1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: It's camp I am six forty and you're listening to

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. I

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: watch Game seven of the World Series from start to finish,

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: and I still at the end of it am stunned

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: that the Dodgers won that game. And a guy that

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: was there for every inning of every playoff game and

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: every regular season game, David Vasse. Hi you boff, Hey,

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, Conway Man. So David Vasse comes in

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: and he's got somebody on his cell phone and it's

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: Snell Zilla.

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 2: That's right, Blake Snell two time, two time.

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,639
Speaker 1: I didn't know you was with them.

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we've been close for the last three years.

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: You gave him that nickname.

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: Uh no, I did not.

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: I thought you did.

17
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 2: But in LA I let Dodger fans know this was

18
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: the guy to get. And he carried the Dodgers with

19
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: Yamamoto through the first three rounds that's right, of the

20
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: World Series, and also pitched a biginning in the World

21
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: Series Game seven. So you know he's he's going to

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: come back bigger, better than ever next year too.

23
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: Oh that's sensa Sean, buddy. I still where were you

24
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: when this whole game was going on. Are you in

25
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: the dugout? Are you in the press booth?

26
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 2: I was in the press box at Rogers Center, And

27
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: then in the eighth inning when it's getting close, you

28
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: got to go downstairs. So in case there's a Dodger win,

29
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: you can go out on the field to get the

30
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: player interviews that you see on sports and at LA

31
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 2: and here on AM five seventy. So I'm in the

32
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: camera well right next to the Dodger dugout. Wow, limited visibility,

33
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: but I had a great view of Miguel Rojas's game

34
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: tying home run and Will Smith's go ahead home run

35
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: in the eleventh inning, which I feel is not getting

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: the love that it should, right because everybody's talking about

37
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: Rojas's home run, and Rojas is a more outgoing interview

38
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: than Will Smith. Will Smith is a great player, but

39
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: he doesn't say much.

40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: You know, Will Smith wasn't really able to enjoy his

41
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: home run because there were two outs and he had

42
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: to quick or one out it was one or two.

43
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: I think it was two outs, so they had to

44
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: quickly come in and put his catch up here on

45
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: and get back out there.

46
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: That's right, and you know that catch that Andy Pae

47
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: has made unbelievable. He came in during the pitching change

48
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: and he had his hoodie on the entire game. Dave

49
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 2: Roberts tells him, go in there. He rips his hoodie off. Wow,

50
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: and the ball finds him right away. Interesting enough. Deano Ebel,

51
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: the Dodgers third base coach and outfield coach, showed me

52
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: the catch probability for Andy Paye has to make that

53
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: play and save the game at that point in time

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 2: was thirty six percent.

55
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: Is that right? What were the odds that Kik was

56
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: doing a Willie May's catch on that?

57
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: What do you think it was? I bet ten ninety

58
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: seven percent. Yes, he was going to catch it. Wow,

59
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: you right, play, he was going to catch it.

60
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: I love how he sat there like he was injured,

61
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: but he wasn't injured. He was depressed because he thought

62
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: the Dodgers just lost the World Series exactly.

63
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: He thought the ball dropped and they lost the World Series.

64
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: There were two, at least two times where the Dodgers

65
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: could have lost it. That play and then bases loaded.

66
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: There's a great play by Miguel Rojas and field in

67
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: ninth inning throws to Will Smith. It's a forced place,

68
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: so all he has to do is have his foot

69
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: on home plate. It comes off for us second.

70
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: I watch that over and over and over again. But

71
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, both will Smith and Rojas were very instrumental

72
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: in the last couple of innings there.

73
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: To get defensively and offensively.

74
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask you some David Assay is with us.

75
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: Can you stay with us for a while? I can? Oh?

76
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: Good, Okay, I told my wife I'm not coming back

77
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: until ten o'clock tonight.

78
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: Excellent, excellent, Okay, We're gonna go borrow some time then

79
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: from the seven PM show. But here's what I want

80
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: to ask you. I have never seen this before in

81
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: my life. You're close to the team than I am.

82
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: How did Yammoto pitch a full game and then even

83
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: get up in the morning the next day without, you know,

84
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: without a sling on his arm the way I understand? Well,

85
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: before I start it, before I see the question, tell

86
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: us what you know about pitchers the day after they've pitched,

87
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: and what kind of pain they're in.

