Petro saying Money in five to seventy LA Sports Live

I forgot the quote. Here it is, and it's a

his opportunities. An optimist is one who makes opportunities of
his difficulties. It's gone to Yukes, good one, right, Yeah,

Tomorrow in place of the Petros and Money Show, we

it's not just a quote, but it is the final hour.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, three fun thing.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
We got some sples to say, some dishes to wash here.
The final hour fun fact is brought to you by Concord.
You a university, your Vines Masters in Coaching and Athletics
Administration program. What's the fact that over five thousand coaches
and administrators have graduated from their master's program. Find out
more at CUI dot edu slash coaching. I'm sure you
saw the story we did it here. You saw the
(03:45):
thieves out there at the loof in Paris. Yes, with
the crane and the crown jewels and just kind of whack.
You threatened a security guard with like a bandsaw and
somehow they got away with it. Well, this comes thanks
to that was kicking around the internet and found this.
Did you know? In August nineteen eleven, the Mona Lisa
was stolen. French poet Gillon Apoi was a suspect, and
(04:13):
when questioned, he implicated his friend Pablo Picasso, who was
arrested and considered the prime suspect of the theft of
the Mona Lisa. Instead, it was Louve employee Vincenzo Perugia,
who hid in a broom clauset until closing time and
(04:33):
simply walked out with the painting hidden under his coat.
Why did he do it? He believed the painting belonged
in Italy, an Italian museum as it was a da Vinci.
He sat on it for two years, but was caught
when he tried to sell it to Giovanni Poggi, the
director of the Ufizi Gallery in Florence, as a thank
(04:55):
you for not just you know, paying for it and
keeping it. The Louver allowed the Fetzi to put it
on display for two weeks before it was returned in
January of nineteen fourteen. Our man Perugia served six months,
but was hailed as an Italian patriot for his actions. Picasso,
obviously was Did.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
You see today that what the password was for the
lover love? Yeah? I didn't read the whole story, but
it was somebody knew the password, but the password for
whatever building or what was loover?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That would be your first yess yeah, maybe second behind password.
But yeah, well okay, password doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
What's next?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Let's try four ones? That's not that. What's next? Try love?
That works? They've got twenty million dollars in jewelry. Fantastic.
All right, don let's get to the quick hits. Somebody
ms quick hits, Come make it quick, y'all? Oh yeah,
(06:01):
all right, Dodgers. We were discussing this a little bit earlier.
Don they are picking up the ten million dollar option
for Max Monthly next season. David Vessey said that that.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Was foregone conclusion.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, fore gone conclusion. Fada compley incredibly affordable for a
guy that is a home run threat every single time
he steps into the batter's box. Some big ones in
the postseason. They're also picking up Alex Vessi's three and
a half million dollar club option for twenty twenty six
and as the most reliable left hander out of the bullpen,
no surprise there. I'll just ask you to revisit it.
(06:34):
We talked about it a little bit earlier though, down
just as someone who had been under contract with a team,
what you know, share with the people the off season
for someone that's got an option or is on the
trade block or might be released into free agency. Can
these guys just go into the off season with their
head down and tell their agents, oh, whatever, just call
me if something happens or what's going on in your mind?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Well you kind of know based on the year that
you had, like what's going to happen? Like Max months
he knew.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
They're picking this.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Yeah, I think the only thing for a guy like
Max Munsey is you start talking about an extension, but
once you get through your contract, you become a free agent.
And that's whatever in any sport you want, any player
wants to be is an unrestricted free agency. And so
you know, for a guy like Munsey, he's like, yeah,
I'm gonna make ten million next year, but then I'll
(07:21):
be unrestricted and maybe I get more somewhere else, maybe
the Dodgers give me more, whatever the case may be.
But yeah, it's pretty much your your agent's doing all
the work, but you kind of have an idea of
what your next year is going to look like, whether
you have an option, whether you you know you're a
free agent. That's the only time I think when you
really don't know is when you're an unrestricted free agent
(07:44):
freak a little bit, not really freaking out that you're
not going to get a deal if you've had a
good year, but more so like, is a team going
to come out of nowhere and offer me way more
money than where I'm at right now or something like that,
and so.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And now I got to move to Memphis.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Yeah, in that I was just going to say that
that you know a lot of guys want to stay
with their own team, like it happened to me in Denver.
I'll tell you so, I finished the year in Denver.
I was at the end of my contract. I was
a free agent. I wanted to stay in Denver, but
there was stuff going on in the front office. There's
going to be a coaching change or it's all. So
they offered me something, and I was, you know, close,
(08:21):
because I like Denver so much at that time. But
then two other teams came in and offered We offered
me way more money, so I had to go. And
I didn't want to go to Philadelphia. No offense to
people from Philadelphia, but I had to because the money
in the years were more right.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And I don't think there's anything wrong with the folks
from Philadelphia taking offense to that. I think you should understand.
I got a chance to live in Denver. I'm going
to go to Philadelphia, so don't take offense to it.
All right, you're Philadelphia. You're great at some things, not
as good as a place to live for a basketball
player as Denver. Back to the MLB, though done, free
agency did open today. Dodgers betting favorites right now this
(09:00):
out to land Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bashett. So one
and done for Mookie at shortstop the dot. You know,
Kim Bobashett.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
They're saying, as he gets a little older and he's
twenty seven going on twenty eight per opening day third base,
second base, there you go is where they're projecting him.
So now if a knee injury to a little less mobile.
We talked about Tommy Edmund. You know, is he going
to be an outfielder, Is he going to be an infielder.
If he's an infielder, you're talking Kyle Tucker. If he's
an outfielder, you're talking about Bob Baschett obviously had that
(09:37):
unbelievable home run in Game seven that very well could
have led the Blue Jays.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
But I was reading something mad like Kyle Tucker's in
line to get like four hundred million. Yeah, so maybe
they'd saved the two hundred million and have ended in
playing the outfield.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I'll tell you five to two odds that they would
land Bashett. He did get a qualifying offer, so that
would come with a loss of draft picks and all
that sort of stuff. But at this point, the Dodgers,
with all their thirty somethings do not care. He's expected
to get a five year deal. Like you said, save
yourself a couple hundred million bucks with Bova shed over
Kyle Tucker between one hundred and fifty and two hundred
(10:12):
million dollars.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Kyle Tucker, by the way, San Francisco Giants right field
short porch, left handed hitter, he rolled, he could hit
forty home runs. There, that's what we're saying. Okay, that's
my guest. Giants, Kyle Tucker, Buster Posey call it a date.
And finally, the San Diego Padres, it is not Albert Poolhols.
(10:34):
It is not a who had the seventeen hour It
was Pools that had like the nine hour interview. Instead,
they're going to hire former relief pitcher Craig Stamen as
their new manager. Captain Stamen played thirteen years in the
Major Six with the Pods when he retired in twenty
(10:56):
twenty two. He has been in their front office as
an assistant in baseball operations. It will be his first
time managing, and you very rarely see it. There are
not a lot of pitchers that become because you're not
an everyday player, that become baseball managers, the most popular
position is catcher, but after that it's almost always a
(11:19):
position player, just because of the demands of going out
there for one hundred and sixty two over one hundred
and eighty five days, versus a guy that goes out
every fifth day, or in the case of a relief pitcher,
you know is going to make an appearance in maybe
half for a third of the games all season long.
But good luck to him, good luck to the Padres.
We'll finish in second in the West again. Fourth manager
(11:44):
hired in the last two weeks without any major league
experience managing. You got Angels, Kurt Suzuki, the new guy
in San Diego, and the Nationals hired some guy who
was a minor league man. Is that so the Giants
sire the guy from Tennessee?
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Is that so that the front office can control the
manager with information? If you know what I'm saying, I
don't know what it is. This is this, you know
the new trend.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
You know, let's hire somebody that's hot hot shot, that
will hot shot.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, well, and I think that it's also you know,
when Craig Counsel got his ten twelve million bucks, Dave
Roberts making twelve million bucks. Like, I think these teams
were not used to paying managers, and then all of
a sudden that whole thing probably got thrown out a whack.
And I think there's still a number of teams that
are like, no, we're not doing it. We're gonna tell
you what the lineup is. We're gonna tell you what
(12:31):
you're Here's your folder with all of your data points.
Follow that and you should be fine. Can you get
two million?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Stanning? Yeah, what are you doing? Run cards? All right,
you're done on the Just follow the folder.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
You got it.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Here's there's eight hundred grand, So good luck, DJ and
Padre fans, Craig Stamming, your new manager, all right. When

