Speaker 1: was in the MAC the minute men slipped in there
Speaker 1: in the last minute. Now we all hope that Miami
Speaker 1: of Ohio, after their big undefeated regular season, still makes
Speaker 1: the tournament. I think we can all agree on that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, come on, but did you know, Jonas that
Speaker 1: Miami of Ohio in Oxford, Ohio, not Miami, Ohio. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's actually the Miami Fan Alley named for the people,
Speaker 1: the Miami people, which are a Native American tribe. But
Speaker 1: the Miami of Ohio University is known as in the
Speaker 1: football world the Cradle of Coaches. Did you know that?
Speaker 1: No kidding? Yeah, they have a whole foundation and gigantic
Speaker 1: hall of fame of these guys that have coached there
Speaker 1: that went on to great It's a They have a
Speaker 1: creepy sculpture garden group of giant one life size coaches
Speaker 1: from the Cradle of Coaches and you go walk amongst
Speaker 1: them like a frozen zombie coach yard. There are ten statues.
Speaker 1: There's a lot more guys in the Cradle of Coaches
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame or whatever than there are statues, but
Speaker 1: there are ten statues. And amongst those ten statues are
Speaker 1: Paul Brown, Oh yeah, creator of the West Coast offense,
Speaker 1: weeb U bank Era, Parsigen, John Harbaugh, John Harba, Dad Yeah,
Speaker 1: bo Chef Beckler, Sean mcvnn Sean mcvabon. They got a

Speaker 1: You guessed it, ron Zuck. Oh, okay, hold on a second.
Speaker 2: They're gonna disrespect Illinois Florida great ron Zuck and not include.
Speaker 1: Him and all this up against Paul Brown and we
Speaker 1: you bank. Yes, I belive this. I didn't look, but
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a Wally Zerbiak statue on the
Speaker 1: campus anywhere either. You look, you look like a weird beaver.
Speaker 1: I hope they make the tournament. I hope they didn't.
Speaker 1: Was it?
Speaker 2: Look I could be totally wrong here, but was John No,
Speaker 2: John Gruden was Toledo?
Speaker 1: Right? Was he Toledo? Yeah? If he was in the
Speaker 1: Cradle of Coaches.
Speaker 2: Have a statue, yeah, I would assume it would be
Speaker 2: John ger. I just wasn't sure what the emails that
Speaker 2: came out. Maybe they were trying to shy away. Maybe
Speaker 2: they tore those down like they did during COVID. No,
Speaker 2: those emails are fine now, Okay, Yeah, I wasn't sure.
Speaker 1: Everything's okay. It's okay to be racist again. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: a great point. My wife, who knew me in college,
Speaker 1: today was the weirdest thing. She's like wasn't your nickname
Speaker 1: like the N word. I was like, yeah, yes it was.
Speaker 1: It's a different time, dear, It's time for quick hits, Toms,
Speaker 1: quick hits. I make it quick, y'all. Oh yeah, Dodgers
Speaker 1: home versus the Rats. I knew it the whole time.
Speaker 1: Tonight Tamble Back Ranch, our next Dodger game. I said,
Speaker 1: all this, it's on Saturday. Showingo Tani pitch the equivalent
Speaker 1: of four innings and a live BP. During today's WBC workout,
Speaker 1: he threw fifty nine pitches against eight batters, struck out seven,
Speaker 1: broke a couple of bats. He said, everything's going well
Speaker 1: in his pitching prep for the regular season. And he
Speaker 1: settled that that thing in Hawaii quietly, that crooked business
Speaker 1: deal he got sued for in Hawaii.
Speaker 2: What now was that, uh, the real estate endeavor or
Speaker 2: something along those lines.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know stuff in Hawaii, real estate, stuff
Speaker 1: like that in Hawaii usually goes really well. Yeah, no
Speaker 1: problems there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen to somebody who was in Maui
Speaker 2: last summer.
Speaker 1: I can tell you, oh, yeah, for sure, you know
Speaker 1: everything about it. Still got a long ways to go.
