and we appreciate your patronage. It is time now for
the top story of the day of the football pe.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
We got good news because we had a team in
town competing for as the you know, the football types
like to say the Lombardi. Oh, okay, you still got
a team in town competing for the Lombardi?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Is that a good thing? Does that make you happy?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I wish it were the Chargers. But very few things
in the world of entertainment in America beat play off
football and this Sunday Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Omega ball and Encino's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
You wait till March, folks, It's coming and petros and
money are coming with it. For all the nitpicking, for
the slings and arrows about rageous fortune, some things we
may say about Matthew Stafford. Matt Stafford, his name is
Matthew Cool. The Hall of Famer has a chance to
(03:26):
cement his case with this playoff run if he is
awarded the MVP, which, by the way, I don't think
he should win. For those wondering, those asking who do, I.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Think there are a lot of people that do want
to know who you think is the MVP? A lot
of people. I'll say this, I got two words for you.
Justin Herbert.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
The total touchdowns are great, but eight of those came
from the one yard line. Okay, feels a little bit gross.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Stat pad like Lebron in the second half last night,
feels a little bit gross.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Eight of your forty six touchdowns from the one yard line.
He's got the best, if not second best, third best
play caller in the league, and Sean McVay. He's got
the best receiving corps. Devonte Adams Pookinacua. You heard what
Tom Telesco said yesterday, a two headed monster at running
back and Kyron Williams and Blake Corum Drake May. Should
(04:20):
he win the MVP, he will be the first MVP
winner to not have another single pro bowler on the
offensive side of the ball.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Wow, that's great stat Call it, Hayton.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Call it what you want. Which guy should win? And
why did I bring it up? Because the Rams are
kind of pushing that aside. It is a big topic
of conversation in New England because they're on perhaps a
different championship schedule than the Rams.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Well, Vrabel just got there and look what.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
He's done, while the Rams are focused on getting Matthew
Stafford that second Super Bowl and a half decade, very
tough NFC playoff bracket that he has to navigate three
road games, the incredibly fever pitched environment in Carolina last
week that Tom Tellusco talked about a place where he
once worked. They were thirsty for playoff football and they
(05:11):
showed up and they made it an incredibly adversive experience
and environment that Matthew Stafford was able to navigate. Now
he's going to be headed to Chicago Soldier Field, the
banks of Lake Michigan. Single digit temperatures at kickoff when
you factor in wind chill.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
That's bad for a dome team, unforgiving for the West
Coast domers.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Who they're talking about. Maybe zero is what it will
feel like at kickoff. Zero when the well, Matt Stafford's good.
He played in Detroit where it's really cold.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Oh it's a dome.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Coortfield is a dome. So you win that game, and
now you got to go off to Seattle. You know,
the Twelves can't say enough about the Twelves, Man Twelves,
the twelve Twelves just really shout out today. Yeah, number
one defense in the league, number one seed, just so
happens to be your division rival. They lost one game,
they won one game. Both were incredibly tight. Makes four.
(06:09):
The stuff that the Hall of Fame resumes are all
about and that's why when it comes to the MVP
talk and the politicken, a lot of it is supporting
Drake May and very little around Matthew Stafford, Rams Patriots
different parts of their procession toward a Super Bowl trophy.
(06:31):
They are a favorite road team. The Rams should be
the favorite team. But by no means does anyone think
it's going to be an easy game against a Bear
squad that has not been great on defense at times
but has.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Team with fanasas Caleb Williams. They're going to get their
putzos knocked off at some point? Will it be Sunday?
They have gotten their putsos knocked off in first halves
this year. They have been exceptional in second half. Pick
up your poots this year.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
They have picked up their poots and delivered winning football
in the second halves this year. Still many suspect the
Rams ought to win and are still the favorite to
win the Super Bowl. Flip side of that is, hey,
what are the Chargers got going on? They're looking for
an offensive coordinating There's a flip side to that coin.
They fired Greg Roman yesterday, something that was not surprising
(07:19):
considering the chatter throughout the season. The fact that their
quarterback Justin Herbert got his head caved in. His chest
was actually caved in in the playoff game courtesy of
a helmet to his sternum from Elijah Ponder. The play
design was called out. He did not have his two tackles,
(07:40):
one of them for the entire season Rashaun Slater, former
Petros Money Show guest, the other Joe Olt, for just
four games, Yet repeatedly folks pointed two the seven step drops,
the long developing routes off the play action in which
he was pressured over fifty percent of his dropbacks, two
hundred and eighty pressures, one hundred and thirty quarterback hits,
(08:03):
fifty one sacks, all the most in the league. You
had a defensive tackle for the Patriots in that playoff game.
Corey Durden, whoever the course of the entire season, had
nineteen pressures and in that game alone had seven.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
And when Tyler Durden's not tackling people for the Pats
d line, he's blowing up credit card buildings and making
soap and changing America.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Not surprising after watching some of the hits that Herbert
took in the final game of the season and that
abrupt end to what many thought could have been maybe
a Super Bowl runner, an AFC Championship run. You end
up with a couple guys being told, thank you for
your service, but we will proceed without you.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
The decision of who to bring in will be an
interesting one because Herbert has already had five coordinators on
that side of the ball in his six seasons of play,
the best, of course being Shane Steichen, the current head
coach of the Indianapolis Colts and someone who helped Philadelphia
make a Super Bowl. He was the offensive coordinator there,
probably should have stayed, but Brandon Staley wanted to bringing
his own guy, Joe Lombardi, who was solid, not spectacular,
(09:08):
and has not been asked to be an offensive coordinator
anywhere since. He is kind of just Sean Payton's guy
who stands next to him while he's calling the plays.
