Speaker 3: We're in traffic right now, but we are pumped, dude,
Speaker 3: we are pumped. I feel like I've been waiting for this.
Speaker 3: Twenty seventeen was a heartbreak year. Twenty twenty nobody gives
Speaker 3: us credit. Hey man, everybody played twenty twenty. Everybody had
Speaker 3: the same chance and we took it. I think this
Speaker 3: is the nail in the coffin, just to shut everybody up.
Speaker 3: And oh, oh Tani this you guys are gonna win
Speaker 3: because of that guy. It was Otani got us to
Speaker 3: the postseason. But players stepped up like Tommy Edmund Maximunci
Speaker 3: and the NLCS. It's crazy, dude, This this depth is
Speaker 3: crazy and Dodgers aren't even at their best yet. Wait
Speaker 3: till next year. It's gonna go down. And another thing too,
Speaker 3: man Fernando Valenzuela, he was the Grand Marshal at a
Speaker 3: Zuza Golden Days last year.
Speaker 10: That dude was cool with everybody.

Speaker 3: for him, and just go Dodgers, bro. I know everybody's
Speaker 3: feeling great right now. I might be a little hungover
Speaker 3: on the way to work, but hey, well worth the boys,
Speaker 3: because you know what we are, twenty four champions. Let's
Speaker 3: go Dodgers, baby.
Speaker 4: Awesome Alex drinking coffee, get some food in you.
Speaker 6: Probably would have had that coffee before you got in
Speaker 6: the car.

Speaker 4: Let's hope two hands on the wheel and somebody else
Speaker 4: is driving for you right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I hope he kept a classy last night too, right,
Speaker 6: you want to be good.
Speaker 4: We did lose an MTA bus last night to a
Speaker 4: fire that was set upon by Dodger fans celebrating in
Speaker 4: Echo Park. So we lost one of the buses from
Speaker 4: the MTA last night.
Speaker 6: So no in this situation, we don't want to start fires. Actually,
Speaker 6: we need mechanic groups to help build up the buses
Speaker 6: that are not going well. Right, That's what we had
Speaker 6: to do. Instead of starting a fire, Let's fix a bus. Absolutely,
Speaker 6: that would be the better thing. We had a lot
Speaker 6: of celebration in Echo Park in East LA last night.
Speaker 6: A bus that went up in flames.
Speaker 4: We saw fireworks going up in the in the streets
Speaker 4: of East LA and Echo Park. We may have had
Speaker 4: somebody to lose a hand with a firework as well,
Speaker 4: according to the Fox eleven News. So yeah, it's been
Speaker 4: a costly celebration for at least one Dodger fan.
Speaker 5: Well, it's not going to be that way tomorrow.
Speaker 4: No, absolutely, It's going to be a celebration on the lawn,
Speaker 4: the parade route from City Hall all the way to

Speaker 13: like to congratulate Dave Roberts and thank him for doing
Speaker 13: a magnificent job of managing the playoffs. He received so
Speaker 13: much undue criticism over the years, and he was a
Speaker 13: he was a true leader out there of our team.
Speaker 13: I'd like to recognize Daves ay for his great playoff
Speaker 13: insight and hopefully he can have a little bit of
Speaker 13: insight on what the conversation was when Dave walked out,
Speaker 13: because I thought, uh, it might have been time to
Speaker 13: pull them, but his uh, his as he walked out,
Speaker 13: his body language was different than normal, and uh, when
Speaker 13: he walked away, I had confidence like like he told
Speaker 13: me that by believe in you, trusting you and let's
Speaker 13: go get him and h that's what Uh, that's what happened.
Speaker 13: And I'd also like to recognize the Panic Brothers who

