESPN coverage and they
Speaker 1: won't like what Robert McIntyre did yesterday after a quadruple
Speaker 1: bogie on the par five on the fifteenth hole, he
Speaker 1: gave the middle finger to the green. He flecked off
Speaker 1: the grass, and the grass he doesn't take the I
Speaker 1: kind of ass well, it is exquisitely manicured.
Speaker 2: Every blade is perfectly in place. Do you think do
Speaker 2: you think the rose bolt grass is snooty? Do you
Speaker 2: think Jay Stu's snooty about the Dodgers grass? What do
Speaker 2: you think this is grass? Right? You can't flip off
Speaker 2: that ground. Flip off that grass, Your ass is grass.
Speaker 2: Back across the pond with you. McIntyre, get out of here.
Speaker 1: Limey pig, you toothless troglodyte, you druid weirdo.
Speaker 2: He's just trying to impress Pat McAfee. That's what he
Speaker 2: was doing here. This will probably mean this will probably
Speaker 2: make the MacAfee show if I do this.
Speaker 1: Sawed off. During his press conference today, in a stray
Speaker 1: to promote the NFL coming there to play the game
Speaker 1: this fall, Commissioner Roger Goodell laughed at a reporter who
Speaker 1: had a small Swiss Army knife attached to his belt
Speaker 1: and said, that's not annoying. He was asked about Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan's comments about having to go all the way across
Speaker 1: the world to play a game in week one, and
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell said coaches have to focus on winning. That's
Speaker 1: their number one job. Senny is enthusiastic. It is a
Speaker 1: great football coach and also somebody who truly understands the
Speaker 1: exportant of importance of expanding our game globally. But his
Speaker 1: job is to win. I always like to say that
Speaker 1: coaches like to play at one pm and four pm.
Speaker 1: I want winners and don't get in the way of that.
Speaker 1: But I get in the way all the time because
Speaker 1: I'm Roger Goodet.
Speaker 5: No, wait a second, doesn't he prove Kyle Shanahan's point
Speaker 5: right there when he's like, you know, coaches just want
Speaker 5: to know what one o'clock and fourth, Well, you're playing
Speaker 5: on a Wednesday in Australia, that's not necessarily Sunday. Figure
Speaker 5: it out, man, figure it out.
Speaker 2: We want these criminals to stide buying into all.
Speaker 1: Pro Yeah, you want these Australian ruffians to buy some
Speaker 1: of our to buy our barbaric product and listen to
Speaker 1: great NFL insiders like Pete Shred and Diana Roussini.
Speaker 2: I want Nick Bosa a fun out rue.
Speaker 1: I want these people to be locking hands and private
Speaker 1: results in Adelaide.
Speaker 2: You didn't see the group that we were with where
Speaker 2: No I did it in Sedona? Where what group everyone
Speaker 2: was in Scottsdale at what group? That picture was misleading?
Speaker 1: It's laughable. Replace the word laughable with plausible, undeniable. Four
Speaker 1: days after it opened. There Now over two thousand players
Speaker 1: have it entered the portal. Tim Kates cares so deeply
Speaker 1: about every single one of these kids. He was like
Speaker 1: yesterday he was like, could you believe it's twelve hundred
Speaker 1: and now it's two thousand in Kates.
Speaker 2: He's like, god, brun, Yeah, I can believe it.
Speaker 1: That's an average of five and a half players per team.
Speaker 2: Am I gonna get any minutes of this year?
Speaker 1: Coach?
Speaker 2: Probably?
Speaker 1: Not?
Speaker 2: All right, call the portal.
Speaker 1: I'm going to ames. Call the portal. They said they
Speaker 1: need players, Matt. The Kings and Ducks, thanks for talking.
Speaker 2: Pot fighting for playoff spots. The Kings have caught fire.
Speaker 2: They have won three in a row. They are holding
Speaker 2: on to the final playoff spot in the West with
Speaker 2: four left. They need to win or tie each game
Speaker 2: to get points. That's what it says here. Yes, you
Speaker 2: cannot lose and get points. You must either tie or
Speaker 2: win or win an overtime to get points. And they
Speaker 2: need those points. Some people need that, explain to them, Matt.
Speaker 2: Not everybody's a puckhead. Like the Docs had a huge
Speaker 2: six to one win over the hapless Sharks last night.
Speaker 2: Three games left, need to finish strong opportunity to move
Speaker 2: up from the seventh spot in the playoff race.