Kellen Moore, of course, left to coordinate a Philadelphia offense
that won the Super Bowl and then landed a head
coaching job with New Orleans. Justin got hurt, and I
(09:28):
would assume they'll bring in somebody that is talented enough
to try to maximize the talent that is Justin Herbert.
That is that receiving corps that is amar On Hampton,
and if Slater and Alter healthy all season, you would
assume it is a very desirable job. If you do
get a talented play caller with all of that available
(09:49):
to them, it does mean someone like a Mike McDaniel
or a Brian Dable could be one and done. They
could put up some of the biggest numbers, the best numbers,
get Justin Herbert that playoff winner two, and then find
themselves moving on after a single season. Ultimately, what you're
looking for is someone like Greg Roman, who you know
is never going to be a head coach, but you'd
(10:11):
prefer them to be a good play caller, which Greg
Roman over his two seasons showed that maybe he wasn't.
But Brian Daball maybe perfect candidate.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Well, the guy loses this whole old line he did,
and then you call him out and say you don't
know how to call him plays.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It just was a bit of a rough season, that's all,
you know, Maybe just a just if you don't have
any of the old lineman.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I mean, if the guy couldn't call plays, why did
people think the Chargers are going to win the Super Bowl? Defense?
The hell of a defense. That's why jesse Miners.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Getting all them interviews to get a sidebar going here
on the Raiders, I would say they absolutely have to
find someone who was an offensive play callers. Their next
head coach talked about jesse Minner perhaps landing there. But
one of the reasons why you're burning through offensive coordinators
because no one wants to go there. It's too unstable.
Talent is not there. You look at the other side
of the ball. Not that Patrick Graham is in a
(10:59):
good defensive coordinator. He is, but there's a reason why
he survived four head coaches because they can't find anybody
that's better, and they can't find anyone that wants to
come take the job. Because Mark Davis is going to
have a new head coach for the fourth season in
a row on opening day. He is paying six general
managers and head coaches after firing them after just one year.
(11:21):
It is too hard to get a really good coordinator
to sign on and get blown out by an impatient owner.
So you look at the Mike McDaniels, the Brian Dabols
that are getting a bunch of interviews, Maybe try to
get them so they can lock up that side of
the ball. Keep Patrick Graham out there. There's a lot
of heat on this young guy in Jacksonville who was
under Kevin O'Connell. Maybe that's the guy they could get
(11:42):
in so much heat and douvall on. That guy last
name starts with A you, So take that with you.
You tell all your friends, Hey, that uh OC got.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
You, Jacksonparrasa, I will tell my friends, Matt, that's exactly
what I do.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I you know they're gonna draft Fernando Mendoz. I want
to know what's happening, and they're going to get that
OC from Jacksonville whose name starts with the US, like
thirty years old coach.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
That could be their.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Guy because look, you look at the broncos of the
number one seed, the Chargers won eleven games in back
to back years. You would assume the Chiefs are going
to bounce back next year. You don't need to be
on a let's try to win ten games next year plan.
When you're drafting Fernando Mendoz the number one overall, you're
probably going to be on a two to three year play.
So get yourself a young play calling head coach. And
(12:26):
that's for the Raiders for the Raiders. The Chargers need
a play caller. The Raiders need a play calling head coach,
somebody that hopefully won't get hired as a head coach
next year. Can you find someone that can stick around
and give Justin Herbert some continuity is what I would say.
And the Rams may they win their fancy playoff game.
(12:46):
I don't feel like you're right.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I don't, but I'm trying to. I'm trying to, you know,
trying to support what some of the city want to see.
Well also not being entire comfortably, entirely comfortable supporting it,
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
But I'm trying, because you know what I mean, Baker run.
It's gonna be a lot to swallow. I know it's
gonna be. It's gonna be a load to what it's
gonna be, but I'm prepared. It's gonna be like the
Freedom Trade running right in your ass.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Exactly right. It is exactly what it's gonna feel like.
It would be the freaking human caterpillar.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Well, good luck with that offensive coordinator higher, thank you.
Maybe they'll get coach you.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Maybe Arthur Smith, you know, get all that FedEx money
pumping in here. I don't think it's applicable, but you
know it's kind of wild. His dad started FedEx and
he's an offensive coordinator. To this out of a job
because Mike Tomlin stepped out. Good luck to everybody involved. Indeed,
we'll be right back with the flip top story of
the day. We gotta talk about Lebron James.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with you.

Buy or on Amazon.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
All right, Matt, let's call this a FlipTop story of
the day. I will put you out. This is the
FlipTop story of the day. Now. As I've mentioned on
the show, I'm no longer rational about this. Every time
I go on X or Twitter, I am fully indoctrinated,
completely immersed in Lebron hate. There are at least five
(15:21):
or six Twitter accounts that I follow that are twenty
four to seven dedicated showing you what a bad guy
Lebron is, showing him peaking through his hands.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Any are any of them called Jabron lanes? No, so
why don't we launch the Jabron Lame's Twitter account?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You have to hire somebody to cut video and talk
over it like they do and attack Lebron. There's the
MJ the Goat, There's Hero of the day. Is a
good anti Lebron. Bricks Center is always looking for Lebron
to throw up an airball or Bronnnie.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
That's that's an extensive Bronny hate on brick Center.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Throw up an airball. There's Apex Jones, Oh, Apex Joones.
