I'll play Saturday the twenty eighth moving all over the place.
But we will give those tickets away either in this

Speaker 2 (01:18):
The wave of your arm you can change a light.
We will have the top story way in by the

The very next segment. Speaking of the audio format, we
will have an interview with Carson Palmer the next segment
after the.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Quin's a wizard sleeve.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
But Carson is all man and he will join us
in the final hour. And then the flapping of the
flag to change a young man's trajectory of his life
from the draft, and then we play the winds of Change.
We have all the different flapping sounds on the Pettersen
Money Show. Not to mention the transfer Mortal sound, which
is filled with USC players. Pretty much everybody that plays
(02:05):
on the team USC football's falling apart.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Matt Either the bear, Alexander One's the best, the Georgia tattoo,
the USC twitter avatar, and the Penn State uniform.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
It's all part of his story. Yeah, it's all part
of his story, man, But it is really an exodus.
I mean Lincoln Riley's big recruits at USC in his
first two recruiting classes Demonti Jackson in twenty twenty one.
The guys from twenty twenty one Demonty Jackson, Zion Branch,
(02:39):
Ray Leak Brown, CJ. Williams, and Fabian ross Of all transferred.
Twenty twenty two, Zachariat Branch, Malachi Nelson, Deuce Robinson, Malachi Lemon,
or excuse me, Mackay Lemon, Brayln Shelby, Tac Curtis, Wrynton Joyner,
the running back Elijah Page, Uh Crawford, and Jacoby Lane
(03:04):
all transferred. Jacoby and now the OC and offensive line
coach are going to Purdue to be the new OC
for Barry Oh to get into that big Indiana football tussle.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
We're so interesting on everybody knows the hotbit of college
football is the state of Indiana.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Now, some might say USC football is falling apart Matt Well,
New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
What does it say, though, if you can't keep the
wide receiver and you're a guy who loves to throw
the football and never run it, and you can't keep
your three top wide receivers.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Those were all his recruits like those were his big
classes and they they're all gone. Does your mind eyes
doesn't inspire a lot of loyalty, it seems.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Zachar Riot Branch is one of the best receivers and
punt returns in football.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
The both the Branch brothers are gone, The branches are broken.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
How do you not keep that guy around? He's like
a pillar on your offense.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Like the meat falls off the bone at the debris
sandwich that Ronnie eats in New Orleans on Chapatoulas. USC
football is falling apart, crumbling in your mouth.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You don't need teeth to eat that meat.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
You don't need teeth to eat our beef. Word of
the day, everybody with the college football theme continuing word
of the.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Day, his words the word of the day tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
It's so fine, Matt. It's no longer Gronk or Jimmy
Kimmel or anybody. It's the art of Sport La Bowl,
Gronk oh okay, art of Sport La Bowl. And then
Gronk's gonna be there too. It's kind of like Prime
(04:49):
Time with Pat O'Brien featuring t Hartman, with perhaps also
maybe Victor Brick Victor Chicks it's you and l V,
who's still in the top twenty five versus Cow. It's
n LB. What's that?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
It's gonna be a great game.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Oh, with Grog and Steve Brenner involved, Matt, how could
it not be?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Kidney.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You and lv's ten and three runner up to Boise
in the Mountain West. Their coach is gone. They're playing
their second straight bowl game after going nine years without
playing in one. You and lv's bury Oedam is gone.
Dal Alexander, who coached at SC when I was there,
has been named the interim head coach for the bowl game,
(05:34):
coach dell An Laog. The Rebels already have a new
coach in place, Dan Mullen, who was hired this month
from Florida and Mississippi State. CAL, as you know, is
six and six overall. Their quarterback Forty Mendez is going
to miss the bowl game because he's entered the transfer portal.
Chandler Rogers is expected to take the starting role for
(05:57):
CAL in the bowl game. He's not as good put.
The tickets are still there at LA bowlgame dot Com.
Maybe Ricky White's gonna block another pot, Matt.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
It's unfathomable, right, like How how is sport could sabotage
itself so dramatically and not have any answer like, yeah, well,
we're just gonna do this transfer portal thing before the
bowl games, even though we kind of have one of
these every single night in a sports thirsty society, We're
(06:31):
gonna make sure we do everything we possibly can to
minimize the quality of the game by opening the transfer
portal and having starting quarterbacks not play and coaches not coach.
This makes perfect sense to each and every one else.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I think it's a great idea. I love what they're doing.
I love the confusion. I love the drones flying everywhere
around college football that nobody knows what they are. I
love mister Jim's and England, which was forum adjacent that
ran the ad Matt that you saw in the Lakers
program for decades that said you'd need no teeth to eat.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Our beefs our beefs.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
You guys have clearly not read Joel Klat's Twitter in
the last twenty minutes because he has the easiest fix.
This's hot take season for Joel to this December transfer
portal madness is finishing the college football season prior to
the start of the spring semester. We should be crowding
a champ near January one, and then we could have
an eight to ten day window for transfers after that.
So he just solved it. So, I don't know what
(07:31):
you guys are talking about, complain about, there's a mess.
Joel just fixed it.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
It is.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
It is a bit weird that you have the conference
championship games or the conclusion of the regular season, and
then the teams that are participating in the playoffs don't
play again for a month.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, it's almost like chaos. Yeah, a bunch of people
running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Does seem like you ought to play those games, you know,
a week later, or maybe two at the most, not four.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
The greatest thing about college football is the confusion.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
It's the chaos and the confusion.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's time for the number of the day up number.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Of the day. Number of the day is forty as
in forty percent with the release of Squid Game on
Netflix and season two is about to arrive here in
a couple of days December twenty sixth.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Now is that the one that's a joke? Like it's
like where it's like a game show where everybody's just
messing around like real people. Or is it the one
that's like a drama where people die.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
That's it's the one where you're in the game show
and you realize, oh wow, I'm not just here to
win money. I'm here to die either. I win all
this money, like the one with actors. Yes, yes, yes, yes, actors,
Yes exactly. It is a serial. It is not a
because remember you did a report on the physical one
hundred right exactly, which turned out to be terrible. First
(09:00):
couple weeks are good and then it just fell apart.
