Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, Dave, we got the exclusive, Blake, we got it
with you. We got the Michelle You exclusive. So horse
racing Sunday not Friday.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
That's unfortunate for people that go out there on Boxing Day,
like the entire Kate's Family of fancy British wedding like
hats that they wear out to see. Will you stop
charging us more for Vegan Milton. I don't see how
that's relevant to the conversation. But Michelle U is a
lovely lady and our apologies to her. We had our
(02:32):
Petterson money gift exchange, we've lamented the USC Notre Dame stuff.
A lot of that stuff is up on Instagram and
on Axe. Matt's got a top story of the day.
Might talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
And we all basically alcoholics.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Well I'm sober judge right now. Okay, the people in
power that made these decisions.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Well, well, basically alcoholics.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I can't speak to that, but I can't speak to
the fact that we are grateful for our listening audience
and that you could podcast our show while we're away
on the iHeartRadio app for your smartphone, and I get
that's us. And I did book a spot with Brady
Quinn on Friday because I think they're in for Dan Patrick's.
(03:20):
So I'll make up for my Wednesday absence on two
pros and a cup of Joe and we'll get with
Irish Eyes or.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
CEP a little bit later there. Huh oh seven a
set of three to six am, six to nine am.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Five am. The five am radio spot is always a
lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I mean, if you think people aren't going to be
paying attention it's Boxing day, they're going to be out
there running around town that are.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Well well most especially the people that now have nothing
to do. They were all headed to Santa and like
Kate's and his family, all right, it is time for
the state we got. I got a long email that
we could really go through. That is pretty comprehensive and
I appreciate it from a listener. So let's get to
(04:01):
the state of hate.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I went from a Nordstrom call center to being a
play by play itouncer thanks Vic Guy's real piece PMS
Happy Holidays.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Hate list.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
All right.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I got this text today and was grateful for it.
It said, Hey, Pee, I actually started and kept a
New Year's resolution for twenty twenty five to keep track
of anyone that could be included on the show's hate list.
Somebody doing the legwork for us. I think I did
well and if you agree, I could make another compilation
(04:37):
for twenty twenty six. Good luck with the hate next year.
Aaron and he used a black thumb so he might
be a black guy black thumbs up, okay, like Charon
Moore with the black wave like hey, what's up?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
By What's up? Or the blackfire like hey, that post
is fire. I stick with the yellow because I'm a coward,
So all my stuff is. Yeah, all my emojis are
the yellow wave or the yellow bicep.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
There have been some allegations of cowards cowardice in the
Huddington Beach City Council which I watched last night.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Right there in my neck of the woods. I am
one of those cowards.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
All right. This is Aaron's lest and Kate's feel free
to We'll say what you need to say, like John Mayer,
Steve Alford and the University of Reno band.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, he called out the band, but I don't think
he hates OS. Well, he most definitely did not like
us when he was here. Yeah, but he's just he's
just a jerk, self important guy. Yeah, he's a total jerk.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Well, I wouldn't call him the eighties Insults of record
a jerk after what he did to that band or
what you did to us unforgiven worse than OJ calling
out the band.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
At first I thought he didn't get you guys, but
then I was I don't think he did get us.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
He just doesn't like you guys all for him. Yeah,
not his not his deal. But that's always that's followed
him everywhere he's gone. He takes himself way too seriously.
Incredibly thin skin.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
This is an unbelievable list. Daniel Siegel, Oh, the seagull Eagle.
Was that the guy, the dodger p rd ye.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Who we would give the business to whenever he loved it.
He thought he was funny, he loved it. He wasn't
he was scared of you guys.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
I think it was more intimidating, like, oh no, I
have to go see those guys.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I don't think he was scared of us. I think
he was scared that he would get in trouble for
being on with us and engaging in our grab ass,
tearing apart the promotional schedule for the year.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
If he wasn't so annoying, we wouldn't have torn him
apart so bad. Well, he left, he did lead. I
don't think that's that had anything to do with us.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I think I had everything to do with us.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I think that's a self important way of looking at it. Indeed,
it is like that we might be important too. Seth Davis,
if he knows about us, he hates us. Yeah, I
hate Seth Davis.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
We did get pitched Seth Davis for a book tour.
If we should have taken it and just skewered his act.
