We talked some NFL, We talked some Taco Tuesday and Walteria,
(01:41):
and we talked a little bit about Lebron James's Taco Tuesday.
We talked about our plan tomorrow to endear ourselves to
Andrew Friedman with Sunflower Seeds and try to get Tim
Kates his elusive World Series ring, which Andrew Friedman agreed
to give him on this air months ago. Still to come,
(02:03):
James Worthy in the very next segment to talk about
the Lakers lull. But right now it's time for the
word of the day. His words the word of the day, Well,
I'm not going to go as far as New York City, Matt,
somebody get a rope. I am going to Oklahoma, which
(02:23):
is actually something pretty interesting. Today's word is bedlam. Now,
as you know, Matt most of big time college sports
are bedlam. Now portals opening and closing during inopportune times.
In men's basketball and football, nil has killed the dream
(02:44):
of a Cinderella ESPN versus Fox and the football world. Well,
as we've discussed, spring games are being canceled, and not
just because a man was murdered at a hotel in
Spokane was unfortunate, and spring games are being canceled because
(03:05):
of the transfer portal. Spring games are being canceled because
of people don't want to be poached for a lot
of different reasons. But Mike Gundy, always innovative, always outspoken,
made a pretty interesting suggestion yesterday. He suggested that he'd
like to bring back Bedlam Oklahoma State versus Oklahoma in
(03:27):
the spring, like an inter squad spring game.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Look at following the Dion Sanders step.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, Deon Sanders mentioned it first. But to do this,
it would be Bedlam. I mean this sweet, Well, the
actual Bedlam series, which was discontinued last year after one
hundred and twelve years, played consecutively when Oklahoma went to
the SEC. We can lament the Holy War byu Utah,
(03:57):
which has gone back and forth, the backyard Brawl, but
bedlam after one hundred and twelve years. That's terrible, So
a home and home, Gandhy suggested. He also said, maybe
one game in one arena and they can split the
proceeds and spend it on their nil which doesn't seem
(04:19):
like nil at all. But whatever, Gundhy said, not going
to be a live game, but nobody has live scrimmages anymore,
which means, you know, tackling all the way to the ground,
so you're making a full thud like we're doing in
practice anyway, just like they do in the NFL. Gandhi
(04:39):
did originally say that Dion is the one who had
the idea, but the idea to do it with other teams,
and the idea to do it with a team that
you don't play anymore. That would make millions and millions
of dollars in promotion and revenue for the state of
Oklahoma if they did it. Pretty interesting idea, absolutely Now.
(05:02):
The only thing I would say is you put a
crowd in t boone Pickens or in Norman, and you
get a bunch of college kids out there to play
football against an opponent, and you tell them not to
tackle to the ground, and they're young guys who are big,
(05:23):
strong and fast, and there's a crowd in there. Good
luck with Thud. But Bedlam in April sounds like a
lot of fun to me and sounds like one maybe
positive development that we could have with all this seismic
change in college football. But interesting stuff from the mullet.
Mike Hundy, I.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Saw what was it? Dion said that he and Syracuse
are he knows that guy in Syracuse. But that would
be a flight and all that, and and that's not
a bad idea. Would that generate the the interest of
in the state of Oklahoma or beyond to bring Bedlam back?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
No, would Dion do it with Colorado State, which would
bring interest in Colorado? No, because him and Jay Norvell
hate each other. So maybe he could play the College
of the Mines. You know, Thud Tempo.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Who cares Colorado School of the Mines, all those big
brain engineers.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Let's go, you know, I mean Thud Tempo. You know,
while we're the.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Intermural team from Colorado.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Why don't just bring on the Denver Universally lacrosse team
and just to give him back, great, great call. All right,
we'll be back. Here's the member of the day number
of the day.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Number the day's twenty had a wonderful night last night,
but a special shout out to diet Rule as he
was prepping for his program. Does a lot there for
the Kings, not just playing the organ, but in control
of all of the music, all of the sound bites
of the goldhorn. Everything was kind of a as he
provided the accompaniment to Preston last night for the national anthem,
(07:03):
to have us upstairs into his broadcast center. If you
will to show her around, let her hop on that organ,
play a little bit. Hearing it echo through at the time,
an Emptycrypto dot com arena could not have been more
kind was essential in her performance that went great. Everybody
super supportive, very enthusiastic, and it was certainly a nervous
(07:26):
experience for her staring at seventeen or nineteen thousand people
that packed that place when she was ready.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Mailbox had New Yorkers on Greek Heritage Night, I mean,
my goodness.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And speaking of Greek Heritage Night, as chance would have it,
I was walking in and bumped into Christine our cat
spiritup Salties not Spirrau Salty's Carolyn, a Greek who listens
to the show and Christine or maybe Catherine Catherine and
Christine Christine was the artist p who and I helped
(07:57):
her carry in all of her arts. The shoe she made,
that sweatshirt see with the ice hockey or you know
what the skate. Yes, she was the artist that designed that.
A very famous Greek artist could not have been both kind.
It's really cool they gave one to Preston. And for
you Greeks out there like you who might be looking
(08:18):
for some Greek fiend la kingswear.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I haven't. I mean, I've been searching my whole life.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
And guess what I found it for you last night?
How beautiful? Did I purchase it?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I didn't know where to purchase it. They brought one
in and gave it to Preston. Otherwise I would have
tried to track one down for you. But for those
of you interested, beautiful sweatshirt. It's got the Greek independence
date on the back along with the date of the
Greek Heritage. Greek Heritage night with the Kings.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I want you to the Turks, you know, you know
the Kings used that Turkish scarf and upset the Armenians,
you know, And that's right now, they're celebrating Greek independence
literally from the Turks. Hard to think that this isn't
a sound there and bountylash, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And balance just what we're talking about here. But a
wonderful night. But really just wanted to tip the cat.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
That was the anthem. I got pictures different, I didn't
get any video, but anthem was the pictures.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, I went very well. She hit every note. She
used her dramatic pause perfectly to get the applause of
the people between the last two lines of the anthem.
