a last night of Tim Kates on Spectrum Sports and
at LA So tune in Tim Kate's Jay Hare, hard
Tongue all there bringing you the Dodger news on the
(01:40):
eve of the very first Dodgers first spring training game
that we're airing in the first spring training game of
the year. That they don't always coincide like Easter at
Orthodox Easter, but they do this year Dodgers first spring
training game versus the Cubs. First pitch of twelve o

at eleven thirty with David vass and everybody is very excited.
We will have David Vasse in the five o'clock hour
live from Campbell Back Ranch with the latest news is
breaking there very very quickly. Now, Tim am I right
to say? I say asa. Tim Kates, the the producer
(02:23):
of the Petrosen Money Show and the Dodgers Morongo Casino,
Dodgers on Deck host, the host of Saxon Kate's in
the Am. Didn't Sacks just take a job with the A's.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
I think he's working on their TV broadcast.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I believe he is.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
I think so with Cabnar, I don't know. I don't
know who he's working with. I think it's maybe a studio.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Work for he lives in Sacramento.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
That's that's the tie.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, I can mudcats, gotcha.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, so he can drive over to the Golden Drawbridge
and do his Saxy dance.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
He worked for their Triple A team last year on
TV broadcast, and now that the A's are there, he's
just sliding in.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
So that doesn't necessarily kill Sax and Kates in the AM.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
I hope not.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
No, Well, the A's aren't making the postseasons, I would
assume his work will be done right. Well, I was
gonna scam would roll up. Not understandable.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I was concerned about that. So Sax and Kates in
the AM not dead, even though he did take a
job with the Sacramento Interim A's on the television broadcast.
So that's congratulations to Steve Sacks. But Tim, do you
know that the powers that be above us today because
the Dodgers are the biggest thing in town, and Otani
(03:35):
and so on and so forth, and this very very
exciting trip to Japan. It's upcoming. Did we pick up
more Dodgers spring training games than we normally do?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Or is it.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Status quo in the world of Ami seventy LA sports
the blowtor?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Well, a lot of it depends on the Clippers schedule
and UCLA basketball because they're spring training games, so you
don't want to have a conflict there. No, I think
it's the normal amount sports in LA is doing all
of them. I think we're doing almost all over.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yes, we're doing almost all the spring training games.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
I want to say it's like eighteen maybe something like that.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Well, it's the biggest team in town, not even close.
If you got access to them games, why wouldn't you
run them? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
I mean Tim nevertd and Rick Monday on the car.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I mean I like listening to Rogan and Rodney punch
each other in the face as much as the next guy.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
But I mean I'm looking at noon noon noon, No noon,
no noon noon noon. Here's a five oh five pm
against the Angels on Friday.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Did she try to du up?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
And I did?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Prompt noon noon no.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
No noon, No, here's a Tuesday at five o'clock. Then
a noon noon, and then a five point forty and
then a noon one one one.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I like it when the split squad comes up and
grabs your nuts.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Oh yeah, and you're like, who is that guy? Spit
squad man, split squad?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Where's Freddy?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
He's playing at night talking stick.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
So what you're telling me is we're gonna have the
best damn leading in town. We're gonna dodge your baseball
taking us to Petros at Money.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
You got better hit it out of the park.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I like the pun there, boss.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Well, actually you know what, No, we won't, right because
those spring training games tend to wrap up in about
two hours, so you'd have a Rogan a sliver of
Rogan and Rodney, right, you'd have an hour of Rogan
and Rodney or four minutes or so.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
This has been scheduled talking. Yes, it is on the
Petros and Money Show. Just know this tomorrow. We'll be
on right when the game's over, and we'll be off
right at four o'clock because the Clippers are taking on
the Milwaukee Buck So a short show tomorrow. There's two
things going on that broke last night and today that
(05:41):
are prevalent to what we did. I prophesized. I didn't
want to, but I said, damn it. If UCLA loses
tonight and Mick Cronin doesn't get his five hundred win
with his dad, hep in the crowd and his beautiful
head of hair, Josh Lewin is going to be bludgeoned
(06:01):
verbally in the postgame interview.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
You did make that proclamation.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I did not want it to be true. I did it.
I did not want it to be I wanted Nick
to have a five hundred win with his dad. I did.
You can't tell me what I wanted. I wanted it.
I didn't want that flaming super saane head, a guy
from Minnesota, or Rodriguez to score thirty two. Dawson Garcia, Garcia,
(06:27):
that's one. That's what I said. I didn't want him
to score thirty two and humiliate Mick Cronin in front
of his dad. But that's what happened. I can't control it.
I can't control it either could any player. They couldn't
control it. No, they couldn't make their free throws. So
that was like the one thing that happened, and then
the other thing that happened, and I don't know which one.
(06:49):
We're supposed to get into or which one we want
to do first. The other thing that happened is Matt
is going to Brazil, and I'm sure we'll talk about
that as the show goes on. But the Chargers, I
don't know who they're playing out of me, they're playing,
they're playing somebody. That's an inside joke. Everybody we know
they speak Portuguese in Brazil. Maybe Kate's doesn't. But Kate
(07:14):
seems to have a real block south of.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
The border, he really does. I think it's Central America
that really throws him for a loop. If it were
up to Kates, North America and South America would just.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Beque you know, Gates. You know, it's kind of like
the Gulf of America. It's a new thing, you know,
Central America. It's hard for him to get, you know,
I mean because it's a pretty new concept, you know,
the Central America thing. You know, it's something that we
all have to get.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Used certainly, you know, it in its infancy, right.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So, uh, Matt is going to go to actually to
South America, which is where I understand Brazil is. It's
a massively big country. South Paolo is a massively large
city and that is where the Chargers are going. Who
are they play a Brazilian team of footballers that has
started training now, and they will be ready to go.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
They got a head they got a real head start.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, they will be ready to go by the time
the Chargers come down there.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
And there's six international games this year.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
It's crazy, probably twelve next year.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
They're going to Berlin, Ireland, Madrid. Unreal.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Well, Madrid's not that far of a trip. We established
that yesterday.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Down South London, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
How come they never play in Canada?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
It's a great question, right, it's a great question because
you have the.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Can't be worse than the guy in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Well, oh you know what, No, I know what it is.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
It's the CFL.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, CFL's got got right. You can't go in there.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
It's called the Great Man. The Alouettes through a hissy fit.
They freaked out when they heard the NFL was coming.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Both rough riders. Yes, they threatened to ride roff all
over the NFL. Don't you cross that border, you bitch
a uh so battes. Those are two things that are
going on. Matt's going to Brazil.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
How many Canadian football teams can you do.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Like right off the top of my head, Yeah, the
Aloettes Montreal, the rough Riders Saskatchewan, and then there's another
rough rider, but they might be gone. There was two
rough riders riding rough all over each other. Uh, there's
the our goals are going on. Uh, you know, right
on the spot in the limelight. That's about all I
can do.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I think that's yeah, I'm right there. I don't have
anything else. Do you have the Vancouver Do we know?
Is there a British Columbia maybe as opposed to.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, the British Columbia farts sniffers.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, the old I just pulled it up here.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
What do we got cakes?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
We have Calgary Stampede. Good one, Calgary Stampeder's.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I didn't look that up either.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
The Edmonton Elks did not know that.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
That's that's got to be a change from something. There
were the Eskimos. They were the Edmonton Eskimos, and they
were awesome and they got rid of it.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
They had the Southwest Airline guy on the helmet.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
That's the the Red Hawks of Saint John's is kind
of over the copy of that.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
The British Columbia Lions red storm.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
There we go. Seeh I had a feeling it wasn't Vancouver.
So British Columbia Lions, Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Oh, yes, that's
an old one, okay.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah, the Blue Bombers.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, they've been going for a while.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
You guys mentioned the Aloettes and the Argonauts, the Hamilton
Tiger Cat, Yes, the old tiger Cat. There's one more alright,
Amazon Odawa red Blacks all right, red black red blacks.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Now that sounds like another adjustment, right.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Only Native American and black guys on that team.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Yes, look at the roster right now.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yep, copy well in large intoit community certainly. But yeah,
I don't know how we got on that. Oh yeah,
that's international travel of matts Man.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Yes, truly.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
And I hate to be right, Matt, I hate to
be right. I just I didn't want Mick Cronin to
put Josh Lewin in the town square like the gangs
in New York. Just hang them up there.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
To day he was bludgeoned. He was how much?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
How long?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
How much of this are we going to play? Cats?
How much you're gonna get? How long was it? Would
you say?
