later in the show, and I was going to do
a big lead up.

proper bad at the end of my my college football
whip Around.

You didn't send me the format for the show earlier,
so how much Well.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I mean, I never do anything in the intro. I
never tell any I'm gonna do with the whip Around.
I never tell anybody what I'm gonna do in the
intro because I want everybody to have a Well, there's
a real reaction. I was going to pick the Dodgers
in five.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well, you certainly had a real reaction to what I said.
Made me look like a fool.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Don You have thrown him in a complete tissy?
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I am what's usually my goal when I spend I
am reeling, how could you I was going to make
the Dodgers in five?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Well, God, great minds think alike. Well, I can say
here on the station.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Speaking of great minds, one of the great thinkers of
the twenty first century, David Vasse. He's going to join

We're running all the games today on the station. Tomorrow
Dodgers start at five Morongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck starts
at four. That means that backs the Petros and Money
(03:32):
show up to two o'clock.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
And what time does everyone's tailgates start tomorrow before the
baseball game three three thirty six am with scam. Yes, six,
this has been.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
We might even have to do the long schedule talk
because there is a lot of scheduling.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
In no time, there's a lever. Anytime I don't have
time to study, I'm never gonna stand schedule talk again.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
This hour, we're gonna talk to Don about basketball and gambling.
Then we're gonna have Matt money Smith, who got his
nickname from gambling. He might be next.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Had to have him on the show today, then to
be arrested David Vasse.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
In our second hour, we'll have an F one report,
as I said, a college whip. And now it's totally
been castrated because Don McClain stole my Dodgers in five pick.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Well, what are you doing doing Dodgers on the college
football whipper Well?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
It was like that the prop to bring it all
together because it's World Series week.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
That's why Scam's on the air. Hey did I mention
I like the Dodgers in five?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Love it down, I love it.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Scam blew up, by the way, screw you Keates. Scam
blew up.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
This morning.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
They had Kurt Suzuki, the new Angels manager, phenomenal. They
had Derek Carr, Matt's arch enemy. They had so many
great guests. Uh seen Sean Green the Canadian while he
was the Toronto Blue Jays prior to Tustin High School.
Tustin High Toilers, same as de Shan Fosters out of
(05:16):
a job, probably going to take a consultant job to
get some of that money. But anyway, the point is this,
I think.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
It's time to go in for a raised him on scam.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Really, you think you should hold him over the barrel
in the last couple of weeks of the season, especially
if they win. You want this scam to continue, I'd
demand more money. This has been scheduled talks.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Don't forget we had Joe Davis on in the first
segment of the show too.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
My god, the Joe Davis bobblehead.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Yeah, Joe was on driving to lax to head back
to Toronto to call the game on Fox.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Nobody else is getting Joe Davis at six am in
the morning Pacific. By the way, Derek Carr phenomenal interview.
Go back and listen on the podcast. I'm worried about
your gonna have to tell your friend Matt. Most of
the interview was about the Dodgers, and he talked.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
About going home and telling your wife that you saw
her arch nemesis from high school at the Starbucks and
changed kind words.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
And she looks really good too. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Yeah, that's not gonna go over on the pilates and
yoga the ex over.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
There, that is not going to go over well for you,
brother at all. Matt's not going to like that at all.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
What do you think Matt's can do the interview with
you guys from a the press box, be the bathroom,
or see the field field?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
No, yeah, press box. You think he's going to be
on the field with a phone on his head? Douche
and house.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
He did it last time.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
No, he won't do that, will He did it last time?
My bad, My bad, I'm sorry. Let's bring in our
special guest host on the Southern California Toyoda Dealers celebrity
host guest host Microphone. The next ass he kisses will

bff on The Petterson Money Show on AMPHI seventy LA Sports,

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Hello, Don, good to be here, p as usual, Some
would argue, this is the best time of year in sports. Yeah,
you have FA Yeah, NFL, college football, NBA starting.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
When do you get a lot to talk about with
your basketball games?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
The first official night of college basketball is Monday, November three.
I'll be at poly Pavilion for Eastern Washington at EUCLA
Eastern Eastern. You know it's a coach no used to
be a long beach day Dan Munson.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Yeah, our friend Dan Munson who recently lost his father. Yes,
I believe. Yeah, Well, God bless coach Monson, an old friend.
Even though he called me Slobby P on the show,
I still have a lot of love for Dan Monse.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I haven't seen him in a while. Look forward to
seeing him.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yeah, that'll be cool. So we're looking forward to that,
and we'll talk to Mick cronin between then and now.
I'm sure, but the Dodgers are in Toronto. Have you
been monitoring media day, tim Have you been monitoring what's
going on out there at what is it called?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Have you no like?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
You know what I mean? Like, aren't they like doing
like a whole crazy media day over there?
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Tim It's not like Super Bowl media day, guys, but
it's next level below that. They got podium set up
throughout the Rogers Center and every player talks to the
media for a set amount of time. Showey Otani addressed
the media. I saw David Vassa was right front and
center when show. He was talking to the media with
Will the interpreter, and there was just mass people everywhere
trying to hear from show. Hey, but that's happening right now.
(09:08):
The Blue Jays are on the field as we speak,
going through their workout, and the Dodgers will follow shortly.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Tim out, how did Dave's box out look? Dave, did
I get low? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Michael Cage not very athletic, but I did see the
elbow albo TSN.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
He had TSN too, the right elbow a little bit.
That's a bad album. You get the elbows up. That's
a bad elbow, you know from his slide down the
Milwaukee Brewers slide that elbows I did see.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
One local reporter had the mic in there and also
had his cell phone on the other hand filming what
was happening, you know, for his own Instagram page.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So that come on, pal fact like you've been there before.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Guys, we'll be a fanboy David Vasse and all of
our coverage from the field to the work site is
brought to you by Strauss powering our world series coverage
on a M five seventy LA Sports Strauss. You see
it on the helmet and it's awesome work where house.
All right, we've intro Don McClain. We've said what we
(10:05):
have going on on the show. We are going to
talk to Matt money Smith. We will talk about the
scourge of gambling in our country as the show continues.
But what I'd like to do right now because Don
is here, and remember the.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Last time prediction for the series, Well we already did
Dodgers in five. But you know what we do, Don
Dodgers and five Donnie, Yeah. Thanks.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Now I know what it's like to be to have
a vasectomy twice. Take all the impotency, all the potency out.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Now. See if there's a bag of peas anywhere in
the building, done.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Sit on them for the resident. No, okay, what we
have done is we found for the Dodgers' opponents throughout
the playoffs and even kind of leading up to the playoffs.
Some have admonished me and said they don't like it.
I love doing it because the Dodgers are a big market.
Everybody knows everything about the Dodgers, but we don't know
(11:05):
anything about Milwaukee or you know, these different We don't.
So one of the ways we've learned about these opponents
is going into their history and finding, like what their
song is. A lot of the time, especially if these
teams started in the late seventies early eighties, they had
a marketing song, and these records became ended up being
gold sometimes platinum records because people would buy them locally.
(11:30):
The Brewers one is pretty unreal. Are you ready for it? Okay,
wait wait wait it's called stop it real quick.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Brewers Fever. You were here for Cincinnati.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Yeah, we're way past the bnl DS.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
You're part of the team in the stands. What's brew?
Come see what's going?
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Go?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
What the good times are? Come see what the brew?
It's a dude and a super stuff. What do you
think about that? You're talking about?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Like robbing you out nineteen eighty.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
You like this one? They got swat. I think I've
heard it before. Yell, it's cruising down Till Boulevard blaring
out of the speaker. Come see what's brewing? All right?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
But I think you really are gonna like the Toronto song.
I really do.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Wait when was that song recorded?
Speaker 4 (12:41):
That was eighty two, I think, And then the Toronto
song came out in eighty three eight, or maybe the
Brewers was like eighty and it got big in eighty
two when they made their their pennant run.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
But so Toronto's like three years later, and you might
be shocked to hear the Toronto song was written by
men who knew nothing about baseball. Very rudimentary. This is
still very popular.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
You've got a diamond, got nine men, got a hat
and a bat. And that's not all you got. The
bleachers got them from springtill fall. You got a dog,
got a drink, and the o bias call.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
What are your WANs? Let's play ball? Is that a
fly ball? See grubble versus coming in from the lake.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Just the cats the game, it's the last inning.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Dave stood down a smoker. I strike you and you
got no doubts. What are your wants? Let's play ball? Okay,
you don't look how to read last play It's still
do I'm still going. It's a beautiful evening.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
The ballpark on the game stars, what summer reasons?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Some's going down. It's all dark, but that's okay. It's
a night game. It's a night game, all right, all right,
I think that's an I'm going through my mental rolodex
of songs that I believe to be the worst songs
I've ever heard before I make this statement, but I
think I'm ready. That is the worst song I've ever
(14:35):
heard my lif don't be that way, ever, the lyrics
are stupid like that, that's the dumbest song I've ever heard.
