the word of the day. With his words, the word
of the day, you know, I mean I like to

(02:25):
pick and choose my national story. Stay's word of the
day is keep climbing, Keep climbing. That's it sounds like
a motivational slogan, Matt, I like to pick and choose
our national stories when it comes to college football, just
like you do with pros. Usually it's to attack Aaron

(02:47):
Rodgers or Derek Carr their football play and character.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
He did play one of the worst games of the
season by any quarterback in the NFL on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
See there you go.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
You open the door on my walk.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
I mean my my my choices are more regional in nature.
Our interest in West Virginia is multifold. I am from
there and I won't accept your lies about my past.
And more importantly than even my Appalachian heritage, you really gosh,
I could still feel the winter wind in my family.

(03:21):
Holler math, close my eyes. But more importantly than my
very deep heritage in the minds is Trent McClain is
committed to the Mountaineers and Darren Devrees program. He's going
out to Morgantown for his college career verbally committed but
pretty solid, which is great anyway, That's not even why

(03:43):
I'm doing this story, Matt. I'm doing this story because
even though West Virginia pulled the trigger on our guy
and Neil Brown after going thirty seven and thirty five,
they're having fun exactly and being blown out at two
attack on FS one on Saturday owed about nine point

(04:04):
seven seven five million.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Okay, it's a nice little golden parachute.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
He was there six years, platinum parashute, and we honor him.
Not because of me and my heritage, not because of
Dawn and Trent McClain, not because of my nostalgia for
the Holler, but because coach gave us the best sound
bite of the year. After they got not beaten soundly,

(04:29):
but after they were lost a home game at Milon
Pushgar Stadium. Coach asked the question basically the Matt Smith,
aren't you having fun at the Dodgers regular season gates question?
It's great, Hey, didn't you guys go to the tailgate
and have a drink like seems like everybody had a
good time. Why would you want to come after me?

Speaker 3 (04:44):
I get that they want to win, but I would
what I would say is did they have a good time?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Right? You know what I mean? Like, right, yes, don't
you enjoy it? It was pretty good atmosphere.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
You know, I'm assuming they had probably had a pretty
good time tailgating. Right, So if they're in the if
they're in the deal for for enjoyment, then I would
come back because I looked at the weather, it's going
to be nice again. It's a night game, so and
we need them to provide a home field advantage. We
need them. I get their frustrated and we didn't win.

(05:14):
You know, we played a tough schedule.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Sure have played a tough schedule. I know they want
to win, but did you have fun? Seems like y'all
were drinking. Seemed like you guys had a few good
drinks there, like tailgate was going on. It seems like
a I mean, I know you want to win, but
did they have a good time? Did you have you
know what I mean? Like, did they enjoy it? Maybe
you're right you think about it like this. It was
a West Coast show, so it's hard for people to
relate with, you know, my moonshine past and my axe throwing.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
But you're gonna put this into context for us.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yes, think about think about like USC losing a Notre Dame.
You know, Okay, but didn't you have fun out there day?
Did you see your friends? You know, post Thanksgiving? Didn't
you see all your friends at the alumni uh, the
alumni tailgate picnic you liked to go to. I did
play out hell a little catch with that launch and

(06:02):
ask nerf ball that you could throw away too far?
Did they have a good time? Did you have a
good time?

Speaker 4 (06:06):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Like Ryan, why do you want to fire a guy
like me? I appreciate it. I create this environment, we
have this come on, we didn't wait soon?

