In Today, the Great Dave Damashek, we did it. We
did it? Is that what you just said?

Speaker 3 (01:25):
We did it? I'm calling our shot, our collective shot
did it.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I'm ready.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Petros is on vacation and Dave Damashek came in, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
He did it.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Now you're up.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
I'm in with Money on our Monday and Day, Yeah
you did it, he did it. Day.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
We have a lot of villains, but damnit Shack is
one of my favorite sending he did it.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
The god did that.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Sorry, I didn't want to bum every three. That used
to be how we ended every show on Friday. I
believe before Steve Bush was kind enough to make the
Petros and Money Show outro song.

Speaker 6 (02:12):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
And for some reason it has sat dormant in that machine.
What do you think, Kate's oh twelve thirteen years. I
was just going to say a decade, And when you
just said we did it, I was like, oh, wait
a minute, I wonder if we still have we did
it in the machine?

Speaker 6 (02:26):
You see everything's coming up Money Today. We were on Monday.
We were talking about how long the show has been
on off the air. For a minute. Here, Dave's been
here for It's an institution. It's very kind of you
to say that, But things like that are reminders of, oh, yeah,
we've been here a long time, because Kate's is not embellishing.
I do think it's been at least a decade, maybe

(02:49):
twelve years since we've played that song, and it used
to play every single Friday.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Can I say? I don't want to interrupt right out
of the gate, but I have to say we are
now or as of yesterday, eight sundays away from the
regular season of the National Football League. I think it's
terrific news.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
But we're the ones that kick it off. So I
don't even want to do the eight sundays away. I
want to do. You know, we are twenty four days
away from football, from the Hall of Fame game in Canton,
where you'll be talking about like That's the thing is,
even in the preseason, you're still talking about football while

(03:31):
football's being played. So while the names on the back
of the jerseys won't ring familiar and you won't feel
like there's this heightened sense of competition, you're still talking
about the Lions and h Ben Johnson's gone and how's
this gonna look? And how are we gonna you know,
and the Chargers and Jim Harboss second, and it's even though,
like you said, September fourth is the kickoff between the

(03:53):
Eagles and who are they playing? I don't remember the
Lions maybe sound and then we go the fifth, the
Chargers go the fifth again, it's the Chiefs on that Friday,
but the Hall of Finger yeah, case.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
I don't mean to one up you both, but we're
five days away from training camps opening, with the Chargers
being the first one.

Speaker 7 (04:12):
Five days.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
I want the inside scoop. I'm the Chargers, ma'n money Smith.
With that, who better to get.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
It from than the voice of those Chargers. Well, I
will let you know as camp commences. But the OTAs
the mini camps awfully enjoyable to see a healthy Justin
Herbert out there, that's for certain. I think people forget
that Justin torres planner in training camp last year.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
I wrote that down as something that I wanted to
bring up to you at some point today, that the
Chargers of twenty twenty four, in Harbaugh's year one and
year two is what you look to typically for Jim
Harbaugh big turnaround. I think there's reason for optimism, but
people forget in that first season as you say, Justin
Herbert was injured before it even started, and then they

(05:00):
got off to that nice start.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
And then he rolled his ankle in week two, so
he gets his planner right, He's dealing in Carolina. Everything
looks good, and then he rolls that ankle. And you know,
we were on the road that week for a full week,
so I'm watching him. Hobby went to Pittsburgh next, right,
We went to Pittsburgh next and he is literally in
a walking boot, hobbling. Not like, oh, he's walking in
his ankles protected, No, he is. He has got a

(05:23):
hitch in his giddy up. And then he goes out
in places which he probably shouldn't had to come out
in the second half, and then I think that just
I don' found it for the rest of the season.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I don't know if it's an LA thing in Football
America that people sort of disregard the LA teams largely.
You talk about you say that once we get to
the Hall of Fame game and training camp and all
the rest of it, that then we will begin talking
about pro football at large. But the fact of the
matter is we never stopped talking about it at any point. Now,

(05:53):
there's no month that we are not buzzing about the
NFL in the twenty first century, if you like to
talk about sports at all, professionally or otherwise.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
But I mean, no league has done a better job
of setting up their league calendar to ensure that there's
always something. You know, right now, is our only like
three week window where there's truly nothing. There's like nothing
happening right now for these until we get to training
couple of weeks. But outside of that, there's always something.
There's trades, there's free agency, there's coaching movement, there's but

(06:25):
I mean, Aaron Rodgers, Yeah, you're Pittsburgh Steelers, your childhood
favorite team that should not be the favorite team of your.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Child not childhood now lifelong.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's it for like, just fight for you, not okay
for your kids.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
You know what? I have an update to the real
update on that. Yes, I'm born and raised on the
banks of the Three Rivers, and as such, I'm a
Steelers fan through and through.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
And you've been in LA for how long?

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Twenty five years, twenty six twenty six six years years? Yeah,
longer than I than I lived in Pittsburgh. Exactly right, yeah,
exactly right. Listen, those roots seeing deep.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
They really don't, though, What would you know?

Speaker 3 (07:01):
What would you know about any of it? What would
you know about what it is to me to be around,
to be around for Lombardi trophies and in a half
dozen years. You don't know what that feels like. You
don't know what that does to a kid's brain.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
I do not. You're Joe over correct on that. No,
that's fine for you for all days, fine for you.
I'm talking about the future generation. Damnascheks. Where are we
at there? You know this is something that has long
been a tussle between you and I that you did
your child that disservice.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Southside Chicago, Matt money Smith, excuse me, I'll be a
little late today, everybody. I'm going surfing my children about
your roots. To hell with my roots, I lay to
hell with your roots? Who says such a thing?

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Nineteen ninety one.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
We just celebrated the birth of this.

