Speaker 4: of a big deal.
Speaker 3: We went awards even if.
Speaker 4: There were show, But I would like to thank someone
Speaker 4: who never shows up empty handed, one of our favorites,
Speaker 4: Carlos in the absence from Brooklyn.
Speaker 5: Carlos, what's the deal, dude?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I see like you're repping Brooklyn, like your
Speaker 2: biggie smalls, Like you have a Brooklyn right, you have
Speaker 2: like a Subway shirt on, you have a Brooklyn Dodgers
Speaker 2: hat in Anaheim territory, but you're not from Brooklyn.
Speaker 3: Copy that, all right.
Speaker 4: Carlos gave us the PMS five seventy People's Choice Award
Speaker 4: from twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: We are the choice of the people at a major
Speaker 2: all sports bar, at a chain restaurant.
Speaker 4: It's the size of Rhode Island. P I heard somebody
Speaker 4: say that once.
Speaker 2: You know, usually when hikers die, they get lost, like
Speaker 2: in a Yosemite and somebody, or the San Bordin and
Speaker 2: Mount Shasta or sand Burdou Mount Maldy. But every once
Speaker 2: in a while a shopper will get lost here at
Speaker 2: the marketplace in Irvine and die. And it is a
Speaker 2: terrible thing. It happens maybe once every four or five years.
Speaker 2: Because the marketplace in Irvine so large, it's so massive.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 4: It's not like that mall and Carson that's very you
Speaker 4: see you mean the Carson mall.
Speaker 3: No, I shouldn't say that.
Speaker 4: It is not like the Long Beach marketplace off the
Speaker 4: six so five at Carson people.
Speaker 5: I don't want to lost you a lot. That's not cool.
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about that. I lost my
Speaker 2: car once. Some sais because I'm I was stolen. I
Speaker 2: swear to God's a line. I swear to God it
Speaker 2: was stolen. They stole my car. I wasn't drunk. They
Speaker 2: stole my car and then they brought it back to
Speaker 2: make me look.
Speaker 4: Like a role Are you sure that you did not
Speaker 4: just misplace it and you have walked to a different
Speaker 4: lot from the movie theater.
Speaker 5: Listen, I've been around, you know, and I'm sure.
Speaker 2: It was more right there and it's been stolen. Are
Speaker 2: you sure though? All right, full disclosure, you want to
Speaker 2: hear the story.
Speaker 3: Five, yes, they want to hear the story.
Speaker 2: They paid Matt and I and you listen, you guys
Speaker 2: are gonna be pretty envious film. You guys are gonna
Speaker 2: feel like losers when Matt and I are such a
Speaker 2: big deal. Okay, Matt and I got paid five hundred
Speaker 2: dollars each. That's right to go see the Fat Lady comedian.
Speaker 4: Movie Melissa McCarthy Spot Spy with Jason Bateman.
Speaker 2: And lead is that She's fat, right, And we and
Speaker 2: we watched that. We watched the movie by ourselves. They
Speaker 2: screened it in a theater for just us.
Speaker 5: I think it was either that or no one else
Speaker 5: was interested in the movie.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 2: You know, seeing a movie at ten am in Long
Speaker 2: Beach isn't exactly what most people do on a weekday.
Speaker 2: And I misplaced my truck. Okay, it's only like a
Speaker 2: two and a half ton truck. And Matt had to
Speaker 2: help me find the security people, and we were going
Speaker 2: driving around the whole area.
Speaker 4: The whole lot in a golf cart. Not the largest lot,
Speaker 4: by the way, not a very large it.
Speaker 5: Felt large that day.
Speaker 2: And I, other than the fact that some conspiracy theorists
Speaker 2: still believed that my truck was stolen and then brought
Speaker 2: back to make me look like a fool. We did
Speaker 2: locate the truck in a different parking lot that I
Speaker 2: had originally remember that I parked in, and the crisis
Speaker 2: was averted us. But I was positive, like, wow, I've
Speaker 2: never had my car stolen. I've had it towed away,
Speaker 2: but I've never had it stolen. And that was a
Speaker 2: terrible moment in my life.
Speaker 4: The security detail never once thought to call the police
Speaker 4: to file a stolen car. They just kept putting us
Speaker 4: in the cart, like, what do you say we drive
Speaker 4: her on again?
Speaker 5: They just let's just check one more time.
