23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: got a big show for you tonight with jim Day.

24
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: I'm Tommy throw the Reds news to talk about there. Yeah,

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: there are some rumors abound already, and reports are that

26
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: the Reds have added a left handed reliever to their

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: bullpen for this upcoming season.

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, the reports are true and the physicals passed, et cetera.

29
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 4: Ken Roses, oh I think was reporting first that red

30
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 4: to signed left handed reliever Caleb Ferguson, twenty nine years

31
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 4: of age, Ohio product. He's up there from God's Country, Columbus.

32
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: Thank you very much. Uh.

33
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 4: Throughout the season, the Reds needed someone out of the

34
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 4: bullpen to face left handed batters for most of the season.

35
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: Their best option was a right handed pitcher in Graham Ashcraft.

36
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 4: So this fits the bill. Last year, I it was

37
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 4: one eight four average against him versus left handed batters,

38
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 4: gave up only two home runs the entire season. Kind

39
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 4: of changed his pitch repertoire a little bit. So I'm

40
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 4: not sure you can judge him over the whole career.

41
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: Off judge him on last year, which was really really good.

42
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 4: Er in the threes. He will help, no doubt about it.

43
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: I mean like you said, if you look at one

44
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: thing that the bullpen really needed last year, they never

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: did quite have a reliable level in high leverage. Yeah, yeah,

46
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 3: no doubt so. Caleb ferguson seventy games last year between

47
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh and Seattle as Jim andntioned Era right in the threes.

48
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 3: So those reports just coming out what about an hour

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: hour and a half ago, so still fresh, but still

50
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 3: some things to button up to get that deal done

51
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 3: and in writing. Hopefully later this week we'll have official

52
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 3: word on that. The other exciting news this week that

53
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: came out earlier today the Reds Hall of Fame induction

54
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: class for twenty twenty six, and we've got the executive

55
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 3: director of the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum, Rick Walls,

56
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: with us to talk about it. We'll have Marty Brennaman

57
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: on a little bit later on. Among those elected, Aaron

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: Harang will also join us on the show today and

59
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: Reggie Sanders elected as well. He will be on the

60
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 3: show a little bit later on as well. Brandon Phillips,

61
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: of course, headlines the list, a three time All Star,

62
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: four gold gloves and a silver slugger to his credit,

63
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: in addition to Harangue and Sanders. Lou Panella rounds out

64
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: the list. Really, Jimmy, before we get to Rick, an

65
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 3: incredible induction class and what a class of twenty twenty six.

66
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: I saw some people on Twitter saying this might be

67
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: the most deserving class the Reds have had inducted into

68
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: their Hall of Fame of the many, many classes that

69
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: have gone in.

70
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 4: Well, I think the people had waited for Reggie Sanders

71
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 4: for a while. Brandon Phillips was a lock, one of

72
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: the fan favorites, one of the most dynamic players that

73
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: put on a Reds uniform ever. Aaron harang was an

74
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 4: opening day starter so many times and was super reliable

75
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 4: on a point where the Reds didn't have a lot

76
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: of depth of pitching.

77
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: He was premier guy. And then Sweet Lou.

78
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: I mean when you cap it off with lou Panella,

79
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 4: who was so he might be top five beloved figures

80
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: all time in Red's history. Definitely top ten. So what

81
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 4: a class which is say it's something for a guy

82
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 4: that made it's just the way he did it that, Yeah.

83
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: No doubt about it. Let's bring in Rick Wallas. Rick,

84
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: congratulations on the news today. Obviously exciting stuff. Your reaction.

85
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: I mean, you have a pretty good feel for this

86
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: stuff by this point, you've been at it for a

87
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: long time. I'm sure you had a good idea who

88
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: was going to make it. But now that it's official,

89
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: your reaction.

90
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 5: You know it's one of the strongest classes we've had.

91
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 5: I've heard a lot of people tell me the same thing.

