fun Fact.

In effect, it's the Yeah We're three.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Fun fun fact full hour fun fact. This one really
punched me in the gut. Did you know three Musketeers
candy bar was name three Musketeers when it debuted because
underneath that milk chocolate coating, we're three flavors of nugat,
(02:10):
like Neapolitan ice cream, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. But during
World War two and rationing, they made it all chocolate
and never switched back.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I thought for sure it had to do with the
fact that it was invented by French rep stallion Es.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
That's our NP freaking union guy took our Burger joint
idea away and ran with it. You and I are
bringing back the original Three Musketeers.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
They do our Teasonal beer, they do our teasonal sodas,
they do our teasonal everything. But who does our teasonal cant? Well,
I guess sees candies. Damn it.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Well, what if we made it like one of them
protein things and it's like all stevia and protein nugat,
so we mark it as healthy. Here's a healthy Three Musketeers,
brought to.

They've hit a lot of big flies, a lot of
big fly a good amount of Jimmy Jacks.
Speaker 2 (05:50):

Fly on it.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Victor Rojas was a respected announcer.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
He was and no longer is that gets.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Most venues for the twenty twenty eight LA Summer Olympics
were announced today, and it's pretty sweet, Matt. They're gonna
do the track and field at the coliseum. We love
to see that, love it swimming at so far so
they're gonna cut so far down.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Well, finally I'm vindicated. It's the water table. You're right, Matt.
Just they didn't even have to dig a hole. It's
just gonna left that. They're gonna release that water table
on that.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Like vindicate. I was like, did I did I advocate
for something? Uh, They're gonna do some stuff at be
Moo like flag football and lacrosse. It's really popping off.
Dodger Stadium baseball where the eighty four games were played
to that's the best. USA won the silver medal, So
good luck to all the Olympianos. By the way, I was.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
There in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I saw the program from the exhibition Dodgers Stadium USA
VERSUS Japan game, said right, had the ticket and I
had the program from the nineteen eighty fourteen. Rod Dato
was the manager. Head coach McGuire was on the team. Yeah,
Scott Bankhead, Don August, Corey Snyder, Shane Mack say all
their names.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
That's some good Olympic knowledge, man, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
You know, Matt. The playing tournament starts tonight. Magic Hawk's
playing right now and I could not think of a matchup.
I care about Less and the Warriors and grizz with
John Morant. Warriors dig going through the metal detector.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Warriors dig a Lojah, you're a real idiot.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Well that will say whatever they want about me. The
Lakers will host the Tea Wolves in the first round
of the playoffs. Game one is Saturday night at the Crypto.
LA's got the three seed in the West. We're going
to talk some hoops. Next, Clippers will take on House
Nuggets in the first round. We've been talking about that
twelve thirty Saturday. On eleven fifty. Nico Iyamayava is still
(07:56):
a free agent. Where will he end up? Tulane, which
has no money they'd have to sell Tippotinas has pulled out.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
They could pull that off.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I mean, what's happening here in the Nico iamayavas like
a guy in an auction. He wants to wave his
paddle for a little bit of attention, but he doesn't
actually want to win and have to go to the
Cook Islands for fifteen thousand dollars. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah, he's hoping somebody outbids him. And Tennessee comes back
and says, hey man, this is stupid. Let's let's reconcile.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
This is crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Here's my number, call me fat Josh Hipel.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
North Carolina appears to be out of the running. Well
is UCLA. They don't have enough money to pay this guy.
How's this guy going to turn down two million plus
at Tennessee and end up playing at UCLA for DEDE.
Reese's gift cards? Steak Well, at least your home where
everything's five times more expensive. Welcome back, Nico. Ohio State
(08:53):
was at the White House yesterday and Ryan Day was
in front of the cameras, again with his beard, and
again the questions about his beard every surfaced. There are
accusations that the Ohio State head coach dies as beard black.
I believe I may have been the first to make
these accusations. Day's wife Christina Day insists his facial hair
(09:14):
is all natural. Christina responded to one beard truther online
saying Day has never dyed his beard in all the
time that she's known him. So she responded to a
tweet from former Petrosen Money Show guest Clay Travis. I've
known Ryan my entire life and he's never once died
his beard. Move on to the next narrative. That's not
(09:38):
a narrative. It's just an observation.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Your husband's beard looks stupid, so much so that appears
as though he may as you've talked about you shoe polish,
because it's so incredibly black.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
There's nobody on a beard that black. Nobody.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yes, that's not a narrative, it's just an observation. Narrative
would be, Hey, this guy is spending so much much
time searching for the perfect beard coloring that he's not
paying enough attention to his offensive scheme, and that's why
they're lose. That would be the narrative.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
You had put a stop to her abuse of the
English language.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Matt, right there, this is Move on to the Nickson narrative.
It's not a narrative. Your husband's beard looks stupid. That's
all this is.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Your husband is you are turning around to put on
your earrings and he is applying Beard Doe. They's somewhere
in your house that Beard Die is in.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Maybe is shoe polish?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Carl is coming. The call is coming from inside the house.
Missus day Christina, Well, Matt will talk some hoops in
the very next seing.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh this is kidding me. It's our time to shine.
This is our time of year.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Who would you rather play for, Fat Josh Hipel or
Deshaun Foster.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I think Fat Josh Hippel.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Thanks for listening, everybody. Dodger's Rockies coming up at seven
ten six. We will have Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck.
