On this day in the year seventeen eighteen, the city
of New Orleans was founded.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Did you know?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Poker as we know it was invented in New Orleans,
Originating in the late eighteenth century, It became widespread thanks
to respected English actor Joseph Cowell reporting that he played
a game that he called the most interesting card game
he ever did. Play twenty cards, five apiece to four
(02:30):
players and a round of bets on which hand was
the most valuable? Poker became widespread in New Orleans was
its home?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Ronnie really relates to New Orleans as a French city.
I go further back and relate with it more of
a Spanish Spanish harbor town.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
That might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
That's right, No matter's way I do relate to it
is French. You know, in the streets there's the French name,
and then there's the old Spanish name, and I usually
use the Spanish name that is Guya. This shrimp heead
all right, It's time for the F one report Formula
(03:16):
one man. It's return this past weekend after a five
week hiatus with the cancelation of the races in Bahrain
and Saudi Arabia. El Bambino. Kimmy Antonelli continued his stunning
start to twenty twenty six with his third win in
four Grand Prix as he secured a sensational victory in Miami.
(03:38):
Kimmy delivered his finest all around performance of his sophomore season,
recording his third consecutive pole position to go with the
Grand Prix win. On Sunday. It was a complete performance
for Kimmy, the youngest driver on the Formula One grid.
He had to overcome several challenges going into the weekend,
including a schedule change on Sunday that saw the start
(04:00):
of the Grand Prix moved up by three hours to
avoid heavy rainstorms. How about that? How about that? Yeah,
rainstorms forecasting in Miami later that afternoon and they moved
up the race three hours. Would they do that with
a football game? They wouldn't do it for a baseball
game either. Caught me by surprise. Came home, I was like,
what the hell? Yeah, names damn near over. Some rain
(04:23):
did fall Sunday morning, the wet conditions abated for most
of the race and under cloudy conditions, the nineteen year
old Ita Loo from Bologna delivered an impressive performance. Impressive,
matt impressive because although he was on pole riding the D.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I like being on the pool.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, you ride the D every day. He relinquished the
lead once again on the rundown to turn one, something
he has done every time this season that he's been
on pole. But the Bambino did not panic. He did
not crack easy under pressure. He survived usual carnage on
lap one, which included a full three hundred and sixty
(05:04):
degree spin by the lustful Danish Prince Max for stopping Kimmy,
who had the quickest car all weekend, kept his cool
and fought his way back to the front, eventually getting
past reigning world champions sprite like Lando Norris and completely
outperforming his teammate, the curiously odd looking George Russell. Russell
(05:25):
who admitted on Saturday that the Miami circuit was not
his favorite on the calendar, and he lived up to
that remark on Sunday. He was half a second slower
than his teenage teammate all weekend. He has now failed
to make the podium in two successive races, finishing fourth
in Miami in a car that was evidently quick enough
(05:47):
to win the Grand Prix. What's up, George? He finished
forty three seconds behind Antonelli and has three weeks to
reassert himself as the number one driver for the Mercedes
team when they reconvene in Montreal. The odd looking George
now trails his teammate by twenty points at the top
of the Driver's Championship, and when the red lights went out,
(06:08):
a dramatic start ensued. Kimmy faced a three way scrap
alongside Mad Max and Little Chuck Leclair before both the
Mercedes and Red Bull cars locked up into the first corner.
The lead would change hands several times and that's exciting
from there, and then Kimmy overtaking Leclair, while Norris and
Oscar Piastrian Verstappen all took turns at the front, separate
(06:32):
crashes for Isaac Hadger, Pierre Ghestlee. And meanwhile the safety
card deployed in the opening laps as well, ghastly at
the hands of the Kiwi assassin, Liam Lawson, drop.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
A get out of the way.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Hugly Lawson.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Ugly of Lawson.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
You're jealous?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
That up?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Quick up, here's mom little pick a lab Lawson, umglyam
Lawson putting up.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Excited yet the young kie we lost him the best
who is dating former Corona del mar C King Hannah
Saint John has become about as welcome as a turn
in a punch bowl when it comes to wheel the
wheel driving. This time it was the Frenchman gas lead
who was his victim, and once the safety car cleared,
(07:19):
it would prove to be a two horse battle between
Antonelli and Norris, with sprite like Lando staying on the
gearbox of the youngster during the later stages of the race,
but despite the constant pressure, the Italian teenager maintained his
composure to score his third victory of the campaign. Kimmy
becomes the first driver ever to convert their maiden three
(07:41):
pole positions into wins, and it's three Grand Prix victories
in a row to Kimmy Antonelli.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Jimmy Antonelli wins the Miami Gran Prix.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yes, whoo when what the race? What the race man?
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Whoo?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Oh my god, very shunting, very exciting. I could hear
the excited about the race. It was a bounce back
weekend for the McLaren team. Matt Lando crossed the line
a little over three seconds back for P two, while
Oscar took the final podium spot for the Papayas, snatching
P three from little Chuck Leclair, who spun on the
(08:21):
final lap under well worn boots, costing him a podium
and dropping him all the way down to sixth place
after being overtaken by Russell and mad Max at the
finish lin Sorry, Chuck, seems like the appropriate reaction. He
was well, you know, he spun out. He would have
been a podium. He was later hit with a twenty
(08:42):
second penalty post race for repeatedly cutting corners as he
desperately tried to keep his prancing horse on the track
for the final lap. Tough way to end it for
Little Chuck. His teammate Kim Kardashian's boyfriend Sir Lewis Alright, Hamilton.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Off got moss on the net.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Gala suffered Florida meage early in the race and would
coax his prancing horse around the fifty seven laps for p. Six,
A lot of pelvic floor damage on his girlfriend. Oh
all right, tonightke it too? The met oh God a
spacial outfit. Franco Colopino, You're a Colopinto would score valuable
(09:25):
points for Alpine in p. Seven and Little Chuck fell
all the way to p. Eight and the Williams of
Carlos Signs and Alex Albin would round out the top
ten with a double points finish for the team from Oxfordshire. Now,
in three weeks time, the Formula One circuit heads to
(09:46):
North America for the sports most historic and unpredictable weekend
the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, once attended by Sadie
Kates and Tina. The three weeks time tight championship battles
(10:07):
volatile weather and one of the most unforgiving tracks on
the calendar. The stage is set for a dramatic weekend
at the circuit Jill's Villeneuve. The circuit rewards bravery more
than perfection and who will be willing to lay it
all on the line? Long straits and heavy breaking zones
(10:28):
creating prime overtaking opportunities and to turn run while the
infamous Wall of Champions waits to punish even the smallest
mistake like Don Martin.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
So let's tell Rob you can't be too aggressive. You
gotta be aggressive enough, but not too aggressive.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Drivers have little margin for error on a semi street
circuit that combines old school risk with modern F one speed.
