Arranged Marriage is basically a reality show and you're auditioning for your soulmate. And who's judging? Only your entire family. I sacrificed myself to this ancient tradition, hoping to find love the right way.

And instead, I found chaos, comedy, and a lot of cringe. Listen to boys and girls on the I-heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

If without this probe, I'm going to die.

Listen to the Cino's show on the I-Hart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. If that's what makes Teoska Hernandez leave, I'm going to be a very upset boy. That said... I don't know. 25, 30 million is a lot of money. That is always music to my ears, literally and figuratively, because... because it means that Dodgers territory is back on the air. This is a brand new live, fresh episode with your boy, Clint Pesias. I am Alana Rizzo. We are your host for the next half an hour talking all things Dodgers.

And there's not a ton to talk about Clint over the course of the last few days. Weekend change. But I do think the Dodgers have done a lot of good things already in this off season. The biggest thing, though, is when will they sign if they're going to Teoska Hernandez? So let's get into the big ticket. All right. So that's been on the top of mind, right, for everybody. Where is Teo going to go?

The longer that it goes, the more worried that I get. But Dave Roberts recently had some good things to say about it. What do you take away from his conversation with Alicia Del Valle on leadlos? Yeah, we have a clip that we're going to play in just a second. I think we've heard a lot of this over the last couple of weeks. Dodgers are close. We've heard Dave Asse say something similar to what Dave Roberts said. Of course, they didn't want to talk.

a whole lot about it at the winter meetings. But again, all signs point to Dodgers, Tay Oscar Hernandez reunion. It makes sense in so many ways, so many capacities. And guys, if you're watching this live, do sound off in the comments, interested in knowing what people, what do people do when Tayasker Hernandez returns of the Dodgers? But let's roll that beautiful bean footage from our friends over at Bleedlos and then we'll get back and talk about it. So here we go. Back. Teosker, I love Teo. And so, I think we're close. I pray.

Everyone say your prayers that we get Teo done so we can come back in Dodger Blue as well. Say your prayers, guys. We need Teoscar Hernandez back. Listen, I'm praying over a bottle each night to bring Teo home. It makes sense. I've talked about this so much. It makes so much sense. It's a move that needs to happen.

We still don't know if it's the money, if it's the years, what the holdup is. But Dave, having some confidence makes me feel better at this moment. What do you think? Exactly. I mean, the fact that Dave Roberts, the World Series manager himself said that he feels that they're close. I don't think Dave would go out on a limb and say that if they were so far apart that there's no chance that Tay Oscar is going to come back. I think the biggest thing in this whole thing, Clint, is that Tao, at least at the World Series parade and championship at Chavez Ravine, made it very clear that he wanted to be a Dodger. And I do think that it's a situation where, you know, I doubt it's money, especially with this team right now.

maybe it's a year the year situation, but I do think both sides would love to have a reunion. And again, when I had a conversation with Ken Rosenthal on Fair Territory last week, he didn't seem to think that the Dodgers signing of Michael Conforto over the winter meetings period affected whether or not that they would sign Teosca Hernandez. Conforto, obviously, a left-handed bat in the outfield would not make a difference as to whether Teoscar Hernandez comes back as a right-handed bat in right field. So that being said, I think they're close. I hope they're close.

The longer it goes, the more worried it makes me, of course. But, you know, Oscar Hernandez has every right to test those free agent waters, but I think the Dodgers will do the right thing. And it's not like you're bringing back a guy that doesn't want to be here. You're not forcing him back, right? And fans obviously would love to have it. You can't make decisions based on what the fans want, but there's nobody in my tenure with the Dodgers that has ingratiated himself more

