00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to a special edition of Dodger Talk David Vassey

2
00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:07.759
<v Speaker 1>at Sherwood Country Club, a place where I was married

3
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:12.039
<v Speaker 1>and right now might be divorced here soon. Anyway, we're

4
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>here for Justin Turner's eighth annual golf tournament. It's a

5
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.839
<v Speaker 1>great turnout. A lot of his teammates, former current have

6
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>showed up to support him. His great agent, the swallest

7
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.120
<v Speaker 1>agent and Major League Baseball has showed up, Greg Gensky

8
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.079
<v Speaker 1>from Vanners Sports. He will join us a little bit later.

9
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Courtney with the K is over there. I tried to

10
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>steal her her golf cart earlier this morning and she said,

11
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>hell no, get out of my golf cart and you

12
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>will find another one. So I said, hey, I just

13
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.840
<v Speaker 1>parked it right there, valet style for you. Court with

14
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.039
<v Speaker 1>a K. You know I'm here for you. You know.

15
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 1>She's a proud new mama. She's helped put together this

16
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.359
<v Speaker 1>great golf tournament eight years running. And we're very happy

17
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.399
<v Speaker 1>to be out here, and we're hoping to get some

18
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 1>of the guys that come back for lunch to stop by.

19
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I saw Corey c my favorite Seeger Matty Seger volunteered

20
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.079
<v Speaker 1>him to come on the show, so you know that's

21
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>going to happen. Also, saw my little friend Nick Punto.

22
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Nick Punto is going to be here as well. He

23
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>was one of the players on one of my favorite

24
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Dodger teams, the twenty thirteen Dodgers, so looking forward to

25
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.719
<v Speaker 1>seeing him. Ryan Pepio is out here, The cat Man,

26
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.599
<v Speaker 1>Tony Gonsolin is out here, so we'll see if those

27
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>guys stop by. Also, we are already giving out awards

28
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>here at the Justin Turner Golf Tournament. James Loney has

29
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 1>won the Worst Dressed Golfer award here early on, especially

30
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 1>the I mean, I'm not sure he got the memo.

31
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 1>This is not a Christmas ugly sweater event, but he

32
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>certainly showed up in the ugliest sweater event here at

33
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Justin Turner's Golf tournament.

34
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 2>Right.

35
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen loney sweater?

36
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 3>Sir?

37
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know he knows it's the even this guy knows.

38
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>He knows it's the worst sweater purple. I mean, can

39
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 1>you what lone he's wearing today? I mean, that's why

40
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>he never won a ring. You're gonna dress like that,

41
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>You're never gonna win a ring anyway. Eric carros Is

42
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>representing the Dodger broadcasters in style as always with Travis Matthew.

43
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Johnny de Luca, by the way, is here. He's from

44
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Agora High School and keeping the receipts. He said, I

45
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 1>still own a speaker from Travis Matthew from when we

46
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 1>did a pregame interview. I mean, is that what De

47
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>lucas thinking all the way out there in Tampa Bay.

48
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.439
<v Speaker 1>He's worried about a speaker that I didn't or may

49
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>have forgotten to give him. I mean, does he think

50
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I have it in my trunk? No shot? Anyway. This

51
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 1>is our first official show since the parade. It was

52
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>a glorious day at Dodger Stadium that afternoon. You want

53
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.080
<v Speaker 1>some hot stove, don't you. I'm going to give you

54
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 1>some hot stove. I have Dodger officials monitoring every word

55
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 1>I say, but I will still let you know what

56
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 1>I know. Justin Turner is not going to be the

57
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 1>new first base coach. Despite the tweets I'm getting, Justin

58
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Turner is still going to play one more year. He

59
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>has wanted to play until he's forty years old. I

60
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be surprised to see him on the West Coast

61
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>he finished last year with the Mariners. I know the

62
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Diamondbacks and Angels were interested in him last year, so

63
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll see whether or not they renew their interest. His agent,

64
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Greg Gensky, is going to join us, so we'll see

65
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 1>whether or not he has any sort of hints that

66
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>he wants to drop. As far as where Justin Turner

67
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 1>may or may not go, as far as the Dodgers

68
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>go themselves, ta Oscar Hernandez, I know many of you

69
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>want him back. He was the heart and soul of

70
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers. He has He and the Dodgers have been

71
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>in contact, so that's good news. Really. It feels like

72
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of teams out there have their eyes set

73
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>on starting pitching, and the Dodgers are no different. Hey,

74
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 1>there's no mare Garciapara. He tried to act like he

75
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't see me. But as he's doing right now, walking

76
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>away with his head down pretending he did not see me,

77
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 1>He'll be back. They always come crawling back. They always

78
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.680
<v Speaker 1>come crawling back. Just me. Anyway, As far as some

79
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>of the key free agents from the Dodgers championship team,

80
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:21.360
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers have remained in contact with Teoscar Hernandez, they

81
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>have remained in contact with Walker Buehler, who obviously has

82
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.079
<v Speaker 1>earned the right to test the free agent market. There

83
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of teams out there that want the

84
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>services of Walker freaking Bueler. I've heard of six different teams.

85
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 1>It feels like a lot of the Aleast teams are

86
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 1>in on starting pitching, specifically the Orioles, the Red Sox,

87
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:48.319
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees, whether it's Max Freed, Walker Bueller, or Blake Snell.

88
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Those teams are, i guess, in some ways competing with

89
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers for starting pitching. If you look at it,

90
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 1>nothing has changed from the end of the World Series

91
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 1>to right now. There are a lot of holes in

92
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>this starting rotation that need to be filled, and the

93
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers plan on doing so. One guy's out here golfing

94
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Tony Gonslin, who may be part of that Dodger pitching

95
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>staff going into twenty twenty five. Emit sheen't coming off,

96
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Tommy John Surgery, River Ryan coming off Tommy John Surgery,

97
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Evan Phillips. If we go into the bullpen ended the

98
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 1>year not on the World Series roster. Hey, there's two

99
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>good guys with two great beards, Chris Woodward, No Mar

100
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>you just made eye contact. You saw me. No Mar,

101
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.279
<v Speaker 1>you made I contact. That means you want in. Nomar's

102
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:40.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna want in? Trust me anyway. The Dodgers have the

103
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.319
<v Speaker 1>same kind of pitching holes that they ended the season with,

104
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>so they need starting pitching Roki Sazaki, the Japanese twenty

105
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 1>three year old. Yes, of course, the Dodgers, among other

106
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 1>teams have No Mar's gonna get I'm sure a chicken

107
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>sandwich super healthy to embarrass the rest of us. Yeah,

108
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 1>I know you are going to get No Mark garciapara,

109
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.600
<v Speaker 1>No Mark chance. I could see No Mar getting a

110
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>chicken sandwich on a lettuce wrap, no cheese, and maybe,

111
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 1>uh you know, maybe a tomato on top.

112
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.639
<v Speaker 4>No tomato, no tomato, tomato out of it. But everything

113
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:18.680
<v Speaker 4>else you said sounds pretty good. Okay, maybe I'll go

114
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:20.000
<v Speaker 4>that route you want me to get you one.

115
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>No, I'll go with the burger.

116
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 3>You go.

117
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:23.279
<v Speaker 1>I'll leave the chicken for you.

118
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.360
<v Speaker 4>All right, Go with the burger extra mao what you want?

119
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>No Mar. By the way, I know you didn't recognize

120
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>me because I might be a little bit more swollen

121
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.079
<v Speaker 1>than at the end of the year at forty five.

122
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 1>No Mar, every day since the end of the World Series.

123
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>How does it look you might need f ninety.

124
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:42.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't think.

125
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.759
<v Speaker 1>Let's go ninety and then you work your way down.

126
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.959
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm just saying, but you look great.

127
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.439
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Omar, you look good. Black always helps the

128
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:52.279
<v Speaker 1>skinny fat guys.

129
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.720
<v Speaker 4>Go with that one yes, exactly and then getting one

130
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 4>size up on the shirt.

131
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>There you go. How's it going, Omar? Are you swinging

132
00:06:59.240 --> 00:06:59.879
<v Speaker 1>out there with christ?

133
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 4>I mean, this day is perfect. You can ask for

134
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.519
<v Speaker 4>a more perfect day on a beautiful golf course. I

135
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.680
<v Speaker 4>have a lot of divots out there. I should be

136
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 4>collecting them and then I could probably put it in

137
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:13.480
<v Speaker 4>my backyard and have a lawn the amount of divots

138
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.639
<v Speaker 4>I've been taking out of this poor course. But it's

139
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:16.319
<v Speaker 4>a perfect day.

140
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Who did Justin Turner pair you up with?

141
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:21.879
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, I got Chris Woodward, I got e

142
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.079
<v Speaker 4>K and I got marcos Arius out here as well.

143
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.399
<v Speaker 4>So the four of us are out here, and I

144
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.399
<v Speaker 4>like to say they are carrying me, and they are.

145
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.160
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't believe that doubt. Carols looked very stiff

146
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.480
<v Speaker 1>this morning. No, he didn't seem like he could really

147
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.000
<v Speaker 1>move earlier.

148
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:40.399
<v Speaker 4>Listen, Caros does that on purpose so we can sandbag,

149
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 4>and all of a sudden he gets loose and then

150
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:43.959
<v Speaker 4>he starts dotting it right, you know, right next to

151
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.800
<v Speaker 4>the pin every time, and we're like, you know, nice shot, Ek,

152
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.879
<v Speaker 4>We'll use another one of your drives, Ek, and then woo,

153
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.439
<v Speaker 4>Woody hits it a ton and we're like, man, we're already.

154
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:53.959
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know you can get this close to the

155
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:55.680
<v Speaker 4>pin off the tea box. That's how good he hits.

156
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.759
<v Speaker 1>Well. You know, he has this rover job with the Dodgers,

157
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>so you know what that means. He's to a lot

158
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>of golf courses.

159
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.519
<v Speaker 4>Listen, whatever it is swings it really well.

160
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:07.439
<v Speaker 1>You've been to a lot of these. You've been to

161
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.439
<v Speaker 1>all eight of the Justin Turner golf tournaments. I mean,

162
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>what does it say about Justin and Courtney to keep

163
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:14.120
<v Speaker 1>this going?

164
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:16.879
<v Speaker 4>It says a lot about them, obviously when you see

165
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.000
<v Speaker 4>the turnout. First of all, it's so impressive the amount

166
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:21.879
<v Speaker 4>of people are here, the amount of sponsors that are

167
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.800
<v Speaker 4>so supportive. I also think it speaks volumes of them

168
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:29.519
<v Speaker 4>as individuals, because so many people want to help, want

169
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 4>to contribute, want to back them, because they know all

170
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.960
<v Speaker 4>the good things they do in the community and also

171
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.919
<v Speaker 4>just amazing human beings that they are, and that helps

172
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.759
<v Speaker 4>out a lot to get so much support from the

173
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 4>individuals that are out here. So so many people behind

174
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.120
<v Speaker 4>the scenes obviously do an amazing job to put this on.

