I am so excited about this show today, guys, because we have an incredibly special guest joining us. Not only a man that does so much in his own community, we'll get to that, but a massive Dodgers fan,

award-winning songwriter, musician, guitarist, great guy all the way around Brad Paisley joining the show today. Brad, thank you so much for being a part of the show today. I'm thrilled to be here. This is my favorite thing to talk about right now. Yes, the Dodgers. I know that you're a huge fan. Before we get into your fandom and how that came about, I want to talk to you about something that is super cool. I saw when you gave Mooky Betts, the Dodgers shortstop, a fender that you presented to him. And John Suu, the team photographer, wanted me to tell you, Brad,

that Mookie has been practicing on your fender a ton. How did this come about? How did you find out Mook was learning the guitar? And what made you want to do this? Well, I mean, it's well known. He's practicing the guitar. And first of all, I find that offensive. But he's because he's too good at everything.

And I figured, you know, It was something where I saw that he had a certain guitar and I thought, you know what, I should give him. That's one of my vendor models they make. And I was like, we should give him one of these. And I actually reached out to his people and just said, does he want an electric to learn on? And they said immediately yes. But what's weird is when I handed it to him, he winced. Like you'd maybe hurt his back.

So it was you. The oblique was because of Brad Paisley. I don't think it was me. They keep talking about him going around the bases and maybe heard something, but now I saw him wince when I handed him that guitar. Yeah, you know, what I was wondering, I mean, obviously with where you're at there,

it's a guitar or a guitar, where are you at in that range? Guitar. I just want to make sure. I want to make sure. Have you heard him play at all? Mookie play at all? No, I haven't.

I handed it to him on the field and we didn't stop the game or anything. So I haven't heard him, though. I anxiously await his debut. It could go either way, folks. He's really good at what he tackles. As you know, Alana, I mean, you've seen him. It's like the guy just dives in. But this is a different animal.

I mean, it could be, it could be, you know, wonderful. And it also could be, I want that back. Brad, so I'm hesitant to admit this to our live audience. I don't even think Alana and Clint know, but back in my prime, my college days, I actually sang the national anthem for a couple of spring training games. Now, the difference between yours and mine is that yours were actually great. Mine not so much.

Oh, I don't know about that. Mine don't go 18 innings. Yours tend to, you tend to give us a little bit of free baseball. Are you aware of the effect that you have, especially in the postseason, with your performances? Yeah, it's pretty fun, actually. It's a great stat in the sense that we usually win, so I'm good with that.

But it's a very strange, you almost couldn't, you couldn't plan for it. I mean, it's the type of thing that I don't think it'll probably ever happen again. No one's going to have, I don't think anybody's going to have the anthem of the two, the two longest games in World series history, two 18 inning games. In addition to the one

just as memorable, maybe more memorable, honestly, was game one against the Yankees with Freddy's walkoff Grand Slam. So having sung for all those, it's a wild feeling. It's like in the middle

of the in the middle of game three in the last world series, I just kept thinking no way. When it got to the 10th, and then the 11th. And at that point, I thought, well, this is really wild. And this is what I thought.

I thought my last couple World Series went extras, including the longest ever. By the time I got to the 18th, I was like, this is insane. This is it. And I remember when they said around the 14th inning, they were like, well, this is officially the second longest world series in history, world series game in history. And I thought, well, I was saying it the other one. And then the next thing you know, it goes 18. I don't really, and then I ran into all these people, you know, it was a fun stat that got talked about. It's a hard thing to end up in some sort of baseball trivia book without actually ever having played.

But it's fun. You are such a fan of the team, but certainly the fan of the players too, personally. I know you have a great relationship with Clayton and Ellen Kirschaw. How odd was it or is it for you to not see Kirsch wearing a uniform? and just seeing him kind of hanging out and enjoying it in a different way. I know during the ring ceremony, you got to hang out with him a little bit and watch the game with Kirsch with a different perspective. It was unbelievable.