Montreal's layout has historically opened the door for surprises, especially
if rain arrived. Matt several teams are expected to arrive
in the Great White North with major upgrade packages as
the twenty twenty six development battle intensifies. The biggest focuses
(11:10):
on Mercedes. Despite winning early races in twenty twenty six,
Mercedes largely held back its first major yes their first
development package under the Miami Weekend, while the rivals aggressively
upgraded their cars and they won anyway. Team boss Total
Wolf indicated that Montreal's package is critical, with reports suggesting
(11:33):
Canada will feature their first substantial arrow overhaul.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah it's going to run on Maple, sirup, they got
this thing locked up.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
McLaren is also expected to bring another step forward after
its strong Miami performance. Multiple reports indicate the team still
has additional aero dynamic developments planned specifically for Canada, including
front wing refinements and further low drag upgrades suited for
Montreal's long strains. And as you know, Matt, we are
(12:06):
your home of front ring refinements. There is not even
a close second. We are the front wing refinement show
of rerex see.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
And I thought you were going to say, where the
long straight hairpin turn show off record.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Secondarily, yes, yes, those things have in order some form
of it. One thing we know we can count on
circuit Jills Villeneuve for.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Saw, No, I just hit a ground hog, could have
avoided it.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Was racing, That's right, Matt. The North American groundhog is
indigenous to Notre Dame Island. The fuzzy little foreigners are
known to frequently run across the circuit during racing action
and unfortunately meet their maker at the hands of F
one drivers like the former Canadian embarrassment Nick Letifian. Oh no, well,
(13:03):
Nikki has gone from the ranks of Formula one. That
doesn't mean as countrymen, the equally embarrassing Lance Stroll won't
take up the cause of exterminating the little fellas every
chance he gets while driving around the circuit. Oh, it's
so ridiculous. Ridiculous to you, the Lance, but not the groundhogs.
Expect wheel the wheel battles, aggressive overtakes and a good
(13:26):
possibility of chaos from lights out to checkered flag in
Montreal and possibly some of this. Yeah, we know the
groundhogs will be laying it all out on the line.
Will the drivers as well? And that is your F
one report Other California and we'll return to do some
(13:51):
Birthday of the Day and then off night Dodger Talk
featuring David Vasse and Alex Vesia as we discussed Thank
you for listening to this crunchy group. Thursday on the
Petrosen Money Show on AM five seventy LA Sports.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Petrol some Money Hanging five seventy ELA Sports Live Everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. Off day today for the Dodgers,
but tomorrow Big One. The Braves are in town for
a three gamer at Dodgers Stadium, coming off a two
out of three victory series against the Astros, p something
they needed desperately after the way that road trip started
in Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
And joining us right now on your Toyota SoCal Dealers
Celebrity Hotline is a great analyst and a former great player,
an All Star, a World Series champ with the Marlins.
He's soared with the Marlins, seventeen seasons in the Big leagues,
putting together a great career with the Expos, Fish, the
(15:01):
Red Sox, the Mets, the Cubs, the Rays, which is
a different kind of sea creature, and the Patras. You
see him now on your screen on the MLB Network
MLB Tonight. Nobody does a better job than Cliff Floyd.
And here, with a quarter of the season over, he
(15:21):
joins us to discuss some big national picture topics on
the Petrosen Money Show. What's cracking, Cliff? How are you
great to have you on? Oh man?
Speaker 4 (15:31):
All was good. I love the music, love the intro.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
You deserve it, Cliff, you know, I mean you take
time out of your day. We're not just gonna bring
you on and just pepper you like like, you know,
you deserve a little bit of a you know, a
little bit of fanfare on your way into the restaurant
before we sit you down and put the napkin on
your lap.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Tell us Cliff, you know, because we're the Dodger station here,
so obviously very spoiled. In the last two years have
been like a dream. And then there's a lot of
world series and a lot of great competition over the
last ten years. Uh, did you think the Dodgers start
would be like this? It always feels like, no matter
what the expectations are, they having up and down style road.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Yeah. Well, I didn't expect it to be like this.
I think everybody gave them one hundred and you know,
twenty wins. You know in spring training it was like, well,
their time and figured it out. Yeah, one forty you
know what I mean. So it's like there they'll take
their time and everybody will chill out and everybody just
you know, breathe a little bit. But if you look
(16:33):
at who they facing the ROLD Series Toronto, they're going
through it right. A lot happens when you have guys
on il Man and you guys have seen it. You
guys have probably not dealt with as much at versy
as some of these other teams. But somehow I know
that the Dodger has always been able to figure it
out on the flock. And this year, I'm not saying
(16:54):
they ain't going anywhere, because it seems like every time
they have something that you know, jumps off, it's like, well,
the Padres are behind them, but it feels like the
Padres are ten games always as opposed to two or
one and a half is for for some odd reason,
they just it's just a slow grind for them. But
you are missing some key pieces that you have to
keep an eye on, you know, as we jump into
(17:17):
May and like it's a long season, but you still
have to keep your eye on what's been going on
of late of just the I L and you have
some guys, you know on rehab assignments. That's coming back,
Snail being one, But can you get Mookie back? Can't
get these guys back and feel good about, you know,
moving forward and having these guys on the ross and
(17:38):
helping you win some ball games.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Is that just cliff kind of you know, early season
Freddy usually takes a second to get rolling mookies kind
of bag like or is that maybe a bigger like, Hey,
these guys are getting kind of old. These guys have
played a lot of baseball, and they've been to the
World Series and back to back years. Like, I don't know,
if you had to split it into percentages, is there
a higher percent into your concern that maybe these guys
(18:01):
are getting a little bit old and that's why that
bottom of the lineup with the young guys is producing
seemingly a little bit more now than the top Or
is it just kind of the way the season plays out.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Well, I think it's a little bit of both. Right,
So I'm not really ready to be like, yeah, these
guys are old because I look at certain teams, one
being probably of the Phillies are probably the oldest team
if I'm not mistaken, in the league. May they close
and if you look at the Phillies just until recently
they started bawling, like, I don't know what happens when
the older guys tend to take a little bit, you know,
(18:35):
more time, because you can have an excuse for the
Phillies it's cold and April so on and so forth.
It ain't cold in LA and they might be getting
a little older. But at some point you're gonna have
to utilize the youngsters. You're gonna the supporting cast dues
have to play and if you get that, if you
get that contribution, then everything kind of falls into place.
(18:58):
I of what Andy Pyez is right now, we talked
about this morning on the show. D Row went in
and depth and just his his his you know, masturbation,
his maturity and everything about what he's had it and
what he's done this season has been phenomenal to watch
after what he endured in the World Series right and
riding the bench, coming in for the greatest catch prior
(19:21):
of his career. But when you think about him and
where he's at, you don't need these dudes. And I'm
not saying I'm not giving them, you know, the the
you know, the crutch right now, I'm just saying until
the Padres are win that that division by ten games,
by winning that division by eight games ten games, I'm
(19:42):
I'm I'm sorry. I'm not ready to relinquish anything that
Dodds has done. Uh thus far?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
What do you make of kind of the way there?
You know, because it seems like it's a thing. It's
now happened more than once. Of not hitting Otani when
he's pitching.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Well, you know, Tani says it's not so I don't
know how you can't. At some point, right at least
with him, you have to say I'm gonna protect the
player from himself because he wants to do it. Now.
I know, a Tony can walk into the Austin and say, hey,
I'm kind of running the show and I'm not disrespecting
Dave Roberts by any means. But Otani is different. He's
(20:21):
one of one. I think you have to look at
the big picture. And I'll go back to what I say.
