  Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, for sure? Yeah, definitely. I mean getting ready
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: to roll, ready to go to spring training. Already been
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: out to the complex in Arizona. I think, you know,
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: the last time I talked to you, all hadn't been
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: there yet. I think the trade was pretty fresh. So uh, yeah,
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: I've been talking to a lot of the staff and
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: now it feels like home and and ready to ready
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: to get the season started.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: How was the trip to the facility in Arizona? Who
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: did you meet with? What did they tell you?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so some of the strength staff was there, a
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: couple of other players, But yeah, I got to go
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: out there work out for a few days. Obviously, the
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: facility is super nice, brand new. I think they had
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: just finished it within in the last year, I want
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: to say, so definitely an upgrade for me. But yeah,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: super excited. You know obviously, you know, lifting around stuff
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: in the weight room. Uh, you know, ran around a
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: little bit, didn't do too much out on the fields.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: But uh, but yeah, I got to throw and they
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: have a super nice indoor lab, super cool, so I
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: excited to get to use all that stuff.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Did you talk to anybody about it what it used
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: to look like? And people been like, hey, it's a
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: good thing. Like do they keep the tent up that
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: they used to have their weight room in just for
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: like just for like, you know, remembering sake.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's definitely a few people that said that,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: you know, it used to not be that nice. So
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: definitely pretty fortunate that I picked the right time to
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: join an organization. You know, they were telling me some
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: old stories about it and whatnot. But but yeah, thankfully
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: I don't have to deal with it or you know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I don't even have it pictured in my head. But yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: so when I show up here in the next couple
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: of weeks, there's gonna be a nice facility waiting on me.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Let me ask you this. So you've you've been in
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: the facility.
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: You have you talked or seeing Kurtzuzuki and Mike Maddox
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: a little bit?
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Have you guys had conversations?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously talk to them a couple of times each.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: You know, awesome guys. Hear a lot about mad Dog,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I guess is what some of the guys call him.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: But uh, yeah, I heard some really good things about Kurt.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: You know. I had some guys that some veterans in
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Baltimore that had played with Kurt, you know, really loved
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: him as a catcher. So you know, they're excited to
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: see what he can do as a manager, and you know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of in the same boat. You know, I'm
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: excited to see what he has to offer for us.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, mad Dogs, Mad Dog's gonna hold his mustache. He's
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: gonna hold his mustache on, and he's gonna put his
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: hand everybody said it, put his hand on so he
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: feels the pulse. But I told every picture that I
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: ever played with that had him, just don't think about it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: He's not covering his mouth. He's holding his mustache on
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: because it's fake. So every time he does this and
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: he's talking to you, I want you to think about that.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, fake stash, got it?
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like the ones where he glue it
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: behind there, like it would be super weird if it
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: like flops off and he's like talking to He was like, Grace,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: what I really need you to. Nope, he's just holding
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: it up there. He's holding it up there so so
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: you can't see it. What are some of the things
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: that he said besides, Man, I've watched you from Afar
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: and I really like how you got a million dollar
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: arm and you know all that kind of stuff.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Not that you yes, sir, Yeah, I mean mad He's
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: you know, one of the first things we talked about
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: was he got to watch me make my debut in
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: twenty three, so I got called up. We were in
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Texas playing the Rangers. You know, obviously he was a
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: pitching coach there, so he got to watch that. But man,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: just kind of getting back to the basics, you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I mean kind of you know, I hear mad Dog's
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: kind of got a little bit of an old school mindset,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: and for me, I think that could work really well,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: just kind of getting back to the basics and you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: attacking hitters, you know, not necessarily wondering about how many
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: pitches we're gonna throw, how many times we're gonna throw them,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: just going out and you know, seeing how many outs
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: we can get, you know, every five or six days.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: I think is gonna be the goal. And uh, man,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: it's it's got me excited for sure.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Do you look good in red?