of fact, But hey whatever, that's neither here nor there.
(13:51):
The Waves and the Bruins will tangle at Paully the

(14:13):
and he delivers every single year, and he delivers every
single time he joins the Petros and Money Show. It

Back on PMS coach, how are you, Matt?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I want a party with you many.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, that could get you a coordinated.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Malib Yeah, you chick out a Pepperdine.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's not as hard as we.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Feel left out.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
And I nearly got kicked out of UCLA, but fortunately
I was a good basketball player.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah that helps a little bit. I was not a
good basketball player.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Well, don for what scoring too many points?
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Yeah, there are some other things we can we can
we can discuss privately. Coach.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
We'll leave all that if we were all twenty years old,
we'll leave it all that.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
We uh, we'll look forward here, Coach pepper and we've
we've brought this up with you in the past. Love
when the local teams get together. Always great to see
U c l A. Given the opportunity for the squads
like Pepperdine or Loyola to get into Paulie Historic Paulie
and get a game. What are you looking for early
in the season, and maybe if you could just speak
(15:26):
to that is there is there value for you in
getting these local teams together?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Well, look, got one thing I'm well aware of is
the power of Pauli Pavilion. Uh do U c l
A brand. A lot of kids from California go to
these schools, they grow up UCLA fans giving them kids
a chance to play in Pauli Pavilion. We are state school.
(15:55):
We pay teams to play some of these games, so
you know, keeping them money. Uh, in state budget wise,
you can get in state teams a little cheaper. They
don't have to fly. But you know, when you start
talking about what I'm looking to get out of the
game other than goodwill giving teams to tell, you know,
(16:15):
doing those things for the rotating and try we try
to rotate it, Matt. You know, you know if we
play a lot of different teams and rotations, but you're
trying to win and you're trying to learn about your
team so you can grow and get better. And a
lot of that for me is identifying some things strategically
(16:40):
so that you're what are you going to have to
do to win at the highest level. Obviously we play
in the Big ten. You know, we play Arizona in
eight days. But Pepperdine has got some European guys where
they did a really good job, somebody spending a lot
(17:01):
of time in Europe on that staff. I mean they
got they got like four guys that their name ends
with the ice. You know, the I c Scuba Diitch.
You know the progage. But I mean they got some guys.
These guys know how to play too, So you know
it's hard at that level. Coach Shilling, you know you
(17:23):
got to read your Basically, if you have a good player,
he goes into portal to get paid. You got to
replace your whole team almost every year. But they did
a pretty good job of it. You know, they they
got some guys can shoot the ball, they got some
guys know how to play. So first and foremost you
got to get ready to then win the game. Then
(17:44):
learning and growing it all comes through. You know what happens,
and you try to assess some things you've got to
get better at strategically, some changes you might need to
make in your schools.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
You know, Mick Monday sitting there doing that game. At
least for me, I never felt like there was a
There was never a doubt you guys were gonna win
the game. But I've gotten to know you. I know
what you're about, I know what you expect from your team.
And I just watching that game, I was I was
trying to I was trying to say it without really
saying it that I knew that you weren't happy, number one,
(18:16):
and number two that that maybe in a in a
small way, that was a good thing. You blew out
a revining the exhibition, and now you know, maybe this
is a teachable moment that you guys were didn't play
to the level that you expect. You won the game,
and I'm assuming you had a pretty good week of
practice so far.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah, well, you know me well, and you know there's
a reason you're a great analyst, don that you know
you know, So, yes, I wasn't happy U. But also yes,
I knew it was probably coming. Our guys know they
can score. We score pretty easily mm hmm. But probably
(18:59):
the best offensive team because of our guard play and
our ability to shoot the ball at the other positions
that that I've had at U C. L A. And
you know, we obviously had some good players. Now I
got guys in the NBA, but just the way our
pieces fit, we can score. I thought the guys just
(19:19):
had it on cruise control. And you know, I don't
believe in that. It's just not the way my DNA
is cut your crew. It's just you're not It's just
can't be that. You can't be about that. So Yeah,
we had a great practice on Wednesday. Try not to
get everybody hurt in that practice. It was a little fit.
(19:43):
You can imagine you've been there, done, Yeah, it was
you know, try not to get everybody hurt and h
you know, and hopefully well h I don't know how
much Eric Daly will play, but he's gonna place Friday night.
And he is our most physical player. He has the
most energy on our team. He talks the most and
(20:08):
it's just interesting, you know, like as good as our
guards are, they're not loud. And that's what that scares me.
You know, you got to have a guy that's loud.
He brings energy, emotion, he keeps your He always practices
hard at the highest level. But Jamar Brown does, but
(20:28):
he's not loud, and he's new, you know, where Eric
Daly is a confident guy and he's we need his
voice and his energy. So it's good to have him back.
I well, you know, I'll probably try to minute restrict
him a little bit. He don't want to hear that,
but you know, he hasn't had any swelling in a
in about a week, so he feels really good. But
(20:49):
you know, how it is done when you really haven't
played in an in about a month.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
You know what what jumped off the page to me
on Monday, aside from the defensive and that being on
cruise control like it seems like they were. And I
had heard so much about him. I'll admit I didn't
watch a lot of him last year at New Mexico,
but it had read a lot and listened to you
talk about how good he was, and it really jumped
off the page. And for UCLA fans listening Mick, like
(21:14):
how much easier Donovan Dent makes the game, not only
for himself but for everybody on the team. That really
stood out to me on Monday.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
You know how it is don like back in your
playing days. Man, When a guy delivers the ball on
time and on target the boy, it makes scoring so
much easier. And then you attack on he can score
and he's just really hard to defend guy. And what
I've worked with him on on is cutting down his turnovers.
(21:44):
He I think he got bored. He tried to gamble
two months with his passing at times he had to
try to put on a cape and dominate for New Mexico.
And I just watched all his films in the off
season and tried to, you know, have really sit down
with him and tell him, look, you know, here's what
(22:06):
you need to improve on to be a first team
All American, to be an NBA draft pick. And two things.
Cut down on his turnovers, which he's done so far.
You know, last two games he's had seventeen assisted two turnovers.
And if he takes care of the ball, he's a
(22:28):
devastating player on offense. And look for fans, Don, like
you talk about fun, like that's fun to watch. It's
just like you're watching Patrick Mahomes play quarterback. You know,
somebody can just make make make plays that it gets
you out of your seat, you know. And like you said,
for his teammates, well, it's fun that way. When you're
(22:49):
wide open. It's fun to get the ball, whether it's
for a dunk or a wide open three. It's frustrating
when you don't get it and get it.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Not only does it make the game easier on his
teammates on offense, Don, more importantly, it makes it easier
on his coach.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
More importantly, we love it.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
It's nothing harder than scoring, nothing harder than scorn, buddy.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Nothing the uh you said something and I would love
to to well, I'm going to follow up. You mentioned
the spectacular and I can't I think it was I
don't remember. Was it Booker that got the dunk off
the no look? And you know there is something like
like you said, it gets everybody up, It builds energy
in the stadium, It gets you kind of what you're
looking for, right that juice. As a coach, are you
(23:37):
all right with you know, Okay, maybe I'm gonna get
some mistakes off something like this, but I kind of
know the value of a play like that that that
it does go more than just the two points after
the ball passes through.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yeah, I mean, i'd say this when when you have
somebody that it's a playmaker, whether it's a playmaker or
like a guy like Don that was a great score
that you they're gonna take some tough shots now and
then a playmaker is going to make a pass now
(24:10):
and then, whether it's a lob or something that doesn't work.
So yeah, you know that as a coach, they just
they got to make you as their coach, you got
to make sure that they know that there's maybe a
time for that you're winning. There's not a time for
that crunch time, close game, you know. So that's the key.
(24:32):
But yeah, sure he's gonna You've got to allow scores rope.
You got to allow playmakers some rope because that you
want them on the attack, you know, you want them
making plays. And like I said, like with a score,
like whether it was don play like for me Hi
May senior year, you know, because he went from a
