Speaker 4 (02:27):
Producer shows everybody let mk all Right, it happened. It
took a little while, but somebody finally came to Kates's
defense on the secret text do so live this says
all Captain Saba ho Kates by saying, I will gawk

(02:50):
and admire a woman six pack and or swollen body,
but not be sexually attracted to the woman, but will
salute the ladies dedication to transforming and maintaining her chiseled body.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
I like a chick with pecks. That's just me.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Well, yeah, I mean everybody knows that, Matt that you
won't date a woman unless she has that huge ripple
between her chest, you know, like going right down her
sternam to show that you know she has packs. But
what do you think of that, Kate? You feel a
little better about that. You're just admiring the guy's legs
as an athletic specimen.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Right, that was a very detailed text. I don't know
if I go to that extent, but yes, I guess.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Well, it was a chick, man, it was a chick Kate.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
Dave Robertson just said that they expect Dalton Rushing to
start about twice a week behind the plate, and they
don't know if he's going to play outfield other days
of the week.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
What about first base? The first basement sucks.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, I'm not sure about that. Play of the month.
Oh yeah, I feel like the first basement's the player
of the month.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Well, you know what McK cronin says, peacock today.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Feather duster tomorrow. That's even if Rushing's just a replacement
for Austin Barnes, that's probably a huge upgrade.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah, don't mean to you know, what do you mean? Well,
you know what kind of catcher is he cates mister
farm report farm.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
He's a left handed hitting power catcher a lot of
what does that mean he catches the bong goes, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
That's exactly what he does.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
He makes a grunting sound when.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
He's skills would you say, are less than desirable?

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Kind of like Will Smith out there.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
He's a very good defensive catcher, but he's not quite
to where Will Smith and Austin Barnes on.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
But he's not going to throw the ball and try
to get Freddy Freeman's arm ripped off like Will Smith did.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I hope he doesn't do that.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
No, A lot of comparisons to Kyle Schwarber, a guy
who is now a d H outfielder, first baseman in baseball.
Very similar look, left handed pop, not a big guy,
but very stout.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Kys Schwarber thought he had some big legs.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
He's got bigger legs. Yeah, you got big legs. I'm
thinking stout. I'm not thinking a logger. I'm thinking of stout.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
I like to think of it.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
As a as a that's a whiskey drink.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
No more like a brown ale.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
Oh yeah, nice brown Ale, downtown brown. His words, the
word of the day, Today's word of the day.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
This portal, now, Matt.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
The ACC football coaches meetings came and went yesterday in Florida,
And what was everybody talking about here in LA. We
didn't know what was going on. We just saw the
video of Bill Belichick on Sports Center being asked about
his chick, Jordan Hudson side And I'm so tired of
people like Softy said this to me today, like, hey,

(05:53):
if you saw if you were seventy and that hot
twenty four year old wanted to be. It's like, what
do I have to sit at the the pageant? Do
I have to pose with her on the beach in
a rain slicker like I'm the Van Camp's fisherman.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yes, I don't need to engage in a romantic conversation
with a twenty four year old Thank you, softy, appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah, but what if that hot twenty four year old.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Pal I know what, well, thank you.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
But we didn't know other than what Bill Belichick was
talking yesterday. But that was not the biggest thing to
happen at the meetings. Matt, there's a report of space trash.
That was a little nugget from our friend college football insider,
former guest on the show and a really great guy,
Brett McMurphy. Mcmurph, who was at ESPEN for a long

(06:43):
time now at Action Network because he's all about that Action.
Bob was in Florida covering the ACC coaches meetings and
tweeted out the following yesterday. A couple of ACC coaches
summing up available players in the transfer portal wote it's.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Full of trash right now. There's no one worth at it.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
I'm sorry the portal. Take your head of the.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Portal right now, and you're gonna get hit in the
face with some space trash.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's much trash, man, that's good stuff.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
So space trash in the portal.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
So don't go other than Louisville kick transfer cornerback Pierce Clarkson.
We had that news yesterday transferring from UCLA Louisville Old
Miss then to UCLA. But other than that, Matt, space trash,
space trash.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
Couldn't you just said, you know, it's been picked over
a lot of that portal. We don't really see anything
we like anymore.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
You know, we're good.

Speaker 5 (07:50):
What's a trash trash?

Speaker 4 (07:53):
And like some kid right now is still in the
portal and he sees that, he goes, I'm portal trash trash.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah you are. Why am I trash? Your portal trash?

