Speaker 4: each offered six flavors. It was on first right. The
Speaker 4: cans were identical. You didn't know which of the six
Speaker 4: flavors you were going to get, and it took over
Speaker 4: Singapore for a number of years as the most popular
Speaker 4: brand of soft.

Speaker 1: it's next to and He's Still Alive. In ninety two,
Speaker 1: the Famous Producer and then the Demon Deacon the official
Speaker 1: mascot for the Wake Forest University in Winston Salem, North Carolina,
Speaker 1: following a nineteen twenty two game over Duke, a football
Speaker 1: game that the Duke was called Trinity at the time.
Speaker 1: It was a student newspaper editor, just like Steve Hartman
Speaker 1: for The Daily Bruin, that described the team as playing
Speaker 1: like Demon Deacons.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: A costume mascot appeared in nineteen forty one, representing a
Speaker 1: debonair old man often riding a motorcycle at game.
Speaker 2: It's so great old man that rides a motorcycle.
Speaker 1: The name reflects a combination of traditional religious roots and
Speaker 1: a fierce athletic demon approach.
Speaker 2: I love it to competition. It really is the best.
Speaker 1: It is central to the school traditions. The Demon Deeke
Speaker 1: love it. The Dodgers are in the lou They are
Speaker 1: a half game up on the Dads with the NL West.
Speaker 1: We're still in a panic. We have Dodgers on deck
Speaker 1: Tomorrow at four Vassayson like Matt said tonight at seven
Speaker 1: first Pitchers at five point fifteen tomorrow, em Itt shean
Speaker 1: on the Mount. Save us emmus our streets, s O
Speaker 1: S Save our streets. The Angels are struggling now. They've
Speaker 1: lost six in a row. They went oh and six
Speaker 1: on the last road trip to Kansas City and Chicago
Speaker 1: versus the Socks. They'll be home tomorrow night versus the Mats.
Speaker 1: And the word on the street is no more rats,
Speaker 1: no more.
Speaker 2: That's what they say.
Speaker 1: That concession, that one concession stand way up top is clean.
Speaker 4: It will be open. And by the way, they got
Speaker 4: swept by the Socks. I saw, you know, checking around
Speaker 4: the local rags, and I saw a headline about that
Speaker 4: fat Japanese player that the White Sox signed.
Speaker 2: That the guy can't even get his better on.
Speaker 1: He's so fat and slow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got twelve home runs. He's like the best
Speaker 4: power hitter in baseball this year. The fat guy.
Speaker 1: Leeah. I mean, I'm just tired of vast say calling
Speaker 1: people fat. Right. The Lakers are going back to Houston
Speaker 1: tomorrow for Game six. Matt talked about it in Three
Speaker 1: Things Thursday. They hold a three to two series lead.
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant has already been ruled out for Game six.
Speaker 1: The Lakers need to shoot better from three. They were
Speaker 1: combined seven for twenty seven. Jabron Lames was zero for
Speaker 1: six from three. The Lakers got all the pressure on them.
Speaker 1: Now put that kind of pressure on him. Here is
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick after the game last night.
Speaker 5: It's a little bit of game planing, Kyp. He mistakes
Speaker 5: defensively for us in that second quarter.
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta give them a lot of credit.
Speaker 5: They've made shots tonight and including some guys who you
Speaker 5: know normally don't make threes. You know, I think are
Speaker 5: in our defense. You know, do you hope ninety nine
Speaker 5: is enough to win? And we just couldn't make shots,
Speaker 5: you know, miss some layups. Certainly had some good looks
Speaker 5: from three that they didn't go down. But we'll take
Speaker 5: a look at the whole process and take a look
Speaker 5: at the substitution patterns and figure out where we can
Speaker 5: be better in game six. What is the right type
Speaker 5: of reaction to this moment? And I guess kind of
Speaker 5: how do you view your job over the next forty
Speaker 5: eight hours with your group? It's the first team to
Speaker 5: win four games in a series. We happened to have
Speaker 5: won the first three. They happened to have won the
Speaker 5: last two. We've got to be better.
