WEBVTT - Kyle Tucker (6-23-26) 

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>And now an exclusive interview with David Bassey for Dodger Talk.

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, I finally cornered Kyle Tucker.

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:12.320
<v Speaker 3>He's got nowhere to go because he's on a machine

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 3>right now that's given his back some sort of therapy.

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Kyle, thanks a lot for the time, appreciated.

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 4>Thanks for cordering me.

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know right, you're buckled in. They you can't

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:23.079
<v Speaker 3>go anywhere. You're stuck talking to me.

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:25.319
<v Speaker 4>Oh perfect, right where I want to be.

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 2>So what's this machine doing for your back right now?

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>It's just like a PMF machine, just kind of just pulses.

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:36.199
<v Speaker 1>So there's like a couple of different like attachments that

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>you can do to it, and a couple got like

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>a couple of guys mostly pictures kind of use it.

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 1>But it's just kind of like the electromagnetic waves and

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>pulses through you. So I just came came here, sat

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 1>down for a little.

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 3>Bit to use it, and then I saw you, and

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 3>then I saw Tommy Edmund doing this yesterday.

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's not bad.

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean you just kind of sit down and hang

0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>out and let it, let it do his thing.

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 3>How was the bag feeling today? You're not in the

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 3>starting lineup?

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Good?

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.119
<v Speaker 3>Day to choose not to be in the starting lineup

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 3>with this rain. But how's the bag feeling.

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>It feels better. Kind of locked up yesterday and was

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.959
<v Speaker 1>kind of tight and sore. Today it's better, so kind

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 1>of sore and bothers to kind of rotate a little bit,

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>but it's better than yesterday.

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 4>So that's that's good improvement. Kyle.

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 3>Okay, A lot of people have asked you a lot

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 3>of different questions that I'm not sure I would ask

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 3>as far as your hitting goes. But I do have

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 3>specific questions to ask you that nobody's asked. Number One,

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 3>you're swinging at the first pitch more than you ever

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 3>have in your career.

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Why do you think that is?

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>I was, I think at the beginning of the season.

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it kind of just depends. I mean, if

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>sometimes that's the best pitch you're going to get in

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that bat, I mean, if they're throwing it in the

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>middle ish part of the zone, like I might as

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>well swing at that, then take that and then have

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>to swing at pitches on the corner. So I just

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>gotta probably do a little bit. Petter jiz it not

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>missing those ones.

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 2>I guess.

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Dave Roberts said yesterday, You're a guy that would run

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 3>counts deep, you know, be very selective.

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel like if you.

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.080
<v Speaker 3>Get back to doing that and maybe going back to

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 3>who Kyle Tucker was swinging at the first pitch thirty

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 3>four percent of the time, that could help you moving forward.

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean it just depends.

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you get first pitch fastball in the middle,

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean that, like I said, that could be the

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>best pitch that you're gonna see that at bat, So

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>you just take your chances of that, and you know,

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>if they throw something out of the zone, then you

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 1>can work deeper into accounts. So it kind of just

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>depends on the ad bat and how it goes. I mean,

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>if you have four bats and the first pitch is

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 1>all you know, fastball or something right down the middle,

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.360
<v Speaker 1>and you'd see four pitches, like I mean, you at

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>least swung at the ones you wanted to swing at.

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 1>It just kind of is a matter of fact of

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>putting the barrel to the ball a little bit better

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>and making things happen.

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Do you feel like pitchers are pitching you differently this

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 3>year because it feels like those first pitches are a

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 3>lot more spin than they were fastballs in years past.

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:05.520
<v Speaker 4>I think it just depends.

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm sure teams look at how other team

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>has fitched me and see whatever success that someone's had

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>or what worked. So kind kind of just depends on

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the pitcher or the catcher, and like the team and

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>their game plan and stuff. So I remember, regardless, I

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>can got to hit it either way.

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 3>All right, here's a right, hey, Miguel Rojas endorsing this

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.080
<v Speaker 3>interview right now in the rain delay with Kyle Tucker. Okay,

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 3>so here's another one everybody trying to diagnose. Be Kyle

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 3>Tucker's number one hitting coach no more. Garciapara did a

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 3>whole thing on TV about just the way that your

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 3>stride seems to be more than it has been in

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 3>years past. Is that something that you're conscious of? Is

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 3>it something that you're trying to shorten up? What do

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 3>you say about the stride being too big this year?