Speaker 1: Take you over to dollies. Everything's going great here in
Speaker 1: lower Hono Piolani Highway. In his first public comment since
Speaker 1: the Ravens, can you get a bottle of Malibu? No,
Speaker 1: the half bottle the Ravens nixt to trade that would
Speaker 1: have sent Max Crosby to Baltimore, he re expressed recommitted
Speaker 1: to the Raiders like a like a recommitments ceremony, that
Speaker 1: people have Everything happens for a reason, Crosby wrote in
Speaker 1: a post on X with the Undertaker, believe it, believe
Speaker 1: nothing you hear, and half of what you see. I'm
Speaker 1: a raid run back that ass. Yeah, Crosby.
Speaker 2: By the way, we had a great race trade on
Speaker 2: the show. LeVar and I and Brady Quinn to where
Speaker 2: he traded us Miles Garrett and we got we traded
Speaker 2: him Max Crosby where I'm.
Speaker 1: Not Black, Well, I'm just like what if I was,
Speaker 1: I'd have problem with LeVar being my GM. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm just like, you know, like, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I need LeVar trading away Miles Garrett. I mean Brady,
Speaker 1: I don't care if he lied about what Rudolph said
Speaker 1: to him.
Speaker 2: Brady and I also traded him Babe, Ruth and we
Speaker 2: got back Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: So I feel like there's a a team even.
Speaker 2: Swap right there. You know, we didn't we didn't go
Speaker 2: back on that trade. Everybody to keep Mahomes.
Speaker 1: Why not? He's black. The Lakers are forty to twenty five.
Speaker 1: They've won three in a row. They not Tiger Woods
Speaker 1: is one thing way to go shafter. The Clippers are
Speaker 1: thirty three and thirty two. They're at home versus the
Speaker 1: Bols tomorrow night. They're the first team in NBA history
Speaker 1: to move above five hundred starting the season off fifteen
Speaker 1: games or more under five hundred. Here is their thick
Speaker 1: necked coach, tylou No.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it, but I mean, I'm just proud of
Speaker 4: our whole coaching staff and our players, just not you know,
Speaker 4: just me.
Speaker 1: I try to set the mood.
Speaker 4: I try to set the environment, you know, to make
Speaker 4: sure everyone's comfortable, everyone's enjoying it. And when you six
Speaker 4: and twenty one, it's kind of hard to enjoy. But
Speaker 4: our guys were still in it, you know, Zoo, you
Speaker 4: know James, you know Kawhi went to another level, and
Speaker 4: you know we never gave in, you know, and so
Speaker 4: KD DJ getting healthy, JC planned better, you know. So
Speaker 4: it was it was all the guys in the locker room.
Speaker 4: And like I said, it wasn't just me, as our
Speaker 4: coaching staff. They've been great, you know, all season long
Speaker 4: to hang in, you know, and we're not done yet,
Speaker 4: you know, but we have had had a long climb
Speaker 4: and we still have seventeen games ago. But I'm very
Speaker 4: proud of our group. I'm very you know, proud of
Speaker 4: our coaching staff, very very proud of the front office.
Speaker 1: You know, some of the moves.
Speaker 4: They made, and you know, people talked about, you know,
Speaker 4: it was you know, kind of crazy, but just you know,
Speaker 4: staying the course. You know, most teams, if gotta started
Speaker 4: six and twenty one, it could have been some instant change,
Speaker 4: you know. But the you know, front office, like I said,
Speaker 4: l Frank, Trent Mark, you know, mister Obama just stayed
Speaker 4: the course to have full belief in our staff, and
Speaker 4: you know, we just kept plugging away. And so here
Speaker 4: we are now. You know, we got to continue to
Speaker 4: keep playing well, but we're going in the right direction.
Speaker 1: UCLA plas Rutgers in Chicago right now. We're counter programming.
Speaker 1: Somebody thought we carried this game third round game tournament.
Speaker 1: If they could beat the Scarlet Knights also known as
Speaker 1: the Scarlet Knicks, they will get tom Izo with Michigan
Speaker 1: State tomorrow. Good luck to those Scarlet Nicks and the
Speaker 1: Bruins and the College Basketball Invitational. Jonas, this is your favorite.
Speaker 2: Oh, I love it man. Nothing better than a sixteen
Speaker 2: team postseason event for teams missing the NCAAA and NIT
Speaker 2: and announced on Thursday, will skip twenty twenty six. Unfortunately
Speaker 2: due to circumstances beyond the control it faced, thinning participation
Speaker 2: from transfer portal chaos, NI changes favoring power leagues, and
Speaker 2: a new Las Vegas rival with nil incentives, or it
Speaker 2: just kind of sucked.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe there's that that's not as important as you know,
Speaker 1: getting some money out of some TV network to air
Speaker 1: the damn thing. All right, those are your quick kits.
