You're saying that I'm paying, I'm playing my whole roster,
my whole just a five guy. In the second half,
you say I'm being inexperienced. Let's you say I'm an
inexperienced Asian and Pacific islander.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying, Asian American Pacific islander.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Like you hear that and it still sounds soothing to
the naked ear. But we play that too much. Yeah,
we got thirty days left. I guess grating is the word.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
But this, heyde, what if I settle on that island
of trash in the middle of the Pacific? Am I in?

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Happy Asian American Pacific Islander month. I promise not to

Matt's right, it's a month and a month. But we
got a lot of flex shows next week. I know.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
We got to show tomorrow, show Monday, Thursday, went to

it in.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Wikipedia Yamamoto, Should I warn Toss my favorite player.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Well, we can talk to Yamamoto, but it's gonna need
a translator.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh, he's doing pretty good.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Hey, I'm a mote. How's your scroll?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It's good? All right, It's time for the word of
the day.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
His words the word of the day, Matt. I was
there last night where at the gala, the third annual yep,
the third Annual Beach Life Gala in Redondo Beach, Rick
Springfield played you know, beach Life the festival in Redondo
(04:34):
Beach tomorrow. Not the size of Stagecoach or Coachella, smaller
in size, but very intimate and quite popular.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Well and I don't have to drive to the desert.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Very popular in the South Bay and deeply accessible and
well run. And I happen to have gone to high
school with the founder of Beach Life and have worked
in and around it for some years now. It's connected
to iHeartMedia the last couple of years which our friend's
booker and striker and them will be out there nice
(05:04):
over the weekend. Last night at the gala in Rinondo Beach,
Rick Springfield played.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Good looking guy, good looking guy, very charming out hits.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
And you know, Matt, it's beach life season in the
South Bay kind of now, it's like kind of like Christmas.
You know, everybody starts thinking about it. Everybody gets their
nineties hard ass on. When Sublime comes on on Saturday,
Papa Cap and Sancho and slap her down.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
What I really want to know?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Anyway, last night I got to say, I'm not really
impressed by anything. Oh I was impressed by the Intuit Dome.
But what they've done with the California Surf Club, which
is open now to members, and I think the restaurant
will be opening soon to everybody. But the California Surf Club,
which is part of kind of the beach life thing,
(05:57):
and it's like the old Chillers if you remember down
in King Harbor near Moose mcgillicuddy's adjacent and the old
Rubies connected into this giant surf club. And the attention
to detail and the bars and the pictures on the
wall and the fireplaces and just the way everything's placed
and just the sprawl is really impressive. The guy that
(06:22):
I went to high school with, Alan Sandford, designed it,
and man it is great. So if you're over there
at beach life, check it out. I'll be there to
see the Beach Boys, I think on Sunday, and to
do some stuff for Toyota because they are a sponsor.
And I'm gonna try to get a whiff a big
head Tod in the Monster's Maps. But when Sublime comes on,
(06:45):
everybody gets that nineties hard ass going again. You know
what I mean. It's like all these fifty year olds.
Well the last time they did, but you know that
time it was Sublime with Rome. This time it's Sublime
with Bradley Knowle's Seed. So we'll see, yes, Kates.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Well, I mean this look no further than Stage Coach.
Last weekend, right, Creed was playing the Goo Goo Dolls?
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Were there?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Nelly Nelly? Is that right?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
My son asked me to see white people like in
all of that though.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
My son, who is white yes and twelve, asked me
on the way to school this morning to play Hey
must have been a money And I was like, it's
the matter with you? He was like, oh, I freaked
out when this came on. It's stage Coach, yeah, And.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I was like, you ool, why she's discovering new music
that his father won't expose him to.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
You know why Nelly wished that bandid his brother was
in jail.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Spend your schook at the cover of this album.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
He's right by the Saint Newis arch.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I remember when I was at USC Walkinge de la class,
walking by the Shrine auditorium. But there must have been
like a Nelly show or stuff, because I was like, right
when he was getting popular and his his impala or
whatever which was painted up like the Saint Louis ran
with the ram horns in it, because there was like
Kurt Warner and all that, and I was like, that
(08:05):
must be Nelly's he man may don joy Man. No,
let my friend. Now we had a deaf guy on
the team, uh, but most like Nelly. Yeah, he's from
Saint Louis and we didn't have Nelly, and we never
(08:26):
heard Nelly. No one had never heard Nelly. He had
the Nelly tapes, the mixtapes, and he was waker. Then
he would dance with his ghetto blaster and put on
like of like almost like a like a Third Street
promenade Santa Monica thing, like a sideshow, and we just
sit around and watch this mostly deaf guy who's a
linebacker from a JC and Saint Louis dance around. His
(08:48):
name was John Cousins, and he been let me in,
no let me and you know man hit her song
and Harry wrong, let me in, Let Mama, I'm the mama.
And then in that camp and he would dance Matt
like Marathon, but sweat and dance. He'd keep going, not
(09:11):
like you do a couple moves and he sit down
and laugh with your friends. He'd keep going and like
freshman be walking by and he'd dance up on him.
And then unfortunately he was walking with his ghetto blaster
at camp at uc Irvine, with the ghetto blaster on
his shoulder like the dude from Bad Boys, right, and
he's deaf, and he was hit by a car. Oh uh, wasjured,
(09:34):
was not injured, but you know, did get up and
continue to dance, but takes away half your peripher John
John Cousins a great teammate at the University of Southern California,
one of my favorites, and he introduced all of us
Matt long before the CD came out Country Grammar. He
introduced us to Nelly John j C. There was one
(09:57):
moment in camp that first camp when we're wretching, you know,
and you know how the routine now and Paul Hackett,
you know, blows the horn. He's like, everybody, come in,
come in, the team coming. It's like, well, I want
to I want to talk to us right now, you know.
And we go in there and he goes, has anyone
seen John Cousins? What do you mean? They were like,
he was in the house where we left, in our dorm.
(10:18):
They were like, guys, he's daf Like the alarm is
not You've got to wake him up. And uh. In
the middle of the conversation, John Cousins comes running out,
full full path like, well, I love you JC. It's
time for the word of the day.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Here's my number number next to dead and the line
guy birth day of the day. The number of the
day is uh four twenty five for slash twenty five.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Let's had a date.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
That's a date April twenty twenty five. I routinely, because
I have children that milk my teats for every last
cent that I make, and most of it goes to
streaming services. Just countless numbers of streaming services.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I do have one I do. I do allow myself
one streaming service that is only for me in the house.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Oh is that right, brit Box there you go. Oh okay,
I thought you were gonna say Bangbros. Or something like that.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well, no, if that was the case, i'd have to
pay Dave Magdaleno cash on the side because I wouldn't
want the on your credit card, right, And he's not
here anymore, so there's no one for me to pay
cash on the side to for porn.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
But my kids wear me out, like they wear me
out because they can't watch one of them simultaneously on
X number of devices and they're getting boxed out by wallah.
So now I got to pay the premium for that one.
And then it's like seriously, like we're really doing Hulu
with ads? Like where do you know how annoying this is?
(11:52):
And I'm like, well, I'm sick. I don't want to
pay him eight bucks for no ads and I still
get ads. Well yeah, but it's like it's not as
distract and and so.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
That's all the streaming service thing used to be, like
you pay for this and there's no app, right, and
now like look what they're doing to us exactly you
know why. It's because they're broke, and the streaming services
don't work.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
That's right, Matt.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Try watching a Handmaid's Tale with commercial.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
OK, That's what I did. That's how I get cased.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I love the sake, I love the sacred ceremony.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
So finally, yesterday I had it. I had enough. I
had enough, and I made the call. I made the
call to cancel.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I don't want to say in case we have to
endorse them down the road. So I'm going to say
I want because then I'll talk about how great they are.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
You executed somebody.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
When I signed up for this streaming service, I was
so excited because it was seventy dollars a month and
I had been paying one hundred and ninety five dollars
a month for my television service. So I find stream
I'm early on the stream front and seventy and since
then it made its way. No new channels, no new technology,
(12:57):
exact same thing I signed up for had reached one
hundred and forty four bucks a month, and I'm like,
this is asinine, this is do you understand You have
not added a single channel, nothing's changed. It's the same
service I signed up for four years ago, and you've
more than doubled the cost. And they're like, well, you
(13:18):
know we can, and so I said, I'm like.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I can't start cancel everything and stare off. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
See, So I said, you know what i'd like to
I said, I go, I'm done. I'm canceling. I said, well, okay,
if you must cancel, your service will end on May
thirty first. I said May thirty first, No, it'll end today,
April thirtieth. I'm calling you before May first. Well, the
billing cycle technically starts when you're notified. I said, I
(13:43):
don't get notified. It's auto pay. Well, the billing cycle
technically starts on April twenty ninth, so you do have
service through me. I said, that's not how it works.
