Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, follow the Petros in Money Show wherever you get
your podcasts. Now Here's Petros Papadacus and Matt money Smith.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Words are, of course the most powerful drum used by mankind.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Petros and you guys have never used that word.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Not what It's fair. It's fair, all right, that's fair.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Thank you, John.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
We are live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app. That's right, John,
everywhere in the world.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Thank you for noticing.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
The PMS on demand is available there the Petros Money podcast.
You may procure the Petros Money Pod wherever you prefer,
but the IHEARTRADIOPP allows you to listen to our show
live in the moment through a stream. I drove a
vehicle from the Indianapolis Airport to the Chicago Midway Airport
over the span of about twenty hours, and there was

(01:27):
no AM Radio in it. And I gave it the
middle finger the whole way.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Not okay, No, that's that's the crumbling of society exactly.
You got to move to that special John Galttown when
they start taking away AM radio.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
But thankfully, the iHeartRadio App allowed me to consume all
of the iHeartRadio products that I desired, specifically the Harry
and Megan pod. I love that one.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
There were no episodes.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
The iHeartRadio App really is that perfect mix for entertainment
when you're driving in the Midwest.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
Madams sexy about a couple sharing the same soft yet powerful,
strong but sensual.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
That perfect mix, that perfect mix.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Coming up in the very next segment, we're gonna discuss
Matt the NFL Bloodhound, whose information ran us off a cliff.
Sure did Matt Stafford. Staying with the rama emanding dongs,
we'll have Michelle you. We already talked to David Vasse.
But the big story today Sonny Vacaro with a memoir
out the guy that created modern basketball in the shoe game.

(02:41):
All you dead stockheads. A lot of ground to cover
with Sonny Sonny, and we'll do that in the very
next hour. But right now it's time.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
For his words, the word of the day.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Sorry, it's time for the word of the day.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Today's word of the day is anchors Away. As we are,
of course, your nautical themed show of record. Why one
of you has not bought us an old timey giant
scuba hat for my basement? I have no idea. Maybe
I'll have started GoFundMe. You can get a freaking bunch

(03:20):
of radio fools a couple nights at the Sheraton, and
I can't get a sweet freaking scuba helmet from yesteryear.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I'm guessing Union dial by it for you. Well, put
my feelers out, put a little line in the water
so you have anything bites.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
I monitor these things because we are your Naval Academy
show of record. And who knew that Navy has a
college baseball team.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
I guess I knew that. And like the.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Awesome football uniforms that they often display, Navy Baseball has
DA viewed the Jolly Roger uniforms this week, full skull
and bones, beautiful says fear the bones on the helmet,
I would say of any specialty City Connect uniform with

(04:15):
funfetti or Lo Serpientes or the Padres celebration of the
Neon border, or south Side in Chicago or north Side
in Chica, whatever, these are the finest specialty uniforms of
all time. And I'm sure of this as sure as

(04:36):
I am that Kojak is the world's finest television show
ever made. Yeah, it's important to check out these uniforms
as an American, as a patriot. Navy baseball, Matt, I
know you want to know is two and five on
the year, okay, And right now as we speak, they're

(04:57):
playing Sacred Heart, starting a three game series with the
Sacred Heart Chambers. They are beautiful uniforms. Navy is a proud,
proud military academy, and I fully endorsed the Jolly Roger

(05:18):
Navy baseball uniforms way better than anything I've seen from
anyone else in the City Connect Specialty uniform world. And
I'm looking at you, Oregon. You played out plase yourself.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
I'm so disgusted. It's time for the Number of the day.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Here's my number. Number of the day. Number of the
day is two. Two gentlemen. Uh Serendipity was my friend
this late morning after I was able to return from
Indianapoli or Chicago technically, where I flew out of to
Long Beach via Southwest. A delightful flight, pretty much uneventful

