I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. The perpetrator was sentenced to 99 years until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Good people. What's up? What's up? It's Questlove. So recently I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with an actress and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis, from routines to recovery, true lies, and a certain Jermaine Jackson music video. Jamie's real and raw. And it's something I really admire about her. I am so happy that I'm the head bitch in charge at 67, that I have the perspective that I have at my age.

to really be able to put all of this into context. Listen to the Questlove show on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Ready for a different take on Formula One?

Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's easy for us to spend people's money, but, you know, you've got to perform. I don't want to grow. I don't want Javu Bias. I don't want Jacob to Grom. I don't want. Who else? Who else do I not want? Hello, everybody, and welcome to a live episode of Dodgers Territory, alongside Clint Fasias. I am Alonar Rizzo, don't forget to like us, subscribe. Give us a five-star rating. We would very much appreciate it.

Go ahead and follow us wherever you get your podcast, Apple, Spotify, and of course, check us out and subscribe to our YouTube page, Dodgers territory. Cliff, good to see you. It's our first show since after the All-Star game and the home run derby. Just a quick thought before we get into it. I'm enjoying these days off. That's what I will say. Dodger baseball back on Friday.

So let's ramp it back up. All right. Time now for the big ticket. course, as we get into the show here on Thursday afternoon, lots to talk about since the last time that we were on the air, but I tell you what, I'm a little bit worried, Clint, about Max Muncie, what he said on foul territory. He's not feeling too great. Yeah. Yeah, not the update we were hoping for. Of course, we always appreciate any time there are players, any dignitaries and guests on our great foul territory network or family

here. But Max Muncie did not produce the best of updates on that oblique situation. Said point blank, he doesn't know when he's going to be back. He's still doing some work. He's got some rotational stuff in there. Feeling better day by day. But this again raises that point. We know there's a lot of holes. We know there's a lot of issues on this team. But Alana, do the Dodgers need to go out now and acquire a third basement? Yes, because I think it not only affects who's playing third defensively, it also affects what's happening with the rest of their lineup. I mean, when Max Muncie was on foul territory, the last time he was talking about how what he brings to the table is the ability to work counts, the ability to enforce

the opposition to throw a lot of pitches. It allows guys in front of him that he's protecting and behind him to be able to kind of be in their own game and their own style of play and take their own types of abats that they want to do. And without him in the lineup, the lineup isn't as long. The defense isn't exactly where it needs to be at third base. and I know that he's a little bit older, but I would love to see a Justin Turner reunion. I'm not saying that he could play every single day at third base. I know he was a DH in Toronto,

but the point is Justin Turner still has a lot left in his bat and the absolute veteran leadership that I think the club could use, especially with Mookie Betts on the shelf, Clayton Kershaw still not back every single day, I think is invaluable. And I know that Justin Turner, they just had a baby. He and Courtney did. So bring back the pedigree, the experience,

and that bad strength, we need it. Or if it's not JT, is it Chapman? Is it Issaac Parades of the Rays that comes along with, you know, Randy Rosa Rana? What do you think? What do you think about the third base spot? Do they go for that in addition to a frontline starter? That's where I'm at.

I'm on, if I'm Andrew Friedman, I'm on the phone with my old employers. I'm talking to Tampa Bay right now. I'm putting the pieces together to figure out how to get Isac Perides in Dodger Blue tomorrow, how to get Randy a Rosarena in Dodger Blue tomorrow. Hell, throw in Zach Eflin because he was a guy I really wanted when he was a, I'm going to a whole hog on this one. I'm going to go full homer, get everybody you need. We know these two organizations, already talked a whole bunch in the off season around the Tyler Glassnow deals. I'm sure there were, you know, iterations of it that had Randy a Roserena involved.

Am I going too crazy? Am I asking for too much here? No, I love that. I didn't even, I didn't even think about Zach Eflin when I thought about the whole parade season. I just like saying a Rosahrena. When I thought about that, and Zach Eflin would be fantastic in that Dodgers rotation. And I know that Randy or Rosarena has not had a good year. Statistically, this year, I get that. But there's something about coming to the Dodgers that players just kind of reinvent themselves.

