Speaker 1: I love that intro. We usually do it and say
Speaker 1: hi in a little screen and here he is in person.
Speaker 1: You all star Max months to you with us. Good
Speaker 1: to see man. How is the trip?
Speaker 2: It was long?
Speaker 3: I got in you know with guy. I got into
Speaker 3: the hotel four this morning, So it's all right.
Speaker 4: You know, they couldn't have given you, guys like a
Speaker 4: nine am game to get you out here earlier.
Speaker 2: Your whole team is here. Eh.
Speaker 3: Well that's well they decided. What's the itinerary like for you?
Speaker 3: Uh well, I got this right now?
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then uh, eat some food and then do
Speaker 5: all this stuff with the hotel and then head over
Speaker 5: to the field.
Speaker 3: So it's not much, not much chance to lay down
Speaker 3: and rest.
Speaker 4: Is it too much for a first time or there's
Speaker 4: your third time? But is it too much and you
Speaker 4: can't handle it? Or is it like do people guide
Speaker 4: you through the whole process.
Speaker 5: I don't think there's I don't think there's such a
Speaker 5: thing as too much for our first time.
Speaker 3: You know that the whole experience is wonderful.
Speaker 5: You're you're gonna be tired by the end of it,
Speaker 5: But uh, it's hard, it's really hard to complain about it.
Speaker 5: It's a it's an awesome experience that uh you know,
Speaker 5: I hope everyone needs to enjoy it.
Speaker 4: Do they do the autographs at the hotel now or
Speaker 4: they still do them in the clubhouse.
Speaker 5: The last time I did it was still in the clubhouse,
Speaker 5: So it makes for it makes real longer at the
Speaker 5: clubhouse sign and all that stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because what people don't understand is you go into
Speaker 4: a room in the clubhouse and there's.
Speaker 2: Three thousand things you have to sign. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 2: it is just everything right.
Speaker 4: Wow's bats, jerseys, wine, ball anything they can come up with,
Speaker 4: and you just just like a production line.
Speaker 3: You just well, they they usually move all the furniture
Speaker 3: out of the clubhouse and they just filled that with tables.
Speaker 5: So uh, whatever they can put on the table, they'll
Speaker 5: they'll stick in there, and you got to sign it.
Speaker 4: You have to like, is there somebody that's like Max,
Speaker 4: I saw you skip to that box, or are they like,
Speaker 4: we trust that you're going to sign this stuff.
Speaker 2: We trust.
Speaker 4: There's a there's a lit like a roster, and when
Speaker 4: you're done, you strite your name off for each I
Speaker 4: mean each day, no for literally there'll be a box
Speaker 4: of balls or balls and there's a roster.
Speaker 2: When you're done, you just go go dark done. What
Speaker 2: would you change about this whole process that you'd be like, Man,
Speaker 2: this would get more guys to show up, This would
Speaker 2: get more guys.
Speaker 4: To not be exhausted after the two days.
Speaker 2: What would you change since you're a vet of this
Speaker 2: game now?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: I mean the thing that I would change, and it'd
Speaker 5: be tough to change, is you know, you add add
Speaker 5: like an extra day in there so that people can
Speaker 5: get somewhere or not. You know, we're not having five
Speaker 5: five am checkings, you know, because there was scenes that
Speaker 5: showed up after us last night. So you know, if
Speaker 5: there's any way to make it less exhausting, that'd be
Speaker 5: what I would change. I don't know how you do that,
Speaker 5: but you know, I think the answer is maybe just
Speaker 5: adding an extra day?
Speaker 4: Is it would it be better if you had the
Speaker 4: day before the All Star Game off for you physically?
Speaker 4: Or would you rather go I'm playing, I'm not even
Speaker 4: doing anything on Monday that my off deck.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's essentially what's gonna happen today is you know,
Speaker 3: well we'll have we'll have workout day.
Speaker 5: I guess you call it, but uh, uh, you know,
Speaker 5: there's not too many guys that we'll go through a
Speaker 5: full workout. It's more just to eat, to hang out
Speaker 5: with the guys, watch the home run derby, try to
Speaker 5: sign all the stuff you need to sign, and you know,
Speaker 5: just enjoy it.
