That's claren question.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Row.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
A what that's a classic movie? A what that's a
Claren question?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Row What I've got death inside of me. It's just
a question of whether or not I can outlive it.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Going out Vic Petros and Monday AM five seventy LA Sports.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We are
your home for NFL football. We are your home of
the twenty twenty four World Series champion Dodgers. Tonight, No Dodgers,
you guessed it. NFL football, Thursday Night football coming up
in less than an hour, or actually right around an
(00:46):
hour between the Eagles and the Commanders. And our flex
Alert today started at too same schedule Tomorrow p two pm,
but only till four with an NBA Cup game between
the Clipper and the Rockets.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Did the Clippers win the last time we took the
night off for.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Them, No, they lost. They lost, not handily, but never
really felt like the game was in the balance. And
I think like a lot of football, you know, as
a football man, pee, you know a lot of times
when you're gonna face someone a second time or maybe
in the playoffs particularly, don't want to show your hand,
(01:26):
you know, you want to save some stuff for that
potential playoff matchup. And I think that's what the Clippers
were doing for the NBA Cup tonight, Like, you know what, guys,
let's just play this one Vanilla and then see they're
really going to pull out some crazy s on the
Rockets in the NBA Cup on Friday.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I am not the football or basketball man that you are, Matt,
but I will. I don't see the connection. I just
don't see. I mean, don't you play to win the game?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Like herm says, the NBA Cup will afford you a
banner that many can gaze upon in your rafters, and
why not sacrifice so Wednesday night, one of eighty two
over the course of the twenty four to twenty five
campaign in order to notch that first victory. Now that's
a good point, and that first step toward that NBA
Cup banner come tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Because the Clipper's got nothing up there, nothing, not even
a retired number.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I mean, it's like the stadium you were just in
the big House in Michigan. It's a naked lady.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Naked is the day you were born.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
There's nothing up there. Nobody to honor Elton brand Corey
mcgetty nothing.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
How about freaking loy Vought. Huh? How about it that
gotn't sacrifice enough on the court for you, Clippers, Bo Kimball, right,
nothing nothing, Mike Dunleavy.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
So you win an in bill, bitch, you win one
of those bootleg NBA in seasons. You know, Matt, you might.
That's an illuminating point, Matt. You're really on a roll.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Today, acknowledged by the mayor and a banner to the rafter.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Oh, you know, Bass is going to show up and
everybody's gonna wear the Bass Pro Shop hats and their
billy bigmouth Bass and Mayor Bass is going to celebrate
her dasts, her knee. Everybody's gonna get a shaved their head.
You're not gonna know why if it's because of the election,
It's just because you love Mayor Bass and a mayor
buzz Cut is gonna have her niche Championship of Record,
(03:12):
the n season tournament of the NBA. Keep it going,
Clippers pick up where the Lakers left off.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I love it. Nobody celebrates the NBA Cup like Mayor Bess.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Nobody nobody. It's time for the uh yeah three fun fact.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
There is a term for the opposite of ambidextrous. It
is amba sinister, and it means you are equally bad
with both hands. Uh. The etymology of sinister is from
Latin meaning left, hence amb sinister basically means you have
(03:49):
two left hands. A real slap in the face to
the lefties out there.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
And Eugene Levy from two left feet show. It's time
for quick hits, Toms, quick hits.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I'll make it.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Quick, y'all. Oh yeah, we start with college football today.
Matt Us he's four and five overall, two and five
and the Big Ten. They are not competing the way
people had hoped. They host Nebraska on Saturday at the
Coliseum and some sweet throwbacks.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Oh with fall homes with faux homes.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Awesome faux homes hype has dwindled considerably. Ucla knocked him
out of a game Rayola, But before that he just
started to play like a freshman, which maybe you shouldn't
have put all the weird mahomes back to back photos
and things of that nature.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Anyway, I think the mahomes thing would like would be
great for like the best quarterback in Division two that
looks like him, right, like, hey, this is kind of cool.
He's got D two, he's faux Homes. Let's get it. Whatever.
The Gorillas of Pittsburgh state this guy's awesome number on.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
The real Mahomes connection is with the people at Texas Tech,
and most of them are still there or in some
way or not, like their offensive coordinator Zach Kittley and
all that. If you want to wash Mahomes balls, you're
gonna have to go to the airport and get into
the air raid. The Trojans are nine and a half
point favorites against faux Homes, and Jade Mayava, who is
(05:26):
the anti pillow Farner, is taking over at cornerback young
man from Hawaii and Liberty High School in Las Vegas.
