(01:27):
on a five seventy LA Sports. We will follow with
a four hour show that day, not a minute sooner,
So you better be on standby. All right, all.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Right, you know, but I'm kind of, you know, hoping.
I was wishing that we could get a launch pad
in but apparently it's not happening this week because we
got Rogan and Rodney on ten minute standby or whatever.
But I'd like to think if there's gonna be like
five minute differential, we can cut them loose and then
get the launch in Cape Canavral ready to go, uh
(02:00):
fire up the rocket and and launch into the stratosphere.
I thought maybe that could be a I guess, you know,
maybe wishful thinking.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I guess, yeah. I mean, I just like the idea
of an eight minute Rogan and Rodney show.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Well, I know, Matt, but you know that doesn't that
doesn't get us into into the stratosphere. It's not fun
for the launchers. Keeps grounded on a launch yeah, a
lot of people are really into it. All right, It's
time for the word of the day.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
His words the word of the day.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
You know. Tim Katz is on TV tonight. I feel
like I can. That's getting kicked down the road, like
real hard on the back of the head. Uh right,
in the back of the head. That's how it feels,
all right. Today's word of the day is victory. Yes,
U c l A. They did a Bill Walton game
on CBS on Sunday, Matt. It had a spawns, it
(02:59):
had a spaw westcom but it was nice. The dead
music was prevalent throughout both broadcasts. Grateful Dead. I monitored
both broadcasts, Iron Eagle and Bill Raftery and Absolute A
Plus announcing crew calling the game. The Bruins beat the Buckeyes.
(03:21):
Mick Cronin got his five hundred and win, youngest ever
reached that at fifty three. The Walton family was there,
so was HEP Cronin. Great feelings all around. You would
never know that just last week, after blowing the game
to the golfers, Mick was going to throttle poor Josh
(03:41):
Lewin and admonish the poor fans reaction to the misfree throws.
A ha, and you know what, I'm watching this one.
I did see the front end of a one in
one or two I missed and I did not hear.
Ah ah, maybe it was the Walt vibe. Everybody was
(04:03):
in a good mood. I don't know, maybe because they
had a lead. But ah, he did almost send last
week Josh Lewin to Mars to shoot free throws. But
you would have never known that that had happened. Everybody
was joyful. And Matt here is coach in postgame defending,
(04:23):
you know, because Coach has taken some incoming this.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Year, certainly from going after the players, going after Lewin.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
From evil people like j Billis and David Passe, people
with evil intent. And I'm here with a flaming sword
at the gates of Eden to protect me. Cronin here
here he is, and so are you, Matt.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
You're never gonna make everybody happy.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Dreg could blowed back for a lot of stuff. Way
it is, Wait it is. I don't worry about that stuff.
And don't I worry about when Sky and Eric are
twenty eight? Not right now? Are they going to say
that I.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Care about him enough to be hard on him and
try to teach him right from wrong, And sometimes I
say stuff I shouldn't say.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I'm well aware of that.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I can be too hard on okay, but I'd rather
err on that side because I wake up worrying about
what they think when they're twenty eight, not when they're eighteen.
When they're twenty eight. What was Mick Cronin all about him?
Did he let me do things I shouldn't have been
doing just because I was scoring points for him? Or
did he sit me down and try to change my
ways as a man? And to me, that's way more
(05:30):
important than winning five hundred?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Thanks guys, Oh all right, thanks guys. Oh Matt. I
hope McK cronin has that job forever. What would we
do with I can't imagine we lived in a world
without him. What would we do for content? I mean,
he is a machinet of content and a friend. Oh
(05:58):
God bless him, God bless that irishman.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Here's my number number of the day. We know you care, coach.
We know on the Petros and Money show that you care.
We're well aware that never take a shut kidd me
clear to not renumber The day is fifty. That's been
the talk so far out here in Indianapolis, fifty million
dollars minimum Matthew Stafford deal is likely to get done here.
(06:23):
Either less Need and Stafford's agent, Jimmy Sexton are going
to get this thing figured out, or they're going to
discover that a team is willing to pay this guy
way more than the Rams had anticipated and originally had
any interest in paying him, and we'll have to settle
on some sort of draft compensation. It sounds like the
Rams played a hand that perhaps they should not have
(06:43):
if they wanted him to come back, by suggesting to
Stafford that fifty million bucks a year at thirty seven
year old, at thirty seven years old, with his injury
history was going to be awfully hard to find on
the open market and therefore hard for the Rams to justify.
So they gave his agent, Jimmy Sexton andpportunity to go
out and see what the market looked like. Then come back,
let us know, and let's see if we can find
(07:04):
a number that we're both comfortable with and be on
the same page. We like working with Matthew, we want
him to be our quarterback. You won a Super Bowl here,
but let's make sure the money's right, and well, sounds
like there's teams that are saying, fifty million bucks Matthew Stafford,
No problem, let's go, We're ready. So the Steelers, the Giants,
the Browns, the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Oh, I might have gotten a text today from a
former brown quarterback who did text? Where will they get
a load of Kelly Stafford at Cleveland? I'm not gonna
say who it was.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, I wonder hold on got a clumb under all
this weight?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Give me a second.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Now, I'm as far as the brown I don't know
how the Browns fit fifty million bucks of Matthew Stafford
onto their books with the Deshaun Watson contract. But way,
if a former Browns quarterback thinks that, wait, do they
get a load of kellyes Zaford out of here? Perhaps
they are a contender. I know the Raiders got over
one hundred million bucks in salary space to spend. Pete
(08:01):
Carroll is not thirty seven. He's seventy three, so probably
not all that enamored with the idea of drafting one
of two rookies that are each called projects, and probably
would take a couple of seasons to figure it out.
In cam Ward and should Door Sanders.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
He's gonna get more money on the open market. Is
that what you're alleging?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Way more they I don't think.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Stafford said she loves an adventure.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I love an adventure. So the Giants have a head
coach and a general manager that are probably getting fired
if they don't make a run at the playoffs and
at least challenge in their division. With three really good
teams the Commanders, the Eagles, and the Cowboys in there,
Matthew Stafford, Malik Naver's got that going. Maybe draft Ashed
and Gentie at number three, that'd be pretty damn exciting.
(08:43):
Of course, the Steelers regularly have one of the best
defenses in the league, one of the best coaches in
the league at Mike Tomlin, just have not had a
quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger retired. So now you can chase
a super Bowl there. The good thing about this is
it feels like both sides lose, right Like the Rams
who thought they were the smartest kid in class. We're like, yoh,
(09:06):
let's see you figure out this problem. They were like, Yeah,
all these teams are gonna pass fifty million bucks. A
salary cap is gonna be three hundred million dollars next year,
so we're good, We'll give them fifty million dollars and
now they're gonna have to figure that out and eat
some crow there. Or Matthew Stafford if they say, yeah,
we're good and just bringing to Aaron Rodgers and you know,
do that thing. Or Sam Darnold seemed to work pretty
(09:28):
well with Kevin O'Connell, who runs the McVeigh system and
was McK mcvay's quarterbacks coach. It's good there. And then
Kelly Stafford gets to move to Pittsburgh or gets to
move to Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
That's that's when a Pittsburgh's a nice town.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Right, She'll love it there, or think about.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I don't know much about Cleveland, Mattie. You know, I've
never visited the state of Ohio at all, but I
want to go to Cleveland. Well, Pittsburgh too nice.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Where I really want her to go because I know
what type of entertainment she likes, based on what type
of entertainment has been in the sweet around her and
her family. I think Las Vegas would be really nice
for her.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
That's a wholesome town for her.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I think she could find some wholesome family fun in
a city like Las Vegas. So good luck to the Staffords,
good luck to the Rams, good luck to the teams
they're willing to trade for him and his fifty plus
million dollar contract that he is destined to earn next year.
