Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome three hours a great sports dot to the Petros
and Money Show on air at AM five seven LA
Sports with the ability to really go anywhere and do anything,
streaming everywhere with the iHeartRadio app hosted by Bad Money Smish.
Check out the fit and Petros papadakas. That's what we
like to hear here they are on your home of
(00:23):
the LA Dodgers in Think and down the Green, petrosin Money,
Trosin Money, DROs In Money Rosin.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Even hostile parodies admit from the start that the target
has a distinct voice. Going out vic second.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Hour of four Petro say Money, going until seven pm tonight,
Brewin Insider after tomorrow play by play returns. It is
a latuia to it am on on Tuesday, but you
wouldn't know it. By the first segment, Vick was so
distracted by the breaking news that Shoel Tani needs laboram surgery,
derailed what wasn't otherwise in her game, leaving Lieutenant Dan
(01:02):
Gary sinise as the last mentioned round robin to Edemano. Tuesday,
it was bsnad and we got a clippers tomorrow. We
had clippers last night.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
We can enjoy clippers together pregame at six tip off
at seven tomorrow here on AMFI seventy LA Sports. But
the biggest news is that we have a Thursday event
live in Huntington Beach from two to five. And you
know what, speaking of that, I'm sure we'll have Bert.
I was just being explained to by Brian Blackmore, one
(01:36):
of our bosses, about how remarkable it was that Bert's
Wi Fi connection to David Vase on the Dodger World
Series bus never lost a glitch, not one bump in
the road for Bert's connection with David Vass on what
(01:57):
was the most important day in Los Angeles sports history,
the Big Parade last Friday.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I think we all have our areas of expertise and
when we're fortunate enough to see Bert and Craig together
at the same time, the way those two talk, I mean,
they really weren't technology. They're on top of their game.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Well, I'm sure Bert will be with us on Thursday,
where we will be live in Huntington Beach from two
to five before Thursday Night football or it will be
the Rat King Craig. Either way, we'll have that. Did
we give away our Chargers tickets yet? Where's Kate probably
talking to the other boss. Our bosses like to sabotage
the show by engaging Kate's coming in. You've been showing
(02:34):
them grafts all all show long, and I think they're
probably engaged again. Kates is trying to invoice for the
money that he made during the UH.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
He wants that money. He wants that money, want money,
shop time for the company. But Kate's has owned a
bunch of money. It's a very awkward time, Matt, A
very awkward time, it is. But we will be out
there on Thursday on Huntington Beach from two to five.
We'll give away the Charger tickets between now and seven.
We have not given them away yet.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
And don't forget, not only do we have Clippers this week,
but we have UCLA Ball. Yes, they're trying to party.
UCLA Football plays host to Iowa. Kickoff is at six
on AM eleven fifty and we are all looking forward
to that. We will talk to Scott Wolf in the
very next segment. We've already caught up well with Daniel Jeremiah,
(03:26):
who totally avoided all did talk about USC but totally
avoided any discussion regarding the padres and their many failures posts,
and we haven't f one report today too.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I believe I believe DJ was sincere. I think he
and Kate they have a sidebar text chain between the
two of them baseball. They appreciate each other's baseball fandom.
And I think he was sincere in saying that case
better get a World Series ring. You're running scam for
an entire month, producer the Petrosen Money Show, doing Dodgers
(04:02):
on Deck, doing Dodgers talk, walking the fans that showed
up in the millions to the parade, through each and
every agonizing loss or each and every exhilarating win, and
you're gonna get shut out from the World Series ring.
So I do believe DJ sincere in his participation in
the protest. If for whatever reason, that piece of jewelry
(04:23):
is not placed in Kate's palm?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Were you able to invoice down for your work, Kates?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Uh No, not yet yet.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
You're all that money, Tim, I know I.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Know it's coming. It's coming.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So here's what I'm gonna do. Tim.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I'm gonna write the check, but I'm na post date it,
all right. I'm gonna post date it for December eighteenth,
Can you cut me some slack here for six weeks.
I got your invoice. I'm just going I'll ride it
right here on the dash because what I like to
do is I like to write the check on the
dash and my brother likes to watch me do it.
And so that's how I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
All right, don can't do that.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
He can't hide in a Goora not paying Tim Kates
the money that he owes it.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Tim Kates did a lot of shows.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, it was a busy October. Yeah, almost four weeks.
Nobody worked harder than Tim Kates in the month of October.
And he better get jewelry and you better get a
lot of cash because he's got a co capint seeds cope.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
He's got up Canyon University. Even though you're in on
the ground floor, it still you know college.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
I am heading over to Daniels Jewelers this weekend. I
have some free time to go over and they get
to get size or finger for you.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Here you go, all right, it is time for the
word of the day. His words the word of the day.
Kennay's word of the day is desperate proclamation, not to uh,
not to belabor the point about Tim Kates. But last
night Tim Kates was moping around Matt and he was moping.
And he was moping around, not because he had a
(05:47):
case of the bundays, but.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
If you get your ass kick saying something.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
He did not want to do the u c l
A Versus Rider postgame brewing talk show on a I'm
a fifty.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
He feels like he's earned. He felt like he was
tired that you know, he did not want to do it,
and he was kind of dragging. And then I tried
to motivate him when I saw UCLA up thirty or
something in the second half I was watching an NFSI
I said, look, I'm getting pretty excited.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I'm getting pretty excited for what's going on right now.
I'm pretty excited for brillant talk. And Kates did not
send a hearty reply. He was disheartened. Now this is
the time of year, Matt sun goes down early. People
get lonely that don't have a lot going on during
(06:38):
the holidays, people get a little bit depressed.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
And where am I going to have my Thanksgiving dinner?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Right?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Am I going to get cranberry sauce or not?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So these things that happen is tough, and we try
to sort of take Tim Kates by the hand and
drag him through.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
What is you think he's too good for writer? Did
Tim think he was too good for writer? Well, I
don't know, I don't know what it's what it is, Tim?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
But then Tim got on, He got on and started
making wild projections about UCLA season after seeing them versus Ryder.
Here's Tim Kats last night on Bruin Top. I'm gonna
go ahead and say it right now.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Game one UCLA basketball, This to me is a Final
four team. I truly believe this is the best team
Ucla Mick Corn's had now in his six seasons. They've
gotten close and made runs with the Jimai Hawkes's and
the Johnny Jizangs. I got a feeling, I just do it,
and I have not felt like this about a UCLA
(07:47):
basketball team in a long time.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I mean, that's a bold prole. We did add the
to make it a little bit more dramatic. Oh, it
wasn't like had a soundtrack underneath.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
The whole the music for for a fact.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
But again, I mean I watched some of the game
last night and I recognized, like, Hey, there's that guy
from last year. And there's that one other guy, the
transfer from last year. There's Sebastian mac. You know, there's
a few of these. Davanovich, right, Mara, Jack Stephens and
and I. But I did not think while I was
watching them, you know, put forty on Rider, I did
(08:27):
not feel like I hit like a diamond bullet in
my head, like a Bobby Hurley type of moment. That's
good mid major that Rider?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Where is Ryder? What state?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
New Jersey?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Very good?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Kates? Where in New Jersey? Gataway something?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Township one more Todd Kates with the predictions. Okay, this
is a bold prediction. I'm gonna go ahead and say
it right now, right now.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Game one, you like.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
This?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
To me is a Final four team.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I truly believe this is the best team Ucla Mick
cornsad now in his six seasons, they've gotten close and
made runs with the Jimai Hawkes's and the Johnny Jizangs.