And even though I could tell she was incredibly nervous
right before she started those first few bars, from Deeter
to get her go and calmed her down, and a
big thank you to him for helping make it a
great success. Everybody seemed to really like it. And yes,
(09:32):
I was also quite nervous before that first note came
out of her mouth, which normally I don't get nervous
about things, but yeah, this one was a little stressful,
even though.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
You don't want to screw up in front of all
those Greeks are very unforgiving.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
And yes, the Greeks gave us a little bit of
the side eye when we were out on the terrace
for their Greek heritage. Now I'm not kidding. I counted
multiple people that were looking at us and being like,
who are they?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Well, they're wondering why Nna Muscori was not book to
Greek Aritage night. What's wrong with this girl? She lacks
body hair, the mustache, she doesn't have a big hook nose.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
To it.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Why she's singing?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
At least she's got the darker hair. You know the
other two girls.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
It's not enough. It's two light. She could be from
Macedonia with hair like that.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
A wonderful night, though. Thank you to the Kings who
tracked Preston down to ask her to do it through
her social media channels, and to Deeter for being just
an incredible partner for her and helping her get through it,
and to the Greeks for all of their enthusiasm.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Ronnie, this is the song of the day.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
New York City electro synthesizer rock band LCD sound System
is behind our song of the day called Us Be
Them because the time has come today for the third
Flex Alert in a row, where the Petros and Money
Show delivers two and one half hour of great sports
talk before those Clippers take over in New York City
with the Knicks for an US be them east to
(11:07):
West Coast matchup with the famed Madison Square Garden, which
means our good friend Adam Oslin will be here with
your Clippers countdown show beginning promptly at three point thirty.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I wonder if it's Greek Heritage Night there, well, ask
Adam goodbye? Well, yeah, because you know it's Greek Independence Day.
It's pretty good time for Greek Heritage Night. Freak Independence
Week from the Turks. We'll be right back with James Worthy.
But now that I think about it, Matt is never
(11:38):
on the yacht. No Peter's cooling.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Comes.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Our conversation here with James Worthy brought to you by
your Southern California Ford Dealers or for vehicle was damaged
by the recent Los Angeles area fires. Your Southern California
Ford Dealers are offering you employee pricing plus no payments
for one hundred and twenty days. Because this is our
home too. It takes all of us to turn heartache
into hope, rebuild and make it home again. La Strong
built Fort Proud.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Joining us right now is our friend James Worthy, Hall
of Famer needs no introduction his jersey hangs and the
Rafters Emmy Award winner on Spectrum sportsnet La honarly today
because the Lakers are in Indiana, they suffered a bit
of a lull since Lebron has come back here to
discuss it all. He's one of the all time grades
(12:49):
and a proud North Carolina tar heel. Our friend James Worthy,
what's cracking, big game? James? How are you?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Hey? Hey, hey, you know, on the way to uh Wash.
The Lakers play in Indiana.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
And we're looking forward to the game. You know, a
couple of weeks back, everything was wonderful. Everything was coming
up roses. People were excited and there's still a lot
of great reason to be excited with Luka Doncic on
the Lakers. But what would you say the number one
issue they've had during this lull that that I just
mentioned has been.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
I don't know, man, but it kind of reminds me
of my golf game, you know, rarely, rarely. Every now
and then I'll get lucky and I might just par
the first four hoes, you know, I might. I might
get lucky, and then on that next part four I'll
(13:49):
make an eight, okay, and then that turns my even
par into four. Oh, but it seems like that's just
what the Lakers did. They built themselves a nice comfortable
place in the seedings all the way up to second
at one point, but fourth was looking really nice and attainable. Unfortunately.
(14:10):
You know, I'm not gonna blame at all on the injuries.
I mean that the injuries are a part of it,
but since they've gotten everybody back, they've forgotten about what's
gotten them here, and that's the defense. The defense has,
you know, really gone away, like taking a vacation. Now.
I know a lot of it has to do with
you're trying and incorporate a major superstar and like he
(14:35):
has the ball in his hand a lot, and he's
been successful. However, there were only like nineteen assists in
the last game, so the motion needs to come back
where everyone was a threat. They spread the four pretty good.
You gotta let Luca do what he does. But I
(14:55):
think there also needs to be a little bit more motions.
Fast break points scenes have gone away, But the main
thing is they're giving up a lot of points in
quarters and the entire game, and the defense kind of
took a deep breath when they got to a place
that they had been trying to get to, which was,
(15:16):
you know, top four seed.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, just kind of a little more on that, James.
I mean, every year you're kind enough to join us
for the season, and it feels like every year we're
talking about seating and position and it revolves around not
being in the play in but being in the playoff
and getting into that six spot. So kind of where
do you sit now? You know, feeling I feel like
they're gonna get one of these top four seats. Do
(15:40):
you think it is a big deal? If they get
four or three or two? Kind of wear you out
with this team and what they need to do to
try to make that deep playoff run.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I have two thoughts. One, you don't want to be
in the playing game. If they're in the playing game again,
I'm gonna cut my pink finger off. I can't take it.
