but we're back. That's because Bert sunk the comrades in
the in the Atlantic while he was out there fishing
for crab.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
We start eating burritos and Bert's not sinking his teeth
into anything, and he starts foxing around with buttons and
next thing you know, our motorcycle coverage goes to hell.

Our motocycle race certainly did go to hell, Matt, but
it's still on Channel four. Channel four went into tracking
mode like a bunch of bitches. But Channel five kt
la the spear of how fisherman is alive in this
city and they're following this unruly motorbike gang, a dirt
bike gang, and uh they seem to be uh gaining strength, Matt.

On Channel five, it looks like some motorcycle cops now
are chasing the motorcycle gang.

That's a whole school.

And the Yamahawk quad sport is called a she Muzuki

We lost all our guys. We lost everybody had laid laws.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
I just want to see one of these motorcycle calls
pull up next to him and give him the foot.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Yeah, wake him off the bike. One guy peeled off
to the side. He feels like the block is too hot.
I'd like to see all these young people arrested.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, so we are going into the LAX.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I want to see more bike going in La now
and so we are zoo. That's probably a bad idea.
Speaker 8 (03:32):
This CHP pursued a multiple We thought something was going
to happen today, like Rookie Sasaki was going to sign
while we were out here, right, like you know Blake
Griffin signed when we are sure what that one day.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
But instead what happens a giant dirt bike chase through
Los Angeles all the way down the one oh five,
Absolutely incredible.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
On those motorbikes, some sixteen seventeen of them, did we count, Yeah,
seventeen criminals, right, and.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Then all of a sudden we saw them on the phone.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
It's Ocean's eleven. If so many criminals been operating at
the same time. When we got two four six cops
going to a.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
Gas station and one by one now a crowd of
sixteen or seven.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
That New DA is going to throw the book at
these unruly.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
You exactly right.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Our city is hurting and these young men are driving
all over our roads acting like clowns.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
I'd like to see Sweet James get on his Bugatti
and deliver justice to these guys, knock them all over.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
That's what I'd like to see.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
You, beautiful Look at.
Speaker 9 (04:28):
All that stop want they tried to pull them.
Speaker 2 (04:30):

Of course it's illegal.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Failure to yield. That's how this all started.
Speaker 9 (04:37):
You were in California.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
No helmet, not garried. Busey's fine with it.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Kates feels it feels like Tim Kates does not want
to leave this chase.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
It feels like this is no license. This is your baby.
Oh you can't get it.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
You're upset so that you're upset because I have it
on Channel five and you don't have it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
No, he didn't like it. He didn't like the chase.
He does.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
He thinks these these unruly teenagers are getting one over
on the coppers and it's upsetting case.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
So you want us to abandon the chase, Street, Let's
support the chase.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
I feel like you guys are like the TV covers,
giving them more shine than they really need.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I mean, these guys are out here just cruising around.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
They look around here and they say something better to celebrate.

That's the Suzuki four wheeler and the Yamaha goes by
the moniker banshee.

on people's graves right now.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Now that's misinformation, but.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
It'd be a hell of a story. How dare you.

Speaker 10 (08:50):

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Serious beer drinkers.
Speaker 1 (08:57):

Speaker 3 (09:03):
The Great Bob Buker. Tim Kates put together a.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Little montage Major League great couple of Miller like commercials,
the backup, the backup sound on that No I missed,
I missed. I would like to see Marilyn manson the
backup sound on that on that Miller like commercials. It
reminds me of like these guys on Instagram now that
(09:29):
make fun of coaches, you know, they make fun of
like little league dads or like uh, travel ball baseball coaches,
and they're always just alone and screaming at somebody that's
not really there. But there's always like the off camera
guy that goes. Then they react to that. Okay, choke up,
(09:50):
choke up, billy, choke up.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
N b A Lakers are but they're twenty one and seventeen.
They got off the schnod last night. They knocked off
Homy Hakez. No Jimmy Butler still demanding the trade in
the Miami Heat Clippers. Lebron James joined the Kelsey Brothers
podcast thingy, whatever the hell that thing's called. It's very popular,
and he said that all these people be hating on
Bronnie and if they ever had a chance to just
(10:19):
sit down and talk to him and get to know
the kid, there's no way that'd be happening, because he's
just a good, good kid.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Do we have the sound on that. I don't see
that on my phone.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
No, I just made I read that as I was
reading about Clutch Sports trying to launch a rival league
to the NBA. That was included in that as an
ancillary story about how if we would just sit with Bronnie,
we wouldn't dare take shots at him because we'd realize
what a great kid is.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
That reminds me of that song by Tonic.
Speaker 9 (10:42):
You know, if you could only see the way.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
She loves me, maybe you do nunsand how cool Broni is.
The new report by the Cowboys insider Edwarder some more headed,
imports the idea that Jerry Jones is seriously considering offering
the head coaching job to Deon Sanders. Well, he put
it out there like it was going to be a thing,
(11:08):
and now like you can't hire some run of the
mill coach because people want Dion, and but he doesn't
want to because Deon's gonna suck up all the oxygen
that he wants, so we'll see how that plays out.
I'm in your head, Ed and Matt, I'm sure we'll
talk some NFL. I'm sure it's still stings a little
like Stingley. Sure does, but we're gonna talk some NFL.
We got the playoff games coming up.
Speaker 5 (11:29):

see who the team hires as its.
Speaker 2 (11:53):