Speaker 4: I don't know for certain, but I think KYP is
Speaker 4: know your personnel? Yeah, is that what he's throwing out here?
Speaker 4: One that's into engagement farming, Matt, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's KYP.
Speaker 6: A little bit of.
Speaker 5: Game plan and KYP he mistakes defensively for.
Speaker 2: A little bit of game plan. Little KP some form
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 5: A little bit of game plan and KYP know your puzzo,
Speaker 5: A little bit of game plan and KYP, pretty young thing, KYP,
Speaker 5: a little bit of game plan a YP, KYP, pretty
Speaker 5: young thing.
Speaker 1: What do you?
Speaker 2: What do you do here?
Speaker 1: What do we thank you?
Speaker 6: For?
Speaker 1: The condescending? Yes, they happened. We've got to be better.
Speaker 4: Shut up, blew that big line right before he finished,
Speaker 4: we gotta be better.
Speaker 1: The Lakers G League team is moving from El Segundo
Speaker 1: to the Desert.
Speaker 2: Finally, let's go see the damn South Bay Lakers.

Speaker 1: one to eleven is go to the Palm Springs Marriott
Speaker 1: and they held training camp down there in the eighties
Speaker 1: and had playing a spot. See what happened preseason games

Speaker 1: lot of your support in LA. Don't want you. What

Speaker 4: Away Dog Jones right there in Imperial Beach, that happy man,
Speaker 4: I made a song and save our boats on the
Speaker 4: real that thing's flyway right now.
Speaker 1: Cleveland dot COM's Instagram account shared a video yesterday longtime
Speaker 1: NFL beat writer Mary Kate Cabot saying she believes d
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson should be the brown starting quarterback this season.
Speaker 1: Shiloh Sanders, the brother of Brown's quarterback, should do a
Speaker 1: Sanders did not appreciate her take and posted a comment
Speaker 1: under the ig video saying go make a sandwich. Mary.
Speaker 1: Chilot didn't stop there, he got on the twitch. He
Speaker 1: went on video to do more about Mary Kate Cabot.
Speaker 7: And this is to Mary kay. If you're gonna be
Speaker 7: a reporter, be a reporter and report facts whenever you
Speaker 7: have your opinion, and your opinion is always something hateful
Speaker 7: to chordn it makes it seem like it's something weird,
Speaker 7: like it's an agenda that you have going on. And
Speaker 7: there's plenty of women in this field that take this
Speaker 7: serious and take reporting football serious and actually do homework
Speaker 7: and study the game and get the statistics right and
Speaker 7: get the news right. But with you, it's so much
Speaker 7: emotion that I don't want you to make women look
Speaker 7: bad when it comes to reporting because you don't have
Speaker 7: the will to actually want to report real things that
Speaker 7: are going on. So it only makes sense you want
Speaker 7: to go talk about this and that, this and that
Speaker 7: and many kim they don't even have all the receivers.
Speaker 6: How are you gonna say.
Speaker 7: Oh, this, this is what I think is gonna happen.
Speaker 7: We don't care what you think is gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Lets you do or go practice.
Speaker 1: He don't need to be.
Speaker 7: Going on Instagram and Twitter and stuff and always seeing
Speaker 7: you just badmouth. That's what I got a problem with,
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. If it's reporting, its reported,
Speaker 7: you got facts. But when it comes to your opinion,
Speaker 7: you've been saying crazy things for the past sure since
Speaker 7: he's been there. So it's like, just chill with that
Speaker 7: because it don't make no sense and it makes you
Speaker 7: look crazy, like you don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 7: And for all the women that actually take the time
Speaker 7: to go do their research and actually be real reporters
Speaker 7: and real journalists, then that's gonna make them look bad
Speaker 7: because you already know as a woman in this field
Speaker 7: of reporting football and sports like it's hard. So don't
Speaker 7: make it hard on everybody just because you don't feel.
Speaker 2: Like nobody knows better than shot.