UCLA is four and five, three and four into Big
ten and who would know that they are surging there
in Seattle tomorrow night and they want to catch They
want to catch the fish and eat it. The Bruins
(05:49):
are three and a half point underdogs on the roads.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Basically a pick them, man, they give you three just
for being on the road. You know, it's basically a
pick them.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Well. UCLA's won three in a row. They're more physical
and more dis scippline. Team Washington is not helpless. They
beat USC up there. And if you beat me and
I say something.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
About it, you say, you know, you might want to
be care Let's make sure you walk carefully, gingerly through
this story. It a week helped with Yeah, you don't
want to say.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Something, you gotta be bad. Kickoff is at six on
Am eleven fifty uh. UCLA has given athletic director Martin
Jarmon a three year contract extension. I don't know if
it's because that Sean Fosters. Yeah, Deshaun Foster's won a
couple of games, and there you got through twenty twenty nine.
He took over in July twenty twenty, inherited an athletic
(06:39):
department in debt and losing its deal with under Armour.
He signed a deal with the jumpman Matt That's saved.
That saved Pittsburgh right there? What yes? And then he
helped UCLA move to the Big Ten, where an influx
of cash has helped UCLA out of a huge financial whole.
That Trump. The Lakers are seven and four, Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Lebron, how about that with the triple double, his third
in a row, the fourth of the season. Cool, his
son chest bumping him, flexing out, the two of them
engaging while Brons in a warm up and Dad Bron,
almost forty years old, is out there dealing, man, I
mean freaking dealing on the court.

launching because he's got that prime that makes tens of
millions of dollars. That his new drink is called W

(09:53):
And she's like, I hope he loses and he can't
launch the W. It's like, can't we two?

time and appreciate you having me on.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Just to start out, what's the what's the off season like?
Being a free agent waiting for whatever's gonna happen. You've
been so classy and patient kind of handling this moment
in your career. How much do you still enjoy these
moments of uncertainty so to speak?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Yeah, this is my you know, my third year in
a row, going through it, fourth time in the last
five years, six years. So I've learned just to be
patient and know that You're gonna see a lot of things.
You're gonna hear a lot of things. There's gonna be
a lot of stuff on the old X floating around,
and most of it is hearsay from my experience, so
(12:57):
you know, there's gonna be a lot of rumors. It's fun.
It's all is exciting hearing that. You know there's teams
with interest, But the patience is the is the important part.
You can't get too excited too early when you start
hearing teams because a lot of times it just doesn't
doesn't pan out that way. So but no, I'm looking
(13:18):
forward to it and hopefully get back out for another season.
IT'SOWK great last year and I want to run it
back and try to make a playoff run.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
The old JTF. We love talking. Justin Turner Foundation, Justin
Turner Foundation dot com, Slash Golf Classic, it's much easier
just to visit Justin Turner Golf Classic dot com. It'll
take you where you need to go, how you can donate,
how you can participate. We've been out there, we've played
in it, We've been part of the post game bar, restaurant,
(13:49):
auction scene. It's always a blast. It's always a great event,
and we love that it's still here, justin you tie
yourself to a community. You still have it in southern California,
and it leads us to think, uh that while you
are still playing exceptional baseball and by no means is
the career coming to an end, that this is where
you're gonna make your home. Now you've been around the country,
as has any other spot tickled your fancy? Or is
(14:11):
it LA all the way? When it's time to call it? Uh?
In terms of playing baseball, Yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Know, I'm I'm from here, so LA will no matter
what happens, no matter where I go, I think LA
will always be considered my home. And everywhere I've gone
so far, you know, I've been three different places over
the last two seasons. Boston, Toronto. Our son was actually
born in Toronto, so he's a little dual chitizenship by
(14:37):
ginger kids. And in Seattle. They're all great in their
own ways. And you know, Court and I love getting out,
love exploring, love, you know, throwing ourselves into the cultures
of the different cities. So it's it's been kind of fun,
actually is as much as uh, you know, the the
settledness of being in one place for a long time.
(14:59):
Is is calming. Uh, the adventures have been fun for
us and we're enjoying it. So we'll see what happens.
But you did nail all of the websites, by the way,
money that was heavy, fantastic and just so just so
you guys know maybe you guys do know this. We
we've become accustomed to having Petro some money out on
(15:20):
the course and and broadcasting from out there, and we've
done a severe downgrade. And this year we're having Basset.
