The Past Our Prime podcast is heading into season 2 but before we look back to the future lets look ahead to the past. There were plenty of great stories in sports from 1974 starting with the Miami Dolphins repeating as Super Bowl champions behind SB MVP Larry Csonka who joined us for our 3rd episode. A week later, the UCLA Bruins 88-game winning streak ended at the hands of Notre Dame and former Bruins team captain and later their head coach Larry Farmer joined us to talk about that fateful day before joining us a 2nd time when his friend and teammate Bill Walton died suddenly this past May. And from there, we just took off... in April of 1974, Hank Aaron set the all-time record for Home Runs by hitting one out in Atlanta. That ball was caught by his teammate, Tom House who joined us to talk about Henry, and a great story about a no-hitter by Nolan Ryan when he was the pitching coach for the Rangers. Jenny Fulle became the first girl to play Little League, Johnny Rutherford won the Indy 500, Hall of Fame goaltender Bernie Parent led the Flyers to a Cup and Boston Globe writer Bob Ryan joined us for one of three times to talk about the Celtics winning it all in '74. Mike Eruzione and the Miracle on Ice. Ali beats Frazier and Foreman. Tommy John has surgery. The Oakland A's make it 3 straight. Jimmy Connors is #1 in the world and engaged to Chrissy Evert. Jennifer Chandler and John Kinsella both win gold medals. Evel Knievel is jumping over any and everything. JK MccKay and Anthony Davis are leading USC to a national title and Rocky Bleier returns from Vietnam to win the first of 4 Super Bowls with the Steelers. It was an amazing year in sports 50 years ago and we cover it from start to finish with the help of Curry Kirkpatrick and Hall of Famers Joe Delamielleure, Rick Barry and Nancy Lieberman who caps off the year talking about her friend and mentor Muhammad Ali, the 1974 Sportsman of the Year. So, before we get on to 1975, take a look back at what took place 50 years ago in '74. It was a year to remember, and that;s just what we did on the Past Our Prime podcast.

On July 5, 1975, Arthur Ashe made history as the first Black man to win Wimbledon, defeating defending champion Jimmy Connors. Ashe had earlier claimed victory at the U.S. Open in 1968. Off the court, he distinguished himself as a vocal activist, advocating for the end of apartheid in South Africa and protesting the treatment of Haitian refugees in the United States. Ashe also founded multiple charities focused on AIDS research. His tennis career ended abruptly in 1980 following a heart attack he suffered the year before. In 1993, Ashe publicly revealed that he had contracted AIDS from a blood transfusion during his heart surgery in 1983. He passed away on February 6, 1993, at 46, leaving a lasting legacy in sports, activism, and humanitarianism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

