WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm very excited at the top of the hour because

2
00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:06.719
<v Speaker 1>we have food news, and anytime there's food news, I'm stoked.

3
00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:10.400
<v Speaker 1>We will definitely get to that. But man, it's been teased,

4
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:14.759
<v Speaker 1>it's been talked about. Right now it's time for this. Yeah,

5
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>it's time Texas Rangers. Yeah, wow, it is baseball season.

6
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 2>No, yep, it's a baseball time in Texas, you might say, Okay,

7
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.359
<v Speaker 2>so this is very strange. The Rangers hired for the

8
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:33.079
<v Speaker 2>first time ever in Bruce Bochie's career. He's their old manager.

9
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 2>If you didn't know, they fired a coach, It's never

10
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:37.960
<v Speaker 2>happened with him ever in his career. He's like the

11
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 2>oldest guy. And they hired a podcaster to be their

12
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 2>new hitting coach. Oh my god, did they hire Rogan?

13
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 2>They didn't hire Joe Rogan. They hire Theo Vaughn. They

14
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.039
<v Speaker 2>didn't hire the lady from Cereal. Okay, this is Brett Boone.

15
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 2>Brett Boone just played for the Mariners, A little short guy.

16
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

17
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Jose Conteko accus tim of taking steroids back in like

18
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:07.239
<v Speaker 2>the two thousands, although they never cross paths like you

19
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:09.680
<v Speaker 2>can go look it up. Apparently the research has been

20
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 2>done like, I don't know, and Teko claim to his

21
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.439
<v Speaker 2>book that Boone told him he was doing steroids, and

22
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.239
<v Speaker 2>then like you look it up and they're like, there's

23
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 2>never a path where they were in the same place

24
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 2>at the same time.

25
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, can Saco's really credible, I know,

26
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>but I do think everyone was taking steroids pretty much

27
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>every player. I'll tell his player except Ben Greed.

28
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, Michael Young wasn't he had an extra grind. And

29
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 2>this the reason I pulled this is two reasons. Ay,

30
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>the Renier's new hitting coach is on a podcast breaking

31
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:39.480
<v Speaker 2>the news to everyone that he's been hired as a

32
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.079
<v Speaker 2>new hitting coach. B how it happened. And actually the

33
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>third thing is why Dirt Novitzky really needs to be

34
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>involved with the Maverick still okay, the idea that he

35
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.840
<v Speaker 2>is not. You will find out in about ten or

36
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.599
<v Speaker 2>fifteen seconds why it's important that guys like Dirk are

37
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 2>involved in the organization. Still moving forward.

38
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 3>This completely came out of left field.

39
00:01:59.480 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 2>It started.

40
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:01.920
<v Speaker 3>I went up to USC, my alma mater, I threw

41
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 3>out a first pitch. I ran into an old buddy

42
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 3>of mine, Michael Young, and he's with the Texas Rangers,

43
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:08.840
<v Speaker 3>and we just started talking and you know, we had

44
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 3>a ten minute conversation, gave each other a hug. I said,

45
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 3>give see why which is Chris Young, my new boss,

46
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 3>the president of the Rangers, and obviously the skipper Bruce

47
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 3>Bochie's who is this I played under in two thousand,

48
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 3>but we become you know, I've been have a really

49
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 3>good friendship with him for a lot of years. And

50
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 3>I get home and the phones are gonna It's Bruce

51
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 3>Bochie And the first thing I thought is this is weird.

52
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 3>So I answered the phone as I do, and I said, Bruce,

53
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 3>I now can't get enough. You want to come back

54
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.159
<v Speaker 3>on the podcast because we've had Bruce on quite a

55
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 3>few times. And he said, now, Boonie, it's a different call,

56
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:43.960
<v Speaker 3>and he kind of ran it by me, and uh,

57
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 3>he said, why don't you think about it? And you know,

58
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 3>I talked to my wife and I talked to the

59
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 3>people you know, close to me, and it didn't take long.

60
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 3>I definitely I don't know that I ever consider myself

61
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.159
<v Speaker 3>a hitting coach or a coach in any capacity. I

62
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.319
<v Speaker 3>you know, managing seems intriguing to me. So what if

63
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.639
<v Speaker 3>there's a guy to get back on the field. Bruce

64
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:05.039
<v Speaker 3>Bochi's number one on my list.

65
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so there you go.

66
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.199
<v Speaker 1>So they're taking outside the box here.

67
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 2>There they're two things. I think. I think it is

68
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 2>thinking outside the box. I think it's a just like

69
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:15.919
<v Speaker 2>this is a good idea and we need to change.

70
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>And I think Chris Young is an impatient person, and

71
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.039
<v Speaker 2>I think he is like, no, this is bs. We've

72
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.759
<v Speaker 2>signed all these contracts, let's go. We're going now.

73
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Time is of the essence.

74
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 4>I love that, Yeah, because you know, you've got this

75
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 4>opportunity where you have de Grohm and he is arguably

76
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 4>the best pitcher in baseball. He's in the and your

77
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 4>whole staff is pitching. You're pitching. That's the hardest thing

78
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 4>for you to get. It's always been the hardest thing

79
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 4>to get in Texas. And you have it and you're

80
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.039
<v Speaker 4>blowing it because now you can't hit.

81
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 2>Well.

82
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Here's the other issue. If he doesn't do well, we're

83
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna be like why do you hire a podcaster?

84
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 4>Or my god?

85
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's so thinking. He said some things about he's

86
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 2>not like analytics guy, like he's going to come in

87
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>and learn from these other guys and the Rangers do

88
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 2>have a structure that two or three other hitting coaches

89
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>are involved there. This is almost it. John Daniels will

90
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 2>be criticized for a lot of things, but he too,

91
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.319
<v Speaker 2>like Chris Young, and Chris Young learned a lot from

92
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.840
<v Speaker 2>John Nails was aggressive and always made people mad. That

93
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Matt Garza never worked out here ryand him throwing names

94
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.199
<v Speaker 2>from ten plus years ago, I get it right, But

95
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 2>they always at the trade deadline, made big trades to

96
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 2>go for it, to effing go for it, and it

97
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't work out. Many times it did not work out.

98
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.800
<v Speaker 2>But Chris Young learned a lot of this from John Can.

99
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:29.839
<v Speaker 2>I think that's important to know.

100
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I would like to end this segment with one final thought.

101
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>KT mentioned the guy with the acts to grind. You

102
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 1>hear that phrase? You never hear the girl with the

103
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 1>ass to grind? Right, you know what I'm saying, which

104
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 1>it seems like that's sexist not to say that. I agree.

105
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 2>Yepp oh there it is all right.

106
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 4>Thank you for the intro, and thank you for the

107
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.519

108
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.040
