(02:01):
It's like playing with my brother's kids.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
You need a new expression. You've been using that way
too long.

of bitches. It's like playing with my brother's cats. Come on, really,
I can't say that. Why are you?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Why are you out here?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Doc? Friends? I got lots of friends, all right, thank you, Tim.
That's not from the part of the movie that I
was referring. Anyway. There is Dodger Talk tonight because there's
been arbitration stuff with the Dodgers. David Massey is going
to join us. They did the Kartaia thing that is
something to concentrate on other than the devastating fires. Obviously,
(02:42):
in the city of the cu DoD we do have
information on the fires, but our information is generally just
critiques on the news and local leadership. If you want
the latest, go to kf I AM six forty as
we've been directing you the last few days. Those people
are tireless. They have been up for days and extra days,
(03:05):
twenty four hours a day bringing news and information to
the people. And AM radio very important in moments like this,
when people's power is out and things of that nature.
David Massey's power is out, so I think that is
why he is coming in today. But yes, Don McLain,
ladies and gentlemen, Don McLain the leading score in the
(03:27):
history of the PAC twelve. You see him on Fan Duel,
you see him on the Big ten Network. He loves
it at wearing snake on X He's got a pearl
Jam style flannel on today.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
You'd call this pearl Jam style.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Well, no, but in the context of the show Grunge,
Tim Kates had, I just still want people.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
To think I'm still living in the early nineties. No
wrong with that, Don, Well, that's true.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Tim Kates had tickets to a Pearl gram Jams show.
Who's going to go with his wife? And he went
out and bought a new flannel. Really, she bought it
for me. In like twenty sixteen, they're playing the Sports
Arena to.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Go just in case Venners spotted you.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I'm over here, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Close your eyes, Eddie. Do you recognize me from Dodger Talk?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
By the way, Don, I'm taking my wife to Nashville.
Oh god, in May really to see Pearl Jam at
the Bridgetonne Arena.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Really?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yes, The wife just went there for fiftieth birthday and
saw Dirk's Bentley at the nine.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Oh jez god, I've already just already lost.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
He puts on a great show, That's what I heard.
Oh sorry, I heard, Sorry, Pete.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Don McLane is here to mock you the listener like
a one legged coyote.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Does that mean we're taking calls today?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Wait? Maybe no, no, not with all this disaster.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, that's true, not with all.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
The disaster anyway. Don mcclan is here on your Southern
California Toyo Di Dina celebrity guest host microphone, and of
course Colin Yee is swinging swords like Shnobi in the
other room are a.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Lot more animated than Ronnie in that room over there.
Colin yee, yeah, he's.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Got he's a young man. He's full of energy. He's
full of energy and ambition. And you know, I heard
something kind of disturbing, you know, Okay, you can turn
this down now, please. Kate's is like rocking out in there,
like yeah, easy, Like stop paging through your yearbook while
you're listening to the Temple of the Have a great summer,
(05:35):
tim what's doing? Remember that night out behind finn Bars Jesus?
I mean, I don't ever want to get to the
park where you know, Eddie Vedder and Cornell are singing
at the same time.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
We're booking on Hungry at the same time, like doing.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
All the the screaming at the end like no, hey,
it's not supposed to go that far. And speaking of music,
I want to say this, I'm a little blown out.
I'm depressed. Now. Obviously I'm not in the front lines,
you know, handing out potato salad and stuff, but this
whole thing is deeply depressing for all of us. You know,
(06:19):
even if you're not directly affected. We all know people
who've lost their homes, and all know people who've been
displaced by God. A lot of people don't have power.
It's one of the biggest disasters we've seen in our
lifetimes in the history of the city. The scope of
it is really hard to wrap your arms around. And
I'm sure it's going to be months and months and
(06:39):
finger pointing years and years of recovery. Who knows if
we'll ever recover as a city. It's kind of hard
to watch the whole thing. But I'm a little tired,
don I'm a little fatigued, and I don't have the inspiration,
so to speak, like to put together like a twenty
song playlist for the show. And I've been doing that
(07:01):
the last couple of days because Ronnie's not here, and
you know, usually I do about, I don't know, over
a third of the music, and Ronnie does the rest.
And Colin is a really great music guy. Like Colin
does all the all the selection which is brilliant, and
(07:21):
theme selection and old songs, sometimes songs up to one
hundred years old.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
The Scouty Report says there's a big beach boy influence
in Colin Ye's that.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Is his favorite band, and the Beach Boys, you know,
production wise, you know they're the California or the West
Coast or the really the United States version of the Beatles, right,
a band that started out with teenage songs bab bah
lu Bab, I want to hold your hand, I want
to be in my Little Deuce Coop, and then they
(07:51):
ended up writing some of the most influential rock and
roll stuff of the twentieth century, if not the most
influential rock and roll stuff. Their answer to Sergeant Pepper's
Pet Sounds is a real kick in the nuts to
the British invasion, so we can all appreciate that. And
the Beach Boys are playing Beach Life in Redondo Beach. Yeah,
(08:11):
the Mike Love Beach Boys who and you know Mike
Love the Rolling Stalls are too chicken ass to go
on stage with the Beach Boys. But I had heard
like Colin when I texted him on Sunday, and of
course he didn't text me back till Monday, because Sunday
is the Lord's Day and Colin is very devout, very faithful.
(08:32):
And I texted Colin like, how much of the music
you want me to do? And basically he said all
of it. Now. This was before the city caught on fire,
and I was fatigued and uninspired. And today I asked him.
Kate's like, why doesn't Colin do any of the music?
Why won't he do any of the music? And you
know what, it really hurt my heart. And this happened
(08:54):
the other day when I called my friend John Hefner
I called half the other day to see if his
house was going to burn, called him and he was like,
did you mean to call me? I was like, what
am I that much of a weirdo? You know?
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That's heartbreaking? Did I mean to call you? Is that
what people think when they see me call? Uh?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
And Colin, I don't think that when you call. You
don't call very very rarely, usually a text.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, well, because I know that you just you know,
I mean, if I get a text from you, that's
like got more than six or seven words, we really
got something to talk.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But Kate said, much to my chagrin, don because you know,
I'm almost fifty years old, forty seven, some time for
some self reflection. Yeah, and Tim said, Colin is too afraid,
too too scared to play music on the Petrosen money
show of his own selection. Now, he did play well.
(09:46):
He played against the Wind on Tuesday as the song
of the day.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
That's not good.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Well, I mean you know, I mean it was. It
was a it wasn't Fire on the Mountain, but it
was anyway. He said that Colin was who is scared
to step up because he feared my retribution, my fire
and Brimstone on the air. And you know, I don't
feel like I'm that. I don't feel like I'm that
(10:13):
kind of task master. I'm not like James Brown with
his band that if you like hit a wrong note,
he fires you mid mid tour. That's not how I am. Yeah,
that's not how I am about music. You're very picky, petros.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Well, but I also calling, come on, man, you gotta
step up a little bit and be like, you know what,
p f u f you, buddy. I'm playing whatever I want.
If you don't like it, you can f off.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh yeah, let's go. I just respect your music taste
too much. Petros Right, you're the commissioner of music, all right,
Yeah he is that now, you know what, You're just
patronizing me and I will not be patriots.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
He's not patronizing you. It's intimidating working for you, Petros.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
You're not working for me. Nobody here works for me.
Nobody in my life has ever other than the guy
that comes and does my pool, Marios Martin. That's mister
Mario does my garden. Other than and I feel like
I kind of work for mister Mario. Uh and and
John John does my pool, John Shushard other than those people.
(11:14):
Those people work for me. I mean as as a
football analyst and a host of a radio show and yeah,
on the biggest radio cluster in the world, at the
biggest radio company in the world and podcast company in
the world. And don't feel like anybody works for me.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
No, no, when I come for you.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Well, that's disheartening because I do want to be like
you know, I want to be like.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
What I just told Colin, you can f off.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I want to be don almost like a not like
you work for me, but like a great coach. We're like, man,
I don't want to disappoint Petros, you know, like man,
if I go in there and Petro is disappointed, I
have so much respect for him.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
There may have been a small piece of that fifteen
years ago, but that ship is saled.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Speaking of ships, I don't know if the Clipper game
is going to go off or not. Saturday, the Clippers
are taking on the Hernits. The Hernits are in town
to take on the Lakers, and they bang that game.
They canceled that game or postponed it.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I would say this, Pete real quick on the heels
of what you just said. Yeah, I like coming in here.
I don't do it every day. I don't do it
every week, but when I do, we have fun. And
today it kind of feels like not the same. But
we should hopefully give people that are listening a diversion
from all this stuff because it's bad.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Man. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
I've lived here my whole life, as all of us have,
and there's been fires and there's been some structures lost,
but not like this. Yeah, it's awful.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
And back in the day when we played you know,
high school football stuff like that. In the nineties, we got.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
A new interrupting in West Hills. Oh, they awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
We had fires and we had ashes, raining down and
stuff in the early nineties with Malibu and we just
went and played. I mean, they just they didn't. They
wouldn't cancel stuff really because of air quality. I don't
really remember that happening really until the twenty first century.
