  Speaker 1: Matter up. Alec Burlason of the Cardinals joining us right now,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I'll give me one phone flip so that we can
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: see you straight and sideways. Boom, there it is, is looking great,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: doing great? Yes, Hey, how you doing. How's the season
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: going so far? For I think a team that you know,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the public said, oh, this is the rebuild year. Cardinals
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: are seven and five. You have a lot of guys
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: that you've been playing with for years that are starting
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: to break out. How does it look from your end?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, first of all, thanks for having me. But it's
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: just been a lot of fun. Like obviously, I came
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: up with a lot of these guys and you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: being around in for years, watching them, you know, progress
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: through the minors and then you know, make their debuts
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and we all kind of came up together, and it's
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: just it's a really fun clubhouse. Like I don't feel
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: like there's any uh, you know, clicks or anything like
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: nobody's know in little groups. We're all together and it's
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: just been a lot of fun to be with these
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: guys every day.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: What does a fun clubhouse in Saint Louis look like?
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Because I know when some of you guys first came
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: up talking to some of the younger guys in spring
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: training or just like different times I see guys they
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: were like, dude, these guys have so many rules, like
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: we gotta wear beat, we gotta wear our jersey during
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: BP it's so hot. No other teams do that. So
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: what does that look like for you guys in the
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: sense of like, well, we are our own people, we're
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: our own group. We're gonna create this the way we
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: want to create it moving forward.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: There's obviously a way to be a big leaguer, right,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: there's a certain way to go about your business and
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: be a big leaguer and get your work in, do
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: your video work.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: All that good stuff.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: But I think it's I think we've set the standard
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: where you know, you're you're gonna do that stuff, You're
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: gonna get your work in, you're gonna watch video, you're
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: gonna you know, we're gonna have meetings and stuff, all
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: that all that good stuff. But in between that, like
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: we're gonna have fun, We're gonna, you know, go to dinners,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: We're gonna you know, even in the dugout during games,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Like it's it's it's just different, like it's hard to
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: put into words like what the feel is. But we
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: just have a lot of guys that are just playing
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: with their hair on fire, and you know, I think
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: we've got some good results out of it so far.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it's it's it's a it's a good group.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: We're young, but we have experience and looking forward to
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: seeing what we can do.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: You know. Moving forward, I want.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: To talk about you personally as a hitter. H Can
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: you talk about your approach? Can you talk about how
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: you go about each and every day?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: What's your plan?
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: Uh in the in the batting cage, Like, how do
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: you get your day going?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Hitting wise?
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: I know there's probably a video you watch, but for
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: you ultimately take us through, you know, a day for you,
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: how you get set up and and and what's your approach?
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I could probably sit here for up hours and and
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: go into detail with all that stuff.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean i'd show up.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I found out last year that a bigger, the biggest
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: part of my day is the first part of the day.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: When I get in the weight room, I get my
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: body moving, uh.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: In the ways that I need it to move.
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: So I take that very seriously. So I'm in the
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: weight room first thing.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: If there's anything in the training room I need, uh,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: you know, knock that stuff out, but definitely take pride
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: in the weight room work, get my body moving, like
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I said, the way I need it to move. And
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: then you know, my cage routine is strictly based on
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: what the starter's doing that day.
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: You know, I practice, we call it practice all your shots,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: whatever shots I need to take that day, uh, for
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: whatever that starter calls for. You know, I practice those
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: in the cage and then you know, come out and
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: maybe take VP on the field. You know, most of
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the time I'm in the cage taking BP. I don't
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: do too much on the field. But yeah, and the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: right before the game, I'm on a machine with a
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: lot of VLAs, trying to get my body ready to go.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: H You know, I felt in the past that the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: first inning hasn't been my best friend. I wasn't ready
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to go. So I've really tried to hone in on
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that this year and be ready to go in the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: first inning. So yeah, that's the basics of it. It's
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: very it's a lot more detail oriented than I just
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: talked about it, but it's something that worked for me.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: So since you hit in the cage or does that
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: mean you're a you're a trajectorman you use the troject
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: all the time or is that not part of your stick?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I use it a little bit more in spring just
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to see, you know, you haven't faced live pitching, just
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: to use that a little bit. But no, I don't
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: typically use it. I just used the regular machine and
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: kind of shape that fastball for whatever that starter's fastball has.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: If there's somebody I haven't seen or they have a
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: funky arm action or release point, whatever it is, I
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: may jump on there, but I'm not you know, I'm
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: not on that thing religiously like some of our guys.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: All right, I got two guys and I want you
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: just there are two different points in their career, but
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: they're both have started out really well. JJ weatherholpt rookie something,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: possibly Rookie of the Year. Jordan Walker. I think he's
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: got five dingers now if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, so
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: I think he's tied for the league league. Talk about
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: those two guys and how JJ's transitioned to the big leagues,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: and we saw Jordan's transition to the big leagues when
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: he was like nine years old seventeen years ago, and
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: now he's twenty three and we're like, wait a minute,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: that how is this going on?
