[SPEAKER_08]: Sorry for the tardy start.

[SPEAKER_08]: All on me.

[SPEAKER_08]: Just not to, you know, not winning everyone knows.

[SPEAKER_08]: So it was partially Josh.

[SPEAKER_06]: Josh gave you some lip, and that slowed us down.

[SPEAKER_08]: No, wasn't really his fault.

[SPEAKER_08]: My point I want to make is that there are certain days that others can result in a tardy start, but today was all me.

[SPEAKER_08]: I did a full reboot over the weekend, and for those of you that don't know what that is, I put on boots.

[SPEAKER_08]: and wear them around the house naked.

[SPEAKER_06]: For you, do you still have you used to be known for your fancy and splendid cowboy boots?

[SPEAKER_08]: Into into like blue out my knee in a bar fight.

[SPEAKER_06]: Right, do you have any of them left?

[SPEAKER_08]: No, got rid of all of them.

[SPEAKER_08]: I didn't believe that they were sturdy enough and supportive enough to throw a right.

[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I think it wasn't the boot.

[SPEAKER_06]: It was the heel, wasn't that?

[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you had four and five heels on.

[SPEAKER_08]: All I know is I backed up and I went down and when I stood up, the shin bone torn connected to the thigh bone.

[SPEAKER_08]: And I had a blown ACL, which was not fun.

[SPEAKER_06]: Did you dispose of them?

[SPEAKER_06]: Did you sell them?

[SPEAKER_06]: What did you do to the boots?

[SPEAKER_08]: I think they went to Goodwill.

[SPEAKER_06]: I think if they were some really good, or someone else with a size 6 got very lucky.

[SPEAKER_08]: Somebody that is a size 12 double that.

[SPEAKER_08]: Just silly.

[SPEAKER_08]: Did really sell her.

[SPEAKER_08]: Did really what's that?

[SPEAKER_08]: Probably a reseller.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, probably in her boots if I say.

[SPEAKER_08]: I've been a bin diver.

[SPEAKER_05]: Is there a name for what you do?

[SPEAKER_08]: Is there a dumpster diver?

[SPEAKER_08]: We sell it.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_08]: I'm putting it up there.

[SPEAKER_08]: My life now, as you know, very simple.

[SPEAKER_08]: This is the heart of Little League all star season where there are games everywhere.

[SPEAKER_08]: are still in it. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes. [SPEAKER_08]: They haven't been eliminated. [SPEAKER_08]: But it did it looked rather bleak over the weekend. [SPEAKER_08]: And my impact, uh, he had a sleep over last night. [SPEAKER_08]: My son's team played his, uh, his best buddy in the neighborhood, G.O.s team. [SPEAKER_08]: G.O. [SPEAKER_08]: has, by the way, this season nine homeruns, including one against us when we were thumped by G.O.s team. [SPEAKER_06]: Does that make anything [SPEAKER_08]: By the way, it's Biazio, Biazio, Hewlett is his name, and he is, keep playing Biazio because if you stay at it, son, you've got the time. [SPEAKER_08]: Look, there are kids that play, there are kids that play well, and then there are kids that you look at and go, okay, that's a different land he is. [SPEAKER_08]: And he can, you know, just mash it. [SPEAKER_08]: Can't throw a pitch to him. [SPEAKER_08]: If you throw a pitch over the plate, he's going to hit it out. [SPEAKER_08]: He's that good. [SPEAKER_08]: So is he on the 18? [SPEAKER_08]: He's, uh, I don't, you know what, I'm not sure. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm not sure whether it's an A or B. [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, they certainly look like an A team to us. [SPEAKER_08]: So, uh, we had to win out for the rest of the weekend, which we did, uh, but, uh, yes. [SPEAKER_08]: No, I just said nice. [SPEAKER_08]: I have to share with you though, you know, that you can always tell when you go to one of these games about the size differential, you know, because some of the kids are pretty sturdy and they look good. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, I think like the coolest thing that GEO's team are opposition did in the very first game was play a video of the team they actually took. [SPEAKER_08]: Sometimes they have the walk up music, sometimes they have the [SPEAKER_08]: You know, the, the, the P.A. [SPEAKER_08]: announced you're doing, uh, we didn't have anything. [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, we don't do the bells and whistles, and I'm fine with that, but they had an actual video they played of the roster, which I think was for the kids, huh? [SPEAKER_05]: They have a double trombone here. [SPEAKER_08]: They don't have a jumbo trombone. [SPEAKER_08]: They had an actual screen, uh, that was out that they, that they set up. [SPEAKER_08]: And that will just roll the tape of, uh, of the team roster. [SPEAKER_08]: And it's, uh, it's pretty cool. [SPEAKER_08]: Watch this. [SPEAKER_08]: This is the team they play. [SPEAKER_11]: Hi, my name is Joy Penaire. [SPEAKER_11]: I am 12 years old, my favorite food is pizza, and my favorite player is my troupe. [SPEAKER_14]: Hey, my name is Jason Phillips. [SPEAKER_14]: I'm 13 years old, my favorite hobbies. [SPEAKER_14]: I'm going with my friends, my favorite player is my crowd. [SPEAKER_20]: My cool? [SPEAKER_14]: I like it. [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, my name is David Patterson. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm 11, my favorite color is blue, and my favorite player is Ryan Braun. [SPEAKER_05]: So, my name is Ryan McGathey.

