WEBVTT - Rain Delay Dodger Talk (4-5-26) 

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>The quest for the three peat has begun.

0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:11.520
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 2>the fifth.

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>This is World Champion Dodger Talk. Here we go again.

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:16.239

<v Speaker 1>Get your podcasts. Here's your host, David Vase.

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 2>We are live at Nationals Park as we are waiting

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.880
<v Speaker 2>first pitch between the Dodgers and Nationals in the final

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 2>game of this three game series. Right now, the rain

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 2>is still falling here in our nation's capitol, and the

0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 2>groundscrew is extensive here.

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 1>It's not like Dodgers Stadium.

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.919
<v Speaker 2>They got a lot of people here because of this

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 2>type of weather that shows up virtually seemingly every time

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers come to town and when they leave town,

0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>the weather still is a wildcart and it comes to

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 2>playing baseball in Washington, d C. They're squeezing the tarp

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 2>right now as trying to get some of that water

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.679
<v Speaker 2>off the tarp as the rain continues to fall. And yesterday,

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 2>as I was standing next to the Dodger dugout waiting

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 2>to go on the field to interview the player of

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:19.320
<v Speaker 2>the game, Freddie Freeman.

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to some of.

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 2>The ground Screw people and I said, Oh, what do

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 2>you think we're gonna play tomorrow?

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Not play tomorrow?

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 2>They said, ah, the rain stop said three thirty Eastern times,

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 2>So it seems like they were right on point. I

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.479
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't expect this game to start on this beautiful easter

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Sunday anytime before twelve.

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>O'clock Pacific time.

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 2>From the people that know the most, and that's the

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>ground Screw, they have a whole radar system set up

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>here in Philadelphia at National's Park. It serious business to

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 2>try to figure out the rain patterns here on the

0:01:55.720 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 2>East Coast. And speaking of that, talking to people that

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 2>are in the know in Major League Baseball, even the

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Yankees and Red Sox are looking at the weather and

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 2>may have a rain delay because the rain that's here

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 2>in Washington, DC is stretching out all across the eastern seaboards.

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 2>So there's rain on the East Coast in different and

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 2>affecting different games.

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:21.799
<v Speaker 1>As well.

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 2>As far as the Dodgers go, nothing is changing pitching wise,

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.959
<v Speaker 2>Roki Sasaki will make the start today whenever this game

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 2>is underway. Tomorrow, Justin Robleski will start for the Dodgers

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 2>in Toronto. Remember Justin pitched in five different World Series

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 2>games last year and did not give up a single run.

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>So he'll be back on the mound in Toronto.

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers will be back in Toronto tomorrow, and everybody

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:57.359
<v Speaker 2>is anticipating that. You heard our interview with Justin earlier today. Look,

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 2>we are all excited. The fans in Toronto are going

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 2>to be very excited, and certainly the Dodgers are ready

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 2>to go when it comes to going back to Toronto

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 2>and getting ready to play that game, play that series.

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 2>And like Rick Monday and I were talking about, yes,

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 2>you're excited, I'm excited. The players are, I would say,

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to this. But it's not going to change

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.919
<v Speaker 2>anything that happened last October between the Dodgers and Blue Jays.

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers are the back to back World Series champions.

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 2>But you know, this is a rare occurrence where you

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 2>go back to the same place where you won the

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 2>World Series, whether it's the Dodgers or any other team.

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Take for instance, last year it was the Yankees turn

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>to come to LA and the Dodgers did not go

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>back to Yankee Stadium last year after winning the World

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Series in the Bronx, So this is definitely great scheduling

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 2>by Major League Baseball. No knowing that the Dodgers were

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 2>going to Toronto this year. To have the Dodgers going

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>back to Rogers Center on the first road trip of

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 2>the season certainly was good scheduling. And there is going

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:18.719
<v Speaker 2>to be national televised games Tuesday is TBS.

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow, Fox Sports one.

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>So look, even this early in the season, when baseball

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 2>isn't really on the national TV platform middle of the week,

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:29.919
<v Speaker 2>you're finding ways to get them on.

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:31.679
<v Speaker 1>So it's gonna be awesome.