(24:54):
role player to a great player. It was you know,
me pulling him aside. And look, now, you know, when
you've got it going, don't just don't don't be thinking
about whether I think it's a good shot or not.
If you've got it going, uh, just go for it,
you know, just keep you know when you got to
go and go for it. So, yeah, there's an art
to coaching a guy that has a great talent, just
(25:18):
like a shop blocker. Every now and then he's gonna
have a goaltend.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You know.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
I was saying during the broadcast, Mick, that you have
some known things on this team. Scott Clark is a
known Donovan Dent known billadeout daily when he gets back. Known.
But I thought what was really encouraging the other night
was Trent Pierry, an Xavier Booker. I thought they both
feel like you You've talked about Booker becoming more of
an interior presence, more of a rint protector, more of
(25:45):
a five man a center than a guy floating out
on the perimeter. And I I thought they both played
really well on Monday night.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Well offensively they did. Their coach, I include myself on this.
We were terrible defensively, but like I said, it was
cruise control. So in defense is just an effort thing. Yeah,
and it's not. It's human nature. Like you said, you
win a game, it's human nature to relax when you
(26:14):
especially start thinking, well, you know, we went down to
San Diego State, got up seventeen and cruised in front
of ten thousand people. We beat Irvin forty, so he's
you know, got he start feeling like, you know, your
big shots. That's human nature. But h Xavier Booker can
play offense, you know, I got to get him to
(26:35):
do like when the rubber meets the road down. He
gonna have to defend and rebound like for us to
you know, you know, we're at UCLA, like you want
to make an NCAA tournament deep run, He's gonna have
to defend and rebound, and for him to have a
career beyond UCLA, he's gonna have to defend and rebound,
but he can score. And you know, we may have
(26:57):
to play some zone at times if we you know,
we had the bigger lineup with Daily, Billadeaux and Booker
as time goes as an outpitch. But Trent Perry like,
there's no look, he's just he's going to have the
imay career.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Now.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I don't know if filling up as good, but he's
Trent Perry's going to get better every year. And as
you know, you got to get some minutes to get comfortable,
you know, And I'm just trying to get him to
realize he's got to relax. See sometimes, Donnie, you know,
because for people listening, don Train's guys for a great
agency for the NBA draft, and Hi May was with
(27:39):
that agency and he Don's done it forever, Matt, and
so all these guys have pro aspirations. And when you're
a McDonald's all American, you think, you know, it's only
natural to feel like you're not going to be in
college very long. And when I've tried to you know,
my fight with Trent is you can't make the NBA
(28:03):
in one jump shot. Okay, you got to just play
basketball and enjoy and enjoy you say, la, play the
game one shot at a time, focus on winning and
everything it takes. And you can't. You got so much
pressure on yourself. It's obvious, like you know your We
actually show guys body language edits. We literally show them
(28:28):
from the clips, so you know, like when they miss
a shot their body language that you know it shouldn't.
You got to just keep playing, Like why do you
care more about whether your shot goes and then whether
my shot goes in? It's you know, it's you should
care about whether they're not you or me, whether the
Bruins win. I mean, you know and NBA scouts there,
(28:51):
if they're not, they're watching your everything you do. You know,
it's this kid matured as his decision making, and so
I just I talked about that because you know, Trys
a young kid, and he puts too much pressure on
on one play and he's just got to get onto
the next play and the next play. You got to
realize you're gonna have a lot of plays this year.
(29:12):
Some are gonna go well, some are not, And you
just got to get on to the next one and grow,
and it's just a maturing process. But that's just the
you know, that's let's the system now tells all these
guys that they're all gonna before they get to us,
they're only going to be there a year or two
and they're going to go to the NBA. So helping
(29:34):
a young guy deal with that is part of the
job for me.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
We'll wrap it up with this Coachmick Cronin with us.
It's UCLA Pepperdine tomorrow night out at Polly Pavilion, A
seven thirty tip. Don McClain going to be on the
call with our man Carlo who calls Clipper games on
the Big ten Network. But look, I'm not saying you
got you gotta shove the number thirteen Dave Concepsi on
in a trunk forever. But you have been here a
while now, it's been like seven eight years. I would
(29:58):
assume you love the Dodger.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I'm a Dodger guy. There we go.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
That's what we'd like to hear. So Dodger guy. Uh,
and you talk about great body language. Never saw that
team's shoulders slump when they were down. Fight till the
very end. What'd you make of the world series? Where'd
you watch it? And Uh, how inspiring was it to
see the way this thing played out?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Buddy? I was as the best series, you know for people.
If my dad worked for the Atlanta Braves, he's in
the Scouting Hall of Fame in Saint Paul. So I
grew up a Braves fan. And when my dad retired
and the rest of the guy's Bobby Cox and his
whole crew that built at the nineties Braves, when they
retired in around six, I had no team really. So
(30:43):
when I got here, Dave Roberts was the first person
to call me, Wow, there is no better guy in
sports in California. And Dave Roberts, there's no better person.
He's no nicer guy. I'm gonna hook up with him
over Thanksgiving. We're gonna have we get a couple of
days off off and I'm looking forward to that. So,
(31:04):
I mean, he's I was. When you're rooting for your friends,
it's nerve wracking and the suspense was just the I mean,
unbelievable series. And here's what Dave Roberts told me, Because
I tell him, coach, you're not going to take any credit.
As coaches, you got to know. Look, if you win,
you should have uh and you got great players. If
(31:24):
you lose, it's all on the coach, never on the players.
And we accept that. The veterans like you know that
that's what's going to be said. You just can't worry
about it. But he made some big time calls and
he won't take any credit, whether you know putting in
Rojas his pit, you know his pitching moves the entire series.
(31:47):
You know he has a guy get what in the
eighteen inning game, we get the young guy gets four
innings out of the game. Well call it. I mean
this guy mean the guy came in looked like Steve Carleton.
I mean, so he won't take credit. But Dave Roberts
was clauset m v P. I mean, obviously Amamoto is
(32:08):
to go. That was who does that? Who pitches three
times like that? And then don't count that he warmed
up in the eighteen inning game. He was ready to
He ran out there, warmed up. Today's athletes can be
a little bit let's say coddled. You said it. I
(32:31):
know they get on me, they say I'm too tough,
so ill that I know, Donald's to practice. My team,
they're soft. I bring I bring Don in. He'll say, no,
it was it was so great, it was so great
to watch. But coach Roberts told me, h the other day,
the best thing about his team obviously their talent, but
(32:55):
that they were a great guys on their team. And
it's a really underrated thing in sports. It really is
character and guys that just care about winning, you know,
and look at whether it's they got they got. Those
Hall of famers are the nicest guys ever Otany Freeman,
Mookie Betts, Clayton Kershall. I mean, these guys, they don't
(33:16):
they don't have arrogance about them. I mean, how many
guys are win six Gold Gloves and say yeah, okay,
I'll play shortstop like nobody does that in this day
and age. I mean, you know, this day and age
guys want to say they want load management. Yeah they don't.
The last thing a guy's going to do is switch
positions when he's playing for the you know, become a
Hall of Famer. So uh, they're they're easy to root
(33:39):
for the Dodgers because of coach Roberts and the quality
of guys on their team. So cheers to them. But
I was a nervous wreck during Game seven, a nervous wreck.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
It was incredible and it all came out perfectly. We're
going to replay that game seven here on your home
with the Dodgers on Friday. That's tomorrow from three to seven.
And just so you know, coach, when I when Don
comes in, he tells me I'm soft. So it works
universally basketball corter and I call him that's all I do,
and I accept it.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Hey, Don and I one thing once I got here.
You know, we met Donn and I see things the
same way we we you know a lot of people
have do you know different. It doesn't mean we're always right,
but our perspective on things is pretty much that toughness
matters and if you want something, go take it. And
(34:30):
you know we we we we believe in in that.
We so uh, he can always probably say, hey, here's
what Mick's thinking. He doesn't even need to talk to me.
We love it.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
We love having you on good Luck tomorrow night the
rest of the way, and hopefully it's going to be
another successful Petros and Money show. Mick cron In relationship
through an incredibly successful season We always love having you coach.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
All right, guys. Thanks. I guess Petros he's out stealing
money on some football game.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Yes, he is out in Orlando. Uh, you know, taking
care of the Central Florida Golden Knights out there. So
it's soft, you know, soft can't do the radio show
and call a football game.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
What the heck blight it, boy, isn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:11):
It is so thank you coach seeing them.
Speaker 3 (35:14):

