What up, everybody. And welcome to a brand new episode of Dodgers Territory on this Monday, July 7th. We are so happy that you were here. That is Clint Paseas. I am Alana Rizzo. We are your host for the next 30 minutes. Don't forget to like, subscribe, do all the things. Don't forget we have merch.

Dodgers Territory Shop.com. We appreciate you guys being here so much. It's always great to be back with you, despite the fact that we had a really poopy weekend against the Houston Astros. Clint, let's get to it. Yeah, not the way you want your weekend to go, huh? No, but I have a silver lining. I'm here bringing positivity to the masses.

Again, no disrespect against Justin Rebleski, no disrespect against Emmett Sheehan, but these are not, this is not Blake Snell. This is not, I mean, I think Dr. Zander brought up a really good point, right? We beat Ben Kasparius. I think that's supposed to be Reblisky, Noah Davis and Will Klein. But, you know, again, like this is good for these guys, continuing to get big league experience, getting these moments, pitching in these situations.

but if in fact we do meet the Astros again, we're going to have better pitching, right? You're hoping that you have the Blake Snells of the world, the Tyler Glazazazzo of the world, Yamamoto going up against Kershaw going up against those types of things. So while being swept at home by the Astros for the first time since 2008 isn't great, I'm not freaking out about this. Yeah, I mean, again, it's not ideal.

You really would prefer to not. gets swept by the Astros. It just leaves a bad taste in your mouth because of all of the reasons and all of the things. But Dodgers are banged up. Straight up, they're very banged up. You knew about pitching. We know pitching is an issue. You don't have snow. Like you said, you don't have Glassnow. You don't have maybe every arm you would like to have in the bullpen. Shout out Bruzdar Gratterol. But you're also in this series missing Max Muncie. Tommy Edmund is apparently dealing with a fractured pinky toe and Teasca Hernandez dealing with a foot injury after fouling a pitch off of his left foot in the series.

So overall, just not a great, it wasn't their A lineup. And that's fine. And Astros fans are having fun with it. Don't you need your pinky toe to run? Allegedly, perhaps. Something like that. I don't know. Do you think I run?

No, but you watch enough baseball to know that you probably need all of your all of the tentacles the phalanjis Something like that to run. Yeah. Yeah, I mean again, do you want that? No, because we already have bad blood with the Astros, right? And obviously, you know, and everybody knows by now it was on Bleacher report. It was all over the place that oral seems to think like listen, I don't want to open up old wounds, but it in Oral's mind, he felt I guess and I don't want to speak for him, but it seemed like he felt like he felt like, the Aster's knew what was coming, whether that was the case or not, or maybe we just had really bad pitching performances. Well, on that Bulldog quote, listen, he was having some fun. He very immediately afterwards said, this is probably stronger likelihood that Ben Casperius is tipping his pitches, because you watch the way that the Stroes were getting hits off on Casperius,

and I hope nobody was watching that game in general, just a god-awful game to be a part of. You know, we don't even need to ask DJ-Sever. when he joins us in just a second, the experience of watching one of the worst loss at Dodger Stadium history and all that kind of stuff. But, yeah, Casperius has been struggling a good bit over the last month. And he's moving back to the bullpen, didn't have his best stuff. But thankfully, you know, help is on the way.

And I want to take some also some positives from the series. Show Hey, Otani, look good in his two innings. He has been great. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. 31-year-old Shohay Otani, two innings, one hit, three strikeouts, 31 pitches, making his fourth appearance, first start open, whatever you want to call it. Heson Kim, how about this kid, by the way, at second base? Obviously, I don't have the video here, but he made a couple of dazzling plays at second base.

And maybe, you know, if there's a silver lining to the Max Muncie injury, it's opportunity for Hessan Kim. and he looks phenomenal at second base, something we knew. He's a gold glove caliber second baseman. He was in Korea, and he is here. And how about Mookie Betts coming around a little bit? Five hits in that series, four-game hitting streak, hitting 375, with an OPS near 1,200. So there are some positives.

Positives don't mean you didn't get swept by the Astros, though. No, I agree with you. And again, yeah, it's embarrassing. It's not only embarrassing that you get swept, it's even more embarrassing that you get swept at home. I mean, like, that's just not, that's not. And everyone is going to be like, oh, maybe this is a, you know, a benchmark series or, you know, a series that you know, circle on your calendar just because of everything that happened in 2017. But, you know, again, this is an opportunity.

