Speaker 2 (00:04):
Petros Papa nakas.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
That I'm a smart guy, I'm stupid.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Brought to you by Sweet James Accident Attorneys forty one years.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
If you're hurting an accident, called Sweet James right away
at eight hundred, five hundred and fifty two hundred. Sweet
James will be sweet to you, but tough on insurance
companies that will bully you. I don't know now with
Petros Peers, Dave Softie Muller.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Alrighty, boys and girls, here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Feels like it's been forever since I had a chance
to talk to this man.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Not around last week, but man, am I sure glad
to be back talking to him today. A sports talk
legend in Southern California, one damn fine Greek American usc legend,
radio superstar, one half of the fabled Petros and Money
Show in Southern California, husband of the month, Father of
the Week, and my friend Petros Papadacus brought to you Bye, Sweet.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
James, the dense beard of justice, a man that knows
what to do if you've ever been in a car
accident or a motorcycle accident. If some insurance company owes
you money, Sweet Times can come through for you at
eight hundred and nine million. That's eight hundred and nine million,
or sweet James dot com. They're there twenty four to
seven and you don't pay until you settle.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Hello, softy, how are you. Did you enjoy dick last week?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I loved it good.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Every once in a while, I gotta get a piece,
put my stalking on and stick it out in the gutter,
go to the red light district.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Oh God, you know I missed you, mane as I
was sitting there.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
In the uh Wailea area of Maui, sitting on the
deck and joining a turkey club from the famous eight
oh eight Deli in Kei. Hey, I thought to myself,
this is fantastic, but man, it would be so much
better if I could just chat with my friend Petros didn't.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Oh, you didn't think that, You didn't think about me
at all, which I did. I'm glad you enjoyed your
time in Maui or annual or bi annual trip to
Hawaii with your lovely wife.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I hope it was everything you wanted to be. Welcome home.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Not much of it has changed what what the hell's
going on down there?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Am I?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Am?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I reading this right?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
That like Lebron hates Luca? Is that what I'm seeing
from your Twitter account? I saw where you put a
video where Luca made some big shot and Lebron gave
him some kind of a staredown or whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
There's always all kinds of weird little videos of interaction
on the Lakers bench, and interaction between Lebron and his teammates,
and interaction with Bronny when he's there, and interaction with
JJ Reddick, who's a salty guy, like beef Jerky level salty.
So there's a lot of problem. He's very arrogant, salty,
(02:59):
good look and white guy. You don't want to hear
it from you, I mean, compared to him, you and
I are like the guy from Mask.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Oh, Rocky Dennis.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah, come on man, yeah, man, I'm sorry. I know
you want to bring me a Loha spirit back to
Seattle Radio for a few weeks since you're in a
good mood. But anyway, it's yeah, it's a gnarly scene,
and the inevitable happens, and it happens locally, and it
(03:32):
happens nationally. The Lakers are kind of exactly where you
don't want to be in the NBA world.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
And I don't need to.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Explain this to you, because well maybe I do, because
the only place you want to be in the NBA
world is.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Involved, That's right.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
That's not having a team, yeah, but and having your
team stripped from you like clothes, your garnet garment just
rended in front of you.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Like a family member just yanked away, yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Just ripped off. And now you're in the cold and the.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Way.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Well, I mean, I have another point to make. Remind
me of it. But you don't want to be in
the middle in the NBA. Right.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
When the Lakers have bad teams that come here, they
beat him. Any team that's kind of equal or better
than them, they lose. So if they have a couple
of games in a row against bad teams and they win,
the media cycle washes Lebron's balls and says how great
Lebron is because half of them work for Lebron or
don't want to fall out of favor with clutch sports.
(04:32):
And then when they lose a few games, the media
comes out and says Lebron's forty one what do you
want from him?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
And lucas bitch.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
He goes bitching at the refs and he is you know,
Luca does bitch a lot at the refs. But I
don't think Luca likes playing with Lebron. I don't think
Austin Reeves likes playing with Lebron. I don't think anybody
likes playing with Lebron. And I think I made this
analogy at some point on your show or not. It
does feel like Lebron is like a teenage kid who's
(05:02):
leaving for college and the parents just can't wait for
him to leave so they can remake that bedroom into
what they want, and they can't. I mean, how can
you do that when you have a guy who's forty
one years old who makes fifty million dollars on your roster.