I got a feeling I just do and I not
feel like this about a UCLA basketball team in a
long time. You guys watched the game last night. Tyler Bildo,
(09:20):
the transfer, who's really good.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Well, they're number twenty two now, not for long, and
they're gonna play after that proclamation. They're gonna play New
Mexico and Polly Steve Wolferd doesn't have a chance.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
On Friday at eight o'clock at night? That game?
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (09:35):
In Vegas? By the way, neutral set game in Vegas?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Okay, So that's like a tournament type of deal.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Yeah, it's like the Desert Storm Classic or someone.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
So they're playing in the Desert Storm Classic with the
fallen statue of Saddam Hussein on the chest. Wit or
gets it?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Okay? So New Mexico versus UCLA and they're all the
way up to number twenty two?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Dylan Andrews? Yes, who I was on fire last night?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Kind of bie Yeah, hi hi yah, Peter, So big
news when it comes to the Bruins from Tim Kats
last night. Now, did he make that proclamation because he
felt something and felt he saw something in the first
game of.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
The year or was he trying to create content for
a call week because he had no call because he
had zero you make the call?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Well, it was twenty five minutes into a thirty minute show,
so I could have said it a lot.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Earlier to hit people started up. But the more and more.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
I talked to myself literally for twenty five minutes. The
more and more I talked myself into the fact that
this is a final fourteen.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You did not get a single call over the half hour.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I had one.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I had Tyler from somewhere. Tyler from somewhere. You didn't
have Solomon.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
No.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Solomon didn't call Lake Belbos quiet.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
No.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
And by the way, they only had forty five hundred
people at Paul Pavilion. Span its rider. This is gonna
be a final fourteen. Folks, get on the bandwagon.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Now.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You know daylight savings, you know, yeah, yet that people
get used. They probably had an hour, they were an
hour off end showing up, voting the station exactly.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Tyler Billadeh is really good.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
All right, it's time for the number of the Day's
Number of the day.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Well, we're in a double up pee. Two bits of
fast food news in your number of the day bit
number one fact not opinion. Okay, Wendy's is struggling Kate's way.
Nobody pushes Wendy's in these parts. Like Tim Kates. He
loves their French toast bites in the morning, and he
(11:30):
loves their chicken sandwiches and their nugs that they bring
by in the afternoons.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
And he likes the waspy look of Wendy's.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yes, she does. And I believe he likes that frosty
as well. Dips his fries in it. It's very good.
They're closing one hundred and forty stores.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
God not the one across from the Daily Breeze by
the mortuary. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
They say that it will be it will canvass the
entire country, and it will be low performing stores that close.
They say, look, Wendy, she's healthy. She may be old,
but she's healthy. She's got no medical issues. But there
are there's a seedy underbelly. Or maybe it's not seedy.
(12:09):
There is an underperforming underbelly and it needs the fat
needs to be trimmed. So if you feel like you
live by a Wendy's and you only go there because
it's the one fast food drive through that's always open.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Wendy's has government overreach problem.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
And you're just like, you know what, I'd like to
hit up the film whatever it might be, the Carls Junior.
But there's six cars and there's nobody at the Wendy.
So I'm just gonna go get a single in a
Frosty and call it a day. And you know that
cup of chili's not bad for ninety nine cents. So
keep an eye out if you've got a Wendy's that
is not performing, could be closing one for before the
end of the year. Second thing, coming home from the
(12:46):
flight from Cleveland late, did not eat any airplane food.
I decided to stop at the Taco Bell on a
follow up to try the decades of menu to see
if in fact it was up at the Seal Beach Talk.
And in fact it was, and in fact I purchased
a Mexi melt front of my set.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
It blew them out, one of those bloom clean out.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Well you jumped the ending of the story. Ah wait,
I got a text where a guy said, don't do it.
It blew me down.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Now.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I do not eat Taco Bell very often. I think
the last time I had Taco Bell was the cheese
at toasted petros To shrimp burrito from the way that's
Pikito mas. That's a different story. But I had that
Mexi milt and it tasted as I remembered back in
the eighties delicious, But my god, that I pay a price.
I paid a twelve hour price before I Wow. Yeah,
(13:40):
right when I got home.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
The Mexi melt took your pelt?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It did it? Unled? Hey, if I needed David. If
I was David Vesse and needed that colonoscopie the next day,
I'd have been ready to go. Everything would have been
just clean as a whistle. I was like, okay, wow it.
There is a reason why the old story used to
be you don't buy Taco bell, you just rent it.
Because I rented it that evening.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Take my pelt, Mexi Mountain, all right running. This is
the song of the day.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
The Presidents of the United States of America provide our
song of the day called Flea versus Might, appropriate for
this Tuesday afternoon where the Petros and Money Show is
transmitting the might of four full hours of AM radio salvation,
where you have the freedom to exercise the right to
maximize your decibel level for truth justice in the American
(14:38):
way that we call great sports Talk, followed by the
incumbent Brian Fenley and his UCLA constituents with the Bruins

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Yeah, thank you. Running Scott Wolf will join us to

pm going into Thursday at Football. It's the corner of

but we'd love to see prizes to give away happy
(15:33):
hour specials Thursday DJ's Huntington Beach. Matt joining us right
now on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity Hotline is
a man who is honest and has been that way,
riding the hills and gullies of USC football for as
long as I can remember.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
The Wittier Whiz. You could check out his stuff at
inside so Cal dot com or dot blog. Inside so
cal dot blog inside usc dot Blog. It's changed a
couple times over the years, but his attitude and his
sharp tongue have not.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
It is Scott Wolfe joining us on the Petrosen Money
Show on AMPI seventy l A Sports.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
What's cracking, Wolfie? How are you?
Speaker 5 (16:23):
How do you do?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
How do you do? Wolfy? Uh? You know a lot
of people are are very surprised that USC is so
seemingly helpless here in the Big Ten, But I don't.
I don't suppose that you are, Scott. Why are you
not surprised at USC's performance this year.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
It's kind of weird to me how right I've been
the last year or so about this. But it all
stems back to Lincoln Riley, who I have called a
fraud on occasion. This guy has like no conception of
what it means to play football in the Big ten
(17:02):
or at the high level these days, because he doesn't
like to run the ball, he doesn't play physical football,
he doesn't value really defense until this year when he
tried to slap together a staff from scratch. And you
know you can't win with just an air raid offense.
