Order on the backhand. That looks nice play. And he throws out a guy who can really scoot right there, David Ableton. Yeah, a guy that can really fly down the line. That's good work by Nico. Not an easy play at all.

Yeah, I'm usually in a random part of a stadium, so nice to sit in person with you guys and hang out in the middle of the day.
You you've been so diligent about being awesome on our radio show, our goofy little afternoon show. And visually you're right. You m you make a point to like go find a different place in the stadium. I'm I'm trying to think in like what four years? We've been doing that for four years?
Yeah, we got a good rhythm going.
Unbelievable. I I don't think you've ever been in a restaurant for it. For it?
No. We're gonna check all the boxes.
Would you would you like a dinner roll? Would you like some steaks?
I'm good for now. But I gotta water.
All right. Well there's th there there's options here, wildfire.
What what is your pregame meal? What do you typically do on a day like this?
Uh I'm usually pretty light before the game and then I eat a irresponsible amount afterwards and kinda go through that cycle of things. Um so yeah.
Our segment with Nico is sponsored by Chicagoland Toyota dealers. Visit your Chicagoland Toyota dealer or Toyota dot com today.
I'm sorry, you said you eat an irresponsible amount after the game?
Yeah. I mean usually pretty active, but then you eat a big meal at like eleven at night and then you're not hungry in the morning and kinda on that cycle usually.
Yeah. And then and then so what do you do to to write the ship? Do you not have you had breakfast? Do you eat it?
No, I haven't eaten anything yet today.
Amazing. Yeah. So it's it's how it and yet you maintain the disposition of a highly tuned athlete. That's right.
I but that's the season though, isn't it? I feel like there's there's your off season shape and then there's your in season shape and sometimes those are two different things. Especially good day, bad day at the office with a chef in the house, you might want different food.
Yeah, food's an important thing. I think sitting down after a game and eating with teammates is a it's a very important thing throughout the season and a lot of us conversations happen there, a good reflection, and then you go home and do it again.
No, uh that that's pretty cool. What what are the conversations like uh a after last night's game, after putting up seventeen runs on the roof?
Every day at the ballpark's obviously, you know, so different and sometimes, you know, crazy things like that happen and um yeah, just there's so many guys that were part of of the production yesterday and that's always a good feeling.
