(03:09):
time for the quick hits. Everybodycome to MS quick hits. I'll make
it quick, y'all. Yeah.The Dodgers are thirty six and twenty two
on the season, and since theyswept the Mets, everybody feels okay,
there's six and a half games.Uh. You know. It's funny because

(03:30):
I did the Fox Sports Radio andso I get to hear all those promos
and all you hear is Cavino andRich promos and Slickhead and Big Dome promos.
And they're like, let's talk aboutthe Mets and more about the Mets.
And here's what I think about theMets. It's like Jesus and it's
like, you know what I wantto talk about to throw that team.
Let's talk about the Mets. Andit's like, God, guys, it's

(03:52):
a lot of Mets. Yeah,Kates, you mean the same Mets team
that has the second highest pay rollin baseball. Just dfaane one of the
relievers and just sit down two startersto triple a correct. Let's talk more
about the men. Yeah, yeah, that's you. You know, you
would be a welcome guest on baldguy in Big Head. You know what
they talk down to him though,they'd be like, well, we know,

(04:14):
you know. They'd be like they'dbe like, we know what they
did, and we know why becausewe talk Mets. It would be like
somebody coming here and try to tellus about the Dodgers. It'd be like,
you get the f out of herebefore we kill you. It'd be
like when Suge Knight guy would comein and try to wrap and they'd get
like two bars out of their mouthand they just beat their ass tang them
out over the balcony, just abunch them in the face. The Angels

(04:35):
are twenty one and thirty five,their last place in the Al West.
They got an education from the Yankeeslosing two out of three to New York.
Tonight they're in Seattle to lose tothe Mariners and learn, here's Ron
Washington. When we lose a baldgame, we got education, and our
education is what he may have takento win that game. And we do

(04:58):
have quality in there. Do that, and here's the juxtaposition. Matt Dodgers
six and a half game lead inthe division. Military Appreciation Night at the
stadium. Military Appreciation Night's a greatnight at Dodger Stadium. They do it
right on the thirty first, righton the cusp of June. And then
this is happening over at Angel Stadium. Protesters protesters, Yes, that's fifty

(05:24):
Angel Stadium concessions workers protested a lackof tip transparency and other issues on the
stadium concourse six twenty pm yesterday,twenty minutes before first pitch between the Angels
and Yankees' most popular series of theseason. They are employed by the Angels
concessions partner Legends Hospitality. They runthe concessions and a lot of stadium's Yankees

(05:44):
Dallas Cowboys. It's owned by halSteinbrenner and Jerry Jones, and the workers
say they were threatened with termination overthe action of protesting. It is workers
who are on their thirty minute break, so they could not, I guess
be docked for not doing their jobs. Well, they protested during their break.

(06:05):
Now, Kate's I know you putthis together. I'm trying to figure
this one out. What what arethey pissed about. They're pissed because they're
not getting the tips they feel likewhen people leave that tip that you always
have to put now fifteen eighteen,they're claiming they're not getting those tips.
People are skimming off the top becausethere's so much And I know about this
because these these crazy credit card tipsor debit card tips where you just push

(06:28):
a button in it. You're notparting with your money. People just do
it because they feel bad and alot of money is made and then the
people that have the business are like, well, this is way too much
to give away for tips. I'mtaking some of this and they skim off
the top and Pop's never figured.And now these guys are onto it and
Uncle Hal and Jerry Jones are gettingfat. This might happen on their brakes

(06:48):
at so Fi Matt because this iswho cool. This is who's so Fi
employs as well well? Not cool. Number one, If you're standing up
when you order something, I'm gonnasay no to the tip. I'm sorry,
I just am. If I'm payingcash, you're getting the change,
whatever that may be. If it'sninety nine cents, you get it.
If it's eight cents, you getit. But if I'm standing up,