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Not very long?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
It's four minutes. Okay, four minutes.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Here it is. We welcome in the coach.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
I'm not sugarcoating it. I ain't messing them around.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
It's Cronin talk. When Mick speaks, we all listen.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I got broned.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Some people, don't I do. It's Cronin talk.
Speaker 8 (11:36):
Coach McK cronin is gracious enough to join us right now,
and he's putting on the headsets and the missing end
of nine.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Can we stop? I feel so nervous. I've heard this
and I'm nervous.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
The first time I heard it. I have to and
you know how much I love this, you do, but
I actually put my head down on the desk and
I went, oh god, oh god, I was that uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I have heard this, and I'm like, it's like a.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
In your stomach.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
It's like when you read about Lincoln's assassination and you
just hope that that one.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Time you're reading that it changes.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
If the door's locked, booth, can't it in there? Nothing
happens to Lincoln. He's able to govern in his second term.
Speaker 8 (12:24):
Coach mc cronan is gracious enough to join us right now,
and he's putting on the headsets and the missing eight
of nine free throws down the stretch obviously makes what
we were talking most about. And you don't make a
free throws here at home, that I guess just doesn't
set up.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Well, what's the difference of its Homer Road?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
True?
Speaker 7 (12:43):
What if the game's on Mars and you miss eight
of nine?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
I'm just curious what the hell the difference is if
you're at Homer on the road?
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Well?
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Yeah, missing the free throws we thought was the story?
Speaker 7 (12:58):
Okay, I'm just waiting for h Well, I mean.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Is that an anomaly or is that a concern? Or
what else did you take out of the game tonight.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
We've struggled to make free throws in particular our guards
for quite a while, so that's sure. It's a concern
how we gonna win, how we're gonna be a factor
of a team he can't make free throws?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Hey, gotta be, John Bearding, I'll be.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
You want my take on the game?
Speaker 7 (13:26):
I was waiting for you to ask all the time.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
So sure, the.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Uh, the tougher team won. Even if we would have
won this game, I would have been sick about our
attitude and our approach to the game.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Even though we got up.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
I was at I'm out on the court screaming at
guys to get guys to play hard. Our attitude was
terrible in our preparation, and we paid the price.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
And then you try to flip the switch.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
The other team is humble, and they'll duck in, they'll
box out, they'll hit people, they'll protect the paint. I
told you I was impressed with coach Ben and what
the job he's done with his team. I don't look
at records. Sometimes the guy with the most talent wins.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Anyway.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Now we didn't tonight, and we got what we deserved.
Our attitude sucks, Okay, we got some guy and when
all you worry about is what in the crowds, the
same way everybody's worried about whether the ball goes in.
The guy's not trying to miss a free throw, and
the oohing and on just makes it worse. Okay, instead
of just how about this, cheer for the team's and
(14:43):
let's let's try to get defensive stops. But you know,
we're worried about the wrong things. I got guys taking
off balanced shots and your mind's not on defense at all.
And we got what we deserve, even if they to me,
like I've been in a rebuilding when you're trying to
(15:03):
build a program like ben is, you can lose games,
but you win in my mind because your team competed
better than the other team. So even if we don't
won this game tonight, I'd have been sick all night.
So our attitude suck. We got what we deserve if
you want my that's my observation.
Speaker 9 (15:24):
So you go into the locker room where eleven point lead.
What what happened at halftime with these guys. That's what
I'm trying to figure out. That's what it is. It's
not this game.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
I'm just going to tell you this b we we
tonight and I'm just don't let this game we got.
I'm gonna I don't know how I can say to
so many ways I can say, we got guys worried
about whether their ball goes in, whether it's their shot
or their free throw, and they're not focused on the
game plan, scouting report, defense, rebounding.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
We get beat the.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
Loose ball after loose ball, it's the glass in the
second half because our mind is on the wrong stuff.
And when you're trying to build a program, and that's
why I have respect for coach Ben because their mind's
on the right stuff and they could easily quit, they
could easily pack it in, but they're still scrapping and
fighting even though they're not in that large tournament team.
(16:23):
So that's why you know, I knew watching on the film.
I saw it on the film. I told the guys
at halftime, I've seen them. They don't give up. Got
a lot of respect for him, But we act like
Prima Donna's and we got what we deserved.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
So it's all my fault.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
I'm the coach failed miserably at keeping our team humble
and ready to fight.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
So get out, Josh, you're coming out.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Nick, thank you for joining us.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
You've got it.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You got it in Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Takes it sixty four to sixty.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
One, mercifully coming to an end.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
That was great, well done, well handled, Josh.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Now I want to say this, UCLA could lose every
game for the rest of the year.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
It's a rough schedule and Mick could.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Never get to his five hundred win in twenty twenty five,
and he still had more impact in town than Lincoln Riley.
Other than the fact that Lincoln Riley well the comparison.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
How is that even a conversation, people.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
On the other show are acting like it's some kind
of victory that UCLA was embarrassed last night, like that
somehow diminishes what Mick Cronin has accomplished, as opposed to
Lincoln Riley, who's accomplished nothing but really an individual award,
and then us he has fallen off and there's no
buzz in town about them at all, and they can't
even spend a good deal of their nil money Mick
(17:45):
Cronan and Mick Cronan is much better for UCLA because
let's say he does go crazy and actually killed Josh Lewin,
there's a buyout. Yeah, yeah, I know, there's a buyout
that's not one hundred million dollars that hasn't crippled the
entire school and its identity program, USC football like Lincoln
Riley has for us C. Thank you, thank you, But
(18:10):
still not a great night for Mick, U c l
A or anybody involved. And like like Mick especially well,
well for me, I blame exactly what Mick does. I
blame the crowd, each and every one of those freaking students.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Jim Lindberg and his family was in the crowd last night.
I saw on Instagram, and it's on them. It's on them.
They reacted poorly when U C. L A missed the
front end of a one on one.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Was that what Mick was doing there was he was
he trolling Jim Lindberg.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Like trying to do.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
They make it worse when a guy misses a free
throw you, I mean distress in the and Paulie's crazy
when a guy the.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Guys lin Bergh that.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I didn't know going after Lindbergh. No, I did not know, Matt.
I did not know despite our prophecy. Like Isaiah the
Profit of Old, I did not know that UCLA was
going to blow it last night. It started to look
like it as the game went on. I I did
not know that any of that stuff was going to happen.
(19:33):
I had no idea. However, while I was watching the
game on FS one, I did have And I don't know,
maybe Kate who's the host of Bruin Talk, or maybe
you felt it too. I was like, man, that crowd
sounds dead, Like you can hear everybody yelling and screaming
on the court. It just sounded like a dead vibe
in poly Pavilion. I'm not saying it was. It just
(19:54):
felt that way on TV. It didn't feel like there
was a lot of energy, probably because they were missing
the f on ends a one and one. And I
blame the crowd. I blame Jim Lindberg.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Right, they had seven thousand in change at PAULI announced
last night for the game. I don't think there was
that many people. What's capacity there?
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Ten?
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Ten?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Yeah, but you could have five and they're loud out right,
you know what I mean? Like, this was not a
very boisterous crowd. And then they started acting all offended
when they started missing the front end of one and ones, Like,
how dare you act offended when your team misses nine
free throws?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Our crowd's mind is on the wrong stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Maybe Mick needs to coach the crowd like they do
at A and M you know where they do the cheers.
Everybody shows up for cheer practice that I want to.
I mean, maybe Mick can be like, here, look when
you when a guy deflects the ball out of bounds,
cheer for that. If the guy makes a shot, don't cheer.
We need to dig in and be.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Top no when he makes a free throw. Don't say
anything when he misses a free throw, her lift him up.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Come on, let's try harder.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
So the fans are, they're gonna look at Mick, whether
a thumbs up, thumbs down, What to do like applaud, cheer,
boo hiss?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Well, what if they what if they employ like Sark
and Lane used to have the the towel guys, the
hype crew on the sideline waving there, like what if
you had what if Mick had his own crew? Yeah,
that just kind of like was able to lead, you know,
lead the charge and let people know what to do.
(21:33):
Not a bad idea, right to guide these folks into
how they're supposed to cheer.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
What we're gonna do is every time we miss a
free throw, we're gonna go under brow him.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Oh lind bergh. Geez.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
You could hear Don McClain sense it as the game
was going and this isn't going well.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Away from him, just getting away from him, and you know,
Don can feel it. He can feel Mick. Oh, he
can feel the stress slipping away.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
If you were watching FS one, they kept showing Mick
and his dad. Yeah, the final two minutes is the
lead was going from like seven to five to three
to two, and then they lose the lead and they
just showing both of them and just pulling at their
what's left of their hair.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
A lot of mixed assistants. It's a lot like the
San Diego State guy Sean Lewis, the head football coach.