It was so surreal to see him gallop onto the field. They did it really cool. They had oral pretend to throw out the first pitch and then act like he hurt his arm. And Doc came out and motion to the bullpen. or whatever and now pitching in relief please welcome you know and they've started tonight we're young as he ran out and you know and he wore a jersey one last time when he ran out there and uh is wild you know it was the feeling of a new era like in that moment more than anything um that i have sort of felt like

And he was so, he's so, as you know, he's the most down-to-earth human being you'll ever meet. And he's so at peace with it and grounded with it, I think. And he, like, I know it had to be weird for him, but he just kept kind of grinning. And even we went to, we went up and watched from a suite. And that was something I will cherish for the rest of my life is getting to watch. I asked him, I said, have you ever been to a man? major league baseball game before without you know riding the bus in through the tunnel and um he said it had been a while you know probably since he was a kid or something i think he said he might

have gone to like a detroit tigers world series game early on but he he hasn't he'd never been to a dodger game other than you know as in as a member of the team so it was really really neat and he out in the in the sweet area and looked at the field and it's just that vibe and he just went oh i see why people do this but it was really it was really magical to see him you know experience honestly the house he helped build right yeah yeah absolutely i mean it's got to be kind of surreal for you being such a massive fan but also having such a tight relationship with with clayton obviously you guys have been involved in each other's charities in different ways uh i was at uh this this ping pong event there in in 2019 great one that was put on the suit he mean he brought it out he brought

he he brought out the best he could to also play a little bit of ping pong for uh you know ping pong for a purpose brian cranson was there but yeah what's that kind of like having such a close relationship with somebody you also, to a degree, you know, you're watching them. You're kind of idolize these players on the field. And, you know, they make you happy. They make you mad. They make you sad. What's that like?

It's the most, it's such a pleasant surprise to see that he's a better person than he is a pitcher or was. You know, I mean, we're talking like best pitcher of our generation and yet he's an even better person. You know, I didn't know. know he'd be this cool when I became friends with. And you know, Kim and I have said all along, we model how we sort of utilize success to make the world a better place based on Clayton and Ellen. There's nobody that does more, I think, with what they've been given than those two.

It's a pretty inspiring thing to watch in spite of juggling, you know, um, And half a baseball team of children, you know, honestly. And then also finding time to, like, raise money for these causes that they're always championing. I think also there was an article I saw recently that kind of summed it up that the heart of the Dodgers and the giving nature of it and the way the team, the leadership hierarchy and the class, that I think the team at its best personifies comes from Clayton, which was sort of the top down. I mean, he, as far as the players go, like he set the tone in terms of he always had the ping pong event.

He always made sure that players knew they needed to do charity things. It's no, I think it's no coincidence that somebody like Chris Taylor has his polar bear type challenge that he does. And Will Smith's now doing comedy. Um, Mookie's got his stuff, although Mookiee probably would have done it anyway, but it's like, but it's wild to see. I think the effect he had on the team in every way. Um, you know, you can, you can contribute, um, his contribution to, to the, to the success they've had in a giving sense. You know, uh, the giving keeps happening when you're talking about 22. Another event you were involved with was Casey live. And, uh, there was a couple years ago where, uh,

Clayton graced us all. Maybe it's not as good as Katie Wu's national anthem, but he graced us with his voice on stage with you. I'm going to play the clip, and maybe it's been a little while since you've seen it. But I need you to grade him here, guys. Here's the future Hall of Famer Clayton, Edward Kershaw, singing with legendary country music musician, Brad Paisley. See a guy wearing pearl.

You think to ride in a wild bull sound crazy. I like to give it a work. No notes. No notes. No, that's beautiful. No, he hit no notes. Boom. Roasted.

That's pretty good. Now, yeah, we're not in any danger of him. He's a Hall of Famer, but not in the country. What's that show where you push the button, the chair turns around? You're not pushing the button and calling him on. The voice. Yeah, the voice. There you go.

