Take the day off three to six pm, Rock and
Bruce El Segundo corner of Maine and Franklin.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Well. I I want to make this announcement first worthy.
No autographs, none because of you weird autograph whares. But
the good news is for those of you from out
of town that won't be even though El Segundo is
so airport at Jason, it's embarrassing for those of you
(01:58):
that won't be even in town or doing something else.
We will be live streaming, right Kates, Yes, tomorrow is
a stream basebook and YouTube copy that Facebook and YouTube
stream that will be set up. Ricky asked if we
wanted monitors for ourselves to be able to monitor the
(02:20):
action on the YouTube and the Facebook the comments that
will be posted regularly insulting the effort that we're putting
for you. Just we split on that.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, I said, if it's easy busy on you, he said, well,
you know, we may be able to put them at
an angle there on the base of the stage see.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
And I was like, well, oh that's great. That's like
Frank Sinatra with the lyrics when he got old. So
it's very important to know that if you're not going
to be there and you're not just going to listen
terrestrially or on the app, that it will be live
streamed on YouTube and we stream it on X and
is that what it is? We did stream it on
X before and we had a lot of success. So
I don't know if we're doing that again. We'll have
(02:58):
to ask Wacko. But for sure, Kates I think has
the answer. What are we doing, Kate, I will double
check on that. I'm not sure about us, but it
is going to stream on YouTube for sure. I know that.
So we will be doing that tomorrow as well. For
those of you that miss the greatness of the Petros
and Money Summer Tour in person, you can always stream
it live and you can even add to the chat
(03:20):
to distract and insult myself and even more so Matt
Maney Smith exactly Dodgers Giants tomorrow too, like we've been
talking about. And did we have anything to give away

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Do it, I didn't say, but I do. As far
as our guests in the very next segment, World Class
Surfer Sean Thompson, I do have an announcement as it
pertains to the screening of his movie documentary in Redondo,
so because that is more EXCLUSIVEO situation, and I do
(04:01):
have a special announcement that will coordinate with the website
when the man joins us in the very next segment.
But right now it's time. That's some outside research myself.
But now it's time for the word of the day.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
His words the word of the day.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Well, most people know Rick Moranis's story, the great actor
and comedian and SETV and all those different things, and
his wife died and he quit Hollywood to raise his children.
So he hadn't been on screen much for years and years.
But in twenty twenty seven, matt Rick Moranis will be
back and so will Bill Pullman, John Candy's dead and
(04:41):
a lot of other people. But Amazon Slash MGM Studios
is bringing back Spaceballs, return of Dark Helmet. He will
be Dark Helmet and space Balls too, and it's going
to come out in twenty twenty seven. Now mel Brooks

is like ninety eight years old, brilliant. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I believe he's gonna be in it. I believe, yeah,
but I don't. I just don't think he's gonna direct it.
A you know, I don't think he's gonna be there
with the megaphone and the chair and mister Demil.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I'm ready for my close up. But Keiki Palmer is
in the movie, and it was announced this morning. Mel
Brooks will also feature the cast once again, reprising his
role yes as Yogurt, So he will be in it
as the dying Yoda character because he's really really old.
(05:44):
I don't know who's gonna direct it. But here is
a great scene from Spaceballs the original with Rick moranis
as Dark Helmet.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
So, Princess Vespa at last, I have you in my
clutches to have my way with you the way I

Speaker 5 (06:25):

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Oh no, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you.
Speaker 4 (06:33):

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yet I find you strangely attractive. Of course you do.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Jewish princesses are often attracted to money and power, and
I have both and you know it.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yes, Sir Rick Moranis will be back in Spaceball's two
twenty twenty seven. Beautiful, looking forward to it. Call in
the desert. What have you been found it? It's time
for the number of the day.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Here's my number, number of the day.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I don't know about Daffany's uniga.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah, get Zuniga back. Gotta have princess back, the Jewish Princess. Yes,
the Jewish princess.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Jewish princesses are often attracted to money and paw.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Number of the day is one. I don't know why
I answered the phone, but I did. It was a
number I didn't recognize. It said it was a wireless caller.
I decided to answer the phone, and to my surprise,
it was Sheila. Sheila was responding p to the first
strongly worded letter that I have fired off in years.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Who'd you write a letter to?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I wrote a letter to Caltrans? Was it an email?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Was it about? Yes?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I will read you the letter. The letter reads to
whom it may concern. I'm hoping you might be able
to point me in the right direction regarding someone to
speak with about signal maintenance. We had about a year's
worth of construction along PCH for new crosswalks. Since its completion,
it appears the quote electric eye function of the lights
has gone away in favor of a time schedule.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Cars in between.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Cars are now stuck for minutes at a time at
multiple red lights, no matter the time of day, When
there is zero cross traffic, left turn signals will stay
green for thirty seconds with no vehicles there. It is
causing long wait times, and now more and more people
are cutting through neighborhood side streets to avoid these delays.
(08:54):
It is considerably less safe in the neighborhood where kids
are playing, people are walking dolls, ugs, and frustrated drivers
are blowing stop signs speeding through town. When might we
expect the lights to return to their prior schedules in
order to put an end to this safety hazard that
has now appeared. Thank you for your help, Matt Smith.
(09:15):
And then I included my cell phone.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Number so you could only like, you know, I mean.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Did I expect them to call me if they called you?
I mean, you know, did I expect them to respond?
I thought they might respond to the email, But to
my surprise, they get a call from Sheila, and she
could not have been more cordial. She had a Southern drawl.
She asked me how my day was going, and then
she informed me that, like my email, many others had
(09:42):
voiced their concerns and that as of today, June twelfth,
these signals have in fact been reset.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Congratulations, except for one.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
She's like, I want to make sure you know that
pch and Seal Beach Boulevard is still going to be
on that elongated timer because they are continuing to do
some construction that's not quite finished yet. But every other
signal will in fact be reset to its original timed
position or electric eye function before the construction. Kids, strongly
(10:16):
worded letters can make a difference. Okay, enough of us
get together and demand change, then maybe change will be
there for us. We live in California. We've heard the
perils of idling cars at red lights as it pumps
carbon monoxide into the environment in my home and creates
(10:36):
holes in the ozone where.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Sleeps, where my children toys.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Here, we are stuck at these red lights with those
noxious gases flying towards the sky.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yeah, you can do what you want to us, but
I will not sit here. Will you ruin the environment?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Something had to be done that well. Thank you Sheila
from Caltrans for hearing the computer you are here. I'd
like to think, so I know I'm hoping. I know
you hoping there's a key to the city. I think
maybe a key to the county. You've already been surfering
the month. I mean, what else do you want? I
did put Long Beach, Seal Beach, Sunset Beach, Huntington Beach, signals,
So I included that whole stretch of PCH that has
(11:15):
been ravaged by this coltrans timed obstruction.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
You really are like Charles Carlt You know what, I
wouldn't mind an invite to the set morning, you guys
want somebody check out this. I used to take myself seriously.