Netflix and Duo Lingo have teamed up to encourage the
audience to watch squid Game, but turn off the subtitles
and instead of reading in English what's going on, just
(09:21):
learn Korean. That's what they'd like you to do. That's
their newest push.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Who's asked for this.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
This is a combined effort from the wildly popular app
Duo Lingo. It's a language learning app that's incredibly popular
with the green owl El BuJo Verde, and they say, yeah,
try it. Download Duo Lingo, take a couple lessons there
(09:49):
in Korean, and go ahead and turn off the subtitles.
It's gonna make for a much more play because I
would assume Korean is an incredibly easy language time, especially
with writing and reading portion.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I mean, you know, whenever we watch the Korean movies,
which are good, Yeah, there's kind of like a mocking like.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
To it, you know, like, yeah, yes, I would say,
be incredibly thankful that English speakers that subscribe to Netflix
are so entertained by Korean shows, films, and reality TV
(10:32):
that they just watch it with the subtitle soign.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
It feels like it'd be a lot harder to learn
Korean than just Hey, I watch this show, and now
you know, look at me, I'm selling oil in South
Korea and soul. You know, it just doesn't.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You know what I mean, exactly right.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It doesn't feel like it lines up right.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I'm content to not know the words to this K
pop song and just kind of groove with the beat
and whatever the hell they're saying supposed to having to
learn Korean so I can sing along.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
A lot of the transfer portal stuff is like the same, Matt,
it just doesn't line up. You know, we're not speaking
the same language, right, he said, do you speak up
my language? Because some schools are on the Quarter system
and some are on the Semester system. So the portal
opens up at those two different times to accommodate the
quarter and the Semester. I got you, So that's why
they do it. So like you can't tell Ohio.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
State corrections and retractions.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
You can't tell Ohio State in Bama that they need
to be on the quarter system instead of the Semester system,
because they'll be.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Like I can't tell UCLA they have to be on
the Semester system and not the Quarter system.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Joe Klatt might be able to.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
He could probably pull that off.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Joel Clatt also wants Army and Navy to play to
start the year and not at the end.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
He's no, why not change a tradition that's been around
for one hundred years.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
It's got to polish his sword and go over to
Annapolis until.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I believe that would probably be met with the same
sort of reception as Chuck Norris met that Russian agent
at a mall in Invasion USA.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I will say nay, I would say Matt that I
wish that the Squid Game people would just be happy
that anybody's watching UH and reading the subtitles. It's ex
to trying to get me to learn a foreign language.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Wow. This incredibly successful Korean show has managed to expand
to the international market due to subtitles Let's be thankful
and not greedy. You dirty, dirty el Susio, Susio Susio.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, dare you You're green owl of dirt. And now,
now that being said, Matt, if I am going to
learn an Eastern Asian language, unlike a guy like Sondheimer
who obviously wants to learn Thai because he goes to
Thailand all the time. I yes, I would want to
learn Japan. They're Japanese, the language of Japan.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
So you can watch Dragon Ball Z without any subtitles.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, way better. And I would also like to be
a favorite son like Daniel LaRusso and Dave Roberts. I
would like to be received in Okinawa.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Fairpoint, fairpoint, Ronnie. This is the song of the day. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
New West are a four piece Canadian band from Toronto

Josh Lewin and Tracy Murray, who will have your Bruins
pregame show coming up at six o'clock.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
You're gonna do it now, Pee, I mean, Matt.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
It's your big gun. You want to shoot it off.
You shoot it off.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Whenever you will shoot it. Let's shoot it. Why not?
Why make him wait? It's not how we roll.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
That's how we roll.

Carson Palmer coming up next hour. Top Story of the day,
next deodorant, hair, body wash, and spray scragging everybody. Welcome back,
(15:14):
Petrison Money Show. Happy to be with you. Thursday, We're
live at BJ's in West co Two to four thirty
before Clippers basketball. I remember this holiday season went a
great time to relax with the family. Don't stress out
about cooking. BJ's Restaurant in brew houses there for you,
with locations throughout LA and Orange County. Bjys home of
the award winning handcrafted beers, the signature deep dish pizzas,
(15:37):
and the world famous Puzzookie dessert. It is now time
for the top story of the day, yachay of it.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
So I was watching a little bit of that Clipper
game last night they blew off the Jazz on Fan
Duel Sports. Was well, I had a little I was
watching the Monday that football. I was watching the Fan
Duel Sports, so I was kind of flipping back and
forth between the Bear and the Sam Darnold game, and
then I was popping on over there to the Fan
Duel TV to see the clips and the Jazz and
(16:10):
it's a bit of an exhibition. Clippers really put it
on them. And then this morning, as I was trying
to figure out what we talk about, like you know,
we kind of already did the football thing, and it's
not really fun to talk about the charges right now
until Thursday at football Wash, whatever happened on Sunday away
that sort of thing. Rams played last Thursday, so that
was kind of old. And I came to this conclusion.
(16:31):
I read a quote, a couple quotes in the recap
from our man BT Broderick Turner in the LA Times
and started digging around because I decided like, you cannot
continue to behave this way and have this be a
viable league. So and it's funny because as we got
in the prep zone, you had brought this up before
(16:52):
I had mentioned, hey, what do you think about talking
about this as one of the top stories, and it
was on your mind as well. And that's ratings and
what is happening to the NBA. And I'm just like,
people can't be watching this. They just there's no way.
And it turns out, yeah, they're not. The NBA ratings.
The NBA ratings are down twenty eight percent. Ooh, twenty
eight And you don't have to be an old man
(17:13):
like me to remember when the NBA was as sending
at such a rate.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Everybody wanted to hire knows Faratu as their permissioner.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Like everybody was crapping on hockey and crapping on soccer,
and obviously crapping on baseball was the one that was
really wearing it. It's like baseball wishes they were basketball
will that is no longer the case. Baseball is incredibly popular.
Basketball is becoming more and more unpopular. And why is it. Well,
let's not forget about what made them popular. Like what
(17:45):
people were saying, Oh, this is the David Stern and
Adam Silver, they figured it out. You know, kids don't
need to live in Oklahoma City to be a Kevin
Durant fan. They don't need to live in Cleveland to
be Lebron. Now they're just rooting for whatever team. I mean,
they're not rooting for teams. They're rooting for guys. And
when Durant leaves for Golden State, they go with him.
When when Lebron leaves for Miami, they go with him.