Seem drastic U. Two, you definitely want to if you
can get even though I don't think home court advantage
means that much anymore. I really don't. The way teams
(16:12):
can shoot the three and win on the road and
they're comfortable on the road and traveling, is it's better
on the road. I don't. I don't really, but it
would be nice to have some momentum at home for
a team who has been in the play in and
has to fight their way into the playoffs, just you know,
if they could get fourth seed. If not, it does
(16:34):
not matter. That's what I mean. You got to be
able to play, and you got to be able to
win on the road. So you know, any anything, you know,
one through six, you know, I think it's attainable. They
can get there. The playing game is just something they
need to avoid and they can avoid with the players
they have, and they've already proven that they can play,
(16:56):
so they got they got to get back to that.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Qualify this with you know, every player thinks their generation
is the best, you know, and they want to, you know,
push their era of basketball as the most dominant and
the one that would win in these fictitious what if
the eighties Lakers played the nineties Bulls played the twenty
teens Warriors kind of conversations. But I don't know if
(17:21):
you saw Lebron He went on Pat McAfee's show today,
was there for about an hour, and one of the
big takeaways, as it pertains to you, was he was
kind of talking about one that Giannis would average two
hundred and fifty points a game in the seventies, and
two that he feels as though players today have to
think the game a little bit more than maybe they
did before. Just kind of your reaction to his position
(17:44):
on those two things and your experience playing basketball in
the era you played it.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Well.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
The athlete today is definitely a better athlete, you know,
so question the science will tell you that they're better shape.
We had one trainer and Gary Vetti. And not only
was he the trainer, he was responsible for airline tickets,
getting everybody their keys in the hotel room and everything.
He wore a lot of keys, and you had to,
(18:14):
you know, you had to get a reservation to go
get treatment for him in his hotel room. You know,
maybe you might get fifteen twenty minutes to plug it
into some damn machine. So there's definitely a better athlete.
I don't know if some of the current athletes have
seen Wilt Chamberlain in college when he was running up
(18:38):
and down the floor, or Bill Russell. I don't know
if they've seen you know, Hevlicek, who who's pretty much
a you know, pretty much a runner and an athlete.
You know, the athlete today is definitely a better athlete.
Jannis going up against Bill Russell. Bill Russell was pretty
(18:59):
damn man. I've seen him jump over somebody's head and
a clip. So there was some athleticism back then. And
I think there are guys like doctor j or you know,
keem Elijahwan or Moses Malone who could you know, Rick
a little havoc, So I you know, I can say
(19:20):
that there's a better athlete, but I mean Magic was
pretty athletic, Michael Cooper, Byron's got We had some athletes
that were pretty athletic. So you can't really judge it
on opinions. I mean I think I think eighties, you know,
we had some pretty good athletes that could withstand today's game.
(19:42):
So but I do think there's a better a better
fit athlete with you know, with with with with charters
and load management and you know, really good treatment and
so yeah, I mean that's the way I look at it.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
And you mentioned it in the past. I mean you
played for Dean Smith. I mean so did Michael Jordan.
I mean, you guys that came up in the eighties
had years of college experience, where college coach taught you
fundamentals and how to think the game, which is what
Lebron says guys didn't do back then. It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
That then, I disagree with because you know, Kareem had
four years of college Bill Walton, Michael and I had three.
Uh you look at you look at Austin Reeves undrafted,
you know, but he had four years of drail work.
You know, he knows how to play. You don't have
(20:36):
to teach him at this level. And I find that
why guys have to think more if this is what
I feel that Lebron is thinking about, because they didn't
get what Austin Reeves got, so it doesn't come natural
to them as it should by the time you reach
the NBA. It should be a natural response to know
(20:56):
how to stunt and get back and you know, uh,
you know, know how to you know, do certain things
on the basketball court without having to go back to
basketball one on one. So, yeah, you're coming out of
high school, you're coming out of one year of college. Uh, yeah,
you're gonna have to think a lot bit more. And
(21:17):
I also think, you know, you know, guys thought a
lot more back then because we called We had play sets,
you know, we had we had about eighteen plays in
our playbooks, and the coaches were controlling all the plays.
They were just calling plays. You know. We had one
for Kareem, one for me. So yeah, we were well
thought out. So there's some disagreement in that that I just.
(21:39):
I mean, look, players today have to think more because
they don't get the I think, the fundamentals of college coaches.
And the guy who proves that more than anybody is
is a guy like Austin Reeves.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, he loves Austin Reechs. Have a great night out
there on Spectrum Sports Net, will be watching the one
and only James Worthy. There's nobody better. Thank you, James,
you got the best.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
James Worthy again brought to you by your Southern California
four Dealers. Remember if your vehicle was damaged by the
recent Los Angeles area fires, your Southern California four Dealers
offering you employee pricing plus no payments for one hundred
twenty days. La Strong built Ford Proud Matt.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
If he cuts off his pinky, it's gonna kill us
golf game, no doubt. It's gonna be terrible grip on.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
The unless he's gripping too hard with that pinky and
then maybe it'll help it.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I like Django reinhard, I get you know, you never know,
Johnny Tremaine.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
The Aightes just disappeared after I cut off my pinky
because the Dodgers were in the the Lakers are in the.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Playt Lebron taped that last night, by the way, just
in case he got butt hurt on the air, and
they had.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
To oh right, edit some stuff and they're playing today,
had a few f bombs. They could have edited out
the ninety thousand curse.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Words right or added more to make to add more
to make them more relatable. Is that more cool for
people to hear curse words out of Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I'm way into him now, man.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I liked it when he produced that song with two
chains like he was a music producer. That that's when
I was in. That's when I put off, pushed all
my chips into the middle. That a live guy coming
up back. All right, A big thank you, of course
(23:49):
to everybody involved with the Petros and Money Show and
everybody that's going to set up our show tomorrow and
all you listeners because we're going to be at Opening
Day at Dodger Stadium starting at noon, noon to three,
our favorite time slot for our favorite show. Maybe we'll
(24:10):
even have some cross talk, some good feelings, cross talk
to avoid other people that we may or may not
want to talk to. It's gonna be an extravaganza, fun
and excitement at Dodger Stadium tomorrow. I don't know how
many Opening Days we've done from the field, but it's
been a few. I think forty two. Okay, yes, just
(24:30):
like Jack Roberts.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Special number with the Dodgers, the same for us. Very exciting.