in a shorter amount of time to the fan base that we knew, was a free agent, not a guy that we knew was going to be under, you know, contract for several years than Teasasca Hernandez had. Yeah. And I think, I think it's going to happen. And to me, again, it's one of those moves where I, I know I would be very frustrated as a fan and as somebody that covers his team. If it comes down to like a year or like $25 million somewhere, you know, we've heard seen some reports where apparently it's down to him not wanting to accept deferrals, which I doubt that. I really doubt it comes down to deferrals because you're getting. the money either way or the size of the signing bonus or something like that. But if it comes down to just that little bit of money over the scheme of we're talking about how much money this team makes in a year, if it comes down to like, like $25, $30 million over the course of a couple year contract, if that's what makes Teoska Hernandez leave, I'm going to be a very upset boy. That said, I don't know, 25, 30 million is a lot of money. If it comes down to like, well, but if it's if it's like

five, six million, then I'm like, okay, what are we doing? But 25 to 30 million difference, that's a, that's a big deal. I mean, it's, it's, it's one season and you look at the state of the outfield. Again, it's, you have Conforto, uh, Tommy Edmund had had his up and downs. We love Tommy Edmund here in Dodge Blue, but he had his ups and downs. Andy Pa has had his ups and downs. You need that grown up in the outfield. So the fitment is there. You're trying to maximize this early part of the window with Shohei Otani and Muki still being as young as he is, Freddie's still on the team and being able to

produce. Get me, Tay Oscar in that lineup and when you get three to four years down the line, I'm pretty sure he's still going to be able to hit. Maybe the defense won't be as pretty, but maybe you find a trade or something at that point. People in the comments, of course, would love to see Teo back.

George is saying, I like this one. Teo's not asking for a suite like Juan Soto did, all those perks. Juan Soto got were pretty crazy. Yeah, a lot of things. D. Rod saying people say things out of emotion during a championship parade. But then again, Teo said that all throughout the year. He wants to come back.

Dave wants him back. We all want it back. Figure it out. Get it done for Christmas. I think they will. I do, really, I do think that they will get this done. And if you notice on Tay Oscar's Instagram, he hasn't posted much other than his daily like Bible verse affirmation.

So he's being very quiet, obviously. He's not posting anything. that is cryptic like Nolan Aranato did with Kendall Lamar's Dodger Blue walking in LA. I was like, what is that the best troll job ever, right? So there you have it. Well, the last time that Clint and I were on the show with you guys on Dodgers territory on Thursday, we were talking about potentially beefing up the Dodgers bullpen. And that was in addition to obviously knowing that they signed Blake Trinan,

super happy about that, two years, $22 million to get Trinan back in the pen with the dogs. but we talked about, hey, could it be Devin Williams? Could it be Tanner Scott? Well, we now know that Devin Williams is a member of the New York Yankees. Jeff Passon tweeting this out on the 13th, three days ago, that the New York Yankees are finalizing a trade to acquire closer Devin Williams from the brew crew. Sources telling ESPN. So that means that that airbender is going to New York.

And it also means that the Dodgers will not have his services. Does that mean, Clint, that they spend more money on Tanner Scott? Now, remember, Devin Williams, was a one-year deal likely. Tanner Scott comes with multiple years and a lot more money. We know Andrew Friedman does a lot of things right, but one thing he doesn't do is spend a boatload on relievers. What does this mean to you?

Yeah, that's the thing that really throws me. You know, understanding the team is linked to Tanner Scott, understanding they want another back-end bullpen guy. But to imagine the type of money that Tanner Scott is going to be commanding this off-season, and there's a lot of closer types available on the free agent, So maybe that's kind of hurting his market a little bit. Maybe that brings him into Dodger Blue. But we're talking about a multi-year deal, a lot, a lot of money.

And just a minute ago, I'm talking about the, you know, needing to spend as much as you need to bring back to Oscar. I think, I think Devin Williams being traded to the Yankees, like my instinct tells me it hurts the Dodgers in their pursuit of Tanner Scott. Because usually they operate best when they have something, but they could pivot to something else. You know, they never want to, they want the market to come to them. They won't really chase. And that's what we're also seeing with Teo right now. So I still think a deal could happen, but I wouldn't be shocked to see them, you know, pivot, change course and do something, you know, another one of the kind of, I wouldn't say low, lower class, high leverage arms. But they might go and take a flyer on somebody else rather than go out and spend the high dollar on Tanner Scott if he can get a big deal somewhere.