(18:07):
And people in flyover states are like, oh, I'm a
Denver guy because I like Carmelo Anthony, or I'm a
Sixers guy because I like Alan Iverson. And the league
was puffing its chest out and saying, oh yeah, we
cracked the code. We don't need New York in the finals.
We don't need LA in the finals. We're fine with Orlando.
They got Shack and Penny. People are watching Miami Lebron, James,
(18:28):
Dwayne Waite. Obviously, Kobe and Shack in LA helped a lot,
but fans were moving to the player, not the team,
and that meant a recession proof style model to guaranteed
you eyeballs even if a sub optimal market made it
on the Marquis for your signature event, Oklahoma City, no worries.
We got Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook and James Pardon Harden,
(18:50):
Pardon to Harden. And then it's wow.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I mean he's done some strip club eaton, but I
don't know what he's done wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
And then it came crashing twenty eight pay you do
you keep the main thing, the main thing? Twenty eight percent,
a quarter plus of the viewers are gone. Why do
this today? Because the one thing that was supposed to
help remedy or they had hoped would remedy the malays
of the regular season was the NBA Cup. Did you
know that tonight is the final? The NBA Cup Final?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I know who's going to be there, Mayor Karen Bass.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
That's right, because she wants to congratulate the Lakers on
their NBA Cup. Who cares if you got booted in
the first round of the playoffs and a gentleman's suite,
you made the NBA Cup. It was celebrated last year
Yakas Lebron James and Karen Bass was the mayor, and
the Lakers were in it for this year, even with
two of the top ten players in the league, players
that are supposed to make the NBA recession proof as
(19:47):
it comes as it relates to markets. No Lakers, no Celtics,
no Knicks, no Bulls, no Warriors, no Worries, no big
deal if we got Milwaukee in Oklahoma City because we've
got Giannis and we've got s Shay Gildess Alexander, two
guys that are perennial top five MVP candidates. The NBA
(20:07):
doesn't care. They don't care about the ratings. They already
got their seventy six billion dollar rights deal done and
squared away, and that was such a coup that after
Turner balked at the asking price because of the declining ratings,
the moment they lost the package. People freaked out so
hard they freaking filed an injunction and took them to court.
Had to find a compromise thanks to a matching clause
(20:31):
to get in on it, to get on the one
point seven seven million viewers on average, one point seven
seven million viewers on average per game. That's like, it's
like one tenth of How I Met Your Mother? Is
is what the NBA has a following. It's terrible, but
(20:53):
has a following it does. It's why I used it.
Very popular show about ten million people watching it the NBA.
When you price in what the network's paid for the
right to broadcast NBA games, it turns out to be
one of the biggest ripoffs out there. On average, it
costs twelve dollars per viewer to broadcast an NBA game.
Twelve dollars. They are not getting ad revenue equal to
(21:17):
twelve dollars per person to put their eyeballs on there.
I know that sounds weird, so to put it in perspective,
think about how much networks pay for the NFL the
Christmas Day games. There's two of them. Netflix paid one
hundred and fifty million dollars for those two games. They
paid seventy five million dollars per game and they are
(21:39):
averaging about three dollars per viewer. That's how dramatic the
difference is for a product that's one hundred and fifty
million dollars for two games to what the NBA is selling. Wow,
and yeah it's it's drum endlock. The NBA is king.
We get that, but to pay the.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Guy reach one hundred million dollars in a cod track.
So a million people are watching, right, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
And you know some people are they're saying this residual COVID,
Black Lives matter, two woke players grabbing a mic and
delivering messages before the game, and social initiatives plastered on
the court and on the jerseys. And if you were
for that, great, if you didn't want it, great, But
they're kind of gone, like all that stuff has disappeared,
(22:24):
and yet the ratings continue to go down down. So
what is it? Clippers last night? This is this is
how I came to this conclusion. No Kawhi Leonard, but
he's back at practice, and in reading BT's capsule his recap,
he wrote that Kawhi was seen by the Beat writers
(22:46):
walking past the media room carrying a plate of food nice.
He looked at the collection.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
You've got to eat, you know, you got to have
strength to.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Play, And as he passed through the media room, he
looked at the assembled media, of which Mark Medina, who
joined us yesterday was included, and said, quote, what up,
what up? What up? And that was it?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Okay, Well that's you know, that's more than he's been doing.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
That is all they got. They were not allowed to
ask questions.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
How many what was it?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Three? What up? What up? What up? Didn't say I'm
feeling better. Hey, I hope on the next road trip
I can. I can join the team. I miss him.
Uh No, you know it's getting better, but I might
not be back till next year. Guys are playing their
asses off though, love watching them. How great is the intoit? Though? Man,
I can't wait to get on the floor and feel
the energy from the crowd and play my first game here.
(23:41):
This is unlike any other arena in the NBA. You
got to see it. You tell the people they got
to see it. Forty nine point two million dollars for
the next each of the next three seasons, three hundred
and twenty five million dollars in career earnings, and the
media gets what up? What up? What up?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Maybe the three in the three different what ups, there's
a message within that, like three days, three games, three weeks.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
They're unrelatable. The NBA player has been given so much
money and so much freedom to do whatever the hell
they want, with their dumbass tunnel walk fashion show, with
their garbage, self important podcasts, with their production companies, their
two billion dollar shoe collections. They're fluorescent green Lamborghinis honking
(24:34):
at kids trying to get him to stop for an
autographed and them not even rolling down the window, just
beeping so they get out of their way. You got
Steph and you got Giannis, and that's it. Those are
the only two likable superstars in the league. Who else
does the average fan say, man, the guy bus his ass.
(24:54):
I like the way he plays, I love his personality,
like the way he engages with the fans. Get me wrong.
There's very likable guys Sega, the aforementioned Shay Gilges, Alexander
seems very likable, Brunson, Anthony Edwards. But they're not superstars.
They're just not. And then when you look at who's
making the money, forty four point nine million dollars per year.
(25:17):
Four Scottie Barnes, Franz Wagner, Cade Cunningham. You could not
pick those guys out of a lineup, and they are
the eighth highest paid players in the NBA got Tea
Barnes and on top of the players making an obscene
amount of money and not having any interest in pushing
the product or becoming superstars that are supposed to be
(25:38):
the phrase of the face of the franchise when they
get paid like that, there's this. As I wrap this up,
because here's the biggest kick in the balls. Tylu a
championship coach asked about Kawhi coming back, and this is
how the players have way too much power and it's
bad management. Kawhi questions for Lou come ask him when
he might be back. Quote, you need to talk to them.
