because we're going to football tonight.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
It is an election year, and on the Petrosen Money Show,
we like to pay attention to the elections, but only
the very local elections.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Down ballot. That's what we are, baby, very little of
which we understand. Bottomshelf liquor and down ballot election.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
We are intrigued. Hey, you look down at that, Elijah Craig.
That's a fine burbot. That's fine, nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Now wipe the dust off that bottle, take it home
fourteen bucks.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
We are gonna talk to Don Wagner, our old friend,
the guy that knocked Pharah Khan into the stratosphere.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Head to head. They went head to head for that
third decret Dosy supervisor seat. He blew her up, no runoff.
He knocked her up to peace. He's cruising through November.
He shattered her shady.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Shatter shatter. He sent her in that weird Superman two
box that's right into the sky.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
We uh, and we the Petro some Money show, Fair
and balanced had both of them out. We did within
one hour of one another. Mayor Khan and Supervisor Wagner.
They had their showdown in March.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
He was able, he was able to hear some of
her talking points and cut them down.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
He did get the last. He had a better time
slow exactly right, and we really enjoyed our time. He uh.
We did that because it was a racist he engaged
in our rab ass. And we appreciate when the local
politicians understand the platform of the Petros and Money show.
We are a single platform show.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
We're going to ask him about the knockout punch right
to the figurative not literal to the Pharahkahn campaign.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I was thinking open container. We would just attack open
container today, like we want that back, Like, hey man,
we want to just cruiser on the streets drinking, and
can we make that happen?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Getting kind of communists when you can't have two or
three beers. When I went home from a nice nine
to ten hour day work, it's really that big of
a deed. You don't get that tallboy between your legs.
Of course, we do not condone that kind of thing. No,
thank you though for being here. So Don Wagner is
going to join you next segment and not Vassay today.
We're giving Vassa a break because the Dodgers are on
like a five day hiatus.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
That means a lot of he wants to watch the
doubleheader between the Mets and the Brave second game.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Now, I believe if the Mets are able to win
this one, that means the d Backs are in and
the Braves are out.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yes, the Padres will either play the Mets or the Braves.
They will not play the Dodgers, they will not play
the Diamonds.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
So the Braves in this game are playing for their
very lives, Yes they're very baseball lives are on the line,
exactly right. And the d Backs, from what I understand,
are sitting on their luggage like a bunch of exchange
students in the Munich airport, waiting to know what happens,
whether or not they have to get on a plane
to Milwaukee or just disperse into the desert night and
(08:35):
finish their season like the snakes that they are side
winding off into the desert.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Oh, head off to a desert BJ's Restaurant in brew
House location. Enjoy the happy hour between three and seven pm.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
We know there are many dining options here at the
marketplace in Irvine. We appreciate you choosing BJ's Restaurant in
brew House here.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
At the Marketplace in Irvine. Now, Matt Many a Dodger
cap any of Dodger jersey Many a Dodger fan here
despite the fact they will not play another game until Saturday.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yes, we love your own a lot of Dodger fan
fam it. We will have Geeter McGee for the Lakers.
That's right, Lakers Media Day. We all know what a
goofball Geeter can be at Lakers Media Day. As far
as the ass kissing goes, I want to keep it
all the way real to the job that coach Ham
and Rob did with the acquisations that we got coming
in that kind of inspired.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Me to come. I feel like, you know, we got
a really good uh So, hope Geeter's lucky cock.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Geter's lucky because media days today and we're not able
to be at the station and really be the catcher
and the ride for anything. Dummy says oh pot up
the sports net. But We're gonna bring them on.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Pot it up, geters talk and let's hear what he's got.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Ronni, would you please monitor the entire thing and see
if he says anything stupid, plot it up.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
So that's going on in our final hour.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
But before we go any further, Matt I thought it
would be interesting to talk a little bit about Irvine,
even though we're right on the border of Tustin.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Who wants to learn a little bit about Irvine? Who does?
