(00:21):
they are on your home of theLa Dodgers. In thinking down the Green,
petrosin Money Rose, in Money Rose, that's aquarum, question row,
that's a classic movie. Do notthrow your Lane Kiffin shirts away orright.
Hell, we will handle at them. We will handle it at them.

(00:43):
Unbelievable. There's something sexy about acouple sharing us at soft yet powerful,

Tomorrow. We have a full showand then a three hour show on
Friday four frog Man Friday. Thishas been schedule talk on the Petros and
Money Show. Check the schedule onTwitter at Petros and Money ed. It
is now time for the Top storyof the day. Well, if you

(02:07):
missed it, ninety minutes ago,James Worthy joined us and we discussed the
He was unhappy Matt. He said, this sucks. The failures of the
Lakers. Today's top story points outwell disappointment. To use the word point
again, he said he was ina bad place. Disappointment he was in
a bad place. This sucks,and I think that's the way a lot

(02:30):
of Laker fans feel today. TheDuke was busy making excuses on his social
media feed. We will not tellyou what the name of that social media
feed is because it does not warrantpublicizing my particular position at the Duke of
Sports. It was not a mustwin, but it kind of was.

(02:50):
I loved it. It kind ofwas a must win after the loss of
Minnesota on Sunday because Anthony Davis gotoh god, no, because Anthony Davis
got poked in the eye. TheLakers needed to defeat the Warriors in order
to avoid Golden State owning the tiebreaker, ensuring that Lebron James and company would
have to win their final two gamesand by the way, their final two

(03:16):
games both on the road after losingto on a road home, and make
sure they got some help. GoldenState would have to slip up at least
once in their final three games inorder for them to not end up behind
the Warriors and the standings and mostlikely in the ten hole in a lonely
place, in a lonely no doubt, like the Humphrey Bogart movie. We

(03:37):
got film Noir Corner coming up next. That's right, not that movie,
but quiet Place. Different movie,totally different, totally different. Hard to
make a movie like that. MostNo One talks. You would have thought
it would have been a singular focusall day yesterday. Considering the gravity of
the situation, another Lebron James StephCurry showdown very well. Their playoff lives

(04:00):
at stake. The winner of thisgame has a has at least a shot
to ascend to the seven and eighthspot where you don't have to win two
games just to end up with theeight seed and playing the number one.
No, you end up in theseven or the eight. You win that
game, you sit around for acouple days, and you play the two,
which very well could end up beingOklahoma City Thunder team Minnesota Timberwolves,

(04:24):
team young inexperienced in the playoffs.And now you're feeling kind of good about
moving forward. But that is notlet us not what the throngs of Lebronites
in the media pushed yesterday. Theydid not push his competitive spirit. Oh
Lebron is fighting through a horrible boutof the flu in order to get on

(04:45):
the floor and ensure that his Lakerteam leading his Laker team to win this
critical game after missing out on thecontest Sunday and his absence likely being a
big reason why they got stuck withthe loss of the Wolves. But instead
we heard heard about his opting outof his contract and his fifty one million
dollar options so he could secure ano trade clause. We also heard that

(05:09):
Bronni James is considered an NBA leveldefender by a clear consensus of NBA scouts.
Those were the Lebron James talking pointsthat were disseminated yesterday. It was
a tired of the Lies Tuesday andwe were consado exact boy from last Mentidas
exactly right. That's the agenda theychose to push. Yesterday, the Lebron

(05:31):
Media Information Center sent out their minions. Hey, use these are our talking
points for today. Now go goon your twenty four hours sports news networks
and share the good word. Sharethe good news with the pieces like Pentecost.
Yes, you know, there's anew Instagram feed out there and it

(05:53):
just tracks Lebron's lies and it's likeit's a good one. Yeah. Oh,
I told everybody Brady's gonna come backand win this Super Bowl. He's
gonna tie it up and he's gonnawin it overtime. That's what he's gonna
do. I mean, it's likeyou know, oh, I was just
reading this book and it's like lies, Lies, Lies, last to miss,
sweet little lies laes. Oh no, no, thanks for keeping the