Speaker 1: Wow, look let him cook, That's what I say. That
Speaker 1: was awesome, That was great. Yeah, it's Mary Kate Cabitt
Speaker 1: the only one saying that. The new coach with Monkin
Speaker 1: came in and said, yeah, we I'd like to give
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson to try and we pay him billions of dollars.
Speaker 4: The buzz coming out of the combine was that Monkin
Speaker 4: was really pushing to give Deshaun Watson the care of
Speaker 4: one and have him lose it.
Speaker 1: Shiloh might say a might do a video against you.
Speaker 1: And I know Shiloh had that's a budding career. Matt
Speaker 1: that guy, I mean, oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the guy that went what bankrupt? That had like
Speaker 4: what ten million bucks in liabilities and jewelry and abissts
Speaker 4: he tried to open who had no business playing power
Speaker 4: for football? And Mary Kay has been on the Browns
Speaker 4: beat I'm gonna say for probably thirty years at least.
Speaker 4: Maybe she's probably one of the longest tenured beat reporters
Speaker 4: in the NFL with a single team.
Speaker 1: Well, she don't know what she's doing though. No, it's
Speaker 1: just don't make a sandwich. She makes the other women
Speaker 1: the do day research and get the stats right. She
Speaker 1: makes them look bad. And I don't like that. And
Speaker 1: I don't like your having a look at Twitter and
Speaker 1: see how stuff.
Speaker 4: No, No, when he goes on Twitter, he wants to
Speaker 4: be doing his dance. He wants to be showing off his.
Speaker 1: Watch or moving his mouth and unspeaking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's that too, Yeah, Shiloh.
Speaker 1: Game six versus the Ducks, Shilo Ducks versus oilers. S
Speaker 1: the word means peace.
Speaker 2: I love Sanders. Go make us sandwich dogs Oilers.
Speaker 4: Oh yes, ducks, Oilers. There freaking oilers. Ducks Adam right
Speaker 4: where they wanted him. And now it's a three to
Speaker 4: two series. They win, they send the Oilers home.
Speaker 2: They lose.
Speaker 4: It goes to Game seven and Edmonton does what they
Speaker 4: typically do, rip your guts out.
Speaker 1: That that's what might happen to the Lakers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Matt, why are you so pissy? Why are you
Speaker 2: so pissy? You're answering your guy?
Speaker 5: You are whenever I ask you a question, I gave
Speaker 5: you an answer, not very good ones.
Speaker 1: He went on to say, I like reporters that do
Speaker 1: they research with the stats. Yeah, the stats correct, You
Speaker 1: get the stats, get the statistics correct.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 4: You know, his brother Shu was a pro bowler, so
Speaker 4: he certainly, you know, certainly has a case.
Speaker 1: Now, Matt, there's a college basketball story here. Uh.
Speaker 4: Streaming strikes again. Amazon has struck a deal with Duke
Speaker 4: first of its kind partnership. They will stream three Marquee
Speaker 4: men's basketball games, Duke Yukon, Duke Michigan, Duke Gonzaga. It
Speaker 4: will include extensive nil opportunities for Duke Athletics. It is
Speaker 4: part of a broader retail partnership that will be expanded
Speaker 4: and announced at a later date. I think the bad
Speaker 4: news here is streaming and places you got to pay
Speaker 4: to see sports continues to expand. The good news is
Speaker 4: bringing back pretty freaking great college basketball matchups, cross conference
Speaker 4: matchups Yukon, Michigan, Gonzaga, and Duke, which we're all four
Speaker 4: to make the regular season more relevant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they just expanded the tournament to like eighty two.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're seventy six. Now we're gonna beat one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty.
Speaker 1: Two is something nobody wants. Oliver Rue, who's seven to nine,
Speaker 1: the tallest player in college hoops and the tallest player
Speaker 1: to score a Division score in a Division one game,
Speaker 1: is going to UC Irvine next year to be an Eater.
