I was in the Air Force.

[Livvy laughs]

If Rue came in right now,

would she run to me or to you first?

I mean, if I were asking this question,

the right answer would be she would run to me.

But she's asking the question.

I'm trying to win.

I'm trying to get points.

So, she would definitely run to you.

You're right!

She would run to me. Yeah.

You get a point for that.

Who am I dying to collab with?

Me.

if you like agreed one time.

Maybe.

Because I have the best nicknames for Rue

and they just sometimes, like the same energy of like love

comes out to you when I'm like,

that you talk to me the same way you talk to our dog?

[Livvy laughs]

No.

Okay, what's my guilty pleasure?

Andy's, Chick-Fil-A.

Those are all right.

Yeah, maybe Cane's, Starbucks.

But like, I like all those things.

Like what's something that I like,

I don't eat or consume very often but,

when I do, it's a treat?

One of my steaks.

A steak that I cooked.

Yeah. Okay.

I was gonna say ramen.

You get no point. Yeah.

No point, wow.

Who laid the first kiss?

You.

You're right, you get a point.

[light music]

Rizz.

What was my first Halloween costume?

You have to know this by now.

Was it a, like a butternut squash or a,

a pumpkin, I knew the answer.

You get a point.

You got this many points.

[bell rings]

He knows me, he just knows me.

Yeah, we also,

we did practice

a few times, yeah. We did practice.

We had to.

I thought it was like a team thing.

Ya know, how well do we know each other

but really, it's you know, I'm gonna beat you.

That's how it is, so,

you better strap in for these questions.

How do I throw my sinker?

Okay.

I have no clue!

Is a sinker when it goes down?

Yeah, it's the one that, yeah.

Okay, so that's a sweet spot

if I'm not mistaken. No.

No, okay.

That is?

That is.

You don't sign there. And then...

I don't sign there.

Okay. You don't sign there.

And then, you take these two,

put em over and then you have your finger right here.

And then you throw it like that

and then it goes up and then down.

I'll give you a half point for that.

Am I right?

Kind of.

Just like that.

That wasn't bad!

It wasn't bad.

I mean, that was kind of right.

What did I want to be when I was little?

Um...

You wanted to be in the Air Force.

Yeah.

Okay.

I get a point, right?

I wouldn't say I wanted to do that my whole life.

Don't think so hard.

You wanted to be a baseball player.

Yeah, that's a, you know,

pretty common goal for children.

Who's my biggest baseball hero?

Ohh!

I don't really know specifically, I don't think,

like your hero, but I know someone you've admired.

Mike Trout?

Yeah, um...

I wouldn't say like a hero.

I know you admire his work.

I'll give that a point because I don't think

she knows that I don't have a hero.

I really don't.

I've enjoyed watching players [Livvy laughs]

and all that but I do not have a hero.

Okay.

Here's a layup.

Where did we first meet?

In Mississippi.

And you barely wanted to give me a hug.

But then, after that, we had a good time.

We had a good time.

Yeah, we had a great time.

[bell dings]

It was a little side hug.

Just you know, I didn't know her.

[Livvy laughs]

I'm not gonna go two arms with somebody

I don't know. We had,

we had a good night though.

Yeah, it was fun.

What's my favorite fast food?

Well, automatically, my brain goes to Chick-Fil-A,

but you don't really eat fast food anymore.

He's been on his health journey.

So, I would say Chick-Fil-A.

I think that's your go-to.

All right.

One point.

Chance for a second.

What do I like to order there?

You're only gettin' this point if you get it

exactly right.

You order 40 dollars worth of food.

Okay.

For just yourself.

Yeah.

Like, you order everything.

Okay, that's not a point.

Be more specific. You get a,

a chicken sandwich.

You get, What type?

you get like the bacon, lettuce, tomato one.

The club?

The club, yeah.

You get the club, you get chicken nuggets, you get--

How many?

You get like 12.

