Speaker 2 (02:14):
Fun fact.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
The Imperial House of Bonaparte has continued to keep track
of Napoleon's bloodline, just in case France ever decides to
put power back into the hands of the dynasty.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Let's go, I mean, you know what I mean. Right,
do it?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Why not shake it up?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Macron? I mean, the last time Napoleon was here in
California was over at San Dimas High with Bill and.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Ted and how that ends.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
They're great. They had the greatest freaking project ever.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
The the Emperor, if in fact be excellent to each other,
was put back on. Dude, If in fact power is
put back into the hands of the dynasty, the emperor
would be Jean Christophe Prince Napoleon, presently an investment banker
in New York City.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Okay, San Dimas High school football rule, It is time
for quickets, some ms, quick hits. I'll make it quick, y'all.
Oh yeah, The Dodgers are off tonight and my hips
doon't line ninety three and sixty three. They had their
(03:25):
thirty games over five hundred and they still got to
battle the Dads. At the end of the year. They
start a three game series versus the Padres starting tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
It's gonna be crazy, guys, It's gonna be wild. It's
why I called it the Wild Wild NL West. Well,
it's wild may be fair.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
That was last year's promotion, and last year the Dodgers
ran away with the spoon.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Wow this year. This year, it's wild. Let's go, guys,
let's go.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, it's wild. But where are you? Well?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Maybe out of the country. I mean we're here toilet,
maybe washing my hair over a hot stove.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Show how Tony watch continues even though he's.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Funny me shoe hale Tony Tony Watch.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Well, he has fifty three jacks and fifty five stolen bases,
fifty five fests and his ninth inning blast yesterday was
a real boner.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
The swings hits, a.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Drive right center and deep. He's tied it up. Show
hel Tenny home run number fifty three, a game tying
homer in the bottom of the ninth.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Can you believe this guy?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
He is unreal? The big show with a big blast
here in.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
The ninth it's a five five ball game.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Oh how do you like that? Really? Leaning on the show?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Ricky there? Huh what?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Sorry?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Fell asleep?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
A big show with a big blast with a wrestling
thing anyway.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Oh and that's it, Kates, we just we're gonna be
that show now. I just tied it up. What about
the game winner? Freaking Mookie Bets blast one hundred and
one mile an hour, freaking piece of cheese, and all
we care about is Otani's individual accomplishment.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
He pregame to night hits the mookie.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
He swings hits a drive deep left.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
It's heading back.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
To the wall. This ball is done.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
It's done, it's gone.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
A walk up winner for mookie bets and.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
The Dodgers come on the way back to win it
sixty five bets with a blast and a Molkie moment
on a Sunday and groan and the Dodgers win their
ninety third game of the season.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Oh what a beautiful ending.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
On a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Dodgership.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Ran right.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Back to back home runs in the bottom of the
night handle. The Dodgers take this series two games to one.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Track the games over three games, a handle of pine.
I've already made my way to the parking.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And fens. You asked for it, Matt. There was a
time that the Dodgers are so broke that they decided
to share a facility with the White Sox.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
It is really something right.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
They've now made history the White Sox. They've lost one
hundred and twenty games this season, and that's tying one
hundred and sixty two New York Mets.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
They were all basically alcoholics.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Perhaps for the most losses in a single season since
the modern era of baseball began in nineteen hundred.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I'm going on a three day bender.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Well not yet. You got six days laughed in the
regular season. It's more likely that they will set a
new record for losses in the coming days.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
And the Dodgers share worth what is it now, three
and a half four billion dollars the Dodger franchise and
they share a spring training facility with that team?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Is how this is going?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Right? Yeah, we're good.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Hey, what do you know us about that wood on
that side over there? Look at her, it's rotted and
it's warm wood. Now look on the other side, what
do you knows that you'll see that wood is very
finished and beautifully medicure.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
There is a distinct difference, as you can see between
the two facilities, even though it shares the same plot
of land. Perhaps you boys want to talk about certain
conspiracy theories. Memphis two, Land and US half decided to
not join the PAC twelve. They will remain in the AAC,
which means the PAC twelve is going to turn their
(07:48):
attention to the unlvs of the world and more western.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I want South Florida in the freaking PAC twelve.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Neither do I regional Baby, Let's go give Northern Arizona call,
see what they're up.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
No Lumberjacks, Let's see what the other jacks are out.