I'm looking at my credit card statement and you charge
me on the second of every month, so I have
not been charged.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
You know, usually in these situations, if you down Warren
Crime in the moment, they'll buckle, and they'll buckle like
JJ Raddick in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
They were not buckling though, they were just like, yeah,
we got your money.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
They stoned you in the A gap and then they
stoned you at the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
So then they say there's nothing we can do. The
bill has already been completed, and I'm I finally had
enough after being on them.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Who I think it's Disney Plus?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
So I hang up. I'm frustrated. I've been on the
phone for forty minutes. I get a call. Five minutes later,
I get a call mister Smith. Yes, this is so
and from so As. I said, yes, your card on
file has expired. We are not able to charge you
(14:46):
for the service. Would you like to update your card
or else your service will be interrupted immediately? I said,
is that right?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
What's what?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
What card is the fount? Well, the expiration date is
four twenty five. We're going to charge you on a
second and if we can't, we're gonna have to interrupt
your service. And I would have said, just serendipity that
this person decides to call me to tell me I
need to update my card from my streaming service.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Do you think they might send you to collections for
that last month?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I already paid for it. They wanted to charge me
for the month of May that they said I had
to wear till the third church.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
They'll send you collections for the month of May.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You know what they're gonna get back.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I screwed.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
That's what I'm gonna give them back if they do that. Victory.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Hey, I'm a mote.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
What's your screw for the little guy? For the little guy?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Way to go, Matt. Finally you scurried away from that
that that streaming service.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
You'd like to update your cards? Oh no, Matt, No,
I would not like to update my and then my
my service was off five minutes.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
We talked to that guy like that on Asian American
Pacific Islanders.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Mom said, that's what he said to me. I said, no,
I would not like to update my card. Your service
will be interrupted immediately. And I said, that's fine. Interrupted.
I don't care.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I think that they're not done with you, Matt. I
think they're gonna send you to collections.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I'll send them to collections.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
You're on my list.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
So what are you gonna do now?
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Man?
Speaker 6 (16:03):
How are you gonna watch things?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I purchased a different streaming service for half the price,
and I feel a lot better about myself. And my
phone's been blowing up from my children. What's the password?
I can't get into Max? What's going on? Why can't
I get it? At tastey? Why can't I get that
because it was all tied into this one service. And
I'm like, I'll figure out when I get home.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
You know what you should change to? Just go full
two B tell them their stock washing it. You're watching
the Rockford Files forever exactly right should be and roku,
that's what you did. Period.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
Today's song of the day is called the Heart of
Gold off the nineteen seventy two album titled Harvest from
Neil Young. A crunchy groove for a Thursday afternoon where
the Petros and Money Show will go with three hours
of great sports talk as we prepare for Game six
of Clippers playoff basket ball it into a dome who
will have to show a lot of heart. They want
(17:03):
to come back for that gold against the Nuggets in
a Game seven, and our friend Adam Oslin will be
eager to bring you that highly anticipated Clippers countdown show
at six o'clock.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Hey, they made it further than the Lakers, no matter what,
exactly right? You know? I have found something interesting out
about this song the other day. Seriously about this Heart
of Gold by Neil Young. A lot of people hate
Neil Young, love Neil Young. I mean like a lot
of music people like George Harrison hated Neil Young. Like
a lot of they just couldn't say yeah, well that
and then just like the voice or whatever. But this
(17:35):
was the most the most interesting thing I thought was this.
Bob Dylan was offended by this song deeply because he
thought that Neil Young in writing this song, because he
thought that, look, this is exactly the type of song
I would write. This is authentically me, and he is
(17:57):
he is duplicating my genius to make fun of me.
Like he thought this, he took this song. And it's
very rare that Bob Dylan would ever say anything about
another artist song or anything, especially critically. But Dylan said
that that Neil Young, he took this song that Neil
Young did as a personal affront to him because it
(18:20):
was something that he would write how he would write it,
and he didn't think Neil Young should have done that.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
And Neil Young was just like, hey, Neil Young, look
I can do this in my sleep.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Eh sure, Neil, go snort another line of cokee, Neil,
this notes for you. You know, cable TV used to
be that model too, Matt, that you didn't have to
watch commercials. Yeah, yeah, and then Live Sports came in
and it all changed exactly right, all they ever do.
We weren't even supposed to pay taxes. Yeah, no state tax,
(18:58):
and all of a sudden, Hey, let's just say, hey,
let's do property text. Hey, let's add this.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Hey, let's add that.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I want to be free.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
They ever taken away? No exactly, I never subtracted away. Hey,
just add more and says in milk or teeds. Right
a few meal, We'll be right back. Keep me searching,
keep me searching.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Smart business, Matt, Pretty smart guy, Matt. And your credit
card is uh expired? You got one up on those guys.
I did tell you. Those guys are sitting there at
their call center right now, just confused, looking at each
each other, like damn, how did that happen? Were you
gonna talk to Joe Hortiz next?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yes, yeah, get to general manager of the Chargers. Draft

speaking of college football, take a few minutes and give

He's very knowledgeable on the things that you come up
with as far as for with your knowledge.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
All right, are we allowed to ride off our streaming services?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Miss?
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Oh? Okay?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
How we watch our sports? I'm gonna tell my wife that. Yeah, Matt,
big news. Now, this is an old song called Last
Train to San Fernando. I know that San Fernando and
San Bernardino are two different places. Deshaun Foster, the head
(21:41):
coach of the UCLA Bruins, who as you know, are
in La said U C l A. Well, once again,
the if and.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Road they're doing it, yes, the boot camp training, well, no,
we don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
In twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen, ending in twenty seventeen,
our friend of the multiple offensive formations, our friend who
had two handfuls of Jeff Ulbrick's face when he was
his decordinator at UCLA. Jim Mora one decade ago the
(22:24):
Petrosen Money Show, pulled out our bucket, our soapy water,
it was a good time, and our shammi and washed
up Mora's balls, telling him how great it was that
he was going out to San Burdu and doing camp
off campus and frying his football team, forging.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Them in the hot, hot Inland Empire Son.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
And they stopped doing it in twenty seventeen because they
built that beautiful practice facility, right, Kates, they built that
beautiful one.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yeah. With the parking struggle, oh okay, well something to
be happy about. Yeah, for sure, Deshaun Foster is going
to have to take UCLA off campus this fall because
a new grass field we're being installed outside the new
field that they built for Chip Kelly, the Wasserman Center.
(23:19):
You know, they built it up for Jim Mora, and
it was supposed to be so great, and then they
built it up again for Chip Kelly. Chip Kelly, well
look at this, the offensive coordinator of the Raider, right,
So book your tickets. Where will they go? Pierce? I
don't know. North Ridge, Calou occ Ucla is more of
(23:46):
a value pointed. You know, USC is the one that
goes down. I mean Ucla has always been more value.
You could be right, Matt oh climate, Well there's Irvine.
But don't the Raiders go to Irvine? Or is that done?
Speaker 6 (23:59):
That's all Raiders are not going back to Coasta Mesa.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
They're going to Napa.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Where will the UCLA Bruins go? Millican High School, Londale
High right off the four oh five, next to the coliseum.