Speaker 1: The one and only Jonas Knock say here what the
Speaker 1: most is? Here all the way until seven o'clock and
Speaker 1: he will be back tomorrow for more racial draft. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean there's certain guys you just can't have. Why not, dude,
Speaker 1: we give a babe, Ruth. It's a fair swap. It's
Speaker 1: too Look, I don't I don't get into this very much.
Speaker 1: But if we're really gonna to discuss it, the black
Speaker 1: quarterback thing is too sensitive of a topic to take
Speaker 1: away mahomes from the Blacks. You can't take my home
Speaker 1: from the blacks. He's a black quarterback and say what,
Speaker 1: here's Doug Williams. He doesn't work. No, no, you wouldn't
Speaker 1: go there. Jalen hurts an over glorified running back Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: You can have them. Actually they gave him back. I
Speaker 1: can't do that. They put him and floated him down
Speaker 1: the Nile like like baby Mosey. What airs they sent
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson away. God, we'll be back with more Great
Speaker 1: Sports Dot coming up next to petrosen Mondy with Jonas
Speaker 1: Knock Great Sports Talk. Petros Papadakis that money, SMI, this
Speaker 1: is Petro send money on demand cracking. Everybody, welcome back.
Speaker 1: It's Petroson money on M five seventy LA Sports. It's
Speaker 1: a crunchy groove on Thursday. And who doesn't want to
Speaker 1: groove crunchier than us? Nobody but here from Chicago right
Speaker 1: now are b FF. The one and only Don McClain
Speaker 1: working for the Big Ten Network calling the Big Ten
Speaker 1: Basketball tournament. Here he is the leading scorer in the
Speaker 1: history of the Pac twelve, the best of the best.
Speaker 1: His statues stands strong and beautiful Lemon Park over his
Speaker 1: hometown of Seam Valley, California. The next ass he kisses
Speaker 1: will be the first yet. He still works for FS one,
Speaker 1: the Big Ten Network CIA and right here on seventy
Speaker 1: LA Sports. It's one of our few compensated weekly guests.
Speaker 1: In fact, our only compensated weekly guest. Jonas, Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you're being compensated for being here a guest hosting.
Speaker 1: I'm the five seventy side, like Marilyn Monroe to the
Speaker 1: Kennedy Boys, it is Don McClain, Hi, Don, how are
Speaker 1: you too?
Speaker 3: Good? Guys? Just getting ready quick turn around tomorrow again
Speaker 3: and uh yeah, the big boys come in tomorrow, so
Speaker 3: getting ready for that.
Speaker 1: Are you having fun at the tournament? Is it enjoyable?
Speaker 1: Is it hectic? Are the Big ten guys being cool?
Speaker 1: Are you having fun in Chicago? Or or is it
Speaker 1: a slog? How do you feel doob?
Speaker 3: No? No, it's good and working with Lebyrn's great. I
Speaker 3: didn't get a chance to do any games with him
Speaker 3: this year in the regular season last year I did.
Speaker 3: But we picked up right where we left off, although
Speaker 3: I should have alerted him that I was going to
Speaker 3: make a joke about being the all time leading scorer,
Speaker 3: because he had no idea, so that joke went right
Speaker 3: over his head during the game, but hopefully no one
Speaker 3: else caught that. But no, it's good. It's it's it's
Speaker 3: it's fun, and when you get good games, it's really fun.
Speaker 3: We had two good games today.
Speaker 1: How sad is it for USC? I mean, the way
Speaker 1: they started the year winning the Maui Invitation all that's
Speaker 1: I mean, most of the time you win that, nobody
Speaker 1: usually collapses in the way that us he did, not
Speaker 1: making the tournament? How bad is that for Eric Musselman?
Speaker 1: How concerning for USC basketball, which seems to have some
Speaker 1: momentum as far as signing players, and they have a
Speaker 1: good arena and you're there a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the thing, pee And look, Eric Musselman's track
Speaker 3: record tells you he's a good coach, So it's not
Speaker 3: like he's some new coach trying to figure it out
Speaker 3: and the jury is still out, like he can coach.