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
You want to learn a little something about Irvine.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
We are here in Irvine, the master planned city in
Orange County. What is a master planned city you might
want to know, Well, it's obviously racist because it has
a master in there. It is a settlement carefully planned
from its inception on previously undeveloped land.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
As opposed to the willy nilly style of Tustin next door.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
However, Tustin organically evolved street where you feel like disgusting,
You can't find your way. It's like walking around Paris
without the charm.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
But here.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
In Irvine master plan master planned city whack. In the UK,
what do they call a master planned city?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
A new town? The city is named for a guy
by the name of James IRVINEE not Irvine that was
a longtime resident, but not no, James Irvine was from
the UK and irishman who came here, a potato headed
irishman came because the potatoes were not coming out of
(11:09):
the ground. You got to bring up the famine. The famine.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, saw the Irish died because they're too stupid to
grow anything else.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I don't appreciate that. I'm sorry. Stupid.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Well, they weren't stupid, the Irvines. They soon became wealthy
in San Francisco real estate. It was James Irvine the second.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
That real estate is covered in poop now it is.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
But they James Irvine the Second and James Irvine the
third came down and ruled southern California. Because the earthquake
in nineteen oh six, was that a big one in
San Francisco. It blew up the A's Giant series in
nineteen oh six. Uh, the earthquake in nineteen oh six.
When when that happened, they relocated here to their ranch
(11:52):
known as the Irvine Ranch. But here's what I thought
was most interesting, Matt. And it's a little bit of
a petros and money Coast to Coast. Okay, we love
a little Petros and Money Coast to Coast.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
The Irvines, it turns out, were og members of the
Bohemian Club at the super creepy Bohemian Grove, a restricted place.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Wow, everybody's naked groups. Have you never heard of Bohemian Grove?
You've never heard heard of Bohemian leather? You look up
Bohemian Grove. Bohemian Grove. Is this really creepy conspiracy theory thing?
He knows.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
The Bohemian Club was in San Francisco and like like
the Jonathan Club are like skull and bones. The Bohemian
Club was there, and then they have this piece of
land they still do. They have all this acreage in
the middle of nowhere up north, and every president has
been to Bohemian Grog and they all get all naked
and greased up and do Satanic rituals exactly right, eat
(12:54):
virgins and stuff allegedly, and children pizza.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Forget about the children's livers.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Restricted place in northern California with weird traditions, symbols and
rituals and Satan Super West Coast Skull and Bones. That's
the Irvines. That's your city.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Bohemian grove master plant takes on a whole different connotation.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Modern day West coast illuminatus. That's the connotation. It takes on.
Creepy conspiracy theory, place of record with a giant owl
idol that can be seen from space, space, from cameras
and space and on the internet. Also Bohemian grove relatively
(13:42):
kind of rudimentarily explained in True Detective season two, exactly right.
Not a successful season, but an interesting concept.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I did enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Nonetheless, Well we got Vernon Adams exactly right. So what
I want to say, Matt.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Snow backwoods Louisiana. But it played to us.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Say that the Irvine family was full Bohemian grove. And
few things in all of California history are creepier and
more shrouded in mystery than the Bohemian grove. And that
was James Irvine and his creepy kids. The last one
died of tuberculosis here on the ranch.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Consumption got him.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I believe right where he died is the place of
Noma State Plaza. There the Indian restaurant down the way.
So there is that to consider. The coast to coast
elements here appreciate that of the Petros and Money Shows
Bohemian growth.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That we have been here many times. It is the
first time we have heard theeath Bohemian grove chapter of
the Irvine story. Right.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
We talk a lot about California history, but I was
I was happy to be able to dig that out.
We do appreciate all of you depot C types coming
out an hour early to check out the show and
beyond illuminatus even if you are one, thank you for coming.
And we have the heavy work week, Matt that comes
along with the Dodger playoffs winning the NL West, and
(15:04):
we promise great sports talk all week, a great sports talk, Hey,
wgst all week, great sports talk.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
We get Monday Night football tonight, we get Thursday Night
football on Thursday. Between now and then though three to
seven shows Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday from Dodger Stadium on Friday,
by the way, as the Dodgers warm up, they have
opened their doors to the Petros and Money Show to
get everybody ready for the divisional round that begins on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
That's right, So we're all looking forward to that, yes,
and we're looking forward to Don Wagner in the very
next segment, and we're looking forward to never being invited
to Bohemian Grove. I don't want to see what those
people do.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I do. I don't want to see their arterial spray
all over the walls. I want to be part of
your exclusive club.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I don't want to see what happens. Hey, before we break,
Oh my god, is that the mayor of Carson. Look
at him, he's making with a bull's head on.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Before the freak offs. You know, they had to get
their motivations. So Baby and Grove was white guy freakof
exactly right, except like it was by a costco. You
got a lot of baby oil. It's not puff Daddy's
stroking himself in the corner.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
It's gerald Ford Bohemian Grove and then falling down kidding.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I'm not kidding. Spooky Puzzoki, who are these.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
People ordering this thing? Please tell me it's on special?
