    Dodgers Depth, World Cup Fever & the Magic of Sports

    This week on Talk Dodgers to Me, we’re celebrating what makes this Dodgers team so special: everyone is ready when their moment arrives.From stars to role players, this team has embraced a “next man up” mentality, and we had to show some love to players like Justin Wrobleski and Max Muncy, who continue to step up and understand exactly what their role is in helping this team win. We also talk about how the Dodgers’ biggest stars consistently make it about the team, not themselves—and that’s exactly why they deserve some extra love from us. But as always, it’s about more than baseball. From the Dodgers depth to World Cup fever and the excitement surrounding the NBA Finals, we’re reminded of the magic of sports and the way they bring people together. Whether it’s Dodger Stadium, New York, or cities around the world, there’s something special about sharing these moments and feeling connected through the games we love.

    More than a Game: How Two Women Turned Game Night Into a Brand

    This week, we sit down with best friends Laura Galvan and Marnie Wekselblatt, who turned their love of Rummikub into a thriving, community-driven brand that's bringing people together in a fresh, elevated way. As someone who grew up playing Rummikub with my Nana, this conversation felt especially meaningful. From the moment I discovered what they were building, I knew we had to have them on the podcast. What started as a conversation about a game quickly became a conversation about friendship, entrepreneurship, taking chances, and finding purpose through the things that bring people joy. While it may seem like a departure from baseball, we quickly realized it's actually the same story we tell every week: sports and games have a unique way of creating connection. Whether it's gathering around a card table, a Rummikub board, or a baseball diamond, the real magic happens when people come together. From entrepreneurship and brand-building to partnerships and community, we explore how Laura and Marnie transformed their love of Rummikub into a must-attend event series with a growing waitlist and a loyal following. Their story is proof that when you create spaces for people to connect, something much bigger than the game can happen. Make sure to give them a follow, grab your own Rummikub set, and stay tuned for future events!

From his dominance pitching and hitting to the impact he has on the game, we're running out of words to describe what we're witnessing. We're also diving into the story behind Andy Pages and the journey that brought him to the big leagues, proving once again that every player has a story worth telling. Beyond the game itself, we reflect on an inspiring week at Dodger Stadium surrounded by incredible women in sports. From the Blue Heaven & Bourbon event hosted by the Dodgers Foundation, to the Women in Sports Conference, we connected with trailblazers across the entertainment and sports industry. Again, we're reminded how many different paths exist within the sports world and why representation matters.
