  Speaker 4: then you're like, give it up for Jared.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I was like, I just fucked up good. But yeah, dude,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So we ended up just booking a last minute flight
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to Canada. We're gonna go up there hang out. I'm
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: fired up, dude, I'm fired up to go out there
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the cold. Not fired up about that? What were you
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: pitching other destinations? Oh? Yeah?
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: And then when it landed on When it landed on Canada, yeah,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: I'll bend the knee.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Here's how it started. I was like, man, I really
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I was like, we should have just gone up to Canada.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And then Town was like, yeah, but the way your
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: schedule worked and how you were talking, I'm like, I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: gotta sat back. She explained all the things I did wrong,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and I go, so, you're telling me there's nothing you
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: could have done differently in the situation. And then she
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: started explaining. I was like, you're right, absolutely, it's one
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: hundred percent on me, which it usually is. So then
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Canada's kind of off the table, but we've spoke about
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: it for some reason. Cabo San Lucas is like not
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: okay with kids, which I disagree with one hundred percent.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Then I'm thinking about thirty eight. But the weather's not
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that great in thirty eight that I'm like, hey, Saint Bart's,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: we can just go there. That'd be sick to hit
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the islands a little bit, get a little tropical on them.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: That flight looked was like the same amount of time
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it would take to get to Canada. Then I'm like, yo, Italy,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you've been wanting to go to Italy. I will just
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: get on a plane and go to Italy Italy February. Yeah.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: So I started putting this into other four people this.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I look at the price, I'm like, that's not bad.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: It's not bad for all four people. So I started
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: like dialing it in. It's like, yo, first classes like this,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: like we're gonna be money going to Italy. Turns out
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that one price wasn't for four, it was per and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: then the price was over fifty thousand dollars. When I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: get to check out, I'm like, hey, Italy's off the table.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: We are one hundred percent not going to Italy Iceland.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: But those those direct flights on So how long were.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: You thinking about going to Italy too, like Italy as well, Like.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, when we were having this conversation, So my daughter,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: she's in piano class at a certain time and there's
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: like a thirty minute break that she has an hour
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: long songwriting class. So during the hour long song writing
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: class on Monday, I'm just in the car of vegging
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: out and I'm just like on the phone with Tailor
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and a Willow and we're just talking about what should
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: we do. So this is the conversation took about an hour.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: But I'm saying, I'm saying the duration of the of
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: the trip. When are you getting back from Canada?
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I'm getting back Friday the twentieth, And is that what
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: it was like? That was Thursday back to the next Friday,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: back to the next Friday. Get in, get off, get out.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: If you're especially going to Italy. But I feel like
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: eight days is solid, right, Yeah, eight days is solid
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: about if you went over to Italy. Yeah, yeah, it
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: all depends too, like how much you're trying to hit
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: her what I forgot? You're like my idiot Italy. You're
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: my idiot, You're double idiot, You're my Italy. Like if
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: you're there, Yeah, if you're there. I forget how long
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: we went. Was it two weeks? Was it ten days?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I was something like that. I think it was just
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: under two weeks. I don't want to say.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: We hit like three different places. So you're going for
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: eight days and you chose two spots that you wanted
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: to hit, Like, yeah, that'd be more than enough.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Because Taylor, she's been in Italy a handful of times.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Her best friend is like, her husband are off the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: boat Italy, so Taylor has like whatever connects in Italy
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to get to all these places. So we could just
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: go and rip. But yeah, once I saw the price
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: tag for a flying there, I'm like, this is not
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: gonna happen. Yeah, not gonna happen. But we looked all
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: over the place and it ended up on let's just
• 8:37

• 16:31
  Speaker 5: piece of Hawaii kind of breaking free of all of
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: the tribes and trying to come under one king. It's
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: like Game of Throne set and Hawaii.

• 16:56
  Speaker 4: stuff gets in front of me or gets in the
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: way and I see I see a photo.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Right, and you get excited. Yeah, since that's newer.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: If I go on Apple Plus and see that, I'll
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: bet Oh yeah, I gotta watch the show.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. S was saying, we got to watch the show.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Have we have you guys seen Sopranos.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: I've watched two seasons of Sopranos. Okay, I have now
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: that last Cicico Sopranos Sicco last night.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Tell your dad this, Tell Billy this. Who's actually watching
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: right now? I watched the finale of Sopranos last night,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the last episode, and Buddy, it makes I think it
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: makes the whole show worth it. People hate it, but
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: apparently people hated it. You were telling me in San
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Francisco that people hated the I want to say.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: My dad was felt a little.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I gotta get I get it on the phone with
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Bill if I can.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Remember right when him and my mom were watching the
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: finale when it was airing. I remember coming out. I
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: think I was probably playing like, you know, WWE or
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: something like that.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, take a little body break, right.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: And it seemed like they were kind of not in
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: love with the finale.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And I know Bill and I think similarly, except for
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: now that I have the power of like true Internet
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: when this show came out. The show ends last night,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and Taylor looks at me, he goes, do you get it?
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: And I go, fuck, no, I don't get it? Like
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: what what? Like that was terrible? Why would it end
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: like that? Does that something to do with the gas station? Yeah?
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: No, is there like pulling up to a gas station
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: or anything?
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: And then in the last episode there's a lot of
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: pulling up to gas stations. But the last episode, the
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: last remember that the last scene happens at a diner.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: It happens at a diner with his entire family. And
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're probably never gonna watch the show, are you. Yeah,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I'll probably watch it. You probably will watch You probably
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: will watch Sapranos.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: And it's definitely on a wave of it's slower.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: It's a very slow movie now, and like but the ending,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the end scene, like the last four minutes, you can
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: feel the intensity because you know it's the last episode,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you know what's happening. And then when the show just
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: abruptly ends, you're like, why the fuck would you finish
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: a show that people argue it's the greatest show of
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: all time like this. And then I like, literally for
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the next twenty minutes, like on YouTube, listen to the
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: director and the reason why he did it. And once
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: he was putting the pieces together for me, I was like, Oh,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: that's an incredible ending of the show. That is amazing.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: What a way to end a show. Because I have
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: my artistic brain couldn't fathom that is the final scene
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: right there. And Buddy, it kind of rattled me where
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I had a harder time going to sleep that night,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: But you know how to bested. I get into things. Yeah, characters.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Arthur Morgan was explaining Game of Thrown season eight. Oh yeah,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you hated it. Yeah, I think everybody does. Really universe.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: There might be somebody in the comments that says, oh, no,
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: good and they might explain why, but they're wrong.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Majority of people hated season eight.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I I've always been a guy that has started
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, but then I get three episodes in
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I'm like this is too much right now. A lot
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: of different webs going on, Web's going on, and I
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: learned more that like that web webs falter and break
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: all the time, and then there's new webs that are
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: coming in, and then everybody dies, and then nobody died,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and then one person's alive, and then he dies, they die,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: she dies, whatever it is, it's pretty insane. It sounds
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: pretty insane. But then I hear about season eight and
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't even think I need to. And
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: everybody hated the finale, then why would I watch that?
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: The only people I feel like might have enjoyed Season
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: eight is if they watch it all the way through
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: in succession, like you know, you know, you wait till
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: all the seasons.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Come out and then watch it all the way through.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, which is because of the pain point where the
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: I would say the majority hated it is the majority
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: lived in that like two year pocket of Season eight
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: being created with season because season six, Season seven, those finales,
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: those seasons were awesome. There's so many theories and so
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: many things to break down like that was one of
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: the rare few times where I'm seeking out Reddit threads
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: and other things breaking it down and talking about it,
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: and all the callbacks and the pictures and people would
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: circle circle, Oh, look at this from a from an
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: aerial view, this is a sign that was in like
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: this march that was happening just every you you went
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: down every rabbit hole. Imagine on what we're about to
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: see in season eight and then for go the way
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: it did.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: No real fight with the Night.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: King between John Snow and the Night King, they sit
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: there and stare at each other and you're like, this
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: is the battle, and then the fucking Night King raises.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: There's a billion fucking white Walkers and somehow, you know,
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: everybody in the castle is surviving.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: And kind of defeating them. And then the Night King
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: dying just.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: From what's her name, Aria, just from Aria coming out
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: of know where.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: It's stabbing them. So we're just doing we're giving all
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: of it away.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Well, Game of Thrones, Like that's like you haven't watched
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: it by now, Like that's not.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Were you wanting to watch it. It's always on my
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: brain too, Hey, if I should watch a show, should
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I put Game of Thrones on? That being said, spoilers
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: don't ruin my dad.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And even when you get there, like It's like
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: you won't remember all of this happening, but when it does,
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: you be oh, yeah, now I see why.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Then this Now that you've explained to me the finale
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: of Thrones, can I explain to you the finale Sopranos?
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: You get is there? And I want to ask this too.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I always kind of sitting there and I was like,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: do you.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: Is there's a part of me in there a movie
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: that got made that kind of showed the back part
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: of that last episode of Sopranos, Because I want to say,
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: I feel like I've seen this that you're talking about
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: where they're in the where they're in the restaurant. Yeah,
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: for some reason, I feel like I've seen it, and
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: if not, like I'm sure i've seen.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: It on the internet. Is there? Because I was talking
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: to Dave Lwan and he was saying, a wise guy,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: David chasing the Sopranos.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: That's a finale that covers like the making of Sopranos
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: will but I'm not sure.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: There's something where I feel like I've seen this scene
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: that Taylor's talking about, And then when you brought the picture,
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: I remember I've seen this scene somewhere and there's so
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: many clips. Everybody uses so many clips and sopranos. You
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: feel like you've kind of seen a lot of the show.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: You just don't know what order it's all in.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because the show is like it's twenty one episodes
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: of season and every episode is like an hour long,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Like you're really you got to put in time to
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: watch the show. And you get to the finale and Taylor,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: she says she's already seen the finale, like she already
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: knew what the found I was. So I'm kind of
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: going into a blind while she knows. So I'm gonna
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: tell you now if that's okay, go ahead, all right.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: So in the show, basically before they go into the diner,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: this this ending scene like his son's having issues, but
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: his son kind of like writes his issues and he
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: seems like he's in a good track. His daughter, he
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: didn't agree with what she was doing, but then they
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: have a dinner and he's like proud of where she's going. Carmela,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: his wife, they seem like they're in a really good spot.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: So you feel as things are going into this last
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: scene that like, oh, this is now a change that's happening,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: a new season of life. Is taking place for the
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Soprano family. Instead of having dinner, which Carmela always cooks,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: they are going out for dinner because she just want
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: to cook that night. They sit there and there's this
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: whole thing about he's there by himself alone first, and
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: he's sitting at this diner and he looks up every
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: time the door opens. There's like a little bell, like
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: old nineties bell, and he would look up and different
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: characters would walk in. Not you would know, but like races, ethnicities,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: people just walking in. And his wife walks in, he
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: sees her. They have they exchange menus or whatever. And
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: there's a guy sitting at the bar, and then his
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: son comes in. He's like, hey, where's meadow? At Meadow
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: is his daughter, and it kind of cuts the meadows.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: She's trying to parallel park right outside the street, and
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: she's like not getting it right. And every once in
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: a while will cut back and forth or having like
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: a little you know, back and forth conversation, whether it's
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: like regarding the onion rings or regard like aj and
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: what he's gonna do. And the guy at the bar
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: gets up and walks to the bathroom. My brain goes
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: to that's a Godfather type of situation, which is like, hey,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: leave the gun, take the Canoli type of situation. Right,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: he goes away, and like you see Soprano kind of
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: look and maybe your brain's like does he recognize this guy?
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Does he not? But the visual of this man, You're like,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I could see this guy being in the mafia based
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: on everything I've watched these six seasons. And then Meadow
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: finally like parks the car and he hears the bell,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: he hears the door open and the bell ring, and
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: he looks up shows over cuts the black and you're
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: just sitting there like as I'm like that, I'm like,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: my mouth's open, and it's like counting down Big Bang
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Theory or The Big Bang Theory show Season one, episode one.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's done.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: That's just it. That's the end. And then kind of
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: raises out of bed. She goes, do you get it?
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I don't fucking get it. Like what happens?
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: And then we start talking about I go down the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: YouTube and throughout the show, Soprano's asked Tony Soprano, He's asked,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: like what is it like when you die? What do
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: you think it's like when you're when you finally get taken.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: He's like, I think everything just goes black. Like I
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't really believe in nothing. I just,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: you know, I think everything goes black. So the idea
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: was he got killed, he got assassinated, and it's up
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: to the viewer to think about what happens after, because
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: you see people in the show get killed in front
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: of their wives, in front of their children. You see
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: their reaction and you're just left wondering to yourself, like
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: how did Carmela, Meadow and aj react to all this?
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Because before this all goes down, this guy named Phil
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: who's like the mafia guy in New York. He's trying
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: to kill Soprano and kills like his two number one guys,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: or puts one guy in the hospital, kills another one,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: and so they're kind of on the run. They have
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: a secret meeting between families and they shake hands and
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: that the guy who's the right hand man of Phil,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: who's the New York mob boss. He's like, I can't
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: tell you where he is, but you do what you
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: gotta do, Like we need to make sure this is
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: all over. They end up killing Phil at a gas station,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, Soprano's gonna win this thing, Like
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: he's gonna become like the next Dawn. You know, it's
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: the last episodes. You're not gonna know how it happens,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: but you think, Okay, he's in a great spot and
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: then cuts the black and it leaves you just wondering, like, oh,
• 26:21

• 26:51
  Speaker 1: of it is he yes, he was assassinated, he was killed,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: but like if that finale left you feeling like confuse, angry,

  Speaker 1: the viewer, to decide what happened next. It's like fuck Art, Yeah,

  Speaker 1: Art's crazy.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Or he just silver tongued it to where you're like, oh, yeah,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I guess I felt all those emotions.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: He just said that. I had no doubt. But you
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: know how I work. If you could silver tongue me

• 27:42
  Speaker 1: what's happening right now. Because you're right, so any joy
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: you could be like, if you felt these things, I
• 27:48

  Speaker 5: A football coach has to do that after a really
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: bad loss, extremely bad loss. Can you explain that loss? Hey,
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: if the fans just like they feel like they don't
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: want to be a fan anymore, they don't want to
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: show up anymore. They're confused, they're crying their sound.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: They go, didn't make the right calls.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I did my job.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: They felt like we were predictable. We're doing our job.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: We're doing our job. Shit. But yeah, it was extended. Hey,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: he's playing chess on us. Yeah. Yeah, that's so funny.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: It brings up the Yeah, if I would have just
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: said X, Y, and Z, I'm like, yeah, I bought it,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: and I'm buying what will say? I'm now I'm back
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: the fuck that's a part of us finale.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: I do because I'm with you, Like I haven't seen it,
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: by the way, so I'm just literally assuming. But I
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: would like if he does get if he does get off,
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: I would want that to happen, and then I would
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: want to see the reactions.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Right, the family losing their mind where they put a
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: bow on it. Right, there's no bow, not just like mystery.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: All right, we ran out of budget. So did you
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: like it? Did you like the movie Inception? I kind
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: of can't remember Inception. The movie is when you go
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: in a dream within a dream dream, but the last
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: scene so he's always finally looking at his kids the
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: whole entire time, and the last scene of the movie,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: he spins his drader or whatever the hell it is,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: this little thing that tells him whether he's in a
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: dream or not, because if it wobbles, he's not in
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: a dream. If it stays up and doesn't move, he
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: is in a dream. But he spins it, and he
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: hears one of his kids go Daddy, and he looks
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: up and he walks away, and you just see the
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: thing the end scene, it goes slowly down to the
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: drader or whatever it is, and uh, it kind of
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: like does this, But then the movie cuts off and
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: it's over, so it leaves you the viewer wondering, like,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: is he in a dream? Is it real? Was his
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: psychotic wife? Was she right and she was in a
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: dream she had to kill herself in order to get
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: out of the dream. Or was he correct and he
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: finally got home, got to America all the things and
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: saw what that you're in? Right? Are you in the
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: reality dream or you in this dream drip?
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: I would say that is the difference there is the
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: movie being inception and the whole concept of it being that.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: That's where it's like it could be left up for interpretation,
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: whereas the Sopranos, it's such a.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, dude, Will took Alpha brain
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: to day because the way the way he's taking these
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: questions and be like, yeah, well we don't know, like
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: he's just answering, and I'm like, fuck, he's right, man.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: The concept of the movie is to make you question thinks. Sopranos,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the concept is not the question that just to have
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: like the it's right, it's a game. Yeah, I gotta
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: watch shows with this man. Dude, he's fucking he took
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: would you take Alpha Black or whatever the fuck it's called.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: Those pills j'all got in the shipment of this bullet
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: bulletproof type of creatine.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Oh you creatine.
• 30:44

• 30:48
  Speaker 4: a little scoop in the hot you know, I heat
• 30:49

• 34:51
  Speaker 1: they happened after podcasts. Yeah, right, yep, he's that Kevin's

• 35:22
  Speaker 4: down everything he does, whether it be in training, diet,
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: chase it, chasing every edge that he talked about whether
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: it's grounding, hot, cold, therapy, all the things, timing of
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: the day, everything. You know that that group of boys
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: is on to the to the power station, clean, tag clean,
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: and then that's not speaking for him. I'm just saying,
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: like if we were in that forty nine locker room
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: in those parts that we're talking about with bulletproof and
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: every bulletproof coffee and all the edges that we chase,
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: the minute that starts to gain traction and make noise,
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: us guys like in our groups, we're excited about that
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: because that's something that we would sit there and be
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: talking about without question.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Once it gains traction publicly, we're like, thank god, it's
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: finally being talked about because we have felt X, Y,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: and Z because of the one percent chase. Yeah, and
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: that's how you and I would be not saying Christians
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: like that, just you and I.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: Right right, Well, we're speaking for ourselves, speaking for ourselves
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: because we dive into it a lot too with Bryce
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: All Yeah, and like with pep tides and everything else,
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: we dive into that conversation the one percent. Why wouldn't
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: owners want to pay or make this stuff? I legalize
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: And it's like well, on the counter side of it,
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: if your best athletes are going in the second contract,
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: third contract, where the money is exponentially higher, they wouldn't
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: want you to reach those deals. They want you to Yeah,
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: they want to win the championship, but they also don't
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: want to pay you money.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: They want to find bigger, younger, faster.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they wouldn't want all the money going into we're
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: talking about the Niners, so just using that example, but
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: into like CMC George.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: They want them to have.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: As long a career as possible, but they don't want
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: them to have every edge in the world that makes
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: them play for twenty years because that amount of money.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: When they're re upping and getting new deals, they want
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: to find the next generation of George's and Christians because
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: there's yeah, they're cheaper, right, you got them on their
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: rookie deal.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: You you are once again handling business the correct way.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: But Bryce, Yeah, the Peptide Game, the BPC one seven,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: the TV five hundred, all those things like, yeah, gotta
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: get those into sports, Gotta get those in.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: I think TV five hundred has been something that's been
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: uh I don't know enough about it. I just know
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: the lore of TV five hundred was almost like the
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: peptide for like racehorses, and so that's that's always been
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: on the list. But the new wave of peptides, I
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: don't think anad's on the list.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I think you can do anything. You're right. I'm speaking
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: in the fact of like, uh, just bio hacking and yeah,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: optimizing your entire body needs to be something like a
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: promoted situation for athletes as opposed to being like, oh,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: you're you're seeing a peptide, and peptide has this blank
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: like that's you shouldn't do peptides.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and peptide being like almost coexisting with ped
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: and steroids and everything else. It's like all this stuff

• 43:44
  Speaker 4: He's kind of like he was kind of like a
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: I hate saying it because it feels kind of like
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: I don't even know, but he felt like it was
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: a child superstar based on his upbringing and life just
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: in the major leagues, being coined as already the next
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: like Babe Ruth, Aaron Hanks, just all the big dogs.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be the greatest baseball player to ever live
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: as a teenager to when he gets he leaves high
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: school in the middle of high school, just imagine that
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: and you have cameras in your face right away at
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: that age with the expectation because he talks about, you know,
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: he talked about thoughts of you know, wanting to stop
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: after his fall season the first time he.
• 44:18

  Speaker 4: nuts to think about. Yeah, he's like he was like
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: a prodigy type baseball player coming up.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: And the thing that when people are in the limelight
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: at such a young age, it's very easy to think, Okay,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: this person is like away from reality a little bit. Yeah,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: this dude sat down. He was a bro immediately, Like
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: he even without having two years of the social experience
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: of high school. He was extremely engaging. He was great

• 45:09
  Speaker 4: life stuff, like I wonder at what age it started
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: for him because we didn't ask that question, but just
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: assuming like his social his social stuff was just blown
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: up from the get go. Absolutely, whenever he's taking the

  Speaker 4: I remember when I was on Peace squad and we
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: were knocked out of it, and I'm like, rooting for Dallas.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: There's a couple of times I'm rooting for Dallas against US.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: Crazy to say, but this.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Is before when you were playing, not when I was
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: playing playing, but when I was when I was on
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Peace squad. And then the next.
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: Year I only played like three games. I spot started
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: like three games due to injury, and we weren't in
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. That was the year des Bryant Did he
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: catch it?
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: But I'm like hoping, did you catch it? He caught it?
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: Last game of the year is against US, and I'm like, Okay,
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: I'm glad they beat it because they need momentum going
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: into the playoffs.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Is what I'm like.
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: My the little kid fan of me is thinking like
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: as we lost that game.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: So the first time he saw the Dallas Star on
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: It was incredible. First time playing playing in Dallas and
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: seeing the star and seeing everything, Jerry's world, all of it.
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: I'm like, this is all times. This is a big time.
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: I've never seen it. My dad grew up big Dallas guy.
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: Obviously we're huge Eagles now, just because I'm in Philly
• 50:53
  Speaker 6: and I know the guys in I root for him
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: and stuff. But my daddy grew up I'm all those guys. Yeah.
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: The commentary on Netflix was sick.