Yeah, I'm not certain which relievers are still out there. I apologize. I don't know the list of available free agent relievers or even somebody that they could get via trade. I would love to see Tanner Scott. I just don't know if the price point is going to be what the Dodgers are willing to spend. Again, you don't want to overpay just because you can, New York Mets. You don't necessarily, you know, I just think it's, I think some of it is a little ludicrous. Again, I don't blame Juan Soto at all.

But how badly do they need another back end guy to compliment what they already have? I mean, you're getting Evan Phillips back. You're getting Blake Trinin. Obviously, we don't know exactly where Bruce Dahl is going to be in this whole situation. Alex Vesia, Anthony Banda, all of this. Do you need another, like, absolute just gun of an arm? Would that make you? I mean, of course, it's going to make us feel better.

But is it necessary? Is it vital? Is it critical Clint? So I talked about this on my channel a couple weeks ago. And when you lay it all out and understanding that, you know, Brazuka, you know, Broussardle had a shoulder operation, they're going to be without the services of Kyle Hurt this year, River Ryan this year. They're getting some other pieces back.

The bullpen looks like, you know, you lose one guy or you lose like 10 guys like they lost over the course of the 2024 season. You can really be hurting by the time you get to October. But if, you know, let's say things fall the way we. anticipate and Dustin May moves into that bullpen and becomes a weapon down there. All of a sudden, maybe you don't necessarily, to the question, need to add that big time, you know, closer type, somebody that is, you know, considered a late inning high leverage guy. Maybe you just need somebody that is entering the mix, you know, the, the Phillips, Vescia, you know, Michael Kopeck is

still in the picture as well. So they got some arms. They're in a pretty, you know, advantageous spot. They told us at the winter meetings, I think it was Brandon Gohm, said we like our bullpen. We like it, but we would still like to add something else. So do the question. Need strong word. Like to have, hell yeah. Usually on this podcast will kill you, we talk about the diseases, infections, and biological threats that can make us really sick. But right now, we're doing something a little different. We're stepping back and looking at what the human body needs to keep going. When you consider what we know about sleep in humans, there's one rule that comes out. We are predictably unpredictable sleepers.

We're talking about why sleep works the way it does, why our bodies don't follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by. The second half of our series takes us to the digestive system with a multi-part series on what happens after we eat. Okay, I just have to say that all of my favorite words apparently are digestive words. Sphinctor, peristaltis, duodenum.

It's fascinating. It's funny, and it matters so much more than you think. episodes of our new series run from January 20th through February 17th, with new episodes every Tuesday on the Exactly Right Network. Listen to this podcast will kill you as part of the Exactly Right Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Bob Pittman, chairman and CEO of IHeart Media, and I'm kicking off a brand new season of my podcast, Math and Magic, stories from the Frontiers of Marketing. Math and Magic takes you behind the scenes of the biggest businesses and industries while sharing insights from the smartest minds in marketing. I'm talking to leaders from the entertainment industry to finance and everywhere in between. This seasonal math and magic, I'm talking to CEO of Liquid Death Mike Cesario, financier and public health advocate, Mike Milken, take-to-interactive CEO Strauss-Zalnik. If you're unable to take meaningful creative risk and therefore run the risk of making horrible creative mistakes, then you can't play in this business.

