What insights does Jake Mangum share about his passion for baseball?
Yeah, there should be some passion. This doesn't have to be boring.
You don't get bored by baseball. Okay, one thing the game needs is more people like you.
You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You.
You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You.
You.
Thank you. That's crazy. No, it's not so crazy. There's a lot to talk about. I appreciate you. First of all, anytime I see anybody, any athlete, especially any baseball player, who is interested in doing a podcast, which you are, correct?
Yeah, I enjoy it.
Just talking ball. Yeah. So... I'm fascinated in talking about it. And I think I told you yesterday about, you know, my conversation with Mookie Betts and what he said, Jake, was that it made him, it made him look at things differently because like when you're answering questions in front of your locker, you're sort of just answering and you're not like asking back, you know? So for you, like, what is the thing that you like about it?
How does Jake Mangum feel about podcasting as an athlete?
What is the thing that sort of drew you to it? And just take anything you want to talk about that I'm interested in.
Well, I wouldn't be here in the major leagues if it wasn't for other people like allowing me to learn from them. So just being able to interview people and figuring out, you know, how they operate, how they process things really helped me because I learned stuff from them. And yeah, it's it's very it's much different than just answering questions. When you're the one asking the questions, you realize how difficult it is to be the interviewer. And that's something I've definitely noticed. Yeah, Mookie's right, man. You do learn. how difficult it is to ask good questions. It's tough. And you do it with Brandon, correct? Walker? Yeah, yeah. We haven't started our show yet, but I did my own little thing for a while.
I did some stuff for my university, Mississippi. Okay, okay. Yep, and me and Brandon are going to get to it at some point, but we're not in any rush.
Okay. All right. I saw that. By the way, what was it? The proceeds go to NIL? Yeah, we were going to get it all. Oh, man. See, that's what podcasting can do great things. Like, we have this podcast, the other podcast at Odyssey, the other national baseball podcast, it's Brett Boone's podcast. So, science would suggest if you do a podcast, you become a hitting coach. And, you know, you do a podcast, you do great things. So, excellent. So, I mean, when it comes to, what interests you about that? Like, I find... what you said fascinating in the sense of like, you're accepting that when you're looking around, you're trying to learn. When you're listening, you're trying to learn. I remember the guy for me, Tori Lovello, is a guy who every single time you talk to him, he would be answering questions.
For you, where did that come from? Is that something you always have done?
What lessons has Jake learned from interviewing other baseball players?
And where has that sort of hit for you the most?
Just over the years. I like picking people's brains. I like learning how they operate. There's a common theme with successful people in the game of baseball and in life. They typically have some same characteristics, and I just like learning about it. I like learning how they learn those things. I like learning how they process things. I like learning... the stories of how they learned, all that different stuff. So it's just, I'm just, I'm always trying to learn. I'll be, I'll never stop trying to learn because this is, as far as the game of baseball goes, it's just a difficult game that no one's perfect in. So you just keep trying to learn. And as far as the podcast goes, I'm just trying to help my university out in Mississippi State any way I can.
Love that place, love what they did for me, and I'll always support them. The what is the thing that do you do listen to podcasts? First of all, not too much. I'm so busy with baseball. I listen to music, watch TV shows every now and again. Are you a Netflix guy?
It's whatever. It's any good show. Any, any. So I just wondered, like, if there was like sometimes I listen, even doing these interviews, right? You're going to teach me something today.