  Speaker 1: That's what he was. Haven't seen really good?
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this whole story like kind of you understand the
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: madness of it all.
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: When we were at a we were at sam Coom
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: and I got to meet him at Smith and I'm like,
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: maybe I wasn't fumbling over my words, but I'm thinking
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: that I am because I'm nervous to meet him and
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: just trying to tell him how much he meant to me.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I know you've heard it all the time.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: This probably means nothing to you.
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: But I pretended to be you out in the backyard
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: with my dad and was telling him all this stuff.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Was super nervous. But meeting him at Smith bro unreal. Yeah,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: he's great, dude, tool yourself well. In that situation, I
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: was right there watching, Hey, if you ever come to Nashville,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: I'd love to have you. Hey, he started talking about Nashville.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: He started to get a little too excited, about now. Yeah, Okay,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: he was really he was like having flashbacks like PTSD
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: war veteran flashbacks. I'm thinking like, oh god, this yeah, dude.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Obviously the NFL, the Eagles, the fan base is insane.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Is that bleeding over the Phillies as well? Like do
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: you have the craziest fan base of all time there? Yeah?
• 51:56
  Speaker 6: I mean it's uh, it's such a great city to
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: play in. Obviously, it's a really hard to play in
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: for a lot of people. And if you're not ready
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: to play there, then don't come because yeah, because I
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: mean it can it can you know, chew you up
• 52:08
  Speaker 6: and spitch you out real quick. Obviously they're very passionate
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: and they work hard for for their hard earned dollars.
• 52:14
  Speaker 6: So when they come and buy a ticket force each night,
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: if that's you know, NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, like they
• 52:20
  Speaker 6: want you to go out there and give it your all,
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: no excuses or anything else like that. So I love that.
• 52:23
  Speaker 6: I mean obviously I kind of feel like I grew
• 52:25
  Speaker 6: up like that my dad. No excuses, Like we out
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: play your game. It doesn't matter how you're feeling or
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: what's going on. Just play hard and have fun. But
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: I love playing there just for the fan base and
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: knowing that they're gonna, you know, kill force each night.
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: They want to beat up the other team more than us.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: So yeah, do you think early in your career you
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: would have been able to handle it as well as
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: you are now?
• 52:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean DC was such a different vibe, you know,
• 52:52
  Speaker 6: I think it it's just different. I mean, I think
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: each fan base is different. So when you understand what
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: Philly is all about, I mean, if you think about
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: New York, Boston, Philly, like just the the big places
• 53:03
  Speaker 6: like that that fans really show up each night, understand it.
• 53:06
  Speaker 6: They live and die by, you know, if their team
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: wins or not. When you kind of understand it in
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: that perspective, like, Okay, you know, I'm all about it.
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: I understand it. DC is just different. It's just it's
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: just different, you know. I mean it was it was
• 53:21
  Speaker 6: just a different spot comparative to what what Philly is.
• 53:24
  Speaker 6: And I love it. I've I've I've said this numerous times.
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: I wish I would have started my my career there
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: just because of the way it was. Chase Utley, Ryan Howard,
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: Jimmy Rollins, Banya is like all these guys just that
• 53:39
  Speaker 6: whole era of Philly's baseball was was really cool and
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: just seeing kind of the fans rally behind them, and
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: you know, as as an opposing player going in there,
• 53:49
  Speaker 6: there was there was nothing like it.
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: It was always fun going to those Caps games when
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: they were in the playoffs for sure, before getting all
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: the baseball, because the bust with the boys, we're known for.
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: We're known for baseball. The substance, Yeah.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: We had. I mean we've had some people on one.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: I've le had anybody else other than coach b I
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: don't think any baseball guys ever. No, because you said
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: my first love was baseball, Like I was a kid.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: Silver Hawks you know might not in Arizona, right, Arizona
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: big baseball stay, but you quit baseball. I was scared
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: of getting hair, he said. I grew up love. I know,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Like that was like that was the I had the Luiscans.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: I had the Luiskans all a stance because I mean
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: that's when the Backs won it and you like step
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: into the ball. I would just keep my leg out there.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: I was so afraid of getting hit. That's why I
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: quit football when I was little. That's why I quit
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: hockey when I was little. It was just scared. I
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: don't know what my question was going to be.
• 54:48
  Speaker 6: Because you get a round on my break, guys come
• 54:51
  Speaker 6: in they're like, no, I ain't trying to get hit,
• 54:53
  Speaker 6: but but I'm like guy coming over the middle, like
• 54:57
  Speaker 6: you know, I.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Got that little ball just ripping miles an hour. I
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: mean I got hit.
• 55:02
  Speaker 6: I got hit in the face, shoot four years ago
• 55:05
  Speaker 6: and with ninety eight just bang, And it was one
• 55:08
  Speaker 6: of the probably scariest moment on a baseball field I've
• 55:10
  Speaker 6: ever had. And it took me a minutes to come back.
• 55:12
  Speaker 6: But like I don't know, like just coming across and
• 55:15
  Speaker 6: ray lewis just absolutely dominating me, Like I don't I
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: don't want no part of that.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: I mean I've been dominated on a football field as well.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: That's no fun. But something about you, like, yeah, it's
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: the little ball, Yeah, just cruising in there and it
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: does all these weird movements. I can Yeah, what was.
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: Going through your mind when you got rocked in the
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: face sleeping Like you.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Know, I'm still there, So that was the biggest thing.
• 55:37
  Speaker 6: So like I I went to the ground and I
• 55:38
  Speaker 6: pressed on my face as hard as I could just
• 55:41
  Speaker 6: to see like it was broken and it wasn't. And
• 55:44
  Speaker 6: I mean I definitely had a guardian angel over me
• 55:45
  Speaker 6: because there's no chance. Like I mean, I've seen guys
• 55:47
  Speaker 6: get hit and just their faces gone, you know, like
• 55:49
  Speaker 6: surgery here, surgery there. I was I had nothing.
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: Is that one where you're like you hit up the
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: picture or something You're like, yeah, what the fuck was that?
• 55:56
  Speaker 6: I actually felt back for him. He was a rookie
• 55:59
  Speaker 6: and it kind of just got away from I think
• 56:00
  Speaker 6: he was in year two maybe, but I actually texted
• 56:04
  Speaker 6: their head, their manager at the time. It was like, hey,
• 56:06
  Speaker 6: like tell him, don't worry about it, Like it's not
• 56:09
  Speaker 6: a big deal. I don't want this to like ruin
• 56:11
  Speaker 6: him or mentally like mess him up or anything. I
• 56:14
  Speaker 6: really felt bad for him at the time, just I mean,
• 56:16
  Speaker 6: obviously it suck getting hit in the face, but I
• 56:19
  Speaker 6: was kind of worried about him, just because I didn't
• 56:21
  Speaker 6: want that to kind of determine like the rest of
• 56:23
  Speaker 6: his career, you know what I'm saying. Sales he smokes
• 56:25
  Speaker 6: Bryce Harper, Yeah, no, and the problem was too, he
• 56:28
  Speaker 6: smoked the next guy too, so he was I mean,
• 56:30
  Speaker 6: the game just sped up on him a little bit,
• 56:31
  Speaker 6: and they just got kind of crazy for him.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: So kid got rattled a little bit.
• 56:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's still pitching now. He's actually with the Phillies now,
• 56:37
  Speaker 6: so he really we just signed him, I think to him.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: Have you talked to him about it?
• 56:41
  Speaker 6: I haven't.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: No, Yeah, yeah, that would be a fun conversation. Good

  Speaker 6: all over them.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: If I go into a city and I have one
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: good place like.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 6: San frans exactly San Fran. Best Greek food I've had
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 6: is kakari, like by far my favorite.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: Like you've been to Greek Cafe in Nashville, I'm telling
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: him about that. I'll tell about Greek cafe. They load
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: your ass up.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll tell you what. Abba is a nice little
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: spot over in.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: Uh No, you don't think so, you could just tell
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: it the way he uses it, like even restaurant lingo.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: He's like white cloth. It took me a minute, like, okay,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: white cloth. I think it's nice. Do you realize he
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: he knows food.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: How many different angles he just kind of hit around us.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: He's like one of the best I've had. My favorite
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: burger in and out? You do that? Oh yeah, so
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: you're five guys where you were.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 6: Paying so much for five guys?
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: Man, it's incredible burger fast.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Food that's fast casual. There's no drive through, so that's
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: where the fast food? Yeah, okay, where is where's your
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: stance on the best burger in and out? Yeah, I'll see.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: I think we need together.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 6: But the think about in and out? Like so, so
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 6: the other night we were going to in and Out
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 6: here and it was like a four hour wait away
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 6: because of the line, and I was like, I'm not
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 6: waiting that long. It's not gonna happen. So I go
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 6: up to the front, paid a guy like one hundred
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 6: bucks to take my order. He did it for me,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 6: but we got the wrong order because they were the
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 6: first time in and out and we got their order
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 6: and they ordered tear. They got a double double playing
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 6: with pickles yea. And so I'm thinking about, like people
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 6: love Waterburger, and I'm like, if Waterburger has to have
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 6: one a chicken like them, if they have to sell
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 6: anything about burgers and it's not very good, but like
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 6: people in Texas will die on that.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: They love. People will, yeah, people in Texas, because.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 6: There's there's a certain way to order in and out,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 6: and every as always like, oh, you can't do it
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 6: like that, Like you have to order like the actual
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 6: burger with the fries, Like I think they have some
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 6: of the best fries and people are gonna kill me
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 6: for that. But if you get well done fries from
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 6: in and out, unbelievable.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: See that's where I kind of fall back a little bit.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: I think that's where I bend the knee. When the
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: argument comes in and out. It's like yeah, the fries
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: if you get well done.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: If you get well done fries, I'm telling you these.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: I rip with the animal fries.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 6: I don't like those, but like, but I like. I
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 6: like grilled onions on my burger, so I'll do like.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 6: So I do three by one grilled onions, Peppercini's on
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 6: the side, mustard on the bun.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: That's a that's an there being a DC cat will
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: vibe on the Shakeshack. Hold on before you what you see.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: I honestly, you like their fries.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 6: I'm not talking about their fries, I know, but their burger.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 6: I mean it's I'm not gonna I like their chicken.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: I like their they have good chicken. I like the
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 6: It's good, especially if you're like, I'm not going to
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 6: say like, I think they're I think Shakeshak is good.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 6: I think it's good, but I'm not going to say like, oh, yeah,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 6: it's one of my favorites. But if I go to Shakeshak,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 6: I'll eat one.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: Of their burgers.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 6: I think they're good.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: The best argument like their bun.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, little potato progress.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: The best argument for In and Out you had it
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: is you went to In and Out and there's a
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: four hour weight. You go anywhere in the country, there's
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: in and out, there's always going to be some sort
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: of weight that takes place.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: And also they hit on a two as you talk
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: about the A plus customer service known that he got
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: a kind of a botched order.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: I think it's also part of.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 6: But that was that wasn't my fault. The kids that
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 6: ordered my food. They gave me the wrong.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Bag, So it was the kid's fault, right, Yeah, because
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: you blame in children.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: Hey, we got here, we run an operation and that
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: we're known for this standard.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: Right, I'm with that when you know what I mean,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: you're not getting the full in and out you're talking about.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: I think about a pedestrian. You talking about a pedestrian
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: that's sit in the front line. Brice is like, hey,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a hundred bucks to order food for me.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: And those kids fucked it up. They have they have.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: They're not with in and out. They got their moment,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: that was their super Bowl, right, and they threw a pick.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: But their super Bowl has nothing new with in and
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: Out being the champion of fast food burgers.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it'll always, it'll forever be an argument.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 6: But I think I think a lot of people don't
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 6: like in and out, like from like Arizona over like
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 6: to the side of the country.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 6: I don't think people like it and out very much
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 6: because when they have it, like shake Shack five guys, like.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: I think everybody hates like the pompous that it is
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: the best bar nun nothing's close to it. So then
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: there's friction that gets created to talk about other burger spots,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: because there are other burger spots that are just as good,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 4: if not better.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's good burger spots. I mean burgers in general
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: are like yeah, it's like.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 6: There's one in Barstow, California that is unbelievable.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: What California, Barstow, Barstow, right next to the thing in

  Speaker 6: I was growing up, I mean anymore probably Yeah, I
• 1:04:42

• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I mean, I haven't been to
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: a theater movie in a long time. That's that sucks. Man,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: his gears. Sitting down in my rookie year in Nashville,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: like every like Thursday afternoon, I would go solo to
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: the movies during the season and just sit there and
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: watch whatever they had and just popcorn, big can of nicotine.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: That was my I went a couple of weeks ago
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: as Utopia. How good? Incredible? Yeah, amazing.

  Speaker 6: It's on, like, OK, yeah, you can get it.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: Have you guys been on F one yet? Movie? Yeah?
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen it.