It is okay, God, Spooky Pazzuki. Why did you just
get what you normally get?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Because Bert said, it's just vanilla ice cream with or
food Colery's not good for you, just it's just vanilla.
That weird food coloring is the stuff that makes our
children crazy. They don't let you do that in Europe,
you know, No, they wouldn't let you do that. No,
they're spooky puzzuki. That's exactly right. They won't let you
do it. January, can you make an executive decision and

treat pee a return guest, somebody that was not offended
or upset by the line of questions and the grab
ass that we perpetrated against him the last time he
(19:06):
was here, as agreed well to UH to a return
engagement like show.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Many hope that show a Tani is the factor that
brings the Dodgers over.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
The hump that's playing to the crop.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Many people believe that it was the Petrosen money interview
last fall that pushed Don Wagner passed Farah Kahn.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
And they're not even a runoff.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I mean a substantial march. Nobody's gone down that hard
since Mondale didn't even win Minnesota is right.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Now according to something.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Southern California Toyota Dealer celebrity hotline is the Orange County
supervisor Don Wagner.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Though he's from Newbury Park and.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
No, no, but he's an o C legend and he's
a man in control. If you want to know who
supervises Orange County and why it's clean, and why it's
not a cesspool like our county in Los Angeles, it's
because of Dawn and his predecessors.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Really, what's crack of Don? How are you?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I am? I am doing very well. I'm happy to
be back in a.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Chairman chairman supervisor.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
We'd like to do the c W don Orvin Wagner
Don works because you know, yeah, we should be on
a first name basis. You you guys help me turn
a victory into a lands Bred pet tryson money. Thank
you guys.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
We am radio interview you do yeah, a couple of
months before the elect sports radio in the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
That all.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
We we like to do an extensive amount of prep
for interviews like these. So digging into the prior agendas
from the supervisor meetings, would love to know because I
saw we saw a handful of items that watching you've
been watching a little cable access man just kind of
going through the agenda. There saw a lot of library
stuff on there. What's going on at the libraries these days?
(20:59):
It feels like it may be an institution that is
on the way out, and how are we keeping them alive?
In Orange County? What's going on with libraries.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
So, honest to God, the first, the first meeting I
had this morning was about the local library system. So
there you go. And in part it's because Irvine has
decided that it's going to leave the county library system,
strike out on its own and do its own libraries.
And now they're coming back to the county for help saying, oops,
we can't quite do this, and can we get this
(21:27):
relief in that kind of relief, et cetera. The truth
is the libraries are are definitely taking on a different
focus in our communities and in our culture nowadays, with
you being able to find almost anything you want out
on the internet, libraries become a place to do a
(21:48):
little bit more specialized research. They provide community meeting spaces.
They provide opportunities for you know, elementary school students often
maybe some junior high and high school students who have
some challenges at their homes, spacing challenges, noise challenge, whatever
happens to be, to come and get away and do
(22:09):
some work. And so there's a role still for universities.
It is absolutely still viable, but they are very much changing.
And Irvine has decided to leave the system, and it
left twenty eight million dollars on the table thanks utterly,
utterly absurd by the policymakers and Irvine.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
There you are.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
We're going to take advantage of it in the county
and we're going to put that money into good use.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Have you thought about the Cerritos method where you have
that library, it's like a destination. It's all titanium and
it like it's you know, they've done a good job
with their library.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
There is talk about something like that in the Great
Park at about a two hundred million dollars price tag,
and that's strikes me is a little bit a little
bit much given the change.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
We're talking about.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
I think it was in this very spot I want
ran into Anthony Johnson and it's telling me to do
that to Anthony. Davis was telling us we got to
do it eight a football team here, and so far
we haven't pulled that together.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
No, it's gonna be some time any other minutes, Matt, Yes, Oh,
I noticed there was up for approval the transfer of
nine canines from.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
A who opposes the transfer of the canines. That's what
I'm trying to figure out. Why does this have to
be debated? What is this like Hawaiian We we've got
to move nine canines to the sheriffs. I believe it
had to go to some different departments. So how what
is the transactional nature of the canines? Are they families?
