And welcome to Light Years.

Andy Lou, we're recording this on a pleasant Friday afternoon. Friday, June 11th.

The San Francisco Giants and Oakland A's are in first place right now. And there was a,

there was an interesting article today on ESPN. I was kind of waiting to see when ESPN would

do a story on the Giants because they're kind of the surprise team of baseball. Like everyone

knew the A's were going to be good. Everyone knows the Dodgers were going to be good,

et cetera, et cetera. But the Giants are kind of that one team. No one predicted to be competitive

who's in first place in division and so we get this

great article today that kind of I feel like it compiles everything we've been like bits and peace

seeing and hearing over the last year I was thought we were going to get this earlier I thought

we were going to get it from maybe the Bay Area

Media. Actually, I don't know. I thought, I didn't, I don't know. Somebody was going to write this thing.

I guess me and you were talking about it for a long time. I am very happy it came out.

A quarter, a little bit over a quarter through the baseball season, Sam. And I guess the Giants

have to be taken seriously at this point.

I don't even know whether to take them seriously, but I think one needs to be taken seriously

is the process from which they built this baseball team. I think everything they did is real.

Like that's the cool part. Absolutely. Like they might not end up holding off the Dodgers who have

a superstar team right now.

But, like, they're way too far into the season to not take this team seriously.

And your point is correct.

The process is what we want to focus on today.
