Yes, well it come. I mean there's only a couple
weeks left in the year.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Now.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
That being said, it is kind of funny because we'll
be like right back out in January. But doesn't it
feel like a giant reset the end of the year
and the new year. And it doesn't really mean anything.
It's just something somebody put on a piece of paper.
But either way, we're here to end the year now.
Matt Mouney Smith is not here tonight. There's a lot
(02:12):
of disappointment, and you men, you won't be able to
go to the bathroom and have Matt wondering what you're
doing in there and come back and report on how
long you peede and if you peede and if you
blew it out or whatever.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
We're gonna miss him.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
But Matt is calling the Charger Bronco game tonight a
do or die game. I see that there's some more
some charger support here at the BJS in West Covina,
and I'm sure they're going to run the game on
the television, but we are going to run it on
ninety eight seven, which is in our radio cluster. Tonight
(02:50):
we have Clippers versus Mavericks. So we are only here.
We're only gonna be here until four thirty, and then
it's two and a half hour. That's long enough to
drink and sit here, right Like, if it's a four
hour show, people are staggering out of here and somebody
(03:11):
always gets stabbed in the face. So this is a
way better situation. We're gonna do two and a half hours,
and at four point thirty we'll send you Sports Talk
swerving into the San Gabriel Valley to do whatever it
is you're gonna do for the rest of the night. Now,
Matt is not here, but I'm gonna do I'm gonna
do my kind of dancing. This is the last dance
of the season, and I'm gonna do my kind of

I heard that there's a controversy about Burt. Now, Bert,
our engineer, is here. Bert loves remotes, he loves to
be here. He's already had his stake and Bert. Tim
brought this lamp to give away, right the forest lamp.
Our last one, by the way, which the Chargers gave
us eight years ago. They gave us three. None of
(07:07):
us took them hall. It was during COVID, like five
years ago. Yeah, we gave them away to two listeners.
This is the last one. Tim has assembled it and
he wants to give it away. But before the show started,
Bert put your mic by your face, Burt, like Don McClain,
like it's Puzuki.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Put it right there.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Bert wanted to steal it? Is that true?
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Burn? Are you taking the lamp?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
You don't want to give the lamp away.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
I'm giving it to my wife.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
You're taking the lamp.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
I'm giving it to my wife.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Do you have a forest themed home? Is that why
you want the lamp? Yeah, like a cabin at home
kind of Okay, Well that's that.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Then Bert gets the lamp. But we have other process
to give away.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
What else do we have? We got tickets for Clippers games,
we got tickets for UCLA basketball games. We've got Raider
earbuds here that I brought personally later earbuds. Essay, I'm

Steve Garvey, Steve Garvey, Dodger hero, fresh off an almost
(09:30):
successful political campaigns so close and in a blue state.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
That was a tall order for Steve Garvey. He almost
pulled it.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Off anyway, So Steve Garvey's got something to promote and
we're going to talk to him. But I want to
talk about West Covina because I think it is an
important place where we are to discuss the history of
West Covina.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Who's in for that? Oh, beg you.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
This is a great room. It's great to see everybody.
Some traffic tried to hinder us, but we're here. If
worst came to worst. Bert said he was going to
do the show with me. You're a panicking and he
said that he doesn't want to talk about sports. He
wants to talk about his passion opera, and we discussed
some musicals.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Really yeah, Bert loves the opera.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Anyway, many years ago, the evil city of Covina, not
West COVINAO who hears from Covina?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Traders?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Oh, traders and spies, fascist dogs. Covina is not a
Spanish word, so don't act all hard and be like, oh,
I live in Covina. Because it was a white guy
that was looking at it and he's like, oh, it's
like a cove and a vineyard. I'm going to put
(10:53):
those words together, and they came up with Covina one
square mile and all three is the motto for Covina.
I have no idea what that means. It sounds stupid.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
One square mile and all three anyway? Founded in eighteen
eighty two after it was a failed Costa Rican coffee plantation.
Free Costa Rican brothers thought they could make coffee in Covina,
and they failed.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
But it did.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Become after it was incorporated as a city, Covina a
huge orange producer. Covina got big, and a lot of
people moved to Covina, and people crap and pee, and
they needed to build a sewage farm like we have
here at the back of the BJS. And they wanted
(11:49):
to build a sewage farm where right here in beautiful
West Covina. They said, who cares about that place to
the west. We'll put all our refuse are awful into
West Covina. The people of West Covina, all five hundred
(12:10):
and seven of them, they saved, you, guys, those five
hundred and seven people one hundred years ago, went to court,
created their own town, incorporated in nineteen twenty three West Covina,
Thank you, which flourished, and now West Covina sees itself
(12:36):
as the headquarters of the San Gabriel Valley. Hence this
Bjay's restaurant and brew house. And do you think that
Jolly b would be here? No, if this wasn't the
headquarters of the San Gabriel Valley.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
No, you saw the high rise. Something to add.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
So this went from a porta potty to a city
potential porta potty, potential portapoti.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
The City of Covina was also looking to they're sewer
and Whittier. Oh that fell through as well. But either way,
many people want to know. If West Covina was built
to avoid becoming a sewage farm, a mere appendage of
the infrastructure of the City of Covina, then what happened
(13:18):
to the.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Actual sewage farm?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Where did it go? Where did it go? Didn't go
to Whittier, didn't go to West Covina.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
It ended up being built Irwindale in regular Covina.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Now you might be sitting here as a West Covidian
saying to yourself, wow, we really avoid it being about
a bunch of crap dwellers.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Not the case.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Unfortunately, one of the world's largest hazardous waste landfills is
right here in West Covina, right up against the San
Gabriel Mountains in AZEUSA.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
It is gigantic.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
We're talking about millions of tons of decomposing trash and
hazardous waste. But you don't know it's there because it's
covered up by beautiful grass and deer in trees.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Soon it'll be a community of houses. No, No, they
won't build on where they can't.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Why not, because it's it's toxic.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
It's it would cost to clean up the West Covina
hazardous waste landfill. It would cost one billion.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Dollars one billion with a bee.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Yes, but it looks like a nature reserve towering over
a SUSA Avenue here in West Covina.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Can you walk around on me? Am I wrong?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 6 (14:41):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
You can go up there.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Yeah, it's a public area. You can go hang out
with the dogs.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Mean, look, I mean I live in in ranch of
Palas Verni's Palas Vernes area.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
And it's nice you go back up on the hill.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
But that botanical gardens where everybody goes to, uh look
at flowers and stuff, it's a landfill. What it's right,
we're living on trash. But anyway, no sewer, huge landfill.
So I don't know, maybe maybe you should have just
let them build a sewer.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
It's no longer an active landfill, is it. It is no, no, no,
it's all covered up.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
It's covered up, but it's there and it should be removed.
Yet it's still there.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Anyway.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
We're here to fill the time like a landfill with
glad tidings and kinship.
Speaker 3 (15:31):