But you know what, it's a continuation of the storyline. Yeah,
but she's not going to be hot, says who I say,

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Well, Matt joining us right now. A man who's made
a great impact not only in the world is surfing,
but just in the world. Now when we talk about
Sean Thompson, there's so much, there's this great surfing career.
There's the movie Busting Down the Door, the Groundbreaking Dock
that's released in twenty eight and they're replaying it today.
(15:47):
But it's about the winner of seventy five in Hawaii,
when these guys from Australia and South Africa, including Sean Thompson,
busted down the door at the North Shore and changed
surfing forever. It's worth watching tonight. It's at the Bay
Theater and Seal Beach the Rivian South Coast Theater in
Laguna Beach on Saturday night and Monday at the California
(16:10):
Surf Club in Redondo Beach, which is a private club,
but right now through this interview, if you go or
just go to Californiasurfclub dot com, they will open up
forty seats for the public that will be available to
hear the great Sean Thompson talk and do the Q
and A. One of the great surf men and men
(16:31):
of all time joining us on your Southern California Toyota Dealer,
Celebrity Hotline, world famous surfer Sean Thompson on the Petrosen
Money Show. What's Cracking? Sean? Thank you and welcome to
the show.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
Hey, guys. I think that's the best bloody intro I've
ever ahead in my life.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I could be better than that shot. I didn't even
get into Montecito. But this is exciting that you're on
tour in southern California bringing the movie back. You know
how much is changed about the reception of the movie,
the reception of the story since you know, seventeen years ago,
(17:06):
since eight.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
It all took place fifty years ago. So we celebrating
what happened then went down on the North Shore in
nineteen seventy five, and yesterday I was down at the
beach having one of the world's great surf contest that
trestles with all the best surfers in the world. And
I've got to say, everything has changed, but nothing has changed.
You've got to have the same mojo, the same commitment,
(17:31):
the same courage to win today as you had to
fifty years ago. That hasn't changed in any way, shape
or form.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
It's a great documentary for those that have never seen it.
Like Petro said, it's going to be at the Bay
Theater and Seal Beach tonight. Still some tickets available for that.
A lot of people think it's you know, behind Endless Summer,
maybe the best that's ever been made, just because of
the impact and how wild those three years were. Sean,
if you can just share with people that maybe don't
know seventy four, seventy five, seventy six and kind of
(18:00):
what happened when you all decided to go to the
North Shore to try to establish, you know, sort of
your name in the world of surf, in the world
of surfing, and to some degree kind of gave birth
to the world of professional surfers.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Yeah, back then, Hawaiians ruled the surfing world, and rightfully
say they were the greatest surface in the world and
the biggest waves in the world. And Hawaiian was always
the Mount Everest for surfers all over the world. In
South Africa and Australia. I mean, had pictures of the
great Hawaiian breaks and the great Hawaiian surfers on the wall,
and it was my dream to one day go and
compete in those big waves. And it was a collective push.
(18:35):
You had a group of young guys from Australia. You
had myself and my cousin from South Africa. We all
got to the North Shore and we just wrote it differently.
We were more radical. We were more committed to actually
creating a living out of doing what we love. It
wasn't just a lifestyle, but we thought we could also
add a sporting element to it. And we just came
there with a radical new approach, with the radical new boards,
(18:57):
and we were just committed. We were fully committed with
throw selves over the edge on the biggest, baddest waves.
And it was a really fun time. It was an
exciting time, and perhaps we should have tread a little
bit more carefully regarding cultural sensitivity. And we got into
some big beefs with some of the local guys, and
it was a kind of a life and death situation,
(19:17):
you know, there was a There was some times there
when we thought it was it was the end of
days for us. But ultimately, through this Great Watermen, a
guy called Eddie Aka, who was a legend in Hawaii,
broke at a peace treaty, and ultimately peace was declared
and we lived to serve another day.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Where was the where was the treaty? I mean, we
have the house in Appomattox for the Civil War, you
know where where Robert Lee Lee surrendered? You know where?
Where was the treaty brokeer. Was it at a local bar,
Was it on the beach? Was it like a paddle out?
Speaker 7 (19:50):
It all went down in a in a big convention
hall in one of the local hotels called the Turtle Bay.
How about that all.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
That's a good one.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
And that's where there was a big meeting with all
the Australians and the Hawaiians and then with Eddie Kah
who was like both the judge and jury. He definitely
wasn't an executioner. He was the judge and jury and
I think explained to everyone that surfing it's a small
world and we all need to get on and we
need to put this behind us. And there was no
(20:21):
ill intent from the Australians and the peace was declared.
It was a great moment because that was actually the
moment when pro surfing was born. That was in nineteen
seventy six, and that was the moment when professional surfing started.
So it's quite a story, it's quite a tale, it's
quite a yarn, and how it all came together was
(20:43):
amazing because it could have imploded before it even began.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yeah, it's it's kind of the second half of the
movie is all about sort of what happened in Australia
that year before you are in seventy five, and a
lot of stuff that was said publicly that was made available.
Then the Hawaiians it felt like you kind of got
just roped into it, that that you were not part
of everything that kind of had gone wrong and led
to Rabbit and these other guys that are in the
(21:09):
movie and Ian, you know, having to sequester themselves for
