Speaker 2: each day and.
Speaker 1: Unlike some shows in the morning where there's great discord,
Speaker 1: name calling, disrespect, overall disdain, and I did hear much
Speaker 1: like the great nine o two one OERO episode where
Speaker 1: they had a black guy who was a guest star.
Speaker 1: Was never like you know on the actual cast, don't
Speaker 1: worry about I mean, but.
Speaker 2: But it was a different time.
Speaker 1: There was you know, the peach Pit after dark. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when Valerie big Head Valerie Kelly Kapowski took over the
Speaker 1: peach Pit and opened a club and David Silver aka
Speaker 1: Brian Austin Green aka Bag would be up there dj
Speaker 1: and singing and dancing and generally doing his act, his
Speaker 1: clown act. And there was a fight with black people.
Speaker 1: Gangs were involved, as that was a thing not cool
Speaker 1: in La and it was the whole theme was squash it,
Speaker 1: you know, with the hand over the fist, squash it,
Speaker 1: and they avoided a terrible fight they could have involved
Speaker 1: firearms at the end of it all with the squash
Speaker 1: it symbol and it was very inspirational, kind of one
Speaker 1: of those nine to two in one oer episodes that
Speaker 1: you never forget. It goes up there with a couple
Speaker 1: that I could mention now, I don't think you want
Speaker 1: me to.
Speaker 2: So I just want to be part of the conversation.
Speaker 1: I know you do.
Speaker 2: I would like to point out anytime football, you know,
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl or something rolls around, you'll tend to
Speaker 2: get some of the nineteen eighties nineteen nineties football episodes
Speaker 2: of the more impactful Sitcomsmedes Teen, Dramas of Our Life
Speaker 2: and when they posted the Flag Football nine O two
Speaker 2: one oh. The old Sanders to Walsh common connection very impactful.
Speaker 2: It is at the time, I don't remember feeling. I
Speaker 2: think we said it about Dylan when we were like, okay,
Speaker 2: Dylan McKay looks like he's thirty. But the fact that
Speaker 2: they all look like they're thirty five, that that Sanders
Speaker 2: is back there looking as thick as a dude in
Speaker 2: law school on the inner Murals field, we accepted it
Speaker 2: that we just and Brandon Walsh has got a little
Speaker 2: bit of you know, he's got a little bit of power.
Speaker 2: Alley's going on the head like giant quads quads. It's like,
Speaker 2: what the hell were we thinking, you know, fight kids
Speaker 2: in the street, right, what like his fist pop on
Speaker 2: that connection.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm happy to say though, like that episode
Speaker 1: of The Squash it episode, and that was also the
Speaker 1: flag football episode was also very memorable. Man. I'd also
Speaker 1: like to I'd like to nominate the Emily Valentine San
Speaker 1: Francisco date with Brandon Walsh's very memorable. I'd like to
Speaker 1: also submit Emily Valentine going crazy and burning down the
Speaker 1: homecoming float. That's a good one, Walsh's driveway episode, and
Speaker 1: the one where Kelly Kopowski has her legs wrapped around
Speaker 1: Dylan McKay in the bellage pool, rubbing her crotch on him. Well,
Speaker 1: he says, it's you, Kelly, It's always been you.
Speaker 2: Those were all very impactful. Donna losen to her virginity,
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: Dave Silmer gave it to Donna, or Donna Martin graduates.
Speaker 1: I mean, the list goes on and on. But back
Speaker 1: to the original episode we were discussing. Later, when the
Speaker 1: peach Pit after Dark was open, they had the squashed
Speaker 1: episode with the black guys, who I don't believe on
Speaker 1: any other episodes before or after. I want to report
Speaker 1: that in that kind of dramatic fashion, Ronnie and Fred
Speaker 1: squashed their beef today. Well, how did that happen? I
Speaker 1: think Fred went back in there and apologized. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: can't speak for the morning show on our competitor. I
Speaker 1: don't know what that beef's about or whether it's been
Speaker 1: squashed or No.
Speaker 2: We know what the beef is here right now, Fred
Speaker 2: just showing up like you know, Nonjalot hadn't been an
Speaker 2: absent dad for the last three months two years. So actually, Dad,
Speaker 2: you haven't come to any of my games, you haven't
Speaker 2: checked my homework, you don't say good night to me.
Speaker 2: Now you just want to come in and pick up
Speaker 2: like none of that happened, like I haven't missed you
Speaker 2: for a while.
Speaker 1: Any any thoughts anybody crickets? Yeah, all right, I just
Speaker 1: want to say they squashed it, Matt.
Speaker 2: Maybe they feel like we're they squashed it and they
Speaker 2: think we're trying to rekindle that flame of anger. No,
Speaker 2: which we tended to.
Speaker 1: I had a nice conversation with the nine O two
Speaker 1: one oher theme with Ronnie wash it off the air
Speaker 1: with squash it. And now, I mean, it's not like
Speaker 1: I'm assuming anything about his habits like AI or anything
Speaker 1: like that, not making any assumptions.
Speaker 2: You just said they squashed it.
Speaker 1: I just said they squashed it.
Speaker 2: Was it, like, right? When they got on the air.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was hoping for some detail, but
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to get it. Matt. We
Speaker 1: just need three stops, and I don't think we're going
Speaker 1: to get it. Are we giving away this basketball thing today?
Speaker 2: It is available online the five sea Sports Instagram page
Speaker 2: as an opportunity for you to win tickets to the
Speaker 2: Stars game the Castro Rising Stars game at the Intuit
Speaker 2: Dome on Friday. So go on over to AM five

Speaker 2: guys like that all going to be out there playing basketball.
