Speaker 1: So we're going to try to paint the picture of

48
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: what Tim Buss meant to our culture because from the

49
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: outside looking in, it's hard. It's really hard to tell,

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: like he was our strength coach, right, how much can

51
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: a strength coach really mean to a team? And hopefully

52
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: throughout this episode we could really paint that picture. Startling

53
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: spring training, bus Man in there and Buss, he's doing

54
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: these pre spring training skits, right, And there was a

55
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: picture I saw of you in the full green suit, uh,

56
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: coming out of vans. There was one time where in

57
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: spring training we were shooting him with paintball guns.

58
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: He's running.

59
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: I think he's just in a jockstrap.

60
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: Right. It was for charity.

61
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: It was for charity, of course, it was always for charity.

62
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: But we we had these stretches and before spring training,

63
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: Bussy would call the meeting and he would just talk

64
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: about stories and over the years, who put something on

65
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Twitter the night before It was called the ball Bag

66
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: of the Day. And this started with Darwn Barney, right,

67
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,000

00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: bag of the day story.

69
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was just you know, if you do something stupid,

70
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: then we're going to call you out and everyone's gonna

00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: And so do you.

00:03:58,960 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: Remember a good ball bang?

00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: I remember a lot of good ball bags.

76
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,400

Speaker 4: dollars Ferrari and put eighty seven octane when he fuiled

78

00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 4: the pistons and it sat in the players parking lot

80
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 4: for the rest of spring training. No way, never, yes, yes, way,

81
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,160

Speaker 3: Than you.

110
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: Bussy and I we would sit on the plane together.

111
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: I would always go up and sit with him and

112
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: just we would tell stories. We'd enjoy the playing rides,

113
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: and we became like brothers.

114
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: And when.

115
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: We would get to cities, him and I would always

116
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: go the next morning to work out at the gym.

117
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: We go to a regular gym and Forbes and Stanwick's

118
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania is so monumental to us because on

119
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: that corner of downtown Pittsburgh at Forbes and Stanwick's, you

120
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: see everything, and there was a gold gym there. I

121
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: don't know if it's there anymore, but we go work

122
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: out in gold gym.

123
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: We've been in tank tops, just do it.

124
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 3: We all had main highlighter colored tank tops like pink

125
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: blue and bright yellow from the Gold gym down there, yep.

126
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: And we went there before the playing game the playoffs

127
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 4: against the Pirates.

128
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, front and we had those and Riz had

129
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 5: to eat at Modes every time, welcome the most every time.

130
00:06:59,760 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

131
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 4: So we go in there and be like they didn't

132
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 4: really say walking low's this time loud enough.

133
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 1: But those those times for me were like therapeutic because

134
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: like we would just go and talk to shit. We'd

135
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: be away from the field and we would just talk baseball,

136
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: we'd talk life and at some point what would I

137
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: do what? Our warm up was always on the treadmill.

138
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: I said it all the time. I lived my life

139
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: at a two point five, so I'd always warm up

140
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: on a tremill out at two point five. You never

141
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: want to get higher, you never want to get lower.

142
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, just start the walk. That was some of the

143
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 3: best that routine here with us, we're stead of looking

144
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: back for some of my favorite times because it got

145
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 3: me out of bed. On the road we went and

146
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 3: just moved around. Never crushed it, crushed it. He was

147
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 3: playing every day, so it's great for him and I

148
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: love the just the camaraderie. And I was joking around

149
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: having lunch after that and going back and.

150
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just with the boys type stuff where we

151
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 4: get up and move around, and we.

152
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: We'd move around there in Pittsburgh, and then in Cincinnati

153
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: we would go to like these random gyms, right and

154
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: then there there was this little diner down below. It's

155
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: called Anne Hathways, Hathaways, Halthways.

156
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: I love Anne Hathaway.

157
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: But Hathaway's diner. It's a real old school diner in Cincinnati.