Always appreciate being out there, always appreciate being on the field.
It's a real to do, especially considering where the Dodgers
sit currently on the Muss landscape.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Last year was the most highly anticipated Opening Day ever
and we got Don Martin talking to Friedman about seeds.
This year even more highly anticipated. What will Happen Opening
Weekend is brought to you by the Hollywood Pantagious see

five seventy LA Sports. That's why we're on early today
and off extremely early, but we'll still get your content.
Here comes the dead Guide Birthday of the day.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Well picked a six and a half minute song for this.
See if we can make it through half of that.
You know it's different. In the nineteen seventies, you can
penna seven minute ballad radio station would embrace it supposed
to cutting it down to two minutes and fifty seconds
because that's all kids have the time for these days.
(26:00):
As your maritime navigation show of record. And it's not close.
I mean, Petros, you're an honorary prick Port Royal Yacht Club.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
That's not true at all.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
P R weise, I don't like to ask you to
be a member.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
You did, I was, I was solicited. But if I
were to join a yacht club, I believe it would
be the King Harbor Yacht Club and that the chances
of me joining that yacht club are less than one percent.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Never say never Today's dead guy, Nathaniel Bodich. I'm just
trying to support your potential prickness. Were you to choose that,
why would I.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Want to be in a club with a bunch of
over officious old white people. You can't eat those salobbies,
those those are those are choices brought the uh.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Nate here Nathaniel Bowditch, founder of Modern Seafaring, a navigation man.
His book be read it belong to King Harbor or
Port roy Yacht Club.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Maybe even Fourth of July Yacht Club out out in
two Harbors.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Matt right, they would have The New American Practical Navigator,
published in eighteen two, still carried on board of every
commissioned US naval vessel. I think we recognized that s
has changed dramatically on land in the last two hundred
and twenty five years. On the open sea, not so
(27:24):
many me me. He was born in Salem, mass His
father a sailor, but grew afraid of the sea after
his ship went aground in seventeen seventy five and he
was wrecked for a while. It was a different time,
so when Nate was just ten, he had to leave
school to work with his father making barrels Cooperridge. But hey,
things picked up when he was indentured at twelve.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Pass me the mallet. You got it, Pops.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Indentured at twelve and spent the next nine years as
a book keeping apprentice to a ship chandler. At fourteen
he taught himself algebra, sixteen, taught himself calculus seventeen, taught
himself Latin and French so he could read Isaac Newton's masterpiece,
The Principia Mathematica. Not an easy read, let alone, not
in your native language. Point being kid was crazy smart.
(28:15):
My boy Will's crazy smart. At eighteen, while he was
looking through John Hamilton Moore's The New Practical Navigator, he
found thousands of errors, corrected them using math. The same
year he copied all the mathematical papers from the Royal
Society of London, a translation that was critical to the
development of David Vassay's favorite subject, astronomy. In the United States.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
You must be se Scorpio.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
The sea called. Finally, seventeen ninety five, he went on
the first of his four voyages as a ship's clerk
and captain's writer. When he returned four years later. He
got to work writing about his experience, using all his
notes to quote put down into the book. Nothing I
can't teach the crew end quote. On that trip, it
has said that every man of the crew of twelve,
(29:03):
including the ship's cook, became competent to take and calculate
lunar observations and to plot the correct position of the ship.
Per the instruction of Nathaniel So In eighteen oh two,
his book The American Practical Navigator first published. It became
the Western Hemisphere shipping industry standard for the next one
hundred and fifty years. His mathematical and his astronomical work
(29:29):
during this time earned him celebrity significant standing, elected into
the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical
Society offered the Chair of Mathematics and Physics at.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Harvard.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
He went through a few petticoats too. I bet some
smart checks that wanted to lay him.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah, turned him down. The chicks a Harvard. He loved
the chicks. Unfortunately, his first wife died seven months after marriage.
Studied meteors, studied the moon, studied orbits, studied comments, wrote
about all of them. The US Military Academy offered him
(30:09):
the chair in mathematics. Again he refused. By eighteen nineteen,
his international reputation had grown to the extent that he
was elected a member of the Royal Societies of Edinburgh
and London and the Royal Irish Academy. Incredibly intelligent, important,
impactful human being and no one could navigate the open seas.
(30:34):
He died at sixty four years old, like Nathaniel Bowditch.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
And we know the difference between astronomy and astrology. Okay,
that was the joke.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I don't want to inside joke people, idiots.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
All right, Matt, you're not done working. We'll do some
Korean titles today. Oh no, Yeah, you're a live guy.

their offshoot bands considered by Yeah it is the Big
One u XE Big One. Well XO Matt, since you've asked,
is considered by many to be the vocal powerhouse group
of any K pop group ever. They're the ones that
(31:56):
can blow your face off with their vocals. I don't
know what the vocal powerhouse equivalent. Maybe boys to men
as opposed to like Backstreet Boys or in sync. I
don't know, Yeah, I got you anyway, we've never talked
about this guy before. He's pretty popular. He's currently on
(32:17):
an all Asian tour, hairspray and his hair down in
a Caesar style like Marky Mark in the movie Fear.
So let's do a couple of titles and we'll move
on because we still have a longer segment coming up
with your fun fact and your quick hits, and then
(32:38):
we'll get you to that Clipper game and it could
be the last one on a seventy of the year kids,

of our show is Drink with God season two and
God Man. I hope season three is coming where my
kids are gonna be able to go to the Lutheran

Speaker 2 (34:07):
That's why we got the Vergin Connie Swale. We're gonna
sacrifice her brand new acorn market Horns. Don't mess up
my tempo. You know, that's just I think you read
that straight. You recognize as a man of music. That's crickets.
Oh I mess up my tempo of music. What I'm
(34:33):
looking around over here? Who's a man of music? We
gotta talk about it. That Instagram video of that lead
singer beating the hell out of the drummer and then

(01:41):
and we talked a little bit about Lebron James's Taco Tuesday.
