Speaker 2 (04:14):
Romy Why are you giving it away? What am I

you gonna do it that you give it to fully
functional employee? Adam, you say, hey, here, I'm leaning in

No, there, congratulations, Adam. Right, there's an extra Matt money
Smith King's hockey bobblehead still bobbles that we found are two.

the interim program director. Last year, Matt gave his to
(04:58):
the front desk, but we got it, and then mine
is there. One says money, one says pee, you're the best. Yeah,
it says you're the best. So those are a couple
special awards.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You're gonna give away your raqbar mass.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I am giving away the Admiral Lackbar Mass because I
can't possibly fathom ever putting it on again.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It's a trap. It is a trap. I can fathom
you putting it on it.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Guys, I've got something as well.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
What do you got there?
Speaker 5 (05:23):
You know, I was cleaning out the e Fossio compound
a couple of weeks back, and I stumbled across a
companion piece to Matt's King's bubblehead.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
What have we got right?
Speaker 5 (05:33):
The Joe Grande bobblehead? Should you so choose to give
that away? It's right here in the control room.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I don't want to want up you, so I'm not
gonna say what the number one prize to give away
is yet. But we do have a shaquill O Neo
bobblehead in which he is extremely black. Looks good, you know,
because you don't want him to fade out.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Remember when you know the the Elton brand from Carls
Junior turned green that this is this is not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
No to that Shack O'Neil. That's a good one. Wow.
Then we have Kenley Jansen, the product cure us out.
That is a shaquill O'Neill legend of the court. We
should actually check this thing, Matt. It's about giving them.
It's it's a limited edition five hundred and six of
two thousand and four.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
We'll look it up during the breaking Matt Petros. We've
also got another bobblehead. It's a it's a special edition.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Cliff Paul bobblehead. Oh like the the State Far Yeah,
the State Far Paul. That's cool.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
We got a Kenlee Janssen bobblehead that Vassid doesn't want
anymore because he's an angel.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
This should have signed him.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
We've got a pile of Charger stuff, including a Justin
Herbert jersey. We've got an h K Alta Loma button
down that's embroidered in the back like a Tom Bahama shirt.
And the number one prize that we are giving away.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Matt. You're really gonna do it. We're really gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
If the Joe Grandez bablehand would be number one that
Ronnie brought up.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Instead, we have what well sad NFL Replays Series three
from the NFL Players Association. It's an action figure. It
is an action figure, bendable arms, legs and turns and
everything comes with a stand that's basically some football turf
(07:40):
and you can plant the number seven in whatever action
post you want. Is the black Matt Liner action figure.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Matt Liner is h He is a black dude. They
made him a black guy and they made him a
black dude. It's an accident, it's a misprint or what ever.
And I don't know what it's worth. U.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
The Shaquille O'Neal I have found online is anywhere from
one hundred and fifty to two hundred and ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Dollars, so we can give it away. That's a little
high for your uncle anny, right. I'd like to take
that money and buy some pizzas for all of us.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Not a bad idea, but can we sell it on
Tim Kates's eBay? Gun girl, maw this one here seven
four to one, Ohio. Pass it up for one hundred
and fifty dollars, buy it now.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I didn't know when I grabbed that shack thing. I
didn't know Matt, but just when I looked at the
bottom of what just like black Matt Liner. We're gonna
have to give it away through the raffle. You can't
just walk up and snatch at it right right. And
the reason you're hearing the Filipino DJ music is because
Matt and I are headed back to our favorite city,
(08:51):
our favorite mayor.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
I my name is Frank Aurelio Yokoyama, and I am
honored to be the mayor of my hometown of the

We're honored to hold this proclamation that was not just
signed by Frank Arelio Yokoyama, it was signed by Mayor
pro Tem Linda P. J. Johnson. I like her.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
She came to see us once. That's how you gotta roll.
You gotta roll with your mayor pro tem has got
to be right on your side, your wing man. You
got to be able to trust that mayor pro tem.
Watching a lot of these city council meetings and stuff,
I'm starting to realize if your pro tam is not
pro temming for your mayor oralship, then you got a
real problem.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Council Member Jennifer Hong, who has a very Ronnie Fossio
like sign, it's your beautiful pat on Jenny Hong. Council

Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's gonna be a four hour show. Big charger giveaway action.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, we got all this stuff here. What do we got?
We are justin Herbert Jersey. We got to charge your
jerseys to Hello jerseys beautiful. So what do you say, Kate's,
will you be able to haul all this stuff?
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I'll send it down to you guys in Serritos.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
What Kate's not coming?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Come on, Kate, you got to set it up.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
I got that swap meat style.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You've got to set up that style. Yeah, coursing through
your veins.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Dude, you're talking about going to West Covina. Man, we're
talking about going to Sorito's. Man, that's our town for
our show, Kate's, that's our town. I did look up
the Matt Liner or excuse me, black Matt Lionert.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Is that how it is? Is that how it's described
on eBay?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Or no?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
No, it's just referred to as Matt Lionert Series three
replay action figure anywhere between twenty five to forty one dollars.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
They're still in it town. Let me suggest this, Kate's.
As you're the only one here with an eBay account,
why don't you post it and put black Matt Liner ooh,
and let's see if people like what. Well, then they
look at it and they're like, whoa there?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
I mean, the four of them that I'm looking at
on eBay is there's four of them plus one in Australia.
That's a pretty dark hue of Matt Liner. It looks
like they're.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
All see black. But that's the thing that it's bad
advertising by those people that are selling it. Yeah, because
it would be a lot easier to sell black matt Liner.
Like if I'm shopping for the series three replays, I
don't care about Matt Liner in a Cardinals uniform if
you say it's black matt Liner.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Though, if matt Liner was black, I'd probably be convincible
about usc Notre Dame being put to an end. Yeah,
because black matt Liner said it was okay. But white
Matt Liner, I'm not taking it. I'm not taking it.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Not into you, White Matt Liner.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
You know, I could kind of see the angle.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
You know, it's not fair. The rest of the Big
tenure Matt Rush of the Big Ten isn't playing an
opponent like that, so they're not Penn State's not playing
Ohio State in October.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I always thought Ohio you know, Ohio State's not playing well.
I thought Ohio State opened up that last season went
that Texas.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Seemed like it. Anyway, we got a lot of price.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Is the giveaway we're going to be live at the
BJ's restaurant in brew House to watch the college football
playoff with the people at three o'clock ending at seven
at our favorite BJ's. I think it goes without saying
our favorite Bjys in the beautiful, very innovative. They got
the mall parking oh Titanium City of Surreto.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Right off the six oh five at South and listen,
like we've said, when you're done there, why not give
a run over there to sax Off Fifth or Nordstrom
Rack or the Guitar Center. There's a lot of different
things to buy yourself something. Right off the six oh five.
You could either hop under the freeway too and head
to the Soritos Auto Square. You could do that. Where
(13:45):
anything's possible. There's an unbelievable just ask Verne. I believe.
I believe they have one of the very few smart
car dealerships on the corner. Have you heard about this
new job opportunity in Waymo areas? No, have you heard
about this?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
There's a new job opportunity because people are that lazy
in the world. Apparently these Waymos, these people leave their
ride and they don't close the door all the way,
or the seat belt gets caught and the door's not
closed all the way can't go. If the door's not
closed all the way, Weamo won't go. So then Waimo
just sits there. So if you live in one of
these areas where Weaymo is around, it's like having a beeper.
(14:22):
Your keeper goes off and you got to run up
to the Waymo and close the door. They they can't
get like a suction like inside the Waymo to close it.
They can just so that's like the society.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Get like that robot that kick that dude in the
balls the other day, to run one of those delivery robots,
oh yeah, to bunk into it that runs into lines
people in wheelchairs, knocks over Harley Davidson's on the sidewalk
to deliver somebody's yoshinoya. What do you do for a living?
I closed doors on Waymo's.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
It's a lot of money. Okay, there's a lot of
people that are gay. All right, I'm not, but there's
a lot of people that are.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
According to the Washington Post, people in Los Angeles could
apply for this job. Pay you twenty dollars a pop
for every.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Gig you You could listen to the Petrols and Money
Show on the iHeartRadio app all day making twenty hours.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, twenty dollars a pop. Yeah, I'm not gay, so
just it's a lot of people who are you.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Know, you work twenty hours twenty dollars a pop. Listen
to Great Sports Talk three or four times over and
on the beach Man have at the time of your life,
you're like Chevy Chase and Fletch popping door and then
you could run a scam. You know, you get like
one guy on one end that gives the person like
two bucks.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Hey, do me a favor. When you're finished for your ride,
leave that door open for me. Don't close that door open.
I think you get paid either way, whether you close
doors or not. You're on call, but you know what
I mean, like get people to leave the door open intentionally,
so you could you get more doors to pop. Do
they pay you per door? I think they pay you
per hour. Oh per door? They said per door.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
It's twenty dollars to fix each problem.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, twenty bucks to fix a problem. So you've got
to run the scam of getting one guy on the
front end. Hey, where you going? Leave that door.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Neighborhood of especially lazy people to make your money closing
doors in Weymo, because if people are responsible, then you're
not getting paid. So you want to be like a
drunk area where people are getting dropped off and falling
off car al drunk.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
What if it's like that, Uh, it's like a pyramid scam.
It's like Mona V. Right, the shot of a sigh
you take every day and it cleans out you're inside.
Somebody remembers the Mona V. Period. What if we create
a network pe where we have tentacles all throughout the
city west Side. You're in Westwood, you're in Santa Monica,
you're in Hawaiian Gardens. I got you here in Baldwin
(16:37):
and then you just buzz your guy, Hey, I got
a WAYMO coming. They're gonna leave the door open their
arrival addresses right here. You give the passenger five bucks,
you pocket fifteen every time the person that pops the
door gets ten. We pocket five for running the network.
But I have to like stay ahead of where everybody's going. Yeah,
it feels like i'd have to do. There's a on
(16:59):
top of this thing. Man.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Apparently you sign up and there's an app called Honk,
which towing companies use, and you'll be notified if there's
an issue around you, and you can get paid between
twenty to twenty four dollars twenty four per case. And
according to somebody interviewed by The Washington Post, a towing
company guy, he said this happens between three and five
times a week that he gets called to free up
(17:23):
a it's only like seventy.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Bucks, seventy five bucks. That's just him, though, that's not
enough for you to run a scam.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
That's just him.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
And he says most of the time it's the rear
seatbelt getting caught and the door cannot close regularly.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Where you slam the door onto the seatbelt, and well cash,
well food for thought.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
You know, if you're listening to great sports talk and
you don't have a lot of prospects, yeah, and you're like, gosh,
what am I going to do in twenty twenty six?
I feel that way all the time. Then you might
want to call WAMO and get one of those door
closing So what's great about caves? You know the cab
he's just got a cigarette in his mouth and he's
just gonna unbuckle his seatbelt, lean in that back seat
and pull that door close and keep You.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Could even get out and close. Good.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Here's the other issue. Apparently, because there's no driver, a
lot of people who take waymos are more likely just
to get out in the middle of an intersection. If traffic.
They won't wait it out, so they just say, screw this,
there's no driver here to tell me what to do.
I'm just gonna get out of the car and leave. Yeah,
they just jump out right. Yeah, Well, if it sucks,
I'm out of here.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Let's say we're downtown and the Weaimo there's like a
protest or something, and the Waimo door that I shut
is also on fire. Do I get extra for that?
Do I get forty for that? If I closed it
it was on fire, or maybe even put out the fire.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I think there's room to negotiating.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I mean, I think, why is the door on fire? Again?
Speaker 3 (18:37):
There's a protest fire at the protest and they burned
down like twentys just to full on multied cocktail. That's
thes are the first, They're the most they are the
most defenseless things in a downtown protest. We've learned in
the last years to be cop cars. It used to
be cop cars, but now it's the Weaimo that wears
it even harder, so.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
That we have technology for a RIVALUS car, but not
a button to just close it door with a hinge
on there.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Or something or just yeah, automatically, Hey, when you exit
the Weaimo, leave the door open, and then it has
like a little mechanized we can pull the seat belt
back in and close the door automatically. I don't know, man,
I just saw that robot that was like mimicking the
guy doing tichie and it Kickdom square in the balls,
and that got me excited about the future of robots.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah, I think these robots are going to carve us
all up eventually, like that robot in the black Hole
with the propeller thing in Maximilian Shell. So there's a
little Waimo news for everybody out there.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I asked Matt a football question, speaking of technology, Matt,
where we supposed to have a new way to measure
first downs?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
We do have the eagle eyed system.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
I mean, how many times are you guys using it
a Charger game this year?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I think we used it twice. Really, it was incredibly
awkward because they didn't put it on the screen, and
they were just standing there looking at each other, and
we're like, a.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Mechanical bird comes down and snatches the ball right, swallows
the ball and then and then processes that.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
It looks like lays an egg. It poops it out
right where it's supposed to go.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I don't think they used it one time in a
raider game. I know they had trouble moving the ball.
I get it. The offense wasn't really.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
There, but the first downs out there, right, But hey,
if we had that eagle, we would have had at
least three or four more first down.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It happened twice in a Raider game, and it was
very awkward and took far too long. Yeah, the eagle
comes down, it swallows, swallows the ball, poops it out.
Noah Eagle puts on his freshest shoes. All right, now,
you've wrecked it all with the Noah Eagle case. Destroyed everything.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Sweet haircut, little his little tiny shoes. Okay, we all
love Noah Eagle, but he spray paints his head on.
I don't know what he's doing with his hairline. It's
got to stop. It's got to stop. I haven't noticed oh, Matt,
I'll show you. Indeed, it is Christmas Day on Netflix.
The one the one thing that I have noticed though,
speaking of my radio partner, is his hair is still.
(20:56):
He is flapping his Big Wave Dave hair almost as
an affront to God. At this point it might as
well be as a face tax I.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Did have someone call me thanks to you, Big Wave
Dave the other night when I was out, the hair
was peeking out of the That's.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
The Chargers Instagram and I was like, good lord, I mean,
look at that. Is that Burkhart need nor sure desperately.
I mean it's an unbelievable starship enterprise like Flume coming
out now.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I only make boards one way, burked the right way,
the right way.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
We'll have the top story of the day coming up next.
We have, as Ronnie said, a Joe Grande bobblehead.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
We have your buffalo trace napkin and what goes in
there like toothpicks and cocktail mixers and stuff. And that
ball that that bowl has got some gigantic testicles. I
mean massive testicles. Beautiful. Oh I thought those were just
the eyes on the hack bar thing.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
But those balls.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Welcome to twenty twenty six, everybody same. Oh, great sports talk,