158
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: Good food, good people watching. It's like a little small underneath. Yeah,

159
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: that's a greasy smooth And Bussy was mad at me

160
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: one day and he's talking. She's like, you know how

161
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: many fucking people I brought fucking Hathways and I brought

162
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: fucking Joe Girardi. He starts listening off names. I think

163
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: he all pissed off of me because I don't know,

164
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: we were talking shit. But it was these little moments

165
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: that formed this brotherhood. And let's get into the sixties season.

166
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: What when did you know that that team was as

167
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: special as we all thought it was?

168
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: Well, it was special the whole way through.

169
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 4: I didn't realize like, holy shit, we're gonna win until

170
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 4: you guys did what you did against the Giants in

171
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 4: that in that game, and sooo.

172
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: Oh okay, okay, okay, yeah.

173
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 4: So in sixteen, you know as far as you know, like,

174
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 4: holy shit, I have a chance of winning. Gosh, you

175
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 4: just went through the whole year. You guys are so awesome,

176
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 4: and we grinded. I mean every day it was a grind,

177
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: but uh, to know that you guys were maybe gonna

178
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 4: win was was then. I do remember, you know, like

179
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 4: when ROSSI, Lester Lackey and when these dudes came in,

180
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 4: And the one thing that sucked for me was listening

181
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 4: to everyone come in and saying, uh, you don't you

182
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 4: don't know what it takes to win. You know what

183
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 4: it takes to win, and and I I felt like

184
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 4: I was a winner, but I really wasn't.

185
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 3: We went through a lot of losing.

186
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 4: Went through a lot of losing. You know, we won

187
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 4: some games and we you know, won some.

188
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: Some good teams. Yeah yeah, yeah, but not finishing.

189
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 4: But to be a winner and finish, and that's what

190
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 4: you preach when you came in. It's like you don't

191
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 4: know what it takes to win. And so when I

192
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: when I took myself and sat back and went, you

193
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 4: know what, I need to listen and just embrace everything

194
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 4: that you're bringing to the table. You won Leicester one,

195
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 4: you guys won. Let me take that in. And once

196
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 4: I did that and realized everything I could learn from

197
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: you guys, and then knowing like after that game in

198
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 4: San Francisco, that last inning, I was like, holy shit,

199
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,839

288
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 4: a guy we know now.

289
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: But that's what we was funny, like minding your relationship

290
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 3: and knowing you and then we're trying I was like,

291
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: we're not rehabing guys at the show, trying to get

292
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 3: ready for a game. But that was like our team.

293
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: We would we would tell everybody fuck off. Absolutely, we're

294
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: talking about it. We talked about with bores, talking about.

295
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: Well when they when it came time to play, we

296
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: were funny strapped it, yeah, let's go.

297
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: Because we were all honest and upfront with each other,

298
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: like you, we didn't let we made fun of anybody.

299
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 3: If you got a line like that's your your superpower

300
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 3: has always been like you can get in there with

301
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: guys and dig and you make fun of yourself, but

302
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: make fun of them and everybody's laughing and loving you

303
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 3: for it, and it kept everybody honest. You know, it's

304
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 3: such a superpower.

305
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: We we every stretch before we went out for batting

306
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: practice or on the field, we would all get together

307
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: and Bussy would pick two guys or one guy, whatever

308
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: it was. And that year it was like, if you

309
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: say something negative about someone, because it's so easy to

310
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: go negative, you have to go what positive too positive?

311
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: So anytime you go negative, are two positives.

312
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: Two positive for every negative.

313
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: So we would he would start. He had this ultimate

314
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: feel of like the ebbs and flow of a season

315
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: of players, so he would know where guys were at

316
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: mentally and physically because he was so in tune with everyone,

317
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: so he knew when to pick on guys for that

318
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: little players huddle and be like, all right, say it

319
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: was me, uh Tony Rizzo blah blah blah, say some

320
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: good things about me, and then he would make everyone

321
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: in the circle say something nice or monumental about that player.

322
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: And it it was one of those things during that year.