(06:04):
save for one bit of controversy courtesy of a radio
partner sending me something via text that had a photo
that popped up on my watch.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
He was not that was totally safe for work. Don't
try to put that.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
I'm sitting in the aisle across and we looked down.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
And just because you think women of a certain weight
are disgusting doesn't mean others do.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
But after I returned home and immediately after having been
gone for a week, proceeded to take Willow of the
dog on a walk. As I walked out my gate
and made a left, was immediately presented with a pair
of gentlemen that were decked out for Frogman Friday p.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
A couple of scuba types progmen.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Couple, one sponger, one body surfer.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Oh okay, so not scuba.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Not scuba is every once.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
In a while, like out in La Jolla and stuff.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Every once in a while there's a few beaches here
and there where you know, you see the scuba guys
go walking out and then you see their weird light
under the water.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
You know exactly. This was just straight full black wetsuit.
I know you like the spongers, and I know, and
that's where I'm getting with this. So, first of all,
Daniel immediately recognizes me, introduces himself, says he's a huge
Petrosen Money Show fan and that he likes coming to
the Bjays events. He was at the last one about

(07:25):
a year and a half ago out in West Covina,
and he's looking forward to trying to get one on
the schedule this year. But he was the body surfer
and he was not carrying Churchill's. I have a pair
of Churchill fins. I believe there's another brand of fin
that you like.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
If you don't use the Churchill fins, how are you
going to get the debilitating.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Blisters exactly right? Which I can certainly speak to apparently,
and perhaps the text though so will send out some
corrections and retractions. But if I am to believe the
talk around town that as opposed to the Maury Churchill's,
the Yucca fins or what all the folks are usually

(08:05):
these stands.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Matt, there's I mean, the Churchills are like it's like
driving a VW bug At this point in the fin world,
I believe, and I don't even think it's that cool
to put on the ape gloves anymore. The aquatic propulsion
equipment swearing major hands.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Look like a duck.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Sweet.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
If you lost one of your apes, you could still
wear the one ape and use the other free hand
to hold your leash and really direct your sponge right
to get into the barrel and do the l rollo
at Cabrio Beach.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
That kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
But that kind of thing can only be done in
a spring suit, usually worn by the same guy who
is the lead singer of the greatest band of all time,
Living Color.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
That's oh, let's go body Glove forever. These gentlemen were
in all, but I don't believe they were bodyglove wetsuits.
I don't believe they were South Bay Well.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
You know, man, I don't like First of all, I
don't think the live band Living Color were South Bears.
But they recognized that the body glove is a great
wetsuit brand. Just because you're from the South Bay doesn't
mean you have to wear body Glove is a global brand, okay,
and will not have it despair it.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
I'm simply pointing out as a man, I have.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
Been on the Bodyglove boat Matt, which was popular like
in the eighties.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Was that like the breakhouse?

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, it kind of.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
It's kind of like there's like a picture of all
the lakers on the Bodyglove boat, like back in the day,
and you know they cut a.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Wide swamping the glamour boys is on a loop.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
And I remember being there, like I was in Catalina
and we like we boarded the Bodyglove boat and had
a drink with the guy who was like the Bodyglove
guy's son, and the people I was on the boat
with we were driving away or floating away or whatever.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Uh said something like it's a shame what that what
that man's allowed to because I mean, that is a
beautiful boat, and just the district.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
It's disgusting as.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
That.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
I was like, why it seemed like a nice boat.
Are you kidding me? You didn't go down to the
engine room like.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Me, Well, no, you're right, I didn't. I was just
drinking the booze. So that what I was doing. I
went down into the state room and played pocket pool
with a young lady.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Are you saying Are you saying that they were rip
curls Matt or O'Neill's true to the Orange County area.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Maybe yeah, they were. You know, I'm in a plead ignorance.
I don't know, but I think they were. They may
have been neat essentials. They were just all black. What
kind of sponge are we talking about? Bez mark seven seven?
It was nice. It was a good looking sponge. It
was it was a I didn't get my eyes on.
I just saw the fins and I was like, oh,
nice fins. Yuckas. So there we go. Yuka yuka apparently

