  Speaker 2: killed caught him and those guys, and you know, really
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: really liked what.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: They had to say, and you know, some things that
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: were brought up pitching wise that I really enjoyed. And yeah,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: next you know, I was on a flight headed a
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Philly to get all my physicals done. So it was
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: great though now it was way more enjoyable process this
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: time than you know, years past.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: How was that process different than other teams calling you know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: or did they all just did they all make the
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: same kind of pitch or was there no other pitch
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: in the Phillies just said boom, we're going right into it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: No, I think you know, everyone you know that called
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: me kind of had similar pitches. You know, a lot
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: You know, kind of made a big adjustments from starting
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: to relieving and you know, made a big you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: bilo jump and some you know, mechanical things that a
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: lot of them were just kind of asking questions on
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: you know, the process that went into that thought process,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: and you know how I felt like it did throughout
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: the season and so every every you know, organization that
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I talked to kind of had similar questions and then
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: more of just like a recruiting pitch on you know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: where they stood in an organization where there's you know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: looking to go and things like that. So they were
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: all really good conversations. But you know, I think one
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: of the biggest things that you know, a true. My
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: decision was just last year I got a good taste
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: of winning, and I really haven't had a you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: taste of winning in most of my career. So after
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: last year, it was like, you know, get the experience
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: of postseason and things like that. It's just, you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: something that I s tried, I want to do every
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: single year, and I feel like the Phillies were a
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: really good opportunity for that.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: Bron what changed for you?
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: You were a starter most of your career and then
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: in Chicago last year, I mean you blossomed.
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: Into an elite, elite reliever. What change?
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: What did you make a difference in your pitch type?
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: Did you change your arsenal? Did you change the delivery?
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: Did you change some grips?
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: What changed?
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: Because you were awesome for the cuts. As much as
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: it pays me to say.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: That, thank you, you know, I think first and foremost
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: with just you know, getting healthy, coming off for thrascic
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: alegy syndrome, going through that, you know, down that path,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: doing the surgery, all that fun stuff. Finally feeling healthy,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: finally feeling one, having a full off season to not
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: have to worry about, you know, health, just going straight
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: into the season, We're focusing on some mechanical things that
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: you know, I felt, I felt was going to be better official,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: and yeah, I mean I think there was a big change.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I honestly, I overhauled basically everything. You know, I kind
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: of I've always been really long armed, so kind of
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: shorten that up.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Be a little bit more deliberate, kind of using my legs.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: A lot more, you know, as I feel like I'm
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: just like squatting to the mountain now instead of just
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: kind of drifting. And then you know, added a sweep
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: for last year that was really beneficial, really helped me
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: strike out a lot more guys than I have in
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: the past. So a little bit of everything, honestly. So
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: it's a completely overhaul of, you know, everything I've done
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: my own career.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: So when you see a guy, when you see a
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: guy do what you did, all the things you just said,
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: you go to a new team on you know, a
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: nothing contract and get a massive contract the next year,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: you really prove yourself.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: Does it hurt at all that you've.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Seen a lot of Cubs or are the Cubs sign
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: a lot of relievers and you're like, wait a minute,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: you guys had a front row seat to my resurgence
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: and the fact that I helped you guys win and
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: you're like, wait a minute, Like I thought you guys
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: really liked me, and does it put you on another
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: level then of being like, all right, well, the Cubs
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: aren't going to beat the Phillies this.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Year, you know, you know, I love my time there
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: that I you know, it credited them to everything this season,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: you know, like I said, my first taste of postseason,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: first taste of winning throughout the whole season. So I
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: have no bad letter it will against them at all.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was probably by far my favorite, you
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: know season of playing baseball. You know, I tell everybody
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: is I had so much fun. The clubhouse was unbelievable,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the guys in there, you know, support staff all the
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: way to the coaching staff, for the players. Everything was
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: you know, big league as it gets. So yeah, as
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: far as that, you know, I I loved it over there,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: and like I have no ill will but just looking
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: forward to the opportunity with the with the Phillies. You know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I've heard a lot of positive things over there as well,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: and guys that played for both have said it's you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: very very similar situation. Very similar set up over there.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: So it was it was fun in Chicago. I had
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: a great time as my favorite city. But like I said,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: looking forward to Philly.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: All right before I had a different question. Can we
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: show that again?
