  Speaker 1: Brewers are World Series champions, Rossi. Can you believe we
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: are saying that?
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I just got done at the field. That place was
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: packed with Brewer fans. The whole lower bowl was standing
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: room only for the trophy presentation. the bars around there
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: are selling more beer than they've ever sold in their lives.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: And the brew crew did it, man. I mean, they
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: were the best team all year long. I know we
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: don't see that year in and year out, but they
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: proved it in the regular season. They were dominant in
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the postseason. Congratulations to that organization. Matt Arnold, Pat Murphy,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: you know, the list goes on and on. So many
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: guys well-deserving. They were grinders. They got so many young guys.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: They've got young guys up and down the lineup. They
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: were rookie shortstop. Didn't even start the year in the show.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Rookie shortstop. The Miz was spectacular. Bryce Terang's an absolute stud.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Do not hit it to the right side of the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: infield because you are out. Jackson Chirio, 22. The Miz, 24.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: It's just, here they come. You know, Luis Lora didn't
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: have a big... He didn't have a big role in
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the postseason, but, I mean, he's an absolute stud, and
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: he's coming. He's 21. They've got Logan Henderson, who's 24.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Cooper Pratt, 22. I mean, just they're coming. They built
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: this thing the right way. They've got more guys coming.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Wire to wire. They've got more guys coming. Yep.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: They have more guys coming.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Wire to wire.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Best team all season. Like you said, Pat Murphy, congratulations
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to you. The owners– Mark Antonacio and his ownership group,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: congratulations to them. Matt Arnold, the president of baseball operations,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: congratulations to you. And the players, man. These players, they showed,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: you were there, but on the broadcast, my favorite part
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: as a kid growing up, as a kid with a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: dream growing up, my favorite part about watching the World Series, always,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and even to this day, I got goosebumps, is the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: last out reactions. After they win and they start subbing,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: then they go back and the broadcast starts showing every
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: player's reaction and seeing them throw their hands up and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: pump and do whatever they do. It's my favorite part.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I remember yesterday, throwing my hands up in the air,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: saluting my dad, saying I'm the champion of the world
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: because that's what I always said I would do. So
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: cool to see them, the Brewers, It's so cool to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: see them play like kids. That's the joy of it. Ross,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you were on the field, but I don't know if
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you saw the interview with Cooper Pratt. It was the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: most wholesome thing one can see. He was just like,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I can't believe this. This only took four months. This
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: is the most fun, the most pressure games I've ever played,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the most fun. I messed up a bunch of times
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in this playoffs. My teammates had my back. all of
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: these guys were just so excited and it couldn't be
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: happier for Christian Yelich, right?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: As a fan of the game, playing against him for
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: so many years, respecting what he does every single day,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: they give him the captain, Brandon Woodruff, him making this roster,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: getting the pitch, you know, I know he gave up
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a run, but still just what that means to pitch
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in the World Series and be part of it is
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: something special, so I know the scenes from Milwaukee looked crazy.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: That city's going to be– they definitely know how to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: drink up there. That's for damn sure, and I'm sure they're.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Going to be celebrating this one. Did you see that
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: guy climbing? Did you see that shot of the bar
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: that was going crazy? Did you see that kid climbing
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the rafters there? Yeah. What was he doing?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: We had fun celebrating the Brewers, and my brother died.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: This guy was going way up there. I'm with, I
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: think Cooper Pratt, I did see, I didn't see the interview,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: but when we were on set, they were showing on
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the TV, um, leading up to our show, they were
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: showing some of the highlights and I I'm with you
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: with the, that's gotta be the best part, the final
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: out and seeing everybody just get that, that energy release.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: But Cooper Pratt yelling at the top of his, well,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you could see the veins in his neck, just so excited,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: you know, to, to be so young in the show and,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, bro, he raked these last few games, too.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: He had six hits.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: He was six for his last six.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. That's insane.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: The biggest stage.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. And the biggest stage when it matters the most. Yeah.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Another massive wholesome moment was William Contreras, right, for a
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: number of reasons. You see Wilson there, his brother, big leaguer,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: just so excited. Straight off a plane from Hawaii. He
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: was on vacation enjoying his.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Small flex.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Small flex. Yeah, I flew in from Maui.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And that moment, right, brothers playing, both brothers in
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the big leagues, right? Could have been a potential Red
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Sox Brewers World Series. That would have been insane. But
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: then on the field after, you know, William was on
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Team Venezuela when they won the WBC. This journey for
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: him personally started– You know what I mean?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Winning the championship. I didn't think that.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Everything Venezuela's gone through this year with the earthquakes and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: how emotional that's been. And I know, I know, I
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: definitely know Wilson is so connected to that Venezuelan community
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and William too. And he had the Venezuelan flag. So
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: just a really cool moment post game, seeing him represent
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Venezuela and his country and giving them the shout out.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And the emotions that came out from it. You know, I,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Being a catcher, I just always follow that. Congratulations to
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: him for being World Series MVP. Well-deserved. You could have
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: picked Aaron Ashby. You could have picked Churio, but I thought.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: They gave it to the right guy. Cooper Pratt was
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: making a late push.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Cooper Pratt, yeah, he made a late push for sure. But,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, he hit. 381 in the World Series. He