Speaker 7 (07:46):
And you say the roots thirty four years I've been here.
All of my children love the Dodgers, they love the Chargers. Obviously,
they loved the Lakers. When I worked for the Lakers,
or when I had season tickets for the Lakers.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Children were girls, so them girls in the in the
money household. They understand who's bringing home that money, right,
They understand you guys are Chargers. Fans are shame the devil.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
I think it just naturally happened because they weren't really
NFL fans. We didn't have a team, so we didn't
really go to games. They like going to games, like
they become fans when I drag them. I think that's
with with kids, like.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
This is what you do. You make your you make
your progeny. Come and watch you work that they sit
in the booth all this time.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
No, they I get them, I get them seats, they
get you know how it is with kids, you like
going to the game isn't necessarily even about the game.
It's I got the I got the fries, and I
got the hot dog, and now I've got the carvels.
It got like they were they were bigger Kings fans,
because that's the first place we went that the Kings
and Kirk Schwartzkoff, the general, God bless him. He's over
in Denver now, but he would give us a sweet

(08:49):
he would have an empty suite.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
I knew, I knew, I knew it couldn't be about
just you hang rubbing elbows with the cities way.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
You're up there in the luxury now and the kids
would get the dessert cart. They're like, I love the Kings.
When we go to the Kings game again, this is great.
I just had the cur stick was bs. So give
me the update your children, I am. They're now elders.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Not one of them of my I think I have
four someone that's spread across the San Fernando Valley. Uh
that's at last check. I'm pretty sure that's an accurate total.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
There.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
None of them has indicated any interest in their eye
wandering at any of the other thirty one brands. I
feel like I now, spiritually, I feel like something has
changed for what the Steelers were about this this off season,
and I don't we're going to ready. We could talk
Chargers and Rams, Rams versus Chargers. By the way, here's

(09:47):
an update for you.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
I got a little something written up for you, a
little interesting take on the angle there.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Twenty twenty one, Yes was the year the Rams won
the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Right.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
I predicted before that season started it would be Once
upon a time in Inglewood. I thought it was going
to be Stafford V. Herbert in that Super Bowl. It
came fairly close. Obviously, Staff Conny.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Ate nothing on the Jaguars, and then it gets sideways
on you.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
I think there's a fair chance that we get Chargers
Rams this year. I'll say you, is the the two
things are obviously a major question to say outside of
Derwin James, is the defense up to snuff? And two?

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Where is the O line? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (10:25):
But I do buy that Harby at least will take
care of that, and they will be a rugged outfit,
a rugged unit, and they will push people around, including
the Chiefs, and I think they really can make some
hay in the West. I just don't know if the
defense is up to.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
It that interesting. The defense, I have a little more
faith in that refres a pass rush. Jesse Minner, Well,
you still Khalil Mack played atn incredibly high levels last year.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
He's all depend on the cliff. You never know what
day's going to fall off.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
The cliff exactly, but so far it hasn't happened. I
think he's one of those Tom Brady kind of Lebron
James guys. When you see him walking, he is a
body is my temple really nutritionist. He was in the
gym in the facility every single day. Other guys started
coming in to work out with because he's that kind
of guy.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
I think that that starts maybe with Walter Payton and
or Jerry Rice, and then leads to Kobe Bryant. And
now the assumptions that we had because of when we
were growing up. Guy, what's thirty six, So he was
he was finished pretty much most guys nobody made it
the thirty eight thirty nine. In the twenty first century,

(11:32):
now it's becoming fairly routine that if you take care
of yourself and if you're going Lebron Sydney Crosby, Tom Brady.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
I think the difference too was like anything, you know
when when we're growing up, right a passage, you get
your driver's license and get a pack of cigarettes. Parents
aren't here to watch them anymore, and you goes score
some smokes. See but that's all about, you know, go out,
get a little drink the little beers with the fellas,
and now kids are a little more healthy he supposed

(12:00):
to as far as that goes in. But I think
athletes were the same, you know, like they'd finish the
game and what do we remember from post like postgame
press conferences just to date, ourselves were guys with a
beer on the on the lectern, like they're drinking beers.
They're smoking cigarette Leland's smoking cigarettes in the dug out
or at least in the stairwell on the way in

(12:21):
the clubhouse, filling the thing up with secondhand smoking. The
way things twice about it, and it's just all of
that is now changed.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
I guess that's true. I went to maybe twelve or
so years ago, maybe even longer ago than that. I
was in the fancy blue seats right behind home play
those job at Ravine. Yeah, yeah, you must have not
wanted to go that night and given throw me your
tickets there.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
That's what I call secretary Knight. They were playing the Marlins.
Here you go go enjoy that, Dave.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
I thought it was cool you only you only asked
me four hundred dollars per ticket, So I I paid
it because it was a once in a lifetime operatay. Anyway,
the game was decided and Derek Glow was the starting
pitcher for the Dodgers, and so we went down underneath
before the game had ended, and there we found at

(13:09):
a table of four in the blue room you know
where all the great food and everything is under there,
Derek Low another fella. Two beautiful women take care and
belts in front of all of them.

Speaker 8 (13:23):
The game's still going, man, and you're already bending the elbow.
I'm right here, I'm in the stadium. This is happening
where you are a paid professional.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
That's what you paid and I loved it, of course
you did.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
But I don't know. I don't This is a weird thing,
as we've talked about before on this show. It is
a defining sort of thing, like the ginger Maryanne Gilligan
Gilligan's Island. Which would you choose in the early part
of this millennium dynasty, Shaq or Kobe? Who did you
relate to more? For me, it was and always will

(14:00):
be Shack. His attitude was, nobody can stop me already.
I'm good enough. I'm good enough. I'm not going to
put in extra work. I'm already dominant enough, so I
win title, I.

Speaker 6 (14:10):
Get hurt on your time, I'll get fat and whatever,
I'm gonna be a three dimensions.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Kobe was obsessive about his workouts and admirable. But I
wouldn't be I wouldn't be that guy, I'd be shack.
I'd be Mario Lemieux who went asked, how do you
get ready for training camp every hockey season? He said,
I stopped eating the fries on the side of my sandwich.
That was his training regimen. Sure, I like that better.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
It feels like hockey is still in that spot right
of all the sports of all When I look at
the guys and they don't, you know, they take off
the sweater and they're in the locker room and and
they're pot it does feel like hockey has yet to find.
My body is my temple. I need to take care
of it, feed it correctly.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
I'm gonna still ride with big time baseball. I still
think that's that where the most slav the highest percentage
of Slovenly figures in baseball are on display. Is that right?