Again, the Dodgers have a very good way of allowing guys to have success by just being who they are. And I think Hollywood would be a great landing spot for Randy or Rosa Rana. But yeah, throw in Zach Eflin and you get Issoc Parades at third. I'm awful. That's probably the smartest trade you've made so far because if you're garbage before with Lindor coming over, I didn't buy, and I'm not buying Terrick Scouble with Hobby Byes. I saw you tweeting that garbage too, that you would take by as if we got Terrick. I mean, Terrick Scouble is going to command a haul. The Tigers would be insane and possibly stupid to trade away their Cy Young Award, you know, front runner ace, of course.

But we're at this point where we get to just wildly speculate, throw crap at a wall and see what sticks. So you have a little bit of fun. Do I want Javier Baez in the Dodger uniform? Absolutely not. Did I want David Price when they acquired Mookie Betts? No, but sometimes there is a cost of doing business. And if Baez and, you know, getting him out of Detroit,

them getting out of at least part of that awful, awful contract, maybe he's another change of scenery guy along with Randy or Rosarana, who I believe, again, Randy making it Randy Wood in left field, I think he would have a nice resurgence there. A lot of fans actually show up to L.A. as where they don't in Tampa Bay. But, you know, this one is more of a reality. The scoble trade, I just, I can't see that working out, you know, unless somebody's turning off fair trades on MLB, the show. That said, we can have a little bit of fun with it right now.

now because it's straight deadline season. It's my favorite time of the year. There's a lot going on though. You think about the fact that we, before the break, Clint, we were talking about, they need frontline pitching. Yeah. After the all-star game, we're like, mercy. They need front line pitching.

They need probably a third baseman. They need so much. Imagine if the rest of the NL West was playing up to their capabilities. I don't know that the Dodgers would have the lead that they have. No, absolutely not. I mean, you're thankful that the Dodgers are able to build enough of a lead and that, you know, other people in the NL West kind of fall apart a little bit. You feel good. If you could on paper, say the Dodgers, you know, finish the first half, what is it, 53 and some on, I forget the number right now, but with a seven game lead in the NL West over the Giants and over the Giants.

Anyways, over, importantly, the Diamondbacks, there it is, Diamondbacks and the Padres. You finish in that spot. You take that just about any time. in a good spot. But again, the problem is all of these holes, all of these concerns, and every other team, all the teams that are in a playoff hunt in a playoff picture with World Series aspiration, they want the same guys the Dodgers want. So luckily, you know, the Dodgers aren't in this somewhat advantageous position where there are a lot of pieces that are coming back from injury, maybe not Max Muncie. We don't know. There's also a lot of guys

at the AAA level, minor league level that we'll eventually get to with JJ when we get our our mic situation sort of squared away. But it's very, I have a hard time kind of, like my brain goes like five different ways when you're trying to figure this out because you look at the injured list. And there's a whole bunch of dudes that could very easily come back and plug right in where maybe you don't need to make a trade for a Justin Turner type, which by the way, I think would fit in. I think JT fits in anywhere. But at the same time,

do you do that thing again, which we've seen this organization do, where you're kind of waiting on guys coming back and then you get burned. I don't think fans will appreciate that this year more than any other year. Why do you think fans should be excited about Kellynne and Lindsay? I mean, he's a first round draft pick.

Always be excited about a first round draft pick. The Dodgers have. done as well when drafting position players in the Andrew Friedman era. So I have a hard time being overly excited about any position player. I don't want to be, you know, come down on the organization because I think they do a phenomenal job. They find pieces. They find pitching and all that kind of, you know, jazz that makes it very much easier to go out and trade for guys and we're able to be in this point what we're talking about. Oh, yeah, the Dodgers can go out and get a Randy a Rosarana,

can go out and get an ESOC Paredes. And it's not really be like, oh, where, where's the talent? You know, where are they going to get? It's like the Padres. They've traded away a boatload of talent

over the last few years to try to remain relevant, try to leapfrog the Dodgers. And if they need somebody, if they need more parts at the trade deadline, yes, they have some prospects, but they don't have as much, you know,

firepower. The Dodgers, they're shopping with their amex card when it comes to all these prospects that they have available. Yeah, but I think San Diego, too, though. I mean, I give them a lot of credit. I mean, AJ Preller makes a ton of trades and he goes out and gets guys. You have to give Peter Seidler, God rest his soul, you know, credit for that ownership group. They wanted to spend money. I mean, and they did spend money. You can't, you can only do as a front office or an ownership group go out and get the best guys that are available. But the guys have to play well. They have to pitch. They have to hit. They have to do all those things. And on paper, the Padres are supposed to be a lot better than they are. Yeah, they absolutely are.

