oh my gosh, look who itis. No, he's been calling me
(03:20):
for two weeks to cuss me out. I wouldn't take that call straight the
voicemail. I called him back finallytoday. Yes, Um, it's Sis
Petrose. It is Matt. Theword of the day, his words the
(03:45):
word of the day. Uh,you know, Matt. People get raided
these days. Police raided. Uh, puff Daddy got raided. Oh yeah,
they raided. Puff Daddy's observed it. We knew puff Daddy was a
bad guy when he swung a kettlebell at the UCLA weight room. Hey,
by the way, how about releasingthat video now? Now that him
beating the absolute hell out of thatpoor girl has been released, Let's let's
finally get our eyes on the swinginga kettlebell? Can we please get that?
(04:11):
You know who else got raided?Matt? Somebody that The Petrosen Money
Show has deep and intense history withSean Kingston. Oh well just ran you
over. He almost ran me over. Now listen, this is saying that
was your fault. It's how doI even work here? Uh. I'm
(04:32):
not saying you can't trust a youngrich man behind the wheel of a Lamborghini,
but we have like you can't trusta young we have lamellow ball that
ran over that kid's leg. Poorkid's foot just won in an autograph and
Sean Kingston came very close to endingmy life in South Beach at the Super
Bowl when I was crossing the streetin a crosswalk and he lost control of
(04:54):
his gearshifts of his rented Lamborghini andalmost blew me up. Now, of
course the true story. A coupleweeks later, Sean Kingston wrecked his jet
ski with a girl on the backinto a pylon on a Florida bridge and
almost died from those injuries. Heis back. He cannot be trusted.
Sean Kingston is from Jamaica, butdoes not do like a Jamaican style of
(05:16):
dancehall singing, although he is thecousin of Bougiu Bontan. But anyway,
they rated Sean Kingston's house. Idon't know. They raided his house and
they arrested his mom, Chernis Turner, and he's facing multiple charges of fraud
and theft. He wasn't home atthe time. I guess he's not paying
(05:42):
out his bills. Somebody put onehundred and fifty thousand dollars entertainment system in
there and he's pulling the old AntonioBrown. I was just gonna say,
that's the ab play who had declaredbankruptcy today. By the way, after
making eighty million bucks in his career. Well that's because some of the baby
mamas are coming for the money andhe got to find a place to bury
that money. But anyway, SeanKingston's home raided. Puff Daddy's home raided.
(06:03):
Sean Kingston almost killed me in thestreets. LaMelo Ball broke a boy's
leg. Where are the connections?Salelosi almost took a Kettlebell almost took a
kettle. He almost took it tothe head. He was able to matrix
his way out. Let's go uc l A. Release Hey, take
some of the attention off the encampment. Okay, release the u c l
A training room. For a yearthat in his haunted house at Yukon,
(06:26):
Jim Morrow watches that video every nightand breathes heavy and asked himself, why
did I bring Puff Daddy's unplayable soncost you your job here to U c
l A. That cost to thejob that wasn't that is it ability to
develop Snoop Dogg and Puff Daddy's sonexactly right. That must have been.
(06:50):
It's time for the word of theday, er number of the days?
All right, Kate, here wego your number of the day. This
is a hell of a develop Ohbeautiful modern English. I met with you
on the Valley one of the greatsoundtracks and the history of soundtracks, Valley
Girl, of course setting them all. It's all about mal culture. And
(07:11):
your number of the day is perone hundred. It is all cyclical.
P Perhaps there is still a chancenow, Am I going to say we
go ahead and roll the dice andbuy an abandoned shopping mall thinking it could
make a comeback. Not just yet, but this is encouraging. I was
reading the Business Week earlier today andthis headline grabbed my attention. The food
(07:35):
court is back, and may Godanswer our prayers and manys to bring back
the food court, a pivotal placefor the youth to establish an identity,
to learn about their character. Yousee someone cute at another table, are
you willing to stand up and gomake small talk over a slice of Smorrow
(07:57):
pizza? Not if you went toSparrow and I went to Baked Potato King.
Right, that's a line that wecan't crow. That's the things that
we would figure out someone giving youbad vibes? Were you looking at?
Were you looking at now some moreinnocent time when you can settle things with
a pair of fists. Now youtake a gut shot. Unfortunately, so
maybe those confrontations are no longer availableto us payosline. But how about this,
(08:24):
maybe, just maybe the malls arecoming back with the food court.
