You have two the most iconic brands in all the sports. Good afternoon, everybody. We are feeling fine. And Clint Piscius, Alonarizzo with you, your hosts on this brand new edition of Dodgers territory.

We have a lot to talk about, obviously, being that the Dodgers have clinched the National League. Clint's they are headed to the World Series for the first time since 2020. Thank you guys for being here. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Please make sure that you rate us five stars. Go like us, subscribe on YouTube and wherever you get your podcast. Clint, lots to go.

Let's get to the big ticket. Let's do it. All right. Is this the World Series matchup that the World Series matchup that the World has been clamoring for. Is this the matchup that everybody wanted to see? What could we have asked for in terms of a better world series to Goliaths going head to head? Yeah, it definitely wasn't going to be Dodgers guardians with all due respect to the Cleveland organization. People wanted Dodgers, Yankees, a series 43 years in the making. And you feel really good about your Dodgers heading into

this. You should also feel good as a Yankees fan heading into this one. Good for baseball. Good for baseball. all congrats to Fox and all that money they're about to make. But 2013, the last time, the last time both number one seeds made it to a World Series. So the world is healing. We don't have, again, all due respect. We don't have Rangers and Diamondbacks from a year ago. This is what baseball needed. Well, I can tell you that we're excited because Dodgers territory is a lot more fun when we're talking about our own team of being in the postseason.

And don't forget to watch a pinstripe territory as well. Our friend Derek Lewandowski does a tremendous job with them. We'll probably have a crossover show coming up sometime this week. Maybe on Thursday we'll keep you posted. But stay right here with Clint and I because we're going to have every single, you know, our normal shows during the week and, of course, post games for you as well. Dave Roberts, Clint, masterclass of managerial duties this year. I think probably better than any other year of his tenure.

One of six managers in history to win four or more league titles. since postseason expanded beyond the World Series in 1969. I was a little concerned in the DS. I made the mistake. And I tell you what, he's managed his butt off in this postseason so far in 2024. Yeah, we talked about it last night. What we've seen out of Dave in this postseason, the fact that he's able to tune out the noise,

keep this team on course, along with some very good field generals he has. has in that clubhouse as well. It's, I keep going with Masterclass because he's playing every card. He understands all of the BS that he will get if the Dodgers get bouncing that first round. And honestly, deservedly so, even if it's, you know, he's not the guy out there. He's not the reason they're missing all of these starting pitchers and all of that. He's not even the reason the Dodgers went out and got themselves to Tommy Edmund.

But still, somebody has to answer. somebody has to be the guy that takes accountability. It's not going to be Andrew Friedman. It's not going to be Brandon Gomes. And usually Dave, like he told us when he joined us a couple months ago, he hears the noise. He tunes it out, doesn't have social media going. And he's finally learned how to really, not learn, but the way he played everybody in this postseason so far, the Machado situation, us to a degree, it's impressive.

It is very, very impressive, taking the heat off of the. boys so they can go out there and play some meaningful baseball games. Well, he doesn't have social media, but I can tell you that his kids do because when I was questioning what was going on early on in the DS, they both slid into my DMs, even though they don't have to because they have my phone number. And they were like, wait a minute, wait a minute. You've known him for a long time. You know better than to question what's happening.

And they're right. They're absolutely right. And I said, listen, I know you guys are texting with your heart, but I've always had your dad's back. So good for him. All right. Let's talk about the overall sentiment, Clint, going into this World Series. This is an unbelievably tight-knit group.

We've heard from Mookie Betts about it. Obviously, Brett Honeywell and Max Muncie had some really good postseason sound with or post-game sound with David Vasay. I mean, some emotional stuff. What's your overall takeaway from the sentiment and the tight-knit group? We talked a little bit about it last night. Of course, we hadn't watched any of the post-game stuff, any of the, you know, drunken celebration because we were live enjoying, you know, some wine and some Modello ourselves,

because we deserve to celebrate with the boys at least a little bit. Through all the adversity, all the injuries, all the times where maybe lesser men, lesser teams would kind of call it a season, they use that fuel. They've used that to spark them to get better, to play more for themselves. I said last night, you know, the fact that Freddie Freeman, is injured and the Dodgers aren't skipping a beat with Freddie Freeman out of the lineup. It's it's so dang good. Max Muncie just sliding over there being selfless as a teammate, playing third,

playing first, being an on-base machine and being a very, very big vocal leader for this team as well. So you mentioned that interview with Dave Vasay, friend of the show and Brent Honeywell. So many great things. And I recommend anybody go online, just find it. It's a five-minute interview where one of the things I really, really liked about it is, is, you know, the last couple of years, Alana, we've heard about the five-day layoff. And we've witnessed the five-day layoff.