And in the world of the NBA, which we discussed
yesterday and the top story of the day, the Clippers
will take on House Nuggets and Coach Jokis tip off
(11:14):
at twelve thirty on AM eleven fifty. That game is Saturday,
so enjoy it all and we will be back on
tomorrow same time three o'clock as the Dodgers are on
a home stand. But right now it's time for the
Top Story of the day. Top stories start.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
For a second our top story pe. We continue to
focus on the association, the round ball. Everybody knows we
are hoop heads on the Petrosen Money Show and have
been all season. Yeah for sure, keeping tabs on all
the storylines.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
I don't throw trash away without, you know, making it
like a basketball shop.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
That's right, the scuttle butt, the hot takes. So what
we do here and you want to talk about storylines,
we got them in spades this NBA postseason. And I'm
not talking about canon Michael Malone in Denver and bringing
the salty aon for thirty minutes. We'll see if that's
what's pointed to is a defining reason of failure should
(12:18):
Nuggets lose to the Clippers in the first round after
being favored though, but a lot of people actually starting
to take the Clippers and that series at a value.
The line is already moving. I'm just talking about when
it comes to storylines in spades, the two teams in town,
and I'm not ashamed to admit it. You can choose
to do the same, or you can choose to not.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Are you telling me that I can? Are you just
making a I.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Want to speak for you. I'm speaking for myself. Oh
I'm eating it. I'm getting a D, a flaccid D
dragged across my face With this one. There is no
deny for all of the incoming that Reddick took from
this direction and the man sitting right here, it is
hard to argue that his inaugural season has been anything
(13:04):
but spectacular. Fifty wins is not easy to come by
in the National Basketball Association. You say that when you're
making a serious point. You don't say NBA a pro ball,
you say the National Basketball Association. Let alone in a
season that has been this competitive, when forty eight wins
(13:25):
get you the freaking eight seed the third seed, is
an incredible accomplishment. He did it with a major mid
season trade, losing to some degree an identity of the team,
an All NBA player, gaining another All NBA player, having
to adjust his defensive end and offensive sets to account
for one of the loss of one of the best
(13:47):
defenders in the game, and Anthony Davis adding one of,
if not the best offensive playmaker in the league. Luka
Doncic fifty wins in a rookie season when the Lakers
were picked to be in the eight to nine ten
and playing slot is in short, sensational. Now, that doesn't
mean I like the condescension. It doesn't mean I like
(14:09):
the pompous distribution of basketball lectures. But I can sure
and as S tell you who does the Lakers, they're fans,
they're players because it's working.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Oh, we love to be spoken down to as Laker fans.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
One of my favorite things. The thing about this year's Lakers,
not a single player on this team is worse than
they were the year prior. Not one Lebron is playing
better than last year at forty. Austin Reeves has worked
his way into perennial All Star and maybe scratching just
outside all NBA level play. Ruiy Hachimura is right in
(14:47):
step with his numbers from last year offensively and has
been considerably better defensively. JJ Reddick helped Max Christy turn
into the team's best perimeter defender and is likely going
to get a lot of money from Dallas. His minutes
went up, and he has continued to produce. Jackson Hayes
having the best season of his career, shooting seventy two percent,
grabbing the most rebounds he's ever snagged in a season,
(15:07):
blocking over a shot per game, even gave Vincent massive
a signing by Rob Polinka has jumped the last month,
putting up ten points on forty four percent shooting from
three in March. Now it's not gonna have it, not
with Lebron and Ad and now Lebron and Luka Dancic
on the team and Kenny Atkinson. I would like to
(15:28):
point out the guy who was stumped for on this
show to get the job as a head coach of
a Lakers. Hey hire professional, hire, a guy that's been
there and has proven it. Kenny Atkinson is going to
win the Coach of the Year after leaving the Cavaliers
to the best record in these But.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
You're exonerated there.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I am right. I feel like at least the d's
not flashed anymore, which I don't know if that's better
or worse, but still being dragged across. But at least
there's something. You hear it from other coaches and analysts
and it pere ready to receive it. I'm ready. How
good Reddick's set plays are out of timeouts? Oh, the
defensive scheme was when they were the best at it
(16:03):
in the league for a couple months stretch, and really
looking back on it now. It's sort of the stuff
that and again it doesn't it's a sour taste as
I spit these words from this gap tooth mouth of mine.
It's the brownie stuff that really set the negative tone.
(16:25):
I think for me to find an inability to get
over and not be able to see the forest for
the trees, and and maybe what a good job he
was doing coaching. It was the Bronnie stuff. Well he
finished so strong here, some of the Lebron boot licking.
But then I guess you gotta do. It's what you
(16:47):
sign up for.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Well, Laker Laker, you know, Laker social media had to
do it today. Because Luca had the number one selling jersey,
they had to be like, well, Lebron's number three. So
together we have the best selling jersey and the number
one combined.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It's like, OK, just go with the number one. Just
just go with the number one.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
I'll try to make it a thing.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
The brownie thing is what did it? I realized. I'm like, yeah,
I think, you know, Don mcclaim would come on and
talk about him. I'm kind of kind of into what
he's doing over there, you know. I like the like
the sets, like the scheme, these guys are playing really
hard on defense man and that's that tells you that
they buy into the coat. But I'm just like, eh,
Brownie earned it. You know. Let me just say this, like,
are you saying that he's developing getting better? That's what
(17:32):
we've seen all along. Yeah, you just didn't want to listen.