Speaker 3: But I will say, what's starting to crystallize a little
Speaker 3: bit here, at least for me, is that if you're
Speaker 3: going to play the portal game and you're going to
Speaker 3: bring in eight nine new players a year, it's going
Speaker 3: to be tough, and especially when you bring in guys
Speaker 3: with some questionable reputations like Baker Mazara, and you know,
Speaker 3: he was a big problem for them, and so they
Speaker 3: let him go right before the end of the regular season.
Speaker 3: But this is what happens when you play that game.
Speaker 3: It's you don't know because the portal is so fast.
Speaker 3: All the coaches will tell you it's like speed dating,
Speaker 3: and so you don't really get to know these kids.
Speaker 3: You don't bring them on campus, they don't have a
Speaker 3: weekend long visit, and so you're just taking them based
Speaker 3: on the fact that they're older and they have good
Speaker 3: numbers in their career, and you figure that's going to
Speaker 3: be enough. And sometimes it is for certain players. But
Speaker 3: sometimes when you're bringing in that many, there might be
Speaker 3: a couple that kind of undermine your season. And I
Speaker 3: think if you continue to do that, it's going to
Speaker 3: be a problem at some point. Because se was solidly
Speaker 3: an NCAA tournament team for a long time during the
Speaker 3: season and then they lost eight in a row to
Speaker 3: finish the year.
Speaker 2: Don Now that you've been had a chance to do
Speaker 2: Big Ten basketball and be out there at the tournament
Speaker 2: for a couple of years, now, what's been the big
Speaker 2: difference for you and the big separation between that and
Speaker 2: all those years with the Pact line.
Speaker 3: It's just bigger Jonas and you can seal it. It
Speaker 3: just all the teams come in and they have fans.
Speaker 3: You know, it used to be in the old Pac twelve,
Speaker 3: like Arizona would travel believe it or not, Utah traveled
Speaker 3: pretty well to Vegas for the tournament, but that was
Speaker 3: pretty much it UCLA kind of but here. I mean,
Speaker 3: this place is full for every every game with every
Speaker 3: team seemingly even if they're not having a great year.
Speaker 3: But it's just I didn't rich a great question because
Speaker 3: I had the conversation yesterday with somebody at the Big Ten, Like,
Speaker 3: I never really looked at the Pac twelve as anything
Speaker 3: other than a high major, and it was considered by
Speaker 3: everyone to be a high major, but it wasn't anywhere
Speaker 3: close to what this is, what the Big Ten is.
Speaker 3: It's really not or really was it. I should say, what.
Speaker 1: About all those late nights. I spentned Pullman don What
Speaker 1: does that mean? Nothing? Yeah, basically is the Big ten
Speaker 1: gonna get like ten teams in.
Speaker 3: They're gonna get nine in. Indiana was on the bubble
Speaker 3: coming in and lost to Northwestern last night, so that
Speaker 3: probably knocked them out. But yeah, they're solidly nine in
Speaker 3: right now. I mean that's kind of the consensus. Ohio
Speaker 3: State one today. They were a ten seed coming into today,
Speaker 3: so they kind of solidified it. But they were really
Speaker 3: the only one that was somewhat in question. And since
Speaker 3: they won today, I think you'll you'll easily get nine
Speaker 3: teams in on Sunday.
Speaker 2: I wanted this is not Big ten, it's Mac related,
Speaker 2: but it's pertinent because for some reason this has turned
Speaker 2: into a storyline to where there's some thought that maybe
Speaker 2: Miami of Ohio shouldn't get into the tournament.
Speaker 1: They lost in UMass.
Speaker 2: They're now thirty one and one on the season per
Speaker 2: regular season perfect, but they lose in their first game
Speaker 2: with the Mac. Turney, where do you stand on that?
Speaker 2: That just that feels like we're trying to manipulate storylines
Speaker 2: to have something to talk about, and how dare it
Speaker 2: just doesn't it doesn't feel like it's even a realistic
Speaker 2: possibility they wouldn't get in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was saying, because I thought they were going
Speaker 3: to run the table and be undefeated, that there's no
Speaker 3: way that you can leave an undefeated team out of
Speaker 3: the NCAA tournament. And unfortunately they just don't have They
Speaker 3: don't have anything to compare it to because they haven't
Speaker 3: played like a Big ten team, and so everybody wants
Speaker 3: to pile on that they've piled up this record, But
Speaker 3: my stance was, I don't care. Does my thought change
Speaker 3: because they lost today, I think a little bit, and
Speaker 3: whether that's fair or not, I think, you know, if
Speaker 3: you haven't played anybody, but you're undefeated, okay, but then
Speaker 3: you get tripped up by a UMass team, that kind
Speaker 3: of gives all the naysayers what they needed to keep
Speaker 3: you out. So I don't know what's going to happen Sunday.