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: had a dominant. I actually thought he could have been
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: or should have been. Maybe I say could have been
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: because I was happy Jake Bowers got it, but Could
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: have been the CS MVP, but he carried that hotness
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: right into the World Series and hit almost 400, threw
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: out three guys, blocking balls, plays at the plate, tags,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: in the middle of everything, scoring runs, getting hits, challenges,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: and leading that step. Every guy, we've said it on here,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: but every guy in that bullpen or starter has given
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: him so much credit for his leadership and being on
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the same page. It's so important when you're in the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: catcher position. I'm so happy for him and his family.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: But he just fell to his knees and just kind
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: of stayed there for a minute. Like, wow. You know, like,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: we did it. The emotion you talked about when he
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: got to the MVP and, you know, crying. And we
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: know how emotional Wilson is playing with him. And it
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: came out of his brother, too, in those moments. Just
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: super pumped for him. And it's only the seventh catcher
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: all time to win a World Series MVP. So, shout
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: out to him. Congrats to him. And I also... I
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: love that you gave love to Yelly and Woodruff, the
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: two longest tenured players, the position player side and the
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: pitching side. Both those guys have been there a long time,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: going through some ups and downs, and finally winning a
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: World Series is pretty special, man. Those guys are connected
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: for life, brothers for life, and they're such grinders. We
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: know that feeling, and it never gets old seeing those
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: guys for the rest of your life. When I see
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: guys with the Red Sox or I see– our teammates
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: in Chicago. It just, you pick up right where you
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: left off. There's so many great memories. So, so happy
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: for them. There's something about the warm summer air and
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: a cold Corona with lime that makes the roar of
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the crowd sound a lot like the roar of the waves.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: That's cause this is our playa and the best seats
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: are always wherever you're sitting.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Whether it's a weeknight game under the lights or a
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon in the sun, you know, baseball isn't about
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: rushing around. It's about settling in, letting the game come
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: to you and nothing pairs better than Than an ice

• 9:53
  Speaker 1: We celebrated our 10-year anniversary of winning in 2016, and
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you just still hear the stories. Bro, this is their
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: first World Series championship in franchise history. So all of
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: these Brewers fans, all of these fans in Milwaukee, like, bro,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I remember I was thinking when I saw them.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Win, right?
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I used to always drive up to Milwaukee for the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: most part. And there was this one guy I'm going
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to miss on these names, right? Whenever I'd pull in
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the parking lot, I'd always stop, roll down my window.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: He knew me. I knew him. And we would talk
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: for like two, three minutes. He was the parking attendant
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: going into the visiting players lot. And he was just talking.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: This is when we were beating up on the Brewers.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: And he's, ah, come on, take it easy on us.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: You guys can give us a few wins. We need
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the help. And I just always looked forward to seeing him.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: He was always happy. Always very friendly to me and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: my family when we were coming in and out. And
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: then you roll through there. It was Miller Park at
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the time. And the dude that led us in the clubhouse,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I'd always talk to him about sports betting because he
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: loved talking football and who he had. And I was like, oh, dude,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: what do you got? He was really smart. So Phil Rosowitz,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: they're visiting clubhouse. Phil, as I was about to say.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I saw him– there's some clips of him in the dugout.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, dude, Phil's in the– I was like, damn, Phil's–
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I knew– but Ben is now their head clubhouse guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Ben used to be the two-man for Phil in the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: visiting clubhouse. So a lot of– you just– when you
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: play against these franchises, your division rivals, you get to
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: know people in that organization. And they're good people. So
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: as much as you and I– I mean– I hated
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: playing the Brewers. I did. And as much as I
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: hated them, you respect them, and you're happy for those
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: guys on the inside there. Phil Rosowitz, the visiting clubhouse
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: manager for the Milwaukee Brewers, I have a couple stories
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: about him. He gave KB and I our own personal towels.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: He got them embroidered, right? I think KB's was like
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: MVP after he won in 16. He got me a
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: personally embroidered one. And then every time I would go there, Rossi,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Cubs and Yankees, he'd always make banana bread. He has
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the best banana bread in the game. If you're in
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee and you know Phil, if he makes you banana bread,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you better feel loved because it is elite. So just
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: seeing those guys, being happy for them is really cool. Bro,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: they showed a clip of Ashby running from the bullpen
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: like Forrest Gump, bro. He had his glove in his hand,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the ball, and he's just like a little kid. I'm
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: watching with Emily. She's like, oh my God, look at
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: this guy.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: He's so happy.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: That's how wholesome... watching felt so just really cool.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I saw the same they they had yelly running out
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: of the out of the off the bench in that
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: and if it looked like you know those long strides
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: he had he couldn't get out there fast enough that
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: was so cool you said something in that comment and
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: i don't want to brush over that milwaukee fans are
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: people there that work there are amazing and i got
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: to see the door guy while we were doing the
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: games underneath and we caught up as well and the
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: back door guy where You go in the back door
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: to go to the cage. He was there. I don't
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: remember their names as well. But you said something in that,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: and I got a little sad. Do we have to
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: stop celebrating our 10-year anniversary now if the season's over?