(18:32):
Only James Worthy.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Ladies and gentlemen, reach no introduction, but we'll do one anyway,
Emmy Award winner Spectrum Sportsnet. Tonight, Lakers take on the
Kings to date, a Hall of Famer and when people
could not wait to watch NBA basketball on national TV.
That was his hair, That's right. No one was saying, Hey,
(18:56):
how come we're having problems? Is it the three pointer?
No one was asking that question. When James Worthy as showtime,
We're going up and down the Fabulous Forum. He joined
us now on the Petrosen Money Show. A hero to
the people. Merry Christmas, Happy holidays to you and your family. James,
how are you? Thanks for coming on?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Hello? Hello? Not North, not South, not e but what.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yallo Veda, the town close to all of our hearts. Uh,
you know, it's an interesting thing. It's like the NBA,
so many people consume it in so many different ways.
People stream it. Some teams, I remember when Blake Griffin
(19:42):
was on the Clippers. They're like just highlight reel teams
that people watch the highlight reels on YouTube. But it
is something that's being addressed right now. The NBA ratings
and and maybe the tournament that's this year didn't drive
the way they wanted it to. I know that's not
as much of a La Maker issue because of the
Laker fan base in town and what the Lakers mean
(20:04):
nationally and globally for sports. But do you have a
theory as to why overall the NBA struggled a little bit.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You know, I've been talking about that and brought to
my attici attention the last few years. And the only
thing I can think of is that, you know, the
fan uh, you know, they have so many ways to
like view the game. Some people aren't viewing the games.
(20:36):
I think a lot of guys aren't playing. The low
management thing. I think, you know, turn some people off.
I think the way some of the recent All Star
games have been played, All Star weekend used to be
a really good weekend for corporate and fan and that
(20:57):
Saturday engagement with fans uh in the game itself. So
I think, you know, it's it's gone away from what
it used to be. It's still exciting. I mean, it's
it's a lot of threes the top, you know, I
would say the top seven or eight players in the
(21:19):
NBA are they're non Americans, They're they're European players. So
it's as European game. And I think people are either
you know, trying to make the transition and are either
they're kind of falling off and maybe losing interest a
little bit. So it's a it's a big challenge your hand.
I mean, the talent is there, Uh, the entertainment value
(21:43):
is there, but it's interesting to see that they're still,
you know, working on working with that.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
What do you say to people that that that are
in favor of bringing back hand checking and maybe a
more physical brand of play, something that you guys were
more used to in your time and had stuff that
you guys had to overcome the score that a lot
of these guys don't don't really have to now.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
When I started watching the game, you know, when Kareem
Abdul Jabbar was Leuil Findor and he's Oscar Robinson, and
from the times that I started watching seriously, you know,
the Celtics with you know John Hevlichak and you know
west Unfelt with the with the bullets back in the day.
The game didn't change that much. You know that the
(22:31):
way the game was played, it didn't change. Guys maybe
got a little stronger, a little quicker, and I think
that's due to you know, I don't know if guys
could go back and play that way because they just
haven't learned how to play that way. They haven't spent
four years or three years in college like you know,
Bill Walton and leuil fend Or, you know, Austin Reeves,
(22:54):
Michael Jordan and I had three years where you'd get
that drill work. I think that's why the game changed.
I think that's why they took the hand check away
to make scoring easier. They moved a three point line
in at one point, you know, so you know, I
see a kind of carrying. You know, I don't know
how guys get four feet over there with it. You know,
(23:15):
it's crazy. So I understand it. You know, it's a
it's it's it's it's it's it's a modern day game.
But yeah, i'd like to see guys. I mean, the
G League is trying to, you know, do the best
they can. But if you don't know how to hand check,
if you don't know how to play physical without filing,
which we learned how to do. You know back in
(23:37):
college and high school. You learn how to buff a
guy when he came across the lane. It was legal
and so but you know, I don't know, it's it's
I'd like I'd love to see the games play, you know,
I don't want to see guys getting clotheslined like Michale did.
Kirk Rammy, but I would like to see you know,
(23:58):
the t was a physical team. We knew how to
play physic school. There was a lot of physicality. If
you don't think Karl alone and the Jazz knew how
to so it was it was the norm. But then
I think they took that away because they, you know,
the scoring was going down and now you can, you know,
you can hardly breathe on a guy.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
James. You mentioned All Star weekend, and they're gonna get
away from the All Star Game itself this year and
tried this All Star tournament with four teams of eight.
There's been a little bit of pushback from the current
players the last twenty four hours they were asked about it.
Kevin Durant was very vocal in saying he doesn't like
the idea. He just wants to play a game. They're
trying something a four team tournament. Do you like the idea.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I've never imagined it. I've never imagined an All Star game.
I mean, you're talking about a guy, an old school
far man. It was one game. You know, we played
up until Friday. A lot of teams. You were fortunate
you got that Friday off and you could travel to
an All Star weekend. You spent a busy weekend, you
played on Sunday, and then you were back at it
(25:08):
on Tuesday. That was that was That was it. So
the one game is enough. I know they're trying to,
you know, get the value of the game and get
people more excited, but I mean I would I wouldn't
want to do that much on the over All Star weekend.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Lakers and Sea are in Sacramento tonight to take on
the Kings, coming off a one to sixteen to one
ten win over the Memphis Grizzlies, a game James in
which we saw Max Christie get inserted into the starting lineup.
Do you like that movie? It could be something we
could see more from JJ Reddick. It's a nice little
mix to have him in there in the starting five.
What are your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
I love Max and tonight if you watch the show,
we picked someone to take our shot. I picked Max
Christy not to take the shot, but I picked him to,
you know, do some lock up defense. That's what he
said he wanted to do in preseason and training camp.
He said, look, I don't want to be that guy.
And just the effort that he put on job, you
(26:08):
might not stop everybody every night. Larry Bird said Michael
Cooper was the toughest guy that he ever played against
because Michael didn't take any time off on defense. He
was feisty and physical. And we need that. We need
our young guys like Max to create that energy. I
don't mind that, you know, Dalton Coloco, let him play.
(26:29):
We need that energy. We don't have Woods, we don't
have Hayes. We need energy. So I love MaTx Christy
out of Michigan State. He has the body decided and
