And before we bring in our next guest. What a
guest we have for you.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
We have so many distinguished people here.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
But unlike Brian Gutierres, unlike Letty lopezby Oh, we have
no dueling local politician.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Do not.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
We wanted to get someone right down the middle.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
We wanted to get somebody who's a real mover in shaping,
someone to celebrate West Covina, to set aside petty differences
at city council meetings.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
A man that can look forward, not back.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
West Covina is a raucous town and it is controlled
by Tony Wu.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
City councilmen. We're going to bring on in a moment,
and we are here to get along. We're here to
put smiles on people's faces.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
We aren't here to.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Steal anybody's gavel, so they have to use the heel
of their hand to get order.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
In a meeting, they did say it was a subcommittee
that assumed the gavel was theirs, and that is why
they took it with him.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
I find that to be bs.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
We aren't here to accuse anyone or censure anyone. We're
not here to try to turn West Covina into a sewer,
which is what Covena tried to do some decades ago.
They wanted a swimming in feces like Matt does every day.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
I do, and I find it rewarding.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
We are here to spread Christmas cheer and giveaway prizes,
some of which are worth a lot and some are
The Sea Hunt Complete first season box set.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Now listen if you've got a DVD player that does
have tremendous value. We are here also to pack four
hours into two hours, the reverse of the double up,
so you perhaps in your life if you don't drink
too much and feel like you're gonna float out of
here and eat Adobe pizza and then feel like the
state puff.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
Domain one legendary remix.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
You can double up and hit this party and another
one and feel like you exhausted all of your avenues
here and then move on. So we are not doubling up,
so you can double up tonight, right, Yeah, we have
had our production. Now, don't expect any West Covina political
fireworks because we have a guy here who holds those

(09:53):
things down. Now, Matt Smith does want local political fireworks.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
I do. I like strife, I like dicord I like censures.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
But we're only here to spread good cheer. I like recalls.
No political censure again, ferendums. We apologize again for the
scheduling issue, and in retrospect, I do regret saying that
nobody has the balls to sit here for four hours,
because frankly, it's not gonna happen anyway. What it was
doing a two hour show, it's not happening. But like

(10:23):
the kids, Matt, we're gonna go quick. We're gonna bang
bang TikTok style two hour blowout leading into what we
expect even if it's on TV, here will be another
Clipper loss.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
It's almost guaranteed six and twenty. But they did say
when Derek Jones Junior comes back, they expect everything to
turn around.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
It is a tough pill to swallow for the very
few people that make up Clipper Nation. It's kind of
like like a very.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Small country, like that one you talked about in the
seat games that we did that just was founded in
like two.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Now if Letty Lo Pezbiano or the Goot Brian Gutierrez here,
Tony Wu and they want fair and balanced time and
they fight the holiday traffic down here to the curves,
which is called here in West Covina.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
I mean there's a lot of stuff around here.

Speaker 5 (11:15):
I can see Letty doing that. I'm not sure about
the Goots.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
You don't think Goot's gonna make it better.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
Goot's gonna make it I think Letty could.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Everyone is welcome here in West Covina, Everybody here in
the San Gabriel Valley, everybody off the ten Freeway and
beyond is welcome to partake in great sports talk because
we have truly a.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Table, great sports table of plenty.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Tonight, now the display of items to give away that
Tim put out. Tim got here very early and put
out all these items like a garage sale. It's beautiful. Yeah,
good job today. It's truly beautiful. It's truly something to
be proud of. It is the spore or the detritus
of twenty years of great sports.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Talk, great sports talk.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
In fact, this bobblehead was created even before I joined.

Speaker 2 (12:05):

Speaker 8 (15:18):
At that time, I just purchas a house in West
Covina in nineteen eighty nine, and I have a pregnant
wife and no job. So I decide to see find
another career. And then and it happened. I decided to
go into the real estate and I become a mortgage
banker and the real estate investors.

up the city of West Covina. Is that where all
your real estate is? Do you own like half of
this town or what is it? No?

comfortable interest, so so I own all the same.

The mayor is a rotation, right, And I got elected
in twenty fifteen, and I came out earlier again. Twenty
eighteen I ran as a district I got elected again.

Now, you were you were a bit of an arbiter
of peace at the city council meeting. When things started
getting hot. He had to keep control, to keep control
of it. You know, some people start barking at each other.
It then one guy doesn't want to get out of
a chair. Somebody's stealing a gavel. People are screaming at
each other. Some city manager is being threatened with being fired.
I heard there's a lawsuit being filed. The guy doesn't

(19:43):
even show up, and he had two opportunities to public
in the case gets dismissed. Public tears, and you're in
the midst of it. You're trying to keep calm all
around you. How do you keep calm in the midst
of a storm? People don't know my.

Beg Well, okay, I have a messed degree in final
in filmmaking, right, so zero or this drama is come
with my job. I enjoy every minutes of this drama. Okay,

in the Ada thing. It kept coming back up time
and time again. The American Disabilities Act.

Speaker 8 (20:32):
Okay, yeah, they basically we have a two a DA
quote unquote people on our diets, so meaning meaning no

and get a drink at the bar and say hello
to great sports talk.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
We do.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
I did not sports talk, but Tim Kats has the
shirts laid out in sizes, so like Matt and I
now work at the J Crew, Oh yeah, people are
coming over like, well, you gave me an extra large
and I'm more of a large.

Speaker 2 (29:16):

Speaker 5 (29:17):
I had a gentleman, Like.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
We work at the Abercommrie. We're not in retail here.
I had a gentleman exchange is extra large for a large?
And then he came back and said, can I exchange
the large for that ice chest? I said, I believe
that ice chest just Bert's lunch and he said.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
I just think that's that carries Bert's a quinton, right.

