Andre Ethier

Like when I was at Houston, we played ASU.

Pejoria was on that team, Andre Ethier.

Um, and Chris Snyder was catching.

He was a catcher on our team.

There was like an influx of young guys come up.

So like the James Loney, Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, Chad Billingsley.

So like there was a bunch of guys, but Ethier was my dog.

He was my guy.

russell take care that was a lot of fun i love that i love just going old school and reminiscing about that and even like Even Tommy, I saw you perk up a little bit.

When we talk about old school, again, we're not talking 60s.

I could go Andre Ethier.

Ethier was cool, man.

Zach Greinke, top earner, $26 million.

Andre Ethier, $17 million biggest waste of funds.

Andre Ethier, that is a name I forgot about.

And we keep going back a year,

don't we? 2023 New York Mets is number three.

[laughs] Everybody who came to Human Garage came there at first because nothing else worked.

Like when Andre Ethier, when the, uh, came from the Dodgers before the World Series, it's because he'd been on the DL for 18 months and he wanted to play in the World Series.

Mm.

Um, when Tyson Gay came, the world's fastest man before Usain Bolt, it's because he cracked a metatarsal and he was going for the Olympics, and it wasn't working.

Every season is unique.

I learned that from Andre Ethier many years ago, and that's a peek inside the Brewers' side of thinking.

You heard Christian Yelich, they haven't done anything yet.

And, uh, he's a big Laker fan, big Kobe fan, being from Westlake Village, so he knows the Brewers' job is not finished and he knows it's a tall task to knock off the back-to-back champions.

Well, listen, it, it goes back to when I first came to the Dodgers.

You know, Andre Ethier used to always say, "We check your ego at the door." When you play for the Dodgers, that's what you do.

So when you see Shohei Ohtani, a- and Fabian just stated that manager Dave Roberts said, "Hey man, I'm thinking of dropping you down in the order." Sho knows, hey, what, we're all seeing, guess what? Sho's there.

He's, he's [laughs] at the plate.

Okay.

Were you a Dodger fan when Andre Ethier was playing?

Yeah.

Were you a Dodger fan when Sean Green was playing? Okay, so now we're fine.

Um, have any players or staff come into your pizzerias?

Yes, like Andre Ethier came in a few times.

A lot of the, th- this is another special thing to me, is that it's, like, the people who work at the Do- not, not all the, the athletes, although we, we do, I, I don't, I'm not allowed to post about it, but, like, um, we do feed the team numerous times a year.

Um, like we get to-