No really washed him up.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Oh, no way, man really washed it. I'm going to
look like a coward, Madden.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Welcome to my world, friend.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Man Cow. I don't think Man.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Cow knows no idea who we are. I don't. I
don't even know what the hell Man Cow's doing these days.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Now. I haven't received a text in a while from
Don Martin.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
My man.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
This one says Don Martin hates us. Now, have you
received a text?
Speaker 5 (07:47):
It could be in the gal I haven't communicated with
our former boss since the World series, right.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I talked to him during the World I texted with
him during the World series. Have not since.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah, he must be traveling.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I think that burden might be on us, right. He
may want us to reach out to him, Like I
don't want to bother the guys. You know, they're they're
living their best laugh rot now. I don't want to
distract them. I am living my best life right now.
It was a one way street for the.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Last of my holiday music all month.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Might be nice for us after today's show to say, hey, Boss,
thinking of you. We would always take off after the
twenty third. You were so kind to give us Christmas
Eve through the day after New Year's Off.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Appreciate that there's a couple here that are just stale
stories from the year. I'm not going to read like
Ace Rogers and his three legged dog in San Diego.
That a hole running around La Joya that's causing.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Trouble exactly, Cay Lamborghini boat, This says Casey Jacobs. Why
would they say that?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
How are you gonna call Casey?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That's news to me? Oh it could have been, didn't you,
case didn't you come on and say Casey stopped returning
your texts? No, he's just been busy.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
And I was actually told by somebody like the dude
works every day from Oh he's got that bounce house
that he owns, right, And I also heard he moved
to Arizona.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Oh maybe the bounce house didn't come through. Wasn't it
like circus tricks or something like that? In Mission Viejo.
He likes you guys, Yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, mister mckimm my eighth grade teacher. He was just
at the last event. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Came home with a lot of swag, including our Southern
California Sports Broadcasters of the Year Award.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Michelle Hugh's husband.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I think I think that's just Michelle.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
U is your vibrant and feisty wife, and she runs
around yipping and yap.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
And know what he married, right, He's not worried about us, no,
And I think he's like a former Navy seal or something,
so he ain't sweating too.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Idiots like Chad Williams and these Huntington Beach Council former
Navy seal.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I think they were Navy seals together, and they will
f you up States except for fun. That's for the Marines.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Idiot, All right, leave me alone. Wayne ran Dazzo, the Dazzler,
no doubt hates your guts. And then this guy mentions
Joey Ran Dazzle, my cousin, Joey, who does not hate
me at all.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
As far as you know, I like Joey Ran Dazzle.
That Wayne hates the Dazzler. Dazzler hates you. How do
you even know he knows? Because the word got back
to him that you're mocking the Dazzler daily, that you
were taking on the Dazzler, that I'm daily shaking his
confidence daily.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yes, baby, the real boys at Disneyland, they're not even real.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
We are the real boy it's been fifteen years.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
I was at Disneyland on Thanksgiving and I did not
see a lot of gang jackets. No, maybe it's just
a different day on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
You know, see a lot of weirdos that are there
every day taking pictures with the train conductor. Yes, we
know a guy like that.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Great guy gave Kapler good one.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I don't think he hates it.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I don't think so either. I think Gabe got it,
he got our grab ass enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Vendors in the San Francisco Tenderloin and vendors in the
San Diego gas Lamp, I don't think they have.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
They don't know us. I think I think these are
it's certainly worth.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
So this guy mentions the homeless guy that at Hermosa,
that used to live there, he's dead. The guy that
used to say, Turkey, you want to go swimming to
all the chicks.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
That guy's dead, is dead, so he can hate us
in death. But you know, I do think.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
You can recognize me. I don't think you would have known, Matt.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I do think you can. You can just say the
homeless hate us.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I could say that Kyle Freeland hates us. That's on
here Kyle Free. They're tired of her.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Let me tell you something Monday. He was born the Nay,
the Rockies were born as well. It's a real big
net you've cast here as people.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
That's amazing. This guy really but this guy did a
great job because some of this is very relevant.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, these are all things that we have taken the
task over the course of the last year.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
There's some I'm skipping, like Arthur Digby Cellars, who wrote
the bulk of the series for Brandon Square, is the
one who ran the ghost of Jim Whacker. We talked
about Jim Whacker the other day. Uh Oo.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Emmanuel Ocho most definitely hates us aware. I don't think
people are aware. I don't think there is any question, truly.