  Speaker 6: Watched it last one I watched like sport Wise in
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 6: the movies though, was Ford versus Ferrari?
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: But that movie is incredible. Yes, that one probably edges
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: out F one. But Brad Pitton, this F one movie
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: is unreal. Yeah. So baseball yeah, yeah, yeah, we don't
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: have to. Oh, how is it you're playing in the
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: major league, Major leagu How is uh? I mean you
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: like quit you quit high school. You said, I'm I'm
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: gonna just grade out of this and be done because
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: of baseball. Like you were called the chosen one at
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: one point in Sports Illustrated, What kind of pressure you
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: You're baseball is Lebron James, That's what they said.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think the thing was that so
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 6: when we were going through it, I mean I grew
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 6: up playing uh, football, baseball, basketball, snowboarding, like I did everything,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 6: Like it wasn't just baseball all the time, and you know,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 6: my first love was football, like I love playing football.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 6: And then obviously I got to high school and was
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 6: kind of like pick one, like what are we gonna do?
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 6: And I picked baseball, and uh it's very hard to
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 6: walk away from a lot of other stuff, but obviously
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 6: baseball took over and it was what it was at
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 6: that point. High school baseball in Vegas just is It's okay.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 6: But like as you go and play on travel ball
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 6: teams or tournaments over you know, over the summer, you
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 6: kind of realize, like, man, it's kind of hurting me
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 6: a little bit playing high school baseball because I'd go
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 6: to these other tournaments and I kinda would get dominated
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 6: a little bit, but also like play well sometimes. And
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 6: so me and my parents kind of sat down it
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 6: was like what could be the next step, Like what
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 6: can we do? I did really good my freshman year,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 6: did really good my sophomore year, and then we talked
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 6: to a coach over at CSN College so on Nevada,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 6: and uh my ged tested out of school. And that
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 6: was a tough thing for me too, because I mean,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 6: you're giving up your junior and senior high school, right,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 6: like it's supposed to be the best years of your life.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 6: But I was kind of a ghost in high school.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 6: I was kind of I'd, you know, go to school,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 6: do my thing. I'd work out all the time, like
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 6: I had early bird weights, lived after school, and then
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 6: like have have baseball practice and do my thing. So
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 6: it's kind of I wasn't really missing out on much
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 6: besides hanging out on the weekends with my buddies.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: And having that group of friends.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, like I mean, but a lot of
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 6: my friends, you know, played baseball, played other sports and
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 6: went to a lot of different schools across the valley,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 6: so I'd go across town, hang out with them, come
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 6: back to my school, all that kind of stuff. So,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 6: but the transition into JUCO wasn't as easy of a
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 6: transition as it kind of looked. It was probably the
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 6: most pressure I'd ever been on er in my whole life,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 6: even now to this day, just because you know, you
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 6: drop out of school and then it's like you have
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 6: to play well because if you don't play well, like
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 6: there's nothing else.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: In all these headlines, and this idea of you was
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 4: already there for sure.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: When when were those headlines starting? Because you talk about
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: I was probably all the sports and then you get
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: to your freshman year and you have to pick one. Yeah,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: I know. And like in Arizona people were like with
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: hockey and baseball, it was like you get to like
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: ten essentially you have to be like all in on
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: one thing. So it sounds like you're just good at everything,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: and you're like, I guess I'll just be great at baseball. No.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 6: I mean, I just think my dad wanted me to
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 6: be an athlete. I think that was the biggest thing.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 6: I think that's what kids kind of lack nowadays, is
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 6: like they all the parents think their next their kid's
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 6: going to be the next Mike Trout or the next
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 6: you know, Lebron or the next Joe Burrow or whatever.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 6: You know. It's I think they kind of lose the
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 6: side of the kid, you know, of like letting them
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 6: be a kid, understanding that they have so much time
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 6: to be great at what they want to be great at.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 6: You know, maybe maybe the kid actually wants to play
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 6: piano and he wants to be great at piano, like
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 6: you never know, right, And so I think that's the
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 6: thing that my dad never pushed me to like do
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 6: something I always wanted. I mean I come back on
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 6: a weekend, I'd play six games and that Monday and
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 6: my dad let's go hit, you know, like let's go,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 6: let's go get some work in, you know, like I
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 6: the working mentality, Like I love to get out there
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 6: and tried to get better at anything that I did.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 6: And so for me, like just understanding once I got
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 6: into high school, like it kind of all started when
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 6: I was like probably ten or eleven years old and.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: By traveling around playing travel.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I've I mean my first competitive game I
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 6: played at seven against ten year olds. Like it was
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 6: just like I was very competitive from a very young age.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 6: And I wouldn't probably wish that on anybody because like obviously,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 6: like I loved it, but I don't know if many
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 6: people want to do it for that long, right, some
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 6: guys get burned out or they don't want to do
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 6: it anymore by the time they're sixteen. They're like, man,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 6: that's way too much baseball. I Mean, I had so
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 6: many buddies that were really good that got burnt out
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 6: because their parents just hammered on them all the time
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 6: instead of like hammer hammer love, you know, Like I
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 6: always think about that like my dad, like he'd hammer
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 6: on me, but also he'd pulled me aside. Hey, I
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 6: love your kid, Like this is what it's all about.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 6: Like this game might not last forever, but you know,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 6: we're family, we're blood, we're all this kind of stuff,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 6: like so we're in this together kind of thing. And so,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 6: you know, once I got to that point, you know,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 6: I got into to junior college and like you said,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 6: like the Sports Illustrated came out, and that's kind of
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 6: a blessing and a curse at the same time. It's
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 6: really cool, right, Like you want to be on a
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 6: Weedy's box, you want to have a tops card, Like.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: It's like what you think about growing now, Like you
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: want to.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 6: Be on Sports Illustrated and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 6: But it comes with a sense of you have to
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 6: be good, like this is this is it is what
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 6: it is, like you you have to show up or
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 6: you know you're going to be the biggest story in sports,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 6: and you don't want to be a bust. You don't
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 6: want to be the next buster. You know, everybody talks
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 6: about you for twenty.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: Years like oh hey what if? What if? What is right?
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 6: And you know, so I think getting there, I was
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 6: playing against guys that were, you know, five, six, seven
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 6: years older than me, because there's a lot of you know,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 6: Juco drop back guys from you know, D one s
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 6: and stuff like that. We had a really really good team.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 6: So we had a lot of drop drop back guys
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 6: from D one that just couldn't make grades. And so
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 6: I actually got dominated in the fall like just and
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 6: we were would bat. So our division was would bat.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 6: Everybody else was aluminum and so it kind of gave
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 6: me a sense of like, hey, this is this is
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 6: real baseball, Like we're playing wood bat. We don't have
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 6: aluminum bats. And so I mean, I kind of I
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 6: came back and said to my dad, I don't want
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 6: to do this. I want to my high school. And
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 6: so we actually met with principal, ad my coach, everything,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 6: and they were like, you can't come back. You test
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 6: it out.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: And so I was like, this is a falling.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 6: This is my first fall in judo, and so they
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 6: were like, you know, you can't do this, and I'm like, man,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 6: all right, well I got to figure this out. And
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 6: so obviously I figured it out and had a great year,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 6: but it, uh, it was tough. It was it was
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 6: probably the toughest year, knowing that like either you have
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 6: to be the number one pick or there's nothing else, right,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 6: and so like you have to be the number one
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 6: pick out of junior college. And thankfully I had a
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 6: great coach, great guys around me. My brother played with
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 6: us as well, so I had him all year. But
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 6: I had a lot of guys that had my back.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 6: And I think that was the biggest thing. Going in
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 6: and playing against all these other teams and all these
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 6: college guys was you know, I got chirped out a lot,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 6: which was which was great. I loved it, you know,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 6: it was probably the best time. But yeah, I mean
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 6: a lot of guys came in and helped me a lot,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 6: and so it was it was nice to have a
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 6: group around me that like kind of pushed me along
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 6: as well, you know, because I don't think I would
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 6: have got to where I needed to be without you know.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 4: How did some of those conversations shift? Mainly for you
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 4: when you're not around the group of guys. Obviously you
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 4: have a good group around you, got your dad, you
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 4: have it seems like you have good people that surrounding you.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 4: But also when you go back home at night, and
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: you're thinking to yourself, like what were some things that
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 4: helped you on top of that, because a lot of
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 4: that self talk stuff that athletes have and go through,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: I would assume too, it's like, yeah, you're around guys
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 4: that are lifting you up and everything else, but when
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 4: you're driving home and you're by yourself, like a shift
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 4: has to happen, like you know, from within from yourself.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think you know, obviously, I think
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 6: like motivation, it comes and goes, right, but like having
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 6: that determination to be great always has to be there
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 6: no matter what. I think that's in life today too, right,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 6: Like I mean, there are certain times where you do
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 6: a job or you do certain things like man, dude,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 6: I gotta get in there again. Got to get it,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 6: get it done, get it done. I mean you guys know,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 6: like season gets monotonous sometimes to doing the same thing
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 6: every single day all the time. Consistent for sure, you
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 6: have to stay consistent with what you do. So I mean,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 6: consistency is key to being great every day. And so
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 6: for me, like good day, bad day, I had to
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 6: be the same guy because we had, you know, a
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 6: thousand scouts at every game, Like I obviously was seventeen
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 6: years old and made a lot of mistakes when I
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 6: was sixteen, seventeen, eighteen years old. It just is what
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 6: it is, right, high school kid on the field, off
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 6: the field, like it is what it is. But for
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 6: me like understanding, like this is what I have to do.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: This is the dream.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 6: If I don't do it, then I'll be working with
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 6: my dad's side by side, you know, building hotels in
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 6: Vegas and that's not terrible, but like it's not the
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 6: dream that I had for myself.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So what was that conversation? Like who came to
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: who when you're in high school and you made the transition,
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: Like who started that dialogue? Was it your dad that
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: started that or was that you been like, hey, seems
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: like the next step for me is this.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it was a family decision at that point.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 6: I mean obvious, see my dad. So in America, you
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 6: have to be out of school for a year to
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 6: be eligible for the draft, or you have to you
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 6: have to test out and go to junior college. So
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 6: I could either go and play in Japan. I could
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 6: either go play in winter ball or in the Dominican
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 6: or something like that overseas, or I could go test
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 6: out and go to junior college. And I played for
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 6: a great coach in junior college, and so it was
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 6: kind of we went and met with him, told him,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 6: you know what, it was all about what we thought,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 6: and he goes, absolutely, let's go, let's roll with this.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 6: And you know, I looked at CSN, I looked at
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 6: two schools in Texas as well at the time, school
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 6: in Oklahoma as well, and it was just nice to
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 6: be able to stay at home, being able to be
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 6: around my family.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: I don't think it. I think it would have been
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: a lot different if I was going somewhere else.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 6: So making that decision, we talked to my advisor at
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 6: the time, Scott now my agent, and the big thing
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 6: for him was me getting out of school to have
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 6: the opportunity to be on a big league deal once
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 6: I got drafted. So after my year it was minor
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 6: league deals only, and so big league deal means you're
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 6: right on the forty men roster and you have a
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 6: chance to be up in the big leagues within you know,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 6: two or three years if you play well. And so
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 6: that was the last year of me getting drafted, was
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 6: the last year for that, and so there was a
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 6: lot of things that kind of went into our decision.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 6: And obviously there was a lot of people that were like,
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 6: you're crazy, you're robbing this kid of two years of
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 6: high school. You know he could you know, he might
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 6: not be this guy. He might not be this guy.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 6: But I love that notion, like I love people kind
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 6: of saying this about me or saying that about me,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 6: and then you know, doing my thing and not really
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 6: worrying about it, but having the group around me that
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 6: kind of helped me get there, which huge for.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: Me, which is which is wild because you're in such
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 4: a it's like a it's like a one of one
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: type situation, you know what I mean, like not going
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 4: to high school getting out. Do you ever look back
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 4: and think like, would I wish I would have stayed
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 4: in high schoo Obviously it's all worked out, but there
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: are there parts of you that's like, oh, man, I
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 4: should have played football, I should have done more sports,
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 4: knowing that maybe you could have still accomplished or been
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 4: where you're at now.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean my dream was to be a two
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 6: way guy. I met an SEC school like somewhere, and
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 6: being a two way guy like that was always like
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 6: my dream, Like playing football somewhere playing baseball. I played
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 6: outside linebacker until my freshman year, and I mean I
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 6: played well. I mean I'm not going to say I
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 6: was the greatest, but I was.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 4: As far as when you're reflecting, no one can really argue, yeah,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 4: like you were you nice on the edge or you like, stand.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: Up, stand up.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 6: So I was like Lawrence Taylor coming around the edge
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 6: trying to kill the quarterback.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: So that was because you know, people are going to
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: doubt right now, white guy playing the outside linebacker. Yeah,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: you can say whatever you want.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 6: That's okay, But like I I I enjoyed it.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: Like I I.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 6: Absolutely enjoyed playing. I love I love hitting guys. I
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 6: didn't like getting hit, but I love to hit, you
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. So that was really hard for
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 6: me making that decision of hey, I can't do this anymore.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 6: I remember walking in and going, hey, coach, like I'm
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 6: not gonna play anymore, and he was like, slap dig
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 6: baseball player. That makes sense. He like so mad, And
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 6: then my coach was sitting across across the way it
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 6: was like trust me in the spring, you'll understand, and
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 6: so like he can't watch me in the spring it
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 6: was like, oh shit, okay, like this makes sense and so,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 6: but yeah, I mean it was always like that, like
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 6: slaptig baseball player, bro, It's.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 4: Always like that, especially when baseball starts getting you start
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 4: playing like all year round and summertime you might be
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 4: playing summer ball. It takes away from whether it's seven
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 4: on seven or I got to.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 6: Miss workout, and I loved I loved hell weeks in
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 6: the summer, like I mean we I mean, you know,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 6: I was in Arizona, the same thing in Vegas, like
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 6: one hundred and eighty degrees outside, right. I love that
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 6: though it was just it was fun getting out there
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 6: and like doing that and waking up. I mean, I
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 6: still did early bird weights with the football team in
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 6: the morning for high school and that was just something
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 6: I love to do. I mean, I wanted to be
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 6: the absolute biggest guy in the weight room and do
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 6: my job and stuff. But I missed that feeling of
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 6: walking out on a Friday night crowd going nuts. And
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying Vegas is anything like Texas, Arizona, California,
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 6: Florida for foot ball.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: I love that you put Arizona in there.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 6: I love that, But I mean the thing about Arizona,
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 6: Like back in when you were playing those Chaparral Horizon Brophy.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: I mean you hear they are all good schools. You
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: hear them talking right now. Here stands in Arizona football lore.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 4: No matter what level you're playing at, no matter what
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 4: state you're in, no matter the stage, doesn't matter Friday
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 4: night lights.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: There's nothing like the balls that it's pure right. No,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: it could be one hundred thousand people in your mind
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: that are there to watch you play that night.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 6: But like, that's why I love watching high school football
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 6: and I love watching college because it still has that
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 6: demeanor of like this means more than anything, you know,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 6: Like there's nothing like this moment of walking out here
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 6: and playing for our school, the tradition of it, and

