(04:17):
We are looking forward to that, and like we said,
we will have Kirbyates on in our next hour. Now,
there is a lot of celebration around town, a laudatory
reaction to Hot Dog Day starring Matt Muney Smith and
his hot Dog Cube.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
That was yesterday. Perhaps you don't want to hear it
about it anymore. You're wrong, do not want to hear
about it anymore. You can look it up. You have
no choice in the matter. You're gonna hear about it.
M seventy l A Sports on Instagram and see some
of the highlights, and see Matt's miraculous hot dog steaming machine,
which would no doubt be featured at the Chicago World's

(04:56):
Fair at the turn of the century. Before last laudatory
reaction to Brownie James scoring a basket.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Oh, MVP Chance rained down people of the Wizards fans
for doing that.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Lata Tory reaction to UCLA's dominant victory over Oregon last night.
I mean, there's a lot of great things happening and
we've been hacked down to almost nothing here on a
Frogman Friday. It's a you know, I mean, I don't know.
It's a little bit of a bummer, I gotta be honest.
And it's not the Grammy trip right is the Grammys

(05:36):
at the into it right now?

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Grammys is not at the into it. But for some reason,
they too have left town to make way for LA
to be the center of the music world.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, but nobody cares about the Grammys.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
I mean, I think we don't necessarily care well. You
know what I'm saying, is that an audience?

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Well perhaps, but it's not as big as it used
to be.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
And you know, the very very old and the very
very young. The Award shows what you got.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
The Award Shows are dead and it's getting worse and
worse and worse. And even if they weren't, I'm reasonably
certain that the city of Los Angeles could absorb a
punch like the Grammys without sending the Clippers, whose home
is in Inglewood away for two weeks. I mean, I
don't see why that has to be, but you're right,

(06:24):
it's an interesting It's just I guess it's what they're
used to, so they still do it, you know, like
a homeless guy who doesn't have a car but sits
in a driver's seat where it would be in a
parking space somewhere. I don't understand it, but there it is.
And I don't know. Are they still on a trip
next week? And what does it look like the Clippers talk?

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yes, this is schedule talk. Is the Clippers boot us
like they are today on a super flex? The Clippers
schedule is as follows. They are in Charlotte, they will
be in Toronto, on Sunday and then they are back
home all of next week Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday through Wednesday,
February twelfth, all home games before they take their version
of the Grammy Trip.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
What is that called? Is that called the Bruno Mars Trip? Like,
who's gonna be playing?

Speaker 3 (07:10):
I believe it is the golden raspberries that are being
handed out that will show up at the end to
it Dome. From February thirteenth through March fourth, half a
freaking month they are on the road. Oh you got
the All Star breaking there too, men, and the All
Star Break is in there as well. Yeah, so thirteen twenty,

(07:32):
when's the All Star Break? I forgot because I'm only
paying attention if Kaitlyn Clark was gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
You know, said that yesterday. You said that yesterday. I see.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
So they play at home on the twelfth, and then
it's All Star Break and then they're gone the thirteenth
through the March fourth.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Against This has been scheduled talk on the Patterson Money
Show on AMPI seventy LA Sports your sports show. No
time for any time. I don't have time to study.

Speaker 5 (08:01):
I'm schedule talk, you know, speaking of into it doome. Guys,
did you watch fire Aid last night? That was going
back and forth between the Forum and into it Dome
was pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
All the babies, well, that can't be part of their
Grammy trip because they didn't know this was a term
one night only. They got lucky that the Clippers weren't
playing that night. I saw Dave Grohl got behind the
drums again. Yeah, that's the first time he ever. Uh,
that's the first time he's performed since that bastard news

(08:34):
got floated out there, and so he was pretty great.
What's her name? You like? Vincent was singing? Yeah, Saint
Vincent was out there.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
Matt at eleven thirty at night, after all the performances,
Sting was kind of a letdown.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
What tipped you off about Matt Love and Sting? The
giant wide necked tight T shirts he wears everywhere. Dang,
he loves those wide neck T shirts. Sting likes to
show off half of his traps and his sinewy neck
and the very top of his chest. He likes to
show the top of his chest, almost like he's a
busty eighteenth century lady.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I mean, if I wear extra mediums, he wears extra
teams is what I would describe Sting the way his outfit.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
That's interesting you say that, though, Timothy Kates, because you know,
we work with the Beachlife Festival at iHeart and I
have a long association with Beach Life, Hills and Gullies,
you know, strikes and gutters. We're looking forward to the
Beach Life Fest which is coming up. I'm sure that'll
heat up as the as the fire stuff cools down.

