We are hopeful everybody and dress nunship at noon, hopeful
music at new I thought she was gonna wear a
heat job. Anyway, We're hopeful that this week finds you well,
strong and ready to rock and roll in great sports talk.
(02:21):
We are looking forward to a haphazard week, but a
week nonetheless, and as you know, I don't know if
the Shnobi theme is ready, it certainly should be ready.
Special show, very special, because you know, Matt, last week
we got what we normally never get, which is a
(02:44):
pre warning or a sounding of sorts that Ronnie was
going to go on vacation. Usually the way Ronnie shows
up in a veil of fog or underneath a table
or somehow like a crack and a door or a
keyhole kind of materializes like a vampire. Usually the way
Ronnie shows up, we don't know his comings and goings.
(03:08):
Ronnie likes to keep very mysterious because well that's his power,
right his weekends, he didn't say where he was going,
but my my.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
He'll be out next week.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Boys.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yeah, worked throughout the holiday. Took a couple of days
off Christmas Day, Christmas Eve, but outside of that, I
was here every day. So I'll be taking my vacation.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
We normally never know that. And whoever we're working with
with the UH, with the engineering for the show, the
production engineer as it is called, whoever we're working with,
becomes a mystery, and we just all of a sudden,
ron and Kate's would text me or you an hour
or two before the show, like, hey, Ronnie's on vacation,
(03:57):
by the way, and ron he just falls out in
a trapdoor in a stage and then re materializes like
the Nutcracker or the Phantom of the Opera later which
is which is his way, that's.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
His house whereabouts?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Unnon that he likes that mystery, That mystery keeps Ronnie going.
He likes to keep us guessing, but we did get
a heads up so to speak. This week. Ronnie is
not in all week My inkling is a staycation. Was
what I what I would think if he was going
to New Orleans. I think he would have told us
(04:33):
get given the events there. Yeah, just full house Vegas trip.
You don't think I could in Something I learned this weekend.
P Money Carlow no longer there, rightie, Money Carlo has
become the park MGM. Maybe he calls Dave Weis and
gets a couple nights on the marongo. Oh, I could
see that. I could see that, right, He's done that
(04:54):
before to the desert. So Ronnie is not in all
week long. We will not have the chairman of the
board to kick around, but we do have one of
the most impactful, I mean really kind of slumming it
as he is the great youngest, the best young Asian
play by playman in town.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And it's not even close, I mean right, not even close.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
And his unbelievable work with the Dodgers that will earn
him a ring in twenty twenty four. Of course, his
fellowship work coming up on February. Now, you know a
lot of sex talk in February.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
A lot of sex talk in February. He does can
get a little warm down there.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Men's Bible groups, Women's Bible groups, kids Bible's groups. Will
he become a preacher or a play by playman?

He said, I need some help. I'm going on vacation.
You're the only guy left because Katie is is no

Plan's not dead, no no standing. I am the last
man standing. Katie is not. Katie is still with us,
(06:58):

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Right, Matt, I mean across that bridge. I mean that's
like agabond crane. What's he going down there?

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Hey, does Ronnie hide your stuff too? You know what
I'm saying?
Speaker 6 (07:45):

the holidays and we just found out Friday.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, what's up with that? Colin? How come?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Is that true?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Ronnie will tell you he never tells us anything.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
No, I probably should have said something, then, well you
would have. You probably should have said something, Colin?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Not you?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Hey have you been doing? Okay? Colin? How is your vacation.
You called some high school basketball these days? What are
you doing there now with fifty fifty Stephen?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Of course I love fifty to fifty Stephen. It was
a phenomenal vacation, great Christmas, awesome New Year's. Did some
basketball at the Classic at Damiens, so I've been having
a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Is fifty to fifty Stephen technically your boss? No, he's
just he's like the producer there with you. He's a producer.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
I will call out fifty to fifty Stephen though, because
at the Classic Damien and I love fifty fifty Amian.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Spartans, And well, here we go. This is what I'm
talking about, and I love fifty fifty Stephens.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Wait wait, wait wait, this is Greek news.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
This is Greek news.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
This is Greek news. And fifty to fifty Stephen was
at the Bjys in West Colvina where his mother was there. Oh,
we worked for embraced and showed holiday spirit and love
for each other. We had great fellowship, you know, Colin,
I know you're gonna appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Yes, I'm always up for great fellowship and.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
News that is Greek invented and with the first people
I might have to. I might have to tiptoe. Now
here's Petros Papa Donkeys.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
I'm gon have to tiptoe a little bit because I
am working with fifty to fifty Stephen.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Uh this Saturday?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Well what what? What is I mean?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
This is twenty five?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I mean usually Colin, you're such a turn the other
cheek time.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
You're right.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
No, I love I love fifty to fifty Stephen. But
I will say the classic a Damien. He forgot to
tell us our MIC's wrong. No, and nothing nothing bad
was said, Nothing bad was said.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Now I will I will give him this.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You didn't call a kid a dumb ass like that
modernay guy? Did you? No, dumb ass kid? Why isn't
he covering tighter? That's stupid ass.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I didn't do that.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
And my partner was Jeene Barnes and myself on the call,
and I will give Stephen.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I will say this for him.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Is that in the first game that we did, he said, Hey,
I'm gonna turn your mics on for the starting lineups.
I totally forgot that he was going to do that.
In the second game and he did that again. So
we had a full on conversation before the game I
watched it back and I was like, oh, thank goodness
that we didn't say anything too bad, although we were
giving our like predictions, like, oh, who do you think
(10:29):
is gonna win this game?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
So that was a little like unprofessional professional.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I've got audio of that here.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Actually, yeah, let's get.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
It pass intended for number eleven Tyler George an incomplete
cuddly markers down. Turn around you, dumb ass.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
All right.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I don't know why I'm calling a sixteen year old
a dumbass.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Oh my gosh, turn around you.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I mean, come on calling. You're gonna get in trouble
for that. It was rough.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
So I as much as I love fifty fifty Stephen,
you're very upset with him.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
I can you just let us know next time that
the mites are hot? Even though you are let us
know in the first game, I didn't say anything. I
didn't want to make it any dude, you can't do that.
I didn't want to make him feel bad.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
You know.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
It was it was right before New Year's He's awesome
job as.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Well, this is your livelihood. Okay, sometimes people have to
be put in their place.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Dumb ass, your career got ruined like that, modern day guy.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
You know, it's like you need to know the MIC's
always hot. So it was partially on me. It's like
you can't be talking. It's a good point talking while
while the starting lineups are being out. So it's a
little bit of both of us. I will say, just
next time, Stephen, you gotta let us know we're hot.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Dumb ass read it his eyes. I don't know why
I'm calling a sixteen year old a dumb ass.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
I don't either, but it's going to cost you your job, sir.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I lost my pa if I played job.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Can you imagine Colin blowing up, just the the benevolent,
sweethearted Colin ye.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Stephen good over here? Oh yeah, going crazy? Do you
realize it's the Colonelsin of media to not tell someone
the work. I'll tell you what that. Colin Yee's a
real calm, faithful man of God, but when he gets angry,
he becomes a savage. Career Well, you know, it's really interesting. Uh,
(12:35):
I've been glued to Twitter for like the last twenty
four hours and we're not I don't know, I just
I just love I don't know. My screen time is
just shut up? What's going on? I don't know Speak already,
what's happening. I'm watching Speak right now, and it looks
like even though they have Keyshawn Johnson, who's very very demonstrative,
(12:55):
you know, LA superstar, and Michael Irvin, the playmaker.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
King of demonstrability in media.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
And old Booty Shaken Paul Pierce, all three of those
guys are there on Speak, and of course Joy Taylor,
it just seems like more of a subdued show this
this week. For some reason.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
I though, well, you know, what the playoffs are starting.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
You don't want to freak out too much, right you
want to conserve your energy for divisional round championship week.
We got, you know, the college football playoffs Thursday and Friday. Yeah,
so you know, maybe you just want to, you know,
have a nice slow build. Let's just take it easy today,
a little bit more tomorrow, and then we'll maybe start
(13:38):
to normalize on Wednesday. Maybe by Thursday, we're gonna be
focused in on this, uh this college stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
And that's not the normal weekend.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
That's not the normal lineup on Speak either. I don't know,
I don't understand anyway, Uh yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Do like Michael Irvin with a sweater tied around his
neck though, that's it's a hell of a look. Yeah,
we're gonna be robo soil coach.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well, it looks like, you know how they have a
girl like a girl wears a sweatshirt and then she
has another one tied around her waist. Yes, and it's
kind of like, I know, you're just doing that to
cover your ass because otherwise, you know, why do you
need two sweatshirts? I mean, why won't you just let
people see your ass? Why are you wearing those yoga pants?
And Michael Irvin with the male version of that, he's
(14:21):
already got a sweater on yet he's second sweater, so
it would be very awkward to put that. I mean,
that other sweater is never going on?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Is it maybe like just doodling? Is it maybe a
scarf on a day rate? So I'm just gonna sit here,
but I ain't going Yeah, He's like, I'm just gonna
do it.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It's a long hour of television, you know. An hour
of TV is like four hours of radio. That is
a long hour of television. And not normally do we
watch FS one, but I gotta wait for the FCS College.
