• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Hey everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Bucko Territory.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I'm Mark, aka Platinum Key, and joining me as always
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: is my co-host, Josh Harrison, aka Jay Hay. Noah Hiles
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: is usually on here. He's busy today, so you just
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: have to sit here and deal with Josh and I.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: We're recording this Tuesday afternoon prior to the Pirates taking
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: on the San Francisco Giants at PNC Park tonight. So
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: coming off an off day, recording before a game, Figured
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: it might be a good time to ask our co-host
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Josh a few questions from the fan base. So I
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: posted on Twitter, got a couple questions, some really good questions.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And then I'm going to also follow up with just
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a few questions of my own that I think you
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: guys might be interested to hear from Josh. So Josh,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: appreciate you being here, willing to answer some questions for
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the fan base. I know some people are pretty excited,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: so let's get right into it here. All right, our
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: first question. comes to us from nick gonzalez's mustache great
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: name great account on twitter if you haven't followed him
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: yet make sure to drop him a follow and uh
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: nick gonzalez's mustache asks what's your favorite memory as a
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: bucko josh.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Man i've had some pretty cool memories man uh on
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the field off the field really good question because it's
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: kind of hard to narrow down to just one favorite
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: memory when you've had so many great ones um but
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: to name a few, um, one that I'm always adamant
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: about that could potentially be number one probably is, is
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: always my first walk off being on mother's day, uh,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: with my mom and my grandma in the stands. Like
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: that's one that will always be special to me. Um,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: given that I had, I think eight. So first one,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: mom and grandma mother's day, that's always special to me, but.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Do you have the ball from that?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I do not. I do not. Um, but, um, Like,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously got the walk-off home run, breaking up
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the no-hitter.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Then obviously, you know, the playoff runs.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: It's hard to not have those memories because that was
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: so cool to be a part of. And then, you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: obviously signing my contract to be with the Pirates is
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: also another favorite memory because, you know, that's something that
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: was just, you know, history in itself for me and
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: my family and just, you know, allowed for us to,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: you know, call Pittsburgh our second home.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Josh, you mentioned that playoff run, uh, saw
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: an article today from bucko ball, uh, that they mentioned
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that the last time the pirates had a 1% chance
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: in September for the playoffs, which is what they have
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: right now was all the way back in 2016. So
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it's been, yeah, a decade of meaningless baseball in September.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: We finally have that. So yeah, hopefully, uh, some new
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: memories will be made here soon coming up. Um, next
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: question here coming up, uh, It's from Buccos, I guess
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: just Buccos, but Griffin is king, who asks, who is
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: your favorite current Pirates player? I'm intrigued by this one.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I have a couple guesses, but I.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Want to see. So that's another one, like favorite player.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I can't really say. Yeah, you know, they're all my favorite.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: But I will say some guys that I enjoy watching,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: just because– As I said, it's hard to narrow just
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to one guy because I'm looking at a lot of
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: different areas of the game, offense, defense, pitching. And just
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: a couple guys to name. Brandon Lyle has been kind
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: of that even, steady kill. Presence in the locker room,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: in the clubhouse, just kind of kept everybody on that
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: same wavelength. Even O'Hearn, even though he's been hurt when
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: he was there. And somebody that I've enjoyed watching, that
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: even though he's been hurt, getting a lock-in on him
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: was Spencer Horowitz. You know, seeing him take his at-bats. And,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you know, it's enough to go without saying, you know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Brian Reynolds, when he's going right, you know, is a.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Guy that I enjoy watching.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: But, you know, Brandon Lyle just being so even-keeled was
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: one that kind of just stood out to me, especially in–
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: it's probably one of the more mainstays of the guys
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: that I've mentioned this year just due to health.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: And that's not to say that the other guys I
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: don't enjoy watching.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: But, you know, it's refreshing to see somebody kind of
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: have that that, that calming energy that, you know, some
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: of these younger guys, you know, might need just in
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: a moment of, you know, calm down, take it a
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: game at a time. And, um, you know, those are
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: just a couple. And then on the pitching side, obviously Ashcraft, um,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: you know, he's been pretty lights out and especially what
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: he's been doing, you know, here lately, it's been pretty
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: exciting to watch.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: And, um, you know, those are just some guys.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: And I mean, it goes without saying, even though guys,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: people are probably like, Oh man, you know, I enjoy
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: watching Paul. Cause that's, that's, that's an arm that even
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: though it hasn't gone his way so far this year
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: without saying, you know what, when things are clicking, he's
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: a special arm to watch.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Um, yeah. And you know, it's been self.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: The way he goes about his business is yeah.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: It's fun. Yeah. So, I mean, those are just some,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and then last one that I'll leave you with, um,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: It's been a little bit of, you know, not the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: greatest on defense, but Nick Gonzalez, man, you know, has
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: been somebody that even when I was in Pittsburgh, I
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: even told him like, man, what you're doing is not easy.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: You know, a lot has been asked of you and,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: you know, no complaints from him, no excuses. He's showing
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: up every day. So that's another guy, you know, hasn't
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: been the easiest road. And, you know, last one tips
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: off to my boy Mangum.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I was waiting for that one.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: You see, he, he got into a rundown the other day,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: helped get Cruz to second. And I was just sitting
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: there like, if he could beat this out, we have
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the best clip ever. But he still got his job done.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Just wasn't able to, you know, pull off the, the J.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Hey magic and still find out a way to end
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: up advancing.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: So. Hey, he got the guy to advance. That's magic enough. Exactly.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And also to follow up on Lau, I've really appreciated
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: his post game comments as like, this playoff stretch or
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the playoff hopes have faded. I feel like his mentality,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the way he just continued to harp on one game
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: at a time, not get ahead of themselves. I feel
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: like that leadership is really important for this clubhouse, for
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: how young everyone is. Brandon Lau's one, he's been a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: part of a winning culture with the Rays before. And
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: so bringing that over, I think you hit the nail
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: on the head there, Josh, with how, how great he's
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: been and important he's been for this clubhouse. So, Excellent
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: pick as one of your favorite current pirates there. We're
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: going to take a quick break to hear a word
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: from our sponsors, but when we get back, some more
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: questions for Jay Hay.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Kratz, I think what people are seeing on the screen
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: and what we'll explain to the podcast audio crowd right
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: now is how I'm a little summer action with Fabletics,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: and then you take us into fall and a little
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: more layering.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: And here in the east, I'm still going to go
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: to the shore in the fall.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I love the shore in September.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: You come in from the beach and You throw on
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: a sweatshirt like this, it's light, it's breathable, but you
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: know what?