(25:59):
To Lawrence Frank, I don't want to say the wrong thing.
You're trying to get me in trouble man, trying to
get a head coach in trouble for asking when the
superstar player is going to be coming back. That's what this.
Kawhi Leonard's going to be pissed because the head coach says,
this is what always progressing when he thinks he could
be back. That's why nobody's watching.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
That's why I always think about something. I think about
something you said all the time a couple of weeks ago,
and it was about a guy in the bath. No,
it was about Lebron, Like how literally spectacular and inhuman
Lebron's career has been and how great he is and
all the things he's accomplished and everybody hates him. Yeah, like,
(26:41):
how have you how how have you accomplished that? And
basically they've kind of done that as a league.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yea, how hard that is to do. These are the
best athletes in the world. It is one of the
most interesting games to watch, and they have allowed the
players to destroy it because the.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Three being shot by non repoint shooters, the lack No
one wants to play center anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
No one wants to play defense. Gone, yeah, No one
wants to bang underneath. No one wants to take a
hard file. Everyone wants to shoot twenty eight foot threes.
You have destroyed your product because you are terrified of
the players, who are nothing without your league. The league
is nothing without the players. By the way, the players
are nothing without the league, so you do have some
control over that, and instead they've ruined it all. But hey,
(27:28):
I love your sweater with the sleeves that are dragging
on the ground as you're as you're walking in And
what a cool Bentley you have that you almost ran
over that kid that wanted giautograph. Way to go, Petro
some money. AM five to seventy LA Sports Live Everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app Thursday, we'd love to see you
West Covina BJ's Restaurant in brew House West Co right
(27:50):
off the ten of Baranka two to four thirty pm.
And remember, if you can't see us on Thursday, relax
with the family, no stress of cooking. BJ's rest running
brew house locations all over LA and Ocbj's the home
of award winning handcrafted beer, signature deep dish pizzas, and
of course, above all else, the most famous dessert in
all the world. To hell with your flaky pastry, Napoleon
(28:14):
the Pazookie. So go ahead and throw one of those
on your plate.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Now, man, I don't know how you think about this.
This is a one of our fast food slash quick
serve updates that you usually like to do, but this
crossed the news today and it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Taco Bell.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
What are your favorite places, Matt. We all know about
Taco Bell.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Oh, we love the Taco Bell.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
When the chips are down, we like to go to
Taco Bell. And we know that when you add supreme
to taco or burrito that means sour cream, olives, and tomatoes.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Oh, freshly chopped tomatoes, a nice dollop of sour cream.
I'm a big fan of the supreme.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Taco Bell will soon add a new item to the
menu that might catch some customers by surprise, but maybe
some not so much because a lot of the Taco
Bells in southern California, at least a couple. The one
down on Western and Palasburthy's Drive is connected to the kernel.
But they are going to offer crispy chicken Nuggets nationwide
(29:23):
starting on Thursday, the same day you'll be calling that
Charger game against the Broncos, and the same day that
Kates and I will be in West Covine at the.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
BJAS Chicken Nugs.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Chicken Nuggets and they'll remain on the menu for a
limited time and while supplies last. Zestyjlapano buttermilk flavor is
the breading with a blend of breadcrumbs and crunchy tortilla chips.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Seems a bit odd.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Three Dipping Sauces ally has thrown their hat into the
ring Hidden Valley Fire Ranch Sauce Bell Sauce, which apparently
has a brassy taste.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Well, I love a brassy taste. I mean, I hope
it tastes like a bell. I like to lick a bell.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
You got brass balls, matt and Jolopano honey mustard. Those
sauces will debut at the same time as the chicken nuggets,
which makes sense, you think.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah, I guess that's how you get away with it, right, Yeah,
I know, chicken nuggets aren't what you think of when
you think of Mexican Fair. But you also don't really
think of Taco Bell when you think of Mexican Fair.
You just think Taco Bell is kind of its own
type of food, at least I do.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
You don't think of it as like the same as
going to like Taco's Super Gaito. Turns out, no, turns
out the they don't have Langua or cabasa or anything
like that.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
The Chiloopa, the Double Decker taco the Mexican pizza. The
Mexican pizza.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Totally Mexican. They got holopeno buttermilk flavor marinade. They have
breadcrumbs and crunchy tortilla chips. That's super Mexican chicken.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
You know who wants this, Tim Kates. This has got
Tim Kates written all over it.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Well, they tested this not in Burbank, where you'd think
they would because they know Tim Kates is there. They
tested it in Minneapolis, in Houston last year, earlier in
the year, and eighty seven percent of the Taco Bell
restaurants are here in the US, and they're all in
on this chicken nugget endeavor lanes. Are you excited about this?
Speaker 4 (31:36):
I'm sort of in I at least try it, Yeah
for sure.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, five nuggets are going to cost you four dollars
one dipping sauce. For six ninety nine, you get your
ten nuggets and your two sauces.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Well, I'm glad they were able to test the refined
Mexican food palets of the folks in Minneapolis to declare
whether or not.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh what about Houston, what's that chopped liver? Matt?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Well, you know Houston makes a little sense. You got
the text mets down there in Houston, so they may
know their way around compared.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
To southern California. But dug food man Arizona Mexican food
kicks it in the nuts too.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
And don't get us started on New Mexico Mexican.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Food that makes all they do is eat beads and turquoise.
That's racpeteit. That's why they're so damned crazy. So that
is the news about Taco Bell. Taco Bell to add
chicken nuggets to the menu, but it's allly for a time, just.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Like the cheese at toastata that I consumed, that was
one of the most disgusting, oh come on, ever ingested
in mind.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
But the dorino thing worked that.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
I agree that right, completely permanent, you know, and anoscaco
was delicious.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Because usually chicken nuggets are something you order because you
need you need somebody to be appeased, you know, some
idiot that won't eat anything else, like a child, And
this feels like, well, they're not going to be appeased
with this holopanio marinade and these tortilla chips all crushed
all over it.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I think that, like you said, when you when you
do the you know, small amount of nugs for a
low price with one sauce. It's like, I'll take the
double beef burrito Supreme. Let me get a soft tacos. Oh,
you know what, let me try those four nuggets there
with the the butterhellipanio thing. Let's let's go that and
go just it feels like it's it replaces like the
(33:22):
cinnamon crispas or the or the churo bites that that
you would just add on at the end of the order,
not realizing you're adding an extra seven hundred calories to
your gut.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Three dipping sauces, Pree Valley Ranch Fire Sauce, Bell Sauce
for the brassy balls in you, and Holopano Honeybuster Merry
Christmas from Taco Bell. Will be right back with more

But Carson is all man and he will join us
in the final hour. And then the flapping of the
flag to change a young man's trajectory of his life
from the draft, and then we play the winds of Change.