So Dodger Talk will be making its debut from from
Sherwood on Monday. But not obviously. I love Essay and
and we're happy to have him out there and have
(15:41):
the station out there. So do you appreciate all your
guys' support.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Next year we can negotiate, you know, Matt was hanging
out in the the wine cellar wine cellar at Surewood
earlier in the week for another tournament there. Because he's
a tony guy. You know, we can negotiate maybe a
couple of club sandwiches, Matt, Now, come out, bang it out,
love that.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Let's do it all right.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Here exactly next year, as long as Brad's making us
some sweet micheladas. Will be all good.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
You know, Brad will be driving that golf cart around
deliver exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I do want to ask, though, you mentioned your son Bo,
because he does have dual citizenship, any thought to as
you're raising him, you know, every now and then, And
by every now and then, I mean like every day
dressing him in the Canadian tuxedo. He's just liking denim
head to toe or the lumberjack look like he just
eats maple syrup like.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
All day all like a little mounting.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah, yeah, like exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Like a mounting.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
So one of the first stuffed animals I got him
was a little bear mounty in the in the outfit
and brought it, brought brought it to him, and one
of our dogs, Rigby, got it like within thirty seconds,
and we're like, no, that's not a dog toy, but
so we snatched it away from him. That's up on
the shelf. So he has a mounty already. If you
don't think that he already has the tux the Canadian
(17:00):
toxedos in his closet, you're crazy. And yeah, were trying
to figure out whether to put a baseball bat or
a hockey stick in his hands.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
So beautiful.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Not sure yet, you know, you brought a championship to
the city of Los Angeles. I remember that night. I
didn't see the fireworks. I heard they were prodigious this year,
but I remember that night. You know, the city was
locked down, but it looked like it was blanketed in fireworks,
and you guys were able to celebrate it in your
own way. I'm sure it wasn't the most easiest thing
(17:33):
to go through, but also what was it like to
see the Dodgers win that title this year and the
parade and kind of the city you love celebrate a
franchise that you've been a huge part of and a
great inspiration to all of us that cover it for
a long time.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah. I mean, obviously I've talked about, you know, my
nine years with the Dodgers and how much the organization
means to me, and I think, you know, one of
the things we talked about every time I've been on
your show was how important it was to, you know,
bring a championship to LA so the fans can get
their parade, and you know, we had that long drought,
and so I think I'm very excited and happy for
(18:11):
all the fans that they were able to get that
parade and they were able to go out there and
celebrate and see the guys go through there, And you know,
do I wish we could have had that in twenty twenty. Yeah,
I think all of us do. I think a lot
of the guys even talked about it who were part
of both teams. But I'm glad that. I'm glad the
city got to go out there and and enjoy one
(18:33):
of those because, you know, I don't know from experience
because I haven't done it, but they seem like that
it's a pretty good time. So yeah, happy, happy for them,
And like I said, hopefully I'm got a few more
years than me and and want to make a few
runs and get an opportunity to win a championship and
celebrate it, right, So I want to be a part
(18:55):
of one of those.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
The other thing justin I don't know if you saw it,
if you were watching closely or you know, the postgame celebration,
but that kind of struck me in the immediate aftermath,
like on the field when they're doing their interviews, Walker
Buehler said it, Blake Tryn and Set it like they
were pushing back, like, hey, all you twenty twenty people
(19:15):
that said that wasn't legit, stick it, this validates it.
We don't want to hear it anymore. You were on
that twenty twenty team, did you feel like, like, is
that something that was kind of accepted amongst all you
guys that like people were pushing back that that wasn't
a legitimate World Series? I mean, parade notwithstanding, but to
be crown champions. Did you feel like around baseball they
kind of pushed back on that.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yeah, I think there was. I think there was a
lot of hesitancy to congratulate, right because of the shortened
season and whatever. I think the point that all of
us were trying to make was it was probably the
hardest World Series to win out of any of them
so far, because it wasn't expanded tournament. The field was bigger,
(19:57):
and I think, as Dodger fans can all appreciate very much,
it doesn't matter how good you are in the season,
whether it's one hundred and sixty two game season or
a sixty game season, It's all about how you play
in the tournament. And that year, in the biggest tournament,
there's ever been in Major League Baseball history. The Dodgers
were the best team in the tournament. So that's the
(20:19):
way I defend it and explain it to people. They're
still going to be you know, the fan bases out
there that say that it doesn't count whatever shortened season.
But at the same time, if their teams had won
the World Series, they'd be celebrating in like a World
Series too. They just didn't win, So I think it's
just their sour grapes, and you know it is it
(20:40):
is validating that, you know, the guys won this year
and they say, hey, look like it didn't take us
waiting for another sixty game season to win a championship.
We can win a championship. So happy for the for
the organization and the Dodgers in the city and everyone involved.
You know they got obviously for the good team and
making the play I asked for whatever's been now eleven
(21:02):
straight years and having the opportunity to play in that
tournament is what's special.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
A lot of the players and Dave Roberts always mentioned
you and ken Lee as guys. From twenty twenty, finally
being able to celebrate you were mentioned a whole lot
the great Justin Turner, dear friend of ours, dear friend
of the city and the show. He's got the golf
tournament coming up, and we always appreciate him joining us.
You know, when you look back at pictures of yourself
in like with no beard and a Mets hat on
(21:30):
or a cal State Fullerton's hat on, and you know,
fast forwarding till now, you know, looking to play a
few more years and and continue to be great as
a pro baseball player, and the leadership you've shown on
these different teams and organizations. What do you wish you
knew back then? What would you tell that fresh faced
(21:50):
Justin Turner about what it's like playing a decade in
the Major league.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't I don't think I
had the you know, the sexy path or the path
that little kids right now are dreaming of. I don't
think they're you know, looking up my career and my
trajectory and saying, that's the guy I want my career
to follow, that's the path I want him to But
I also don't think I would change anything about it.
