(01:14):
Hit that follow button get the latest notifications like when
the podcast posts. So perhaps you'll listening to this one
on demand because of the incredibly early start. But you
can always stream the show through the iHeartRadio app as well.
And I know it's not entirely reliable, Pee, but I
don't appreciate the false alarm yesterday the tim Kate's delivered

(01:34):
near the end of the show regarthy Oh regarding the
potential rain, Yeah, I don't appreciate that because you know,
it hangs over our heads all night long.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, you got family in town and all that. I mean,
you know people, you got beach life. I'm not planning
on going over there, Crabbits, Are you gonna go my way?

Speaker 5 (01:55):
I want to know.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
I have to say, Matt, I resent it too. There's
a couple things, and I even I'm reticent to say
something right now, but it's a radio show and it's
hard job to talk. But I do find that people
take advantage. I mean, I am of a more high
strung nature as far as worrying about things, I think
maybe than a lot of people. And I think people

(02:21):
use the game is flying a like the game is
on and it's going so fast. You better get your
ass to wherever you need to be for the show
to start because the game is flying. I hate that
and people use that against us so much so to
where people will just text me a picture of an airplane. Now,
if the Dodgers have an early game to signify that

(02:43):
it's fun, yeah, and you know, just understand that symbol
to torment me. And even worse than the game is
flying Matt is East Coast day. So you're like, gosh,
we're getting on early. I'm gonna work from home there.
I'm glad there's not three hour show pressure on Rogan
and Rodney. I'm worried about Woiki's voice and Ned Coletti,

(03:07):
you know, all of those things you know that go
into your mind like we got, we got, we got
a two hour show. Our troubles are over, dude, We're
gonna go to the In and Out Burger after we
get the briefcase back. But then somebody throws a wrench
into the spokes of our sweet ten speed Matt as

(03:28):
you like to say, with the handlebars flipped up.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Damn right, black hands, Iron Maiden T shirt.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
And because of that, it makes it a real terrible situation.
And it happened yesterday tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Tim Kates friendly fire.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
You know what, there's talk of weather, you know, because
Tim Kates Tim is pissed because Dave is out there
lies like a TV star on Spectrum Sports Net. Yeah.
The sunglasses he wearss have stars instead of eyes and
shunt style, right, David Vasse having the time of his life,

(04:04):
and Kate's has got to carry the load on the radio,
which is no light load. Dodger Clubhouse, Dodgers on deck,
Dodgers talk, and David's trunk shout there. Yeah, high step.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
You can't get drunk now, you know.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah. And Vassay is high stepping around the perimeter of Atlanta.
And Kates is bitter, you know what I'm saying. So
I think that made me is somebody.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
You think his bitterness made its way into our hourly
check ofweather dot com. And then when I do that,
Kates and I see a red exclamation point with the
with the sentence there is a marginal risk of severe
weather today, I get heart papalitations. Okay, I get you.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, see what.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
That's not good for my health.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
I just I just get angry and let it bother me. Matt,
on the other hand, try to combat the problem with
fighting severe severe superior weather information. So Matt will be like, well,
that's not exactly true. I checked a couple of other sites. Right,
it says there's gonna be quite a bit of weather.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
You check a little, you check the latest weather.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Hey, shut up with your latest weather, all right.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, I'm just saying, here's a live looking at Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Well, let me take a look.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
I'm looking at it right now.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Okay, Hernandez, Hurricane.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Twaine's piping in the sound right now from Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Here's the sad thing, truest part. It pains me to
admit this, but you you both know it to be true.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Somehow, I believe that I have.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Some sort of power over the weather, that by checking
enough sites, I can get it to bend to my
whims and my demands, Like, oh, if I just get
to a couple more websites, I could probably get this
thing right and we can get off the air at three.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
I think that's one of the detriments of the information age,
you know, where you just think you can fight every
problem with superior information, right. And the truth is, when
it comes to lightning and thunder and rain, I mean
it goes Internet.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
It's like a weather machine.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
To me, it's like, oh I got this, we got
a cover. The League of extraordinary Jaild.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yes, I've got this.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
You know it goes to speak to it, Matt, when
you're out there, you know, looking at the phone on
the weather app and it says no chance of rain
and there's literally rain drops on your phone, right, you
know that should be proof. So like, irow it and
there's a lot. But today, Matt, I'm looking at Atlanta

(06:39):
the latest weather. I don't see anything.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
I've got the hour clouds.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
I see some clouds.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
We we do have thunderstorms, but it's at nine pm,
long after we are off the air, and long after
first pitch Mac.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Where that's where Ichabod crane is safe in the bed
us all the way up to our chin. By nine o'clock.