175
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.320
<v Speaker 4>But it is really really impressive to see the amount

176
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 4>of golfers out here who want.

177
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:51.399
<v Speaker 5>To be a part of this.

178
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:53.879
<v Speaker 1>And you don't just show up to any golf tournament

179
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:57.639
<v Speaker 1>like James Loney, you actually have some sort of filter here.

180
00:08:57.679 --> 00:08:59.840
<v Speaker 1>So for you to be here, you believe in what

181
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 1>they do.

182
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.320
<v Speaker 4>Now, no doubt, you believe in what they do. They

183
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.039
<v Speaker 4>do so many great things, and there's a lot of

184
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:07.480
<v Speaker 4>athletes obviously out there that have done that, do amazing

185
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:08.919
<v Speaker 4>things and continue to do stuff.

186
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 5>You know, JT.

187
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:13.120
<v Speaker 4>You know, obviously his time with the Dodgers always be remembered.

188
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, I'm sure we'll all say, as Dodger fans,

189
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.240
<v Speaker 4>he's always a Dodger and look at it that way,

190
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Speaker 4>and I think that also speaks volumes and he knows

191
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:22.600
<v Speaker 4>that and embraces that and as we should. But he's

192
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.120
<v Speaker 4>always taking it a step further and knowing, you know,

193
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:27.200
<v Speaker 4>where he came from, knowing to be able to give

194
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 4>back and using that platform and him and Courtney doing

195
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:31.000
<v Speaker 4>an amazing job by doing that.

196
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Two time batting champion and a champion of the people

197
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.519
<v Speaker 1>of Los Angeles. Nomar Garcia Para is joining us from

<v Speaker 5>Players and actually beat them, you know, whether it's.

206

<v Speaker 1>You teach me so much, Nomar Seriously, you teach all

224
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.600
<v Speaker 1>of us so much, and you deserve a lot of

225
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:33.960
<v Speaker 1>credit because you worked almost the entire season, if not

226
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the entire season. You deserve a championship crown yourself because

227
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I know how badly you wanted it for those guys

228
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.919
<v Speaker 1>and that coaching staff, and we finally got to see it.

229
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.039
<v Speaker 4>Well, it was so much fun to watch you. And

230
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:49.080
<v Speaker 4>I know, you know, we're fans, you know, and obviously

231
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.759
<v Speaker 4>we're you and I are very fortunate to not only

232
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:53.799
<v Speaker 4>watch these guys perform, but we also get to know

233
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:58.480
<v Speaker 4>them outside of on the field, and they're really easy

234
00:10:58.480 --> 00:10:58.960
<v Speaker 4>to cheer for.

235
00:10:59.080 --> 00:10:59.679
<v Speaker 3>You and I know that.

236
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, they're just great people as well. So yeah,

237
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.159
<v Speaker 4>I think for us to know him on that level,

238
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:10.879
<v Speaker 4>it's an additional, you know, form of excitement and wanting

239
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:14.120
<v Speaker 4>them to win so bad for them because of the work,

240
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:16.960
<v Speaker 4>but just because of they're good guys and they're easy

241
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 4>to cheer for. And I think the fans recognized that.

242
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 4>I mean, obviously what they brought to Los Angeles was incredible,

243
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.399
<v Speaker 4>but it's for us we can always deliver and let

244
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 4>the fans know that it's okay to cheer for these guys,

245
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:31.399
<v Speaker 4>because these guys are just as good off the field

246
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:32.440
<v Speaker 4>as you see on the field.

247
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.519
<v Speaker 1>Nomar well said, we love you, Nomar, You're the best.

248
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to give theo Epstein the people's elbow after

249
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.159
<v Speaker 1>that comeback Netflix show. I'll do it for you. I'll

250
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.759
<v Speaker 1>tell you the whole story later, all right, Nomar is

251
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 1>a great guy. He was misrepresented in that freaking travesty Boston.

252
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:53.000
<v Speaker 1>No wonder, nobody wants to play there. My guy, Nomar Garciapara,

253
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.519
<v Speaker 1>he's the man. Look at Karas he's taking a to

254
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.480
<v Speaker 1>go box. He's ready to go. Man, he's moving a

255
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.159
<v Speaker 1>lot better than he was when this thing started. No wonder,

256
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.159
<v Speaker 1>Nomar is all happy man, and Karros his hair is perfect.

257
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:05.360
<v Speaker 6>You know.

258
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.679
<v Speaker 1>Back in the day when I was watching Eric Carros play,

259
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 1>he would go on the Jim Rome Show twenty four

260
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:14.279
<v Speaker 1>to seven, and he is nicknamed back when he was

261
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.759
<v Speaker 1>playing was Fabio. And that's the reason why right there

262
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:21.399
<v Speaker 1>there it is he'll be back. They always crawl back,

263
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:24.200
<v Speaker 1>trust me, Eric Carrolls would be crawling back. My guy,

264
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Chris Woodward, he doesn't want to come on here. He

265
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 1>does not want to come on here. He knows I'm

266
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:35.360
<v Speaker 1>a loose cannon today. I'm a loose cannon today. Oh man, Hey,

267
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.759
<v Speaker 1>how dare you? Steve Hartman? Are you kidding me? I

268
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.960
<v Speaker 1>do not have new hair. Bosley is my guy. All Right,

269
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.639
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna take a time out here on Dodger Talk.

270
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:46.600
<v Speaker 1>When we come back, we'll be joined by more of

271
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the celebrities out here that are pretending they want to

272
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>avoid me, but always find a way back into the seat.

273
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:56.240
<v Speaker 1>All right, Dodger Talk from Sherwood Country Club, a place

274
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.039
<v Speaker 1>I got married, and by the way, the marriage is very,

275
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:01.480
<v Speaker 1>very iffy. Right now, we'll send it back to you

276
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.919
<v Speaker 1>in the studio for now. More Dodger Talk on the

277
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.679
<v Speaker 1>iHeartRadio app coming up. Welcome back to Dodger Talk. David

278
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.039
<v Speaker 1>Vassey out here at Sherwood Country Club for the eighth

279
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:14.679
<v Speaker 1>annual Justin Turner Charity Golf Tournament. And a man that

280
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:17.679
<v Speaker 1>has been a staple of this tournament is one of

281
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.759
<v Speaker 1>my favorite Dodgers that I was able to cover. You know,

282
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.639
<v Speaker 1>people always talk about how do you get in with players?

283
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.039
<v Speaker 1>Wired do you guys seem to be so tight. Well,

284
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.200
<v Speaker 1>there were two guys when I first started that really

285
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>brought me into the inner circle. That was Skip Schumacher

286
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.879
<v Speaker 1>and our guest Nick Punto, who is part of the

287
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.519
<v Speaker 1>great twenty thirteen Dodgers. Punto, great to see you. Thank

288
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:41.279
<v Speaker 1>you for coming on. I'm sorry we have to do

289
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:41.799
<v Speaker 1>this again.

290
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.639
<v Speaker 2>I love it, buddy. That was a great prelude, and.

291
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.519
<v Speaker 7>I just want to first of all say congratulations to

292
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:51.759
<v Speaker 7>our fan base in LA is so cool, unbelievable. They

293
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.200
<v Speaker 7>got cheated in twenty not getting to be there in

294
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.320
<v Speaker 7>person seeing those guys do it, and they.

295
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:58.919
<v Speaker 1>Got cheated in twenty seventeen too.

296
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:01.639
<v Speaker 2>They sure in more ways than one, didn't they.

297
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.639
<v Speaker 7>But I was just thrilled watching that and getting to

298
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:09.159
<v Speaker 7>see them celebrate, and my dear friend Clayton Kershaw couldn't

299
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.759
<v Speaker 7>feel more excited for him and the whole fan base.

300
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:12.279
<v Speaker 2>Pretty cool.

301
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Were you surprised by the emotions he showed at the

302
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.559
<v Speaker 1>parade with the way the fans received him. I mean

303
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:21.759
<v Speaker 1>we talked about this a little bit. He doesn't really

304
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:23.960
<v Speaker 1>show too many emotions.

305
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:25.559
<v Speaker 2>He'd you know what, He keeps it pretty close to

306
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the vest.

307
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.840
<v Speaker 7>But when Clayton does let go, it's wide open and raw,

308
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:34.399
<v Speaker 7>and I could feel it through the television, like I

309
00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:37.360
<v Speaker 7>got chills as soon as I heard the ovation for him.

310
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:39.639
<v Speaker 7>They know what he's done for this city and for

311
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.879
<v Speaker 7>how long he's done it for this city, and it

312
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:43.519
<v Speaker 7>was nice for them to, you.

313
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:45.159
<v Speaker 2>Know, give him that ovation that he got.

314
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Nick Punto and Skip Schumacher have the distinction of not

315
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.399
<v Speaker 1>being teammates with Kershaw the year he won the National

316
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.039
<v Speaker 1>League MVP, but in his acceptance speech he thanked Skip

317
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Schumacher and Nick Punto. How much I haven't talked to

318
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:04.039
<v Speaker 1>you about this. I mean, we're going back a few

319
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.600
<v Speaker 1>years now, but since we're on the topic of Kershaw,

320
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.759
<v Speaker 1>how much did that mean to you for him at

321
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a you know, December acceptance speech for an MVP. Nonetheless,

322
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.159
<v Speaker 1>to single out you and little Skippy.

323
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:19.000
<v Speaker 2>I was there. I was there.

324
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.919
<v Speaker 7>I was watching through the television screen with the wife

325
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.559
<v Speaker 7>and kids and we had family over and to say

326
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:30.000
<v Speaker 7>I maybe had a tear, it was definitely there. It's

327
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.639
<v Speaker 7>Clayton Kershaw is just one of those guys that is

328
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:33.559
<v Speaker 7>so easy to root for.

329
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:36.559
<v Speaker 2>His daily habits, the way he cares.

330
00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:40.360
<v Speaker 7>About his teammates, everything he does is so professional and

331
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:42.600
<v Speaker 7>to get to say that I got to play with

332
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.240
<v Speaker 7>probably the greatest lefty of all time is pretty cool.

333
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:47.080
<v Speaker 2>And if not, Sandy's right there right.

334
00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>You know what's weird is how you're at Justin Turner's

335
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:53.879
<v Speaker 1>golf tournament. And I remember after Skip Schumacher and Nick

336
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Punto left the Dodgers in spring of twenty fourteen, Nick

337
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Punto and Skips Schumacher were a huge void to fill

338
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and everybody wondered who was going to fill your void?

339
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:07.759
<v Speaker 1>And it was one guy. It was that guy that

340
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:10.919
<v Speaker 1>needed to fill the void of Schumacher and Punto. And

341
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:13.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's turned into something bigger than we all

342
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:14.279
<v Speaker 1>ever thought.

343
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.000
<v Speaker 7>It's actually incredible what the Dodgers have done for the

344
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:20.159
<v Speaker 7>last what is it eleven seasons? I think twenty thirteen

345
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.960
<v Speaker 7>that was the beginning, right, that's the beginning. And they

346
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:25.240
<v Speaker 7>still they they're still going strong. I don't want to

347
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:28.240
<v Speaker 7>jinx anything, but they are going strong. And for me,

348
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:29.600
<v Speaker 7>I feel like they have a chance to.

