1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: They don't necessarily want us to skip starts. There's gonna

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: be times where it may be a five or a

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: four inning start where you know they take you out early,

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: even if.

5
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 2: Your cruising.

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 3: As promised. Ryan Peppio kind enough to take some time

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 3: away from his day to join us here on foul Territory. Ryan,

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 3: it's great to see you. I'm bummed that I never

9
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 3: had the opportunity to cover you when you were in

10
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 3: LA when I was there, but I'm enjoying watching you

11
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: pitch now with the race. Tell me how that's been

12
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 3: going for you and kind of the biggest differences between

13
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 3: the LA Dodgers and the Tampa Bay Race, two very

14
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 3: different organizations, both having success.

15
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: Thanks guys for having me. Been following the show for

16
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: a long time, so it's fun, fun to hop on.

17
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: But going from.

18
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: Tampa or from LA to Tampa, it was a little

19
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: bit different. Obviously LA's major, major city and then Tampa

20
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: a little bit smaller.

21
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: But I love it.

22
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: It's been one of the best things that's happened to me.

23
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: The staff's been phenomenal with the guys over here in

24
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: the clubhouse are awesome, and they really just let me

25
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: be myself. And you know, pitch the way I want

26
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: to pitch. And then this kind of some minor tweaks,

27
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: nothing too crazy, but they just let you go out

28
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: there and be yourself and play how you want to play.

29
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 4: Ryan, first of all, thanks for joining us. But then

30
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 4: I want to know when they traded you for glass Now,

31
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 4: was it mandatory that one of you had to have

32
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 4: great hair? And you were the chosen one since they

33
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 4: got rid of great hair with glass Now, and then

34
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 4: they had to bring you back and say you have

35
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 4: to have the flow.

36
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: No, that wasn't one of the mandatory requirements. He's got

37
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: a little bit longer hair than I do. I actually

38
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: got to meet him this offseason, and awesome guy. But

39
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: I'll give it to him. He's got a little bit

40
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: better hair than I do. But Cash and Neander and

41
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: and Snyders.

42
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: Are really good.

43
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: When I got traded for when that trade went through,

44
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, we want you to be Ryan.

45
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 2: We don't want you to be Tyler.

46
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: He's phenomenal in his own right, but we're not asking

47
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: you to go out there and be him.

48
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: We just want you to be yourself.

49
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 4: Hey, none of those guys have hair, so you can't

50
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 4: really go to them for hair advice cash No or

51
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: none of them have hair at all. I don't think so.

52
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: No, they have a little bit, but they don't have

53
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: they don't have flowing locks outside the hat.

54
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, what's it like on Tampa Bay though, because

55
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay for years was, hey, we'll get our pitchers

56
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 4: through five innings, our starters, then we'll go to the bullpen.

57
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: This year, the.

58
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 4: Starters are going six, seven, eight innings. Are you like,

59
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 4: thank God, I get to pitch all the time, and

60
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: I get to pitch deep. Now, this is so much fun.

61
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: It is fun.

62
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: There's some times last year when when we go through

63
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: some of the games you'd be at like five innings

64
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: through like sixty pitches, super a fishing game, and then

65
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: they kind of pull you in and you're like, well, why,

66
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other underlying factors. You know, they

67
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: really take care of us and make sure that we're

68
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: good and healthy throughout the entire season so that we're

69
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: throwing our best in September and October when the games

70
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: mean more. But you know, coming into this year, our

71
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: pitching staff and especially the rotation, we're really close group.

72
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: So we kind of wanted to go into the season

73
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: to be able to prove that we can go deeper

74
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: in the ballgames save the bullpen, because.

75
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: We do have a really really good bullpen and those

76
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: guys down there.

77
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: We have full trust in all those guys, and we

78
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: want to keep those guys fresh so that they're not

79
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: at seventy eighty outings by the end of the regular

80
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: season go into the playoffs kind of taxed. So trying

81
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: to take some of the load off of those guys.

82
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: And you know, Lattel's got a CG this year and

83
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: he's holding.

84
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: It over all our heads. The rest of us have

85
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: gone close to.

86
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: Eight, so we know we're trying to knock down the

87
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: door and join Lttel with a CG. And you know,

88
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: kind of like play at old school wise, where you know,

89
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: it's our day to take the take the ball, and

90
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: it's our game until until we get taken out.

