1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: He's a guy that the Royals have high host for. 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: He's their number one prospect. He is someone that they 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: want him to hit. 4 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,159 Speaker 2: Here we go. Let's talk about what really matters in 5 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 2: Kansas City this week, and that's the twenty twenty five 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 2: Royals Kansas City stars. Jalen Thompson joining us right now. Jalen, 7 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: great to have you on the show. Thanks you for 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 2: the time. 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 3: How you doing. 10 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: I'm doing good, guys. How are you guys doing? Thanks 11 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: for having me on. 12 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're great. We're great. So we're gonna cue the 13 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 2: storylines and get into a team that went from one 14 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 2: hundred losses two years ago into the postseason last year. 15 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 2: All right, let's jump into it. So these are the 16 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 2: four that we're gonna go through with Jalen right now. 17 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: One hundred plus losses in twenty twenty three, playoff team 18 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, and they did a little bit 19 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: of damage in the playoff to India. Spice Jonathan India 20 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: for Brady Singer thoughts, maybe more opportunities for Bobbywood Junior 21 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 2: to drive in runs. And then Jack Kags, the first 22 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 2: round pick from a year ago, could be coming to 23 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: the show soon and Bobbywood Junior finished in second place 24 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,919 Speaker 2: to Aaron Judge. Can he top them this coming season? 25 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 2: All right, let's start at the top. Do you feel 26 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: like they did what they needed to do this offseason 27 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 2: to make sure that they're a playoff team again? 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 3: Jalen. I think they did. 29 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: When you look at what the Worlds did last season, 30 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: they had a thirty win improvement, going from one hundred 31 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: and six losses in twenty twenty three to winning eighty 32 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: six games last year, making the playoffs, beating the Baltimore 33 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: Orioles and then playing against the New Yor Yankees, and 34 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: they were competitive in that aods against the Yankees. When 35 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: you look at what the Worlds wanted to do this offseason, 36 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: their key goals was to keep Michael Waka and really 37 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: strengthen that starting rotation, and they did that really early. 38 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: They got out in front of it, and they brought 39 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: him back on a really nice deal that fits not 40 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: only the player, but the organization as well. So you 41 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: have Michael Waka coming back with Cole Reagan's and Steth 42 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: bluego and then you go back and you get a 43 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: Michael Lilrenzen. Now you have four all stars that are 44 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: in that starting rotation. In going with the offense, you 45 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: have Bobbie Wider, as you guys mentioned, Bennie Pasportino, Salado Prez. 46 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 1: They still wanted to add to that, and we know 47 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: we're talking about it with Johnathan India coming up soon. 48 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: But I think the cohesiveness of this team is something 49 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: that can really help them. Because they went to the 50 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: playoffs last year, they learned as a young unit what 51 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: it takes to get there. Now their whole thoughts this 52 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: season is let's go back and let's go further. 53 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 4: How's the swap of Brady Singer and Jonathan India really 54 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 4: gonna pan out? Because Singer was super reliable inning zeer. 55 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 4: But does this mean Bobby Witt might have a million 56 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 4: or a million and a half RBIs. 57 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: It might be a million and a half and a 58 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: couple more. Honestly, looking at what Bobby Wait Jr. Can 59 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: do on the field, I mean second thirty thirty season 60 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: last year, the first player first Church Stot to pretty 61 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: much do that, and then to have the ability to 62 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: continue hit at least twenty home runs his first three 63 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: years in the big leagues. He can He's a five 64 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: to a player in every sense of the word, and 65 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: now you're saying you're going to put someone like Jonathan 66 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: India in front of him, which the Royals they kind 67 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: of struggled with that Leos spot last year. That was 68 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: a big point of instance this all season. I believe 69 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: they had like five or six guys that they tried 70 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: in that Leos spot and nothing really stuck. So now 71 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: you're having Jonathan Idia come in, and he's a guy 72 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: that had twenty eight doubles last season, and as you 73 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: guys know those power alleys at Kaufman Stadium, that number 74 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: can definitely be sustained or it might even go up 75 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: some depending on how well he's going at the plate. 