I watched it in years well, Matt, I work there
and I don't want these shows, but but around four o'clock,
(15:06):
I do want to check out the FCS playoffs. As
far as uh scandal talk, You're not gonna get any
from me, You vultures and jackals. I don't know what
the matter with you people. You people are like animals
and dogs and hyaenas nipping at the heels of well
healed and honorable people like myself.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
And let me just say this, and Matt many Smith,
then if you're not going to, I would just like
to make the statement. But I want to shout yaut.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Pee you are you're gonna shout me out?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I want you to know how proud I am. But
you know how proud am are you? You know it's
not It's not every day that a Greek American with
a cadaver bone in his foot right, and you know,
I was to host his own radio show, Breathing problems,
Breathing problems. It's not every day that that happens. And
for for people that think this, they think this is easy.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Not just a host, Matt, I don't just ask questions.
I'm an opinion.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
No, no, you are, you are an opinion shaper. I are
a someone who's going to deliver your opinion, not just
curate and pass you know, my opinion and Tim Kate's
opinion and Colin Yee's opinion about how a producer is
supposed to operate and let you know when the mics
are on and when they're not and just kind of
pass that that ball around.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
No, you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Provide yours, You're gonna share. I'm an insight and analysis
and that is really hard to do in twenty twenty
five as a Greek American with a cadaver bone in
his foot and appen, you're absolutely right, and a tongue
that's too big for his mouth that.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Hurts, so my foot hurts. My tongue rattling around against
my teeth is also very upsetting. Thanks for mentioning that.
But you know, at least I'm not wearing a sweater
with a sweater wrapped around my back. I do have
that going for me. I don't know how that goes
in the ward. Here's we're putting on you today. I've
noticed there's two sweaters in my dressing room. Yeah, you're
(17:04):
gonna wrap one around your neck and you're gonna put
the other one.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
On in wardrobe today. I've never been told to put
a sweater on over a sweater.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Hello, my name is Bruce and I'm in wardrobe now.
And this is Brad he'll be doing your hair.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
And Joe Taylor is is dressed like a school marm
for the first time ever. And then Keishawan and Paul
Pierce are dressed like they're in The Outsiders. They have
like matching coats. I don't get it. Do it for Johnny?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
So there you go. There's the uh, there's the analysis
you came for.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I don't know what people want me to say. You know,
I'm not I'm not telling tales out of school Matt.
That's not the type of person I am.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
It's not for me to say anything. I was neither here. Well,
I was here, I was not there.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I was there, but like Jimmy Cliff and the harder
they come, I was there, but I disappear. I like
the Keyshan's looking at his phone.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
He can't stop me, keeps looking down. He is doodled.
He's looked at his phone.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I gotta get out of here.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
It's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Hey Keyshaw you in town, Hey Keyshawn, you in town today. Yeah, why,
what's up?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
We're gonna use you today. You never used me unspeak.
You don't put me in place of I don't worry
about it. Put you on there though.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Where am I gonna sit? Am I gonna sit in
the the anchor man sitting?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Nope?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Now you're gonna sit in middle? Is that right? What's
my day rate?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Again?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Substantial and we'll double it today. Okay, I'll see you there.
But don't think I'm looking at my single I'm gonna
stare at my sheet of paper and doodle the whole time.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh matt uh. Somebody also wanted to chime in about
reasons to be proud of me. Oh, this comes from
the six to one nine. It says, don't forget the
myriad social anxiety problems. How hard it is people, a
giant cadaver, cloven hoofbone?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
What do you think it's easy? You think it's easy
to give your opinions in this social media commentary world
we currently live in.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Proud of you too, Matt. Oh. Thanks. You don't even
wash your hair and you're still pumping it out.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
It's not easy. People tell you you're stinky you're infected
with bacteria.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I did watch for the very first time in my life,
like ten fifteen minutes. Like I've seen clips on Twitter
and stuff, because he's always saying provocative things. But I did,
for the very first time in my life watch like
fifteen minutes of Jason Whitlock, Okay, on his on his
show class That's right.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Why what was the topic of the day that that
led you to tune in?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
He was talking about Fox Sports one Oh.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I was thinking to play and.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
It was interesting because you know, it became all about him,
you know, and I was left to sample those playthings,
and I was made clear to me that I could
use those playthings if I wanted was to put her
on my should.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Interesting angle, interesting angle to take the day.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I did not speak to the makeup people in such
a way because I was often cornered and people were
looking to corner me.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And for whatever reason, the man with the misshapen eye
and the teeth that are far too small for his
head seems to get off scott free on this one.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Well, there are no winners, Matt.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
There are none, poor Earl Watson. Yes, exactly right.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
We will return, like Jay, keep your disc what like
Jay keep your disc? What excuse me? Like Jay keep
your disc? Are you telling yourself to keep your distance?
Speaker 4 (21:00):
This is my inner dialogue right now.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
These women wanted me, they did. Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
I'm sorry?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Is that like the Mark Wahlberg internal narrative that if
he were on one of the nine to eleven flights,
he would have been able to storm the.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Can He was on the flight, Whitlock was on the fly,
And it's an interesting listen. You know, I never listened
to Fearless before, so that was, you know, for that
for a long period of time. And then the other guy,
Marcellus Wiley, who got pushed out apparently or allegedly he's
talking all crazy today? Is that right?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
How many memes are you watching? Fifty more and don't
forget about more.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Don't forget about close That gets you up to five
hundred or more?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Come on more Weird? Time to be alive.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Wow, it's like a sweater around your neck when you're
already wearing one. The Petrosi Buddy Show on seventy LA
Sports will be back with the top story of the day,
Chargers going to Texas. I mean, I wish we had
the sponsor so it could be a Meet a Lot
of Monday.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
We got both in just the second time since they've
both been in Los Angeles. The first twenty eighteen, Rams
lost the Super Bowl to the Patriots. Chargers lost to
those same Patriots in New England in the divisional round
after a wild card victory in Baltimore over the Ravens.
So what are the chances we could have an All
LA Super Bowl down in New Orleans come the second
(24:00):
weekend in February. Well, considering three quarters of the Super
Bowls have one of the one seeds, Probably not great,
but at least as a wild card table, at least
the Rams have a home game.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
That's a good start.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
McVeigh versus hardball.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
The Chargers are in.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
The right sloppy that's what we're kind of. That's what
we're going to sell for now. It's happened seven to
The Chargers are in the right slot, the five. It
has happened seven times in league history, and five times
this century it has come from the five hole, which
makes sense. Chances are, if you're the top wild card,
(24:43):
maybe you're a better team than one or more of
the division winners. You were just blocked by a team
that was on a heater and ended up with the
best record in the league. Is the one seed forcing
you to have to win three road games? To get
to the super Bowl. Just happened four years ago, twenty
twenty Buccaneers with Tom Brady. As a matter of fact,
since they went to four divisions, not entirely that uncommon.
(25:04):
Since two thousand, like I said, five wild card teams
have made the super Bowl and won the Super Bowl.
So a quarter of the time, uh twenty five percent
success rate five s.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I believe. I believe our listeners, I mean, without worrying
about all the players and their dreams and their life
stories and Jim Harbaugh and his staff, I believe our
listeners would love to get on the Bolt's boat to
the super Bowl with the voice of the Bolts, Matt
Muddy Smith, and go on that journey with you.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Matt, I believe what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I believe that as a guy with a lisp and
a cadaver bone that shouldn't even be here. So proud
of you, I think that that's what the people want. Well,
there is precedent. They want to hear you be like
the top story of the day. Well they did it, Pete,
they did it. They're moving forward. They chargers moment.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
And I think you're coming. As much as you may
not want to you're gonna spend the week in New Orleans. Hell,
you're coming. The bolts are in and you are coming.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
The Aaron Rodgers Super Bowl title was his wild card
Eli Manning Giants who ruined Brady in the Patriots perfect season.
They were the wild card Big Ben Steelers that knocked
off Matt Hasselbeck Seahawks wild card and penalty it was
a holding penalty. The Trent Dilfer, perhaps greatest defense in
the history of the NFL. Ravens, who beat the Giants,
(26:28):
also a wild card. So while having the Chiefs chasing
a three peat and for all intents and purposes posting
a fifteen to one season, we won't count the disaster
that was yesterday resting everybody. A red carpet rolled out
for Denver to make it three AFC West teams to
punch their tickets into the turn a sidebar on that.