Bob Seger's label, Tyler Pitch. I don't know what label
that it was just Bob Seager Records or what bullet
Bob Records? Yeah, yeah, sounds good. Moved to LA to
continue his music career. Would actually end up living in
the same Echo Park apartment building as musician Jackson Brown.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
How about that.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
In nineteen seventy Fry met drummer Don Henley. Two of
them were hired to be in the to be in
the backup band for Lynda Ronstadt for upcoming tour. While
on tour, Fry and Henley decided to form a band
to Keller, were joined by Randy Meisner and Bernie leyden

(40:22):
bit of acting. Was on Miami Wece don't really remember

Speaker 2 (40:26):
When you said and of course Smuggler's Blues. I thought
you're going to bring me a little Smuggler's blues when
he did his Miami Vice run there it was pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
Nas Bridges. I do remember this one, really, I remember
this one.

Speaker 5 (40:37):
He was the GM of the Arizona Cardinals in in
Jerry mcglaure exactly for I was married twice, has three children.
In two thousand, who's diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. The medication
that he was prescribed to control the disease eventually led
to colitis in pneumonia, which he died from in twenty sixteen.
(40:59):
Happy he would have been seventieth birthday to Glenn Fry.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
I'll tell you, man, Glenn Fry solo talk about saxophone man, Yeah, right,

I want to say, Fry wasn't in here, but f
I was a big sports fan. I think it has
(41:25):
to be a lot of Laker Laker games. He was
a regular presence. I remember seeing the Laker game absolutely
all right, you're a live guy. Uh, We're gonna go.
Jerry Yang Jerry was born Yang Chi Yuan in Taipei, Taiwan.
His father an English and drama professor that died when
Chi Yuan was just two years old. Down the road
(41:45):
when he was nine, he his grandmother, mom, and younger
brother all moved to San Jose in the late seventies.
Talk about catching a break. Mom made money teaching English.
She had heard there was an influx of immigrants to
that area, pouring in to the greater San Jose Palo
Alto area. So Chin Yuan said he knew one word
(42:09):
when he arrived. That word was shoe like a shoe
or shoe away a shoe, that's my shoe. Over the
next three years, he would become fluent in English and
decided to Americanize his name and became Jerry Yang. He
excelled in school Piedmont Hills High, became fluent in English,
as we said, and was accepted as Stanford electrical engineering.
(42:31):
He and his best pal David Philo did the exchange
program over in Japan for six months. That's where he
met his future wife, a Japanese gal named Akiko, And
when he was in grad school, he and Filo started
Jerry and David's Guide to the world Wide Web. It
was a directory of other websites organized in a hierarchy,
(42:56):
as opposed to what at the time was kind of
being used a searchable index of just pages. In March
nineteen ninety four, Jerry and David's Guide to the world
Wide Web was renamed to a much easier to roll
off the tongue Yahoo and big brains come up with
this sort of stuff. Why Yahoo? Yet another hierarchically organized
(43:22):
oracle was the backronym that they used there. And by
the fall of ninety four they were already getting one
hundred thousand unique visitors, so venture capital was all over
them to hand the money. In ninety six they had
fifty employees. They went public. He was a superstar and
again kind of getting lucky by moving to San Jose
in ninety seven. How about this, Jerry Yang takes a
(43:43):
trip to China and again talk about just time and
place and perfect timing. He was assigned because he was
a big deal guy's worth you know, billion dollars, a
government employed tour guide and former English teacher to give
him a tour of the Great Wall of China. That
tour guide Jack Ma, so Ma of course would create
(44:05):
Ali Baba after the two of them hit it off,
and he asked Yang what he did and how did
you do it? And he explained to him that this
is the way it works. So Mo freaking starts Ali
Baba because he is his tour guide. Wow for the
Great Wall of China. Remember, by ninety eight, Yaho was
the most popular starting point for any web users. They
(44:26):
preceded Google and back to man Ali Baba. Yahoo purchased
a forty percent steak in the company for a billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
They would sell a portion of that steak, not all
of it, just a portion five years later for eight
billion dollars and then made ten billion dollars when Ali
Baba went public. It is called the greatest investment in
American company has ever made in China. So you're saying
Yang's got some looke? Yeah, what you're saying, Scott's Well,
he kind of stepped in it though. Don Microsoft, when
(44:55):
Steve Balmer was there, tried to buy Yahoo for forty
five billion dollars in two thousand and eight, but Yang refused.
The moment he refused, the stock price plunged. Shareholders lost
damn near everything. Another misstep, Yang handed over the email
address of a Chinese journalist that was sending out pro
(45:15):
democracy emails from his Yahoo account, and that did not
end well for journalist Shechitao. However, Whang record Yang recognized
his mistake, he left Yahoo, he started a new firm,
and then dumped hundreds of millions of dollars into philanthropy.
So happy birthday fifty seven. Jerry Yang lived quite a life,
(45:38):
this guy, right.
Speaker 4 (45:40):
I was just thinking, don you and Carlo pregame tomorrow,
maybe having video you take him some shots from inside
PAULI put them up on social media, a little TikTok,
little d mac TikTok, did a.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Lot of pizza. Recall, what do you think like a
little like, Hey, this was my favorite spot on the court,
and yeah, this is where this was my hot spot.
Film me, Carlo. Not a bad idea, Don, It's not
a bad idea. But there is absolutely zero chance.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
That I'm doing that.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
I hope Carlo's listening. Carlo's always looking for new content. Man,
he's got to keep that TikTok algorithm humming. You better
interview the guy that runs poly Pavilion or something that's
just the janitor. What kind of up do you use
out here to get this floor so beautiful? We appreciate it.