88
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: They are like they've been in a car crash. The

89
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 2: next day, that's how their body feels.

90
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: They can't even lift their arm.

91
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: Especially consider this it's not April, it's not the first

92
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 2: day of the season. It's October. He's made thirty starts

93
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: and the playoffs are higher intensity, so it takes more

94
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: out of you. Not to mention he pitched back to

95
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: back complete games earlier in the postseason and the NLCS

96
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: against the Brewers and Game two of the World Series.

97
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: Then he came back and pitched six innings in game

98
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 2: So it's the end of the year, right. But one

99
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 2: thing about Yamamoto and Oral herscheizer, who understands the pitching

100
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: mechanics better than I do, has said that he has

101
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: incredible mechanics where he's not putting a lot of stress

102
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: on his arm. He's using his lower half his legs

103
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: to be able to bring and carry his arm forward,

104
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 2: and that's the only way that he would have been

105
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: able to bounce back and pitch Game seven in relief. Now,

106
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 2: the way I understand it is he has a personal trainer,

107
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: older gentleman revered in Japan. They call him sense YadA.

108
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: He's a guy that has coached up Yamamoto has been

109
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: there to help with his pitching mechanics and routine. And

110
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: the way I understand it, in the Japanese culture, is

111
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 2: your last game of pitching the season, you do a

112
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: specific bow and you say thank you to your trainer.

113
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: In this case, sense YadA. Run Yamamoto after game six,

114
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: after he comes out of the game, goes to do

115
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: this formal goodbye to his sense sense YadA. Sense YadA

116
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: did not accept it. Wow, he said, let's see how

117
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: you feel tomorrow. Wow, it would be a great inspiration

118
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: if you can be in the bullpen for your teammates.

119
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

120
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: In a lot of ways, it was sense YadA that

121
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: convinced and made Yamamoto believe that he would at least

122
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: give it a try for Game seven. Yamamoto got word

123
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: to the Dodgers brass and that's when Dave Roberts and

124
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: the pitching coaches, the way it was told to me

125
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 2: by Mark prior to their pitching coach found out after

126
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 2: Game six into the morning of Game seven that yes,

127
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: Yamamoto might be available to pitch. And I was told

128
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: before game seven. When I asked Dave Roberts, what do

129
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: you expect to get the last three outs without hesitation?

130
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 2: He said, Yama Moto, no way. He told me that

131
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: before before Game seven.

132
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: You know, there's a great David vassays with us from

133
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: the La Dodgers. There's a great video that a guy

134
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: took who was in the stands, and he's showing the

135
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, the entire ball park there up in Toronto,

136
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: and they's showing Then they also in the background there

137
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: they have the jumbo tron and the fans are cheering

138
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: because they're showing a Toronto player. And then they cut

139
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: to Yamamoto in the bullpen and everybody goes quiet because

140
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: they hate him up there, because they just can't get

141
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: a hit off this guy. They just, I mean, it's

142
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: impossible to beat. This guy is Yammoo.

143
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: If Vin Scully was alive and calling that game the

144
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: what you described, he would go into his poetic way

145
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: and he would say, there he is Yoshinobo Yamamoto, public

146
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: enemy number one in Canada.

147
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: That's fantastic.

148
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: Interesting enough talk about public enemy number one. Rick Monday,

149
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: who's a big time listener, hit a big home run

150
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: in another Canadian city in Montreal nineteen eighty year.

151
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: I was watching.

152
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: He is still despised and he wore number sixteen. Will Smith,

153
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: who hit the game winning home run in the eleventh

154
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 2: inning for the Dodgers in Game seven of the World

155
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: Series in Canada in Toronto, Ontario. Where's number sixteen?

156
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 1: Wow? Is that right? Yes? Oh, that's great. I loved

157
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: when when the Dodgers flipped the double play and Freddy

158
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: throws his arms up and Joe Davis says, to beat

159
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: the champion, got to knock him out. Yeah, that's a

160
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: great line. It's a great line.

