00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>the selfie you and a drink. Gonzalez made that famous

8
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:20.199
<v Speaker 1>in La.

9
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we didn't do it on an iPhone though, we

10
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:23.359
<v Speaker 2>did it on AH.

11
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:26.199
<v Speaker 1>What are those called disposable camera?

12
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:29.679
<v Speaker 3>Disposable camera? While you're old enough to know what those are,

13
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:31.039
<v Speaker 3>so are you?

14
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, it's great to see that big smile on

15
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:39.119
<v Speaker 1>your face. Let's go back to that. Actually, the selfies

16
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.200
<v Speaker 1>you and a drink Gonzalez and the culture you guys

17
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.719
<v Speaker 1>created here. How proud are you that it's still living

18
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:46.520
<v Speaker 1>on to this day.

19
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's You know, obviously, I've been fortunate

20
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.079
<v Speaker 2>enough to play with a lot of great baseball players

21
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.399
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of guys who are very accomplished on

22
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>the field, very accomplished off the field.

23
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 3>But on top of that, you know, there are great

24
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.760
<v Speaker 3>people and kind of taught me.

25
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 2>How to be a great person, be a great teammate,

26
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.079
<v Speaker 2>be good to guys.

27
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:11.560
<v Speaker 3>In the clubhouse.

28
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:13.799
<v Speaker 2>And you know, Adrian was one of those guys that

29
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 2>was exceptional with getting guys together and team dinners and

30
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.599
<v Speaker 2>appreciating the little things that happened in the game, the

31
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 2>moments in this game that happened. And you know, the

32
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.480
<v Speaker 2>selfie thing, I think caught on pretty quick and was

33
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 2>pretty cool. And I still to this day have people

34
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:32.519
<v Speaker 2>come up to me and say, hey, can we get

35
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Speaker 2>a selfie like you and Gonzo?

36
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 3>So that's pretty cool. And I think just you know,

37
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 3>over the years, watching.

38
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:44.840
<v Speaker 2>The culture in that room over there change and watching.

39
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 3>The shift in.

40
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 2>Comfort for young guys coming up, comfort for new guys

41
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.239
<v Speaker 2>getting traded over seeing how they can seamlessly kind of

42
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.359
<v Speaker 2>just fit in right away from day one and jump

43
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 2>right in and be impactful. And there it really like,

44
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, kind of minimize the not so much to

45
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>the learning curve. I think everyone has a learning curve

46
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:09.120
<v Speaker 2>when they get to this level or when they get

47
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.199
<v Speaker 2>to a new team trying to figure everything out. But

48
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>the comfort level of being accepted knowing that hey, I

49
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 2>just got to go out here and do what I

50
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:18.520
<v Speaker 2>do best and and that's all these guys want from

51
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.960
<v Speaker 2>me and to see that. Uh, you know, as far

52
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 2>as I know, it's still being carried carried over over there.

53
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.159
<v Speaker 3>And you see new guys.

54
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Come into that clubhouse and jump in and have an

55
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>impact right away.

56
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 3>It's pretty cool.

57
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.919
<v Speaker 1>So from this side looking in, now you've seen this

58
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Dodger ownership do a lot of different things. Half a

59
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars was spent this offseason. There's spent a lot

60
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>of talk about it. From your perspective, what do you

61
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.719
<v Speaker 1>think about this version of the Dodgers the last couple

62
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 1>of years.

63
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 2>Hey, is a commitment to winning. You know there there's rules,

64
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 2>the same rules are in play.

65
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 3>For everyone, and I don't I think it's great.

66
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it's great for the game to have owners

67
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.840
<v Speaker 2>that you know, are all in and and want to

68
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.319
<v Speaker 2>go out and make their team as good as they

69
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 2>can possibly make it. And it doesn't matter how many

70
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 2>top tier free agents are out there, they they want

71
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>to bring them all in. And and obviously, with you

72
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.719
<v Speaker 2>know the success the Dodgers have had over the years,

73
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 2>you know a lot of guys you don't want to

74
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:20.759
<v Speaker 2>come and be a part of it.

75
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.800
<v Speaker 3>So you know, it's good to see you.

76
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Kind of hope that more teams will you know, fall

77
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.439
<v Speaker 2>in line to you know, competing in the free agent

78
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 2>market and trying to make their team as competitive as

79
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.199
<v Speaker 2>possible as well. But you never know what's going to happen.

80
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 2>I've heard all kinds of stuff and all kinds of

81
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:41.680
<v Speaker 2>takes and angles on it. But you know, the rules

82
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.479
<v Speaker 2>are the rules, and they're playing by the rules. So

83
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you don't like it, you know, maybe

84
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 2>follow their footsteps.

85
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:48.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

86
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Bryce Sarper said that in Philadelphia, whoever complains about it

87
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>has to loser mentality.