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: Can we show that tweet you sent out, because first
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: of all, there's some lies in that tweet.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: Okay, you just.
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: Told some lies, but you just you said say Chicago
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: is a great the best city. I agree with that far,
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: but there were some lies in that tweet. Thank you
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: for the electricity Wrigley Field, Thank you for there was
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: a lot you know, beer snakes. You didn't like, look
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: at this.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: Sport energy, What do we like?
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: Why do you lie to the people and tell him
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: you know this and that? Like come on now, Brad, like,
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: let's not talk about this.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: No, I mean it was was unbelievable. I mean Wrigley
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: was every single day.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I mean we play all the day games and everything
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: sold out in me I said it all Summer's like,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: does no one work on Fridays in Chicago?
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: It's have you ever heard have you ever heard Lee
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: Ilia's rant? I know? Okay, So there's a manager for
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: the name. He was a Phillies legend. He's a Phillies legend.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: He said, eighty five percent of the world works, the
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: other fifteen percent come out to day baseball.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: There you have cup.
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: Fans some in one quote, right, especially on Friday, right.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: So it's insane. Yeah, it's insane.
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: I agree. I agree.
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: All right, let's let's get back to the now, the truth. Okay,
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: do you like starting or relieving better? Because you came
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: up and you were a starter first forever and now
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: you've had success as a reliever, which one do you
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: like better?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: You know, That's kind of what I told teams this
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: ausus is like I liked relieving, but I absolutely loved
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: uh you know, or I like starting. I absolutely loved relieving, though,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Like there was nothing like the adrenaline spike that they
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: get whenever they you know, the phone rings and you're
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: coming in a tight situation. You're just kind of just clear,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: clear mind, go out there and just here's my best stuff.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Like instead of sometimes you get caught up when you're
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: starting trying to like set pitches up and try to
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: do this, you kind of be a little bit more,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: you know, a more methodical approach to pitching. I guess
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: first bull finishes here. It is Boom go after him.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: You know, it was so much fun. And plus I
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: had a lot of good group, a group of guys
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: down there that I leaned heavy on, guys that have
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: been there, done that, pitching the biggest moments, and you know,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I asked them tons of questions and they helped me
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: out a ton. So they obviously made it a lot
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: of fun and kept the bullpen light.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean, I love relieving. It was so fun.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, your stuff played up.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: You know, we watched you all year just shove. Like
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: AJ mentioned, one of the best relievers in baseball this
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: past season. So if I take you back to the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: later part of your KC days, do you wish that
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you latched on with a role like this sooner? Did
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: you guys ever talk about this, because I'm sure there
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: was a point in those last few years with KC
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: where you like, my stuff's good, but you just weren't
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: getting the results that you wanted.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we talked about it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Actually, I think I got moved to the bullpen the
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: last month of the season in twenty two. I believe
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: that was but yeah, I mean I still felt like
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I was able to start, and I still felt like
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I was able to do. And then you know, I
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: still batt on some injuries stuff, and then even twenty three,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: ultimately the Tos just put me out for the whole season.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: But you know, I still feel like I'm capable of starting.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: But like I said, after having a full taste, instead
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: of being on that line that we were kind of
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: teetering on when I was with the with the Royals
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: the last couple of years, there fully going into season
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: fully committing to the bullpen and being like, all right,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: this is where I am. This where instead of like
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: coming constantly having that you know, doubt in the background,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: minds like am I still going to start?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Or and what could I start? You know, it was
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: just fully committed to the bullpen.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: I think that was just so much better mentally to
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: go out there and know, you know, this is where
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: I am, this is my position. Let's you know, let's
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: just go do it. So yeah, I mean we talked
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: about it a little bit. Like I said, I spent that
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: one month, but I didn't really do too well, I
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: don't think. But I did my beginning of my career
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: when I when I you know, made the team in
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, My first two months were in the bullpen,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: and that was at a time where I thought the
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: bullpen was my avenue to.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: The big leagues.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: And I threw really well doing that, and so I
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: feel like once I was like committed to it, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: kind of that's how I felt this, you're just like
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: fully committed a bull fan. I feel like I was
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: able to kind of just stay in that mentality, stay
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: in that mode of just like getting ready every day,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: go out there and do your job.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: How did you like your time in Kansas City? Because
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: sometimes everyone's like, well, that's the team you got first,
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: got called up with, you must love them. How did
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: you like your time when you were there?