And you know he's throwing seventy percent of the time
(17:25):
in the first half last weekend against Washington and Washington's
dropping a million guys back on defense. And I don't
know what he's thinking.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
What were you thinking, Wolfe when he was hired. I'm
just thinking back to that presser and Mike Boone and
they say, right, everyone's excited. They finally get a legitimate,
a list head coach. So what did you feel then
when he was hired and how did it go so wrong?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Well?
Speaker 7 (17:55):
I wasn't as elated as so many other people. I
think I was more with like kind of how you act.
And I remember a couple of years back, but I thought, us,
he's a place where if you're competent, you can win.
But he's come in with a very stuff brand about
how he wants to play football. You know, you look
(18:15):
at the recruiting. Where are the offensive linemen? You know,
what about the defensive line? I mean you got to
win at the line of scrimmage, you got to run
the football. I sound like, you know, Vince Lombardi or something,
but you need those things. Watch Georgia play or Alabama
when Nick Saban was there. I mean, those those are
things you need to win. You can pull it off
(18:36):
kind of in the Pac twelve. But you know, last
year the Pac twelve was about as good as it's
been in a long time. So he paid the price.
And now he's losing to Maryland in Minnesota, and you know,
teams are being more physical. I think, I think that's
a big problem. And they bragged the I know Petro
Haspy heard this. They bragged how we gained fourteen hundred
(18:59):
pounds of muscle the offseason. Well, I haven't seen any difference.
I mean, where's the difference.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
No, it doesn't seem like that has really come to
fruition at all. But even if Lincoln Riley said, yeah,
I want to run the ball, and yeah, I'm going
to recruit offensive line and I'm really going to do
this and we're really going to develop the fronts, does
he have the pedigree? Does he have the chops? Could
he even do it if he wanted to? I mean
it's clear that he doesn't. I mean, I guess it's
(19:26):
kind of a stupid question because he throws the ball
thirty times in the first half of football games. But
if he wanted to, could he even do it? Then?
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Scott, Well, I think that's a big problem because he's
not getting the five star alignment because they know, why
should I go to USC? And I'm going to play
an air raid offense that does not prepare me for
the NFL. So these guys don't want to come to US, see,
they'd rather go to Oregon. Frankly, Yeah, So no, he's
not preparing them and he's not equipped. And you know,
(20:00):
to mention, the other thing is this is the time
a struggling coach needs like a base of support. He
has zero support at USC because the guy never leaves
his office and never talks to the students, never talks
to the alumni, he never talks to the staff that
people at work at USC, the season ticket holders. He
has no safety net to save him in a moment
(20:23):
like this.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Was he not properly vetted that just on his credentials
of all these Heisman Trophy, winning number one overall pick
quarterbacks is essentially why he was hired. And maybe these
were flags that they should have seen coming. Well.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
I think they were just so enamored with his you know,
record at Oklahoma, and you know there was this knock
the USC could never get a big name coach again,
and they threw you know, one hundred million dollars at him,
and now apparently they're going to have to pay him off,
you know, all that money if they fire him, so
they can't fire them. So you remember, you guys were
(21:03):
laughing at Mike Bone was mispronouncing of sports source analytics.
He called them sports sorts at the press conference. You know,
they relied on that group to back up the Riley
higher And you know where where is Mike Bone or
his little Lackey brand and SASMA these days? Because I'd
(21:23):
love to hear from them to kind of justify what's
happened in the last three years.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
It's been ugly. There's no doubt about it. Is there
any way that Lincoln Riley could be shamed out of town?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Well?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Fee, I mean, he clearly doesn't like it here. He's
getting bullied by like twenty four year old guys in
the media that I mean, it's pretty amazing to watch
it happen that he said he wasn't going to make
a change at quarterback or he wasn't even thinking about it,
and now all of a sudden he's made a change.
Like every week something like this happens. Do you think
(21:55):
that there's a way out of this for USC that
doesn't cost him eighty million dollars.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
I mean, the only way I could see it is
if an NFL team came. But why would they want
a guy who's four and five and twelve and twelve
in his last twenty four games. He's not going to leave,
you know, unless he was paid off. So he's just
you know, he's got it made right now in terms
of money, and he's got his mansion and palace Verde
(22:22):
that he lives in, so you know, you can't get
rid of the guy. That's the problem. And now they're
spending you know, over one hundred million dollars to give
him a football building that they don't need, just because
he wants it. So they're now stuck with the guy
because they overpaid and they you know, probably didn't do
great research. Honestly, I sounded like they hired him, you know,
(22:46):
kind of hastily because they were shocked that he wanted
to come. But he wanted to get out of the SEC.
And now he doesn't want to be in the Big
ten and down the road, he doesn't want to play
Notre Dame. So this is the guy you're stuck with now.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Is there do you mean, Look, it's probably hard for you,
Like you said, well if because he sits in his office,
he doesn't interact with anybody. He never does any interviews.
He's not out with you the people. Do you get
the sense that there is maybe an out that he
hates it as well, that he doesn't like California, that
he wants to be back in Texas or in a
place like that, and maybe there is a path to
(23:20):
get out from under this.
Speaker 7 (23:23):
You know, Let's say somebody like Florida had a lot
of money and wanted to make a stab at him.
I think something like that I could see happening. But
you know, I don't know who would pay him right
now based on his record to come. It's not going
to excite the fans at a new school if he comes,
(23:44):
unless they're really bad.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
So South Florida would lie.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I don't know. You know, the Dallas Cowboys would have
been considered an option, but can you imagine them hiring him?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Now?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Dad, what do you think Scott is going to happen
with Jade Mayava's quarter back as opposed to Miller Moss.
I would suppose anybody out there throwing at sixty times
is going to have a tough time.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
Well, I like his athleticism and he can run. He
can give them a RPO, you know, aspect to the offense.
So I think he's going to add some life to
the offense. But we're game ten now, the season's over basically,
so you know it'll be nice if he comes in.
I think they'll beat Nebraska with him. You know that
(24:30):
he has to be UCLA, So MIAV is probably his
only hope because the team is so listless right now.
They need somebody to kind of give them a boost
of any kind. So you know, he might as well
do it. But you know, this is the quarterback whisper.
You know, in game ten, he's making the change. Like
why did it take so long? As he's making the
(24:50):
change now.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
No, everything that everybody's said about Lincoln Riley as far
as being a legendary coach and all of these different things,
well they're kind of dissipating with every single game that
goes on while he's wearing that USC polo. You know,
I hear a lot of people talking about USC ruin
the whole Pac twelve just so they could lose five
(25:12):
big ten games in twenty twenty four, but as far
as the money goes, USC would have done this move
no matter what. Right am I wrong to say that?
Or is there is there?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Because the way they're losing is their regret about the
move that they made.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Oh no, they don't care about that.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
That's what they.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
Could care less about the winning than the losing part is.