The team come out pretty flat. This time, I very much appreciate the message. Listen, I've never been a big leaguer. But having, like, the boys say, look, you get a chance to be a husband in three, You get a chance to be a father in three weeks. You could be a boyfriend in three weeks. Right now, give this team your time. The next three weeks, it's us, and that's it. Let's focus here. Let's grind it out. Eight hours a day, spend time with each other. And you're seeing that play out on the field. Like, these guys are, they're hungry. They want it, but it's not just, it's not for them.

It's not for the name on the back. It's for all of the names on the front of the jersey. It's, it's special. It's special. And I love the fact that, you know, Max tells Honeywell after game five, you just won us game six. I mean, that's got to make a guy feel unbelievably special. When a veteran player like Max Muncie comes over to a guy that wasn't even on the opening day, you know, picture and says the way that you were able to perform in game five just gave us the ability to win game six. That's got to make you feel really good.

And again, it was all over the place as far as contributions from up and down the lineup. It was all over the place for them to just be a complete team that they needed to be. be and it was really special to see much more to come we're actually going to have stephen nelson join us here momentarily he obviously covers the team on a daily basis not only for sports at la but also on a mm 570 on the radio with rick monday so back in a second after a quick word from a j prasynck rats and scott brawn on mint mobile i love a great deal but i'm not going to run sprints in the outfield just to save a few It has to be easy.

Usually on this podcast will kill you, we talk about the diseases,

infections, and biological threats that can make us really sick. But right now, we're doing something a little different. We're stepping back and looking at what the human body needs to keep going. When you consider what we know about sleep in humans, there's one rule that comes out. We are predictably unpredictable sleepers. We're talking about why, works the way it does, why our bodies don't follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by. The second half of our series takes us to the digestive system with a multi-part series on what happens after we eat.

Okay, I just have to say that all of my favorite words apparently are digestive words. Sphinctor, peristolsus, duodenum. It's fascinating. It's funny, and it matters so much more than you think. Episodes of our new series run from January 20th through February 17th, with new episodes every Tuesday on the Exactly Right Network. Listen to this podcast will kill you as part of the Exactly Right Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

All right, we welcome me to Behind the Seams. And I tell you what, this is the first time ever, Clint, that 250 home run hitters from the regular season are going to play against each other in the fall classic. Obviously, we are talking about super slugger Aaron Judge and super slugger Shohei Otani, which, by the way, has not ever had a taste of the postseason. until this year. Everybody and their mother wanted to see Shohei in the postseason and we got what we wanted. This is going to be one heck of a matchup. I mean, just as a pure baseball fan, forget if you're a fan of the Yankees or the Dodgers or another club. You've got to love to see how this is going to how it's going to play out.

Yeah, this is every bit of a star power world series that we're going to be witnessing from, you know, the guys in the batters box. You got Judge, like you said, you do have Stanton making a World Series here. But Shohei Otani, Muki Betz back in the World Series, Garrett Cole in there, Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets, you know, in his first year as a big leaguer, gets to the biggest stage. Very much looking forward to this World Series. Pretty evenly matched teams, question mark. Yeah, I think so. I think they are evenly matched. And we're going to ask Stephen Nelson what he thinks about how well the dog.

Dodgers match up with the big bad New York Yankees. Of course, kind enough to join us now here on Dodgers territory. I believe it's still the highest rated Dodgers territory we've had so far. If it's not the highest rated, Stephen Nelson is certainly up there in the top five. So he, of course, is on Sportsnet, L.A. He is also on AM 570 with Rick Monday on the radio call on the game. So we're going to get him up here shortly. But I tell you what, I think they are very evenly met.

Oh, my goodness. Look at this. Yeah. Look at this. Yeah, guys. Yeah, how we doing? Hold on. Top five, what? I hopped on.

I got the very tail end of that. Top five shows ever. Like in terms of rating when you were on. If you're not the highest rated show, you're in the top five for sure. Oh, okay. Yeah, okay. I'll take that. I'll take that.

I didn't know if it was like top five job job robes I've ever worked with. No, no. Well, I mean, that was before you popped on. But no, no, no. Top five highest rated shows that you that we've had here. I think this is our 68th episode and you are certainly in the top five, if not number one. All right. Stephen Nelson, you cover this team on a daily basis on both the radio and on the television side.

