and welcome. It is the Petrosen Money Show on AM
five seventy LA Sports, your home of Dodger Baseball, your
(01:02):
home of Clippers tonight. We are flexed back today because
there is a Clipper game in Miami tonight, Wollert and
because there is a flex tonight. The Petrosen Money Show

fully functional employee Adham with the pregame at four and
we are hopeful that you will enjoy that hopeful music

your home while we play the Japanese music of your
(01:48):
World Series Champion Dodgers k Viva hapone. They're in Japan
with the Cubs and they'll see you next Tuesday night.
I believe it's at three am, but yeah, it's an
overnight deal. I mean, I don't know if I would
(02:10):
call it that, I would say it's gonna preempt Jonas
Knox's show in La Dodgers on Deck at two am,
first pitch at three oh five.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
People are gonna be storming the streets.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Oh, it's gonna be a ride in the street night.
And because he's heard his voice, we love this guy
if we can get him, but it's a tough get
because he plays Rodney Pete on local radio from time
to time. In fact, we didn't know Matt was gonna
(02:46):
be off on Thursday. Originally we thought Matt was gonna
work on Thursday from the Big Ten tournament, so we
didn't bother calling Jonas Knox. We thought we were just
gonna do the show, and instead Matt is not working
and Jonas got snatched up to play Rodney Pete again
and we're bringing in George Reister tomorrow. But either way,
(03:09):
it's Jonas Knox. He has his own weekend show. He
is the host of Two Pros and a Cup of
Joe on Fox Sports Radio. This morning, LaVar Arrington, one
of his co hosts on That Great Show along with
Brady Quinn, asked the question who will be the lead
(03:33):
when Jonas is on the show today? And I felt
a little awkward. I felt like, maybe shud should do
you want to? Well, I mean, I'm gonna ask you
a series of questions in a moment. I'd love for
you to take the lead and just lead me around
the dance floor. Jonas, you know what I'm saying tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, but it' I know. I didn't understand the question.
It's your show and you're better.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
At it, and that was very subjective. The Great Jonas
knocks a proud Thousand Oaks local luminary dressed like a
nineteen ninety three Amsterdam nightclub owner, loves the Lakers, loves
the NFL, and Thousand Oaks Lancer football get is on
(04:19):
your Southern California Toyota Dealer's celebrity guest microphone from his home.
Jonas cons ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Thank you, he thank you for having me. I always
love filling in with you, guys. It's gonna be a blast.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
It was a great conversation with you as always earlier today.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, but how do you think I should take the lead?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
That that's a little Yeah, it was a little caught
off guard, to be honest with you as well too.
I didn't understand why on earth would do you want
the show to be worse?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
No, I don't know. I would like it. Do you
have the rundown? Do you have the Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app? Make sure you hit the follow button
on the app so you can get the latest modifiers
and get Petros and Money on demand with the Petros
and Money Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Yeah, have that?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
You do that better? So why would I ever be
the lead? I go as the show goes. I just
got a text.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I just got a text from Tim Kates and it
says no t sheet for Jonas, and I don't think
that's I mean, look, it just made me feel a
little awkward because this morning, like I'm sitting there, I'm like, yeah,
and Jonas will be helping me out. We only got
two hours, but we have Jonas coming in. It's gonna
be a lot of fun. And LeVar Arrington, NFL draft
(05:40):
expert on Fox Sports Radio, asked the question who will
take the lead, And I thought to myself, like, should
I be am? I an ungracious host, Like I don't
really know what the lead is, you know, because Matt
and I kind of do everything together, So I don't
know what to do now, Jonas, I feel a little awkward,
(06:01):
you know. I feel like I feel like a girl
at his first dance, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I mean I would just say this, so I would
offer this up. You are better at it and it's
your show. To me, that would seem like that would
give you no.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
No, because I don't like this now. I don't like
this whole better at it thing. You are well because
I think, you know, Jonas, I'm always trying to think
a step ahead, you know, because I don't put anything
past anybody. Yeah, and I feel like there is a
good chance that you asked LeVar to ask the question.
I did not, almost like it was a plant, not,
you know, to make me feel awkward because padd O'Brien
(06:41):
used to do that, like I heard. I heard stories
about Pad O'Brien for years, like they'd be in the
countdown on the on a TV show and he'd be
sitting out there with some other host, you know, and
and like it's like ten nine and then he would
turn and be, like I told everybody would having sex.
Hey so sick and you know, to knock somebody off guard.
(07:04):
And now Pat has the upper hand. I believe he
did it to a tennis player in the Olympics who
bonked his racket again. You know, you know you would disgrace, right,
you disgraced Elvia Marry four three two, and you know,
so maybe you know that's like your way of knocking
me off my skis and taking great sports took to
(07:25):
new heights. I mean, that's fine with me.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Would never do that, would never do that, and would
never throw that out to LeVar. That was LeVar trying
to stir the pod, I believe, and also maybe feeling
a little bit left out himself that he wasn't asked
to fill in.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Well, we have Smith, we have been offered. Well, I
asked LeVar to come up. Look, we have a very
we have we're like the A team, but in the
opposite way. You know, if we asked you once and
you say no, it never, it doesn't come back around
again like a boomerang, right, And I should never say never,
(07:59):
because thats are down And sometimes it's like, Okay, yeah,
we got to do this or we got to do that,
but we do not ask more than once or twice.
And we've asked LeVar to do something once or twice
and we did not receive an answer one way or another.
So that does not make me feel like, hey, you know,
(08:20):
and I.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Was also well also like you guys weren't asking him
to work. You were asking him just to show up
and be celebrated at a remote and it was a no, which, right,
I can understand why you would not want to come
back around.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
But I also understand his perspective because everything for me
is also a no. So I mean, you know, I
can't sit there and fault somebody for being exactly like me.
But I have I have been made uncomfortable just by
the entire suggestion of whatever it is or isn't. You know,
(08:55):
We're in our nineteenth year here in the afternoon drive,
and I feel like a Virgin Jonas. I feel like
I feel like the girl and the dugout and.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Fast times touch for the very first time.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, staring at all the graffiti on the wall while
the guy from the stereo store has his way with me. Yeah,
and then d'mone impregnates me in a poolhouse.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
By the way, can I say something that made me
feel uncomfortable? Not that you said this, but you reminded
me of it when you described how I dress? What
was it ninety I said at nineteen ninety three Amsterdam
club owner? Okay, n club owner. Yeah, this is a
true story. My son is turning four at the end
(09:43):
of the month. His favorite song is Enjoy the Silence
by Depeche Mode. He loves that song, can sing it
like word for word. For whatever reason, he loves that song.
I love that song, love that album. I'm showing him
the video and the picture of the guys pops up
on the video on YouTube, and he.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Loves the guy in the I think it's Martin Gore,
the guy in the suspenders with the leader hosen on.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Well, but it's in that video gone.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You know it's gone, because I mean my lasting image
of Gahan in my mind is just shirtless with jeans handcuffs,
having wrecked a hotel room at the sunset marquee or something. Well,
supermodel girlfriend distraught. He's being pushed into the back of
an lapd cor just iconic. Right'snic and he's like five
(10:35):
six and oh yeah. The words are very.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah that guy.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
And so he sees the picture of them at the
start of the video all up on the screen, and
without hesitation, he looks points at the TV and goes
Papa's jacket.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
And I thought, oh christ, I looked up.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Right, it's true.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
And that video came out in nineteen ninety, and I'm like, wow,
So trust is right for some reason that there's been
like decades that have been skipped. And my son identified
right at the start of a video from nineteen ninety
from Depeche Mode that I wear the same stuff they do.