349
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Create a dynasty. They're that good.

350
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.159
<v Speaker 7>The front office is that good, the ownership is that good,

351
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:36.720
<v Speaker 7>that the players are that good. They keep bringing in

352
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:40.320
<v Speaker 7>the right nucleus of players, the energy Like me watching

353
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.919
<v Speaker 7>that World Series knowing how much clubhouse culture matters. I'm

354
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:47.960
<v Speaker 7>watching that World Series and literally I knew that we

355
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:52.360
<v Speaker 7>had the advantage. Yeah, Yankees, the dynamics of that clubhouse.

356
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:54.960
<v Speaker 7>You heard Monthsy talk about how connected and this is

357
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:55.759
<v Speaker 7>the best group he's.

358
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Been a part of. Those are like huge words for

359
00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:59.600
<v Speaker 2>a guy that's won that many years in a row.

360
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:01.080
<v Speaker 1>This is the group.

361
00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:03.720
<v Speaker 7>So it was such an easy team to root for.

362
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:06.200
<v Speaker 7>And like I said, I'm elated for the fan base

363
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:07.640
<v Speaker 7>and proud to be a Dodger fan.

364
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure Nick Punto can appreciate. And maybe his favorite

365
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:14.720
<v Speaker 1>player on the Dodgers is Tommy Edmond. I mean, come on,

366
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.160
<v Speaker 1>that seems like Nick Punto written all over it.

367
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.200
<v Speaker 7>That is my style, buddy, you got it. Yeah, just

368
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:22.200
<v Speaker 7>a baseball player. He is a baseball player looking for

369
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:24.759
<v Speaker 7>the weaknesses. The guy's playing back a little bit, he's

370
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:26.480
<v Speaker 7>gonna lay down the bun, He's gonna get the guy over.

371
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:29.839
<v Speaker 7>He is a baseball player through and through, and they

372
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:31.680
<v Speaker 7>have a bunch of them. They actually have a bunch

373
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:34.160
<v Speaker 7>of them. You know, one of their superstars in Mookie

374
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:36.880
<v Speaker 7>Bets is a true baseball player. Yeah, a guy that's

375
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:38.839
<v Speaker 7>a right Fielder willing to go play the infield, like,

376
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:41.279
<v Speaker 7>those are the sacrifices that create a winning culture.

377
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:42.599
<v Speaker 2>And it's a special group.

378
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Mookie Bets, his daughter wasn't feeling well, so

379
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:47.480
<v Speaker 1>he had to leave to pick her up. So the

380
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:51.480
<v Speaker 1>door is wide open for Punto, Ryan Peppio, Justin Turner

381
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:56.319
<v Speaker 1>and whoever else is your fourth to take over Seer? Yeah,

382
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:58.079
<v Speaker 1>I've heard of him before. He's decent.

383
00:17:58.599 --> 00:17:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Now we're having a blast.

384
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Hey, it's a complete rigged tournament with you guys all together.

385
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Let's be honest.

386
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:07.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, Justin knows what he's doing. He picks the

387
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:08.799
<v Speaker 2>pretty group. Pretty good group here.

388
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the pretty goop. Yeah, you guys are pretty too.

389
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:11.519
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

390
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Come on, yeah, Cory Seger.

391
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:15.839
<v Speaker 7>That's a tall drink of water, isn't it. Yeah, But yeah,

395
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:25.240
<v Speaker 2>My last thing is this is kind of weird.

396
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:27.839
<v Speaker 7>But my last thing is when we talk about clubhouse

397
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.599
<v Speaker 7>culture and winning and how much that stuff matters, you

398
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.680
<v Speaker 7>actually have a part in this, Like, because I've never

399
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:36.960
<v Speaker 7>been around a guy that is around the team that

400
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:39.200
<v Speaker 7>the team is so comfortable with, and you just have

401
00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:40.279
<v Speaker 7>that natural gift.

402
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.319
<v Speaker 2>And I really do appreciate.

403
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.880

00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:46.680
<v Speaker 7>our friendship.

00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:52.200
<v Speaker 1>heard you guys pass the baton forward in a lot

407
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.359
<v Speaker 1>of different ways. So you guys just vouching for me.

408
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, honestly, I'll never forget it. And I know

409
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:01.160
<v Speaker 1>people that are around the Dog now that weren't around

410
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.799
<v Speaker 1>in twenty thirteen. They get tired of me saying how

411
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:08.119
<v Speaker 1>much I loved the twenty thirteen Dodgers. But I mean, honestly,

412
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:10.359
<v Speaker 1>you guys were one of my favorite group of players

413
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to be around. And it was so you guys were

414
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:17.200
<v Speaker 1>true good people and great ballplayers. And you guys started this.

415
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:19.079
<v Speaker 1>It started in twenty thirteen.

416
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:19.759
<v Speaker 2>It's cool.

417
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.559
<v Speaker 1>I always tell Gonzo it's the Nick Punto trade. It's

418
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:24.960
<v Speaker 1>not the Gonzo trade. It's the Puto trade.

419
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:25.200
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:32.720
<v Speaker 1>blow up every single interview that I have done here today.

440
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.880

00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:39.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what he's up to, but you know

445
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:51.240
<v Speaker 1>not really sure who backed out where they needed me

446
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:55.519
<v Speaker 1>to host this reception and live auction. But David Vassey

447
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:58.720

<v Speaker 5>Is that is that throw up on your sweater? Are

475
00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:10.160
<v Speaker 5>you nervous?

476
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

477
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:11.680
<v Speaker 5>Have you seen the movie?

478
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes, he does throw up.

479
00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's how I feel right now.

480
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.960
<v Speaker 5>That was a reference. Yes, I'm all in okay, Yes

481
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:19.920
<v Speaker 5>in Detroit, Yes, okay.

482
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:21.359
<v Speaker 1>We're in Surewood. It's very similar.

483
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:25.240
<v Speaker 5>I don't know what a day to day though, What

484
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:27.480
<v Speaker 5>a great day. My goodness, the weather couldn't have been

485
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:28.000
<v Speaker 5>any better.

486
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:30.240
<v Speaker 1>And I think that was God shining down on you

487
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:34.039
<v Speaker 1>and Courtney for all the great work you've done starting

488
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:37.079
<v Speaker 1>from when you began with the Dodgers. What does it

489
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:40.599
<v Speaker 1>mean to you to have former current guys that you

490
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:43.759
<v Speaker 1>play against show up to support your foundation.

491
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:47.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, this was This was fantastic. I think you know.

492
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:51.119
<v Speaker 8>Obviously, my nine years as Dodger has been up and

493
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:53.400
<v Speaker 8>I've bounced around to a couple different places over the

494
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:56.759
<v Speaker 8>last couple of years. And I think the one thing

495
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:00.319
<v Speaker 8>that that's done, other than give me opportunities and kind

496
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:04.480
<v Speaker 8>of expanding, Court and Eye's traveling and exploring the country

497
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:07.759
<v Speaker 8>and and even other countries in Canada, but it's allowed

498
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:10.200
<v Speaker 8>us to make a lot more relationships around the league.

499
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:14.119
<v Speaker 8>And you know, this was always a very Dodger heavy event,

500
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:18.200
<v Speaker 8>and it still has a very heavy Dodger presence here,

501
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:21.599
<v Speaker 8>but we've been able to expand out and there's you know,

502
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:24.960
<v Speaker 8>guys from the Rays, and guys hitting coach from the

503
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:28.960
<v Speaker 8>Orioles and Seegers with the Rangers now and guys from

504
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:31.400
<v Speaker 8>all over the league. Cal Rally come down from Seattle

505
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:36.839
<v Speaker 8>to join us, and Pico Armstrong yeah here and Johnny

506
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:39.720
<v Speaker 8>de Luca is out here. So it's really kind of

507
00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:42.359
<v Speaker 8>spreading and getting around the league, and we're just trying

508
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:43.960
<v Speaker 8>to get more and more guys out here to make

509
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.000
<v Speaker 8>it a great experience for all of our supporters who

510
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:50.400
<v Speaker 8>come out every year and donate to the foundation and

511
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:53.960
<v Speaker 8>really are the backbone of Court and I being able

512
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:56.680
<v Speaker 8>to have such an impact on the community. So uh,

513
00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:59.200
<v Speaker 8>it's been awesome. James Loney's here, Travis Darnault's here, a

514
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:03.039
<v Speaker 8>New Angel. Yeah, so we got guys. Josh Satin, former

515
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:05.920
<v Speaker 8>New York met so Ike Davis, former teammate of mine.

516
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:08.839
<v Speaker 5>So there's guys. I'm looking at. Jaron Duran, Boston Red. Yeah,

517
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:10.160
<v Speaker 5>so's he's a wildcard.

518
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Did he throw a golf club out there?

519
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:14.880
<v Speaker 5>No, that's my guy.

520
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:16.920
<v Speaker 1>He's a great guy, long beach steak guy.

521
00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:21.799
<v Speaker 8>I'm amazingly we got along very well for him being

522
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:24.240
<v Speaker 8>a guy and me being a cal State ForwArt and guy.

523
00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:26.799
<v Speaker 8>But he made the drive up from Huntington Beach this morning,

524
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:28.200
<v Speaker 8>so I think it took him like two hours and

525
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:30.599
<v Speaker 8>forty minutes. Uh, and he still made it out here.

526
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:34.039
<v Speaker 8>So just so thankful for all these guys and appreciative

527
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.799
<v Speaker 8>of their support and and obviously you know, everyone who's

528
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:43.119
<v Speaker 8>out here sponsoring the event, coming out playing and allowing

529
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:46.200
<v Speaker 8>us to really impact people's lives.

530
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:49.480
<v Speaker 1>That's wonderful. Justin Turner and his wife Courtney Turner keeping

531
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:53.039
<v Speaker 1>the foundation alive here in Los Angeles and expanding all

532
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:56.599
<v Speaker 1>over the country. I was wondering, and fans are wondering,

533
00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:01.960
<v Speaker 1>what were your thoughts watching the Dodgers World Series celebrate

534
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and getting the parade. I know a lot of people

535
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:06.920
<v Speaker 1>in the world these days have fomo, but I never

536
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:08.319
<v Speaker 1>got that impression from you.

537
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:12.640
<v Speaker 5>Well, you're wrong. It's definitely fomo. You know.

538
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:15.839
<v Speaker 8>That was something that as long as I had been

539
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:19.319
<v Speaker 8>with the Dodgers, I talked about it openly. Wanted to

540
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:21.480
<v Speaker 8>bring back a championship for this city and wanted to

541
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:24.559
<v Speaker 8>give him a parade and end that drought. And the

542
00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:26.200
<v Speaker 8>fact that we got to do that in twenty twenty

543
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:28.960
<v Speaker 8>but didn't get to celebrate it the right way, it

544
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:31.480
<v Speaker 8>definitely has still left a bad taste in my mouth.