Speaker 2: Did they ask you to the derby? I was never
Speaker 2: asked would you have done it?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have done it.
Speaker 2: You're tired or just going to ruin your swing or what?
Speaker 5: Uh the tired aspect and been healthy this year and
Speaker 5: I'm trying to keep it that way. You know, I
Speaker 5: don't want to have the recurring oblique injury pop up
Speaker 5: because I'm trying to swing too hard for no reason
Speaker 5: at all.
Speaker 2: You're spelled, no, that's why though. So you're more spelled
Speaker 2: than you used to. You are looks great, It looks great.
Speaker 4: Dairy Scott No onions, yes, onions.
Speaker 2: No, I've never heard of just like wait, wait, wait wait,
Speaker 2: there's home mon hitters. You don't eat. That's the key,
Speaker 2: That's what it is. He's like, I already got forty homers,
Speaker 2: I went sixty. Who do you think's gonna wedd that?
Speaker 4: If you're gonna watch it, or at least the beginning
Speaker 4: of it, maybe not the whole thing because it gets late.
Speaker 4: Who do you think, who do you think has the advantage?
Speaker 4: I mean one of the one of the hometown guys
Speaker 4: would be a safe bet. I mean, are you between
Speaker 4: shorebur or Harper? I think you know one of.
Speaker 3: Those guys is a pretty safe path for this one.
Speaker 6: Many people have this problem. I want to eat healthy.
Speaker 1: I have the willpower, I don't have the time and
Speaker 1: the organization.
Speaker 6: I need help. What do you do?
Speaker 2: I mean you go to Factor.

Speaker 2: But this is their first time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is their first time.
Speaker 2: Are they excited?
Speaker 3: And they're really excited?
Speaker 5: You know, my my daughter's more excited about dressing up
Speaker 5: for tomorrow than to anything else.
Speaker 3: But it's gonna be a good time. Do they understand
Speaker 3: like what this all is?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: No, But they don't need to. It's all right.
Speaker 6: I don't even tell them, like you say, where are
Speaker 6: we going?
Speaker 5: I mean, we tell them we're going to be also game.
Speaker 5: But did they understand it's special? But it still understand
Speaker 5: the full like exactly what it is?
Speaker 2: Right? Like how many?
Speaker 1: How few people get invited to this on the entire
Speaker 1: planet where anyone that's ever picked up the bat wants
Speaker 1: to be here?
Speaker 3: They don't grasp like, hey, this is well not personate
Speaker 3: spot and probably probably still a little too young to
Speaker 3: fully realize that.
Speaker 4: Do you pick out your outfit? You said your daughter
Speaker 4: is excited about the outfit? Do you pick out your
Speaker 4: own outfit and think you're gays?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: I don't pick mine out.
Speaker 2: Who picks it out?
Speaker 3: My wife?
Speaker 4: And is it going to match her? Or is she
Speaker 4: like I just want you to be playing so that
Speaker 4: I can it is? It is a plane design, but
Speaker 4: it matches her.
Speaker 2: Now do you have to start planning your outfit?
Speaker 3: Well, again, I didn't plan it, So when did she?
Speaker 2: When did she start planning?
Speaker 4: Come to you for some she's not good, gonna make
Speaker 4: you show up in something and say, Max.
Speaker 2: You have to wear this.
Speaker 3: A week and a half ago maybe so.
Speaker 2: You found out, Yeah, how did you get a suit
Speaker 2: that fast?
Speaker 3: We got a guy? Wow, it's a.
Speaker 4: That's true. That look that you have the right carpet.
Speaker 4: So I didn't care. What is jealousy right now? Because
Speaker 4: he went and met the pope I don't know if
Speaker 4: you heard, and he needed a suit and that's the
Speaker 4: second and that's the second time in the last calendar year,
Speaker 4: because he did the bb W as to do Drake
Speaker 4: Baldlin and he was like, I got to get this
Speaker 4: suck seed on this guy. So he's he's jealous. That
Speaker 4: was a look of jealousy because he wants people that
Speaker 4: have connections like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or you got to go to l A.
Speaker 5: There's plenty of people in LA that will make you
Speaker 5: a suit in a couple of days.