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, Sam Bony. We'll be right back with
Speaker 1: the top story of the day next. This is Petrosen.
Speaker 2: Money Man Demand.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody, Petro send money on AM five seventy
Speaker 1: LA Sports Tonight you got Dodger Baseball Toddy Bobblehead Night
Speaker 1: Dodgers versus Rangers. And then we also have Clippers at
Speaker 1: Portland on AM eleven fifty for those of you interested
Speaker 1: in the Clipper garage, sighting games, getting down with the
Speaker 1: wire for the player. I think that it's a great
Speaker 1: idea to listen to both on the iHeartRadio app and
Speaker 1: also you can podcast our show on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: That's where the podcast is, or you can stream it
Speaker 1: live it love for listening, you can stream it lot.
Speaker 1: And thank you to Steve Hartman cheering the book for
Speaker 1: being in today. Appreciate that. All right, it is time
Speaker 1: for the Top story of the day, Top story of it.
Speaker 2: Well after last night the celebration the history making the
Speaker 2: Let's Leg Sports Center with a five seed, because we've
Speaker 2: never seen anything like it. I was thinking about this
Speaker 2: the Lakers ol nothing, because that has now become part
Speaker 2: of the off season, which is going to come a
Speaker 2: hell of a lot sooner than we thought for the
Speaker 2: Lakers narrative, Like Willie Wonka nothing, you get nothing, sir,
Speaker 2: They owe him nothing, not a thing. We've said it
Speaker 2: before on this show, we will say it again. Cleveland
Speaker 2: eleven seasons, two regular season MVPs, Rookie of the Year,
Speaker 2: five Finals appearances, the franchise's only championship ever, won twenty
Speaker 2: sixteen with a Finals MVP. He will be remembered ahead
Speaker 2: of anything else as a Cleveland Cavalier.
Speaker 1: Yeah, other than Jim Brown and his Koofi, it's Lebron James.
Speaker 1: Who's the King of Cleveland.
Speaker 2: He may be Jabron Lames here, but there he's Lebron James.
Speaker 2: He's got his own museum with his Draft day suit.
Speaker 1: I hate to correct and retract you.
Speaker 2: But.
Speaker 5: Corrections and.
Speaker 1: King James.
Speaker 2: Behind that his eleven years in Cleveland. He will be
Speaker 2: remembered for his four seasons in Miami.
Speaker 1: Oh. I remember when he would go get his haircut
Speaker 1: after eating some hot Cuban street food, walking around with
Speaker 1: all the little Cubanos following them around.
Speaker 2: Libron, Libron, Libron, it is. Can you stop and take it?
Speaker 2: Pacher with me? Arguably the greatest four year stretch by
Speaker 2: any player ever.
Speaker 1: Oh, I love the Heatles.
Speaker 2: Two regular season MVPs, four straight NBA Finals appearances, two
Speaker 2: championships and two finals MVPs. He is in the conversation
Speaker 2: as much as all those heat fans across the country
Speaker 2: might like to push back as the franchise's greatest player ever,
Speaker 2: a very very impactful franchise. I know there's the Roney
Speaker 2: Seychlely bunch out there, but Alonso Morning, Lonzo Morning, Eddie Jones,
Speaker 2: Tim Hardaway, a lot of a lot of the Koran
Speaker 2: Butler Lebron James is arguably even ahead of Dwayne Wade,
Speaker 2: their greatest player in the history of the franchise because
Speaker 2: of that four year run in Los Angeles. He is
Speaker 2: about to complete what we hope is his eighth and
Speaker 2: final season, but others are pushing for a ninth and
Speaker 2: even possibly a tenth. In those eight seasons, we have
Speaker 2: chronicled it, chronicled it here many times. It's a mouthful.
Speaker 2: Two missed playoff seasons, three first round exits. I believe
Speaker 2: this year will make it four. One trip to the
Speaker 2: Conference Finals, one trip to the finals, with a championship
Speaker 2: and a finals MVP in a short and seventy one
Speaker 2: game season and a Bubble playoff at Disney World.
Speaker 1: You know, I think about the wild horses, Matt the
Speaker 1: song I'm a Wood. No sweeping exits, no off stage lines,
Speaker 1: and that does not apply to lebron No. He always
Speaker 1: has a sweeping exit and then what throughout the playoffs,
Speaker 1: even though he's out, he always has off stage lines
Speaker 1: like Herry looking me over here? He is what I
Speaker 1: gotta say.