• 1:25:42
  Speaker 4: with Bryce Harper.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: You talked about us like being a two way player
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: at SEC school. A bunch of SEC coaches just set
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: up in there. See watching this, like, what was the
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: school you wanted to go to?
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 6: So early on? It's funny because early on I love Texas,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 6: so like I love the University of Texas.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: These orange uniforms were.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 6: Unbelievable, and so like I love that feeling of like, oh,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 6: I want to go play for Augy Gurito at Texas
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 6: and you know, their football program is so historic and
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 6: Austin obviously great place I saw them, but Taylor t
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 6: Garden their three hole hitter to get Drew Stubbs to
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 6: second base, and I went, I can't.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: Go there because I went hit homers.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 6: And so anywhere from like LSU to Florida, I mean,
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 6: I think any type of baseball school that like you're
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 6: looking at has to be the right like approach for you,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 6: especially nowadays. I mean it's so crazy with nil and stuff.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 6: But LSU was probably one of my top picks just
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 6: because they were so legit at the time. Arizona State
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 6: was really good at that time too, so like staying
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 6: close to home. But I didn't like the Pac twelve.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: Just the type of s you see baseball seems like
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: it's the tops.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, But like when I was growing up, it was
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 6: like Irvine, cal State, Fullerton, Arizona State, Stanford, Fresno State,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 6: like it was very like West Coast more than anything.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 6: I mean, you had all your Cinderella stories in Fresno, Irvine,
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 6: like all these teams coming in and at that time
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 6: it was all Pac twelve baseball comparative to now where
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 6: it's all secs, you know sec. I mean I would
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 6: have loved to play for Tony V. You know at Tennessee.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 6: I mean it would have been unbelievable playing for him,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 6: just the way he kind of his demeanor and everything,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: Like you want to coach like that, you know, you
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 6: want to coach that has you know, has your back
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 6: and lets the kids be kids. But also like he
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 6: still teaches as well. It's just not like go out
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 6: and play.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: And like us not being like a big baseball like
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: we don't know how to work about baseball. But meeting
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: Tony V. Seeing like the bad boys, like the balls,
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: the way they handle themselves like this, cursing guys out,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: talking shit like that, that it juiced me up as
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: a guy that doesn't watch baseball. Yeah, I want to
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: be a part of this.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 6: But like it's so it's so gibberish to do that
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 6: in baseball because it's such a classical sport, right, like
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 6: that's whatever he thinks. And so I mean the old
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 6: head heads in the game, it kind of and I
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 6: love the old headness of the game, like, you know,
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 6: being able to respect the people that like played before
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 6: you and all that kind of stuff hundred percent, like
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 6: they paved the way, they did their job. But they're
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 6: gone now, just like in you know, eight years or whatever,
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 6: when I'm done playing, like I'm done. So like the
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 6: kids that are playing now, they need to understand that
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 6: it's their game now, Like they need to go out
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 6: there and play their game, and they're gonna do it
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 6: the way they want to do it. Like I can't
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 6: tell the young kids coming up to not do it
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 6: a certain way. Like I need that kid to help
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 6: me win a World Series, so like I want him
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 6: to be hisself, no matter what whatever that looks like.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 6: I don't care where you're from, who you are, what
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 6: you do, what the team you played for before. I
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 6: don't care, like if they liked you or not. I
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 6: don't really care. Like I want you to come in here.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 6: I want you to be part of our family. You're
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 6: part of our group. They'll be an asshole, you know,
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 6: like obviously, but like you know, I want my rookie
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 6: to come up and have fun and enjoy the first
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 6: time he puts his cleats on the dirt on the
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 6: infield or in the grass in the outfield or in
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 6: the batter's box, because for us or for me, if
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 6: he's in a big moment on the field and we're
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 6: in the playoffs and he doesn't think that we have
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 6: his back, then he's probably gonna be you know, shipping bricks,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 6: you know, on the batter's box. Like it's just it's
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 6: just not fun. I mean, I think all sports kind
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 6: of are like that, where they get so hammered down
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 6: all the time. It's just like, guys, hold on, he's
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 6: trying to help us win. He's a stud, he's a superstar.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 6: Like let him be you know, let him be that
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 6: and be a guy, you know, for us, and let's
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 6: let's win this game no matter, like I said, who
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 6: you are, what you do, where you come from, Like
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 6: I don't care.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: I just want to win.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 4: So you see a young guy crack one home run
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 4: and just start riding the.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: Bat, I'm be a pissed.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, we're not doing that that can be themselves.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean there's an extent to that.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 6: Like the good thing is the thing is though, if
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 6: guy does that, he better be prepared that his next
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 6: guy up teammate is probably gonna get drilled, you know.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 6: So like then, so now I don't need that guy
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 6: to come in the dug out and break the guy's jaw,
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, because he's pissed that he
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 6: just rode the horse like happy Gilmour on the baseball.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: What are what are those like unspoken rules in baseball?
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: How high is too high of a bat flip? Like, like,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: what's the celebration you've done touched the You've done a
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: little something, haven't you? You get to boys in some
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: trouble to.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 6: An extent, I mean, I mean, I think, I mean,
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 6: I I flipped my bat in DC when I came back.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 4: Are we talking boom? And then you stood there and
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 4: you just flipped it.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'll stand on stuff, but I'm not I'm
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 6: not disrespecting the picture, like I don't for me, like
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 6: I don't want to.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna look at the guy.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 6: Like when a guy like like pimps it looks at
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 6: the picture, I think that's very disrespectful. But like when
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 6: you make it about yourself and the team, like I'm
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 6: cool with that, Like you want to celebrate with your
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 6: team and like have fun with that, like and you
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 6: know whatever to the dugout, cool, like I don't care
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 6: if any team does that, that's totally fine.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: So if a guy gets hit cracks one saddles the
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: horse and then just faces his dugout and does it,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: is that saddling the horse just off limits.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 6: I think one of the cooler ones I've ever seen
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 6: was a walk off that Princeviller hit and they did
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 6: the bomb at home plate and so I thought that
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 6: was cool, you know, but I love that vibe in
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 6: football too, when you know, defense runs back and they
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 6: do the tush push into the into the end zone
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 6: or no, I'm just saying like I'm saying, like the
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 6: celebration of it was really funny, like seeing those guys
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 6: do it.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 4: Or you know, I think I rode the horse after
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 4: a pick it was Russell Wilson. Actually you showed the
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 4: horse acted like I was slamming. I celebrated to the mask.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 4: But I love that came looked at it and winked.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 6: But that's fun.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta you gotta have a little savviness. And
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: why these pictures getting so upset about stuff?
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but that when brought.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: Up the stair, can you explain what is this stuff?
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 6: I think when people provoke, like if you provoke then
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 6: like I'm gonna come right back at you, like I
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 6: don't play that.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 4: Have you had a situation with the picture to where
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 4: there's kind of some beef and then you've taken them
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 4: yard and you're you know, you.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: Give him like a Kurt Signetti.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 6: I think our biggest one was prought me in Strickland,
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 6: But like I think that was so like overplayed, Like
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 6: it was just it was dumb, Like I don't even
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 6: think that should have happened. I mean it was six
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 6: years later after it happened, and he drilled me and
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 6: then we fought, and then it was like over you know,
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 6: Like I mean when I charged the mound. The new
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 6: one was. That was crazy though, because Strick is he's
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 6: a big boy, and so I'm running out there halfway
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 6: I'm like, oh crap, we're doing this.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: You know, like here we go.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 6: I'm committed, you know what I'm saying, Like I can't
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 6: just run the first base now. But I think the
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 6: big one was probably in the playoffs in twenty three second. Yeah,
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 6: no short stuff.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: Oh you caught you caught him? Yeah, he snuck his
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: ass right there.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 6: He duffed me, man, he deffed me.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: In the arm.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 6: Oh really yeah, right when I came up to get
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 6: over top, you duff me and it kind of went sideways.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: Now, when you're going up to bat right there, are
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: you thinking yourself? You knew it? Yeah?
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 6: I told Jada before we went up there. I said,
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 6: because of something six years early.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so what we were like, we have no clue.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: I'm enjoying story time, right yeah. Yeah, So when you're
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: when you're saying something, you're probably think like, oh people though, damn,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: you guys are going hey. Uh. He then.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 6: Ran in right there, Jeff Smarja wide receiver, notre dame,
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 6: so he real.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he runs in trying to kill me.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 6: H's morse.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: Watch this the wide receiver from loved Him. When you're
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: after that, when you're running out there, are you thinking yourself?
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: Can my boys getting there to get my back?
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah? So my problem, So your problem is you got
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 6: But the thing was is Strict told them before the game.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 6: I know this for a fact. So Strick told them
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 6: before the game, Hey, if I face Harper in this series,
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna get them. You guys need to stay back.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 6: That's why Posey sat back there and didn't stop me.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 6: And so you see Brandon Crawford and all these guys
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 6: like sitting back and whatever.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: So and also, hey, Strickland him he's a big boy,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: back up a little bit like ready to go show
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: and put that glove down. That's it was hard. Yeah. No,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: So he tells his boys that he's gonna he's gonna
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: get you, and then they need to stay back, which is,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: by the way, it's school every single time. And you're like,
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 6: This happened more often in baseball because I think it
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 6: would eliminate guys throwing at each other. Yeah, you know
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 6: what I'm saying. So it's just like hockey, like hey,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 6: you want to go, you want to go? And so
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 6: I think it would eliminate a little a little.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: Bit, dude, massive view yeah, viewership.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 6: Right, But like also like I think it would stop
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 6: right and like this is part of the game. Like
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 6: obviously I don't want to fight anybody in a baseball field,
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 6: like I didn't want to fight Strickland or anything else,
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 6: but like there comes a time where it's like hey, dude,
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 6: like you get drilled, like it is what it is
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 6: at that point. Yeah, And so I think that was
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 6: probably one of the main ones that everybody talks about.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 6: I have no bad blood with him at all anymore.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 6: That happened.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: It was just like we're done. Now.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 4: Did you catch when that it was going to happen
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 4: before the game started?
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because after the fact, I was like, hey, guys, like,
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 6: why did you guys all sit back? And so, like
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 6: I talked to some guys and they were like, well,
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 6: this is what happened. Yeah, but again, like.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: So what happened six years before that?
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 6: I hit a homer in the postseason and some stuff happened,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 6: and then I hit another like some stuff was said,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 6: and then I hit another one against him, and I
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 6: kind of stared him down at that point. Oh, so
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 6: you're provoking something happened before that that provoked me to
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 6: do that. We were not, but so but then like
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 6: the next one after this was Arcia. So RCI was
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 6: talking about some stuff, overheard it, and so that's that's
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 6: where the staredown came from.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: God, yeah, that's hard. Yeah, I mean that's so you
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: knew walking up.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 6: You're gonna get a hit against the against them.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 6: I think it was just like the moment of I
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 6: gotta do this, like everybody's watching, like this is what
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 6: it is, what it is, and trying to have my
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 6: back for myself.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: As well give the people what they want.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 6: But again, like all this stuff happens, and like I
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 6: have zero animosity towards anybody, like it is what it is,
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 6: Like you have such a different demeanor, like when you
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 6: walk onto a football field or a baseball field or anything, right,
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 6: and so like when I walk away from the field,
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 6: there's no like I don't care about it, Like it's
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 6: just it is what it is. Like if I saw
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 6: him in the parking lot, I wouldn't like, you know,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 6: try to fight him, Like I'd probably say, hey, man,
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 6: how you doing.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: You spoke since this place?
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 6: No, I've never talked to him.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: Really, I wonder if he feels the same way. I
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 6: I just don't care, Like it's just it does nothing
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 6: for me to like think about all this stuff like
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 6: it just but again, like in between the lines, I
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 6: think it's just such a different demeanor and then like
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 6: you get out of the lines, and I mean, I'm
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 6: a dad of four husband.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: You know yea at some point for sure, no doubt.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 6: I mean you gotta flip the switch and understand, like
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 6: the game is the game, and then once you get
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 6: away from it, his life, your dad, You're You're just
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 6: like anybody else.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: Crack a cold beer with him, have some laughs.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 6: I don't drink, but yeah.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: Are you guy spots? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, bud Light. You
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: don't know, but they're good. Was also fire You had
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: a teammate called bull Light? Bulllight? Oh sorry, hit me,
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: got to catch up. Yeah, leaving.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 4: How was it during the either breakup or just separating
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 4: paths with Washington? Is that any decision there where you know,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 4: you might have made the decision that some people don't
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 4: understand or how was that? Was that like a bat?
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 4: Was that a bad blood breakup? Because I know, I mean,
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 4: you're in Washington, so I'm sure everybody was just hoping
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 4: that you would stay with Washington.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I uh. Mike Rizzo, I loved him.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 6: He was He was our geam and president at the time.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 6: He was awesome. The team we were great, man. We
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 6: were always a pitcher away. And so for me when
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 6: we got into that offseason, I remember sitting on my
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 6: couch in Vegas and they had signed Patrick Corbyn and
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 6: this was like November December, and I remember looking at
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 6: my wife Klea, and I said to where I go,
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 6: they're gonna win the World Series this year. They finally
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 6: got the picture they needed and so they ended up
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 6: going like fourteen and like twenty seven or fourteen and
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 6: thirty six or something in the first like fifty games,
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 6: and they turned it around and ended up winning the
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 6: World Series. So when they did that, obviously, like as
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 6: a player, I rooted for him. I love the guys
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 6: that I played with. I understood like I was with
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 6: them for seven years, and all the guys that I
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 6: made relationships with. I was very happy to see them
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 6: do it. Obviously I want to win one because I
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 6: haven't yet. But organizationally, this was the best thing for
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 6: me to go to Philly and play there. I think
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 6: it was just time for me personally to get away
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 6: from there and do my thing with a different organization.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 6: And I made the right decision. I absolutely loved Philly.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 6: I enjoy it. The breakup, I don't know. I mean,
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 6: I don't have anything bad to say about the fans
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 6: or anything else. They boom me every time I go
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 6: in there. You know, it's sports.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: It is what it is.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, it's just weird more than anything. You know,
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 6: just because I don't know, I feel like I've did
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 6: a lot for their organization and their team and stuff.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 6: But at the same time, like it's sports. It is
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 6: what it is. But I have no bad animosity towards
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 6: it everything else, No, because I mean, for me, like
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 6: I understand the hard work that goes into it and
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 6: understanding the guys that I played with and build relationships with,
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 6: Like I was so pumped Trade Turner and Ryan Zerwoman
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 6: and all these guys that have done it, and so
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 6: obviously I would have loved to have been there and in
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 6: one one because we did get so close and.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: Understanding.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 6: We were such a good team at all those points
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 6: of when I played there. I mean we we've never
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 6: had a losing record. I don't think in the you know,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 6: seven years that I was there made it to the
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 6: playoffs maybe five out of the seven. And so, I
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 6: mean just a just a great time and had a
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 6: had a really good, you know ride with them. But
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 6: turned the page to Philly. I mean it's been it's
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 6: been unbelievable.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: How does the free agency and baseball work and how
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: did you end up on on the Phillies or what
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: other teams were involved?
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so it was very quiet at the beginning. I
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 6: would say, I mean it was funny. So going back
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 6: to the National so we actually so we had our
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 6: last game in DC and then we went on the
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 6: road that year to play I think the final was
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 6: in Colorado, and so we were in a rain delay.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 6: It was like the sixth inning and my coach walked
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 6: over to me and my manager was like, hey, old
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 6: Man's in the office, and I was like, that's weird.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 6: So I go in and I sit down with old man,
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 6: old Man Learner, and he's their owner. He was their owner,
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 6: and so I remember sitting there and he goes he
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 6: hands me an envelope and says, this is an.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: Offer you won't be able to refuse. This is during
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: a game, like middle of the game, middle of the game,
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: old Man wants to see you. Mid the game, rain delay,
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: the right time to come to Bryce and tell him
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: it's time.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 6: And so I was like, what, like are we serious
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 6: right now? Like this is this is how it's happening
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 6: right now. And obviously my agent wasn't there, had no
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 6: idea this was happening nothing. So I go back to
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 6: my chair and I'm sitting at my chair in my locker,
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 6: and I was like, hold on. So I text my wife.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 6: I'm like, hey, come down to the to the door,
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 6: like I need to talk to you real quick.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: She's like what.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 6: I was like, okay, So she comes down. I handed
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 6: the envelope. I'm like, he just offered me, you know,
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 6: X amount of dollars. Like she goes, he did this
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 6: during a game. I said, yeah, isn't that weird? And
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 6: so I called my agent and he goes go down
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 6: to the fine print and so I go down to
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 6: the fine print and it's like seventy percent deferred over
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 6: the next thirty years of your life. And so it
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 6: was like the deal with the deferrals of like and
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 6: so he's like, yeah, that's not a good offer, and
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 6: so I go back to my locker. But just the
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 6: moment of that, like I was just like that's wild,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 6: you know, like.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: Why what would make him not want to go through
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: the agent?
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 6: Just in that moment, it was just kind of weird.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 4: Like it was just as like, what you know, you
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 4: started to dock with the cowboys like a Jerry Jones.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 6: Right, Like it was just it was a really weird
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 6: perspective as I was sitting there because I mean, my
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 6: season is not over yet, obviously, like and I understand,
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 6: like you want to get a deal done. I get
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 6: that totally. Like I had people come out to me
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 6: all year, throughout the whole year kind of trying to
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 6: get things done, trying to get things done, and.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: So that was different.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 6: I mean, obviously, the the you know when the off
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 6: season kind of hit, you're not allowed to talk to
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 6: anybody until the World Series is over, and then you
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 6: have like a brief period and then they go to
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 6: GM meetings and then they got Winter meetings and stuff.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 6: Winter meetings were in Vegas where I was, so that
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 6: was kind of cool, like being able to go down
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 6: and meet with teams. But I had some really good meetings.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 6: We had the White Sox Padres, San Francisco, Dodgers came
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 6: in late and then Philly talked to them as well
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 6: at that point, so I had five teams kind of
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 6: talk to me. My deal with the with the Dog
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 6: was less money, but very similar to what Kyle Tucker's
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 6: on right now that he signed. Obviously not to the
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 6: extent of what Kyle's at right now, but very similar,
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 6: four year deal, opt outs, all that kind of stuff.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 6: I had one team offered me a one year for
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 6: forty eight. I think it was one year forty eight
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 6: or one year fifty, and I kind of was like,
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 6: I want to take that. Yeah, and the team, the
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 6: team that it was was really good, and so I
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 6: was like, man, I would have I would have loved that.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he doesn't want to say did
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: the one team offer me? And I was like, I
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: kind of want to go to that team. It's like, Okay,
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: what's the did the is? Did this team have pinstripes? No? No,
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: the Yankees were not in at all. Because you grew
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: up a Yankee fan, yep, I did, and they'd never
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: been in the loop with you. They were never in
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: the loop. At the beginning. Were hopeful that the Yankees
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: would come into this.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 6: I think you're always hopeful for big market teams to
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 6: be in just because it drives money or anything else.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 6: But I loved the pinstripes growing up. I loved all
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 6: the players that played there in the winning mint out
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 6: that they had. But at the same time, they had
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 6: just got John Carlos Stanton from Miami and so he
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 6: was on a big deal. They had some young guys
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 6: coming up that they believed in more than me and stuff.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 6: I told teams I could play first base, and they
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 6: didn't believe me that I could play first base, and
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 6: so they all just wanted me to play the outfield,
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 6: which was fine. But now it's funny that I'm at
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 6: first base and you know, top three, you know, gold
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 6: Glove every year, but I don't know it. It was
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 6: it was cool to be kind of wanted, right, Like
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 6: you kind of go into the situation and you talk
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 6: to all these teams, and it's weird kind of also
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 6: sitting there understanding that you have to put your faith
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 6: in these teams without even knowing these organizations besides what
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 6: they tell you, right, Like you you can talk to
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 6: anybody on other teams, but like I mean, I talked
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 6: to White Sox guys.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: They're like, oh, it's great organizations. These people are great.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 6: If I would sign with the White Sox, I probably
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 6: already been traded out of there because they've been in
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 6: a rebuild for you know, the last ten years or
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 6: ever since Konerko left, you know, so like I mean,
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 6: it's it's been a it was a it was a wind.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 6: I mean, making the decisions that I did, having the
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 6: Dodgers come in late was was tough for me, you know,
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 6: because they're a really good team and you're sitting there
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 6: and you're like four year deal, and I was like, man,
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 6: I don't really want to go through this again. I
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 6: didn't want any opt outs like that was a big
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 6: thing for me.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 4: So you were close to the finish line with the
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 4: Phillies and then that's when the Dodgers come in.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like, ah shit, yeah.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 6: So I was close with so San Diego had signed
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 6: Machato maybe like two weeks after my deal or two
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 6: weeks after I met with them. They wanted a third
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 6: base and they kind of told me that They're like, hey,
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 6: like we want an infielder. We need an infielder, and
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 6: so they went with Machato. But that's my best meeting
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 6: actually was the White Sox. They actually came in. I
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 6: believed in a lot of their stuff, and they're young guys.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 6: Jim Tomay was in there with me, and actually I
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 6: said to tell me, I said, well, are you like
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 6: hitting better though the White Sox or Phillies And he
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 6: kind of was like they're both great, you know, yeah,
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 6: you know, but I asked point blank two Toboci. I said, Hey,
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 6: is this your last year coaching in San France? And
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 6: he was very upfront with me and said yes, and
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 6: so big.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: I was very.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 6: I'm happy that he told me that because I would
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 6: have loved play for Bruce Bochie obviously, like he one
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 6: of the greatest managers in baseball of all time. But
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 6: for him to be upfront with me and that situation
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 6: was huge for me in my career because I probably
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 6: would have went and thought about San Fran a lot
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 6: more because of Bochie comparative to you know, anybody else.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 6: But I mean, at the at the final stretch, I
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 6: felt like it was always going to be Philly. They
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 6: offered obviously three thirty. San Fran was at like three fifteen,
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 6: and then at the last moment they came up to
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 6: three thirty. Every every every team was pretty much at
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 6: three thirty. Like every team. They were all kind of
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 6: incahoots about that and talking and stuff. They said, they
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 6: don't but it is what it is.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: So Sant Frank could have been a move.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 6: It could have been, but my life just doesn't match
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 6: that city.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: So he's great.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 6: I mean, Tony Bee's the man, you know, I think
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 6: he's gonna do really good, good things up there. I
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 6: think having a guy like that, it's the way he come,
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 6: which is he's got a lot of Tennessee boys on
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 6: that team too, So.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, he's like, uh, test he's a test subject
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: a little bit right, coming from college for sure.
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 6: I mean I think he's one of the first ones
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 6: to do it, comes straight to college and being MLB.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, in your opinion, how big of a difference is that, Like,
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 4: is it wild that he's getting this opportunity or is
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 4: it kind of saying like, oh, it's it's kind of
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 4: nice to see somebody take a chance like this because
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 4: you feel like it'll work out.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 6: I think it's one of the best hires around, Like
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 6: I don't. I don't think it's I think Buster did
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 6: a great job. I mean Buster wanted them. I think
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 6: the being able to have Buster as your president and
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 6: GM like, there's nothing like it. I mean, Posey's one
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 6: of the best to ever do it as well. So
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 6: I think the big thing for Tony was like, Hey,
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 6: I want to be able to come in and be myself,
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 6: Like I don't want to have to change or I
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 6: don't want to have to listen to this guy or
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 6: this guy, and I think Buster was like, no, like,
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 6: we want you to be Tony B. You know, because
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 6: Tony V's what's got what's what's got you here? His
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 6: path in baseball has been incredible and for him to
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 6: go into Tennessee and change around that you program, and
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 6: then you know, every time we play them, I hope
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 6: we beat him, obviously, but I wish him all the
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 6: all the success just because of the person he is
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 6: and who I know, you know that's on that team,
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 6: Like he's going to be great for that organization.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: How what's it like, what's it like changing positions? Because
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: you earlier you were catcher, then you're in the outfield.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: Now you're at first base. And as a dumb baseball guy,
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: you watch Moneyball and Chris Pratt had the hardest time,
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: the hardest time going to first base.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, thetar in that movie though, because Ron Washington is
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 6: the coach. I don't know if guys knew that, but
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 6: Ron Ron Washington, he's like he's one of the best
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 6: to ever do it, like infield coach wise, and uh
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 6: so they that's the that's the actor that's playing or
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 6: he's the guy that's playing him. Yeah, uh for Ron
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 6: Washington and they go, how hard is it? And Billy
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 6: Bean's like, it's not that hard, and they look at Washington,
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 6: Wash goes, it's extremely hard. Pratt's likes in there like crap, Yeah,
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 6: I guess I can do, you know, like I can't
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 6: really throw anymore, but you know, I got it. But no,
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 6: I mean just being trying to be an athlete. I mean,
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 6: I grew up playing the infield pretty much all through college,
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 6: high school and then college. I'm at cop but I
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 6: played you know, shortstop and third base as well. But
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 6: it was nice to kind of get into something new,
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 6: you know. I think when you know, it kind of
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 6: gets monotonous just standing out in the outfield all the time.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 6: And now I don't have to hear all the people
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 6: behind me yelling and screaming at me either, So that's good.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 6: So but it's been fun, man, I think, just trying
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 6: to be the best I can over there for for
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 6: my infield, understanding that I got guys out there that
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 6: can win gold gloves, you know, because of me or
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 6: not because of me? Right, Like if I pick a ball,
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 6: like I'm helping them out, or if I miss a
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 6: ball like I just killed him. You know, it's an
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 6: air on him, you know. So just trying to help
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 6: them as much as I can for them to be great.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 6: I think that's, you know, kind of what first base
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 6: is all about, you know. I think obviously at young
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 6: age that kind of just put the young fat kid
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 6: over there and they're just like, go play, you know.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 6: But now it's all of them wearing number twenty five too,
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 6: because of Mark Maguire back in the day.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, stand out.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because you made the switch after you made the
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 4: switch after Tommy John's right.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I had TJ.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: I love you got a nickname for your injury, TJ. TJ.
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: So got the TJ handled that business right there. How
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: hard is that? People say that you come back fast
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: from that now, right, some guys can b better?
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 6: Uh yeah, I mean I think it kind of depends
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 6: on like your rehabbing stuff. I was super lucky. I mean, uh,
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 6: Ela Trosh did my surgery for Merode. He's the best.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 6: So I didn't go see that.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: Guy in Alabama had when I got my a cl
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: done the second time, you get it fixed, I was
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: the Walker Bueller. You just had the Tommy John and
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: Eli Trosh is like, yeah, with these guys now with
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: the surgery, like some guys like throw harder better with it.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 4: Because you came back the fastest of any player.
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 6: That has position player. So I came back in five on,
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 6: which is like eight to nine. It's a or like
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 6: for pictures, it's like twelve to fourteen, depending just kind
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 6: of depends on.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: The guy or that's player.
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 6: But I was super lucky too because we had the
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 6: DH and so they just came to the National League
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 6: with the DH, or I would have missed the whole
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 6: year and so being able to kind of have the
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 6: DH and it didn't hurt when I swung, and so
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 6: I was able to play through it that whole rest
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 6: of the year and then had the surgery in the
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 6: off season, rehabbed it and was back I think May
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 6: first from we had I had surgery November, like day
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 6: before day before Thanksgiving, had surgery, and then came back
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 6: home after that and started rehabbing it. But I cut
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 6: the cast off to really started moving it, and so
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 6: I was like.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 4: Just like cool nights, He's just off the crazy.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: Ferrell.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 6: I texted elatross Is like, Hey, how quickly can I
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 6: get this thing moving and he was like, just hold on,
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 6: like we don't want any infection. I was like, so
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 6: the only reason I can't move it is because of infection.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 6: He goes, you really want to move this thing? I
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 6: go yeah, And so I remember, dude, I was sitting there.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 6: I took the cast off and I was sitting there
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 6: like this. I had him send me a video and
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 6: he was like, all right, so stabilizing at your knee
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 6: and just try to go down as much as you can,
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 6: like just like three or four times, hold it, you know. Yeah,
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 6: And I think that really helped me like moving my body.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 6: But like I went on an extreme diet to like
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 6: stayed away from a lot of stuff and just tried
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 6: to get my body moving, you know the best I could.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 4: In the crazy how obsessed you get with like you know,
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 4: when you get injured and you realize you're gonna get
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 4: a surgery, and the first question how long does this
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 4: usually take? And they might say six months, and then
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 4: in your mind you're like, I'm gonna get back. I'm
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 4: gonna fucking blow. Everybody's just gets obsessed with beating whatever
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 4: the expectation is. Where you change your diet, you're you
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 4: know You're You're like, hey, relax, infection. You're like, so
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 4: it's just infection. Send me a fucking video. I'm gonna
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 4: get the same movie. I'm gonna show everybody that I
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 4: can bring back.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 6: I think it's just like one to get back, right.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 6: I mean, sometimes it's dumb, sometimes it's good. I mean
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 6: it's worked out for me. My arms felt great, I've
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 6: had no pain.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 4: And it's going in the first phase too. Is that
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 4: like in your mind, like a longevity factor.
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think you're trying to pipe one
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 6: in from.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 4: The outfield versus you know, scooping them up, striking, whipping
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 4: around the diamond.
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 6: If I could be on peptides, I'd play for another
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 6: ten years, but can't be on those, So no, I think, yeah,
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 6: I mean being able to. Obviously, longevity comes with understanding
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 6: your body and what you know, you want to put
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 6: into it, what you want to do. I mean, I'm
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 6: I'm like one hundred percent in more than eighty twenty
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 6: with food or anything I put into my body or
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 6: you know, just everything. Yeah, it's just like all the above. Obsessive, Yeah,
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 6: very obsessive with what I do, which is which is
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 6: good and bad? Right, like, it's very hard for me
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 6: to just go out and like eat it, you know,
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 6: good meal.
• 1:54:02

• 1:54:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really like it's really hard for me like

  Speaker 4: level of torture. It's like intermediate, but you feel like
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 4: you're getting tortured.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 1: We had a guy named Roger Saffold. He would take
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: he would take a syringe like with the like that
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 1: big of a syringe and he would just shoot four
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: fifty or fifty whatever the number was that we would do,
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 1: and he would sit there, dude, for t is. That's
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: every game we had Cray, we have Dilo, and we'd
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: just be like, yeah, two dicks a day. It keeps
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 1: doctor away. Close through the week and then game day,
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: game days, tourt all I'd want room, no no clothes
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: on it, all completely naked, just bend over that the

• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: much are you doing?
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 6: I mean like four fifty, So let's just say you're
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 6: in four to fifty bag, That's that's when I'm at
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 6: the highest. So like if I don't go any higher than.
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 1: That, yeah, So we did that for a while and
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: then we realized, like, okay, this study has gone this,
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: so you know that the most the best is like
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: the form.
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 6: Well that's the thing. So like it's whatever's good for
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 6: your body. And so like if you're at two hundred
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 6: and that's good for you, then like you do it
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 6: at two hundred, you could do it like bi weekly
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 6: or whatever. Like any higher you go, it doesn't have
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 6: any benefits for you.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: After you know, the psychopath mentality of love for sure, Yeah,
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: for sure all that.
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 4: But Rogero he even went into the syringe, like say
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 4: the bag. They would stand over him and he would
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 4: just lay on his back like this and they would
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 4: just squeeze the fuck out of the bag and he'd
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 4: get done in eighteen He got done in eighteen minutes,
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 4: like say a four to fifty bag or seven fifty's
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 4: gar and his eyes would just be bloodshot as he
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 4: lays on.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: Him, he'd be drenched in sweat and then like be
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: quiet for a minute and a half and and then
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: he's just like, all right, is different, man? You thought
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: are different? That that was I've always said that was
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: just Roger. Roger do it, and then Nate Davis. But
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: Roger was the only one ever saw I do the
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: syringe where they legit, just take the syringe of an
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: India and put it right.
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 4: In everybody else with bags around yea, yeah, five minutes
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 4: and then it'll be like if you if you go
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 4: over forty five, guys are gonna be like, really that's
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 4: I put it.
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 6: At the bottom of the bag.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 6: I put it at the bottom of the bag and I
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 6: get it in like ten minutes.
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 1: See that that to me? I would I would throw
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: up really. Yeah. I think it was in my nuts
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: at the eighteen fifty and then at the four to fifty,
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: I feel chest and like right at my stomach.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 6: I get the stomach because that's where I keep all
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 6: my like my inflammation and stuff like all my inflammation
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 6: and stresses at my stomach and so like that's where
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 6: it attacks the most. I would say, yeah.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, is no jokes. Have you involved and developed? Have
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 1: you done ebu? What's he done? So?
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 6: Ebu is where they take your blood out of this
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 6: arm and it goes through red light, oxygen, another filtration system,
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 6: and it comes back out and right into your other arm.
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 6: So a one thirty of your blood gets out of
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 6: your body within the hour and it comes right back
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 6: into your body.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: I've done. I've done. It kind of sounds like some
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: o's like another layer.
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so ozones Like so ozones just your blood. You
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 6: put it up and they put it back in. So
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 6: this one, the blood is actually filtered, get through red
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 6: light everything and then comes right back in. So it
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 6: looks like super dark kind of like this chair, like
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 6: a little bit darker as it comes out and then
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 6: super red as it comes back. You got it?
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: What you can get this in Nashville.
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 6: I think I think Bobbo doesnt.
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: Pass where like it goes up and there's like a
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 1: it kind of like shakes like this, and it puts
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: the ozone in it and it goes back in. But
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't know about what's called ebo.
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 6: Ebu or ebo or whatever.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like I've never seen that machine before.
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: I got that done.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 6: It was cool.
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: It's something. I was go ahead, No, you're good. I
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: was gonna say something I remembered, well, do you real quick?
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: I had what kind of needs you because he's one
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: of the highest profile MLB players. It's active right now.
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, how much is it bullshit
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: that we can't use peptides? Right?
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 6: It's terrible because.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah we can wait, I don't care, but like, uh yeah,
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 4: I feel like peptides should be allowed and be able
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 4: to be Like I feel like there's so much research
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 4: on it now to where it's there's it's just so.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 6: Why can a teacher, a pilot, uh you know, firefighter,
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 6: a chef, why can they all do it? But athletes
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 6: that travel the world or travel all over the country
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 6: can't take peptides even if it's not even if it's
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 6: not a grow. So there's growth hormone peptides, okay, and
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 6: then there's non growth hormone peptides that are good for
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 6: your gut, good for healing, good for recovery, you know,
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 6: all that kind of stuff, Like why can we not
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 6: take that kind of stuff because longevity of that they're unbelievable,
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, Like that log.
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 4: From the stigma of thinking that it it's it feels
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 4: too close to ped for sure and everything. Obviously baseball
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 4: they had their own thing, but it's been it's been
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 4: all sports.
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 6: Right, I mean, that's that's I think that's a big
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 6: issue too though in our obviously in the world today,
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 6: like they're so locked in on you know, so many
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 6: different things, like you, I don't know, there's just you
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 6: you can't do wellness stuff that you really should be
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 6: able to do in the States. You have to go
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 6: somewhere else to do it. And it's like what are
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 6: we doing? Why can we not do it? For the
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 6: longevity of life? Obviously obviously there's other things that you know,
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 6: people believe and stuff. But for me, like I want
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 6: to be able to put stuff into my body and
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 6: my system that work for me and if that, if
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 6: that works for me, then I want to do it.
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 6: And the longevity of that, Like I could be able
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 6: to play and I mean when I'm done playing and
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 6: I'm able to take peptides, Like I'm gonna feel better
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 6: than I was when I was playing. You know, like
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 6: we travel for one hundred and six two games across this
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 6: across the across the country, and we're traveling, getting in
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 6: at you know, three four o'clock in the morning, have
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 6: a day game the next day sometimes and it's like what.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: Are we doing?
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 6: You know, like why can why can this not be
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 6: regulated to an extent? Like every guy should be able
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 6: to do this, like this thing.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 4: You know they that you know, they can find ways
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 4: to regulate it.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 1: He was on BPC. What haven't got there yet?
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 4: We're just I was like, how much bullshit is it
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 4: that we can't use peptides? Like I remember before BBC
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 4: one fifty seven got banned. I want to say, what
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 4: year was it, Maybe twenty nineteen, twenty twenty.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, twenty twenty, twenty twenty one. I think
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: was like it was like this decade, yeah.
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 4: Because in twenty sixteen I started doing it because I
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 4: listened to like a Ben Greenfield podcast where he was
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 4: on Rogan and then I started listening to Ben Greenfield
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, all this stuff's out there and he's
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 4: talking about it. It's not on these lists like BBC
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 4: one fifty seven is uh, what's.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 1: It called, like.
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 4: Body protection compound? Yeah, And so I started doing it
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 4: and it helped with my injuries. And then when it
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 4: became band, you kind of feel like you're a badass
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 4: because you've you found something from the system.
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you found like a podcast.
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 4: A few years ago from people who think in the
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 4: Health three point zero or the new wellness stuff that
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 4: goes on, And I'm just thinking, how can they not
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 4: give guys access to this stuff because.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 1: You know it, you know it helps you.
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 6: Well, it's good for the longevia life. Yeah, it's not
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 6: just for sports, like it's longevia life. I was saying him,
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 6: Like pilots can take it, teachers can take it, shifts
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 6: can take it, police firefighter, like anybody can take it.
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 6: It's taken the right way. It's it's great for you. Like,
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 6: why can professional athletes not take this product. It's not
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 6: a ped it's not a steroid. It's not like I'm
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 6: going to G and C and grabbing the best thing
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 6: I can or you know, going somewhere else and getting
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 6: something illegal, Like, No, this is something that's very very
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 6: good for you, right, and you should be able to
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 6: take it.
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: Going to a GMC is nothing like that something Get
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 1: four something. You see like all the stuff behind the
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 1: no explode.
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 6: You guys remember no explode.
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I never dejected. I never dejected it. But
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 1: I had no explode. I had the night tricks that
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 1: came with it as well. That was like for like
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 1: blood flow, so I had it was like red with
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 1: a silver cap, right. I remember.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 6: I remember go to my buddy's house. I was like
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 6: fourteen years old. Yeah, and he was like, yeah, d
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 6: this is my brothers. It's like blue Raspberry, no explode.
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 6: I'm like, yeah. We go to like we go to
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 6: twenty four hour Fitness or whatever. We're like, you know,
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 6: pump in whatever, Like five minutes go by, do you
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 6: I got at.
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 1: The bathroom like that Beta Alan that beat Alany and
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 1: hits your system. You get that little you know.
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 6: It's working, But isn't that crazy? Like you take the
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 6: littlest thing during season or something, You're like, oh, I
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 6: feel like an absolute monster and it's just like the
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 6: lowest level of something you can put into your system, right,
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 6: you know, And then like people get on BPC or whatever,
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 6: any peptide and they're like, I feel like I feel
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 6: like an absolute animal.
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The BBC thing was wild to me because when
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 1: Will came over from the Redskins, he put me on
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 1: BPC and it was kind of the first couple of times,
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 1: like taking a needle and drawing it and put it in.
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 1: You're like, I don't know, mix it and everything. This
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 1: is it the mo come here exactly. You take it
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 1: and pinch it and then you just do it. I'm like, yeah,
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 1: just a light. I had like an ankle, my ankle
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: I got really swollen. I rolled it and it was
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 1: like a Wednesday. I was like, I don't know if
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 1: I can play this week. And I put BPC in
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 1: there like twice a day, like acutely right in the spot.
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 1: By Sunday, I felt fine. I was like, oh, this
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 1: is it really does help in the TV five hundred,
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 1: which I was never big on that. Well.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 4: TV five hundred is something that you would that would
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 4: show up you get like POP four, but now that
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 4: we're done, you mix like BPC one fifty seven and
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 4: TV five hundred kind of like you know, fucking racers.
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I saw a list. I don't know, maybe like
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 6: two months or maybe like two months ago about peptides
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 6: and it wasn't on MLB's non improved list or approved list.
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 6: But if you test positive for it, you're in trouble. Right,
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 6: So it's like it's like, well it's not well it's
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 6: not FDA approved.
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 1: Gotcha.
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 6: Oh so that's why, Like that's why, you know what
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 6: I'm saying. Yeah, I don't know, it's wild.
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 1: Then you start thinking like do these owners do they
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: want us to go up?
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 1: I think they do.
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 6: Well, that's the thing I think. Well, the thing is
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 6: is I think owners do want it because they are
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 6: paying a crap ton of money for all these players
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 6: and they're a little bit older. Like why would they
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 6: not want players to be on peptides?
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, Like, I think this should
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 6: be in our bargaining agreement coming up, like peptides should
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 6: be in it. I really do think that's a big
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 6: thing for well older player.
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 4: In the minute you get into another free agency cycle,
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 4: the market's alway is higher. Whereas if you know you
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 4: want to get younger, especially in NFL, like I know
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 4: you guys play a lot longer than we do, but
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 4: you want it to be a younger crop because younger
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 4: is cheaper.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, for sure.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 4: No, the conspiracy I put the tin foil on. It's like, yeah,
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 4: you think that you're them paying you three hundred three
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 4: hundred thirty million. They want you on whatever you can,
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 4: and it's like, okay, when he comes up again, if
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 4: he's still at the top of his game, we can't
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 4: find h Whoever the next one is yeah, six sixty.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, you're right. I think I think there is
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 6: that type of.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 1: That's what BPC does for you. That's me. Oh goodness,
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 1: Hey you see them TOP telling you top so crazy toord?
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah was that?
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 1: When was that? That was at a surviving bar stool ship?
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 6: For real? I know I'm looking at him, like, man, really,
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 6: what's the heaviest you ever played that YouTube?
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 1: Two thirty seven?
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: The heaviest I ever was was like three eighteen, But
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: that was like in the summer, and like I drink
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 1: a gallon of water, I threw up right after. I
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 1: was always gotta have to gain weight. But I played
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 1: between like three oh eight and three terrible. That feel
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 1: in your body, dude, how great do you feel now?
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: I feel way better now for sure? Like you, I
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 1: like I didn't know how much pressure that was in
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 1: my body until I lost weight. Like once I knew
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 1: I couldn't play anymore, Like in three weeks, I was
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 1: like two eighty five because if I didn't eat and
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like like seriously working out, I would lose
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 1: weight so fast. And then once I hit like the
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 1: two sixty, I'm going right around two fifty now. But
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 1: once I hit like that two sixty, I was like, oh,
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 1: I can definitely tell these things that I thought were
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 1: just like a part of life, like wearing terrible life,
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 1: It's way different.
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 6: Go for a walk, you're out of breath.
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd say for me, I have more of just
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 4: look at that chows that life. You'd say, what I
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 4: feel like more for me, I've just kind of chosen
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 4: not to feel incredible because I see some of the
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 4: old photos of playing and just taking three fifty five
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 4: or three twenty five, three thirty five on a ride
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 4: for six refs. Yeah, I can't even Yeah, that was
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 4: the strongest I ever got like that my back, I
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 4: know your game was and now it's you know you
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 4: got the little back issues a little this one yeah,
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 4: and then hearing about the yeah, yes, yes, five s.
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 6: I yeah, I'll get you.
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 1: That is the big, big win about being so big.
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 1: When you plays like people are like, oh, it looks great.
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 1: I really don't do much. I just have lost a
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 1: lot of weight, and then Will has stayed the same weight,
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 1: but he's.
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 4: Not I've lost you know, I'm down around two twenty
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 4: so I haven't like lost that. But as far as
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 4: the way my body feels, I just haven't even come
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 4: close to taking care of it the way I did
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 4: when I blame, which is a massive red flag. Yeah
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 4: you listen you talk about that ebo. It was like, yeah,
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 4: I kind of need to just get back in the game.
• 2:10:47

  Speaker 4: So you're absolutely there's pockets where he's probably like, you know,
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 4: I'm just okay, I'll talk.
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 1: I'll talk for myself.
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 4: I'm sure there'd be pockets you're traveling, like, Okay, this
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 4: would be a nice little break. But then there's gotta
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 4: be sometimes like man, I kind of like it sucks
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 4: having to be on the road all the time, especially
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 4: when you're talking to your wife.
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 1: You're hearing what they're go through.
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 4: When you are home and present and doing all the things,
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 4: you can't get a perspective on knowing what they go
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 4: through all the time. So then when you're on the road,
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 4: you kind of feel.
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 1: You probably the dad guilt kicks in now you think
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 1: about all the shit we did, Yeah, from a week
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 1: to week standpoint, like Monday to Sunday, just getting ready
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 1: for the game, and I would come home. Yeah, I
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 1: mean Will had his kids after his career, but like
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 1: my kids were young in the middle of it, and
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting there like, yeah, I want to hang out,
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 1: but I know I have all these things I need
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 1: to like mentally check off a box to know that
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 1: I can be ready for Sunday. Yeah.
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 6: No, I think the biggest thing for us, man is
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 6: like we play one hundred and six two games, one
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 6: hundred and like eighty days or something like that, and
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 6: so we're I mean even I think maybe one hundred
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 6: and seventy five days something crazy. But you have to understand,
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 6: like the hardest for me, the hardest job in the
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 6: in the world is being a stay at home mom
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 6: with your kids because like cortisol levels, stress levels, like
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 6: everything is through the roof.
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine me at home all day with.
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 6: Four kids or like your kids like all of them
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 6: need you, need you, you know, twenty four to seven,
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 6: like and so I'm very lucky I get to go
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 6: to the field and play baseball, you know, because I
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 6: get I get the you know, hanging out in the
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 6: locker room and that's not my wife. But but no,
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 6: I mean I think just having that perspective of like,
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 6: you know, understanding what their job is to you know,
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 6: they have a job to do as well with four
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 6: kids at home and keeping them alive and understanding like
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 6: what's going on. But I have them travel with me
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 6: as much as possible, Like I I love them being
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 6: with me. Obviously it's tough with a newborn and you know,
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 6: one and a half year old and going through season
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 6: with that, Like you don't sleep, like it is what
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 6: it is like you got to be dad too, Like
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 6: you can't just like I don't want to look back
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 6: on my career obviously and sit there and like man,
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 6: like I wish I would put more into my career.
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 6: I put a lot into my career. But also I
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 6: don't want to miss these stages of life for my
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 6: six year old, five year old, one and a half
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 6: and newborn, Like I don these are all stages I
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 6: want to be part of, you know, because one day
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna look back on it and my kid's gonna be,
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 6: you know, fifteen sixteen years old, and I'm gonna want
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 6: to hold them again and They're not gonna let me.
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, Like, there's no greater feeling
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 6: than having your kids. There's a song by Luke Combs
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 6: called front Door Famous. Yeah Yeah, and so like hearing
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 6: that and understanding like, no matter what I do at
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 6: the baseball field that day, when I walk through that door,
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 6: my kids are me screaming and yelling Daddy. You know
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 6: what I'm saying, Like, there's no greater feeling than that.
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 6: There's no better job in the world than being a.
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 1: Dad, you know, so right now?
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 6: No, I mean I think I think there's one thing
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 6: that somebody talk to me about it the other day
• 2:16:36
  Speaker 6: and they were like, what's what's the thing that you
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 6: think holds you back the most in your career And
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 6: I would say my kids, because I do have that,
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 6: and it's not a bad thing, Like I love it,
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 6: like I love being a dad, but also like I
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 6: I have dad guilt a lot because I don't want
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 6: to go and work out every single day because I
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 6: want to help my kids. I want to be around them, right,
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 6: But also there's a give and take with that where
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 6: I want them to see I'm working. I want them
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 6: to see the work that I put in because one
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 6: day I want them to be able to do that
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 6: as well. Those are my nieces and nephew.
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 1: That's hilarious.
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 6: But like I mean, I think, like understanding. Obviously, I
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 6: only have, you know, a couple more years left of this.
• 2:17:15
  Speaker 6: I want to enjoy it, and I want to love
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 6: it as much as possible. You know, it's a big
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 6: thing for me, and I want to enjoy these moments
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 6: with them. But you know, at the same time, like
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 6: baseball isn't just you know, my world. You know, it's
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 6: just it's something that I do. And you know, I'm
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 6: very fortunate to have a great career and be I'm
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 6: super grateful for it. But my family, you know, means
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 6: the world to me.
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: With that stuff, nothing shocks you have a main character
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 1: syndrome more than having kids, Like you realize, okay, like
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 1: we're partners in this whole thing. We're gonna go and
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 1: get it done together. But once a kid comes into
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 1: the fold, it's like all the things that seem so important,
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 1: like whether it's the game or how you feel about
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 1: your practice that day, Like it's the way is much
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 1: less because you feel like this this thing is so much, well,
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 1: I may need to make sure I have time with
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 1: and I.
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 6: Think that I don't think people realize that with professional
• 2:18:01
  Speaker 6: athletes either. They're just like whatever, figure it out, you know,
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 6: like you got this, you got that, and they're right, like,
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 6: we're very fortunate and I have a lot of things right,
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 6: but I still go through the same problem as everybody
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 6: else does. It's like you know, somebody down the street
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 6: with family or friends or anybody else you know. So,
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 6: but realizing like being a dad is the greatest job
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 6: in the world is something that I love to do because,
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 6: like you said, like the game's going to be the
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 6: game obviously, it's not going to be there forever, and
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to be Price Harper or the baseball
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 6: player forever.
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just you know, and not taking over too that.
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 4: Like your wife isn't number one, But when you're you guys,
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 4: when you get married and you both know what each
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 4: other does, you both essentially understand what you're signing up
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 4: for in this life of professional sports, anybody's career. Then
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 4: when kids come in, it's like with football or baseball
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 4: being like a number one priority when your kids come in,
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 4: you you start, your perspective starts to shift that I
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 4: want fatherhood to be such a number one priority too,
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 4: So it starts to it's so that's a pool from
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 4: you a little bit right in your career, in your sport,
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 4: because you realize how precious those moments are. Oh how
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 4: much I'll give away every single hit. I'll give away
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 4: every single hit just to be able to have my
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 4: kid be successful at baseball. You know what I'm saying, Like,
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 4: if he plays baseball or plays another sport, I hope
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 4: he doesn't play baseball. I have no desire for him
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 4: to play baseball, but like at that moment, like sitting
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 4: over and watching him play or play any sport or
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 4: my daughter or anybody, I will give away every hit,
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 4: every MVP, anything that I've ever done in the game
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 4: for him to have the success.
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 1: You know why, why do you have no desire for
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 1: your kid to play baseball? Is it the all you understand,
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 1: all the pressures that took place that you had.
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 6: I think it's just more of I want him to
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 6: be his own, you know, and I don't want it
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 6: to always be Oh, you're brace Harper's kid, right, You
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, like I want him to have
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 6: success if he wants to play baseball. He loves baseball,
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 6: he does. He loves baseball, hockey, football, like everything right now.
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 6: But and also like I don't want him to get
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 6: so locked in on one thing, you know. I want
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 6: him to be able to just go and do his
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 6: own thing. Like he plays piano right now, and uh,
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 6: he loves it, like he's all about it. But like
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 6: he loves hockey too, you know, like he wants to
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 6: go out there and crush kids, and you know, like
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 6: it is what it is. But I don't know, I
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 6: just want him to kind of make his own decision
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 6: and not think that because dad does it, he has
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 6: to do it, you know, and he's going to a fault,
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 6: like he's going to sit there and go, well, you
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 6: know I want to play.
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 1: Or well yeah, because you're a hero for sure, no doubt. Man,
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 1: that's nice too. He's got piano in his bag. He's
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 1: gonna have some game, no doubt, no doubt.
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 6: Walking into like a hotel being able to play the piano, right, Like,
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 6: wasn't that such a like a crazy thing growing up?
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 1: Though? You were like, bro, you're a band. Yeah, that's
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 1: wrong play piano, piano doing it? Yeah, concerts like I
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 1: did not know he could do. If I'd go back
• 2:21:02
  Speaker 1: in my child and do two things differently, I would
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 1: learn a different language and play an instrument, no doubt.
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 1: If you could do those two things. Got well rounded,
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 1: very well right rounded? Yeah, Midwest dads, you want to
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 1: do what you want to play piano? Hell, no question
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 1: for you.
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 4: What if your son had this similar ability that you
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 4: have and he was at that spot sophomore year of
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 4: high school?
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 6: Oh man, I don't know. I'm really not sure. I mean,
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 6: it would take all of me to try to make
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 6: that decision with him.
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't know.
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 6: I really don't have an answer for you, because I
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 6: mean i'd probably call my dad, yeah you know, and
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 6: like hey, what do you got?
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 1: You know, like what do you think? Like what should
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 1: I do?
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 6: I would never want to give up on my kid,
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 6: like of like, yeah, I don't think you can do this,
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 6: you know, so I'd want to, like, but it's such
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 6: a hard place to be, Like I I've never talked
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 6: to my dad about this actually, Like what like what
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 6: if it would have not gone the way we wanted
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 6: it to? You know, like that would have been like
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 6: crazy to think about, Like he had to have had
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 6: those thoughts with my mom or like people right, like
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 6: I'm never We're making the best decision for him, no doubt,
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 6: Like it's probably, Yeah, that's crazy. I've never thought about.
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 1: That's like four, go high school, right, like put all