(06:15):
priorities straight, Lebron. And thisis where the box score gets you into
trouble. Duke, it's quite clearthat, yes, I acknowledge. Darvinham
is not Eric Spolstra. He isnot Chuck Daily, He's not pat Riley
nor Rick Carlyle. Chances are hegets fired after this season. What is

(06:39):
he? Oh, he's gonna getfired. He's getting fired. Uh.
It took him half a year tofigure out what his rotations should look like,
much to the chagrin of his roster. We're all going to the graveyard,
no doubt. If you coach forLebron, you're going sooner than anybody.
You might only last a week.You first, David Blatt, back
to Israel with you, Maccabi telAviv. Beat it. Don't care how

(07:02):
successful you were over there, You'renothing here. Vogel ham substitution patterns were
an object of derision for many Lakerfans as well. Lopsided runs by opponents
that Doug holes or saw leads evaporate, but stick to stick. This loss
on Ham is narrow. It's it'sdefinitely short sighted, narrow minded, whatever

(07:28):
you want to call it. Yes, low hanging fruit, Matt, I
mean yes, failing to guard thethree point line and watching one wide open
shot fall through then after another theGolden State Warriors. That's the thing though,
in this game, Like that's asurprise when you think of the way
the Warriors want to play basketball.You don't think guard the three point line.

(07:48):
No, you want to protect thepaint. You want to really pack
it in. I'm not let thatkaminga beat us. That's right, We're
going to pack the paint. We'regonna make sure if they beat us,
they're gonna do it from distance.I'd like to see him. No,
Draymond Layups, not here, noway, no how. You want to
shoot those threes, go ahead,take them. If we die by that

(08:09):
sword, so be it. You'llbe bulled. The Golden State Warriors set
a record for the highest shooting percentagewhen taking over forty three pointers in a
game. Who so yes? Numberof questions of the hell were you looking
at out there? And how isit the Draymond Green and Gary Payton and
Klay Thompson and Steph Curry and AndrewWiggins are all taking wide open threes after

(08:35):
wide open threes, again, Lebronitesmobilize and attack. Be sure to push
the King's agenda and point out thiscould not possibly be his fault that he
shot an efficient fourteen of twenty twofor his thirty three points, that he
had eleven assists and probably should havehad three or four more, and made

(08:56):
sure he looked a dejected on thesideline so the camera could get him looking
dejected so everybody could push that narra. Oh, he's not dejected, pe,
He's still sick. He's still bravingthe flu that is ravaged his body,
as you could tell by his postgameconversation with Geter, in which the

(09:18):
question and God love you Geter,you're suffering. You're dealing with a portion
of the volleyball schedule that your kidis in Spokane this week, in Kansas
City the next, and Saint Louisthe next, and Reno the next week
after week, pushing through at fifteenand sixteen years old and You've got to
stand in front of Lebron James,who sits with the poor a posture that

(09:41):
Matt Patricia would have thought was alarming, and you asked him a three minute
question. Oh hey, hey,Lebron. I mean, you know,
why was Geter there? I don'tknow, but they went to him in
the locker room. Why was Geeterin the locker room? I don't know.
I think that was I believe thatwas him that was asking the question.
It's not on camera when I saw, but it was like a three

(10:01):
minute question. It wasn't Trudell.Maybe it was Trudell. I don't know
who it was, but I feltlike they they said, let's get to
Geetter, and he was at thegame. Ah, you know what was
going on out there? You know, of course they're gonna make some you
know, but you don't expect himto make that many, you know,
So how do you how do youbalance out when those shots are going down
and what you're gonna do next?And and and you know, what's what's

(10:22):
the approach? Then when they startfalling and and and maybe it's too late
to adjust because now they found theirrhythm. What do you got to say
about that? Oh, you know, I think we just if you're too
sick, just come home. Wejust go home. He's got his beanie
on, he's got his sweatshirt andhis hood on, trying to keep warm.
I'll sweat it out, and we'llsweat this flew out my system.

