0:00

George's pants. Yes, he did.

0:02

We all know that. But him's

0:04

telling it on the show, let

0:06

us relive that in all its

0:08

glory. When you get a bad

0:10

shellfish, it can do some bad

0:12

shit to you. You know what

0:14

I mean? So we're gambling and

0:16

gambling, and it's about midnight, one

0:18

o'clock in the morning, and I

0:20

got to go back to my

0:23

hotel. I got a tea off

0:25

at 10. And I start walking

0:27

through the lobby and all of

0:29

a sudden my stomach starts doing

0:31

this stuff, you know. Take a few

0:33

more steps and I'm going, oh my

0:35

God, I can't move. I'm frozen. If

0:37

I move, I'm gonna lose 10 pounds

0:40

right here. We got a special holiday

0:42

episode coming to your guys way. We

0:44

reminest on the first year of Digging

0:46

Deep. Some of the best moments we

0:48

shared with our amazing guest. Hope you

0:50

guys enjoy. If

0:53

nothing else comes to this, I

0:55

want the younger generation to

0:57

understand that... Your

0:59

life doesn't end at 30. You can stop

1:02

and start and restart this thing so many

1:04

times You don't have to know what you

1:06

want to do at 16 You don't have

1:08

to have a path at 22. You can

1:11

pivot literally at any age of life if

1:13

something doesn't feel right Just find something that

1:15

does who would have guessed at 17. Oh

1:17

this a we're gonna tell a this guy

1:20

is not only easy to come back He's

1:22

gonna come back and live this have this

1:24

career and impact these people and be this

1:27

kind of teammate people who coaches players players

1:29

teammate Probably with that, there's no way.

1:31

There's no way. I was a fabric

1:33

salesman before I was a pharmaceutical rep

1:35

before I was a baseball player. I

1:38

was a, I've done everything you can

1:40

do. Ask me some questions, man. Like

1:42

I'll give you whatever you need, you

1:44

need to come fix your house. I'll

1:46

come fix your house. I was installing

1:48

glass flashbacks for a while. I think

1:50

everything that I've had to go through

1:53

throughout my life has got me to

1:55

this spot. I wouldn't change a thing.

1:57

That's the crazy part. Your episode was

1:59

awesome because... all learned about all of the different

2:01

lives, yeah, like nine lives, and somebody wants to sell you

2:03

a stereo? Right, yes, I'm in. Let's just go. Go, go

2:05

for it. Get to a great story one day, 25 years

2:07

later, listen. I go out one night, like I did often

2:10

back then, I'm at a place called, Pyramids Nightclub, on US41,

2:12

I'm having the time of my life, I had a few

2:14

drinks, and the guy comes up to me that I'd seen

2:16

a few times up to me that I'd seen a few times,

2:18

that I'd seen a few times, that I'd seen a few times,

2:20

that I'd seen a few times, that I'd seen a few times,

2:22

that I'd seen, that I'd seen, that I'd seen, that I'd seen,

2:24

that I'd seen, that I'd seen, that I'd seen, that I'd seen,

2:26

that I'd seen, that I'd seen, that I'd seen, that I'd seen,

2:29

that I'd seen, Yeah, you know what, I don't

2:31

own a car, but I'll buy a

2:33

car stereo. This sounds like a good

2:35

idea. So I get in his car,

2:37

we drive back to my hotel, I

2:40

leave him at the front, I go

2:42

inside where I kept my signing

2:44

bonus in a sock, I go

2:46

inside, I go inside, grab a

2:48

couple hundred dollar bills out, put

2:50

the sock back in my room,

2:52

I get the stereo, I put

2:54

it in my hotel room, and

2:56

I head back to pyramids, right?

2:58

and there's police lights everywhere.

3:01

I'm like, this isn't good. And I look up

3:03

to my room, which is one of

3:05

those hotels that faced out to the

3:07

outside, and they're all around my room,

3:09

there's people dusting for prints. I'm like,

3:11

I just bought a stolen stereo. No.

3:13

The guy had come back, busted it in my

3:16

wall, ransacked my room, took the

3:18

money that was in my sock, not

3:20

the security deposit box, and ran off

3:22

with the rest of my signing bonus.

3:25

But did he take the stereo? No,

3:27

I kept the stereo and I sold

3:29

it to all the Latin guys. We've

3:32

had cars. But let me ask you

3:34

this, and it's got to be come

3:36

full circle moment. I'm aging you a

3:39

little bit here, and I'm sorry, buddy.