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, I really enjoyed it. You know, they gave
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: me the opportunity they you know, rule five pick. They
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: gave me a chance to to, you know, give my
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: first dast to the big leagues, and you know, they
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: got a couple opening day starts. There, got a lot
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: of starts on under my belt there. I really enjoyed it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: The city was great, the fans, they were great. The
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: only thing that I didn't love was that we weren't
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: really winning, and it just kind of felt like a
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: lot of turnover. While I was there, we had you know,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: three managers, a couple of gms to two different owners.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: So it's like a lot of turnover during my time there.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: But the group of guys in the clubhouse are some
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: of my best friends to this day. Still talk to
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: them all and even in fancy football on the whole nine.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: So I really enjoyed my time there. I liked it
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: a lot.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: And like I said, they you know, my first steps
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: to the big leagues, and you know, after going to
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: a couple of different organizations, you really see the difference
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: from there to to other places.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: And you know from my friends they are still there.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: You know, they said a lot of a lot has
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: changed from there from my time left now.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean I liked it.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: I can't say it was great, especially you know, first
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: first get in the big leagues where you know you're
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: gonna fail a lot. It was like a it was
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: a perfect little, perfect spot to be all.
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: Right, do you have your walkout music ready? Because you've
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: you've seen durand in Philly right with the Durantelo's and
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: they got they do the whole thing and they get
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: the light show. Do you have a walkout Plan because
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: his is hard top. So when you first time you
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: run out of the bullpen at the bank, are they
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: going to have some Florida Gator music playing when you
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: break up through the bullpen or what?
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: No?
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, I mean I I have no idea,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: but Durand is by far the coolest entrance I've ever seen.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: I've watched it for a while back when he was
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: at the Plans and then watch it, you know, this
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: year a couple of times. Just there's nothing beating that.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: That's just one of the most electric things I've ever seen.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: It'd be cool to, you know, maybe get a maybe
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: get a video one day. I think I had one
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: towards the end of the season last year with the
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Cubs in the postseason. My parents filmed it one time.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: It's the only reason I know. But now it's, uh,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: that'd be cool. As of right now, I have nothing,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: nothing that I'm just perfect.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: You know why, because I say this all the time.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: The setup guys they don't get an entrance. Only the
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: closer gets it. That was the perfect answer. Yes, thank you,
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: thank you for saying that. Because the people on the show,
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: Kratz and Scott Oh, we could, we should give the
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: fifth inning, long guy.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: Entrance, like, no, it's the closer, it's the ninth inning. No, no, no,
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: no no.
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: So before we let you go, I have to ask
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: you this. I know you're from Georgia. You tweet a
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: lot about the Georgia Bulldogs. I'm sorry, Ole miss all
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: the way. Okay, sorry, I'm a Florida face.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: You know, nice, nice job, Kirby with your bowl cut.