I mean, they just want the eighty million dollars that
they're getting, and because you know, frankly, they would have
had a better chance at the college football playoffs if
they'd stayed in the Pac twelve. No, no, no, But
they want that big fat paycheck from the Big ten
and that's all they ever care about. And you know,
(25:55):
I can kind of see why they did it. I mean,
if there's a lot of rumors right now that the
university's got a deficit financially that they got a deal with,
so you know, they need money at the moment, and
that's why paying off Lincoln Riley's probably even more of
a pipe dream at the moment.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Well, if they make a bowl game, there'll be a
fat check coming their way or not, or they have
to write a check for tickets and they lose money
on that deal. But you mentioned Nebraska, you think they
beat them. Do they win two of their last three
to become Bowl eligible? Nebraska, Ucla, Notre Dame.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
I think that's really tough to say, you know, with
any confidence at the moment, because you can see UCLA
is improving and that's at the Rose Bowl, and then
Notre Dame is I assume they're as good as Maryland
and Washington and Minnesota, and you know, Notre Dame's going
(26:52):
to have something to play for it. And the thing
that I thought was astounding last season was the way
that they just walked into that UCLA game and acted
like they didn't even care. Lincoln Riley didn't even go
to the rally that week to talk to the students.
They just went through the motions. They can't pull that
(27:12):
this year with the fans, So you know, that's why
I think he's trying to pull nav out of a
hat to see if they can get rescued by him.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
You know, you've been around USC football for years and years,
and you're talking about a blue blood, or at least
they think of themselves as a blue blood, and the
players think of themselves as the top players in the country.
When a USC team loses, it's kind of hard to
get everybody to lock arms, like hard, like you would
a Oregon State or something and march forward because everybody
(27:45):
starts pointing fingers and blaming others. What impression do you
get of this team, if you get any at all
regarding how they can face this adversity, they haven't done
well so far.
Speaker 7 (27:58):
Well, here's the problem these days with a team like
the USC. A lot of these guys are now thinking
about their NFL future or maybe they're thinking about the
transfer portal because they're not having the seasons they expected
to have. So you've got kind of a fight between
(28:19):
the guys that want to try to hold things together,
and then you have these other guys now that are like, hey,
we're four and five, we're not going to do anything.
I got to worry about myself and how about I
don't want to get injured the last three games. So
it's a tough challenge now for teams like USC that
don't have a lot to play for. And I suspect
(28:41):
that's why they look so bad in that UCLA game
I was talking about last year. So you know, Riley's
not an inspirational guy, but he's got to figure out
a way to keep these guys going, because you don't
want a total collapse. As bad as it's been, it
could get worse real quick.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Scott, did you go to the basketball game last night
and so far? Howe your interactions with coach.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Musbin I have to say, like most of the people
of the arena, I missed the game judging by the
empty seats that we're there. But I think Eric Musselman
is doing everything he can to promote the program, and
he's got a whole new team. I think they're going
to be respectable this year. So considering the way football
(29:27):
is going, it probably is going to be a relief
to watch them play this season.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Get on the must bus. The one and only Scott Wolfe,
a hero to the people. Always great stuff on USC
and it's always a hopeless situation inside USC dot blog
the great Scott. Well, thanks Wolfe. Have a great week.
Enjoyed it by guy. Appreciate it, Wifee, and we'll be
back with more great sports talk.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Thanks for looking up. Very inspiring conversation. We're at a
seventy million dollar hole. He never leaves his office.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Maybe we can shame him into going.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
He loves his mansion in palace verties.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Stay with us.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
It's just like this A really.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Love our mansion palace verties too. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
That's arow some money, heym five seventy LA Sports live

a pair of tickets to go see Chargers versus Titans
Sunday at Sofar Stadium. It is the salute to service

(30:38):
seven two five seventy the five and three Chargers taking

have a pair of tickets to give away every day
the remainder of the week, including at our live appearance

(30:58):
tickets to give away, some Clipper tickets to give away,
some UCLA tickets to give away, and a three hour
Petros and Money show.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
All right, Matt, we got a few textosos for everybody
to enjoy Sextus.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers. We
make it easy.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
We do enjoy interacting with the listeners and a big
part of it is the secret Textosa line. And we
also provide an escape for those of you that are
tired so damn tired of conventional sports talk radio. What
we do here great sports talk, totally different. Thank you
(31:39):
Petros for bringing the bruh pandemic to light. I've been
telling my nephews for the last few years, unless you
grew up in Hawaii, yeah, it's a real bad look.
I've been getting broad by my daughters recently, my daughter
and her friends, I should say, only have one daughter,
and you know, hey, bro, broh and just don't like bro,
(32:02):
what are you doing like? It's not okay?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Parker brought me one.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I'm not your bro. We're not gonna be bros. We're
never gonna be bros. I'm not your brawl, none of
those things. And I don't want to hear it from anybody,
let alone my child. I got laborum tear surgery in June.
I'm no moushin mouga sacred samurai, but I'm still weak
(32:30):
as af. No way, Oh Tari's back for the spring?
Is that?
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Jason McIntyre, Thanks, Bud, Thanks for your weighing in on
that one.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
He got labor m surgery. He knows what it's like.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
He does. Uh now, I don't know if he got
a scope or I'm just like I'm built just like
show a similar injury, same level of care. And you
want to talk about rehab, I can tell you right now.
I attacked it just like the Dodgers are going to
have him attack it the PT people. I was with
(33:08):
top shelf. I was putting in six hours a day,
and there's no way I'd be ready for spring training.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
I'm still very weak. I'm nowhere near back to.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Hitting the ball one hundred and ten miles an hour
off my bat. Oh I know, I am not. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
It is big news that Tanis shoulder didn't just pop
out and pop back in, but something tore on the way,
and that would be his laborm. Now, shoulder surgery is
a tricky thing and a lot of people opt just
never to get it and decide to be in pain
because what they usually tell you before his shoulder surgery
is well, this, whatever your problem is, is not quote
(33:50):
unquote one hundred percent correctable. Yeah, that's mine right, correctable,
never got surgery. I've got a bunch of sticking at
the top of my left shoulder.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
That is why you are not hitting in the major
leagues today. You're same as the guy no ways ready
for spring training.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
You were also not a motion mooga guy.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
And the reason is this, Like if you think about
I mean, I'm no orthopedist like your friends. But the
reason that people's knees go out, uh and they're correctible
is because they only usually go out one way with
one ligament, and if it goes out, then they fix
that ligament. And yeah, your knee sucks, but it's correctible.
Your shoulder could pop out any which way, especially if
(34:32):
it already did, and so when they fix it, it
doesn't necessarily fix the problem. Now, we should probably get
a doctor on to talk about it if we really
want to know about Otawni's labram. But I will only
trust that doctor Matt if he's wearing a white coat,
because otherwise, how do I know that that's a medical doctor?
Speaker 2 (34:53):
You know?
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Like I like when they're on TV and they wear
their stethoscope, right, and it's like you're not in a hospital,
you're a TV studio, but you're wearing your So I
make sure I know what if we punch that guy
up and he talks in a manner like, well, boys,
let me walk you through it here, and he's wearing
like a three piece suit with a fedora and he
has a little medical bag, then will you take it
as an authority like a door to door doctor. Yes,
(35:15):
like he makes house calls.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
You're gonna try to Is he gonna try to give
me cocaine?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Is it like as a prescription for like a sinus infection,
blood letting?