months at a time at that resort. Did you get
pulled into it? Were you like beat up on? Like
what happened to you as a result of all that?
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Yeah, the Ossis were very you know, the Aussies were
a lot more vocal than the South Africans. Perhaps we
were a little bit more subdued. So we escaped that year,
but then then the following year I got into Beef
with the same crew of guys. And this was after
Idio Cow had passed away, so it was it was
quite a tough road. It was quite a tough road
(21:41):
to drive on, but ultimately piece was declared as well.
So you know, I think when you reach at that time,
it was like the famous Hawaiian so for Andy Iron said,
it was like the wild wild West, and certainly there
was that aspect to the North Shore. But today it's
a lot more predictable, it's a lot more peaceful. But
it's great to have been there right in the beginning,
(22:01):
like we were paniers bashing our way through the jungle there.
That's what it felt like sometimes.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
And that is what the doc is all about, busting
down the door. Groundbreaking documentary from eight but about the
winter of seventy five in Hawaii. And we have Sean Thompson,
one of the great not characters because it's really him
in the film. But you know, it's interesting. You had
a whole life in surfing, and then beyond that you've
(22:27):
been able to help people, you know, in all kinds
of different ways, not just with surfing, but you talk
to corporations, you talk to young people. You know, how
did you start doing that? How did that become your
passion through everybody knowing you as a world class surfer.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Yeah, about twenty years ago, there was a big environmental
problem at this famous break called Ring Coon, just down
the road from where I live in Montasita, and a
friend of mine said, man, sure, and it's a huge problem.
It's an eight million dollar problem. And I'm going to
give you one hundred dollar budget to help solve the problem.
I felt like, what can I do for a hundred bucks?
He said, I'm going to bring a group of kids
down to the beach. I want you to inspire the kids,
and we're going to bring the media down. We're going
(23:07):
to bring the local government officials down and inspire the kids.
And with one hundred bucks, I went home and I wrote.
In fifteen minutes, I wrote twelve lines. Every line begins
with our will, and I wrote down the twelve fundamental
lessons that surfing had taught me about life. I will
always paddle back out. I will never turn my back
on the ocean. I will realize that all surfers are
joined by one ocean. Just simple concepts that surfing can
(23:30):
teach you. And then I created all card credit card size,
gave it out to the kids. The kids got stoked,
We created a grants well. Ultimately we got a number
of environmental groups involved with this project. We raised the money,
solved the problem, but these cards took on a life
of their own. I wrote a book about it. And
then I'm sitting out in the water at the same
break that had the environmental problem. And a guard paddles
(23:50):
up to me and he says, I'm a headmaster at
a local school. I would love you to come and
speak at the school about surface code. And I spoke
of the school. The kids got very excited about it.
Now asked him why don't you all write your own code.
And the very first line of code I got back
from a young girl was I will be myself. And
three months before I had lost my beautiful son he
(24:13):
played a dangerous game that he heard about at school
that was just made a poor choice. So when this
girl said I will be myself, you know, those words
are very powerful. Those words are about self esteem, those
words are about self empowerment. And I thought, wow, this
isn't This is an amazing, amazing words from this girl,
and they inspired me and I wrote another book, and
ultimately I started talking at corporations around the world that
(24:35):
the biggest corporations in the world's schools, universities, rehab clinics,
seal teams, jails. I talk about empowerment, how you can
make a choice and create a positive life for yourself
and no matter what your circumstances are. That's what I've
been doing for twenty years. I love doing it. I
love sharing my method. This code concept is so powerful.
If anyone wants to wants to do it, it's free. You
(24:57):
just go onto my website Sean Thompson dot com. Down
there the works. She do it with your family, dude
with your business group, dude with your sports team. Millions
of people have done it. It's an awesome transformational process.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
And the books are fantastic. I have the code. I
love it. It's a great book to pass on, a great
gift to pass on. It's just so easy to consume,
with so many great lessons. And obviously, you know your
world in surfing gives you that name, gives you that
reputation as a backdrop. Would love to know just kind
of what was it like on those boards in that wave.
(25:31):
We know how it's arguably the most one of the
most dangerous waves in the world. And when you're watching
this documentary and we see the equipment that you're writing,
it's hard to believe it looks like it looks, you know,
knowing what everybody rides today, what you guys were on
in the seventies, attacking that wave at pipe, like at pipeline,
like so many attacked today with this modernized equipment.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Yeah, I think the equipment is differently vasty superior today,
but I mean I think the focus and that commitment
and that courage is exactly the same. And yes, guys
are riding a lot faster, but still there's a The
best part of surfing is when you're riding inside this
spinning tunnel of water. Surface called it riding inside the tube.
And when I was surfing at my best, I really
(26:11):
felt that I could curve that wall to my will.
I felt I could control the wave of my mind.
And I think surface today have that same feeling. You know,
you feel that that wave is just moving in slow motion.
Your mind is moving so fast the waves moving in
slow motion that sometimes all this compressed air shoots from
behind you and lifts your boarder off the surface of
(26:32):
the water and you're actually flying, and it's an amazing sensation.
And today I think guys experiencing exactly what we experienced experiencing,
but they're doing it a lot faster, and I think
a lot more radically, and it's just it's wonderful to
see the evolution and to have been part of the
revolution that created that.
Speaker 2 (26:49):