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm sure it has, I mean has varied

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 1>throughout my career. And sometimes I'm taller, sometimes I'm more

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>closed or open. Sometimes it's trives a little bit bigger, shorter.

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 4>Kind of just.

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Depends, and honestly, whatever's feeling right that day or whatever's

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>working at the time, I just kind of ride with it.

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>But this year have kind of been searching for what's

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 1>worked and trying to make that consistent every single time.

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 1>So it's kind of just been trying to find something

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>that's working and just try and hold on to it.

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 2>The last day at home, I thought it was amazing.

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 3>I was waiting for you, Tucker, in front of your locker,

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 3>and I was told that right after the final out

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 3>of the game, you went into the cage to work

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 3>to try to figure out whatever You're trying to figure out.

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:40.719
<v Speaker 2>Where does that come from?

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 3>And do you believe too many swings can be counterproductive?

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:46.919
<v Speaker 4>I mean maybe at times. I mean.

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean I've hit after the game a couple of times,

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>just trying to figure it out or hoping that something

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>clicks so I go into the next day feeling better.

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, I mean hittings that constant, trying to

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.280
<v Speaker 1>get better. You're never gonna be perfect, but I'm just

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to find something that helps.

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.919
<v Speaker 3>I feel like All Star Break could help you reset,

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 3>clear your mind, not have to talk to people like

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 3>David Vass saying come back at Yankee Stadium and be

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Kyle Tucker.

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, obviously I'd like to not have the

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 1>time off. They're an ulcer break, because that means you

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 1>played pretty well in the first half and you get

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:23.359
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to play in the All Star Game. But

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 1>just kind of most important thing is just trying to

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>play better throughout the year. It gets to the playoffs

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and really take off from there.

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 3>It feels like your teammates have continued to support you,

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 3>love on you.

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 2>How much has that meant?

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:37.559
<v Speaker 4>It's awesome.

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean this team is full of great talent and

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 1>great people, So I mean everyone's here to try and

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>one in another world's heeries and get back to the

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>highest point in baseball. So I mean everyone's here to

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 1>support each other and get better individually and as a

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 1>group overall.

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, Kyle Tucker is our guest. It's a rain delay.

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 3>He's in the chair that he can't move front for

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 3>his back. So we're gonna find out about Kyle Tucker here.

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.839
<v Speaker 3>And he's such an introvert. We don't know a lot

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 3>about you, but you told me that you love to travel,

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.840
<v Speaker 3>and you've actually been to countries like Italy.

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:11.559
<v Speaker 2>And you've been to Florence. You've been to Rome.

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.920
<v Speaker 3>So are you a guy that is inquisitive you want

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 3>to know about history or do you want to just

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 3>see and taste all the great food in Europe?

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:21.279
<v Speaker 4>More of the latter.

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean history is such school, It's not like my

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>number one thing. But I like going around, like especially

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>the off season. You don't have that much much of

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>an off season, so you just try and take advantage

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 1>of it, like going some vacations, traveling around and seeing

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>some places I haven't been to, So probably do some

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 1>more of that this next offseason, you know, later on.

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 1>But I'm in school, I try and find different things

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I've never tried before, seen before, and do my research

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:51.719
<v Speaker 1>on the stuff.

0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 3>How adventurous were you as far as eating in Europe?

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Would you go? Squid? How far will Kyle Tucker go?

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 3>As far as the delicacies of European life?

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:07.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'll try majority of things. If it's like

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>too weird or just not up my alley, I'm out.

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>But I mean you can know is just find some

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>places that are you know, you can find all over

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>the place, all over the world, and like the safe

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the safe go tos. But I'm always up to trying

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 1>different restaurants. And different foods and stuff.

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 3>What was the best part of your trip to Rome?

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 3>If you're trying to give us a scatting report on Rome.

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Was it the Colisseum? Was it just seeing the Vatican?

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 3>Seeing the people? What was it about Rome that people

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 3>hyped up that the Tuckers loved.