• 2:26:50
  Speaker 1: If I was on death row, it would be it
• 2:26:54
  Speaker 1: would be for zips. So yeah, zips. The origin of
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 1: zips is Goldies is a it's right to a bunch
• 2:27:00
  Speaker 1: of baseball diamonds in Arizona. You would love that. You

• 2:27:04
  Speaker 1: don't know where the Goldies is? No, no, No, it's
• 2:27:08
  Speaker 1: not that area. But Zip's just there's sixteen locations of
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 1: zips and recently just they just got raided by Homeland
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 1: Security because they're allegedly forging social security Not that's not important. Yeah,
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 1: I tell you what, if they let me, I'll get it.
• 2:27:22
  Speaker 1: I'll get a team together right away. But zips, dude,
• 2:27:25
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a classic sports bar. You
• 2:27:27
  Speaker 1: can go there, play shuffle board, do all the things.
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 1: But you're gonna go, You're gonna walk in, You're gonna
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 1: tell them I want the Monico Ficasha with extra jalapeno
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 1: dipping sauce half and half with the onion rings in
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 1: the fries, and then you're gonna get the golden wings, medium,
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 1: extra crispy, extra sauce, extra ranch inside are your rancho
• 2:27:42
  Speaker 1: blue cheese branch. That that was a test. That meal, buddy,
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, like, one of the best best moments
• 2:27:50
  Speaker 1: of my life. That picture doesn't even do it justice.
• 2:27:52
  Speaker 1: That that does it. That's a that's the ficasha. And
• 2:27:54
  Speaker 1: that's not the Monaco. That's not for Kasha. That's a fikasha.
• 2:27:58
  Speaker 1: It's like the bar food type f kasha. It's a
• 2:28:00
  Speaker 1: bar for kasha. Not the white tablecloth. There's there's like
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 1: there's your right frstend, need your eyes, there's your monica
• 2:28:07
  Speaker 1: right there. That's that's the one, buddy, you eat that
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 1: looks like all right. The fear I have is you
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 1: paying it as the greatest meal of all time. And
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 1: he might go at some point it's you have to
• 2:28:22
  Speaker 1: go the one on uh Via Linda and Hayden. You
• 2:28:25
  Speaker 1: go to that one, You're you're not going to be
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 1: disappointed at all. But one of my favorite moments was
• 2:28:31
  Speaker 1: all the boys we went out to Arizona and what
• 2:28:33
  Speaker 1: we did was at super Bowl the spring. I thought
• 2:28:35
  Speaker 1: it was a spring game a state And I'm like,
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 1: I've been talking to Zips way more than I even
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 1: have on this podcast. And we go there and all
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 1: the boys were like, we understand the hype. They elite.
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 1: What fucking there he is? I've always been there, I've
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 1: never left. You've used different different verbions. Elite I've been
• 2:28:55
  Speaker 1: used in a while, but it is. He's correct, it's elite.
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 6: Get his I don't know about.
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 1: Because I'm not a leade anymore. So oh yeah, hey,
• 2:29:08
  Speaker 1: what the fuck?
• 2:29:10
  Speaker 6: I don't know?
• 2:29:11
  Speaker 1: Was that the GM? It's a good word, right there?
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 1: Was it the GM that said that the president? The
• 2:29:16
  Speaker 1: President comes on, he does a press conference, he says
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 1: Bryce is no longer an elite player. Yeah it is.
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, what are you gonna do well so you
• 2:29:24
  Speaker 1: can instead of good? Yeah, but stay great instead of good.
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 1: It's something like that.
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 4: But that feels like it's like unheard of for anybody
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 4: that high a level to come on kind of talk
• 2:29:32
  Speaker 4: about a player like that.
• 2:29:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
• 2:29:33
  Speaker 6: I don't think it's I think there's things within the
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 6: organization that you probably shouldn't say in an outward like expression, right,
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 6: like if you if I had a problem with you,
• 2:29:40
  Speaker 6: I probably you know, if you were on my team,
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 6: I probably bring you to the side and talk to you.
• 2:29:45
  Speaker 6: And so I think that was one thing when I
• 2:29:47
  Speaker 6: signed there was like hey, like we don't say anything
• 2:29:50
  Speaker 6: about the organization outwardly or anything else, like make sure
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 6: it's behind the door, closed doors, and if you have
• 2:29:56
  Speaker 6: a problem, like we'll talk about us. Keep a family,
• 2:29:58
  Speaker 6: no doubt. And so I think that's the kind of
• 2:30:00
  Speaker 6: where it rubbed me the wrong way a little bit
• 2:30:02
  Speaker 6: with that kind of stuff. Like I respect Dave and
• 2:30:04
  Speaker 6: everything that he's done in the game and everything else
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 6: he's created, his job and stuff. But you know, I
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 6: think for me personally, like if you have a problem,
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 6: like you know, you can talk to me and have
• 2:30:15
  Speaker 6: an issue with it, like the way I'm playing or whatever,
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 6: Like it's not going to motivate me. Like that's the thing,
• 2:30:19
  Speaker 6: Like anything that people say like that, like that doesn't
• 2:30:21
  Speaker 6: motivate me.
• 2:30:22
  Speaker 4: Like kind of just like, but that kind of transparency
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 4: is always helpful like within the relationship.
• 2:30:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, like knowing, you know, just us being on
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 1: the same page. You're doing like exit interviews or something
• 2:30:30
  Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, like hey, where do I stand? Like
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 1: hay this, Yeah, that's how we're evaluating you right now.
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 1: It's going to change your mind.
• 2:30:36
  Speaker 6: And I don't even have exit interviews, you know what
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 6: I'm saying, Like it's it's something in baseball, like I mean,
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 6: some guys might have him, but we don't. But like again,
• 2:30:42
  Speaker 6: like if he had something like that to say, like
• 2:30:43
  Speaker 6: obviously I want him to say it to me.
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 1: I assume he has your phone number. Yeah, okay, so
• 2:30:48
  Speaker 1: that's probably that probably a good way to do.
• 2:30:50
  Speaker 6: I think the tough part is like it's just a
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 6: story that doesn't need to be out there. So like
• 2:30:53
  Speaker 6: when we get to spring training, it's gonna be a story,
• 2:30:54
  Speaker 6: Like people are gonna talk to me about it, people
• 2:30:56
  Speaker 6: are gonna ask me about It's just like it doesn't
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 6: need to be a story, Like there's no there's.
• 2:31:01
  Speaker 1: That boy I do like a good rip, a good rip.
• 2:31:06
  Speaker 6: But like I think that's the thing, Like you don't
• 2:31:08
  Speaker 6: want stories like that in spring Like you don't want
• 2:31:10
  Speaker 6: that to be right when you get there, Like, hey,
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 6: what do you think you know?
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 1: Like great, this is what I have to answer. Besides,
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 1: everyone's got their opinion onward yeah, exactly where were you
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 1: when this took place?
• 2:31:19
  Speaker 4: I assume you just found out like everybody else or
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 4: somebody might sent you a link.
• 2:31:23
  Speaker 1: Where did I see this? I don't know.
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 6: I can't even remember. I was just shocked more than anything.
• 2:31:30
  Speaker 6: I was just like, that's that's kind of wild. It's
• 2:31:33
  Speaker 6: a wild take. Yeah, you know, have you Obviously I
• 2:31:36
  Speaker 6: didn't have the greatest postseason or like the year that
• 2:31:38
  Speaker 6: I wanted to have. But if they want to talk
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 6: about like you know, what stats mean or anything else,
• 2:31:47
  Speaker 6: like they have their numbers, like they know where I'm at,
• 2:31:49
  Speaker 6: like number wise for you know, the tier of the
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 6: league and stuff like that, like it's still there, you know.
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 4: So was there any beef with you guys like throughout
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 4: the season to where it could have led them saying that.
• 2:32:00
  Speaker 6: No, No, I think that's like that's the thing. Like
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 6: I have a relationship with you know, Dave, So it
• 2:32:05
  Speaker 6: was just like kind of weird you know for him
• 2:32:07
  Speaker 6: to even oh, yeah, sure that way, you know. So
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 6: it was just shocked.
• 2:32:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes you wonder like what would make will
• 2:32:12
  Speaker 1: go through his mind and he's like, yeah, this is
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 1: the this is the appropriate time to bring up a
• 2:32:15
  Speaker 1: comment like this.
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean again, like obviously we didn't have the
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 6: postseason we wanted to. We got beat and didn't in
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 6: the way we wanted to. And I know all those
• 2:32:24
  Speaker 6: things like and if you want to blame somebody, I
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 6: don't mind you blaming me, like I didn't play well,
• 2:32:28
  Speaker 6: you know, like I didn't have my best series, And
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 6: I'm totally fine taking the blame for anything that happens,
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 6: like it comes with you know, the territory and things
• 2:32:36
  Speaker 6: like that. But things like that just don't motivate me
• 2:32:39
  Speaker 6: to extent, Like you know, I know I need to
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 6: be better, right, you know what I'm saying, Like I
• 2:32:43
  Speaker 6: get that, Like I need to have a great year
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 6: this year, and I plan to do that, Like I
• 2:32:47
  Speaker 6: don't plan to not have a great year.
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 1: So we'll see where where does your mind go when
• 2:32:53
  Speaker 1: people like obviously people reference baseball is a game of failure,
• 2:32:56
  Speaker 1: like if you hit three out of ten, like you're
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 1: you're an all star, you're a stud. When you get
• 2:33:00
  Speaker 1: into these situations where you maybe don't have the best
• 2:33:02
  Speaker 1: year and you know you have to have a great
• 2:33:04
  Speaker 1: year this year, maybe it doesn't start the way you want,
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 1: Like what is the superstition like, how do you get
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 1: yourself out of those mental funks?
• 2:33:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, my dad always says, it's a season for a reason, right, Like,
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 6: you play the full season, you have six or seven
• 2:33:15
  Speaker 6: months of baseball, and so if you have one bad month,
• 2:33:19
  Speaker 6: it doesn't really mean anything in baseball, right Like, you
• 2:33:22
  Speaker 6: have five more months to be great. The years that
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 6: I won the MVP, I didn't have a really good
• 2:33:27
  Speaker 6: you know, month and a half or you know, I
• 2:33:29
  Speaker 6: lost out on two months or something, and then bang,
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 6: I bang for four months and I'm the hottest player
• 2:33:34
  Speaker 6: in the world and best player in the world, and
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 6: there's the MVP.
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 2:33:37
  Speaker 6: So I think just having a plan for yourself, understanding
• 2:33:40
  Speaker 6: like what works for you. You're not gonna feel great
• 2:33:42
  Speaker 6: every day. But Dustin PERDROI all you used to stay too,
• 2:33:45
  Speaker 6: like you rake, like any given day like you rake,
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 6: and raking means like you're the best hitter on the planet.
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like you rake.
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 6: So it doesn't matter how you feel in the batter's box,
• 2:33:55
  Speaker 6: doesn't matter, how you feel in the cage, doesn't matter
• 2:33:57
  Speaker 6: anywhere else, like you rake. So just understanding that you're
• 2:33:59
  Speaker 6: really a baseball player, a really good football player or
• 2:34:02
  Speaker 6: you know, anything that you do, like be great at
• 2:34:05
  Speaker 6: it and don't lose that motivation or that confidence to
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 6: be great at it even if you're going through a
• 2:34:09
  Speaker 6: little bit of a lull and staying as even killed
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 6: as you can throughout the whole process of that.
• 2:34:13
  Speaker 4: You know, how hard is it when you're in it,
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 4: when you're reminding yourself you rake or it's a season
• 2:34:18
  Speaker 4: for a reason, and it's you might be in week
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 4: three where you're like fuck, man, like I keep you know,
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to get out of this thing, but it
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 4: seems like it's not coming together right.
• 2:34:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Then you feel good. Then you go out there
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 1: and you're still thinking, like, man, you know, is this
• 2:34:33
  Speaker 1: am I? Who? I think? I am? So little superstitions
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 1: Like when we went to that Cardinals game where I
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 1: threw that first pitch the catcher he had like a
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 1: bat in the corner and I went to grab it,
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 1: and then I think somebody was like you probably you
• 2:34:46
  Speaker 1: probably should ask, And I asked you. I was like, hey,
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 1: can I touch the beaty? Like no, you can't. But
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 1: there's so there's so many like things you have to
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 1: get right or superstitions. I guess but yeah, will question.
• 2:34:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I think for me, like every every day,
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 6: every day you come in, like you can feel good
• 2:35:02
  Speaker 6: or you can feel bad. Like I mean there's days
• 2:35:04
  Speaker 6: where you feel great in the cadri and BP you
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 6: go over four to three punch outs, you know what
• 2:35:07
  Speaker 6: I'm saying. So like there's no there's no get, Like
• 2:35:10
  Speaker 6: you can't buy in so heavily on BP or heavily
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 6: on you know, feeling good. Like I could feel my
• 2:35:16
  Speaker 6: worst and have a great series and get nine hits
• 2:35:20
  Speaker 6: in a series with you know, two homers, and I'm like, dude,
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 6: how did that happen? You know? But you can go
• 2:35:25
  Speaker 6: a good month and a half and then you lose
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 6: it for a week and you're like where'd it go?
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 1: Like what what just happened? Yeah?
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 6: You know, and that's just how baseball works. Like you
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 6: run into some good pitching and you know, you face
• 2:35:35
  Speaker 6: Paul Skins on a Friday and then Jared Jones on
• 2:35:37
  Speaker 6: a Saturday, and then you're facing somebody, you know out
• 2:35:39
  Speaker 6: of the bullpen I left the other a bullpen throwing
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 6: ninety eight two one hundred, and you're like uncle, yeah,
• 2:35:44
  Speaker 6: I'm saying, like what are we doing? Like give me
• 2:35:46
  Speaker 6: the average white ridy that throws ninety one.
• 2:35:48
  Speaker 1: You know, like, what are we doing?
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 4: And I'm talking about that's what we needed.
• 2:35:52
  Speaker 6: To Like jeez, Louise, But like there's so many good
• 2:35:57
  Speaker 6: pictures nowadays, there's so many, you know, different time a
• 2:36:00
  Speaker 6: pitcher's lefties, right he's.
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 1: Throwing a you know, bajillion miles an hour.
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 6: I mean, Raldist Chapman is the fountain of youth right now,
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 6: and he's throwing one hundred and four, one hundred and five,
• 2:36:09
  Speaker 6: Like it's just it's crazy.
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 4: God, what's worse like being in a being in a slump,
• 2:36:17
  Speaker 4: or like making a crucial air that.
• 2:36:19
  Speaker 1: Might lose the game.
• 2:36:21
  Speaker 6: Oh man, I mean the cruiser air sucks because you
• 2:36:24
  Speaker 6: never want to lose a game for your team. But
• 2:36:25
  Speaker 6: if I'm in a slump, I'm probably losing more for
• 2:36:28
  Speaker 6: my team in a slump than I am at first
• 2:36:30
  Speaker 6: base making an air for one game. Does that make sense?
• 2:36:32
  Speaker 6: You know, because I'm not doing my job at the
• 2:36:34
  Speaker 6: bat in the batter's box, that we're probably not doing
• 2:36:36
  Speaker 6: very good as a team. I'm not saying I'm everything
• 2:36:39
  Speaker 6: to this team, but like, if I'm not playing well,
• 2:36:41
  Speaker 6: then that's probably not very good for my team. So
• 2:36:45
  Speaker 6: I'd probably rather make the air then go on a
• 2:36:48
  Speaker 6: prolonged slump because if I'm hitting, we're probably winning a
• 2:36:51
  Speaker 6: little bit more.
• 2:36:51
  Speaker 4: What's the self talk? Like, like, when you're gonna slump?
• 2:36:53
  Speaker 4: Are you just verbally abusing yourself mentally?
• 2:36:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean all the time? God ya?
• 2:36:57
  Speaker 6: I mean for me here and me and Trey Turner
• 2:37:01

• 2:37:03
  Speaker 6: each other and just like should.
• 2:37:04
  Speaker 1: We just go home? This is a stupid like we
• 2:37:07
  Speaker 1: shouldn't do this anymore.
• 2:37:08
  Speaker 6: We're the worst freaking guys on the team.

• 2:37:26
  Speaker 1: are both have a bad game. You're like, we fucking
• 2:37:28