you know, the experience and the attitude to do what
he's doing. I hope he continues it.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
So one and only James Worthy is our guest on
The Petrosen Money Show on Empire seventy La sparts our final.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Remote of the year.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
If you're not here for the remote, our apologies on
disturbing your wonderful Bjays Restaurant and brew House lunch and
James Worthy has done remote broadcasts with our show in
the past, and it's pandemonium.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
There's a line in the streets. It's true.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
People want autographs and stuff like that. It's been We've
been through that on Figure Row at the Hooters and
to close that place down. Oh good, h now, James,
Uh overall, Uh, do you see the Lakers getting through
this rough patch that they've kind of been on, the
confusion of Lebron's absence and all these different things happening.
(27:31):
Does does it kind of feel like that's in the
rear view now as they end of the new year.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Well, I hope so, I think, you know, I think
I think the break that they got, they really need it,
uh to just have meeting of the mind and get
some practice, I man, but more importantly, get refocused mentally.
As great as Lebron has been simple double tiple double
(27:56):
are you know grandfather, the time will tell you. You know, look,
you just can't pay this many minutes you gotta you know.
So hopefully that re energized him. But this this schedule
coming up Sacramento has not been times to the Lakers.
You know, we got him back to back, we got
to sit up in Sacramento for three days, so then
(28:18):
you got Golden State coming up. So they got they
gotta have their minds together on the defensive end. That's
why I like a guy like Max Christie who's point
of attack. And I hope that that's contagious. Ad does
what he does defensively, just get really read with the effort.
If they could have a point of attack defensively, their
(28:40):
offense usually follows. But it's when they're getting down fifteen
points and turning it over and then they get a
little funky. They can't afford to do that at the
start of these.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
Games, James, real quick as we get close to Christmas here,
and the joke's always, well, the NBA season doesn't start
to Christmas Day. We're twenty six games, gonna be twenty
seven now with this game tonight in Sacramento. End of
this JJ reddick first season. What have you thought so far?
What are your initial impressions here that were a little
a quarter of the way past the season and his
first year as head coach.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I like what he's doing. I liked his message from
the beginning. I didn't know until I didn't know until
you know, we had a chance to interview him at
press day. I've always known him as a player, and
you know his podcast and working on as an analyst,
and I've always liked his approach and how he looks
(29:34):
at the game. And I think he's bought a fresh approach.
You know, obviously the teams they were beating early on
one were not the upper usherlon teams like Phoenix Tenver,
but they weren't playing well and they need to get
back to that. And I think if they continue to
move the ball, don't depend on the bron so much
(29:55):
in the fourth quarter. You got to trust other people
to handle the ball and initiate the offense. I think
it wears them down. And I think, but you know,
if they could just follow his message. I like his
responses after the game, very honest about you know, the
coach can only plan and then the players have to
(30:16):
go out and get the job done. I think he
makes good decisions and time out, so I don't really
see it as the coaching. I think the players have
to take care of, you know, what they're doing on
the court.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
The great James Worthy.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Last thing for you, James, I think about those Sacramento
teams of your era. What did you guys used to
do back in the day when you went up to Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
My god, man, now you're talking about the RCO arena
and only seated about eleven thousand people and you couldn't
even see it as you were driving to it. You
just drove up on and was out in some big
cow pastor somewhere. We stayed in the holiday And the
only thing about it is I did enjoy going to
(30:59):
the museum.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
Wh Yeah, that's a great that.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yeah. Other than that, the twelve or whatever years I
had to go, it was probably one of the worst
places to go out. I know it's the capital to
love the state, but it was nothing going on in Saclement.
I wish you had state in Kansas City. Now. When
we went to Kansas City, King we got to get
some like good barbeque. When we got it all right,
you know what I'm saying, I feel you. You know
it's a short trip. I will say it's a short ship,
(31:26):
so I'll give it that. But cow bells in that
old Archo Arena was was not pleasure. That's so we
got sick up there.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Remember, Yeah, and that's where all our state taxes go
to Sacramento.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
You'd think they built something.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeah, that's why we don't like it.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
The Great James Worthy, Ladies and gentlemen, thank you, James.
Have a great day. We can have a great Christmas.
We love you the best.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
The West, Go Beata.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
James worthy driven by your Southern California four dealers. If
there's one thing we like, its choices, find yours with
the F one fifty gas hybrid all electric. What you
choose to do with that much power is up to you.
Heny you're Southern California Ford Dealers today for great offers
on the Ford F one fifty and all Ford models
during Ford's year in so far.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
I've been to the Trade Museum in Sacramento and they.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Have like a bunch of like life size Chinese immigrant
worker mannequins.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
Interesting like working on the It's part of the history
doing like West Covine has got history building the railroad.
You know, there's travel Town over in Griffith Park that's
got the trains, but.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
They don't have the little Chinese people. They're not little.
I mean they're lifetime.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
Maybe they'll at them.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
I mean they built the railroads.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Part of the history and it's a big part of
the history and you can learn about it at the
Trade Museum in Sacramento.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
I appreciate that they're putting that in the history of
the museum.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Maybe if Kobe wasn't so worried about eating cheeseburgers and
was more worried about learning about history when I got
sick up there.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
I'll never forget that night. Food poison for Kobe.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
We'll be back with more great sports time. We got
another hour and a half live from the West Covie