So we'll be back with more great sports talk. We'll
get back on the clock. We'll talk to the great
Sweet James Bergner, who's brought his T shirt cannon to
blow your head off.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
Yeah, let's not give away any more T shirts. Let's
blow him out of the camp. Well, sweet James has
his own T shirt. Oh he does, well, I don't
think he shows. I just show up with a cannon,
shot up with the gun, and you got no bullets.
You don't chum up with a gun and ask people
for bullets. We're gonna launch those Modello shirts giving away
Clipper tickets for New Year's Day club seats, high end tickets.

(30:15):
By the way, I hit something in the rafters earlier
and a lot of dust came on, So you're gonna
avoid the rafters, okay. I don't want like a tarantula
to fall off on like somebody's hand. And by the way,
if you're standing on honey, you got nowhere to sit.
It's like picnic bench seating, so feel free to squeeze in.
We're all friends here. If you see an open seat,
grab an open seat. And like Tony Wu told us,

(30:37):
what does everybody like to do?

Speaker 2 (30:38):

Speaker 4 (31:16):
Another shout out p A special thank you to George
from the Brotherhood Crusade in Inglewood and the Bolt Academy.
Brought a number of his students out here Dante to
see the young people who's at Syracuse. Khalil, Cosey, Leah
and Devine all with him through the Bolt Academy, through

(31:37):
the Brotherhood Crusade, doing great work there with kids in
Inglewood making sure they are able to chase and achieve
their dreams. So thank you George and all the kids
that are putting in that big work.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
We're here in beautiful West Covina at the Bjay's Restaurant
in brew House. It is the final, Final, Final Petreusen
Money Remote of twenty five, one of the big parts
of the Petrosen money show for decades has been our
dear friend and patron. Think of us as the strung

(32:11):
out jazz trumpeter living in the guest room of a
great sponsor. That's right, a patron of the arts, so
to speak. The one and only Sweet Chants Burmiter.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Order in the court. Order in the court. It's time
for justice with Sweet Jinks.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
When it comes to beers boy over to justice when
it comes to being mysterious, like riding a Ducatti crotch
rocket all the way.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Down to ten.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
Oh, yeah, you know we're talking about Sweet James.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Now.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
The good news is Sweet James is here and we
haven't seen him in a while.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
It's the better.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
News is he brought the T shirt cannon.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Oh, that's amazing news. The bad news is what we
don't have any co twos? Oh anybody no place?

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Well, okay, I feel like the kids that get everything
ready for the paintball War. They get all the way
out in the middle of nowhere and then they realize
they have no ceo too. But that's okay. He still
brought a bunch of T shirts that we can throw around.
And it's also a little bit of a legal hazard
to have a T shirt cannon at the BJ's kis small.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Let's say if we shot something in one of those.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
Bee hives fell and hurt one of the people, we
could be sued horribly.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Am I wrong? Sweet Jake? You're not wrong.

Speaker 11 (33:28):
We've had a good run a couple of years ago.
We broke a lot of plates and glasses before.

Speaker 5 (33:32):
It's so maybe it's maybe that's good. Yeah, you're probably right.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
It's probably for the best now overall doesn't mean we
can't knock him up and throw them at people.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
During the holiday season, we don't expect to see Sweet James.
We usually see him traveling around globe, trotting, going places
of great interests, shrim metalfest. It's true we don't expect
him to be in a place like West Covina on
a day like today, But here he is.

Speaker 11 (33:59):
What what brings you to town? Sweet James? You guys
and the listeners absolutely season.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Yeah, you announced yesterday that you would be on the show.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
I did, and here you are. We didn't actually expect you.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Now, let's do our formal Christmas present to Sweet James,
because he's what so much to us Now a few
years ago, Vic the brick Oh cleaned out his liquor
cabinet and he gave us three very special old bottles

(34:34):
that are worth a lot of money, like this thousands
of dollars special hennessey Kgyak that Lebron would give his
steroid and.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Out left nut for that's right here? Can we be
sued for that? Can we be sued for that? Sweet
James can allegation?

Speaker 4 (34:49):

last thing is like look at this, that's the real
pricey one, Sweet James.

beautiful Japanese whiskeys. Our gift to you, Sweet James, for
giving so much to the people.

Speaker 5 (35:08):

Speaker 3 (35:18):

tried to give it to a bunch of guys that
don't drink.

Speaker 5 (35:29):

about you accepting the gift.

beautiful thing. Yeah, very nice. Now when you drive down
the ten, yes, and I drove down the ten to
get here and I passed about I don't know fifteen,
Sweet James.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
Billboards, yeah, fifteen at least. Do you block them out?
Do you see them? Do you look at them with
pride when you're in the southern California area? How do
you react to those many bills? I don't look at them.
I'm not kidding.

Speaker 11 (36:39):
It is the worst photo of me. I no, it's terrible.
I I would not have picked that photo. What about
the cartoon Sweet James? Do you like the cartoon let?

Yes?

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Did you think that you would become such a I
mean is that?

Speaker 3 (37:08):

to have their photo everywhere, to be in a bunch
of TV commercials and stuff.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
I'm in law school.

Speaker 11 (37:15):
My second year of law school, I get hired at
an employment lawyer's office.

So the contract like eight pages long, like I'm going
to share turn there, and the very last paragraph was, hey,
the law of this reserves the right to use your
image in marketing. And I crossed out and I was like,
