Speaker 2 (00:06):
This is the Petros and Money Show.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
You are one of the kind, hosted by Petros Papaday
guests left school after sixth grade. Look at him and
the voice of the Bolts Matt money Smith. The answer
is on money. There is nothing you can do. You
know it's coming. This is the Petros and Money Show.

On the home of your world champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
Make us your top preset on the iHeartRadio app. Boss,
that's all right, just pretend to believe in the future. Tony,
youuge s Petrose.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Some Money AM five seven LA Sports Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app on a super flex going until two
thirty pm. We got first pitch from the galpin Ford
Broadcast booth at three forty pm. Paul Schemes on the
mound for the Pirates. When the Pirates and Dodgers last played,
did not come up Paul skeens, so they were able
to avoid one of the best pictures in maseball. Today
(01:04):
they will get them in a showdown that no doubt
is must watch. Schemes versus a guy that likes a
choker collar, and who knows what could happen anytime that
dude takes the ball if he's willing to wear a
choker under his Oxford.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Very sexually free, Matt. You sound pretty free and easy.
You sound pretty confident for a guy with big bug
eyes who's not worried about the weather.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
And I can't see full disclosure, I was going to
get my eyes checked. My dear friend, doctor Marefi over
at LA Site said that my surgery, because I am
so young and so youthful and had such an old
person surgery because I'm a cataract that my white I
(01:53):
don't know what sells, it would be my white blood
cells attacked my lens that replaced the up lens and
created an opaque nature, a veil of cloudiness, blurry vision,
blurred vision that he blew apart with a couple of
lasers apps. But they needed to dilate me before they
did that, And now I am effectively blind for like
(02:16):
the next three hours. So I will try to read
through the prep I put together this morning, you.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Know, man, I mean, you know, every once in a while,
like vaneral Wright, you can wing it, you know, But
I don't on this show. I'm glad that you I'm
glad that you have a doctor issue, because we do
have doctor Neil Elatrosh, world now orthopedic surgeon and sports
medicine specialist based at Cedar Sinai Curl and Jube Institute.
(02:45):
He is the most highly sought after position on Earth
for elite athletes, serving as the head team physician for
the Dodgers. And he's gonna give us a little bit
of perspective into something been talking about in terms of
Scooble and Snell and old cock fighting Eddie and it's
(03:07):
all in the nanoscope loose bodies world.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
How does this affect my cockfighting ring?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Here? Doc?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I get the loose bodies removed the Puerto Rico.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
So we're gonna have all kinds of things to talk
to Elatrosh about. And he's no stranger to media. But
just so everybody knows he's a doctor, he will be
doing the interview in a white coat with a stethoscope
around his neck. Matt will be able to see him
because he's blind. But that is how you're going to know.
(03:42):
That is how doctor Elatrosh is a doctor. And he
will join us in the very next segment so we're
looking forward to that. It's an interesting get by Tim Kats,
who's always thinking ahead. And the good doctor is going
to talk about the nanoscope with us. And it's a
two ed mono Tuesday. It is a tired of the
lies Tuesday. We're not lying about the weather. But since
(04:05):
we started here at one, oh, what do you know?
What do you know? What do we got going out
out there Insburgh? Weatherwise? If we started at one, Matt,
there is new way we can go all the way
till seven o'clock. This isn't one of those Mason and
Ireland stupid proven marathon shows. Are you?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Are you telling me that the rain that was projected
to show up that was gonna get us pushed and
then have Rogan and Rodney till three and we'll see
whether or not we come on. Uh false alarm? Is
that what we're saying here? The false alarm?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
We could you could say that, you could say that
we you could say that we spoke the weather down.
You could say that down the wind of our complaints
and concerns and anxiety about the weather might have blown
some of the weather apart in pennsylvani Yeah, and the
sun shone through on the three rivers.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Well, then certainly the fear mongerine created in these parts
yesterday about tomorrow, perhaps it's just delayed slightly, and tomorrow
there must be monsoon like conditions headed toward Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Is that what's now happening? Is that what we're looking?
