  Speaker 4: It was great. So that was their first I think
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: that was their first.

  Speaker 3: Now your first in person Ozzy experience for more than
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: like a five minute interaction.

  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: I was telling him.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I was like this, we got this for one hundred
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: and sixty two plus springs, so like two hundred days
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: a year of this every single day.
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: He's like, Wow, dominates any room that he's in.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, my favorite. My favorite thing last night is someone
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: asked AJ a question and then she walks up, she
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: goes a, J I have a question for you, and
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I have a question for Ozzie and We're like, okay, great.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: She asked aj the question and I blink and Ozzie's
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: talking for like twenty minutes, and I was like, was
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: this question for you? And He's like, I don't know, man,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: just sweat him.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: Do the things you're so used to it.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm so used to.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: But I told Davis when he originally agreed to do this,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I go, Ozzie beyond, don't worry. I'll make it easy
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: for us because all you do is just let him go,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: and he'll just go and go and go. And it
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: doesn't like they could be like, Davis, man, you're off
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: to an unbelievable start this year. How are things going on?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Ozzie be like, man, Sean berker pis great today and done.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Go back in two thousand and seven we did this
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: and then oh yeah, and then David's like, yeah, thanks,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I'm doing well, thank you. It's like one boint Davis
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: got up to use the restroom and I.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Was like, man, that was good time as well.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I knew Ozzie got asked a question, so I had
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: plenty of time to go down and come back.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: So it's probably still talking about that, all right, So
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we're actually going to put you on the spot here
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: for the next ten minutes, Davis. So let's start with
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: an easy topic that I think needs to be talked
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: about more and more. Give us everything we need to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: know about Morikami right now. What you're seeing on the field,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: what he's like off the field, how he's getting acclimated
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to the culture here too, which for some players can
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: be very difficult, whether it's a player going from here
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: overseas to Japan or vice versa.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: Give us everything you've witnessed.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think first off, on the field,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: like you can see everything that he's capable of, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I think the most impressive thing I think I've seen
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: is that just his takes. You know, obviously he's walking
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a lot. I think that's a big thing. Coming over.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: It's just like the amount of stuff that you have,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: not only from your front end starters, but you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you can have your fourth, fifth guy out of the bullpen,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: you know, having higher average felow than he's probably seen,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: probably has better breaking stuff than he's probably seen. But
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: his command of the plate, it's been great. And when
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: he's pitches to hit, he's crushed him, which has been awesome.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: And for a personality standpoint, I feel like he slides
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: right in. I mean, I'm happy where our culture is
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: at right now and where he's coming into it, because
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: i feel like he's kind of just accepted it and
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: just rolled right into it and as one of the guys.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And you know, I'm also very impressed with his his
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: overall work ethic. I mean, I told AJ last night,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I mean he's he gets to the field before anybody.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I mean he's he's basically doing something for about you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: from time he shows up to time he leaves, he's
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: either working out, mobility, strength training, stretching, you know, getting prepped,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: getting ready to go hitting, cage work, you know, all
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: that stuff. Like he is very is very rare to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: see Moonit sitting at his locker by himself doing nothing.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: He's always on the move. He's always trying to get
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: one step better, and it's kind of like leaked into
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: everybody else saying like, all right, this is our best guy.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You know, the other day he laid out, you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: for a ground ball at first base to try to
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: get on base. And so when your guy that's getting paid,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: you know how much he's getting paid right now, is
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: leading by example like that. It's it's really easy for
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: everybody to follow Davis.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Let's let's not forget the most important part about Mooney
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: coming to Chicago, the Japanese.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Toilets he bought.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Not only did they so I found this out last night.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: We had this whole conversation.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: They didn't just get one Japanese toilet, they got like
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: five of them. They put them in every single stall
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: so that not just Mooney could enjoy them, the whole
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: team got to enjoy them. So that's the most important.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: We originally thought we were gonna have like Mooney's toilet
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and then like toilet you know, two, three, four, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: everybody's just gonna fight over that one single today. But yeah,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: we walked in and we got all four of them,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and yeah, it's pretty sick. You walk in, open the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: door toilets he just opens up. He did seep. I mean,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: it's the show, bab, this is nice s.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Life changing, slafe changing. Can you get Bob Beckdall off
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: the toilet?
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: That is the question. Hey, yeah, Bob was actually chirping
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: you a little bit. He's like, you got aj here,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and then there's a video picture of you running away
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: from the Cubs catcher and Scott Segment's doing something. This
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: is Bob's word. It's not a lot of stuff going
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: on and a lot of Look for a bobble head
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: over there. I couldn't find one. But yeah, it's just
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of aj going around here.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: You know, we some of us used to be something, Davis,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: you know, someone was and now some of us are something.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I asked you guys this last night.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: It was Sean and you, and Sean pitched unbelievable yesterday,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: seven to third, three hits, no runs, pitched amazing, but
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: he had the opener for him, and then you talked
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: about how you had an opener last year but you
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: don't have an opener this year.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Can you explain how that process works?
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Obviously a lot of the people watching now weren't on
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the cruise last night, but how that process works, and
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: if it changes your pregame routine or anything that you
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: change when you go into the game.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the process in general is just the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: idea of that you know, you can face that top
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: of the order one last time, whether that be you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: a heavy dominant left handed hitter start where it's lefty, lefty,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: lefty and we have bad splits, or let's say it's uh,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: you know, to switch hitters, like for example, like the
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Perdomo and the you know, tel Marte for example, Like
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: if they're better right handed than left handed, like we
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: can kind of pin those guys and have them have
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: one less ab on their stronger side. And that's kind
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: of a thought process behind it for me personally, Like
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: it doesn't bother me too much. I'm like, I think
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: my average pitches before a game is like thirteen to fifteen.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Like I don't take very long to get ready, so
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: kind of a bullpen guy at hard I guess you
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: could say it doesn't. I don't really have this elegant
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: long routine to get ready to go, but some guys do.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Some guys have to start at four o'clock for a
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: six forty game, and you know every minute on the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: minute is dialed in, so they can kind of throw
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: some of those guys off. But you just try to
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: adapt to it a little bit.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: We love our Dogabella, who's really just account's cushion.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: In our house, and you would do anything for her.