We got some sples to say, some dishes to wash here.
The final hour fun fact is brought to you by Concord.
You a university, your Vines Masters in Coaching and Athletics
Administration program. What's the fact that over five thousand coaches
and administrators have graduated from their master's program. Find out
more at CUI dot edu slash coaching. I'm sure you
saw the story we did it here. You saw the
(03:45):
thieves out there at the loof in Paris. Yes, with
the crane and the crown jewels and just kind of whack.
You threatened a security guard with like a bandsaw and
somehow they got away with it. Well, this comes thanks
to that was kicking around the internet and found this.
Did you know? In August nineteen eleven, the Mona Lisa
was stolen. French poet Gillon Apoi was a suspect, and
(04:13):
when questioned, he implicated his friend Pablo Picasso, who was
arrested and considered the prime suspect of the theft of
the Mona Lisa. Instead, it was Louve employee Vincenzo Perugia,
who hid in a broom clauset until closing time and
(04:33):
simply walked out with the painting hidden under his coat.
Why did he do it? He believed the painting belonged
in Italy, an Italian museum as it was a da Vinci.
He sat on it for two years, but was caught
when he tried to sell it to Giovanni Poggi, the
director of the Ufizi Gallery in Florence, as a thank
(04:55):
you for not just you know, paying for it and
keeping it. The Louver allowed the Fetzi to put it
on display for two weeks before it was returned in
January of nineteen fourteen. Our man Perugia served six months,
but was hailed as an Italian patriot for his actions. Picasso,
obviously was Did.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
You see today that what the password was for the
lover love? Yeah? I didn't read the whole story, but
it was somebody knew the password, but the password for
whatever building or what was loover?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That would be your first yess yeah, maybe second behind password.
But yeah, well okay, password doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
What's next?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Let's try four ones? That's not that. What's next? Try love?
That works? They've got twenty million dollars in jewelry. Fantastic.
All right, don let's get to the quick hits. Somebody
ms quick hits, Come make it quick, y'all? Oh yeah,
(06:01):
all right, Dodgers. We were discussing this a little bit earlier.
Don they are picking up the ten million dollar option
for Max Monthly next season. David Vessey said that that.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Was foregone conclusion.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, fore gone conclusion. Fada compley incredibly affordable for a
guy that is a home run threat every single time
he steps into the batter's box. Some big ones in
the postseason. They're also picking up Alex Vessi's three and
a half million dollar club option for twenty twenty six
and as the most reliable left hander out of the bullpen,
no surprise there. I'll just ask you to revisit it.
(06:34):
We talked about it a little bit earlier though, down
just as someone who had been under contract with a team,
what you know, share with the people the off season
for someone that's got an option or is on the
trade block or might be released into free agency. Can
these guys just go into the off season with their
head down and tell their agents, oh, whatever, just call
me if something happens or what's going on in your mind?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Well you kind of know based on the year that
you had, like what's going to happen? Like Max months
he knew.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
They're picking this.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Yeah, I think the only thing for a guy like
Max Munsey is you start talking about an extension, but
once you get through your contract, you become a free agent.
And that's whatever in any sport you want, any player
wants to be is an unrestricted free agency. And so
you know, for a guy like Munsey, he's like, yeah,
I'm gonna make ten million next year, but then I'll
(07:21):
be unrestricted and maybe I get more somewhere else, maybe
the Dodgers give me more, whatever the case may be.
But yeah, it's pretty much your your agent's doing all
the work, but you kind of have an idea of
what your next year is going to look like, whether
you have an option, whether you you know you're a
free agent. That's the only time I think when you
really don't know is when you're an unrestricted free agent
(07:44):
freak a little bit, not really freaking out that you're
not going to get a deal if you've had a
good year, but more so like, is a team going
to come out of nowhere and offer me way more
money than where I'm at right now or something like that,
and so.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And now I got to move to Memphis.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Yeah, in that I was just going to say that
that you know a lot of guys want to stay
with their own team, like it happened to me in Denver.
I'll tell you so, I finished the year in Denver.
I was at the end of my contract. I was
a free agent. I wanted to stay in Denver, but
there was stuff going on in the front office. There's
going to be a coaching change or it's all. So
they offered me something, and I was, you know, close,
(08:21):
because I like Denver so much at that time. But
then two other teams came in and offered We offered
me way more money, so I had to go. And
I didn't want to go to Philadelphia. No offense to
people from Philadelphia, but I had to because the money
in the years were more right.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And I don't think there's anything wrong with the folks
from Philadelphia taking offense to that. I think you should understand.
I got a chance to live in Denver. I'm going
to go to Philadelphia, so don't take offense to it.
All right, you're Philadelphia. You're great at some things, not
as good as a place to live for a basketball
player as Denver. Back to the MLB, though done, free
agency did open today. Dodgers betting favorites right now this
(09:00):
out to land Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bashett. So one
and done for Mookie at shortstop the dot. You know,
Kim Bobashett.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
They're saying, as he gets a little older and he's
twenty seven going on twenty eight per opening day third base,
second base, there you go is where they're projecting him.
So now if a knee injury to a little less mobile.
We talked about Tommy Edmund. You know, is he going
to be an outfielder, Is he going to be an infielder.
If he's an infielder, you're talking Kyle Tucker. If he's
an outfielder, you're talking about Bob Baschett obviously had that
(09:37):
unbelievable home run in Game seven that very well could
have led the Blue Jays.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
But I was reading something mad like Kyle Tucker's in
line to get like four hundred million. Yeah, so maybe
they'd saved the two hundred million and have ended in
playing the outfield.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I'll tell you five to two odds that they would
land Bashett. He did get a qualifying offer, so that
would come with a loss of draft picks and all
that sort of stuff. But at this point, the Dodgers,
with all their thirty somethings do not care. He's expected
to get a five year deal. Like you said, save
yourself a couple hundred million bucks with Bova shed over
Kyle Tucker between one hundred and fifty and two hundred
(10:12):
million dollars.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Kyle Tucker, by the way, San Francisco Giants right field
short porch, left handed hitter, he rolled, he could hit
forty home runs. There, that's what we're saying. Okay, that's
my guest. Giants, Kyle Tucker, Buster Posey call it a date.
And finally, the San Diego Padres, it is not Albert Poolhols.
(10:34):
It is not a who had the seventeen hour It
was Pools that had like the nine hour interview. Instead,
they're going to hire former relief pitcher Craig Stamen as
their new manager. Captain Stamen played thirteen years in the
Major Six with the Pods when he retired in twenty
(10:56):
twenty two. He has been in their front office as
an assistant in baseball operations. It will be his first
time managing, and you very rarely see it. There are
not a lot of pitchers that become because you're not
an everyday player, that become baseball managers, the most popular
position is catcher, but after that it's almost always a
(11:19):
position player, just because of the demands of going out
there for one hundred and sixty two over one hundred
and eighty five days, versus a guy that goes out
every fifth day, or in the case of a relief pitcher,
you know is going to make an appearance in maybe
half for a third of the games all season long.
But good luck to him, good luck to the Padres.
We'll finish in second in the West again. Fourth manager
(11:44):
hired in the last two weeks without any major league
experience managing. You got Angels, Kurt Suzuki, the new guy
in San Diego, and the Nationals hired some guy who
was a minor league man. Is that so the Giants
sire the guy from Tennessee?
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Is that so that the front office can control the
manager with information? If you know what I'm saying, I
don't know what it is. This is this, you know
the new trend.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
You know, let's hire somebody that's hot hot shot, that
will hot shot.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, well, and I think that it's also you know,
when Craig Counsel got his ten twelve million bucks, Dave
Roberts making twelve million bucks. Like, I think these teams
were not used to paying managers, and then all of
a sudden that whole thing probably got thrown out a whack.
And I think there's still a number of teams that
are like, no, we're not doing it. We're gonna tell
you what the lineup is. We're gonna tell you what
(12:31):
you're Here's your folder with all of your data points.
Follow that and you should be fine. Can you get
two million?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Stanning? Yeah, what are you doing? Run cards? All right,
you're done on the Just follow the folder.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
You got it.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Here's there's eight hundred grand, So good luck, DJ and
Padre fans, Craig Stamming, your new manager, all right. When
we returned, Mick cronin UCLA Bruins big victory over Eastern Washington,