76 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: So they have someone that can be on first base 77 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: when Bobby Blay Junior steps into the box. I think 78 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: that would be key for the Roles to starting off 79 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: the game with more run production. And then doubt only 80 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: helped the starting pitching staff as well. And I know 81 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: you mentioned Brady Singer. That was a move where the 82 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: Royals felt they had depth in their rotation and they 83 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: knew that if they wanted to get a leadoff hitter, 84 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: they targeted Jonathan Ny as the guy that could do that. 85 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: And the rescue of the pitcher, So it just kind 86 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: of made sense to swap those two former Florida Gator teammates. 87 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 4: We're going to talk about another Florida Gator, Jack Cackleon. 88 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 4: When's he gonna be there? He got his first year. 89 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 4: Last year, he dug in, he got to play in 90 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 4: the Fall League, got a nice Fall league. He's not 91 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 4: a two way guy. I know people say that. Listen. 92 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 4: I watched him a lot in college. He's not a 93 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 4: two way guy. So I know it says on here, 94 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 4: will he let him hit and pitch? I hope they 95 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 4: don't let him pitch. He just needs to go up 96 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 4: there and hit forty for the Royals. But when do 97 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 4: you think that we'll see him? Is he on track 98 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 4: to possibly see him this year? 99 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 3: Yeah? 100 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: And first and foremost, Aj, it's cool talking to you. 101 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: I was a Braves fan growing up, so I watched 102 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: you when you came over to the team. So really 103 00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: great to do that. 104 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah, for sure. 105 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: Going back to Caglion, he is a guy that the 106 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: Royals have high hopes for. He's their number one prospect. 107 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: He is someone that they want him to hit. That 108 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: is what they drafted him for. They really love his bat, 109 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: and they really were excited about what he did in 110 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: the Arizona Fall League when he hit those five home 111 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: runs in twenty one games. He really showed that he 112 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: could hit advanced MLB pitching. So he knew that they 113 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: knew that he's a guy that they would like to 114 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: see continue to hit moving forward in his career, and 115 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: that's where they have him at. They haven't shut the 116 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: door on him potentially pitching, but that was something that's 117 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: gonna come down the road if that is the case 118 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: for him. But for right now, he's going to be 119 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: a hitter. Rows General manager Jiji Piccolo. He said at 120 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: the recent Roles rally at the stadium that he is 121 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: is gonna hit. They're gonna potentially if he's going to 122 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: make an impact on the MLB roster, he might have 123 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: to work on his defensive skills and that he might 124 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: see some reps in the outfield if he continued to 125 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: progress and come along. But right now, he's going to 126 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: be a hitter, and that's what they wanted to be, all. 127 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 4: Right, So we got to hit him with here. I mean, Bobby, waitit, 128 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 4: Junior is something that nobody will ever remember. Unanimous second 129 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 4: MVP voting like, that's not what you're really looking for. 130 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 4: Does he take the next step and top the list 131 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 4: this year or is it something that you know until 132 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 4: Judge leaves, Bobby Wit doesn't win anything. 133 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: I think if it was any other year, I think 134 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: Bobby wood dream would have been the al MVP last season. 135 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 3: But you can't discredit what Aaron Judge did. He had 136 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 3: a historic season. 137 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: Those fifty eight home runs, those one hundred and forty 138 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: four RBIs hitting over three hundred. I mean, that was incredible. 139 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: So you got to give credit where it's due with 140 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge. But what I told people and what I 141 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: really thought last season was Bobby Wood Drinan can do 142 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: what he did in twenty twenty four pretty much in 143 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six and beyond. He's just 144 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: that kind of talent and it's not out the realm 145 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: of possibility that that could be the baseline for him. 146 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: So if he can take his game to another level 147 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, I don't see why he can't 148 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: be in discussion for winging the al MVP. This guy is, 149 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: like I said, he's incredible at all aspects of the game. 150 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 3: You when you watch him on a day to day basis. 