[00:00.64] Todd: OK. Kevin, we're back here in the forest. We're gonna talk about sports.

[00:06.14] Kevin: OK. Great. I love sports.

[00:07.39] Todd: What sports do you like?

[00:07.89] Kevin: Well, my favorite sport is baseball. Obviously, I grew up and my father was a baseball player so I was always aroundbaseball.

[00:16.14] Todd: Wow.

[00:16.64] Kevin: My whole life.

[00:19.39] Todd: You mean your father was a player in the Major Leagues?

[00:20.64] Kevin: Yeah, exactly. Not only was he a player in the Major Leagues, he was fortunate enough to play in the World Series twice with the New York Mets.

[00:27.39] Todd: Wow! That's amazing.

[00:28.14] Kevin: Yeah, The Amazing Met's. 1969.

[00:30.39] Todd: Wow, that's great. Did you play baseball yourself?

[00:32.89] Kevin: Yeah, I played baseball pretty much my whole life up through college and university.

[00:38.64] Todd: OK. Why did you stop?

[00:39.89] Kevin: Well, it wasn't exactly by choice. I wasn't drafted high enough in professional baseball to.. in order for me to sign, so I ended up retiring from baseball and pursuing other things.

[00:54.14] Todd: OK. Great. Do you like any others sports?

[00:55.64] Kevin: Yeah. I actually, I enjoy all competition. You know I enjoy the other typical American sports of basketball and American football and so on, but I also try to learn about and enjoy the national sport of the countries that I'm in. For example now I'm in Japan and I've actually gotten quite into Sumo wrestling.

[01:18.14] Todd: Oh, really?

[01:18.64] Kevin: Yeah.

[01:19.39] Todd: Nice. Have you ever seen a sumo match live?

[01:20.64] Kevin: Yes, I have. I've been to two sumo bashos as they call them, or matches in Tokyo.

[01:26.14] Todd: Nice. Yeah, I wanna go. I wanna go myself.

[01:28.39] Kevin: Yeah, let's go sometime.

[01:29.64] Todd: OK. Let's do it.