Speaker 6 (07:02):
I'm gonna read you guys an email I got that
was sent from up above who just a heads up
possibility of rain this week in Atlanta, as usual.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Will update as it happens.

Speaker 6 (07:16):
Weekend's week weekdays again the start of the weekend. No,
it's not tomorrow scattered thunderstorms, thunderstorms.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
You're screwed. Your Saturday is toast cake.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
I bet there's no delay tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
No, my own one Apple Weather says that tomorrow's gonna
be pouring.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Well, then you get a nice double header on Sunday,
which would be great for you.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah, what if they just bang the game on Saturday
and let Cake blots right, He'll be till parts away.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
He just holds up the two d's day drunk.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Here we go the Urban Press.

Speaker 6 (07:57):
Oh yeah, it's a day drunk day. Boys, give you
a perbay crawl for kids all the world.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Now, speaking of water, which we all need to live,
even my lizard. It's a Frogman Friday a beach. It's
not only a sweep of sand, but shells of.

Speaker 7 (08:19):
Sea trug masers, This dog man, glass trug man, the
weed shrugmen, the incongruous objects washing man might the ocean.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Just like the oceans detried us. The Petrosen Money Show
washes up on the shore on a frog Man Friday,
and we'll be off before we're even supposed to be on.
That likes to collar the super f There our t
shirts with his face that say super flex of right
are available. Usually it's like a guy selling them on

(08:55):
the corner, you.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Know, ah right, just straight boot leg style.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Like Calvin her praying. We also appreciate the great Mike
Nelson played by Lloyd Bridges in Seahawk.

Speaker 8 (09:06):
Sharks are good for one thing, an argument. Some people say,
if they won't attack you unless you attack them or
interrupt them at feeding time, how they say a sharko
charge the minute he sees you that you're what he
wants to feed on.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
I'm somewhere in the middle.

Speaker 8 (09:21):
I'm a scuba diver, Mike Nelson, and I've run into
my share of sharks. They haven't attacked me yet, but
there's always the first time, and today out here in
the warm Pacific might be it. I was looking for sharks.
One shark anyway from marine land of the Pacific.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Land shout out and out in the warm Pacific Pacific islander.
Weekend todd lights and A thirteen. What are you nuts?
We still got to take that? Lord man, you know
what that's like these days.

Speaker 9 (09:54):
You got the Navy everywhere, you got frog men, you
got the e C two's with the satellite track I
can you got the spell two nine of salt choppers
up the ass.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
We're losing one out of every nine loads.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
That's no duck walk anymore. Let me tell you, forget
about money.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
What do you suggest that's reasonable?

Speaker 10 (10:15):
Beer room I need a.

Speaker 7 (10:30):
Frock Man.

Speaker 5 (10:35):
Brock Man Frock may.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Do your dog dogar.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Oh yeah, and you know what you're gonna hear tonight,
Matt in the rain, not the rain sound from Cat's
but then like it, whoa, and then you sucking all

(11:23):
the air. Very exciting Dodgers versus Braves. We got Clippers tomorrow, Matt.
The Clippers one, as Don McClain predicted on our show yesterday,

(11:44):
the Clippers briefers, Yep, that's what he said. I think
they'll come together. They breezed by the house Nuggets last night, Matt.
And there's gonna be a Game seven tomorrow on AM
eleven fifty.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
That's what we wanted, at least have one of our
outlets for postseason performance perform for us the casual fan.
At least one of them decided to show up this postseason.
It just so happens to be the team that we
support here on AM five seventy at times more often
actually than we have them on five seventy this time

(12:20):
of year over on AM eleven fifty. I'm sure the
Progressive is the new mainstream folks. Very excited about a
Game seven, the only one of the first round that
will be broadcast on those airwaves, the AM band, which
stretches from somewhere around Fourth and Broadway to like Olympic
and Librea.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Oh it's porch.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
It just it really fires long.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
In that zone.