I mean that was annoying.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
That's their company line. That was annoying when Jeanie Buss
said it to us. But she drove an hour and
we just sat there and wore it.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah, but yes, it left a bitter taste. There's smug
deliveries of kicking the balls too, and who knows.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
You know, if if the Lakers perform well in the playoffs,
then it'll you really will have to eat.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Crow here, Matt most definitely.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
But you know you won't have to. I mean, this
is regular season Crow you're eating.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I mean, yes, I'm eating regular season Crow right here.
That is what I'm eating because instead of being celebrated
as he should be, and he can shove it in
the face of all the doubters who said that, you know,
this was a failed idea from the start. Remember, both
things can be true. He was hired because he hosted
(18:21):
a podcast with Lebron and he's a really good coach.
They can both be true and you can be upset
about the first part of that and totally fine with
the second part of that, And that's kind of where
I've settled in. I still fully believe that JJ Reddick
was not hired because he had some sort of incredible
presentation to the team that they could not possibly fathom
walking away from, and they wanted to get him Luke
(18:43):
Walton style a year early instead of two years too
late and watching him go be successful elsewhere. I think
it was just, hey, man, Lebron likes this guy. He's
hated every other guy we've had even won that won
a championship, so let's.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Just hire him. Say it like this, you know, I mean,
there's teams manipulated and coerced and coagulated and absolutely bent
to the will of Lebron that ended up winning championships.
So that doesn't mean you have to because they had success,
doesn't mean you have to like the way they did
(19:16):
it or the way they go about it and say
it doesn't rub you the wrong way. Now, these guys
have not won a championship, not yet, not yet.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
But they look pretty darn good. It look it's the
best storyline in the NBA, is what they inherited. Team
trades Luca say. They doubles on it today, doubles down,
doubles down on it. Today we had a special session
with the media. Here's what I got on that. No cameras,
no recording devices. Excuse me, sir, what is that?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
It is?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Team trades Luca to win now? They say they need
buying and competitors and defense first wins. All that bs
when when sending out one of the best players and
on top of that like one of the most exciting
players in the league. There's just no that it makes
sense what they did. Let alone, Like you said, today,
they keep doubling. Back to my story, sam Jahs, Luca
(20:08):
leads the Lakers in minutes, in points and rebounds, second
and assists. He leads the team in wait for it, steals.
I know that's not on bold defense, but still extra
possessions from defense? Is still defense win a title? Should
they win a title or even just make the finals?
I mean you might have conquest, war, famine and death
(20:30):
right into town in Dallas if that's how this thing
ends up. And are they favored to win the West. No,
but they're the second favorites behind Oklahoma City. And I
don't think it's that hard to close your eyes and
imagine them winning twelve out of twenty one games through
the Western Conference playoffs to get there. Speaking of the
(20:53):
not only is he in all NBA player, but it's
also exciting to watch. And how do you get rid
of that the other side of town? Why all NBA
player not necessarily exciting to watch?
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Oh, he was so happy last night at the Padre game.
Though he was, I've never seen him smile on his
face like a hey, fun guy.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
The Clippers had a choice a ditch them all, keep
them all, keep one of the three, keep two of
the three, and they chose the last. Hand it out
big money extensions to James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, the
third of the three, the third best of the three,
(21:43):
the most in my opinion, overrated player in relation to
his compensation and league history. Paul George, no surprise, wasn't
willing to come back for a small discount, and hey, congratulations, Clippers,
sixers got what they paid for a perennially injured, not
a winner player, never was, never will be regular season numbers,
(22:08):
great playoffs a joke, and he gets hurt at the
most critical moments of a season. I thoroughly believe. Addition,
by subtraction, getting Paul George out of La the dark
cloud of the removal of Sega in five draft picks
that brought him here and his delivering absolutely nothing over
(22:31):
his half decade was a ray of sunshine when it
exited the building. Now, as James Harden suffered through some
of the same things in his career, Sure it's not
the overall numbers, it's the style of play he did not.
Now add James Harden disappears in pivotal games. So remember,
if this thing's knotted up at two and it's a
(22:54):
game five, here's how these things typically go. Last year,
tied to two with the Maps, game five, hard and
two for twelve four turnovers minus twenty five on the court.
Year before in Philadelphia, tied two to two with the Celtics,
Game five four for sixteen thirteen points minus ten. Year
before in Philadelphia, Game five in Miami tied two to two,
(23:15):
five for thirteen fourteen points minus twenty nine on the court.
So not going to ignore history, let alone recent history,
like the last three seasons when it comes to Harden,
but this you could argue has been one of and
this is an All NBA player, This is a league MVP.
This is one of his best seasons that he's ever had.
(23:36):
And it was a Game seven atmosphere Sunday in San Francisco,
surrounded by poop and needles outside, a sterile yet excitable
atmosphere inside, and by sterile I mean clean, not boring. Yeah,
he was exceptional, twelve of or thirteen points to get
the win, to get the week off, the Warriors have
to play tonight.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Why they call it the Big Hospital of this.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Come in here and you won't get tuberculosis or hepatitis.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
They get ready for Denver with a week off. On
top of that missing the first half of the season.