After a dramatic dropping mall traffic duringthe pandemic that never rebounded, they say
things have stabilized in the second halfof twenty twenty three and here in the
first half of twenty twenty four,doubling what it was in twenty fifteen.
(08:46):
Food courts in general, food courtsnow account for nine percent of the mall's
occupancy. Used to be four anda half. It is now at nine
percent. In twent twenty three,they are about five thousand new stores that
opened in malls, but four thousandthat closed. So about even steven restaurants,
(09:07):
fifteen hundred that have opened and almostzero closures. The biggest boom Bubble
Tea. The second biggest boom Koreancorn Dogs. Yeah, somebody at Dodger
Stadium the other day said that theywaited in line for forty minutes for fried
Korean fried chick. Apparently, thatis really moving the needle in the mall
(09:28):
food court. Korean corn dogs andbubble tea. And you could fart so
hard on your way out of DodgerStadium you can hit the gondola. That's
how high you're gonna right now.The anchors are still there. The number
one food outlet in the mall isstill Auntie Annie's Pretzels. Yeah, and
that doesn't even have to be inthe food court. No, it could
be a be a separate food entities. Cinnabon still viable, also separate entity.
(09:52):
New arrival, shake Shack, bigtime player, and the return of
people going to malls. You know, Matt and you know people can't I
tell you enough about what And noone even knew what to call it.
They called it chick Pilla. It'strue because it was at the Dilamo Mall
in the in the nineties, inlate eighties, the chick Pilla also known
now as Chick fil A, longbefore anybody knew anything about it out here
(10:16):
out West. It was in thatDilamo Mall food court, which was made
famous by the great Quentin Tarantino movie, Jackiet Brown. Hey Matt and your
own stopping grounds out in the WoodlandHills Knoga Park area. Yes, I
went there over the holidays and toldyou about the Tapega Social right the old
Westfield Tepega Mall. It's still there, the mall, but they've redone their
food court. They've now got twentyfour different places you can get like Japanese
(10:37):
whiskey. I mean it started overdowntown right on Broadway with the egg slot
and all those weird you know thatfood mall where all the cool people go
to hipster football. Yeah, youcan do that at the mall and people
have pop up places with like smashBurgers. But that's the cham Plates coming
back. Give me another song,Kate's, because I've got a second part
(10:58):
to this number of the day.What is that? And I am glad
you mentioned that, Kates the TapangaSocial because that was purchased by Stan Krunki.
It was the Westfield Woodland Hills.He purchased it for three hundred and
twenty five million bucks. He rebrandedit. It's making a comeback. So
(11:20):
guess what with cheesecake factories doing well? With BJ's and Dave and Busters his
anchor tenants. I started sniffing aroundand what did I find? Well?
Not a lot nine to eighty eightNorth Hill Street in Chinatown could be ours
p for thirty five million bucks onHill Street. It's got a parking garage
(11:43):
on the top sixty four thousand squarefeet below that we could divvy up.
However, we want a fight withGrand Central Market down the street, and
then the Howlan rays Is down isclose to there too. Again, perhaps
this is not our location. Thelittle Jewel is there, Philips. We
do have another mall property, orpotential mall property available in Santa Anna that
(12:05):
is for a cool thirty four milliondollars and it has got ample parking and
it is a little bit more areas, a little more spread out. You
know, I know some commercial realestate types. Uh, And I think
we could really outsmart those guys,Like right now, just throw ourselves.
Think about the stuff that we havepushed all these years. You mean to
(12:26):
tell me old dog of the bigDogs would not want to be an anchor
tenant for a petros and Money mallthe clothing brand. Yes, we could
bring big dogs back. We talkabout Sparrow Panda Express all the time.
Nothing nothing for me here. I'mtrying to put us in the mall.
Bis. Do you realize Westfield SantaAnita sold for five hundred and thirty seven
(12:50):
million dollars and we can pick somethingup for a cool thirty five million and
put our thumbprint, put our markon the mall scene. That seems to
be rebounding. You heard what Katesaid about the Tebanga Social Westfield to Santa
Anita. You mentioned, Yes,David Busters, they've redone it out there.
There could be an invitation from themto bring the PMS show about.
