| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Peter King Podcast. It is the last podcast of the season with my good |
| 0:18.2 | friend Miles Simmons of NBC Sports. Miles we're going to have a good time today as you can see. I am not in my normal |
| 0:29.2 | layer in Brooklyn. I'm actually in Berkeley, California, where my daughter and her wife live and we had a really fun time here. |
| 0:42.3 | My daughter graduated from grad school at Cal on Sunday and we got to see |
| 0:49.5 | grandson Freddie's Little League game on Friday night. So it's really been a nice little long weekend, |