Speaker 4 (22:05):

Oh?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yeah, got a lot going on a lot, but right
now it's time for the top story of the day.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
We got football, we got playoffs, and just to prep
us for this top story, pl have you know the
window that is currently open on my computer is set
to punt Aalytics and according to Puntalytics, the Chargers JK. Scott.
It's crazy. I have that window open too. I didn't.
What's up? What are the chances? Well, the EPA on JK.
(23:32):
Scott is at point zero zero five expected points added
per punt New England a minus point zero zero five
expected points at it. Talk about swinging a game in
your favor, that's swinging from the knees. I am very
excited about that. Your top story, pe. The playoffs have arrived.
(23:56):
The Chargers are in the playoffs. The Rams are in
the playoffs. Doubt that we'd have Jim Harbaugh on if
the Chargers missed the playoffs. I believe you are correct,
but he will come on and celebrate what has been
a trying year, a year filled with adversity, with attrition,
and man, it's going to look different this year. No
Lamar Jackson. Thanks to a kicker named Luke and a
(24:19):
Catholic priest in the Pittsburgh area that sprinkled some holy
water in the end zone in which the upright stood
that mister Luke pushed a kick that faded to the right.
We have no Patrick Mahomes. Even though they made a
sequel on the Hallmark Channel to they wildly to the
wildly unsuccessful first installment of Touchdown Hometown Holiday bogis.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I think that's what it was called.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Which one, the Buffalo one, the the Chiefs one. The
original did not do well. Holiday Touchdown Touchdown was terrible,
Matt it didn't great, giganic failure.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I don't know about the Bills one, and it led
to them missing the playoffs. There is no Patrick Mahomes
this year.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
The Bills makes the playoffs. They did Josh Allen, so
we can expect them not to make the playoffs next year.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Exactly. Okay, Josh Allen comes in as the sixth seed.
He will have to win at least two road games
to get to the Super Bowl. How could he play
a home game? Well, AFC Championship against the Chargers. That's
how the Chargers are the seventh seed. They were fine
with that. Clearly they played it that way.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
No one.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
A win would put them in the sixth slot based
on how the game turned out. A win over the
Broncos would send Denver, sliding to the three and set
them up for a rematch at Mile High on the
wild card round lose fall to the seven, and a
date with the worst to first New England Patriots. The
Chargers played their penultimate regular season game in Foxborough last
season Week seventeen. Cold freezing rain hammered Drake may and
(25:46):
the Patriots forty to seven last year. Last year likely
the performance that got their head coach Jared Mayo fired
one and done only to hire Mike Rabel, who led
them to fourteen wins after a four win season, which
obviously is an incredible accomplishment. They may have the league MVP.
All of the folks with the Rams are pushing the
(26:08):
idea that Matthew Stafford should get it as a career achievement,
as a thanks for your service Matthew type of award,
as opposed to a guy that's just in his second season.
He did that to make sure that he made one
last push against a turd opponent. We'll get more into
that in a minute, but depending on what advanced metrics
you want to follow, the Patriots are ahead of the
Chargers in total DVA nine to seventeen offensive EPA. The
(26:32):
Patriots trailed only the Rams in the regular season. The
Chargers twenty first overall, but defensively, Chargers are ahead of
the Patriots eight to nine against the run, Chargers second
in the league, Patriots eleventh, and with a healthy Amarion
Hampton versus Treveon Henderson in New England, the rookie running
backs could have a lot to say about who will
get out with a win in this wild card Sunday
night Prime Time showdown. The forecast says high twenties to
(26:56):
low thirties. I don't know if that's football weather, if
that's a little bit bold. Oh, football weather seems like
it's a little bit colder than what I would consider
football weather. Well, what what would be the correct I
always feel like no one, I mean, people just say
football we feel.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Like November when it's in the forties. They're like, oh,
we finally got football weather. Guys, they play football in
most every kind of weather. All weather is football weather.
This to me feels like it's colder than Hey, guys,
we got football weather here on its face. LA team
going all the way back east. Cold weather not usually
(27:31):
a recipe for success. No, or I'll play a game.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Differently now, I've played this game a little bit different
than you might and a don't you have a good
coaching matchup? A great storyline word was Mike Rabel really
wanted the Chargers gig after he was fired in Tennessee,
and the Chargers were quite smitten with Mike Rabel as
well until Jim Harbaugh became available. Coming off the National
Championship obviously rocketed to the top of their list. It
(27:56):
has worked out incredibly for the Chargers, back to back
eleven win seasons for the first time since two thousand
and six and seven. They seek their first appearance in
the Championship game since that same two thousand and seven,
when Philip Rivers courageously played it against the Patriots on
a torn acl with Ladany and Tomlinson out, who was
dealing with his own knee injury. It has been that long,
(28:18):
and while they lost that game in Denver yesterday nineteen
to three. A defense without Khalil Mack two Leaf Twoy
Pulo two, Dyon Henley, Denzel, Perriman, Derwin, James, Elijah Molden
from the jump. Six of their eleven starters did not play.
Two Pro bowlers in there. A unit with a Ton
of backups, including first games by rookies Kyle Canard and
Marlowe wax. That's a real canard. That is a real
(28:40):
canard that Kyle Canard marlow Waxed, the undrafted free agent
out of Syracuse lay very good football. So of course
they held the Broncos for all intents and purposes to
two field goals. The other thirteen points came on a
pick six, a strip sack at the Chargers twenty that
an offensive drive gave him all of negative two yards
and a field goal, and a turnover on downs shy
of midfield that led to another field What does that
(29:00):
tell you, Matt, It tells me that they planted seeds
of doubt into the brains of the number one seed.
Should the Chargers knock off New England and show up
at Mile High with a defense fortified with the aforementioned
group who were absent, along with Justin Herbert under center
instead of Trey Lance and amari On Hampton behind him,
they had Justin Herbert. They win that game. No doubt
(29:21):
go down my mind.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
Doubt.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
There is no powerhouse in the AFC bracket, is what
we're getting to. There is no clear dominant team. You'd
probably be less surprised if every wildcard team won. The Chargers, Bills,
and Texans. Heck, the Bills and Texans are favored in
their games against Jacksonville and Pittsburgh respectively. Then were the Patriots, Jaguars,
and Steelers. Well, the last two years, right, the Chargers
(29:46):
got beat in the first round. Last year they got
beat by the Texans.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
And the year before it was Jacksonville where you went
and visited there. Yeah, two years pro where you visited
the Dinosaur. Yes, the Texans. I visited a fountain that
was closed for renovation.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
You fail in your I failed. You sent me to
a and it was historically cold, and.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
You skipped like three of the obstacles. You you failed,
and that's probably why they lost that game.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
But they do have that.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
They did do the Baltimore Uh that year they won.
That was that was very well and that took me
to New England. Yeah, that was very very many years ago, Matt.
And you've lost your luster for obstruction, I'm going back
to Boston, you are, and I lost my leg. It
would be a surprising thing to go out and win
in Boston, right.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
For the Charge.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Oh yeah, I mean it's three and a half points,
so you know you're supposed to get a field goal
as a home team. They got the Pats PLU minus
three and a half. However, did the Pats have like
the best pass rush in the NFL. That is why
it lines up of all the opponents, it's a it's
a good it's a really good group. In the AFC
playoff Brack.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
You don't want a great pass rusher use likely he
will live the entire game inside justin Herbert's girdle.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
It is the least formidable pass rush of all the teams,
including the Chargers with Tuley and Khalilia. Do not have
a single most modestly priced earn. They do not have
a double digit sacker. Their leading sacker is the journeyman
Kay Levon chas On, very popular name in certain parts
of the country, Apostrophe Levon. They have Harold Landry, they
(31:16):
have Christian Barmore and a gentleman by the name of
Milton in the middle of their defensive line, John Milton,
who Paradise lost Milton Williams. John Milton was blind. How's
it gonnaarrest the past?
Speaker 7 (31:26):
All?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
He feels it out? You know his other senses are heightened.
When you lose your sight, everything else increases. You can
feel where everybody is. That's an epic poem. The Patriots
are currently plus one thousand to win the Super Bowl.
That is fifth lowest odds. The Chargers are plus three thousand,