of fact, But hey whatever, that's neither here nor there.
(13:51):
The Waves and the Bruins will tangle at Paully the
twelfth ranked UCLA Bruins one and zero on the season

folks a Big ten Network seven thirty pm tip off.
You're going to be on the call, Don, and we

favorites as we expect big things from him every year,
(14:13):
and he delivers every single year, and he delivers every
single time he joins the Petros and Money Show. It
is the incomparable Mick Cronin coach of your UCLA Bruins.
Back on PMS coach, how are you, Matt?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I want a party with you many.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, that could get you a coordinated.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Malib Yeah, you chick out a Pepperdine.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's not as hard as we.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Feel left out.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
And I nearly got kicked out of UCLA, but fortunately
I was a good basketball player.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah that helps a little bit. I was not a
good basketball player.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Well, don for what scoring too many points?
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Yeah, there are some other things we can we can
we can discuss privately. Coach.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
We'll leave all that if we were all twenty years old,
we'll leave it all that.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
We uh, we'll look forward here, Coach pepper and we've
we've brought this up with you in the past. Love
when the local teams get together. Always great to see
U c l A. Given the opportunity for the squads
like Pepperdine or Loyola to get into Paulie Historic Paulie
and get a game. What are you looking for early
in the season, and maybe if you could just speak
(15:26):
to that is there is there value for you in
getting these local teams together?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Well, look, got one thing I'm well aware of is
the power of Pauli Pavilion. Uh do U c l
A brand. A lot of kids from California go to
these schools, they grow up UCLA fans giving them kids
a chance to play in Pauli Pavilion. We are state school.
(15:55):
We pay teams to play some of these games, so
you know, keeping them money. Uh, in state budget wise,
you can get in state teams a little cheaper. They
don't have to fly. But you know, when you start
talking about what I'm looking to get out of the
game other than goodwill giving teams to tell, you know,
(16:15):
doing those things for the rotating and try we try
to rotate it, Matt. You know, you know if we
play a lot of different teams and rotations, but you're
trying to win and you're trying to learn about your
team so you can grow and get better. And a
lot of that for me is identifying some things strategically
(16:40):
so that you're what are you going to have to
do to win at the highest level. Obviously we play
in the Big ten. You know, we play Arizona in
eight days. But Pepperdine has got some European guys where
they did a really good job, somebody spending a lot
(17:01):
of time in Europe on that staff. I mean they
got they got like four guys that their name ends
with the ice. You know, the I c Scuba Diitch.
You know the progage. But I mean they got some guys.
These guys know how to play too, So you know
it's hard at that level. Coach Shilling, you know you
(17:23):
got to read your Basically, if you have a good player,
he goes into portal to get paid. You got to
replace your whole team almost every year. But they did
a pretty good job of it. You know, they they
got some guys can shoot the ball, they got some
guys know how to play. So first and foremost you
got to get ready to then win the game. Then
(17:44):
learning and growing it all comes through. You know what happens,
and you try to assess some things you've got to
get better at strategically, some changes you might need to
make in your schools.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
You know, Mick Monday sitting there doing that game. At
least for me, I never felt like there was a
There was never a doubt you guys were gonna win
the game. But I've gotten to know you. I know
what you're about, I know what you expect from your team.
And I just watching that game, I was I was
trying to I was trying to say it without really
saying it that I knew that you weren't happy, number one,
(18:16):
and number two that that maybe in a in a
small way, that was a good thing. You blew out
a revining the exhibition, and now you know, maybe this
is a teachable moment that you guys were didn't play
to the level that you expect. You won the game,
and I'm assuming you had a pretty good week of
practice so far.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah, well, you know me well, and you know there's
a reason you're a great analyst, don that you know
you know, So, yes, I wasn't happy U. But also yes,
I knew it was probably coming. Our guys know they
can score. We score pretty easily mm hmm. But probably
(18:59):
the best offensive team because of our guard play and
our ability to shoot the ball at the other positions
that that I've had at U C. L A. And
you know, we obviously had some good players. Now I
got guys in the NBA, but just the way our
pieces fit, we can score. I thought the guys just
(19:19):
had it on cruise control. And you know, I don't
believe in that. It's just not the way my DNA
is cut your crew. It's just you're not It's just
can't be that. You can't be about that. So Yeah,
we had a great practice on Wednesday. Try not to
get everybody hurt in that practice. It was a little fit.
(19:43):
You can imagine you've been there, done, Yeah, it was
you know, try not to get everybody hurt and h
you know, and hopefully well h I don't know how
much Eric Daly will play, but he's gonna place Friday night.
And he is our most physical player. He has the
most energy on our team. He talks the most and
(20:08):
it's just interesting, you know, like as good as our
guards are, they're not loud. And that's what that scares me.
You know, you got to have a guy that's loud.
He brings energy, emotion, he keeps your He always practices
hard at the highest level. But Jamar Brown does, but
(20:28):
he's not loud, and he's new, you know, where Eric
Daly is a confident guy and he's we need his
voice and his energy. So it's good to have him back.
I well, you know, I'll probably try to minute restrict
him a little bit. He don't want to hear that,
but you know, he hasn't had any swelling in a
in about a week, so he feels really good. But
(20:49):
you know, how it is done when you really haven't
played in an in about a month.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
You know what what jumped off the page to me
on Monday, aside from the defensive and that being on
cruise control like it seems like they were. And I
had heard so much about him. I'll admit I didn't
watch a lot of him last year at New Mexico,
but it had read a lot and listened to you
talk about how good he was, and it really jumped
off the page. And for UCLA fans listening Mick, like
(21:14):
how much easier Donovan Dent makes the game, not only
for himself but for everybody on the team. That really
stood out to me on Monday.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
You know how it is don like back in your
playing days. Man, When a guy delivers the ball on
time and on target the boy, it makes scoring so
much easier. And then you attack on he can score
and he's just really hard to defend guy. And what
I've worked with him on on is cutting down his turnovers.
(21:44):
He I think he got bored. He tried to gamble
two months with his passing at times he had to
try to put on a cape and dominate for New Mexico.
And I just watched all his films in the off
season and tried to, you know, have really sit down
with him and tell him, look, you know, here's what
(22:06):
you need to improve on to be a first team
All American, to be an NBA draft pick. And two things.
Cut down on his turnovers, which he's done so far.
You know, last two games he's had seventeen assisted two turnovers.
And if he takes care of the ball, he's a
(22:28):
devastating player on offense. And look for fans, Don, like
you talk about fun, like that's fun to watch. It's
just like you're watching Patrick Mahomes play quarterback. You know,
somebody can just make make make plays that it gets
you out of your seat, you know. And like you said,
for his teammates, well, it's fun that way. When you're
(22:49):
wide open. It's fun to get the ball, whether it's
for a dunk or a wide open three. It's frustrating
when you don't get it and get it.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Not only does it make the game easier on his
teammates on offense, Don, more importantly, it makes it easier
on his coach.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
More importantly, we love it.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
It's nothing harder than scoring, nothing harder than scorn, buddy.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Nothing the uh you said something and I would love
to to well, I'm going to follow up. You mentioned
the spectacular and I can't I think it was I
don't remember. Was it Booker that got the dunk off
the no look? And you know there is something like
like you said, it gets everybody up, It builds energy
in the stadium, It gets you kind of what you're
looking for, right that juice. As a coach, are you
(23:37):
all right with you know, Okay, maybe I'm gonna get
some mistakes off something like this, but I kind of
