Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Los Angeles Angels. Just walking on through. Got a chance to see him. Obviously, friend of the program, friend of the podcast. Participant in the Wasabi Challenge, which I feel like we should bring back, the Wasabi Challenge. But he's there with his great friend, Blake Lubier. Blake, of course, was a minor league pitcher, now looking to get in front offices.
The two of them sit from the same hometown right near Orlando, so it's good to see both of them. But I also wanted to talk to Vaughn about how he felt about this trade, how he felt about his time with the Red Sox, how he feels about his future, all this. He's a good guy, good conversation, good time to catch up, all of it. And you're going to hear Blake as well.
Go to the bat for his good friend, Vaughn Grissom, as he should. It's good to see both of them. Good times at the winter meetings. Good times when you see friendly folks, guys who have good stories, guys who have bright futures. And that's the case with both Vaughn and Blink. All right, here you go. Here's Vaughn Grissom.
There's nobody I'd rather talk to on the planet than Vaughn Grissom right now.
How are you? I'm doing good. You have a new team. Yes, yeah, the Angels. Yeah, pretty good, yeah. Tell me how you found out about it. Um, Bresso, Bresso gave me a call and, uh, you know, I, I figured what it could be about, you know, I'm like, there's only a couple of things he could be calling me about right now.
And, uh, yeah, I'm thankful that he, he's, he made a good deal for me and, and, and, you know, sent me on, on my way.
Is that, is there a sense of, okay, here we go. Like now, listen, I mean, It is what it is, right? Sometimes you just need the right opportunity at the right time. Is that how it kind of feels right now?
Yeah, I'm super grateful for, you know, he took it upon himself and helped me out, you know. And like I said, gave me a good deal, gave me a good opportunity. And, you know, that's all I could ask for really.
What was the thing last year? Because you had some pretty good runs last year. What was the thing last year that you feel like you grew? Because I told you when I saw you outside of spring training, congratulations, I'm building you up right now. But I'm like, you look great. And obviously you were disappointed you got sent down. But what was the thing that you grew from last year?

Chapter 2: How did Vaughn Grissom find out about his trade to the Angels?
No, we haven't talked about it yet, but I'm sure we'll catch up soon and give myself a plan or something to look forward to.

We have a spot over here on University in Orlando. Oh, you do? We have a group of guys that we go out there and work out with.
Oh, man.
Blake's right here with you, like your guy.
All right, Blake, what's going on? I've never seen somebody work hard in the offseason than this guy right here. Really? Yeah, I think you did a great job talking about how he built himself up. Yeah. Put a lot of muscle on, and I think it attributes a lot to his offseason work. I mean, I've never seen somebody stand a gym longer than this guy right here. Really?
Take me out, man. You did the thing last year with the Trevor Stories thing, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was fun.
I just got asked the other day, are you going to the Stories thing again? I'm like, oh, dude, I don't know.
We'll see. So how much are you benching? Because this is like... I don't know benching. I know, nobody benches. The only person, the only person that I've asked that to that actually, like, because all baseball players, I don't bench. Like, I asked DeAndre Bogart, I said, well, I don't bench. But I like asking it because it's... It's got to be Tyler O'Neal. It was Tyler Neal. Tyler Neal.
