Gonging out Vic Petro, San Money Am five seven e

Thank you, a big thank you to you, big thank

You gotta roll it all out today, Matt. You got
(01:02):
to do your NFL picks today. You've got to do
your your Thanksgiving today. You've got to lament the Harbor loss.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Yeah, you got a chin to chin and and Jim
took it on the chin and you're gonna have to
talk about all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I don't know if three three and a half hours
is a not Well, maybe we stay, maybe we cover
up the u c l A Southern Utah University Thunderbird game.
I'm not done doing what I need to do.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Check the iHeartRadio app for an extra Petrosen Money podcast.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Now I want because you are hitting the road as well.
I would like.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
This to be an example for our listeners of how
not to act. If you wake up in the morning
and you act like me when you have a trip
ap pending trip to the Midwest, travel for Thanksgiving, then
you're not Then you're not living correctly. Now, Matt Smith,
on the other we are we are a modus, but
(02:04):
we are a model of two men going in two
different directions. Well, in this case literally Matt is actually
we're going basically going to go spot. Matt is freshly shorn,
coming off calling an exciting football game, had a great call.
I listened to a lot of it. I synked it
up and it was a great, very descriptive call of
(02:25):
what was happening in the game and didn't get too
upset about the officials. And now Matt's going to go
back east to see his family and then meet the
Chargers in Atlanta, or come back here and then go
to Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
To meet them there, Okay, and to fly down there
Friday night, land almost at the exact same time as
the team.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
And you would not know that that but Matt basically,
you know, I lose track. But Matt gets on a plane,
you know, maybe once every two weeks, every other week,
even if it's not the football season, when he travels
with the Charge. Matt travels for college basketball.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I've already checked all my flights for the college basketballs.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
His daughter lives in New York. Another daughter, you know,
up in Slowtown from time to time. So Matt moves
all around and even Kates, you know, even Ronnie will
make an undercover trip to New Orleans. Right, So you
don't know that Matt's got a trip on the books.
He comes in here, chipper, beautiful haircut. Hey got his
(03:27):
turkey recipe. The other hand, old time gentleman's parder I got.
I got a travel assignment about a week ago yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You did not know you were traveling. I had an
idea because for how long, Well, the last week of
the season at Fox is always tricky, and for what
I do, which is normally call games in the studio,
sometimes that doesn't fly at the end of the year
for a few reasons. One is, yeah, if it's a
(03:59):
Big ten game, well they just tell you and you
do whatever they say. So if it's a big ten game,
they travel to those unless produced playing or something. And no,
I think they have to travel to all big ten games.
And I think if there's a ranked team, you got
to see the glory of ross Aid Stadium a lot
of the time.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
You know, if it's a ranked team, you know they'll
send you for that. But I got an assignment to
go to East Lansing, Michigan last week, and I've literally
been catatonic ever since. I can't sleep, I'm not eating.
I have changed the travel like seven times. The travel
people are ready to get pitchforks and torches. Well we've
(04:39):
had to because they changed it like originally, Like if
you really want.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
To know, I think people want to know why you've
been catatonic for a week.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
I'm upset. I have a big I have them in
the midst of a terrible nervous breakdown. But today, two
days ago, yesterday or Sunday morning. Okay, I got texted
Sunday more. They came in with a breeze. I'm driving
to yoga and I get a text and about anyone.
(05:08):
The text says, Hey, Michigan State wants to do their
normal schedule and meet with you on Friday during the day.
Can you be in East Lansing during the day to
meet with your friend Jonathan Smith? And the answer has
to be yes, I can, Yes, I can. I'd be
happy to leave.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
My house at ten o'clock at nights Thanksgiving dinner. Now
I've done that before. Are you gonna read? I have
to and Detroit? You're fine?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
That read out of Detroit. But then there was started
to be a question about the escape. And as you know, Matt,
there's nothing more important than the escape, no doubt. Saturday
afternoons and what I did I couldn't find a first
I was ready to stay the night at the Airport
hotel in Detroit, cut.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
My losses into pieces.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Watch SC Noble, sc Notre Dame is gonna be on
while I'm on, so I don't want to watch watch something,
go to sleep, wake up, and then go back. But
there was no first class available and I'll be goddamned
if I'm going to fly Sunday after Thanksgiving the next morning.
So then, brilliantly I found a flight to Detroit. From
(06:19):
Detroit to Nashville southwest to LA get in around two
three in.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
The morning, bing bang boom.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
But I've never been to East Lansing. My producer, who's
from Michigan, but he's a Michigan guy, say like.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
An Oregon State Portland sort of deal. We're working with here.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Right, And I'm like, how far is this? Can I
make it? It's a three thirty kick. Let's say the
game's over at seven. Ten minutes to get down there,
ten minutes to get out, nine thirty flight out of
Detroit a little too tight.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
It is tight, very tight, very tight.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
And I had an escape plan and all that, and
then this morning like a diamond bullet, and it's very upsetting,
you know.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Man.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I've tried not to think about it. I try to
think about other things. It'll be a long three and
a half hours for this show. I try.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
What'd you get a textos Or texted me this morning
and he said.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Brought to you by your so cal toyota. Do you
want to I'll.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Take advice from a freaking bot. It could be an
Indian guy in Calcutta, exactly right. But instead I get
a text that goes, you idiot, you fool. Don't you
know that East Lancing is only an hour from Grand
Rapids and you can catch a needle deed o' hair
and get out that way. And I said, I'll be damned.
(07:48):
And I looked it up and I said, oh, Grand
Rapids is closer, and I'm going to take that needle
and the flight, you're.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Good is a half hour later, exactly right. And the
what Now, have I ever been to Grand Rapids? No? Beautiful?
Have I ever been to eat?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I think of the rapids and river runs through and
they are grand. Can't imagine anything go They're not.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Small, they are grand, those rapids.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
And then I'm like, and this is this is modern
college football travel kids, just so you could know all about.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
It's how the sausages make. Okay, this is it, and
mad ass, then just show up on your plate ready
to eat. We gotta be made. They got to be made.
This is like the portrait of the Screaming Pope. One
is Matt and he's all happy sitting there and I'm
on the other side. Ah, just having a nervous breakdown,
and I'll be accommodated first class. Somebody's gonna pick me
up in a town car. Only our finest bourbon sirch only.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Wait, it's our most modestly priced Earn and so Grand Rapids.
So then I figure the Grand Rapids thing. I go
into yoga. Phone starts blowing up. Helly the spotter guy Grayson,
like twenty three year old kid who I screamed at
last week.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
You're gonna drive me to Detroit. You're gonna get a
room in Detroit. You're gonna leave me there. You're gonna
drop off the car, and I'm gonna make that thing.
Oh no, And so Grayson starts texting, like I.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Thought you were gonna go to Detroit with me. I
gotta believe the hotel. I said, shut up, you gotta
take Kelly to Detroit. You still have a purpose, leave
me be. So I'm in the midst of working through
that anyway. Yes, I'm checking the weather for delays.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
You a holes. Nothing you can do about that, Yeah, listen,
