But right there at the marketplace, we've got Charger tickets Dodgers, We've got Clipper tickets.

I mean it's like easily one or two hundred yards due southwest of our studios here at a five seventy the Compass You can't walk with that walking that, especially in the rain. Are you kidding me? I got the scooter charging right now. I'll be over there later on this afternoon for a college football game after the show is over. That's all hat and no cattle, dude. That's what they say in Fresno about that.

first eighteen. Are you guys really gonna do that? Have they called you to ask for like memories like I remember in twenty twelve and we know they don't want anything from me. I can't wait for Marios Thanksgiving high school football dead Day. I'm coming back one day. I'm coming back to the Challenge and I'm kicking nuts. Swap to the nuts. Swap Well, have a college football whipp around coming up in the next second and in our second hour, Kates and I will talk to Alan slee Wah,

who is our NBA information guy. He does a great job the Hoops Talk podcast and all that stuff. So we will talk to slee Waw. But yes, it is a frog Man Friday from Okay Park now here the Sailor's Pride Frogmen smell the seas from man and feel the sky. Frogmen on a frog Man Friday. The Pettersen Money Show embraces the seed, specifically the Pacific Ocean, and we embrace those that protect us from it's death clutch. Especially at daylight today with all the rain at the rivers,

Coast Guard, Harbor Patrol. We got all the hobos floating down the La River. Lifeguards stay out of the river. Swift water move swift. The Navy. We respect the Navy. We also respect the great Lloyd Bridges who played Mike Nelson and the greatest television show ever see Hich Time.

why we're cool. We're cool because we're going to BJ's restaurant in brew House and Irvine at the marketplace. Did the mayor ever call you back? No, I'm full disclosure. I've not emailed the mayor yet. Whoa you lied? You lie? Am? I supposed to really email the mayor? No? I don't think so, Like I don't, Matt said, email the mayor. But it's only a two hour show. We don't need the mayor. We're gonna have a whole want the mayor, the eighty year old mayor of Irvine. I mean, you're again,

you're kind of you're asking for a placlamation. You're asked the concierges off air, ask him should we put that eighty year old mayor of her? But we had big success now two weeks two weeks ago, last week we had the mayor of critos On who used to Frank Yokoyama, who used to come on all the time when he was a city council guy, and now he's the mayor and we got a city proclamation out of it. So it's not like the first local politician we've ever talked to.

But to make our BJ shows, and every BJ's is the same, whether you're in Columbia, Missouri, or here, every BJ's is the same. So a way to make it germane to the area and hyper local is to bring on a local politician who talks about like pet spading and neutering and things like that, like outdoor vendors. Yeah, that was a big talk, Like Franka, we will not let these vendors out there brick. Yeah, this is unfair

to the businesses. You know that kind of stuff. So now that you know our background, now would you say, let's put on the eighty the eighty year old mayor of Irvine. Still no, Well, Kates, I guess has the same. But you know, if Mat as this in Jacksonville, if somebody tells Matt, hey, Kate's never even texted that guy, that's gonna be a bad look. I'll reach out. You said you did, I did? I lied you said you caught me in a lie. All right, you caught me in a lie. You said you talked to him. I

never said I talked to him. I said I reached out. You said you try. This guy has run for president in the past of the United States. Yes, he wants our freaking See, here's the problem. The mayor ci Rito's brought the proclamation. It was his idea. You guys knew nothing about this. I knew nothing about this. He texted me, what are your shirt sizes? That's all I got out of Frank. Now you want the mayor of Irvine to kind of like nudge him a little bit, Hey bring

a proclamation out to these guys. That's a little weird, Like, Hey, Sorito's did not Mayer, Can you do it for them? Now? I'm just saying we're gonna get all We're not gonna get any of the proclamations that we don't ask for. Do you think Vince Scully and his suite that's got fifty proclamations, you think he went around said I like to have one of those. I like that Hawaiian guy down he shout out to you. No, they gave him

to him. They came to him and bowed down. I get it, but unless we you're putting me in a weird spot. I'm not saying we need a proclamation. I'm just saying we're not going to get any proclamation if we're not involved with any mayors, is all I'm saying. I get this email all the time. You know you're not going to meet any prostitutes unless you go over to the whorehouse. I get this email all the time, Petros. You know what I'm saying. The Rams are hosting the