And you know what happened in the West Coast games
(13:24):
in Oregon, if there were big wildfires or the state
of Washington. I remember that kind of thing. But that's
our function. I mean, we do. When you work in sports,
you know it is. It is the toy Department of
the world of information, great sports talk.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
You know what, Pee, We're not going to discuss any
of this. Just one thing that I just don't understand, again,
going back to having lived here my whole life, is
why all of a sudden we can't put these fires
out like it used to be. Fires came and if
a structure or two got lost, you'd be like, wow,
it must have been a really bad fire. And now
(14:01):
it's like whole cities are burning down.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, And there's all kinds of different allegations and all
kinds of stuff that needs to be sorted out, and
there's already conspiracy theories. And the problem is, I mean,
all of us lived through COVID and that was a
big It was not like, oh my god, the city's burning,
but there was certainly panic everywhere. And Matt and I
and Tim and Ronnie came in every single day during
(14:27):
that time. It was before we had we just didn't
do the shows from home. Then we we came in
every single day and there were no sporting events, so
we came in every single day. Did remember, Yeah, I
did three or four hours and talked. And that's the
part of it that I guess is kind of bumming
me out today. Is like driving into work today, nobody's
(14:49):
on the road. You come into work, nobody's in the
parking lot. You know, on a Thursday in this building
in twenty twenty five, twenty twenty four, the parking lots full.
People are back at work, and it feels like we're
back at square one. And I think you're right, And
I think that's kind of the problem is a lot
of the stuff we were told during COVID. You can
(15:10):
call me whatever you want and make fun of me
and say that I'm a psycho or politically backward or something,
but so much of the stuff that we were told
about COVID and what was going on at that time,
and they said, oh, you're a crazy conspiracy theorist, and
you're you're anti this and you're anti that. All that
stuff a lot of it turned out to be true,
(15:30):
and a lot of us felt really misled by that,
especially those of us with young kids. And the young
kids were set back back before, back back further back
than we were as kids. And you see their growth
has been stunted as people because of what happened. And
that's widespread all over the country. So to feel that
(15:51):
again here in town, this with the fires happening, and
you look to the leadership in the state and the city,
for God, and I don't think people feel a lot
of confidence right now in that regard.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
And and there's going to be a lot of people
pointing fingers.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
And there's always been fire started, and there's always been wind.
Why all of a sudden can't we put them out?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That's a great question. And I think, uh, that's going
to be hashed out in the weeks to come. I
don't I don't like it when somebody calls out one
of the I mean, these politicians get in front of
people too. They're supposed to get in front of people
to ease their minds and to bring confidence back into
the community. And I mean, if if the mayor can't
(16:33):
even do the theater part of it, and read the
statement and sound like like not like a fourth grader
reading a book report. Then that's that's not good. And
if I I'm sorry, you know, I'm not a political person,
but no, I mean you got to call that out
when you see that. It's very very disheartening. And and
so where does the confidence come from? Where where is
(16:55):
the leadership you know in town? And I just I
just don't know. And obviously the mayor has got to
be vulnerable right now because the guy that ran for
mayor is all over the place talking as Rick Caruso.
And I don't like when you ask a real question
like why is this the case? I'm sure there's an answer.
I mean, there's always an answer to be there's always
(17:16):
an answer for everything. So why is this the case?
Why is that the case? What is it about what
they said about, you know, clearing the forest all this
different stuff? And then the answer is, well, this isn't
the time for that, Okay, Well tell.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Me when it's win is.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
You know, you seem to have a great feel for
a photo op time with the governor. Literally, while the
fire was one zero percent contained, still totally active fire,
the Palisades is in the is in the process of
burning down and you're standing there doing a photo op.
Was that the time? When? When is the time to
(17:50):
hold you guys accountable for literally the whole city burning
down right now? If it's just the wind, tell us
it's just the wind, and that's what it is. But
I agreed, don I think there's a lot of frustration
for a lot of people all over the city.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Sad and frustrating at the same time.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
And you dealt with this very very I mean the
reason I mean we're having a more canned in conversation
I think. I mean, I don't want to speak for you,
but it's got to feel pretty eerie with what you
guys dealt with a few years back.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I mean, I was eighteen. It came right to our fence.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I'll never forget to see. And I mean, that's my
reference to all of this is, you know the video
you sent me and we never shared it or anything,
but you sent me a video of the fire and
you said one word, you said f you know, And
then you guys were leaving the house, you know, and
who knows if you were ever going to get back.
And we've seen those those stories perpetuate themselves over and
over again throughout the city, and it's just got to
(18:41):
be a terrible feeling.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
But you're right, you bring it up. This is the
last thing I'm going to say. In eighteen there were
a few houses in our area burned, Right, It wasn't
the whole city burned down. My house didn't burn down.
People next door, people in my street didn't. Their house
didn't burn down. Why, all of a sudden, is an
entire city of Pacific Palisades burning down.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, the whole thing. And I've had different texts from
different fire people that are, you know, on the ground,
people that are listeners, people that are I mean, and
I don't sit there and relay all the information, but
I have heard from multiple guys that our infrastructure is
suffering and that's a lot of the big reason why
they're not able to help everybody. And like I said
(19:25):
on the show the other day, I mean, it might
be just a time as a community to lock arms
and deal with some things yourself, because it doesn't feel
like help is coming as quickly as it normally would
or should here in town, given what's going on around town.
All Right, we will get back to sports. We will
(19:47):
talk a little bit about this throughout the day as
things continue to develop. But there's a new fire in
West Hills. It feels like, I mean, the Hollywood Hills
thing that started last night was just like really you know.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
And trying to figure out where this is West Hills.
Where in West Hills. We'll take a look at it.
There's a great Thousand Oaks boulevard that's not good.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
There's a great app that I've been directed to, you know,
and the news is directing everybody to it too, But
I was directed to it.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I was directed to it by some fire people, and
that is a watch duty. So it's a really good
app for following this and getting to know exactly what's
going on. Watch duty. Oh there you go, hold on
to here you go? Thank you calling does job?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Colin? Play whatever you want?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Colin, And I didn't post the playlist the last two nights,
you know, just because. But while we're sitting here, maybe
I'll ride it out and I'll post it on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Don it looks like it's a in the hills behind
West Hills, like Shamanad High School for reference, Like I'm
not saying it's right there, but that area in the
mountains behind it out the Bell Canyon out. Is that
by Lake Balboa?
Speaker 4 (21:03):
No, No, that's more West. It's like off of Mulholland
and Valley circlecle back all the way back North.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yes, copy that.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
And again I'm a big fire expert. As I revealed
on the show yesterday, I wrote the show backdraft. Remember
that movie. I wrote that movie for Kurt Well like
he consulted. I didn't expect you to know that he
was involved. That's pretty good. It's good movie. Thank you.
(21:37):
We'll be right back, Eric Allen. There's a lot of
movement with the Raiders. They fired Tom Telesco the day
before they fired Antonio Pierce. Are they going to hire
Pete Carroll? Are they going to hire Bill Belichick away
from North Carolina and make his son Steve their head coach?
And is Eric Allen ever gonna get him the Hall
of Fame? And is he satisfied with the wayars on
the State performed in the playoffs. We'll have more next.
(22:10):
Thanks for listening, everybody. It's Petro send money on a
Crunchy Groove Thursday. It's rough times in the city of
Los Angeles. You need the latest information on what's going on.
Check out our sister station KFI for all the latest,
and a good app for your phone is Watch Duty.
We'll tell you everything about going on with the fires.
(22:31):
A fireman told me that, and now I feel like
a real expert. Every five minutes I'm like, oh, still
zero percent. All right, back to the show. But joining
us right now on your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity
Hotline as there is a lot of news about your
Las Vegas Raiders, and Matt's not here today, so we
(22:53):
can really lean into the Raider fans here Silver and
Black area. He never left, joining us a Raider hero.
Also at Arizona State, Sun Devil got to be feeling
pretty good about the way the Forks represented this year.
Dillingham one of the most surprising college football seasons, perhaps
ever Yeah, eighty seven Rose Bowl champion with Arizona State.
(23:16):
That team would have beat Dillingham's Eric Allen run around
out there. He'd get scataboo down. Fourteen seasons of the NFL,
three time All Pro, six time Pro bowler, fifty four
career interceptions, Eagles Hall of Fame, finished his career wearing
silver and black. He's on Raider Radio. You see him
on All the Raider Digital Stuff, AMBI Award winner as
(23:38):
an analyst and a finalist for the Pro Football Hall
of Fame and Piercing Eyes, and he'd better get in
at Eric Allen six nine on X he joins us
on the Petrosen Money Show. What's Cracking?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Eric?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
How are you welcome to the show?
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Hey man? That was an amazing intro. I think I'm
gonna maybe hire you maybe to do uh you should.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Everybody says that, but I'm sitting here, bro. No one's
ever hired me as a hype man. I think I
gotta go down to Jamaica. Is the only time they
had the guy with the flag and you know, the
hype man guy that the screams alongside the celebrity.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Oh yeah, petros you are the best man. I listen
to you guys all the time, even when the Dodgers
are playing. And I know Kates is kind of going
back and forth on the text message when the Dodgers
are playing, but I listened to you guys all the time. Man,
you guys have a great show and I'm glad to
be a part of your show today.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
We appreciate you. Eric. Let's talk first. You know, I've
got to talk about Arizona State. They got the college
football Playoff going tonight. And I saw that team in
the first game of the year against Wyoming, and I
was surprised, you know that they blew out why and
Wyoming turned out not to be that good, but I
was surprised like the way they came out looking like that,
because I'd called a couple of their games the previous
(24:57):
year and it didn't look like that at all. Howie.