Speaker 1: You know, I wasn't interested in any of the names
Speaker 1: that you said, Kerr, Nipple or any of them until
Speaker 1: Edgecombe came in right, and then I was like, yes,
Speaker 1: I do I know about him. So we will have
Speaker 1: a lot of basketball talk as it is a time
Speaker 1: for basketball. I think we're gonna go.
Speaker 2: Find you're going to the game tonight, Laker Spurs.
Speaker 1: No, No, but I think I'm gonna find the squash
Speaker 1: at episode on nine of two one ohero and give
Speaker 1: it the noir treatment, is what I'm going to say.
Speaker 4: I tried finding it for you, Petros in the moment here,
Speaker 4: but I don't have Paramount subscription, so I can't log
Speaker 4: in to get it. And YouTube has got like snippets
Speaker 4: of the show, so I don't Well, there couldn't help.
Speaker 2: Well, let's get a snippet. I mean we can't. We're
Speaker 2: not gonna play all forty four minutes of it.
Speaker 4: Case well, I thought we'd take a break and get
Speaker 4: to the second half of it, you know, I mean.
Speaker 2: All right, we got a trash lebron in the next segment.
Speaker 1: That's fine.
Speaker 2: Let's just get to we don't have a lot of
Speaker 2: time here.
Speaker 1: We'll get to the word. I look. I was happy
Speaker 1: to hear that Fred, you know, was being more friendly
Speaker 1: and going around and talking to people and being a
Speaker 1: coworker and a colleague. Today.
Speaker 2: How's the Colonne situation? Any update on that? I thought
Speaker 2: we did okay yesterday. Clothes not bad.
Speaker 1: Today.
Speaker 4: I'm running back and forth with the studios here and
Speaker 4: it's hot in that studio, so Fred must have the
Speaker 4: heater on or something, but the colone is at a
Speaker 4: minimal level.
Speaker 2: No, we are subjects, and this was never the case.
Speaker 2: You know, back in the day, you could have thermostat
Speaker 2: wars at your place of work and maybe HR would
Speaker 2: come down and say the AC is too low. We're
Speaker 2: spending too much money. That kind of too low. Now
Speaker 2: we too low. Now they just take it out of
Speaker 2: your hands, like there is some robot that determines the
Speaker 2: temperature of our studios. And especially if you work on
Speaker 2: the weekends, you very well could be suffocated. You could
Speaker 2: lose ten pounds over the course of a show because
Speaker 2: it's freaking Tim Kates Burbank infrared sonal like atmosphere. You
Speaker 2: could freeze to death hypothermia, maybe lose a digit, and
Speaker 2: there's just no answers for it. You call the office downstairs.
Speaker 1: This sounds like a question for Sweet James.
Speaker 2: Great point.
Speaker 4: I'd actually like to bring it up to him, because
Speaker 4: I'm here every Saturday and Sunday from April through October,
Speaker 4: and the air conditioning is on in the main studios
Speaker 4: where we broadcast from with all the mics and equipment.
Speaker 4: But you take a step outside into the hallway and
Speaker 4: any other part of the building. It's like ninety five
Speaker 4: because the air is not on in this place, and
Speaker 4: they don't let you control it. Nope, there's some master
Speaker 4: control that nobody knows where it is.
Speaker 1: It's like that the places in big towns, on big thoroughfares,
Speaker 1: like like Hawthorn Boulevard or Beach Boulevard and Huntington Beach,
Speaker 1: they're controlled by as we've learned Matt through our many local.
Speaker 2: Interviews, Torrents CHP.
Speaker 1: That's who screws up all the lights and makes it
Speaker 1: so we don't flow, we too low. That's who does it, CHP.
Speaker 1: It's a master control of somebody somewhere screwing it up
Speaker 1: at a corporate bureaucracy level. And that's what's happening to
Speaker 1: us in our building.
Speaker 2: And that's not cool.
Speaker 1: That's not cool. Even though Matt and I are not
Speaker 1: there today, we still.
Speaker 4: You can come here in the middle of summer on
Speaker 4: a weekend and Colin will be wearing a sweatshirt and
Speaker 4: a jacket like he's in Alaska in the middle of
Speaker 4: the cold winter and pans because it's like fifty degrees
Speaker 4: in the studio but it's ninety nine outside.
Speaker 2: That's how different it is.
Speaker 1: Should we get to the word of the day.
Speaker 2: This has been climate talk on the.
Speaker 1: Petrosen Money Show, Interior Climate Talk.
Speaker 2: His words the word of the day.
Speaker 1: You know how much I hate everybody. Somebody just texted me.
Speaker 1: Thermostats are programmed and regulated by building management. Yeah. You
Speaker 1: don't think we'd know that, you fool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we have no building management. We've got a
Speaker 2: five levels of parking garage. We have a five level
Speaker 2: parking garage. The first level isn't even maxed out. That's
Speaker 2: the current situation of our building.
Speaker 1: Hey, that's not true, Matt. I see people walking around
Speaker 1: in polos all the time.
Speaker 4: But don't park in the reserve spot to matter else
Speaker 4: you're gonna get a note on your car.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, there's plenty of spots. There was a time, though, Matt.
Speaker 1: I'm on P three, I'm on P four. I'm lost
Speaker 1: down here, all right. Your word of the day, Matt,
Speaker 1: comes from the Olympics, Norway.
Speaker 2: Oh you did it, yes, Derla home Lay read, one
Speaker 2: of Norway's top by athletes finished third. I've got to
Speaker 2: adjust my number.
