Speaker 3: your veins, and I know Ronnie felt it in his guts.
Speaker 3: On this day in the year seventeen eighteen, the city
Speaker 3: of New Orleans was founded.
Speaker 2: Did you know?
Speaker 3: Poker as we know it was invented in New Orleans,
Speaker 3: Originating in the late eighteenth century, It became widespread thanks
Speaker 3: to respected English actor Joseph Cowell reporting that he played
Speaker 3: a game that he called the most interesting card game
Speaker 3: he ever did. Play twenty cards, five apiece to four
Speaker 3: players and a round of bets on which hand was
Speaker 3: the most valuable? Poker became widespread in New Orleans was
Speaker 3: its home?
Speaker 2: Ronnie really relates to New Orleans as a French city.
Speaker 2: I go further back and relate with it more of
Speaker 2: a Spanish Spanish harbor town.
Speaker 3: That might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 2: That's right, No matter's way I do relate to it
Speaker 2: is French. You know, in the streets there's the French name,
Speaker 2: and then there's the old Spanish name, and I usually
Speaker 2: use the Spanish name that is Guya. This shrimp heead
Speaker 2: all right, It's time for the F one report Formula
Speaker 2: one man. It's return this past weekend after a five
Speaker 2: week hiatus with the cancelation of the races in Bahrain
Speaker 2: and Saudi Arabia. El Bambino. Kimmy Antonelli continued his stunning
Speaker 2: start to twenty twenty six with his third win in
Speaker 2: four Grand Prix as he secured a sensational victory in Miami.
Speaker 2: Kimmy delivered his finest all around performance of his sophomore season,
Speaker 2: recording his third consecutive pole position to go with the
Speaker 2: Grand Prix win. On Sunday. It was a complete performance
Speaker 2: for Kimmy, the youngest driver on the Formula One grid.
Speaker 2: He had to overcome several challenges going into the weekend,
Speaker 2: including a schedule change on Sunday that saw the start
Speaker 2: of the Grand Prix moved up by three hours to
Speaker 2: avoid heavy rainstorms. How about that? How about that? Yeah,
Speaker 2: rainstorms forecasting in Miami later that afternoon and they moved
Speaker 2: up the race three hours. Would they do that with
Speaker 2: a football game? They wouldn't do it for a baseball
Speaker 2: game either. Caught me by surprise. Came home, I was like,
Speaker 2: what the hell? Yeah, names damn near over. Some rain
Speaker 2: did fall Sunday morning, the wet conditions abated for most
Speaker 2: of the race and under cloudy conditions, the nineteen year
Speaker 2: old Ita Loo from Bologna delivered an impressive performance. Impressive,
Speaker 2: matt impressive because although he was on pole riding the D.
Speaker 4: I like being on the pool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you ride the D every day. He relinquished the
Speaker 2: lead once again on the rundown to turn one, something
Speaker 2: he has done every time this season that he's been
Speaker 2: on pole. But the Bambino did not panic. He did
Speaker 2: not crack easy under pressure. He survived usual carnage on
Speaker 2: lap one, which included a full three hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: degree spin by the lustful Danish Prince Max for stopping Kimmy,
Speaker 2: who had the quickest car all weekend, kept his cool
Speaker 2: and fought his way back to the front, eventually getting
Speaker 2: past reigning world champions sprite like Lando Norris and completely
Speaker 2: outperforming his teammate, the curiously odd looking George Russell. Russell
Speaker 2: who admitted on Saturday that the Miami circuit was not
Speaker 2: his favorite on the calendar, and he lived up to
Speaker 2: that remark on Sunday. He was half a second slower
Speaker 2: than his teenage teammate all weekend. He has now failed
Speaker 2: to make the podium in two successive races, finishing fourth
Speaker 2: in Miami in a car that was evidently quick enough
Speaker 2: to win the Grand Prix. What's up, George? He finished
Speaker 2: forty three seconds behind Antonelli and has three weeks to
Speaker 2: reassert himself as the number one driver for the Mercedes
Speaker 2: team when they reconvene in Montreal. The odd looking George
Speaker 2: now trails his teammate by twenty points at the top
Speaker 2: of the Driver's Championship, and when the red lights went out,
Speaker 2: a dramatic start ensued. Kimmy faced a three way scrap
Speaker 2: alongside Mad Max and Little Chuck Leclair before both the
Speaker 2: Mercedes and Red Bull cars locked up into the first corner.
Speaker 2: The lead would change hands several times and that's exciting
Speaker 2: from there, and then Kimmy overtaking Leclair, while Norris and
Speaker 2: Oscar Piastrian Verstappen all took turns at the front, separate
Speaker 2: crashes for Isaac Hadger, Pierre Ghestlee. And meanwhile the safety
Speaker 2: card deployed in the opening laps as well, ghastly at
Speaker 2: the hands of the Kiwi assassin, Liam Lawson, drop.
Speaker 3: A get out of the way.