I mean, I know you got screwed on the targeting
call and all that, but man, what a year for
Arizona State. What a crazy boon for a great football
program that has been kind of a sleeping giant for
a long time.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
Yeah, I think that's the one thing that continues to
come out is just sleeping giant stuff. And I've never
really got into all that. It's about the production on
the football field, and you have to find a way
to get an identity and have that identity work for you.
And I think they really laid all their cards behind
(25:36):
that great running back and he did an amazing job
of carrying that football team to its highest points and
a long time. And was really happy to see how
he was able to kind of put the team on
his back and really follow through. You know, he had
that chip on his shoulder and it showed. And that's
kind of how they played the whole year. And it
(25:56):
was amazing how all these Pac twelve teams were able
to to this season when you know, the Pac twelve
one hundred years of great football was just kind of
put out in the garbage. They were able to contend
and being really big time games towards the end of
the season. It just shows you, you know, when you
don't have football people running the football part of it,
(26:18):
how a conference can go from being one of the
best that we've ever seen and having just amazing players
over the one hundred year history to basically be, you know,
a two team conference and all the other teams, you know,
I've been really productive. So I was happy to see,
you know, those Pac twelve teams fall out, but really
sad to see, like you and everyone else on the
(26:40):
West Coast see that the Pac twelve to Pac ten,
whatever you want to call it, was kind of just
taking apart.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Eric the Raiders obviously have parted ways with Antonio Pearser
coach and gim Tom telesco after one year, how much
of that was under performance and how much of that
could be Tom Brady's in the situation.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Now, Yeah, let's go back to last year at the
end of the season when Ap took over as interim coach.
Was totally different from the pieces we had as far
as upstairs and who were coaching the squad and the
Patriot group of guys. So he was totally different kind
of the players bought into his style, did a really
(27:24):
good job of developing players. As you saw the last
half of the season, players who came in were getting
better each and every week. You know, we saw Jack Jones,
who's from Los Angeles, make some huge plays against the
Chiefs and the Chargers. Some of these guys who were
on the football team really took to that style of
(27:45):
coaching that Ap was able to able to get going
later in the season, so you end up winning some
games at the end of the season. Had a good
conversation with our owner, was able to get the job.
They bring in Tom to LESCo this year, and I
think the first decision, the most important decision that was
(28:05):
made was going with Gardner Minshew opposed to aid to O'Connell.
And if you heard AP's press conference on Monday. He
said that was a mistake. He should have went with AOC,
and I thought so too, coming out of training camp.
If you have two guys who are even usually in
football kind of terms, you give the guy the job
(28:28):
who was there before. So I thought he had deserved it.
And AP has said he thought he made that wrong decision,
And I think that was huge as far as getting
into the season, changing our homes and coordinator going with
Scott Turner, and then the offense looking a little bit
better with Scott in AOC at the helm, but just
could not really recover from the injuries, from the lack
(28:51):
of consistency at the quarterback spot. And when you get
down to it, I think when everyone got back into
the building, Tom Brady I think called a game on
Sunday and the game wasn't over till sixty seven o'clock,
so he's not going to be able to fly into
Vegas on Sunday night. He probably got in Monday night
or Tuesday, and that's when all decisions were starting to
(29:12):
be made. So you get everybody in the building, you
start to think about foundational pieces, what the Raiders are
trying to accomplish and where they're trying to go. And
when you start checking out the boxes, I think the
heads that were like, let's kind of wipe the claim,
the slate clean and start over one over the day.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
The one and only Eric Allen joining us on the
Petros and Money Show. Don McClain is in. We were
longtime friends with Tom Tolesco Eric because of the Chargers,
and he would come on all the time, and it
seemed like he had a really good draft in his
first season with the Raiders. Brock Bowers is a star.
Three other of the draft picks ended up starting for
the team as the year went on, and he signed
(29:56):
Gardner though, and that didn't pan out. Is this really
about to Lasco or just a new direction?
Speaker 5 (30:04):
I you know, I had a great opportunity to talk
to Tom and a big fan of his. You know,
he got his start back in the Buffalo Bill days.
You know, he was kind of an assistant to the
assistant to the assistant guy. So he saw all those
great Buffalo Bill teams with Jim Kelly Thurman, Thomas, Andre Reid,
so many Hall of famers, so he kind of sat
in that environment. Went from there, went to the Coats
(30:27):
and again a great personnel department, guys, lots of Hall
of Famers, and then he gets to the Chargers, does
a really good job with the Chargers in their personnel.
One of the big reasons why Jim Harball this year
was able to come in change a couple of things,
but as success because he has a quarterback, he has
an officive line. So Tom, I thought, did a really
(30:47):
good job. I think this is the more of a
situation where the coach that's going to come in wants
to have and this is just me just kind of
looking at it from a big picture point of view.
Whoever comes in is head coach of the Raiders wants
someone that he's familiar with in the personnel department, so
when they start to evaluate, they're on the same page.
(31:08):
Not saying that Tom didn't do well because I think
the tight end he chose, I mean, Brockett's one of
the better players in the National Football League. I mean,
this guy is unbelievable. I think he did a really
good job with jpj out of Oregon come down to
play either guard or center, and then Glaze right tackle
is going to be a guy who's going to be
on the Raiders' roster. So he has put some pieces
(31:29):
together that are foundational for this football team going forward.
But I just think the head coach, whoever that's going
to be, is going to feel more comfortable with someone
who has the same type of building style and as
far as evaluation and development that he has. So I
think that was the bigger reason why Tom's not here.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
What do you think they'll do? Eric with the quarterback position?
You're in a division with Mahomes at Herbert bo Nicks.
Now it looks like he's pretty good. And do you
get it through the draft? Do you try and make
a trade? I mean, what direction you think they'll go?
Obviously the Raiders are going to have a high draft pick.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
Yeah, fix right now. And a lot of Raider fans
don't want to hear that because they wanted to be
at one or two obviously, you know. But when you
go into the building each and every week when we're there,
those coaches and players, as you guys know, you guys played,
there's no way that the players and coaches are thinking
about some rookies from next year who are going to
(32:24):
try and you know, maybe hope this team wins. So
they're all about preparing to win, and you get those
two games at the end of the season, but we
do the Raiders have to have a younger quarterback come
in and be the future of this football team. And
I'm not saying he's going to come in next year.
So maybe maybe there could be a free agent that
(32:44):
we get to kind of just holds the levee a
little bit until this young guy is able to develop
and steps in and becomes that guy. But for the
Raider fan base, you got to have a younger player
that we can all look to and say, this is
our guy, because the Chargers have one, the Broncos have one,
(33:05):
and the Cheams have maybe the best quarterback we've seen
in our league in a long long time. So each
and every week, guys, we're dealing with the coach who
has at least been to a super Bowl in our
division and a quarterback who's one of the best in
the league. So we have to find a way to
maybe get a legit free agent guy, maybe this year.
(33:25):
But I have the hope that that young guy is
on our roster, he's developing, and when he's ready to go,
he steps in and he's ready to take advantage of
all the things that we've been able to do to
build around that young man.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
You know, it is interesting because you know when you
were playing, like you mentioned where Telesco came up, and
you think of old Marv Levy, and you know, back
in the day, all the coaches were all old and gnarled,
and so many of the guys that get hired to
be NFL coaches now, you know, they look like JJ Reddick.
You know, they look like Lafleur. You know, they look
like they Yeah, all the young guys, yeah, Silicon Valley McVeigh,
(34:02):
their hairs all grease up, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
But the Raiders right now, I mean, the rumors are
that they might hire one of these old heads like
Belichick or Pete Carroll. What are your thoughts on that
old head versus young dude with all kinds of product
in his hair.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Oh yeah, yeah, Petros and you know what too. But
all of us guys, we understand what football is all about.
So if I rally off some names to you and
kind of what they did and what they accomplished, it's
really not about the coach per se. It's about what
his vision is.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Right.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
If we go back to the seventies, and we talked
about the Steelers and the Cowboys. They had great quarterbacks,
but they could run the ball too, and they had
a great defense. The eighties with the forty nine Ers
and all those great teams at the NFC East, they
had good quarterbacks, but they could run the ball and
play good defense. The Dallas Cowboys of the nineties and
the Green Bay Packers great quarterbacks, but they could run
the ball too. So whoever comes in here has to
(35:01):
have the foundation of being able to run the football,
play complimentary football, and have a quarterback that can get
you in and out of difficult situations. That's it. I mean,
over the course of forty years, the successful teams have
been able to do that. So a lot of these
young coaches are just branches from that great tree of competitive, versatile,
(35:28):
complimentary football guys. And that's what it is. That's what
it's about. So hopefully the Raiders are sitting down and saying,
here's what our foundation needs to be. Who can get
us there with two guys head coach and general manager.
Who can get us there all the other stuff, guys,
the run and shoot. We've seen that it didn't work.