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Okay, So let's go the opposite direction. Let's go well,
I mean offensive linemen are slot. That's why I think
this is maybe the better way to go. Which between
hockey and baseball, which sports do you think has the
higher concentration of incredibly fit, super athletic players.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
It's got to be hockey. How could you survive in
hockey if you weren't incredibly fit.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Well, I'm talking about you know, I only eat this.
I'm working out. I take my shirt off and I'm shredded.
You've got outfielders in baseball where you kind of have
that five tool player athletic athleticism bill. That's it.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
I cannot imagine mac Max Munsey. Well, he's a third
basement is discernibly better fit than you are. But I'm
thinking like Fernando Tatis, you know that sort of player,
and that's a good one.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
I think you're right, Kate.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
You want to weigh in on this one side from
we have to separate out the line of scrimmage guys
the nose tackles, and you can still have still have
wide receivers and corners and safety Like those guys are
just insane athletes. So that's football is out. I'm talking
about hockey versus baseball, which has the let's just call it,

(16:23):
uh dad boss regular. Yeah, okay, that's you don't have
to be a slob, yeah, regular, not hyper jack exactly. Baseball.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah. I think I think you're right.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
It's gotten better.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
But I mean, I was just going through my eighties
and nineties baseball cards over the fourth of July weekend.
And man, you gotta see guys like with Steve Potroji
and I think was his Trojan. I mean, there are
guys with guts on their baseball. We're talking present day,
present day.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Still still, hockey players are better athletes. I just mean
body I'm talking body type. When they're in the clubhouse
and their shirt is off and they're sitting in their locker,
hockey players are better. Yeah, I think you're right. It's baseball.
It's a lot of standing around, you know, a lot
of standing around waiting for action. And look, I think
the interesting part of that is you can argue because

(17:07):
hockey is nothing but a sprint in forty five second
to ninety second shifts. It is a full It's like
a boxing match where you know, people that have never
boxed before they get through that first run and they're like,
Jesus Christ, what was that? And that's hockey.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Vaguely apropos of what we're talking about is by the way,
I also another subject of a fit guy deep into
his life. I saw a mission impossible, the final one.
Now I talk about changing my worldview.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
The final mission, Mission impossible, Final missions, and it's great
isn't it an eighth installment of a film franchise? Is
what has changed your worldview on something?

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yeah, I'm just this subject.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
I used to say, Harrison Ford.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
I was that was gonna when we discussed this, that.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Was all movement the greatest movie.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Star and we're talking movie star. We're not talking and
the history of movie star and what what would you?

Speaker 3 (18:05):
And I know what goes into the craft of of acting? Whatever?
We we we we see what we see and we
we either like it.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
I thought about going to the actor studio, thought about
it for a minute.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
I would love that would have been fun. If if
I could go with you, I would like to do
that for one year of my life. If I would
do a semester, it.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Would take one. It would take one session for you
to go this is a complete week.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
You're all teapots. Let's see like, No, we're not. No,
we're not next next what you got for? That's not
gonna worky, that's that's too silly, too dumb.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yes, I'm not doing that. I'm sorry. I'm not a teapot.
How about I'm not a teapot.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
I'm not a teeth pot. So I'm not short and stout.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
What all right? What was your what? What did you
take away from Mission Impossible eight that changed your worldview?

Speaker 3 (18:48):
He is the greatest movie star in the history of people.
He is the bad I know first of all. As
far as acting goes, He's He's tremendous in rain Man,
I don't disagree, Magnolia, Magnolia. He's really good.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
In comedies like Risky Business, doing good work there.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Rangey Rangey as a as as a straight up actor.
I mean, you know, I worked with Kubri.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Blockbusters with crappy scripts like Days of Thunder. You're still
engaged for two hours.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
And it goes all the way back to it goes
all the way back to the Top Gun, Top Gun.
Just as just as his character as Maverick went through
some trials in Travail, so is Tom Cruise.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Goose is dead because I'm Maverick.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
That's exactly right. That's if you haven't seen the sequel,
Long Awaited, that's kind of where they pick up. And
then John Hamm plays a jerk, a real jerk, somebody
that you had an issue with, who also in real
life was real jerk to me because he kicked me
out of our fantasy but that's a story for another time.
He's I want you, I want you. I don't want

(19:53):
you to just throw something at me. I want you
to give this some thought. Is there, whatever you think
of is you know whatever he does with his personal time,
and who has done more for longer at a high
level in cinema, then Tom Cruise, it's unbelievable. Now he's
in his sixties. This cat, this this this insane human being.

(20:18):
In the last, the big climactic scene, he goes out
onto the wing.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
I'd like to see it. Well, I have to see
this film.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
As my wife describes it, like I'm not into the
Mission Impossible movies. It just seems like it's a series
of Tom Cruise saying, like, you know, would be cool
is if I went and did something crazy and people
don't stand in his way.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
That's an accurate I think that's an accurate takeaway.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
He goes out on a biplane, like a World War
One kind of thing, like Red bearn kind of stuff. Sure,
and he actually is attached to the wing. You can't
tell that he's The story is that he's hanging out
on the wing and everything else.