Speaker 2: Hugly Lawson.
Speaker 4: Ugly of Lawson.
Speaker 2: You're jealous?
Speaker 1: That up?
Speaker 2: Quick up, here's mom little pick a lab Lawson, umglyam
Speaker 2: Lawson putting up.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 2: Excited yet the young kie we lost him the best
Speaker 2: who is dating former Corona del mar C King Hannah
Speaker 2: Saint John has become about as welcome as a turn
Speaker 2: in a punch bowl when it comes to wheel the
Speaker 2: wheel driving. This time it was the Frenchman gas lead
Speaker 2: who was his victim, and once the safety car cleared,
Speaker 2: it would prove to be a two horse battle between
Speaker 2: Antonelli and Norris, with sprite like Lando staying on the
Speaker 2: gearbox of the youngster during the later stages of the race,
Speaker 2: but despite the constant pressure, the Italian teenager maintained his
Speaker 2: composure to score his third victory of the campaign. Kimmy
Speaker 2: becomes the first driver ever to convert their maiden three
Speaker 2: pole positions into wins, and it's three Grand Prix victories
Speaker 2: in a row to Kimmy Antonelli.
Speaker 3: Jimmy Antonelli wins the Miami Gran Prix.
Speaker 2: Yes, whoo when what the race? What the race man?
Speaker 4: Whoo?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, very shunting, very exciting. I could hear
Speaker 2: the excited about the race. It was a bounce back
Speaker 2: weekend for the McLaren team. Matt Lando crossed the line
Speaker 2: a little over three seconds back for P two, while
Speaker 2: Oscar took the final podium spot for the Papayas, snatching
Speaker 2: P three from little Chuck Leclair, who spun on the
Speaker 2: final lap under well worn boots, costing him a podium
Speaker 2: and dropping him all the way down to sixth place
Speaker 2: after being overtaken by Russell and mad Max at the
Speaker 2: finish lin Sorry, Chuck, seems like the appropriate reaction. He
Speaker 2: was well, you know, he spun out. He would have
Speaker 2: been a podium. He was later hit with a twenty
Speaker 2: second penalty post race for repeatedly cutting corners as he
Speaker 2: desperately tried to keep his prancing horse on the track
Speaker 2: for the final lap. Tough way to end it for
Speaker 2: Little Chuck. His teammate Kim Kardashian's boyfriend Sir Lewis Alright, Hamilton.
Speaker 3: Off got moss on the net.
Speaker 2: Gala suffered Florida meage early in the race and would
Speaker 2: coax his prancing horse around the fifty seven laps for p. Six,
Speaker 2: A lot of pelvic floor damage on his girlfriend. Oh
Speaker 2: all right, tonightke it too? The met oh God a
Speaker 2: spacial outfit. Franco Colopino, You're a Colopinto would score valuable
Speaker 2: points for Alpine in p. Seven and Little Chuck fell
Speaker 2: all the way to p. Eight and the Williams of
Speaker 2: Carlos Signs and Alex Albin would round out the top
Speaker 2: ten with a double points finish for the team from Oxfordshire. Now,
Speaker 2: in three weeks time, the Formula One circuit heads to
Speaker 2: North America for the sports most historic and unpredictable weekend
Speaker 2: the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, once attended by Sadie
Speaker 2: Kates and Tina. The three weeks time tight championship battles
Speaker 2: volatile weather and one of the most unforgiving tracks on
Speaker 2: the calendar. The stage is set for a dramatic weekend
Speaker 2: at the circuit Jill's Villeneuve. The circuit rewards bravery more
Speaker 2: than perfection and who will be willing to lay it
Speaker 2: all on the line? Long straits and heavy breaking zones
Speaker 2: creating prime overtaking opportunities and to turn run while the
Speaker 2: infamous Wall of Champions waits to punish even the smallest
Speaker 2: mistake like Don Martin.
Speaker 3: So let's tell Rob you can't be too aggressive. You
Speaker 3: gotta be aggressive enough, but not too aggressive.
Speaker 2: Drivers have little margin for error on a semi street
Speaker 2: circuit that combines old school risk with modern F one speed.
Speaker 2: Montreal's layout has historically opened the door for surprises, especially
Speaker 2: if rain arrived. Matt several teams are expected to arrive
Speaker 2: in the Great White North with major upgrade packages as
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six development battle intensifies. The biggest focuses
Speaker 2: on Mercedes. Despite winning early races in twenty twenty six,
Speaker 2: Mercedes largely held back its first major yes their first
Speaker 2: development package under the Miami Weekend, while the rivals aggressively
Speaker 2: upgraded their cars and they won anyway. Team boss Total
Speaker 2: Wolf indicated that Montreal's package is critical, with reports suggesting
Speaker 2: Canada will feature their first substantial arrow overhaul.
Speaker 3: Yeah it's going to run on Maple, sirup, they got
Speaker 3: this thing locked up.