We've seen a team that just wants to run the football.
(35:51):
That doesn't work. You've got to have complimentary football and
a coach and a GM who are married together who
can make it happen. And I'm excited that our owner
is able to keep on chopping. I know some people
are like, oh man, you keep keep chopping until you
get it right. I don't want a guy that's gonna
stay the same. I love the fact that our owner
keeps chopping at it, keeps chopping at it, and hopefully
(36:14):
this is the last chop and that tree is going
to go down.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Well, speaking of chopping down that tree, the Pro Football
Hall of Fame is coming up. And you know, look,
we all rooting. We are all rooting for you, and
the numbers speak for themselves. How often do you think
about Canton? How often does it enter your mind?
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Hey, Petrols the last couple of weeks, every day I
wake up, I'm looking at that. I'm looking at my
front porch waiting for that nock, Petrols, and one thing
I handle fell up your whole.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
The whole foer of your house. That guy's that size
of his head.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
I'm I got my eyes open, Petrols, and you guys
did a great job for me last year. And one
little thing I want to say is it's about context,
right and nowadays with analytics and everything. I played outside,
I played left, right, I played inside. Those are the
things that kind of set you apart when you're talking
(37:15):
about comparisons and things like that. And very rarely was
I a zone guy, Petros. I was about man to man,
getting in your face, and most importantly the ball skills Petros,
taking the ball and taking it to the house. Petro's
That's what it was all about for me. So hopefully
those guys who are going to vote in a couple
of days kind of understand that context.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
I learned about man and zone and college, and I
came to realize that if I was by some unfortunate thing,
if I was out there and they were in man,
I wasn't gonna get off the line of script. No,
you were to get choked right off the line of scripts.
Just get choked, like like Bart Simpson get choked by Homer.
The best of the best. Good luck with everything, Eric,
(37:54):
We're rooting for you, man, and God bless you.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
Yeah, I know you guys are man. Hopefully everybody savings
there with the fires man, take care.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Thank you, Eric the Great Eric Allen. What a prince
of a guy. Matt's what keeps us from having a
friendship with him because of the Raiders and the Chargers bitterness.
I don't want to be kept for my friends. That's
a hall of fame. Good Matt.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
You guys should have him on more often. Yeah, I
mean he likes me, you know, he's one of the few.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
You're right, can't be said for anybody else like I
love that guy. Why can't we have that guy? It
makes me feel better about myself because a great football player,
and he says my dad right.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
I get to work with the EA every weekend. He
is a great guy.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Aaron andrews, Eric, Oh, we'll be right back when more
great sports talk secret text to us are only around
up coming up, man, don't forget doctor talking seven. A
(38:58):
big thank you to Eric Alan a hero to the people,
and it should be and could be should be Hall
of Famer. Now, we still got a lot coming up.
The college football game is gonna start in like an
hour plus, and we're going to cover college football in
the next hour before the game starts. I'm gonna do
(39:20):
a college football Whip Around on. I know how much
you enjoy the college football Whip Around. I do. It's
one of your favorites. And then for the very first
time I believe ever, I think he was on as
a player, was he? Oh yeah, when he was Hard Chargers.
Manti tail really is going to join us, Yes, Manti Tayo.
(39:43):
He's an analyst, is he? Yeah? And I think he's
doing pretty good, isn't he. On he did the Netflix
NFL game.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
NFL Network as well daily on their Good Morning Football Show.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Okay, so he's getting up at like two in the
morning and doing that show on the West coast. Poor
mantic tale. Anyway, he's with Kyle Bran. Kyle Brandt draws
a lot of inspiration from the Petros and Money Show.
Oh yeah, so we'll have man Tito and a college
football whip around in the very next hour. And we
(40:19):
think David Vessey is going to join us, although that
is a fluid situation as things change around the city
and our thoughts and prayers. I gotta hate saying that,
but of course we are very very much monitoring what's
going on in the city and feel as helpless and
as stupid as everybody else Am six forty KFI has
(40:41):
all the latest information. Don and I are doing great
sports talk and trying to provide a little bit of
a respite or a diversionary kind of thing as we
just continue to sort of watch and monitor what's happening.
And you know, you just a couple of nights ago,
you just hope that that was the worst thing. Yeah,
(41:01):
And I mean, certainly it was the worst night as
far as conditions go for fighting fires. But it just
doesn't feel like it's going away.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
And I mean, I don't understand how these other ones
just keep popping up out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
It's flying members, arson, chemical weapons. Again.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
We have those helicopter guys are awesome. Yeah, we're watching
on the TV. These guys don't miss.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Now they drop dimes, and I guess that's some of
that is what we were missing on night one with
the wins. But crazy time, no doubt about it in
the city, and we are trying to sort through it
just like everybody else. So please be safe out there,
and if they tell you to evacuate, evacuate, all right.
(41:48):
We got some textosos the secret text doesn't line brought
to you by your sokel Toyota dealers. We make it easy.
Let's not forget tim Kaits the superhero who that lady
way back when he probably feels like one of the brave.
Are you familiar with this story, Dawn, I don't think so.
(42:08):
Kate's tell the story.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Don about five years ago pre covid. I want to say,
twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, the Burbank Hills, which we can
look out the window and see we're a blaze, and
it was fires right here. Yeah, and the fire came
over the hill.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
We sort of made fun of it and then it
was like became true.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Yeah, you guys were a holes about it.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Yeah, we were terrible. And the fires came the same
It was very incense the same area we were.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
At in the hills, and we had to evacuate, and
we had to evacuate at night time and get out
of there with two car loads worth the stuff. And
the girls were all younger. This is what five, six,
seven years ago, whatever it was. They're freaking out and
trying to get out of there. We went to my
brother in law's place and spent the night, and I
went back the next day and tried to get some
more stuff. Out of there, and I stuck through because
(42:55):
I know some people at the BPD. They let me
back up and coming back down the hill from where
we live, there was a woman and her dog just
lost in the smoke and trying to find out where
to go, and they were kind of just, you know, discombobulated.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
With Not all heroes wear capes, don true.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Some of them at the time were driving Colorado's Chevy
Colorado's like me, and I picked her up. I said,
you lost, I can help you. She didn't know where
she was going because of the smoke, and put her
in the truck of the dog and drove down to
the bottom of the hill and got her with some
first responders and on my way I went down. Awesome, dude,
I don't like to say I'm a hero, but hey,
just helping out people.
Speaker 4 (43:29):
I like you. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
They did just say that they think arson started the
Hollywood fire. Of course, why are there a lot of
hobos out there in the Hollywood area. Do you think
the dingy spider man from Hollywood and Island led it?
And oh look at that, Yeah, you're getting an alert.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
So I was calling you, they say.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Was a middle aged white guy male pattern baldness driving
a pickup scene shooting Margarita glasses minutes before hopped away
on stubs.
Speaker 4 (44:01):
Evacuation warning in your area.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
See, I just got one too, But I'm looking at
the window. I don't see any smoke in the Burbank Hills.
Speaker 4 (44:08):
Yeah, so this is.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
Probably a county wide thing, maybe because Colin just got
one too.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
I've been getting quite a few county anyway, So maybe
it's where you're at. Like, I'm not in Ventura County
right now.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
Yeah, I'm in Burbank and I've got not gotten an
evacuation notice. Maybe they don't want me to live.
Speaker 3 (44:25):
That's it exactly.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
It don't send one him. You know. It's like when
you go that one guy who's trying to go into
the building and his fob doesn't work anymore. You know,
everybody gets an evacuation order, but me, I could totally
see that happening here at work. Also, we had a
big argument about whether seawater was being scooped up in
(44:48):
the planes and dropped on the fires, or if it
was from Lake Castaac. And I guess what we've learned
is they kind of tried to avoid the sea water
because it's bad for the environment, like the saltwater. Know
it's going to corrode, right, Yeah, it's like now things
are burning down. We're desperate for water, but that's saltwater.
(45:09):
It's corrosive.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
But they were dropping seawater when the fire was really
out of control.
Speaker 4 (45:15):
I saw helicopters going into the Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
One.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
We have first hand account for multiple people here in
the building who heard us talking about it on the
ear and said no, no, no, I live in Santa Monica.
I literally watched them scoop it out of the water
there and fly over.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Well that's environmentally uncouth, guys. Yeah, okay, don't get mad
at me. I'm just hey, look, I'm just I got
the Textoso line, and I have to deal with everybody's
political furies. Secret text a.
Speaker 5 (45:43):
Fine brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
We make it easy. I got to deal with the
conspiracy theorists that think that it's chemical weapons from uh,
you know, some nefarious force that's doing this to us.
Henry Winkler is also a proponent of that fawn is
on that arson train. And I got to deal with
textosos that are very, very hector the whole protector when
(46:10):
it comes to protecting our local government, which I don't
feel like deserves any protection whatsoever. Fires are no fires
I do. I do not like local politicians. I've never
liked local politicians, and that goes back to my background
growing up and serving those people at my father's restaurant
and seeing what they're like when the sun goes down
(46:31):
and there's no social media. And that's just my own experience,
and I'm disgusted by the grand standing local politicians and
I'll never not be and I'll never apologize for feeling
that way. I'll never not feel that way. You know what,
all the local politicians reminded me of when the lights
turned out, doctor Buss. That's what all right?
