0 min[SPEAKER_03]: I've just been running a one thing to the next But I we had to do this podcast.

1 min[SPEAKER_03]: I had to talk with you.

1 min[SPEAKER_01]: This was a a bad signal type thing where we were required to do a podcast

1 min[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, this is what I need to I need to talk through this with you and of course What we're talking about I'm not gonna bury the lead here.

1 min[SPEAKER_01]: We're talking about is Josh one his softball championship I did I did you know any well We do not cut a trophy But no you get rings instead that's how they do it now apparently we get a t-shirt that says we are a champion nice and I don't know what that A look like I don't know when I will ever see that but for the old bands softball team

1 min[SPEAKER_01]: I won and Matt, this past week I tried a senior softball bat to the first time, right?

1 min[SPEAKER_01]: Because they've always been banned and leagues that played in.

1 min[SPEAKER_01]: And finally, I said, guys, can I try someone's bat?

1 min[SPEAKER_01]: Because now that I'm playing senior softball, maybe I should have had a senior bat all season.

1 min[SPEAKER_01]: Because I haven't, I've been hitting the ball fine, but little line drives.

2 min[SPEAKER_01]: I crush it with the senior bat.

2 min[SPEAKER_01]: because they're meant for people who are seeing you.

2 min[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, the ball goes further.

2 min[SPEAKER_01]: I got a triple off the fence when our championship game won.

2 min[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, on Tuesday, like that doesn't make any sense.

2 min[SPEAKER_01]: So I will be investing in a senior bat for the winter season.

2 min[SPEAKER_03]: Well, congrats on your championship.

2 min[SPEAKER_03]: Hopefully it pretends good things for the next year for you.

2 min[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe this is the beginning of the championship run.

2 min[SPEAKER_03]: Shop all ravens or else.

2 min[SPEAKER_03]: That's what I'm seeing in the future.

2 min[SPEAKER_01]: Me too, especially with the Orioles.

2 min[SPEAKER_01]: So, by the day it was a start of it.

2 min[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, we're really together because I texted you last night at like 10 o'clock.

2 min[SPEAKER_03]: It was 11.

2 min[SPEAKER_01]: 11.

2 min[SPEAKER_03]: But did I break it to you?

2 min[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I was sleeping.

2 min[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't get the text I was sleeping.

2 min[SPEAKER_03]: I had a seat mode.

2 min[SPEAKER_03]: And then I woke up at 4 a.m. Because 4 has this new habit of mom, dad, mom, dad, that's 4 a.m. And some of these are going to your song, go back to bed.

3 min[SPEAKER_03]: So I went in 4 a.m. Sanger song.

3 min[SPEAKER_03]: went back to bed, checked my phone, but she didn't check my phone, sell the text.

3 min[SPEAKER_03]: See, that's my problem too.

3 min[SPEAKER_03]: Needless to say, I didn't sleep the rest of the night, because then I was going up and reading and kind of looking up in front of my mind about it.

3 min[SPEAKER_03]: My mind was going to 1000 miles a night.

3 min[SPEAKER_01]: I had that issue last night where it was like, I am so tired.

3 min[SPEAKER_01]: I'm about to pass out and I'm going to bed and let me just check the news real quick.

3 min[SPEAKER_01]: Good school.

3 min[SPEAKER_01]: Check the news real quick and I was like, what?

3 min[SPEAKER_01]: Jason, that can't be real.

3 min[SPEAKER_03]: and then I see it's real and then it's like great now and wide awake because I got to read all these articles and look into this Taylor Ward guy and how he fits with the Orioles and yeah certainly came out of nowhere we were expecting maybe some free Asian signing something like that seem to come out of nowhere uh initial we've hasn't had a process it i've been thinking about this thing all day i've read a bunch of stuff but what was your initial reaction when you first saw

4 min[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and first reaction is I can't believe we traded Gregson on Regus and for who right and for who and then it goes to well And then it's exactly it's been 24 hours of thinking about this and

4 min[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, I didn't even make a TikTok this morning about it because I made, but I made one tonight because I was like, all right, I've got my thoughts together, I know how I'm handling this, I know how to do this, and now that the Orioles aren't hiring me, I can go back to making TikToks about the Orioles and not worry about who's seeing it.

4 min[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I'm back on there, but um, so first of all, Tartis, I can't believe they traded Grayson.

4 min[SPEAKER_01]: Even though, come on, even you and I have been talking about how Grayson next year is a crapshoot.

4 min[SPEAKER_01]: You never know what you're going to get.

4 min[SPEAKER_03]: Well, yeah, Mike Elias hinted as as much as press conference.

4 min[SPEAKER_03]: Like in hindsight, you could see, uh, Mike Elias kind of hinting at this could this could be a possibility.

5 min[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I was

5 min[SPEAKER_03]: And like, because, like, here we go again, how many times Josh has, have we traded someone who was supposed to be the number one guy to carry out a going back to Jakariada to have engalsman Kevin Galsman, Dylan Bunty, Hunter Harvey, Deal, we all, if you want to throw him in that list too.

5 min[SPEAKER_03]: I would throw in that in there.

5 min[SPEAKER_03]: We have a rich history of highly you know of yes of of these high prospects who never really work out It's like it's like we take all this nice stuff and we break it and then once it's broken We sell it to another team hoping they could it's like those Amazon

5 min[SPEAKER_03]: Second-hand packages where you can get a pallet of Amazon stuff that they've given back and we we we we get the the cool new item We break it We destroy it and then we try to Spotted off to somebody else for for a much more discounted price That's what we do.