Speaker 3 (06:13):
They had probably had a pretty good time tail gaty.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Seems like it seems like I had a good time.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
We're talking about here.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
I can smell you all barbecue when I rolled up
with the team.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
So if they're in the if they're in the deal
for for enjoyment, then.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
I would come back.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Because so I looked at the weather, it's going to
be nice again.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
All right, I'd come back. Winds loses points.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Lots of points, lots of reasons to do West Virginia stories.
But thank you for that great quote, Coach Neil Brown,
and good luck in your future. It is time for
the number of the day. Here's my number. Number of
the day.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Number of the day is the old today years old. Well, technically, uh,
three days old, is how I was. I am not
afraid to expose my my white toosity stiffness of my character.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
If you were black, your name would be stiff Booty.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Leroight, yes, I would be a true if Booty Leroy.
I will hide the names to protect the guilty, as
though I do not want to expose them for their
faults or their life choices, but as I too, like you,
departed family members that I had not seen in quite
some time Thanksgiving day after Thanksgiving technically afternoon to catch

(07:33):
a flight Frontier Airlines nineteen dollars ticket. I paid every
upgrade possible, which brought my total to ninety dollars and
seventy cents. Thought I was going to be getting me
a first class seat, but no, it turns out it wasn't.
It wasn't No, It's just it was just the front
two rows and they don't sell the middle seat. So
I was like, that's fine, whatever, you know. But I

(07:55):
was a little stressed about the flight as you know,
inclement weather? Am I going to get out on top?
What's happening here? Down a little double Woodford on the
way out? Get on the plane. You ladies got booze
up there? Yes we do. What do you got? You
got an ipa? I'll take it, Voodoo ranger, bang down
the hatch. So my judgments have been impaired by the time.

(08:15):
I actually wasn't a drunken stupid, my judgment may have
been a bit impaired. I was probably easily influenced to
go into a direction once I arrived at the hotel,
almost at the exact moment the chargers arrived, not sure
where we were going. I have not had anything to eat,

(08:35):
and you don't see you don't see a lot of
white cracker hobos out here.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Look at that. Oh no, that's our play by play guy.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
I had two choices. I had one contingent saying, hey, man,
go to the waffle house. It's right there, right across
Centennial Park. We can walk there.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
That's where I used to go when I lived in
West Virginia.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Get some get some breakfast food over there at the
waffle house. I was like, yeah, okay, how about this side.
Are you guys going, we're going to Magic City gonna
get some wings. I was like, oh, well, I like wings,
but it's not just a wing place.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
Man.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
The way it was sold to me, this was my interpretation.
The way it was sold to me, is well, there
is a separate area for you to get wings than
the strip club. Okay, so we're just gonna get the wing.
It's a famous strip club. It's not just because it's
supposedly the best wings in Atlanta. It just so happens
to be a strip club.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
When you walk the door is actually James Harden's whole
giant face with his mouth open, and you walk in
right through his mouth.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
So when we arrive, like get some wings. That'll be
twenty five dollars. Twenty five dollars cover charge to get wings.
The guy looks at me, I'm a freaking idiot. What
I'm just gonna get the wings? It said, yeah, twenty
five dollars. I was like, okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Should have gone to the waffle house.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Should have gone to the wild holes. There is no
separate area to get wings.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Did you get your two drink minimum as well?

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Just oh I got three. I watched the under the
Georgia Tech Georgia game.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Did you let like a big old lady do a
lap dance on you? And they wanted to, They wanted to.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
My name's Ebony and I stood out inside of the
Magic City. It turns out because I thought I was
going to get some lemon pepper wings.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Who was the big magic see Lou Williams. Guess who
was at the wheat Lou. Guess who was sitting at
the bar Lou Williams. Yes, Oh my god, he was
sitting there eating wings. That's like going to slap the bar.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
That's like going to Sloppy Joes in Key West and
seat artist hemiway exactly. Oh my god, man.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
He was sitting at the end of the bar eating
lemon pepper wings. I was like, just where you're going
to the twenty one Club and see Orson Wells. Just
where you got Yeah, yeah, we just bring the wings
to you need them. It's like just right here. Yeah,
that's what we do at the bar, at the at
the stage. Yes, so yes, I'm I'm an idiot.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Stiff.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Booty Leroy assumed there was a separate area to eat wings.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
What did you say to the guy that just told
you that that you're a liar to the people.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
You're I I did, I said, I feel as though
you deceived me.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
You. I'm sorry. I can't hear you. My head is
between the boobs of this bbw's stripper.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
You deceived me, sir, You're a deceiver. I came for
the wings, and I got three beers for sixty bucks
and a lap dance Hower Cinnamon and Destiny doing oh
fantastic hates. I'm glad you asked. Excuse me? Can you
just move that left boob so I can see? This
is triple overtime now for Georgia and George attack.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Let's do it, right it?