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Are we on to the 11th year? Listen, listen.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: It's been a nice run this year. I've enjoyed it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I say this with all due respect. We won the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: best championship of all time. But it's not about us.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: This is about the Milwaukee Brewers and their fan base.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: And also, you've got to give some love to the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays, right? Winning the American League pennant, it's
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: gut-wrenching to lose, bro. You've never felt it, obviously. I did, unfortunately.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: You left as a champion in your last game. I
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: left as a fucking loser in my last game. It sucks, bro.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: You're winning at life.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: You're winning at life.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you. But, bro, Christian Jelic, right? Gets traded over there.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: On the Marlins, kind of just... Kind of just I
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: don't want to say suffering on the Marlins because you
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: go back and look at those Marlins teams. They trade
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: away Stan. They trade away Ozuna. They have starting pitching, right?
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Riomuto. Riomuto was on that team. Riomuto.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: And they trade Yelly to the Brewers, and he just–
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: he already was really good and elite in Miami. Maybe
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: he got overshadowed by Big G. But then he goes
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: to Milwaukee, wins an MVP, right? Just keeps putting up
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: year after year. They reward him with a big contract.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: He grinds it out.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I think the next year or the year before the
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: next year, he finished second. Yeah. He's a stud.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And then doesn't have a, but Pat Murphy realizes what
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: he means to that team. And they reward him with
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the captain, the sea on his chest, like just really
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: cool storylines. And everyone, I think what fans don't realize
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: is every single guy in that clubhouse, every single staff
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: member from the bottom up is on their own journey, right? There's,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt's a rookie. You have Gary Sanchez, who's the
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: backup catcher winning his first World Series, right, who is
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: very loved and respected in that clubhouse. You saw him, what,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: get one at bat? Just so many different ends of
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the spectrum of someone winning a championship. Aaron Ashby, right,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: starter now in the bullpen. So, so many cool storylines
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that come out of it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: It was amazing. I got to bring one thing over.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: You were talking about our championships. And I love Trevor McGill. Amazing.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Amazing dude. He pitched for me. I love the guy.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: But he just won a World Series.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what I was just going to say, bro.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: He just won a World Series.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Just won a World Series.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: What do you have to say to these fans that
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: are literally at the top of the dugout right now?
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Have fun talking shit to Chicago next year.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: We have a race.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Trev, come on, man.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's so McGill, bro. That's so great. Oh, that
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: was funny. Catching strays. Just won a World Series. The
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Cubbies are catching some strays.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I look at that as living rent-free in
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Brewers fans' heads, but look, they're on top, bro. Like,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: that organization right now is... That's... Just, bro, just think
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: about this. In 2020, David Stearns leaves, right? A few
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: years ago, you get shit-canned and Craig Council... comes over
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: to the Cubs. They lose their manager. Matt Arnold takes
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: over as president. Pat Murphy takes over as manager eventually.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: That just shows the strength of that entire organization, right?
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: You lose your president and you lose your manager who
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: was there for seven, eight, nine years, right? Like that,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: their organization is so deep that every, you know, every
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: other organization now is knocking on the door saying, all right,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: what's making you guys successful? Successful. This is a copycat league.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: What are you doing in player development? You guys are
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: getting guys out of nowhere. You're developing these pitchers. Trevor
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: McGill was kind of a little journeyman, and now he's
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: been a dominant closer the last couple years. Bro, they
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: have the number one prospect on his way up. He's
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: 19 years old. Jesus Made?