We talked about our plan tomorrow to endear ourselves to
Andrew Friedman with Sunflower Seeds and try to get Tim
Kates his elusive World Series ring, which Andrew Friedman agreed
to give him on this air months ago. Still to come,
(02:03):
James Worthy in the very next segment to talk about
the Lakers lull. But right now it's time for the
word of the day. His words the word of the day, Well,
I'm not going to go as far as New York City, Matt,
somebody get a rope. I am going to Oklahoma, which
(02:23):
is actually something pretty interesting. Today's word is bedlam. Now,
as you know, Matt most of big time college sports
are bedlam. Now portals opening and closing during inopportune times.
In men's basketball and football, nil has killed the dream
(02:44):
of a Cinderella ESPN versus Fox and the football world. Well,
as we've discussed, spring games are being canceled, and not
just because a man was murdered at a hotel in
Spokane was unfortunate, and spring games are being canceled because
(03:05):
of the transfer portal. Spring games are being canceled because
of people don't want to be poached for a lot
of different reasons. But Mike Gundy, always innovative, always outspoken,
made a pretty interesting suggestion yesterday. He suggested that he'd
like to bring back Bedlam Oklahoma State versus Oklahoma in
(03:27):
the spring, like an inter squad spring game.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Look at following the Dion Sanders step.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, Deon Sanders mentioned it first. But to do this,
it would be Bedlam. I mean this sweet, Well, the
actual Bedlam series, which was discontinued last year after one
hundred and twelve years, played consecutively when Oklahoma went to
the SEC. We can lament the Holy War byu Utah,
(03:57):
which has gone back and forth, the backyard Brawl, but
bedlam after one hundred and twelve years. That's terrible, So
a home and home, Gandhy suggested. He also said, maybe
one game in one arena and they can split the
proceeds and spend it on their nil which doesn't seem
(04:19):
like nil at all. But whatever, Gundhy said, not going
to be a live game, but nobody has live scrimmages anymore,
which means, you know, tackling all the way to the ground,
so you're making a full thud like we're doing in
practice anyway, just like they do in the NFL. Gandhi
(04:39):
did originally say that Dion is the one who had
the idea, but the idea to do it with other teams,
and the idea to do it with a team that
you don't play anymore. That would make millions and millions
of dollars in promotion and revenue for the state of
Oklahoma if they did it. Pretty interesting idea, absolutely Now.
(05:02):
The only thing I would say is you put a
crowd in t boone Pickens or in Norman, and you
get a bunch of college kids out there to play
football against an opponent, and you tell them not to
tackle to the ground, and they're young guys who are big,
(05:23):
strong and fast, and there's a crowd in there. Good
luck with Thud. But Bedlam in April sounds like a
lot of fun to me and sounds like one maybe
positive development that we could have with all this seismic
change in college football. But interesting stuff from the mullet.
Mike Hundy, I.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Saw what was it? Dion said that he and Syracuse
are he knows that guy in Syracuse. But that would
be a flight and all that, and and that's not
a bad idea. Would that generate the the interest of
in the state of Oklahoma or beyond to bring Bedlam back?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
No, would Dion do it with Colorado State, which would
bring interest in Colorado? No, because him and Jay Norvell
hate each other. So maybe he could play the College
of the Mines. You know, Thud Tempo.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Who cares Colorado School of the Mines, all those big
brain engineers.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Let's go, you know, I mean Thud Tempo. You know,
while we're the.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Intermural team from Colorado.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Why don't just bring on the Denver Universally lacrosse team
and just to give him back, great, great call. All right,
we'll be back. Here's the member of the day number
of the day.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Number the day's twenty had a wonderful night last night,
but a special shout out to diet Rule as he
was prepping for his program. Does a lot there for
the Kings, not just playing the organ, but in control
of all of the music, all of the sound bites
of the goldhorn. Everything was kind of a as he
provided the accompaniment to Preston last night for the national anthem,
(07:03):
to have us upstairs into his broadcast center. If you
will to show her around, let her hop on that organ,
play a little bit. Hearing it echo through at the time,
an Emptycrypto dot com arena could not have been more
kind was essential in her performance that went great. Everybody
super supportive, very enthusiastic, and it was certainly a nervous
(07:26):
experience for her staring at seventeen or nineteen thousand people
that packed that place when she was ready.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Mailbox had New Yorkers on Greek Heritage Night, I mean,
my goodness.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And speaking of Greek Heritage Night, as chance would have it,
I was walking in and bumped into Christine our cat
spiritup Salties not Spirrau Salty's Carolyn, a Greek who listens
to the show and Christine or maybe Catherine Catherine and
Christine Christine was the artist p who and I helped
(07:57):
her carry in all of her arts. The shoe she made,
that sweatshirt see with the ice hockey or you know
what the skate. Yes, she was the artist that designed that.
A very famous Greek artist could not have been both kind.
It's really cool they gave one to Preston. And for
you Greeks out there like you who might be looking
(08:18):
for some Greek fiend la kingswear.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I haven't. I mean, I've been searching my whole life.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
And guess what I found it for you last night?
How beautiful? Did I purchase it?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I didn't know where to purchase it. They brought one
in and gave it to Preston. Otherwise I would have
tried to track one down for you. But for those
of you interested, beautiful sweatshirt. It's got the Greek independence
date on the back along with the date of the
Greek Heritage. Greek Heritage night with the Kings.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I want you to the Turks, you know, you know
the Kings used that Turkish scarf and upset the Armenians,
you know, And that's right now, they're celebrating Greek independence
literally from the Turks. Hard to think that this isn't
a sound there and bountylash, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And balance just what we're talking about here. But a
wonderful night. But really just wanted to tip the cat.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
That was the anthem. I got pictures different, I didn't
get any video, but anthem was the pictures.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, I went very well. She hit every note. She
used her dramatic pause perfectly to get the applause of
the people between the last two lines of the anthem.
