1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: It's just like there was no ball that was hit

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: that like we couldn't get to. So that also helped

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: because I mean the pitty were able to. Then here

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: here's my page, go hit it.

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: We've got Dalton bar Show from the Blue Jays joining

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: us right now. Dond, great to have you on and

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: welcome to the debut host day for Wit Merryfield.

8
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 3: Perfect timing. How you doing, man doing awesome? I was

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 3: just down here in Florida soaking up the sun right now.

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 3: There you go.

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: Did you like my intro of you?

12
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 3: Or WIT's better of you?

13
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 4: Uh?

14
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: What is probably just a little bit more mean, but uh,

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, I mean that's just Wit. I mean, if

16
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: you play with him, you know exactly, it's just you

17
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: got to give it right back to him.

18
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: What was your scatting report of Wit as a teammate?

19
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: And actually he was just telling us some crazy story

20
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: about how he took a bite of all of Zach

21
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: Wheeler's chicken fingers, So did he do any of that

22
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: crap with you guys?

23
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: He was definitely like the big brother there that wanted

24
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: to be the big brother, but definitely was like the

25
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: little brother that did all the pranks. So you just

26
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: put him in a headlock and you put him back

27
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: in his place, and you're good.

28
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 5: Me and Dalton used to we used to wrestle, and

29
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 5: Dalton was so mad that he he was a wrestler

30
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 5: in high school. And he's lower to the ground and

31
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 5: he's more sturdy, and I would still take him down.

32
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 5: And now that now, congratulations, Dalton. Dalton's a new father.

33
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 5: He's got a daughter, so now he's even softer than

34
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 5: he was before. So Dalton, you got when I come

35
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 5: back to Toronto, you got no shot?

36
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, the girl that definitely is a definitely a big

37
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: thing of where he kind of take a little bit

38
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: on the softer side. But you know, if Wit comes

39
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: in the clubhoufs, I think another wrestling match is probably good.

40
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: But you know, if he stays away from the left

41
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: hand string, were good.

42
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: Exactly.

43
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 5: There you go.

44
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 6: So how long, Dalton? How long have have you been sideline?

45
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 5: Now?

46
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: Uh? Since June first?

47
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 5: Do you think if you'd had a boy, you'd be

48
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 5: back by now? Probably because you had a girl.

49
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: You just now, well the girl, I mean she just

50
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: laid lays in the arms and falls asleep. Boy, you

51
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: actually have to probably follow around and have to pick

52
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: him up, put him back down.

53
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 3: So but she is a big girl, so I'll give

54
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 3: her that she is.

55
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: She is the full weight in full length of But

56
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: I don't know where she gets that from, not from me,

57
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: but hopefully that's on my wife's side.

58
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: So probably have good hops. That's in the genetics. So

59
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: what's the timetable? What do you got for us?

60
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: Obviously we're kind of ramping up here with a leg.

61
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: I think running bases this next week. Again, tweaked it

62
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: a little bit on Monday, so just kind of shut

63
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: it down, got amri. Everything looks fine going up uphill,

64
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: a little bit inflammation still in there, but still doing

65
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: lives defense. Just waiting to kind of be able to

66
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: get up to one hundred percent running feed and when

67
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: that's able to go, I'm good to go in the

68
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: rehab seven.

69
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm assuming you've been able to watch every game, right?

70
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: Do you rehab your all your work and then you're

71
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: watching most of the Blue Jays games?

72
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: Actually a night? What do you think? I mean?

73
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: You know we're at June what twenty six? So the

74
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: last few weeks they look pretty strong. They vaulted themselves

75
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: into a really good race for either a wild card

76
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: or for a division spot, as the Yankees had taken

77
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: a step back too.

78
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean just watching the games.

79
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: I think early on for us, the problem was that

80
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: we kind of kind of let the media kind of

81
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: bleed in a little bit of like we needed all

82
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: this power, And if you watched our games early on,

83
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: we played a lot of small ball.

84
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: And we were able to move runners, do all little

85
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: things right.

86
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: And when that was able to happen, it was just

87
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: so fun to watch because that's what we were doing in spring.

88
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: And so the way that we've been playing now, like

89
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: we yeah, we're hitting a little bit more homers, but

90
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: that's coming on mistakes on the pitching side of just

91
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: being able to kind of take advantage of that. And

92
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: we ran through a good chunk of time where we

93
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: were facing really good teams and their pitchers are on

94
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: and sometimes that happens. And just honestly now just watching

95
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: the games, we're doing everything right. Pitching's great, defense has

96
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: been awesome, and we're just obviously hitting a little bit

97
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: more homers and it's it's working out for our team

98
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: and it's been really fun to watch even though that

99
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm here, but when I was back there. It was

100
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: so fun to be with that team because we were

101
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: doing a lot of little things right.