Speaker 3 (46:53):
You guys mentioned the helicopter flyers out there right now?
How about the guys walking into the canyons and by
hand stopping them out? Just telling Dawn about that.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
I saw that happen once on Catalina Island, so big
ass fire in the isthmus and we thought it was
gonna be like Armageddon, and like one fire truck showed
up and a couple guys just stomped it out with
their boots. I couldn't believe it felt like kind of
a weenie watching those guys do that. You know, while
you're standing by watching the fire. These guys just show
up and stomp it out. Well, hang in there, everybody,
God bless you. Petrosen Money Show on the air on

Well, no, but in the context of the show Grunge,
Tim Kates had, I just still want people.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
To think I'm still living in the early nineties. No
wrong with that, Don, Well, that's true.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Tim Kates had tickets to a Pearl gram Jams show.
Who's going to go with his wife? And he went
out and bought a new flannel. Really, she bought it
for me. In like twenty sixteen, they're playing the Sports

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Close your eyes, Eddie. Do you recognize me from Dodger Talk?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
By the way, Don, I'm taking my wife to Nashville.
Oh god, in May really to see Pearl Jam at
the Bridgetonne Arena.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Really?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yes, The wife just went there for fiftieth birthday and
saw Dirk's Bentley at the nine.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Oh jez god, I've already just already lost.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
He puts on a great show, That's what I heard.
Oh sorry, I heard, Sorry, Pete.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Don McLane is here to mock you the listener like
a one legged coyote.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Does that mean we're taking calls today?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Wait? Maybe no, no, not with all this disaster.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, that's true, not with all.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
The disaster anyway. Don mcclan is here on your Southern
California Toyo Di Dina celebrity guest host microphone, and of
course Colin Yee is swinging swords like Shnobi in the
other room are a.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Lot more animated than Ronnie in that room over there.
Colin yee, yeah, he's.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Got he's a young man. He's full of energy. He's
full of energy and ambition. And you know, I heard
something kind of disturbing, you know, Okay, you can turn
this down now, please. Kate's is like rocking out in there,
like yeah, easy, Like stop paging through your yearbook while
you're listening to the Temple of the Have a great summer,
(05:35):
tim what's doing? Remember that night out behind finn Bars Jesus?
I mean, I don't ever want to get to the
park where you know, Eddie Vedder and Cornell are singing
at the same time.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
We're booking on Hungry at the same time, like doing.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
All the the screaming at the end like no, hey,
it's not supposed to go that far. And speaking of music,
I want to say this, I'm a little blown out.
I'm depressed. Now. Obviously I'm not in the front lines,
you know, handing out potato salad and stuff, but this
whole thing is deeply depressing for all of us. You know,
(06:19):
even if you're not directly affected. We all know people
who've lost their homes, and all know people who've been
displaced by God. A lot of people don't have power.
It's one of the biggest disasters we've seen in our
lifetimes in the history of the city. The scope of
it is really hard to wrap your arms around. And
I'm sure it's going to be months and months and
(06:39):
finger pointing years and years of recovery. Who knows if
we'll ever recover as a city. It's kind of hard
to watch the whole thing. But I'm a little tired,
don I'm a little fatigued, and I don't have the inspiration,
so to speak, like to put together like a twenty
song playlist for the show. And I've been doing that
(07:01):
the last couple of days because Ronnie's not here, and
you know, usually I do about, I don't know, over
a third of the music, and Ronnie does the rest.
And Colin is a really great music guy. Like Colin
does all the all the selection which is brilliant, and
(07:21):
theme selection and old songs, sometimes songs up to one
hundred years old.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
The Scouty Report says there's a big beach boy influence
in Colin Ye's that.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Is his favorite band, and the Beach Boys, you know,
production wise, you know they're the California or the West
Coast or the really the United States version of the Beatles, right,
a band that started out with teenage songs bab bah
lu Bab, I want to hold your hand, I want
to be in my Little Deuce Coop, and then they
(07:51):
ended up writing some of the most influential rock and
roll stuff of the twentieth century, if not the most
influential rock and roll stuff. Their answer to Sergeant Pepper's
Pet Sounds is a real kick in the nuts to
the British invasion, so we can all appreciate that. And
the Beach Boys are playing Beach Life in Redondo Beach. Yeah,
(08:11):
the Mike Love Beach Boys who and you know Mike
Love the Rolling Stalls are too chicken ass to go
on stage with the Beach Boys. But I had heard
like Colin when I texted him on Sunday, and of
course he didn't text me back till Monday, because Sunday
is the Lord's Day and Colin is very devout, very faithful.
(08:32):
And I texted Colin like, how much of the music
you want me to do? And basically he said all
of it. Now. This was before the city caught on fire,
and I was fatigued and uninspired. And today I asked him.
Kate's like, why doesn't Colin do any of the music?
Why won't he do any of the music? And you
know what, it really hurt my heart. And this happened
(08:54):
the other day when I called my friend John Hefner
I called half the other day to see if his
house was going to burn, called him and he was like,
did you mean to call me? I was like, what
am I that much of a weirdo? You know?
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That's heartbreaking? Did I mean to call you? Is that
what people think when they see me call? Uh?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
And Colin, I don't think that when you call. You
don't call very very rarely, usually a text.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, well, because I know that you just you know,
I mean, if I get a text from you, that's
like got more than six or seven words, we really
got something to talk.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But Kate said, much to my chagrin, don because you know,
I'm almost fifty years old, forty seven, some time for
some self reflection. Yeah, and Tim said, Colin is too afraid,
too too scared to play music on the Petrosen money
show of his own selection. Now, he did play well.
(09:46):
He played against the Wind on Tuesday as the song
of the day.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
That's not good.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Well, I mean you know, I mean it was. It
was a it wasn't Fire on the Mountain, but it
was anyway. He said that Colin was who is scared
to step up because he feared my retribution, my fire
and Brimstone on the air. And you know, I don't
feel like I'm that. I don't feel like I'm that
(10:13):
kind of task master. I'm not like James Brown with
his band that if you like hit a wrong note,
he fires you mid mid tour. That's not how I am. Yeah,
that's not how I am about music. You're very picky, petros.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Well, but I also calling, come on, man, you gotta
step up a little bit and be like, you know what,
p f u f you, buddy. I'm playing whatever I want.
If you don't like it, you can f off.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh yeah, let's go. I just respect your music taste
too much. Petros Right, you're the commissioner of music, all right,
Yeah he is that now, you know what, You're just
patronizing me and I will not be patriots.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
He's not patronizing you. It's intimidating working for you, Petros.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
You're not working for me. Nobody here works for me.
Nobody in my life has ever other than the guy
that comes and does my pool, Marios Martin. That's mister
Mario does my garden. Other than and I feel like
I kind of work for mister Mario. Uh and and
John John does my pool, John Shushard other than those people.
(11:14):
Those people work for me. I mean as as a
football analyst and a host of a radio show and yeah,
on the biggest radio cluster in the world, at the
biggest radio company in the world and podcast company in
the world. And don't feel like anybody works for me.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
No, no, when I come for you.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Well, that's disheartening because I do want to be like
you know, I want to be like.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
What I just told Colin, you can f off.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I want to be don almost like a not like
you work for me, but like a great coach. We're like, man,
I don't want to disappoint Petros, you know, like man,
if I go in there and Petro is disappointed, I
have so much respect for him.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
There may have been a small piece of that fifteen
years ago, but that ship is saled.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Speaking of ships, I don't know if the Clipper game
is going to go off or not. Saturday, the Clippers
are taking on the Hernits. The Hernits are in town
to take on the Lakers, and they bang that game.
They canceled that game or postponed it.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I would say this, Pete real quick on the heels
of what you just said. Yeah, I like coming in here.
I don't do it every day. I don't do it
every week, but when I do, we have fun. And
today it kind of feels like not the same. But
we should hopefully give people that are listening a diversion
from all this stuff because it's bad.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Man. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
I've lived here my whole life, as all of us have,
and there's been fires and there's been some structures lost,
but not like this. Yeah, it's awful.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
And back in the day when we played you know,
high school football stuff like that. In the nineties, we got.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
A new interrupting in West Hills. Oh, they awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
We had fires and we had ashes, raining down and
stuff in the early nineties with Malibu and we just
went and played. I mean, they just they didn't. They
wouldn't cancel stuff really because of air quality. I don't
really remember that happening really until the twenty first century.
And you know what happened in the West Coast games
(13:24):
in Oregon, if there were big wildfires or the state
of Washington. I remember that kind of thing. But that's
our function. I mean, we do. When you work in sports,
you know it is. It is the toy Department of
the world of information, great sports talk.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
You know what, Pee, We're not going to discuss any
of this. Just one thing that I just don't understand, again,
going back to having lived here my whole life, is
why all of a sudden we can't put these fires
out like it used to be. Fires came and if
a structure or two got lost, you'd be like, wow,
it must have been a really bad fire. And now
(14:01):
it's like whole cities are burning down.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, And there's all kinds of different allegations and all
kinds of stuff that needs to be sorted out, and
there's already conspiracy theories. And the problem is, I mean,
all of us lived through COVID and that was a
big It was not like, oh my god, the city's burning,
but there was certainly panic everywhere. And Matt and I
and Tim and Ronnie came in every single day during
(14:27):
that time. It was before we had we just didn't
do the shows from home. Then we we came in
every single day and there were no sporting events, so
we came in every single day. Did remember, Yeah, I
did three or four hours and talked. And that's the
part of it that I guess is kind of bumming
me out today. Is like driving into work today, nobody's
(14:49):
on the road. You come into work, nobody's in the
parking lot. You know, on a Thursday in this building
in twenty twenty five, twenty twenty four, the parking lots full.