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Okay, Yes, I'll take that, doctor, Joe, that's an expert.
So that's a lot of the reason people don't get
their shoulders fixed, because they're not necessarily fixable. But I
would imagine, like Matt was alluding to, unlike Matt's injury
many years ago and the gentleman listener who got his
laborum fixed recently, we don't really know the circumstances of
(35:48):
sh at Shohil Toddie's care, the level of care available
to a billion dollar athlete.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
My PT was at the y in a corner with
some ropes in.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
You know, Mat had you invest in a little bit
more like Lebron invests in.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
His body million dollars a year, you'd be doing something different.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Right now.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
I have a lot of drugs too.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Yeah. Oh, you might be like Dan liked or Dave.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Yes, it looked like Quagmire.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Well, thank you, that's some good information on the text ASO,
and we'll be back with more. The Petrosen Money Show
continues on Ami seventy LA Sports. Next fifty segment will
have an anniversary to be celebrated.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Wonderful
Welcome three hours a great sports dot to the Petros
and Money Show on air at AM five seven LA
Sports with the ability to really go anywhere and do anything,
streaming everywhere with the iHeartRadio app hosted by Bad Money Smish.
Check out the fit and Petros papadakas. That's what we
like to hear here they are on your home of
(00:23):
the LA Dodgers in Think and down the Green, petrosin Money,
Trosin Money, DROs In Money Rosin.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Even hostile parodies admit from the start that the target
has a distinct voice. Going out vic second.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Hour of four Petro say Money, going until seven pm tonight,
Brewin Insider after tomorrow play by play returns. It is
a latuia to it am on on Tuesday, but you
wouldn't know it. By the first segment, Vick was so
distracted by the breaking news that Shoel Tani needs laboram surgery,
derailed what wasn't otherwise in her game, leaving Lieutenant Dan
(01:02):
Gary sinise as the last mentioned round robin to Edemano. Tuesday,
it was bsnad and we got a clippers tomorrow. We
had clippers last night.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
We can enjoy clippers together pregame at six tip off
at seven tomorrow here on AMFI seventy LA Sports. But
the biggest news is that we have a Thursday event
live in Huntington Beach from two to five. And you
know what, speaking of that, I'm sure we'll have Bert.
I was just being explained to by Brian Blackmore, one
(01:36):
of our bosses, about how remarkable it was that Bert's
Wi Fi connection to David Vase on the Dodger World
Series bus never lost a glitch, not one bump in
the road for Bert's connection with David Vass on what
(01:57):
was the most important day in Los Angeles sports history,
the Big Parade last Friday.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I think we all have our areas of expertise and
when we're fortunate enough to see Bert and Craig together
at the same time, the way those two talk, I mean,
they really weren't technology. They're on top of their game.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Well, I'm sure Bert will be with us on Thursday,
where we will be live in Huntington Beach from two
to five before Thursday Night football or it will be
the Rat King Craig. Either way, we'll have that. Did
we give away our Chargers tickets yet? Where's Kate probably
talking to the other boss. Our bosses like to sabotage
the show by engaging Kate's coming in. You've been showing
(02:34):
them grafts all all show long, and I think they're
probably engaged again. Kates is trying to invoice for the
money that he made during the UH.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
He wants that money. He wants that money, want money,
shop time for the company. But Kate's has owned a
bunch of money. It's a very awkward time, Matt, A
very awkward time, it is. But we will be out
there on Thursday on Huntington Beach from two to five.
We'll give away the Charger tickets between now and seven.
We have not given them away yet.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
And don't forget, not only do we have Clippers this week,
but we have UCLA Ball. Yes, they're trying to party.
UCLA Football plays host to Iowa. Kickoff is at six
on AM eleven fifty and we are all looking forward
to that. We will talk to Scott Wolf in the
very next segment. We've already caught up well with Daniel Jeremiah,
(03:26):
who totally avoided all did talk about USC but totally
avoided any discussion regarding the padres and their many failures posts,
and we haven't f one report today too.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I believe I believe DJ was sincere. I think he
and Kate they have a sidebar text chain between the
two of them baseball. They appreciate each other's baseball fandom.
And I think he was sincere in saying that case
better get a World Series ring. You're running scam for
an entire month, producer the Petrosen Money Show, doing Dodgers
(04:02):
on Deck, doing Dodgers talk, walking the fans that showed
up in the millions to the parade, through each and
every agonizing loss or each and every exhilarating win, and
you're gonna get shut out from the World Series ring.
So I do believe DJ sincere in his participation in
the protest. If for whatever reason, that piece of jewelry
(04:23):
is not placed in Kate's palm?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Were you able to invoice down for your work, Kates?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Uh No, not yet yet.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
You're all that money, Tim, I know I.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Know it's coming. It's coming.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So here's what I'm gonna do. Tim.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I'm gonna write the check, but I'm na post date it,
all right. I'm gonna post date it for December eighteenth,
Can you cut me some slack here for six weeks.
I got your invoice. I'm just going I'll ride it
right here on the dash because what I like to
do is I like to write the check on the
dash and my brother likes to watch me do it.
And so that's how I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
All right, don can't do that.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
He can't hide in a Goora not paying Tim Kates
the money that he owes it.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Tim Kates did a lot of shows.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, it was a busy October. Yeah, almost four weeks.
Nobody worked harder than Tim Kates in the month of October.
And he better get jewelry and you better get a
lot of cash because he's got a co capint seeds cope.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
He's got up Canyon University. Even though you're in on
the ground floor, it still you know college.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
I am heading over to Daniels Jewelers this weekend. I
have some free time to go over and they get
to get size or finger for you.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Here you go, all right, it is time for the
word of the day. His words the word of the day.
Kennay's word of the day is desperate proclamation, not to uh,
not to belabor the point about Tim Kates. But last
night Tim Kates was moping around Matt and he was moping.
And he was moping around, not because he had a
(05:47):
case of the bundays, but.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
If you get your ass kick saying something.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
He did not want to do the u c l
A Versus Rider postgame brewing talk show on a I'm
a fifty.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
He feels like he's earned. He felt like he was
tired that you know, he did not want to do it,
and he was kind of dragging. And then I tried
to motivate him when I saw UCLA up thirty or
something in the second half I was watching an NFSI
I said, look, I'm getting pretty excited.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I'm getting pretty excited for what's going on right now.
I'm pretty excited for brillant talk. And Kates did not
send a hearty reply. He was disheartened. Now this is
the time of year, Matt sun goes down early. People
get lonely that don't have a lot going on during
(06:38):
the holidays, people get a little bit depressed.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
And where am I going to have my Thanksgiving dinner?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Right?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Am I going to get cranberry sauce or not?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So these things that happen is tough, and we try
to sort of take Tim Kates by the hand and
drag him through.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
What is you think he's too good for writer? Did
Tim think he was too good for writer? Well, I
don't know, I don't know what it's what it is, Tim?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
But then Tim got on, He got on and started
making wild projections about UCLA season after seeing them versus Ryder.
