Speaker 4: Did you know the death of that singer really affected
Speaker 4: Justin Trudeau deeply. Now he's with Katie Perry grabbing her
Speaker 4: ass on a yacht.
Speaker 3: Hey, she's been to space. Did you know you were ballast?
Speaker 2: The first professional home run ever hit by Babe Ruth
Speaker 2: September fifth, nineteen fourteen, the only home run he hit
Speaker 2: while in the minor leagues as a nineteen year old
Speaker 2: Providence Gray in the International League.
Speaker 4: What kind of name that can we get? That's totally unoffensive?
Speaker 2: Just about the grace love it. He connected with a
Speaker 2: pitch from Ellis Johnson of the Toronto Maple Leafs, launching
Speaker 2: a three run donner over the right field fence at
Speaker 2: Hanlin's Point Stadium. He was the starting pitcher that day,
Speaker 2: allowed one hit in a complete game shutout as the
Speaker 2: Grays one nine zero. The Toronto Star nicknamed him the
Speaker 2: south Side Phenom.
Speaker 3: That's a good name.
Speaker 2: Sultan's swat pretty cool, But south Side that's created.
Speaker 4: Come on, plays for the Grays. Come on, it's very
Speaker 4: creative stuff.
Speaker 3: Matt.
Speaker 4: Forget about that Oregon Ducks Grateful Ducks uniform. That's I
Speaker 4: want to play for the Grays.
Speaker 2: My uniform is gray and we got the south Side Phenom.
Speaker 2: This kid, Babe Ruth playing for us.
Speaker 4: What does what does your alternative uniform look like? Well,
Speaker 4: it's a darker shade of gray. It's a heather.
Speaker 2: You know, everybody that comes here to Toronto to play
Speaker 2: baseball is technically from the South. I feel like there
Speaker 2: are a lot of potential south Side Phoenix to the south.
Speaker 4: I really feel like you could be from Buffalo and
Speaker 4: you're still the south Side Phoenom. All right, it's time
Speaker 4: for quick ends, toms quickets.
Speaker 3: I'll make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right. The Dodgers getting ready for Game one
Speaker 4: of the World Series Friday in Toronto are all south
Speaker 4: Side phenoms to these people. Dave Roberts south Side Phenoms
Speaker 4: Done Right met the media via zoom earlier. Born in Okinawa,
Speaker 4: Real sou here's part of that.
Speaker 8: You've had a veteran group all year long, You've been
Speaker 8: with them for a while now. How have you been
Speaker 8: able to not allow your voice to just become white
Speaker 8: noise and even when things were not going their best
Speaker 8: this year, to find a way to get the best
Speaker 8: out of those guys.
Speaker 9: You know, I think we're going to run the same
Speaker 9: rotation back, I think for sure for the first two
Speaker 9: Smell and then and then Yamamoto and we'll see kind
Speaker 9: of from game three in game four. Yeah, you know what,
Speaker 9: I think it's one of those things that they know
Speaker 9: me pretty well. I've learned to know them pretty well.
Speaker 9: We have a lot of the same people that have
Speaker 9: been together for quite some time, and with that you
Speaker 9: learned kind of how to, you know, ultimately get the
Speaker 9: best out of them at certain points, and when to
Speaker 9: push them and challenge them and when to give them
Speaker 9: some latitude and some grace. I think there's a there's
Speaker 9: a complete trust with me and the players, and our
Speaker 9: goal of winning a championship has never been in question.
Speaker 9: But yeah, you know, I think for me as you
Speaker 9: can see, you see it firsthand. You know, there's times
Speaker 9: I give guys freedom and like I said, grace because
Speaker 9: the game's hard, it's a long season. But there's other
Speaker 9: times where I kind of I get to be a
Speaker 9: little bit more stern in my messaging and expectations, you know,
Speaker 9: when I feel the times right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dave, how much more comfortable are you with the
Speaker 3: six day break this year compared to the breaks the
Speaker 3: last two years?