Speaker 5 (12:46):
Mat.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
I mean, it's like it's like Adam Auslin is breathing
right on the back of your neck with all the
hairs and the goosebumps just pumping up on there. Now, Matt,
I would like to go back to the weather complaint
that you made, because I have a tendency to agree
with the point you make, and I'd like to even
take it a step further. There is going to be
some weather this weekend in Atlanta. You go home to

(13:08):
a couple shooters, you come back, you're a different lady.
But if there is a rain delay, which seems to
be inevitable tomorrow, I'm not going to torment Vassat or
Kate's with text and be like, hey heard there's a
little weather out there. Huh how's that? Oh it looks
like you got a little heavy lifting there, brother. Oh.

(13:30):
In fact, I would never do that. We never do that.
In fact, it's quite the opposite. I am usually somebody
saying like, hey man, do you need my help? I
can come on and how many times do you think
I've actually been taken up on that? I'd go zero, never, never,

(13:55):
and Kate Seart your feelings, you know it to be true.
I'd ever even been. I try to help when it
rains and nobody wants my help. Nobody wants me on
there to talk about Tommy Edmund or the Dodgers or
anything like that. And it's not it's not the same.
It's a it is a double standard.

Speaker 6 (14:17):
Well, you can't come on the pregame show, you can't
come on the clubhouse show. You're not part of the
regular broadcast. I can put you on a Dodger talk
or a rain del feling.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
Yeah, that's what we're talking about.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
I'll come in and be like, hey, I see it's
raining out there, A SA sa right, right.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Well, I don't think that's what you'd do. I think
you would come on and say, hey, man, you ever
seen the scene from Sharky's Machine.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Oh, well, let's going, especially if we're in Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's what I mean.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
If we're in Florida, I'll just start doing scarface stuff.
But what I'm saying is it's not the same Matt.
We you and I are sympathetic.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
And we respecting, challenge.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Empathetic, even when there's a weather delay and I try
to help and I'm always turned down the time turned down,
Like when Hartman tries to have lunch with our boss.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
I've offered it up three times. I don't think he's
that busy. What's going on? But you got go and
be long. What do we got going? Meets you over Patty's.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
You know what, though, I do think it's a terrible
double standard, and I'm glad you addressed it. Tim. You're
gonna have to live with that for a while here,
because that's not It can't be easy to know that
you've been that unfair and have it just laid out
like that, like a patient ethorized on a table right
in front of you. How does it feel?

Speaker 4 (15:42):
It feels pretty good. I appreciate that.

Speaker 6 (15:43):
But my words to you guys, just don't drift too
far away from the comrades.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oh I'm gonna drift like freaking Tokyo drift. That's how
far I'm gonna drift.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Hey, have your phones off.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
It's drifted so far.

Speaker 6 (15:55):
I want to see notifications silenced. When I said it
said text to you, guys.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Bed drifted so far away he went in the water
and he just the current took him all the way
just north.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Oh sorry, Kates, I just saw this this morning. I
woke up. I didn't see it yesterday.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
That's right. It's your fault. Had you not set the tone,
we would have never looked. We would have come on
and done our pregame conversation prep zone and you would
have said, hey, guys, just to heads up, there is
some rain in the in the area, so let's just
kind of keep it. And that would have been fine,
would have been totally fine. Don't want to get surprised

(16:35):
with it at two fifty five when we're about to
stand off and you say, all the target, you.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Did it the way you did it.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
It was intentional. Yeah, it was intentional to create a reaction.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
It's like, hey, you know, I was over at the
cheesecake factory. I saw your acts man. She was gazing
to the eyes as something real small dude, and they
were like really, you know, like it's like a mocking tone.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
I don't know what location you guys are putting in
all your weather apps, but it's not technically Atlanta. It's
the suburbs of Atlanta, which have a different weather pattern.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Suburbs that right?

Speaker 4 (17:07):
Is that what I'm supposed to google the suburbs of Atlanta.

Speaker 6 (17:10):
I think it's north northwest Atlanta.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
North northwest, is that right?

