- 0:56Speaker 1: just looking to play baseball, you know, and hopefully get
- 0:59Speaker 1: a world still still searching, but but.
- 1:09Speaker 4: A my guy, congratulations, it's it is a celebration and
- 1:13Speaker 4: you know you gotta you gotta take a plane to
- 1:15Speaker 4: get there.
- 1:16Speaker 1: We won't say what, but just give me a number.
- 1:18Speaker 4: How many did how many did we go through on
- 1:22Speaker 4: the way to Colorado?
- 1:24Speaker 1: I just want to know.
- 1:28Speaker 4: Okay, okay, I'm proud of you, my boys growing up. Okay, hey, hey,
- 1:34Speaker 4: with the Tigers, this year. Man, you I mean you
- 1:37Speaker 4: you did you You've pretty much done what you did
- 1:39Speaker 4: last year. Can you talk about though this new culture?
- 1:43Speaker 4: You've been in a few different clubhouses. I had an
- 1:45Speaker 4: experience to be around a J. Hinch Chris Fetder covering
- 1:50Speaker 4: the Tigers playing form as well, what sticks out and
- 1:55Speaker 4: what's different, and talk about the atmosphere and the belief
- 1:58Speaker 4: that that team has because a lot of people thought
- 2:00Speaker 4: it was a fluke last year and it's showing to
- 2:02Speaker 4: not be that at all.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Yeah, I would definitely say it's definitely pretty similar to
- 2:11Speaker 1: kind of the clubhouses I've been in the past, but
- 2:13Speaker 1: it definitely feels different just in terms of there is
- 2:16Speaker 1: a lot of young guys. Most everybody's amazing dudes. You
- 2:22Speaker 1: know how everybody kind of gets well together like a family,
- 2:25Speaker 1: And it's really I think it's they focus a lot
- 2:31Speaker 1: more here, I would say, probably on just you know,
- 2:33Speaker 1: the the littler things in baseball. Just you know that
- 2:37Speaker 1: they're out there taking ground balls every day. I know
- 2:40Speaker 1: that we were doing it everywhere else, but it just
- 2:42Speaker 1: seems a little bit more instilled here. I want to say,
- 2:47Speaker 1: it kind of just seems that they we don't they
- 2:51Speaker 1: don't have, you know, to go out and afford you know,
- 2:54Speaker 1: Judge Soto, the big those giant names, so they kind
- 2:59Speaker 1: of work to what they know. And AJ does a
- 3:03Speaker 1: tremendous job. He's unbelievable that it's Scott Harris to identifying
- 3:07Speaker 1: the players and it's it's culture here is definitely different
- 3:11Speaker 1: in terms of you know, what you what you can
- 3:14Speaker 1: do with what you have, and uh, it's been great.
- 3:18Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are unbelievable. They're all grinders, you know,
- 3:22Speaker 1: gritty that's where they get the gritty tigs, I think,
- 3:25Speaker 1: is what the saying is here. I get it now,
- 3:27Speaker 1: I see it.
- 3:28Speaker 2: You know.
- 3:28Speaker 1: I've been here, you know for only three months now,
- 3:30Speaker 1: and it's been awesome. You know, everybody's just ready to
- 3:36Speaker 1: just get out there and play baseball and grind. It's
- 3:39Speaker 1: a it's a it's truly you know, kind of like
- 3:43Speaker 1: just the excitement to see, especially as I get older,
- 3:47Speaker 1: to see that you know, the baseball is still still
- 3:50Speaker 1: the way it kind of used to be, but also
- 3:52Speaker 1: at the same time it's changing and going a different way.
- 3:55Speaker 5: But Tommy, we only know big market teams, so I mean,
- 4:00Speaker 5: foray into a small market team, you know White Sox Rockies.
- 4:04Speaker 5: You know, they're all the big market teams that spend
- 4:06Speaker 5: money on players all the time. So look them to
- 4:08Speaker 5: the small market for the first time. I want to know,
- 4:11Speaker 5: you're talking about being in another new clubhouse. The first
- 4:13Speaker 5: time you shaved your body in front of everybody, was like,
- 4:17Speaker 5: hell was this guy doing?
- 4:18Speaker 6: I didn't know this guy did like what wait, what
- 4:20Speaker 6: what's happening here? Do I do I miss something?