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be fascinating because as much
Speaker 3: as this thing is analytics driven now, the selection Sunday
Speaker 3: and they have all this stuff in front of them,
Speaker 3: it's still humans making the selections, and it's subjective, and
Speaker 3: so it's going to be interesting to see who falls
Speaker 3: on the metrics driven decision or the I don't know
Speaker 3: human sense of whether they should be in or not.
Speaker 3: I would guess that they're going to get in just
Speaker 3: because it's been such a big story. I think that
Speaker 3: will help them get in. But we'll see.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, U mass has Marcus Cambian. That
Speaker 1: Puerto Rican guy Tom McLean is our guest. We're always
Speaker 1: happy to have him.
Speaker 3: Wait, he petitioned the court.
Speaker 1: Campy's back and Caliperry left Arkansas a coach. Real quick,
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about Michigan down before, because
Speaker 1: we all know what Dae Marrow. We know there's so
Speaker 1: many Euros throughout the Big Ten and these guys, but
Speaker 1: not only is Michigan the by far the best in
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, which is a great conference, maybe the best,
Speaker 1: but how much better are they than everybody else in
Speaker 1: college basketball? Is this gonna be one of those weird
Speaker 1: years like Yukon a couple of years back.
Speaker 3: I don't think so, just because they lost to Duke
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago, and I think you know
Speaker 3: that proved that they can be beat. Obviously, Wisconsin beat
Speaker 3: them earlier in the year on their home floor, but
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to be that easy. I
Speaker 3: still think, and I said it today during one of
Speaker 3: my games, that I still think they're the best team
Speaker 3: in the country. A lot of people think Duke is
Speaker 3: now just because they beat Michigan, But I think once
Speaker 3: you get into the tournament, the game changes, It slows down,
Speaker 3: matchups become more of a thing, and I just think
Speaker 3: when Michigan can go big and play smaller, you can
Speaker 3: handle anything that's thrown your way. And I think that'll materialize.
Speaker 3: But I don't think what I don't think what you're
Speaker 3: saying is going to happen with like what Yukon did,
Speaker 3: just rolled through the whole thing. I do think they
Speaker 3: have the best chance to win it all, but I
Speaker 3: don't think it's going to be like their steamroll and
Speaker 3: everybody on the way to it.
Speaker 2: How do you explain the turnaround with the Clippers transitioning
Speaker 2: to the NBA in what whether there were six and
Speaker 2: twenty one to start out the year, they've traded away
Speaker 2: two of their three best players, and then here they
Speaker 2: are first time over five hundred.
Speaker 1: What happened.
Speaker 3: That's a great question, and it doesn't seem like it
Speaker 3: can't be just that Chris Paul got let go from
Speaker 3: the team. It can't be. I know it's a coincidence,
Speaker 3: but there's no way. So there had to be some
Speaker 3: sort of meeting. Come together. Look, guys, we are far
Speaker 3: underachieving here right now and we need to get it together.
Speaker 3: And that happens. It's a long season in the NBA
Speaker 3: and you're not playing well. Sometimes you just need like
Speaker 3: a player's only meeting or something like that to get
Speaker 3: you back going. But it is hard to explain, especially
Speaker 3: after they got rid of Harden. But you know, what's
Speaker 3: it all worth? I mean, you know, they're clearly once
Speaker 3: they got rid of Zoobots and Harden, they're clearly looking
Speaker 3: to the future. So it's great that they're above five hundred.
Speaker 3: But what does it really mean.
Speaker 1: I don't know, not much. I guess what about the
Speaker 1: Lakers playing all great without Lebron? I mean, it seems
Speaker 1: like these guys, I mean, the way the season started.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to hate on Lebron, but the way
Speaker 1: the season started with Reeves and Luca running around and
Speaker 1: the way they look in the last few games, is
Speaker 1: there a correlation there?
