Speaker 2 (00:40):
Grab your DUTs.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Our otter hashtag bless to talk to.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Really, I just think one of the one of the
greatest celebrity guests in sports talk radio history, a guy
that Jackson. You can confirm every producer in the country
is just lining up to beg this man to join
their little measley, stupid ass show, to maybe potentially driver
for a few minutes and then go on to their
same miserable self they had before. An unbelievable father, incredible husband,
(01:09):
and one damn fine Greek American. It's our Buddy Petros Papadocus,
brought to you by.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The one and all these tweet James. I'm on the
phone old school style tonight, Sweet James can come through
for you if you've ever been in a car accident
or a motorcycle accident, but perhaps the dam there's bitten
your balls, whatever has happened. Sweet Chanmes knows the ancient
secrets in which to unlock the money you deserve from
your insurance company. Give me a call at eight hundred
(01:37):
and nine million or sweet day dot com.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
How going good?
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Explain to people why you're on the phone and not
the typical crystal clear com rex connection that we often enjoy.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Well, I wanted a tape with you earlier today and
that wasn't available, And I just got done with my
show out in El Segundo at the Chargers camp at
their new Chargers facility, the Bolt It's called in El Segundo.
El Segundo is a very small community in the South
(02:12):
Bay between the La Airport and Tony Manhattan Beach. El
Segundo means the second because in I think it was
like the turn of the century. Two centuries ago, Chevron
or Standard Oil had their second West coast plant here
(02:33):
and basically built the city around it. That's el segundo.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Holy cow, I had no idea. Now here's the thing.
You could be making that whole thing up, but all
of us would buy it. That's a hell of a
story making it up.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Wow, I'm not I'm not making it up. It's a Also,
you have a lot of people who work at Boeing
and raytheon and a lot of the aerospace and building
missiles to shoot at Kanafi kind of stuff. Do you know?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Do you know where the name Seattle came from? Any
idea where the name Seattle came from?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I always thought it was a Native American name having
something to do with the totem pole near the underground
from that great Scooby Doo episode.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Not from that episode, but a different episode that includes
a guy named Chief Self who was the chief I
believe the of the Dwamish people back in the day,
and so they took Selth and they got Seattle from that.
So it's got nothing to do with Scooby Doo or
any other cartoon out there. But how how, my numbingly
boring is that Chargers training camp from your perspective.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, did it have anything to do with Russell Wilson
saying hey settle No, okay, all right.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Now I'm looking for that drop by the way, the
hell yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
There it is. You know, football practice, or anybody's football
practice in a high level is all spread out. And
I mean they had a nine on seven. I didn't
walk over and look at it. It was only a
two hour show. They brought dayon Henley, the linebacker from
Washington State played at Nevada. Great guy by and JK. Dobbins,
(04:14):
the running back who's come there from Baltimore, and the
other Harbaugh family. We talked to him, and we talked
to Aloie Gilman, the safety who's from Notre Dame. So
we talked a few guys, chopped up about camp, made
fun of the La Metro system, and now we're done.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Yeah, those all sound like ratings grabbers, by the way,
all those conversations.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Man, it's in the contract to go out to ARCT.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Well, how's how's old Jimmy Harbob been towards the media.
I mean, it's a guy that was pretty stand offish
when he was in San Francisco, and I don't know
how he was in Michigan. But you know, he was
going to go out and be the honorary captain for
the Fresno game in a couple of weeks, and they
pulled the plug on that because they don't want to
piss off the NCAA even more. And now is Mommy
and Daddy, jack and Jackie gonna go represent him instead.
(05:03):
But how's how's Jimmy harbod been with the media so
far down there?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Well, as you know, I would say the Seattle media
is even tougher and has more sharp teeth, as I've
said many times on your show than the LA media.