You got to show him Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
See if he says daddy's hat and Daddy's entire out,
Daddy's whole aura like that.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
He'd be like, see, Daddy, you can get into every
bathroom too.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I appreciate you for leaning into a look. You know,
I wear very colorful clothing because My personality is so
crappy and dark and hateful at this point in my
life that I feel like I can, you know, balance
it out with the color for clothing. It's not really working,
but I'm trying.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I was gonna ask you does that work?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I don't know. I mean, I can't. I can't. You
really don't know what people how people perceive you. You know,
you just walk around in your own skin and then
you die. So we have a great show today to
while by the time, while we are still Aliveames Worthy,
isn't that exciting for you? Jonas?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yeah, I love James I know how Yeah, the Lakers
play at the Milwaukee Bucks tomorrow. Not as exciting as
it was maybe five days ago. But I know you
love the Lakers, So I know you're excited to talk
to James Worthy.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Huge can't wait. Love James, and.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Then we're going to have our own conversation about whatever
you want, Jonas. I know we'll talk about sports. I
know you're a big NFL guy, and you talk about
free agency a whole lot on your show on the weekends,
and that's something that we can totally get into. I'm
really into that we could talk about the Clippers. I
know that you don't like the Clippers and you disparage
(12:42):
them all the time, and that's okay here, because the
next thing the Clippers do for us will be the
first thing that the Clippers do for us.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
A second, So, did they not give you guys a
chair like Fred Rogan's been bitching about for three.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
No, we did get the chairs. But you know, actually
the chairs were part of I think part of the
of the problem because they when they took over the
new ownership or whatever, they sent us chairs, me and
Matt and whatever. And Fred didn't get a chair, and
he left that message on some guy's machine. That guy
(13:15):
sent that message to Matt. But then Matt played it
on the air, and we played it on the air
for a long time, and eventually we were told we're
no longer allowed to play it. And I think Rogan
and Rodney kind of counterbalanced us playing that on the
air with Matt getting a field goal call wrong, like
(13:38):
and it's no good, no, it's good, you know, So
they were like, you know, Matt was punching them in
the face with his with his Fred Rogan voicemail, and
Rogan and Rodney was punching us in the sternum with
Matt's call on the field goal on the radio on
a Chargers game, and so on and so forth. And
I believe Don Martin eventually put an and to the
(14:00):
practice on both sides, so we don't play the voicemail anymore.
But the damage was done. I think a trust was broken. Also,
the Gillion gillion what's her name, the president of the
Clippers has a blood oath hatred toward me. Why And
one of those dumbass LA Sports Awards things, remember that,
(14:24):
you know, the LA Sports.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Award didn't didn't Fred win like every year because he
made sure to not include anybody else in the category.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Like you no, no, no, that's different. That's like the
southern California sport I'm talking about, like the LA where
you're like number one team the Rams, oh, you know,
and it's like that dumbass LA Sports Council that puts
it on. Yeah, And it used to be like a
big event at the Beverly Hilton on Fox Sports Net
and I used to host it with Billy Mack and
Vince Scully would show up. I mean, it was just stupid.
(14:54):
It was crazy, and I called that's when they had
the big NASCAR race or whatever the hell in Fontana.
And that's what the Clipper lady was in charge of
before she was in charge of the Clippers, a NASCAR
race in Fontana, and I called it Fontucky and everybody laughed,
(15:14):
and she got super angry and would never has forgiven
me since otherwise, you know, what's to stop me from
being a Clipper sideline guy with Christina Pink having the
time of my life down there.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
And by the way, you've always had a preference towards,
you know that the Clippers style than the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I was a Clipper supporter as a young media man.
Let to be fair, I mean I always kind of
I've always rooted against the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I don't know if that's a surprise.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
But I was always a Clipper guy in my early
media career because the Clippers had a PR guy. The
head of their PR was a guy from West Virginia
who was friends with my mentor, Mark Huska still is
and his name was Joe h Safety, So Joe and
that's how he talked hello, and so he was like
(16:06):
a mentor to me too. We would sit in the
Clipper media room, the chick her and media room at
Clipper games, and I would sit and talk to Joe
for hours and hours and hours. And he used to
be the PR guy for George Steinbrenner in the Billy
Martin Yankee years, if you can believe what that was
like to do PR for the Yankees and the seventies
(16:29):
before that, in the eighties and before that, he did
the Pittsburgh Pirates with the Willie Stargell when they won,
and that's, you know, West Virginia guy, very close to Pittsburgh.
So that was my indoctrination into just being an NBA
games watching the NBA media work. It was around the Clippers,
not the Lakers. So I was always just blown away
(16:51):
by how arrogant and smootie and annoying the people that
were the Laker media were compared to the Clipper media
in general. But my roots run deeper than that before
my media career. I don't know if that explains anything.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
But it does, and I don't know the people are
aware of that. I wasn't aware of that when I
was first And I might have told you this before,
but the great Jeff Biggs local LA Sports. Yeah, Bigsie
way too nice to be on the radio. Way too nice,
like one of the kindest human beings you'll ever meet.
And I love Jeff and I talked to him periodically
and he would send me out to games and he
(17:32):
was working on local radio and he would send me
out to cover Clipper games, and so I would go
out there, I would do a report from there, and
it was you know, it was working for free, but
it was just kind of you know, learning the ropes
and you know, finding my chops.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Had a great well.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
And then he he's like, yeah, so there's a game
coming up this Thursday or whatever it was. He goes,
it's at Staples, but it's technically a Lakers home game,
so it's going to be a little different.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I'm like, why is it different? He goes, well, you'll
see when you get there, and it was.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
He could not have been more correct, And you are
spot on the difference in the accommodations and the way
that you were treated when it was a Laker game
as opposed to a Clipper game.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Was night and day.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
We were sitting up at the very top like happened
to like look down basically from the ceiling of the
stadium to try and report on it and give details.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Of the game.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
There was a level of arrogance, and you're beneath us
in comparison to the Clippers, who were just happy to
have anybody there at all.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, right, I mean, I just and that's kind of
how I grew up early in the in the LA media.
But it is one hundred percent confirmed that Fred's payback
to Matt playing that message was the was the the
the mistake on the call. And not only that, both messages,
(18:55):
I mean the message alone, Fred leaving the message and
then us playing the message has alienated the Clippers from
both shows. But that being said that the Clippers don't
I mean that the TV people don't piss off the
Clippers fan duel or whatever it's called. And the Clippers
do nothing for them, I mean their first interview with
(19:17):
Kawhi at like a signing or something, or or a
dedication for a stadium like or Paul George or any
of those guys. They don't. They don't do anything for
their TV partner either, So I guess it's not much
of a surprise.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Well, leave it to Fred to burn a couple of bridges,
you know, hopefully he doesn't piss anybody off over in Tokyo,
you know, hopefully, hopefully everything's everything.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Well, Fred's not in Tokyo yet, Rodney's there, they're not
doing a show, and you and Matt and Kate's are
doing the Big ten Tournament. But there's always me, the
idiot standing in the wilderness, screaming into the abyss. And
thank you Jonas for joining me in your nineteen ninety outfit.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
It's an honor.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
So joining us in the very next segment will be
James Worthy. Oh how wonderful. I thought he was going
to play the Depeche mode. But James Worthy will join
us next. That always has a jazz motif. And then
we will go all the way till four o'clock. The
one and only Jonas Knox is in on the Petrosen

but there's still a lot of hope in the air
for the playoffs and the Luka Doncic acquirement. He's joining

we're honored to speak to him weekly. He's a wonderful man. James.
What's Crackland? Welcome to the show. How are you?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Hey? Hey, hey, hey, who you got in there with
you today? Mister knock?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
That's Jonas knocks, Yes, Yellona's knocked, Big game knocked.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
What's up.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
What's up? James? How are you? I mean, how are
you feeling?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
There was all this momentum, Lakers go to Boston, they lose,
Lebron gets hurt. Now JJ Reddick seems to be calling
out the team. Uh, where do you stand on this team?
Following these two losses?
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Well, you know, uh, the Brooklyn, the Brooklyn loss was
the one I think, uh, you know, the most disappointed
the uh, you know, a game that they they could
have beat Brooklyn. Brooklyn, you know, had had been losing. Uh.
And the fact that you lost Lebron and you know
(22:50):
you're going into the Den, you're going into the Lions Den,
when you're going into Milwaukee and and then Denver on
a back to back game. You know, I can understand
why JJ Reddick is saying, Look, it's not the fact
that we were you know, limited players without Lebron and
(23:11):
we're on the road. We didn't play smart basketball and
they had been playing really good smart basketball, you know,
with or without players on the floor. And I think
that's what I think, that's what any coach wants. You know,
he could take injuries that he could take, missing players.