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: But it's Kirby Smart going to leave for the Atlanta Falcons,
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: because that is the rumor. And when he does, well,
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: you Georgia fans ever, stop crying.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: No, he's not leaving. He's forever solidified in Georgia history.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I mean he played there, he coached there, national champion there,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: coaching wise, back to back. I mean, he's got it
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: made there. I mean it's it would be it would
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: put the stay of Georgia in to a full panic
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: if he left, because University of Georgia. I don't mean
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: this by any disrespect to Falcons fans, but University of
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Georgia football runs Georgia right like Saturdays, Like that's what
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: that's the thing.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Everyone does.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Everyone has plans for you know, based around Georgia football games.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: No one really plans around the Falcon games.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh, the Falcons are on and that Again
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: this is not no disrespect to them, but it's just
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: like Saturdays SEC football, Like that's that's the mecca for Saturdays,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: you know, or for football if you will.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: But yeah, no, if he leaves the state of Georgia,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: my burn up in flames.
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: The scale pan and I'm gonna call Arthur Boy. I
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: think I'm gonna call Arthur Boy. I'll contribute five bucks
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: and get him out of there.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: I want to see this.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Spoken like a true Florida fan right there.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I got one for on everyone's favorite team, Team USA.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Did you get a call for the World Baseball Classic?
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: And if not, you should get a call, and would
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you say, yes, I have.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Got a call.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: We talked, you know, early on, but I haven't heard back.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: It was kind of right around the time that I was,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: you know, signing with the Phillies, and so I don't know.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: I think it would be really cool. It would be
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: uh tough, just because it's my first ring training with
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: the Phillies and and it would be a situation where I,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: you know, I would want to you know, be here
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: for the team that you know, I would be playing
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: with for the next two years. But definitely obviously a
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: huge honor to you know, represent America and and go
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: play in the Little baseball obviously a dream for a
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: lot of guys. So yeah, yeah, I mean I think
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: it would be a tough decision. I mean, I definitely,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: like I said, wouldn't be honored. But it's kind of
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: tough because you know, I'm hoping to pitch really long
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: so the Phillies and into October this year, and so yeah.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: It's I did get a phone call though, so I
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: appreciate that.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and some of your teammates won't be in spring
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: training for long, Bryce Schwarber, maybe some others too, so
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: we'll find out. But they still have to fill out,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: like hath their bullpen.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: I'm looking at the rosters, so you.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Might get another call, but good to know, right it
• 14:31

  Speaker 1: of how that goes down?
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: Jj uh Dave called me first to let me know
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: I've been traded, and then I got a call from
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: J and uh, he basically said, welcome home, and I said,
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: I couldn't be more excited.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: To be home. So it's, uh, it feels like a movie.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: That's who drafted me, who brought me up. And I
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: kind of gave JJ a little hard time. I said,
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: you guys ran such a great organization that received the
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: butt heads everywhere I went, So it was it's good
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: to be back.
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: Are you driving as you do this interview? Are you
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: hopefully there's someone else driving?
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Nah?
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: If Yeah, my brother drives me everywhere.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: So.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: Because he's good because I do a lot of crazy things,
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: but I've never done an interview while driving, at least
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: pull over.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Well you've done that, but you do that the phone.
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, on the phone, totally on the phone, not like
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: actually on video driving and trying to look at the
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: camera and trying to drive, especially on if you're on
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: Itan out there in Phoenix, there's a good chance you
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: might get pulled over, watched out for the cameras, the
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: speed cameras and all that junk where they'll send the
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: picture to your house.
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think they pull people over out here.
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: I think it's just I recommendation how fast to go.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: No, not true.
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: I got pulled over full uniform in spring training one year.
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: And I got a ticket in full uniform on my
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: way to the Reds from Goodyear from fun deal. Yeah, yeah,
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: full uniform. Side of the road guy gives me a
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: ticket and he goes, where are you going. I'm like,
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: I'm going to the baseball game. And he's like, is
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: that why you're dressed in uniform? And I said, well, no, officer,
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: I just thought i'd wear this today because doesn't it.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: Look good on me?
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: Like yes, in person that I'm a player going to
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: the game. So anyways, but I decreate. How excited are you?