Speaker 5 (11:56):
I think everybody understands that it's gonna come down to
a GM and a coach and myself and whether we
all want to do a dance together.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
One more dance. You know I always do. I always
do the last dance of the season.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Except this year.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Somebody told me I couldn't, So I'm gonna do my
kind of dancing with a great partner, Francis Houseman. You know,
matt you don't know. You sit here and make fun
and say nepotism and talk about lebron nepotism, but you
(12:32):
don't know what it's like to sit down with Brownie.
If I did, if you cood on Listie way good
kid that Bronnie is, maybe you'd understand how Bronnie is
so cool.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Pastor Matthew, you like to call Pastor is going to

I don't rememberbout that. That's the sol Asylum video.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
All right, well we will talk to Pastor Matthew. We're

a wild day. I mean we already talked Clint. We
talked to Clint. We talked to Mayor Via ra Gosa.
Remember that good looking mayor guy.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
We talked of his glasses and I stopped dead in
my tracks. Good looking gun. Look at that guy.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
We talked to Barry from Barry's Tickets. Always a scintillating interview.
Talked to David Vassa about the latest with the Dodgers.

they cut away. We didn't cut away, did they eventually?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah? How do we know?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Because I was watching when they went back to the

from Altadena. He's gonna join us next we're live at
the Dream Center.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Come on down, Hello everybody, what's cracking and welcome back.
The One and only Petros and Money Show is back.
Matt left on a dirt bike. He is, he's doing
the dirt bike course that Pastor Matthew dugout south South here.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
That's one of our great listeners, Claudio, You remember Suzanne
great They would always donate big money whenever we would
do our Dream Center pledge drives and so he heard
we were gonna be here, loaded up the jeep and
just dropped off a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
John, great person.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
We have great people all over the city showing their compassion,
being selfless, and uh, it's a really gratifying thing because
you see something terrible happen and there's no doubt that
it brings a lot of fear and a lot of
trepidation to all of us, but you also see the way.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
The community responds.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
And one of the great people in the community, maybe
our best pastor Matthew Barnett. I wish we could claim
him and say, like he went to Marshall High School
and Los Fila's up the street, but he's from Iowa.
He grew up in Arizona. He bought this on a
wing and a prayer in the nineties, like we talked about,
they were gonna sell it to a movie a movie company, Paramount,
(15:23):
and the sisters that had the hospital wanted it to
be a place of healing, and they sold it to
Pastor Matthew.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
He has created a global.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
And national brand of compassion here with the Dream Center
in Los Angeles, and what we've witnessed matt in the
last few hours is pretty remarkable. And they've been here
day eight. This guy has the energy of I don't know,
the energizer bunny. He's joining us right now and we're
happy that he just got back from Altadina, where they
(15:53):
where they gave those laptops to the kids at the
charter school whose school burned down. Pastor Matthew, thank you
so much for hopping with us, and thank you for
everything you do.
Speaker 9 (16:02):
How are you, Oh, it's the greatest joy to be
with you.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Man.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
It's just like everything is happening so fast. I mean,
this line never stops ten hour, just keeps going and going.
And when I was at in Altadena, they were.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
All people say, hey, I knew you.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
I saw you at the food line and we got
our initial water and stuff because the water is bad
to drink and all that.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
And so when I went to.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
The school and it was kind of it's kind of
like it was crushing because I got up there and
I was looking at these families, and you really don't
know to say to someone who's lost everything. I usually
can kind of figure out something to say, but I
was so overwhelmed, and so I just.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
Got up there and I said, We'll just be here
for you.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Man.
Speaker 9 (16:38):
We're not gonna leave you. We're gonna be there. We
have our staff who's so owned.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
They go to that school that got burned down, and
so they know all your needs. We have all their contacts,
and so I just showed up and you know what's
neat because we had a little I said, we do
you have any little extra money laying around?
Speaker 9 (16:54):
They said yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
People have been driving by and dropping off money to
give to the workers for handing it to them, and
the worker said, no, that needs to go to the people.
So we took twelve thousand. We took like a twelve
thousand dollars cheese, two or fifty dollars per family, forty
eight of them, and we just gave it from the
food line to them.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
And then and then the the chromebooks. That was it.
Though at various tickets and very.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
And in their contribution, they just wept. I mean they
were like it was It felt like I was in
the middle of the greatest.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
Like heartbreak I've ever been in my entire life.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
And then and then we just said we'll just keep
grinding away, We'll keep doing things for you. We'll keep
helping families, we'll keep up the make down payments that
we have to whoever we got to do. We're in
it because everything the Dream Center's ever done has been
staying and not leaving our one year recovery program. All
these guys here are in the one year recovery program
and they're the ones that are giving back out of
their own pain. They're serving out of their struggles. So
(17:48):
it's really incredible all the dynamics that are going on.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
I think anybody that looks at it assumes that it's easy,
that this is so streamlined, and look at you got
it ingress and egress and they just get a simple
call to sack. How long did this take? Like, how
how did you figure this out? What was it that
led to this? Because it is an incredible operation to
take in.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Yeah, when a disaster rocal loose. On Tuesday afternoon, I said,
whatever we have make available. We have one hundred and
eight beds in the shelter that are full, we have
all these different things, and then we have the food line.
We have enough food for a couple of days. Let's
just make it available and just see what happens. Well, Tuesday,
it was a little bit slow. But Wednesday, oh my goodness.
Speaker 9 (18:23):
Our whole world change. We're like, what is going on?
Speaker 7 (18:26):
And so we don't have any big media ministry or
anything like that. We just all we did is got
on social media and said come to the dream there.
And during COVID, you know, people got used to like
to supporting us, sin coming by here and rallying. And
one day we had last Saturday, we had twelve hundred
volunteers on Saturday, twelve hundred.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
How do you manage all those people? How do you know?
Speaker 7 (18:46):
How you got your We got superstar Riley over here
just killing it. But we're really what happened was I
just told our people to say yes to everything.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
It's like the movie Jim Carrey. Yes, ma'am, just.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
Yes, Yes, we could do it. Yes, we'll find a way.
People are sorting closed. It was complete pandemonium. But you know,
we're trying to build an army that will literally attack
Altadena in that area since we're close, only fifteen minutes away.
That's kind of that concentrated area that we're going after
right now.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
But we're building an army that we can mobilize and
do great things with.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
So as people are coming getting serve their needs met.
We're also meeting the needs of a lonely city of
la where they're finding community by coming out and serving
and doing what they're doing. So it has just been
everything all at once. I feel like I've lived five