And you're right rudimentary is like giving it credit. Yeah,
but don you do like the city of Toronto. I
do like the city.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I've only been to the airport, so I know very
little about it other than something that I will talk
about later with you during our Canadian news segment on
the Petches some money show. So we have a packed show,
jam packed gone, Yeah, we do, and we will talk
NBA basketball, maybe some gambling, maybe.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Maybe some gambling. It's the biggest story of the day.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
It is, and I was shocked to see it me too,
And I was unhappy, you know, because I have my
college hoops excuse me, my college football whipper around, I
got my F one report, I have my Blue Jay song.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Were you gonna do a prediction on the Dodgers World Series?
In that segment? Not anymore?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Actually, some six foot ten guy came in here, and
how does it feel to be as tall as all
those weird Halloween skeletons?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
And everybody buys, dude, they're taller. Now you're the only
ones that I of eye with those skeletons. Those things
are like twelve feet. Where do people put those? Where
do they put them in the offseason? I hate to
sound you know however this is going to sound, but
people in our neighborhood hire people to come put them up.
I've seen that. Yeah, let's play ball, huh. But my
(15:59):
dogs hate them. They freak out what they think they're
gonna eat him or something. They start barking out and
they want to like attack him. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Well, that has your height written all over it. We
will return with more great sports talk. We'll play more
ball with Don McClain as the show continues, So Dodgers
and five Don, Yes, I just want to clean. Look,
I just want to clean break and then we'll get back.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
You know.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
I played that Blue Jays song for Softy on Seattle
yesterday and they had like a conniption fit because they
lost to the Blue Jays. And then Kate's while I
was doing the interview, kept playing the final call of
the Springer, the George Springer Danner Yeah, in the ALCS
Game seven after he left the game, uh in game
five when he was hit on the knee by a pitch.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
As stringer digger to say, it didn't go over well
with Softy in them.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
You have got to be kidding me, Ben, That is
the best moment in sports I have ever seen.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
They got really but hurt.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
They took calls after I was done, and like people
were talking about spearing me with the tried end.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
That song actually did put me in kind of a
bad mood too. Well, I'm sorry, well look I'm I'm
I'm coming out of it quickly, but it is the
worst song I've ever heard.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I just got a text it says this, I support
Don if he walks out on you today for doing this.
This is audio terrorism. That's a little I think that's
a little strong.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
No, it's not. Did you consider walking out?
Speaker 4 (17:35):
No, because Softy tried to hang up on me, and
you know what I said, you got time to feel
soft You got the balls to do it. You got
the balls and he didn't do it. Did Hey Kates
didn't do it? No?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
I was like, you got the balls instead, Oh, stringer Dinger.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Don the producer then chimed into like, hey, Petrels, this
isn't cool, dude, this isn't cooler.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Yeah, shouldn't do this, really relaxed war child. Seriously, they
were really riled up.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I don't know Softy did it. At a certain point.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Have to explain to them the segment after, like, you know,
Petros doesn't care about sports, right, Like he doesn't he
doesn't care. I care about one thing, my Dodgers in
five prediction and Don already came in here and urinated
all over that. Yep, it's all soaked with Don's asparagus urine.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Thanks a lot, Stay with us. It's a crunchy group. Thursday.
We're gonna groove it all the way through.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
We'll talk about the big story, the costa Ustra going
up next.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Make AM five seventy or your favorite AM five seventy
LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio using Apple
Car Play or Android Auto road Trip all summer with
LA Sports.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Hey, everybody, it's a crunch groove on Thursday on the
Petrols of Money Show. Nobody knows about crunch of grooves
like us and Ronnie Fassio at Ronnie Fossio on X
where he posts the playlist coming off a very successful
wedding don for Ronnie's son got married.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Cor Ronnie, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Julian in Sydney Fossio. Indeed, congratulations to the beautiful young couple.
We love the young love here, Ronnie, did you cut
the rug?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I sure did, don Yo like dragged me off that
dance floor.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Ronnie is a very mysterious man in many ways, as
you know. And I was very honored that he showed
me some wedding photos and photos of the reception and
everybody looked real nice. It was beautiful down in Temecula,
awesome at the Faulkner Vineyards.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I believe Yes, the Faulkner Winery in Tamechila. Beautiful facility,
beautiful congratulations time. I always enjoyed when I get invited
to a wedding that has had a winery. Why well
because they have wine. Yeah, don you tell him?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Brother?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Now?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Uh, with that in mind, let us get Now, there's
there's one side of the spectrum. Ronnie Fossio in a
good mood. Son just got married. Everything went without a
hitch cloude nine, you know, and you know that's the
daughter's dad that's supposed to pay for you know, so
everything overall. I don't know what their arrangements were. Well,
he's feeling good. But the flip side of that coin
(20:34):
is you got arrested by the FBI this morning.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
You out This is a flip story.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
And by you, I mean Chauncey Billups, our friend, former
Clipper player, former Clipper co distant coach, the best friend broadcaster.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Remember he did it that for a year two.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
The BFF of Tylo Chauncey Billups, somebody we know well
here in southern California because of his association with the Slippers.
I don't know that rosier guy. Other than that this
is going to cost him his life and all the
money he's making, you know, hundreds of millions or whatever
it is, and be a modern NBA money and then
the coach for the Cavs and the whole Lebron thing.
(21:15):
Now there's a lot to unpack, I guess, is what
people say in this. But this was an FBI thing
that's been going on for years, So it's got nothing
to do with the current administration. This is rank and
file FBI people that have been doing their job tracking
this through the mafia for years now. As it relates
(21:36):
to the sports world, as I am not a federal
law expert, none of me either, but as it relates
to the sports world, I'll just say this, and I'm
sure Don's experience is more nuanced and more interesting because
of your ten years in the NBA, award winning NBA
career and being one of, if not the most known
(21:57):
college basketball players in the world when you were doing
your things at UCLA but no social media and no
camera phones right when we were younger in broadcasting, because
you and I kind of started broadcasting around the same
time in local radio and local television UCLA and USC respectively.
(22:18):
The one thing that one of my mentors, my mentor
really the guy that hired me to put me on TV.
Mark Huska drilled into my head and I always thought
it was a little over zealous until I kind of
saw the rest of the way people reacted was And
I'm not a gambling I didn't grow up gambling. I
didn't grow up interested in going to Las Vegas and
(22:40):
interested in playing cards anything like that. But it was
radio active to him. He said, if you're going to
call football games at a national level, here's what you
can't do. This, this, this, and this. We were very
afraid when I started doing local radio about the Indian
gaming and it was just something we started doing reluctantly
(23:01):
doing shows at Marongo back in the day, san Manuel
Shoemash with Huey Lewis, and the news like these were like,
we didn't even will now we do commercials for.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Marongo, some of the biggest sponsors in sports gambling sites.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
It was seen as the third rail, and it was
seen as that for a reason. So now that that
is obviously no longer the case. When they were breaking
this news on ESPN this morning, the FBI did all
this and they had their press conference. ESPN had an
ESPN bet chirn up on the screen and somebody deleted
(23:38):
it like mid segment while they were talking about it
on their morning show. It has become no longer taboo.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
No.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
In your time as an NBA player, I'm sure they
discouraged you guys from even going to Las Vegas, because
that's what they discouraged. It couldn't make you not go.
But at the NFL they try to discourage guys from
going to Vegas.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Well. I even remember back when I was working for
the PAC twelve network for years, we had meetings it said,
if you're gonna gamble while you're there for the PAC
twelve tournament, do not be wearing any PAC twelve Network shirts, hats, right, anything.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
And now you can have a guy that's calling games
and has all kinds of information like I do with
the coaches and stuff like that, sitting in a sportsbook
and doing a show and no one blinks an eye.
And that doesn't mean those guys are corrupt, it doesn't.
It just means that there's a whole lot of crossover
now with the gambling world. Las Vegas was a radioactive
(24:36):
town for sports for years. They had UNLV playing way
out at Sam Boyd, you couldn't bet on UNLV games. Now,
UNLV's an upcome, up and coming college football program. They're
playing an allegiance, which is good for them. It's like
the opposite of UCLA playing at the Rose Bowl. And
then you have the A's showing up. You have the
women's team, you have the Knights, the hockey team, you
(24:59):
got the my God, and now it's no longer taboo.
So if that's the case, you have to expect there's
going to be some seepagche and things like this are
going to happen more and more.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Well, just to finish your point about all that, is
that and think about this if you really and it
stopped me in my tracks what I read about it.
The NCAA just allowed college athletes to bet on professional sports.