May all the millions go to higher production costs for
Kelly Stafford's podcast. That is so g darn compelling. God,
(10:29):
I hope they move next door to like a porn mogul?
What do you do? Have you ever heard of Vivid
last Fry? Here's some free DVDs. I was gonna send
them to Tony Bruno, but I lost his address.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I act in a lot of my pictures. You'll see
a lot of cummings and goings here. Ah, all right, Roddy.

of the day.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Tom Sorry, we'll roll out the combine coverage starting tomorrow
as everybody's just kind of getting intown tonight. The Prescotta
I for one hand measurements, I am so geeton right,
all will begin tomorrow. So tomorrow's four hour show chalk
full down. We did do the Matthew Stafford stuff there
(13:13):
in the but the freak list from Bruce Feldman all
of that stuff tomorrow today. Since I stayed up until
midnight Chicago time watching the Lakers beat the absolute piss
out of the Nuggets. We talk Lakers knocking off their
nemesis Denver at mile high no lesson with Luca Lebron,
(13:35):
Austin Reeves all besting the Big three of Jokic, Murray
and Aaron Gordon's humiliating them, sending a message, do not
be fooled by future odds favoring us over you in
the postseason. That is not a Las Vegas built in
myopic Laker fan adjustment. These Lakers, when the offense is right,
(13:59):
could be an absolute lude bayer for other teams to
try to figure out.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I made the comment last week and here I am
maybe having to eat a little bit of it. Uh
jj Reddick supposed to be some coaching genius, and uh,
you just have to tip your cat the defensive.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Maybe don't react, you.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Know, don't overreact to one game one of these.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Then you're gonna have to react back the other way.
You're gonna say something like I said this last.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Week and now look at me, I'm a fool.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Yeah, well you know you know what I'm saying, Matt. Yeah,
you end up chasing your money at the strat with
wild eyes. But don't let me get in your way, dude, No, no, no, no, no,
it's fair.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I need to bounce these things off people to make
sure I don't step on my d over and over
and over again.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I was wildly impressed, though, you know, everybody wildly impressed.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Why I really stepped on your d in that one.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Twenty years of d stepping around here, that's pretty much.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
It's like a dance the uh wildly impressed.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
It's like watching two black girls jump rope at this
point with all the freaking cadences, sorry.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Go ahead, the waves of defenders that he threw at
Yoki ch'all game long, constantly waiting before double or triple team.
He worked perfectly force turnovers led to the team fighting
their ass off for fifty fifty balls. They got runouts.
Luca's incredible vision basketball intelligence to guide them to their
most impressive win of the season. That is what it
was on Saturday. So I want to make sure I
(15:25):
give everyone there just to before I throw a little
bit of salt, a little bit of salt. Who's that guy?
The uh?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
The is?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
He is he Chilean or Rubying? He's a Turk. The
guy that throws the salt.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
The guy that drops the salt in a very stottish way, Yeah,
in a very stylish before you drop that Himalayan pink salt.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Before I drop the want.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
To give them their bill Ryder fresh flowers, fresh flowers.
It's such a great feeling to go after your kick
ass and poker with your brother, to go into the
lagio and fresh flowers.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Feel those flowers knocked off. Whoever JJ came help help
me with this.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
My brother Michael Ryable right away well as a flowers
rush flowers.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Reddick came right out and said it. Lucas the primary
ball handler. He's going to handle the balls. He's gonna
handle all the balls. Team will be at his best
when he leads him. Others are playing off them, and
Lebron and Austin Reeves supplement or be the side dishes
to Luca's main course. There was no pushback from Lebron
after that statement. When he was made aware of it,
he used the quarterback to wide receiver analogy, saying, hey,
(16:29):
lucas the better quarterback, I'm the better wide receiver. Let's go.
Everything's on course again after again their biggest win of
the season, So why not feel good about it? Why
not everybody celebrate everybody else? It's clearly was not the
case for Luca in the two games against the Jazz.
The one against the Hornets really didn't get him to
uh to settle in look like the Luca that we
were used to seeing. Needed it to be. Maybe that
(16:51):
first Lakers showdown with two times potentially three time MVP
and someone was often mentioned in the same sentence as
Dancich is the best player in the game, Nikola Jokic
going head to head, or as the Mad Dog likes
to call him, Chokitch Nikola minus eleven Luca plus twenty.
He hunted Jamal Murray, He made a fool of him
in the post he had stepped back threes, basically did
(17:13):
what we had all been waiting for since he put
on a Laker jersey, put on the absolute quintessential Luca
Doncic basketball performance. So what happened? Why did it happen?
Why did it happen on Saturday night? Well, it goes
to something that we talked about last week. Whomen were
playing that audio from PK Suban and the folks taking
their shots at Lebron and the NBA. You mentioned he's
(17:35):
got rabbit ears. I mentioned it's clear he probably heard
that rant based on how he decided to play that
following game in Portland forty points, thirty six minutes, busting
his ass out there on defense, the signature slam celebration
of Lebron by everyone everywhere, as head coach using kid
Lingo saying, no, I'm glazing him right now, man, something
(17:57):
stupid like that. Austin Reeves bombing the post game interview,
freaking out, telling Lebron, how amazing you are, man, all
the talking heads on the weekend shows saying how ridiculous
it is that Lebron's.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Doing this at forty legacy talk legacy, tallegacy man chasing ghosts,
still one of the five to ten best players in
the league.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Lebron got what he wanted. He got the conversation to
shift from the Lebron sucks because he misplayed the All
Star game bs. And remember, there is nothing genuine about
this individual. It is always a means to an end.
