Speaker 1: Get Up, Get Up? What's up? Everybody?

2
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 2: Welcome back another interview with the Messed Up Podcast. We

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: got Mark Hannah here. This is actually take two because

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: our Mark just smashes head in the Verizon box over there,

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: so we're happy to start it up.

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Mark.

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: First of all, happy to have you here.

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me.

9
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: This has been a pretty unbelievable season for this Mets

10
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: team as a whole. What's it been like just being

11
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: swept up in a pennant race here in New York.

12
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: It's very exciting, you know. We got a month to

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 3: go here. It feels like the table is very much set,

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 3: and then we're kind of in control of our own destiny.

15
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 3: And I think if you asked us if we'd like

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: this spot at the beginning of the year, we'd say,

17
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:47,319
Speaker 3: hell yeah, so.

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: We're ready to go.

19
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 4: How have you liked New York so far? Spent a

20
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 4: lot of your career in Oakland. What's been a big difference?

21
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: I love New York.

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 3: My wife and I are already, you know, since the

23
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: end of the season is inevitable at some point, we're

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: already dreading leaving. It's been a great year for my

25
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: family and I. We're just enjoying the city so much, and.

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: We love it. We love it so much.

27
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 2: I've got immediately now ask you about all the food

28
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: all your restaurant touring. Can you give us a favorite

29
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: a favorite too, a favorite type of cuisine that's available

30
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: in New York and maybe you didn't have access to

31
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: an Oakland just you know, pontificate about all your favorite

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: foods for a second.

33
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 3: I mean, this last off day, I went to per Se.

34
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: Earlier in the year, I went to Labernadanne and those

35
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: two are just special, special restaurants that that you don't.

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: You know.

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: San Francisco has that sort of too, but I think

38
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: there are just two special restaurants that are unique to

39
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: New York and they're just world class. And I appreciate

40
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: having that in my fingertips. And I also but I

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: also appreciate everything that is the New York food scene,

42
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 3: so like the casual restaurants, the bagels, the pizza, the

43
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: all that stuff. Having that at my disposal, it's just

44
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: really nice. It's we're talking about it earlier. My wife

45
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 3: and I just like how great it is having a

46
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: free afternoon and being like, where do you want.

47
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: To go eat?

48
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 3: We literally can eat anything there's everything here, so it's

49
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: a it's a special place.

50
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: We don't we don't take that for granted.

51
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 4: If there's one meal that you could eat for the

52
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 4: rest of your life, what would it be.

53
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: You know, I I like as much as I like

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: the fancy restaurants, it wouldn't be anything like that. I

55
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: think I like a fresh piece of fish. That's my

56
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 3: favorite thing, Like catch of the day, a nice whole fish,

57
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: maybe some tortillas to make some tacos, and and that's

58
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: I always tell people I could eat fresh fish every day.

59
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: Switching gears a little bit, talk about baseball now for

60
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: a few minutes. You've really indeared yourself to Mets fans

61
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: in your first year with the club girls having a

62
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: great year, but your positivity off the field and your

63
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: game on the field, specifically being such a grinder seeing

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: so many pitches, playing good defense, be having timely hits.

65
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: Whether you attribute your play style to or how, I mean,

66
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: just how'd you become the player you've become at this point.

67
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: Well, thank you for the compliment. I think this is

68
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: a baseball city and they appreciate the details behind the game,

69
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: and I consider myself a detail oriented player and a

70
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 3: detail oriented person in general.

71
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: And I you know, I.

72
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: Like to say that there's maybe not one particular thing

73
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: about my game that jumps off the page, but I

74
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: kind of do everything a little bit well. And I

75
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: take pride in in the well roundedness of my game.

76
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: And and.

77
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: You know, I kind of have the whole ideas that

78
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: I have to kind of create my identity is what

79
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: can I do to help the team win. It's all

80
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: about being a productive player and uh, a player that

81
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: winning teams want to have on their team, on their team,

82
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 3: and and and I think I've done.

83
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: A good job of that.

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: I've kind of It's been a it's been a long

85
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: journey to become this, and I'm proud of the player

86
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 3: I've become.

87
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,119
Speaker 4: The atmosphere in New York has been crazy. It seems

88
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 4: like all year, but it feels like especially the last

89
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 4: few weeks last month or so, same has been packed

90
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 4: every night. What's it like playing it from a full

91
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 4: sold out city field.

92
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: It's awesome. It's just awesome. So they give you so

93
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: much energy. It's you know, throughout the course of the year,

94
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: when you're playing so many games, it you need it.

95
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: You need that that little boost sometimes and you know,

96
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: it's been great.

97
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: Last night.

98
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: I hit that home run and it's my one hundredth

99
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 3: home run in my career, and they like gave me

100
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: no thanks, but they get you know, we're it's in

101
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: the middle of a ball game.

102
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: They just I go out there to play.

103
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: Defense and they gave me like a big ovation and

104
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 3: it just, uh, it meant a lot to me.

105
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: This will be probably an abstract question, but whether you

106
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: like more about New York the food or the atmosphere

107
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: at these games, you have to pick one. You either

108
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: played at the stadium, great food or pack stadium.

109
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 3: So I, I mean, I have boats, so I don't

110
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 3: have pictures, which is.

111
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: Truly of it.

112
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: But I I'd rather play in front of a full stadium,

113
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: to be honest, because that's that's my job, that's my passion,

114
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: that's my you know, we got to be out here

115
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: every day. I'm not out eating nice food every day.

116
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: I try to, but but this is where we are

117
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: every day, and and this is home and it and

118
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: it they make it feel like home.

119
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: So I love it here.

120
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 4: You made an adjustment to your stance recently, and it's

121
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 4: really been kind of plum or skyrocketing your game into

122
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: like a lot more production for the team recently. Was

123
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 4: there anything that really stuck out for you as to,

124
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 4: you know, making that adjustment.

125
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

126
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's it's so hard you make

127
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: adjustments all year. I've been making adjustments all year, and

128
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: I feel like all the other adjustments kind of worked

129
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: for a very short term basis and then they would

130
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 3: eventually taper off because they weren't real adjustments that were

131
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: it was kind of gimmicky things.

132
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: And then I finally found something now where I've.

133
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: Got results in a very short sample and it kind

134
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: of paid off right away, and that, you know, I

135
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 3: hope it lasts. I wanted to last. And I'm still

136
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: trying to figure it out, you know. Within within the

137
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 3: new stuff that I'm working on, is there's still stuff

138
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: to be discovered, I think every day.

139
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean there's definitely something there.

140
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: I think we can all agree, and it's just a

141
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: matter of like bottling it, like we say, like trying

142
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: to get a grasp on what that is. And I

143
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: think the limited head movement is is a big thing.

144
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: I always tell young kids, and keep your head still

145
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: as much as you can when you're hitting because that's

146
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 3: where your eyes are and you need to be able

147
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: to see the ball in order to hit it.

148
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: So you know, it's a good start. It's a good start.

149
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: For for my this new adjustment, and I'm hoping it'll

150
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: it'll continue to develop and continue to become even better.

151
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: We have a funny nickname for you on our show

152
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: just because it kind of exemplies a lot of things

153
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: that we've said about you in the past, that you

154
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: just you do every single thing well. Anohing particularly stands out,

155
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: but your game always stands above, and you always want

156
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: a guy like Mark Hanna on your emon in your lineup.

157
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: So we have nicknamed you market Cheerios because cheerios always

158
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: are always around. They're always good for you. They make