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Hello, PMS listener, did you know Am five seventy LA

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Follow us all and many more.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Just go to AM five seventy LA Sports on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
App, Petros and money AM five seventy LA Sports live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. By the end of this segment,
we're gonna Fred Rogan it. We're giving away the Dodger
tickets against the Padres next week courtesy of Asahi's super
Dry Discover Japan's number one selling beer at your favorite
bar or grocer. So between now and the end of
(30:46):
this segment, right now, someone's going to get themselves that
grocery card. Oh okay, clear the lines of that. Clear
the lines, get the Superior grocery card, and then then
we're going to get you the Padre Dodger ticket.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
A lot of people are referring and a big thank
you to Sean Thompson. That was great talking to him,
and uh he is going to be tonight at the
Seal Beach Bay Theater And a lot of people enjoyed
that interview, So very cool to have him on a
lot of texts about it. Uh, but first there is
(31:21):
some Kersehaw curse talk, brought to you by your In
twenty twenty three, the pet Co Park scoreboard showed a
meme of a crying curse, and the Dodgers responded by
winning eight of the next nine games against San Diego,
and some say that was a curse on the Padres. Now,
(31:42):
since the Saint Louis Cardinals posted the Matt Adams home
run off Kershaw on Sunday from way back at twenty fourteen,
the Cardinals are oh and four and are about to
get under way in Milwaukee, and a loss to the
Brewers would make them oh and five. Since they decided
to make fun interesting of Clayton Kershaw, my copy here says,
(32:03):
keep poking the goat. See what happens the goat? What
happens when you poke a goat? You lose? I mean
you would know you're the goat effort. Yeah, just a
Greek peasant, that's all I am. Just somebody who makes
out with goats and mixes yogurt, So you know, that's
all I'm good for around here. What happens when you
(32:25):
poke a goat? I know what happens when you poke
a bear, you lose. You pinch the grizzly. Don't poke
the goat, you make like pinching that grizzly. Mean, all right,
so we put the over under on. What's that waking
up a sleeping giant. Sleeping giant. Yeah, well, don't do it,
(32:49):
don't don't play Kerse show look just because it's likely
that your team scooped Kershaw's boobs out playing the playoffs,
so you don't have to show that when he's there.
All it's bad. It's a curse, it's a plague on
your house.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Who knew that Khushaw was playing the long game, right?
I'm playing the long game here, guys. I'm gonna sacrifice
my postseason stats in this run of the World Series
for much more success than the regular season down the road.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Longevity, That's what I'm talking about. I wouldn't expect anything
else from these losers. They're gonna lose all their games now.
A cursed him got a great relationship with the Lord.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Although David Vesse did tell us that Matt Adams thing
was not that big of a deal, that it was
a giant playoff montage from multiple years.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Father God's gonna make sure they lose all their games.
Oh that is gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Until they make amends. Don't pulk the goat and amends
is a check made out to the Clayton Kushow Foundation
to Angie Kushaw.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Exactly right now, we're sented prayers and positive thoughts to
our friend Steve Sachs, a great man, two time World
Series Champ, eighty two Rookie of the Year, co host
of Scam every October with the venerable Tim Kats the
last eight years Scam has been going.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
That's a real seasonal. I mean, you get eight years,
you are a seasonal. It's like the opera season at
like the mat right, it is really a to do.
It's like the Bob Hope Variety program back in the
day between Thanksgiving and Christmas. You know you're getting two
or three of them.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
It's a special Well. Steve underwent open heart surgery on
Tuesday in sack Town. Surgery was a success. He's alert,
resting comfortably in the hospital. Saxy's daughter Lauren has been
sending Tim Kate's updates the last two days, keeping Kate's
up all night. Wonderful Kate's you know, Kate's is really
no scam. In love with the Saxy Dancer. He found
(34:34):
out at a yearly physical a few weeks ago that
he had a blocked artery. He's very healthy guy, and
he was advised to have surgery now and he's on
the road to recovery. And he's in great shape. He
doesn't drink and he works out daily and he still
had a hard issue. So it's a great reminder to
get your yearly physical, even if you're a loser like us.
It could save your life. If you're over the age
of forty five, get that colonoscopy as well. Oh really,
(34:56):
I'm gonna scate you had your kolonoscopy yet I had
a few weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Thanks for asking. That's right, had mine last year. How
about you there? And I come to work to be shamed.
Doctor Foreman came in here and you looked him right
in the eye and you said, set the appointment. It
was like, remember you should set the appointment. I'm going
in and doctor Foreman said, I appreciate, I will set
the appointment.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
This is about Steve Sacke's heart, not my ass. Best
wishes for a spirit to get your butthole probe I will, Matt,
and I'll tell you know what. I'm gonna invite you.
Since you're so interested. You knew it was God. I've
always wanted to know. I want to know what's up there.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
So easy, you can go in the same day and
come back to work, Matt. You worked the same day.
I worked the same day. I did Dodger pregame five
hours later. That's right, little loopy, but I felt good.
Fred did it. He took a week off, two weeks.
That could have been the stigmata. Though Ronnie did it too.
I'm the youngest. No, that's not true either.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
He caught me in a lie. You got me in
a lie. We still got Daniel, Jeremiah and mass You know.
The procedures not bad. It's the prep. It's the run
up that really gets you. I know I know all
about it. Thanks. We all know.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
You don't need to tell anybody that. We're all well aware.
I just can't believe I'll tell you that you don't
even know they put you out. It's no big deal.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Well, it's been a great show so far on this
Crunching Group. Thursday, halfway through. We have another one tomorrow
live at El Segondo. At the Rock and Birds at
three o'clock. Oh, we gotta give away those tickets. Oh