Oh he's gonna be walking out of here, hammered.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
I threw up in a planter on my twenty first birthday,
right on.
Speaker 6 (35:57):
Right on the ten this A and radio show, Bobby Drink.
I'll never forget.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
All right, it is time for a few textosox.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
USA time, brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
We make it easy.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
This is some local information about this BJS. According to
the text meso, this BJ's used to be the Safari Bar. Okay,
sounds like a place you could get the tipsy Snowman.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Before that, it was a PJ Pizzazz.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
Some old school guys, remember some people are like Pj's
in the eighties.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
I met my first girlfriend at the Peach Pizzan and
before that, all the way back, this building was not
zoned for a restaurant. It wasn't that a licorice pizza
a record store.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
I love records, like the movie Tim Conway Juniors in
like pizza exactly.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
But it was, yeah, liquors pizza like a like vinyl
licorice pizza like a record.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Yeah, you don't know what that is.
Speaker 6 (37:08):
Do you Conway's in a movie called Liquors, But.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Do you know that it's a reference to a record
No bag anyway, it used to be a record store.
I love records. So if you're thinking what should I
bring for Petros and you have like a Bell Bief
de Vaux record laying around the house, bring it to
me and a bottle of Maker's Mark as well.
Speaker 6 (37:30):
All right, secret.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
TeX's fine, brought to you by your so camed Toyota dealer.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
That's good West Covina knowledge.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Right there, the street next to the site of the
former West Covina landfill is named.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
A Roma Drive.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
That is the truth? Is that the truth? Couple ahead
nods yes, this.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Says, don't cater too hard to West Covina. That portion
of West Covina that you're in is a sliver on
the side of the tent. You are surrounded by Covena.
Most of West Covina is on the other side of
the tent. Now, I didn't notice that. As I was
(38:16):
rolling here down to ten, I noticed a sign that
it said next five exits Covina, and I'm like, well,
my exit's Barenka, And I thought I was going to
West Covina. I wrote this whole thing called Covina Evil
and all that, and now I'm gonna be in Covina.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
But we're surrounded. We're kind of like Israel.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
We're surrounded by people that hate us.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Interesting, Yeah, all right, the secret text does a sign.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
I figured Covina would send all that sewage to more Park.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
We know.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
What more Park is spelled backwards? Do you guys know
what more par is spelled backwards? And Moore Park is
a beautiful, beautiful towns that's right.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
Oh crap room, Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
The first time I saw it was in the rearview mirror.
Speaker 6 (39:11):
One asked you to talk.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
I know, Jesus Christ Almighty, you just came down like
a like the Phantom of the Opera, dropped the chandelier
on those people.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
How how could you, Burt?
Speaker 4 (39:23):
My God, what was your joke that was so what
was so great that you had to just crack a
mic and scare the hell out of me?
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Burt, Like, God was like, that's that you're dying, Not
like Jesus I was.
Speaker 7 (39:36):
I was driving in the valley and I happened to
look in the rearview mirror and saw the moor park sign.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I get it.
Speaker 6 (39:54):
I get it, rear view mirror, said crapper Room, I
get it, I get it. I'm taking that lamp back.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
This is an interesting text that we have many listeners now.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Sometimes when we come to like a place.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
Like West Covina, even though there's literally people that listen
to the show on the iHeartRadio app and like Sumatra
and all kinds of crazy places that we hear from,
we have a tendency to really focus locally, like on
West Covina and what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
But this is more prevalent to.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
The worlds of sports, and because on New Year's Day,
right in the Rose Bowl, the University of Oregon, the Ducks,
representing the Big ten of all places and the West Coast,
is going to play the winner of Tennessee versus Ohio State.
And this text says this, Petros, I'm passing by the
(40:48):
University of Oregon. I think the Ducks here in Eugene,
Oregon play here. It seems like a pretty weird place
for a college. Take care, Mary Krim. This is true,
and I always find this very interesting. Oregon is relevant
for one reason and one reason only in the world
(41:08):
of college athletics and that is because the movie Animal
House was shot there. No, it's well, that's true, but
it's actually because the guy from Nike before he dies,
Phil Knight, his dream in life and this is just
well documented and true, nothing wrong with it, but his
dream in life is that they went a national time
(41:30):
in his lifetime and they came a pubic hair away
when Chip Kelly was the coach. And it drives me
wild thinking about it because it was the most watched
VCS championship of all time and it was Oregon, from
little Eugene, Oregon, where it's all hippies and no one
(41:50):
even cares about football versus Auburn. Now I've been to Auburn,
Alabama too. That's not the end of the world, but
you could see it from there like these are not.
And that was the most watched Dame of all time.
Why because regionally, the East was interested and the West
(42:11):
was interested. But when you think about the place itself,
it's not a place that runs and thrives. Like if
you go on campus at Auburn, you feel football in
its veins. You go to Tuscaloosa, Ames Iowa, Iowa city
where the Hawkeyes play, I mean, but you walk around Oregon.
It's not like that, but they have the Nike guy.
(42:35):
It's really a great place for track and field if
you really want to talk about athletics history.
Speaker 6 (42:40):
But they have the Nike guy.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
They have a coach that knows what he's doing, and
they know how to develop offensive and defensive line. And
that's where all the best offensive and defensive linemen go
to be developed on the West Coast. They go to Oregon.
Are they going to USC to be developed by Lincoln Riley?
Speaker 3 (42:57):
Hell no, not much so.
Speaker 6 (43:02):
I love much So.
Speaker 4 (43:04):
I always find that interesting because you know, it's like
going to Boise, Like we've all watched Boise football for
years and years, right, the blue turf and Chris Peterson
and all that. If you don't call it proposal after
the game, yes, Chris Myers, I believe you don't have
a question or that place. You go up there to
(43:26):
Boise in this football you've watched on national TV for
twenty years and you're like, my god, this stadium doesn't
fit twenty eight thousand people. It's tiny, you know, but
you think about it as a big thing. And if
you think about it like that, it is that, you know,
and Oregon football is like that too. It's only loud.
I mean, there's a lot of people there and they're
(43:47):
all screaming, yell. But it's loud. Not because the people
of Oregon like football more than the people of Texas.
It's loud because there's no tunnels in the damn stadium.
Everybody comes in over the top. It's an echo chamber.
If you're there when it's empty, you clap your hands.
You hear it clap all around the stadium. So something
interesting to think about on New Year's Day when you're
(44:08):
watching football. You don't have the Petros and Money Show
to kick around and tell you what's what. We'll be
right back with your word number, song of the day.
Speaker 6 (44:15):
Oh, I got a great number of the day for you,
A great number of the day for you. Well, what
is it?
Speaker 4 (44:23):
You'll find out what's it about. You'll find out what's
it all about. Bjason west Covino. We have another couple hours.
Steve Garvey is going to join us in a few minutes.