Speaker 8 (20:49):
He's a sixty something year old man, right, and he
actually hangs it, doesn't say, hey, stunt man, your turn.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Oh he does his stunts that motorcycle off that ramp
with the parachute where he did that, that's crazy. I
appreciate that. If I were to push back, you said it,
I think Harrison Ford is in that conversation a few
of the most iconic roles in the history of cinema
Indiana Jones and in a row he goes.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Rick Deckert in Blade Runner, right, Indiana Jones hands solo.
If you got to play even one of those people
in your in your career, it would be a boom.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
And then even the ones you know, even witness.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
John Book That's who he plays after he plays Indiana Jones.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
One of my favorite for Harrison, Like you think about
the Fugitive, Uh he was Mosquito Coast right, Yep, Yeah, phenomenal.
So Harrison Ford, I'd probably push back. And then I
think the other one just in terms of films, and
I'm just trying to think are there enough of them
to say, Jack Nicholson? Are there are there enough? And
I think, like when I think about The Departed, like

(21:54):
when you get to some of those later films, he's still.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
He's great parted, but the Hard It is among the
most overrated movies you will ever see. I don't understand
the ongoing affection people. Nicholson is phenomenal in he's great.
Go see. I can't think of the name about I
was just gonna say about Schmidt. The final frame of
the movie might make you weep. Be prepared.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
So that's I think Nicholson's in there.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Paul Newman is the most great movies if you go
pull up the list.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
And just count them up, and it goes to like
the ones that people wouldn't put in their top For me,
the Verdict's my favorite, but most people wouldn't have that
in their top five, top ten, and it's one of
the all time great Listen. Now we sound like a
couple of real idiots discussing like high but people remember,
as I have dragged this into the Douche file category

(22:47):
check started at Tom Cruise, which is okay for us.
That's okay.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Nicholson's not crazy and ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
I said when we go to Newman and I'm like,
you know, the Verdict, if you really think about it,
that's that's an a whole thing to do.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Drop Daniel Dave Lewis. Then then we go to break
right without.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Well, we're already supposed to go to break and I
haven't even got to this yet because we got news.
Fire it up, Kate. Second stop of the twelfth annual
Petro Some Money Summer Tours this Friday, July eleventh. Set
your schedules. September's tap Roomania Rerancho Cucamonga, right off the two.
You know how we feel that the Petro Some Money
Shop we are inland traffic adverse. We want freeway adjacent locations.

(23:29):
That's us making sure we take care of you and
your mental health and not having to deal with two
to three miles off the freeway, multiple stop lights. Maybe
you don't make the first cycle and now you're in
a bad mood. Right off the two ten freeway at
Haven Avenue thre eight to six pm. Drink and food specials.
A big favorite of ours Modello and it is a meech.

(23:49):
A lot of Monday it is not a real meet,
A lot of it is not made with Modello. We
have the fighting spirit and it's our reward, the mark
of a fighter. So we got Modello and we have
our friends at surfside over at Surfside vodka and iced
tea pouring that we have Dodger tickets, and that evening

(24:10):
we drag you all the way out to the Kook, right,
and we don't want you sitting in traffic at six
pm on the two ten, or if you got to
hop over to the ten or whatever you may deal
with the ninety one, the sixty, they're all horrible options.
Someone's gonna get tickets to loan Mark Field that night
for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, the minor league affiliate of

(24:32):
the Dodgers, because it is gonna be Joe Kelly Bobblehead night.
And the reason we're doing that between three and three
thirty pm, Joe Kelly coming to see what about that?
The Great Joe Kelly to be hanging out with us
and his glasses and his glasses and his mustache and

(24:52):
his Mariachi Joe outfit. I would imagine that's what people want,
although the temperatures may prevent that from being.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
Maybe you can do like Derek Lowe and have a
drink before the game.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Good idea, it's a real good idea. Although I don't
think he's gonna be pitch. I think he's just gonna
go out there. Maybe well, he's gonna throw out the
first pitch and then you got that kind of heat
in your arm.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
How many Modellos can you get in him before he
takes the hump?

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Let's find out that's great, Let's find out great one shot.
We got Dodger tickets as I mentioned, toun I get
away to MGM Resorts in Vegas. Oh, our friend Brent
over at Brett at Westinghouse got us a fifty five
inch TV again and our final prize will be five
grand at the final PMS tour stop at the end
of the summer. Big thank you to our sponsors Sweet
James or Sidebodk and Iced Tea, Berry's tickets, Loan Mark, Westinghouse,

(25:39):
Grovey Grove Living Spaces gave away that five hundred dollar
gift card last time out. And of course Modelo it
is not a real metch a lot of if it's
not made with Modello. La Mark of a Fighter got
that out of the way. Hell of an opening segment, shack.
As always, you dictate terms you roll in and usually

(26:01):
this is a show about a show, and we just
talked about the show and we're like, well, you know
here on the show, we're gonna be going to Rancho Cook.
We talked about that for five minutes here on the show.
We're gonna talk to David Besse at two thirty. It
gets you a little bit, but boom straight out the
gate NFL talk fandom and when it's okay to let
go of your roots and embrace the local team.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
How about Modello? While we talk about Modello, that's where
we go next segment. Looking forward to it, Holy.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Search side Strawberry lemonading if you'd like it. In our
Modelo frage.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
A refrigerator, you have arrived.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Our friends at model they we took them to number
one butt light had a steel tight grip on that
thing and iron fist on that number one until the
Petros and Money Show started talking about Modelo.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
My upshiackway in Modello embibment has gone through the roof
in the last half decade. I mean I maybe had
had five my whole life and now beer of choice
five every evening.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Our damage and for p we'll get your top story today.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Next, we've made it even easier to take La sports
with you this summer. Make am five to seventy or
your favorite Am five seventy LA Sports Podcast, a preset
on the iHeartRadio app using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Trip All Summer with LA Sports. Hello, you heard the
testimonial from Dave damashek in for Petros about a half
decade ago. He recognized their assent to the number one
slot of the Saturbasa of choice here in the States.
It is a reward for those with a fighting spirit
MODELO the mark of a fighter. The number one beer consumed,

(27:45):
and I'm sure a lot of it was consumed over
this Fourth of July.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Week again, sunny out. I mean, there is there a
more refreshing beer to pass your lips? I say, now
I'm with you, and I'm not ashamed to admit I
like pressing the linemen there. I like the line in
it on a summer day, if I'm drinking a modello
and it's the sun is out. Yeah, So, like you said,
summer months, it's say, you know it's getting on in
the day, it's like ten thirty am. I want a

(28:09):
little line in there. You know I'm gonna I'm gonna
do I'm gonna do a line in there from my
ten thirty eight to four PM window. I'm gonna do
the maturity requires. I think that you understand as a younger,
as younger men money, we both like to, you know,
stay out to the wee hours and maybe see the
sun come up, even to complete a successful night and.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Go down again on times that's it. Why not?