I mean, not having their two, the guys that entered the season as we get into Padres talk here, the guys that they entered the season expecting to be their aces with Joe Musgrove and he's having a bad year. I think he's had some injury issues and now you Darvish, you know, being away from the team. There's some clear needs for them there. You want some help. They want some help in the rotation. But every team kind of needs that. Again, I'll say, I mean, they have a couple of guys coming back, but they'll say with the Dodgers.

We know Kershaw's coming back, probably two weeks. away. Tyler Glassnow probably coming back this weekend. Yoshinov Yamamoto has picked up a ball. It still doesn't take away the fact that they need one more. It feels like they need one more frontline guy because this even gets back into what we were talking about before the season, or the very early throws of the season, that fear that you've had, Alana, in the front end of the rotation, you know, as much as we both love Gavin Stone, talking about him being your number two, number three guy in the postseason, I don't think that's what the Dodgers had envisioned for sure. So it's where you try to go get a scoble. You try to go get a Garrett Crochet, something like that.

Yeah, I still worry about Garrett Crochet just because of the innings limit. And when you're going to need him the most, I don't know if he's going to be available. Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year. He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 23 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm

tackling on no grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps, scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 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. Good people. What's up? What's up?

It's Questlove. So recently, I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with actors and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis, ahead of the release of her new thriller series, Scarpetta. I can honestly say I've never done an interview like. that before, you know, at one point I shut my laptop down. And we just started chatting as old friends, recent Oscar recipient. So we have some commonality there. I predicted that, by the way. And you said these words to me, dust off your mantle. Yes. And I looked at you and I said, what? And you said, dust off your mantle. And then I left and that was it. And then when all of that

happened. I remember the next morning, I think I wanted to, like, write you and go, how did you know? Listen to the Questlove show on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Clayton Eckerd, and in 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan. He became the first Bachelor to ever have his final Rose rejected. The internet turned on him. If I could press a button and rewind it all I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines. It began as a one-night stand and ended in a courtroom with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal.

The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract. Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you. Please search warrant. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. this is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of He Said She Said,

and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. Listen to Love Trapped on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Let me ask you this. Circling back to the week that was, you called it. You said to Oscar Hernandez was going to win the home run derby. And I was watching, I was like, oh, my man, Clint knows exactly what's going on. But what a fun time.

The first ever Dodger to win the home run derby. I believe he has 19 home runs. I think that's fifth in the National League as far as long balls are concerned. What a fun week. I think Major League Baseball did a great job with it. I think it was just a fun week. Yeah, I'll take my victory lap on this one. I totally always truly believed in my heart of hearts that to Oscar Hernandez was going to win it.

I totally wasn't just being a homer for fun. In reality, I also like, like I've said, I like him. He's got big boy strength. It's a very easy, simple swing. And, you know, shout out Dino Evil for grooving him, some cookie, cookie after cookie. But it was fun. It was very much fun watching Tay Oscar kind of show up, show out.

You know, he's been a name in the big leagues, two-time All-Star, but kind of really hammer in, solidify that, that stardom. Like, hey, I'm not just that guy who was sort of hidden in Toronto for all those years or had the bad year with the Mariners last year. It's like I'm I'm a bona fide star in this league and I got some pop to show and that just tells me lock him up sign him sign him he's here on a one year deal he's to me the MVP of the first half of the Los Angeles daughters he has a phenomenal attitude he has a great personality he fits in perfectly he has the power as you suggested this guy has been a very nice surprise he was a surprise for me because I was thinking okay yeah

I thought more of the numbers statistically with the Mariners and with her, you know, with Toronto. But remember, look at Vladdy. Guerrero Jr. was like so psyched, like cheering for him, of course. That was a teammate of his. And that was just fun. And yes, good job on, on Dino Ewell have thrown cookies right down the middle of the plate.

