Speaker 4: England in Massachusetts.
Speaker 3: Rhode Island, Maine, that whole area.
Speaker 4: Matt went to New England and he faced down the
Speaker 4: double axes of Mel Gibson and the Patriot.
Speaker 3: And now he is back in some scalp.
Speaker 4: Yeah, your team was scalded little up the top, scalded
Speaker 4: in the hot, boiling water of ancient warfare. And that
Speaker 4: is that. The Charger season is over. And there's no
Speaker 4: doubt that there's a lot of lamentation amongst the Charger
Speaker 4: faithful and Bolt fam However, Matt is back from New
Speaker 4: England and we had no obstructions, so there's nothing to cover.
Speaker 4: There's nothing to discuss as far as obstructions go. I
Speaker 4: did get some texts that the Chargers lost like this
Speaker 4: because because of the lack of Yeah, but you know,
Speaker 4: the Chargers loose fair. They've lost every year and we've
Speaker 4: done this all the time.
Speaker 2: So well, they did get the one win in Baltimore,
Speaker 2: the one wild card win.
Speaker 4: And that was obstruction related. That's when you really went
Speaker 4: above and beyond.
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 2: I'd hit the cat grave and the pouring rain. I
Speaker 2: was nearly assaulted by a group of homeless drunks. Yeah,
Speaker 2: in front of.
Speaker 3: But this year crickets, so nothing happened. Matt.
Speaker 2: We thought we were going to Boston and we went
Speaker 2: to Providence. I was I was told we were going
Speaker 2: to Well, you.
Speaker 4: Were shipping out to Boston, but you lost your legs
Speaker 4: and you had stopped. What happened in beautiful Rhode Island.
Speaker 4: But I'm sure there'll be plenty of talk about the
Speaker 4: Chargers failings here on the Petrosen Money Show. They end
Speaker 4: up only playing one more game than the hapless Raiders
Speaker 4: and lost Chefs who they started the season up against
Speaker 4: in Brazil, where Matt went rogue and took himself out
Speaker 4: surfing through the favelas of Brazil, taking his fate into
Speaker 4: his own hands. In a very dangerous, very volatile South
Speaker 4: American Country. It's all a memory now the twenty twenty
Speaker 4: five twenty twenty six season. Say good night to the
Speaker 4: Chargers and say both fam we will see you next
Speaker 4: year for your reunion. Make sure you wear your shirt
Speaker 4: so we can all be identified getting off the Carnival
Speaker 4: cruise in Avalon headed to Mexico. That being said, we
Speaker 4: do have an event, and I don't like seeing it
Speaker 4: not sponsored here on our T sheet.
Speaker 3: Matt.
Speaker 4: Maybe we should have a reggae bed of music or something,
Speaker 4: because we have we have a show coming up in
Speaker 4: less than two weeks, Matt, less than two weeks, like
Speaker 4: ten days away. We have another show coming up, and
Speaker 4: I don't like the fact that it's not advertised here
Speaker 4: on our T sheet because going out to see the
Speaker 4: people is really the most important thing we do here
Speaker 4: in Great sports.
Speaker 3: Talk, Great sports Talk.
Speaker 2: Oh and you know it's it's an opportunity for us
Speaker 2: to plant the seeds, the seeds of local politics. And
Speaker 2: Kate's reached out to the Irvine City Council, to the
Speaker 2: mayor office.
Speaker 4: That's a nice Larry council too, Matt, Like, that's a
Speaker 4: nice you know, yeah, that's like the beach level where
Speaker 4: they have like filler music, and they have slides of
Speaker 4: beautiful active slides of beautiful beach scenes and the waves
Speaker 4: slapping against the pylons of the pier. Like that's a
Speaker 4: high production city council meeting in Irvine.
Speaker 3: I bet.
Speaker 2: I mean the GDP of Irvine is like equal to
Speaker 2: or larger than probably five or six states. So we're
Speaker 2: talking about a high power city council led by Larry Agrin,
Speaker 2: who was born in nineteen forty five. He is about
Speaker 2: to turn eighty one years old on February second, and
Speaker 2: Larry's office told us, we love the Petros and Money Show.
Speaker 2: Mayor Larry would love to come down and see the guys,
Speaker 2: but we need more of a heads up next time.
Speaker 2: So here's a week from Thursday, eleven days of a
Speaker 2: heads up. Kate's, can we plant the seeds of local
Speaker 2: politics and get Larry Agrin to show up to the
Speaker 2: Petros and Money Show's appearance at the Irvine BJS.
Speaker 3: I believe he's on it. That's right going, So we
Speaker 3: will see.
Speaker 4: How that plays out. So we're going to be down
Speaker 4: in Irvine for you Orange County types, if you're in
Speaker 4: line at the Hello Kiddy pop up at the Spectrum.
Speaker 4: Come on over and check out the Petrosen Money Show
Speaker 4: on AM I seventy LA Sports, your home of the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Now I have a question for you Pee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as a man who has now made his way
Speaker 2: virtually into a number of city council.
Speaker 3: Meetings, well online, that's what I meant. You know, you're there.
Speaker 4: You see what's been doing with the mayor and Orange City, Florida,
Speaker 4: Matt It is a mess out there outside of Orlando.
Speaker 4: The mayor tried to get rid of the city clerk,
Speaker 4: and then the city clerk tweeted out a conversation the
Speaker 4: mayor had on Facebook calling a couple people in the
Speaker 4: city council ghetto fabulous those people happen to be black.
Speaker 3: That's not going to go over.
Speaker 4: Well, charges of racism have been bandied about, and the
Speaker 4: rest of the city council wouldn't let her fire the clerk,
Speaker 4: and now they're asking her to apologize.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a.
Speaker 4: It is a real culture clash going on there in
Speaker 4: Orange City, Florida. In London, Kentucky, where the mayor is
Speaker 4: in a just knockdown drag can't tell what they're fighting about.
Speaker 4: And these are all whites. But in London Kentucky there
Speaker 4: is a lot of anger. So I've been watching a
Speaker 4: lot of city council meetings. That's what I do.
Speaker 2: What imagine city council meetings are are gonna certainly pop
Speaker 2: off compared to we have.
Speaker 4: We got seven members. You just don't know, Matt. You know,