Speaker 2: That's the nursery in LA and Orlando. There's one of many.
Speaker 3: Yes, he Max.
Speaker 6: How excited were you for Robleski that he got the call? Oh?
Speaker 3: Pumped? Yeah, We're all pumped for him. You know, he's
Speaker 3: for us this first half and he's definitely deserved it.
Speaker 3: I know, maybe not as many strikeouts as people like
Speaker 3: for the All Stars, but he.
Speaker 5: Wins his games and ultimately, for me, I care about,
Speaker 5: you know, the wins, and that's the most important thing
Speaker 5: to me.
Speaker 2: He found out what two days ago?
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, yes, he might not have been able to
Speaker 5: get that might have been a quick turnround, but uh,
Speaker 5: you know, well we'll see what he's what he goes with.
Speaker 4: So does he send out someone shopping today at Philly
Speaker 4: to get something for tomorrow?
Speaker 2: I mean maybe maybe Oshanova took care of him.
Speaker 3: I'm sure. I'm sure Janma's got a guy that might
Speaker 3: have some there.
Speaker 2: Just just not just knock it out real quick. What
Speaker 2: was that like?
Speaker 4: Because you guys all found out, does Dave do something?
Speaker 4: Did somebody else on the team announce it in front
Speaker 4: of everybody?
Speaker 2: Uh? You know?
Speaker 5: Docele held a meeting in the clubhoufs team meeting and
Speaker 5: then he had all the folders and he just you know,
Speaker 5: gives a little speeches for each guy and hands out
Speaker 5: the folders and you know that that's actually a really cool
Speaker 5: moment for me because I had my son in the
Speaker 5: locker room during that moment, and you know, i'd I
Speaker 5: had asked Dave beforehand, say hey, sor right, Wyatt's in there,
Speaker 5: and so yeah, absolutely, and so when he when he
Speaker 5: called my name, he actually gave the folder to Wyatt
Speaker 5: and he wasn't he wasn't let anyone touch that.
Speaker 2: That was that was all his.
Speaker 6: That's cool.
Speaker 1: That's so one show. Hey, question for you. Did you
Speaker 1: see him going through this with me for the past
Speaker 1: month or so? Yeah, I mean he's it's been bugging him.
Speaker 1: You can you can clear it tell uh, but he
Speaker 1: he didn't let it bother him at all. You didn't
Speaker 1: let it affec him. He didn't use it as an excuse.
Speaker 1: But you know, when he's running the bases, you can
Speaker 1: you can see him and you can tell okay, and
Speaker 1: then roster question in terms of who's here. So two
Speaker 1: for you one Derby. Wise, we had Hunter Goodman on
Speaker 1: the other day. You faced him plenty, right. I think
Speaker 1: I don't know what he ended up with, but he
Speaker 1: was been like top three in Homers the whole year
Speaker 1: he is on with us. He's like, oh, I'm definitely well.
Speaker 1: We said you're definitely getting invited. I was someone like
Speaker 1: that not get invited. He's an All Star, is a catcher.
Speaker 1: He's on pace for like fifty homers.
Speaker 3: You know, I have no idea. I've no idea how
Speaker 3: that process works.
Speaker 5: I don't know who boy decided to ask, who they
Speaker 5: decided to talk to, Like how that comes about. You'd
Speaker 5: think it would just go off the top home run
Speaker 5: hitters and you know we're backwards from there, but apparently
Speaker 5: that's not how they do it. So I have no
Speaker 5: idea how they make those decisions.
Speaker 4: We talked about it the other day. They invited Cagli,
Speaker 4: who's not an All Star. I was asking a j
Speaker 4: because that was never a Big League All Star. Is
Speaker 4: it more awkward for the Big League All Stars to
Speaker 4: see a guy that's not in the All Star Game
Speaker 4: doing in my opinion, their marquee event outside of the
Speaker 4: game is the derby? Or do you think it's more
Speaker 4: awkward for Jack to come in or a players just like, yeah, whatever,
Speaker 4: come on, hit some driggers.
Speaker 3: Well I did it in eighteen and I wasn't an
Speaker 3: All Star, So.