[SPEAKER_13]: My name is Flamie Wilson, I'm from New York, my favorite show and I think you're a star and you're a player in my crowd. [SPEAKER_09]: My crowd, all my crowd. [SPEAKER_01]: My name is Francisco Alberto Pena, I'm from Scottsdale. [SPEAKER_01]: My favorite food is granitas. [SPEAKER_01]: 10 years old players. [SPEAKER_01]: Look at the batting averages drive. [SPEAKER_05]: He's 55, right? [SPEAKER_05]: And they're doing good. [SPEAKER_05]: I can play this. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, they are. [SPEAKER_15]: They're two years old. [SPEAKER_15]: I'd like to do this. [SPEAKER_15]: That's a project. [SPEAKER_18]: Hey, I'm Tom Stevenson. [SPEAKER_18]: That ain't ever been $9.73. [SPEAKER_18]: The show is in living colors. [SPEAKER_18]: There players cover, con Jr. [SPEAKER_18]: This is my 10th, third, literally world series. [SPEAKER_18]: Stop! [SPEAKER_06]: I freaking love that what is you I don't know what it is about the construction of it But the fact that most of the guys Alex's father Alex for sharing that with me I appreciate that that maybe laugh out loud the bulk of the adults face it on 11 11 is just funny 11 [SPEAKER_08]: you can have an idea that's a great comedy idea, but it's all about the detail in the execution and that was flawlessly done. [SPEAKER_08]: They were a little bigger, but not that much. [SPEAKER_08]: We got, but we got Redwoods on our team, too. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, that is. [SPEAKER_08]: Alex, he's a big guy. [SPEAKER_05]: That's 11 and 12 year olds. [SPEAKER_05]: It's they're all going through those gross spurs. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes, Derek, it's it's fun and [SPEAKER_08]: That just made me laugh out loud, you know? [SPEAKER_06]: It was sent to you, did it show? [SPEAKER_08]: No, the dad, one of the dads, right next to me, was sharing it with me. [SPEAKER_08]: I laughed a lot, I couldn't stop laughing. [SPEAKER_08]: You know, I know it's good and I know it's going on the show when I just keep laughing about it. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: And I'm just thinking about it because it's that good. [SPEAKER_08]: I think it might have been a key in peel. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm not sure, I'm not sure. [SPEAKER_05]: But it's good scripting because you're right. [SPEAKER_05]: They got the bat and averages right for the guys. [SPEAKER_05]: They got the favorite players to line up with the actual real age of the people. [SPEAKER_05]: Right. [SPEAKER_06]: And their favorite shows like in 11 year old. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh man, the player and the player, Cal Ripkin Jr. Yeah, that's true. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh God, anyway, funny is funny. [SPEAKER_08]: So it was my weekend. [SPEAKER_08]: It was essentially what Carla was out of town for the weekend and she got back on Sunday and was able to see our last game of the weekend, that took place at 130. [SPEAKER_08]: And she was able to see that game, which was great and nice. [SPEAKER_06]: Question for you. [SPEAKER_06]: I know it's been running you ragged for weeks and this weekend, maybe even more than. [SPEAKER_06]: Any of you getting burned on it? [SPEAKER_06]: Are you still all then? [SPEAKER_08]: No, no, you can't get burned on it. [SPEAKER_08]: Okay. [SPEAKER_08]: I think Josh would agree with me. [SPEAKER_08]: It's not burnable. [SPEAKER_08]: You know, if you're kids playing and you're watching him play, it's just it's go go go and we love it [SPEAKER_05]: And it's also when you love baseball, it's at any level, yeah, when things are going, especially when things are going well. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: You know the the litmus test to knowing if you love really love baseball is being able to sit down and watch a little game with other players that your son's not involved in and watch the whole game and enjoy it completely. [SPEAKER_08]: it's the game it's it's the game and I it's rekindled my love of the game of baseball i mean we watch highlights in the car we get home and watch uh... the red socks play after he's played two games it's that it's all encompassing and it's uh... done more and by the way uh... i think Josh might agree with me on this little league baseball alive and well in america the game of baseball i believe the game of baseball at all levels is growing right now [SPEAKER_08]: It is really, it is really growing. [SPEAKER_05]: Playing about crowds at baseball games, but it's 162 games a year. [SPEAKER_05]: You're not going to get sellouts like the NFL. [SPEAKER_05]: It seems to be growing. [SPEAKER_08]: What do you think is growing? [SPEAKER_08]: I think because of the nature of the youth sport, being so all encompassing. [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, we have kids from everywhere at every age, playing with participation with the parents and it is just, [SPEAKER_05]: It's non-stop, and it's great to, I also think it's organized better than any other little kid's sports. [SPEAKER_08]: It's questionable that it might be, as I wait for our next assignment, you know, which we'll probably supposed to be Tuesday night. [SPEAKER_08]
