00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: people who listen to the show who won't ever review,

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,720

00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: in La. The Dodgers aren't first place in the NL West,

16
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: and I'm going to get tacos with my friend.

17
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 4: Do you want to introduce yourself?

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: My name is Wes Sabila, a chef here in Los Angeles.

19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: You know Wes from our episode First Place Problems.

20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: All you do is want them to win one, win

21
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 3: a World three so I can shut up about the

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 3: Mickey Mouse frame. Win one and then I'll be all

23
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: shut up for a while.

24
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: Wes and I wrote a cookbook together. You and I

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: are very different baseball fans, and we both roll deep

26
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Dodgers. When there's a close game,

27
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: You'll turn I have to shut a game off and

28
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: walk away.

29
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 3: I have to shut it up. And it's like, no,

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: they're doing it on purpose to.

31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: Hurt that I hurt.

32
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 4: Is baseball is suppressing.

33
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: Wes is one of my favorite people to talk Dodgers

34
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: with or to go catch a game with. And we

35
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: have the best record in baseball right now.

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: We've been like, we've been kind of semi ass right

37
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: after the All Star Game, you know what I mean.

38
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: And Wes has one chief complaint when it comes to

39
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: our beloved boys in Blue.

40
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: They're too nice, Like Freddie's the mayor of first base.

41
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: Mookie smiles and you know Tao, like I wish had

42
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: the fire, but he's always smiling. Yeah, he smells more

43
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: than Mookie. It's like, man, all the guys are just happy.

44
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: I mean, they're in La like the sunshine and all

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 3: that good stuff. You shouldn't be smiling that much.

46
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: And I have to say I kind of agree. You

47
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: see Mooki on the field before games, giving players on

48
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: opposing teams hugs. The famously friendly first baseman Freddie Freeman,

49
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: always chatting anybody up who gets a base hit, congratulating

50
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: them on their achievement. And in the meantime there's a

51
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: Pennant race going on, and unlike other years, our Dodgers

52
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: are gonna have to fight. Well, that's the big headline

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: is that this year, as opposed to other years, what

54
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: we're used to is being so far ahead that there

55
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: are no stakes at this point and running away with

56
00:02:59,120 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: the division.

57
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 4: But it's not happening this year. The NL West is

58
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: a real race. It's a dogfight.

59
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: The entire NL West since the All Star Break has

60
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: collectively had a seven hundred winning percentage or something like that.

61
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: So the NL West is playing really really hot right now,

62
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: even Colorado. When Colorado's mixed up in things, you know,

63
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: it's the wild, wild West. And unlike elliott Ness, the

64
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: Dodgers are not untouchable. Wes and I have been concerned

65
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: about the lack of competitive edge. We told you about

66
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: this on our First Place Problems episode.

67
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: Dodgers are not scrappy at all. I mean, come on,

68
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: it's be real like they're not.

69
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: What's missing is just a little bit more attitude in

70
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: the play. But this week we might have found our

71
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: solution to help us stop smiling.

72
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: The last two games. I'm like excited with Munsie back.

73
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 4: Months.

74
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: But Munsi is back this week and his first two

75
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: games back, he's.

76
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: Looked really good. Hard bride Feld Max.

77
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: Monson, Oh yeah, he looks like he's hungry for its.

78
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: Two guys two times.

79
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: Got that attitude when he hits it, the bat flip guy.

80
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: You know, he's so much attitude. It's awesome.

81
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: Mac Month, that funky month Sy is back.

82
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 5: If you don't want me to watch the ball, you

83
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 5: can go get to out of the Ocean, the Ocean.

84
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: Welcome to Dodger Blue Dream.

85
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm Richard Parks the third and today we're taking a

86
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: trip to East Los for tacos and conversation about one

87
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: of our funkiest FIREUS players who's just backed from the

88
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: injured list and not a moment too soon. Today's episode

89
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: back to the Max Maxwell. Steven Munsei has been a

90
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: Dodger since twenty eighteen, and during that time he has

91
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: had four thirty plus home run seasons. He got to

92
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: twenty home runs in his one hundred and eighty third

93
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: at bat as a Dodger, which is a franchise record.