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: It is so comfortable.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and for me, I love working out, but also
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: I'm getting more into tennis, paddle, a little bit of pickleball,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: all that. I want lightweight, breathable, comfortable, and affordable.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about that.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: The discounts for Fabletics are massive when you sign up
• 7:35

  Speaker 4: a new VIP.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: All right. Next question here is coming to us from
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Tea Time, who asks, is Valdez better than you think?
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Which is a a little platinum keyism there. Just someone's
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: better than you think. I like to say the Pirates
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: are better than you think. But I wanted to raise
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: this question to you, Josh, just because Esmeralda Valdez, we
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: talked about him a lot when he was on his
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: hot streak with the OPS over a thousand. Things have
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: kind of cooled down for him a little bit as
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the league's adjusted. And we've seen a lot of strikeouts
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: from him recently, but also he's young. You're going to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: see that as he adjusts. So Do you think Esmeralda
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Valdez is better than we think right now?
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I'm going to sit here and say yes and no,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: just from a simple standpoint of coming into the season,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: don't really know what the expectations for Esmeralda Valdez was.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not to be like on a Jordan level.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: So I say yes and no because, you know, he
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: kind of, I don't want to say flew under the radar, but,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: you know, he hit his way and showed. And when
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: he came up, he obviously showed that there's something there
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: that is, you know, this is.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: A special bat when he's making contact.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: And in this moment, you mentioned young guy doesn't even
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: have a full season under his belt. So there's going
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: to be the ebbs and flows, the ups and downs,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: the adjustments that need to be made up at the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: big league level need to be made a lot faster,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: especially in moments of, okay, in a struggling team, AAA,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: they still might pitch to you.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Major leagues, you know. They're not going to pitch to you.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: And those are all learning curves, learning experiences that he's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: getting right now. So to say that better than you
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: all think, I don't think I really heard anybody knocking
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: down the door to say, oh, why is Esmeralda Valdez
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: starting in AAA? And I don't want people to say, oh, man,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: he came up and now he's coming back down to earth. Like, yeah, see,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say coming down to earth, but
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: his production shows you that no balls in the zone
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: he can do damage on. And for him, it's just
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: going to be a matter of controlling that. and being
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: consistent with it. So better than you think, I would
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: say yes, because now everybody is looking at him as
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: being part of the future pirate plans.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: So yes. Yep, I completely agree. I mean, there was
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a point where when we brought up Lake Bakker on
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: this show, like a month before Ezra and Valdez popped off,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: we were like, maybe he would be like someone the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: pirates could trade for Lake Bakker. I don't think that's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the case anymore after we've seen what he can do
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: at the level of MLB. Um, but yeah, this is
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a guy who's always just been kind of underrated his
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: entire career. You know, he only signed for $ 130, 000 for
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: international signing bonus pool and just kind of slid under
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the radar until you couldn't ignore him anymore. And now
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: he's shown that at the big leagues. Um, and yeah,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I think, uh, he's right where like his value should
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: be as I think the fan base is appropriately looking
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: at him. So yeah. Uh, he's been better than we think.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: And I think we finally, uh, understand just how good
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: he can be. All right. So that all of our
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: fan questions there, Josh, now I'm going to turn over here. Um,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I have a couple of questions for you. So, uh, I,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I get a little starstruck sometimes on this podcast, you know,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting here talking to a two-time all-star MLB guy, uh, just,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you know, you're kind of a celebrity as your daughter
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: would put it. Um, I wondered if you've ever been
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: starstruck in your career, maybe early on, or if there's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: just a moment where you're like, oh, that's someone. Was
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: there any moment where you're like, welcome to the bigs,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: kind of?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I've interacted with a few people, and I won't say starstruck,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: because when I was younger, my uncle John T. Bone Shelby,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: he obviously was coaching the Dodgers, so every time they
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: came in town to play the Reds, I got an
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: opportunity to meet, you know, likes of Gary Sheffield, Sean Green,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Adrian Beltre.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Just to name a few. So, like, I remember a
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: lot of.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: My friends or, you know, people running to get their autographs.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: And I didn't, you know, I didn't really collect autographs.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, I was like, man, I
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: just want to talk to him. It's kind of cool.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: And as I got older, got to the big leagues,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously got to meet Wiz Khalifa in a
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: locker room, which was cool.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Got to meet Mike Tyson when he threw out the
