I mean, obviously you cover this very intensely, 294 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 3: and you do an excellent job, if we do say 295 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 3: so ourselves. But how much did this catch you off guard? 296 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 3: And how deep are you going to have to dig 297 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 3: into this as far as you know local city, real estate, university, 298 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 3: red tape and all this fighting. 299 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 5: Then, yeah, there's a lot to unpack here. To your point, 300 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 5: there's going to be a lot to come here. The 301 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 5: interesting thing and the imminent decision that appears on the 302 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 5: horizon is Wednesday morning. There is a court date in 303 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 5: downtown and Los Angeles Superior Court to decide whether to 304 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 5: grant this temporary injunction temporary restraining order that the city 305 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 5: capacity in the Road Bowl is requesting against UCLA to 306 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 5: force them to stay at the Rose Bowl until this 307 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 5: matter can be resolved. I'm not going to tend to 308 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 5: be a lawyer or a legal expert, so I don't 309 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 5: really know. 310 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 3: Probably, man, we're live at a bar, so you're probably 311 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 3: gonna do better than us. 312 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 5: Well, you know, in the filing they did, they did 313 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 5: site some precedents of of you know, other teams that 314 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 5: have been trying to leave, even temporarily, and we're granted 315 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 5: the injunctions and had to stay. So you know, there's 316 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 5: president precedent in similar situations that might work in the 317 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 5: Rose Bulls favor. We have not seen uh UCLA, or 318 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 5: at least I have not seen that it's been filed. 319 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 5: UCLA's response to this. UH will be eminently filed, I'm 320 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 5: sure before Wednesday, so I'll be keeping an eye out 321 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 5: for that. But we should have some, at least some 322 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 5: I think clarity on next season here pretty soon, right, 323 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 5: because the Rose bull needs to know, Hey, are we 324 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 5: going to be able to lock you in for at 325 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 5: least next season so that we can continue operations. I mean, 326 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 5: they've got they've got people that they're trying to renew 327 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 5: for you know, rubs suite for next season, right, So 328 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 5: they need to get this decided at least for next 329 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 5: season here pretty quickly. 330 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 6: Ben. 331 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 7: I think we asked you this last time you came on. 332 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 7: But considering now, it looks like they really want to 333 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 7: make it happen for twenty twenty six. Why is UCLA 334 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 7: doing this when they have a contract that's supposed to 335 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 7: run through like twenty forty three. 336 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 6: Why so far? 337 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 7: Like, what's what's the idea behind this whole thing that 338 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 7: sounds like it's going to cost them millions of dollars 339 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 7: at the very least in legal fees. 340 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's gonna be a big check cutting no matter what, right, 341 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 5: I mean, unless they just drop it inside to stay. 342 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 5: So I mean, but the bottom line is money from 343 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 5: what I've been able to gather, UCLA thinks that even 344 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 5: with cutting some kind of really sizable check. And I 345 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 5: think we're talking probably at the very least, you know, 346 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 5: a nine figure settlement here, that even taking that into account, 347 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 5: they're going to be able to come out ahead by 348 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 5: moving to so far right, because the bottom line is 349 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 5: they locked themselves into a long term deal at the 350 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 5: Rose Bowl where they don't get sweet revenue, don't get 351 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 5: sponsorship revenue, get a very small percentage of parking and 352 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 5: concessions and things like that. So you know, there's a 353 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 5: lot of money that they think they're they're losing an 354 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 5: opportunity cost that they would get it so far right. 355 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 5: And I think that this is being driven actually above 356 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 5: from above the athletics department. I think that the university 357 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 5: has taking a look at these debts that they've had 358 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 5: six years in a row now and said, hey, wait 359 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 5: a minute. You know they just cut them a thirty 360 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 5: million dollar check last year to kind of kind of 361 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 5: even to balance the budget, and they're they're looking for 362 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 5: ways to get this, you know, closer to a sustainable operation. 363 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 5: And I think that's really at the heart of this. 364 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 7: So if you know, just kind of based on where 365 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 7: you're going with that, Ben, kind of what I'm interpreting 366 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 7: is this isn't about an empty Rose bowl. I guess 367 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 7: it is, because if there's people there, they're paying money. 368 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 7: But this is more kind of corporate as opposed to 369 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 7: student body. It's like, hey, we need to get paid 370 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 7: for the parking lot, we need to get paid for signage. 371 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 7: It's that sort of thing as opposed to can we 372 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 7: find a place to play football where our student body's 373 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 7: going to pack the house and we're going to have 374 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 7: a good vibe out there. 