• 7:42
  Speaker 6: You got on the cruise with Burke yesterday and he
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: had just pitched how much do you guys at starting
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: pitchers need to be together watch each other like, walk
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: out to the bullpen, then the eyewash, walk back into
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: the bullpen. Let other teams do like how much do
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: you guys really need to be to get other to
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: have a successful rotation together every five days, especially if
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: you have openers and it's like, well, is that guy
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: actually in the rotation because he opened for me?
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: So does he need to walk out here?
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Or are we all walking together?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: What's happening? Yeah, I mean I think it's just yeah,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: being together. I mean, obviously, the when there is the opener,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: it kind of puts a little kink in the routine
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: there because we don't want to so we can't walk
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: in some get some of the relievers will go straight
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: from the bullpen to the game and so like we
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: can't bay go out of the tunnel and we're following
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: them but kind of running to the side. So it
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: kind of gets a little weird with that. But you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I think just being together is great. I mean, like
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: we talked about it last night, like everybody can do
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: something better than you can, and I think you're pretty
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: ignorant if you don't believe that. So like constantly picking
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: guy's brains on how how they throw a certain pitch,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: what's their thought process, and then you know, taking their
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: thought process into one of your pitches and see if
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: it works. And kind of tinkering a little bit, you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: because I feel like you never really fully you know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: peek at this game. I feel like you can constantly
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: learn from somebody. And you know, I talked about it
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: last night, like Sean and Shane were very instrumental in
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: my in my curveball development, Like I could never throw
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: a curveball, and I continually talk about this on the bench,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: like what are you thinking when do you throw? And
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: how do you throw it when you think about throwing it,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and like what's the process, and so you kind of
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: tinker and tinker and tinker, and so I think it's
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: been great. I think a lot of the pitches that
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I've developed and a lot of the thought processes that
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I have is from you know, talking to guys all
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: the way back from twenty twenty two with Ceasi and
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Copek and all those guys, and just throughout the years
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you kind of pick up things from guys that come
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: in and out, and so I think it's very important.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I feel its very important to have that kind of
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: relationship with with your fellow starters, and I think we
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: have a good purn of each spot.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: You just mentioned twenty twenty two when you got called
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: up for the first time. How much has this organization changed,
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: because they've changed a lot of people. You talk about Copek,
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: Gary Crochet wasn't even healthy back then. Now he's cy
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: young candidate, he's in with another organization.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: You've seen the change. How much has it changed?
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: And pick out one thing that you're like, ah, I
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: really wish we still had that, and another thing that
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: you're like, man, I am so glad.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: We don't have that anymore. Yeah. I mean, honestly, you
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: look at once when you start throwing out longest tenored
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: and I'm the name that shows you kind of where
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: we're at. But you know, I think from a culture standpoint,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I think we had a very clique culture. You know
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: a while back. This is Bob No. I mean though,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I think we had a very clique culture at times,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: and I think it was kind of like a little
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: bit of every man for themselves, you know, back in
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: the day, and then you start kind of getting into
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the nitty gritty of the twenty three, twenty four years
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: and even last year a little bit, and you kind
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: of have a little bit of a bright spot on
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the backside of it. But I think that overall, culture
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Hall of you know what we've been and where we're
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: at now. I think we're kind of trending in that
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: right direction. And to be honest, there's a lot of
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: things that I think we've done much better than we
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: did in twenty twenty two from a development standpoint, from
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: a facility standpoint, Like, there's really nothing much that I
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: would say back in twenty two compared to now that
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I wish we had, because I think we were trending
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: in the right direction and in a lot of different areas.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: David, let's talk about you a little bit. You're off
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: to a little bit of a nice start here. I
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: know you don't want to talk about it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: But what did you change? Did you change anything.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: This year from previous years? I mean, I know you're
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: going to say health, but besides being healthy.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think it's just the understanding of
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: your arsenal right. I mean I think younger pitchers you
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: come up and it's always, hey, you need to add
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: this pitch. Okay, well we need to try to change
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: this pitch. You need to change this shape, you need
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: to try to throw this more. And I think going
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: into this offseason for the first time, I was just
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: like I have my arsenal, like this is what I
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: need to do. And you know, if I have these
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: six pitches, I feel like I can be successful and
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: go get guys out. And so just for finding that
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: all off season and not having to focus on like, Okay,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: well I need to find a slider this offseason. And
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: so just for constantly teekering, and you know, I think
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I look back at last year. We looked at after
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: the first month, they're like, hey, your slider's getting a
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: ten percent chase ten percent with which has got awful.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: So you're doing a complete overhaul and a slider in
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: the middle of the year, which is a nightmare for anybody.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: And so just going into the year knowing what my
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: stuff is, how I want to throw it, how I
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: want to set it up, kind of gets a little
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: bit more comfortable and you know your understanding of your stuff.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Well, then tomorrow we talked about this last night. You
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: guys played the Angels tonight and tomorrow you know who
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: you're pitching against tomorrow night.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, baby, let's go.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Does that mean you go into the game thinking like, man,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: he gives up, he's giving up, Like one run or
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: something the whole year.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Do you go in tomorrow and say boys.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Do you go into the offense you want to say, boys,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: come on, I just need to give me two boys
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: and will win this game?
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Or do you try not to think about it and
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: just have to pitch your game.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's pitching your game, But I think
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: it's also understanding like this is what you play in
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the big leagues for, right, Like you don't want to
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: go play, you know, some for a starter, Like you
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: want to play the best and you want to beat
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the best, and you know, I always remember, I think
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: it was you Darbush was the first really big name
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: that I got to win against. And just the feeling
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: of something like that in twenty two, I was like,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, Like I remember watching this guy. This
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: guy is incredible, and like now you're competing against him
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: and you can you can try to beat him, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: so I think just getting lost in the competition, right, like,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: this is an incredible opportunity and it's going to be
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun and you just go out there,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: you pitch your game and see where it owens up.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: What are your rotation mates? Had a pretty decent year
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: last year. It was an All star Shane Smith, and
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: now he's in the bushes. How does that motivate you
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: or how does that conversation you have with him or
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: do you just let him be who he is because
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: you look at a guy like that who's an all
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: star and then the reality of the major leagues is
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: you can get sent down at any time. Yeah, I mean,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: you know, I talked to him. I was like, I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: got option eight times or nine times in twenty twenty two,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and I was just like, the reality is, it's like
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: that's that's this game. I mean, you're never guaranteed a
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: spot and I know that, you know, being a fourteenth
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: round pick, like nothing ever is going to come easy
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: and nothing's ever going to be handed to you. So
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: you know, I just I don't think I've ever lost
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: that ship. And I talked to him about that. I'm like, really, dude,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: you're not trying to find something different. You're just trying
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: to find who you are, right Like, you've already been there,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: You already know what you need to do to be successful.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: And I was just finding that again, you don't have
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: to reinvent the wheel and be someone or not. And
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: so you know, we've we've had conversations back and forth,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: you know, over the past few weeks, and we check
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: in with each other and make sure, you know, see
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: how each other is doing and so but yeah, no,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: it's tough and that's but that's the reality of professional baseball.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: And I think he's ready for the challenge and he's
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: he's ready to, you know, go out there and compete
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: and find it again. And he wants to be back
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: up here real bad. And he's doing everything he can.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: So you know, that's all I can do is support
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: him and kind of talk to him and see how
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: he's doing.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Todd Father, it's getting a little warm out, and that
• 14:43