(09:41):
No pun intended, but I'm looking forward to this year's lineup.
And last year Sting was there and I was like, hey,
cool Sting. And then it came to my attention that,
like you, Tim, not everybody was as excited as Matt
or may be me about old Sting coming up there with

(10:03):
his wrinkley scrote Stinger and doing his thing.

Speaker 5 (10:07):
Well last night, obviously it's a time and place you're
not gonna I mean, well, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Some of the bands really got going last night. Yeah
we really.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
He didn't message in a bottle, my god, like, it
was a pretty great way to get it kicked off.
And then he did the Stu Copeland from Ocean Park.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
You know Stu Copeland. What's the latest drummer ever did.
If he was there, then it would have been very
special because Stu Copeland put the reggae in the police.
But I don't know. I didn't watch it, so I
did not watch a fire aid it was great. I
saw a couple of clips somebody did a Long December
from the Counting Crows that I was alerted to by

(10:43):
one of my high school friends. You know, we are
very emotional, epic bro.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
So I was going to text you when Red Hawt
Chili Peppers were playing and Anthony Keta started doing his
Irish accent.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
During that song they have a Shanty.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
Yeah, it was eleven to fifteen at nine or somewhere
around there. I was like, now, you're probably sleeping.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
When you have a band for like forty years, I
guess eventually you come around to like, hey, let's do
a shanty, you know. I mean, you know Rod Stewart,
you know that eventually the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I
don't know when it'll be, and I don't know if
Matt and I will still be on the air, but
eventually the Red Hot Chili Peppers are going to be

(11:29):
doing like jazz standards. Like Rod Stewart, they seriously, it's
gonna be like pennies in a stream ba a ba
ba ba ba boo, falling leaves a sycamore bit b
b b b b b b b you know. I mean,
it's not it's not gonna be pleasant, but I do
I do see that in in in all of these

(11:49):
people Sting did one. Sting did an album of standards,
and it seemed to hurt his, uh, his cool factor
with a guy like Tim Kats, who does know what's cool. Matt,
did you watch Paesel Booma played last night? No? I did. Pluma?

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Yeah, I did not see Basil Pluma. I did not
see that.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Did you watch any of it? Matt? I did, Yeah,
I was watching. Uh.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
I was flipping back and forth between ucl Like I said,
I saw Sting, I saw a little bit of STEVIEE.
Wonder because that was around the same time. A little
bit later Stevie Wonders.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
A little bit later, Stevie Wonder has the Jerry Rice
corn rows that starts toward the very back of his head,
like his corn rows are like literally all the way
to the back of his head now, and he's he's
quite old. You know, at some point somebody should be like, hey, Stevie,
let's just lose the anyway. Stevie Nicks I heard, went
up there. What he sure he could feel it mat tight?

(12:41):
You know it's tight. They look great, Stevie Nicks got.
Speaking of Stevie's Yeah, there her one big nostril. You know,
she coke blew so much. She lost the middle nostril.
That is a fake partition, almost like one of those
blow up things in a bowling alley gutter. Uh bitch,
that's that's yeah, she's made. She blew her middle nostril out.

(13:05):
But I did not watch any of it. This is
all just stuff I heard. You heard Matt.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
Hey, Matt has a daughter who plays and sings and
a musician. I thought it was refreshing to see. I mean,
I'm not a big music guy to see Billie Eilish
and Olivia Rodrigo actually sing and it's not auto tune,
it's not all produced.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
It's like they just went out there and just sing.
It's pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Well, you know, Billy, I don't know about Olivia Rodrigo,
but you know, the Billy Eilish music pretty good. She's
hell of a writer, writes all her own stuff too,
on like half those people, you know, just get out
there and shake their ass and sing to auto tune.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
I know about Olivia Rodrigo because my daughter listens to
her music, and she has a great she does sing.
It's a lot of ballads, incredibly popular, a great deal
of She's got a lot of grievances. Oh you know,
a lot like oh yeah, that's right, that's right. A
lot like Alanis Morris, driver's license is hers. Yeah, yeah,
well I don't know, yeah, a lot like Alanis Morsett.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
You know.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Liva Rodrigo goes up there and really takes dead aim
at a few guys that have wronged her in right
in the balls, and just goes hard for however long
the concert is, just speedbags the nutsack of her ex
and then walks off the stage. It puts a towel
around her neck, you know, only to live to fight
another day. It is my impression of Olivia Rodrigo.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
But I don again and Dave's relative by marriage, Gracie Abrams,
out there incredibly popular these days.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
She might have been the one that did the longest.
Could have been well, I believe it was. I believe
you know, again, Matt, I'm just working on rumor and innuendo.
You know, I did not watch a show, but I
do have advice to ask from you concertgoer super dad
types with teenage daughters, because I have a podcast nine
year old daughter, as you guys know. And she yes,

(14:54):
oh yeah, she did do that cover pe. You're right
it was Gracie. Yeah. See Matt, see there you go.
I didn't even watch a show. Oh and I'm all
over it because I'm an Angelino unlike to see this
girl that's doing the longest embers. And it was like,
to a couple different guys, it was like, really, did
I like that song? Was I that clearly into that song?