323
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 3: What did we call that? What was it called? Circle? True?

324
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 3: What do we call it?

325
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: Well, it was just the circle of trust hru.

326
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: Okay, we called it something, but Bussy would be the

327
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: ringleader and all that and what that different guys over

328
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: the years, Like we're struggling. You sometimes you feel like

329
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: you're on an island and then you have you know,

330
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: you're eight seven to ten guys that are out there

00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: myself again today, Well you did that for me.

334
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember, like I, I cry

335
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 3: every time I talk about this, but I Game seven,

336
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 3: I was out there and you had the whole team

337
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,879

00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 3: what you love about ROSSI say one nice thing about

340
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: ROSSI and it just like, you know, I remember crying

341
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 3: in that circle because everybody, you know, dudes don't tell

342
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 3: each other their feelings. But that was special to me.

343
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 3: That was a that was a that was a one

344
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 3: of my favorite things about that season was that day

345
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 3: and your your peers telling you cool shit to you.

346
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,080

347
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,359

348
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 4: guys are so awesome and it's like you don't think

349
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 4: that anything bothers you. And so when you hear something positive,

350
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 4: you guys, especially nowadays, and you don't hear, you know,

351
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,560

00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 4: hear how people actually feel about you, like to hear

353
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,199

Speaker 3: with spring training you all like nobody was ever late

401
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: because everybody's out there can't wait for you to start

402
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: the fact that the strength guy started without stretch with

403
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 3: just you know, some kind of joke. You let my

404
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 3: son run. My son ran his whole I got it

405
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 3: on video. My son did a stand up routine for

406
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 3: his talent show at school and he was like fourth

407
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 3: grade and he was telling Bussy all he was out

408
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: there for spring break and he was telling you in

409
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 3: your office and you're like, you're running stretch today, And

410
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 3: he got out there and had the whole games rolling.

411
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 3: I got it on videos for my Fairit videos.

412
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: I pulled it up. It was crazy, Bussy. Bussy was

413
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: so good at like when you were dark. He knew

414
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: off the field you needed like a little bit of

415
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: a release, so.

416
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: He would be you. You can count him for everything

417
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 2: you take him. You take you out.

418
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: Literally prior whole sixteen roster has been out with you

419
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: and had a good night with you to not take

420
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: life so serious because what we were doing was break

421
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: We're breaking a curse there. Yeah, And the pressure, as

422
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: much as we say it didn't get to us at times,

423
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: it weighs heavy on everyone. The jersey wasts heavy at times.

424
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: And your ability to bring guys together, to bring them

425
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: off the field, to know when to go in when

426
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: not to go in was the best feel I've ever

427
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: seen in the game. And it's a lost art in

428
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: the game with chemistry and camaraderie, and I can say

429
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: with confidence that you were the absolute best at it.

430
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 2: Waterworks.

431
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 3: Let's let's let's get into like I want to hear

432
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: you talk about your experiences being in the game for

433
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 3: so long, being on a World Series team, but also

434
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 3: a lot of losing before that, like a lot, a

435
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: lot so so and so winning in there, and you've

436
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: seen winners. What do you look for now in players

437
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 3: that are like that guy's a winner, guys a winner

438
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 3: and going through the tough time, Like, what are some

439
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 3: of those traits that you've seen in players?

440
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 4: So I think before you guys came here, we had

441
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 4: lost like nine or twelve straight playoff games in that row.

442
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 4: I mean it was like nine win won a playoff game.