161
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: Joe Davis had a great World Series from what I

162
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: heard I was listening to. I was obviously listening to

163
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: Amshire seventy, but from going back and listening to his calls,

164
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: they were great. But here's something else being in that

165
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: camera well, with a ward of other reporters that were

166
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: going to go out on the field and Major League

167
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 2: Baseball officials. When Game six ended, Key Key Hernandez to

168
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 2: Miguel Rojas game ending double play to double off Barger

169
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: at second, nobody moved onto the field. I said, double

170
00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 2: play game over, Get out there. Nobody's that right. Nobody

171
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: could believe it. And when Mookie Betts turn an unassisted

172
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: double play to end game seven, nobody moved either. I said,

173
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: that's a double play game over.

174
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: Wow. I heard that. Kershaw thought there was only two outs.

175
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: Kershaw told me the day of the parade we got

176
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: off the buses. He told me this as soon as

177
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: we got off the bus, and you connected with these guys.

178
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, god, he told me, Dave. I never even

179
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: saw Isaiah Kana Fileffa get to third base. I had

180
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: no idea that he was there. Oh really, because I'm

181
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: locked in warming up in the bullpen. He was coming

182
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: in for the next batter if the Dodgers don't get

183
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: a double play to end the game. He was coming

184
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: in to face Dalton varshow So, he was oblivious to

185
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: what was transpiring, unbelieved on that final play. So I

186
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: saw more of that final play than he did one

187
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: hundred percent.

188
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: You did. That's great? All right? Can you stay with us,

189
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: David Vaz say, is whether we're going to talk this

190
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: Game seven, the whole Dodgers season, probably for the hour.

191
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: I watch it almost every night when I go home,

192
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: I watch it last night. I don't go to bed

193
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,239
Speaker 1: sometime till three o'clock. I fast forward through the commercials.

194
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: I watch every inning, and I put myself through the

195
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: misery of them, you know, going ahead and almost winning

196
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers pull it out. Sorry, it's a spoiler alert.

197
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: But I can't I still can't believe they won the

198
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: World Series.

199
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: I'm two outs away from losing it.

200
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, Dave assays, Well, this is We're

00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: the pitching staff? Kershaw's done?

209
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: My guy snell Zilla.

00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Snell Zilla who made like seven hundred million dollars this year.

211
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: He made a lot. How much did he make this.

212
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: From a couple of different teams? Close to fifty million?

213
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: How many teams are paying him?

214
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: Uh? At least two?

215
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so the Padres are paying him, yeah, and the

216
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: Dodgers and the Dodgers. Yeah, that's got to sting the Padres.

217
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they had a chance to keep him, and

218
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: they chose some guy named Joe Musk Musk Grove or

219
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 2: whatever his name is from elkoholone was he reliever? Is

220
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 2: he started starter and he's hurt. And uh, Jake Cronenworth.

221
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: They gave a guy, Jake Cronenworth's ninety million dollars, who's

222
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: you know, a punch and Judy hitter, and you know

223
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 2: they let what.

224
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: Was that term mean? Punching juice?

225
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: It means he could barely get it out of the infield.

226
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: That's a great term. I let me tell you what

227
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: I did on Game seven. It was it was raining here.

228
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: I told us already, and I'm gonna tell you again,

229
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: it's raining here. And I got nervous watching the game.

230
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: So I had to go and get my car and

231
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: listen to the radio. And I'm listening, and I drove

232
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: out to Valencia so I could listen to the game.

233
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: And I get to Valencia, I go into Walmart and

234
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: I bought some crap for charity, because that's when everyone

235
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: was out of food and they needed food. And right

236
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: when I put that those cans of soup and beans

237
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: in my cart, I checked the score again and the

238
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: Dodgers scored a run. So now I say, okay, was

239
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: that the Monsey home run? It was no, it was

240
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: before that. It was before that, And and so they

241
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: got close and then I put some more stuff in

242
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: the cart, and then that's when they got closer. And

243
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: they kept getting closer, and so I had to keep

244
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: piling up this cart. I owed like one hundred and

245
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: thirty two dollars when I left. It was horrible, but

246
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: I got in the cart and I drove home, and

247
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: I was on the on the five freeway right where

248
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: the one eighteen and the five meat and the one

249
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: eighteen was right over my head, and I heard Rick

250
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: Monday and who's the other guy called Melson and Stephen Nelson.

251
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: I heard them say, oh, it's it's hit over key

252
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: K's head. I don't think he's going to get there,

253
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: you know. I don't think Pa is going to get there.

254
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: And I thought, okay, it's over, you know. They hit

255
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: it over this over the guy's it's done. And then

256
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: they both flipped out. He's caught. He's actually caught the ball.