Here's Tim Kats last night on Bruin Top. I'm gonna
go ahead and say it right now.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Game one UCLA basketball, This to me is a Final
four team. I truly believe this is the best team
Ucla Mick Corn's had now in his six seasons. They've
gotten close and made runs with the Jimai Hawkes's and
the Johnny Jizangs. I got a feeling, I just do it,
and I have not felt like this about a UCLA
(07:47):
basketball team in a long time.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I mean, that's a bold prole. We did add the
to make it a little bit more dramatic. Oh, it
wasn't like had a soundtrack underneath.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
The whole the music for for a fact.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
But again, I mean I watched some of the game
last night and I recognized, like, Hey, there's that guy
from last year. And there's that one other guy, the
transfer from last year. There's Sebastian mac. You know, there's
a few of these. Davanovich, right, Mara, Jack Stephens and
and I. But I did not think while I was
watching them, you know, put forty on Rider, I did
(08:27):
not feel like I hit like a diamond bullet in
my head, like a Bobby Hurley type of moment. That's
good mid major that Rider?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Where is Ryder? What state?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
New Jersey?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Very good?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Kates? Where in New Jersey? Gataway something?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Township one more Todd Kates with the predictions. Okay, this
is a bold prediction. I'm gonna go ahead and say
it right now, right now.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Game one, you like.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
This?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
To me is a Final four team.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I truly believe this is the best team Ucla Mick
cornsad now in his six seasons, they've gotten close and
made runs with the Jimai Hawkes's and the Johnny Jizangs.
I got a feeling I just do and I not
feel like this about a UCLA basketball team in a
long time. You guys watched the game last night. Tyler Bildo,
(09:20):
the transfer, who's really good.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Well, they're number twenty two now, not for long, and
they're gonna play after that proclamation. They're gonna play New
Mexico and Polly Steve Wolferd doesn't have a chance.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
On Friday at eight o'clock at night? That game?
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (09:35):
In Vegas? By the way, neutral set game in Vegas?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Okay, So that's like a tournament type of deal.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Yeah, it's like the Desert Storm Classic or someone.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
So they're playing in the Desert Storm Classic with the
fallen statue of Saddam Hussein on the chest. Wit or
gets it?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Okay? So New Mexico versus UCLA and they're all the
way up to number twenty two?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Dylan Andrews? Yes, who I was on fire last night?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Kind of bie Yeah, hi hi yah, Peter, So big
news when it comes to the Bruins from Tim Kats
last night. Now, did he make that proclamation because he
felt something and felt he saw something in the first
game of.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
The year or was he trying to create content for
a call week because he had no call because he
had zero you make the call?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Well, it was twenty five minutes into a thirty minute show,
so I could have said it a lot.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Earlier to hit people started up. But the more and more.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
I talked to myself literally for twenty five minutes. The
more and more I talked myself into the fact that
this is a final fourteen.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You did not get a single call over the half hour.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I had one.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I had Tyler from somewhere. Tyler from somewhere. You didn't
have Solomon.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
No.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Solomon didn't call Lake Belbos quiet.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
No.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
And by the way, they only had forty five hundred
people at Paul Pavilion. Span its rider. This is gonna
be a final fourteen. Folks, get on the bandwagon.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Now.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You know daylight savings, you know, yeah, yet that people
get used. They probably had an hour, they were an
hour off end showing up, voting the station exactly.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Tyler Billadeh is really good.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
All right, it's time for the number of the Day's
Number of the day.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Well, we're in a double up pee. Two bits of
fast food news in your number of the day bit
number one fact not opinion. Okay, Wendy's is struggling Kate's way.
Nobody pushes Wendy's in these parts. Like Tim Kates. He
loves their French toast bites in the morning, and he
(11:30):
loves their chicken sandwiches and their nugs that they bring
by in the afternoons.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
And he likes the waspy look of Wendy's.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yes, she does. And I believe he likes that frosty
as well. Dips his fries in it. It's very good.
They're closing one hundred and forty stores.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
God not the one across from the Daily Breeze by
the mortuary. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
They say that it will be it will canvass the
entire country, and it will be low performing stores that close.
They say, look, Wendy, she's healthy. She may be old,
but she's healthy. She's got no medical issues. But there
are there's a seedy underbelly. Or maybe it's not seedy.
(12:09):
There is an underperforming underbelly and it needs the fat
needs to be trimmed. So if you feel like you
live by a Wendy's and you only go there because
it's the one fast food drive through that's always open.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Wendy's has government overreach problem.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
And you're just like, you know what, I'd like to
hit up the film whatever it might be, the Carls Junior.
But there's six cars and there's nobody at the Wendy.
So I'm just gonna go get a single in a
Frosty and call it a day. And you know that
cup of chili's not bad for ninety nine cents. So
keep an eye out if you've got a Wendy's that
is not performing, could be closing one for before the
end of the year. Second thing, coming home from the
(12:46):
flight from Cleveland late, did not eat any airplane food.
I decided to stop at the Taco Bell on a
follow up to try the decades of menu to see
if in fact it was up at the Seal Beach Talk.
And in fact it was, and in fact I purchased
a Mexi melt front of my set.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
It blew them out, one of those bloom clean out.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Well you jumped the ending of the story. Ah wait,
I got a text where a guy said, don't do it.
It blew me down.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Now.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I do not eat Taco Bell very often. I think
the last time I had Taco Bell was the cheese
at toasted petros To shrimp burrito from the way that's
Pikito mas. That's a different story. But I had that
Mexi milt and it tasted as I remembered back in
the eighties delicious, But my god, that I pay a price.
I paid a twelve hour price before I Wow. Yeah,
(13:40):
right when I got home.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
The Mexi melt took your pelt?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It did it? Unled? Hey, if I needed David. If
I was David Vesse and needed that colonoscopie the next day,
I'd have been ready to go. Everything would have been
just clean as a whistle. I was like, okay, wow it.
There is a reason why the old story used to
be you don't buy Taco bell, you just rent it.
Because I rented it that evening.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Take my pelt, Mexi Mountain, all right running. This is
the song of the day.
Speaker 6 (14:17):

sharp tongue have not.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
It is Scott Wolfe joining us on the Petrosen Money
Show on AMPI seventy l A Sports.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
What's cracking, Wolfie? How are you?
Speaker 5 (16:23):
How do you do?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
How do you do? Wolfy? Uh? You know a lot
of people are are very surprised that USC is so
seemingly helpless here in the Big Ten, But I don't.
I don't suppose that you are, Scott. Why are you
not surprised at USC's performance this year.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
It's kind of weird to me how right I've been
the last year or so about this. But it all
stems back to Lincoln Riley, who I have called a
fraud on occasion. This guy has like no conception of
what it means to play football in the Big ten
(17:02):
or at the high level these days, because he doesn't
like to run the ball, he doesn't play physical football,
he doesn't value really defense until this year when he
tried to slap together a staff from scratch. And you
know you can't win with just an air raid offense.
