Petros and Money Show


The Petros and Money Show or "PMS" is a sports talk radio program in Los Angeles. It airs on KLAC-AM, ("AM 570") every Monday through Friday from 2pm to 7pm PST. PMS is hosted by Petros Papadakis or Fatros or Porktros and Matt "Money" Smith.

On January 5, 2007, KLAC announced that The Petros and Money Show would replace a show co-hosted by Joe Grande (formerly of KPWR-FM's Big Boy's Neighborhood morning show) and former UCLA quarterback Wayne Cook.

On January 21, 2009, Petros and Money replaced Andrew Siciliano on Fox Sports Radio. The network carried the program nationwide until January 2014, when it was dropped from the national network, but remained as a local show.

For a period starting in January, 2011, the first hour was broadcast commercial free, thus the name was changed to the "Commercial-Free" hour.

The original producer of the show was David Vassegh. In March 2012, David Vassegh left to work for Dodgers radio and he was replaced by Tim Cates.

Currently they are a Local Only broadcast and they broadcast 4 hours of LA sports. If the Dodgers are on they give out a flex alert on Twitter.

While sports are central to PMS, the show also covers topics such as music, popular culture, literature, politics, and history.

Once their show has begun, Papadakis and Smith announce a word, number, and song of the day, usually in relation to sports headlines or the outcomes of games of local interest. The first hour contains a "split top story", the second has a "top story", and the third has a "flip top story". These segments traditionally consist of the biggest headlines in sports.

Every day of the week has its own title on the show: "Me First/I'm a Horse! Monday", "Tired of the Lies/La Tuya/Tu Hermano Tuesday", "Win Forever/Chin Forever Wednesday/We Just Won't Be Defeated Wednesday/Walk your bike/Watch your mouth", "Crunchy Groove/Three Things/Inglewood/Tap That Thursday", and "Frogman/Free-form Friday". As of mid-July 2009, Monday's "Tell Me How My Ass Tastes" handle was deemed no longer relevant in light of Kobe's answer to Shaq's June 2008 dis rap from which it was derived. Papadakis and Money dropped the lyric and opted for the less-controversial "I'm a horse!" In August 2009, Papadakis and Smith made two changes to their titles, replacing "I believe I can fly" Friday with "Frogman" Friday and "Throw down your arms" Thursday with "Crunchy Groove" Thursday. In light of Pete Carroll's coaching move from USC to the Seattle Seahawks, it was announced on 1/20/2010 that "Win Forever Wednesday" would be replaced by "Watch Your Mouth Wednesday" and "Walk Your Bike Wednesday". "We Just Won't Be Defeated Wednesday" will continue to be used. "Walk your bike" has turned into a movement of sorts by Papadakis, who often posts pictures of walk your bike signs through Twitter. Starting from 5/5/2010, Wednesday has also been referred to as "White Pants Wednesday", a reference to friend of the show, Mark Sanchez's white jeans worn in a GQ photo shoot.
