Hey, everybody, and welcome to episode number 250, the Chris Rose Rotation, a production of

John Boy Media, and it's a milestone episode. As I said, 250 in the books, so why don't we bring

back an old friend? Yeah, it's Vinnie Pasquintino from your Kansas City Royals. Hello,

stranger. Hello, Chris. Good to see you. Good to be back. Yeah, it is good to have you back. It's good to have you back. We wanted to give you some distance this year. I wanted you to focus on your game and you and the Royals have done a fantastic job, much to my chagrin, which we will get into momentarily. But let's start with this. You are joining us from Detroit, Michigan.

You're not a bedmaker, are you?

I actually moved it, made it a little nicer for you.

No, I'm not a bedmaker, but I made it a little bit nicer for the production quality.

Yeah, I'm not complaining here because most people don't make their beds, particularly on the road.

At home, are you a bedmaker?

No, because I get up first, so I'm already out of bed, and my dog and my wife are still in bed,

so I don't make it because I'm already up and moving by the time they get up.

Really?

You're like even if you have a night game the night before, you're an early riser?

Yeah, I mean, it depends on what you say is early.

She's more of a late riser than I am an early riser.

In the offseason, I'm up at like 7.7.30, but during the season, probably 9, 9.30, something like that. Okay. Is that because you want to go play college football

25? I don't want to just admit this, but you're currently, the computer is on my PlayStation,

and I do have college football up right now. As soon as we're done, I'm going to grab some food and then

lock back in. So I am taking away from your fun while on the road. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,

exactly. That's a good way to look at it. So you do want to make this a seven-minute interview and

move along or what? You know, I don't. Depends on how good or bad your questions are, I suppose.

Well, you know them, so you can be the judge right now.