And you know he's throwing seventy percent of the time
(17:25):
in the first half last weekend against Washington and Washington's
dropping a million guys back on defense. And I don't
know what he's thinking.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
What were you thinking, Wolfe when he was hired. I'm
just thinking back to that presser and Mike Boone and
they say, right, everyone's excited. They finally get a legitimate,
a list head coach. So what did you feel then
when he was hired and how did it go so wrong?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Well?
Speaker 7 (17:55):
I wasn't as elated as so many other people. I
think I was more with like kind of how you act.
And I remember a couple of years back, but I thought, us,
he's a place where if you're competent, you can win.
But he's come in with a very stuff brand about
how he wants to play football. You know, you look
(18:15):
at the recruiting. Where are the offensive linemen? You know,
what about the defensive line? I mean you got to
win at the line of scrimmage, you got to run
the football. I sound like, you know, Vince Lombardi or something,
but you need those things. Watch Georgia play or Alabama
when Nick Saban was there. I mean, those those are
things you need to win. You can pull it off
(18:36):
kind of in the Pac twelve. But you know, last
year the Pac twelve was about as good as it's
been in a long time. So he paid the price.
And now he's losing to Maryland in Minnesota, and you know,
teams are being more physical. I think, I think that's
a big problem. And they bragged the I know Petro
Haspy heard this. They bragged how we gained fourteen hundred
(18:59):
pounds of muscle the offseason. Well, I haven't seen any difference.
I mean, where's the difference.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
No, it doesn't seem like that has really come to
fruition at all. But even if Lincoln Riley said, yeah,
I want to run the ball, and yeah, I'm going
to recruit offensive line and I'm really going to do
this and we're really going to develop the fronts, does
he have the pedigree? Does he have the chops? Could
he even do it if he wanted to? I mean
it's clear that he doesn't. I mean, I guess it's
(19:26):
kind of a stupid question because he throws the ball
thirty times in the first half of football games. But
if he wanted to, could he even do it? Then?
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Scott, Well, I think that's a big problem because he's
not getting the five star alignment because they know, why
should I go to USC? And I'm going to play
an air raid offense that does not prepare me for
the NFL. So these guys don't want to come to US, see,
they'd rather go to Oregon. Frankly, Yeah, So no, he's
not preparing them and he's not equipped. And you know,
(20:00):
to mention, the other thing is this is the time
a struggling coach needs like a base of support. He
has zero support at USC because the guy never leaves
his office and never talks to the students, never talks
to the alumni, he never talks to the staff that
people at work at USC, the season ticket holders. He
has no safety net to save him in a moment
(20:23):
like this.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Was he not properly vetted that just on his credentials
of all these Heisman Trophy, winning number one overall pick
quarterbacks is essentially why he was hired. And maybe these
were flags that they should have seen coming. Well.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
I think they were just so enamored with his you know,
record at Oklahoma, and you know there was this knock
the USC could never get a big name coach again,
and they threw you know, one hundred million dollars at him,
and now apparently they're going to have to pay him off,
you know, all that money if they fire him, so
they can't fire them. So you remember, you guys were
(21:03):
laughing at Mike Bone was mispronouncing of sports source analytics.
He called them sports sorts at the press conference. You know,
they relied on that group to back up the Riley
higher And you know where where is Mike Bone or
his little Lackey brand and SASMA these days? Because I'd
(21:23):
love to hear from them to kind of justify what's
happened in the last three years.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
It's been ugly. There's no doubt about it. Is there
any way that Lincoln Riley could be shamed out of town?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Well?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Fee, I mean, he clearly doesn't like it here. He's
getting bullied by like twenty four year old guys in
the media that I mean, it's pretty amazing to watch
it happen that he said he wasn't going to make
a change at quarterback or he wasn't even thinking about it,
and now all of a sudden he's made a change.
Like every week something like this happens. Do you think
(21:55):
that there's a way out of this for USC that
doesn't cost him eighty million dollars.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
I mean, the only way I could see it is
if an NFL team came. But why would they want
a guy who's four and five and twelve and twelve
in his last twenty four games. He's not going to leave,
you know, unless he was paid off. So he's just
you know, he's got it made right now in terms
of money, and he's got his mansion and palace Verde
(22:22):
that he lives in, so you know, you can't get
rid of the guy. That's the problem. And now they're
spending you know, over one hundred million dollars to give
him a football building that they don't need, just because
he wants it. So they're now stuck with the guy
because they overpaid and they you know, probably didn't do
great research. Honestly, I sounded like they hired him, you know,
(22:46):
kind of hastily because they were shocked that he wanted
to come. But he wanted to get out of the SEC.
And now he doesn't want to be in the Big
ten and down the road, he doesn't want to play
Notre Dame. So this is the guy you're stuck with now.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Is there do you mean, Look, it's probably hard for you,
Like you said, well if because he sits in his office,
he doesn't interact with anybody. He never does any interviews.
He's not out with you the people. Do you get
the sense that there is maybe an out that he
hates it as well, that he doesn't like California, that
he wants to be back in Texas or in a
place like that, and maybe there is a path to
(23:20):
get out from under this.
Speaker 7 (23:23):
You know, Let's say somebody like Florida had a lot
of money and wanted to make a stab at him.
I think something like that I could see happening. But
you know, I don't know who would pay him right
now based on his record to come. It's not going
to excite the fans at a new school if he comes,
(23:44):
unless they're really bad.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
So South Florida would lie.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I don't know. You know, the Dallas Cowboys would have
been considered an option, but can you imagine them hiring him?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Now?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Dad, what do you think Scott is going to happen
with Jade Mayava's quarter back as opposed to Miller Moss.
I would suppose anybody out there throwing at sixty times
is going to have a tough time.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
Well, I like his athleticism and he can run. He
can give them a RPO, you know, aspect to the offense.
So I think he's going to add some life to
the offense. But we're game ten now, the season's over basically,
so you know it'll be nice if he comes in.
I think they'll beat Nebraska with him. You know that
(24:30):
he has to be UCLA, So MIAV is probably his
only hope because the team is so listless right now.
They need somebody to kind of give them a boost
of any kind. So you know, he might as well
do it. But you know, this is the quarterback whisper.
You know, in game ten, he's making the change. Like
why did it take so long? As he's making the
(24:50):
change now.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
No, everything that everybody's said about Lincoln Riley as far
as being a legendary coach and all of these different things,
well they're kind of dissipating with every single game that
goes on while he's wearing that USC polo. You know,
I hear a lot of people talking about USC ruin
the whole Pac twelve just so they could lose five
(25:12):
big ten games in twenty twenty four, but as far
as the money goes, USC would have done this move
no matter what. Right am I wrong to say that?
Or is there is there?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Because the way they're losing is their regret about the
move that they made.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Oh no, they don't care about that.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
That's what they.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
Could care less about the winning than the losing part is.