I know it's not the try hard league. I get that. And Clinton Hurtle used to do that all the time. But this is an opportunity for these guys to, you know, continue to work on their craft. And again, the daughters are still in first place. I mean, if we were, you know, if we didn't have a 70. game lead in the division, I would think it would be a little bit more problematic, but you still have an opportunity and enough space in the division to be able to kind of hit

these types of lulls or hit these types of, you know, these adversity, be able to get your way through it. But yeah, I mean, He'son Kim, Hassan Kim was a highlight real defensively. We knew that going into the season that he was good defensively. It was more about the bat. That's why they started him in AAA and he finally got the call up. I'm more pissed, I think, that Andy Pahas didn't make the freaking All-Star game. I understand. It's hard in the outfield, but whatever. Remember when I wanted to send him to the moon?

I don't want to send him to the moon. We don't need to talk about that. But again, let's talk about before we welcome in DJ Severe, who's the unbelievable DJ for the Dodgers at Dodgers Stadium. I love, I love him so much. But there's help on the way, right? Tyler Glass now is coming back, starting for the team on Wednesday. I mean, that's a big deal.

That is a massive deal. Tyler Glasnow exists. It's going to throw a baseball for the major league version of the Los Angeles Dodgers. That is fun. That is an adult in the starting rotation that puts guys back where they belong. Ben Casperius is able to go back into the bullpen where they need some help. Let's be honest. They could use an arm, another right-handed arm at the back end of the bullpen.

Everybody just kind of settles into a good role. A couple of moves look like they're being made today as well. Dodgers calling up right-handed flamethrower. Julian Fernandez. He'll be making his Dodgers debut, did pitch for the Rockies back in 2021. Don't look at those numbers. Not very good. Also, breaking – I got a button for this.

I'm going to push it right here because we've got breaking news as well. This is incredible news. James Altman is with the Dodgers. This is from Jack Harris just a couple minutes ago. With the Dodgers at – I guess they don't call it Miller Park. Milwaukee. Yeah, whatever it is called. Miller Park.

Call it Miller Park. But that could mean an Edmund to the IL move, could mean to Aska Hernandez to the IL move, or could mean maybe they're a little bit out on estuary Ruiz, who has had a little bit of an opportunity, but was a panic call up after the Muncie injury. But beyond that, Snell Trin, they are getting closer to coming back and helping this team. So All-Star break needs to get here already, man. No doubt.

No doubt. And we're there. I mean, we're a week away. So you and I are having a wrap-up show for the first half of the season on Sunday, and we're doing Dodgers Post game on Sunday, too. But yeah, we need to, we need a break. This team definitely needs a blow, except those guys, obviously, going to the All-Star game, but it's not like you're having to play in an actual real game.

All right, he is the best in the business, and it is not even close. I have known DJ Severe, of course, the music director for the Los Angeles Dodgers for many, many years. And he is the reason, one of the reasons that Dodger Stadium is an entertainment place. It's not just a place for baseball. It's a fun place to be.

He's tremendous at what he does. And I've always wanted to ask you these questions. So DJ, thank you so much for being with us. I need one of those Ice Cube bubbleheads. So please hook up a girl. I appreciate that very much. 16th season as the team's musical director. I mean, that's pretty incredible.

How does one become the official DJ of the Los Angeles Dodgers? How did you do this? Wow. So back in 2007, 8, I had a buddy. who was the Levy manager at the very bottom in the dugout club. And he asked me to come in and DJ before the games and after, just in the dugout club. And I did that during the season.

It's right when we got Manny Ramirez. So they were trying to change the vibe up. And so I came in and I mixed into pregame. And after the game, saw the game. It was just great vibes. It was meeting like Tiger Woods. It was crazy. And then there was another DJ who I guess was doing the other parts of the stadium and he was kind of getting kind of prima don't even know his name and they asked me could I bring in more a DJ so I got a bunch of my DJ friends and we were at one point time we were on every level at the Dodgers Stadium whenever you could stick a DJ I had one of my friends there and I started doing more work for the Dodgers themselves and the year that the DJ horned the burr-p-p-p-pher came out I was doing the they had a they had a they had a

like a scavenger hunt on the field. And I was playing the heck out of that horn because it was brand new. And the guy who had just, his name is Damon, he had just got hired as to producer. He came over and asked me, could I send him that sound effect? And about two months later, I was in New York on vacation. And he emailed me and I sent him the sound effect. And I asked him, what are any openings? And he said, as a matter of fact, we're looking for a DJ.