I mean, yes, he's incredible. Yes, the ability and all
everything we talk about with him is there. But don't
you have to protect him at some point from something
I think you do. That's just me as a former
(20:42):
player grinding in the cage, grinding, grinding, grinding, you know,
playing both sides of the ball as an outfit, or
maybe not getting one ball a game, maybe getting two
balls a game, not throwing, getting big lee hears out
and then trying to hit ninety five ninety six. When
you look at him, he don't look tired. But I
think you have to protect what we've seen in the
past from him. You know, he's going through to Tommy
(21:05):
John's like this is Yeah, I get it. People might
think that, oh, it'll be great if he wants a
young but is it about championships with sions? If you
ask him, I think he would say championships.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Cliff Floyd is our guest MLB Network. It's an interesting thing,
you say, Cliff, because Otani's pretty much signed up until
he's eighty years old. Uh. With the So what do
you think it's gonna look like? You know, in three
or four years, do you think there'll be a wall
that this guy hits. I mean, I remember back in
the day we were talking about Mike Trout might be
(21:39):
the greatest player ever, and certainly we're not having those
conversations anymore. And he was a guy who signed a
really long term deal. What do you think it's gonna happen?
What do you think it's gonna be like in a
few years.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Well, wall is coming. I don't know what you know,
if there's a big ones as a buzz, I don't
know what's happening. But you you have to as every player.
And I'm not even gonna mention Dwyane, you know, Dyne
down and like you know, coming to an end out.
What I'm saying is, how do we maximize what he
brings to that organization, you know, to the game of baseball?
(22:13):
How do you maximize that? I think durability is something
that I would I love talking about because I wasn't
the durable guy that I want to be. And when
you're not available, it's there. There's your answer, right like
I wasn't available enough to speak on Like, well you
(22:33):
gotta be. You know, you gotta post, you gotta post.
I commend dudes that post. I love dudes that go
out there and you can look at their track worker
and say, well he's posted for the last three four
years and one to fifty plus one fifty five plus.
I need that dude on my team. How do you
get that out of all the time, you know, for
me to watch that game consistently every night he pitches
(22:54):
when I'm up. You know, I'm fifty three years old
now and been out the game for a while. For
me to watch that game late a night on West Coast,
Oh tiny needs band lineup. I need to see him
playing none against the other dudes. But he's just a
difference maker like that. For me to watch that game
and watch what he's doing, and everybody's mentioned Unicorn and
all these things, and it's great. I think it's phenomenal. Yes,
(23:15):
he's going to the Hall of Fame. I think it's great.
But how do you maximize for that team moving forward?
If you want to throw in the contract, cool, how
do you get that? How do you get the best
out of that? And that's protecting him from some sort
of whatever it is, maybe not hitting as much, maybe
you know, every sixth day, maybe missing the start, whatever
(23:36):
it is. It's important to to you know, listen to
and it's important for Timey to be truthful to them
and say, hey man, I'm feeling a little you know,
you know, fatigue, you know, a dead arm, whatever case
may be. And if that's the case, then I know,
for a fact. Dave Robertson and the whole organization will
(23:57):
protect that, but he has to be truthful and making
sure that they stay on top of anything or everything
that happens for him moving forward, because he's that important
to not just their winning, but just the overall fan
base and what they mean, you know, what he means
to LA What.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Do you make of just kind of the because they've
showed patience with pie Has last year, right in the
playoffs he went through like a yeah, three for forty
five slump. But you know, we're watching Haysung Kim and
we're watching Alex Friedland and some of these young players,
and out here we're just so used to well, you
know they're going to be on that plane to Oklahoma City,
you know when so and so when Mookie gets back,
and saying there, like Kyle Hurd, he's going to be
(24:36):
gone when Snell gets back. Is what do you think
the balance is for the front office to try to
give these guys, these young players, as much rope as
they can and much opportunity as they can to prove
that they're everyday big leaguers while still kind of having
this older roster and feeling the need to, you know,
win every game and win a World Series. Is that
a tough thing to balance? And do you think they're
(24:56):
doing a good job of it.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
I do think they're doing good job of it. Is
it tough to balance, absolutely, because you do have these
guys coming back, and you know, I think the one
thing I've seen and dealt with or you know, of
course with twenty plus years, is too you won't be
the first definitely won't be the last that happened to
have going back to Oklahoma City or dealing with you know,
(25:19):
whether you're playing well and you might have to show
an end as a stick and have to go back
to Triple A for a little bit, you know, but
you always about leaving the last impression on that organization
to let them know that you can play at the
big league level. It's about consistency, or it's about understanding
the role that has changed for you as a player
when you get to the big leagues. Right, it's not
(25:41):
going to be the position that you came up with.
May it might it might be something totally different, and
you have to make that adjustment on the fly. So
I think when you look at these dudes getting you know,
an opportunity. One of the one of the best things.
One of the coaches says me a long time ago.
He was like, it's free. Like what you mean, it's free.
The opportunity is free. It's air and opportunity. Take advantage
(26:04):
of it. Don't put pressure on yourself. Play the game
you can, and Doc is watching the whole everybody's watching,
and you Freeman's watch. Everybody's watching. And it's about the
little things you bring to the team that's going to
take that team, you know, to the top. It's never
about the big things. If you bring the big things,
three homers, cool, that's cool. But if you can make
(26:25):
a play, if you can get that precious out that
you need, if you can do some of the little things,
then you're always being the hunt of being on, you know,
on that roster, you know, when when when time b
towards the postseason. That to me is how you establish
yourself as a youngster, especially on really good teams, on
teams that are just you know, fighting for you know,
(26:45):
just to stay above water, stay above five hundred, so
that the opportunity is going to last for one hundred
and fifty plus games. You're going to get the ride
out and get your feet up onder you. You don't
get that luxury on good teams at times. So I
think Doc and those guys have done a good job
of just you know, allowed these dudes to play their games,
get their feet wet a little bit, and then say, hey,
you know what's coming, so just prepare yourself for this.
(27:08):
But give me what you've got right now, and I
guarantee your time of come and get the great.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Cliff Floyd is our guest from the MLB Network. Before
we let you go, Cliff got to ask you, you know, Dodgers,
notwithstanding I know the Mets are terrible and Philly's old.
Like you said, the Braves are coming to town. They've
been good. What's been the biggest surprise to you in
the first quarter of the season here?
Speaker 4 (27:33):
So you know what, I love a lot of teams
that are that are fighting right. I mean, it's it's
just when you look at the Oakland you know they're coming. Well,
I say, Sacramento ads, I'll get caught up every once
in a while call Oakland, but the Sacramento, Uh. I
am surprised by the Cubs and what they've been able
to do without having starting pitching right when you lose
(27:55):
a cade Horton, a Justice Steele. You know, now, Matthew Boyd,
you have a revamped bullpen and you're doing what you're
doing the last three days to the cistin I res
who are real in my opinion that that is phenomenal.
I mean, listen, I expected the Cubs to probably win
that in L Central, but the duel without pitching, and
(28:16):
I've always said, if you don't have pitching, you're probably
gonna come up last. They've sought me. But I think
in L Central is one division. While I'm looking at
going Wow, I inspect all these teams will be five
hundred above.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
He's the best.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Should we get him a couple times a year, and
we're better for it. Our listeners can revel in the
Baseball Conversation seventeen seasons in the Big League's World Series Champion.

Talk with Alex Vesia from the big event today in Downy.
And speaking of Downy, one week from Friday, Matt and
I will be in beautiful Downy, California at the BJS
for a big time show a week from tomorrow at
two of We're gonna have a heck of a time
(30:02):
in Downy and you are required to be there as
a Petros and Money showed listener.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Three and a half hours. It's gonna be a hell
of a blowout. Will there be pre worn clothing given out?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Probably? Yes, Yeah, I can arrange for that.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Will there be BJ's restaurant and brew house gift cards?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Most definitely absolutely Dodger tickets, I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
No doubt about it. Dodger tickets, so plenty of giveaways
and of course three and a half hours of us
enjoying each other's company. What's the theme again? Is it
shaved legs and speedos? Is that what we're going with?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
No, Matt, I haven't figured it out yet, but it's
certainly not shaved legs and speedos, which I don't think
has ever been considered. And I don't think we'd make
it too far down the street and downy some of
the places we go. Perhaps, but I don't think we'd
make it too far down the street and Downey walking
around like that. No, probably not. Yeah, it'd be like
Joe Burrow, the gay door man walking around the mat.