And for the first time in a long time, he
(18:39):
realized that the fifty to fifty nature or maybe fifty
five to forty five on the positive side for him
of his polarizing basketball existence is beginning to tilt in
the wrong direction. It was clear that that was starting
to happen when you got the guys that are typically
laying it down for you, not the the the Lebron
(19:00):
sexual Sorry to our friends, didn't you know the Lebron
boot liquors. But those that you know can go either
way and tend to go Lebron's way, they were going
the other way. After he missed that game winner against
the horn check that two game winners against the Hornets
with Lucas standing, They're wide open waiting for a pass.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Yeah, I mean, it's probably like politics. You got your
forty five on one side. They hate Lebron and it
doesn't matter what he does. Maybe you're forty five on
the other side, and they're fighting over that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Middle that middle ten, exactly right, and there the why
do I get the middle ten?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
They're the ones that like, oh he seemed to have
he really took a backseat to Luca this one. Are
they gonna go with Lebron? They are the undecided voter of.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
The NBA exactly right, exactly right. Lebron is curren favor
to the undecided voter.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And I think so he loses when he doesn't show
up in the Blaze Pizza.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
That's right. He hears this, that's coming out one for
twenty nine zero for your last twenty one in game
winning or game time situations since you've been on the Lakers,
And I think he realized, did some inventory, some internal inventory,
and realized Luca doesn't work in Los Angeles. It ain't
(20:19):
gonna be because of Luca. He's way too good. He
has already been crowned as one of the best players
in the NBA and he's only twenty five years old.
He's gonna be twenty six and four days twenty five
years old. And this guy has made five All NBA
First teams already, not one, and it was maybe a
fluke five. Those are not All Star appearances. Those are
(20:39):
all NBA First teams that are almost impossible to make.
To put it in perspective, Dirk Nowitzki, in the conversation,
is one of the best players of his era, made
four All NBA First teams in his entire career. Dwayne
Wade and Scottie Pippen combined for five All NBA First
teams and their careers, and Luca already has five of
(21:00):
them at twenty five years old. So if this goes sideways,
this is not on Luca. This will be on Lebron
for screwing this thing up, for dominating the ball, for
forcing Luca to adapt to him instead of the forty
year old adapting to the twenty five year old All
NBA First teamer in each of the last five years,
there would be absolutely zero other explanation to it. He
(21:24):
would wear it, and if he's in the mood for sabotage,
I can can't guarantee you, but I would believe if,
as you pointed out, that's what he was doing at
the All Star Game, being a saboteur and he continues
to bitch and moan and pitch a fit against the
Hornets by dominating the ball and almost freezing Luca out.
(21:46):
A little bit might have been conveyed to him that he, hey, Lebron,
since you've already planted your flag behind the scenes as
the future owner of the Las Vegas NBA expansion team
when that's ready to launch, and that anybody that wants
to get in on that is going to have to
cut you in on a sizeable percentage of ownership. You
can't have to start playing nice and start playing nice
(22:08):
with the owners. There ain't no way you're taking this
out on Adam Silver if you're pissed off at him,
as you mentioned, looked like that could be the case
at the All Star Break and the All Star Game.
Jeanie Buss, for all of her detractors, she and Adam
Silver are very close and she has got a lot
of pull in those NBA offices in midtown Manhattan. So
(22:30):
don't think for a second that you run your little
pissy fit here. You really want to go down that.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Road, that's your second piss of the cheese pissy fit. Sorry,
I mean, my god, I mean you know you've really
fired up about Lebron.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
You better play nice. You better make sure Luca the
All NBA first team or that we all know he
is looks like that between now and mid April.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Like you, sad Matt. I mean, nobody's more reactionary than
Lebron and his people. Nobody has bigger rabbit ears than
Lebron or his people. And it's all great when it
goes well, like it did against Denver on Saturday. But
these things inevitably don't last. I mean, it's a wild league.
(23:14):
And when how will adversity affect this very fragile house
of cards with them trying to adhere to Luca deal
with Lebron and his weird legacy obsession and everything that
comes along with having Lebron and his building, including having
(23:35):
his son on the team, I mean, and then jaj Ning,
who's volatile as the coach. I mean, it's great if
it's going well, and if it continues to go well,
it's going to be great. But I don't know, I
don't know if things don't consistently go well, I I'm
not sure who gets the blame or where it goes
or how it explodes. But man, what a volatile mix.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
It could be that volatile mix, that perfect volatile me.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Am I reading crack and the contest?
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Am I gonna step I'm a d again?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Uh, it's just you're right.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I mean, look, it looks good to do this game.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah. For me, it's even just the comments. The OLA's
the quarterback, I'm the wide receiver. JJ redd Can you
believe jj Reddick just came out and said it. Basically
told Lebron he said, yeah, that conversation was already had
behind the scenes. I can tell you, hey, b Hey, Lebron,
this is what I'm gonna say. Yeah, say that. JJ,
That's good. I'm good with that. Go on say that,
and then you know what, I'm gonna follow that up
by saying I'm a wide receiver. And he's of course.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I understand what you're saying about. Like you know, I'm
not saying that they're gonna not adhere to Luca. I'm
just saying just having all those people in the same
place where there's wins and losses that judges everything. Of
course they should play through through Luka Doncic. That doesn't
mean they're gonna win the championship. For God's sakes, no,
I mean, maybe it does. I don't know, but if
it doesn't, there will be some kind of failure. And
(24:59):
whenever there's failure, Lebron as a lifelong career long sabbageol.
I mean you could you could argue that he's been
sabotaging things for his whole career, So you know, I.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Think you could make a compelling case.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
In then it'll be interesting to see how how it
all plays out.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Well, good luck to them as they make their as
they make their run through the not the dog days,
but the sprint, I believe is what they call it,
through their sprint to the end of the season. The
upcome feb game tomorrow that was supposed to be a
big celebration of v Luca versus Anthony Davis Mavericks versus
(25:40):
Lakers has certainly been sidetracked a little bit with the
unsurprising Anthony Davis groin injury. So we'll have to wait
for a repeat of that one should they meet in
the playoffs. Until then, Hey, Lebron, you want to get
in the owners club, roll around with these white guys.
(26:02):
Better think about what you're doing here. Better think about
it being your best behavior. I don't like the photo
of you with the backwards baseball cap in the All
Star Game.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
You're doeting a live guy. Birthday of the Day coming
up next. All right, everybody, thank you for listening, and
good night and good luck. Yes, because you've got Clippers
this afternoon, taking on the Pistons. Oh, Washington State's most
(26:42):
proud of love. The Clippers are taking on the Pistons
on their Midwest trip, which is not faring so well
for the sailboat known as the Clippers. Tip offpos at
four and that means we're gone, gone before the show
would have ever started, leaving Matt reeling and swerving into
(27:02):
the loneliest Midwestern evening right here on a five seventy
LA Sports. Now tomorrow we will have some Dodger action.
So that's fun because people are excited, mate. I would
just venture to say more excited about the Dodgers than
they are about the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Feels like it, even out here in Indianapolis, feels like
the Dodgers. Believe it or not, The Clippers were here
on Sunday early evening and yet still felt like more
Dodger action in the three one seven you go back
to Indianapolis than there was on the Clippers. That clipper ship,
that clipper ship is taken on water, I think, is
(27:41):
what we're saying.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
So tomorrow we have a full show and we'll be
on after the Dodger game. The first couple we ran
went a little long, but we'll see. We'll be ready
to pounce whenever it's over. Or actually there'll be a
Rogan and Rodney contingency tomorrow because of the four hour show.
This has been scared talk on the Petrosen Money Show
(28:02):
on LA schedule live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, podcastable
and stream it there and hit the button so you
could be notified whenever The Petrosen Money Show squeezes out content.