It's a joke, idiots.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Well think about it. They're gonna want to pay for
a bunch of hotels. When they went to cal State
San Bernardino. They probably did a deal with them to
stay in the dorms.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
And well, yeah, that's why you stay in a school. Yeah,
so you can stay on the dorms, I.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Say, cal Lou I said, they take the last train
to San Fernando and hit up Pierce.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I like that call.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
I'm not even near.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
You don't even know the valley, Petros Pierce on the
west side of the valley. So what you know, what's
closer to San Fernando Mission College?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, never never heard of it.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
In Silmar, San Fernando.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
That's the valley's hat.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I'd go to Si Ritos.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Do you guys remember Silmar camp twenty twenty five. It
was the sweetest kip. So good luck to the Bronze.
You're not gonna have all those hot chicks in Westwood,
those cool Asian chicks to hang out with during camp Fellas,
You're gonna be with some townies out of.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
The valley somewhere dirty, pretty awesome.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Look at this Mission College, Silmar. That's a real place.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
You think I was lying?
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Yeah, Kate Snows's Valley. I don't believe you top by
all of you, which is the hey you thought that
basy beIN.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
You thought.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
The Saints maybe they could stay at the looney bin
home of the Saints build the fields out in Camarill.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
There's no dorms at Mission College. It's a jac It's
like Pierce Valley, Glendale.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Our players are having horrible nightmares from staying at the
mental hospital, like Camreal. They've been very aggressive. They love
shopping to be very aggressive on the field, very aggressive,
a lot of violands, a lot of hustle on the floor.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Okay, we'll be right back with Joe Hortiz GM of
the chart, Petro saying, Monday AM five seventy LA Sports
Live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. One team is out, Can
one team continue?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Tonight?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Clippers Nuggets elimination game at the Intuit Dome Inglewood in
the shadow of Sofi Stadium, tip off at seven pm
out of Ausland, with pregame at six p m. I
think the Clippers could do it, but they're in the
shadow of Sofi Stadium.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
P I can't believe you're putting them on the same level.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Man, Well, I'm putting them on the same street. Both there,
you know, both accessible on prairie.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
You can't rebuild an airplane while it's in the air.
This man rebuilds his plane in the hangar. And he
is a builder, knows how to build an NFL football team.
And that's hard, real hard.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
It's just hard.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Takes a thousand pundits to twist themselves into a pretzel
to say nothing for hours and hours difficult. It's just
joining us now. The last time he was on our show,
we were live at the BJS and Torrents in the
shadow of the de Lamo Mall made famous by the
great film Jackie Brown. He's an Angelino now and he's
(27:23):
building the Chargers into a formidable force in the West.
On your Southern California Toyota Dealer celebrity hotline. It is
down to earth but very complicated, thinker, Joe Hortiz Chargers GM.
What's cracking Joe, Welcome to the show, and congrats on
(27:44):
another draft.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
I appreciate what an intro. I'll tell you what you
know that's that's the hell of it. Appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
I'm warming up, you know, I'm here, out there and
else gone here. The follow up question you're really going
to get you starting to feel it.
Speaker 7 (27:58):
I learned something about ye know, Jackie Brown, great movie,
learned it? You know that that's time I go back
there sending the food corn.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Differently, yeah, sending a food cort with a bag full
of money and exchange it. But overall, when the draft
is over, for guys like you, how how much of
an exhale is there? I mean, I know how much well,
I don't know, but we can only imagine how much
work goes into it. Is there a time to sort
of sit back and look at it, or what's the
(28:28):
next step? Do you still have to hustle every day?
It seems like a big undertaking.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
Yeah, you know, I think that the night after when
the draft ends, you get free agency, you know, post
draft free agency, all the agree to terms with all
the players, and then you go home and you just
kind of exhale. That's when you do it, and uh,
you know, it's it's a little like, you know, it's
just kind of quiet. It's like, okay, now what you know?
(28:55):
And but now what is all right on the on
the OTAs and on the ball school and you know,
the next wave and it's really it's really like, okay,
the real start to the new year. And so you know,
wait a couple of weeks, get the rookies out here,
unwrap our Christmas gifts and uh and see what they're
see what they're all about.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
You're going to get a gift at every one of
your picks. You know there's going to be a player
there when you're up to select. But kind of if
you don't mind share with us, what what's it like
in the room. And I'm sure there's multiple players. You
really like it at whatever pick you're making, But when
someone shows up, I know, I think you said unanimous
was the word you lose? You used for for Marion Hampton.
When something like that happens and you're sitting there and
(29:38):
it's two picks away, one pick away, kind of what
is the atmosphere like in that room, in that war room.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
Yeah, it's it's it's cool, like you know, And sometimes
you find out different ways, you know, you know, the
league announces the tick's been made, chargers are on the clock,
and you're staring at the computer waiting to see who
the Steelers took, you know, and you see who it is,
and it's like, all right, we got him and uh.
And then other other times I may know the team.
(30:05):
I may know someone really close who's right in front
of us, and I'll be on the phone with him,
and you know, I'll talk to him, what do you got,
you guys picking? Yeah, we're picking. Okay, who you take?
And then they literally wait, they're trying to get the
kid on the phone. Once to get him on the phone,
they tell me, and awesome, thanks, and I hang up
and I can tell the room, you know, hey, we're
(30:25):
getting Trey Harris. You know, they're taking somebody out, you know.
So there's there's that excitement whatever the player when you
see a player getting THEA and you have your list
one through you know, two hundred, you rank them all
and first round you have you have the guy stacked
and it's like, there's you know, Amarians up there, and Okay,
(30:45):
if he gets by these two teams, I think we
have a real good shot to get them, you know.
And so there's a there's an anticipation certainly, and excitement
when they when they do faulty. But you're also in
the back of your head you're like, okay, if not him, him,
you know, if not him him, And so you're prepared,
like I always say, we have to be prepared to
be disappointed right before we pick. And as long as
(31:07):
we're prepared to be disappointed right before we pick, we're
going to be good with whoever we pick next. You know. Yeah,
I've had I've had I've been a part of a
draft room when the pocket has been picked and uh,
you know, and we end up drafting a Hall of Famer,
you know, as he knew some draft of a Hall
of Famer. So when a guy we were waiting on
(31:28):
got picked right before us and bammed, you know, we
took a Hall of Famer instead. So that worked out
pretty good. So you know, you know, sometimes sometimes they
get you know, the league put you into the best
decision you could possibly make.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Yeah, I was pickpocket in Brazil, but I met my
future wife at the police station. I get it. You
get Actually that's not true. But you know you got
to protect your neck in Brazil. I heard I've never
been You guys have fun, Joe. When you draft a
running back so high and he's a big, beautiful back
like that, you know, you know he's going to be
patient and be able to run the run plays probably
(32:05):
right away, right, because that's just kind of the way
it is. How how long does it usually take for
a guy to figure out the other stuff? You know,
Ladani and Thomlinson didn't catch the ball that much in college.
He became a great receiver at the next level, and
and blitz pick up is a whole other world. How
long does that take to bring a young guy along?
Speaker 7 (32:26):
Yeah, I think for different players it takes. You know,
it depends on the player, really. You know, with rookies,
you want to get him in and hey, that's that's
using what of he's he's great at right now? And
then and build him as you go. Now, the great
thing with omar in Is. He's a player that when
you watch him, you feel you feel like he can
do the pass protection. And you certainly see thirty nine
(32:46):
catches this past year and I think twenty nine the
year before, so he's had he's had volume of receptions
that you know, it's pretty good. It's pretty significant for
college running back, and so you feel.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
That's a lot. You know, that's a big number, you
know when what you have in my career, Yeah, catches
four There we go, four four there you go. So
one of them I should it was one of them
was a dirted screen and I wouldn't let it go.
I was it might have been a five yard loss,
but I needed that stack.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
But you were catching it and I love it.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Joe, you mentioned Trey Harris, and as you build out
a wide receiver room, obviously you hit, you know, the
jackpot last year with Ladd in the second round. Here's
your second consecutive second round selection. That's a receiver. Kind
of walk us through, you know, how you draft a
receiver when you have receivers on your roster like Lad,
you bring Mike Williams back, Quintin's there, and how that
goes into the process. Of deciding kind of which pass
(33:42):
catcher you're going to take.