Speaker 1: The former Florida center red shirt of the season when
Speaker 1: the Gators won the national title in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: appeared in eleven games last season. In late March, he
Speaker 1: announced that he would enter the portal in search of
Speaker 1: more playing time, and now he's headed to play for
Speaker 1: the end Eaters. Who's coach, Russ Turner is a very
Speaker 1: famous big man guru.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, we had Mama Dunjai. I think was what
Speaker 4: seven to Taco Fall of the West Taco Fall, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I think, I think, yeah, I think Enjai was like
Speaker 4: seven to six. So there you go. Re you very exciting.
Speaker 4: Go see the Eaters and get your eyes on that guy.
Speaker 1: How soon before he's at UCLA Brewing after one year
Speaker 1: at uc Irvine. That's what Nick Cronin says. Maybe he
Speaker 1: flipped Russ Turner a little bit of a little bit.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll be back with more Petrol Send Money.
Speaker 1: We'll talk some NBA and how much trouble are the
Speaker 1: Lakers in coming up next, and then Dead and Alive
Speaker 1: and then Joe Kelly with David Masse at seven.

Speaker 4: dot Com.
Speaker 1: Joining us right now to discuss all things, including the
Speaker 1: Lakers loss last night at home to Houston. Is our
Speaker 1: dear friend, the leading score in the history of UCLA
Speaker 1: and the PAC twelve. His statue stands strong above Lemon
Speaker 1: Park in beautiful Seami Valley, his hometown, the baron of
Speaker 1: Box Canyon, and the next ass he kisses will be
Speaker 1: the first in the middle of Camp McLain with CAA
Speaker 1: grooming the youth for the NBA Draft, and of course
Speaker 1: the Big Ten Network, the PAC twelve Network, FS one
Speaker 1: and Fox. On your Toyota SoCal Celebrity Hotline, it is
Speaker 1: Don McLain, our dear friend.
Speaker 6: Hello, Don, how's going guys? Well McLain at fifty six
Speaker 6: ISAs is it used to be at forty six.
Speaker 2: I've got a new move.
Speaker 6: I have a new move.
Speaker 2: What's the new move?
Speaker 6: So for the past couple of years, you know, I
Speaker 6: work out in the morning that I'm on the court
Speaker 6: forever it seems like four or five hours, and then
Speaker 6: I'd come home and steam. We have a steam shower
Speaker 6: at our house.
Speaker 1: Oh, take a steam, and then.
Speaker 6: Typically after that I would go sit outside for a
Speaker 6: little bit, probably with a beverage. And now I'm taking
Speaker 6: the liquid candies in the steam and it is magical.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a Tarantula Hill brew that we all appreciated
Speaker 1: the Thousand Oaks area. You know you're not I mean
Speaker 1: you know, I mean I know that you know your
Speaker 1: limitations there done. But but you know you're not supposed
Speaker 1: to drink in the jacuzi and all that. What if
Speaker 1: you blow yourself.
Speaker 6: Out, there's zero chance of that. I feel too good.
Speaker 2: You are more than one or is it a limit
Speaker 2: of one?
Speaker 6: No, it's just one. You know, they come into pint size.
Speaker 6: It's not a twelve ounce, it's a sixteen ounce.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So once once sufficient, it's only a it's only a
Speaker 6: twelve to fifteen minute ordeal. It's not like a sitting
Speaker 6: in there for an hour.
Speaker 1: I stretch it out to two hours maybe and dropped
Speaker 1: you know, six or seven of those.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So what happened to Don? Don was found dead naked,
Speaker 1: curled up with a bunch of empties. Well that's a
Speaker 1: great technique, dondie. Do you notice that it helps you
Speaker 1: out on the court with the young guy.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, no doubt. It's saving my season this year.
Speaker 4: I can tolerate their idiocy.
Speaker 1: Did you were you able to watch a Laker game
Speaker 1: last night? Donna james Worthy told us it was a
Speaker 1: must win for the Lakers.