92
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 5: And when the Veterans Committee met and added and we

93
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 5: knew the results of the modern player ballot. So remember

94
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 5: there's the two components, right, the modern player ballot, players

95
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 5: that played within the last fifteen years. That's where Brandon

96
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 5: and Aaron came through. The Veterans Committee met, They sat down,

97
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 5: deliberated for about two and a half hours, went over

98
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 5: all the candidates in detail, and that's where you find

99
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 5: Loop Penell and Reggie Sanders rising to the level. When

100
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 5: I knew that we were going to have the four,

101
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 5: I knew we had a stellar class.

102
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: No doubt. Well talk about Loop Penello for a second.

103
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: We'll talk about no doubt with Marty a little bit

104
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: later on. You talk about a guy getting his due. Boy,

105
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 3: very very deserving of this honor. Of course, with the

106
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: ninety Wired to Wire team, not a bad way to

107
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: start your managerial career.

108
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 5: With a team not at all and talking to him,

109
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 5: you know, he says, I took over a good team

110
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 5: and Pete Rose's team, and then I added some components,

111
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 5: and then I helped them gel together, and then we

112
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 5: just went wired to wire, you know, the first team

113
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 5: in nationally to do that. And I think you look

114
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 5: at that team, and you look at those players, you

115
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 5: talk to them, and they've been back many times. Right,

116
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 5: this is the thirty fifth anniversary of that team, and

117
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 5: they talk always at nauseum about Loup Panell and what

118
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 5: he meant to that club where it's a nasty boys,

119
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 5: and Davis Hatcher, O'Neil, all these guys say, you know,

120
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 5: Lou was the guy that held us together. So I

121
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 5: expect a big turnout when come April, when Lou comes

122
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 5: back into town.

123
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 4: And you said April, normally it's mid summer, so we've

124
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 4: moved that up a bit so we don't have to

125
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 4: sweat it out there in the scorching heat. I think

126
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 4: April there's always a lot of interest in the team

127
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 4: in April.

128
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 3: Can you speak to the moving that up.

129
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 5: I think you know this had to do with the

130
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 5: red schedule. We always like to kind of work ourselves

131
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 5: around the schedule so the current team can go to

132
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 5: the induction Gala, which is the big event. It takes

133
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 5: place at the Convention Center at the end of the weekend,

134
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 5: so they will all attend. So what that means is

135
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 5: probably all the players that are coming to be inducted

136
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 5: this year, at least in Brandon and Harangue, they've been

137
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 5: to the galla. They know how we treat history, they

138
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 5: know how important this is to the organization, and in time,

139
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 5: you know, they'll figure out what it means to them

140
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 5: even more and more. And I hear that from all

141
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 5: the players that get inducted. So April, the convention centers available,

142
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 5: the red schedules available, and we're hoping everybody's going to

143
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 5: be there. It's going to be a big weekend.

144
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 3: The dates April twenty four through twenty six the whole

145
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: weekend celebration of this induction class, the galley you're talking

146
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: about the Convention Center will be on April twenty sixth.

147
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 3: Exciting stuff, Brandon Phillips. You talk about a guy you're

148
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: watching his career play out, and you just know as

149
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: you're watching him, this guy's going to be in the

150
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: team's Hall of Fame at some point, and no real

151
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: surprise there, but going back watching the highlights, the enthusiasm

152
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: that that guy played with pretty fun to be able

153
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: to finally induct him into the Hall of Fame.

154
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 5: So many people just came to the ballpark to watch Brandon.

155
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 5: I mean, he was one of those electric players, defensive superstar,

156
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 5: best defensive player in the league for many years. It

157
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 5: was just fun to watch. He brought enthusiasm. You never

158
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 5: knew what he was going to do. Maybe it was

159
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 5: behind the back to second sometimes you're like, wait a minute,

160
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 5: don't do they just throw it straight? But he always

161
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 5: came through and I know he's excited about this on

162
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 5: or one of the cool things we got to do

163
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 5: is make the phone calls.

164
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 4: So that's where I was going to ask you about,

165
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 4: where were the phone calls? Like, what's that like to

166
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: tell a guy that one of their lifelong dreams has

167
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 4: been achieved.

168
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 3: This is one of.

169
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 5: The perks of the job, right, So to be able

170
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 5: to do this, and we know we're changing lives, not

171
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 5: just theirs, their family members, and from now on they'll

172
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 5: always be called Red's Hall of Famer. You can add

173
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 5: that to their bio. So you go into each one

174
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 5: of these calls and you're surprising them because they don't know.

