Dan Hayes  and Matt Hurst joined me for our annual Bucket List football weekend recently. We decided to record a Podcast where we talked about out time as either former newspaper ball scribes (Hurst, myself) or current ball scribe (Hayes).

Between the three of us, we've been the beat reporter for all five California teams and seven total teams, with a combined 25 years of experience.

We discuss our initial "I can't believe they're paying me to do this" moments, the story behind the story of how a few scoops came to fruition, the scoops that got away, what it's like eating with Mike Scioscia, writing two stories about two potential new managers (just in case), and why one of us exited the journalism world.