91
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, when you get your CG, I need you to

92
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 5: turn around to the bullpen and just salute them because

93
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 5: they didn't need to do anything the whole day. So

94
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 5: that's how you can hold it over those.

95
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: Guys exactly that, and you know, hopefully there's a you know,

96
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: six pack of beers in my locker afterwards something like that.

97
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 5: Okay, so you're at one hundred and one hundred and

98
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 5: two innings already. You had one hundred and thirty last year.

99
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 5: We talk about it all time with teams like the Rays,

100
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 5: teams like the Dodgers. When there's pitching injuries. You say

101
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 5: you're getting the most out of the pitchers, but you

102
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 5: know they're worried about these injuries. Do they ever have

103
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 5: conversations with you guys, especially just you starters, Hey, you know,

104
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 5: this is the inning limit that we want to get

105
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 5: to because you guys are a playoff looking team. You're

106
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 5: gonna pitch upwards to two hundred innings if you guys

107
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 5: make a deep run into the playoffs. Are they like, Hey,

108
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 5: we're a little concerned about this. We'd like to skip

109
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 5: a start, we'd like to put another guy in the rotation.

110
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 5: Do they talk to you guys about that.

111
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're pretty upfront with us about kind of the

112
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: innings management. I know, only through one thirty last year.

113
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: Kind of going into the season, you know, it's kind

114
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: of can shift the need a little bit, always add

115
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: a few more or taking you off. It's kind of

116
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: just down the stretch. Seeing they're always asking how we're

117
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: feeling between each start. They don't necessarily want us to

118
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: skip starts. You know, there's gonna be times where it

119
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: may be a five or a four inning start where

120
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: you know they take you out early, even if your cruising,

121
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: just to make sure that we're able to pitch all

122
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: the way through October. But they're very good at being

123
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: open and honest with us and having open conversations so

124
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: that it's not like out of left field kind of

125
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: get taken out of the game. We kind of have

126
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of idea if if there's gonna be

127
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: a time especially when you have some of these road

128
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: trips that we have coming up, or when you're playing

129
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: sixteen to twenty games in a row, they might call

130
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: somebody up, you know, give everybody an extra day or

131
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: something like that.

132
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: The curveball is new, Ryan, the cutter is new, the

133
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 3: fastball usage is a little bit down. But you're having

134
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 3: success with all of the changes. Why switch it up.

135
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: More and more times you pitched against the same teams,

136
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: there's more information out on you kind of teams have

137
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: a better game plan and you know, just add next

138
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: to wrinkles, just to have more tools in the toolbox

139
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: to keep hitters off balance, you know, slow them down

140
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: a little bit.

141
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 2: I've always tried with a curveball.

142
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: I just kind of never really found a grip that

143
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: really worked for me that I could consistently throw. So

144
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: even if it's a five to ten percent usage pitch,

145
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: it just slows hitters down and has something in the

146
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: back of mind that they have to think about. Cutter

147
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more for try to keep the ball

148
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: out of the left handed batters loop. And then I've

149
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: been working on a sinker as well, so it's not

150
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: necessarily like a down sinker, more of a two seam,

151
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: just kind of a runball to get on on the righties,

152
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: just so that they can't just sit on the heater

153
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: at the top of the zone.

154
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 5: I like that because you can't ever throw hard enough

155
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 5: right so you've got to be Now, I.

156
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: Don't throw a hundred you know, best bullets in ninety eight,

157
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: so I'm not you know Misrawski with the Brewers, who's

158
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: out there ripping one hundred and two every pitch, So,

159
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, just trying to add extra wrinkles to keep

160
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: the hitters off balance.

161
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 5: What a what a cage e vet. What a cage

162
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 5: e vet you are? Now, I got to ask you,

163
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 5: you hit on it a little bit. Your schedule obviously

164
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 5: they shifted y'all schedule around to be more on the

165
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 5: road later in the year. Have you guys, because when

166
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 5: I played for the Rays, they had a sleep specialist,

167
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 5: they had you know, they had whatever road trip planning

168
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 5: for each road trip and then what's coming up? Have

169
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 5: they changed anything because you guys are gonna be on

170
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 5: the road a lot, and they talk about a lot

171
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 5: of sleep choices, a lot of that kind of stuff.

172
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 5: Do they change anything in that sense because you guys

173
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 5: will be on the road a ton here because you

174
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 5: were at home a ton early.