We have all the different flapping sounds on the Pettersen
Money Show. Not to mention the transfer Mortal sound, which
is filled with USC players. Pretty much everybody that plays
(02:05):
on the team USC football's falling apart.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Matt Either the bear, Alexander One's the best, the Georgia tattoo,
the USC twitter avatar, and the Penn State uniform.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
It's all part of his story. Yeah, it's all part
of his story, man, But it is really an exodus.
I mean Lincoln Riley's big recruits at USC in his
first two recruiting classes Demonti Jackson in twenty twenty one.
The guys from twenty twenty one Demonty Jackson, Zion Branch,
(02:39):
Ray Leak Brown, CJ. Williams, and Fabian ross Of all transferred.
Twenty twenty two, Zachariat Branch, Malachi Nelson, Deuce Robinson, Malachi Lemon,
or excuse me, Mackay Lemon, Brayln Shelby, Tac Curtis, Wrynton Joyner,
the running back Elijah Page, Uh Crawford, and Jacoby Lane
(03:04):
all transferred. Jacoby and now the OC and offensive line
coach are going to Purdue to be the new OC
for Barry Oh to get into that big Indiana football tussle.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
We're so interesting on everybody knows the hotbit of college
football is the state of Indiana.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Now, some might say USC football is falling apart Matt Well,
New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
What does it say, though, if you can't keep the
wide receiver and you're a guy who loves to throw
the football and never run it, and you can't keep
your three top wide receivers.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Those were all his recruits like those were his big
classes and they they're all gone. Does your mind eyes
doesn't inspire a lot of loyalty, it seems.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Zachar Riot Branch is one of the best receivers and
punt returns in football.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
The both the Branch brothers are gone, The branches are broken.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
How do you not keep that guy around? He's like
a pillar on your offense.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Like the meat falls off the bone at the debris
sandwich that Ronnie eats in New Orleans on Chapatoulas. USC
football is falling apart, crumbling in your mouth.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You don't need teeth to eat that meat.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
You don't need teeth to eat our beef. Word of
the day, everybody with the college football theme continuing word
of the.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Day, his words the word of the day tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
It's so fine, Matt. It's no longer Gronk or Jimmy
Kimmel or anybody. It's the art of Sport La Bowl,
Gronk oh okay, art of Sport La Bowl. And then
Gronk's gonna be there too. It's kind of like Prime
(04:49):
Time with Pat O'Brien featuring t Hartman, with perhaps also
maybe Victor Brick Victor Chicks it's you and l V,
who's still in the top twenty five versus Cow. It's
n LB. What's that?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
It's gonna be a great game.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Oh, with Grog and Steve Brenner involved, Matt, how could
it not be?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Kidney.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You and lv's ten and three runner up to Boise
in the Mountain West. Their coach is gone. They're playing
their second straight bowl game after going nine years without
playing in one. You and lv's bury Oedam is gone.
Dal Alexander, who coached at SC when I was there,
has been named the interim head coach for the bowl game,
(05:34):
coach dell An Laog. The Rebels already have a new
coach in place, Dan Mullen, who was hired this month
from Florida and Mississippi State. CAL, as you know, is
six and six overall. Their quarterback Forty Mendez is going
to miss the bowl game because he's entered the transfer portal.
Chandler Rogers is expected to take the starting role for
(05:57):
CAL in the bowl game. He's not as good put.
The tickets are still there at LA bowlgame dot Com.
Maybe Ricky White's gonna block another pot, Matt.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
It's unfathomable, right, like How how is sport could sabotage
itself so dramatically and not have any answer like, yeah, well,
we're just gonna do this transfer portal thing before the
bowl games, even though we kind of have one of
these every single night in a sports thirsty society, We're
(06:31):
gonna make sure we do everything we possibly can to
minimize the quality of the game by opening the transfer
portal and having starting quarterbacks not play and coaches not coach.
This makes perfect sense to each and every one else.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I think it's a great idea. I love what they're doing.
I love the confusion. I love the drones flying everywhere
around college football that nobody knows what they are. I
love mister Jim's and England, which was forum adjacent that
ran the ad Matt that you saw in the Lakers
program for decades that said you'd need no teeth to eat.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Our beefs our beefs.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
You guys have clearly not read Joel Klat's Twitter in
the last twenty minutes because he has the easiest fix.
This's hot take season for Joel to this December transfer
portal madness is finishing the college football season prior to
the start of the spring semester. We should be crowding
a champ near January one, and then we could have
an eight to ten day window for transfers after that.
So he just solved it. So, I don't know what
(07:31):
you guys are talking about, complain about, there's a mess.
Joel just fixed it.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
It is.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
It is a bit weird that you have the conference
championship games or the conclusion of the regular season, and
then the teams that are participating in the playoffs don't
play again for a month.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, it's almost like chaos. Yeah, a bunch of people
running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Does seem like you ought to play those games, you know,
a week later, or maybe two at the most, not four.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
The greatest thing about college football is the confusion.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
It's the chaos and the confusion.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's time for the number of the day up number.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Of the day. Number of the day is forty as
in forty percent with the release of Squid Game on
Netflix and season two is about to arrive here in
a couple of days December twenty sixth.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Now is that the one that's a joke? Like it's
like where it's like a game show where everybody's just
messing around like real people. Or is it the one
that's like a drama where people die.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
That's it's the one where you're in the game show
and you realize, oh wow, I'm not just here to
win money. I'm here to die either. I win all
this money, like the one with actors. Yes, yes, yes, yes, actors,
Yes exactly. It is a serial. It is not a
because remember you did a report on the physical one
hundred right exactly, which turned out to be terrible. First
(09:00):
couple weeks are good and then it just fell apart.
