9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: good news, but no, it's pretty dark, to be honest,

10
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: and not funny dark like Lenny Bruce or or when

11
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: a kid falls down. It's just it's just dark and

12
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: full of despair. What's going on? Okay, I'll just say it.

13
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: I got some results back from my doctor. Oh my god,

00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: What is wrong with you? And yes, of course I'm scared.

16
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, why me? If it if it had to

17
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: happen to anyone, why not Carolina? You know because I

18
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: brush my teeth. Excuse me, I brush my teeth. I'm

19
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: not an animal. Well you have to brush twice a day,

20
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: So do you brush twice a day? Okay, Carolina, A

21
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: nice try. I wasn't born, do you mean you weren't

22
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: born yesterday, because that's listen. I'm not trying to trick you.

23
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: If you have to brush twice a day, when do

24
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: you brush your teeth? When do I brush my teeth

25
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: when everyone else does on holidays? You only brush your

26
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: teeth on holidays, well, not all holidays, I mean Presents

27
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Day isn't really a holiday, is it? So? So I

28
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: brushed during Christmas or New Year's I put on some

29
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: nice slacks, I brushed the mustache with my ivory comb,

30
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: and I brushed my choppers. It's the holiday, so you

31
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: want to do it up, and sometimes I forget. I'm

32
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: not perfect. Doesn't the smell of your breath bother you?

33
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: You mean the smell of rare steak and aged whiskey,

34
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: no Carolina, That doesn't bother me, just like the smell

35
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: of top ramen and cold brew coffee must not bother you.

36
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: Take it easy. Don't your teeth hurt? They felt fine,

37
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: like normal teeth, with the texture of wool, And then

38
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, I felt a pain as sharp as

39
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: zoos thunderbolt. So I went to the doctor. You went

40
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: to your general doctor, yes, Then he referred me to

41
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: a specialist you mean a dentist. Oh no, Carolina, are you?

42
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: Are you a cabbage survivor as well? I wouldn't call

43
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: myself a survivor, but yeah, what wicked webs we weave?

44
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: I think we should move on. All right? What are

45
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: we doing today? If anything? Well, are definitely doing something today,

46
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: and that's that's why we're here in the studio where

47
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: you're actually interviewing Clayton Kershaw. Oh right, okay, today we

48
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: have Clayton Kersha, the famous Croatian circus cloud. No, no, wait,

49
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: I didn't how many Clayton Kershaws are there? And I'm

50
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: talking about the Dodgers picture. Well, Carolina, I specifically asked you,

51
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: and I think I asked you upwards of fifty thousand

52
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: times to get Clayton Kersha, the Croatian circus clown. He

53
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: travels through Croatia in a wagon led by mules. And

54
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: that's who you wanted to interview, the Croatian circus for

55
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: the millionth time. Yes, I mean, does a baseball pitcher

56
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: even know anything about Croatia? I'm not sure. I mean,

57
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: maybe we just let's stay off the topic of Croatia.

58
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: It might not make sense to ask about it. I know,

59
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: but I when I think of Clayton Kersha, I'm gonna

60
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: think of Croatia. Just keep thinking about baseball, baseball questions.

61
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: So he's a baseball player for who the last Angels Dodgers. Oh, yes,

62
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw. That Clayton Kersha. Oh he's outstanding. You're very familiar,

63
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: very familiar. I can't wait to talk to him. In fact,

64
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: we will talk to him right after these messages. And

65
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: welcome back to the Ron Burgundy Podcast. We are very

66
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: excited to have here in the studio with us from

67
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Dodgers. Picture Clayton Kershaw. Clayton, welcome to

68
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: the podcast. Thanks for having me wrong appreciate it. Carolina.

69
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: Are you excited to meet Clayton Kershaw. I'm so excited.

70
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: I just learned about baseball and Ron walked me through

71
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: a game. Clayton, you're a lefty. I'm a lefty. Were

72
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: you always a lefty? Yes? The whole time, the whole time,

73
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: whole time. Never you never thought about switching to write.

