Cardinals 2025 regular season wrap up · Cardinal Territory: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast

• 0:07
  Speaker 1: We did it, Cardinal Territory fam. The Saint Louis Cardinals
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season has officially come to an end,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and fittingly, we discussed it on episode.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Number one hundred of this show.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: What a riode it's been with you all this year,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and I'm just so thankful to all of you that
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: have subscribed, watched episodes, kept up to date with the show.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: It's been super fun to do this with you all,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: and I'm.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Really thankful for it. So thank you. But we'll save
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the semantics for another time. We're not going to make
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: it an emotional today, No, not at all. On Game
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two, the Chicago cub shut out
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals two oh to sweep them. The
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Cardinals finished with a seventy eight to eighty four record.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: They were not eliminated until number one hundred and fifty nine.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: They exceeded expectations yet also were disappointing, which doesn't make
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of sense, but I think those sentiments mainly
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: come down to if a couple of things had gone
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: their way or went a little differently, maybe they sneaked
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: their way into the playoffs. And I think That's especially
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: true when you think about that bad stretch of two
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to three weeks heading into the trade deadline. But this
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: team also held their own after that, especially the bullpen,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: my MVP area of the roster. What really sidetracked this
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: team Obviously, it's hard to overcome trading away your best
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: three believers, but they did that. What really sidetracked this
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: team in the second half was the key players getting hurt.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: No Nolan Arnado and no Brendan Donovan in August was
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: brutal for this team. You added missying Alc Girlson for
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a period of time, Wilson Contreras Mason when not being
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent like That's exactly what Allie Marvel pointed
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to after this game about what really was hard for
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: this team. But all he did say, and this is
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: something I really do agree with, honestly, that he liked
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the style of play all season long from this team.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: This Saint Louis Cardinals team was a gritty ball club.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Now hear me out. That was not always reflected in
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the box score and certainly not in the overall record,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: but the way the Cardinals played through these games even
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: when they were overmatched in talent, which did happen a lot,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, they have thirty nine comeback wins.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: That doesn't happen by accident. Even this week.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Like, think about two games this week that stick out
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: They had that six one rally against the Giants to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: stave off elimination for a day, and then Saturday, they're
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: trailing by four on the ninth and they load the bases,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: bring the time run to the plate. Don't worry, We're
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: not going to talk about the walk, the intentional walk.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: We're not talking about that. But those are two examples
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of just how gritty this baseball team was. And I'm
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: not here for moral victories. Fans certainly aren't either. But
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: when you're looking to build a culture, having a core
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: that is determined, that is as determined as this Cardinals
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: team was the series' fight of all of the things
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: pointing for them not to be, that's at least encouraging
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: heading into what will be a very busy offseason in
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis. So. I guess what I'm trying to say
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: with my very long opening monologue is no one should
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: be happy with a second losing season in three years.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: No one should be happy missing the playoffs for a
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: third straight season. No one should be happy with the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: losing record, but the design this year was not about
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: wins and losses, as we know. It was about building
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: towards the future. The Cardinals can go out and build
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and develop better players. They can go out by trade,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: get some different acquisitions. You can't teach a bunch of
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: players who were really this roster was designed to not
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: compete with a lot of teams. You can't teach that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: kind of mentality unless you have total buy in from
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: this team. And they knew what they were facing, they
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: knew what the messaging was, they knew this was a
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: transition year whatever, and they still dug in and showed
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: some real competitive baseball. That's a testament to the players,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that's a testament to the coaches, and it gives me
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit of faith going forward that this is
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a group that you might not be able to build
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: completely around, but there are some key pieces here that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: will be helpful as the Cardinals in they're rebuilt, which
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: should start to take place in less than forty eight hours.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about it, starting with Kyle Lahey, the first
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: significant change heading into next year, and also our DraftKings
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: player to watch starting in spring training come February. But
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: bear with me, all right, let's break it down. We'll
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: be right back, all right. Our DraftKings player to watch
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: segment is Kyle Layhey. Let me get the overlay up there.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: There we go. Kyle Lae was the starting pitcher for
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: today's designated bullpen game. That was by design. He threw
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: three scoreless innings, struck out one, did not walk a batterer,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: gave up one single, and then promptly erased it with
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the four to six' three double play in the third
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: through thirty nine, Pitches so super. Efficient he Was Kyle. Lahey.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Okay the only thing that was different was that he
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: was doing this to start a game instead of in
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the six or seventh or eighth. Inning, again that is on,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: purpose Because kyle Lay it'll be a starting, pitcher or
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: at least excuse, me he will report to spring training
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: with the ability to compete.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: For a spot in the starting rotation next.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Year and this is something that if we watched the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: show a lot or you read on The athletic isn't
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a total surprise because this has always been floated around
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: throughout the season as a possibility for The cardinals and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: For lady next. Year but now it's. Official The cardinals
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: wanted him to take this start today just so he
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: could see what it was like to prep for a,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: start get behind that. Routine it makes a lot of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: sense like this game didn't mean anything for either. Team