Speaker 3 (28:32):
But now maturity is throwing it on while the sun
is still out and your head hits the pillow as
the sun disappears.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
I live in a day drinking town.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
That's it's to ladies.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
It shuts down by eight. I'm not exaggerating eight, like
nine pm. You're looking for Okay, what's still open? Everything
is closed? It's nine pm on a Friday. What are
we doing? And there's like two.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
If you're living right, there's nothing left to do. You
don't need anything else. Now you've lived that, you're.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Throwing them back. You know, ten hours ago, I've finished
my day. It is complete. We'll get to your weekend though.
How was your weekend? Coming up in the very next segment.
This is something I wanted to get to with you
because you're here top story of it. When players you
hate come to the team you love, and I want

(29:31):
to make sure I qualify this by saying, I think
there's multiple there's multiple ways to hate a player. They've
broken your heart, they're on your arch rival. And there's
the complete a hole. Don't like this guy because of
the way he comports himself and you know just what
your immediate go to is when you hear his or

(29:52):
her name. And then there's the guy that was a
real a hole to your favorite team, like was either
got into a fight with your favorite just every time
you've squared off, it's like, got this guy every time,
Like I think a Manny Machada with the Dodgers. Now,
who's just someone that, by all accounts wonderful guy, you

(30:13):
know when the game's not being played, but when the
game's played, front and center, chirping all the time, bitching
at the umps, getting into it with the pitchers. Just somebody, hey,
and I thought about, you know, like here in town,
the biggest one I feel like we ever had to
deal with was Lebron because it was Kobe versus Lebron

(30:35):
for so many years. Who's the greatest player of this
era of basketball? And yes we can have the Tim
Duncan conversation, I'm fine with it, but just for the
sake of this argument. It was always Kobe versus Lebron,
so Laker fans were f that guy. Yeah, look at them.
He's not willing to take the clutch shot. He's a phony.

(30:57):
Kobe as abrasive as he is. Love him or hey him,
he's authentic, you know, He's an authentic a hole. But
that's what he is, and he's our a hole. And
that's kind of how Laker fans were so when Lebron
got here, and even now eight years on, it's still
a pretty i don't want to say healthy, but a
larger than there should be chunk of Laker fans that

(31:18):
are like, don't care never just not a Lakers. He's
he's not a Laker, you.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
Know, And my head is swimming, you know, immediately I'm
going against what you just said, which is the longtime
Dodger one of the most iconic of them all is
Steve Garvey wearing the uh brown and gold of the Padres,
which always struck me as although they have the little
brother syndrome, so they loved stealing him from the Dodgers,

(31:46):
but still it would be hard to summon actual enthusiasm
to cheer for the guy you hated for so long.
It's the same as you know, Brett Favre going to
the Vikings. How desperate, how pathetic, How.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
A couple hundred miles between stadiums.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Hey tormented you for a decade and a half and
now you hope he's the missing link that get you
the Lombardy. It's that you're that desperate to have it,
that you're willing to trade your soul, your dignity to
get it. Fat No, thank you. I know you were
getting the DeAndre Ayton or something like. I don't think
he's done enough to know deserve.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
It, Like, I mean, even to some degree. We mentioned
Joe Kelly. You know, Joe Kelly broke Hanley Ramirez's rib.
It was a rist or rib. I think it was
a rib, right, Kate, So what was it? Rib rib
broke his rib and derailed the the nl DS. I
think it was against the Cardinals. That yeah, And it's
like and then all of a sudden he shows up
and you're like.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
I don't like this guy, which was Tommy Joie at
the height of their seventies, back and forth. He was
a Yankee and a Dodger. I can't remember if he
went Dodgers to Yanks or vice versa Dodgers to Yanks.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
There you go, huh at the peak of Dodger Yankee,
you know. And and so as we go through it,
there's two of them. Well, there's one in town right
now that I know nobody, and I'll just mention it.
And those that know no f you, Corey Perry. I
don't give a damn if you're wearing that King sweater.
No interest, absolutely no interest. May you decide to retire

(33:15):
before you ever lace up your skates for you? Yeah,
get out on the ice like. That's one where he
was such a colossal a hole And it was great
because that was Pete King's Duck's rivalry when there were fights,
multiple fights in every game. But I remember when Grimson
signed with the Kings and we were talking to le

(33:36):
Periere and the two of them were together and Lappy said,
you know, and Stu I remember he said, no, you know,
you fight on the ice, but you get off the
ice and everything's fine. You understand that it's part of
the game, and everybody's okay. And Lappie's like, bs, you
broke my nose, Like that's why my nose looks like this,

(33:57):
It is because of you. So that was an interesting
one back in the day when the Grim Reaper signed
with the.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
I'll say this about that, I feel like fighting in hockey.
People who longtime hockey enthusiasts mostly will tell you that
they like the fighting in hockey and probably still do.
The reason it's kind of gone away, my hypothesis is,
is that it feels like that curtain has been pulled
back as the Grim Reaper kind of kind of indicated

(34:25):
like it's our job to do it. We have to
fight each other where That's why we're on the team.
That's why we get the swags, no hard feelings, and
once the fan feels that, you lose something, and that's
what free agency has done to sports. I as a
human being, I'm all for you getting to go wherever
you want to go, especially if you're at the at

(34:45):
the highest end of your profession. Why would you be
beholden to, you know, sub human kind of standards of
like because an owner drafted you and sent you there
for your career and that's why you have to play now.
Of course, the trade off is multimillions of dollars. Children's
sport for a keeps slapping you on the back everywhere
you go for the rest of your life. Those are

(35:07):
the upsides to it. But I do think we've lost
something with that, and I do think that same thing.
I'm all for the nil stuff with the college guys
and everything, but you do it makes it a little
harder to sink your teeth into.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Here's the most team, right, here's the most important part
of this, and look for people. Whatever your favorite team
may be, just place that in the team that I'm
going to place for Shack. But I just I can't imagine,
as a man who loves the National Football League as
much as you love the National Football League, the mental

(35:42):
gymnastics you must be doing having to cheer for one
of the most loathsome, least genuine self important, hateable individuals
in the league.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Well, you say, Corey Perry is in l He might
be able to hear you, So too is Aaron Rodgers
in an alib He just had a throwing session with
all his new friends.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
How are you doing with the idea of cheering for
that guy?