(07:11):
come on, man, what ifyou're sitting twenty percent? What if you're
sitting in your car and the Starbucksperson puts a thing or says they're going
to ask you a question on thisyeah, and you stare at the screen.
Did you see the one that theysay? Make sure you look at
the actual number for fifteen, eighteenor twenty percent. That some restaurants will
goose their machines to make that numberbigger than twenty eighteen or fifteen percent,

(07:33):
skimming off the top. It's likean office space. Those pennies add up
exactly right. The finals are set. Celtics take on the MAVs Game one
in Boston next Thursday, I'm sorry, I thought you said next Thursday.
It's next Thursday. By the timethe kids come home for Christmas, and
a day twenty eight the Lakers stilldon't have a head coach. Well,

(07:54):
well, come on, I mean, geez, Cats, we get to
watch here Leads Cottsierglee, we getto watch at Chicago Bears in Hard Knocks,
Matt, first time since twenty eighteenthat a rookie QB will be featured.
It was Baker Mayfield and the Brownsthe last time they did this too.
A rookie quarterback, obviously, CalebWilliams, one of the most recognizable

(08:16):
players already have anyone the Heisman,played for Oklahoma and USC the number one
overall pick, so a no brainerthat the Bears will be featured. Had
an ota workout today. Beat writerskept stats on Caleb, and you'll be
surprised to know he went thirteen offifteen and seven on sevens versus the first
team defense, including a touchdown toDJ Moore. Oh, next thing you're

(08:39):
gonna tell me is Bronny James wentout there and shot the lights out of
the combine. Dog improved his draftstatus from ninety eight to fifty four.
Moved up fifty four spot. Imean you could say he even moved up
more spots than cayleb Williams did,right, a little bit like Caleb Williams
went from like number three to numberone, but Brian Bronny really made the
jump. And he ain't signing atwo way contract. I don't know who
you think you are, Matt.They've tried, uh, rugby guys,

(09:03):
lacrosse guys, basketball guys. Thisis a new one. Olympic gold medal
wrestler Gable Stevenson is signing with theBuffalo Bills, expected to play D line.
He's signing the standard rookie three yeardeal and he's now set to join
Bob Hayes as the only athlete everto win a Super Bowl ring and an

(09:24):
Olympic gold medal the six and seventypounds. Stevenson is expected to play d
line, something he hasn't done duringhis whole athletic career. In fact,
first time he's ever put on apair of cleats and look through a face
mask. So until he gives toa center of freaking hip tackle, Oh

(09:46):
my god, puts him in aheadlock. It chokes him out. There's
a. It's gonna be interesting,and who knows, perhaps his leverage will
be so elite that his lack offootball experience will not be that big of
a deal. And Matt, I'mnot reading this because most of these are
made up names, and I'm notgoing to be insulted by cats. Very
exciting local story. Well, thePomona Pitzer we know, we all know

(10:09):
Pomona Pitzer and what they're doing inCleveland and D three, Matt, But
these other teams, they're all madeup. We are your D three show
of record and Cleveland is where theD three World Series is happening. First
time in Pomona Pitzer history that thebaseball team has advanced to the College Baseball
World Series. They did lose todayto miser of court Missouri Acordia. Yeah

(10:31):
what, Missouri Accordia College. Yeah, tell me you're trying to convince me
that's real. Well, they arethe sage Hens. The Sage sage Hens
now play tomorrow an elimination game versusthe number one overall seed and the cop
Yeah, who is upset by theeight seed? Lynchberg, Oh, the
Lemonade teams. Lemonade team, they'reall drunks. Takes a lot. Missouri

(10:54):
Acordia located in Pennsylvania, by theway, do we know do we know
the pronunciation? Uh, it's miseryCoordia. It's like the sad version of
Concordia. It's like bizarro Concordia.Everybody's unhappy, miss MISSII. I've never
heard of that one, Matt,you know, I mean, yeah,

(11:16):
it's one thing to have McNeese Miseracordia. Well, it is Spanish for mercy,
so there you go. It isMercy College Missiacordia. Well, good
luck to Pitzer and the loser's bracket. It feels like we're a little late
to the story, right, Kate'slike, it feels like we sort of
miss they already. Yeah, they'realready in the elimination bracket. Yeah.