Speaker 6 (17:16):
So look that area up. It's a little different than
downtown Atlanta war points. So while downtown Atlanta says partly cloudy,
the suburbs do say greater chance of rain.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah, you could take your McMansion in the suburbs and
shove it. I hope your a C bill is atrocious.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
I've tried to find out where the stadium is.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Truest Park, Home of the Braves, located in the Battery Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Battery Atlanta.

Speaker 6 (17:52):
Yeah, northwest Atlanta, up by Murrietta, even farther out than Buckhead,
which is outside of Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yeah, it's not that far, Kates. We're in Atlanta, Buckheads
like a ten minute freaking tam It's not in Macon. Yeah,
it's not like going from downtown LA to Silmar.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
You know, it's just this you know what, Matt, It's
this kind of fear monger. Right. It ruined the decade
that fear mongering ruined the deck. Congratulations Kates, and you know, Matt,
another prediction around here came true. Lebron James can't keep
it quiet. He can't even keep it quiet for five hours.

(18:37):
Lebron James has lost his mind.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Probably would have been out three to four weeks. Yeah,
it was shared earlier today that he had a grade
to mcl sprain. When his knee knocked with Dante Diviacenzo
di Vicenzo, who was called for the foul Lebrown, Lebron
laid on the ground writhing in pain as though he

(19:04):
had been hit by a bus.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
But no one goes to help him anymore. No, they
just let him know what to do. They just let
him go through the motion.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
It's like, I don't know if I'm supposed to go over,
if he wants to play this thing out. He's six
foot eight, two hundred and sixty pounds, and he has
fallen like he is five foot eight, one hundred and
twenty pounds, launched into the air by not a spindly
but not the most swollen white guys and a ginger

(19:34):
no less.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
And Lebron also got his got his mouth running about Luca,
weighing on Luca's future, that ain't my job. Luca knows
how I feel about him.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Oh yeah, he does, and ultimately go to convince him.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
That trade happened for the future, that's not for me.
We'll see how it all outs.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
There's nothing he would like more than to nuke this
franchise on his way out the door.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
No Lebron.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
And you know what it is, He's.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Done so much for the city, and all we've done
is shown a lack of gratitude. You know, we've been
terrible subjects to his royal throne. We're gonna talk about
it more, I believe, with the top story of the
day in the very next segment. Our show's going only
till three o'clock, The Petrosen Money Show on AMPI seventy

(20:37):
LA Sports. Your home of the Dodgers Dodgers Braves somewhere
north northwest of Atlanta, really just way out of there.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Just type in suburbs, type in you Jerk Kates.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Sherman's March didn't even touch this place so far.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
It's closer to Tennessee than Georgia.

Speaker 6 (20:57):
I think.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, way up there, way up there.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
We'll return your geographical show of record. Thanks for being
with us, everybody. The Peterson Money Show on m five
seventy LA Sports on a Frogman Friday, Dodgers Atlanta, clear

(21:20):
Skies closer to Tennessee than Georgia. Really is the greatest
statement perhaps I've ever heard.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Like Marietta, guys, yeah he has.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
You can rain.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
We're also no rain in Marriette. I'm sorry to you.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Sorry, well, podcast the show because we're on early today
and we're on early all next week really except for
a late show in there once. It's all on the
iHeartRadio Act for your smartphone. Thanks for being a part
of great sports talkingstime. For the top story of the day,
Sorry of it.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
I would like to to start with a little bit
more negativity surrounding the Lakers five game exit from the postseason.
Not surprising even though it's typically reserved for the show
after this time slot. Yet we are currently occupying this
time slot. I hope, as a renter of this particular
time zone, it'll be okay. Just because do I look,

(22:22):
am I condoning the language that was used, some of
the expletives that were launched with young children walking around
disappointed their hearts broken that the Lakers were exited from
the playoffs. No, no, I can't condone that some of
the terms that were thrown around. I can't, but I
can certainly understand the sentiment from Anthony Edwards as some

(22:45):
are calling him classless and pointing out the bastard kids
he has scattered around the country.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Even James Worthy talked about his responsibilities as a father.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
As a father got to take that responsibility. But I
think if we are able to extract those things, it
is easy to understand why a competitor, someone who competes
at the level that Anthony Edwards competes, someone who has
the competitive drive, the competitive fire, the willingness to do