Nobody goes harder on Lebron. Apex Jones is my favorite
of the Lebron. So whenever I turn on my device
or go on to the computer.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That's an algorithm. It finds what you like and it
wants to feed you what you want.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
They know that I don't like Lebron, and they're taking
advantage of it by showing me everything that Lebron has
ever done that is annoying. And the list gets longer daily,
every single day, every damn night. It never stops. But
yesterday was especially Jabron Lames. Now most of the very
(16:40):
angry accounts were like, look at that Lucas getting forty
in the first half, just so this old m effort
and stat pad in the second half around like the
star and walk around like a rooster. And he was
talking out of his last night when he was asked
(17:06):
where the care level is for a guy like him
forty one years old? Like why he cares so much
about basketball? To the rash asked this question, Oh well,
of course, Wait, he's so great, Lebron. I'm sorry, how
does he ask the question?
Speaker 6 (17:26):
I would never disrespect the basketball gods and not understand
that it's a real thing. And uh, you know, I
would never disrespect the basketball guys when it comes to
playing this game.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
So I'll put the time and the effort in the.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
Commitment and mentally, physically, spiritually, you know, every time I
hit the floor or a matter of practice, whatever the case,
going to be trying to set the example for my
teammates and a younger generation that's watching me or watching
me throughout my career. I mean, my son is right
over there, so I can't afford to choot the game everyone.
I would never do that, and I got to send
an example for him over there too. So you know,
(18:00):
jay Z will say, if you can't respect that, your
whole perspective is whack.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Maybe you love me when I fade the black.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Lyric it's from the jay Z song December fourth maybe
off his twenty three release Respect there. It is twenty
three years old, jay Z, you can't respect that the
black Now.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Maybe you love me when I.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Maybe when everything that comes out of this guy's mouth
get you want to vibe out a little bit?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
You do that?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Is this the album you guys listened to three different
times because it was so good? Just every trial that
was a Drake.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
That was a Drake album, I said was the best
album of the year. That was when he had listened
to it three times.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I believe. After that, Mike Traddell, when the cameras went off, said,
I love Jigger's new album. Have you heard it late GM?
So there is Yeah, Okay, you can't, I get it.
He's step knife capic, He's got his own pack.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
This is like the number one song on Spotify now
because of Lebron this way maybe.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
The Carpenter's out, jay Z's in. I hope Lebron stays
on the Lakers and wrecks them forever, because when he goes,
it's gonna be like when Bill Ryder got fired from here.
When he goes, it's gonna be low. It's not gonna
be any fun to attack. As he says something dumb
or something something stupid. Every single night he said, like tonight,
(19:39):
last night, damn night. Yeah, well last night he's saying,
I don't want to disrespect the basketball gods. Two nights ago,
he was like, bro, I'm forty one, what do you
want from me? It's like, well, which one is it?
You want to be forty one and old or do
you want to be a guy that is getting fifty
two million dollars?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Excuse me?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
All right?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
He was also asked about his routine every day. Oh,
please ask me about my routine.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
That's a plant, especially a day like yesterday where he's
not cheating the basketball gods.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Dan Woyke asked this question. Oh yeah, hey, Dan, do
me a favor. Asked me this question?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
What was t Tod like? So you woke back like
normal time that like, what was that?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
You kind of like raised the us to like what

Speaker 7 (20:29):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Wait, wait wait, I would love to, yes, exactly what
I wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
What I did? Wait? Are you alleging that that's a plant? Yes,
from a clutch. That's a clutch plan.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
That is exactly what I'm a legend. Hey, you want
that one on one with lebron tonight? You asked him
what his routine was.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Now, this is wiki asking about second game of the
back to back, some form of it. Lebron's got to
get his body right to play.

mentally doing everything while I watched you know, TPG on
the TV.

I mean, you don't think that's a plan.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Dan Wiki is a legitimate Medium member and he would
never ask a question that the rich Paul Clutch people
asked him to ask Lebron James, and Lebron James was
ready to fire off.

Your dead guy happy would have been. Apparently this is

thirty year old male audience of the Petros and Money Show,
because happy would have been two thousand a lot the
sixth We do right in our wheelhouse. Man to Marcus Antonius,
commonly known in English as Mark Anthony, one of the
(28:45):
most influential political and military figures of the late Roman Republic.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
People love the Roman Empire, and they do of all
the public masturbation. The kids called him m A I
think TC tim Kaites. According to Stephen Nelson, I called him.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
He lived a life that was closely intertwined with the
collapse of Republican government in Rome and the rise of
the Roman Empire. An ass kicking soldier, a skilled general,
a brilliant persuasive orator, and ambitious and conniving politician. Truly
a superstar of the Roman Empire. Antonius was the central
(29:31):
figure in the power struggles that followed the assassination of
Julius Caesar. He was born into a prominent but troubled
Roman family. His grandfather was a respected order of His
father died young, so they had no scratch, considerable debt.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
No scratch. Hard. He was like a handful of sault. Yeah,
they had no salt, the end of the bloom stone salt.
They had nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
He was as tough as they come, though, but he
also liked the party, which tends to happen with the
tough guys, you know. He gained a reputation for extravagance,
for reckless behavior. That got him into a little bit
of trouble, so we had to disappeared laylow for a bit.
But he rose through a military career in the Eastern Provinces,
no fear, complete dominance on the battlefield. He earned a
reputation of supreme courage of leadership under fire that set
(30:18):
him up for a larger role in Roman politics. Antonius
saw an opening, aligned himself with Julius Caesar, served as
his trusted lieutenant, ran and dominated during the Gaelic Wars
and later during Caesar's civil war against POMPEII the Great
In forty four BC, Caesar appointed Antonius's counsel, the highest
(30:40):
office well below Caesar in the Roman state, which then
put him at the center of Roman political life at
a critical moment. Caesar's assassinated in March of that year Antonia.