Are you interested? And I said, yeah, because that was always been my goal to be the DJ. And so I shut down my vacation. went home, prepared. I put up all my picks that had at the stadium that I met people in the different events and just totally prepared myself. I knew I was just kind of like, this is what I wanted to do. So I came back home, interview once. They gave me a bunch of scenarios and sent me home and I interviewed again like two weeks. I practiced all these scenarios. Like, what do you do? Bottom of a ninth, we're down, so on and so on. So I went home. I was just working on all these, working on all these just. different scenarios and came into the interview. They didn't even go with me. They were like, we were just messing with you. We're going to give it to you anyway because you've been around here for so long. Everybody loves you.

And so I got it. Been there ever since. Hey, that's a good way to end up getting the gig. I was like, oh, we're just playing. You got it anyway. Yeah, yeah, it was crazy. You mentioned the vibes. I've called you time and time again in the years that we have spoken on these sort of

platforms. You're the vibe master there at Dodger Stadium. Obviously, not a good feeling coming out of a sweep. against the Astros. Help us cleanse the palate for everybody. If you have, this is going to be a random one, but if you had one jam, just to kind of, you can see how white I am, I called it a jam, but even so.

You're trying to change the vibes. The team's getting on a plane, flying to Milwaukee. Not the best of, well, good homestand first half, bad homestand, second half. What's the song, let's forget everything, let's just start grooving, have a good time on this flight. You know what, yesterday,

towards the end, when it kind of seemed like it was just going, like, bad. And, you know, I always tell people I always have to be on when the team is not on and obviously they weren't on like this whole weekend. So I just kept it simple on the Sunday vibes. And you can say jam, but I call them bops. So I went with Boogie Wonderland and it kind of like everybody was still partying. You know what I mean? It fits the Sunday afternoon atmosphere.

It's enough old school with enough like new school. So I just went with Boogie Wonderland. And everybody still was very active on the screens. So it works out perfect. You know what I mean? Towards the end of the day. And it's a Sunday afternoon. That's what you do.

Yes. That's right. Let me, so this is the question that I've had before, and I know a lot of the fans listening and actually Dave Luna on our chat wants to know this. How do you, a lot of folks think that you pick the songs for the starting lineup, but it's actually the players, I believe, that pick the songs that they want when they walk out to those songs. So how does that go, how does that go down? Okay, so it goes down a couple different ways. The, like the players I'm really close with, like the Monseys, Um, they kind of, they'll text me directly and we'll, like me and we'll, we'll go back and forth and he'll say, man, this has to work. When he was in a slump, we were texting back and forth for a minute. He'll text me directly. Um, sometimes they'll, they'll give players, like when Tommy, Evan first came over, he got my number and then he texts me directly. So it just depends. Um, most of the time it goes through PR, through like Juan, Juan will send the, like, the message up.

Um, and then I can kind of like, I, I can kind of like, I. I kind of get sense when they're going to change because I watch the games on the road and actually go on the road. So I can always sense when they're about to change up. And then when I see him walking around, like I'll see Will. Will, his wife picks all his songs. So I always know, like, she really loves hip-hop. Will's, yeah. Will, when I see Will, Will, it's like, I don't know.

My wife picks. So she picks all his songs. And the pictures is funny because pictures, they pick a song and they normally don't. changed because Clayton's had the same song like for years, but every now and then I'll mix in his batting song, which when he was still batting was no scrubs by TLC. So it just depends. Most of the time it comes from PR and but usually like I say, if I have a good relationship with the players, like Max, they'll just text me directly because they don't like to, they just like to tell me directly, see if I like it, what you think, and then we kind of have conversations back and forth.

Hey, this one. And then how do you decide what portion of the song you choose? Like because some of it is, There's vulgarities and son. Like, how do you pick what part of the song you actually play? Right. So I usually look at what they, especially if it's like Kiki or Rojas, which is always Bad Bunny, which is always like spanglish anyway. So you can't really tell like what they say. So I'll have someone preview it for me to see if it fits.