Speaker 1: In the twenty kilometer individual races. So good it happened
Speaker 1: today in Italy. Congrats to him on the bronze medal,
Speaker 1: but he was upset after the race, not because of
Speaker 1: what he did in the race and what he explained
Speaker 1: after the race in Norwegian, Well, this is n r
Speaker 1: K TV. Take a listen.
Speaker 5: Some but no fo can you leave so as he
Speaker 5: can boted money? Then as since I have called my mother.
Speaker 6: And.
Speaker 1: Since you don't speak Norwegian yet, Matt, speak for yourself,
Speaker 1: let me tell you what he said. He confessed that
Speaker 1: he had been unfaithful to his girlfriend. Six months ago.
Speaker 1: I met the love of my life, the world's most beautiful,
Speaker 1: sweetest person, and three months ago I made the biggest
Speaker 1: mistake of my life and cheated on her. I'm sure
Speaker 1: many people now see me in a different light, but
Speaker 1: I only have eyes for her. He then continued by saying,
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure what I'm trying to say by
Speaker 1: saying this now, but sport has taken a back seat
Speaker 1: in recent days. I wish I could share this with her.
Speaker 1: There was a collective gasp of horror in the country
Speaker 1: of Norway. They're proud people, I know they felt embarrassed
Speaker 1: by this.
Speaker 2: Matt, I met the love of my life six months ago.
Speaker 2: Three months later, I cheated on her.
Speaker 1: This man obviously feels very deeply.
Speaker 2: Yes, this is a six month timeline, folks, Okay, talking
Speaker 2: about together for three months, cheats on her. Three months later,
Speaker 2: you're in the Olympics, you win a bronze medal in
Speaker 2: the biathlon, and you're beside yourself, overcome with emotion over
Speaker 2: the six month romance that was derailed three months into it.
Speaker 1: And Matt, you'll be happy to know as being you know, European,
Speaker 1: a lot of these people speak English as well as
Speaker 1: a second language. Sometimes they have a third or fourth
Speaker 1: language in Europe. Yeah, because of the way they live
Speaker 1: so closely with one another. Here we drive three hundred
Speaker 1: miles and you're in Kettleman City, but there you may
Speaker 1: have crossed many borders. So Adam media session later, speaking English,
Speaker 1: he was asked about what he confessed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't got any reactions from the girl that
Speaker 3: I mentioned, and I'm happy because then maybe she hasn't
Speaker 3: seen it. Maybe she will see it at the right time.
Speaker 3: I hope I don't make anything worse for her, but
Speaker 3: maybe it can help.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I hope there's a happy ending in the end. So
Speaker 3: we will see what time time will do.
Speaker 1: I cheated on somebody I was with for three months.
Speaker 1: I just made my Olympic moment about trying to get
Speaker 1: her back. I probably will feel stupid for the remainder
Speaker 1: of my life. But and no, I've yet to hear
Speaker 1: from her.
Speaker 2: But maybe she maybe she missed it, maybe she has
Speaker 2: not seen.
Speaker 1: Maybe she'll see it at the right time, right. I
Speaker 1: really hope it doesn't make good worse for her.
Speaker 2: Matt, Oh, sorry, comfortable for her? Like A, well, that's
Speaker 2: what he said. I didn't know he cheated on you.
Speaker 2: I thought you just said he was a jerk and
Speaker 2: that's why you broke up with him. Wow, humiliating for you.
Speaker 2: That's terrible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, her new man, Yeah, Bjorn Bjornson. Oh, so anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that I jumped you on that. That's okay, No,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's a big story. It's everywhere,
Speaker 1: just like the pen we had penis ejection and now
Speaker 1: we have and now we have this and the big
Speaker 1: pentagram Olympic torch.
Speaker 2: There is that too.
Speaker 7: Great?
Speaker 2: I thought I was in a Slayer concert. We love Slayer,
Speaker 2: local band.
Speaker 1: All right, it's time for the number of the same number,
Speaker 1: top number of.
Speaker 2: The days all right, here we go, just dug up
Speaker 2: off of the KTLA dot com website. Thousands be is
Speaker 2: your number of the day. You have been on top
Speaker 2: of the Waimo situation in town for quite a while.
Speaker 2: We know there are multiple issues surrounding weimo's. The amount
Speaker 2: of noise that they make while they charge on the
Speaker 2: West side of Los Angeles has led to neighborhood revolts,
Speaker 2: some regulations about when they can charge, how many can
Speaker 2: charge at a time, and trying to figure out if
Speaker 2: there's a more remote location where they can do their charging.
Speaker 2: We have heard about dudes in Arizona getting stuck in
Speaker 2: weaimo's that are spinning around in circles, but now weimo as.
Speaker 1: One was the one that stopped on the train tracks.
Speaker 2: Matt one that stopped on the train track guy had
Speaker 2: to dive out. Another one ran into a couple of
Speaker 2: park cars the other day. So with an e park
Speaker 2: that was Echo Park. Tens of thousands of car accidents
Speaker 2: every single day. However, when they're happening in cars that
Speaker 2: are not driven by humans but what's supposed to be
Speaker 2: an infallible bit of technology, well you bet your ass
Speaker 2: that those folks up on Capitol Hill want to get involved.
Speaker 2: They want to make a real show of it that
Speaker 2: they're going to try to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 2: But in this case they did pull out a little
Speaker 2: bit of a nugget. Waimo Senate hearings, lawmakers asking about
Speaker 2: safety issues and them being completely autonomous, the folks from
Speaker 2: Waymo shared that, in fact, there are remote human drivers
Speaker 2: that control the vehicles in oh certain moments when they
Speaker 2: get a little sideways.