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Robleski tomorrow, Yamamoto Tuesday, and show hey Otani in the

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 2>finale of the three game series in Toronto, and all

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 2>three of these pitchers played a pivotal role in the

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 2>World Series. I mean, honestly, Otani does not have great

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 2>memories of pitching in Toronto because he gave up that

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.920
<v Speaker 2>three run home run to Bob Bishett And I can't

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.040
<v Speaker 2>think of a time that I ever saw Otani look

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.480
<v Speaker 2>defeated on the mound. Then I saw when he gave

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 2>up that three run home run to Bob Baschetti was

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:09.600
<v Speaker 2>doubled over and that made you feel a little bit

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.479
<v Speaker 2>in doubt that are the Dodgers going to be able

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 2>to pull out this Game seven victory, especially when they're

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>seemingly superhero superhuman player was made to look human for the.

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 1>First time in a long time in a Dodger uniform.

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 2>I would say, honestly, that was the only time in

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>the two years that Otani has been with the Dodgers

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 2>that you could say it was a deflating moment, and somehow,

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 2>some way, the Dodgers were able to come back. You know,

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 2>one one play, couple of plays involving Max Muncy that

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.919
<v Speaker 2>goes unnoticed in Game seven as well, was when Andris

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 2>and Menez was at the plate and they took the

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.160
<v Speaker 2>bunt playoff. There was a runner at second base, I

0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 2>can't remember who it was. Runner at second base laid

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 2>in the game and they could have had an insurance

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 2>run there and they chose not to bun. Instead, Jim

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Menez hit a rocket right at Munsey. He made the catch,

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>and if you go back and watch the replay of

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>that line drive catch by Moncie he's even shaking his

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 2>head and say, wow, that was a screamer right at

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 2>me an insure two to away from his glove. That's

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.920
<v Speaker 2>a base hit to left field and a run scores,

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 2>and maybe more so, I heard Dave Roberts say this

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 2>again this morning to Nationals broadcaster. There were so many

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 2>pressure point moments that the Dodgers were fortunate to have

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 2>go their way in Game six and Game seven. So look,

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 2>it was one of those World Series that the Dodgers,

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, had a lot of had somebody from above

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 2>looking out for him because there were so many plays

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 2>that could have gone against them in Game six and

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.039
<v Speaker 2>Game seven, and somehow.

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Some way it went their way.

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 2>And here they are, back to back World Series champions

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 2>and arguably a better team than they were a year ago.

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Now a year older as well.

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 2>And that brings us to Mookie Betts, who we've talked

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 2>about extensively already today. But the MRI results showed a

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 2>strained right oblique and you heard Steven Nelson mention that

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 2>he was talking to Mooki about it on the bus

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 2>and Mooki reminded him that he went through this in

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighteen when he won his won and only MVP

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 2>award in the American League, and that was his best

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 2>season in baseball. I'm looking back at some of the

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 2>stories when he did strain his oblique.

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>First of all, it was on the other side.

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 2>It was his left obliquees aside that he strained back

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 2>in twenty eighteen and he missed two weeks. So if

0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 2>history is any indication of how long Mooki Bets may

0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 2>be out with this right oblique strain, at least two weeks.

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 2>And the Dodger called hey Sung Kim, and he is

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be part of the mix at shortstop. Dave

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Roberts said he's gonna basically shift the platoon that he

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 2>had at second base, and Alex Friedland now is going

0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 2>to get a lot of time against right He's and

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 2>lefties at second base, and he's going to platoon at

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 2>shortstop with Kim and Rojas.

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Today, Rojas is.

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>In the starting lineup, and I can't wait to see

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 2>the reception Rojas gets in Toronto tomorrow when his name

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 2>is introduced. I really hope he's in the starting lineup

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow in Toronto. So Rojas is in there today, and

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 2>really that's the biggest question now. You can handle defensively

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 2>figuring out shortstop for the Dodgers with Rojas especially, and

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 2>mixing and Kim here and there. But now who's going

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.439
<v Speaker 2>to hit third for the Dodgers. That's a big spot

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 2>in the order. Is it going to be Taoscar Hernandez

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 2>like he is today?

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Is it going to be Will Smith? That would be

0:08:58.720 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 1>my choice.

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I would have hitting third and Pahz or te Oscar

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:08.200
<v Speaker 2>hitting fifth behind Freddie Freeman against right handed pitching. But

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Paz is the hottest hitter in this Dodger lineup and

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 2>arguably in major League Baseball.

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:16.959
<v Speaker 1>He's hitting five hundred and he's.