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll start with I'll start with Walker.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: You know, he when he debuted, like he had a
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: really pretty good debut year, and then I think you
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: realized he needed to make some adjustments and because the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: league was adjusting to him, and you know, I don't
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: know if he didn't make the right adjustments or he
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: made the wrong adjustments, whatever it was, he just didn't
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: look comfortable. But now, like you said, he's got five homers.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: He looks like he's you know, on another planet. But
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the biggest thing for.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Me with Jay Walk is, uh, you know, I've.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Noticed a maturity level from him that he's just gotten
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: so much better at it.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Where you know, his first two at bats he made
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: punch out. I saw the other day his.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: First two at bats weren't great. You know, he didn't
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: he didn't look great in the box, but he didn't
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: let those affect his third at bat. And you know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I think in years prior you would have seen a
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: little a little bit different from that.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: But I mean he's, you know, he's doing his thing.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: He's uh, you know, obviously swing swinging the bat really well,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and you know, looking forward to seeing what he could
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: do for a full year. And then JJ, yeah, he's
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: very very slow, heartbeat. You know, the game never looked
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: too fast for him. His defense has been incredible. It's
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: been a lot of fun being on that right side
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: of the endfield with him. And then, uh, you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I can see the way obviously he's leading off for us,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: and it's he's a good he's a good tool for
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: me to use to see how guys are, how guys
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: are attacking lefties that day. So and then you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: they bringing a lefty in the bullpen for him and
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: me at the top, and so I kind of use
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: him as a little little bait to see what they're
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: gonna do.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: But no, he's good.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: He's uh, you know, very mature for his age, and
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: he's uh, you know, he's going to do a lot
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: of special things in Saint Louis and you know, hopefully,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: hopefully I'm around to see that.

• 8:38
  Speaker 3: The words you say you're the vet. You got like
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: three plus years, so you're the vet in this lineup
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: right before you came on.
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: I don't know if you heard what we were.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Talking about about how like some people treat rookies like trash,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: and I think there's a fine line there and you
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: need to be on the field with these dudes. You
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: just start talking about how JJ weatherhol is, you know,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: he's so mature beyond his years. You still get on
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: them a little bit though, right, Like there's something that
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: like he's pretty jack Like does he not wear enough shirts?
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Does he like not eat enough cheeseburgers? Like you still
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: need to get on a rookie correct or is the
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: cardinal way?
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: No?
• 9:14
  Speaker 9: Everybody, peace, love and harmony.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Bro.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: No, I'll get on anybody. I don't care who you are.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: No, there's definitely you, you know with the rookie stuff
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: where you got to sing on the bus and all
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: that stuff. That was definitely definitely done. And you know,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that video you saw the video of us
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: put him in the cart for all of his first
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: that he did in two games, which was you know crazy.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Took me a few weeks to get my first. But yeah,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: there's definitely a fine line where, like you said, you
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: have to compete with these guys and you have to
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: be able to to you know, communicate throughout a game.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: But on the other hand, some guys do it to
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: themselves and they make it a lot more easy for
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: us to you know, get on them or or you know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: play with them, joke with them, whatever.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Maybe they bring it on themselves.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: So I won't name any names, but uh, there's a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: few guys that they just kind of do it to themselves.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: But yeah, jj JJ is tough.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: To He's tough to crack, so we'll I'm still working
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: on them.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Wait, so there's rookies that that bring it on themselves
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: because of the things that they do.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, no no names or anything, but you know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: you've seen those rookies that you know they say some
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: things or you know, do some things that you're just like,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: what are you doing? And uh, you give them crap
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: for it. So yeah, no no names. Maybe off camera
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: we could talk about it, but uh, it's it's it's
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: tough with when you have a team full of rookies too, right,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta be able to manage that stuff
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: along with trying to show them the way of you know,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: being a big leader in what that looks like. So
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: definitely a fine line. But this team's this, this team's
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: got it for sure.