3:41

You're aging like a fine wine, I

3:43

promise you that. So playing with you

3:46

in 2016, I knew how much love that

3:48

you always had for Australia. You're hometown

3:50

of Australia. You know, people in Australia

3:52

look up to you for a whole

3:55

sport. I mean, that's something that people

3:57

don't understand when you're in the United

3:59

States. you know, you have some local

4:01

success, you have some regional success, a national,

4:04

it's a whole different thing. But when you

4:06

or the whole country is following your every

4:08

move and following what you're doing to now

4:10

see the country have number one pick of

4:13

the sport, I mean that has to be an

4:15

incredible feeling for you and I'm proud and

4:17

happy for you. Thanks, buddy. It's a similar

4:19

story to the people that came before me

4:21

that taught me the way to do it.

4:23

It was the, it's just, you know, it's,

4:25

you just got to keep grinding. You got

4:27

to keep, you got to do the right

4:29

things at the right time. It's a testament

4:31

to the people that I learned from that

4:33

was the reason for whatever I mean. And

4:35

then we talked to a young Travis Pizzana

4:37

and his IQ of this is my plan

4:39

at bad to a bad pitch to pitch

4:41

or all that, but just the overall mentality

4:43

and the good person he was. There's

4:46

so much more you can impact on

4:48

people than just like being a baseball

4:50

player. I found joy in being there

4:52

for other people and like did

4:54

a full six month program working

4:57

with Special Olympics and just, you

4:59

know, going to my coaches, kids

5:01

literally games and supporting them like

5:03

that. helped me realize like my why

5:05

and why I want to play the game

5:07

and how much More there is to just

5:09

being the guy on the field performing

5:12

He showed that where everything that I

5:14

was trying to look for and I

5:16

wanted to show that what I did

5:18

was possible But what he's done is

5:20

the first of any kind so he's

5:23

sort of broken open another level of

5:25

eyes in Australia to see that holy

5:27

cow I can turn we've had plenty

5:29

of guys go to college but he

5:32

has turned that college into an opportunity

5:34

that no one's ever had. So that's

5:36

what I'm saying. Now guys can go

5:39

to college and take full advantage of

5:41

that opportunity, see what the eventual ending

5:43

could look like, which is one-one in

5:46

the MOB draft. We've never had a

5:48

guy go first round, and all of

5:50

a sudden he's going one-one. What would

5:52

you tell, and there's not much polishing,

5:54

like you said, you need to

5:56

do with with Travis, young Travis,

5:58

but what would you... tell him like what

6:00

the keys that he's holding Australia everyone's

6:03

following him like the impact I

6:05

don't think he realizes he doesn't

6:07

understand a whole country and he

6:09

might but what would you tell him what

6:11

advice would you give him because like you

6:13

said he's doing something different that not many

6:15

people can relate to I don't think he

6:17

thinks of it that way I think he's

6:19

so driven on what he has in his

6:21

mind and what he wants to do he's

6:23

not at the in the big league level

6:25

yet so he's probably halfway through his career.

6:27

He feels like a Australian version of Bryce

6:29

Harper. When Bryce Harper first came out and

6:31

started talking about, I want to be the

6:33

best of all time, I want to be,

6:35

you know, he started naming all these things

6:37

and I can tell you that a lot

6:39

of guys at the time were reading that

6:42

and thinking, who's this kid? You know, turns

6:44

out he's pretty decent. I think Bizana has

6:46

that same sort of mentality where he can

6:48

go. This is what I want to be.

6:50

I know I can be special. I've proven

6:53

it at one level. I'm just going to

6:55

keep proving each level. He's going to have

6:57

no problems dealing with the pressure of

6:59

being the first of his kind because

7:01

he's going to excel beyond what his

7:03

own expectations are, I think. I

7:05

don't think he understands that level of

7:08

impact that he really has on.