I'm sure Dino's had a lot of time to ice his arm before he starts like, you know, bringing guys in from sending him home from third base. But good for Teoska Hernandez, good for Shohay to be able to hit that bomb. in the, you know, in the actual game, a three-run jack off of Tanner Hauk. You knew that Shohay was going to do something special, right? You just knew it. He had to. You know, wearing the right uniform now, the right Los Angeles uniform.

Seeing Shohay, it sucks that he's raw. Essentially, in my opinion, I think a opinion of a lot of people, was robbed of, you know, an MVP because of Logan Webb. But that aside, show hey, we get nine more seasons of Shohay and All-Star games maybe pitching maybe hitting in one in the future but that was awesome an absolute show bomb a jack 400 footer um he makes it look easy as well just like i love i love how you say because of logan web instead of saying because of jaron grant you hate the the freaking giants it's very funny of you um yeah i'm gonna get you know what i'm going to give some props to jaron

because this is a guy that has talked extensively about how he's had to battle some demons, the whole mental health issue. I realize this is not Red Sox territory, but good for Jaron Duran to be able to overcome some of those things. And we talk about Teoska Hernandez being the first half MVP for the Dodgers. Very easily, Jared Duran is the first half MVP for the Red Sox. And the reason that they could very well make it into the postseason in the American League this year.

All right. How about some behind the seams? So here we have it. And some people don't really like it on July 18th. I don't care. It is what it is. I'm a planner. I like to plan stuff. So this helps me a lot. But the 2025 schedule release happened today. And the first thing that caught my eye, of course, is the Dodgers are headed back to Tokyo against the Chicago Cubs. And they open the season. Again, these games count still in the spring training time frame. But they opened the season against the Cubs in Tokyo. So I was like, oh my gosh, I want to. and go and then I thought to myself, how in the hell am I going to get tickets? Because the entire country of Japan is going to scoop them up because Clint, do you think Otani starts the game? Does Yamamoto start the game? Or is there another Japanese arm that you think might start the game for L.A.? Talking about future Dodger, Roki Sasaki? Come on, I think the series is going to be fun. I do. I also question the timing of it. It just seems like July 18th, you know, I could see the planner

side of it. I can see them trying to line up all of the sponsors and, you know, hoopla that go with it. But also, baseball, you can take a day off every once in a while. It's okay to not have anything go out there on Thursday. That said, hey, shout out to the Cubs. They put out a great video announcing that with Mike Imanaga's jersey and, of course, Seizu Kizzi's jersey going up, still waiting on the Dodgers to drop something heady. The thing that bothers me somewhat, and we knew this was a possibility. The thing that bothers me somewhat is, can we just, and we talked about it before, can we let the Dodgers have one, just one normal spring training for the first time in like five or six years? Because this year is Korea.

Last year, WBC, before that, you had the lockout, 2021 and 20. There's all the stuff going around with COVID. And this is good for baseball. It's good for, you know, if it's good for Roki Sasaki he'd come to the Dodgers, you know, F it, let it happen. But I would like to see the Dodgers just have a normal-ass spring training for once. Hey, old man yelling at clouds. Old man yelling at clouds. It's an international game. And it's always about money, man.

It's always about money. And when you have a $700 million player that is the face of the franchise and the face of the game internationally, going to his home country to pitch and to hit, I can see. And now, again, tickets are going to be. impossible to get. That's what makes me nervous. And of course, they're not going to be handing out media credentials like they hand out candy. So I'm, yeah, I would, I don't really care that it's not a normal spring training for the Dodgers. I think it's, I think it's awesome. I'd love to go. So if anybody out there that's listening to Dodgers territory would like to take Clint Pisces and

myself, I will carry your luggage. I would love to be able to go to this series against the Chicago Cup. They also like how you call Mike Imanaga. That's that's very, that's very incredible. Alana, do you like how, I don't know, I'm going to go with how pimp it is of Guggenheim to be presenting this series. Oh, this is, I've talked about this before. This is the only ownership group that has so much damn money. They sponsor their own team. Sponsor their own team. There's Guggenheim patches on the Dodgers uniforms.

That is just, that's just absolutely. Talk about the ultimate flex. We have so much freaking money. We don't even need other sponsors. We just sponsor our own damn team. Just talk to your, you can talk to your friends there back at, you know, the network at SNLA and all that. I'm sure they could, you know, stow you away as they go over to Tokyo. Man, I would love that.