But right now it's time for some of that content
with the dead Guy Birthday of the Day.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Well your dead guy birthday today, Kates. Let's go Australian Newsday.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
It's Kip and this is Petro's and Money's Australian News Nuthard.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
That's your Australian show of record. How about the father
of and the author of the Australian Constitution.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
We have the author of the Australian National Anthem last.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Week exactly, and so we've got to be consistent. This
is not quite Waltzing Matilda, much more legal ease. Hence
the Silverchair Happy one and seventy seven and threw Angel Clark.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
The complexity of Silverchair's legal lyrics widely known throughout the
Indian Ocean.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
He was born in Hobart, Tasmania. His father, Alex was
a Schoolish engineer, and he followed him into that profession.
He apprentice. He took the humble local outlet that dad
had built and turned it into a national buzzsaw of
business and iron foundry, the industrial design, construction of flour mills,
water mills, coal mines, and he did it all. But
(29:38):
he grew up during the time of the American Civil
War and emancipation. In Tasmania, former slavery had just been
abolished about a decade prior, and Clark decided, inspired by
the American Civil War and emancipation, that he wanted to
help the transition for these slaves that had been freed
over there. I became fascinated by all things American. So
(30:01):
while he's building the industrial complex of the country and
the continent, he's editing the journal Quadrilateral. He's a member
of what he established called the American Club and in
their annual address to the group said, quote, we have
met here tonight in the name of the principles which
were proclaimed by the founders of the Anglo American Republic,
(30:23):
and we do so because we believe those principles to
be permanently applicable to the politics of the world.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Is that us, the Anglo American?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
That's us? He said, I want Australia to be like America.
So he just left the business that he built. He
studied law. He was called to the bar in eighteen
seventy seven. His movements that he pushed, along with his
development of the Australian Constitution as he was elected to
(30:54):
the House of Assembly, were based on a trip he
came to America Peece and he connected with Oliver Wendell
Holmes Junior and they developed a friendship and he brought
it back. He became Attorney General. He was elected to
the House of Assembly, suffrage, fixed term parliaments, electoral reform.
(31:16):
His goal was to break the power of property politics,
legalizing trade unions, preventing cruelty to animals. Come on, that's American.
You know what it looks like in Greece when you
see them dogs walking around the street. You've talked about it.
We don't do that in America.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Okay, well, okay, I don't think it. I mean it's
a European thing and widely there's a lot of stray animals.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
He said that the nation needed to protect children from
neglect and abuse.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Now what they do with the homeless, I have no idea.
They just coop them up and put them on some
islands somewhere.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Now, I will say he tried to implement universal suffrage.
Most of the things he pushed flew right through. But
they said, and i'll go all that.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Chance to do that? Set out pack at you.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
For he was able to get a system of proportional
representation atop adopted by the parliament. Uh. He never became
that rich because of his generosity. He refused to accept
anything beyond a reasonable and modesty.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
That's odd for a politician's eighty billion dollars on a
two hundred thousand dollars. What happened do you? When do
you get paid?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
There?
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Nancy? About to eighty somebody somebody gave you a stock
tip there, so what do you got? Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:46):
He did change the Auscie government for the better left
the lasting legacy. So happy birthday, Andrew Clark.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Well, it's a real Barry Crocker without the silver chair.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Let you have the Sheilas now.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Well, come on now, you listened to you beating out
the big face did speaking of Sheila's beating out the
big faced Jamaican dancehall star Cecil and Cecil does have
a baby with Christopher Martin, the real.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
One, no doubt, the real one, the fake one.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
This is so real. And you you were out the
other day and it was Christopher Martin's birthday and I
danced on your grave. So I killed Chris Martin.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I would have never allowed it.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
You would have. You would have been very staunchly against it.
I know what they're say.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
When Hartman's away, the callers have this calls their say,
I'm not doing any prep beating them out.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Is author and Southern Gothic writing star and a lot
of movies and stuff. In the same vein as Carson mccullors.
Who we celebrated last week is Gillian Flynn. It's fifty
four years old today from Kansas City. Let's go che
(34:09):
daughter of some academic types. Let's go Cheese. She went
to Bishop Mees high school the mech Let's Go Stags,
Let's Go Cheese. She went to Kansas.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Rock Chock Jayhawk, calling their game on Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
At Northwestern Who UCLA plays next. She studied journalism, worked
for US News and World Report, and Entertainment Weekly as
a TV critic. While doing that, she started writing. Her
first novel. Became a series much later that I watched
(34:49):
and was very creeped out by but also intrigued. Was
with Amy Adams called Sharp Objects. Oh. I love that,
deeply disturbing psychological thriller. She won several awards for that.
Me and her first book got positive reviews. Two thousand
and six or second novel was about the satanic panic
(35:10):
of the eighties called Dark Places. That became a movie
with Charlis Thorne.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah, I saw that too. That's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Yeah. More criticized for being implausible and dull, but Matt
liked it.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
I thought it was very realistic and exciting.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
On the contrary, I feel differently that one's becoming in
development to become a series for HBO. Everything this Lady
pumps out and becomes a thing. She's most known for
her twenty twelve book Gone Girl, Oh, which in twenty
fourteen became a movie, which is like, it's really like
(35:50):
the Kelly Stafford story.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
From what I understand, is that right? Yes, that wasn't
aware of it was the Kelly Stafford story soon to
be though.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Flynn wrote the screenplay too for the Baffleck movie and
was nominated for a Golden Globe. She's now working on
The Five hundred Foot Woman with Tim Burton, among other things. Okay,
you know they're going to remake everything, you know math.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Yeah, they've kind of run out of ideas for original stuff,
so let's just go back to the other REMAKEX.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
For those of you that don't know what Southern Gothic is,
and for years I didn't know. I looked it up
a while back. I think when I saw sharp Objects
or something like that. Southern Gothic is, like, you know,
William Faulkner, a lot of these guys right like that.
It's in the South. Usually there's very distinct, odd characters,
(36:46):
and then there's some very grotesque, terrible thing happening and
some very odd circumstance, but something disgusting and grotesque or horrifying.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Like Charlie stre On an Amy Adams.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Well where do you see the five hundred foot woman.
She's working on a founder attractive. She's working on a
new novel for a short story she wrote. There's a
film adaptation called Grown Up, which is about a whack
(37:26):
house okay, where the chicks got.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Like she does the Justin Tucker story.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
She gives out whack house things. She gives out wax,
but under the guise of like a tarot card reader,
spiritual palms. Yeah, she's married.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Gotta take care of you here and then I'm gonna
take well.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
You go in there like, hey, I'm gonna get my palms. Right,
that's not really why you're there.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
She married a Chicago lawyer. They have two kids. Gillian
Flipp no relation to former Syracuse guard Johnny Flynn taking
ahead of stuff. Curry, Yeah, enjoyed Tim Kakes on Spectrum
Sports Net tonight. Enjoy the Clipper game. We'll be back
(38:28):
on tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
You have to get in there. You sorry, you have
of talking about the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
We don't trust you sitting down here with the long Dons.