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yes, yes, the wings. That'll be twenty five dollars. Okay, right, Hornet,
is that Lou Williams? It is hey, I was blue.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Lou Williams gave me a knowing stare and a tip
of his fedora. This is the song of the dance, Damn, Matt.

Speaker 6 (11:52):
Sixty dollars for three beers.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
That's like going to a Dodger game.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
I mean, yeah, but the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
There might have been other Gerks included. I have no idea, Ronnie.
It was getting away from me in a hurry, that
one's got a spiderweb tattoo on her booth.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
I thought I'd drake a lot this weekend. The band
Krungbin present today's song of the Day with the cover
of Vincent Garali's holiday classic Christmas Time is here, because
indeed it is the holiday season. On the Petros and
Money Show, broadcasting live from the Pinnacle Building in person
in the beautiful city of Burbank, making merry with three
hours of great sports talk to put you in that

(12:26):
holiday spirit. Were a fancy NFL Monday Night foosball game
is on the itinerary with the Cleveland Browns and Denver
Broncos getting together an empower field at Mile High or
Westwood One. We'll have the pre game right here beginning
at five o'clock.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Hey you Runny, You're welcome. We'll be right back with
a little flip top story of the day. Thanks for listening, everybody.
It's I'm a Horse Monday.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
We want to see in Downie on Thursday Thursday football
BJ's Restaurant in brew House, Downing. That's the Stonewood Center
right out the five six oh five corner Firestone in
Lakewood Boulevard. We will have charge your Buccaneer tickets to
give away Clipper tickets, to give away fifty dollars bja's
gift cards. And again it is this Thursday tonight, We're
going to Money Night football, So we'll be off in
about an hour and a half.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
I mean, you ain't gonna be here tomorrow. And a
few people are calling Bshun saying that fool knew he
was going to.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Shrip square to you. I did not, all right, And
one of the people that went in the group was
in the exact same position I was. They were like,
I was under the impression we were going to get
wings at like a takeout.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Joe. I know you changed your nickname a few years back,
but I came here to work with boobly boobs mets.
I know what kind of guy you are. Uh, we'll
call this the flip top story of the day. Now
tomorrow I'll clip you out. I will put you out.
This is the FlipTop story of the day. Tomorrow. I'll
do more of a dissertation about the USC Notre Dame.

(13:54):
There was a lot of college football action over the weekend,
all the flag you all that stuff. We had a
very in depth conversation about that early in the show
Pepper Spray and all that. You could podcast all of
it on the iHeartRadio app. We did the West Virginia story.
In the last segment, we will talk about Lincoln Riley

(14:19):
Notre Dame USC Fight on Fight Fight All, what there
is to look forward to.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
He told him, shouldn't play the game. You stopped playing
this game, Lincoln, this game is not for you.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Leadership seems to be lacking. In fact, if you want
to make it simple, the USC's problem ever since Pete
Carroll left is leadership. And there's about eight or nine
people whose names we've said over and over and over again,
say all their names that we could point to, but
we're not doing that today. Today we are going to
tell you about what a difference a few months make.

(14:57):
When we were young men, Matt over the summer, we
had a laugh at first year rookie head coach at
UCLA got the kind of a battlefield promotion in a
weird way when they froze out Chip Kelly and Chip
Kelly froze them out. Our friend Deshaun Foster, now, his

(15:18):
introduction to the nation was probably the most played video
clip of him in his life, which is unfortunate because
well it left a little something to be desired. At
Big ten Media day out there, Sure.