I would absolutely love that. That's going to be fun, though. Good for them. I'm back for one season just to cover the Tokyo season. I don't want to go to Tokyo that badly. I would go back if I could like go back and live in Manhattan Beach like I did. But that's for another show. That's for another time.

time. Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age.

I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of He Said She Said, and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. Listen to Love Trapped on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, let me ask you this. When you start the second half of the season, I think for a lot of the teams on the cusp of making it into the postseason, which is obviously not the Dodgers,

I think the next 10 to 12 days make or break a lot of teams. Like for example, the Texas Rangers are four games below 500 right now, right? They ended the first half of the season relatively well. Chris Young maintains that he's going to do whatever they can to win. I think their ownership group will do the same. Bruce Bochy is the guy to lead the charge. But the next two weeks is it like kind of D-Day? Is this like the most critical time you think, Clint,

for teams that are really trying to, it's like their playoffs right now, right? Like they've got to do whatever they can the next two weeks to get into the actual postseason. Absolutely. This is where we make buyers and we make sellers. I've been saying on my all Dodgers show last couple of weeks, one of the things Dodgers fans should be rooting for more than anything

is the Texas Rangers to just keep on losing because they have a few guys that would look real good in Dodger Blue, somebody like a Nate Ievaldi coming back home, somebody like a Josh Smith, who's having a breakout year, who could do the same type of role we're talking about with Justin Turner, maybe play some third base, which he's been doing there for Texas, you know,

as Josh Young was out, slide him over to second base if Gavin Lux hasn't figured it out by that point in the season. So they have a couple of guys there, or if you want to get wild, have some fun again. Another one of these trades that absolutely will not happen, and I understand that. For the sake of speculation and the sake of still waiting on our guest to, you know, get some things squared away.

Jacob de Grom coming back healthy. I know. No. No. You know, it's funny. I saw something today and now I'm bum that I don't know where it is. But somebody posted on Instagram today that the top five pitchers, as far as money is concerned, they've won like a combined like eight games. Two are still on, or two is on that.

One's on the deal. DeGrom's still on the IL. He hasn't won L game. I think Blake Snell is 0 and 3. Max Scherzer, you know, whatever. You have all these guys that are that are on the deal that are making a boatload of money. It's a bummer. Anyway, again, it's easy for us to spend people's money, but, you know, you've got to perform. I don't want DeGrum. I don't want Hobby Baez. I don't want Jacob de Grum. I don't want. Who else do I not want? I want Justin Turner. I would take Justin Turner. I would take Matt Chapman. I don't, I sock,

Faradis is fine. I would take him. Yeah. Brady's, he's one of those sneaky guys that I don't think a lot of people league-wide know about. And, you know, 30-homer season last year. I think he's at like 20-some-odd right now. Again, another one of those guys look real, real nice in a Dodger uniform, let's say, by tomorrow.

Or, hey, we get about a week to the last lips. All right, not. Only, Clint, do we have one or two or three or four. But today I present to you and our Dodgers territory audience seven puppies that are up for adoption. This is the Big Bang Theory litter. So you have Sheldon, you have Leonard, you have Priya, you have Amy, you have Bernadette, you have Beverly, who's Leonard's mom. I'm missing. I'm missing folks. But there's Sheldon, there's Leonard. There's seven puppies that were born to a dog that was a stray in L.A. She was dumped in South LA and she gave birth two months ago.

These puppies are two months old. They just got their second round of puppy vaccines yesterday. They're due for their third round on August 7th. They are wonderful. We have DNA tests out on all of them. We're waiting to get the results back, but they're sweet. They're ready to go home in about two to three weeks. They all need loving forever homes.

If you're interested in adopting one of these beautiful little pups, there's five girls. There's two boys. Sheldon and Leonard are the only boys. there's five girls. Visit us at giddreysgarden.org or hit us up on social media at giddre's guardian and I would love to be able to give you some more information. So thank you for that. We appreciate it. All right, let me ask you this as we have a kind of a final thought here on Dodgers territory. The Red Sox and the Dodgers face off in Los Angeles this weekend. So the teams

are very different now. And I know that they were here last year. The Dodgers were here last year at Fenway, but the team since they met in 2018 have gone very different directions. The Dodgers have put together some really good clubs. The Red Sox are kind of scratching and clawing to get into the postseason this year. So this is how much money each Major League Baseball team made last year and how much of that is going towards their payroll. So basically how much you make versus how much you're investing, reinvesting back to your team. You see the Dodgers there. We're talking about Guggenheim. And it's easy to make fun of them because they're billionaires, but they do put their money where their mouth is.