Seahawks this week, and this is an example. I didn't get one this week, but let's say whoever the teams are hosting it locally. I get an email, Hey, this is a Buck Bryant and I'm with a w r r R radio and U r r R I cover the Buffalo Bills and I'm just letting you know I'm available if you'd like to have me on to talk about the bills last week. Come on, they're behind Enemy Live. I need to reach out to you bill a w R. It makes us slip back. Don't reach out to me, sir.

If we're king myself, like, hey, mayor, come on out and uh you know, we sure would love a proclamation. You know that's that's a bad luck. But here's a bio by the way, if you don't know the guys, here's a little bio from out. You can write a little something up and chant in the bio. You could say, Petros some money were extremely excited last week when they

received a city signed proclamation from the mayor of Soritos. Yeah, you're I could go on chat GPT, which I love now, by the way, and I can write a proclamation up for you and I just every week wherever you guys are going, because this is gonna happen now for a few weeks. I'll just send it out. Hey, they're coming to your city. When this looked nice on a proclamation, Yeah, you're right. That makes us loop bootleg, That makes us look bushly. That's something the Lodge would Some of us

are afraid, No, I don't know. Some of us are afraid to ask for things. Others are very very apt to ask. Oh yeah, and we have a very difference. We have a very different philosophy when it comes to that. So I understand why you didn't reach out. So what's the old Depeche Mode song? Grabbling hands, the grabbing hands, grab all they can all for themselves. After after all, fair enough, well you could grab onto the college football

whip and picks. Coming up in the very next segment, Petro said, money continues on a sports we are your home of Dodger Baseball. That cats is really trying to keep going. You see me on sports and yeah, I saw you. It was me and DV who took over TV radio takeover. Did they say that, No, they did last time. I was hoping they'd do it. They have a graphic of like you guys talking back and forth on like CBS or No. Last time we were on though, we did like a whole back and forth radio takeover.

What are the favorite callers? What's the best worst caller? That kind of thing. Didn't getty of that. It was all, oh, TONI m VP. He out shafts shined your radio takeover. That sounded this oawny guy might catch on. That's I'm tired of it. It might catch on you kissing your dog right in front of your wife? Catch on? Oh tawny fatigue? Has that reached the apostle town fatigue? What's he gonna do with the off season? Go on Dancing with the Stars. He's gone, it's over. You're not gonna

come back till the spring. I like to see him on the Mass Singer. Actually, that'd be kind of cool if you were doing that instead. Would they pull that thing off and the girl, Oh my god, Totani. Here's a smiling Otani face like, oh hello, I'm Joelton. All right, we'll return with the college football Whip Around. Hi.

and we got You know, that's that deflates people. I think I gets them in the mood because they go in thinking, Okay, they've already lost what like thirteen in a row, whatever it is, six in a row, so the expectations are really low for Clipper fans and basketball fayers. So you think it's setting them up to win. Yeah, I mean, don't sit your bar too hot. And I saw they were beating Denver the other night. I was like,

they're gonna win. And then I looked at the morning and I saw the Djoki had fifty five points and they lost, and I was like, oh my god, Well, you saw the game plan from Tylo was let him get its points and don't let anybody else beat you. Unfortunately, they let the Joker go for fifty five in the loss. You could podcast our show and the awesome stats that we have, like Joker getting fifty five. Then yeah, I said it just earlier, just one second before. You can