Speaker 2: They were convinced that they had a short term memory
Speaker 2: problem with a local stoner. And perhaps they were right. Yeah, perhaps,
Speaker 2: but it remains a mystery to this day. Indeed, still
Speaker 2: nobody really knows why Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald.
Speaker 4: Oh and a hell of a movie, by the way,
Speaker 4: Hey Oswalt, all right?
Speaker 2: That brings speaking of history, that brings me to the
Speaker 2: word of the day today. With his words, the word
Speaker 2: of the day, I don't know if you want to
Speaker 2: pull it, Kates, I don't even want to hear it,
Speaker 2: because it depresses me. But there coming out with a
Speaker 2: he Man movie in the summer.
Speaker 5: He Man.
Speaker 4: The last time this happened, it did not go well.
Speaker 3: You're right, it did not go well. Kevin Smith.
Speaker 2: He Man is a great cartoon from my childhood that
Speaker 2: I love. I love its homo erotic nature. I love
Speaker 2: how swoll he Man is. It reminds me of my
Speaker 2: older brother Tosso was very much like a perfect guy,
Speaker 2: and that's how he Man was. It's hard to screw
Speaker 2: up he Man. Then they had the he Man spin
Speaker 2: off with his hot sister Shira. Right awesome. But things
Speaker 2: have taken a dark turn here in the twenty first century,
Speaker 2: much like the Caviard Thief. He might be here, it
Speaker 2: could be right next to you. Not since the Nightstalker
Speaker 2: was admission vieho have we had such public fear.
Speaker 3: That kevy yarthief could be at this pjas right now.
Speaker 2: So, like five or six people sent me, I guess
Speaker 2: the trailer must have come out this morning, because five
Speaker 2: or six people sent me the he Man trailer of
Speaker 2: a live action he Man movie coming out in the summer,
Speaker 2: big production.
Speaker 4: Now there's already been a live action he Man film, right,
Speaker 4: Dolph lundering was he he was Prince Adam and he
Speaker 4: Man heard that.
Speaker 2: So that's that was what like probably late eighties.
Speaker 3: I would guess things.
Speaker 2: Have taken a dark turn into twenty first cent.
Speaker 4: Is this going somewhere that we don't really want to go? No,
Speaker 4: I mean they like Zach Effron or something or No.
Speaker 2: Guy looks like he was just like, I don't you know,
Speaker 2: I'm so old that I don't even know who the
Speaker 2: young actors are anymore.
Speaker 5: He looks like it's some white guy.
Speaker 2: It's wall and like, I guess he's working like a
Speaker 2: normal job in the real world, but it's that construction guy. No,
Speaker 2: he works at a desk and they had his pronouns
Speaker 2: on his desk. He him, oh man. But I thought like,
Speaker 2: maybe that's because of he Man. Maybe they're not, you know,
Speaker 2: super progressive. Because I don't want to see progressive he man.
Speaker 2: I want to see homo erotic fisto he man, freaking
Speaker 2: fisto man ram man, fisto, arms, gay club mustache. It's
Speaker 2: like cruising with al Pacino as a cartoon, great great stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't want to see woke he man. Not that
Speaker 2: I'm against it, but I don't want to see it.
Speaker 2: But then maybe that he him was because of he Man, right,
Speaker 2: and he's gonna end up with Tila in another world.
Speaker 2: But I it really took a lot of air out
Speaker 2: of my balloon watching the promo or whatever you call it,
Speaker 2: the trailer, and it was a long ass trailer, like, Hey,
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a big, big deal now. What
Speaker 2: happened last time was a couple of years back. Kevin Smith,
Speaker 2: the great comic book rider and the movie maker. He
Speaker 2: made a he Man cartoon series. I was very excited about.
Speaker 2: And one of our listeners who worked for Mattel sending
Speaker 2: me t shirts promotional items, and I was excited. And
Speaker 2: then I watched it and he Man dies in the
Speaker 2: first thirty seconds and it's all about Tila and her
Speaker 2: lesbian lover.
Speaker 3: Seriously true story.
Speaker 2: And Tela, Tila has a severe lesbian haircut, and not
Speaker 2: that there's anything wrong with it, but she's got like
Speaker 2: a slanted like a you know, like a froud bluch
Speaker 2: and like Nazi thing going and uh, and she has uh.
Speaker 2: Her girlfriend is a person of color. So they check
Speaker 2: a lot of boxes, but not the box of entertainment.
Speaker 2: So I will not be going to the he Man
Speaker 2: live action unless there's something What.
Speaker 3: If you're Fletcher's like, I want to go see he Man?