whereas the Red Sox are 20th on the list. Yeah, a very different angles of attack there for both of these organizations. And it also shows there's different ways to kind of piecemeal a team into the postseason. Look at the race, dead last on that list. And they tend to make it to the playoffs quite often. I think the Red Sox were hoping for a little bit more out of like, if we're talking about going back a couple years, of course, they trade away. the Red Sox tradeway mooky bets.

I think they were hoping for a little bit more out of the haul they got from the Dodgers. Alex Verdugo didn't quite end on good terms in Boston there. And they haven't had the best of luck in free agency in recent years. You know, Teoscar Hernandez, they also don't want to spend the money. That's what it comes down to. They didn't want to spend the money. I saw on the X, I think earlier today, Teosker, or the Red Sox had Oscar offered to Oscar 2 years and 28.

ends up taking one and 23.4 or whatever it was from the Dodgers. It's like, there's your difference. There's two teams that make money and are willing to spend it. And, you know, kudos to the Red Sox for being kind of in it. At least they have a starting rotation right now somewhat. The Dodgers are all TBD for this weekend. For this weekend. I know. I know. I did not think that, and I don't even know what our starting rotation is this weekend, if I'm being honest, but I'm assuming it's, you know, it's Gavin. It's probably. probably would be river ryan could be river ryan could be making his that's true and that's something we were going to actually ask j j cooper about with baseball america is fabian ardaia had said and we had phobby on the show not too long ago but fobby and our guy had said that river um uh god i just river ryan yeah thank you river ryan was uh going to be making his debut but again like

i just feel like this is out of necessity thank goodness that they have a cushion in the division because these guys are coming up because they absolutely don't have anybody. They don't have any arms right now. And it's it is problematic. Yeah, it really is. I mean, Tyler Glass now we know. I think everybody in the world knows the injury is not an injury. It was a break.

So he will be coming back as soon as he's eligible to return from the injured list. So that's good. You get a grown up back in the rotation as it were. But we keep circling back to this team needing some help. And looking at the chat here, by the way, going back a little bit. bit did not make too many friends mentioning de grom in there kenny chung saying de grom and shirzer are both cooked i don't know about that maybe maybe not in dodger blue i don't want to necessarily see them but when you're when you're desperate you just throw names out there that's the fun of this

time of year on the internet you can just you can just say shit and it might most likely won't happen but yeah i don't know i i still am a little salty about sherser and a dodger uniform when there was like arm fatigue or whatever the hell it was in the postseason like that that i'm a little salty about that i'm not going to lie i have a question for you before we we trend towards wrapping up you mentioned justin turner does it concern you that jt hasn't really played much third since leaving the dodgers no i think it's like a ride in a bike i mean remember when he got when he was signed with us was as a freaking second baseman he was a utility guy second basement and then it was like all of a sudden he's at third we're like what what are we doing and then

ended up being one of the best in terms of i just i don't care if justin turner catches i think there's just something about him there is a it's an intangible thing i think that he brings to this club and there's something special i think about his his way and the way that he goes about his business and the glue and the unity that he provides and we need a third base I think he lengthens the lineup. I think that he just brings a lot to the table. Is it a forever solution? No, but he's 40.

I mean, how long is J.T. going to play? You know? Yeah, I mean, he says he wants to play into his 40s. And if he comes back to the Dodgers, comes back to LA, he's already right there to take over in some sort of coaching role with the team. It all works. Happy ending. By the way, congratulations to him and Courtney on Bo Jordan Turner.

their baby boy. What's next on all Dodgers, Clint? Well, I'll be complaining less about Justin Turner and all of that on the show. But tonight I welcome my friend from ESPN, LA, Greg Bergman.

So recently I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with an actress and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis, from routines to recovery, true lies, and a certain Jermaine Jackson music video. Jamie's real and raw. And it's something I really admire about her.

I am so happy that I'm the head bitch in charge at 67, that I have the perspective that I have at my age to really be able to be able to. put all of this into context.
