USC baseball number eight, I think 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.560 right now in the AP poll just took care of U. 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:17.160 See Santa Barbara on one of their local Tuesday night games. 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.920 And UCLA's number one with our friend John Savage, and 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:25.840 they have Rock Chilowski and UCLA better Chilowski if they 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.880 think they're just gonna run over USC. But we will see. 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.200 We'll talk to Andy Stankowitz. It's all sold out over 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:36.000 the weekend at Jackie Robinson Stadium, and USC is back 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:42.720 at Dato Field after being an Irvine for a year 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:47.400 or so, and now Dano Field is facing the wrong way. 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.600 And guess what it's all to accommodate the football program. 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.760 What a shock. Now, back in my day in camp, 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.400 every once in a while, if we had camp at school, 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.720 we'd run over and turn the outfield into a fifty 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.240 yard seven on seven field. And did Mike Gillespie and 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:08.760 USC Baseball like it? No, No, they did not. They 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.360 did not like it one bit. We did it anyway. 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.720 We tore it all up with our cleats. You know why, 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:18.760 fight on, fight on, fight on, were USC football fight on, 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.000 fight all, fight all. We're the reason everybody's got all 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:23.920 this cool stuff. That's how we saw it. 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.800 Wait, didn't your roommate with baseball players. 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.480 My first year until my friends became too black? 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.320 Excuse me? What was the state of the baseball team 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:39.400 at the time mostly whites? No, not the racial makeup, Oh, 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:43.920 the performance. The performance of the baseball team at the time. 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.360 Because it was all cool when I had white guys 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.400 coming over. But when I started hanging out with all 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.880 the black guys on the team and they had their 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.080 baseball chicks around, you know, the white guys, they didn't 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:55.040 like that competition. 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:59.360 Ha, what was a baseball team at a championship level. 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.360 They won the Yeah, yeah, I believe they won the title. 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.280 In ninety eight. You were the captain of the. 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:06.920 Worst football team in the US the history, which was 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.440 too most of those baseball types were long gone at 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.320 that point. But yeah, no, I lived with baseball players 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:18.240 and learned about the intricacies of baseball life, like the 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:23.839 wood bat leagues and all the lippers and all of 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:28.400 those different things. Yeah, I learned all about that when 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.599 I was first at USC. But because when I was 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:34.919 first at USC, I had transferred from cal so I was. 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.000 I was on the football team, but I was sort 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.760 of on the football team's periphery because of ineligibility and 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:46.640 eligibility questions for the future. So I wasn't really as 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.799 active on the team until later. And at that point 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.440 I had an established relationship with many baseball players. And 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:54.880 then things got a little too weird. 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:58.360 You had to move out. 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.039 It was a racial class. Actually, you gotta move out. 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.000 I was removed. You need to believe I was kicked 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:09.400 out of my apartment. These things happened, and somebody like 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.520 we were all together, like not long ago, and not 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.200 maybe like a year or so ago, and somebody said like, well, 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.480 what happened? Then I said, well I got kicked out, remember, 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.479 And they were like, oh yeah, it's. 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:24.599 A different time. Your friends were real a holes speak 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:25.640 like real. 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.920 They blamed me, Matt if you could believe that, they 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.040 said that I was the a hole. They said it 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.200 was me who could have seen that? Certainly not me. 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:35.000 I'm the best. 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:36.520 I'm the best. 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.640 I'm the best. I'll put your head in an effing. 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:42.280 Ratget bring all my glasses down there. 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:48.280 Listen, Petros, anybody asks you, you tell them I don't smoke. Okay, 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:58.760 everybody just saw you smoke. I got It's his words 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:06.360 of the day. Today's word of the day is DNA. 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:07.480 Goodnight. 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:12.640 Arizona basketball. Is that the Final four for the first 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.640 time since loude Olsen was their coach? It's a great thing. Well, 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.640 In fact, if Iowa made the Final four, it would 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.360 have been their first time in the Final four since 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.680 loude Olsen was their coach too, and they were denying. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:30.200 Saturday in Indianapolis, the Final Four, Arizona takes on Michigan. 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.880 You can hear it on AM eleven fifty. All four 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:42.120 teams arrived in Indie today media availability. It was prevalent. 