We need we need a s a Cesar Milan type
to keep the loan dog. We'll be back with marn

on a five seventy LA Sports. We will follow with
a four hour show that day, not a minute sooner,
So you better be on standby. All right, all.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Right, you know, but I'm kind of, you know, hoping.
I was wishing that we could get a launch pad
in but apparently it's not happening this week because we
got Rogan and Rodney on ten minute standby or whatever.
But I'd like to think if there's gonna be like
five minute differential, we can cut them loose and then
get the launch in Cape Canavral ready to go, uh
(02:00):
fire up the rocket and and launch into the stratosphere.
I thought maybe that could be a I guess, you know,
maybe wishful thinking.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I guess, yeah. I mean, I just like the idea
of an eight minute Rogan and Rodney show.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Well, I know, Matt, but you know that doesn't that
doesn't get us into into the stratosphere. It's not fun
for the launchers. Keeps grounded on a launch yeah, a
lot of people are really into it. All right, It's
time for the word of the day.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
His words the word of the day.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
You know. Tim Katz is on TV tonight. I feel
like I can. That's getting kicked down the road, like
real hard on the back of the head. Uh right,
in the back of the head. That's how it feels,
all right. Today's word of the day is victory. Yes,
U c l A. They did a Bill Walton game
on CBS on Sunday, Matt. It had a spawns, it
(02:59):
had a spaw westcom but it was nice. The dead
music was prevalent throughout both broadcasts. Grateful Dead. I monitored
both broadcasts, Iron Eagle and Bill Raftery and Absolute A
Plus announcing crew calling the game. The Bruins beat the Buckeyes.
(03:21):
Mick Cronin got his five hundred and win, youngest ever
reached that at fifty three. The Walton family was there,
so was HEP Cronin. Great feelings all around. You would
never know that just last week, after blowing the game
to the golfers, Mick was going to throttle poor Josh
(03:41):
Lewin and admonish the poor fans reaction to the misfree throws.
A ha, and you know what, I'm watching this one.
I did see the front end of a one in
one or two I missed and I did not hear.
Ah ah, maybe it was the Walt vibe. Everybody was
(04:03):
in a good mood. I don't know, maybe because they
had a lead. But ah, he did almost send last
week Josh Lewin to Mars to shoot free throws. But
you would have never known that that had happened. Everybody
was joyful. And Matt here is coach in postgame defending,
(04:23):
you know, because Coach has taken some incoming this.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Year, certainly from going after the players, going after Lewin.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
From evil people like j Billis and David Passe, people
with evil intent. And I'm here with a flaming sword
at the gates of Eden to protect me. Cronin here
here he is, and so are you, Matt.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
You're never gonna make everybody happy.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Dreg could blowed back for a lot of stuff. Way
it is, Wait it is. I don't worry about that stuff.
And don't I worry about when Sky and Eric are
twenty eight? Not right now? Are they going to say
that I.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Care about him enough to be hard on him and
try to teach him right from wrong, And sometimes I
say stuff I shouldn't say.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I'm well aware of that.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I can be too hard on okay, but I'd rather
err on that side because I wake up worrying about
what they think when they're twenty eight, not when they're eighteen.
When they're twenty eight. What was Mick Cronin all about him?
Did he let me do things I shouldn't have been
doing just because I was scoring points for him? Or
did he sit me down and try to change my
ways as a man? And to me, that's way more
(05:30):
important than winning five hundred?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Thanks guys, Oh all right, thanks guys. Oh Matt. I
hope McK cronin has that job forever. What would we
do with I can't imagine we lived in a world
without him. What would we do for content? I mean,
he is a machinet of content and a friend. Oh
(05:58):
God bless him, God bless that irishman.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Here's my number number of the day. We know you care, coach.
We know on the Petros and Money show that you care.
We're well aware that never take a shut kidd me
clear to not renumber The day is fifty. That's been
the talk so far out here in Indianapolis, fifty million
dollars minimum Matthew Stafford deal is likely to get done here.
(06:23):
Either less Need and Stafford's agent, Jimmy Sexton are going
to get this thing figured out, or they're going to
discover that a team is willing to pay this guy
way more than the Rams had anticipated and originally had
any interest in paying him, and we'll have to settle
on some sort of draft compensation. It sounds like the
Rams played a hand that perhaps they should not have
(06:43):
if they wanted him to come back, by suggesting to
Stafford that fifty million bucks a year at thirty seven
year old, at thirty seven years old, with his injury
history was going to be awfully hard to find on
the open market and therefore hard for the Rams to justify.
So they gave his agent, Jimmy Sexton andpportunity to go
out and see what the market looked like. Then come back,
let us know, and let's see if we can find
(07:04):
a number that we're both comfortable with and be on
the same page. We like working with Matthew, we want
him to be our quarterback. You won a Super Bowl here,
but let's make sure the money's right, and well, sounds
like there's teams that are saying, fifty million bucks Matthew Stafford,
No problem, let's go, We're ready. So the Steelers, the Giants,
the Browns, the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Oh, I might have gotten a text today from a
former brown quarterback who did text? Where will they get
a load of Kelly Stafford at Cleveland? I'm not gonna
say who it was.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, I wonder hold on got a clumb under all
this weight?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Give me a second.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Now, I'm as far as the brown I don't know
how the Browns fit fifty million bucks of Matthew Stafford
onto their books with the Deshaun Watson contract. But way,
if a former Browns quarterback thinks that, wait, do they
get a load of kellyes Zaford out of here? Perhaps
they are a contender. I know the Raiders got over
one hundred million bucks in salary space to spend. Pete
(08:01):
Carroll is not thirty seven. He's seventy three, so probably
not all that enamored with the idea of drafting one
of two rookies that are each called projects, and probably
would take a couple of seasons to figure it out.
In cam Ward and should Door Sanders.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
He's gonna get more money on the open market. Is
that what you're alleging?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Way more they I don't think.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Stafford said she loves an adventure.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I love an adventure. So the Giants have a head
coach and a general manager that are probably getting fired
if they don't make a run at the playoffs and
at least challenge in their division. With three really good
teams the Commanders, the Eagles, and the Cowboys in there,
Matthew Stafford, Malik Naver's got that going. Maybe draft Ashed
and Gentie at number three, that'd be pretty damn exciting.
(08:43):
Of course, the Steelers regularly have one of the best
defenses in the league, one of the best coaches in
the league at Mike Tomlin, just have not had a
quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger retired. So now you can chase
a super Bowl there. The good thing about this is
it feels like both sides lose, right Like the Rams
who thought they were the smartest kid in class. We're like, yoh,
(09:06):
let's see you figure out this problem. They were like, Yeah,
all these teams are gonna pass fifty million bucks. A
salary cap is gonna be three hundred million dollars next year,
so we're good, We'll give them fifty million dollars and
now they're gonna have to figure that out and eat
some crow there. Or Matthew Stafford if they say, yeah,
we're good and just bringing to Aaron Rodgers and you know,
do that thing. Or Sam Darnold seemed to work pretty
(09:28):
well with Kevin O'Connell, who runs the McVeigh system and
was McK mcvay's quarterbacks coach. It's good there. And then
Kelly Stafford gets to move to Pittsburgh or gets to
move to Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
That's that's when a Pittsburgh's a nice town.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Right, She'll love it there, or think about.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I don't know much about Cleveland, Mattie. You know, I've
never visited the state of Ohio at all, but I
want to go to Cleveland. Well, Pittsburgh too nice.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Where I really want her to go because I know
what type of entertainment she likes, based on what type
of entertainment has been in the sweet around her and
her family. I think Las Vegas would be really nice
for her.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
That's a wholesome town for her.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I think she could find some wholesome family fun in
a city like Las Vegas. So good luck to the Staffords,
good luck to the Rams, good luck to the teams
they're willing to trade for him and his fifty plus
million dollar contract that he is destined to earn next year.