Speaker 4 (08:03):
That's what That's what the linebacker coach of Wake Forest thanks,
portal trash. The other story in the world of college
football recruiting is this. You know a lot of people
like what USC is doing. USC is in the phase
of their of the year where they throw the off
season parties. You know, Matt, and I'm sure you're used
to this you know, and like these days happen where

(08:25):
I'm like standing somewhere and a guy comes up to me.
This at this case was a little league game the
other day and a guy came up to me.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
He is like, how about the off season the Trojans
are having to me? Can you believe it? Can you believe?
Can you?

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Brother? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:40):
And I said, well, okay.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
But everybody likes the new Chad Bowden, the new GM,
and he's doing and saying all the right things when
it comes to recruiting and what us he needs to
be doing locally. One of their biggest recruits who is
not a local recruit, the top rated player in recruiting
class five star linebacker Xavier Griffin has parted ways with

(09:06):
usc usc is firm and its stance they don't want
halfway crooks, Matt, you can't be committed to sc and
go on other visits. This guy's going to visit Alabama
because he's from Georgia, and Chad Bowden USCGM says, if

(09:28):
you take that trip, don't come back here. And he's
taking that trip.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Well, you're not coming back yet, man.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
So there you go.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
The top rated player in the recruiting class not a
local player, but one of the players that makes the
recruiting class so highly rated, and I don't know what
kind of player he'll be. Is not all the way
in with sc and S. He does not accept halfway crooks.
There's no hey, will you marry me? I'll think about it.
With USC, Matt, you're either in or you're gonna play

(10:03):
at Alabama.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
Scott Wolf points out Pete Carroll recommended guys go look
at other places. It had no problem with it during
recruiting when he was at USC.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Changed like, hey, you go taste that, and you tell
me that they taste better than what we got here.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Oh yeah, you go taste that. You lay with her.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
I'm not going to let you cheat on me.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah, I feel you.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
This is exclusive, interesting, interesting approach. No, so we'll see
how it betters that. I mean, look, it's great to
have a GM and build a fence around the area,
but if you don't don't develop people on the offensive
defensive line that are local recruits, and you don't get everybody,
every single person that you want in the city of
Los Angeles, you were not going to have the generational

(10:46):
success that USC fan the USC fan base expects you
to have and that's the truth.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Here's my number number of the day, number days two.
Last night hit the town. I was out with my
oldest who was in town for the week. She's got
good taste in music, so we made our way over
to the House of Blues, Anaheim for Future Islands. One
of my favorites. I know band you like as well
P record came out last year's Fantastic posted a clip

(11:17):
from the show the Tower. I did a lot from
the new record open with this one King of Sweden.
Fantastic pretty much played the whole new record, four song encore,
just great. Not here to recount a night of live
musicer celebrate Sam, one of the best front men out
there these days, a band that is immensely better live

(11:40):
than they are on recorded music. But instead I bring
a situation that I've found myself in the middle of
last night at the House of Blues, Anaheim, a sold
out show.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
So is it like Kate's at that country show? Are
the people in front of you wouldn't sit down?

Speaker 2 (11:54):
No, this was standing, you know, House of Blue, so
you got the GA section, all your fancy folks upstairs
in the balcony there, so you know.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Shoulders off the foundation room, Matt.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
That's right, little foundation room up there. So as Peyton,
who said she's uncomfortable, you know, pushing herself onto the floor,
follow me. We'll get out there. So open Mike Eagle
the opener, folds up his PC, puts away his Novation
little pad, his microphone. Milk Crate walks off the stage

(12:25):
a one man show, and I say, let's go. Let's
get in front of the soundboard. Let's feel the vibe
of the people. Let's get to a spot where we
can see and push our way through there. Feel really
good about it. And we are standing right next to
a couple short king fat wearing a summer set. His
gal also short on the heavier side.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Could you call him a short king?