SERIES 2 EPISODE 174: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: We need a Walter Cronkite moment from The New York Times. The New York Times needs, one day – one day soon, one day now – to devote the entirety of the front page – to a headline, and an editorial, signed by the publisher Sulzberger and the editor Kahn and the key columnists and correspondents – headlined “TRUMP IMPERILS DEMOCRACY” and sub-headlined “YOUR LIFE AT STAKE.” We need a Walter Cronkite moment from The New York Times and when Trump went to a Philadelphia area seaside resort called Wildwood, drew maybe 10,000 cultists, lied and had the Republican mayor lie and say it was 80,000, complained that immigrant students don't speak English and immediately afterwards said something like “Borden-in-riv-iv,” said something else like “carry doubt-ite-by-rite,”claimed the president between Ford and Reagan was named Jimmy Connors, said the Chinese were preparing to invade Beijing (their own capital), insisted the entire country was grateful that he killed Roe-V-Wade, thanked – by name - the Supreme Court justices who gutted it, suddenly invoked the fictional cannibal character Hannibal Lecter, seemed to praise him, claimed the character was dead, and got the name of the movie wrong, and then insisted all immigrants are Hannibal Lecter – and all of that was after he was introduced by some immigrant who called him “President CHUMP"... the New York Times story, by a sixth-stringer named Michael Gold, mentioned… none of that. This was what Editor Joe Kahn's writer told consumers of the most influential news organization in America, quote: “After a long and often tense week in his criminal trial in Manhattan… Trump… took part in a time-honored ritual enjoyed by countless New Yorkers in need of a break: He went to the shore.” Oh ho ho, how clever. The Times instead lets Maggie Haberman dismiss as “hearsay” Michael Cohen's first-hand recounting of what Trump told him about ‘not being on the market for long' if Melania dumped him and if Haberman doesn't know the legal definition of “hearsay” get rid of her. And the Times made room for an op-ed bashing Joe Biden by Mark Penn, a dishonest right wing pollster who has been posing as a Democrat for at least 20 years. In Court: “Michael Cohen calmly describes Trump's hush money instructions,” reads the headline in The Washington Post. The SUB-headline quotes Trump: “Just do it.” That's what the prosecution needed out of Cohen. And it needs it again out of him today. AND whenever the cross-examination begins. It needs him making more self-abnegating jokes about ‘angry, even for me.' It needs him testifying as he did yesterday: that he was there in Trump Tower, days before Trump was sworn in as president, with Allan Weisselberg, reviewing a handwritten document plan to repay Cohen for the Stormy Daniels hush money and how they would hide it. And that Trump said “smart individuals” had told him, Trump, to pay the $130,000. And that Trump told him he knew if the Daniels story got out it would be a disaster for the CAMPAIGN. And it needs him producing one outstandingly sleazy quote from Trump per day on the stand, like when Cohen asked Trump about the impact on his wife MELANIA if the story got out and Trump said “don't worry. How long do you think I'll be on the market for? Not long.” B-Block (22:54) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: California Assembly Bill 2265 and what it can do to save dogs - and save shelters the horrible cost of killing them. (24:27) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: An update on the back story to the "This Is SportsCenter" commercial I did with soccer's Alexi Lalas, in which I reprised John Belushi's moment in "Animal House" in which he smashes the guitar against the wall. The update? The DVD with the outtakes literally fell off a shelf here yesterday. Enjoy. C-Block (40:35) GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Birds and backyard ambience — as spring descends upon the Piedmont, so do the birds. And they were chatty this morning, so I stuck my microphone out the window. That's about all there is to say — Oh, stay away from Jimmy Connors tennis on the Atari Lynx. I found it cheap on eBay and decided what the heck. Watching Jimmy Connors in the early 90s at the US Open was fun. I thought that maybe his namesake handheld lynx game might that all over the tennis court rackets blazing fun? It doesn't. In the game, it is impossible to serve the ball, and when you return a serve, the computer effortlessly lobs it back. A blinking yellow square tells you where you need to position your player to return, so you run to it. There's like a second delay from button press to avatar swing, and you miss. Jimmy Connors was Mr. Volley. The game is death volley. Ooph — look the only reason to buy Jimmy Connors Tennis is to hear the voice of Jimmy Connors and crude lip movements as the legend welcomes you to the hardest ****** tennis game of all time.

He was one of the first bad boys of tennis, but boy could he play. Sports Illustrated's Curry Kirkpatrick covered Jimmy Connors right when the young tennis star was breaking onto the scene and before his run at being #1 for 160 weeks in a row. Now, 50 years later, Kirkpatrick tells us about Jimmy's upbringing, his relationships with Ashe, Smith and McEnroe as well as Chris Evert... and his unbelievable run at the U.S. Open in 1991. It's a great hour of talking tennis with a Hall of Fame writer who was in the middle of it all back in March of 1974. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