• 2:37:34
  Speaker 1: But is that crazy?
• 2:37:35
  Speaker 6: Like you probably never thought that in high school of
• 2:37:36
  Speaker 6: college high school, I thought this is you know what
• 2:37:39
  Speaker 6: I'm saying he's.
• 2:37:39
  Speaker 1: Ever done in my life.
• 2:37:40
  Speaker 6: So that's how I think to myself, though, I'm like, dude,
• 2:37:43
  Speaker 6: I want to think how I was in high school
• 2:37:44
  Speaker 6: or college, Like I wonder what it's is bliss, Like
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 6: are you kidding me? Like I'm the greatest player in
• 2:37:49
  Speaker 6: the world. There's nobody better than me tonight, Like, no chance,
• 2:37:52
  Speaker 6: this guy's get me out tonight. Now it's like I
• 2:37:55
  Speaker 6: got to face that left thrown out of the pen. Yeah,
• 2:37:58
  Speaker 6: that's he wants.
• 2:37:59
  Speaker 1: The first couple of guys go before you, and you're like, god, damn,
• 2:38:01
  Speaker 1: he's really on right now, he's gonna.
• 2:38:06
  Speaker 6: I'm not gonna swing breaks my bat roll. It's first
• 2:38:08
  Speaker 6: basically back and there.
• 2:38:09
  Speaker 4: I told you guys, when I struggle in college, I
• 2:38:14
  Speaker 4: literally go back to the rival site and watch my
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 4: highlight tapes.
• 2:38:17
  Speaker 1: In high school, I felt like I used to be
• 2:38:20
  Speaker 1: good in college. I move like that again. I never
• 2:38:26
  Speaker 1: stressed in high school. Well, high school was just bad
• 2:38:28
  Speaker 1: until my senior then I was all of a sudden good.
• 2:38:30
  Speaker 1: But like college, I never stressed. I was like, this
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 1: is like when out we're in the NFL. If you
• 2:38:35
  Speaker 1: have a two minute drill and you're an offensive lineman,
• 2:38:37
  Speaker 1: that's when your heart rates the highest, the anxiety is
• 2:38:39
  Speaker 1: the highest, Like you just got to make sure you
• 2:38:41
  Speaker 1: keep your boy alive. When I was in college, when
• 2:38:43
  Speaker 1: you have a two manye drum, I'm like, oh, I'm
• 2:38:44
  Speaker 1: about to get all pluses on this right now. It's
• 2:38:46
  Speaker 1: not like this is just going to add to my
• 2:38:48
  Speaker 1: grade tomorrow. And then you go in a couple of
• 2:38:51
  Speaker 1: spin moves having by Whitney Merciless, and you're like, how
• 2:38:53
  Speaker 1: the fuck do I ever If a man puts another
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 1: spin move on me, I'm done. I'm dead. It's just crazy, man,
• 2:39:00
  Speaker 1: It's crazy wild.
• 2:39:01
  Speaker 6: It's the mental part is it's wild. And like guys
• 2:39:03
  Speaker 6: that can kind of get through the mental like mental
• 2:39:05
  Speaker 6: grind of the of the year, of the game or
• 2:39:07
  Speaker 6: anything like those are the guys that you see that
• 2:39:09
  Speaker 6: are at the top because you know, like baseball, man,
• 2:39:12
  Speaker 6: it's it goes down here quick, you know, and it's
• 2:39:15
  Speaker 6: like quick to I mean, it's it's like Shane Falco said,
• 2:39:18
  Speaker 6: and the replacements more and more you try to climb
• 2:39:20
  Speaker 6: out a quick stand, bro, the dep you go.
• 2:39:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it was a great movie. It was awesome. Yeah,
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it was a phenomenal scene. No, I mean
• 2:39:27
  Speaker 1: just the replacements as that little giants and replacements, So
• 2:39:31
  Speaker 1: that happened on this show. I know I must not
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 1: have caught the replacement. That's crazy. You know me for
• 2:39:39
  Speaker 1: eight years.
• 2:39:40
  Speaker 6: Shane Falco man, Ohio State.
• 2:39:44
  Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's wide and watch State. Have you ever
• 2:39:47
  Speaker 1: been around a guy that like doesn't worry about a thing.
• 2:39:50
  Speaker 1: I've been around players that like are stress free, and
• 2:39:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like.
• 2:39:53
  Speaker 6: How, yes, I think that's so show?
• 2:39:56
  Speaker 4: I do man, anybody that like in college, I remember
• 2:40:01
  Speaker 4: Rex burke Head. It always felt like he kept himself
• 2:40:03
  Speaker 4: so poised where I feel like there's mental warfare happening
• 2:40:07
  Speaker 4: in my head.
• 2:40:07
  Speaker 6: Shout out to you. He won me a fantasy league
• 2:40:11
  Speaker 6: on a uh on a uh whatever on the what's
• 2:40:16
  Speaker 6: it called when.
• 2:40:16
  Speaker 1: You fancy football? Yeah? But uh ppr no, that's she's
• 2:40:21
  Speaker 1: the championship.
• 2:40:22
  Speaker 6: I sound like an idiot. It's okay, okay, eleventh or
• 2:40:29
  Speaker 6: twelfth week for the Texas. He put up like fifty
• 2:40:32
  Speaker 6: points back to back weeks.
• 2:40:35
  Speaker 4: But I always felt like he always kept himself so poised,
• 2:40:38
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, hey, is there anything that you do?
• 2:40:39
  Speaker 4: And he ended up giving me this book called The
• 2:40:40
  Speaker 4: Mental Age by Kenneth Bam. He's like, read this, and
• 2:40:43
  Speaker 4: I will say reading that book, it was a whole
• 2:40:45
  Speaker 4: different perspective. It's like four Agreements or the Fifth Agreement,
• 2:40:48
  Speaker 4: where you just have this whole new perspective on using
• 2:40:52
  Speaker 4: your brain as something that could be an advantage or
• 2:40:54
  Speaker 4: helping you versus how you learn about yourself where you
• 2:40:57
  Speaker 4: just talk to your you talk down or you have
• 2:40:59
  Speaker 4: so much doubt to compartmentalize. And it kind of just
• 2:41:02
  Speaker 4: opened my mind up. But Rex was a guy I
• 2:41:04
  Speaker 4: always saw himself the way he carried himself. I'm like,
• 2:41:07
  Speaker 4: what does this guy fucking have? Like I need whatever.
• 2:41:09
  Speaker 1: It seems like he's posturing to me, but it seems real.
• 2:41:12
  Speaker 1: I always think with the Trent Williams store, you tell
• 2:41:14
  Speaker 1: and now he's sitting.
• 2:41:15
  Speaker 4: There, But that's the guy who had the same the
• 2:41:17
  Speaker 4: same mental that you had in uh like college and
• 2:41:20
  Speaker 4: high school.
• 2:41:20
  Speaker 1: Like he just still had that. That's what I'm saying, Like,
• 2:41:23
  Speaker 1: guys guys have that, Like Trent Williams when he goes
• 2:41:27
  Speaker 1: to a game, he's like, man, I'm a ball today,
• 2:41:29
  Speaker 1: And I was always like, I hope I don't get
• 2:41:30
  Speaker 1: found out today. Yeah, he was a dude. That just
• 2:41:33
  Speaker 1: was he was so dominant.
• 2:41:35
  Speaker 4: Tailor's referring to a time after practice for me and
• 2:41:37
  Speaker 4: Logan Paulson, a couple of white tryards are just like
• 2:41:39
  Speaker 4: fuck man like injuries. You just talk about practice being
• 2:41:42
  Speaker 4: tough and everything else.
• 2:41:43
  Speaker 6: It's the original exciting whites, Yeah, original Aogs and Trent
• 2:41:48
  Speaker 6: came and sat down and he was kind of participating
• 2:41:50
  Speaker 6: in the conversation.
• 2:41:51
  Speaker 4: He's like, man, I'll be honest, I'm just waiting for
• 2:41:53
  Speaker 4: a day that somebody walks walks in those doors and
• 2:41:55
  Speaker 4: challenges me at practice. And he said in a way
• 2:41:57
  Speaker 4: of not like us laughing or being arrogant, he said
• 2:42:00
  Speaker 4: so innocently, where it's like that dude just has the right.
• 2:42:03
  Speaker 1: And did he say it right in front of Brian A. Rackpo,
• 2:42:04
  Speaker 1: who we go get those against every day. Yeah, yeah, right.
• 2:42:08
  Speaker 6: But I think that's I think that's how you came
• 2:42:09
  Speaker 6: up too, Like that's how like the people that around
• 2:42:11
  Speaker 6: you to kind of put you in that like in
• 2:42:13
  Speaker 6: that light. And then like, I mean, I don't know,
• 2:42:15
  Speaker 6: my dad did such a good job of like building
• 2:42:17
  Speaker 6: my confidence, like unbelievable job of building my confidence, and
• 2:42:21
  Speaker 6: so I think it's kind of just carried over to
• 2:42:22
  Speaker 6: where I am today. Like I feel that way when
• 2:42:25
  Speaker 6: I walk into the clubhouse every day, like nobody's better
• 2:42:27
  Speaker 6: than me obviously, like when you're going through this, you know,
• 2:42:29
  Speaker 6: through a funk or anything else, like it sucks, but
• 2:42:33
  Speaker 6: at the end of the day, like when I walk
• 2:42:34
  Speaker 6: out on that field, like my name's still my name. Yeah, right,
• 2:42:38
  Speaker 6: Like you know what I'm saying. There's a guy that
• 2:42:39
  Speaker 6: always says that before we walk out on the field.
• 2:42:41
  Speaker 6: He's always like, hey, remember your name is still your name,
• 2:42:44
  Speaker 6: and so like that's the thing that I always think
• 2:42:46
  Speaker 6: to myself, like, man, you're right, like your name is
• 2:42:48
  Speaker 6: still your name is you're walking out on the field.
• 2:42:51
  Speaker 1: Dad, what are some things your dad would do? It's
• 2:42:54
  Speaker 1: still a type of confidence in you.
• 2:42:57
  Speaker 6: I mean for me, like this is this might sound weird,
• 2:42:59
  Speaker 6: but like he would always buy the best baseballs. Like
• 2:43:02
  Speaker 6: I grew up in you know, lower middle class, like
• 2:43:04
  Speaker 6: we could afford pearls all the time, but like he
• 2:43:07
  Speaker 6: would always go out and get like the best baseball.
• 2:43:09
  Speaker 6: So when I'm hitting, balls would fly, and so the
• 2:43:13
  Speaker 6: confidence there, like you know, i'd hit on a He
• 2:43:15
  Speaker 6: would always tell me when I was younger, I'd go
• 2:43:17
  Speaker 6: to you know, hit on a baseball field and be like, oh, yeah,
• 2:43:19
  Speaker 6: this is only like two hundred and fifty feet, like,
• 2:43:21
  Speaker 6: don't even worry about it.
• 2:43:21
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, all right, like whatever.
• 2:43:23
  Speaker 6: He'd be like a three hundred foot fence and I'm
• 2:43:24
  Speaker 6: hitting balls over it at like, you know, eleven years old,
• 2:43:27
  Speaker 6: and I'm like, dude, this is nuts. And my dad
• 2:43:29
  Speaker 6: would be like, hey, today, that actually was a three
• 2:43:30
  Speaker 6: hundred foot fence, and so like he would always like
• 2:43:34
  Speaker 6: give me that demeanor and I'd be like, are you seriously,
• 2:43:35
  Speaker 6: But yeah, like this is what we do, you know
• 2:43:38
  Speaker 6: what I'm saying. So, like, I mean, we did so
• 2:43:40
  Speaker 6: much stuff.
• 2:43:40
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 2:43:40
  Speaker 6: He was such a good just you know, I don't know,
• 2:43:45
  Speaker 6: he just he did such a good job of kind
• 2:43:46
  Speaker 6: of motivating me and my you know, my brother and
• 2:43:48
  Speaker 6: my sister as well. And he grew up tough man,
• 2:43:51
  Speaker 6: and so for him to be able to go right
• 2:43:53
  Speaker 6: where my grandpa went and left like was pretty incredible.
• 2:43:56
  Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, just really really good motivator and
• 2:44:00
  Speaker 1: all that he did too.
• 2:44:01
  Speaker 6: Like i mean he ran job sites of over a
• 2:44:04
  Speaker 6: you know, five hundred guys and did a great job
• 2:44:06
  Speaker 6: doing that and was able to just like he was
• 2:44:08
  Speaker 6: a builder of men in that in that type of work.
• 2:44:12
  Speaker 6: H you know, he'd get eighteen nineteen year old guys
• 2:44:13
  Speaker 6: in there with him. He'd have to build them and
• 2:44:15
  Speaker 6: they loved him, you know, just because you know the
• 2:44:17
  Speaker 6: way he was so and he did that as a
• 2:44:20
  Speaker 6: dad too.

• 2:44:42
  Speaker 1: asked like, how do you feel about representing America? That's
• 2:44:45
  Speaker 1: and the way they answered the question was like because
• 2:44:47
  Speaker 1: of the stuff happening in America, like it feels weird
• 2:44:49
  Speaker 1: to wear the flag and just that patriot. Me was like, hey,
• 2:44:54
  Speaker 1: I know there's stuff going on that we're not all

• 2:45:08
  Speaker 6: or people don't believe in or whatever, right, like politics aside.

• 2:45:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's things that you guys have arguments about.
• 2:45:34
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you're like, I wish she did this different. I
• 2:45:36
  Speaker 1: wish she probably thinks that about you. It's like we all,
• 2:45:38
  Speaker 1: like in a relationship, want different things sometimes, like and
• 2:45:42
  Speaker 1: the same thing goes through your country. Like there's things
• 2:45:43
  Speaker 1: that happen in America that I'm not like super fired
• 2:45:46
  Speaker 1: up about. But I still love America for sure. I

  Speaker 1: But I don't think have you ever put your hands
• 2:47:47
  Speaker 1: on a torpedo bat. Yeah, and you've swung it and
• 2:47:50
  Speaker 1: it's not like it doesn't strike as much as you
• 2:47:51
  Speaker 1: think what you struck struck out.
• 2:47:57
  Speaker 6: Piece of ship isn't it crazy to think, like, in
• 2:48:00
  Speaker 6: the next six years, I could strike out twelve hundred times.
• 2:48:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's nuts. With a torpedo bat, it'd be
• 2:48:06
  Speaker 1: like four.
• 2:48:06
  Speaker 6: Like I hope it's not that because I'd be crazy,
• 2:48:08
  Speaker 6: But like, it's like if I could strike out a
• 2:48:10
  Speaker 6: thousand more times in my career, how.
• 2:48:12
  Speaker 1: Many bats would be over the next however many years
• 2:48:14
  Speaker 1: you just said.
• 2:48:18
  Speaker 6: So you do the mass six hundred, six hundred times
• 2:48:21
  Speaker 6: six right, Yeah somewhere in there probably, Yeah.
• 2:48:26
  Speaker 1: Th bats and still be a beast.
• 2:48:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, strike out a thousand times?
• 2:48:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe? So we don't like the torpedo bat.
• 2:48:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, just not into it. I like I like the
• 2:48:35
  Speaker 6: Model I swing, the Model ice Wing, the Model I
• 2:48:38
  Speaker 6: swing like the bat.
• 2:48:39
  Speaker 1: Model got you the ice wing? Yeah? How about the
• 2:48:44
  Speaker 1: old tp.
• 2:48:45
  Speaker 6: X bro Hey, I used the Demerini Voodoo but nice. Yeah,
• 2:48:50
  Speaker 6: but I grew up using like the Omaha Gold Yeah,
• 2:48:52
  Speaker 6: and then like the uh trying to think of the
• 2:48:54
  Speaker 6: air response air Gen one X yeah, and then I
• 2:48:56
  Speaker 6: switched to double wall back them any.
• 2:49:00
  Speaker 8: Which one we were using for the five hundred foot
• 2:49:03
  Speaker 8: home run in high school? That and is that true
• 2:49:04
  Speaker 8: because you've never hit one that five hundred in the MLB. Yeah, no,
• 2:49:09
  Speaker 8: I'm saying, is it true that you never not happened?
• 2:49:20
  Speaker 8: You've literally never Philly a piece of ship.
• 2:49:25
  Speaker 4: The next questions even worse, what is you actually hit
• 2:49:29
  Speaker 4: five hundred feet or is that just kind of fading
• 2:49:31
  Speaker 4: because you're in the MLB and you've never done that.
• 2:49:34
  Speaker 6: Because the metal bat is like, yeah, it's different, that's
• 2:49:38
  Speaker 6: that's the de mariniy voodoo. Actually, but yeah, I mean
• 2:49:42
  Speaker 6: I hit it pretty far fet this one. They said
• 2:49:46
  Speaker 6: it wasn't it was on like like the track man
• 2:49:48
  Speaker 6: stuff that they use now. So that was like five
• 2:49:50
  Speaker 6: o four.
• 2:49:51
  Speaker 1: I think that's that one right there. We're watching right now.
• 2:49:54
  Speaker 1: But I don't know.
• 2:49:55
  Speaker 6: I always had a coach that said, it's not how far,
• 2:49:57
  Speaker 6: it's how many.
• 2:49:58
  Speaker 1: M hey a bar I go the way you want
• 2:50:02
  Speaker 1: to clump? Yeah, well, outside of my drumb outside of
• 2:50:05
  Speaker 1: my terrible question, what's the meanest thing a Philly fan
• 2:50:07
  Speaker 1: has ever said to you? That you remember?
• 2:50:09
  Speaker 6: You walked away?
• 2:50:10
  Speaker 1: Like what the fuck? Man?
• 2:50:11
  Speaker 6: Like, the meanest thing of Philly fans said had been
• 2:50:14
  Speaker 6: early in my career, so I probably don't remember. Actually yeah,
• 2:50:20
  Speaker 6: I don't really remember.
• 2:50:21
  Speaker 4: He blocks out the noise Yeah, who's one of the
• 2:50:24
  Speaker 4: who's one of the best trash talkers you came across
• 2:50:27
  Speaker 4: in the MLB?
• 2:50:27
  Speaker 6: It's a great question trash talkers. Hum, I don't know,
• 2:50:34
  Speaker 6: it's so weird in baseball man, Like they don't really
• 2:50:37
  Speaker 6: like you can't really like talk from across the dugouts.
• 2:50:40
  Speaker 1: Like it's kind of just like, you know what I'm saying,
• 2:50:42
  Speaker 1: Like you're at first guy hits a single, he's sitting
• 2:50:45
  Speaker 1: over there. Maybe you trip them a little bit.
• 2:50:47
  Speaker 4: Hey, nice shoes, or maybe after a game when you
• 2:50:49
  Speaker 4: shake hands you get a little pat the head comment.
• 2:50:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't do that either. You don't shake hands
• 2:50:54
  Speaker 1: after a game.
• 2:50:55
  Speaker 6: We never did.
• 2:50:56
  Speaker 1: Lost and we've lost the We've lost a sportsmanship in baseball. Man,
• 2:51:03
  Speaker 1: who do you think holds the the best athletes? Oh?
• 2:51:09
  Speaker 6: Man, we're gonna have this conversation right now. We'll pro
• 2:51:11
  Speaker 6: sport baseball. You think so, I mean, can a football
• 2:51:15
  Speaker 6: guy come onto a baseball field.
• 2:51:16
  Speaker 1: And do it on?
• 2:51:17
  Speaker 6: I just decide you think that a football guy can
• 2:51:19
  Speaker 6: come on a baseball field and hit a baseball?
• 2:51:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 2:51:22
  Speaker 6: Really, yeah, we do it.
• 2:51:24
  Speaker 1: We had You want to faceball?
• 2:51:26
  Speaker 6: You want to face Paul Skiings or scooball.
• 2:51:32
  Speaker 1: That's nothing.
• 2:51:32
  Speaker 4: Hey, this is this is a that's will we see
• 2:51:36
  Speaker 4: right there?
• 2:51:39
  Speaker 6: Just make it play and you see the cleague too.
• 2:51:40
  Speaker 6: Like that was when I was like, athletes are we
• 2:51:42
  Speaker 6: talking about? That's what that's So this is the thing,
• 2:51:44
  Speaker 6: like are we talking because the best athletes in the
• 2:51:46
  Speaker 6: world are Olympians?
• 2:51:47
  Speaker 1: Hold On, hold On will show you right now is
• 2:51:50
  Speaker 1: him doing y'all's job. And this man was on practice
• 2:51:53
  Speaker 1: squad his first year in the league, no doubt, no doubt.
• 2:51:56
  Speaker 6: Maybe you should have picked baseball man's better.
• 2:52:00
  Speaker 1: No.
• 2:52:03
  Speaker 6: I think there's always these conversations about like what's the
• 2:52:07
  Speaker 6: hardest sport? And I think baseball is the hardest sport
• 2:52:09
  Speaker 6: to play, and it's not even close, because if Deon's
• 2:52:11
  Speaker 6: think it's even close, Deon Sanders payed both right, Bo Jackson,
• 2:52:14
  Speaker 6: Bo Jackson. But Deon Sanders always says there's nothing harder
• 2:52:17
  Speaker 6: than hitting a baseball, and I really think I don't.
• 2:52:19
  Speaker 6: I don't think there's anything close to hitting a baseball.
• 2:52:22
  Speaker 1: Your argument that you're having right now is not between
• 2:52:24
  Speaker 1: baseball and football or basketball. It's between baseball and hockey.
• 2:52:28
  Speaker 1: That's your argument right now. The hardest to do, like
• 2:52:30
  Speaker 1: the barrier of entry is the hardest.
• 2:52:32
  Speaker 6: So like skating backwards and all that kind of skating.
• 2:52:34
  Speaker 1: Using a stick, like you're you're going from hands to
• 2:52:37
  Speaker 1: now you have an extension of your hands, and that's
• 2:52:39
  Speaker 1: how you have to operate. For sure, he'd be easy, bro, Yeah,
• 2:52:43
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm not, but I'm just trying to
• 2:52:46
  Speaker 1: support you. Say, use this pitch. Let's watch Taylor. You
• 2:52:51
  Speaker 1: tell me this is not hard. I'll tell you that
• 2:52:57
  Speaker 1: chick in the yellow you can go back. She was saying,
• 2:52:59
  Speaker 1: some means, yeah, do this piece of ship to watch
• 2:53:03
  Speaker 1: this pitch.
• 2:53:04
  Speaker 4: This is right after baseball NFL players play.
• 2:53:10
  Speaker 1: Got the pitch? I liked sinker bang bang? You like that?
• 2:53:16
  Speaker 6: Grind up a second?
• 2:53:17
  Speaker 1: You got me? What would you have done with that pitch?
• 2:53:20
  Speaker 6: Probably ground out a second?
• 2:53:27
  Speaker 1: What do you think? What do you?
• 2:53:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, what's the hardest thing to do with football?
• 2:53:31
  Speaker 1: Play every snap?
• 2:53:33
  Speaker 6: You're right.
• 2:53:34
  Speaker 1: You have to have durability, you have to have athletic ability.
• 2:53:36
  Speaker 1: You have every shooting size on the football field. Guys
• 2:53:40
  Speaker 1: have to cover dudes with One guy knows what he's doing,
• 2:53:42
  Speaker 1: the other guy doesn't know. Just has to be reactive.
• 2:53:44
  Speaker 1: Another guy has to put a ball in a place
• 2:53:46
  Speaker 1: that only the guy he wants to catch the ball
• 2:53:48
  Speaker 1: is gonna catch it. I would have to stop these
• 2:53:50
  Speaker 1: guys that are to eighty four percent body fat from
• 2:53:53
  Speaker 1: getting to a quarterback.
• 2:53:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, coming across, I mean coming across, I mean one
• 2:53:57
  Speaker 6: hundred percent.
• 2:53:57
  Speaker 1: Like toughness, coming across the middle running a.
• 2:54:00
  Speaker 6: Four to three and he's two d and eighty five pounds.
• 2:54:02
  Speaker 1: Yea, yeah, you're covering your mirror gibs out of the backfield.
• 2:54:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, come on, man, that one didn't do
• 2:54:08
  Speaker 1: it for you? What that was like? Hitting a baseball
• 2:54:12
  Speaker 1: is hard, Yes, no doubt about it. Field Is it
• 2:54:16
  Speaker 1: that hard?
• 2:54:18
  Speaker 6: Carlos coming and trying to hit a ball one fifty
• 2:54:20
  Speaker 6: at you? You're scared of the baseball? Right?
• 2:54:25
  Speaker 1: Was that was? I mean, like, how many? How many?
• 2:54:32
  Speaker 6: How many times do you think you can get a
• 2:54:33
  Speaker 6: hit in like one hundred at bats against like Jacob
• 2:54:35
  Speaker 6: d Grom one? You really think you can get a
• 2:54:37
  Speaker 6: hit off them in a hundred at bata?
• 2:54:39
  Speaker 1: I think enough? Yeah, about five by Rep ninety five,
• 2:54:43
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I've had enough in the tank here to
• 2:54:45
  Speaker 1: make connection. So the first fifteen those balls going by.
• 2:54:49
  Speaker 6: So fast, I just think I think everybody talks about
• 2:54:51
  Speaker 6: just the heater, right. Everybody always just talks about like
• 2:54:54
  Speaker 6: one o two or like one oh one, Like they're
• 2:54:56
  Speaker 6: not talking about the slider or the change up or
• 2:54:58
  Speaker 6: the curve ball or the one hundred and one our
• 2:55:00
  Speaker 6: cutter that he throws this or that's ninety six miles
• 2:55:03
  Speaker 6: slider that he throws too, or like or like my
• 2:55:06
  Speaker 6: back right now, Zach Wheeler throwing a you know.
• 2:55:09
  Speaker 1: We get it. Did you play baseball.
• 2:55:14
  Speaker 6: To me? Here we go?
• 2:55:20
  Speaker 1: He just starts cooking us without baseball, We get it.
• 2:55:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, I couldn't imagine like guarding a guy obviously,
• 2:55:29
  Speaker 6: like it's just I mean, being out on the edge
• 2:55:31
  Speaker 6: and trying to, you know, get somebody out of the backfield,
• 2:55:33
  Speaker 6: like you know.
• 2:55:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what MLB player you think could play
• 2:55:38
  Speaker 1: in the NFL or get closest to playing in the NFL.
• 2:55:43
  Speaker 6: I mean John Carlos Stanton was an all time California
• 2:55:46
  Speaker 6: wide receiver. What's going to USC? Aaron Judge? Same thing.
• 2:55:52
  Speaker 1: Judge kind of got that he got the I mean JT.
• 2:55:55
  Speaker 6: Realmuto is a quarterback going to Oklahoma State. Archie Bradley
• 2:55:59
  Speaker 6: was a oklahom a guy going to Oklahoma trade and
• 2:56:03
  Speaker 6: it ever plays, So I don't know. I mean I
• 2:56:05
  Speaker 6: feel like trade would get kind of broken in half.
• 2:56:07
  Speaker 1: What's this photo? Is that right?
• 2:56:09
  Speaker 6: No, you're right, I think that's Judge.
• 2:56:11
  Speaker 1: Oh I thought that was Brice in the middle. Damn,
• 2:56:24
  Speaker 1: Oh that's funny. Yeah, okay, get it.
• 2:56:31
  Speaker 6: No, I mean, I I think every sport has something right,
• 2:56:34
  Speaker 6: but like I mean, I think it just depends on
• 2:56:37
  Speaker 6: what you call like athleticism and like who has the
• 2:56:39
  Speaker 6: best athletes or like whatever, like maybe.
• 2:56:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be hard to arguey like what track and field? Right?
• 2:56:43
  Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, Like, so I mean, if
• 2:56:45
  Speaker 6: it's if it's straight down the middle, like what are like,
• 2:56:48
  Speaker 6: if it's if it's how who can run fastest? Who
• 2:56:50
  Speaker 6: can jump the highest, like all that kind of stuff,
• 2:56:52
  Speaker 6: then faster? You know what I'm saying that it's a
• 2:56:54
  Speaker 6: little bit different. Yeah, But like I mean, if gift
• 2:56:57
  Speaker 6: to be an athlete to play baseball, you think, yeah,
• 2:57:00
  Speaker 6: are baseball athletes?
• 2:57:03
  Speaker 4: You have to be an athlete to play baseball? I
• 2:57:04
  Speaker 4: would say no, No, there's some you said cats out there,
• 2:57:10
  Speaker 4: It's like they ain't as far as and I and
• 2:57:13
  Speaker 4: understand playing the game at a very high level.
• 2:57:16
  Speaker 1: The hardest sport to play.
• 2:57:18
  Speaker 4: I would say, it's not like you have to be
• 2:57:21
  Speaker 4: like an all world athlete, the world class type of
• 2:57:23
  Speaker 4: athlete with as far as like genetics and bigger, faster,
• 2:57:26
  Speaker 4: stronger and all that. What is it like it's the
• 2:57:29
  Speaker 4: hardest I would yeah, baseball would say is the hardest
• 2:57:31
  Speaker 4: craft out there. So you agree argue with how Yeah,
• 2:57:35
  Speaker 4: I'm just trying to serve the pot as far as
• 2:57:37
  Speaker 4: like the hardest thing to take into account Again, it's.
• 2:57:42
  Speaker 1: About what about just kidding, like losing.
• 2:57:48
  Speaker 6: Going down the street.
• 2:57:49
  Speaker 1: Look at my man right there losing curling this guy.
• 2:57:53
  Speaker 6: I think that's a chef. That's no, that's doesn't it
• 2:57:56
  Speaker 6: look like Action Bronson?
• 2:57:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a big ass boys with that. Give me your
• 2:58:03
  Speaker 1: ranking of the core for so hockey, Baseball, basketball, Football,
• 2:58:08
  Speaker 1: hardest to easiest.
• 2:58:10
  Speaker 6: Godna get crushed. Baseball is one for me. Okay, Hockey's two,
• 2:58:15
  Speaker 6: Football three, NBA is four.
• 2:58:18
  Speaker 1: Nice. I'll take that.
• 2:58:19
  Speaker 4: I'll take that.
• 2:58:19
  Speaker 1: What do you think I was thinking? It just all
• 2:58:24
  Speaker 1: depends on the argument.
• 2:58:25
  Speaker 6: Well, that's what I'm saying. So like, there's there's so
• 2:58:27
  Speaker 6: many arguments you can have about the sports so like
• 2:58:29
  Speaker 6: running jumping, So like, is there any better athlete? Okay,
• 2:58:33
  Speaker 6: who has the better athletes? NFL or NBA?
• 2:58:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, don't get well cut up on this, but like.
• 2:58:37
  Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying the NFL to But like, okay,
• 2:58:39
  Speaker 6: so are guys in the NBA because they couldn't catch
• 2:58:43
  Speaker 6: or like you know what I'm saying, Like, I mean,
• 2:58:44
  Speaker 6: I don't know, like too.
• 2:58:45
  Speaker 1: So you really think that I think? Yeah?
• 2:58:47
  Speaker 6: So like Lebron like say, one of the greatest, like
• 2:58:49
  Speaker 6: one of the best athletes, right, like speaking just athlete, right,
• 2:58:52
  Speaker 6: like what he was all state football, right, so like
• 2:58:55
  Speaker 6: could he have went and played football at Ohio State
• 2:58:57
  Speaker 6: or like you know what I'm saying, you know, like
• 2:58:59
  Speaker 6: he's outlier.
• 2:59:00
  Speaker 4: I feel like as far as barrier to entry, NBA
• 2:59:03
  Speaker 4: is the hardest because you have to you have to
• 2:59:04
  Speaker 4: just be you have to have some barrier of entry.
• 2:59:07
  Speaker 1: Basketball is the easiest.
• 2:59:08
  Speaker 6: NBA you're saying is the hardest.
• 2:59:10
  Speaker 4: Highest barrier of entries the well you're talk about entry.
• 2:59:12
  Speaker 1: You're talking about entry and ceiling. Entry is like just
• 2:59:15
  Speaker 1: to play the game. It's the easiest game to just
• 2:59:17
  Speaker 1: play from an equipment. I'm talking about getting into the NBA. Oh,
• 2:59:22
  Speaker 1: but also like if I ran on a court right now,
• 2:59:24
  Speaker 1: they put me in a pretzel. Yeah, you know what
• 2:59:26
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, lowist barrier of entries baseball. No point at him.
• 2:59:31
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? More people can play baseball
• 2:59:34
  Speaker 1: the basketball. It's easier to go and play basketball from
• 2:59:37
  Speaker 1: a just an equipment standpoint. How much it costs to
• 2:59:40
  Speaker 1: go do it? How much like harder to find than
• 2:59:44
  Speaker 1: basketball courts?
• 2:59:45
  Speaker 4: Pure numbers you're saying, Yeah.
• 2:59:49
  Speaker 1: The phone, you can tell he's over that. Yeah, no, no, no,
• 2:59:53
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 2:59:54
  Speaker 6: I enjoyed this conversation because I don't, like, I respect
• 2:59:57
  Speaker 6: all athletes, so like I respect everybody that does their
• 2:59:59
  Speaker 6: craft to the right way, but like we never know.
• 3:00:02
  Speaker 6: Like that's why I always go back to Deon Sanders
• 3:00:04
  Speaker 6: or Bo Jackson because Dion and Bo always say that
• 3:00:07
  Speaker 6: baseball is the hardest sport to play and those and those.
• 3:00:11
  Speaker 1: Are two cards, you know what. I'm like, Yeah, those
• 3:00:13
  Speaker 1: are big trump cards.
• 3:00:13
  Speaker 6: And so for me, like what NFL player is going
• 3:00:16
  Speaker 6: to come onto a baseball field and play like and
• 3:00:19
  Speaker 6: be like be really good? Like I feel like I
• 3:00:22
  Speaker 6: could take a baseball player that was an All American.
• 3:00:24
  Speaker 6: It's completely different.
• 3:00:25
  Speaker 1: Game.
• 3:00:26
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying this at all, right, but I understand
• 3:00:28
  Speaker 6: what you're saying though, But like, give him a camp
• 3:00:30
  Speaker 6: or a year to get ready for the NFL, and
• 3:00:32
  Speaker 6: I think he could probably remember how to go play be.
• 3:00:35
  Speaker 1: More successful faster than a football.
• 3:00:36
  Speaker 6: Pure Like you think Aaron Judge can go be a
• 3:00:38
  Speaker 6: tight end at six nine and two hundred and you know,
• 3:00:41
  Speaker 6: seventy five pounds and play right?
• 3:00:44