Speaker 2: McLaren is also expected to bring another step forward after
Speaker 2: its strong Miami performance. Multiple reports indicate the team still
Speaker 2: has additional aero dynamic developments planned specifically for Canada, including
Speaker 2: front wing refinements and further low drag upgrades suited for
Speaker 2: Montreal's long strains. And as you know, Matt, we are
Speaker 2: your home of front ring refinements. There is not even
Speaker 2: a close second. We are the front wing refinement show
Speaker 2: of rerex see.
Speaker 3: And I thought you were going to say, where the
Speaker 3: long straight hairpin turn show off record.
Speaker 2: Secondarily, yes, yes, those things have in order some form
Speaker 2: of it. One thing we know we can count on
Speaker 2: circuit Jills Villeneuve for.
Speaker 4: Saw, No, I just hit a ground hog, could have
Speaker 4: avoided it.
Speaker 2: Was racing, That's right, Matt. The North American groundhog is
Speaker 2: indigenous to Notre Dame Island. The fuzzy little foreigners are
Speaker 2: known to frequently run across the circuit during racing action
Speaker 2: and unfortunately meet their maker at the hands of F
Speaker 2: one drivers like the former Canadian embarrassment Nick Letifian. Oh no, well,
Speaker 2: Nikki has gone from the ranks of Formula one. That
Speaker 2: doesn't mean as countrymen, the equally embarrassing Lance Stroll won't
Speaker 2: take up the cause of exterminating the little fellas every
Speaker 2: chance he gets while driving around the circuit. Oh, it's
Speaker 2: so ridiculous. Ridiculous to you, the Lance, but not the groundhogs.
Speaker 2: Expect wheel the wheel battles, aggressive overtakes and a good
Speaker 2: possibility of chaos from lights out to checkered flag in
Speaker 2: Montreal and possibly some of this. Yeah, we know the
Speaker 2: groundhogs will be laying it all out on the line.
Speaker 2: Will the drivers as well? And that is your F
Speaker 2: one report Other California and we'll return to do some
Speaker 2: Birthday of the Day and then off night Dodger Talk
Speaker 2: featuring David Vasse and Alex Vesia as we discussed Thank
Speaker 2: you for listening to this crunchy group. Thursday on the
Speaker 2: Petrosen Money Show on AM five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 1: Petros Papadakis that money Snare. This is Petro Send money
Speaker 1: on demand.
Speaker 3: Petrol some Money Hanging five seventy ELA Sports Live Everywhere
Speaker 3: on the iHeartRadio app. Off day today for the Dodgers,
Speaker 3: but tomorrow Big One. The Braves are in town for
Speaker 3: a three gamer at Dodgers Stadium, coming off a two
Speaker 3: out of three victory series against the Astros, p something
Speaker 3: they needed desperately after the way that road trip started
Speaker 3: in Saint Louis.
Speaker 2: And joining us right now on your Toyota SoCal Dealers
Speaker 2: Celebrity Hotline is a great analyst and a former great player,
Speaker 2: an All Star, a World Series champ with the Marlins.
Speaker 2: He's soared with the Marlins, seventeen seasons in the Big leagues,
Speaker 2: putting together a great career with the Expos, Fish, the
Speaker 2: Red Sox, the Mets, the Cubs, the Rays, which is
Speaker 2: a different kind of sea creature, and the Patras. You
Speaker 2: see him now on your screen on the MLB Network
Speaker 2: MLB Tonight. Nobody does a better job than Cliff Floyd.
Speaker 2: And here, with a quarter of the season over, he
Speaker 2: joins us to discuss some big national picture topics on
Speaker 2: the Petrosen Money Show. What's cracking, Cliff? How are you
Speaker 2: great to have you on? Oh man?
Speaker 4: All was good. I love the music, love the intro.
Speaker 2: You deserve it, Cliff, you know, I mean you take
Speaker 2: time out of your day. We're not just gonna bring
Speaker 2: you on and just pepper you like like, you know,
Speaker 2: you deserve a little bit of a you know, a
Speaker 2: little bit of fanfare on your way into the restaurant
Speaker 2: before we sit you down and put the napkin on
Speaker 2: your lap.
Speaker 4: I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2: Tell us Cliff, you know, because we're the Dodger station here,
Speaker 2: so obviously very spoiled. In the last two years have
Speaker 2: been like a dream. And then there's a lot of
Speaker 2: world series and a lot of great competition over the
Speaker 2: last ten years. Uh, did you think the Dodgers start
Speaker 2: would be like this? It always feels like, no matter
Speaker 2: what the expectations are, they having up and down style road.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I didn't expect it to be like this.