(11:37):
I just redid my LA time subscription. So when I saw that story pop
up, after I paid my dollarfor six months, I put it on
quickets. Isn't that a great value? I got that too. I think
it was like seventy cents for sixyears or something like that. I was
like, all right, I'll signup for that. TJ didn't right there
anymore. I don't know what youwant for those settlements been paid out.

(11:58):
Pairing it off of this six,Hendy's at up, Matt. Just like
the concession workers, they say,exactly right, we'll be back. We
have a top story of the daycoming up next, Matt Muney Smith has
got something on the league, Ibelieve, and don't forget about the Dodgers
coming up Morongo Casino. Dodgers onDeck featuring Tim Kats of Masera Cordia University
at six. Thanks for listening,everybody, The Petros and Money Show on

(12:28):
AM five seventy LA Sports. Happento be with you on AM five seventy
LA Sports. Yeah, that's whatwe do on Mean Dodgers Radio. Dodgers
coming up, Dodgers Rockies tonight.Walker Bueler is on the mound. We
still haven't given away our Las Vegastrip to the Fontaine Blue, so stay
tuned for that and don't forget whilewe're gone over the weekend. You can

(12:50):
always podcast the show on the iHeartRadioapp for your smartphone or stream it live.
But right now it's time for thetop story. Tom. Sorry of
it, Piano, I would say, ut, well, beyond routinely,
just about always you arrive at atthe office before I do, which means

(13:11):
perhaps you are privy to more ofthese conversations than I am typically privy too,
because by the time we get there, we get in the prep zone
when we're there together, and youknow, the one on ones with Tim
Kates are shoved the side for thesake of the show being produced and ready
to roll at three o'clock or whatevertime we get started. But yesterday I
got there a little bit early,there was no traffic, got out the

(13:33):
house a little bit early, andTim and I started yacking. And Tim,
with a cheek packed full of seeds, smacking seeds, shared with me
that he spent some time in thecar and was listening to Colin Coward on
a few different occasions. You know, you get in, you go somewhere,
you get out, you get backin, and maybe the topic has

(13:54):
changed a little bit. And lookam five seven E LA Sports from nine
to in. You got a powerhousethere. He got big boy money.
Shut his head off all you want. He's the guy, right, do
you head off all you guys want, you'd do it. Colin Coward was
playing is he could throw all theChinese throwing stars you want at him?
You know what his download numbers are. Huh, you want to know on

(14:16):
a Thursday, I'll show you thenumber Kate's shared with me that yesterday on
a Thursday, during the NBA's ConferenceFinals, the NHL's Conference Finals, the
MLB season well underway, with theYankees and Dodgers featured as the two most
interesting teams on the twenty twenty fourcampaign, Colin was hammering twenty twenty four

(14:43):
NFL over unders. He was designatingthe seven new teams that will be in
the NFL playoffs and the seven teamsfrom last year that will be out.
Of course, we know the daybefore he was canceling USC Notre Dame Football.
That series is coming to an end, he was. I discussed that
this morning with Brady Quinn, aNotre Dame luminary. I'm sure he's all

(15:05):
for it, right totally. Uh. I believe Kate's. It was also
what some Aaron Rodgers, some RussellWilson. Oh, yeah, Rogers is
Aaron Rodgers and his his his beingthe job of the hut like figure to
the the rat that sits on thefront of his stage. I guess engaged.