Speaker 2: Not to mention all of his proxies makers are doing
Speaker 2: the drawn thirty man. They didn't get him what he needed.
Speaker 2: They didn't give him what he needed.
Speaker 1: He finished second in v part of the conversation his ghost.
Speaker 1: He haunts the playoffs like a ghost Stephen after he's
Speaker 1: ousted your conversations.
Speaker 2: Finished second in MVP voting in twenty twenty, the year
Speaker 2: they won the Bubble Championship, and in his other seven
Speaker 2: years as a Laker, he was never in the top five,
Speaker 2: never a top five MVP vote getter in seven of
Speaker 2: his eight seasons in Los Angeles. Every single season he
Speaker 2: played in Cleveland. In Miami, he was advanced statistics here
Speaker 2: their top win share player, as in, the most valuable
Speaker 2: player on the team in Los Angeles. And you don't
Speaker 2: even need the stats to say that, right, Like everybody knows.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows, right, you can do that calculation in your head.
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, He's like he was
Speaker 1: their best prior.
Speaker 2: It's not even close. It's like, who would you possibly
Speaker 2: say was better than Lebron this any of those fifteen
Speaker 2: seasons in Cleveland or Miami. In LA, He's first team
Speaker 2: All PERP in LA. He was only the top win
Speaker 2: share player in three of his eight seasons, and three
Speaker 2: others it was Anthony Davis. This year it was Luka Doncic,
Speaker 2: and one year because he was hurt, it was freaking
Speaker 2: Montrez Harrold. That's how bad it went. One year that
Speaker 2: Lebron was here, he played just forty games, Harold played
Speaker 2: with a lot of effort. He did.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: Some say, as they are pushing what I and listen,
Speaker 2: this is going to get louder, this conversation as the Lakers,
Speaker 2: even with their three last night over Golden State and
Speaker 2: the way that that thing was framed and celebrated, this
Speaker 2: is going to get louder when they get absolutely waxed
Speaker 2: in the first round of the playoffs that he rescued
Speaker 2: this team from irrelevance. Don't ever forget what they were
Speaker 2: before he agreed to come in twenty eight That my favorite,
Speaker 2: to which I would say, what if he didn't want
Speaker 2: to come?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: I know Magic Johnson was the one that knocked on
Speaker 2: his door at nine oh one pm and that and
Speaker 2: sold him on the idea of being a Laker. It
Speaker 2: wasn't something that was orchestrated at all by Jabron Lames
Speaker 2: and his team of Clutch Sports and spring Hill Entertainment,
Speaker 2: whatever the hell else he foisted upon this franchise. But
Speaker 2: what if he didn't want to come? What if with
Speaker 2: all that money they convinced Kevin Durant to come to
Speaker 2: Los Angeles as he had wandering eyes after winning a
Speaker 2: finals for the second consecutive year in an MVP with
Speaker 2: Golden State and with his big rabbit ears, couldn't get
Speaker 2: past all the people saying that he just hopped on
Speaker 2: the Steph Curry train and coasted to a parent title.
Speaker 2: Kind of did yeah, We'll say you come on, don
Speaker 2: kde come to the Lakers. Maybe he could have knocked
Speaker 2: on his door at nine oh one pm and Magic
Speaker 2: Johnson could have put that Or what if they just
Speaker 2: sat on that cash and made a run at both
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard or Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving the following offseason.
Speaker 2: Why couldn't they have rescued the Lakers the idea of
Speaker 2: a thirty three year old Lebron flying in with his
Speaker 2: cape and Superman ass on his chest to save the Lakers.
Speaker 2: There are many other alternative paths that this franchise could
Speaker 2: have taken that could have found them. I don't know
Speaker 2: the same level of success. One title in eight years.
Speaker 1: I agree with that. And you know Tim was talking
Speaker 1: yesterday about how Mark Walter is going to modernize the
Speaker 1: Lakers and bring him up to snuff and beyond rest
Speaker 1: of the He's going to give him the Dodger treatment.
Speaker 6: I think they're going to.
Speaker 1: Probably hire a real personnel guy like the Andrew Friedman
Speaker 1: of basketball or I mean, things are going to change.
Speaker 2: Did you not know that Rob Polinka was on the
Speaker 2: Fab five? I did, and I'm that's a real basketball man.
Speaker 2: I don't know why he doesn't show up with them
Speaker 2: when they're on tour. Whenever Michigan does well, but I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't want to take up too much of the time.