Speaker 2: You're gonna go?
Speaker 5: Is he Man riding an electric bike into oblivion?
Speaker 3: That he won't watch it.
Speaker 2: Unless he Man is wrapping in uh in auto tuned.
Speaker 2: I'm sure that it will not be seen by my
Speaker 2: troglodite child.
Speaker 5: Anyway.
Speaker 2: Just take a look at the promo. Judge for yourself.
Speaker 2: I'm not the end all be all or a all
Speaker 2: be all as Lebron Jamie. I am not the a
Speaker 2: all be all of what's entertaining. Obviously, things have passed
Speaker 2: me by.
Speaker 3: Looks like Idris elba is man at arms.
Speaker 4: When I talk about the man at arms, some acting shops.
Speaker 2: Man at arms has to be a white swool guy
Speaker 2: with a mustache. He looks like a cop in the
Speaker 2: eighty just just as likely to defeat skeletory as he
Speaker 2: is to sonomize you with a billy club.
Speaker 4: The Mayor is canceled. The mayor is canceled on us.
Speaker 4: We had him booked, but he is now canceled.
Speaker 5: The worst part is I haven't even started drinking.
Speaker 3: Imagine where we can go?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry anyway, don't watch the promo because well watching
Speaker 2: and then may judge for yourself. Maybe when I saw
Speaker 2: the he him, maybe I just turned off, and maybe
Speaker 2: that's my fault, my fault for being an old white guy.
Speaker 2: Here's my number number.
Speaker 4: Well, if this didn't upset everybody, if that didn't upset everybody,
Speaker 4: maybe we can just kind of clean up and make
Speaker 4: sure that we offend the last group of folks that
Speaker 4: wasn't you.
Speaker 5: Want to hit a spare. I want to pick up
Speaker 5: the spare here.
Speaker 3: Your number of the day is five hundred and eighty.
Speaker 4: Turns out that America is getting less fat thanks to.
Speaker 2: The non from.
Speaker 4: Fat drugs, the GLP one weight loss drugs.
Speaker 3: We go v exactly. Nothing is everything.
Speaker 5: That's that's psiriasis.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 4: This though P is going to potentially, they believe, and
Speaker 4: this is a reason to invest in airline stocks. Is
Speaker 4: going to save the aviation industry as much as six
Speaker 4: hundred million dollars per year because people are not fat
Speaker 4: like they used to be. And when you shave thousands
Speaker 4: of pounds off a one hundred and seventy to two
Speaker 4: hundred and ninety person flight, you save a whole bunch
Speaker 4: of money. In fuel with the same number of asses
Speaker 4: and seats, but with a lot less poundage. So they're
Speaker 4: saying airlines may be the big investment to make because
Speaker 4: of the introduction of golp one weight loss drugs, people
Speaker 4: getting slimmer, thus airline and their flights getting lighter, and
Speaker 4: fuel costs being reduced dramatically thanks to the ozembic.
Speaker 2: Well, why wouldn't they if that's the case, right, if
Speaker 2: you can lighten up like one or two or three
Speaker 2: or everybody on the plane right before they get on
Speaker 2: the plane, why don't they announce like, hey, we're gonna
Speaker 2: get on the plane. Why did everybody try to blow
Speaker 2: it out? You know, we'll get here. We'll give you
Speaker 2: fifty dollars rebate if you blow it out right now,
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 4: Collectively, we could save about one hundred pounds there. I
Speaker 4: think this is going to shave thousands of pounds off
Speaker 4: the flight. I mean still, still, I mean that's a
Speaker 4: lot of blowing out to get a couple of thousand pounds.
Speaker 2: I mean, you got four hundred people on the fly
Speaker 2: and everybody blows it out.
Speaker 4: It's a big You squeeze a little vizin in their
Speaker 4: drinks and just make sure they get rid of everything.
Speaker 4: Might not want to be on that fly. It works
Speaker 4: all right. Song of the Day.
Speaker 2: The song of the Day.

Speaker 2: love coming into Irvine, and if it gets really bad,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to dive over the border to tust
Speaker 2: it like Berlin.
Speaker 4: Right in one of those roundabouts. You'll get there quickly.
Speaker 4: Traffic really moving.
Speaker 2: It's time for the top story of the day top
Speaker 2: story of it.