Speaker 1: How was what the happened in Echo Park? The human
Speaker 1: was the one that boloed into the three part cars
Speaker 1: and almost ran over an old lady.
Speaker 2: And you would think, okay, a bunch of cars driving
Speaker 2: around West La. These drivers at they set up in
Speaker 2: a little little headquarters with a bunch of monitors there
Speaker 2: in Century City. Yeah yeah, like Sliver right, maybe mar Vista,
Speaker 2: you know, got a nice little headquarters there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Where are they at.
Speaker 2: They're in the Philippines. Oh, come on the uh.
Speaker 1: What ride they drive on the Philippines? That's what I mean.
Speaker 2: They are thousands of miles away.
Speaker 1: Here's a Filipino guy almost running over an old lady
Speaker 1: remotely in Echo Park. Just think I've ever heard of
Speaker 1: my life.
Speaker 2: And again, you're talking about a time difference, right, like
Speaker 2: with the current time in Let's see, current time in
Speaker 2: Manila is six twenty am, so they are six hours
Speaker 2: behind us. There are no eight hours behind us or
Speaker 2: ahead of us because it's tomorrow there. So you know,
Speaker 2: nighttime driving around or morning driving around, might have a
Speaker 2: dude that is like, you know, karaoke.
Speaker 1: Attired joy day, a tired Filipino karaoke start trying to
Speaker 1: drive waymos through the night.
Speaker 2: Uh so next time you decide to hop in a waymo.
Speaker 2: And I don't know anybody that's taking a weymo yet.
Speaker 2: I don't have anyone in my life.
Speaker 1: I mean neither. But somebody isn't.
Speaker 2: Aware of that has climbed into a weaimo.
Speaker 1: But my wife said that she was in a she
Speaker 1: was in a building in West La and she was
Speaker 1: waiting for an appointment. She was looking out the window
Speaker 1: and she saw one like stuck in an alley, like
Speaker 1: you know the band and animal house. It was there
Speaker 1: for like and she said, after her appointment she went
Speaker 1: and still doing that, going back and forth like Austin power,
Speaker 1: like Austin powers, I mean terrible. All right, it's time
Speaker 1: for Ronnie proof of life. Time for the song of
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 2: The song of the day.
Speaker 1: And proof of life.
Speaker 8: Life is what you shall get. Viagra Boys are a
Speaker 8: Swedish ensemble from Stockholm with our song of the day
Speaker 8: called Sports. And speaking of Sweden, they're doing quite well
Speaker 8: in the Winter Olympics. But I digress because you're listening
Speaker 8: to the Petros and Money Show live on AM five
Speaker 8: seventy LA Sports, the home of Dodger Baseball and Clippers basketball,
Speaker 8: where a flexilert is in place with a Clippers sporting
Speaker 8: it up this afternoon with the Rockets at Toyota Center
Speaker 8: in Houston, Texas. That all begins with Adam Osland and
Speaker 8: that coveted Clippers countdown show that begins at four o'clock.
Speaker 1: It's a coveted time slot, that's for Sureteed sir, Well, Matt,
Speaker 1: I feel like even though you had to dig and
Speaker 1: find that number of the day, and despite its simplicity,
Speaker 1: and you can't help that, you.
Speaker 2: Know, no, simple, so simple, so simple, lazy. It's just
Speaker 2: a simpleton. Hey, don't say that.
Speaker 1: I thought it was real.
Speaker 2: The last time you said that you got in trouble.
Speaker 1: I thought it was really good. I didn't know them
Speaker 1: dudes were in the Philippines. I thought for sure they
Speaker 1: were like and you know exactly as you described.
Speaker 2: Mar Vista Marvista Man.
Speaker 1: And we'll be back with the top story of the day.
Speaker 1: Filipino remote control drivers. Stand up.
Speaker 6: This is petro Send Money on Demand Demand.
Speaker 1: Hi, everybody, welcome back. It's Petrosen Money. We're happy to
Speaker 1: be here on this beautiful two edmono Tuesday. We never
Speaker 1: got to play hopeful music at noon, but we are
Speaker 1: hopeful that today's Great Sorts Talk episode finds you.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 1: We got Clippers Talk coming up at four, and then
Speaker 1: there'll be the Clippers Rockets and it's the same schedule tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Another flexile well er. I did find the episode during
Speaker 1: the break of nine oh two one oh, and it
Speaker 1: was labeled on Reddit as the nine O two to
Speaker 1: one oh Dance that cured racism, and it did so.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened since then, because clearly Steve
Speaker 1: Sanders and Walsh had it going on a long time
Speaker 1: ago while Silver was dancing up on stage. We'll get
Speaker 1: to that soon, but right now it is time for
Speaker 1: the top story of the day, Top story of it.
Speaker 2: Well, two things on the Lakers one happy one year anniversary.
Speaker 2: A year ago today, Feb ten, twenty twenty five, Luka
Speaker 2: Doncic played his first game with the Lakers. Of course,
Speaker 2: he was traded a few weeks prior to that, but
Speaker 2: was still dealing with a foot issue, ankle issue, with
Speaker 2: a leg issue. Not much as changed record wise or
Speaker 2: potential to win a title wise. The Lakers. They're thirty
Speaker 2: two and twenty. Last year on Feb ten they were
Speaker 2: thirty two and nineteen. But but you know, once you
Speaker 2: get out from under that thumb, and it felt like
Speaker 2: Clutch Sports had like six thumbs, you know, on the Lakers,
Speaker 2: and now they're down to one thumb Lebron James, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe maybe things will be headed in the right direction.