I mean, they just want the eighty million dollars that
they're getting, and because you know, frankly, they would have
had a better chance at the college football playoffs if
they'd stayed in the Pac twelve. No, no, no, But
they want that big fat paycheck from the Big ten
and that's all they ever care about. And you know,
(25:55):
I can kind of see why they did it. I mean,
if there's a lot of rumors right now that the
university's got a deficit financially that they got a deal with,
so you know, they need money at the moment, and
that's why paying off Lincoln Riley's probably even more of
a pipe dream at the moment.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Well, if they make a bowl game, there'll be a
fat check coming their way or not, or they have
to write a check for tickets and they lose money
on that deal. But you mentioned Nebraska, you think they
beat them. Do they win two of their last three
to become Bowl eligible? Nebraska, Ucla, Notre Dame.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
I think that's really tough to say, you know, with
any confidence at the moment, because you can see UCLA
is improving and that's at the Rose Bowl, and then
Notre Dame is I assume they're as good as Maryland
and Washington and Minnesota, and you know, Notre Dame's going
(26:52):
to have something to play for it. And the thing
that I thought was astounding last season was the way
that they just walked into that UCLA game and acted
like they didn't even care. Lincoln Riley didn't even go
to the rally that week to talk to the students.
They just went through the motions. They can't pull that
(27:12):
this year with the fans, So you know, that's why
I think he's trying to pull nav out of a
hat to see if they can get rescued by him.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
You know, you've been around USC football for years and years,
and you're talking about a blue blood, or at least
they think of themselves as a blue blood, and the
players think of themselves as the top players in the country.
When a USC team loses, it's kind of hard to
get everybody to lock arms, like hard, like you would
a Oregon State or something and march forward because everybody
(27:45):
starts pointing fingers and blaming others. What impression do you
get of this team, if you get any at all
regarding how they can face this adversity, they haven't done
well so far.
Speaker 7 (27:58):
Well, here's the problem these days with a team like
the USC. A lot of these guys are now thinking
about their NFL future or maybe they're thinking about the
transfer portal because they're not having the seasons they expected
to have. So you've got kind of a fight between
(28:19):
the guys that want to try to hold things together,
and then you have these other guys now that are like, hey,
we're four and five, we're not going to do anything.
I got to worry about myself and how about I
don't want to get injured the last three games. So
it's a tough challenge now for teams like USC that
don't have a lot to play for. And I suspect
(28:41):
that's why they look so bad in that UCLA game
I was talking about last year. So you know, Riley's
not an inspirational guy, but he's got to figure out
a way to keep these guys going, because you don't
want a total collapse. As bad as it's been, it
could get worse real quick.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Scott, did you go to the basketball game last night
and so far? Howe your interactions with coach.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Musbin I have to say, like most of the people
of the arena, I missed the game judging by the
empty seats that we're there. But I think Eric Musselman
is doing everything he can to promote the program, and
he's got a whole new team. I think they're going
to be respectable this year. So considering the way football
(29:27):
is going, it probably is going to be a relief
to watch them play this season.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Get on the must bus. The one and only Scott Wolfe,
a hero to the people. Always great stuff on USC
and it's always a hopeless situation inside USC dot blog
the great Scott. Well, thanks Wolfe. Have a great week.

also provide an escape for those of you that are
tired so damn tired of conventional sports talk radio. What
we do here great sports talk, totally different. Thank you
(31:39):
Petros for bringing the bruh pandemic to light. I've been
telling my nephews for the last few years, unless you
grew up in Hawaii, yeah, it's a real bad look.
I've been getting broad by my daughters recently, my daughter
and her friends, I should say, only have one daughter,
and you know, hey, bro, broh and just don't like bro,
(32:02):
what are you doing like? It's not okay?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Parker brought me one.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I'm not your bro. We're not gonna be bros. We're
never gonna be bros. I'm not your brawl, none of
those things. And I don't want to hear it from anybody,
let alone my child. I got laborum tear surgery in June.
I'm no moushin mouga sacred samurai, but I'm still weak
(32:30):
as af. No way, Oh Tari's back for the spring?
Is that?
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Jason McIntyre, Thanks, Bud, Thanks for your weighing in on
that one.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
He got labor m surgery. He knows what it's like.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
He does. Uh now, I don't know if he got
a scope or I'm just like I'm built just like
show a similar injury, same level of care. And you
want to talk about rehab, I can tell you right now.
I attacked it just like the Dodgers are going to
have him attack it the PT people. I was with
(33:08):
top shelf. I was putting in six hours a day,
and there's no way I'd be ready for spring training.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
I'm still very weak. I'm nowhere near back to.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Hitting the ball one hundred and ten miles an hour
off my bat. Oh I know, I am not. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
It is big news that Tanis shoulder didn't just pop
out and pop back in, but something tore on the way,
and that would be his laborm. Now, shoulder surgery is
a tricky thing and a lot of people opt just
never to get it and decide to be in pain
because what they usually tell you before his shoulder surgery
is well, this, whatever your problem is, is not quote
(33:50):
unquote one hundred percent correctable. Yeah, that's mine right, correctable,
never got surgery. I've got a bunch of sticking at
the top of my left shoulder.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
That is why you are not hitting in the major
leagues today. You're same as the guy no ways ready
for spring training.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
You were also not a motion mooga guy.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
And the reason is this, Like if you think about
I mean, I'm no orthopedist like your friends. But the
reason that people's knees go out, uh and they're correctible
is because they only usually go out one way with
one ligament, and if it goes out, then they fix
that ligament. And yeah, your knee sucks, but it's correctible.
Your shoulder could pop out any which way, especially if
(34:32):
it already did, and so when they fix it, it
doesn't necessarily fix the problem. Now, we should probably get
a doctor on to talk about it if we really
want to know about Otawni's labram. But I will only
trust that doctor Matt if he's wearing a white coat,
because otherwise, how do I know that that's a medical doctor?
Speaker 2 (34:53):
You know?
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Like I like when they're on TV and they wear
their stethoscope, right, and it's like you're not in a hospital,
you're a TV studio, but you're wearing your So I
make sure I know what if we punch that guy
up and he talks in a manner like, well, boys,
let me walk you through it here, and he's wearing
like a three piece suit with a fedora and he
has a little medical bag, then will you take it
as an authority like a door to door doctor. Yes,
(35:15):
like he makes house calls.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
You're gonna try to Is he gonna try to give
me cocaine?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Is it like as a prescription for like a sinus infection,
blood letting?
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Okay, Yes, I'll take that, doctor, Joe, that's an expert.
So that's a lot of the reason people don't get
their shoulders fixed, because they're not necessarily fixable. But I
would imagine, like Matt was alluding to, unlike Matt's injury
many years ago and the gentleman listener who got his
laborum fixed recently, we don't really know the circumstances of
(35:48):
sh at Shohil Toddie's care, the level of care available
to a billion dollar athlete.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
My PT was at the y in a corner with
some ropes in.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
You know, Mat had you invest in a little bit
more like Lebron invests in.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
His body million dollars a year, you'd be doing something different.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Right now.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
I have a lot of drugs too.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Yeah. Oh, you might be like Dan liked or Dave.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Yes, it looked like Quagmire.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Well, thank you, that's some good information on the text ASO,
and we'll be back with more. The Petrosen Money Show
