 Welcome to the John Boy Media Trivia Show, episode number one, and we are joined by 2018 MVP, Christian Yelich. Christian, how you doing? Great, how are you guys? We're doing well, we're excited. Are you good at trivia? Sometime, I guess we're about to find out. Yeah? Trivia, I think I'll be good about myself. Trivia about myself, I should be able to nail that. Some athletes have crazy recall about their own games and crazy memories, so we'll put it to the test. Do you have photographic memory? I'm actually usually pretty good about in-game recall, especially about my own career, so I've always thought that, but I think we're about to find out. All right, how it works is the first round is five questions about Christian's own career. Second round, Jeopardy style with four categories, and third round is the big question at the end. If you get seven points, Yelich, we will be eating Miss Bong fish sausage cake. Sounds amazing. We really don't know what it is. We don't really know what it is. Fish sausage cake. We don't know if it's a meat or a cake. They come in a wrapper, so. Where'd you guys find those at? The Korean market by my house. We can send you some. Yeah, if it's good. Hopefully I get seven right, and then you can tell me if they're good or not. Yes, and then we'll send you. All right, here we go. Question number one. In the 2016 season, Giancarlo Stanton led the Marlins in home runs with 27. You had the third most on that team with 21. Who had the second most home runs on the 2016 Marlins? Oh, who's on the 2016 Marlins? I don't think it was, I don't think Ozuna had the second most, maybe. It's either Ozuna, Real, Muto, or Boer, one of those three. I think Ozuna spent some time in the minors that year, so I don't know if it was him, but he came back pretty hard. He came back and did pretty well. I think Boer, trying to remember if Boer debuted in 15 or 16. All around this. I just got my own career, this isn't about. Well, you were chasing him down. You were chasing him down for home runs. I had 21 home runs that season. I'm gonna go. Trust it. I want to say Ozuna, but I'm gonna go Boer. So Ozuna. Ozuna? Yeah. He had 23. Here's where he spread out. Yeah, he had 23, you had 21. So at the end of the season, you guys were in a little race. Damn, I should have gone Ozuna. I knew it. You didn't know it. It was your gut instinct. I didn't know. Yeah, I didn't know. I was like, I wanted to say it, but I knew he got sent down for like a month that season, I think. Maybe it was 15 though. I'm not sure. I think he got sent down at 15. Okay. It's a hell of a squad, those Marlins teams. Well, we could swing it a little bit. We lied about the first question being about you, but this one is in fact about you. The pitcher you have the most hits off of is Jacob de Gromp. Nice little flex right there by you. Of those 15 hits, how many went for extra bases? Not a lot. I think my only extra base hits are emergency, two strike. Oh my God, it's not a slider. It's a hundred mile an hour fastball right down the chalk on my third baseline. With those count as doubles. I don't think I have any triples or homers off of them. I think. That's correct. Yeah. I think I have, it's been like three or four years since I faced them too. Since I got traded, I haven't. We faced them in the 19, but no extra base hits that day. I think two. Two is correct. Correct. Yes. Awesome. Your numbers again. Two emergency play doubles. Yeah. Yeah, but I mean, those are deceptive. They say I have good numbers off Kershaw two, but if you look up, if you pull up the actual hits, you know, there are a lot of singles. Singles count. I think a lot of them are like that too. Those count, man. I'll take them every day. I'll take, I'm not complaining about it, but they're not lasers all over the field. Degrom it ain't happy about them. I'll tell you that. All right, you're one for two. In 2018 and 2019, you had a one dot OPS. Since 2010, only five other players, besides you, have two or more seasons with a one dot OPS named two of those players. It's also not about you. So we wrote, you know, Sarah, but we're just trying to flex here. Not a lot of people have done it. Two other players that have had two seasons with a one dot, blah, blah, blah OPS since 2010. So it doesn't have to be consecutive or just like two total or not. Not everyone can do it consecutive like you. Well, trout's pretty easy. So