443
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 4: And I remember even Ted Lilly, you know, beat the

444
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 4: ship off of a water pipe at Dodger Stadium because

445
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 4: he was supposed to pitch the next day. And we

446
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 4: got beat and we were flooded out. The whole dugout

447
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 4: and locker room was flooded out. So I to go

448
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 4: around and watch Lily Cuckoo for Coca puffs. But no,

449
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 4: I you know, there was a lot of a lot

450
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 4: of losing, you know, until you win, so you only

451
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 4: you know, you only win one time, unless you're a

452
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 4: two time winner or three time winner. But as far

453
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 4: as players see, you guys never I did you know

454
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 4: we'd had players in there that had talked about the

455
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 4: curse and about not winning. We had we had I'd

456
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 4: heard that. When you guys came in, no one talked

457
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 4: about it. You just talked just talked about winning. And

458
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 4: it was like a winning mentality. And so with THEO

459
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 4: and the rickets and like it just so happens. It

460
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 4: all worked out where they built this new, huge complex

461
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 4: and everything was more professional and pro and you had

462
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 4: a great weight room, you had a great gatorade station

463
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 4: and all that, and it was like it just kind

464
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 4: of went you know, arm in arm and to listen

465
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: to be able to listen to guys that that have won.

466
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 4: I never won, So when you came in, it's like,

467
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 4: how can I tell someone what to do and what

468
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 4: it takes to win. But at this point, when I

469
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 4: go to sleep every night, I put my head on

470

Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah because of you guys.

472
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: We the stories that's coming to my mind is when

473
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: we were in New York.

474
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: When we were in New York and it.

475
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: Was a long night, we had a day game or Sunday,

476
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: and that's when Joel Ostein happened just on TV in

477
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: the background, yes, and he was saying some sermon about

478
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: Misuba chef or something. He made cooking lines straight, and

479
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: for some reason I always stuck with us. Ritual became

480
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: like Sunday mornings, we gotta put on Joel Ostein Jelostine.

481
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: So we're in Pittsburgh, remember when Pittsburgh All Star break?

482
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: And before the All Star break, I'm going to paint

493
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 2: Yes, ten for tent.

494
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,680

00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: Ten for ten, Yes.

496
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: Ten for ten. And they lost both games. So they're

497
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: driving back. They're driving back in the in the minivan

498
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: around six and your coach was wearing your team out,

499
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: and you're.

500
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 2: Like, fuck, yeah, fucking talking to me. I went ten

501
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: for ten. Yeah.

502
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: So in that Pittsburgh series, I was going off before

503
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: the All Star break, and there was a point where

504
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: I was one for one, two for two, and I

505
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: always said, I'm gonna fucking beat this ten for ten.

506
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,479
Speaker 1: And at one point I was eight for eight in

507
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: that series, and every time I was like, I started

508
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: counting down, like two more, one more when I would

509
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: get on base right at busy and we were scuffling.

510
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: So the day before the All Star break, John Lester

511
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: comes in, We're watching Joelo's teams. Oh, I'm on the floor,

512
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: and he wears me out.

513
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: Wears you out.

514
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 3: Sunday getaway because he said the pigeon needed to pick

00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 3: it up like that.

516
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,679

Speaker 1: just let me go to dine.

519
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 2: He walked out of here.

520
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 4: He was pretty pissed, I remember, and yes, we're waiting

521
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 4: for it, and it was It's like one of those

522
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 4: deals where it's like, oh my god.

Speaker 4: her crooked line straight.

529
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 2: And then John came in and uh, it was quick.

530
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: But we we were also in Pittsburgh and we were

531
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: it may have been rain maybe in a rain delay

532
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: where we were in the cage and I started pitching

533
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: the Bussy. I was like, come on, Bussy, get in there,

534
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: take a couple of hacks and he has a good swing,

535
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: and he takes a swing and the fucking ball comes

536
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: right back up the middle like barely clips the L

537
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: screen and I'm like out, I go down. He's like,

538
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: that's it, I'm done. I on the he was about

539
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: to be released.

540
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 2: And it was like, I'm sick and tired of hearing

541
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 2: about You're in the high School Hall of Fame.

542
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 4: You fucking stink, You're a piece of ship. And I go,

543
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 4: throw me a couple of pitches and risks right, and

544
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,560

Speaker 4: I go in and he throws me a pitch and

548
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 4: it's probably it might be the best best FUCKATUT scene

549
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 4: and just nick the L screen. It would have taken

550
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 4: him out, broken his teeth and he wouldn't have been

551
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 4: part of the plane.