So now, because if you're a college athlete for years
and year, you weren't allowed to bet. If you god betting,
you were, you would do seminars right, they're now allowed
(25:33):
to bet on professional sports. So you start there. Then
you start talking about how.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Well it's only a million dollar in iola. Got a
good idea. Yeah, let's get the young guys. Another addiction,
another a vice. I mean there's so many ways we
could take this conversation. But the second thing I would say,
it's so easy to bet now. And so you're sitting
in the locker room, you're on your phone and in
the off season or when you're not in season, you're
betting on that because you're betting on football or euro
(26:00):
League soccer or whatever you're betting on, and you have information,
and you're like, who's going to know? Well, what a
lot of people don't know is there are now companies
that track all this stuff. They track what bets are
being made, how much is being bet on them, and
they see when there's you know, things that don't line up,
(26:21):
like why is there way more money on such and
such as first half scoring total tonight? So they can
find all that stuff and so and again, like you said, Seminars,
I'm sure the NBA has has workshops about that so
easy now, it's so easy.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
But what I'm saying is that they have workshops that say, look,
you can't do it. You know their people are watching whatever,
But people still do it. And so I don't know
what the solution is because if you make it that easy,
and you're making it more legal by the day for
whatever athletes to do it. Then these companies really have
(26:58):
a hard job of tracking all of this stuff. That
being said, the thing that kind of blew my mind
this morning when I read all this was, did you
have a guy like Terry Rozier signed one hundred million
dollar contract? One hundred million dollars? What are you getting
out of giving people information on whether you're gonna play
or not? Like, what even if they gave you one
(27:20):
hundred grand what is that in the whole scheme of things?
To you? The one alarming thing, as it pertains to
Chauncey Billips is that who he was involved with the
Five family, the Five Families? Why you only hear about
that in the movies and watching kojac exactly. And so
I just wonder you think.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
You're watching a movie when you're watching the news this
morning and they're doing the press conference and Chauncey Billups
name is mentioned with the Gambino Prime family.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Yeah, And so that for him is alarming to me
because even if he goes down in this, which I
don't know if he will or he won't, he's involved
with over yet, That's what I'm saying. And so that
because I like Chauncey. You know, we're not great friends,
but I know him. He's always been a good dude,
and I feel bad for him. But you make decisions, Pete,
(28:08):
when you're a pro athlete or a college athlete. And
if you think no one's watching in this day and age,
you're crazy, because they are. And so I think most
people and people that are listening right now to the
show are saying what I just said. Chauncey Billots is
probably making four or five million dollars a year coaching
the Trailblazer pretty good. He made a hundred million playing
(28:28):
pretty good. What do you need this extra money for?
And why would you put yourself at risk? You thought
nobody was going to find this out, ever, And it's
one thing.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
If a guy's really into poker and he's up all
night playing poker, like our old friend Jack Hayley, God
rest his soul.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
But this is not that.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
No you knew this apparently, So we'll get to the
bottom of that, or I'm sure the FBI will at
a certain point. And it's not like I'm some monolith
of integrity. No one would ever say that, But I legitimately,
on purpose, have made myself stupid when it comes to gambling. Now,
sure we do the lines for the college football whip
(29:04):
around because people it's a fun thing to do, and
it's just you know, people aren pools with their friends
and things of that nature, but it doesn't mean anything.
And I know I never, but just forever bet on anything. Ever,
I've made myself completely and totally unaware of that world
because in my twenties I found myself deeply ingrained and
important college football games with all kinds of crazy information,
(29:27):
and I just couldn't. I couldn't risk my career. I
couldn't risk the life I was trying to build for myself.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Well, and that's like if you watch game Day, and
what does it help me? Because I gave a guy
a tip and he made money, what do I get
out of that? Right? Like Kirk Street, he doesn't make
a pick when he's doing the game now, d And
so you're right, Pee, And I've thought about that a
lot too. It's like, gambling's hard. Even if you have information,
doesn't mean you're gonna win. But there's been times when
(29:53):
I'm getting ready for a game, I'm like, oh, these
guys are gonna kill these guys. Yeah, and then you
look at the line and you're like, that's kind of weird.
But you don't actually do it, like.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Once or twice every couple of months where you have
something you're like that doesn't look right.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Do it? No, whatever, you don't put yourself at risk.
And I just can't believe this. Terry Rosier and.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
These are guys a lot more money than we'll ever see. Yeah, well,
I don't know about you.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Do you know the Damon Jones thing with Lebron and
given that injury, I mean, it's so if you think
about it, it is so tempting. He's probably a shoot around.
It was decided that Lebron's not playing, but the Lakers
hadn't announced it. You have friends that gamble, Hey, put
a big bet on it, and we'll talk about what
you're gonna give me later. But people are watching. That's
(30:36):
what I don't understand, Like, what do you think been
watching these guys for two years? Peraly, I don't. I
don't understand what they don't understand. I really don't.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Now what do you think this has got to be?
We talked about the Bamber stuff and what a pain
in the ass that is for Adam Silver that's a
pimple on his ass compared to this. Yeah, what what
do you think is gonna happen? I mean, obviously there's
there's real laws that have been broken here. So the
NBA doesn't I mean, what are they going to do
that the Feds aren't going to do to Chauncey or
or Rosier. But but this has got to be a
(31:07):
tough day for Adam Silver.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
It is. But here's what's interesting, And we don't know
what's going to come out of the Balmer and the
Kawhi thing, right, circumventing the salary cap because that's controlled
by the NBA. Right, this is the FBI. Like Adam
Silver can't call the FBI and be like, hey guys, yeah,
back off, Yeah, back off guys. You know. So those
(31:29):
are two totally separate incidents, but one is controlled by
the NBA and their investigation, the other by the US government.
So I don't know what the fallout is for the
NBA from the government. It's hard to imagine any of
these people involved with the NBA. Ever. Again, Oh, Chauncey,
Rosier and William they're done. Just like John T. Porter,
the guy that got busted from the raptors, like he'll
(31:50):
never be a part of the NBA again either, and
for what exactly ten grand? Fifty grand? Like what now?
Speaker 4 (31:57):
I remember what was the guy's name for Ara on
a state way back? Headache headick Smith Headdik Smith. That
was a big story, big, but it felt so isolated.
And when you see this story and you see the
logistics and who's involved, it feels a little bit like
this could just be the tip of the ice.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Perk more is going on. Well, but what I think
and this isn't look it's all bad for the NBA,
but a big part of it is the poker games,
which has nothing to do with the NBA other than
Chauncey Billups being involved in it.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
And used as kind of like shaving. Play poker with
Chauncey Billups and we'll take your money.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
The point shaving is the big deal. And remember Tim Donahey,
the NBA ref was point shaving. That's a big deal
for the NBA because now you're talking about the integrity
of the game, the integrity of the NBA, but the
poker game is something totally separate that Chauncey Billups just
had to happen to be involved.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
You think these guys are making so much good money,
Why would you risk the money? What are you getting
out of this when you're making so much good You know,
it's not like it's John Valjean stealing bread defeat a
starving kid.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Here, you and I make one thousands of what they
make on a game, and we're still not doing I
wouldn't risk exactly, it's crazy. Well, you know how bad
it would go if I I'd be shot, like immediately
shot and dropped in the harbor. We'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
Matt Smith is going to join us live from SOFI
Stadium where the Chargers are playing on AM six forty
to night taking on the Vikings. Carson Wentz. We'll be
quarterbacking for the Vikings. We'll talk more about this as
the show continues. We got a pack show and we
got the one on only. Donal mcclan here to get
us through.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Hello, PMS listener, did you know AM five seventy LA
Sports has a wide range of LA Sports podcasts. There's
Rogan and Rodde.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
That one is my favorite, Dodger Talk with David, the
Dodger podcast of record, Clipper Talk Without a Musk. Follow
us all and many more.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Just go to AM five to seventy LA Sports. On
the iHeartRadio app, Petro.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Said money on M five seventy LA Sports. We're having
a great time. Roddy Fosso in the house on a
crunchy groove Thursday. Happy he's back this week. Although Katie
did a great job, Don McClain with some interesting gambling perspective.
Somebody came in here. Tim Conway came in and said,
scale of one to ten. How much does the NBA
hate this story? Don McLean said. Don McLean does not
(34:35):
like being asked questions by strangers during the breaks.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I don't mind it. Well, I know at least I
know who he is and who the people are in
the room. Don's answer ten.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
But joining us right now is the host of this
show and the voice of the Bolts on your Southern
California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline Call in the Charger game tonight.
Of course it is Matt Smith. He'll be with Daniel
Jeremiah and shunning Chargers versus Vikings kickoff at five point
fifteen over on KFI. They'll start their pregame show right
after this interview. So thank you for doing it. Matt,
(35:11):
how's it going out there?
Speaker 3 (35:12):
It's so far.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
No, the FBI didn't come and get you this morning,
and that you're doing better than a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Matt. Who do you got to that on the game?
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Yeah, Mack, I just I just lost on the river.