Speaker 1: What is BRONI like a like a disfigured finger, like
Speaker 1: coming out of somebody's elbow.
Speaker 2: I think he's like a hangnail on the same thumb,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like easily clipped. Yes, it's
Speaker 2: gonna hurt, you know, yeah, yeah, it costs some some
Speaker 2: damage to the ticket sales, those those six hundred seats
Speaker 2: of the South Bay Lakers, but probably gonna have to
Speaker 2: be x Well, it's gonna have to be eliminated. Here
Speaker 2: we go. Things are a little different here a year later,
Speaker 2: even though the record is essentially the same and the
Speaker 2: optimism or pessimism surrounding the team's chances at a title
Speaker 2: are the same. Luca Doncie signed a three year extension.
Speaker 2: A lot of people said, you know, maybe he doesn't
Speaker 2: want to be here. It really freaked out when he
Speaker 2: got traded from Dallas, all that sort of stuff. So
Speaker 2: that's good. Luca has committed to the team long term,
Speaker 2: and Mark Walter bought the team. And of course we
Speaker 2: know Mark Walter bought a Dodger team from Frank McCourt,
Speaker 2: a Dodger team that had made the postseason, that had
Speaker 2: been competitive for NL West titles. But certainly we're never
Speaker 2: a serious World Series contender. There were a couple players
Speaker 2: kind of exciting, but nothing that really We sure as
Speaker 2: hell tried to sell it, nobody more than Vick Elmaniaco.
Speaker 2: But perhaps once Yeah, we move on from mister James
Speaker 2: in this offseason, and the Mark Walter effect has an
Speaker 2: opportunity in and off season to take over. We'll see
Speaker 2: what we saw with the Dodgers. Now to the second part.
Speaker 2: Lebron James is it a perfect stat. No inside of
Speaker 2: a single game, there could be runs in a game,
Speaker 2: so you know, a single game plus minus is really tough.
Speaker 2: But just do want to point out last night against
Speaker 2: the Thunder, Lebron James was a minus seven that is
Speaker 2: the second worst number of all starters, behind Jake la
Speaker 2: Ravia's minus nine. Lebron was on the court for thirty
Speaker 2: six minutes, la Ravia was out there for twenty four.
Speaker 2: So talking to about a guy that was nine points
Speaker 2: worse when he was out there and he was only
Speaker 2: out there for twenty four minutes. But Alex Caruso was
Speaker 2: out there for twenty four minutes as well, twelve minutes
Speaker 2: less than Lebron James, just like Jake Larabia. That's seven
Speaker 2: minutes less than Chet Holmgren who was a plus twelve,
Speaker 2: three minutes less than Isaiah Joe who was a plus fourteen,
Speaker 2: five minutes less than Austin Reeves who was a god
Speaker 2: awful minus fourteen. But Alex Caruso was a game best
Speaker 2: plus nineteen. Alex Caruso last night, the former Laker the
Speaker 2: Nick Mazella gem that he found and unearthed and helped
Speaker 2: find that role player's way to the Lakers roster, a
Speaker 2: difference maker, a glue of a player, the cack to
Speaker 2: the tile that was Lebron James before he was scuttled
Speaker 2: by the clutch sports idiots that wanted their role players
Speaker 2: here instead of the great Alex Caruso seven of eight
Speaker 2: from the field, three or four from three to seventeen points,
Speaker 2: one steal, zero turnovers, two assists in the second half.
Speaker 2: Alex Caruso came into the game at the five forty
Speaker 2: seven mark of the third quarter with the Lakers up
Speaker 2: six red to seventy seven. By the end of the third,
Speaker 2: Caruso had canned to three. The Lakers had scored just
Speaker 2: eight points, went through a scoring drought you know, aided
Speaker 2: in part for Oklahoma City by his tenacious defense, and
Speaker 2: the Thunder went into the fourth quarter up too. He
Speaker 2: scored five points early in the fourth. He got a breathere.
Speaker 2: He came back at the two thirty mark to close
Speaker 2: the game out as the Thunder pulled the way to
Speaker 2: win by nine. That is a fifteen point swing late
Speaker 2: in the game when Caruso was on the court, helping
Speaker 2: him to his plus nineteen for the contest.
Speaker 1: But now, Matt, forgive me for being simple here, but
Speaker 1: it is a consistent thing that Lebron is one of
Speaker 1: the most negative minus players there is of starters on
Speaker 1: a playoff team in the NBA.
Speaker 2: I believe you have referred to him as minus in
Speaker 2: the past. Indeed, so you got again plus nineteen best
Speaker 2: of all players compared to a minus seven of Lebron.
Speaker 2: And when frustrations took over late in the contest. I
Speaker 2: don't know if alex Caruso had on like a little
Speaker 2: heating belt for his back or if it was one
Speaker 2: of those electronic abs stimulators you know that like vibrate
Speaker 2: or electric shocking into gett a six pack like.
Speaker 1: He has a hard time winding down after games in
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, so he ordered one r on TV late.
Speaker 2: And just got it delivered right to his city games
Speaker 2: when I sit on the bench. Here is the play
Speaker 2: by play of Lebron and Alex Caruso and their engagement.
Speaker 9: Fights across the NBA so far. Tonight and Lebron James
Speaker 9: alex Caruso former teammates here with the Lakers having words
Speaker 9: with one another. Saw Lou Door get involved.
Speaker 1: There's a Hardenstein.
Speaker 9: Gut in there, Andy Nag he got in between MA.
Speaker 9: Sure that didn't go any further. There's some laughter by the.