- 4:22Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they loved that part. They did. Oh yeah,
- 4:26Speaker 1: you got a lot of weird looks. First walked into
- 4:28Speaker 1: the spring training clubhouse. Oh you do it?
- 4:31Speaker 6: So you break the ice in spring training, start right
- 4:35Speaker 6: in spring See, that's smart. That's a better move. You
- 4:38Speaker 6: don't make people wait for it. You just get it
- 4:40Speaker 6: out in the open and then you move on.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Yeah, they weren't expecting that. I don't think.
- 4:47Speaker 5: Well, I mean, you know, that's why I said it's
- 4:49Speaker 5: smart that you got it in the open. Now you're
- 4:52Speaker 5: a ten year vet. Now you can do whatever you want.
- 4:54Speaker 5: If you want to walk around with shaving cream all
- 4:56Speaker 5: of your body, you can do it.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Yeah, right, that's next. They got a brick that one out.
- 5:00Speaker 1: I don't know when that usually comes when a kind
- 5:02Speaker 1: of you're hitting a little like, you know, a little
- 5:06Speaker 1: little skid. Get the boys rolling again, pop out the
- 5:11Speaker 1: old shaving cream.

- 5:20Speaker 2: the spot. We've been talking about them all season long,
- 5:23Speaker 2: but I do want to focus on the slab pack experience, Scrats.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Since you've been ripping some slab packs digitally and what happens.
- 5:31Speaker 7: I mean, as a kid, you wanted to rip open
- 5:33Speaker 7: the packs. How can they do this digitally?
- 5:35Speaker 1: Oh? Baby, this is exciting.
- 5:38Speaker 7: How the graphics come out and everything. And oh yeah,

- 6:15Speaker 3: Hey, I got one for you on this season. I mean,
- 6:17Speaker 3: it's gone well so far.
- 6:19Speaker 2: I know you know your bucket list is topped by
- 6:22Speaker 2: wanting a World Series ring?
- 6:23Speaker 1: Cool?
- 6:23Speaker 3: Get it? What about potentially an All Star appearance?
- 6:27Speaker 2: And I feel like sometimes relievers have to talk about
- 6:30Speaker 2: it a little bit so that people are aware, right, Like,
- 6:33Speaker 2: especially you know, if you're not racking up forty saves
- 6:36Speaker 2: or something like that. I just feel like high leverage
- 6:38Speaker 2: guys don't necessarily get the attention that they deserve. And
- 6:41Speaker 2: some guys are self promoters. I'm not asking you to
- 6:44Speaker 2: kind of wear hey, vote for me for the All
- 6:46Speaker 2: Star Game t shirts all over the place, but I'm
- 6:48Speaker 2: sure that's a goal, right is that somewhere on near.
- 6:51Speaker 3: The top of the list for the individual stuff.
- 6:56Speaker 1: To be honest, I'd never like really care to be
- 6:59Speaker 1: an All I don't know if that sounds crazy to people.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I don't know, I've never really cared to be an
- 7:03Speaker 1: All Star. You know, maybe when I was a kid
- 7:08Speaker 1: and stuff, like you think about that stuff. But I
- 7:10Speaker 1: feel like once I got to like pro ball and
- 7:12Speaker 1: then into the big leagues, it's kind of like I
- 7:15Speaker 1: saw that winning was like, that's that's the thing, that's
- 7:18Speaker 1: that's what we got to do. And that's what's been
- 7:21Speaker 1: instilled with me ever since I was in college and
- 7:22Speaker 1: just trying to win. And I mean, if it ever
- 7:27Speaker 1: happened cool. To be honest, I don't even know if
- 7:30Speaker 1: I would go.
- 7:32Speaker 4: You go.
- 7:33Speaker 5: First of all, you would go, Okay, you would go,
- 7:36Speaker 5: and he throwed twenty five change ups in a row, Like,
- 7:38Speaker 5: don't give me that.
- 7:39Speaker 1: I wouldn't go.
- 7:40Speaker 6: That is crap. That is crap.
- 7:43Speaker 1: You wouldn't go.
- 7:44Speaker 5: Let's not even put that out there because that is
- 7:46Speaker 5: a lie. That is a full blown lie. If you
- 7:49Speaker 5: made the All Star team, you would be there. Your
- 7:51Speaker 5: family would be there. You'd have your kids out on
- 7:54Speaker 5: the field with their little Caneley jerseys on, your wife
- 7:57Speaker 5: would have her cute outfit on. You know, your parents
- 7:59Speaker 5: would be there. Trust me.