lifetimes in the last eight days.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I'm bet for you.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
We were talking about when you bought this in the
nineties before we got on the air, and how many
people was there an army of people helping you?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Then? What was it like way back then? I mean,
and you look out and see this.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
I mean, granted, none of us like to have a disaster,
but my goodness, what a wonderful thing you guys have
built here.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
We moved in here, we only had ten people in
a four hundred thousand square foot building.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
It was like the Shining Man.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
It was like the only ones walking out in this
big old place, you know. And so it was really
crazy because we got here hate mail from everyone saying
that we were reckless and irresponsible because you know, trying
to take on something we couldn't afford. And I was
actually reading the hate mail, and I was actually agreeing
with it. I was actually agreeing with my haters I'm like,
you're absolutely right, why are you doing this? But we
just kept taking one step after another, and before long
(20:15):
we had miracles that showed up. People said, we believe
in this crazy vision of a twenty four to seventh
place that would never sleep, that would always be open
to take anyone who was homeless, who had.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Need, And so that's kind of how it happened.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
And then eighteen months later we come up with three
point nine million dollars and we only had fifty thousand
dollars in one year that was in our bank account,
but we stepped out and fit. We've never believed That's
why I think it works so good at iHeartRadio. We've
never believed that you do something when you have it.
You throw out whatever you have and it's never going
to be enough, and then you figure it out along
(20:47):
the way.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
And I think that's what's happened here.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
Our instincts have gotten a little bit better over time
at adapting faster. We had some people from the fire
department military come by and say, hey, we can help
you do a line better.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
We're like, cool, we'll do it better.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
But you know, if you always wait around until you
have something to do, something you'll never do it.
Speaker 9 (21:03):
You just got to do it right now when you
have the opportunity.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Conditions are never perfect. They're never perfect.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Nope.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
And for people that you know, Clint we were talking
to a little bit earlier and he pointed it out,
it's you know, for people that think, oh, I have
to have had some you know, I had to have
lost my home on the fire to get in this line.
And it's you don't think about all the people, the businesses,
the workers, the people that are out of a job now,
the people that were nannies, that were gardeners, that all
those things.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And that's what this line is.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
It's not just if you lost your home to the
fire you don't have a school to send your kids to.
It's everybody that's been affected by this tragedy that you open.
It's kind of it seems like it's sort of your
mission statement anyway. It's just anyone, anytime right here is
your place.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
That's exactly right. Everyone's been impacted in some way. You know,
they lose temporary jobs for two or three days, and
people aren't living paycheck to paycheck in LA. They're living
the min and by minute, and so when they come
by here, it's like, hey, I couldn't do my service
work and this week, or I couldn't like, you know,
do house clean for a week or whatever need it.
Speaker 9 (21:59):
May be, and we just keep showing up.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
But also what this is it becomes ground zero to
be able to really have a long term strategy and
plan to go after all the needs of these cities
and rebuild.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
I mean, we got.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Guys bringing in like lumber and we're like, cool, we're
gonna use that. I mean, it's like, it's really ridiculous
how much we are prepared for the next phase.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
And that's what.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
Brings me the great joy.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
And you got to have a staging ground to be
able to see this happen of meeting needs and welcoming
volunteers and seeing a great work being to happen.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
And it really is people working together. And it takes
a guy like pastor Matthew Barnett to start something that
creates that kind of that ground swell, which you've done here,
and it's a wonderful thing to see. I would imagine
that your neighbor's here in Echo Park and in Silver Lake.
They have to be pretty understanding about the lines. But
(22:49):
I heard that they've been fabulous about that as well.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
Okay, we had people from silver Lake came back last
night when it was over, and they've dropped off a
donation and they.
Speaker 9 (22:57):
Said, we represent the people of silver Lake.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
I don't know how much that meant really, but they
sounded convincing, really like convincing, you know, and they said
they didn't.
Speaker 11 (23:10):
No kind of but they came up and they said
we and they did a video on the dreams and
Instagram and they said, we want you to know we
are not bothered by the traffic, and we raised.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
Money from all of our neighbors. You ride together, So
it really is I mean, this community. I think they
understand that this place just responds. Remember there's a need,
and they step up and they were serving with us.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
Guy came by today and we took him in so
put him on the line.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
So yeah, the you know, the fires.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
When I watched the news and it was twenty four
to seven coverage and now we're kind of back to rail.
The judge Shooti's back on and then we all fortunates
back on and and now we get into this next
phase of of what happened.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
We just watched the car chase.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
We just watched the car chase, you know, so things
have obviously returned to a sense of normalcy from our media,
you know, distribution sites.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
What about here?
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Like, what what's what's next for here now that the
fires have any Because I think that's what people always
get afraid of.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
They're like, oh, they'll just move on to the next thing.
So like, what about what you guys are doing here?
Speaker 7 (24:09):
You know, That's what excites me the most because that's
where we get to really deal with relationships, one on one,
meeting people, talking with them and just walking them through life.
That's my favorite part, to be honest. I mean, I
love the big things. I love the chaos, a lot
of the excitement. But man, when we when we have
this unprecedented access into people's lives, and we do. We
have one hundred and seventy names already lined up we're
going after and then we'll go to more. But I
(24:30):
think that greatest joy now because man's need is God's
call for today.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
That's what we really believe.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
And so we have so much need, we have so
many things to tackle, and I think the strength of
the Dream Center is that bulldog mentality that just says
we're never going to stop.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
I mean, that's why all of our programs are a
year long.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
We give people the luxury of time we work with them,
and so staying is our strength. Staying is you know,
during COVID, everyone thought we were done. I mean, I mean,
we've been put to death more than anybody in people's perception.
You got this amazing building you can sell for two
hundred million dollars, leave l A. You know, started in Nashville, Arizona,
and all that makes me, matt I want to slap
them inside the head. And yes, when there's the we
(25:08):
put deeper roots in the ground. We figured it out along.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Sorry, of course I can hit that. Thanks. There we
go right upside the head.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Not going to Nashville's wrong with you, Leonardo Coffey, We're
not leaving.