Speaker 6: How about my man, Reed Shepherd? Yeah, And speaking of
Speaker 6: Camp McClean, he was here two years ago and he
Speaker 6: walks in the gym and You're like, wait a second,
Speaker 6: this kid's going to be a top five, top ten,
Speaker 6: top five pick. There's zero chance. But one thing that
Speaker 6: stood out, and it happened last night. And I've been
Speaker 6: doing this for twenty some years. His defensive hands might
Speaker 6: be the best I've ever seen in terms of stripping guys,
Speaker 6: poking balls away, blocking it from behind, getting in passing.
Speaker 6: His defensive hands are unbelievable. And for him to take
Speaker 6: it from Lebron in that situation just tells you how
Speaker 6: good they are. And so I'm happy for him because
Speaker 6: every time he plays, not only in the playoffs, in
Speaker 6: the regular season, they target him, they go after him,
Speaker 6: and last year it was bad. He's gotten a lot
Speaker 6: better this year, and I was happy for him that
Speaker 6: he had such a big effect on last night's game
Speaker 6: and win for the Rockets. That Big said, you know
Speaker 6: the Lakers, was it a must win? No, because they
Speaker 6: were up three to one. But now I think the
Speaker 6: pressure is even more on them to win. They got
Speaker 6: to win in Houston. If they don't, they have a
Speaker 6: game seven. And that's the psychology piece of this. It's
Speaker 6: that you don't go into game six thinking, Okay, well
Speaker 6: if we don't win, at least we have game seven
Speaker 6: at home. Well, the Rockets just beat you at your place.
Speaker 6: So none of these games are must wins. But they
Speaker 6: probably should win this next one. But you can't turn
Speaker 6: it over fifteen times. And you just wonder with the defense.
Speaker 6: Has it kind of been a regression to the mean
Speaker 6: for the Rockets the last two and that they're just
Speaker 6: shooting it better just because or is it the Lakers
Speaker 6: defense has dropped off a little bit after going up
Speaker 6: three to zero. I think it's probably a little bit
Speaker 6: of both. But they got to step that defense back
Speaker 6: up if they're going to close this thing out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don it's interesting to kind of just to reinsert
Speaker 4: Austin Reeves, right, he's, you know, an All Star, you
Speaker 4: certainly want him on the court. He started out the
Speaker 4: game scalding hot, and then in the second half, Guy
Speaker 4: couldn't buy a shot. He's won for nine Luke Canard
Speaker 4: gets out of his flow. Guy had twenty seven and
Speaker 4: twenty four in the first two. He had one point
Speaker 4: last night. Do you see that as being a problem
Speaker 4: for Canard going back to the bench and maybe not
Speaker 4: having the same role he had early in this series.
Speaker 4: Has he completely disappeared last night?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the tricky part, obviously, said it man. You
Speaker 6: want Austin Reeves in the game, obviously, but there's a
Speaker 6: transition there. Guys, roles change it. I'm not surprised that
Speaker 6: Luke didn't play well. You get accustomed to a role
Speaker 6: for a stretch of games and then it changes. I
Speaker 6: don't care how good you are. Most guys, that throws
Speaker 6: them off. I think though, that it's probably only a
Speaker 6: last night thing. I think that once you recalibrate and understand, Okay,
Speaker 6: now he's back, Now you know what's coming because you
Speaker 6: didn't know, Like Austin Reeves could have played the first
Speaker 6: three minutes and then been back out of the game
Speaker 6: and things could have been different. But now you know,
Speaker 6: going into game six, okay, this is the deal, and
Speaker 6: I bet you Luke bounces back and has a much
Speaker 6: better game.
Speaker 2: Who do you don who do you think is the
Speaker 2: better team?
Speaker 4: Because Game three was so weird, right, I mean like
Speaker 4: Rockets should have won, Like they absolutely should have won
Speaker 4: that game. Now they didn't, so they got to try
Speaker 4: to win four in a row. But like when you
Speaker 4: look at the teams and again, Kevin Durant's is not
Speaker 4: going to play in Game six as well, do you
Speaker 4: think the Lakers are better? Decidedly better? Are the Rockets back?
Speaker 4: What do you see out there?