And they're usually good about picking the spot that doesn't really say anything. So they kind of like know their own editing and pick their spots as perfect as they can do. and then if I need to for sake of sound or the right person hit, sometimes I'll adjust it a couple seconds, but they're usually spot on. I got one for you. This is for me, and I know a few people, who are we to judge an MVP? But can we talk about Shohei and maybe changing that walk-up song? I just think it's a vibe killer.

Great song, the Michael Bouble, you know, feeling good. We need something a little bit more spicy for Shohei Otani. What do you think? Can we put into text? We put in a request to maybe him, maybe Mamiko. How do we make this work? Decoy making the decisions. You know what?

Actually, I'm not going to lie, I kind of felt the same way at first. But the way that I've grown used to it and that the fans have grown used to it, like the way we drop it. And then when I get out, right, the start my time, and Dieter kind of carries under it a little bit. I think it works perfect. So I don't want to mess with it at all. I love it.

And then it's more recognizable now. That's actually the first one that he actually. picked his first the last year when he had the lupé fiasco he didn't pick that they just kind of like everybody was trying to figure out what to play for him and and they wanted they were looking for any song that says show so that's it originally his only song that he picked so i actually love it and i think the fans like it too because you can hear the crowd just go crazy when it when it just starts off i mean it helps i mean i think they're going crazy because oh hey o'd let's be honest let me ask you a question somebody somebody was asking what it was like to

work alongside Deeter Rule, who's obviously the organist at Daughter Stadium. I know you guys have a very close relationship. You have to be in tune with what one another is doing. You guys do such an amazing job of having your own scene and your own vibe and you never step on each other. How does that relationship go? Oh, yeah, me and Deeter, he's like, I say we're like right arm, left arm, because we know each other without even talking about what we need to do. Like, I sit in front of him, so he's behind me, and we have a headset on that we kind of communicate with each other. Very rarely do we need to say, well, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that. I know exactly when he's going to play.

I know exactly when, if he's not playing, that I should jump in, and then we kind of tap each other and say, hey, yeah, yeah, I'm ready to go. So it takes the rhythm is we're both kind of musicians, and we grew up in music, so you kind of know when he's going to crescendo. up and then when he's going to come down, and you just have to be prepared. It's so, it's actually kind of spooky how we're on the same kind of like talent wave. Because sometimes I don't even know how easily we do it because it's just like natural.

And every now and then we'll come in and we'll talk about a couple different things and we'll compliment each other on how you like this. We do things so seamless sometimes, it really impresses me. You know what, but Dita's the best. but Dita's the best. And then, like, just, me not stepping on him because I know where, what his lane is and then him's not stepping on me is perfect. You never know what we're both going to come up with.

And then he'll, like, if we want to, if we have something special plan, like, he'll say, I got this and I'll say, like, kind of I got this. And then he'll compliment me when I do something that, that kind of like accentuates the game and say vice versa with him. But, yeah, love, work, us working together. You know what I appreciate the love that we get because people say we're the best in MLB at doing it. So I appreciate that.

You know, it is. It's a super group. You know, you guys, your musicians at heart, and obviously, Dieter in his own right, I don't know if you play any sort of musical instruments. We know he gets down on the keys, but that's what you are. You guys are just musicians feeling the groove, and it's very apparent. I say it time and time again, there's nowhere better to watch a ball game than Dodger Stadium. It's been that way for the last decade plus, been that way even before then. But what I wanted to ask you is how have things kind of changed since. going back to an Otani question since Shohei Otani joined this team because now just about every single day you got 50,000 instead of the usual 45,000. How insane is it in this Otani era? You know, there's never a law now. Like I would say even though I'm always standing up, but it's like my mind is always going. And I think the thing I do different is now I used to I used to kind of just kind of like wing it. Like okay, see how I'd come in and kind of get the feeling. But this now, now, before I'll think about it more and I'll make it like a pre-list of like maybe 26 songs that I know I'm going to play based off of the script. So I'll kind of put it together and then kind of like visualize the game more now in certain scenarios than I did before. I like to let it come to me and just kind of work through it. But still I like to do a little bit of planning before, especially for something like the debacle that we had with the worst loss. You know, so you try to want to have like a lot.