Speaker 2 (12:46):
That's what kind of that? That was the vibe he
was exuding, right, I can't.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
I don't know what that is.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, I think it's like a short dude that that
doesn't doesn't act short like, acts like hey man.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Like somebody with the alpha here, Polly and complex.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, the little bit just like you know, comfortable, the
shortest guy here.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
This is a trending title. I think. So you'd be
a short king. You have to be five eight or under.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Oh he was at the moment.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Attractive personality.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, he's having a good time, you know, chatting everybody up.
It's more than a stature, that's what it was. It's
a it's a I think it's a.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Not every verdict challenge. Man makes the cut.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
No, his his lady taller than he was, blue hair shaved.
On the one side, there you know, you get the
patch above the year. On the one side, you're in
an indie rock show man, Right, they got beers. They're
making out. If I had to guess, probably I don't know, shrooms,
maybe e some sort of M D M A or something,
because when Future Islands hit the stage, he loses his

(13:48):
s and she's just giggling like Talia Shi are doing
a PMS interview.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
Though, well, I mean, you know, they had a you know,
indie rock show late at night. I had to be
pretty excited.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
He's dancing like a madman, bearing his head into her back.
The lead singer sets a heck kind of an example,
that's what I mean. Right, he's licking her face. Well, okay,
I find it wildly entertaining and I'm enjoying the show
and whatever with them. They're having a good time. Who cares.
But as the show goes on, he's now getting a
little sloppy. He decides to put his half full beer

(14:17):
in his back pocket. Of course, that does not go well.
Smells all over the place.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
Surprised that, you know, it opened up enough to even
be able to place it in there.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Oh yeah, it was wild. He's bumping into more and
more people. They keep making out. He's screaming. People around
him are starting to get a little concerned. They're not
into it. People next to me look and say, hey,
what do we got going here? It's like, ah, you
know what. They're not arguing, they're not fight they're just
really into it. I got no issue. Let them have
their fun, you know. But these two dudes to my right, yeah,

(14:49):
they don't like it. They don't like it. And the
Sky puts his arm around the little short king and says,
from what I can see and tell between songs and
reading his lips, to chill out. Everyone here hates you.
You're running into everyone. You want to make out with
your chick, go home and do it. It's ugly, it's annoying, and.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
The spirit of the no.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
He gets this incredibly sad look on his face. He
makes a fist and he like fist bumps the guy
and says, I'm sorry. He leans into his chick and
he's talking into her ear. I don't know what he said.
I couldn't tell, but then with shoulders slumped and head
hang and he just walks away. Poor Sam announces from
the stage they're gonna play the Sickness. The girl giggles
maniacally and starts dancing again without her man, who never

(15:37):
came back the rest of the night. I guess most
people were happy he was gone. It was a bit
of a disaster. But at the same time, I was like,
come on, man, this guy's not an a hole. He's
not really hurting anyone. He's just acting crazy. And I
think the dude that they did that felt kind of bad.

Speaker 6 (15:53):
You should, right, It's like, yeah, it's a little sloppy,
it's a little weird, but they're having a good time.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Let him have there.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
Not everybody goes of concerts, some people get a little
geeked out, Say Sam b Harrington takes his teage, you know.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
And he freaks out and everybody starts freaking out.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
He's freaking out. Why can't I freak out right.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
It's kind of why.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
I was like, ah, whatever, there fighting a yelling, they're
just having fun. So he put a beer in his
back pocket and it's stilled all over us. Matt, you're
the most over officious guy around, right, and uh, somebody
out over officiated you.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Wow. I tried to discourage him, you know, it's like,
come on, guys, but alas he had I don't know,
ten twelve songs of pure elation and joy with his lady,
and then he was shamed. He was shamed, and she
just kept gigging, oh and enjoying the show. Well, I
don't know where he went, but it was unfortunate.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
Well, you know, look, recreational drug use in public does
have its drawbacks.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Man, all right, you'll be judged. This is the song
of the day.

Speaker 7 (17:02):
David Byrne is a singer, songwriter, musician, filmmaker, and founding
member of legendary band The Talking Heads who is celebrating
a birthday today, So we celebrate him with our song
of the day called Neighborhood from his two thousand and
one solo record called Look Into the Eyeball. Because the
Petros and Money Show is making its way through the

(17:23):
neighborhood of great sports talk as we look to the
Dodgers and Athletics for Game two at the stadium, and
our friend Tim Katz is here and he'll be along
shortly with your Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck show that
begins at six o'clock.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
You want to make that with chick, fine, get a room. Sadly,
nobody here likes you.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
You're annoying a dude.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
I had a burn the guy with a singer out
on the neck. Sorry about that. Of course you're gonna
get kicked out if you had to smoke.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, changed you can faith now.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
There's nothing worse than the House of Blues and Anaheim
on a reggae show because they would really really police
the weed smoking.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
What are we doing? And that's you know, that's not cool.
That's the point here. Don't be like uncool victimless crime. Man.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
We'll be right back with the top story of the day.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
You'll have the victimless crime of Matt talking NFL schedule.
Who thanks for listening, everybody. It's Petres and Money on