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: I love it.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna put you on the spot here a little
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: bit again here Wilson contrarash your old teammate, man, You
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: see how mad he got getting hit by a pitch.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: I'm putting out a little threat there, a little action,
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: just trying to figure out what side you're on on
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: this little situation, and you know who's in the wrong.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: I haven't talked to any other players about it, so
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: I want to get your take on the whole thing.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I love Wilson. I love Wilson, so probably
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: on this side. If if it's true that he's been
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: hit twenty four or twenty five, whatever the.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Number was, If that's a truth, if that's a true.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Statement, you know, I'm not for taking guys out or
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: whatever he said, but uh, you know, he's one of
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: my guys.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Obviously, spent a lot of time with him at first base.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: He was asking me questions about first base, so you know,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: we spent a lot of time together, and so he's
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: definitely one of my guys. And so yeah, you know
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: when he was obviously we're playing him, playing him this
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: uh this weekend so uh, you know, hopefully he doesn't.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Try to do anything too crazy. Hopefully we uh with
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: him a little bit, stay stay down on the zone
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: from him.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: But uh, yeah, it's if you've been hit twenty four
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: or twenty five, whatever the number is, if you've been
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: hit that many times, then then there's there's some kind
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: of issue.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait, oh, you are playing him right now,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: and you said it like you gotta throw Wilson up
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: and in. You gotta like the heat map, don't lie.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: You can't let Wilson. Hey, if you're gonna let Wilson
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Contreras lean out over the plate, Cardinals are gonna be
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: playing from behind, I'm just you. You've seen it, and
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: so you have to throw him in. But to me,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: as a ex teammate of his, if he charges them
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: out and trying to think of some new pitch, dustin May,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: let's one run up and in. He wasn't there last
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: year so they don't know each other. Yeah, and Wilson
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: starts chirping, are you gonna get are you going to
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: get in the way or you a little scot.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I'll just that'll be part of the rookie. I'll just
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: throw JJ in front of him and let JJ fin
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: for himself. So that'll that'll be his welcome to the
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: big leagues. We'll just throw throw JJ in front of
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: him and see what happens.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I think Wilson's like a mongoose or something. I think
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: he's just gonna like I don't know, he would go
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: he would go crazy. My last question for you, you
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: are a two way player in college show Hay and
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: what he's doing. I want you to comment on what
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: show Hay does. But I also we talked about it
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: yesterday about how Major Baseball kind of made the show
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Hay rule and it kind of makes it unfair for
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Alec Burlson to become a two way player in the
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: big leagues because you would be you would need to
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: have whatever thirty innings in to be able to qualify
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: for the show Hey rule. So do you feel like
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: that's something that a you could have handled being a
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: two way player in the big leagues be do you
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: think it's fair that Majorleague Baseball made it basically just
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: only for show Hay.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Well, Number one, No, I cannot be a two way
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: in the big leagues. I could hardly. I could hardly
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: do in college.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know, I threw my eighty nine mile r
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: fastball down the middle and said here, try and hit it,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: and you know, had a couple of speed pitches with that,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't great.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Uh you know, I got outs.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: But no, definitely could not do that in the big
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: leagues with playing one hundred and sixty two games and
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: then you know, definitely couldn't start. If guy's game plan
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: for me, it would not be good. So no, I
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: cannot do that. But you know, it's it's been said
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: so many times, but what he does is so impressive. Uh,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: just not from a production standpoint, not from a you know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: how many homers he hits and spaces he steals and
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: strikeouts he has. This it's more of just the wear
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: and tear on the body and how he is able
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: to post every single day, just from being from the inside,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously being a big leaguer like that's probably
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: the hardest part of it, not the production aspect of it.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean I've tried to vouch for you know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: thirty innings or whatever that rule is and see if
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I can be a two way guy next year, and uh, but.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: But it's it's just too it's just too hard to
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: do what he does, so like, yeah, that he the
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: rule is for show hey, obviously, and I just think
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: it's too hard to do that in the big leagues
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: effectively and productively. Like, I just think it's too hard.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm fine with the show Hay rule or
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: whatever you want.
