[SPEAKER_02]: We had it planned.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's just life got in the way.

[SPEAKER_01]: I know both of our schedules have been kind of insanely lately, but we have a lot to talk about.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to do more predictions before that.

[SPEAKER_01]: We just got a lot to cover.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I feel like we should do two hours and tell people to listen on times to speed.

[SPEAKER_01]: So it's just one hour just so we can't stop.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we're streamin' live now.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if anyone's watching, but that means it doesn't watch on Wednesday night.

[SPEAKER_02]: And come on, you guys, our game of tomorrow is 3 p.m. You got time if we go two hours.

[SPEAKER_02]: You'll be fine.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I love knowing that people listen to this, heading down the pickles or heading down to the stadium.

[SPEAKER_02]: It makes me jealous that I won't be there.

[SPEAKER_01]: I thought you were going to say that you don't listen to yourself.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm excited.

[SPEAKER_02]: I get enough of myself.

[SPEAKER_01]: You signed the, you're signed there on YouTube as the opening they leave.

[SPEAKER_01]: And that's, it feels like, for me, it does feel like Christmas Eve.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm all giggly, I'm excited.

[SPEAKER_01]: I am Josh, I'm noticing a, I wanna talk about my feelings a little bit first here.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm noticing more than previous years, for ever reason, the past few days, I've been experiencing a little bit of some home sickness.

[SPEAKER_01]: Usually I'm okay missing an open-day.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not like you where you're kind of obsessed with going to open-down, wonder how you're dealing with it.

[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm missing Baltimore a little bit the past couple days as I get amped up for opening day.

[SPEAKER_02]: I, um, I looked at ticket prices online.

[SPEAKER_01]: I do know that.

[SPEAKER_02]: I know you did.

[SPEAKER_01]: I did.

[SPEAKER_02]: I look at the, I do the, uh, I do them.

[SPEAKER_02]: The, try to weigh the pros and cons of, do I, I'm, I'm not flying up there.

[SPEAKER_02]: I've, I've seen the airport.

[SPEAKER_02]: There's no way I'm stepping foot in that.

[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm like, no, just taking a car and let the car drive me.

[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_02]: The car could just take me up there.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'll be fine.

[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm going up.

[SPEAKER_02]: I got, I got a, I got a busy April.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I've got the,

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, split custody.

[SPEAKER_02]: So the kids are here one week then off and it opened in day falls on a week with the kids show up on Friday So I can't really take the whole weekend up there.

[SPEAKER_02]: I am seriously missing out.

[SPEAKER_02]: I am more excited for this baseball season than I've been in many years.

[SPEAKER_02]: I am more positive going into this about the Orioles in many years I've been playing the new MLB the show and all it does is make me want to be involved more