(23:16):
whatever is asked of him if he's zero for eleven
from beyond the three point line, to dish out a
ton of assists and play lockdown defense, if that's what
it is that guide his team to victory, we can
appreciate that. And after hearing Lakers in five from nearly
every pundit and then having the complete clowns suggest the

(23:37):
Lakers were going to pull this thing out in seven
after they were humiliated by running out of gas in
Game four, got blown off their court in Game one,
and certainly showed nothing to suggest that they were capable
of winning three games in a row. I can understand
why he opted to take the path he took to

(23:57):
the Ritz Carlton across the street from the Crypto or
the crypt or whatever the hell you want to call it. Well,
I mean all that I can understand.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
Put yourself in their position, you know, like you're saying, Matt,
I mean, they live in a snowed in, terrible place
filled with lakes and an open air stadium for baseball.

Speaker 5 (24:16):
My god, and.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
It's it's crazy. The Lakers have been out of the
playoffs for what two days now, and they're there's still
the headline Lebron's knee, whatever, JJ Reddick said, whatever Lebron
said about Luca whatever, I mean, it's all Lakers, whatever

(24:41):
Nick Wright said, whatever steven A said. It's so stupid.
But there's still I mean, there's actual games happening. The
NBA is still in the midst of the playoffs, and
they're still trying to get blood out of the lakerstone
on all the outlets. If I was Minnesota, I'd be
wagging my pootsa around two exactly.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
So it's understandable. You don't get to have everything, especially
when your team stinks and stunk on the grandest of
stages again, third shortest odds to win the NBA Championship
when this thing started, not the Minnesota Timberwolves that were
in the Western Conference Finals last year, that were dealing
with injuries, got healthy and were the hottest team headed

(25:24):
into the postseason and finished one game worse than the Lakers,
given no shot Lakers in five, only to come out
blow them out in Game one and people say Lakers
just weren't ready, They'll be fine, and then to go
up three to one and have the same conversation again,
woll yeah, backs against the way, not of Knight, Lebron
and look out of this thing. So yes, I understand

(25:44):
why there is some some puzzo wagon going on. And
while you may not like it, Laker myopic Laker fans,
you're gonna have to wear it because just the reality
is between your confidence and the confidence that was the
bomb bast and the method by which that confidence was

(26:05):
delivered on the national talk outlets, the embraced debate shows.
It's just the way it is. They're going to take
their victory lap, they are going to do their parade,
and unfortunately you're going to have to watch and wear it.
So you mentioned it. Two p the fact that Mcminhimon
waited a day and a half to post his opus,

(26:27):
his twenty twenty four to twenty five opus that made
the front page of ESPN dot com, many sources, many quotes,
looking at the future, looking at the past, detailing the
failures of first year head coach JJ Reddick. I would
imagine it is the most clicked on story at the
Evil four Letters dot com today unless and I will

(26:50):
say I did not click on. And I like Dan Wetzel,
He's a fine sports journalist, but I am not interested
in the let's all settle down about Belichick's girlfriend head.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
I don't Yeah, that's a good one, Matt.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
I'm not going to delve into that.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Don't worry.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
I did I doubt Okay, Oh good, I'm glad you did.
I just let that one sit there. Uh to the
centerpiece of the top line.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Call me Dela Vedova. That's how hard I delved.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Oh yeah, raw, tell them that, punky, mate. Here's my question.
I I talked about the flipping with the Kings and
the Clippers prior to to Game five. Was wildly disappointed
with one half of that flip, actually both parts of

(27:36):
that flip, because the Clippers were able to bounce back
last night. But last night I did not flip. I
peaked at the King's game. I was excited at the start.
I kind of I figured, you know it, I'll wait
till the end of the Clippers game to get into it.
Don't need to watch the back and forth there. It's
a game of runs, not that big of a deal.
I'll start with the Kings and Theether.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
You knew what to do. I knew what to do.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Incredibly excited with my new streaming service to watch the
first five minutes of that game, back and forth affair
two goals apiece, only to see the Edmonton Oilers jump
on top three to two. And from there I was like, Nah,
this is gonna this does not end well. Not interested.
I'm gonna tune into the Clippers, and boy am I
happy I did pee because here's the question I have

