Travis, how are you doing out there in California? I'm doing well. It's kind of a, it's a tough day, I think, because I'm bringing back some memories a year ago, we, uh, Kobe past.

I was heading home from our beautiful trip to spring training and found out about it on the way in the plane on the way home and things really haven't been the same since.

So it's, it's interesting to, you know, kind of look back and see what happened after that. But, um, a lot of people posting tributes about Kobe today, which is kind of cool to see I'm decked out in my Kobe gear.

But, you know, RIP Kobe, Gianna, everybody else that was on board tough, tough day. How was a year ago? Yeah, I will, if you, if you would have made me guess, honestly, I probably would have said three months.

It wasn't, it wasn't spring training. I was coming back from twins fest. Excuse me. I misspoke there. Yeah, so, so to head back home.

I was at a time where were you moment? I, uh, I was still in Denver. Um, I was at a friend's child's B day party and it was just like this delightful event and then, uh, open the phone and it was like holy smokes.

So yeah, it's, uh, Kobe and coming up on the COVID anniversary, there's going to be a lot of weird, uh, you know, New Year's is normally the weird year reflection.

Uh, we're going to have some more of that coming up. Oh, and by the way, baseball hot in the streets, 10. So hot, you could crack an egg, make an omelet on the pavement. Oh, bad taste though. Don't do that.

It's my favorite scene from Father of the bride. I think it's Father of the bride to driveway omelet critically acclaimed.

You have your scene, you would like it because Martin short's amazing and I don't know. It doesn't seem like a movie that's up your alley, Father of the bride to.

Travis, your big father of the bride fan. No, I'm not. That's a Steve Martin thing. I feel like I don't appreciate him as much as I should, but I think I'm a little too young for that.

Which you guys are younger than me. So I don't know. I mean, Steve. Yeah. Well, we'll get back to baseball, but appreciate Steve Martin. It's hilarious. Uh, okay. Thank you. I do appreciate him. I know he's funny.

Okay. Okay. Awesome. Also early gray head. So obviously, I am kinship with him. Let's start with the red socks. They made some trades. They picked up some guys. Trev.