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.080 When the media hordes went over to talk to red 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:54.719 shirt Bryce James, lebron james Son, five star. 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.680 Recruit, they had to cut a little piece of the 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:58.800 net down, you know. They were able to share that 0:06:58.880 --> 0:06:59.960 on the ESPN dot com. 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.600 They were told. 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.360 Bryce James cutting down the net. 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.120 When the media went over to talk to him, they 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.640 were told that Bryce James was not taking questions from 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:17.480 the media. Goodnight. After digging around, Arizona said, who wasn't us? 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:23.880 Who was the Williams Arizona who said they didn't care 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.960 if Bryce James talked to the media. Was not the 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:32.120 Arizona Wildcats basketball program that kept Bryce James from talking 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:42.200 to the media. It was reportedly Ranges Clutch Sports Ranges 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.600 who said, no, media, that's not cool. Bryce is not playing, 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:54.400 he's redshirting. A Yahoo riter said Arizona had an enforcer 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.280 in the locker room today near Bryce James to tell 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.960 reporters that he wasn't going to do interviewers. 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.480 Well, I can appreciate that he's not doing interviews. I 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.320 think that's the better outcome than Here's what Bryce James 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.320 had to say about the march to the Final four 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.040 because the Evil four letter would have put that on 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.320 the freaking front page of ESPN dot com. 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.520 So you think Clutch sports is protecting Bryce James from himself. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.600 I think they're protecting him from a holes like us. 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.240 But he's been available all year. 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.960 I mean, no one's been interested to talk to him though, 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:25.600 because they didn't make it. You know, now that they're 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:26.400 in the final thing. 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:27.960 He's sitting right there, you might want to talk to him. 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:29.200 It seems like a story all year long. 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:30.720 You know who that dude is right there? You know 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.440 that guy is. It's Lebron James, kid man. I mean, 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:38.640 he's not playing, he's red shirting. I sure as hell 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:43.680 don't care what he's got to say. Right, What do 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.720 you think? I have been fun watching these guys from 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:46.000 the bend? 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:47.520 What was it like cutting down the net? 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.280 I mean that was literally on the front page of 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.480 ESPN's men's basketball portal. 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:58.080 To me, I get it, your dad's Lebron James. But 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.880 to me, if somebody's on a team and he's with 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.199 the team, he should do everything that everybody else on 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.480 the team does. And if he's too bougie for that, 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.320 maybe he shouldn't be on the trip. It is time 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:10.280 for the number of the day. 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:11.120 Here's my number. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.280 Number of the day of the day is ten thousand. 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.720 There are so many of these out there, and well 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:25.880 number one April Fool's pranks are typically stupid and fall flat, 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.840 but this one. How this made it through? I don't know. 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:35.000 The Washington Wizards, who are tied for the worst record 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:39.079 in basketball right now and streaking toward a seventeen win season, 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.800 and the hopes that they're tanking will get them the 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:45.320 number one overall pick. So you can imagine their arena 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:50.680 is maybe fifteen to twenty percent full right about now. 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:56.400 On a random Wednesday night, at halftime, they decided to 0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:00.640 do the win ten grand from a half court shot contest, 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:06.719 and they blindfolded the individual and this happened. 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.000 Jackson, It's all on you. This might be history if 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:19.839 you get this done for ten thousand dollars. 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:20.360 Oh my. 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:30.000 Mascot night. So there's like forty different mascots, subbody rest 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:32.640 surrounding him. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:33.920 They're going crazy. 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.840 The contest. It's going crazy. The crowd is going crazy. 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:40.080 Rod was not going crazy. 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:44.720 Jack Oh my gosh, you didn't see it.

I 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.000 didn't know it was a skit till they put out 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.920 that statement. Matt, I thought it was for real the 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.480 whole time. I thought Bronnie James. I thought, Look, I 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.760 had a whole story read around Bronnie James. All I 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.439 needed was two quotes, and I can't get him. They 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:40.480 stopped me. I mean Bryce James, When the mean Jyce Brams. 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.920 When the when the guy let go of the ball 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:47.319 and the the host there hostess the second it leaves 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.720 its hand.