Oh oh, not not rain, but for maybe twenty minutes
tomorrow as well.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yesterday you said I'm gonna sound like the bad guy,
and now I'm leaning out you really are? You know,
blind and mocking people is no way to go through
your old age. Man. No one's gonna help you fight it.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It should have never been filed. And you know, it's
kind of like it's like with Dave Rest.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
It stays we It's like Dave says what Matt.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
When he says, is not pitching stressful intings. Yesterday we
pitched four hours of stressful sports talk and it didn't
need to be that way.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And I woke up stressed out like I want or
I started thinking about my daan. I said, none of
that matters if that weather blows us away, And Kim
Kates was right. Do you regret Tim sending the weather
text so early? So early in the process.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
No, I don't because what we don't know in native
Pittsburghers know is that the weather always changes. In Pittsburgh.
You got the Allegany and discovered not the Mahonga Halla.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It's the Ohio and the allegat the Ohio River.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Is the official point in downtown.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
That's what they both they crossed. They joined to create
the Ohio You.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Fool, right, But when it hits and becomes the Ohio River,
the weather changes all the time. If a wind comes
from a certain direction, it can blow the storm or.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Certain directions that are or faster.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Is that the fifty percent of not getting rained versus
the way?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Because I turned out, I do have to say it
turns out that there is some modicum of truth to
the question that Kates asked. I did get a multiple
meteorologist texts, oh good, and I think the fifty percent
of the area and precipitation likelihood is it's a it's
a like a math price.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
It's a combined number.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Uh huh, So fifty of the area, like half the
wedding party getting rained on is actually sort of real.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Okay, I stand corrected in my apologies case, But you
shouldn't have sent the text in the first place.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Well, the rain still coming, It's just got pushed back
a few hours.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Well, you know what, one good thing came out of
this because I'm aro matric pressure changed over the All right,
thanks for you, and I do say one good thing
I say, I say, I say came out of this,
which is I'm about an hour and ten minutes into
striking distance with Bruno Willis, where he's a hard corn
boat cop on the Monongahela and the Ohio and the Allegheny,
(07:55):
and it is unbelieved. There is so much action in
this movie, Matt. You got Dennis Farina. It's a it's
a real nutcutter. A lot of action, a lot of death,
a lot of Bruno Willis, a lot of Sarah Jessica Parkers.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Did you have to buy it or was it available
on one of the streaming outbuts.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
That's always what you asked, Matt. You don't have to
care about a band's heart and soul. You always want
to know if they had a number of woman or
how high it went on the charts. What about it?
What about the guts of it? Matt? What about the
feeling that's for you? Soul? Surfers.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
I want to know how much I'm making in sponsorships.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
You're a hot dogger and to and to answer your question,
I rented it for three ninety nine, pastor.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
What's just three ninety nine charge? You watching those adult
films again? No, that's a striking distance.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
You have to be an adult to watch it because
it's so hardcore, kicking ass. And Bruno Willis has so
many demons, and you know how he you know how
you know he's got demons because he lives on a
house boat. That's exactly right, So that one good thing
came out of it. So you better strap up or.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Strike demons or debts demons, debts or you're a wanted man.
That's how you end up living on a house boat.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Either way, you're drinking, sometimes right out of the bottle. Now, Matt,
I have another surprise for you as this show has begun,
and we will talk to doctor Elatrosh in a moment.
We'll do a Dead and Alive, we'll do word number
song and maybe a fun fact and then it's a
riva derci. Okay you can't, and then once we're done,
it's like a cabod crane. Once we cross that bridge,
(09:32):
my friend in Sleepy Hollow, the headless Horseman of you
gotta come later. Yeah, I often ask, hey, do you
need my help for Dodger talk because of the rain delay?
And how many times have I ever been taken up
on that?
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Much?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Never? Never? Right? Not much doesn't even cover it. Not much,
as like, so you're telling me there's a chance, right,
and no chance. But Matt, I'm gonna I'm gonna make
a bold statement right now. This isn't even uh well,
you know what. We do have some giveaways, don't we.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
We we've got more of the FIFA Fan Festival tickets.
Speaker 2 (10:09):

them away in this time slide a little bit. It
says we have Do we really have three? Or no?
It says three.

early people right now then?
Speaker 2 (10:22):

All right, Matt, I'm gonna come out and say it
right now. This is the best Dodger opponent theme song
we've had ever.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Not possible. This can't be better than Arizona or Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Come on and Toronto well and Scott Stapp. Yes, Matt,
I believe now you are always you have a proclivity
to just reject these things outright, I did with your
true nature as a record executive with dollar signs for pupils.