hour of live radio as our first stop of the
twelfth annual Petros in Money Summer Tour begins at three tomorrow,
(01:33):
Take the day off three to six pm, Rock and
Bruce El Segundo corner of Maine and Franklin.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Well. I I want to make this announcement first worthy.
No autographs, none because of you weird autograph whares. But
the good news is for those of you from out
of town that won't be even though El Segundo is
so airport at Jason, it's embarrassing for those of you
(01:58):
that won't be even in town or doing something else.
We will be live streaming, right Kates, Yes, tomorrow is
a stream basebook and YouTube copy that Facebook and YouTube
stream that will be set up. Ricky asked if we
wanted monitors for ourselves to be able to monitor the
(02:20):
action on the YouTube and the Facebook the comments that
will be posted regularly insulting the effort that we're putting
for you. Just we split on that.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, I said, if it's easy busy on you, he said, well,
you know, we may be able to put them at
an angle there on the base of the stage see.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
And I was like, well, oh that's great. That's like
Frank Sinatra with the lyrics when he got old. So
it's very important to know that if you're not going
to be there and you're not just going to listen
terrestrially or on the app, that it will be live
streamed on YouTube and we stream it on X and
is that what it is? We did stream it on
X before and we had a lot of success. So
I don't know if we're doing that again. We'll have
(02:58):
to ask Wacko. But for sure, Kates I think has
the answer. What are we doing, Kate, I will double
check on that. I'm not sure about us, but it
is going to stream on YouTube for sure. I know that.
So we will be doing that tomorrow as well. For
those of you that miss the greatness of the Petros
and Money Summer Tour in person, you can always stream
it live and you can even add to the chat
(03:20):
to distract and insult myself and even more so Matt
Maney Smith exactly Dodgers Giants tomorrow too, like we've been
talking about. And did we have anything to give away
this hour?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Just the Dodger tickets and we've done it already. No, no, no, no,
unless you want to.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Do it, I didn't say, but I do. As far
as our guests in the very next segment, World Class
Surfer Sean Thompson, I do have an announcement as it
pertains to the screening of his movie documentary in Redondo,
so because that is more EXCLUSIVEO situation, and I do
(04:01):
have a special announcement that will coordinate with the website
when the man joins us in the very next segment.
But right now it's time. That's some outside research myself.
But now it's time for the word of the day.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
His words the word of the day.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Well, most people know Rick Moranis's story, the great actor
and comedian and SETV and all those different things, and
his wife died and he quit Hollywood to raise his children.
So he hadn't been on screen much for years and years.
But in twenty twenty seven, matt Rick Moranis will be
back and so will Bill Pullman, John Candy's dead and
(04:41):
a lot of other people. But Amazon Slash MGM Studios
is bringing back Spaceballs, return of Dark Helmet. He will
be Dark Helmet and space Balls too, and it's going
to come out in twenty twenty seven. Now mel Brooks
(05:03):
is like ninety eight years old, brilliant. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I believe he's gonna be in it. I believe, yeah,
but I don't. I just don't think he's gonna direct it.
A you know, I don't think he's gonna be there
with the megaphone and the chair and mister Demil.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I'm ready for my close up. But Keiki Palmer is
in the movie, and it was announced this morning. Mel
Brooks will also feature the cast once again, reprising his
role yes as Yogurt, So he will be in it
as the dying Yoda character because he's really really old.
(05:44):
I don't know who's gonna direct it. But here is
a great scene from Spaceballs the original with Rick moranis
as Dark Helmet.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
So, Princess Vespa at last, I have you in my
clutches to have my way with you the way I
want to.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
No, no, please leave me alone. No, you are mine.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Not so fast helmet lone star.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yes, it's me. I'm here to save my girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh oh and you too?
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Oh oh no, Princess vespa At last we are alone.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Oh no, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Leave me alone?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yet I find you strangely attractive. Of course you do.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Jewish princesses are often attracted to money and power, and
I have both and you know it.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Oh, leave me alone? No, kiss me?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
No, no, yes, no, no, yes, no yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:51):