175
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 5: Sometimes you have to set up a go hey, can

176
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 5: I call you, you know, and set up a call for

177
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 5: ten o'clock this time, and they're like, yeah, it might

178
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 5: be about this. In the case of Aaron Harang and

179
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 5: I'm sure Aaron's listening right now, but we thought it

180
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 5: might be about fantasy camp because he's going to be

181
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 5: a fancy camp rights this year. And start talking to

182
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 5: him and we break the news and I think, you know,

183
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 5: you have to ask him how he felt about the

184
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 5: whole thing. And I think it's kind of a neat

185
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 5: private moment for them and their family to experience that.

186
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 5: Some that I'm curious what it's like when they get

187
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 5: off the phone and then they get to tell everybody

188
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 5: about it. I did tell them one of the hardest

189
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 5: things to do is to keep it quiet. Can't you

190
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 5: can't talk about it until Tuesday when we make the

191
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 5: announcement And here we are, so they're excited to be

Speaker 4: you made famous much more famous than it is right now,

237
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 4: no doubt. Maybe we should have a caller call in

238
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 4: and ask if you remember seeing them at a Kroger

239
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 4: twenty years ago.

240
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 3: Just a really of old times.

241
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 4: Anyways, this class, when you first heard, I mean, this

242
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 4: is a good class, When you first heard the members

243
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 4: that were in this class, what was your reaction?

244
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 6: Well, i knew them all beforehand, Tommy, because I'm on

245
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 6: the Veterans Committee, and I know Rick talked about that

246
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 6: a minute ago. We spent two and a half hours

247
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 6: going over the complete list of those who were eligible

248
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 6: to be considered, and you know, at the end of

249
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 6: the night we settled on Reggie Sanders and Luke Panella,

250
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 6: Brandon and I knew about it's and Aaron Harrang also,

251
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 6: I think, echoing the sentiments of Rick and what you

252
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 6: guys said, it's a great class. And one of the

253
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 6: things that nobody's touched on on was not only are

254
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 6: they deserving, is the fact that I've talked to all

255
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 6: four of them on the phone the last two days

256
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 6: and they're thrilled. I mean, they're absolutely beyond that to

257
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 6: to have gotten the call from Rick, and I was

258
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 6: on the call when they when they we told Brandon,

259
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 6: and we called Brandon on Sunday and then and then

260
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 6: they talked to the other guys, and then I had

261
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 6: a chance to talk to orangg and Reggie, and I

262
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 6: talked to Lou this afternoon. Uh, they're thrilled to death

263
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 6: about it. And that's that's the thing that really makes

264
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 6: it extra special. Not only are they deserving, but there

265
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 6: are also people who genuinely wants to be a part

266
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 6: of it. And and and how excited a guy like Lou.

267
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 6: You know, it's hard to excite Lou, because Lou's been

268
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 6: around the block a few times, but he was he

269
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 6: was struck dumb almost by the fact that he was

270
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 6: going in. And he talked about his wife Anita, breaking

271
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 6: down and shedding tears when she found out during the call.

272
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 6: And when I talked to him today, he reiterated those things.

273
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 6: So I just think it's a it's a win win Situationally,

274
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 6: they are they deserving, but they also are truly looking

275
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 6: forward to being here with their families when they're inducted

276
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 6: in April.

277
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: You've been around so many managers. Marty obviously Sparky one

278
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 3: of the most impactful managers on this franchise. I feel

279
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: like there are very few that can make the lasting

280
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: impact on a franchise as a manager in just three years.

281
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: The way Loupenella did talk about just his mark on

282
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 3: this franchise and what he means here.

283
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 6: Well, the thing I was impressed so much about, and

284
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 6: I'd be I'm going to be transparent as I normally am.

285
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 6: He's my favorite wretch manager that I've ever been associated with.

286
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 6: And people say what about Sparky. And Sparky and I

287
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 6: had an incredible relationship, but overall Lou was just not

288
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 6: only was he a damn good manager, but he was

289
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 6: a joy to be around. He wore his his you know,

290
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 6: his emotions on his sleeve, and the players knew that.