175
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, July we have eight home games. In August, we

176
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: have eight home games.

177
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: We have a four city West Coast trip in August too,

178
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: so that won't be a long one. You know, I

179
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: don't even know how to pack for sixteen days, I think.

180
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: Is what it is.

181
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: But you know, we'll figure it out, find a laundromat

182
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: somewhere or whatever. But they've been talking a lot, a

183
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: lot of it early on during spring training was about

184
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: hydration and recovery, just about playing outside in the Florida

185
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: heat and the humidity, and especially we're playing day games

186
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: at noon at home now and those are they're warm.

187
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: To say the least.

188
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: But for sleep purposes, we have all the resources we

189
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: could ask for, and it's just about us going if

190
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: you need the help that you need, or if you

191
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: don't need anything, they're not going to force anything you

192
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: to do anything. But all the resources are there, and

193
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: it's really just about making sure we're taking care of

194
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: our bodies. You know, play a game, maybe have a

195
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: night game, get away and you get into the two

196
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: or three in the morning sometime and then you have

197
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: to play the next day. Just trying to do whatever

198
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: we can to just stay on top of the recovery

199
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: modalities and make sure that we're ready to play the

200
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: next day.

201
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 6: AJ we're in Vegas right now and I have not

00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 6: had a lot of time to eat during the day.

203
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: No, what could we do?

204
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 5: I could?

205
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 4: I would love a huel right now. Vanilla fuel would

206
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 4: go down perfectly because I'll have to skip meals because

207
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,120

224
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 3: Obviously, you guys are doing the best you can with

225
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: the situation with the hurricane and Tropicana not being there.

226
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 3: But how long did it take or is it still

227
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: a process of getting used to the stats and just

228
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: kind of how to maneuver a sign Brenner Field with

229
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 3: that as your home ballpark, it.

230
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: Took a little bit to get used to.

231
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: You know, you play in the trap and you have

232
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: seventy degrees, no humidity, no wind, and no other external factors,

233
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: and you know your game is getting played that day

234
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: and never have to worry about rain delay. You could

235
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: look up on the video board that shows all the

236
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: pitch data. You know, a lot of guys look up

237
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: in their radar gun checking. We're mostly pitch metrics checking.

238
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: So you know, you go into some of the games

239
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: outside and maybe the win's blowing out, maybe it's blowing

240
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: in your face or cross wind. It's gonna do something

241
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: different to the ball every single time. And after a

242
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: couple starts, we kind of figured it out. And then obviously,

243
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: you know some of the fly balls that get hit,

244
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: you're like, oh cool, that's just canicorned to right.

245
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 2: Nope, it's going over the fence.

246
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: You know, it took a little bit to get to

247
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: used to, but our hitters have also adapted to it

248
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: as well. And I've been smoking the ball out of

249
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: the ballpark and you know, giving us a lot of

250
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: run supports. So it's it took a little bit to

251
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: get used to, but we're making the most of the

252
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: situation and you know, we're we're the team like in

253
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: the city. But there's a lot bigger things that are

254
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: more important than us, which the hurricane took a lot

255
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: of stuff from a lot of people in the area,

256
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: So you know, we're just trying to be an exciting

257
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: team that people can gather and rally around.

258
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 4: Just have Westy do your laundry when you're on that

259
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 4: sixteen day trip. Just tell blest you drop a bag

260
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 4: off in Westy's office, and Westy's their travel guy. Just

261
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 4: have them just drop a bag off and say, AJ

262
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 4: told me to do that, you would do this for

263
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 4: me and you He'll do it automatically. I promise you.

264
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: I'll go.

265
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: I'll go around and take one of the big host

266
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: tell laundry carts and just go to everybody's room and

267
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: just stack a giant pile and then leave it at

268
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: his door. And then that's from you. So yes, I'm

269
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: sure he'll get it done. It'll be it may take

270
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: a couple days farm but it'll get done.

271
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 4: You'll also not be sleeping in the hotel, You'll be

272
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 4: sleeping in a ten outside. But whatever, you probably should

273
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 4: do that.

274
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 5: Nah.

275
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: You know, my wife likes to go on all the

276
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: road trips, so I'm gonna make sure I keep them

277
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: in his good graces smart smart.