Speaker 4 (06:57):
So big, flock you need it on the breach, sir,
lock on my dord knock next time.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yes, Sir Rick Moranis will be back in Spaceball's two
twenty twenty seven. Beautiful, looking forward to it. Call in
the desert. What have you been found it? It's time
for the number of the day.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Here's my number, number of the day.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I don't know about Daffany's uniga.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah, get Zuniga back. Gotta have princess back, the Jewish Princess. Yes,
the Jewish princess.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Jewish princesses are often attracted to money and paw.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Number of the day is one. I don't know why
I answered the phone, but I did. It was a
number I didn't recognize. It said it was a wireless caller.
I decided to answer the phone, and to my surprise,
it was Sheila. Sheila was responding p to the first
strongly worded letter that I have fired off in years.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Who'd you write a letter to?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I wrote a letter to Caltrans? Was it an email?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Was it about? Yes?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I will read you the letter. The letter reads to
whom it may concern. I'm hoping you might be able
to point me in the right direction regarding someone to
speak with about signal maintenance. We had about a year's
worth of construction along PCH for new crosswalks. Since its completion,
it appears the quote electric eye function of the lights
has gone away in favor of a time schedule.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Cars in between.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Cars are now stuck for minutes at a time at
multiple red lights, no matter the time of day, When
there is zero cross traffic, left turn signals will stay
green for thirty seconds with no vehicles there. It is
causing long wait times, and now more and more people
are cutting through neighborhood side streets to avoid these delays.
(08:54):
It is considerably less safe in the neighborhood where kids
are playing, people are walking dolls, ugs, and frustrated drivers
are blowing stop signs speeding through town. When might we
expect the lights to return to their prior schedules in
order to put an end to this safety hazard that
has now appeared. Thank you for your help, Matt Smith.
(09:15):
And then I included my cell phone.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Number so you could only like, you know, I mean.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Did I expect them to call me if they called you?
I mean, you know, did I expect them to respond?
I thought they might respond to the email, But to
my surprise, they get a call from Sheila, and she
could not have been more cordial. She had a Southern drawl.
She asked me how my day was going, and then
she informed me that, like my email, many others had
(09:42):
voiced their concerns and that as of today, June twelfth,
these signals have in fact been reset.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Congratulations, except for one.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
She's like, I want to make sure you know that
pch and Seal Beach Boulevard is still going to be
on that elongated timer because they are continuing to do
some construction that's not quite finished yet. But every other
signal will in fact be reset to its original timed
position or electric eye function before the construction. Kids, strongly
(10:16):
worded letters can make a difference. Okay, enough of us
get together and demand change, then maybe change will be
there for us. We live in California. We've heard the
perils of idling cars at red lights as it pumps
carbon monoxide into the environment in my home and creates
(10:36):
holes in the ozone where.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Sleeps, where my children toys.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Here, we are stuck at these red lights with those
noxious gases flying towards the sky.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yeah, you can do what you want to us, but
I will not sit here. Will you ruin the environment?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Something had to be done that well. Thank you Sheila
from Caltrans for hearing the computer you are here. I'd
like to think, so I know I'm hoping. I know
you hoping there's a key to the city. I think
maybe a key to the county. You've already been surfering
the month. I mean, what else do you want? I
did put Long Beach, Seal Beach, Sunset Beach, Huntington Beach, signals,
So I included that whole stretch of PCH that has
(11:15):
been ravaged by this coltrans timed obstruction.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
You really are like Charles Carlt You know what, I
wouldn't mind an invite to the set morning, you guys
want somebody check out this. I used to take myself seriously.
Way you get a load of this? Now this out.

The thing is, they're all just so old.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
But you know what, it's a continuation of the storyline. Yeah,
but she's not going to be hot, says who I say,

Speaker 2 (11:59):
No? I have not. She's hot. She was a melrose
Place with that guy that Hartman, got into a fight