And even though I could tell she was incredibly nervous
right before she started those first few bars, from Deeter
to get her go and calmed her down, and a
big thank you to him for helping make it a
great success. Everybody seemed to really like it. And yes,
(09:32):
I was also quite nervous before that first note came
out of her mouth, which normally I don't get nervous
about things, but yeah, this one was a little stressful,
even though.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
You don't want to screw up in front of all
those Greeks are very unforgiving.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
And yes, the Greeks gave us a little bit of
the side eye when we were out on the terrace
for their Greek heritage. Now I'm not kidding. I counted
multiple people that were looking at us and being like,
who are they?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Well, they're wondering why Nna Muscori was not book to
Greek Aritage night. What's wrong with this girl? She lacks
body hair, the mustache, she doesn't have a big hook nose.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
To it.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Why she's singing?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
At least she's got the darker hair. You know the
other two girls.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
It's not enough. It's two light. She could be from
Macedonia with hair like that.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
A wonderful night, though. Thank you to the Kings who
tracked Preston down to ask her to do it through
her social media channels, and to Deeter for being just
an incredible partner for her and helping her get through it,
and to the Greeks for all of their enthusiasm.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Ronnie, this is the song of the day.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
New York City electro synthesizer rock band LCD sound System
is behind our song of the day called Us Be
Them because the time has come today for the third
Flex Alert in a row, where the Petros and Money
Show delivers two and one half hour of great sports
talk before those Clippers take over in New York City
with the Knicks for an US be them east to
(11:07):
West Coast matchup with the famed Madison Square Garden, which
means our good friend Adam Oslin will be here with
your Clippers countdown show beginning promptly at three point thirty.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I wonder if it's Greek Heritage Night there, well, ask
Adam goodbye? Well, yeah, because you know it's Greek Independence Day.
It's pretty good time for Greek Heritage Night. Freak Independence
Week from the Turks. We'll be right back with James Worthy.
But now that I think about it, Matt is never
(11:38):
on the yacht. No Peter's cooling.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Comes.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Our conversation here with James Worthy brought to you by
your Southern California Ford Dealers or for vehicle was damaged
by the recent Los Angeles area fires. Your Southern California
Ford Dealers are offering you employee pricing plus no payments
for one hundred and twenty days. Because this is our
home too. It takes all of us to turn heartache
into hope, rebuild and make it home again. La Strong
built Fort Proud.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Joining us right now is our friend James Worthy, Hall
of Famer needs no introduction his jersey hangs and the
Rafters Emmy Award winner on Spectrum sportsnet La honarly today
because the Lakers are in Indiana, they suffered a bit
of a lull since Lebron has come back here to
discuss it all. He's one of the all time grades
(12:49):
and a proud North Carolina tar heel. Our friend James Worthy,
what's cracking, big game? James? How are you?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Hey? Hey, hey, you know, on the way to uh Wash.
The Lakers play in Indiana.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
And we're looking forward to the game. You know, a
couple of weeks back, everything was wonderful. Everything was coming
up roses. People were excited and there's still a lot
of great reason to be excited with Luka Doncic on
the Lakers. But what would you say the number one
issue they've had during this lull that that I just
mentioned has been.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
I don't know, man, but it kind of reminds me
of my golf game, you know, rarely, rarely. Every now
and then I'll get lucky and I might just par
the first four hoes, you know, I might. I might
get lucky, and then on that next part four I'll
(13:49):
make an eight, okay, and then that turns my even
par into four. Oh, but it seems like that's just
what the Lakers did. They built themselves a nice comfortable
place in the seedings all the way up to second
at one point, but fourth was looking really nice and attainable. Unfortunately.
(14:10):
You know, I'm not gonna blame at all on the injuries.
I mean that the injuries are a part of it,
but since they've gotten everybody back, they've forgotten about what's
gotten them here, and that's the defense. The defense has,
you know, really gone away, like taking a vacation. Now.
I know a lot of it has to do with
you're trying and incorporate a major superstar and like he
(14:35):
has the ball in his hand a lot, and he's
been successful. However, there were only like nineteen assists in
the last game, so the motion needs to come back
where everyone was a threat. They spread the four pretty good.
You gotta let Luca do what he does. But I
(14:55):
think there also needs to be a little bit more motions.
Fast break points scenes have gone away, But the main
thing is they're giving up a lot of points in
quarters and the entire game, and the defense kind of
took a deep breath when they got to a place
that they had been trying to get to, which was,
(15:16):
you know, top four seed.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, just kind of a little more on that, James.
I mean, every year you're kind enough to join us
for the season, and it feels like every year we're
talking about seating and position and it revolves around not
being in the play in but being in the playoff
and getting into that six spot. So kind of where
do you sit now? You know, feeling I feel like
they're gonna get one of these top four seats. Do
(15:40):
you think it is a big deal? If they get
four or three or two? Kind of wear you out
with this team and what they need to do to
try to make that deep playoff run.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I have two thoughts. One, you don't want to be
in the playing game. If they're in the playing game again,
I'm gonna cut my pink finger off. I can't take it.