291
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 6: He told them the first day in spring training in

292
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety in Plant City, Florida, you guys are good

293
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 6: enough to win everything, and I'm not going to stand

294
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 6: for a damn thing less than everything you've got. And

295
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 6: if I don't get it, then you're going to hear

296
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 6: from me. And I really believe that a lot of

297
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 6: the success he had was slightly borne out of intimidation

298
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 6: because he was a tough guy. I mean, as he

299
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 6: was coming up in Tampa, Florida. He was a tough

300
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 6: guy and they knew that, but he also had their backs.

301
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 6: You know, the games that he was ejected from, he

302
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 6: was incredibly emotional. He was genuinely emotional. He felt like

303
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 6: they had been short changed and whatever the situation was

304
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 6: going to be. And not only that, he came from

305
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 6: the American League that had never been associated with a

306
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 6: National League club when he took over this team in

307
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 6: spring training of ninety for the first I don't know,

308
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 6: two weeks, three weeks whatever have been of the spring

309
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 6: training games and even into the early days of the

310
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 6: regular season. He had an all nationally coaching staff who

311
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 6: was the greatest that coaching staff I've ever been around,

312
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 6: and he allowed them to pretty much make determinations based

313
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 6: on the way the game was played in this league

314
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 6: until he learned. He didn't come in here saying I know,

315
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 6: I've got all the answers, I don't need the ELP.

316
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 6: He just embraced this whole situation, and he did it

317
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 6: with such great class and dignity and at the same

318
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 6: time a bull in the china shop attitude toward the

319
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 6: way the game should be played. He had the whole

320
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 6: package I mean, I'm thrilled that he's going to be in.

321
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 4: You had a really good relationship with Brandon Phillips, and

322
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 4: I think that relationship continues to today, maybe even more so

323
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 4: once he retired. Let's face it didn't always have the

324
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 4: rosiest of relationship with all players.

325
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: Why Brandon Phillips.

326
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 6: He's one of the few, but I did. I had

327
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 6: a great relationship with him, and and you know, I

328
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 6: talked to him a number of weeks ago about the

329
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 6: possibility that this thing could happen, and I would be

330
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 6: less and honest if I didn't say that Brandon had

331
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 6: some issues with some people when he was here who

332
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 6: are no longer here. And I'm not going to name names.

333
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 6: There are people who know who I'm talking about. And

334
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 6: so I think he has a tendency to hold grudges

335
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 6: and he's he's come around of the point now where

336
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 6: he understands how important this is for him. And I

337
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 6: think for a number of reasons, one of which is

338
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 6: one of the main priorities to be considered. He was

339
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 6: an incredible fan favorite, and he was that way because

340
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 6: he was a fan of the fans, and he gave

341
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 6: back to them and their adulation and I said, these

342
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 6: people that followed you all those years knew how wonderful

343
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 6: you were to them, and how important you were to

344
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 6: the franchise, and how popular you were. It would be

345
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 6: a little bit wrong to have an opportunity to go

346
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 6: into the Retch Hall of Fame and then you don't

347
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 6: want to come here. And we had a great We

348
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 6: had a number of conversations on the phone. I have

349
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 6: great respect for him. If you're going to assume, for

350
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 6: the sake of argument, that Joe Morgan is the best

351
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 6: second basement of the history of this franchise, then I

352
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 6: can promise you that Brandon Phillips is number two. So

353
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 6: this is where he belongs. He belongs in the Reds

354
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 6: Hall of Fame. And I think it's going to be

355
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 6: a great night for he and his family, just like

356
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 6: it's going to be for the families of Sanders and

357
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 6: Harangu and Vanilla.

358
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,080

Speaker 7: I mean, it means a lot, and being able to

398
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 7: be a part of this franchise's history has it's a

399
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 7: It's an amazing, amazing honor to get to be a

400
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 7: part of this.

401
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 4: You had a let's see, six was a five point

402
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 4: three war. Oh seven six war struck out two hundred

403
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 4: and sixteen batters, two hundred eighteen batters. What year for

404
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 4: you stands out the most in a red uniform.