podcast it on the iHeartRadio app for your smartphone. As we are a gigantic media company, and the iHeartRadio app is free and you can access the show live or on podcast whenever you want, so that's something to look forward to. You know what's cool is I've not gotten any complaints about the podcast in a while. That is good. I feel like it's Monsters inc. You know, every once in a while somebody gets a commercial interrupts that what they're listening to or something, and then they get really

mad they called. You know, I was right in the middle of this in the commercial cable. I'm sorry, thirty second commercial is going to interrupt hearing the college football whip around. Wow, that's a great idea. Let's do that. Last Friday night at the Coliseum, USC's deceptive swapping of the jerseys and selective roster juggling went unnoticed and unpenalized by the referees. It happened while I was calling the U c F Houston game in Orlando, not the owners meetings.

Were you guys buzzing about it? Like her Street was in his booth watching the Indiana game, and they filmed themselves watching the other game on a monitor reacting to it.

lease and leave for SOFI. Next season covered this in detail, as you know, Tim in September, Next Stop Inglewood, Kinglewood, Next Stop UCLA was trying twelve thousand fans per game at the Rose Bull SOFI Stadium will not solve UCLA's problems. Sir, I guarantee the UCLA Crisis Management PR team will write a press release about students being provided shuttle buses to and from Sofi. Next stop Inglewood, Next stop, Inglewood Prairie. But the students need to be able to walk to

the stadium. That's the college experience. You even have that at usc not shuttle buses seven times a season. No, the Sulfide deal stinks of some high level cronyism, kick backs and back scratching. And sure it's a better deal than they have at the Rose Bowl, but what does that mean. This will be a very fun story to follow over the next several months now. Last week times were hard on the picks. They dipped to two and five. My overall record dropped to thirty five and thirty two

for the season. Yeah, you stole over five hundred Yeah, well, yeah, that's what you said last time. My two winners were Alabama winning and covering against LSU. Plus I had West Virginia minus six and a half. They beat Colorado twenty nine to twenty two. Everybody beats Colorado now yeah, So that's like a gimme my other five picks all lost, so we need a bounce back week. So without further ado, let's go to this this week's picks and the college

football whip Wow. Friday, Minnesota six and three at Oregon nine to one, six o'clock on Fox. The Ducks are favored by twenty four and a half point. The heavily criticized Iowa offense was up to the task. Last week. Oregon had led the whole game. It led fifteen to ten with under nine minutes to play. The Oregon defense allowed a ninety three yard touchdown drive that lasted almost seven minutes. Tim Lester, the new offensive coordinator, is a

guy that I like. At Iowa last week, the Ducks offense bailed out the defense by replying with a wet and wild game winning field goal drive. Keep in mind the Ducks defense also crumbled late versus Indiana this season their playoff spot of weights. If the Ducks can win out, temperatures will be in the forties with rain on Friday night. I've got Oregon minus twenty four and a half over Minnesota.

Hoosiers are favored by twenty nine and a half. What a comeback by the Hoosiers last week with happy Valley Rock and Fernando Mendoza met his Heisman moment with a pair of incredible throws and equally incredible catches to beat Ben State. Now they face a downtron Wisconsin team that beat you dub last week. But Luke Fickle is the Willie Lowman of FBS coaches. After that close call in State College, I expect to be in full of tack

mode and leave no doubt against Wisconsin. I'm taking the Hoosiers minus twenty nine and a half.

and fight Lincoln Riley. Those are the good old days. Pitt has pieced together a solid ACC season with only one loss in conference. They're very much alive for the ACC title game birth in the playoffs spot they lost the backyard Brawl to West Virginia and everybody wrote them off. With two losses. Notre Dame is still playing on the edge and cannot afford to lose another game. But I'm taking Pitt at home plus twelve and a half. I

watched Joel Klatt's podcast this week. I know why, I don't know, but I did, And Joel said Pat Marbozi told his players doesn't matter what happens in this game against Notre Dame, it's all about winning in the ACC and Divisional and control. Dame players that yeah, and Joel lost his mind, like what is we got one hundred yards, we got Sarde launch, We've got a hashmort this is a game, is it not? I watched it. That's interesting. I didn't know that Nardeuz was saying that kind of stuff.