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: first pitch.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Cool. You know, I remember telling our catcher at the time,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Tony Sanchez, that he should, you know, after he catches
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: his first pitch, he should act like he's going to
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: bite his ear. And he's like, no, man, no, man,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: he's going to kill me. And literally Mike Tyson did
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: it to him and like got like a picture. So,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: but like, I wouldn't say starstruck, but like kind of
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: excited because you're meeting people. And one that I didn't
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: get to meet, we were playing the Dodgers. The cast
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: of Scandal was there at the time.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: It was hot. And Kerry Washington was there.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Doing the announcements and i'm like in the dugout trying
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: to get everybody's attention my wife was watching the show
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: she wasn't there.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: At the time but i'm like oh yeah i watched
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: them you know.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: At the time i knew all the cast members names
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: but they were like sitting behind home plate um so
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: it's always cool to you know kind of see people
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: outside of the baseball world because you know you're gonna
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: meet some baseball you know legends in this game um
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: that you know, just fortunate, but you know, getting to
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: meet the likes of people that you might watch on
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: TV is kind.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Of cool too.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: All the peripherals that show up to the ballpark. I
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: love that. I didn't have Mike Tyson as one of
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the guests there, so that's good. All right. What is
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: your favorite city, like MLB city to travel to? And
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: why is it like the ballpark? Is it the food?
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Is it things to do? But where did you like
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: circle on the schedule and be like, Oh, I'm looking
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: forward to this away trip.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I get this question a lot, and one of my
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: favorites due to, like, the ballpark atmosphere, everything was Wrigley Field.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Day games, I call it Club Wrigley. You know, day games,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: the bus get there about 9, 30, 10. You know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: you see the workers lining up, but you also see
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: the fans out there getting.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Ready for BP.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: They already, you know, a couple alcoholic beverages deep, you know,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: talking trash to the guys as we get off. It's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the same way. And playing outfield there was probably my favorite.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: You know, I probably had some unkind words said to me.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: You know, I probably provoked them with a couple gestures,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: you know, some criny moves. But, you know, nonetheless, like,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: just the atmosphere there was always really fun, you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: playing day games, knowing the history there. And, I mean,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I was drafted by the Cubs, so I, you know,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: at the time, you know, I got to play against
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: a few guys that I played in the minor leagues with.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: So it was kind of cool, you know, but I mean,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: we spent a little bit of time, but you know,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed the atmosphere and then, you know, the city itself,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: you know, not far from Cincinnati and a lot of
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: good places to eat, a lot of, you know, cool
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: places to visit.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: So I would say Chicago.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I love it. Yeah.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Chicago. You can't go wrong there. Another question here for
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: your funniest teammate. It doesn't have to be a pirate's teammate,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: but just like, who is always just getting you to
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: crack up whenever you're in the locker room?
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Um, man, we, we've played with some characters. I've played
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: with some characters.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Um, but, and my answer probably changes every time, but
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: just this memory popped up in my head and, uh,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and it wasn't necessarily funny, but like, it would be funny.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Cause in a dugout, you'd watch people going crazy. Francisco
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Cervelli was, uh, he was able to like throw his voice.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: So like, I kid you not.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: He would sit right next to you and he would
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: make his voice sound like it's coming from above the dugout.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: And he would do it to coaches. He would do
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: it to teammates.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: And you'd see guys like watching the game and hear
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: their name called and turning and looking over the dugout
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: for like three innings.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: And, you know, looking down like, man, y'all hear somebody
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: call him a name. And, you know, we're like, no. And,
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: you know, to know Cervelli, you know, he's.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Just keeping us. But as soon as you turn around,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Cervelli is cracking up. Um, but like obviously AJ Burnett, man,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: like super funny, dude. Those two, you know, cause AJ's
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: got some stories.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: We got a glimpse of that when you had AJ
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: come on.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: He's one of the first ones, but just that story
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: of Savelli being able to throw his voice. I'm like that,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: that was one of the more unique instances that I'm like,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: you know what? I ain't been around and it was impressive.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I'm talking coaches, trainers, translators.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Like, man, I, I didn't leave tickets. Why?
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Who here knows me? And I mean, for three, it's
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: in a pure panic. Like, and, you know, guys are
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: obviously like, man, you know, that's the people that are
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: here for you.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's so funny. I love that. Well, we always