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I think so. I mean my mom says so. But
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: you know, I mean, you know, your mom's gotta you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: your mom's got to hype you up. So uh yeah,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I've definitely definitely heard from all my family members, my wife,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: everybody that they definitely love red more than they love orange.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I think everybody's kind of excited to get to ditch
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: the black and orange and finally get some red in there.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: For sure, you are an avid hunter, as you can
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: see in your back wall. Have you uh asked, uh
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: maybe anybody on the Angels? Have you hunted anybody or
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: you know, hung out with any of the guys, and
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: if so, like tell us about them, like talk to
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: me about you know, if there's anybody you talked to
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: or hung out with.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean obviously you know I hadn't got to,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: you know, talk to everybody yet talk to out for
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: a couple of years now about some some hunt and stuff.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: And you know, I know he attempts to hunt. If
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: he sees this, you know, I might get a text
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: message here pretty soon. But uh yeah, thinks he's the
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: best hunter. He thinks he's the best white tail hunter
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: in the big leagues. That's not the case. So you're
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: seeing it. You're seeing it right now, you know, you're
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: seeing it behind me. You know, not all these are mine.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I won't take credit for all of them, you know
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: about half of them, or my wife. But but yeah,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: we like to hunt. Yeah, love to hunt, love to
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: eat them. The venison is the best part about it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: You know, you can go to the grocer shore or pick
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: up some beef. You're not really sure what's in that beef,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: but uh, I know what I'm getting out of that
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: behind me, so for sure.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Hey, do you think you can create a relationship with
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Trouty like you have with Ryan Mountcastle where you guys
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: can just talk shit during spring training and all of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that and have a good time, right, Like that would
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: be kind of fun. You got to bring something like
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that over to the Angels. They might have something already
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: with some dynamics, but I know that was a fun
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: part of what you guys had going with the Oils,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and frankly, I think they're going to miss that.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I don't know if trout you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Trole's taking me deep. I think he took me deep
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: in twenty four, but he didn't give me the bird,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: And like Mountie, did you know they're spring training? So yeah,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: that was a little bit different about it. But yeah,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: definitely gonna miss those relationships. But I have a feeling
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I have a hunch that we're gonna make some more.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: So I already been talking to some of these guys,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: and you know, they love to talk a lot of
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: trash and that's right up my alley. So I think
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I think I'll be just fine.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I like it.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, while we're on that topic, what do you think
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of the situation for your boy, Ryan Mountcastle heading into
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, they have the DH spot and stuff like that.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: But have you followed what the Orioles have been up
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to since you were traded away? I mean they signed
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Lumberjack polar bear named Pete Alonzo, so they've certainly done
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a lot activity wise.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: But how do you think the puzzle pieces will fit?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I guess I'll put it this way too.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: You know, at times on our show we were critical
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: in the past where we felt like they were holding
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: on to prospects for trades, then weren't making them, and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: then it was actually causing this logjam with the position players,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: so it's hard for you to establish yourself if you're
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: not getting time. You could put Kobe Mayo in that
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: conversation too. It appears like some of that will start
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: to open up. But I mean, I'm sure you'd agree
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: it can hurt your development. If you're up, you're down,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: you're barely getting playing time after you were a star
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: in the minor leagues.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely you could kind of see it like with
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: the position players. You know, like guys I don't like Kobe,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: like you're saying, you know, guys that probably are good
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: enough to be playing in the big leagues, and then
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: you know there's a lot kind of going on that,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: you know, just out of their control. But you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Mawnie's an awesome guy. You know, whether he's playing in Baltimore,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: if he's playing somewhere else. I mean, whoever's going to
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: have him is going to be lucky to have him.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I Mean, you know, he's great in the he's great
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: in the clubhouse. You know, you kind of know what
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: you're gonna get on the field. You know, he's awesome.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: You know, as far as paying attention to what the
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Orioles have done, you know. I mean I still talk to,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: you know, some of those guys that I was close with,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: so you know, you kind of still hear bits and
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: pieces of it. But I mean, man, you know, it's
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: kind of in the past for me, you know. I
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: mean obviously you said they've signed some guys. I mean, yeah,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I mean I see that. You know, if you get
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: you know, turn TV on or you know whatever, it's
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: kind of hard to you know, not know what's going
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: on in the league. But yeah, I mean for me,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: you know, it's just focusing on you know, the Angels
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: and you know, spring training and making sure my body's