(15:15):
When dude, it's your song, Abram. Uh, my daughter is
into this country star white boy who sings his name.
I call him Maddix back Snows, but I don't think
that's his name. I call him back back Snows Backs.
I think his name is Maddix Baxton. Okay, okay. So

(15:37):
he's like a teenage singer from Alabama. I have no
issue with him or his music. Uh, I mean, I
don't care. She likes the singer, but you know, he's
only got like he's like a reggae star at this point.
You know, he's not put out any albums, He's only
got a few singles floating around out there. He's fifteen. Yeah,
he's a young guy. And you know she's nine. Tim

(15:58):
Music's for the youth, Yeah, and she uh, he's but
the back's nose is playing stage coach right, Well you
got to take her to stage coach. Well yeah, well
that's what my wife is alleging. And you know, the
family has you know, it's not like we'd have to
stay a spot out there. Yeah, I'd have to stay
in the Desert Springs Marriott. You know, the family has

(16:18):
a has a home there. So uh, I'm but I'm like,
I'm like, dude, back Snos Baxton, We're going to go
to stage Coach and see every denim and leather bedazzled jean,
fake buobad woman. We're going to battle through all these
white people.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Well, and it's very affordable to see one artist, Like
to pay the nine hundred dollars per ticket to go
see Baxton Backsnos.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Just for one night to see Yeah, it makes a
lot of sense.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah, I think if you want to go to like all,
you know, to both days, it's like three grand or
so we.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Just want one day of back Yeah, like literally, you
know how it is on those these uh and Coachella
was really the first know one in the modern times
that that really kind of kicked off this festival culture
we live in. And I know you think it's great.
I think it's great too, because it's a great way
for people to be exposed to a lot of different music. Yeah,

(17:11):
and and and it's a great way to get a
lot of different artists in front of people. It's a
great way for artists to work. And it's cool. But
you know how the names like that, the headliners are
the real big names, and then like the smaller your
name is, like your set's probably not gonna be that long,
and it's like I'm gonna pay a thousand dollars for
backspace and he's gonna be up there for twenty five minutes.

(17:33):
He'd be like, thank you Coachella or whatever. It's gonna
walk out.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
And be like, here's the good news. I'm at stage
coach tickets right now, be because it's obviously all sold out,
but there are a few seats left through corral reserve seating, okay,
and they start at eleven hundred and ninety nine dollars.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
So there's that. You can get the uh talkdack snows
do three songs? Yeah, how many songs face backs? No
is gonna be able to do it?

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Then I would if I had to guess, probably twenty
five minutes would be his set. So you're probably looking
at five six songs. I don't know, man, You think
you get a three day ga that's sold out? You
can get a three aga plus shuttle for only seven
hundred and twenty nine dollars.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
A man, it's backs nos. I don't know, man. Anyway,
I'm struggling with that.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Three day Lindstone Saloon. You could put on your fancy
uh seven for all mankind but dazzled jeans and get
in there and shake some ass. Well, how much is
that nine hundred and seventy four bucks?

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Okay, now we're talking all. I'm all I'm saying, you know,
and the backspace he doesn't he's not gonna do like
a warm up show at the Troube. You know, he's
not gonna. No, they don't let him. You got bargoed
where you can't do anything, and he only plays in
like Houston or Austin or these places. You know he's
not even coming to like Salt Lake City because he

(18:56):
has like three songs. Right, But that's the little son
of the bitch is playing freaking stage coach. And now
it's like we reserve the place in the desert, and
now it's like the onus is on me, and it's like,
you know what am I supposed to do? Put on
a big cowboy hat and go buy tickets at the
music Plus, you know it doesn't work that way. Do
I have to call Barry? He's got a nice flow,

(19:19):
you know who goes every year to stage coach McLain
Don McClain, Yeah, our guest yesterday. You can see him
in Phoenix, Don Don Petros. He's playing.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
He's playing like a night or two before Stage Cres Ballroom. Yeah, Phoenix,
go check them out.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Oh that just got at it.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Huh, there you go. I'm clicking on tickets right now.
And it says that, so think about it. You take
a house twenty five bucks in and out bing bang in,
see the head to see the backs head Crescent Ballroom
twenty five dollars.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
That seems a lot more affordable, exactly right, But then again,
you know you put the wife and the daughter up
in a hotel and in the desert, and and you
pay for all the plane tickets. Does it level out
like that question? No? Does it level out like like
it does with Seller's advantage. That's not most definitely. They

(20:19):
called Bobby Hurley, see if you can stayed his place. Yeah,
he's a friend exactly. He's a very nice guy. He's
very welcoming. Hey, you're the cool one. How does that feel?