know the value of a play like that that that
it does go more than just the two points after
the ball passes through.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yeah, I mean, i'd say this when when you have
somebody that it's a playmaker, whether it's a playmaker or
like a guy like Don that was a great score
that you they're gonna take some tough shots now and
then a playmaker is going to make a pass now
(24:10):
and then, whether it's a lob or something that doesn't work.
So yeah, you know that as a coach, they just
they got to make you as their coach, you got
to make sure that they know that there's maybe a
time for that you're winning. There's not a time for
that crunch time, close game, you know. So that's the key.
(24:32):
But yeah, sure he's gonna You've got to allow scores rope.
You got to allow playmakers some rope because that you
want them on the attack, you know, you want them
making plays. And like I said, like with a score,
like whether it was don play like for me Hi
May senior year, you know, because he went from a
(24:54):
role player to a great player. It was you know,
me pulling him aside. And look, now, you know, when
you've got it going, don't just don't don't be thinking
about whether I think it's a good shot or not.
If you've got it going, uh, just go for it,
you know, just keep you know when you got to
go and go for it. So, yeah, there's an art
to coaching a guy that has a great talent, just
(25:18):
like a shop blocker. Every now and then he's gonna
have a goaltend.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You know.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
I was saying during the broadcast, Mick, that you have
some known things on this team. Scott Clark is a
known Donovan Dent known billadeout daily when he gets back. Known.
But I thought what was really encouraging the other night
was Trent Pierry, an Xavier Booker. I thought they both
feel like you You've talked about Booker becoming more of
an interior presence, more of a rint protector, more of
(25:45):
a five man a center than a guy floating out
on the perimeter. And I I thought they both played
really well on Monday night.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Well offensively they did. Their coach, I include myself on this.
We were terrible defensively, but like I said, it was
cruise control. So in defense is just an effort thing. Yeah,
and it's not. It's human nature. Like you said, you
win a game, it's human nature to relax when you
(26:14):
especially start thinking, well, you know, we went down to
San Diego State, got up seventeen and cruised in front
of ten thousand people. We beat Irvin forty, so he's
you know, got he start feeling like, you know, your
big shots. That's human nature. But h Xavier Booker can
play offense, you know, I got to get him to
(26:35):
do like when the rubber meets the road down. He
gonna have to defend and rebound like for us to
you know, you know, we're at UCLA, like you want
to make an NCAA tournament deep run, He's gonna have
to defend and rebound, and for him to have a
career beyond UCLA, he's gonna have to defend and rebound,
but he can score. And you know, we may have
(26:57):
to play some zone at times if we you know,
we had the bigger lineup with Daily, Billadeaux and Booker
as time goes as an outpitch. But Trent Perry like,
there's no look, he's just he's going to have the
imay career.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Now.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I don't know if filling up as good, but he's
Trent Perry's going to get better every year. And as
you know, you got to get some minutes to get comfortable,
you know, And I'm just trying to get him to
realize he's got to relax. See sometimes, Donnie, you know,
because for people listening, don Train's guys for a great
agency for the NBA draft, and Hi May was with
(27:39):
that agency and he Don's done it forever, Matt, and
so all these guys have pro aspirations. And when you're
a McDonald's all American, you think, you know, it's only
natural to feel like you're not going to be in
college very long. And when I've tried to you know,
my fight with Trent is you can't make the NBA
(28:03):
in one jump shot. Okay, you got to just play
basketball and enjoy and enjoy you say, la, play the
game one shot at a time, focus on winning and
everything it takes. And you can't. You got so much
pressure on yourself. It's obvious, like you know your We
actually show guys body language edits. We literally show them
(28:28):
from the clips, so you know, like when they miss
a shot their body language that you know it shouldn't.
You got to just keep playing, Like why do you
care more about whether your shot goes and then whether
my shot goes in? It's you know, it's you should
care about whether they're not you or me, whether the
Bruins win. I mean, you know and NBA scouts there,
(28:51):
if they're not, they're watching your everything you do. You know,
it's this kid matured as his decision making, and so
I just I talked about that because you know, Trys
a young kid, and he puts too much pressure on
on one play and he's just got to get onto
the next play and the next play. You got to
realize you're gonna have a lot of plays this year.
(29:12):
Some are gonna go well, some are not, And you
just got to get on to the next one and grow,
and it's just a maturing process. But that's just the
you know, that's let's the system now tells all these
guys that they're all gonna before they get to us,
they're only going to be there a year or two
and they're going to go to the NBA. So helping
(29:34):
a young guy deal with that is part of the
job for me.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
We'll wrap it up with this Coachmick Cronin with us.
It's UCLA Pepperdine tomorrow night out at Polly Pavilion, A
seven thirty tip. Don McClain going to be on the
call with our man Carlo who calls Clipper games on
the Big ten Network. But look, I'm not saying you
got you gotta shove the number thirteen Dave Concepsi on
in a trunk forever. But you have been here a
while now, it's been like seven eight years. I would
(29:58):
assume you love the Dodger.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I'm a Dodger guy. There we go.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
That's what we'd like to hear. So Dodger guy. Uh,
and you talk about great body language. Never saw that
team's shoulders slump when they were down. Fight till the
very end. What'd you make of the world series? Where'd
you watch it? And Uh, how inspiring was it to
see the way this thing played out?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Buddy? I was as the best series, you know for people.
If my dad worked for the Atlanta Braves, he's in
the Scouting Hall of Fame in Saint Paul. So I
grew up a Braves fan. And when my dad retired
and the rest of the guy's Bobby Cox and his
whole crew that built at the nineties Braves, when they
retired in around six, I had no team really. So
(30:43):
when I got here, Dave Roberts was the first person
to call me, Wow, there is no better guy in
sports in California. And Dave Roberts, there's no better person.
He's no nicer guy. I'm gonna hook up with him
over Thanksgiving. We're gonna have we get a couple of
days off off and I'm looking forward to that. So,
(31:04):
I mean, he's I was. When you're rooting for your friends,
it's nerve wracking and the suspense was just the I mean,
unbelievable series. And here's what Dave Roberts told me, Because
I tell him, coach, you're not going to take any credit.
As coaches, you got to know. Look, if you win,
you should have uh and you got great players. If
(31:24):
you lose, it's all on the coach, never on the players.
And we accept that. The veterans like you know that
that's what's going to be said. You just can't worry
about it. But he made some big time calls and
he won't take any credit, whether you know putting in
Rojas his pit, you know his pitching moves the entire series.
(31:47):
You know he has a guy get what in the
eighteen inning game, we get the young guy gets four
innings out of the game. Well call it. I mean
this guy mean the guy came in looked like Steve Carleton.
I mean, so he won't take credit. But Dave Roberts
was clauset m v P. I mean, obviously Amamoto is
(32:08):
to go. That was who does that? Who pitches three
times like that? And then don't count that he warmed
up in the eighteen inning game. He was ready to
He ran out there, warmed up. Today's athletes can be
a little bit let's say coddled. You said it. I
(32:31):
know they get on me, they say I'm too tough,
so ill that I know, Donald's to practice. My team,
they're soft. I bring I bring Don in. He'll say, no,
it was it was so great, it was so great
to watch. But coach Roberts told me, h the other day,
the best thing about his team obviously their talent, but
(32:55):
that they were a great guys on their team. And
it's a really underrated thing in sports. It really is
character and guys that just care about winning, you know,
and look at whether it's they got they got. Those
Hall of famers are the nicest guys ever Otany Freeman,
Mookie Betts, Clayton Kershall. I mean, these guys, they don't
(33:16):
they don't have arrogance about them. I mean, how many
guys are win six Gold Gloves and say yeah, okay,
I'll play shortstop like nobody does that in this day
and age. I mean, you know, this day and age
guys want to say they want load management. Yeah they don't.
The last thing a guy's going to do is switch
positions when he's playing for the you know, become a
Hall of Famer. So uh, they're they're easy to root
(33:39):
for the Dodgers because of coach Roberts and the quality
of guys on their team. So cheers to them. But