Speaker 6: That's tough on man, because I think you know the
Speaker 6: same conversation that we just had about Austin Reeves being
Speaker 6: back in the lineup. How much is Houston trying to
Speaker 6: get used to playing without KD? When KD early in
Speaker 6: the series played like and I think we talked about
Speaker 6: this on the show, like I don't know what they
Speaker 6: were doing offensively, it was almost like, just give it
Speaker 6: to KD and get out of the way. Well that's gone.
Speaker 6: So does that make him worse or better? I think
Speaker 6: it might make him better. And that's no slide on
Speaker 6: KD is one of the greatest ever. But I think
Speaker 6: there's been some of that and I think maybe now
Speaker 6: Houston has settled into okay, he ain't coming back, so
Speaker 6: we got to do it, and maybe that's brought out
Speaker 6: the better in these other Houston Rockets players. So to
Speaker 6: answer the question, I'm not really sure, Like I think
Speaker 6: it's I think it's even enough that you can't really
Speaker 6: say which team's better, to be honest.
Speaker 4: And when you watch DeAndre Ayton and I can't figure
Speaker 4: it out, Like I don't know what's up with his hands.
Speaker 4: It never it seems like he can never catch an
Speaker 4: entry pass cleanly. But the guy's rolling last night, right,
Speaker 4: He's getting every putback, he's cleaning up every rebound, he's
Speaker 4: getting oh rebounds, creating second chances, and it's work and
Speaker 4: he scores like six straight points to keep him in
Speaker 4: the game. Do you keep feeding that or are you
Speaker 4: just like, you know what, let's just be happy we
Speaker 4: got that and let's go back to jack and threes
Speaker 4: because they missed all the damn threes they took. And
Speaker 4: I just don't know if you're supposed to feed him
Speaker 4: because it looks like it's not gonna work out, and
Speaker 4: somehow the ball just goes through.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think that's his personality, and I think
Speaker 6: that's been the problem. And look, he's a good player,
Speaker 6: but I think that's always been the problem with Aiden.
Speaker 6: It's like the expectations because of the physical tools and
Speaker 6: the skill and the touch that he has, Like he
Speaker 6: should be an All Star every year. Let's be honest, Like,
Speaker 6: looking at what he's been given and who he is
Speaker 6: as a player, if he had an exceptional motor, he
Speaker 6: would be an All Star every year. But he's not.
Speaker 6: And that's okay. He's still a good NBA player, But
Speaker 6: I just want wonder if that stretch he was gassed
Speaker 6: and like wasn't going to do it anymore. So, look,
Speaker 6: he's not demanded. My point is, if if he was
Speaker 6: that guy and he scored six in a row, he
Speaker 6: would he would be demanding the ball. He would be
Speaker 6: demanding it every time down there. But that's just not
Speaker 6: him and never has been.
Speaker 1: The great Don McClain is our guest, your guy, Cooper
Speaker 1: Flagg or you had last year won the Rookie of
Speaker 1: the Year. You didn't. You didn't strut that in front
Speaker 1: of everybody and kicking Dimar on his goatee. I mean
Speaker 1: that had, but that has to be pretty gratifying to
Speaker 1: see old Cooper flag. He couldn't have done it without you.
Speaker 6: Don Yes, he could have number one, no doubt. But look,
Speaker 6: he's going to be he he if he stays healthy
Speaker 6: because of his mind and his toughness in his IQ,
Speaker 6: he's going to be a great player in the league
Speaker 6: for a long time, like perennial All Star if the
Speaker 6: ever get good enough. In the conversation for MVPs like
Speaker 6: his that's the one thing that jumped off the page
Speaker 6: because he came here for three straight years. Last year
Speaker 6: was a draft, but the two years before just how
Speaker 6: his brain works and how he thinks about the game,
Speaker 6: but also just his will to succeed, like no one's
Speaker 6: going to stop him from doing what he wants to do.
Speaker 6: And there's a great story that I was told last year.