What they think he can't take is when you when
you should win the game and then you don't play
(23:34):
the way you're he knows you're capable of playing.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
The great James Worthy is where us James. It does
feel like, speaking of JJ Reddick, that he has gained
enough clout or respect from the players and maybe league
wide now to where he can call everybody out and
act hard in a press conference because he's gotten a
(23:58):
little bit of respect where we didn't know what he
was going to be like coming into this season.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I was on the I was on,
you know, really happy, Uh when I realized what a
great communicator he was. And when you're hitting guys, when
you're hitting players with honesty and then you back it
up with like video that you can show them, but
then you come at them with a little you know,
(24:26):
humility and you try to bring them back into the team.
And he's done that. I mean, he's got guys playing
from him, from Goodwin to Coloco to Jamison. It's a
good environment in there and that's that that's very contagious.
So yeah, he's a great communicator. Uh. You know, the
way he defended Jokic when they played Denver now has
(24:51):
other teams thinking, Okay, we can play small and physical
and get some things done. So he's got some great ideas.
He thinks pretty good on his feet, and yeah, he
wants the best for his players. When he sees them
not performing the way he knows they can, that's when
good That's when good coaches are honest and straightforward and
(25:13):
to the point, and that's how you get the best
out of out of your players. That's how you maximize
that talent.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
There's been a lot of comparisons between him and Pat Riley.
Obviously you would know better than anybody, do you see
some of that? Was that your experience with Pat when
you played for him.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Well, it's funny you asked that because on media Day
that was my first question to him. I said, you know,
I played for a coach like Pat Riley, and you
seem to be very similar to him when he came
into the league. He's young, he's frash, and right away,
right away he said, I appreciate it, but I want
to be my own coach. That was what JJ Riddige
(25:53):
for was. But I do see a younger Pat Riley.
You know, Pat Rodley came out of the out of
radio and came right to the bench. And he was young,
you know, he hadn't had a lot of experience, and
everyone was going to question him. But he immediately you know,
(26:15):
got the players respect. Uh. He really knew personalities really well.
He you know, JJ has that same that same, that
same character. He knows he knows how to get the
max out of players, and he wants them to play that,
you know, and and the players want to play for
a coach like.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
That James overall, when it comes to Lebron being hurt,
and it feels like this happens now later in his career.
I mean, a guy's forty years old playing at a
very high level, but he's missed a time in March
for a few years now. Uh, it doesn't feel like
it's something of great concern unless you think it's different
(26:54):
this time, or you think that the team is going
to somehow lose their identity while he's out.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
I don't think they'll lose his identity because I think
we just you know, said coach Reddick hasn't playing, you know,
if we can get you know, Reeves this back a
couple of games back into after his injury, Ruey steal
down Hays, you know, still down. We need those those
guys who have been part of the success to be
(27:24):
around when Lebron is out. Obviously you miss him like crazy,
forty years old and doing what he's doing. Is you
remember at the beginning of the season, they're gonna, we're
just gonna, we're gonna go twenty nine minutes a game
for Lebron. That lasted like one game, and uh, it's
a good chance for Luca now. I mean, they're they're
(27:46):
virtually kind of like the same type of players, except
Lebron is a little quicker going downhill. It's gonna be
interesting to see if Luca now can be the guy
that Lebron has been for the Lakers. You know, I
know he's still getting used to players tendencies and still
you know, getting his shape a little bit. He was
(28:07):
out since December of last year. So that's that's what
we're looking for. Now. They got a and then they
got a crazy, you know schedule coming up the Bucks
and the Nuggets. But let's see, let's see if Luca
can be Luca and we can get some players back
and have their energy against you know, like we beat
(28:28):
Boston without a d and Lebron. We've beat some teams
without major players collectively, let's see if they can see
if they can pull that together.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Obviously, we know how good Luca is. Everybody's seen it
from afar, But now that he's up close and you're
watching him every single night, has anything surprised you or
anything that you didn't realize how great he was at
any aspect of his game that you now see nightly.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
I'm not surprised at all. The only thing I wish
for Luca is that he takes a fraction of Lebron's,
you know, workout routine, because I don't know, and this
kid is twenty five that he's amazing. But I don't
know if we've seen and Jerry West used to always say,
(29:16):
you know, you peak when you're like twenty eight, twenty nine,
I don't know if we've seen that that great and
shape Luca that we you know, like we see in Lebron,
like we saw in Kobe, or like we saw in
a guy like David Robinson or somebody like that. And
I think once he gets to that, all these little
(29:37):
nagging soft injuries to back the calf, I think all
that stuff will will solve itself. But nothing surprises me.
What this kid can do. I mean, it's like it's
like having another Magic Johnson on the floor here and Lebron.
Luca can't be sped up like he does everything in
first gear. He'll sp you with passes and shots, and
(30:03):
I think what he gets in the type of shape
that you know he's accustomed to, they were going to
see it more consistently. I don't think he's shooting the
ball that great right now, although he's scoring points, shots
a little short, a little long, but yeah, he's still
filling things out. And now we're going to see without
Lebron the impact he can have on a total teams.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
James Worthy is our guest on the Petrosen Money Show.
Jonas Knox is in Today. James, you know, one of
the lasting images from the Lakers Celtics battles over the years,
other than your verbal assaults back and forth with Cornbread Maxwell,
is you know Rambus getting clothes lined by Kevin McHale
(30:49):
and then you know you kind of put that picture
next to Lebron flopping against Jason Tatum the other night.
You know, what, did you guys flop like that? And
I mean that's not what w That's not what we
remember when we watched those games. What crosses your mind?
Would you see that stuff?
Speaker 5 (31:06):
If you flopped back in the eighties and and you
got away with it, the next file was gonna be
a flop, because we're going to use a file and
knock the hell out of you for doing that. We
didn't play that that softball, but can't over here, Baddie
Diva and he started flopping, and then everybody start flopping.
(31:28):
Now that's part of the game. I mean you can
see the replay. Sometimes players are three feet away from
each other and they just fall out. But I don't
like to flop. And the reason I don't like it,
I don't even remember the question you asked me. What
was the question about the flop?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Uh? Just you know, you basically answered it.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
There flopping.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
It happens, and it seems it seems like it's I mean,
it's not it's not really playing the game.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
No, it's acting. You know, you go to acting class
for that. And I think the league they kind of
came down on it a little bit, like if they
if they catch you flopping, I don't know what it is.
I don't know whether they bind you or go back
and look at it and I don't know, but yeah, yeah,
that's just the nature of the game. Man. Nobody's nobody's
(32:26):
staying in school, in college long enough. You never see
readings flopping four years of college, you know, because they
got the fundamentals down. It's it's players who you know,
a lot of times they take the short cut. But
when you when you get caught flopping, you guarantee that
next elbow is not gonna be a flop. It's gonna
be destructive.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
So so we have confirmed the vlade was the beginning
of all this.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
Zero I remember first first time. I remember.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Right he was he was the guy with COVID they
just left on the cruise ship. Yeah, he'sa.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
He'd flop and then starts speaking Yugoslavian.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
What a teammate. We love you, James. Thank you so
much for spending the time with us today, and have
a great week. We'll talk to you next week. Enjoy
the games.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
Big Game knocks in the house. Okay, guys, that'll be good.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Thanks James.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Wow, wasn't just big James, James, nice to you.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I love Big Game James, very kind.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
He really showed you some love there.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
How about catching astray?
Speaker 3 (33:37):
You know, all of a sudden, smoking and flopping and
talking in Croatian or.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
By the way, who's the who's the athlete in this town?
Is there anybody that smoked more than blade, like anybody
that was just a lung dart jeems?
Speaker 3 (33:52):
I mean I went into the Ram locker room at
halftime once in my life because the d line coach
was my father's old coach at sc Marv Goo and
John Robinson of course was the head coach, was down
in anti crime, and I saw Jack Youngblood just choking
down a cigarette at halftime, just all taped up and bloodied.
(34:20):
So sure, I mean Vlade smoked, but it was an
anomaly because it was the nineties. And I guess Luca
being a dirty Euro is similar in that way that
he vapes. He vapes so hard it's kind of like
the modern day VLA.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
He really is, He really is.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Jonas Knox is in the house. We'll have some listener
reaction and we will continue here. James Worthy, wonderful talk.