that's one, right? That's the easy one. Yeah. They're actually, you'll get them, you'll get them. Pretty easy. Is Miguel Cabrera another one? Boom. There you go. That was like the first two. Vado, Harper and JD Martinez also have had it. No, I was going to go Vada next because he always has like a 700 on base percentage. His stats are gross, man. I wanted to ask you about those two seasons, MVP and then second MVP. You know, the second year you led in every slash line, the first year you led in every slash line besides on base percentage. I didn't even look this up. I wanted to know if you know like who beat you in on base percentage. Would you have known that? In 19 or 18? Your MVP season, I believe. In 18? Yeah. Probably Vado. I didn't look it up. We skipped that one, but I was just like, damn. I didn't know. I led in 19 though. Yeah, in one of those years, you led in all of them. 19. Is Vado cool? You get to first base in a sincey game and are you guys yucking it up? Yeah, okay. It's the best. You got to get him on here. Okay. Done. Good get. It's entertaining for sure. He's one of them. He might be one of my favorite guys. Might be my favorite guy. He's definitely one of my favorites, but him and Freddie Freeman are pretty high on the list of first base conversation in the league. They're big time yuckers. All right. So what are we? Two for three. Two for three? Not a bad day at the office. Question four. You've seen 220 3-0 pitches in your career. You've swung at a 3-0 pitch only seven times. One of those seven swings resulted in a home run. Can you give us any details about the 3-0 homer? Yeah. Went to the opposite field, was against the Royals. Junis was pitching, I think that's how you say his name, right? Yup. And the reason it went to the opposite field, because it was 3-0 and he's got to get sinker. And I was thinking like, all right, for some reason I was like, I was hitting third for the first time all season that year and Bronny was at second base. So guy in scoring position 3-0 and I was like, I'm going to swing here, but I'm not going to be an asshole about it and try and go pull side homer and roll over this 3-0 to Seymour to second base. So I'm going to really make sure I stay on it. And I stayed on a little too much, but ended up being a homer. And everybody came back and was like, how did you hit a 3-0 homer to the opposite field? And I was like, well, I was trying not to roll it over to second or first on the sinker that was about to come and just accidentally hit it over the fence to way left field. That was beautiful. Yeah, we had Junis, Bronn on second. Do you know Slider? Was it a Slider? It was a 90 mile per hour Slider. Yeah. No, it was a 2-Seymour. 2-Seymour? 2-Seymour. Yeah, it's 2-Seymour. It's supposed to be on live. They blew it. Okay. Only seven swings. Yeah, three for four now. Of the seven swings, you only swung and missed at one 3-0 pitch. Do you remember that detail? This is the not fun version of this question. Yeah, it was a 3-0 slider from a lefty on the Cardinals. I don't know if it might have been web, maybe, that was pitching. And because I remember telling, I remember laughing about it with Yachty. And then I swung it at the next 3-1 slider and capped it, but it was into the shift and I got a single out of it. Oh yeah. The one I had, it was Granky who threw you like, it was a 3-0 nasty. Oh, he threw me a 3-0, like, split or change up too. So I swung twice, I swung twice 3-0. Just a rude 3-0 pitch from Granky there. Just called your block. Yeah, but I should have known that one was, I should have known that one was gonna happen too. Like, I should have not swung it that one, but I couldn't help it and I decided to gamble and see what happened, but it didn't work out. All right, number four. I would have walked. I would have walked. You would have walked. And then I got out on the next pitch. Damn, Granky. All right, question number five. You have faced eight pitchers with Wood in their last name, W-O-O-D. Anywhere. Can you name four of them? Alex. Yes. I faced seven guys with the last name Wood. Eight. No, not the last name Wood. Wood is in their last name. In their name. So like Woodruff that counts? Yep, that's two. Okay, so I faced Woodruff. Let's see. Wasn't there a lefty on the Cubs in like 2013? Fuck, what's his first name? Damn, that's a hard one. It's a tough one. He asked me this one and I