He's all tall and he has a giant goatee and
like a beard, but he's bald, and like there's like
five guys on the staff that have cultivated the same
look like the Pat Benattar look at Ridgemont High that
(22:44):
a few different women have have have cultivated. And I
see that on Cronin's bench too. He's got a few
baldies that that that are almost look exactly like him.
We're here to support you make different shapes.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Oh well, Josh, it gets a reprieve until Sunday, Ohio
State in town. Another Don McLean has said it many times,
sheil's got to focus on that double bar in the tournament.
That ain't happening.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
True.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
That's right, Josh, that ship is sailed.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
I mean best they can get his five and that's
if other teams lose ahead of right.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Man, I hope that at die Mara can deal with
Clark Kellogg's tricky moves down below.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
True, it's tough, but.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Did Mara play about five minutes? He threw a very
bad pass? Did that was it?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
He got the hook?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
You got Garcia?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I mean winter louse.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Are these guys on defense and I can't get out
there for more than five minutes?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Coach, I gotta be honest, winner, lose you CLA basketball
is the best show.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
All he is.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
I know it's unreal. Thank you for listening. We'll be
right back. James Worthy will join us and we'll talk
about pro basketball.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
It's where we raise our families, earn a living in
enjoy life. But when disaster strikes, it takes all of
us to come together, rebuild and make it home again.
Your Southern California Ford Dealers are helping first responders with
donations and support to the LA Fire Department and California

rebuild and make it home again. La Strong built Ford
Proud Well.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
One of the reasons that his era of the NBA
is the most popular of all time is one of
the reasons he's on today, even though he's got a
bit of a cold coming. Strong is ourn't James Worthy
Spectrum Sports and at La Jersey hangs in the rafters
at the Crypto. The Lakers are back tonight against the Hornets.
(25:09):
A weirdly eventful All Star weekend. When it comes to
the Lakers and James Worthy joins us to discuss it
all Hall of Famer and hero and we hope he feels. Okay,
what's cracking?
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Big game?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
James? How are you? Hey?
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Man?
Speaker 6 (25:24):
I'm fighting it but hanging in there.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Man.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Just a little cold got me down, but nothing's going
to keep me off the techo some money show you.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Ain't not they're gonna break mu stride. Ain't nothing gonna
swoow me though. Uh So I got to keep on moving.
Are you excited about the prospects of this second I mean,
so many people are looking at this Laker team and
they're predicting what's gonna be like in twenty twenty six.
You know, but uh, you who do with this every
(25:54):
night and you go on TV and you got to
deal with it at halftime before and after. Are you
excited about their prospects down to stretch it? It looks
like a pretty good fun team.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
Yeah, I was. Before Luca. I was really happy the
way that the guys were playing. You know, they were
training in the right direction. They had gone out on
the road and won. So now that the trade has,
you know, happened, I'm still optimistic. You know, I still
love Vanderbilt. I still love Vinny Smith, even though we
(26:27):
lost one of my favorite players. And Max Christie Reeves
is stepping up like pistol Pete Marihich, He's playing like
so Lebron. You know. I'm and now with Luca, you know,
we still don't have that that center. But I'm still
excited about you know, what could happen this year if
(26:50):
they continue to keep the mindset that they had prior
to All Star breaks.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
James Woodlow and I think we kind of know where
you're gonna go with this, but I just want to
I don't know, ask Anyway, Dame Lillard at the All
Star Game kind of talked about maybe why they've had
problems fielding teams that are willing to compete at a
level that we would see in a given regular season game.
And one of the things he suggested, And I love
(27:17):
Dame Lillard, he's a great player, plays his ass off,
typically plays eighty two games a year, but he said
he thinks that players now maybe take more of a pounding,
that there's more of an up and down nature to
this game, and it could maybe lead to more pounding
on their knees and stuff. And that just kind of
(27:38):
as we kicked it around here, we just said, we're
talking about eighty Really, you're gonna play twenty minutes eighty
two and a half instead of eighty two games. Is
it really that big of a difference to play that
extra half of one game competitively? And we just can't
quite figure out why it's been so hard.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Your guest is as good. I think it's up to
the players to determine how they want the All Star
weekend to go. And all you got to do is
show up, play hard. You know, it used to mean something,
(28:18):
It used to you know, we used to love to
kick the East ass. It was competitive vice versa. You know,
Larry Bird was playing hard, Magic was playing hard. Yeah,
we entertained Isaiah, Magic knew how to entertain, But when
it came down to it, we wanted to win those
games and we wanted to entertain, and we weren't worrying
about getting hurt or anything like that. And if you
(28:43):
had to play a game on a Friday, hopefully your
last game was on a Thursday. But sometimes guys had
to fly in after Friday, play Saturday, Sunday, get Monday off,
and then come back and play Tuesday. So I don't
I don't understand why anything has to change. I don't
(29:06):
know about the pounding and getting hard. That doesn't make
any sense to me. Is the players have to go
it and say, look, guys, we've turned the Also wee
get into something that we're not familiar with. Nobody likes it.
We got to decide that we're going to come and compete.
Maybe they'll do like National League Baseball, and whoever wins
(29:28):
gets home court advantage. But it's up to the players.
There's no extra work, there's no pounding, there's none of
that's all blody just decide that you're going to entertain
the fans that voted you in. That's just simple, and.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
For whatever reason, it has not happened. For the last
seven eight years, it has been a real issue for
the NBA and trying to figure out how to get
these guys to care. Some say, I don't know if
you think this would work, James, that if you made
it US versus International, that that could lead to a
competitive contest revolving around you know, kind of not necessarily
(30:07):
civic pride, but I guess national pride is what it
would be. Do you think that would have work in
international versus US?
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Yeah? I don't know. And the national team looks pretty strong, right,
you know what I'm saying. And I don't know. I
don't know if the NBA would want that, you know,
I mean, even though they had their international players in
the league, they still believe that the American players, you know,
are the best. So they're going to say, well, what
(30:35):
are the Olympics for us? You know they're gonna but
I wouldn't mind seeing that. I wouldn't mind seeing you know,
one year. Uh, you know, maybe they'd bring back your
old timers game, you know, let us go out there
and break some But I don't know, I don't like that.
I don't like that because if we got the Olympics,
(30:57):
I just think it can be solved. If guys, you know,
guys don't want to go, then say, hey, you know,
sending Austin Reeves. Maybe a combination, maybe a combination of like,
you know, top vote getters, superstars, and then mix in
some some role players. I wouldn't mind seeing Holiday or
(31:19):
Reeves or you know, a really good defensive player in
the All Star game. Mix it up a little bit.
Don't have the top twenty superstars, you know, maybe have
five on a team and then select some other guys
who want to play, who wouldn't mind, you know, going
to the weekend and entertaining the fans and making a
little money. But these current guys, the last I remember,
(31:44):
I remember being in Cleveland and for no reason, they
were just not playing. And I remember Oscar Robinson and
and you know, I think Bill Russell was still alive, dead,
and they were sitting there just like what is going
with this Altarde game? Folk? They got some work to do.
All that money they're making, no excuse I don't want
(32:07):
to hear about. Uh, playing too many minutes? Uh was
my hangnail is hurting something? No, go out there play.
It entertained like it used to be.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
The great James Worthy knows how it used to be
and they can still be that way. Talking to us
on the Petros and Money Show, we are always so
deeply grateful to talk to Big Game James. Uh. Well,
I guess you know in context, what what Lebron did
was was pretty wild. You know, how did you understand
that situation? He showed up and then didn't play and
(32:40):
then didn't change, and I.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
Mean, man, I didn't. I didn't like to look. Uh look,
normal Powell would have loved to have that spot. You
know what I'm saying. Yeah, if you're not if if
you're not going to play, you gotta gotta let people know.
Uh you know team photo. Oh okay, maybe you don't
want to, maybe you don't want to get out of
(33:03):
your out of your your clothes, but I just thought,
if you're going to be in the photo, look be
a part of the team. They're so obvious that he
didn't have a uniform on. So that's something that you know,
I think if you're not going to play, you know,
let somebody know early enough that's you know, get a substitute,
right and and put the uniform on with the rest
(33:26):
of the guys. Lebron is a team guy. He I
think he understands that.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Last one for you, James, the uh, it's a pretty
it's a pretty gnarly schedule here for the Lakers out
of the break. Didn't really notice it because we're just
looking at tonight's game against Charlotte and then Thursday Portland.