The LA media is pretty soft and much more of
kind of like a propaganda arm, you know, stroking off
(05:29):
guys like Lebron and stuff like that. That's LA media
has always been like that. It's part of the city,
and we used to have a tougher media that really
scrutinized things like sc and UCLA football. But every once
in a while some reporter will get a wild hair
about something. But you better really be on the hot
(05:49):
seat to get the LA media's higher up against you.
Except for that time Lincoln Riley tried to suspend that reporter.
That's that's how bad Lincoln Riley's decision was there. I mean,
how do you piss off the LA media. It's the
most docile, compliant media in the sports world out there,
and gosh, I would even argue the sports media is
(06:10):
probably a lot tougher towards certain people than are mainstream media,
which is an absolute joke in today's day and age.
But I digress. Harbaugh out here seems like a more
kinder and gentler Harbaugh in some ways, unless somebody pushes
him about an injury. But as far as my relationship goes,
(06:32):
I know Harball, so it's a little bit different. You know,
I knew him when he was in USD, So I'm
not as I'm not as starstruck about all the things
he's accomplished as a coach since he's become a coach,
and he's accomplished a lot. Yeah, and it'll be interesting
to see what the Chargers will be like. I have
no gauge on it. And that guy Justin Herbert's in a.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Boot right now.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yah, And Sheena Easton, you idiots, what about Sena Easton?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I mean, we're technically looking for an Easton first name.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I guess in that conversation, but I'll allow it. I'll
allow it. I will allow it.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Good work out of you, Yes she did, Yes she did.
That is a that is a good call.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I need you two of hearts, two hearts that he
has wanted to.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I need you, I need you.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I will allow it.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I think Jim Harbaugh is gonna do very very well
with the Chargers. I think he's gonna win. He's gonna
win fast in LA. And I would not be surprised
if that team Petros, I swear to you in the
super Bowl within two seasons in LA. That's how fast
it it'll go. He'll win really quick.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Well, i'll give you my radio partner's number. He's the
voice balls. You guys could have a real session.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Well, he's got to be just as full of propaganda
as the rest of the LA media. If he's doing
the Charges play by play, if madness, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Mean if you work for somebody, I mean working for
a team, as you know, and that's one thing I
don't really do. I mean as a station. We work
with the Dodgers, but I mean the other night, Oral
herscheizer on the air said that I'm a baseball expert,
and he was being facetious. You know, all these people
(08:16):
texted me like oral said, you're a baseball expert. It's like, yeah,
he's joking, Like, no one takes me seriously to talk
about baseball or anything like that. But I'm really glad
and maybe one day I will that I don't work
for a team like sc or UCLA or something like
that where they get all butt hurt about every single
little thing you say and get all scared about what
(08:39):
you might say and basically you live under their thumb
like the Rolling Stone song, and that's no way to live,
as you know.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Yeah, well, but it sounds like, at least for you
and USC. Ever, since you're a little sitting down with
Jen Cohen that you know, maybe there's been an olive
branch and things are starting to develop where down the
road you might have a relationship once again with your
alma mater.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, if they gave me a job, I take it.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You want your pa gig back?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Maybe, well, Jen, I mean that would be an olive branch. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Jen Cohen calls you up, Hey, Petronks, we'd like to
give you back your women's basketball PA job. Would you
take it? Women's I thought you did women's games. You
did men's games.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Too, you know I might hang out.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I'm sorry, I thought you just did the women's basketball games.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I apologize profusely. No, we're doing everything I had.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I'd go do ju Ju. Yeah, that she's there, I'd
go do one of those games.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
I thought, Okay, so you did you know what, It's
been so long since you've done those games.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I forgot.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Hey did I ask you last week about Reggie Bush,
like ten years?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Well that's my point. It's been ten years. I mean, geez,
I'm sorry. I can't remember what I was doing this morning,
for God's sakes, let alone somebody else's job ten years ago.