(13:11):
It's our first step. Tommy justpaid you. What do you got in
that wall out of yours? Onehundred and eighty two dollars? Oh we
got more than running? I don'tI think that's no. It wasn't all
that. I have other money inmy wallet. It's not like, oh,
Petrust only has money that Matt gaveme. I have no other cash
(13:33):
source at all. I don't evenknow how he gets here. How does
he get money out of the bank. He's an idiot who wants in Well,
I have one hundred and eighty threedollars short, what thirty four million?
Plus, I think you can buya lot of these things on credit.
You know they're willing to extend alot of credit, especially in a
brand like US is going to relaunchthe mall craze in southern California standalone remote
(13:56):
at the mall. Come on,I can sell my dogecoin. You could
do that. How close are wegonna be then? I mean, I
think essentially we're paying cash at thatpoint, aren't we the doge? The
Doge knows, and we're just gonnaraw dog call these shake shacks and stuff
and the sparrow like, hey,idiot, what do you doing wasting your
time over there in Santa Anita?Gets your ass to Hill Street? Are
(14:18):
we too good town? We're nottoo good for hot dog on a stick?
Hell no, No, Anchor Tenant, I guess we're gonna need it.
The song We're this here? No, No, you know, I
gotta be honest, Matt. Youwant to get in them all business?
No, much like all you're gonnaread this. Your business propositions have been
(14:39):
nothing but loser. That's not true. You tried to get us. Had
we bought the Stickenstein, we wouldhave sold that thing and doubled our money
because they built a fancy, upscaleshopping center there sticking sign not viable,
Petrosen money threatened to open a PMSvis feeling bruise, and next thing you
know, they're like, hey,the vict the VIC beer place that was
(15:01):
Whittier. VIC hats us. Thatwas a downtown Wittier thing because they had
an ordinance where they're gonna leave thebars open later and let's go, h
the Stickenstein. That would have beena good investment on Sepulvi el segundo.
It's like Mayberry's right, Uh,what else did you want to invest in?
(15:22):
Now? You want to buy ashopping mall? Yes, malls are
making a comeback, and we havewe have pined for the comeback of the
mall for for a decade. Wow, Matt, nobody has pushed the return
of them all like the pep.You've involved a lot of people. Now.

band from Denver, Colorado, withour song of the day called Green Eyed
Lady that was a radio hit fromthe year nineteen seventy and a crunchy groove
for a Thursday where the Petros andMoney Show takes a detour through the lush,
(17:49):
budding fields of great sports talk,rolling out of four full hour a
high grade nose to get you throughthe afternoon, giving you that hunger for
off day Dodger talk with our friendTim Cats talking Dodger baseball, along with
a trip down to the farm comingup at seven o'clock. That's right,
(18:10):
long talk, short on results everytime, exactly right. That is exactly
right. You're not serious about buyinga shopping center. You were never serious.
Even when you started that stories andgave your stats, you weren't serious
at all. You're not a seriousbusiness person. Imagine buying it. Fixing
it up, Matt and then setout to Rick Caruso. Great call.
(18:32):

money on something else? Usc everytime there we go, three things Thursday

crackhouse. How profitable is that?Very? And we could do the show

get protection. We'll hire data Monday. See, thanks for being with us

as promised. Real estate mogul LandBaron Matt Muney Smith with the top
(19:37):
story of the day, Three thingsters. It's one thing to be a real
estate magnate, and it's another tobe the guys that resurrected mall culture in
America. I just got a text. You would not just be real estate
(20:00):
moguls. I just got a textfrom commercial real estate dad. What do
he saying? And he's not justany real estate dad. He's responsible for
the Gelsons and Manhattan Beach okay,and they hate him. This is a
real player. He just wrote.Roll to the cigar lounge right now and

not? I'm here? Well justgo take off. Who needs the next
(20:22):
two and a half hours of theshow. We're gonna bring them all bad.
These are what the real estate guys. He belongs to a club with
a thumbprint and the cigars and allthat. That's that's how you become real
estate, dad, That's how youdo it. Commercial realis. These deals
are done over cigars. That's whatyou need. It's time for the top
(20:42):
story of the day, the ThreeThings. Thursday starts here. I saw
something today that disgusted me. Itdid it disgusted me. It didn't disgust
me. I've never discussed I'm anafterthought. It disgusted me, and maybe
it makes me a bad guy.Maybe it suggests that I just want to
see someone fail, and that isnot the case. Who do you want
(21:03):
to fail? I don't want Bronnieto fail. I want the coverage of
Brownie to cease. I wanted tobe fair and balanced Bronnie Rob Dillingham.