That saw the opening. I remember it like it was yesterday,
I know, right before I caught the trade. He presented
himself as Caesar's rightful political heir. He had a very
(31:03):
famous funeral oration that put him in the pole position
to take over. And then all of a sudden, out
of nowhere, who is this efen orphan? Caesar's adopted son,
Octavian later went by Augustus, became a big problem. The
rivalry between the two men was intense. It split the republic.
It led to a series of shifting alliances of civil wars.
(31:24):
But they sorted it out. They found some common ground.
Forty three PC, Antonius Octavian Marcus Emilius Lepidus formed the
Second Triumphrate, a legally sanctioned three man dictatorship. He had
a couple marriages prior, and then he makes a critical mistake.
He hooks up with Octavian's sister Octavia. They have two daughters.
(31:50):
So the triumphor in his human defeat Caesar's assassins Brutus
Cassius at the Battle of Phelippe, they split things up arman.
Antonius took control of Rome eastern territories all as well,
where it Brutus, but he ditched Octavia, pissed off her brother,
and even more so when he ditched Octavia for that
(32:11):
freaking piece as Cleopatra.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Oh that's right, yeah, Liz Taylor. So now, you fool,
Cleopatra was black.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
They're pumping out a bunch of kids, strengthening antonius power
in the east, but Octavian portrays him as disloyal, as
corrupted by foreign influence. Octavian calling out his wife his
love so Mark Anthony is like, hey, f you pal.
Nobody talks about my leavy that way.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Nobody talks about Liz Taylor and lives to tell about
it except for Richard Burton. Exactly right. She is sex
and human form.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
That showdown came to a head of the Battle of
Actium thirty one BC. Antonius Cleopatra defeated by Octavian's crew.
That's what they call back then.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
A crew.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, k R E W E right, and if it
was plural with his e cruise.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Great guy.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Because he was still so chapped about the whole thing
with his sister, he didn't stop. He advanced on Egypt.
He umiliated, I find myself chat humiliated Mark Anthony.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
He thought Cleopatra was dead, so he commits suicide. He
does not die.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
He does realize she had not committed suicide in fact,
and he dies in her arms. She so affected by
his death, does the same, and Octavian became the undisputed
ruler of the Roman world.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Is that how it went?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Just like on Juliet, Just like that man, Wow, okay,
I thought she killed herself, die in her arms, and
then she's like, all right, this sucks.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
I think she killed herself. Like six months later, Well, Matt,
we will move on to modern Italy or what is
now known as Italy.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
You could have used it too, Italian News. Yeah, I
guess I could have. You didn't use it.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
I did not, So you have full rights. You now
have priority lives with Italian News. Cornelio met mon, He's
met that. Yeah, Jamie Lee, I love you.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Leonardo ort Lanni fifty nine years old today, born in Pisa,
moved to Parma. That's where that guy was eating that chicken.
Parma Jean. His name was Parma Jean. He still lives
in Parma. He's so popular there they do call him
(34:31):
Parma John. His name's Leonardo. Leonardo ort Lanni grew up
loving the comic books, in particular Jack Kirby, and there
is a big Jack Kirby exhibit at the Skirball. If
anybody's interested in, you're gonna go. No, I don't go anywhere.
I'm eleven percent. I can go stan Lee anybody. You
don't have to be Jewish to go, and I don't
(34:54):
care low cooler if you are. He went to the
University of Parma, home of the Fighting John Leonardo is playing.
Is behind the Parma Parma Joan's be careful, you might
have going home with one of them. Leonardo was behind
(35:15):
the Italian parody comic book about an inep superhero, initially
meant to be a satire with its nonsense Monty Python
like humor, but then evolved into a complex, evolving comic community.
I'm talking about none other than the crossover Italian hit Ratman.
(35:41):
In Ratman, they break the fourth wall from ninety to
ninety five. It was on Fanzine USA, then Marvel Italia.
The History of Ratman. You'd be surprised Matt parodies Batman
instead of the Joker. Ratman has the Buffoon, the Buffoon
(36:06):
instead of Alfred, he has Archibald and the villains the
Buffoon are are all there? All that stuff? Have you
read this coming? I've heard of it. There's a Ratman
animated series as well. It's Italian. There's a guy called
the Spider who was bitten by a radioactive man size
(36:38):
to becoming radio I like it. Lots of superhero and
popular culture parodies in Leonardo's work. In rat Boy, Leo
Ortlawi still lives in Parma, near the university home of
the Johns, and has a wife and two adopted daughters.
My wife. He ended rat Man in twenty eighteen. Son
(37:02):
of a Bitch Buddy is also parodied in a very
mad magazine like way Star Wars start track The Wars
are the Stars. Rambo, Oh, Rambo? Why why are you
so hard?
Speaker 5 (37:18):
Rambo?
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Why are your face so sad? I didn't come here
to rescue Rambo from you.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
I came here to rescue you from him.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
You'll come you'll take me back with you? Ramco Oh,
well come, she shut the back o the second he
commit No, he's parodied avatar Harry Potter Twilight. I mean
he's like the weird al of comics. Yeah, and the
uh expendables Leo Ortlani Italian comic book Superstar. And we
(37:52):
shall be back with more. Petro send money On Ambirey
Sports Talk. We are like a spider that was bitten
by a radioactive man. Let a man about the best spider,
but man man bites the spider and the spider becomes evil.