151 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: You see even just the skill set, how he rounds 152 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: the basis, how he goes from first to third. Those 153 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: things are kind of uncanny and can't be taught, and 154 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: Bobby just has that. And then he's continuing to develop 155 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: as a leader in getting more mature as he continues 156 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: to go through his MLB career. A lot of advice 157 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: and help has come from Salvador Perez, who's the captain 158 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: of the Royals, and Salvias said it himself, sometimes let 159 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: Bobby take the lead and you know, help go through 160 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,119 Speaker 1: some things in the locker room, because you know, he's 161 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: the guy, He's the one that they want out front 162 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: and center. And I think Bobby has really embraced that. 163 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: He's always so pleasurable with the media and everything like that. 164 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: So I believe that if there's a year for him 165 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: to win the al MVP, it definitely can't be. 166 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty five bonus questions for you, Jalen, Let's do 167 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: some quick hitters and try to get through as many 168 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: fancues as possible. So here's Ricky said, Well, Lorenzen be 169 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: a two way guy. I think this one can just 170 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 2: be an easy yes or no answer. I'm assuming that 171 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: they're not gonna let him hit, are they? 172 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 3: No? No, he's gonna kiss this year? Okay? 173 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: And then Michael says, care to ask if Brady Singer 174 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 2: was the only starter floated? Were there any other names 175 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: being shopped this offseason. 176 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure the Royals probably looked at all aspects of 177 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: their team, but Bray Singer was the one that they 178 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: settled on. 179 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 2: I have one for you. And then I think there's 180 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: one more fan question than AJ will finish. Anthony Santander 181 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 2: was a pursuit, a late pursuit this offseason. R Ken 182 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 2: Rosenthal reported on it. How much do you think they 183 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 2: needed a guy like that for their outfields? And what 184 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: did it say about what their plans were when they 185 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 2: pivoted to Carlos Estevez? Clearly that was the guy. They 186 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: didn't feel like there was going to be anyone else 187 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: in that range to their liking. I personally thought they 188 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 2: should have pivoted to Jerks and Profar. I know he's 189 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 2: not the power guy unless you're buying exactly what he 190 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 2: did last year, but do you think it would have 191 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 2: been a nice fit for that outfield? 192 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 3: What about you? 193 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 4: Yeah? 194 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 3: I both. 195 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: I thought that both of those guys could have been 196 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: a good fit as well. But the Rolds really wanted 197 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: was someone in the mild that order that could, you know, 198 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: have some power, be an impact back when you get 199 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: past Bobby Bobbie with Junior Ni Fast, Martino, Salade Perez. 200 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: You want someone that could hit in that five or 201 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: six range, and they couldn't find that. 202 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 3: You know, they they talked about it openly. 203 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: JJ Piccolo said, they tried, they were active, but you know, 204 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: you can't make a trade with teams that don't want 205 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: to trade their own players, so, you know, and as 206 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: with Santander in Profar, they they had other commitments that 207 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: they wanted. I think I read somewhere where Profar wanted 208 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: to be either with the Padres or the Braves. So 209 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,719 Speaker 1: there's nothing you can really do about that if that's 210 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: where he wants to go. So the world's definitely try. 211 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: And you know, that's not to say that they probably 212 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: won't team to keep trying depending on what happens in 213 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: spring training or what happens during the middle of the season, 214 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: but right now they're content with what they have. 215 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 2: That's true. Profar as big Braves guy, I did read 216 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 2: about that as well. They've got a good connection with 217 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 2: you know, certain international players like curo Us. Out's a 218 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 2: big connection for them. Okay, last fan question, and then 219 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 2: AJ will finish here. Ricky says, will Joey Weimer get 220 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 2: a chance to start in the outfield? Could be a 221 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 2: cheaper renfro option. 