Speaker 7 (15:32):
You guys don't know too much about UCLA but our
football program.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
But we know this.

Speaker 7 (15:36):
We're in LA right, this is us in usc We
I'm just basically excited. Really, that's it.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Man questions, Well, Wad says it all. Did you not
prepare for this would be my first question. But so
we had a fun with that. They wanted to come
out where they were invited to come out, and they
accept him to come out to the Tarantula Hill showed
we had and they asked us, hey, maybe don't talk
about that, and they said, don't worry, we know how

(16:14):
to get into it. We're going to show him love.
And then they still kind of.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Decline, wearing a T shirt that says we're in LA right.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
And then they barely barely beat Hawaii, and there was
a few moments there where it looked like UCLA wasn't
going to win another game. They found some improvement and
a little wind streak in the middle of the season
to where it looked like he was keeping the team
together and growing. They lose to sc in the rivalry
game and Matt just to show how a man can

(16:40):
change change if over a few weeks, over a month
or so, playing college football with who you have, dealing
with the transfer portal, dealing with all the recruiting, dealing
with all the questions, dealing with the little story, dealing

(17:01):
with the national story, hoping that people show up at
the games, hoping that you are a story and no
one's forgotten you and everybody. You could very easily forget
UCLA football over the weekend because there was so much
going on. And they're playing Fresno State right here on
five seventy. They're losing at the half ten to six,

(17:23):
and Deshaun Foster finally lost it. He got on the
microphone with Wayne Cook and he did what he should
have done first day of camp. He started threatening people's scholarships. Coach,
I could see it on your face. This is about
just bringing in second.

Speaker 8 (17:37):
Half, right, These boys got to show up enough of
to talk in, enough of making excuses nothing, to come
out here and show up and be ready to play football.
You're a scholarship at UCLA. You should be ready to
play some football every Saturday a right, Coach, Let's go.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yes, Let's go yes, You're a scholarship football player, and
I'm sorry that you're out there.

Speaker 8 (17:57):
Come out here and show up and be ready to
play football. You're a scholarship at UCLA. You should be
ready to play some football every Saturday.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
All right, coach, let's go everybody's making fun of me.
I froze up in Big ten media day. Chip Kelly
left in the middle of the night to go be
the coordinator in Ohio State. Everybody's down on me. F this.
I'm sorry you guys are out there.

Speaker 8 (18:21):
You're a scholarship at UCLA. You should be ready to
play some football every Saturday.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
You idiots. I will take your scholarship, you fools. I
love it. Finally, anger and vitriol and savage emotion from
the great running back out of Tustin, Deshaun Foster. You're
a scholarship player and you make me suck. Thank you?

Speaker 2 (18:45):
All right, coach, Let's go right.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
And the UCLA came out and out tops heard with
a gigantic fist of fury and punched Fresno in the
face and beat Fresno in the second half. And Matt
Stevens and Wayne Cook and Josh they were all like
like this, ain't gray as to show. Let's go. Can
someone go down on the sidelines and push to Shaun

(19:09):
Foster and get him mad again? Right?

Speaker 2 (19:10):
We need to keep Deshaun Foster mad? Yeah, Matt, I agree.
I was very refreshed. He's a intimidating gentlemen poart.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Deshn Foster was beat up by blowhard idiot radio shows
like this one that he finally had enough here in La.
You mean here in LA where the team is down
ten to six coming off the field at the tunnel,
he says, you're.

Speaker 8 (19:35):
A scholarship at UCLA. You should be ready to play
some football every Saturday.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yes, your freaking idiots, you're on scholarship at U see LA.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
All right, take, Can someone go down on the sidelines
and push to Shawn Foster and get him mad again?

Speaker 9 (19:47):
Right?