Oklahoma number eleven isn't this year game. It is seven and two at Alabama eight and one, twelve thirty on ABC at the time, Favored by six and a half. Last November, Alabama was eight and two with playoff hopes. That was the twenty third of November. They traveled to the Palace on the Prairie to face a five and five Oklahoma team, and what happened. What happened? The Sooners kneecapped Obama twenty four to three, and that loss is what kept the Tide out of the College Football playoff

ooh redemption. It was tough last year, that was the story. A year later, Bama will not overlook the Sooners. The Tide is playing great football and quarterback Ty Simpson is playing his way into one of the Heisman finalist spots role tied. I've got Bama minus six and a half flat whack wha. I love that Ty Simpson kid didn't transfer, waited it out at Alabama behind Jalen Milroe, and now the guy could win the Heids when this feel good

story to the NFL next year too. Number ten Texas seven and two at number five Georgia eight and one, four point thirty on ABC, we have this game on the station.

to back weeds. I think Georgia is stronger overall. Their only blemish is the three point loss to Bama. Texas has grown as the season went on, and I don't mind their opening loss to Ohio State. They did get their asses kicked in the swamp by a team that fired their coach weeks later. Oh who was also on campus on Tuesday with Kirby Smart at their practice, Billy Napier. Oh, he's just a friend of mine. Our dads go way back.

Our daddy's were coaches and Georgia together. Uh yeah, but aren't you probably picking his brain out of how we beat Texas? Shame? Well, you know, he could probably make that call less publicly. Oh, our daddy's coached together. We know each other considered, I'm taking Texas plus six and a half flat.

Since then, the Bruins lost by fifty to Indiana. It's close, and last week they fought hard only to lose twenty eight to twenty one to Nebraska without their quarterback. Sorry to say, this week's game in Columbus will look more like the Indiana game, which gives us time to ask out loud who should be the next UCLA coach. I believe Pat Fitzgerald would be the best hire. He understands

the Big Ten better than anybody they could find. Following his awkward dismount from Northwestern, that whole mess got rectified, and as far as Saturday night at the Horseshoe, quarterback Julian sand has been nearly perfect all season, and this game will be no different. I've got the Buckeyes minus thirty one and a half. Wow half is Gerald Northwestern good academic school, not great? Nil sort of like the

UCLA of the Midwest, right a little bit? I mean, he would certainly make the team tougher, I think, but there are parallels there. Although Northwestern is a private school. He's seen, Julian sayin playing a little bit this year, He's he's surrounded by so much talent, yet he's being talked about as a Heisman Trophy can. I don't know if I buy him. He distributes, that's all he does. Ken Dorsey at Miami great numbers, but he's not Ty Simpson, He's not Fromanda Mendoza number twenty one. I was six

and three at number seventeen. USC seven to two, twelve thirty on the Big Ten Network, USC favored by six and a half. We've already gone over how USC intentionally misled Northwestern and intentionally misread, misled the referees, and intentionally misled the Fox production crew last week to pull off an illegal play. So we'll flip the script and talk about USC Iowa. The Hawkeyes played as well as they could against Oregon, but they couldn't protect a sixteen to

fifteen lead in the final minute. So will Iowa be a deflated team into Coliseum like we are when we know the Clippers are coming up? Or will they come in even hungry. USC needs to beat Iowa, Oregon, and UCLA to make the College Football Playoff. None of those games are gimmes. I think USC has a significant talent advantage in this game, should be motivated to take the next step toward a playoff birth. I mean, who could cover mackay Lemon and Jacobe Lane. Nobody not for four quarters.

