Thank you for having me.

It's great.

I always enjoy my time back here.

It's been an action-packed last few days.

1-0 pitch, foul, back, 1-1.

I was doing a little bit of stuff with my Mary Brown's Chicken collaboration.

I went to Holland Bowl View Hospital this morning and unveiled a very nice lounge for the teens over there that the J-Scare Foundation and I collaborated on.

And yeah, all this stuff around the bobblehead today has been cool to hang out with Edwin all day, and it seems like things are going to change.

He's been busting my chops all day long, so I don't have to sit there and tolerate it.

That's right.

We used to go and visit from time to time.

We obviously took turns.

The whole team used to go in and out of there.

Just, you know, show up, spend some time with the kids and whatnot.

So, you know, as part of my retirement and level of excellence celebrations, one of the gifts that the Jays decided to shower me with was an allocation of money to redo something around town.

And we picked Holland Bloorview Hospitals and their teen lounge, and it came out great.

It gives people a little bit, and the kids there, and their families a space to kind of enjoy unplugged from having to go through treatments and such.

So I think it allows them to kind of take a break from things from time to time.

A little bit.

I wish I was that good at design.