552
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 2: You would have got twenty sixteen, you would have got released.

553
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 3: He called, that's that's it. Well, that's the funny sting

554
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,560

559
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: when they were able to be pissed off. I remember

560
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,320

00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 4: was a learning experience.

673
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 2: But you know, the stretch and all that stuff.

674
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 4: That was just about the boys, you know, for the

00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 4: boys f TB, for the boys, because it's just it's

Speaker 4: as much of a family and that type of stuff.

679
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,319

680
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 4: away from everyone's good too. But those seven eight months

681
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 4: when you're together, it's it's really it's it's so key,

682
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 4: and it's so.

683
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:29,640

Speaker 3: That was you guys allowed me to do a bunch

686
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,120

708
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 4: them to be themselves. I want people. Joe was so

709
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:59,680

00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 4: wanted to do that.

813
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,200

816
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 4: it was Halloween. Yeah, it was Halloween. So we had

817
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 4: to dress up, and it wasn't like, hey, we're just

818
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 4: going there for one game. I think I wore like

819
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 4: assless chaps and everything.

820
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 2: Whatever. So it was but.

821
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 4: It was honestly, wasn't it just a feel of like

822
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 4: just another game and we knew you win that you

823
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 4: win the first game and it's over.

824
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, well was the key for sure and what everybody's

825
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 3: talking about. But that's what we've talked about. It really did.

826
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 3: There was no panic in the room. There was no like, yeah,

827
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 3: we took a late flight, so like a trick or treat,

828
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 3: like Joe was still treating it like normal and just

829
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 3: where your Halloween costume on the plane? Yeah yeah, I

830
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 3: would dress shore had short sweatshirt on.

831
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah no. So it was. It was so good.

832
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 2: But and then we came out for.

833
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 4: Game six and you guys took it to them, and

834
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 4: my goodness.

835
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 3: I remember thinking of the Raj Homer, where were you?

836
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 2: I took a knee. I physically heard so bad.

837
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 3: I went to the ground.

838
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding.

839
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 3: You, really in the in the in the weight room,

840
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 3: the room.

841
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was in the weight room and I took

842
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 4: a knee because I'd probably just done a rally like

843
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 4: a rally beer for.

844
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 3: A twelve time.

845
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,479
Speaker 4: Last we're doing I got it and a rally dip

846
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 4: and whatever. And I physically it's the first time I

847
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 4: took a knee. But you know, damn it, this game

848
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 4: you can just feel it. Even as fans. I think

849
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 4: you can just feel when ships go a little sideways.

850
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 2: You can feel that.

851
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 4: I could, Yeah, sure where I was in there, and

852
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 4: I was like this, I got we got figure out

853
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 4: how to change this feeling. But something doesn't feel right here.

854
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 4: And this fucking guy and I talked to raj I

855
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 4: think it was last year because he works for the.

856
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: It's funny, we all he won the World Series and

857
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: everyone for some reason, you know what I mean?

00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 4: I just have to know this from my well being.

861
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 4: I go, how the fuck did you hit that ball

862
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 4: like that? And he goes, I just I got a tip.

863
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 4: I got a tip and and he goes, it worked

864
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 4: out and he hit it right off the fucking camp

865
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 4: and Lebron.

866
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 3: Everybody brings up Lebron.

867
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 4: Ron.

868
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 2: It's like a fucking Jordan. I love him.

869
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: I remember you used to always tell a story. You

870
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: still always tell a story in three when you guys

871
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: were in the NLCS, first the Marlins, and it was

872
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: game seven.

873
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 2: In Miami, right well.