I don't think there is any question.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Steve Carbone the Boner bone. No, yeah, no, I don't
think he problem with Steve Carbon.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
He's moved on.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Is there something better than a A plus?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I guess no?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Is it? No?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
No? Zach lady boy Elk, I don't think so. He's
on the Charger broadcast and always in a vibrant mood, unhappy.
I think Zach liked the attention he got when he
worked with us. Who that much just saw on Sundays.
He's still kicking ass. Tribal elders love us. Tribal elders
(13:07):
want more of the petros In Money Show. We drive
traffic to those slot machines, mostly cash from our wallets.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Jimmy Healey's son Patrick loves us. Patrick the foot soldier
for CANBC, loves the Petrosen Money Show and has compared it.
That's the only thing that reminds him of his great
father's show. Elaine Boosler, that's a good one. We did
(13:37):
get after Boosler's ass because she acted like an ass
at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Do you not know who I am?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Over her purse?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Boozler and then tried to take a photo of her
purse and it's the size of a small country, looks.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Huge in the parents on the camera and she said
that's because of the camera. Boozler made a fool of
herself and then we're not going to take that on.
That's not our problem, though he's got a problem with
us calling out her behavior. That's on you, Boozler. That's
on you.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
You're the one that came in with the bag that
was too big. Booze, Michelle Beatle. I don't think she
lives here anymore, and I do believe she I don't
know if she's aware of our No. I think she
moved back to Texas. I believe she moved back to
people like steven A and Max Kellerman ran her off.
Her scope of hate goes higher. She is on the
(14:25):
Mad Dog or was I think they pulled her show. Yeah,
they pulled her show speaking of steven A and replaced
her with steven A on Mad Dog Sports. So I
don't know what she does. Just has house parties that
Kevin figures attends.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
How's party? All right? That's that pretty much wraps it
up anything anybody wants to add insurance.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Rob Fukazaki, Jim Hill, all the well, yeah, those guys
all hate it.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Brother, Jim likes us. Yes, Kazaki hate hates.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Word about Mario Saliz. He seems he seems friendly. He's friendly.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Get along with him. He hates you, You're a liar.
Get along fine with Lebamba? How dare you hate we?
Get along well with the concierge. Roger Lodge hates us.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I don't think he does, or do you know? No,
he does not follow me he follows you on Twitter,
follows the show on Twitter, does not follow me on Twitter,
So I think he hates me.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
I follow him on Twitter. He seems like I'm a
really nice guy. Yeah, I believe I am blocked.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I don't know why the hell I did to him?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Took the Chargers out of San Diego?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
You thief? Can you guys get along with Jim Roman?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Now?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Fine?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Still great, Matt's still on text change with him, David
Rock that.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, he'll ask me for like, hey, where should I
go to dinner? We're doing this, and then then I
don't get invited to the dinner, like, oh yeah, try
to spot out. It's great Javier that's three years ago.
Now he's running a lot of horses there at Lost
when it was open, you know, so it's like where
should I go kind of thing? And yeah, rummy, dear friend,
(16:07):
Matt and him are very close, very close, and we'll return.
I thought that went great again, maybe maybe twenty twenty six.
It is going to be given for us.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Aaron did a great job there amalgamating all of that. Yeah,
I felt aggregating it. You guys took a step backwards
this year. There's a lot of hate in twenty twenty five.
Who twenty twenty five You guys are soft now.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Oh, I see what you're saying. So we took a
step back and taking on people on air.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Yeah, that's why I started throwing out, like you know,
the local sportsna.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Lord doesn't even hate us. He's trying to get on
and we'll be back with the top story of the day.