102
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 5: Darn Let me let me piggyback on that, because when

103
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 5: I was there, starting in twenty two, before the year

104
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 5: before you got there, I felt like probably the biggest

105
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 5: crutch that Trot was holding Toronto back at the time

106
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 5: was there full lean on soul analytics and just doing

107
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 5: things by the analytical book. Based on the way you

108
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 5: were just talking about the small wall and stuffs, has

109
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 5: that feel.

110
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 6: Softened a little bit?

111
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: I would say so. I think.

112
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: I mean we've been the last couple of years I've

113
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: been here, a lot of the kind of emphasis has

114
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: been on.

115
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 3: Base running and defense.

116
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: And honestly, when Kevin Kiermer I was here, he was

117
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: out in center housing left Georgia's and you spent a

118
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: little time and left.

119
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 3: When I was in center, it's just.

120
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: Like there was no ball that was hit that like

121
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: we couldn't get to. So that also helped, because I

122
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: mean the pitchers were able to then here here's my.

123
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: Pitch, go hit it.

124
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: And so obviously adding a guy like Max Scherzer where

125
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: like he's able to move me now, and we've had

126
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: these conversations when I was kind of hurt and coming

127
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: in through spring where I wasn't able to play defense,

128
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: but he's like, Hey, I'm gonna throw a pitch here,

129
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna move you for one pitch, and then you

130
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: go back to where the card kind of tells you.

131
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: So it's honestly great to have guys like that because

132
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: then you're able to play defense in a total different

133
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: way and just more aggressively to what the pitcher's doing.

134
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: And so I think that's where our kind of kind

135
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: of gotten better, especially with.

136
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: Our infield play this year.

137
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: And you've got guys like Ernie Barger who's kind of

138
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: gone into third base and have excelled a lot really there,

139
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: and now you have a Platinum Glover and a Menez

140
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: at second helping Boett short, and then you got a

141
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: goog Glover of Vladie at first. So I think the

142
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: defense and the base running part is what has made

143
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,799
Speaker 1: our team a ton better.

144
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 6: How much did you love me playing left beside you, Dalton?

145
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: I really want to find that play where you threw

146
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: your glove up when I called you out on that ball,

147
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: Like me and George haven't found that play yet. But

148
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: I'm waiting to find it so that I can just

149
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: create it into a meme so that you guys can

150
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: use it.

151
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 6: All the time, I hated I hated the outfield.

152
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 5: I hated it, and they kept running me out there,

153
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 5: and I just, you know, I wanted to to make

154
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 5: it fun, and so I just wanted to mess with

155
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 5: you when I was out there.

156
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're at least a little bit good at that.

157
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you could play a little bit, and they

158
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: needed you.

159
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: To play on.

160
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 4: You Dalton, Dalton, when when when Witt was out there,

161
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 4: did you know I have to cover the whole outfield

162
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 4: like I could? You couldn't just cover center field? What

163
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: was it the catch you made like this behind your

164
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 4: back right? You also knew you had to cover the

165
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 4: whole left field, and you're like, all right, George can

166
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 4: cover right, But I've just left the center and I

167
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 4: got the whole thing.

168
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: For the most part.

169
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: You just had to make sure it was paying attention

170
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: with the picture of the ball, because he was always

171
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: looking in the stands trying to see who was out there,

172
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: and so all the.

173
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: Time was like, Wit, you got to move over.

174
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: And so like I was the one that was moving

175
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: and He's like, what and so, But now it was fun.

176
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we always had a fun time when there's

177
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: always pitching changes. We always full around with each other

178
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: out there and made fun and waved.

179
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: Out the crowd and stuff like that. And they always

180
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: made fun of me.

181
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: I was the little brother to both of them, so

182
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: it was always fun for me and being out there

183
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: with both of them because they just they made me

184
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: feel just so welcome and it was just always fun

185
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: out there.

186
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: It was just one of those things where.

187
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: You just like guys because they treat you a certain way.

188
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: If you're a card collector, even if you're not, and

189
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: you just want to find a new way to collect.

190
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: Arena Club is the spot. AJ just opened up a

191
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: slab pack he screened recorded on his phone so you

192
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: can all see what he just experienced.

193
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: Take us through it.

194
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 6: It was simple.

195
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 4: I just clicked on which slab pack I wanted, clicked

196
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: by now boom bought it card. Little pack starts spinning,

197
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: you hit open, and then it goes all psychedelic on you.