By the way, Yeah, they didn't rest their starters because
(26:49):
they're afraid of the Bengals. I mean, maybe they should
be a little bit, but then yeah, it's it's a
team that has been hammered by injuries all season Long's
chief and even though they already get a bye, they
just have the luxury of not having to risk anything
to keep the top spot. So while I am part
of those lamenting the exclusion of Joe Burrow, and I'd
have loved to have seen how tight Josh Allen's butthole
(27:12):
would have been with Burrow and the Bengals going to
Buffalo threatening to bounce them in a one and done
in front of their home crowd, and then maybe even
do the same to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. But too,
the Bengals didn't win enough games, go ten and seven
and not nine to eight, and don't lose four games
in excruciating fashion with miss field goals or drop passes
or defensive pi's on fourth and twenty. So you know,
(27:36):
Bo Nicks and the Broncos and Sean Payton, brilliant, brilliant
play caller, an all time great hang top top five. Meanwhile,
the Chargers, like the other five seed vikings.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Nobody had to call hr when Colin Cowherd was having
a top five hang with Peyton though.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yet I mean they took it off site, they took
it to Park City and that hot top with them Seagars.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Trying to say that was a smoking pull.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
The Chargers and the other five seed Vikings are both
road favorites. Should they be?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Vikings picked a pretty crappy time to play their worst
game and paid for it by having to come out
here to play a Monday night or at so far
against the Rams team that's playing some really good football,
started one and four, ripped off a nine and two
run after that, able to rest their guys in Week eighteen,
Sean McVay saying he valued the buy more than the seeding.
That's freaking big balls right there.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Man, Yeah, big balls.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
But gee knowing the four seed was taken on a
fourteen and three team that had played great football season long,
either the Vikings or Lions. When he made that decision,
of course, they played Sunday night, so he did not
know which of the two would be his opponent. But
I'm I'm gonna say it could not have worked out better.
A lot of people woke up this morning with a
lot of Sam Darnold slander, seeing ghost Bs missing layup
(28:52):
throws that he'd been making all year when the pressure
was on, and how the Vikings should have been up
at least two scores at the half were it not
for his not just sub are but seriously bad play
one for nine passing in gold to go situations. So
in the case of McVeigh, when you got a thirty
six year old quarterback who's got a bad back, and
if he's out, you have zero chance whatsoever, probably makes
(29:12):
sense to prioritize health, I guess. But after reading Bill
Plashke's glowing review of Sean mcvay's decision to sit everybody
and not care about what team he faced in the
first round of the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Did that bother you his glowing review?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Well, it didn't, because again, yeah, he sounds a little
bit like it did.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Matt sounds a little bit like it did.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Well, you're the football guy here.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I mean, it sounds like you might be so jealous
that you might offer somebody a million and a half
dollars to write a different column.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Let me run this by you.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Maybe there is a little chess being played by McVeigh.
Kevin O'Connell, former McVeigh lieutenant, runs the same system Arnold
athletic for sure, but he's not a running quarterback. Two
hundred yards and one score on the ground this year,
Josh Allen got the rams for eighty two yards and
three rushing touchdowns Kyler Murray for sixty yards on five carries.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
They fear the quarterback rush? Is that what you're trying
to say?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Both of those teams hung forty on the Rams. You
knock off the Vikings, and you get Jared Goff not
very mobile, and yes, a very good Lions offense, the
best offense in the NFL for sure.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
But Kelly Stafford, what are they gonna say to Kelly
if they have to go back to Detroit, She's gonna
have to hire a whole secret service detail.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
She's gonna be very uncomfortable with the praise that Jared
Goff is getting.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
The pocket passer.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Now, Jaden Daniels, you might call that Matt Before we
get into Jayden daniels rushing numbers. Because the Rams have
a tough time with rushing quarterbacks, you might want to
call that conversation. If the Staffords have to go back,
don't do it to Detroit A what. I don't think
that conversation would be very comfortable. In fact, I would
(31:08):
even call that an uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Conversation with a player's wife.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Jayden Daniels.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Eight hundred and ninety one rushing yards, six touchdowns, likely
followed by a Philadelphia team with the best defense in
the NFC and probably the league this year, a team
that McVeigh watched Saquon rush for two hundred and fifty
five yards at SOFI against them with one of the
best running quarterbacks in the game in Jalen Hurts, who
had fourteen rushing touchdowns this season and has been rested
(31:38):
these last two weeks getting ready for the playoffs. I
think you can make a pretty strong case that the
four over the three for the Rams and a path
of Vikings Lions versus Commanders Eagles might actually match up
better with them.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
So you think that Rams took a dive on purpose
and the Chiefs took a dive just to take a
dive because they're all beat up.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I'm not saying that he took a I'm just saying
that celeb I'm Here's all I'm saying it is. It
is in direct response to the tone of the article
from Bill plash Key, which was Sean McVay is a
I don't care who the opponent is exactly, and I
(32:20):
think it's more, Hey, if we win, fine will be
the three seed. If we lose. I could actually make
a case that it's maybe a better path for us.
So either way, I'd rather rest my guys because I'm
kind of good with either outcome. It doesn't matter to me.
And I can maybe defensively make a case that we're
more suited to go up against the pocket passer than
(32:42):
we are the running quarterback based on what we've seen
this year.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
It's by no means do I think he intentionally lost
the game. I think it was just so much value
on hell that he was very comfortable with being the
four seed and playing the Vikings potentially followed up by
the Lions or vice versa.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Well, let me ask you this, what's the opposite of comfortable?
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Uncomfortable? That's an uncomfortable right.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
They lose to the Vikings after resting his starters, he's
gonna have to have a very uncomfortable conversation with an
LA Times columnist.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
And stuck on neck out for you and cronky cru
damn it shut. I wrote a piece that celebrated you,
scud a.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Dollar, the bolts played, everybody, bring out the SHAMMI, let's go,
let's go, give me the bucket, give me the gloves.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
And when I say gloves.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
I want the ones that have like the uh the
sponges on the fingers to really wash the bolts.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Wash the bolts, keep score, wash bolt squeek clean.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
They gave up a garbage TD when Ap decided to
use his timeouts down twenty one to get a score
against the Chargers' backups. Didn't prevent him from finishing his
the league number one scoring defense seventeen points seven points
per game to the Eagles seventeen point eight points per game.
Justin Herbert is riding some serious momentum into the postseason.
His last ten quarters, beginning with the second half versus
(34:12):
the Broncos in the following two games against the Pats
and the Raiders, seventy four percent sixty eight to ninety two,
seven hundred and ninety four yards, seven touchdowns, zero interceptions,
ten rushes for ninety five yards. Lad McConkey became the
first rookie wide receiver to go for at least fifty
receiving yards in ten consecutive games, breaking obj's record. Finishes
(34:33):
as the second best or number one slot receiver in
most statistical categories, either just behind or just ahead of
Ceedee Lamb, and he was the ninth pass catcher taken
in the draft by Joe Harties and posted a rookie
year of eighty two catches, eleven hundred and forty nine
yards and seven touchdowns. It's the ninth receiver taken. Quentin
put on a show for the general manager that selected
(34:55):
him in the first round. Quinn took a lot of
incoming for doing so. Yeah, tom there is the gym
of the Raiders watching.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Like, oh, interesting time, We're gonna have Quintin Johnston on tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
That's right, hell of an effort. Thirteen catches, one hundred
and eighty six yards, the seventh best performance in Charger history,
as he was able to shake off a rough go
his rookie season for fifty five seven hundred and eleven
and eight touchdowns and put his best performance out in
Game seventeen. The defense gave up a total of thirty
three points in those same ten quarters, or on average,
(35:29):
just over twelve points per game. Ten of those points
were in the final seconds of a game where the
opponent had no chance in the case of the touchdown yesterday,
or very little chance in the case of the Broncos
field goal on Thursday Night Football that led to an
onside kick that are almost impossible to recover. Now with
the new rules, they're playing the best football then they
have all season. Derwin James has been in the conversation
as the best defender in football over this same stretch.
(35:52):
And now they head to Houston to take on a
Texans team that's struggled, really struggle on offense with all
the injuries they're dealing with. An offensive line has not
been able to protect CJ.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Stroud.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
He's been sacked fifty two times this year. He's thrown
twelve interceptions. Stefan Diggs and Tank Dell are both out
for the season with their injuries. He has not been
the same since they went down. They don't necessarily run
the ball that well. They don't score a lot of points,
and the Chargers defense is coming in with the number
one scoring defense in the league, so it doesn't match
up well for them. It's an offense that has struggled
(36:26):
in the Chargers to score a lot of points themselves
over the course of the season.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Only to you got to put that Jacksonville Jaguars trip
in the rear view, Matt. That's a whole different world now.
It's not going to happen this time, same Saturday. Different.
It's not going to take you to Houston to lose, Matt.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
No, that's not why you go to Houston. You don't
go to Houston to lose. You go to go to
Galveston and that's stankass water. That's why you go to Houston.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Well, break out of that funk.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
I'm working on that.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
The Chargers offense thankfully broke out of the funk against
the number one defense in the league and the Broncos.
They hung thirty four on them. They followed that up
with forty then took on a Raiders team that actually
had been playing, as Tim Kates can attest to, some
pretty good defense the last month, been one of the
five best defenses and a lot of metrics in the
league over the last month, and they got them for
thirty four. So they can manage to get a win
(37:15):
on the road in Houston. It's likely they'll head to
Kansas City for the third matchup against the Chiefs. First
two came down to a doink that went through for
a win by two points, and the first loss to
the Chiefs was a busted play for fifty four yards
seventeen to ten. They dropped that one. So Chiefs though
they figured out a way to win games all season.