Speaker 4: I think everybody gave them one hundred and you know,
Speaker 4: twenty wins. You know in spring training it was like, well,
Speaker 4: their time and figured it out. Yeah, one forty you
Speaker 4: know what I mean. So it's like there they'll take
Speaker 4: their time and everybody will chill out and everybody just
Speaker 4: you know, breathe a little bit. But if you look
Speaker 4: at who they facing the ROLD Series Toronto, they're going
Speaker 4: through it right. A lot happens when you have guys
Speaker 4: on il Man and you guys have seen it. You
Speaker 4: guys have probably not dealt with as much at versy
Speaker 4: as some of these other teams. But somehow I know
Speaker 4: that the Dodger has always been able to figure it
Speaker 4: out on the flock. And this year, I'm not saying
Speaker 4: they ain't going anywhere, because it seems like every time
Speaker 4: they have something that you know, jumps off, it's like, well,
Speaker 4: the Padres are behind them, but it feels like the
Speaker 4: Padres are ten games always as opposed to two or
Speaker 4: one and a half is for for some odd reason,
Speaker 4: they just it's just a slow grind for them. But
Speaker 4: you are missing some key pieces that you have to
Speaker 4: keep an eye on, you know, as we jump into
Speaker 4: May and like it's a long season, but you still
Speaker 4: have to keep your eye on what's been going on
Speaker 4: of late of just the I L and you have
Speaker 4: some guys, you know on rehab assignments. That's coming back,
Speaker 4: Snail being one, But can you get Mookie back? Can't
Speaker 4: get these guys back and feel good about, you know,
Speaker 4: moving forward and having these guys on the ross and
Speaker 4: helping you win some ball games.
Speaker 3: Is that just cliff kind of you know, early season
Speaker 3: Freddy usually takes a second to get rolling mookies kind
Speaker 3: of bag like or is that maybe a bigger like, Hey,
Speaker 3: these guys are getting kind of old. These guys have
Speaker 3: played a lot of baseball, and they've been to the
Speaker 3: World Series and back to back years. Like, I don't know,
Speaker 3: if you had to split it into percentages, is there
Speaker 3: a higher percent into your concern that maybe these guys
Speaker 3: are getting a little bit old and that's why that
Speaker 3: bottom of the lineup with the young guys is producing
Speaker 3: seemingly a little bit more now than the top Or
Speaker 3: is it just kind of the way the season plays out.
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's a little bit of both. Right,
Speaker 4: So I'm not really ready to be like, yeah, these
Speaker 4: guys are old because I look at certain teams, one
Speaker 4: being probably of the Phillies are probably the oldest team
Speaker 4: if I'm not mistaken, in the league. May they close
Speaker 4: and if you look at the Phillies just until recently
Speaker 4: they started bawling, like, I don't know what happens when
Speaker 4: the older guys tend to take a little bit, you know,
Speaker 4: more time, because you can have an excuse for the
Speaker 4: Phillies it's cold and April so on and so forth.
Speaker 4: It ain't cold in LA and they might be getting
Speaker 4: a little older. But at some point you're gonna have
Speaker 4: to utilize the youngsters. You're gonna the supporting cast dues
Speaker 4: have to play and if you get that, if you
Speaker 4: get that contribution, then everything kind of falls into place.
Speaker 4: I of what Andy Pyez is right now, we talked
Speaker 4: about this morning on the show. D Row went in
Speaker 4: and depth and just his his his you know, masturbation,
Speaker 4: his maturity and everything about what he's had it and
Speaker 4: what he's done this season has been phenomenal to watch
Speaker 4: after what he endured in the World Series right and
Speaker 4: riding the bench, coming in for the greatest catch prior
Speaker 4: of his career. But when you think about him and
Speaker 4: where he's at, you don't need these dudes. And I'm
Speaker 4: not saying I'm not giving them, you know, the the
Speaker 4: you know, the crutch right now, I'm just saying until
Speaker 4: the Padres are win that that division by ten games,
Speaker 4: by winning that division by eight games ten games, I'm
Speaker 4: I'm I'm sorry. I'm not ready to relinquish anything that
Speaker 4: Dodds has done. Uh thus far?
Speaker 3: What do you make of kind of the way there?
Speaker 3: You know, because it seems like it's a thing. It's
Speaker 3: now happened more than once. Of not hitting Otani when
Speaker 3: he's pitching.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, Tani says it's not so I don't
Speaker 4: know how you can't. At some point, right at least
Speaker 4: with him, you have to say I'm gonna protect the
Speaker 4: player from himself because he wants to do it. Now.
Speaker 4: I know, a Tony can walk into the Austin and say, hey,
Speaker 4: I'm kind of running the show and I'm not disrespecting
Speaker 4: Dave Roberts by any means. But Otani is different. He's
Speaker 4: one of one. I think you have to look at
Speaker 4: the big picture. And I'll go back to what I say.