If it was fair, there wouldbe no coverage. No, you're right.
If it was balanced, there wouldbe no coverage. It's fair point.
Instead, there's a lot of coverage. Rob Dillingham, Justin Edwards,
(21:25):
kJ Simpson, also Ego, Daro, Terrence Shannon, Junior, Ulrich come
cha. That is the draft clashfor Clutch Sports. Those are their draftees,
those six guys. Dillingham is topten across all mock drafts. ESPN
(21:45):
just put them at four to theSpurs. Justin Edwards consensus first rounder.
If Terrence Shannon wasn't charged and wouldnot be going to trial on a sexual
assault allegation, he'd firm be inthe first round and still might end up
there. Uh. Com Cha isa borderline first high second, kJ Simpson
(22:07):
high second could creep into the firstround and Igodoro is locked into the second
round. Bronnie is missing from nearlyall of those mock drafts. Of those
six, if you were to saywho has the worst draft prospects, it
would be Bronnie James. Would itbe close, No, it would not
(22:27):
be close. And yet what arethe headlines? As you like to say,
here are the headlines. Clutch Sportsheld their pro day at the Lakers
facility and Bronnie James shined. Whatyes, that is an actual headline.
Uh, and here is the video. Now there's there's not a lot of
(22:51):
there's there's very little speaking copy.But I want you to understand when Dad
owns a production company, they canturn around a hype video on you right
in a minute. So this isthe agency's We talked to Don McClain.
They had their CIA Pro Dad andwe can't even get a T shirt right,
So they have their pro day andat the Clutch Pro Day, Anthony
(23:18):
Davis, lebron James, Zach Levine. Rapper. Is there a rapper by
the name of Cameron? Yes,Yes, Cameron was there, And well
he was just on CNN talk abouthow I was going to get in those
cheeks. Okay, he drank thehorsepower horny goatweed on CNN. He gulped
it on a mic, right,and then he got all mad and ejected
(23:41):
the interview because he didn't like themasking him questions about p Diddy and they
didn't weren't asking him about his podcast. That's why he was this man.
And then he drank the horny goatweed and said he was going to get
in them cheeks, and the CNNlady was like, why I do not
have that Cameron that was this week? But what I do have is this
Clutch Sports Bronnie James Pro Day.This is for gms. All thirty gms
(24:06):
are in attendance, but we let'salso get Cameron in the house. So
as he's going through his shooting drills, this is what it sounded like where
(24:37):
the train. Yes, there yougo, pause it there you hear that.
So it's hard because you can't seeit. It's hard, man,
it's hard to follow on the air. But after every made shot you would
hear yes, sir, oh yeah, clapping, Yeah you did, you
(24:59):
did? Ask MC in a veryMedvedev way, this is normal, right,
and he said no, it's notnormal. They have parents and friends.
Let's go. You know that.Thank you, Kates. I think
that comes across all thirty gms.All the West Coast based agencies are having
(25:27):
their pro days in one hour shiftsand when Clutch Sports has theirs, they
got us working at shifts. Theylet Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Zach
Levine and Cameron in there to cheeron one of the six Let's drink my
horsepower right now, I'm get inthem cheeks later to cheer on one of
(25:49):
the six Clutch Sports prospects. AmI am I a bad guy? Like
I a bad guy for saying isn'tthis weird? But it like if I
ever went like I didn't do theUSC pro Da because being crippled and all.
But if I showed up to USCPro Day in two thousand and I
(26:10):
brought like the y I brought theyell leaders. Yeah, and they're like,
s oh, you t a tall right? See hey, oh
if right, but they only doit for you, right, only mate,
none of your other teammates. They'reonly They're like, oh, well,
you know what, Hey, youknow what, Matt, I'm gonna
(26:33):
do it weird. I'm gonna dowhat you do to me. I'm gonna
flip the script and I'm gonna sayit right now. Take it a step
further. Yeah, what's wrong withthe dad supporting his son? I like
it. I like seeing Lebron,one of the most famous people in the
history of the world of sports,showing up with Savannah all that he's given
to this game a d zach levine. Is it so wrong? Dressed like
(26:57):
he's in a boy band, everythingthat he's given to this game for us
to pay attention to his son tryingto realize his dream Cameron again. And
by the way, I like tosee Lebron in the sands as a proud
dad. Yeah, thanks congratulations.Tweet that don't bring it to NBA Live.
