Here's your host, Rob Radford. There's something missing in Lucas Chialito's life. There is nobody I'd rather be talking to in person. In person. Right. I mean, it just hits different, doesn't it? Yeah. We're here. So a little bit behind the scenes. I flew down to Florida. Lucas has given me the greatest gift of all.
What is Lucas Giolito's current situation in Major League Baseball?
A trip to Florida. There you go. And it's my wife's birthday. Happy birthday, Jen Bradford. There is no better way to celebrate a birthday than this for me to sit down with you. There it is. There we go. Nice shirt, by the way. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's pretty solid. All right. Well, how are you? I'm good. First of all, a couple observations. Your beard has never looked better. It's a little ragged right now, but it's okay. Okay. Has it ever been this full?
Yeah, spring training last year. Okay. The experiment was huge and it got really uncomfortable. Okay. This is just like lack of grooming, I guess you could say. I have no idea. I don't have a barber I trust out here.
Can I tell, because this is all about me, the other day, I'm like, I got to do this. Wrong attachment.
so wrong attachment so you have a real short yeah there's no turning back yeah yeah i don't know if you've ever been there but yeah i so a lot of time when i do mine i freehand it so it's like there's no guard and i'm just like going through looking at different angles trying to like even it out and sometimes you go deep and you'll take a chunk out and then you have to put the guard on there's no turning back try and fix it yeah it's no tournament
And also, as I said to you, you're out throwing. You look fantastic throwing, by the way. But also, you lost weight. Yeah. I mean, you are literally in the best shape of your life.
Yeah. It's hard to say best shape of your life, right? We've talked about this before. We've made t-shirts. It's like the meme of baseball players get spring training. I'm in the best shape of my life. I think it's kind of relative. you know, it's when you're like 23, it's easier to move around than when you're 31. But as far as like my body comp, it's very good right now.
What's your body comp? Give me some good body comp numbers. And by the way, we shouldn't know where I, cause I want a Cressy performance center in Florida. So
Yes. You've been to work where you've been. Yeah, I've been here all off season and obviously now leaking into baseball season. It's a great, great spot for training and throwing.
So when I say the reason, one of the reasons this is this place is amazing. And this is they also when you say body comp, it's not like just guessing, you know, your body comp, correct?
Yeah. Yeah. So end of the season of 25, I was I would say I was on the heftier side. I was up to like north of 270. Right now, I weigh about 250, 252, 253, you know, give or take. And, you know, it's just like lower body fat, higher muscle, skeletal muscle mass, or, you know, however you want to quantify it.
machines tell it's like the skeleton machine yeah so but when's the last time you were 250 whatever 22 maybe 23 really okay yeah all right good for you that's what we were just talking about you take out certain certain things out of your diet it's magical yeah you're just cutting sugar down cut it really yeah cutting sugar down and like having a good good routine getting
getting good protein and it's not too difficult, especially when you're like working out five, six days a week.
Which leads us to you're working out five, six days a week. I just saw you throw. You look, you never look better. Oh, thank you. Throwing change-ups, fastballs. Throwing it all. Throwing it all. Throwing, doing the coil.
