1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: To have if he does go to Triple eight open

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: the season.

3
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: You have for sorry, you have body as non roster

4
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: invite's fighting for that final spot, and to me, it

5
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: comes down to versatility.

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 3: Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to a brand new, live,

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,720

Speaker 3: like subscribe tell your friends. By the way, we have

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 3: a special guest today, Amelia May, the wife of the

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 3: hurler Dustin May, is going to be joining us today.

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 3: We're going to talk about just what the process has

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 3: been like, I'm trying to get Dustin back on the mound,

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 3: how much of a part of his rehab she's taken

16
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: place in and and just what it's like being a

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 3: wife of a major league ballplayer and all the ups

18
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: and downs that go along with that. So looking forward

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: to talking to Amelia here momentarily. But before that, let's

20
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: talk about some big guns Freddie Freeman as well as

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 3: show Hey Otani getting their Cactus League action. Let's start

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: with the big ticket.

23
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: Let's do it.

24
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 3: No need to panic. I'm sure you're panicking and wanting

25
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: to throw yourself off the tallest roof in Los Angeles.

26
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: Don't worry, my friend. Just because the Dodgers are two

27
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: and five and Cactus League play does not mean that

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 3: Andrew Friedman should get fired, that Dave Roberts should not

29
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: get an extension, that we should DFA Freeman, Betts, Otani,

30
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: Edmund's all the things. Freddy Freeman is going to get

31
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: into action today. He's going to be the DH against

32
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: the Colorado Rockies. Will Smith is going to play on Friday.

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: This from David Basset does a great job on AM

34
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: five seventy. And by the way, show hey Otani is

35
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: going to DH tomorrow against your favorite team, the Angels

36
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 3: there in Anaheim. So we're going to start seeing some

37
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: of the key parts of this puzzle come together in

38
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: Cactus League action.

39
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: Dodgers getting healthier, we can put down the fires, the

40
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: torches and pitchforks. Things are going to be okay. The

41
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: two in five Dodgers, you know, don't write them off yet.

42
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: They'll write off those world series hopes.

43
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: Yet another thing. I don't know if you saw this one.

44
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: We're looking at the screen still of show heyo Tani

45
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: getting back in the lineup. He was also working on

46
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: not injuring that shoulder anymore. The Dodgers posting no arm slide, Yeah,

47
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: posting that on TikTok the tik tak whatever the kids

48
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: call it these days. That pose at the end there,

49
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: that is just he is. He is an absolute showman

50
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: for sure. But to see show Heyo Tani ideally not

51
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: get injured for this team, that's a thumbs up to.

52
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: Me for sure.

53
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, thumbs up, show Hey. And yes, the Showman's

54
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: ship is a lot of fun too, but it's important

55
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 3: that they practice that stuff. It's all about those fundamentals.

56
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 3: It's all about doing things the right way, all the

57
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 3: little aspects of the game. What are you looking forward

58
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: to in terms of seeing Freddy out there, in terms

59
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 3: of seeing Will Smith out there, show Hey. Obviously as

60
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: a DH won't pitch until May in the big leagues,

61
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: But anything in particular you're looking for, No.

62
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I want to see Freddy feel good with

63
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: the swing. Of course, his swing was off and on

64
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: at different points last season. He felt really really dang

65
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: good when it got to World Series time, even if

66
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: the body didn't feel super great. But I want to

67
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: see Freddy back in this lineup. I would love to

68
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 2: see Will kind of put the pieces back together. A

69
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: bit of a down season in twenty twenty four as

70
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: he was dealing with an apparent ankle injury that Dave

71
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: Roberts said maybe affected his swing a good little bit

72
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: here and there.

73
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: Don't like that too much, which they would.

74
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if it needed something, you know,

75
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: some sort of medical repair or whatever operation, but it.

76
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: Did not I think the surgery.

77
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's ten in the morning for me, so you know,

78
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: the day is still young and the coffee is barely

79
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: kicking in. But getting yeah, getting those guys back in lineup,

80
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: and then of course showtime back at the top, it's

81
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: just going to feel like a more complete lineup, and

82
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: then we start to look.

83
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: At more of the.

84
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: It's good that these guys are out because it's given

85
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: some other guys an opportunity to shine. And one guy

86
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: we're hearing a lot more about David Body, of course,

87
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: non roster invit. He could be playing his way into

88
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: a role. Who's kind of standing out in your opinion

89
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: so far.