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Made. Made. Made. Made.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: And they have reinforcements on the way. They have the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: number one farm system. This is a testament to that
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: entire organization from their... god awful spring training complex in
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: maryville to the big leagues and uh i believe they're
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: they're complex in the dominican republic is really nice but
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: it's just a testament from the very bottom to the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: very top of how deep that organization is.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Well on that point you know what i said on
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: air tonight too the impressive part for me you see
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: teams have good years and then fall off like They've
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: won the division four years in a row now, right?
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: And then the first year, get knocked down the wild card.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Second year, knock down the wild card. Third year, they
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: go to the championship series and get swept. So you're like,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: when are they going to get over that hump? Like,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: we know they're a good team. We know they've dealt,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: but they're taking the steps forward each year. And then
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: this year, they do the whole dang thing and win
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the World Series. So impressive, the steps they've made, the
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: farm system like you talked about, the youth they have,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: how they've drafted and nailing that. It's been really, really
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: impressive to me.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Bro, Murphy, Pat Murphy was talking about it. How about
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Pat Murphy just being an absolute lifer in the game, right?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I remember when he was the interim manager for the Padres,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: he was just getting absolutely shit on, right?
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: He, he crawled. So other college coaches can run.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: But so Pat, Pat Murphy, right. In college for so
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: long has his own kids, has his story about, man,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: this isn't about me anymore. Like I'm going to figure
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: this whole coaching thing out. They did a great piece
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: on him. And then he becomes a man. He becomes
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: a bench coach. He, he, he works his way up
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: in the Padres organization. Then he becomes a bench coach
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: for Milwaukee. Now he's the manager just, again, another great story.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: He's 60, what? He's 70 years old, Murph?
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's 60. I think he's in his 60s.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I know. I'm pretty sure he's in his 60s. I
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: know he got his first job at 67. I think,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: you know, and two, he's one of those guys that
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: feels like he's a traditionalist and the mentality he talks about,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the way he talks about this group, When you get
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: to be a manager, you have the things that are
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: important to you, but when you have the accountability from
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the players and these guys that play with the intensity
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: and the hustle and the fight and overcoming adversity, which
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: we know comes in baseball, and these guys just, I think,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: embody that, That's who they are, I think, as a group, one,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: but also when your manager embodies that and they've kind
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: of taken on his personality of just no nonsense, no excuses.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: This is what's going to happen. I heard a story.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Tim Kirshen told me a story, a really cool story.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I'll probably steal it if I ever get to manage again. Colleague,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: not your partner.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Colleague?
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Colleague. My colleague, Tim Kirshen, not my partner. But he
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: told me a story in spring training. He said, hey, listen,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: everyday players, You're going to get 550 at-bats. 500 of
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: those at-bats are yours. But 50 of those at-bats where
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: they need you to get a guy over, get a
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: bunt down, hit a sack fly, get a runner from
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: second to third, do the little things. 50 of those
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: at-bats are not for me, but for your teammates, for
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: the organization, for the fans. And I thought that was,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I've never heard it put that way. And it was
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: so well said. There's an unselfish point in our game
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: that we have to, sacrifice our at-bats, our stats, the
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: things that are going to carry us in a free
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: agency and get us paid to win a baseball game.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: And that's probably going to be 50 at-bats, 25 at-bats
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: for even the big boys, even the guys that are
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: everyday players. You're going to have to do that to
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: help us win a ball game. And the fact you
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: set that standard in spring training and that mentality, I
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: thought was so well said and so important to winning.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: No doubt. I think, too....
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: It kind of reminded me of us 10, 11 years ago, honestly.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: They got swept by the Dodgers last year. And Murph
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: said it, too, when they lost to the Mets the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: year before, right, on the walk-off. And they trade away guys,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and they get swept last year by the Dodgers. Like,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: this is– I don't know why. Like, this is– we're
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: going to learn from this, guys. We're going to get
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: over the hump. We're going to learn from this. And
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: you heard Trevor McGill after the game saying, last year
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: when we got swept– we knew it was a learning
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: moment and like, this is proof in the pudding right
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: now that we, we, we got closer last year, them
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: getting swept. They got closer. That's exactly how we were
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: in 2015. We got swept by the Mets and we
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: got closer and we rolled in to spring training in
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: 2016 and we were wire to wire. We were the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: best team in baseball. Now they weren't, they were not
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: projected to go wire to wire where we were, but
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: that's just a credit to literally Pat Murphy and his
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: entire staff, right?