I don't want to have to think at that point time. I'd rather kind of have some things kind of like laid out for whichever where we're going to go. But as far as it being like every night is like 50,000. I think this year we hit, we broke our, we hit our attendance record way earlier than we had before. And you can sense it. It's just different kinds of fans coming in and then the different types of variations that we do with like the anime and the Hala Live different things you're doing. So I've had to kind of like learn different things and different musics and no no shot on the music that's out today, but there's really not a lot to work with. So I'm having to search a little bit more to find stuff. But it's actually giving me a chance to bring back more old school like the boogie one of that because it fits. And it's it has an audience of ears that are used to it. It has an audience of ears that don't really get that much good music anymore. So I welcome the part to to bring in the old school and then we're kind of bring everybody. together during the game.

What do you say to the people that are like, Dodger's stadium is too loud? Oh. Yeah. I was having a conversation with somebody about that. And it's it's, it, they don't realize that we turn it up on certain, certain series, because we have that, that crowd advantage. And when you, when I go across the country and you meet to other players, they love it. You know, it's just those, the, the different fans.

And I get it. get it. Some places is louder than others. And in the press box, they always talk around, but I always blame it. Or I don't blame it. I just say, I'm just a DJ. I just ship the music. I don't turn up the volume. So it is what it is. But it's to our advantage. And our system, like, I've gone through, I've gone to, usually I travel, or I'm not travel, but I'll check out other stadiums during the season. And there was only other one system that I thought came close to ours and it was an old Oakland Coliseum,

but it's now gone. But their system kind of was close to ours. But nobody else sounds as good as ours and why not use it if it's our home field advantage? We have to take advantage of it. Because to me, especially in playoffs, like I've always been a Dodger fan, always been a big playoff baseball fan.

Even if we're not in playoffs, which is very rare, I watch every game because I just love how baseball goes from silence to just off the crack of a bat, just to crowd roaring and to be able to accent the music on top of that with the bass that we have and whatever song we use, because our system works with whatever, rock, hip-hop, pop country, everything bangs there. So it's just to our advantage. And it's like, I'm sorry, but if you really want it, I mean, everybody needs to change their stadium and step it up because we can all do it, you know, that's just, that's their

home fit advantage. And the players love it. All the players love it. Yeah, and it's something fun about the rumble in your seat there at Dodger Stadium. stadium, nowhere rocks harder than that. Speaking of rocks, you got some rings. Another ring added to the collection from last year. How about that bad boy?

Hey, you know, if you're going to send along that Ice Cube head, maybe send the bobblehead, maybe send one of those, Lana, and then I could live vicariously through that. But obviously, you post this not too long ago on your social. Hey, double rings, feeling good, going for number three this year. Which ring, in your opinion, has a little bit more flash, a little bit more flare, which is nicer. You know, this year, the

goal just really pops. And I think this one kind of sort of, it takes the way the excuse everybody was given us that we had a half, you know, halfway season. You know what I mean? So this one is like special.

Even though the other one's special too, because we 2020 was a special within itself. But I think it just silenced all the haters that said we didn't really do it. Because I mean, I got tired of arguing that, just like I get tired of, like, arguing everything. I mean, you play your season. Everybody had to play the same season where the 2020, in your mind, is a half season.

But the way we did it last year with all the injuries and just the way Doc managed the team during the playoffs. Because I went to the games in San Diego. I went to the games in New York. I went to the games at the Yankees. And just the way that Doc managed the team with the injuries that we had to, the bullpenes, I was masterful to me. So it was, this ring means a lot. You know what else means a lot is just your tie, obviously, to Los Angeles.

And more specifically, Alta Dina and Pasadena. And I know that you and a lot of your family members went through a horrific situation when the fires hit about six, seven months ago. And I know that you've really tried to do stuff in the community to rebuild. So tell us more about those efforts and how we can assist as Altadena and, Pasadena and Los Angeles tries to rebuild. Yeah, we, well, so in my immediate family, we lost about nine homes. My grandmother, who just turned 100 on the third, she only lost her garage, but every home around her is gone. And that my childhood home, which she used to own across the street, is burned to the ground.

So with, but with all within me and my friends, probably about 110 homes that, that we lost. But thankfully, all my family, we've had, none of us have any, like, insurance issues. Everything's coming. We don't have any nightmares. Everybody's kind of like, even though they're displaced and they're not in their homes, everyone is comfortable and set on rebuilding. The community is strong. It's always been a strong community.