Speaker 4: Well, Pee, we chose a similar topic today. The Baxter
Speaker 4: bombshell that dropped yesterday of the late Laker family tumult, infighting, firings,
Speaker 4: a ten billion dollar valuation, and seven billion dollar deal
Speaker 4: split amongst six siblings is what we sort of focused
Speaker 4: on quite a bit.
Speaker 5: You should have never been born.
Speaker 4: Yes, there was that line in there about Jesse receiving
Speaker 4: a call allegedly from his sister stood out to me,
Speaker 4: and that, you know, makes sense for us. Right we're
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles. It's much more salacious. We know the buses,
Speaker 4: we know Joey, we know Jeannie, one of the great friends.
Speaker 3: Of the show, Jeanie Buzz.
Speaker 4: We watched Jesse going, you know, go from being a
Speaker 4: flat biller young scout thrust upon Mitch Kupcheck to mentor
Speaker 4: to a grown man in a flat bill hat. That
Speaker 4: did some pretty good work for the team considering where
Speaker 4: they were drafting year in and year out. But everybody
Speaker 4: else the national media decided to eshoe the Janey bus
Speaker 4: quotes from the seven thousand word piece and instead seized
Speaker 4: a pawn the on court and roster situation.
Speaker 5: Which is the most obvious part.
Speaker 3: Featuring Lebron James. I want to hear about.
Speaker 2: Mom and dad had a conversation and they said.
Speaker 3: Joe Anne and Jerry say to each other, you.
Speaker 2: Should never have been born. They were gonna have kids
Speaker 2: outside of the marriage, and that they did.
Speaker 4: We made an agreement when your old man was sleeping around,
Speaker 4: I said, you do your sowing of seeds, but don't
Speaker 4: plant those seeds anywhere and produce offspring. That's our deal.
Speaker 4: And there he did plant seeds. And now you're not
Speaker 4: supposed to be here. It's been thirty years and you
Speaker 4: should have ever been born, and instead you're walking out
Speaker 4: with a half a billion dollars.
Speaker 2: And that's not what the media talked about. The media
Speaker 2: wanted to talk about Lebron James exactly.
Speaker 4: Right, and it continues today being aw Jeanie kicked it
Speaker 4: off with the quote to another friend of the show,
Speaker 4: Sam Amock of The Athletic, saying, quote, it's really not right,
Speaker 4: given all the great things Lebron has done for the Lakers,
Speaker 4: that he had to be pulled into my family drama.
Speaker 4: To say that it wasn't appreciated is just not true
Speaker 4: and completely unfair to him.
Speaker 3: That was her quote. A right when it.
Speaker 4: Tim Bates, producer Extraordinaire, sent us a screen grab to
Speaker 4: our phones so we could share it with our listeners immediately.
Speaker 4: Nobody does breaking news like the Petro Some Money Show.
Speaker 4: It is what we excel at. So today, Pee, breaking
Speaker 4: news and big events. Yes, big events and breaking news.
Speaker 4: That's what we're known for. So because that came out
Speaker 4: in the afternoon, Look, if news never breaks when we're
Speaker 4: on the here, it's too late in the day.
Speaker 2: It typically happens in the morning. So when something like
Speaker 2: this breaks.
Speaker 5: When it does break and we're on the air.
Speaker 3: We don't care.
Speaker 5: We choose to ignore it.
Speaker 3: Exactly right, That's exactly right.
Speaker 4: But when it breaks in the afternoon, that means the
Speaker 4: next morning it has an opportunity to marinate. You need
Speaker 4: the dough, the dough rises, you have a chance to
Speaker 4: really kind of get your head around. Okay, what am
Speaker 4: I going to say because I got to address this
Speaker 4: tomorrow morning on the Talking Head Show. It's a nice
Speaker 4: looking corkfront cap you got there, Pee, you want to
Speaker 4: plug that.
Speaker 2: It was given to me by a listener his brother
Speaker 2: in law's company, excel MSc Remodeling and Construction off If.
Speaker 4: You need a remodel or if you need new construction.
Speaker 4: Those are the people to reach out to.
Speaker 5: I'd love for somebody to come to my house and
Speaker 5: do some free work.
Speaker 4: That's right, especially with this rank coming folks. You want
Speaker 4: to make sure that roof is intact, and I bet
Speaker 4: those folks could help you out. But now that they've
Speaker 4: had a chance to sit with the story overnight.
Speaker 2: It has marinated like a like a barbecue chicken.
Speaker 3: Exactly right.
Speaker 4: They wake up, they get their graphics, they get their
Speaker 4: b roll, they get Genie and Lebron talking on the
Speaker 4: sideline together.