Speaker 5 (20:30):
Hey, tournament's over right, let's go coming out to see
Maddox Batson. How does his work if he's not playing
the made stage at stage coach?

Speaker 2 (20:38):
I don't think like you get the stages. Have you
ever been to coach ellocates?

Speaker 3 (20:42):
There's like, you know, the the electro tent in this
stage here and pay the stage.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah, you get accessed to everything. That's what coach.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
I've never been to stage coach. Now, Oh my god,
there's a shooting range well that I know that I know.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yes, they get real armadillo for people to shoot. Yeah, okay,
so that's all been established. I hope everybody enjoyed Fire
Aid got it all squared away. I know my old
friend Greg did because he's like, dude, dude, sweet fall. Dude.
You know he's headlining the night, the day or night. Well,
he won't play during the night. The day.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Mattox bats in his plane, not only Nelly freaking jelly Roll.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yes, that's the big one. Saw him when he was nothing,
saw him for free at the iHeart Theater, Tim Kates
America's Scavenger. Then they're done that two and a half
years ago. Dude.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
I remember when Jelly Row was just coming up him
before anybody I knew all about it.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
I saw him before man, I saw him, and he
was really big. And I remember too, after Kate saw
jelly Roll, I got like a play by play, like
a and then Jelly Roll did this, and then they
went off the stream and Jelly Roll started cussing. Yea,
Jelly So we're done right, We're done right? Yeah, math yeah,
jelly Roll. Guys, I just saw the future of music.

(22:03):
His name is Chilli Rolls right now. The guys winning
all the awards, right, CMA's everything. Everybody wants to work
with him. He was on last night on Fire Aid.
Yeah you want to collab? So a big thank you
to Matt Money Smith for Hot Dog Day, which was
that's what gotta started great success yesterday, laudatory. As I

(22:27):
said earlier, everybody was really excited about their hot dogs.
Matt and his steaming square hot dog machine very special.
But we gotta, you know, pick our spots with hot
dog Day. You want to saturate the market with hot dogs,
and then everybody's gonna start coming in there. Diff anything

(22:48):
just to hear Matt's heavy breathing.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
Hey, I'm gonna split that bun on the top, Split
that bun right down the middle, real steamy in your palm. Hey,
Ronnie's buns were a little different, Like I tried to
open him like a traditional bun.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
I see where people working, Well, the whole foods bun,
you have to really ask permission and you have to
like right, yeah, the whole foods. Before you split that bun,
you have to, you know, usually have to go to
like a protester. You don't have to go to a
rally with a vagina ad on the fancy Yeah. Well

(23:25):
that is. After a while, the bun will say, well,
you know, this guy lines up with my ideology and
I'm going to let him split my bun. That's usually
the extra the Whole Foods.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
The extra hot dogs went to KFI, and there was
one guy at KF. I just like I've had two,
I don't mind if I do a have three.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, the fou shure, I think we know who it is. Okay,
we'll be better hard to figure out. Oh, come on now,
Conway was too good for the hot dogs that f
him think he is for your frail bird. Not too
good for the soup at the soup kitchen. Conway turned
down our hot dogs. Must be nice with your threadbare

And this splendid young man back to Oregon with his
tail Betrina's leg. As it was delayed.

Speaker 3 (25:32):

this weekend, I must find those that are participating in
dry January that will come to an end today. Congratulations
to all of you. I do not participate in such
childish games. When I book my hotel, I make sure
there is a bar that is open to a considerable hours.

(26:35):
So when I return either from the airport after getting
my rental car, preparing for a game the next morning,
or having to stay the night, which I'll have to
do multiple times this year.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
I would like there to be a hotel bar open
for me to come by, if you will. You know
I don't do dry January, try to keep it clean.
In February, I go arm in arm with Black History
Month because it's shorter, exactly right. If you're gonna go dry,
don't go h go damp. Saying yes, I did have
a friend who did a damp January and said five days.

(27:07):
He's like, I'm gonna drink five days every Saturday. And
when I saw him drinking the other the other morning
when the kids were playing a brunch and he got
the bottomless mimosas hell of a thing to order. By
the way, I said, I thought, uh, is this one
of your days?