375 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think that they like the fact 376 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 5: that obviously so far as closer to campus and you know, 377 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 5: there's a large percentage of UCLA fans on the West side, 378 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,719 Speaker 5: I think that's you know, part of it. But the 379 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 5: bottom line is the bottom line, if I do say so, so, 380 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 5: you know, this is all about the dollar signs. This 381 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 5: is all about improving their financial situation because, as you know, 382 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 5: there's just so many challenges now financially for every college 383 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 5: athletic program. And I will say, I think part of 384 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 5: this willingness to do this knowing they're going to have 385 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 5: to pay money in the Rose Bowl is glooming deal 386 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 5: with the Big ten, with the you know, UC pension 387 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 5: system where retirement system, where they think they can get 388 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 5: one hundred and forty million dollars up front. Right, So 389 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 5: that's a nice chuck of change that they might be 390 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 5: able to have at their disposed disposal to offset whatever 391 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 5: they have to pay out to the Rose Bowl. 392 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 3: But this doesn't solve their problem as far as attracting 393 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 3: people to football games, right, I mean you would you 394 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 3: would say. 395 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, as I put in my story, 396 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 5: they they played It's so far in the La Bowl 397 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty three and the crowd was only thirty 398 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 5: two thousand, and that that that's lower than their season 399 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 5: average this year when they're on pace to set an 400 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 5: all time local right now, they're averaging thirty seven thousand. 401 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 5: And I would say, you know, for that for that 402 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 5: Bowl game, a big chuck of that was Boise State fan. 403 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 5: So you know that's a whole separate conversation. I mean 404 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 5: the tenants drop off and what they need to do. 405 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 5: I mean, let's let's be honest. They need to hire 406 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 5: a home run, make a home run higher with their coach, 407 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 5: right and get somebody in there that's and to get 408 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 5: this thing back at least to what it was during 409 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 5: their early Jim Moore years. So that's going to be 410 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 5: the goal now on that front. 411 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, who would have thought that Jim Mora was the 412 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 3: last UCLA coach to consistently attract a crowd at the 413 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,479 Speaker 3: Rose Bowl. But that's the truth. Ben boltch joining us 414 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 3: right now talking about the UCLA situation trying to move 415 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 3: to SOFI now, stupid idiot, giant headed football players that 416 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 3: don't understand homeowners associations like me, Ben, I just came 417 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 3: from UCF where they used to be swallowed up by 418 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 3: the Citrus Bowl and now it's the Camping World Stadium, 419 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 3: and they moved to an on campus stadium and now 420 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 3: they're in the Big twelve and more of a thriving program. 421 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 3: Two lane with a similar situation, moving to a smaller 422 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 3: stadium on campus, away from the Superdome and becoming more relevant, 423 00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 3: certainly in their world of college football. It's totally and 424 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 3: completely out of the question that UCLA could ever have 425 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 3: an on campus facility that was smaller and then play 426 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 3: the bigger games in a so fire the Rose Bowl. 427 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 3: Why is that so out of the realm of possibility. 428 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 5: Well, it's a good question, and it's one I get 429 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 5: emailed pretty much almost every day. I mean, I think 430 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 5: the big answer is that, you know, the UC regents, 431 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 5: when when this was looked at back in the sixties, 432 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 5: basically said because of some of the homeowners in that 433 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 5: area that put the cabash on it. They said, Okay, 434 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 5: we're going to have Drake Stadium, the Track Stadium, but 435 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 5: we're never going to have a football stadium there. And 436 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 5: they've basically committed to that. I mean, they've got underground 437 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 5: parking there, they've got homeowners associations that would be very 438 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 5: much against that. So there's a lot of political wrangling 439 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 5: that I think, and I've been asking that question as well, 440 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 5: but I don't think there's any sort of momentum toward 441 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 5: being able to do that. And I think it would 442 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 5: just be too difficult, given you know, kind of the 443 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 5: landscape and what's already been put in place there. 444 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 7: Ben to shift to the on the field product kind 445 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 7: of what what happens with with Nico Imlava after this season? 446 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 7: Is he going to the NFL? Is there a bigger 447 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 7: check out there? 448 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 3: Like what do you? 449 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 6: How do you think? 