At age 14, a country boy left an abusive home to take a job peeling potatoes in a nearby restaurant. Two decades later he was a legendary chef, restaurateur, and caterer to the stars in Hollywood.Wolfgang Puck shares his extraordinary journey on Rodeo Drive: The Podcast, Season Four, in a conversation with Lyn Winter.Born in a rural village in Austria, Puck set off on his own after middle school and worked his way to the top of fine dining in Provence, Paris and Monte Carlo before arriving in Los Angeles, where he transformed Ma Maison and then launched the game-changing Spago in West Hollywood and then Beverly Hills, followed by Chinois On Main, and now CUT by Wolfgang Puck Restaurant and Lounge at the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel.Along the way, he invented the open kitchen, introduced Asian fusion, elevated farm-to-table produce and became the caterer for the Oscars. Now his empire spans more than 27 restaurants around the globe, cookware, wine and coffee lines, best selling cookbooks and a documentary film. He has a star on Hollywood Boulevard, a character based on him in an animated TV show, and is studying at Harvard.Puck talks about the twists and turns on his path to success, including the challenges of seating the stars in the most popular restaurant in town. He recalls feeding Lionel Ritchie and Jimmy Connors on the staircase, creating smoked salmon pizza for Joan Collins, and sealing the deal to cater the Academy Awards.“I said, ‘I don't tell you how to make the movie, you don't tell me what to cook,' and that was it. And they said, okay, and they were happy because they didn't have to choose. Before they used to get into fights; one wanted chicken, one wanted fish, one wanted steak, and so forth.”He recollects the violence in his life, first from a terrible stepfather and then in the kitchens of his early days. “It used to be totally, totally crazy in the kitchens, you know. And for what? … But normally, if they mess up something, I just show them how to do it the right way, right. It's easier than yelling at them.”And he expresses the joy of foraging for fresh vegetables, dating back to his childhood with his beloved mother, also a cook. “If you ask me, ‘what do you prefer, going shopping at Neiman Marcus or to the farmers market'? There is no doubt that we'll go to the farmers market. So for me, our cooking is all about the ingredients. If we get the best ingredients and then we don't mess them up we're going to have good food.”Finally, Puck talks about bringing in the next generation and his son Byron, even though he has no plans to stop working himself, “I get excited about everything…to me, continuing doing what you love to do and when you're passionate about it, that's what life is all about.”Season Four of Rodeo Drive – The Podcast is presented by the Rodeo Drive Committee with the support of The Hayman Family, Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, and the Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau.Season Four Credits:Executive Producer and Host: Lyn WinterOn behalf of the Rodeo Drive Committee: Kathy GohariScriptwriter and Editorial Advisor: Frances AndertonEditor: Hans FjellestadTheme music by Brian BanksProduction Assistant: Isabelle Alfonso.Listen, subscribe, rate and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.Visit the website:https://www.rodeodrive-bh.com/podcast/Join us on Instagram:@rodeodrive #onlyonrodeodrive #rodeodrivethepodcast Hosted on Acast.

In Serving Aces, episode 6, Alexandra Stevenson and Hugues Laverdiere introduce their first guest, journalist Joel Drucker.  Drucker has been writing about sports, pop culture, and business for 35 years.  He was named Historian at Large by the Tennis Hall Of Fame because of his knowledge and passion for the game of tennis.  Stevenson leads the discussion into three parts from the iconic 70s... Part One, Christ Evert and Martina Navratilova and their 80 match rivalry from 1972 to 1988.  Part Two, the founding of the ATP and the crossover of Lamar Hunt's WCT, the handsome eight - and more men's tennis including the grand Cliff Drysdale.  Part three, Rock and Roll tennis with Jimmy Connors, the first rock tennis star in the 1970s.  Connors brought a boxer's mentality to his "Friday Night at the Fights" matches.  Drucker wrote a book, "Jimmy Connors Saved My Life: A Personal Biography."  Drucker talks about why Connors was so important to him as a 12 year old in the 70s - and later in his reporter life. Stevenson continues her weekly fantasy coaches and players picks.  Laverdiere and Drucker join in with their male and female picks and the coaches who will help them in the clay season. Stevenson is a storyteller.  Though she was a 1980s baby - she has memories and meetings with many of the 1970s legends.  Guest Drucker and co-host Laverdiere join in with their own memories. Quote of the Podcast:  "I never lost a tennis match. I just ran out of time."  Jimmy Connors.