People are back at work, and it feels like we're
back at square one. And I think you're right, And
I think that's kind of the problem is a lot
of the stuff we were told during COVID. You can
(15:10):
call me whatever you want and make fun of me
and say that I'm a psycho or politically backward or something,
but so much of the stuff that we were told
about COVID and what was going on at that time,
and they said, oh, you're a crazy conspiracy theorist, and
you're you're anti this and you're anti that. All that
stuff a lot of it turned out to be true,
(15:30):
and a lot of us felt really misled by that,
especially those of us with young kids. And the young
kids were set back back before, back back further back
than we were as kids. And you see their growth
has been stunted as people because of what happened. And
that's widespread all over the country. So to feel that
(15:51):
again here in town, this with the fires happening, and
you look to the leadership in the state and the city,
for God, and I don't think people feel a lot
of confidence right now in that regard.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
And and there's going to be a lot of people
pointing fingers.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
And there's always been fire started, and there's always been wind.
Why all of a sudden can't we put them out?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That's a great question. And I think, uh, that's going
to be hashed out in the weeks to come. I
don't I don't like it when somebody calls out one
of the I mean, these politicians get in front of
people too. They're supposed to get in front of people
to ease their minds and to bring confidence back into
the community. And I mean, if if the mayor can't
(16:33):
even do the theater part of it, and read the
statement and sound like like not like a fourth grader
reading a book report. Then that's that's not good. And
if I I'm sorry, you know, I'm not a political person,
but no, I mean you got to call that out
when you see that. It's very very disheartening. And and
so where does the confidence come from? Where where is
(16:55):
the leadership you know in town? And I just I
just don't know. And obviously the mayor has got to
be vulnerable right now because the guy that ran for
mayor is all over the place talking as Rick Caruso.
And I don't like when you ask a real question
like why is this the case? I'm sure there's an answer.
I mean, there's always an answer to be there's always
(17:16):
an answer for everything. So why is this the case?
Why is that the case? What is it about what
they said about, you know, clearing the forest all this
different stuff? And then the answer is, well, this isn't
the time for that, Okay, Well tell.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Me when it's win is.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
You know, you seem to have a great feel for
a photo op time with the governor. Literally, while the
fire was one zero percent contained, still totally active fire,
the Palisades is in the is in the process of
burning down and you're standing there doing a photo op.
Was that the time? When? When is the time to
(17:50):
hold you guys accountable for literally the whole city burning
down right now? If it's just the wind, tell us
it's just the wind, and that's what it is. But
I agreed, don I think there's a lot of frustration
for a lot of people all over the city.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Sad and frustrating at the same time.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
And you dealt with this very very I mean the
reason I mean we're having a more canned in conversation
I think. I mean, I don't want to speak for you,
but it's got to feel pretty eerie with what you
guys dealt with a few years back.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I mean, I was eighteen. It came right to our fence.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I'll never forget to see. And I mean, that's my
reference to all of this is, you know the video
you sent me and we never shared it or anything,
but you sent me a video of the fire and
you said one word, you said f you know, And
then you guys were leaving the house, you know, and
who knows if you were ever going to get back.
And we've seen those those stories perpetuate themselves over and
over again throughout the city, and it's just got to
(18:41):
be a terrible feeling.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
But you're right, you bring it up. This is the
last thing I'm going to say. In eighteen there were
a few houses in our area burned, Right, It wasn't
the whole city burned down. My house didn't burn down.
People next door, people in my street didn't. Their house
didn't burn down. Why, all of a sudden, is an
entire city of Pacific Palisades burning down.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, the whole thing. And I've had different texts from
different fire people that are, you know, on the ground,
people that are listeners, people that are I mean, and
I don't sit there and relay all the information, but
I have heard from multiple guys that our infrastructure is
suffering and that's a lot of the big reason why
they're not able to help everybody. And like I said
(19:25):
on the show the other day, I mean, it might
be just a time as a community to lock arms
and deal with some things yourself, because it doesn't feel
like help is coming as quickly as it normally would
or should here in town, given what's going on around town.
All Right, we will get back to sports. We will
(19:47):
talk a little bit about this throughout the day as
things continue to develop. But there's a new fire in
West Hills. It feels like, I mean, the Hollywood Hills
thing that started last night was just like really you know.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
And trying to figure out where this is West Hills.
Where in West Hills. We'll take a look at it.
There's a great Thousand Oaks boulevard that's not good.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
There's a great app that I've been directed to, you know,
and the news is directing everybody to it too, But
I was directed to it.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I was directed to it by some fire people, and
that is a watch duty. So it's a really good
app for following this and getting to know exactly what's
going on. Watch duty. Oh there you go, hold on
to here you go? Thank you calling does job?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Colin? Play whatever you want?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Colin, And I didn't post the playlist the last two nights,
you know, just because. But while we're sitting here, maybe
I'll ride it out and I'll post it on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Don it looks like it's a in the hills behind
West Hills, like Shamanad High School for reference, Like I'm
not saying it's right there, but that area in the
mountains behind it out the Bell Canyon out. Is that
by Lake Balboa?
Speaker 4 (21:03):
No, No, that's more West. It's like off of Mulholland
and Valley circlecle back all the way back North.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yes, copy that.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
And again I'm a big fire expert. As I revealed
on the show yesterday, I wrote the show backdraft. Remember
that movie. I wrote that movie for Kurt Well like
he consulted. I didn't expect you to know that he
was involved. That's pretty good. It's good movie. Thank you.
(21:37):
We'll be right back, Eric Allen. There's a lot of
movement with the Raiders. They fired Tom Telesco the day
before they fired Antonio Pierce. Are they going to hire
Pete Carroll? Are they going to hire Bill Belichick away
from North Carolina and make his son Steve their head coach?
And is Eric Allen ever gonna get him the Hall
of Fame? And is he satisfied with the wayars on
the State performed in the playoffs. We'll have more next.
(22:10):
Thanks for listening, everybody. It's Petro send money on a
Crunchy Groove Thursday. It's rough times in the city of
Los Angeles. You need the latest information on what's going on.
Check out our sister station KFI for all the latest,
and a good app for your phone is Watch Duty.
We'll tell you everything about going on with the fires.
(22:31):
A fireman told me that, and now I feel like
a real expert. Every five minutes I'm like, oh, still
zero percent. All right, back to the show. But joining
us right now on your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity
Hotline as there is a lot of news about your
Las Vegas Raiders, and Matt's not here today, so we
(22:53):
can really lean into the Raider fans here Silver and
Black area. He never left, joining us a Raider hero.
Also at Arizona State, Sun Devil got to be feeling
pretty good about the way the Forks represented this year.
Dillingham one of the most surprising college football seasons, perhaps
ever Yeah, eighty seven Rose Bowl champion with Arizona State.
(23:16):
That team would have beat Dillingham's Eric Allen run around
out there. He'd get scataboo down. Fourteen seasons of the NFL,
three time All Pro, six time Pro bowler, fifty four
career interceptions, Eagles Hall of Fame, finished his career wearing
silver and black. He's on Raider Radio. You see him
on All the Raider Digital Stuff, AMBI Award winner as
(23:38):
an analyst and a finalist for the Pro Football Hall
of Fame and Piercing Eyes, and he'd better get in
at Eric Allen six nine on X he joins us
on the Petrosen Money Show. What's Cracking?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Eric?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
How are you welcome to the show?
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Hey man? That was an amazing intro. I think I'm
gonna maybe hire you maybe to do uh you should.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Everybody says that, but I'm sitting here, bro. No one's
ever hired me as a hype man. I think I
gotta go down to Jamaica. Is the only time they
had the guy with the flag and you know, the
hype man guy that the screams alongside the celebrity.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Oh yeah, petros you are the best man. I listen
to you guys all the time, even when the Dodgers
are playing. And I know Kates is kind of going
back and forth on the text message when the Dodgers
are playing, but I listened to you guys all the time. Man,
you guys have a great show and I'm glad to
be a part of your show today.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
We appreciate you. Eric. Let's talk first. You know, I've
got to talk about Arizona State. They got the college
football Playoff going tonight. And I saw that team in
the first game of the year against Wyoming, and I
was surprised, you know that they blew out why and
Wyoming turned out not to be that good, but I
was surprised like the way they came out looking like that,
because I'd called a couple of their games the previous
(24:57):
year and it didn't look like that at all. Howie.
I mean, I know you got screwed on the targeting
call and all that, but man, what a year for
Arizona State. What a crazy boon for a great football
program that has been kind of a sleeping giant for
a long time.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
Yeah, I think that's the one thing that continues to
come out is just sleeping giant stuff. And I've never
really got into all that. It's about the production on
the football field, and you have to find a way
to get an identity and have that identity work for you.