twelve out of the fourteen teams and six in the AFC. Well,
(31:49):
I guess the futures suggest that they don't believe in
these Chargers, or that perhaps because of last year in
chaos could be or could be that they're the seventh
seed and will have to win three games on the road,
and they don't have their tackles, either of them, but
they might have their backup to the backup. Now we're talking. Now.
You got Jamari Sawyer out there at left tackle after
(32:10):
taking two weeks off, Trey Pickens at the right. That's
a horse of a different colin. Trevor Penning has removed
tight end at six six three forty. What are we doing? Pee?
They had those guys, they would have beat Denver about
twenty one points. The Chargers were five and three away
from home. They beat the Chiefs twice on the road.
The Patriots had three losses on the season. They're fourteen
to three. All of them came at home. They blew
(32:31):
one to Buffalo right Blue one to Buffalo at home.
A couple weeks back a playoff team, Blue one to
the Pittsburgh slowed out. They got blown out by the
Steelers at home, a playoff team, and their third loss
came Week one against the Raiders. They only beat one
playoff team, Pee and that was the split they got
with the Bills. Other than that, their schedule, the way
it laid out, was so light it was actually the
(32:52):
easiest schedule in the league this season. That they only
have notched one single win against a playoff team and
they're split against the Bills. O line versus Oline. Herbert
is the most pressured, most hit, most sack quarterback in
the league. Guess who's the second most hit pressured sack
quarterback in the league, Drake may fair fight. They got
(33:14):
a fair fight. He was legal. It was legal. We
got a fair fight.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Well, Matt, you have convinced me that the Chargers got
a chance. They are in the cat bird seed to
win this whole thing. They got a chance win this
go to Denver. You've planted seeds of doubt. Knock off
bo Nicks, who does not look I'm sorry, you just
I just I can't help myself.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
You see nicks I don't like. These are teams that
won a whole bunch of games. They did fourteen wins
a piece. The Broncos. You would have to take down
a combined twenty eight and six record to make it
to the AFC Championship. And I believe that it is
possible with the way this thing lays out and everybody
being healthy, getting their rest and getting into the tournament.
(33:56):
Is Herbert still have a prosthetic arm? He is still
Luke Skywalker Circa Empire, Return of the Jedi, still a
prosthetic arm. Yes, I believe so. But that prosthetic arm
got a week off impressive. Yes, so you're able to
kind of buff out the nicks and the scrapes and
repaint it and you can get it out there, get
that grip going, make some things happen. Omrio On Hampton
(34:17):
with a week off, good looking young back, Jamari Sawyer
with a week off, Quentin Johnston, Lad McConkey all weeks off,
Khalil Mack, Derwin James all got to take a bye.
Somebody told me in my ear, I'm not going to
say who that maybe there should be some concerns regarding Dicker,
the kicker, going out there in the cold, not playing well,
(34:40):
missing some kicks. He is the most accurate kicker in
NFL history. Did he have a bad game against the Texans? Yeah,
You're only as good as your last kick, you know,
well he did. He did make that. You're at that
thirty yarder in Denver, your last playoff kick?
Speaker 4 (34:55):
What happened week seventeen, Matt, Well, listen, it happens to everybody.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
He missed his first ever feel goal inside of forty
yard Yeah, case, and he's first extra point a year
and they lost a game by four.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Matt's gonna fight for these guys. Okay, always, you better
come with something else. You better come with something better
than the greatest kicker in the NFL history missed it
kicked in a game that didn't matter because Bonix.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Sucks, right, stink bonnicks your garbage. Uh, double middle fingers
to the NFL. The Rams are twelve and five and
they will travel to Carolina to play an eight to
nine Panthers team. When you say back into the playoffs,
that is not the kind of attitude you want to display.
Tact the greatest league ever into the You cannot back
(35:36):
into a playoff spot more than we lost the game
at home that would have punched our ticket into the playoffs.
But because the Falcons beat the Saints the next day,
we are now in the playoffs. I had eight nine.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I see a flappy haired Matt Smith stepping out from
under the shadow of the shield, holding up his two
middle fingers.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Like you take that goodewn Hey Panthers, you won the division. Congratulations,
You get a playoff game. You can't have it at home.
You cannot have that game in Carolina with a twelve
and five RAMS team that played against the Seahawks and
forty nine ers all year.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
You are not the only voice. You might be the deepest,
most baritone and lush voice, but you are not the
only voice. Now everyone is coming around. Everybody's coming around.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Now.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
You've long preached about these playoff discrepancies. I can't say
that I care at all, Although you make a good point.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
I do not care. But you do make you make
a fine point. Thank you. You also.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Have a similar stance, perhaps a little nuanced, when it
comes to the baseball playoffs as well. Indeed, what I'd
like to know, Matt, because this is an annual. You
get upset about the NFL playoff structure every year around
this time. I do.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
This is my only quom with the NFL. And then
when it comes to the baseball you do the same.
So baseball static bracket, So which one bothers you more?
Baseball because of the static bracket, at least, the NFL
shuffles and reshuffles. It's like, hey, if the seven upsets,
you're going to play the one. We're always going to
give the team that navigated the regular season best the
(37:11):
best possibility at winning the championship, as they should. Major
League Baseball static bracket is completely and totally unacceptable. You
ought to reseed every single round.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
So we're we're more offended, more offended by base We're
more offended in September October. Yes, yeah, right, you know,
leading in October, we're more offended, you know, because it's September.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
That's when you start getting offended. Yes, the lead. Indeed,
that's fair. So we're more offended than than we are now. Yes, okay,
but this is particularly egregious. Eight and nine. You're only
there because the Falcons beat the Saints instead of you
taking care of the Buccaneers. Uh hosting a twelve and
five team that had to navigate the NFC West with
(37:52):
three teams that made the postseason, each with at least
eleven wins.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Does the NFL just walk around unaware of these discrepancies?
They need somebody with a deep baritone voice to tell
them what's wrong or do they just not care?
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I do believe the owners have dug their feet in
and they want to hold on to their precious equity.
There is a home playoff hosting of the home playoff game.
We won our division. We won our division? Do you
give us our due rights? I got a one and
four chance of making a couple million bucks by having
this game at my stage.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
I'm a political refugee from Cuba, and I demand my
human rights.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Yes, I got it. That's what, unfortunately is standing, which
I don't understand because I would rather have the opportunity
to a host that game anyway, if my team won
enough games, or now I can host a game, because again,
my team.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Won enough games to host a game.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Well, when you say the NFL, really, what you're talking
about is the collective group of owners. Yes, so if
that's what they want, Matt, that's why they're doing it.
But perhaps your voice, your deep, luscious.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Voice, may it be heard. It's been a few years.
We're planting seeds for next I think twenty twenty six
could be our year year now if it was the
Chargers that had to go out and apoplectic, But since
it's the Rams, it's just a tersely worded top story.
DeVante Adam's coming back, coming back Matthew Stafford four, Ted's
(39:14):
tossed versus the third Cardinals to push him over the
forty five touchdown mark. No quarterback that has thrown forty
five touchdowns has ever not won the MVP. So that's
why you had to play the whole game. Get all four.
He's now at forty six. Drake may Youn ain't at
forty six. And I don't know about the Chargers, but
it seems like Matt Muddy Smith. I feel good, not
(39:35):
intimidated at all by the Pats. No, we'll talk to
Jim Harbaugh, not as an imbortant as Matt's opinion. But
it's close. It's play A and B. It's close. I
feel your confidence, Matt. You're feeling tough. So we were
watching on TV. If only I had a cool graphics
screen like that where I could drag somebody's profile.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
And go bloop.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Slide shows. Man, you can verbally argue here in the radio,
but those slide.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Shows, hopefully I paint the picture with my words, an
oral argument indeed that you can helpine on. But that's
about it, passed down generation to generation.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Just like the iliad.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Well, we'll be right back with our Homeric weekend, which
is also how is your vacation?
Speaker 2 (40:20):