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you there and it's not like, I mean, my family's here and spread out across, you know, Florida and Tennessee, only Lars left up there and Burton and Maryland, but man, I'm just missing, missing Maryland, missing Baltimore right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I know we gave up the Oriental tickets and I feel like I want to have a whole conversation about that.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I know we gave up the Oriental tickets and I feel like I want to have a whole conversation about that. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, that might be part of it, too. [SPEAKER_01]: That might be feels like that permanent thing we've had for a while. [SPEAKER_01]: It does. [SPEAKER_02]: And I feel, and I regret given them up, even though I under we had to. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, logistically in the sense. [SPEAKER_02]: And I think the Orioles also regret that as they're now pushing the 10 game plan. [SPEAKER_02]: And sending little pins to people with canceled their accounts to try to woo them back. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: I think the Orioles are regretting that as well. [SPEAKER_01]: But we'll harder if you want to get us back Orioles. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: We'll do a part of it. [SPEAKER_02]: We think that it was just a few years ago that I was even considering, hey, what do we buy a cheap little town home in Baltimore? [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Matt, get Matt to go in on it with me. [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I'm going home for these things. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: I know. [SPEAKER_01]: We can still revisit the conversation later. [SPEAKER_01]: I can be tempted to get a little place in Baltimore. [SPEAKER_02]: I think there's a, I can see a future where we're back with season tickets and a little Airbnb and Baltimore that we can use. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, I keep having that too. [SPEAKER_01]: The Josh showed you, so I'm wondering in terms of, you know, if we were in bottom we'd be at opening day. [SPEAKER_01]: Yes. [SPEAKER_01]: We're not in bottom we're. [SPEAKER_01]: Do you have any plans tomorrow? [SPEAKER_01]: You know, have you thought about how you're going to celebrate opening day? [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, yes, I have. [SPEAKER_02]: Um, I have, uh, [SPEAKER_02]: I've got a couple options. [SPEAKER_02]: What I do know is that three at two thirty because I assume the pregame stuff will all be televised like it normally is. [SPEAKER_02]: So I plan at two thirty to be sitting on my couch right here in my office with my 70 inch TV tuned to the MLB app to watch the Orioles pregame ceremony. [SPEAKER_02]: And I think that we should have [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I don't, I don't drink, you don't drink like you used to, but I feel like we need up. [SPEAKER_01]: You don't know what I drink or do not drink, you don't, you don't know my drinking like, don't assume that. [SPEAKER_02]: I could be throw back six packs every night. [SPEAKER_02]: You don't know that. [SPEAKER_02]: What the doctor told you last year. [SPEAKER_02]: Fair enough. [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know how caught up you are on the Michael mayor show. [SPEAKER_02]: But I didn't have a great visit with my doctor this year either. [SPEAKER_02]: So I didn't hear that news. [SPEAKER_02]: OK. [SPEAKER_01]: Yes. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm drinking on my Delaware right now. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you got. [SPEAKER_02]: And I got some high blood pressure medicine. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my, you're the first time in my life. [SPEAKER_01]: That this is just the beginning, Josh. [SPEAKER_01]: Next next year for opening day, you're going to have one of those Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, pill. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know. [SPEAKER_01]: So you know what you want to take on which day? [SPEAKER_02]: Pillow in arms. [SPEAKER_02]: So my plan is to sit here on the couch. [SPEAKER_02]: I have the micro marrow show bonus show tomorrow at 4 o'clock. [SPEAKER_02]: So I will be transitioning to my desk for an hour there. [SPEAKER_02]: But basically my plan is who just enjoy the ball game. [SPEAKER_02]: And what I end up doing is I scroll on Twitter all morning before the game, and I see pictures, and I get jealous. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I can't do it. [SPEAKER_01]: And I can't. [SPEAKER_01]: Another reason why I don't do Twitter anymore. [SPEAKER_01]: I can't do that. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: So I, um, that had been my plan tomorrow. [SPEAKER_02]: I've got, I've got meetings. [SPEAKER_02]: I had a meeting today. [SPEAKER_02]: I make sure today, I, uh, I knew the guy was meeting with us at Tiger's fans. [SPEAKER_02]: So I made sure to talk to him about the Orioles and the Tigers. [SPEAKER_02]: And then tomorrow, same thing. [SPEAKER_02]: I'll make sure to bring up baseball because it's all I can think about right now. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's small talk. [SPEAKER_01]: It based, first time a long time, baseball small talk in the office today, which means it would be happy. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, can I tell you what I did last week? [SPEAKER_02]: Sure. [SPEAKER_02]: Last week, I went to Sarah [SPEAKER_02]: It's all too intense of a game. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, we haven't talked about this for a long time. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, then I went to saw a Braves raise game in the Braves Spring Training Stadium, which is a nice stadium and it was nice to see Jorge Mateo play in well for them. [SPEAKER_02]: So that was nice to see. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, one of you made the Open Day roster. [SPEAKER_02]: I hope so. [SPEAKER_02]: He had a good game when I was there. [SPEAKER_01]: And then there's two. [SPEAKER_01]: The shirts that we have in shirts. [SPEAKER_02]: Then I went to Lake Lamb where I saw the Orioles and the Tigers face off both wearing iron shirts made it really difficult to watch the game. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that was like, oh, yeah, we had a little game against the angels and braves. [SPEAKER_02]: And they both had the same blue red, the only difference was white pants or gray pants. [SPEAKER_02]: And I'll tell you what by sitting in the grass out in the outfield. [SPEAKER_02]: uh, because spring training, I don't worry about great seats. [SPEAKER_02]: I just want to be in the atmosphere of the ball yard. [SPEAKER_02]: So there we had got some seats out in the last minute, seats out in the grass, wait, it's way too expensive. [SPEAKER_02]: But uh, from out there, the part to tell, hard to tell if it's a base runner or the second baseman from the outfield. [SPEAKER_01]: Well, and, and you don't have your usual crew of players, too, so it's not like you could. [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you can recognize Peter Lanzo or something. [SPEAKER_02]: Right. [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_01]: You have a bunch of brandos out there, too. [SPEAKER_02]: No, no, Alonso, it was actually a lot. [SPEAKER_01]: It was a starting. [SPEAKER_01]: It was a lot of a start. [SPEAKER_02]: Um, then on Friday, I went to another baseball game here in Jacksonville. [SPEAKER_02]: Because as I told you, all I can think about right now is baseball. [SPEAKER_02]: I miss it, I miss everything, I'm playing softball, I miss coaching baseball, I miss everything. [SPEAKER_02]: I went to another baseball. [SPEAKER_02]: I went to see the chili peppers play. [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, now if you ever heard of the chili peppers, the chili peppers are the knock-off bananas, okay, not affiliated with their not in that league, they're not in the banana, but they wish they were, they do their own thing and try to come up with their own rules that the bananas aren't dealing, but their thing is at the four after four innings. [SPEAKER_02]: They turn off all the lights, and they turn on black lights, and it's glow in the dark baseball. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, interesting. [SPEAKER_02]: That sounds dangerous. [SPEAKER_02]: The coolest part of that was one of the rules is in between every in-in is a home-run Derby and the runs count. [SPEAKER_02]: And the coolest part of the whole night was the home-run Derby's in-the-dark just watching the ball fly. [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, cool, but they were fine. [SPEAKER_02]: They, I realized that I am an old grumpy man who likes loves passionately baseb