(31:01):
All right, man, you got the dead guy birthday other day,
I do.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
We're gonna go with Edwin Herbert land Edward Herbert LANDA.
I'm old and those that are old like me and
our perverts like me can relate to this.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Today.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
The kids and beyond the kids, they send the snaps
or they send the texts with their d picts with
their boobs boobling. Hey, I like you check out my junk.
Here it is in a text that I just sent
you a picture of my junk. That's what they do well.
Back in the day, you couldn't take the photo of
(31:39):
your poots. Take the film to the freaking photo Matt,
have some weirdo develop it, and then get your photo
of your boots and then give it to the check
you wanted to send a pool. You could technically, but
you weren't gonna.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
They're probably gonna save it, make copies of the photo man.
And now that guy's got your boots too.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
But our man Eddie, our man Eddie made that connect possible,
all right. He's the guy with his polaroid pictures that
allowed you to take naked photos of yourself or your
lady and keep them in that secret place. Maybe it
was taped to the underside of your nightstand or nestled
in one of your favorite books that you knew your
parents would never flip through the pages sitting there on
(32:19):
your bookshelf. That's what Edwin Herbert Land did. He created
the polaroid picture, and man, there was so much hope
and possibilities that you had with your high school relationships
and college relationships before the text photo thanks to this
(32:39):
man born in Bridgeport, Connecticut parents Ukraine immigrants. He was
a fidgetter, would take apart anything and everything in the house,
clock appliances, put them back together, their brand new gramophone.
And when Pop saw that, he said, all right, your
talented kid. Put them into the gifted classes. And he
ended up going to Harvard and he's one of these guys.
They get to Harvard and he's like, h too smart
(33:03):
for you. So he left after his freshman year, moved
to the big town, worked odd jobs to make money,
and then at night would sneak in to the laboratory
at Columbia University use their equipment, where he invented the
first inexpensive filters capable of polarizing light. He called it
polaroid film. He realized he could manufacture a film with
(33:25):
millions of micron sized polarizing crystals coaxed into perfect alignment
with each other. So when he's twenty two years old,
he goes back to Harvard asks his physics professor, who
had some scratch, can you finance me here? Let's start
the land Wheelwright laboratory and they commercialize polarizing technology. As
(33:47):
you would imagine back then it wasn't VC, but it
was going to Wall Street and showing what you had.
So he got a bunch of money. They renamed the
company Polaroid Corporation in thirty seven, and really it was sunglasses.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah, that polaride sunglass.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Yeah, the polarize, the polaroid sunglasses, the polarized.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I've been a proponent of polaroid sunglasses because they are
the first polarized sunglasses ever invented.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
And that invented by this man where he made his money.
That then also applied to film that would help with brightness.
It was a fount sunglass.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
You could per out, but not as much as you
can the camera. Right.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
World War two greatest generation Land was a big part
of the military. He developed dark adaptation goggles, target finders,
the first passively guided smart bomb, special stereoscopic viewing systems,
the vector graft, which revealed camouflaged enemy positions in aerial photography.
He was a big freaking deal. But it was a
(34:47):
vacation in Santa Fe, New Mexico with his three year
old daughter. He snapped the photo of her and she said,
when can I see the photo? And that planted the seed?
Why don't we have instant film cameras. So after the trip,
research and development files for the patent, figured it out
in about three years. How dedicated was he to the
polaroid camera. He was in his lab for eighteen consecutive days,
(35:12):
wearing the same clothes, having people bring food into him.
When he thought he was right on the cusp of
figuring it out, he did, And of course he demonstrated
his instant camera in nineteen forty seven it was available commercially.
Fifty seven were manufactured. They sold out the first day.
He was part of the Utube program, Corona and Samos
(35:33):
Photographic Satellite program, an advisor to Dwight D. Eisenhower, more
than just a scientist, a real American, an American that
helped the cause and helped pervy kids before the advent
of the camera phone. You led with the PERV and
you finished with the perse Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
But isn't there you know the American cause that's right
and sign glad.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
But ultimately, yeah, you've got a polaroid as some chick
naked when you were in high school and a holy crap,
you where.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Were the girls streaked the quad in Peninsula High early
in my career there, well yeah, I mean there were
a lot of film developed. There was even a guy
running around with a video camera and a child was
smashed up against defense. I mean we got ugly. It
was a stampede.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Maybe was a big deal when we were young. You
could You couldn't just open your phone and have boobs boobling.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
That, and you would get tired of looking at a photo.
People don't get tired of looking at their phone. It
seems beating out Bill Krutzman and the great Irish singer
Christy Moore is Australian News.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
It's Kid and this is Petros and Money's Australian News.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
This man would have been eighty three years old today.
Peter Carry, now living in New York City, one of
only five riders who's won the Booker Prize for Fiction twice,
from a town in Victoria, Australia. He got a science
degree at Monash University. Their mascot Dayton the robot Okay Science.
(37:09):
He worked in Melbourne in advertising. He met writers and
he worked on advertising campaigns and he thought he'd try
his own luck at writing a novel. He has written
now over a dozen novels and good ones. Oscar and
Lucinda won the Booker Prize and became a movie with
(37:32):
Ray Fines and Kate Blanchette, story of an American priest
and an Australian heiress who loved to play cards. It
was a good movie. It's a great book. He did
Jack Mags, a reworking of The Great Expectations. That's you know,
you don't just rework that, Matt, you know, it's like
(37:52):
trying to do Peter Gabriel for the alive guy. You know,
that's a real undertake. He did The True History of
the Kelly Gang, which also won the Booker Prize the
Ned Kelly historical fiction work, and that became a big
movie as well. In two thousand and nine, I read
his book Parrot and Oliver in America, which was an
(38:15):
inspiration of the life of Alexis to Tolkville, who was
an aristocratic guy, a European dude who visited our country
in the eighteen thirties and wrote about his reflections. Very
good book two thousand and nine. Love That. Lots of
great nonfiction as well, and short stories. He did a
(38:36):
rock musical. He wrote the screenplay Till the End of
the World with whim Wenders, or, as Matt likes to say,
Vin Vendors you you inventd us many honorary degrees in
the Order of Australia.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
I like a good rock opera.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
He's got like an Australian knighthood. He is a great writer.
When he wrote that book Jack Maggs, the Queen asked
him to come and see her, but he snubbed her
because he was tired and he didn't want to travel.
And he did eventually meet the Queen and the Queen
did not forget. She said, you had some trouble getting
(39:12):
here the first time, did you not?
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Whoa I'll come see oh mass schedule.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
That stung him. He's lived in New York for thirty years,
married three times, ugly divorce from the second wife. She said,
you divorced me and then you used the material of
the divorce to write a book. He said, you're right,
it's great material. A fine writer, Peter Carey out of Australia.
I don't know if there's a better Australian writer. I'd
(39:40):
venture to say there's probably not. There is stupid people.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
I mean, what about the lyrics to like silver chairs.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Right, No, I mean you know, yeah, but you know
this guy's a you know, the novelist bows when the
poet walks by. Matt Maybe you're right, but who can
forget you know, some of the great Rick Springfield. Later.