198
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 3: It's a little funny and then.

199
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 4: The card appears and I got a Robin Yelt Rookie car.

200
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you did it awesome and then right after that experience,

201
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: I saw the little buy back and you said, hold

202
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: on to this for now.

203
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 3: Hold on his robinots in the Hall of Fame.

204
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 4: He's not getting any more rookie cards, so I'm gonna

205
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 4: stick with it for a little bit.

206
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: So you have the price might start just going up

207
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: a little bit.

208
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: Yep, you can track that, and of course if you

209
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: do want to do the buy back, then you can

216
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: Hey, so.

217
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 2: You've got a real old man on the team right now,

218
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 2: just made his return. I know he did the start

219
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: early on this year and then he got himself right here.

220
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: Has it to have Max Schurzer back on the mound

221
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: for the boys.

222
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: And it looked pretty good. Velo looked pretty good.

223
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: I think he topped out at ninety five and then

224
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 2: heard that he felt okay after the start. So that's

225
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: a nice boost for the rotation, right huge boost.

226
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean just having another consistent arm, being able to

227
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: go out there and throwing five plus innings.

228
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: I mean, he looked great. I remember, I.

229
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: Mean I was facing him here when I originally got hurt,

230
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: and he looked really good and everything felt good. So

231
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: that was kind of the biggest thing is having him

232
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: after his start feeling good.

233
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 3: So it will be a huge boost for us.

234
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just another guy that can help all

235
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,119
Speaker 1: of our younger guys.

236
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: To be able to develop and understand things.

237
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: And he's just different, like he just there's a reason

238
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: why he's pitching until he's forty is just that he's

239
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: so successful being able to make pitches look very similar

240
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: and being able to be successful with that just being

241
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: able to pitch. And that's what's so fun to see,

242
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: is like a guy who doesn't always have like ninety seven,

243
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: but he's able to pitch off of it.

244
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: And so I mean we were talking about you guys

245
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 3: were talking about before the mis kid.

246
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: He's actually pitching at one hundred miles an hour, which

247
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: is unbelievable because it's just like now, you see a

248
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: lot of throwers in this game, and you don't see

249
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: as many pitchers.

250
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: So Max comes on this show every once in a

251
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 2: while and it's usually like an hour. I mean most

252
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: of the time we do our player in and it's

253
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: like ten fifteen minutes. But Max, we got to block

254
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: out like an hour. And I know that makes sense

255
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 2: to you. We had we had Schneids on the other

256
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: day too, and he's like, yeah, once once a game,

257
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 2: like if he's in town, you know, and he's not rehabbing.

258
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: I got thirty to sixty with him. He pops into

259
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 3: the office.

260
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: So any Max combos that you had that you can

261
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: take us inside because I know he likes talking ball too, Like, hey,

262
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: he's almost like a if I were commissioner kind of guy.

263
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's so he is the definition of like an

264
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: analytical person that can talk baseball. And I think that's

265
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: what's so cool about him is that he knows exactly

266
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: what the hitter wants to do, so he's able to

267
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: move guys in certain places to be able to do it.

268
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: So we talked every day when I was up there

269
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: because he was there still rehabbing, but he was moving

270
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: me in the outfield just because like our cars are

271
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: placed in certain spots. But he knew kind of like

272
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: how Bassett wanted to throw, so he kind of knew, okay,

273
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: let's let's push you over here. So like there was

274
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: a big one with like Riley Green or like a

275
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: certain count, He's like, hey, get over to that gap

276
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: because that's where he hits this That's where he.

277
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 3: Hits a lot of balls into this count.

278
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: And so it's kind of cool to see like having

279
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: any adjustments from pitch one to pitch two. And obviously

280
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: you see that in the center field of what guys

281
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: want to do.

282
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 3: But obviously to kind of.

283
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: Go through all the information and the analytical part and

284
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: being able to make the adjustment so fast.

285
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 4: That's what veterans are good for. That's what veterans are

286
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 4: good for.

287
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 3: Dalton.

288
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 4: So you got you got a couple, I guess veteran

289
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 4: guys Bow and Vladdie. You've kind of gotten going here

290
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 4: a little bit once the season. How good can they be?

291
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 4: How good can this duo be for the Blue Jays?

292
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean think, I think for the three

293
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: years I've been here, when they're both going really well,

294
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: I mean, Lady brings the power and.

295
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 3: Bo just gets on.

296
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: And so now you see Bo kind of tapping in

297
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: a little bit of that power where it's just.

298
00:11:59,040 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 3: Like it's just happening.