(22:17):
I think everything that happened to me, you know, getting traded,
getting non tendered, getting designated getting you know, everything that's
happened to me has led me to where I am
today and giving me this opportunity to play for so long,
hopefully going into my seventeen season next year, and I
wouldn't change a thing. And I think the best advice
to kids is just obviously work hard and enjoy the game,
(22:39):
but stay in the moment and don't don't look too
far ahead, and and try to get ahead of yourself.
Be in the moment, enjoy where you're at right now,
be the best you can be right now, and take
it one day at a time. And I think that's
kind of the way that I went about it. And
it's something that you know, I'm pretty proud.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Of last thing for you, justin and like people may
say it's blowing smoke, it's not. We talk to plenty
of players that are really good at what sport they play,
and they join us, and some of them become friends
of the show and join us regularly. We love you
because not only an exceptional player, but no athlete that
we have ever been around is given back to the
city of Los Angeles like you and your wife. Courtney
(23:19):
Petros mentioned it on the intro the COVID. I mean
not just feeding people, but buying the meals from businesses
that needed to sell meals in order to stay in business.
That sort of thing is next level through the Justin
Turner Foundation. So with that is the backdrop with the foundation,
Justin turnergolf Classic dot com going on on Monday. Get
all the details surrounding that. Share with us what the
(23:39):
foundation is up to and how it's going.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah, the Foundation is still going great, obviously. You know,
even though we're bouncing around different states, different parts of
the country, we're still based right right here out of
LA doing a lot of work with Children's Hospital of
Los Angeles, spending time in there with the kids and
the families who are you know, battling the end thinkable.
We're heavily involved, as Petros mentioned in the intro, with
(24:05):
the Dream Center. They have so many different programs and initiatives.
We have the Homeless Veteran program. It's got twenty five
beds in the men's floor and eighteen beds in the
women's home. We have the Justin and Courtney Turner Food
Bank over there that they're supplying food for up to
sixty different food banks and organizations around the city. Of
Los Angeles. We actually just got on a call with
(24:28):
them after you know, the hurricane went went through the
East coast and put together a big supply truck that
the La Dream Center sent out to the Dream Center
in Asheville, North Carolina to try to help them provide
relief to all the victims that you know, went had
to deal with that travesty and the wreckage in North
(24:48):
Carolina and whatever is left of their home. So, you know,
anything that pops up. I think one of the cool
things is we have the flexibility when there's areas of need,
we get opportunity to answer the call and help people
when they need it. So we love the support we
get from the city. We love the support we get
from you guys. Not only are we doing the golf
(25:11):
event on Monday, we also have a kickoff party on
Sunday and there's still tickets available to that and like
you said, you can go on justin Turnergolf Classic dot
com if you want to come out and join us
for that. We have poker games, the football games will beyond,
a nice little dinner and tons of auction items, so
all different ways of support, and we appreciate you guys
(25:33):
and We obviously appreciate Los Angeles and we'll continue to

the dead guy. Birthday of the day today.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Indeed, I do happy. He would have been two hundred
and fifty ninth to Robert Fulton. This is for you,
sometimes known as the Admiral of great sports talk.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
That's right, my very nautical man in my way.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yes, American engineer and inventor, widely credited with developing the
world's first commercially successful steamboat. He was born on a
farm in Pennsylvania. Very talented artist was young Bobby. He
moved to Philly. He made a nice living painting portraits
and landscapes. His father passed away, so he would send
cash home to support his mother. Continued to earn the
(27:31):
same living. Painting portraits landscapes made a bunch of money.
But because he was an exceptional artist, he would draw designs.
He was a tinkerer as well, and he would draw
designs of his mechanical inventions to be as early as
seventeen ninety three, even though steam powered ships had already
been worked on and tried, he proposed plans for a
(27:55):
steam powered vessel to both the US and British governments.
Signed a prototype the UK bit, but then they didn't
and so it gave him a bit of a reputation. Hey,
this guy, Robert Fulton, he's got a lot of big ideas.
So Paris sends word, Hey, we're into this, come our way.
Shows up in Paris. He studies French, he studies German
(28:16):
math chemistry. He designed while they're the first working muscle
powered submarine, the Nautilust between seventeen ninety three and seven.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
They're pretty sure that was Captain Nemo.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I think may have been an alias Captain Nemo. He
experimented with torpedoes. The first test his submarine operated underwater
for seventeen minutes and twenty five feet of water. Eighteen
oh seventy and his pal Robert Livingstone built the first
commercially successful steamboat, the North River Steamboat. While it was
being built, Bobby was a punchline. They called it Fulton's folly.