Speaker 7 (33:44):
Yeah, you know again I've said it before. All receivers
are created different and there's different shapes and sizes of them,
and you just you have to put them in a stack.
And we try to evaluate the receivers just like we
try to evaluate every other position. Tackles versus guards. Guards
were OUs centers. You know, put the best the best
player regards of of if he's a slot or an
(34:07):
outside guy or you know whatever, if he's a burner
or if he's a possession receiver, that's just who is
the most valuable. So we we stacked him that way,
who's the best players? And uh, And with Trey's case,
we felt like he was a player that come in
and really just adds to the room. And he's big,
he's athletic, competitive, physical player, can run and just just
(34:29):
love everything he offers. And he was a guy that
we felt was, you know, in our stack and our
rake and our rankings, was a player who was definitely
worthy of being gone. And certainly one of those situations
are like, okay, be prepared, like I said, be prepared
to be disappointed. But if he's there, we'll be fired
up and and and he made it to us, and
(34:50):
again the room was very excited to turn his name in.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I would love the two players at once here, Joe,
because is the Chargers content team always does a bang
up job there through social media or YouTube, whatever it
may be. Past they're doing the cut ups and what
and what do we see here? On the Petros and
Money show. We see the cutups of Jamari Caldwell, and
there's Petros analyze and some Houston reps of Jamari Caldwell.
And then they put out the Rondez gads in the
(35:15):
second tight end cutups and there's Petros again analyzed on
the kind of take take some players from some obscure places.
That's what it tells me, Joe, kind of what went
into those two picks there, because it seemed like a
lot of people look really excited about Caldwell.
Speaker 7 (35:32):
Yeah. Well, just Jamar is a unique player in the
sense that when you watch him in Houston, he does
you know, he had the pass rush, he had some
pass rush production. Then you watch them in Oregon and
he's a dominant run stuffer and uh, it's just a
big athletic man. I mean, for a guy his size
to have the foot quickness. He has the ability to
run a five I think it was a five one
two forty, which is moving and then you just see that,
(35:55):
you see the ability to step, you know, step through,
step through blocks and you know, tear off and stack.
And I said it, you know on Friday when we
drafted him play square versus run, good pad level to
see him chuck players off as a run defender, but
a very a very deceptive athlete who we think has
potential to help us on all three downs.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
The go ahead, Sorry, Joe, I forgot it.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
Rond all right, and Ronde just again. You know, blood lines,
blood lines. You know, he grew up his father's a
pro and he knows what it takes to be a
pro former wide receiver who has gotten bigger and really
just turned himself into a nice young developmental tight end
in improved blocking throughout the year improved. You know, he
(36:43):
came came off of a foot injury the year before
and you just saw him get better and better and
better throughout the year. But the thing you love about
him is that vertical presence up the middle of the field,
you know, dangerous on over routes. You know, pulling across
the field and pulling away from guys and then excellent,
really excellent job of catching, making those contested catches and
(37:04):
going unafraid to go up in traffic and extend himself
and make it, make a hit and hold on, or
make a catch and take a hit and hold on.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Just in terms of the overall and and how these
players fit in a lot of times comes down to
circumstance and coaching and and you pretty much have your
entire coaching staff back. You lost your safeties coach, Crystal O'Leary.
You're bringing Adam Fuller outside of that, that's it. How
big of a difference is that to be able to
keep an entire coaching staff who did a heck of
(37:32):
a job last year developing players and getting guys to
play at a high level. What kind of impact can
that have? Being able to have that consistency.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
I think it's great. It's continuity. Continuities is a great
thing with coaching staff, scouting staffs, organizations as a whole.
You know, we all start speaking the same langue. We
understand the processes, we understand coaching styles, you know, and
the types of players each specific coach once for his position,
but also the types of players that fit what we
(38:02):
do as a defense and an offense. So having having
continuity is key. I think it's it's how you build. Uh,
it's part one of the ways you build consistent winners.
And so it's great to have everyone back. And certainly
there's going to come a day where we're gonna lose
some guys for opportunity, but you know, you know right now,
we haven't. And uh, but the good thing is we
(38:22):
know what types of coaches we want to replace him with.
And I think you see that with Adam, you know,
UH had an opportunity to hire a great coach and uh.
And you know, when we lost Chris, who he himself
is a great coach, and uh, you know, you know,
disappointing losing him because I really enjoyed working with him
for a year, but then getting a chance to meet
and interview Adam and and Jesse spending time with him,
(38:44):
and you knew he was going to fit right in.
And we're not. We're not gonna be We're not gonna
miss beat, you know, stay right and stay right in stride.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
What about the difference of a year, a new franchise,
a new coach, a new facility, a new everything. I
mean that is that's an adjustment, There's no doubt. I
don't know if it's it holds you back at all,
But how much more comfortable does it feel a year
in and kind of knowing the lay of the land.
Speaker 7 (39:11):
Yeah, you know, I certainly don't think it held us back.
I think, you know, Jim and I we got here
and we just said, let's go attack this thing, and
and we work together, work great together, and just everything,
you know, everything we do together. And he includes me
during the season, and I include in in the off season,
and his entire staff, and it's it's a really inclusive
(39:34):
process where everyone's I want to hear everyone's opinion. I
want to get all the information. I want the scouts
to share their opinions in front of the coaches, and
the coaches to share their opinions in front of scouts.
And we're going to make the best decisions. And you know,
everything we've done since I showed up in coach Ta
Mesa and on February first, I feel like everything Dean
and John and ag have done has made this organization better.
(39:57):
He's the new facility, you know, visions we make and
travel you know, everything. You know, it's all geared to
making it as great as it can be. And we're
just gonna keep getting better every day. That's all.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
And off the field, last thing for you, Joe, it's
been a year since you've been here.
Speaker 7 (40:12):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
How is how is young Jack faring at Saint John Bosco?
We love the high school sports? How are the Braves?
How's the baseball squad this year?
Speaker 7 (40:21):
I'll tell you what they're They're They're doing good. The
varsity team is doing awesome. And Jackson Jack's been playing,
he's he's he's uh working through an arm, uh, an arm,
you know, injury, so he's his pitching has been put
on hold, but he's he's able to play the field
on the jv squad and having a great time with
that group. And uh and the varsity squad, Man, they
(40:42):
look they look legit. So I'm anxious to see how
they do in the postseason. Uh, you know, wish them
all the best. It's fun watching them. A great, great
group of players and great coaches. So uh looking forward
to seeing them and uh in the postseason. And but
the boys are all doing good. Jamie and Julian are
my younger to vaclimated well. And of course my oldest one,
Joey is still back in Maryland finishing up his senior
(41:05):
year and he's got his own playoff squad. Hopefully in
the playoffs they can make her run in baseball back
in Maryland. So all the boys are doing good. My
wife's hanging in there. Uh, she seems to. She seems
she's surviving every day, you know, yeah, for boys and
me and the halse. She wakes up every day and
hopes for a draw because she knows she's not gonna win,
but she's just hoping she doesn't get knocked out, you know. So,
(41:28):
but she does a great job keeping us all together.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
You know. Well, you guys are getting well acquainted with
the one oh five freeway.
Speaker 7 (41:35):
Oh yeah, that is probably the biggest negative that Jack
go into Bosco is you know, if he went local here,
he'd be it, you know, a mile from the house. Instead,
I gotta get you know, if I go catch him
playing the game, it takes me about an hour to
get there.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
So if you want to fear the spear, you know. Yeah,
we love you Joe, and uh we're glad everything's going great.