the top story of the day of the football pe.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
We got good news because we had a team in
town competing for as the you know, the football types
like to say the Lombardi. Oh, okay, you still got
a team in town competing for the Lombardi?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Is that a good thing? Does that make you happy?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I wish it were the Chargers. But very few things
in the world of entertainment in America beat play off
football and this Sunday Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Omega ball and Encino's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
You wait till March, folks, It's coming and petros and
money are coming with it. For all the nitpicking, for
the slings and arrows about rageous fortune, some things we
may say about Matthew Stafford. Matt Stafford, his name is
Matthew Cool. The Hall of Famer has a chance to
(03:26):
cement his case with this playoff run if he is
awarded the MVP, which, by the way, I don't think
he should win. For those wondering, those asking who do, I.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Think there are a lot of people that do want
to know who you think is the MVP? A lot
of people. I'll say this, I got two words for you.
Justin Herbert.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
The total touchdowns are great, but eight of those came
from the one yard line. Okay, feels a little bit gross.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Stat pad like Lebron in the second half last night,
feels a little bit gross.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Eight of your forty six touchdowns from the one yard line.
He's got the best, if not second best, third best
play caller in the league, and Sean McVay. He's got
the best receiving corps. Devonte Adams Pookinacua. You heard what
Tom Telesco said yesterday, a two headed monster at running
back and Kyron Williams and Blake Corum Drake May. Should
(04:20):
he win the MVP, he will be the first MVP
winner to not have another single pro bowler on the
offensive side of the ball.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Wow, that's great stat Call it, Hayton.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Call it what you want. Which guy should win? And
why did I bring it up? Because the Rams are
kind of pushing that aside. It is a big topic
of conversation in New England because they're on perhaps a
different championship schedule than the Rams.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Well, Vrabel just got there and look what.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
He's done, while the Rams are focused on getting Matthew
Stafford that second Super Bowl and a half decade, very
tough NFC playoff bracket that he has to navigate three
road games, the incredibly fever pitched environment in Carolina last
week that Tom Tellusco talked about a place where he
once worked. They were thirsty for playoff football and they
(05:11):
showed up and they made it an incredibly adversive experience
and environment that Matthew Stafford was able to navigate. Now
he's going to be headed to Chicago Soldier Field, the
banks of Lake Michigan. Single digit temperatures at kickoff when
you factor in wind chill.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
That's bad for a dome team, unforgiving for the West
Coast domers.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Who they're talking about. Maybe zero is what it will
feel like at kickoff. Zero when the well, Matt Stafford's good.
He played in Detroit where it's really cold.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Oh it's a dome.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Coortfield is a dome. So you win that game, and
now you got to go off to Seattle. You know,
the Twelves can't say enough about the Twelves, Man Twelves,
the twelve Twelves just really shout out today. Yeah, number
one defense in the league, number one seed, just so
happens to be your division rival. They lost one game,
they won one game. Both were incredibly tight. Makes four.
(06:09):
The stuff that the Hall of Fame resumes are all
about and that's why when it comes to the MVP
talk and the politicken, a lot of it is supporting
Drake May and very little around Matthew Stafford, Rams Patriots
different parts of their procession toward a Super Bowl trophy.
(06:31):
They are a favorite road team. The Rams should be
the favorite team. But by no means does anyone think
it's going to be an easy game against a Bear
squad that has not been great on defense at times
but has.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Team with fanasas Caleb Williams. They're going to get their
putzos knocked off at some point? Will it be Sunday?
They have gotten their putsos knocked off in first halves
this year. They have been exceptional in second half. Pick
up your poots this year.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
They have picked up their poots and delivered winning football
in the second halves this year. Still many suspect the
Rams ought to win and are still the favorite to
win the Super Bowl. Flip side of that is, hey,
what are the Chargers got going on? They're looking for
an offensive coordinating There's a flip side to that coin.
They fired Greg Roman yesterday, something that was not surprising
(07:19):
considering the chatter throughout the season. The fact that their
quarterback Justin Herbert got his head caved in. His chest
was actually caved in in the playoff game courtesy of
a helmet to his sternum from Elijah Ponder. The play
design was called out. He did not have his two tackles,
(07:40):
one of them for the entire season Rashaun Slater, former
Petros Money Show guest, the other Joe Olt, for just
four games, Yet repeatedly folks pointed two the seven step drops,
the long developing routes off the play action in which
he was pressured over fifty percent of his dropbacks, two
hundred and eighty pressures, one hundred and thirty quarterback hits,
(08:03):
fifty one sacks, all the most in the league. You
had a defensive tackle for the Patriots in that playoff game.
Corey Durden, whoever the course of the entire season, had
nineteen pressures and in that game alone had seven.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
And when Tyler Durden's not tackling people for the Pats
d line, he's blowing up credit card buildings and making
soap and changing America.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Not surprising after watching some of the hits that Herbert
took in the final game of the season and that
abrupt end to what many thought could have been maybe
a Super Bowl runner, an AFC Championship run. You end
up with a couple guys being told, thank you for
your service, but we will proceed without you.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
The decision of who to bring in will be an
interesting one because Herbert has already had five coordinators on
that side of the ball in his six seasons of play,
the best, of course being Shane Steichen, the current head
coach of the Indianapolis Colts and someone who helped Philadelphia
make a Super Bowl. He was the offensive coordinator there,
probably should have stayed, but Brandon Staley wanted to bringing
his own guy, Joe Lombardi, who was solid, not spectacular,
(09:08):
and has not been asked to be an offensive coordinator
anywhere since. He is kind of just Sean Payton's guy
who stands next to him while he's calling the plays.