We will continue on this. We just won't be defeated.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
All right, Jonas, let's get to a few textosos. Way
to take the lead.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
A fine brought to you by your Sokel Toyota dealers.
We make it easy.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
LeVar is thrilled.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
I bet he is. Honestly, it is time for some texts. Jonas,
You've been around. You don't need the secret textosal. I'd
explain to you. No, although we did. We did get
take a walk down memory lane. Like I would never
explain the Clipper relationship and the chick hern press room
or anything like that to the listeners when Matt was here. Yeah,
(36:25):
because we have such a shared history in that way.
But anyway, let's get to some textosos or I would
not describe the rivalry between the Rogan and Rodney show
because of the voicemail that Fred left for the Clipper
guy that was leaked, uh, and then the mistake on
the call that Don Martin put an end to that.
(36:49):
But the bitterness remains. The bitterness remains, all right, some textosals.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
Line brought to you by your so called Toyota dealer.
We make it easy.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Jonas wants you to sit in the cockchair, Petros, Is
that true? Jonas? Do you want me to sit in
the cockchair?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
I mean, if you're interested, is that what you want?
Speaker 4 (37:16):
If that's you know, if that's something that uh, that
you're willing to willing to try.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
I think it's always been a thing, but now that
there's words for it, it's it's really something. That voicemail
that Fred left was so gnarly. Fred was so nasty,
the dean demon. Did you ever hear the voicemail? Oh
my god? And Ronnie, we don't have like it's not
we can't. I think it still lives on Matt's phone,
(37:46):
but I mean it's somewhere. I mean, it's probably in
the archives of the show. But like Fred was like
acting like really cool, like, hey, now don't worry Ronnie.
We can't. We're gonna get in trouble anyway. But Fred
was like, you know, hey, just want to leave you
a little message, let you know that you had a
lot of chairs, got it. And then it's just dripping
(38:08):
with hate, just bloody, poisoned hate for people.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
That aren't familiar.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
If there's a giveaway or a handout or a freebie
in a radio studio that somebody catches wind of, if
they're not included in the handout, it does cause some
bad blood.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Yeah, I get really butt hurt if I don't get
my Santa Anita calendar. If I don't get my yearly
calendar with the events at Santa Anita, I'm liable to
rip the place of pieces, right Petros does Jonas Knox
frequent the Canyon Club and the eight oh five. I
could swear I've seen him there and the Wood Ranch
(38:45):
on Agra Road multiple times. Do you take your dance
troop boy band family and go you know.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
And now for people that are not familiar, those are
all part of what they call the Wizzen shopping center,
which has been redone in recent years. So you've got
places like Plata, which is a Mexican establishment there very
good food. You've got the Candy Club, which is right
next door. I wasn't the Candy Club. I stopped in
there probably, I don't know, six seven months ago. Oh wow,
(39:16):
you're visitor. Yeah, that's a you know. I did see
Andrew dice Clay there.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
One time though. He was Yeah, he was the dice man.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Yeah, he uh goodery.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Fuck flaces packed, man, flace is past.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
And I took out the bottle of Jumbo bus shampoo
over the infant floor. Hey, what's the what's the the
shopping center in the eight oh five? That's too bougie
to just have the normal target color on the target
side and thermal ham on the Who the hell do
(39:51):
they think they are?
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Is it the one near Oaks? Christian kind of ye?
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Who the hell today? What the hell is that?
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (39:58):
That's it was he to make make target change their colors.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
It's really blow hardy.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
And then you go and say, man, this place is
fancy and then you realize, no, it's not that's a
guitar center, that's a fake mountain. That's a uh and
then yeah, but they they did try and separate themselves.
Yeah they got a fake mount Yeah, they they got
they got that. And uh, they've got what they got
an in and out, but the in and out is
(40:25):
pushed farther down the driveway, so they go. You know,
this is not your typical in and out that you
would get it in a place like Newbury Park. God forbid,
you know this is different here. But that's what's god
very very blowhardy.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Uh. Since you don't like the Lakers, ask Worthy why
the flop fell over like he was shot by the
second gunman on the Grassy knol on Saturday. I did,
I did?
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Damn?
Speaker 4 (40:51):
I did you just see Luca lead over the motorcade
and try and gather everything together?
Speaker 5 (40:58):
Terrible.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
I think the driver shot him. I think it was
like a trick shot from the driver.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
You think so, Yeah, some people that.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Kate's and I believe that to be true.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
Every injury that Luca sustains is a soft tissue injury.
You know, I got to be honest, Like, I don't
want to call bs on anything that James Worthy ever says.
But I don't think we're going to see a day
where Lucas swole like the Admiral David Robinson. I just
don't think it's gonna happen. I don't anyway.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
I mean, who do you think would pass a conditioning
test first, Luca or Djoki both?
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Dude, they go up and down every like. Those guys
aren't in bad shape. They're really not like playing pro basketball, Like,
go play basketball, go go go play full court basketball
for five minutes with a bunch of fat losers and
tell me how you feel, even if you're in good shape.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
So this is not gonna be sucking wind.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
This is not like when was it Mike sham Hand
who is basically fat shaming Albert Hainsworth and making him
publicly go through the conditioning test he kept failing in Washington, Like, yeah,
that's not.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Really fair either, but you are supposed to pass the
conditioning test. But conditioning and football is very different. I
mean the NBA guys, the way they go up and down,
my god, I mean it's they're all in shape even
if they're fat.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
So and if the guy wants to have some hookah
and you know, eat poor crimes after a game and
he's earned it and he's put in and burned the calories.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Good for him.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
Well, I don't know about all that, but I'm just
saying it's like I don't think like when people talk
about Luca, like they act like he's a guy on
a lazy boy with a bunch of Cheetos on his chest,
you know, just laid out playing video games and touching himself.
And it's like, no, no, he it seems like he
can move the body around a little.
Speaker 5 (42:54):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
My eighteen and twenty one year old sons informed me
that vapes are called geek bars. I don't know what
that meant. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
Yeah, like that guy used a vabe what a loser?
Speaker 3 (43:12):
Well yeah, I mean it is kind of a like
you see the sum vapes where they look like kind
of like a like a like a sort of like
a little generator, you know. Yeah, the whole like looks
like an eight track or something.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
It looks like that the PK meter and Ghostbusters.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
Yeah, and then it's like wow, and then the whole
just the dragon flame smoke that I would never read
this text if Matt was here, but I'll read it now.
The hate and darkness that emanates from you, Petros warms
my soul. The disdain and condescension you exhibit to the
LA sports establishment is the highlight of my listening day.
(43:51):
In an era of ball washing and ex athletes thinking
they're persecuted victims, your sanctimony is refreshing. Thank you well.
I appreciate that I live for texts like that.
Speaker 6 (44:05):
Fine brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
We make it easy.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
I do have to ask, why wouldn't you have read
that in front of Matt, Like why I would have?
Would that have caused a problem?
Speaker 3 (44:16):
I don't know. It's kind of self congratulatory. I try
not to be very self congratulatory. Yes I try to,
but I try. I try to. I try to. I
try to discourage self congratulatory behavior on our show, so
if I don't do it, they'll be less.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
So, so no self ball washing on the show.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
I try not to eat it. I mean, the only
the only place I want to wash my own balls
is in the shower.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
I'm with you, But.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
Because there's a co host today that I want to
think it particularly thinks I'm cool, then I'll read it
and be like, yeah, Jonas.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Do you think of that already? Think that?
Speaker 5 (45:01):
No, you think I'm.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
Pretty cool, don't. Yeah, you still want me to sit
in the cup chair. All right, We'll be back with
your word number Song of the Day. I'm a cautionary
tale from Japan. You ever been to Japan? There? No
me neither. But Fred and Rodney are there not doing
a show. Does that strike you as odd?
Speaker 4 (45:25):
Jonaph Well, I heard that the they were talking about
the time being it was going to be like four am,
and I thought, Wow, that's beneath him.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
What does that say about my career? Because that's yeah,
I wake up right, I wake up a one to
do show. So you know, hey, it's vacation. Everybody deserves
a vacation.