Speaker 3: Don I don't know I've been watched enough to be honest.
Speaker 3: What I do know is similar to my sentiment with
Speaker 3: the Clippers is until they get better defensively. Yeah, they're
Speaker 3: a good team. Yeah they're going to make the playoffs,
Speaker 3: But are we really talking about a team that contend. No,
Speaker 3: until that defense gets better, Until that defense gets better,
Speaker 3: more consistent.
Speaker 1: Don, you're the best. Have fun in Chicago to night,
Speaker 1: and protect your neck out there in the Windy City.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you.
Speaker 3: I got it, I got neck and back protected, got.
Speaker 1: It, my neck, my back, my neck and my back. Oh, Don,
Speaker 1: aren't you excited that that little dork manager for McNee
Speaker 1: state that holds the speaker is going to come back
Speaker 1: to the tournament this year? At pointing it as well?
Speaker 1: Was he really?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'm here?
Speaker 3: Aura con Oh really yeah?
Speaker 1: I remember that guy?
Speaker 3: That guy Yeah yeah, yeah. Hopefully hopefully McNeice runs into
Speaker 3: a Big ten team.
Speaker 1: Oh, stop out his poor speaker. All right, we love you, Don,
Speaker 1: There he goes Don McLain. Everybody the latest from the
Speaker 1: Big Ten Tournament. The Clippers and the Lakers are basketball hero.
Speaker 1: We love Don McClain. But we'll wrap it up with
Speaker 1: Jonas Knox and get you to David Vasse live from
Speaker 1: Camelback Ranch at Dodger Spring Training in our final segment.

Speaker 1: We'll be back, so everybody's very excited about that. One
Speaker 1: more day? Can you do it? One more day till revolution?
Speaker 2: Now, I had a good authority that you were trying
Speaker 2: to get Steve Hartman, but he was already gobbled up
Speaker 2: in high demand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's that's so I wasn't sure if I
Speaker 1: asked for Hartman, and then I asked for Vassy from
Speaker 1: Cammelback Ranch. George Reister han a Sierra Canyon event. So
Speaker 1: that's a real bottom of the barrel stuff. He'll be
Speaker 1: on tomorrow morning two pros and a cup and Joe
Speaker 1: and we will look forward to hearing that at three am,
Speaker 1: and then he'll be back back here. We'll be back

Speaker 1: post the playlist. We can't all be friends outside of work.
Speaker 1: One hundred and nine years old today would be Leonard
Speaker 1: Chess born Leonard c y c z Yz Polish Jewish guys,
Speaker 1: so they changed it. Parents are from Belarus and they
Speaker 1: emigrated in the early twentieth century like so many other
Speaker 1: The dad worked for al Capone's mom during Prohibition, so
Speaker 1: they were in Chicago, but him and his brother Phil
Speaker 1: not involved in any kind of underworld organized crime. Him
Speaker 1: and his brother Phil became involved in the nightclub scene
Speaker 1: in Chicago's South Side, Jonas running jazz clubs, culminating in
Speaker 1: the legendary Macomba Lounge, which is very famous in its
Speaker 1: time for jazz and blues and jazz and blues artists
Speaker 1: like the one we're hearing right now. Can you recognize
Speaker 1: this guy? Turn it up? Oh yeah, this is like
Speaker 1: a defensive end with a harmonica.
Speaker 2: Howland Wolf, I've heard I've actually heard this leaving Midway
Speaker 2: Airport in the summertime when the windows are downmost Jack
Speaker 2: Jay cab driver on the South Side and listening to this.
Speaker 1: They took control of a record company called Aristocrat Records,
Speaker 1: and they soon took over and changed their name to
Speaker 1: Chess Records and moved the company to pop and jazz
Speaker 1: and blues. Leonard was a bass player and even played
Speaker 1: a couple of Muddy Waters tracks bass on the track.
Speaker 1: Now the music these guys produced very very important music,
Speaker 1: Howl and Wolf. But we're listening to here, Bo Didley,
Speaker 1: Willie Dixon, Sonny Boy Williamson, Buddy Guy all right, John
Speaker 1: Lee Hooker. They also founded Checker Records, and that was
Speaker 1: for you know, the white acts. I just kidding out,
Speaker 1: who were on everything. Actually on Checker Records, they had
Speaker 1: Little Milton. He's definitely not white. Now, was it little
Speaker 1: or L? I L Little? Oh good? But I think
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the LITL was just implied back then.