874
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: But or whatever whatever game it was, and you said,

875
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: there was like this quiet in the stadium pre game,

876
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the who Eminence Front comes

877
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: and on our playing rides we would jam out, we

878
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: would jam there, we'd be playing everything. But whenever Eminence

879
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: Front came on it I always brought me back to

880
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: that story. And in game seven on the line, I

881
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: didn't really go out much during the playoffs to warm up,

882
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: but Game seven was like this is it, Like I'm

883
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: gonna go and take this moment in and I hit

884
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 1: and I come out to do my pregame, uh stretching stuff,

885
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: and we're on the line and Phil Collins into the

886
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: night games and like from that story you told me,

887
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: Eminence Front. For me, it was like the whole stadium

888
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: got quiet, and it was just like all I could

889
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: hear was this song and everything around me was moving

890
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: so slow, and I was just looking around at everyone

891
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: like I'm.

892
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 2: Not locked the fucking right.

893
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: I just did my pregame, my pregame Upper and Downer.

894
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: I did my pregame shot him, shot him, shot him,

895
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: Wood for reserve and five hour energies. I'm flying high,

896
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: but everything around me small, and I'm just looking at guys,

897
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: like looking in their eyes, like we fucking got to this,

898
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: and like that was my moment, like where you're saying

899
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 1: eminence front where the YEAH column and I just looking

900
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: at you and what we had been through, just together

901
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: on this team and being together for so long. It

902
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: was just like when we did win, it was it

903
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: was fucking I just wanted to do everything for you,

904
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: both of you. Honestly, your career is over. You and

905
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,919
Speaker 1: I are like this, we're brothers, so I love you too. Yeah,

906
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: an emotion, but bussy. When Roger hits the home run,

907
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: we go back into the weight room. Yeah, And I

908
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 1: remember my weight room experience was with the rain delay

909
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: and I had just re upped on my pregame mix

910
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: to like get myself going, and I just remember talking

911
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: to you like we ain't fucking going down like this, Yeah,

912
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: no fucking way. And then all of a sudden, like

913
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: people started congreging, J had calls everyone in. You were

914
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,240
Speaker 1: the only non YEAH player in there, that's.

Speaker 1: You were the only non player in there.

917
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 2: Think about this.

918
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: This is how much he meant to us players that

919
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: we have a players only meeting. That is just Jay

920
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: Hay speaking his mind. And you're in there, So what

921
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: is that like for you to see all the waterworks

00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 3: The back back left.

00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 2: I remember to this day.

Speaker 4: Cleveland has changed their weight room, these douchebags they changed.

931
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 2: But no, I used to go in there and.

934
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 2: That's where I sat right there during the rein.

935
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 4: But the best part was it was one of those

936
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 4: moments where I was like, I was doing one of

937
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 4: these and a coach tried to come in and Jay

938
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 4: Hay said, no, get your fucking ass right out of here.

939
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:28,439
Speaker 4: And so when he think and so I'm like, I'm

00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 4: doing the Jim Belushi like should I stay?

941
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 2: Should I go?

942
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 4: And I start walking out and Jay Hay goes, no, no, no,

943
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 4: you're one of us, and you're fucking staying right in

944
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 4: here and you're talking, and I go, okay, So I

945
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 4: stuck in there and I sat there and watched like

946
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 4: THEO and everyone walk by as you guys were doing

947
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:50,479
Speaker 4: doing your thing.

948
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 3: So that was what do you remember about what was

949
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 3: being said?

950
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 4: In Man, that was epic. What was being said was

951
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 4: I knew the game was over. So we we've all

952
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 4: seen these tides shift. And that's one thing in baseball

953
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 4: is that when when the momentum turns, how can you

954
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 4: turn it back?

955
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 2: In baseball? It's not like basketball or football. It's baseball.

956
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 4: So it's like, how can we figure out how to

957
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 4: get it back in our favor on the road, which

958
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 4: really at that point was fifty to fifty road game

959
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 4: and you couldn't do that. But you guys, that rain,

960
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 4: that Ron Santo rain delay was like, it's a godsend, Yeah, godsend.

00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 1: getting swept. Yeah, and all of a sudden, we're like in.

1091
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 1: They were all down, and we used to lose and

1092
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: so it wasn't like that down all of a sudden.