Speaker 3 (45:46):
You know, your sanctimony is refreshing. We'll be back with
the word number Song of the Day. We hope you're
enjoying your Wednesday. We'll be back with more on AMPI seventy,

and welcome. It is the Petrosen Money Show on AM
five seventy LA Sports, your home of Dodger Baseball, your
(01:02):
home of Clippers tonight. We are flexed back today because

your home while we play the Japanese music of your
(01:48):
World Series Champion Dodgers k Viva hapone. They're in Japan
with the Cubs and they'll see you next Tuesday night.
I believe it's at three am, but yeah, it's an
overnight deal. I mean, I don't know if I would
(02:10):
call it that, I would say it's gonna preempt Jonas
Knox's show in La Dodgers on Deck at two am,
first pitch at three oh five.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
People are gonna be storming the streets.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Oh, it's gonna be a ride in the street night.
And because he's heard his voice, we love this guy
if we can get him, but it's a tough get
because he plays Rodney Pete on local radio from time
to time. In fact, we didn't know Matt was gonna
(02:46):
be off on Thursday. Originally we thought Matt was gonna
work on Thursday from the Big Ten tournament, so we
didn't bother calling Jonas Knox. We thought we were just
gonna do the show, and instead Matt is not working
and Jonas got snatched up to play Rodney Pete again
and we're bringing in George Reister tomorrow. But either way,
(03:09):
it's Jonas Knox. He has his own weekend show. He
is the host of Two Pros and a Cup of
Joe on Fox Sports Radio. This morning, LaVar Arrington, one
of his co hosts on That Great Show along with
Brady Quinn, asked the question who will be the lead
(03:33):
when Jonas is on the show today? And I felt
a little awkward. I felt like, maybe shud should do
you want to? Well, I mean, I'm gonna ask you
a series of questions in a moment. I'd love for
you to take the lead and just lead me around
the dance floor. Jonas, you know what I'm saying tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, but it' I know. I didn't understand the question.
It's your show and you're better.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
At it, and that was very subjective. The Great Jonas
knocks a proud Thousand Oaks local luminary dressed like a
nineteen ninety three Amsterdam nightclub owner, loves the Lakers, loves
the NFL, and Thousand Oaks Lancer football get is on
(04:19):
your Southern California Toyota Dealer's celebrity guest microphone from his home.
Jonas cons ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Thank you, he thank you for having me. I always
love filling in with you, guys. It's gonna be a blast.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
It was a great conversation with you as always earlier today.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, but how do you think I should take the lead?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
That that's a little Yeah, it was a little caught
off guard, to be honest with you as well too.
I didn't understand why on earth would do you want
the show to be worse?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
No, I don't know. I would like it. Do you
have the rundown? Do you have the Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app? Make sure you hit the follow button
on the app so you can get the latest modifiers
and get Petros and Money on demand with the Petros
and Money Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Yeah, have that?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
You do that better? So why would I ever be
the lead? I go as the show goes. I just
got a text.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I just got a text from Tim Kates and it
says no t sheet for Jonas, and I don't think
that's I mean, look, it just made me feel a
little awkward because this morning, like I'm sitting there, I'm like, yeah,
and Jonas will be helping me out. We only got
two hours, but we have Jonas coming in. It's gonna
be a lot of fun. And LeVar Arrington, NFL draft
(05:40):
expert on Fox Sports Radio, asked the question who will
take the lead, And I thought to myself, like, should
I be am? I an ungracious host, Like I don't
really know what the lead is, you know, because Matt
and I kind of do everything together, So I don't
know what to do now, Jonas, I feel a little awkward,
(06:01):
you know. I feel like I feel like a girl
at his first dance, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I mean I would just say this, so I would
offer this up. You are better at it and it's
your show. To me, that would seem like that would
give you no.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
No, because I don't like this now. I don't like
this whole better at it thing. You are well because
I think, you know, Jonas, I'm always trying to think
a step ahead, you know, because I don't put anything
past anybody. Yeah, and I feel like there is a
good chance that you asked LeVar to ask the question.
I did not, almost like it was a plant, not,
you know, to make me feel awkward because padd O'Brien
(06:41):
used to do that, like I heard. I heard stories
about Pad O'Brien for years, like they'd be in the
countdown on the on a TV show and he'd be
sitting out there with some other host, you know, and
and like it's like ten nine and then he would
turn and be, like I told everybody would having sex.
Hey so sick and you know, to knock somebody off guard.
(07:04):
And now Pat has the upper hand. I believe he
did it to a tennis player in the Olympics who
bonked his racket again. You know, you know you would disgrace, right,
you disgraced Elvia Marry four three two, and you know,
so maybe you know that's like your way of knocking
me off my skis and taking great sports took to
(07:25):
new heights. I mean, that's fine with me.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Would never do that, would never do that, and would
never throw that out to LeVar. That was LeVar trying
to stir the pod, I believe, and also maybe feeling
a little bit left out himself that he wasn't asked
to fill in.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Well, we have Smith, we have been offered. Well, I
asked LeVar to come up. Look, we have a very
we have we're like the A team, but in the
opposite way. You know, if we asked you once and
you say no, it never, it doesn't come back around
again like a boomerang, right, And I should never say never,
(07:59):
because thats are down And sometimes it's like, Okay, yeah,
we got to do this or we got to do that,
but we do not ask more than once or twice.
And we've asked LeVar to do something once or twice
and we did not receive an answer one way or another.
So that does not make me feel like, hey, you know,
(08:20):
and I.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Was also well also like you guys weren't asking him
to work. You were asking him just to show up
and be celebrated at a remote and it was a no, which, right,
I can understand why you would not want to come
back around.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
But I also understand his perspective because everything for me
is also a no. So I mean, you know, I
can't sit there and fault somebody for being exactly like me.
But I have I have been made uncomfortable just by
the entire suggestion of whatever it is or isn't. You know,
(08:55):
We're in our nineteenth year here in the afternoon drive,
and I feel like a Virgin Jonas. I feel like
I feel like the girl and the dugout and.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Fast times touch for the very first time.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, staring at all the graffiti on the wall while
the guy from the stereo store has his way with me. Yeah,
and then d'mone impregnates me in a poolhouse.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
By the way, can I say something that made me
feel uncomfortable? Not that you said this, but you reminded
me of it when you described how I dress? What
was it ninety I said at nineteen ninety three Amsterdam
club owner? Okay, n club owner. Yeah, this is a
true story. My son is turning four at the end
(09:43):
of the month. His favorite song is Enjoy the Silence
by Depeche Mode. He loves that song, can sing it
like word for word. For whatever reason, he loves that song.
I love that song, love that album. I'm showing him
the video and the picture of the guys pops up
on the video on YouTube, and he.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Loves the guy in the I think it's Martin Gore,
the guy in the suspenders with the leader hosen on.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Well, but it's in that video gone.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You know it's gone, because I mean my lasting image
of Gahan in my mind is just shirtless with jeans handcuffs,
having wrecked a hotel room at the sunset marquee or something. Well,
supermodel girlfriend distraught. He's being pushed into the back of
an lapd cor just iconic. Right'snic and he's like five
(10:35):
six and oh yeah. The words are very.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah that guy.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
And so he sees the picture of them at the
start of the video all up on the screen, and
without hesitation, he looks points at the TV and goes
Papa's jacket.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
And I thought, oh christ, I looked up.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Right, it's true.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
And that video came out in nineteen ninety, and I'm like, wow,
So trust is right for some reason that there's been
like decades that have been skipped. And my son identified
right at the start of a video from nineteen ninety
from Depeche Mode that I wear the same stuff they do.