257
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: The Edning's overready, caught the ball. And I'm honking my

258
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: horn on the five freeway flipping out, and nobody else

259
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: is doing that. Everyone's just driving.

260
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 2: Probably the Dodger fans that were interested in that game

261
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: were at home watching it.

262
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: You're right, okay, not.

263
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: Driving, couldn't do that. I could see a Walmart, so I.

264
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: Was So I drove back and I drove by the

265
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: station because I wanted to watch it with Kate's and

266
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: and who else was here that Coliny was here that night? Yeah,

267
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: And then so I pulled into the into the parking

268
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: area right here, and I get out of the car

269
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: and I go, I can't go up there because if

270
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: I go up there and the Dodgers lose Petros some

271
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: money for the next three months, will say they lost

272
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: because of me. Yeah, And I'm I'm not going to

273
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: do that. You would have to wear that. So I

274
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: went home. I watched it with my wife and I

275
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: still can't believe they won.

276
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: That kid, how did your wife react?

277
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: She flipped out. You know, she's she's not she's a

278
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: semi sports fan, but she would watch for the World Series.

279
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: She was watching every game.

280
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 2: Tim, I could tell you this talking to people like

281
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: you and other fans. There are two moments in the

282
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: last I don't know ten years, fifteen years, where moments

283
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 2: that the Dodgers have had in these last two World

284
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: Series are moments that will live forever in people's families. Sure,

285
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: Game seven this past year and Freddie Freeman hitting his

286
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: walk off grand Slam in Game one of last year's

287
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: World Series. Right, people have showed me videos of jumping

288
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: in the pool in their homes, buying their own champagne,

289
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: to have a champagne party outside in their backyard, having

290
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: moments with parents and grandparents and kids. I took my

291
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: ten year old for his annual checkup. The pediatrician would

292
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: only talk about the Dodgers. He didn't care about whether

293
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: or not my son was doing well or not. He

294
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: was just wanting to tell me about him and his

295
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: kids coming back from college watching Game seven together. And

296
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: then we go home and my wife I asked my son,

297
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: how did it go. It's like they only talked about

298
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: the Dodge.

299
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: Oh that's classic. See, buddy, you you're flying too close

300
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: to the sun. You're with the team, and you know

301
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sitting at home with the blue collar guys

302
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: at Walmart. That really means a lot to them, it does.

303
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: I can't believe you support Walmart.

304
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: I love Walmart. I'm a Low's fan depot. Last night

305
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: to the best.

306
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: You know that story you told me about driving because

307
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: you were too nervous watch on TV the last time

308
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: I heard a story like that was Jerry West. So

309
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: he was the GM of the Lakers Game seven or

310
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: Game six of the two thousand NBA Finals. He couldn't

311
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: be at the arena, so he drove around Los Angeles

312
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: for the entire Game six of the two thousand NBA Finals,

313
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: the first Shack and Kobe Championship, because he was that

314
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: nervous and that you know he had Ah was that chick?

315
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: Hen That was Jerry West.

316
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: Oh, Jerry West. But Jerry was calling the game, calling

317
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: the game. Yeah, the simulcast was still on. Bellio is

318
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: probably producing that game probably there. Yeah, that's great, all right,

319
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: stay with us. I got a million more questions for you,

320
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: all right. David Assay was at every single playoff game.

321
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: He missed Halloween with his kids to be with that team.

322
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: That's right, that's the I hope that doesn't happen again.

323
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: And I missed my mom's Ablazian procedure as well.

324
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: I did. I missed that one too. Yeah, I didn't

325
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: go to that either. All right, we're live on KFI.

326
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

327
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,479
Speaker 3: AM six forty.

328
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: David with the LA Dodgers is with us.

329
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: I heard back to back world champion Dodgers, back.

330
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: To back world champion Dodgers, and when they get that ring,

331
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: they should give you one.

332
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: I'll get a ring. I think.

333
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: I hope you do.

334
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: I got one last year. Good for you got.

335
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't.

336
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say I deserve it. I didn't do anything.

337
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: I was just a lot of the right.

338
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: You kept that locker room light, and you kept the players.