Speaker 6: I don't know if I told you guys this, but
Speaker 6: what was it two years ago or three years ago
Speaker 6: when he was on that select team that was going
Speaker 6: to play Lebron and eate Ad and all those guys
Speaker 6: in Vegas before the Olympics. Remember that. Yeah, So Nick
Speaker 6: Kerr Steve Son was like helping out with the team
Speaker 6: kind of like a manager, and Cooper was sitting on
Speaker 6: one of the chairs. It was getting ready to start.
Speaker 6: He's like putting on his shoes and Nick Kerr was
Speaker 6: said to Cooper, Hey, like, are you kind of nervous?
Speaker 6: You know, look at all these guys out there. And
Speaker 6: Cooper stopped and hesitated, looked at Nick and said, just
Speaker 6: watch the show, jeez, that's how he operates. It's a
Speaker 6: different level, man. I'm telling you.

Speaker 2: Toklas a favorite of yours.
Speaker 1: Expatriot, lesbian Polish Jew. Usually we celebrate her partner, her
Speaker 1: lesbian partner, Matt Gertrude Stein.
Speaker 2: But I don't remember an appearance.
Speaker 1: I don't remember any of this stuff about I heard
Speaker 1: She's made an appearance in Gertrude Stein's story. But she
Speaker 1: was from San Francisco and Seattle. She went to U
Speaker 1: dub back after that to the Bay Area Puto babol
Speaker 1: and after the nineteen o six San Francisco earthquake, she
Speaker 1: left the area and she moved to Paris, met the
Speaker 1: avant garde rider, her more famous counterpart, Gertrude Stein, author
Speaker 1: of Tender Buttons, which marked the beginning of a forty
Speaker 1: year relationship. They hosted a famous salon for all of
Speaker 1: the cool people in Paris twenty seven Rue des Fleur
Speaker 1: who hung out there, Ernie Hemingway, f Scott Fitzgerald and
Speaker 1: Picasso and Salvador Dali hell of the crew. During World
Speaker 1: War One, both women drove ambulances after learning from a
Speaker 1: Parisian taxi driver how to drive. And during World War Two.
Speaker 1: They're both Jewish. They're very lucky to be when the
Speaker 1: war broke out in their country. Home on the Swiss border,
Speaker 1: avoiding arrest because of their obscurity, the goodness of neighbors,
Speaker 1: and probably their American citizenship. Toklas had a gnarly mustache
Speaker 1: even though she was a chick and like manicured it.
Speaker 2: That's different times.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, she was very small. She
Speaker 1: loved sandals. Gertrude Stein died in nineteen forty six and
Speaker 1: willed most of her stuff to Toeklas, including all the picassos,
Speaker 1: and there was all kinds of Salvador Dali paintings and
Speaker 1: stuff that was priceless. But because they were Lesbionds and
Speaker 1: had no legal relationship in France, it was all seized
Speaker 1: by her relations while she was on vacation. Sadly she
Speaker 1: had to survive because of the goodness of friends. Some
Speaker 1: of her writings. She is quite famous for her weed brownies.
Speaker 1: Her cookbook very popular in the nineteen sixties. In fact,
Speaker 1: there's a Peter Sellers movie called I Love You Alice B.
Speaker 1: Toklas all about the brownies. They're prominently featured. No good
Speaker 1: weed brownie is hard to find. Her recipe is kind
Speaker 1: of like the recipe for weed brownie. Hers call for
Speaker 1: a Sativa. I'm not sure everybody wants to be that
Speaker 1: riled up, she wrote her memoirs. There's an LGBTQ democratic
Speaker 1: club in San Francisco named after her, called the Alice B.
Speaker 1: Toeklas Club Budo bay Bolt. She died in poverty in
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty seven after becoming Catholic. She is buried next
Speaker 1: to Stein in Paris. They couldn't afford a headstone for her,
Speaker 1: so they just carved her name on the back of
Speaker 1: Gertrude's headstone. Alice B. Toklas a figure of the ex
Speaker 1: patriot Renaissance of France.
Speaker 2: Well also with a mustache. Our live guy.