Speaker 9: I think actually much more comfortable, you know, even after
Speaker 9: you know, the game four, when we're flying out tomorrow,
Speaker 9: which sort of breaks up the monotony of not playing.
Speaker 9: We took the one day off, but the guys are active,
Speaker 9: the guys feel good. I do think that there were
Speaker 9: some guys that were nursing some things so to get
Speaker 9: us back to full health. But actually we got to
Speaker 9: simulate a game another one tonight, So I feel good
Speaker 9: about kind of the guy who's focus and playing and yeah,
Speaker 9: we'll be ready to go on Friday. Feel good about it.
Speaker 4: Freddy Freeman also spoke with the media via zoom, another
Speaker 4: South Side legend, even though he's from Canada. Here is
Speaker 4: the Dodgers first Basement.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you're playing for the visiting team, of course,
Speaker 1: but is this something that's going to be special for
Speaker 1: you and your family?
Speaker 10: Do you think? Yeah, my dad is obviously going to
Speaker 10: head out there tomorrow as well, so it's going to
Speaker 10: be pretty special. And I'm not so sure the Canadian
Speaker 10: fans Blue Days fans will be cheering from you this
Speaker 10: time around like it was in the day of BC
Speaker 10: the last couple of times.
Speaker 3: But it is special.
Speaker 10: Both my parents are born and raised in Canada, especially
Speaker 10: in the providence of Ontario. My mom from the Toronto area,
Speaker 10: Dad from Windsor, So it is special, you know. Every
Speaker 10: time I go there, it just kind of you just
Speaker 10: have this like feeling inside that you feel just a
Speaker 10: little bit closer to my mom. So I'm looking forward
Speaker 10: to it. I'm excited every time I go there. It's
Speaker 10: you always. I always get this little envelope in my
Speaker 10: locker and it's always like pictures of like a third
Speaker 10: cousin has found photos in their garage and they and
Speaker 10: they and they bring them to me. So I love
Speaker 10: going back to Toronto. It's a special place for obviously
Speaker 10: my family and I and every time I go back there,
Speaker 10: I feel a little bit closer to my mom, So
Speaker 10: I'm looking forward to get there.
Speaker 5: Marry.
Speaker 1: What was your filling last night just watching that whole
Speaker 1: country go crazy with the Springer home run and seeing
Speaker 1: Black Grero, you know, crying after the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's special.
Speaker 10: I mean, when you have a whole country that's, you know,
Speaker 10: behind one team, it's it's pretty amazing. And then obviously
Speaker 10: what they've done, They've they've been invested in their team,
Speaker 10: into that stadium, the busying clubhouse, they've redone, so they've
Speaker 10: put a lot into the Toronto Blue Jays and to
Speaker 10: just see the city come together and I get to
Speaker 10: experience so much jubilation that they had yesterday going to
Speaker 10: the World Series for the first time I think it
Speaker 10: was thirty plus years, So you know, it's an exciting time.
Speaker 10: And obviously, you know my family being from Canada, it's
Speaker 10: pretty cool. But it's bodies had an amazing postseason so far,
Speaker 10: and you know that everyone's Springer's home run. It's just
Speaker 10: stuff that you that they won't forget. And I think
Speaker 10: it's just gonna be a really good, real series.
Speaker 3: Looking forward to it.
Speaker 2: And how about this, Matt the already you'll ever have
Speaker 2: an iconic moment in the World Series. In his career,
Speaker 2: I think he'll ever be lucky enough to know.
Speaker 4: Okay, And it's so beyond the realm of pots, such
Speaker 4: an incredible career, trying to get to the next story,
Speaker 4: right beyond the realm of possibility that Freddy's ever going
Speaker 4: to do anything that abody remembers ever just because.
Speaker 11: You have got to be kidding me, Ben, that.
Speaker 3: Never mind Game one in the World Series.
Speaker 4: You got to be kidding me, Ben.
Speaker 11: You have got to be kidding me.
Speaker 4: Ben. That is the best sports I have ever seen.