But then you got the Nuggets twice, you got the
Clippers twice, you got the you know, your the teams
that are fighting there in the play in with Dallas
and Minnesota, and then you get the Knicks, the Boston
(33:52):
then at Milwaukee. I mean, all the teams a top
the Eastern Conference kind of give us an idea of
what a player's sort of mindset is as you start
they sprint because you don't get the All Star break
in the middle of the season. It's about two thirds
of the way through, and man, it's a gauntlet of
games over the next ten or twelve and how important
these are.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
He's very important, and I'm sure everybody on the team saying,
you know, Luca's a great addition, but we're gonna be
without our rim protector. We don't have a center, we
don't have a d It's gonna be very challenging for Reddick.
And I'm thinking maybe Scott Brooks and Nate McMillan is
(34:33):
a defensive specialist coach, and we don't know how to
come up with the scheme that involves Hays in the
game as a defender. And I don't know who else.
Ruley's gonna have to step up big. I know they
got Lid. He's a seventh foot that's gonna help. That's
really gonna help to have a seven foot body out there.
So it's going to be a challenge for the coaching
(34:55):
staff to get these guys to play without having their
big time we'll protector because with other teams don't see
ad in that paint. It's like a big parking lot
in there. They just like to go in there and
park and stay. So that's gonna be the challenge with
this difficult schedule. We'll cover it up the second half
(35:17):
of season.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
A little under the weather. But he gets down in
the paint and scores twenty and gives us ten rebounds. Anyway,
that's why he's in the Hall of Fame, the Great
James Worthy. We love you, James. We'll enjoy the second
half together, and we'll be watching on Spectrum.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
Thank you, you got it, guy, I take care.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
There he go, James Worthy, presented by your Southern California
Ford Dealers. If your vehicle was damaged by the recent

mountain to the top of personal injury attorney advocacy for

eight hundred and nine zero zero zero zero zero zero.
What's cracking, Sweet James? How are you?
Speaker 8 (37:35):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (37:35):
You know it's Wednesday afternoon. My favorite time move the
week is on with you boys.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
Know it is Matt.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
You know it's his favorite time of the week. You know,
not when he's busting a bottle of christall open on
the Danube River on a yacht. You know, with enough
lifeboats to save everybody. No, no, we we.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
We've been we've been working on.
Speaker 10 (37:58):
We just got a four point nine million dollars like
this this earlier this week, then working all.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Working for the weekend, right, sweet James, because that's a.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Now damn four point nine million.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Does the guy have a body left? Yes, just a head.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
He's a head in one arm.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
I'm all right, all right, it's time to start with
the legal questions, hardcore long and that's what we do
around here on the Petros of Money Show. Matt, would
you like to go first or would you like me
to take my legal expertise for a jaunt around the.
Speaker 10 (38:38):
I would I would prefer Petros because you came out
with a Bond Scott reference right from the get go,
and so there you go and the.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Law and Bond Scott immediately like I love it.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Let's say I'd buy a bottle of seagrums gin and
I'm drinking it in the front seat of my car
and I pass out and I choke on my own vomit.
Can I sue seem.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
That was death by misadventure?
Speaker 6 (39:04):
I think?
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Is it was on the autopsy, isn't it?
Speaker 10 (39:06):
H Yeah, No, you cannot see seagrums.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
No, okay, well, but but let's say I'm famous like
Bond Scott. I mean, could you use some of the
fame to push and get in front of a of
a grand jury or something.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
No, no, you'd see right out. No, okay, wouldn't, Pat Mustard.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Let's try this one here, James. Someone sent us on
the show because you know, we routinely celebrate the Knots
Berry Farm Amusement Park is one of the finest places
on earth and we're fortunate to have it here in
our backyard. And someone sent us on Instagram, some wise
acre comedian making fun of it, saying that Disney's a
(39:47):
safe place and that knots is home to crime and poverty. Now,
can we sue this comedian because those statements are incorrect.
That is slander. That is slander to say you're gonna
get shot. He's got gunshots, sound effects, he like all
that stuff. Can we sue this guy? I don't like
what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
Uh, you may not be able to, but not to be.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Able to, I don't think we were suing on the
behalf of Knots.
Speaker 10 (40:12):
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't think you don't have
a standing as with some pesky little legal term there.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
But yeah, uh, that's who is this guy? Why is
he talking exactly?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
He's some BS comedian that thinks he's funny, that's got
his tourty's underneath his Disney versus knots.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
Yeah, don't even mention his name. He doesn't mean me mentioned.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
I feel like whenever James is on, it's like a
breakdancing contest between Matt and me and James is the audience.
And then Matt pushes me. Matt pushes me out of
the way and does some moves on the cardboard, and
James reacts, and then I come in and start doing
like the robot and James react. We just go back.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
And you know what we do, pee, We push each
other to be our best. That's what's what we do.
We push each other to be at our best.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
It's a legal breakdance. It's a legal breakdancing, all right, James. Uh,
let's it's serious. You know. Yesterday Matt told me Matt,
Matt told me some dark secrets about his childhood. Yes,
oh boy, uh, And you know what, it was a
little disturbing. I gotta be honest, and I drove home.
I shuddered. I was holding onto the steering wheel, and
(41:14):
he told me that whenever him and his brother, whenever
they would sing the song the Queen of Hearts by
Juice Newton, which was his mother's dad great.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Was my mom's favorite song. She would play it on
the forty five.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
But instead of saying, you know, down with the Queen
of Hearts, and then he would him and his brother
would go, yeah, that's a really big fart or something
like that, and go, yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
We would sing it, playing with the Queen of Hearts.
Mama got a really fart and she would get really upset.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
She got mad.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
She would get really mad. We do every time she
played the song.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Well, let's say that happened and she finally cracked, you
know like those shows on Lifetime.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Oh she cracked, all right.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
And she shirked the wheel and like drove into a
fountain in Chicago or something.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Jackson Park, Oh, Jackson Park.
Speaker 4 (41:59):
She have?
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Does she have a case or what?
Speaker 6 (42:03):
Like?
Speaker 3 (42:03):
Look, I'm just.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
That's what she's that's what she's got.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Well, yeah, but can you say my children like that
happens to me all the time. Like I reach back
to choke one of my kids and I lose control
of the wheel. It happens to me like three or
four times a day, you know, I mean, where's my
Where's where?
Speaker 6 (42:20):
I mean?
Speaker 3 (42:20):
Where's the liability that I face against my children?
Speaker 6 (42:23):
Like?
Speaker 3 (42:23):
What don't I get here? Doesn't missus Smith get any
leverage legally?
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Antoinette?
Speaker 10 (42:29):
She gets she gets uh pity and sympathy at.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
The family gatherings and at the borrow she retails the story.
So that's that's what she gets.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
So how about this James.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Playing with the tweetos mom?
Speaker 2 (42:40):
I got to read, but you too, idiots? Shut up?
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Shut up?
Speaker 4 (42:45):
All right?
Speaker 2 (42:48):
What about what about that? Though? What Petro's just mentioned.
Let's say we get a ticket for reckless driving or something, right,
but it's really us just going to slap our kids
around a little bit in the back seat. Yeah, can
we fight the reckless driving and say, hey, look.
Speaker 4 (43:03):
Yeah you can. You could fight it. You could fight
it really hard. You're gonna lose. Adult is responsible, But
it was responsible.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Know how hard it is to swing your back end
and hold on to the Malibu? Damn? Did you ever
get punched while you're riding in a car? Sweet James,
while you're passing?
Speaker 10 (43:23):
Did you know what, I welcomed the bucket seats because
the bench seat was easy.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
For your parents to reach around and then pack you around,
and the bucket seats it's harder.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
The bucket seats.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
We did not have any. But we did not have
any bucket seats in our family. Yeah, well we were
lucky if we were in the back of the station
wagon with no seat belts, you know, just rolling around
that flat steel with our matchbox cars.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
How about how about the seats that stare out of
the back of the car. I'm just gonna wear like
a crossbow wound from the car behind it, all right, James.
Speaker 4 (43:57):
Brat, Brat. That was great, was the super Brat.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
Yeah, with the two bucket seats in the in the bed,
that's a good idea.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
Sweet James. Legal expertise that is absolutely unparalleled here on
the station. Love you guys, Love God, bless Bond Scott.