You just you're not going to be able to win,
and he's not your best player by far, You're just
not going to be able. And La doesn't have enough
(05:24):
of a connection with Lebron for people to be comfortable
with the victory lap, kind of like Kobe took for
his final year, and there wasn't a lot of people
that love that either. But at least Kobe Bryant was
a Laker through and through. Lebron comes off as a
mercenary or a carpetbagger, and he's always trying to change
the narrative by something he says in the media, like,
(05:44):
I'm not a numbers guy. Dude, you literally wore a
shirt that said check my stats. There's pictures of you
checking your stats at halftime and during the game. Oh
come on, yeah, And then he says, well, you know,
I'm not. What was the other thing a couple of
years back, when Jay J. Redick was still a podcaster
and not an NBA head coach. JJ Redick was still
(06:04):
in the U ten area of coaching, and Lebron said
something to the effect of, you know, they had an
argument about, you know, what's this ring culture? Maybe it
was with Steve Nash, and I don't understand this ring.
You don't understand ring culture. The guy that has left
three different places chasing rings, the guy that counted on
his hand how many rings you were gonna get. I mean,
(06:24):
it's it's an amazing hypocrisy and we live it every
day here in LA. So it'll be fun when he's
I mean, I don't know, I'll miss him when he's
gone because.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I miss talking about him. Yeah, anything else?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Oh god, I love it. What was your point? You
had a point about the Sonics or whatever you said.
Remind me when you were twisting the knife you said,
oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
The the MLB, with all its problems or whatever, has
lurched past the NBA when it comes to sports national
sports popularity. The MLB has taken it, especially here in LA,
which is hard to believe because the Lakers are a
big deal. Wait, you're telling me that Major League Baseball
(07:06):
is more popular than the NBA across the country or
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You're talking about both. Okay, is that true?
Speaker 6 (07:15):
No?
Speaker 5 (07:15):
No, No, it's generally accepted that Major League Baseball has
made a comeback. ESPN hasn't helped. I mean, they screwed
up the Monday Night Baseball thing and they lost that contract,
and now the MLB is going to be other places.
But they have lurch But it's not because the MLB
is doing something so well. It's because the NBA is
so stupid and continues to stab themselves in the genitals
(07:38):
with an ice pick all the time, like they had
a great product and they've just they've found different ways
to destroy it year in and year out. So I mean,
these guys are traveling all over the place, foul baiting
all day and night, constantly complaining to the officials. After
every play they do whirl their finger like you have
(08:01):
to look at it at the appeal to the bench, Yeah,
to replay it, you know, like every receiver pops up
from a deep ball asking for a flag. It's I'm
over it. I think a lot of people are as well.
But uh yeah, the lebron thing couldn't end any sooner
here in LA. I just by the way, that that
ice pick to the balls thing that you just mentioned there,
(08:24):
that reminded me of remember the old Christopher guest Billy
Crystal skit on SNL back in the day, the old
I hate when that happens.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yes, remember that vaguely when you get your tongue stuck
in a red hot project the bull.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yes, I hear that.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I remember that.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
I just look, that's a that's a dig that's a
deep digging there.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Soft just reminded him.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I am I to make an Ed Grimley reference.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Yes, yes, I just looked it up on AI. MLB
is currently more popular than NBA in the United States
based on domestic television viewership, in person attendance, overall engagement metrics.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
See, we're not making it up.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
According to a post on Reddit, hey what.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
You wouldn't know that because you're not really up with
the NBA, because y'all don't have a team.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
You know what you man?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I have said here, hey.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
It's coming soon, right, and I have let you take
shot after unwarranted shot, and I've had enough.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Careful Kates is here. He might play that Toronto game seven.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Yeah, shut up, Kates, And I take back what I
said about your daughter's wedding.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Oh, come on, it was a nice event.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Did you go? Were you there?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I wasn't invited.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Really, your producer did not invite you to his own
daughters outside the states.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Gee, I wonder it was outside the states?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Were they underage?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
He talk?
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Yeah, they went down to Utah.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I had to leave the state line to pull it off.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Ruby's pretty. Ruby's only about twenty four. But the husband
guy like is like a much older man. Oh God,
rayer hair than me. You know what I watched by
the little awkward, I thought that the dance was the
daddy daughter dance.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
When I saw video.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
But you know, Katese's daughter's pretty interesting girl.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
She got a big neck tattoo the night before the
wedding of Bob BIG's Boys. Bob's Big Boys, you know,
because Bob's big boy. The wedding, Well, no, it's big
here in Burbank and that's where she's from. And she,
you know, she wanted to remember her home. So she
got a big Bob's Big Boy tattoo in her neck
and the husband didn't see it until he did the veil.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
It was Bob No no young in there.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Oh he endorsed.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Who doesn't love burgers and shakes them fry?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
What happened with this? Chad Baker Miszaara guy at USC.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
He got kicked off the team. He's twenty six years old.