Speaker 6 (44:41):

Speaker 4 (44:44):
But maybe maybe Steve Garvey has the political connections to
remove removed in landfill here.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
In West Virginia, I mean uh, West Covine.
Speaker 6 (44:52):
He was a few votes away from getting it.
Speaker 4 (44:54):

Yes, well it come. I mean there's only a couple
weeks left in the year.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Now.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
That being said, it is kind of funny because we'll
be like right back out in January. But doesn't it
feel like a giant reset the end of the year
and the new year. And it doesn't really mean anything.
It's just something somebody put on a piece of paper.
But either way, we're here to end the year now.
Matt Mouney Smith is not here tonight. There's a lot
(02:12):
of disappointment, and you men, you won't be able to
go to the bathroom and have Matt wondering what you're

long you peede and if you peede and if you
blew it out or whatever.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
We're gonna miss him.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
But Matt is calling the Charger Bronco game tonight a
do or die game. I see that there's some more
some charger support here at the BJS in West Covina,

the television, but we are going to run it on
ninety eight seven, which is in our radio cluster. Tonight
(02:50):
we have Clippers versus Mavericks. So we are only here.
We're only gonna be here until four thirty, and then
it's two and a half hour. That's long enough to
drink and sit here, right Like, if it's a four
hour show, people are staggering out of here and somebody

way better situation. We're gonna do two and a half hours,
and at four point thirty we'll send you Sports Talk
swerving into the San Gabriel Valley to do whatever it
is you're gonna do for the rest of the night. Now,

stolen from the remotes.

City of West Covina.

This is about the prizes.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I heard that there's a controversy about Burt. Now, Bert,
our engineer, is here. Bert loves remotes, he loves to
be here. He's already had his stake and Bert. Tim
brought this lamp to give away, right the forest lamp.
Our last one, by the way, which the Chargers gave
us eight years ago. They gave us three. None of
(07:07):
us took them hall. It was during COVID, like five
years ago. Yeah, we gave them away to two listeners.
This is the last one. Tim has assembled it and
he wants to give it away. But before the show started,
Bert put your mic by your face, Burt, like Don McClain,
like it's Puzuki.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Put it right there.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Bert wanted to steal it? Is that true?
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Burn? Are you taking the lamp?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
You don't want to give the lamp away.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
I'm giving it to my wife.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
You're taking the lamp.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
I'm giving it to my wife.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Do you have a forest themed home? Is that why
you want the lamp? Yeah, like a cabin at home
kind of Okay, Well that's that.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Then Bert gets the lamp. But we have other process
to give away.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
What else do we have? We got tickets for Clippers games,
we got tickets for UCLA basketball games. We've got Raider
earbuds here that I brought personally later earbuds. Essay, I'm
gonna pretend I didn't hear that boo for that one
Charger fan who's here.

We got a Kendrick Perkins book that was sent to
the station. We got COVID Curveball, a copy of Tim
Nevert's book from the twenty twenty Dodgers COVID Championship. We

We have two guests coming on on the phone. I'm sorry,
what do you want for me? James Worthy? James Worthy's
got to come on because he missed yesterday and we
pay him, so he's coming on next. And then uh,
Steve Garvey, Steve Garvey, Dodger hero, fresh off an almost
(09:30):
successful political campaigns so close and in a blue state.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
That was a tall order for Steve Garvey. He almost
pulled it.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Off anyway, So Steve Garvey's got something to promote and
we're going to talk to him. But I want to
talk about West Covina because I think it is an
important place where we are to discuss the history of
West Covina.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Who's in for that? Oh, beg you.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
This is a great room. It's great to see everybody.
Some traffic tried to hinder us, but we're here. If
worst came to worst. Bert said he was going to
do the show with me. You're a panicking and he
said that he doesn't want to talk about sports. He
wants to talk about his passion opera, and we discussed
some musicals.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Really yeah, Bert loves the opera.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Anyway, many years ago, the evil city of Covina, not
West COVINAO who hears from Covina?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Traders?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Oh, traders and spies, fascist dogs. Covina is not a
Spanish word, so don't act all hard and be like, oh,
I live in Covina. Because it was a white guy
that was looking at it and he's like, oh, it's
like a cove and a vineyard. I'm going to put
(10:53):
those words together, and they came up with Covina one
square mile and all three is the motto for Covina.
I have no idea what that means. It sounds stupid.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
One square mile and all three anyway? Founded in eighteen
eighty two after it was a failed Costa Rican coffee plantation.
Free Costa Rican brothers thought they could make coffee in Covina,
and they failed.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
But it did.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Become after it was incorporated as a city, Covina a
huge orange producer. Covina got big, and a lot of
people moved to Covina, and people crap and pee, and
they needed to build a sewage farm like we have
here at the back of the BJS. And they wanted
(11:49):
to build a sewage farm where right here in beautiful
West Covina. They said, who cares about that place to
the west. We'll put all our refuse are awful into
West Covina. The people of West Covina, all five hundred
(12:10):
and seven of them, they saved, you, guys, those five
hundred and seven people one hundred years ago, went to court,
created their own town, incorporated in nineteen twenty three West Covina,
Thank you, which flourished, and now West Covina sees itself
(12:36):
as the headquarters of the San Gabriel Valley. Hence this
Bjay's restaurant and brew house. And do you think that
Jolly b would be here? No, if this wasn't the
headquarters of the San Gabriel Valley.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
No, you saw the high rise. Something to add.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
So this went from a porta potty to a city
potential porta potty, potential portapoti.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
The City of Covina was also looking to they're sewer
and Whittier. Oh that fell through as well. But either way,
many people want to know. If West Covina was built
to avoid becoming a sewage farm, a mere appendage of
the infrastructure of the City of Covina, then what happened
(13:18):
to the.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Actual sewage farm?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Where did it go? Where did it go? Didn't go
to Whittier, didn't go to West Covina.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
It ended up being built Irwindale in regular Covina.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Now you might be sitting here as a West Covidian
saying to yourself, wow, we really avoid it being about
a bunch of crap dwellers.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Not the case.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Unfortunately, one of the world's largest hazardous waste landfills is
right here in West Covina, right up against the San
Gabriel Mountains in AZEUSA.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
It is gigantic.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
We're talking about millions of tons of decomposing trash and
hazardous waste. But you don't know it's there because it's
covered up by beautiful grass and deer in trees.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Soon it'll be a community of houses. No, No, they
won't build on where they can't.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Why not, because it's it's toxic.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
It's it would cost to clean up the West Covina
hazardous waste landfill. It would cost one billion.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Dollars one billion with a bee.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Yes, but it looks like a nature reserve towering over
a SUSA Avenue here in West Covina.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Can you walk around on me? Am I wrong?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 6 (14:41):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
You can go up there.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Yeah, it's a public area. You can go hang out
with the dogs.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Mean, look, I mean I live in in ranch of
Palas Verni's Palas Vernes area.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
And it's nice you go back up on the hill.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
But that botanical gardens where everybody goes to, uh look
at flowers and stuff, it's a landfill. What it's right,
we're living on trash. But anyway, no sewer, huge landfill.
So I don't know, maybe maybe you should have just
let them build a sewer.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
It's no longer an active landfill, is it. It is no, no, no,
it's all covered up.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
It's covered up, but it's there and it should be removed.
Yet it's still there.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Anyway.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
We're here to fill the time like a landfill with
glad tidings and kinship.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Great sports talk for the end of the year. In
great sports Talk.
Speaker 6 (15:35):

