Christmas Eve, Chris. Happy Merry Christmas Eve. Jeremy, I'm so happy. Every holiday, as I've gotten into marriage and kids, it's just running around like a madman. And I get to be...
planted this holiday Christmas Eve at the in-laws Christmas at my parents I'm so excited to just be at one place per day I'm excited for you Christmas Eve is always really fun with my in-laws obviously I celebrate Hanukkah my wife is not Jewish and so in turn we get to celebrate Christmas with her family it rocks it's the best I love Christmas it's a nice life and Christmas Eve games with the family should have married a Jewish girl yeah tell Christy Christy Should have married a Jewish lady. I heard it. That was great. Anyway, so here's where we're at. We have a Christmas Eve episode for you guys. I really hope that you're excited for this. And I decided there's nothing better on christmas eve than listening to stan van gundy talk to former baseball managers love it right i mean there's no one more passionate that i know not tim kirkson not either of us hey listen to the pitch clock um but stan van gundy so we have an interview here from 2006 with joe tory
We also have interviews from 2013 with Joe Madden and Jim Leland. And I'll tell you, Chris, in this Joe Madden interview, it made me realize this dude was transcendent. This guy predicted everything that he says in this interview about what they do differently is everything that everyone does in baseball now. It's kind of insane.
This interview was, I assume, before Stugat started ripping him. Yeah, I got a thing late in later in the career. He would rip the glasses.
Yeah, he turned on him. Maybe he declined to come on and do another interview. But either way, this first hour of your show today is going to be three interviews.