278
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 4: All right, So you mentioned your schedule, and you mentioned

279
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 4: how they prepare and all this, all these things, and

280
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 4: you're at stein Binnerfield and you look ahead and see

281
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: when you're pitching. Do you ever look at the schedule

282
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 4: and say, all right, we're in Detroit. Who we missed

283
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: schoogle because oh man, we get three days of h

284
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,800

285
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,160

286
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 4: no schooble against me.

287
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: I got this pitching against school last year and it

288
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: was very entertained watch from the dugout. Yeah, that was

289
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: talked about yesterday when he was throwing that we're like, oh,

290
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: we get to miss him again. But you know, it's

291
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: always fun to go up against some of the best

292
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, and he's phenomenal and it's fun to watch,

293
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: as you know, as a pitcher, you go out and

294
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: watch him just dominate with all the different pitches and

295
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: throwing one hundred from the left side, and it's cool

296
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: to watch. And what he did last year and then

297
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: reciprocating it again this season. It's always enjoying enjoyable to

298
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: go out there and pitch against the best and you know,

299
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: toe the rubber and you know, compete against them.

300
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,239
Speaker 2: But I'm not complaining. I don't have to pitch against.

301
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 5: Them, all right, you're a three sport athlete in Indiana.

302
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 5: AJ will say Indiana is not a real real state.

303
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 5: But as a.

304
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 4: State, I mean it's a real state. I mean they

305
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 4: have they're in the state your fifty states.

306
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 5: I mean, it's a state. It's the country, it's the country.

307
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 5: He will say, it's not an athletic state. And pitchers

308
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 5: are not athletes. Where do you rank on the team?

309
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 5: Where do you rank on the team as far as athletes? God,

310
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 5: you kind of look at some of the guys like

311
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 5: you watch you watch Simpson around, You're like, dude, you're fast,

312
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 5: but I could probably do a lot of things better

313
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 5: than you.

314
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm not beating him in a forty yard dash. I'm

315
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: not beating him in the first base or stealing a base.

316
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to think I'm semi athletic. You know, I

317
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: played football. I played basketball. I mean from Indiana. It

318
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: might not be a state according to AJ, but from

319
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: Indiana you have to play basketball. But you know, I

320
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: like to go out there and shag and batting practice

321
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: and you know, get a little power shag in. So

322
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: you know, yesterday we ran out of people on the bench,

323
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: so someone had to be cleaned up and ready to

324
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: go if anything was.

325
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: An emergency, and that was me yesterday.

326
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: So you know, luckily I didn't have to go in

327
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: there because I knew the ball was coming right to

328
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: me no matter where I was out on the field.

329
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: You know, the ball away is fines you.

330
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: So I got to stand in there with cleats on,

331
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: ready to go, but I wasn't needed and.

332
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: We ended up pulling out a win yesterday. So win

333
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: win for the team.

334
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: But I don't know where I rank myself on the team,

335
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: but I'd like to put myself pretty high up there.

336
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, let's let's let's get one things rat.

337
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 4: Indian Indiana is a real state. I played in Fort Waite,

338
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 4: so I know it's a real state. Okay, let's not

339
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 4: let's not get Eric all trying to get me in trouble.

340
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 4: But I will say it does say something about Indiana,

341
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 4: or more maybe more specifically Indianapolis, that Lance Lynn is

342
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 4: the best athlete to ever come out of Indianapolis, So

343
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 4: maybe that's more of the point.

344
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: That's fine. Lance is a phenomenal athlete. The guy can

345
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: field the position and uh knows how to pinch uh

346
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 2: me spent.

347
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: I got to spend a lot of time with Lance,

348
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, also growing up and that we played. His

349
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: high school was in the same high school conference that

350
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: mine was, so I got to watch him when he

351
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: was with Drew Storn on the same high school team,

352
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: and then Tucker Barnhart went through the same school district

353
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: as well afterwards, so their team was very very good

354
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: to Washington I was growing up, and then getting to

355
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: play with him a couple of years ago was it

356
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: was really cool and really special. You know, he taught

357
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: me a lot and we still talk to this day

358
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: and consider one of my good friends. So it kind

359
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: of took me under his wing and it was it

360
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun to be around him. But yeah,

361
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: I'd give it to him. Or Keer Myers also from

362
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: from Indiana, from Fort Wayne area, so uh, I think

363
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: he got a little confiden.