But now healthy, Kawhi is playing like the best player
in basketball again. Down the stretch it was actually I said,
he's not entertaining, but it was kind of fun to
watch him rough up Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry and
swallow them up with them big old. I know some
people think the most defining feature on Kawhi are his thighs. Yeah, well,
(24:24):
the Kai often referred to as quads, but some others
say thought.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Well, you know he's got the hamstring part too, but.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
It certainly seems like the hands or what people talk
about most.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Well, that's why they call him claw thive.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I mean that's really working it. Clawth I Kawhi Leonard
and you call him what claw.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
THI love his thighs and his mits swallowed up.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Steph defensively got whatever shot he wanted whenever he wonted.
The last five years pe street lights just spotlights, stupid,
we're the blue collars. It just didn't work. But this
year with those two and our guy all along when
he was a Laker and now that he's a Clipper,
big zoo who's become and we have talked about it
(25:14):
for a while. One of the best damn centers in
the game and the same conversation as Rudy Gilbert. He's
freaking good seventeen and twelve and could be the X
factor in this game and this series. I should say
against Denver, he's played eighty of eighty two thirty three
minutes a game. Hell of a rim protector, knock off
the big bad Nugs, and this team traded punches with
(25:37):
the thunder and march with Kawhi on the quarter cloth
thigh is they lost one O three, one on one.
When I'm speaking what I'm trying to do here, when
I'm LeVar ballin with two feet here is I'm trying
to speak it and you exist too. Yeah, I feel

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Both teams are in a good position. Yeah, and it
puts the city in a good position because they're both
playing well. And then you have the Dodgers, which is
a big story and the Angels are playing well. I
mean it's a real cloth eye situation of the upper
and lower body are really working together right now in
the city. Matt, and I hope you're right. See there's
me being positive about SELI Okay, way to go, everybody.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Similar The Dodgers are working hard and we appreciate their
efforts as we are your home of the World Series
champion Dodgers. The Rockies managed to at least scratch a
couple runs across the plate last night, but the Dodgers
victorious snapped their losing straight. Dodgers on deck at six,

five matchup in the Western Conference Playoffs tip off at
twelve thirty on AM eleven fifty. We are playing all
the games on the station.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
You know, Matt, it's a stretch to call him a
brit but it's a stretch to call him an American
in many ways, so you know we're going to give
him the obligatory.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
British News, it's time for PMS.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
British News, United Kingdom, English News, It's time for British News.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Cheerio straight gets out.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Maybe the only writer born in America that the Brits
will ever claim is Henry James. Yes man, Yes, get
in the move brother. One hundred and seventy two years old.
He would have been today British American, highly regarded author.
We're referring to the literary realism, straightforward, faithful, unexaggerated style.
(28:28):
He transitioned that to modernism. So a little bit of that,
a little bit of modernism, which is like self conscious,
a diversion from the traditional. James was born in New York.
His father was a lecturer and philosopher. His brother, William James,
became a famous psychologist. His mother moved the family back.
(28:56):
Those guys are going to reappear because the Padres are strong.
Back to England and then France. We love that.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Moved to France.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Newport, Rhode Island. He spends up time there. He hurt
his back fighting a fire and that made him unfit
for service in the Union Army. Yes it's a lucky bridge. Yes, Yes,
A couple of his brothers did serve and survived.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Oh miracle.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Henry went to Harvard Law, pursued interests in literature. He
knew everybody, Matt, all your boys, Dickens, Whitman, George Elliot, Holly,
Wendel Holmes, Oh Dubbach, who is the best of Dodge?
(29:56):
And you know the Padres were pretty good too. Matt
his first book, The American, about a ghost American on
his first tour of Europe. I don't know if you
know anything about that, how ghosh. One of my favorites
(30:17):
Daisy Miller, which is a novella about a loud American
chick in Rome. How nineteenth century Matt many notable works.
Portrait of a Lady, The Portrait of a Lady, another
novel about a spirited American woman in elegant Europe. Another
(30:42):
clash between the new world and the old. The Turn
of the Screw, which I read and I was very
unhappy ton't learn it was not about Djscrew and Michael
five thousand watts. Yes, had nothing to do with Screw.
It was a gothic horror fiction. The Golden Bowl and
(31:04):
nineteen oh four about family relationships, beautifully written, very complex stuff.
Well respected, often made into films and shows in many languages,
movies and all over the world. Never married, but nobody
really knows if he was straight or if he was gay.
Kind of like Mike Piazza, just kidding, just kidding, kids,
(31:29):
affectionate in his correspondence with both men and women. That's
what I'm trying to say, Matt, Transit.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Is a different time, you know.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Oh yeah, I mean, can a Transatlantic literary star be
held to the binds of standard sexual attraction? I think not.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I ask you, Matt, how ghost.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
What to be into dudes.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Violently?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Henry James is beloved everywhere he lived. There's statues and
portraits and museums and plaques. He died at seventy two
in nineteen sixty.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
You're a live guy, Victor. If you're listening, this one's
for you. We need to get out of space and
we need to explore oceans.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
I thought it was like Jimmy Jack Victor Roha, I'm sorry,
Victor Jacobs. Oh yeah, Vic Jacobs. You know, Vic must
have been really against the Katy Perry Seminow.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Oh yeah, today's we're wasting time.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
A live guy.