these disasters and I'm just my heart goes out to everybody, uh,
you know up in LA and you know it's something
that every time there's disaster somewhere up run out to
you know, Houston, Texas, up to Paradise, up North Maui.
Last year, here it is in our backyard. And you
know a lot of times we have to wait three
(28:01):
or four weeks because the good people from you know,
all the disaster things of the Red Cross and stuff,
have to try to get people places to live, have
to get them food and drink. You know, hey, but

hundred pairs up to Santa Monica today and tomorrow afternoon
of the Boys and Girls Club who are helping out.
We're going to be letting them hand out some people
on the west side, shoes and socks, all of different
things that we have. But you know, I'm going to
hook up with Pastor Matthew when they have one hundred
and thirty families, will try to gather some things up.
But we normally wait three or four weeks and we'll
(28:45):
be going out to churches and schools. As everybody said,
their numb right now. You know what happened, you know,
just a week ago, and so hearts go out to
everybody there and Vans you know, been around fifty nine

Speaker 5 (29:42):
We're just talking on the radio. We're discussing how we're
set up at Dream Center, and the gears start working
in Steve's head and all he wants to do is
help and we appreciate it. You do it every time
luckness comes up, and we will certainly let Dave know,
let us know, hit us up through our social media
channels at A five seven d LA Sports on Instagram

Yeah. No, So we'll be, you know, a couple of
weeks from now, we'll be finding schools and churches and
stuff in both the West Side as well as the
East side. Last week, with the help of the Elks
Club in Pasadena, we're able to get three hundred people
some shoes, socks, and clothing and stuff. They were very
nice to host something right when it was happening there
in Altadena in Pasadena, so know, lots of people that
(30:33):
lost houses and just trying to help out where we can.

Meck, got trust some money AM five seventy LA Sports,
And that applies to what we're doing right now. If
it wasn't for the hope that all of these fine
folks are providing, the iHeart would break.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Yes it was, and it did break for a brief moment,
but we're back. That's because Bert sunk the comrades in
the in the Atlantic while he was out there fishing
for crab.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
We start eating burritos and Bert's not sinking his teeth
into anything, and he starts foxing around with buttons and
next thing you know, our motorcycle coverage goes to hell.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Our motocycle race certainly did go to hell, Matt, but
it's still on Channel four. Channel four went into tracking
mode like a bunch of bitches. But Channel five kt
la the spear of how fisherman is alive in this
city and they're following this unruly motorbike gang, a dirt
bike gang, and uh they seem to be uh gaining strength, Matt.
(02:13):
And it looks like there's a couple of polepole behind him.
On Channel five, it looks like some motorcycle cops now
are chasing the motorcycle gang.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Alright, for an eye on you guys.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
We're in trouble and we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Have to jump off at a run.

