It's like I got 542 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 6: energy on my fueled up and I was like accounted. 543 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 6: It was like eighteen hundred calories on my end, which 544 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 6: is really great for me right now probably forever, Bulk Broye, 545 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 6: but no, I feel great. So talking about WBC. Like 546 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 6: the players specifically that are playing. There's Showhe playing for 547 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 6: Team Japan, Yoshi also on Japan. And then we got 548 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 6: Edwin Diaz playing for Puerto Rico, I Sung Kim playing 549 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 6: for Korea, Smithy playing for the US. 550 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 5: Other players that had to pull out, like. 551 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 6: Mickey Roe, express interest, but they were deemed un insureble, 552 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 6: like him and Carlos Carea because I think their age 553 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 6: is at a certain age and they couldn't get insurance, 554 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 6: which is crazy. And I guess insurance didn't want to 555 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 6: insure them to cover in case something happens. I guess 556 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 6: I don't know how it works, like how baseball insurance works. 557 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: But and you got the Major League Baseball team's paying 558 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: them all that money. That's too bad. 559 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 5: Yeah.

Culture is like more individualistic. 602 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: Now we're talking ball and we're talking culture. This is 603 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: what global baseball is all about. Me in my new 604 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: hat traveler boy just back from Japan, summing things up, 605 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: Japanese culture is more, yeah, it's to our best right 606 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: and destroy them. Everyone does the best for the common good, 607 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: whether they want to or not. And they might like 608 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: internally resent it and feel this, you know, the strife 609 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: of that, but also they do it. 610 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 5: It works. 611 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: And yeah, USA is more every man for himself. 612 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 2: I mean that's so predictions for the WBC. 613 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 5: I think those are the two favorites, like always USA 614 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 5: and Japan. 615 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, what about the DR. 616 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 5: The DR is like the DRS, like the All Star 617 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 5: of All Stars. 618 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like they've so many good players. 619 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 6: But I think even in the DR, it's like they 620 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 6: haven't jailed as good as the other teams have. Tew 621 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 6: Mexico surprisingly last time. 622 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: He did really well US. 623 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 5: He did very very very well.

Is Randy playing Randy Rose Arena, He's gonna play. 626 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: I think Randy's interesting to tell people who don't know, 627 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: just like his he immigrated story. 628 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he immigrated from Cuba. 629 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a Cuban Revue. 630 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 6: Day Mexico, got Mexican citizenship, so represents Team Mexican. 631 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: So he plays for Mexicano. That's just a story. So 632 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: it's funny because he doesn't play for Cuba. Cuba has 633 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: a team. 634 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, he plays for Team Mexico.