Speaker 2: His head starts bobbling around.
Speaker 3: Exactly right now.
Speaker 4: All the pro Lebron suck ups, the boot liquors have
Speaker 4: shared all day about he saved the Lakers.
Speaker 2: They can smell it in the air like the animals
Speaker 2: smell sex in the spring.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: All the Lebron sexuals.
Speaker 4: They're like, ooh, Lebron, take let me get in on this.
Speaker 4: So I get a call from class Sparks, then thank you.
Speaker 5: Let me go out and defend the king.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: How without into the fire like cave of throne for
Speaker 2: the king.
Speaker 4: This team very well could have been the Sacramento Kings.
Speaker 4: Considering how many draft picks they missed on five straight
Speaker 4: years without a playoff appearance before his arrival after just
Speaker 4: two the previous thirty four Under the Guys the guide
Speaker 4: of Jerry Buss, Lebron landed won a title in year two,
Speaker 4: got Anthony Davis made them a playoff threat every year.
Speaker 4: Packed to the house, and this is the one that
Speaker 4: everybody wants to make sure they share. This is one
Speaker 4: of my favorite points that people can make about how
Speaker 4: important Lebron was. Lebron made sure celebrities still showed up
Speaker 4: to Staples Center court side. They still made the Lakers
Speaker 4: the celebrity event of choice, and had he not come,
Speaker 4: those celebrities might not have sat in those seats.
Speaker 5: Andy Garcia is coming either way, loser.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 4: You know why be listed best man be listed best?
Speaker 5: That's wrong.
Speaker 4: But to completely overlook, as they share, celebrities were back
Speaker 4: at Staples Center when Lebron showed up.
Speaker 5: They never left Diane Cannon's corpses there.
Speaker 4: So she's still alive. She's still alive. Prove it now. Unfortunately,
Speaker 4: Glenn Frye no longer alive. He has since passed. Norm
Speaker 4: pattis sadly you know. I do it for neweb every year.
Speaker 4: That's why I was it at the eighty wood boyd Gabe,
Speaker 4: I was at the Seahawks Panthers NFC championship, Billy.
Speaker 2: That's what I do. I take care of about Fridz.
Speaker 4: But they overlook what he does do a franchise when
Speaker 4: he shows up, the influence he exerts the moles in
Speaker 4: the media who have his best interests in mind, not
Speaker 4: the teams, not the other fourteen players, not the coach,
Speaker 4: not the front office, not the owner, not the future team,
Speaker 4: not the future draft picks. Instead, it is a constant
Speaker 4: barrage of Lebron is awesome.
Speaker 2: You all suck and you are letting him down. Lebron
Speaker 2: will be known by the trail of dad that he
Speaker 2: has left exactly right. Fired coaches, broken careers, hurt feelings.
Speaker 4: Cold feet from a general manager not wanting to pull
Speaker 4: the trigger on a trade that he thinks will improve
Speaker 4: his team's chances to win an NBA title because Lebron
Speaker 4: doesn't like it. And if Lebron doesn't like it and
Speaker 4: it backfires, you bet your sweet ash you're gonna hear
Speaker 4: about it that Lebron did not get help from the
Speaker 4: front office. They made a terrible trade when they acquired
Speaker 4: Buddy Heeled. Russell Westbrook could have most definitely helped this
Speaker 4: team out. It's exactly what they needed because he would
Speaker 4: have taken pressure off Lebron bringing the ball to the court.
Speaker 4: That's how you trade for Russell Westbrook instead of Buddy Heel.
Speaker 2: They created a false media narrative. They executed it. They
Speaker 2: tell you why it's great and it doesn't work out,
Speaker 2: and they tell you why it wasn't Lebron's fault at all,
Speaker 2: and you never heard what you heard the last time.
Speaker 4: You got coaches like Frank Vogel getting fired and coaches
Speaker 4: like Darvin Ham getting hired.
Speaker 2: I saw Frank Vogel picking out of a dumpster on my.
Speaker 3: Way home here. It was terrible.
Speaker 5: His life has been destroyed.
Speaker 2: It would have.
Speaker 4: Given him a brand new pizza, but instead he was
Speaker 4: just plucking from the dumpster behind the mock.
Speaker 2: So fucking in, emaciated, just gone. He got Frank.
Speaker 3: Vogel fired, light in his eyes out.