Speaker 4: Dodgers all right, Angel, appreciate that, man. Yeah, that's uh,
Speaker 4: it's well said. I'm watching the Dodger players come off
Speaker 4: it's like a clown car. This United Airlines. Uh, probably
Speaker 4: a seven sixty seven. It's humongous, and there's just kids
Speaker 4: and family members and people coming off this plane. It's
Speaker 4: it's unbelievable how many people they fitted in.
Speaker 5: Anybody dressed up Halloween style.
Speaker 4: No, a lot of sleepy heads coming off that plane.
Speaker 6: A lot of Uh they didn't get late because his celebration,
Speaker 6: so they got out extra late.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: A lot of hoodies being worn right now by players
Speaker 4: coming off the plane. A lot of sleepy kids coming
Speaker 4: off the plane and family members. So yeah, a lot
Speaker 4: of people gathering. They got food with them. Looks that
Speaker 4: they give him a little breakfast on the way out.
Speaker 4: And there's a bunch of buses lined up on the
Speaker 4: tarmac there at LAX. David Vast is going to join
Speaker 4: us as soon as he can. I wait and see.
Speaker 4: When Dave gets off the plane. Uh, probably at the
Speaker 4: back of the airplane.
Speaker 6: They've noticed a big head of dark hair, you know,
Speaker 6: rick Ycardo style.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, looking really good. Oh yeah, he's got to
Speaker 4: be dressed up. I mean he's always probably well, you know,
Speaker 4: he got dowsed last night in the locker room, right. Oh,
Speaker 4: he got he got smothered with the champagne. So did
Speaker 4: he bring a change? That might be one of our questions.
Speaker 4: I mean, how did he how did he get you know,
Speaker 4: spank and clean yeah with you know, what did he
Speaker 4: did he shower up in there or what did he do?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 4: That's that's a great question. The people disembarking on this
Speaker 4: right now that they're showing on Fox eleven, just just
Speaker 4: everybody knows that is the traveling party's plane. There are
Speaker 4: multiple planes that went out for the Dodgers. Wow, and
Speaker 4: the player plane. I'm just being told by somebody who's
Speaker 4: actually on just got off the plane that the players
Speaker 4: did in fact take their own flight back their The
Speaker 4: staff front off his family plane, and there's the player's plane,
Speaker 4: and the player's plane is coming back right now. And
Speaker 4: I'll go ahead and say it. Uh, it's they're using
Speaker 4: the Patriots team plane. That's that's Robert Kraft. Let the
Speaker 4: Dodgers cool use the Patriots team plane. So if you
Speaker 4: see it at Lax right now, that is the Dodgers
Speaker 4: that have landed at Lax, not the New England Patriots.
Speaker 4: They're using their plane. So yeah, very cool to see
Speaker 4: what's happening?
Speaker 6: You know, I did just think about how Dave Vassa
Speaker 6: could have cleaned up real quick, but that he could
Speaker 6: have used a Skunky.
Speaker 1: Oh the Skunkys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh, I love the Skunkys.
Speaker 1: Use it. I see the commercial about thousand times.
Speaker 6: I've seen the skunky, and he he might have had
Speaker 6: a skunky clean up.
Speaker 4: You never know, I think, so that is awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 4: the skunky. I have never used it.
Speaker 6: But but how you do your hair with the skunky?
Speaker 6: I mean, I know the body part, but I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't know about how you clean the hair up.
Speaker 4: I think the hair just goes messy. The hair stays oily. Yeah,
Speaker 4: there's no help in the hair at all. Probably Austin
Speaker 4: Valencia is next up here, waiting patiently on Han Fhi
Speaker 4: seventy l A Sports.
Speaker 1: How you doing, Austin?
Speaker 9: Good?
Speaker 11: Let's go.
Speaker 5: All right?

Speaker 9: Is that it?
Speaker 1: There?
Speaker 5: You go?
Speaker 1: You're back, Go ahead, Austin.
Speaker 8: I golf with Robert dan Skoyak. He's their hitting coach.
Speaker 8: Nice and here I was playing with him and we
Speaker 8: started the round. He was kind of quiet, and then
Speaker 8: he shanks one and you just yelled how.
Speaker 9: Did we lose to the time of acts are so bad?
Speaker 8: And so I'm happy for him. This year, I think
Speaker 8: the Dodgers' hitters just really came prepared, their walks, their patience,
Speaker 8: everyone contributed. It was just really good to see. I'm
Speaker 8: really happy for him, and congratulations. You guys are awesome.
Speaker 8: I've been listening to you all year, so it's been

Speaker 16: say two things. The first thing was I'm so happy
Speaker 16: for Kershaw. His ring was stolen in twenty twenty seventeen.
Speaker 16: This one's for him, just you know, some vindication from
Speaker 16: something that was truly stolen from him. Second thing I
Speaker 16: wanted to say is I want to say thank you
Speaker 16: to Freddie Free and everything that happened with him and
Speaker 16: his family and his son. I was at Game one
Speaker 16: with my dad, and it's it's a thing that I'm

