Um, as far as the podcast is concerned, like I said, you get all the big names, man. Like you go through that podcast and it's big name after big name. You just had Ozzie on, right? Ozzie Gheon with with his jersey being retired. How did the Ozzie Gheean podcast go?
Went good. Ozzy's always a good hit he's always he's always good for a for a story or two. I w Ozzy and I played together in ninety-nine uh with the Braves. Okay. And he he was uh utility player on that team. And then through the years he went on to coach and manage. And I played against him quite a bit. And we just kind of kept in contact. When he was that Braves year, Ozzy Jr. was running around and and uh I've kept in contact. contact with him. So I saw his jersey was retired. I called him. He said, sure, I'll come out. So yeah, Ozzy's always fun. And like I said, he's always good for a he he's always good for a good quote.
What is Brett Boone’s background and why is he featured on the show?

Now that I think about it, I know he's talked about with that Braves team a lot because there are comps that he's made to some of the players that he got to play with.

You know, that's a that's one of those teams things that I think you probably remember for a long time.
Well, I think there was you know, I I did a lot of time in the nineties playing against the Braves. So the one year I did play with them ninety nine, it was kinda nice. 'Cause the first thing I thought about when I got the call and said you're traded to the Braves, I thought, okay. Good chance I'm going to the postseason and secondly I don't have to face that that Tandem. Or or or that quartet of of Maddox, Boltz, Glavin, whoever whoever else they had for that particular year. Uh Millwood. Yeah, Kevin. Millwood was our guy actually in ninety-nine. He was kind of the ace. I think Milley won seventeen, eighteen, I don't know, nineteen games, but he was he was our horse in ninety-nine. But that team through that decade, it w it was unbelievable the way they they kept that core in place, you know.
