entities that run into this or that, we opt out,
but we will opt in. Tomorrow. Dodgers Rockies first pitch
at twelve five, right here on AM five seventy. They
were chasing Otani around like a hard day's night. Maybe
that's a dated reference, like justin like Justin Bieber like, uh,
(02:16):

asked how about that, you know, rego Toby, what did
he say? Blackbird's you, Pat, It's about you, your black Beard,

little tiny bear against a whole hulking, black churning train.
Gonna be crazy. Heck on, man, we're looking forward to that.
Matt is still in Indianapolis. He took Rodney's advice and
(03:00):
went back. He went back back all the way back
to Indianapolis and he is at the Combine reporting live.
Go back to Indianapolis for the Petros and Money show.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, I'm already here. I'm gonna come back in two
weeks two for you to go back to Indianapolis.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And you will, uh I will. If you see on
Twitter there's a picture of Matt promoting today's show from
the Chargers podcast that he's out there doing and he's
all swolled up, you know, with a Travis Matthew polo on,
and he's if he had to chain it would probably
be out. He doesn't have a chain, but he's got
his his his his polo button down and Matt is
(03:40):
like looking Combine swoll like he could go out there
and get up under that two twenty five and just
juck it off.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Oh yeah, I could, really, I can check it right here.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah it could. Yeah, get thirty.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
What's that beast name that had it dropped on his throat? Oh,
Stefan Johnson, our friend, Stefan Johnson, our friend.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
From Dorsey High. Let's go don So Matt is out
there and had a night of adventure.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I'm sure too much to drink. What do you mean,
I just add too much to drink? I can't, I can't.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Well you did you stagger home?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, I mean so here's my problem. Okay, I can't
nurse beers.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
You just take it straight to the neck.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yes, I tell myself to.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
This is on the heels of a Luka Doncic story
where Luca's hookah and beer are very important to him.
As you know, the Dallas people are leaking more stories
about you know, he's gonna have some kind of health
crisis in five years. So this is very prevalent. You know,
if Luca could just nurse a beer. I'm not a
beer nurser either, Matt. You could take that over to
(04:51):
the Torrents memorial.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So, you know, so every time my bottle's empty, someone
or me orders an other one, and when it's you know,
when I'm when I'm going out and you know, back home,
we don't go out long. It's like, yeah, we go
up for dinner, I have a beer and that's it,
and I go home. Maybe I have two. Maybe, you know,
when I'm out here and everybody's hanging out.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Every once in a while, every once in a while,
you've hit a triple. I I got a triple every
once in a minute.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, And so I start counting. I'm like, oh, man,
I've had I think two zombie dusts here at dinner,
and this Elmo cold.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
And that heavy beer.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It's the heavy beer, yeah, because I can't buy the
Three Floyds. It's only it's local only they won't ship it.
I got to get the bandit in the Snowman to
run me a little little thing, so I get some
three Floids out in California. So I like to drink
it here and next thing, you know, I'm kind of like, yeah,
I've had nine beers tonight. This is a problem. It's
a big problem. And now I'm walking home by myself.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Did you pee in an alley like you did last time?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I didn't pee in an alley like I did last
time by the between the Hooters and the Omni that
I remember vividly. However, I did.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Hey, this is a quality Hooters. Get away from it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I did, ever, because I walked. I walked out by
myself and was walking home by myself, probably about three
quarters of a mile to the hotel. I did pop
into the Taco Bell.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Oh nice.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, I popped into the Taco Bell. I got two
Taco Supremes, soft Taco Supremes, and I dusted them on
the way aloforeving got to the room, just mashed them
into my face through the freaking paper into a sidewalk
trash can. Uh. And it was bad. It's just god,
I'm pathetic. I'm such a sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
What's in an Elmo's Cola?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I mean, I think it's to me. I think it's
their take on like a Manhattan or I'm sorry, on
an old fashioned. They just call it it. They put
it in a in like a soda glass, and so.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
It's so excellent.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, it's They got three Maker's Mark marinated cherries that
they drop in there. I think there's a little bit
of syrup, like a little bit of a sweet syrup,
and probably a solid two to three shots of whiskey
and then they serve it with either coke or diet coke.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I wonderful, God, I'd love to get over there.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Oh, let me tell you it was a real.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Sort I have a nervous breakdown about the flight, but
that was a real sight.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I was like, what is wrong on the second taco?