(10:44):
the beef. It's the fins that the spongers and the
body surfers are using these days, the yuckas. So there
we go, update, update the reference.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Oh wow, they have a whole big ass store. They
have their own store. Yeah time Churchill never got that far.
So Matt, a para a pair of yukas. That's what
you're gonna have to get yourself some y you do have, Well,
you can get yukas that look like the two toned Churchill,
but a different it's like, looks like Miami colors instead
of San Jose State, like the old school Churchills. Ok

(11:18):
And the Yucca fins cost fifty five. That look like Churchills,
and the Churchills cost fifty four, Okay, and then the
Yucca fins, the bougier ones are eighty but those look
like diving fins. The standard Yukas ninety bucks.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Look at that. The long blades, they look short blades. Yeah,
they were good looking fins. I was like, nice fins,
but they don't have they don't have the suite. When
you put them together, it looks like a dolphins fan
like the Churchill Right. Well, and you gotta get the
ape gloves.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
And that's let me see if we can still get
apes aquatic propulsion equipment.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Matt. If you didn't have the apes, you're a real
poser back in the day. Let's see this here, nineteen eighty.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Nine, body surfing with web.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Now, these are just gloves that make you look like
a gorilla. All right, Ronnie, this is the song of
the Day.

Speaker 6 (12:16):
Luscius Jackson present today's song of the Day, called City
Song off the nineteen ninety four album titled Natural Ingredients,
A funky groove for a Frogman Friday, where the Petros
and Money Show has the natural ingredients to create that
perfect mix for three hours of great sports talk as
we prepare to witness the battle for the city supremacy

(12:38):
between the Clippers and Lakers at Crypto dot Com Arena
tonight and Adam Oslin will be fired up and ready
for your Clippers Countdown show beginning this evening at six.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
I don't know why U surfers wouldn't use the apes,
you know.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, you little move a little bit more water man.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
Webbed gloves, bodyboard king, what about that soupid stupid body surfing?
Like looks like a video game controller hand thing with
a leash that you hold that like little tiny board
in your hand.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Oh the womper, Yeah, the old wumper.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
Okay, we'll be back with a top story of the day.
It's a frog Man Friday on Petro sand Money on
AM five seventy l a sports. We love frog Men,
beg with everybody on a Friday, just a three to

(13:35):
six show and get used to those when the Dodgers
are in season, mother.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Loves.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
That's about where we're at.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
We're gonna talk to Michelle you about Big Cap Day
at Sarah Anita.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
No cap there prog man swerving the corner.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
Oh, but right now it's time for the top story
of the day, top story of it.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
What a fool I am?

Speaker 1 (14:00):
What?

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Oh, what a fool I fell for it?

Speaker 3 (14:05):
You think Jimmy Sexton pulled everybody's chain?

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Man, I just took the bait. Just didn't It didn't
make any sense. No, it did, now that we have hindsight,
it did not make any sense. You know why? And like, ultimately,
what this comes down to, and it's something that we
alluded to every single time we did the story, and
we've done it three or four times now, is there's
a dog involved. Man, I have.

Speaker 7 (14:29):
To be the dog in the situation, being like, I
want the respect for him that he deserves. Yes, I
love the city of La. I love the city of La.
With that being said, I love an adventure.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Okay, didn't recognize man, You're right, I'm a hater. I
am just a hater special negotiator involved, Right, be a dog.

