effectively wild.

Hello and welcome to episode 2110.

Is that how we would say it Ben?

I think so.

Yeah, 2110.

I'm Meg Rowley, you're Ben Lindbergh.

We are a fangrass podcast presented by our Patreon supporters. Ben, how are you?

We're only two episodes away from a famous Rush album. This is exciting. I'm also

excited because we are going to be joined by a bona fide big leaguer on today's

program. Brent Rooker of the Oakland A's who really is just a joy and I have sort of made fun of the frequent saying that someone is a better person than they are a big leaker.

You know, you hear that all the time, like a great baseball player, even better person person and I don't know how to quite

quantify that how do you quantify how how good a person is relative to how good they are

at baseball. Right. Don't know whether that's true about Brent Rooker but he is certainly a good

baseball player and maybe an even better personality.

Quite an entertaining fellow online and also it turns out on podcast.

So we've already talked to him and I can assure you all that it was fun.

It will be fun for you when you get there.

Yeah, it was a lovely time.

He's generous with his time.

And sometimes I wonder, like, if we need to prep people better,

that we can bob and weave a little bit in weird directions. But I love it when someone doesn't necessarily know that and then just rolls with it and I

appreciated how how much Brent did that. So yeah I look forward to people listening to that