You got to show him Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
See if he says daddy's hat and Daddy's entire out,
Daddy's whole aura like that.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
He'd be like, see, Daddy, you can get into every
bathroom too.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I appreciate you for leaning into a look. You know,
I wear very colorful clothing because My personality is so
crappy and dark and hateful at this point in my
life that I feel like I can, you know, balance
it out with the color for clothing. It's not really working,
but I'm trying.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I was gonna ask you does that work?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I don't know. I mean, I can't. I can't. You
really don't know what people how people perceive you. You know,
you just walk around in your own skin and then
you die. So we have a great show today to
while by the time, while we are still Aliveames Worthy,
isn't that exciting for you? Jonas?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yeah, I love James I know how Yeah, the Lakers
play at the Milwaukee Bucks tomorrow. Not as exciting as
it was maybe five days ago. But I know you
love the Lakers, So I know you're excited to talk
to James Worthy.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Huge can't wait. Love James, and.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Then we're going to have our own conversation about whatever
you want, Jonas. I know we'll talk about sports. I
know you're a big NFL guy, and you talk about
free agency a whole lot on your show on the weekends,
and that's something that we can totally get into. I'm
really into that we could talk about the Clippers. I
know that you don't like the Clippers and you disparage
(12:42):
them all the time, and that's okay here, because the
next thing the Clippers do for us will be the
first thing that the Clippers do for us.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
A second, So, did they not give you guys a
chair like Fred Rogan's been bitching about for three.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
No, we did get the chairs. But you know, actually
the chairs were part of I think part of the
of the problem because they when they took over the
new ownership or whatever, they sent us chairs, me and
Matt and whatever. And Fred didn't get a chair, and
he left that message on some guy's machine. That guy
(13:15):
sent that message to Matt. But then Matt played it
on the air, and we played it on the air
for a long time, and eventually we were told we're
no longer allowed to play it. And I think Rogan
and Rodney kind of counterbalanced us playing that on the
air with Matt getting a field goal call wrong, like
(13:38):
and it's no good, no, it's good, you know, So
they were like, you know, Matt was punching them in
the face with his with his Fred Rogan voicemail, and
Rogan and Rodney was punching us in the sternum with
Matt's call on the field goal on the radio on
a Chargers game, and so on and so forth. And
I believe Don Martin eventually put an and to the
(14:00):
practice on both sides, so we don't play the voicemail anymore.
But the damage was done. I think a trust was broken. Also,
the Gillion gillion what's her name, the president of the
Clippers has a blood oath hatred toward me. Why And
one of those dumbass LA Sports Awards things, remember that,
(14:24):
you know, the LA Sports.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Award didn't didn't Fred win like every year because he
made sure to not include anybody else in the category.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Like you no, no, no, that's different. That's like the
southern California sport I'm talking about, like the LA where
you're like number one team the Rams, oh, you know,
and it's like that dumbass LA Sports Council that puts
it on. Yeah, And it used to be like a
big event at the Beverly Hilton on Fox Sports Net
and I used to host it with Billy Mack and
Vince Scully would show up. I mean, it was just stupid.
(14:54):
It was crazy, and I called that's when they had
the big NASCAR race or whatever the hell in Fontana.
And that's what the Clipper lady was in charge of
before she was in charge of the Clippers, a NASCAR
race in Fontana, and I called it Fontucky and everybody laughed,
(15:14):
and she got super angry and would never has forgiven
me since otherwise, you know, what's to stop me from
being a Clipper sideline guy with Christina Pink having the
time of my life down there.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
And by the way, you've always had a preference towards,
you know that the Clippers style than the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I was a Clipper supporter as a young media man.
Let to be fair, I mean I always kind of
I've always rooted against the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I don't know if that's a surprise.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
But I was always a Clipper guy in my early
media career because the Clippers had a PR guy. The
head of their PR was a guy from West Virginia
who was friends with my mentor, Mark Huska still is
and his name was Joe h Safety, So Joe and
that's how he talked hello, and so he was like
(16:06):
a mentor to me too. We would sit in the
Clipper media room, the chick her and media room at
Clipper games, and I would sit and talk to Joe
for hours and hours and hours. And he used to
be the PR guy for George Steinbrenner in the Billy
Martin Yankee years, if you can believe what that was
like to do PR for the Yankees and the seventies
(16:29):
before that, in the eighties and before that, he did
the Pittsburgh Pirates with the Willie Stargell when they won,
and that's, you know, West Virginia guy, very close to Pittsburgh.
So that was my indoctrination into just being an NBA
games watching the NBA media work. It was around the Clippers,
not the Lakers. So I was always just blown away
(16:51):
by how arrogant and smootie and annoying the people that
were the Laker media were compared to the Clipper media
in general. But my roots run deeper than that before
my media career. I don't know if that explains anything.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
But it does, and I don't know the people are
aware of that. I wasn't aware of that when I
was first And I might have told you this before,
but the great Jeff Biggs local LA Sports. Yeah, Bigsie
way too nice to be on the radio. Way too nice,
like one of the kindest human beings you'll ever meet.
And I love Jeff and I talked to him periodically
and he would send me out to games and he
(17:32):
was working on local radio and he would send me
out to cover Clipper games, and so I would go
out there, I would do a report from there, and
it was you know, it was working for free, but
it was just kind of you know, learning the ropes
and you know, finding my chops.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Had a great well.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
And then he he's like, yeah, so there's a game
coming up this Thursday or whatever it was. He goes,
it's at Staples, but it's technically a Lakers home game,
so it's going to be a little different.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I'm like, why is it different? He goes, well, you'll
see when you get there, and it was.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
He could not have been more correct, And you are
spot on the difference in the accommodations and the way
that you were treated when it was a Laker game
as opposed to a Clipper game.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Was night and day.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
We were sitting up at the very top like happened
to like look down basically from the ceiling of the
stadium to try and report on it and give details.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Of the game.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
There was a level of arrogance, and you're beneath us
in comparison to the Clippers, who were just happy to
have anybody there at all.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, right, I mean, I just and that's kind of
how I grew up early in the in the LA media.
But it is one hundred percent confirmed that Fred's payback
to Matt playing that message was the was the the
the mistake on the call. And not only that, both messages,
(18:55):
I mean the message alone, Fred leaving the message and
then us playing the message has alienated the Clippers from
both shows. But that being said that the Clippers don't
I mean that the TV people don't piss off the
Clippers fan duel or whatever it's called. And the Clippers
do nothing for them, I mean their first interview with
(19:17):
Kawhi at like a signing or something, or or a
dedication for a stadium like or Paul George or any
of those guys. They don't. They don't do anything for
their TV partner either, So I guess it's not much
of a surprise.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Well, leave it to Fred to burn a couple of bridges,
you know, hopefully he doesn't piss anybody off over in Tokyo,
you know, hopefully, hopefully everything's everything.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Well, Fred's not in Tokyo yet, Rodney's there, they're not
doing a show, and you and Matt and Kate's are
doing the Big ten Tournament. But there's always me, the
idiot standing in the wilderness, screaming into the abyss. And
thank you Jonas for joining me in your nineteen ninety outfit.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
It's an honor.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
So joining us in the very next segment will be
James Worthy. Oh how wonderful. I thought he was going
to play the Depeche mode. But James Worthy will join
us next. That always has a jazz motif. And then
we will go all the way till four o'clock. The
one and only Jonas Knox is in on the Petrosen

but there's still a lot of hope in the air
for the playoffs and the Luka Doncic acquirement. He's joining
(21:12):
us now, Jonas.
Speaker 4 (21:14):

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Us right now. It is the great James Worthy Emmy
Award winner on Spectrum is Jersey Hangs and the rafters
at Crypto. One of the great Lakers of all time,
one of the great NBA players of all time, and
we're honored to speak to him weekly. He's a wonderful man. James.
What's Crackland? Welcome to the show. How are you?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Hey? Hey, hey, hey, who you got in there with
you today? Mister knock?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
That's Jonas knocks, Yes, Yellona's knocked, Big game knocked.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
What's up.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
What's up? James? How are you? I mean, how are
you feeling?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
There was all this momentum, Lakers go to Boston, they lose,
Lebron gets hurt. Now JJ Reddick seems to be calling
out the team. Uh, where do you stand on this team?
Following these two losses?
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Well, you know, uh, the Brooklyn, the Brooklyn loss was
the one I think, uh, you know, the most disappointed
the uh, you know, a game that they they could
have beat Brooklyn. Brooklyn, you know, had had been losing. Uh.