Don't want to break up the family.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
You will be glad to know that sailed through without
any position or whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Hey, bipartisan support for the transfer of the canines. That
politics at.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Work, and they're going to be great additions to the force.
The reason we had to do it that way is
a little bit complicated, and it has to do with
state laws and regulations about accepting or accepting things of
value provided by individuals and these dogs, especially trained, et cetera.
And so it was a formality required by the state
(24:11):
of California. Nobody opposed it. And those dogs, is I
understand it, are already out there working hard for us.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Look at that, oh oh, he Supervisor Chairman Don Wagner
joining the Petress and Money Show.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
They are you know them, don't you're doing? They're fighting
the home lists that are occupying the library parking lots.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Snarling at the liberal opposition, joining us now on the
Petress and Money Show. And we're always happy to have
him Matt mentions the meetings and stuff, and some of
those things seem uh I mean, I guess you wouldn't
be in local politics unless you were into it, but
U or any kind of politics. But some of those
things seem kind of kind of tedious. You know, when
like when another speaker comes up and starts talking about,
(24:50):
you know, a pothole.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Do you just do you have to sit us on that?
In the minutes there were some asphalt stuff in the minutes.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Do you roll your eyes to you? Do you check
your watch? I mean, do you have to really keep
your body language?
Speaker 4 (25:00):
You really do have to respect the public and listen
to what the public has to say. And part that's
what we are there for. And we go into those
meetings prepared. We've got an agenda, we've got a whole
bunch of stuff that we've had our chances to work
through over the prior two weeks. And then someone will
come up and sometimes they'll hit us with some serious
things that we need to think about and do and
(25:21):
react to. And and sometimes it's some of the same
old people with some of the same old problems that
a are not within our jurisdiction, And like those guys,
you just listen and move on.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Okay, what a perfect opening for us to share some
of our ideas. Here we go. How about this. I
wasn't consulted on this.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Money's got an idea?
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Let's see why? All right? Follow me on this a
bit of a libertarian approach to driving around town, if
you will, how about we get rid of Now understand,
off the table is visually impaired. I'm taking the visually impaired.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
In a blind drivers or not?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Blind drivers not allowed? But the intersections where there is
a blind gol explain Wait, wait.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Blind drivers, now stop and think about this for a minute.
But you have at the banks, you have these drive
up teller machines with braille on the keypad.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Please explain it? Fair point?
Speaker 5 (26:16):
All right, back to your driver's great for the the
blind passage in the backseat?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
The uh? Can we get rid of the red light?
Left turn? Can we make them all yellow?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
So?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
What is that the driver's discretion? I don't have to
sit through a five minute cycle. I can make the left,
Matt if I determined it's safe for me to make the.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Left, Matt Yett Matt. I tried to do that as
a mayor of Irvine. We really managed hope this our guy.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
That's our guy.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
And I had staff bring back a report and they
kept coming back about how you just can't do this.
Why because you can't train the drivers, the drivers will
cause accidents. It's like, no, we're trusting the drivers out
there to drive. We managed to get a pilot program
in at four different intersections, and so that was one
of the initiatives that I brought forward. We got at
(27:06):
four different intersections. I left the mayor's seat, I ran
off to Iran for County supervisor and went off to
the County Board of Supervisors. And I have not seen
it expanded anywhere in the city of Irvine. Talk to
Farah Khan gon is that right? That is that is true?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Four intersections, totally fine, No, no safety issues. Everybody can
now make their laughs as they please.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
We had, Yeah, we had to do a citywide education
program and we had to spend money to change out
the lights so that they are a little bit clearer.
But at the end of the day, I hate sitting there.
I can look out there and that it is clear
to go, and I got to sit there try to
(27:51):
get it changed.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
So not a supervisor gig.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
It is at the city that is at city levels
and before of them in Irvine.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I mean, I was gonna ask this question one way,
but now I guess I have to ask it this way.