Gonzaga is reportedly leaving the West Coast Conference and join
the PAC twelve basketball only. They still need a minimum
of two football members by twenty twenty six, but Gonzaga,
even without a football team, will receive a full conference
revenue share in the PAC twelve, according to Brett McMurphy,
(08:23):
because you know, their basketball program's got such a long puzzo,
reaches all the way to Seattle from Spokane.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
And now wouldn't the with Saint Mary's. I guess that's
really all you got. I'm trying to think, well, who
would in the new PAC twelve. Oh, San Diego State, Yeah,
there you go, two heavyweights.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Love it. The PAC twelve will now look to add
other schools UNLV, Utah State. If you add UNLV, you
might have to take riddle.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I wouldn't be opposed to that.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And you wonder why Reggie Bush hasn't led the team
out for you know the fight on stuff this year. Well,
he's suing the school and the PAC twelve and the
nc double A. Reggie wants to secure compensation for past
use of his name, image, and likeness while he played
for USC. His legal team points out that all three
(09:11):
entities earned significant compensation on the back of only Reggie
Bush's effort. Nobody else was on those teams. Among the
revenue streams they identify our TV contracts, merchandise sales, and
I don't think they had a very good contract when
Reggie was anyway, not like that, not like this, No, no,
it's not even I mean, I was doing those games
for God's sakes, media rights. It's all because of Reggie Bush.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, well, everybody knows that.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Most athletes at the time, he did not receive any
direct compensation from the university or NCAA for his play.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
When you sign a letter of intent and then you
sign your scholarship, right you kind of one of those
things are spelled out in there.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
When will the victimization of Reggie Bush end? When will
Reggie Bush stop being victimized by this evil system?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I mean, when he's talented enough to have a second career. Ooh, damns.
We've got Monday Done football coming up, and AU.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Have ruled out the red carpet and given you prime
slots on their broadcast.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Given you every opportunity to be successful. And you've been
such an a hole talking about Reggie budh.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Yes, and have mailed in your preparation. And you think
you got awful on the broadcast.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
You think USC wants him around after they're suing him,
You think they wanted him around before that. They know
what he's out for. He's the grabbing hands and grabbling
the camp NFL coming up next, will have a lot
of talk in the top story of the day as
Matt was out in Pittsburgh with the Chargers, and we
will have dead and a live guy Birthday of the
Day after that, Stay with the Petrosen Money Show on
(10:46):
AMFI seventy LA Sports, your home of the Dodgers and
NFL football tonight. Thanks everybody for listen listening to The
Petros and Money Show on AM five to seventy LA Sports.
It is of course a Modello meets a lot of
(11:07):
Monday on the Petros and Money Show. Hashtag Modello USA.
Please drink responsibly. We got Monday Night football Yes, baseball,
and the biggest series of the year is back tomorrow,
as we have told you repeatedly, and we're hitting the road.
We are broadcasting live Mat nine. We're going much more
than forty one years down the ten, but it's less
(11:31):
than ninety minutes Marongo Casino Resort and Spaw on Wednesday
from three to six. We'll have prizes on site including
Dodger Padre tickets, Charger Chief tickets, UCLA Oregon tickets, gas cards,
and a two hundred and fifty dollars Morongo Casino gift car.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It is time for the top story of the day, top.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Story of Well, it ain't college football, that's for sure.
The NFL is a week to week league one loss
does not dictate terms, although I guess this year we're
gonna see that change in college football with the twelve
playoff teams.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
But yes, it just depends on how who you lost to,
exactly who they lose to. Later yesterday bore that out
in space.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I was watching a game like a Boise State or yeah,
Boise State game. In the announcer Spencer Tumble was like,
and we will see what happens with Oregon down the road,
and perhaps it will help them or perhaps it will hurt.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yes, it'll be one of those two things. It will
either help them, Spencer, or it will hurt them. In
the case of the Bolts, it's not even week to week,
it's half to half. So we'll start there with.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
The three blown out. Whatever happened to this straight coach man.
Everybody got blown up.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Everybody got blown up, and then sometimes two I mentioned
on Friday.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Later got blown up. Herbert got blown up.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Literally, their three best players all got blown up. I
mentioned on Friday that Harball might be the one guy
that could stand in the way of Herbert being the
type of player he is, insisting he played through any
and all injury.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I thought of when I saw him limping around.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Out there to give it everything he has, however much
or however little, just wants to go out there do
everything he can to help his team win. And from
being in a boot on Sunday through Wednesday to practicing
in a limited capacity Thursday and then deciding Saturday at
the walkthrough that he was all good, it was kind
of hard to argue with the decision. After one half
(13:23):
of football, Herbert stayed out of harm's way, had a
passer rating of one hundred and thirty through his fourth
touchdown of the season, orchestrated a field goal drive. They
gave the Charges a ten to seven lead at the
half a half they had dominated, held the Steelers to
three three and outs, fourteen yards rushing on nine carries,
and were it not for the forty two yards they
allowed while playing prevent D to bleed the clock the
(13:46):
Steelers making it to the Chargers forty eight for a
sixty two yard field goal attempt, they would have held
Pittsburgh to seventy one yards of total offense in the
first two quarters. Now I learned this in the college rank,
but it was the opposite way, and that is, if
there were a fifth quarter in football, maybe a win
(14:08):
could have been eked out or likely would have been
eeked out.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Ain no tell him now what could have happened in
that one on this front.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Unfortunately for the Chargers, football is four quarters and not two.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, and that really is universal.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yes, well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
You know, things are always changing, they say, the game
up down around cyclical. The next two quarters were a mess.