Speaker 2: But all I'm saying is I think that Lebron could
Speaker 2: have ever come in and taken over and created such
Speaker 2: a fuss in Los Angeles. Like he has both positive
Speaker 2: and a lot of real negative, as is evidenced by
Speaker 2: our show. I don't think someone's got to cover the negative.
Speaker 1: I don't think if Mark Walter owned the team when
Speaker 1: Lebron showed up that that would have happened.
Speaker 2: I don't think he would have knocked on the door
Speaker 2: at nine oh one pm like logic John Now.
Speaker 1: I think Genie Buss's weakness as an owner and as
Speaker 1: a leader and empowered, unable to modernize the thing empowered
Speaker 1: what we're dealing with now.
Speaker 2: Which is not a fire. Carlos, Carlos has been here
Speaker 2: for thirty years. I don't care. I'm bringing my own people.
Speaker 2: Carlos goes. I mean, that's what showed up with Lebron,
Speaker 2: all of that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: This is DJ Super Cleveland knows, and he's coming to
Speaker 1: spinch c Hippy Records.
Speaker 2: Who's on the TV show No Get Rid of Them.
Speaker 2: Meet this lady. She's coming with me from Cleveland from Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Keeter needs a night off.
Speaker 2: The Lakers were forced. They were forced into the Anthony
Speaker 2: Davis trade the following year, three firsts, including the number
Speaker 2: four overall pick in the twenty nineteen draft. Lonzo Ball
Speaker 2: brandon ingram Heart was that the best deal for them
Speaker 2: would they have won more than one title and more
Speaker 2: than six total playoff series in these eight years, because
Speaker 2: they are not winning the first round this year. Had
Speaker 2: they instead traded for Jimmy Butler who was traded that
Speaker 2: same offseason, Paul George who was traded that same offseason,
Speaker 2: who knows. With the signing of James and the trade
Speaker 2: for ad and all of the injuries that came, it
Speaker 2: was incredibly disappointing for six of the eight years. Now,
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis did help get Luka Doncic, but we have
Speaker 2: posited our conspiracy theories there, and I don't think they
Speaker 2: were adamant that they had to go get Anthony Davis
Speaker 2: as opposed to maybe a phone call coming down saying
Speaker 2: let's move one of our most exciting players to one
Speaker 2: of our real in distress franchises and try to find
Speaker 2: some relevance here in the NBA. They owe him nothing.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm getting at.
Speaker 1: You get, you lose, and you think that it's getting
Speaker 1: down to being nut cutting time, and nut cutting time
Speaker 1: is coming a lot sooner than everybody think. We're getting
Speaker 1: this later than you think.
Speaker 2: We're getting ahead of it. Pee the petros In Money
Speaker 2: Show is getting ahead of what is to come over
Speaker 2: the next two weeks. The Broni to lebron Assist is
Speaker 2: so lame. It is so empty of any joy. It
Speaker 2: should be glorious, it should be beautiful, it should be wild.
Speaker 2: This is incredible. You've got a dad playing arguably the
Speaker 2: most athletically gifted sport in America.
Speaker 1: Instead it's icarus and dentalis. It's flying too close to
Speaker 1: the sun and dying a terrible death.
Speaker 2: There's no joy. There's no joy in watching. Think of like,
Speaker 2: what kind of an a hole do you have to
Speaker 2: be to not watch a son share a court with
Speaker 2: his father at the highest level? This guy, no, I
Speaker 2: believe it were if it were any other player and
Speaker 2: any other son that were drafted on the up and
Speaker 2: up by a team, you'd be like, hey, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I only got one example, and I know how I
Speaker 1: feel about it, so I would have to say this
Speaker 1: kind of a hole right here, the one that's pointing
Speaker 1: at himself.
Speaker 4: Me.
Speaker 2: That's how toxic this guy is. That you cannot find
Speaker 2: joy in a who overcame a medical condition. You can't
Speaker 2: find If you can't find joy in that, what does
Speaker 2: it say about the person at the center of that
Speaker 2: highlight that you see it and you're like, oh, barf,
Speaker 2: like Canot, that's cool. Man, nineteen year old kid throwing
Speaker 2: and assist to his old man who's forty one, and

Speaker 2: the Big Town, classmates and friends with Ralph Nader at
Speaker 2: Roosevelt High and Yonkers, Harvard Journalism editor of the Harvard
Speaker 2: Crimson threatened multiple times to be removed from his position.
Speaker 1: Andrea Zucker at the West Beverly High a blaze.
