  Here's your host, Alex Garrett. Well, there's nothing like interjecting myself into
• 0:07
  a rain delay, right, And I wasn't eve gonna do a podcast today,
• 0:10
  but just heard this call from Gary Cohen, which is why the Mets
• 0:15
  and Astros are tied at four in the bottom of the ninth in a rain
• 0:19
  delay. Oh two coming and that's driven out to left center field. Back
• 0:24
  in the cap here the Wall time tie the game with his one one hundredth
• 0:30
  career home run, a two run shot for NIM one. The Mets have
• 0:35
  come back to tie at four to four of the seventh. That call courtesy
• 0:45
  of s n Y. That's right, Brandon m o a two run shot
• 0:49
  opposite field Jack his one hundredth, Yes, one hundredth home run of his
• 0:54
  career. Now, I got to talk to him when he was in his
• 0:58
  younger stages as a Met back in twenty seventeen, thanks to doctor Dan Miller's
• 1:03
  recommendation of a press pass and his hook up there with WOX Radio, which
• 1:07
  this aired on. By the way here, Brandon and I talked about the
• 1:12
  mentorship of Curtis Granderson and how yes, back in twenty seventeen, NIMO was
• 1:19
  looking to improve and then of course today he's improved so much. He at
• 1:25
  Homer one hundred. So Brendan, you're starting tonight at part you know,
• 1:29
  you're on the leadoff spot tonight. Yeah, but it's gonna be a line
• 1:30
  up about Curtis. Do I feel about that? And how you feel?
• 1:34
  You know, we all love Curtis, but you know, it's part of
• 1:38
  the business, and so you have to you have to realize that. But
• 1:41
  it's it's something that you know, I think we all just have to go
• 1:45
  about our business the same way. Remember how he went about his kids.
• 1:49
  He was an incredible guy. He really led by example. So just trying
• 1:55
  to you know, keep his work ethic and his humbleness alive. Here now
• 2:00
  even back up for a little while now, So what's it like being back
• 2:01
  up here? And what do you have said? What are you working on?
• 2:05
  You know, just just really having fun and you know, swinging the
• 2:08
  bat, you know, working on the defense. It's it's, you know,
• 2:12
  working on all of it. It's it can all be improved. I
• 2:15
  think of the days to stopped working, those days stop playing, so you
• 2:21
  just keep working on on your whole game, trying to improve it all.
• 2:23
  All right, Brandon, welcome luck the rest of the US the rest of
• 2:24
  the way. We got it, thank you, And honestly, if I
• 2:28
  would talk to him today, I'd say the same thing, because look,
• 2:30
  the Mets are city at forty at forty coming into today, they're one game
• 2:37
  out of a playoff spot. I know it's early and we're hitting July now,
• 2:40
  but yes, good luck to Nemo and the Mets the rest of the
• 2:45
  way. Maybe a glacis his own MG song is really lighting up the city,
• 2:51
  field, fan base and the charts. You know, that song actually
• 2:54
  hit number one on appole iTunes. I was amazed to see that, but
• 3:00
  nonetheless, it was an honor to get to talk to Nimo when he was
• 3:04
  in his rookie years and now to see him hit homer one hundred. Yeah,
• 3:07
  I wasn't there, but to see the highlight pretty freaking cool. And
• 3:13
  again, Brandon, if you see this when I tag it, thanks for
• 3:15
  joining the Alex Garrett podcast network. And yes, let's do an updated version
• 3:20
  of that sometime this year. How cool would that be. Meanwhile, we're
• 3:25
  still in a rain delay, Mets astros posting this now so we can all
• 3:30
  focus on the game once it resumes. It'll be the bottom of the ninth
• 3:34
  Astros against the Mets. Mets up last leks hoping for that winning run and
• 3:38
  actually and actually to take two out of three against the Astros. How wild
• 3:46
  would that be? Stay tuned on the Alex Garrett Podcast Network.