Not taking anything away from them, I mean, obviously they
were freaking fifteen and one.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
But point is, it.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Appears as though this Chargers, this iteration of Chargers team
can hang with the Chiefs. They can trade punches, and
in the playoffs, if you can keep it a one
score game into the middle or the late fourth quarter,
anything can happen. Considering the stakes. And they have a
coach like Jim Harbaugh leading these guys who's done as
much winning as anyone out there and perhaps has has
(38:01):
planted those seeds of belief in this team that maybe
makes it feel like it could break out. It could
break the schedule pretty well in their favor by being
able to get that five and start this thing in
Houston instead of Baltimore or Buffalo. So it could be
a very exciting NFL postseason here in Tompy.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
It could Matt wash the Bolts, wash the Bolts in
the Briny. It's gonna be epic down in Houston.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
Matt LA's out.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
How far is Galveston from Houston.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
I gotta fight.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
I think it's just right off the coast, right.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Right off the coast. Yeah. Sure, it's a coastal town
right there, it's where's the Golden gate Bridge? Whyatt's right
over there. We'll be back with your how is your weekend?
Featuring Colin ye We'll do your word number song of
the day during Colin Yee. He might even send it
(39:02):
all the way out to break Matt. That's how good
he is. What I know, as you would call it
in your FM parlance, the lockout.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
I'm fifty miles Houston to Galveston.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
That's a little too far. I can't, in good art,
I can, in good conscience send you to the Old
Quarter where Town van Zant recorded a live album in Calveston.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Well, we are going a day early.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
That's pretty far, Matt. You're gonna be pissed. You were
pissed that you had to drive across Jacksonville to go
see a dinosaur.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
Yeah, I was. Well, it's because I took an uber.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Well that's not my first problem.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
To the middle of nowhere, and the guy wouldn't wait
for me.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Just to take a quick picture, just to.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Take a photo with a punk ass clay dinosaur.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
A dinosaur that wore the sash in victory after Jacksonville
sent the Chargers home with a loss that many argue
Brandon Staley never recovered fro him.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
I think that's that.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
We'll be back with how was your weekend? Not a
lot of smiles from her on the show today, Matt,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Oh there's one.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Oh wow, you know what time look at that. It's
a big thank you everybody for listening. We are flexed
back today. Somebody just sent it text like flex back
on the first show of the year. Uh, it's not
the first show. Matt and I were back last Thursday,
so you could podcast that stuff on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
You know how he You know how hard we work,
very do you have to put up with? You know
hard is to do this job. Very That's why I'm
so pleased we've had to overcome.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
That's why I'm proud of you, Matt.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
I'm proud of you.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Pe hold on, let me do a selfie Instagram video
to post how proud I am of you and how
everybody better bow down and respect you for over coming
on the obstacles.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Yes, I want to be preached to and talked down
to like I'm stupid. That's why I follow you on Twitter. Well,
we're happy to be with you, but we do have
a quick show. We'll we have a three to six
thirty tomorrow before the UCLA game, like Matt said, but
the Clippers are coming up early. But we do have
(41:21):
right now. How was your Weekend's do what I do?
The weekend is mine son, How was your weekend?
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Friday Night got started p Hennessy's The PBJ Trio played
PMS listeners. Silk and Missus Silk Jen came out. Uncle
Val great to see them, as did the Good Doctor
and Missus Good Doctor. And it turns out they discovered
that the Good Doctor's dad was Silk's orthodonist and as
(41:52):
he was a child and he had.
Speaker 4 (41:53):
Serious small one.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
You know, back then the braces were a real real issue,
tight in the and the wax and the rubber bands
and all that.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
It still totally sucks.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Yeah, but now you know, everybody gets the invisil line
kind of thing and you snap those plastic things in
your mouth.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
I don't know. My son had oral surgery and a
gigantic wire metal braces. Oh yeah, living the life here.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
Well, maybe he can do the same thing with his
braces that you did with yours as a favor to you,
repaying the favor that you did to your parents.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
I'm not going to relay the story, even though you
opened the door.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
I served all morning Saturday, and then I had to
do a little bit of spot maintenance, having a few
issues on that front, and I'm not entirely handy, so
they were like stickers all over the thing about electrocution,
and I decided, you know what, I'm just going to
call somebody to look at this. Spent time with with
Parker before she went back to Slow for the quarter,
(42:51):
and then flud Vegas. Had dinner at Pianos, highly recommended
if you've never been. They put our group right in
the bar in front of about six TVs to watch
the Cincinnati Pittsburgh game, and Sunday went to the stadium,
caught up with their old friend Tommy Telesco, hurt Kates
while I was taking a whiz, and got home around
eight pm yesterday after the Big Chargers victory, and did
(43:11):
the IG Live post game wrap up.
Speaker 4 (43:13):
That was my weekend.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
Kates is like Ronald McDonald miller. He's big in bathrooms.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
How did I do, Matt when you were taking a leak,
you were doing a scoreboard update.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
So you did great, Yeah, you did great.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Appreciate that Matt's got a good prostag.
Speaker 6 (43:28):
So't that maybe next time taking your phone out video it?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Oh, that would be sweet. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
So it's funny you say that, Kates. I had my
phone out and I was going to video, but everybody
had the same idea and was in there, and I was.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
Like, eh, everyone was like, my god, I want to
listen to Kates every of their phone out. I have
that with people.
Speaker 6 (43:48):
Friday night, guys got an early start to the weekend
by going out with my parents and my family to
dinner to Michelli's. Then we went and saw Wicked at
the Petatos Theater.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Girls Wanted with Arian Grande and her ribs out.
Speaker 6 (44:02):
That's the movie version of live version. This is the
live stage theater that has been in La forever. It's
come back now that the movie is out. It's very
popular again, no put intended. But the movie itself is
the first act. It's the first half of the move
of the stage production. So a lot of people when
they watch the stage production and the second half starts,
(44:22):
they're like, hey, I don't know anything.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
What is this?
Speaker 6 (44:23):
We've never seen this part because the movie hasn't gotten
there yet because part two doesn't come out until next Thanksgiving.
So that was fun and intermission people are like, so,
what's gonna happen here in the second act?
Speaker 1 (44:33):
We do? We know what's gonna happen to the witches.
They're gonna lose a lot of weight and get real weird.
Speaker 4 (44:38):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6 (44:40):
Saturday had UCLA Nebraska post game Sunday Raiders Chargers for
Compass Media Networks and got going on season two of
Squid Games. So I'm about three or four episodes into
season two of that showing what.
Speaker 4 (44:54):
Are You a weak?
Speaker 1 (44:55):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (44:55):
I'm two in man, I'm excited. It's very violent, it is.
Speaker 6 (44:58):
I like the storyline about how he goes back into
the game.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Spoiler alert. Just a week ass weekend, Kates, is it?
I mean it's wicked. Come on, wait till Colin he
blows you out of the water. I bet he had
a big orgy in a b jacuzzi with a dolphin.
Speaker 4 (45:12):
Colin, Colin, how's your weekend?
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (45:14):
It was amazing, jam packed weekend because our friend from
Oregon was back in town.
Speaker 4 (45:21):
N No no, no, no, he's a little bit cooler.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
His name Joris.
Speaker 5 (45:25):
His name's Joris, and uh yeah, he was back in town.
So we all hung out. We all just went to
go eat food and play some board games.
Speaker 4 (45:34):
We went to uh ad groom board game.
Speaker 5 (45:39):
Yeah, we actually so my friends they're big board game people, right,
And we played this board game called Neanderthal Poetry for Neanderthals.
And it's this game where you have to uh try
and guess a word and the person giving out the
guesses can only only use one syllable words. It's actually
pretty funny. And then yeah, we played a bunch of
(46:01):
escape rooms. We actually played, I believe this weekend. We
played Five Sounds very Christian, so it was super.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
Fun, and traveled the city and went to five escape
rooms in person. They were all in one area, the
Diloma Mall. Okay, oh yeah, right in Torrents. He's not Wow, no,

but Jeff Passing uh and Fabian Ardaya from Where's he from?

We are hopeful everybody and dress nunship at noon, hopeful
music at new I thought she was gonna wear a
heat job. Anyway, We're hopeful that this week finds you well,
strong and ready to rock and roll in great sports talk.
(02:21):
We are looking forward to a haphazard week, but a
week nonetheless, and as you know, I don't know if
the Shnobi theme is ready, it certainly should be ready.
Special show, very special, because you know, Matt, last week
we got what we normally never get, which is a
(02:44):
pre warning or a sounding of sorts that Ronnie was
going to go on vacation. Usually the way Ronnie shows
up in a veil of fog or underneath a table
or somehow like a crack and a door or a
keyhole kind of materializes like a vampire. Usually the way
Ronnie shows up, we don't know his comings and goings.