training game versus the Cubs. First pitch of twelve o
five right here on AM five seven. Many pregame starts
(02:01):
at eleven thirty with David vass and everybody is very excited.
We will have David Vasse in the five o'clock hour
live from Campbell Back Ranch with the latest news is
breaking there very very quickly. Now, Tim am I right
to say? I say asa. Tim Kates, the the producer
(02:23):
of the Petrosen Money Show and the Dodgers Morongo Casino,
Dodgers on Deck host, the host of Saxon Kate's in
the Am. Didn't Sacks just take a job with the A's.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
I think he's working on their TV broadcast.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I believe he is.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
I think so with Cabnar, I don't know. I don't
know who he's working with. I think it's maybe a studio.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Work for he lives in Sacramento.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
That's that's the tie.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, I can mudcats, gotcha.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, so he can drive over to the Golden Drawbridge
and do his Saxy dance.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
He worked for their Triple A team last year on
TV broadcast, and now that the A's are there, he's
just sliding in.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
So that doesn't necessarily kill Sax and Kates in the AM.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
I hope not.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
No, Well, the A's aren't making the postseasons, I would
assume his work will be done right. Well, I was
gonna scam would roll up. Not understandable.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I was concerned about that. So Sax and Kates in
the AM not dead, even though he did take a
job with the Sacramento Interim A's on the television broadcast.
So that's congratulations to Steve Sacks. But Tim, do you
know that the powers that be above us today because
the Dodgers are the biggest thing in town, and Otani
(03:35):
and so on and so forth, and this very very
exciting trip to Japan. It's upcoming. Did we pick up
more Dodgers spring training games than we normally do?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Or is it.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Status quo in the world of Ami seventy LA sports
the blowtor?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Well, a lot of it depends on the Clippers schedule
and UCLA basketball because they're spring training games, so you
don't want to have a conflict there. No, I think
it's the normal amount sports in LA is doing all
of them. I think we're doing almost all over.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yes, we're doing almost all the spring training games.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
I want to say it's like eighteen maybe something like that.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Well, it's the biggest team in town, not even close.
If you got access to them games, why wouldn't you
run them? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
I mean Tim nevertd and Rick Monday on the car.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I mean I like listening to Rogan and Rodney punch
each other in the face as much as the next guy.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
But I mean I'm looking at noon noon noon, No noon,
no noon noon noon. Here's a five oh five pm
against the Angels on Friday.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Did she try to du up?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
And I did?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Prompt noon noon no.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
No noon, No, here's a Tuesday at five o'clock. Then
a noon noon, and then a five point forty and
then a noon one one one.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I like it when the split squad comes up and
grabs your nuts.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Oh yeah, and you're like, who is that guy? Spit
squad man, split squad?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Where's Freddy?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
He's playing at night talking stick.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
So what you're telling me is we're gonna have the
best damn leading in town. We're gonna dodge your baseball
taking us to Petros at Money.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
You got better hit it out of the park.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I like the pun there, boss.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Well, actually you know what, No, we won't, right because
those spring training games tend to wrap up in about
two hours, so you'd have a Rogan a sliver of
Rogan and Rodney, right, you'd have an hour of Rogan
and Rodney or four minutes or so.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
This has been scheduled talking. Yes, it is on the
Petros and Money Show. Just know this tomorrow. We'll be
on right when the game's over, and we'll be off
right at four o'clock because the Clippers are taking on
the Milwaukee Buck So a short show tomorrow. There's two
things going on that broke last night and today that
(05:41):
are prevalent to what we did. I prophesized. I didn't
want to, but I said, damn it. If UCLA loses
tonight and Mick Cronin doesn't get his five hundred win
with his dad, hep in the crowd and his beautiful
head of hair, Josh Lewin is going to be bludgeoned
(06:01):
verbally in the postgame interview.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
You did make that proclamation.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I did not want it to be true. I did it.
I did not want it to be I wanted Nick
to have a five hundred win with his dad. I did.
You can't tell me what I wanted. I wanted it.
I didn't want that flaming super saane head, a guy
from Minnesota, or Rodriguez to score thirty two. Dawson Garcia, Garcia,
(06:27):
that's one. That's what I said. I didn't want him
to score thirty two and humiliate Mick Cronin in front
of his dad. But that's what happened. I can't control it.
I can't control it either could any player. They couldn't
control it. No, they couldn't make their free throws. So
that was like the one thing that happened, and then
the other thing that happened, and I don't know which one.
(06:49):
We're supposed to get into or which one we want
to do first. The other thing that happened is Matt
is going to Brazil, and I'm sure we'll talk about
that as the show goes on. But the Chargers, I
don't know who they're playing out of me, they're playing,
they're playing somebody. That's an inside joke. Everybody we know
they speak Portuguese in Brazil. Maybe Kate's doesn't. But Kate
(07:14):
seems to have a real block south of.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
The border, he really does. I think it's Central America
that really throws him for a loop. If it were
up to Kates, North America and South America would just.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Beque you know, Gates. You know, it's kind of like
the Gulf of America. It's a new thing, you know,
Central America. It's hard for him to get, you know,
I mean because it's a pretty new concept, you know,
the Central America thing. You know, it's something that we
all have to get.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Used certainly, you know, it in its infancy, right.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So, uh, Matt is going to go to actually to
South America, which is where I understand Brazil is. It's
a massively big country. South Paolo is a massively large
city and that is where the Chargers are going. Who
are they play a Brazilian team of footballers that has
started training now, and they will be ready to go.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
They got a head they got a real head start.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, they will be ready to go by the time
the Chargers come down there.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
And there's six international games this year.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
It's crazy, probably twelve next year.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
They're going to Berlin, Ireland, Madrid. Unreal.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Well, Madrid's not that far of a trip. We established
that yesterday.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Down South London, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
How come they never play in Canada?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
It's a great question, right, it's a great question because
you have the.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Can't be worse than the guy in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Well, oh you know what, No, I know what it is.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
It's the CFL.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, CFL's got got right. You can't go in there.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
It's called the Great Man. The Alouettes through a hissy fit.
They freaked out when they heard the NFL was coming.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Both rough riders. Yes, they threatened to ride roff all
over the NFL. Don't you cross that border, you bitch
a uh so battes. Those are two things that are
going on. Matt's going to Brazil.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
How many Canadian football teams can you do.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Like right off the top of my head, Yeah, the
Aloettes Montreal, the rough Riders Saskatchewan, and then there's another
rough rider, but they might be gone. There was two
rough riders riding rough all over each other. Uh, there's
the our goals are going on. Uh, you know, right
on the spot in the limelight. That's about all I
can do.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I think that's yeah, I'm right there. I don't have
anything else. Do you have the Vancouver Do we know?
Is there a British Columbia maybe as opposed to.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, the British Columbia farts sniffers.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, the old I just pulled it up here.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
What do we got cakes?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
We have Calgary Stampede. Good one, Calgary Stampeder's.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I didn't look that up either.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
The Edmonton Elks did not know that.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
That's that's got to be a change from something. There
were the Eskimos. They were the Edmonton Eskimos, and they
were awesome and they got rid of it.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
They had the Southwest Airline guy on the helmet.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
That's the the Red Hawks of Saint John's is kind
of over the copy of that.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
The British Columbia Lions red storm.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
There we go. Seeh I had a feeling it wasn't Vancouver.
So British Columbia Lions, Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Oh, yes, that's
an old one, okay.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah, the Blue Bombers.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, they've been going for a while.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
You guys mentioned the Aloettes and the Argonauts, the Hamilton
Tiger Cat, Yes, the old tiger Cat. There's one more alright,
Amazon Odawa red Blacks all right, red black red blacks.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Now that sounds like another adjustment, right.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Only Native American and black guys on that team.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Yes, look at the roster right now.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yep, copy well in large intoit community certainly. But yeah,
I don't know how we got on that. Oh yeah,
that's international travel of matts Man.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Yes, truly.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
And I hate to be right, Matt, I hate to
be right. I just I didn't want Mick Cronin to
put Josh Lewin in the town square like the gangs
in New York. Just hang them up there.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
To day he was bludgeoned. He was how much?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
How long?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
How much of this are we going to play? Cats?
How much you're gonna get? How long was it? Would
you say?
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Not very long?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
It's four minutes. Okay, four minutes.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Here it is. We welcome in the coach.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
I'm not sugarcoating it. I ain't messing them around.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
It's Cronin talk. When Mick speaks, we all listen.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I got broned.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Some people, don't I do. It's Cronin talk.