Sorry, Clayton Kirchoff, not winning the voice. He heard of here first. He is such a, he's such a good, good sport, though. A lot of, a lot of players are sort of a little too cool for school, and they would never get up and goof around like that. So, yeah, it's, it's a fun, it's a really, it's really neat friendship. And it's interesting now, you know, it's his playful nature with, you know, he's, Andrew Friedman has him as a special assistant now.

And he got a badge that is his, like, employee badge. You know, Alana, you had one. And he wore it around the stadium the whole day, like on his belt. Like anyone's going to ever stop him from walking in there. But I have a feeling every time he goes there, he'll show his badge. He's ever had a range of up. I'm supposed to be here. I promise.

It's corporate now. Yeah, exactly. Meanwhile, he'd be walking past a statue of himself with his badge on it. That will be the next statue. Yep. He's a rule follower. Exactly. There's nothing wrong with that.

No, no, Bradd, let's take it back a little bit to the 20, 23 winter meetings. They were in Nashville. And I believe you actually hosted the MLV draft lottery also. And then you were kind of host the Dodgers at your house. We saw some Dave Roberts action, friend of the show, Dave Basset. Look at that guy. Look at that smile. Oh, good Lord.

What an awesome guy. that David Vasay made the cut today. He made the cut. He made the cut. But I'm curious to know, because some Dodger lore might have gone down that night, what was your take and your experience watching this Tyler Glassnow trade come to fruition? It was one of the most fun things I've ever done. I really, as far as like, first of all, hosting Dave and Andrew and when I say Dave, I mean

Dave Roberts, not David Basset. No, but hosting hosting all these guys, they are amazing. And they just had the day they walked in this house, I was waiting with really expensive whiskey for them because Dave had had stuck his foot in his mouth that day. Well, not really, but he made the mistake of being honest with the media and said,

and basically was like, Yes, we've talked with Shohei. And so everybody thought he blew the deal if they were going to have one because they were supposed to not talk about it or something. And so next thing you know, it was DefCon 5 and everybody was having emergency meetings. And when they came down, they had just been sitting and talking about like, okay, did we hurt anything? Did you mess up?

And it's great because I got to let them unwind. And they got to kind of like when Doc walked in, I handed him. a glass of Pappy Van Winkle and was like, I think you need this. And he said, I need more than one of these pieces. And the next thing you know, Andrew came up and said, are you a Tyler Glassnow fan? I've been trying to get that deal done. He said, here, say hi. And he put Eric Neander on the phone. He said, say hi to Eric Neander. And I said, hey, Eric, you're with the wrong team or you can be here. And then he said, oh, man, I wish I could. And then he got on there with Andrew. And he said, that sounds like Brad Paisley, that's a good impression.

And Andrew said, no, we're really at his house having, he's got a bar and we're all hanging out. And I said, and then he came to me. He said, were you serious about him coming down here? Because I was like, y'all should come down. And I said, will it help? And he said, I think it might. And I said, yeah, send him down. Next thing you know, eight Tampa Bay Rays front office people walk in.

So we've already got about 30 Dodgers. There's eight Rays. They stayed till four in the morning and called an Uber. One of the front office people with one of the teams face planted in the front yard on the way to the Uber. Not kidding. Had grass stains on their face when they got back to the hotel at five in the morning. And yeah, and this is all true. And I watched as him and Andrew sort of like when Eric walked in, it was about 11.

o'clock when Eric came in and here's the GM of the race and he sits down at the bar and he's like, what do you got? And I said, well, this whole top shelf's the most expensive stuff. And you don't get that till Tyler Glassnell's a Dodger. And he's like, he's like, all right, well, fine, I'll just deal with you. What do you think of so and so? And I'm like, that'd be a great ray. And then, and that's really how it was going. And then the next thing, you know, he disappears into the next room with Andrew and they sort of talked for a while and came back and when they left I asked Andrew so what do you think he said I think it's probably that's looking good I'll let you know and then a couple days later he wrote me you get the assist which was really fun I mean but I it is what you

what you hope like when when I think of baseball movies or any of these things I think of guys at a bar you know piano music in the background and like write some stuff down on a napkin and they're like, what do you think? And they're like, yeah, we'll do that. And that's kind of how it happened. I wonder, do you get an employee badge out of that? I mean, that's, that's an assistant. You would think, but nope, I need to be there with Clayton or they're going to not let me in. Andrew, come on, man. I'm Luke Wilson. Join me each week for Film Never Lies.