struggled and I'm a baseball nerd. So the whole like, if it was just the last name Wood, it'd be a lot easier by having like Wood in your name. Well, there's two others with the last name just Wood. Really? They're kind of deep cuts. Yeah, I don't, yeah. They're from like, they're like way back though, like 13, 2013, 2014. So I think you were on to the Cubs one. There's actually a couple Cubs on here, hint. Well, I know, I faced them in my first game ever playing at Wrigley. I'm, why can I not think of his name? It's not Travis. It's, Not a close, isn't it? Is it Travis? Travis Wood, that's three. Travis Wood. Is it Travis? Yep. Okay. So was that three? That's three. I can give you a hint. There's one, a color is involved. Wow. Like not like, not Redwood, right? Not Redwood. All of them, how many do I have to name? Just one more. Do you want more? Just one more. You can phone a friend. You gotta call up someone, call up a teammate. Hey, you don't need woods in the league? Woodruff, I mean, Woodruff is a good one. Woodruff was a good one. That was a sneaky one, yeah. There's also a guy that shares, there's two guys that share first names with us. Whoa. If that helps you get anywhere. That is me more confused. Are those the ones with the wood? Not just wood. Is there any just wood or not, not just wood? There's one more just wood. Was one of them on the Braves? I mean, how it's wood was, but did they have another guy that was on the Reds now? I don't know. Was one of them on the Reds? Reds maybe. Looks like a Red name. He could have been a Red. The one that jumps out was another cubby. The other ones are like kind of deep cuts. It's a hard question. It's the fifth question. It's a hard question. Oh, wood. Is there like a wood ring on there? Wood ring. Wooding, as a wooding error. I think we're gonna, all right, we'll buzz you out. Yeah, I'm out on this one. Jake Woodford? Not familiar. Black, Blake Wood? No. James Norwood? Norwood. Yeah, that was a cub one. Nick Greenwood? Nah. And Tyler Chatwood? Oh, damn it. I shouldn't have known that one. Tyler was the one I blanked on it before too, and then it's such a weird question. That one should have been like the easiest one. It's an odd question. You don't normally hear it phrased find the wood in this name. Well, thank you. Thank you. That's all right. So three out of five in the round one. It's a good first round. Good first round. Not terrible. All right, round two. We have four categories for you. You get four questions. You can ask two from the same category or one from each category. However you want to play it, Jake, what are the categories today? Your categories to pick from are Christians, itches, name that hat, and what's that sound? Let's go, what's that sound? Okay. What's that sound? Producer BBD, can you play him the sound? That's when someone goes deep in Houston, right? Yeah, you could go even easier than that. Just a train. Yeah. A train, yeah. I thought that had to be like baseball thing, but yeah, they play that train. I've heard that a couple of times. This trivia is not necessarily baseball related, but yes, the train in Houston, yes. Do you remember when that guy was asleep and they just zoomed in on him and he was just sitting in the driver's seat asleep? Just knocked out. Yeah, I actually do remember that. They went viral, felt bad for him, and then all he just depends were like, hey, don't blame him, this is a boring game. Yeah, long day, man, long day. All right, there you go, you're three, four points now. You can run back what's that sound. You can go to name that hat, Christians or itches. Let's go Christians. All right. Okay. The religion based on the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Christianity. Nailed it. Yes. There we go. Bingo. All right. You can run Christians. That's a pretty big Christian. Yeah, that's one of the big ones. Most popular Christians probably. Itches. Is there one about hats? Yes, name that hat. All right, name that hat. This is a good one. This one's probably pretty hard. Yeah. Or you want? No. You're here? Yeah. Okay. Can you name that? Can you name what that hat is? Like, very stylish. Like a fedora? Boom. Fedora, bang. All right, whatever you choose now, you're getting the hard version. You got what's that? This was a thing on the line, right? Yeah. What's that sound? We're done with the easy stuff. Itches, Christians or name that hat. I