(10:45):
Oh you know, just felt likewe pushed hard a couple of times and
just the runs came up a little. Sure, but you know, we
still got time to write this thing. We just gotta make sure everybody's pushing
in the right direction. Thank you, Thank you for sharing and pointing out

(11:07):
that we can't forget. You maybe coming back a day early from the
flu, the same flu that keptAnthony Davis out of this game. However,
it is pointless to look at justone side of the floor when a
team drops thirty eight on you inthe first quarter to set the tone,
and then proceeds to score over thirtyin each of the next two quarters and
came up just a bucket short inthe final to avoid having at least thirty

(11:31):
points dropped on your head in eachand every quarter of this must win game.
One that made James Worthy so sickhe screamed, this sucks, very,
very unworthy like this sucks loses coolmoment for very honestly, very chill
James worthy. Generally, the Warriorsshot better from three to sixty three percent

(11:54):
than they did on their twos fiftyfour percent. But that's because of the
design of the defense. We're gonnapack in the paint. We're gonna make
you, We're gonna make you beatus from deep. Uh. The bench
was brutal, which is fine.Gabe, Vincent, Dinwittie, Torre and
Prince all double digit minus in theplus minus category with their limited minutes.

(12:15):
But your leadership, your leader setsthe tone. And all season long,
damn near all season long, I'llsay it, Lebron James been chasing stats.
He's been chasing all NBA stats,piling up points, padding his offense.
And we have asked the question ofmany a basketball luminary on the show,

(12:37):
Hey, is it okay that Lebronhas taken off on the defensive side
to provide this team with offense?And I'd say it's fifty percent people saying
yeah, probably need them to runthe offense. But do they D'Angelo,
Russell, Austin Reeves, Ruey Hachamura. They're having their best offensive seasons right
now, wouldn't it maybe make moresense to have Lebron participate slightly in the

(13:01):
defensive game plan so you don't havethe defensive deficient D'Angelo Russell, the defensive
less than average but nice effort there, Austin Austin Reeves, and the now
defensively deficient Lebron James out there watchingguys shoot one wide open three after another.
Lebron and a d are gonna playmore games this year than they have

(13:22):
since they signed with the Lakers?Yeah? How could that? How does
that team barely make the playoffs?Right, if they make it at all?
How does that happen? They werehealthy all year. They may end
in the play in they may notmake it to the eight seed, and
that does not qualify as a postseasonappearance. You got to make it to
the eight seed to qualify for thepostseason. Could this be the third of

(13:45):
six years that Lebron James misses theplayoffs as a Laker and yet he's supposed
to get some sort of superstar treatmentin the offseason? For shame? Now,
as it stands right now, forshame, they have a twenty one
percent shot at the eight behind theKings and the Warriors, two teams that

(14:05):
own tie breakers against them, andtheir fate is out of their hands.
They need help, and guess whatthe Clippers said, No help for you,
No help for you tonight, Lakers. They're packing it in tonight.
I maybe I may not have thisright, but I think I do,
because the Lakers and the Suns splittheir regular season series at two and two,

(14:28):
so it then flips to division record. And if in fact, the
Suns, which they should win thisgame tonight, with the Clippers resting everybody
because they've essentially locked up the fourseed, they are greater than ninety nine
percent chance to end up with thefour, so they're resting everybody tonight on
the back to back. Suns winthis game, and they are guaranteed to
have a better division record than theLakers, which would be the secondary tiebreaker.