(15:26):
Yes, yes, city has crumbor whatever. That got also offensive
line talk. How often right linein the NFL is really deteriorated. That's
offensive line talk because a has changed. You can't practice as much, practice
enough, no time to sync upthose guys. So I use all of
that, and look, I amguilty. We are guilty. We work
in football. It is the sportwe cover closest. But I do feel

(15:48):
the need to preface this one witha pseudo apology or I guess a warning.
So you're saying Colin did it today, so now you're gonna do it.
I Tim Tim Kate's planning the seatlike, hey, you know what,
if he's talking about which guys aregoing to make, which teams are
going to make the playoffs and overunder totals that will not be settled until
Week eighteen has been finished for youto cash that ticket. If that's how
far out he's gonna go, thenI'll be damned. I'm gonna go out

(16:11):
a little bit further. That's whatI'm gonna do. Wow, give me
the sound case, give it tome. My ultimate dream is to get
the Super Bowl, Harry London.Wouldn't be great to have that in London.
Super Bowl in London. Pee,that is what we are going to
talk about today right here, rightnow, in the top story of the
day. Brady and LeVar did anhour on it. Yes, here we

(16:34):
go, let's go, no brainer, two weeks between the conference championships and
the Super Bowl. Get over thereright away, start acclimating to the time
change. The blowback on the Mayorof London, Sadik Khan, has been
swift, It has been firm,and it has been shrouded in old glory.

(16:56):
Oh yes, the red, whiteand blue, the stars and ripes
do not like that short ten secondcomment. One more time case. My
ultimate dream is to get the SuperBowl, Harry London. Wouldn'd be great
to have that in London? Ohwhat what now? Pitch posh. Granted,
I follow a lot of psycho NFLspots that are looking to post content

(17:18):
all day, every day remain relevantthrough an eight month off season, but
this one seems to have gotten quitea bit of traction, as is evidenced
by the Brady Quinn, LeVar Arringtonconversation surrounding it. Why would those guys
talk about it if it wasn't relevant. They're two pros, two pros right
there, there is a poll.Pro Football Talk ran it nearly a half

(17:40):
a million views, some thirty thousandvotes. There is love, hate it,
don't care, don't care nineteen percent, love it, seven percent,
hate it seventy four percent. Ithen decided to do the old social media
search London Super Bowl to check outvariety of comments, which ones are getting

(18:00):
a lot of likes and retweets exactly. Here's some of the the ones that
this is a pretty general thing,good way to lose a fan base.
NFL is an American game. Keepit that way. Football is an American
sports It's biggest game. Better beplayed in America. I believe that's grounds

(18:22):
for treason. Bring money to Americancities. It's our game. We deserve
to profit from it. This isa slap in the face to even consider.
And my favorite one from Bengal Bros. The day of the Super Bowl
in London is played is the dayI stop watching football. WHOA, that's

(18:48):
a lie. Now forgive my skepticismBengal Bros. But I'm guessing by the
sound of your handle and the Bengalshad on your head in front of a
fantasy football draft board, Avatar probablynot gonna stop watching football anytime, any
for any reason. Another great one. If Lennon wants a super Bowl,
tell those losers to fold in theirown league losers. I'll start with this,

(19:11):
if you've never been to a superBowl, just sit it out.
The hell do you care where it'splayed if you don't go? Travel my
point, And they asked me aboutit, like I was supposed to be
all angry. I was like,who goes to the super Bowl? Exactly?
It's like it's a corporate event.Those people are just as happy to
go to London as they are anywhereelse. Who cares. Most people are
gonna watch it on TV like theyalways do. If you want to complain

(19:33):
about the time difference, why thehell would you do that? Most people
got to work on Monday. Imean, it's not like I don't care
about the NFL and the decisions theymake. I'm happy to criticize them.
But who goes to the super Bowl? Yes, exactly, who goes to
the super Bowl? If you've beento a super Bowl, I have been
to many, you know how sadthose crowds are what they've become. There
are a handful of diehards from eachteam that make their way in, but

(19:56):
most of the tickets are controlled bythe league. They are controlled by the
two teams. The two teams givethem to their super Rich Season Suite or
Mega PSL paying ticket holders. Thecrowd is almost always flat. Again,
I've been to a bunch. Iwould know rarely are people engaged in what's
happening. They get excited in thefinal five minutes if it's a close game,