How evenly matched up do you think this World Series is? Oh, that's a great question. Honestly, like this is because of just the way I've grown up as a sports fan. I tend to have a pessimistic lens of my sports life. Jokes aside, my first thought was, the aspect of this matchup that I don't love, the aspect of this matchup that I don't love is the home run. The Dodgers, you know, the last three months of the year, I gave up, I think, the third most home runs in all of baseball. And the Yankees, the last time I checked, though I don't cover them on a day-to-day basis, they have a few decent home-run hitters on their team. So that was kind of the most glaring thing that jumped out from a pessimistic standpoint.

But looking on the whole, I love the Dodger Penn. Hopefully they can get a couple of those dogs back, namely Alex Vescia, Bruce Dargrad. I know Bazook has been busting his tail to get back in this thing. You know, those would be two huge lifts. I don't know how that impacts the rest of the roster. Obviously, they have four days to get guys right. you know, would much prefer Freddie Freeman's ankle be at 100%. It won't be close to that by the time Friday rolls around.

But yeah, I think there's just a ton of balance, right? I think there's just a beautiful and poetic balance to this dream matchup for Major League Baseball, right? It's L.A. in New York. It's the Dodgers and Yankees. You have two of the most iconic brands in all the sports. The interlocking L.A. and the interlocking N.I. you have Otani and Judge, you have Betts and Soto, you have, you know, Freeman and Stanton and so on and so forth. Cole and Yamamoto, I guess, you know, Jack Flaherty, who was traded to the Yankees for all intention purposes at the line, now pitching for his hometown club.

So, I mean, you're just, again, you know, how spoiled are we with this World Series, just everything that we can go through and dissect. So I think, you know, after being over the initial, like, eh, I don't want to see that many. I don't like the home run ball. You know, then you look at it and you're like, okay, this is really, you couldn't ask for a better World Series matchup. Hey, couldn't ask for much better of a punch to the World Series there. You on the radio last night, the Dodgers win the pennant. What's it like, Colin, a moment like that for this Dodgers club where you get to rock that L.A., what do we call that? bucket that's not a bucket but you look this is the it's the the father's day beach hat uh yes uh one of

one of the uh one of the outstanding giveaways this year um uh so it was uh again because you know i i'm relatively new to this play by thing play by play thing right and the experience that i do have is on the television side you know i hadn't done radio since college. And due respect to my beloved Chapman Panthers, Chapman baseball and Dodger baseball are two very different things, very different things. So, you know, I've a huge debt that I owe to both Rick Monday

and Dwayne McDonald and David Vasay and Colin Yee, who've taken care of me on that side and, you know, trying to bring me along and, you know, shorten the learning curve as, as much as we could throughout this season. But as it pertains to last night in particular, like I just never really envisioned being in that scenario because in TV, the torch gets passed to the national guys

once the season comes to an end. And so you never really have to worry about that or think about it. So I sure as hell did not think about it. And then honestly, once Blake got the second out, I was like, I probably should have thought about this a little bit more. I should have wrote some things down.

I did not. And, you know, as it played out, like, you know, Alvarez hits the ground ball to CT, you know, it was just sort of just this, you know, natural and human reaction to, you know, them climbing the National League mountain, so to speak. And then when we went to the first break, I was like, Damn, I probably should have had something in the back pocket there. But I, you know, who knows? That's just me.

I'm like a classic overthinker about literally everything in life, as Alana definitely knows more. But, you know, hopefully, hopefully Dodder fans don't hate it too much. But it was definitely a surreal thing to be a part of that night. Yeah, a moment in time and did a great job on the airwaves, of course, Stephen. Let me ask you, if you are Dave Roberts, if you're Andrew Friedman, if you're putting together this rotation, everyone's going to be well-rested. So you can go any way you want.

You know, Garrett Cole is throwing for the Yankees in game one. Who were you throwing for the Dodgers? I think it's got to be Yoshimoto. I just, I think, you know, it sets him up to, you know, guarantee him a couple of turns. You know, if that happens, though, if he pitches game one, then you don't have him in New York. And obviously we all remember what happens in the summer when he was there in New York.

But that doesn't, that does not matter. I know Walker is raring to go and given his experience in the big game, like do you put him in a spot where he's guaranteed two turns? I know they liked him on the road against the Mets, and that worked out. And so, you know, Jack's best turn was at home this last series, by far, obviously. So I think if it were me, If it were me, again, my guess would be Yamamoto Flaherty Bueller. But I don't know.

The way that the bullpen games have been utilized this postseason, they're going to have to take that into account. And as Doc was pretty consistent in detailing throughout the NLCS, it's game to game. So if the game one dominoes fall right and, you know, they get a lengthy start out of Yama, out of Jack, out of whomever, then they might want to roll a bullpen game in game two. I don't know.