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Not well, ideally not well. The Steelers wanted Matthew Stafford, right,
but he was using them. He was just using them.
This is this is the new way.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
I think he may have. I think he may have
wanted them too, but some other things got into his
way and he just had to come back to LA.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
What I wouldn't want is I am not a Minnesota
Vikings fan. I am not an irrelevant fan, a fan
of the irrelevant Tampa Bay Buccaneers who a few years
ago were willing to bring in a mercenary. Sure who before, during,
and after was, is and always will be identified with
another NFL brand. People say, oh, yeah, you would turn

(36:55):
your nose up with Tom Brady coming to Pittsburgh. What
if he had done that in Witsburg instead of in
Tampa Bay. No, thank you, I want no part of that.
If well, you would take ray Lewis at the height
of his talent, If it was, I don't know, not
after a decade of him going against the Steelers. I
am again not in such a potential.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
That's an interesting angle, like nobody will ever associate Tom
Brady with the Buccaneers even though he won a Super
Bowl there.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
What did you get out of it?

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yes, you got a parade with a drunk Tom Brady
and a gronk throwing a trophy back and forth, and
Tom who couldn't handle his tequila, stumbling all over the place.
But as you say, it's a it's an afterwards. It's
not part of the book. It's not even a chapter.
It's the afterward.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Yes, it was about burnishing his legacy and diminishing Bill Belichicks.
And by the way, by the way, he also wanted
to well again think steven Sagall's Above the Law, remake
it with Brady. This cat tries to it deflates football
and has a has a look at the defenses on

(38:03):
video before Super Bowls and everything else. That's not enough
for him, though he tries. He got whatever. He decides
he isn't being celebrated enough by Patriots fans, so he
has to let him all know who the real key
is to the Patriots dynasty. I'm gonna ditch the old man.
I don't know whatever happened to Belichick. By the way,
has he been in the news. I haven't heard much

(38:24):
about him.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
I believe he's enjoying his personal life. I think he's
becoming I think he shifted to being an influence. So
how so so Aaron Rodgers comes, it's a He's always
going to be a packer, even if you win a
Super Bowl, with the Steelers. He's still a packer.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
I don't have you gone out to see Sinners yet. No,
it's all about the vampires in that picture. They don't
just you know, they don't just take your blood.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
It's hard for me to watch a vampire flick because
nothing ever measures up to the Lost Boys. So you know,
it's just it's hard.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Yeah, you like your saxophone players with bony dale and
oiled up muscles.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
That's it, That's exactly right. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
That's a key for Sutherland and the other vampires were into.
Let's go see the saxomophone that play at the big
festival on the beach. Then we'll then we'll suck some blood.
I can almost hum the song that the saxomophone player
plays as he's as he's ripping through his song there
on the beach? Where what beach were they in the

(39:25):
Santa Cruz right, listen like the vampire in Sinners? That
what what what the vampire does is he takes your
your history and can turn it into his own. That's
kind of the theme, and it's it's the message I

(39:46):
suppose is this is what I took from the movie,
is is that black music was largely gentrified by corporate
types and made American and warped ever so slightly. And
we he'd be in a very different place without it.
You'll like it with your Chicago roots and all of that,
the Blues and everything else. That's what Aaron Rodgers does.

(40:08):
He's a team wrecker. He's a killer like he he
He tried his best to destroy the Packers. He tried
to get their brain trust all fired. Right, they wouldn't
do it. No one would ever come to Green Bay
if it weren't for me. It seems like they did
fine once he moved on, though, so that proved to
be a lie. But he tried his best, goes to

(40:29):
the Jets, succeeds in wrecking them, and now the Steelers
won him. How desperate are you make Todd?

Speaker 2 (40:37):
They believe the culture is so strong that his imperial
effects will not will not have a trance, will not
set them into a trance. I mean, that's the idea.
Our culture is too strong. No one's bigger than Mike
Tomlin or the Steelers culture.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
We'll put him in the hill. He'll he'll drive in
his length. No, you won't. He can't help himself.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
And the irony is that this is like Icarus. This
could be I know that. I mean, well, maybe I
assume Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Tolin Gris or the Steelers are Icarus. I think who's
wins or melting Mike Tomlin? Okay, Mike Tomlin is Icarus
in this case. I think that he thinks.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
And by the way, I think the NFL now kind
of regards modern day Mike Tomlin the way Hollywood treats
Robert de Niro in the here and now, which is
he's iconic. He's one of the best there's ever been.
What are you talking about? Just ignore Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Don't count against his his his resume, the intern doesn't count.