90
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: Early at Spring Well, I can understand why you would

91
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 3: mention David Bodie, because here's his numbers so far. Again,

92
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: you take spring training numbers positively or negatively with a

93
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 3: grain of salt. It's spring training, all right. But he is,

94
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 3: that being said, he is fighting for a job. Twelve

95
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 3: AB's a six seventy seven average or six sixty seven

96
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 3: rather one home run, six ribbies and an ops of

97
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 3: one point seven to seventy five. So the thing about

98
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: Body that I like is that he's versatile. Right, every

99
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 3: time we talk about the Dodgers, we talk about versatility.

100
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: It's the V for versatility, not the V for victory.

101
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: David Body said he worked with the Dodgers' hitting group

102
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 3: to make some changes to his swing. They identified them

103
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 3: before signing him and presented what they were seeing, and

104
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 3: Body agreed. But when you're looking for a job, you're

105
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 3: probably going to agree.

106
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: Right.

107
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 3: They're hitting coaches were a big reason why he joined

108
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. And I get that this is from by

109
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: Blake William's tweeting this earlier yesterday. But another guy that

110
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: perhaps and I didn't really understand the signing, but why not.

111
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 3: I mean, if you can sign a guy, let's do

112
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: it and see what they can give you at spring

113
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 3: training is Eddie Rosario. I mean he's kind of turning heads, Clint.

114
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: I mean he's left handed. They don't have a ton

115
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: of other options there. It would be a whole right

116
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: handed bench if they didn't sign him too early to

117
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: pencil him into anything. But of the two people, just

118
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: based on their skill set, when you're talking about David

119
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 3: Body and Eddie Rosario, what makes the most sense.

120
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you're looking at the spring competition. Here we

121
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: are a couple weeks now into spring training, things are

122
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: starting to.

123
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: Figure themselves out. It feels like a little bit more.

124
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 2: David Body is standing out a bit more in my opinion,

125
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 2: and Eddie Rosario has been you know, he's been solid,

126
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: especially in the first few games. He hit the first

127
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: home or the spring for this team, which I'm sure

128
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: everybody had on their Dodgers spring training bingo card.

129
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: There's kind of it feels.

130
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: To me at this point, and this isn't breaking news

131
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 2: or anything, but there's one roster spot available for this

132
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: team right now, and it was kind of maybe initially

133
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 2: going to go to somebody like a Hessan Kim, but

134
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: Kim the Dodgers have sort of soft launched the idea

135
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: that you know, he could start the season at Triple A,

136
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: which is not a bad thing. It's not a slight

137
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: on him. H's something he's even expressed that he is

138
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: open to. I would rather see him, you know, become

139
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: a big leaguer and be here, stay here as opposed

140
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: to show up struggle sort of thing. That's what I

141
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: would rather see. But to have if he does go

142
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: to Triple eight open the season, you have for sorry,

143
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: you have Body as non roster invitees fighting for that

144
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: final spot.

145
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: And to me, it comes down to versatility.

146
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: Dodgers love versatility, and as you said, Body can play

147
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: some second can play, some third base, play a little

148
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 2: first as were Eddie Risori was kind of limited to

149
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: just left field, and that's a spot where Tommy Edmund,

150
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: Chris Taylor, Keike Hernettez they can all fit and they

151
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 2: could all help out there. And I think that's the

152
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: way that if I'm some tea leaves right now, I

153
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: would not be shocked to see David Body end up

154
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: with that final spot. Like you said, you know, he's

155
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: worked with the hitting coaches, he's worked on getting better

156
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: as a Dodger, and you know, to put a prediction

157
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: to cap off my rosturbation conversation here. Oh again, I

158
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: would put good money on body being on that the

159
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: final roster guy, the final position player side. I put

160
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: a whole five dollars on that that David Bodie ends

161
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: up getting that final spot on the team.

162
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: Wow, your word choice is quite spectacular. Let me tell

163
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 3: you this, though I wonder very heavily. I guess I

164
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: shouldn't wonder because I'm the last person that should be

165
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: questioning the moves that the Dodgers make. And again, it's

166
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: still a puzzle piece, like you're trying to get better

167
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: than you were last year and you won a World Series.

168
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: So but why sign Hasan Kim, a guy that some

169
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: think is projected to win Gold Glove at second base?

170
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: Why consider moving him all around? And number two? Why

171
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: sign him if his bat is where you want him

172
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: to be.