And I think they really laid all their cards behind
(25:36):
that great running back and he did an amazing job
of carrying that football team to its highest points and
a long time. And was really happy to see how
he was able to kind of put the team on
his back and really follow through. You know, he had
that chip on his shoulder and it showed. And that's
kind of how they played the whole year. And it
(25:56):
was amazing how all these Pac twelve teams were able
to to this season when you know, the Pac twelve
one hundred years of great football was just kind of
put out in the garbage. They were able to contend
and being really big time games towards the end of
the season. It just shows you, you know, when you
don't have football people running the football part of it,
(26:18):
how a conference can go from being one of the
best that we've ever seen and having just amazing players
over the one hundred year history to basically be, you know,
a two team conference and all the other teams, you know,
I've been really productive. So I was happy to see,
you know, those Pac twelve teams fall out, but really
sad to see, like you and everyone else on the
(26:40):
West Coast see that the Pac twelve to Pac ten,
whatever you want to call it, was kind of just
taking apart.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Eric the Raiders obviously have parted ways with Antonio Pearser
coach and gim Tom telesco after one year, how much
of that was under performance and how much of that
could be Tom Brady's in the situation.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Now, Yeah, let's go back to last year at the
end of the season when Ap took over as interim coach.
Was totally different from the pieces we had as far
as upstairs and who were coaching the squad and the
Patriot group of guys. So he was totally different kind
of the players bought into his style, did a really
(27:24):
good job of developing players. As you saw the last
half of the season, players who came in were getting
better each and every week. You know, we saw Jack Jones,
who's from Los Angeles, make some huge plays against the
Chiefs and the Chargers. Some of these guys who were
on the football team really took to that style of
(27:45):
coaching that Ap was able to able to get going
later in the season, so you end up winning some
games at the end of the season. Had a good
conversation with our owner, was able to get the job.
They bring in Tom to LESCo this year, and I
think the first decision, the most important decision that was
(28:05):
made was going with Gardner Minshew opposed to aid to O'Connell.
And if you heard AP's press conference on Monday. He
said that was a mistake. He should have went with AOC,
and I thought so too, coming out of training camp.
If you have two guys who are even usually in
football kind of terms, you give the guy the job
(28:28):
who was there before. So I thought he had deserved it.
And AP has said he thought he made that wrong decision,
And I think that was huge as far as getting
into the season, changing our homes and coordinator going with
Scott Turner, and then the offense looking a little bit
better with Scott in AOC at the helm, but just
could not really recover from the injuries, from the lack
(28:51):
of consistency at the quarterback spot. And when you get
down to it, I think when everyone got back into
the building, Tom Brady I think called a game on
Sunday and the game wasn't over till sixty seven o'clock,
so he's not going to be able to fly into
Vegas on Sunday night. He probably got in Monday night
or Tuesday, and that's when all decisions were starting to
(29:12):
be made. So you get everybody in the building, you
start to think about foundational pieces, what the Raiders are
trying to accomplish and where they're trying to go. And
when you start checking out the boxes, I think the
heads that were like, let's kind of wipe the claim,
the slate clean and start over one over the day.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
The one and only Eric Allen joining us on the
Petros and Money Show. Don McClain is in. We were
longtime friends with Tom Tolesco Eric because of the Chargers,
and he would come on all the time, and it
seemed like he had a really good draft in his
first season with the Raiders. Brock Bowers is a star.
Three other of the draft picks ended up starting for
the team as the year went on, and he signed
(29:56):
Gardner though, and that didn't pan out. Is this really
about to Lasco or just a new direction?
Speaker 5 (30:04):
I you know, I had a great opportunity to talk
to Tom and a big fan of his. You know,
he got his start back in the Buffalo Bill days.
You know, he was kind of an assistant to the
assistant to the assistant guy. So he saw all those
great Buffalo Bill teams with Jim Kelly Thurman, Thomas, Andre Reid,
so many Hall of famers, so he kind of sat
in that environment. Went from there, went to the Coats
(30:27):
and again a great personnel department, guys, lots of Hall
of Famers, and then he gets to the Chargers, does
a really good job with the Chargers in their personnel.
One of the big reasons why Jim Harball this year
was able to come in change a couple of things,
but as success because he has a quarterback, he has
an officive line. So Tom, I thought, did a really
(30:47):
good job. I think this is the more of a
situation where the coach that's going to come in wants
to have and this is just me just kind of
looking at it from a big picture point of view.
Whoever comes in is head coach of the Raiders wants
someone that he's familiar with in the personnel department, so
when they start to evaluate, they're on the same page.
(31:08):
Not saying that Tom didn't do well because I think
the tight end he chose, I mean, Brockett's one of
the better players in the National Football League. I mean,
this guy is unbelievable. I think he did a really
good job with jpj out of Oregon come down to
play either guard or center, and then Glaze right tackle
is going to be a guy who's going to be
on the Raiders' roster. So he has put some pieces
(31:29):
together that are foundational for this football team going forward.
But I just think the head coach, whoever that's going
to be, is going to feel more comfortable with someone
who has the same type of building style and as
far as evaluation and development that he has. So I
think that was the bigger reason why Tom's not here.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
What do you think they'll do? Eric with the quarterback position?
You're in a division with Mahomes at Herbert bo Nicks.
Now it looks like he's pretty good. And do you
get it through the draft? Do you try and make
a trade? I mean, what direction you think they'll go?
Obviously the Raiders are going to have a high draft pick.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
Yeah, fix right now. And a lot of Raider fans
don't want to hear that because they wanted to be
at one or two obviously, you know. But when you
go into the building each and every week when we're there,
those coaches and players, as you guys know, you guys played,
there's no way that the players and coaches are thinking
about some rookies from next year who are going to
(32:24):
try and you know, maybe hope this team wins. So
they're all about preparing to win, and you get those
two games at the end of the season, but we
do the Raiders have to have a younger quarterback come
in and be the future of this football team. And
I'm not saying he's going to come in next year.
So maybe maybe there could be a free agent that
(32:44):
we get to kind of just holds the levee a
little bit until this young guy is able to develop
and steps in and becomes that guy. But for the
Raider fan base, you got to have a younger player
that we can all look to and say, this is
our guy, because the Chargers have one, the Broncos have one,
(33:05):
and the Cheams have maybe the best quarterback we've seen
in our league in a long long time. So each
and every week, guys, we're dealing with the coach who
has at least been to a super Bowl in our
division and a quarterback who's one of the best in
the league. So we have to find a way to
maybe get a legit free agent guy, maybe this year.
(33:25):
But I have the hope that that young guy is
on our roster, he's developing, and when he's ready to go,
he steps in and he's ready to take advantage of
all the things that we've been able to do to
build around that young man.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
You know, it is interesting because you know when you
were playing, like you mentioned where Telesco came up, and
you think of old Marv Levy, and you know, back
in the day, all the coaches were all old and gnarled,
and so many of the guys that get hired to
be NFL coaches now, you know, they look like JJ Reddick.
You know, they look like Lafleur. You know, they look
like they Yeah, all the young guys, yeah, Silicon Valley McVeigh,
(34:02):
their hairs all grease up, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
But the Raiders right now, I mean, the rumors are
that they might hire one of these old heads like
Belichick or Pete Carroll. What are your thoughts on that
old head versus young dude with all kinds of product
in his hair.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Oh yeah, yeah, Petros and you know what too. But
all of us guys, we understand what football is all about.
So if I rally off some names to you and
kind of what they did and what they accomplished, it's
really not about the coach per se. It's about what
his vision is.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Right.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
If we go back to the seventies, and we talked
about the Steelers and the Cowboys. They had great quarterbacks,
but they could run the ball too, and they had
a great defense. The eighties with the forty nine Ers
and all those great teams at the NFC East, they
had good quarterbacks, but they could run the ball and
play good defense. The Dallas Cowboys of the nineties and
the Green Bay Packers great quarterbacks, but they could run
the ball too. So whoever comes in here has to
(35:01):
have the foundation of being able to run the football,
play complimentary football, and have a quarterback that can get
you in and out of difficult situations. That's it. I mean,
over the course of forty years, the successful teams have
been able to do that. So a lot of these
young coaches are just branches from that great tree of competitive, versatile,
(35:28):
complimentary football guys. And that's what it is. That's what
it's about. So hopefully the Raiders are sitting down and saying,
here's what our foundation needs to be. Who can get
us there with two guys head coach and general manager.
Who can get us there all the other stuff, guys,
the run and shoot. We've seen that it didn't work.
We've seen a team that just wants to run the football.
(35:51):
That doesn't work. You've got to have complimentary football and
a coach and a GM who are married together who
can make it happen. And I'm excited that our owner
is able to keep on chopping. I know some people
are like, oh man, you keep keep chopping until you
get it right. I don't want a guy that's gonna
stay the same. I love the fact that our owner
keeps chopping at it, keeps chopping at it, and hopefully
(36:14):
this is the last chop and that tree is going
to go down.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Well, speaking of chopping down that tree, the Pro Football
Hall of Fame is coming up. And you know, look,
we all rooting. We are all rooting for you, and
the numbers speak for themselves. How often do you think
about Canton? How often does it enter your mind?