Seem drastic U. Two, you definitely want to if you
can get even though I don't think home court advantage
means that much anymore. I really don't. The way teams
(16:12):
can shoot the three and win on the road and
they're comfortable on the road and traveling, is it's better
on the road. I don't. I don't really, but it
would be nice to have some momentum at home for
a team who has been in the play in and
has to fight their way into the playoffs, just you know,
if they could get fourth seed. If not, it does
(16:34):
not matter. That's what I mean. You got to be
able to play, and you got to be able to
win on the road. So you know, any anything, you know,
one through six, you know, I think it's attainable. They
can get there. The playing game is just something they
need to avoid and they can avoid with the players
they have, and they've already proven that they can play,
(16:56):
so they got they got to get back to that.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Qualify this with you know, every player thinks their generation
is the best, you know, and they want to, you know,
push their era of basketball as the most dominant and
the one that would win in these fictitious what if
the eighties Lakers played the nineties Bulls played the twenty
teens Warriors kind of conversations. But I don't know if
(17:21):
you saw Lebron He went on Pat McAfee's show today,
was there for about an hour, and one of the
big takeaways, as it pertains to you, was he was
kind of talking about one that Giannis would average two
hundred and fifty points a game in the seventies, and
two that he feels as though players today have to
think the game a little bit more than maybe they
did before. Just kind of your reaction to his position
(17:44):
on those two things and your experience playing basketball in
the era you played it.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Well.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
The athlete today is definitely a better athlete, you know,
so question the science will tell you that they're better shape.
We had one trainer and Gary Vetti. And not only
was he the trainer, he was responsible for airline tickets,
getting everybody their keys in the hotel room and everything.
He wore a lot of keys, and you had to,
(18:14):
you know, you had to get a reservation to go
get treatment for him in his hotel room. You know,
maybe you might get fifteen twenty minutes to plug it
into some damn machine. So there's definitely a better athlete.
I don't know if some of the current athletes have
seen Wilt Chamberlain in college when he was running up
(18:38):
and down the floor, or Bill Russell. I don't know
if they've seen you know, Hevlicek, who who's pretty much
a you know, pretty much a runner and an athlete.
You know, the athlete today is definitely a better athlete.
Jannis going up against Bill Russell. Bill Russell was pretty
(18:59):
damn man. I've seen him jump over somebody's head and
a clip. So there was some athleticism back then. And
I think there are guys like doctor j or you know,
keem Elijahwan or Moses Malone who could you know, Rick
a little havoc, So I you know, I can say
(19:20):
that there's a better athlete, but I mean Magic was
pretty athletic, Michael Cooper, Byron's got We had some athletes
that were pretty athletic. So you can't really judge it
on opinions. I mean I think I think eighties, you know,
we had some pretty good athletes that could withstand today's game.
(19:42):
So but I do think there's a better a better
fit athlete with you know, with with with with charters
and load management and you know, really good treatment and
so yeah, I mean that's the way I look at it.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
And you mentioned it in the past. I mean you
played for Dean Smith. I mean so did Michael Jordan.
I mean, you guys that came up in the eighties
had years of college experience, where college coach taught you
fundamentals and how to think the game, which is what
Lebron says guys didn't do back then. It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
That then, I disagree with because you know, Kareem had
four years of college Bill Walton, Michael and I had three.
Uh you look at you look at Austin Reeves undrafted,
you know, but he had four years of drail work.
You know, he knows how to play. You don't have
(20:36):
to teach him at this level. And I find that
why guys have to think more if this is what
I feel that Lebron is thinking about, because they didn't
get what Austin Reeves got, so it doesn't come natural
to them as it should by the time you reach
the NBA. It should be a natural response to know
(20:56):
how to stunt and get back and you know, uh,
you know, know how to you know, do certain things
on the basketball court without having to go back to
basketball one on one. So, yeah, you're coming out of
high school, you're coming out of one year of college. Uh, yeah,
you're gonna have to think a lot bit more. And
(21:17):
I also think, you know, you know, guys thought a
lot more back then because we called We had play sets,
you know, we had we had about eighteen plays in
our playbooks, and the coaches were controlling all the plays.
They were just calling plays. You know. We had one
for Kareem, one for me. So yeah, we were well
thought out. So there's some disagreement in that that I just.
(21:39):
I mean, look, players today have to think more because
they don't get the I think, the fundamentals of college coaches.
And the guy who proves that more than anybody is
is a guy like Austin Reeves.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, he loves Austin Reechs. Have a great night out
there on Spectrum Sports Net, will be watching the one
and only James Worthy. There's nobody better. Thank you, James,
you got the best.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
James Worthy again brought to you by your Southern California
four Dealers. Remember if your vehicle was damaged by the
recent Los Angeles area fires, your Southern California four Dealers
offering you employee pricing plus no payments for one hundred
twenty days. La Strong built Ford Proud Matt.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
If he cuts off his pinky, it's gonna kill us
golf game, no doubt. It's gonna be terrible grip on.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
The unless he's gripping too hard with that pinky and
then maybe it'll help it.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I like Django reinhard, I get you know, you never know,
Johnny Tremaine.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
The Aightes just disappeared after I cut off my pinky
because the Dodgers were in the the Lakers are in the.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Playt Lebron taped that last night, by the way, just
in case he got butt hurt on the air, and
they had.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
To oh right, edit some stuff and they're playing today,
had a few f bombs. They could have edited out
the ninety thousand curse.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Words right or added more to make to add more
to make them more relatable. Is that more cool for
people to hear curse words out of Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I'm way into him now, man.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I liked it when he produced that song with two
chains like he was a music producer. That that's when
I was in. That's when I put off, pushed all
my chips into the middle. That a live guy coming
up back. All right, A big thank you, of course
(23:49):

everybody that's going to set up our show tomorrow and
all you listeners because we're going to be at Opening
Day at Dodger Stadium starting at noon, noon to three,
our favorite time slot for our favorite show. Maybe we'll
(24:10):
even have some cross talk, some good feelings, cross talk
to avoid other people that we may or may not
want to talk to. It's gonna be an extravaganza, fun
and excitement at Dodger Stadium tomorrow. I don't know how
many Opening Days we've done from the field, but it's
been a few. I think forty two. Okay, yes, just
(24:30):
like Jack Roberts.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Special number with the Dodgers, the same for us. Very exciting.
Always appreciate being out there, always appreciate being on the field.