Speaker 4: I mean, yes, he's incredible. Yes, the ability and all
Speaker 4: everything we talk about with him is there. But don't
Speaker 4: you have to protect him at some point from something
Speaker 4: I think you do. That's just me as a former
Speaker 4: player grinding in the cage, grinding, grinding, grinding, you know,
Speaker 4: playing both sides of the ball as an outfit, or
Speaker 4: maybe not getting one ball a game, maybe getting two
Speaker 4: balls a game, not throwing, getting big lee hears out
Speaker 4: and then trying to hit ninety five ninety six. When
Speaker 4: you look at him, he don't look tired. But I
Speaker 4: think you have to protect what we've seen in the
Speaker 4: past from him. You know, he's going through to Tommy
Speaker 4: John's like this is Yeah, I get it. People might
Speaker 4: think that, oh, it'll be great if he wants a
Speaker 4: young but is it about championships with sions? If you
Speaker 4: ask him, I think he would say championships.
Speaker 2: Cliff Floyd is our guest MLB Network. It's an interesting thing,
Speaker 2: you say, Cliff, because Otani's pretty much signed up until
Speaker 2: he's eighty years old. Uh. With the So what do
Speaker 2: you think it's gonna look like? You know, in three
Speaker 2: or four years, do you think there'll be a wall
Speaker 2: that this guy hits. I mean, I remember back in
Speaker 2: the day we were talking about Mike Trout might be
Speaker 2: the greatest player ever, and certainly we're not having those
Speaker 2: conversations anymore. And he was a guy who signed a
Speaker 2: really long term deal. What do you think it's gonna happen?
Speaker 2: What do you think it's gonna be like in a
Speaker 2: few years.
Speaker 4: Well, wall is coming. I don't know what you know,
Speaker 4: if there's a big ones as a buzz, I don't
Speaker 4: know what's happening. But you you have to as every player.
Speaker 4: And I'm not even gonna mention Dwyane, you know, Dyne
Speaker 4: down and like you know, coming to an end out.
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is, how do we maximize what he
Speaker 4: brings to that organization, you know, to the game of baseball?
Speaker 4: How do you maximize that? I think durability is something
Speaker 4: that I would I love talking about because I wasn't
Speaker 4: the durable guy that I want to be. And when
Speaker 4: you're not available, it's there. There's your answer, right like
Speaker 4: I wasn't available enough to speak on Like, well you
Speaker 4: gotta be. You know, you gotta post, you gotta post.
Speaker 4: I commend dudes that post. I love dudes that go
Speaker 4: out there and you can look at their track worker
Speaker 4: and say, well he's posted for the last three four
Speaker 4: years and one to fifty plus one fifty five plus.
Speaker 4: I need that dude on my team. How do you
Speaker 4: get that out of all the time, you know, for
Speaker 4: me to watch that game consistently every night he pitches
Speaker 4: when I'm up. You know, I'm fifty three years old
Speaker 4: now and been out the game for a while. For
Speaker 4: me to watch that game late a night on West Coast,
Speaker 4: Oh tiny needs band lineup. I need to see him
Speaker 4: playing none against the other dudes. But he's just a
Speaker 4: difference maker like that. For me to watch that game
Speaker 4: and watch what he's doing, and everybody's mentioned Unicorn and
Speaker 4: all these things, and it's great. I think it's phenomenal. Yes,
Speaker 4: he's going to the Hall of Fame. I think it's great.
Speaker 4: But how do you maximize for that team moving forward?
Speaker 4: If you want to throw in the contract, cool, how
Speaker 4: do you get that? How do you get the best
Speaker 4: out of that? And that's protecting him from some sort
Speaker 4: of whatever it is, maybe not hitting as much, maybe
Speaker 4: you know, every sixth day, maybe missing the start, whatever
Speaker 4: it is. It's important to to you know, listen to
Speaker 4: and it's important for Timey to be truthful to them
Speaker 4: and say, hey man, I'm feeling a little you know,
Speaker 4: you know, fatigue, you know, a dead arm, whatever case
Speaker 4: may be. And if that's the case, then I know,
Speaker 4: for a fact. Dave Robertson and the whole organization will
Speaker 4: protect that, but he has to be truthful and making
Speaker 4: sure that they stay on top of anything or everything
Speaker 4: that happens for him moving forward, because he's that important
Speaker 4: to not just their winning, but just the overall fan
Speaker 4: base and what they mean, you know, what he means
Speaker 4: to LA What.
Speaker 3: Do you make of just kind of the because they've
Speaker 3: showed patience with pie Has last year, right in the
Speaker 3: playoffs he went through like a yeah, three for forty
Speaker 3: five slump. But you know, we're watching Haysung Kim and
Speaker 3: we're watching Alex Friedland and some of these young players,
Speaker 3: and out here we're just so used to well, you
Speaker 3: know they're going to be on that plane to Oklahoma City,
Speaker 3: you know when so and so when Mookie gets back,
Speaker 3: and saying there, like Kyle Hurd, he's going to be
Speaker 3: gone when Snell gets back. Is what do you think
Speaker 3: the balance is for the front office to try to
Speaker 3: give these guys, these young players, as much rope as
Speaker 3: they can and much opportunity as they can to prove
Speaker 3: that they're everyday big leaguers while still kind of having
Speaker 3: this older roster and feeling the need to, you know,
Speaker 3: win every game and win a World Series. Is that
Speaker 3: a tough thing to balance? And do you think they're
Speaker 3: doing a good job of it.