Did I ask you about Reggie Bush's heisman being back
on campus and how fired up you are for that?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, you tried to make a thing about that, And
I wasn't excited then, and I'm not excited now that
you've brought it up again. But if I was Jen Collen,
I would be really really worried about trying to bring
Reggie back there to celebrate them him and them in
turn and USC and the whole history and heritage, because
(10:28):
it's a great opportunity for Reggie to embezzle the university
and ask for money or something like that, which is
what OJ used to do back in the day because
he hated Mike Garrett, you know, before he was arrested
for murder and charge. When OJ would like have an
event or something, he would show up to if us
he didn't pay him like ten thousand dollars, he wouldn't
(10:50):
show up. He'd do like a video, which happened on
more than one occasion. So I'm sure us he's reluctant
to call Reggie because Reggie probably wants money because that's
the kind of guy. Reggie. Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I mean, I'm not trying to do anything.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
And by the way, just to just go back for
a second, Two of Hearts was by Stacy Q, not
by Sheena Eastern. So yeah, she did hits like for
your Eyes only. She did you got the look with
Prince morning Train.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Oh that's right. She was one of Princess Chit. Yeah,
like Vanity and those other.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
One almost over you telephone whatever, But that was Stacy Q.
I just want to correct the record, and I'm not
trying to do anything with Reggie Bush. I mean I'm not.
I mean, you just kind of went down this rat.
He's just a big horror that just wants money.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You've been pushing this weird Reggie Bush at Genda for
a couple of weeks now, trying to get me to
talk about it. I don't know why. And now you've
done it. You've got what you wanted. I hope it
was worth it.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
It was very much worth it, by the way, very
much worth it. You know, we got college football a
week from Saturday.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
You wear that.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
There's a game next Saturday, Florida State in Georgia Tech
at nine am. We're two weeks away from you dubbing
Weber State aut A.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
O are they at Ogden?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
So? Wait? Where are we a week away from week zero?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Yes, we're a week away from week zero, and we're
two weeks away, two weeks this Saturday away from the
Huskies going against against Weaver.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, all right, Well I have a week one game,
but not a week zero game. Fox has a week
zero game. I don't remember which one it is. I
think Kim Brando is on it, and they're going to
do that Ireland game. Huh.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Why not just call week zero week one and week
one week two?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I guess because week zero is such an odd Uh,
most people don't play it, so I guess it's not
it's not significant enough to say it's week one.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah, but don't you think college football misses the mark
by just not loading up on big games in the
first week? Like why not have a game on a
Wednesday night, a game on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
There's no NFL, right, I mean, everyone's had the entire
offseason to get ready for a game. Why not just
take the entire week and have a bunch of big
ass games in week one and let's get everybody fired up.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, I think you're starting to see the beginnings of that,
at least just with this Friday night game thing that
the Big Ten is trying to make happen, and you'll
see more and more of that competition for viewers on
Friday night, where a game that is not necessarily the
hottest game on a Saturday because it's only up against
(13:31):
one or two other things on a Friday, becomes quite
desirable and watched a great deal. That's actually we saw
that in the symposium at Fox or whatever they went
through how valuable that is. So basically, you're moving a
game that a lot of people wouldn't see because everybody's
watching something else the Friday night and that brings a
(13:54):
hell of a lot more eyeballs to it. But you know,
coaches don't like having their their schedule changed. So much
of college football, especially with the time constraints, is very
very tied down with how long you can be with
the players, and it's really really scheduled and routine oriented.
(14:16):
So maybe that's part of it. But I think you're
going to see a lot more competition for Friday night
viewers in the future. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Well, I love Friday that game selfishly, I think they're great.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
The fans don't like them in general terms, but I
think they're awesome.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Petros with us.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Did you enjoy the Olympic Games and Lebron getting embarrassed
by Leo Marshawn when he came to a basketball game
and everyone thought Lebron or Lebron thought it was him
they were cheering for.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Did you see that?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yes, Yeah, Lebron's today hole. You saw the way he
was with that little.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Kid, I saw that the club, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Really embracing his inner Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Lebron usually doesn't
cuss kids out on camera or get stern with them
on camera, but it happened there and then he's dancing
five seconds later like a jackass with basketball short song
walking into a Parisian club. The one thing I will
say about Friday night games softie for a place like
(15:14):
even Seattle, and you know there's just some places city
wise it doesn't work like Friday night at the Rose Bowl.