I'm just going come on, man, how.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Did the tacos mix with that hot horse radishy shrimp
cocktail sauce that soone eating at the Big ten Championship.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I definitely had the horse radish uh shrimp cocktail. I
had two of those, had some of the kalamaris?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Did you Is it true that you grabbed the calamari
right off of Daniel Jeremiah's plate, like right in front
of the owner, just pop it in there?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You know, how did it mix? Not well? And by
the way, it's still not mixing well. Let me point
that out. Did still not mixing well?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Now I'm gonna take I'm gonna take a step too
far and ask a question, not about a strip club
or wings or anything like that. Did you smoke a cigarett? No?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Okay, and that's probably because there was no one smoking.
But if I came out of that door and there's someone,
you know, sucking one down, I'd be like, hey, I'm
a square. That would have been the first half of
the walk. That's soft doggos. The breams would have been
the second.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
That might have quelled your appetite for the soft tacos.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You're right, fair, and you know, I think the soft
tacos might have done a little bit of help.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Actually, well, you know what. That's I always feel that
way too. If you're really hungover, a double Western bacon
cheeseburger knows what to do. It knows what to do
in your insides, it knows how to level you out,
like it's nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, let's balance this out. Let's let's at least I
wasn't drinking booze the guy that the you know I opened, well,
other than the yeah, the colt. That's right, that's a
good point. So I did have some booze. But you know,
the people I'm buying drinks for oh, Tito's and soda
and this, I'm like, okay, I'm kind not doing that.
I'm just drinking eight percent IPAs.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Just imagine what it's like to be Daniel Jeremiah just
to watch everybody getting drunk. People are getting stinking on
something I stir or shit. Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
And by the way, it's so we started at you know,
Harry and Izzy's, which is attached to Saint Elmo. It's
the same thing. It's just a you know, wait for
them to expand the restaurants. We start there.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Kate's was asking me about that. The other there's another one,
isn't there. It's called something.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
And that's it, Kates. It's Harry and Izzy's. So you
can get the Almo menu without having to wait in
line at Elmo. And then the guy, you know, the
Chargers digital team is considerably younger than I am. I
might be double their age.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Bill.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Okay, we're going to We're going to kill Roy's. I'm like,
we're going to where we're going to all the people
hang out at Prime and we're gonna go see a
bunch of our friends and other teams.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
No, kill Roy's.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Dude, two dollars domestics. I'm like, oh boy, this is
so in the middle of my IPAs I throw down
to two dollars domestics over the course of about fifteen
minutes before I realize Okay, this is all Butler students
and a bunch of twenty year olds and I gotta
go dog exactly. So yeah, so that's that's me who
(10:10):
brought that kind of person? I am.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I thinking about that Conway commercial where when he talked
about losing his hair and be like here you go
out people like who brought your uncle?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
That's right, that's what it was like.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Listen to this text, Matt. I literally just pulled into
a Taco Bell drive through from my wife and I
and I don't appreciate the way Matt is framing this
is something to be ashamed of.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
It's not but at one fifteen am, when you're nine
beers into the night and one Elmo colon by yourself,
it is something to be ashamed of. The entire the
entire pattern of behavior is something to be ashamed of.
That it's inexcusable for me to consume nine drinks in
one night.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
That is well, you're on the road, Matt. You know
the road is a whore. As you always get to
the road is a real whore. And everyone problem.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Can you hear it in my voice, because everybody's been like, wow,
you sound like you really had it rough.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Last night.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, I think I did sound out.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You sound like like a little a little baked.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
A little gravelly.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah, I mean you know what happened.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, it's time for the word of the day with
his words, the word of the day.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Hair of the Dog, Matt, that's what's gonna be kidding.
