- 2:00so it's been it's been like one or two years now. It's been a
- 2:02lot of fun. I haven't been in adjusting to these rules here. Yeah
- 2:06know the rules were certainly a little bit of adjustment, but it's a ton
- 2:08of fun. The warehouse is always quirky, well adjustin. Thanks for joining
- 2:12me to thanks so much. All right, Well I'm here with what they
- 2:14were changing. Oh man, Dan, I don't know why you look pretty
- 2:16young right now, but I you got off the plane from Vegas and into
- 2:20the warehouse games. Yes, man, I cover boxing. It was a
- 2:23really big fight this week out in Las Vegas. Canol Over has picked up
- 2:25a big win. I was out there getting content to John Boid Media and
- 2:29our show Inside Boxing Live, and then I said I gotta be ability.
- 2:31So I got on the plane headed back here to be with my boys and
- 2:36give it all we had. He came up just short. We got ice
- 2:38their studs. I'm really happy. I'm proud of my team's effort, Jolly
- 2:44Olive and myself so all around. Great day. Talk with her. Daddy
- 2:46said, you didn't play college ball, but this is different. You gotta
- 2:49get the pitching under seventy year or had seventy. That's gotta be a mechanics
- 2:53thing, right, Yes, it's a lot of like adrenaline. Adrenaline is
- 2:55big in Blitzball. You can get in there and be all hyped up and
- 2:58next thing you know, you're throwing seventy before you're throwing seventy five. So
- 3:00to get the pitch under seventy is really hard. Peter Moyland obviously played for
- 3:05the Braves. He tell me to put extra finger on the ball or separate
- 3:07your grip and we'll make it go under seventy. So to have a Major
- 3:12League baseball player give you some advice, that's like the beauty of working at
- 3:15John Bowie. I was going to say, what's it like working with John
- 3:16Boy because obvious this is a big thing, the John Boy Media. You're
- 3:19part of it. I hear everybody that played the football part of It's right.
- 3:22Yes, I'd work at John Boy Media, and I got the job
- 3:23from Blitzball. I have a backyard wootball field out on Long Island, and
- 3:28they needed a place to play. So I dm Jimmy in twenty twenty two
- 3:31and said you come to my backyard. They came through and then next thing,
- 3:35you know, I asked them for a job. They hired me,

- 4:01The greatest part of battle is that there's so many good grouple that came
- 4:04together. It was a pen shut up getting everybody here, all the fans
- 4:09that showed up early, it was an incredible for me. The best part
- 4:12of that it was all the people that showed up for the sport of book

- 4:58did the fans were behind so enough to think about him? Just downed it
- 5:00in and just have to paint as many corners as I could. And you
- 5:03guys can hit pretty well. But for pitching, I was just talking to
- 5:06the old man Dan right about the mechanics are getting the ball under seventy miles.
- 5:11Now, that's that's a challenge, isn't it. Yeah, it's a
- 5:13want of muscle memory to kind of find that perfect slow for the police.
- 5:15And I mean I tapped it over seventy law, but we kind of doubted
- 5:20it any movie, that's right, and then the hitting. You guys were
- 5:23in Syne with the hitting right, Yeah, that was awesome man, it