That's right, literally, right now, I wish.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
There were dollar signs. They're more snowballs.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I'm gonna say it right now. When Ernie Pontier took
the mic, of course Ernie Pontier from the band The Letterman,
of course he took the mic and this song was
produced to support the ninth nineties era Pittsburgh Pirates You
Gotta Believe nineteen nineties, nineteen nineties Matt like.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
This isn't even the seventies Dave Parker, Bill Matt Locke era.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
No, they played we are Family as you know. Oh,
that's right, of course, yeah this, I'm not going to
play that for you, Matt. That wouldn't be any fun.
We all know that that's fair. That's not fair to
anybody else. But these are the Falltico brothers. Frank and
Ray produced this song. We're talking about Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonia,
Van Slide, Jim Leland, Smoking Heaters, Sid Bream and I'm
(12:34):
gonna say it right now, this is the best song
we've ever played in this genre.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
One you come from.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
Were in the rooms long, kiss It, kiss It good Ball,
You gotta man shots, you gotta It's true. It's you
gotta man shot, you gotta got It's true.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Sleep Pox.
Speaker 4 (13:51):

Speaker 6 (14:07):
Bade, You gotta shot, you gotta be, you gotta take
(14:35):
you got shot. You got it.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
So set of this chap all you wanted, Mart of Talents,
O hell hid no dude headed on the air.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Wow, I mean wow, it toward the force.
Speaker 8 (14:59):
You gotta be believe it's your tune. You gotta believe
it's true. What year was that in Pittsburgh? We believe
the pirates will come through.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Now, of course, the pirates never win almost What year
was that? Ninety?
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Okay, so you're still you're not quite into the the Uh,
you're still there's still enough eighties that makes sense. Yeah,
there's still enough eighties there that not metal or garunge.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Well, these are hardcore mullets, Matt. You gotta believe it's
your turn.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
You gotta believe it's true. In Pittsburgh, we believe.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
And that that belief, that self confidence, Matt, that you
that you share so much here on the show, that
blew the weather away in Pittsburgh. That's what The Dodgers
have eight games up, even with key players not performing.
Huh what a time.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
That's yeah, I think uh number one. I think that
that hits lyrically. It hits closer to the bull's eye
than keep hoping and dreaming and you will soar you
know that, keep hoping and you'll figure it out.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Huh, well, what about the is that a night game? Right?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Because I believe has been eliminated from the podium.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
There is a learn how to fly the.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
Shot?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
I mean this should be this should be the theme
song to the pick, like, you know, just kind of
pull the Pirates out of it and stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And like this is that? That is interesting?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
That is that is a television show, high level production.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Now, in case you guys.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Were wondering nights, the Pittsburgh Pirates did have a playoff season.
They won the nl East with ninety five wins with
Jim Leland as their skipper, but they did lose to
the Rob Dibble led Cincinnati Reds, and the NLCS saw
that nast six games. So yeah, they did win their
division back in ninety so they were believing.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
This set up, this set on the text this song
will cure Matt's odds. That is fair.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I do believe pardon the punt was ninety I want
to say it was. It might have been ninety one. No,
I think it was it was nineteen ninety because I
was in high school. This was the year that I
discovered sports. Gambling, and my friend Bill Clawson got me
(17:51):
hooked up with his buddy and all we did was
bet on the Pirates to win and the Cubs to
lose every single day, and we sold Coca Cola at
Kamiski Park, and we had access to the scoreboard there
because I'm an old person and back then there was
no internet, so they would update the scores and we
would keep our tally, and by the end of the summer,
(18:13):
we ended up making a couple hundred bucks apiece. Wow,
on those daily bets. For these you gotta believe in
Pittsburgh Pirates.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I'm glad it was a different time for you, Matt,
because if you tried to play quarterback a few years later.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Yes, I'd be the most hated athlete in America.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
You might end up like Sooresby. All right, we'll be back.