There's also some.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
History where they're like, hey, we don't want black people
or Latinos here. But you know, Wikipedia get into that

but it's time for us to check in with our
Laker expert, the one and only James Worth, and.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Our weekly visit is driven by your Southern California four dealers.

Whatever you choose to do with that much power is

Ford models during Ford's year in Cellophon, the one and
(18:32):
Only James Worthy.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Ladies and gentlemen, reach no introduction, but we'll do one anyway,
Emmy Award winner Spectrum Sportsnet. Tonight, Lakers take on the
Kings to date, a Hall of Famer and when people
could not wait to watch NBA basketball on national TV.
That was his hair, That's right. No one was saying, Hey,
(18:56):
how come we're having problems? Is it the three pointer?
No one was asking that question. When James Worthy as showtime,
We're going up and down the Fabulous Forum. He joined
us now on the Petrosen Money Show. A hero to
the people. Merry Christmas, Happy holidays to you and your family. James,
how are you? Thanks for coming on?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Hello? Hello? Not North, not South, not e but what.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yallo Veda, the town close to all of our hearts. Uh,
you know, it's an interesting thing. It's like the NBA,
so many people consume it in so many different ways.
People stream it. Some teams, I remember when Blake Griffin
(19:42):
was on the Clippers. They're like just highlight reel teams
that people watch the highlight reels on YouTube. But it
is something that's being addressed right now. The NBA ratings
and and maybe the tournament that's this year didn't drive
the way they wanted it to. I know that's not
as much of a La Maker issue because of the
Laker fan base in town and what the Lakers mean
(20:04):
nationally and globally for sports. But do you have a
theory as to why overall the NBA struggled a little bit.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You know, I've been talking about that and brought to
my attici attention the last few years. And the only
thing I can think of is that, you know, the
fan uh, you know, they have so many ways to
like view the game. Some people aren't viewing the games.
(20:36):
I think a lot of guys aren't playing. The low
management thing. I think, you know, turn some people off.
I think the way some of the recent All Star
games have been played, All Star weekend used to be
a really good weekend for corporate and fan and that
(20:57):
Saturday engagement with fans uh in the game itself. So
I think, you know, it's it's gone away from what
it used to be. It's still exciting. I mean, it's
it's a lot of threes the top, you know, I
would say the top seven or eight players in the
(21:19):
NBA are they're non Americans, They're they're European players. So
it's as European game. And I think people are either
you know, trying to make the transition and are either
they're kind of falling off and maybe losing interest a
little bit. So it's a it's a big challenge your hand.
I mean, the talent is there, Uh, the entertainment value
(21:43):
is there, but it's interesting to see that they're still,
you know, working on working with that.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
What do you say to people that that that are
in favor of bringing back hand checking and maybe a
more physical brand of play, something that you guys were
more used to in your time and had stuff that
you guys had to overcome the score that a lot
of these guys don't don't really have to now.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
When I started watching the game, you know, when Kareem
Abdul Jabbar was Leuil Findor and he's Oscar Robinson, and
from the times that I started watching seriously, you know,
the Celtics with you know John Hevlichak and you know
west Unfelt with the with the bullets back in the day.
The game didn't change that much. You know that the
(22:31):
way the game was played, it didn't change. Guys maybe
got a little stronger, a little quicker, and I think
that's due to you know, I don't know if guys
could go back and play that way because they just
haven't learned how to play that way. They haven't spent
four years or three years in college like you know,
Bill Walton and leuil fend Or, you know, Austin Reeves,
(22:54):
Michael Jordan and I had three years where you'd get
that drill work. I think that's why the game changed.
I think that's why they took the hand check away
to make scoring easier. They moved a three point line
in at one point, you know, so you know, I
see a kind of carrying. You know, I don't know
how guys get four feet over there with it. You know,
(23:15):
it's crazy. So I understand it. You know, it's a
it's it's it's it's it's it's a modern day game.
But yeah, i'd like to see guys. I mean, the
G League is trying to, you know, do the best
they can. But if you don't know how to hand check,
if you don't know how to play physical without filing,
which we learned how to do. You know back in
(23:37):
college and high school. You learn how to buff a
guy when he came across the lane. It was legal
and so but you know, I don't know, it's it's
I'd like I'd love to see the games play, you know,
I don't want to see guys getting clotheslined like Michale did.
Kirk Rammy, but I would like to see you know,
(23:58):
the t was a physical team. We knew how to
play physic school. There was a lot of physicality. If
you don't think Karl alone and the Jazz knew how
to so it was it was the norm. But then
I think they took that away because they, you know,
the scoring was going down and now you can, you know,
you can hardly breathe on a guy.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
James. You mentioned All Star weekend, and they're gonna get
away from the All Star Game itself this year and
tried this All Star tournament with four teams of eight.
There's been a little bit of pushback from the current
players the last twenty four hours they were asked about it.
Kevin Durant was very vocal in saying he doesn't like
the idea. He just wants to play a game. They're
trying something a four team tournament. Do you like the idea.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I've never imagined it. I've never imagined an All Star game.
I mean, you're talking about a guy, an old school
far man. It was one game. You know, we played
up until Friday. A lot of teams. You were fortunate
you got that Friday off and you could travel to
an All Star weekend. You spent a busy weekend, you
played on Sunday, and then you were back at it
(25:08):
on Tuesday. That was that was That was it. So
the one game is enough. I know they're trying to,
you know, get the value of the game and get
people more excited, but I mean I would I wouldn't