I've got USC minus six and a half. Don't be surprised if USC sends on a punter dressed as a band uniform guy Mick Fleetwood running around out there.

is an unthinkable eighty point nine percent. Just throw it to Jeremiah Smith. Let a run every few plays. That's what they do. So I oudly hitting the I five north in my Toyota Tacoma headed to Fresno to call Saturday's game between the Bulldogs hosting the Wyoming Cowboys at seven thirty on FS one. I offer Trent Russia ride. He'll be coming with me. Oh that's cute. I'm looking forward to visiting Fresno head coach Matt Entz, who's doing

a good job in year one. I'm also pretty sure former Fresno coach Pat Hill and his mustache will be there in the press box as well. FLA, I do crack easy under pressure. Well, I kind of do. Make sure you stop by or take a picture of that new casino off the ninety nine. I will for you. That's all you talked about, yep, all day, my underdog Pitzer, Pittsburgh and Texas plus the points. The favorites this week are Oregon, Indiana, Alabama, Ohio State and Southern cow All

minus the points. This fruit in mose Wagos. Everybody enjoy the game and we'll be right back with more Petros and money. A secret textilso roadyo, a round up, some rear action. We'll talk to Alan Sleiewah in the next hour about the Lakers, and we are going all the way till four point thirty tonight on The petroser Money Show on AM five. Seventy LA Sports, your home of the Dodgers and tonight we got Clippers.

it's exciting Clippers basketball against the Dallas Mavericks. But more and poorly tomorrow a double hitter here on a FI seventy LA four beginning at noon, All hot graz saying this every segment because you're doing the game. Yes, pregame start to noon, kick off around twelve forty three, it'll be Oklahoma and Alabama from Tuscosa, Alabama, and then we'll have the second game of the double hitter right here on am FI seventy of four to thirty. Have you

ever been at techl and Georgia. I've never been there. No, I've never been there either, have you? Okay, a few years ago, the wife and I were planning the trip. We're gonna see a high school game, a college game, and a pro game three consecutive days in Texas, Louisiana and then Alabama and then COVID hit and we didn't go. But that was our plan, was to go see three games in three days. High school game in time. That's not college game in Louisiana, and that's not your dream anymore. No,

the dreams are way bigger than that Metrosa. I'm just trying to understand that dream. I think it's kind of a cool thing to go. Dude, a bucket listing, like, how would you choose which game? We were going to find? A high school game in Dallas. This was in November, and then we were going to go to an LSU game, I believe it was, and then we were going to go to a Titans game in Nashville. So that sounds like work, sounds like fun to me. You hate to travel, well, yeah,

and I hate football games. I'm the right business there. You go, all right, let's get to it. You text us a fine brought to you by your so Cal Toyota dealers. We make it easy. Uh. There's a lot of gondola talk here. Oh, from the gondola story we did yesterday, and there's a little bit of a revive Wyoming football talk in here from the last couple of days. Well, the gondola story was the LACD council vote to twelve to one to tell metro board don't but it's still

up to the metro, right, all right. And the other thing is the Wyoming football Matt Smith had an idea that we should convince Joey Buss, who recently, you know, had all his equity sold in the Lakers, so he's not in charge of anything anymore, but he really liked sports. Apparently, Joey Buss's father, doctor Buss, went to Wyoming Joey could give.

He could become the t Boone Pickens or the Phil Knight for Wyoming football, and then somehow that would curry favor for Matt and I. I because it was our idea to connect the two like a finder's fee, and Matt would use that money to buy a special Petrosen money Del Taco to where we would do the show every day and make it like a fun sitcom Del Taco like. And I got to say that thing is fraught with brambles. I don't. I don't like the Wyoming idea. I mean a lot of holes in the story.