Speaker 4: you never know, that's true.
Speaker 3: What's going to happen. What it takes is want something
Speaker 3: to happen.
Speaker 4: Somebody gets called out in their charity, somebody gets called
Speaker 4: out for corruptions. Somebody doesn't fill the right pothole, somebody
Speaker 4: doesn't change a red light, and next thing you know,
Speaker 4: they're up in arms, pitchforks and torches and they're coming
Speaker 4: to kill doctor Frankenstein.
Speaker 3: If we can't get Larry Agrin. Have you called the
Speaker 3: mayor Kates?
Speaker 5: No that I haven't.
Speaker 4: Have you.
Speaker 3: Let's get on that. Have you asked about the mayor?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, I've been so focused on what's that understandable? Because
Speaker 2: remember the mayor told you a little bit more of
Speaker 2: a heads up and he'd be happy to join this.
Speaker 3: Right, and now we're going to make the same mistake.
Speaker 3: Oh is this the same city? That's right? Yes, Larry Agrin.
Speaker 5: Yes, all right, email being sent right now?
Speaker 2: Okay, good, because I don't want to have to settle
Speaker 2: for Melinda Leu, William Go, James.
Speaker 7: My white man, white man, white man.
Speaker 2: I don't think William Go or Melinda Lush or James
Speaker 2: my Mike Carroll. Yeah, that's a white guy. Betty Martinez,
Speaker 2: Franco white man, or Kathleen Trestater all potential Petrosen money
Speaker 2: show guests. I don't want those city council I want them.
Speaker 3: We want the mayor. I want may Irvine like six
Speaker 3: times over, or we're gonna fill it ourselves. So that
Speaker 3: is the news.
Speaker 4: We will be in Irvine a week from Thursday starting
Speaker 4: at three o'clock.
Speaker 3: Is that a five hour show on the remote?
Speaker 5: There, Kates, No, that is a that's a three to
Speaker 5: six show petros on the twenty second leading into one
Speaker 5: of the biggest NBA games of the regular season this.
Speaker 3: Year, Lakers v. Clippers.
Speaker 4: The Clippers are wide hot, there is no doubt about that,
Speaker 4: and a lot of people don't want to give fully
Speaker 4: fun Lakers, or people don't want to give Adam credit
Speaker 4: that the Lakers or ice cold and the Clippers are
Speaker 4: red hot. But So how about this, by the way,
Speaker 4: pe Yes, I believe been watching a lot of Whitehall,
Speaker 4: Ohio City council meetings as well. Go ahead, Adam Rode.
Speaker 2: Adam Carolla, middle ninebacker for the for the Huskies of
Speaker 2: North Hollywood.
Speaker 4: I thought I thought he was a Sam but yeah,
Speaker 4: well it's whatever.
Speaker 2: Larry Agrin, quarterback of the North Hollywood Huskies. Wow in
Speaker 2: his high school days. All right, So there you go.
Speaker 3: So we have it in.
Speaker 4: If he doesn't see got an in we ask him
Speaker 4: about his high school football career. That ought to get
Speaker 4: us the mayor of Irvine on. We've had Farah Kahn
Speaker 4: when she was the mayor his predecessor. Yes, and we
Speaker 4: had the county controller as well, I believe in Orange County.
Speaker 4: So we are not we are not strangers to Orange
Speaker 4: County politics.
Speaker 3: Is that right?
Speaker 4: Yes, that is right. As far as today's show goes,
Speaker 4: we will have Ben Boltch. It's a writer's hour in
Speaker 4: the four o'clock hour. It's going to be like c
Speaker 4: SPAN when Shelby Foote and John Grisham are on back
Speaker 4: to back for interviews on their new books.
Speaker 2: Nobody Nobody covers beat writers like the Petros and Money Show.
Speaker 4: We've got Ben Boltch for three good reasons. Okay, One
Speaker 4: number one on campus stadium so far UCLA football, there's one.
Speaker 3: Okay, one stadium issues.
Speaker 4: Two Bob Chesney kicking ass. I like Bob kicking ass
Speaker 4: in the port Ready, well, I think so, Bob, are
Speaker 4: we ready? Well, he's not ready to come on, but Bob,
Speaker 4: are we ready? Bob Chesney kicking outs in the portal?
Speaker 4: That's two and three. Ben Boltch is one of those,
Speaker 4: just like Vinnie Bong signior to say how much a
Speaker 4: takeout from BJ's not just that, but more takeout on
Speaker 4: the way Matt saying f you to conventional Los Angeles
Speaker 4: media coverage, and they're jumping over to the brand new
Speaker 4: California prost.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, a new New York coast California.
Speaker 7: Yea, California.
Speaker 3: So we will talk to Ben Boltch about that already. No,
Speaker 3: he's leaving. When's he leaving?
Speaker 4: Case leaves at the end of the month. Okay, end
Speaker 4: of the month. Okay, So I knew it was I
Speaker 4: knew it was upon us. So Ben bolt hits the
Speaker 4: post along with Vinnie Bong. Is Vinnie Bong leaving Las Vegas?
Speaker 5: I don't know if he's leaving the seven zero two,
Speaker 5: but he is leaving the Las Vegas Review Journal.
Speaker 4: To this pomp, sweating and blackjack on a Saturday night, leaving.
Speaker 5: NFL insider kind of a blanket coverage of the West.
Speaker 3: Coast Wow for the Blifornia Post.
Speaker 4: Yes, Vinnie Bong step, he's stepping up and live Vinnie Bong. Well,
Speaker 4: if he's out in Vegas, he's got the Raiders to cover,
Speaker 4: and that's West Coast NFL. He could stay in Vegas
Speaker 4: and cover all of them. Maybe he did deserve all
Speaker 4: that takeout from BJ's Restaurant in brew House in West
Speaker 4: Covina back in the day. But if I was at
Speaker 4: a Bjay's restaurant in brewe House just as a co
Speaker 4: host or contributor to a sports talk radio show that
Speaker 4: wasn't great sports.
Speaker 3: Talk, great sports talk.
Speaker 4: And I left holding five bags of food like Vinnie
Speaker 4: Bong would, I would have walked out the back door
Speaker 4: or found a way to leave with a little bit
Speaker 4: more dignity. He left in shame, straight up the front door,
Speaker 4: straight out fisted, just pulled it every bag and the whole.
Speaker 3: Play fisted with eight takeout containers.
Speaker 4: So that that was unfortunate. But either way, Ben Boltch,
Speaker 4: for those three reasons, and I think they were all
Speaker 4: good reasons, is going to join us in the very
Speaker 4: next hour and then wrapping up the Rider's Hour. No
Speaker 4: Rider's block in the four o'clock hour.
Speaker 5: Because I'm right than you.