(28:18):
in a city of postseason disappointment. King's up to nothing,
whole ie advantage, blow Game four with twenty eight seconds
left on the clock in a one goal lead, only
to lose in overtime. That incredible disappointment of falling to
the Oilers, a Canadian team, no less for the fourth
consecutive season. Now, it is not a it is not

(28:41):
a massive population of sporting fans in town, but it
is very dedicated and smart fan base. Certainly, they're upset.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
And they're very late, very opinionated.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Very opinionated, some saying that the fact that the Petros
Money Show was talking puck may have been why they
ended up losing. Didn't get any of the credit when
they went up to nothing. But apparently we.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
Really, we truly do. I mean, and I'm not saying
this to be snarky, we do get nothing out of
it by talking punk, nothing right, And they don't even
work at the station anymore, so we don't even get that.
We can't even be like, hey, look we talked about you.
Yeah we got nothing.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
We're discouraged from speaking about them. But then, but that's
not just because they're not here, it's because they just
don't want us to talk anyway. Is I tuned over
to the Clippers? I thought, will will the casual fan,
will they get behind this? Will they get behind a
Clipper team? And I and you may see where I'm

(29:40):
going with this, bee Maybe I'm speaking to our collective
audience right now driving around town in Friday afternoon traffic.
Maybe I'm the civic failure that is the five or
the disaster that is the four l fever, whatever it
may be. At one thirty seven pm time check in
the afternoon time kind of speak it. I'm kind of
speaking to you a little bit here.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
You're talking.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
I think so a little bit, because I do think
that you embody what many of the casual Los Angeles
sport fan embodies, and that is trepidation, an idiot, skepticism
as it pertains to the Clippers, trepidation, skepticism, disinterest, apathy.

(30:22):
They all qualify, but in lieu of a whole or
a vacuum thanks to the incredible failures by the Lakers.
As the third shortest odds do win the NBA title,
and the King's up to nothing and a prohibitive favorite
to get out of that first round and face the
Vegas Golden Knights. They're burgeoning number one rival. Considering the

(30:45):
absolute failure of the Ducks over the last decade. Will
they lean into the NBA's only Game seven of the
first round of the playoffs, LA, I think just the
the dedicated Laker fans. Yeah, I think if you're if
you tune in in the postseason, you know, like if

(31:06):
you're if you're a little poor A.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Let's be honest, Matt, it's not just people like you
and I who's living depends on it, that pay very
close attention to the local sports calendar, right And I
think that's what you're speaking to here. Yes, I mean
you watch the games, you enjoy the games, you have
an opinion, You see the Lakers lose, you laugh at
the Lakers, you enjoy their off season trauma. But at

(31:32):
the same time, when it's all over, you say, oh wow, Okay, Well,
it's F one racing sprint quality right now on ESPN News.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
By the way, it's going to make it out there.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
It's F one Racing and MLB straight on till the
Hall of Fame game, which you will be in person
there for in can't Ohio and Tim Kates has been
invited by Eric Allen, great Sonny. But you know what
I'm saying, So you stare in the abyss of if
there's no local teams, maybe I'm not interested in this

(32:06):
and the Clippers continuing to play, although it may not
be something that gets the city I don't know inflamed
like the Dodgers or something like that. It's still something
rather other than the general abyss of the summertime. And

(32:26):
when it comes early in the first round for everybody,
that's a pretty long stretch to can't Ohio, brother?

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Is it? Is it enough? I guess is what I'm asking.
Is it enough? It's something, right, It's definitely something. It
is something that will be on the TV tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Because if there's no games being played, every story is
basically a manufactured story. The story is about a rumor
of this that might happen. The story is about something
somebody said, Yeah, stories about ice, spice and sauce gardener
taking a picture in front of the mirror. That's you know,
that's a long stretch. So I I think the Clippers

(33:10):
can win it, right, I really hope they.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Do, and especially if they advanced to the second round. Wait,
like you said, win it and then dispatch of the
hottest team that set records this past season over the
regular season. Just a little too little, too young, little
too experience, inexperienced, little too green perhaps and advance can
you imagine like this is where my mind went yesterday,

(33:33):
and far too premature because chances well, you did say
you know everybody.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Yeah, you said everybody was going into the NBA Finals,
and you said the Lakers, Clippers. You said the Kings
were going to finally get past the Oilers.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Well they were up to nothing. Yeah, And not only
did I say, not only did I say they were
going to be pass p but I said you can
get past the Oilers and look out. Yeah like this path.
I like this path with the abs. Yeah, you were
circling dates on the calendar that that now don't exist.