Speaker 4: I do think they're doing good job of it. Is
Speaker 4: it tough to balance, absolutely, because you do have these
Speaker 4: guys coming back, and you know, I think the one
Speaker 4: thing I've seen and dealt with or you know, of
Speaker 4: course with twenty plus years, is too you won't be
Speaker 4: the first definitely won't be the last that happened to
Speaker 4: have going back to Oklahoma City or dealing with you know,
Speaker 4: whether you're playing well and you might have to show
Speaker 4: an end as a stick and have to go back
Speaker 4: to Triple A for a little bit, you know, but
Speaker 4: you always about leaving the last impression on that organization
Speaker 4: to let them know that you can play at the
Speaker 4: big league level. It's about consistency, or it's about understanding
Speaker 4: the role that has changed for you as a player
Speaker 4: when you get to the big leagues. Right, it's not
Speaker 4: going to be the position that you came up with.
Speaker 4: May it might it might be something totally different, and
Speaker 4: you have to make that adjustment on the fly. So
Speaker 4: I think when you look at these dudes getting you know,
Speaker 4: an opportunity. One of the one of the best things.
Speaker 4: One of the coaches says me a long time ago.
Speaker 4: He was like, it's free. Like what you mean, it's free.
Speaker 4: The opportunity is free. It's air and opportunity. Take advantage
Speaker 4: of it. Don't put pressure on yourself. Play the game
Speaker 4: you can, and Doc is watching the whole everybody's watching,
Speaker 4: and you Freeman's watch. Everybody's watching. And it's about the
Speaker 4: little things you bring to the team that's going to
Speaker 4: take that team, you know, to the top. It's never
Speaker 4: about the big things. If you bring the big things,
Speaker 4: three homers, cool, that's cool. But if you can make
Speaker 4: a play, if you can get that precious out that
Speaker 4: you need, if you can do some of the little things,
Speaker 4: then you're always being the hunt of being on, you know,
Speaker 4: on that roster, you know, when when when time b
Speaker 4: towards the postseason. That to me is how you establish
Speaker 4: yourself as a youngster, especially on really good teams, on
Speaker 4: teams that are just you know, fighting for you know,
Speaker 4: just to stay above water, stay above five hundred, so
Speaker 4: that the opportunity is going to last for one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty plus games. You're going to get the ride
Speaker 4: out and get your feet up onder you. You don't
Speaker 4: get that luxury on good teams at times. So I
Speaker 4: think Doc and those guys have done a good job
Speaker 4: of just you know, allowed these dudes to play their games,
Speaker 4: get their feet wet a little bit, and then say, hey,
Speaker 4: you know what's coming, so just prepare yourself for this.
Speaker 4: But give me what you've got right now, and I
Speaker 4: guarantee your time of come and get the great.
Speaker 2: Cliff Floyd is our guest from the MLB Network. Before
Speaker 2: we let you go, Cliff got to ask you, you know, Dodgers,
Speaker 2: notwithstanding I know the Mets are terrible and Philly's old.
Speaker 2: Like you said, the Braves are coming to town. They've
Speaker 2: been good. What's been the biggest surprise to you in
Speaker 2: the first quarter of the season here?
Speaker 4: So you know what, I love a lot of teams
Speaker 4: that are that are fighting right. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 4: just when you look at the Oakland you know they're coming. Well,
Speaker 4: I say, Sacramento ads, I'll get caught up every once
Speaker 4: in a while call Oakland, but the Sacramento, Uh. I
Speaker 4: am surprised by the Cubs and what they've been able
Speaker 4: to do without having starting pitching right when you lose
Speaker 4: a cade Horton, a Justice Steele. You know, now, Matthew Boyd,
Speaker 4: you have a revamped bullpen and you're doing what you're
Speaker 4: doing the last three days to the cistin I res
Speaker 4: who are real in my opinion that that is phenomenal.
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, I expected the Cubs to probably win
Speaker 4: that in L Central, but the duel without pitching, and
Speaker 4: I've always said, if you don't have pitching, you're probably
Speaker 4: gonna come up last. They've sought me. But I think
Speaker 4: in L Central is one division. While I'm looking at
Speaker 4: going Wow, I inspect all these teams will be five
Speaker 4: hundred above.
Speaker 2: He's the best.
Speaker 3: Should we get him a couple times a year, and
Speaker 3: we're better for it. Our listeners can revel in the

Speaker 3: enjoying each other's company. What's the theme again? Is it
Speaker 3: shaved legs and speedos? Is that what we're going with?
Speaker 2: No, Matt, I haven't figured it out yet, but it's
Speaker 2: certainly not shaved legs and speedos, which I don't think
Speaker 2: has ever been considered. And I don't think we'd make
Speaker 2: it too far down the street and downy some of
Speaker 2: the places we go. Perhaps, but I don't think we'd
Speaker 2: make it too far down the street and Downey walking
Speaker 2: around like that. No, probably not. Yeah, it'd be like
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, the gay door man walking around the mat.