545
00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:35.680
<v Speaker 8>It's still something that I want to experience, not discounting

546
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:38.559
<v Speaker 8>the championship at all, but wanting to feel what it's

547
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:42.079
<v Speaker 8>like afterwards to get that treatment from the city, from

548
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:46.440
<v Speaker 8>the fans, celebrate it the right way. And you know,

549
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:48.279
<v Speaker 8>the fact that they got it done this year, I

550
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:50.279
<v Speaker 8>think is huge and I think the city deserves it.

551
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:51.960
<v Speaker 8>I think the city felt cheated out of it in

552
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:55.799
<v Speaker 8>twenty twenty. So obviously they showed up in droves and

553
00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:57.680
<v Speaker 8>the parade was great.

554
00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:58.680
<v Speaker 5>The guys got to do it.

555
00:25:58.720 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 8>I got to talk to a few of them here

556
00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:02.079
<v Speaker 8>to day and just ask them what it was like.

557
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:05.799
<v Speaker 8>And you know, it was everything I thought it would

558
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:08.680
<v Speaker 8>be and more so. Hopefully I got a few more

559
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:10.440
<v Speaker 8>years in me and we can make a run and

560
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:12.400
<v Speaker 8>I'll get to enjoy one of those.

561
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:14.240
<v Speaker 1>That would be special. And it felt like a lot

562
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:17.000
<v Speaker 1>of those teammates that were with you in twenty they

563
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:20.519
<v Speaker 1>were referencing guys like yourself saying this is for them

564
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:23.119
<v Speaker 1>as well. We wish they were here as well to

565
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:26.400
<v Speaker 1>experience that. I know that's not the same, but how

566
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:28.599
<v Speaker 1>much did you appreciate they were thinking of you?

567
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:29.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? It was great.

568
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:31.759
<v Speaker 8>And you know, I've had a lot of people ask

569
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:33.839
<v Speaker 8>me like, why weren't you guys there? You guys should

570
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.079
<v Speaker 8>have came up and and you know, I think a

571
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:39.039
<v Speaker 8>few a few of the guys that I've talked to

572
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:41.039
<v Speaker 8>from the twenty twenty team that weren't on the twenty

573
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.559
<v Speaker 8>four team, you know, we still talk and we were

574
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:46.799
<v Speaker 8>falling along we were watching the series, and I think

575
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:48.759
<v Speaker 8>we all had kind of the same thought like listen,

576
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:51.920
<v Speaker 8>like this isn't about us and the twenty twenty team,

577
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:54.559
<v Speaker 8>like they got it done this year, they're champions. None

578
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:56.079
<v Speaker 8>of us want to go up there and take anything

579
00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:58.680
<v Speaker 8>away from what they did this year. So it was

580
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:02.119
<v Speaker 8>as nice of a gesture as it was from fans

581
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:05.319
<v Speaker 8>and you know, media and people reaching out saying, oh, you.

582
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:07.799
<v Speaker 5>Guys should be here, you guys should be celebrating. You know.

583
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:10.000
<v Speaker 5>I just don't think it was appropriate like this.

584
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:13.000
<v Speaker 8>This was about the twenty twenty four team and what

585
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:16.519
<v Speaker 8>they accomplished and winning the tournament, which I think is

586
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:19.079
<v Speaker 8>As a Dodger player who was here for nine years,

587
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:22.720
<v Speaker 8>nine playoff appearances, and only won one championship.

588
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:25.640
<v Speaker 5>I truly appreciate how hard it is to win that

589
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:27.640
<v Speaker 5>tournament and be the last one standing.

590
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.359
<v Speaker 1>So, hey, Dodger, those of them Dodger fans aren't closing

591
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:32.359
<v Speaker 1>the door on you. You still want to play, even

592
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:35.400
<v Speaker 1>though I'm getting tweets about you being the first base coach.

593
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:39.200
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I mean they don't even work, so they don't

594
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:41.680
<v Speaker 8>even want me to announce my retirement. Yeah, I come

595
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:43.440
<v Speaker 8>coach first base, and I'm like, dude, I still got

596
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:44.000
<v Speaker 8>some good years.

597
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So.

598
00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:51.160
<v Speaker 8>I am not retiring. I'm still playing and I will

599
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:53.880
<v Speaker 8>be out there this year. So no, I'm not taking

600
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:54.799
<v Speaker 8>interviews for the.

601
00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:57.119
<v Speaker 1>First base job. For the player coach. You could be

602
00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:58.640
<v Speaker 1>like Pete Rose without the betting.

603
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:03.920
<v Speaker 5>I mean, come on, we want to talk about betting?

604
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.759
<v Speaker 1>Okay, sounds good. Hey, before I let you go, you're

605
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:10.279
<v Speaker 1>a big sports fan. I've been itching to ask you

606
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:13.000
<v Speaker 1>about the Tyson Jake Paul fight. Did you watch it?

607
00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:15.920
<v Speaker 1>And did you think that was fixed? Because now I'm

608
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:20.599
<v Speaker 1>looking back, feels like Jake Paul was kind of maybe

609
00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:23.480
<v Speaker 1>not taking it as hard as he might have on Tyson.

610
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Did you were you let down by the fight? And

611
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:28.720
<v Speaker 1>did your Wi Fi go out like ours? Or the buffering?

612
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:32.519
<v Speaker 8>I was frustrated that I had to keep refreshing my Netflix.

613
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:33.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, watch that.

614
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.480
<v Speaker 8>And I think obviously there's a lot of stuff going

615
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:40.240
<v Speaker 8>around the internet on what's what and what's going on,

616
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:44.880
<v Speaker 8>but I think some of the incentives are were very

617
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:50.920
<v Speaker 8>very uh I guess revealing to the fact that they

618
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:53.240
<v Speaker 8>wanted the fight to go eight rounds, they wanted it

619
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:55.720
<v Speaker 8>to go to decision, and I think that made everyone

620
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:57.799
<v Speaker 8>a lot happier financially.

621
00:28:57.839 --> 00:28:59.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it did. Yeah, and that's the unfortunate.

622
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:03.519
<v Speaker 8>I think I would love to see them go at

623
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:06.319
<v Speaker 8>it and just have all things equal and see what

624
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:09.799
<v Speaker 8>happens no matter what. But you know, it is what

625
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:13.200
<v Speaker 8>it is. It's an entertainment world. It's an entertainment business.

626
00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:17.960
<v Speaker 8>Jake Paul's an entertainer, and you know, I think they're

627
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:19.759
<v Speaker 8>going to have to start putting on some better shows though,

628
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:22.440
<v Speaker 8>if they're gonna want people to tune into his future fights.

629
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:25.559
<v Speaker 1>Well said, great to see you out here. Thank you

<v Speaker 1>Corey Seeger, Corey Man. You know, this is the only

678
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:52.000
<v Speaker 1>reason why I come out here is to see you.

679
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I might walk away now, Yeah, come on, come on, man.

680
00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:56.599
<v Speaker 3>It's always a pleasure.

681
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Great to see you.

682
00:31:57.440 --> 00:31:57.759
<v Speaker 3>You too.

683
00:31:58.079 --> 00:31:59.319
<v Speaker 1>How'd you guys swing today?

684
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:02.240
<v Speaker 3>We put a good run on it. We might be

685
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:04.039
<v Speaker 3>at the top of that leaderboard, so we'll find out.

686
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:05.759
<v Speaker 5>Oh boy, watch out.

687
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, hey, I'm telling you. The way you're

688
00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:12.440
<v Speaker 1>playing it down makes this even more suspicious that Justin

689
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Turner rigged to win his own golf tournament.

690
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:16.519
<v Speaker 3>Hey, sometimes youatta, you know?

691
00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes did Ryan Pepio hit a hole in one again?

692
00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:22.000
<v Speaker 3>No, but he came pretty close a couple times, did

693
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:22.279
<v Speaker 3>he really?

694
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:22.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

695
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:25.359
<v Speaker 3>I killed the ball, Oh God, drove the green a

696
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:26.000
<v Speaker 3>couple of times.

697
00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:26.200
<v Speaker 1>You know.

698
00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:27.839
<v Speaker 3>We oh, I out there.

699
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I was out there. I saw what you guys were

700
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:33.559
<v Speaker 1>doing out there. Geez, Justin Turner, what does he mean

701
00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:36.039
<v Speaker 1>to you? Why do you and Maddie Seeger come all

702
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:39.599
<v Speaker 1>the way back to California for this golf tournament? I know,

703
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:43.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not just because of golfing. You come because of

704
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Courtney and Justin and what they do.

705
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Yep, we come for the humans. You know, they're just

706
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:50.960
<v Speaker 3>they're incredible people. How they've supported the city, how their

707
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:53.559
<v Speaker 3>foundation has just supported many people. You know, that's why

708
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:56.480
<v Speaker 3>you come. You know, it's the relationship of me and him,

709
00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Courtney and Maddie, even me and court right, like, we're

710
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:01.079
<v Speaker 3>all we're all good for it, and so it's just

711
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:03.000
<v Speaker 3>that relationship that brings you out here and you know

712
00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:04.279
<v Speaker 3>and will always be out here.

713
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:09.200
<v Speaker 1>It feels like anybody from those teams from twenty fifteen

714
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:13.599
<v Speaker 1>to twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, if anybody needed the other,

715
00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:15.519
<v Speaker 1>it feels like you guys would be there for them.

716
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:17.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Absolutely, you know, we were a really close group,

717
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:21.880
<v Speaker 3>and you're right, just the support that we have for

718
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:24.160
<v Speaker 3>each other and just spend a lot of years together

719
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:26.759
<v Speaker 3>and you become friends. You know, it's on and off field,

720
00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:28.599
<v Speaker 3>but mostly off the field. Now that we're all, uh,

721
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:31.119
<v Speaker 3>we're all good friends still and stick together and we

722
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:32.480
<v Speaker 3>show up, you know, that's what you're supposed to do

723
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:33.680
<v Speaker 3>for your teammates and your friends.

724
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:35.839
<v Speaker 1>Now that you're all married and all of you now

725
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:38.359
<v Speaker 1>have kids, it felt like there was a lot less

726
00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:41.119
<v Speaker 1>well now you that's right. I'm sorry. I was thinking

727
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Justin and Courtney with bo Courtney.

728
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:45.000
<v Speaker 3>That's a cute little kid.

729
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Cute little kid, a lot of ginger, a lot of

730
00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:47.960
<v Speaker 1>gin there.

731
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:49.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, cute kids.

732
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:52.839
<v Speaker 1>It's great when you could give it back to the parents.

733
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:56.039
<v Speaker 3>Right, Yeah, that's where on map. But no, he's a

734
00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:57.920
<v Speaker 3>cute little guy, that one that you might run away with.

