Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And an exclusive interview with David Bassey for Dodger Talker.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Everybody wants a piece of Max Monsey these days, you
don't know what you have until it's gone, and thankfully
Max Monsey is back. You've been through a few of these, Max,
How special is this one?

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah? I don't know. This one kind of means a lot.
This has been a tough year. We've we've gone through
a lot and then, you know, not that long ago,
Kursh announced it's gonna be his last one, and so
this one feels a little bit sweeter. And you know,
I've been through a lot of these, but this one
feels really special.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
When you look at this group. You guys took everybody's
best shot and here you are at the top again.
What does it say about the adversity you felt personally
this year and the group belt? Yeah, I mean, you know, when.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
You're the defending champions, and we saw we saw this
in twenty one. When you're the defending champions, everyone wants
to knock you off the horse. And you know, and
that's not saying that we're special, but it's just, you know,
that's the reality of it. And we definitely got everyone's
best shot this year and it was not easy. It
was very challenging, but we found a way to overcome
a lot. We still have a long way to go,

(01:10):
but you know, throughout the course of the season, there's
very few moments where you get a chance like this
to celebrate your accomplishments. And this is one of those
nights where it's like, hey, this is all about what
we've done. Usually we try to focus on what we're
doing today and moving forward, but tonight it's one of
those nights where you think about what you've.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Done when you look ahead. Though to October, the message
from your manager was not to lose the edge. Do
you feel like playing next Tuesday will help this team
keep going and continuing to play well?

Speaker 1 (01:41):
You know, I don't know. We haven't been in that
since they've created the new format, playoff format, we haven't
been in this situation. So I don't know how to
answer that question. We have a very tough series coming
up against the Mariners. They're a very good team, they
got a very good pitching, and then we got to
go right into the wild card and so you know,
for us, you're kind of staying right in the fire,
and sometimes there's an advantage to doing that. You know,

(02:02):
you're you're not you're not kind of relaxing. You're not
you know, as Doc says, you're not losing your edge
and so, you know, we'll see how it turns out,
but it's, uh, it's something that we haven't dealt with.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
I like that you're not wearing goggles, Monsie. That's very kershaw.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Esque goggles for the week.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Oh, I love it. NEX Monthly is nothing but strong