On this day in the year seventeen eighteen, the city
of New Orleans was founded.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Did you know?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Poker as we know it was invented in New Orleans,
Originating in the late eighteenth century, It became widespread thanks
to respected English actor Joseph Cowell reporting that he played
a game that he called the most interesting card game
he ever did. Play twenty cards, five apiece to four
(02:30):
players and a round of bets on which hand was
the most valuable? Poker became widespread in New Orleans was
its home?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Ronnie really relates to New Orleans as a French city.
I go further back and relate with it more of
a Spanish Spanish harbor town.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
That might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
That's right, No matter's way I do relate to it
is French. You know, in the streets there's the French name,
and then there's the old Spanish name, and I usually
use the Spanish name that is Guya. This shrimp heead
all right, It's time for the F one report Formula
(03:16):
one man. It's return this past weekend after a five
week hiatus with the cancelation of the races in Bahrain
and Saudi Arabia. El Bambino. Kimmy Antonelli continued his stunning
start to twenty twenty six with his third win in
four Grand Prix as he secured a sensational victory in Miami.
(03:38):
Kimmy delivered his finest all around performance of his sophomore season,
recording his third consecutive pole position to go with the
Grand Prix win. On Sunday. It was a complete performance
for Kimmy, the youngest driver on the Formula One grid.
He had to overcome several challenges going into the weekend,
including a schedule change on Sunday that saw the start
(04:00):
of the Grand Prix moved up by three hours to
avoid heavy rainstorms. How about that? How about that? Yeah,
rainstorms forecasting in Miami later that afternoon and they moved
up the race three hours. Would they do that with
a football game? They wouldn't do it for a baseball
game either. Caught me by surprise. Came home, I was like,
what the hell? Yeah, names damn near over. Some rain
(04:23):
did fall Sunday morning, the wet conditions abated for most
of the race and under cloudy conditions, the nineteen year
old Ita Loo from Bologna delivered an impressive performance. Impressive,
matt impressive because although he was on pole riding the D.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I like being on the pool.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, you ride the D every day. He relinquished the
lead once again on the rundown to turn one, something
he has done every time this season that he's been
on pole. But the Bambino did not panic. He did
not crack easy under pressure. He survived usual carnage on
lap one, which included a full three hundred and sixty
(05:04):
degree spin by the lustful Danish Prince Max for stopping Kimmy,
who had the quickest car all weekend, kept his cool
and fought his way back to the front, eventually getting
past reigning world champions sprite like Lando Norris and completely
outperforming his teammate, the curiously odd looking George Russell. Russell
(05:25):
who admitted on Saturday that the Miami circuit was not
his favorite on the calendar, and he lived up to
that remark on Sunday. He was half a second slower
than his teenage teammate all weekend. He has now failed
to make the podium in two successive races, finishing fourth
in Miami in a car that was evidently quick enough
(05:47):
to win the Grand Prix. What's up, George? He finished
forty three seconds behind Antonelli and has three weeks to
reassert himself as the number one driver for the Mercedes
team when they reconvene in Montreal. The odd looking George
now trails his teammate by twenty points at the top
of the Driver's Championship, and when the red lights went out,
(06:08):
a dramatic start ensued. Kimmy faced a three way scrap
alongside Mad Max and Little Chuck Leclair before both the
Mercedes and Red Bull cars locked up into the first corner.
The lead would change hands several times and that's exciting
from there, and then Kimmy overtaking Leclair, while Norris and
Oscar Piastrian Verstappen all took turns at the front, separate
(06:32):
crashes for Isaac Hadger, Pierre Ghestlee. And meanwhile the safety
card deployed in the opening laps as well, ghastly at
the hands of the Kiwi assassin, Liam Lawson, drop.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
A get out of the way.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Hugly Lawson.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Ugly of Lawson.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
You're jealous?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
That up?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Quick up, here's mom little pick a lab Lawson, umglyam
Lawson putting up.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Excited yet the young kie we lost him the best
who is dating former Corona del mar C King Hannah
Saint John has become about as welcome as a turn
in a punch bowl when it comes to wheel the
wheel driving. This time it was the Frenchman gas lead
who was his victim, and once the safety car cleared,
(07:19):
it would prove to be a two horse battle between
Antonelli and Norris, with sprite like Lando staying on the
gearbox of the youngster during the later stages of the race,
but despite the constant pressure, the Italian teenager maintained his
composure to score his third victory of the campaign. Kimmy
becomes the first driver ever to convert their maiden three
(07:41):
pole positions into wins, and it's three Grand Prix victories
in a row to Kimmy Antonelli.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Jimmy Antonelli wins the Miami Gran Prix.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yes, whoo when what the race? What the race man?
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Whoo?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Oh my god, very shunting, very exciting. I could hear
the excited about the race. It was a bounce back
weekend for the McLaren team. Matt Lando crossed the line
a little over three seconds back for P two, while
Oscar took the final podium spot for the Papayas, snatching
P three from little Chuck Leclair, who spun on the
(08:21):
final lap under well worn boots, costing him a podium
and dropping him all the way down to sixth place
after being overtaken by Russell and mad Max at the
finish lin Sorry, Chuck, seems like the appropriate reaction. He
was well, you know, he spun out. He would have
been a podium. He was later hit with a twenty
(08:42):
second penalty post race for repeatedly cutting corners as he
desperately tried to keep his prancing horse on the track
for the final lap. Tough way to end it for
Little Chuck. His teammate Kim Kardashian's boyfriend Sir Lewis Alright, Hamilton.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Off got moss on the net.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Gala suffered Florida meage early in the race and would
coax his prancing horse around the fifty seven laps for p. Six,
A lot of pelvic floor damage on his girlfriend. Oh
all right, tonightke it too? The met oh God a
spacial outfit. Franco Colopino, You're a Colopinto would score valuable
(09:25):
points for Alpine in p. Seven and Little Chuck fell
all the way to p. Eight and the Williams of
Carlos Signs and Alex Albin would round out the top
ten with a double points finish for the team from Oxfordshire. Now,
in three weeks time, the Formula One circuit heads to
(09:46):
North America for the sports most historic and unpredictable weekend
the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, once attended by Sadie
Kates and Tina. The three weeks time tight championship battles
(10:07):
volatile weather and one of the most unforgiving tracks on
the calendar. The stage is set for a dramatic weekend
at the circuit Jill's Villeneuve. The circuit rewards bravery more
than perfection and who will be willing to lay it
all on the line? Long straits and heavy breaking zones
(10:28):
creating prime overtaking opportunities and to turn run while the
infamous Wall of Champions waits to punish even the smallest
mistake like Don Martin.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
So let's tell Rob you can't be too aggressive. You
gotta be aggressive enough, but not too aggressive.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Drivers have little margin for error on a semi street
circuit that combines old school risk with modern F one speed.