(03:08):
Ronnie likes to keep very mysterious because well that's his power,
right his weekends, he didn't say where he was going,
but my my.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
He'll be out next week.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Boys.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yeah, worked throughout the holiday. Took a couple of days
off Christmas Day, Christmas Eve, but outside of that, I
was here every day. So I'll be taking my vacation.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
We normally never know that. And whoever we're working with
with the UH, with the engineering for the show, the
production engineer as it is called, whoever we're working with,
becomes a mystery, and we just all of a sudden,
ron and Kate's would text me or you an hour
or two before the show, like, hey, Ronnie's on vacation,
(03:57):
by the way, and ron he just falls out in
a trapdoor in a stage and then re materializes like
the Nutcracker or the Phantom of the Opera later which
is which is his way, that's.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
His house whereabouts?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Unnon that he likes that mystery, That mystery keeps Ronnie going.
He likes to keep us guessing, but we did get
a heads up so to speak. This week. Ronnie is
not in all week My inkling is a staycation. Was
what I what I would think if he was going
to New Orleans. I think he would have told us
(04:33):
get given the events there. Yeah, just full house Vegas trip.
You don't think I could in Something I learned this weekend.
P Money Carlow no longer there, rightie, Money Carlo has
become the park MGM. Maybe he calls Dave Weis and
gets a couple nights on the marongo. Oh, I could
see that. I could see that, right, He's done that
(04:54):
before to the desert. So Ronnie is not in all
week long. We will not have the chairman of the
board to kick around, but we do have one of
the most impactful, I mean really kind of slumming it
as he is the great youngest, the best young Asian
play by playman in town.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And it's not even close, I mean right, not even close.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
And his unbelievable work with the Dodgers that will earn
him a ring in twenty twenty four. Of course, his
fellowship work coming up on February. Now, you know a
lot of sex talk in February.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
A lot of sex talk in February. He does can
get a little warm down there.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Men's Bible groups, Women's Bible groups, kids Bible's groups. Will
he become a preacher or a play by playman?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
And here we go, game on the line. Here, Mami Alba,

in school history.

Brown and Warren call's game.
Speaker 1 (06:25):

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Ye. How wonderful to have you now? How long did
you know, Colin that you were coming in?
Speaker 5 (06:37):
I knew, I would say, maybe a couple of weeks ago.
I got a Actually, Ronnie just told me in person.
He said, I need some help. I'm going on vacation.
You're the only guy left because Katie is is no
longer with us. So I am the man with the
Plan's not dead, no no standing. I am the last
man standing. Katie is not. Katie is still with us,
(06:58):
but she's just not here at the station anymore. She
moved to Orange County. So I'm the last guy to.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Play anybody that lives in Orange County.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Right, Matt, I mean across that bridge. I mean that's
like agabond crane. What's he going down there?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
That's crazy? Talk the cold sound like she moved to Bali. Well,
first to Orange County. She is no longer at the station.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And now she lives on a cruise ship or something.
Yet first no longer with us. It's like, well she died.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
She's doing stand up six nights a week for Norwegian
Cruise Lines.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
It's Katie the boardop everybody Monday through Friday here at
Norwegian Cruise Line.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Hey, how many of you ever have the board freeze
on you? You know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Hey, does Ronnie hide your stuff too? You know what
I'm saying?
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Right, So Ronnie gave it calling a heads up before
the holidays and we just found out Friday.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, what's up with that? Colin? How come?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Is that true?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Ronnie will tell you he never tells us anything.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
No, I probably should have said something, then, well you
would have. You probably should have said something, Colin?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Not you?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Hey have you been doing? Okay? Colin? How is your vacation.
You called some high school basketball these days? What are
you doing there now with fifty fifty Stephen?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Of course I love fifty to fifty Stephen. It was
a phenomenal vacation, great Christmas, awesome New Year's. Did some
basketball at the Classic at Damiens, so I've been having
a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Is fifty to fifty Stephen technically your boss? No, he's
just he's like the producer there with you. He's a producer.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
I will call out fifty to fifty Stephen though, because
at the Classic Damien and I love fifty fifty Amian.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Spartans, And well, here we go. This is what I'm
talking about, and I love fifty fifty Stephens.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Wait wait, wait wait, this is Greek news.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
This is Greek news.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
This is Greek news. And fifty to fifty Stephen was
at the Bjys in West Colvina where his mother was there. Oh,
we worked for embraced and showed holiday spirit and love
for each other. We had great fellowship, you know, Colin,
I know you're gonna appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Yes, I'm always up for great fellowship and.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
News that is Greek invented and with the first people
I might have to. I might have to tiptoe. Now
here's Petros Papa Donkeys.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
I'm gon have to tiptoe a little bit because I
am working with fifty to fifty Stephen.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Uh this Saturday?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Well what what? What is I mean?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
This is twenty five?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I mean usually Colin, you're such a turn the other
cheek time.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
You're right.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
No, I love I love fifty to fifty Stephen. But
I will say the classic a Damien. He forgot to
tell us our MIC's wrong. No, and nothing nothing bad
was said, Nothing bad was said.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Now I will I will give him this.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You didn't call a kid a dumb ass like that
modernay guy? Did you? No, dumb ass kid? Why isn't
he covering tighter? That's stupid ass.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I didn't do that.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
And my partner was Jeene Barnes and myself on the call,
and I will give Stephen.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I will say this for him.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Is that in the first game that we did, he said, Hey,
I'm gonna turn your mics on for the starting lineups.
I totally forgot that he was going to do that.
In the second game and he did that again. So
we had a full on conversation before the game I
watched it back and I was like, oh, thank goodness
that we didn't say anything too bad, although we were
giving our like predictions, like, oh, who do you think
(10:29):
is gonna win this game?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
So that was a little like unprofessional professional.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I've got audio of that here.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Actually, yeah, let's get.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
It pass intended for number eleven Tyler George an incomplete
cuddly markers down. Turn around you, dumb ass.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
All right.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I don't know why I'm calling a sixteen year old
a dumbass.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Oh my gosh, turn around you.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I mean, come on calling. You're gonna get in trouble
for that. It was rough.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
So I as much as I love fifty fifty Stephen,
you're very upset with him.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
I can you just let us know next time that
the mites are hot? Even though you are let us
know in the first game, I didn't say anything. I
didn't want to make it any dude, you can't do that.
I didn't want to make him feel bad.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
You know.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
It was it was right before New Year's He's awesome
job as.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Well, this is your livelihood. Okay, sometimes people have to
be put in their place.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Dumb ass, your career got ruined like that, modern day guy.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
You know, it's like you need to know the MIC's
always hot. So it was partially on me. It's like
you can't be talking. It's a good point talking while
while the starting lineups are being out. So it's a
little bit of both of us. I will say, just
next time, Stephen, you gotta let us know we're hot.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Dumb ass read it his eyes. I don't know why
I'm calling a sixteen year old a dumb ass.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
I don't either, but it's going to cost you your job, sir.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I lost my pa if I played job.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Can you imagine Colin blowing up, just the the benevolent,
sweethearted Colin ye.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Stephen good over here? Oh yeah, going crazy? Do you
realize it's the Colonelsin of media to not tell someone
the work. I'll tell you what that. Colin Yee's a
real calm, faithful man of God, but when he gets angry,
he becomes a savage. Career Well, you know, it's really interesting. Uh,
(12:35):
I've been glued to Twitter for like the last twenty
four hours and we're not I don't know, I just
I just love I don't know. My screen time is
just shut up? What's going on? I don't know Speak already,
what's happening. I'm watching Speak right now, and it looks
like even though they have Keyshawn Johnson, who's very very demonstrative,
(12:55):
you know, LA superstar, and Michael Irvin, the playmaker.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
King of demonstrability in media.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
And old Booty Shaken Paul Pierce, all three of those
guys are there on Speak, and of course Joy Taylor,
it just seems like more of a subdued show this
this week. For some reason.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
I though, well, you know, what the playoffs are starting.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
You don't want to freak out too much, right you
want to conserve your energy for divisional round championship week.
We got, you know, the college football playoffs Thursday and Friday. Yeah,
so you know, maybe you just want to, you know,
have a nice slow build. Let's just take it easy today,
a little bit more tomorrow, and then we'll maybe start
(13:38):
to normalize on Wednesday. Maybe by Thursday, we're gonna be
focused in on this, uh this college stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
And that's not the normal weekend.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
That's not the normal lineup on Speak either. I don't know,
I don't understand anyway, Uh yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Do like Michael Irvin with a sweater tied around his
neck though, that's it's a hell of a look. Yeah,
we're gonna be robo soil coach.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well, it looks like, you know how they have a
girl like a girl wears a sweatshirt and then she
has another one tied around her waist. Yes, and it's
kind of like, I know, you're just doing that to
cover your ass because otherwise, you know, why do you
need two sweatshirts? I mean, why won't you just let
people see your ass? Why are you wearing those yoga pants?