(20:18):
that's about it. I also happento have been to a game in
London. The fans are incredible.They stand the whole game, They sing
the whole game, they make noisethe whole game. They freak out for
every play, a first down,a big run, a big pass.
It was ninety thousand people for freakingTitans Chargers and that's what we got.
They pack the stadium with a crowdthat loves the game. And you know

(20:40):
what, if you are, well, I like to go, then you're
gonna go. If you like togo, then you will go. And
it will probably be a hell ofa lot better than any super Bowl you've
seen here in the last twenty years. You might not have a lot of
money. You might have to sleepin a room that maybe a hooker slept
in. That's possible, a deadhooker. No less, our super Bowl
crowd sucks. That might really upsetyou. That could it could lead you

(21:06):
to ask questions this a week Well, our super Bowl crowd sucks, and
it's likely the London super Bowl crowdwill be all the same people. So
I would hold out hope that theyI mean that at least all the tickets
go to the international audience. It'llbe all well, that'll be all the
corporate people of London. It won'tbe the fan types that get all geeked
about anything. It's the super Bowl. It's going to be whatever it is

(21:26):
wherever. It is, a big, giant, corporate advertising event. But
it has a chance to not beover there, Okay, I mean it's
not the Iron Bowl. It's nevergoing to be. In the last twenty
years, the Super Bowl has beenplayed in Indianapolis and an ice storm that
shut down Dallas Arlington for the entireweek, Well, that was unfortunate.

(21:48):
That was unreceen in Minneapolis when itwas fifteen below zero wind chill all week
long. They played it in Detroitin February of two thousand six, when
half of downtown was blown out,vacant buildings and oil drums with fires surrounded
by hobos in he turned Detroit around. Yeah, box car Willie is no

(22:12):
longer there with his fingerless mittens on. They played it in Jacksonville when they
didn't have enough hotel rooms and hadto park three cruise ships to accommodate all
the people that poured into a city. So yes, UH, there are
far more or far fewer desirable locationsthan the UH as a location for the

(22:33):
Super Bowl in the last two decades. Then London, UH International City.
I like it when they do ithere because they scoop all the hobos up
and then they have to make excusesas to why they did it. Would
they never do it for any otherreason? Why's this prairie edge? It
looked so good off the one offive teather used to be encampments and I
don't know kinds of furniture sitting thereand trash. And he didn't want the

(22:56):
Chinese, that's fair, to seeit. They didn't want to see all
the whole right, Yes, Isay yes, Mayor Cohn to London and
a super Bowl. Tottenham and Wembleyare about ten miles from Piccadilly Circus from
Westminster from all of that action,they are city centric stadiums, and hey,

(23:18):
how about a little something for theteam you win? Catch that bird
to Monaco, go to Majorca,have a party for a couple of days.
Hey, why not, hell Oliverdragging your ass to Vegas, go
to the Seychelles. I mean,why limit yourself here? Exactly right?
So while everybody wants to leonon UncleSam or Sam the Eagle, or this
is an American sport, when youplay the Champions League here is when we'll

(23:41):
play a super Bowl there. Iwould imagine they'd like to play a Champions
League game here. That would bemy guest. They would probably not be
opposed to that if they could sucka bunch of cash out of it.
Ultimately, that's what this will comedown to, and I will not be
the least bit surprised if they figureout a way to do it and extract
the most money that they have everextracted. You know, the conversion rate
for dollars to pound, I meanthat's you know, we're talking about incredible

(24:03):
amounts of money for the league.Thirty pounds packed under the ground. Now,
look you mentioned at the beginning,and I know that Coward is going
to play this tomorrow on his showon this podcast Monday. Yeah, something.
I mean, he's gonna recact hisSaturday podcast he can get sponsors to
because that's a good stuff here aboutLondon. But I think we should,

(24:26):
you know, we should. Onegood turn deserve another. Here's Colin Cowhard
on the deterioration of the offensive line. Offensive lines in football are very much
a cohesion and chemistry play. They'repracticing less. So offensive line play has
regressed badly over the last three tofour years, maybe longer. In the