Yeah, how dare you? That'sa show in Bronnie James shines at
(27:22):
Clutch Pro Day. We got toreally cheer for Bronnie to make these NBA
gms who don't know no better thinkthat something really cool is going on.
As Don McClain said, Ryan Edwardsanalytics the best of any draftee of the
last ten years, and there's nocoverage of that. When I write in
NBA Pro Day, cricket dead everytime he made a shot cricket and I
(27:44):
read Lebron NBA Exacts. Watch Bronnie'sDraft Pro Day at Lakers facility. It
was not Bronnie's Draft Pro Day.It was every West Coast based agencies draft
pro Ryan Edward's gonna go top ten. Don McLain again, best defensive prospect
that they've had in a decade,and the headline is Lebron and NBA execs
(28:08):
watch Broni's draft pro day at Lakerfacility. That's what the takeaway is.
Hey, it's a pro day,it's six other guys. Why cannot cheer
for my kids because it's a prodethat's closed to the public. Somebody,
(28:30):
I know it's against enthusiasm. Sorry, I'll get through these quickly. Uh,
I'm a bad guy. You're justa bad guy. This is kind
of weird. The other five guysnobody cheered for. It was very quiet.
Now that sounds like a man goingy, but that actually is Ramona
Shelburn to shat the scouts in theGMS right down, really got the crowd
(28:53):
involved. Only guy that got thecrowd involved of all the produce. And
I thought about that in our buildingin Atlanta, and I had to take
them number one second, I shouldhave asked you for the sound case.
But whatever my quote reading will haveto do. Appearing on the Dan Patrick
Show earlier, Charles Barkley unloaded onWarner Brothers and Discovery executives. He called
(29:19):
them clowns, called his bouse's clownsfor how they have handled Yes, I
saw our negotiations with the NBA andsaying that they don't need the NBA,
and that that pissed off Adam Silver, and that it's very likely they lose
and that morale has at an alltime low around the inside the NBA set
and around the studios and that reallyupsets him. And Charles said he well,
(29:44):
he's going to follow through. Hesaid, I've talked quote, I've
talked to the guys about everybody signingwith my production company because I have my
own production company. I would loveto do it if we lose the NBA.
Somebody actually suggested it to me,to be honest with you, So
Charles, why don't you sign thesethree guys, four of us in total,
(30:04):
to my production company and sell itas a package. And I thought
that's a great idea. So itsounds like Charles perhaps being proactive. If
they lose it, we're a packagedeal. My production company's got all the
guys from the inside the NBA atTNT. You simply hire us, just
do it out of the build usa studio that looks just like this and
(30:26):
Amazon, NBC. You can justhave all of us because my bosses are
clowns. So good on Charles forbeing a little proactive and suggesting, so
what we'll do. As big ofa personality as he is, this might
be over his head? What yep? What might not be able to call
the shots on this one? Yougotta be kidding me? Almost like the
(30:47):
same as as big of a basketballplayer as Lebron is, this getting his
son drafted when his son's out aprospect might be might be just a litting
off a little more than he couldtry under the I like to see Lebron
in the sands as a proud dad. Exactly right. Well, good low
And Third, Dan Waki wrote avery long article in the La Times.
(31:12):
Is zach Wike is that Ramona andwake together they are all cheering on the
idea that the Lakers will hire JJReddick and that that will make Lebron James
happy, that will get him tosign an extension. And he did point
out that in fact, he isnot involved with the hiring process. However,
(31:33):
his body language and his presence isenough to send signals to the Lakers
about what they should do. Ibelieve, he said, uh, look
at it as him not operating asan employee, but as a shareholder,
as someone who holds an incredible amountof shares of the Lakers and making sure
(31:56):
that your largest shareholder is pleased withyour hire. Maybe I just have to
stop forcibly holding my legs closed likeI've been for so long and just open
them, flop them open, andlet the king nail he likes because he's
doing it anyway. Well, I'mjust gonna go up the country. I
(32:17):
gotta say this, I would wantto. I love I love the shopping
mall. I mean, I'm fromborn and raised in southern California and we
are a mall chill culture. Mallis everything. And uh, I still
(32:38):
do not see it as a viablebusiness venture because it's been such a failing
endeavor. It just doesn't say failureof it. But now that things have
leveled off, you know how itis, the pendulum always swings. Everybody
thought they just wanted to box dropdown their doorstep, and now we lack
human connection, we lack a salespersontelling us something to think about. I
(33:00):
live right by the Dilamo Mall andit's constantly being attacked by calculated and organized
groups of crazed teens, and thecops have to fight down Warren crime all
the time. The Torrents Police hasto mobilize. You don't think Tim Kates
is all in on that. Iwas just gonna say law and order every
time he got Kates running our mallsin. I mean, can he be
a real cop? No? Canhe be a freaking mall cop. Yes,
(33:23):
he would even be the best mallcop in the history of mall coph
I mean, our death rate willbe so high. Here's my problem.