173
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: Listen to me, it's it's a lottery ticket. That's what

174
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: the Dodgers want to do. We know the glove can play.

175
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: The bat was going to take a little bit of work.

176
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: I think.

177
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: I haven't seen a whole lot. I'm no big city

178
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: hitting coach or anything like that. I haven't seen a

179
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: whole lot. That's great hitting wise, out of Kim. You

180
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: know he's coming along a little bit more in recent days.

181
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: But there's a difference between buying a one dollar scratch

182
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: off lottery ticket or a twenty dollars scratch off lottery ticket.

183
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 2: Maybe he's somewhere in that fifteen twenty dollars range of

184
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: a scratch off, and if you win, you get that

185
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars on the scratch off,

186
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: you feel pretty good. If not, it's like a or

187
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: whatever it was twenty bucks. So the Dodgers have that

188
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: kind of luxury where they can spend a little bit

189
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: of money and give themselves some extra talent. We already

190
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: know this team is deep every way in every way,

191
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: shape and form when it comes to pitching and hitting,

192
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: So why not just give yourself more more opportunity to

193
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: be good.

194
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 3: Listen, if the bat can catch up to the glove,

195
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 3: that can be a really special player, whether he does

196
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: start the season at the big league level or whether

197
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: he starts in Triple A. All right, back in a

198
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 3: moment with a Milia May Dustin's May Lovely Bride. After

199

00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,040

223
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: and I'm so happy to welcome in Amelia May, our

224
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 3: friend of the program, Dustin May's wife, of course, Amelia.

225
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 3: Great to see you. It's been a long time since

226
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 3: I've seen that face in person, but it's so awesome

227
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 3: to see you. And I want to ask you, just

228
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: from a perspective of a big leaguer's wife, when you

229
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 3: saw Dustin have that first strikeout back in Cactus League play,

230
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 3: after all that he's been through off of the field,

231
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: what goes through your mind?

232
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 4: A huge sigh of relief for sure, and just pure

233
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 4: pride because I've been with them every step of the

234
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 4: day of the way, you know, watching him struggle through

235
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 4: setbacks and through injuries, and it was just so amazing,

236
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 4: I think for both of us, and emotional to just

237
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 4: have that sigh of relief, like, Okay, it's done the

238
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 4: first times over with and he did it. I knew

239
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 4: he could, but it was just nice to see it happen.

240
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet.

241
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it's obviously we've all been following this this

242
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: journey and to have the rug kind of pulled out

243
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: from other under you guys, I don't know how anybody

244
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: could have dealt with it and the devastation.

245
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: I mean to have. I love Dustin talking about it.

246
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 2: You guys have the celebration of we're ready, we're about

247
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: to start going out on a rehab assignment, throwing to hitters,

248
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: and you're celebrating, and then the unthinkable. You literally cannot

249
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: imagine what happened as much as you can inform our

250
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: audience here about to hear it from you.

251
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: What was that evening like?

252
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 2: And how did you do your best to kind of

253
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: keep you know, Dustin calm and keep yourself calm.

254
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, so keeping Dustin calm is usually not very hard,

255
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 4: he's pretty commerson. But that evening was it was very

256
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: shocking and for lack of a better word, it was

257
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 4: pretty traumatic. We went from eating dinner with our friends

258
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 4: to all of a sudden, Dustin's being put in an ambulance.

259
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: And I think, you know, the best way that I

260
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 4: could have handled the situation. I had to think logically

261
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 4: step by step. So as Dustin's getting in the ambulance,

262
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, well we don't have any family here,

263
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 4: and we're gonna need a car at the hospital when

264
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 4: this is said and done, so instead of getting in

265
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 4: the ambulance, I'm like, okay, I have to drive the car,

266
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 4: you know, behind the ambulance for thirty minutes. And then

267
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 4: we have a dog at home, so I had to

268
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 4: quickly call one of our friends, like, hey, can you

269
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 4: go stay the night with our dog? So just taking

270
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 4: it basically minute by minute, step by step and being

271
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 4: very logical about it without allowing the emotion to creep

272
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 4: in quite yet, was what got us through, you know,

273
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 4: the thick of it when it was all happening, and

274
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 4: then really I think the emotions we were able to

275
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 4: kind of process things, probably maybe day five or six

276
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 4: when he was in the hospital. So just a good

277
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 4: step by step going through it until we knew, okay,

278
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 4: he's safe, the surgery's over is what got us through

279
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 4: that night. For sure.