We've always loved each other and taken care of each other. My family does a, we have a setup at my grandmother's, my other grandmother who passed away, Maggie Love, we have a constant drop-off center at First AME church. We have a constant drop-off center where we're taking and stuff on a daily. We're still feeding the community. We're giving water. We're giving food. My aunts are there cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner from every day.

And it's just been going every day. And just the constant attention that we get and the people that reach out to see if we need anything on a daily basis, It's still going on because although it's not in the news as much anymore, there's still people trying to recover from everything that they lost. So it's definitely it's definitely been an outpouring and we feel the love. Alta Dina strong and I know that you and your family, despite that hardship, are doing so much to get Alta Dina back to where it used to be, the great community that it is and that it will be again.

Promos. All right, guys, I just want to reintroduce you to Morgan. This little lady was found roaming around outside of a bar in San Diego, Texas. So she's located in Texas, but you can see that picture there. She is full of mange. She had a lot of wounds, a lot of scabs, overgrown toenails. I mean, just severely, severely neglected. The good news is she is in a medical foster now, and we got to get her healthy, right?

We got to get her skin better. We got to make her happy. What we really could use is some items off of her wish lists. She's not close to being adopted yet. She's not ready. But we could definitely need some donations, or you can go to our social page and go to her Amazon wish list and send her some stuff for her skin. She needs toys.

She also needs some treats. so please consider helping Morgan go to giddreysguardian.org. All right, Clint, what's coming up on all Dodgers with Clint Pesias? Well, we got an earlier day today for the Dodgers earlier game. So that means a nice, not super late post game. We will be live after the game, I believe myself. My buddy, Jeff Snyder and Kevin Skinner will be live talking about hopefully a Dodger win. We are going to be talking about a Dodger win.

All right, baseball thought for the road. I love this by Commissioner Rob Manfred selecting Clayton Kershaw as the legend pick. I mean, that's just that's the right thing to do, right? It's Clayton's 11th All-Star game, I believe. But I mean, incredibly deserving. The man's a legend. Yeah. I'll err on the side of being positive about it.

I don't know. It feels a little bit like a participation award. But I guess at the same time, dude just hit the 3,000 strikeout mark in his career. That is something special. That is something likely that will never happen again in baseball. So that should mean something. I don't think Clayton is ready to hang up the spikes just yet. And it feels to me like a couple years ago with, you know, Miggi Cabrera and Albert Pujols, we knew it was their last season. So having this commissioner's pick had a little bit more weight to it. But either way to say Clayton Kershaw is an 11-time All-Star just adds.

heading to the pile of things that will be on that Cooperstown plaque five years after he does officially hang it up. It's special. I wish he did it more on having a phenomenal year and a billion strikeouts and all that kind of stuff. But we'll take what we can get. How dare you. He's a legend. He deserves it. I have absolutely no problem with this. Congratulations, obviously, to Yamamoto as well, who was selected as well. And of course, I I think Pahas should have been there, but it's a very crowded outfield in the National League. So I guess I can understand why he's not. Yeah, it's already a lot of Dodger representation and the whole thing.

Everybody needs to have a, you know, at least one member of their ball club. That's stupid. Hopefully they do something. Do away with that. I doubt they do. But it is what it is. But good series coming up in Milwaukee. You do have Yama.

You do have Kershaw and then Glasnow making his return. And so we need an angry win. That's what I would love to see. You've got to stop the bleeding right here and nobody better than Yoshinobu Yamamoto to play the stopper. Yeah, Yamamoto going up against Freddie Peralta will be a good matchup. That's going to do it for us.

Clint is doing post game tomorrow. I don't know who you have on. It's not me. Oh, are you not here? Oh, crap. This is good news for me to find out. Yeah, so I don't know who you're doing it with. I'm back next week.

Or not yet next week because it's all-star break but the week after for post game. But anyway, you also have this coming Thursday? No, I'm here. Oh, okay. Gotcha. I'm here. Just post game tomorrow.

I can't. My people will talk to your people after we're done. Yeah, have your people call my people. We'll get it all squared away. You guys, thanks for being with us. Don't forget to like and subscribe. Clint, we'll be back with you on post tomorrow, and then we're both back together on Thursday.