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Like, Just grinders. Let's get to our... Let's get to our...
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Before we forget, we got to do our Corona Playa.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Playa. Playa, the game. We haven't even talked about him
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: yet because we've been waiting to talk about him. Jacob Mizorowski.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Got to see the Cy Young version of him tonight. Honestly, Rossi,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: we got to see the Cy Young version of him
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the entire playoffs. This whole narrative of Oh, he hasn't
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: been the best. Dude had four starts throughout the playoffs.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: They won all of his starts, four or five. He
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: had a 1-8 ERA. Tonight he goes five and two-thirds,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: two hits, no runs. Why is it when you're so
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: good and you just keep being that good, it's never
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: good enough in this sport?
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I don't understand that.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Why? Because he didn't throw eight innings every time? Well,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: when you're so good, they only see the flaws, right?
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: What flaws did he have that he only threw five
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: innings per game?
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: If I was going to be critical, I'll be critical.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I'll be critical. He only, you know, this is what
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: people were going to say. Well, he's not striking everybody out. Like,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: that's a big deal. Who cares? You don't need to.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I'm with you.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I'm with you.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I'm with you.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: If he strikes everyone out, well, you're going to make points,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to count you right away. He strikes
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: every now and then. His pitch counts too high. He's
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Blake Snell. He can't go eight innings.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I think he went four innings the first start, four
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: and a third the second start, and five the third start.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: You expect horses to go six, seven innings and punch
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: out the world, right? That's the standard he set for
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: fans and media. That's the standard he set during the
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: regular season. He's the best pitcher in the National League
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: this year. He's going to win the Cy Young.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: He's the best pitcher in the playoffs this year.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's right. Starter. I'm not saying it's right,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: but if I, like the one thing I would say
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: is like, and we had him on set and he said,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I was trying to be so perfect. I was trying
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: to do too much. Tonight, he was as poised as
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: I've seen him in the postseason. He handled the biggest
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: moment he's ever been in his life at 24 years old.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: And all the things that he's done all year, he
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: handled it with such poise and grace and put that
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: team on his back and said, know what, boys? I've
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: got you. And he would have pitched at least six.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: He was one out away from going a complete six
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: innings until he had the calf thing pop up. But
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: that's the thing I think people get caught up in.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: It's like we've seen all these other things. And part
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: of that is we've seen other guys just go deeper.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Part of that narrative is Pat Murphy has a military
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: full of arms down the bullpen that he was rolling out.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, seven guys down there that have been absolutely
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: dominant in the postseason. So I'm with you. It's never enough.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I definitely agree with you on that statement. But what
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I would say is that you expect the Cy Young
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Award winner and one of the best pitchers in baseball.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: to be a little, go a little bit deeper is
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: what I would say in, you know, the command was
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: a little bit off. He threw the, he, I saw
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: a stat on our ESPN. Go ahead. Go ahead.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: You saw a stat on ESPN?
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: No, I just mean for like, like navigating, navigating, watching
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: him pitch. It just wasn't the same guy. We did
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: a couple of his games this year for ESPN. Just
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: wasn't the same guy. And I think part of that, like, again,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: we have to give credit. The Rays were the best
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: team at baseball putting the ball in play as a contact.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: I think it was the second best contact team in
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: the game, I think, or first. Um, you know, that's
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: the only thing I'm not criticizing him. I'm just trying
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: to explain to my partner where all that.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: No, no, I understand that. It's just, you know, everyone's like, Oh,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: he's going to learn from this. It's what is he
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: learning from?
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: That he didn't go an extra he's he's on 50
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: plus extra innings of workload. This dude is second. It's his,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I believe it's his first full season in the big leagues.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: It is. You know what I mean?
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: And he's pitching the last game of the season. He's
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: pitching massive games for his team, right? None of the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Brewers starters went deep. So, I don't know, man.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Like, I love... I understand. You want to see Brayden...
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: I love when I was catching and guys are trying
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: to attack Jon Lester earlier and they're popping balls up
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: and his pitch count's low and We got soft contact.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Who cares about strikeouts? We got low kind. He can
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: go deeper with that bullpen getting used yesterday. He was
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: so efficient today. I thought, like I said this a
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: couple times about him, I just thought his poise grew
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: each and every start. He's so young. I thought on
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: the big stage, it just felt like a little jumpy
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: and antsy, and he was able to calm himself down.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: I think William Contreras, he mentioned, talked to him about
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: not trying to be so perfect and just try to
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: execute each pitch. Because he's got... I saw a stat
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: where he threw the most pitches over 100 miles per
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: hour ever in a World Series.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Bro, his first 24 of his first 26 pitches were
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: all over 100 miles an hour. I was watching this game,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: and I go, God damn. I'm like, what the fuck?