Look no further than no grip. A new podcast tackling the culture of motor racing's most coveted series. Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the under-explored pockets of F-1,

including the astrology of the current grid. Lewis Hamilton, Crapicorn Sun, Cancer Moon. Wouldn't you know it? Michael Schumacher is also a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. The story of the sports most consequential driver strike. We have one man who... kind of hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 career, a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both?

He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better, and plenty of other mishap scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We have some questions from our boys on the Fowell Territory Show, Brad. So this is coming from Todd Frazier, obviously a longtime Big Leagueer. He wants to know from you, what is your scouting report on yourself as a player when you were younger? For fans that don't know, you're from Virginia. You played a little ball yourself.

I think the musician. side of you worked out just fine. What's your scouting report on young Brad Paisley? Subpar speed. Subpar bat speed. Not good at strike zone coverage. Weak arm. Probably not suitable for single A. Should sing the national anthem.

There you go. Very good. That's a good lead in to Brani's question. Scott Braun, he wants to know when you sing the national anthem, like do you look at the prop bets about yourself? Maybe put a couple of bucks on. What's that one? Calci.

Yeah. That would be really interesting. You would imagine. So I sang it at this. that was game two this year at the at the Clayton that the ring ceremony Clayton first pitch thing and I was joking around about that about like wonder if there is any gambling if anybody's doing like a oh he's singing yeah I got you know I'm putting money on 14 innings or whatever I don't know but you would I mean that would be fascinating wouldn't it

I don't think it's probably a good idea if I start, like the way, I don't want anywhere near gambling in baseball, even as a singer of the anthem. And I feel like, you know, there's probably like, they'll have to put a thing up in the above the locker room that's like, you know, if you sing the anthem at any of the diamond sports, you should not be betting on the game. But I think, no, I think it's interesting because they, They do gamble on everything now. And you know, if I, if they go back to the World Series and they asked me to sing at that, that would, that would be a thing, wouldn't it? That would be something worth. Yeah. But it would probably be a better bet that it doesn't go extras this time.

And at some point it has to not, the coin's got to flip tails at some point. I don't know. I'm putting this back up. I mean, the numbers tell us, Brad. They tell us. Yeah. I was at that last one too. So I'm a little mad about it because, you know, 18 innings.

It's a long time. It's a long time. But what a, I mean, could you ever get more of your money's worth than that? No. Other than being set. That's essentially two games. We really had an eight game world series if you think about it. It was an eight.

Yeah, exactly. Listen, I covered a, I covered a 22 inning game one time between the Colorado Rockies and the Houston or the Houston Astros, I think it was. We had three seventh inning stretches. Three. three of those. Wow. Brad,

I know, I know. Eric Crats wants to know, Brad, if you've ever actually checked anybody for ticks. Yeah,

my children, that's not nearly what the song's about. You know, and live on a farm. It's like, come here. And,

you know, they're terrible about that. And we, we've got, we had years where it was like, you couldn't walk

through the yard. without coming back with something. I ended up with Rocky Mountain spotted fever one year. Oh, no. That's not good. Yeah. Yep. I mean, that's at least one that they can treat it pretty easily,

but, you know, if you catch it. But it's no fun. And so, but, you know, it's one, Kim will tell you right now there's nothing. The song's a bunch of crap. There's nothing sexy about actually having to do that. My husband was just in the, not ER, the urgent care the other day because we live, we butt up against Woods and he had a tick. He had a tick and we had to go.