- 8:01Speaker 6: If you make the All Thirteam, you're going.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Well, it's a it's a we're gonna see yeah, right right,
- 8:11Speaker 1: you got voted. Don't don't say that right now, say
- 8:16Speaker 1: you're home.
- 8:17Speaker 4: So that'll give them more incentives to just not pick
- 8:20Speaker 4: you don't do that was like now he said, he's
- 8:22Speaker 4: he's not gonna go anyway, So that's not get the
- 8:24Speaker 4: warrant first time and then don't show. Let's go be
- 8:27Speaker 4: smart about it. No, but but all jokes aside. Man,
- 8:30Speaker 4: you talked about it earlier. You said, you know, ten
- 8:32Speaker 4: years wasn't something you thought about. And I think you're right.
- 8:34Speaker 4: I think a lot of guys when we first come in,
- 8:36Speaker 4: we're just excited about the opportunity. We just want to
- 8:38Speaker 4: play ball, right, we want to win a championship. But
- 8:41Speaker 4: now that you are there, what one what does it
- 8:44Speaker 4: mean to you?
- 8:45Speaker 1: And two?
- 8:46Speaker 4: You got a pretty young team, You got a few
- 8:48Speaker 4: guys with a little bit of money in there. Did
- 8:50Speaker 4: they do anything special for you for you know, you
- 8:53Speaker 4: know making it thus far?
- 8:55Speaker 1: Uh? I mean this means a lot, you know. I
- 9:00Speaker 1: obviously there's not a lot of players either. It is
- 9:03Speaker 1: there's not a lot of players you know that have
- 9:05Speaker 1: come through this game that have been able to accomplish this.
- 9:07Speaker 1: It's it's definitely something that you know, I definitely cherish
- 9:12Speaker 1: and honor you know, the guys before me that have
- 9:15Speaker 1: done this. It's it's a it's truly an honor, and
- 9:20Speaker 1: I'm ecstatic that it's happened. Obviously, I would love to
- 9:26Speaker 1: keep going. We'll see how far I can go. I
- 9:28Speaker 1: guess at this point ten is always like the goal
- 9:30Speaker 1: and then kind of just see how far you can
- 9:33Speaker 1: go after that. But yeah, I mean you can't thank
- 9:37Speaker 1: enough people to have gotten me to this point. There's
- 9:41Speaker 1: there's so many coaches, players that have helped me through
- 9:43Speaker 1: the years. You know, we all talk to each other,
- 9:45Speaker 1: but obviously number one is the wife. She's the one
- 9:49Speaker 1: that's got me this far. But uh, yeah, I think
- 9:55Speaker 1: just overall getting here is is tremendous. It's it's it's true.
- 10:00Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for it, and uh, I wouldn't want
- 10:04Speaker 1: anything else but uh onto, yeah, the guys. Uh I
- 10:09Speaker 1: told him that basically all I wanted to do is
- 10:11Speaker 1: just go back to the room play videos. But have
- 10:16Speaker 1: you have you found? Was the no. The rain out
- 10:21Speaker 1: was perfect because I got to play video games basically
- 10:23Speaker 1: all night, and uh I went to dinner with my
- 10:27Speaker 1: agent and uh the head of marketing and one of
- 10:29Speaker 1: the guys in the Rockies that we have and uh
- 10:32Speaker 1: we went to Capitol grill, he got a steak, some
- 10:34Speaker 1: lobster mac and uh yeah, it's pretty good.
- 10:38Speaker 4: Have you found have you found a video game cobby yet?
- 10:41Speaker 4: And and and at In Detroit, Tommy loves the video
- 10:44Speaker 4: game guys. He usually finds like a hole in the
- 10:46Speaker 4: wall room or cubby hole that nobody knows about, and
- 10:49Speaker 4: he's like, you open a door one day through the season,
- 10:53Speaker 4: is Tommy's in there? He's like, what's up, guys? How
- 10:55Speaker 4: we doing?