Speaker 1: End between those two teammates who.
Speaker 9: Won a title together in the Bubble in twenty twenty.
Speaker 9: Caruso will stay on the bench, Lebron will stay on
Speaker 9: the floor, a.
Speaker 2: Caruso smiling, laughing and why not. He's an NBA champion,
Speaker 2: a huge part of the Thunder success last year and
Speaker 2: this year. I don't know if I would say Lebron
Speaker 2: was laughing. He he seemed pretty serious. After the game,
Speaker 2: Caruso joked in his presser, Oh, yeah, we were about
Speaker 2: to fight. Continue to laugh about the incident. But Lebron
Speaker 2: was not laughing about much as he was peppered by
Speaker 2: a regular inquisitor that is played on the Petros and
Speaker 2: Money Show who may want to know what his daily
Speaker 2: routine is, who may have had a version of sciatica
Speaker 2: some some form of it, much to the disinterest of Lebron,
Speaker 2: who asked a rhetorical question that he was not seeking
Speaker 2: an answer. But here is Dan Woiki peppering Lebron James
Speaker 2: about what that team they faced last night looked like
Speaker 2: compared to what the Lakers are.
Speaker 7: Do you want me to compare us to them. No,
Speaker 7: I want to know what serves his team is on
Speaker 7: it such and that's a championship team right there. We're
Speaker 7: not We're so, what are the biggest things you think
Speaker 7: better keeping this team has? You can't sustain energy in
Speaker 7: that for forty eight minutes, and they can't. That's why
Speaker 7: they won a championship.
Speaker 2: So can't sustain energy for forty eight minutes. That's why
Speaker 2: they can win a championship and we can. Again. Lebron
Speaker 2: is in his eighth season with the Lakers. In those
Speaker 2: eight seasons, they have won a playoff series in two
Speaker 2: postseasons twice, as many as they have missed the playoffs.
Speaker 2: They have won a postseason series in two playoffs. They
Speaker 2: have missed the playoffs twice. That's what we're talking. So
Speaker 2: forgive me if I'm a little skeptical on what Lebron
Speaker 2: can do to help a team win a title. As
Speaker 2: you mentioned, p the plus, My thing here is a
Speaker 2: season long plus minus and what the average is game
Speaker 2: in and game out. Again, they are thirty two and
Speaker 2: twenty twelve over. They're in fifth place. Not terrible, not great,
Speaker 2: But when you consider the names at the top in
Speaker 2: the average plus minus per game over the season, over
Speaker 2: the course of the season, over sixty two games, sixty
Speaker 2: one for some team, sixty for others, sixty three for
Speaker 2: some Who do you see? You see Sega, Jake Yo,
Speaker 2: jess Abaxander, you see Nikola Jokic, You see Kate Cunningham
Speaker 2: on the first place Pistons. You see old Vic Wembin Yama,
Speaker 2: the Celtics, Derek White. Where's Alex Caruso? Alex Caruso is
Speaker 2: fourteenth in the NBA and average plus minus seven point
Speaker 2: seven plus seven point seven per game. Here is a
Speaker 2: list of Lakers got Austin Reeves plus two point one
Speaker 2: per game, Marcus Smart plus one point eight. Uh, look,
Speaker 2: Lucas plus point seven? Not great? Would you care to
Speaker 2: guess where Lebron is? Like if you were to rank
Speaker 2: all the NBA player, Well, you already know that with
Speaker 2: his LA minus tag, so I won't.
Speaker 1: I would say that he's very low.
Speaker 2: Two hundred and ninety eighth. Wow is where he ranks?
Speaker 1: Is it because he doesn't run down to court always?
Speaker 1: I do believe, I don't want to be simplistic.
Speaker 2: Does take into a Kellen the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 2: I do believe you are correct there. He is right
Speaker 2: behind Noah Penda of the Orlando Magic and just ahead
Speaker 2: of Elijah Martin of the Toronto Rapters. That is the
Speaker 2: company that he keeps. Kawhi Leonard, who yes, has missed
Speaker 2: twenty games, but he is a plus three point seven.
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell, who was I guess it caught some strays
Speaker 2: because of a postgame comment as teammate made about Cleveland
Speaker 2: be in his town. Donovan Mitchell is a plus five
Speaker 2: point nine, Durant plus four point nine, and Bead plus
Speaker 2: four point one point being a Lebron a minus point eight.
Speaker 2: Superstars don't hang out down there. There are no other
Speaker 2: superstars down there, especially when they're on a team that's
Speaker 2: twelve games over five hundred.
Speaker 1: But do those other superstars consistently go up and down
Speaker 1: the court? Well, I mean that would be my question,
Speaker 1: right as I would say Lebron plus plus minus is
Speaker 1: probably pretty high for a guy that goes up and
Speaker 1: down the court maybe like two thirds of the time.
Speaker 2: I think, when you you know, when you look at
Speaker 2: the offensive side across the board, looks good, looks kind
Speaker 2: of great. Actually, twenty two points on fifty percent shooting
Speaker 2: forty one bro, he's forty one bro. He's shooting fifty
Speaker 2: percent from the floor, He's averaging six rebounds, seven assists
Speaker 2: over one steal per game. He's playing thirty three minutes
Speaker 2: Like that is That's not a hey, we're we're throwing
Speaker 2: you a bone and putting you in the All Star Game.
Speaker 2: That is all Star caliber level offense. I mean, when
Speaker 2: you consider the fact that he's shooting fifty percent, scoring
Speaker 2: twenty two points, and on top of that six rebound
Speaker 2: seven assists per game, that's yeah, you're an All Star.