The Steelers were able to tie it up on the
possession out of half, but still a bend, don't break
performance three and out for the Bolts negative five yards.
They get an interception three and out negative four yards,
(14:44):
and Justin Herbert and Rashaun Slater are lost. The ensuing
drive was the killer three penalties each on third down
that could have got the defense off the field given
that group arrest, but instead Derwin face mask Khalil mack
rough in the passer on what would have been a
fourth and two instead of a first and ten at
(15:04):
the twenty six in field goal range, undisciplined play in sloppy, sloppy, undisciplined,
and then a PI on a play that ended in
a sack that could have got the Chargers off the
field where the field was eighty degrees sixty percent humidity
and a series sooner. By that point, the defense had
been on the field for all but three minutes of
the third and the entire first two minutes of the
(15:27):
fourth quarter, and the floodgates opened busted Calvin Austin fifty
five yard touchdown, two score game way too much to overcome.
The defense on the field for twenty of the thirty
minutes in quarters three and four, and it showed they
were able to win the first half despite losing Joey
boss on the first series.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Wow, what happens there? Mick cronin, What are the type
of people that talk about tell yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, I'll tell you exactly who they are?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Who talks about winning the first half?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Brother losers talk about we were winning.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
At halftime, Well, color me a loser along with Joey Bosa.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
The second half saw them lose their left tackle. Someone
who's in the conversation is the best left tackle in
the league. They had allowed zero sacks on the first
half to Cam Hayward, Alex high Smith and TJ.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Watt.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Herbert barely had to move, he barely got touched to
Slater leaving and Herbert getting absolutely obliterated on two sacks
won by Nick Herbig another Landon Roberts. Speaking of Herbig,
they also have what's his name?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Benton? Keanu Benton.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
If the Steelers, if you find out they're gonna fly
someone in from Wisconsin for a visit, you might want
to go ahead and get him on your radar. They
got like five Wisconsin guys who are all out of
their freaking minds playing on that defense right now. The
one from a Landon Roberts, though not a Wisconsin guy
knocked Herbert out of the game. So your three best
(16:52):
players are gone for the fourth quarter. And yeah, you're
gonna lose. You're gonna lose to a really, really good
Steelers defense that have been trading blows with the Bolts
all first half. But loss in the NFL is not
that big of a deal. They play seventeen games now, yeah,
who cares, there's fourteen more they got to buy after
the Chiefs game on Sunday the Bengals, and they're pi
(17:15):
against the Chiefs. The Falcons and their inability to close
it out and kick field goals and keep going forward
on fourth down. The game on Sunday could lead to
a three game deficit if they can't get this one
against Kansas City, you slipped it two and two, the
Chiefs improved four and zero. They win the road game
in La, meaning you gotta win an arrowhead just to
hope you have the next tiebreaker to get the division.
And now you wait and figure out who can play
(17:37):
on Sunday who can't. And still, unlike the feeling of
losing in Week three or four in college football and
wondering whether or not this could be good for them
and could help them. I don't know, this could be
bad for them. I'm and hurt them. There is still
plenty of time. They still have a two on one record,
second place in the division. They currently sit in the sixth,
(17:59):
while the Cards slopped behind the Jets right now if
the season were but three games instead of seventeen.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
So there's that.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Speaking a week to week League Raiders home opener, coming
off a monster win against the Ravens on the road,
a chance to improve to two and one.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Now, this is a spoonful of sugar that'll help your
beticon go down. Matt.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, it was kind of both, you know. I really
thought they would dominate the Panthers. It would have given
me my first perfect three and zero week, So that
was kind of a little bitter for me. They get
the Browns next week, they get the Broncos a week
after that, and they just got jumped from the kick.
