Speaker 1 (01:06):
What did you do yesterday?

Speaker 3 (01:07):
What did you see yesterday?

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yeah, celebration. First off, my report time was like seven am,
but I got there at six thirty am.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Okay, by five.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
I was up by five, so and like I didn't
get home till eight o'clock.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah, you had like a full full day.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Yeah, I had like a full day. But like, my
purpose there was to go talk to fans, interview fans
for Dodger Vision, which are the boards that you see
that actually has a name. I don't think a lot
of people know that. They just call it like the
Jumpbutron or the big screens. It's actually called Dodger Vision,
and some people know that, but not a lot of people.

(01:42):
Not a lot of people know that.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
First time I'm hearing about that.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah, so but yeah, I was interviewing fans, talking to
them about me specifically. My camera hits were about the
eighteenth inning game and Game seven, where they were a
lot of I talked to this Filipino Filipino mom and
daughter and I I guess I had actually met them
before and so on Filipino Heritage and night. They were
really sweet, they were really awesome. I got to interview

(02:06):
Taboo Edward James almost and Robert Argas, who's an artist
who you've seen his work. He did the Fernando murals,
those play Fernando murals, and he has a Fernando mural
inside the stadium as well. Edward James almost is very
much he's gonna speak his mind. I really appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
You know.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
He was just talking about the displacement of you know,
Chicano families and in order to build Dodger Stadium, and
went that deep and he said that, you know, and
there's nothing absolutely wrong with it. I wasn't gonna take
the microwave from him because I mean, honestly, yeah, I
understand and I share those sentiments as well. But he
was then goes on to say, like, you know, if

(02:46):
Latinos belong in Dodger Stadium, and he said that if
it wasn't for fun, for for Fernando Valenzuela, Latinos wouldn't
even be Dodger fans.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
And he gives a lot of credit to the Fernando
Valenzuela family for you know, bring bridge bridging that gap
between the Latino community and the Dodgers organization. Yeah, Boo
talked about you know, his We Love We Love l
a remix of East La, and how he got Fernando's
daughter to be a part of it. He got Natalia

(03:17):
Bryant to be a part of it. He calls him.
He calls Natalia Bryant his little sister, which I think
is really really cool. Yeah, and just how that connection
came out to be. It was really cool and taboo. Man,
he's such an amazing guy. Because one he remembers my name.
I don't really like expect a lot or any artists
to really remember my name, but he remembered my name.

(03:39):
He's like, hey, how's your husband, Nico, And I'm just
and he's like husband right, And I'm like, damn near yeah,
like eight months away. But he was just like, man,
he's killing it. He really gave a lot of credit
to to all of us for playing uh East La.
He's like, thank you guys. He goes, I listened to
the show. I really appreciate you guys playing the song,
playing the music. It was a really great day. Everyone

(04:02):
was happy to be there. Mustard was the special guest performance.
Killed it right, Yeah, killed it. Honestly. It made me
so happy to hear club music in the stadium. The
first song he did, Oh my god, I can't remember,
but he let like the I think he let the
N word were flying chirst for flying and he was

(04:23):
I think he was told like, hey keep it clean.
But I think he only had dirty version.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
He's not a radio DJ, right, so he's got club
joints and they're dirty.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I mean he has the original version.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
But it was really dope to see that Ice Cube
made another appearance.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
He came out, is like a part of the Dodgers.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, yeah he is. He really did.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
He was part of it last year to Yeah, he's
just like Cube is just you know sononymous.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Rob did not work on him this year.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
He hid him back that thing up on Cube. You
had to meet Dave Roberts.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Right, I got to meet Dave Roberts. I felt like
I was taking a picture with my dad. No, I
didn't tell him, but got to take a picture of
me with Miguel Rojas.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
He's out.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
He may come back next year. People are saying hopefully.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
I think there was like something after they want where
he was like saying to one of the coaching stuff
like hey we need to talk, but that's a later
conversation or something. Like that, yeah, and then got to
take a picture with Tyler Glass now as well. He
was super nice. He and Miguel Rojas were giving us
a lot of credit. And Steven Nelson, who calls the

(05:36):
shots on on on the games, he like, they both
gave us a lot of credit about like the in
stadium hosts and how what we actually do. They're like, hey, like,
you know, we really appreciate you guys always hyping up
the crowd and what you guys do. And that was
really nice to be recognized by players and staff. And
Tyler even said he's like, yeah, when I'm not pitching

(05:58):
and on board in the dugout, I just be like
looking at you guys. And then I told him, I
was like, oh, so you're playing trivia with us, and
He's just like yeah, I'm like okay, cool. So that
was really cool. It was just overall like it was
one of those surreal moments to like actually experience and
be like, oh my god, I'm here and I'm a
part of this in some kind of way.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
Grown up as a kid, you know, being a Dodger
fans since birth, right playing softball and wanting to you know,
be part of the Dodgers. I think you told us
once that you wanted to be the first female professional
Dodger players.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Yeah. I knew that wasn't going to happen, but uh,
I do want to put this out there that and
make it known that no matter, if I get the
opportunity to get a ring this year, yeah, I am
going to get the most expensive ring, are you? I
am going to get them the expensive ring. It's about
maybe five six bands. Okay, but it's a back to

(06:53):
back ring. This is never probably going to happen in
my lifetime.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Okay. Have you had this conversation with Niko? Is this
the first time? The first time? Oh, hey, welcome to
the conversation.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
You know what, I hear more Pokemon cards from.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Miami, So yeah, I give him the like honestly, unless
he wants his last name on the ring, then he
can pay for half of it. Oh, you can think
about the legacy of our kids.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Now we're talking, that's way we split it. Anything happens
and now we're talking no, But honestly.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Is that gonna be the one that opens up and
everything like that guy had at the restaurant?