(34:06):
It really set up well for us here in Los Angeles,
and now it's all gone to s And this is
what I'm staring at. A Clipper team at four thirty
pm on Saturday, Must watch Game seven. Now, maybe you
want to get out to that beach life, you know,
see a little Sublime, see a little pretender's action.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Everybody gets their nineties hard ass on when Sublime comes
up there. A lot of these guys take their Rolex
off and they forget about their Audi in the in
the parking lot, and they pop a cap in Sancho
and then they slipper down.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Slapper down because they really want to know. So will
in fact, at four thirty pm Post Kentucky Derby. More
on that coming by the way in the next hour
Post Kentucky Derby. Will you in fact be glued to
a television or the radio, Adam Auslin and Carlo and
I am eleven fifty if in fact that signal reaches
your particular spot, if you live in the greater Downtown area,

(35:05):
maybe west side, east of we'll call it where should
we call it, Losienaga?

Speaker 3 (35:14):
Maybe east of the sun West.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
Oh, you know, we'll go.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
We'll go east of Robertson. If you live on the
west side, east of Robertson, you get that signal, you
listen to a little Adam Oslin and Carlow.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
That's good. Yeah, you were inside that zone in the
Jewish area.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Oh, Fairfax District, baby coming through, real strong, real strong,
Progressive was a new mainstream. Then at least they got something.
At least it was a spirited affair. Last night, it
was a fun game to watch our man Zoub's with
the two big blocks on Jokic in the the final
moments of the fourth quarter as the Nuggets were making
a push, James Harden played arguably I think I saw

(35:53):
this stat and I read it right. I believe it
was his first victory in an elimination since twenty twenty,
first victory in an elimination game since twenty twenty, and
he played forty seven to forty eight minutes, perhaps recognizing
his Game five failure was far too on schedule and

(36:15):
he had hoped to change the narrative since he does
not win elimination games for the last half decade. That
was exciting. Kawhi Leonard hitting clutch shot after clutch shot
was exciting. P our friend Norman Powell from UCLA with
the emphatic dunk to set the tone at the start
of the second half time loud.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
That wasn't shot at Harden though, I feel like it.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Was a little bit. It was backheaded for certain I mean,
he did what he no, you.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Know, yeah, and you predicted it perfectly, and yet you're
still sitting there kicking the guy's beard off.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
A little bit. He shouldn't. He shouldn't have treated Vic
like that point being may the Clippers deliver us. I
believe the theme of that what was the mcminimon thing in
his The Lakers slogan for the postseason was like bring
joy or embrace joy or something like that. With Lebron

(37:10):
on the team. It's very hard to imagine there being
any joy on a squad, recognizing that the failures will
likely be pointed at you and the successes will be
pointed at Lebron. Something like embrace joy or whatever. May
the Clippers be the team taking up space that makes

(37:30):
space and is not just taking up space? May they
be that squad? Because I was, I was, I was inspired.
I was inspired last night, like Katy Perry singing What
a Wonderful World, despite the fact that I requested roar
and California girls.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Well, good luck to the Clippers that'll be on eleven fifty.
Find yourself on the west side. It's a hell of
a listen. We'll have some react into some of the
things in the very next segment. I never thought Matt
Mundy Smith's playoff dreams and top story dissertations so early

(38:10):
in the spring would turn to hope for the Clippers,
right and lamentations for the Kings unleashed joy, the slogan
unleashed Joy. Other than you look at most of Lebron's
history with the Lakers, it's pretty dismal. It's terrible, you know,