We'll talk to doctor Elatrosh the very next segment, and
then we'll do Dead and Alive, and then we'll do
one more segment and that'll be that. Some of you
didn't like that song, but you people suck. That was
a great song. A picture is a great town and
(18:51):
striking distance. It is a very exciting movie. We'll be
right back. This is Petro Send Money.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
On demand demand, non demand demand superflex for US Dodgers
Pirates coming up at three forty pm, so we're off
at two thirty, but ninety minutes a PMS and a
reminder that a week from Friday, June nineteenth is our
first of three, only three this year. I'm gonna try
to make them bigger, more like that big blowout we
(19:31):
have at the end of every summer tour. Every single
one of these Friday, June nineteenth, September's tap Room in
Rancho Cucamonga, September's tap Room in Eatery. It is sixty
three to twenty one Haven Avenue. We got a bunch
of prizes, a fifty five inch TV, a five hundred
dollars cap and cook oven, plus pizza oven, and a
whole lot more from Barbecue Galore two hundred fifty dollars
gift certificate.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
There.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
We have Dodger tickets, Dodgers merch. All of that is
happening a week from Friday, and we would love to
see you out there again. We're only doing three of these,
so make sure to set your schedule now. Friday June
nineteenth in Rancho Cucamunga September's Tap Room and Eatery, the
first stop of the thirteenth annual Petros Money Summer Tour.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You know, there's a lot going on, Matt. There's a
lot of people talking about the NBA Finals last night
in New York. Obviously a huge global sporting event in
one of the capitals of the world, New York City,
at the mecca of basketball. There's a lot to discuss there.
And then of course it's being discussed. And then the
(20:34):
Dodgers are in Pittsburgh with some maybe probably exaggerated weather
issues that now no longer apply to you and I.
That's also a big topic. But I got to ask
you because I'm not as familiar with everybody's roster, and
you know, I should be better. But is that the
(20:55):
Rams starting left tackle that got popped for domestic alert? Jackson?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Yeah, he is there starting and he's kind of the
one of the anchors of that line.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
McClendon. I mean, that's their left tackle. My gosh, you know,
I mean, you're left tackle. You're the left tackle on
the favorite to win the Super Bowl in twenty twenty seven,
and that Super Bowl's at so far that's a that's
a bigger story. I mean, I know we talk a
lot about NFL football players and sort of it's not
savory news when there's domestic violence. There seem to be
(21:31):
a lot of it this offseason. Uh, and this one
hits a lot closer to home when it comes to
the Rams and they're starting left tackle and not a great.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Story, no, And this kind of goes this and like
the weird thing with the whole Miles Garrett was somehow
people used that to explain away that Ty Simpson pick.
We're like, wow, you see now it makes sense. You know,
you get Miles Garrett and you don't have to drest.
It's like, no, that we were talking about all of
the great tackles that were available in this draft and
(22:06):
whether or not the Rams could do themselves a favor
not to you know, kind of relitigate that, but that
if I remember right, it's like Blake Miller oud of Clemson,
ian At out of Arizona State, Monroe freely out of Georgia.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Just the idea to make.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Sure because Matthew Stafford is thirty seven, he's not that mobile.
And that was kind of the argument, like why wouldn't
you go get one of these guys to protect yourself
from injury.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I don't worry. We have this one guy and now
he's in.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Now we do Yeah, Like that's how quickly it can
fall apart. I mean, you know, we saw it with
the You see it with so many teams. Patrick Mahomes,
My god, how many excuses have been made for Patrick
Mahomes when he can't win his Super Bowl because his
tackles stink and the you know, the Buccaneers ran rough
shot over him in that Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
That was the big excuse for the Chargers last year.
Absolutely tackles, lost both tackles and they were able to persevere,
but only so far.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
So I think that's yes, I think it is a
legitimate concern.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
That's a big story in LA. I mean, that's a
lot bigger than the law and order folks, even if
it's a special victims unit. Being at the Nick game
last night, I would say, byea out there. The other
guy too, Yeah, the mean the mean guy from.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
OZ, the mean guy.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah. Well they're all pretty mean. You know, that's think
in prison. But you know he looked particularly angry. So
I'm just I'm just saying, uh, you know, Matt we're
waiting on doctor Elatrosh.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Yes day, he's in with the patient on an exam.
Still run a few minutes late.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I don't know if you want kidding me. Hey, this
is you, this is your nanoscope, baby cakes. But you
know what, you're taking a lot of liberties telling us
to back off for Elatrosh. Well, he does the reflex
hammer on somebody's knee right now. That's right, leta hit
you right here. Can you feel this? Yep? I feel
(24:06):
that you want to do the dead and alive case.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Yeah, let's start the dead in a lot, all right.
The great doctor calls, will ask mister Magoo to pull
it up on Yeah, just.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
To give you a little image for your mind's eye.
Normally I operate my computer doc at eighty percent. It
is currently at one hundred and seventy five percent. Yes,
it is all keeps You're dead, guy happy would have
been one hundred and eleventh to Lester William Pulsfice, les Paul,
(24:36):
you hear the name, of course you go to the
iconic Gibson guitar that has been played like guys who
have shared the studio with us in person slash, one
of the most famous Gibson, less Paul players out there,
countless rock legends, but of course less much more than
a guitar designer, talented musician, incredible engineer, pioneer in production.