7:10

Actually, I was just walking around

7:12

over there. I'm not going to

7:14

mention their name. I saw someone

7:16

smoking a cigarette outside of New

7:18

York City. I'm like, hey, you

7:20

definitely watched our episode. You know,

7:22

a lot of the Korean, the

7:24

Japanese players, to calm the nerves,

7:26

they smoke cigarettes. So Kim, his first

7:28

year crushing cigarettes. You go

7:30

to use the bathroom down

7:32

to clubhouse and Kim's just

7:34

boom boom like god damn

7:36

express. So year two he

7:38

comes back to spring training

7:40

right he comes back to

7:43

spring training and he goes

7:45

hey pro me no more

7:47

cigarette no more cigarette we're

7:49

like oh okay good good

7:51

we go the whole string

7:53

good second like second day

7:55

of the season six have

7:57

that's it we walk by Kim's out

7:59

there. He said, you're done. He

8:01

goes, moo joster. Those guys were a

8:04

lot of fun. That was kind of

8:06

the people, for the fans that do

8:08

watch, Dig and Deep. That was pro

8:10

far, the beginning of pro far,

8:12

and being relevant in the baseball

8:14

world because he, I mean, year

8:16

12, 13, whatever year it is

8:18

for him in to be at

8:20

the highest level of his game, being

8:22

an all-star, having a career year, doing everything

8:25

he's doing. I mean, I think. I was

8:27

trying to sell him on you guys, not

8:29

that he needed to be sold, but I

8:31

was trying to tell you how much I

8:33

enjoyed playing with this guy and what he

8:35

did, what he brought out of different people

8:37

and how he connected his ability to connect

8:39

with different type of people. So it was

8:41

cool for me for all of you guys

8:43

to experience and see how... profile is with

8:46

Kim to hear Kim, you know, see all

8:48

the effort Kim had and trying to adapt

8:50

in the American culture and speak languages and

8:52

to hear some of the Latin guys messing

8:55

with him and teaching him, you know, funny

8:57

things to say and Kim buying in. So

8:59

for everyone to kind of be able for

9:01

for everyone to see what I've got to

9:04

see in a clubhouse and how entertaining that

9:06

is just to give a little taste of

9:08

that has been really cool. When they walk

9:10

on the field... You got the guy coming

9:12

down from the first baseline all the

9:14

way out in the outfield. Oh yeah,

9:16

Mirmano! Like yelling across the field, I'm

9:19

like, man, these guys are so loud.

9:21

And I'm like, why are they so

9:23

hot? Like, they can't go over there

9:25

in town. But when I was in

9:27

Japan, there weren't many Americans. And

9:29

when I saw one across the

9:31

field, I was like, yo! English isn't

9:33

their first language. They don't show a lot of

9:35

their personality on camera because they're afraid to say

9:37

something wrong. So to get an opportunity to be

9:40

comfortable in front of you, that was the main

9:42

reason, sat down, instantly, it felt like they were

9:44

back in the club, and nothing was around them.

9:46

It was nuts. It was just like, you brought

9:48

them a sense of calm that we couldn't bring

9:50

without you. So that was really cool. That was

9:52

a fun episode. Back to pro far for a

9:54

sec, because, you know, you know, he's obviously, he's

9:57

obviously, he's obviously, he's obviously had a

9:59

solid, he's, he's, and at that time it

10:01

was still spring training so like nobody knew

10:03

it was but was coming from this year

10:05

not too long after that episode we release

10:07

it he's he's mr. irrelevant on the internet

10:10

and then this guy is now starting in

10:12

the outfield in the all-star game we

10:14

got Tatte's starting on the all-star team dig

10:16

and deep's been throwing out some all-stop yeah

10:19

Bobby Whit all-star glass now all-star right and

10:21

you know take a guy like jerks and

10:23

pro far so You know, Profar goes and

10:25

you get to see a whole different side

10:28

of jerks and pro far. You get to

10:30

see the interaction. You get to see how

10:32

he's trying to speak multiple languages to connect

10:34

with teammates and doing what he's doing. And

10:37

now you see a career year behind it.

10:39

So now you are getting a top talent,

10:41

but you know the person you're getting behind

10:44

and as a fan. I mean, as

10:46

whatever you are in the game of baseball,

10:48

an executive fan player, it gives you

10:50

a whole different perspective and view on Profar.