May all the millions go to higher production costs for
Kelly Stafford's podcast. That is so g darn compelling. God,
(10:29):
I hope they move next door to like a porn mogul?
What do you do? Have you ever heard of Vivid
last Fry? Here's some free DVDs. I was gonna send
them to Tony Bruno, but I lost his address.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I act in a lot of my pictures. You'll see
a lot of cummings and goings here. Ah, all right, Roddy.
Speaker 1 (10:53):

all will begin tomorrow. So tomorrow's four hour show chalk
full down. We did do the Matthew Stafford stuff there
(13:13):
in the but the freak list from Bruce Feldman all
of that stuff tomorrow today. Since I stayed up until
midnight Chicago time watching the Lakers beat the absolute piss
out of the Nuggets. We talk Lakers knocking off their
nemesis Denver at mile high no lesson with Luca Lebron,
(13:35):
Austin Reeves all besting the Big three of Jokic, Murray
and Aaron Gordon's humiliating them, sending a message, do not
be fooled by future odds favoring us over you in
the postseason. That is not a Las Vegas built in
myopic Laker fan adjustment. These Lakers, when the offense is right,
(13:59):
could be an absolute lude bayer for other teams to
try to figure out.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I made the comment last week and here I am
maybe having to eat a little bit of it. Uh
jj Reddick supposed to be some coaching genius, and uh,
you just have to tip your cat the defensive.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Maybe don't react, you.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Know, don't overreact to one game one of these.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Then you're gonna have to react back the other way.
You're gonna say something like I said this last.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Week and now look at me, I'm a fool.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Yeah, well you know you know what I'm saying, Matt. Yeah,
you end up chasing your money at the strat with
wild eyes. But don't let me get in your way, dude, No, no, no, no, no,
it's fair.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I need to bounce these things off people to make
sure I don't step on my d over and over
and over again.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I was wildly impressed, though, you know, everybody wildly impressed.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Why I really stepped on your d in that one.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Twenty years of d stepping around here, that's pretty much.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
It's like a dance the uh wildly impressed.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
It's like watching two black girls jump rope at this
point with all the freaking cadences, sorry.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Go ahead, the waves of defenders that he threw at
Yoki ch'all game long, constantly waiting before double or triple team.
He worked perfectly force turnovers led to the team fighting
their ass off for fifty fifty balls. They got runouts.
Luca's incredible vision basketball intelligence to guide them to their
most impressive win of the season. That is what it
was on Saturday. So I want to make sure I
(15:25):
give everyone there just to before I throw a little
bit of salt, a little bit of salt. Who's that guy?
The uh?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
The is?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
He is he Chilean or Rubying? He's a Turk. The
guy that throws the salt.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
The guy that drops the salt in a very stottish way, Yeah,
in a very stylish before you drop that Himalayan pink salt.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Before I drop the want.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
To give them their bill Ryder fresh flowers, fresh flowers.
It's such a great feeling to go after your kick
ass and poker with your brother, to go into the
lagio and fresh flowers.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Feel those flowers knocked off. Whoever JJ came help help
me with this.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
My brother Michael Ryable right away well as a flowers
rush flowers.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Reddick came right out and said it. Lucas the primary
ball handler. He's going to handle the balls. He's gonna
handle all the balls. Team will be at his best
when he leads him. Others are playing off them, and
Lebron and Austin Reeves supplement or be the side dishes
to Luca's main course. There was no pushback from Lebron
after that statement. When he was made aware of it,
he used the quarterback to wide receiver analogy, saying, hey,
(16:29):
lucas the better quarterback, I'm the better wide receiver. Let's go.
Everything's on course again after again their biggest win of
the season, So why not feel good about it? Why
not everybody celebrate everybody else? It's clearly was not the
case for Luca in the two games against the Jazz.
The one against the Hornets really didn't get him to
uh to settle in look like the Luca that we
were used to seeing. Needed it to be. Maybe that
(16:51):
first Lakers showdown with two times potentially three time MVP
and someone was often mentioned in the same sentence as
Dancich is the best player in the game, Nikola Jokic
going head to head, or as the Mad Dog likes
to call him, Chokitch Nikola minus eleven Luca plus twenty.
He hunted Jamal Murray, He made a fool of him
in the post he had stepped back threes, basically did
(17:13):
what we had all been waiting for since he put
on a Laker jersey, put on the absolute quintessential Luca
Doncic basketball performance. So what happened? Why did it happen?
Why did it happen on Saturday night? Well, it goes
to something that we talked about last week. Whomen were
playing that audio from PK Suban and the folks taking
their shots at Lebron and the NBA. You mentioned he's
(17:35):
got rabbit ears. I mentioned it's clear he probably heard
that rant based on how he decided to play that
following game in Portland forty points, thirty six minutes, busting
his ass out there on defense, the signature slam celebration
of Lebron by everyone everywhere, as head coach using kid
Lingo saying, no, I'm glazing him right now, man, something
(17:57):
stupid like that. Austin Reeves bombing the post game interview,
freaking out, telling Lebron, how amazing you are, man, all
the talking heads on the weekend shows saying how ridiculous
it is that Lebron's.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Doing this at forty legacy talk legacy, tallegacy man chasing ghosts,
still one of the five to ten best players in
the league.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Lebron got what he wanted. He got the conversation to
shift from the Lebron sucks because he misplayed the All
Star game bs. And remember, there is nothing genuine about
this individual. It is always a means to an end.
And for the first time in a long time, he
(18:39):
realized that the fifty to fifty nature or maybe fifty
five to forty five on the positive side for him
of his polarizing basketball existence is beginning to tilt in
the wrong direction. It was clear that that was starting
to happen when you got the guys that are typically
laying it down for you, not the the the Lebron
(19:00):
sexual Sorry to our friends, didn't you know the Lebron
boot liquors. But those that you know can go either
way and tend to go Lebron's way, they were going
the other way. After he missed that game winner against
the horn check that two game winners against the Hornets
with Lucas standing, They're wide open waiting for a pass.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Yeah, I mean, it's probably like politics. You got your
forty five on one side. They hate Lebron and it
doesn't matter what he does. Maybe you're forty five on
the other side, and they're fighting over that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Middle that middle ten, exactly right, and there the why
do I get the middle ten?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
They're the ones that like, oh he seemed to have
he really took a backseat to Luca this one. Are
they gonna go with Lebron? They are the undecided voter of.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
The NBA exactly right, exactly right. Lebron is curren favor
to the undecided voter.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And I think so he loses when he doesn't show
up in the Blaze Pizza.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
That's right. He hears this, that's coming out one for
twenty nine zero for your last twenty one in game
winning or game time situations since you've been on the Lakers,
And I think he realized, did some inventory, some internal inventory,
and realized Luca doesn't work in Los Angeles. It ain't
(20:19):
gonna be because of Luca. He's way too good. He
has already been crowned as one of the best players
in the NBA and he's only twenty five years old.