(25:00):
This is nineteen fifty one. If you listen to this,
he and Mary Ford and the way he layered vocals,
he layered tracks. Nobody was doing that, you know, he
just kind of played to a track live. And he
was sort of the guy that really started viewing the
studio as an instrument. And that of course, my god,
think about some of the people who can sing today
(25:21):
with this thinking vocal tuners and auto tune and all
that sort of stuff. He was born in Waukeshaw, Wisconsin.
He was a tinkerer as a kid, and while other
kids might have just been throwing, you know, a little
bit of wax on the phonograph, he was taking apart
the phonograph and the radios and checking out how they
worked and rebuilding them. He did love music, though, and
(25:44):
those two things would kind of intersect his tinkering and
his appreciation for music. He got into guitar very young,
and as a teenager was kind of a town sensation
there in Waukeshaw, he played country, jazz, popular music all
around their local venues, and he was kind of like
the the Vounder kid who everybody came to see. Quickly
(26:06):
became frustrated with one problem though then many guitars faced,
and that is that acoustic guitars weren't loud enough for
him to play for people to hear when he was
performing with all those big bands. So he decided to
try to.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Find the trap obone.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
That's right, who's this guy think he is on a trombone?
I'm freaking running up and down this fretboard. Nobody can
hear it. So he made a homemade prototype that he
called the log. It was basically a two by four
that's actually one of the cooler things you'll see at
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's there and
it's just like a block of wood that's got some
(26:41):
guitar parts attached to it.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
And it worked.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
It solved the feedback and the volume problems that plagued
trying to amplify hollow body guitars, and it basically influenced
the development of what we now know as an electric
guitar or the solid body electric guitar. Arguably, you could say,
the most important instrument in the history of rock or
modern music. And when you partner with Gibson, they created
(27:08):
his signature model, the Gibson Less Paul in nineteen fifty two.
It became very popular because well Less had done all
the research, and it had a much more rich tone,
and it was versatile, and it basically became the only
guitar that musicians played when it came to electrics and
blues and jazz and rock and heavy metal of course
(27:28):
still very popular. But as I mentioned, the recording innovations
forties fifties, all techniques that nobody had really thought about.
Multi track recording musicians to record separate parts individually and
then send them in and then of course merge them
altogether for a finished song.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Nobody does that. He and Mary ford Man, they laid
it down. Nobody does this.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
That first song we heard, How High the Moon was
kind of the first time that anybody had heard over
dubbed vocals and recognized the voice as a creative instrument.
Died in two thousand and nine at ninety four. Legacy,
of course firmly attacker Rock and Roll Hall of Famer
and National Inventors Hall of Fame. As well one of
(28:11):
the most important people in the history of music, lespol.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
All right, did I hear the doorbell? As the doctor
at the dorm? I still wait high, go ahead, I'm
still waiting doing in my underwear on the paper up
on the on the stoop that he's gonna take. He
is in with the patient. We'll be calling in about
ten minutes. Oh okay, Kates for your live guy Bert.
The other day the Banjj from Nigeria real name Ola
(28:42):
Dappo Daniel Oia Banjol forty six years old. Today we're
talking about a big time Nigerian musician, Matt. He is
from Zaria, North Nigeria. His father was a military officer,
his mother a very devout business woman. He went in
(29:03):
a different direction. He went in the afrobeat direction, Matt,
a direction that could take all of us if we're
not careful, because those beats are just so enticing. He
did study mechanical engineering at Lago State. I looked up
Lago State. They do not have a mascot ah. Every
once in a while when they have a some kind
(29:25):
of sporting event, a fish like mascot character shows up,
but it's not officially. He then moved to the UK
to pursue a career in music. His fame started around
two thousand and five. He developed the persona of the
Cocoa Master and it was a big deal. Kanye West
(29:47):
signed him in twenty eleven, back when Kanye West seemed
halfway lucid, and that lasted like five years. In twenty twelve,
he did a deal, a huge Pan American deal with
Sony intered atainment and basically Matt He's like a running
back who can run zone and power not like plays
(30:10):
and catch the ball out of the backfield and pick
up blitz. He's a one stop shop for Nigerian entertainment.