And Michael Irvin with the male version of that, he's
(14:21):
already got a sweater on yet he's second sweater, so
it would be very awkward to put that. I mean,
that other sweater is never going on?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Is it maybe like just doodling? Is it maybe a
scarf on a day rate? So I'm just gonna sit here,
but I ain't going Yeah, He's like, I'm just gonna
do it.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It's a long hour of television, you know. An hour
of TV is like four hours of radio. That is
a long hour of television. And not normally do we
watch FS one, but I gotta wait for the FCS College.
I watched it in years well, Matt, I work there
and I don't want these shows, but but around four o'clock,
(15:06):
I do want to check out the FCS playoffs. As
far as uh scandal talk, You're not gonna get any
from me, You vultures and jackals. I don't know what
the matter with you people. You people are like animals
and dogs and hyaenas nipping at the heels of well
healed and honorable people like myself.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
And let me just say this, and Matt many Smith,
then if you're not going to, I would just like
to make the statement. But I want to shout yaut.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Pee you are you're gonna shout me out?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I want you to know how proud I am. But
you know how proud am are you? You know it's
not It's not every day that a Greek American with
a cadaver bone in his foot right, and you know,
I was to host his own radio show, Breathing problems,
Breathing problems. It's not every day that that happens. And
for for people that think this, they think this is easy.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Not just a host, Matt, I don't just ask questions.
I'm an opinion.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
No, no, you are, you are an opinion shaper. I are
a someone who's going to deliver your opinion, not just
curate and pass you know, my opinion and Tim Kate's
opinion and Colin Yee's opinion about how a producer is
supposed to operate and let you know when the mics
are on and when they're not and just kind of
pass that that ball around.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
No, you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Provide yours, You're gonna share. I'm an insight and analysis
and that is really hard to do in twenty twenty
five as a Greek American with a cadaver bone in
his foot and appen, you're absolutely right, and a tongue
that's too big for his mouth that.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Hurts, so my foot hurts. My tongue rattling around against
my teeth is also very upsetting. Thanks for mentioning that.
But you know, at least I'm not wearing a sweater
with a sweater wrapped around my back. I do have
that going for me. I don't know how that goes
in the ward. Here's we're putting on you today. I've
noticed there's two sweaters in my dressing room. Yeah, you're
(17:04):
gonna wrap one around your neck and you're gonna put
the other one.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
On in wardrobe today. I've never been told to put
a sweater on over a sweater.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Hello, my name is Bruce and I'm in wardrobe now.
And this is Brad he'll be doing your hair.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
And Joe Taylor is is dressed like a school marm
for the first time ever. And then Keishawan and Paul
Pierce are dressed like they're in The Outsiders. They have
like matching coats. I don't get it. Do it for Johnny?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
So there you go. There's the uh, there's the analysis
you came for.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I don't know what people want me to say. You know,
I'm not I'm not telling tales out of school Matt.
That's not the type of person I am.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
It's not for me to say anything. I was neither here. Well,
I was here, I was not there.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I was there, but like Jimmy Cliff and the harder
they come, I was there, but I disappear. I like
the Keyshan's looking at his phone.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
He can't stop me, keeps looking down. He is doodled.
He's looked at his phone.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I gotta get out of here.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
It's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Hey Keyshaw you in town, Hey Keyshawn, you in town today. Yeah, why,
what's up?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
We're gonna use you today. You never used me unspeak.
You don't put me in place of I don't worry
about it. Put you on there though.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Where am I gonna sit? Am I gonna sit in
the the anchor man sitting?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Nope?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Now you're gonna sit in middle? Is that right? What's
my day rate?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Again?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Substantial and we'll double it today. Okay, I'll see you there.
But don't think I'm looking at my single I'm gonna
stare at my sheet of paper and doodle the whole time.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh matt uh. Somebody also wanted to chime in about
reasons to be proud of me. Oh, this comes from
the six to one nine. It says, don't forget the
myriad social anxiety problems. How hard it is people, a
giant cadaver, cloven hoofbone?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
What do you think it's easy? You think it's easy
to give your opinions in this social media commentary world
we currently live in.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Proud of you too, Matt. Oh. Thanks. You don't even
wash your hair and you're still pumping it out.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
It's not easy. People tell you you're stinky you're infected
with bacteria.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I did watch for the very first time in my life,
like ten fifteen minutes. Like I've seen clips on Twitter
and stuff, because he's always saying provocative things. But I did,
for the very first time in my life watch like
fifteen minutes of Jason Whitlock, Okay, on his on his
show class That's right.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Why what was the topic of the day that that
led you to tune in?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
He was talking about Fox Sports one Oh.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I was thinking to play and.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
It was interesting because you know, it became all about him,
you know, and I was left to sample those playthings,
and I was made clear to me that I could
use those playthings if I wanted was to put her
on my should.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Interesting angle, interesting angle to take the day.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I did not speak to the makeup people in such
a way because I was often cornered and people were
looking to corner me.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And for whatever reason, the man with the misshapen eye
and the teeth that are far too small for his
head seems to get off scott free on this one.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Well, there are no winners, Matt.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
There are none, poor Earl Watson. Yes, exactly right.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
We will return, like Jay, keep your disc what like
Jay keep your disc? What excuse me? Like Jay keep
your disc? Are you telling yourself to keep your distance?
Speaker 4 (21:00):
This is my inner dialogue right now.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
These women wanted me, they did. Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
I'm sorry?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Is that like the Mark Wahlberg internal narrative that if
he were on one of the nine to eleven flights,
he would have been able to storm the.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Can He was on the flight, Whitlock was on the fly,
And it's an interesting listen. You know, I never listened
to Fearless before, so that was, you know, for that
for a long period of time. And then the other guy,
Marcellus Wiley, who got pushed out apparently or allegedly he's
talking all crazy today? Is that right?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
How many memes are you watching? Fifty more and don't
forget about more.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Don't forget about close That gets you up to five
hundred or more?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Come on more Weird? Time to be alive.
Speaker 1 (21:50):

already wearing one. The Petrosi Buddy Show on seventy LA
Sports will be back with the top story of the day,

the top, sermon day Tom, Sorry of the day.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Of course, Jared Mayo got blown out. We'll call it
white Monday?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Can we call it white Monday?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Also had Tug Peterson got fired too.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
We got both in just the second time since they've
both been in Los Angeles. The first twenty eighteen, Rams
lost the Super Bowl to the Patriots. Chargers lost to
those same Patriots in New England in the divisional round
after a wild card victory in Baltimore over the Ravens.
So what are the chances we could have an All
LA Super Bowl down in New Orleans come the second
(24:00):
weekend in February. Well, considering three quarters of the Super
Bowls have one of the one seeds, Probably not great,
but at least as a wild card table, at least
the Rams have a home game.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
That's a good start.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
McVeigh versus hardball.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
The Chargers are in.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
The right sloppy that's what we're kind of. That's what
we're going to sell for now. It's happened seven to
The Chargers are in the right slot, the five. It
has happened seven times in league history, and five times
this century it has come from the five hole, which
makes sense. Chances are, if you're the top wild card,
(24:43):
maybe you're a better team than one or more of
the division winners. You were just blocked by a team
that was on a heater and ended up with the
best record in the league. Is the one seed forcing
you to have to win three road games? To get
to the super Bowl. Just happened four years ago, twenty
twenty Buccaneers with Tom Brady. As a matter of fact,
since they went to four divisions, not entirely that uncommon.
(25:04):
Since two thousand, like I said, five wild card teams
have made the super Bowl and won the Super Bowl.
So a quarter of the time, uh twenty five percent
success rate five s.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I believe. I believe our listeners, I mean, without worrying
about all the players and their dreams and their life
stories and Jim Harbaugh and his staff, I believe our
listeners would love to get on the Bolt's boat to
the super Bowl with the voice of the Bolts, Matt
Muddy Smith, and go on that journey with you.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Matt, I believe what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I believe that as a guy with a lisp and
a cadaver bone that shouldn't even be here. So proud
of you, I think that that's what the people want. Well,
there is precedent. They want to hear you be like
the top story of the day. Well they did it, Pete,
they did it. They're moving forward. They chargers moment.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
And I think you're coming. As much as you may
not want to you're gonna spend the week in New Orleans. Hell,
you're coming. The bolts are in and you are coming.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
The Aaron Rodgers Super Bowl title was his wild card
Eli Manning Giants who ruined Brady in the Patriots perfect season.
They were the wild card Big Ben Steelers that knocked
off Matt Hasselbeck Seahawks wild card and penalty it was
a holding penalty. The Trent Dilfer, perhaps greatest defense in
the history of the NFL. Ravens, who beat the Giants,
(26:28):
also a wild card. So while having the Chiefs chasing
a three peat and for all intents and purposes posting
a fifteen to one season, we won't count the disaster
that was yesterday resting everybody. A red carpet rolled out
for Denver to make it three AFC West teams to
punch their tickets into the turn a sidebar on that.