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Now?

Speaker 2 (27:23):
How many we got left? He's like, no, I'm good.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
It's what do you mean you're good? He's like, down
to one seventy five. It's like, what the hell's that
supposed to be? He goes that was the goal of
dry January was to cut the seven pounds.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Oh, you know a lot it's very political. A lot
of people like to move the goalposts.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
I was like, hey, man, whatever works for you. I
just don't need to be preached to about how you're
doing damp January, and I might want to think about
joining you, only to have you cut it in the
middle of the freaking month because you've hit your weight goal,
which was the point of dry januy point being watching
Illinois Nebraska, we saw a familiar sight. Pe here's the
number eighteen team in the nation. Illinois ride in a
win streak, pouring in threes. They've got one of the

(28:02):
most exciting young players in the league, Casparis Yakachonas out
of Lithuania.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
And what do they do?

Speaker 3 (28:10):
They did got as the kids like to say, by
Nebraska in Lincoln. Just ask Tim Kates. He knows all
about that venue and how intimidating it can be. Indeed,
it toot me hoping that once the preempted UCLA Oregon
game made its way onto FS one, I did not
make my way over to f S two for the
start of that, that we would see a similar atmosphere.

(28:32):
It was something that Mick Cronin specifically mentioned to Josh
Lewin and Tracy Murray after their big win the other
night up in against USC, I should say, and by
the way, I don't know if we mentioned this or not.
I forgot to acknowledge the subtle jab he had in
that postgame presser, which I appreciated, as he said, you know,

(28:53):
this is a big ten if you go all around
and these arenas are sold out and these fans are loud,
he goes like Aalen Center was tonight. But it's only
like that when we're here. I appreciated that. That's a
nice little subtle jab there for the Crosstown showdown, mak
I forgot to acknowledge that yesterday, but I did appreciate
that or the other day. But I was hoping that
we would see a similar atmosphere in Paulie Pavilion, one

(29:15):
of the most historic college basketball venues, and crossed the
land from Cameron Indoor to the fog Paulie belongs in
that conversation, and I was pleasantly surprised. I will say
I was quite pleasant, I'll put it that way.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
It seems like they did a pretty good job. You know,
a wind streak will get that for you. In LA,
they did a pretty dark community feel that we've had
around this month. You know. Tony Robbins exactly right, four
and a half million bucks.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Tony Robins, part owner of the Dodgers Doctor Fest tomorrow
David Vessey noon to three, as you mentioned earlier.

Speaker 5 (29:45):
But I was excited. I was like, there we go,
let's get Paulie alive again.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
And I started thinking about what this thing's going to
look like as we come down the stretch Pee and
I circled that contest right there, February fourth, that we're
going to see on Tuesday, Michigan State in town. Tom Izzo,
one of the all time iconic head coaches, basically similar
stature as Mick Cronin, uh, pounding up and down that sideline,

(30:11):
working that bench, against a top ten team in the
nation and iconic, especially as it pertains to the city
of Los Angeles, because it's Magic Johnson's alma mater, So
you would assume he's going to be courtside for the
Michigan State UCLA game. And kind of goes to what
Don McClain was talking to us about yesterday is there
are no free passes in the Big ten, And I

(30:32):
think that goes for the schedule that lends itself with
the Pac twelve, the former Pac twelve rivals in Oregon,
in Washington, in usc whenever they make their way into Pauli.
That's always going to have a natural feel to it
where people are going to pack it in. But now
when you got Iowa coming to town, Michigan coming to town.
Now Michigan State a top ten team in the nation,

(30:52):
a perennial contender to make a Final four, always a
threat to win an NCAA championship with one of the
most recognizable coaches that we don't normally get to see
instead of the fringes of the Pac twelve basketball schedule.
No offense to those teams, but.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Oh man, how could you I'm just saying, don't say that.
You know, it's one thing to talk bad about the
PAC twelve. You know when it was still bleeding out
and dying and Larry Scott was taking a limousine to
the Ritz Carlton on Central Park South. But now that
it's dead, you know, to go to the to go
to the grand yard and whip out your puzzo and

(31:30):
take do that thing where you're taking a picture at
the funeral, like.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
That meme scissors. I don't mean to do that. I'm
simply pointing out you did it, Nick asked. Nick asked
for the fans. He said, we travel hid.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, they looked like they did a good job.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
They did a good job, and I would assume they're
going to do a great job on Tuesday night at
seven pm when Michigan State rolls into town Penn State
on the eighth. Don't know maybe Penn State, though, does
have one of the better players pet State the players
in the league in Ace Baldwin.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
And they also have Minnesota there.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
But you get to travel to spots like Purdue to
close out the season. Indiana, Illinois iconic venues of their
own of course, at Indiana, Mackie at Purdue always exciting
and I do think for as much as Mick has
bemoaned the addition of UCLA and USC to the Big