Today's you Can't Stop Now is coming in two hours.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
From running on. Today's word of the day is one
of the headline.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
What should the headline be today?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah, that's all we think about.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
The yellow story nobody's talking about.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
You know, I'm not a racist.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I mean I would you do?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
What's your reaction?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
He's a bad headline? What are the headlines? I watched
a Laker game last night. I think it was good
for the Lakers. They won. James Worthy, Yeah, he's going
to join us next to talk about it. Uh. After
the Eagles beat the Cheers forty to twenty two in
the Super Bowl, there's a lot of talk about Travis
Kelsey's future and his bad hair, and whether or not
(12:05):
he's gonna keep playing. Oh wow, whether or not he's
gonna play or retire. Kelsey had only four catches for
thirty nine yards and zero touchdowns. On the Super Bowl loss.
In the newest episode of his Horsecrap podcast with his
punk ass brother Jason Kelsey, Travis was asked about what
kind of music he listens to during these dark time.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Do you listen to sad music when you're depressed or
do you listen to happy music?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Jason, the only way you can find yourself in the
light is to find yourself in the dark first, right,
I listen to music that is very telling of my mood.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Yes, I go to like sad country songs.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
I just listened to Taylor's music. She has something for everything.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
That's fair. That's a good point. No matter what mood,
you can find some tailor music.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, the depth of a thimble. I am disgusting it.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I want to.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I want to.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I didn't expect him to say Nick Drake, you know,
but I don't know what I expect.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I hate everybody so deeply, so deeply. Yeah, I'm just
waiting for Jason to follow that up with, you know,
sad country from like Jason al Dean or something, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
No, just sad country. I just say sad country and
let the computer figure it out, because I'm stupid.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Why is Jason Aldean got to catch a straight from you. Huh,
because I knew to get your micro crack open case.
That's why. How you like that jerk?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Poor al Dean?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Poor?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Well get it?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Why is the old Dean kitchen strays?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Well? This' NFL thing is really out of control. I
saw a guy p in on on the hooters.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Hey, don't pee there.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
It's a crazy event.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
You shut up his hooters a pan if I want to.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It's time for the number of the number, number of
the day.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Number of the day is a hole, won me? And
just building on my adventure here if that's what you'd
want to call it, to euphemize the situation, and I can't.
I try, I try, like hell, because you point out
what a jerk I am when I judge people in
the bathroom and here I am here, I am judging again.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Did something happen at Saint Elmo's bathroom?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
No, not in the bathroom in my hotel room. So
I am on the nineteenth floor and the hotel I'm
in is taller than almost every other hotel. And you
know India, it's very compact. There's just one hotel after another.
I'm in the Marriotte. Behind me is the JW. Marriott.
Right next to this is the Western Right next to
that is the High at the Ship.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
They're all Angeles, Los Angeles. Living and growing up in
Los Angeles gives you a very skewed view of how
small all the other towns are. Right.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
You hear about these towns like a fist.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, you see the towns in a pro football game,
and you think of it as a big, sprawling town.
That is not the case.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
No, So I look down on the top floor of
the Weston, and now, for the second day in a row,
the same behavior has happened, uh in the room opposite
me and probably two stories below me. You're a voyeur, Yeah,
(15:15):
a little bit, but it's it's a voyeur it's it's
it's the imagination. It's it's the voyeurism of the imagination.
So it's a dude who rolls into his room. What
time is it here right now? It is, uh five twenty,
So he usually it's this is like an hour ago.