(18:38):
AMPHI seventy LA Sports Austin Barnes.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
We knew you well. You can't say we barely knew
ye because we knew you you were great.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
He was great, always nice to get a little ribbon
in with the guys and have a little back and forth,
you know. Yeah, and it's a it's a bummer. Yeah,
so it's a big bummer.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Oh well, you never when you're never able to reconcile.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
You know, the kind of running joke you had that
was insulting, you know, you can you can find yourself
being insensitive on an emotional daylight today.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
And certainly Dodgers as coming up being broadcast. Is this
just on the iHeart or is this going out on
what we're doing right now? Is just going out on
the A five seventy terrestrial band.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
I'm pretty sure it's going out on both Matt simulcast
and we're on there on A Yeah it is, uh.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
You know, I see.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
The towers, they're right there.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
But you can listen on the app to our podcast
or streaming live or right there terrestrially. Just like Matt,
Matty Smith, the voice of the Bolt said, all right,
it's time for the top story of the.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Day, the top story of it.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
A little over a half hour away of the unveiling,
and nobody nobody.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Does it, Betther, I'd like to think somebody does.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
They are the most arrogant entertainers in the history of entertainment.
Imagine the biggest pop star on Earth going right now,
Taylor Swift telling her fans, I'm not going to share
any music with you, but if you tune in Wednesday,
May fourteenth, at five pm Pacific, I will in fact

(20:21):
share the dates and times when I will release my
new music, and maybe I'll even throw in a couple
titles of the songs. I won't play any for you,
but I'll tell you what they're called, and i'll tell
you when I'm going to release them. You can miss it.
That is what the NFL does. In somehow, some way
they make sports fans care reading names off cards on

(20:45):
a stage in front of hundreds of thousands of people
when rain is pouring in sheets us releasing what teams
are playing, what teams, when they are playing said teams,
and where they're going to be playing these teams. You
got to see it to believe it, and you don't

(21:08):
want to be left out, So tune in exactly at
eight pm Eastern, five pm Pacific. And the thing is,
it's created a cottage industry, like recruiting.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
No one used to care until the hat dance on signing.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Day, and now look and now look what we have
a cottage industry employment. People contributing to GDP NFL draft
experts make literal millions covering the NFL Draft. It is
not nearly on that scale. But Twitter has NFL schedule

(21:47):
leak outlets that are a lot of your usual sources
that aggregate news stories and they make millions of dollars.
The Pro Football Talks the red Zone Dot orgs of
the world and they use their horses to help make
this the number one topic on Twitter today. The NFL
schedule release. The Sporting World looking toward the top of

(22:10):
the hour today pe if the draft is considered curious
by some as a televised product us people with flesh
and blood, it does you know?

Speaker 4 (22:22):
This is just like putting a calendar on the wall.
That's exactly what it is. It's literally like play auditions
and you're like, did I get brin Voglio. It is
the community staring at the paper on the on the
on the corkboard.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
It's the community calendar. It's we are now going to
slot events by datas bonkers, you know draft curious interesting
that people watch that.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
I like looking at the face. I like looking at
Joel Klatt's face get so mad. You know, when Shedor
Sanders and his vein pumping in his head didn't get drafted,
that was you know, figuring it out. That's a person.
But there's no vain. There's no vain pumping in anybody's
head for the well.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Now, I think if you get the local now that
almost every team has a local uh you know in
house YouTube show of which I guess technically i'm part of.
So I'm part of this this group. Yeah, they're gonna
they're going to freak out. They're going to freak out
over how many miles do we have to travel? How
many back to backs on the road? What you got

(23:25):
to be kidding me. We got a short week against
the Chiefs again, which I would assume the Chargers will
come five o'clock. I've got to believe that's part of it.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
So that's oh, like you have an inside track.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
That's listen, it happens every year, every single year they
played the Chiefs on a short week. It never fails.
So we already know the opponents. Uh, we already know
the opponents for the next five years, with the exception
of the two games for the cross scheduling based on
what place you finished the prior year in division otherwian
that you know who you're going to play. But today
we get the exact dates and the exact times. That's