74
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: I thought about it, but I just didn't work. It

75
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: didn't work, could not work. Does that give you an

76
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: upper hand? Um? You know there's less of us so

77
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: it's a little bit more unorthodox. So it definitely helps

78
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. For sure. The the left hander is

79
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: very valuable in Major League Baseball. Yes, but there are

80
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: no left added third baseman or catchers. Are you a

81
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: lefty wrong? I'm a yeah, I right lefty. So you

82
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: didn't play third base? I did? You did? That's why

83
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: we lost every game that I couldn't make the throw

84
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: across the diamond. You also read while you're on third base?

85
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: I did. I would read. I'd have a paperback novel

86
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: my back because I got base. I mean, you have to.

87
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of a boring game if you're if

88
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: you're not paying attention on the action, is you know,

89
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: intermittent at best? Yeah, you're right. I want to write that.

90
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad I fit that word in intermitted. That was

91
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: I have a word a day. I tried to fit

92
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: into my language. You were saying ardently a lot. I

93
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: said ardently times. Whether it's fit or not, it was

94
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: very intermittent. Did you play last night? We did? Yeah,

95
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: we played? And who who did you guys? We played

96
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: the Mets, New York Mets, and we won. I think

97
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: the final school was eight to five. And were you

98
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: at home or were you in New York? We were

99
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: in l A. Ok, yes, we were home. And how

100
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: are the Mets this year? Um, honestly, I don't know

101
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: what the record is. I think they're okay because you

102
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: don't care, right, you just play your game, Just play

103
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: down there, and yeah, they're a good team. I think

104
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: they'll be all right. Right, Yeah, what how many innings

105
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: did you throw through? Six? Things? I didn't throw very well? Wrong,

106
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: I had a rough game. Really, Yeah, it wasn't super great.

107
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: Well talk about thanks for asking? Yeah, no, it was good.

108
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: We did win. The main point when you when you

109
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: don't have a game that you feel great about, how

110
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: were you able to just you just gotta forget about it? Right? Yeah,

111
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: it's tough, you know, but as a starting pitcher, you

112
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: play once every five days, so you got like four

113
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: days to think about it and get back at it

114
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: that fifth day. So what's your advice to players whatever age?

115
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: In high school, middle school, we have a rough day, exactly, Well,

116
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. I think you know, everybody's gonna have

117
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: their bad days in baseball, right, But I think more

118
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: than anything, it's just about how you go about it.

119
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: And then baseball is a lot about how you handle failure.

120
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of failure in baseball, so

121
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: it's really important to be able to compartmentalize that. And

122
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: um go from there. And you have a son. So

123
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: when your son gets older, Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna be

124
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: super hard on him. I'm gonna keep the pressure, keep

125
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: turn up the heat, let him know. Yeah. Yeah, he's

126
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: got a lot to live up to. That's good. Yeah,

127
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: I like that. No, I just I just want to

128
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: have fun, you know. I just as long as he's

129
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: loving baseball, he can play as long as he wants.

130
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: But what if he's like dad, Sorry, I like Badminton.

131
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: I like leather bound books. What if he enjoys be great.

132
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: In fact, I have some leather band books around here somewhere.

133
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: I also have a loaf of bread. There it is.

134
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: That's my lucky loaf of sour dough. There the listeners,

Speaker 1: there's a there's a giant loaf of sour dough bread.

136
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: It's kind of like when a Laddin would bite into

137
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: a sour dough in the cartoon. I don't remember that, Okay, sorry,

00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: team in Albany? Never been all right? Ah, Miami, it's

153
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: it's a fun city, right The team's not great right now?

154
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: So the fan atmosphere lacks a little bit, like there's

155
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: no one there, not a lot what would you say,

156
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 1: like a thousand people in the stands. It feels like that,

157
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: it really does. Can you you guys can hear individual

158
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: fans It is way worse when there's less people, because

159
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 1: you can hear the youth sucks way more like way more.