He's gonna be twenty six and four days twenty five
years old. And this guy has made five All NBA
First teams already, not one, and it was maybe a
fluke five. Those are not All Star appearances. Those are
(20:39):
all NBA First teams that are almost impossible to make.
To put it in perspective, Dirk Nowitzki, in the conversation,
is one of the best players of his era, made
four All NBA First teams in his entire career. Dwayne
Wade and Scottie Pippen combined for five All NBA First
teams and their careers, and Luca already has five of
(21:00):
them at twenty five years old. So if this goes sideways,
this is not on Luca. This will be on Lebron
for screwing this thing up, for dominating the ball, for
forcing Luca to adapt to him instead of the forty
year old adapting to the twenty five year old All
NBA First teamer in each of the last five years,
there would be absolutely zero other explanation to it. He
(21:24):
would wear it, and if he's in the mood for sabotage,
I can can't guarantee you, but I would believe if,
as you pointed out, that's what he was doing at
the All Star Game, being a saboteur and he continues
to bitch and moan and pitch a fit against the
Hornets by dominating the ball and almost freezing Luca out.
(21:46):
A little bit might have been conveyed to him that he, hey, Lebron,
since you've already planted your flag behind the scenes as
the future owner of the Las Vegas NBA expansion team
when that's ready to launch, and that anybody that wants
to get in on that is going to have to
cut you in on a sizeable percentage of ownership. You
can't have to start playing nice and start playing nice
(22:08):
with the owners. There ain't no way you're taking this
out on Adam Silver if you're pissed off at him,
as you mentioned, looked like that could be the case
at the All Star Break and the All Star Game.
Jeanie Buss, for all of her detractors, she and Adam
Silver are very close and she has got a lot
of pull in those NBA offices in midtown Manhattan. So
(22:30):
don't think for a second that you run your little
pissy fit here. You really want to go down that.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Road, that's your second piss of the cheese pissy fit. Sorry,
I mean, my god, I mean you know you've really
fired up about Lebron.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
You better play nice. You better make sure Luca the
All NBA first team or that we all know he
is looks like that between now and mid April.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Like you, sad Matt. I mean, nobody's more reactionary than
Lebron and his people. Nobody has bigger rabbit ears than
Lebron or his people. And it's all great when it
goes well, like it did against Denver on Saturday. But
these things inevitably don't last. I mean, it's a wild league.
(23:14):
And when how will adversity affect this very fragile house
of cards with them trying to adhere to Luca deal
with Lebron and his weird legacy obsession and everything that
comes along with having Lebron and his building, including having
(23:35):
his son on the team, I mean, and then jaj Ning,
who's volatile as the coach. I mean, it's great if
it's going well, and if it continues to go well,
it's going to be great. But I don't know, I
don't know if things don't consistently go well, I I'm
not sure who gets the blame or where it goes
or how it explodes. But man, what a volatile mix.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
It could be that volatile mix, that perfect volatile me.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Am I reading crack and the contest?
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Am I gonna step I'm a d again?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Uh, it's just you're right.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I mean, look, it looks good to do this game.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah. For me, it's even just the comments. The OLA's
the quarterback, I'm the wide receiver. JJ redd Can you
believe jj Reddick just came out and said it. Basically
told Lebron he said, yeah, that conversation was already had
behind the scenes. I can tell you, hey, b Hey, Lebron,
this is what I'm gonna say. Yeah, say that. JJ,
That's good. I'm good with that. Go on say that,
and then you know what, I'm gonna follow that up
by saying I'm a wide receiver. And he's of course.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I understand what you're saying about. Like you know, I'm
not saying that they're gonna not adhere to Luca. I'm
just saying just having all those people in the same
place where there's wins and losses that judges everything. Of
course they should play through through Luka Doncic. That doesn't
mean they're gonna win the championship. For God's sakes, no,
I mean, maybe it does. I don't know, but if
it doesn't, there will be some kind of failure. And
(24:59):
whenever there's failure, Lebron as a lifelong career long sabbageol.
I mean you could you could argue that he's been
sabotaging things for his whole career, So you know, I.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Think you could make a compelling case.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
In then it'll be interesting to see how how it
all plays out.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Well, good luck to them as they make their as
they make their run through the not the dog days,
but the sprint, I believe is what they call it,
through their sprint to the end of the season. The
upcome feb game tomorrow that was supposed to be a
big celebration of v Luca versus Anthony Davis Mavericks versus
(25:40):
Lakers has certainly been sidetracked a little bit with the
unsurprising Anthony Davis groin injury. So we'll have to wait
for a repeat of that one should they meet in
the playoffs. Until then, Hey, Lebron, you want to get
in the owners club, roll around with these white guys.
(26:02):
Better think about what you're doing here. Better think about
it being your best behavior. I don't like the photo
of you with the backwards baseball cap in the All
Star Game.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
You're doeting a live guy. Birthday of the Day coming
up next. All right, everybody, thank you for listening, and
good night and good luck. Yes, because you've got Clippers
this afternoon, taking on the Pistons. Oh, Washington State's most
(26:42):
proud of love. The Clippers are taking on the Pistons
on their Midwest trip, which is not faring so well
for the sailboat known as the Clippers. Tip offpos at
four and that means we're gone, gone before the show
would have ever started, leaving Matt reeling and swerving into
(27:02):
the loneliest Midwestern evening right here on a five seventy
LA Sports. Now tomorrow we will have some Dodger action.
So that's fun because people are excited, mate. I would
just venture to say more excited about the Dodgers than
they are about the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Feels like it, even out here in Indianapolis, feels like
the Dodgers. Believe it or not, The Clippers were here
on Sunday early evening and yet still felt like more
Dodger action in the three one seven you go back
to Indianapolis than there was on the Clippers. That clipper ship,
that clipper ship is taken on water, I think, is
(27:41):
what we're saying.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
So tomorrow we have a full show and we'll be
on after the Dodger game. The first couple we ran
went a little long, but we'll see. We'll be ready
to pounce whenever it's over. Or actually there'll be a
Rogan and Rodney contingency tomorrow because of the four hour show.
This has been scared talk on the Petrosen Money Show
(28:02):
on LA schedule live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, podcastable
and stream it there and hit the button so you
could be notified whenever The Petrosen Money Show squeezes out content.