1093
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: Use here boom, all right, seven eight seconds later, boom

1094
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: three more times. I walk in, I go, Bussy, what

1095
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 1: the fuck are you doing? Because our fucking second loser,

1096
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,359
Speaker 1: and he's fucking he's taking like a way to ball

1097
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: and just throwing it as hard as you could at

1098
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: the left. He's these motherfuckers. Yeah, And because that's how

1099
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: much he cared.

1100
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 3: But that's how about saying, no, you had you, but

1101
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 3: you had the competitiveness in you that was like you

1102
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 3: were you couldn't impact the game. Physically, but you were

1103
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 3: all about the boys and you were a competitor, and

1104
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 3: I think that's why it was so relatable, how you

1105
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 3: have such good feel yeah, because like, yeah, it doesn't matter.

1106
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 3: I love my job, but I want to win.

1107
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 4: Right yeah, yeah, without being disrespectful, because you guys.

1108
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 2: Are out there with your ball, so they're trying. Yeah,

1109
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:34,720
Speaker 2: it's like you can't.

1110
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 4: You know, no strength coach should snap, you know what

1111
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 4: I mean at the end of the day because of

1112
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 4: a winner or loss. Really, that's what I would preach,

1113
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 4: because you guys are trying your asses off unless you've

1114
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 4: got nine dudes that don't give a fuck, which doesn't

1115
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 4: happen and didn't happen. But it was like just so,

1116
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 4: and we were horseship. It's not like that was sixteen.

1117
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,800
Speaker 4: That was like, yeah, two thousands.

1118
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 3: But there's something about the room that when somebody is

1119
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 3: like that, it's still mad. That holds everybody else accountable.

1120
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 3: It's like it's still not okay. The fact that you

1121
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 3: snap sends a message. I remember, you know, we can

1122
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,720
Speaker 3: tell stories all day, in our stories, but I remember

1123
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 3: we got our ass kicked. I was in Atlanta, was

1124
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 3: sitting on the bench and we were we were out

1125
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 3: of this game. We were getting beat like eight to

1126
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 3: nothing in the third, like it's over right, and I

1127
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 3: think the final score is like fifteen to three, and

1128
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 3: the game ends. We start to walk back and I

1129
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 3: happened to walk back behind Bobby Cox, one of the

1130
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 3: greatest managers have been around, and he takes his he

1131
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 3: takes his lineup card and he throws on the ground

1132
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 3: walking down the steps like fuck. And I'm like, I'm like, damn,

1133
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 3: he was still locked in. I checked out of this

1134
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 3: game five man, you know, like Bobby RELI bro like

1135
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 3: we'll get him tomorrow. We had a good team. But

1136
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 3: it just shows like that level of like, wow, he

1137
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 3: was still locked in. When you have that in the

1138
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 3: room and you have that, it doesn't matter if it

1139
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 3: was a coach, a player, a club guy. Danny and

1140
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 3: those guys j they grind with I watched as a manager,

1141
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 3: like they're depressed sometimes when you're just going through one

1142
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 3: of those bunks. So like that competitiveness is Competitiveness is

1143
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 3: such a strength and respectful way, you know.

1144
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's you know, hiring the right people right

1145
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 4: that those are good dudes, And that's culture and that

1146
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 4: and that's what you preach, and that's why the culture changed.

1147
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 4: Theo Tom Rickets brought you guys in and Joe matt

1148
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 4: Leicster Lackey, Joe Madden. Joe was just so fucking come on,

1149
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,959
Speaker 4: so awesome even you know, here's the deal. You can

1150
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 4: you can do or be whoever you want to be.

1151
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, anytime that you

1152
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 4: spend more than a couple of minutes with Joe Madden,

1153
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 4: you feel better about life, no doubt.

1154
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 3: And I'll say the same thing about you.

1155
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate that. I'll say the same I would,

1156
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 2: I would I. I've got to say a couple of

1157
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 2: stories before we finish.

1158
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 3: I'm probably a little drunkard with you there with Joe Madden.