Speaker 7 (14:53):
I have to be the dog in the situation.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
He had a dog. You know who was coming up?
You know who else was coming with a dog? Not
Sean McVay. That fool's coming with a glass of rose.
Hey's stepping too a dog. If you got to have
a negotiation and all you have is a freaking glass
of rose, and Stafford's coming with a dog, Yeah he saw,
I mean, come on, it just didn't make sense. And

(15:16):
to bring in a forty one year old nightmare who
sabotaged his former team after they gave him like one
hundred million dollars his old ass, to bring in broken
down receivers that no other team in the league would
have wanted, and in turn pisses off your young probably
top ten receiver in the league, Garrett Wilson by ignoring

(15:37):
him for stretches at a time. The same guy and
Aaron Rodgers who insisted Nate Hackett one of the worst
head coaches. I mean, maybe only Urban Meyer was a
worst head coach than Nate Hackett in NFL history. To Bdoc,
he's a terrible offensive coordinator. Then you get the head
coach fired, Then you string out your offseason report dates

(16:00):
because you want to go on vacation, and then you
get pissed off at the front office for letting it
be known to the public that he's not at a
voluntary mini camp that had nearly one hundred percent participation
save their fifty million dollar quarterback because he booked a
European vacation and that was more important to him, And
that was the thought. That's what that's what was being

(16:21):
floated as the option, and for a minute, I bought it.
I fell for it. I took the bait. Was Sean
McVay best play caller in the league? We mentioned the
ungodly level of hubris in that organization.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Well, we heard Kelly Stafford say that she was a
dog and.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
I should have known. I should have known that that
dog always gets its bone.

Speaker 7 (16:43):
I have to be the dog in the situation, being like,
I want the respect for him that he deserves. Yes,
I love the city of La. I love the city
of La. With that being said, I love an adventure saw.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I didn't recognize the gravity in those words. I didn't
recognize that. I mean, you're talking about three. I think
give it to me one more time case. I think
there's three threats in there. Let's start with the first one.
I'm a dog.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
I have to be the dog.

Speaker 7 (17:15):
In this situation, being like, I want the respect for
him that he deserves. To Ye, I love the city
of La. I love the city of LA. With that
being said, I love an adventure.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
I mean, that's that's a ten second SoundBite, if even
And there's three threats. One, I'm a dog, two you
better show my husband some respect, and three I love
an adventure. I get the hell out of here, right,
I'll get a damn trifecta of threats from the wife
on a podcast. You can't step to that, less snead. Right,

(17:53):
I don't care if McVeigh was so disgusted with the
level of football play from Jared Goff that he started
John Wolford in a playoff game, you know, how freaking
where that guy can get. But it was too obvious
that this was going to be figured out, you know.
And then because here's the and I almost wonder if

(18:14):
part of this is that Aaron Rodgers screwed this up
by leaking to Schefter that he wants to play for McVeigh,
that I've got an off season home in Malibu, that
I love living in LA, that I would love to
play for McVeigh, And then he even added his And
this is something we got into yesterday. Right, all these

(18:34):
NFL information, man, that's all they are freaking mouthpieces for agents, Yeah,
for agents or players or general managers to deliver their
message to the constantly just desert ass thirsty NFL football
fan and aggregators that want to take a story and
run with it and get the clicks and get the

(18:56):
talking heads talking.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
You could have been talking hand size and you wasted
our time.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
All right, show rights itself, guys, Congratulations staff, Show rides itself.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
Always gonna stay with the Rams stage. It just got
a lot of attention for his player and for himself.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
And I think that, I truly think maybe one of
the big mistakes that that Aaron Rodgers made in this
was the you know, Aaron said He'll bring Davante with him. Well,
what if you don't want Davonte Adams. What about Aaron
Rodgers saying I'm gonna go to New York and I'm
gonna bring Randall Cobb. Thanks, thanks for that, Aaron, appreciate
you bringing Randall Cobb and Nat Nate Hackett and.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Uh, don't you go after my Iowa's sake?