I mean what you know, Friday night at the LA
Coliseum with LA traffic and the way that is right.
You know, it's one thing to do it in Champagne
or Bana or Kinnick or places that they're going to
(15:38):
show up at that stadium no matter what day of
the week it is, but you really do have to
try to avoid it in these more metropolitan areas in
college football. That would be my only point about that.
And I'm glad the Olympics are over. I just can't
stop watching the Kangaroo. Australian are the breakdancer, breakdancer? Yeah,
(16:02):
break the breakdancer who was a professor in breakdancing, so
somebow that means you can break dance, yep, And she
embarrassed the entire country of Australia in one of their
proudest Olympics and like the most metals they've ever won.
All anybody's gonna remember is a stupid thirty six year
old weirdo who weaseled her way into the breakdancing.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Oh, give her a chance to do it again in
La breaking too, Electric Muggaloo remember that.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh, let's go turbo heat turbo.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Do you really need breakdancing as an Olympic sport? Do
you really need three on three basketball?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
No? No, or flag football or any of this dumb
ass stuff? Right? I mean, some of these sports are
cultural and you get it, like team handball or badminton
or second that might be more pompular. Crickets coming back.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
I'm shocked and had cricket has not been an Olympic
sports since like nineteen o eight, and that stuns the
hell out of me.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
But that's something that has popularity around the world, all right.
I mean, I guess I understand breakdancing if you're gonna
go out there with the ribbon and flapping around, or
go out there and catch a ball with your crotch
like they do in rhythmic gymnastics. You know, is there
a rhythmic gymnastics movie, Not that I know of, but
(17:26):
there's at least three. There's at least three breakdancing movies,
Breaking Breaking, two Electric Boogaloo, and don't forget about Beat Street.
That's what idea of the beat coming down the street,
Beat Street.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Petrose, you're the man, great stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
I'm glad you survived training camp with the Chargers and
Ell sagod noo.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
And we'll talk in a week. Man, see you pal.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Tell Dick that Sina Easton totally counts.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I will tell him and I'm allowing it, so it's
not even necessary.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
There's a great pull by you. You're the man.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Petros Papadoaka is with us. We're gonna break a lot
more to get to include Larry Stone back at five
on ninety three three kJ RFM

Speaker 4 (07:02):
I mean, we're technically looking for an Easton first name.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I guess in that conversation, but I'll allow it. I'll
allow it. I will allow it.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Good work out of you, Yes she did, Yes she did.