Speaker 2 (19:48):
We need to keep DeShawn Foster mad, you know. And
I would do man right. I would have someone get
on all fours behind him and then you and that'll
really upset him when he goes right over tease how
we knocked him out.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
So anyway, congratulations to UCLA on the five win season.
It's four more wins and a lot of people thought
you would have after the Hawaiian game, right, Yeah, And
I know they're not going to a bowl game and
they probably could use the extra practice, right, but at
least you threaten their scholarships at halftime. And I'm not
saying that this is a bad thing. I love it.

(20:23):
F you guys come out here and only score six
points against Presno State. I'm sorry you're out there.

Speaker 8 (20:29):
You're a scholarship at UCLA. You should be ready to
play some football every Saturday.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Better come back out and not embarrass me. To Sean
Foster like Big ten media day, well done, well done, right, hey,
Franszno State's not that bad. San Jose turnaround beat freaking
Stanford over the weekend anyway, thank you.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
They got a new GM Andrew look.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
And San Jose State has fake coyotes on their field
to scare away the pigeons.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Smart.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
What's your point?

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Anything's possible?

Speaker 1 (21:04):

Speaker 9 (24:17):
You know, love the support of everybody in LA and
you know, Dodgers fans all around the country. You've been
seen a lot back home in San Diego, so it's
nice to know that Padres don't have a monopoly on
the market. But yeah, no, I'm excited to see all
the fans out here today. We're here, see all the
fans out here today, and you know, get to thank

(24:39):
them for their support this year.

Speaker 10 (24:40):
Are you treated differently in San Diego?

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Are you allowed to go out of that house now?

Speaker 11 (24:44):
Tommy?

Speaker 10 (24:44):
Do you have to send the life?

Speaker 5 (24:45):
How are you treated now?

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (24:47):
No, I have definitely enjoyed it, enjoy getting to see
my friends and have them all express their frustration.

Speaker 10 (24:54):
But I'm beating the Padres.

Speaker 9 (24:55):
But you know, it's been fun. It's been great to
see family as and old friends and you know, just
been enjoying the off season so far.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
Tommy's kind of an understated guy, but he did tell
me that the Dodgers had this extension done with him
about a week ago, but they held off on announcing
it because of the Blake Snell signings. So this was
not something that just happened on Friday or Saturday. This
was something that Dodgers and Tommy Edmund already had worked

(25:23):
out a week ago.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Dave, we saw some guys like Trey Turner take off
after being traded for it felt like this was inevitable, right,
This extension was not maybe just agreed to a week ago,
but that these two sides were going to find a
way to make this a long term relationship.

Speaker 5 (25:40):
Yeah, especially when Andrew Friedman told me repeatedly there were
two guys at the top of his off season board
last year. One of them was show Hey o Tani
and number two was Tommy Edmond. That's how badly Andrew
Friedman wanted Tommy Edmond. He finally gets him in a trade,
so he's not going to allow him to go into

(26:00):
his walkiar and test free agency. He just values him
that much. And I look at it two different ways.
Number One, he basically is going to take the role
of Chris Taylor once Chris Taylor's contract expires at the
end of this upcoming year. And also in a lot
of respects, he's replacing Chris Taylor's salary slot on the

(26:23):
roster as well after this year. So he's a super
utility guy, plays, as Andrew Friedman described it to me,
elite defense at second shortened center. So he's a valuable
guy to have and he basically is going to take
on that role We've seen Chris Taylor play for the
last well since twenty seventeen, since twenty sixteen.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
It's big at another guys you know, well, Dave, what
about Nolan Aernato? What about the rumors about him?

Speaker 5 (26:50):
Yeah, I know everybody was freaking out petrosin Money. I'm
not sure if you guys taught this. I'm hooked as
everybody else on Instagram. I'm Kendrick Lamar's new drop.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
I don't know how you guys.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Are totally You took the words out of my mouth dude.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
For Daniel Teremaya during that I Live last night.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, exactly right, Dave. I was gonna say the.