88
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I don't disagree with Bryce.

89
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, the goal should be if you

90
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>if you in this game at any capacity, the goal

91
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>should be every year, no matter who you are, no

92
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 2>matter what city you're in, no matter what uniform you're wearing. Uh,

93
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 2>every offseason, the goal should be to win a world championship.

94
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.439
<v Speaker 2>And uh, you know, I guess on paper it appears

95
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 2>that some teams are you know, more hungry for that

96
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:19.360
<v Speaker 2>than others.

97
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, put as always Justin Turner is our guest.

98
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 1>I saw you out there for early batting practice with

99
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the young Bucks, pe Crow Armstrong and Michael Bush. Bush

100
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 1>has a Justin Turner like beard growing. Is that something

101
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.199
<v Speaker 1>that you've encouraged Bush?

102
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.600
<v Speaker 3>He's a hockey guy, so that's that's a hockey beard.

103
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 2>It's almost playoff time for the hockey season, so that's.

104
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:40.759
<v Speaker 3>What's going on.

105
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 2>And he's uh, he's been shown his hockeiness lately, getting

106
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 2>getting dotted with pitches left and right and staying in

107
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:48.560
<v Speaker 2>the game.

108
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 3>So he's a he's a tough guy.

109
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>He's a tough guy who's tough for him or happy Gilmour.

110
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Ah, Yeah, I'm gonna say, Bushy, I'm gonna say.

111
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.319
<v Speaker 1>Bushy, what's it like for you your cup life? You're really

112
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 1>a guy that wants to pass and pay forward the game?

113
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Have you been able to do that? Our guys receptive.

114
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 3>It's been fantastic over here.

115
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>It's such a talented group, first and foremost, a lot

116
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 2>of really good baseball players in here.

117
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 3>But I think the best part about.

118
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.759
<v Speaker 2>It is no one in here thinks they have anything

119
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 2>figured out. And they're all hungry, they're all curious. They

120
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:23.680
<v Speaker 2>all want to get better every day. They all want

121
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.279
<v Speaker 2>to talk baseball, they all want to have conversations.

122
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.920
<v Speaker 3>And you know, for me, you know, I've never feel

123
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 3>like I have all the answers.

124
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I've gone through a lot of things,

125
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:35.360
<v Speaker 2>and I have a lot of experience, and I have

126
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:37.839
<v Speaker 2>a lot of suggestions. And when you have a group

127
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:42.199
<v Speaker 2>of guys that are open and willing and wanting to

128
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 2>hear new ideas and new thoughts, you know that just

129
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.560
<v Speaker 2>it makes it so much more enjoyable for me, because

130
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.560
<v Speaker 2>the conversations are just amazing to have and talk and

131
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.560
<v Speaker 2>talk about you know, oh well, you know one time

132
00:05:57.639 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 2>I tried this, like maybe it'll work for you, And

133
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.360
<v Speaker 2>it's actually been really really cool.

134
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.839
<v Speaker 3>And I'm so happy with this group of guys.

135
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 2>And obviously it's a long season and we're just kind

136
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 2>of getting into it, but I could be more proud

137
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>of the way the brand of baseball we're playing right now.

138
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.360
<v Speaker 1>You still have so much to offer the game. So

139
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:19.279
<v Speaker 1>don't take this the wrong way. Everybody wants to know

140
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.560
<v Speaker 1>when is the last dance? We all want you back

141
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.160
<v Speaker 1>in LA in some capacity, But what is your mentality

142
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 1>as you go year by year?

143
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:26.639
<v Speaker 2>Now?

144
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know. I think.

145
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.199
<v Speaker 1>You twisted your neck when I asked you that. I'm

146
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:35.519
<v Speaker 1>not pushing you out of the game.

147
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:37.560
<v Speaker 3>No, no, I don't think you are. And I want

148
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:38.560
<v Speaker 3>to play as long as I can.

149
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:43.639
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know if oh, here comes JMO and

150
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.519
<v Speaker 2>you're in the seat, so I'll get up, I can

151
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 2>stand up.

152
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

153
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:53.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I want or I've never been

154
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.560
<v Speaker 2>one to want, like a spotlight shined on me or

155
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:05.279
<v Speaker 2>the accolades. I don't love talking about myself or hearing it.

156
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:07.800
<v Speaker 2>So I'm gonna play this game as long as I can.

157
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:12.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I want to announce a retirement

158
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 2>tour and go through all that.

159
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:14.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I deserve that.

00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 3>Icons of the game. They're the ones that deserve that.

163
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:25.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't necessarily.

164
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Know if that's something for me, but it's definitely something

165
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't want even if it were the case. So

166
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm just gonna keep going day by day and playing

167
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.639