Speaker 5: You know, I don't think it's too awkward for anybody. Okay,
Speaker 5: I mean, sten my experience, I didn't think it was
Speaker 5: because if you're the dirty participant, you kind of just
Speaker 5: show up right before the derby, so you're not involved
Speaker 5: in the entire day and so, you know, you just
Speaker 5: you just show up, you get the derby, and then
Speaker 5: you're out, and uh, you know, I so I don't
Speaker 5: really think it's that big of a deal.
Speaker 3: If you're not Bundy at all.
Speaker 2: The derby there are two s your uniform.
Speaker 4: You go to the cage and get loose or whatever,
Speaker 4: do your derby, and then since you're done, you're out.
Speaker 4: Sorry it's said, you know, it's you come in for.
Speaker 3: It's kind of a hassle. For the guy to come
Speaker 3: in for one day.
Speaker 5: For me, I didn't think it was that big of
Speaker 5: a deal because I was going to see family on
Speaker 5: the East Coast anyways. So but yeah, you come in
Speaker 5: for one day, really just one hour, get loose, try
Speaker 5: to hit some try to hit some bombs, and uh,
Speaker 5: see you later.
Speaker 6: Big second half of the season coming up.
Speaker 1: There might be a hot ticket, a rivalry series, a
Speaker 1: sold out experience they need to get your hands on,
Speaker 1: and seek is the spot for that. You can find
Speaker 1: good good pricing. They help you with the pricing green

Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 4: My argument is, I think they should have the best
Speaker 4: home run hitters on the planet. So the point of
Speaker 4: I don't care if you're an All Star or not.
Speaker 4: I want to see dudes that can hit dangers with
Speaker 4: the best of them. So we have even to the
Speaker 4: point of, like the winner of the triple a home
Speaker 4: run Derby, like bring in different aspects to the derby
Speaker 4: that we haven't seen.
Speaker 2: Is that too far?
Speaker 3: Well, they've always had the high school guys in between
Speaker 3: the rounds.
Speaker 2: Which I think is so cool when you're actually watching it.
Speaker 5: You know, I think I remember Blaze Jordan did it
Speaker 5: in twenty nineteen. Maybe yeah, I remember seeing him hit
Speaker 5: balls really sold in Cleveland, you know.
Speaker 3: And I think Bobby Witt did it in ten eighteen.
Speaker 2: Actually, oh they've had a lot. The high schoolers do that.
Speaker 5: It's like the halftime can have a show, right, And
Speaker 5: so I think in twenty eighteen Bobby did was one
Speaker 5: of the guys because I remember if I remember talking
Speaker 5: to them, you know, I lived not too far from them.
Speaker 2: They did on Friday.
Speaker 1: They know they do it to get the two finalists,
Speaker 1: and then the finalists participate in between.
Speaker 3: They kind of get to hang around the guys. It's
Speaker 3: really cool and it's fun.
Speaker 1: People get into it because you see like eighteen year
Speaker 1: rows that are hitting tanks, so it's cool.
Speaker 3: They got those juice metal bats. So it doesn't really count.
Speaker 4: But the kid for that playing with my son, that
Speaker 4: that was in it. So I don't know if he
Speaker 4: want I don't know how he did, but he was.
Speaker 4: I know he was in it, so I should probably.
Speaker 1: Reach out at the top two then he's in. I know,
Speaker 1: who are you most excited to spend a little bit
Speaker 1: of time? But is there somebody here? I know, I mean,
Speaker 1: you got to hang out with so much star power,
Speaker 1: you've been here before, but is there somebody here where
Speaker 1: you're like, Oh, I can't wait to see this guy
Speaker 1: and get to talk to him for a little bit.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just everybody.
Speaker 5: I don't know if there's one person in particular, but
Speaker 5: you know, I think it's it's just a cool experience
Speaker 5: that you're around the best in the game, and uh,
Speaker 5: you know, you get to be teammates with guys that
Speaker 5: you're not only teammates with for a couple of days,
Speaker 5: and to me, that's always a fun experience.
Speaker 2: Is there any worry in Dodger Land after this past weekend?
Speaker 2: Are you guys worried?
Speaker 4: No, we guys lost three games in a row. I
Speaker 4: mean I did get asked, how do you regain our confidence?