The country's oldest amateur tennis tournament, The Ojai Tennis Tournament, affectionately known as "The Ojai" returns April 26-30 with 1,400 players and 500 volunteers. Steve Pratt and Brian Teacher join us to talk about the tournament's astonishing history and importance to the world of tennis. Teacher, multiple Ojai champion, winner of the Pac-8 single and doubles title in 1974 and a member of the UCLA squad that won the NCAA title in 1974 and 1975, was recently entered on the Wall of Fame in Libbey Park. Pratt, communications director of the tournament, was on hand to talk about Teacher's incredible career as well as The Ojai's return to full vigor after three years of pandemic-related interruptions and curtailments. There was also pickleball talk. Teacher, once ranked no. 7 in the world, went pro after UCLA and won the Australian Open in 1980. Along the way, he beat legends like fellow UCLA Bruins Arthur Ashe and Jimmy Connors. He now runs his eponymous Tennis Academy in South Pasadena. He has also developed an application called Full Court Teaching App that keeps comprehensive records of a player's games and form and allows coaches from all over the world to analyze and advise. It also makes it easier to hire coaches and get real-time help from anywhere with an internet connection. We talked about the changes in the game since Teacher's pro days, the physical demands of the sport and of all high-level athletics, the rigors of the road and where tennis goes next. The behind-the-scenes glimpses into the massive logistical challenge of The Ojai was also discussed. We did not talk about Robert Peary's North Pole expedition, why hot water freezes faster than cold, or the development of the Wankel engine.

Kamau Murray is joined by Brian Teacher, the 1980 Australian Open men's singles champion who's new passion is changing how the game is coached and taught with technology. Teacher explains how it all came together to win a grand slam trophy, and what it was like competing against Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, & other legends of his era. And the SoCal native explains how he's helping to change the game with Full Court Tennis, an app that makes it easy to coach & teach remotely for players at all levels. Whether you're a professional looking for improvements that will take you to the next level, or a recreational player just trying to better your game, Brian Teacher's app has got you covered and he explains why in great detail.

Casper Ruud and Carlos Alcaraz will face off on Sunday with the winner becoming US Open champion and the new World No.1. It could hardly get more tantalising. In this podcast, we chat about how they both got there, with Ruud winning a 55-shot rally and surviving a mini Karen Khachanov fightback, and Alcaraz once again going the distance late at night to beat an inspired Frances Tiafoe. How well did Ruud handle the match and the pressure of being the favourite? And what made Alcaraz vs Tiafoe such a special occasion?

With the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, it was been a strange, unsettling day at the US Open. Sporting coverage on BBC Radio was replaced with rolling news and obituary programming, meaning David didn't commentate on the tennis. Catherine wasn't required to present Prime Video's coverage and a moment's silence was held on court ahead of the women's semi-finals. We discussed what to do with the podcast and decided to continue production - we are a tennis podcast on-site at the US Open, with a global audience of tennis fans. We understand and respect that some of our listeners will not want to listen to us at this time, but we want to continue as normal for those that do. So on we go. And in this episode we review semi-final wins for Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur.WIN A TRIP TO THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN:Our US Open dailies this year are brought to you in association with AO Travel, who provide the Australian Open experience the easy way.

Wednesday was a good day. It was David's birthday, Catherine and Matt met Lin Manuel Miranda, Frances Tiafoe brought the good vibes to Flushing Meadows by becoming the first American man to reach the US Open semi-finals since 2006, Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka set up a mouthwatering semi-final, and Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner played a match for the ages, a quite simply bonkers match, showing that the future of tennis is oh so bright.

On the first quarter-final day at the US Open, we cover Caroline Garcia's incredible form to beat home favourite Coco Gauff, Ons Jabeur's up and down victory over Ajla Tomljanovic, Matteo Berrettini's poor performance and whether that match changes how we feel about him and Casper Ruud, a surprising but brilliant five set victory for Karen Khachanov over Nick Kyrgios, and much excitement for the latest chapter in the Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner rivalry.

It took until 5th September, but Rafael Nadal has finally lost a Grand Slam match in 2022. He was beaten in sensational fashion by Frances Tiafoe, a result which blows the men's draw wide open and sets up a fascinating second week. On the podcast, we cover what went wrong for Nadal, whether we should have seen it coming, what makes Tiafoe so great to watch, and what this means for his career. Elsewhere, we discuss a rare disappointing day for Cameron Norrie, an unconvincing victory for Iga Swiatek, a typical Jessica Pegula performance to beat Petra Kvitova, a crazy Aryna Sabalenka stat, Casper Ruud's number one shot, and some farcical roof scenes.