735
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:00.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's run let's rewind. All you got married

736
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:03.720
<v Speaker 1>within a year of each other. I mean, that was

737
00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the most insane thing. I was very much against all

738
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:09.960
<v Speaker 1>of you getting married. I wanted you guys to live

739
00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:12.719
<v Speaker 1>life to the fullest, even though I do at this

740
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:14.880
<v Speaker 1>point in time, even though I'm married. I felt like

741
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:17.679
<v Speaker 1>I was saying, hey, guys, I mean, it's great to

742
00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:20.239
<v Speaker 1>be in somebody else's wedding, but you may want to

743
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:21.880
<v Speaker 1>pump the brakes on getting married.

744
00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:23.639
<v Speaker 3>No, we all live our lives with our wives.

745
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Now, Maddie, I met Maddie, except Maddie, except Mattie Seeger.

746
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:29.519
<v Speaker 1>I love Mattie Seeger.

747
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:31.719
<v Speaker 3>She made my life better. That's why we got married.

748
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:35.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she did. You need a woman that makes you better.

749
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:38.840
<v Speaker 1>My godfather said a woman will make you or break you,

750

<v Speaker 1>and Maddie Seeger has made you.

751
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:42.119
<v Speaker 3>She tries to break merry.

752
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:46.239
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I told you I live in the doghouse, you do,

753
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:49.199

754
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:51.719
<v Speaker 1>like the divorce is coming pretty soon too, right here.

755
00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:53.440
<v Speaker 3>At the place she got married.

756
00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:54.679
<v Speaker 5>You In a.

757
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:58.239
<v Speaker 1>Second, Hey, did you watch the World Series or no?

758
00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:01.360
<v Speaker 3>We were in Europe? So really yeah, so the time

759
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:02.559
<v Speaker 3>change was hard.

760
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:04.320
<v Speaker 1>But did you plan that you didn't want to see

761
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:05.039
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs?

762
00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:07.719
<v Speaker 3>No? No, no, no, I I was. I was excited

763
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:09.360
<v Speaker 3>for all those guys that over there. I was excited

764
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:11.320
<v Speaker 3>for the city, you know, not having to parade in

765
00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:13.400
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty. That's said. He deserved that. So it was

766
00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:15.400
<v Speaker 3>it was really cool to see it. It was it

767
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:17.679
<v Speaker 3>was awesome to uh just kind of live through him.

768
00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:19.039
<v Speaker 3>So it was a cool moment for them.

769
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:21.519
<v Speaker 1>How about Walker Buell or a guy you knew when

770
00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:24.000
<v Speaker 1>he first came up to see him have that moment

771
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:27.400
<v Speaker 1>feels like he was ready for when he had that

772
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:29.119
<v Speaker 1>final strikeout to give that pose.

773
00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:32.639
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, you know he he deserved that moment though. You

774
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:34.199
<v Speaker 3>know that that guy's been through a lot and to

775
00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:36.199
<v Speaker 3>be able to come back and compete. And that's the

776
00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:37.800
<v Speaker 3>guy you on the mountain. You know when we were

777
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:39.519
<v Speaker 3>when we were playing together, that's the guy we always

778
00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:42.159
<v Speaker 3>want on the mound. So he's a special person and

779
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:43.719
<v Speaker 3>the right guy for that spot.

780
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm a true believer in there are guys made for October.

781
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:50.599
<v Speaker 1>It seems like he is made for October.

782
00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:53.000
<v Speaker 3>He absolutely is made for October. There's a there's a

783
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:54.480
<v Speaker 3>game you need to win. That's the guy you want

784
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:54.960
<v Speaker 3>on the mountain.

00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:57.199
<v Speaker 1>Corey seekers the guy I want at the plate too.

786
00:35:57.599 --> 00:36:00.360
<v Speaker 3>I'd rather hit him on the mountain, Dang, I have both.

862
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:47.320
<v Speaker 1>you've gone.

867
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:01.320
<v Speaker 3>as you can. You know, you never expect anything. So

868
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:03.159
<v Speaker 3>to be where I am, it's it really is a

869
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:05.440
<v Speaker 3>blessing and couldn't have done it without people like you

870
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:06.960

881
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Absolutely, you know I think that's kind of the

882
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:37.519
<v Speaker 3>fortunate thing that I had for myself as a young guys.

883
00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:40.119
<v Speaker 3>I watched guys who did it the right way and

884
00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:43.559
<v Speaker 3>they let people be people, you know. They they understood

885
00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:46.280
<v Speaker 3>how I did it and got the best out of

886
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:47.760
<v Speaker 3>me and they let me do that, you know, and

887
00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:51.039
<v Speaker 3>just a blessing for me to be able to have

888
00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:52.800
<v Speaker 3>that and that point in my career. You know, you're

889
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:54.599
<v Speaker 3>still trying to figure it out. There's a lot going on,

890
00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:57.400
<v Speaker 3>there's things you don't know about, and they're just there

891
00:39:57.440 --> 00:39:59.079
<v Speaker 3>to help you and kind of keep you in line, right,

892
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:01.480
<v Speaker 3>So that was that was everything for me as a

893
00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:01.840
<v Speaker 3>young guy.

894
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:04.280
<v Speaker 1>For sure, I feel like he's told me this. He

895
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:07.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't look back at old starts. He just moves on

896
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:10.719
<v Speaker 1>to the next five day routine. I know, as a hitter,

897
00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:12.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe you want to look back at at bats, but

898
00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:15.039
<v Speaker 1>I get the sense from you it's the same thing.

899
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:18.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what I did to October's ago. I

900
00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:20.920
<v Speaker 1>don't care about the World Series. I don't care if

901
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I went zero for four or four for four yesterday.

902
00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:24.840
<v Speaker 1>You care about today.

903
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, It's it's all about today, right. We're judged at

904
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:29.639
<v Speaker 3>seven o'clock that night. You know that you were not

905
00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:32.639
<v Speaker 3>judged from seven o'clock to night before the next days.

906
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:34.719
<v Speaker 3>It's all about that day and winning that day, and

907
00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:37.480
<v Speaker 3>that team was really special about being able to just

908
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:39.639
<v Speaker 3>be in the moment and win that day, and that's

909
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:40.639
<v Speaker 3>what you have to do to be good.

910
00:40:41.079 --> 00:40:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Have you heard about rich Hill speaking of that. He

911
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:45.559
<v Speaker 1>was about being where your feet are. Yeah, he's pitching

912
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:47.000
<v Speaker 1>for Team USA right now.

913
00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:48.280
<v Speaker 3>I know, isn't that crazy?

914
00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean he wanted to keep pitching, and look, he

915
00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:54.880
<v Speaker 1>found a place exactly right. America's pitcher for America's team.

916
00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:57.559
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, he's going to be a beauty in that club. Man.

917
00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, I think they're in Tokyo right now.

918
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:01.159
<v Speaker 3>Are they really?

919
00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

920
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's cool. That's that's really cool. I bet he's

921
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:05.239
<v Speaker 3>actually enjoying that a lot.

922
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:07.519
<v Speaker 1>No doubt. Be where your feet are, Seeger, That's what

923
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Riche'll taught me.

924
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:10.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm being right here beside you. That's what I'm doing.

925
00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Nice. Nice, Thank you for coming by. Appreciate it, Corey

926
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:17.360

927
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:19.639
<v Speaker 1>say how to this guy. No chance, I never turned

928
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:22.039
<v Speaker 1>my back on this guy. There he goes one of

929
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:25.039
<v Speaker 1>our favorites, Cory Sieger. He's been out here every year

930
00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:28.599
<v Speaker 1>supporting Justin Turner, and he certainly is a champion himself.

931
00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:32.360
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna continue with more from Justin Turner's eighth annual

932
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:36.320
<v Speaker 1>golf tournament right here on five seventy LA Sports. A

933
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:39.719
<v Speaker 1>great Agora Hi Man has joined us here on Dodger Talk.

934
00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:43.719
<v Speaker 1>That is the one and only Tampa Bay Ray Johnny

935
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:48.239
<v Speaker 1>de Luca, who still got an extraordinary mustache even amongst

936
00:41:48.239 --> 00:41:51.440
<v Speaker 1>the people of Florida. Johnny d thanks a lot for

937
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:56.079
<v Speaker 1>coming on. Appreciate it. It feels like you you had

938
00:41:56.119 --> 00:41:58.760
<v Speaker 1>no choice to come on, but I appreciate you coming

939
00:41:58.800 --> 00:41:59.360
<v Speaker 1>on anyway.

940
00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:01.639
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I'm sort of mad right now, pissed off that

941
00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:04.079
<v Speaker 9>I'm not playing very good golf, but I'm on here

942
00:42:04.119 --> 00:42:04.599
<v Speaker 9>to talk to you.

943
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:07.119
<v Speaker 1>Are you a good golfer? Are you supposed to play good?

944
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:09.400
<v Speaker 9>I'm not supposed to play good, but it's still fun

945
00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:11.000
<v Speaker 9>to have a few good shots now.

946
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:13.280
<v Speaker 1>And then I was taken aback. I haven't seen you

947
00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:15.559
<v Speaker 1>since you were traded, and you're keeping receipts on me

948
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:17.360
<v Speaker 1>about a Travis Matthew speaker.

949
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:19.239
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, you didn't give me a speaker. I still got

950
00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:20.920
<v Speaker 9>that on you. I want to send to the.

951
00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:23.559
<v Speaker 1>House, dude, I sent it to Tropic cana Field. And

952
00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:25.760
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden, you guys are not playing there.

953
00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:32.159
<v Speaker 1>No way that I feel like you're gonna get it

954
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:34.440
<v Speaker 1>this year. It's somehow someway you're gonna.

955
00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Get it better.

956
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Hey, how was your first year in Tampa Bay? Like,

957
00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:40.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I was watching you. I was watching you.

958
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:44.480
<v Speaker 9>It was good, way different, great group of guys, obviously

959
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:47.360
<v Speaker 9>different atmosphere, but I had a ton of fun and

960
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:49.599
<v Speaker 9>was able to play a lot. And uh, yeah, it

961
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:49.960
<v Speaker 9>was great.

962
00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:52.519
<v Speaker 1>I guess bittersweet, right, you wanted to be part of

963
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:55.639
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers, but you've got an opportunity now to show

964
00:42:55.639 --> 00:42:57.039
<v Speaker 1>who you can be for sure.

965
00:42:57.119 --> 00:42:59.239
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I think that's just part of the game that

966
00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:01.840
<v Speaker 9>happens to everyone one and you got to be prepared

967
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:04.400
<v Speaker 9>for it. And I couldn't think of a better organization

968
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:07.719
<v Speaker 9>to take me in. And great people, great staff. I mean,

969
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:10.400
<v Speaker 9>both are great organizations that I was able to play for.

970
00:43:10.519 --> 00:43:12.840
<v Speaker 9>But I'm very fortunate, very blessed to be able to

971
00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:13.719
<v Speaker 9>play for them. Right now.

972
00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:16.639
<v Speaker 1>I got to meet Eric Neander for the first time actually,

973
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:19.800
<v Speaker 1>uh with Andrew Friedman the night they traded you and Pepio,

974
00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:23.639
<v Speaker 1>and he seems to be a really authentic guy that

975
00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:27.840
<v Speaker 1>has obviously the organization's best interests at heart, but does

976
00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:28.880
<v Speaker 1>care about the players.