Speaker 3: You just happen right in front of us.
Speaker 7: Dude, thought, it is the best moment in sports I've
Speaker 7: ever seen.
Speaker 11: You have got to be kidding me, Ben, That is
Speaker 11: the best moment in sports I have ever seen.
Speaker 4: Can we move on, no, to something important. The Angels
Speaker 4: have hired a new manager.
Speaker 3: Great congratulations, guys.
Speaker 5: Way to go.
Speaker 2: Dodgers just are in the world Act like we don't
Speaker 2: cover this team? Yes, is how we're gonna act.
Speaker 4: Suzuki forty you might have Atani and Amoto and rookieak.
Speaker 2: Just because you drove a Suzuki Samurai in high school.
Speaker 2: That's the only reason you're interested in this story. Now,
Speaker 2: that's a goddamn line.
Speaker 4: Never been behind the wheel of a Susuki s I've
Speaker 4: never been in one. Suzukis had Missus sixth seed, You're right,
Speaker 4: sixteen years for five franchises and won the twenty nineteen
Speaker 4: World Series with the Nationals.
Speaker 3: So he knows what he's at an education.
Speaker 2: He spent the last ever managed before three years as
Speaker 2: a special assistant.
Speaker 3: Though to Perry Manassi, well was he the manager or
Speaker 3: was he in the front office?
Speaker 4: Well, if it's Manassi and it's a front office guy,
Speaker 4: seems like he was in the front He's a SoCal
Speaker 4: guy who played in Fullerton.
Speaker 3: He did.
Speaker 4: Former Angel stars al Poolholz and Tory Hunter at an
Speaker 4: Arkansas Pine Bluff were also in consideration for the job
Speaker 4: to replace Ron Washington, a Supreme educator. Ron missed nearly
Speaker 4: half of the twenty twenty five season while undergoing quadruple
Speaker 4: bypass surgery. The Angels rewarded him by firing him. Wait
Speaker 4: to make it and stay alive. But you're fired, Ron.
Speaker 4: There's more off the field Angels news, Matt that you
Speaker 4: don't seem to want to participate in.
Speaker 3: Well, I'll do it.
Speaker 2: This I'm fine with because it's not on the field news.
Speaker 2: You're fine with this death and destruction. Mike Trout testified
Speaker 2: today at Santa Anna Court that he loved his teammate
Speaker 2: Tyler Skaggs like a brother and never saw signs of
Speaker 2: drug use before he died of an overdose on a
Speaker 2: team trip to Texas in twenty nineteen. Trout took the
Speaker 2: stand in a civil trial of whether the team should
Speaker 2: be held responsible for its communications director Eric Kaye, giving
Speaker 2: Skags a fentanyl laced pill that led to his death.

Speaker 4: mean tips off again and there's nobody like James Worthy.
Speaker 4: Big Game. James is an ambassador to the city of
Speaker 4: Los Angeles for pro basketball and specifically the Lakers.
Speaker 3: I think the Lakers could win it.
Speaker 5: Many do.
Speaker 4: Forget about all these other stupid questions. That's the question.
Speaker 3: How the Lakers win it?
Speaker 4: MVP multiple championships with the Showtime Lakers Emmy's eternal celebration
Speaker 4: for one of the greatest NBA players of all time
Speaker 4: and a champion of the NCAA Tournament as well. He
Speaker 4: knows nothing but greatness and also a jazz afficionado. Our
Speaker 4: dear friend James Worthy on The Petrosen Money Show. What's cracking? James?
Speaker 4: How are you?
Speaker 5: Here? We go? Here we go, always exciting to get
Speaker 5: things going, So why not get it started? On The
Speaker 5: Petrosen Money Show, Why not?
Speaker 4: And where we really appreciate you doing it. Say hi
Speaker 4: to Geeter for us and everybody else over there in
Speaker 4: El Segundo. But give us a little vibe on you know,
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure you have a pretty good idea
Speaker 4: of what's gonna what the team is like, or what
Speaker 4: might happen when the season starts. Do you feel differently
Speaker 4: this year than you have in the last few years.