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Played all eight games, three home runs, ten RBIs, And

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.479
<v Speaker 2>the biggest thing that stands out to me about Paz

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 2>is the fact that, yes, he's struck out five times,

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 2>but I mean he's only walked once, but he only

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 2>has five strikeouts. And Jose Motive brought this up during

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:38.720
<v Speaker 2>the postgame show yesterday. The fact that Piz is seeing

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.840
<v Speaker 2>more pitches per at bat than we saw last year.

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.320
<v Speaker 2>That's all a sign of maturity and also trying to

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 2>figure out what works best for Paz. Don't try to

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 2>change him and turn him into Max Munsey where he's

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.760
<v Speaker 2>going to see nine or ten pitches and walk.

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 1>That's not him.

0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 2>And Jose even mentioned to us that he's getting less information.

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Some guys don't want all that information.

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 2>In fact, Kyle Tucker told me in spring training he's

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 2>more along the lines of less is more when it

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 2>comes to information. Don't overload me with information, don't overload

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 2>me with all this technology stuff. I'm more towards the

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman spectrum of hitting. And Freddie does not, you know,

0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:26.080
<v Speaker 2>take twenty thousand swings in the cage. He's in there for,

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, probably a good fifteen to twenty minutes, not

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 2>overdoing it.

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 1>And that's the type of guy Tucker is as well.

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 2>And Tucker is getting the day off today as well,

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 2>scheduled day off, so Tucker sits and Mooki is on

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:45.520
<v Speaker 2>the IL. So the Dodgers starting lineup today is Otani Rojas,

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Teoscar Hernandez, Freddie Freeman, Andy Paez, Alex call who is

0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 2>making a second straight start. Max Munsey gets a scheduled

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 2>day off as well. Santiago Espinal is in there against

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 2>the lefty Foster Griffin. Dalton Rushing is making his first

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.839
<v Speaker 2>start of the year behind the plate and Alex Freeland

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 2>in there against Griffin and he'll be hitting from the

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 2>right side. Freeland is a switch hitter. So that's the

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers order today. Whenever this game gets underway, and it

0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 2>will get played, nobody wants to come back here.

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Just get this.

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:22.960
<v Speaker 2>If you have to wait a little bit longer, you're

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna wait a little bit longer. The flight to Toronto

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 2>is going to be a little bit later. But it

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 2>feels like everybody's prepared now to hang in there for

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 2>at least the next two hours before this rain starts

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.720
<v Speaker 2>to head out of Washington, DC. Hope you're having a

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 2>great Easter Sunday. This was one of my favorite holidays.

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:47.679
<v Speaker 2>I remember my uncle Sal who hosted Easter Sunday at

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 2>his house every year when I was growing up. He

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 2>had company tickets to Dodger games, and the schedule would

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 2>come out, and back then, opening Day wasn't until April,

0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 2>so Easter would fall right around the Dodgers wrapping up

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>spring training in Vero Beach, and I would have my

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 2>pocket schedule out and I would circle, you know, a

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>handful of games and in the middle of our Easter Sunday, celebration.

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Uncle Sal would take me to the driveway where his

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>car was parked. He popped the trunk where he had

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 2>his tickets and he's he would ask me, all right,

0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 2>which games do you want? And he would hook up

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 2>some reserve level tickets for me. And I usually would

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.960
<v Speaker 2>bring my cousin or my uncle, my other uncle Ray,

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 2>because I couldn't drive. I needed somebody to take me

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 2>to the game. My mom was working, and you know,

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I needed somebody to take me to the game. So

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 2>those are the type of memories that baseball gives you,

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 2>especially on holidays like this on Easter Sunday. So hopefully

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.080
<v Speaker 2>you have an Uncle Sal somewhere in your life that

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 2>will pop the trunk for you and give you his

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 2>company tickets.

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.559
<v Speaker 1>Don't be too greedy, though, Don't be too greedy.

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.760
<v Speaker 2>I actually left a couple of surprises for my kids

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 2>back home tops baseball cards, put together an Easter egg

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.679
<v Speaker 2>and inside a pack of cards, so I surprise the

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 2>kids with that. Easter is actually one of my favorite holidays,

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe for those memories. Fourth of July is another one

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 2>of my favorite holidays as well. I'll take Fourth of

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 2>July and Easter any day over Thanksgiving.

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm a big lamb guy. I love lamb.