He sings, he raps, He executives like You, He hosts
Like You on television and radio. He is often regarded
(30:31):
as the one of the biggest afrobeat stars of all time.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Well your afrobeat show a record.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Well there's none that, no question. Big boy doesn't even
bother with it. No, he should, for sure. He had
a long time association with the producer Don Jesse, who
is behind a lot of other big afrobeat acts. But
they broke up and there was a rape controversy. Then
it well, it turned out to be a promotion for
(30:58):
an anti rape song. And then the woman said, but no,
right after I accused him of rape, he really did
rape me and everybody's like, that's that's bs. And then
he sued her and there were lawsuits back and forth.
There was a fraud charge of a diversion of funds
from a youth empowerment fund, but he was cleared. There
(31:18):
was a drowned child. Sadly him and his wife has
had more children.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
But man, the back end of the Wikipedia really got
after it.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Huh yeah, well, you know, I knew that he had
the youth empowerment fund problems. It wasn't even Wikipedia that
I found out about the child. I had to dig
deeper for that. Ah and uh. But still a big,
big afrobeat star in the world today. De Banje Nigerian superstar.
(31:46):
Say that kid, what's that you want to do? The
doctor right now? All right, let's go. Is it time
for doctor kildare right now on your so CaAl Celebrity
Toyota hotline is doctor Neil elatrosh world renowned orthopedic surgeon,
(32:07):
sports medicine specialist, one of the world's most famous doctors.
How do you know he's a doctor right now. He
is wearing his white coat and his stethoscope and he
has his reflex hammer in the big pocket.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Oh that flashlight there?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
You know you put it that?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, maybe behind his ear Cedar Sinai Curland Job Institute.
He is a fove a friend of Vassay, and he's
highly sought after for elite athletes all over the world
and a great guy too. To do a radio interview
here he is doctor Neil Elatrosh on the Petrosen Money Show.
(32:45):
What's cracking Doctor? Thanks for doing it. Hi, gentlemen, how
you doing? Ah? Great, fabulous and we're happy to have you.
We know you're in between patients and you're a very
busy man, so thank you for accommodating us. We got
to ask you about the nanoskull nano needle surgery because
it's all on the news these days. It's the first
(33:05):
time we've ever heard about this. What is this procedure
we keep hearing about?
Speaker 9 (33:10):
Well, it's it basically accomplish the same things as with
the usual arthros. Could be just miniaturizing the miniaturizing the equipment.
So the nanoscope is about one a little less than
two millimeters in diameter, so it's like the size of
(33:34):
a of a needle, and it has a chip on
the end of it and gives you about one hundred
and twenty degree view. So that compares to a normal
arthroscope that's a little over four millimeters in diameter, so
it's less than half the size, and it helps you
(33:55):
get into a joint and into tight spaces without having
to have uh, you know, more significant exposure and less tissing,
less uh tissue invasion.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Maybe it's because it just happened with the Dodgers, So
we hear about loose bodies, the fact that happened to
two guys on the team here in short order. But
have have we always called loose bodies loose bodies? Is
this something new? Did it have a different name?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (34:22):
And and am I right in saying that, Like, I
just don't feel like this was something we heard a
lot about or have we and we just missed it?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Well?
Speaker 9 (34:29):
I mean maybe you've heard of somebody saying they had
bone chips in there in their joint or in their elbow,
you know, loose loose chips or yeah, all is about
the same thing. You know, when when you have when
you've been throwing for a while, uh, for years, the
(34:50):
back part of the elbow, there's a lot of shear
on the on the bones in the back part of
the elbow, and uh, with the you know, the massive
force that these guys put on uh, you know, time
after time, for months at a time, you get you
get some of these little little chips that will either
(35:11):
break off because they formed spurs on the back of
those can break or you can get small small debris
that flakes off the bones and those can grow inside
the joint like a pearl. You know, they get they
get nourished with the joint fluid. It's that they can
start off tiny, but they can end up growing big.
And if they're positioned just right or are big enough,
(35:35):
then it gives the pitcher a real problem with feeling
feeling like he can finish his pitch. You know that
he after ball release, he doesn't feel like he can
really get his elbow extended. And and the way that
these guys throw it and spin it. Now, you know,
if they can't finish their pitch and get a little
bit of the back spin on on the ball, then
(36:00):
they can't get the get they can't get it to move,
they can't get it to really finish, and uh, they
lose a little bit of velocity and they lose a
little bit of a command. So, uh, then if you
see somebody like like scooball what was happening to him?