That is a that is a good call.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I need you two of hearts, two hearts that he
has wanted to.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I need you, I need you.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I will allow it.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I think Jim Harbaugh is gonna do very very well
with the Chargers. I think he's gonna win. He's gonna
win fast in LA. And I would not be surprised
if that team Petros, I swear to you in the
super Bowl within two seasons in LA. That's how fast
it it'll go. He'll win really quick.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Well, i'll give you my radio partner's number. He's the
voice balls. You guys could have a real session.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Well, he's got to be just as full of propaganda
as the rest of the LA media. If he's doing
the Charges play by play, if madness, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Mean if you work for somebody, I mean working for
a team, as you know, and that's one thing I
don't really do. I mean as a station. We work
with the Dodgers, but I mean the other night, Oral
herscheizer on the air said that I'm a baseball expert,
and he was being facetious. You know, all these people
(08:16):
texted me like oral said, you're a baseball expert. It's like, yeah,
he's joking, Like, no one takes me seriously to talk
about baseball or anything like that. But I'm really glad
and maybe one day I will that I don't work
for a team like sc or UCLA or something like
that where they get all butt hurt about every single
little thing you say and get all scared about what
(08:39):
you might say and basically you live under their thumb
like the Rolling Stone song, and that's no way to live,
as you know.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Yeah, well, but it sounds like, at least for you
and USC. Ever, since you're a little sitting down with
Jen Cohen that you know, maybe there's been an olive
branch and things are starting to develop where down the
road you might have a relationship once again with your
alma mater.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, if they gave me a job, I take it.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You want your pa gig back?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Maybe, well, Jen, I mean that would be an olive branch. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Jen Cohen calls you up, Hey, Petronks, we'd like to
give you back your women's basketball PA job. Would you
take it? Women's I thought you did women's games. You
did men's games.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Too, you know I might hang out.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I'm sorry, I thought you just did the women's basketball games.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I apologize profusely. No, we're doing everything I had.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I'd go do ju Ju. Yeah, that she's there, I'd
go do one of those games.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
I thought, Okay, so you did you know what, It's
been so long since you've done those games.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I forgot.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Hey did I ask you last week about Reggie Bush,
like ten years?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Well that's my point. It's been ten years. I mean, geez,
I'm sorry. I can't remember what I was doing this morning,
for God's sakes, let alone somebody else's job ten years ago.
Did I ask you about Reggie Bush's heisman being back
on campus and how fired up you are for that?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, you tried to make a thing about that, And
I wasn't excited then, and I'm not excited now that
you've brought it up again. But if I was Jen Collen,
I would be really really worried about trying to bring
Reggie back there to celebrate them him and them in
turn and USC and the whole history and heritage, because
(10:28):
it's a great opportunity for Reggie to embezzle the university
and ask for money or something like that, which is
what OJ used to do back in the day because
he hated Mike Garrett, you know, before he was arrested
for murder and charge. When OJ would like have an
event or something, he would show up to if us
he didn't pay him like ten thousand dollars, he wouldn't
(10:50):
show up. He'd do like a video, which happened on
more than one occasion. So I'm sure us he's reluctant
to call Reggie because Reggie probably wants money because that's
the kind of guy. Reggie. Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I mean, I'm not trying to do anything.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
And by the way, just to just go back for
a second, Two of Hearts was by Stacy Q, not
by Sheena Eastern. So yeah, she did hits like for
your Eyes only. She did you got the look with
Prince morning Train.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Oh that's right. She was one of Princess Chit. Yeah,
like Vanity and those other.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
One almost over you telephone whatever, But that was Stacy Q.
I just want to correct the record, and I'm not
trying to do anything with Reggie Bush. I mean I'm not.
I mean, you just kind of went down this rat.
He's just a big horror that just wants money.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You've been pushing this weird Reggie Bush at Genda for
a couple of weeks now, trying to get me to
talk about it. I don't know why. And now you've
done it. You've got what you wanted. I hope it
was worth it.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
It was very much worth it, by the way, very
much worth it. You know, we got college football a
week from Saturday.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
You wear that.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
There's a game next Saturday, Florida State in Georgia Tech
at nine am. We're two weeks away from you dubbing
Weber State aut A.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
O are they at Ogden?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
So? Wait? Where are we a week away from week zero?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Yes, we're a week away from week zero, and we're
two weeks away, two weeks this Saturday away from the
Huskies going against against Weaver.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, all right, Well I have a week one game,
but not a week zero game. Fox has a week
zero game. I don't remember which one it is. I
think Kim Brando is on it, and they're going to
do that Ireland game. Huh.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Why not just call week zero week one and week
one week two?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I guess because week zero is such an odd Uh,
most people don't play it, so I guess it's not
it's not significant enough to say it's week one.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah, but don't you think college football misses the mark
by just not loading up on big games in the
first week? Like why not have a game on a
Wednesday night, a game on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
There's no NFL, right, I mean, everyone's had the entire
offseason to get ready for a game. Why not just
take the entire week and have a bunch of big
ass games in week one and let's get everybody fired up.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, I think you're starting to see the beginnings of that,
at least just with this Friday night game thing that
the Big Ten is trying to make happen, and you'll
see more and more of that competition for viewers on
Friday night, where a game that is not necessarily the
hottest game on a Saturday because it's only up against
(13:31):
one or two other things on a Friday, becomes quite
desirable and watched a great deal. That's actually we saw
that in the symposium at Fox or whatever they went
through how valuable that is. So basically, you're moving a
game that a lot of people wouldn't see because everybody's
watching something else the Friday night and that brings a
(13:54):
hell of a lot more eyeballs to it. But you know,
coaches don't like having their their schedule changed. So much
of college football, especially with the time constraints, is very
very tied down with how long you can be with
the players, and it's really really scheduled and routine oriented.