you control the things you can control. You can't control
the weather delay. You can book the fight you booked
a flight, you get your itinerary.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
I thought it was a better move Grand Rapids, Matt,
because then I'm calling the game and every guy that
gets hurt, You're like, god, damn it.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
You know, every review that thing starts looking like, oh,
you're in.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
The talk back going, you son of a batch. You know,
I did that once and it was terrible. I did
that at Arizona. It was terrible. I did a Kansas
Kansas State game and then had to travel to Tucson.
Now I'm just fried. Thanksgiving weekend eat Thanksgiving with DeMarco
Murray at the Oriads.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
He got an escort.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
At that point, he got over Thanksgiving dinner, went up
to his room and asked that one of the ba's
delivered doritos to the room. That was our last game together.
And then I went to Tucson to do the duel
in the desert. And the whole time during the duel
in the desert is a real tight fit with the
Tucson cops, you know, with the escort from the Tucson cops.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
And I was like, flying on a Tucson you got
to go to Phoenix, Tucson. There we go.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
The airport closes early. Now and I'm just like god
dam like every delay. And then it got to the
point where like it got so late that I was
just resigned to lose and not make.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
It going to the Chiba Hut tonight. And then we
made it.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
There we go, and then I felt stupid for acting
like an idiot the whole game, like, calm down, You're
here to do the job, not just to fly home.
You've got to do the job. I'm just used to
doing the job.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
No, I hear you. I have probably stressed out over
fifteen trips home. Never once have I missed. The only
reason I did not miss a flight from Kansas City
is because I was with Brian Baldinger and he crumbled
up two one hundred dollars bills and threw them at
the head of the limo driver and said, I said
drive gee damn it, and the guy just got on
(11:16):
the shoulder. I started appeeling by everything, and we made
it with about ten minutes to spare. I had a
bad moment in West Virginia where the uh, the higher
driver must add some kind of stroke or something like
pulled over.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
And been like the whole like the director, what is
wrong with you? I was just like shut up, just
just don't upset him.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Breathe, let him breathe. It's stressful for him too.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Guys terrible, Yes, Kate, So Saturday, for that four hour window,
are you encouraging people to oh, yeah, textos, to text
you updates like, Hey, this guy's not kidd up fast.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Oh it looks like it's spraying. Ekle.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
I shouldn't have shared so much and I'm really struggling
with my anxiety and I should not have shared so much,
but I did.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
They're gonna text you whether updates, but I got.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
That's got a text this morning He's like, Hey, go
to this brewery. This brewery, this brewery that sucks weather.
It's really bad this week and you're in a rough time.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Like thanks a whole it is. No.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I text Tim Brando and I'm like, hey, Brando, what's
that booth like? That is not pristine photo deck?
Speaker 6 (12:24):
That drive from East Lanting the Grand Rapids on the
ninety six, it's pretty good about an hour long, unless
there's an accident. Then you're really shut up.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Now, I'll say this, Kates, if you want to sound
like a real local, you know they're in the Midwest,
unlike out here on the West Coast, it's just called
the number. It's just ninety six on ninety six. You
don't say on the ninety six, you say on ninety six.
It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Yeah, I mean,
that's what they do. It's what they do on ninety six,
because it's not the Interstate ninety six, it's Interstate ninety six.
(12:55):
I'm going to say state ninety six, said the driver.
I'm going to be like, hey, you drive ninety six.
There you go say it like that exactly right. What's
the story on ninety six these days? Yeah, I had
a friend. I had a friend in La said, it's
a real problem construction everywhere away to your phone's like, hey, man,
stormfruck coming into Grand Rapids right now. I hope you
(13:18):
can get out in the next two hours because that
thing's gonna close. The eye is gonna close. Last thing.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
So if it's forty two to thirteen or fourth quarter
and they're like, you know what, did he get a
foot down or not, let's go to the booth for
an answer. Replay, You're gonna be like, son of a.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
No, well, yeah, but we do that. You know, when
we're sitting in the studio. Who left the baseball game?
Speaker 5 (13:38):
No, well, uh, that guy left and then Mac Brown,
who just got fired, had to leave a Utah BYU game, right,
you know he had to leave a BYU game because
he had to get on a plane to go back
and do ABC. The guy that left the baseball game
was the guy that used to do the morning show
at NFL.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yes, Brian, Oh, come on, Kates, you know who it
is used to work in Fox Sports Radio hates us.
I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
I can't think of his last name.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
He's a guy that talks like this. Yeah, that guy
left the last Pac twelve baseball game because he had
a family thing. I thought he just had to make
a flight. He had like a family thing. The next
day he was like, I will not leave my family.
He was like, okay, and don't take the job. I
guess I don't know. Yeah, no, I stay till I
won't leave. Guys, if I need to sleep in East Lansing,
(14:23):
I mean I will. Rapids. I've been through the warst
The rapids are grand. I'd like to see them. Well.
May all of our travel and may all of your
holiday travel be free from Worrie.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Well, that's the other thing, Matt, Like, if I'm going
to hang around on Sunday morning, that's one of the
worst travel days. Like I'm traveling Friday night. No, I
mean Saturday night for Thursday night. No one's leaving on
Thanksgiving and Saturday night in the middle of the night
in O'Hare and Grand Rapids. You know, probably not the
worst thing. So that is my hope.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Anyway, Yeah, I'm flying from Midway to Atlanta on Friday.
Even my flight was nineteen dollars frontier. I bought every
single upgrade possible that I could, and it's still only
totaled ninety dollars. And I said, how is this still available?
How is somebody with only four of these seats in
(15:16):
first class for ninety dollars instead of nineteen? How or
not all of them gone? And I am the first
one to turn. No one's gone to Atlanta, I guess.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
So we'll wait till you see the people around you
on that flight.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Oh there's going to be a curtain. Well there they're
first going to be a curtain.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
They're thirsty at Atlanta and there's beer in Texarcana.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Did you make it down to Atlanta. No, two gentlemen
got into a fight, we were re routed, and after
we got back up in the air, two women got
into a fight and we were rerouted again. I'm stuck.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
The worst part is, you know, I've traveled for decades
to do college football, and I just do it much
less now. But I've always always really struggled. And the
more trips the better, right, you just getting new a rhythm,
the less catastrophic anxiety. But that's neither here nor there.
We have great sports Talk to perform exactly, and we
(16:06):
eat sports talk. We got a flip top story of
the day, which I believe is the Turkey recipe.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
We're gonna do it. We're not gonna be here tomorrow. Yeah,
you gotta go because I know tomorrow you're gonna send
out your message. We talked a little bit about that yesterday. Yeah,
about whether or not we're too old.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Well, my crippling anxiety hurts with inspiration. Not gonna lie,
and the show for me is very much inspiration based.
We'll find and uh and then you know, Don McLean
and I were chopping it up and don you know,
likes it, wants me to do it.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Yeah, I do too, specifically because of my current station
in life. Oh your kids. Yes, our flight arrives into
Chicago at seven forty pm, and on Blackout Wednesday. My
middle daughter says, what time are we landing? Seven? What
time do you think will be back at gramm Unpoppy.