By the way, Yeah, they didn't rest their starters because
(26:49):
they're afraid of the Bengals. I mean, maybe they should
be a little bit, but then yeah, it's it's a
team that has been hammered by injuries all season Long's
chief and even though they already get a bye, they
just have the luxury of not having to risk anything
to keep the top spot. So while I am part
of those lamenting the exclusion of Joe Burrow, and I'd
have loved to have seen how tight Josh Allen's butthole
(27:12):
would have been with Burrow and the Bengals going to
Buffalo threatening to bounce them in a one and done
in front of their home crowd, and then maybe even
do the same to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. But too,
the Bengals didn't win enough games, go ten and seven
and not nine to eight, and don't lose four games
in excruciating fashion with miss field goals or drop passes
or defensive pi's on fourth and twenty. So you know,
(27:36):
Bo Nicks and the Broncos and Sean Payton, brilliant, brilliant
play caller, an all time great hang top top five. Meanwhile,
the Chargers, like the other five seed vikings.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Nobody had to call hr when Colin Cowherd was having
a top five hang with Peyton though.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yet I mean they took it off site, they took
it to Park City and that hot top with them Seagars.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Trying to say that was a smoking pull.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
The Chargers and the other five seed Vikings are both
road favorites. Should they be?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Vikings picked a pretty crappy time to play their worst
game and paid for it by having to come out
here to play a Monday night or at so far
against the Rams team that's playing some really good football,
started one and four, ripped off a nine and two
run after that, able to rest their guys in Week eighteen,
Sean McVay saying he valued the buy more than the seeding.
That's freaking big balls right there.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Man, Yeah, big balls.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
But gee knowing the four seed was taken on a
fourteen and three team that had played great football season long,
either the Vikings or Lions. When he made that decision,
of course, they played Sunday night, so he did not
know which of the two would be his opponent. But
I'm I'm gonna say it could not have worked out better.
A lot of people woke up this morning with a
lot of Sam Darnold slander, seeing ghost Bs missing layup
(28:52):
throws that he'd been making all year when the pressure
was on, and how the Vikings should have been up
at least two scores at the half were it not
for his not just sub are but seriously bad play
one for nine passing in gold to go situations. So
in the case of McVeigh, when you got a thirty
six year old quarterback who's got a bad back, and
if he's out, you have zero chance whatsoever, probably makes
(29:12):
sense to prioritize health, I guess. But after reading Bill
Plashke's glowing review of Sean mcvay's decision to sit everybody
and not care about what team he faced in the
first round of the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Did that bother you his glowing review?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Well, it didn't, because again, yeah, he sounds a little
bit like it did.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Matt sounds a little bit like it did.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Well, you're the football guy here.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I mean, it sounds like you might be so jealous
that you might offer somebody a million and a half
dollars to write a different column.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Let me run this by you.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Maybe there is a little chess being played by McVeigh.
Kevin O'Connell, former McVeigh lieutenant, runs the same system Arnold
athletic for sure, but he's not a running quarterback. Two
hundred yards and one score on the ground this year,
Josh Allen got the rams for eighty two yards and
three rushing touchdowns Kyler Murray for sixty yards on five carries.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
They fear the quarterback rush? Is that what you're trying
to say?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Both of those teams hung forty on the Rams. You
knock off the Vikings, and you get Jared Goff not
very mobile, and yes, a very good Lions offense, the
best offense in the NFL for sure.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
But Kelly Stafford, what are they gonna say to Kelly
if they have to go back to Detroit, She's gonna
have to hire a whole secret service detail.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
She's gonna be very uncomfortable with the praise that Jared
Goff is getting.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
The pocket passer.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Now, Jaden Daniels, you might call that Matt Before we
get into Jayden daniels rushing numbers. Because the Rams have
a tough time with rushing quarterbacks, you might want to
call that conversation. If the Staffords have to go back,
don't do it to Detroit A what. I don't think
that conversation would be very comfortable. In fact, I would
(31:08):
even call that an uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Conversation with a player's wife.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Jayden Daniels.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Eight hundred and ninety one rushing yards, six touchdowns, likely
followed by a Philadelphia team with the best defense in
the NFC and probably the league this year, a team
that McVeigh watched Saquon rush for two hundred and fifty
five yards at SOFI against them with one of the
best running quarterbacks in the game in Jalen Hurts, who
had fourteen rushing touchdowns this season and has been rested
(31:38):
these last two weeks getting ready for the playoffs. I
think you can make a pretty strong case that the
four over the three for the Rams and a path
of Vikings Lions versus Commanders Eagles might actually match up
better with them.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
So you think that Rams took a dive on purpose
and the Chiefs took a dive just to take a
dive because they're all beat up.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I'm not saying that he took a I'm just saying
that celeb I'm Here's all I'm saying it is. It
is in direct response to the tone of the article
from Bill plash Key, which was Sean McVay is a
I don't care who the opponent is exactly, and I
(32:20):
think it's more, Hey, if we win, fine will be
the three seed. If we lose. I could actually make
a case that it's maybe a better path for us.
So either way, I'd rather rest my guys because I'm
kind of good with either outcome. It doesn't matter to me.
And I can maybe defensively make a case that we're
more suited to go up against the pocket passer than
(32:42):
we are the running quarterback based on what we've seen
this year.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
It's by no means do I think he intentionally lost
the game. I think it was just so much value
on hell that he was very comfortable with being the
four seed and playing the Vikings potentially followed up by
the Lions or vice versa.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Well, let me ask you this, what's the opposite of comfortable?
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Uncomfortable? That's an uncomfortable right.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
They lose to the Vikings after resting his starters, he's
gonna have to have a very uncomfortable conversation with an
LA Times columnist.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
And stuck on neck out for you and cronky cru
damn it shut. I wrote a piece that celebrated you,
scud a.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Dollar, the bolts played, everybody, bring out the SHAMMI, let's go,
let's go, give me the bucket, give me the gloves.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
And when I say gloves.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
I want the ones that have like the uh the
sponges on the fingers to really wash the bolts.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Wash the bolts, keep score, wash bolt squeek clean.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
They gave up a garbage TD when Ap decided to
use his timeouts down twenty one to get a score
against the Chargers' backups. Didn't prevent him from finishing his
the league number one scoring defense seventeen points seven points
per game to the Eagles seventeen point eight points per game.
Justin Herbert is riding some serious momentum into the postseason.
His last ten quarters, beginning with the second half versus
(34:12):
the Broncos in the following two games against the Pats
and the Raiders, seventy four percent sixty eight to ninety two,
seven hundred and ninety four yards, seven touchdowns, zero interceptions,
ten rushes for ninety five yards. Lad McConkey became the
first rookie wide receiver to go for at least fifty
receiving yards in ten consecutive games, breaking obj's record. Finishes
(34:33):
as the second best or number one slot receiver in
most statistical categories, either just behind or just ahead of
Ceedee Lamb, and he was the ninth pass catcher taken
in the draft by Joe Harties and posted a rookie
year of eighty two catches, eleven hundred and forty nine
yards and seven touchdowns. It's the ninth receiver taken. Quentin
put on a show for the general manager that selected
(34:55):
him in the first round. Quinn took a lot of
incoming for doing so. Yeah, tom there is the gym
of the Raiders watching.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Like, oh, interesting time, We're gonna have Quintin Johnston on tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
That's right, hell of an effort. Thirteen catches, one hundred
and eighty six yards, the seventh best performance in Charger history,
as he was able to shake off a rough go
his rookie season for fifty five seven hundred and eleven
and eight touchdowns and put his best performance out in
Game seventeen. The defense gave up a total of thirty
three points in those same ten quarters, or on average,
(35:29):
just over twelve points per game. Ten of those points
were in the final seconds of a game where the
opponent had no chance in the case of the touchdown yesterday,
or very little chance in the case of the Broncos
field goal on Thursday Night Football that led to an
onside kick that are almost impossible to recover. Now with
the new rules, they're playing the best football then they
have all season. Derwin James has been in the conversation
as the best defender in football over this same stretch.
(35:52):
And now they head to Houston to take on a
Texans team that's struggled, really struggle on offense with all
the injuries they're dealing with. An offensive line has not
been able to protect CJ.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Stroud.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
He's been sacked fifty two times this year. He's thrown
twelve interceptions. Stefan Diggs and Tank Dell are both out
for the season with their injuries. He has not been
the same since they went down. They don't necessarily run
the ball that well. They don't score a lot of points,
and the Chargers defense is coming in with the number
one scoring defense in the league, so it doesn't match
up well for them. It's an offense that has struggled
(36:26):
in the Chargers to score a lot of points themselves
over the course of the season.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Only to you got to put that Jacksonville Jaguars trip
in the rear view, Matt. That's a whole different world now.
It's not going to happen this time, same Saturday. Different.
It's not going to take you to Houston to lose, Matt.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
No, that's not why you go to Houston. You don't
go to Houston to lose. You go to go to
Galveston and that's stankass water. That's why you go to Houston.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Well, break out of that funk.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
I'm working on that.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
The Chargers offense thankfully broke out of the funk against
the number one defense in the league and the Broncos.