Speaker 5: Well, you know, given the fact that they they they
Speaker 5: had like half a season with Luca last year and
Speaker 5: they were able to get to third in the West,
Speaker 5: which was you know, kind of impressive without a d
Speaker 5: without a a rem protector, and then they met their
Speaker 5: fate uh in Minnesota. So I think it's nervous time.
Speaker 5: I think it's nervous time because you got a full
Speaker 5: year with with Luca. Lebron will come along a little
Speaker 5: bit later. You got a center in Ayton who's who's
Speaker 5: revived and trying to revitalize his himself. Remember he had
Speaker 5: great years at Portland. I mean I mean at Phoenix,
Speaker 5: not so good at Portland. So, uh, he's capable, he's young.
Speaker 5: You got Marcus Smart, Uh, you know, a guy who's
Speaker 5: good for the locker room, like a real dog in there,
Speaker 5: who's gonna you know, lead by example and and we'll
Speaker 5: be able to speak, you know that knowledge. And then
Speaker 5: you've got you know, Austin Reeves on the last year
Speaker 5: of his deal motivated. You know, Rui's got a lot
Speaker 5: to dool So you know, they they have the pieces
Speaker 5: and they have the team. It's just a matter of
Speaker 5: are they gonna be able to compete in a you know,
Speaker 5: in a very tough West Conference. But I think the
Speaker 5: opening night with Luca healthy and and you know, ready
Speaker 5: to lead, you know, without Lebron. Last year they fared
Speaker 5: pretty well when Luca was on the floor. I think
Speaker 5: they you know, they they did okay without Lebron. So
Speaker 5: it's just going to be interesting to see how they
Speaker 5: come out of the blocks and what JJ Reddick has
Speaker 5: done to implement you know, new players and how they're
Speaker 5: going to play their roles.
Speaker 2: James, what have what have you seen kind of thus
Speaker 2: far practice preseason? I know it's not a lot, but
Speaker 2: just from the new look Luca cutting weight, getting in
Speaker 2: shape because you know, I know people would get on
Speaker 2: him for for being heavy, but that seemed like is
Speaker 2: what he used to his advantage, right, He was like Jokic,
Speaker 2: just pushing people around, using that weight to throw defenders
Speaker 2: off of him. How much do you think his game
Speaker 2: will change, if at all? And and do you think
Speaker 2: it's for the better? Do you think it'll it'll hit
Speaker 2: him at all that he's got to make some sort
Speaker 2: of adjustments or what do you think we'll see from him?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I agree with you. I remember Jokic, you know,
Speaker 5: he was, you know what, wasn't in like the best
Speaker 5: of shape, and then he figured it out. But he
Speaker 5: still had his weight on him. He still had you know, muscle,
Speaker 5: and he just he's a people mover. That's how That's
Speaker 5: how jokis and you know, uh, Lucas similar. I think
Speaker 5: he still has his strength even though he didn't have
Speaker 5: you know, the weight that he has. He still has
Speaker 5: you know that he's still tall, he's still massive. You know.
Speaker 5: Larry Bird was kind of like that, you know, didn't
Speaker 5: you know, he wasn't like, you know, super quick at
Speaker 5: getting around people, but knew how to create space. And
Speaker 5: I think I think what I've seen look at this far,
Speaker 5: it's it's gonna benefit him, you know, especially on the
Speaker 5: defensive end. He's he's not gonna get his tired, He's
Speaker 5: not going to have that actual weight, you know, to
Speaker 5: carry around, and uh, he still maintains his strength and
Speaker 5: ball handling skills. I haven't seen him skip anything. So
Speaker 5: I'm hoping that he'll be able to you know, sustain
Speaker 5: a little bit more left injury, be stronger down the
Speaker 5: stretch in the fourth quarter, which he already is but
Speaker 5: you know, going along with this team, being more of
Speaker 5: a leader. I see, I see it looks pretty good,
Speaker 5: you know what.