(41:35):
Like how many bad ones does he get before you
you start to take him to task a little bit?
If you haven't noticed, been a long time since they've
won a playoff game. We're just riding along with this.
He's an icon, don't you know. He'd be hired in
four minutes if they let him out the door, if
they ever were foolish enough to let him out the door.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
And he had one play and one play only, and
it's your favorite, tam if you'll be cheering him. Comes Sunday,
September seventh, when you'll get a little warm, You'll get
a little warm, fuzzy in your body. You'll be like,
how about that? Look at Aaron Rodgers jogging out in
that silver, in that black and yellow.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
You and I obviously have known each other a long time.
And you know in twenty ten October of twenty ten,
several months before he vanquished the aforementioned Pittsburgh Steelers in
Super Bowl forty five, I declared, not once, many times
in public forums, when it's all done, greatest quarterback of

(42:33):
all time will be that guy right there. And he
was on track to do it. He didn't win enough
to get there. That doesn't mean that in the twilight
of his career, as he tries to do like Brady
and burnish his career right the ship before he walks
off it sails off into the sunset, or ascends to
the heavens, which he probably is gonna do, or moves
to Egypt, or I don't know what he's going to

(42:54):
do with himself upon retirement. By the way, I don't
know if you heard. He's very private. He doesn't like
people talking about it. Yet he also made a documentary
and he tried to host Jeopardy, but he doesn't like attention.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Everybody. I want to get into the public forum, be
a vice president's private may Well, good luck with that.
We got How was your weekend next? He's Timothy Dalton.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
James Bond doesn't mean I have to hate James Bond, right,
I don't have to like the Timothy Dalton year Lights.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
The hardcore Exactly podcast, Yes, exactly a little little meba
gets me going very cool. Where was I? Oh, it's
how was your weekend?

Speaker 3 (44:39):
I'm gonna do what I do. The weekend is mine.
So how was your weekend?

Speaker 2 (44:45):
Holiday weekend? Dave? How was it?

Speaker 3 (44:47):
It was plumb glorious, despite it including an eleven and
a half hour journey across America from the East Coast
to the West coast. The week prior I spent with
with old mo damashek my mother, the matriarch. She pulled
her greatest dream, which I didn't understand until maybe fifteen

(45:09):
years ago. As a parent, I'm sure you understand this
now too, as your girls have gone off into the
world and made a little bit of noise. It's great
when they when they get better everybody and you get
them all together. That's always the goal. You always hear
parents and moms talk about especially I like them all together.
What do you care you see them one by one?
What's the difference? I like them all together because I

(45:29):
want them to know each other. Becomes important to sort
of that that becomes I think what you look to
grim as it is that like when I leave, are
they still going to stay together? And you want to
help forge that and strengthen that. So anyway we did.
A whole point is it cares about the wax and

(45:49):
crap of that we froliced in the sea for all,
not just a day, but for all whole week beautiful,
and we ate and we ate and we ate some more.
She crab soup and scrimps and crabs and all the
just you know, delicious, all the fish you like to eat.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
And now you have the gout.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
But I'm trying to make it a nice story. I
have taken many baths, as you know, you're a bath
man in the Pacific Ocean. I don't you know. I
don't use the sea to just wash off the day soils, though,
I've always found something magical and medicinal about the Pacific Ocean.

(46:32):
You know, you know it because when you get into it,
no matter how frigid it is, in seven to nine
seconds your body has melded at the exact same temperature
as the seas, and then comfort you're free to enjoy
it for the next two to six hours. If you wish,
I hadn't been in the Atlantic once in this millennium.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
It's a tub of pea.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
I resolved that though I took my bath. It doesn't
just wash off the day's soils. It washes off all
of societ ills.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
The Atlantic, well, not as much.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
I had to study it, and I was asked by
inquiring minds around me, which do you prefer. Ultimately, the
Atlantic is superior in it. It is warmer, and so
you just run right in. You don't have those. You
know that it's too warm. It's a little bit too warm.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Yeah, it's too warm.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
That's ultimately two warm.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
I don't want my water too warm.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
The downside of the Pacific, aside from the aforementioned chill,
is the riptides. They're way more riptide. There's more riptide danger,
it seems to me than the Atlantic. Otherwise, though, you.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Get jellyfish out in the Atlantic as well, and those
are really up good.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
I have been fed up, you know. Maybe my most
noble heroic deed of my lifetime when I was a
little boy eight years old and sister Debbie seven behind me.
We were in the sea the Atlantic, in the Atlantic,
playing and I was on a raft that day, and
all of a sudden she started screaming. She's like, they're jellyfish,
they're jellyfish in the water, and She jumped up onto

(48:00):
the raft and I heroically told her while I was
been three times by.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Jelly you got stung three times three times? That's pain.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
And then I peede on my No, I didn't do that.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
You're supposed to, but it's it's just warm water.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
Yeah, need more, but yeah, they have the jelly fish.
I guess we have more shows you at the sting Race.
Bottom line, the Pacific remains the most magical remedy for
all of society's ills. Either way, I'm clean and excited
to be here with you on.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
This Monday, beautiful. How was your weekend?

Speaker 5 (48:30):
Check Kates had a great weekend, worked most of it
because of the Dodgers, which was well, not so good
because they got swept by the Houston Astros. But on
fourth of July we did go out to the Dodger
game and had a fun time out there. And I'm
embarrassed to say that for the first time ever, we
went to the gold Glove Bar in left field underneath
the left field pavilion. Okay, Matt, as many times as
we've been out there doing the show, I've never been there.

(48:51):
I haven't even been there either. It just opened like
a year or two ago in the renovations to the
centerfield Plaza area. It's where the old bathrooms were that
you guys used to go to the bathroom. Yeah, when
you're doing the show from left field in the bullpen.
I liked it because it had the trough the longest.
I used to like to pee in the trough. The
bullpens are gone and or the bathrooms just gise me,
were gone. And now it is a gold glove bar
with like screens that have the gambling odds in there.

(49:14):
They got the game on in there, they got all
the different events that are happening hockey games every day.
It's a full on sports bar in there, and it's
really cool.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Where you were sitting in the pavilion, No.

Speaker 5 (49:24):
No, we were sitting down the right field line and
it started to turn into a blowout in the sixth
inning on Friday, so we said, hey, let's go walk
around the stadium centerfield Plaza. We got to left field
and we saw this bar and said can we go
in there? And they said yeah, gohea, if you can
find a table, go ahead. We found a table right
next to the window for the Dodgers' bullpen. So we sat,
I watched Anthony Bondo one warm up in the seventh
in which.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
They loved it.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
I don't get this Bonda guy like, you don't get it.
Look at him. I'm like, I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
You don't get it what they do.