I don't believe it's the first team that's kicked him off. Okay,
I think he got kicked out of San Diego State.
Why was he kicked off the team before he was
kicked out of Auburn? Refused out of both?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yeah, he sell Wait, I saw a post on Twitter.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
He says he's forty two years old, and yeah, somebody
said that he's from the Dominican.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Has six kids. That was false. That's not that's not true.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
He does look like sideshow Bob, and he did throw
a ball off a guy's face in the UCLA game
a couple of weeks a week ago.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
So he decides, he just says I'm done.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
He fell down, he was, He went over and sat
with injured players and fans behind the bench and did
not want to go back in. And then apparently afterwards
there was some kind of verbal altercation and he was
thrown off the team despite the one million dollars in
nil money.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Wow, And are they still paying them that money or
I hold not that money? You can retrieve, you should
be able to if a guy gets kicked off the
damn tea.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Well, I'm sure they're going to get there at some
point with the I mean, you guys dealt with it
with the legal part of this, and maybe you guys
were pioneers with the demand. Williams guy, that's right. But
one way or another, I'm sure it'll get worked out out.
But usually these guys get to keep their money and
no accountability necessary. Twenty six years old, straight out of
the Dominican No, I don't, but yeah, he's gone off
(12:10):
the team. I'm more of a mc cronin UCLA basket.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, I was gonna say I saw your boy, Mick cronin. Gee,
what day is it?
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Oh cronin's bitching again about something he was whining last night.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
But oh we're gonna get I say this on your
show again. We got Let me let me reiterate seen.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
The Grand Canyon ten times this year.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
It's a statue of liberty.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Let me let me reiterate my stance on Mick cronin
until he impregnates a fat white girl in the use
and he's not even married. Okay, until he impregnates a
fat white girl in the UCLA Athletic department right breaks
into her apartment off campus and holds a butter knife
(12:54):
to his throat.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I'm on mc cronin's.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Side, so out side of all that, that's you've got
his back.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
That is the that is the line that he could
cross money to best show him down.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Why why are you kissing his ass so.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Much petros and money to best show him down?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Because he says nice things about the show.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Did you hear that? You got a TV?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
You said that on TV? I did hear that?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Okay? Is that?
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Why just ask the question because he likes the show.
Listen to me, he's a little punk ass bitch. No, yeah,
I think you're crossing the line right now.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
If so. I saw what he did to that reporter.
That was ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You're raising your voice in me? Are you raising your voice?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, you sound like you're doing it right now.
Speaker 2 (13:40):

Speaker 5 (14:31):
No mud, The one thing I heard was Ferdy Mendoza
is like really big, and now everybody's excited about how
big Ferdy Mendoza measured out to be.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I kind of feel bad for that guy, to be
honest with you.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Why why you feel bad for Ferdy?

bad news. I remember his last game at Notre Dame. Yeah,
(15:08):

his final year, and there wasn't a lot of people
that love that either. But at least Kobe Bryant was
a Laker through and through. Lebron comes off as a
mercenary or a carpetbagger, and he's always trying to change
the narrative by something he says in the media, like,
(05:44):
I'm not a numbers guy. Dude, you literally wore a
shirt that said check my stats. There's pictures of you
checking your stats at halftime and during the game. Oh
come on, yeah, And then he says, well, you know,
I'm not. What was the other thing a couple of
years back, when Jay J. Redick was still a podcaster
and not an NBA head coach. JJ Redick was still
(06:04):
in the U ten area of coaching, and Lebron said
something to the effect of, you know, they had an
argument about, you know, what's this ring culture? Maybe it
was with Steve Nash, and I don't understand this ring.
You don't understand ring culture. The guy that has left
three different places chasing rings, the guy that counted on
his hand how many rings you were gonna get. I mean,
(06:24):
it's it's an amazing hypocrisy and we live it every
day here in LA. So it'll be fun when he's
I mean, I don't know, I'll miss him when he's
gone because.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I miss talking about him. Yeah, anything else?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Oh god, I love it. What was your point? You
had a point about the Sonics or whatever you said.
Remind me when you were twisting the knife you said,
oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
The the MLB, with all its problems or whatever, has
lurched past the NBA when it comes to sports national
sports popularity. The MLB has taken it, especially here in LA,
which is hard to believe because the Lakers are a
big deal. Wait, you're telling me that Major League Baseball
(07:06):
is more popular than the NBA across the country or
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You're talking about both. Okay, is that true?
Speaker 6 (07:15):
No?