Stay with us on the petch of somebody showing him
five seventy LA Sports last show of the year.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Make AM five seventy or your favorite AM five seventy
LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeart Radio using
Apple CarPlay or Android Autumn road Trip all summer with
LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Welcome back, everybody, Petro send money saying goodbye for the
new year, for the year, the old year, and we'll
be back in the new year. After tonight, we got
Clippers Versus Rockets pregame at six thirty, tip off at
seven thirty on AM five seventy, So we'll do Dead
and Alive next, and then we'll do the quick hits
(17:26):
and the fun Fact and then we will say goodbye
for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Farewell, Yes, let's just get to the end instead of
mad acting like one of the babies in the von
Trapp family.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Let's just get to the top story of the day, top.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Story of the day. You inspired me yesterday with your
taking on Lincoln Riley, Oh yeah, taking on the administration
of USC, taking them to task the failure they were
part of, in the failure of coming to an agreement
to extend the USC Notre Dame series. Now as I
(18:11):
repurpose it, maybe some will find it to be a stretch,
maybe not connected at all. But in my twisted brain
and the football world that I view through lightning bolt
shaped powder blue colored lenses, something that jumped out at
me and got up on ourneath skin.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Don you find a charger parallel?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I believe I did. I believe I did. And what
it is be it is the idea, oh just beautifully
in sync. It's the idea of competition, the idea of
taking on adversity, of overcoming adversity, of being a great team,
(18:52):
of being part of that great team, not an individual
that believes a program should benefit them like a head
coach and what their win loss record is going to
look like, or whether or not they're going to participate
in a postseason. Your father said something when he used
to join us on Fridays that always stuck with me,
and the way he was poetic when he joined us
(19:13):
talking about football, and I do miss having him on.
I think a lot of people miss us having him
on on Fridays. Well, fine, because you liked when he
would hang up right in the middle of me saying goodbye.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
If you want him on, I'll tell him, but he
said I'll be with him tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
One time when he was on with us, he said
football can be boiled down to one thing, preventing forward progress.
And when you view it through that lens, you think
about that collection of players, the amount of sacrifice it
takes to either move forward to gain a yard or
to halt that movement and prevent that yard, sums up
(19:52):
the sacrifice that is the sport of football.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I can personally attest to saying that yard it feels
like a lot. Personally, three faith, it really feels like
a lot. It feels like you're pushing toward the end
of the earth. It feels in my personal experience.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yet, and in this particular era of football, which is beautiful.
It is the most popular not just sport, but form
of entertainment in America. It is one of the sports
I enjoy watching, even when I'm not being paid to
watch it. Whether it's high school or college or professional football.
I love the sport. I love every second of it.
(20:27):
But one thing, and you would probably think that I'd
be on the other side of this because I weigh
all of one hundred and fifty five pounds and can't
possibly fathom me.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Everybody knows that you would have been the best.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I would have been. I would have been dead. You
ever see Lucas. That would have been my fate. I
would have been Luka Plaki. You would have been the bet.
That's how it would have ended. But the idea that
you shared yesterday that you're going to skip out on
a game, a game that fans look forward to, the
players that are playing in the game, that are make
(21:00):
that sacrifice on that field every single year, is now
going to be pushed aside because of the challenge that
that game itself presents, that that game could perhaps prevent
you from qualifying for a postseason for one of twelve
playoff berths.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
We're not scared, well, why don't you want to play
it well because we might lose. We might lose that game,
but you're not scared. Okay, cool, No, I get it.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
We could lose that game and then not get into
the playoff.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I don't know who goes through more verbal and mental
gymnastics all the game day guys trying to justify the
college football playoff stuff, or Colin Cowherd and Bill Plaski
trying to justify what USC is doing.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Cowherd is a Baltic State trepeze artist.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
These days, one of the Flying will Ndees.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
It is not something that any individual involved with sports
can possibly defend. You should be embarrassed if you do that.
That is not on the schedule because as you just mentioned,
and it's a hard game October or November, and it
might expose you as not being up for being in
the playoff. That maybe your team is not worthy of
(22:11):
being in the playoff because you came up against another
team that is also fighting for that playoff birth that
that is why it is going to be shoved aside
for a contest in which you will be a twenty
to forty point favorite that absolutely nobody is going to
be interested in and nobody will remember two days after
(22:31):
it completes. So I use it all.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Get another cupcake on the schedule, got it, Everyone's going
to everybody's going to love that.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Get that third cupcake. So we got a shot at
making the twelve team playoff. So I use all of
that to set up an individual award because that makes sense, right,
an award that should not have any attention from the
individual that wins it if in fact they are playing
football the right way and that is the most valuable player,
(22:58):
which is now front. It's always nice to be reconnized,
certainly for your efforts. Helps with your Hall of Fame candidacy,
that's for certain, and might be able to be fuel
for a podcast that your wife runs if she decides
to bring it back. But the MVP. So watching some
football last night, man, was it fun watching Philip Rivers
(23:19):
out there? We only have two regular season games left,
so the MVP conversation is heating up. It is on
the debate shows. There are entire podcasts dedicated to MVP
ballots because the biggest stars in sporting America are quarterbacks.