Speaker 2: You know the talent, I mean, you saw it in
Speaker 2: the playoffs. He helped the Suns get to an NBA
Speaker 2: final a few years back. For whatever reason, it got derailed.
Speaker 2: But we know what it looked like for these Lakers
Speaker 2: in the postseason. They needed a big and they did
Speaker 2: not have one, and it certainly cost him that series.
Speaker 2: He's kind of, what have you seen so far from
Speaker 2: Ayton from that position and how much of an addition
Speaker 2: that can be and how much that's going to help
Speaker 2: this team out.
Speaker 5: I see a willingness, and I see a guy that
Speaker 5: understands you're in Los Angeles now. When I think when
Speaker 5: he was in you know, Phoenix, I think he was
Speaker 5: you know, I think maybe he was like twenty two
Speaker 5: years old. He's like sixteen points, twelve rebounds, you know,
Speaker 5: help a team get to the finals. So he knows
Speaker 5: how to play. And I think being around you know,
Speaker 5: a successful franchise, a franchise that demands it. You know,
Speaker 5: when you come to Los Angeles, you're on the microscope
Speaker 5: every night. And what I saw in media day was
Speaker 5: his understanding of that. He knows he's got to be
Speaker 5: a defensive wizard and also be a threat offensively. And
Speaker 5: I you know, and a few games that I've seen,
Speaker 5: I've seen the effort, and you know, he's he's a
Speaker 5: pretty smart player. And I said this before. Guys they
Speaker 5: start to peak around twenty seven twenty eight, So you
Speaker 5: got Luca at twenty seven eight, and you know he's
Speaker 5: got it. He's got to get it done here. It's
Speaker 5: just he knows that this is Los Angeles. You know
Speaker 5: when you look at even guys like Dwight Howard or
Speaker 5: JaVale McGee, those guys got it done when they were here,
Speaker 5: and not to mention, you know, a D and some
Speaker 5: of the other grades. So yeah, he's he's in a
Speaker 5: he's in a good situation with Luca. He's with a
Speaker 5: good team, a good organization, and you know he's he's
Speaker 5: got to he's got to prevail.
Speaker 4: What do you think the Lebron situation will end up?
Speaker 4: Like this year? He's out right now. I mean he's
Speaker 4: old and he's not in his prime like those other
Speaker 4: guys that you mentioned, but still plays at a high level.
Speaker 4: But he's got a sciatica It just sounds like an
Speaker 4: old man injury because it is what what do you
Speaker 4: think is gonna happen? How much will he be able
Speaker 4: to contribute when he contributes?
Speaker 5: You're right, it is an old man I've had it
Speaker 5: for like three years. Just doesn't go away either. It's
Speaker 5: just the golf man. It's no there's no stretch the
Speaker 5: can can get rid of it. But you know, I think,
Speaker 5: you know, look Lebron for a long time, you know,
Speaker 5: he had he had you know, father time on the ropes.
Speaker 5: You know, in fact, he's still got father time backing up.
Speaker 5: You know, he's ropidoping for all the time. And I think,
Speaker 5: you know, we don't know, you know, how an off season,
Speaker 5: you know how his body feels, you know, And and
Speaker 5: I think he's just gonna survey. He knows his Lucas
Speaker 5: team now, I think Lebron knows that, but he wants
Speaker 5: to win. Lebron wants to win. He's he's not he's
Speaker 5: got that one chance to win. So he's gonna be observing.
Speaker 5: He's gonna be taking a look at the team and
Speaker 5: and seeing how you know, things unfold with you know,
Speaker 5: without him. Uh, I think it's gonna take a lot
Speaker 5: of bit of a lot of the leadership. Uh, you know,
Speaker 5: roll away from him. You know, he's he's gonna settle
Speaker 5: in and just play accordingly. But he's got to get
Speaker 5: healthy first. He can't come out there and you know,
Speaker 5: be seventy percent. At his age, he's got no records
Speaker 5: to just set anymore. Uh So I just think he's
Speaker 5: gonna take it easy and see how it's sound and
Speaker 5: foes and then make decisions accordingly.