I'm gonna give Chauncey a call. Figured out if that
game was if that game was rigged or not.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
I'm not as bad as poker as I thought. You know.
I I got taken.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I got taken by the mob and mister big shot
of the village. Yeah, you know what for the second
consecutive game. From what I can tell right now, you know,
they just started letting people in. But the field looks great.
It's the you know, the dominant era of Chargers football,
those early two thousands with Junior Seau and Rodney Harrison
and Rivers and Gates and Tomlinson and all those dudes.
(35:55):
It's the Navies with the Chargers, you know, script in
the end zone with that that beautiful old line running
through the lower third of the letters. So they do
a great job of making this place look different, even
though it's a shared stadium. So at least on that front,
the vibes. They're gonna you know what, it's good to
get this thing going quickly because of how bad that
game looked on Sunday, just the way the defense played
(36:15):
the first half of the offense, not being able to
dig out of that hole that they kind of got
themselves in. So just you know, flush that thing and
hopefully get a win here and get that mini by Joe.
Walt's going to play today, so that's a huge win
for them. Trey Pipkin's going to play today, so that's
a huge win for them. Both their tackles coming back
instead of playing their sixth and seventh string tackles in
this one.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Hold on, let me get on the phone with Fan Duel.
That is great information those tackles back.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
That is you. Where are you right now, Matt?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
I am in our booth. Yeah, I'm in the booth,
not down on the field. As soon as I finish,
I'll probably we got a little scene set we got
to do, and then I'll head down on the field,
do a lap, say ah to some folks, and get
ready for this one. You know, well, I want to
see if the dogs down there. You know how much
I love the dog pe so I want to want
(37:04):
to see if if Herb Street brought his dog and
let it run around at liking both in the fifty
yard line.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
I don't think the dog gets the NFL run. Yes
he does. He gets every Runna, I don't think so, Matt, Matt,
was there any talk this week? I'm sure every team's different,
it is in the NBA and how they manage their schedule,
but any talk about being a short week and playing
on Thursday, playing at home. Last Sunday the Vikings played
at home, but they have to travel to LA Is
there any talk about that for tonight?
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Huge advantage for the Chargers, no question, you know, and
they played a very physical Philadelphia Eagles team, right, So
you're on a short week, you lose a day because
you have to travel, you end up playing one of
the more physical teams. So yeah, this is something. And
look in years past, we've been on the Chargers around
the other side of that, where we're going to Kansas
City on a Thursday night after playing you know, a
physical Broncos team or something along those lines. So yeah,
(37:55):
I think it lines up. And look, that's just the
reality of Thursday night football, right is Like last year,
look at last year done speaking of the Broncos, right,
the Broncos and that really, you know, really got hosed
on that one. It's a flex into Thursday night. You
were supposed to play Chargers Broncos on Sunday. Now they're told, oh, yeah,
you completely lost your week's schedule because you're coming out
(38:15):
on a Thursday, you know, on a two week notice.
So yeah, it's definitely advantage home team. I think it's
kind of a it's kind of two sides of the coin, right.
One side, Yeah, it sucks to play on the short week,
but you get a mini by ten days off to
get some guys healthy in this Charger team that really
needs that.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Did you know the Thursday night football fun fact? Matt?
Speaker 4 (38:36):
Did you did you know that the vikings in effect,
the vikings are oh and seven in Thursday night games.
Carson Wentz is oh and seven in Thursday night games,
and the vikings are also oh and seven in Thursday
night game. I mean, this would be a real boon.
This might be something you might want to call Chauncey
(38:57):
Billups Italian friends.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
You just did Matt's open for him? Is that the
open there game game?
Speaker 2 (39:05):
I'm gonna I'm gonna use that. I had the I
have the record between these.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
No, I got it wrong. Now you wait see corrections
and retraction.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Right, here's the deal. I got it wrong the Vikings.
The Vikings are oh seven on Thursday night games. Carson
Wentz is seven and oh and Thursday night games.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Woo, I gotta give.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
That does sound like it. That's open material right there now.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Yeah, that's exactly right. I'm gonna use that. That's a
heck of a lot better than my UH Chargers are
seven and eight against the Vikings, but did win in
Minnesota twenty eight, twenty four, and twenty twenty three. That's
a lot better. That's a much better nugget.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
I am sending this to you right now so you
can check its integrity through Steve de Seger.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
I appreciate that. That is, I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
So how I'm gonna this happens?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Going to get that into Terry Rogier is what I'm
gonna do.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
Yeah, well, you know, gambling addiction experts are texting in
and saying, you idiot, Petros. It's not about this person's income.
It's about the high man, the high of gambling.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Hear hold on a second, I got some of the
ones to say, Hello, who is it? Hey?
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Are we still on for cards? Is that Daniel Jeremiah.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
I'm just saying if our card game had been canceled
or not.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Yeah, but we played Jin Rummy. The FBI doesn't care
about Jin Rummy. I just ordered, Dan, I just ordered
one of those X ray machines for my home table.
You know, the contacts would be cool. You put those
on and all of a sudden, you're the eyes of
the world.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Man.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
You could see what.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Somebody, somebody ever does a deep dive on.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
You know, I'm you know what I bet you? You
know you you're a pretty clean living guy, Daniel. But
there's something in there? Is it the slots?
Speaker 3 (40:50):
You know what it is?
Speaker 2 (40:51):
But I just think about I just think about my
siblings growing up and all those times I lost in
some of these board games, and I don't even know
if it was on the up and up anymore?
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Right?
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Is like that they could have been connected with the
Five Families. I was gonna say, Danny, so you're seeing
your family's connected. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
I don't know anything anymore.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
I don't know what to believe.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Now you put it on X and all these people
are showing you how the invisible ink on the cards
work with the glasses and all this different stuff.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
I just remember. I remember my brother one Christmas when
we were kids, want one of those automatic shuffle machines.
But I didn't know that was the shoe. But now
I got to rethink it. I never trusted the shoe.
The shoe is a fraud.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
With all due respect to our friends at Morongo Casino
Resorted Spa.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
Is it true, here's money? Wait, hold on, is.
Speaker 4 (41:38):
It true, Matt, that there's a big, fat guy with
an Italian name, like, with sausage in his mouth that
Daniel talks to before every Charger game, right after you guys.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Talked to Harball.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Yeah, Polly pork Chop exactly. He smells like bacon. You know,
he's very intimidated.
Speaker 4 (42:01):
And I woke up this morning and I was like, oh,
we got the f one report. Matt'll check in from Chargers.
We'll talk NBA. You know the Clippers and Lakers would dog.
I did not have Chauncey Billups coughed by the fans.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
No.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
After being inducted into the Hall of Fame just months ago.
Congratulations parts, that's the best part.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
Well, we got Chargers, we got Vikings, we got a
five fifteen kick on KFI. A great scene set from
Matt and Daniel Jeremiah. I'm sure if Shunnon was there,
she would have chimed in as well. Have a great
call up, Matt and we will see the dog.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Knew it is he there? Why did they let him
for dog?
Speaker 4 (42:41):
They let him bring his dog to the The NFL
is complicit with the dog.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
So when you know what, you know what, No, that
might be the Chargers dog.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
The Chargers have a dog. I was gonna say, Matt,
I want you to go up to Kirk and say
do you carry around doggie bags with you in case
he has to go.
Speaker 4 (42:58):
On all the podcast associates. Dude, that's the problem. That's
what bothers.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
That's herbstreet stock. That's herdstreet stock. It's got a handler.
They won't let it on the field. It's on the sideline.
It's on the sideline.
Speaker 4 (43:11):
Well that that's better than most college teams treat the like.
Sometimes I come to the.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Dog's name is Pete. That dog's name is Pete.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
Sometimes when I go down to the field before a game,
I'm like holding a cup of coffee, and every once
in a while, like some Overzell security guy will be like,
can't have that here, It's going to be in a bottle,
you know, And then I see Herb Street's dog running around.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
I'm like, okay, yeah, really.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
But yeah, now, credit to chargers. They are not letting
it go on the field. It is relegated to the
sidelines because I've seen that thing, you know, hovering around
and sniffing on a fifty yard line logo before.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
I'm sure Herbstreet has, you know, all the integrity in
the world when it comes to picking up the poop.
That's not no doubt, that's not somebody else's job. Herbie
takes Catt.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
He's got a little mini spray bottle. It's like a
bat belt, just hooked right there on his waist.
Speaker 4 (44:00):
He where's an Apron suit? All right, Matt, I have
a great night. We appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
Brother. Matt. Would be on tomorrow. We're on from two
to four tomorrow after scam from six to nine.
Speaker 4 (44:14):
I could totally see Daniel Jeremiah, you know, super faithful guy,
doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, nice family, but I could see
him just going insane when he goes to Vegas wild eyed,
sprint to the ATM at three in the morning.