(24:00):
a ten am CBS game. Oh that's one twenty five
on Fox. I bet that's I bet that's KB and Brady.
That's what my guess is for that one. Uh, that's
what we get today. And again, uh much like and
we have to tip our caps to those that place
this trail ahead of us. The Loose Cannons the first

(24:23):
show we ever noticed going through game by game in
a schedule and saying win loss, win loss.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
While they stretched it out. They had to stretch it
out for three hours. I believe it was its Yeah
it was. It didn't go that three segments of an hour.
I don't know, man, I feel like it went the
whole show basically a lot longer than that.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
And now there is a social media franchise surround you.
There are dudes that this is what they're known for.
I'm the guy that predicts each team's record, and I'm
so responsible that I get it to equate wins and
losses wise, so there are no holes that way. I'm
the best. This is my project this is my sliver

(25:08):
of the trillion dollar NFL pie. And you know, if
they're really good at it, and they really nail it,
they'll probably get one team's projection thirty five percent correct. Uh. So,
as we wait.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
For fivengratulations on life's work.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
This is I can't believe you've managed to become the
authority on this. So as we wait for five o'clock,
Yes I am, I get my shill on and I
share why, why we care, why we're here? Why At

(25:44):
five o'clock we'll be going through each of these with
a fine tooth comb. Obviously, the chargers and rams will
be the focus.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Now I don't always do this, but you know when
we say we here, yes, Matt means the voice of
the bolts, the royal we the editorial.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Well, you're gonna you're going to go through it. You're
going to talk about that that when you think of
this back to back.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
I'm still affected from my shingles.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
The light of the computer screen with all these dates
is confusing. I'm just I want to run into the hills.
I'll be I've just bad. I'm baalaced.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Oh, I'm the greatest insult in the history of the textiles.
So she is ballast. Now that I am heading into
my ninth year calling Charger games, thirteenth year calling NFL games,
why is today an event? Well, first of all, fans travel. Uh,
they travel really well because there's only seventeen games. Of

(26:43):
those seventeen games either eight or nine of them.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
Or on the road.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
And I've seen it firsthand. I've watched it grow. You know,
Chargers have a fan base that takes a lot of
incoming about not being as prodigious as the other teams
in the NFL. But every single year I see more
and more and more people at each of these away games,
even to the extent that last year I believe was probably,
if not maybe the year before in Arizona, the first

(27:07):
time I ever saw more Charger fans in a venue
than home fans, and that was Week eighteen Las Vegas.
Last year, I would say fifty five forty five in
favor of the Powder Blues. As the Raiders were putting
the cap on a miserable season, felt like it was
close to fifty to fifty in Arizona a couple of
years before that. So people like the fans, I should say,
not people fans, it's short for fanatics like to get

(27:30):
this schedule today and immediately circle where do we want
to go, like the like the bolt Man with the
bolt outfit, or the DHBC the Diehard Bolt Club as
they like to travel and all of their satellite Bolt
Club affiliates. I'd say there were at least five thousand
fans in Carolina last year the Patriots were terrible Week seventeen,

(27:53):
easily the most Charger fans I'd ever seen at a
game on the East Coast. So people like road games,
and this year the Chargers have really good destinations New
York City. I've now called a couple of their games
there against both the Giants and the Jets. I can't
recommend that one enough, especially if it comes early in
the year, one of those beautiful fall the leaves are
changing kind of days. In the Big town. They go

(28:14):
to Nashville. This year they go to Miami, both destination cities.
Great time to go out. You get there on a
Thursday or a Friday, a couple nights out on the
town on Broadway in Nashville. What about South Bitch and
biscait Bait. David Veasse can probably give you some tips
if you want to go see him. Take on Miami,
even Jacksonville. If you're a golfer, you can play the
famous Island Green or take the thirty minute drive and

(28:36):
hit the beach. Hey, if you got deep pockets in
a sense of adventure, why not head to Brazil on
September fifth, or may be a few days before that
and stay through the weekend. When are you ever going
to make a trip to South America, caeh.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
I gotta say, the one thing I've always wanted to
do in South America is catch some NFL action live right.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Talk about a bonus?

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Yeah, body buried in different corners of Bolivia. That's my
number two.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
I want to see NFL football and hey, bonus, I'm
in Brazil as a backdrop. As for the Rams, obviously,
we know they got London out there. October nineteenth, so
not too cold, perfect time for the Ram fans to
head across the pond with a lot of fans. Maybe
find yourself an affordable ticket. I love going to that city.