Yeah, not great, not great. Was there anything in that tick that shouldn't be there? Like, I don't know. Is he okay? No, no, he's okay. I got half of it out because I saw it going like this. So I got half of it out and I couldn't get the other half. And we had to go and he's fine.

He went to the hospital to let them take the other half of a tick off of him? Bradley, he wanted me to dig into his skin and get the other half and I physically could not hurt him. So I said, let's go to urgent care, make sure, but he was fine. He automatically got on the doxycycline. He is good. The bullseye is the same. He's fine. He's fine.

But I'm not, I can't like, yeah, well, it was, we drew around it so it wouldn't expand. I just wanted, he wanted me to like physically dig into his skin. I said, absolutely not. What do I look like a farmer? Yeah, you got to be a little more country, Riz. You just he's got to make you mad and then you'll do it. Hmm. Yeah.

No. There's times when Kim would be like, yeah, I'll cut it out. No, thanks. Yeah, never, never been more thankful to live in California than I am right now. I don't think I would be able to the ticks, anything, anything outdoor, probably not for me. Now, Brett, I am one, obviously Dodger's super fan, come out to a few games a year. How many games are you actually watching? you actually watching are you a like live and die with each pitch each any kind of guy how

would you describe your dodger day-to-day fandom yeah it's a little it's a little bit um yeah my wife would say it's it's not healthy because i don't miss much like i can i can turn you know a game that doesn't matter but it's on like it's on in the studio or in the house if it if there's a game on and I'm not in the middle of some obligation. I mean, when I come off, if I'm touring and come off stage, it's my bus driver knows, like, find the channel. If it's on Sportsnet, have that on. If not, if it's one of the ESPN games or something,

put that on, and I'll come off. And I always know when they don't, when they won't look me in the eye, when I come off stage, that we're losing or something. But it's that, it's, you know, listen to the podcasts and check in on Dodger talk although don't tell David don't tell them that I'm listening we won't let Basset know now are you last last one for me and this is important answer carefully are you a reader of Dodger articles do you go are you like reading stories are you an athletic

yes subscriber to the athletic yes excellent Just want to make sure that we're all on the same page there. But what do you see when you're reading through these stories? Like what's your paper kind of Dodger story? It's interesting. I like the ones where they can surprise me with something that I didn't know even being friends with a lot of the people involved. You know, like I love it when somebody's dug something up about like how this happened. And that's the great thing about baseball is there are there's all these human stories.

stories around it and all these little subtle changes that even more so than football like in football you'd never hear you'd never hear them talk about well the lineman decided when he lines up to move his foot three inches you know what I mean he's he's he's not doing the leg kick when they snap the ball I what I'm saying like there's no the subtlety of baseball is really unique that game of inches that it is and And so I love hearing about like what unlocked, you know, Max Muncie's swing or what, you know, what they, you know, how Tay Oscar is mentoring, you know, Pahas or something. Like these and the little stories and all the things Miguel Rojas does. Like I feel like he is one of the MVP's, don't you? Absolutely. Everything that he means to that team. So if baseball expands and they happen to get a team, would you be interested in being in an ownership group to bring it to Nashville? And can I be your reporter?

Absolutely. Yes and yes. And I don't know where we're going to get the money, but let's do this. That's the only thing missing right now is the billions we need probably. But it's kind of a crowd fund. You think? So you would be the reporter for the Nashville team. If you owned the team, yes. Okay.

Well, I got to get to work. Or really good bets on the next anthem. There you go, on the prop bet. That's really good. He funded the team betting on himself. There you go. The American dream realized, no, not at all. Before we let you go, I want to talk about the unbelievable work that you guys are doing in the Nashville community.