I guess Paisley's back in twenty twenty six, Brad Paisley,
that guy's got like It's like he dusted off his
genera Paisley shirt from nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Okay Mack is referring to a guy on Sports Center
wearing a Paisley shirt in Connecticut, right, not exactly the
fashion capital. I don't know if you need to say
Paisley's back. Yes, that guy is throwing down the incredible
Paisley vibe, as fit to Brick would say, incredible vibe.
(41:39):
But I don't know if it's back back. We're back
in Serritos, back in Cerritos. Come out and see us
on Thursday. We're gonna watch the playoff together. We will
start at three o'clock. We're gonna be out there for
four hours at the bjson Cerritos. We got prizes to

(42:00):
have them, Clipper tickets, we got all. We got the
black Matt Liner doll. You could look on Instagram at
Petrson Money or on Amphi seventy and we do go
through some of the accoutrement. However, the Buffalo Trace napkin
holder is not in that display, and it's here now.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
I mean if that were, if you were to put
that to market, I would say that piece is probably
worth at least a hundred bucks. You know, it's a
nice bar top. Or if you've got a home, if
you've got a nice wet bar at home, sure you
want to put that thing out there.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
I have a nice wet bar at home, and I
had it there and I thought, you know what this
is for the listeners. Let me take this, that's right
and give it to the listeners. A Buffalo trace. You
know what they say? That's pappy, same barrels. Yeah, well,
same as the same Actually same as bullet too. They're
all pretty much pretty much same, all those Kentucky Bourbons
around the same cricket, Go peppy. It is a it's
(42:56):
the first day we're back from vacation. So it's Monday.
I don't know how what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 7 (43:02):
What I do.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
The weekend is mine, so I was your weekend. I
had two games so could not travel. Plus my daughter
came home from New York for eight days, which was wonderful.
My other daughter was home from college in San Luis Obispo.
So that was the big win. I don't know, just
(43:24):
surfed even though the surf sucked and it was raining.
Preston had quite a few shows, so that was fun.
Heard it. Nine three twenty Main did Christmas at the
brother in law's. His light display was Griswold. Ask did
he he won? He pointed out to me, he goes,
you see that, and right there up on his his
(43:44):
second story balcony was the banner that said sweepstakes, and
I said, what's sweepstakes? He goes, what's sweepstakes? That's the
prize of all the awards handed out and the Honey
Harbor Boat Parade sweep steaks is the prize that everyone
longs to win. Big City Council meeting tomorrow nine and
(44:07):
he won it this year, so congratulations to him. I
did a lot of baking and cooking. I baked some
Grandma's candy, like the old Bronx white nougat with the
gum drops in the middle that we're a big hit.
I baked a key lime cheesecake that was not a
big hit. I made some sluice meat sliders by request
that came out pretty well. And the big win though,
(44:32):
was pizza inspired by Dave's pizza oven on Instagram. I
got a pizza steel and I started using my oven
in the house to make pizzas. And let me tell you,
feeling pretty good about the four pizzas I have now made.
I mean, how many pizzas can you bang out? If
you had like a pizza night, could you have people over?
I could bang out pizza. I could bang out enough
(44:53):
for everybody. Yeah, they're cooking. I got a nice, like
a twelve inch pie. That thing is cooking in about
seven to eight minutes. So by the time we're cutting
it and you're getting a taste of what's going next,
one is in there. You got like five or six
guys being like, hey, Mac, can you make me one
with all of them?
Speaker 3 (45:09):
The garlic we could do that. This Canadian bage, we
could do that. That steel gets hot, the air gets
Because you know, my brother in law is a real
artisanal guy. I can't imagine my pizzas would taste anywhere
here as.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Good as he had.
Speaker 3 (45:20):
An Italian guy going to his freaking backyard and built
one of those pizza ovens, Like he's got a brick oven.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Mine is just an oven that you pull open, and
it's got a piece of steel in it that gets
that crust all nice and crispy and airy on the inside.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Just like the BJ's perfect mix, just like the remix
remix one legendary remix. Uh.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
My nephew came into town because he went to IU
for the game. I took him to Jost's and the
Pelican Isle to see a band I had never seen
that I cannot recommend enough. They play around town a
lot there called Bluebirds Byrdes. I'd say, a bunch of
guys in their twenties to play a lot of Almond Brothers. Okay,
a couple of crunchy groovers. I ate something that was
way too potent and I had to do an Irish
exit because it really started hitting me too hard. It
(46:02):
was like, what has happened? Gotta be careful, man, I
really do. I was like, Nephew, we gotta go. And
then I went home and my wife started asking me
to do all this stuff and I was like, I
gotta get out of here. I can't be here either.
You go stand on the beach and freak out. I
want to watch this movie. And I told him to
leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
I've been waiting a little day to watch us. All right,
It's not like my thirteen year old my week see
boys put up a new the post.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
It's like, we got to get out of here. I
love the Bluebirds. I was like, we gotta go. They
started doing Traveling Man and I was like, I think
they oh k peach front the back. How about your
h how about your weekend? I slashed vacation there.
Speaker 4 (46:46):
Katie didn't do a lot of guys as the rain caused, uh,
you've got ja.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
Santa Anita got washed out. That's your whole week.
Speaker 4 (46:53):
We were supposed to go on New Year's Eve. Andrew
the ahead of marketing and Santa Anida, a big fan
of Great Sports Talk, had us a box ready to
go to watch racing, but it was rained out on
New Year's Eve. Instead, we took a party of sixteen
to Don Kucko's for a little dinner on New Year's Eve,
watched Stranger Things Finale. Before that, though, girls went to
the Chargers Texans game, got them tickets for that final
(47:15):
home game for the Chargers at SOFI the racket is
parking and had to pay ninety two dollars on stub
Hub to the park at Forum for parking because I
was the closest and safest for them to go that
was near so far, and it turned out it was
really close, so it worked out. But again, just spend
a lot of time watching shows fall Out on Amazon Prime,
(47:35):
Mine Hunters, I'm getting caught up on. I know there's
three seasons. I'm on season one, getting caught up on that.
Hung out a lot with friends and threw it is.
I'm on season one though, so I'm a little behind anxiety.
The rain caused the ticket market to drop out for
the Rose Bowl Game, so two of the girls went
with some friends to the Rose Bowl Game to see
Indiana and Alabama at eighty dollars a pop.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
They were four hundred dollars tickets that were on the
stub hub for eighty dollars, so uh, well done. Other
than that, just worked a couple of sundays. Raiders broadcast
ended yesterday, shot congratulations. Not a great season on the field,
but of course the radio broadcast myself in studio, so yeah,
a lot of lot of fun with the Raiders this year.
(48:19):
So thanks to Jonas Knox, by the way, who I
don't know about you guys, but he sent me a
box of Chicago pizzas lumin het of a bitch. Ronnie
got one too.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
Didn't send me, didn't send me anything.
Speaker 4 (48:32):
Blockmore got one too. Oh my gosh, I thought it
was the only one that got.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
Something that's not cheap. By the way, it's about a
hundred bucks to send you three pies from mal knot Pie.
Eventually he sent one to Mario Saliz.
Speaker 4 (48:44):
No doubt it was a three pies, but it was
an apple pie. And then to Pizza Pie. Interesting, Yes,
are you kidding me? I thought it was the only
one that got was the.
Speaker 5 (48:53):
Sausage and the cheese the deep dish delicious by the way.
He polished both of them off over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (49:00):
That was my vacation, Ronny.
Speaker 5 (49:02):
Guys, it was a fun holiday season despite all the
crazy rain. Christmas Eve was spent at my house with
the family. My wife made a ribi roast with potato salad.
Mag She was quite the spread, guys. We also had
to Molly's in a ton like Matt a ton of
baked goods, lots of spiked egg nog as well. That
(49:22):
did lead to a bit of Christmas karaoke. Christmas Day,
stayed in with the family. That's why I moved on quickly.
And New Year's we gathered at my son Julian's place,
where we had a great time ringing in the festivities
together with family and friends to welcome in the new year.
And there was a great deal of karaoke going on
(49:45):
that night as well.
Speaker 2 (49:46):
So I'll move on quickly, I'd imagine it already made
its way through the holiday.
Speaker 5 (49:55):
So New Year's Day we spent putting Christmas away and
listening to the rhythm of the falling rain. This past Saturday,
in the pouring rain, I took my car to have
new tires put on a discount tire right here in Burbank,
And a shout out to Chris Chris for all his
help and getting me in and out as soon as
possible in this wacky weather that I went home immediately
(50:18):
afterwards and stayed home for the remainder of the weekend
to avoid the flooded streets.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
A wow, we are very affected by the weather, Ronnie.
Wit Lest we forget the time that you almost died
from dehydration while you're washing your car and in the
valley heat.
Speaker 5 (50:31):
Well, you know, when I left my car at the
discount tires. It was pouring the guy said two hours,
so there was nowhere for me to go. So, if
you're familiar with the Burbank area, I walked across the
street and the pouring rain.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
Five points right there. McDonald's got Costco. That's right, that's right.
Speaker 5 (50:47):
I went to Costco and sauntered around for like an
hour and a half, walking around gathering up samples.
Speaker 4 (50:53):
And there's a gun range about a half block away.
Speaker 5 (50:55):
You know, Tim, you know, I did think about it.
It was raining too hard, though, so I just walked
to McDonald's afterward, got a coffee, and by that time
my car was ready.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
So there you go.
Speaker 4 (51:04):
All right, that was my holiday weekend. Jonas really sent
you one?
Speaker 5 (51:07):
Yeah, Jonas Knox sent me up a special care package.
Lou mal Natti's I.
Speaker 2 (51:12):
Mean, if Ronnie's gonna get it, I feel like we
should get it when one of us leave. That's how
he makes his extra scratch.
Speaker 5 (51:17):
Jonas has got some christ tools.
Speaker 4 (51:19):
Jonas, I spent thirty minutes trying to figure out who
sent that to me. We went on FEDIX, tried to
do reverse like labeled searching, and then all of a sudden,
Joe's like I see it was delivered very Christmas.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
Did the same thing.
Speaker 5 (51:30):
He sent me a text message shortly afterwards and he said, so,
I see you got a package delivered a last night, he.
Speaker 3 (51:37):
Was celebrating the twenty years on the Challenge that he
never did twenty years behind him.
Speaker 2 (51:44):
Get guarded after Mark the Kenseko Brothers when they're like
a combined six hundred and forty home runs, Jose's got
six thirty nine and his brothers got one. Did Olivia
Garvey get in a fight with him? No?
Speaker 4 (51:58):
No, but did with the last show, and it's a
little contentious at the end. I couldn't stop watching what happened.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (52:02):
She kind of got after Mario because Mario made a
comment to her about something she wore the past episode.
And then I don't remember if he's a fashionating side.
Did he say it was like too risque or something.
He had a mink jacket on I think last night,
and they were making fun of him.
Speaker 2 (52:16):
He looked like a real tool.
Speaker 4 (52:17):
And then he said something and she goes, well, for
a guy who's never been to in and out had
a burger there. He's like, well, well, on what you
meet you know, Mario, watch what I eat and all this.
It was really really contentious. I shouldn't watch, yes, not
for the content, but just for them going back and forth.
Speaker 3 (52:32):
As much as we love Mario Soleiz, he's not exactly
the best improvisational man out there. Though in the La
Local media, I've always got very nice. He's a nice,
very nice man. Even though he looks like an aged
member of the Menudo band and dresses like that, he
is a nice person. No, he looks like Lobamba. He
looks like the guy. The actor Diamond Phillips is sim Morales. Okay,
(52:59):
uh was your break Well? We had a standard Papadaca's
Christmas at my father's Christmas even breakfast, which of course
I ended angrily.
Speaker 2 (53:10):
My kids won't listen to me. I saw. I went
to the desert and saw Utopia two with my family.
How was that?
Speaker 3 (53:18):
I noticed one thing, and one thing only the ass
on that bunny. They put this as they put the bunny,
and I noticed this In Utopia one, they packed that
bunny's ass played by Jennifer Goodwin, an adult bunny. They
pack her ass into like some bunny looking yoga pants
with their little tail coming out, and they have her
wiggle in her ass the whole movie and they act
(53:38):
like that's no big deal, like you're not supposed to
look at this, like we've made this shapely bunny ass
and it ain't no big deal. I know what they're doing.
And I said after the movie to my family, I said,
why we're at the yardhouse? Of course, I said, and no,
I did not get the yard of beer. You didn't
(53:59):
get the one you spin no, And I did it,
but my wife said, who orders that?
Speaker 2 (54:03):
How do you drink it? I was like, my wife,
you have to spin it to I pulled the bottom
like a nob, like your misagence of what sack?
Speaker 1 (54:14):
No.
Speaker 3 (54:14):
I mentioned in my family and Judy's the name of
the buddy played by Jennifer Goodwin. I mentioned my family
and I said, why was it all bunny ass? And
my daughter and wife are like what, And my son
who's thirteen, was like, yes, it was all ass.
Speaker 4 (54:29):
I was like, yeah, I take my eyes off that ass.
Speaker 3 (54:31):
As I returned home from fighting with my kids in
the desert to fighting with them at home, and then
my nephew and godson, Johnny and his fiance Dylan, it's
to chick And if it wasn't, he'd be okay, it'd
be fine if it was. They weren't down for Vegas,
(54:54):
which was nice. We went to church Saint Catherine Greek
Orthodox and Redondo family lunch at the HT Grill with
my father yesterday.
Speaker 2 (55:03):
How was that? I ordered?
Speaker 3 (55:04):
I think another Greyhound and he might have told the
waitress don't it's like cut me off.
Speaker 2 (55:09):
I was like one, I can't have two. And you
know he didn't even pick up. Did they pour a
stiff drink there at the HT Grill?
Speaker 3 (55:20):
No, dude, My my cousin Anna and Mike, the Roblest family,
they undercut the dawn on the bill and I thought
he was gonna flip the table.
Speaker 2 (55:28):
But he's too old. He's too tired, too damn old,
too f and blind. But if I was the man
I was twenty years ago, today, I take it and
throw it at this place.
Speaker 4 (55:38):
So you guys got nothing from Jonas huh No, No,
did not.
Speaker 2 (55:43):
Get You know what I got.
Speaker 3 (55:44):
I got him taking credit for the eighteen years of
work I did on NBC.
Speaker 2 (55:48):
That's what I got, right, he got too, though, twenty
years I mean, that's that's that's an expensive present, man. Yeah,
it comes in that dry ice like to hear that
they're fighting on the challenge. Me too, just coming apart.
You've never even had in and out. Oh god, I'm
(56:08):
a vegetarian.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
You know that.
Speaker 2 (56:11):
You can't share that.
Speaker 3 (56:12):
We got to find it pretty hard to relate to
his sports watching audience, Mario, when you don't even eat
meat and you dress like some kind of weirdo.
Speaker 2 (56:19):
You're in a mink coat. Freak.
Speaker 3 (56:22):

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Romy Why are you giving it away? What am I
gonna do with a buffalo trace napkin hold? What are
you gonna do it that you give it to fully
functional employee? Adam, you say, hey, here, I'm leaning in
to your obsession.
Speaker 3 (04:26):