fun Fact.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
In effect, it's the Yeah We're three.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Fun fun fact full hour fun fact. This one really
punched me in the gut. Did you know three Musketeers
candy bar was name three Musketeers when it debuted because
underneath that milk chocolate coating, we're three flavors of nugat,
(02:10):
like Neapolitan ice cream, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. But during
World War two and rationing, they made it all chocolate
and never switched back.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I thought for sure it had to do with the
fact that it was invented by French rep stallion Es.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
That's our NP freaking union guy took our Burger joint
idea away and ran with it. You and I are
bringing back the original Three Musketeers.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
They do our Teasonal beer, they do our teasonal sodas,
they do our teasonal everything. But who does our teasonal cant? Well,
I guess sees candies. Damn it.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Well, what if we made it like one of them
protein things and it's like all stevia and protein nugat,
so we mark it as healthy. Here's a healthy Three Musketeers,
brought to.

Man, Now imagine it with two more flavors in it.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I don't I mean, I don't know if I could

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Well, let's dispatch someone to Oklahoma City to cover it
for us.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I wish we still had callin ye living on the outskirts. Actually, no,
I don't glad he's here.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
No, that did not go well.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
First.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
First, were you welcomed there?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
No Chinese Japanese guy in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I wasn't welcome here at all.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
As a matter of fact, we once let me call
a high school game his first minor league re haveb assignments.
It's his off season toe surgery. The Angels are nine
and six Matt and they're hot. They're in first place.
They're flapping their seraphenus wing.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Big fly Jimmy Jack Jack in Texas taking on the Rangers. Yes,
the Dodgers are in third, the Angels are in first,
and we're halfway through April. The season might as well
be over and the Angels will be hoisting the Commissioner's true.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
They've hit a lot of big flies, a lot of
big fly a good amount of Jimmy Jacks.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Maybe you should make a t shirt that says big
Fly on it.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Victor Rojas was a respected announcer.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
He was and no longer is that gets.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Most venues for the twenty twenty eight LA Summer Olympics
were announced today, and it's pretty sweet, Matt. They're gonna
do the track and field at the coliseum. We love
to see that, love it swimming at so far so
they're gonna cut so far down.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Well, finally I'm vindicated. It's the water table. You're right, Matt.
Just they didn't even have to dig a hole. It's
just gonna left that. They're gonna release that water table
on that.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Like vindicate. I was like, did I did I advocate
for something? Uh, They're gonna do some stuff at be
Moo like flag football and lacrosse. It's really popping off.
Dodger Stadium baseball where the eighty four games were played
to that's the best. USA won the silver medal, So
good luck to all the Olympianos. By the way, I was.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
There in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I saw the program from the exhibition Dodgers Stadium USA
VERSUS Japan game, said right, had the ticket and I
had the program from the nineteen eighty fourteen. Rod Dato
was the manager. Head coach McGuire was on the team. Yeah,
Scott Bankhead, Don August, Corey Snyder, Shane Mack say all
their names.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
That's some good Olympic knowledge, man, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
You know, Matt. The playing tournament starts tonight. Magic Hawk's
playing right now and I could not think of a matchup.
I care about Less and the Warriors and grizz with
John Morant. Warriors dig going through the metal detector.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Warriors dig a Lojah, you're a real idiot.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Well that will say whatever they want about me. The
Lakers will host the Tea Wolves in the first round
of the playoffs. Game one is Saturday night at the Crypto.
LA's got the three seed in the West. We're going
to talk some hoops. Next, Clippers will take on House
Nuggets in the first round. We've been talking about that
twelve thirty Saturday. On eleven fifty. Nico Iyamayava is still
(07:56):
a free agent. Where will he end up? Tulane, which
has no money they'd have to sell Tippotinas has pulled out.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
They could pull that off.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I mean, what's happening here in the Nico iamayavas like
a guy in an auction. He wants to wave his
paddle for a little bit of attention, but he doesn't
actually want to win and have to go to the
Cook Islands for fifteen thousand dollars. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah, he's hoping somebody outbids him. And Tennessee comes back
and says, hey man, this is stupid. Let's let's reconcile.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
This is crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Here's my number, call me fat Josh Hipel.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
North Carolina appears to be out of the running. Well
is UCLA. They don't have enough money to pay this guy.
How's this guy going to turn down two million plus
at Tennessee and end up playing at UCLA for DEDE.
Reese's gift cards? Steak Well, at least your home where
everything's five times more expensive. Welcome back, Nico. Ohio State
(08:53):
was at the White House yesterday and Ryan Day was
in front of the cameras, again with his beard, and
again the questions about his beard every surfaced. There are
accusations that the Ohio State head coach dies as beard black.
I believe I may have been the first to make
these accusations. Day's wife Christina Day insists his facial hair
(09:14):
is all natural. Christina responded to one beard truther online
saying Day has never dyed his beard in all the
time that she's known him. So she responded to a
tweet from former Petrosen Money Show guest Clay Travis. I've
known Ryan my entire life and he's never once died
his beard. Move on to the next narrative. That's not
(09:38):
a narrative. It's just an observation.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Your husband's beard looks stupid, so much so that appears
as though he may as you've talked about you shoe polish,
because it's so incredibly black.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
There's nobody on a beard that black. Nobody.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yes, that's not a narrative, it's just an observation. Narrative
would be, Hey, this guy is spending so much much
time searching for the perfect beard coloring that he's not
paying enough attention to his offensive scheme, and that's why
they're lose. That would be the narrative.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
You had put a stop to her abuse of the
English language.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Matt, right there, this is Move on to the Nickson narrative.
It's not a narrative. Your husband's beard looks stupid. That's
all this is.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Your husband is you are turning around to put on
your earrings and he is applying Beard Doe. They's somewhere
in your house that Beard Die is in.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Maybe is shoe polish?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Carl is coming. The call is coming from inside the house.