1159
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 4: But the one thing I love about Rossi and it

1160
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 4: was even going back to two thousand saying Bernardino's stampede down,

1161
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 4: you know.

1162
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 2: Three games to one and everything.

1163
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 4: We came back and beat Lane Case Lancaster Jadhawks. But

1164
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 4: you would always be like, if the guy got a

1165
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 4: butt down or got to base it, if he was

1166
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 4: catching and in the game and he comes sit next

1167
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 4: to you and he'd slap my lego.

1168
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 2: Great job, you go, don't fucking touch me. Bro. I

1169
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 2: was the same way.

1170
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, bro, because bro, if you fucking did something. If

1171
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: I heard David ortusday one year, the difference between my

1172
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: good years and bad years is whether the guy's catch

1173
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: the ball or not. Because I'm gonna hit the ball

1174
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 1: hard the same amount every year. It's my good years

1175
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 1: or if they catch it or not. So when I

1176
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: would line out and hit a missile and it's an

1177
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: out and everyone's in there saying, oh, good swing, I'm like,

1178
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: don't fucking dap me up like I just got out.

1179
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: I'd rather have blown up my back and hit than

1180
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: waist a bullet, I'm sure. And I was just as

1181
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: I got older, it was like even guys still knew.

1182
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 1: But you know, when you're really grinding and you do

1183
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 1: that and they give it to you can't get like that.

1184
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 3: But you need a little red ass in the in

1185
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 3: the in the in our game, and.

1186
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 4: You were you know, I had a lackey. I think

1187
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 4: that teams need that nowadays. It's like, you know, people

1188
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 4: kick rocks like oh he yelled at me, and it's like,

1189
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 4: you know, like uh, Darnelle McDonald going d mac going

1190
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 4: around like trying to spray everyone with lavender.

1191
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 2: And ship and Lackey's like, get that fucking ship right

1192
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 2: at it was like so good.

1193
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 4: But I do remember, you know, Riz with the I

1194
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 4: remember the the time that you were bitching about I

1195
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 4: stink a fucking stink, and I'm not going to get back,

1196
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 4: and like, come on the baseball card, it's always gonna

1197
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 4: be seen. You have one hundred RBS five, one hundred RBIs.

1198
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 2: He tells me.

1199
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you ten thousand dollars. Hey,

1200
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:15,959
Speaker 4: you guys heard it. You heard it right, And so

1201
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 4: so we get close to the he's like like ninety

1202
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 4: nine RBIs with like two games to go, and so he's, uh,

1203
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 4: nine second he's up and you know, takes an ass

1204
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 4: out like fuck doubled down line and starts clapping the

1205
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 4: second base and everyone's like, you know. And so then

1206
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 4: he comes in after the game, slaps a check down

1207
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 4: on my desk and goes, there's ten thousand dollars and

1208
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 4: I go, that's awesome.

1209
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 2: You know, uh, no big deal.

1210
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: At the time, I thought it was kind of a joke,

1211
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: but whatever, it's like it's.

1212
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, So then yes, I kind of got into a

1213
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 4: little bit of a grind.

1214
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 2: Just recently.

1215
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 3: He called me.

1216
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 2: Two months ago he called me, I know, but not

1217
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 2: this grind, that grind.

1218
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 4: And so he luckily I went to his bachelor party

1219
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 4: and I'm like, photo left cash his check. And I

1220
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 4: didn't say to anyone, but I was like, my god,

1221
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 4: check at some point. And so he stands up and

1222
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 4: tells all his buddies and he goes, the only thing

1223
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 4: I have to say about this guy is and he

1224
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 4: told his whole story about the RBI thing. He goes

1225
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 4: and I got one hundred RBIs and I gave him

1226
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 4: ten thousand dollars check. And this dude such a good dude.

1227
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 4: He's never cashed the check. And I went, fuck.

1228
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 1: Reverse reverse psychology.

1229
01:02:56,400 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 3: So well, look, this is where we're family for life,