(14:52):
Therefore, you now have the Kings, the Suns, and for all
intents and purposes, the Warriors aheadof you, and they own the tie
breaker in order to try to creepin to that seven or that eighth spot.
Certainly seems like they're gonna end upin the nine or the ten,
and maybe most likely the ten.And have to win two road games just

(15:15):
to be the eighth seed. Whathas to happen for them not to make
it at all? They're in.They are in the play in. Oh.
But again, the play in isnot the playoff. The play in
is just an extra game or twoto see if you qualify to be one
of eight seeds. But that meanswe have an exciting week of despair next
week, or maybe just one humiliatingroad contest, whereas the ten you get

(15:37):
throttled. But that would carry usthrough the week. Yes, because that
Ham's gonna get fired, right,I believe that will take place on the
seventeenth, the nine to ten matchup, or maybe the sixteen, something along
those lines. But congratulations, Lakers, way to scout your opponent. Way
to make sure if we go down, we're gonna go down by the three
point line to this Golden State team, all right, and a have to

(16:00):
beat us from back there. Maybethey take forty one shots from the three,
and if they're gonna make sixty fourpercent of them, then soap be
it. That's how we're gonna losethis thing. Poor geeters catching strays.
Five minute question might not even havebeen there. You might not have been.
Matt's been licking this, Tim Katesalt Lick. We'll be right back.

(16:21):
Sorry, geter if you weren't there, but I thought they said,
let's get out the geeter. Hey, little diversion up here and locker up

I'm as I'm supposed to be.I thought a reputation might be good
business. Here is that again,Petrols? All right, Matt, I

(18:41):
got a couple of movies from thefifties, your favorite decade, fifties.
You love the fifties, the fifties. What do you want to do?
Talk about Brownie? I mean,we have been swimming around in the nineteen
eighties, seventies and eighties while Iknow, Matt, I had to take
a step back, And at firstit was because of the Otawni thing,

(19:03):
and I was like, some kindof crazy scheme, some kind of diabolical
plan. So I watched this movie, Oh I Got You, Okay,
that has a diabolical plan. Andthen somebody stole thirty million dollars in Silmar
the other day in LA and unbelievablybrazen heist that the authorities have no clue
how to solve. And I thinkit fits both with nineteen fifty two's Kansas

(19:27):
City Confidential Okay with John Payne andColleen Gray to household names of the fifties
prequel to La Confidential. No,but it was a prequel to New York
Confidential, Chicago Confidential, and HongKong Confidential. So this movie was starting.
It was very popular. That beingsaid, La Confidential, Different Deal

(19:51):
written by James Elroy, a troubledman who went to Fairfax High School.
Still alive today and still writing.Anyway, you got a sweet heist here
where a guy known as mister Bigis the only guy that knows the identities
of all the bad actors because theyall wear masks when they plan point break
style. Yeah, except the pointbreak guys know each other. These guys

(20:15):
in the masks don't know each otherexactly right, just like the thirty million
dollar heist, the Brazen Heist andSilma I heard not to mention the four
and a half million dollars eight Mitsuharastole from where are you? Where is
he? Silma? Apparently if youstole four and a half million dollars,

(20:36):
you just get to disappear like that. How does that work? Anyway?
This heist has a flower truck stoogedriver because there's two flower trucks and the
driver that's just driving around, guywith a record like delivering flowers get snatched
up by the cops and they freakingbrace him mistaken identity, put the light
on him, and that guy getspissed. That's pain, and he traces

(21:03):
the criminals to Mexico. Wait,the flower delivery guy is so upset that
he was shook down that he's goingto solve the caper. Not only solve
it, he's gonna get his cut. Oh. So he chases him down
to Mexico, finds love and redemption. And like I said, Matt,
after your snarky comment, this filmspurned a series of confidential films New York,

(21:26):
Chicago, and Hong Kong. It'sa quick I thought this was funny.
It's a very quick clip. Thismovie is in the public domain.
You'd be shocked to know so fiftiesthe whole movie is available to us.
But I thought this was funny becauseyou know, guy gets guy gets pulled
out of a truck and your workand the cops take it out on you.