Well, they do have small tanks. That's the helicopter.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
The helicopters. They're in trouble.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Well, they really got a land then, because that's that's
something where they can just just out anywhere we're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That's what he says.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
Hockey or whatever it might be.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Matt, you know what it is. Why don't you school
him to tell him it's not a k Kawasaki.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
It's a k exib. It's the Yamaha. It's a y
z If.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
It's a Honda, it's a c R so what I'm
telling you right now, But it's a husk of barn.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It sounds like this.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
It's a Kawasaki, it sounds like this.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
That's a whole school.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
And the Yamahawk quad sport is called a she Muzuki
is a quad sport.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
You're not going to make up for getting it wrong
or never got respute all this information.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
It was a it was a good jump to car.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
We lost all our guys. We lost everybody had laid laws.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
They're not listening to us anymore.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I just want to see one of these motorcycle calls
pull up next to him and give him the foot.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Yeah, wake him off the bike. One guy peeled off
to the side. He feels like the block is too hot.
I'd like to see all these young people arrested.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, so we are going into the LAX.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I want to see more bike going in La now
and so we are zoo. That's probably a bad idea.
Speaker 8 (03:32):
This CHP pursued a multiple We thought something was going
to happen today, like Rookie Sasaki was going to sign
while we were out here, right, like you know Blake
Griffin signed when we are sure what that one day.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
But instead what happens a giant dirt bike chase through
Los Angeles all the way down the one oh five,
Absolutely incredible.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
On those motorbikes, some sixteen seventeen of them, did we count, Yeah,
seventeen criminals, right, and.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Then all of a sudden we saw them on the phone.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
It's Ocean's eleven. If so many criminals been operating at
the same time. When we got two four six cops
going to a.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
Gas station and one by one now a crowd of
sixteen or seven.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
That New DA is going to throw the book at
these unruly.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
You exactly right.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Our city is hurting and these young men are driving
all over our roads acting like clowns.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
I'd like to see Sweet James get on his Bugatti
and deliver justice to these guys, knock them all over.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
That's what I'd like to see.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
You, beautiful Look at.
Speaker 9 (04:28):
All that stop want they tried to pull them.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
That's what people are doing here. Look at all that
stop violation, which was failure to yield.
Speaker 9 (04:34):
Of course it's illegal.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Failure to yield. That's how this all started.
Speaker 9 (04:37):
You were in California.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
No helmet, not garried. Busey's fine with it.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Kates feels it feels like Tim Kates does not want
to leave this chase.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
It feels like this is no license. This is your baby.
Oh you can't get it.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
You're upset so that you're upset because I have it
on Channel five and you don't have it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
No, he didn't like it. He didn't like the chase.
He does.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
He thinks these these unruly teenagers are getting one over
on the coppers and it's upsetting case.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
So you want us to abandon the chase, Street, Let's
support the chase.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
I feel like you guys are like the TV covers,
giving them more shine than they really need.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I mean, these guys are out here just cruising around.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
They look around here and they say something better to celebrate.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
It's time for the final hour fun fast fact.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, we're three fun.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Fat fun fact.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Final hour fun Fact.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Did you know that's Suzuki motorcycles. Did you know that
Kawasaki motorcycles have the prefix KX, Yamaha y Z, Honda
c R.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
That's how you know. That's your fun fast.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Every motorcycle that ever dirt bike went on the four
fifths all got named in the last exactly right, and
they all seem to be out on the streets.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
And don't forget about the quad Sport four to thirty.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
That's the Suzuki four wheeler and the Yamaha goes by
the moniker banshee.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
That's what we got out there. And I think they've
now broken into a cemetery and they are doing donuts
on people's graves right now.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Now that's misinformation, but.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
It'd be a hell of a story. How dare you.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
All right? It's cyber quickheads, I don't have quick as.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
It's on your phone. We have to go off.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
What do I look like some kind of weirdo that
can read off a little phone? I'm old.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
I'd like to see Sweet James roll up on those
motorcycle guys and run them off the road in his Bugatti,
just blow them off the road.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, that's quick hits. Some make it quick y'all.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
But yeah, we.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Are on Sasaki. Watch the Sasaki sweep steaks. Who will