Thanksgiving and we have to get a rental car that
could take a considerable amount of time. Show the movie.
I expect to be out with cousin Ethan for Blackout

to come pick you up. Right. Yeah, Well, I don't know.
Ethan missed his flight from Tampa home. That's the kind
(17:44):
of kid that Ethan is. He's a great kid. Is
he not gonna make a damn mess. Is he gonna
make it to blackout Friday? I don't know blackout Wednesdays.
I would bet against it if if asked. So, who's

And I said, hey, and is Ethan there? No, he
missed his flight. Well, how are you getting home? Uncle

Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah, as it's time to give thanks to our King
of the kitchen, whose food nobody here has ever actually tasted.
Cure it's Matt Muddy Smith's turkey recipe.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
All right, beautiful, well done everybody, We're we're not out
of practice.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
No, well done, well executed eighteen years. I'm flying home
to Chicago, as you mentioned in the last segment, to
spend Thanksgiving with the family for the first time since
nineteen ninety one. It's been a while since I have
sat around a zudoc household lit with my drunk cousins.
(22:28):
And that the Bears and Lions are playing, there's going
to be freaking hilarious they're all miserable. The hopes on
Caleb are still sky high, and it should be fantastic
to be in the middle of it. So because I
will be off through the week after today. It is
an annual. It is a tribute to my grandmother Mary Zudoc,
(22:49):
matriarch of my mother's side of the family, and I
think it is especially important to do it this year.
Maybe it's just because I discovered this and they've been
around for so long, but I feel as though Instagram cooks,
TikTok recipes have become more prevalent in my timeline the
last year. Social media chefs that think they can video
(23:15):
themselves making I don't know. They'll jam a block of
elveta into a turkey cavity and do crazy stuff. Yeah,
pour breadcrumbs all over the bird and then they put
on maple syrup and a cup of fruit loose.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Somebody taped a banana to a canvas as fine art
and it sold for like ten billion.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Yeah remember the board ape? Oh yeah, how's that going?
Like Whylan said when he sag it to Willie, I'll
change the last word cryptos back though. Oh yeah, big
time just escades. Maybe it's time we got back to
the basic basics of not loving this case, but cooking
(23:54):
the basics of cooking. So Grandma orn Right at the
turn of the century passed quite a while back, But
are cooking or baking the best I'd ever had? Brought
us together, like many families at Thanksgiving, the old style,
the Schlitz, the stros brought us together for all the boys,
no matter how old. Maybe you got a little dixie cup,
(24:16):
Maybe yours was watered down a little bit, little SuDS
for the boys Thanksgiving after all in football song, Grandma
zudoc rule number one, salt butter can never use too much.
You're a restaurant man, pee, you know, salt, butter, butter, salt,
and then add some butter and salt, some pig fat,
some grease. Thanksgiving, stop counting calories. You eat them all
(24:39):
and then you double it. That's what we're here for,
not refined sugars like fruit loops and freaking gummy nerds. Yeah,
but salt and butter. You're taking that food poisoning out.
We started this in two thousand and seven. Salt butter
before it was spiced that people would ask you about
(25:01):
on the textiles. So well, what about rosemaar. What about
putting in an apple in the cavity. Yeah, yeah, Now
they're like, I was thinking about putting it in a
crock pot with chili beans and honeys cinnamon and cinnamon, yes,
and circus peanuts, curry curry powder, and I was gonna
put chili on top of it. No Mexican pizza from
(25:25):
Taco Bell. What I do is I crumbled that up
and I jam it into the cavity with three big macs.
And that's how I make my stuffing. It's big max
and celery and I bake. That sounds pretty good. Actually,
that kind of does. Actually I did that. Everybody likes
butter and salt. It's why you like going to restaurants
more than the food you make at home, because you
count your calories in the kitchen, but you don't when
(25:46):
you're sitting in a booth. Be it faux leather or
tal leather, it's exactly right. Take the calories off the
menu already. I'm tired of eating the hoisten bowl. Why
are you cooking the bird if you're asking that question,
because you're gonna be asked to carve the bird and
serve the bird, and that means it's your bird. It
is a reflection of you, your family and your guests.
(26:08):
So if you're serving it, they're gonna assume you made it.
So why not go down based on your own efforts.
Nowadays buy pre Brian birds are pretty much standard. Before
we used to talk about soaking the turkey and salt.
How you're gonna buy it, Brian, Well, I'm not making
the turkey this year because for the first time since
ninety one, I'm going back my cousin Claude. Are you
(26:30):
gonna be able to not judge him? Oh, Claudie, I
will judge her, Darrel her husband, I will probably judge him.
I'll be like, Darrel, you make that bird, and oh
Claude made it. She does a great jab in a
kitchen windo her. Well, if you're gonna you might give
Claude a carve it, Claude Lemieux the side ee if
you do want to brind it, because you're getting one
of them natural birds, free range kind of things. Use
(26:51):
a stockpot. I used to go with a bucket half
cup of table salt per gallon of water, so probably
two gallons of water one cup of salt overnight. Average
bird twelve eighteen pounds oven goes to four hundred oven
rack lowest position. If it's bigger than eighteen, go to
four to twenty five, not four hundred. You line a
large v rack with tinfoil heavy duty preferably small knife
poke in twenty five or so holes. Put the rack
(27:12):
in a large roasting pan. If you don't want to
turn your bird halfway through, do not use the foil.
Just use the rack and roast it breast up little,
get that stockpot, pull out the turkey, rinse it inside
and out. Pad it dry with paper tiles. Do not
jam dragon fruit or apple jacks, or English muffins or
(27:36):
Trader Joe's sour cream and onion puffs in the center
of it. Just try it out, and you know to
tuck the tie, tuck the drumsticks, time the wingtips, all that.
When the fine no I do two or three pounds,
I'd go pounds tablespoons, three tablespoons melted butter on the breasts,
three tablespoons on the back, breast down. You're going to
(27:59):
roast that twelve to eighteen for forty five minutes at
four hundred an hour. If it's the bigger bird and
your pull it out. Keep the oven door closed. You
don't want that heat to escape. Reduce the heat to
three twenty five. Grab the bird with potholders, flip it
breast side up, Add another two to three tablespoons of
melted butter. Roast it for another fifty minutes for the
smaller bird, twelve to fifteen hour fifteen, if it's fifteen
(28:20):
to eighteen two hours for eighteen twenty. Now, I think
it's so different from what like we started this so
long ago. Now you just have the instant read thermometer.
Yeah it's different. Yeah, you jam it in there, and
you know you want the breast to be one sixty five,
you want the thigh to be one seventy five. So
whatever with time, get yourself one of those prong things
and it'll tell you this is the key. People. Let
(28:41):
it sit. I don't care if people got to wait
for dinner. You let it sit. Put some foil on it.
Like you think clone has that kind of self control.
I hope. So I'm gonna make sure she knows I'm
gonna get there early, heating up all them dips and chips.
You want to put a nice beach towel over it,
as well. That works very well to keep the heat
in there. Let it stand cook in its own juices
for thirty to forty minutes. You pull it out, you
(29:04):
cut it right away. All the moisture gone. I've seen that.
Mean it's right. It's terrible. Touch that bird and just
just opens up and there's no meat. Little secret move
here right before you carve it, grab a stick of butter.
Love up them boobies. Maybe it's not my secret move,
but it's a Mary Zodox special. Leave the oven on
by the way. More on that in a moment. Carve
(29:25):
it if you've never done it. You bend the legs
away from the body. You cut the knife along the
natural line, expose the joint. It'll run right through. It
comes off easy. Down the keel bone. Make that slit.
Pull the breast off the breastbone with your knife. Keep
the skin on there all the way to the joint.
Pull that off the wings. Last thing to come off,
natural separation. Get the legs, separate the thigh, break the joint,
cut the bone, slice against the grain, same with the breast.
(29:48):
It'll be more moist And then finally when it's on
the platter to put it back in the oven for
like three to four minutes, A couple pads of butter
on top of that. Wheez, yeah, a little bit of
heat and nice and warm, and then you start it.
Everybody wins, right, clawk. What's gonna happen? Matt?
Speaker 5 (30:05):
I mean, you're not gonna be cooking the turkey? Are
you gonna be able to control yourself? That's like sitting
in the booth with somebody else.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Calling the game. I'll be hovering. Now, you go ahead
and do your thing, nance I'm just gonna stand back here.
I'll be hovering. That's an interesting call. So you saw, huh.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Paul Sunderland used to do that to us. So he'd
do the pregame and then he'd come up and stand
over Barry and I and be like I.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Disagree, Like, get out here, here's a michelo. Matt, go
downstairs and watch the game. All right, you shouldn't any help.
I put more butter on that if I were you.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
But that's just me.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
You know, I'm saying you should stop by the food
line or whatever they got out there and get a
bird Kroger's. No, just get a giant thing of salt
and a huge bag of Butter just be like I'm
a rod I'm here, or make them listen to this, guys,
it's just ten minutes. Listen to the podcast. I'm gonna
(30:56):
pull it up in three two one play everybody, Little Bertie,
Marry Zudoc.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Yeah, everybody will be all happy. Oh yeah, hear about
Zudoc being shown love here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Absolutely now. Has the repass recipe evolved a little bit
over the years, hasn't stayed the same. I typically cook
it every year, but like I said, I have not.
I've been here for every Thanksgiving since nineteen ninety two.
Last time I went home ninety one, so first time
not having anything to do with the bird. And what
(31:32):
am I doing with myself? I just don't know what
to do. If wants me to come up early, let
me come up early. Hellop you with the bird, Darryl? Hello,
just think connected. Hello, Are you seeing as somebody who's
going to like captain the ship?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
No?
Speaker 5 (31:47):
When he shows up, when Matt comes to town, he's
gonna grab the helm and take us home.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Matt tends to get the next generation too riled up.
I've kind of taken the place of my uncle Frank,
who was the guy that fed us all kids the
beers copy. So I feel like that's my position now,
Uncle Frank passed that rrupting the youth, corrupting the youth
with alcohol. Fair enough?
Speaker 5 (32:11):
All right, we'll return uh the guy that has to
uncorrupt the youth later.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Pastor Matthew.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Oh, yes, he is going to join us in the
very next segment, and we're going to talk about the
season of giving at the Dream Center in Los Angeles
and what wonderful work he does still works with our
dear friend Justin Turner, I know. So we will celebrate
and talk to the great Pastor Matthew and find a
way to help some people this holiday season still to come.
(32:38):
Hot Stove Talk with David Vasse, Football, Mark Sanchez, Great
Sports Talk on a two ed mono Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Great Sports Talk, Thanks for listening. Put throw some money