- 10:57Speaker 1: Those are the days. Yeah, I used to find like
- 10:59Speaker 1: little back room. Nowadays I'm just reading a locker. I
- 11:02Speaker 1: don't care. They give me a locker, give me a
- 11:08Speaker 1: locker next to I have two lockers in uh Detroit,
- 11:12Speaker 1: you get the old guy. You get two lockers now
- 11:15Speaker 1: everywhere I go. It's crazy.
- 11:17Speaker 3: So do you have a video game setup and then
- 11:20Speaker 3: your regular locker?
- 11:22Speaker 1: Uh so, like what my one locker is video games
- 11:26Speaker 1: with all my jerseys that I.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Brought nice okay, so you can kind of get to
- 11:32Speaker 2: dress it up into a little man gave basically right,
- 11:34Speaker 2: like you have the more practical side and then the
- 11:38Speaker 2: side for fun kind of it.
- 11:40Speaker 1: I would say it's more mesh too, because I have
- 11:42Speaker 1: like helmets and the regular one. My locker is a mess.
- 11:48Speaker 2: What I would never expect you.
- 11:52Speaker 1: I mean, it's clean, but also looks like, I don't know,
- 11:55Speaker 1: it's this ship everywhere knows.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Hey, tell me about the Tigers for a moment. So
- 12:00Speaker 2: is this the best team in the American League.
- 12:03Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to label that we're the best,
- 12:06Speaker 1: but also we're pretty good, so I don't know. I
- 12:10Speaker 1: hate putting that label out there. You know that we're
- 12:12Speaker 1: the best team, but all these teams are really good
- 12:15Speaker 1: in the American League. So it's kind of like we
- 12:17Speaker 1: just want to focus on us and just keep playing
- 12:20Speaker 1: our baseball. And that's Tiger ball.
- 12:22Speaker 5: You know.
- 12:23Speaker 1: It's great, gritty at bats, you know, relievers coming out
- 12:27Speaker 1: and getting the dirty work done, starters giving us six
- 12:31Speaker 1: Our guys are been unbelievable, these starters, so I mean,
- 12:37Speaker 1: just yeah, bats that these guys take, it's incredible for
- 12:40Speaker 1: I mean, like you were saying, there's not many of
- 12:43Speaker 1: us that are, you know, thirty plus. And I remember
- 12:47Speaker 1: I was talking to these guys last year when they
- 12:49Speaker 1: went to the postseason. I didn't really they had one guy.
- 12:51Speaker 1: I think they had postseason experience, so I thought that
- 12:55Speaker 1: was that was pretty crazy. I couldn't believe that, but yeah,
- 13:00Speaker 1: that's that just shows you these guys are They're tough cookies.
- 13:04Speaker 1: And I really love playing for this team. It's been awesome.
- 13:09Speaker 2: And I think the one guy was like Matt Bierling
- 13:12Speaker 2: or somebody like that where he was on the Phillies.
- 13:14Speaker 2: I think it was something like that with the trivia question.
- 13:17Speaker 2: It's crazy. So who stands out to you, Like, is
- 13:19Speaker 2: there somebody that you've watched and been like, damn, this
- 13:23Speaker 2: is going to be one of the better players in
- 13:24Speaker 2: the league for a while, or you know, just something
- 13:26Speaker 2: interesting about learning all of these new faces. You really
- 13:29Speaker 2: didn't know any of these guys when you got over there, right.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I only knew obviously Glaber and Zach McKinstry.
- 13:37Speaker 1: So it was a big surprise. I didn't, to be honest.
- 13:43Speaker 1: It was crazy. Is I didn't watch them a lot
- 13:45Speaker 1: last year, so when we first played them when I
- 13:49Speaker 1: came when I because I missed the first series in
- 13:51Speaker 1: May I believe it was, and then I came back
- 13:53Speaker 1: for the Litle League Classic series. But uh, I remember
- 13:58Speaker 1: I didn't really know anybody because I think just Riley
- 14:01Speaker 1: Green and Parker Meadows and I was very unsure who
- 14:07Speaker 1: even carry Carpenter was at the time, which is crazy
- 14:10Speaker 1: to think about, because that guy ricks. These guys, I
- 14:14Speaker 1: would say, definitely, you know, almost top to bottom they
- 14:17Speaker 1: put together unbelievable at that's I mean, obviously Riley stands
- 14:21Speaker 1: out big time. Torque Carrie. They got a good nucleus
- 14:27Speaker 1: of young hitters here. It's they're impressive to watch. They
- 14:31Speaker 1: really are.