280
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: What do you think actually happened. I'm not asking you

281
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 3: to be a doctor by any stretch of the imagination,

282
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 3: but from the outside we just hear like, oh my goodness,

283
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: he had an esophagus issue, and then we later find

284
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 3: out he was eating salad. I'm sure there's a lot

285
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: more to it Amelia than what we know what exactly happened.

286
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, so Dustin, I think he was having some inflammation

287
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 4: in his esophagus, and so I think, regardless which we

288
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 4: didn't know about of course, because he couldn't feel it,

289
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 4: he didn't feel like anything was wrong. I think regardless

290
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 4: of what he had swallowed at dinner, that would have happened.

291
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 4: So I don't think it was necessarily the lettuce itself.

292
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 4: I think if he would have swallowed, you know, a

293
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 4: piece of steak or whatever else we were eating that night,

294
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 4: that next swallow was going to to hurt him regardless.

295
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 4: So I don't think it was the salad. I think

296
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 4: it was his esophaguess being inflamed. And since then, you know,

297
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 4: we've got everything under control now and that will not

298
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,359
Speaker 4: be happening.

299
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: Again, thank god, Yeah, thank god.

300
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: And then we get now the vision of this. We

301
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: get to see the man back on the bump, he

302
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: tells us I'm alive. He's throwing a baseball. We get

303
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: that final strikeout, the emotion of that moment, What was

304
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: that moment like for you to see this final k

305
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: him come off the mound, And I mean it was

306
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 2: palpable for us even watching on TV, like, this is

307
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: a man that just fought back a lot of demons

308
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: and now is ready to resume his career. What was

309
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: going through your mind as the wife of that man.

310
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 4: It was pure joy and pure gratefulness. My mom was

311
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 4: sitting a few seats away from me. We ran over,

312
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 4: hugged each other immediately. We have friends with us. Everyone

313
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 4: is screaming. We're running down everyone's face because all of

314
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 4: our close friends had seen Dustin go through all of

315
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 4: the trials that he's gone through, and it was it

316
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 4: was a huge moment for everyone. We even actually had

317
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 4: Destin's doctor, doctor Wang. She was the doctor who performed

318
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 4: the searchery on hy esophagus and she was at the

319
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 4: game as well, So it was very special for all

320
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 4: of us and pure joy and we were just so

321
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 4: thankful that we made it through the thick event and

322
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 4: we were finally there a Milia.

323
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 3: I too, am married to a major league baseball player,

324
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 3: former major league player, and one thing I know about

325
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: these guys is they live and breathe with every single pitch,

326
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 3: every single at bat. This is a game obviously, that

327
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: will humble you, kick you right in your teeth, and

328
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 3: you know when you fail, it's displayed for the world

329
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: to see. How did you keep How do you keep

330
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: things level? Because I know that for a lot of players,

331
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: you know, it is what they do, but it's also

332
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: who they are, and there's a lot of massive ups

333
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: and massive downs. How do you guys keep things in perspective?

334
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 4: I think it really comes down to staying grounded and

335
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 4: keeping yourself humble and understanding that it's okay if you

336
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 4: read something on the Internet that you know is mean

337
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 4: or doesn't agree you know, with something you've done, or

338
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 4: even when Dustin first had the esophagus injury, there were

339
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 4: so many jokes being made right away. I think you

340
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 4: honestly just have to separate yourself from what happens in

341
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 4: real life and what happens on social media and understand

342
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: and kind of give grace to people that you know

343
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: they're not in your situation so they're not understanding it.

344
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 4: And once you separate yourself from what happens online, or

345
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: even separating yourself from your job, for example, it kind

346
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 4: of makes you look inward and you're like, Okay, you

347
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 4: know this is me, I know what I can do,

348
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 4: I know who I am, and it keeps you kind

349
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 4: of on the straight and narrow, and it also helps

350
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: to surround yourself with really good people who who align

351
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 4: and have the same values as well.

352
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we saw also that the shot here you

353
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: had mentioned, you know before, the family being out there,

354
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: it almost felt like he's making his big league debut

355
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: again there on the mound at Campbell back because it

356
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: almost felt that way.

357
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the.

358
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 2: Better part of four years unfortunately have been derailed for

359
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: Dustin in his career, but thankfully, I mean, you guys

360
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 2: are still young.

361
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: He's still young, He's still.