• 3:02:20
  Speaker 1: I can't say Family World Series. That's the only answer.
• 3:02:25

• 3:02:50
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons sad he'd kiss another man. Yeah, Bryce World
• 3:02:55
  Speaker 1: Series Game seven, you're in there getting ready. Some guy
• 3:02:59
  Speaker 1: to Cloak comes up and he's like, hey, you can win,
• 3:03:02
  Speaker 1: but the only way you're gonna win is if you
• 3:03:03
  Speaker 1: canss this man right here and will pops up.
• 3:03:06
  Speaker 6: For the boys.
• 3:03:10
  Speaker 1: That's how you get it done. This is a great
• 3:03:13
  Speaker 1: It was a great episode. I hope we asked all
• 3:03:15
  Speaker 1: the baseball fans. They're gonna be mad about something. They're
• 3:03:19
  Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna get off this pod there. But I
• 3:03:20
  Speaker 1: got it. Why don't you ask about the salary cap?
• 3:03:22
  Speaker 4: I got Why don't you guys have a salary cap?
• 3:03:25
  Speaker 4: That's kind of crazy. You're kind of the leader of it.
• 3:03:27
  Speaker 1: It's just not gonna happen. It's just no hams a player.
• 3:03:34
  Speaker 1: I'll be fired up that you, Like, we ain't get
• 3:03:37
  Speaker 1: no fucking cap? Yeay cap? Yeah, guys like three thirty
• 3:03:41
  Speaker 1: no cap.
• 3:03:43
  Speaker 6: I just feel like for our game and the way
• 3:03:45
  Speaker 6: our game is going, and how much I always say this,
• 3:03:49
  Speaker 6: like I'd rather be an owner than a player, Like,
• 3:03:52
  Speaker 6: and there's teams lining up like or there's people lining
• 3:03:55
  Speaker 6: up to buy teams, so like we must be doing it. Okay,
• 3:03:58
  Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying like there's so many things
• 3:04:00
  Speaker 6: that like the Rockies were bought for two hundred and
• 3:04:04
  Speaker 6: you know, fifty million dollars or something crazy like that,
• 3:04:06
  Speaker 6: and now they're worth you know, two or three billion,
• 3:04:09
  Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, So like, yeah, teams are
• 3:04:10
  Speaker 6: making money, and obviously, like everybody has down years and
• 3:04:13
  Speaker 6: things like that, but at the end of the day,
• 3:04:15
  Speaker 6: like players need to get compensated the right way for
• 3:04:19
  Speaker 6: the longevity of their career.
• 3:04:21
  Speaker 4: So in a way, you could be saying, like all
• 3:04:24
  Speaker 4: the organizations and people that kind of complain about the
• 3:04:26
  Speaker 4: the separation or the gap, it's like there's owners that
• 3:04:30
  Speaker 4: can be out there if do you want to get
• 3:04:31
  Speaker 4: in this game this way, well, organization can kind of
• 3:04:33
  Speaker 4: approach it.
• 3:04:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what they're doing I think too, Like that's why
• 3:04:36
  Speaker 6: I say the Dodgers always do so good, right, Like
• 3:04:38
  Speaker 6: I'm not I'm not saying like I want to be
• 3:04:42
  Speaker 6: a Dodger, right, like everybody's oh, you know that's crazy. No,
• 3:04:45
  Speaker 6: Like they do it the right way because they draft, well,
• 3:04:49
  Speaker 6: they get guys in their organization that are Dodgers. Like
• 3:04:52
  Speaker 6: there's teams that like you know, like oh yeah, that's
• 3:04:54
  Speaker 6: a cardinal Like he definitely plays like a Cardinal. Oh,
• 3:04:56
  Speaker 6: this guy plays like a Dodger. This guy plays, you know,
• 3:04:58
  Speaker 6: like a Philly. Like there's certain teams and certain individuals
• 3:05:01
  Speaker 6: you get into your organization. You're like, he's going to
• 3:05:02
  Speaker 6: be a guy for us because he matches the mold
• 3:05:04
  Speaker 6: of our team, our city organization.
• 3:05:06
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:05:07
  Speaker 6: And so when the Dodgers go out there and do
• 3:05:09
  Speaker 6: their job, like and yeah, they have more money than everybody,
• 3:05:12
  Speaker 6: Like I get that, but you still have to put
• 3:05:14
  Speaker 6: pin on paper and go out and play like you
• 3:05:16
  Speaker 6: can't just be like, oh, yeah, we're better than everybody, Like, no,
• 3:05:19
  Speaker 6: you still have to go out there and do your
• 3:05:20
  Speaker 6: job and play well and whatever.
• 3:05:23
  Speaker 1: And so for me, like, they still have to show up.
• 3:05:25
  Speaker 1: They have to do their job, and they run it
• 3:05:28
  Speaker 1: the right way.
• 3:05:28
  Speaker 6: They run a business. They're smart, they understand what they
• 3:05:30
  Speaker 6: need to do off the field, on the field, in
• 3:05:32
  Speaker 6: their clubhouse, you know, management, everything, and so.
• 3:05:35
  Speaker 1: They do it the right way.
• 3:05:36
  Speaker 6: And so I don't think they should be reprimanded because
• 3:05:41
  Speaker 6: they go out and spend money more than Colorado or wherever,
• 3:05:44
  Speaker 6: Like they're just I don't know, they do it the
• 3:05:46
  Speaker 6: right way from the ground up, and I think more
• 3:05:48
  Speaker 6: organizations can learn from them how to run their organization
• 3:05:52
  Speaker 6: because they do draft well and they do things the
• 3:05:55
  Speaker 6: right way in their minor league systems that make their
• 3:05:57
  Speaker 6: players great too. You know, they have some random the guy.
• 3:06:00
  Speaker 6: They have some random guy that comes in and throws
• 3:06:02
  Speaker 6: six innings in the postseason like it's nothing, you know
• 3:06:05
  Speaker 6: what I'm saying, Like some guy that was sitting in Arizona.
• 3:06:08
  Speaker 6: I can't remember the guy's name, probably not.
• 3:06:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know. There was a guy that shouldn't find
• 3:06:12
  Speaker 1: that guy's random guy postseason six innings for LA Dodgers.
• 3:06:17
  Speaker 6: I can't remember, No, But seriously, like he was sitting
• 3:06:19
  Speaker 6: in Arizona, he got the call and then came in
• 3:06:21
  Speaker 6: and threw like six shuddy against I don't even know
• 3:06:26
  Speaker 6: who they played in the second round, but they played Milwaukee.
• 3:06:28
  Speaker 6: They played the Brewers in the second round.
• 3:06:30
  Speaker 1: That what it was, Cooper would be the guy. It
• 3:06:33
  Speaker 1: was a Milwaukee Cooper shaking his head. Yet, no, not oral,
• 3:06:39
  Speaker 1: he'll find it. He'll find it.
• 3:06:40
  Speaker 6: No, But I mean he just like he came in
• 3:06:41
  Speaker 6: and just did his job, and it's like, who's this guy?
• 3:06:44
  Speaker 1: And he dominated?
• 3:06:45
  Speaker 6: But like that's that's who the Dodgers are. Yeah, they
• 3:06:47
  Speaker 6: have all these great players, but also they have guys
• 3:06:49
  Speaker 6: like that just come in and.
• 3:06:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they developed, the draft, developed and they signed.
• 3:06:52
  Speaker 6: Exactly you know, so like I can't I can't be
• 3:06:55
  Speaker 6: mad at them.
• 3:06:55
  Speaker 1: For what they do. You you brought up something talking
• 3:06:58
  Speaker 1: about watching a guy play like, oh, that's a Cardinal,
• 3:07:00
  Speaker 1: that's a Philly. Have you ever gotten the title of, Hey,
• 3:07:04
  Speaker 1: this is a guy that plays like this franchise.
• 3:07:06
  Speaker 6: For me, Yeah, I feel like I'm very Philly.
• 3:07:09
  Speaker 1: Very Philly. What makes a Philly guy? You don't know?
• 3:07:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think just hair on fire, hard nos like passionate.
• 3:07:21
  Speaker 1: Blue collar blue collars. Yeah, for sure, happens. How much
• 3:07:28
  Speaker 1: How much longer do you have to play?
• 3:07:30
  Speaker 6: I want to play time like forty two if I can.
• 3:07:33
  Speaker 6: That's like the number I want to get to. I mean,
• 3:07:35
  Speaker 6: I'll at the end of this day, I'll be thirty
• 3:07:36
  Speaker 6: nine and I'll have like a couple more months to
• 3:07:39
  Speaker 6: twenty years. Yeah, so I'd love to get to twenty years.
• 3:07:42
  Speaker 1: Fortunate to get to twenty years. Yeah.
• 3:07:43
  Speaker 4: I think when you when you reflect on your career,
• 3:07:47
  Speaker 4: is there a moment, a decision you made, a conversation
• 3:07:50
  Speaker 4: or situation that happened that you look that you look
• 3:07:52
  Speaker 4: back on and which you would have handled it differently,
• 3:07:55
  Speaker 4: or you felt like I kind of failed in this instance.
• 3:07:57
  Speaker 6: I think for me, growing up, you have to learn
• 3:07:59
  Speaker 6: from what you you do. And so I'm glad everything's
• 3:08:02
  Speaker 6: gone the way it has just because I've learned from
• 3:08:04
  Speaker 6: each situation I've ever put myself in for that kind
• 3:08:06
  Speaker 6: of stuff, like on the field or in the clubhouse
• 3:08:09
  Speaker 6: or anything else. So the decision I make in the
• 3:08:11
  Speaker 6: clubhouse or that I've made prior to being in Philly
• 3:08:15
  Speaker 6: or in Philly or whatever has really helped me go
• 3:08:18
  Speaker 6: this way instead of this way. And so the things
• 3:08:21
  Speaker 6: that I've learned from guys over the years, good and bad,
• 3:08:24
  Speaker 6: has helped me, you know, with guys around me or
• 3:08:27
  Speaker 6: given them talks or anything else. Like it's I think
• 3:08:30
  Speaker 6: everything I've done has got me to where I am today.
• 3:08:33
  Speaker 1: So I love that. Yeah, I feel great. This is awesome. Awesome.
• 3:08:38
  Speaker 1: One recommendation for people in Nashville to GOE where would
• 3:08:40
  Speaker 1: you put them on?
• 3:08:45
  Speaker 6: If I had that name of that place yesterday, I
• 3:08:47
  Speaker 6: would say that place really because it's a Mexican spot,
• 3:08:49
  Speaker 6: and like there's not many Mexican spots in Nashville.
• 3:08:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough. The best restaurant you've ever been to
• 3:08:55