Speaker 5 (33:27):
It's an annual. Pastor Matthew always great to talk to.
He runs the Dream Center LA, serving fifteen hundred meals
on Thanksgiving and raising money to give ten thousand presents
to those in need during our annual season of giving.
You could help by donating an am FI seventy LA,
sports dot org or dream Center dot org. You can
(33:47):
buy a toy for a child for twenty bucks. One
hundred dollars buys five kids a toy, and again, Pastor
Matthew just one of those people. The holiday season, a
lot of us, like myself, start to worry about ourselves
and how comfortable we're going to be and whatever we
have to do. Some are worried about how dry cousin
(34:08):
clothes turkey's going to be. But Pastor Matthew he wonders
about how many people he can help and how many
people they can reach out to and touch during the
holiday season. We're always happy to have him. Pastor Matthew Barnett,
founder of the Dream Center pastor, Matthew, how are you.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I'm doing great, man, Thank you for that build up.
That feels great. I'm gonna play that a recording to
remind myself of those things every now and then.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Is it hard? I mean, I mean it can't be easy.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
It can't be you know, there's got to be two
steps forward and a step back whenever you're trying to
help people that are in trouble and not everybody is
able to be helped. You know, this time of year,
does it bum you out or do you feel energized.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
To do this?
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Yeah, it's a little bit of both. Really. You know,
you're glad that you could be a solution, but it's
very tough.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Last week on a Thursday night, it was like eight
o'clock and our clothing store opens at ten o'clock in
the morning, and I saw the families lining up eight pm,
just for a regular clothing store walk through. And I
saw them, I said, what do you guys here for?
And they said, oh, we're just lining up for the
clothing store. And I've never seen that before. We've never had,
like the night before people lining up to go to
(35:19):
the store. And a little kid was waiting in line,
and I said, you know what, we'll hold your spot. Man,
come back later. You should have to wait this long.
And the little kid said, is there going to be
Christmas this year? And I said, well, it's Christmas every
year and he said, yeah, but really I only have
Christmas at the Dream Center. And then when I heard that,
(35:40):
you know, and I I thought about this event December fourteenth,
and all the people on your network that listen to
this show and all they've given to make this happen
every single year, to make this the most extraordinary event
I've ever seen them honestly my entire life. There's roller coasters,
there's it's absolutely a party you would never see and
the little kids right around the neighborhood and the bike
(36:01):
they got last year from your guys' contribution to kindness.
It's amazing. You know, we really think about the legacy
that this network has led, that's had in the community
where people have something to look forward to. You know,
very rarely in life do you have something on that
calendar that you're like, this is an event of a lifetime.
And because of your kindness generosity, we get to do
(36:22):
this every single year, and the stakes are higher every year,
there's you know, more cost of everything, and to be
able to just stand in purpose every year with you
guys together is a remarkable day.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
You can be part of it at either AM five seven,
LA sports dot com or the Dreamcenter dot org is
where you can donate. Twenty dollars buys a toy for
one child, one hundred dollars buys five kids a toy.
Not to mention helping feed those and need this Thanksgiving
coming up on Thursday, we can kind I can still
sort of see it in the mind's eye from the
(36:56):
social media posts that we had the Thanksgiving with just
and Courtney and a bunch of folks from here at
A five seventy and you Pastor Matthew and everybody over
there at the Dream Center passing out turkeys. Give us
an idea or give the people listening as well, an
idea of how many meals we're talking about. I mean,
it feels like when you're watching it, you're feeding all
of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah, I mean, fifteen hundred wild probably be a load
number ellibe thousands. We're prepared for three to four thousand.
And you know, it's really hard to promote to many
events anymore. Because the crowds just get so big. You know,
it's even for Thanksgiving or Christmas. We just kind of
leave the door open and allow people to come on
in and just serve them. And you know, there's times
we've had to make runs in our own cars to
(37:36):
make sure we can feed one more and serve one more.
But that's just kind of like what we feel is
our responsibility. You know, people believe in us, and there's
people like yourselves who get so generous every year during
this time. We feel like in order to be a
good investment, you know, there's no nine to five in
this type of work. It's twenty four to seven people
showing up on our doorsteps, addict the sense and all
(37:57):
you know, and taking them in and give them a
place of detail and rehabilitate. It's a labor of love
I've been doing for thirty years. But to know that
every single year, sorry I'm a little touch talking about
this almost shows up a little bit, but every single
year knowing that we have people like you that will
just give us a break to say, look, we got
your back and we're going to help you. Bless a
(38:19):
city for Turkey, some Thanksgiving, and this whole season of
giving is truly remarkable, and I just I never take
it lightly and I'm never used to it, and I'm
in all every single time for those.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Who want to donate, and please do.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
Just got a text from a guy that says he
grew up not having Christmas and he's donating one hundred
bucks right now. They do it all, featuring gift giving,
a winter Wonderland, music rides, and appearance from Santa Claus.
Dream Center does unbelievable work. Twenty dollars buys a toy
for a child. Our own Tim Kates is donating one
thousand dollars wow, which will give fifty kids presents this
(38:55):
holiday season.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
That air cool? How about that?
Speaker 5 (39:01):
You can help buy donating at AM five seventy, la
sports dot com or dream center dot org. I feel
so shamed.

next thing you know, fou dream Center. It's beautiful, Tim, Yeah,
what about me? Wonderful stuff?
Speaker 5 (39:22):
Do you still have Justin Turner coming around and talking
to him? I mean, we miss him so much, Pastor.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
I just saw him two weeks ago at the golfs
in and we got to hang out with him and
just roll. That guy is just I've never seen a
guy that just lives for playing the game of baseball
and at the same time serving other people. It was
just a great time. And you know, he's just so
fun and lighthearted as ever, and we miss him around
(39:48):
here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
Well, I think you illustrated it perfectly, whether it's making
sure every person that walks through the door gets a
Thanksgiving meal, or every child that shows up and this
is my Christmas at the Dream Center making sure they
get a toy. It's an opportunity for all of us.
We do the show for free. You can. You don't
have to subscribe. There's no Patreon, none of that stuff
(40:11):
for petros and money. All we do is this time
of year, ask to donate to what we believe in.