They hung thirty four on them. They followed that up
with forty then took on a Raiders team that actually
had been playing, as Tim Kates can attest to, some
pretty good defense the last month, been one of the
five best defenses and a lot of metrics in the
league over the last month, and they got them for
thirty four. So they can manage to get a win
(37:15):
on the road in Houston. It's likely they'll head to
Kansas City for the third matchup against the Chiefs. First
two came down to a doink that went through for
a win by two points, and the first loss to
the Chiefs was a busted play for fifty four yards
seventeen to ten. They dropped that one. So Chiefs though
they figured out a way to win games all season.
Not taking anything away from them, I mean, obviously they
were freaking fifteen and one.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
But point is, it.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Appears as though this Chargers, this iteration of Chargers team
can hang with the Chiefs. They can trade punches, and
in the playoffs, if you can keep it a one
score game into the middle or the late fourth quarter,
anything can happen. Considering the stakes. And they have a
coach like Jim Harbaugh leading these guys who's done as
much winning as anyone out there and perhaps has has
(38:01):
planted those seeds of belief in this team that maybe
makes it feel like it could break out. It could
break the schedule pretty well in their favor by being
able to get that five and start this thing in
Houston instead of Baltimore or Buffalo. So it could be
a very exciting NFL postseason here in Tompy.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
It could Matt wash the Bolts, wash the Bolts in
the Briny. It's gonna be epic down in Houston.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
Matt LA's out.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
How far is Galveston from Houston.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
I gotta fight.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
I think it's just right off the coast, right.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Right off the coast. Yeah. Sure, it's a coastal town
right there, it's where's the Golden gate Bridge? Whyatt's right
over there. We'll be back with your how is your weekend?
Featuring Colin ye We'll do your word number song of
the day during Colin Yee. He might even send it
(39:02):
all the way out to break Matt. That's how good
he is. What I know, as you would call it
in your FM parlance, the lockout.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
I'm fifty miles Houston to Galveston.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
That's a little too far. I can't, in good art,
I can, in good conscience send you to the Old
Quarter where Town van Zant recorded a live album in Calveston.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Well, we are going a day early.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
That's pretty far, Matt. You're gonna be pissed. You were
pissed that you had to drive across Jacksonville to go
see a dinosaur.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
Yeah, I was. Well, it's because I took an uber.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Well that's not my first problem.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
To the middle of nowhere, and the guy wouldn't wait
for me.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Just to take a quick picture, just to.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Take a photo with a punk ass clay dinosaur.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
A dinosaur that wore the sash in victory after Jacksonville
sent the Chargers home with a loss that many argue
Brandon Staley never recovered fro him.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
I think that's that.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
We'll be back with how was your weekend? Not a
lot of smiles from her on the show today, Matt,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Oh there's one.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Oh wow, you know what time look at that. It's
a big thank you everybody for listening. We are flexed
back today. Somebody just sent it text like flex back
on the first show of the year. Uh, it's not
the first show. Matt and I were back last Thursday,
so you could podcast that stuff on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
You know how he You know how hard we work,
very do you have to put up with? You know
hard is to do this job. Very That's why I'm
so pleased we've had to overcome.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
That's why I'm proud of you, Matt.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
I'm proud of you.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Pe hold on, let me do a selfie Instagram video
to post how proud I am of you and how
everybody better bow down and respect you for over coming
on the obstacles.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Yes, I want to be preached to and talked down
to like I'm stupid. That's why I follow you on Twitter. Well,
we're happy to be with you, but we do have
a quick show. We'll we have a three to six
thirty tomorrow before the UCLA game, like Matt said, but
the Clippers are coming up early. But we do have
(41:21):
right now. How was your Weekend's do what I do?
The weekend is mine son, How was your weekend?
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Friday Night got started p Hennessy's The PBJ Trio played
PMS listeners. Silk and Missus Silk Jen came out. Uncle
Val great to see them, as did the Good Doctor
and Missus Good Doctor. And it turns out they discovered
that the Good Doctor's dad was Silk's orthodonist and as
(41:52):
he was a child and he had.
Speaker 4 (41:53):
Serious small one.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
You know, back then the braces were a real real issue,
tight in the and the wax and the rubber bands
and all that.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
It still totally sucks.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Yeah, but now you know, everybody gets the invisil line
kind of thing and you snap those plastic things in
your mouth.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
I don't know. My son had oral surgery and a
gigantic wire metal braces. Oh yeah, living the life here.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
Well, maybe he can do the same thing with his
braces that you did with yours as a favor to you,
repaying the favor that you did to your parents.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
I'm not going to relay the story, even though you
opened the door.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
I served all morning Saturday, and then I had to
do a little bit of spot maintenance, having a few
issues on that front, and I'm not entirely handy, so
they were like stickers all over the thing about electrocution,
and I decided, you know what, I'm just going to
call somebody to look at this. Spent time with with
Parker before she went back to Slow for the quarter,
(42:51):
and then flud Vegas. Had dinner at Pianos, highly recommended
if you've never been. They put our group right in
the bar in front of about six TVs to watch
the Cincinnati Pittsburgh game, and Sunday went to the stadium,
caught up with their old friend Tommy Telesco, hurt Kates
while I was taking a whiz, and got home around
eight pm yesterday after the Big Chargers victory, and did
(43:11):
the IG Live post game wrap up.
Speaker 4 (43:13):
That was my weekend.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
Kates is like Ronald McDonald miller. He's big in bathrooms.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
How did I do, Matt when you were taking a leak,
you were doing a scoreboard update.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
So you did great, Yeah, you did great.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Appreciate that Matt's got a good prostag.
Speaker 6 (43:28):
So't that maybe next time taking your phone out video it?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Oh, that would be sweet. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
So it's funny you say that, Kates. I had my
phone out and I was going to video, but everybody
had the same idea and was in there, and I was.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
Like, eh, everyone was like, my god, I want to
listen to Kates every of their phone out. I have
that with people.
Speaker 6 (43:48):
Friday night, guys got an early start to the weekend
by going out with my parents and my family to
dinner to Michelli's. Then we went and saw Wicked at
the Petatos Theater.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Girls Wanted with Arian Grande and her ribs out.
Speaker 6 (44:02):
That's the movie version of live version. This is the
live stage theater that has been in La forever. It's
come back now that the movie is out. It's very
popular again, no put intended. But the movie itself is
the first act. It's the first half of the move
of the stage production. So a lot of people when
they watch the stage production and the second half starts,
(44:22):
they're like, hey, I don't know anything.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
What is this?
Speaker 6 (44:23):
We've never seen this part because the movie hasn't gotten
there yet because part two doesn't come out until next Thanksgiving.
So that was fun and intermission people are like, so,
what's gonna happen here in the second act?
Speaker 1 (44:33):
We do? We know what's gonna happen to the witches.
They're gonna lose a lot of weight and get real weird.
Speaker 4 (44:38):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6 (44:40):
Saturday had UCLA Nebraska post game Sunday Raiders Chargers for
Compass Media Networks and got going on season two of
Squid Games. So I'm about three or four episodes into
season two of that showing what.
Speaker 4 (44:54):
Are You a weak?
Speaker 1 (44:55):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (44:55):
I'm two in man, I'm excited. It's very violent, it is.
Speaker 6 (44:58):
I like the storyline about how he goes back into
the game.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Spoiler alert. Just a week ass weekend, Kates, is it?
I mean it's wicked. Come on, wait till Colin he
blows you out of the water. I bet he had
a big orgy in a b jacuzzi with a dolphin.
Speaker 4 (45:12):
Colin, Colin, how's your weekend?
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (45:14):
It was amazing, jam packed weekend because our friend from
Oregon was back in town.
Speaker 4 (45:21):
N No no, no, no, he's a little bit cooler.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
His name Joris.
Speaker 5 (45:25):
His name's Joris, and uh yeah, he was back in town.
So we all hung out. We all just went to
go eat food and play some board games.
Speaker 4 (45:34):
We went to uh ad groom board game.
Speaker 5 (45:39):
Yeah, we actually so my friends they're big board game people, right,
And we played this board game called Neanderthal Poetry for Neanderthals.
And it's this game where you have to uh try
and guess a word and the person giving out the
guesses can only only use one syllable words. It's actually
pretty funny. And then yeah, we played a bunch of
(46:01):
escape rooms. We actually played, I believe this weekend. We
played Five Sounds very Christian, so it was super.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
Fun, and traveled the city and went to five escape
rooms in person. They were all in one area, the
Diloma Mall. Okay, oh yeah, right in Torrents. He's not Wow, no,
he's not Asian white guy, white guy, but the rest
of us are Asian. Well, Delamo, he's your one white friend, yes, yes,
(46:29):
And then we had a phenomenal night last night.
Speaker 5 (46:33):
Close to me, George, are you done yet? We have
breaking Dodgers. Oh my gosh, that's all. That's all Scape
Rooms fun with Joyce Petros. How was your weekend?
Speaker 6 (46:43):
I'm the According to multiple sources, the Dodgers have made
a trade with the Cincinnati Reds, sending Gavin Lux who
to Cincinnati. Do not know who it is for yet,
but Jeff Passing uh and Fabian Ardaya from Where's he from?
(47:04):