Speaker 3: and flu Ski. We're doing the most Ski Man.

Speaker 4: Writer that was my favorite summer book tour continues joining
Speaker 4: me right now every week is a season author.
Speaker 3: That's awesome. I wish I could do that.
Speaker 5: Maybe once a week an hour could be the writer's block.
Speaker 4: You know, just all dedicated out of Oxford, Mississippy once
Speaker 4: a week. Faulkner is my guest. You think once a
Speaker 4: Frank Faulkner out of Oxford. That's right, Frank, when you
Speaker 4: wrote about incest, did you find it to be a
Speaker 4: personal great grandfather? Shot all the recognition. But Frank is
Speaker 4: a fine author. I would love to do. Look, I
Speaker 4: think every once in a while if we build something
Speaker 4: for it and have like some class music and have
Speaker 4: somebody be like.
Speaker 3: It's Writer's Hour on the Petterson Money Show, No Writer's
Speaker 3: block this hour or something like that, doing it writer style.
Speaker 3: Oh that's a great call. And we can get my
Speaker 3: John Grisham or Dan Brown to come on. I said
Speaker 3: Grisham already, Hey, my man, did you read the new
Speaker 3: Dan Brown? Dean Coates is my favorite author. I can
Speaker 3: get you. Danielle Steele. Oh I love Danielle. I get
Speaker 3: a little hot and sweaty under the collar when I
Speaker 3: get to chapter two.
Speaker 4: Doctor Laura's got a new book out. Would you like her?