(32:29):
Ten and the travel that they have to deal with,
he laments the loss of the PAC twelve. He's not
happy that three of these teams aren't even going to
be able to participate in the Big Ten tournament. It's
going to be trimmed from eighteen to fifteen. Why I
don't know, but that's the way it's going to go.
There is a positive, and I think the positive is
coming in the close to this schedule. How well they

(32:50):
played yesterday against a ranked team in Oregon, winning their
fifth straight. To have Michigan State, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State's
going to be coming a time with Bruce Thornton on
the twenty third of February, and then you're playing at
Historic Mackie against Matt Painter in a top ten team.
Kind of be awfully fun to watch this team down
the stretch. And the other thing that jumped out of
me last night too, you kind of have that perfect mix.

(33:14):
It's not like Illinois has got one guy left. One
guy from their team that made an Elite eight run
last year, one dude. Now they have some freshmen that
are really good, but there's a lot of transfers that
fill out that starting five.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
UCLA.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
You still got Mac, you still got Andrews, you still
got you know, Marrow, who's everybody's favorite right now. These
are homegrown dudes that are developing and become better players
under the tutelagitimate cronin. And then of course you got
your guys that have come in through the transfer portal,
and there's nothing wrong with that. And Billideau, who made
his return last night, exactly.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
Is that there.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
At the same time, it was gorgeous.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Eric Daily coming in from let's say, Billadeau from Oregon State,
Daily from Oklahoma from Oklahoma State, the Daily Planet, you
got that dude from that dude from South Dakota. Oh,
it's a perfect mix, is what I'm getting at.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
It's not a Is this why Tim Kate said right
at the beginning of the season, after they beat like
Longwood Prep, Tim Kate said, they're going to be a
Final four team. You remember that moment.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
Yeah, I think it was following the Writer game, or
maybe it was the Lehigh game. It was after the
first game of the year.

Speaker 5 (34:28):
And it is the perfect ingredients for this UCLA team. Unfortunately,
it has been like cooking a turkey. It's taking a
little long or to actually you know, you know, start
to start cooking and get to perfection. But here we
are now three and a half months later. It's real nice, right,
exactly right, Kates. And you don't want it to be dry.
You want to make sure there's still some moisture. I
don't know how that applies to cooking the turkey, to

(34:50):
make sure you pull it out and you don't let
it cook too long. I guess that would be the
the not too many transfers, because that would be overcooked. Instead,
you got these young guys that are developing.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Mara.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Certainly, I will say this about the big Man. A
lot of times big men are awkward, and when they
get all excited, it's just kind of weird because you
just can't get over the fact of how big they
are and how weird they look because they're that big.
He does a pretty damn good job of firing up
the crowd, maybe better than almost anybody else on that team,
blocking shots, flexing out his spindly frame, the alley oops,

(35:21):
the celebration after the alley oops, the to hell with
tipping it to my teammate on a block. Instead, I'm
gonna spike it into the first row and really get
an emphatic call from the PA announcer. Good on him
for not being an awkward, gangly big guy, but an enthusiastic,
emotional fire up the crowd big guy.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
I remember whenever I think of you know, and some
big people are proportionately big, like the Lopez twins, and
then there's most really big people like a Daimarra, where
they're not, you know, proportionate. And I always think about
the the Larry Bird when he pushed Kareem and Kareem's
like in his arms, Kareem and Kareem was like whereberg.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Boyban fun close to the schedule as well as you
did against Oregon. For whatever folks might be listening. Blue
Blood UCLA, Paulie Pavilion, historic Michigan State, the alma mater
of Magic Johnson, who will be in there to cheer
on the team that he took to an NCAA National

(36:25):
championship game in victory. Tom Izzo, get in there, pack, Paulie.
Let his o know that on the West Coast, Oh yeah,
we're more. Our blood is more blue than yours. You
may have had Magic Johnson, you may have had matteen
Cleaves and the flint Stones, But I'll be damned if
you think you're more of a blue blood than Ucla.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Is us been there a long time? Sure? I think
he just missed Magic Johnson, just barely missed him. Matt.
Don't forget.

Speaker 5 (36:53):
UCLA has got their longest stretch of days off in
a row here that they've had since November.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
This is a good thing for the Bruins. That's good.
Sat there.