Kellen Moore, of course, left to coordinate a Philadelphia offense
that won the Super Bowl and then landed a head
coaching job with New Orleans. Justin got hurt, and I
(09:28):
would assume they'll bring in somebody that is talented enough
to try to maximize the talent that is Justin Herbert.
That is that receiving corps that is amar On Hampton,
and if Slater and Alter healthy all season, you would
assume it is a very desirable job. If you do
get a talented play caller with all of that available
(09:49):
to them, it does mean someone like a Mike McDaniel
or a Brian Dable could be one and done. They
could put up some of the biggest numbers, the best numbers,
get Justin Herbert that playoff winner two, and then find
themselves moving on after a single season. Ultimately, what you're
looking for is someone like Greg Roman, who you know
is never going to be a head coach, but you'd
(10:11):
prefer them to be a good play caller, which Greg
Roman over his two seasons showed that maybe he wasn't.
But Brian Daball maybe perfect candidate.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Well, the guy loses this whole old line he did,
and then you call him out and say you don't
know how to call him plays.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It just was a bit of a rough season, that's all,
you know, Maybe just a just if you don't have
any of the old lineman.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I mean, if the guy couldn't call plays, why did
people think the Chargers are going to win the Super Bowl? Defense?
The hell of a defense. That's why jesse Miners.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Getting all them interviews to get a sidebar going here
on the Raiders, I would say they absolutely have to
find someone who was an offensive play callers. Their next
head coach talked about jesse Minner perhaps landing there. But
one of the reasons why you're burning through offensive coordinators
because no one wants to go there. It's too unstable.
Talent is not there. You look at the other side
of the ball. Not that Patrick Graham is in a
(10:59):
good defensive coordinator. He is, but there's a reason why
he survived four head coaches because they can't find anybody
that's better, and they can't find anyone that wants to
come take the job. Because Mark Davis is going to
have a new head coach for the fourth season in
a row on opening day. He is paying six general
managers and head coaches after firing them after just one year.
(11:21):
It is too hard to get a really good coordinator
to sign on and get blown out by an impatient owner.
So you look at the Mike McDaniels, the Brian Dabols
that are getting a bunch of interviews, Maybe try to
get them so they can lock up that side of
the ball. Keep Patrick Graham out there. There's a lot
of heat on this young guy in Jacksonville who was
under Kevin O'Connell. Maybe that's the guy they could get
(11:42):
in so much heat and douvall on. That guy last
name starts with A you, So take that with you.
You tell all your friends, Hey, that uh OC got.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
You, Jacksonparrasa, I will tell my friends, Matt, that's exactly
what I do.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I you know they're gonna draft Fernando Mendoz. I want
to know what's happening, and they're going to get that
OC from Jacksonville whose name starts with the US, like
thirty years old coach.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
That could be their.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Guy because look, you look at the broncos of the
number one seed, the Chargers won eleven games in back
to back years. You would assume the Chiefs are going
to bounce back next year. You don't need to be
on a let's try to win ten games next year plan.
When you're drafting Fernando Mendoz the number one overall, you're
probably going to be on a two to three year play.
So get yourself a young play calling head coach. And
(12:26):
that's for the Raiders for the Raiders. The Chargers need
a play caller. The Raiders need a play calling head coach,
somebody that hopefully won't get hired as a head coach
next year. Can you find someone that can stick around
and give Justin Herbert some continuity is what I would say.
And the Rams may they win their fancy playoff game.
(12:46):
I don't feel like you're right.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I don't, but I'm trying to. I'm trying to, you know,
trying to support what some of the city want to see.
Well also not being entire comfortably, entirely comfortable supporting it,
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
But I'm trying, because you know what I mean, Baker run.
It's gonna be a lot to swallow. I know it's
gonna be. It's gonna be a load to what it's
gonna be, but I'm prepared. It's gonna be like the
Freedom Trade running right in your ass.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Exactly right. It is exactly what it's gonna feel like.
It would be the freaking human caterpillar.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Well, good luck with that offensive coordinator higher, thank you.
Maybe they'll get coach you.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Maybe Arthur Smith, you know, get all that FedEx money
pumping in here. I don't think it's applicable, but you
know it's kind of wild. His dad started FedEx and
he's an offensive coordinator. To this out of a job
because Mike Tomlin stepped out. Good luck to everybody involved. Indeed,
we'll be right back with the flip top story of
the day. We gotta talk about Lebron James.

FlipTop story of the day. Now. As I've mentioned on
the show, I'm no longer rational about this. Every time
I go on X or Twitter, I am fully indoctrinated,
completely immersed in Lebron hate. There are at least five
(15:21):
or six Twitter accounts that I follow that are twenty
four to seven dedicated showing you what a bad guy
Lebron is, showing him peaking through his hands.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Any are any of them called Jabron lanes? No, so
why don't we launch the Jabron Lame's Twitter account?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You have to hire somebody to cut video and talk
over it like they do and attack Lebron. There's the
MJ the Goat, There's Hero of the day. Is a
good anti Lebron. Bricks Center is always looking for Lebron
to throw up an airball or Bronnnie.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
That's that's an extensive Bronny hate on brick Center.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Throw up an airball. There's Apex Jones, Oh, Apex Joones.