10:52

for us to be able to be on

10:54

his side now and me going out there

10:57

on the expert like yeah why why are

10:59

we not going to give pro for

11:01

an extension? The guy just signed for one

11:03

year one million he's basically I mean he's

11:06

got two kids he's living in Coronado he's

11:08

basically you know he's not making a lot

11:10

of money playing baseball out there right

11:12

now for what he's doing why would

11:14

you not extend him why would you

11:16

not show what he means that team

11:19

I'll tell you why because I don't

11:21

have to well I want to get

11:23

into that discussion that's the one for

11:25

another day but correct because they don't

11:27

have to and we don't have to

11:29

do this but we are and we

11:31

don't have to stick to a narrative

11:33

but we can point certain things out

11:36

that we feel aren't point that haven't

11:38

been pointed out and I think as

11:40

a player you can't for what we're

11:42

doing here it can start to be

11:44

that voice and now we can start

11:46

to hear some of the player's voice

11:48

and kind of what's happening from their

11:50

perspective. Can I ask you both about

11:52

another home of the three-oh home of that

11:54

that blew up in the media? You almost got

11:56

me shot for that by the way. I saw

11:59

how that went down. in the media, and I,

12:01

knowing Eric, I was like, there's no way

12:03

that's how it happened. We were up by seven,

12:05

but we were like, we build that and

12:07

like, we were down like by three. Yeah. we

12:09

just added like three more. So I'm not

12:11

thinking like, oh, we're up by something. No, I'm

12:13

thinking like, let's just roll. I ended up

12:15

making the last out shocker. I'm

12:19

coming out the dugout, or I'm giving my stuff

12:21

to whoever the first base coach is, and I

12:23

see old Doris, he's got his little fist clenched

12:25

over there. They're like, hey, hey, hey,

12:29

hey, whoa. Like, if anybody

12:31

that came at Toddy on the field, you already know,

12:33

pro, far, me, we're the first ones that like, hey, we

12:36

got this, you know what I mean? Like I'll talk to

12:38

him, relax, relax. So we go

12:40

back to the dugout and we were all out of

12:42

the game at this point and it was me, you, and

12:45

Wayne Kirby, the member of first base

12:47

coach. And so

12:49

Toddy's sitting there and it's the most confused

12:51

feeling ever because he's like, dude, I

12:53

should be so fired up right now. You

12:55

had two homers that day. Two. And

12:57

like, it feels like everyone's mad at me

12:59

right now, but I don't understand why

13:01

everyone's mad. So me and Kirby are sitting

13:03

there, like this is the part that

13:05

we're talking about, like old school versus

13:08

new school. And like if they're gonna shift

13:10

when we're up eight, what's the problem of

13:12

swinging three O? Like if we were

13:14

shifting somebody and they dropped a bun on

13:16

us, are we gonna be mad? You

13:18

know, like how we can't be mad at

13:20

them. Yes. Because if he hits a

13:22

line right field. Out. Yeah, you're out, boom.

13:24

Yes. Hey, I get back to my

13:26

Twitter that night. Oh my God, Bobby. People

13:28

will kill you. Kill me, man. I

13:30

told this dude, hey, Bobby, the world loves

13:32

you. You can take it. You can

13:34

take it. take it right now. It was

13:36

a great that episode. I think Toddy's

13:38

dropped one of the most epic lines that we

13:40

use quite a bit. Jungle. Jungle. You need

13:42

to be willing to go through that jungle.

13:44

That's the first thing. Some people don't make

13:46

it out alive. Some people end up with

13:49

podcasts. I

13:52

used to tell Toddy he was the king of

13:54

the jungle. Yeah. Because that is a jungle out there,

13:56

but he's the king. There wasn't anybody that. Every

13:58

once. All stars. I had a

14:00

good time in Kansas City as a

14:03

player. I really know that, but I

14:05

had the most foam, I've ever had

14:07

in my life watching you guys go

14:09

through Kansas City. I had a good

14:11

time in Kansas City as a player.

14:14

I know what the city is like.

14:16

I know what the city is like.

14:18

I know what big slicks like, but

14:21

I knew I couldn't go. So I'm

14:23

not blaming anybody, but myself guys. I

14:25

don't want you to feel any. But

14:27

I missed that one. I'm gonna miss

14:30

another one. We needed you there. There's

14:32

some good ones there. Yeah, he would have

14:34

been, would have definitely added to it. That was

14:36

the first time I've been back. And so I

14:38

got, when I got traded from San Diego

14:40

to Boston, we were playing, Boston was

14:43

playing the Royal, so I flew into

14:45

Kansas City. It was kind of everything,

14:47

there was a lot of moving parts

14:49

going on, right? So I'm kind of

14:51

in Kansas City for two days. trying

14:53

to figure out where I'm going to

14:55

live in Boston, trying to figure out

14:57

where everything's happening. So I didn't really

14:59

get time to catch up with people

15:01

that I got to, you know, have

15:03

relationships with away from the field in

15:05

Kansas City. So for us to go

15:07

back there in May, two different times,

15:09

was an absolute blast. But you're

15:12

not missing the next one, buddy. No

15:14

chance. We went out there golf that

15:16

Gordo wherever the country club that Gordo

15:18

took us. I mean, unbelievable. in the

15:20

clubhouse and the hotel rooms after games

15:23

just talking about how bad we just

15:25

played or something like that. Those are

15:27

to get all those guys together and

15:29

get to relive those moments is always

15:31

priceless. George. Just pants. Yes, he did.

15:34

We all know that. But him's telling

15:36

it on the show, let us relive

15:38

that in all its glory. When you

15:40

get a bad shellfish, it can do

15:42

some bad shit to you. You know

15:45

what I mean? So we're gambling and

15:47

gambling and it's about midnight, one o'clock

15:49

in the morning, and I got to

15:51

go back to my hotel. I got

15:53

a tea off at ten. And I

15:56

start walking through the lobby and all

15:58

of a sudden my stuff. stomachs are

16:00

doing this stuff, you know? Take a few

16:02

more steps and I'm going, oh my

16:04

God, I can't move. I can't move, I'm

16:06

frozen. If I move, if I move,

16:08

I'm gonna lose 10 pounds right here. It's

16:11

one of those things. And

16:14

all of a sudden my stomach relaxes a

16:16

little bit. Thank God I was wearing dark jeans,

16:18

not light ones, but I was wearing dark

16:20

jeans. And all of a

16:22

sudden I took one step and I, oh,

16:24

I gotta stop. And then I couldn't stop.