It happened maybe an hour and a half ago, and
the same thing yesterday. He closes his drapes like not
(15:39):
just the you know, not the shears, but like the
full on room darkening drapes. Yes, and then five to
seven minutes later he opens them again. Okay, So I'm like, okay,
what do you what are you doing? For five to
seven minutes?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Can't the guy touch himself?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Man the drake?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Are you Harvey Kellogg? Hey? More on that?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
By the way, what a day to make that reference. No,
I'm saying I don't want to judge that, but it's
it's right in front of me, because I'm I don't
want to stare at the wall in front of me
where I have the microphone set up at the desk,
so I'm staring out the window. And so now I
don't think I checked up on it yesterday.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Maybe he's changing into his suit.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
That could be it. But then again that speaks to
what a what a sad human being I am that
I immediately jump to that coesh, this dude is just
shutting the drapes, playing some pocket pool. Would it?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Would you rather watch him with a hunched back pleasure
himself looking nack like a raccoon dot in the trash?
Would you rather see that?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I'm very happy that he is aware that there's a
hotel right across from him. And he feels the need
to shut the room.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Just some guy who has to like change.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Probably maybe he's shooting a video and he needs complete organized.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Maybe he's got a prosthetic. How dare you judge that? Man?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I know I'm judging him, and I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I can't help myself. I'm a complete a hole, judgmental
a hole.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Hey, p Money's drinking stories are the best. Sounds like
a frost during rush week. That's about it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
All that's about right. Can't handle my liquor. I've got
to stop with the talk.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
You hand just went to the taco bell. Yeah, yeah,
I mean I I once I had my I was
at a friend's house. Is younger than me in the neighborhood.
I think he's a listener and uh. I came home
and I was like, hey, i'll play some music if
you want to come by. I have another beer, and
he's like, I just ordered two hundred dollars worth of
(17:49):
till taco on Doordead noted there's nothing wrong with swerving
into the talk. Sometimes I swerve under the taco bell
for a bean and cheese burrito on the way to work.
Totally sommer and you know what, Matt, I get judge
with that as well. It's time for the song of
(18:13):
the day. This is the song of the day.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Sweet Home Chicago is our song of the Day from
Jake and Elwood Blues offer the Blues Brother's original Emotion
Picture soundtrack most appropriate for a midweek super Flex alert
as the Petrosen Money Show is on a mission with
great sports talk ahead of us giving way to Clippers
basketball in the city of Chicago, hoping to break that
(18:42):
losing streak against the Bulls at United Center. And our
friend Adam Oslin is down the hall with positive juju,
getting ready for your Clippers countdown show coming up this
afternoon at four.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So, Matt, should I assume that my kids know what's
happening when i'd pull the shame aids and lock the
door down air the base.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I don't think no, But you should assume your neighbor knows.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
O goud.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Bababe Betross is at it again. This is the third
time today.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I hope that guy's listening.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
The Del Taco. Another guy crosses, Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I'm just irony. We'll be back with James Worthy like
the Dark. James Worthy will celebrate the Lakers when last
night and talk about Lucas Hookah.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
That trust some money time for our conversation with James Worthy.
It's where we raise our families, earn a living, and
enjoy life. But when the stat when disaster strikes, it
takes all of us to come together, rebuild and make
it home again. Your Southern California Ford Dealers are helping
first responders with donat and support to the LA Fire
Department in California community wildfire recovery, as well as Feeding
America and the American Red Cross. If your vehicle was
(20:08):
damaged by the recent Los Angeles area fires or Southern California,
Ford Dealers are offering you employee pricing plus no payments
for one hundred and twenty days. Because this is our
home too. It takes all of us to turn heartache
into hope, rebuild and make it home again. La Strong built,
Ford Proud.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
It's James Worthy. After a very exciting Laker game last night,
things are looking up. The Lakers go to Denver and
slay the Dragon. As you said yesterday, Matt one of
the greatest Lakers of all time, knows about the ups
and downs of a season, before and after the All
Star Break and they used to play hard in the
(20:47):
All Star Game. James Worthy, o Emmy Award winner on
Spectrum Sportsnet, a Hall of Famer and our hero on
the Petros and Money Show. What's cracking? Big Game? James?