Doug O'Neill, our old friend, 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:19.640 horse trainer out of Ocean Park, California. I'm a two 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:25.840 time Kentucky Derby winner, Nyquist and all have another who 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:29.640 can who can forget those two great horses, six Breeders' 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:36.080 Cup World title winners. He got to his three thousands 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.440 career win in twenty twenty five at a deer born 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:42.840 but straight out of Ocean Park. Yes, play the regal 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:47.840 horns for Doug as he sends out hyper Gamey in 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.520 the Santa Needa Oaks and Robusta in the Santa Needa 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.240 Derby on Saturday. Here to promote it all as our friend. 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:58.240 Unbelievable Doug O'Neill on the Petrosen Money Show. What's cracking, Doug? 0:16:58.280 --> 0:16:58.680 How are you? 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.680 Great man? Thanks for all the kind words. It's so 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.240 pumped being on here with you and super. 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:06.399 Fire it up? 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:10.200 About Saturday, Dandy, A Derby Saturday is like nothing else 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.760 and I hope so many people can come out and 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:13.239 enjoy it. 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:16.160 What about that event? What about Santa Anita? Because you've 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.760 been all over with this. You're a world class trainer, 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:24.560 internationally celebrated man. What about the Santa Anita Derby gets 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:25.240 you going, Doug. 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:31.480 You know, I think it's a race that will show 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:35.919 you if California will have a representative or two for 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.720 the Kentucky Derby. So it's a great race. Every year 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.400 Bob Baffert oftentimes wins it, but we're going to try 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:44.600 to beat him this year. We actually have two in there. 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.359 We got a horse name by Truvian Man who's going 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.440 to be a little bit of an outsider, but he's 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.480 training well. And then like you said that Robos is 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.040 doing well. So just a great day. They start the 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.560 day off with a five k run and it's kind 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:00.399 of cool. It starts in the parking line, goes for 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.560 the arboretum and ends back up on the racetrack. So 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.160 it's a really good way to start the day and 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.320 it's gonna be a fun day. 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.200 One of the things you always hear, Doug is, oh, 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.840 step up in class for this horse or whatever. Give 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.800 us an idea of the field that that is in 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:20.399 the in this race and how stacked it is, and 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.439 why I feel like the San And Derby produces a 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.000 lot of champions at the Kentucky Derby. What is it 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:30.640 about this particular group that tends to produce championship level horses. 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:35.160 Yeah, that's that's a great question, mine. I think it's 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:38.879 the weather we've got. We've got an unbelievable racetrack with Sanita, 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.760 and also the weather that we're so blessed with out 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.320 here where you know, there's so many great horses and 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:47.760 great horsemen all around the world, but mother nature kind 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.200 of keeps them from really training day in day out 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.200 like we do here in southern California. So I think 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.879 that definitely helps horses coming out of San Neita to 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.359 do well in Kentucky. But yeah, this this field, you've got. 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.359 Bob Bafford's got a horse he paint over a million 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.439 dollars for named Cherokee Nation, who will probably be one 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.840 of the favorites in there. He's got another one he 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:12.040 paid like two and a half million four named Potente. Uh, 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:14.679 so he's he's the number one and number two, So 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:19.399 they're both gonna be buying for the favorite ship there. 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.119 But we're coming in with a couple little bit of 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.679 outsiders that I think have really really good chances to 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:25.639 shock the world. 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.720 Does Bob look at you hard, like from across the 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.919 room with it through his like half tinted glasses. Do 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.080 you guys like this? There that kind of trainer and intimidation, 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.560 Like you guys look at each other like, hey, if you. 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.800 Bob like a boxer's a couple of. 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:45.359 You A little bit like that? 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:47.000 Nice, A little bit like that. 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.440 I know, you know there's a lot of respect, a 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.360 lot of respect me towards him, ad least I don't 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:57.320 know about the other way around. But it's, uh, you know, 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.359 he's got so much success. You can't deny it. That's so. 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.359 But there is nothing better than winning a race like 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:07.119 this and beating you know, a Hall of fame training. 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:10.520 Like great hairs on you, Bob, but we can't. Your 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:14.320 hair's translucent. Yeah, you could drop that one on him. 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:16.040 Oh, there we go. 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:19.960 He's intimidated by this interview. 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:23.560 It's like politics. He's going to demand fair and bounce tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow, 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:25.120 we're gonna have to talk to thanks a lot, Doug. 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:28.080 Now we got to talk to Bob tomorrow. How do 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.040 you how do you guys decide or gals if there's 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:34.760 gal trainers out there, how do you decide which horses 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:38.280 to run? Is it performance based? Is it traits? Is 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:40.800 it like, Hey, I like, what is it that leads 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.359 to you figuring out which horse you want to put 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:45.240 in the Santa need A Derby. 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:49.880 Well, the Sandy A Derby's only only three year olds 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:52.119 are eligible for it, so that kind of narrows the 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:54.800 group a little bit. And then uh, you know, to 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:58.159 go amount and eighth it's a pretty far journey for 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:01.240 a lot of these young year old So, hey, you 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:05.000 got to have a special athlete that that can go 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:08.160 the two turns, go the distance, hand all the pressure 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:11.040 and and you know a lot of it too. You 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:13.600 just if your horse is too slow, then you you 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.560 know you're not going to consider it either. So just 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.119 having a horse that can get the stamina, get the 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:21.639 distance and has the pedigree in the class to uh 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:24.160 to warrant trying it. 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:26.760 Can you enjoy any of the stuff that's going on 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:28.199 you mentioned it?