(28:49):
He would design the floating battery Demo Logos, the first
steam driven warship in the world, built for the US
Navy for the War of eighteen twelve. Personal life, prior
to his mayor marriage and eighteen o eight, he had
a variety of homosexual and polyamorous relationships.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Wow, way back then, huh.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
The most famous a manage Toois with noted philanthropist couple
Ruth and Joel Barlow.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Oh steam up your ass.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
While living in Paris with them for six years, Letters
were found between Joel and Bobby, Joel saying like, hey, man,
I want to see you work. My wife over, I
want to see it. She wants to feel it. He
married Harriet and proposed to force him with her Ruth
and Joel, and she was like no, no, man, what
what do you mean. They would have four children together
(29:40):
and he would end up dying in eighteen fifteen. From longer.
Speaker 1 (29:44):

That's claren question.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Row.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
A what that's a classic movie? A what that's a
Claren question?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Row What I've got death inside of me. It's just
a question of whether or not I can outlive it.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Going out Vic Petros and Monday AM five seventy LA Sports.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We are
your home for NFL football. We are your home of
the twenty twenty four World Series champion Dodgers. Tonight, No Dodgers,
you guessed it. NFL football, Thursday Night football coming up
in less than an hour, or actually right around an
(00:46):
hour between the Eagles and the Commanders. And our flex
Alert today started at too same schedule Tomorrow p two pm,
but only till four with an NBA Cup game between
the Clipper and the Rockets.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Did the Clippers win the last time we took the
night off for.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Them, No, they lost. They lost, not handily, but never
really felt like the game was in the balance. And
I think like a lot of football, you know, as
a football man, pee, you know a lot of times
when you're gonna face someone a second time or maybe
in the playoffs particularly, don't want to show your hand,
(01:26):
you know, you want to save some stuff for that
potential playoff matchup. And I think that's what the Clippers
were doing for the NBA Cup tonight, Like, you know what, guys,
let's just play this one Vanilla and then see they're
really going to pull out some crazy s on the
Rockets in the NBA Cup on Friday.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I am not the football or basketball man that you are, Matt,
but I will. I don't see the connection. I just
don't see. I mean, don't you play to win the game?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Like herm says, the NBA Cup will afford you a
banner that many can gaze upon in your rafters, and
why not sacrifice so Wednesday night, one of eighty two
over the course of the twenty four to twenty five
campaign in order to notch that first victory. Now that's
a good point, and that first step toward that NBA
Cup banner come tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Because the Clipper's got nothing up there, nothing, not even
a retired number.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I mean, it's like the stadium you were just in
the big House in Michigan. It's a naked lady.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Naked is the day you were born.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
There's nothing up there. Nobody to honor Elton brand Corey
mcgetty nothing.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
How about freaking loy Vought. Huh? How about it that
gotn't sacrifice enough on the court for you, Clippers, Bo Kimball, right,
nothing nothing, Mike Dunleavy.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
So you win an in bill, bitch, you win one
of those bootleg NBA in seasons. You know, Matt, you might.
That's an illuminating point, Matt. You're really on a roll.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Today, acknowledged by the mayor and a banner to the rafter.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Oh, you know, Bass is going to show up and
everybody's gonna wear the Bass Pro Shop hats and their
billy bigmouth Bass and Mayor Bass is going to celebrate
her dasts, her knee. Everybody's gonna get a shaved their head.
You're not gonna know why if it's because of the election,
It's just because you love Mayor Bass and a mayor
buzz Cut is gonna have her niche Championship of Record,
(03:12):
the n season tournament of the NBA. Keep it going,
Clippers pick up where the Lakers left off.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I love it. Nobody celebrates the NBA Cup like Mayor Bess.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Nobody nobody. It's time for the uh yeah three fun fact.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
There is a term for the opposite of ambidextrous. It
is amba sinister, and it means you are equally bad
with both hands. Uh. The etymology of sinister is from
Latin meaning left, hence amb sinister basically means you have
(03:49):
two left hands. A real slap in the face to
the lefties out there.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
And Eugene Levy from two left feet show. It's time
for quick hits, Toms, quick hits.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I'll make it.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Quick, y'all. Oh yeah, we start with college football today.
Matt Us he's four and five overall, two and five
and the Big Ten. They are not competing the way
people had hoped. They host Nebraska on Saturday at the
Coliseum and some sweet throwbacks.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Oh with fall homes with faux homes.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Awesome faux homes hype has dwindled considerably. Ucla knocked him
out of a game Rayola, But before that he just
started to play like a freshman, which maybe you shouldn't
have put all the weird mahomes back to back photos
and things of that nature.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Anyway, I think the mahomes thing would like would be
great for like the best quarterback in Division two that
looks like him, right, like, hey, this is kind of cool.
He's got D two, he's faux Homes. Let's get it. Whatever.
The Gorillas of Pittsburgh state this guy's awesome number on.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
The real Mahomes connection is with the people at Texas Tech,
and most of them are still there or in some
way or not, like their offensive coordinator Zach Kittley and
all that. If you want to wash Mahomes balls, you're
gonna have to go to the airport and get into
the air raid. The Trojans are nine and a half
point favorites against faux Homes, and Jade Mayava, who is
(05:26):
the anti pillow Farner, is taking over at cornerback young
man from Hawaii and Liberty High School in Las Vegas.