I could say, dead man,don't talk. That's a slogan as a
mall stop resisting zip ties all dayzip tiz. I Uh. If I
(33:46):
were to say I'm in, let'sexplore this, nothing would happen. You're
supposed to meet with your real estatecommercial real estate dad at a cigar bar
today to listen, everybody complain aboutLittle League Baseball. Nobody wants us to
own a shopping mall. No one'sgonna buy us anything. They won't buy
us T shirts. But with thatattitude. They sure I came by this
(34:07):
attitude. Honestly, Matt Kfi hasgot twenty producers working on one show.
That's right. We gotta do thingsourselves. We got to buy the abandoned
mall, and they bought the mall. Everything would right. We got to
stick our neck out, we gotto put our nuts on the line.
Let's not be afraid of failure.We'll be back. Yes, we've already
(34:34):
failed repeatedly for one report coming inthe very next segment, going all the
way until seven pm before Tim Katestakes over with off day Dodger Talk.
You know, Matt, we've hada lot of speculation today. It started
out with kind of an uncomfortable exchangewith Victor Brick after I was admonished by
(35:00):
a mutual friend about his treatment onthe show. So we had and I
apologized. We really celebrated me.We tried, I mean, but then
I felt kind of weird about ittoo, you know, I don't know.
And then we talked to Don McClainand that was really good. And
then we took a lot of textsabout Victor Brick, and then we did
(35:22):
a word and Number of the day, and Matt started talking about how he's
going to buy a mall. No, we're going to buy them all and
I can't do this on my own, and then we did three things we
can't do it together, and thenhe did three things Thursday, talking about
Brownie James and Ramona and wiki andthat crew. Hooray. You know why
(35:43):
you gotta profession hate hate hate hatehate. Hey hey hey hey. Pro
day is short for professional. Itdoes not feel professional. Right now,
we talked about how Sean Kingston almostkilled me in a Lamborghini many years ago.
Uh. Here's the couple of texts, Matt. This one says,
brought to you by your so calledToyota dealers. We make it easy and
(36:04):
this can go back to like dirtysex jokes, pack ten talks, and
stupid movies from the eighties. Next, Matt is going to give you advice
on investing in movie theaters and newspapers. He is pining for the days that
no longer exist. I read itin Business Week. The mall, particularly
the food court, is making acomeback, a strong comeback. People need
(36:30):
engagement, they need the human touchagain. It It doesn't mean they're gonna
get it. If I can geta Sanrio store, well you're gonna get
it. You're gonna get it.You're gonna you already have one tenant.
You're gonna get a van store inthere for sure. Right I heard Colberger.
Coltbergerfe yoga smith is just salty.He doesn't have a son. Who
(36:52):
is the pre presumptive number one pickof the NBA draft. Brawny equals.
You figured me out. You've crackedthe code. I would love to help
you brand the Petros and Money Mall. Great sports talk, better deals,
(37:14):
great sports talk. What we gotyou doing, not must and what they
got you doing? The Petros andMoney Mall where dreams go to die.
Sweet James can have a satellite officeand barber shop. There done. Fat
Burger, scort may reboots, FatBurger, Coldburger. Gonna be tough to
(37:36):
choose. Fat Burger, What what? Then? I'm out? Then go
ahead and do it with Roger Lodgeor your boy Stamos. See if Stamos
wants to do it, you don'tsay all their names. Do it with
Stamos. I never liked Stamos.William you you stand on nothing, Michello.
That's right. We'll be right backwith the F one report. Stay
(38:00):
with us. Oh my god,Rockford, now this is unreal.
