00:00You came very close to becoming the Mets manager.
00:03You had three interviews.
00:04Tell me about that situation.
00:06I was excited about the job, you know,
00:08and I was excited to meet Brody and all the people that I met through it.
00:11They have a great interview process.
00:13I mean, it was tremendous.
00:15I mean, literally, I was sitting there at one point in a round table.
00:18They showed video of a game, and then they would stop it.
00:21And I was armed with all the information, who was available in the bullpen,
00:25and who had pitched recently, what the game score was, what the situation was,
00:30who had the game card in front of me, and they were giving me situations.
00:34What would you do?
00:35You know, think about this.
00:37What are your considerations here?
00:39Then another portion of it was doing a mock press conference,
00:43and then it was doing a mock postgame,
00:45and they brought in employees from the Mets to sit in the crowd.
00:48Jessica Mendoza was one of them, and we laughed about it this week.
00:51I thought for 100% I was getting the job until that last meeting with the owner.
00:57I kind of knew they were going in a different direction.