You and your beautiful wife, Kimberly Williams, Paisley, give us a little bit more information about the store. I believe you have more than one location now. Why you guys thought that was so important you had mentioned you kind of, you know, want to be like Ellen and Clayton, Kershaw, with your community effort. So tell us more about the store and what it means for you guys. So the store is a grocery store. It's based on this charity we discovered in Santa Barbara that is called Unity Shop out there. They have various things they do. But in our case, what we are is we are a grocery store where if somebody winds up falling on hard times down in their luck, can't afford to feed their family because it's an interesting thing these days, how.

How many things can go wrong in a cascade to where somebody really can't afford to feed the family? One of the things that really stings about that is the loss of dignity when it wasn't anybody's fault. And so in this case, what we exist as is a grocery store where everything's free to people that qualify. They come in and they shop. It's decked out like it looks like a little mini whole foods. You see kids in the shopping cart. Parents are picking out the food that they want to feed them. You know, they come twice a month.

They get to decide what to feed their family. Like it's not a handout. This is literally something where they are getting to say, I want this. And there's dignity and choice. I think. And then the kids also, there's a little play area. The kids are in the shopping cart. There's all of the little amenities that you would associate with a typical grocery store day. Difference being when they go check out, they just scan a card that has nothing to do with payment. And the kids in the cart don't know. Like they would have no idea, I think, that their parents are needing free groceries. And so

the the goal is with each of these clients that we have is that they get back on their feet and can afford. And we've seen it already. We've been in existence now for six years. We've seen people fall in hard times, use the service, graduate out of it, find a job, do better. And then they start showing up as volunteers for other people. It's pretty rewarding, you know. And I was saying on the website, you got an event. coming up says April 19th.

You guys are hosting a comedy night. No Will Smith there? Or what's what can people learn? Yeah, I need to invite Will Smith. Don't I think he's busy. There's probably a game, but, but I'm a little offended. I've been invited to perform, do anything at the Will Smith one. I need to do that.

If he's watching, well, tell him. Riz, get him on the phone to do it. Yeah, we'll tell him. I know I can be as funny as he is. Best, a catching strays. Clayton Kirshov at catching strays and now William Dill Smith catching strays. Not going to be a good scene for me in the clubhouse on Friday. This is fantastic. Tell Muky to practice by the way. He has, he has been. John Suu

said that he's been practicing on your offender. So we will get an update on actually how he's doing. John wanted me to tell you that personally that Mokey has been, he must be taking it on the road and wrap a photo of that. I'd love to see that the candid photo from the clubhouse and him sitting there. I will. I'll frame that in the studio. Oh, I'll get that for you. No problem at all. Um, do you got anything in the works and anything coming up besides obviously the April 19th date, but anything musically that you're doing? We do. That's, that's a really good. I forget sometimes that that's what I do. Um, that's a nine to five. Yeah. Well, there's these times of the year where it gets really slow like, like the last few months.

Like the first part of the year, it's sort of like you're not doing a whole lot, at least It has been that way the last few years. We have a cool project coming out that I can't even really explain it right now, but it's going to be coming out soon. And it's a unique way of, it's unique stuff. And I think it'll be right up your alley, Alana. It's very classic. And we came up with this idea.

One of the people that works in ANR at my label came up with the idea. And it's a really unique way of releasing music. music and letting people in on like the process as well as a glimpse into like the past a little bit. It's going to be fun. You'll see it come out and you'll have questions, I think, as do I at this point. But it's like it's going to be fun to release a lot. It's going to be a lot of music like this year, I think. If it all goes well, I say that now and fast forward to, you know, we're talking near the world series.

They're like, whatever happened to that? Yeah, we will follow up with you in terms of that. Looking forward to it, we want to get I.B. Stroking on here, not me, just this chat. Want super chat, $5.

I wanted to show you a couple of pups, guys, that Brad and Kimberly have personally helped. So on the left, his name was Buck, and is now Duke. And on the right is Paisley. Now, Duke was a, is a pup that Brad and Kim actually were almost going to adopt. They did an adoption trial, but unfortunately they had a pup that was a senior pup and, you know, needed a little bit more of a calmer presence in their home.

but because Brad and Kim posted Buck Now Duke on their Instagram pages, one of Brad's fans reached out. And his name is Lucas with his wife. And they now have him. And so he was adopted. And Paisley on the right, same situation. Brad was kind enough to post Paisley, who I named after Brad Avey. And because of that, Paisley is now adopted. So I appreciate them very much.

