0:00.0 | All right, very excited to welcome in former Yale standout baseball player. |
0:04.2 | I'm going to preface that first and current governor of the great state of Florida, |
0:09.0 | Mr. Ron DeSantis. Governor, I appreciate you coming on, my friend. It's good to get you on. |
0:14.0 | Oh, it's great to be here. Thanks for having me. |
0:16.1 | Definitely, and I want to jump right in. I know you're a little busy around this time of year, |
0:20.0 | really all the whole year when it comes down to it. But you know, we talk about on the show, |
0:24.9 | how sports is a teacher of life, how team sports are a teacher of life, |

1:26.3 | didn't know any better. So our goal was to get to Williamsport and we did, and we didn't win |