Speaker 5 (07:15):
No, No, it's generally accepted that Major League Baseball has
made a comeback. ESPN hasn't helped. I mean, they screwed
up the Monday Night Baseball thing and they lost that contract,
and now the MLB is going to be other places.
But they have lurch But it's not because the MLB
is doing something so well. It's because the NBA is
so stupid and continues to stab themselves in the genitals
(07:38):
with an ice pick all the time, like they had
a great product and they've just they've found different ways
to destroy it year in and year out. So I mean,
these guys are traveling all over the place, foul baiting
all day and night, constantly complaining to the officials. After
every play they do whirl their finger like you have
(08:01):
to look at it at the appeal to the bench, Yeah,
to replay it, you know, like every receiver pops up
from a deep ball asking for a flag. It's I'm
over it. I think a lot of people are as well.
But uh yeah, the lebron thing couldn't end any sooner
here in LA. I just by the way, that that
ice pick to the balls thing that you just mentioned there,
(08:24):
that reminded me of remember the old Christopher guest Billy
Crystal skit on SNL back in the day, the old
I hate when that happens.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yes, remember that vaguely when you get your tongue stuck
in a red hot project the bull.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yes, I hear that.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I remember that.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
I just look, that's a that's a dig that's a
deep digging there.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Soft just reminded him.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I am I to make an Ed Grimley reference.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Yes, yes, I just looked it up on AI. MLB
is currently more popular than NBA in the United States
based on domestic television viewership, in person attendance, overall engagement metrics.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
See, we're not making it up.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
According to a post on Reddit, hey what.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
You wouldn't know that because you're not really up with
the NBA, because y'all don't have a team.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
You know what you man?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I have said here, hey.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
It's coming soon, right, and I have let you take
shot after unwarranted shot, and I've had enough.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Careful Kates is here. He might play that Toronto game seven.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Yeah, shut up, Kates, And I take back what I
said about your daughter's wedding.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Oh, come on, it was a nice event.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Did you go? Were you there?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I wasn't invited.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Really, your producer did not invite you to his own
daughters outside the states.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Gee, I wonder it was outside the states?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Were they underage?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
He talk?
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Yeah, they went down to Utah.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I had to leave the state line to pull it off.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Ruby's pretty. Ruby's only about twenty four. But the husband
guy like is like a much older man. Oh God,
rayer hair than me. You know what I watched by
the little awkward, I thought that the dance was the
daddy daughter dance.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
When I saw video.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
But you know, Katese's daughter's pretty interesting girl.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
She got a big neck tattoo the night before the
wedding of Bob BIG's Boys. Bob's Big Boys, you know,
because Bob's big boy. The wedding, Well, no, it's big
here in Burbank and that's where she's from. And she,
you know, she wanted to remember her home. So she
got a big Bob's Big Boy tattoo in her neck
and the husband didn't see it until he did the veil.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
It was Bob No no young in there.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Oh he endorsed.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Who doesn't love burgers and shakes them fry?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
What happened with this? Chad Baker Miszaara guy at USC.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
He got kicked off the team. He's twenty six years old.
I don't believe it's the first team that's kicked him off. Okay,
I think he got kicked out of San Diego State.
Why was he kicked off the team before he was
kicked out of Auburn? Refused out of both?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yeah, he sell Wait, I saw a post on Twitter.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
He says he's forty two years old, and yeah, somebody
said that he's from the Dominican.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Has six kids. That was false. That's not that's not true.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
He does look like sideshow Bob, and he did throw
a ball off a guy's face in the UCLA game
a couple of weeks a week ago.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
So he decides, he just says I'm done.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
He fell down, he was, He went over and sat
with injured players and fans behind the bench and did
not want to go back in. And then apparently afterwards
there was some kind of verbal altercation and he was
thrown off the team despite the one million dollars in
nil money.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Wow, And are they still paying them that money or
I hold not that money? You can retrieve, you should
be able to if a guy gets kicked off the
damn tea.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Well, I'm sure they're going to get there at some
point with the I mean, you guys dealt with it
with the legal part of this, and maybe you guys
were pioneers with the demand. Williams guy, that's right. But
one way or another, I'm sure it'll get worked out out.
But usually these guys get to keep their money and
no accountability necessary. Twenty six years old, straight out of
the Dominican No, I don't, but yeah, he's gone off
(12:10):
the team. I'm more of a mc cronin UCLA basket.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, I was gonna say I saw your boy, Mick cronin. Gee,

fat white girl in the UCLA Athletic department right breaks
into her apartment off campus and holds a butter knife

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Side, so out side of all that, that's you've got
his back.

Much petros and money to best show him down?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
