Joey Votto

Nellie in Kansas leads us off.

Hi, Nellie.

Well, I think the more I know you, the more apt I am to ask you a tougher question.

But I got to be fair to them.

I try not to do gotcha.

And I think there are certain questions you have to ask certain people.

How they answer those, that's up to them.

But they know I have to do a job.

And that could be asking a question.

I refuse to do any interviews where somebody says or their PR person says, he's not going to talk about that.

And the number of times we've said that,

then it's a no-go.

We can't do it.

And Todd's usually the messenger where I say, Todd, tell them we can't do it.

Yeah, Todd.

Or there's the, we need to see a list of the questions, which is, how are you supposed to get a decent response if they can kind of rehearse ahead of time what they're going to say to the questions?

Yeah, never, never do that.

But I got to be fair to you.

And I think the reason why you get a lot of the interviews we get is they know I'm going to be fair.

I'll do my homework.