But right now it's time for some of that content
with the dead Guy Birthday of the Day.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Well your dead guy birthday today, Kates. Let's go Australian Newsday.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
It's Kip and this is Petro's and Money's Australian News Nuthard.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
That's your Australian show of record. How about the father
of and the author of the Australian Constitution.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
We have the author of the Australian National Anthem last.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Week exactly, and so we've got to be consistent. This
is not quite Waltzing Matilda, much more legal ease. Hence
the Silverchair Happy one and seventy seven and threw Angel Clark.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
The complexity of Silverchair's legal lyrics widely known throughout the
Indian Ocean.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
He was born in Hobart, Tasmania. His father, Alex was
a Schoolish engineer, and he followed him into that profession.
He apprentice. He took the humble local outlet that dad
had built and turned it into a national buzzsaw of
business and iron foundry, the industrial design, construction of flour mills,
water mills, coal mines, and he did it all. But
(29:38):
he grew up during the time of the American Civil
War and emancipation. In Tasmania, former slavery had just been
abolished about a decade prior, and Clark decided, inspired by
the American Civil War and emancipation, that he wanted to
help the transition for these slaves that had been freed
over there. I became fascinated by all things American. So
(30:01):
while he's building the industrial complex of the country and
the continent, he's editing the journal Quadrilateral. He's a member
of what he established called the American Club and in
their annual address to the group said, quote, we have
met here tonight in the name of the principles which
were proclaimed by the founders of the Anglo American Republic,
(30:23):
and we do so because we believe those principles to
be permanently applicable to the politics of the world.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Is that us, the Anglo American?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
That's us? He said, I want Australia to be like America.
So he just left the business that he built. He
studied law. He was called to the bar in eighteen
seventy seven. His movements that he pushed, along with his
development of the Australian Constitution as he was elected to
(30:54):
the House of Assembly, were based on a trip he
came to America Peece and he connected with Oliver Wendell
Holmes Junior and they developed a friendship and he brought
it back. He became Attorney General. He was elected to
the House of Assembly, suffrage, fixed term parliaments, electoral reform.
(31:16):
His goal was to break the power of property politics,
legalizing trade unions, preventing cruelty to animals. Come on, that's American.
You know what it looks like in Greece when you
see them dogs walking around the street. You've talked about it.
We don't do that in America.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Okay, well, okay, I don't think it. I mean it's
a European thing and widely there's a lot of stray animals.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
He said that the nation needed to protect children from
neglect and abuse.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Now what they do with the homeless, I have no idea.
They just coop them up and put them on some
islands somewhere.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Now, I will say he tried to implement universal suffrage.
Most of the things he pushed flew right through. But
they said, and i'll go all that.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Chance to do that? Set out pack at you.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
For he was able to get a system of proportional
representation atop adopted by the parliament. Uh. He never became
that rich because of his generosity. He refused to accept
anything beyond a reasonable and modesty.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
That's odd for a politician's eighty billion dollars on a
two hundred thousand dollars. What happened do you? When do
you get paid?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
There?
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Nancy? About to eighty somebody somebody gave you a stock
tip there, so what do you got? Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:46):
He did change the Auscie government for the better left
the lasting legacy. So happy birthday, Andrew Clark.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Well, it's a real Barry Crocker without the silver chair.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Let you have the Sheilas now.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Well, come on now, you listened to you beating out
the big face did speaking of Sheila's beating out the
big faced Jamaican dancehall star Cecil and Cecil does have
a baby with Christopher Martin, the real.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
One, no doubt, the real one, the fake one.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
This is so real. And you you were out the
other day and it was Christopher Martin's birthday and I
danced on your grave. So I killed Chris Martin.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I would have never allowed it.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
You would have. You would have been very staunchly against it.
I know what they're say.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
When Hartman's away, the callers have this calls their say,
I'm not doing any prep beating them out.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Is author and Southern Gothic writing star and a lot
of movies and stuff. In the same vein as Carson mccullors.
Who we celebrated last week is Gillian Flynn. It's fifty
four years old today from Kansas City. Let's go che
(34:09):
daughter of some academic types. Let's go Cheese. She went
to Bishop Mees high school the mech Let's Go Stags,
Let's Go Cheese. She went to Kansas.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Rock Chock Jayhawk, calling their game on Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
At Northwestern Who UCLA plays next. She studied journalism, worked
for US News and World Report, and Entertainment Weekly as
a TV critic. While doing that, she started writing. Her
first novel. Became a series much later that I watched
(34:49):
and was very creeped out by but also intrigued. Was
with Amy Adams called Sharp Objects. Oh. I love that,
deeply disturbing psychological thriller. She won several awards for that.
Me and her first book got positive reviews. Two thousand
and six or second novel was about the satanic panic
(35:10):
of the eighties called Dark Places. That became a movie
with Charlis Thorne.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah, I saw that too. That's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Yeah. More criticized for being implausible and dull, but Matt
liked it.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
I thought it was very realistic and exciting.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
On the contrary, I feel differently that one's becoming in
development to become a series for HBO. Everything this Lady
pumps out and becomes a thing. She's most known for
her twenty twelve book Gone Girl, Oh, which in twenty
fourteen became a movie, which is like, it's really like
(35:50):
the Kelly Stafford story.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
From what I understand, is that right? Yes, that wasn't
aware of it was the Kelly Stafford story soon to
be though.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Flynn wrote the screenplay too for the Baffleck movie and
was nominated for a Golden Globe. She's now working on
The Five hundred Foot Woman with Tim Burton, among other things. Okay,
you know they're going to remake everything, you know math.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Yeah, they've kind of run out of ideas for original stuff,
so let's just go back to the other REMAKEX.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
For those of you that don't know what Southern Gothic is,
and for years I didn't know. I looked it up
a while back. I think when I saw sharp Objects
or something like that. Southern Gothic is, like, you know,
William Faulkner, a lot of these guys right like that.
It's in the South. Usually there's very distinct, odd characters,
(36:46):
and then there's some very grotesque, terrible thing happening and
some very odd circumstance, but something disgusting and grotesque or horrifying.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Like Charlie stre On an Amy Adams.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Well where do you see the five hundred foot woman.
She's working on a founder attractive. She's working on a
new novel for a short story she wrote. There's a
film adaptation called Grown Up, which is about a whack
(37:26):
house okay, where the chicks got.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Like she does the Justin Tucker story.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
She gives out whack house things. She gives out wax,
but under the guise of like a tarot card reader,
spiritual palms. Yeah, she's married.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Gotta take care of you here and then I'm gonna
take well.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
You go in there like, hey, I'm gonna get my palms. Right,
that's not really why you're there.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
She married a Chicago lawyer. They have two kids. Gillian
Flipp no relation to former Syracuse guard Johnny Flynn taking
ahead of stuff. Curry, Yeah, enjoyed Tim Kakes on Spectrum
Sports Net tonight. Enjoy the Clipper game. We'll be back
(38:28):
on tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
You have to get in there. You sorry, you have
of talking about the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
We don't trust you sitting down here with the long Dons.
We need we need a s a Cesar Milan type
to keep the loan dog. We'll be back with marn
Midwest Week on the Petros and Muddy Show on others.