(23:41):
Good looking quarterbacks married to good looking pop stars spitting
out beautiful children that could go one way or another athlete, performer,
financial titan, or maybe the humble profession of being a
teacher and helping the next generation become better than maybe
they already were. Thanks So the fact that there is
(24:05):
a quarterback debate going on, I think you know where
this is going. I wish I could attribute it, but
I can't remember who it was, but I believe it
was on the on sporting radio somewhere. Maybe it was
a podcast, but the name Justin Herbert came up. Oh,
and I didn't think you're going to talk about him.
(24:27):
Justin Herbert for MVP was shot down so fast by
the other host who was not a football player. Maybe
it's on one of the ESPN. Yeah, because money football
is in ESPN. So I think it was on one
of those roundtables, right like the the the Orlowsky, Marcus Spears,
Mark Spears, Marcus Spears, you know.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
One of those shot it down.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I don't remember, no, no, no, it was like one of
the you know, reporter types. Okay, and he said, huh,
Herbert's fourteenth and EPA per dropback, Drake May has got
a completion percentage six points higher than him and Matthew
Stafford has thrown thirteen more touchdown passes. You can't be
(25:11):
serious bringing up Justin Herbert. All of those things may
be true, and all of those things are statistical measurements,
they're spreadsheets, they're nerd nuggets. Without all of that, I mean,
they're not football things. Pete.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
No, it's been his most impressive year as a quarterback
and a leader right by far.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
You watch football, you watch Justin Herbert what he does
week in and week out, playing the most violent team
sport with bigger, faster, stronger guys that routine ly, week
in and week out tee off on him.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
He's hurt, he's running more than ever. He's shown great courage,
he's developed receivers, doesn't have a quote unquote elite receiving corps.
One of the guys retired right when the year began.
He doesn't have either tackle.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Everybody has hammered the Chargers all season long about their
leaky offensive line, and they're right. It is the thirty
second ranked and there are thirty two teams in the NFL.
For those of you that are not aware, the thirty
second ranked run offensive line feels like he overcomes a
lot every week, seems like it right.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
To me, it does, and I'm not biased.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
They the offensive line, while trying to protect Justin Herbert,
has allowed him to be hit over two hundred and
thirty times. That is forty more than the second most
hit quarterback. He has been sacked, the most times he
has been hurried, He has been blitzed. He has had
a game in which he was pressured sixty eight percent
(26:44):
of his dropbacks, and that was a game he won.
The final five contests of this season began with the
Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, followed by the Chiefs, followed
by the number one offense in the NFL Cowboys, followed
by the best defense that we've seen in ten years,
the Houston Texans on Saturday, followed by a trip to
the team that's number one in the AFC record wise,
(27:07):
Denver Broncos. And many projected that they would go zero
in five, that you couldn't possibly score enough points behind
this terrible offensive line this season to win those games,
and all Justin Herbert has done is win all of
them with a broken hand. The game in which he
broke his hand, put a glove on, made his way
(27:28):
back onto the field, finished the game stiff armed to
safety on a scramble for twelve yards that gave his
team a first down eventually to tie the game and
then win it in overtime against the Philadelphia Eagles. That's
all he's done. The odds makers have repeatedly said the
Chargers are going to lose these games because of that
offensive line. They were dogs of the Eagles, to the Chiefs,
(27:50):
to the Cowboys. Opened his two and a half point favorites.
That's down to one and a half now against the Texans.
And it gets to the point of what is the
most valuable player? Is it a guy that has an
EPA per drop back that is well ahead of everybody else?