16:26

I just started walking real fast and I

16:29

swear to God I crap my pants all

16:31

the way to the six -block walk every time

16:33

I took a step. It would come out.

16:37

It was the damnedest thing I ever seen. Then

16:39

I couldn't control it and I started spitting

16:41

my pants. I just, so I called Larry, I

16:43

get in front of the, I get in

16:45

front of the Bellagio and I'm watching the fountains.

16:47

I said, Larry, you won't believe what happened.

16:49

I'm sicker than a dog. And Larry was a

16:51

rather big guy and so he puts a pair

16:53

of his pants in a bag and he

16:55

gets a towel for me. He goes in

16:57

and scopes up. You take the escalator up and

16:59

I didn't know exactly where the

17:01

bathroom was. Going in the side door.

17:04

So he goes, scouts it out for me

17:06

and then he comes back down and

17:08

I get on the escalator and he pretends

17:10

like he dropped something. So nobody would

17:12

get on right behind me. So there's about

17:14

half an escalator and so, you know,

17:16

and so I go in the bathroom and

17:18

he gets the towel wet, throws it

17:21

over. I take everything off, clean up, put

17:23

his pants on, roll them up, you

17:25

know, khakis and barefoot or my shoes. I

17:27

couldn't wear my shoes. Just left everything

17:29

in the bathroom. And

17:31

I get on the elevator and

17:33

the guy says hey how's your

17:35

night going I said not very

17:37

good George George

17:40

is one of the best player, best

17:42

baseball players of all time, right?

17:44

Like let's tell it like it is.

17:46

George Brett was incredible. My dad,

17:48

like the generation that George grew

17:50

up playing in, he was the

17:52

best. He was an all time

17:54

third baseman, player, royal, whatever it

17:56

was. And for

17:58

me and Moose, to be

18:01

able to, like, and even telly, to be

18:03

able to talk to George and interact

18:05

with George day to day in

18:07

the batting cage in the gym

18:09

and the clubhouse, the access that

18:11

we had to George, like my

18:13

dad would have killed to have

18:16

one lunch with George in a

18:18

lifetime, let alone the amount

18:20

of times and places and

18:22

opportunities and everything that I've

18:24

had the opportunity to have

18:27

to meet someone like George.

18:29

To be able to bring that here and

18:31

to bring that to camera and get

18:33

to show Kansas City who we've all

18:35

had such a special bond with the

18:37

whole entire fan base out there. What

18:40

was it like for you guys to

18:42

be coached by one of the best? Oh

18:44

they didn't like it at all! How many

18:46

times did I tell you? I don't

18:48

understand why every swing you take in

18:50

batting practice. You take your top hand

18:52

off and you hit line drives and

18:55

home runs. And then in a game

18:57

starts you leave it on and you

18:59

hit ground balls. Why don't we practice

19:01

the way we play? And then one

19:03

day when Moose hit a line drive

19:05

to the center fielder and in the

19:07

dugout he throws is how many he

19:10

comes and sits at the end of

19:12

the dugout he gets a towel. I'm

19:14

crazy and I'm at the other end

19:16

of it. I go, Pete, he's old for

19:18

one big deal. So I walk over and I

19:20

go, Mike, you did your job, you hit the

19:23

ball hard. That's all we ask at the ball

19:25

hard. The more times you hit

19:27

the ball hard, the higher average

19:29

is going to be. Don't be

19:31

mad when you've done your job.