450 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 7: Because it's not from what I understand, it's not a 451 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 7: great quarterback class there certainly does not feel like there's 452 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 7: a consensus number one overall pick. So how does this 453 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 7: thing end for him at UCLA? 454 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been thinking about that a lot lately. But 455 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 5: I'll say, first of all, been super impressed with Nikar. 456 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 5: I think he's been everything they wanted and more. I mean, 457 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 5: he's done just a fabulous job of running this offense. 458 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 5: I mean he's taken so many hits. He's there, you know, 459 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 5: he's there leading rusher on the season, and he just 460 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 5: there's so many times he just gets smashed and I'm 461 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 5: just like kind of wincing and he gets up and 462 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 5: it's just fine. And he's also been super accountable. He's 463 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 5: met with us after every law put it on his shoulders. 464 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 5: So he's a true baller. I've really been impressed with him, 465 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 5: you know, and he's got great character too. I wouldn't 466 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 5: be surprised, you know, at Big Ten Media Day. He 467 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 5: said that if he had the season he wanted, he 468 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 5: would go on and go to the NFL. But I 469 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 5: think he really is enjoying his time, even with kind 470 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 5: of the up and downs that they've had this year. 471 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 5: And frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if he came back 472 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 5: for one more year, especially if they got a coach 473 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 5: that really connected with him and sold him on, you know, 474 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 5: a vision, and maybe brought a good chunk of his 475 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 5: roster with him for kind of like that Indiana infusion 476 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 5: of talent. I could see a scenario where we see 477 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 5: Nko back with the Bruins in twenty twenty six. 478 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 3: Somebody better tell Casey's got to ride a pretty big 479 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 3: check along with the Rose Bowl legal fees. The great 480 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 3: Ben boltch our guest. The last time we talked to you, Ben, 481 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 3: we were Matt and I were at a bar, but 482 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 3: we were at a casino bar. This time we're at 483 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 3: a much more acceptable bar here in Curritos, and it 484 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 3: was Lane Kiffin that was maybe a hotter name for 485 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 3: UCLA at the time. Now I think he's going to 486 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 3: be offered a lot of other jobs and living in 487 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 3: Manhattan Beach probably is not going to be enough to 488 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 3: bring him out to the West Coast. Maybe he's going 489 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 3: to jump to the NFL, or maybe he'll stay at Ole, 490 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 3: Miss who knows. But who do you think now, as 491 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 3: it's been a month or so since we talked, is 492 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 3: in UCLA's wheelhouse to hire as a coach. I mean, 493 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 3: Jim Mora just filled up that freaking stadium in stores 494 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 3: for Yukon. Not that they want to go on that 495 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 3: ride again. But who do you think UCLA is looking 496 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 3: at right now? And who do you think is going 497 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 3: to make the higher. 498 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the landscape has completely changed since our 499 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 5: last conversation, right, so, so many more big time jobs 500 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 5: have opened up. I'm going to take a lot of 501 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 5: people off the table that you say might have been 502 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 5: able to get previously. So I think really the two 503 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 5: paths for them. You know, if I was running the 504 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 5: search up to say that going to do this, but 505 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 5: I think you know an up and coming kind of 506 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 5: group of five guys, uh or you know a big 507 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 5: time coordinator like will Stein at Oregon. I think those 508 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 5: are the kind of the two paths. But I think 509 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 5: the bottom line is you want to get somebody who's 510 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 5: not going to be at u c l A for 511 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 5: two or three years, but it's going to try to 512 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 5: stay and make this their own thing, right, kind of 513 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 5: become the Dan Landing of Westland. I know that's you know, 514 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 5: that's asking a lot there, but I think you want 515 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 5: to get some money. Who's who's uh really going to 516 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 5: be able to put their stamp on this and and 517 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 5: be proud of what they've done and and and you know, 518 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 5: really built with this program and not just use it 519 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 5: as a stepping stone. If I'm running the committee, Uh, 520 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 5: that's that's what I would want, I do think you know, 521 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 5: as I think we talked last time, having Bob Myers 522 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 5: and Adam Peters the Commander's GM. Those are two heavyweight 523 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 5: uh sports figures, really smart guys. They're part of this process. 524 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 5: So that gives me a lot of confidence that they're 525 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 5: gonna kick guitires on a lot of quality people and 526 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 5: probably be able to come it with somebody pretty darn good. 527 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 3: All right, Ben, you're gonna have to slip some punches tonight. 528 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 3: You got basketball to cover, right. 529 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 5: That's right, No Donovan dead tonight, Petros he's out. 530 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 3: It's gonna be what's wrong with you got him? 531 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 5: I'm breaking some news here, muscle strain.