Is it Drake May and his Patriots who are playing
(28:11):
far and away the softest schedule of any team in
the NFL this year? Is it Matthew Stafford who's got
forty touchdown passes? But, as we hear routinely, is being
coached by the most brilliant offensive mind in football. They
can draw up plays to twist your defense's brains into
a pretzel.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Everybody talks about McVeigh like that McVeigh is great, but
that's because they run the ball.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
They have a beautiful iron. Williams is great.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
They have a beautiful stretch zone and everything they do,
just like with Golf and Todd Gurley, is based on
their beautiful stretch zone and they run that and then
they stem everything off of that. And the quarterback is
very good. But everybody acts like he's sitting here drawing
up a bunch of pass plays like Mouse Davis. They
run the freaking boss.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Josh Allen has the number one running back in the
league in James Cook. As they are talking about him
putting on his cape week in and week out and
willing the Bills to victory. He literally has a running
back that has rushed for fifteen hundred yards and double
digit touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I mean, maybe he's been doing it kind of under
the cover of it's the Chargers and they've lost early
in the playoffs the last few years and whatever. Maybe
Harbaugh's not as big of a story as he used
to be. But he's had a heroic year if you've
paid close attention. I don't know. I can't think of
a guy who's overcome more.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
They have eleven wins, same number as Matthew Stafford and
the Rams, same number as Josh Allen. And the Bills
say one less than the New England Patriots, and yet
bringing up Justin Herbert in the MVP conversation is being
scoffed a time. The man has a broken hand.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
I don't know if he's gonna get the MVP, probably not,
but it certainly shouldn't be scoffed.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
No.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, they win these final two games, and they win
the AFC West, going thirteen and four without their tackles,
without Naji Harris for the entire season, Amari and Hampton
for eight of those games, a patchwork offensive line, sixteen
different combinations throughout the year. I'd like to think when
you bring up Justin Herbert's name and the MVP, you say, well,
(30:21):
there's a warrior. There's a guy that's willing to go
out there no matter the physical show a lot of character.
Exactly right, give me epa per drop back is fourteenth
and you can't possibly take that seriously. It's wrong with
you people.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
You know what it's like, Matt paddling out when your
shoulder hurts. You overcome that adverse.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Every day every wave pe who burn you way, Hey,
we can't possibly play Notre Dame in November? What are
you thinking this benefits them so much more than it
benefits us. Doesn't that change every year? Doesn't it benefit
both of you. Doesn't it benefit the fans and the
players in the game that as opposed to you.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
We didn't see their MoU before we saw the percentage
of what the deal was. Just it's your job to
make sure they play leadership.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
I just want to move it to the earlier in
the year God told me.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Asked whatever, God, I hate everybody.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Except justin Herbert.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Yeah, way to go. What a great guy. We'll be
back with more of your dead and a live guy.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Burnday, Yeah, he really is.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
He goes to war Warriors Dig.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yeah, boar Daddy Warriors Dig.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
We'll be right back.

(32:17):
and turn on the iHeartRadio app. All right, Matt, you
got the dead Guy Birthday of the Day.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I do our Dead Guy Birthday of the Day. Joseph Smith,
founder of Mormonism the Latter Day Saints movement, published the
Book of Mormon at twenty four, died at thirty eight.
Let's talk about Joe. How did it all come about? Joe?
(32:48):
He was born in Sharon, Vermont. Tough childhood. Family was poor.
His father was constantly chasing work, moving all over the place,
frequently relocating. Right when he's about twelve or thirty, he
falls in with a group. It's figuring out how to
make some scratch with folk magic, treasure seeking practices, religious revivalism,
(33:13):
all of which would influence his later claims and pursuits.
Smith suggested when he was fifteen in eighteen twenty, he
experienced a divine vision in which both God and Jesus
appeared to him and said, all existing churches are corrupt. Now,
(33:34):
he did not share that vision publicly until much later. Well,
he'd want to be embarrassed at fifteen. You know, good
luck talking with your pals about that when they're just talking,
you know, Tinker to Evers, to Chance. There were down
the road multiple versions of that particular vision that he
(33:56):
shared on the record. In the eighteen twenties, Smith participated
in treasure digging, using what he called seer stones or
peep stones, that people could pay to look into his
hat at these stones, and they would guide them to
various buried treasures. But you're corrupt, an activity that resulted
in at least at least on record one court appearance
(34:21):
for disorderly conduct and fraud. Smith's most significant claim was
that he translated the Book of Mormon from golden plates
revealed to him by an angel named Maroni.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Where are the Academy? Just like the Lice Academy? Right
next to.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Where are the plates? I believe they were found buried
at the base of a tree in Rochester. Are they
still there? No? The angel took him back. The book
was produced using methods that critics would argue resembled Smith's
earlier treasure seeking adverts and practices. The Book of Mormon
(35:06):
nineteenth century American context, as opposed to an ancient record.