19:33

for the people to see that

19:36

I think is really really cool

19:38

and that's something we've definitely honed

19:40

in on you know Kansas City

19:42

a lot of the places that

19:44

we've all played and we are

19:47

familiar with because that's our most

19:49

relatable and that's our that's our

19:51

home base that's where all of

19:53

our stories all of our good

19:55

times our best memories are from

19:58

and we do plan on expanding

20:00

that because we have so much

20:02

you have so much you have so

20:04

much connections stories and people that

20:07

not only in this game that

20:09

have played but are promoting and

20:11

pushing the game in other ways

20:13

and we're we're able to be around

20:15

these people so to not only dig

20:17

and talk to these people here on

20:19

set to share what we've all gotten

20:22

to see and talk to them off-camera

20:24

and just bring all that to camera

20:26

bring it to light is something that

20:28

It sounds like a great idea, but

20:31

to actually bring that all to light

20:33

has been something that's been fun on both

20:35

ends. So the Jersey crew, like I call

20:37

you guys back there, you guys should all

20:39

be fired up for everything because all

20:41

these new posts too, everything that's been

20:43

on. I mean, the way that you

20:45

guys have all adapted has been fun

20:47

to see over time because the clips

20:49

are funny and they just keep getting

20:51

cleaner and crisper and cleaner and cleaner

20:53

and cleaner. So it's been fun to

20:55

grow as a whole with everything that's

20:57

happening. And even like that, think about

21:00

Paul Rudd and Riggle, like there's still,

21:02

I didn't really realize how much depth,

21:04

I mean obviously I knew at depth,

21:06

but the stories behind the scenes, like

21:08

when they're on set. You know, I

21:10

had a scene in Stepbrothers, Adam Scott,

21:13

who, you know, is his brother in

21:15

it, and I'm kind of Adam's Hinchman,

21:17

right? I'm just his muscle, you know,

21:19

just screaming, anything he says, I'm backing

21:21

up. Hey, this is the Cali wine

21:23

mixture, you know, you mess with my,

21:25

that's where I make my nut for

21:27

the year, you mess with my nut,

21:30

I'm gonna kill you or whatever. I'm

21:32

sitting there going, I'm foaming at the

21:34

mouth because I want to kill Will's

21:36

character, Brennan, you know. And just because,

21:38

you know, my boss is mad at

21:40

him or whatever, you know, so I'm

21:42

like, oh, I'm like literally making motions

21:45

mimbing. So whenever he got done

21:47

saying something, I just go, I

21:49

just go, And so then Will,

21:51

being very gracious, like, you gotta

21:53

just keep doing that. And so

21:55

I kept getting yelling, Powell, and

21:57

Will's like, why just keep doing

21:59

that? But it was again things

22:01

we find in the moment improvise

22:03

things. So that ended up replacing

22:05

the other but Yeah, sometimes when

22:08

you're improvising and having fun And

22:10

you're playing with other people who

22:12

know how to do bits and

22:14

stuff. It's really fun stepbrothers to

22:16

Paul Rudd telling about that story

22:18

about the go Superman go bat

22:20

Are you go see that story

22:22

was hilarious and my son and

22:24

I were walking make was and

22:27

we were in our Royals gear

22:29

and it was I remember I

22:31

remember We were walking at his

22:33

school was having a Halloween party

22:35

so because it was like I

22:37

think was the day before Halloween

22:39

and Everybody

22:41

was dressed up We're in our

22:43

Royals gear because we're going to

22:46

the game And

22:48

I just remember that there was

22:50

a movie Batman versus Superman was out

22:52

at the time We're walking down

22:54

the street in New York and this

22:56

Woman who was dressed as Batman

22:59

like is Walking

23:01

past us and my son

23:03

who's a little kid She

23:06

looks at us and she just

23:08

goes go Mets and my son

23:10

looks at her and says go

23:12

Superman To

23:15

see how much respect they have for

23:17

you and moose and I'm still just the

23:19

kid That's the fan. I can't believe

23:21

that I'm I get that like I know

23:23

you guys It's blows my mind. They

23:25

were so excited to be with you and

23:27

moose at the time. I was that

23:29

was really cool What is that like for

23:31

you good? Like you got guys that

23:33

you probably looked up to now They're saying

23:35

they're looking up to you didn't didn't

23:37

wriggle give you his Oprah moment He

23:41

was locking eyes with you.

23:43

I think pretty hard. I just

23:45

don't believe it I'm like

23:47

I'm looking at moose up like

23:49

this ain't happening, right? I'm

23:51

looking at you guys like what

23:53

what did he just say?

23:55

He said I created this moment

23:57

for him. What like this

23:59

is the guy I've been watching

24:01

movies I've been he's been

24:03

making me laugh for my whole

24:05

childhood him to say that

24:07

was it was wild but it also is wild

24:09

because you didn't realize that's the impact you can have on

24:11

everybody or just that it because that's the impact you had

24:13

on him same thing like we're talking about with Travis like

24:15

the impact that we had on Kansas City these are guys

24:17

that have been in some of the best movies of all

24:19

time in my opinion yeah so like to me they're on

24:21

this stage I don't think they have any idea who I

24:23

am right to understand they're human they have a sports team

24:25

and I was on that sports team and they pulled for

24:27

me and hear their perspective and their story on when we

24:29

won and when the big plays happened what happened with

24:31

them where they were I don't

24:33

know if that'll ever sing. A

24:36

million Kansas City. I don't think

24:38

that'll ever feel normal at home.

24:40

I shot the day after you

24:42

guys beat the A's. I'm watching

24:44

the game by yourself, by myself,

24:46

watching, I can't believe this, I'm

24:49

texting, I'm in Atlanta, where we're

24:51

shooting out, it's about the team.

