So there's more of like a responsibility to keep everybody on the positive side and not necessarily lose hope.

And I think that we kind of as DJs have to bring that energy of keeping people optimistic and engaged and not necessarily losing their pride.

I would say as a fan, it's made me a bigger fan, but I've always been a Jays fan.

I've been watching since I was a kid.

My grandfather was a tremendous Jays fan up until he passed a few years ago.

He was always watching every season.

So it has a very deep meaning to me to be a part of this in even a small capacity.

I was really hoping for them to do the World Series win for him last year.

He would have been very proud to see that.

It definitely has made me a bigger fan, definitely has made me pay attention a lot more, watch more of the games when they're on the road.

So yeah, definitely has made me a bigger fan.

You know, I think that DJs have always been very influential in terms of like culture and style.

So I think that over the years, my kind of style has changed in a lot of ways.

In the last couple of years, I definitely leaned more into the sports apparel.

I mean, I'm wearing a Manchester United baseball jersey right now.

Um, so, um, yeah, I think that it's cool.

I think that, you know, we have a platform to kind of show off our style and for people to kind of like be influenced at the games by wanting to buy the gear or by wanting to, you know, uh, know where you got that from and, or just, you know, have like talking points of being like, Oh my God, like I wear a Billy Koch jersey all the time at the games.

And I, the amount of times the diehard fans are like, Oh my God, Billy go to Koch.

Like,

So it's like moments like that that I kind of live for that I'm really proud of to kind of like have those people who are on my age range who I've been watching the Jays for a long time to remember the guys that we kind of grew up with and recognize and seeing how, you know, they are still fans to this day and, you know, who they're cheering for now and why.