Sesame Street CEO Sherry Weston and her own chief business officer, Lisa Coffey. Making consumers see the value of the human voice and to have that guaranteed human promise behind it really makes it rise to the top. Listen to math and magic, stories from the frontiers of marketing, starting March 19th on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

A silver 40-caliber handgun was recovered at the scene. From IHeart Podcasts and Best Case Studios. This is Worshack, murder at City Hall. How could this have happened? in the City Hall. Somebody tell me that. Jeffrey Hood did it. July 2003, Councilman James E. Davis arrives

at New York City Hall with a guest. Both men are carrying concealed weapons. And in less than 30 minutes, both of them will be dead. Now, everybody in the chambers duct. A shocking public murder. I scream, get down, get down.

Those are shots. Those are shots. Get down. A charismatic politician. You know, he just bent the rules all the time. I still have a weapon and I could shoot you. And an outsider with a secret. He alleged he was a victim of flatdown. That may or may not have been political. That may have been about sex.

Listen to Rorschach, murder at City Hall, starting on March 25th on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, you know, and that's something that's funny too, because every single year at spring training at Camelback Ranch, when I was fortunate enough to cover the team on a daily basis, I would go to have Dave Roberts and Andrew Friedman. They'd sit down together, right? Like Dave would talk every single day, obviously, before and after spring training,

warmups and practice and all the things. But Andrew Freeman would address the media every once in a while. And every year, it was always the bullpen that leaves you scratching your head at night, right? It always leads it's the bullpen that keeps GMs and president of baseball ops up at night. And if you're going into this season, I think that the bullpen looks pretty strong. You even mentioned Michael Copick. I have forgotten about him, is ridiculous to forget about him, but Kopeck is in there.

We don't think Joe Kelly's coming back, obviously. No. But I do think Dustin May to the pen is a solid, solid move. And depending upon what happens if they get another starter, perhaps that is the move for Dustin May. And they will have other pieces as well. Emmett Sheehan should be healthy and, you know, bouncing back this year. Nick Frasso is a guy that the team was very, very high on,

but he was injured last year recovering from a shoulder surgery. I think it was labor surgery. so he should be available, possibly throwing, you know, day one at spring training. They, it's the Los Angeles Dodgers. They always have pitching depth. They always have some people that can come in and fill some rolls. Landon Nack was pretty gross. Ben Casperius, probably his future is in that bullpen.

Justin Robleski. And Henriquez and her Henriquez too. And those guys have, you know, those guys have options. And so they could be up and down that, you know, on that Oklahoma City train as, B2. Let's shift our focus. Do we care that the Dodgers signed infielder David Bodie to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training? One thing I love about this team and we'll fill the graphic up so people understand what's going on. David Bodie played a lot of third base, played a lot of second base at the big league level. Hasn't really hit a whole bunch at the big league level,

but the Dodgers do what they do best and that is just adding depth. This is absolutely another one of the depth pieces and we got a lower for that as well. They added another guy, as well. Matt Sawyer, Sauer, I don't know how to pronounce the name, but he's got a little bit of Major League service under his belt. But another one of those guys, what does this team love to do? What does Andrew Friedman? Brandon Gomes love to do? Give themselves optionality, take some flyers. That's how this team has had this crazy run of success. It's not through the Teosker signings or your Yamamoto signings, the high dollar signings. Usually the Dodgers do well. Finding these guys, the diamonds in the rough, the Max Muncie's taking a flyer.

on Evan Phillips, you know, Michael Kopeck and his ERA near five. You bet on the player. You bet on your organization to be able to make a player better. And whether or not David Bodie helps a team or he's 2025's version of Andre Lipsius. Definitely doesn't hurt the team. That's the thing. Like if you can invite anybody to a non-raster invitee spring training invite, a minor league deal, whatever it is.

I remember, remember Justin Turner came as a non-roster invitee in 2004. because of Ned Coletti saying, hey, come here. You know, if the Mets wanted to DFAM, God bless you. Thanks. If they non-tendered him, we'll take him. And look at what Justin Turner ended up being to this organization. I am not saying that David Bodie is Justin Turner. Get off me.