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean we stayed at a place like kind of

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>near a bunch of other attractions, so we were able

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 1>to walk around the streets and kind of just not

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>have like a set like timeframe or like excursion or anything.

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 1>We just kind of walked around dinner own thing for

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>a couple of days, and then to ended up doing

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 1>a tour of Vatican City and going or the church

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 1>and everything. So, I mean, the place is massive. I've

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>never been there before other than that one time, so

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty impressive. So we did a tour through there

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 1>one day and kind of just going around seeing the city,

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 1>trying and find some cool restaurants and stuff and or

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>like scenes to go check out.

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what was nightlife like in Rome? Was there any

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 3>night life for you and and your wife?

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 1>We weren't going out and like partying in the clubs

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>out in Rome.

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 2>You didn't they call him disco text Tucker.

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>And we weren't going to the disco text, but we

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 1>just had We had a good time.

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 4>It was fun, all right.

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 3>So Vatican City, were you there when Pope Leo was

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 3>the pope or was it still in between popes? Because

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 3>Pope Leo big baseball fan, big White Sox fan, he

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 3>might know who Kyle Tucker is.

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean we went at the very end of twenty three.

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I don't think he was there yet.

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So, I mean it was cool just to go

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.320
<v Speaker 1>check out the places. I mean, we try and try

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and go over there whenever we can or find enough time.

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I know, we got a you know, three and a

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 1>half month old now, so it's definitely gonna make it

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.200
<v Speaker 1>a little tough for traveling around. We try and do

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 1>it before like the tough stages kind of really start

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 1>kicking in. We don't have enough time to go over

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 1>and do things. So we're hopefully trying to go over

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 1>there again soon.

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Tucker is a big golfer.

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 3>Have you gone over there and golfed in Scotland or

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 3>Ireland yet?

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I haven't played golf over there yet. My family and

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I went over there like years ago, maybe like eight

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>ten years ago or something, we ended up going to

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>place in Scotland and it was pouring rain and we

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 1>were staying out, like I guess it was like a

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:45.719
<v Speaker 1>golfer's order something. But was looking outside and it was

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>pouring rain, and I see people like walking the course

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>and I was like that it kind of looks miserable.

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 1>But I guess it's relatively normal over there with the

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>weather and people loving to go play golf, and that

0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>might be your only opportunity to play that course in

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 1>such a just place, So I get it. But I mean,

0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:05.760
<v Speaker 1>if it's pouring and lightning and thought it like, I'm

0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm good to go inside.

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 4>My round's probably over.

0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree with you. At least we agree on that, Tucker.

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:13.439
<v Speaker 2>We agree on a lot.

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 3>Maybe you and me will go on to European vacation

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 3>this offseason. You could say you're bringing your wife, I'm

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 3>bringing my wife and kids, and you know, we could

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 3>we could have a wingman for each other there.

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm going in November, Tucker. Maybe you want to plan that.

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, perfect, we might cross paths.

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:28.959
<v Speaker 2>Do I like that? I like that.

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 3>A lot of people are giving us weird looks walking

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.560
<v Speaker 3>by this chat I mean, has nobody ever seen a

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 3>guy getting some back therapy and doing an interview.

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. It might be first time a right, love.

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.240
<v Speaker 2>It, hey, Vessi, he's a big Vassa fan. Don't let

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 2>him fool you right there, Tucker Dave.

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe that you're doing this interview while you're

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.199
<v Speaker 1>on Tucker's back right now.

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe it. Man, let him rest, okay. I

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 2>feel like I'm great therapy for his back. Vessia, No way, no.

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.679
<v Speaker 4>Way, absolutely not. Please let the man rest.

0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay. You've never seen him smile this big since he

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:00.840
<v Speaker 2>got here. Since.

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 4>That's a lie, That is an absolute lie.

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I've seen talk smile many times, actually many.

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 4>That helps with the smiling for sure.

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 3>Evaluate the beard. You think the beard there's like a

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 3>bird nesting in the beard, Tucker.

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:15.079
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely getting getting a little long and scruffy right now.

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Multiple people talk about me shaving it, cutting it.

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it.

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:24.880