Speaker 3 (44:32):
Yeah, Vegas, you can do it. Yeah, you're right. A
gambling addiction doesn't have to be illegal. No, could be
very destructive.
Speaker 5 (44:45):
Can we call map back? I need more or less
two hundred and sixty five yards passing from Justin Herbert.
Speaker 3 (44:49):
What does he got tonight? Well? Can I be Matt?
The vikingsd sucks. Their secondary has been terrible all year,
so take the more taked. Herbie looks great. I mean
he's been working with Joe Ortiz. We'll be right back

never tell any I'm gonna do with the whip Around.
I never tell anybody what I'm gonna do in the
intro because I want everybody to have a Well, there's
a real reaction. I was going to pick the Dodgers
in five.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well, you certainly had a real reaction to what I said.
Made me look like a fool.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
And what time does everyone's tailgates start tomorrow before the
baseball game three three thirty six am with scam. Yes, six,
this has been.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
We might even have to do the long schedule talk
because there is a lot of scheduling.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
In no time, there's a lever. Anytime I don't have
time to study, I'm never gonna stand schedule talk again.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
This hour, we're gonna talk to Don about basketball and gambling.
Then we're gonna have Matt money Smith, who got his

be arrested David Vasse.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
In our second hour, we'll have an F one report,
as I said, a college whip. And now it's totally
been castrated because Don McClain stole my Dodgers in five pick.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Well, what are you doing doing Dodgers on the college
football whipper Well?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
It was like that the prop to bring it all
together because it's World Series week.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
That's why Scam's on the air. Hey did I mention
I like the Dodgers in five?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Love it down, I love it.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Scam blew up, by the way, screw you Keates. Scam
blew up.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
This morning.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
They had Kurt Suzuki, the new Angels manager, phenomenal. They
had Derek Carr, Matt's arch enemy. They had so many
great guests. Uh seen Sean Green the Canadian while he
was the Toronto Blue Jays prior to Tustin High School.
Tustin High Toilers, same as de Shan Fosters out of
(05:16):
a job, probably going to take a consultant job to
get some of that money. But anyway, the point is this,
I think.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
It's time to go in for a raised him on scam.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Really, you think you should hold him over the barrel
in the last couple of weeks of the season, especially
if they win. You want this scam to continue, I'd
demand more money. This has been scheduled talks.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Don't forget we had Joe Davis on in the first
segment of the show too.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
My god, the Joe Davis bobblehead.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Yeah, Joe was on driving to lax to head back
to Toronto to call the game on Fox.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Nobody else is getting Joe Davis at six am in
the morning Pacific. By the way, Derek Carr phenomenal interview.
Go back and listen on the podcast. I'm worried about
your gonna have to tell your friend Matt. Most of
the interview was about the Dodgers, and he talked.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
About going home and telling your wife that you saw
her arch nemesis from high school at the Starbucks and
changed kind words.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
And she looks really good too. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Yeah, that's not gonna go over on the pilates and
yoga the ex over.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
There, that is not going to go over well for you,
brother at all. Matt's not going to like that at all.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
What do you think Matt's can do the interview with
you guys from a the press box, be the bathroom,
or see the field field?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
No, yeah, press box. You think he's going to be
on the field with a phone on his head? Douche
and house.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
He did it last time.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
No, he won't do that, will He did it last time?
My bad, My bad, I'm sorry. Let's bring in our
special guest host on the Southern California Toyoda Dealers celebrity

Speaker 3 (07:52):
The first official night of college basketball is Monday, November three.
I'll be at poly Pavilion for Eastern Washington at EUCLA
Eastern Eastern. You know it's a coach no used to

Yeah, our friend Dan Munson who recently lost his father. Yes,
I believe. Yeah, Well, God bless coach Monson, an old friend.
Even though he called me Slobby P on the show,
I still have a lot of love for Dan Monse.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I haven't seen him in a while. Look forward to
seeing him.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yeah, that'll be cool. So we're looking forward to that,
and we'll talk to Mick cronin between then and now.
I'm sure, but the Dodgers are in Toronto. Have you
been monitoring media day, tim Have you been monitoring what's
going on out there at what is it called?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Have you no like?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
You know what I mean? Like, aren't they like doing
like a whole crazy media day over there?
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Tim It's not like Super Bowl media day, guys, but
it's next level below that. They got podium set up
throughout the Rogers Center and every player talks to the
media for a set amount of time. Showey Otani addressed
the media. I saw David Vassa was right front and
center when show. He was talking to the media with
Will the interpreter, and there was just mass people everywhere
trying to hear from show. Hey, but that's happening right now.
(09:08):
The Blue Jays are on the field as we speak,
going through their workout, and the Dodgers will follow shortly.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Tim out, how did Dave's box out look? Dave, did
I get low? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Michael Cage not very athletic, but I did see the
elbow albo TSN.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
He had TSN too, the right elbow a little bit.
That's a bad album. You get the elbows up. That's
a bad elbow, you know from his slide down the
Milwaukee Brewers slide that elbows I did see.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
One local reporter had the mic in there and also
had his cell phone on the other hand filming what
was happening, you know, for his own Instagram page.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So that come on, pal fact like you've been there before.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Guys, we'll be a fanboy David Vasse and all of
our coverage from the field to the work site is
brought to you by Strauss powering our world series coverage
on a M five seventy LA Sports Strauss. You see
it on the helmet and it's awesome work where house.
All right, we've intro Don McClain. We've said what we
(10:05):
have going on on the show. We are going to
talk to Matt money Smith. We will talk about the
scourge of gambling in our country as the show continues.
But what I'd like to do right now because Don
is here, and remember the.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Last time prediction for the series, Well we already did
Dodgers in five. But you know what we do, Don
Dodgers and five Donnie, Yeah. Thanks.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Now I know what it's like to be to have
a vasectomy twice. Take all the impotency, all the potency out.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Now. See if there's a bag of peas anywhere in
the building, done.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Sit on them for the resident. No, okay, what we
have done is we found for the Dodgers' opponents throughout
the playoffs and even kind of leading up to the playoffs.
Some have admonished me and said they don't like it.
I love doing it because the Dodgers are a big market.
Everybody knows everything about the Dodgers, but we don't know
(11:05):
anything about Milwaukee or you know, these different We don't.
So one of the ways we've learned about these opponents
is going into their history and finding, like what their
song is. A lot of the time, especially if these
teams started in the late seventies early eighties, they had
a marketing song, and these records became ended up being
gold sometimes platinum records because people would buy them locally.
(11:30):
The Brewers one is pretty unreal. Are you ready for it? Okay,
wait wait wait it's called stop it real quick.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Brewers Fever. You were here for Cincinnati.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Yeah, we're way past the bnl DS.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
You're part of the team in the stands. What's brew?
Come see what's going?
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Go?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
What the good times are? Come see what the brew?
It's a dude and a super stuff. What do you
think about that? You're talking about?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Like robbing you out nineteen eighty.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
You like this one? They got swat. I think I've
heard it before. Yell, it's cruising down Till Boulevard blaring
out of the speaker. Come see what's brewing? All right?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
But I think you really are gonna like the Toronto song.
I really do.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Wait when was that song recorded?
Speaker 4 (12:41):
That was eighty two, I think, And then the Toronto
song came out in eighty three eight, or maybe the
Brewers was like eighty and it got big in eighty
two when they made their their pennant run.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
But so Toronto's like three years later, and you might
be shocked to hear the Toronto song was written by
men who knew nothing about baseball. Very rudimentary. This is
still very popular.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
You've got a diamond, got nine men, got a hat
and a bat. And that's not all you got. The
bleachers got them from springtill fall. You got a dog,
got a drink, and the o bias call.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
What are your WANs? Let's play ball? Is that a
fly ball? See grubble versus coming in from the lake.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Just the cats the game, it's the last inning.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Dave stood down a smoker. I strike you and you
got no doubts. What are your wants? Let's play ball? Okay,
you don't look how to read last play It's still
do I'm still going. It's a beautiful evening.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
The ballpark on the game stars, what summer reasons?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Some's going down. It's all dark, but that's okay. It's
a night game. It's a night game, all right, all right,
I think that's an I'm going through my mental rolodex
of songs that I believe to be the worst songs
I've ever heard before I make this statement, but I
think I'm ready. That is the worst song I've ever
(14:35):
heard my lif don't be that way, ever, the lyrics
are stupid like that, that's the dumbest song I've ever heard.
And you're right rudimentary is like giving it credit. Yeah,
but don you do like the city of Toronto. I
do like the city.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I've only been to the airport, so I know very
little about it other than something that I will talk
about later with you during our Canadian news segment on
the Petches some money show. So we have a packed show,
jam packed gone, Yeah, we do, and we will talk
NBA basketball, maybe some gambling, maybe.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Maybe some gambling. It's the biggest story of the day.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
It is, and I was shocked to see it me too,
And I was unhappy, you know, because I have my
college hoops excuse me, my college football whipper around, I
got my F one report, I have my Blue Jay song.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Were you gonna do a prediction on the Dodgers World Series?