Speaker 4: Ben Boltch from The Athletic and Daniel Pott No excuse me,

Speaker 4: off from the Athletic. Who wants to be a writer
Speaker 4: when they grow up? These guys, what do you say?

Speaker 4: So we do have ulster Man, Randy Wayne right Chorga
Speaker 4: Snow from Gumbo Limbo, Florida. Is it only sports books
Speaker 4: or can we go outside? I think we should be
Speaker 4: able to go outside the box. We've given away romance novels.
Speaker 4: Matt likes to talk about books, you know, I mean
Speaker 4: everybody loves books, Joe books and books by jobs on books.
Speaker 4: We have some minor sports stories and great sports talk

Speaker 4: Matt money Smith.
Speaker 3: Top story of it, We'll.
Speaker 4: Tackle, We'll face He's gonna face and tackle the failure
Speaker 4: of the Chargers.
Speaker 2: It's quite sad, real punch to the gut, kick to
Speaker 2: the balls, a little stomp on your toes.
Speaker 5: Do they serve food on the flight back after a
Speaker 5: loss like that?
Speaker 2: Or there's just like no, it's funny you say that, Kates,
Speaker 2: because as I got on the bus. You know, there
Speaker 2: are a number of buses, you know, and it's separated.
Speaker 2: Players on these buses, coaches on these buses, staff on
Speaker 2: the I got on the bus and there was a
Speaker 2: staffer that was, for lack of a better term, balls
Speaker 2: deep into a chicken palm.
Speaker 3: Well that was stinking up the whole bus.
Speaker 4: You know, look, people have a hard time. You know,
Speaker 4: it's a long game and people need to eat.
Speaker 2: It's like, really, you know, I know that we're we've
Speaker 2: all five pm and it's now, you know, eleven or
Speaker 2: midnight and you haven't eaten Dodgers man? Do I really
Speaker 2: need a giant freaking platter of chicken parm and garlic
Speaker 2: bread for a fifty minute bus ride?
Speaker 3: Where did they get that?
Speaker 5: Was that served?
Speaker 2: You know? Before you go after every's peaking a test.
Speaker 2: Han't been a football player After every game, the players
Speaker 2: get a meal, it's catered. They they contact a vocal
Speaker 2: for everybody. Yeah, just a bit, and it's usually really
Speaker 2: good food. I mean, it's it. I believed the in
Speaker 2: in Denver it was Flemings. It was like filets and
Speaker 2: stuff like that, and I mean, it's.
Speaker 3: Really good to throw us a medium pizzas.
Speaker 2: So uh yeah, so this was a famous Italian joint
Speaker 2: from from the area that was catering with chicken palm
Speaker 2: and mini pizzas and stuff like that. What did you
Speaker 2: grab nothing? I grabbed a poll in springs.
Speaker 4: Water, not the gut. For God's sake, it was fine.
Speaker 4: It's it's up to him.
Speaker 2: But it's just like, man of all the things, it's
Speaker 2: just this chicken parn What a.
Speaker 5: DJ pull on? What a Shannon pull to bring on
Speaker 5: the bus.
Speaker 2: I don't think we typically don't take the food because
Speaker 2: we have the press box food. You know, at half time,
Speaker 2: at halftime you can get the press box.
Speaker 3: The chips really have to be down for you to
Speaker 3: dive into the player's food. Yeah, yeah, it's I've got a.
Speaker 4: Although, you know, leaving the stadium every once in a while,
Speaker 4: I might have snatched a Chick fil A sandwich out
Speaker 4: of the mouth of a San Diego State player or two.
Speaker 3: You know. Never here you go.
Speaker 2: I think, if that's if that's what you're looking at,
Speaker 2: if it's a sub sandwich or a cheese steak or
Speaker 2: a chick fil a, okay, fine, But it's like, hey,
Speaker 2: this is the well done, this is the medium, this
Speaker 2: is the medium, rare file at. Here's your baked potato,
Speaker 2: here's your scalloped potatoes.
Speaker 4: Hey, why are you eating chicken? Do you think you
Speaker 4: are staffer? Food's making us all sick.
Speaker 3: The chickens are coming home to roost.
Speaker 2: Yes, and on the flight home they serving food. I
Speaker 2: I took something and passed out and slept for the
Speaker 2: majority until severe turbulence shook me awake over Lincoln, Nebraska
Speaker 2: for about thirty minutes, and then I immediately passed out again.
Speaker 4: Well, congratulations, the end of season is cameras, Congratulations on
Speaker 4: another NFL season.
Speaker 5: Were you sitting next to that person that had the
Speaker 5: chicken palm on the flight?
Speaker 3: I was not. I was not.
Speaker 4: I say, started out when uh Tokyo and ended in Canada.
Speaker 4: Matt started out in Brazil and fizzled out with turbulence
Speaker 4: over Lakeoln, Nebraska. Exactly right?
Speaker 2: Do you think you've got when you think you've got
Speaker 2: the mix that's gonna keep you asleep for five hours,
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you're you're awakened by a
Speaker 2: plane moving thousands of feet.
Speaker 3: In the air. It's like, oh, that's a bummer.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad I heard a nasty rumor. I usually
Speaker 4: don't ask you about the fly flight home, but I
Speaker 4: heard a nasty rumor that you tried to light a
Speaker 4: cingarette back there and.
Speaker 3: Nobody did you know what.
Speaker 4: Everybody was asleep and tried to pull a couple of
Speaker 4: drags real quick and got in trouble.
Speaker 3: And hit the f on the toilet. IM suck it down.
Speaker 3: I'm glad that that's not the case.
Speaker 5: Was it like almost famous where you guys were like