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: To call it.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: There you go. We figured we'd find someone with some
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: real world pological experience.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Yep, it's it's way too hard. It's way too hard.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I felt every day in college, I felt like my
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: body was going to fall apart. So could imagine doing
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: it every single day?
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: You're like the poor man's Jack Caglione. Then okay, so
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: we're gonna leave it at that, and that's what it is,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: you and Jack. Like we could put a graphic up
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: like Jack Kglione Alec Burlson.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, probably not the same category, same, not the
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: same same, same, same but different, same but different Okay, different.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: There you go, same but different exactly. Well still even
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: to get that far doing both, yeah, and to get
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: that perspective that it's crazy, right, not many even doing
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: it like you were doing back then, in college. But yeah,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: stick stick to hitting. We're liking what we're seeing out
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: there and Cardinals are looking good. It's been fun to
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: follow so far. Here for the team at seven and five, Alex,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: thanks for joining us man always really appreciate it and
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: love the combos.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Good luck this weekend of course, thanks guys.
• 16:53
  Speaker 10: Brad Paisley joining the show today, Brad, thank you so
• 16:56
  Speaker 10: much for being a part.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Of the show day.
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: Thrilled to be here. This is my favorite thing to
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: talk about right now.
• 17:06
  Speaker 10: Yes, the Dodgers. I know that you're a huge fan.
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: Before we get into your fandom and how that came about,
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: I want to talk to you about something that is
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: super cool. I saw when you gave Mooky Bets the
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: Dodgers shortstop, a fender that you presented to him, and
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: John Suhu, the team photographer, wanted me to tell you,
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: Brad that Mooky has been practicing on your fender a ton.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: How did this come about?
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: How did you find out Mouke was learning the guitar
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: and what made you want to do this?
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: Well, I mean it's well known he's practicing the guitar,
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: and first of all, I find that offensive, but he's
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: because he's too good at everything. And I figured, you know,
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: it was something where I saw that he had a
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: certain guitar and I.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Thought, you know what I should give him.
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: That's one of my Fender models they make, and I
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: was like, we should give him one of these. And
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: I actually reached out to his people and just said,
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: does he want an electric to learn on? And they
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: they said immediately yes. But what's weird is when I
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: handed it to him, he winced, like you maybe hurt
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: his back. I don't think it was me. They keep
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: talking about him going around the bases and maybe heard something,
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: but now I saw him WinCE when I handed him
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: that guitar.
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you know what I was wondering.
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: I mean, obviously with where you're at there, it's a
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: guitar or a guitar where you.
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: At in that range, uh, guitar.
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: I just want to make sure. I want to make sure.
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: Have you heard him play at all? Mookie play at all?
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: No?
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I haven't.
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: I handed it to him on the field and we
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: didn't stop the game or anything, so I haven't heard him.
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: Though I anxiously await his debut. It could go either way, folks.
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: He's really good at what he tackles. As you know, Alana,
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: I mean you've seen him. It's like the guy just
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: dives in. But that this is a different animal. I
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: mean it could be, it could be, you know, wonderful,
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: and it also could be I want that back, Brat.
• 19:24
  Speaker 11: I so I'm heston to admit this to our live audience.
• 19:26
  Speaker 11: I don't even think Alana and Clint know. But back
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: in my prime, my college days, I actually say in
• 19:31
  Speaker 11: the national anthem for a couple of spring training games. Now,
• 19:35
  Speaker 11: the difference between yours and mine is that yours were
• 19:37
  Speaker 11: actually great, mine.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Not so much, and mine at that Mine don't.
• 19:42
  Speaker 11: Go eighteen innans. Yours tend to you tend to give
• 19:45
  Speaker 11: us a little bit of free baseball. Are you aware
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: of the effect that you have, especially in the postseason,
• 19:50
  Speaker 11: with your performances.