Missus day Christina, Well, Matt will talk some hoops in
the very next seing.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh this is kidding me. It's our time to shine.
This is our time of year.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Who would you rather play for, Fat Josh Hipel or
Deshaun Foster.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I think Fat Josh Hippel.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Thanks for listening, everybody. Dodger's Rockies coming up at seven
ten six. We will have Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck.
And in the world of the NBA, which we discussed
yesterday and the top story of the day, the Clippers
will take on House Nuggets and Coach Jokis tip off
(11:14):
at twelve thirty on AM eleven fifty. That game is Saturday,
so enjoy it all and we will be back on
tomorrow same time three o'clock as the Dodgers are on
a home stand. But right now it's time for the
Top Story of the day. Top stories start.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
For a second our top story pe. We continue to
focus on the association, the round ball. Everybody knows we
are hoop heads on the Petrosen Money Show and have
been all season. Yeah for sure, keeping tabs on all
the storylines.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
I don't throw trash away without, you know, making it
like a basketball shop.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
That's right, the scuttle butt, the hot takes. So what
we do here and you want to talk about storylines,
we got them in spades this NBA postseason. And I'm
not talking about canon Michael Malone in Denver and bringing
the salty aon for thirty minutes. We'll see if that's
what's pointed to is a defining reason of failure should
(12:18):
Nuggets lose to the Clippers in the first round after
being favored though, but a lot of people actually starting
to take the Clippers and that series at a value.
The line is already moving. I'm just talking about when
it comes to storylines in spades, the two teams in town,
and I'm not ashamed to admit it. You can choose
to do the same, or you can choose to not.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Are you telling me that I can? Are you just
making a I.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Want to speak for you. I'm speaking for myself. Oh
I'm eating it. I'm getting a D, a flaccid D
dragged across my face With this one. There is no
deny for all of the incoming that Reddick took from
this direction and the man sitting right here, it is
hard to argue that his inaugural season has been anything
(13:04):
but spectacular. Fifty wins is not easy to come by
in the National Basketball Association. You say that when you're
making a serious point. You don't say NBA a pro ball,
you say the National Basketball Association. Let alone in a
season that has been this competitive, when forty eight wins
(13:25):
get you the freaking eight seed the third seed, is
an incredible accomplishment. He did it with a major mid
season trade, losing to some degree an identity of the team,
an All NBA player, gaining another All NBA player, having
to adjust his defensive end and offensive sets to account
for one of the loss of one of the best
(13:47):
defenders in the game, and Anthony Davis adding one of,
if not the best offensive playmaker in the league. Luka
Doncic fifty wins in a rookie season when the Lakers
were picked to be in the eight to nine ten
and playing slot is in short, sensational. Now, that doesn't
mean I like the condescension. It doesn't mean I like
(14:09):
the pompous distribution of basketball lectures. But I can sure
and as S tell you who does the Lakers, they're fans,
they're players because it's working.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Oh, we love to be spoken down to as Laker fans.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
One of my favorite things. The thing about this year's Lakers,
not a single player on this team is worse than
they were the year prior. Not one Lebron is playing
better than last year at forty. Austin Reeves has worked
his way into perennial All Star and maybe scratching just
outside all NBA level play. Ruiy Hachimura is right in
(14:47):
step with his numbers from last year offensively and has
been considerably better defensively. JJ Reddick helped Max Christy turn
into the team's best perimeter defender and is likely going
to get a lot of money from Dallas. His minutes
went up, and he has continued to produce. Jackson Hayes
having the best season of his career, shooting seventy two percent,
grabbing the most rebounds he's ever snagged in a season,
(15:07):
blocking over a shot per game, even gave Vincent massive
a signing by Rob Polinka has jumped the last month,
putting up ten points on forty four percent shooting from
three in March. Now it's not gonna have it, not
with Lebron and Ad and now Lebron and Luka Dancic
on the team and Kenny Atkinson. I would like to
(15:28):
point out the guy who was stumped for on this
show to get the job as a head coach of
a Lakers. Hey hire professional, hire, a guy that's been
there and has proven it. Kenny Atkinson is going to
win the Coach of the Year after leaving the Cavaliers
to the best record in these But.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
You're exonerated there.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I am right. I feel like at least the d's
not flashed anymore, which I don't know if that's better
or worse, but still being dragged across. But at least
there's something. You hear it from other coaches and analysts
and it pere ready to receive it. I'm ready. How
good Reddick's set plays are out of timeouts? Oh, the
defensive scheme was when they were the best at it
(16:03):
in the league for a couple months stretch, and really
looking back on it now. It's sort of the stuff
that and again it doesn't it's a sour taste as
I spit these words from this gap tooth mouth of mine.
It's the brownie stuff that really set the negative tone.
(16:25):
I think for me to find an inability to get
over and not be able to see the forest for
the trees, and and maybe what a good job he
was doing coaching. It was the Bronnie stuff. Well he
finished so strong here, some of the Lebron boot licking.