(38:31):
Darvin ham gets a lot of heat, but he took
it to the Western Conference Finals. I mean, right, gentlemen, sweep.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
They've won a playoff series in two of his eight
years here. They've won a playoff series. Think about that,
just a single playoff series.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Were on when we're not usually on. Not easy for
us to employ a disinterested tone.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
We're trying seven years, corrections and retractions. I'm so sorry, everybody.
They have only won a playoff series in two of
his seven seasons here.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Everybody's pretty spoiled. You know, it wasn't like a few
months ago. We had like a parade and there were
millions in the streets and Dave Roberts was rubbing himself
on Ice Cube's leg. That was awesome. And now everybody's
sitting here acting all spoiled. We'll read some texts next,
get some listener interaction, pull back the curtain on great

(39:44):
sports Talk early in the day on a frog Man Friday,

Speaker 4 (40:41):
Line brought to you by your so cal Toyota dealers.
We make it easy.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
Here on this way. Flexed back frog Man Friday, the
Petros and Money Show getting you through till the Dodgers
are in Atlanta. No threat of a rain delay tonight,
Virtually no threat this Ziro, despite what some some pearl

(41:07):
clutching broadcasters may have said. All right, Petros, I'm American
and my wife is Asian. I fathered an Asian American
child with her. Is this month for me? Of course?
He's talking about Asian American Pacific Islander Month. And you

(41:30):
know it's for your wife, it is for your child.
And I mean, I could tell what a great husband
and father you are. So we're gonna we're gonna let
this one slide this time this month is.

Speaker 10 (41:44):
For use Vision American Pacific Carlander Asian American Pacific Carlander.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Enjoy it. Closer to closer to tennis See than Georgia
is so dumb. It's actually given me a headache. Kate's
was trying to say that the Atlanta weather report doesn't
matter because Truest Park is in Cobb County, and that's

(42:16):
a whole. It's closer. It's really more Tennessee than Georgia,
just like Reno is really more Nevada than California, because
it is because it is in Georgia, even Cobb. That's true.

(42:39):
That's it. It's over for the Clippers. Matt has been
the real kiss of death lately. Big money on the
Denver Nuggets tomorrow, fair Water Ape. I'm glad to have
Matt on the Clippers wagon. You can also hear the
games on the iHeart not just am eleven fifty on

(43:02):
the West Side. Okay, that's true, Matt.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
That's a good update right there.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
Well, it's true. It's something that you know, we should
also know and be able to convey with confidence as
opposed to like trying to like grid out the streets
in West La that the Clippers are actually available on
AM eleven fifty.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
And if I may just a little backstory, it's it's
a bit of an inside joke because when AM eleven
fifty shifted to become Progressive is the new mainstream, and
we were like, oh wow, that's interesting. What's not all about. Well,
the signal. It's not the best signal, guys, it is.
It is just centralized on the west side, a little

(43:44):
bit of downtown y, you know, And that's what that is.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
It's a very tip.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
It's a very targeted signal. We're like, okay, so it's
like a college radio station kind of. No, no, no, it's
better than that. I'm just saying. It's like it's a
very select area there. It's like West Side and some downtown.
It's just one of those I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
Fat Shack, Fat Luca, old Le Brown. That is the
team of the retread I know that Shaq was coming back,
although he does defend them sometimes. It's crazy the Lakers
are still named after said snowy Wasteland that you just
described terrible Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Yeah, you're right, you're right.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
I'm just saying, not exactly a sports mecca of a market.
I know they have the skull and all that, they
just don't steal a lot of headlines. What are the headlines?

Speaker 2 (44:41):
Yeah, Twins, Vikings Stars, No Wild used to be the
north Stars, the Wild and the Timberwolves used to be
the Lakers. And hey we got lakes Okay, yeah we
got lakes Lake Mead.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Hey, p let's say I'm a jive talking hound who
knows kung fu and also is a number one super guy.
Am I an Asian American Pacific Islander? Now I know
for a fact that this guy's a black man.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Yes, one of the great voiceovers in the history of animation.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
And even the guy who is texting I'm gonna say no,
we can't give it to everybody. Then the month is
not you know, special.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Right, especially if you're going to run from at the
moment the month is over, which isn't cool?

Speaker 3 (45:37):
Happy aa P I month, everybody. The Petrosen Money Show
continues with more great sports talk content all the way
until three o'clock. I know that's not that long.