364
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of athletes that you brought. A

365
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 3: good athletes that you just mentioned coming out of the

366
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: state of Indiana. Larry Bird didn't he go to Indiana State.

367
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, now, state. Yeah, there's some there's

368
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: some good athletes coming out of that state. All right,

369
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 3: So you're an Indiana kid living in Florida. Are you

370
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 3: more of a let's go play hoops guy, or let

371
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: me go to the beach guy.

372
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

373
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: I'd probably say go to the beach, but I can

374
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: only go there for about like an hour before I

375
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: get to sunburnt.

376
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: So you know, I'll go to the beach for a

377
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: little bit and then I and then I pack it

378
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: up and go back. I'd rather go on a golf

379
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: course than go shoot hoops.

380
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: Okay, what's your what's your handicap?

381
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: Like a five? Oh?

382
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 5: Oh okay, Like that's not there's no like a five.

383
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 5: It's either five.

384
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: Or it's but it's it's I can play on any

385
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: given day. I can play like a fifteen and I

386
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: can just start spraying it or I could I can

387
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: play like a scratch sometimes if I keep the ball

388
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: in play. But I'm definitely not the best on our team.

389
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: Curtis me it is our best by far.

390
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: He's like a plus two. In the offseason.

391
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: He lives up in Adelaide, Australia where the live golf

392
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: tournament is. That's his home course and he's shown me

393
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: all his rounds that he's shot under part there and

394
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: it's it's impressive. When we're out there playing golf with him.

395
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: You never won a gamble against him because he's going

396
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: to take your money every single time.

397
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: Do you take your clubs on the road.

398
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, they go.

399
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: I didn't bring him on this road trip. We had

400
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of day games in Minnesota and then we

401
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: go to Boston after this one. And I like going

402
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: around and hanging around in Boston, but on the road

403
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: most of the time, I take my golf clubs.

404
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, you got to figure out how

405
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 5: to pack for sixteen days. You got to pack your

406
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 5: wife's clothes for sixteen days. But your clubs are making it.

407
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 5: There's no doubt your clubs are making it.

408
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: Oh, they're making the trip. We have two off days.

409
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: We got off day in Seattle and off day in

410
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: San Francisco. They're they're definitely going.

411
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 5: Okay, So you so you you mentioned Tucker Barnhart and

412
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 5: all Indianapolis. Did you ever go to Indianapolis Indians camps?

413
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, all the time.

414
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 5: So Tucker Barnhart one time, just like randomly, I came

415
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 5: up to the bat and he was like, bro, I

416
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 5: used to watch you play at Indianapolis. So did you

417
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 5: ever see me play for the Indianapolis Indians when like

418
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 5: Andrew McCutcheon was there, Garrett Jones was there, Pedro Alvarez,

419
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 5: Brandon Moss, like that whole crew, Garrett Cole, all those guys.

420
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was on.

421
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 5: So you watched me play? It makes me feel good.

422
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: Yep, I've watched you play.

423
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: Actually, I've definitely watched you play because when Garrett Cole

424
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: is coming up, I would go sit down by the uh,

425
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: by the bullpen, right because you know it's on the field.

426
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: So right there, I'm talking. I was a little kid,

427
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: little little kid just sitting there just watching Garrett Cole

428
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: warm up.

429
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: So I was watching you warm up and catch him.

430
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

431
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 3: Oh that doesn't make you feel cold at all, right, Eric,

432
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 3: he was a little kid watching warm up. It's fine,

433
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: It's totally fine.

434
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: Heyre's there.

435
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm still I'm still like a nineteen ninety seven kid.

436
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: There's kids now, like two thousand and four in the

437
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: major leagues, and they really feel make me feel old.

438
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: Like me and I'm twenty seven, and I'm like, we

439
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: have junior.

440
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: Or Cameronaro just turned twenty two the other day and

441
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: he's hit twenty two homers or whatever so far this year,

442
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: And I'm like, dude, you're twenty two, what like, what

443
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: the heck?

444
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: Twenty two?

445
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: I was still in college trying to figure it out

446
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: how to throw a strike.

447
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Matt Holliday got or Jackson Holiday got called up

448
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: when he was twenty. I mean that you guys are

449
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: these are young young kids. Tell us about all the

450
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: charity work that you're doing. Ryan, I know it's important

451
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 3: to you and your wife. Tell us a little bit

452
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 3: more about reading with the rays and some of the

453
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 3: other things that you guys are doing in the community.