362
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 2: Got a lot of career ahead of him, hopefully big

363
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 2: things coming for the Dodgers. One of the questions we

364
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: were kind of wondering, is you, I know, everybody has

365
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: a different level of what you can do as a

366
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 2: wife to help him get ready for a season and

367
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: all that we saw him post on his social media

368
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 2: last night, Hey, is that Amelia May's arm help in

369
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: Dustin get back on the bump. And what are other

370
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 2: things you do to help him kind of get ready

371
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: for a season.

372
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think that the main thing for us,

373
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 4: for me is I'm taking care of both the stuff

374
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 4: that's happening in our household and you know, there are

375
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 4: a lot of times when you are a major League

376
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 4: baseball player or an athlete of any type of support

377
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 4: that you have to put that front and center before

378
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 4: maybe something that's fun or something that you want to do,

379
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 4: because at the end of the day, that's what we

380
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 4: have to focus on. And I've been with Dustin. We've

381
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 4: been together since we were nineteen and he was in

382
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 4: low ay In for the Great Legs Wunds, So I'm

383
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 4: very familiar with when we need to put baseball first,

384
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,959
Speaker 4: and you know, just making sure that he's eating all

385
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 4: the things that are good for his body and not

386
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 4: going to cause inflammation again, and making sure that travel

387
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 4: arrangements are set. And Dustin's really good at taking care

388
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 4: of that stuff too, but it's nice for me to

389
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 4: be able to take care of him in that way

390
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 4: and just make things easier so that he can just

391
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 4: focus on being on the mound and staying healthy.

392
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 3: Are you jealous of how great his hair looks all

393
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 3: of the time and the body that he has in

394
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 3: his hair? And why does this man not have a

395
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 3: shampoo and conditioner sponsorship? Yeah?

396
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Dustin's got amazing hair. I absolutely love the color

397
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 4: of it and I tell him all the time, while

398
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 4: I wish my hair was as thick as yours.

399
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 3: How have you seen him grow as a player and

400
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 3: as a pitcher, Amelia, and more importantly, just the maturity

401
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 3: of him as a person. I mean, you've been together

402
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 3: a long time and this is an industry and a

403
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,239
Speaker 3: career path that's not easy. How have you seen him

404
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 3: mature in all aspects of it.

405
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 4: It's been incredible to witness how Dustin has grown since

406
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 4: I met him when we were nineteen, especially through the

407
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 4: setbacks and the trials that he has faced. I think

408
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 4: he has I know that he has a whole new

409
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 4: appreciation for the game and for life in general, which

410
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 4: I know he was always appreciative before, but he has

411
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 4: this type of appreciation where I think a person can

412
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 4: only have if you've ever been in a position where

413
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 4: almost everything could be taken away from you. And I

414
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 4: think that right now he is. He knows some self

415
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 4: more than he ever has. He knows exactly who he

416
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 4: wants to be, and he's really just grown into the

417
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 4: person that he's always been destined to be. And it's

418
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 4: just been a really eye opening and awesome experience to

419
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 4: see him learn how to handle these setbacks with the

420
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 4: positive attitude and then you know we're finally through it

421
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 4: and we get to reap the rewards.

422
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: Now, Yea, you mentioned appreciation.

423
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: You know, as tough as things have been over the

424
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 2: last couple of years, I imagine you have a sort

425
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: of appreciation with I'm calling it kind of a sisterhood

426
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 2: of the Wags, which I know sometimes people like it term, other.

427
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: People might not.

428
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 2: But you guys obviously hanging out around Campbell back and

429
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: launch a lot. There's been a lot of injuries to

430
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 2: pitchers on this team.

431
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: Is there any sort of like that that.

432
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: That bond that grows with other players, other wives, you

433
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 2: guys hanging out and kind of hoping everybody can get right,

434
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 2: get healthy and get back to helping this team go

435
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 2: out and try to win a championship.

436
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 4: We have a great group of girls. When Dustin was

437
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 4: in the hospital, they sent us a floral arrangement. They're

438
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 4: checking in with us and asking if we need anything.

439
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 4: Same with the Dodgers as well. And it's just been

440
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 4: nice when you can meet other women who are going

441
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 4: through the same things as you, because it's hard to explain,

442
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,239
Speaker 4: even to my best friend, because it's it's hard if

443
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 4: you're not actually experiencing yourself. So it's been great to

444
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 4: have those girls, and some of those girls, you know,

445
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 4: their husbands were in the minor leagues with Dustin, Like

446
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 4: Kara Smith. I think I've known her since I was

447
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 4: nineteen as well, So it's just awesome to kind of

448
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 4: grow up together and you know, be there for each

449
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 4: other when when we're going through tough times, and be

450
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 4: there for each other when we're going through really exciting

451
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 4: times too.