94
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: He's been an All Star, he participated in the home

95
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: run Derby, and he's a fairly versatile infielder. He's played first,

96
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: he's played second, and this year he was supposed to

97
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: be our third baseman.

98
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 4: Texan by the way.

99
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: Girthy dude the kind of physique that calls to mind

100
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: the John Cruck quote. I'm not an athlete, lady, I'm

101
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: a baseball player.

102
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: Max Munse swings out the.

103
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: Only needed one.

104
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: He'll take him off.

105
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: Mounsey, of course, was a part of the twenty twenty

106
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: World Series winning Dodgers team, and he seems to be

107
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: better in the big moments. Who could forget when the

108
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,119
Speaker 1: longest game in World Series history ended with a walk

109
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: off home run hit by Max.

110
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 6: Muncie Boxie flies one in the air to left center,

111
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 6: back at the wallhead.

112
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 4: It's over on.

113
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: Tim Neverett, the Dodgers play by play announcer on the

114
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: radio broadcast, even has a signature call specifically for those

115
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: Monsy home runs.

116
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 3: Actually watch to hide drive the white center foilheads, God.

117
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 4: Sway, the silver Head and he plays with swag.

118
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 7: Now Busy's been thrown out of the game, and he

119
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 7: too will get his money's worth.

120
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: He gets kicked out, he gets ejected.

121
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: It's typical for Munsie to pause for a moment, standing

122
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: at the plate and stare lovingly as his homers fly

123
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: up into the ninth sky and eventually land in the

124
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: bleachers or, in one famous instance, into the San Francisco Bay.

125
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 6: Unci hits called a deep right field. Forget about it,

126
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 6: man s with us flash hit. It's the words for

127
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 6: bung Garner as he rounds the bases with his thirteenth

128
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 6: home out of this season.

129
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 4: Hearn no what nothing for a steady league.

130
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: He likes trash talking, picking at our rival teams, soft

131
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: spots bad Max, with.

132
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 4: A few more words for bad bomber. The Dodger Giant

133
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 4: rivalry is alive.

134
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 8: Yesterday Munsey catching the eye of the baseball world with

135
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 8: this gargantuan shot into the Pacific Ocean. He always Edgy Madison.

136
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: Bung Garner, who took exception to.

137
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 8: Munsi admiring the Titanic blast, wants to stop watching it run,

138
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 8: but muncie a fantastic response for which he.

139
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: Said, don't watch the ball, you run and I just

140
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: just gone it back.

141
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 5: If you don't want me to watch the ball, you

142
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 5: can go get it out of the ocean.

143
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 4: Mad bum, So ice for that mad bird.

144
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: He's that guy. You know what I mean. Go get

145
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: the ball out of the ocean.

146
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: Go get it out of the ocean. It became a

147
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: meme in Dodgerland. It's on T shirts and it's a

148
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: rallying cry for this team when this team needs to fight.

149
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: I like Muncie a lot. And when he gets hot,

150
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: he gets real, real good and scary.

151
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: And Munsey was supposed to be a big part of

152
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: this twenty twenty four Dodgers team, playing third base and

153
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: mashing home runs from the left side of the plate

154
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: and providing much needed down the line of protection for

155
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: the likes of show Hey, Freddy and Mookie and Monsey's

156
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: season got off to a really strong start. He had

157
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: been working on his defense the entire offseason, and it

158
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: showed he was playing a really good third base and.

159
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 6: Breaking so he sends a flyboat a beat silver Fields

160
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 6: run this one in the air, beat dread silver Field,

161
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 6: scraping the step.

162
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: Believing he even had a three home run.

163
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: Dad's time pay home runs for Max month soon, but

164
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: then on May fifteenth, it.

165
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 9: Happened yesterday during batting practice and he felt on a

166
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 9: swing it just kind of grabbed a little bit, and

167
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 9: so he got hurting practice short. Had an MRI today

168
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 9: this morning, a mild strained Grade.

169
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 4: One and he strained his oblique.

170
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 9: Giving him a handful of days to recover. I'm sure

171
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 9: he's not going to swing a bat for a couple

172
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 9: two three days and then the hope is he'll be

173
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 9: back online on the eleventh day.