222 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're really excited about Joey Weimer. They're gonna look 223 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: and see what he can do this off seat. I 224 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: mean in spring training. You know, they they acquired him 225 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: for a reason. So he has a lot of skill 226 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: sets that if he can put together, he could be 227 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: someone that could draw some starts in their outfield. Because 228 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: Rose manager Matt Putreal he loves to be versatile and 229 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: move people around, so that's what he's going to do 230 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: this season. So I wouldn't put it out of the 231 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: question to see Weimer get some starts out there. 232 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 4: All right, all right, I got I got three questions 233 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 4: to finish with you. One on the Royals, Not on 234 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 4: the Royals. One, how's their stadium coming? I haven't heard 235 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 4: anything about it since kind of the beginning of last year. 236 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 4: Has that started? Have they already started the process to 237 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 4: build the new stadium? Because remember that was why they 238 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 4: said they spent money. 239 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: They haven't started the process to build a new stadium yet. 240 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: They're still trying to have discussions about where the new 241 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: stadium will potentially be. They had a vote last year 242 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: where it didn't go through, so they're trying to just 243 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: see where it's the best spot to put this new stadium. 244 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: But they do want to build one, and they are 245 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: still working hard to try to figure out where exactly that's. 246 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 3: Going to be. 247 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 4: Okay, got it. And then my next one is, since 248 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 4: I know you're you're an Atlanta transplant cobras. By the way, 249 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 4: in case no one's ever seen this, I was a 250 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 4: zombie babble head once. That's how much they loved me 251 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 4: in Atlanta. They made me a zombie but for the 252 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 4: walking dead, so they made me a walking dead guy. 253 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 4: Are you rooting for the Chiefs this weekend in some 254 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 4: game they're playing in or are you're rooting for the 255 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 4: Crats as Eagles e L G L E s By 256 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 4: the way. 257 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: Well, I'm a Falcons fan. I'm Atlanta Falcons fan, so 258 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: I know pain and no heartbreak. But living in Kansas City, 259 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: I think you have to go with the Chiefs. And 260 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: I think it's a it's gonna be a cool story 261 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: if they can get this three p. It's never been 262 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: done in the Super Bowl era, so I think the 263 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: Chiefs are gonna take it home. 264 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 4: No, I got one more, one more, one more, sorry, Jalen. 265 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 4: How's your driving? Can you drive a stick shift? 266 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 1: I never drove a stick shift in my life. I've 267 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: been automatic, So. 268 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, no, no, no, wait, this is going somewhere. 269 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 4: Have you ever been pulled over for reckless driving? 270 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 3: Let me ask you that no, never has done have 271 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 3: done that? 272 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 4: Are you sure? Because I know what fan you are, 273 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 4: and every single person that I know, Okay, that's a 274 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 4: Georgia fan. Guess what they get. They get pulled over 275 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 4: for reckless driving, So be careful in Athens people. 276 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: That's true, that is true. But Georgia did win, and 277 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: they have beaten Florida a whole bunch of times this year. 278 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 4: The thing is a turning, The time is a turning. 279 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 3: It's turning. 280 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 4: Turn. 281 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: AJ was gonna start telling us about all the players 282 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 2: that got in trouble during the tea baure and just 283 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: start running through all the. 284 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 4: Did you watch the thing they did on Netflix?

It was the perfect all right, right, 286 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 4: right right. 287 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 2: Sure, well, Jalen, if you do, we'll finish with this. 288 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: If you do learn stick shift. AJ is letting anyone 289 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 2: that learns stick shift borrow his car for one day. 290 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 2: That's what we learned earlier in the show. It's a 291 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: really random thing, but it's popped up and it's become 292 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 2: very popular. 293 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 4: So we'll both take. I didn't say which car though, 294 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 4: I didn't say which car you could borrow. 295 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 3: That's fine, that's fine. 296 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 2: We'll take a crappy car. Jail and I aren't rich. 297 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 2: We're not complaining or unless I don't know something, but 298 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: case okay, I don't pay that well, Jayalen, great to 299 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 2: have you on here for the first time. 300 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 3: Hope you had fun. 301 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: You were awesome man, great pace, and thanks for running 302 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 2: through the Royals with us. 303 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 3: We'll see you during the season.