Are you?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Oh? Good, gentlemen? How's everything?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Greverything's cool? James? You know, before we get into what
the Lakers look like and how sustainable this success is
and what a great job JJ Reddick's doing, it's interesting.
It feels like the Dallas Mavericks franchise and they were
just in town. They can't go a day without leaking
some information about, you know, how out of shape and
(21:25):
lazy Luka Doncic was when he was there. Because they're
getting so much heat for their fan base. Have you
ever seen anything like this before? I mean it seems
such a bad look. I mean, you traded him, You
traded him fine, I mean, shouldn't it be over at
this point?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Yeah? I've never seen this type of you know, persecution
of a player for no reason at all. You know,
I can't imagine there being anything more internally that happened
that it was said that we haven't heard about. Uh
(22:05):
so for Dallas to be taking this. I remember watching
the the the the the press conference with Nico and
talking about, you know, this is not the direction they
want to go in and uh the type of player
they're looking for. And I was like, well, damn, you
were just in the NBA finals last year, and you
were in the Western Conference finals before that with a
(22:28):
twenty five year old feet on. You know, I don't know,
I think that there's some new ownership there. You know,
I keep hearing all this about the new ownership wanting
to move to Vegas and but yeah, and that that
they wanted to build a casino and and and was
denied and so for that. But I just cannot believe
(22:51):
any GM would you know, I would would would say
that about a phenomenal player that no one else has
that opinion.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
About James in terms of just kind of the basketball
part of it. You know, it's in granted, it's a
small size. You know, Luca's not played a lot of games,
but did you end and you know, like a term
that they use a lot in sports is you know,
force multiplier. I mean, it certainly looks like that when
he's out there, just the level of play from the
(23:23):
players around him is raised. So dramatically. We all knew
how good he was, but did you know it was
going to look like this? And it's two games, right,
it's Denver, and it's really this one against Dallas that
we're focused on. But did you anticipate it looking like this?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
The other thing I was concerned about was how is
he going to not defer to Lebron? You know, Luca
getting trace to any other team, you don't have an
issue with coming in and taking over, but when you're
coming into Lebron, and I think the first game or two,
(24:02):
even in the press conferences, you can just see a
little jitterness as to a guy who, when he was
five years old was watching Lebron James as a rookie
and pattern himself after that. But I give credit to Lebron,
and I give credit to JJ Reddick into, you know,
(24:24):
dismissing that theory. Dude, you are the future. And Lebron
loves that, the fact that he didn't have to handle
the ball in the fourth quarter. All the time, you've
got two magic Johnson's out there. Both of them have
a third eye somewhere in their head. They can see,
so I don't even think we've seen, you know, a
(24:46):
little bit of it yet we've seen a couple, you know,
glimpses of it. But and you know, Jerry West used
to always tell us that you really don't peak until
you get you know, twenty eight, twenty nine. Uh, I
kind of saw Ad go through that from New Orleans
to the Lakers. Now he's in down. You know, he's
(25:07):
at a place where I think he's probably been more
consistent than ever. And look, it's gonna go through that
as well. And he's already given us, you know, phenomenal entertainment.