160
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: That's what I've heard. I heard. I heard someone was

161
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: saying that professional ball players you can never acknowledge anything

162
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: that the fans say to you. You're right, but because

163
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: if you do, they'll know you can hear them. Yes,

164
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: but sometimes you can't help it. Some of it's so

165
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: funny though, wrong. What's the weird? Well, some of them

166
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: do their research, right, Like they know your wife's name,

167
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: your kids names. Yeah, I mean, they know where you're born.

168
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: You know, they know anything that Wikipedia has, they'll find

169
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: it and say it. And you've got to give them

170
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: a little credit. They've done their research. But you know,

171
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: I just appreciate a good old you know, you suck,

172
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, I mean that's just yeah, it's good. You

173
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: can't can't fight that, Just say thank you and move on.

174
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: You appreciate the fact that they're as tough of fans

175
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: as you would want it. Dodger Stadium, exactly right, Yeah,

176
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: I hope we give it give it right, yeah, give

177
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: it back. You've you've won three Cy Young Awards? Is

178
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: that correct? Correct? Who is Cy Young? Does anyone know?

179
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: And then and and my research shows me. And so

180
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: in two thousand eleven, you won Baseball's pitching Triple Crown.

181
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: What what is that? Exactly? Wins, wins versus losses, E,

182
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: R A, and U, strikeouts, strikeouts. So you were the

183
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: league leader in all three of those. And then that

184
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: next year in did you just did you brag to everyone,

185
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: all the other opposing players like triple Crown winner last year?

186
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: Everybody I saw. I just kind of wrote it on

187
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: my forehead. I mean, you've been described throughout your career

188
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: as the best picture in baseball? Do you ever just

189
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: scream that at people? Like if you can't get into

190
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, Chili's Friday Night, I'm sorry, Mr, Do you

191
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: just scream at the hostess, I'm the best pitcher in baseball?

192
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely great. You can't borrow that for Chilies, by the way,

193
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: it's for Clayton. You can't just yell that. Well, I'm

194
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 1: now going to say I know the best pitcher in baseball.

195
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: You can see that, give me a booth. You know

196
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: what I like about Chilies, though, is they don't play favorites.

197
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: So you say that, well, yeah, and you're gonna wait

198
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. Everybody cannot fault chilies for that. That's right,

199
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: they don't they The only democracy laugh is chilies are Um.

200
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, what's it like to be

201
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: a Dodger with all that baseball history. It's awesome, It's

202
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: got to be. It's great. I love it. One of

203
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: these storied franchises in base not on baseball, but all

204
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: of sports. So cool when you put that uniform on,

205
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: do you do you sometimes wet your pants? I do? Yeah, Okay, yeah,

206
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: I mean it's so many cool people that have been

207
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: part of the Dodgers. It's really special. I can think

208
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: of all of them, Burt hooting Um, who else? Ah,

209
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: mostly Burt hooton all of them, Doug raw Um, I

210
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: haven't heard of Doug Doug rawl Burt hooting Um book

211
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: who wrong name? Sorry, No, I don't. Here's here's something

212
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: that always drives me crazy. I don't think Sandy Kofax

213
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: gets enough credit. Four no hitters, a perfect game, all

214
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: this while being the first and last Jewish woman ever

215
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: to pitch in the big leagues. Why is that overlooked?

216
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: It should not be. I mean, no one brings that up.

217
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: Nobody There's there hasn't been a female pitcher in baseball

218
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: before or since? And and this lady, have you ever

219
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: seen a picture of like? I can't. I can't say

220
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: that I have. You might want to just google that, Oh,

221
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: check that out? Okay, Yeah, anyway, I just don't know

222
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: why people don't make a bigger deal. I agree about

223
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: the fact that you know, Sandra ko Fax amazing player,

224
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: one of my favorites, even though I don't know what

225
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: she looks. I couldn't pick her out of a lineup

226
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: if I had to. If if they said to me,

227
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: Sandy Kofax is down the building, I'd be really nervous

228
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: and I'd say, where is she? What sort of dressing? Sandy?

229
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: Raise your hand? Now? Is it true that your your

230
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: great uncle discovered the planet Pluto? Is very true? Yes, Clyde, Tomball,

231
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: Clyde is he really was? He really pissed when they

232
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: said Pluto wasn't a planet. He the family was sure.