Speaker 10 (08:50):
Yeah, light tastes great and it's less filling, and you
don't want to get filled up when you're having as
good a time as we are.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Right Yn the.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Serious beer drinkers.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
There's only one light beer Miller life stopping man, you're
killing me.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
The Great Bob Buker. Tim Kates put together a.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Little montage Major League great couple of Miller like commercials,
the backup, the backup sound on that No I missed,
I missed. I would like to see Marilyn manson the
backup sound on that on that Miller like commercials. It
reminds me of like these guys on Instagram now that
(09:29):
make fun of coaches, you know, they make fun of
like little league dads or like uh, travel ball baseball coaches,
and they're always just alone and screaming at somebody that's
not really there. But there's always like the off camera
guy that goes. Then they react to that. Okay, choke up,
(09:50):
choke up, billy, choke up.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
N b A Lakers are but they're twenty one and seventeen.
They got off the schnod last night. They knocked off
Homy Hakez. No Jimmy Butler still demanding the trade in
the Miami Heat Clippers. Lebron James joined the Kelsey Brothers
podcast thingy, whatever the hell that thing's called. It's very popular,
and he said that all these people be hating on
Bronnie and if they ever had a chance to just
(10:19):
sit down and talk to him and get to know
the kid, there's no way that'd be happening, because he's
just a good, good kid.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Do we have the sound on that. I don't see
that on my phone.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
No, I just made I read that as I was
reading about Clutch Sports trying to launch a rival league
to the NBA. That was included in that as an
ancillary story about how if we would just sit with Bronnie,
we wouldn't dare take shots at him because we'd realize
what a great kid is.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
That reminds me of that song by Tonic.
Speaker 9 (10:42):
You know, if you could only see the way.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
She loves me, maybe you do nunsand how cool Broni is.
The new report by the Cowboys insider Edwarder some more headed,
imports the idea that Jerry Jones is seriously considering offering
the head coaching job to Deon Sanders. Well, he put
it out there like it was going to be a thing,
(11:08):
and now like you can't hire some run of the
mill coach because people want Dion, and but he doesn't
want to because Deon's gonna suck up all the oxygen
that he wants, so we'll see how that plays out.
I'm in your head, Ed and Matt, I'm sure we'll
talk some NFL. I'm sure it's still stings a little
like Stingley. Sure does, but we're gonna talk some NFL.
We got the playoff games coming up.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
First game Texans Chiefs Saturday, followed by Commanders at Lions
in the nightcap. You can hear both of those games
right here on AM five to seventy Sports beginning at
one pm. And then Sunday, Rams Eagles last game is
going to be Ravens versus Bills. You'll hear that on
AM eleven fifty Sunday at three thirty pm. And Aaron
Rodgers' future with the Jets up in the air, The
(11:50):
forty one year old QB says he will wait to
see who the team hires as its.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Next GM and head coach. Quote.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
I think everybody understands that it's gonna come down to
a GM and a coach and myself and whether we
all want to do a dance together.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
One more dance. You know I always do. I always
do the last dance of the season.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Except this year.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Somebody told me I couldn't, So I'm gonna do my
kind of dancing with a great partner, Francis Houseman. You know,
matt you don't know. You sit here and make fun
and say nepotism and talk about lebron nepotism, but you
(12:32):
don't know what it's like to sit down with Brownie.
If I did, if you cood on Listie way good
kid that Bronnie is, maybe you'd understand how Bronnie is
so cool.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Pastor Matthew, you like to call Pastor is going to
join us next The PGA announced today that they are
moving the Genesis Invitational from RIB to another location.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Location is TVD That.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
You got time, Pastor Matthew, don't worry, you got a
few minutes.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Is next month and will not be old in Pacific Palisades. Understandable.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Where's it going Lakeside? That's a goat track.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
I think it's going to black Gold. As a matter
of fact, that's really.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Is that where they shot the Beverly Hill Billies.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I don't rememberbout that. That's the sol Asylum video.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
All right, well we will talk to Pastor Matthew. We're
live here at the Dream Center. It's been kind of
a wild day. I mean we already talked Clint. We
talked to Clint. We talked to Mayor Via ra Gosa.
Remember that good looking mayor guy.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
We talked of his glasses and I stopped dead in
my tracks. Good looking gun. Look at that guy.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
We talked to Barry from Barry's Tickets. Always a scintillating interview.
Talked to David Vassa about the latest with the Dodgers.
We covered a biker boys bike chase, still going, but
they cut away. We didn't cut away, did they eventually?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah? How do we know?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Because I was watching when they went back to the
studio and then they went to commercial. Pastor Matthews back
from Altadena. He's gonna join us next we're live at
the Dream Center.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Come on down, Hello everybody, what's cracking and welcome back.
The One and only Petros and Money Show is back.
Matt left on a dirt bike. He is, he's doing
the dirt bike course that Pastor Matthew dugout south South here.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
That's one of our great listeners, Claudio, You remember Suzanne
great They would always donate big money whenever we would
do our Dream Center pledge drives and so he heard
we were gonna be here, loaded up the jeep and
just dropped off a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
John, great person.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
We have great people all over the city showing their compassion,
being selfless, and uh, it's a really gratifying thing because
you see something terrible happen and there's no doubt that
it brings a lot of fear and a lot of
trepidation to all of us, but you also see the way.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
The community responds.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
And one of the great people in the community, maybe
our best pastor Matthew Barnett. I wish we could claim
him and say, like he went to Marshall High School
and Los Fila's up the street, but he's from Iowa.
He grew up in Arizona. He bought this on a
wing and a prayer in the nineties, like we talked about,
they were gonna sell it to a movie a movie company, Paramount,
(15:23):
and the sisters that had the hospital wanted it to
be a place of healing, and they sold it to
Pastor Matthew.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
He has created a global.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
And national brand of compassion here with the Dream Center
in Los Angeles, and what we've witnessed matt in the
last few hours is pretty remarkable. And they've been here
day eight. This guy has the energy of I don't know,
the energizer bunny. He's joining us right now and we're
happy that he just got back from Altadina, where they
(15:53):
where they gave those laptops to the kids at the
charter school whose school burned down. Pastor Matthew, thank you
so much for hopping with us, and thank you for
everything you do.
Speaker 9 (16:02):
How are you, Oh, it's the greatest joy to be
with you.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Man.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
It's just like everything is happening so fast. I mean,
this line never stops ten hour, just keeps going and going.
And when I was at in Altadena, they were.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
All people say, hey, I knew you.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
I saw you at the food line and we got
our initial water and stuff because the water is bad
to drink and all that.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
And so when I went to.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
The school and it was kind of it's kind of
like it was crushing because I got up there and
I was looking at these families, and you really don't
know to say to someone who's lost everything. I usually
can kind of figure out something to say, but I
was so overwhelmed, and so I just.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
Got up there and I said, We'll just be here
for you.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Man.
Speaker 9 (16:38):
We're not gonna leave you. We're gonna be there. We
have our staff who's so owned.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
They go to that school that got burned down, and
so they know all your needs. We have all their contacts,
and so I just showed up and you know what's
neat because we had a little I said, we do
you have any little extra money laying around?
Speaker 9 (16:54):
They said yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
People have been driving by and dropping off money to
give to the workers for handing it to them, and
the worker said, no, that needs to go to the people.
So we took twelve thousand. We took like a twelve
thousand dollars cheese, two or fifty dollars per family, forty
eight of them, and we just gave it from the
food line to them.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
And then and then the the chromebooks. That was it.
Though at various tickets and very.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
And in their contribution, they just wept. I mean they
were like it was It felt like I was in
the middle of the greatest.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
Like heartbreak I've ever been in my entire life.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
And then and then we just said we'll just keep
grinding away, We'll keep doing things for you. We'll keep
helping families, we'll keep up the make down payments that
we have to whoever we got to do. We're in
it because everything the Dream Center's ever done has been
staying and not leaving our one year recovery program. All
these guys here are in the one year recovery program
and they're the ones that are giving back out of
their own pain. They're serving out of their struggles. So
(17:48):
it's really incredible all the dynamics that are going on.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
I think anybody that looks at it assumes that it's easy,