And you know, his skill set is second to none. Defensively,
he can become a big team defender. He's not gonna
(25:27):
shut anybody down. Three steals last night, four steels the
other you know. Uh so, uh, I think you know,
it's gonna work out. They're they're they're you know, offensively,
it's gonna work out. They're gonna have to become a gritty, small, scrappy, good,
consistent defensive team now. And give credit to the coaching staff,
(25:53):
uh for creating that that that defensive concept.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
The great James Worthy with us talking about a big
win last night Lakers over the Mavericks. It's Lucas first
game against his former team. I'm sure you played. I know,
you know you were a Laker your entire career, James,
but I'm sure you had teammates that that faced their
former team and Michael Thompson got traded to the Lakers
from the Blazers, things like that. But did you ever
(26:19):
you know, Lucas said he's just happy it's done with
and that that one's out of the way, and certainly
it felt like there was something hanging over on Petro's mentioned,
just the continued dragging his name through the dirt that
they don't want to relent on. Did you kind of
have those conversations with your teammates that had been traded
here and about that first game that is that a
big deal? And is it great to just kind of
finally put that behind you?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah? I mean I never was traded, but the year
that I was seriously considering being traded was to the
Dallas Mavericks from Marcaguire and Roy Tarpley. I think Doctor
Buss and the owner of the Dallas We're having a
conversation over a poker game, and you know, and so
(27:05):
I had to I had to get over that, you know,
I had to. You know, I had to get over
the fact that a man, they're trying to trade me
and we just beat the Celtish in eighty five and so.
But yeah, you know players that I talked to, you know,
one of my best friends, Mike McGee, if you go
back early eighties, got traded to New Jersey and you
(27:26):
understand this part of the game. Uh, you know, I
could imagine what Dalton is going through right now. You know,
he seems to have a little disturbance from being traded
and then been rescinded and coming back. You have to
get you have to get over that this this career
is not going to last long. And I think those
(27:46):
especially veteran players who understand that they move on to
the next house, get it furnished, get it comfortable. They
stay there as long as they can, and they might
have to move on. Some players, like myself, Kobe Magic,
you know, never had to do that. But you know
it's always conversation about it. Even Kobe, you know, never
(28:09):
thought about traded. But free agency. You know, I heard
back in the eighties there was talks about you know,
Magic to Chicago for my you know, Jerry West used
to tell me all kind of stories that GMS used
to have conversations about. And so the quicker you can,
you know, get used to, you know, knowing that this
(28:30):
is a short career and it might be at multiple places,
the better.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
The great James Worthy is our guest. A very exciting
time for Laker fans. A lot of anticipation. Of course,
it's happened before, you know, with different combinations ad coming
with Lebron, Dwight Howard and Steve Nash and Kobe teams.
Can you compare the excitement that the Laker fans have
right now seeing this product and seeing him go to
(29:00):
Denver and win and confuse jok and all that. Can
you compare this level of excitement James, I mean, you've
got your hand on the pulls.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah, man going to Denver and you know Denver. I
always refer to Jokis as to cracking, you know, release
the cracking man. And they went in there and they
came to cracking. This time with multiple players. He didn't
have anywhere to turn, he didn't have any breathing room.
(29:31):
They met him in half court. I love that kind
of defense. That's Michael Cooper sitting in Montcree. That's the
kind of defense you Byron Scott meets you full court
and just make you work. By the time you got
the ball over over court the eight seconds or ten
seconds back then, you were tired. Same thing with Jokis.
They met him in places before he could get to
(29:53):
his comfort zone. I think that's going to be the key.
I love Vanderbilt, love Kennick Smith on defense. Those guys
are you know, they have that wingspan and they're everywhere.
And Hayes is an energy guy. He might not have
the height, but he's gonna work. Ruie is turning into
(30:16):
like a little enforcer, physical guy. So if they can
take on that defensive scheme and keep it consistent, the
office is gonna flow. Everybody's gonna get shots. Gabe's gonna
get three pointers. Smith's gonna get his. You know, whoever
wants to shoot a three reads because the way Lebron
(30:41):
and Luca break down defense, especially Luca. Lebron does it
with strength and power. Luca does it almost like a snail.
He just kind of snails and rolls in there. Before
you know it, he's got you up in the air
and you're jumping and he's making all these you know,
amazing plays so be fun to watch. I hope they
(31:01):
can continue to build on that chemistry and understand spacing.