Speaker 2: Gay so then he whips it out, then he starts
Speaker 2: jerking figure and this is it and then wham the
Speaker 2: hydraulics slammed back in the cover.

Speaker 2: final live appearance for the foreseeable future at the BJ's
Speaker 2: Restaurant in brew House on the twenty second, one week
Speaker 2: from this Thursday.
Speaker 4: We're happy to be there and we're happy to invite
Speaker 4: you to visit. Thank you for listening on this. I'm
Speaker 4: a horse Monday, all right, we will call this uh,
Speaker 4: well you know what this is. I found this Matt
Speaker 4: it's freaking me out. It's Australian News.
Speaker 8: It's KIF and this is Petros and Money's Australian News.
Speaker 4: Well with the Australian Open coming up. We hear at
Speaker 4: the Petros and Money show. Always have our eyes on
Speaker 4: down Under and what's going on down Under. And there
Speaker 4: is a massive problem developing in Queensland in a town
Speaker 4: called Gimp. They are plagued like yeah, but g Y
Speaker 4: M p I E. Gimp is well they call it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they are plagued matt by giant flying foxes.
Speaker 3: Fruit bats, some of.
Speaker 4: The largest bats in the history of the world. That
Speaker 4: they call them flying foxes down there because they look
Speaker 4: like foxes.
Speaker 3: They are huge.
Speaker 4: They are the largest bats in the world that it
Speaker 4: seems like a nightmare. They're in a government protected wooded
Speaker 4: area that a giant colony of fruit bats has like
Speaker 4: doubled in the last couple of years. We're talking about
Speaker 4: like three hundred and thirty thousand gigantic bats terrorizing the
Speaker 4: community with constant screeching and unbelievable amounts of stinking disease
Speaker 4: spreading batpoop or guano. If you know about ace venture
Speaker 4: at too everywhere the situation has reached such desperation that
Speaker 4: locals say their quality of life has been deeply affected
Speaker 4: by the constant screaming and the poop, and that their
Speaker 4: properties have been collectively devalued almost to nothing by the
Speaker 4: fact that the bats are there and no one can
Speaker 4: do what they really want to do, Matt, which is,
Speaker 4: you know what it is, shoot the bats out of
Speaker 4: the eucalyptus trees, shoot the bats out of the sky.
Speaker 4: But certain government protections on the bats and their home
Speaker 4: makes that impossible. We're talking about hundreds of thousands of bats, Matt,
Speaker 4: and it's happened before in Queensland. But it's a terrible
Speaker 4: thing when these colonies move and take over a community
Speaker 4: and no one's allowed to shoot them. Your thoughts, thoughts,
Speaker 4: seems like Australia is the wild, wild West, and I'm
Speaker 4: surprised that they don't allow you to blast those things out.
Speaker 3: Of the skill.
Speaker 4: Very hard on the gun laws out there in Australia,
Speaker 4: you know, so they have people turn their guns in
Speaker 4: and stuff like that, but I would think they let
Speaker 4: you have like a pellet gun to shoot one of
Speaker 4: these bastards. There is an Australian current affair and it's
Speaker 4: way better than the current affair that we had here
Speaker 4: that Tony Bruno used to play the sound of all
Speaker 4: the time with Mari Polovitch. Here is Australia's current affair.
Speaker 4: Talking to one guy out there about the fruit bat problem,
Speaker 4: the flying squirrels, so to speak, in his area, or have.
Speaker 8: The odd noisy neighbor. Usually a polite word can restore
Speaker 8: the peace, but Carrie is being disturbed at all times
Speaker 8: of the day and night. They're even leaving behind unwanted
Speaker 8: presence on his lawnch Oh.
Speaker 6: He wears a battered bush hat, not a cape, and
Speaker 6: he doesn't fight crime. But with tens of thousands of
Speaker 6: flying foxes circling him, Kerry could easily be cast as
Speaker 6: the next batman.
Speaker 3: This guy, this is like the start of horrors to that, and.
Speaker 9: That's only going to get worse from now on an
Speaker 9: afternoon to where they almost block out the sun.
Speaker 6: The sheer volume of that's descending on Kerry's booner backyard