977
00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:31.280
<v Speaker 9>Oh yeah, for sure, he spot on right there. Eric's

978
00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:33.639
<v Speaker 9>a great guy. He was always in the clubhouse, always

979
00:43:33.639 --> 00:43:37.360
<v Speaker 9>talking to the guys. So yeah, it's fun to play

980
00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:40.679
<v Speaker 9>for a guy like that, and you know, have that

981
00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:43.480
<v Speaker 9>those those brains in the back room being able to

982
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:46.000
<v Speaker 9>make those moves, someone you trust and someone who has

983
00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:48.719
<v Speaker 9>our back, and yeah, great, dude.

984
00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:52.679
<v Speaker 1>It's awesome that Johnny de Luca and PCA Pete Crow

985
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong are at Justin Turner's golf tournament. Because these two

986
00:43:56.920 --> 00:44:01.400
<v Speaker 1>guys made two three for the greatest I have ever seen.

987
00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:05.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, are you comparing notes with PCA over here?

988
00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Who had the better catches against the or for the

989
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers and against the Dodgers. You and Texas a few

990
00:44:11.239 --> 00:44:14.880
<v Speaker 1>different times at that Globalife Field Series, and he had

991
00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:17.519
<v Speaker 1>a few robberies at Dodgers Stadium in September.

992
00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:20.400
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, we haven't talked about it, but I think I

993
00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:22.199
<v Speaker 9>think I did see the highlights of his His are

994
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:26.119
<v Speaker 9>pretty good. So yeah, he's a He's a pretty crazy

995
00:44:26.159 --> 00:44:27.440
<v Speaker 9>athlete and fun guy to watch.

996
00:44:28.119 --> 00:44:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Who, by the way, are you grouped up with in

997
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:31.440
<v Speaker 1>this tournament.

998
00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:34.000
<v Speaker 9>I'm with the Darnault's and Jaren duran Oh.

999
00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know who the other Darnault was. They have

1000
00:44:36.519 --> 00:44:39.239
<v Speaker 1>great rounded faces, Like I mean, I feel like that's

1001
00:44:39.239 --> 00:44:40.119
<v Speaker 1>what separates them.

1002
00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:42.800
<v Speaker 9>Crush the golf ball, Yeah, very far, A lot farther

1003
00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:43.199
<v Speaker 9>than I can.

1004
00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:45.599
<v Speaker 1>It is. Both Darnault's hit it far, both of them.

1005
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:46.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

1006
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:49.679
<v Speaker 1>I saw them at the Breakfast burrito truck earlier this morning. Yeah,

1007
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:53.320
<v Speaker 1>they're way down Breakfast burritos. How about mustakas. He seems

1008
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:54.199
<v Speaker 1>very confused.

00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:57.119
<v Speaker 5>I have no idea.

00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:38.840
<v Speaker 6>was with Cal Raley. So as you can imagine those

1051
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:39.360
<v Speaker 6>boys at.

1052
00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:39.639
<v Speaker 5>The ball far.

1053
00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you play a lot of golf.

1054
00:46:41.639 --> 00:46:44.119
<v Speaker 6>As of recently the last year and a half, I have.

1055
00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:44.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

1056
00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:46.320
<v Speaker 6>I live out in Arizona now, so I play a

1057
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:47.480
<v Speaker 6>fair amount of golf out there.

1058
00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:50.199
<v Speaker 1>How is your life changed because Cubs fans they don't

1059
00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:53.199
<v Speaker 1>know how to act. They're wild fans. You can't just

1060
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:56.000
<v Speaker 1>walk down the street in Chicago. What's it been like

1061
00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:58.800
<v Speaker 1>for a guy that's humble, understated but confident.

1062
00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:02.960
<v Speaker 6>H It's a good question. I mean, yeah, Cubs fans

1063
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:06.800
<v Speaker 6>are nuts in the in all the best ways. I

1064
00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:10.039
<v Speaker 6>lived in Wrigleyville this year, so well, like I ended

1065
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:11.840
<v Speaker 6>up seeing a few familiar faces just walking on the

1066
00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:15.960
<v Speaker 6>street and stuff. And I mean you mentioned understated. I

1067
00:47:16.199 --> 00:47:19.280
<v Speaker 6>think Cubs fans also have a bit of of that

1068
00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:23.519
<v Speaker 6>in them as well. They're kind and respectful and and

1069
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:26.840
<v Speaker 6>love being out at the ballpark more than anything. And

1070
00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:29.679
<v Speaker 6>I think, uh, I think I just built a nice

1071
00:47:29.920 --> 00:47:32.199
<v Speaker 6>group of friends behind me in the bleachers in left

1072
00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:33.000
<v Speaker 6>center and right center.

1073
00:47:33.079 --> 00:47:35.159
<v Speaker 1>I bet you have with that glove that you got,

1074
00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:37.840
<v Speaker 1>you should win a goal glove multiple times here, p

1075
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Crow Armstrong. It feels like, uh, you're even surpassing Cody Bellinger,

1076
00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:48.000
<v Speaker 1>who was known for his great defense in center field. Uh.

1077
00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:50.280
<v Speaker 1>What's it like from a guy like that?

1078
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:53.000
<v Speaker 6>Uh? You know, I felt like I got it from

1079
00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:54.000
<v Speaker 6>him last year.

1080
00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:54.679
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

1081
00:47:54.719 --> 00:47:57.599
<v Speaker 6>He he kind of told me clear cut that that

1082
00:47:57.639 --> 00:47:59.920
<v Speaker 6>he wanted the center field to be my position and

1083
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:03.280
<v Speaker 6>that meant the world only because not to not to

1084
00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:05.280
<v Speaker 6>date Cody too much, but that was a guy that

1085
00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:08.719
<v Speaker 6>I watched for for a you know, solid four or

1086
00:48:08.719 --> 00:48:13.519
<v Speaker 6>five years growing up in LA not being a Dodger fan,

1087
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:16.199
<v Speaker 6>you know, it was easy to really enjoy watching Cody play.

1088
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:20.079
<v Speaker 6>So getting to take over his you know what is

1089
00:48:20.119 --> 00:48:22.159
<v Speaker 6>what is really how I remember him as a as

1090
00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:25.360
<v Speaker 6>a center fielder, taking over his position. It's a big

1091
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:26.920
<v Speaker 6>it's a big honor. I mean that. I don't take

1092
00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:29.440
<v Speaker 6>that lightly either, you know. I I love defense, and

1093
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:32.599
<v Speaker 6>I it's all I want to do every day is

1094
00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:34.239
<v Speaker 6>impact the game on the other side of the ball.

1095
00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:36.920
<v Speaker 6>But to be able to do it next to Cody

1096
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:39.079
<v Speaker 6>and next to Ian and be in the middle of

1097
00:48:39.159 --> 00:48:41.159
<v Speaker 6>a of a you know, pair of gold glovers, that's

1098
00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:43.320
<v Speaker 6>that's really cool. It makes me want that myself.

1099
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:45.559
<v Speaker 1>Man, you play with your hair on fire. I mean

1100
00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:49.400
<v Speaker 1>September tenth at Dodger Stadium, you saved the game for

1101
00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:51.400
<v Speaker 1>the Cups. I feel like that's one of the games

1102
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:54.360
<v Speaker 1>that will stand out to me all season long, just

1103
00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the insane catches you were making. Being a guy that

1104
00:48:57.480 --> 00:49:00.719
<v Speaker 1>grew up watching Cody Bellinger growing up a Dodger fan,

1105
00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:04.679
<v Speaker 1>in l A. I mean, how did that the experience? Yeah?

1106
00:49:04.719 --> 00:49:07.480
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely, I mean Showed had a great start too, Yeah,

1107
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:09.159
<v Speaker 6>Showed I had an amazing start.

1108
00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:09.599
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

1109
00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:12.320
<v Speaker 6>He was letting them put the ball in play, which

1110
00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:14.119
<v Speaker 6>is kind of what you need to do against the Dodgers,

1111
00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:17.760
<v Speaker 6>and he was he was competing really really all game.

1112
00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:21.599
<v Speaker 6>And then even that, even right before that play, Porter

1113
00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:23.800
<v Speaker 6>Porter Hodge having his little heart. I don't know if

1114
00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:26.800
<v Speaker 6>it was a if it's an, I don't know it was.

1115
00:49:26.840 --> 00:49:29.280
<v Speaker 6>It was something going on with Porter, and and it

1116
00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:32.599
<v Speaker 6>was serious. So being able to Yes.

1117
00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:33.559
<v Speaker 5>I let him drag me in here.

1118
00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:36.519
<v Speaker 1>Man, I couldn't even get past his table road. He

1119
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:39.679
<v Speaker 1>was just a turner. What a host? What a host

1120
00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:41.039
<v Speaker 1>driving my guests away?

1121
00:49:41.400 --> 00:49:43.960
<v Speaker 5>Listen, I carried this guy's show for like nine years.

1122
00:49:44.320 --> 00:49:46.679
<v Speaker 1>Hey, you be sitting here, you're just passing the torch

1123
00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to me.

1124
00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:48.719
<v Speaker 5>Now, man, I'll be the.

1125
00:49:49.159 --> 00:49:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he'll be back soon, that's right. But yeah, what

1126
00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:54.119
<v Speaker 1>an amazing game, right.

1127
00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:56.199
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that was just a good way to end that game.

1128
00:49:56.639 --> 00:49:59.039
<v Speaker 6>I mean, those are those are three big games that

1129
00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:01.280
<v Speaker 6>we played in LA that were you know, I think

1130
00:50:01.320 --> 00:50:03.480
<v Speaker 6>that third one was pretty impactful in terms of how

1131
00:50:03.480 --> 00:50:07.239
<v Speaker 6>our season ended. And you know, I we had opportunities

1132
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:09.559
<v Speaker 6>to take that whole series and and maybe go on

1133
00:50:09.679 --> 00:50:10.599
<v Speaker 6>to maybe go.

1134
00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:15.400
<v Speaker 1>On, where's he going? By the way, I.

1135
00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:18.840
<v Speaker 5>Think I'm done here. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

1136
00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Uh No.

1137
00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:22.280
<v Speaker 6>I mean that was just an important series. And I

1138
00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:24.800
<v Speaker 6>think when when I get into situations like that, and

1139
00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:28.280
<v Speaker 6>when I mean when our team got into situations that

1140
00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:31.440
<v Speaker 6>that felt pressed or you know, the big stressful kind

1141
00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:36.519
<v Speaker 6>of moments. I think the Cubs responded well. And I

1142
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:38.280
<v Speaker 6>don't know, I that was great to do it in

1143
00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:41.239
<v Speaker 6>Dodger Stadium. I thought the fans were rowdy and energetic,

1144
00:50:41.320 --> 00:50:43.320
<v Speaker 6>and they were They were making me want to go

1145
00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:45.320
<v Speaker 6>make every one of those plays. So and it's easy

1146
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:47.039
<v Speaker 6>doing it for show to too, you know, he keeps

1147
00:50:47.039 --> 00:50:50.360
<v Speaker 6>you locked in all game. And then for Porter two,

1148
00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:52.719
<v Speaker 6>Porter works his works his tail offs. So I mean,

1149
00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:54.679
<v Speaker 6>that's what I live for, That's what I wake up

1150
00:50:54.679 --> 00:50:54.920
<v Speaker 6>to do.