that this is so streamlined, and look at you got
it ingress and egress and they just get a simple
call to sack. How long did this take? Like, how
how did you figure this out? What was it that
led to this? Because it is an incredible operation to
take in.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Yeah, when a disaster rocal loose. On Tuesday afternoon, I said,
whatever we have make available. We have one hundred and
eight beds in the shelter that are full, we have
all these different things, and then we have the food line.
We have enough food for a couple of days. Let's
just make it available and just see what happens. Well, Tuesday,
it was a little bit slow. But Wednesday, oh my goodness.
Speaker 9 (18:23):
Our whole world change. We're like, what is going on?
Speaker 7 (18:26):
And so we don't have any big media ministry or
anything like that. We just all we did is got
on social media and said come to the dream there.
And during COVID, you know, people got used to like
to supporting us, sin coming by here and rallying. And
one day we had last Saturday, we had twelve hundred
volunteers on Saturday, twelve hundred.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
How do you manage all those people? How do you know?
Speaker 7 (18:46):
How you got your We got superstar Riley over here
just killing it. But we're really what happened was I
just told our people to say yes to everything.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
It's like the movie Jim Carrey. Yes, ma'am, just.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
Yes, Yes, we could do it. Yes, we'll find a way.
People are sorting closed. It was complete pandemonium. But you know,
we're trying to build an army that will literally attack
Altadena in that area since we're close, only fifteen minutes away.
That's kind of that concentrated area that we're going after
right now.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
But we're building an army that we can mobilize and
do great things with.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
So as people are coming getting serve their needs met.
We're also meeting the needs of a lonely city of
la where they're finding community by coming out and serving
and doing what they're doing. So it has just been
everything all at once. I feel like I've lived five
lifetimes in the last eight days.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I'm bet for you.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
We were talking about when you bought this in the
nineties before we got on the air, and how many
people was there an army of people helping you?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Then? What was it like way back then? I mean,
and you look out and see this.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
I mean, granted, none of us like to have a disaster,
but my goodness, what a wonderful thing you guys have
built here.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
We moved in here, we only had ten people in
a four hundred thousand square foot building.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
It was like the Shining Man.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
It was like the only ones walking out in this
big old place, you know. And so it was really
crazy because we got here hate mail from everyone saying
that we were reckless and irresponsible because you know, trying
to take on something we couldn't afford. And I was
actually reading the hate mail, and I was actually agreeing
with it. I was actually agreeing with my haters I'm like,
you're absolutely right, why are you doing this? But we
just kept taking one step after another, and before long
(20:15):
we had miracles that showed up. People said, we believe
in this crazy vision of a twenty four to seventh
place that would never sleep, that would always be open
to take anyone who was homeless, who had.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Need, And so that's kind of how it happened.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
And then eighteen months later we come up with three
point nine million dollars and we only had fifty thousand
dollars in one year that was in our bank account,
but we stepped out and fit. We've never believed That's
why I think it works so good at iHeartRadio. We've
never believed that you do something when you have it.
You throw out whatever you have and it's never going
to be enough, and then you figure it out along
(20:47):
the way.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
And I think that's what's happened here.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
Our instincts have gotten a little bit better over time
at adapting faster. We had some people from the fire
department military come by and say, hey, we can help
you do a line better.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
We're like, cool, we'll do it better.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
But you know, if you always wait around until you
have something to do, something you'll never do it.
Speaker 9 (21:03):
You just got to do it right now when you
have the opportunity.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Conditions are never perfect. They're never perfect.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Nope.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
And for people that you know, Clint we were talking
to a little bit earlier and he pointed it out,
it's you know, for people that think, oh, I have
to have had some you know, I had to have
lost my home on the fire to get in this line.
And it's you don't think about all the people, the businesses,
the workers, the people that are out of a job now,
the people that were nannies, that were gardeners, that all
those things.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And that's what this line is.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
It's not just if you lost your home to the
fire you don't have a school to send your kids to.
It's everybody that's been affected by this tragedy that you open.
It's kind of it seems like it's sort of your
mission statement anyway. It's just anyone, anytime right here is
your place.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
That's exactly right. Everyone's been impacted in some way. You know,
they lose temporary jobs for two or three days, and
people aren't living paycheck to paycheck in LA. They're living
the min and by minute, and so when they come
by here, it's like, hey, I couldn't do my service
work and this week, or I couldn't like, you know,
do house clean for a week or whatever need it.
Speaker 9 (21:59):
May be, and we just keep showing up.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
But also what this is it becomes ground zero to
be able to really have a long term strategy and
plan to go after all the needs of these cities
and rebuild.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
I mean, we got.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Guys bringing in like lumber and we're like, cool, we're
gonna use that. I mean, it's like, it's really ridiculous
how much we are prepared for the next phase.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
And that's what.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
Brings me the great joy.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
And you got to have a staging ground to be
able to see this happen of meeting needs and welcoming
volunteers and seeing a great work being to happen.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
And it really is people working together. And it takes
a guy like pastor Matthew Barnett to start something that
creates that kind of that ground swell, which you've done here,
and it's a wonderful thing to see. I would imagine
that your neighbor's here in Echo Park and in Silver Lake.
They have to be pretty understanding about the lines. But
(22:49):
I heard that they've been fabulous about that as well.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
Okay, we had people from silver Lake came back last
night when it was over, and they've dropped off a
donation and they.
Speaker 9 (22:57):
Said, we represent the people of silver Lake.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
I don't know how much that meant really, but they
sounded convincing, really like convincing, you know, and they said
they didn't.
Speaker 11 (23:10):
No kind of but they came up and they said
we and they did a video on the dreams and
Instagram and they said, we want you to know we
are not bothered by the traffic, and we raised.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
Money from all of our neighbors. You ride together, So
it really is I mean, this community. I think they
understand that this place just responds. Remember there's a need,
and they step up and they were serving with us.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
Guy came by today and we took him in so
put him on the line.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
So yeah, the you know, the fires.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
When I watched the news and it was twenty four
to seven coverage and now we're kind of back to rail.
The judge Shooti's back on and then we all fortunates
back on and and now we get into this next
phase of of what happened.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
We just watched the car chase.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
We just watched the car chase, you know, so things
have obviously returned to a sense of normalcy from our media,
you know, distribution sites.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
What about here?
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Like, what what's what's next for here now that the
fires have any Because I think that's what people always
get afraid of.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
They're like, oh, they'll just move on to the next thing.
So like, what about what you guys are doing here?
Speaker 7 (24:09):
You know, That's what excites me the most because that's
where we get to really deal with relationships, one on one,
meeting people, talking with them and just walking them through life.
That's my favorite part, to be honest. I mean, I
love the big things. I love the chaos, a lot
of the excitement. But man, when we when we have
this unprecedented access into people's lives, and we do. We
have one hundred and seventy names already lined up we're
going after and then we'll go to more. But I
(24:30):
think that greatest joy now because man's need is God's
call for today.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
That's what we really believe.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
And so we have so much need, we have so
many things to tackle, and I think the strength of
the Dream Center is that bulldog mentality that just says
we're never going to stop.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
I mean, that's why all of our programs are a
year long.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
We give people the luxury of time we work with them,
and so staying is our strength. Staying is you know,
during COVID, everyone thought we were done. I mean, I mean,
we've been put to death more than anybody in people's perception.
You got this amazing building you can sell for two
hundred million dollars, leave l A. You know, started in Nashville, Arizona,
and all that makes me, matt I want to slap
them inside the head. And yes, when there's the we
(25:08):
put deeper roots in the ground. We figured it out along.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Sorry, of course I can hit that. Thanks. There we
go right upside the head.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Not going to Nashville's wrong with you, Leonardo Coffey, We're
not leaving.