Speaker 2: All right, man, you got the dead guy birthday other day,
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: We're gonna go with Edwin Herbert land Edward Herbert LANDA.
Speaker 3: I'm old and those that are old like me and
Speaker 3: our perverts like me can relate to this.
Speaker 4: Today.
Speaker 3: The kids and beyond the kids, they send the snaps
Speaker 3: or they send the texts with their d picts with
Speaker 3: their boobs boobling. Hey, I like you check out my junk.
Speaker 3: Here it is in a text that I just sent
Speaker 3: you a picture of my junk. That's what they do well.
Speaker 3: Back in the day, you couldn't take the photo of
Speaker 3: your poots. Take the film to the freaking photo Matt,
Speaker 3: have some weirdo develop it, and then get your photo
Speaker 3: of your boots and then give it to the check
Speaker 3: you wanted to send a pool. You could technically, but
Speaker 3: you weren't gonna.
Speaker 2: They're probably gonna save it, make copies of the photo man.
Speaker 2: And now that guy's got your boots too.
Speaker 3: But our man Eddie, our man Eddie made that connect possible,
Speaker 3: all right. He's the guy with his polaroid pictures that
Speaker 3: allowed you to take naked photos of yourself or your
Speaker 3: lady and keep them in that secret place. Maybe it
Speaker 3: was taped to the underside of your nightstand or nestled
Speaker 3: in one of your favorite books that you knew your
Speaker 3: parents would never flip through the pages sitting there on
Speaker 3: your bookshelf. That's what Edwin Herbert Land did. He created
Speaker 3: the polaroid picture, and man, there was so much hope
Speaker 3: and possibilities that you had with your high school relationships
Speaker 3: and college relationships before the text photo thanks to this
Speaker 3: man born in Bridgeport, Connecticut parents Ukraine immigrants. He was
Speaker 3: a fidgetter, would take apart anything and everything in the house,
Speaker 3: clock appliances, put them back together, their brand new gramophone.
Speaker 3: And when Pop saw that, he said, all right, your
Speaker 3: talented kid. Put them into the gifted classes. And he
Speaker 3: ended up going to Harvard and he's one of these guys.
Speaker 3: They get to Harvard and he's like, h too smart
Speaker 3: for you. So he left after his freshman year, moved
Speaker 3: to the big town, worked odd jobs to make money,
Speaker 3: and then at night would sneak in to the laboratory
Speaker 3: at Columbia University use their equipment, where he invented the
Speaker 3: first inexpensive filters capable of polarizing light. He called it
Speaker 3: polaroid film. He realized he could manufacture a film with
Speaker 3: millions of micron sized polarizing crystals coaxed into perfect alignment
Speaker 3: with each other. So when he's twenty two years old,
Speaker 3: he goes back to Harvard asks his physics professor, who
Speaker 3: had some scratch, can you finance me here? Let's start
Speaker 3: the land Wheelwright laboratory and they commercialize polarizing technology. As
Speaker 3: you would imagine back then it wasn't VC, but it
Speaker 3: was going to Wall Street and showing what you had.
Speaker 3: So he got a bunch of money. They renamed the
Speaker 3: company Polaroid Corporation in thirty seven, and really it was sunglasses.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that polaride sunglass.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the polarize, the polaroid sunglasses, the polarized.
Speaker 2: I've been a proponent of polaroid sunglasses because they are
Speaker 2: the first polarized sunglasses ever invented.
Speaker 3: And that invented by this man where he made his money.
Speaker 3: That then also applied to film that would help with brightness.
Speaker 3: It was a fount sunglass.
Speaker 2: You could per out, but not as much as you
Speaker 2: can the camera. Right.
Speaker 3: World War two greatest generation Land was a big part
Speaker 3: of the military. He developed dark adaptation goggles, target finders,
Speaker 3: the first passively guided smart bomb, special stereoscopic viewing systems,
Speaker 3: the vector graft, which revealed camouflaged enemy positions in aerial photography.
Speaker 3: He was a big freaking deal. But it was a
Speaker 3: vacation in Santa Fe, New Mexico with his three year
Speaker 3: old daughter. He snapped the photo of her and she said,
Speaker 3: when can I see the photo? And that planted the seed?
Speaker 3: Why don't we have instant film cameras. So after the trip,
Speaker 3: research and development files for the patent, figured it out
Speaker 3: in about three years. How dedicated was he to the
Speaker 3: polaroid camera. He was in his lab for eighteen consecutive days,
Speaker 3: wearing the same clothes, having people bring food into him.
Speaker 3: When he thought he was right on the cusp of
Speaker 3: figuring it out, he did, And of course he demonstrated
Speaker 3: his instant camera in nineteen forty seven it was available commercially.