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: What the fuck? Again. And that's the other thing I
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: loved about his start was he came out and he's like,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: you know what? I'm pumping heaters. I've got great stuff.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I'm going to move it around the zone, in, out.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: And he didn't even break out his off-speed stuff until
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: I think second time through the lineup. Yeah.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just– and that's why he's our Corona
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: player of the game. Corona, thank you for being such
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: a great partner to us. Bro, the Brewers bullpen, 65 innings,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: a 1-3 ERA, second lowest ERA by any bullpen in
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: postseason history. Only team to ever get to the World
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Series where no starter recorded a win in the playoffs, right?
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: They made– their defense wasn't great.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: It was good.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: It wasn't great to the playoffs. They got their first
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: win by a starter in the World Series. That's how
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: good their bullpen was.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: No doubt. No doubt. They blew them all out yesterday.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Both teams made some mistakes. They're good defensive teams. But
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: I think the one thing that I also marveled at,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: there were some amazing plays made this World Series. You
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: know what I mean?
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Like a lot of mistakes. Bryce Terang made second base
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: look like it was– he put on a clinic.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: A clinic. And Jake Bowers made a great dive and
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: stop to the early game, save and run.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: That play by Bowers– Playing first base, a right-handed hitter
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: hitting a ball to your left side at first is
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: so rare. And the fact that he got that good
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: of a jump off that was, I was like, damn,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: that's a nice play right there.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: And that was a lead-off hit.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: That would have been a lead-off double.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: That's a double. If Vlade hit that, that would have
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: been a lead-off double.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: And then another one in the game was Bryce Terang
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: when he was on second base. I forget who was hitting,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: but it was a line drive over the second baseman's head.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Terang got a great jump on that. It's a tiny
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: little thing that really you're not going to see in
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the box score, but if he would have froze on that,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: The third base coach is holding them. It's a different outcome.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: So a lot of really good baseball in this, which was– look,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: the product of baseball is better than it's ever been.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of talk about the three
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: true outcomes and the way baseball was played 20 years
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: ago and all this yada, yada, yada. These dudes are
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: competing at the highest level with the best stuff. They're
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: hitting the balls the farthest they've ever hit it. There's
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: more home runs. There's more stolen bases. Guys are more
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: athletic now with no shift. It's a beautiful brand of baseball.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Brewers are the kings of all of it
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: in the 2026 season.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Bro, you know a stat I got off the TV today,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: or I think it was a radio as we were
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: listening underneath. The Brewers hadn't lost back-to-back games yet. since
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: freaking Labor Day weekend. Think about how long ago that was, bro.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: That feels like two years ago. That feels like before
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: we won the World Series. My God, of all we
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: went through, these guys have been on an absolute roll.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: And it's because of that bullpen, bro. Second lowest ERA
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: all-time postseason bullpen ERA. Like, that's insane. Like, and those guys,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: it was one guy after another. Didn't matter whose number
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: he called. Down there, man, that's why they won the
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: World Series, in my opinion. No doubt.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because their starters didn't go deep, and you need
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: your starters to go a little deeper than four, five,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: six innings, right? At least one or two of them. So, yeah,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, and they're just relentless offense. They're relentless. They
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: were just– they got punched. They responded right away.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Right away. It was like– Jackson's cheerio offense. 22 years old,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: 11 hits in the World Series, second most hits in
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: the first five games of World Series ever. Like, we've
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: already said it, but the dude's coming, bro. They've got, like,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: it's a fun time to be a Brewers fan.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Fun time to be a Brewers fan, for sure. The
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: party now is just getting going, too. Those guys, like
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: you said, are brothers for life. It's a special bond.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: You saw Robin Yowt there. celebrating there with Yellich, which
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: was awesome.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: As soon as we get off, I'm going to the
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: team hotel. I'm going to find their team hotel. I'm
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: partying all night. Let's go. Don't tempt me with a
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: good time, Brew Crew.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Bro, they should. We may have to cut this part out,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: but they should fucking give you a ring. You're the
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: sacrificial lamb. You got canned, so the council goes over there.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Who knows if they actually win with it. You know,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: it's a whole thing, like, right?