Speaker 8 (11:36):
Coach McK cronin is gracious enough to join us right now,
and he's putting on the headsets and the missing end
of nine.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Can we stop? I feel so nervous. I've heard this
and I'm nervous.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
The first time I heard it. I have to and
you know how much I love this, you do, but
I actually put my head down on the desk and
I went, oh god, oh god, I was that uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I have heard this, and I'm like, it's like a.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
In your stomach.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
It's like when you read about Lincoln's assassination and you
just hope that that one.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Time you're reading that it changes.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
If the door's locked, booth, can't it in there? Nothing
happens to Lincoln. He's able to govern in his second term.
Speaker 8 (12:24):
Coach mc cronan is gracious enough to join us right now,
and he's putting on the headsets and the missing eight
of nine free throws down the stretch obviously makes what
we were talking most about. And you don't make a
free throws here at home, that I guess just doesn't
set up.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Well, what's the difference of its Homer Road?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
True?
Speaker 7 (12:43):
What if the game's on Mars and you miss eight
of nine?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
I'm just curious what the hell the difference is if
you're at Homer on the road?
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Well?
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Yeah, missing the free throws we thought was the story?
Speaker 7 (12:58):
Okay, I'm just waiting for h Well, I mean.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Is that an anomaly or is that a concern? Or
what else did you take out of the game tonight.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
We've struggled to make free throws in particular our guards
for quite a while, so that's sure. It's a concern
how we gonna win, how we're gonna be a factor
of a team he can't make free throws?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Hey, gotta be, John Bearding, I'll be.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
You want my take on the game?
Speaker 7 (13:26):
I was waiting for you to ask all the time.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
So sure, the.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Uh, the tougher team won. Even if we would have
won this game, I would have been sick about our
attitude and our approach to the game.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Even though we got up.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
I was at I'm out on the court screaming at
guys to get guys to play hard. Our attitude was
terrible in our preparation, and we paid the price.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
And then you try to flip the switch.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
The other team is humble, and they'll duck in, they'll
box out, they'll hit people, they'll protect the paint. I
told you I was impressed with coach Ben and what
the job he's done with his team. I don't look
at records. Sometimes the guy with the most talent wins.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Anyway.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Now we didn't tonight, and we got what we deserved.
Our attitude sucks, Okay, we got some guy and when
all you worry about is what in the crowds, the
same way everybody's worried about whether the ball goes in.
The guy's not trying to miss a free throw, and
the oohing and on just makes it worse. Okay, instead
of just how about this, cheer for the team's and
(14:43):
let's let's try to get defensive stops. But you know,
we're worried about the wrong things. I got guys taking
off balanced shots and your mind's not on defense at all.
And we got what we deserve, even if they to me,
like I've been in a rebuilding when you're trying to
(15:03):
build a program like ben is, you can lose games,
but you win in my mind because your team competed
better than the other team. So even if we don't
won this game tonight, I'd have been sick all night.
So our attitude suck. We got what we deserve if
you want my that's my observation.
Speaker 9 (15:24):
So you go into the locker room where eleven point lead.
What what happened at halftime with these guys. That's what
I'm trying to figure out. That's what it is. It's
not this game.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
I'm just going to tell you this b we we
tonight and I'm just don't let this game we got.
I'm gonna I don't know how I can say to
so many ways I can say, we got guys worried
about whether their ball goes in, whether it's their shot
or their free throw, and they're not focused on the
game plan, scouting report, defense, rebounding.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
We get beat the.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
Loose ball after loose ball, it's the glass in the
second half because our mind is on the wrong stuff.
And when you're trying to build a program, and that's
why I have respect for coach Ben because their mind's
on the right stuff and they could easily quit, they
could easily pack it in, but they're still scrapping and
fighting even though they're not in that large tournament team.
(16:23):
So that's why you know, I knew watching on the film.
I saw it on the film. I told the guys
at halftime, I've seen them. They don't give up. Got
a lot of respect for him, But we act like
Prima Donna's and we got what we deserved.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
So it's all my fault.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
I'm the coach failed miserably at keeping our team humble
and ready to fight.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
So get out, Josh, you're coming out.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Nick, thank you for joining us.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
You've got it.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You got it in Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Takes it sixty four to sixty.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
One, mercifully coming to an end.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
That was great, well done, well handled, Josh.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Now I want to say this, UCLA could lose every
game for the rest of the year.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
It's a rough schedule and Mick could.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Never get to his five hundred win in twenty twenty five,
and he still had more impact in town than Lincoln Riley.
Other than the fact that Lincoln Riley well the comparison.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
How is that even a conversation, people.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
On the other show are acting like it's some kind
of victory that UCLA was embarrassed last night, like that
somehow diminishes what Mick Cronin has accomplished, as opposed to
Lincoln Riley, who's accomplished nothing but really an individual award,
and then us he has fallen off and there's no
buzz in town about them at all, and they can't
even spend a good deal of their nil money Mick
(17:45):
Cronan and Mick Cronan is much better for UCLA because
let's say he does go crazy and actually killed Josh Lewin,
there's a buyout. Yeah, yeah, I know, there's a buyout
that's not one hundred million dollars that hasn't crippled the
entire school and its identity program, USC football like Lincoln
Riley has for us C. Thank you, thank you, But
(18:10):
still not a great night for Mick, U c l
A or anybody involved. And like like Mick especially well,
well for me, I blame exactly what Mick does. I
blame the crowd, each and every one of those freaking students.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Jim Lindberg and his family was in the crowd last night.
I saw on Instagram, and it's on them. It's on them.
They reacted poorly when U C. L A missed the
front end of a one on one.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Was that what Mick was doing there was he was
he trolling Jim Lindberg.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Like trying to do.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
They make it worse when a guy misses a free
throw you, I mean distress in the and Paulie's crazy
when a guy the.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Guys lin Bergh that.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I didn't know going after Lindbergh. No, I did not know, Matt.
I did not know despite our prophecy. Like Isaiah the
Profit of Old, I did not know that UCLA was
going to blow it last night. It started to look
like it as the game went on. I I did
not know that any of that stuff was going to happen.
(19:33):
I had no idea. However, while I was watching the
game on FS one, I did have And I don't know,
maybe Kate who's the host of Bruin Talk, or maybe
you felt it too. I was like, man, that crowd
sounds dead, Like you can hear everybody yelling and screaming
on the court. It just sounded like a dead vibe
in poly Pavilion. I'm not saying it was. It just
(19:54):
felt that way on TV. It didn't feel like there
was a lot of energy, probably because they were missing
the f on ends a one and one. And I
blame the crowd. I blame Jim Lindberg.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Right, they had seven thousand in change at PAULI announced
last night for the game. I don't think there was
that many people. What's capacity there?
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Ten?
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Ten?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Yeah, but you could have five and they're loud out right,
you know what I mean? Like, this was not a
very boisterous crowd. And then they started acting all offended
when they started missing the front end of one and ones, Like,
how dare you act offended when your team misses nine
free throws?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Our crowd's mind is on the wrong stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Maybe Mick needs to coach the crowd like they do
at A and M you know where they do the cheers.
Everybody shows up for cheer practice that I want to.
I mean, maybe Mick can be like, here, look when
you when a guy deflects the ball out of bounds,
cheer for that. If the guy makes a shot, don't cheer.
We need to dig in and be.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Top no when he makes a free throw. Don't say
anything when he misses a free throw, her lift him up.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Come on, let's try harder.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
So the fans are, they're gonna look at Mick, whether
a thumbs up, thumbs down, What to do like applaud, cheer,
boo hiss?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Well, what if they what if they employ like Sark
and Lane used to have the the towel guys, the
hype crew on the sideline waving there, like what if
you had what if Mick had his own crew? Yeah,
that just kind of like was able to lead, you know,
lead the charge and let people know what to do.
(21:33):
Not a bad idea, right to guide these folks into
how they're supposed to cheer.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
What we're gonna do is every time we miss a
free throw, we're gonna go under brow him.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Oh lind bergh. Geez.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
You could hear Don McClain sense it as the game
was going and this isn't going well.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Away from him, just getting away from him, and you know,
Don can feel it. He can feel Mick. Oh, he
can feel the stress slipping away.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
If you were watching FS one, they kept showing Mick
and his dad. Yeah, the final two minutes is the
lead was going from like seven to five to three
to two, and then they lose the lead and they
just showing both of them and just pulling at their
what's left of their hair.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
A lot of mixed assistants. It's a lot like the
San Diego State guy Sean Lewis, the head football coach.