24:53

I'm in, I'm in, I'm in,

24:55

I'm in Atlanta, where we're shooting

24:57

this thing, and I was home,

24:59

I'm watching the game, by yourself,

25:02

by myself, watching, I can't believe

25:04

this, I can't believe it, I'm

25:06

texting with some friends, I'm like,

25:09

The game, you guys win the

25:11

game. I can't, I can't even

25:13

believe it. I'm so, I'm freaking out so

25:15

much that I film myself. I don't know

25:18

what I'm saying. Just so that I could

25:20

send it to my friend going, this is

25:22

how I feel right now. And I did,

25:24

I still have it on my phone. We

25:26

got to get that video if we'd get

25:29

that and run that. That's got a big

25:31

moment. I was literally hours away

25:33

from texting you guys and saying,

25:35

I just cannot do this. Because

25:37

Arizona because I didn't feel like I

25:39

didn't feel like I belonged in the

25:41

group and I didn't feel like I

25:43

belonged in the discussions true story I

25:45

was I was like sitting there with

25:47

my wife she was asleep it's probably

25:49

two in the morning day before I was

25:52

gonna leave and I'm like what am I

25:54

gonna bring to this what what what and

25:56

I know that my stories are great but

25:58

I didn't know that my stories would resonate

26:00

with more people than just, you

26:02

know. Oh, to be part of Digging Deep podcast.

26:04

Deep podcast, from one, from the first Arizona, I

26:06

almost canceled my flight to Arizona. Wow, we would

26:08

have been in a tough spot. Tough Tough spot,

26:10

I know. We would have no kids. And I

26:12

think it was just one of those moments where

26:14

I was like. not have been a part of

26:16

the program. I was like, it was just about

26:18

taking a risk, obviously, it was just, but I

26:20

was like, what am I doing? What, just go

26:22

and fucking do it and just I had to

26:24

talk myself into it for most of the night,

26:27

was able to get some sleep, woke up next

26:29

morning and was like, just fucking do it. Just

26:31

say yes, obviously. But I was this fucking close,

26:33

man. No kidding. And that was more of

26:35

a build off of the anxiety about what

26:37

was going on with Bali and what was

26:39

going on with my professional career. And it

26:41

was just all come into a head and

26:43

I was like, is this going to be

26:46

something that I just fail at? And I'm just, so

26:48

it was, I was a lot of thoughts going through my head

26:50

early on. I don't think you're failing,

26:52

buddy. No, well, obviously I feel a

26:54

lot more comfortable now, but. Yeah,

26:56

and that's where it's important to communicate

26:58

not only, you know, our little

27:00

team right here, right? This beginning, this

27:02

startup, whatever it is, because if you

27:04

look on the outside, you would think

27:07

Pete is laughing, joking, having a good time

27:09

24 seven. There would never be thoughts

27:11

of that, but I feel like to have

27:13

that communication as a team and for

27:15

us to grow, that's going to be huge.

27:18

But that's great. That's crazy, huh? The

27:20

sledge? The sledge. Oh yeah. You're

27:23

right. I mean, there's a vulnerability. Being vulnerable

27:25

with each other and saying, hey, I'm not, I

27:27

think Sierra said that with her crew. She

27:29

said, hey, I'm not feeling it today. There was

27:31

a coach the other day. We're

27:34

working with the coaching staff and they were talking

27:36

to the players and they gave this five system.

27:38

What now are you a one through five? Like

27:40

what are you? And if you're a one or

27:42

two, you got to let people know. Hey, I'm

27:44

a one today. I'm a two today because when

27:46

you're a one to two, you can't hang out

27:48

with other ones and twos because you're going to

27:50

complain. You're going to feel bad. You're going to,

27:52

you're going to, you're going to, you're going to

27:55

use Skip's words. You're going to be a deflator

27:57

and not an inflator. If you're a one and

27:59

two, You got to go hang out with fours

28:01

and fives use their energy to bring you up

28:03

if you're one So the only way we can

28:05

know if you're a one or two is you

28:07

got to communicate it And so the players it

28:09

was neat to see the players. Yeah, I'm a

28:11

one I'm gonna go and they told stories and

28:13

how they would go find the fives to go

28:16

find their fountains To just kind of give them

28:18

that juice and I just think you sharing that's

28:20

that's cool It starts with that vulnerability Smart

28:23

guy in the room. No, just,

28:25

you know who said that? Bryce

28:27

Butler, his guy named Neval so

28:29

in of all he's he was

28:31

in tech industry, multi -billionaire investor. Wait,

28:33

I can tell he's the smartest

28:35

one out. So

28:37

if you go in, I'll pull right

28:39

in there. Instantly we weren't even two minutes

28:41

in. We

28:44

must give off that sort of, I don't

28:46

know what it is. Maybe

28:49

it's the black tan. That's what

28:51

it is. What

28:54

do you mean by that And

28:57

I'm just

28:59

staring him

29:05

I'm glad I'm not on enough

29:07

for you guys to What

29:09

if we had to choose who we could

29:12

actually have on the show we've had a lot

29:14

of great people But who would you guys want

29:16

to see on the show? Go

29:19

I Would like to see Billy Wagner

29:22

on the show Let's

29:27

throw that clip I'll

29:30

make a call and a Y. Okay.