What I'm saying is there's no harm in inviting a dude to spring training just to see how it works out. So it'll be interesting to see. But what does this mean for the infield picture as far as that's concerned? because we still keep talking about the fact if Mooky's going to short, does that mean that, you know, Gavin Lux is the starting second baseman to open the 2025 season?

We're not, Tommy Edmonds in center, right? So the end field, the middle of the infield is still the question mark. The Lux thing is definitely interesting. And, you know, we're not going to get too much into crazy rumors and reports, but there have been people talking online that maybe Gavin Lux was involved in some of the Devin Williams trade conversation.

We don't know. We're not privy to those conversations, of course. But I'm very interested to view, know how the team is viewing Gavin Lux because they, you know, they said, hey, Mookie Betts is our starting shortstop. Gavin would have the most value to the team if he was able to plug in at shortstop and be the man there. They don't believe in that and that's fine. But if he's going to be the starting to be, if he's going to be part of some platoon or maybe he is involved in other trade conversations right now, He's still young enough. He's cheap enough for this team. And again, I like the bat when he's right in the head.

We saw what he can do during the middle of summer last year. So it's not like a bad thing to have him around. He's going to make less than $3 million next year. Again, not my money. But yeah, it's really a big question. Is he going to try to make him a utility guy, platoon? What is Gavin Lexington? Just playing second base for L.A. next year?

Might be a little tough. Yeah, I don't know. I'm still not willing to give up on Gavin. I think, you know, he had that offseason or all-star time, rather, with his uncle. And it kind of fixed his swing. And he came back and he had a much better second half. And so did Chris Taylor, not for nothing. I know Chris Taylor wasn't getting a lot of A-Bs, but he did make the most of the A-Bs

that he got, particularly in the second half. You know, am I saying Chris Taylor in 2025 is 2015 Chris Taylor? No. But, you know, I'm not giving up on Gavin Lux quite yet. All right. Let's switch gears here. Let's talk a little bleedin' blue. This should be fun.

It's a bop. And I say that because, of course, we are pissing off New York Yankees fans. Never intentionally, Derek Lewandowski, but we're going to do it anyway. So the Los Angeles Dodgers auctioned off Clint, the fly ball that was dropped by Aaron Judge in game five of the World Series. All proceeds, by the way, we're going to charity. Okay. They went to the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, which does a tremendous job in the community serving the underprivileged, the underserved on so many different levels. But, of course, the Yankees fans are pissed off about this.

So it garnered over $43,000. Are the Dodgers soar winners because of this? They called them classless pigs, I think. WFAN Sports Radio. Evan went off on the Dodgers after Major League Baseball, sold Aaron Judges, dropped fly ball. at the auction. Oh, man. This is funny.

Listen, I love, well, one, WFAN, killing the game this, this December, this off season right now. They're having a rough, a rough couple weeks. I'm just telling you,

when I see that, I can't believe it. But it's stupid. You know, it's shock, shock radio. We understand they got to say things and make it clickable

and listenable. Who the hell listens to radio anymore? Nobody. Oh, that's not true. That's not true. Ask Chris Russo, how many people listen to

radio. Anyway, that's neither here nor there. The crowd will say is on the older side of the spectrum when people are listening to radio. But even so, this whole thing is stupid. I like the point you made. The fact that it's going to charity shouldn't make you have to talk crap about it.

And it's not like the Dodgers are saying, oh, look at how stupid Aaron judges. He can't catch a baseball in center field during the World Series. He's like, no. I mean, it happens. He straight up booted it. Maybe he lost it. Here's where you should be pissed. Here's where you should be pissed if you're a Yankee fan. Not because Major League Baseball and the Los Angeles Dodgers decided to sell that dropped fly ball for charity.