Speaker 2: So how in the hell are you that bad on defense?
Speaker 2: How could you possibly be that bad that your plus
Speaker 2: minus is minus point eight when you are shooting fifty percent,
Speaker 2: averaging twenty two points, six rebounds, seven assists over a steal.
Speaker 2: How literally playing I mean literally with the best player
Speaker 2: in the league. Luca leads the league in scoring thirty
Speaker 2: three per game. He is shooting forty seven percent, eight rebounds,
Speaker 2: nine assists. He fills up the box score more than
Speaker 2: any other player. Austin Reeves is sixteenth in scoring twenty
Speaker 2: six points per game, five rebounds, six assists. How is
Speaker 2: it possible that you're gonna make the case that this
Speaker 2: guy is the greatest of all time, that he's still
Speaker 2: playing at an incredibly elite level, that he gets to
Speaker 2: run with those two guys. And yes, Reeves has been
Speaker 2: out for a minute and Luca has struggled to stay healthy.
Speaker 2: I get that part, but that should be enough.
Speaker 7: Like it.
Speaker 2: If you're as good as as everybody says you are,
Speaker 2: as you're sick of fans and your hangers on and
Speaker 2: your boot lickers profess you to be there, that can't
Speaker 2: be it, man. You cannot play with those two guys
Speaker 2: that are giving you sixty points per game, and what
Speaker 2: sixty points, fourteen rebounds and fifteen assists from the other
Speaker 2: two guys on your team. They don't play defense. Their
Speaker 2: defensive rating is twenty second out of thirty, their second
Speaker 2: in effective field goal percentage. They're eleventh overall on offense.
Speaker 2: But they turn the ball over. They play god awful defense.
Speaker 2: And if you want to be the guy that gets
Speaker 2: into the post game and makes these declarative statements about
Speaker 2: why you're not a championship team, about what this team
Speaker 2: needs to do better, about how you need to get serious,
Speaker 2: well then they're probably taking their cues from you, and
Speaker 2: you do not play any defense. And that's how you
Speaker 2: end up with a minus point eight. So you talk
Speaker 2: about having and sustaining energy for forty eight minutes, but
Speaker 2: likely because it's not like football where you can really
Speaker 2: dominate time of possession, it's probably going to be pretty even.
Speaker 2: It's going to be twenty four of those minutes on
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the court that you probably ought
Speaker 2: to be focusing on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, Matt, But don't the Lakers need like
Speaker 1: a real defensive center to.
Speaker 2: They could probably use that.
Speaker 1: Shouldn't Lebron be you know, shouldn't that be bestowed to
Speaker 1: the king? Should we? Doesn't Lebron need more help?
Speaker 2: I would love to get him a defensive first point guard,
Speaker 2: like a real elite perimeter defender.
Speaker 1: Yeah. You need something like some Greyhound like whipp it guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all around and do the stuff.
Speaker 2: Needs an eraser, a chut Holmegrin type in the middle there,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know it's not Lebron's fault that it's
Speaker 1: a layup line of down there.
Speaker 2: Seems like it's partially his. Jackson Hayes, I believe you
Speaker 2: have taken because of the the issues the Lakers have.
Speaker 2: I believe you have taken to watching quite a few
Speaker 2: Laker games this year, and I do think you see
Speaker 2: what I see when I like to watch the handful
Speaker 2: of Laker games I've taken in this year, and that's
Speaker 2: a lot of Lebron's standing around on the defensive side,
Speaker 2: a lot of standing around. Well that is, if he's
Speaker 2: down there, Yeah, might not even be down there.
Speaker 1: Sometimes he's not down there, might be.
Speaker 2: Having a conversation with the official at half court.
Speaker 1: Just so you know, Matt, you know, whenever you dip
Speaker 1: your toe in the in the Lebron hater because that's
Speaker 1: what you are, hater of a legend and me too,
Speaker 1: hashtag whenever you dip your toe in that pond, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be pushback. It's gonna be the Lebron sexuals. And
Speaker 1: here's the text. Here's the text right here. It says,
Speaker 1: you idiots, if the Lakers just had five Lebrons, five kings,
Speaker 1: they'd be fifty two and oh right now, like a chessboard,
Speaker 1: how are you gonna win against the board full of kings.
Speaker 1: The Lakers need to do the right thing and just
Speaker 1: send the whole team, do the g league and let
Speaker 1: he and baby King calone themselves like a Tom Brady
Speaker 1: dog and win the ship. And he sent five black
Speaker 1: king heads win the ship.
Speaker 2: Like you behind that.
Speaker 1: He's forty one, Matt, okay, and soon he's gonna take
Speaker 1: a month off after the All Star break to rev
Speaker 1: up for the first round.
Speaker 2: Of the playoffs, right, and which they'll lose.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't help that like the other best player
Speaker 1: on the team. No, he scores like fifty points a
Speaker 1: game and is the NBA's best player. Is like seems
Speaker 1: like a limping old man holding his hamstring a lot
Speaker 1: of the time and also does not play a link
Speaker 1: of defense, right, and like he's always grabbing his like
Speaker 1: looks like literally like he's in pain at all times,
Speaker 1: unless he's yelling.
Speaker 2: At the ref, which he does quite often.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's gonna be a hell of a season. Down
Speaker 1: to stretch, Matt. Now that football is over, we really
Speaker 1: have something to concentrate on.
Speaker 2: That's I've got my focus. It is singular and he
Speaker 2: ain't playing tonight, so I got to find something else
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 1: Well. Uh, you can watch the nine o two one
Speaker 1: oero episode that cured racism squash It, which we will
Speaker 1: get into next. I guess Rodney and Ronnie and Fred's
Speaker 1: relationship is offline.