Speaker 2 (19:34):
And Lazard Alan Lazard Bazar like the idea that he's like, Hey,
I'll come play in LA and by the way, I'll
bring Davante. What if we don't want Davante. No, I
would want Davante, But what if we don't want him? No,
you're not You're not going on your stupid retreat. You're
not playing your dumbass guitar with Miles Teller. You're not

(19:55):
bringing your pseudo girlfriend for three months before you guys
break up after a tabloid announces that it's getting hot
and heavy, which it's not.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
If I was a difficult person, I'd say, why does
Miles Teller have to catch strays?

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Here was never gonna happen. Then one that freaking headache,
and the other thing is like once the story broke
This morning, when I saw that the Raiders and Giants
both have a framework for a contract with Matthew Stafford,
I was like, Ah, he's gone back because they said
it was ninety million bucks. And it's like, Okay, you're

(20:31):
the Rams and you're paying him four for one sixty.
You're giving him forty million bucks, and the other teams
are gonna give him forty five. You're gonna really like
say goodbye to a guy that won a freaking Super Bowl,
that was one of the best players in the postseason
last year for essentially the price of a backup guard
of a fourth linebacker. Yeah, you know what, we're gonna move.

(20:53):
We're gonna go with Jimmy Garoppolo because just we couldn't,
We couldn't find the extra five million bucks. Just couldn't
could and justify giving the guy the extra And of
course the flip side of that is what we talked
about yesterday, like, you're really gonna bust your legacy up
and go play for the worst team in your division
for five million bucks when you've made four hundred million,
you're one of the highest grossing players in the history

(21:16):
of the NFL, and you're going to go to a
last place team for forty five million instead of forty
million dollars. It just didn't It didn't make any sense.
We wanted losers, that's what we were cheering for. We
wanted people to feel pain, to feel discomfort, to get
a little bit of sand thrown in their face. And

(21:38):
unfortunately that was me. That was me. I was the
guy that fell down face first and got the alley
dirt kicked right there in my eyes. Heck of a
week for you, Matt, It really was, really was. I
thought I was on top of it too. Oh Man,

(21:58):
I was out last night to talk of these people.
They say, the Raiders are talking to him, man, and
then all of a sudden the story breaks. He's up
in Montana with Brady. I'm like, yeah, we're all over this.
Then I got somebody else saying, hey, man, I for
the Giants have had this thing locked up for three weeks. Really, yeah,
this thing, it's gonna be Cup and Stafford. They're taking
them both.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
Really, you're telling me that just because somebody tells you
something in the city of Indianapolis while there's an NFL
event going on, it might not be the truth.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Sucker is what I am. I'm a sucker and I'm
a drunk. It's not coincidental that both of those conversations
we had when I was consuming copious amounts of alcohol.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
You know, if it's any consolation to you, Matt. The
other day, I dropped off my kid at his baseball practice,
which is down in San Pedro. So I went over
to my dad's house and sat with him, and he's like.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Would you not a drink?

Speaker 4 (22:50):
And I was like, yeah, sure, it's four thirty five o'clock,
have a drink. And I sit down with a drink and.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Go you know alcohol is very dangerous. Why did you
offered me a drink?

Speaker 2 (23:01):
This is entrapman?

Speaker 3 (23:02):
Why did you do that? I just you know the
Ticten's told well aware of that. I know that you
saw me drink a great deal at the restaurant.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
But that is not because I was like, okay, well
you offered me a drink.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah. The way it goes is when you have you
pull out the thermis and you say it's just iced
tea because alcohol is bad for you and I'm trying
to change my life. That's that's a different story.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Jesus, all right, we'll be bad.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
The other day, I dropped my kid off at baseball
and I didn't go to my parents' house.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
I went to a bakery because I didn't want to
be shame.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
And you know I did it that bakery. I pulled
up my flask.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
No, you know what I thought about it, Matt. But
it's a new bakery, so they don't have their alcohol lifestyle.
I ordered an iced tea, but a very garlicky tomato toast,
very garlicky, was like a garlic punch to my esophagus.
I felt like dustin may. That's terrible. It's terrible. Well,