Speaker 3: Fifty seven were manufactured. They sold out the first day.
Speaker 3: He was part of the Utube program, Corona and Samos
Speaker 3: Photographic Satellite program, an advisor to Dwight D. Eisenhower, more
Speaker 3: than just a scientist, a real American, an American that
Speaker 3: helped the cause and helped pervy kids before the advent
Speaker 3: of the camera phone. You led with the PERV and
Speaker 3: you finished with the perse Yeah.
Speaker 2: But isn't there you know the American cause that's right
Speaker 2: and sign glad.
Speaker 3: But ultimately, yeah, you've got a polaroid as some chick
Speaker 3: naked when you were in high school and a holy crap,
Speaker 3: you where.
Speaker 2: Were the girls streaked the quad in Peninsula High early
Speaker 2: in my career there, well yeah, I mean there were
Speaker 2: a lot of film developed. There was even a guy
Speaker 2: running around with a video camera and a child was
Speaker 2: smashed up against defense. I mean we got ugly. It
Speaker 2: was a stampede.
Speaker 3: Maybe was a big deal when we were young. You
Speaker 3: could You couldn't just open your phone and have boobs boobling.
Speaker 2: That, and you would get tired of looking at a photo.
Speaker 2: People don't get tired of looking at their phone. It
Speaker 2: seems beating out Bill Krutzman and the great Irish singer
Speaker 2: Christy Moore is Australian News.
Speaker 4: It's Kid and this is Petros and Money's Australian News.
Speaker 2: This man would have been eighty three years old today.
Speaker 2: Peter Carry, now living in New York City, one of
Speaker 2: only five riders who's won the Booker Prize for Fiction twice,
Speaker 2: from a town in Victoria, Australia. He got a science
Speaker 2: degree at Monash University. Their mascot Dayton the robot Okay Science.
Speaker 2: He worked in Melbourne in advertising. He met writers and
Speaker 2: he worked on advertising campaigns and he thought he'd try
Speaker 2: his own luck at writing a novel. He has written
Speaker 2: now over a dozen novels and good ones. Oscar and
Speaker 2: Lucinda won the Booker Prize and became a movie with
Speaker 2: Ray Fines and Kate Blanchette, story of an American priest
Speaker 2: and an Australian heiress who loved to play cards. It
Speaker 2: was a good movie. It's a great book. He did
Speaker 2: Jack Mags, a reworking of The Great Expectations. That's you know,
Speaker 2: you don't just rework that, Matt, you know, it's like
Speaker 2: trying to do Peter Gabriel for the alive guy. You know,
Speaker 2: that's a real undertake. He did The True History of
Speaker 2: the Kelly Gang, which also won the Booker Prize the
Speaker 2: Ned Kelly historical fiction work, and that became a big
Speaker 2: movie as well. In two thousand and nine, I read
Speaker 2: his book Parrot and Oliver in America, which was an
Speaker 2: inspiration of the life of Alexis to Tolkville, who was
Speaker 2: an aristocratic guy, a European dude who visited our country
Speaker 2: in the eighteen thirties and wrote about his reflections. Very
Speaker 2: good book two thousand and nine. Love That. Lots of
Speaker 2: great nonfiction as well, and short stories. He did a
Speaker 2: rock musical. He wrote the screenplay Till the End of
Speaker 2: the World with whim Wenders, or, as Matt likes to say,
Speaker 2: Vin Vendors you you inventd us many honorary degrees in
Speaker 2: the Order of Australia.
Speaker 3: I like a good rock opera.
Speaker 2: He's got like an Australian knighthood. He is a great writer.
Speaker 2: When he wrote that book Jack Maggs, the Queen asked
Speaker 2: him to come and see her, but he snubbed her
Speaker 2: because he was tired and he didn't want to travel.
Speaker 2: And he did eventually meet the Queen and the Queen
Speaker 2: did not forget. She said, you had some trouble getting
Speaker 2: here the first time, did you not?
Speaker 3: Whoa I'll come see oh mass schedule.
Speaker 2: That stung him. He's lived in New York for thirty years,
Speaker 2: married three times, ugly divorce from the second wife. She said,
Speaker 2: you divorced me and then you used the material of
Speaker 2: the divorce to write a book. He said, you're right,
Speaker 2: it's great material. A fine writer, Peter Carey out of Australia.
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a better Australian writer. I'd
Speaker 2: venture to say there's probably not. There is stupid people.
Speaker 3: I mean, what about the lyrics to like silver chairs.
Speaker 2: Right, No, I mean you know, yeah, but you know
Speaker 2: this guy's a you know, the novelist bows when the
Speaker 2: poet walks by. Matt Maybe you're right, but who can
Speaker 2: forget you know, some of the great Rick Springfield. Later.
Speaker 2: We'll be back with more Petross and money tomorrow, a
Speaker 2: three o'clock show than Dodgers Take on the Brain checked
Speaker 2: out this conject