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: healthy and everything ready and getting ready to get rolling.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: But yeah, Free Agency. You know, you kind of still
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: watch it, you know, you see it on your phone
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: or you getting alert or whatever. I mean, you just
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: kind of know what's going on. But but yeah, I
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: hadn't really been paying too much attention to it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: You throw away all your oriol stuff. You talk about
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: turning the page. I still have I don't have anything
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: on right now, but I usually have. I usually have
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: something from the fourteen different organizations I played for. So
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: but at the end of the year, you throw it away.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Now that you got traded and we've had some time
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: since the last time we talked. Have you given it
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: to gift and thrift or some type of thrift store.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, we've definitely given a lot of it away.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I wish i'd say we've given it all away, but
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: I mean it's been hard because every time we get
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: rid of a box, we find another box, and then
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: there's just more boxes, and it's like you know, over
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the years, you know, the boxes just stack up, and
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: then you just find a closet to just shove it
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: into and then you know, you start you they start
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: popping up all over the place. So yeah, we've definitely
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: gotten rid of a lot of it, and we still
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: got some more to go.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Is this something you found that was like, ah, man,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Like I like, I want to keep that, Like obviously
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Jersey you that kind of thing. Was there something you
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: found during that time that you were like, ah man, Yeah,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: I think I might keep that, like a Homer hose or.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Something no Homer host But but I mean I don't know.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, some some boxes, you know, you
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: open up and it's like stuff from the minor leagues,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: like a long time ago, and like when I say,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: long time ago, like twenty nineteen, you know, twenty twenty whatever.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Some of that stuff's kind of cool, and be like, ah, man,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I can't get rid of that. It's like, that's my
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: first pair of professional socks, you know, can't throw those away?
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: But uh, but no, I mean, I don't know, there's
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: nothing really from the big leagues that you know, I
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: haven't been able to get rid of. I mean, what's
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: nice about being in the big leagues? You know, you
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: show up in your lockers full different you know, in
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: minor league camp where you show up and there's one
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: T shirt, a pair of shorts and that's about it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: But it's definitely a lot easier to get rid of
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: that stuff in the big leagues. So to the you know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: to the to the trash. Some stuff it's just nasty
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: that nobody's gonna wear that goes in the garbage. But
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: if not, it's going down the street to Goodwill.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: This is the only area that I can ever give
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: a player like you advice changing teams, will you or
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: will you not? And I'll baste my reaction on it
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: based on what you say. Come into Angels camp in
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: February with an Oriole's bag with all your stuff across
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: your shoulder to go into Angels camp and then have
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: them trade your bag out.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: You know, I mean, I really don't know what to
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: do about that because I think, you know, I see,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I was still I was I was in the last
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: phase of my rehab when I got traded, so like
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I was already throwing you know, pretty much full go.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: So I still had a locker there in Sarasota, and
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: I had asked them to ship the things I had
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: in that locker to Arizona. So I don't know if
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: that's been done or not. You know, I had to
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: check on it the other day. But so hopefully you know,
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: the Orioles aren't keeping my stuff. But uh, you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, maybe, you know, maybe I
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: could show up with like some Walmart bags, maybe like
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: a Camo Duffel bag, you know, like maybe we can
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: you know, throw a wrinkling it a little bit. But
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: uh yeah, I mean, I don't even know if I
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: have an Orioles bag here. To be honest with you, so.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Choice my suggestion to you is show up in a
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Camo bag, show up in a your high school bag.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Something you probably made like nine high school all star teams,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: So maybe like one of those, like you're or maybe
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: an agent backpack or just go old school and carry
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: you're all very please and your glove in and be
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: like you guys, got a bag or something and I
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: could put.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: This in a cart. Maybe get a cart rolled out
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: to the cart huh yeah something, Yeah, just pull up
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: with a shopping cart.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: Maybe I'll do that.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: I like that. I like that last one from me
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: on the Angels specifically, when you look at this team
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: and now you've had time to digest that you're on
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: this team, do you sit there and say, man, I
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: watched Alec manoah pitch. I watched this guy pitch before. Guys,
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: you know, they're kind of like buying low hopefully they
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: you know, they hit the lottery ticket type of pitchers.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: And do you.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Say, man, we're gonna be pretty good because you only
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: see the positive, the positive like gleamings of like, oh wow,
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: this guy is awesome, this guy was an All Star.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: Or are you realistic when you're evaluating your future teammates
