Hey Mike, did you get your phone? Checked out. I thought your phone was going to be buzzed yesterday. We did it. It didn't work yesterday. It was working as brand new. So yeah, it was it was it was charged fully charged and working and.

And we had plenty of phone calls and text messages on it. So yep, just just couldn't find a deal that we liked it. We wanted to pull the trigger on.

So we were talking about that earlier in the show. Let's just say the GM of the Blue Jays Ross Atkins. So I'm sure you know.

This is a Ross Ross Atkins wants to talk to you about, you know, yeah, Finnegan anybody. Does he text you first or does he call you right away?

I mean, some guys some guys text say, hey, you got a minute or some guys just call. I just called. You know, we've got all the numbers in my phone. I just pop it and talk to the guy and.

And if he doesn't answer, I just leave a message or then maybe I'll text him. So hey, it got something for you and got an idea or whatever.

But yeah, it's it's not rocket science. It's communication and and you know, everyone's on the phone as, you know, about the same. So, you know, it's if you if you don't give a if nobody answers and you know, you know, he's going to call you right back. So.

Mike, I know I'd be a bad baseball GM one because I don't know that much about baseball. And when people call me, I tend not to answer the phone.

Like I just I just and then if they leave a voicemail, God forbid, I'm not I'm not checking. I'm not going into voicemail. How like I need to text, I think.

Well, I, you know, I'm kind of the same way when it's not this time of year, but that, you know, when in my phone, if you if you call me in your name pops up, I'm, you know, I answered.

But if if I don't have you in my book or something, then then I'd usually just go to voicemail, but I do listen to the voicemail afterwards.

What would happen if Jason Bishop called you on trade deadline day?

Okay, down your phone. Jason does text them on occasion Jason Bishop.

Oh, yeah. You would you would answer that call.

If I wasn't doing anything better, I probably would have a little discussion.

I think I texted you a couple of years ago on trade day.

And I don't think I got a response.

Yeah.

You probably were trying to do what to do to your fantasy don't trade tray. I think it's what you texted him.

Cause that was your daughter's favorite.