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Hey, Petrols the last couple of weeks, every day I
wake up, I'm looking at that. I'm looking at my
front porch waiting for that nock, Petrols, and one thing
I handle fell up your whole.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
The whole foer of your house. That guy's that size
of his head.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
I'm I got my eyes open, Petrols, and you guys
did a great job for me last year. And one
little thing I want to say is it's about context,
right and nowadays with analytics and everything. I played outside,
I played left, right, I played inside. Those are the
things that kind of set you apart when you're talking
(37:15):
about comparisons and things like that. And very rarely was
I a zone guy, Petros. I was about man to man,
getting in your face, and most importantly the ball skills Petros,
taking the ball and taking it to the house. Petro's
That's what it was all about for me. So hopefully
those guys who are going to vote in a couple
of days kind of understand that context.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
I learned about man and zone and college, and I
came to realize that if I was by some unfortunate thing,
if I was out there and they were in man,
I wasn't gonna get off the line of script. No,
you were to get choked right off the line of scripts.
Just get choked, like like Bart Simpson get choked by Homer.
The best of the best. Good luck with everything, Eric,
(37:54):
We're rooting for you, man, and God bless you.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
Yeah, I know you guys are man. Hopefully everybody savings
there with the fires man, take care.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Thank you, Eric the Great Eric Allen. What a prince
of a guy. Matt's what keeps us from having a
friendship with him because of the Raiders and the Chargers bitterness.
I don't want to be kept for my friends. That's
a hall of fame. Good Matt.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
You guys should have him on more often. Yeah, I
mean he likes me, you know, he's one of the few.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
You're right, can't be said for anybody else like I
love that guy. Why can't we have that guy? It
makes me feel better about myself because a great football player,
and he says my dad right.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
I get to work with the EA every weekend. He
is a great guy.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Aaron andrews, Eric, Oh, we'll be right back when more
great sports talk secret text to us are only around
up coming up, man, don't forget doctor talking seven. A
(38:58):
big thank you to Eric Alan a hero to the people,
and it should be and could be should be Hall
of Famer. Now, we still got a lot coming up.
The college football game is gonna start in like an
hour plus, and we're going to cover college football in
the next hour before the game starts. I'm gonna do
(39:20):
a college football Whip Around on. I know how much
you enjoy the college football Whip Around. I do. It's
one of your favorites. And then for the very first
time I believe ever, I think he was on as
a player, was he? Oh yeah, when he was Hard Chargers.
Manti tail really is going to join us, Yes, Manti Tayo.
(39:43):
He's an analyst, is he? Yeah? And I think he's
doing pretty good, isn't he. On he did the Netflix
NFL game.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
NFL Network as well daily on their Good Morning Football Show.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Okay, so he's getting up at like two in the
morning and doing that show on the West coast. Poor
mantic tale. Anyway, he's with Kyle Bran. Kyle Brandt draws
a lot of inspiration from the Petros and Money Show.
Oh yeah, so we'll have man Tito and a college
football whip around in the very next hour. And we
(40:19):
think David Vessey is going to join us, although that
is a fluid situation as things change around the city
and our thoughts and prayers. I gotta hate saying that,
but of course we are very very much monitoring what's
going on in the city and feel as helpless and
as stupid as everybody else Am six forty KFI has
(40:41):
all the latest information. Don and I are doing great
sports talk and trying to provide a little bit of
a respite or a diversionary kind of thing as we
just continue to sort of watch and monitor what's happening.
And you know, you just a couple of nights ago,
you just hope that that was the worst thing. Yeah,
(41:01):
And I mean, certainly it was the worst night as
far as conditions go for fighting fires. But it just
doesn't feel like it's going away.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
And I mean, I don't understand how these other ones
just keep popping up out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
It's flying members, arson, chemical weapons. Again.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
We have those helicopter guys are awesome. Yeah, we're watching
on the TV. These guys don't miss.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Now they drop dimes, and I guess that's some of
that is what we were missing on night one with
the wins. But crazy time, no doubt about it in
the city, and we are trying to sort through it
just like everybody else. So please be safe out there,
and if they tell you to evacuate, evacuate, all right.
(41:48):
We got some textosos the secret text doesn't line brought
to you by your sokel Toyota dealers. We make it easy.
Let's not forget tim Kaits the superhero who that lady
way back when he probably feels like one of the brave.
Are you familiar with this story, Dawn, I don't think so.
(42:08):
Kate's tell the story.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Don about five years ago pre covid. I want to say,
twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, the Burbank Hills, which we can
look out the window and see we're a blaze, and
it was fires right here. Yeah, and the fire came
over the hill.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
We sort of made fun of it and then it
was like became true.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Yeah, you guys were a holes about it.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Yeah, we were terrible. And the fires came the same
It was very incense the same area we were.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
At in the hills, and we had to evacuate, and
we had to evacuate at night time and get out
of there with two car loads worth the stuff. And
the girls were all younger. This is what five, six,
seven years ago, whatever it was. They're freaking out and
trying to get out of there. We went to my
brother in law's place and spent the night, and I
went back the next day and tried to get some
more stuff. Out of there, and I stuck through because
(42:55):
I know some people at the BPD. They let me
back up and coming back down the hill from where
we live, there was a woman and her dog just
lost in the smoke and trying to find out where
to go, and they were kind of just, you know, discombobulated.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
With Not all heroes wear capes, don true.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Some of them at the time were driving Colorado's Chevy
Colorado's like me, and I picked her up. I said,
you lost, I can help you. She didn't know where
she was going because of the smoke, and put her
in the truck of the dog and drove down to
the bottom of the hill and got her with some
first responders and on my way I went down. Awesome, dude,
I don't like to say I'm a hero, but hey,
just helping out people.
Speaker 4 (43:29):
I like you. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
They did just say that they think arson started the
Hollywood fire. Of course, why are there a lot of
hobos out there in the Hollywood area. Do you think
the dingy spider man from Hollywood and Island led it?
And oh look at that, Yeah, you're getting an alert.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
So I was calling you, they say.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Was a middle aged white guy male pattern baldness driving
a pickup scene shooting Margarita glasses minutes before hopped away
on stubs.
Speaker 4 (44:01):
Evacuation warning in your area.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
See, I just got one too, But I'm looking at
the window. I don't see any smoke in the Burbank Hills.
Speaker 4 (44:08):
Yeah, so this is.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
Probably a county wide thing, maybe because Colin just got
one too.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
I've been getting quite a few county anyway, So maybe
it's where you're at. Like, I'm not in Ventura County
right now.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
Yeah, I'm in Burbank and I've got not gotten an
evacuation notice. Maybe they don't want me to live.
Speaker 3 (44:25):
That's it exactly.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
It don't send one him. You know. It's like when
you go that one guy who's trying to go into
the building and his fob doesn't work anymore. You know,
everybody gets an evacuation order, but me, I could totally
see that happening here at work. Also, we had a
big argument about whether seawater was being scooped up in
(44:48):
the planes and dropped on the fires, or if it
was from Lake Castaac. And I guess what we've learned
is they kind of tried to avoid the sea water
because it's bad for the environment, like the saltwater. Know
it's going to corrode, right, Yeah, it's like now things
are burning down. We're desperate for water, but that's saltwater.
(45:09):
It's corrosive.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
But they were dropping seawater when the fire was really
out of control.
Speaker 4 (45:15):
I saw helicopters going into the Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
One.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
We have first hand account for multiple people here in
the building who heard us talking about it on the
ear and said no, no, no, I live in Santa Monica.
I literally watched them scoop it out of the water
there and fly over.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Well that's environmentally uncouth, guys. Yeah, okay, don't get mad
at me. I'm just hey, look, I'm just I got
the Textoso line, and I have to deal with everybody's
political furies. Secret text a.
Speaker 5 (45:43):
Fine brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
We make it easy. I got to deal with the
conspiracy theorists that think that it's chemical weapons from uh,
you know, some nefarious force that's doing this to us.
Henry Winkler is also a proponent of that fawn is
on that arson train. And I got to deal with
textosos that are very, very hector the whole protector when
(46:10):
it comes to protecting our local government, which I don't
feel like deserves any protection whatsoever. Fires are no fires
I do. I do not like local politicians. I've never
liked local politicians, and that goes back to my background
growing up and serving those people at my father's restaurant
and seeing what they're like when the sun goes down
(46:31):
and there's no social media. And that's just my own experience,
and I'm disgusted by the grand standing local politicians and
I'll never not be and I'll never apologize for feeling
that way. I'll never not feel that way. You know what,
all the local politicians reminded me of when the lights
turned out, doctor Buss. That's what all right?
Speaker 3 (46:53):
You guys mentioned the helicopter flyers out there right now?
How about the guys walking into the canyons and by
hand stopping them out? Just telling Dawn about that.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
I saw that happen once on Catalina Island, so big
ass fire in the isthmus and we thought it was
gonna be like Armageddon, and like one fire truck showed
up and a couple guys just stomped it out with
their boots. I couldn't believe it felt like kind of
a weenie watching those guys do that. You know, while
you're standing by watching the fire. These guys just show
up and stomp it out. Well, hang in there, everybody,
God bless you. Petrosen Money Show on the air on