But they're 534 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 5: gonna take it easy with him tonight against West Georgia. 535 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 5: Probably the right moves. 536 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 3: All right, as long as it's the questions.

He was born in Cleveland, raised in 688 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 7: South Bend, started and wrote a column titled Troubled Waters 689 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 7: for his high school newspaper that became super popular with 690 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 7: the student body, did some local sketch comedy, went to 691 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 7: Montreal to attend McGill University, and when he graduated, he 692 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 7: chased the Hollywood dream. 693 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 3: He went to Malmtreal to attend. 694 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 7: His uh Hollywood dream went the same way as Quinton Tarantino's. 695 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 6: He was working as a video store clerk. 696 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 7: In Hermosa not sure where, but while there he worked 697 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 7: on his craft and he began writing the screenplay in 698 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 7: the spring of nineteen eighty six for Heathers. 699 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 6: It was a speck. 700 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 7: He wanted Stanley Kubrick to direct the film, thinking it 701 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 7: would speak to him a similar approach as Doctor Strain 702 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 7: Love his favorite film. His pitch was Let's Run Opo 703 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 7: the Ouey gooey John Hughes coming of age teenage films 704 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 7: of the time by presenting something cynical of high school 705 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 7: imbued with dark satire. The Cafeteria Senior. The start of 706 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 7: Heathers was written as an homage to the barrack scene 707 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 7: that opens Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. So after a number 708 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,800 Speaker 7: of failed attempts to get the script greenlit or accepted 709 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 7: by Kubrick, he approached director Michael Lahman, who agreed to 710 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 7: take it on. Some tweaks were made. The original version, 711 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 7: JD successfully blows up Westerberg High and the final scene 712 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 7: is a surreal prom gathering in Heaven. Studios were like, no, 713 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 7: we're not doing that. Lighten it up a little bit there. 714 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 7: Francis casting was polarizing. Waters early choices for Veronica were 715 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 7: Justine Bateman and Jennifer Connolly, but neither of their agents 716 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 7: wanted them to be part of a dark and weird 717 00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 7: film like Heathers. Winona Ryder begged for the part, but 718 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 7: Waters told her straight up, you're not pretty enough. So 719 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,800 Speaker 7: when Oda said she understood, she had blue hair, didn't 720 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 7: wear makeup, and was pale at the time. Out of Pedaluma, 721 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 7: she went to the Beverly Center and the Macy's, got 722 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 7: a makeover and came back and said how about now, 723 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 7: And she was cast, despite the protests of her agent. 724 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 7: Brad Pitt begged for the role of JD, but our 725 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 7: man Waters said, nah, I'm going with this. Wanna be 726 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 7: Jack Nicholson, guy, Christian Slater. Heather Graham was offered the 727 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 7: part of Heather Chandler, but her parents didn't. 728 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 3: I don't see that. 729 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 7: Heather Graham's parents said no, I don't like the script. 730 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 7: You're not doing it. So Slater's girlfriend took that role, 731 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 7: and Shannon Doherty, this is my favorite little tidbit from 732 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,280 Speaker 7: the Heathers. She wanted the role of Ironica was offered. 733 00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 7: Heather Chandler said no, thank you, gimme. Heather Duke said fine, 734 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 7: we want you to dye your hair blonde to match 735 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 7: the other girls. She said no.

Yeah, Dougherty 738 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 7: at the cast viewing for the first time that anybody 739 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 7: saw the film after it was complete, she ran out crying. 740 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 7: Did not know it was a dark comedy. Thought it 741 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 7: was a serious drama and she might like to be 742 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 7: nominated for an Oscar or something. 743 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 3: And sheminated for a dark comedy. 744 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 7: I guess not. Waters would win the Edgar Award for 745 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 7: Best Picture. But it was a box office failure only 746 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 7: later became a cult.