(21:47):
You might swear at him, youmight say some really mean things,
sure, but this is about asmean as it got in the fifties.
When they're like, hey, sorryabout it, man, You're free to
go, all right, Rolf,you can go. Sorry, we had
to detain. You're sorry these thingshappen. Thanks for nothing, go on,

(22:15):
be it. Maybe you didn't hearwhat I said. I said for
nothing. Yeah, I heard you, but but it really wasn't that for
nothing? It wasn't that bad.I don't know what you'd be thanking me

(22:37):
for. We detained you. Thanksis not what I was excited to hear
me the first time I said somethingthat wasn't that offensive to you? For
nothing? That's great, Thanks fornothing. Maybe you didn't hear me.
It happened, Thanks for nothing,go on be it? Maybe to hear

(22:57):
me a Maybe you didn't hear whatI said. I said for nothing?
Okay, thank you. I hadsaid that. You're not really that upset.
I guess, thanks for nothing.Maybe to hear what I sat?
How was work today, sweetheart?Terrible? This guy said thanks for nothing

(23:18):
twice? How was your day?Not bad? Maybe you didn't hear what
I said. It wasn't that bad? Was that in the script? No
yet? Incredible actor? How wasyour dinner allencer? Maybe to hear what
I sat? All right? Thatmoves us on to nineteen fifty five.

(23:42):
Matt, one of your favorites OrsonWelles directed, wrote starved well Really,
this doesn't typically happen for a Worsonnot in the third man Carol read mister
Arcadan or Arcaden nineteen fifty five orand Wells released in Europe as confidential report

(24:06):
a brilliant movie because of Orson Wealth. Orson Wells did this as a co
production between France, Spain and Switzerland. He had that kind of poll girthy
poll. Mister Arcadden. Orson WellsRobert Arden plays a young grifter who tries

(24:27):
to infiltrate the Arcade arcat in worldand falls for his mercurial hot daughter.
The film begins and ends with anunmanned airplane flying into oblivion. How do
we get there? We're about tofigure out. This movie is in the

(24:47):
public domain, So everybody, youguys can watch these movies for free tonight.
You're welcome. Time is not free, Okay to watch Orson Wells in
Kansas City. Cuf. That's acost that goes along with submitting ninety minutes
of your time to something and whatninety day fiance? Sorry? Ooh,
the best lots of great Orson Wellesgeeking it as the mysterious Gregory our catin

(25:11):
here is an example of a storyhe's telling at a part. Now,
I'm going to tell you about ascorpion. This scorpion wanted to cross a
river, so we asked the frogto carry him. No suit, the
frog, no, thank you ifI let you on my vacuum, missting

(25:33):
me in the sting of a scorpionistdeath. Now, whereas the scorpion is
the logic of that for scorpions,and we try to be logical. If
I sing you you will die,I will draw. So the frog was
convinced that allow the scorpion on hisback. But just in the middle of
the river, he felt a terriblepain and realized that after all the scorpion
had stung him. Logic, criedthe dying frog as he started under bearing

(25:57):
the scorpion down with him. Thereis no logic in this. I knows
the scorpion of the content. It'smy character. Let's drink then, yeah,
Mike Getik nineteen fifties, Matt publicdomain made you think, Mike Geedick,

(26:18):
the in fact, I just lovethat there's sixty people around here.
There's many stories like that. Ichose that one. I thought there was
a few others that were worth checkingout. Of course, the movie,
as I mentioned, is in thepublic domain. Unmanned Plane. You're not
gonna give us any peek into whatthe hell happened with the unmanned plane?
Is he on there or not?What's gonna happen with the daughter? Is

(26:41):
she going to accept the grifter's proposalor will she leave with some milk toast
British noble at the end of themovie, fair question. Seems like it's
probably the milk toast British noble,now that you've introduced that character, mister
Winterborne. That's from a different thingname the winter Board from from Daisy Miller,
a study by Henry Miller. Allright, we will be back in