He doesn't.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
No, there, congratulations, Adam. Right, there's an extra Matt money
Smith King's hockey bobblehead still bobbles that we found are two.
Thanks for helping fire coverage on KFI. Special awards from
the interim program director. Last year, Matt gave his to
(04:58):
the front desk, but we got it, and then mine
is there. One says money, one says pee, you're the best. Yeah,
it says you're the best. So those are a couple
special awards.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You're gonna give away your raqbar mass.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I am giving away the Admiral Lackbar Mass because I
can't possibly fathom ever putting it on again.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It's a trap. It is a trap. I can fathom
you putting it on it.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Guys, I've got something as well.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
What do you got there?
Speaker 5 (05:23):
You know, I was cleaning out the e Fossio compound
a couple of weeks back, and I stumbled across a
companion piece to Matt's King's bubblehead.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
What have we got right?
Speaker 5 (05:33):
The Joe Grande bobblehead? Should you so choose to give
that away? It's right here in the control room.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I don't want to want up you, so I'm not
gonna say what the number one prize to give away
is yet. But we do have a shaquill O Neo
bobblehead in which he is extremely black. Looks good, you know,
because you don't want him to fade out.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Remember when you know the the Elton brand from Carls
Junior turned green that this is this is not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
No to that Shack O'Neil. That's a good one. Wow.
Then we have Kenley Jansen, the product cure us out.
That is a shaquill O'Neill legend of the court. We
should actually check this thing, Matt. It's about giving them.
It's it's a limited edition five hundred and six of
two thousand and four.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
We'll look it up during the breaking Matt Petros. We've
also got another bobblehead. It's a it's a special edition.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Cliff Paul bobblehead. Oh like the the State Far Yeah,
the State Far Paul. That's cool.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
We got a Kenlee Janssen bobblehead that Vassid doesn't want
anymore because he's an angel.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
This should have signed him.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
We've got a pile of Charger stuff, including a Justin
Herbert jersey. We've got an h K Alta Loma button
down that's embroidered in the back like a Tom Bahama shirt.
And the number one prize that we are giving away.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Matt. You're really gonna do it. We're really gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
If the Joe Grandez bablehand would be number one that
Ronnie brought up.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Instead, we have what well sad NFL Replays Series three
from the NFL Players Association. It's an action figure. It
is an action figure, bendable arms, legs and turns and
everything comes with a stand that's basically some football turf
(07:40):
and you can plant the number seven in whatever action
post you want. Is the black Matt Liner action figure.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Matt Liner is h He is a black dude. They
made him a black guy and they made him a
black dude. It's an accident, it's a misprint or what ever.
And I don't know what it's worth. U.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
The Shaquille O'Neal I have found online is anywhere from
one hundred and fifty to two hundred and ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Dollars, so we can give it away. That's a little
high for your uncle anny, right. I'd like to take
that money and buy some pizzas for all of us.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Not a bad idea, but can we sell it on
Tim Kates's eBay? Gun girl, maw this one here seven
four to one, Ohio. Pass it up for one hundred
and fifty dollars, buy it now.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I didn't know when I grabbed that shack thing. I
didn't know Matt, but just when I looked at the
bottom of what just like black Matt Liner. We're gonna
have to give it away through the raffle. You can't
just walk up and snatch at it right right. And
the reason you're hearing the Filipino DJ music is because
Matt and I are headed back to our favorite city,
(08:51):
our favorite mayor.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
I my name is Frank Aurelio Yokoyama, and I am
honored to be the mayor of my hometown of the

Speaker 3 (10:15):
She came to see us once. That's how you gotta roll.
You gotta roll with your mayor pro tem has got
to be right on your side, your wing man. You
got to be able to trust that mayor pro tem.
Watching a lot of these city council meetings and stuff,
I'm starting to realize if your pro tam is not
pro temming for your mayor oralship, then you got a
real problem.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Council Member Jennifer Hong, who has a very Ronnie Fossio
like sign, it's your beautiful pat on Jenny Hong. Council

Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's gonna be a four hour show. Big charger giveaway action.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, we got all this stuff here. What do we got?
We are justin Herbert Jersey. We got to charge your
jerseys to Hello jerseys beautiful. So what do you say, Kate's,
will you be able to haul all this stuff?
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I'll send it down to you guys in Serritos.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
What Kate's not coming?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Come on, Kate, you got to set it up.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
I got that swap meat style.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You've got to set up that style. Yeah, coursing through
your veins.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Dude, you're talking about going to West Covina. Man, we're
talking about going to Sorito's. Man, that's our town for
our show, Kate's, that's our town. I did look up
the Matt Liner or excuse me, black Matt Lionert.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Is that how it is? Is that how it's described
on eBay?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Or no?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
No, it's just referred to as Matt Lionert Series three
replay action figure anywhere between twenty five to forty one dollars.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
They're still in it town. Let me suggest this, Kate's.
As you're the only one here with an eBay account,
why don't you post it and put black Matt Liner ooh,
and let's see if people like what. Well, then they
look at it and they're like, whoa there?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
I mean, the four of them that I'm looking at
on eBay is there's four of them plus one in Australia.
That's a pretty dark hue of Matt Liner. It looks
like they're.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
All see black. But that's the thing that it's bad
advertising by those people that are selling it. Yeah, because
it would be a lot easier to sell black matt Liner.
Like if I'm shopping for the series three replays, I
don't care about Matt Liner in a Cardinals uniform if
you say it's black matt Liner.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Though, if matt Liner was black, I'd probably be convincible
about usc Notre Dame being put to an end. Yeah,
because black matt Liner said it was okay. But white
Matt Liner, I'm not taking it. I'm not taking it.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Not into you, White Matt Liner.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
You know, I could kind of see the angle.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
You know, it's not fair. The rest of the Big
tenure Matt Rush of the Big Ten isn't playing an
opponent like that, so they're not Penn State's not playing
Ohio State in October.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I always thought Ohio you know, Ohio State's not playing well.
I thought Ohio State opened up that last season went
that Texas.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Seemed like it. Anyway, we got a lot of price.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Is the giveaway we're going to be live at the
BJ's restaurant in brew House to watch the college football
playoff with the people at three o'clock ending at seven
at our favorite BJ's. I think it goes without saying
our favorite Bjys in the beautiful, very innovative. They got
the mall parking oh Titanium City of Surreto.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Right off the six oh five at South and listen,
like we've said, when you're done there, why not give
a run over there to sax Off Fifth or Nordstrom
Rack or the Guitar Center. There's a lot of different
things to buy yourself something. Right off the six oh five.
You could either hop under the freeway too and head
to the Soritos Auto Square. You could do that. Where
(13:45):
anything's possible. There's an unbelievable just ask Verne. I believe.
I believe they have one of the very few smart
car dealerships on the corner. Have you heard about this
new job opportunity in Waymo areas? No, have you heard
about this?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
There's a new job opportunity because people are that lazy
in the world. Apparently these Waymos, these people leave their
ride and they don't close the door all the way,
or the seat belt gets caught and the door's not
closed all the way can't go. If the door's not
closed all the way, Weamo won't go. So then Waimo
just sits there. So if you live in one of
these areas where Weaymo is around, it's like having a beeper.
(14:22):
Your keeper goes off and you got to run up
to the Waymo and close the door. They they can't
get like a suction like inside the Waymo to close it.
They can just so that's like the society.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Get like that robot that kick that dude in the
balls the other day, to run one of those delivery robots,
oh yeah, to bunk into it that runs into lines
people in wheelchairs, knocks over Harley Davidson's on the sidewalk
to deliver somebody's yoshinoya. What do you do for a living?
I closed doors on Waymo's.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
It's a lot of money. Okay, there's a lot of
people that are gay. All right, I'm not, but there's
a lot of people that are.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
According to the Washington Post, people in Los Angeles could
apply for this job. Pay you twenty dollars a pop
for every.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Gig you You could listen to the Petrols and Money
Show on the iHeartRadio app all day making twenty hours.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, twenty dollars a pop. Yeah, I'm not gay, so
just it's a lot of people who are you.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Know, you work twenty hours twenty dollars a pop. Listen
to Great Sports Talk three or four times over and
on the beach Man have at the time of your life,
you're like Chevy Chase and Fletch popping door and then
you could run a scam. You know, you get like
one guy on one end that gives the person like
two bucks.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Hey, do me a favor. When you're finished for your ride,
leave that door open for me. Don't close that door open.
I think you get paid either way, whether you close
doors or not. You're on call, but you know what
I mean, like get people to leave the door open intentionally,
so you could you get more doors to pop. Do
they pay you per door? I think they pay you
per hour. Oh per door? They said per door.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
It's twenty dollars to fix each problem.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, twenty bucks to fix a problem. So you've got
to run the scam of getting one guy on the
front end. Hey, where you going? Leave that door.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Neighborhood of especially lazy people to make your money closing
doors in Weymo, because if people are responsible, then you're
not getting paid. So you want to be like a
drunk area where people are getting dropped off and falling
off car al drunk.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
What if it's like that, Uh, it's like a pyramid scam.
It's like Mona V. Right, the shot of a sigh
you take every day and it cleans out you're inside.
Somebody remembers the Mona V. Period. What if we create
a network pe where we have tentacles all throughout the
city west Side. You're in Westwood, you're in Santa Monica,
you're in Hawaiian Gardens. I got you here in Baldwin
(16:37):
and then you just buzz your guy, Hey, I got
a WAYMO coming. They're gonna leave the door open their
arrival addresses right here. You give the passenger five bucks,
you pocket fifteen every time the person that pops the
door gets ten. We pocket five for running the network.
But I have to like stay ahead of where everybody's going. Yeah,
it feels like i'd have to do. There's a on
(16:59):
top of this thing. Man.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Apparently you sign up and there's an app called Honk,
which towing companies use, and you'll be notified if there's
an issue around you, and you can get paid between
twenty to twenty four dollars twenty four per case. And
according to somebody interviewed by The Washington Post, a towing
company guy, he said this happens between three and five
times a week that he gets called to free up
(17:23):
a it's only like seventy.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Bucks, seventy five bucks. That's just him, though, that's not
enough for you to run a scam.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
That's just him.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
And he says most of the time it's the rear
seatbelt getting caught and the door cannot close regularly.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Where you slam the door onto the seatbelt, and well cash,
well food for thought.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
You know, if you're listening to great sports talk and
you don't have a lot of prospects, yeah, and you're like, gosh,
what am I going to do in twenty twenty six?
I feel that way all the time. Then you might
want to call WAMO and get one of those door
closing So what's great about caves? You know the cab
he's just got a cigarette in his mouth and he's
just gonna unbuckle his seatbelt, lean in that back seat
and pull that door close and keep You.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Could even get out and close. Good.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Here's the other issue. Apparently, because there's no driver, a
lot of people who take waymos are more likely just
to get out in the middle of an intersection. If traffic.
They won't wait it out, so they just say, screw this,
there's no driver here to tell me what to do.
I'm just gonna get out of the car and leave. Yeah,
they just jump out right. Yeah, Well, if it sucks,
I'm out of here.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Let's say we're downtown and the Weaimo there's like a
protest or something, and the Waimo door that I shut
is also on fire. Do I get extra for that?
Do I get forty for that? If I closed it
it was on fire, or maybe even put out the fire.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I think there's room to negotiating.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I mean, I think, why is the door on fire? Again?
Speaker 3 (18:37):
There's a protest fire at the protest and they burned
down like twentys just to full on multied cocktail. That's
thes are the first, They're the most they are the
most defenseless things in a downtown protest. We've learned in
the last years to be cop cars. It used to
be cop cars, but now it's the Weaimo that wears
it even harder, so.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
That we have technology for a RIVALUS car, but not
a button to just close it door with a hinge
on there.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Or something or just yeah, automatically, Hey, when you exit
the Weaimo, leave the door open, and then it has
like a little mechanized we can pull the seat belt
back in and close the door automatically. I don't know, man,
I just saw that robot that was like mimicking the
guy doing tichie and it Kickdom square in the balls,
and that got me excited about the future of robots.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah, I think these robots are going to carve us
all up eventually, like that robot in the black Hole
with the propeller thing in Maximilian Shell. So there's a
little Waimo news for everybody out there.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I asked Matt a football question, speaking of technology, Matt,
where we supposed to have a new way to measure
first downs?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
We do have the eagle eyed system.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
I mean, how many times are you guys using it
a Charger game this year?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I think we used it twice. Really, it was incredibly
awkward because they didn't put it on the screen, and
they were just standing there looking at each other, and
we're like, a.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Mechanical bird comes down and snatches the ball right, swallows
the ball and then and then processes that.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
It looks like lays an egg. It poops it out
right where it's supposed to go.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I don't think they used it one time in a
raider game. I know they had trouble moving the ball.
I get it. The offense wasn't really.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
There, but the first downs out there, right, But hey,
if we had that eagle, we would have had at
least three or four more first down.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It happened twice in a Raider game, and it was
very awkward and took far too long. Yeah, the eagle
comes down, it swallows, swallows the ball, poops it out.
Noah Eagle puts on his freshest shoes. All right, now,
you've wrecked it all with the Noah Eagle case. Destroyed everything.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Sweet haircut, little his little tiny shoes. Okay, we all
love Noah Eagle, but he spray paints his head on.
I don't know what he's doing with his hairline. It's
got to stop. It's got to stop. I haven't noticed oh, Matt,
I'll show you. Indeed, it is Christmas Day on Netflix.
The one the one thing that I have noticed though,
speaking of my radio partner, is his hair is still.
(20:56):
He is flapping his Big Wave Dave hair almost as
an affront to God. At this point it might as
well be as a face tax I.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Did have someone call me thanks to you, Big Wave
Dave the other night when I was out, the hair
was peeking out of the That's.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
The Chargers Instagram and I was like, good lord, I mean,
look at that. Is that Burkhart need nor sure desperately.
I mean it's an unbelievable starship enterprise like Flume coming
out now.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I only make boards one way, burked the right way,
the right way.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
We'll have the top story of the day coming up next.
We have, as Ronnie said, a Joe Grande bobblehead.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
We have your buffalo trace napkin and what goes in
there like toothpicks and cocktail mixers and stuff. And that
ball that that bowl has got some gigantic testicles. I
mean massive testicles. Beautiful. Oh I thought those were just
the eyes on the hack bar thing.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
But those balls.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Welcome to twenty twenty six, everybody same. Oh, great sports talk,
great sports talk. Let me show you Noah Eagles hairline.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
When a little bit, we'll be right drinking right the
balls and moving around stirs it up where you met.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
That's exactly you know what. We'll be back. We've made
it even easier to take LA Sports with you this summer.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Make AM five to seventy or your favorite AM five
seventy LA Sports podcast, a preset on the iHeartRadio app
using Apple car Play or Android Autumn road Trip all
summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
It's no I'm a horse Monday on the Pettersen Money Show,
and we're a boy powering our way, pulling our way
like teamsters through another year. Our twentieth year of great
sports talk. Yes, twenty twenty six is our twentieth year
on the air together here on AM II seventy LA Sports.
(22:52):
Jim Harbaugh will join us in our final hour. We'll
wrap up the USC season after that great Alamo Bowl
in the four o'clock hour. How is your weekend Christmas
break coming up next?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yeah, got a lot going on a lot, but right
now it's time for the top story of the day.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
We got football, we got playoffs, and just to prep
us for this top story, pl have you know the
window that is currently open on my computer is set
to punt Aalytics and according to Puntalytics, the Chargers JK. Scott.
It's crazy. I have that window open too. I didn't.
What's up? What are the chances? Well, the EPA on JK.
(23:32):
Scott is at point zero zero five expected points added
per punt New England a minus point zero zero five
expected points at it. Talk about swinging a game in
your favor, that's swinging from the knees. I am very
excited about that. Your top story, pe. The playoffs have arrived.
(23:56):
The Chargers are in the playoffs. The Rams are in
the playoffs. Doubt that we'd have Jim Harbaugh on if
the Chargers missed the playoffs. I believe you are correct,
but he will come on and celebrate what has been
a trying year, a year filled with adversity, with attrition,
and man, it's going to look different this year. No
Lamar Jackson. Thanks to a kicker named Luke and a
(24:19):
Catholic priest in the Pittsburgh area that sprinkled some holy
water in the end zone in which the upright stood
that mister Luke pushed a kick that faded to the right.
We have no Patrick Mahomes. Even though they made a
sequel on the Hallmark Channel to they wildly to the
wildly unsuccessful first installment of Touchdown Hometown Holiday bogis.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I think that's what it was called.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Which one, the Buffalo one, the the Chiefs one. The
original did not do well. Holiday Touchdown Touchdown was terrible,
Matt it didn't great, giganic failure.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I don't know about the Bills one, and it led
to them missing the playoffs. There is no Patrick Mahomes
this year.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
The Bills makes the playoffs. They did Josh Allen, so