Speaker 2 (16:46):
I could be better than that shot. I didn't even
get into Montecito. But this is exciting that you're on
tour in southern California bringing the movie back. You know
how much is changed about the reception of the movie,
the reception of the story since you know, seventeen years ago,
(17:06):
since eight.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
It all took place fifty years ago. So we celebrating
what happened then went down on the North Shore in
nineteen seventy five, and yesterday I was down at the
beach having one of the world's great surf contest that
trestles with all the best surfers in the world. And
I've got to say, everything has changed, but nothing has changed.
You've got to have the same mojo, the same commitment,
(17:31):
the same courage to win today as you had to
fifty years ago. That hasn't changed in any way, shape
or form.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
It's a great documentary for those that have never seen it.
Like Petro said, it's going to be at the Bay
Theater and Seal Beach tonight. Still some tickets available for that.
A lot of people think it's you know, behind Endless Summer,
maybe the best that's ever been made, just because of
the impact and how wild those three years were. Sean,
if you can just share with people that maybe don't
know seventy four, seventy five, seventy six and kind of
(18:00):
what happened when you all decided to go to the
North Shore to try to establish, you know, sort of
your name in the world of surf, in the world
of surfing, and to some degree kind of gave birth
to the world of professional surfers.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Yeah, back then, Hawaiians ruled the surfing world, and rightfully
say they were the greatest surface in the world and
the biggest waves in the world. And Hawaiian was always
the Mount Everest for surfers all over the world. In
South Africa and Australia. I mean, had pictures of the
great Hawaiian breaks and the great Hawaiian surfers on the wall,
and it was my dream to one day go and
compete in those big waves. And it was a collective push.
(18:35):
You had a group of young guys from Australia. You
had myself and my cousin from South Africa. We all
got to the North Shore and we just wrote it differently.
We were more radical. We were more committed to actually
creating a living out of doing what we love. It
wasn't just a lifestyle, but we thought we could also
add a sporting element to it. And we just came
there with a radical new approach, with the radical new boards,
(18:57):
and we were just committed. We were fully committed with
throw selves over the edge on the biggest, baddest waves.
And it was a really fun time. It was an
exciting time, and perhaps we should have tread a little
bit more carefully regarding cultural sensitivity. And we got into
some big beefs with some of the local guys, and
it was a kind of a life and death situation,
(19:17):
you know, there was a There was some times there
when we thought it was it was the end of
days for us. But ultimately, through this Great Watermen, a
guy called Eddie Aka, who was a legend in Hawaii,
broke at a peace treaty, and ultimately peace was declared
and we lived to serve another day.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Where was the where was the treaty? I mean, we
have the house in Appomattox for the Civil War, you
know where where Robert Lee Lee surrendered? You know where?
Where was the treaty brokeer. Was it at a local bar,
Was it on the beach? Was it like a paddle out?
Speaker 7 (19:50):
It all went down in a in a big convention
hall in one of the local hotels called the Turtle Bay.
How about that all.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
That's a good one.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
And that's where there was a big meeting with all
the Australians and the Hawaiians and then with Eddie Kah
who was like both the judge and jury. He definitely
wasn't an executioner. He was the judge and jury and
I think explained to everyone that surfing it's a small
world and we all need to get on and we
need to put this behind us. And there was no
(20:21):
ill intent from the Australians and the peace was declared.
It was a great moment because that was actually the
moment when pro surfing was born. That was in nineteen
seventy six, and that was the moment when professional surfing started.
So it's quite a story, it's quite a tale, it's
quite a yarn, and how it all came together was
(20:43):
amazing because it could have imploded before it even began.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yeah, it's it's kind of the second half of the
movie is all about sort of what happened in Australia
that year before you are in seventy five, and a
lot of stuff that was said publicly that was made available.
Then the Hawaiians it felt like you kind of got
just roped into it, that that you were not part
of everything that kind of had gone wrong and led
to Rabbit and these other guys that are in the
(21:09):
movie and Ian, you know, having to sequester themselves for
months at a time at that resort. Did you get
pulled into it? Were you like beat up on? Like
what happened to you as a result of all that?
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Yeah, the Ossis were very you know, the Aussies were
a lot more vocal than the South Africans. Perhaps we
were a little bit more subdued. So we escaped that year,
but then then the following year I got into Beef
with the same crew of guys. And this was after
Idio Cow had passed away, so it was it was
quite a tough road. It was quite a tough road
(21:41):
to drive on, but ultimately piece was declared as well.
So you know, I think when you reach at that time,
it was like the famous Hawaiian so for Andy Iron said,
it was like the wild wild West, and certainly there
was that aspect to the North Shore. But today it's
a lot more predictable, it's a lot more peaceful. But
it's great to have been there right in the beginning,
(22:01):
like we were paniers bashing our way through the jungle there.
That's what it felt like sometimes.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
And that is what the doc is all about, busting
down the door. Groundbreaking documentary from eight but about the
winter of seventy five in Hawaii. And we have Sean Thompson,
one of the great not characters because it's really him
in the film. But you know, it's interesting. You had
a whole life in surfing, and then beyond that you've
(22:27):
been able to help people, you know, in all kinds
of different ways, not just with surfing, but you talk
to corporations, you talk to young people. You know, how
did you start doing that? How did that become your
passion through everybody knowing you as a world class surfer.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Yeah, about twenty years ago, there was a big environmental
problem at this famous break called Ring Coon, just down
the road from where I live in Montasita, and a
friend of mine said, man, sure, and it's a huge problem.
It's an eight million dollar problem. And I'm going to
give you one hundred dollar budget to help solve the problem.
I felt like, what can I do for a hundred bucks?
He said, I'm going to bring a group of kids
down to the beach. I want you to inspire the kids,
and we're going to bring the media down. We're going
(23:07):
to bring the local government officials down and inspire the kids.
And with one hundred bucks, I went home and I wrote.
In fifteen minutes, I wrote twelve lines. Every line begins
with our will, and I wrote down the twelve fundamental
lessons that surfing had taught me about life. I will
always paddle back out. I will never turn my back
on the ocean. I will realize that all surfers are
joined by one ocean. Just simple concepts that surfing can
(23:30):
teach you. And then I created all card credit card size,
gave it out to the kids. The kids got stoked,
We created a grants well. Ultimately we got a number
of environmental groups involved with this project. We raised the money,
solved the problem, but these cards took on a life
of their own. I wrote a book about it. And
then I'm sitting out in the water at the same
break that had the environmental problem. And a guard paddles
(23:50):
up to me and he says, I'm a headmaster at
a local school. I would love you to come and
speak at the school about surface code. And I spoke
of the school. The kids got very excited about it.
Now asked him why don't you all write your own code.
And the very first line of code I got back
from a young girl was I will be myself. And
three months before I had lost my beautiful son he
(24:13):
played a dangerous game that he heard about at school
that was just made a poor choice. So when this
girl said I will be myself, you know, those words
are very powerful. Those words are about self esteem, those
words are about self empowerment. And I thought, wow, this
isn't This is an amazing, amazing words from this girl,
and they inspired me and I wrote another book, and
ultimately I started talking at corporations around the world that
(24:35):
the biggest corporations in the world's schools, universities, rehab clinics,
seal teams, jails. I talk about empowerment, how you can
make a choice and create a positive life for yourself
and no matter what your circumstances are. That's what I've
been doing for twenty years. I love doing it. I
love sharing my method. This code concept is so powerful.
If anyone wants to wants to do it, it's free. You
(24:57):
just go onto my website Sean Thompson dot com. Down
there the works. She do it with your family, dude
with your business group, dude with your sports team. Millions
of people have done it. It's an awesome transformational process.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
And the books are fantastic. I have the code. I
love it. It's a great book to pass on, a great
gift to pass on. It's just so easy to consume,
with so many great lessons. And obviously, you know your
world in surfing gives you that name, gives you that
reputation as a backdrop. Would love to know just kind
of what was it like on those boards in that wave.
(25:31):
We know how it's arguably the most one of the
most dangerous waves in the world. And when you're watching
this documentary and we see the equipment that you're writing,
it's hard to believe it looks like it looks, you know,
knowing what everybody rides today, what you guys were on
in the seventies, attacking that wave at pipe, like at pipeline,
like so many attacked today with this modernized equipment.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Yeah, I think the equipment is differently vasty superior today,
but I mean I think the focus and that commitment
and that courage is exactly the same. And yes, guys
are riding a lot faster, but still there's a The
best part of surfing is when you're riding inside this
spinning tunnel of water. Surface called it riding inside the tube.
And when I was surfing at my best, I really
(26:11):
felt that I could curve that wall to my will.
I felt I could control the wave of my mind.
And I think surface today have that same feeling. You know,
you feel that that wave is just moving in slow motion.
Your mind is moving so fast the waves moving in
slow motion that sometimes all this compressed air shoots from
behind you and lifts your boarder off the surface of
(26:32):
the water and you're actually flying, and it's an amazing sensation.
And today I think guys experiencing exactly what we experienced experiencing,
but they're doing it a lot faster, and I think
a lot more radically, and it's just it's wonderful to
see the evolution and to have been part of the
revolution that created that.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
And they bang out those three sixties like it's another
do you see that bag in the day or the
head would fall great Sean Thompson. There's a lot to
promote here and rightfully so, just an unbelievable person and story.