Matthew real live angel in our city. And uh, just

Rather aspiring man, Pastor Matthew. He's tireless and he's putting

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Dream Center's roaring out there. That's awesome. You know, all
these disasters and I'm just my heart goes out to everybody, uh,
you know up in LA and you know it's something
that every time there's disaster somewhere up run out to
you know, Houston, Texas, up to Paradise, up North Maui.
Last year, here it is in our backyard. And you
know a lot of times we have to wait three
(28:01):
or four weeks because the good people from you know,
all the disaster things of the Red Cross and stuff,
have to try to get people places to live, have
to get them food and drink. You know, hey, but
we're we're going to be trying to work with Pastor
Matthew Barnett. We got the good people from Soul for
Souls who help disaster people all over the all over
the country, all over the world. We brought up fifteen
(28:23):
hundred pairs up to Santa Monica today and tomorrow afternoon
of the Boys and Girls Club who are helping out.
We're going to be letting them hand out some people
on the west side, shoes and socks, all of different
things that we have. But you know, I'm going to
hook up with Pastor Matthew when they have one hundred
and thirty families, will try to gather some things up.
But we normally wait three or four weeks and we'll
(28:45):
be going out to churches and schools. As everybody said,
their numb right now. You know what happened, you know,
just a week ago, and so hearts go out to
everybody there and Vans you know, been around fifty nine
years now, and we want to just be able to
help our betyard, you know, fellow customers and fellow people.
I'm sitting inside of a skate park right now here

this Saturday, and if somebody wants to get away from
the area and the hotel there and stuff, Hey all,

something like that, reach out to us. We'd like to
love to have them come in Saturday afternoon evening and stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
It's the best, that's and that's that's what you do. Steve.

We're just talking on the radio. We're discussing how we're
set up at Dream Center, and the gears start working
in Steve's head and all he wants to do is
help and we appreciate it. You do it every time
luckness comes up, and we will certainly let Dave know,
let us know, hit us up through our social media
channels at A five seven d LA Sports on Instagram

Matthew opens his doors here and it's the way it's
always been since the first time we met you.

Yeah. No, So we'll be, you know, a couple of
weeks from now, we'll be finding schools and churches and
stuff in both the West Side as well as the
East side. Last week, with the help of the Elks
Club in Pasadena, we're able to get three hundred people
some shoes, socks, and clothing and stuff. They were very
nice to host something right when it was happening there
in Altadena in Pasadena, so know, lots of people that

lost houses and just trying to help out where we can.
All the people that Van's been coming over helping separate
shoes out and close out. So when we're when we
get the word, we're going to be going out in
the next couple weeks and giving some things away out
there and stuff. But thank you guys for talking, you know,
talking to everybody. Hey, you would have loved this, mat.
