0:11.1	Introducing your host, NBC Sports Bay Area's Jessica Kleinschmidt.
0:16.1	Welcome back to another episode of Bok Talk presented by Wendy's.
0:19.4	Wendy's doesn't just have breakfast.
0:21.1	It has a breakfast worth talking about. Don't let your friends miss out. Guys, I am pumped for today's
0:28.2	interview. I know I say that every time, and I know I say that I say that every time, but genuinely
0:32.5	this like made, I don't know, I got all the warm fuzzies. I don't know if just because it's

1:34.9	who of course is now with the Giants, one of the guys I love talking about on this podcast.
1:39.4	I think I mentioned him in every single podcast. So we talked about him and what he saw, kind of a late bloomer deal.
1:47.9	And now that he's thriving with the Giants and, you know, my obviously MVP pick for the Giants team.
1:54.8	And we also talked about some uniform situations with the Diamondbacks, which was interesting because heading into the interview,