What should piss you off is your fifth inning tactics. What should piss you off is a Aaron Judge seemingly dropping that fly ball, which nine times out of ten, one of the best players in the game is going to do. He'll tell you that. What should piss you off is Garrett Cole and Anthony Rizzo not covering first base. What should piss you off is, is the, it was a difficult throw. I'll admit that, a difficult throw, but Kike was safe at third. What should piss you off is the lack of fundamentals that you had as a World Series participant team, the New York Yankees, 27 championships, the most storied franchise in the history of the sport,

that should piss you off. Your fifth inning lack of fundamentals and complete breakdown of how to play baseball 101, that should piss you off, not Major League. baseball and the Los Angeles Dodgers auctioning off a baseball for charity. So your, your anger is directed at the wrong thing because you guys single-handedly lost the world, even when the Yankees came back and tied the game 5-5, you should be mad at the way that they did not play baseball fundamentally sound in the fifth inning. Yeah, yeah, I would, I would be more upset about that. And, and, you know, obviously, fans media were upset about, you know, the Dodgers kind of talking trash about that game, about that whole series, about that inning the way the Dodgers so eloquently or elegantly said throughout there, up to it, including Chris Taylor, saying, watching the Yankees shit down their own leg, with all due respect to the Yankees. But I would be more upset about that. Absolutely. Don't, don't complain about, oh, there's so on the baseball, maybe make your team better.

maybe go out and spend that money on Juan Soto instead of letting them leave but you know wait oh see I think the Yankees I think the Yankees are better not having gotten one Soto I think yeah having signed Max Freed getting it's a bad look though my opinion yeah but I mean they okay but it's not like they didn't try they gave him 15 years or 16 years 750 so so you're not gonna you're not gonna give them a sweet you're making $765 million by your own flipping sweet bro I listen, I'm just saying I can go for that kind of money. Usually on this podcast will kill you, we talk about the diseases, infections, and biological threats that can make us really sick.

Listen to math and magic, stories from the frontiers of marketing starting March 19th on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. A silver 40 caliber handgun was recovered at the scene. From IHart podcasts and Best Case Studios. This is Worshack, murder at City Hall. How could this have happened in City Hall? Somebody tell me that. July 2003, Councilman James E. Davis arrives at New York City Hall with a guest. Both men are carrying concealed weapons.

Listen to Rorschach, murder at City Hall, starting on March 25th on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I like this one, Carnivorous Winter Activity, saying auction off Fat Joe's career.

Give that man the clap for that one. Get wrecked, Fat Joe. Catching strays. I mean, he's just Joe now. It's not fat anymore. Call him, Joe. He's skinnier, Joe, right? He's less than weight. Good for him. As a resident fat guy here, he's still a fat boy. But even so, one of the things I want to ask quickly with regard to this, the auction, $43,000, the Freddie Freeman game, the walkoff Grand Slam, Homer sold for $1.5 million. Do you think like the whole sports memorabilia market, this era we're in is getting out of hand? People waiting, you know, days in advance for Shohei Bumblehead so they can immediately turn around and sell it? Or is that just the game?

I think that's what the market will bear. I think that's what the market will bear. Juan Soto is worth every single penny of the 765. You know why? Because that's what was offered to him. It's not, you can't blame the player. Blame the game, you know? Like, I know I've said that before, but it's like, it is what the market will bear.

If someone is willing to stand in line for three days to get a show, Hey, O'Tani Bobblehead, then that must be what it's worth, right? Because there's people doing it. It's not like if someone has a gun to your head and says, you must stand in this line for three hours to maybe, possibly possibly have a chance at getting a Shohei Otani Bobblehead. The $1.5 million for the home run ball that Freddie Freeman hit off and Esther Cortez with one of the best calls I've ever heard from Joe Davis,

you know, it was worth it, right? It must be worth it. That's what he got. So is it crazy as far as, I mean, if I had that kind of money, I wouldn't spend that, but that doesn't mean that's not that the market doesn't bear that. So, I mean, if you have it, like, you know, everyone is into what they're into like I could drop let's say I had soda money right like I would I could spend $5,000 on a bottle of wine and not think twice but I'm not the type of person that like if I spend $10 on a shirt then I have