Speaker 4: Now, James, you're gonna be looking clean tonight on TV.
Speaker 4: You look clean on TV in a nice suit. You know,
Speaker 4: you look good when in the eighties, back in the
Speaker 4: day and beyond. Uh, if you were playing now, I
Speaker 4: guess you'd be like really, I mean, you have to
Speaker 4: really concentrate on what you're gonna wear. The way they
Speaker 4: cover these guys walking into the stadium, you know, they're
Speaker 4: dressed up like it's like the Golden Globes or.
Speaker 3: Like they're going to space. Yeah, what do we just
Speaker 3: what are we doing?

Speaker 2: her bold visual story telling, and a new approach is
Speaker 2: what defined the look of Disney's most iconic era films
Speaker 2: theme park attractions as they made their debuts. Work from
Speaker 2: Mary Blair would inspire generations of artists and animators. She
Speaker 2: was born in McAllister, Oklahoma. She went to San Jose
Speaker 2: State Let's Go spart While there, she earned a scholarship
Speaker 2: for graduate work at the Schwina Art Institute of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: One of the most respected art schools in the country
Speaker 2: at the time. Graduated from there in thirty one, and
Speaker 2: her reputation has already made its rounds because the innovative
Speaker 2: in the thirties California Watercolor Society granted her admission upon
Speaker 2: her graduation.
Speaker 4: If there's going to be a society that does watercolors,
Speaker 4: that's the one.
Speaker 2: Mary Blair, that's what you want, right, God, she got it.
Speaker 2: It was her use of vibrant hughes whimsical designs that
Speaker 2: stood out made her quite famous in the artistic circles.
Speaker 2: She married fellow artist Lee Blair in nineteen thirty four.
Speaker 2: Together they joined a group of artists that were exploring
Speaker 2: the emerging field of animation. Nineteen forty, after declining previous advances,
Speaker 2: Walt Disney himself made the pitch to Mary Blair to
Speaker 2: join Walt Disney Studios. She worked on concept art for
Speaker 2: Dumbo Lady in the Tramp Fantasia. Walt requested her to
Speaker 2: join him on a goodwill tour of South America.
Speaker 4: South America America is a great.
Speaker 2: And during World War Two, sponsored by the US government
Speaker 2: Strength and Cultural Ties. She said it had a profound
Speaker 2: impact on her art, bright colors, geometric forms, lively patterns
Speaker 2: of Latin American culture is what influenced her style. And ultimately,
Speaker 2: she said Disney when she got back to California. She
Speaker 2: was a leading color stylist, a concept artist for all
Speaker 2: of those films of the forties and fifties. Her fingerprints
Speaker 2: p all over the famous Disney film Saludos Amigos, one
Speaker 2: of my favorite famous Disney film, the Three Cavalleros.
Speaker 4: Oh, come on, We're three cabalios, three gay cabilieros.
Speaker 2: And then some little films that didn't get as much attention,
Speaker 2: like Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan.
Speaker 4: Those are pit nothing compared nothing Cavalieros and Saludos Aveos.
Speaker 2: It was the warmth, the emotion, they said her colors
Speaker 2: brought to every scene. She left Disney in the mid
Speaker 2: nineteen fifties, hired as the lead illustrator. If you're of
Speaker 2: a certain age, you remember the Little Golden Books. She
Speaker 2: did all of that, Invited back by Walt Disney to
Speaker 2: design for the nineteen sixty four New York World's Fair.
Speaker 2: That is where she created the design and color scheme
Speaker 2: for And I did not know this. It was not
Speaker 2: an attraction ride. It was the Disney submission to the

Speaker 2: nineteen sixty four New York World's Fair, and then they
Speaker 2: moved it out to Disneyland. She died in nineteen seventy eight.