Speaker 4 (36:17):
You know, the.
Speaker 9 (36:19):
Last straw was when when his people saw him sort
of shaking his arm to try to shake it loose,
you know, uh, you know during a game. You know,
that was a loose, loose body bone chip getting wedged
where it shouldn't be. And and he had been able
to to wiggle his arm around, you know, to get
(36:41):
the thing to wiggle free. But that's pretty unpredictable. And
you can imagine how how distracting and disconcerting it is
when at random you you know, your elbow is going
to lock and you're on the mound and you're you're
throwing it one hundred miles an hour, So you know,
it really is. It's a very distracting thing. These guys,
(37:04):
most of these guys, when they're getting those kind of
mechanical symptoms, they can't they can't make a go of it.
They can't compete with it.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
The Great doctor Latrosha is our guest and he's very
gracious talking to us in between patients walking around saving
everybody's arms and legs. Doctor, how many surgeries do you
do a week, just to give us perspective because you
are globally sought after.
Speaker 9 (37:26):
It depends on how big the cases are. You know,
I can't I can't do. I can't do you know,
more than a few big cases in a day. So I,
on average, I do about six big cases a week,
and then the smattering of smaller ones that will take
me maybe an hour. But the bigger ones Tommy John's
(37:48):
or revision Tommy John or complex multiple ligament knee injuries
like we see in the NFL. Now, there's no simple
or very few simple acts anymore.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
In the NFL.
Speaker 9 (38:01):
There's so much trauma that there's going to be some
other things that generally you.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Have to fix.
Speaker 9 (38:06):
So so none none of those things are real quick
quick operations anymore. So it just depends on how big
the cases are.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
The you mentioned trauma. Notwithstanding, we know football, you know
just inherently is going to be a spot where you
see a lot of that. But is there like, have
we figured out preventative wise, you know, to try to
protect the arm and the elbow or is it just
I mean you said it. You're throwing up all one
hundred miles an hour and that singular movement is repeated
(38:37):
over and over and over again. Is it just inevitable
that that thing is going to break down when you
have that much force and violence on that ligament or
do you think there we will find something that could
help with that moving forward?
Speaker 9 (38:48):
Well, you know you're asking it. You're asking a very
very important question because if you look at the statistics
of how much it costs when these guys get hurt
and the number of injuries, I mean, it's in the
hundreds of millions of dollars a year in replacement costs
(39:09):
and you know, lost salary because if somebody's sitting on
the bench.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Rehabbing.
Speaker 9 (39:17):
So and I do have very specific thoughts about this,
and it's really a pretty big focus of mine in
baseball now. So this is a long topic, but I
will tell you that a lot of the big shoulder
problems and some of that are actually related. The shoulder
(39:38):
and elbow injuries are somewhat remotely related because of the
mechanics involved begin when these kids are when these guys
are are are throwing when they're young kids, and so
the the changes in the skeleton that occurs, especially in
the shoulder. When these guys are throwing year round, they're
(39:59):
playing year round baseball, and when their team is not
in season, then instead of playing a different sport and
getting an off season like a lot of us used
too when we were playing when we were younger, they're
going to a high performance camp or high velocity camp
where they're throwing a heavy ball and they're doing all
(40:21):
the things that they see the big league heroes are doing.
And they come in when they're fourteen or fifteen years old,
and there are you able to throw it over ninety
miles an hour. And when I see a kid like that,
especially a kid that's not really outsized for his age,
(40:42):
I know that he's sort of artificially manufacturing the ability
to throw it like that, and I already can envision
what I'm going to see when I look at his
MRI scans or X rays. So a lot of these
problems begin in youth when the growth plates are still open,
and they caused some anatomic changes in the in the
(41:02):
shoulder and in the elbow that then set the stage
for problems. You know, when they get to that next, next,
next level of competition and whether it's college or in
the pros, and then then the big problems really start.
So you know, just in general that that is a
(41:23):
focus of mind. So by by preventing some of that
the abnormal anatomy to form would would definitely decrease some
of the bigger shoulder injuries that we see. And it is,
like I said, related to the two elbow injuries too.
And aside from that, you know, there's some things in
(41:44):
the game right now that if you look about two
years ago, there was an explosion of injuries where you
thought that every game you were going to see somebody
tear their ligament in their elbow. And if it was true,
there was a spike in injuries there who's post COVID
about a year or two post COVID. But what else
(42:05):
was happening at the time was that they changed the rules.