The great tennis just keeps coming at this US Open. In part one, Catherine, David and Matt discuss Coco Gauff's special connection with the New York crowd and the way she's been afforded time to grow her game and become a Grand Slam contender, the formidable form of Caroline Garcia, a five set win for Matteo Berrettini over the always fun Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, some minor aggro between Corentin Moutet and Casper Ruud, and Matt revises The Backhand List. In the night session, did we see the best performance of Nick Kyrgios' career? Why did he not know a very basic tennis rule? And what happened to Medvedev? Plus, as David and Matt head home on the media shuttle bus, there's chat about Ajla Tomljanovic impressively backing up her Serena victory.WIN A TRIP TO THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN:Our US Open dailies this year are brought to you in association with AO Travel, who provide the Australian Open experience the easy way.

There was a morning after feeling to Day 6 at the US Open following Serena Williams' defeat on Friday night. But it actually didn't take long for great matches to start happening again, bringing new life to the tournament and giving us plenty to talk about on the podcast. After a night off, Catherine re-joined David and Matt for all of her Serena vs Tomljanovic takes plus lots of chat about Saturday's action. We reflect some more on Serena's legacy before talking about final set tiebreak victories for Petra Kvitova and Andrey Rublev, their beaten opponents Garbine Muguruza and Denis Shapovalov, a surging Frances Tiafoe, an 18th consecutive win for Rafael Nadal against Richard Gasquet, and whether Marin Cilic can trouble Carlos Alcaraz. There's also discussion about some incredibly important words from Victoria Azarenka on the issue of safeguarding against abusive coaches and relationships on the WTA Tour.

Serena Williams has got us all dreaming. After she played some vintage tennis to beat World No.2 Anett Kontaveit, Catherine, David and Matt discuss whether she can go on to win the entire tournament. How is Serena's run making us feel? What was better about today's performance compared to Monday's? And will there be anyone who can cope with the crowd and the sheer enormity of the occasion to actually beat her? We also talk about Jack Draper's routine victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime, Coco Gauff and Madison Keys setting up a third round blockbuster, Andy Murray's improved form and his prospects against Matteo Berrettini, and much more.

We may have had the Serena celebration, but we haven't had her final match. Not yet. At the end of an extraordinary evening - which saw Serena honoured on court before, during and after her victory over Danka Kovinic - David, Catherine and Matt try to sum it all up. Why was it better to stage Serena's ceremony tonight rather than after a loss? How much better did her game look than in Cincinnati? And can she now go on a run? Elsewhere, it was a day of upsets with Simona Halep, Daria Kasatkina, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Taylor Fritz all beaten. We talk about those shocks, Andy Murray's first straight sets win at a slam since 2017, why Ons Jabeur is under the radar here, whether we found Dominic Thiem's loss to Pablo Carreno Busta worrying or encouraging, and why Bianca Andreescu needs to do some grovelling to Nike.

On the eve of the US Open, David, Catherine and Matt are together on site to reflect on what the players said on media day, to react to the news that Serena and Venus Williams are playing doubles together, to highlight some of the best stories from qualifying, and to preview Monday's action. We discuss lots of the players' tributes to Serena, whether Iga Swiatek is going to thrive or not in New York, Rafael Nadal's fitness, Naomi Osaka's form, some punchy comments from Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz, Emma Raducanu's return as defending champion, the incredible Brandon Holt story, and much more.

We could be in for a wild US Open. That's our big takeaway following Cincinnati where Borna Coric and Caroline Garcia won the titles. In our final show before leaving for New York we talk about Coric's sudden return to form, a mysterious but encouraging week for Stefanos Tsitsipas, who the US Open favourite is between Rafael Nadal and Daniil Medvedev, whether Caroline Garcia is in The Mix after her incredible run of form continued, and where the likes of Emma Raducanu, Madison Keys, Jessica Pegula and Petra Kvitova fit in to conversations about US Open contenders.FRIENDS OF THE TENNIS PODCAST: Friends help us to produce the show year-round, and receive exclusive access to bonus podcasts throughout the year, including Tennis Re-Lived, listener questions, and Grand Slam review shows.