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's pretty it's pretty fun. Actually, it's a great
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: it's a great stat in the sense that we usually win.
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: So I'm good with that. But like the it's a
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: very strange. You almost couldn't you couldn't plan for it.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's the type of thing that I don't
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: think it'll probably ever happen again. No one's gonna have
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: I don't think anybody's gonna have the anthem at to
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: the two longest games in World Series history to eighteen
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: inning games, in addition to the one just as memorable,
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: maybe more more memorable, honestly, was Game one against the
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: Yankees with Freddy's walk off Grand Slam. So having sung
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: for all those, it's a wild feeling. It's like in
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: the middle of the in the middle of Game three
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: in the last World Series, I just kept thinking, no
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: way when it got to the tenth and then the eleventh,
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: and at that point I thought, well, this is really wild,
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: my and this is what I thought. I thought my
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: last couple World Series went extras, including the longest ever.
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: By the time we got to the eighteenth I.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Was like, this is insane.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: This is it.
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: And I remember when they said around the fourteenth inning,
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: They're like, well, this is officially the second longest World
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: Series in history, World Series game in history, and I thought, well,
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: I sang it the other one, and then the next thing,
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: you know, it goes eighteen. I don't really and then
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: I ran into all these people. You know, it was
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: a fun stat that got talked about. It's a hard
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: thing to end up in some sort of Baseball trivia
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: book without actually ever having played. But it's brad fun.
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: You are such a fan of the team, but certainly
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: the fan of the players too personally. And I know
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: you have a great relationship with Clayton and Ellen Kershaw.
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: How odd was it or is it for you to
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: not see Kersh wearing a uniform and just seeing him
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: kind of hanging out and enjoying it in a different way.
• 21:52
  Speaker 10: I know, during the ring ceremony you got to hang
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: out with him a little bit and watch the game
• 21:56
  Speaker 10: with Kersh with a different perspective.
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: It was unbelievable.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: It was so surreal to see him gallop onto the field.
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: They did it really cool.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: They had Oral.
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: Pretend to throw out the first pitch and then act
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: like he hurt his arm, and Doc came out and
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: motioned to the bullpen or whatever, and now pitching and
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: relief please welcome, you know, and they've started tonight.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: We're young.
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: As he ran out and you know, and here he
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: wore a jersey one last time and he ran out
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: there and his wild you know, it was the feeling
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: of a new era, like in that moment, more than
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: anything that I have sort of felt like and he
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: was so he's so as you know, he's the most
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: down to earth human being you'll ever meet. And he's
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: so at peace with it and grounded with it, I think,
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: and he like, I know, it had to be weird
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: for him, but he just kept kind of grinning. And
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: even we went to uh we went up and watched
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: from a suite and that was something I will cherish
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: for the rest of my life, is getting to watch.
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: I asked him, I said, have you ever been to
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: a Major League Baseball game before without you know, riding
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: the bus in through the tunnel? And he said it
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: had been a while, you know, probably since he was
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: a kid or something. I think he said he might
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: have gone to like a Detroit Tigers World Series game
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: early on, but he hasn't. He had never been to
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: a Dodger game other than you know, as an as
• 23:43
  Speaker 8: a member of the team. So it was really really neat.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: And he walked out in the in the suite area
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: and I looked at the field and it's just.
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: That vibe and he just went, oh, I see why
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: people do this. It was really it was really magical
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: to see him, you know, experience honestly, the house he
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: helped build right.
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I mean it's got to be kind
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: of surreal for you being such a massive fan, but
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: also having such a tight relationship with Clayton. Obviously, you
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: guys have been involved in each other's charities in different ways.
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: I was at this this ping pong event there in
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: twenty nineteen, great one that was put on the suit.
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: He brought it out, he brought he brought out the
• 24:35
  Speaker 9: best he could.
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: To also play a little bit of ping pong for
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: you know, ping pong for a purpose.
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: Brian Cranson was there. But yeah, what's that kind of
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: like having such a.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: Close relationship with somebody you also to a degree, you
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: know you're watching them, You're kind of idolize these players
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: on the field, and you know they make you happy,
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: they make you mad, they make you sad.
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: What's that like?