A lot of people are referring and a big thank
you to Sean Thompson. That was great talking to him,
and uh he is going to be tonight at the
Seal Beach Bay Theater And a lot of people enjoyed
that interview, So very cool to have him on a
lot of texts about it. Uh, but first there is
(31:21):
some Kersehaw curse talk, brought to you by your In
twenty twenty three, the pet Co Park scoreboard showed a
meme of a crying curse, and the Dodgers responded by
winning eight of the next nine games against San Diego,
and some say that was a curse on the Padres. Now,
(31:42):
since the Saint Louis Cardinals posted the Matt Adams home
run off Kershaw on Sunday from way back at twenty fourteen,
the Cardinals are oh and four and are about to
get under way in Milwaukee, and a loss to the
Brewers would make them oh and five. Since they decided
to make fun interesting of Clayton Kershaw, my copy here says,
(32:03):
keep poking the goat. See what happens the goat? What
happens when you poke a goat? You lose? I mean
you would know you're the goat effort. Yeah, just a
Greek peasant, that's all I am. Just somebody who makes
out with goats and mixes yogurt, So you know, that's
all I'm good for around here. What happens when you
(32:25):
poke a goat? I know what happens when you poke
a bear, you lose. You pinch the grizzly. Don't poke
the goat, you make like pinching that grizzly. Mean, all right,
so we put the over under on. What's that waking
up a sleeping giant. Sleeping giant. Yeah, well, don't do it,
(32:49):
don't don't play Kerse show look just because it's likely
that your team scooped Kershaw's boobs out playing the playoffs,
so you don't have to show that when he's there.
All it's bad. It's a curse, it's a plague on
your house.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Who knew that Khushaw was playing the long game, right?
I'm playing the long game here, guys. I'm gonna sacrifice
my postseason stats in this run of the World Series
for much more success than the regular season down the road.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Longevity, That's what I'm talking about. I wouldn't expect anything
else from these losers. They're gonna lose all their games now.
A cursed him got a great relationship with the Lord.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Although David Vesse did tell us that Matt Adams thing
was not that big of a deal, that it was
a giant playoff montage from multiple years.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Father God's gonna make sure they lose all their games.
Oh that is gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Until they make amends. Don't pulk the goat and amends
is a check made out to the Clayton Kushow Foundation
to Angie Kushaw.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Exactly right now, we're sented prayers and positive thoughts to
our friend Steve Sachs, a great man, two time World
Series Champ, eighty two Rookie of the Year, co host
of Scam every October with the venerable Tim Kats the
last eight years Scam has been going.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
That's a real seasonal. I mean, you get eight years,
you are a seasonal. It's like the opera season at
like the mat right, it is really a to do.
It's like the Bob Hope Variety program back in the
day between Thanksgiving and Christmas. You know you're getting two
or three of them.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
It's a special Well. Steve underwent open heart surgery on
Tuesday in sack Town. Surgery was a success. He's alert,
resting comfortably in the hospital. Saxy's daughter Lauren has been
sending Tim Kate's updates the last two days, keeping Kate's
up all night. Wonderful Kate's you know, Kate's is really
no scam. In love with the Saxy Dancer. He found
(34:34):
out at a yearly physical a few weeks ago that
he had a blocked artery. He's very healthy guy, and
he was advised to have surgery now and he's on
the road to recovery. And he's in great shape. He
doesn't drink and he works out daily and he still
had a hard issue. So it's a great reminder to
get your yearly physical, even if you're a loser like us.
It could save your life. If you're over the age
of forty five, get that colonoscopy as well. Oh really,
(34:56):
I'm gonna scate you had your kolonoscopy yet I had
a few weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Thanks for asking. That's right, had mine last year. How
about you there? And I come to work to be shamed.
Doctor Foreman came in here and you looked him right
in the eye and you said, set the appointment. It
was like, remember you should set the appointment. I'm going
in and doctor Foreman said, I appreciate, I will set
the appointment.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
This is about Steve Sacke's heart, not my ass. Best
wishes for a spirit to get your butthole probe I will, Matt,
and I'll tell you know what. I'm gonna invite you.
Since you're so interested. You knew it was God. I've
always wanted to know. I want to know what's up there.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
So easy, you can go in the same day and
come back to work, Matt. You worked the same day.
I worked the same day. I did Dodger pregame five
hours later. That's right, little loopy, but I felt good.
Fred did it. He took a week off, two weeks.
That could have been the stigmata. Though Ronnie did it too.
I'm the youngest. No, that's not true either.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
He caught me in a lie. You got me in
a lie. We still got Daniel, Jeremiah and mass You know.
The procedures not bad. It's the prep. It's the run
up that really gets you. I know I know all
about it. Thanks. We all know.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
You don't need to tell anybody that. We're all well aware.
I just can't believe I'll tell you that you don't
even know they put you out. It's no big deal.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Well, it's been a great show so far on this
Crunching Group. Thursday, halfway through. We have another one tomorrow
live at El Segondo. At the Rock and Birds at