UCLA is four and five, three and four into Big
ten and who would know that they are surging there
in Seattle tomorrow night and they want to catch They
want to catch the fish and eat it. The Bruins
(05:49):
are three and a half point underdogs on the roads.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Basically a pick them, man, they give you three just
for being on the road. You know, it's basically a
pick them.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Well. UCLA's won three in a row. They're more physical
and more dis scippline. Team Washington is not helpless. They
beat USC up there. And if you beat me and
I say something.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
About it, you say, you know, you might want to
be care Let's make sure you walk carefully, gingerly through
this story. It a week helped with Yeah, you don't
want to say.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Something, you gotta be bad. Kickoff is at six on
Am eleven fifty uh. UCLA has given athletic director Martin
Jarmon a three year contract extension. I don't know if
it's because that Sean Fosters. Yeah, Deshaun Foster's won a
couple of games, and there you got through twenty twenty nine.
He took over in July twenty twenty, inherited an athletic
(06:39):
department in debt and losing its deal with under Armour.
He signed a deal with the jumpman Matt That's saved.
That saved Pittsburgh right there? What yes? And then he
helped UCLA move to the Big Ten, where an influx
of cash has helped UCLA out of a huge financial whole.
That Trump. The Lakers are seven and four, Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Lebron, how about that with the triple double, his third
in a row, the fourth of the season. Cool, his
son chest bumping him, flexing out, the two of them

almost forty years old, is out there dealing, man, I
mean freaking dealing on the court.

Being a free agent waiting for whatever's gonna happen. You've
been so classy and patient kind of handling this moment
in your career. How much do you still enjoy these
moments of uncertainty so to speak?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Yeah, this is my you know, my third year in
a row, going through it, fourth time in the last
five years, six years. So I've learned just to be
patient and know that You're gonna see a lot of things.
You're gonna hear a lot of things. There's gonna be
a lot of stuff on the old X floating around,
and most of it is hearsay from my experience, so
(12:57):
you know, there's gonna be a lot of rumors. It's fun.
It's all is exciting hearing that. You know there's teams
with interest, But the patience is the is the important part.
You can't get too excited too early when you start
hearing teams because a lot of times it just doesn't
doesn't pan out that way. So but no, I'm looking
(13:18):
forward to it and hopefully get back out for another season.

auction scene. It's always a blast. It's always a great event,
and we love that it's still here, justin you tie
yourself to a community. You still have it in southern California,
and it leads us to think, uh that while you
are still playing exceptional baseball and by no means is
the career coming to an end, that this is where
you're gonna make your home. Now you've been around the country,
as has any other spot tickled your fancy? Or is

it LA all the way? When it's time to call it? Uh?
In terms of playing baseball, Yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Know, I'm I'm from here, so LA will no matter
what happens, no matter where I go, I think LA
will always be considered my home. And everywhere I've gone
so far, you know, I've been three different places over
the last two seasons. Boston, Toronto. Our son was actually
born in Toronto, so he's a little dual chitizenship by
(14:37):
ginger kids. And in Seattle. They're all great in their
own ways. And you know, Court and I love getting out,
love exploring, love, you know, throwing ourselves into the cultures
of the different cities. So it's it's been kind of fun,
actually is as much as uh, you know, the the
settledness of being in one place for a long time.
(14:59):
Is is calming. Uh, the adventures have been fun for
us and we're enjoying it. So we'll see what happens.
But you did nail all of the websites, by the way,
money that was heavy, fantastic and just so just so
you guys know maybe you guys do know this. We
we've become accustomed to having Petro some money out on
(15:20):
the course and and broadcasting from out there, and we've
done a severe downgrade. And this year we're having Basset.