339
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: You know, you took their mind off the seriousness of

340
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: the game with your interactions with them. I think you're

341
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: a huge part of that team. Thank you. I also

342
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: let me tell you some things I heard. Can you

343
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: tell me whether they're right or wrong? Okay? I heard

344
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: the Yamamoto after he pitched in Game seven and he

345
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: won the MVP Trophy. He was not kidding about not

346
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: being able to lift it over his head. He physically

347
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: couldn't do that.

348
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: That's one hundred percent right. I saw after his press

349
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: conference in the bowels of Rogers Center in Toronto. He

350
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: came to give me a hug, and I gave him

351
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 2: a bear hug, and to the touch of his right arm,

352
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 2: it was tender, and he said, very tired I said, sorry,

353
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: I won't hug you. But he was good enough to

354
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: go for the parade. He held up the trophies, so

355
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: he was feeling better by the parade.

356
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: Okay. I heard another rumor that when you flew to

357
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: Toronto for the first couple of games and also for

358
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: this game six and seven, the Canadian customs were a

359
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: holes to you.

360
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: That is false, okay, because the are very gracious during

361
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: the postseason. They allowed the coaches to bring their families,

362
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: front office to bring their families.

363
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: A plus one.

364
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and nobody's telling anybody like, hey, only bring one

365
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: bag because we're going through customs. So it was unlimited bags.

366
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: There were wives, kids, nannies along with the working people there,

367
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: so it takes time to get those bags through customs.

368
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: It wasn't anybody messing with us, it was just the process.

369
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: How many people went, oh.

370
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: I would say they were like at least three hundred

371
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: and fifty people on one plane.

372
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: How many planes went? The players have their players only

373
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: plane where it's only players, and you're usually on that

374
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: during the regular season.

375
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: I am not that changed at during the last year's playoffs,

376
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: where they wanted to be together and block out distractions.

377
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: Right.

378
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: So they carried that through into this year's regular season.

379
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: And so the players' wives and their kids and their

380
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 2: nannies were on the staff plane headed to Toronto for

381
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 2: games one and two.

382
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: Is Rick Monday on that plane?

383
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 2: He was not on that first one. He was on

384
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 2: a staff another staff plane.

385
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: Okay, does is Dave Roberts allowed to travel with the

386
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: team with the players? No, he was on my plane.

387
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 2: Play managers and coaches are on my on the staff plane.

388
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: Is that? Yes? Wait a minute, there's when the players are.

389
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: It's only player players only, really players only. Wow. And

390
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: that's the right idea.

391
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: Yes, if you can afford it, and the Dodgers can.

392
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: What an insult to Dave Roberts though he's not a player,

393
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: I know, but he's the main I agree. Joe Davis

394
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: caught some crap about being in that parade, true or false?

395
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 2: True from a national radio host and personality, Chris mad

396
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 2: Dog Russo, who is a very vocal Joe Davis critic

397
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 2: in general. Why just not his cup of tea? He mus,

398
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 2: Joe Davis is great. Joe Davis is not from New York.

399
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: He was jealous that Joe Davis was doing the play

400
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: by play.

401
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't think that's his aspiration. But I can

402
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 2: understand from the national perspective, because Vince Scully was never

403
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: that involved in Dodger parades, I can understand his point

404
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 2: of view. But I thought he went way overboard criticizing Joe.

405
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: I know Shanks who runs Eric Shanks, Eric Shanks who

406
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: runs and Fox Sports, and he picked Joe Davis to

407
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: do those games. That's a big deal.

408
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 2: Is it Shanks or Brad Zaeger?

409
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: I think, well, Brad Zeiger's was hired by Shanks, got you.

410
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,239
Speaker 1: I think I don't know the hierarchy. I just know

411
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: that Shanks is my buddy and nobody is above him

412
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: on score.

413
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 2: Okay, but don't you think optic wise you can understand

414
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: people in Toronto and across the country day after Game seven,

415
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 2: where you're playing it down the middle, you're out there

416
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: on the stage with the Dodgers. I can understand it,

417
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 2: But I thought Mad Dog went way overboard with the criticism.

418
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 2: It means nothing to what took place on the field,

419
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: and Joe did a great job calling it down the middle.

420
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: Mad Doctor, whoa all right. Rojas's first home run off

421
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: of Righty was the Game seven of the World Series.

422
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: That's right, that's incredible, Slider.