Speaker 4: with the team. I think he's on the team plane.
Speaker 4: To be honest with you. He just said, we're still taxing,
Speaker 4: and the only plane left still taxing.
Speaker 5: Is a Dodger.
Speaker 4: Is the Patriots team playing with the Dodgers on it.
Speaker 4: I don't think David Vassa was put on the friends
Speaker 4: and family plane.
Speaker 6: No, And he's not gonna skunk sacks in Kate's in
Speaker 6: the morning, He's just not he better not no, he won.
Speaker 4: It's Saxon Kate's in the am. Twenty minutes to go

Speaker 4: parade through the streets of downtown La. Then the ticket
Speaker 4: at celebration at Dodgers Stadium, presented by Yamavah. We are
Speaker 4: your home of the Dodgers, AFI seven LA Sports.
Speaker 1: Your calls. David Vassa next on a FI seventy.
Speaker 4: Sax and Kates in the am. We're celebrating the World
Speaker 4: Series Championship. We have the best coverage, the most exclusive coverage,
Speaker 4: and the best insider. Who is d planing right now
Speaker 4: at lax our own David Vassay, Welcome home.
Speaker 11: It's great to be home. The Dodgers have just landed.
Speaker 11: The players are coming off the plane. I'm watching t
Speaker 11: k Hernandez, Sho hey Otani, tay Oscar Hernandez come off
Speaker 11: the plane right now. There's a lot of airport workers
Speaker 11: here to greet the Dodgers. When the team plane landed,
Speaker 11: the Lax Fire Department hosed down the plane and this
Speaker 11: World Championship wouldn't have happened without Key k Hernandez and
Speaker 11: Walker Buehler, the two guys that always seemed to come
Speaker 11: to the rescue when the Dodgers needed the most.
Speaker 4: Dave, what was that flight like back after the celebration
Speaker 4: that you were so great in covering in the clubhouse,
Speaker 4: the celebration in and out of the dugout as well?
Speaker 4: What was the flight like back the last five hours?
Speaker 11: Yeah, so I was. There were two planes. There was
Speaker 11: a staff plane, and I was on the plane that
Speaker 11: had the players in the trophy. And it was a
Speaker 11: party for the first three hours, and then guys started
Speaker 11: to fall asleep. The one guy that stayed awake the
Speaker 11: entire time and took pictures of his teammates falling asleep
Speaker 11: with none other than the man that came up big
Speaker 11: to close out the world series Walker Viewer. He was
Speaker 11: really excited. He's coming off the plane right now holding
Speaker 11: the trophies.
Speaker 6: Wow, Hey, Dave, good to be with you, buddy. Uh,
Speaker 6: I got a couple of quick ones. Uh part Hey,
Speaker 6: how did you get ready for the trip? Did you
Speaker 6: use a skunky or were you able to shower in there?
Speaker 1: What'd you do?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 11: I just run a towel side myself. Bop splashed some
Speaker 11: water on my face and on my hair. I had
Speaker 11: a change of clothes. Huh and uh yeah, that's that's
Speaker 11: how That's how I rode home.
Speaker 5: Okay, Dave.
Speaker 6: Defining moments in this final game, there were there were
Speaker 6: quite a few of them between the Judge era. I
Speaker 6: think when Dave Roberts walked out there to the mound,
Speaker 6: I was fifty to fifty on it. But when he
Speaker 6: pounded on the chest, looked him in the eye and said,
Speaker 6: I trust you, that had to be a defining moment
Speaker 6: for this organization.
Speaker 11: Without a doubt. That's Dave Roberts showing his players. He's
Speaker 11: talked about it. He wants to go out to the
Speaker 11: mound and look at look in the player's eyes and
Speaker 11: see what they've got. And can't say enough about Blake trying,
Speaker 11: can't say enough about what Rocker Buehler did. I mean,
Speaker 11: think about where this guy was just a month ago
Speaker 11: and now he's closing out the World Series for the Dodgers.
Speaker 11: Remarkable parade.
Speaker 4: Tomorrow, David's just deplaying with the Dodgers as they land
Speaker 4: at lax Walker Bueler walking off the stairs with the
Speaker 4: trophy in hand. Dave, what does the rest of the
Speaker 4: day look like for this Dodgers team is a day
Speaker 4: of rest, a day of decompressing.
Speaker 1: What's the next the next few hours.
Speaker 11: Here, Yeah, that's exactly what it is. They're gonna get
Speaker 11: some time to reconnect with their family, enjoy Halloween, and