405
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 7: I mean, obviously those those two were major, major years

406
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 7: for me. Uh it was, But leading up to that,

407
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 7: it was it was an important There was a big

408
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 7: opportunity for me to come to Cincinnati, obviously in a

409
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 7: rebuild stage, and be given the ball and told go

410
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 7: hit your pitch count. You got to you gotta work

411
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 7: out of situations and we'll come get you when your

412
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 7: pitch counts up, and you know, really made me have to.

413
00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 1: Pitch.

414
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 7: You know, I was never looking over my shoulder on

415
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 7: who's coming in to bail me out. It was just, hey,

416
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 7: go get them. And you know, I don't think if

417
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 7: if I didn't have that opportunity, you know, it might

418
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 7: have been a whole different you know, it might have

419
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 7: been a whole different type of pitcher. So to be

420
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 7: able to get that opportunity to really build and gain

421
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 7: my own confidence those first couple of years in Cincinnati

422
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 7: and learn the ballpark and learn the nuances of it,

423
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 7: and you know, I think, you know, those first couple

424
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 7: of years were key factors in what gave me that

425
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 7: ability to be that much better in you know, six

426
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 7: and oh.

427
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 3: Seven let the team in strikeouts four years in a row.

428
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 3: You had three straight seasons though I think this is

429
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: the strikeouts are great, the wins are great, but the

430
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 3: thing that stands out is the three straight seasons where

431
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: you had more than two hundred innings pitch. Now, you're

432
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 3: not that far removed from the game of baseball, but

433
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 3: it seems like two hundred innings a year is very

434
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 3: far removed from the game of baseball for a starting pitcher. Uh,

435
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 3: you talk about getting to your pitch count, but but

436
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 3: obviously you were doing more than just reaching your pitch count.

437
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 3: You wanted to make them count. What was the key

438
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: for you to be a workhorse be able to log

439
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 3: as many innings as you were able to year in

440
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 3: an year out.

441
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 7: You know, I think the biggest things for me was

442
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 7: just I mean, obviously I had to figure out what

443
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 7: type of picture I was. You know, you could be

444
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 7: that type of pitcher that goes in and you know throw,

445
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 7: you know, throws your pitches as hard as you can

446
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 7: all the time, and not really learn how to control

447
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 7: your body and know when to back off to hitters.

448
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 7: Do you know they always said you pitch in and out,

449
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 7: up and down in front to back on the plate,

450
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 7: and so being able to add and subtract velocity when

451
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 7: I wanted to. When I knew, you know, I didn't

452
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 7: always have to go as hard to be able to

453
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 7: get you know, uh make a you know, get make

454
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 7: effective pitches. So their swings weren't as h weren't as solid.

455
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, I think being able to do

456
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 7: that was a huge factor for me.

457
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 4: You started, correct me if I'm wrong. I think those

458
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 4: five straight opening days, and you know how big opening

459
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 4: day is here in Cincinnati. What did those honors mean

460
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 4: to you?

461
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 3: And was it five straight?

462
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 7: It was five straight, yes, and it was a huge honor.

463
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: You know.

464
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 7: I think the first year was a definite shock, very

465
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 7: very nervous doing it. Obviously we also had the President

466
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 7: coming in to throughout the first pitch. Yeah, you know,

467
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 7: you're you're you really have to adapt. There's so much

468
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 7: you know, change that first day on opening day, there's

469
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 7: so much going on. Things can get delayed.

470
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 3: You know, you have.

471
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 7: To start your program earlier. You know, when you have

472
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 7: guys that are very routine oriented that they can struggle

473
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 7: with that, you know, you have to so you have

474
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 7: to learn how to adapt your routine around the timing

475
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 7: of the game and what's going on pregame, and you know,

476
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 7: I mean that once you kind of learned that, it

477
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 7: helps out. But yeah, being able to start those five

478
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 7: five opening days in a row was a definite, definite

479
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 7: honor for me and something that I really took pride

480
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 7: in doing.

