| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the latest edition of The Audible, presented by Trader Joe's. |
| 0:25.7 | I am Bruce Feldman. |
| 0:27.4 | My colleague Stuart Mandel is taking a much-needed vacation. |
| 0:31.9 | So without Stu, I am turning to another colleague of mine, at least on the TV side. |
| 0:36.8 | He is Joe Davis, who is the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers, |
| 0:40.7 | but also calls college football for Fox Sports, as well as college basketball, |
| 0:48.0 | and some MLB. |
| 0:51.0 | Joe has an interesting background, so he grew up in the heart of Big Ten country. He actually |
| 0:56.2 | was a former college quarterback, which makes him kind of a little bit of a unicorn as it relates |
| 1:02.7 | to play-by-play people who do football. And I thought we would talk a little bit about the craft |
| 1:08.4 | of broadcasting. It's shifting gears a little. We're going to talk a little bit of college football, but also I really wanted to get into something a little different because I just think that you listen to broadcasters, and this went for me as well as a longtime college football fan. |

| 1:40.2 | perspective not just as a college football guy but also as a Dodgers voice would also be |
| 1:46.9 | interesting for a lot of people, because there's a lot of folks who grow up wanting to be |
| 1:52.1 | announcers and for somebody who's living their dream and what they dream to do, I thought it would |
| 1:57.6 | be cool to hear from him. So we will get to Joe now. |
| 2:03.7 | Okay, and now I'm pleased to be joined by my guests and my colleague from Fox Sports, |
| 2:10.0 | Joe Davis. |
| 2:11.5 | Joe, thank you for joining us on the Audible today. |
| 2:14.7 | Bruce, any time I get to spend with you is good time, so of course. |