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: I mean, I know you loved your time in Philly. Philly,
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: you guys had a great run there. But now you're
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: going to a team in Kansas City that's kind of
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: on the up and they have great younger players.
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: How excited are you to be a leader in this
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: bullpen for the Royals?
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: I mean I I I'm so excited to be back.
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: And just I mean, the biggest, the biggest thing for
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: me right now in my career is I want to win,
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: and uh, you know, I think I think this is
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: a young team with a lot of talent, and I
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: mean last year didn't and how they wanted it to.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: Obviously very disappointed.
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: But when you mix that with some young guys that
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: that can that could turn into a dangerous recipe, and
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: you know, anything can happen, and I'm I'm excited to
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: see what what Kansas City can do.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: You said you I thought you said at the end
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: when you're talking about the conversation with JJ Piccolo, he said,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: I've butted heads everywhere I've went.
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: What do you mean you butted heads? What do you
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: mean like that?
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Is that that?
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: I mean, I'll just say Kansas City Royals do an
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: unbelievable job of not only producing major league athletes, but
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: they produced men like that is something I was brought
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: up with Kansas City and Date Moore. His whole thing was,
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: we're gonna have good ball players, but we're gonna first
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: make sure you guys are good men. And uh, you know,
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: Kansas City kind of just has in my opinion, they
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: do they do it the right way.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: Ten thirty ground balls mean Russy Coots was hitting that
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: funk go at ten thirty It wasn't ten thirty five
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: because we're waiting on Hosper. Osper was there five minutes early,
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: so you know, it's uh, it's I am a very
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: routine human being. I love structure, and structure doesn't work
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: unless there's discipline or someone enforcing the structure.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: All right, So now let's go to the team you
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: just left. How do you feel like your time went
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: in Philly? And were you happy? I mean, they obviously
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: traded you away, which happens to all of us.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: We get traded, we get moved. Is there anything maybe
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: you wish different happenings?
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: I mean, I know, besides winning a World Series, But
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: how do you how do you sew up your time
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: in Philadelphia as a Philly.
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: I mean, the best way to put it is it
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: was the best three years of my career. You know
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: it was again, I love this game. Yeah, money is awesome,
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: don't get me wrong, but winning is better. Like I
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: love winning, And that's the most winning I've done in
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: my career is in Philly. And it was fun to
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: do it in front of a packed house every night,
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: whether it be June Tuesday, in June or the playoffs
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: in October. You know, it was an exciting place to
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: show up and work every day. But yeah, I mean
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: obviously fell short of the goal. And again, it's business.
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: You can't control it. Now I'm gonna go try to
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: win one in Kansasity.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Talking about Philly again, Matt Gelb and other writers wrote
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: about how maybe you and Costianos had some butting aheads
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: with players or front office. How is that? How do
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: you take that and how is that perceived from a
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: player's standpoint when you're like, Wow, I really truly want
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: what you just said, win and go out there and
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: men being men?
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, first of all, I would like I mean,
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: I don't I'm unaware of any player I've ever bought
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: it ahead with there.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's all.
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: I'm a middle reliever. I'm not going to be a
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: Hall of Famer. But the one thing I control is
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: being a good teammate. And I don't think there's one
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: guy in there that would say a bad thing about me.
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: But uh, you know, it's everything's business, and I'll call
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: a spade a spade, and in this business those guys
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: usually are like But at least I know I have
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: my job because I'm the guy for the job.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: There you go, Okay, I respect that. Listen.
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: We all know, especially for me, we know how the
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: media can spin things and make things out of nothing.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: So listen, I respect exactly what you just said. And listen.
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: The only people that truly know you are the people
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: inside your clubhouse.