Congrats on another fine draft and we'll talk to you soon.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Wait, the call is, the sentiment is for us.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
What's most important is that it's Asian American Pacific Islander Month.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I think we should maybe well, I'm just I don't know,
but out here, be out it's not Asian American Pacific
Islander Day.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
It's a month.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So let's just kind of like taper it off. Yeah,
like we've got It's day.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You're saying that I'm paying, I'm playing my whole roster,
my whole just a five guy. In the second half,
you say I'm being inexperienced. Let's you say I'm an
inexperienced Asian and Pacific islander.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying, Asian American Pacific islander.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Like you hear that and it still sounds soothing to
the naked ear. But we play that too much. Yeah,
we got thirty days left. I guess grating is the word.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
But this, heyde, what if I settle on that island
of trash in the middle of the Pacific? Am I in?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yees?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Do it? And then plenty in part we're gonna enjoy
the in park and then we'll move on.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Okay, Calander Latino, Hispanic Roman Latino. Well the place in
this world, we all place in this world.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Happy Asian American Pacific Islander month. I promise not to
mention it for the rest of the show. I promise.
Matt's right, it's a month and a month. But we
got a lot of flex shows next week. I know.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
We got to show tomorrow, show Monday, Thursday, went to
show like I know, but their shows.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Should I get an Asian American or Pacific Islander on
the show?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Everything happened naturally? Okay, we're got with Greg Biggins. It's
a good one.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah, I get Biggie.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Get Biggie what he's Asian?
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Yeah, Well, maybe Tommy Edmund can come on this.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Jim Kwa, Tommy Dodger, Tommy Edmond is my favorite player.
That's my new proclamation. Take that to the bank. Put
it in.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Wikipedia Yamamoto, Should I warn Toss my favorite player.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Well, we can talk to Yamamoto, but it's gonna need
a translator.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh, he's doing pretty good.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Hey, I'm a mote. How's your scroll?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It's good? All right, It's time for the word of
the day.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
His words the word of the day, Matt. I was
there last night where at the gala, the third annual yep,
the third Annual Beach Life Gala in Redondo Beach, Rick
Springfield played you know, beach Life the festival in Redondo
(04:34):
Beach tomorrow. Not the size of Stagecoach or Coachella, smaller
in size, but very intimate and quite popular.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Well and I don't have to drive to the desert.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Very popular in the South Bay and deeply accessible and
well run. And I happen to have gone to high
school with the founder of Beach Life and have worked
in and around it for some years now. It's connected
to iHeartMedia the last couple of years which our friend's
booker and striker and them will be out there nice
(05:04):
over the weekend. Last night at the gala in Rinondo Beach,
Rick Springfield played.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Good looking guy, good looking guy, very charming out hits.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
And you know, Matt, it's beach life season in the
South Bay kind of now, it's like kind of like Christmas.
You know, everybody starts thinking about it. Everybody gets their
nineties hard ass on. When Sublime comes on on Saturday,
Papa Cap and Sancho and slap her down.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
What I really want to know?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Anyway, last night I got to say, I'm not really
impressed by anything. Oh I was impressed by the Intuit Dome.
But what they've done with the California Surf Club, which
is open now to members, and I think the restaurant
will be opening soon to everybody. But the California Surf Club,
which is part of kind of the beach life thing,
(05:57):
and it's like the old Chillers if you remember down
in King Harbor near Moose mcgillicuddy's adjacent and the old
Rubies connected into this giant surf club. And the attention
to detail and the bars and the pictures on the
wall and the fireplaces and just the way everything's placed
and just the sprawl is really impressive. The guy that
(06:22):
I went to high school with, Alan Sandford, designed it,
and man it is great. So if you're over there
at beach life, check it out. I'll be there to
see the Beach Boys, I think on Sunday, and to
do some stuff for Toyota because they are a sponsor.
And I'm gonna try to get a whiff a big
head Tod in the Monster's Maps. But when Sublime comes on,
(06:45):
everybody gets that nineties hard ass going again. You know
what I mean. It's like all these fifty year olds.
Well the last time they did, but you know that
time it was Sublime with Rome. This time it's Sublime
with Bradley Knowle's Seed. So we'll see, yes, Kates.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Well, I mean this look no further than Stage Coach.
Last weekend, right, Creed was playing the Goo Goo Dolls?
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Were there?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Nelly Nelly? Is that right?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
My son asked me to see white people like in
all of that though.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
My son, who is white yes and twelve, asked me
on the way to school this morning to play Hey
must have been a money And I was like, it's
the matter with you? He was like, oh, I freaked
out when this came on. It's stage Coach, yeah, And.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I was like, you ool, why she's discovering new music
that his father won't expose him to.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
You know why Nelly wished that bandid his brother was
in jail.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Spend your schook at the cover of this album.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
He's right by the Saint Newis arch.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I remember when I was at USC Walkinge de la class,
walking by the Shrine auditorium. But there must have been
like a Nelly show or stuff, because I was like, right
when he was getting popular and his his impala or
whatever which was painted up like the Saint Louis ran
with the ram horns in it, because there was like
Kurt Warner and all that, and I was like, that
(08:05):
must be Nelly's he man may don joy Man. No,
let my friend. Now we had a deaf guy on
the team, uh, but most like Nelly. Yeah, he's from
Saint Louis and we didn't have Nelly, and we never
(08:26):
heard Nelly. No one had never heard Nelly. He had
the Nelly tapes, the mixtapes, and he was waker. Then
he would dance with his ghetto blaster and put on
like of like almost like a like a Third Street
promenade Santa Monica thing, like a sideshow, and we just
sit around and watch this mostly deaf guy who's a
linebacker from a JC and Saint Louis dance around. His
(08:48):
name was John Cousins, and he been let me in,
no let me and you know man hit her song
and Harry wrong, let me in, Let Mama, I'm the mama.
And then in that camp and he would dance Matt
like Marathon, but sweat and dance. He'd keep going, not
(09:11):
like you do a couple moves and he sit down
and laugh with your friends. He'd keep going and like
freshman be walking by and he'd dance up on him.
And then unfortunately he was walking with his ghetto blaster
at camp at uc Irvine, with the ghetto blaster on
his shoulder like the dude from Bad Boys, right, and
he's deaf, and he was hit by a car. Oh uh, wasjured,
(09:34):
was not injured, but you know, did get up and
continue to dance, but takes away half your peripher John
John Cousins a great teammate at the University of Southern California,
one of my favorites, and he introduced all of us
Matt long before the CD came out Country Grammar. He
introduced us to Nelly John j C. There was one
(09:57):
moment in camp that first camp when we're wretching, you know,
and you know how the routine now and Paul Hackett,
you know, blows the horn. He's like, everybody, come in,
come in, the team coming. It's like, well, I want
to I want to talk to us right now, you know.
And we go in there and he goes, has anyone
seen John Cousins? What do you mean? They were like,
he was in the house where we left, in our dorm.
(10:18):
They were like, guys, he's daf Like the alarm is
not You've got to wake him up. And uh. In
the middle of the conversation, John Cousins comes running out,
full full path like, well, I love you JC. It's
time for the word of the day.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Here's my number number next to dead and the line
guy birth day of the day. The number of the
day is uh four twenty five for slash twenty five.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Let's had a date.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
That's a date April twenty twenty five. I routinely, because
I have children that milk my teats for every last
cent that I make, and most of it goes to
streaming services. Just countless numbers of streaming services.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I do have one I do. I do allow myself
one streaming service that is only for me in the house.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Oh is that right, brit Box there you go. Oh okay,
I thought you were gonna say Bangbros. Or something like that.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well, no, if that was the case, i'd have to
pay Dave Magdaleno cash on the side because I wouldn't
want the on your credit card, right, And he's not
here anymore, so there's no one for me to pay
cash on the side to for porn.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
But my kids wear me out, like they wear me
out because they can't watch one of them simultaneously on
X number of devices and they're getting boxed out by wallah.
So now I got to pay the premium for that one.
And then it's like seriously, like we're really doing Hulu
with ads? Like where do you know how annoying this is?