(24:04):
that's a story you're going with us slid. Okay, we'll
be back. We got Michelle you joining the show. You
too can be over at Santa Nita and have a
good time just like Michelle you.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Petro sayd Money AM five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. We got a big day tomorrow.
What do we have Dodgers spring training as they take
on the San Francisco Giants first pitch just afternoon. You'll
hear it right here on your home of the World
Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. And that's not the only

(24:46):
thing going on tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
P Well, Matt, you know some people say that the
horse racing or the sport of kings is a little antiquated, right,
Maybe they don't really uh, maybe they really don't relate
to the young. But that's not true. Tomorrow's big cap
day over at Santa Anita. And that's where you wear
the big ass hat, you know, like all the kids do.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Oh that big baseball cap.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah, here to discuss it all with us. One of
our favorite people, a breaker of horses. Working at Santa Anita.
One of the great experiences for everybody in all of
Southern California to get on out to Santa Anita and
watch the horses race so hard. Michelle, You not only

(25:28):
does she train, not only does she run the show
over there, but she's also a very valued commentator and
handicap her, at least.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
For us in tequila drinker.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Yeah, maybe it was a Crown Royal.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
It was, Yeah, it was. You're right, it was Crown.
It was Dug O'Neill that gave us tequila and took
it away.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
Joining us on your Southern California Toyota Dealer's Celebrity online.
There's still three quarters of that bottle up. I'm just
taken it with me. It's Michelle you on the Petro
said buddy show, our old friend from Santa Anita, a vibrant,
youthful person injecting life into the racetrack.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Hello Michelle, how are you?

Speaker 5 (26:11):
Oh, gentlemen, I'm gonna have to update my resume after
listening to that open. You guys gave me so many jobs.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, you're the best, Michelle La.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
I don't touch tequila, not with your not with your straw.
That's Crown Royal, you got right.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, that's my bed.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
Yeah, Matt with your dirty sharing ways. Matt always trying
to share straws with me, and I'm just like, I
don't want to share this.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
I want to take a ship. Go on, what do
we do?

Speaker 4 (26:32):
Take this velvet? I don't wear straw So what is
the big cap? Everybody wears the big giant hat?

Speaker 5 (26:39):
Oh no, the big caps is short for handicap, which
is how we way horses with like extra weights to
bring them all down to the wire together, way back
in yonder years now. It has just evolved the kind
of a one of our centerpieces of racing here. Well,
think about it. If you guys are both running a
race and one of you is faster, you make that

(26:59):
per and carry like the bigger monkey on the back,
right right, and then you guys come down to the
wire together. Allegedly, it's like a pound of length. So
if I'm ten pounds faster or ten links faster than you,
I would have to carry ten pounds more weight than you,
and that was my handicap. I think we should re
used handicaps in like golf too, right.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah, but we should go back to that. I like
the idea of loading the horse up with weight. I
bet that would be received glowingly right.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Like the fact jockey right fat.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
That's a great call. Pee fatter jockeys for the better horses.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
Look back in the day, some of these horses did
used to tote around like one hundred and third four
Go carried one hundred and thirty six pounds. John Henry
carried around that much weight. Now this is still a
handicap race, so there are still assigned weights based on
how good you are, but we don't weigh them down
like we used to. So there's no one carrying one
hundred and forty five pounds like our high weight I

(27:52):
think is one twenty four in this race.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
So you like the crown, you don't like the tequila.
We're looking at the list of events that are happy
in and out there. Chandelier round, yeah, are you? Are
you going to smoke a Yeah? And you're gonna smoke
a cigar? Does Michelle you smoke a cigar? And that
espresso Martini?

Speaker 5 (28:10):
Yeah, ladies, there no, there's no smoking that goes on,
but I would. I'll definitely have as many Espresso Martine's
as you want to bring. That's fair, right.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
I like an espresso Martini cause you know what I
can get drunk and stay super.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
Opright, make but I make mine so good. I make
mine with Bailey's in it, and then I actually use
decast because I don't do caffeine.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Wow, we're learning so much, we are?