Speaker 11: be ready for the parade tomorrow.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I feel like today is the day of just regrouping
Speaker 11: and getting ready for a party tomorrow in La Dave.
Speaker 4: Real quick, just how special group being around them. You
Speaker 4: heard everything they had to say about coming together for
Speaker 4: three and a half weeks and putting everything to the side.
Speaker 4: This group in particular. You've been around a lot of
Speaker 4: Dodger teams the last twelve years. What is this group like?
Speaker 11: It's a team? Tim If anybody listened to Dodger talk
Speaker 11: the last two months of the regular season, I don't
Speaker 11: usually say things that I don't believe. I believed in
Speaker 11: this team because of being around them, knowing how much
Speaker 11: they kept each other accountable all year long, and then
Speaker 11: really recognizing where they went wrong each of the last
Speaker 11: two years. And you've heard the stories how guys like
Speaker 11: Max Munsey, Will Smith, Mookie Bets, they got guys together
Speaker 11: and said, look, we need you, all of you everything
Speaker 11: for three and a half weeks. It wasn't going to
Speaker 11: guarantee anything, but that just showed how much these guys
Speaker 11: wanted it. They were tired of being called regular season champions,
Speaker 11: and they wanted to change the narratives. And Mookie Betts
Speaker 11: since spring training was telling me it's about October, it's
Speaker 11: about redemption. These guys were on a mission. It's not
Speaker 11: just It wasn't about o'tammy. It was about the guys
Speaker 11: that were here the last two years that really wanted
Speaker 11: to make amends and redeem themselves and change the narratives.
Speaker 4: Dave, great coverage all season long, great coverage during this
Speaker 4: place at playoffs last night, was tremendous inside the Dodgers'
Speaker 4: clubhouse on the field as well. Congratulations to you on
Speaker 4: a job well done. Great to see you back home
Speaker 4: in La enjoying some time with the family tonight, and
Speaker 4: we'll talk in the next couple hours, I'm sure, and
Speaker 4: tomorrow the parade.
Speaker 11: All right, guys, Franks.
Speaker 1: Thanks, Hey, there he goes, David Vasse.
Speaker 4: Nowhere else are you getting somebody walking off the team plane?
Speaker 4: Nowhere de playing with the Dodgers who are champions and
Speaker 4: giving you play by play from the tarmac as Walker
Speaker 4: Bueler comes off the plane.
Speaker 6: Nowhere else You're gonna get it, and this is ben
Speaker 6: and amazing run. And as kind of the music settles in, Tim,
Speaker 6: you get a little bit of feel of loneliness, maybe
Speaker 6: as scam is going to be departing and going their
Speaker 6: separate ways, old in voice, not in spirit until we
Speaker 6: meet again.
Speaker 5: Tim. It's been a remarkable run and a remarkable time
Speaker 5: with you.
Speaker 4: It's been tremendous. You never know how long these will last.
Speaker 4: Deep runs like in seventeen and eighteen and twenty, short
Speaker 4: runs like in nineteen getting bounced by the Nationals, or
Speaker 4: last year or last year losing to the Diamondbacks, or
Speaker 4: the year before losing to the San Diego Padres, to
Speaker 4: get to a Game five, to be down two to
Speaker 4: one to the Padres. This year, thinking it's all going
Speaker 4: to come to an end quickly again to get the
Speaker 4: Mets in the NLCS, and to think, I don't know
Speaker 4: is this going to happen? The way they lost the
Speaker 4: city feel having to come back to Dodger Stadium with
Speaker 4: all the momentum back towards the Mets.
Speaker 1: Well they get to a World Series.
Speaker 4: They did and then to finish it off in five
Speaker 4: games like they did last night. It has been a
Speaker 4: magical run. We're so honored to bring it to you

Speaker 4: Dodgers team, and to see if they can run it
Speaker 4: back in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6: Tim, you know what's scary. This team might be better
Speaker 6: next year. That's a scary thought.
Speaker 1: Hands down on paper, right, they will be better, Yeah.
Speaker 4: And expectations will be equally as high yep to defend
Speaker 4: this championship. And they're gonna get run from the Padres
Speaker 4: who are gonna be chomping at the bet. Yet again.