we can expect them not to make the playoffs next year.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Exactly. Okay, Josh Allen comes in as the sixth seed.
He will have to win at least two road games
to get to the Super Bowl. How could he play
a home game? Well, AFC Championship against the Chargers. That's
how the Chargers are the seventh seed. They were fine
with that. Clearly they played it that way.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
No one.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
A win would put them in the sixth slot based
on how the game turned out. A win over the
Broncos would send Denver, sliding to the three and set
them up for a rematch at Mile High on the
wild card round lose fall to the seven, and a
date with the worst to first New England Patriots. The
Chargers played their penultimate regular season game in Foxborough last
season Week seventeen. Cold freezing rain hammered Drake may and
(25:46):
the Patriots forty to seven last year. Last year likely
the performance that got their head coach Jared Mayo fired
one and done only to hire Mike Rabel, who led
them to fourteen wins after a four win season, which
obviously is an incredible accomplishment. They may have the league MVP.
All of the folks with the Rams are pushing the
(26:08):
idea that Matthew Stafford should get it as a career achievement,
as a thanks for your service Matthew type of award,
as opposed to a guy that's just in his second season.
He did that to make sure that he made one
last push against a turd opponent. We'll get more into
that in a minute, but depending on what advanced metrics
you want to follow, the Patriots are ahead of the
Chargers in total DVA nine to seventeen offensive EPA. The
(26:32):
Patriots trailed only the Rams in the regular season. The
Chargers twenty first overall, but defensively, Chargers are ahead of
the Patriots eight to nine against the run, Chargers second
in the league, Patriots eleventh, and with a healthy Amarion
Hampton versus Treveon Henderson in New England, the rookie running
backs could have a lot to say about who will
get out with a win in this wild card Sunday
night Prime Time showdown. The forecast says high twenties to
(26:56):
low thirties. I don't know if that's football weather, if
that's a little bit bold. Oh, football weather seems like
it's a little bit colder than what I would consider
football weather. Well, what what would be the correct I
always feel like no one, I mean, people just say
football we feel.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Like November when it's in the forties. They're like, oh,
we finally got football weather. Guys, they play football in
most every kind of weather. All weather is football weather.
This to me feels like it's colder than Hey, guys,
we got football weather here on its face. LA team
going all the way back east. Cold weather not usually
(27:31):
a recipe for success. No, or I'll play a game.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Differently now, I've played this game a little bit different
than you might and a don't you have a good
coaching matchup? A great storyline word was Mike Rabel really
wanted the Chargers gig after he was fired in Tennessee,
and the Chargers were quite smitten with Mike Rabel as
well until Jim Harbaugh became available. Coming off the National
Championship obviously rocketed to the top of their list. It
(27:56):
has worked out incredibly for the Chargers, back to back
eleven win seasons for the first time since two thousand
and six and seven. They seek their first appearance in
the Championship game since that same two thousand and seven,
when Philip Rivers courageously played it against the Patriots on
a torn acl with Ladany and Tomlinson out, who was
dealing with his own knee injury. It has been that long,
(28:18):
and while they lost that game in Denver yesterday nineteen
to three. A defense without Khalil Mack two Leaf Twoy
Pulo two, Dyon Henley, Denzel, Perriman, Derwin, James, Elijah Molden
from the jump. Six of their eleven starters did not play.
Two Pro bowlers in there. A unit with a Ton
of backups, including first games by rookies Kyle Canard and
Marlowe wax. That's a real canard. That is a real
(28:40):
canard that Kyle Canard marlow Waxed, the undrafted free agent
out of Syracuse lay very good football. So of course
they held the Broncos for all intents and purposes to
two field goals. The other thirteen points came on a
pick six, a strip sack at the Chargers twenty that
an offensive drive gave him all of negative two yards
and a field goal, and a turnover on downs shy
of midfield that led to another field What does that
(29:00):
tell you, Matt, It tells me that they planted seeds
of doubt into the brains of the number one seed.
Should the Chargers knock off New England and show up
at Mile High with a defense fortified with the aforementioned
group who were absent, along with Justin Herbert under center
instead of Trey Lance and amari On Hampton behind him,
they had Justin Herbert. They win that game. No doubt
(29:21):
go down my mind.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
Doubt.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
There is no powerhouse in the AFC bracket, is what
we're getting to. There is no clear dominant team. You'd
probably be less surprised if every wildcard team won. The Chargers, Bills,
and Texans. Heck, the Bills and Texans are favored in
their games against Jacksonville and Pittsburgh respectively. Then were the Patriots, Jaguars,
and Steelers. Well, the last two years, right, the Chargers
(29:46):
got beat in the first round. Last year they got
beat by the Texans.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
And the year before it was Jacksonville where you went
and visited there. Yeah, two years pro where you visited
the Dinosaur. Yes, the Texans. I visited a fountain that
was closed for renovation.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
You fail in your I failed. You sent me to
a and it was historically cold, and.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
You skipped like three of the obstacles. You you failed,
and that's probably why they lost that game.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
But they do have that.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
They did do the Baltimore Uh that year they won.
That was that was very well and that took me
to New England. Yeah, that was very very many years ago, Matt.
And you've lost your luster for obstruction, I'm going back
to Boston, you are, and I lost my leg. It
would be a surprising thing to go out and win
in Boston, right.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
For the Charge.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Oh yeah, I mean it's three and a half points,
so you know you're supposed to get a field goal
as a home team. They got the Pats PLU minus
three and a half. However, did the Pats have like
the best pass rush in the NFL. That is why
it lines up of all the opponents, it's a it's
a good it's a really good group. In the AFC
playoff Brack.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
You don't want a great pass rusher use likely he
will live the entire game inside justin Herbert's girdle.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
It is the least formidable pass rush of all the teams,
including the Chargers with Tuley and Khalilia. Do not have
a single most modestly priced earn. They do not have
a double digit sacker. Their leading sacker is the journeyman
Kay Levon chas On, very popular name in certain parts
of the country, Apostrophe Levon. They have Harold Landry, they
(31:16):
have Christian Barmore and a gentleman by the name of
Milton in the middle of their defensive line, John Milton,
who Paradise lost Milton Williams. John Milton was blind. How's
it gonnaarrest the past?
Speaker 7 (31:26):
All?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
He feels it out? You know his other senses are heightened.
When you lose your sight, everything else increases. You can
feel where everybody is. That's an epic poem. The Patriots
are currently plus one thousand to win the Super Bowl.
That is fifth lowest odds. The Chargers are plus three thousand,
twelve out of the fourteen teams and six in the AFC. Well,
(31:49):
I guess the futures suggest that they don't believe in
these Chargers, or that perhaps because of last year in
chaos could be or could be that they're the seventh
seed and will have to win three games on the road,
and they don't have their tackles, either of them, but
they might have their backup to the backup. Now we're talking. Now.
You got Jamari Sawyer out there at left tackle after
(32:10):
taking two weeks off, Trey Pickens at the right. That's
a horse of a different colin. Trevor Penning has removed
tight end at six six three forty. What are we doing? Pee?
They had those guys, they would have beat Denver about
twenty one points. The Chargers were five and three away
from home. They beat the Chiefs twice on the road.
The Patriots had three losses on the season. They're fourteen
to three. All of them came at home. They blew
(32:31):
one to Buffalo right Blue one to Buffalo at home.
A couple weeks back a playoff team, Blue one to
the Pittsburgh slowed out. They got blown out by the
Steelers at home, a playoff team, and their third loss
came Week one against the Raiders. They only beat one
playoff team, Pee and that was the split they got
with the Bills. Other than that, their schedule, the way
it laid out, was so light it was actually the
(32:52):
easiest schedule in the league this season. That they only
have notched one single win against a playoff team and
they're split against the Bills. O line versus Oline. Herbert
is the most pressured, most hit, most sack quarterback in
the league. Guess who's the second most hit pressured sack
quarterback in the league, Drake may fair fight. They got
(33:14):
a fair fight. He was legal. It was legal. We
got a fair fight.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Well, Matt, you have convinced me that the Chargers got
a chance. They are in the cat bird seed to
win this whole thing. They got a chance win this
go to Denver. You've planted seeds of doubt. Knock off
bo Nicks, who does not look I'm sorry, you just
I just I can't help myself.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
You see nicks I don't like. These are teams that
won a whole bunch of games. They did fourteen wins
a piece. The Broncos. You would have to take down
a combined twenty eight and six record to make it
to the AFC Championship. And I believe that it is
possible with the way this thing lays out and everybody
being healthy, getting their rest and getting into the tournament.
(33:56):
Is Herbert still have a prosthetic arm? He is still
Luke Skywalker Circa Empire, Return of the Jedi, still a
prosthetic arm. Yes, I believe so. But that prosthetic arm
got a week off impressive. Yes, so you're able to
kind of buff out the nicks and the scrapes and
repaint it and you can get it out there, get
that grip going, make some things happen. Omrio On Hampton
(34:17):
with a week off, good looking young back, Jamari Sawyer
with a week off, Quentin Johnston, Lad McConkey all weeks off,
Khalil Mack, Derwin James all got to take a bye.
Somebody told me in my ear, I'm not going to
say who that maybe there should be some concerns regarding Dicker,
the kicker, going out there in the cold, not playing well,
(34:40):
missing some kicks. He is the most accurate kicker in
NFL history. Did he have a bad game against the Texans? Yeah,
You're only as good as your last kick, you know,
well he did. He did make that. You're at that
thirty yarder in Denver, your last playoff kick?
Speaker 4 (34:55):
What happened week seventeen, Matt, Well, listen, it happens to everybody.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
He missed his first ever feel goal inside of forty
yard Yeah, case, and he's first extra point a year
and they lost a game by four.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Matt's gonna fight for these guys. Okay, always, you better
come with something else. You better come with something better
than the greatest kicker in the NFL history missed it
kicked in a game that didn't matter because Bonix.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Sucks, right, stink bonnicks your garbage. Uh, double middle fingers
to the NFL. The Rams are twelve and five and
they will travel to Carolina to play an eight to
nine Panthers team. When you say back into the playoffs,
that is not the kind of attitude you want to display.
Tact the greatest league ever into the You cannot back
(35:36):
into a playoff spot more than we lost the game
at home that would have punched our ticket into the playoffs.
But because the Falcons beat the Saints the next day,
we are now in the playoffs. I had eight nine.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I see a flappy haired Matt Smith stepping out from
under the shadow of the shield, holding up his two
middle fingers.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Like you take that goodewn Hey Panthers, you won the division. Congratulations,
You get a playoff game. You can't have it at home.
You cannot have that game in Carolina with a twelve
and five RAMS team that played against the Seahawks and
forty nine ers all year.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
You are not the only voice. You might be the deepest,
most baritone and lush voice, but you are not the
only voice. Now everyone is coming around. Everybody's coming around.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Now.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
You've long preached about these playoff discrepancies. I can't say
that I care at all, Although you make a good point.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
I do not care. But you do make you make
a fine point. Thank you. You also.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Have a similar stance, perhaps a little nuanced, when it
comes to the baseball playoffs as well. Indeed, what I'd
like to know, Matt, because this is an annual. You
get upset about the NFL playoff structure every year around
this time. I do.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
This is my only quom with the NFL. And then
when it comes to the baseball you do the same.
So baseball static bracket, So which one bothers you more?
Baseball because of the static bracket, at least, the NFL
shuffles and reshuffles. It's like, hey, if the seven upsets,
you're going to play the one. We're always going to
give the team that navigated the regular season best the
(37:11):
best possibility at winning the championship, as they should. Major
League Baseball static bracket is completely and totally unacceptable. You
ought to reseed every single round.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
So we're we're more offended, more offended by base We're
more offended in September October. Yes, yeah, right, you know,
leading in October, we're more offended, you know, because it's September.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
That's when you start getting offended. Yes, the lead. Indeed,
that's fair. So we're more offended than than we are now. Yes, okay,
but this is particularly egregious. Eight and nine. You're only
there because the Falcons beat the Saints instead of you
taking care of the Buccaneers. Uh hosting a twelve and
five team that had to navigate the NFC West with
(37:52):
three teams that made the postseason, each with at least
eleven wins.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Does the NFL just walk around unaware of these discrepancies?
They need somebody with a deep baritone voice to tell
them what's wrong or do they just not care?
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I do believe the owners have dug their feet in
and they want to hold on to their precious equity.
There is a home playoff hosting of the home playoff game.
We won our division. We won our division? Do you
give us our due rights? I got a one and
four chance of making a couple million bucks by having
this game at my stage.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
I'm a political refugee from Cuba, and I demand my
human rights.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Yes, I got it. That's what, unfortunately is standing, which
I don't understand because I would rather have the opportunity
to a host that game anyway, if my team won
enough games, or now I can host a game, because again,
my team.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Won enough games to host a game.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Well, when you say the NFL, really, what you're talking
about is the collective group of owners. Yes, so if
that's what they want, Matt, that's why they're doing it.
But perhaps your voice, your deep, luscious.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Voice, may it be heard. It's been a few years.
We're planting seeds for next I think twenty twenty six
could be our year year now if it was the
Chargers that had to go out and apoplectic, But since
it's the Rams, it's just a tersely worded top story.
DeVante Adam's coming back, coming back Matthew Stafford four, Ted's
(39:14):
tossed versus the third Cardinals to push him over the
forty five touchdown mark. No quarterback that has thrown forty
five touchdowns has ever not won the MVP. So that's
why you had to play the whole game. Get all four.
He's now at forty six. Drake may Youn ain't at
forty six. And I don't know about the Chargers, but
it seems like Matt Muddy Smith. I feel good, not
(39:35):
intimidated at all by the Pats. No, we'll talk to
Jim Harbaugh, not as an imbortant as Matt's opinion. But
it's close. It's play A and B. It's close. I
feel your confidence, Matt. You're feeling tough. So we were
watching on TV. If only I had a cool graphics
screen like that where I could drag somebody's profile.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
And go bloop.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Slide shows. Man, you can verbally argue here in the radio,
but those slide.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Shows, hopefully I paint the picture with my words, an
oral argument indeed that you can helpine on. But that's
about it, passed down generation to generation.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Just like the iliad.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Well, we'll be right back with our Homeric weekend, which
is also how is your vacation?