Montreal's layout has historically opened the door for surprises, especially
if rain arrived. Matt several teams are expected to arrive
in the Great White North with major upgrade packages as
the twenty twenty six development battle intensifies. The biggest focuses
(11:10):
on Mercedes. Despite winning early races in twenty twenty six,
Mercedes largely held back its first major yes their first
development package under the Miami Weekend, while the rivals aggressively
upgraded their cars and they won anyway. Team boss Total
Wolf indicated that Montreal's package is critical, with reports suggesting
(11:33):
Canada will feature their first substantial arrow overhaul.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah it's going to run on Maple, sirup, they got
this thing locked up.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
McLaren is also expected to bring another step forward after
its strong Miami performance. Multiple reports indicate the team still
has additional aero dynamic developments planned specifically for Canada, including
front wing refinements and further low drag upgrades suited for
Montreal's long strains. And as you know, Matt, we are
(12:06):
your home of front ring refinements. There is not even
a close second. We are the front wing refinement show
of rerex see.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
And I thought you were going to say, where the
long straight hairpin turn show off record.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Secondarily, yes, yes, those things have in order some form
of it. One thing we know we can count on
circuit Jills Villeneuve for.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Saw, No, I just hit a ground hog, could have
avoided it.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Was racing, That's right, Matt. The North American groundhog is
indigenous to Notre Dame Island. The fuzzy little foreigners are
known to frequently run across the circuit during racing action
and unfortunately meet their maker at the hands of F
one drivers like the former Canadian embarrassment Nick Letifian. Oh no, well,
(13:03):
Nikki has gone from the ranks of Formula one. That
doesn't mean as countrymen, the equally embarrassing Lance Stroll won't
take up the cause of exterminating the little fellas every
chance he gets while driving around the circuit. Oh, it's
so ridiculous. Ridiculous to you, the Lance, but not the groundhogs.
Expect wheel the wheel battles, aggressive overtakes and a good
(13:26):
possibility of chaos from lights out to checkered flag in
Montreal and possibly some of this. Yeah, we know the
groundhogs will be laying it all out on the line.
Will the drivers as well? And that is your F
one report Other California and we'll return to do some
(13:51):
Birthday of the Day and then off night Dodger Talk

a three gamer at Dodgers Stadium, coming off a two
out of three victory series against the Astros, p something
they needed desperately after the way that road trip started
in Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
And joining us right now on your Toyota SoCal Dealers
Celebrity Hotline is a great analyst and a former great player,
an All Star, a World Series champ with the Marlins.
He's soared with the Marlins, seventeen seasons in the Big leagues,
putting together a great career with the Expos, Fish, the
(15:01):
Red Sox, the Mets, the Cubs, the Rays, which is
a different kind of sea creature, and the Patras. You
see him now on your screen on the MLB Network
MLB Tonight. Nobody does a better job than Cliff Floyd.
And here, with a quarter of the season over, he
(15:21):
joins us to discuss some big national picture topics on
the Petrosen Money Show. What's cracking, Cliff? How are you
great to have you on? Oh man?
Speaker 4 (15:31):
All was good. I love the music, love the intro.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
You deserve it, Cliff, you know, I mean you take
time out of your day. We're not just gonna bring
you on and just pepper you like like, you know,
you deserve a little bit of a you know, a
little bit of fanfare on your way into the restaurant
before we sit you down and put the napkin on
your lap.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Tell us Cliff, you know, because we're the Dodger station here,
so obviously very spoiled. In the last two years have
been like a dream. And then there's a lot of
world series and a lot of great competition over the
last ten years. Uh, did you think the Dodgers start
would be like this? It always feels like, no matter
what the expectations are, they having up and down style road.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Yeah. Well, I didn't expect it to be like this.
I think everybody gave them one hundred and you know,
twenty wins. You know in spring training it was like, well,
their time and figured it out. Yeah, one forty you
know what I mean. So it's like there they'll take
their time and everybody will chill out and everybody just
you know, breathe a little bit. But if you look
(16:33):
at who they facing the ROLD Series Toronto, they're going
through it right. A lot happens when you have guys
on il Man and you guys have seen it. You
guys have probably not dealt with as much at versy
as some of these other teams. But somehow I know
that the Dodger has always been able to figure it
out on the flock. And this year, I'm not saying
(16:54):
they ain't going anywhere, because it seems like every time
they have something that you know, jumps off, it's like, well,
the Padres are behind them, but it feels like the
Padres are ten games always as opposed to two or
one and a half is for for some odd reason,
they just it's just a slow grind for them. But
you are missing some key pieces that you have to
keep an eye on, you know, as we jump into
(17:17):
May and like it's a long season, but you still
have to keep your eye on what's been going on
of late of just the I L and you have
some guys, you know on rehab assignments. That's coming back,
Snail being one, But can you get Mookie back? Can't
get these guys back and feel good about, you know,
moving forward and having these guys on the ross and
(17:38):
helping you win some ball games.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Is that just cliff kind of you know, early season
Freddy usually takes a second to get rolling mookies kind
of bag like or is that maybe a bigger like, Hey,
these guys are getting kind of old. These guys have
played a lot of baseball, and they've been to the
World Series and back to back years. Like, I don't know,
if you had to split it into percentages, is there
a higher percent into your concern that maybe these guys
(18:01):
are getting a little bit old and that's why that
bottom of the lineup with the young guys is producing
seemingly a little bit more now than the top Or
is it just kind of the way the season plays out.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Well, I think it's a little bit of both. Right,
So I'm not really ready to be like, yeah, these
guys are old because I look at certain teams, one
being probably of the Phillies are probably the oldest team
if I'm not mistaken, in the league. May they close
and if you look at the Phillies just until recently
they started bawling, like, I don't know what happens when
the older guys tend to take a little bit, you know,
(18:35):
more time, because you can have an excuse for the
Phillies it's cold and April so on and so forth.
It ain't cold in LA and they might be getting
a little older. But at some point you're gonna have
to utilize the youngsters. You're gonna the supporting cast dues
have to play and if you get that, if you
get that contribution, then everything kind of falls into place.
(18:58):
I of what Andy Pyez is right now, we talked
about this morning on the show. D Row went in
and depth and just his his his you know, masturbation,
his maturity and everything about what he's had it and
what he's done this season has been phenomenal to watch
after what he endured in the World Series right and
riding the bench, coming in for the greatest catch prior
(19:21):
of his career. But when you think about him and
where he's at, you don't need these dudes. And I'm
not saying I'm not giving them, you know, the the
you know, the crutch right now, I'm just saying until
the Padres are win that that division by ten games,
by winning that division by eight games ten games, I'm
(19:42):
I'm I'm sorry. I'm not ready to relinquish anything that
Dodds has done. Uh thus far?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
What do you make of kind of the way there?
You know, because it seems like it's a thing. It's
now happened more than once. Of not hitting Otani when
he's pitching.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Well, you know, Tani says it's not so I don't
know how you can't. At some point, right at least
with him, you have to say I'm gonna protect the
player from himself because he wants to do it. Now.
I know, a Tony can walk into the Austin and say, hey,
I'm kind of running the show and I'm not disrespecting
Dave Roberts by any means. But Otani is different. He's
(20:21):
one of one. I think you have to look at
the big picture. And I'll go back to what I say.
I mean, yes, he's incredible. Yes, the ability and all
everything we talk about with him is there. But don't
you have to protect him at some point from something
I think you do. That's just me as a former
(20:42):
player grinding in the cage, grinding, grinding, grinding, you know,
playing both sides of the ball as an outfit, or
maybe not getting one ball a game, maybe getting two
balls a game, not throwing, getting big lee hears out
and then trying to hit ninety five ninety six. When
you look at him, he don't look tired. But I
think you have to protect what we've seen in the
past from him. You know, he's going through to Tommy
(21:05):
John's like this is Yeah, I get it. People might
think that, oh, it'll be great if he wants a
young but is it about championships with sions? If you
ask him, I think he would say championships.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Cliff Floyd is our guest MLB Network. It's an interesting thing,
you say, Cliff, because Otani's pretty much signed up until
he's eighty years old. Uh. With the So what do
you think it's gonna look like? You know, in three
or four years, do you think there'll be a wall
that this guy hits. I mean, I remember back in
the day we were talking about Mike Trout might be
(21:39):
the greatest player ever, and certainly we're not having those
conversations anymore. And he was a guy who signed a
really long term deal. What do you think it's gonna happen?