Speaker 2: Now ve agreed to not air their grievances. It must
Speaker 2: be that that's my all behind closed doors.
Speaker 1: You have not there, you know, you know we're not there,
Speaker 1: so we don't know.
Speaker 2: There's no there there.
Speaker 1: Something happened between yesterday and today, so where my information
Speaker 1: pipeline has been cut off? But we can still squash it.
Speaker 1: In the next segment on AMPI seventy LA.

Speaker 1: your Waimos story, somebody texted me from Arizona said the
Speaker 1: train tracks one was here in Tempe. Yes, I remember
Speaker 1: that we had that story, and I've used Wamo's before
Speaker 1: and it's kind of cool. No driver to ask, Hey,
Speaker 1: so what do you do for a living? Hey, chatty,
Speaker 1: Kathy leave me alone. I mean, I get that part
Speaker 1: of it. But now that Matt says there's a Filipino
Speaker 1: guy with a joystick who's been doing bon Jovi karaoke
Speaker 1: all night, right, you know, it makes it makes it
Speaker 1: a little tenuous, there's no doubt. And one other guy said,
Speaker 1: way mo, people that you think ride them. And then
Speaker 1: this guy says, dancing don't solve racism. You gotta stroke
Speaker 1: a chuck. I don't think stroking a check does either, sir.
Speaker 1: But uh, that brings us to Matt. Would you like
Speaker 1: to hear now I was wrong on a couple counts.
Speaker 1: This is the episode that solved racism and squashed it.
Speaker 1: Like I was trying to bring up the Fred and
Speaker 1: rod Ronnie Ai conflict yesterday on our air, the episode
Speaker 1: that squashed it on nine O two one zero was
Speaker 1: while they were still in high school, before Valerie Malone
Speaker 1: and her Big missiles showed up Kelly Kapowski, And it
Speaker 1: was in high school. It was not at the peach
Speaker 1: Pit after dark. It was at a dance in high school.
Speaker 1: But Silver is on stage dancing like an idiot.
Speaker 2: Wait, did squash? It wasn't at the peach pit.
Speaker 1: I don't believe.
Speaker 2: Well, I thought I remembered it being at the peach Pit.
Speaker 1: So did I. And there might be two episodes that
Speaker 1: solved racism because they didn't get all of it the
Speaker 1: first time, you know, kind of like a you know,
Speaker 1: like a like a doctor pimple popper. But here would
Speaker 1: you like to hear some of the one in the
Speaker 1: gym in the high school?
Speaker 3: Matt?
Speaker 2: Most definitely I will.
Speaker 1: Because what's happening here? What's your what's your notice is
Speaker 1: there's people that tried to bring Brand Brandon and his friends,
Speaker 1: the not racist West Beverly kids, brought in black kids too,
Speaker 1: and now there's like tension at the dance, and you
Speaker 1: know who's bringing most of the tension, Matt, like always cops, Okay,
Speaker 1: I was going to guess Steve Sanders but no, Sanders
Speaker 1: is one of the good guys in this situation. All right,
Speaker 1: let's have it.
Speaker 7: I think it's too paralyzed by fear. I just didn't
Speaker 7: see this coming.
Speaker 2: No one could have. Man, are you out of your mind? Brandon?
Speaker 7: Anybody could have.
Speaker 2: Why don't you just give it a rest?
Speaker 7: Okay, you're only making things worse.
Speaker 8: Hey, that's enough, Brandon Brand.
Speaker 1: Did you hear the cop come in and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's turn up the lights and you're making it worse? Man, man,
Speaker 1: because that's seventeen year olds talk to a cop in
Speaker 1: like a de EA jacket.
Speaker 10: Right, of these games, David, just keep playing. Get the
Speaker 10: show shut out of here. Hey hey, hey, hey, they're

Speaker 1: Wait stop it. Do you want to see the white
Speaker 1: chick is going to come in to dance with the
Speaker 1: black guy and that's gonna settle everybody down. And then

Speaker 1: guy to dance, and that shows that we're all in
Speaker 1: the same game.

Speaker 1: I felt great that they that they were that Wes
Speaker 1: Beverley let those black kids at their dance and they
Speaker 1: let them dance with their dates.
Speaker 8: Not so the money was elected elected.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody loves them.
Speaker 2: Tech it out.
Speaker 1: I don't know about the peach Pit or my misinformation
Speaker 1: from earlier.
Speaker 2: But that's the worst peach Pit episode. I'm almost positive
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 1: That's the kind of good feelings I think that they
Speaker 1: had in the studio today, and I can't say for sure.
Speaker 1: And when I tried to bring it up, I kind
Speaker 1: of got the colt the shoulder frio, kind of like
Speaker 1: that you weren't there. You don't know what it was
Speaker 1: like for the truce, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I know what you're saying.
Speaker 1: You don't know what it was like that day in
Speaker 1: West Beverly when Black danced with White to David Silver's
Speaker 1: mediocre music.
Speaker 2: I just wish we had a peach Pit after dark
Speaker 2: we could have hung out at.
Speaker 1: Or like the Attic.
Speaker 2: Or the Max at you know the Max from uh
Speaker 2: Saved by the Bell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a different set in your life where everything
Speaker 1: could happen right. Sadly, Matt Tory Spelling is now a
Speaker 1: hoarder in a rented property. Oh well, that's better than Dylan.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's dead, Yeah, which is very unfortunate. We'll be
Speaker 1: back with your work. Oh no, we're gonna do quickets