Eighteen thirty, Smith founds the church establishes himself as its
profit ultimate authority. Over time, he introduces a number of revolutions,
a number of revelations that expand his power, doctrines that
(35:26):
would centralize his leadership and obedience by his congregation. These
revelations were not the Book of Mormon. They were compiled
into the Doctrine and Covenants, a separate book, separate scripture
from the Book of Mormon. His leadership included polygamy. Records
(35:49):
that Smith married between thirty and forty women, many of
whom were already married.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Wow, Holidays had to be rough a.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Lot of dinners to go to, some of whom were teenagers.
They were concealed from the public, even from his wife Emma.
Using his prophetic authority to pressure women, saying, look, I
don't want to do this, but God says, if I don't,
I'm in big trouble.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Guess what I had another vision.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
I had a vision God said you and I gotta
get going or I'm in big trouble.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
What do you I don't want to do it sot
in my mind's eye.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
As you would imagine, his actions generated significant opposition, legal issues,
accusations of fraud, hostility from surrounding communities wherever he tried
to settle. Eighteen forty four, it all comes to a head.
He ordered his congregation to destroy a newspaper that criticized
his polygamy, his political power. He was arrested. He was
jailed in Carthage, Illinois. And while on the second story
(36:52):
that is basically thrown out of a window, a shot
thrown out of a window. He's killed while he was
a waiting trial, like chet Maker, just like it, Legacy
started a religion that is still incredibly popular today. I
believe Mormonism is the fastest growing religion in the world. So,
you know, some say Joseph Smith prophet. Others say, read
that doctrine and Covenant one thirty two. Joseph Smith must
(37:16):
sleep with multiple women. You, Ma, Smith, are not allowed
to even look at another man, so says the angel Maroney.
But hey, happy birthday, Joe, way to go. You got
a hell of a tabernacle choir dripping with sarcas beautiful.
Oh we are related.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
You know he is an uncle yours. You can say
whatever you want exactly, all right, Matt. Today we'll wrap
up the year of dead and alive birthdays of the
day with some lighter fare, but a heavy star in
South Korea, our own Hey Song Kim, no doubt knows
about this guy, Kang g young or you soothly Kang
(37:58):
g Q sixty three.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
The older one. You should get the younger on these
what's that I said? Sixty three? One of the rare older.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
He's the Stephen Spielberg of Korea.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Okay. Director Pang grew up.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Working at his parents hardware store. Is nickname son of
a pot shop, Son of a pot shop. Yeah, not
a weed star. I'm a hardware store. That's yeah, you
would think, but that's you know, translated right. He became
interested in filmmaking and literature, went to Chung'ang University for film,
(38:35):
graduated in nineteen eighty five. Then he started making movies
and writing screenplays and producing again the Steven Spielberg of
East Asia. He has war epics like The Saving Private
Ryan of East Asia, action thrillers. He has won numerous
(38:55):
awards since the nineties. Then I do have some time.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Okay, it's the saving Private Ryan of war. It's not.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
It's just I don't know. I don't know what war, Matt,
it's not what I read. Okay, Well, going to what
war it was about? I'm sorry I thought about it.
She said, no, baby, World War two. I don't know.
All I know is that movie had some Korean name
that wasn't gonna.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Get horn, wasn't gonna get horse.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
Okay, first title, Well, Comma, let's look at the sky.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Sometimes that's gonna get horns. Did you know what? We
don't want to look at the sky all the time.
You get hit by a car, you know, keep your
eyes out for danger. You're just looking where you are.
Sometimes it's okay, underground sky space, underground sky space? What
that would be? You're underground? Where's the hesse?
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Right? Bad guys always die.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
That's a big win. And in Korean flicks typically good
guys always die too. Well, I mean technically, you know,
it's probably all bad guys.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Everybody. Uh, the Ginko bed so I imagined if Ginko
is also not going to get horns, I guess all right?
And then finally, who saw no what who saw the
(40:31):
dragon's claw? Good rhyme, and that is kange. You the
Steven Spielberg of South Korea in an effort to pander
toward our Korean listeners. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Nobody panders to our Korean listeners like the Petros and money.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
Shows anybody in Asia. A lot of pandering going on here.
We are your show of record except you, me and mar.
All Right, we'll be right back and we'll say goodbye
for the year with the fun fact and crickets and
then you'll have the clippers.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
Yeah. Yeah,