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: And other than that, you know, people outside can say, oh, this,
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: and now we think this, we think that. Would they
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: ain't in there every day, and they ain't in there
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: grinding with you every day, and they don't know what
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: you're about, then who cares.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: What they say? That's kind of the way I look
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: at them.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: So yep, exactly.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, Matt, do you feel like, you know, like, what
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: was it like at the end just now with Philly
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs? Obviously you guys fell to a Dodgers
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: team that was really damn good. So was it disappointing
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: knowing that you had, you know, such a talented roster
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: and all of that, and obviously they're gonna try and
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: run it back again. But it did feel like, you know,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the window does close eventually when you have a number
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: of superstars like that.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt.
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean last year, honestly, all three years they
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: had felt the same, like you just were so talented.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: We came up short. We didn't do the end goal.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: I still think the one that hurts me the most
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: still is the NLCS against the Diamondbacks. That was just
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: I mean, I still have a sour taste in my
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: mouth about that one.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: So uh yeah, I don't. I mean, losing sucks.
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: Winning's good and if there's only one that gets to
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: win at the end.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: So all right, Scott Broun, We're not gonna show him
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: because it's just gonna be me and you on the screen.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: He's got huge biceps, so don't be intimidated by him.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: But he called the Phillies a regular season team. Is
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: there any credence to that? Is there anything you're on
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: that team? I try, we try to explain to Scott. Look,
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: you go out, you play the game. Yes, the results
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: in the postseason doom hatter. But is there such a
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: thing as a regular season team? And where the Phillies
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: a regular season team?
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: I mean, we all know playoff baseball like it you
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: run into a rocket. They could have been the I
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: mean that was the Phillies in twenty two. They were
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: the worst worst team in the playoffs and next thing
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: you know, they're a Game seven of the World Series.
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: It's like, so the playoffs, the playoffs is an animal
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: you can't control.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: So I mean can't.
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: We're all regular season teams, like, all thirty of them.
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: People don't understand how hard it is just to make
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: the postseasons. So let's also not let's not forget about that.
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: How hard just to make the postseason in baseball, it's
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: a lot harder than any other sports, So let's not
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: forget about that. And then you're facing the best and
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: then you're facing the best pitchers, the best teams, and
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: there's no let there's no game off. Right, So it's
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: it's very hard to win a World Series. It's extremely
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: hard to win a World Series, no matter how good
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: your team is. Right, So that that's why, you know whatever,
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: don't just don't listen to Scott Scott, just ignore.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: He's got nothing to do with Matt Strom. I'm just
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: saying that the Phillies offense was dynamic in the in
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the regular season, and they obviously you're not going to
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: score as much in the playoffs, but they some of
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the the superstar set at themselves, some of them on
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: the Phillies. So Matt I did two hours on a
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: talk show every day. You know, you've done media and
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: all of that. I'm like, Hey, the guys themselves, Schwarber
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: and others would say themselves, hey, we.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: Got to do more.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: They said it every year after those losses.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean the media set, it was a
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: picture's full, you know.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: That media not me, not me.
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: He'd come back, great, comeback. All right, let's move on.
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: Let's move on from the Phillies. You're no longer a Philly.
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: You had a great time in Philly, cool all that stuff.
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: You haven't had to cut your hair in Kansas City.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: You clearly grown your beard out, which is also awesome.
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: But you're a big card collector. How many autographs are
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: you gonna ask Bobby Witz Junior for as soon as
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: you walk it? Are you just gonna walk in with
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: like a stack of cards like this and say, Bobby teammate, dues, dude,
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: just start signing.
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: Bro Well, so I know Bobby is a big card
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: collector himself too, and I in the owner of one
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: of his rarest rookie audit drafts. So there's gonna be
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: a stack of cards he'll have to sign if he's
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: thinking he's gonna get that in the trade.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: So so we'll see.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Oh I like that because that that brings me to
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: my question. Is there like a hierarchy in the card land?
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: When you look at a guy like Bobby Witting you
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: and everybody knows what his contract is, it's it's big
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: nine figures and you both are card efficionados.
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: Do you look at him?
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Go?
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Man, bro If I had that kind of money, I'd
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: be buying all the kinds of stuff like I don't
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: have the coolest stuff, Like is there that in the
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: card in the card land?