So if Michelle Mo doesn't show up as the fry cook or whatever, guess who's fry cooking us. Yeah, that's true. And it's like I'm fry cooking and I gotta do the whip around. I mean, come on, we just did the whip around. It was extensive. This says on the text OsO. I got stuck in the Dodger bus for almost an hour after Game three of the NLCS YEP finally got out and walked back to the Union station.

he sits in peace too. Okay, Well, wait a second. Do you want to pay seventy five bucks to park on his parking lot or do you want to take what I assume is going to be your free gondola. They're not going to charge, are they. It's free park. They're going to charge you to park at Union Station, but it probably be significantly less, right, It's not seventy five bucks, and then you risk your life on the gondola,

and then you risk your life at Union Station. Well, this is about you and your cocaine use allegend, alleged cocaine use, which is not true. You were on TV last night and it says you could tell Case is on coke because he can't stop playing with his stumps on TV. This is true. What were you doing? I just was fiddling. I was filling with my thumbs. Why are you nervous? It was a yeah, nervous energy. I guess. I don't I don't know rhyme or reason. But I

was sitting on the far end. That's not on right now. But David Vesse was sitting in the middle, and then Hardtong was sitting on the left. So I had to kind of fight to get my stuff in, you know, sitting on the end because Dave was right in the middle. Oh, you're like third base playing blackjack. Well, what do you mean you had to fight to get your stuff in? Well, day, not like they were ignoring you. Dave was turning his back to you. No, Dave looked at me once. I got a fist bump from Dave.

Lizzie by the way. But every day Del Taco petros and money remote. I'm in Ollie lunch there every day. You won't live long. Half pound green and cheese burrito for ninety nine cents. Now it's like three bucks. But he used to be ninety nine cents. Spicy Jack Casadia, they don't even to have those on the menu anymore. Bring those back. If we get into Del Taco, we'll bring it back to Spicy Jack Casadia for three twenty nine. We're not taking over at Del Taco. I'm not working

at a Del Taco. I'm not putting the show at a Deltaco. I don't want to do that. I don't want that to be my reward for hooking Joey Buss up with Wyoming football. This is the stupidest idea we've ever had. We get nuhing. Now we're assuming that somebody's gonna give us a ton of money to open a Del Taco just because we asked Joey Buss to give a ton of his money to Wyoming. And what says Wyoming's gonna let him be an influence? What does he know about college football? I could just see Matt sitting

over Joey Bus at the table. No, just just make that out to Wyoming. No, trust me, it's gonna be great. They're gonna sell out your family, the Pokes collective. It's gonna be great. They're gonna celebrate your dad. Don't worry. This says, I'm encouraging the build up of Wyoming football. If you get involved, you could still keep your West Coast nautical lifestyle and occasionally travel the free and open air of Wyoming. You could take your hatchet and your knives,

those things I do have. Get a flannel I could I have one, and boots and go along with your jean jacket. Swap the rake in the back of your Toyota for a snowshovel and you'll fit right in. It's a match made in heaven, and it makes for excellent radio fodder when you could play clips of the sons of the Pioneers. I do like that you're practically a mountain Man as it is Petro's philosophical introverted. All that's

missing is the beard. This was a topic of discussion during one of the commercial breaks yesterday with Hard Tongue and a Vassa because Vassa said real riveting Wyoming football talk to start the show, and then Hartong said, what are you talking about? So I had to explain the backstory of what you're explaining right now and this whole story that Matt came up with. And Hartong said, you guys ever been there before? Nope, Laramie, laradise. He says,

I've been there. He goes, you don't want to go there. It's desolate, it's cold, and it's always windy. He goes, you do not want to go. They said, if the wind stops blowing, everybody will fall over. So I guess Matt thinks for going to like Jackson Hole to hang out with Kanye West, that's what he thinks.

of the land of the dirt people. That's you know, that's as good of a that's as good of a text as I've gotten in a long time. Good place to stop. We'll be right back with more Petrosen money on Amhi seventy la Sports with your number words song of the day and then Alan Sliwa as we continue on Amphi seventy La Sports, your home of the Dodgers and tonight your home of riveting, mind bending clipper hoops action