Speaker 1: I would write it out. He was instrumental in showing
Speaker 1: the real American music to real American people. Chicago blues,
Speaker 1: electric blues, rock, en roll, R and B and soul. Sadly,
Speaker 1: Chess died of a heart attack. His son became the president,
Speaker 1: and his grandson, jamar Chess, has become really wealthy. He
Speaker 1: owns a publishing firm which owns a grip of rights
Speaker 1: like a lot. They owned Marvin Gays rights, the hell
Speaker 1: of a receiver for the Bengals too. Jamar Chess, Yeah, absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's dynamite him and Burrow that. You know, they got
Speaker 1: to stay healthy. He owns Otis Redding's rights. You know,
Speaker 1: he wouldn't think he'd go out there put himself in
Speaker 1: risk running the running the dagger rat. But there he
Speaker 1: is out there doing it. But jamar Chess also helped
Speaker 1: create the Rolling Stones lips logo. Oh no kidding, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be now, how did he help create that's? Hey?
Speaker 1: Why don't you make the tongues together? You think it
Speaker 1: was just one guy, but no, no, no, make the tongue,
Speaker 1: make the inside of the mouth black. I don't know
Speaker 1: that's what it said though. But his grandfather a great legacy,
Speaker 1: Leonard Chess, a blue superstar. If you want to look
Speaker 1: this up here, turn that out, come old howl and
Speaker 1: book live and he's good and there's just like two
Speaker 1: thousand British people with their mouths again, watching like a
Speaker 1: six foot five sweat and black dude. We gotta get it,
Speaker 1: singing smokestack like this. We gotta get them on our
Speaker 1: soccer team. Get one of these blos to play the way.
Speaker 1: Pat that's good. That's good. Petro's you're a live guy
Speaker 1: for today now Unlike unlike others, Jonas insists on riding
Speaker 1: his own a live guy. I believe you deserve that
Speaker 1: distinction because sometimes, you know, we like to mismatch people
Speaker 1: because if we have to write it for him, like
Speaker 1: we have Don McClain last week, but he wrote be
Speaker 1: a founder of SPANX. This young young lady came up
Speaker 1: with a very very innovative style of laingring. And then
Speaker 1: yesterday we gave George Reister Lisa Lowe. Oh no, And
Speaker 1: I showed him a picture of Lisa lowan r G
Speaker 1: string and he said, she got to put that thing away.
Speaker 1: She ever glasses on too. Oh that's great. I hear
Speaker 1: what I want to.
Speaker 2: So Petro's beating out Steve Finley and Raoul Mondsey and
Speaker 2: another baseball legend. I present to you, Darryl Eugene Strawberry
Speaker 2: Senior born on this day, nineteen sixty two to Henry
Speaker 2: and Ruby Strawberry right here in Los Angeles, California. He
Speaker 2: played high school baseball for Crenshaw for the Cougars, he
Speaker 2: signed a letter of intent with Oklahoma State. However, a
Speaker 2: couple of months later, Strawberry first overall pick in the
Speaker 2: amateur drafts.
Speaker 1: He signed with the Mets in July nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2: His older brother Michael Strawberry also selected in that draft,
Speaker 2: going to the Dodgers, actually in the thirty first round.
Speaker 1: So everybody knows Strawberry early on.
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year, was part of that Mets World
Speaker 2: Series team, had a hell of a run early on.
Speaker 2: Actually went from eighty three to ninety with the Mets,
Speaker 2: and then he spent three years right here with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: He signed a five year, twenty two million dollar deal
Speaker 2: back in late nineteen ninety, but he was released a
Speaker 2: couple of years later by the Dodgers. I just didn't
Speaker 2: show up to a game, Dad, just seeing I'm just
Speaker 2: not going to be here anymore. Bounced around least just late, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, at least Zach Graank. He tried to fight him.
Speaker 2: You know, there was that, Yeah, get the hell out
Speaker 2: of here. You go gamble on your own time. So
Speaker 2: Darryl Strawberry bounced around. Who won two more World Series
Speaker 2: with the Yankees before calling it a career. U. Now,
Speaker 2: before we get into the fun stuff, all right, should
Speaker 2: be pointed out Darryl Strawberry is a cancer survivor.