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: It's the most it's such a pleasant surprise to see
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: that he's a better person than he is a picture
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: I was, you know, I mean we're talking like the
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: best picture of our generation, and yet he's an even
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: better person.
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: You know, I didn't know he'd be this cool when
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: I became friends with and you know, I've we Kim
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: and I have said all along we model how we
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: sort of utilize success to make the world a better
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: place based on Clayton and Ellen. There's nobody that does more,
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: I think with what they've been given than those two.
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: It's a pretty inspiring thing to watch in spite of juggling,
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: you know, and half a baseball team of children, you know, honestly,
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: and then also finding time to like raise money for
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: these causes that they're always championing. I think also there
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: was an article I saw recently that kind of summed
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: it up that the heart of the Dodgers and the
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: giving nature of it and the way the team, the leadership, hierarchy,
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: and the class that I think the team at its
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: best personifies comes from Clayton, which was sort of the
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: top down I mean he as far as the players go, like,
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: he set the tone in terms of he always had
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: the ping pong avan. He always made sure that players
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: knew they needed to do charity things. It's no I
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: think it's no coincidence that somebody like Chris Taylor has
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: his polar Bear type challenge that he does and Will
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: Smith's now doing comedy. Mookie's got his stuff. Although Mookie
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: probably would have done it anyway. But it's like, but
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: it's wild to see. I think the effect he had
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: on the team in every way.
• 26:56
  Speaker 12: You know you can you can contribute, or you can
• 26:58
  Speaker 12: attribute his contribution to to the to the success they've
• 27:03
  Speaker 12: had in a giving sense, you know.
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: The giving keeps happening. When you're talking about twenty two.
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: Another event you were involved with was Casey Live and
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: there was a couple of years ago where Clayton graced
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: us all.
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: Maybe it's not as good as Katie Woo's national anthem, but.
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: He graced us with his voice on stage with you.
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna play the clip and maybe it's been a
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: little while since you've seen it, but I need you
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: to grade him. Here, guys, here's the future Hall of
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: Famer Clayton Edward Kershaw singing with legendary country music musician
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: Brad Paisley.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: See guy, earl you wow O. Sounds crazy? Alright to
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: give it in.
• 27:44
  Speaker 12: A world.
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: No notes, no notes? That's that's beautiful notes boom, that's
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: pretty good.
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah, there were were not in any danger of him.
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: You know, he's a Hall of Famer, but not in
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: the country.
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: What's what's that show where you push the button the
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: chair turns around. You're not pushing the button and calling
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: him on the voice, Yeah, the voice, there you go.
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: Sorry, he's he is such a he's such a good
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: good sport though a lot of a lot of players
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: are sort of a little too cool for school and
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: they would never get up and goof around like that.
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: So yeah, it's it's it's a fun, it's a really
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: it's really neat friendship. And it's interesting now, you know what.
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: It's his playful nature with you know, he's Andrew Friedman
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: has him as a special assistant now. And he got
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: a badge that is his like employee badge, you know,
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: alta you have one, and it's and he wore it
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: around the stadium the whole day like on his belt.
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: Like anyone's gonna ever stop him from walking in there.
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: But you have I have a feeling every time you
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: go there, he'll he'll show his badge.
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: He's job, I'm supposed to be here.
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: I promise it's corporate.
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly. Meanwhile, he'd be walking past a statue of
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: himself with his badge.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: That will be the.
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: Next Yep, he's a rule follower, exactly.
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: There's nothing wrong with that, No, no, Brad. Let's let's
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: take it back a little bit to the twenty twenty
• 29:26
  Speaker 11: three Winter meetings. They were in Nashville, and I believe
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: you actually hosted the MLB Draft Lottery also, and then
• 29:32
  Speaker 11: you were kind of post the Dodgers at your house.
• 29:36
  Speaker 11: We saw some Dave Roberts action friend of the show,
• 29:39
  Speaker 11: Dave Massey.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Look at that guy, look at that smile.
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: Oh good lord, that David made the cut today.
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: He made the cut, made the cut. But I'm curious
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: to know because some some Dodger Laura might have gone
• 29:54
  Speaker 11: down that night. What was your take and your experience
• 29:57
  Speaker 11: watching this Tyler Glass now trade come to fruition.