So we have her in the vet office getting her all checked. If you'd like to help us out with daffodil's vet costs, we certainly appreciate it.

and Kimberly's cause, please do that as well. The store.org. Guys, we would be remiss before we said goodbye today on Dodgers territory. If we didn't give our love to a couple of folks within the Dodgers family, wanted to say, our prayers and thoughts, of course, are with Davy Lopes's family and his closest circle.

Davy Lopes passing away yesterday, I believe, at the age of 80, he was dealing with a long-time illness. and unfortunately succumb to that illness, but this is a baseball man through and through. I learned so much from him, Clint and Katie, when he was the Dodgers first base coach. And just his ability to read pitchers and know the timing of pitchers.

So he knew when to send guys. Obviously, he was instrumental in the most unbelievable infield that we will ever see, the longest running infield in the 70s with the Los Angeles Dodgers. And it's always hard to lose, legend like Davy Lopes. Clint, what do you remember about him in his time there?

Yeah, I mean, I had a couple opportunities to meet him in passing, just a nice guy. I mean, a wealth of baseball knowledge and what he was able to kind of lend to the team, particularly, you know, you see Matt Kemp with an outpouring of love for somebody like Davy Lopes, you know, other players from that era with, you know, when he was there as a coach, part of, I think, Joe Tori staff, if I'm not mistaken. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a lot of Dodger baseball. But Davey Lopes, just a phenomenal dude. Good good dude, like a baseball lifer. He coached with the Padres. He was a manager at points in his career. And meant so much to this organization. You mentioned Alana, part of that record-setting infield.

And, you know, the first one to fall. And it's tough. It's a tough day for the Dodger family. And I hope, you know, throw that number 15 on the shoulder. Why not? Yeah. And they, speaking of putting stuff on their uniform, Katie, obviously the Dodgers putting Miggie Roe's number on their, or, you know, MR on their hats for his father, who unexpectedly passed away with a sudden heart attack.

So, you know, I would imagine the pulse of the club is certainly thinking about McGee Roe. Absolutely. And so is all of Dodgers Nation. It's just incredibly sad. And I think what speaks to me about baseball is this community, this team rallying around McGee Rowe, you know, he's unable to fly back to Venezuela. He's in Toronto when this unfortunately happens.

And instead, he says, you know, my dad would want me to play. So he's in the starting lineup. And I can't imagine the amount of strength that that takes. And also what an incredible way to honor your father was watching Mickey Rowe's Instagram story yesterday and to just see the love and the photos and the history. shared. I think the Dodgers did an incredible job of supporting one of their heartbeats in the clubhouse who is going through a tough time. And I know I've seen Dodger Stadium. They'll be giving McGee Row lots of love on Friday should he be there. Yeah, no doubt. Well, go ahead.

I'll say absolutely, you know, it really sucks that he couldn't get out there in time. But, I mean, here and even the way Brad talked about Miggy Row, the importance that he has in that clubhouse, not just in what he does on the field, but being a leader. We've taught, I forgot who it was. We talked to, Alana, but talking about how, how McGee Roe is kind of the, the great unifier from, you know, Spanish-speaking side of the clubhouse to the English speaking and even throwing in the Japanese-speaking side of the clubhouse. Like, he is that, that central, he starts the party.

100% starts the party. So much love. Yeah. And it's very, it's customary not only in Mexico, but also in Venezuela where McGee row is from that unfortunately, not unfortunately, but they bury their dead the day after. So he couldn't get back. And I'm sure he'll have a moment when he can go out there and grieve the way that he wants to and needs to. But there's something to be said about being around your brothers. And that is their family right now, obviously, in the Los Angeles daughters. I want to shout out