1151
00:50:54.880 --> 00:50:55.400
<v Speaker 3>In the morning.

1152
00:50:55.800 --> 00:50:58.800
<v Speaker 6>So it was nice to be able to execute simply put.

1153
00:50:58.719 --> 00:51:01.119
<v Speaker 1>So cool and Harvard was It's like known for pitching.

1154
00:51:01.480 --> 00:51:03.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad I hit her. A center fielder is putting

1155
00:51:03.639 --> 00:51:06.000
<v Speaker 1>them on the map. Yeah, come on, it's not just

1156
00:51:06.039 --> 00:51:08.559
<v Speaker 1>about Freed and gi Alito and Flaherty. Man.

1157
00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:10.519
<v Speaker 6>I know, man, those those three schmucks.

1158
00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they paved the way.

1159
00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:13.400
<v Speaker 4>That's what it is.

1160
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:15.320
<v Speaker 6>I'm glad I was able to be the and and

1161
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:18.280
<v Speaker 6>I'm not the first, you know, big league position player

1162
00:51:18.320 --> 00:51:20.519
<v Speaker 6>to come out of Arbor Westlake. We had a few

1163
00:51:20.519 --> 00:51:23.239
<v Speaker 6>before us, and I think what I'm looking to do

1164
00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:25.400
<v Speaker 6>is just be the one that sticks and and uh

1165
00:51:26.239 --> 00:51:30.519
<v Speaker 6>you know, makes Harvard Westlake known for for producing outfielders.

1166
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:32.800
<v Speaker 6>We have a really good group outfielders that came through

1167
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:36.760
<v Speaker 6>around my time and even past me. So you know,

1168
00:51:36.880 --> 00:51:39.239
<v Speaker 6>I think the outfield is the next next point of

1169
00:51:39.239 --> 00:51:41.000
<v Speaker 6>focus for Arbert Westlake. If I'm going to make any

1170
00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:41.880
<v Speaker 6>sort of prediction.

1171
00:51:41.840 --> 00:51:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Love it, Love it. Pee Crow Armstrong. You're not my

1172

<v Speaker 10>I was totally undercovered the whole time I was there.

1198
00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:05.559
<v Speaker 10>I was a local. Oh you couldn't have suggested otherwise.

1199
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:07.559
<v Speaker 1>So you're not just an agent, you find a way

1200
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:10.280
<v Speaker 1>to really get into the waves. And are you a

1201
00:53:10.320 --> 00:53:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Malibu surfer or are you an Orange County surfer? Now?

1202
00:53:13.480 --> 00:53:15.199
<v Speaker 10>I'm more of an Orange County surfer now, But while

1203
00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:17.559
<v Speaker 10>I was there, I mean loved it, love surfing Malibu

1204
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:19.880
<v Speaker 10>all the way up to County Line. Now it's more

1205
00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:22.760
<v Speaker 10>about Trestl's and San Clemente type waves.

1206
00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:25.599
<v Speaker 1>So, being a guy that went to college at Pepperdine,

1207
00:53:25.639 --> 00:53:28.960
<v Speaker 1>You've been obviously in the agency business for a long time.

1208
00:53:29.039 --> 00:53:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like Justin Turner has really ingratiated himself

1209
00:53:33.440 --> 00:53:36.239
<v Speaker 1>as one of the most popular Dodgers in the last

1210
00:53:36.280 --> 00:53:37.719
<v Speaker 1>forty to fifty years.

1211
00:53:38.079 --> 00:53:39.639
<v Speaker 10>No question about it. And you know, I grew up

1212
00:53:39.639 --> 00:53:42.000
<v Speaker 10>in Southern California, grew up a Dodger fan, and I

1213
00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:43.639
<v Speaker 10>have now been an agent for a long time, for

1214
00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:46.960
<v Speaker 10>over twenty years, believe it or not. And I've represented

1215
00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:49.320
<v Speaker 10>lots of great people and lots of great athletes and

1216
00:53:49.400 --> 00:53:52.639
<v Speaker 10>all kinds of different sports. And I'd say that nobody

1217
00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:55.599
<v Speaker 10>has made an impact quite the same way that Justin

1218
00:53:55.599 --> 00:53:58.039
<v Speaker 10>Turner has, and I think that impact is still felt,

1219
00:53:58.159 --> 00:53:59.960
<v Speaker 10>you know, in Los Angeles, really in all the southern

1220
00:53:59.840 --> 00:54:03.199
<v Speaker 10>California and really the most remarkable thing for me is,

1221
00:54:03.639 --> 00:54:06.400
<v Speaker 10>you know, as he's gotten into more of a transition

1222
00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:09.320
<v Speaker 10>into other markets, like making the move from being a

1223
00:54:09.519 --> 00:54:11.320
<v Speaker 10>you know, a face of the franchise in La to

1224
00:54:11.719 --> 00:54:14.760
<v Speaker 10>Boston is a huge move and with most players I represent,

1225
00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:17.800
<v Speaker 10>it would have been a difficult transition for Justin, I mean,

1226
00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:19.639
<v Speaker 10>as smooth as can be could have run for mayor

1227
00:54:19.639 --> 00:54:22.960
<v Speaker 10>of Boston with their yea being there. Similarly the transition

1228
00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:25.880
<v Speaker 10>to Toronto and then you know, even to Seattle. So

1229
00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:28.719
<v Speaker 10>I think you talk about a person who is just

1230
00:54:28.760 --> 00:54:31.159
<v Speaker 10>so open and welcoming, you know, a leader in the

1231
00:54:31.159 --> 00:54:33.719
<v Speaker 10>clubhouse right away, and a leader in the community. And

1232
00:54:33.840 --> 00:54:36.119
<v Speaker 10>you know, that's what we're here celebrating, is how he

1233
00:54:36.159 --> 00:54:39.360
<v Speaker 10>and Courtney are such leaders, you know, in the community

1234
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:42.280
<v Speaker 10>and just lead by example and managed to have a

1235
00:54:42.280 --> 00:54:45.320
<v Speaker 10>great life, you know, and whatever city they wind up in.

1236
00:54:45.639 --> 00:54:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I know, players start foundations, and sometimes players are more

1237
00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:53.239
<v Speaker 1>involved in those foundations than others. But I think back

1238
00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:56.679
<v Speaker 1>to the pandemic when everything was shut down and Justin

1239
00:54:56.760 --> 00:54:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and Courtney were taking money out of their own pocket

1240
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:02.559
<v Speaker 1>to feed people out there in Echo Park. There were

1241
00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:05.280
<v Speaker 1>for a few different places and kids that you know

1242
00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:08.480
<v Speaker 1>usually got free lunches at school, they would find their

1243
00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:11.440
<v Speaker 1>way to wherever. Justin and Courtney, we're trying to feed

1244
00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the city. What do you when you think back to

1245
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that time, is that unheard of for a player to

1246
00:55:16.039 --> 00:55:17.119
<v Speaker 1>go to those extents?

1247
00:55:18.159 --> 00:55:20.719
<v Speaker 10>It is incredibly unheard of. And so you know, we

1248
00:55:20.760 --> 00:55:23.159
<v Speaker 10>as an agency are always really encouraging our clients to

1249
00:55:23.159 --> 00:55:26.400
<v Speaker 10>get involved in philanthropy, and we actively get involved with

1250
00:55:26.400 --> 00:55:29.880
<v Speaker 10>our clients. But I've never seen, you know, an athlete

1251
00:55:29.880 --> 00:55:34.039
<v Speaker 10>I've represented or otherwise where they were more involved in

1252
00:55:34.239 --> 00:55:36.280
<v Speaker 10>their own foundation and not only making it a great

1253
00:55:36.280 --> 00:55:39.559
<v Speaker 10>foundation with great events, but I mean personally carrying the

1254
00:55:39.639 --> 00:55:42.199
<v Speaker 10>load and I mean that financial yess you just mentioned,

1255
00:55:42.239 --> 00:55:46.119
<v Speaker 10>but also from a labor standpoint, like themselves showing up, running,

1256
00:55:46.800 --> 00:55:50.239
<v Speaker 10>delivering you know, much needed things to the beneficiarias of

1257
00:55:50.280 --> 00:55:54.039
<v Speaker 10>their different endeavors. It's truly remarkable. And I remember, I'm

1258
00:55:54.079 --> 00:55:56.719
<v Speaker 10>always I don't do this anymore, but you know, ten

1259
00:55:56.800 --> 00:55:58.599
<v Speaker 10>years ago I would offer up all these people to

1260
00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:00.559
<v Speaker 10>help and this and then like, no, no, this is

1261
00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:03.159
<v Speaker 10>what we do, right, you know, we run this, We

1262
00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:06.360
<v Speaker 10>personally do this because that's their passion. You know, Justin

1263
00:56:06.400 --> 00:56:08.119
<v Speaker 10>would say, you know, I you know, I'm not going

1264
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:11.239
<v Speaker 10>on surfing trips like you. Yeah, I'm not like a

1265
00:56:11.239 --> 00:56:12.639
<v Speaker 10>golfer trying to get to scratch.

1266
00:56:12.719 --> 00:56:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1267
00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:14.440
<v Speaker 10>This is how this is how I want to spend

1268
00:56:14.440 --> 00:56:16.519
<v Speaker 10>my free time. And so he and Courtney you have

1269
00:56:16.599 --> 00:56:18.199
<v Speaker 10>just really dedicated their lives to it.

1270
00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:21.519
<v Speaker 1>Greg Gensky is our guest. He is from Vanners Sports.

1271
00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:24.079
<v Speaker 1>He's one of the biggest agents in all of sports

1272
00:56:24.079 --> 00:56:26.719
<v Speaker 1>in Major League Baseball, and he represents our very own

1273
00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:29.519
<v Speaker 1>Justin Turner. So you're the perfect guy to ask the

1274
00:56:29.599 --> 00:56:33.760
<v Speaker 1>question that I'm always asked. Greg. He's a free agent again,

1275
00:56:34.119 --> 00:56:36.960
<v Speaker 1>everybody wants to know, is there any chance Justin Turner

1276
00:56:37.039 --> 00:56:39.239
<v Speaker 1>comes back to the Dodgers. I know it's hard for

1277
00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:42.800
<v Speaker 1>players to go back to where they were, but what

1278
00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:45.480
<v Speaker 1>is the future for Justin Turner and free agency?