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yeah, so yeah, that one is gonna be it probably
will be. It depends on what the what the design is.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, And I would also say because I know.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
They're going to pull something like cool for like the
back to bat and say cute but cool.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
And I will also say, even though this is the
first time that I'm hearing about this, yeah, you this
is the first time you guys known about it too, Cruise,
I'm actually one hundred percent okay with that. Yeahah, I'm
one hundred percent okay with it because I understand.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Plus this would be after the wedding.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
This actually will be before.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
But you know, fund a looking ones looking cool Okay,
So like, but you know, understanding Jackie's legacy with the Dodgers,
like you know, the legacy that the Dodgers have built
for themselves as well. Like it's one of those situations
where it's like, you know what this it makes a
lot of sense.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Yeah, Jack's more than a fan, right, She's also an
employee there. Yeah, yeah, and it's it's it's different, you know. Yeah,
Jackie's trying to hype up the crowd when the team
isn't doing well, which is a tough gig.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, all right, as her voice for like two three
weeks straight, it's.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
A lot of time, a lot of time, spend a
lot of energy.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah, you know, shit, I hope so that's right. Hopefully
that's that's it. When we get the opportunity to yeah,
we might. We normally don't. Last year, we didn't actually
have the opportunity to purchase it until like someone of
a like a more higher up position was making a
case for us to buy it, and they said, Okay.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Sure, maybe that'll become the norm.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Maybe hopefully. There's a lot of people that I think
within the organization who deserve the opportunity to even try.
I ain't get a ring and they don't, and I
think that being behind the scenes, I've seen that and
I hope that they do.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Is there any celebrity fans that deserve to buy that ring?

Speaker 4 (09:12):
I would say Jason Bateman, Yeah, Jason Bateman, Rob Low,
They're they're always there, they're always supporting. Yeah, there's a
there's a Bryant, maybe Vanessa Bryant. Brian Cranston is always
there too. So there's like a handful of like celebrities
that are always there and that actually like like the team.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
So yeah, they're not there for the cloud.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
No, Yeah, the Anthony Anderson. But I think I think
for the organization, they kind of probably give some rings.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Out Mary Heart legendary legend.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
So are we pulling up to the replica ring night
or what?

Speaker 1 (09:50):
What are we doing? What is that ring?

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah, it's a giveaway night. I'm not sure when it is.
No idea, no idea what the ring looks like. I
don't know that.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
It's a pretty this one, this one was I think more
special than all the other ones, just because it was
so difficult to get. Yeah, because Jays honestly played a
lot better than us.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, they they had it, bro, they had it.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
I mean there's so many times that they could have
won it out right. So, I mean the fact that
the Dodgers clawed back is so amazing and it was
so much sweeter than all the other ones. You know,
last year it was five games, you know, there wasn't
the stress of six and seven and being eliminated, Like
they really really just figured it out, man, And it's
pretty that's pretty crazy.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Man, now, could I ask you guys? So twenty twenty,
obviously there was the win over there that last year
was hard to Oh yeah, I mean.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
You know, no fans, Yeah, there was, but it was
on the road. We won in Texas.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yeah, so twenty twenty, there's a win there. Last year
was obvious win, This year obvious win. Is that a
dynasty or a start of a dynasty?

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
You gotta remember they in that whole span too, they
lost to World Series.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeahs to Yeah, it's.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Boston cheating Astro.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah, and and cheating Boston too, and cheating right, both
of them. I mean, so they've been to five World
Series in like eight or nine years.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Yeah, and two of the two of those were the
other team was cheating.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, so it's like, yeah, for sure, I mean yeah,
because I mean in the nineties it was the Braves, right,
but they went to World Series, but they only won one,
and the Dodgers have won three.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
How many do you think we have left in this decade?

Speaker 3 (11:28):
I think they could get two more with this team. Yeah,
I think two more is reasonable.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Your dad was saying if they win two to three,
at least two more within the twenty twenties.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
It's solidified as a.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Yeah, I mean they got they got yeah four more
years technically, so yeah, they'll be fun.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
They can do that.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Thank you for all the insight. Jackie. Yea cruise, but
we gotta go because then the Nico's gotta jump. But
like yesterday, dude, I got a call from your wife twice,
but every time I answered, nobody was there. I think
the kids were calling me, Bro, probably on her phone.
No one ever spoke.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
And then that means Joe like, yeah, I got a
carson my wife's phone. That means he has her phone, Hello, Hello, hello,
and nothing.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
And it was like two or three times that they called,
I think maybe twice, and I was.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
All hello, hello, hello.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
And saying stuff to the kids.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, hell yeah. It's got to be
the kids.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
And I was just laughing myself, Bro, and I'm like,
I gotta bring it.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
Let's get a call from Diana, right, and I'm like hello, hello, Yo,
I'm hitting numbers, Hello, Hello, nothing right, And then I
hear call Jesse.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
I'm already on the phone. Hello, oh hi, Sorry, the
kids must have called you. I'm like, what's going on?