really wish I nailed that chatwood question earlier. Yeah. I don't know. I really want to see you guys eat these things, so I really want to nail this right now. So I don't know. I feel like you can make something impossible no matter what I pick. So let's go. They're pre-planned, so we can't pivot that much. Let's go itches. All right. It's not got one from each category. A highly contagious airborne disease that results in a skin rash that forms small blisters, which eventually scab over. Damn, I did not go to med school, but I think I know this one, though, actually. It's the scab parts, the clue. Highly contagious disease, airborne disease that forms blisters that eventually scab over. Correct. Is it deadly? No. Maybe at times, not anymore. That's kind of a big clue. Is everybody's vaccinated against it? Ooh, maybe. Is it smallpox? Ooh, they got it. Chickenpox. Not smallpox. Did you get chickenpox or did you get to the vaccine? Because I got it. I think I got the vaccine, yeah. Well, we were like the last age, because I think my little sister didn't get it, but I definitely got it. You got to take a bath in tomato soup and shit like that. All right, boy, hey. I definitely didn't get chickenpox. You got one more question. Round three is the big one. If you get it correct, we got to eat the fish cakes. If you get it wrong, fish cakes get pushed for another day. Jake, what is the third round question now? You have to decide if this story pertains to me or Jake. Who was it that this happened to or who did this? Okay, I'm leaning that one or that one? I don't know. What are you thinking? Do that one. Yeah, okay. All right. Final question, Jake or Jimmy? Jimmy or Jake? Which one of us got strapped to a gurney and transported off campus and heavily sedated for being way too drunk on campus? I mean, that's a coin toss right there. It really is. I mean, you seem like you've done that multiple times, which is, I mean, that's fine. But I feel like the obvious, I feel like these things are not gonna be the obvious ones, but strapped to a gurney and carried off campus. That's a good one. It's not like a headline you read the next day and you just go like, what the hell happened to you? What party was that at? What schools did you both go to? Like what? Same college. Same college. Central Connecticut State. CCSU. Blue Devils. I was gonna get trivia question out and never got even another to Central Connecticut. Not a lot of people know that. We might have to sign that, yeah. D1, whatever. Two of the most famous alumni that come out of there. At this point in the world. There's an GM, right? Yeah. What GM? Ricky Vitalico. We're getting sidetracked with like this Ploof. Does Ploof think he's like the most like well-known internet guy over there? No. He's scared of everyone. He's got juice in Minnesota and Philly Spring Training. That's it. Big Philly Spring Training guy. Huge Philly Spring Training guy. I watched the preparation leading up to that one. I'm gonna go Jake with this one. Wrong. It was me. I knew, see? I knew it wasn't gonna be the obvious one. Fitch, fish sausage goes for another. Yes, I got, I was flipping off cars in the middle of the street. I think it was an 80s party. Stressed in an 80s party and then my roommate locked me out of the dorm so I was sleeping in the hallway and someone ratted on me and they called the campus police who were like, we need to take you. And I was like, this is my dorm room. You don't need to take me anywhere. And I put up a fight. Oh, big fight. Kicking and screaming. And then they were like, get on the gurney and I jumped on the gurney and I was like, you got me. And I started clapping for them. And then they strapped me down. Then they double strapped me. And then they gave me so many drugs. I don't remember the next three days. They did one of the hospital scenes where someone's going crazy. They had to sedate him. Classic misunderstanding. Yes, yes, yes. It's a good one. They sent my mom the bill and she said, not paying this because you didn't need to do that. And they were like, okay, fair. Fair's fair. Fair's fair. We got it. Thank you very much for joining. That's the John Boy Media trivia show. We dodged the bullet today. We may have to eat them in the future. I do not want to eat them. That was pretty hard though. That was pretty, those were pretty hard questions. You're waiting on to eat those sticks.