And the fact that you lost Lebron and you know
(22:50):
you're going into the Den, you're going into the Lions Den,
when you're going into Milwaukee and and then Denver on
a back to back game. You know, I can understand
why JJ Reddick is saying, Look, it's not the fact
that we were you know, limited players without Lebron and
(23:11):
we're on the road. We didn't play smart basketball and
they had been playing really good smart basketball, you know,
with or without players on the floor. And I think
that's what I think, that's what any coach wants. You know,
he could take injuries that he could take, missing players.
What they think he can't take is when you when
you should win the game and then you don't play
(23:34):
the way you're he knows you're capable of playing.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
The great James Worthy is where us James. It does
feel like, speaking of JJ Reddick, that he has gained
enough clout or respect from the players and maybe league
wide now to where he can call everybody out and
act hard in a press conference because he's gotten a
(23:58):
little bit of respect where we didn't know what he
was going to be like coming into this season.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I was on the I was on,
you know, really happy, Uh when I realized what a
great communicator he was. And when you're hitting guys, when
you're hitting players with honesty and then you back it
up with like video that you can show them, but
then you come at them with a little you know,
(24:26):
humility and you try to bring them back into the team.
And he's done that. I mean, he's got guys playing
from him, from Goodwin to Coloco to Jamison. It's a
good environment in there and that's that that's very contagious.
So yeah, he's a great communicator. Uh. You know, the
way he defended Jokic when they played Denver now has
(24:51):
other teams thinking, Okay, we can play small and physical
and get some things done. So he's got some great ideas.
He thinks pretty good on his feet, and yeah, he
wants the best for his players. When he sees them
not performing the way he knows they can, that's when
good That's when good coaches are honest and straightforward and
(25:13):
to the point, and that's how you get the best
out of out of your players. That's how you maximize
that talent.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
There's been a lot of comparisons between him and Pat Riley.
Obviously you would know better than anybody, do you see
some of that? Was that your experience with Pat when
you played for him.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Well, it's funny you asked that because on media Day
that was my first question to him. I said, you know,
I played for a coach like Pat Riley, and you
seem to be very similar to him when he came
into the league. He's young, he's frash, and right away,
right away he said, I appreciate it, but I want
to be my own coach. That was what JJ Riddige
(25:53):
for was. But I do see a younger Pat Riley.
You know, Pat Rodley came out of the out of
radio and came right to the bench. And he was young,
you know, he hadn't had a lot of experience, and
everyone was going to question him. But he immediately you know,
(26:15):
got the players respect. Uh. He really knew personalities really well.
He you know, JJ has that same that same, that
same character. He knows he knows how to get the
max out of players, and he wants them to play that,
you know, and and the players want to play for
a coach like.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
That James overall, when it comes to Lebron being hurt,
and it feels like this happens now later in his career.
I mean, a guy's forty years old playing at a
very high level, but he's missed a time in March
for a few years now. Uh, it doesn't feel like
it's something of great concern unless you think it's different
(26:54):
this time, or you think that the team is going
to somehow lose their identity while he's out.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
I don't think they'll lose his identity because I think
we just you know, said coach Reddick hasn't playing, you know,
if we can get you know, Reeves this back a
couple of games back into after his injury, Ruey steal
down Hays, you know, still down. We need those those
guys who have been part of the success to be
(27:24):
around when Lebron is out. Obviously you miss him like crazy,
forty years old and doing what he's doing. Is you
remember at the beginning of the season, they're gonna, we're
just gonna, we're gonna go twenty nine minutes a game
for Lebron. That lasted like one game, and uh, it's
a good chance for Luca now. I mean, they're they're
(27:46):
virtually kind of like the same type of players, except
Lebron is a little quicker going downhill. It's gonna be
interesting to see if Luca now can be the guy
that Lebron has been for the Lakers. You know, I
know he's still getting used to players tendencies and still
you know, getting his shape a little bit. He was
(28:07):
out since December of last year. So that's that's what
we're looking for. Now. They got a and then they
got a crazy, you know schedule coming up the Bucks
and the Nuggets. But let's see, let's see if Luca
can be Luca and we can get some players back
and have their energy against you know, like we beat
(28:28):
Boston without a d and Lebron. We've beat some teams
without major players collectively, let's see if they can see
if they can pull that together.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Obviously, we know how good Luca is. Everybody's seen it
from afar, But now that he's up close and you're
watching him every single night, has anything surprised you or
anything that you didn't realize how great he was at
any aspect of his game that you now see nightly.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
I'm not surprised at all. The only thing I wish
for Luca is that he takes a fraction of Lebron's,
you know, workout routine, because I don't know, and this
kid is twenty five that he's amazing. But I don't
know if we've seen and Jerry West used to always say,
(29:16):
you know, you peak when you're like twenty eight, twenty nine,
I don't know if we've seen that that great and
shape Luca that we you know, like we see in Lebron,
like we saw in Kobe, or like we saw in
a guy like David Robinson or somebody like that. And
I think once he gets to that, all these little
(29:37):
nagging soft injuries to back the calf, I think all
that stuff will will solve itself. But nothing surprises me.
What this kid can do. I mean, it's like it's
like having another Magic Johnson on the floor here and Lebron.
Luca can't be sped up like he does everything in
first gear. He'll sp you with passes and shots, and
(30:03):
I think what he gets in the type of shape
that you know he's accustomed to, they were going to
see it more consistently. I don't think he's shooting the
ball that great right now, although he's scoring points, shots
a little short, a little long, but yeah, he's still
filling things out. And now we're going to see without
Lebron the impact he can have on a total teams.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
James Worthy is our guest on the Petrosen Money Show.
Jonas Knox is in Today. James, you know, one of
the lasting images from the Lakers Celtics battles over the years,
other than your verbal assaults back and forth with Cornbread Maxwell,
is you know Rambus getting clothes lined by Kevin McHale
(30:49):
and then you know you kind of put that picture
next to Lebron flopping against Jason Tatum the other night.
You know, what, did you guys flop like that? And
I mean that's not what w That's not what we
remember when we watched those games. What crosses your mind?
Would you see that stuff?
Speaker 5 (31:06):
If you flopped back in the eighties and and you
got away with it, the next file was gonna be
a flop, because we're going to use a file and
knock the hell out of you for doing that. We
didn't play that that softball, but can't over here, Baddie
Diva and he started flopping, and then everybody start flopping.
(31:28):
Now that's part of the game. I mean you can
see the replay. Sometimes players are three feet away from
each other and they just fall out. But I don't
like to flop. And the reason I don't like it,
I don't even remember the question you asked me. What
was the question about the flop?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Uh? Just you know, you basically answered it.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
There flopping.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
It happens, and it seems it seems like it's I mean,
it's not it's not really playing the game.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
No, it's acting. You know, you go to acting class
for that. And I think the league they kind of
came down on it a little bit, like if they
if they catch you flopping, I don't know what it is.
I don't know whether they bind you or go back
and look at it and I don't know, but yeah, yeah,
that's just the nature of the game. Man. Nobody's nobody's
(32:26):
staying in school, in college long enough. You never see
readings flopping four years of college, you know, because they
got the fundamentals down. It's it's players who you know,
a lot of times they take the short cut. But
when you when you get caught flopping, you guarantee that
next elbow is not gonna be a flop. It's gonna
be destructive.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
So so we have confirmed the vlade was the beginning
of all this.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
Zero I remember first first time. I remember.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Right he was he was the guy with COVID they
just left on the cruise ship. Yeah, he'sa.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
He'd flop and then starts speaking Yugoslavian.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
What a teammate. We love you, James. Thank you so
much for spending the time with us today, and have
a great week. We'll talk to you next week. Enjoy
the games.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
Big Game knocks in the house. Okay, guys, that'll be good.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Thanks James.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Wow, wasn't just big James, James, nice to you.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I love Big Game James, very kind.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
He really showed you some love there.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
How about catching astray?
Speaker 3 (33:37):
You know, all of a sudden, smoking and flopping and
talking in Croatian or.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
By the way, who's the who's the athlete in this town?
Is there anybody that smoked more than blade, like anybody
that was just a lung dart jeems?
Speaker 3 (33:52):
I mean I went into the Ram locker room at
halftime once in my life because the d line coach
was my father's old coach at sc Marv Goo and
John Robinson of course was the head coach, was down
in anti crime, and I saw Jack Youngblood just choking
down a cigarette at halftime, just all taped up and bloodied.