174
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 4: But then it dragged on way longer than that.

175
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: Do you know what happened to Max Munsey?

176
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: He's still on the injured list, First and foremost, how

177
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: are you progressing? Obliques and hamstrings are a pain in

178
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 3: the ass?

179
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, we're hanging in there being hurt. It's

180
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 5: probably the worst thing ever, not progressing as fast as

181
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 5: I would like. There's nothing you can really do for that,

182
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 5: and so it's just the way for it to you.

183
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 4: And is Max doing right now?

184
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 9: He's going to take another week off, and.

185
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: It seemed each time he'd come close to coming back,

186
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: there'd be another setback in his injury.

187
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 4: Where are we in this process to maybe see Max months.

188
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 5: He back, not entirely sure. You know, things just aren't

189
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 5: rebounding as well as we've been wanting them to. And

190
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 5: you know, we're trying to slow play it, and you know,

191
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 5: just make sure.

192
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: Days turned into weeks turned into months, Max months monthses.

193
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 5: My body just hasn't cooperated it and hasn't bounced back

194
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 5: to a lot of the treatments that we've been trying

195
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 5: to do. And we don't know what the timetable is yet,

196
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 5: but we're hoping we'll be out there at some point.

197
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: Something like third base is a position you want a

198
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: lot of offensive production from. But in Munsie's absence, let's

199
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: just say nobody's been swinging the silver hammer over there.

200
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 7: Okay, They say the bleak muscle works more than any

201
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 7: other muscle in the body.

202
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: Munsey's oblique took so long to heal. I reached out

203
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: to a physical therapist and lifelong Dodger fan Roger Hill

204
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: to help me understand this bizarre injury.

205
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 7: Throwing swinging, bending over to get you reaching for a ball,

206
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 7: the bleaks you're working all the time.

207
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: Maybe Maxwell was swinging that silver hammer just too darn hard.

208
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 7: He never takes a cheap swing does. I mean, he

209
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 7: just attacks that thing that may have been part of

210
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 7: the factor in.

211
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 4: The station so long.

212
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: Maybe all that extra effort and swag just made Max

213
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: Munsey's recovery time all the longer. By the time the

214
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: Dodgers were opening a homestand earlier this week, Max had

215
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: been out for a grand total of three monthies.

216
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 10: But now at long last, Monthly is backs.

217
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 4: Sounds welcome back to the field.

218
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, it feels amazing one a couple of months for me,

219
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 5: especially when you're not really sure exactly what your timetable

220
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 5: is when you might be back.

221
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: Monthly is providing the Dodgers with some very much needed

222
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: pop and that funky, fiery swagger for which he is known.

223
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 3: Mac like, I think the Dodgers need a balance of

224
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 3: kind of a bad guy, kind of a guy who's

225
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: a little bit more aggressive, and Max Onze is it.

226
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 3: He's looking good. He's looking real good. If they get

227
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 3: hot right now and stay hot through the post, what

228
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 3: do we got like a month and a half, you know,

229
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 3: that's two months? Like all right, cool? Those are the

230
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 3: kind of guys you want hot, you know, because show

231
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 3: hey and Mookie's like back, you know, so three v

232
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 3: MVPs are back, so should be pretty good.

233
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 6: Should be pretty good.

234
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: Normally with the Dodgers, we win so many games during

235
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: the regular season. Our critics say that the team tends

236
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: to get a little too comfortable down the stretch around

237
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: this time of year, so then when the postseason finally arrives,

238
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 1: we're not in shape for the high stakes games and

239
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: the short series. We're just too used to winning all

240
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: the time. Some even say we get complacent, and we

241
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: have gotten bounced early in the playoffs a lot lately.

242
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 3: So we're pulling up up right in front of the shop.

243
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: But again this year, the division race is tight in

244
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: first place, but Arizona and San Diego are nipping at

245
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: our heels. Even San Francisco is in it somewhere farther

246
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: back there.

247
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: All right, taco.

248
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 1: Time, Maybe this close competition is exactly what we need,

249
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: I think. So it's called the fire.

250
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 4: That and tacos.

251
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 3: That's the quatri quatro, those Chicali tacosques churchin.

252
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 9: US.

253
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:41,360