want to do that much on the over All Star weekend.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Lakers and Sea are in Sacramento tonight to take on
the Kings, coming off a one to sixteen to one
ten win over the Memphis Grizzlies, a game James in
which we saw Max Christie get inserted into the starting lineup.
Do you like that movie? It could be something we
could see more from JJ Reddick. It's a nice little
mix to have him in there in the starting five.
What are your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
I love Max and tonight if you watch the show,
we picked someone to take our shot. I picked Max
Christy not to take the shot, but I picked him to,
you know, do some lock up defense. That's what he
said he wanted to do in preseason and training camp.
He said, look, I don't want to be that guy.
And just the effort that he put on job, you
(26:08):
might not stop everybody every night. Larry Bird said Michael
Cooper was the toughest guy that he ever played against
because Michael didn't take any time off on defense. He
was feisty and physical. And we need that. We need
our young guys like Max to create that energy. I
don't mind that, you know, Dalton Coloco, let him play.
(26:29):
We need that energy. We don't have Woods, we don't
have Hayes. We need energy. So I love MaTx Christy
out of Michigan State. He has the body decided and
you know, the experience and the attitude to do what
he's doing. I hope he continues it.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
So one and only James Worthy is our guest on
The Petrosen Money Show on Empire seventy La sparts our final.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Remote of the year.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
If you're not here for the remote, our apologies on
disturbing your wonderful Bjays Restaurant and brew House lunch and
James Worthy has done remote broadcasts with our show in
the past, and it's pandemonium.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
There's a line in the streets. It's true.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
People want autographs and stuff like that. It's been We've
been through that on Figure Row at the Hooters and
to close that place down. Oh good, h now, James,
Uh overall, Uh, do you see the Lakers getting through
this rough patch that they've kind of been on, the
confusion of Lebron's absence and all these different things happening.
(27:31):
Does does it kind of feel like that's in the
rear view now as they end of the new year.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Well, I hope so, I think, you know, I think
I think the break that they got, they really need it,
uh to just have meeting of the mind and get
some practice, I man, but more importantly, get refocused mentally.
As great as Lebron has been simple double tiple double
(27:56):
are you know grandfather, the time will tell you. You know, look,
you just can't pay this many minutes you gotta you know.
So hopefully that re energized him. But this this schedule
coming up Sacramento has not been times to the Lakers.
You know, we got him back to back, we got
to sit up in Sacramento for three days, so then
(28:18):
you got Golden State coming up. So they got they
gotta have their minds together on the defensive end. That's
why I like a guy like Max Christie who's point
of attack. And I hope that that's contagious. Ad does
what he does defensively, just get really read with the effort.
If they could have a point of attack defensively, their
(28:40):
offense usually follows. But it's when they're getting down fifteen
points and turning it over and then they get a
little funky. They can't afford to do that at the
start of these.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
Games, James, real quick as we get close to Christmas here,
and the joke's always, well, the NBA season doesn't start
to Christmas Day. We're twenty six games, gonna be twenty
seven now with this game tonight in Sacramento. End of
this JJ reddick first season. What have you thought so far?
What are your initial impressions here that were a little
a quarter of the way past the season and his
first year as head coach.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I like what he's doing. I liked his message from
the beginning. I didn't know until I didn't know until
you know, we had a chance to interview him at
press day. I've always known him as a player, and
you know his podcast and working on as an analyst,
and I've always liked his approach and how he looks
(29:34):
at the game. And I think he's bought a fresh approach.
You know, obviously the teams they were beating early on
one were not the upper usherlon teams like Phoenix Tenver,
but they weren't playing well and they need to get
back to that. And I think if they continue to
move the ball, don't depend on the bron so much
(29:55):
in the fourth quarter. You got to trust other people
to handle the ball and initiate the offense. I think
it wears them down. And I think, but you know,
if they could just follow his message. I like his
responses after the game, very honest about you know, the
coach can only plan and then the players have to
(30:16):
go out and get the job done. I think he
makes good decisions and time out, so I don't really
see it as the coaching. I think the players have
to take care of, you know, what they're doing on
the court.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
The great James Worthy.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Last thing for you, James, I think about those Sacramento
teams of your era. What did you guys used to
do back in the day when you went up to Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
My god, man, now you're talking about the RCO arena
and only seated about eleven thousand people and you couldn't
even see it as you were driving to it. You
just drove up on and was out in some big
cow pastor somewhere. We stayed in the holiday And the
only thing about it is I did enjoy going to
(30:59):
the museum.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
Wh Yeah, that's a great that.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yeah. Other than that, the twelve or whatever years I
had to go, it was probably one of the worst
places to go out. I know it's the capital to
love the state, but it was nothing going on in Saclement.
I wish you had state in Kansas City. Now. When
we went to Kansas City, King we got to get
some like good barbeque. When we got it all right,
you know what I'm saying, I feel you. You know
it's a short trip. I will say it's a short ship,
(31:26):
so I'll give it that. But cow bells in that
old Archo Arena was was not pleasure. That's so we
got sick up there.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Remember, Yeah, and that's where all our state taxes go
to Sacramento.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
You'd think they built something.