you can't, totally understand if it's a rough year. If

You gotta roll it all out today, Matt. You got
(01:02):

your your Thanksgiving today. You've got to lament the Harbor loss.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Yeah, you got a chin to chin and and Jim

talk about all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I don't know if three three and a half hours

I'm not done doing what I need to do.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Check the iHeartRadio app for an extra Petrosen Money podcast.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Now I want because you are hitting the road as well.
I would like.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
This to be an example for our listeners of how
not to act. If you wake up in the morning
and you act like me when you have a trip
ap pending trip to the Midwest, travel for Thanksgiving, then
you're not Then you're not living correctly. Now, Matt Smith,
on the other we are we are a modus, but
(02:04):
we are a model of two men going in two
different directions. Well, in this case literally Matt is actually
we're going basically going to go spot. Matt is freshly shorn,
coming off calling an exciting football game, had a great call.
I listened to a lot of it. I synked it
up and it was a great, very descriptive call of
(02:25):
what was happening in the game and didn't get too
upset about the officials. And now Matt's going to go
back east to see his family and then meet the
Chargers in Atlanta, or come back here and then go
to Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
To meet them there, Okay, and to fly down there
Friday night, land almost at the exact same time as
the team.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
And you would not know that that but Matt basically,
you know, I lose track. But Matt gets on a plane,
you know, maybe once every two weeks, every other week,
even if it's not the football season, when he travels
with the Charge. Matt travels for college basketball.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I've already checked all my flights for the college basketballs.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
His daughter lives in New York. Another daughter, you know,
up in Slowtown from time to time. So Matt moves
all around and even Kates, you know, even Ronnie will
make an undercover trip to New Orleans. Right, So you
don't know that Matt's got a trip on the books.
He comes in here, chipper, beautiful haircut. Hey got his
(03:27):
turkey recipe. The other hand, old time gentleman's parder I got.
I got a travel assignment about a week ago yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You did not know you were traveling. I had an
idea because for how long, Well, the last week of
the season at Fox is always tricky, and for what
I do, which is normally call games in the studio,
sometimes that doesn't fly at the end of the year
for a few reasons. One is, yeah, if it's a
(03:59):
Big ten game, well they just tell you and you
do whatever they say. So if it's a big ten game,
they travel to those unless produced playing or something. And no,
I think they have to travel to all big ten games.
And I think if there's a ranked team, you got
to see the glory of ross Aid Stadium a lot
of the time.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
You know, if it's a ranked team, you know they'll
send you for that. But I got an assignment to
go to East Lansing, Michigan last week, and I've literally
been catatonic ever since. I can't sleep, I'm not eating.
I have changed the travel like seven times. The travel
people are ready to get pitchforks and torches. Well we've
(04:39):
had to because they changed it like originally, Like if
you really want.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
To know, I think people want to know why you've
been catatonic for a week.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
I'm upset. I have a big I have them in
the midst of a terrible nervous breakdown. But today, two
days ago, yesterday or Sunday morning. Okay, I got texted
Sunday more. They came in with a breeze. I'm driving
to yoga and I get a text and about anyone.
(05:08):
The text says, Hey, Michigan State wants to do their
normal schedule and meet with you on Friday during the day.
Can you be in East Lansing during the day to
meet with your friend Jonathan Smith? And the answer has
to be yes, I can, Yes, I can. I'd be
happy to leave.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
My house at ten o'clock at nights Thanksgiving dinner. Now
I've done that before. Are you gonna read? I have
to and Detroit? You're fine?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
That read out of Detroit. But then there was started
to be a question about the escape. And as you know, Matt,
there's nothing more important than the escape, no doubt. Saturday
afternoons and what I did I couldn't find a first
I was ready to stay the night at the Airport
hotel in Detroit, cut.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
My losses into pieces.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Watch SC Noble, sc Notre Dame is gonna be on
while I'm on, so I don't want to watch watch something,
go to sleep, wake up, and then go back. But
there was no first class available and I'll be goddamned
if I'm going to fly Sunday after Thanksgiving the next morning.
So then, brilliantly I found a flight to Detroit. From
(06:19):
Detroit to Nashville southwest to LA get in around two
three in.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
The morning, bing bang boom.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
But I've never been to East Lansing. My producer, who's
from Michigan, but he's a Michigan guy, say like.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
An Oregon State Portland sort of deal. We're working with here.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Right, And I'm like, how far is this? Can I
make it? It's a three thirty kick. Let's say the
game's over at seven. Ten minutes to get down there,
ten minutes to get out, nine thirty flight out of
Detroit a little too tight.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
It is tight, very tight, very tight.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
And I had an escape plan and all that, and
then this morning like a diamond bullet, and it's very upsetting,
you know.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Man.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I've tried not to think about it. I try to
think about other things. It'll be a long three and
a half hours for this show. I try.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
What'd you get a textos Or texted me this morning
and he said.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Brought to you by your so cal toyota. Do you
want to I'll.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Take advice from a freaking bot. It could be an
Indian guy in Calcutta, exactly right. But instead I get
a text that goes, you idiot, you fool. Don't you
know that East Lancing is only an hour from Grand
Rapids and you can catch a needle deed o' hair
and get out that way. And I said, I'll be damned.
(07:48):
And I looked it up and I said, oh, Grand
Rapids is closer, and I'm going to take that needle
and the flight, you're.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Good is a half hour later, exactly right. And the
what Now, have I ever been to Grand Rapids? No? Beautiful?
Have I ever been to eat?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I think of the rapids and river runs through and
they are grand. Can't imagine anything go They're not.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Small, they are grand, those rapids.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
And then I'm like, and this is this is modern
college football travel kids, just so you could know all about.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
It's how the sausages make. Okay, this is it, and
mad ass, then just show up on your plate ready
to eat. We gotta be made. They got to be made.
This is like the portrait of the Screaming Pope. One
is Matt and he's all happy sitting there and I'm
on the other side. Ah, just having a nervous breakdown,
and I'll be accommodated first class. Somebody's gonna pick me
up in a town car. Only our finest bourbon sirch only.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Wait, it's our most modestly priced Earn and so Grand Rapids.
So then I figure the Grand Rapids thing. I go
into yoga. Phone starts blowing up. Helly the spotter guy Grayson,
like twenty three year old kid who I screamed at
last week.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
You're gonna drive me to Detroit. You're gonna get a
room in Detroit. You're gonna leave me there. You're gonna
drop off the car, and I'm gonna make that thing.
Oh no, And so Grayson starts texting, like I.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Thought you were gonna go to Detroit with me. I
gotta believe the hotel. I said, shut up, you gotta
take Kelly to Detroit. You still have a purpose, leave
me be. So I'm in the midst of working through
that anyway. Yes, I'm checking the weather for delays.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
You a holes. Nothing you can do about that, Yeah, listen,
you control the things you can control. You can't control
the weather delay. You can book the fight you booked
a flight, you get your itinerary.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
I thought it was a better move Grand Rapids, Matt,
because then I'm calling the game and every guy that