Speaker 2: I think she was a little more accomplished. Let's not
Speaker 2: denigrate Andrew Sucker and put her in the same category
Speaker 2: as David helperstan.
Speaker 1: You're right. Instead bought some real battles.
Speaker 2: She really did.
Speaker 1: I mean when shaw Hi showed up at West Beverley
Speaker 1: for that, Dann, what did she do? Silver Dance's ass off?
Speaker 1: And she actually she was against it at first it
Speaker 1: was Walsh.
Speaker 2: But see that's what you're pliable. I can learn tell well.
Speaker 2: Instead of landing at one of the big outlets, he
Speaker 2: started at the smallest daily newspaper in the state of Mississippi,
Speaker 2: West Point, mississippis the Daily Times Leader. His work there
Speaker 2: led him to the Tennessee and in Nashville, at the
Speaker 2: center of the civil rights movement. Assigned to cover it
Speaker 2: only journalists in the state willing to cover and report
Speaker 2: on the sit ins organized by the Nashville student movement
Speaker 2: that challenged and protested the legal segregation in place at
Speaker 2: the time, he said, I'm gonna report on this. The
Speaker 2: rest of the Tennessee newspaper, people like Waynome report on
Speaker 2: that this. David halberstand, we don't come down here.
Speaker 1: We don't want that.
Speaker 2: Greg Schiano, he uh, He did that, and that, of
Speaker 2: course got him bigger and bigger opportunities. He stirred the pot.
Speaker 2: He was dispatched as a trusted American voice in journalism
Speaker 2: by the American Embassy to Vietnam. Quickly learned he was
Speaker 2: not there a report whatever he saw and observed, but
Speaker 2: instead what he was.
Speaker 1: Told propaganda, war propaganda.
Speaker 2: Man first operation conducted by American forces against the VC
Speaker 2: while he was there was called an unequivocal victory. Halberstam
Speaker 2: said it was anything, but threw him into a room
Speaker 2: and they roughed him up a little bit, and they're like,
Speaker 2: what are you doing? Can't report that. He however, made
Speaker 2: quick friends with Lieutenant Colonel John Paul Van, the protagonist
Speaker 2: of one of the great nonfiction books ever written, A
Speaker 2: Bright Shining lie He was his primary source of everything
Speaker 2: that was going wrong with American policy and the military's
Speaker 2: approach to the war. Jfk knew Halberstam and tried to
Speaker 2: have him removed and replaced. The New York Times refused.
Speaker 2: He was a big guy. He cut an intimidating figure,
Speaker 2: and they said, either.
Speaker 1: Gale or just so big. And that's why he hasn't
Speaker 1: been high. It's just so big and strong, and he
Speaker 1: makes me feel so dainty.
Speaker 2: Halberstram was not intimidated. By the military and police officials
Speaker 2: that tried to rough up the journalists pushed back a
Speaker 2: little bit, and he was pretty much the best guy
Speaker 2: cover in the war over there. However, as he would
Speaker 2: refuse to report on the good news that all the
Speaker 2: other outlets were reporting was not good news, there was
Speaker 2: a revolt against Halberstam. Time magazine labeled him a typewriter strategist.
Speaker 2: Halberstam did not take those reports sitting down. CBS called
Speaker 2: him a defeated.
Speaker 1: I'm an a standard typewriter.
Speaker 2: To take you back, He pointed out that his most
Speaker 2: vociferous critics were flown in by the government in nom
Speaker 2: for a couple of days, conducted set up interviews at
Speaker 2: headquarters with officials, and transmitted whatever they were told. He
Speaker 2: was there for two years, sixty two to sixty four,
Speaker 2: and freaking Nam when he was twenty eight, twenty nine
Speaker 2: and thirty years old, slimming Pootho his book The Making
Speaker 2: of a Quagmire. When he got back was kind of hawkish,
Speaker 2: still supportive of the Americans' intention to defeat the Commis,
Speaker 2: but by seventy two his the best and the brightest,
Speaker 2: much less supportive of the efforts. His seventy nine book
Speaker 2: The Powers That b is considered one of the seminal
Speaker 2: works that covered everything that went wrong with the Nam War.
Speaker 2: He turned into a hell of a sports writer too.
Speaker 2: I read his book The Teammates about the nineteen forties
Speaker 2: Red Sox. That was a hell of a sports book,
Speaker 2: non fiction sports book about the teammates and going off
Speaker 2: to war and how that affected lineups, things like.
Speaker 1: That guy's dead, we need a new second base, right.