- 14:33Speaker 5: Hey, you mentioned you're in Colorado. You came up with Colorado.
- 14:37Speaker 5: You're Rule five by Colorado. Do you have good you
- 14:39Speaker 5: have good memories in Colorado from when you were there,
- 14:42Speaker 5: even as a pitcher.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Uh, I get I guess you could say there are
- 14:50Speaker 1: some good ones. There's some good ones, but uh we uh,
- 14:56Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this. We we did
- 14:58Speaker 1: square off once. Yeah, I faced out when I was
- 15:03Speaker 1: a rocket. I forgot about it. I faced I think
- 15:06Speaker 1: I grounded out off you. I think you did the
- 15:07Speaker 1: ground joke. Yeah, I think it was because you liked
- 15:10Speaker 1: this story. I was looking at because all these guys
- 15:12Speaker 1: out't know they were talking about something. I was like, yeah,
- 15:15Speaker 1: I used to throw undred. They're like, what you used
- 15:17Speaker 1: to throw a hundred? I'm they're looking at me like
- 15:19Speaker 1: I'm a dinosaur. I'm just like, what is going on here?
- 15:22Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, top out of one too. They
- 15:24Speaker 1: all looked at me like I was sideways. So I
- 15:27Speaker 1: was like I tried to get like the video guy
- 15:29Speaker 1: to go pull up old video of all fastballs and
- 15:31Speaker 1: did it from like twenty fourteen for some reason, pulls
- 15:35Speaker 1: up as it comes across there you are. I was like, oh,
- 15:38Speaker 1: I got to use this dirt we already did. I
- 15:40Speaker 1: had no idea what was.
- 15:42Speaker 6: It a ground ball? Was it groundball to you or
- 15:43Speaker 6: a second basement?
- 15:45Speaker 1: I think it. I think it was second. I think okay, second, okay,
- 15:49Speaker 1: all right.
- 15:49Speaker 5: I remember facing you and I remember you didn't throw
- 15:52Speaker 5: change up, So it's weird now, you know, Yeah, did
- 15:55Speaker 5: used to throw hard?
- 15:58Speaker 1: I did? I did. I tried to show that's good.
- 16:01Speaker 1: That's good.
- 16:01Speaker 5: You should show off. You got ten years to do
- 16:03Speaker 5: whatever you want. Now you get a gold card. You
- 16:05Speaker 5: got ten years. You're good now, Tommy. But here's my
- 16:07Speaker 5: question about Colorado. Like we've been talking about it, they're
- 16:10Speaker 5: obviously not having a good year. Yeah, but the fans
- 16:12Speaker 5: still show up there, right, and you were there ten
- 16:15Speaker 5: years ago, and it's kind of like the same thing,
- 16:17Speaker 5: like you guys weren't very good. Then they bring in
- 16:19Speaker 5: some guys, they try to get the farm system blah
- 16:22Speaker 5: blah blah, and then they just they're like, ah, we're good.
- 16:24Speaker 5: We're not good, but we get two and a half
- 16:26Speaker 5: million every year. Our TV ratings are good. People like
- 16:29Speaker 5: coming to the ballpark. We're happy with it.
- 16:31Speaker 6: That is that just how you felt as a player there.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Yeah, there's this. It's so frustrating there. Obviously, you know
- 16:42Speaker 1: when you're when you're a player for the Rockies, it's
- 16:44Speaker 1: it's like you said, the crowds, the ballpark, everything you
- 16:50Speaker 1: know that's baseball is amazing there. You know, the fans
- 16:55Speaker 1: love it. It's it's really fun to play baseball there. Obviously,
- 16:58Speaker 1: it's it's definitely a challenge for pitching. I mean that's
- 17:02Speaker 1: obviously number one, but it is. I've it's just something's
- 17:07Speaker 1: not right and I don't know if it's ever gonna
- 17:10Speaker 1: flip the switch, because obviously they did it in the past,
- 17:15Speaker 1: you know, in the seven year, the nine So I
- 17:19Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know, it's a it's just a
- 17:22Speaker 1: it's definitely quite the conundrum, you know. With obviously you
- 17:26Speaker 1: talk to like former guys that were there and guys
- 17:28Speaker 1: that are there now. It seems like nothing's changed essentially.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Ft fam, We're excited to introduce you to Rowback with

- 18:09Speaker 2: the Rockies who you know has to come up into
- 18:12Speaker 2: that ballpark really and survive.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, you gotta deal with failure a lot definitely there,
- 18:21Speaker 1: that's for sure. I think a lot of it too
- 18:24Speaker 1: is a maybe. Maybe kids aren't dealing with failure enough
- 18:29Speaker 1: before they get to the big league, so when it
- 18:30Speaker 1: does happen, it kind of like spirals. So I don't know,
- 18:33Speaker 1: but you just gotta kind of learn to deal with failure.