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: We're not going down that road. We're not going down
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: that road. Let's get us some ball bags.

  Speaker 1: Braden Hutchcroft. Hey, the Brewers just won it all at
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the Trop. What was it like winning it all in
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: an opposing stadium and the celebration and just the whole
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: night afterwards? Was it tough being in another city Go Cubs. Brayden,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: I was watching this game with my wife, and when
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: they were popping the confetti and doing all the lights
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: or the smoke behind them and the flames, I was like, damn,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: that's one thing we missed, right? Because it rained right
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: after our game. So we did our post-game celebration in the.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: And it was fucking packed in that locker room with
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: so many people. As it should be. As it should be.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: But it was really– I personally loved clinching on the
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: road because everyone was together. There was no going your
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: separate ways, right? At home, at the end of the day,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: when it's all said and done and you shower, you're
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: going to your house. For us, we were going to
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Lester's house all the time. But most teams, you know,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: you go your own way. You end up in your
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: own bed. There, clinching in Cleveland– Everyone was getting on
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: that bus. Everyone was getting on that plane. You got
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: to celebrate longer. We didn't get home until, what, 5.30
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: in the morning?
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: It was early.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: It was really, really special. I feel like the bond
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: was just... The story was ending, and you got to
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: all end it together, and no one got to leave early.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: No one got to Irish goodbye. No doubt.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I would say... I've gotten to do both and the
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Red Sox hadn't clinched at home in a long time.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: We got to do in 13. That was just as amazing. So,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: you know, we all went to the same bar and
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: you're right. Nobody kind of disappears when you're, when you're home,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: you've got a little more family, not so much travel.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Somebody staying home with the kids or stuff like that.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: So when you got little ones, my mom and dad
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: stayed back with our newborn and my, just my, my
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: son and daughter, my oldest two traveled with us. So, Um,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: but I, I would totally agree with your statement. Like my,
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I think my favorite part of the celebration in Chicago
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: was the plane ride back with everybody. Everybody's kids. My
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: daughter's in the back, Lester and lackey are yelling show
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: kids and giving everybody out, giving all the eight year
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: olds hundreds and sending them back up. I'm like, where
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: did you get that money? And they're like, Mr. Lester, Mr.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Lackey gave you a hundred dollar bills, just throw them around. So, um,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: it was fun. He had like Theo and a dip
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: riding the, riding the beverage cart down as we take off. Like,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: it was insane. It was a good party, and we
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: were all in that little bubble together. And another part,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: when we landed and got on the buses and we
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: got the spray of all the, I forget what it's called,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: but all the fire trucks at the airport spraying the buses. Bro,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: you know I heard. Nothing cooler than that.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Look, I never knew. I never won. I didn't know
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: that this was even a thing, right? The salute when
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: you land. I guess you're supposed to salute them back
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: and thank them and get off. And I think I
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: heard down the grapevine years later that the fire department
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: was annoyed at us that we didn't salute them back
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: in Chicago.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, shoot.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I know, which I'm sorry. Thank you, guys. But my
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: response was, well, we've never won, so I don't think
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: any of us knew how to do it.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Let's run it back. Let's run it back. Let's throw
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: another party. Let's throw another party. We'll get on some
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: buses and head to the airport. Yeah, I don't ever
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: want to disrespect the first responders for sure because that
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. The
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: buses driving down the airport and these guys got the
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: water spraying over from the fire trucks at the airport.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: It was just so cool. All right, next email from Andy.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: You've both done it. What is the feeling truly like
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: when you record the final out and are officially a
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: World Series champion? I got to catch the last out.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Andy, with the Red Sox and You're just hoping.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: to get that out for me. You're thinking through everything.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: And when you finally catch it, the overwhelming, I mean,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: this is just what I thought. I had come back
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: from a long layoff with concussions that year. I literally
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: thanked God, thanked the umpire, and I couldn't wait to
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: get to Koji and him jumping my arms and the
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: boys celebrate like, It was so great. Johnny Gomes caught
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: the first two outs of the inning, and I'm like,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: all right, one more. Let's just hit it to him.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: He's sure-handed out there. Like, I don't care how we
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: get it. And Koji threw a nasty splitter to Carpenter,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: and that was my emotion. And then just everybody's coming
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: to you, which was really cool. Like, as we're pitcher
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: and catcher, you've seen so many moments, and he just
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: jumps in my arm. I've never held another man so high,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: and he felt so light. In that moment, it was
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: a really, really special, cool moment for me. Other than
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: in Cleveland, I was trying to get over the rail.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: My spike was caught on the dang chicken wire in
