Well, what are some of those things, Joe, that you bring into the clubhouse when a new guy arrives and go, "Okay, this is what we do here"? How do you scr- describe the culture that you're trying to set, uh, for a franchise in Saskatoon?

Well, the big thing is just, uh, when we're recruiting guys, just recruiting good people.

Obviously you want good baseball players, but it's equally important to have good people and, and guys who kind of buy into what we are doing.

You know, we do a lot of stuff in the community.

Uh, we don't just show up at the field and, you know, play a game.

We do a bunch of early work and, and get some work in and, and that type of stuff.

So you want guys that fit that and, and guys that just enjoy baseball, 'cause it's a lot of, you know, it's a lot of games over a short period of time and, and, uh, you know, when you find a big group like this that all enjoys the game and, and just good people, then that's when, that's when good things happen

So how do you address a team last night after the win knowing, "Hey, you might be out tomorrow morning"? Uh, like what's that moment like to celebrate, but also knowing, "Hey, these are the last minutes that we're gonna be together as a group"?

Okay, what is the biggest thing an organization in the WCBL needs to have success as quickly and consistently as the Berries have had? Aside, of course, from having an excellent manager.

No, the big thing is you just have to treat your players well.

Treat your players well.

Give them the resources to stay healthy.

As an organization, don't cut corners with stuff and and just treat the players well, create an environment and a culture that's going to be successful.

And, you know, and like our group, what our group does a great job too is getting in the community, and we have a very good community following, and the city backs us.

And, yeah, just kind of a little bit of everything.

And what's that like to be a part of?

[instrumental music] Hmm.

Again, it's like Williams using this regal, maybe, like, clarinet or whatever it is.

[instrumental music] Here's what this cue does for me, just Joe's listening.

[instrumental music] This is...[instrumental music] Then we have this.

[instrumental music] Kinda clears out for a moment.

It's this kind of powerful thing, and then this is Americana.

This is Kansas.

There's so many great composers out there, but imagine being, you know, Steven Spielberg and, you know, you know that your temp score is not going to be as good as what John, you're listening, you're going, oh, that's pretty good, but John Williams will make it better.

... throughout the scene?

Listen, I think the script we got, you know, we had a, like as Ben mentioned, really strong...

I think the script worked really well.

And I think, again, to Ben's point, you're also banking on a 40-year relationship with these guys.

Has been friends as kids, and so when you, you know, when you enter- And also, you know, you got the two, you know, the, the kind of the, the top of the food chain.

When they're, when they're behaving the way, w- they were, and kind of game and kind of ready to go, everybody came to work and, and work hard.

And I think that inside that stuff, [clears throat] they all said really good notes.

Right.