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: It was one of the most fun things I've ever done,
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: I really, as far as like, first of all, hosting
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: Dave and Andrew. And when I say Dave, I mean
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: Dave Roberts, not David ns No, but hosting all these guys.
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: They are amazing and they just had the day they
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: walked in this house. I was waiting with really expensive
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: whiskey for them because Dave had stuck his foot in
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: his mouth that day. Well not really, but he made
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: the mistake of being honest with the media and said
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: and basically was like, yes, we've talked with showhey. And
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: so everybody thought he blew the deal if they were
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: going to have one because they were supposed to not
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: talk about it or something. And so next thing you know,
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: it was Defcon five and everybody was having emergency meetings
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: and when they came down, they had just been sitting
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: and talking about like, Okay, did we hurt anything? Did
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: you mess up? And it's great because they I got
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: to let them unwind and they got to kind of
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: like when when Doc walked in, I handed him a
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: glass of Pappy Van Winkle and was like, I think
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: you need this, and he said I need more than
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: one of them of these bees. And the next thing
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: you know, Andrew came up and said, are you a
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: Tyler glassnew fan. I've been trying to get that deal done.
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: He said here, say hi, and he put Eric Neander
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: on the phone. He said, say i'd Eric Neander and
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: I said, he Eric, you're with the wrong team or
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: you could be here and and then he said, well, man,
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: I wish I could. And then he got on there
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: with Andrew and he said that sounds like Brad Paisley.
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: That's a good impression. And Andrew said, no, we're really
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: at his house having he's got a bar and we're
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: all hanging out. And I said, and then he came
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: to me and he said, were you serious about him
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: coming down here? Because I was like, y'all should come
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: down And I said, will it help? And he said
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: I think it might, and I said, yeah, send him down.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: Next thing, you know, eight Tampa Bay Rays front office
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: people walk in, so we've already got about thirty Dodgers.
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: There's eight Rays. They stayed till four in the morning
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: and called an uber. One of the front office people
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: with one of the team's face planted in the front
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: yard on the way to the uber not kidding, had
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: grass stains on their face. When they got back to
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: the hotel at five in the morning, and yeah, and
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: this is all this is all true. And I watched
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: as him and Andrew sort of like when Eric walked in.
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: It was about eleven o'clock when Eric came in, and
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: here's the GM of the Rays and he sits down
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: at the bar and he's like, what do you got?
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: And I said, well, this whole top shelf's the most
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: expensive stuff, and you don't get that till Tyler Glassnell's
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: a Dodger and he's like say, all right, well fine,
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: I'll just deal with you. What do you think of
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: so and so? And I'm like, that'd be a great
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: ray and then and that's really how it was going.
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: And then the next thing you know, he disappears into
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: the next room with Andrew and they sort of talked
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: for a while and came back and and when they left,
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: I asked Andrews, so what do you think? He said,
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: I think it's probably that's looking good. I'll let you know.
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: And then a couple of days later he wrote me
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: you get the assist, which was really fun. I mean,
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: but it is what you what you hope. Like when
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: when I think of baseball movies or any of these things,
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: I think of guys at a bar, you know, piano
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: music in the background and they write some stuff down
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: on a napkin and they're like, what do you think
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: and they're like, yeah, we'll do that. And that's kind
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: of how it happened.
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: Do you get an employee badge out of that? I mean,
• 33:53
  Speaker 9: that's that's.
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: An you would think, But no, I need to be
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: there with Clayton or they're gonna not let me in.
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: Come on, man, we have some questions from our boys
• 34:04
  Speaker 10: on the Foul Territory show, Brad. So this is coming
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: from Todd Frasier, obviously longtime big leaguer. He wants to
• 34:10
  Speaker 10: know from you, what is your scouting report on yourself
• 34:15
  Speaker 10: as a player when you were younger. For fans that
• 34:17
  Speaker 10: don't know you're from Virginia, you played a little ball yourself.
• 34:20
  Speaker 10: I think the musician side of you worked out just fine.
• 34:26
  Speaker 10: What's your scouting report on young Brad Paisley?
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: Subpar speed, subpar bat speed, not good at strike zone coverage,
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: weak arm, probably not suitable for single A. Should sing
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: the national anthem
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: H m hm