Nobody goes harder on Lebron. Apex Jones is my favorite
of the Lebron. So whenever I turn on my device
or go on to the computer.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That's an algorithm. It finds what you like and it
wants to feed you what you want.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
They know that I don't like Lebron, and they're taking
advantage of it by showing me everything that Lebron has
ever done that is annoying. And the list gets longer daily,
every single day, every damn night. It never stops. But
yesterday was especially Jabron Lames. Now most of the very
(16:40):
angry accounts were like, look at that Lucas getting forty
in the first half, just so this old m effort
and stat pad in the second half around like the
star and walk around like a rooster. And he was
talking out of his last night when he was asked
(17:06):
where the care level is for a guy like him
forty one years old? Like why he cares so much
about basketball? To the rash asked this question, Oh well,
of course, Wait, he's so great, Lebron. I'm sorry, how
does he ask the question?
Speaker 6 (17:26):
I would never disrespect the basketball gods and not understand
that it's a real thing. And uh, you know, I
would never disrespect the basketball guys when it comes to
playing this game.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
So I'll put the time and the effort in the.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
Commitment and mentally, physically, spiritually, you know, every time I
hit the floor or a matter of practice, whatever the case,
going to be trying to set the example for my
teammates and a younger generation that's watching me or watching
me throughout my career. I mean, my son is right
over there, so I can't afford to choot the game everyone.
I would never do that, and I got to send
an example for him over there too. So you know,
(18:00):
jay Z will say, if you can't respect that, your
whole perspective is whack.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Maybe you love me when I fade the black.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Lyric it's from the jay Z song December fourth maybe
off his twenty three release Respect there. It is twenty
three years old, jay Z, you can't respect that the
black Now.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Maybe you love me when I.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Maybe when everything that comes out of this guy's mouth
get you want to vibe out a little bit?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
You do that?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Is this the album you guys listened to three different
times because it was so good? Just every trial that
was a Drake.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
That was a Drake album, I said was the best
album of the year. That was when he had listened
to it three times.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I believe. After that, Mike Traddell, when the cameras went off, said,
I love Jigger's new album. Have you heard it late GM?
So there is Yeah, Okay, you can't, I get it.
He's step knife capic, He's got his own pack.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
This is like the number one song on Spotify now
because of Lebron this way maybe.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
The Carpenter's out, jay Z's in. I hope Lebron stays
on the Lakers and wrecks them forever, because when he goes,
it's gonna be like when Bill Ryder got fired from here.
When he goes, it's gonna be low. It's not gonna
be any fun to attack. As he says something dumb
or something something stupid. Every single night he said, like tonight,
(19:39):
last night, damn night. Yeah, well last night he's saying,
I don't want to disrespect the basketball gods. Two nights ago,
he was like, bro, I'm forty one, what do you
want from me? It's like, well, which one is it?
You want to be forty one and old or do
you want to be a guy that is getting fifty
two million dollars?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Excuse me?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
All right?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
He was also asked about his routine every day. Oh,
please ask me about my routine.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
That's a plant, especially a day like yesterday where he's
not cheating the basketball gods.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Dan Woyke asked this question. Oh yeah, hey, Dan, do
me a favor. Asked me this question?

from a clutch. That's a clutch plan.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
That is exactly what I'm a legend. Hey, you want
that one on one with lebron tonight? You asked him
what his routine was.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Now, this is wiki asking about second game of the

Thank you. You're going to go to Bruce Springsteen. It's
remote reminisce enough.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Oh what a coincidence? Well, I man, I don't think
that the question is a plan.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I mean, you don't think that's a plan.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Dan Wiki is a legitimate Medium member and he would
never ask a question that the rich Paul Clutch people
asked him to ask Lebron James, and Lebron James was
ready to fire off.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
I am all about the Zoomo TV experience with less
app hop Now, there was a time when everybody wanted
the hopper there. Why like, that's the hopper. No, we
don't want the hopper.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
No, we want less app hopping and more non stop pumping.
There you go exactly right. Find your Western House TV
at best Buy or on Amazon. Matt, you got the
dead guy birthday of the day. We're gonna come back
and do one more segment and meaty and then get
to a clippers whiz.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Your dead guy happy would have been. Apparently this is
going to go over quite well with the eighteen to
thirty year old male audience of the Petros and Money Show,
because happy would have been two thousand a lot the
sixth We do right in our wheelhouse. Man to Marcus Antonius,
commonly known in English as Mark Anthony, one of the
(28:45):
most influential political and military figures of the late Roman Republic.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
People love the Roman Empire, and they do of all
the public masturbation. The kids called him m A I
think TC tim Kaites. According to Stephen Nelson, I called him.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
He lived a life that was closely intertwined with the
collapse of Republican government in Rome and the rise of
the Roman Empire. An ass kicking soldier, a skilled general,
a brilliant persuasive orator, and ambitious and conniving politician. Truly
a superstar of the Roman Empire. Antonius was the central
(29:31):
figure in the power struggles that followed the assassination of
Julius Caesar. He was born into a prominent but troubled
Roman family. His grandfather was a respected order of His
father died young, so they had no scratch, considerable debt.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
No scratch. Hard. He was like a handful of sault. Yeah,
they had no salt, the end of the bloom stone salt.
They had nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
He was as tough as they come, though, but he
also liked the party, which tends to happen with the
tough guys, you know. He gained a reputation for extravagance,
for reckless behavior. That got him into a little bit
of trouble, so we had to disappeared laylow for a bit.
But he rose through a military career in the Eastern Provinces,
no fear, complete dominance on the battlefield. He earned a
reputation of supreme courage of leadership under fire that set
(30:18):
him up for a larger role in Roman politics. Antonius
saw an opening, aligned himself with Julius Caesar, served as
his trusted lieutenant, ran and dominated during the Gaelic Wars
and later during Caesar's civil war against POMPEII the Great
In forty four BC, Caesar appointed Antonius's counsel, the highest
(30:40):
office well below Caesar in the Roman state, which then
put him at the center of Roman political life at
a critical moment. Caesar's assassinated in March of that year Antonia.