423
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: I don't know why he would throw him a pitch

424
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: that wasn't ninety five plus because Rojas would not have

425
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 2: been able to hit a home run off of ninety

426
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: five fastball.

427
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: He should have gotten with the fastball, should.

428
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 2: Have gone with the fastball. Made a huge miss bent over,

429
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: huge mistake, all right, But that's why he's Jeff Hoffman.

430
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: So the Olsen twins who are very popular in Chitty

431
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: Chitty Bang Bang or what was the show whas? And

Speaker 2: call me whatever she wants. I'm a big fan of

439
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 2: Elizabeth Olsen. I bet you are, and I bet your's

440
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 2: on my radar. Now, if your wife is listening, it's

441
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: going to be a quiet night. It might be the

442
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: last Thanksgiving with my wife.

443
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, you're gonna move on with a listener, you know,

444
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: and tell the kids.

445
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: Hey, TMZ might see us outside of Craigs or nobu.

446
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: Were you at Mookie Bets had a party after the

447
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: World Series? Were you there? I was? Were you there

448
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: when Freddie Freeman did the worm?

449
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: I was, but I didn't videotape it, and I thought

450
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 2: it was out of turn for anybody to put it

451
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: out there. It turned out it was Mookie Bets's TikTok

452
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 2: that day. So that's and Freddy did the worm at

453
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 2: a wedding over the weekend for former Dodger Gavin Lux. Okay,

454
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 2: Lux had a wedding here in La Freddie was invited

455
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: and Lux encouraged him to do the worm again.

456
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: Where is Lux now? Is he a Philly or who's

457
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: hei Cincinnati? Okay, So that's the second time that people

458
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: are either making fun of or videotaping Freddie Freeman for

459
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: his crazy dancing. Yes. The first time was at Max

460
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: Monsey's house in Texas.

461
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: That's where it originated. And then it got taken to

462
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: the Dodgers Foundation gala where he was doing it was

463
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: with a performer on stage. Okay, all right, So he

464
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 2: took it from a kids party to a public place

465
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: and that's the celebration they do at second base.

466
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I am thrilled whenever I see an interview now

467
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: with Scherzer and watching him cry that he didn't win

468
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:39,560

519
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, Blake Snell is my number one guy. Players used

520
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 2: to get mad that I went to go talk to

521
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 2: him when he was on other teams.

522
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: I was right.

523
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: I would go to the opponent's dugout where he would

524
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: be waiting for me, and as I was walking back,

525
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: they would be screaming at me vulgarities and profanities. Why

526
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 2: I would be talking to him.

527
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: You mus been thrilled that he came to the Dodgers.

528
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,440

Speaker 2: I was. I was very vocal about good for you,

531
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: the Dodgers signing him, or should sign him. I was

532
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 2: just at Justin Turner's ninth Annual golf Tournament. Still tight

533
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 2: with JT. He does great things with the Dream Center

534
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 2: here in LA. Even though he hasn't played for them,

535
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: and he's going to retire out here. He told me

536
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: he would sign a one day contract to retire with

537
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 2: the Dodger, but he's going to play this year. But

538
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 2: as far as guys on this team looked, tim, it's

539
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: a bittersweet. I spent every day of the last fourteen

540
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 2: years with Clayton Kershaw, who's going to the Hall of

541
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 2: Fame fourteen the last fourteen years, every day of the

542
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 2: baseball Yeah, that's to be different.

543
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: And I believe this is right. You met your wife

544
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: through Kershaw that tests was going to the first game,

545
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: and you went to the same game. That's where you

546
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: guys started going out.

547
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: We were both at his major league debut back on

548
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 2: that June afternoon in two thousand and eight. I met

549
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: her here in the hallways, told her I'm going to

550
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 2: be at the game she was coming to. We met

551
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 2: at the stadium club and that's where we set our

552
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: first date. And now have two beautiful kids, been married

553
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 2: since twenty eleven, and now that Elizabeth Olsen's in my life,

554
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 2: it's coming to an end.

555
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: Buddy. I hope you don't. I hope you can deal

556
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: with this insult. But you married way over your head. Yeah,

557
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: no doubt, like a billion light years. I'm going to

558
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: divorce over my head too. You probably should. I heard

00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: deal with the subway shuts down at midnight, so they

562
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: all had to get ubers.

00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 2: these Dodgers are They're very home. They've been attached to

570