(11:52):
And I'm like, well, I'm sick. I don't want to
pay him eight bucks for no ads and I still
get ads. Well yeah, but it's like it's not as
distract and and so.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
That's all the streaming service thing used to be, like
you pay for this and there's no app, right, and
now like look what they're doing to us exactly you
know why. It's because they're broke, and the streaming services
don't work.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
That's right, Matt.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Try watching a Handmaid's Tale with commercial.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
OK, That's what I did. That's how I get cased.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I love the sake, I love the sacred ceremony.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
So finally, yesterday I had it. I had enough. I
had enough, and I made the call. I made the
call to cancel.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I don't want to say in case we have to
endorse them down the road. So I'm going to say
I want because then I'll talk about how great they are.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
You executed somebody.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
When I signed up for this streaming service, I was
so excited because it was seventy dollars a month and
I had been paying one hundred and ninety five dollars
a month for my television service. So I find stream
I'm early on the stream front and seventy and since
then it made its way. No new channels, no new technology,
(12:57):
exact same thing I signed up for had reached one
hundred and forty four bucks a month, and I'm like,
this is asinine, this is do you understand You have
not added a single channel, nothing's changed. It's the same
service I signed up for four years ago, and you've
more than doubled the cost. And they're like, well, you
(13:18):
know we can, and so I said, I'm like.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I can't start cancel everything and stare off. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
See, So I said, you know what i'd like to
I said, I go, I'm done. I'm canceling. I said, well, okay,
if you must cancel, your service will end on May
thirty first. I said May thirty first, No, it'll end today,
April thirtieth. I'm calling you before May first. Well, the
billing cycle technically starts when you're notified. I said, I
(13:43):
don't get notified. It's auto pay. Well, the billing cycle
technically starts on April twenty ninth, so you do have
service through me. I said, that's not how it works.
I'm looking at my credit card statement and you charge
me on the second of every month, so I have
not been charged.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
You know, usually in these situations, if you down Warren
Crime in the moment, they'll buckle, and they'll buckle like
JJ Raddick in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
They were not buckling though, they were just like, yeah,
we got your money.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
They stoned you in the A gap and then they
stoned you at the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
So then they say there's nothing we can do. The
bill has already been completed, and I'm I finally had
enough after being on them.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Who I think it's Disney Plus?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
So I hang up. I'm frustrated. I've been on the
phone for forty minutes. I get a call. Five minutes later,
I get a call mister Smith. Yes, this is so
and from so As. I said, yes, your card on
file has expired. We are not able to charge you
(14:46):
for the service. Would you like to update your card
or else your service will be interrupted immediately? I said,
is that right?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
What's what?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
What card is the fount? Well, the expiration date is
four twenty five. We're going to charge you on a
second and if we can't, we're gonna have to interrupt
your service. And I would have said, just serendipity that
this person decides to call me to tell me I
need to update my card from my streaming service.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Do you think they might send you to collections for
that last month?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I already paid for it. They wanted to charge me
for the month of May that they said I had
to wear till the third church.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
They'll send you collections for the month of May.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You know what they're gonna get back.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I screwed.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
That's what I'm gonna give them back if they do that. Victory.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Hey, I'm a mote.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
What's your screw for the little guy? For the little guy?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Way to go, Matt. Finally you scurried away from that
that that streaming service.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
You'd like to update your cards? Oh no, Matt, No,
I would not like to update my and then my
my service was off five minutes.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
We talked to that guy like that on Asian American
Pacific Islanders.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Mom said, that's what he said to me. I said, no,
I would not like to update my card. Your service
will be interrupted immediately. And I said, that's fine. Interrupted.
I don't care.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I think that they're not done with you, Matt. I
think they're gonna send you to collections.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I'll send them to collections.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
You're on my list.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
So what are you gonna do now?
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Man?
Speaker 6 (16:03):
How are you gonna watch things?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I purchased a different streaming service for half the price,
and I feel a lot better about myself. And my
phone's been blowing up from my children. What's the password?
I can't get into Max? What's going on? Why can't
I get it? At tastey? Why can't I get that
because it was all tied into this one service. And
I'm like, I'll figure out when I get home.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
You know what you should change to? Just go full
two B tell them their stock washing it. You're watching
the Rockford Files forever exactly right should be and roku,
that's what you did. Period.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
Today's song of the day is called the Heart of
Gold off the nineteen seventy two album titled Harvest from
Neil Young. A crunchy groove for a Thursday afternoon where
the Petros and Money Show will go with three hours
of great sports talk as we prepare for Game six
of Clippers playoff basket ball it into a dome who
will have to show a lot of heart. They want
(17:03):
to come back for that gold against the Nuggets in
a Game seven, and our friend Adam Oslin will be
eager to bring you that highly anticipated Clippers countdown show
at six o'clock.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Hey, they made it further than the Lakers, no matter what,
exactly right? You know? I have found something interesting out
about this song the other day. Seriously about this Heart
of Gold by Neil Young. A lot of people hate
Neil Young, love Neil Young. I mean like a lot
of music people like George Harrison hated Neil Young. Like
a lot of they just couldn't say yeah, well that
and then just like the voice or whatever. But this
(17:35):
was the most the most interesting thing I thought was this.
Bob Dylan was offended by this song deeply because he
thought that Neil Young in writing this song, because he
thought that, look, this is exactly the type of song
I would write. This is authentically me, and he is
(17:57):
he is duplicating my genius to make fun of me.
Like he thought this, he took this song. And it's
very rare that Bob Dylan would ever say anything about
another artist song or anything, especially critically. But Dylan said
that that Neil Young, he took this song that Neil
Young did as a personal affront to him because it
(18:20):
was something that he would write how he would write it,
and he didn't think Neil Young should have done that.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
And Neil Young was just like, hey, Neil Young, look
I can do this in my sleep.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Eh sure, Neil, go snort another line of cokee, Neil,
this notes for you. You know, cable TV used to
be that model too, Matt, that you didn't have to
watch commercials. Yeah, yeah, and then Live Sports came in
and it all changed exactly right, all they ever do.
We weren't even supposed to pay taxes. Yeah, no state tax,
(18:58):
and all of a sudden, Hey, let's just say, hey,
let's do property text. Hey, let's add this.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Hey, let's add that.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I want to be free.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
They ever taken away? No exactly, I never subtracted away. Hey,
just add more and says in milk or teeds. Right
a few meal, We'll be right back. Keep me searching,
keep me searching.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Smart business, Matt, Pretty smart guy, Matt. And your credit
card is uh expired? You got one up on those guys.
I did tell you. Those guys are sitting there at
their call center right now, just confused, looking at each
each other, like damn, how did that happen? Were you
gonna talk to Joe Hortiz next?
Speaker 2 (20:06):

He's very knowledgeable on the things that you come up
with as far as for with your knowledge.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
All right, are we allowed to ride off our streaming services?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Miss?
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Oh? Okay?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
How we watch our sports? I'm gonna tell my wife that. Yeah, Matt,
big news. Now, this is an old song called Last
Train to San Fernando. I know that San Fernando and
San Bernardino are two different places. Deshaun Foster, the head
(21:41):
coach of the UCLA Bruins, who as you know, are
in La said U C l A. Well, once again,
the if and.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Road they're doing it, yes, the boot camp training, well, no,
we don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
In twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen, ending in twenty seventeen,
our friend of the multiple offensive formations, our friend who
had two handfuls of Jeff Ulbrick's face when he was
his decordinator at UCLA. Jim Mora one decade ago the
(22:24):
Petrosen Money Show, pulled out our bucket, our soapy water,
it was a good time, and our shammi and washed
up Mora's balls, telling him how great it was that
he was going out to San Burdu and doing camp
off campus and frying his football team, forging.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Them in the hot, hot Inland Empire Son.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
And they stopped doing it in twenty seventeen because they
built that beautiful practice facility, right, Kates, they built that
beautiful one.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yeah. With the parking struggle, oh okay, well something to
be happy about. Yeah, for sure, Deshaun Foster is going
to have to take UCLA off campus this fall because
a new grass field we're being installed outside the new
field that they built for Chip Kelly, the Wasserman Center.
(23:19):
You know, they built it up for Jim Mora, and
it was supposed to be so great, and then they
built it up again for Chip Kelly. Chip Kelly, well
look at this, the offensive coordinator of the Raider, right,
So book your tickets. Where will they go? Pierce? I
don't know. North Ridge, Calou occ Ucla is more of
(23:46):
a value pointed. You know, USC is the one that
goes down. I mean Ucla has always been more value.
You could be right, Matt oh climate, Well there's Irvine.
But don't the Raiders go to Irvine? Or is that done?