Speaker 4: Darvnham hired, He got Darvinham fired, and his podcast partner
Speaker 4: JJ Reddick hired. All orchestrated by a basketball player who
Speaker 4: was turning forty.
Speaker 5: That's what happened.
Speaker 4: I don't care if the number fifty five pick rarely
Speaker 4: if ever makes an impact on a team, But you
Speaker 4: draft the guy's son.
Speaker 5: Made it as circus, made us all look like idiots.
Speaker 4: You put him on the roster, you give him minutes,
Speaker 4: you start him when he is not just in the conversation,
Speaker 4: but it is universally acknowledged. He is the worst player
Speaker 4: in the NBA. He's earned it, the absolute worst.
Speaker 5: Now the Luca thing.
Speaker 4: If we are to believe Rich Paul and Lebron, they
Speaker 4: landed a player that is in the conversation, is the
Speaker 4: best in the league, the best in the NBA, to
Speaker 4: pair with Lebron, to try to win a title for him.
Speaker 3: On the way, is the mayor here? Okay? Good?
Speaker 4: As soon as he's here, you tell me, and we're
Speaker 4: cutting this thing short. I do not want to upset
Speaker 4: an eighty one year old man who's been on the
Speaker 4: Irvine City Council since nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 5: Mayor's not here.

Speaker 4: you're new. You might not be here next year. This
Speaker 4: guy's been here since nineteen seventy, like you.
Speaker 2: Would think Irvine's secret service would show up and stake

Speaker 2: Hey, I had to do it that way. The mayor
Speaker 2: about that cornerback at North Hollywood High a man who

Speaker 2: the rest of Orange County depends on Irvine to be classy,
Speaker 2: that's right, and to be a great example for the
Speaker 2: rest of the towns in this wonderful county. Larry, why
Speaker 2: why have you been involved in politics for so long?
Speaker 5: Why?
Speaker 2: Decades of service to the community. What keeps you coming back?
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you.
Speaker 7: At the local level, it's really exciting to be able
Speaker 7: to make things happen. You know, if you go to
Speaker 7: Washington and you're a legislator there whatever to Actually.
Speaker 3: It's nothing but gridlock out there.
Speaker 7: Nothing locally. You see the good and the bad of
Speaker 7: the results of your policies, and that's very satisfying, especially
Speaker 7: if things.
Speaker 4: Go well well and things that do go well. Petros
Speaker 4: detailed this at the top of the show. You're moving
Speaker 4: around Irvine. You feel like, hey, I'm kind of moving around.
Speaker 4: You know, there's a good flow going. Share with us
Speaker 4: the vision for the roundabout as opposed to the stoplight,
Speaker 4: because we know Irvine is very proud of their roundabouts
Speaker 4: and how they keep things moving and get you places
Speaker 4: on top.
Speaker 2: You see the applause from the people that live here.
Speaker 5: You bet well.
Speaker 7: Roundabouts are actually a new addition to our continuing effort
Speaker 7: to keep traffic flowing and flowing safely. We're learning along
Speaker 7: the way, we learn from the experience of others elsewhere.
Speaker 7: And the truth of the matter is these roundabouts they
Speaker 7: are a lot less expensive than a signal controlled intersection,
Speaker 7: and they're a lot safer. They're safer because everybody's watching
Speaker 7: everybody else and they kind of slow down and once
Speaker 7: they get used to it, the performance of those intersections
Speaker 7: is much much better than signal control.
Speaker 4: Grab your phone at a signal, not grabbing your phone
Speaker 4: and looking at it and aroundabout.
Speaker 2: Keep trying to stay, you know, cognisant, trying to stay
Speaker 2: cognizant regardless. All right, everybody to celebrate our mayor here.
Speaker 2: When I say local, you say politics, local, local. There
Speaker 2: we go, Larry Agrin, the mayor of the beautiful city
Speaker 2: of Irvine right now. A man of great character, a
Speaker 2: man of great social leadership. Uh Now, Irvine very business
Speaker 2: friendly city. A lot of people do business in Irvine.
Speaker 2: This shopping center is the size, as I said, of
Speaker 2: the state of Rhode Island, A little bit bigger, a
Speaker 2: little bit bigger the marketplace. However, your agenda is to
Speaker 2: be even more business friendly, to do even more stuff
Speaker 2: when it comes to attracting business to the city of Irvine,
Speaker 2: which is already a very business friendly around here in
Speaker 2: Orange County. How does one go about doing more of that?