worker mannequins.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
Interesting like working on the It's part of the history
doing like West Covine has got history building the railroad.
You know, there's travel Town over in Griffith Park that's
got the trains, but.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
They don't have the little Chinese people. They're not little.
I mean they're lifetime.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
Maybe they'll at them.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
I mean they built the railroads.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Part of the history and it's a big part of
the history and you can learn about it at the
Trade Museum in Sacramento.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
I appreciate that they're putting that in the history of
the museum.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Maybe if Kobe wasn't so worried about eating cheeseburgers and
was more worried about learning about history when I got
sick up there.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
I'll never forget that night. Food poison for Kobe.

Speaker 6 (35:57):
Right on the ten this A and radio show, Bobby Drink.
I'll never forget.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
All right, it is time for a few textosox.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
USA time, brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
We make it easy.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
This is some local information about this BJS. According to
the text meso, this BJ's used to be the Safari Bar. Okay,
sounds like a place you could get the tipsy Snowman.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Before that, it was a PJ Pizzazz.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
Some old school guys, remember some people are like Pj's
in the eighties.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
I met my first girlfriend at the Peach Pizzan and
before that, all the way back, this building was not
zoned for a restaurant. It wasn't that a licorice pizza
a record store.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
I love records, like the movie Tim Conway Juniors in
like pizza exactly.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
But it was, yeah, liquors pizza like a like vinyl
licorice pizza like a record.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Yeah, you don't know what that is.
Speaker 6 (37:08):
Do you Conway's in a movie called Liquors, But.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Do you know that it's a reference to a record
No bag anyway, it used to be a record store.
I love records. So if you're thinking what should I
bring for Petros and you have like a Bell Bief
de Vaux record laying around the house, bring it to
me and a bottle of Maker's Mark as well.
Speaker 6 (37:30):
All right, secret.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
TeX's fine, brought to you by your so camed Toyota dealer.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
That's good West Covina knowledge.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Right there, the street next to the site of the
former West Covina landfill is named.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
A Roma Drive.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
That is the truth? Is that the truth? Couple ahead
nods yes, this.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Says, don't cater too hard to West Covina. That portion
of West Covina that you're in is a sliver on
the side of the tent. You are surrounded by Covena.
Most of West Covina is on the other side of
the tent. Now, I didn't notice that. As I was
(38:16):
rolling here down to ten, I noticed a sign that
it said next five exits Covina, and I'm like, well,
my exit's Barenka, And I thought I was going to
West Covina. I wrote this whole thing called Covina Evil
and all that, and now I'm gonna be in Covina.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
But we're surrounded. We're kind of like Israel.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
We're surrounded by people that hate us.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Interesting, Yeah, all right, the secret text does a sign.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
I figured Covina would send all that sewage to more Park.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
We know.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
What more Park is spelled backwards? Do you guys know
what more par is spelled backwards? And Moore Park is
a beautiful, beautiful towns that's right.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
Oh crap room, Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
The first time I saw it was in the rearview mirror.
Speaker 6 (39:11):
One asked you to talk.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
I know, Jesus Christ Almighty, you just came down like
a like the Phantom of the Opera, dropped the chandelier
on those people.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
How how could you, Burt?
Speaker 4 (39:23):
My God, what was your joke that was so what
was so great that you had to just crack a
mic and scare the hell out of me?
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Burt, Like, God was like, that's that you're dying, Not
like Jesus I was.
Speaker 7 (39:36):
I was driving in the valley and I happened to
look in the rearview mirror and saw the moor park sign.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I get it.
Speaker 6 (39:54):
I get it, rear view mirror, said crapper Room, I
get it, I get it. I'm taking that lamp back.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
This is an interesting text that we have many listeners now.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Sometimes when we come to like a place.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
Like West Covina, even though there's literally people that listen
to the show on the iHeartRadio app and like Sumatra
and all kinds of crazy places that we hear from,
we have a tendency to really focus locally, like on
West Covina and what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
But this is more prevalent to.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
The worlds of sports, and because on New Year's Day,
right in the Rose Bowl, the University of Oregon, the Ducks,
representing the Big ten of all places and the West Coast,
is going to play the winner of Tennessee versus Ohio State.
And this text says this, Petros, I'm passing by the
(40:48):
University of Oregon. I think the Ducks here in Eugene,
Oregon play here. It seems like a pretty weird place
for a college. Take care, Mary Krim. This is true,
and I always find this very interesting. Oregon is relevant
for one reason and one reason only in the world
(41:08):
of college athletics and that is because the movie Animal
House was shot there. No, it's well, that's true, but
it's actually because the guy from Nike before he dies,
Phil Knight, his dream in life and this is just
well documented and true, nothing wrong with it, but his
dream in life is that they went a national time
(41:30):
in his lifetime and they came a pubic hair away
when Chip Kelly was the coach. And it drives me
wild thinking about it because it was the most watched
VCS championship of all time and it was Oregon, from
little Eugene, Oregon, where it's all hippies and no one
(41:50):
even cares about football versus Auburn. Now I've been to Auburn,
Alabama too. That's not the end of the world, but
you could see it from there like these are not.
And that was the most watched Dame of all time.
Why because regionally, the East was interested and the West
(42:11):
was interested. But when you think about the place itself,
it's not a place that runs and thrives. Like if
you go on campus at Auburn, you feel football in
its veins. You go to Tuscaloosa, Ames Iowa, Iowa city
where the Hawkeyes play, I mean, but you walk around Oregon.
It's not like that, but they have the Nike guy.
(42:35):
It's really a great place for track and field if
you really want to talk about athletics history.
Speaker 6 (42:40):
But they have the Nike guy.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
They have a coach that knows what he's doing, and
they know how to develop offensive and defensive line. And
that's where all the best offensive and defensive linemen go
to be developed on the West Coast. They go to Oregon.
Are they going to USC to be developed by Lincoln Riley?
Speaker 3 (42:57):
Hell no, not much so.
Speaker 6 (43:02):
I love much So.
Speaker 4 (43:04):
I always find that interesting because you know, it's like
going to Boise, Like we've all watched Boise football for
years and years, right, the blue turf and Chris Peterson
and all that. If you don't call it proposal after
the game, yes, Chris Myers, I believe you don't have
a question or that place. You go up there to
(43:26):
Boise in this football you've watched on national TV for
twenty years and you're like, my god, this stadium doesn't
fit twenty eight thousand people. It's tiny, you know, but
you think about it as a big thing. And if
you think about it like that, it is that, you know,
and Oregon football is like that too. It's only loud.
I mean, there's a lot of people there and they're
(43:47):
all screaming, yell. But it's loud. Not because the people
of Oregon like football more than the people of Texas.
It's loud because there's no tunnels in the damn stadium.
Everybody comes in over the top. It's an echo chamber.
If you're there when it's empty, you clap your hands.
You hear it clap all around the stadium. So something
interesting to think about on New Year's Day when you're
(44:08):
watching football. You don't have the Petros and Money Show
to kick around and tell you what's what. We'll be
right back with your word number, song of the day.
Speaker 6 (44:15):
Oh, I got a great number of the day for you,
A great number of the day for you. Well, what
is it?
Speaker 4 (44:23):
You'll find out what's it about. You'll find out what's
it all about. Bjason west Covino. We have another couple hours.
Steve Garvey is going to join us in a few minutes.
Talk some politics, politics, poltict Yeah, some baseball.
Speaker 6 (44:41):
I just kid, I talk of baseball.
Speaker 4 (44:44):
But maybe maybe Steve Garvey has the political connections to
remove removed in landfill here.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
In West Virginia, I mean uh, West Covine.
Speaker 6 (44:52):
He was a few votes away from getting it.
Speaker 4 (44:54):
Freddie and slip, I'm from West Virginia. We'll be right
back on API seventy. LA Sports here a home of
the Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (45:08):