buyers remorse it's all what you're into right it's fair I also I imagine you with a but ton of money just being on a farm rolling around in wine and dogs oh my god I would I would have the biggest sanctuary it would be the Gidre's guardian foundation sanctuary so speaking of puppers let's get to last licks. All right, y'all, let me introduce you to Cooper. Cooper is such a sweet, sweet boy. He's a young pup, great with other dogs. He is very well trained. He's in fact been hanging out with the good fine folks at Heroics K-9 in San Diego at their board and trained facility. He is vaccinated. He's leased trained. He's crate trained. He's housebroken. He's phenomenal. So please tell your peeps. Tell your Dodger peeps in enemy territory down in Sandy.

that Cooper is ready to be adopted. He's all, all good things. Reach out if you're interested to me on all my socials or at giddreysgarden.org. Cooper's a hell of a pup. He'd make anybody incredibly happy. Very active. Would love to be like a hiking buddy, all the things and loves to cuddle too. So, you know, there's that too.

You can Netflix and chill with Cooper. Very handsome looking pupper right there. He's a handsome boy. Quickly, did you ever tell you ever. everybody on here that the Big Bang litter got all adopted. I don't remember if we actually pointed out that everybody finally got adopted. You know, it's funny too, because Bernadette was the last one to get adopted in Arizona. And yeah, so all big, all seven, although Bernadette is missing having other dogs around her and her adopter doesn't have another dog. So there might be

a rehoming situation there. But yes, all seven of Boogie's puppies got adopted and Boogie is living her best life in Oregon. So thank you, everybody for all of that. Hey, I don't know if you saw this. It is the holiday time, guys,

and we don't know exactly what the next couple of weeks will look like schedule-wise for us. We're about to talk about it, I think on Thursday, all of us in-house. But tis the season for decorations and Dodgers.

And check this out. This is a friend of mine and also a great Dodger fan, Frank. I don't know if this is actually his house, but what I love seeing on there, a lot of, is that 2024, eight championships there on that beautiful front yard.

You got some Grinch in there. What's, what do you, one, rate this, this do. It's A plus, number one. The fact that 2024 is up there. And did you notice, by the way, 2020 doesn't have an asterisk by it? I love the, this is, I mean, this is like a massive Dodger fan. This is super sweet. I saw this, too, the other day when Frank posted it.

I love it. Congrats to that house. It's very griswoldish. I love it. The more Dodger paraphernalia, the better. I love it. Did you decorate for Christmas, by the way? Yeah, we're decorated.

I needed to put something in here, but I didn't. So that's the end of that story. But we're nice and decorated out there. Got a couple of Dodgers things. But I'm not one of those people. I don't need to have the crazy big, dumb blowups on the yard. Because this is my thing. And I'd say the same thing for, like, Halloween and stuff.

It's like, where do you put that shit? when it's not the holiday. Yeah, you have to have storage. And I have storage, but I would rather store other things or, you know, wine or more so whiskey. I was about to say, you don't even drink one. I don't want to hear it. What is that?

What's coming up on your channel? Tonight we're talking. All Dodgers with Clint Passius. Oh my God, that is the name of the show. Thanks for remembering. We're talking more about your Dodgers tonight. It'll be live stream. I really want some voicemails from people.

I want to know how they're feeling heading into this holiday season. if you guys, you know, if Teo's on your Christmas wish list, but should be live 6 o'clock Pacific time tonight on my channel. I also want to talk more about the Gavin Luck stuff and starting pitching. That's another thing. Starting pitching depth. It might be pretty okay. And we kind of talked a little bit about that already with some of the reliever options

that Dodgers could have if they choose to put some starters in the bullpen. But, yeah, too been. To be in. And also, thanks for being here on Dodgers. territory.