So Dodger Talk will be making its debut from from
Sherwood on Monday. But not obviously. I love Essay and
and we're happy to have him out there and have
(15:41):
the station out there. So do you appreciate all your
guys' support.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Next year we can negotiate, you know, Matt was hanging
out in the the wine cellar wine cellar at Surewood
earlier in the week for another tournament there. Because he's
a tony guy. You know, we can negotiate maybe a
couple of club sandwiches, Matt, Now, come out, bang it out,
love that.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Let's do it all right.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Here exactly next year, as long as Brad's making us
some sweet micheladas. Will be all good.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
You know, Brad will be driving that golf cart around
deliver exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I do want to ask, though, you mentioned your son Bo,
because he does have dual citizenship, any thought to as
you're raising him, you know, every now and then, And
by every now and then, I mean like every day
dressing him in the Canadian tuxedo. He's just liking denim
head to toe or the lumberjack look like he just
eats maple syrup like.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
All day all like a little mounting.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah, yeah, like exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Like a mounting.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
So one of the first stuffed animals I got him
was a little bear mounty in the in the outfit
and brought it, brought brought it to him, and one
of our dogs, Rigby, got it like within thirty seconds,
and we're like, no, that's not a dog toy, but
so we snatched it away from him. That's up on
the shelf. So he has a mounty already. If you
don't think that he already has the tux the Canadian
(17:00):
toxedos in his closet, you're crazy. And yeah, were trying
to figure out whether to put a baseball bat or
a hockey stick in his hands.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
So beautiful.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Not sure yet, you know, you brought a championship to
the city of Los Angeles. I remember that night. I
didn't see the fireworks. I heard they were prodigious this year,
but I remember that night. You know, the city was
locked down, but it looked like it was blanketed in fireworks,
and you guys were able to celebrate it in your
own way. I'm sure it wasn't the most easiest thing
(17:33):
to go through, but also what was it like to
see the Dodgers win that title this year and the
parade and kind of the city you love celebrate a
franchise that you've been a huge part of and a
great inspiration to all of us that cover it for
a long time.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah. I mean, obviously I've talked about, you know, my
nine years with the Dodgers and how much the organization
means to me, and I think, you know, one of
the things we talked about every time I've been on
your show was how important it was to, you know,
bring a championship to LA so the fans can get
their parade, and you know, we had that long drought,
and so I think I'm very excited and happy for
(18:11):
all the fans that they were able to get that
parade and they were able to go out there and
celebrate and see the guys go through there, And you know,
do I wish we could have had that in twenty twenty. Yeah,
I think all of us do. I think a lot
of the guys even talked about it who were part
of both teams. But I'm glad that. I'm glad the
city got to go out there and and enjoy one
(18:33):
of those because, you know, I don't know from experience
because I haven't done it, but they seem like that
it's a pretty good time. So yeah, happy, happy for them,
And like I said, hopefully I'm got a few more
years than me and and want to make a few
runs and get an opportunity to win a championship and
celebrate it, right, So I want to be a part
(18:55):
of one of those.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
The other thing justin I don't know if you saw it,
if you were watching closely or you know, the postgame celebration,
but that kind of struck me in the immediate aftermath,
like on the field when they're doing their interviews, Walker
Buehler said it, Blake Tryn and Set it like they
were pushing back, like, hey, all you twenty twenty people
(19:15):
that said that wasn't legit, stick it, this validates it.
We don't want to hear it anymore. You were on
that twenty twenty team, did you feel like, like, is
that something that was kind of accepted amongst all you
guys that like people were pushing back that that wasn't
a legitimate World Series? I mean, parade notwithstanding, but to
be crown champions. Did you feel like around baseball they
kind of pushed back on that.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yeah, I think there was. I think there was a
lot of hesitancy to congratulate, right because of the shortened
season and whatever. I think the point that all of
us were trying to make was it was probably the
hardest World Series to win out of any of them
so far, because it wasn't expanded tournament. The field was bigger,
(19:57):
and I think, as Dodger fans can all appreciate very much,
it doesn't matter how good you are in the season,
whether it's one hundred and sixty two game season or
a sixty game season, It's all about how you play
in the tournament. And that year, in the biggest tournament,
there's ever been in Major League Baseball history. The Dodgers
were the best team in the tournament. So that's the
(20:19):
way I defend it and explain it to people. They're
still going to be you know, the fan bases out
there that say that it doesn't count whatever shortened season.
But at the same time, if their teams had won
the World Series, they'd be celebrating in like a World
Series too. They just didn't win, So I think it's
just their sour grapes, and you know it is it
(20:40):
is validating that, you know, the guys won this year
and they say, hey, look like it didn't take us
waiting for another sixty game season to win a championship.
We can win a championship. So happy for the for
the organization and the Dodgers in the city and everyone involved.
You know they got obviously for the good team and
making the play I asked for whatever's been now eleven
(21:02):
straight years and having the opportunity to play in that
tournament is what's special.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
A lot of the players and Dave Roberts always mentioned
you and ken Lee as guys. From twenty twenty, finally
being able to celebrate you were mentioned a whole lot
the great Justin Turner, dear friend of ours, dear friend
of the city and the show. He's got the golf
tournament coming up, and we always appreciate him joining us.
You know, when you look back at pictures of yourself
in like with no beard and a Mets hat on
(21:30):
or a cal State Fullerton's hat on, and you know,
fast forwarding till now, you know, looking to play a
few more years and and continue to be great as
a pro baseball player, and the leadership you've shown on
these different teams and organizations. What do you wish you
knew back then? What would you tell that fresh faced
(21:50):
Justin Turner about what it's like playing a decade in
the Major league.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't I don't think I
had the you know, the sexy path or the path
that little kids right now are dreaming of. I don't
think they're you know, looking up my career and my
trajectory and saying, that's the guy I want my career
to follow, that's the path I want him to But
I also don't think I would change anything about it.
(22:17):
I think everything that happened to me, you know, getting traded,
getting non tendered, getting designated getting you know, everything that's
happened to me has led me to where I am
today and giving me this opportunity to play for so long,
hopefully going into my seventeen season next year, and I
wouldn't change a thing. And I think the best advice
to kids is just obviously work hard and enjoy the game,
(22:39):
but stay in the moment and don't don't look too
far ahead, and and try to get ahead of yourself.