Speaker 6: has got him in quite the flat, just.
Speaker 9: Que screeching and screaming from sun up to sunset. And
Speaker 9: they don't take Sundays off. They live on church owned land,
Speaker 9: but they don't take Sunday off.
Speaker 6: They might roost on Holy Land. Kerry claims the sound
Speaker 6: and smell is making his life hell.
Speaker 9: Someone's baddo and bad stink and feet as doesn't even
Speaker 9: touch the smell of them. When the smell gets in
Speaker 9: the house, it's almost impossible to get rid of it.
Speaker 9: You've got to burn in sense, not by one stick
Speaker 9: of incense. You're like, buy you burn a whole packet
Speaker 9: of incense.
Speaker 6: The seventy five year old has lived peacefully in his
Speaker 6: home for six years until three months ago when the
Speaker 6: bats moved in.
Speaker 9: It's driving me, and that is an understatement.
Speaker 6: Disease and defecation are the biggest threats Harry and his guests.
Speaker 3: Face the afternoon close.
Speaker 7: Is that batpoop?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: Oh, no, it was a bug.
Speaker 6: We are kind of in the dangers.
Speaker 9: We are where they can sort of drop if they
Speaker 9: want to, if they choose the two honors.
Speaker 3: We've got no control.
Speaker 6: Classifying his own backyard as a biohazard.
Speaker 9: The smell is bad enough, but knowing that they carry
Speaker 9: fleas and lice as well as they're droppings carry from
Speaker 9: what I can be told humorous, he's.
Speaker 3: Just flying foxes.
Speaker 4: So that they go to the research guy, Yeah, you
Speaker 4: can cut it, and he says, Nike Keith the forest clean.
Speaker 4: He can't touch him. But some people think that they
Speaker 4: need Don McClain there flying squirrel to shoot those bats
Speaker 4: out of the sky. But a terrible situation. So whenever
Speaker 4: you think like you live in Temple City and you
Speaker 4: think that you're harassed by the parrots and they're bothering you,
Speaker 4: it's got nothing on the gigantic fruit bats of Queensland, Australia,
Speaker 4: the flying foxes, and they are big as hell. I
Speaker 4: mean it does look like bat and Michael Keaton hanging
Speaker 4: upside down in the tree and there's like twenty of
Speaker 4: them and these gigantic eucalyptus trees and they fill the
Speaker 4: sky and black out the sun and it does look
Speaker 4: quite apocalyptic Australia, truly, Matt is a marvel. Now, this
Speaker 4: is not my favorite story ever out of Australia. Everybody
Speaker 4: knows my favorite story out of Australia is not the
Speaker 4: mushroom death cap trial, and I believe sentencing has taken
Speaker 4: place there, But that's close, Matt. My favorite story out
Speaker 4: of Australia is when the lady was cycling and got
Speaker 4: stopped by kangaroo, and the kangaroo kicked her with both
Speaker 4: feet right on her chest and popped both of her
Speaker 4: breast implants simultaneously with a powerful kick, and she had
Speaker 4: to be hospitalized because the kangaroo knew that it could
Speaker 4: pop that chick's airbags. Cycling in the outback in Australia.
Speaker 4: So there is Australia news for today. If you're sad
Speaker 4: about the Chargers, cheer up. At least you don't live
Speaker 4: where there's a gigantic flying fox infestation. If you're sad
Speaker 4: about the Lakers losing a couple straight, same thing. If
Speaker 4: you're sad about us being preempted by a half hour
Speaker 4: by fully functional employee Anham because there's clipper coverage tonight,
Speaker 4: non that we can do. There is stuff to be
Speaker 4: grateful for. The disease that's spreading, defic and disease. We

Speaker 4: through the window. He blows him up, he blows It's
Speaker 4: not even it's like a mortar that he's holding low
Speaker 4: and he blows him through a window. But it's not
Speaker 4: like the guy screams and turns and then gets blown
Speaker 4: through the window.
Speaker 3: I thought it's a great screw.
Speaker 4: I thought the missile sticks in him, and he sees
Speaker 4: the missile sticking in him and it blows him up. No,
Speaker 4: he turns and screams as he's turning. Yeah, he blows
Speaker 4: through a window. I didn't know he blew through a window.