In that segment? Not anymore?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Actually, some six foot ten guy came in here, and
how does it feel to be as tall as all
those weird Halloween skeletons?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
And everybody buys, dude, they're taller. Now you're the only
ones that I of eye with those skeletons. Those things
are like twelve feet. Where do people put those? Where
do they put them in the offseason? I hate to
sound you know however this is going to sound, but
people in our neighborhood hire people to come put them up.
I've seen that. Yeah, let's play ball, huh. But my
(15:59):
dogs hate them. They freak out what they think they're
gonna eat him or something. They start barking out and
they want to like attack him. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Well, that has your height written all over it. We
will return with more great sports talk. We'll play more
ball with Don McClain as the show continues, So Dodgers
and five Don, Yes, I just want to clean. Look,
I just want to clean break and then we'll get back.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
You know.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
I played that Blue Jays song for Softy on Seattle
yesterday and they had like a conniption fit because they
lost to the Blue Jays. And then Kate's while I
was doing the interview, kept playing the final call of
the Springer, the George Springer Danner Yeah, in the ALCS
Game seven after he left the game, uh in game
five when he was hit on the knee by a pitch.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
As stringer digger to say, it didn't go over well
with Softy in them.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
You have got to be kidding me, Ben, That is
the best moment in sports I have ever seen.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
They got really but hurt.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
They took calls after I was done, and like people
were talking about spearing me with the tried end.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
That song actually did put me in kind of a
bad mood too. Well, I'm sorry, well look I'm I'm
I'm coming out of it quickly, but it is the
worst song I've ever heard.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I just got a text it says this, I support
Don if he walks out on you today for doing this.
This is audio terrorism. That's a little I think that's
a little strong.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
No, it's not. Did you consider walking out?
Speaker 4 (17:35):
No, because Softy tried to hang up on me, and
you know what I said, you got time to feel
soft You got the balls to do it. You got
the balls and he didn't do it. Did Hey Kates
didn't do it? No?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
I was like, you got the balls instead, Oh, stringer Dinger.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Don the producer then chimed into like, hey, Petrels, this
isn't cool, dude, this isn't cooler.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Yeah, shouldn't do this, really relaxed war child. Seriously, they
were really riled up.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I don't know Softy did it. At a certain point.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Have to explain to them the segment after, like, you know,
Petros doesn't care about sports, right, Like he doesn't he
doesn't care. I care about one thing, my Dodgers in
five prediction and Don already came in here and urinated
all over that. Yep, it's all soaked with Don's asparagus urine.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Thanks a lot, Stay with us. It's a crunchy group. Thursday.
We're gonna groove it all the way through.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
We'll talk about the big story, the costa Ustra going
up next.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Make AM five seventy or your favorite AM five seventy
LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio using Apple
Car Play or Android Auto road Trip all summer with
LA Sports.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Hey, everybody, it's a crunch groove on Thursday on the
Petrols of Money Show. Nobody knows about crunch of grooves
like us and Ronnie Fassio at Ronnie Fossio on X
where he posts the playlist coming off a very successful
wedding don for Ronnie's son got married.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Cor Ronnie, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Julian in Sydney Fossio. Indeed, congratulations to the beautiful young couple.
We love the young love here, Ronnie, did you cut
the rug?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I sure did, don Yo like dragged me off that
dance floor.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Ronnie is a very mysterious man in many ways, as
you know. And I was very honored that he showed
me some wedding photos and photos of the reception and
everybody looked real nice. It was beautiful down in Temecula,
awesome at the Faulkner Vineyards.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I believe Yes, the Faulkner Winery in Tamechila. Beautiful facility,
beautiful congratulations time. I always enjoyed when I get invited
to a wedding that has had a winery. Why well
because they have wine. Yeah, don you tell him?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Brother?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Now?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Uh, with that in mind, let us get Now, there's
there's one side of the spectrum. Ronnie Fossio in a
good mood. Son just got married. Everything went without a
hitch cloude nine, you know, and you know that's the
daughter's dad that's supposed to pay for you know, so
everything overall. I don't know what their arrangements were. Well,
he's feeling good. But the flip side of that coin
(20:34):
is you got arrested by the FBI this morning.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
You out This is a flip story.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
And by you, I mean Chauncey Billups, our friend, former
Clipper player, former Clipper co distant coach, the best friend broadcaster.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Remember he did it that for a year two.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
The BFF of Tylo Chauncey Billups, somebody we know well
here in southern California because of his association with the Slippers.
I don't know that rosier guy. Other than that this
is going to cost him his life and all the
money he's making, you know, hundreds of millions or whatever
it is, and be a modern NBA money and then
the coach for the Cavs and the whole Lebron thing.
(21:15):
Now there's a lot to unpack, I guess, is what
people say in this. But this was an FBI thing
that's been going on for years, So it's got nothing
to do with the current administration. This is rank and
file FBI people that have been doing their job tracking
this through the mafia for years now. As it relates
(21:36):
to the sports world, as I am not a federal
law expert, none of me either, but as it relates
to the sports world, I'll just say this, and I'm
sure Don's experience is more nuanced and more interesting because
of your ten years in the NBA, award winning NBA
career and being one of, if not the most known
(21:57):
college basketball players in the world when you were doing
your things at UCLA but no social media and no
camera phones right when we were younger in broadcasting, because
you and I kind of started broadcasting around the same
time in local radio and local television UCLA and USC respectively.
(22:18):
The one thing that one of my mentors, my mentor
really the guy that hired me to put me on TV.
Mark Huska drilled into my head and I always thought
it was a little over zealous until I kind of
saw the rest of the way people reacted was And
I'm not a gambling I didn't grow up gambling. I
didn't grow up interested in going to Las Vegas and
(22:40):
interested in playing cards anything like that. But it was
radio active to him. He said, if you're going to
call football games at a national level, here's what you
can't do. This, this, this, and this. We were very
afraid when I started doing local radio about the Indian
gaming and it was just something we started doing reluctantly
(23:01):
doing shows at Marongo back in the day, san Manuel
Shoemash with Huey Lewis, and the news like these were like,
we didn't even will now we do commercials for.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Marongo, some of the biggest sponsors in sports gambling sites.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
It was seen as the third rail, and it was
seen as that for a reason. So now that that
is obviously no longer the case. When they were breaking
this news on ESPN this morning, the FBI did all
this and they had their press conference. ESPN had an
ESPN bet chirn up on the screen and somebody deleted
(23:38):
it like mid segment while they were talking about it
on their morning show. It has become no longer taboo.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
No.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
In your time as an NBA player, I'm sure they
discouraged you guys from even going to Las Vegas, because
that's what they discouraged. It couldn't make you not go.
But at the NFL they try to discourage guys from
going to Vegas.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Well. I even remember back when I was working for
the PAC twelve network for years, we had meetings it said,
if you're gonna gamble while you're there for the PAC
twelve tournament, do not be wearing any PAC twelve Network shirts, hats, right, anything.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
And now you can have a guy that's calling games
and has all kinds of information like I do with
the coaches and stuff like that, sitting in a sportsbook
and doing a show and no one blinks an eye.
And that doesn't mean those guys are corrupt, it doesn't.
It just means that there's a whole lot of crossover
now with the gambling world. Las Vegas was a radioactive
(24:36):
town for sports for years. They had UNLV playing way
out at Sam Boyd, you couldn't bet on UNLV games. Now,
UNLV's an upcome, up and coming college football program. They're
playing an allegiance, which is good for them. It's like
the opposite of UCLA playing at the Rose Bowl. And
then you have the A's showing up. You have the
women's team, you have the Knights, the hockey team, you
(24:59):
got the my God, and now it's no longer taboo.
So if that's the case, you have to expect there's
going to be some seepagche and things like this are
going to happen more and more.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Well, just to finish your point about all that, is
that and think about this if you really and it
stopped me in my tracks what I read about it.
The NCAA just allowed college athletes to bet on professional sports.