(27:03):
a moment with the Dead and thelive guy. Birthday of the Day.
That was your Petros and Money film. Nowir corner from the fifties. We'll
try to get back to the eightieswhere Matt's more comfortable. They still hated
comedies in the fifties. Matt,come on, Hey Petro, some money,
Hey m five seventy early Sports Liveeverywhere on the iHeart Radio app going
till six thirty. We have Clipperbasketball tonight, Dodgers dropped one earlier to

(27:25):

start a series against the Padres onFriday. So full three to seven tomorrow,
three to six on Friday tonight threeto six thirty with Clipper basketball.
Yeah, we'll have a big segmentcoming up next. Yeah, but right
now, it's time for your deadguy. Birthday of the Day, which
is Jamaican News. It's Jamaica News. Seem Ros doing what's fine. Plasmas

(27:53):
last but turn out always an interestingstory on this day to revisit the story
of Neville O'Reilly Livingston. Bunny Livingstonaka Bunny Wader. Bunny Waler would have
been seventy six today. He diedin twenty twenty one. Kind of slipped

(28:15):
away around that time. Bunny Waylermet Bob Marley as a young man in
a place called Trelawney in the country, and they became lifelong friends and eventually
step brothers. Bunny had a singledad and Bob had a single mom,
and then they moved in together andhad a daughter, started giving it to

(28:37):
each other and then Peter Tosh hada baby with Bunny's sister, which means
all the Whalers were basically related insome way or another. Little incestual,
but hey, little A lot ofthe greats. You know the Fleetwood Mac
cover of Rolling Stone, What areyou Gonna Do? We make great music
and great love together, the threeof that, Marley, Tosh, and

(29:00):
Bunny. Their early sixties recordings asthe Whaling Whalers are pretty sweet, probably
the best reggae recordings of all timeor Jamaican music recordings of all time.
Also right around that time, Bunnydid a Year for Weed in nineteen sixty
seven, for Weed, for Weed, for Weed, for Weed. He

(29:22):
was always the roughest character in theWhalers, Bunny was. He then went
solo after becoming a very reluctant becauseof his Rastafarianism to leave Jamaica, and
made some great albums as a soloartist, not the impactful albums that Bob
Marley was making at the time,but still very good stuff. Blackheart Man
seventy six sings the Whalers in eighty. I bet you can't guess the theme

(29:47):
of that one. I'm gonna guessthis. The Whalers are singing Rock and
Groove in eighty one, Roots Radicks, Reggae in eighty three, Liberation in
eighty nine. That's first one Ibought. He won the coveted reggae in
nineteen ninety. Of course, whatfor a Bob Marley Covers album eye roll
emoji. Jeez. I think Ithink he beat out Pepper that year for

(30:12):
the reggae Grammy memory serves correct.Pepper was a sparkle in John brown Body's
eye that year. Okay, wetold you of the curse He had said
that he put on Leslie Kong,one of the Whaler's og producers, and
basically killed him. Pox on thehouse he did. He was the last
surviving original Whaler. Bought a largeplot of hilly land above Kingston, about

(30:37):
sixty miles west of Kingston, wherehe spent the end of his life growing
corn, smoking marijuana, and conveningwith nature. Those things tend to go
together. He had a series ofstrokes and then it ended up dying a
couple of years back. Terrible,but still remember today, Bunny Whaler.
And I believe my cousin Evan oncetook a picture to him and I was

(31:00):
like, damn bunny Way. There'sa lot shorter than I thought. With
the high bubbo dread, you know, kind of deceive. It adds a
couple of feet six' four withthe afro, You're a live guy.
Pee. Katrina Elizabeth Lascanich Katrina fromKatrina in the Way. Oh, it
sounded like a woman I, youknow, grew up with in San Pedro,

(31:22):