Speaker 5 (37:00):
They played last night, Michigan State plays I think tomorrow
against usc They don't get those Spartans until Tuesday, so
they had a long night.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Did the excitement level of Bruin Talk last night? Tim
match the excitement and poly pavilion the room?

Speaker 5 (37:14):
Guys, we had five calls last night. Whoa, it was
so hot on Bruin Talk last night with people wanting
to talk. My comraes overheated and shut off mid sentence.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
Is that right? Yep?

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Thankfully cooled down with him. I don't think it was
from how hot the talk was. I think it's just
bad equipment.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
I think it was the hotness of the UCLA basketball team.
It might have been. How hot that talk was bad?
I mean you said it yourself, it was so hot.
There's a lot of excitement and Iszoe's coming to town
with his wrinkly rock face. It's exactly how you should
describe it. I'll try to get them on the show
on Monday, guys. I'll love to talk to you. The
elements have blown Izzo's face down. That's a great idea.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Kate's put the feelers out to Isa see if he
wants to join the afternoon show. He's a pleasant interview.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Tell him I spent two days over Thanksgiving hiding in
a hotel in east Lands. That's right, that'll be great
to make. Okay, that's a fabulous UCLA story there, Matt.
I think that was really great to tip the hat.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Celebrate the kids, you know, the amateur ranks, and it
was a blowout. Even when that that biddle dude with
his big hairy armpits and his tree trunk legs cut
that thing down to ten, I wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Even call him, I mean amateurs anymore.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
That's a good point. Yeah, that's a that's a very
good point. This is no longer the end.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
I don't know what they are but they anything.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
I can go to high school for the amateur ranks anymore.
No gotta go to the Friday night lights field. Then yeah,
flight over to the travel Ball. We'll be back with
more petros and money. We're on only till three o'clock,
but we got two hours of great sports talk. That
is podcast will unstreamable on the iHeartRadio app on this

(38:56):
frog Man Friday.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Go Bruin.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
That's show some money in five seventy l a sports
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
We can't say it enough.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
Tomorrow big day for the Dodger fan as it is
Dodger Fest and the parking lot because the renovations the
Dodger Stadium and David Vassie will have a setup and
he will broadcast live for three hours noon until three pm.
And as he shared with us yesterday, Shohei Otani will
join him live somewhere around two forty five. Ill of

(39:35):
course also talk with every other Dodger player that's there,
likely Manager Dave Roberts Andrew Friedman stand cast in the
whole group. They typically stop by Dave's set up and
share their thoughts on the upcoming Dodger season with our
intrepid Dodger reporter.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
I can't wait. Matt gonna be a big day, and
I'll be glued to the radio just like I am
for Bruin To That's true.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
I'm gonna listen to it at thirty seven thousand feet
on my way to Champagne, Illinois.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Hey, you mentioned that, say how to Sam for me?
All right, it's this time for on some texanci fine,
brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers. We
make it easy. I saw the Instagram live and heard
the podcast a day late, and Matt does like like
a gargoyle serving those hot dogs. The Petros and Gargoyle

(40:27):
show has a great ring to it. There is some
Instagram live documentation of hot Dog Day, not as much
as there should be, in my opinion, but I'd agree
with that. Yeah, uh, you know, I mean, you go
to the Dream Center a couple of days and like
the whole thing's littered with Dream Center stuff. We have
our own philanthropic endeavor. And and it gets one one post,

(40:53):
you know, Fred farts out of his mouth about some
Dodger thing, and and and we put it up and
parade it around like it's the Iotela's body. I'm tired
of it. When did Kate see jelly roll for free
out of Wendy's ha ha ha, that's not cool.

Speaker 5 (41:13):
I I just saw the future of music country pop.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Kate's taking shots at Sting. That's rich Florida Georgia line.
You lose the right to criticize any music. Yeah, it
was just Sting last night that was critiquing. That was it.
I love Sting's music, but not last night. Hey, you
fools her way off base. On KFI, Shannon Farren was
saying in One Nostril, One Nostril, Stevie Nicks sucked balls

(41:43):
last night. Shannon Farren One Nostril Nix was not the
tour de force that that we alleged earlier. I didn't
see it, So I'm just going off hearsay and and suggestion.
She's lost a little on her fastball, but she's still
pretty good. Do you think who's lost more movement on

(42:05):
their fastball? Pat Harvey or Stevie Nick.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
Which she's why she does not need to catch straight?
Pat Harvey does not deserved.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Ah bam, you think you're safe, Pat Harvey? And then
boom here, I am irish nuppercut. I think for one
dollars you could get Maddox Baxton to play in your
living room. Stevie Nicks is seventy six.