Speaker 7: Well, we've actually become a big city. We're about sixtieth
Speaker 7: largest city now in the United States of America's bigger
Speaker 7: than Pittsburgh, bigger than Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: Yeah, your stupid rivers.
Speaker 2: We got Woodbridge High that's all.
Speaker 7: We got but with that growth comes a lot of business,
Speaker 7: a lot of jobs, and a lot of need for
Speaker 7: planning for the future. And I think that's been the
Speaker 7: key to our success. That we planned from the beginning
Speaker 7: to build a city that didn't make the mistakes of
Speaker 7: other cities. Over time and inviting the business community in
Speaker 7: and creating a local permitting system that cut a lot
Speaker 7: of red tape actually helped business is to establish themselves
Speaker 7: here in Irvine. And then, of course we hold those
Speaker 7: businesses as we hold ourselves to very high standards.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about that standard because I don't
Speaker 2: know if it's because I'm I'm I'm teetering at the
Speaker 2: at the edge of fifty years old, but I have
Speaker 2: started watching a lot of city council meetings on YouTube.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I become enthralled by these meetings.
Speaker 2: And the more contentious, the better. You know, West Coast
Speaker 2: is just a mess, and Huntington Beach they're at each
Speaker 2: other's throats, even though they all share the same ideology.
Speaker 2: They're killing each other down there. I've noticed that you're
Speaker 2: meeting absolute decorum. Everybody with a real with a with
Speaker 2: a real purpose. Is that because you're the mayor and
Speaker 2: they just like a football team, they take on the
Speaker 2: personality of the head coach. Or does it have something
Speaker 2: to do with the overall vibe in the city of
Speaker 2: Irvine has been Has it always been like that? Is
Speaker 2: anybody ever throwing a shoe at you or anything like that?
Speaker 5: Pretty close?
Speaker 7: Pretty close. We've had a lot of contentious meetings, but
Speaker 7: we try and remind people, Hey, we're doing business here.
Speaker 7: Let's be respectful responsible. I like to run council meetings
Speaker 7: in a way that allows for as much public input
Speaker 7: as possible, kind of like the old town meeting. But
Speaker 7: at the same time, council members have to respect a
Speaker 7: certain decorum that allows us to do business. To get
Speaker 7: it done, people are free to come up as they
Speaker 7: do at council meetings frequently and yell at us, scream
Speaker 7: at us, say unkind things.
Speaker 2: Sure, and uh, you don't deserve it. Larry is such
Speaker 2: a nice guy.
Speaker 7: I am a nice.
Speaker 4: Guy, right, Verry, listen, I understand you don't like you know,
Speaker 4: every now and then you got to answer a tough question.
Speaker 5: So are you gonna do well?
Speaker 4: I think it's got to be asked, you know, like
Speaker 4: when you when you think about Irvine. If you're of
Speaker 4: a certain age, some of our fondest memories were spent
Speaker 4: at the great Irvine Meadows. So as a man who
Speaker 4: was the applause So I'd love to know Matt. He
Speaker 4: never got over all right, never got over it. I
Speaker 4: mean I still see Sarah McLoughlin. When I closed my eyes,
Speaker 4: I can see it. I can ask Indigo girls, Oh gosh,
Speaker 4: it was incredible. Joan Osborne was at that show from
Speaker 4: the right best show you ever saw at Irvine Meadows.
Speaker 7: I'm trying to think, uh, Anne from Heart Singer, no singer.
Speaker 2: And Annie Wilson. No, not Anne Wilson, No Seline Dion.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Did you go to Irvine Medals a lot?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: No, okay, what about Wild Rivers?
Speaker 3: Wild Rivers? Yeah about that.
Speaker 2: Wild Rivers too. We could all agree. I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to do it. We're gonna do it,
Speaker 2: but I gotta do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: At the end of last month, a terrible crime took
Speaker 2: place in Irvine. You might not. I mean, I don't
Speaker 2: know if this makes it all the way up to
Speaker 2: the Mayor's office. But a guy walked into the whole
Speaker 2: Foods over on the Irvine Center Drive. He looked unassuming.
Speaker 2: He grabbed a basket, put a couple of things in there,
Speaker 2: and then he darted over the caviar and he stole
Speaker 2: seventeen hundred dollars worth of caviar.
Speaker 3: Can you believe it?
Speaker 5: Can you give us?
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this guy remains.
Speaker 4: At large, this caviar thief, seventeen hundred bucks worth of caviar.