452
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 3: All Right, I know the Mays are from Texas. You're

453
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 3: not allowed to say any place in Texas, and you're

454
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: not allowed to say Chicago because it seems like everybody

455
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 3: says Chicago. What is your favorite road city to visit

456
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 3: and hang out in?

457
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 4: Oh, that is a great question. I guess I would

458
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 4: have to say, Oh, my gosh, you guys, maybe the

459
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 4: Houston Astros Texas.

460
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm teasing. I don't mean to put you on

461
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 3: the spot.

462
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 4: You can say I really okay, thank you Texas Rangers.

463
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 2: People usually say Pittsburgh as well, because P and C

464
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: is a beautiful ballpark and is.

465
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 3: Pretty there, So there's oh, you'll have to you'll have

466
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 3: to go, you have to go. Obviously, we'll play him once.

467
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 2: Should they stay at the Haunted Hotel out there though.

468
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 3: No, but the Haunted Hotels in Milwaukee. That's in Milwaukee.

469
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: That's the Fister in Milwaukee. But you'll stay at the

470
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 3: Fairmont in Pittsburgh. And Pittsburgh is a sneaky, seaking good city. Amelia.

471
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 3: We're so happy that Dustin is doing better, and I

472
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 3: know that you're a big part of the reason why

473
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 3: he's back on that hill. We hope he shoves this year.

474
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for taking the time to just

475
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 3: give us a little bit of insight of what it's like,

476
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 3: you know, supporting him and being in your world. We

477
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 3: appreciate it. Best of luck and we'll talk to you soon,

478
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 3: my friend. Thank you, all right, Amelia may We appreciate it.

479
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: Let's get to Leslex Clinton.

480
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: Let's do it.

481
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 4: All right.

482
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 3: We've introduced you to Paisley before, but I'm bringing her

483
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: up again. Paisley is actually named after Brad Paisley, who

484
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: is a massive Dodger fan, so there's a little bit

485
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 3: of a Dodger connection there. She was at the divorce

486
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 3: shelter about to be euthanized just because she had an

487
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 3: up infection. That is not a reason to kill a

488
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 3: dog devor, But we got her out just in the

489
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 3: nick of time. She is very healthy. She is about

490
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 3: a year and a half years old. She is spade,

491
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 3: she's vaccinated, she's getting really good on a leash. She's

492
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 3: one potty trained, and she needs a forever home. If

493
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 3: you're interested in adopting Paisley, reach out to me on

494
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 3: all the social channels or Gidrie's guardian dot org for

495
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: more information on her. Right now, she's being fostered in

496
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 3: Santa Clarita, but she's looking for her forever home. So

497
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 3: let's let's give Paisley a forever home. All right, Clint,

498
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 3: Before we talk about your show, let's have a thought

499
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 3: for the road, a baseball thought for the road. And

500
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: you and I wanted to give a shout out to

501
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 3: Mike Di Giovanna who was on our show. Kind enough

502
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 3: DG to be on our show on Monday talking all

503
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 3: things Dodgers, and he's hanging him up, he's retiring your thoughts.

504
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 2: My main thoughts are one, congrats on a phenomenal career

505
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: to have that job for that long and still we

506
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 2: just had him on. Like you said on Monday, and

507
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: he still had a sunny disposition about him. Usually writers

508
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 2: beat writers aren't the most happy people in the world.

509
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: But he is a happy fellow.

510
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 2: And I'm sure he's very much looking forward to mostly retirement.

511
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 2: Of course, he's still going to be writing a little bit.

512
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 2: But also, Mike, you could have given us the exclusive

513
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: here on DT Come on, we could have shared it

514
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 2: out to the world.

515
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: Of course we knew beforehand. You had known.

516
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 2: He said he was going to post a nice thing

Speaker 2: phenomenal career to DJ Yeah, yeah, great.

00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 3: Well, I mean four decades at the La Times and

520
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 3: you can tell how well he's beloved and respected by

Speaker 3: on social media. So congratulations. And he's not completely completely

523
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 3: going to retire. He's going to be a freelancer. But

524
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 3: the thing is he got to walk away on his

525
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 3: own terms, and everybody wishes that they could do that.

526