gets hurt, You're like, god, damn it.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
You know, every review that thing starts looking like, oh,
you're in.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
The talk back going, you son of a batch. You know,
I did that once and it was terrible. I did
that at Arizona. It was terrible. I did a Kansas
Kansas State game and then had to travel to Tucson.
Now I'm just fried. Thanksgiving weekend eat Thanksgiving with DeMarco
Murray at the Oriads.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
He got an escort.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
At that point, he got over Thanksgiving dinner, went up
to his room and asked that one of the ba's
delivered doritos to the room. That was our last game together.
And then I went to Tucson to do the duel
in the desert. And the whole time during the duel
in the desert is a real tight fit with the
Tucson cops, you know, with the escort from the Tucson cops.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
And I was like, flying on a Tucson you got
to go to Phoenix, Tucson. There we go.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
The airport closes early. Now and I'm just like god
dam like every delay. And then it got to the
point where like it got so late that I was
just resigned to lose and not make.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
It going to the Chiba Hut tonight. And then we
made it.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
There we go, and then I felt stupid for acting
like an idiot the whole game, like, calm down, You're
here to do the job, not just to fly home.
You've got to do the job. I'm just used to
doing the job.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
No, I hear you. I have probably stressed out over
fifteen trips home. Never once have I missed. The only
reason I did not miss a flight from Kansas City
is because I was with Brian Baldinger and he crumbled
up two one hundred dollars bills and threw them at
the head of the limo driver and said, I said
drive gee damn it, and the guy just got on
(11:16):
the shoulder. I started appeeling by everything, and we made
it with about ten minutes to spare. I had a
bad moment in West Virginia where the uh, the higher
driver must add some kind of stroke or something like
pulled over.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
And been like the whole like the director, what is
wrong with you? I was just like shut up, just
just don't upset him.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Breathe, let him breathe. It's stressful for him too.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Guys terrible, Yes, Kate, So Saturday, for that four hour window,
are you encouraging people to oh, yeah, textos, to text
you updates like, Hey, this guy's not kidd up fast.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Oh it looks like it's spraying. Ekle.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
I shouldn't have shared so much and I'm really struggling
with my anxiety and I should not have shared so much,
but I did.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
They're gonna text you whether updates, but I got.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
That's got a text this morning He's like, Hey, go
to this brewery. This brewery, this brewery that sucks weather.
It's really bad this week and you're in a rough time.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Like thanks a whole it is. No.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I text Tim Brando and I'm like, hey, Brando, what's
that booth like? That is not pristine photo deck?
Speaker 6 (12:24):
That drive from East Lanting the Grand Rapids on the
ninety six, it's pretty good about an hour long, unless
there's an accident. Then you're really shut up.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Now, I'll say this, Kates, if you want to sound
like a real local, you know they're in the Midwest,
unlike out here on the West Coast, it's just called
the number. It's just ninety six on ninety six. You
don't say on the ninety six, you say on ninety six.
It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Yeah, I mean,
that's what they do. It's what they do on ninety six,
because it's not the Interstate ninety six, it's Interstate ninety six.
(12:55):
I'm going to say state ninety six, said the driver.
I'm going to be like, hey, you drive ninety six.
There you go say it like that exactly right. What's
the story on ninety six these days? Yeah, I had
a friend. I had a friend in La said, it's
a real problem construction everywhere away to your phone's like, hey, man,
stormfruck coming into Grand Rapids right now. I hope you
(13:18):
can get out in the next two hours because that
thing's gonna close. The eye is gonna close. Last thing.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
So if it's forty two to thirteen or fourth quarter
and they're like, you know what, did he get a
foot down or not, let's go to the booth for
an answer. Replay, You're gonna be like, son of a.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
No, well, yeah, but we do that. You know, when
we're sitting in the studio. Who left the baseball game?
Speaker 5 (13:38):
No, well, uh, that guy left and then Mac Brown,
who just got fired, had to leave a Utah BYU game, right,
you know he had to leave a BYU game because
he had to get on a plane to go back
and do ABC. The guy that left the baseball game
was the guy that used to do the morning show
at NFL.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yes, Brian, Oh, come on, Kates, you know who it
is used to work in Fox Sports Radio hates us.
I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
I can't think of his last name.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
He's a guy that talks like this. Yeah, that guy
left the last Pac twelve baseball game because he had
a family thing. I thought he just had to make
a flight. He had like a family thing. The next
day he was like, I will not leave my family.
He was like, okay, and don't take the job. I
guess I don't know. Yeah, no, I stay till I
won't leave. Guys, if I need to sleep in East Lansing,
(14:23):
I mean I will. Rapids. I've been through the warst
The rapids are grand. I'd like to see them. Well.
May all of our travel and may all of your
holiday travel be free from Worrie.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Well, that's the other thing, Matt, Like, if I'm going
to hang around on Sunday morning, that's one of the
worst travel days. Like I'm traveling Friday night. No, I
mean Saturday night for Thursday night. No one's leaving on
Thanksgiving and Saturday night in the middle of the night
in O'Hare and Grand Rapids. You know, probably not the
worst thing. So that is my hope.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Anyway, Yeah, I'm flying from Midway to Atlanta on Friday.
Even my flight was nineteen dollars frontier. I bought every
single upgrade possible that I could, and it's still only
totaled ninety dollars. And I said, how is this still available?
How is somebody with only four of these seats in
(15:16):
first class for ninety dollars instead of nineteen? How or
not all of them gone? And I am the first
one to turn. No one's gone to Atlanta, I guess.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
So we'll wait till you see the people around you
on that flight.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Oh there's going to be a curtain. Well there they're
first going to be a curtain.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
They're thirsty at Atlanta and there's beer in Texarcana.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Did you make it down to Atlanta. No, two gentlemen
got into a fight, we were re routed, and after
we got back up in the air, two women got
into a fight and we were rerouted again. I'm stuck.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
The worst part is, you know, I've traveled for decades
to do college football, and I just do it much
less now. But I've always always really struggled. And the
more trips the better, right, you just getting new a rhythm,
the less catastrophic anxiety. But that's neither here nor there.
We have great sports Talk to perform exactly, and we
(16:06):
eat sports talk. We got a flip top story of
the day, which I believe is the Turkey recipe.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
We're gonna do it. We're not gonna be here tomorrow. Yeah,
you gotta go because I know tomorrow you're gonna send
out your message. We talked a little bit about that yesterday. Yeah,
about whether or not we're too old.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Well, my crippling anxiety hurts with inspiration. Not gonna lie,
and the show for me is very much inspiration based.
We'll find and uh and then you know, Don McLean
and I were chopping it up and don you know,
likes it, wants me to do it.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Yeah, I do too, specifically because of my current station
in life. Oh your kids. Yes, our flight arrives into
Chicago at seven forty pm, and on Blackout Wednesday. My
middle daughter says, what time are we landing? Seven? What
time do you think will be back at gramm Unpoppy.
(17:01):
I don't know. It's a Wednesday. It's the Wednesday of
Thanksgiving and we have to get a rental car that
could take a considerable amount of time. Show the movie.
I expect to be out with cousin Ethan for Blackout
Wednesday by nine p m. Well, you know that's probably
on Ethan. He's probably pumped her all up and been like,

