Hey, everybody, and welcome to episode number 236 of the Chris Rose rotation, a production of

John Boy Media. And I love doing the show. You guys know that. Love talking to players.

But it's especially great when we get a Major League manager in, like Pat Murphy, the Milwaukee

Brewer. Skip, how are you today? I'm doing great, thanks.

Oh, boy. First of all, you're joining us from Pittsburgh on your road trip.

Like, that is a great shot.

Did they give you the suite of all sweets there?

I've got a pretty nice room that I don't really need, to be honest with.

They're wasted money.

No, that's not true.

Hey, listen, man, when you're the man in charge, you've got to walk around a little bit like, hey, like if the players were ever to knock on your door on a road trip, which I'm sure never happens. But they got to walk in

and be like, damn, all right, this dude means business. I don't know if that indicates that or not,

but it's a hell of a nice room. Okay, good, good. Well, listen, we got a lot of ground to cover. Super excited. We wanted

obviously talk to you about your team and getting your first full-time, you know, crack at the

major leagues at age 65 and all that sort of stuff. But I don't think a lot of people know your

backstory. So I'm glad we're not in the same room because you probably would have just

landed at least a jab, if not an uppercut.

You really wanted to be a boxer when you were growing up?

I did all the sports, Chris, and I love boxing, and I did it for quite some time.

It's always stayed in my life.

I still hit the bag.

I still love to spar with people.