So now, because if you're a college athlete for years
and year, you weren't allowed to bet. If you god betting,
you were, you would do seminars right, they're now allowed
(25:33):
to bet on professional sports. So you start there. Then
you start talking about how.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Well it's only a million dollar in iola. Got a
good idea. Yeah, let's get the young guys. Another addiction,
another a vice. I mean there's so many ways we
could take this conversation. But the second thing I would say,
it's so easy to bet now. And so you're sitting
in the locker room, you're on your phone and in
the off season or when you're not in season, you're
betting on that because you're betting on football or euro
(26:00):
League soccer or whatever you're betting on, and you have information,
and you're like, who's going to know? Well, what a
lot of people don't know is there are now companies
that track all this stuff. They track what bets are
being made, how much is being bet on them, and
they see when there's you know, things that don't line up,
(26:21):
like why is there way more money on such and
such as first half scoring total tonight? So they can
find all that stuff and so and again, like you said, Seminars,
I'm sure the NBA has has workshops about that so
easy now, it's so easy.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
But what I'm saying is that they have workshops that say, look,
you can't do it. You know their people are watching whatever,
But people still do it. And so I don't know
what the solution is because if you make it that easy,
and you're making it more legal by the day for
whatever athletes to do it. Then these companies really have
(26:58):
a hard job of tracking all of this stuff. That
being said, the thing that kind of blew my mind
this morning when I read all this was, did you
have a guy like Terry Rozier signed one hundred million
dollar contract? One hundred million dollars? What are you getting
out of giving people information on whether you're gonna play
or not? Like, what even if they gave you one
(27:20):
hundred grand what is that in the whole scheme of things?
To you? The one alarming thing, as it pertains to
Chauncey Billips is that who he was involved with the
Five family, the Five Families? Why you only hear about
that in the movies and watching kojac exactly. And so
I just wonder you think.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
You're watching a movie when you're watching the news this
morning and they're doing the press conference and Chauncey Billups
name is mentioned with the Gambino Prime family.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Yeah, And so that for him is alarming to me
because even if he goes down in this, which I
don't know if he will or he won't, he's involved
with over yet, That's what I'm saying. And so that
because I like Chauncey. You know, we're not great friends,
but I know him. He's always been a good dude,
and I feel bad for him. But you make decisions, Pete,
(28:08):
when you're a pro athlete or a college athlete. And
if you think no one's watching in this day and age,
you're crazy, because they are. And so I think most
people and people that are listening right now to the
show are saying what I just said. Chauncey Billots is
probably making four or five million dollars a year coaching
the Trailblazer pretty good. He made a hundred million playing
(28:28):
pretty good. What do you need this extra money for?
And why would you put yourself at risk? You thought
nobody was going to find this out, ever, And it's
one thing.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
If a guy's really into poker and he's up all
night playing poker, like our old friend Jack Hayley, God
rest his soul.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
But this is not that.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
No you knew this apparently, So we'll get to the
bottom of that, or I'm sure the FBI will at
a certain point. And it's not like I'm some monolith
of integrity. No one would ever say that, But I legitimately,
on purpose, have made myself stupid when it comes to gambling. Now,
sure we do the lines for the college football whip
(29:04):
around because people it's a fun thing to do, and
it's just you know, people aren pools with their friends
and things of that nature, but it doesn't mean anything.
And I know I never, but just forever bet on anything. Ever,
I've made myself completely and totally unaware of that world
because in my twenties I found myself deeply ingrained and
important college football games with all kinds of crazy information,
(29:27):
and I just couldn't. I couldn't risk my career. I
couldn't risk the life I was trying to build for myself.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Well, and that's like if you watch game Day, and
what does it help me? Because I gave a guy
a tip and he made money, what do I get
out of that? Right? Like Kirk Street, he doesn't make
a pick when he's doing the game now, d And
so you're right, Pee, And I've thought about that a
lot too. It's like, gambling's hard. Even if you have information,
doesn't mean you're gonna win. But there's been times when
(29:53):
I'm getting ready for a game, I'm like, oh, these
guys are gonna kill these guys. Yeah, and then you
look at the line and you're like, that's kind of weird.
But you don't actually do it, like.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Once or twice every couple of months where you have
something you're like that doesn't look right.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Do it? No, whatever, you don't put yourself at risk.
And I just can't believe this. Terry Rosier and.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
These are guys a lot more money than we'll ever see. Yeah, well,
I don't know about you.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Do you know the Damon Jones thing with Lebron and
given that injury, I mean, it's so if you think
about it, it is so tempting. He's probably a shoot around.
It was decided that Lebron's not playing, but the Lakers
hadn't announced it. You have friends that gamble, Hey, put
a big bet on it, and we'll talk about what
you're gonna give me later. But people are watching. That's
(30:36):
what I don't understand, Like, what do you think been
watching these guys for two years? Peraly, I don't. I
don't understand what they don't understand. I really don't.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Now what do you think this has got to be?
We talked about the Bamber stuff and what a pain
in the ass that is for Adam Silver that's a
pimple on his ass compared to this. Yeah, what what
do you think is gonna happen? I mean, obviously there's
there's real laws that have been broken here. So the
NBA doesn't I mean, what are they going to do
that the Feds aren't going to do to Chauncey or
or Rosier. But but this has got to be a
(31:07):
tough day for Adam Silver.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
It is. But here's what's interesting, And we don't know
what's going to come out of the Balmer and the
Kawhi thing, right, circumventing the salary cap because that's controlled
by the NBA. Right, this is the FBI. Like Adam
Silver can't call the FBI and be like, hey guys, yeah,
back off, Yeah, back off guys. You know. So those
(31:29):
are two totally separate incidents, but one is controlled by
the NBA and their investigation, the other by the US government.
So I don't know what the fallout is for the
NBA from the government. It's hard to imagine any of
these people involved with the NBA. Ever. Again, Oh, Chauncey,
Rosier and William they're done. Just like John T. Porter,
the guy that got busted from the raptors, like he'll
(31:50):
never be a part of the NBA again either, and
for what exactly ten grand? Fifty grand? Like what now?
Speaker 4 (31:57):
I remember what was the guy's name for Ara on
a state way back? Headache headick Smith Headdik Smith. That
was a big story, big, but it felt so isolated.
And when you see this story and you see the
logistics and who's involved, it feels a little bit like
this could just be the tip of the ice.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Perk more is going on. Well, but what I think
and this isn't look it's all bad for the NBA,
but a big part of it is the poker games,
which has nothing to do with the NBA other than
Chauncey Billups being involved in it.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
And used as kind of like shaving. Play poker with
Chauncey Billups and we'll take your money.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
The point shaving is the big deal. And remember Tim Donahey,
the NBA ref was point shaving. That's a big deal
for the NBA because now you're talking about the integrity
of the game, the integrity of the NBA, but the
poker game is something totally separate that Chauncey Billups just
had to happen to be involved.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
You think these guys are making so much good money,
Why would you risk the money? What are you getting
out of this when you're making so much good You know,
it's not like it's John Valjean stealing bread defeat a
starving kid.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Here, you and I make one thousands of what they
make on a game, and we're still not doing I
wouldn't risk exactly, it's crazy. Well, you know how bad
it would go if I I'd be shot, like immediately
shot and dropped in the harbor. We'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
Matt Smith is going to join us live from SOFI
Stadium where the Chargers are playing on AM six forty
to night taking on the Vikings. Carson Wentz. We'll be
quarterbacking for the Vikings. We'll talk more about this as
the show continues. We got a pack show and we
got the one on only. Donal mcclan here to get
us through.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Hello, PMS listener, did you know AM five seventy LA
Sports has a wide range of LA Sports podcasts. There's
Rogan and Rodde.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
That one is my favorite, Dodger Talk with David, the
Dodger podcast of record, Clipper Talk Without a Musk. Follow
us all and many more.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Just go to AM five to seventy LA Sports. On
the iHeartRadio app, Petro.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Said money on M five seventy LA Sports. We're having
a great time. Roddy Fosso in the house on a
crunchy groove Thursday. Happy he's back this week. Although Katie
did a great job, Don McClain with some interesting gambling perspective.
Somebody came in here. Tim Conway came in and said,
scale of one to ten. How much does the NBA
hate this story? Don McLean said. Don McLean does not
(34:35):
like being asked questions by strangers during the breaks.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I don't mind it. Well, I know at least I
know who he is and who the people are in
the room. Don's answer ten.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
But joining us right now is the host of this
show and the voice of the Bolts on your Southern
California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline Call in the Charger game tonight.
Of course it is Matt Smith. He'll be with Daniel
Jeremiah and shunning Chargers versus Vikings kickoff at five point
fifteen over on KFI. They'll start their pregame show right
after this interview. So thank you for doing it. Matt,
(35:11):
how's it going out there?
Speaker 3 (35:12):
It's so far.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
No, the FBI didn't come and get you this morning,
and that you're doing better than a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Matt. Who do you got to that on the game?
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Yeah, Mack, I just I just lost on the river.
I'm gonna give Chauncey a call. Figured out if that
game was if that game was rigged or not.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
I'm not as bad as poker as I thought. You know.
I I got taken.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I got taken by the mob and mister big shot
of the village. Yeah, you know what for the second
consecutive game. From what I can tell right now, you know,
they just started letting people in. But the field looks great.
It's the you know, the dominant era of Chargers football,
those early two thousands with Junior Seau and Rodney Harrison
and Rivers and Gates and Tomlinson and all those dudes.