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: cardinals are, Eliminated cubs have clenched posts or home advantage
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: in their postseason. Bracket so this is a perfect time
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: for The cardinals to just, say, Hey, lay you've been
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a stud for us all, year arguably our most consistent.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Reliever we want to see if you can start next.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Year let's just give you a chance to prep go
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: through the routine like you were a, starter so that
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you have a little bit of a foundation going into next.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Season And Kyle lady did an exceptional job with. It
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you look at the overall skill, set let's start there
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: With kylie Sixthch arsenal wipe out. Stuff he's super, efficient
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: as advertised by his usage. Today the trick for him
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: is going to be if he can repeat that stuff
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: through multiple, lineups multiple times through the. LINEUP i should
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: say he didn't get a chance to do that, obviously
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: because they're not going to happen for more than forty.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: PITCHES i, mean he threw eighty five innings in really
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: eighty eight innings in relief this.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Year that's the most in The National league by a.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Lot BUT i like. THIS i really like this for
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the cardinalist one BECAUSE i Think lay he can handle.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It he. Is he doesn't talk. Much if you guys
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: ever see his postgame, INTERVIEWS i wouldn't say he is
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: like the most social butterfly of them, all but he
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: is super smart and HIS i had a person in
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the organization tell me, This Kyle lady's give a shit
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: meter is off the. Charts he's super, stoic doesn't express
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: like pretty, expressionless but really cares and.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: That was evident in how he approached this whole.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Season so talking To kyle after the, game he said
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: what you'd expect him to, say that he's excited for this,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: opportunity but he's going to take the ball no matter
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: when he's. Asked you, know if it's the first inning
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: or the, seventh he's going to do. It but The
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: cardinals moving on to what they need from their organization
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: could not be more, Dire like the starting pitching situation
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: could not be more dire heading into next. Year it
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: is so important for them to see if they have anything,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: internally very similar to how they approached almost exactly similar
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: actually to how they Approached Matthew liberture in the. Spring
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: because stop making heard this. Before they have zero. Depth
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Miles michelas is a free, agent AND i say what
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: you want About miles, MICHAELIS i, know maybe not the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: most effective pitcher in the, world but a Good cardinal
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: for the last eight years and made thirty plus starts
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: again for the fourth straight. Season, okay durability is a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: priceless trait in the. Game so they're losing thirty guaranteed
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: starts from a. Starter we have no idea What Sunny's
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: gray future, is But Sunny gray's, future BUT i would
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: be very surprised if he's with The cardinals next. YEAR
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: i think that The cardinals will look to trade. HIM
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: i think that's pretty much what he. Wants so that's.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Two he also made thirty plus starts this. Year that's sixty,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: starts which just took off the. Table that means.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: You're three guaranteed starters next.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Year, liberator who made twenty nine, stars did excellent in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: terms of what they were looking for him to. Do
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: still plenty to build, on but like a quality number
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: four Guy michael, McGreevey same kind of boat As libby
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: right there in the middle of the. Rotation and Anjre
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: filante who struggled this year and has work to do
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: if he wants to be a viable rotation option next.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Year so that's three options if we're being, generous two
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and a half if we're being, real and no baseball
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: team can get through one hundred and sixty two games
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: with two and a half starting. Pitchers so very very
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: important for The cardinals to see if they have something
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: In Kyle, lahey because while there are arms in TRIPLE,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: A Quinn matthews is, Exciting Liam doyle obviously very exciting
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: high And bloom is not going to rush pitching development
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: for the expense of benefiting the major league. Team that's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: just not what he's. Done that's not what he's done In.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Tampa that's not what he did With, boston and that's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: not what The cardinals should do. Now so find out
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: what you have, internally maybe you find out something that
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you didn't know you had In Kyle. LAHY i think
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: all the sign there where this is going to be
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a successful move for. Them so let's see Come jupiter
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: In february where things shake out and a quick thing
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: before we move on to our next. Segment it is unbelievably,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: impressive remarkably impressive that The Saint Was cardinals had all
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: five of their pitchers stay off the injured. List we'll
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: throw An Eric petty in there as, well so Six
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: John king the only pitcher that went on the. Aisle in,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: totality they had all five of their guys that finished the.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Season So Sunny Miles, Polante libby McGreevy made at least
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: twenty nine.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Starts that is unheard of.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: In this day at age of this, game and the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: health of The cardinal medical, team The cardinals training, staff
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: pitching Coach Dusty Blake allway marm will deserve a ton
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: of credit for keeping those guys. HEALTHY i, mean that
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: is a crazy staff does not negate how important it
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: is to go get more pitching death, however WHICH i
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: expect will be somewhat addressed over the off, season and
• 9:56

• 12:02
  Speaker 1: episode we discussed the futures Of Nolan arnado And Sunny,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: gray and we had not yet spoken To contraras about his.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Future that.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Changed he spoke to reporters At Wrigley field.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: On, saturday after speaking With Heim, bloom who was also
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: At Wrigley field this weekend On, Friday Wilson contreras would
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: prefer to stay In Saint.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Louis he wants to be a part of this rebuilt, process.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: But he is if something opens up where it would
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: benefit both him and the, team open to at least
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: exploring what that looks. Like so a little bit more
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: detail you can find on the Athletic, YES i did
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: it right this. Time when we talked To wilson and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: he was As Wilson conturras as it. Gets he was