1279
00:56:46.039 --> 00:56:48.159
<v Speaker 10>Well, you know, this free agency period is going to

1280
00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:50.440
<v Speaker 10>be a very active one for Justin. There are a

1281
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:52.800
<v Speaker 10>number of teams that are interested, and you know we're

1282
00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:55.079
<v Speaker 10>going to continue to have those conversations. And you know,

1283
00:56:55.079 --> 00:56:57.480
<v Speaker 10>it's really fun with Justin in free agency because not

1284
00:56:57.559 --> 00:56:59.559
<v Speaker 10>only is he the performer on the field with an

1285
00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:02.320
<v Speaker 10>incredible track record, but you've got a lot of teams

1286
00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:04.679
<v Speaker 10>that have a chance to win, and those teams are

1287
00:57:04.719 --> 00:57:06.719
<v Speaker 10>interested in Justin for what he brings to the clubhouse,

1288
00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:10.280
<v Speaker 10>you know, that kind of stabilizing force and really setting

1289
00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:12.719
<v Speaker 10>the right tone and the right example for younger players.

1290
00:57:13.199 --> 00:57:14.800
<v Speaker 10>So he's got a number of teams that are interested.

1291
00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:17.199
<v Speaker 10>We're gonna take our time, play it out and make

1292
00:57:17.239 --> 00:57:19.440
<v Speaker 10>sure we make the best decision we can. And you

1293
00:57:19.480 --> 00:57:22.559
<v Speaker 10>can count on having a chance to win being probably

1294
00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:24.719
<v Speaker 10>the top priority for Justin as always.

1295
00:57:24.880 --> 00:57:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you're going to be representing Justin beyond

1296
00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:30.559
<v Speaker 1>his playing career because so many people around the Dodgers

1297
00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:35.119
<v Speaker 1>saw a managerial future. Do you foresee that as well?

1298
00:57:35.159 --> 00:57:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do you see this partnership with Justin and

1299
00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:41.719
<v Speaker 1>you representing him going into that area of baseball where

1300
00:57:41.760 --> 00:57:43.280
<v Speaker 1>he's a manager one day?

1301
00:57:43.760 --> 00:57:46.679
<v Speaker 10>Man, I'm always going to be a part of this

1302
00:57:46.960 --> 00:57:49.679
<v Speaker 10>Justin Turner foundation, you know, this Justin Turner career and

1303
00:57:50.440 --> 00:57:53.400
<v Speaker 10>professional life and friendship. You know, I'm really fortunate to

1304
00:57:53.559 --> 00:57:56.079
<v Speaker 10>have gotten on this journey with him right out of

1305
00:57:56.079 --> 00:57:58.320
<v Speaker 10>cal State Fullerton, and it's been a long journey so far,

1306
00:57:58.320 --> 00:58:00.320
<v Speaker 10>and I think it's gonna be a lot longer. And

1307
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:03.159
<v Speaker 10>you know, whether it's a business you know, interests that

1308
00:58:03.199 --> 00:58:06.719
<v Speaker 10>we align in and continue to work together on a

1309
00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:09.159
<v Speaker 10>career post playing and managing. I'm sure all of those

1310
00:58:09.159 --> 00:58:11.920
<v Speaker 10>are going to be options available to him, broadcasting, et cetera.

1311
00:58:11.960 --> 00:58:13.639
<v Speaker 10>And it's going to be, you know, really fun to

1312
00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:16.920
<v Speaker 10>continue working with him and going through these different opportunities

1313
00:58:16.920 --> 00:58:18.800
<v Speaker 10>and you know, really enjoying this journey with him.

1314
00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:23.599
<v Speaker 1>So, Vyner Sports known for baseball, but you're expanding the portfolio.

1315
00:58:23.719 --> 00:58:25.920
<v Speaker 1>You just signed your first NBA player.

1316
00:58:26.079 --> 00:58:28.000
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, we did. We were fortunately we signed Brandon Miller

1317
00:58:28.039 --> 00:58:31.079
<v Speaker 10>the Charlotte Hornets. Really happy and excited to be an NBA.

1318
00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:31.760
<v Speaker 1>You know.

1319
00:58:31.800 --> 00:58:35.719
<v Speaker 10>We also represent about fifty NFL players, wow, and about

1320
00:58:35.719 --> 00:58:37.559
<v Speaker 10>forty UFC fighters. In fact, I was just at the

1321
00:58:37.599 --> 00:58:38.800
<v Speaker 10>fights of Madison Square Guard.

1322
00:58:38.880 --> 00:58:39.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1323
00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:42.639
<v Speaker 10>Unfortunately my guys Stipe did not prevail. But yeah, it's

1324
00:58:42.639 --> 00:58:44.679
<v Speaker 10>a lot of fun at Vander Sports. Were involved in

1325
00:58:44.719 --> 00:58:47.159
<v Speaker 10>a lot of different sports, a lot of different endeavors

1326
00:58:47.639 --> 00:58:48.800
<v Speaker 10>and just really enjoying it.

1327
00:58:49.159 --> 00:58:52.119
<v Speaker 1>When you look at the landscape of Major League Baseball, Greg,

1328
00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:55.400
<v Speaker 1>you're on the agent side, you're for the players. Obviously,

1329
00:58:55.719 --> 00:58:58.039
<v Speaker 1>there's been so much talk the last couple of years

1330
00:58:58.079 --> 00:59:02.559
<v Speaker 1>about players health, pitchers health, specifically as far as Tommy

1331
00:59:02.679 --> 00:59:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Johns and the growing number of Tommy John's happening in

1332
00:59:05.840 --> 00:59:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Major League Baseball, have you and your team had a

1333
00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:12.079
<v Speaker 1>chance to digest it, and what's the balance between for

1334
00:59:12.159 --> 00:59:15.079
<v Speaker 1>a player, team versus my health.

1335
00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:18.400
<v Speaker 10>Well, we need changes, right, I'm not alone in saying

1336
00:59:18.400 --> 00:59:20.679
<v Speaker 10>this and coming out very publicly to say that we

1337
00:59:20.719 --> 00:59:23.679
<v Speaker 10>need changes. Right. The continued emphasis on the radar gun

1338
00:59:23.719 --> 00:59:27.480
<v Speaker 10>and on spin rates and just you know, has players

1339
00:59:27.519 --> 00:59:29.719
<v Speaker 10>looking to light up machines all the time rather than

1340
00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:34.039
<v Speaker 10>focusing on longevity and performance necessarily in the game. And

1341
00:59:34.079 --> 00:59:35.679
<v Speaker 10>so I think changes need to be made. And I

1342
00:59:35.679 --> 00:59:38.280
<v Speaker 10>think that there's a lot of influential people around the

1343
00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:41.000
<v Speaker 10>game that are making this argument in a very compelling fashion.

1344
00:59:41.000 --> 00:59:43.280
<v Speaker 10>I know that my good friend Keith Meister, yeah, the

1345
00:59:43.320 --> 00:59:46.320
<v Speaker 10>doctor from TMI out of Dallas, is really making the

1346
00:59:46.360 --> 00:59:49.440
<v Speaker 10>case with empirical evidence, trying to convince teams that for

1347
00:59:49.559 --> 00:59:51.400
<v Speaker 10>the long term health of the game, we need to

1348
00:59:51.400 --> 00:59:53.599
<v Speaker 10>focus on the long term health of the pitchers. And

1349
00:59:53.679 --> 00:59:55.280
<v Speaker 10>so I think these changes are going to be made,

1350
00:59:55.320 --> 00:59:57.039
<v Speaker 10>and I'm really looking forward to that.

1351
00:59:57.159 --> 00:59:59.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, Jim Palmer told me his idea would be

1352
01:00:00.079 --> 01:00:02.199
<v Speaker 1>get rid of the track man machines, the first two

1353
01:00:02.320 --> 01:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>or three weeks of spring training where guys aren't trying

1354
01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to impress on the radar gun, they're just easing into throwing.

1355
01:00:09.800 --> 01:00:12.199
<v Speaker 10>I think that's an excellent idea, and I would also

1356
01:00:12.320 --> 01:00:14.199
<v Speaker 10>encourage guys in their off season training to give it

1357
01:00:14.199 --> 01:00:15.960
<v Speaker 10>a break too, because now you have a lot of

1358
01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:18.400
<v Speaker 10>these high end facilities that have the machines plugged in.

1359
01:00:18.440 --> 01:00:22.199
<v Speaker 10>It's the off season. Yeah, you got pictures incredibly focused

1360
01:00:22.239 --> 01:00:24.559
<v Speaker 10>on it, and look they're looking at it. The pictures

1361
01:00:24.599 --> 01:00:26.320
<v Speaker 10>are looking at it. Is this is how I'm gonna

1362
01:00:26.320 --> 01:00:28.280
<v Speaker 10>get paid down the line, right, It's not going to

1363
01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:30.599
<v Speaker 10>be just about how I perform on the field and

1364
01:00:30.639 --> 01:00:32.239
<v Speaker 10>getting guys out, but it's going to be how do

1365
01:00:32.320 --> 01:00:34.320
<v Speaker 10>I do it right? What kind of numbers do I

1366
01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:35.320
<v Speaker 10>have while I'm doing it?

1367
01:00:35.800 --> 01:00:39.079
<v Speaker 1>And if teams would pay for going deeper into games,

1368
01:00:39.119 --> 01:00:40.719
<v Speaker 1>pictures would train that way.

1369
01:00:40.639 --> 01:00:43.760
<v Speaker 10>One hundred percent. That's exactly right. And then you wonder, too,

1370
01:00:43.920 --> 01:00:46.559
<v Speaker 10>is like, at this time right now in our MLB

1371
01:00:46.639 --> 01:00:49.480
<v Speaker 10>salary arbitrations, you're not seeing the introduction of that sort

1372
01:00:49.519 --> 01:00:52.719
<v Speaker 10>of evidence. But you wonder if that starts to enter

1373
01:00:52.800 --> 01:00:54.719
<v Speaker 10>in down the road, that could have even a more

1374
01:00:54.760 --> 01:00:56.079
<v Speaker 10>detrimental effect of pictures.

1375
01:00:56.280 --> 01:00:57.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, Greg, great to see you.

1376
01:00:58.119 --> 01:01:00.239
<v Speaker 10>It's great to see you as always. And you know,

1377
01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:02.239
<v Speaker 10>I'm not gonna lie a little disappointed that Matt Money

1378
01:01:02.679 --> 01:01:05.079
<v Speaker 10>wasn't he You said that already, Greg, did I mention that?

1379
01:01:05.320 --> 01:01:08.519
<v Speaker 10>I mean, come on, Greg, tris, gees petros, A little

1380
01:01:08.519 --> 01:01:10.719
<v Speaker 10>bit goes along. Oh man, I'm glad he's not here.

1381

1383
01:01:16.440 --> 01:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I could woo them over to LA.

<v Speaker 10>That sounds great. Thanks for having me see.

01:02:50.440 --> 01:02:53.880

1413
01:02:53.920 --> 01:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>believe is the beginning of a dynasty. They have two

1414
01:02:57.079 --> 01:03:00.960
<v Speaker 1>championships already in this decade looking for more. So it's