Speaker 1: Yes he is. He is a born again Christian. Have
Speaker 1: you ever met Daryl Strawberry. No, He's really one of
Speaker 1: the nicest people I've ever seen around. And I'm I've
Speaker 1: spent a little bit of time with him and he's
Speaker 1: such a great guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, you know, he's just really turned his
Speaker 2: life around.
Speaker 1: But Darryl had a run. There was There was a
Speaker 1: lot on the plate for Darryl Strawberry. Now a lot
Speaker 1: on the coffee table. Well.
Speaker 2: So when you think baseball, if I were to give
Speaker 2: you like most famous bat brands, you'd think what Louisville
Speaker 2: Slugger Easton. Darryl's favorite was the skin bat. Because Darryl
Speaker 2: described himself as having a sex addiction. After retirement, he
Speaker 2: admitted to routinely having sex between innings.
Speaker 1: Is that allowed at the World Baseball Classic between you,
Speaker 1: he would have got there thirty four to thirty two
Speaker 1: on Darryl. Darryl put the ship, she's over there. Darryl
Speaker 1: put to shame in the torpedo bat. Because he was
Speaker 1: getting some work in.
Speaker 2: He routinely had sex, admittedly between innings of MLB games
Speaker 2: in which he played that. According to Darryl strawbreit stop
Speaker 2: like you.
Speaker 1: Gotta get it done. You gotta get it done.
Speaker 2: And then you know you had your run of the mill,
Speaker 2: you know, tax conspiracy, tax evasion.
Speaker 1: He got popped for that.
Speaker 2: He was also charged with failing to make child support
Speaker 2: payments back in nineteen ninety six. He also, you know,
Speaker 2: didn't pay back some legal fees to your guy Robert Shapiro. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he owed him about one hundred thousand dollars in legal
Speaker 2: fees because apparently Shapiro represented him in his contract negotiation
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers, which I didn't know. He also was
Speaker 2: arrested in Tampa, Florida for soliciting sex from a policewoman
Speaker 2: posing as a prostitute, having a small amount of cocaine.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, if the costume's good, what's he supposed
Speaker 2: to do? You know, like not honor and respect the
Speaker 2: effort that she put into making the costume happen at
Speaker 2: that point, at that moment, you know, maybe had a
Speaker 2: little bit of booger show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is what it is me.
Speaker 2: Also, you know, was driving to see his probation officer
Speaker 2: in two thousand, he was taking painkillers. It was just
Speaker 2: kind of a wild ride for Darryl Strawberry. He spent
Speaker 2: time in and out of jail. In September two thousand
Speaker 2: and five, was charged with filing a false police report
Speaker 2: after he claimed his SUV was stolen. He admitted that
Speaker 2: he had lied on the report, but was not arrested
Speaker 2: because it was a misdemeanor. All that to be said, yes,
Speaker 2: he did turn his life around, born again Christian. From
Speaker 2: everything I've heard, like you've said, really good dude. But
Speaker 2: Darryl Strawberry, Happy birthday. Also, in looking up highlights from
Speaker 2: Strawberry when he was with the Dodgers, awesome and.
Speaker 1: It was fun. And I was trying to find the
Speaker 1: Crenshaw well.
Speaker 2: Also I thought it was watching COVID video because one
Speaker 2: of the highlights was him hitting a home run into
Speaker 2: empty bleachers at Dodger Stadium. And it took me back
Speaker 2: because I don't think people you'll remember this, but I
Speaker 2: don't think people that are modern Dodger fans realized how
Speaker 2: good they have it because there was a lot of
Speaker 2: nights one side of the bleachers are both just wouldn't
Speaker 2: be open.
Speaker 1: Oh I know, it's just a different times. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: just wouldn't be open.
Speaker 2: And so he's hitting these home runs into completely empty bleachers.
Speaker 2: It looked like the COVID era, which shows you how
Speaker 2: far the the organization has come over the past several years.
Speaker 1: So happy birthday, Daryl Strawberry. I'm sure I told you
Speaker 1: by Darryl, No, I guess not. We were on the
Speaker 1: set of Pros Versus Joe's and I mean this was
Speaker 1: over twenty years ago. It's a hell of a name

Speaker 1: seven years old, and uh and in thet yeah, that's