But like if you're just looking at it from the starting pitching standpoint, if I were to remove the bullpen game element from the equation, I just think that, you know, let's get Yama game one and go from there. Yeah, it feels like finally for once some good problems for the Dodgers to have. Everybody should be available with this World Series starting on Friday. Usually, on this podcast will kill you, we talk about the diseases, infections, and biological threats that can make us really sick. But right now, we're doing something a little different. We're stepping back and looking at what the human body needs to keep going.

When you consider what we know about sleep in humans, there's one rule that comes out. We are predictably unpredictable sleepers. We're talking about why sleep works the way it does, why our bodies don't follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by. The second half of our series takes us to the digestive system. with a multi-part series on what happens after we eat. Okay, I just have to say that all of my favorite words apparently are digestive words. Sphincter, Paris Daldus, Duodum. It's fascinating. It's funny, and it matters so much more than you think.

Episodes of our new series run from January 20th through February 17th, with new episodes every Tuesday on the Exactly Right Network. Listen to this podcast will kill you as part of the Exactly Right Network on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Remember when you'd walk into your local video rental place and there were always those two employees behind the counter arguing about movies? Well, that's us. I'm Millie to Cherico. And I'm Casey O'Brien. And now we're arguing about movies on our podcast, Dear Movies I Love You, from the Exactly Right Network. Can I say something about the Criterion Clause? Go ahead, dude.

They're letting too many people in there. Okay, that's another film grape I got two. Sadly, that rental place doesn't exist anymore. It's probably a store that sells running shoes. Or an ice cream shop with an extra pee and an E at the end. So consider us your slacker movie clerks in podcast form. I would like to establish a timeline of the moment you figured out who Channing Tatum was. Every Tuesday, we dig into the movies we can't stop obsessing over, from hidden gems to big screen favorites. New episodes drop every week on the exactly right network.

Listen to Dear Movies I Love You on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hi, I'm Danielle Robe, host of Bookmarked, the podcast by Reese's Book Club. And this week, we are talking about a monster. Or maybe the woman who refused to be one. I'm sitting down with Maggie Gyllenhaal to unpack her new film, The Bride. And trust me, this isn't your grandmother's bride of Frankenstein. It's darker, smarter, sexier, a full reimagining of what happens when the monster gets a voice of her own. What I was more interested in was the monstrousness inside of each of us. You can spend your life running from those things, or you can turn around and shake hands with them. If I'm honest about that, and I tell my story about monsters really dealing in something truthful, and I do it in a way that's pop, that's hot, that's like getting on a roller coaster, will

people respond. Listen to Bookmarked, the Reese's Book Club podcast on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We saw a lot of exuberance. We saw a lot of excitement, well-earned and well-deserved excitement

in that clubhouse last night. We were talking before you came on about particularly Max Muncie's talking to Dave Basset, some stuff that makes you want to run through a brick wall. What have you kind of seen from this team as the season has gone on and, you know, going through different speed bumps, roadblocks,

injuries after injuries, watching these guys come together, new pieces in there, like a Teoska Hernandez show, Hey, Otani, all of these pieces coming together to make, I'm calling it, you know, the best Dodger team I've seen in, I don't know, a very, very long time because 17 was good. I think this team might be better than 17 with all due to Alana, who very much loves a lot of the dudes on those teams. What's it like in that clubhouse just seeing it come together over the course of six plus months? Well, look, I think, you know, best team, most talented team, those are up for debate and argument.

I don't know if it is when it comes to the most resilient. I mean, this group has had so many valid excuses to just sort of take the foot off the gas, exhale, and let Jesus take the wheel, right? You know, it just doesn't, it doesn't seem like it's going for us. So we're going full thumb on the weeds off the cliff and, you know, we'll try again next year. Like it just, but they haven't. And I love how transparent that they have been during this postseason run about that team meeting in Atlanta. Because, I mean, they, you know, I was there for the first, no, second game of that series, a four game set. And, you know, they lost the first two.

obviously. And it just, it looked like that second game was the day they found out Glass was going to be done for the year. And it just, it just looked like that was going to be the final blow for this team. And so the fact that Doc and the players were able to kind of get it all out there and talk about those feelings that talk about that uncertainty and that doubt and a hit to your confidence, like clearly that that vulnerability made them stronger. And I've only been here for two years. So, and you know, you can't really compare this run to last year's run because they never took a step in last year's run getting swept out of the division series. But the difference in Max sort of alluded to it, not sort of definitely alluded to it in that post game interview.

the way that this group has attacked this postseason with a commitment to each other. Compared to last year, last year that first series, it felt like they were kind of, it was just a regular season series, like the travel logistics were the same, the preparation, you know, during the buy, they tried to tweak, but they were just sort of searching. Well, this year, it's like players got their own plane. You know, they're not traveling. They're not traveling with the staff or their families or their kids. Like, they are committed to each other.