We're going to Crown Point. It's gonna be epic, and

to come pick you up. Right. Yeah, Well, I don't know.
Ethan missed his flight from Tampa home. That's the kind
(17:44):
of kid that Ethan is. He's a great kid. Is
he not gonna make a damn mess. Is he gonna
make it to blackout Friday? I don't know blackout Wednesdays.
I would bet against it if if asked. So, who's
gonna's supposed to meet my daughter at Midway and then
they're supposed to go out I u Ohio State on Saturday?
And I said, hey, and is Ethan there? No, he
missed his flight. Well, how are you getting home? Uncle

Speaker 7 (21:32):
Okay, turkey, just come right over here. Remember on the
Petro Sentamon Show, sort of get out your base deck.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
What a baster? Oh that's like a pillow.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah, as it's time to give thanks to our King
of the kitchen, whose food nobody here has ever actually tasted.
Cure it's Matt Muddy Smith's turkey recipe.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
All right, beautiful, well done everybody, We're we're not out
of practice.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
No, well done, well executed eighteen years. I'm flying home
to Chicago, as you mentioned in the last segment, to
spend Thanksgiving with the family for the first time since
nineteen ninety one. It's been a while since I have
sat around a zudoc household lit with my drunk cousins.
(22:28):
And that the Bears and Lions are playing, there's going
to be freaking hilarious they're all miserable. The hopes on
Caleb are still sky high, and it should be fantastic
to be in the middle of it. So because I
will be off through the week after today. It is
an annual. It is a tribute to my grandmother Mary Zudoc,
(22:49):
matriarch of my mother's side of the family, and I
think it is especially important to do it this year.
Maybe it's just because I discovered this and they've been
around for so long, but I feel as though Instagram cooks,
TikTok recipes have become more prevalent in my timeline the
last year. Social media chefs that think they can video
(23:15):
themselves making I don't know. They'll jam a block of
elveta into a turkey cavity and do crazy stuff. Yeah,
pour breadcrumbs all over the bird and then they put
on maple syrup and a cup of fruit loose.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Somebody taped a banana to a canvas as fine art
and it sold for like ten billion.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Yeah remember the board ape? Oh yeah, how's that going?
Like Whylan said when he sag it to Willie, I'll
change the last word cryptos back though. Oh yeah, big
time just escades. Maybe it's time we got back to
the basic basics of not loving this case, but cooking
(23:54):
the basics of cooking. So Grandma orn Right at the
turn of the century passed quite a while back, But
are cooking or baking the best I'd ever had? Brought
us together, like many families at Thanksgiving, the old style,
the Schlitz, the stros brought us together for all the boys,
no matter how old. Maybe you got a little dixie cup,
(24:16):
Maybe yours was watered down a little bit, little SuDS
for the boys Thanksgiving after all in football song, Grandma
zudoc rule number one, salt butter can never use too much.
You're a restaurant man, pee, you know, salt, butter, butter, salt,
and then add some butter and salt, some pig fat,
some grease. Thanksgiving, stop counting calories. You eat them all
(24:39):
and then you double it. That's what we're here for,
not refined sugars like fruit loops and freaking gummy nerds. Yeah,
but salt and butter. You're taking that food poisoning out.
We started this in two thousand and seven. Salt butter
before it was spiced that people would ask you about
(25:01):
on the textiles. So well, what about rosemaar. What about
putting in an apple in the cavity. Yeah, yeah, Now
they're like, I was thinking about putting it in a
crock pot with chili beans and honeys cinnamon and cinnamon, yes,
and circus peanuts, curry curry powder, and I was gonna
put chili on top of it. No Mexican pizza from
(25:25):
Taco Bell. What I do is I crumbled that up
and I jam it into the cavity with three big macs.
And that's how I make my stuffing. It's big max
and celery and I bake. That sounds pretty good. Actually,
that kind of does. Actually I did that. Everybody likes
butter and salt. It's why you like going to restaurants
more than the food you make at home, because you
count your calories in the kitchen, but you don't when
(25:46):
you're sitting in a booth. Be it faux leather or
tal leather, it's exactly right. Take the calories off the
menu already. I'm tired of eating the hoisten bowl. Why
are you cooking the bird if you're asking that question,
because you're gonna be asked to carve the bird and
serve the bird, and that means it's your bird. It
is a reflection of you, your family and your guests.
(26:08):
So if you're serving it, they're gonna assume you made it.
So why not go down based on your own efforts.
Nowadays buy pre Brian birds are pretty much standard. Before
we used to talk about soaking the turkey and salt.
How you're gonna buy it, Brian, Well, I'm not making
the turkey this year because for the first time since
ninety one, I'm going back my cousin Claude. Are you
(26:30):
gonna be able to not judge him? Oh, Claudie, I
will judge her, Darrel her husband, I will probably judge him.
I'll be like, Darrel, you make that bird, and oh
Claude made it. She does a great jab in a
kitchen windo her. Well, if you're gonna you might give
Claude a carve it, Claude Lemieux the side ee if
you do want to brind it, because you're getting one
of them natural birds, free range kind of things. Use
(26:51):
a stockpot. I used to go with a bucket half
cup of table salt per gallon of water, so probably
two gallons of water one cup of salt overnight. Average
bird twelve eighteen pounds oven goes to four hundred oven
rack lowest position. If it's bigger than eighteen, go to
four to twenty five, not four hundred. You line a
large v rack with tinfoil heavy duty preferably small knife
poke in twenty five or so holes. Put the rack
(27:12):
in a large roasting pan. If you don't want to
turn your bird halfway through, do not use the foil.
Just use the rack and roast it breast up little,
get that stockpot, pull out the turkey, rinse it inside
and out. Pad it dry with paper tiles. Do not
jam dragon fruit or apple jacks, or English muffins or
(27:36):
Trader Joe's sour cream and onion puffs in the center
of it. Just try it out, and you know to
tuck the tie, tuck the drumsticks, time the wingtips, all that.
When the fine no I do two or three pounds,
I'd go pounds tablespoons, three tablespoons melted butter on the breasts,
three tablespoons on the back, breast down. You're going to
(27:59):
roast that twelve to eighteen for forty five minutes at
four hundred an hour. If it's the bigger bird and
your pull it out. Keep the oven door closed. You
don't want that heat to escape. Reduce the heat to
three twenty five. Grab the bird with potholders, flip it
breast side up, Add another two to three tablespoons of
melted butter. Roast it for another fifty minutes for the
smaller bird, twelve to fifteen hour fifteen, if it's fifteen
(28:20):
to eighteen two hours for eighteen twenty. Now, I think
it's so different from what like we started this so
long ago. Now you just have the instant read thermometer.
Yeah it's different. Yeah, you jam it in there, and
you know you want the breast to be one sixty five,
you want the thigh to be one seventy five. So
whatever with time, get yourself one of those prong things
and it'll tell you this is the key. People. Let
(28:41):
it sit. I don't care if people got to wait
for dinner. You let it sit. Put some foil on it.
Like you think clone has that kind of self control.
I hope. So I'm gonna make sure she knows I'm
gonna get there early, heating up all them dips and chips.
You want to put a nice beach towel over it,
as well. That works very well to keep the heat
in there. Let it stand cook in its own juices
for thirty to forty minutes. You pull it out, you
(29:04):
cut it right away. All the moisture gone. I've seen that.
Mean it's right. It's terrible. Touch that bird and just
just opens up and there's no meat. Little secret move
here right before you carve it, grab a stick of butter.
Love up them boobies. Maybe it's not my secret move,
but it's a Mary Zodox special. Leave the oven on
by the way. More on that in a moment. Carve
(29:25):
it if you've never done it. You bend the legs
away from the body. You cut the knife along the
natural line, expose the joint. It'll run right through. It
comes off easy. Down the keel bone. Make that slit.
Pull the breast off the breastbone with your knife. Keep
the skin on there all the way to the joint.
Pull that off the wings. Last thing to come off,
natural separation. Get the legs, separate the thigh, break the joint,
cut the bone, slice against the grain, same with the breast.
(29:48):
It'll be more moist And then finally when it's on
the platter to put it back in the oven for
like three to four minutes, A couple pads of butter
on top of that. Wheez, yeah, a little bit of
heat and nice and warm, and then you start it.
Everybody wins, right, clawk. What's gonna happen? Matt?
Speaker 5 (30:05):
I mean, you're not gonna be cooking the turkey? Are
you gonna be able to control yourself? That's like sitting
in the booth with somebody else.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Calling the game. I'll be hovering. Now, you go ahead
and do your thing, nance I'm just gonna stand back here.
I'll be hovering. That's an interesting call. So you saw, huh.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Paul Sunderland used to do that to us. So he'd
do the pregame and then he'd come up and stand
over Barry and I and be like I.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Disagree, Like, get out here, here's a michelo. Matt, go
downstairs and watch the game. All right, you shouldn't any help.
I put more butter on that if I were you.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
But that's just me.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