Speaker 2: He's making the fools of us here in Irvine. What
Speaker 2: are we gonna do?
Speaker 7: Well, that's a that's a felony.
Speaker 3: That's why we're also concerned.
Speaker 2: Look at these people there.
Speaker 7: I'm that that's a property crime. Let me just say,
Speaker 7: anybody familiar with the city of Irvin probably knows where
Speaker 7: the safest city in America right as measured by f
Speaker 7: the Eye statistics on violent crime. But I'll have to
Speaker 7: look into the caviar.
Speaker 4: That's why we wanted to bring it up when we
Speaker 4: when we mentioned the story earlier, you could see the
Speaker 4: trepidation on the faces of the people there, like, oh,
Speaker 4: we're safe.
Speaker 7: Yeah, We're still a safe city. Even if you have
Speaker 7: a harder time getting caviars cleaned down.
Speaker 2: You know nothing, And I have to say you know
Speaker 2: that that first you know, it's a slippery slope caviar theft.
Speaker 2: Next thing you know, it's like Gotham City and you
Speaker 2: need Batman, you know. So, so I'm glad that you're
Speaker 2: on top of that though. But they didn't they didn't
Speaker 2: brief you. You didn't like go before the police force
Speaker 2: and say, listen, we need this caveyard head projector or anything.
Speaker 7: No, we get, we get, we get reports of crime
Speaker 7: in the city. This one, I guess was on the radar,
Speaker 7: but it didn't shoot up to the very top.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad we could do that. That's what we've done.
Speaker 2: You see, the biggest city in the you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, right.
Speaker 4: Bigger than Pittsburgh, bigger than Cincinnati. I would assume your
Speaker 4: gdpre he probably surpasses like Wyoming in South Dakota, those
Speaker 4: leeches that suck off the federal government. But if I
Speaker 4: may ask, because you've been at this, you know for
Speaker 4: a while, how different you know, what year did you
Speaker 4: get in seventy nine?
Speaker 3: I believe I read? Is that right?
Speaker 7: We came here in the mid seventies and my wife
Speaker 7: was accepted to medical school. She's been a pediatric aserineurologist
Speaker 7: for more.
Speaker 2: Than fifty years taking care of kids. And these are
Speaker 2: people that are way too classy to be here, way too.
Speaker 7: Class That's what brought us to Irvine. And it was
Speaker 7: a small city. Then a number of friends said, in
Speaker 7: nineteen seventy eight, why don't you run for office? Run
Speaker 7: for council. There were a couple of vacancies on the
Speaker 7: council then, so about six of us got together, mapped
Speaker 7: out a campaign, and eight thousand dollars later that was
Speaker 7: considered big money in those days. We won that election.
Speaker 7: And I think it's fair to say I just kind
Speaker 7: of became addicted to local politics because of what you
Speaker 7: could do. You can actually improve your community. If you
Speaker 7: get elected, you get a position of authority. You begin
Speaker 7: to work with other people, and that's very, very rewarding.
Speaker 4: Now, you did scratch the presidential itch in nineteen ninety two,
Speaker 4: you did say, you know what, I see an opening.
Speaker 3: I don't like what HW did you know?
Speaker 4: Taken over for Reagan in eighty eight, and I can
Speaker 4: make a difference in this country.
Speaker 2: So how parts of light?
Speaker 3: How far did you go?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 7: Well, fun fact, I won three delegates to the Democratic
Speaker 7: National convention three delegates. I only fell about nineteen hundred short.
Speaker 2: Well still the majority. He's a start.
Speaker 7: But it was a time of real change in the country.
Speaker 7: The Cold War had ended, and my whole platform was
Speaker 7: to do what we could to declare a peace dividend,
Speaker 7: take those funds dedicated to military preparedness, investments in our
Speaker 7: cities and towns, and see if we could score a real,
Speaker 7: greatly forward. Some of it worked its way into the
Speaker 7: Democratic National Party platform, especially the healthcare provision. I was
Speaker 7: promoting national health insurance for everybody at the.
Speaker 4: Time, and that's silver tongue snake from Arkansas.
Speaker 2: Managed to steal the nomination from you. And look at
Speaker 2: now and look at us now regret it. That's right,
Speaker 2: the great Larry Agrin. When I say local, you say politics, local, local.
Speaker 3: This might this is great.
Speaker 2: With all due respect to Tony wu in West Covina,
Speaker 2: this could be the greatest mayoral interview, including Tony via
Speaker 2: Ragosa and anybody else we have.