(29:28):
If you're going for football. The dorks that go for
these NFL games. It's a little bit different now that
they have spread out over Europe. We got a game
in Spain, we got a game in Ireland, a game
in Germany this year. So back in the day before
all those sort of cities popped up, London would host
all of you know, Western Europe in terms of NFL fans.
That would pack one hundred thousand strong into Wembley no

(29:49):
matter what team you cheered for, you just went out
to water crafts. Yeah, and outside of London, the Rams
don't really have a really good road schedule.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
Now.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
They are going to Tennessee, so and on what time
of year, you know, I assume it's whatever. It's always
good time to go to Nashville. They go to Baltimore
or not. Great Caroline. I was there for a week
last year, so maybe a cloud's my vision when it
comes to whether or not I'd recommend that as a
destination city. It's tough to spend a week there at
I'm not going to Charleston for a couple days probably
would have gone crazy. Same with Atlanta. My recommendation for

(30:20):
Atlanta Ram fans if that's where you want to go,
there is no separate restaurant serving wings at Magic City.
Turns out, if you want the famous wings for Magic City,
you will have to go into the Strip Club.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
And Patrick getting mentioned that he's going to go over
there tomorrow. On the Dead Ads.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
They were discussing it this morning because they're going down
to Atlanta, as we mentioned earlier, due to the family feud,
and the whole topic Atton Petros was whether or not
they're going to go to Magic City, and then Seaton,
your guys's friend said, well, maybe they just have it
to go for the wings.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
We can get the wings to go.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
Oh, Matt, maybe you should call your friend see what's
going on in friend.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
If you wanted too. I don't have any friends.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
I'm gonna let them suffer the same fate I suffered.
I'll be having those lemon peppers with a side of
Ass's what I'll be doing with those wings. So that's
a big part. And of course if you don't have
season tickets, it's trying to figure out which home games
you want to and whether or not you want that primetime.
I would assume after last year's eleven win season for
the Chargers, especially the Thursday Night Flex, the first ever

(31:25):
with Denver, how great that game turned out. The Chargers
tend to play competitive games. They don't really blow teams out,
and they don't get blown out Justin Herbert, Jim Harby.
I would assume they'll get minimum four, maybe five primetime games.
Same with the Rams. They're a play away from the
NFC Championship. I would suspect they'll get at least four
primetime games. And if I were to guess for the Chargers,

(31:48):
they're playing the Super Bowl, the defending Super Bowl champions
Philadelphia is coming out to Los Angeles. That certainly seems
like a primetime game. You got Jayden Daniels coming out.
Of course, local guy Justin and he had a duel
when he was at Arizona State back and forth of
offensive affair, and Herbert was at Oregon. So there's that
one that's a possibility. Seems like whenever the Steelers come

(32:09):
to town, they throw those things in primetime. We've had
a Thursday night and a Sunday night both times they've
been at SOFI, and the Chargers of a really good
home schedule. Again, Rams, they got the AFC Souths and
not a lot of people going to want to get
out there for Houston or Indianapolis. The Saints in a
bit of a down year, but they do get the Lions.
So maybe wherever the Lions land, that could be a
potential NFC Championship preview. You want to circle that, and

(32:31):
that could end up being one of their primetime division opponents.
So there you go, a a an honest critique and
a bit of information. Well, and a lot I were
sitting here today talking schedule.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
Yeah, a lot of Matt Smith memories, you know, postcards
from around the globe, from Old Carmen, San Diego, Matt Smith,
from Jacksonville to Biscayne Bay, to Charleston to North Carolina.
Come on and raise up.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Close to the way to Appalachian Stage, I have it.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Do you like to time of your law?

Speaker 2 (33:07):
I do want to crosscheck all of my road games,
you know, because I've got Nashville this year, so maybe
I can get out to Knoxville for the first time,
go to Rocky Top and you know where I'm going.
Pe got to get out the hound Dogs. Well, I mean,
if I if I end up making my way to Nashville,
they got Knoxville.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
They got a bunch of men's mediums waiting for you there.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
That's right, there's probably they'll be They'll be located in
the children's section. I would assume an adult medium in Knoxville.
I go to Miami, so maybe the Canes will be
in town the week we're playing the or I can
get to your old spot, Fau and maybe stand in
the middle of a torrential rainstorm while the broadcast crew
is comfortable in the studio.