Speaker 4: Was one does one of the questions post game? You know,
Speaker 4: I made it, made a better so you have to
Speaker 4: answer about that. And you know, one, guys, how do
Speaker 4: you were doing your confidence after the break?
Speaker 8: And I was just like, yeah, exact, you know, I
Speaker 8: want you to answer that with sarcasm, right, Like did
Speaker 8: you see Paul Skins the other day when they asked
Speaker 8: about Ryanohr And he was like suffrage, suffrage she was
Speaker 8: you know, guys were on base and he's just killing
Speaker 8: rallies and all that.
Speaker 3: Like just because you get the same questions over and over.
Speaker 1: Do you ever either do that or have that thought
Speaker 1: where you're like, I don't know if we can regain
Speaker 1: our confidence after that three in a row to the
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks after two titles.
Speaker 2: And there's sometimes when it's.
Speaker 3: Really hard to not be super sarcastic about it. You know.
Speaker 5: One of the questions I did get asked was do
Speaker 5: you think guys were maybe looking ahead to the break
Speaker 5: too much?
Speaker 3: And it's really hard to not just say yeah, like
Speaker 3: it's like the last week of school, like, you know,
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 5: We're an older team, we were tired, and guys were
Speaker 5: ready for a couple of days off, so I mean.
Speaker 2: Probably like a fifteen game lead.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's just it's gonna be okay, guys.
Speaker 2: You know we can we can lease a game here
Speaker 2: and there. It's it's a it's okay, but you guys
Speaker 2: open second half New York, Philly, New York. Oh so
Speaker 2: you're just staying here though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got two weeks on the East coast, so nice.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 4: Well, the family stay out to yeah, Philly for New York, Philly,
Speaker 4: New York, back and forth, and then we have a
Speaker 4: DC trip mixed in on our on our great off day.
Speaker 2: Are you going to the White House? Yes, the whole
Speaker 2: team is going. Yes. Okay, that's what I mean because
Speaker 2: I saw our Keyk's thing the other day.
Speaker 4: Or he's not cute, I know, but it was rehab,
Speaker 4: but it became such a big thing.
Speaker 3: I mean that always becomes a big fin out exactly.
Speaker 2: But but the team is going. Yeah, and the men
Speaker 2: before right, Yeah, I don't care.
Speaker 4: I've been twice politics. I don't care about politics at all. Right,
Speaker 4: but when the President asked you, I don't care who
Speaker 4: the president. I mean, I was there when Bush was there.
Speaker 2: I got to go, and Clinton I got to get
Speaker 2: when Obama was there. They're both sides, right.
Speaker 4: If the President calls you and says, hey, we it's
Speaker 4: hard to say I'm going to pass an opportunity to
Speaker 4: go to like one of the most special places in
Speaker 4: our country.
Speaker 5: I mean, for me, it's a celebration of your team
Speaker 5: accomplishing the ultimate goal, and for me, that's something that
Speaker 5: I want to be there to celebrate with the team.
Speaker 5: It's not about anything else other than you know, you
Speaker 5: accomplish the ultimate goal and winning the World Series the
Speaker 5: previous year.
Speaker 3: What you do is you celebrate that as a team.
Speaker 3: You go and you meet.
Speaker 5: The President, and for me, that's really all it is,
Speaker 5: is just celebration of the team.
Speaker 3: And honestly, as simple as that.
Speaker 4: Is there a cooler honor like going to the White House?
Speaker 4: AJ just met the Pope, like shook hands with them?
Speaker 4: Would there be a cooler honor than those two things
Speaker 4: that you're like, because he's met every famous person. Is
Speaker 4: there somebody that you're like, we win the World Series
Speaker 4: this year?
Speaker 2: I want to meet that person or go to that point.
Speaker 2: I don't know. So you've done it all, l a man.
Speaker 2: Everybody every day?
Speaker 6: Yeah, people come through, you know, I mean who told
Speaker 6: us on the show?
Speaker 5: Everybody comes through at least at least once at home
Speaker 5: stand six o'clock in the locker room, they'll be someone
Speaker 5: famous walking through there.
Speaker 6: So it's Tuesday, just another.
Speaker 2: Day, all right? Yeah?