233
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of you know, we have for

234
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: those listeners. Clayton's great uncle was I assume an astronomer

235
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: or astrophysicists or something. Yeah, he discovered Pluto would be

236
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: great if he's just an insurance silver and he just that. Yeah,

237
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it Pluto. But he discovered Pluto did

238
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: and then when they said it was not a planet,

239
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: devastating to the my mom's maiden name Tomba family went crazy. Yes,

240
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: I think it's mean to take it back. I think

241
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: it is too. I mean what, yeah, who who gets

242
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: the authority on planet naming or finding? You know, what's

243
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: the governing body that can take that away? I don't know.

244
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: So they think that Pluto is just a ball of

245
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: inert gas, don't laugh, run run you know where I

246
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: get a ball of inner gas. After after I eat

247
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: a chilies. I was waiting for that one. Good. Okay,

248
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: got that joke in. That was good. Um. I mean

249
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: when you retire, do you feel like you need to

250
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: discover a planet? I would love to. I don't know.

251
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: I feel like everything's I mean, when you're out of baseball,

252
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: what is Clayton Kershaw? I think he's gonna do? Can

253
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: I can I maybe help you out with the podcast? Wrong?

254
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I would love it. I think all

255
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: positions are Oh they're final. I could be an intern,

256
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: non paid. You know what, worked your way up from

257
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: the bottom, right, I'll pay to learn the craft of

258
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: podcasting Roun constantly threads to replace me. So I'm just

259
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: really need I won't take your job. I won't do that.

260
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: I won't do that. I gotta ask you this. So, Carolina,

261
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: you may not know this, but the Dodgers are in

262
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: the National League, yes, and the pictures in the National

263
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: League have to hit with a sad sack American League.

264
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: They don't have to hit what's called a designated hitter.

265
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: What do you enjoy hitting as a picture? I love

266
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: taking batting practice. Okay, so that's fun because you get

267
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: to hit maybe a home run in batting practice and

268
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: it's really fun. But then when it comes to the game, Yeah,

269
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: that's more difficult. It takes you out of your rhythm. Well,

270
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: it's just it's hard and it's hard. Yeah. Hitting is

271
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: like really hard, like the hardest thing to do in

272
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: sports in my opinion. And I don't practice a lot

273
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: um and it's you're facing guys that throw really hard

274
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: and it's just hard. It's hard to do. The batting

275
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: practice is fun. They throw it right there for you,

276
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: right down Broadway, as they say, beautiful stadiums. You get

277
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: to be a kid again, no pressure. It's awesome. Do

278
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: you ever yelled at the opposing picture like, hey, just

279
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: come on, throw it. Throw easy and I'll throw easy

280
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: on you. No, because then I have to throw easy

281
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: to them, and that's no fun. I gave up a

282
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: hit to a picture yesterday. Oh jeez, you get you

283
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: get ribbed in the clubhouse for that. I told you

284
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: how to rough game yesterday. Note for our listeners, the

285
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: game reference by Clayton Kershaw took place in May, not

286
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: in the fall when this podcast is airing. Therefore, if

287
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: there's any confusion, that's what happened. The game happened earlier

288
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: in the season. Thank you for your patience. Good thank you.

289
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: Jacob deGrom didn't he used to beautiful flowing locks of hair.

290
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: He did, he can, and he cut it all off.

291
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I trust me. If you've got

292
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: a luscious mane of hair, don't don't get rid of it,

293
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: because once it's gone, there's a good chance it's never

294
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: coming back. Sometimes it grows. I never cut my hair,

295
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: and it never grows. It's the same link all the time.

296
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: It's a genetic imperfection. Oh my god, I was born

297
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: with this head of hair. Yes, as a baby. Yes,

298
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: that's so insane and the doctor was like, this is

299
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: one gorgeous kid. Um. How many Dodger dogs have you

358
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: school for that, which would have been a problem because

359
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't. You went straight out of high school.