Speaker 8 (28:34):
I mean from Saturday, no, no, no, it's good so
so I mean Tim Kaits always goes to sant Anita
around Boxing Day to get things started, and this year
was two crowded, so we went like the next day
after that.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Like, does the calendar just not stop until the fall?
Are we are? We just like in a full sprint
till the end of the twenty twenty.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
Five Here it's awesome, becaus what we are is in
a high cruising speed marathon. Okay, we go all the
way through June and we don't let up. So we
have stuff going on every single weekend. I mean we've
got we had Dumpling Day, there's Dollar Days for dollar beers,
there's the motorcycle shows, there's Marti Gras this weekend. There
was a Beer Insider Festival two weeks ago. I mean,

(29:19):
it's just week after week We've always got stuff like
this week not only is it Big Cap Day with
eleven races on Saturday, but We've got the Marti Gras,
We've got Fiesta Descent, Anita in Field with the Mariachi
and Monu Libre and the Michelada. We've got the Family
Fun Show, the motorcycle Show. I mean, we've got everything
going on.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Wow, it's like you're reading it off a list that's
right in front of you. Michelle, you've hit everything.

Speaker 5 (29:41):
Ever, I wish I had the list. I was trying.
I was supposed to be given a list.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Well, fortunately for you, I do have the list, and
you've hit everything in order. Do the horses get freaked out?
Do they get freaked out by anything? When I see
motorcycle show and I envision an evil canievil like Chopper
taken launch over six school buses? Like, would that freak
a horse out? To have a ah? Kind of like

(30:06):
a loud muffler.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
Motorcycle show happens in the infield, so we keep it
far away from the race horses. I think if you
did try and leap over the paddock with a motorcycle,
there would be a couple horses that would not appreciate that. Yeah,
but for the most part, they actually do really well.
They don't like the way throw beads out of either though,
So if you're going to be participating in the bed throwing,
let's not throw those at the horses either.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Those midget wrestlers with the Luja masks that also frighten
a horse as well.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
And he picks for tomorrow Michelle, Okay, I.

Speaker 5 (30:37):
Have one horse that I think is really interesting at
a price. So it's going to come in race number seven,
and it's just an allowance race for Philly sprinting on
the turf. And I like a horse in their name, Mismandalay.
She's eight to one on the morning line, Okay, So
she's a good price. She's been knocking on the door lately.
Her trainer is connecting at twenty three percent and him

(30:59):
and his right are teaming together at twenty five percent.
Both of those are exceptional percentages, by the way. And
so I like miss Mandalay and race seven at eight
to one, and if she wins, you can buy me
like four espresso Martini's.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Okay, deal, how's that works for us? It's big cat
day out there at Santa Anita. We love talking to Michelle.
You she's the best. Eleven races, the first races at noon,
I have the list. She did not vintage cap giveaway.
Marty Gras track.

Speaker 5 (31:29):
Side, what's a vintage cap?

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Big hat man? Now I have to look.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
And the big Cap does go as race number ten
in that eleven race lineup. But we have many, many
supporting stakes. We've got the Great One Kill Row, We've
got Phillies lining up as well in the Buena Vista.
We've got so many stakes races. We've got the Kentucky
Derby points on the line of the San Felipe. It's
going to be a really great day of good action.
So if you're looking for good horse racing and not

(31:57):
just fun things to do, tomorrow's your day.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Also, Shaw, I want to see some horse tease. I'm
gonna throw some beads at you. Man.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
I'm sorry, Thank you, Michelle, you guys, you have a
great day, and everybody, if you want to see some.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Horse come on, hey, check out that Philly over there.
I'm gonna throw these beads at it.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
You gotta go back, go back to Idioda.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
I'm going in a week.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
We'll be back with another hour a great sports talk
and Sonny Maccaro