29:32

Well, I think this is his last

29:34

year of eligibility at the Hall of

29:36

Fame I think he's got a better

29:38

case than most people do when it

29:40

comes to this stage. He's gone nine

29:42

years without it He had seventy four

29:44

point something percent of the vote last

29:46

year, which was a beast away from

29:49

getting in Think somebody has held him

29:51

accountable for the wrong reasons whether it

29:53

be Relationship with media or whatever. I think

29:55

he well and truly deserves to be in

29:57

the Hall of Fame and I'd like to

29:59

hear his thoughts on what's happened to

30:01

this point. And I love to hear

30:03

what he's doing. Post- Baseball, his son

30:06

has just made the big leagues. So

30:08

every parent dreams about having their kid

30:10

make it to the big leagues? Teach

30:12

us how. Mine would be Tony

30:15

Finault. And the reason I say

30:17

Tony Finault, number one, like we

30:19

haven't had a professional golfer from

30:21

PGA. His story is out of

30:23

this world. His ability to... pursue

30:25

being the best in the world at

30:27

his craft and being the best father and

30:30

husband and he is so unique and to

30:32

hear his story and to have him just

30:34

kind of share what he's done and to

30:36

get into golf in a town and the

30:38

culture that there aren't a golfers golf versus

30:41

his parents that he knew nothing didn't have

30:43

the money you guys would love to hear

30:45

what he has to say. The one that

30:47

I can't wait for her to happen and

30:49

I'm not going to say this at the

30:52

top of my wish list is Gerard dice

30:54

I can. I can't wait for people to

30:56

just hear number one how entertaining how

30:58

funny he is but he has gone

31:00

through so much in his life and

31:03

he essentially was like a older brother

31:05

to father figure for me in minor

31:07

league baseball professional or big league baseball

31:09

like the whole way to this day

31:11

to I get you know advice on

31:13

stuff with Jack and I still lean

31:16

on him for for a lot of

31:18

different things but I think you'd especially

31:20

with with our Kansas City with our

31:22

home fan base out there they'll see

31:24

a different side of dice that I

31:26

don't know if they could have really

31:29

ever pictured of him, but he was

31:31

really the guy, that glue guy in

31:33

our clubhouse that that really set the

31:35

tone. I know you saw that in

31:37

2016, but it's certain things that you

31:40

really just can't explain, you just have

31:42

to kind of see it. So I

31:44

really want those people, I want everyone

31:46

to see that. I want to dive into

31:48

those stories with you guys. Mm-dice

31:51

energy is awesome too, that would be

31:53

a lot of fun. I'm going to

31:55

go, I mean, growing up

31:57

in New York and seeing

31:59

a lot of these guys go from

32:01

playing for the Yankees, winning championships in

32:03

my childhood, and now going into media,

32:05

a guy like A-Rod, a guy like

32:07

Jeter, a guy, and let's, let's even,

32:09

I'm even saying this because living in

32:12

New York, Boston was always in town

32:14

and we had these battles, but big

32:16

poppy, like the stuff he's done from

32:18

on the field to now in media.

32:20

I'd love to hear, obviously, their experiences

32:22

in the game as some of the

32:24

best players ever, but also like what

32:26

they're doing now, I think could really

32:28

bringing, could really bringing like. for me

32:30

from a media perspective is very interesting.

32:33

So I'd love to see those guys

32:35

for sure. I know you mentioned a

32:37

golfer, but Bryson Deschambo, now he's going

32:39

from not just doing stuff on the

32:41

course, but he's killing it as, you

32:43

can't even call him an influencer, a

32:45

creator, and like going out and doing

32:47

his own thing, he's getting to play

32:49

with presidents and anybody in the world.

32:51

He did that, like he's been, he's

32:54

been the guy that shortened his clubs,

32:56

he went... analytically at the golf game

32:58

and went to the point where he

33:00

went like this and went hulk and

33:02

then he came back down because he

33:04

learned. And the whole live experience too

33:06

and what's going on there and now

33:08

like you know winning another major and

33:10

kind of gaining everybody's respect back similar

33:12

I mean honestly similar to Arod like

33:15

that struggle of like the fans disliking

33:17

you in a sense and trying to

33:19

win that back I think they've both

33:21

gone through that and I think that

33:23

would be cool to hear about. I

33:25

love golf by the way. I know

33:27

if you said it. I was pretty

33:29

fucking pissed off when he said we

33:31

had a personal golf run. Yeah. I

33:33

got down with two once. I was

33:36

close. Not bad. But do you love

33:38

breakdancing? It was the hot. It was

33:40

the hot. Oh man. If the Mike

33:42

Peck wasn't there, I'd be fucking spinning

33:44

right there.