(24:48):
CBA. They don't practice as much. And of all the units that need
time, of all the individual units, it's probably a line. So the
league is doing it to safety measuresprotecting the quarterbacks. But the players think
they win. Right when you goto the CVA, it's like, oh,
we won. We don't have topractice as much. That's awful for

(25:11):
the LEADU. You want your offensivelineman to practice, how about that right
there? So you can go toLondon, Matt, you can play by
pill Piccadilly and Tottenham or Wimbley,but your own line's gonna suck. Now
that's the reason why, that's why, that's exactly why we'll be back with
your dead and a live Guy Birdiethe day. And here's a hint,

(25:32):
Nerds, we haven't given away ourtrip to Vegas yet to the Fontaine Blue
Nerds. We're the new Boys Nerdssaying goodnight on the Petros and Money Show
on a five seventy LA Sports.Thank you for listening to an interesting week
in great sports talk. But youcan also podcas sports Talk. Do all

(25:56):
the podcasting you need to do onthe app, the Iheartrate App. We'll
be moving around the dial a wholebunch next week, as Matt alluded to
Dodgers with a quick home stand takingon the Rockies. Next last segment,
finally, the last pair of ticketsto the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas given away
right now ten Las Vegas trips inten days eight six, six, nine,

(26:17):
eighty seven, two five seventy.Caller ten right now gets the two
nights the pool side dining at theOasis Pool Deck and the tickets to Blue
Live. So whatever, every nowand then we do it, and today
happened to be that. Yay' that'swhat we say. Whatever what Matt?
You got the Dead Guy birth dated? Ooh, I do have Dead Guy
today? Yes, John, i'lBeion Andrew this is our guide, twenty

(26:40):
fifth governor of Massachusetts, led thestates' contributions to the Union's cause during the
American Civil War. A radical abolitionist, not just someone that suggested the practice
be ended, but a lawyer whoprovided the legal defense of fugitive slaves from
owners seeking their return. He endedthe No Nothing movement of the eighteen fifties.

(27:00):
He opposed and struck down the Puritanled strict prohibition and alcohol laws of
his state and established and this isfor you, Kates, can't do that
to the state of Sam Mahaddams kiddingme? And he established the Massachusetts State
Police, the first statewide police forcein the nation's history. Born in what

(27:22):
is now Maine, back then Massachusetts, Wyndham Happy it would have been two
hundred and six. Johnny, oldestof four d dad ran a merchant business,
mama teacher, homeschooled until his motherdied when he was thirteen, then
sent a boarding school, and thatis where he took to the writings of
William Lloyd Garrison. So he movedto Boston to study law, admitted to

(27:42):
the bar when he was twenty two, and began practicing and immediately joined the
Whig Party, pursued the anti slaverymovement, was part of the group that
established the Free Soil Party, gotmarried. There was a lot of parties
back then, Oh, there were. It was much better. Time.
They'd make up a new party realquick, and it would be like,
you know, the super radical partof one party, and then they'd move

(28:03):
another party. A lot of partymovement well, and as you mentioned,
p a lot of parties. Heorganized the Republican Party in eighteen fifty four,
one election of the Massachusetts General Courtin fifty seven. That's part of
a Republican takeover. He shared theconvention in fifty eight. While he said
he didn't agree with the deeds,he did have sympathy for John Brown's position,

(28:27):
organized the legal fund for his defenseafter the raid on Harper's Ferry.
That did not go well for JohnBrown, but still a powerful force in
the burgeoning Republican Party. He tookhis successor as governor to court when the
man began to enforce those Puritan strictalcohol laws, the strictest in the nation.

(28:47):
Representing the businessmen and hearings before alegislative committee, they struck down those
alcohol laws. It was his lastact. I'm glad he didn't live to
see what's happening at Roland Garros rightnow. It's a real travesty. It
is, it is. He'd bedisgusted. Our man made sure that those