360
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,600

361
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: my Hey, I've got four years. I would have been

362
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: in college. So I got four years and then I

363
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: would have had to think about some things probably, but

364
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: thank god it worked out. It did work out. Scouted,

365
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: how old were you when you started getting scouted? High school? Yeah,

366
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: but you were like a senior, junior, senior, and you

367
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: get a choice. We probably were being offered college scholarships.

368
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: I didn't have some. I could have gone to college.

369
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: I was actually gonna go to Texas A and M University,

370
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: and then you just decided, let's just go for it. Yeah.

371
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: I decided, Yeah, why not. I want to play baseball.

372
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: I didn't want to go to school. Yeah, I just

373
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: did it the whole time. Though. You were still going

374
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: to night school, right, yeah, still doing that. But to

375
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: to study to become a dermatologist, you don't have to

376
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: go to college for that. I don't think so. No,

377
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: I think it's the one medical fieldlogist. My dermatologist never

378
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: went to school. I know he In fact, he a

379
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 1: double a baseball. Yeah. He was a catcher and you

380
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 1: have a huge mole. Yeah, I have. I have a

381
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: mole on the back of my neck. I think he

382
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: referred to it as a home run. I also have

383
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: a cavity. We have to let that one go. It's

384
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: not as bad as you and and my dentist was

385
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: also a former minor league ball player, so life is

386
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: funny that way. Do you have a good dermatologist? Do

387
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: you need one? You should see My guy sounds good

388
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: oddly enough. You know what his name is, Sandy. He's

389
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: a guy though, he's a guy. Okay, okay, which is

390
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: a weird name for a guy. Um, do you ever

391
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: get jocketch. I'm just gonna cut to the chase. I've learned.

392
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: I've learned my lesson. Yeah, um, yeah, you have the

393
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: baby powder is a must. I once got jocketch right,

394
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: and then I made the mistake of scratching my eyes

395
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: and I had jocketch all in my eyes. Oh my god,

396
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: chockic in my eyeballs. Never heard of that. But then

397
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: I went to eat all you can eat sushi. It

398
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: was a hell of a weekend, Oh my god. In fact,

399
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: that was one of the places that had an A rating.

400
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: And they're like, thanks to you, Mr Burgundy, we've gotta

401
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: be rating. We've got jockeys all in our sushi. But

402
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: you've heard that phrase, I got jockey itch all up

403
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: in my sushi. I don't think I think that's a

404
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: bad situation. I feel like I heard it in a

405
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: hip hop song. That's something that's new in baseball. Everyone

406
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: has a play on like, so when you go to

407
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: the plate, a walk up. So what are your thoughts?

408
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? I'm more of a purist. I

409
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: just like a little organ music, maybe a little organ

410
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: Casey in the Sunshine band, Dent d d d Dan

411
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 1: Dan Dan Dan Dan Dan. That's the way I like it. Uh,

412
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: take me out to the ball game. And that's about it.

413
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: But now there's all everyone's got a song. It's a

414
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: it's a it's a bit of a thing. Do you

415
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: guys change their song if they're slump? Okay, it's a

416
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: it's a whole ordeal. Yeah yeah. Do you have any

417
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: good luck? Ritual it's a very ritualistic game. Yes, you

418
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: probably have a hole. You don't want to share them? Well,

419
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: you don't have to talk about it, Okay, I've worn

420
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: the same glove for a long time. Yeah, that's no

421
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: big deal. Like ten years it's yeah, not a big deal.

422
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: Like do I wear like my same underwear like all

423
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: that stuff? Oh? You do? I do? I mean I

424
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: wash them. But I've warned the same ones for a

425
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: while when I pitched you do that, I war the

426
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: same underwear washed. I only have three pair of underwear

427
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: we got for your birthday and they're not lucky yet.

428
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: What's the craziest superstition you've heard of? Any of your teammates?

429
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: You don't have to say who? Let me think here?

430
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: Um well, actually you know the craziest guy. I can

431
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: say a name here because they're okay with it. Yes,

432
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: he's retired, Um no more. Yeah, I played with No Maar.

433
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: And the amount of stuff that he did with his

434
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: batting gloves and his bad and he had that it

435
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: was a whole thing. I mean, how do you remember

436
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: all that? It's amazing. He probably just naturally does it.