(14:16):
So maybe that's part of it. But I think you're
going to see a lot more competition for Friday night
viewers in the future. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Well, I love Friday that game selfishly, I think they're great.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
The fans don't like them in general terms, but I
think they're awesome.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Petros with us.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Did you enjoy the Olympic Games and Lebron getting embarrassed
by Leo Marshawn when he came to a basketball game
and everyone thought Lebron or Lebron thought it was him
they were cheering for.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Did you see that?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yes, Yeah, Lebron's today hole. You saw the way he
was with that little.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Kid, I saw that the club, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Really embracing his inner Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Lebron usually doesn't
cuss kids out on camera or get stern with them
on camera, but it happened there and then he's dancing
five seconds later like a jackass with basketball short song
walking into a Parisian club. The one thing I will
say about Friday night games softie for a place like
(15:14):
even Seattle, and you know there's just some places city
wise it doesn't work like Friday night at the Rose Bowl.
I mean what you know, Friday night at the LA
Coliseum with LA traffic and the way that is right.
You know, it's one thing to do it in Champagne
or Bana or Kinnick or places that they're going to
(15:38):
show up at that stadium no matter what day of
the week it is, but you really do have to
try to avoid it in these more metropolitan areas in
college football. That would be my only point about that.
And I'm glad the Olympics are over. I just can't
stop watching the Kangaroo. Australian are the breakdancer, breakdancer? Yeah,
(16:02):
break the breakdancer who was a professor in breakdancing, so
somebow that means you can break dance, yep, And she
embarrassed the entire country of Australia in one of their
proudest Olympics and like the most metals they've ever won.
All anybody's gonna remember is a stupid thirty six year
old weirdo who weaseled her way into the breakdancing.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Oh, give her a chance to do it again in
La breaking too, Electric Muggaloo remember that.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh, let's go turbo heat turbo.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Do you really need breakdancing as an Olympic sport? Do
you really need three on three basketball?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
No? No, or flag football or any of this dumb
ass stuff? Right? I mean, some of these sports are
cultural and you get it, like team handball or badminton
or second that might be more pompular. Crickets coming back.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
I'm shocked and had cricket has not been an Olympic
sports since like nineteen o eight, and that stuns the
hell out of me.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
But that's something that has popularity around the world, all right.
I mean, I guess I understand breakdancing if you're gonna
go out there with the ribbon and flapping around, or
go out there and catch a ball with your crotch
like they do in rhythmic gymnastics. You know, is there
a rhythmic gymnastics movie, Not that I know of, but
(17:26):
there's at least three. There's at least three breakdancing movies,
Breaking Breaking, two Electric Boogaloo, and don't forget about Beat Street.
That's what idea of the beat coming down the street,
Beat Street.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Petrose, you're the man, great stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
I'm glad you survived training camp with the Chargers and
Ell sagod noo.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
And we'll talk in a week. Man, see you pal.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Tell Dick that Sina Easton totally counts.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I will tell him and I'm allowing it, so it's
not even necessary.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
There's a great pull by you. You're the man.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Petros Papadoaka is with us. We're gonna break a lot
more to get to include Larry Stone back at five
on ninety three three kJ RFM
