Pepsi Max, Dust Talking Chop podcast. I am your host, Brad Rowland.

It's a much more fun episode on the way because, of course, the Braves won on Sunday evening.

And as of this moment, it is now Monday morning as it's 12.01 a.m. on the East Coast, but I'm joined by someone who's not on the East

Coast. Joe Lucia, man. What's going on? I need some kind of sedative or something that

game was amazing, intense. That was playoff baseball, man. Yeah, playoff baseball is, uh, you know,

not that we had forgotten, because I know you,

you know, you cover sport even more than I do a big picture, but yeah, there's, it's one thing to be

objective when you're covering playoff baseball. It's a lot of fun. It's, you know, it's high stakes.

It's, you know, decisions and the, all of the intrigue that goes along with it. And then you're, and then the team that you want to win is playing. Um, and, you know, I, I, I would say that I am, um, much more media

driven these days and not quite as pure fan experience, but then you throw the Braves in a

playoff game where they're up five runs and try to, and they're trying to implode and it's uh yeah i you know no one no

i think i tweeted this like in the seventh inning like no one in the building or in the city was

comfortable and that was it was fun when it goes well and when it doesn't it's not so much fun but

it went well on this night yeah i mean the final result was obviously incredible but the way that the Braves got there was so stressful, especially those last four innings when they somehow held the Dodgers scoreless.