Netflix and Duo Lingo have teamed up to encourage the
audience to watch squid Game, but turn off the subtitles
and instead of reading in English what's going on, just
(09:21):
learn Korean. That's what they'd like you to do. That's
their newest push.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Who's asked for this.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
This is a combined effort from the wildly popular app
Duo Lingo. It's a language learning app that's incredibly popular
with the green owl El BuJo Verde, and they say, yeah,
try it. Download Duo Lingo, take a couple lessons there
(09:49):
in Korean, and go ahead and turn off the subtitles.
It's gonna make for a much more play because I
would assume Korean is an incredibly easy language time, especially
with writing and reading portion.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I mean, you know, whenever we watch the Korean movies,
which are good, Yeah, there's kind of like a mocking like.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
To it, you know, like, yeah, yes, I would say,
be incredibly thankful that English speakers that subscribe to Netflix
are so entertained by Korean shows, films, and reality TV
(10:32):
that they just watch it with the subtitle soign.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
It feels like it'd be a lot harder to learn
Korean than just Hey, I watch this show, and now
you know, look at me, I'm selling oil in South
Korea and soul. You know, it just doesn't.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You know what I mean, exactly right.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It doesn't feel like it lines up right.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I'm content to not know the words to this K
pop song and just kind of groove with the beat
and whatever the hell they're saying supposed to having to
learn Korean so I can sing along.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
A lot of the transfer portal stuff is like the same, Matt,
it just doesn't line up. You know, we're not speaking
the same language, right, he said, do you speak up
my language? Because some schools are on the Quarter system
and some are on the Semester system. So the portal
opens up at those two different times to accommodate the
quarter and the Semester. I got you, So that's why
they do it. So like you can't tell Ohio.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
State corrections and retractions.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
You can't tell Ohio State in Bama that they need
to be on the quarter system instead of the Semester system,
because they'll be.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Like I can't tell UCLA they have to be on
the Semester system and not the Quarter system.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Joe Klatt might be able to.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
He could probably pull that off.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Joel Clatt also wants Army and Navy to play to
start the year and not at the end.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
He's no, why not change a tradition that's been around
for one hundred years.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
It's got to polish his sword and go over to
Annapolis until.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I believe that would probably be met with the same
sort of reception as Chuck Norris met that Russian agent
at a mall in Invasion USA.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I will say nay, I would say Matt that I
wish that the Squid Game people would just be happy
that anybody's watching UH and reading the subtitles. It's ex
to trying to get me to learn a foreign language.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Wow. This incredibly successful Korean show has managed to expand
to the international market due to subtitles Let's be thankful
and not greedy. You dirty, dirty el Susio, Susio Susio.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, dare you You're green owl of dirt. And now,
now that being said, Matt, if I am going to
learn an Eastern Asian language, unlike a guy like Sondheimer
who obviously wants to learn Thai because he goes to
Thailand all the time. I yes, I would want to
learn Japan. They're Japanese, the language of Japan.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
So you can watch Dragon Ball Z without any subtitles.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, way better. And I would also like to be
a favorite son like Daniel LaRusso and Dave Roberts. I
would like to be received in Okinawa.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Fairpoint, fairpoint, Ronnie. This is the song of the day. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:30):

You shoot it off.
Speaker 3 (14:07):

Enjoy the La Gronk Bowl and uh enjoy learning Korean.
Carson Palmer coming up next hour. Top Story of the day,
next deodorant, hair, body wash, and spray scragging everybody. Welcome back,
(15:14):
Petrison Money Show. Happy to be with you. Thursday, We're
live at BJ's in West co Two to four thirty
before Clippers basketball. I remember this holiday season went a
great time to relax with the family. Don't stress out
about cooking. BJ's Restaurant in brew houses there for you,
with locations throughout LA and Orange County. Bjys home of
the award winning handcrafted beers, the signature deep dish pizzas,
(15:37):
and the world famous Puzzookie dessert. It is now time
for the top story of the day, yachay of it.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
So I was watching a little bit of that Clipper
game last night they blew off the Jazz on Fan
Duel Sports. Was well, I had a little I was
watching the Monday that football. I was watching the Fan
Duel Sports, so I was kind of flipping back and
forth between the Bear and the Sam Darnold game, and
then I was popping on over there to the Fan
Duel TV to see the clips and the Jazz and
(16:10):
it's a bit of an exhibition. Clippers really put it
on them. And then this morning, as I was trying
to figure out what we talk about, like you know,
we kind of already did the football thing, and it's
not really fun to talk about the charges right now
until Thursday at football Wash, whatever happened on Sunday away
that sort of thing. Rams played last Thursday, so that
was kind of old. And I came to this conclusion.
(16:31):
I read a quote, a couple quotes in the recap
from our man BT Broderick Turner in the LA Times
and started digging around because I decided like, you cannot
continue to behave this way and have this be a
viable league. So and it's funny because as we got
in the prep zone, you had brought this up before
(16:52):
I had mentioned, hey, what do you think about talking
about this as one of the top stories, and it
was on your mind as well. And that's ratings and
what is happening to the NBA. And I'm just like,
people can't be watching this. They just there's no way.
And it turns out, yeah, they're not. The NBA ratings.
The NBA ratings are down twenty eight percent. Ooh, twenty
eight And you don't have to be an old man
(17:13):
like me to remember when the NBA was as sending
at such a rate.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Everybody wanted to hire knows Faratu as their permissioner.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Like everybody was crapping on hockey and crapping on soccer,
and obviously crapping on baseball was the one that was
really wearing it. It's like baseball wishes they were basketball
will that is no longer the case. Baseball is incredibly popular.
Basketball is becoming more and more unpopular. And why is it. Well,
let's not forget about what made them popular. Like what
(17:45):
people were saying, Oh, this is the David Stern and
Adam Silver, they figured it out. You know, kids don't
need to live in Oklahoma City to be a Kevin
Durant fan. They don't need to live in Cleveland to
be Lebron. Now they're just rooting for whatever team. I mean,
they're not rooting for teams. They're rooting for guys. And
when Durant leaves for Golden State, they go with him.
When when Lebron leaves for Miami, they go with him.
(18:07):
And people in flyover states are like, oh, I'm a
Denver guy because I like Carmelo Anthony, or I'm a
Sixers guy because I like Alan Iverson. And the league
was puffing its chest out and saying, oh yeah, we
cracked the code. We don't need New York in the finals.