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: that you actually haven't even actually been on the field
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: with yet.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: No, I mean obviously you know, like I've looked at
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: the roster, and I mean, to be honest with you,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: it kind of it kind of reminds me of like
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: how we were in Baltimore in twenty twenty three. You know,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: lots of like I'm not gonna say super young guys,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: but lots of younger guys, you know, and then you
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: have like darnol veteran catcher, you know, and then you
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: got a hoppy it's kind of like a Richman mccayn
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: kind of mixed to me, like that was the first
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: thing that popped out, you know, I mean being a pitcher,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: you know, you're you're looking at your catchers and you're like, Okay,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: you know, these are the guys that I'm gonna work
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: with the most. And so that's kind of what I
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: thought about. You know, first I was like all right,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: and then you know, you kind of look at you know,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: everything else, and I don't know, baseball is just a
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: weird sport where like, you know, it's just hard to
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: predict like what's gonna happen. You know, obviously, teams that
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: spend a lot of money, you think, yeah, they're gonna
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: have success, or you know, they've got a lot of
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: big names in the lineup. Sometimes the lineups, like is
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: from a pitcher's perspective, sometimes the hardest lineups to pitch, too,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: are not necessarily the most expensive ones, if that makes sense. Like,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: if there's a lot of gritty grinders in that lineup,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: maybe I'm not gonna say no name guys everybody. You know,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: you pretty much know everybody in the big leagues. But like,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: there's some lineups that'll get you, you know, if you're
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: not careful and if you're not paying attention, and like,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know, that's something that I've kind of seen
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: is you know, you know you're playing a team like
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers or the Yankees, and you're like, Okay, they
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: spend a lot of money. Sometimes those aren't always you know,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: the hardest games to pitch. You know, it could be
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: somebody else, uh, you know, a younger team that's really
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: gonna punch you in the mouth if you're not careful
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: with them. So that's kind of what I'm looking at it.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: As you know, coming into this season with LA all.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Right, always want to embarrass a player, a new player
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: to a new team. So I have one piece of
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: trivia for you. Okay, you have a teammate Kirby Yates.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: Do you know what.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: His purchase did?
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: What he did? What he did after they won the
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: World Series at Mookie Betts's World Series party?
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: What he did?
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: What he did? What he he said? If we win
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: the World Series, I will do this.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Mmm. Got man by a tractor.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: He got a tattoo on his butt cheek? And will
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: you last longer than a day meeting him without saying
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: I want to see that?
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: That sit?
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I mean no, I guess I know he's got a
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: tattoo on his butt cheek thanks to you. So uh yeah,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: I mean that. I'll have to ask him about it.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't know if I want to look
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: at it. Maybe I'll have to ask him about it.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: You're gonna look at it. You're gonna be in the shower,
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: and they're gonna call you. They're gonna call you. Eyes up, Grayson,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: like honestly, like, keep the keep the eyes up. But
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I will tell you what the tattoo is. I'm sure
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: you could google it and you would find it real quick.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, tell him, I'll tell him. It's it's more fun
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: to tell him. So he's got the icebreaker right from
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the jump. So it's okay. So his name's Kirby.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: There's a famous character, video game character, and cartoon character, Kirby, right,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: you know, the puffy yellow Kirby.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: Dude.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Yeahs that like Pokemon or something.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Kirby's a Pokemon or if it
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: looks it's similar, though it looks pokemon ish, yes, and
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: it's it's honestly a little before your time. It's like
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: when I was growing up, and I'm probably about ten
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: years older than you. So it's Kirby with World Series trophy.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: So he was like, I'm getting.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: A tattoo on my ass if we win a world
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: series and he got it.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: So anyway, you have a teammate like that, who apparently
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: is a very fun teammate to have, so just look
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: forward to that. That's like a sneaky one where you
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: guys probably haven't crossed paths yet, but I guarantee you
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: when we talked during the season for these spots, you're
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: gonna be like, dude, that Kirby yates. He gets me
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: fired up. He's freaking hilarious.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, maybe I'll look forward to meet Kirby, but
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I'm not you know, maybe not me looking forward to
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: looking at his butt cheek. Let's put it that way, so.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: You see or you don't see it, Like, let's just
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: be honest, all right, Grayson, I get it's not your
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: first butt cheek.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: You're saying he's gonna make everyone see it. I'm sure
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: he will.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: He will put on a show at some point and say, hey, everyone,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: this is what we're chasing. We're chasing not just titles,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: but we're chasing tattoos on our asses. So anyway, just
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: a little icebreaker when you meet Kirby coming up.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there we go.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