Speaker 4 (33:44):
Could be a torrential rainstorm, but it's also one hundred
and five degrees, So that's.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
Reconcile that this has been scheduled. Talk. We'll have more
at five o'clock.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Dad short, all right.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
We'll be right back with Margaret.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
Sports Talk schedule comes out officially at five stay ALUs.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
A couple of times a week. Case is really pissed.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
I know he's smitten with the Dalton rushing legs, but
in his legacist style, but he's very upset. He's had
a chip on his shoulder all day. And I think
it's because of the Dan Patrick announcement. That that's the
announcement they're going to Atlanta, Atlanta to star in celebrity

(34:45):
family Feud. Yeah, they're going down to tap it. I
believe on Friday, So they're leaving tomorrow night after Kates
was chasing the family feud things.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Thank you it's his dream, thank you? Yes, yeah, that's right.
I remember. Did you have a tryout or what was it?
How did that go?

Speaker 4 (34:58):
Well, we could have if we wanted to, but you
didn't want to pay for it, right, you didn't want
to pay for your You thought it was you were
going to drive your family to to TV City exactly
next to the Farmer's Market. Yep, and instead you realize
you would have to fly to Atlanta. Yeah, Steve Harvey
hosted in his own studios down in Atlanta, so you
got to go all the way down that. He is

(35:19):
a great host, you know, the people love him.

Speaker 5 (35:21):
That's true. But I listened this morning as I was
taking Sadie to school, and.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Names that start with the letter H. Harriet, no jose.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
Man, come on, Matt jose And they were talking about
it on that on the Dan Patrick Show this morning.
They were doing like fake questions and they're like to
get all excited about they're going down to Atlanta.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
Yeah, what do you think we would do? We'd be
playing the song and just swinging it all around.

Speaker 5 (35:46):
What are we gonna do when we land him and
I We're gonna have a dinner, Fritzie, where were going
to night?

Speaker 3 (35:49):
We're gonna do for dinner?

Speaker 4 (35:51):
And Kate's feels like seat and stole this idea from him,
just like they stole the Arcade Fire song Arcade Fire.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah, it's fair. I think it's fair.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
I mean the whole group is going Dan at the
dan Net. It's gonna be on Celebrity Family Feud.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Just kind of considering the demographic that watches Family Feud
not to be snarky asking a sincere question, what are
you talking about?

Speaker 4 (36:19):
It's a very popular show man, It's not just for
everybody else.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
I'm asking everybody.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
I'm asking percentage of the audience that knows Dan Patrick
and the dan Nets. If you were to put a
number on it.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
A great question, hundred percent?

Speaker 5 (36:32):
No, are you crazy?

Speaker 3 (36:34):
We're not talking about Rich Eisen talking about Dan Patrick.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
How about how about a number that's not one hundred percent,
eighty how about a number that's not eighty fifteen percent,
ninety fifteen not they filmed it here in La like
they should be doing it. Be one hundred percent because
everybody listens to GP on seventy LA Sports, but everywhere
else in the country fifteen. Yeah, I think fifteen percent

(37:01):
is of good number, Kates, I think that's probably little.
You know, one in ten, two and ten right somewhere
in there. But you know it's five nights a week. Well,
I guess if it's celebrity, it's not five minutes.

Speaker 4 (37:15):
So they're all going to Atlanta and it is I
don't know they're going to Magic City too, right, Well,
actually I did find on the texto, so there is
a workaround for Matt's problem with Magic City and the
wings and not wanting to go into a strip club,
even though that's a line.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
You know it.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
You can order Magic City on grub Hub. So you
go to Atlanta, you hide in your hotel, you send
some unsuspecting delivery person into the strip club and I'm
sure they let him in for free because they're just
grub hubbers. Right, So next time you're in Atlanta, Matt,
you have a hankering for those wings and you don't

(37:57):
it and you don't want to see yourself as a
dirty voyeur.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Look at that ass.

Speaker 5 (38:03):
That's one way to get in there, Like, hey, I'm here,
I'm a Grubhub guy, I'm here to pick up for Bob.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
You can't disappear here under the side stage, though.

Speaker 4 (38:14):
Don't act like maggot. Magic City is not uh really
locked down. They run a tight ship there, oh, no doubt,
from what I've heard from my radio partner who frequents
it quite often.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Oh dear, We'll be right back with the NFL schedule