299
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we all know his hitters, like we don't

300
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: try to hit homers. When you do try to hit homers,

301
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: that's when we kind of go into the spiral spin

302
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: of like, all right, what am I doing again?

303
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 3: And so when Bo hitting these.

304
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: Homers are all an accident and it's just like, all right,

305
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: now you got to deal with Bo at the top

306
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: and Vlaty at third. And honestly, the move of Barger

307
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: hitting second was huge. I mean, to be able to

308
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: put a left in between those guys, I mean, it's

309
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: just now it's tough because now you've got three guys

310
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: in a row where it's like Barger's gonna take us hacks,

311
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: Laddie's gonna take his hats, and Bow's gonna get on.

312
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: So it's really cool to kind.

313
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: Of see and see it's kind of the momentum that

314
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: we've kind of created as a group and being able

315
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: to win a lot of ball games and doing really work.

316
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: Hey, what did you think of Laddie's extension? And you know,

317
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: obviously you guys are gonna be teammates for a while.

318
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 2: Now do you try and like ho came to take

319
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: you out to dinner or do something a little more often.

320
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: I mean maybe off season, a little boat hangout, something

321
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 2: like that. He certainly got the cash flow to be

322
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: able to take care of you these days.

323
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's just a normal like he is the

324
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: definition of a kid that's stuck in an adult's body.

325
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: He is the ultimate kind of prankster. He's a good

326
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: he's just one of the best teammates. I mean, he's

327
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: always happy, go lucky. He's just one of those guys

328
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: where he deserves it because he's played really well and

329
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: he's done and showed everything that he could. And he

330
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: doesn't take the money for granted because he's still gonna

331
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: play hard every day. I think you see kind of

332
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: that trap a little bit where guys get the money

333
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: and he stops working. I think that's a total opposite

334
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: for him to where he's trying to get better and

335
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: trying to be the best version of himself. And you're

336
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: seeing it now. I mean, it's not all power anymore.

337
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: And now he's like taking his walks, he's moving runners,

338
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: he's just doing everything right that you want your five

339
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar player to do. And so It's really

340
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,599
Speaker 1: cool to see and I try to get out of

341
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: him every once in a while, just like with the

342
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: base running parks, I.

343
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: Feel like I can help him with that. But other that,

344
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 3: I mean, he's just an alimate teammate.

345
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 6: Dalton.

346
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 5: I don't know if many people know. I mean, I'm

347
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 5: sure most people do that know you or followed the

348
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 5: Blue Jays, but used to be a catcher, and I

349
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 5: know that you loved it when. So when you were catching,

350
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 5: that takes up all your time when and now you're

351
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 5: such a good defensive centerfield, they're probably the best in

352
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 5: the league. How hard was that transition? Were you able

353
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 5: to do some centerfield stuff when you were catching? And

354
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 5: how long have you been doing both of those things?

355
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

356
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: So I started playing a little outfield in twenty nineteen

357
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: when I was in Jackson, Tennessee in Double A, and

358
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: that was kind of the time when we had Carson

359
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: Kelly and Stephen Vote in Arizona. So the way kind

360
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: of for me to get to the big leagues was

361
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: to be able to play another position and kind of

362
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: give the depth of kind of being available to be

363
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: able to catch and also play all three outfield positions.

364
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: So obviously when I got to the big leagues, it

365
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: was kind of playing a little bit more left and center,

366
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: not really right. And then alk Thomas got caught up

367
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: and I got moved to right, and so I was

368
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: starting to play all three positions. I figured out my

369
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: footwork and all that stuff to be able to kind

370
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: of do really well out there. But the hardest part

371
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: was when I had to catch to start the game

372
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: and then go play outfield, because you're so exhausted from

373
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: catching for like seven innings and it's like, hey, go

374
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: run out for the outfield for the rest of the innings.

375
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: And so that was always the tough part of just

376
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: the body wise of adjusting to that period because it's

377
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: more up down and it's not really side to side

378
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: as much for like sprinting wise, that's kind of what

379
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: was hard, just because it kind of took a toll

380
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: on your body.

381
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: A little bit.

382
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: But other than that, I mean, there was a time

383
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: where I caught thirty games and then all of a sudden,

384
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, go play out field the rest

385
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: of the year. So obviously there was times where like

386
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: I could do outfield stuff, but when I was catching,

387
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: I was kind of basically catching at that point, and

388
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, go play outfield and go be

389
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: an athlete.