What do you think it's gonna be like in a
few years.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Well, wall is coming. I don't know what you know,
if there's a big ones as a buzz, I don't
know what's happening. But you you have to as every player.
And I'm not even gonna mention Dwyane, you know, Dyne
down and like you know, coming to an end out.
What I'm saying is, how do we maximize what he
brings to that organization, you know, to the game of baseball?
(22:13):
How do you maximize that? I think durability is something
that I would I love talking about because I wasn't
the durable guy that I want to be. And when
you're not available, it's there. There's your answer, right like
I wasn't available enough to speak on Like, well you
(22:33):
gotta be. You know, you gotta post, you gotta post.
I commend dudes that post. I love dudes that go
out there and you can look at their track worker
and say, well he's posted for the last three four
years and one to fifty plus one fifty five plus.
I need that dude on my team. How do you
get that out of all the time, you know, for
me to watch that game consistently every night he pitches
(22:54):
when I'm up. You know, I'm fifty three years old
now and been out the game for a while. For
me to watch that game late a night on West Coast,
Oh tiny needs band lineup. I need to see him
playing none against the other dudes. But he's just a
difference maker like that. For me to watch that game
and watch what he's doing, and everybody's mentioned Unicorn and
all these things, and it's great. I think it's phenomenal. Yes,
(23:15):
he's going to the Hall of Fame. I think it's great.
But how do you maximize for that team moving forward?
If you want to throw in the contract, cool, how
do you get that? How do you get the best
out of that? And that's protecting him from some sort
of whatever it is, maybe not hitting as much, maybe
you know, every sixth day, maybe missing the start, whatever
(23:36):
it is. It's important to to you know, listen to
and it's important for Timey to be truthful to them
and say, hey man, I'm feeling a little you know,
you know, fatigue, you know, a dead arm, whatever case
may be. And if that's the case, then I know,
for a fact. Dave Robertson and the whole organization will
(23:57):
protect that, but he has to be truthful and making
sure that they stay on top of anything or everything
that happens for him moving forward, because he's that important
to not just their winning, but just the overall fan
base and what they mean, you know, what he means
to LA What.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Do you make of just kind of the because they've
showed patience with pie Has last year, right in the
playoffs he went through like a yeah, three for forty
five slump. But you know, we're watching Haysung Kim and
we're watching Alex Friedland and some of these young players,
and out here we're just so used to well, you
know they're going to be on that plane to Oklahoma City,
you know when so and so when Mookie gets back,
and saying there, like Kyle Hurd, he's going to be
(24:36):
gone when Snell gets back. Is what do you think
the balance is for the front office to try to
give these guys, these young players, as much rope as
they can and much opportunity as they can to prove
that they're everyday big leaguers while still kind of having
this older roster and feeling the need to, you know,
win every game and win a World Series. Is that
a tough thing to balance? And do you think they're
(24:56):
doing a good job of it.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
I do think they're doing good job of it. Is
it tough to balance, absolutely, because you do have these
guys coming back, and you know, I think the one
thing I've seen and dealt with or you know, of
course with twenty plus years, is too you won't be
the first definitely won't be the last that happened to
have going back to Oklahoma City or dealing with you know,
(25:19):
whether you're playing well and you might have to show
an end as a stick and have to go back
to Triple A for a little bit, you know, but
you always about leaving the last impression on that organization
to let them know that you can play at the
big league level. It's about consistency, or it's about understanding
the role that has changed for you as a player
when you get to the big leagues. Right, it's not
(25:41):
going to be the position that you came up with.
May it might it might be something totally different, and
you have to make that adjustment on the fly. So
I think when you look at these dudes getting you know,
an opportunity. One of the one of the best things.
One of the coaches says me a long time ago.
He was like, it's free. Like what you mean, it's free.
The opportunity is free. It's air and opportunity. Take advantage
(26:04):
of it. Don't put pressure on yourself. Play the game
you can, and Doc is watching the whole everybody's watching,
and you Freeman's watch. Everybody's watching. And it's about the
little things you bring to the team that's going to
take that team, you know, to the top. It's never
about the big things. If you bring the big things,
three homers, cool, that's cool. But if you can make
(26:25):
a play, if you can get that precious out that
you need, if you can do some of the little things,
then you're always being the hunt of being on, you know,
on that roster, you know, when when when time b
towards the postseason. That to me is how you establish
yourself as a youngster, especially on really good teams, on
teams that are just you know, fighting for you know,
(26:45):
just to stay above water, stay above five hundred, so
that the opportunity is going to last for one hundred
and fifty plus games. You're going to get the ride
out and get your feet up onder you. You don't
get that luxury on good teams at times. So I
think Doc and those guys have done a good job
of just you know, allowed these dudes to play their games,
get their feet wet a little bit, and then say, hey,
you know what's coming, so just prepare yourself for this.
(27:08):
But give me what you've got right now, and I
guarantee your time of come and get the great.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Cliff Floyd is our guest from the MLB Network. Before
we let you go, Cliff got to ask you, you know, Dodgers,
notwithstanding I know the Mets are terrible and Philly's old.
Like you said, the Braves are coming to town. They've
been good. What's been the biggest surprise to you in
the first quarter of the season here?
Speaker 4 (27:33):
So you know what, I love a lot of teams
that are that are fighting right. I mean, it's it's
just when you look at the Oakland you know they're coming. Well,
I say, Sacramento ads, I'll get caught up every once
in a while call Oakland, but the Sacramento, Uh. I
am surprised by the Cubs and what they've been able
to do without having starting pitching right when you lose
(27:55):
a cade Horton, a Justice Steele. You know, now, Matthew Boyd,
you have a revamped bullpen and you're doing what you're
doing the last three days to the cistin I res
who are real in my opinion that that is phenomenal.
I mean, listen, I expected the Cubs to probably win
that in L Central, but the duel without pitching, and
(28:16):
I've always said, if you don't have pitching, you're probably
gonna come up last. They've sought me. But I think
in L Central is one division. While I'm looking at
going Wow, I inspect all these teams will be five
hundred above.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
He's the best.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Should we get him a couple times a year, and
we're better for it. Our listeners can revel in the
Baseball Conversation seventeen seasons in the Big League's World Series Champion.
You watch them on MLB Network. We love mb Tonight
and we love chatting with the guys that make that
show as great as it is here on the Home
of the Dodgers. Cliff, we appreciate it, have a great one,
and we look forward to talking again soon, no.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Doubt, Fos, thanks for having me there.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
We go Cliff Floyd and we will be right back
with more Petros and Money on AM five Sex the
LA Sports, your home of the Dodgers. Off Night Dodger

I will be in beautiful Downy, California at the BJS
for a big time show a week from tomorrow at
two of We're gonna have a heck of a time
(30:02):
in Downy and you are required to be there as
a Petros and Money showed listener.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Three and a half hours. It's gonna be a hell
of a blowout. Will there be pre worn clothing given out?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Probably? Yes, Yeah, I can arrange for that.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Will there be BJ's restaurant and brew house gift cards?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Most definitely absolutely Dodger tickets, I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
No doubt about it. Dodger tickets, so plenty of giveaways
and of course three and a half hours of us
enjoying each other's company. What's the theme again? Is it
shaved legs and speedos? Is that what we're going with?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
No, Matt, I haven't figured it out yet, but it's
certainly not shaved legs and speedos, which I don't think
has ever been considered. And I don't think we'd make
it too far down the street and downy some of
the places we go. Perhaps, but I don't think we'd
make it too far down the street and Downey walking
around like that. No, probably not. Yeah, it'd be like
Joe Burrow, the gay door man walking around the mat.