Speaker 3: was your weekend, Matt? Terrible?
Speaker 2: Uh? Friday, I watched the Phoenicians scheme. It was fantastic.
Speaker 2: I watched Oh so good.

Speaker 4: the nun.
Speaker 2: Oh that's who she is, eh, Michael Sarah is so
Speaker 2: freaking good in that hoofy.
Speaker 3: He's sensational. So I watched that. So that was a highlight.
Speaker 2: Watched the college football playoff second half of the flight
Speaker 2: and Friday night was uneventful. Saturday walked around Providence. We
Speaker 2: were staying right across the street from the State House,
Speaker 2: built in the late eighteen hundred, so pretty cool to
Speaker 2: walk around that.
Speaker 3: Took that in.
Speaker 2: I went to a joint called Caserta's Pizza, the oldest
Speaker 2: pizza joint in Providence. It was delicious. I can't remember
Speaker 2: which listener recommended that, but thank you for that, so
Speaker 2: go for you. Saturday night we went to kind of
Speaker 2: there's a main drag in Providence with a bunch of
Speaker 2: bars and stuff like that. We went to a sports
Speaker 2: bar with.
Speaker 3: Tourists all day, That's what it was.
Speaker 2: Patriots PR Stacy James and the Chargers PR staff all
Speaker 2: took care of that. We got a table, watched the games,
Speaker 2: the NFL games. Great night there and then Sunday morning
Speaker 2: prepped a little bit over to Gillette Stadium and a
Speaker 2: lot of disappointment, a ton of disappointment in the building there.
Speaker 2: Flight home was man it managed to fall asleep yes
Speaker 2: before we even took off, and then unfortunately woke up
Speaker 2: a couple different times. Could not have been a smoother
Speaker 2: flight to Providence in the middle of the day. Flight
Speaker 2: home just bouncing all over the Dann sky when you're
Speaker 2: trying to get some rest. So yeah, that was the
Speaker 2: That's how it felt. I was the coming in front
Speaker 2: of the window that got blown through the second story.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 2: I did not have a stern and blow. I felt
Speaker 2: fine physically for the flight home.
Speaker 3: Kids, What about you?
Speaker 5: I had a pretty relaxing weekend, guys. I didn't do
Speaker 5: very much at all. I slept in on both Saturday
Speaker 5: and Sunday, sort of just laid around to watch football.
Speaker 5: Went and got some poke at a place down the
Speaker 5: street called Poke Lo Lu, which was new for us.
Speaker 5: We usually go to a cocoa roll over on Olive
Speaker 5: or a different spot, but we went to a new
Speaker 5: spot on San Fernando. I liked it a lot. Probably
Speaker 5: be going back to it even more. Okay, and I
Speaker 5: watched a series on Netflix, eight episode Getting Your Poke
Speaker 5: Bowl Kates. Oh, I go white rice, I go tera

Speaker 5: JFK assassination and it was fascinating. My wife saw it
Speaker 5: on Netflix. It's like number two in popularity right now
Speaker 5: on Netflix. That's why she saw it. It popped up on
Speaker 5: her screen. I started watching it over the weekend. Watch
Speaker 5: all eight episodes. And in this series is James Franco.
Speaker 5: He plays the star. He goes back in time from
Speaker 5: twenty fifteen. He goes back to try to save JFK
Speaker 5: from being assassinated.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of sublot exactly.
Speaker 5: He doesn't go back and forth, it's just one time,
Speaker 5: but he alters history and it doesn't do it in
Speaker 5: a good way.
Speaker 3: He falls in love with a missile boom check.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, it's a really good show. Stephen King based and
Speaker 5: I'm like, wow, James franc goes back and my wife's

Speaker 3: We got chronic Taco on a show that is a
Speaker 3: decade old.
Speaker 5: It is ten years old.
Speaker 3: And I thought he was young.
Speaker 5: Well, I just thought maybe he'd been gone a while,
Speaker 5: maybe he had some stuff done to his face. You know,
Speaker 5: he's been me too. Now he's back. Turns out he's
Speaker 5: still me too, and nobody wants to be his friend,
Speaker 5: Like none of his friends from before his friends anymore.
Speaker 3: None of his cool like uh Seth Rogan from.
Speaker 5: An Apple Express dudes, they're all like not friends with it, but.
Speaker 3: They were doing a sequel. I thought we were getting

Speaker 3: Man had that without James Franco.
Speaker 5: Man, he's not even not even friends anymore. But I

Speaker 11: Had a nice weekend guy Saturday. Was up early doing
Speaker 11: stuff around the house. Went to get an oil change
Speaker 11: at Valveleene, got that discount there, the iHeart Media discount.
Speaker 11: Took my car to the car wash afterwards, and in
Speaker 11: the afternoon, the family gathered for my niece Kayla's birthday party.
Speaker 11: That was a lot of fun, and we had the
Speaker 11: wild Card game on the TV as well, so the
Speaker 11: dual party favors going. We had the party, and we