(35:55):
It's the Navies with the Chargers, you know, script in
the end zone with that that beautiful old line running
through the lower third of the letters. So they do
a great job of making this place look different, even
though it's a shared stadium. So at least on that front,
the vibes. They're gonna you know what, it's good to
get this thing going quickly because of how bad that
game looked on Sunday, just the way the defense played
(36:15):
the first half of the offense, not being able to
dig out of that hole that they kind of got
themselves in. So just you know, flush that thing and
hopefully get a win here and get that mini by Joe.
Walt's going to play today, so that's a huge win
for them. Trey Pipkin's going to play today, so that's
a huge win for them. Both their tackles coming back
instead of playing their sixth and seventh string tackles in
this one.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Hold on, let me get on the phone with Fan Duel.
That is great information those tackles back.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
That is you. Where are you right now, Matt?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
I am in our booth. Yeah, I'm in the booth,
not down on the field. As soon as I finish,
I'll probably we got a little scene set we got
to do, and then I'll head down on the field,
do a lap, say ah to some folks, and get
ready for this one. You know, well, I want to
see if the dogs down there. You know how much
I love the dog pe so I want to want
(37:04):
to see if if Herb Street brought his dog and
let it run around at liking both in the fifty
yard line.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
I don't think the dog gets the NFL run. Yes
he does. He gets every Runna, I don't think so, Matt, Matt,
was there any talk this week? I'm sure every team's different,
it is in the NBA and how they manage their schedule,
but any talk about being a short week and playing
on Thursday, playing at home. Last Sunday the Vikings played
at home, but they have to travel to LA Is
there any talk about that for tonight?
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Huge advantage for the Chargers, no question, you know, and
they played a very physical Philadelphia Eagles team, right, So
you're on a short week, you lose a day because
you have to travel, you end up playing one of
the more physical teams. So yeah, this is something. And
look in years past, we've been on the Chargers around
the other side of that, where we're going to Kansas
City on a Thursday night after playing you know, a
physical Broncos team or something along those lines. So yeah,
(37:55):
I think it lines up. And look, that's just the
reality of Thursday night football, right is Like last year,
look at last year done speaking of the Broncos, right,
the Broncos and that really, you know, really got hosed
on that one. It's a flex into Thursday night. You
were supposed to play Chargers Broncos on Sunday. Now they're told, oh, yeah,
you completely lost your week's schedule because you're coming out
(38:15):
on a Thursday, you know, on a two week notice.
So yeah, it's definitely advantage home team. I think it's
kind of a it's kind of two sides of the coin, right.
One side, Yeah, it sucks to play on the short week,
but you get a mini by ten days off to
get some guys healthy in this Charger team that really
needs that.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Did you know the Thursday night football fun fact? Matt?
Speaker 4 (38:36):
Did you did you know that the vikings in effect,
the vikings are oh and seven in Thursday night games.
Carson Wentz is oh and seven in Thursday night games,
and the vikings are also oh and seven in Thursday
night game. I mean, this would be a real boon.
This might be something you might want to call Chauncey
(38:57):
Billups Italian friends.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
You just did Matt's open for him? Is that the
open there game game?
Speaker 2 (39:05):
I'm gonna I'm gonna use that. I had the I
have the record between these.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
No, I got it wrong. Now you wait see corrections
and retraction.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Right, here's the deal. I got it wrong the Vikings.
The Vikings are oh seven on Thursday night games. Carson
Wentz is seven and oh and Thursday night games.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Woo, I gotta give.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
That does sound like it. That's open material right there now.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Yeah, that's exactly right. I'm gonna use that. That's a
heck of a lot better than my UH Chargers are
seven and eight against the Vikings, but did win in
Minnesota twenty eight, twenty four, and twenty twenty three. That's
a lot better. That's a much better nugget.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
I am sending this to you right now so you
can check its integrity through Steve de Seger.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
I appreciate that. That is, I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
So how I'm gonna this happens?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Going to get that into Terry Rogier is what I'm
gonna do.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
Yeah, well, you know, gambling addiction experts are texting in
and saying, you idiot, Petros. It's not about this person's income.
It's about the high man, the high of gambling.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Hear hold on a second, I got some of the
ones to say, Hello, who is it? Hey?
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Are we still on for cards? Is that Daniel Jeremiah.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
I'm just saying if our card game had been canceled
or not.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Yeah, but we played Jin Rummy. The FBI doesn't care
about Jin Rummy. I just ordered, Dan, I just ordered
one of those X ray machines for my home table.
You know, the contacts would be cool. You put those
on and all of a sudden, you're the eyes of
the world.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Man.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
You could see what.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Somebody, somebody ever does a deep dive on.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
You know, I'm you know what I bet you? You
know you you're a pretty clean living guy, Daniel. But
there's something in there? Is it the slots?
Speaker 3 (40:50):
You know what it is?
Speaker 2 (40:51):
But I just think about I just think about my
siblings growing up and all those times I lost in
some of these board games, and I don't even know
if it was on the up and up anymore?
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Right?
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Is like that they could have been connected with the
Five Families. I was gonna say, Danny, so you're seeing
your family's connected. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
I don't know anything anymore.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
I don't know what to believe.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Now you put it on X and all these people
are showing you how the invisible ink on the cards
work with the glasses and all this different stuff.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
I just remember. I remember my brother one Christmas when
we were kids, want one of those automatic shuffle machines.
But I didn't know that was the shoe. But now
I got to rethink it. I never trusted the shoe.
The shoe is a fraud.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
With all due respect to our friends at Morongo Casino
Resorted Spa.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
Is it true, here's money? Wait, hold on, is.
Speaker 4 (41:38):
It true, Matt, that there's a big, fat guy with
an Italian name, like, with sausage in his mouth that
Daniel talks to before every Charger game, right after you guys.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Talked to Harball.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Yeah, Polly pork Chop exactly. He smells like bacon. You know,
he's very intimidated.
Speaker 4 (42:01):
And I woke up this morning and I was like, oh,
we got the f one report. Matt'll check in from Chargers.
We'll talk NBA. You know the Clippers and Lakers would dog.
I did not have Chauncey Billups coughed by the fans.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
No.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
After being inducted into the Hall of Fame just months ago.
Congratulations parts, that's the best part.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
Well, we got Chargers, we got Vikings, we got a
five fifteen kick on KFI. A great scene set from
Matt and Daniel Jeremiah. I'm sure if Shunnon was there,
she would have chimed in as well. Have a great
call up, Matt and we will see the dog.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Knew it is he there? Why did they let him
for dog?
Speaker 4 (42:41):
They let him bring his dog to the The NFL
is complicit with the dog.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
So when you know what, you know what, No, that
might be the Chargers dog.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
The Chargers have a dog. I was gonna say, Matt,
I want you to go up to Kirk and say
do you carry around doggie bags with you in case
he has to go.
Speaker 4 (42:58):
On all the podcast associates. Dude, that's the problem. That's
what bothers.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
That's herbstreet stock. That's herdstreet stock. It's got a handler.
They won't let it on the field. It's on the sideline.
It's on the sideline.
Speaker 4 (43:11):
Well that that's better than most college teams treat the like.
Sometimes I come to the.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Dog's name is Pete. That dog's name is Pete.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
Sometimes when I go down to the field before a game,
I'm like holding a cup of coffee, and every once
in a while, like some Overzell security guy will be like,
can't have that here, It's going to be in a bottle,
you know, And then I see Herb Street's dog running around.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
I'm like, okay, yeah, really.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
But yeah, now, credit to chargers. They are not letting
it go on the field. It is relegated to the
sidelines because I've seen that thing, you know, hovering around
and sniffing on a fifty yard line logo before.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
I'm sure Herbstreet has, you know, all the integrity in
the world when it comes to picking up the poop.
That's not no doubt, that's not somebody else's job. Herbie
takes Catt.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
He's got a little mini spray bottle. It's like a
bat belt, just hooked right there on his waist.
Speaker 4 (44:00):
He where's an Apron suit? All right, Matt, I have
a great night. We appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
Brother. Matt. Would be on tomorrow. We're on from two
to four tomorrow after scam from six to nine.
Speaker 4 (44:14):
I could totally see Daniel Jeremiah, you know, super faithful guy,
doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, nice family, but I could see
him just going insane when he goes to Vegas wild eyed,
sprint to the ATM at three in the morning.
Speaker 3 (44:32):
Yeah, Vegas, you can do it. Yeah, you're right. A
gambling addiction doesn't have to be illegal. No, could be
very destructive.
Speaker 5 (44:45):
Can we call map back? I need more or less
two hundred and sixty five yards passing from Justin Herbert.
Speaker 3 (44:49):
What does he got tonight? Well? Can I be Matt?
The vikingsd sucks. Their secondary has been terrible all year,
so take the more taked. Herbie looks great. I mean
he's been working with Joe Ortiz. We'll be right back
with your word number Song of the day, Mack,