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: I'm sure there is. For some me.
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: As a card collector, I'm a huge I call myself
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: a pack rat.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: I enjoy the chase.
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: I mean like some guys enjoy scratch off lottery tickets
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: and just the adrenaline Russ's scratching. I like opening packs
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: and whatever I open is what I collect.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: I'm not. I'm not like a guy that is like, oh,
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: I need the.
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: Rookie Michael Jordan card, so I'm gonna go buy it
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: a PSA ten. I might find a pack of eighty
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: six and open it up and see if I can
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: hit his rookie card, but I'm more of a pack rat.
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: I enjoy it, enjoy the chase. But there's definitely some
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: people that are like, yeah, oh, if I had your money,
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: I'd buy a whole case of cards. And it's like, well,
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: it's financially not smart. It's like the way I collect. Yeah,
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: the way I collect is shoot myself in the foot
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: for sure, Like I'm not making money on what I spend,
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: but it's uh, it's just a fun little adrenaline rush
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: for me.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: I guess I don't gamble.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: I don't do do that. That is my gambling baseball cards.
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: I just say most some people would say that's gambling.
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: So then that leads me to the next thing. Do
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: you like where card collecting has gone? Because it used
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: to be you can buy a pack for fifty cents
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: or quarter and you get the little piece of bad
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: bubble gum that tasted for about three choos and then
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: you had to throw it out because you can break
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: your teeth off, right, But now it's thirty bucks for
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: pack or three hundred bucks for a box or wherever
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: it is.
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: Are you okay with that?
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: It's it's getting crazy. I mean when I first got
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: back into it in like twenty eighteen, you could buy
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: a box of tops chrome for one hundred and twenty
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: nine bucks, and now I think they're two fifty. So
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: it's it's getting expensive becoming a I don't know, it's
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: like golf, a rich man's sport, I guess, but it's uh, yeah,
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: I'm not I wouldn't say. The traditionalist in me would say, no,
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: I'm not a fan in the direction it's going.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm gonna do my my classic question. I've been
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: asking dudes, especially from the US, have you gotten a
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: phone call about Team USA? Because you should get one.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: They only have a few relievers right now.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: I haven't.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, if you do get a phone call, are
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: you in.
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: I mean it's USA, who wouldn't be.
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why I figure.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I mean they've they've got a lot of the position
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: players obviously, you know a lot of that's figured out,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: and even actually for the first time, you're seeing some
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: you know more number one number two starters join the
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: fold here.
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: So what do you think about that?
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Do you think there's any reason for the change there?
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I know it's been like a hotly debated topic for
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the past probably decade at this point, like how does
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Team USA get their starters that are, you know, superstars
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: onto the roster.
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: I mean, I think the reason I think it goes
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: back to AJSA and how hard it is to make
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: the playoffs and we see these the atmosphere of the WBC,
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: and we've seen what the playoffs have been the last
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: few years, and I think guys are hungry for that
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: adrenaline rush and that that atmosphere. So I think it's uh,
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: I think that's what's kind of taking them out of
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: the woodworks here to I don't know, kind of turned
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: the cheek to the owners.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: I'm sure the owners aren't happy when.
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: We're playing this, but it's uh, it's an experience of
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: a lifetime.
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: If you ask me, agreed, agreed all right?
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: On your hat you can't really see it. It says
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: lank archery, which is I'm assuming what lancaster archery?
• 30:16

• 30:21

• 30:23
  Speaker 7: Can I get a lank archery like they made? Do
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: I have to play for the Phillies? Maybe because I
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: know they made a special one for j T. They
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: made one for Schwarves, they made one made you.
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: They made one for roup out in sand fran And
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: then uh is it Bubba Chandler in Pittsburgh. Yeah, MoMA Chandlersburgh.

• 30:49
  Speaker 7: what you might want to try and find Bubba Chandler's
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: rookie card. It could be worth something and that.