• 15:42
  Speaker 6: All right, I have a super random question for you,
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: Mike Trouts. Mike Trout's coming in, Okay, I'm not I
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: don't know if you're a Nike guy or not. AJ's
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: a Nike was a Nike guy. But if there is
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: a picture if yeah, he lets us all know he
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: was the Nike guy, first one to ever wear the
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: catching equipment. But the random question is, if there is
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: a picture on your team that wears Nike, will you
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: let them wear the Trouts to face Mike Trout, because
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: it feels like we talked about this this weekend with
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: my buddy. It feels like Trout's already beaten you. If
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: he looks out at the mount and goes that dude's
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: wearing my cleats, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna hit a
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: dinger off them.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: You know, it's hilarious. I actually wear Mike Trouts and
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I faced him last year with Mike Trouts and I
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: even did good. Even one for three.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: That's good. That's good for Mike. One for three is
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: great for a hitter. So maybe maybe maybe some Mike,
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: maybe some coops. I don't even know if they make
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: coops anymore.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'll try to go. I'll talk to I'll
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: talk to Rob and see if I can go find
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: some some O G's or something like that. You know,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: maybe you've got some leftover Persinski cleats or something like
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: that I can throw on.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: No, trust me, they shift those things out as soon
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: as humanly. As soon as I left.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Next spring, they sent a pod of shoes. I have
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: a picture. I've shown it before. They send you know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: those pods they have. They sent that over to the
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: surprise and we had a whole pod. They don't, and