I guess Paisley's back in twenty twenty six, Brad Paisley,
that guy's got like It's like he dusted off his
genera Paisley shirt from nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Okay Mack is referring to a guy on Sports Center
wearing a Paisley shirt in Connecticut, right, not exactly the
fashion capital. I don't know if you need to say
Paisley's back. Yes, that guy is throwing down the incredible
Paisley vibe, as fit to Brick would say, incredible vibe.
(41:39):
But I don't know if it's back back. We're back
in Serritos, back in Cerritos. Come out and see us

black Matt Liner doll. You could look on Instagram at
Petrson Money or on Amphi seventy and we do go
through some of the accoutrement. However, the Buffalo Trace napkin
holder is not in that display, and it's here now.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
I mean if that were, if you were to put
that to market, I would say that piece is probably
worth at least a hundred bucks. You know, it's a
nice bar top. Or if you've got a home, if
you've got a nice wet bar at home, sure you
want to put that thing out there.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
I have a nice wet bar at home, and I
had it there and I thought, you know what this
is for the listeners. Let me take this, that's right
and give it to the listeners. A Buffalo trace. You
know what they say? That's pappy, same barrels. Yeah, well,
same as the same Actually same as bullet too. They're
all pretty much pretty much same, all those Kentucky Bourbons
around the same cricket, Go peppy. It is a it's
(42:56):
the first day we're back from vacation. So it's Monday.
I don't know how what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 7 (43:02):
What I do.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
The weekend is mine, so I was your weekend. I
had two games so could not travel. Plus my daughter
came home from New York for eight days, which was wonderful.
My other daughter was home from college in San Luis Obispo.
So that was the big win. I don't know, just
(43:24):
surfed even though the surf sucked and it was raining.
Preston had quite a few shows, so that was fun.
Heard it. Nine three twenty Main did Christmas at the
brother in law's. His light display was Griswold. Ask did
he he won? He pointed out to me, he goes,
you see that, and right there up on his his
(43:44):
second story balcony was the banner that said sweepstakes, and
I said, what's sweepstakes? He goes, what's sweepstakes? That's the
prize of all the awards handed out and the Honey
Harbor Boat Parade sweep steaks is the prize that everyone
longs to win. Big City Council meeting tomorrow nine and
(44:07):
he won it this year, so congratulations to him. I
did a lot of baking and cooking. I baked some
Grandma's candy, like the old Bronx white nougat with the
gum drops in the middle that we're a big hit.
I baked a key lime cheesecake that was not a
big hit. I made some sluice meat sliders by request
that came out pretty well. And the big win though,
(44:32):
was pizza inspired by Dave's pizza oven on Instagram. I
got a pizza steel and I started using my oven
in the house to make pizzas. And let me tell you,
feeling pretty good about the four pizzas I have now made.
I mean, how many pizzas can you bang out? If
you had like a pizza night, could you have people over?
I could bang out pizza. I could bang out enough
(44:53):
for everybody. Yeah, they're cooking. I got a nice, like
a twelve inch pie. That thing is cooking in about
seven to eight minutes. So by the time we're cutting
it and you're getting a taste of what's going next,
one is in there. You got like five or six
guys being like, hey, Mac, can you make me one
with all of them?
Speaker 3 (45:09):
The garlic we could do that. This Canadian bage, we
could do that. That steel gets hot, the air gets
Because you know, my brother in law is a real
artisanal guy. I can't imagine my pizzas would taste anywhere
here as.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Good as he had.
Speaker 3 (45:20):
An Italian guy going to his freaking backyard and built
one of those pizza ovens, Like he's got a brick oven.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Mine is just an oven that you pull open, and
it's got a piece of steel in it that gets
that crust all nice and crispy and airy on the inside.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Just like the BJ's perfect mix, just like the remix
remix one legendary remix. Uh.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
My nephew came into town because he went to IU
for the game. I took him to Jost's and the
Pelican Isle to see a band I had never seen
that I cannot recommend enough. They play around town a
lot there called Bluebirds Byrdes. I'd say, a bunch of
guys in their twenties to play a lot of Almond Brothers. Okay,
a couple of crunchy groovers. I ate something that was
way too potent and I had to do an Irish
exit because it really started hitting me too hard. It
(46:02):
was like, what has happened? Gotta be careful, man, I
really do. I was like, Nephew, we gotta go. And
then I went home and my wife started asking me
to do all this stuff and I was like, I
gotta get out of here. I can't be here either.
You go stand on the beach and freak out. I
want to watch this movie. And I told him to
leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
I've been waiting a little day to watch us. All right,
It's not like my thirteen year old my week see
boys put up a new the post.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
It's like, we got to get out of here. I
love the Bluebirds. I was like, we gotta go. They
started doing Traveling Man and I was like, I think
they oh k peach front the back. How about your
h how about your weekend? I slashed vacation there.
Speaker 4 (46:46):
Katie didn't do a lot of guys as the rain caused, uh,
you've got ja.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
Santa Anita got washed out. That's your whole week.
Speaker 4 (46:53):
We were supposed to go on New Year's Eve. Andrew
the ahead of marketing and Santa Anida, a big fan
of Great Sports Talk, had us a box ready to
go to watch racing, but it was rained out on
New Year's Eve. Instead, we took a party of sixteen
to Don Kucko's for a little dinner on New Year's Eve,
watched Stranger Things Finale. Before that, though, girls went to
the Chargers Texans game, got them tickets for that final
(47:15):
home game for the Chargers at SOFI the racket is
parking and had to pay ninety two dollars on stub
Hub to the park at Forum for parking because I
was the closest and safest for them to go that
was near so far, and it turned out it was
really close, so it worked out. But again, just spend
a lot of time watching shows fall Out on Amazon Prime,
(47:35):
Mine Hunters, I'm getting caught up on. I know there's
three seasons. I'm on season one, getting caught up on that.
Hung out a lot with friends and threw it is.
I'm on season one though, so I'm a little behind anxiety.
The rain caused the ticket market to drop out for
the Rose Bowl Game, so two of the girls went
with some friends to the Rose Bowl Game to see
Indiana and Alabama at eighty dollars a pop.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
They were four hundred dollars tickets that were on the
stub hub for eighty dollars, so uh, well done. Other
than that, just worked a couple of sundays. Raiders broadcast
ended yesterday, shot congratulations. Not a great season on the field,
but of course the radio broadcast myself in studio, so yeah,
a lot of lot of fun with the Raiders this year.
(48:19):
So thanks to Jonas Knox, by the way, who I
don't know about you guys, but he sent me a
box of Chicago pizzas lumin het of a bitch. Ronnie
got one too.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
Didn't send me, didn't send me anything.
Speaker 4 (48:32):
Blockmore got one too. Oh my gosh, I thought it
was the only one that got.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
Something that's not cheap. By the way, it's about a
hundred bucks to send you three pies from mal knot Pie.
Eventually he sent one to Mario Saliz.
Speaker 4 (48:44):
No doubt it was a three pies, but it was
an apple pie. And then to Pizza Pie. Interesting, Yes,
are you kidding me? I thought it was the only
one that got was the.
Speaker 5 (48:53):
Sausage and the cheese the deep dish delicious by the way.
He polished both of them off over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (49:00):
That was my vacation, Ronny.
Speaker 5 (49:02):
Guys, it was a fun holiday season despite all the
crazy rain. Christmas Eve was spent at my house with
the family. My wife made a ribi roast with potato salad.
Mag She was quite the spread, guys. We also had
to Molly's in a ton like Matt a ton of
baked goods, lots of spiked egg nog as well. That
(49:22):
did lead to a bit of Christmas karaoke. Christmas Day,
stayed in with the family. That's why I moved on quickly.
And New Year's we gathered at my son Julian's place,
where we had a great time ringing in the festivities
together with family and friends to welcome in the new year.
And there was a great deal of karaoke going on
(49:45):
that night as well.
Speaker 2 (49:46):
So I'll move on quickly, I'd imagine it already made
its way through the holiday.
Speaker 5 (49:55):
So New Year's Day we spent putting Christmas away and
listening to the rhythm of the falling rain. This past Saturday,
in the pouring rain, I took my car to have
new tires put on a discount tire right here in Burbank,
And a shout out to Chris Chris for all his
help and getting me in and out as soon as
possible in this wacky weather that I went home immediately
(50:18):
afterwards and stayed home for the remainder of the weekend
to avoid the flooded streets.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
A wow, we are very affected by the weather, Ronnie.
Wit Lest we forget the time that you almost died
from dehydration while you're washing your car and in the
valley heat.
Speaker 5 (50:31):
Well, you know, when I left my car at the
discount tires. It was pouring the guy said two hours,
so there was nowhere for me to go. So, if
you're familiar with the Burbank area, I walked across the
street and the pouring rain.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
Five points right there. McDonald's got Costco. That's right, that's right.
Speaker 5 (50:47):
I went to Costco and sauntered around for like an
hour and a half, walking around gathering up samples.
Speaker 4 (50:53):
And there's a gun range about a half block away.
Speaker 5 (50:55):
You know, Tim, you know, I did think about it.
It was raining too hard, though, so I just walked
to McDonald's afterward, got a coffee, and by that time
my car was ready.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
So there you go.
Speaker 4 (51:04):
All right, that was my holiday weekend. Jonas really sent
you one?
Speaker 5 (51:07):
Yeah, Jonas Knox sent me up a special care package.
Lou mal Natti's I.
Speaker 2 (51:12):
Mean, if Ronnie's gonna get it, I feel like we
should get it when one of us leave. That's how
he makes his extra scratch.
Speaker 5 (51:17):
Jonas has got some christ tools.
Speaker 4 (51:19):
Jonas, I spent thirty minutes trying to figure out who
sent that to me. We went on FEDIX, tried to
do reverse like labeled searching, and then all of a sudden,
Joe's like I see it was delivered very Christmas.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
Did the same thing.
Speaker 5 (51:30):
He sent me a text message shortly afterwards and he said, so,
I see you got a package delivered a last night, he.
Speaker 3 (51:37):
Was celebrating the twenty years on the Challenge that he
never did twenty years behind him.
Speaker 2 (51:44):
Get guarded after Mark the Kenseko Brothers when they're like
a combined six hundred and forty home runs, Jose's got
six thirty nine and his brothers got one. Did Olivia
Garvey get in a fight with him? No?
Speaker 4 (51:58):
No, but did with the last show, and it's a
little contentious at the end. I couldn't stop watching what happened.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (52:02):
She kind of got after Mario because Mario made a
comment to her about something she wore the past episode.
And then I don't remember if he's a fashionating side.
Did he say it was like too risque or something.
He had a mink jacket on I think last night,
and they were making fun of him.
Speaker 2 (52:16):
He looked like a real tool.
Speaker 4 (52:17):
And then he said something and she goes, well, for
a guy who's never been to in and out had
a burger there. He's like, well, well, on what you
meet you know, Mario, watch what I eat and all this.
It was really really contentious. I shouldn't watch, yes, not
for the content, but just for them going back and forth.
Speaker 3 (52:32):
As much as we love Mario Soleiz, he's not exactly
the best improvisational man out there. Though in the La
Local media, I've always got very nice. He's a nice,
very nice man. Even though he looks like an aged
member of the Menudo band and dresses like that, he
is a nice person. No, he looks like Lobamba. He
looks like the guy. The actor Diamond Phillips is sim Morales. Okay,
(52:59):
uh was your break Well? We had a standard Papadaca's
Christmas at my father's Christmas even breakfast, which of course
I ended angrily.
Speaker 2 (53:10):
My kids won't listen to me. I saw. I went
to the desert and saw Utopia two with my family.
How was that?
Speaker 3 (53:18):
I noticed one thing, and one thing only the ass
on that bunny. They put this as they put the bunny,
and I noticed this In Utopia one, they packed that
bunny's ass played by Jennifer Goodwin, an adult bunny. They
pack her ass into like some bunny looking yoga pants
with their little tail coming out, and they have her
wiggle in her ass the whole movie and they act
(53:38):
like that's no big deal, like you're not supposed to
look at this, like we've made this shapely bunny ass
and it ain't no big deal. I know what they're doing.
And I said after the movie to my family, I said,
why we're at the yardhouse? Of course, I said, and no,
I did not get the yard of beer. You didn't
(53:59):
get the one you spin no, And I did it,
but my wife said, who orders that?
Speaker 2 (54:03):
How do you drink it? I was like, my wife,
you have to spin it to I pulled the bottom
like a nob, like your misagence of what sack?
Speaker 1 (54:14):
No.
Speaker 3 (54:14):
I mentioned in my family and Judy's the name of
the buddy played by Jennifer Goodwin. I mentioned my family
and I said, why was it all bunny ass? And
my daughter and wife are like what, And my son
who's thirteen, was like, yes, it was all ass.
Speaker 4 (54:29):
I was like, yeah, I take my eyes off that ass.
Speaker 3 (54:31):
As I returned home from fighting with my kids in
the desert to fighting with them at home, and then
my nephew and godson, Johnny and his fiance Dylan, it's
to chick And if it wasn't, he'd be okay, it'd
be fine if it was. They weren't down for Vegas,
(54:54):
which was nice. We went to church Saint Catherine Greek
Orthodox and Redondo family lunch at the HT Grill with
my father yesterday.
Speaker 2 (55:03):
How was that? I ordered?
Speaker 3 (55:04):
I think another Greyhound and he might have told the
waitress don't it's like cut me off.
Speaker 2 (55:09):
I was like one, I can't have two. And you
know he didn't even pick up. Did they pour a
stiff drink there at the HT Grill?
Speaker 3 (55:20):
No, dude, My my cousin Anna and Mike, the Roblest family,
they undercut the dawn on the bill and I thought
he was gonna flip the table.
Speaker 2 (55:28):
But he's too old. He's too tired, too damn old,
too f and blind. But if I was the man
I was twenty years ago, today, I take it and
throw it at this place.
Speaker 4 (55:38):
So you guys got nothing from Jonas huh No, No,
did not.
Speaker 2 (55:43):
Get You know what I got.
Speaker 3 (55:44):
I got him taking credit for the eighteen years of
work I did on NBC.
Speaker 2 (55:48):
That's what I got, right, he got too, though, twenty
years I mean, that's that's that's an expensive present, man. Yeah,
it comes in that dry ice like to hear that
they're fighting on the challenge. Me too, just coming apart.
You've never even had in and out. Oh god, I'm
(56:08):
a vegetarian.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
You know that.
Speaker 2 (56:11):
You can't share that.
Speaker 3 (56:12):
We got to find it pretty hard to relate to
his sports watching audience, Mario, when you don't even eat
meat and you dress like some kind of weirdo.
Speaker 2 (56:19):
You're in a mink coat. Freak.
Speaker 3 (56:22):
You're in a waist length mink coat. Liberachi didn't do
local news. You have freaking wirdo.
Speaker 2 (56:29):
That your jeans are the sparkliest. So congratulations. We'll be
back with your word number Song of the Day.