He's all tall and he has a giant goatee and
like a beard, but he's bald, and like there's like
five guys on the staff that have cultivated the same
look like the Pat Benattar look at Ridgemont High that
(22:44):
a few different women have have have cultivated. And I
see that on Cronin's bench too. He's got a few
baldies that that that are almost look exactly like him.
We're here to support you make different shapes.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Oh well, Josh, it gets a reprieve until Sunday, Ohio
State in town. Another Don McLean has said it many times,
sheil's got to focus on that double bar in the tournament.
That ain't happening.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
True.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
That's right, Josh, that ship is sailed.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
I mean best they can get his five and that's
if other teams lose ahead of right.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Man, I hope that at die Mara can deal with
Clark Kellogg's tricky moves down below.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
True, it's tough, but.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Did Mara play about five minutes? He threw a very
bad pass? Did that was it?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
He got the hook?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
You got Garcia?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I mean winter louse.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Are these guys on defense and I can't get out
there for more than five minutes?

One of the reasons that his era of the NBA
is the most popular of all time is one of
the reasons he's on today, even though he's got a
bit of a cold coming. Strong is ourn't James Worthy
Spectrum Sports and at La Jersey hangs in the rafters
at the Crypto. The Lakers are back tonight against the Hornets.
(25:09):
A weirdly eventful All Star weekend. When it comes to
the Lakers and James Worthy joins us to discuss it
all Hall of Famer and hero and we hope he feels. Okay,
what's cracking?
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Big game?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
James? How are you? Hey?
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Man?
Speaker 6 (25:24):
I'm fighting it but hanging in there.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Man.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Just a little cold got me down, but nothing's going
to keep me off the techo some money show you.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Ain't not they're gonna break mu stride. Ain't nothing gonna
swoow me though. Uh So I got to keep on moving.
Are you excited about the prospects of this second I mean,
so many people are looking at this Laker team and
they're predicting what's gonna be like in twenty twenty six.
You know, but uh, you who do with this every
(25:54):
night and you go on TV and you got to
deal with it at halftime before and after. Are you
excited about their prospects down to stretch it? It looks
like a pretty good fun team.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
Yeah, I was. Before Luca. I was really happy the
way that the guys were playing. You know, they were
training in the right direction. They had gone out on
the road and won. So now that the trade has,
you know, happened, I'm still optimistic. You know, I still
love Vanderbilt. I still love Vinny Smith, even though we
(26:27):
lost one of my favorite players. And Max Christie Reeves
is stepping up like pistol Pete Marihich, He's playing like
so Lebron. You know. I'm and now with Luca, you know,
we still don't have that that center. But I'm still
excited about you know, what could happen this year if
(26:50):
they continue to keep the mindset that they had prior
to All Star breaks.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
James Woodlow and I think we kind of know where
you're gonna go with this, but I just want to
I don't know, ask Anyway, Dame Lillard at the All
Star Game kind of talked about maybe why they've had
problems fielding teams that are willing to compete at a
level that we would see in a given regular season game.
And one of the things he suggested, And I love
(27:17):
Dame Lillard, he's a great player, plays his ass off,
typically plays eighty two games a year, but he said
he thinks that players now maybe take more of a pounding,
that there's more of an up and down nature to
this game, and it could maybe lead to more pounding
on their knees and stuff. And that just kind of
(27:38):
as we kicked it around here, we just said, we're
talking about eighty Really, you're gonna play twenty minutes eighty
two and a half instead of eighty two games. Is
it really that big of a difference to play that
extra half of one game competitively? And we just can't
quite figure out why it's been so hard.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Your guest is as good. I think it's up to
the players to determine how they want the All Star
weekend to go. And all you got to do is
show up, play hard. You know, it used to mean something,
(28:18):
It used to you know, we used to love to
kick the East ass. It was competitive vice versa. You know,
Larry Bird was playing hard, Magic was playing hard. Yeah,
we entertained Isaiah, Magic knew how to entertain, But when
it came down to it, we wanted to win those
games and we wanted to entertain, and we weren't worrying
about getting hurt or anything like that. And if you
(28:43):
had to play a game on a Friday, hopefully your
last game was on a Thursday. But sometimes guys had
to fly in after Friday, play Saturday, Sunday, get Monday off,
and then come back and play Tuesday. So I don't
I don't understand why anything has to change. I don't
(29:06):
know about the pounding and getting hard. That doesn't make
any sense to me. Is the players have to go
it and say, look, guys, we've turned the Also wee
get into something that we're not familiar with. Nobody likes it.
We got to decide that we're going to come and compete.
Maybe they'll do like National League Baseball, and whoever wins
(29:28):
gets home court advantage. But it's up to the players.
There's no extra work, there's no pounding, there's none of
that's all blody just decide that you're going to entertain
the fans that voted you in. That's just simple, and.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
For whatever reason, it has not happened. For the last
seven eight years, it has been a real issue for
the NBA and trying to figure out how to get
these guys to care. Some say, I don't know if
you think this would work, James, that if you made
it US versus International, that that could lead to a
competitive contest revolving around you know, kind of not necessarily
(30:07):
civic pride, but I guess national pride is what it
would be. Do you think that would have work in
international versus US?
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Yeah? I don't know. And the national team looks pretty strong, right,
you know what I'm saying. And I don't know. I
don't know if the NBA would want that, you know,
I mean, even though they had their international players in
the league, they still believe that the American players, you know,
are the best. So they're going to say, well, what
(30:35):
are the Olympics for us? You know they're gonna but
I wouldn't mind seeing that. I wouldn't mind seeing you know,
one year. Uh, you know, maybe they'd bring back your
old timers game, you know, let us go out there
and break some But I don't know, I don't like that.
I don't like that because if we got the Olympics,
(30:57):
I just think it can be solved. If guys, you know,
guys don't want to go, then say, hey, you know,
sending Austin Reeves. Maybe a combination, maybe a combination of like,
you know, top vote getters, superstars, and then mix in
some some role players. I wouldn't mind seeing Holiday or
(31:19):
Reeves or you know, a really good defensive player in
the All Star game. Mix it up a little bit.
Don't have the top twenty superstars, you know, maybe have
five on a team and then select some other guys
who want to play, who wouldn't mind, you know, going
to the weekend and entertaining the fans and making a
little money. But these current guys, the last I remember,
(31:44):
I remember being in Cleveland and for no reason, they
were just not playing. And I remember Oscar Robinson and
and you know, I think Bill Russell was still alive, dead,
and they were sitting there just like what is going
with this Altarde game? Folk? They got some work to do.
All that money they're making, no excuse I don't want
(32:07):
to hear about. Uh, playing too many minutes? Uh was
my hangnail is hurting something? No, go out there play.
It entertained like it used to be.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
The great James Worthy knows how it used to be
and they can still be that way. Talking to us
on the Petros and Money Show, we are always so
deeply grateful to talk to Big Game James. Uh. Well,
I guess you know in context, what what Lebron did
was was pretty wild. You know, how did you understand
that situation? He showed up and then didn't play and
(32:40):
then didn't change, and I.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
Mean, man, I didn't. I didn't like to look. Uh look,
normal Powell would have loved to have that spot. You
know what I'm saying. Yeah, if you're not if if
you're not going to play, you gotta gotta let people know.
Uh you know team photo. Oh okay, maybe you don't
want to, maybe you don't want to get out of
(33:03):
your out of your your clothes, but I just thought,
if you're going to be in the photo, look be
a part of the team. They're so obvious that he
didn't have a uniform on. So that's something that you know,
I think if you're not going to play, you know,
let somebody know early enough that's you know, get a substitute,
right and and put the uniform on with the rest
(33:26):
of the guys. Lebron is a team guy. He I
think he understands that.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Last one for you, James, the uh, it's a pretty
it's a pretty gnarly schedule here for the Lakers out
of the break. Didn't really notice it because we're just
looking at tonight's game against Charlotte and then Thursday Portland.
But then you got the Nuggets twice, you got the
Clippers twice, you got the you know, your the teams
that are fighting there in the play in with Dallas
and Minnesota, and then you get the Knicks, the Boston
(33:52):
then at Milwaukee. I mean, all the teams a top
the Eastern Conference kind of give us an idea of
what a player's sort of mindset is as you start
they sprint because you don't get the All Star break
in the middle of the season. It's about two thirds
of the way through, and man, it's a gauntlet of
games over the next ten or twelve and how important
these are.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
He's very important, and I'm sure everybody on the team saying,
you know, Luca's a great addition, but we're gonna be
without our rim protector. We don't have a center, we
don't have a d It's gonna be very challenging for Reddick.