• 17:49
  Speaker 3: more comfortable.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: What you don't What you don't know, Davis, is all
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: those pictures in Bob's office that you see of him
• 17:57

  Speaker 3: I did break I did. I did watch Bob break
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: the chair across from his desk you're sitting on. You
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: see the chair that's across from him. I did see
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Bob sitting it and break that chair though.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I was there.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: I witnessed that.

• 18:32
  Speaker 3: But asked Bob why he's a Wisconsin fan when he
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: went to Iowa. Just that's he's never answered that for me.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: I mean too bad football programs right now, so I
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: can't really Oh oh okay, hold on, we're not allowed
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: to talk football because Scott doesn't get it.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: But just because Texas Tech paid like seventeen million dollars
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: for their football team this.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Year, it's legal. Man man front door, Patrick saying, like
• 18:57

  Speaker 5: So it's so true.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, drop off cash now you direct deposits.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Last one for you, Davis, just like a general question
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: for you. In first month of this season, anything stand
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: out either from a team or a player perspective, an
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: opponent you've taken on where you're like, oh, damn this
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: this team's really good or better than I thought they
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: were going to be. Just like to get the perspective
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: of what you're seeing on the field in the first
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: month of the season that stood out, you know, when
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: you're sitting with someone like, hey, what it was something
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: that really impressed you in terms of what you saw.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think two things. I think one,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: we went down to Miami. Sandy al Contra looks the
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: part again. You know we talked about how where he
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: was last year. But you know we have a trainer,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: a physical therapist that was with Miami back when Sandy
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: was you know, so young, and he looked at us,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: he's like he's back, and you know you could just
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: tell me, and he's just he's dominat he's attacking the zone.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: He's doing everything that you know Sandy can do, and
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: it was really it was really fun to watch from
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: a picture's perspective. So yeah, i'd have to say that nice.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I like it all right, Well you're off the hot seat.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: You did great without Ozzie. We liked hearing from you.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: And by the way, if if you haven't seen it,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: look at the White Sox starter as well. Besides, Sean
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Burke has to have the opener. Look at their numbers.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: They're they're doing all right. They are, they're doing all right,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: so keep it up.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: Here comes the offense, I think. Yep.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Well, Davis, there was a pleasure man. Great to catch
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: up with you. Appreciate the time and we'll talk to
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: you soon.
• 20:46