481
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 3: You talked about coming over to a team that was rebuilding,

482
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 3: you turned into a workhorse. How much did you have

483
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 3: to try to help young pitchers along along the way

484
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 3: as well as you know, be be the anchor atop

485
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 3: the rotation.

486
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 7: You know, you just you kind of went out and

487
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 7: you you went about your I just went out and

488
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 7: went about my business. And you know, yeah, I would

489
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 7: talk to the guys in between starts, and I would

490
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 7: I was constantly watching how uh you know, they would

491
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 7: do things. If if I saw, you know, something, I

492
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 7: would just hey, some of advice might be to try,

493
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 7: you know, change this up or you know, but it

494
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 7: wasn't trying to change them. It was just like, hey,

495
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 7: this is I've had success with this. You know, it

496
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 7: might be something to think about. And you know, so

497
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 7: you're always there to and you're always there to answer questions,

498
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 7: you know, and he always wanted the younger guys to

499
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 7: come up to you. And I mean I learned from

500
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 7: the guys ahead of me, you know, I learned from

501
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 7: the veterans that were around, that had done it, had

502
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 7: been in starting roles, maybe had been moved to the

503
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 7: bullpen or to close the role, but their experience helped

504
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 7: me out. So I always tried to use my experience

505
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 7: to help the younger players out.

506
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,760

00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,920

Speaker 8: you are honored to We're honored to do so. So yeah,

544
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 8: it was a it was a It brought so many emotions, uh,

545
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 8: you know, through my through my veins. But I'm happy to,

546
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 8: uh to call myself a Hall of Famer for the.

547
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 4: Red You were with the Reds early to mid nineties,

548
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 4: and you look down the rosters of those teams, and

549
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 4: boy were there's some characters and some great players. When

550
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 4: you're asked about memories of teammates, what comes to mind,

551
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 4: what guys?

552
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 8: Yeah, so yeah, there are so many. The one that

553
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 8: I always talk about is Glenn Braggs. Glenn Braggs was

554
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 8: a guy that when I first got called up, he

555
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 8: gave me a car to drive, he let me stay

556
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 8: in his apartment, he bought me five suits. So he

557
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 8: really treated me like I was, you know, his brother.

558
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 8: And then you fast forward that to Eric Davis, which

559
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 8: is this is a pretty neat story. So when I

560
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 8: got called up for the first time and Eric got

561
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 8: as everybody know, Eric got hurt in the ninety World series,

562
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 8: and then he got hurt again in nineteen ninety one

563
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 8: of August, and so that's when I got called up.

564
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 8: And so The very person that I saw when I

565
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 8: entered the Red Door was Eric Davis and he said, Hey,

566
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 8: reg I was waiting on you, and I just want

567
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 8: you to know that we are happy to have you here.

568
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 8: Don't worry about me. I will be okay. But anything

569
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 8: that you want, I would take care of you. And

570
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 8: so that was such a you know, leadership powerful moment

571
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 8: that Eric Davis was able to pass the torch on

572
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 8: in a positive way.

573
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 3: I mean, great, that's incredible. I mean, you're coming up

574
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 3: with the guys, he gets hurt and then he's there

575
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 3: to look out for you. I mean, that's that's that

576
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 3: speaks volumes to a guy's character, doesn't it.

577
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 8: Absolutely? And you know you take that to Barry Larkin.

578
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,479
Speaker 8: Barry Larkin, you know, we became really close when I

579
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 8: was with the reds Our families would you know, travel together.

580
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 8: We would spend a lot of time at each other's

581
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 8: house and so yeah, So, I mean there's so many

582
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 8: and then you think about, you know, from a manager standpoint,

583
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 8: Davy Johnson, who you know, really was like a father

584
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 8: figure to me at a young at a young age,

585
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 8: you know, kind of navigating the journey from a from

586
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 8: a young standpoint, and really, you know, took me under

587
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 8: his wing and really showed me what a young player

588
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 8: should do, how he should act, and how he should

589
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 8: carry himself, all the way down to Jack McKeon as well.

590
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 8: And so there's so many people that I'm probably forgetting about,

591
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 8: but you know, those are the ones that I can

592
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 8: recall right now.