They put in a pitch clock, they took away the
taxi substances that these guys were able to grip a baseball.
And doing that when the philosophy of baseball had now
gone through every team in the major leagues that you
throw with max effort, whether it's velocity or spin every pitch.
(42:28):
And so you rarely see a pitcher now go past
seven innings. You know, you rarely see them finish a
game nine innings because just the amount of the effort
that they're making, they're they're throwing flat out, redline max velocity,
max spin every pitch and with a pitch clock and
no grip, no Tacki substance to make a grip. So
(42:52):
these guys had to learn learn that that's not how
they trained, that's not how they grew up. And so
but leave it to these pitch is. If you take
their Tacki substance away for them to not be able
to grip the ball, they're going to still spin it
ungodly spin rates. They're just going to find a different
way to grip it. And and what they did was
(43:15):
they figured out a way to position their fingers on
the ball and then really massively twisted their forearm at
the end called pronation and the death grip that they
would put on it with massive spin like that. That's
that if you wanted to tear a owner clatteral ligament
(43:35):
in the laboratory, you do exactly that. So so it
is just so we we saw those things really starting
to rip.
Speaker 4 (43:46):
Well, incredibly kind with his time, and we know you
are much.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
We learn a lot.
Speaker 4 (43:53):
We would love to do it again. I mean a
million things we can get into with the good doctor.
But with the loose bodies, with the nano needle and
everything that we've been hearing about. We know people love
getting educated all this and trying to figure out when
their favorite players will come back. We certainly appreciate you
taking time out of your busy day, doctor.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Thank you, good to talk to you.
Speaker 7 (44:11):
Guys.
Speaker 9 (44:11):
I really enjoy your program.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Oh, thank you. Oh doctor Neil Elatrosh. Take that vess
a what you put that in your pipe and smoke it?
Coming up next we'll have to do it then turn around.
Speaker 4 (44:29):
Most famous orthopedic surgeon on Earth and a Petrosen Money
Show regular.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Yeah, some of our less educated listeners are complaining to
me on the text though, so and I don't appreciate that.
I see them as loose body, loose bodies that need
to be sucked up by doctor Latrosh's nano needle. We'll
be right back. We're not going to do a thirty
(44:55):
second segment. Don't worry. We'll we'll we'll figure it out.
We have a lot of commercials, but we'll get you're there.
But God's par for the course this time of day.
Dodger started Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
Yes it's true, Southern California's most listened to sports talk show.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
On demand. Hey Cracking, everybody, welcome back. It's Petrson Money
on M five seventy LA Sports. A big thank you
to doctor Elatrosh for joining us and giving us a
lot of very interesting insight. If you're a father of
a young baseball type, I think the message is quite clear.
Give him an offseason, play a different sport, don't throw
(45:43):
year round, or doctor Elatrosha's knife is waiting for you,
and he knows what it's gonna look like. He said,
he knows what it's gonna look like when he cuts
into your kid. He's gonna look at the back stuff.
Because you made him play all year round. It made
him go to uupa valley and pitch. We also played
(46:05):
the great Pirate song You Gotta Believe by Ernie Pontier,
produced by Frank and Ray Fallatico in nineteen ninety. Mixed
reviews on that as well, But I think we've had
an impactful first hour of the show, Matt, I really.
Speaker 4 (46:22):
Do most definitely, we only got twenty minutes. Let not
even I'd like to read kind of separate this.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
I do have.
Speaker 4 (46:28):
I do have a fun fact to give us a
little bit of content here.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
We were going to do it after the break. You
want to do it after the break, That's what I was.
I asked for that, and I was told to push
to your fun fact. Okay, but I will read you
very well in our Yeah, I know, but what can
we do?
Speaker 4 (46:46):
Mats secret text us up line and brought to you
by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
We make it easy. This is what happens. It says
you're late at the doctor today. It says typical, typical
doctor gives you a point, and then you're sitting around
with best.
Speaker 4 (47:05):
It's very true ones with good bedside manner. That's what happens.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
That's right. You know they want to chop it up.
He's a big listener, and no he does not think
he's listening to the Rogan and Rodney Show. A few
other textilestors. That's pretty good. Somebody else said, I wonder
if he says he enjoys what your callers have to say.
Speaker 4 (47:26):
Oh, good call Rob Polinka forever.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
We'll be right back with the final hour fun fact.
Then we'll get the word, number and song it