But then I guess you gotta do. It's what you
(16:47):
sign up for.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Well, Laker Laker, you know, Laker social media had to
do it today. Because Luca had the number one selling jersey,
they had to be like, well, Lebron's number three. So
together we have the best selling jersey and the number
one combined.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It's like, OK, just go with the number one. Just
just go with the number one.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
I'll try to make it a thing.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
The brownie thing is what did it? I realized. I'm like, yeah,
I think, you know, Don mcclaim would come on and
talk about him. I'm kind of kind of into what
he's doing over there, you know. I like the like
the sets, like the scheme, these guys are playing really
hard on defense man and that's that tells you that
they buy into the coat. But I'm just like, eh,
Brownie earned it. You know. Let me just say this, like,
are you saying that he's developing getting better? That's what
(17:32):
we've seen all along. Yeah, you just didn't want to listen.
I mean that was annoying.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
That's their company line. That was annoying when Jeanie Buss
said it to us. But she drove an hour and
we just sat there and wore it.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah, but yes, it left a bitter taste. There's smug
deliveries of kicking the balls too, and who knows.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
You know, if if the Lakers perform well in the playoffs,
then it'll you really will have to eat.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Crow here, Matt most definitely.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
But you know you won't have to. I mean, this
is regular season Crow you're eating.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I mean, yes, I'm eating regular season Crow right here.
That is what I'm eating because instead of being celebrated
as he should be, and he can shove it in
the face of all the doubters who said that, you know,
this was a failed idea from the start. Remember, both
things can be true. He was hired because he hosted
(18:21):
a podcast with Lebron and he's a really good coach.
They can both be true and you can be upset
about the first part of that and totally fine with
the second part of that, And that's kind of where
I've settled in. I still fully believe that JJ Reddick
was not hired because he had some sort of incredible
presentation to the team that they could not possibly fathom
walking away from, and they wanted to get him Luke
(18:43):
Walton style a year early instead of two years too
late and watching him go be successful elsewhere. I think
it was just, hey, man, Lebron likes this guy. He's
hated every other guy we've had even won that won
a championship, so let's.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Just hire him. Say it like this, you know, I mean,
there's teams manipulated and coerced and coagulated and absolutely bent
to the will of Lebron that ended up winning championships.
So that doesn't mean you have to because they had success,
doesn't mean you have to like the way they did
(19:16):
it or the way they go about it and say
it doesn't rub you the wrong way. Now, these guys
have not won a championship, not yet, not yet.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
But they look pretty darn good. It look it's the
best storyline in the NBA, is what they inherited. Team
trades Luca say. They doubles on it today, doubles down,
doubles down on it. Today we had a special session
with the media. Here's what I got on that. No cameras,
no recording devices. Excuse me, sir, what is that?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
It is?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Team trades Luca to win now? They say they need
buying and competitors and defense first wins. All that bs
when when sending out one of the best players and
on top of that like one of the most exciting
players in the league. There's just no that it makes
sense what they did. Let alone, Like you said, today,
they keep doubling. Back to my story, sam Jahs, Luca
(20:08):
leads the Lakers in minutes, in points and rebounds, second
and assists. He leads the team in wait for it, steals.
I know that's not on bold defense, but still extra
possessions from defense? Is still defense win a title? Should
they win a title or even just make the finals?
I mean you might have conquest, war, famine and death
(20:30):
right into town in Dallas if that's how this thing
ends up. And are they favored to win the West. No,
but they're the second favorites behind Oklahoma City. And I
don't think it's that hard to close your eyes and
imagine them winning twelve out of twenty one games through
the Western Conference playoffs to get there. Speaking of the
(20:53):
not only is he in all NBA player, but it's
also exciting to watch. And how do you get rid
of that the other side of town? Why all NBA
player not necessarily exciting to watch?
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Oh, he was so happy last night at the Padre game.
Though he was, I've never seen him smile on his
face like a hey, fun guy.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
The Clippers had a choice a ditch them all, keep
them all, keep one of the three, keep two of
the three, and they chose the last. Hand it out
big money extensions to James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, the
third of the three, the third best of the three,
(21:43):
the most in my opinion, overrated player in relation to
his compensation and league history. Paul George, no surprise, wasn't
willing to come back for a small discount, and hey, congratulations, Clippers,
sixers got what they paid for a perennially injured, not
a winner player, never was, never will be regular season numbers,
(22:08):
great playoffs a joke, and he gets hurt at the
most critical moments of a season. I thoroughly believe. Addition,
by subtraction, getting Paul George out of La the dark
cloud of the removal of Sega in five draft picks
that brought him here and his delivering absolutely nothing over
(22:31):
his half decade was a ray of sunshine when it
exited the building. Now, as James Harden suffered through some
of the same things in his career, Sure it's not
the overall numbers, it's the style of play he did not.
Now add James Harden disappears in pivotal games. So remember,
if this thing's knotted up at two and it's a
(22:54):
game five, here's how these things typically go. Last year,
tied to two with the Maps, game five, hard and
two for twelve four turnovers minus twenty five on the court.
Year before in Philadelphia, tied two to two with the Celtics,
Game five four for sixteen thirteen points minus ten. Year
before in Philadelphia, Game five in Miami tied two to two,
(23:15):
five for thirteen fourteen points minus twenty nine on the court.
So not going to ignore history, let alone recent history,
like the last three seasons when it comes to Harden,
but this you could argue has been one of and
this is an All NBA player, This is a league MVP.
This is one of his best seasons that he's ever had.
(23:36):
And it was a Game seven atmosphere Sunday in San Francisco,
surrounded by poop and needles outside, a sterile yet excitable
atmosphere inside, and by sterile I mean clean, not boring. Yeah,
he was exceptional, twelve of or thirteen points to get
the win, to get the week off, the Warriors have
to play tonight.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Why they call it the Big Hospital of this.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Come in here and you won't get tuberculosis or hepatitis.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
They get ready for Denver with a week off. On
top of that missing the first half of the season.