And they're locked in as a group. And Alana, again, you can provide better perspective than I can. Just because I only have last year to go on. I don't know how often in the postseason that the players have had their own plane. That's never happened. that they're so so I think that this year this year's group has made it a point to say hey and to steal max's words um we're going to be boys for three week give me three weeks no one's going to think you're a bad dad or a bad husband or a bad partner you're going to be a great

teammate and we're going to get through this together one through 30 even the guys threw on the taxi squad even if it's the the last guy on the staff in honey Like we're all going to lock in these trenches together and, you know, committed to the ultimate goal, which is World Series and now they're four wins away from doing so. So the only thing I can speak to is the resilience and the commitment as a group, which seems to be different than in years past. That is incredible because I remember all the years that I've worked with them, seven straight seasons, we all traveled together and it was an absolute traveling circus.

I mean, you did have guys like bringing, you know, all the kids, the giraffes, the, you know, the baby seats. having baby seats in my row. I was just like, what is happening here? But no, that's good for them. Because you know what? It may seem like a long time, but three weeks in the grand scheme of things is absolutely nothing. I don't know that anybody would have had, Stephen, Tommy Edmund, as their NLCS MVP on their bingo card. And if you said you had it, you're lying. What's your X factor going into the World Series? Because he was the X factor in the CS. Yeah, look, and this is a point Moe made throughout these first two series is that when it comes to the postseason, you hope and expect that your stars will be stars. So Otani,

Betts, Freeman, those are your stars. They're going to do their thing. But to win 11 games in October, it's going to take a lot more than just the stars. And so for Max Muncie to be the on-based threat that he was in the season, in the series against New York, and for Tommy Edmund to deliver consistently, hits in every single game. You know, 11 RBI to matches his hit total. Those are the kinds of performances, those surprise performances that you have to have to win a World Series. And up to this point, they have.

I shared this story on the radio, but it was back in May, a game at Dodgers Stadium. I'm on the field during batting practice, talking with a couple members of the front office. And I said, look, I know July's a long way. The trade deadline is, you know, you know, a mirror, you know, glimmer on the horizon. But let's just say the deadline was next week.

And this is May. Who are you going after? And I kid you not, the very first name out of their mouth was Tommy Edmund. And Tommy at the time was still not close to being 100% healthy. But this is a guy that they have had on their radar for a while now. Because as they put it, he's a lead at second base. He's one gold glove there. He's a lead at short.

And we feel he's a lead at center field. He's a switch hitter. He is someone that does not like to strike out. And in his career has been a stingy hitter when it comes to punching out. He puts the ball in play. He just, he fits this team to a T. And you remember that time, you know, still shortstop was a huge question mark, right? Mookie was still going through his growing pains at the position.

And so the fact that they not only have the. opportunity but got it done to trade for Edmund at the deadline. That was a guy that they were committed to for a long time. And despite there being a ton of questions about his own health, you know, last year he was playing basically with one hand and they had to have wrist surgery. And that took a while to get right. And then once the wrist got right, then he messed up his ankle. And so, you know, Tommy is joke that he feels like he's in midseason form because this basically is the middle of his season. And I guess up to this point now, I'm excited to see what postseason form is like because midseason is pretty damn good for Tommy Edmund. It's so deserving. He is

an angel of a human. Like one of the nicest guys I've come across in my time in Major League Baseball. And so, you know, another guy that you just drop into that Dodger Clubhouse and, you know, without a worry. So he's been massive and now you wonder who's going to be next. You know, Kike had had his, has had his moments this October. Max and Edmund, you know, your fingers crossed that Will Smith can catch lightning here following his home run last night too. So I think he'd be sort of the last big piece that you're looking at. Yeah, Tommy Edmund, I tell you what, I love that he's in midseason form. All he's got left is maybe seven games and four more wins. Stephen Nelson, We can't thank you enough.

Bentley is a wonderful pup. That's about two years old, German Shepherd mix. He is in training, a board and train session. with Heroics K-9. He has been so failed by so many humans, but he's lovable. He's learning all of the good things. He's learning great behavior. He's just being trained and he's wonderful. He's sweet. He's neutered. He's vaccinated. He's awesome. He's a great family dog.