It could be something we've never seen. Two Magic Johnson's
on the floor at the same.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Time, I'll tell you amazing taking a three point shot,
having to hit the side of the backboard so it
perfectly bounces back to you and then you get yourself
a layup at an an one. That's hacking to play
right there. I mean, you want to talk about precision,
say something.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I think the guy might play for the He might
be playing for the Harlem Goals while I was in
the season. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Last one for me, James is Lebron. Let it be known,
and granted, this is not the NBA's doing. This comes
courtesy of the postponement and the rescheduling of games. Is
why the Lakers are going to play eight games in
ten days, and they've got back to back thirteen fourteen
day off, fifteen, back to back sixteen seventeen day off,
(31:52):
eighteen back to back nineteen twenty day off game on
the twenty second. It's a lot of games, is that.
I don't want to call it, yeah, Keen, but he
let it be known, like man, that's that's pretty rough
right there. Two of them are on the road, the
rest are at home. But just is that a pretty
is that pretty gnarly by scheduling standards? Is that is
that pretty rough for you to get up for and
(32:12):
try to recover from.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Welcome to the eighties, bro, Welcome to the eighties, Welcome
to the eighties. Eastern Airlines. Bruh, it's a bit munch.
It's a bit much in today's game. And you know,
I think I think it was the extension of the
All Star Game was you know, because Lebron was like, wow,
we don't have enough time after we play this game,
(32:37):
and they got like seven days now. I mean, the
All Star Game used to be, you know, you might
play your last game on a Friday if you're unlucky.
If you're lucky, you end it on a Thursday, show
up at the All Star weekend, play the game on Sunday,
off on Monday, back playing games on Tuesday. So yeah,
once these guys have gotten used to the you know,
(32:58):
the modern day schedule, it's a bit much. But hey man,
the Lakers are the team that people want to see,
so go get your job done there.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
It is not gonna get any sympathy from big game, James.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
No, hell no, let's tew some money. Let's trow somebody
ain't getting no days. All they got they got a
schedule to keep up.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
No, even though Matt was at a taco ball at
three in the morning last night, I got to answer
the bell.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
True story.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Thank you so much, James, and have a great week
and weekend and enjoy this run. It's a lot of
fun to watch in the city.
Speaker 3 (33:35):

Your idle hands just grabbing all the I p as.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I am doing the show. I'm prepping the show.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Have to worry about most definitely.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
This is a text to the tune of Tweaker for
our consideration, and it's about Matt. I'm gonna give it

Speaker 7 (37:52):
Wow, I'm pumped up from a brief I'm about to
walk into.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
And it is a let's say, good enough of it.
It's true that the Patrosen Muney Show loves to We
haven't brought this kind of energy since Tet Boys mentions
on the show so many years ago. Matt's nocturnal drunkenness
is nothing more than his inner leprechaun time clock, sensing
that he has twenty one days to shape up his
(38:30):
skinny ass for Saint Patrick's Day? Are you trying to
Are you trying to drink yourself into a stamina daddy? Matt?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Is that build my tolerance for Saint Patrick's Day? Yes?
Speaker 3 (38:40):
You know.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
I love the amateur drinking days. They are some of
my favorite New Year's Eve. Go out for a nice
bottle of champagne on Valentine's Day, I like to hit
the sand. It's like, yeah, it's a great point. Maybe
just subconsciously, I've decided that it's time for me to
build my tolerance for an all day affair, or I'm
just a miserable human being.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
No, Matt, I think you know you get out there
amongst all your colleagues. You're on the road for a
long time, owners picking up the bill in a fancy place.
You know, wrong glass, sir.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Brag it? How much for the little girl?
Speaker 1 (39:24):
The women women he's been are offensive smelling. I mean
they smell bad. We're gonna do a fun fact. We'll
have a top story. Matt's gonna keep having a lift.
I'm not doing anything. Matt's gonna come with the day,
damn energy today. He's gonna top story of the day
(39:45):
next and then Tim Kats, well, Tim's gonna call Fast Say,
Matt's gonna call the Ivy Place, and uh, we're gonna
do dead and alive. And then it's time to board
the clipper ship. Straight on until morning. Good night, everybody.