Speaker 6 (23:59):
That's all Raiders are not going back to Coasta Mesa.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
They're going to Napa.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Where will the UCLA Bruins go? Millican High School, Londale
High right off the four oh five, next to the coliseum.
It's a joke, idiots.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Well think about it. They're gonna want to pay for
a bunch of hotels. When they went to cal State
San Bernardino. They probably did a deal with them to
stay in the dorms.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
And well, yeah, that's why you stay in a school. Yeah,
so you can stay on the dorms, I.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Say, cal Lou I said, they take the last train
to San Fernando and hit up Pierce.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I like that call.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
I'm not even near.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
You don't even know the valley, Petros Pierce on the
west side of the valley. So what you know, what's
closer to San Fernando Mission College?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, never never heard of it.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
In Silmar, San Fernando.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
That's the valley's hat.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I'd go to Si Ritos.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Do you guys remember Silmar camp twenty twenty five. It
was the sweetest kip. So good luck to the Bronze.
You're not gonna have all those hot chicks in Westwood,
those cool Asian chicks to hang out with during camp Fellas,
You're gonna be with some townies out of.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
The valley somewhere dirty, pretty awesome.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Look at this Mission College, Silmar. That's a real place.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
You think I was lying?
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Yeah, Kate Snows's Valley. I don't believe you top by
all of you, which is the hey you thought that
basy beIN.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
You thought.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
The Saints maybe they could stay at the looney bin
home of the Saints build the fields out in Camarill.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
There's no dorms at Mission College. It's a jac It's
like Pierce Valley, Glendale.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Our players are having horrible nightmares from staying at the
mental hospital, like Camreal. They've been very aggressive. They love
shopping to be very aggressive on the field, very aggressive,
a lot of violands, a lot of hustle on the floor.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Okay, we'll be right back with Joe Hortiz GM of
the chart, Petro saying, Monday AM five seventy LA Sports
Live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. One team is out, Can
one team continue?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Tonight?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Clippers Nuggets elimination game at the Intuit Dome Inglewood in
the shadow of Sofi Stadium, tip off at seven pm
out of Ausland, with pregame at six p m. I
think the Clippers could do it, but they're in the
shadow of Sofi Stadium.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
P I can't believe you're putting them on the same level.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Man, Well, I'm putting them on the same street. Both there,
you know, both accessible on prairie.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
You can't rebuild an airplane while it's in the air.
This man rebuilds his plane in the hangar. And he
is a builder, knows how to build an NFL football team.
And that's hard, real hard.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
It's just hard.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Takes a thousand pundits to twist themselves into a pretzel
to say nothing for hours and hours difficult. It's just
joining us now. The last time he was on our show,
we were live at the BJS and Torrents in the
shadow of the de Lamo Mall made famous by the
great film Jackie Brown. He's an Angelino now and he's
(27:23):
building the Chargers into a formidable force in the West.
On your Southern California Toyota Dealer celebrity hotline. It is
down to earth but very complicated, thinker, Joe Hortiz Chargers GM.
What's cracking Joe, Welcome to the show, and congrats on
(27:44):
another draft.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
I appreciate what an intro. I'll tell you what you
know that's that's the hell of it. Appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
I'm warming up, you know, I'm here, out there and
else gone here. The follow up question you're really going
to get you starting to feel it.
Speaker 7 (27:58):
I learned something about ye know, Jackie Brown, great movie,
learned it? You know that that's time I go back
there sending the food corn.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Differently, yeah, sending a food cort with a bag full
of money and exchange it. But overall, when the draft
is over, for guys like you, how how much of
an exhale is there? I mean, I know how much well,
I don't know, but we can only imagine how much
work goes into it. Is there a time to sort
of sit back and look at it, or what's the
(28:28):
next step? Do you still have to hustle every day?
It seems like a big undertaking.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
Yeah, you know, I think that the night after when
the draft ends, you get free agency, you know, post
draft free agency, all the agree to terms with all
the players, and then you go home and you just
kind of exhale. That's when you do it, and uh,
you know, it's it's a little like, you know, it's
just kind of quiet. It's like, okay, now what you know?
(28:55):
And but now what is all right on the on
the OTAs and on the ball school and you know,
the next wave and it's really it's really like, okay,
the real start to the new year. And so you know,
wait a couple of weeks, get the rookies out here,
unwrap our Christmas gifts and uh and see what they're
see what they're all about.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
You're going to get a gift at every one of
your picks. You know there's going to be a player
there when you're up to select. But kind of if
you don't mind share with us, what what's it like
in the room. And I'm sure there's multiple players. You
really like it at whatever pick you're making, But when
someone shows up, I know, I think you said unanimous
was the word you lose? You used for for Marion Hampton.
When something like that happens and you're sitting there and
(29:38):
it's two picks away, one pick away, kind of what
is the atmosphere like in that room, in that war room.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
Yeah, it's it's it's cool, like you know, And sometimes
you find out different ways, you know, you know, the
league announces the tick's been made, chargers are on the clock,
and you're staring at the computer waiting to see who
the Steelers took, you know, and you see who it is,
and it's like, all right, we got him and uh.
And then other other times I may know the team.
(30:05):
I may know someone really close who's right in front
of us, and I'll be on the phone with him,
and you know, I'll talk to him, what do you got,
you guys picking? Yeah, we're picking. Okay, who you take?
And then they literally wait, they're trying to get the
kid on the phone. Once to get him on the phone,
they tell me, and awesome, thanks, and I hang up
and I can tell the room, you know, hey, we're
(30:25):
getting Trey Harris. You know, they're taking somebody out, you know.
So there's there's that excitement whatever the player when you
see a player getting THEA and you have your list
one through you know, two hundred, you rank them all
and first round you have you have the guy stacked
and it's like, there's you know, Amarians up there, and Okay,
(30:45):
if he gets by these two teams, I think we
have a real good shot to get them, you know.
And so there's a there's an anticipation certainly, and excitement
when they when they do faulty. But you're also in
the back of your head you're like, okay, if not him, him,
you know, if not him him, And so you're prepared,
like I always say, we have to be prepared to
be disappointed right before we pick. And as long as
(31:07):
we're prepared to be disappointed right before we pick, we're
going to be good with whoever we pick next. You know. Yeah,
I've had I've had I've been a part of a
draft room when the pocket has been picked and uh,
you know, and we end up drafting a Hall of Famer,
you know, as he knew some draft of a Hall
of Famer. So when a guy we were waiting on
(31:28):
got picked right before us and bammed, you know, we
took a Hall of Famer instead. So that worked out
pretty good. So you know, you know, sometimes sometimes they
get you know, the league put you into the best
decision you could possibly make.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Yeah, I was pickpocket in Brazil, but I met my
future wife at the police station. I get it. You
get Actually that's not true. But you know you got
to protect your neck in Brazil. I heard I've never
been You guys have fun, Joe. When you draft a
running back so high and he's a big, beautiful back
like that, you know, you know he's going to be
patient and be able to run the run plays probably
(32:05):
right away, right, because that's just kind of the way
it is. How how long does it usually take for
a guy to figure out the other stuff? You know,
Ladani and Thomlinson didn't catch the ball that much in college.
He became a great receiver at the next level, and
and blitz pick up is a whole other world. How
long does that take to bring a young guy along?
Speaker 7 (32:26):
Yeah, I think for different players it takes. You know,
it depends on the player, really. You know, with rookies,
you want to get him in and hey, that's that's
using what of he's he's great at right now? And
then and build him as you go. Now, the great
thing with omar in Is. He's a player that when
you watch him, you feel you feel like he can
do the pass protection. And you certainly see thirty nine
(32:46):
catches this past year and I think twenty nine the
year before, so he's had he's had volume of receptions
that you know, it's pretty good. It's pretty significant for
college running back, and so you feel.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
That's a lot. You know, that's a big number, you
know when what you have in my career, Yeah, catches
four There we go, four four there you go. So
one of them I should it was one of them
was a dirted screen and I wouldn't let it go.