I played for all sixty minutes, never got back into it,
never made it a game, never put it in balance.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
So much where no one can play quarterback ever for
the Panthers. Right, pretty much all you need is old firecrotch.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Fire crossed stinky bever with his high top fade, sweet
lit match head of hair like Mountain West, TC you beautiful. Inexplicably,
the Raiders gave up four hundred and thirty seven yards
to a team that had four hundred and six total
in the two games prior.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And we're out there making business decisions. Man, let's hear
at ap got to ask.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Well, we got we gotta put pads on. I mean,
you gotta get on a slid. The same group that's
you know, for the most part, all come back and
same techniques saying coaches, it's not a different scheme. So
you know, obviously we gonna have to coaching better and
be you know, be you know, some hard asses on
the guys and guys gotta take some rough coaching because
that just didn't see that coming on either side of the ball.
We thought he had opportunity to run the ball and
(19:34):
we didn't. We didn't do that all. I mean, we
tried and tried and tried, and just out of Buddhas too.
There was definitely some individuals that made business decisions that
will make business decisions going forward as well.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Oh well, who else was on the team, Like what
did you already build a team, I.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Went business decisions out there. I am going to make
a business decision right now, not block you after the
Bolts had nearly two hundred yards on the ground. Alvin
Kamara had one of the greatest games of the last
three years of his career in Week one. The offensive
line of the Panthers wrecked by both the Saints and
the Chargers. And you got Max Crosby. Now he's dealing
(20:09):
with a high innkle sprain himself, but still he's the
best pass rusher in the league. And for whatever reason,
they could not get anything. Antonio Pierce. Of course, AP
as they call them, fiery, emotional out of Buddhist too right,
high highs lo lows for AP and for a team
that beat the Chiefs last year on Christmas Day as
his signature wins, something Andy Reid thanked Antonio Piers for
(20:30):
in their march to the Super Bowl victory. Thank you
for allowing us to be introspective and assess where we
were as a team prior to going into the playoffs
and cleaning up some things that you exposed for us.
That his signature win. It is important to remember that
he did lose to Tyson Baigen in his first start
with the Bears thirty to twelve. They did lose a
(20:52):
game three zero in twenty twenty three, three to zero
to ask.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Yeah. I also heard that they lost to Joel Jeff Saturday.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah, although I don't think that was him.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Wasn't that now?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
That was McDaniels, right, because that was two years ago,
that the Jeff Saturday experiment.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I don't know, man, I was reading on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
But here, how about this? As it stands right now
at one and two, they own a tiebreaker that has
them slotted as the number seven and final wild card
postseason playoff participant. If only the season were but three
games instead of seventeen, yes, the Raiders would be in
(21:33):
the playoffs as well. Bounce back against the Browns, gonna
win in Denver and all as well. Finally, Rams week
to week League Week one ot nearly knock off one
of the Super Bowl favorites. Following week at forty one
to ten, get absolutely blown off the field in the
first quarter in Arizona, team that could only score ten
points yesterday and after falling behind early two touchdowns to
(21:53):
the forty nine ers, your reigning NFC champions, Matt Stafford. Sorry,
Matthew Stafford rallies scores thirteen unanswered in the final frame
to avoid the zero and three start. They send the
forty nine ers to one and two, and they do
it completely decimated by injury to their own line, to
their secondary, to their receiving corps. I mean, my god,
(22:14):
they're leading receivers five ft six, one hundred and forty pounds. Impressive,
Sean McVay. Impressive, Matthew Stafford week to week league man,
week to week League.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I don't know, really, have you If you've you know,
you've made that an indelible point and illustrate that right here.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Who knows what's going to happen for the Raiders when
they take on the Browns?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Well, what about them three dudes? Did they all hurt
forever or what? And Joey Bosai and his.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Him I will say in the case of I mean,
Justin told us it was a high ankle spraining on Friday,
So you know what that.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I'm sure you've had one. It's not like those things
go away anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Nope, It'll be hurting for months and months.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah, So it's just a matter of can you play
with it? Can you not? Bosa had the same hit
against the Panthers, managed to play the whole game and
for whatever reason, couldn't play but three snaps. I don't
like the idea of a pex strain that saw Rashawn
Slater go back out there, take two reps and immediately
(23:13):
come off the field.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
That didn't need to blow a bicep too. He did, yeah,
like two years ago.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Tool, So there you go, first team too, Swolf.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
That's a state of affairs, all right, this week two weekly.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
It could only be worse. It's a special week for
the Dodgers with the Padres coming in. No game tonight.

Him being from the Caribbean, he started playing with the
Calypso Icon Sir Lancelot, and Sir Lancelot was a big
time star like the Mighty Sparrow guys like that. The
band that played him and two other guys were called
the Holy Trinity yep for Lancelot. When Lancelot died, Matt

it so right and bought the soundtrack. First part gets
slipped like the crow. Yeah. He won the Saturn Award
for Best Director. A Masterpiece was the follow up, though,

the matrix. His film Dark City, all the Best, the Best.
