KFI AM 640. You're listening to the John Cobell podcast on the IHeart Radio app.

Doug McIntyre in for John Cubboldt on the John Cubboldt show.

And I will be back here at KFI on December 27th, 8th, and 9th in for Gary and Shannon.

Hopefully I'll get paid for both of them, right?

I mean, I'm doing the work of two people, seriously.

Anyway, happy to have you with us.

And at 4 o'clock, Chris Merrill in for Timmy.

And if you are heading out of town, I hope you have a great Christmas and a happy new year.

And you don't

you don't have too many problems at the airport or the roads wherever the hell you're going.

This hour, lots to talk about including California. Here we go for the third year in a row.

We've lost population. We'll get into that. And a possible merger between the giant

studios, Warner Brothers and Paramount. What could that mean here in

Hollywood as if we haven't had enough bad news this year as it is? The Dodgers have had nothing

but good news. It has been a fine offseason, obviously scoring the big fish, which was

Shohei Otani, and then getting Tyler Glassnow as a free agent and locking him up for a big deal.

And now adding the highly prized free agent from Japan to add to the starting rotation, Mr. Yamamoto coming to join the Dodger staff.

And joining us right now to talk about this is Mr. Sports here in Southern California.

Fred Rogan. Fred, how are you?

Doug, I'm doing well.

Let me just say this.

I heard that you suggested that perhaps you should be paid twice when you're telling for Gary and Shannon.