(34:20):
So sure, I mean Vlade smoked, but it was an
anomaly because it was the nineties. And I guess Luca
being a dirty Euro is similar in that way that
he vapes. He vapes so hard it's kind of like
the modern day VLA.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
He really is, He really is.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Jonas Knox is in the house. We'll have some listener
reaction and we will continue here. James Worthy, wonderful talk.

or anything like that to the listeners when Matt was here. Yeah,
(36:25):
because we have such a shared history in that way.
But anyway, let's get to some textosos or I would
not describe the rivalry between the Rogan and Rodney show
because of the voicemail that Fred left for the Clipper
guy that was leaked, uh, and then the mistake on
the call that Don Martin put an end to that.
(36:49):
But the bitterness remains. The bitterness remains, all right, some textosals.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
Line brought to you by your so called Toyota dealer.
We make it easy.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Jonas wants you to sit in the cockchair, Petros, Is
that true? Jonas? Do you want me to sit in
the cockchair?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
I mean, if you're interested, is that what you want?
Speaker 4 (37:16):
If that's you know, if that's something that uh, that
you're willing to willing to try.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
I think it's always been a thing, but now that
there's words for it, it's it's really something. That voicemail
that Fred left was so gnarly. Fred was so nasty,
the dean demon. Did you ever hear the voicemail? Oh
my god? And Ronnie, we don't have like it's not
we can't. I think it still lives on Matt's phone,
(37:46):
but I mean it's somewhere. I mean, it's probably in
the archives of the show. But like Fred was like
acting like really cool, like, hey, now don't worry Ronnie.
We can't. We're gonna get in trouble anyway. But Fred
was like, you know, hey, just want to leave you
a little message, let you know that you had a
lot of chairs, got it. And then it's just dripping
(38:08):
with hate, just bloody, poisoned hate for people.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
That aren't familiar.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
If there's a giveaway or a handout or a freebie
in a radio studio that somebody catches wind of, if
they're not included in the handout, it does cause some
bad blood.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Yeah, I get really butt hurt if I don't get
my Santa Anita calendar. If I don't get my yearly
calendar with the events at Santa Anita, I'm liable to
rip the place of pieces, right Petros does Jonas Knox
frequent the Canyon Club and the eight oh five. I
could swear I've seen him there and the Wood Ranch
(38:45):
on Agra Road multiple times. Do you take your dance
troop boy band family and go you know.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
And now for people that are not familiar, those are
all part of what they call the Wizzen shopping center,
which has been redone in recent years. So you've got
places like Plata, which is a Mexican establishment there very
good food. You've got the Candy Club, which is right
next door. I wasn't the Candy Club. I stopped in
there probably, I don't know, six seven months ago. Oh wow,
(39:16):
you're visitor. Yeah, that's a you know. I did see
Andrew dice Clay there.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
One time though. He was Yeah, he was the dice man.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Yeah, he uh goodery.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Fuck flaces packed, man, flace is past.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
And I took out the bottle of Jumbo bus shampoo
over the infant floor. Hey, what's the what's the the
shopping center in the eight oh five? That's too bougie
to just have the normal target color on the target
side and thermal ham on the Who the hell do
(39:51):
they think they are?
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Is it the one near Oaks? Christian kind of ye?
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Who the hell today? What the hell is that?
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (39:58):
That's it was he to make make target change their colors.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
It's really blow hardy.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
And then you go and say, man, this place is
fancy and then you realize, no, it's not that's a
guitar center, that's a fake mountain. That's a uh and
then yeah, but they they did try and separate themselves.
Yeah they got a fake mount Yeah, they they got
they got that. And uh, they've got what they got
an in and out, but the in and out is
(40:25):
pushed farther down the driveway, so they go. You know,
this is not your typical in and out that you
would get it in a place like Newbury Park. God forbid,
you know this is different here. But that's what's god
very very blowhardy.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Uh. Since you don't like the Lakers, ask Worthy why
the flop fell over like he was shot by the
second gunman on the Grassy knol on Saturday. I did,
I did?
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Damn?
Speaker 4 (40:51):
I did you just see Luca lead over the motorcade
and try and gather everything together?
Speaker 5 (40:58):
Terrible.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
I think the driver shot him. I think it was
like a trick shot from the driver.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
You think so, Yeah, some people that.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Kate's and I believe that to be true.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
Every injury that Luca sustains is a soft tissue injury.
You know, I got to be honest, Like, I don't
want to call bs on anything that James Worthy ever says.
But I don't think we're going to see a day
where Lucas swole like the Admiral David Robinson. I just
don't think it's gonna happen. I don't anyway.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
I mean, who do you think would pass a conditioning
test first, Luca or Djoki both?
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Dude, they go up and down every like. Those guys
aren't in bad shape. They're really not like playing pro basketball, Like,
go play basketball, go go go play full court basketball
for five minutes with a bunch of fat losers and
tell me how you feel, even if you're in good shape.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
So this is not gonna be sucking wind.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
This is not like when was it Mike sham Hand
who is basically fat shaming Albert Hainsworth and making him
publicly go through the conditioning test he kept failing in Washington, Like, yeah,
that's not.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Really fair either, but you are supposed to pass the
conditioning test. But conditioning and football is very different. I
mean the NBA guys, the way they go up and down,
my god, I mean it's they're all in shape even
if they're fat.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
So and if the guy wants to have some hookah
and you know, eat poor crimes after a game and
he's earned it and he's put in and burned the calories.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Good for him.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
Well, I don't know about all that, but I'm just
saying it's like I don't think like when people talk
about Luca, like they act like he's a guy on
a lazy boy with a bunch of Cheetos on his chest,
you know, just laid out playing video games and touching himself.
And it's like, no, no, he it seems like he
can move the body around a little.
Speaker 5 (42:54):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
My eighteen and twenty one year old sons informed me
that vapes are called geek bars. I don't know what
that meant. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
Yeah, like that guy used a vabe what a loser?
Speaker 3 (43:12):
Well yeah, I mean it is kind of a like
you see the sum vapes where they look like kind
of like a like a like a sort of like
a little generator, you know. Yeah, the whole like looks
like an eight track or something.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
It looks like that the PK meter and Ghostbusters.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
Yeah, and then it's like wow, and then the whole
just the dragon flame smoke that I would never read
this text if Matt was here, but I'll read it now.
The hate and darkness that emanates from you, Petros warms
my soul. The disdain and condescension you exhibit to the
LA sports establishment is the highlight of my listening day.
(43:51):
In an era of ball washing and ex athletes thinking
they're persecuted victims, your sanctimony is refreshing. Thank you well.
I appreciate that I live for texts like that.
Speaker 6 (44:05):
Fine brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
We make it easy.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
I do have to ask, why wouldn't you have read
that in front of Matt, Like why I would have?
Would that have caused a problem?
Speaker 3 (44:16):
I don't know. It's kind of self congratulatory. I try
not to be very self congratulatory. Yes I try to,
but I try. I try to. I try to. I
try to discourage self congratulatory behavior on our show, so
if I don't do it, they'll be less.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
So, so no self ball washing on the show.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
I try not to eat it. I mean, the only
the only place I want to wash my own balls
is in the shower.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
I'm with you, But.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
Because there's a co host today that I want to
think it particularly thinks I'm cool, then I'll read it
and be like, yeah, Jonas.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Do you think of that already? Think that?
Speaker 5 (45:01):
No, you think I'm.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
Pretty cool, don't. Yeah, you still want me to sit
in the cup chair. All right, We'll be back with
your word number Song of the Day. I'm a cautionary
tale from Japan. You ever been to Japan? There? No
me neither. But Fred and Rodney are there not doing
a show. Does that strike you as odd?
Speaker 4 (45:25):
Jonaph Well, I heard that the they were talking about
the time being it was going to be like four am,
and I thought, Wow, that's beneath him.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
What does that say about my career? Because that's yeah,
I wake up right, I wake up a one to
do show. So you know, hey, it's vacation. Everybody deserves
a vacation.
Speaker 3 (45:46):
You know, your sanctimony is refreshing. We'll be back with
the word number Song of the Day. We hope you're
enjoying your Wednesday. We'll be back with more on AMPI seventy,