- 18:37Speaker 1: And once you can handle that, I feel like you
- 18:39Speaker 1: just gotta stick your nose down and just do the work.
- 18:43Speaker 1: And if sometimes results don't happen, but I feel like
- 18:47Speaker 1: if you're doing something right, results will eventually come your way.
- 18:52Speaker 3: Tommy, we're gonna finish on a fun note here, so
- 18:54Speaker 3: we'll do one fan question. Sean is in the chat.

- 19:29Speaker 1: our apartment, and I was like, I'm gonna shoot the light. Missed, missed,
- 19:33Speaker 1: It completely hit the mercury stick boom thing. The water
- 19:38Speaker 1: just starts and about I don't know how many gallons
- 19:42Speaker 1: came out of the ceiling and the fire department cave
- 19:44Speaker 1: and yeah, oh yeah, flooded the entire apartment. You thought

- 20:22Speaker 1: the water, I mean the the place was soaked. So
- 20:25Speaker 1: they had to have like those professional the I don't
- 20:28Speaker 1: know what they are, to be honest, Yeah, the people
- 20:32Speaker 1: come in and get all the water out of the
- 20:35Speaker 1: I don't know. It was pretty crazy, but I remember
- 20:38Speaker 1: first instinct was like I was like, ah, I sprinted
- 20:41Speaker 1: in my room, grabbed all my like p S three everything.
- 20:44Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, why.
- 20:50Speaker 6: Didn't you just open the door and let the water
- 20:51Speaker 6: go outside?
- 20:53Speaker 1: Uh uh? I know three my three roommates just pieced it.
- 20:57Speaker 1: They just said out and then my one buddy was like, yeah,
- 21:01Speaker 1: you gotta get up there and put like something to
- 21:03Speaker 1: stop the water. After I got all my stuff, I
- 21:05Speaker 1: was like, all right, yeah, I'll go back in. I
- 21:07Speaker 1: try to do it. I'm just getting sucked. I'm like,
- 21:09Speaker 1: what are you talking about. He's like, you can't do that, idiot.
- 21:12Speaker 6: I was like, and you have like a sliding glass
- 21:16Speaker 6: door you can open and let the water go outside
- 21:18Speaker 6: or something.
- 21:20Speaker 1: It just like piled I don't even know how it
- 21:21Speaker 1: piled up like that. I've never seen that before we
- 21:23Speaker 1: left the front door open. That was the most water
- 21:27Speaker 1: I've ever seen. You're not hit anytime you ever see
- 21:29Speaker 1: one of those sticks. Don't at one.
- 21:31Speaker 6: By the way, does your wife know that your first
- 21:33Speaker 6: thing you're grabbing is not like her?
- 21:35Speaker 1: And the babies?

- 22:34Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to get caught. Well, that was
- 22:36Speaker 2: worth it. That was actually a great way to finish.
- 22:38Speaker 2: I'm glad that story was brought up. We had not
- 22:40Speaker 2: heard that one before, so it's pretty happy.
- 22:42Speaker 4: Well that that.
- 22:44Speaker 6: A good shot.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Yeah, not a good shot. It's like one of those
- 22:49Speaker 1: like bubbles to that, like put up over the light.
- 22:52Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is easy. Does a mercury
- 22:54Speaker 1: sticker right behind it? Wham?

- 23:13Speaker 5: don't know about shooting a glass light on the ceiling
- 23:15Speaker 5: and hop and it falls on my head.
- 23:16Speaker 2: It would be a good idea, I mean, I get it,
- 23:20Speaker 2: you know, young baseball players with a little extra time.
- 23:24Speaker 3: I mean I was I'll tell the story during the break.