437
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: Just twitched all the time. Yeah, I mean it was.

438
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: It was amazing. I don't sleep well at night, partly

439
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: because I get up every fifteen minutes, circle three times

440
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: and go back to the bed every fifteen minutes. That's

441
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: my ritual. That's tough. To help me have a good

442
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: night's sleep, but it really backfires. Yeah. Yeah, baseball is

443
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: a lot of guys do weird stuff, Yes, no doubt.

444
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: Does Ellen your wife ever say okay Clayton cut it out? Yeah,

445
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: yeah she does. Yeah. I mean I think since I've

446
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: had kids, I've probably toned down my because when I

447
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: used to pitch, like when I on my start days,

448
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: I used to not be like a very pleasant person

449
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: to be around, just kind of like super serious. Now

450
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 1: with kids, they don't let that happen. So it's been

451
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: it's been better, but still a little bit. So. Yeah,

452
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: you let the kids know daddy's got to work. Yeah,

453
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: they know. I mean, yeah, I try to be better,

454
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: but they know, get your hands off my pitcha glove.

455
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm your father, Clayton Kershaw. You know I haven't said

456
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: that to him yet. Okay, Yeah, Well to their own, Yeah,

457
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: to teach their own. Before you go in to deliver

458
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: the news, what do you tell Walter, Well, I tell

459
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: everyone on the news team, don't forget I'm Ron Burgundy

460
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: and you're not have a great show. That's yeah, it's

461
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: not really wishing them well, but no, but it just

462
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: sets the tone. Do you ever say to your your

463
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: do you ever gather up the team before and and say, guys,

464
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: if you make an air, I'm gonna punch you in

465
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: the nutsack um. I haven't tried that method before. I

466
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: don't know if fear is the best thing for guys

467
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: playing behind you. Do you say that to your news team?

468
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: Like if they mess up? If they mess uh, they don't,

469
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: I say, guys, don't mess up, you know you'll be

470
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: in the dog ours with me. And if I mess up,

471
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about it. That seems wildly unfair. Well,

472
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: I've got the I've got the juice. You know they

473
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: don't yea, So now they don't really like me that

474
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: much they want to hang around with me. But I

475
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: think we deliver a great product. I would agree. What

476
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: is behind the superstition of when a picture is throwing

477
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: a no hitter, the team will not talk to that picture.

478
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: And when is that determination made? Right around the fifth inning?

479
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: Sixth inning? Yeah, I would say fifth or sixth inning.

480
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: It's probably fair at that point. And then I don't

481
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: know when that started, like you just kind of let

482
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: them have their own space and the dugout. I don't

483
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: know when that starts. It's it's a little bit freaky

484
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: because you see the guy just sitting there. You don't

485
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: you don't want to mess with him. If I was

486
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: on your team, I would be like, Clayton, how are

487
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: you doing? Do you need? Do you want like a

488
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: hot dog? Hot dog, old towel or anything? Can I

489
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: give you a shoulder rub? You'd probably punched me. Yeah,

490
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: I mean, intentions are good there, but I think if

491
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: you're the guy that talked to him and then he

492
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: gave up a hit, you're that guy. It's not his fault,

493
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: it's your fault. Wow. Yeah, I have to cut two.

494
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: I love you and your wife have been together since

495
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: you were Yeah, that's a beautiful thing. That's a beautiful thing.

496
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: So did you go to prom together? We went to

497
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: prom together? Yeah? She went to college though. What was

498
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: the hit song at prom? Do you remember? I don't

499
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: really might have been Backstreet? Yeah maybe yeah, maybe, or

500
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: like Christina Aguilera possibly something in there. Yeah. And how

501
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: did you ask her out? When you're fifteen? Passing period?

502
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: Like after one class, so that way you only have

503
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: five minutes so you don't have to like talk around

504
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: with small talk after Hey, you want to go out. Okay, cool,

505
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: I gotta go to class. And then did you say, Hi,

506
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm Clayton Kershaw. I'm one day going to be a

507
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: dominant pitcher in Major League Ill would you like to

508
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: go on a date? I didn't know that at the time. Okay,

509
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: that would have been a very That's true. That's true,

510
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: and the rest is history. That's it. She stuck around.