Speaker 11 (27:10):
Saka Nolan Aronado got everybody freaked out over the weekend
because he posted some off season photos to Kendrick Lamar's
newest song.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
Dodger Blue Who Yeah. Yeah, so that's why I was
freaking out, and I did. I tapped into a few
people close to Nolan and they told me, look, it's
not impossible, but they don't see him being traded to
the Dodgers something that is imminent or highly likely at
this point.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
What about just him being traded in general, Dave.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
Yeah, there seems to be a lot of talk about that,
even talked that he reportedly would be interested in He
wouldn't oppose moving to first base. But for a guy
who's lugging percentage has gone down the last couple of years,
I'm not sure that offense, really plays at first base,
and his value is his defense at third base. But

(28:11):
it seems like the Cardinals are in a rebuilt type
of mode. And yeah, Nolan Aeronado, there's a good chance
that he may be traded. I would say the chances
of him being traded this offseason are exponentially higher than
him being traded specifically to the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
You know, Dave, I was in Atlanta yesterday and around
those media Yeah, around those media tites at the Falcon game,
more than two of them, not one, but two different
people asked about Freddie Freeman and said that it was
one of the darkest days in Atlanta sports history when
Freddie was not retained and went to the Dodgers and

(28:48):
checked in on him. How's he doing? How does LA
like him? I asked, because we know how emotional Freddie
was at the start. Is Atlanta completely behind him in
your opinion, because certainly he is not completely behind Atlanta
at this point.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
I believe he put Atlanta behind him after that first
return back there. Just the way it all went down,
I think everybody understood that he wasn't all in as
a Dodger at that point in time, and even some
of his teammates, even Kershaw kind of came out publicly
and kind of gave him a side eye. After that,

(29:23):
you know, he closed the door. He had closure going
back to Atlanta that year in twenty twenty two, and
after that, it seems like he has really become more
of a Dodger each and every game. And now after
doing what he did in the postseason, playing with you know,
a torn rib muscle, playing on a bad right ankle,

(29:46):
and hitting one of the more iconic World Series home
runs in baseball and Dodger history, Atlanta is so far
back in the rear view mirror you can't even see
make in Georgia anymore. And Fred Freeman's car. So I
just feel like now everybody associates him with the Dodgers
as much as they associated him with the Braves after

(30:08):
having his signature. Let's face it, even with the Braves,
he never had a signature moment like he had in
Game tell of the World Series, So it has I mean,
at this point in time, he's a Dodger.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah, Dave, any other moves we should maybe anticipate this
week as the week unfolds in the hot stove world.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
Yeah, just to give you guys a reminder, the Winter
Meetings are taking place in Dallas, Texas beginning Sunday night.
I'll be out there filing reports with you guys, doing
some Dodger talks. But a lot of people believe that's
where Juan Soto is going to sign his contract because
at that very same Hilton hotel in Dallas, that is

(30:49):
where Scott Boris negotiated, finalized and announced Alex Rodriguez's record
breaking contract at the time with the Texas Rangers. So
many people believe Scott is going to close it out
at that same hotel for a new record breaking contract
with a new client in Juan Soto. It's still Mets Yankees.

(31:13):
I know Boston is punting for him, but I would
say they're a distant third. And look, the Dodgers had
interest in Bryce Harper as well on their terms. It
feels like the same way with Juan Soto.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Two o'clock hour will really bust back Scott. What an
off season for you. That's great, it's gonna be can't
wait for that coverage. That's d J. Could you give
me a double double animal style that's next week we'll
do We'll do the Winter Meeting stuff. Next week Tomorrow
Blake Snell press conference, probably somewhere in the two o'clock hour.

(31:49):
David Vasse will have that coverage as always, live from
Dodger Stadium, and we'll see who gets to talk to Snow.
Thank you, Dave, have a great night.

Speaker 5 (31:57):
Thank you guys. And who knows Neil's villa? My be