Be in the moment, enjoy where you're at right now,
be the best you can be right now, and take
it one day at a time. And I think that's
kind of the way that I went about it. And
it's something that you know, I'm pretty proud.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Of last thing for you, justin and like people may
say it's blowing smoke, it's not. We talk to plenty
of players that are really good at what sport they play,
and they join us, and some of them become friends
of the show and join us regularly. We love you
because not only an exceptional player, but no athlete that
we have ever been around is given back to the
city of Los Angeles like you and your wife. Courtney
(23:19):
Petros mentioned it on the intro the COVID. I mean
not just feeding people, but buying the meals from businesses
that needed to sell meals in order to stay in business.
That sort of thing is next level through the Justin
Turner Foundation. So with that is the backdrop with the foundation,
Justin turnergolf Classic dot com going on on Monday. Get
all the details surrounding that. Share with us what the
(23:39):
foundation is up to and how it's going.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah, the Foundation is still going great, obviously. You know,
even though we're bouncing around different states, different parts of
the country, we're still based right right here out of
LA doing a lot of work with Children's Hospital of
Los Angeles, spending time in there with the kids and
the families who are you know, battling the end thinkable.
We're heavily involved, as Petros mentioned in the intro, with
(24:05):
the Dream Center. They have so many different programs and initiatives.
We have the Homeless Veteran program. It's got twenty five
beds in the men's floor and eighteen beds in the
women's home. We have the Justin and Courtney Turner Food
Bank over there that they're supplying food for up to
sixty different food banks and organizations around the city. Of
Los Angeles. We actually just got on a call with
(24:28):
them after you know, the hurricane went went through the
East coast and put together a big supply truck that
the La Dream Center sent out to the Dream Center
in Asheville, North Carolina to try to help them provide
relief to all the victims that you know, went had
to deal with that travesty and the wreckage in North
(24:48):
Carolina and whatever is left of their home. So, you know,
anything that pops up. I think one of the cool
things is we have the flexibility when there's areas of need,
we get opportunity to answer the call and help people
when they need it. So we love the support we
get from the city. We love the support we get
from you guys. Not only are we doing the golf
(25:11):
event on Monday, we also have a kickoff party on
Sunday and there's still tickets available to that and like
you said, you can go on justin Turnergolf Classic dot
com if you want to come out and join us

(26:52):
podcasting the show on the iHeartRadio app. Matt, you got
the dead guy. Birthday of the day today.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Indeed, I do happy. He would have been two hundred
and fifty ninth to Robert Fulton. This is for you,
sometimes known as the Admiral of great sports talk.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
That's right, my very nautical man in my way.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yes, American engineer and inventor, widely credited with developing the
world's first commercially successful steamboat. He was born on a
farm in Pennsylvania. Very talented artist was young Bobby. He
moved to Philly. He made a nice living painting portraits
and landscapes. His father passed away, so he would send
cash home to support his mother. Continued to earn the
(27:31):
same living. Painting portraits landscapes made a bunch of money.
But because he was an exceptional artist, he would draw designs.
He was a tinkerer as well, and he would draw
designs of his mechanical inventions to be as early as
seventeen ninety three, even though steam powered ships had already
been worked on and tried, he proposed plans for a
(27:55):
steam powered vessel to both the US and British governments.
Signed a prototype the UK bit, but then they didn't
and so it gave him a bit of a reputation. Hey,
this guy, Robert Fulton, he's got a lot of big ideas.
So Paris sends word, Hey, we're into this, come our way.
Shows up in Paris. He studies French, he studies German
(28:16):
math chemistry. He designed while they're the first working muscle
powered submarine, the Nautilust between seventeen ninety three and seven.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
They're pretty sure that was Captain Nemo.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I think may have been an alias Captain Nemo. He
experimented with torpedoes. The first test his submarine operated underwater
for seventeen minutes and twenty five feet of water. Eighteen
oh seventy and his pal Robert Livingstone built the first
commercially successful steamboat, the North River Steamboat. While it was
being built, Bobby was a punchline. They called it Fulton's folly.
(28:49):
He would design the floating battery Demo Logos, the first
steam driven warship in the world, built for the US
Navy for the War of eighteen twelve. Personal life, prior
to his mayor marriage and eighteen o eight, he had
a variety of homosexual and polyamorous relationships.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Wow, way back then, huh.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
The most famous a manage Toois with noted philanthropist couple
Ruth and Joel Barlow.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Oh steam up your ass.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
While living in Paris with them for six years, Letters
were found between Joel and Bobby, Joel saying like, hey, man,
I want to see you work. My wife over, I
want to see it. She wants to feel it. He
married Harriet and proposed to force him with her Ruth
and Joel, and she was like no, no, man, what
what do you mean. They would have four children together
(29:40):
and he would end up dying in eighteen fifteen. From longer.