Speaker 11: watched the other NFL Wild Card games all day long
Speaker 11: and did some domestic chores in between. And I did
Speaker 11: order a pizza as well, and that was pretty much
Speaker 11: a pizza pie. Yeah, from Big Mamas and Papa's Pizza.
Speaker 3: That was my weekend. Guys, what about you? Pee? Okay?
Speaker 3: I what did I do?
Speaker 4: I went to yoga and slept throughout the day. On Saturday,
Speaker 4: I took my daughter to lunch at the Crem de
Speaker 4: la Crepe, which is a local French place in the
Speaker 4: South Bay area, and I drank some sangria.
Speaker 3: Well, she talked, did you have sweeter savory crepes?
Speaker 4: I had a crab cake, Benedict. It's a good breakfast place.
Speaker 4: I did not order a crape, Matt, so.
Speaker 3: I'm going to go to Krem like crapes and it's
Speaker 3: a French place. What do you think of that?
Speaker 4: Of different French places, I had it, I said, I
Speaker 4: had saying kria. I went to on Sunday, I went
Speaker 4: back to yoga early and so I could go to church.
Speaker 4: And then uh, I saw my little brother at church
Speaker 4: because he's the saltiest at Saint Catharine, and I liked.
Speaker 4: Father Mike gave me bread for the rest of the family, like, hey,
Speaker 4: you're here, but your other three people in a family
Speaker 4: aren't here, kind of calling them out. So I was
Speaker 4: able to come home and be like, hey, father, Mike
Speaker 4: gave you this bread. You wonder where you were?
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: And then I went to Nordstrom's to pick up my
Speaker 4: daughter's pants. At the Nordstrom pants just straight pants or
Speaker 4: she had pants hemmed or something.
Speaker 3: Oh, I got you. Yeah, they do the free tailor, right.
Speaker 4: So I had to go back and do that, you know,
Speaker 4: to the north Strom And then I stopped the Why
Speaker 4: Not Murder alone on Hawthorne and I ate by myself
Speaker 4: in my car.
Speaker 5: I did that too this weekend. Ate by myself.
Speaker 3: It's over, it's underrated.
Speaker 11: So today I had my pizza pie.
Speaker 5: I went to Arrest. I went to Finny's on Friday
Speaker 5: after the show and ate by myself and drank by myself.
Speaker 5: So I'm right there with you, Petrol. It's kind of depressing,
Speaker 5: but it feels good.
Speaker 3: No, it feels great. That sounds like my entire life.
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I ate the yido alone and you leave
Speaker 4: on And I waited for the real estate dad to
Speaker 4: call me because he said he was going to call
Speaker 4: me all weekend to hang out, and he never did.
Speaker 4: And I waited for the litigator dad to call me
Speaker 4: because he said he was going to call me to
Speaker 4: hang out this weekend and he never did. So I
Speaker 4: was very much like a lady in waiting. There's a
Speaker 4: club and you want to go. You might find someone
Speaker 4: that really loves you. So you go and you stand
Speaker 4: on your own, and you leave on your own, and
Speaker 4: then you go home and you cry, you want to die.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Oh my god, was a euro by myself.
Speaker 4: All of that happened after.
Speaker 3: At least.
Speaker 4: I didn't have to sit next to some guy eating
Speaker 4: a chicken palm like an animal on a bus at
Speaker 4: three in the morning, on a sad bus in Foxboro.
Speaker 2: That was incredibly depressing. You know what, Even though I
Speaker 2: was surrounded by one hundred people, I still felt incredibly alone.
Speaker 4: Oh though we both lie close together and we feel
Speaker 4: miles apart inside, just like every rose has it's lorn
Speaker 4: just like that.
Speaker 5: Did you have the bartender come up to you too
Speaker 5: and say anybody else joining you? And I said no,
Speaker 5: just by myself.
Speaker 3: Are we waiting for another? No?
Speaker 2: And I like when you start conversation with the bartender
Speaker 2: and they're like, sorry, man, I gotta go over here.
Speaker 2: I'm not doing that gig today, Pal nice Weather, we're
Speaker 2: having it. Yeah, you're not bending my ear over here, Okay, dork.
Speaker 4: Hey loser, I'm not gonna be here because you're I
Speaker 4: got work to do here.
Speaker 5: At Phinney's, I ordered three appetisers and the runner who
Speaker 5: brought their foods like, is this all for you or
Speaker 5: somebody else joining?
Speaker 3: God?
Speaker 5: Damns for me.
Speaker 3: Don't let money change you.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll be back with more petros and money
Speaker 4: word number song of the Day, and then Rider's Our