454
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 2: We've done a lot, you know, helped out a lot

455
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: with the hurricane. We stay local.

456
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: We moved to Saint Pete after the trade went through,

457
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: and so it really feels like home for us.

458
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 2: So trying to get back as much as possible. We

459
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: did the Ron.

460
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: McDonald house last week when we played the Rangers. Earlier

461
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 1: we were at Gg's Playhouse for the kids with down

462
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: syndrome with Jake Berger. I'm forgetting a lot of things

463
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: that I've done. But it's just been a lot of fun.

464
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: The people in Saint Pete and Tampa are phenomenal and

465
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, trying to give back as much as they

466
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: possibly can because the city's given us so much and

467
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: really raised us. And it's it's been fun, you know,

468
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: just trying to put a smile on people's face and

469
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: you end up walking out of the place with a

470
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: bigger smile because of what the hard work and the

471
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: trials and tribulations that some of these kids go through

472
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: that you see, and then they still show up with

473
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: a smile on the face after maybe going through some

474
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: some chemo or whatever they've had to go through during

475
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: the day, and they still have the energy to go

476
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: out there and play and hang out and it's really inspiring.

477
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 5: Brian.

478
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 4: Before I let you go, I have to ask, since

479
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 4: you now live in Tampa and you're from Indianapolis, Okay,

480
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 4: better steakhouse, Saint Elmo's or Burns.

481
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: I haven't been to Burns yet, but it's on my list.

482
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know, I haven't been to

483
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: Burns yet.

484
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 4: Well, you're just qualified.

485
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: I know I can't, but I will say sant Almos

486
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: phenomenal and I do love Growing up in Indiana, they

487
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: sell the sant Almos cocktail sauce at the grocery.

488
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 2: Store, so you always take to the parties.

489
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: And I don't know why any one would want to

490
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: eat shrimp cocktail in Indiana because you know, landlocked state,

491
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: where do they.

492
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: Get the shrimp?

493
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: But every every party that you go to or a

494
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 1: family get together, they'd always be shrimp cocktail. And then

495
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: you'd throw out the sant Almo sauce and sometimes you'd

496
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: want to.

497
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 2: Everyone would put the label of which one. It was

498
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: just so that everyone was prepared.

499
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: But you know, kid, you want to switch them and

500
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: you watch somebody just load up a shrimp with a

501
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: ton of sant Almo sauce and see their face afterwards.

502
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: So that was always entertaining. But sant Almos is pretty

503
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: tough to beat. Whenever I go back and try to go.

504
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 4: St Amos has two things going. For the reason you

505
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: don't care about the shrimp. They get them out of

506
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 4: that little river that runs through Indianapolis, whatever, that little creek,

507
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 4: that's what they pull them out of. But they put

508
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 4: so much horseradish in the Saint Almos cocktail sauce that

509
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 4: it burns your nose even if there was anything on it,

510
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 4: it kills it automatically. But yeah, they have the best drink.

511
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 4: That doctor pepper Cola thing they have. It's adult beverage.

512
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 4: They have at Saint Almos is delicious, and their New

513
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 4: York strip is unbelievable, but it's no Burns and Burns

514
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 4: has a dessert room. You probably don't eat dessert, you know,

515
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 4: you're probably shredded. But if you go to Burns, you

516
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 4: got to get the Chateaubrians, the French onion soup, and

517
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 4: then you got to go upstairs to the dessert room

518
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 4: and get like a piece of cake or ice cream

519
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,479
Speaker 4: that's like bigger than your head, and then you have

520
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 4: to eat it all. And then you waddle out and

521
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 4: you're like, all right, I can make it.

522
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: I can do that. We got the also break coming up.

523
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: I'll make myself a reservation that sounds like good night,

524
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: do it.

525
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 3: Teller to get here, you can probably just call and say, hey,

526
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 3: I'm Ryan Peppio, I want to get in. I'll get

527
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 3: you right in. I did that, and I went to

528
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 3: Tampa to see Morgan Wallen last year. When he canceled,

529
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 3: so we had a night off and Andrew Friedman got

530
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,239
Speaker 3: us into Burns and we did the dessert room and

531
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 3: the wine room. Ryan Peppio, you must check it out.