Does Irvine use the Great Park as a cudgel against
the entire county?
Speaker 4 (28:09):
They want to call it the Irvine Great Park. We
think it's a bigger and more more important thing than that,
and we do use it for for a number of
things outside of just the City of Irvine. Community groups
will use that. We've got the Orange County Soccer Club.
Is there county they're doing They're doing absolutely fantastic. James James,
(28:34):
James Caston and his team out there just do fantastic work.
In fact, they won the national championship for their league
I think about now two years ago. They do just
just great work. So the really we do see it
as more of a county resource. A lot of county
dollars have gone into it. It's not just the Irvine
(28:54):
Great Park.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
There in my mind, you know, you've opened the door
again for us. We were just talking about this. So
I go to one of those OC Soccer Club matches
and they have a partnership with all the breweries around town,
and they set up like a giant beer garden next
to the soccer stadium, and you're there a couple hours early.
And there's something very American, very freeing, very liberating, if
(29:18):
you will, about walking around outside in public with a
beer in your hand. You know, it's just hey, you
get the elements around you, you're enjoying. You want New Orleans.
Where are we at with open containers? You know, why
can't I just like walk down I'm just walking. I'm
just walking home, and I'd like to just kind of
take a care with me. You're trusting the drivers, trust
the drink, but you know, I'm just I just want
(29:39):
to walk down the street with I want to leave
Djy's with a little to go, little little take home,
and I'm not gonna get in my car. I'm just
gonna walk across the street to my beautiful planned community
of tracked homes that all look the same. So I'm out.
I may walk into the wrong one, but I want
to walk with that beer in my hand. What do
you think about kind of where we're at with open
containers for pedestrians walking around town sipping suns.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
I think that we are a little too restrictive on that.
As as somebody who has spent some time spend some
time in in New Orleans, you know they make it,
they make it work. What I will tell you again
is a city issue. I would also suggest you want
to be responsible because one of the things we are
(30:23):
seeing in the state of California as a as a
genuine and serious problem are increased pedestrian deaths from a tie.
You know, a tie between a carn of pedestrian always
goes to the car, and so so we are seeing
some of those that so done responsibly. You can do it.
The cities need to decide how to do it responsibly.
(30:46):
You know, I'm watching the city of Irvine again. I
also saw it come down with a outdoor smoking ban recently.
And and you know, if you can responsible, you can't
buy those in California any longest. You guys don't need me.
(31:06):
You got this.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, upset, he's you know, I was. I'm sorry. I'm sorry,
See dub the chairman wagon continue. Smoking is a problem.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
No, that's all that's all I got. Yeah, there are
the smoke right outside of government. Government tries to be
a little too too heavy handed, and it would be
in the smoking, it would be in some of the
open container laws and so much else.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
So who is John?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Just?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Uh picking your brain here? What do you think if
I were to run for mayor on a platform of
no red lights for left turns, open container, smoke as
much as you want outside? What do you think my
chances are? And I live in Seal Beach and an
Orange County city, what do you think my chances would
be if that were my platform. I'm losing red lights,
(31:59):
left turn I'm letting you walk around sipping SuDS and
you want to smoke outside smoke? What do you think
my chance is? I?
Speaker 4 (32:06):
I like that. I think this this country has gotten
a little bit tired of heavy handed government and somebody
who comes along and says, you know, I'm gonna lighten up.
I'm gonna let citizens do for themselves and the government
the government's least, is the government the govern's best. I
think you're gonna get some traction.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Okay, there we go. Uh, how do I what do
I start an LLC? Is it a super pack? What
do I gotta get going? Here? Just just walk around
ask people for money here?
Speaker 4 (32:34):
That's what you do. Start Start start by asking people
for money. And uh, seal Beach would be good. It
would be good for the side.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Don't think would like me very much if I were
to take the seat from him to what he's a
great dude. He represents the first district well, a good guy.
Who is by the way, who is the seal Beach
who represents sealed? Is that district one on the supervisor.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
To Board of Supervisors? That's District one, which is Andrew?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
How do we get you to w rep us? Can
I get him throw out and thrown out and just
say no, we don't want you Andrew. He's passing Taylor
Swift to singing your national anthem.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