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: super honest about where he. Feels he, said he likes,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: challenges he wants to be part of the. Process he
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: understands that the focus going forward is going to be
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit on player, development and he. Prayed and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: this is a theme that we've heard from a lot
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of different players who have had conversations with Him bloom.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Already he praised the transparency from him about the direction
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of this, franchise AND i.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Think fans will actually get a chance to hear that
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: themselves On.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Tuesday, well more about that later in the, show but For,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Conturrists i'll just go ahead and read a couple of
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: quotes on what he's, thinking because he has two years
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: remaining on his deal out about thirty six million dollars
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: thirty six point five not including a five million dollar
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: buyout that the club has at the end of the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty seventh, Season so a significant amount of money
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: still on that, contract but nothing like super egregious for
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: given What conturist does and what he. Produces here's What
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: contura said to us about his conversation with Heim. Bloom he,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: SAID i told Him i'd like to be a part
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of the. Process i'd like to be a part of
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: a young team that's going to need to have some
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: kind of experience around. Them that's WHAT i. Expressed bloom
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: understood THAT i want to be a part of this,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: process BUT i also understand that this is part of the.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Business then we asked him if something opened up that
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: made sense for him and the, team would he consider,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: It and he, said if something comes up and makes
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of sense For bloom and the organization and
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: makes sense for me in my, future then we'll talk about.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: That but as of right, NOW i, SAID i would
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: like to be a part of the.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Process so we ask them to. Elaborate because When, contrarast
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: just Like, arnatto just Like Sunny, gray came To Saint,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: louis it was about being a part of a winning
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: organization and in the postseason and all the stuff that
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: we know we thought we were going to see and.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Didn't and this is where THAT i like challenges quote
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: comes from the Ac here in the, Headline contrera, SAYS
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: i know The cardinals have a track record of winning
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and being a winning. TEAM i know that right now
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: we don't have a winning, team BUT i know we
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: have talent. Here everything starts in the. MINORS i understand
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that it might take three to five years to be
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: a playoff team or contend for A World. Series even
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: If i'm no longer, HERE i still feel LIKE i
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: could be a part of that BECAUSE i helped the young.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Guys he went on to, say it's a weird situation
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: right now because we aren't. Winning But i'm not concerned
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: about my. Future i'm not concerned about anything else besides
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: The cardinals BECAUSE i signed here and this is the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: PLACE i wanted to. Be it's still the same. Way
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: SO i would be surprised If Wilson contreras is traded this.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Offseason it's not a for sure no or you, know
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: things could, change BUT i think the likelihood of players
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: being traded remains ARE nato One grade two and then
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: a significant gap before contrarists at. Three would that complicate
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: things for the? ROSTER i think that's a common argument
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: in terms of reducing the redundancy as currently. Constructed, yes
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: but let me tell you.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Something let me tell you. Something this is not the
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: same roster that we're going to.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: See.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: OKAY i will have an off season primer around the
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: athletic after a couple days of hibernation where we break
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: down all of the different. Deadlines but this is roster
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: is going to be. Revamped you got a non tender
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: deadline coming up In. NOVEMBER i would imagine a lot
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: of forty men roster moves are. Made you have some positional,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: redundancies specifically with your, lefties and if you have this,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: group let's take this group of four all Le Victor
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: scott the second out of, here because this doesn't really
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: apply to. Him it's a different. Position of the four
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: lefties that are kind of caught in this rotat or position, Logjam.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Brendan, Donovan lars New, bar Al, Erlison Nolan.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Gorman two of those four, lefties in my, opinion are
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: in my, opinion are going to be traded over the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: off season because you have. To you have to eliminate
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: this roster log, jam this roster. REDUNDANCY i don't know
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: which of the two lefties are gonna, go BUT i
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: would be very very surprised if, three if two of
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: all four are, back that's not. Happening i'd be very
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: very surprised if if three out of the four. Back,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: AGAIN i don't know which ones are likely more likely
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to go than. Others things will play into this contract,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: status r, viers money made like those are all organization.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Decisions some of them, ownership some of them front.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Office it will also depend on who can get them
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the best return. Package because this is what a rebuild. Is,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: AGAIN i will preface that this is not a, teardown
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and the word rebuild has this like negative. AURA i get,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: it because most teams that rebuild completely tear. Down this
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: is like by definition of, rebuild but not nearly to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that degree that we might think when we hear that.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Word so if the goal here is to to find
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: prospects and find players that are going to exedite this,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: rebuild you're going to trade the players that can give
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: you the best. RETURN i don't know out Of, Donovan,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Newbar girlson And gorman who those two, are but that
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: would be how The cardinals can Keep Wilson contraras and
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: also not further clog up their. Roster, so LIKE i,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: said as, advertising you're gonna be a lot of busy
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: news over this. Offseason so whatever we experienced last, year
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: remember when we started the, show when we had the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: same episode twenty episodes in a row because the didn't do,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: ANYTHING i would not expect that to be the. Same
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: the show will continue in the off, season by the,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: way we just won't do it as, often probably two
• 17:33