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: front of the rail. I couldn't get out there fast enough.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: I was having my grandpa moment. You showed your age.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: I did. You showed your age.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, when we won, it's just everything comes at,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: everything came at me hard right away. There's so much
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: that goes into that moment of catching that final out
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: from KB, that your first initial thought is the boys,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: the guys that you just were in the trenches with,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: starting out at spring training, that goal, and winning with
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: them and being excited with them, and you go and
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: dogpile with them. I throw my hands up as a
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: tribute to my dad from when I was a kid,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: but then you go and you start celebrating, you give
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: them the big hugs, and then immediately you start thinking
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: of your family and everyone there and what it took
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: for you to get to that point and how much
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: they've supported you along the way, how much the other
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: families there supported you, all coaches throughout your professional career,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: your collegiate career, your amateur career, right? High school, travel ball,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: every person that went into it, it hit me thinking
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: of them and the journey I was on, right? So
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: it's just, it's the best feeling in the world.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: When you're doing the little dog pile and everybody finally
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: gets up, you go around to every, like when you
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: turn around, you see another teammate that you're so happy for.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: And there's so much, there's just love going out everywhere.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: And it's like, I saw Lester and obviously that's special.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: I see you, I see ski, you know, who I
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: play with and is now a coach with me. You know,
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: you see stropey and like just, Oh, Miggy, my, my,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: my catching partner, Wilson, who's a rookie. Like it just
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: so much love and everybody you turn around, you're like,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. And you just go crazy all over again. Like,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: like I'm trying, I hug KB and we're just telling
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: them like how happy I was. And like, I've got
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: tears in my eyes talking to him and his ears.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Just like, it's, it's, that's my favorite part. Like, you know,
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: the dog pile to make it out there, but then
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: you just turn to every guy and it's all over again.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: You're just so happy for them. And that connection that
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: you have with a brother that you went on this
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: long journey with and finishes world champs.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Christian Yelich said it post-game in an interview. He said,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I just wish everyone could experience this feeling because it's
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: the best. As a professional baseball player, as a major
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: league baseball player, you grow up, every single big leaguer
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: had the dream, right? Bottom of the ninth, two outs,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: World Series, hit the home run in your backyard, or
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: you make the big pitch to win the World Series.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: And that dream, that little kid's dream, Trevor McGill said
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: it too, that the 10-year-old me would be so proud
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: of myself right now. That's the feeling. You just bottle
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: it up and you never, ever forget it. It's been
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: 10 years. I remember it like it was yesterday. Last
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: question from email from John Macy. What's up, guys? Rizzo,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: is there any meaning behind the Horns Up celebration? You
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: would always throw up with the Yankees. I know you
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: didn't go to Texas, so I was wondering if there's
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: a good backstory with it. There's a picture here with
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: you and Glaber. That means I love you. Sign language.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: I love you.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to teach my son that right now. He
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: smiles when I do it to him, so it feels good.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: But yeah, when I would hit a home run there
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: in New York, I'd always give the I love you
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: up to family section to my wife or to her seats.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: We had season tickets there.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: And then Glaber.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Started doing it every time I did it, and then
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: we started doing it on the camera, and it just
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: became a thing. Glaber and I were really close. I
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: was close with everyone on the Yankees, but that's the
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: back story to it.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: J.A. used to do that a lot. Chipper did that
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: to his family when he did homework.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Bryce Harper does it. A lot of guys do. Well,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: now guys are doing a thousand different things, but that
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: was my one little thing, especially.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: In New York. Rossi. Good picture. Good picture of you
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: and Glaber.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Rossi, how much fun has this been, man? Like, for
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: us personally, we want to thank everyone for listening, but
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: we got to do our 10-year World Series reunion, the
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: Love War reunion, and interview all the guys. And now
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: getting to talk baseball first weekly, then biweekly, and now
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: always on, it's just been more fun every single night.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Getting to talk the game, getting to dive deep into guys'
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: lives maybe like I have to admit, I wasn't as
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: familiar with and getting to see these stars become stars.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: It's been so much fun, Rossi. And couldn't think of
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: a better partner to do it. We are in the
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: works right now of lining up some post season, post season.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: So off season, I'm sorry, off season interviews. So, You
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: guys email us. Let us know in the comments who
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: you think we should interview. We're definitely going to stick
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: with some baseball, current baseball players, former guys. Venture out
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: into the music world, hopefully other sports. Get some cross
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: sports coming in. So it would be really cool to
• 45:38