But now healthy, Kawhi is playing like the best player
in basketball again. Down the stretch it was actually I said,
he's not entertaining, but it was kind of fun to
watch him rough up Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry and
swallow them up with them big old. I know some
people think the most defining feature on Kawhi are his thighs. Yeah, well,
(24:24):
the Kai often referred to as quads, but some others
say thought.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Well, you know he's got the hamstring part too, but.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
It certainly seems like the hands or what people talk
about most.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Well, that's why they call him claw thive.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I mean that's really working it. Clawth I Kawhi Leonard
and you call him what claw.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
THI love his thighs and his mits swallowed up.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Steph defensively got whatever shot he wanted whenever he wonted.
The last five years pe street lights just spotlights, stupid,
we're the blue collars. It just didn't work. But this
year with those two and our guy all along when
he was a Laker and now that he's a Clipper,
big zoo who's become and we have talked about it
(25:14):
for a while. One of the best damn centers in
the game and the same conversation as Rudy Gilbert. He's
freaking good seventeen and twelve and could be the X
factor in this game and this series. I should say
against Denver, he's played eighty of eighty two thirty three
minutes a game. Hell of a rim protector, knock off
the big bad Nugs, and this team traded punches with
(25:37):
the thunder and march with Kawhi on the quarter cloth
thigh is they lost one O three, one on one.
When I'm speaking what I'm trying to do here, when
I'm LeVar ballin with two feet here is I'm trying
to speak it and you exist too. Yeah, I feel
like this really could be a year. I feel like
we could get them both going at it. Lakers be Clippers.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Both teams are in a good position. Yeah, and it
puts the city in a good position because they're both
playing well. And then you have the Dodgers, which is
a big story and the Angels are playing well. I
mean it's a real cloth eye situation of the upper
and lower body are really working together right now in
the city. Matt, and I hope you're right. See there's
me being positive about SELI Okay, way to go, everybody.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (26:20):

Comparable audience.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Similar The Dodgers are working hard and we appreciate their
efforts as we are your home of the World Series
champion Dodgers. The Rockies managed to at least scratch a
couple runs across the plate last night, but the Dodgers
victorious snapped their losing straight. Dodgers on deck at six,
first pitch at seven from the gallupin Motors Broadcast booth,

the games on the station.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
You know, Matt, it's a stretch to call him a
brit but it's a stretch to call him an American
in many ways, so you know we're going to give
him the obligatory.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
British News, it's time for PMS.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
British News, United Kingdom, English News, It's time for British News.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Cheerio straight gets out.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Maybe the only writer born in America that the Brits
will ever claim is Henry James. Yes man, Yes, get
in the move brother. One hundred and seventy two years old.
He would have been today British American, highly regarded author.
We're referring to the literary realism, straightforward, faithful, unexaggerated style.
(28:28):
He transitioned that to modernism. So a little bit of that,
a little bit of modernism, which is like self conscious,
a diversion from the traditional. James was born in New York.
His father was a lecturer and philosopher. His brother, William James,
became a famous psychologist. His mother moved the family back.
(28:56):
Those guys are going to reappear because the Padres are strong.
Back to England and then France. We love that.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Moved to France.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Newport, Rhode Island. He spends up time there. He hurt
his back fighting a fire and that made him unfit
for service in the Union Army. Yes it's a lucky bridge. Yes, Yes,
A couple of his brothers did serve and survived.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Oh miracle.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Henry went to Harvard Law, pursued interests in literature. He
knew everybody, Matt, all your boys, Dickens, Whitman, George Elliot, Holly,
Wendel Holmes, Oh Dubbach, who is the best of Dodge?
(29:56):
And you know the Padres were pretty good too. Matt
his first book, The American, about a ghost American on
his first tour of Europe. I don't know if you
know anything about that, how ghosh. One of my favorites
(30:17):
Daisy Miller, which is a novella about a loud American
chick in Rome. How nineteenth century Matt many notable works.
Portrait of a Lady, The Portrait of a Lady, another
novel about a spirited American woman in elegant Europe. Another
(30:42):
clash between the new world and the old. The Turn
of the Screw, which I read and I was very
unhappy ton't learn it was not about Djscrew and Michael
five thousand watts. Yes, had nothing to do with Screw.
It was a gothic horror fiction. The Golden Bowl and
(31:04):
nineteen oh four about family relationships, beautifully written, very complex stuff.
Well respected, often made into films and shows in many languages,
movies and all over the world. Never married, but nobody
really knows if he was straight or if he was gay.
Kind of like Mike Piazza, just kidding, just kidding, kids,
(31:29):
affectionate in his correspondence with both men and women. That's
what I'm trying to say, Matt, Transit.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Is a different time, you know.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Oh yeah, I mean, can a Transatlantic literary star be
held to the binds of standard sexual attraction? I think not.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I ask you, Matt, how ghost.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
What to be into dudes.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Violently?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Henry James is beloved everywhere he lived. There's statues and
portraits and museums and plaques. He died at seventy two
in nineteen sixty.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
You're a live guy, Victor. If you're listening, this one's
for you. We need to get out of space and
we need to explore oceans.

Victor Jacobs. Oh yeah, Vic Jacobs. You know, Vic must
have been really against the Katy Perry Seminow.