what Mick's thinking. He doesn't even need to talk to me.

(41:25):
to be a lot of Laker Laker games. He was
a regular presence. I remember seeing the Laker game absolutely
all right, you're a live guy. Uh, We're gonna go.
Jerry Yang Jerry was born Yang Chi Yuan in Taipei, Taiwan.
His father an English and drama professor that died when
Chi Yuan was just two years old. Down the road
(41:45):
when he was nine, he his grandmother, mom, and younger
brother all moved to San Jose in the late seventies.
Talk about catching a break. Mom made money teaching English.
She had heard there was an influx of immigrants to
that area, pouring in to the greater San Jose Palo
Alto area. So Chin Yuan said he knew one word
(42:09):
when he arrived. That word was shoe like a shoe
or shoe away a shoe, that's my shoe. Over the
next three years, he would become fluent in English and
decided to Americanize his name and became Jerry Yang. He
excelled in school Piedmont Hills High, became fluent in English,
as we said, and was accepted as Stanford electrical engineering.
(42:31):
He and his best pal David Philo did the exchange
program over in Japan for six months. That's where he
met his future wife, a Japanese gal named Akiko, And
when he was in grad school, he and Filo started
Jerry and David's Guide to the world Wide Web. It
was a directory of other websites organized in a hierarchy,
(42:56):
as opposed to what at the time was kind of
being used a searchable index of just pages. In March
nineteen ninety four, Jerry and David's Guide to the world
Wide Web was renamed to a much easier to roll
off the tongue Yahoo and big brains come up with
this sort of stuff. Why Yahoo? Yet another hierarchically organized
(43:22):
oracle was the backronym that they used there. And by
the fall of ninety four they were already getting one
hundred thousand unique visitors, so venture capital was all over
them to hand the money. In ninety six they had
fifty employees. They went public. He was a superstar and
again kind of getting lucky by moving to San Jose
in ninety seven. How about this, Jerry Yang takes a
(43:43):
trip to China and again talk about just time and
place and perfect timing. He was assigned because he was
a big deal guy's worth you know, billion dollars, a
government employed tour guide and former English teacher to give
him a tour of the Great Wall of China. That
tour guide Jack Ma, so Ma of course would create
(44:05):
Ali Baba after the two of them hit it off,
and he asked Yang what he did and how did
you do it? And he explained to him that this
is the way it works. So Mo freaking starts Ali
Baba because he is his tour guide. Wow for the
Great Wall of China. Remember, by ninety eight, Yaho was
the most popular starting point for any web users. They
(44:26):
preceded Google and back to man Ali Baba. Yahoo purchased
a forty percent steak in the company for a billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
They would sell a portion of that steak, not all
of it, just a portion five years later for eight
billion dollars and then made ten billion dollars when Ali
Baba went public. It is called the greatest investment in
American company has ever made in China. So you're saying
Yang's got some looke? Yeah, what you're saying, Scott's Well,
he kind of stepped in it though. Don Microsoft, when
(44:55):
Steve Balmer was there, tried to buy Yahoo for forty
five billion dollars in two thousand and eight, but Yang refused.
The moment he refused, the stock price plunged. Shareholders lost
damn near everything. Another misstep, Yang handed over the email
address of a Chinese journalist that was sending out pro
(45:15):
democracy emails from his Yahoo account, and that did not
end well for journalist Shechitao. However, Whang record Yang recognized
his mistake, he left Yahoo, he started a new firm,
and then dumped hundreds of millions of dollars into philanthropy.
So happy birthday fifty seven. Jerry Yang lived quite a life,
(45:38):
this guy, right.
Speaker 4 (45:40):
I was just thinking, don you and Carlo pregame tomorrow,
maybe having video you take him some shots from inside
PAULI put them up on social media, a little TikTok,
little d mac TikTok, did a.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Lot of pizza. Recall, what do you think like a
little like, Hey, this was my favorite spot on the court,
and yeah, this is where this was my hot spot.
Film me, Carlo. Not a bad idea, Don, It's not
a bad idea. But there is absolutely zero chance.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
That I'm doing that.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
I hope Carlo's listening. Carlo's always looking for new content. Man,
he's got to keep that TikTok algorithm humming. You better
interview the guy that runs poly Pavilion or something that's
just the janitor. What kind of up do you use
out here to get this floor so beautiful? We appreciate it.
Don remember to check him out tomorrow on the Big
ten Network with our man Carlo Carlo coming up next

Sun's here on a five seven LA Sports

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