390
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 4: How bored do you get? How bored do you get

391
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 4: being an outfitter? Because I know this is a catcher

392
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 4: only caught. If I had to go stand out in

393
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 4: the outfit, I would have been like home, I would

394
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 4: have been like w out there, I'd be like looking in,

395
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 4: look at the butterfly. I'm gonna pick the flower. How

396
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 4: bored do you get when you when you go from

397
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 4: catching to the outfield.

398
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: I actually don't get as bored. I think it's a

399
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: less uh stressful position. But I still obviously still follow

400
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: kind of how our pitchers are pitching, and I still

401
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: kind of have that part of my brain moving of like,

402
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: all right, when I see Bassett throw inside too, seem's

403
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: going to back it up and double up or is

404
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: he gonna throw a cutter or something off of that.

405
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: So I'm always still kind of playing kind of catcher

406
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: out there of kind of like what the pitcher's pitching

407
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: and how I'm gonna be able to kind of move

408
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: and kind of cheat a little bit. So I think

409
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: that's one of the coolest things, is like that part

410
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: of my brain hasn't shut off, and I hope it doesn't,

411
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: but just kind of trusting that I can be able

412
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: to kind of stay out there and obviously try to

413
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: get the best jumps I can, and so I'm trying

414
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: to cheat as much as I can.

415
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: Do You ever wish that you could still do it

416
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: like that, you could still do both, you know now

417
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: with the Jays, and you're like, yeah, I'm happy I

418
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: just got one gig, especially as you get older, And yeah,

419
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 2: it probably makes.

420
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 3: It a little easier to focus on the bad at

421
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 3: times too.

422
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I think I had enough file tips and

423
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: back swings to the head that I'm good of not

424
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: going back there. But obviously I'm still the emergency guy.

425
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: So there was a couple of times the last two

426
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: years when the next thing was going to be Romano

427
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh gosh, I have to catch him,

428
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: all right, how am I going to do this? And

429
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: so like I'm asking Kirky and Danny Jansen, I'm like,

430
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: all right, what do I need to call here?

431
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: What do I need to do? Trying to figure out

432
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 3: the Skytyport skyder.

433
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: Report all in like two minutes, And so I'm kind

434
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: of good on that part. Of where I don't have

435
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: to coddle pitchers anymore. I can just go be a

436
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: defensive player and go and enjoy the outfit with the boys.

437
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 3: All right, I got one.

438
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 2: More for you, Uh, George Springer, another man who's been

439
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 2: around the game for a minute. Actually bring Witt in

440
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,959
Speaker 2: for a second. Do you remember, because the connection with

441
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 2: you and me obviously is the Cape League and chat

442
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: out to John Shiffney, your manager. There's bench coach at

443
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 2: Whereham now or sorry, at Brewster now Whereham is where

444
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: George Springer was though, So wait, you and you and

445
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 2: George go way back.

446
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 6: No, we do go way back. Yeah, we go so

447
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 6: far back.

448
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 5: You probably had hair when when when we were playing

449
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 5: against each other in the Cape. That guys, that guy's

450
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 5: two haircuts, two haircuts away from being full on ball

451
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 5: and I saw him the other day. It's not good, Dalton.

452
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:38,719
Speaker 6: Tell him.

453
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: I told him it's time I get to actually buzz

454
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: this hair when it's time.

455
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 3: He's agreed to it.

456
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 6: Good.

457
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 4: Wow.

458
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: Okay, So, so where's the fountain of youth for him

459
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 2: coming from this year?

460
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 3: Obviously he's he's had a big year. Yeah. Our new

461
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: hitting coach is David Popkins.

462
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: And Loui and Otie, they really kind of unlocked some

463
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: things for him of just telling them just get your

464
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: a swing off. That's all we need you to do.

465
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: Get your a swing off, and whatever happens happens. And

466
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: so you'll see a couple of times where he lands

467
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: on his knee, but you know that he's getting his

468
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: a swing off and he's trusting everything that he's he's

469
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: going into it.

470
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: And you saw the.

471
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: Grand Slam the other night, I mean it was awesome,

472
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: like just to be able to see him kind of

473
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: back to who he was because when I was catching,

474
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean I was having to face him in the

475
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: Astros lineup, and I was like, man, how do you

476
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: get any of these guys out? Because they're one either

477
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: taking hacks or two they are backing that ball up

478
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: and they are crushing an opposite field and it's like,

479
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to do.

480
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: I don't even know what to call. So obviously seeing

481
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 3: kind of that side of.

482
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: Him when he was younger and being able to do

483
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: that stuff and now seeing it again, it's so cool,

484
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: and it's I get a front row seat to it

485
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: and I get to ask him a ton of questions

486
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: of kind of just picking his brain and being able

487
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: to kind of better myself.

488
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,280