It's a real to do, especially considering where the Dodgers
sit currently on the Muss landscape.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Last year was the most highly anticipated Opening Day ever
and we got Don Martin talking to Friedman about seeds.
This year even more highly anticipated. What will Happen Opening
Weekend is brought to you by the Hollywood Pantagious see
their new season because it's home run, get a seven
show package at Broadwayandhollywood dot Com. Among those shows, as

Speaker 3 (25:19):
We're going to hold hands clippers at Nick's pregame at
three thirty, tip off at four thirty. Here on a
five seventy LA Sports. That's why we're on early today
and off extremely early, but we'll still get your content.
Here comes the dead Guide Birthday of the day.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Well picked a six and a half minute song for this.
See if we can make it through half of that.
You know it's different. In the nineteen seventies, you can
penna seven minute ballad radio station would embrace it supposed
to cutting it down to two minutes and fifty seconds
because that's all kids have the time for these days.
(26:00):
As your maritime navigation show of record. And it's not close.
I mean, Petros, you're an honorary prick Port Royal Yacht Club.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
That's not true at all.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
P R weise, I don't like to ask you to
be a member.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
You did, I was, I was solicited. But if I
were to join a yacht club, I believe it would
be the King Harbor Yacht Club and that the chances
of me joining that yacht club are less than one percent.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Never say never Today's dead guy, Nathaniel Bodich. I'm just
trying to support your potential prickness. Were you to choose that,
why would I.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Want to be in a club with a bunch of
over officious old white people. You can't eat those salobbies,
those those are those are choices brought the uh.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Nate here Nathaniel Bowditch, founder of Modern Seafaring, a navigation man.
His book be read it belong to King Harbor or
Port roy Yacht Club.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Maybe even Fourth of July Yacht Club out out in
two Harbors.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Matt right, they would have The New American Practical Navigator,
published in eighteen two, still carried on board of every
commissioned US naval vessel. I think we recognized that s
has changed dramatically on land in the last two hundred
and twenty five years. On the open sea, not so
(27:24):
many me me. He was born in Salem, mass His
father a sailor, but grew afraid of the sea after
his ship went aground in seventeen seventy five and he
was wrecked for a while. It was a different time,
so when Nate was just ten, he had to leave
school to work with his father making barrels Cooperridge. But hey,
things picked up when he was indentured at twelve.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Pass me the mallet. You got it, Pops.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Indentured at twelve and spent the next nine years as
a book keeping apprentice to a ship chandler. At fourteen
he taught himself algebra, sixteen, taught himself calculus seventeen, taught
himself Latin and French so he could read Isaac Newton's masterpiece,
The Principia Mathematica. Not an easy read, let alone, not
in your native language. Point being kid was crazy smart.
(28:15):
My boy Will's crazy smart. At eighteen, while he was
looking through John Hamilton Moore's The New Practical Navigator, he
found thousands of errors, corrected them using math. The same
year he copied all the mathematical papers from the Royal
Society of London, a translation that was critical to the
development of David Vassay's favorite subject, astronomy. In the United States.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
You must be se Scorpio.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
The sea called. Finally, seventeen ninety five, he went on
the first of his four voyages as a ship's clerk
and captain's writer. When he returned four years later. He
got to work writing about his experience, using all his
notes to quote put down into the book. Nothing I
can't teach the crew end quote. On that trip, it
has said that every man of the crew of twelve,
(29:03):
including the ship's cook, became competent to take and calculate
lunar observations and to plot the correct position of the ship.
Per the instruction of Nathaniel So In eighteen oh two,
his book The American Practical Navigator first published. It became
the Western Hemisphere shipping industry standard for the next one
hundred and fifty years. His mathematical and his astronomical work
(29:29):
during this time earned him celebrity significant standing, elected into
the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical
Society offered the Chair of Mathematics and Physics at.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Harvard.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
He went through a few petticoats too. I bet some
smart checks that wanted to lay him.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah, turned him down. The chicks a Harvard. He loved
the chicks. Unfortunately, his first wife died seven months after marriage.
Studied meteors, studied the moon, studied orbits, studied comments, wrote
about all of them. The US Military Academy offered him
(30:09):
the chair in mathematics. Again he refused. By eighteen nineteen,
his international reputation had grown to the extent that he
was elected a member of the Royal Societies of Edinburgh
and London and the Royal Irish Academy. Incredibly intelligent, important,
impactful human being and no one could navigate the open seas.
(30:34):
He died at sixty four years old, like Nathaniel Bowditch.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
And we know the difference between astronomy and astrology. Okay,
that was the joke.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I don't want to inside joke people, idiots.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
All right, Matt, you're not done working. We'll do some
Korean titles today. Oh no, Yeah, you're a live guy.

to Catholic Kwan Dong University. Said to be a black
belt in Taekwondo Ti Kwan taekwon do. He's in the
(31:32):
boy band XO from twenty twelve and a couple of
their offshoot bands considered by Yeah it is the Big
One u XE Big One. Well XO Matt, since you've asked,
is considered by many to be the vocal powerhouse group
of any K pop group ever. They're the ones that
(31:56):
can blow your face off with their vocals. I don't
know what the vocal powerhouse equivalent. Maybe boys to men
as opposed to like Backstreet Boys or in sync. I
don't know, Yeah, I got you anyway, we've never talked
about this guy before. He's pretty popular. He's currently on
(32:17):
an all Asian tour, hairspray and his hair down in

storyline in the first one.

Like our show. The first the first ten years of
our show is Drink with God. The second ten years
of our show is Drink with God season two and
God Man. I hope season three is coming where my
kids are gonna be able to go to the Lutheran
school anymore.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
That's why we got the Vergin Connie Swale. We're gonna
sacrifice her brand new acorn market Horns. Don't mess up
my tempo. You know, that's just I think you read
that straight. You recognize as a man of music. That's crickets.