I was it might have been a five yard loss,
but I needed that stack.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
But you were catching it and I love it.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Joe, you mentioned Trey Harris, and as you build out
a wide receiver room, obviously you hit, you know, the
jackpot last year with Ladd in the second round. Here's
your second consecutive second round selection. That's a receiver. Kind
of walk us through, you know, how you draft a
receiver when you have receivers on your roster like Lad,
you bring Mike Williams back, Quintin's there, and how that
goes into the process. Of deciding kind of which pass
(33:42):
catcher you're going to take.
Speaker 7 (33:44):
Yeah, you know again I've said it before. All receivers
are created different and there's different shapes and sizes of them,
and you just you have to put them in a stack.
And we try to evaluate the receivers just like we
try to evaluate every other position. Tackles versus guards. Guards
were OUs centers. You know, put the best the best
player regards of of if he's a slot or an
(34:07):
outside guy or you know whatever, if he's a burner
or if he's a possession receiver, that's just who is
the most valuable. So we we stacked him that way,
who's the best players? And uh, And with Trey's case,
we felt like he was a player that come in
and really just adds to the room. And he's big,
he's athletic, competitive, physical player, can run and just just
(34:29):
love everything he offers. And he was a guy that
we felt was, you know, in our stack and our
rake and our rankings, was a player who was definitely
worthy of being gone. And certainly one of those situations
are like, okay, be prepared, like I said, be prepared
to be disappointed. But if he's there, we'll be fired
up and and and he made it to us, and
(34:50):
again the room was very excited to turn his name in.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I would love the two players at once here, Joe,
because is the Chargers content team always does a bang
up job there through social media or YouTube, whatever it
may be. Past they're doing the cut ups and what
and what do we see here? On the Petros and
Money show. We see the cutups of Jamari Caldwell, and
there's Petros analyze and some Houston reps of Jamari Caldwell.
And then they put out the Rondez gads in the
(35:15):
second tight end cutups and there's Petros again analyzed on
the kind of take take some players from some obscure places.
That's what it tells me, Joe, kind of what went
into those two picks there, because it seemed like a
lot of people look really excited about Caldwell.
Speaker 7 (35:32):
Yeah. Well, just Jamar is a unique player in the
sense that when you watch him in Houston, he does
you know, he had the pass rush, he had some
pass rush production. Then you watch them in Oregon and
he's a dominant run stuffer and uh, it's just a
big athletic man. I mean, for a guy his size
to have the foot quickness. He has the ability to
run a five I think it was a five one
two forty, which is moving and then you just see that,
(35:55):
you see the ability to step, you know, step through,
step through blocks and you know, tear off and stack.
And I said it, you know on Friday when we
drafted him play square versus run, good pad level to
see him chuck players off as a run defender, but
a very a very deceptive athlete who we think has
potential to help us on all three downs.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
The go ahead, Sorry, Joe, I forgot it.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
Rond all right, and Ronde just again. You know, blood lines,
blood lines. You know, he grew up his father's a
pro and he knows what it takes to be a
pro former wide receiver who has gotten bigger and really
just turned himself into a nice young developmental tight end
in improved blocking throughout the year improved. You know, he
(36:43):
came came off of a foot injury the year before
and you just saw him get better and better and
better throughout the year. But the thing you love about
him is that vertical presence up the middle of the field,
you know, dangerous on over routes. You know, pulling across
the field and pulling away from guys and then excellent,
really excellent job of catching, making those contested catches and
(37:04):
going unafraid to go up in traffic and extend himself
and make it, make a hit and hold on, or
make a catch and take a hit and hold on.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Just in terms of the overall and and how these
players fit in a lot of times comes down to
circumstance and coaching and and you pretty much have your
entire coaching staff back. You lost your safeties coach, Crystal O'Leary.
You're bringing Adam Fuller outside of that, that's it. How
big of a difference is that to be able to
keep an entire coaching staff who did a heck of
(37:32):
a job last year developing players and getting guys to
play at a high level. What kind of impact can
that have? Being able to have that consistency.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
I think it's great. It's continuity. Continuities is a great
thing with coaching staff, scouting staffs, organizations as a whole.
You know, we all start speaking the same langue. We
understand the processes, we understand coaching styles, you know, and
the types of players each specific coach once for his position,
but also the types of players that fit what we
(38:02):
do as a defense and an offense. So having having
continuity is key. I think it's it's how you build. Uh,
it's part one of the ways you build consistent winners.
And so it's great to have everyone back. And certainly
there's going to come a day where we're gonna lose
some guys for opportunity, but you know, you know right now,
we haven't. And uh, but the good thing is we
(38:22):
know what types of coaches we want to replace him with.
And I think you see that with Adam, you know,
UH had an opportunity to hire a great coach and uh.
And you know, when we lost Chris, who he himself
is a great coach, and uh, you know, you know,
disappointing losing him because I really enjoyed working with him
for a year, but then getting a chance to meet
and interview Adam and and Jesse spending time with him,
(38:44):
and you knew he was going to fit right in.
And we're not. We're not gonna be We're not gonna
miss beat, you know, stay right and stay right in stride.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
What about the difference of a year, a new franchise,
a new coach, a new facility, a new everything. I
mean that is that's an adjustment, There's no doubt. I
don't know if it's it holds you back at all,
But how much more comfortable does it feel a year
in and kind of knowing the lay of the land.
Speaker 7 (39:11):
Yeah, you know, I certainly don't think it held us back.
I think, you know, Jim and I we got here
and we just said, let's go attack this thing, and
and we work together, work great together, and just everything,
you know, everything we do together. And he includes me
during the season, and I include in in the off season,
and his entire staff, and it's it's a really inclusive
(39:34):
process where everyone's I want to hear everyone's opinion. I
want to get all the information. I want the scouts
to share their opinions in front of the coaches, and
the coaches to share their opinions in front of scouts.
And we're going to make the best decisions. And you know,
everything we've done since I showed up in coach Ta
Mesa and on February first, I feel like everything Dean
and John and ag have done has made this organization better.
(39:57):
He's the new facility, you know, visions we make and
travel you know, everything. You know, it's all geared to
making it as great as it can be. And we're
just gonna keep getting better every day. That's all.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
And off the field, last thing for you, Joe, it's
been a year since you've been here.
Speaker 7 (40:12):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
How is how is young Jack faring at Saint John Bosco?
We love the high school sports? How are the Braves?
How's the baseball squad this year?
Speaker 7 (40:21):
I'll tell you what they're They're They're doing good. The
varsity team is doing awesome. And Jackson Jack's been playing,
he's he's he's uh working through an arm, uh, an arm,
you know, injury, so he's his pitching has been put
on hold, but he's he's able to play the field
on the jv squad and having a great time with
that group. And uh and the varsity squad, Man, they
(40:42):
look they look legit. So I'm anxious to see how
they do in the postseason. Uh, you know, wish them
all the best. It's fun watching them. A great, great
group of players and great coaches. So uh looking forward
to seeing them and uh in the postseason. And but
the boys are all doing good. Jamie and Julian are
my younger to vaclimated well. And of course my oldest one,
Joey is still back in Maryland finishing up his senior
(41:05):
year and he's got his own playoff squad. Hopefully in
the playoffs they can make her run in baseball back
in Maryland. So all the boys are doing good. My
wife's hanging in there. Uh, she seems to. She seems
she's surviving every day, you know, yeah, for boys and
me and the halse. She wakes up every day and
hopes for a draw because she knows she's not gonna win,
but she's just hoping she doesn't get knocked out, you know. So,
(41:28):
but she does a great job keeping us all together.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
You know. Well, you guys are getting well acquainted with
the one oh five freeway.
Speaker 7 (41:35):
Oh yeah, that is probably the biggest negative that Jack
go into Bosco is you know, if he went local here,
he'd be it, you know, a mile from the house. Instead,
I gotta get you know, if I go catch him
playing the game, it takes me about an hour to
get there.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
So if you want to fear the spear, you know. Yeah,
we love you Joe, and uh we're glad everything's going great.
Congrats on another fine draft and we'll talk to you soon.
Appreciate it, guys Dorty, We'll be right back. Three things
Thursday coming up in our final hour