Speaker 3 (49:53):
So that was my weekend. Ronnie, Uh so what about Ben?

Speaker 2 (49:57):
We're gonna do Ben last, Ben.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
Last, Fossio Stalin.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Well done, Ronnie, Well you know what. Ben always goes first.
I appreciate it, Ronnie.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
Fourth of July, had some people over, had some hot dogs,
played some volleyball, had a good Fourth of July. And
then on Saturday I went to the Hollywood Bowl to
see Jaws, where they had the live orchestra playing along
with the movie.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Very cool? Would you go with to that? My family?

Speaker 1 (50:23):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (50:23):
Nice? And then when you're playing volleyball? How serious do
you take it? Very serious? Okay? Thank you? Ben? Did
you win every game you played? Unfortunately?

Speaker 4 (50:35):
Not?

Speaker 2 (50:35):
And I got very mad at the last game. Why
is that? Because I lost? Was there anything you did?
Was it a teammate? Did you bark at your teammate
for blowing the game?

Speaker 1 (50:44):
No?

Speaker 4 (50:44):
It was mostly my fault.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
Okay, Ben, do your fresh eyes enjoyed Jaws? Was that
a first time viewing.

Speaker 4 (50:51):
No, I've seen it before, but honestly, I forgot most
of it, but it was a very enjoyable experience.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
I got bad news for me and my We are
now both older than Jaws. That's true, than Rob Well,
but we're also older than Robert Shaw aka quint was
when he made that movie. Think about how old he
is when he gets sucked up by Jaws. A Dan,
we're older than that.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Man.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
Oh, We've taken care of our bodies, so we don't
look like that at this age.

Speaker 9 (51:23):
Roddy guys had a great Fourth of July weekend.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
UH had to start.

Speaker 9 (51:27):
Off the Fourth of July the right way by watching
the Women's and men's Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest that
featured the triumphant return of the weird and wonderful Joey Chestnut.
He is back, indeed, and he UH is the victor
once again of the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. My
sons and their fiances were over during the day and

(51:48):
we spent a lot of time in the pool with
plenty of music and food and adult beverages to go
around for everybody. In the evening, we stayed indoors with
the windows closed to block out the loud booms to
predict the dogs fireworks are going. I feel like the
fireworks have been going off in the San Fernando Valley
for the like the last month and a half.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Still going, still.

Speaker 9 (52:06):
Going, yeah, still going, really strong.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
And two o'clock in the morning, by the way.

Speaker 9 (52:10):
Yeah, well he's thirty three o'clock in the morning indeed, indeed.
So we stayed indoors, taking care of the dogs, gave
the dogs a little little doggie treat to help calm
their nerves. And then Saturday, yeah yeah, right, manummy, thanks Matt. Saturday,
we went to the Dodger game. Hopefully they were. They

(52:30):
were out to win on Saturday, which wasn't the case,
especially after Friday's horrific loss. And you know, it started
off okay initially with the show hey looking good on
the mound, but unfortunately didn't work out for the Dodgers.
Saturday night, we ordered food and watched a movie at
on Amazon Prime called Broke, about a rodeo cowboy looking

(52:51):
to hold on riding but battles his own demons along
the way. Stars whyet Russell, Son of Curtain Goldie, and
Dennis Quaid who plays the dad. Pretty good movie Sunday,
slipped in, got caught up with domestic chores, and lounged
around the house all day. That was pretty much my weekend.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
Beautiful Matt, you know what, not a lot surfed a lot.
And I guess I'll just add to Ronnie's my friend
the Cunninghams. They host the hot Dog eating contest every year,
so you know, beers start popping open at eight thirty am,
and it can lead to a very long Fourth of
July day for the folks that liked to imbibe a

(53:28):
little too early. The only thing I'll add is I
have degenerate gamblers for friends. They gamble on everything, which
means they gamble on the hot dog eating contest. And
if you want to talk about Vegas knowing something, the
over under on Joey Chestnut hot Dogs consumed was seventy
and a half. Wow, he ate seventy and a half

(53:53):
hot dog. So we had half the people freaking out
because originally it was seventy, and we had the people
that took the under all pissed off, and we had
the people who took the overall happy. And then they
come back at seventy and a half and everybody pushes
and they were all infuriated.

Speaker 3 (54:06):
So not a point shaving scandal potentially, but a weener
shaving scandal.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
I mean, just of all the no, I think it
just ended up there, but they were like, all right,
his record seventy six. You say, if you point.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
Shave in a weeder eating contest, is it considered a circumcision?
Is that how you refer to it?

Speaker 2 (54:24):
That's well done?

Speaker 3 (54:25):
Why doesn't Joey Chestnut I've encouraged him. I've had the
occasion of speaking with him a number of times over
the years, and every time I say, I know you're
already doing well, but if you really want to spook
your foes, order a shake, sit down, and just like
and some gravy fries. I'm not just here to survive.
I'm here to enjoy the experience, right.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
I always wonder you're twenty five up, man, why are
you not stopping with three minutes left? And just why.

Speaker 3 (54:55):
NFL guys will like slow down as they get to
the goal line. Can you catch me? Can you cat
what you mean?

Speaker 2 (55:00):
That would add to the exactly we're going to pull
you for the fourth quarter? Grab a chair and watch
and see who finished.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
How about Matt money Smith? Like Bo Jackson, except instead
of baseball and football, Matt money Smith goes from high
end golfing as a sol cow guy to a surfer.
Has that ever happened in the history of people until
Matt money Smith. A guy transitions from being a great
golfer and a great surfer.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
He goes from being.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
A single digit golfer pretty.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
Low average golfer to a below average surfer.

Speaker 3 (55:30):
Now the modesty, that's the other sports full modesty

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Word number song, oh man, we went late, but hey
worth every second