And I'm thinking maybe Scott Brooks and Nate McMillan is
(34:33):
a defensive specialist coach, and we don't know how to
come up with the scheme that involves Hays in the
game as a defender. And I don't know who else.
Ruley's gonna have to step up big. I know they
got Lid. He's a seventh foot that's gonna help. That's
really gonna help to have a seven foot body out there.
So it's going to be a challenge for the coaching
(34:55):
staff to get these guys to play without having their
big time we'll protector because with other teams don't see
ad in that paint. It's like a big parking lot
in there. They just like to go in there and
park and stay. So that's gonna be the challenge with
this difficult schedule. We'll cover it up the second half
(35:17):
of season.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
A little under the weather. But he gets down in
the paint and scores twenty and gives us ten rebounds. Anyway,
that's why he's in the Hall of Fame, the Great
James Worthy. We love you, James. We'll enjoy the second
half together, and we'll be watching on Spectrum.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
Thank you, you got it, guy, I take care.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
There he go, James Worthy, presented by your Southern California
Ford Dealers. If your vehicle was damaged by the recent
La Area fires, so Southern California four Dealers are offering

Sweet James and your name's next? Oh, Sweet James is
gonna join us? Now here we go, Sue Lebron. Wait,
we have to right. I got a lot of corporate
money tied up in that bomber.
Speaker 2 (36:22):

Speaker 3 (36:47):

Speaker 1 (36:55):
It's time for justice with Sweet James.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Well, you know on Scott who died today said it messed.
It's a long way to the top if you want
to rock and roll, And Sweet James has climbed that
mountain to the top of personal injury attorney advocacy for

eight hundred and nine zero zero zero zero zero zero.
What's cracking, Sweet James? How are you?
Speaker 8 (37:35):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (37:35):
You know it's Wednesday afternoon. My favorite time move the
week is on with you boys.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
Know it is Matt.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
You know it's his favorite time of the week. You know,
not when he's busting a bottle of christall open on
the Danube River on a yacht. You know, with enough
lifeboats to save everybody. No, no, we we.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
We've been we've been working on.
Speaker 10 (37:58):
We just got a four point nine million dollars like
this this earlier this week, then working all.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Working for the weekend, right, sweet James, because that's a.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Now damn four point nine million.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Does the guy have a body left? Yes, just a head.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
He's a head in one arm.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
I'm all right, all right, it's time to start with
the legal questions, hardcore long and that's what we do
around here on the Petros of Money Show. Matt, would
you like to go first or would you like me
to take my legal expertise for a jaunt around the.
Speaker 10 (38:38):
I would I would prefer Petros because you came out
with a Bond Scott reference right from the get go,
and so there you go and the.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Law and Bond Scott immediately like I love it.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Let's say I'd buy a bottle of seagrums gin and
I'm drinking it in the front seat of my car
and I pass out and I choke on my own vomit.
Can I sue seem.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
That was death by misadventure?
Speaker 6 (39:04):
I think?
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Is it was on the autopsy, isn't it?
Speaker 10 (39:06):
H Yeah, No, you cannot see seagrums.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
No, okay, well, but but let's say I'm famous like
Bond Scott. I mean, could you use some of the
fame to push and get in front of a of
a grand jury or something.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
No, no, you'd see right out. No, okay, wouldn't, Pat Mustard.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Let's try this one here, James. Someone sent us on
the show because you know, we routinely celebrate the Knots
Berry Farm Amusement Park is one of the finest places
on earth and we're fortunate to have it here in
our backyard. And someone sent us on Instagram, some wise
acre comedian making fun of it, saying that Disney's a
(39:47):
safe place and that knots is home to crime and poverty. Now,
can we sue this comedian because those statements are incorrect.
That is slander. That is slander to say you're gonna
get shot. He's got gunshots, sound effects, he like all
that stuff. Can we sue this guy? I don't like
what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
Uh, you may not be able to, but not to be.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Able to, I don't think we were suing on the
behalf of Knots.
Speaker 10 (40:12):
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't think you don't have
a standing as with some pesky little legal term there.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
But yeah, uh, that's who is this guy? Why is
he talking exactly?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
He's some BS comedian that thinks he's funny, that's got
his tourty's underneath his Disney versus knots.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
Yeah, don't even mention his name. He doesn't mean me mentioned.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
I feel like whenever James is on, it's like a
breakdancing contest between Matt and me and James is the audience.
And then Matt pushes me. Matt pushes me out of
the way and does some moves on the cardboard, and
James reacts, and then I come in and start doing
like the robot and James react. We just go back.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
And you know what we do, pee, We push each
other to be our best. That's what's what we do.
We push each other to be at our best.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
It's a legal breakdance. It's a legal breakdancing, all right, James. Uh,
let's it's serious. You know. Yesterday Matt told me Matt,
Matt told me some dark secrets about his childhood. Yes,
oh boy, uh, And you know what, it was a
little disturbing. I gotta be honest, and I drove home.
I shuddered. I was holding onto the steering wheel, and
(41:14):
he told me that whenever him and his brother, whenever
they would sing the song the Queen of Hearts by
Juice Newton, which was his mother's dad great.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Was my mom's favorite song. She would play it on
the forty five.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
But instead of saying, you know, down with the Queen
of Hearts, and then he would him and his brother
would go, yeah, that's a really big fart or something
like that, and go, yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
We would sing it, playing with the Queen of Hearts.
Mama got a really fart and she would get really upset.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
She got mad.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
She would get really mad. We do every time she
played the song.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Well, let's say that happened and she finally cracked, you
know like those shows on Lifetime.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Oh she cracked, all right.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
And she shirked the wheel and like drove into a
fountain in Chicago or something.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Jackson Park, Oh, Jackson Park.
Speaker 4 (41:59):
She have?
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Does she have a case or what?
Speaker 6 (42:03):
Like?
Speaker 3 (42:03):
Look, I'm just.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
That's what she's that's what she's got.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Well, yeah, but can you say my children like that
happens to me all the time. Like I reach back
to choke one of my kids and I lose control
of the wheel. It happens to me like three or
four times a day, you know, I mean, where's my
Where's where?
Speaker 6 (42:20):
I mean?
Speaker 3 (42:20):
Where's the liability that I face against my children?
Speaker 6 (42:23):
Like?
Speaker 3 (42:23):
What don't I get here? Doesn't missus Smith get any
leverage legally?
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Antoinette?
Speaker 10 (42:29):
She gets she gets uh pity and sympathy at.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
The family gatherings and at the borrow she retails the story.
So that's that's what she gets.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
So how about this James.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Playing with the tweetos mom?
Speaker 2 (42:40):
I got to read, but you too, idiots? Shut up?
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Shut up?
Speaker 4 (42:45):
All right?
Speaker 2 (42:48):
What about what about that? Though? What Petro's just mentioned.
Let's say we get a ticket for reckless driving or something, right,
but it's really us just going to slap our kids
around a little bit in the back seat. Yeah, can
we fight the reckless driving and say, hey, look.
Speaker 4 (43:03):
Yeah you can. You could fight it. You could fight
it really hard. You're gonna lose. Adult is responsible, But
it was responsible.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Know how hard it is to swing your back end
and hold on to the Malibu? Damn? Did you ever
get punched while you're riding in a car? Sweet James,
while you're passing?
Speaker 10 (43:23):
Did you know what, I welcomed the bucket seats because
the bench seat was easy.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
For your parents to reach around and then pack you around,
and the bucket seats it's harder.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
The bucket seats.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
We did not have any. But we did not have
any bucket seats in our family. Yeah, well we were
lucky if we were in the back of the station
wagon with no seat belts, you know, just rolling around
that flat steel with our matchbox cars.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
How about how about the seats that stare out of
the back of the car. I'm just gonna wear like
a crossbow wound from the car behind it, all right, James.
Speaker 4 (43:57):
Brat, Brat. That was great, was the super Brat.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
Yeah, with the two bucket seats in the in the bed,
that's a good idea.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
Sweet James. Legal expertise that is absolutely unparalleled here on
the station. Love you guys, Love God, bless Bond Scott.
Speaker 4 (44:15):
Is that Ronnie playing some bon Scott? Thank you?
Speaker 3 (44:17):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
All right, Love you guys, have fun on the Danube.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
This bottle of per Node on the Danube eight hundred
and nine million, or Sweet James dot com for the
dense pair of justice. Nobody's better and we'll be back
with you here on a five seventy l A Sports
with your word number song of the day. We have