(31:01):
All right, man, you got the dead guy birthday other day,
I do.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
We're gonna go with Edwin Herbert land Edward Herbert LANDA.
I'm old and those that are old like me and
our perverts like me can relate to this.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Today.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
The kids and beyond the kids, they send the snaps
or they send the texts with their d picts with
their boobs boobling. Hey, I like you check out my junk.
Here it is in a text that I just sent
you a picture of my junk. That's what they do well.
Back in the day, you couldn't take the photo of
(31:39):
your poots. Take the film to the freaking photo Matt,
have some weirdo develop it, and then get your photo
of your boots and then give it to the check
you wanted to send a pool. You could technically, but
you weren't gonna.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
They're probably gonna save it, make copies of the photo man.
And now that guy's got your boots too.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
But our man Eddie, our man Eddie made that connect possible,
all right. He's the guy with his polaroid pictures that
allowed you to take naked photos of yourself or your
lady and keep them in that secret place. Maybe it
was taped to the underside of your nightstand or nestled
in one of your favorite books that you knew your
parents would never flip through the pages sitting there on
(32:19):
your bookshelf. That's what Edwin Herbert Land did. He created
the polaroid picture, and man, there was so much hope
and possibilities that you had with your high school relationships
and college relationships before the text photo thanks to this
(32:39):
man born in Bridgeport, Connecticut parents Ukraine immigrants. He was
a fidgetter, would take apart anything and everything in the house,
clock appliances, put them back together, their brand new gramophone.
And when Pop saw that, he said, all right, your
talented kid. Put them into the gifted classes. And he
ended up going to Harvard and he's one of these guys.
They get to Harvard and he's like, h too smart
(33:03):
for you. So he left after his freshman year, moved
to the big town, worked odd jobs to make money,
and then at night would sneak in to the laboratory
at Columbia University use their equipment, where he invented the
first inexpensive filters capable of polarizing light. He called it
polaroid film. He realized he could manufacture a film with
(33:25):
millions of micron sized polarizing crystals coaxed into perfect alignment
with each other. So when he's twenty two years old,
he goes back to Harvard asks his physics professor, who
had some scratch, can you finance me here? Let's start
the land Wheelwright laboratory and they commercialize polarizing technology. As
(33:47):
you would imagine back then it wasn't VC, but it
was going to Wall Street and showing what you had.
So he got a bunch of money. They renamed the
company Polaroid Corporation in thirty seven, and really it was sunglasses.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah, that polaride sunglass.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Yeah, the polarize, the polaroid sunglasses, the polarized.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I've been a proponent of polaroid sunglasses because they are
the first polarized sunglasses ever invented.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
And that invented by this man where he made his money.
That then also applied to film that would help with brightness.
It was a fount sunglass.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
You could per out, but not as much as you
can the camera. Right.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
World War two greatest generation Land was a big part
of the military. He developed dark adaptation goggles, target finders,
the first passively guided smart bomb, special stereoscopic viewing systems,
the vector graft, which revealed camouflaged enemy positions in aerial photography.
He was a big freaking deal. But it was a
(34:47):
vacation in Santa Fe, New Mexico with his three year
old daughter. He snapped the photo of her and she said,
when can I see the photo? And that planted the seed?
Why don't we have instant film cameras. So after the trip,
research and development files for the patent, figured it out
in about three years. How dedicated was he to the
polaroid camera. He was in his lab for eighteen consecutive days,
(35:12):
wearing the same clothes, having people bring food into him.
When he thought he was right on the cusp of
figuring it out, he did, And of course he demonstrated
his instant camera in nineteen forty seven it was available commercially.
Fifty seven were manufactured. They sold out the first day.
He was part of the Utube program, Corona and Samos
(35:33):
Photographic Satellite program, an advisor to Dwight D. Eisenhower, more
than just a scientist, a real American, an American that
helped the cause and helped pervy kids before the advent
of the camera phone. You led with the PERV and
you finished with the perse Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
But isn't there you know the American cause that's right
and sign glad.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
But ultimately, yeah, you've got a polaroid as some chick
naked when you were in high school and a holy crap,
you where.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Were the girls streaked the quad in Peninsula High early
in my career there, well yeah, I mean there were
a lot of film developed. There was even a guy
running around with a video camera and a child was
smashed up against defense. I mean we got ugly. It
was a stampede.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Maybe was a big deal when we were young. You
could You couldn't just open your phone and have boobs boobling.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
That, and you would get tired of looking at a photo.
People don't get tired of looking at their phone. It
seems beating out Bill Krutzman and the great Irish singer

Speaker 2 (36:45):
This man would have been eighty three years old today.
Peter Carry, now living in New York City, one of
only five riders who's won the Booker Prize for Fiction twice,
from a town in Victoria, Australia. He got a science
degree at Monash University. Their mascot Dayton the robot Okay Science.
(37:09):
He worked in Melbourne in advertising. He met writers and
he worked on advertising campaigns and he thought he'd try
his own luck at writing a novel. He has written
now over a dozen novels and good ones. Oscar and
Lucinda won the Booker Prize and became a movie with
(37:32):
Ray Fines and Kate Blanchette, story of an American priest
and an Australian heiress who loved to play cards. It
was a good movie. It's a great book. He did
Jack Mags, a reworking of The Great Expectations. That's you know,
you don't just rework that, Matt, you know, it's like
(37:52):
trying to do Peter Gabriel for the alive guy. You know,
that's a real undertake. He did The True History of
the Kelly Gang, which also won the Booker Prize the
Ned Kelly historical fiction work, and that became a big
movie as well. In two thousand and nine, I read
his book Parrot and Oliver in America, which was an
(38:15):
inspiration of the life of Alexis to Tolkville, who was
an aristocratic guy, a European dude who visited our country
in the eighteen thirties and wrote about his reflections. Very
good book two thousand and nine. Love That. Lots of
great nonfiction as well, and short stories. He did a
(38:36):
rock musical. He wrote the screenplay Till the End of
the World with whim Wenders, or, as Matt likes to say,
Vin Vendors you you inventd us many honorary degrees in
the Order of Australia.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
I like a good rock opera.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
He's got like an Australian knighthood. He is a great writer.
When he wrote that book Jack Maggs, the Queen asked
him to come and see her, but he snubbed her
because he was tired and he didn't want to travel.
And he did eventually meet the Queen and the Queen
did not forget. She said, you had some trouble getting
(39:12):
here the first time, did you not?
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Whoa I'll come see oh mass schedule.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
That stung him. He's lived in New York for thirty years,
married three times, ugly divorce from the second wife. She said,
you divorced me and then you used the material of
the divorce to write a book. He said, you're right,
it's great material. A fine writer, Peter Carey out of Australia.
I don't know if there's a better Australian writer. I'd
(39:40):
venture to say there's probably not. There is stupid people.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
I mean, what about the lyrics to like silver chairs.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Right, No, I mean you know, yeah, but you know
this guy's a you know, the novelist bows when the
poet walks by. Matt Maybe you're right, but who can
forget you know, some of the great Rick Springfield. Later.