That saw the opening. I remember it like it was yesterday,
I know, right before I caught the trade. He presented
himself as Caesar's rightful political heir. He had a very
(31:03):
famous funeral oration that put him in the pole position
to take over. And then all of a sudden, out
of nowhere, who is this efen orphan? Caesar's adopted son,
Octavian later went by Augustus, became a big problem. The
rivalry between the two men was intense. It split the republic.
It led to a series of shifting alliances of civil wars.
(31:24):
But they sorted it out. They found some common ground.
Forty three PC, Antonius Octavian Marcus Emilius Lepidus formed the
Second Triumphrate, a legally sanctioned three man dictatorship. He had
a couple marriages prior, and then he makes a critical mistake.
He hooks up with Octavian's sister Octavia. They have two daughters.
(31:50):
So the triumphor in his human defeat Caesar's assassins Brutus
Cassius at the Battle of Phelippe, they split things up arman.
Antonius took control of Rome eastern territories all as well,
where it Brutus, but he ditched Octavia, pissed off her brother,
and even more so when he ditched Octavia for that
(32:11):
freaking piece as Cleopatra.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Oh that's right, yeah, Liz Taylor. So now, you fool,
Cleopatra was black.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
They're pumping out a bunch of kids, strengthening antonius power
in the east, but Octavian portrays him as disloyal, as
corrupted by foreign influence. Octavian calling out his wife his
love so Mark Anthony is like, hey, f you pal.
Nobody talks about my leavy that way.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Nobody talks about Liz Taylor and lives to tell about
it except for Richard Burton. Exactly right. She is sex
and human form.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
That showdown came to a head of the Battle of
Actium thirty one BC. Antonius Cleopatra defeated by Octavian's crew.
That's what they call back then.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
A crew.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, k R E W E right, and if it
was plural with his e cruise.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Great guy.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Because he was still so chapped about the whole thing
with his sister, he didn't stop. He advanced on Egypt.
He umiliated, I find myself chat humiliated Mark Anthony.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
He thought Cleopatra was dead, so he commits suicide. He
does not die.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
He does realize she had not committed suicide in fact,
and he dies in her arms. She so affected by
his death, does the same, and Octavian became the undisputed
ruler of the Roman world.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Is that how it went?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Just like on Juliet, Just like that man, Wow, okay,
I thought she killed herself, die in her arms, and
then she's like, all right, this sucks.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
I think she killed herself. Like six months later, Well, Matt,
we will move on to modern Italy or what is
now known as Italy.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
You could have used it too, Italian News. Yeah, I
guess I could have. You didn't use it.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
I did not, So you have full rights. You now
have priority lives with Italian News. Cornelio met mon, He's
met that. Yeah, Jamie Lee, I love you.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Leonardo ort Lanni fifty nine years old today, born in Pisa,
moved to Parma. That's where that guy was eating that chicken.
Parma Jean. His name was Parma Jean. He still lives
in Parma. He's so popular there they do call him
(34:31):
Parma John. His name's Leonardo. Leonardo ort Lanni grew up
loving the comic books, in particular Jack Kirby, and there
is a big Jack Kirby exhibit at the Skirball. If
anybody's interested in, you're gonna go. No, I don't go anywhere.
I'm eleven percent. I can go stan Lee anybody. You
don't have to be Jewish to go, and I don't
(34:54):
care low cooler if you are. He went to the
University of Parma, home of the Fighting John Leonardo is playing.
Is behind the Parma Parma Joan's be careful, you might
have going home with one of them. Leonardo was behind
(35:15):
the Italian parody comic book about an inep superhero, initially
meant to be a satire with its nonsense Monty Python
like humor, but then evolved into a complex, evolving comic community.
I'm talking about none other than the crossover Italian hit Ratman.
(35:41):
In Ratman, they break the fourth wall from ninety to
ninety five. It was on Fanzine USA, then Marvel Italia.
The History of Ratman. You'd be surprised Matt parodies Batman
instead of the Joker. Ratman has the Buffoon, the Buffoon
(36:06):
instead of Alfred, he has Archibald and the villains the
Buffoon are are all there? All that stuff? Have you
read this coming? I've heard of it. There's a Ratman
animated series as well. It's Italian. There's a guy called
the Spider who was bitten by a radioactive man size
(36:38):
to becoming radio I like it. Lots of superhero and
popular culture parodies in Leonardo's work. In rat Boy, Leo
Ortlawi still lives in Parma, near the university home of
the Johns, and has a wife and two adopted daughters.
My wife. He ended rat Man in twenty eighteen. Son
(37:02):
of a Bitch Buddy is also parodied in a very
mad magazine like way Star Wars start track The Wars
are the Stars. Rambo, Oh, Rambo? Why why are you
so hard?
Speaker 5 (37:18):
Rambo?
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Why are your face so sad? I didn't come here
to rescue Rambo from you.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
I came here to rescue you from him.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
You'll come you'll take me back with you? Ramco Oh,
well come, she shut the back o the second he
commit No, he's parodied avatar Harry Potter Twilight. I mean
he's like the weird al of comics. Yeah, and the
uh expendables Leo Ortlani Italian comic book Superstar. And we
(37:52):
shall be back with more. Petro send money On Ambirey
Sports Talk. We are like a spider that was bitten
by a radioactive man. Let a man about the best spider,