593
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 3: Well, those were impressiable years for you. I mean, you

594
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 3: you broke into the big leagues. Obviously, we said the

595
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 3: Reds drafted. You broke into the big leagues. With the Reds.

596
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 3: You had some incredible players around you. Of those guys,

597
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 3: who would you say really kind of helped bold who

598
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 3: you were as a player. I mean, you went on

599
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 3: to have a nice career, you want, you won a

600
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 3: World Series later on with Arizona, but you had a

601
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 3: seventeen year major league career, get two seventy one, and

602
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 3: your career by the way as a Red specifically, who

603
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 3: was it that you feel like kind of helped mold

604
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 3: you as a player.

605
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, I think it's a I don't know,

606
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 8: I mean it's a culmination of a lot of just things,

607
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 8: you know, I you know, I think from a foundational standpoint,

608
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 8: like my mom My mom had me when she was

609
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 8: seventeen years old, so you think back then they had

610
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 8: to you know, go to work, and so she didn't

611
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 8: graduate high school and so she had to go and

612
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 8: put food on the table, as well as my father,

613
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 8: who did the exact same thing.

614
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: And so I think it was under that.

615
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 6: Spirit of.

616
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 8: Learning how to fight, continuing to move forward through adversity.

617
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 8: I think they really gave me the foundation of that.

618
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 3: But then, as you know.

619
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 8: You think about from you know, from growing up at

620
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 8: the Boys and Girls Club and starting you know, my

621
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 8: career there and the impact that the coaches had for

622
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 8: my development as a young player all the way into college.

623
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 8: You know, when I think about, you know, my college

624
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 8: coach at the time when I was at that age,

625
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 8: I didn't even know that I had the talent that

626
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 8: I had, but he saw something in me at Spartanberg

627
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,239
Speaker 8: Methodist College for me to come and play, you know,

628
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 8: for that school, and then transport for the Reds, you know,

629
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 8: drafting me and then Don Mitchell and then Don Mitchell

630
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 8: seeing something in me, the Reds seeing something in me,

631
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 8: and then ultimately I started to see it in myself

632
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 8: and then this things just started to kind of snowball

633
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 8: from there.

660
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,239
Speaker 3: watching some highlights of Brandon earlier to tack him.

661
00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean unreal.

662
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 3: I mean I watched him a little bit from afar uh,

663
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 3: but but getting getting a chance to watch him on

664
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 3: a nightly basis had to be special.

665
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 4: It was special because the he would make the spectacular play,

666
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 4: I mean, behind the back flip was just like a flip,

667
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 4: a normal flip for for other guys.

668
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 3: Some of the.

669
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 4: Plays that he made were just outstanding, had some flamboyancy

670
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 4: to him. When he comes into town, I hope he

671
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 4: doesn't come check me. People can remember that for some interviews,

672
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 4: but it should be star studded because I'm sure his

673
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 4: wife's going to be here too. Jade Cargill WWE World

674
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 4: Champion Jade car Gill. Hopefully she doesn't give me a

675
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 4: super X on the stage, but it should be good.

676
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 4: I'm glad they didn't wait too long on Loop Panella.

677
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 4: Well overdue there, and you know, I can't wait for

678
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 4: the speeches. I'm sure Phillips speech is going to be

679
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 4: off the charts.

680
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 3: I mean, Loup Panella is one of the best characters

681
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 3: in our game's history. Yeah, I mean when you think

682
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 3: of like the gold standard for what a manager was,

683
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 3: especially like in our when we were kids growing up,

684
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 3: like Loop Panella was what you wanted your manager to be,

685
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 3: no doubt.

686
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 4: And it was unfair for the managers that came behind

687
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 4: him because everyone wanted the Reds manager to be like

688
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 4: Loup Panela and not everyone is like that or has

689
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 4: that personality. But man, did he get the best out

690
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 4: of his team just because he was so fire, he.

691
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 3: Is so entertaining. Well, it was like what Marty talked about. Look,

692
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 3: he set the standard right out of the gate. Look,

693
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: this is what's gonna be expected of you do it

694
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 3: or we're gonna have problems. Yeah, most ways for it.

695
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 4: Great class, great, great class.

696
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a lot of fun celebrating those guys