Speaker 7 (42:28):
Yeah yeah, Kates, I mean she is seventy Shannon, She's
seventy six years old, and she has done a lifetime
of cocaine for at least thirty people.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
She did so much cocaine that the center divider in
her nose no longer exists. She's like a lawless country
with no highway laws in her nose because the center
divider is gone. It's gone. There's no one there to
enforce those cocaine laws. I love it ever since my

(42:59):
senate divider blew out because I could do that much
more cocaine than should we cut Sting a break? Then?

Speaker 3 (43:06):
Since he's what seventy three? You know the thing also
plays the bass. You didn't get out there, but.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
You might have lost your your faith and Sting. But
if I ever lose my faith in you, yeah, God
help us all. Thank you man, Thank you appreciate that.
I can't wait for Mondays. How was your weekend? And
Ronnie asked, have you guys tried these hot dog steamers?
But to a party. They had the most interesting thing there.

(43:34):
It was a steamer. That's a retread, but I had
to do it again. You know. Fred's topic yesterday was
his caller topic was are the Lakers in it to
win it? Or are the Clippers in it to win it?
At Hey? For Red, I think the liquor is aren't

(44:00):
it the winning? I hate the flex That means I
have to start drinking early and I have s to do. Well.
You don't think we have something to do. We're very
busy people as well. Okay, I mean we were coming

(44:24):
off hot Dog Day and they want us to come
back to work less than twenty four hours after hot
Dog Day. Kidding me? And I'll get full rest after
hot dogs? And you what did you do Tim with
all the lost footage of Hot Dog Day? You know
that's bad, the lost footage? What am I missing? You

(44:45):
take a lot of Hot Dog Day stuff and it
didn't really get the run that it should. I'm seven
minutes on Instagram live. Is that not enough?

Speaker 6 (44:54):
No?

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Of course not. There's one thing on hot dog Day?
One thing, all right, I'll send it to you can
post petros Oh you will? Oh, because we don't have
you don't want to take responsibility for it. I'm just
saying I thought it was a bigger deal than we

(45:15):
made of it. I thought it really made people happy yesterday. Yeah,
and I'm happy to still be talking about it. We
still talk about it in the leagues today, and the
boss said it was great for morale around the office.
That's right. It really got us points with our new boss.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
So nobody's here today, exactly right. Everybody was there yesterday
because it was Hot Dog Day. Steffusia is still sticking
his nose in the studio seeing if there's any left over.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
We don't have any left skafus again. I ate three
and Ronnie was just looking. Ronnie was an unsung hero
of Hot Dog Day as well. Sure Ronnie ran across
the street like Frogger. He bought a bunch of stuff.
He bought extra hot dog buns, extra extra hot dogs.
They were from the Whole Food so they were a
little woe. But it was hard to split the bun.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
Well, you try to call him out, You're like, what
the hell are these hot dogs running? And he's like,
we have a song. It's all they had. Yeah, we
love Hoffey. It's what we had originally because I went
to the pavilions.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
And you did a great thing, Matt, and I do
wonder because it's not my responsibility, as few things are.
Who cleaned up the hot Dog cube of life? So
on Kate's was like a camera guy or like an
audio guy on a on a football crew or something

(46:38):
where he was the first to set up and the
last to leave after the strike. Yeah. Tim Kates really
was another unsung hero of hot Dog Day, even though
he did not post what we wanted him to post
on social media. There was no paper towels left, they're
all gone. Well, we spelled a lot of hot dog

(46:58):
water all over the very expense studio.

Speaker 5 (47:00):
And Mike number two doesn't work now because there's hot
dog juice everywhere.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Is that right?

Speaker 5 (47:05):
It's all sticky, it's gross chocolate starfish.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
All right, we'll be back. Oh yes.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
Sting played LA's fire Aid. Despite having to cancel and
postpone several performances over the past week because of a
throat infection, still went out there and played.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
But he was no jelly role.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
According to Tim Kats, cheese guy tries to be benevolent
and do something for the community, and all he does
is get crapped on by Country.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
Popkates CPC CPC. Well, we appreciate everybody listening being part
of great sports talking what we represent, which is snarky
judgment on all always. Somebody with Hot Dog Day compared

(47:57):
you to like Eli Whitney and the Cotton Gin and
it was a big Matt look. It was a it
was a great invention. Mm hmm. Hey, it changed a lot. Okay,
it did what people were saying. You know, the mister
Ferris of the Ferris Wheel, you know, Matt, Oh yeah,

(48:19):
you know, I mean you all of those things and
uh and you and your little plastic puched above the plastic,
little plastic bogs. Word number song coming up next