511
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll go back to high school. It's never too late.

512
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean. Well, on that note, Clayton Kershaw, we cannot

Speaker 1: to specifically ask you about. I can't wait. I can't wait.

519

520
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: that'll be one of the heckles. It won't be It'll

521
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: just be questions. It will just be a lot of questions. Yeah, yeah, right,

522
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: it will be impolite. Okay, Clayton Kershaw, thanks again, We

523
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. Right back on the Ron Burgundy podcast,

Speaker 1: And we are back here on the Ron Burgundy Podcast.

525
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: What a light Clayton Kershaw turned out to be? And

526
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 1: dare I say a Wonka Wonka come again? Hubba hubbay

527
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: goga Google. Handsome baby, that's a little much. I mean,

528
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: gave me a sweet tooth, if you know what I mean?

529
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: Kind of right? I mean, Carolina, he's handsome, he's he's

530
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: a Yeah, he's a handsome human. We gotta take it easy, No,

531
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying for you. Yeah, I mean he's very happily married.

532
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: His wife is lovely. Allen, still right, you gotta layoff this.

533
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. Who it was hard for me to

534
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: not get lost in those dreamy eyes. Is you had

535
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: dried up drool on the corner of your mouth? Did

536
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: I interview? That's embarrassing. You got to give me a

537
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: signal next time. Well, kept on refreshing. Did I get

538
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: those little white spit corners that Donald Trump develops after

539
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: he's snorted too much? Adderall? Yeah, exactly? Okay, Well, okay,

540
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: what's wrong? What are you thinking about? No, I'm just

541
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: starting to think about my cavity again. Should I tell

542
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: my friends? I mean, I don't want people to worry.

543
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: I promised you nobody will worry. I'll need you to

544
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: pick me up from the surgery, of course, and bring crutches.

545
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: It's not like that. I don't know what information you

546
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: have is. It's not like I need the crutches necessarily

547
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: to walk. I just need people to know, Oh, he's

548
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: had surgery. Stay away from me. Creates like a force

549
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: field around here. You'll be completely fine. How will my

550
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: sight be after the procedure? Is there a chance I

551
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 1: will lose my sight? No, you will have the same

552
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: exact Well, that's a relief in fact in some instances.

553
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: I wonder if when you get cavity surgery does your

554
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: does your vision get better? I've never heard of this,

555
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: like when you hit your head and you've all of

556
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: a sudden learned a foreign language. Again, never heard of

557
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: that happening. I might vision perhaps well, oh Ron, before

558
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: I forget. Yes, we spoke multiple times about Clayton's game

559
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: last night with the Mets. Right. This podcast will be

560
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: airing in the fall, So maybe we just I'm so stupid.

561
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: Not that's not necessary. Maybe we just you can seamlessly

562
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: stupid and the stupidest man on planet Earth. I hate

563
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: when I do that, so I'll fix it. Yeah, I

564
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: know exactly what to do. Are you sure you don't

565
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: want me to? I know a seamless way to fix it. Okay, Well,

566
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: no offense to the Dodge's picture. But next week in

567
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: the studio we will have Croatian clown Clayton Kersha. It's

568
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: going to scare all the little children into brushing my teeth.

569
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a little army of children that brush

570
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: your teeth. Yes, well, you said I needed to brush

571
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: my teeth more. Is that easier than brushing your own teeth?

572
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: It's just something I won't have to child labor. It's

573
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: not child labor. Just some children coming over your house

574
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: in morning and at night on a regular cycle to

575
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: brush my teeth because they want to do it, because

576
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: they know the ramifications of the Croatian clown showing up

577
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: in their closet while they sleep. If they don't perform

578
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: their task, terrible, terrible myth to spread to children. Is

579
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: it more terrible to have a mouth rotting with tooth

580
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: the cay? No, your honor, I rest my case, Thank you, No,

581
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,000