We don't need LA in the finals. We're fine with Orlando.
They got Shack and Penny. People are watching Miami Lebron, James,
(18:28):
Dwayne Waite. Obviously, Kobe and Shack in LA helped a lot,
but fans were moving to the player, not the team,
and that meant a recession proof style model to guaranteed
you eyeballs even if a sub optimal market made it
on the Marquis for your signature event, Oklahoma City, no worries.
We got Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook and James Pardon Harden,
(18:50):
Pardon to Harden. And then it's wow.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I mean he's done some strip club eaton, but I
don't know what he's done wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
And then it came crashing twenty eight pay you do
you keep the main thing, the main thing? Twenty eight percent,
a quarter plus of the viewers are gone. Why do
this today? Because the one thing that was supposed to
help remedy or they had hoped would remedy the malays
of the regular season was the NBA Cup. Did you
know that tonight is the final? The NBA Cup Final?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I know who's going to be there, Mayor Karen Bass.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
That's right, because she wants to congratulate the Lakers on
their NBA Cup. Who cares if you got booted in
the first round of the playoffs and a gentleman's suite,
you made the NBA Cup. It was celebrated last year
Yakas Lebron James and Karen Bass was the mayor, and
the Lakers were in it for this year, even with
two of the top ten players in the league, players
that are supposed to make the NBA recession proof as
(19:47):
it comes as it relates to markets. No Lakers, no Celtics,
no Knicks, no Bulls, no Warriors, no Worries, no big
deal if we got Milwaukee in Oklahoma City because we've
got Giannis and we've got s Shay Gildess Alexander, two
guys that are perennial top five MVP candidates. The NBA
(20:07):
doesn't care. They don't care about the ratings. They already
got their seventy six billion dollar rights deal done and
squared away, and that was such a coup that after
Turner balked at the asking price because of the declining ratings,
the moment they lost the package. People freaked out so
hard they freaking filed an injunction and took them to court.
Had to find a compromise thanks to a matching clause
(20:31):
to get in on it, to get on the one
point seven seven million viewers on average, one point seven
seven million viewers on average per game. That's like, it's
like one tenth of How I Met Your Mother? Is
is what the NBA has a following. It's terrible, but
(20:53):
has a following it does. It's why I used it.
Very popular show about ten million people watching it the NBA.
When you price in what the network's paid for the
right to broadcast NBA games, it turns out to be
one of the biggest ripoffs out there. On average, it
costs twelve dollars per viewer to broadcast an NBA game.
Twelve dollars. They are not getting ad revenue equal to
(21:17):
twelve dollars per person to put their eyeballs on there.
I know that sounds weird, so to put it in perspective,
think about how much networks pay for the NFL the
Christmas Day games. There's two of them. Netflix paid one
hundred and fifty million dollars for those two games. They
paid seventy five million dollars per game and they are
(21:39):
averaging about three dollars per viewer. That's how dramatic the
difference is for a product that's one hundred and fifty
million dollars for two games to what the NBA is selling. Wow,
and yeah it's it's drum endlock. The NBA is king.
We get that, but to pay the.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Guy reach one hundred million dollars in a cod track.
So a million people are watching, right, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
And you know some people are they're saying this residual COVID,
Black Lives matter, two woke players grabbing a mic and
delivering messages before the game, and social initiatives plastered on
the court and on the jerseys. And if you were
for that, great, if you didn't want it, great, But
they're kind of gone, like all that stuff has disappeared,
(22:24):
and yet the ratings continue to go down down. So
what is it? Clippers last night? This is this is
how I came to this conclusion. No Kawhi Leonard, but
he's back at practice, and in reading BT's capsule his recap,
he wrote that Kawhi was seen by the Beat writers
(22:46):
walking past the media room carrying a plate of food nice.
He looked at the collection.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
You've got to eat, you know, you got to have
strength to.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Play, And as he passed through the media room, he
looked at the assembled media, of which Mark Medina, who
joined us yesterday was included, and said, quote, what up,
what up? What up? And that was it?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Okay, Well that's you know, that's more than he's been doing.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
That is all they got. They were not allowed to
ask questions.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
How many what was it?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Three? What up? What up? What up? Didn't say I'm
feeling better. Hey, I hope on the next road trip
I can. I can join the team. I miss him.
Uh No, you know it's getting better, but I might
not be back till next year. Guys are playing their
asses off though, love watching them. How great is the intoit? Though? Man,
I can't wait to get on the floor and feel
the energy from the crowd and play my first game here.
(23:41):
This is unlike any other arena in the NBA. You
got to see it. You tell the people they got
to see it. Forty nine point two million dollars for
the next each of the next three seasons, three hundred
and twenty five million dollars in career earnings, and the
media gets what up? What up? What up?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Maybe the three in the three different what ups, there's
a message within that, like three days, three games, three weeks.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
They're unrelatable. The NBA player has been given so much
money and so much freedom to do whatever the hell
they want, with their dumbass tunnel walk fashion show, with
their garbage, self important podcasts, with their production companies, their
two billion dollar shoe collections. They're fluorescent green Lamborghinis honking
(24:34):
at kids trying to get him to stop for an
autographed and them not even rolling down the window, just
beeping so they get out of their way. You got
Steph and you got Giannis, and that's it. Those are
the only two likable superstars in the league. Who else
does the average fan say, man, the guy bus his ass.
(24:54):
I like the way he plays, I love his personality,
like the way he engages with the fans. Get me wrong.
There's very likable guys Sega, the aforementioned Shay Gilges, Alexander
seems very likable, Brunson, Anthony Edwards. But they're not superstars.
They're just not. And then when you look at who's
making the money, forty four point nine million dollars per year.
(25:17):
Four Scottie Barnes, Franz Wagner, Cade Cunningham. You could not
pick those guys out of a lineup, and they are
the eighth highest paid players in the NBA got Tea
Barnes and on top of the players making an obscene
amount of money and not having any interest in pushing
the product or becoming superstars that are supposed to be
(25:38):
the phrase of the face of the franchise when they
get paid like that, there's this. As I wrap this up,
because here's the biggest kick in the balls. Tylu a
championship coach asked about Kawhi coming back, and this is
how the players have way too much power and it's
bad management. Kawhi questions for Lou come ask him when
he might be back. Quote, you need to talk to them.
