Chapter 2: What was Al's experience as a lawyer?
And then in a weird way, I got really confident and quiet. And I went, oh, yeah, I do love pressure. I perform best under pressure. I was like, oh, I'm going to kill this. This is going to be great. And then when I got done that show. everyone was like, that was, it was probably the best show I've ever performed in my life.
That one show, that second show once in your time was the cleanest, tightest, most perfect hour of material. I mean, I think my materials gotten better, but that one hour. And then I, I got done almost like when you get, when you get like a close plane flight and you get down and you're like, were we, were we about to die? And I remember thinking that night I was like, do I really love pressure?
Or is it like, or is that just something you said when we were kids, when I was playing baseball? No.
Well, I saw it in baseball. That's what I saw. I didn't see it in academics. I kept looking. I asked mom, maybe I don't see it. Actually, that's not true. You're a senior Jesuit. If you had an A average, I think you're exempt from final exams, right? Yeah. And you're exempt. So maybe it's true. But, you know, in baseball, you know, I coached you since you were like 8, 10 years old, whatever.
Yeah. And I could always count on you making contact. You always hit the ball. I never thought you'd strike out. I always thought he's going to hit the ball, whether it's in play and he gets a base hit or whether it grounds out. But I said, he's going to hit the ball.
Do you remember, what is your favorite memory of me playing baseball?
And I'll tell you two of mine. I'm trying to think. I mean, my favorite time was when I coached you. Yeah. Because it was so much fun. And I remember on one occasion, which I think was probably most sticks in my mind the most, is we used to have practice, what, two nights a week? And so we were getting ready for a game on Saturday morning, and we sit there as a group.
And the parents were kind of intense at times. And Drew McCall said to me, hey, coach, because we sat down and we were struggling a bit. Drew says to me. I remember this. He said, coach, we're still kids. And I said, Drew, I know that. He goes, no, no. I watch cartoons before I come here. And I said, Drew, what's your point? He goes, you don't treat us like kids. You treat us like adults.
He said, there's a lot of pressure you're putting on us. And I thought, I said, the damn kid's right. Yeah. So from that point forward, we never had another practice. We had scrimmages. Yep. And I would pitch, everyone would get to hit, and everyone would get to run, and we'd have like a scrimmage instead of having practice, instead of hitting ground balls or fly balls and doing all that nonsense.

Chapter 3: How did Al Kreischer handle stressful cases in law?
About three or four years ago. How long was it? Was that three years ago? It was when your show came out. When your movie came out. My movie came out, yeah. I had never been to a show. It was kind of like baseball. I liked to stand out in left field. And watch from there because I didn't like all the chatter. I didn't want to put stress on you by watching you.
Yeah.
So I always stood out in left field. It's the same with your shows. I mean, I remember after doing comedy for 10 years, I said to Andy, I said, God, she said, why don't you go? I said, I'm nervous. He may bomb. She said, Dad, he may think he bombed, but no one else does. He said he always does well. Yeah. I had trouble accepting that.
And then in February, I guess it was, of three years ago, you asked me to go to the arena. And I brought all of my friends, all six of them. I think I brought them. Well, you actually did.
Yeah, I think I got you guys a Sprinter van.
No, Larry actually.
Oh, Larry got his Sprinter van?
Yeah. He rented a Sprinter van. And Todd Teller was there. Larry was there. And Bob Orff. And it was overwhelming. when I sat up there and I saw these big screens next to you, 10 feet tall or whatever they are. And to see the excitement in the crowd, it was very emotional time for me. That and when you premiere, the premiere I couldn't handle. I had a big emotional, you remember that? Yeah.
You're getting emotional, bud. I don't cry on podcasts.