You know, I'm saying you should stop by the food
line or whatever they got out there and get a
bird Kroger's. No, just get a giant thing of salt
and a huge bag of Butter just be like I'm
a rod I'm here, or make them listen to this, guys,
it's just ten minutes. Listen to the podcast. I'm gonna
(30:56):
pull it up in three two one play everybody, Little Bertie,
Marry Zudoc.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Yeah, everybody will be all happy. Oh yeah, hear about
Zudoc being shown love here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Absolutely now. Has the repass recipe evolved a little bit
over the years, hasn't stayed the same. I typically cook
it every year, but like I said, I have not.
I've been here for every Thanksgiving since nineteen ninety two.
Last time I went home ninety one, so first time
not having anything to do with the bird. And what
(31:32):
am I doing with myself? I just don't know what
to do. If wants me to come up early, let
me come up early. Hellop you with the bird, Darryl? Hello,
just think connected. Hello, Are you seeing as somebody who's
going to like captain the ship?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
No?
Speaker 5 (31:47):
When he shows up, when Matt comes to town, he's
gonna grab the helm and take us home.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Matt tends to get the next generation too riled up.
I've kind of taken the place of my uncle Frank,
who was the guy that fed us all kids the
beers copy. So I feel like that's my position now,
Uncle Frank passed that rrupting the youth, corrupting the youth
with alcohol. Fair enough?
Speaker 5 (32:11):
All right, we'll return uh the guy that has to
uncorrupt the youth later.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Pastor Matthew.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Oh, yes, he is going to join us in the
very next segment, and we're going to talk about the
season of giving at the Dream Center in Los Angeles
and what wonderful work he does still works with our
dear friend Justin Turner, I know. So we will celebrate
and talk to the great Pastor Matthew and find a
way to help some people this holiday season still to come.
(32:38):
Hot Stove Talk with David Vasse, Football, Mark Sanchez, Great
Sports Talk on a two ed mono Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Great Sports Talk, Thanks for listening. Put throw some money
A five to seventy LA Sports. We are alive everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. You cla basketball tonight you see
LA v SUU. That would be Southern Utah University. Ooh
(33:09):
seven o'clock are they booing you? No, they're saying oooh
six thirty pm pre games. So we got a three and
a half hour show here. You can hear us on
the iHeartRadio app as well, joining us right now on
your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
It's an annual. Pastor Matthew always great to talk to.
He runs the Dream Center LA, serving fifteen hundred meals
on Thanksgiving and raising money to give ten thousand presents
to those in need during our annual season of giving.
You could help by donating an am FI seventy LA,
sports dot org or dream Center dot org. You can
(33:47):
buy a toy for a child for twenty bucks. One
hundred dollars buys five kids a toy, and again, Pastor
Matthew just one of those people. The holiday season, a
lot of us, like myself, start to worry about ourselves
and how comfortable we're going to be and whatever we
have to do. Some are worried about how dry cousin
(34:08):
clothes turkey's going to be. But Pastor Matthew he wonders
about how many people he can help and how many
people they can reach out to and touch during the
holiday season. We're always happy to have him. Pastor Matthew Barnett,
founder of the Dream Center pastor, Matthew, how are you.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I'm doing great, man, Thank you for that build up.
That feels great. I'm gonna play that a recording to
remind myself of those things every now and then.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Is it hard? I mean, I mean it can't be easy.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
It can't be you know, there's got to be two
steps forward and a step back whenever you're trying to
help people that are in trouble and not everybody is
able to be helped. You know, this time of year,
does it bum you out or do you feel energized.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
To do this?
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Yeah, it's a little bit of both. Really. You know,
you're glad that you could be a solution, but it's
very tough.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Last week on a Thursday night, it was like eight
o'clock and our clothing store opens at ten o'clock in
the morning, and I saw the families lining up eight pm,
just for a regular clothing store walk through. And I
saw them, I said, what do you guys here for?
And they said, oh, we're just lining up for the
clothing store. And I've never seen that before. We've never had,
like the night before people lining up to go to
(35:19):
the store. And a little kid was waiting in line,
and I said, you know what, we'll hold your spot. Man,
come back later. You should have to wait this long.
And the little kid said, is there going to be
Christmas this year? And I said, well, it's Christmas every
year and he said, yeah, but really I only have
Christmas at the Dream Center. And then when I heard that,
(35:40):
you know, and I I thought about this event December fourteenth,
and all the people on your network that listen to
this show and all they've given to make this happen
every single year, to make this the most extraordinary event
I've ever seen them honestly my entire life. There's roller coasters,
there's it's absolutely a party you would never see and
the little kids right around the neighborhood and the bike
(36:01):
they got last year from your guys' contribution to kindness.
It's amazing. You know, we really think about the legacy
that this network has led, that's had in the community
where people have something to look forward to. You know,
very rarely in life do you have something on that
calendar that you're like, this is an event of a lifetime.
And because of your kindness generosity, we get to do
(36:22):
this every single year, and the stakes are higher every year,
there's you know, more cost of everything, and to be
able to just stand in purpose every year with you
guys together is a remarkable day.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
You can be part of it at either AM five seven,
LA sports dot com or the Dreamcenter dot org is
where you can donate. Twenty dollars buys a toy for
one child, one hundred dollars buys five kids a toy.
Not to mention helping feed those and need this Thanksgiving
coming up on Thursday, we can kind I can still
sort of see it in the mind's eye from the
(36:56):
social media posts that we had the Thanksgiving with just
and Courtney and a bunch of folks from here at
A five seventy and you Pastor Matthew and everybody over
there at the Dream Center passing out turkeys. Give us
an idea or give the people listening as well, an
idea of how many meals we're talking about. I mean,
it feels like when you're watching it, you're feeding all
of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah, I mean, fifteen hundred wild probably be a load
number ellibe thousands. We're prepared for three to four thousand.
And you know, it's really hard to promote to many
events anymore. Because the crowds just get so big. You know,
it's even for Thanksgiving or Christmas. We just kind of
leave the door open and allow people to come on
in and just serve them. And you know, there's times
we've had to make runs in our own cars to
(37:36):
make sure we can feed one more and serve one more.
But that's just kind of like what we feel is
our responsibility. You know, people believe in us, and there's
people like yourselves who get so generous every year during
this time. We feel like in order to be a
good investment, you know, there's no nine to five in
this type of work. It's twenty four to seven people
showing up on our doorsteps, addict the sense and all
(37:57):
you know, and taking them in and give them a
place of detail and rehabilitate. It's a labor of love
I've been doing for thirty years. But to know that
every single year, sorry I'm a little touch talking about
this almost shows up a little bit, but every single
year knowing that we have people like you that will
just give us a break to say, look, we got
your back and we're going to help you. Bless a
(38:19):
city for Turkey, some Thanksgiving, and this whole season of
giving is truly remarkable, and I just I never take
it lightly and I'm never used to it, and I'm
in all every single time for those.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Who want to donate, and please do.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
Just got a text from a guy that says he
grew up not having Christmas and he's donating one hundred
bucks right now. They do it all, featuring gift giving,
a winter Wonderland, music rides, and appearance from Santa Claus.
Dream Center does unbelievable work. Twenty dollars buys a toy
for a child. Our own Tim Kates is donating one
thousand dollars wow, which will give fifty kids presents this
(38:55):
holiday season.
Speaker 3 (38:57):

Speaker 5 (39:22):
Do you still have Justin Turner coming around and talking
to him? I mean, we miss him so much, Pastor.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
I just saw him two weeks ago at the golfs
in and we got to hang out with him and
just roll. That guy is just I've never seen a
guy that just lives for playing the game of baseball
and at the same time serving other people. It was
just a great time. And you know, he's just so
fun and lighthearted as ever, and we miss him around
(39:48):
here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
Well, I think you illustrated it perfectly, whether it's making
sure every person that walks through the door gets a
Thanksgiving meal, or every child that shows up and this
is my Christmas at the Dream Center making sure they
get a toy. It's an opportunity for all of us.