(25:59):
To Lawrence Frank, I don't want to say the wrong thing.
You're trying to get me in trouble man, trying to
get a head coach in trouble for asking when the
superstar player is going to be coming back. That's what this.
Kawhi Leonard's going to be pissed because the head coach says,
this is what always progressing when he thinks he could
be back. That's why nobody's watching.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
That's why I always think about something. I think about
something you said all the time a couple of weeks ago,
and it was about a guy in the bath. No,
it was about Lebron, Like how literally spectacular and inhuman
Lebron's career has been and how great he is and
all the things he's accomplished and everybody hates him. Yeah, like,
(26:41):
how have you how how have you accomplished that? And
basically they've kind of done that as a league.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yea, how hard that is to do. These are the
best athletes in the world. It is one of the
most interesting games to watch, and they have allowed the
players to destroy it because the.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Three being shot by non repoint shooters, the lack No
one wants to play center anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
No one wants to play defense. Gone, yeah, No one
wants to bang underneath. No one wants to take a
hard file. Everyone wants to shoot twenty eight foot threes.
You have destroyed your product because you are terrified of
the players, who are nothing without your league. The league
is nothing without the players. By the way, the players
are nothing without the league, so you do have some
control over that, and instead they've ruined it all. But hey,
(27:28):
I love your sweater with the sleeves that are dragging
on the ground as you're as you're walking in And
what a cool Bentley you have that you almost ran
over that kid that wanted giautograph. Way to go, Petro
some money. AM five to seventy LA Sports Live Everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app Thursday, we'd love to see you

(27:50):

(28:14):
the Pazookie. So go ahead and throw one of those
on your plate.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Now, man, I don't know how you think about this.
This is a one of our fast food slash quick
serve updates that you usually like to do, but this
crossed the news today and it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Taco Bell.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
What are your favorite places, Matt. We all know about
Taco Bell.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Oh, we love the Taco Bell.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
When the chips are down, we like to go to
Taco Bell. And we know that when you add supreme
to taco or burrito that means sour cream, olives, and tomatoes.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Oh, freshly chopped tomatoes, a nice dollop of sour cream.
I'm a big fan of the supreme.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Taco Bell will soon add a new item to the
menu that might catch some customers by surprise, but maybe
some not so much because a lot of the Taco
Bells in southern California, at least a couple. The one
down on Western and Palasburthy's Drive is connected to the kernel.
But they are going to offer crispy chicken Nuggets nationwide
(29:23):
starting on Thursday, the same day you'll be calling that
Charger game against the Broncos, and the same day that
Kates and I will be in West Covine at the.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
BJAS Chicken Nugs.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Chicken Nuggets and they'll remain on the menu for a
limited time and while supplies last. Zestyjlapano buttermilk flavor is
the breading with a blend of breadcrumbs and crunchy tortilla chips.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Seems a bit odd.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Three Dipping Sauces ally has thrown their hat into the
ring Hidden Valley Fire Ranch Sauce Bell Sauce, which apparently
has a brassy taste.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Well, I love a brassy taste. I mean, I hope
it tastes like a bell. I like to lick a bell.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
You got brass balls, matt and Jolopano honey mustard. Those
sauces will debut at the same time as the chicken nuggets,
which makes sense, you think.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah, I guess that's how you get away with it, right, Yeah,
I know, chicken nuggets aren't what you think of when
you think of Mexican Fair. But you also don't really
think of Taco Bell when you think of Mexican Fair.
You just think Taco Bell is kind of its own
type of food, at least I do.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
You don't think of it as like the same as
going to like Taco's Super Gaito. Turns out, no, turns
out the they don't have Langua or cabasa or anything
like that.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
The Chiloopa, the Double Decker taco the Mexican pizza. The
Mexican pizza.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Totally Mexican. They got holopeno buttermilk flavor marinade. They have
breadcrumbs and crunchy tortilla chips. That's super Mexican chicken.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
You know who wants this, Tim Kates. This has got
Tim Kates written all over it.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Well, they tested this not in Burbank, where you'd think
they would because they know Tim Kates is there. They
tested it in Minneapolis, in Houston last year, earlier in
the year, and eighty seven percent of the Taco Bell
restaurants are here in the US, and they're all in
on this chicken nugget endeavor lanes. Are you excited about this?
Speaker 4 (31:36):
I'm sort of in I at least try it, Yeah
for sure.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, five nuggets are going to cost you four dollars
one dipping sauce. For six ninety nine, you get your
ten nuggets and your two sauces.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Well, I'm glad they were able to test the refined
Mexican food palets of the folks in Minneapolis to declare
whether or not.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh what about Houston, what's that chopped liver? Matt?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Well, you know Houston makes a little sense. You got
the text mets down there in Houston, so they may
know their way around compared.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
To southern California. But dug food man Arizona Mexican food
kicks it in the nuts too.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
And don't get us started on New Mexico Mexican.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Food that makes all they do is eat beads and turquoise.
That's racpeteit. That's why they're so damned crazy. So that
is the news about Taco Bell. Taco Bell to add
chicken nuggets to the menu, but it's allly for a time, just.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Like the cheese at toastata that I consumed, that was
one of the most disgusting, oh come on, ever ingested
in mind.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
But the dorino thing worked that.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
I agree that right, completely permanent, you know, and anoscaco
was delicious.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Because usually chicken nuggets are something you order because you
need you need somebody to be appeased, you know, some
idiot that won't eat anything else, like a child, And
this feels like, well, they're not going to be appeased
with this holopanio marinade and these tortilla chips all crushed
all over it.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I think that, like you said, when you when you
do the you know, small amount of nugs for a
low price with one sauce. It's like, I'll take the
double beef burrito Supreme. Let me get a soft tacos. Oh,
you know what, let me try those four nuggets there
with the the butterhellipanio thing. Let's let's go that and
go just it feels like it's it replaces like the
(33:22):
cinnamon crispas or the or the churo bites that that
you would just add on at the end of the order,
not realizing you're adding an extra seven hundred calories to
your gut.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Three dipping sauces, Pree Valley Ranch Fire Sauce, Bell Sauce
for the brassy balls in you, and Holopano Honeybuster Merry
Christmas from Taco Bell. Will be right back with more
great sports talk on a five seventy l a sports
(33:53):