I don't know. [Livvy laughs]

Keep going.

I wanna see if you know it. Like, it's just gonna keep

going on, fries.

You get a salad.

You get--

How many nuggets?

The most there is.

Yeah.

Two points.

[bell dings]

What's my pre-game meal?

Fettuccine alfredo.

Yep.

Everyone knows that.

Yeah, I was about to say,

everybody knows that. Yeah.

What's the last movie I watched?

Well, you were just away for a few days.

So, I don't know what you watch when you were away.

Yeah, that's kind of a cheat question.

Probably like Die Hard.

No, that's a Christmas movie.

[Livvy laughs]

I would never, ever, ever I don't know!

watch it if it's not Christmas time.

What did you watch last?

It's a movie called Little Fockers.

[Livvy laughs]

Good movie. I would've never known.

It's a good movie.

You should. Okay.

What food will I absolutely never eat?

Something you would never eat.

I've never had it before.

Do I know it?

We've talked about it before.

You went on a trip and had it.

I went on a trip and I had it?

Yeah, last summer.

You were telling me about it.

You said it's not as bad

as it seems. Oh, oh!

Snails.

Yep.

And snails are good but you don't think

you would ever try it?

Never.

Okay.

What age did I start playing baseball?

[light jazzy music]

I have no clue!

Maybe like when you were,

you seem like you've been playing fresh out the womb.

[both laugh] I don't know.

I don't know, maybe like when you were three?

Yeah, that's pretty much what I say

'cause as far as I know, I was playing outta the womb.

My memory doesn't go back before three,

so I just say three.

Your memory doesn't go back a few days ago.

Yeah, few hours ago.

What was my ERA last year?

Oh, shoot.

I think it, I'm gonna take a guess.

1.96.

You guessed that?

I'm pretty sure from my photographic memory,

that's what it is.

Good for you, point.

Wait, I got it right?

Yep.

[Livvy claps]

What team did I think would draft me?

Either the Pirates or the Nationals.

Yeah, they had the first and second picks.

Which one did you think I was gonna get drafted by?

The Pirates because I knew you're number one

and number one in my heart.

Awe.

What trip can I not wait for us to take?

You really wanna go to Rome.

[Paul] Yeah.

Or Hawaii, I feel like.

Why Hawaii?

Because our friends are getting married there.

That's the one that's very real for me.

Rome would be cool to go to.

I took an art history class in high school.

You like all the history of Rome

and I, Yeah.

I mess with gelato.

I like gelato, yeah.

And you can't get, ya know, authentic gelato

unless you go there, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, so we gotta go at some point.

But yeah, Hawaii.

I think it'll be fun though. I think that's gonna be

so fun.

To watch our friends get hitched out there.

Yeah.

Make a little trip out of it.

I haven't thought about going to Rome for a while.

I do think about the Roman Empire a lot.

I don't know if that's still a thing,

but people talk about it. [Livvy laughs]

I'm pretty sure I asked you that.

But yeah, those are the things

that I know about TikTok.

[Livvy laughs]

If I weren't a pitcher, what position would I play?

You really enjoyed being a catcher,

if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, I would catch.

What's my fastest pitch?

103.

No point.

102.

I gotta start, you know, cuttin' back on

how many points I'm giving out.

I'm tryin' to win.

[Livvy laughs]

I think it was like 102.1.

Okay.

Yeah and we don't-- When was that?

I think this year.

Oh, wasn't it the 100th pitch of that game?

No, that was,

I think that was rounded up. Oh, that was 100.

That was probably like 101.5.

They always round up on that, but I think on the

back of one of my baseball cards,

it says I'm up to like 103.

Maybe next year, I'll be up to 104.

Yeah, they like inflating everything.

So, just 102.

Okay. No point.

What is our favorite show to watch together?

Probably Family Guy.

You don't like watching that show.

I honestly think it's kinda funny!

[both laugh]

You watch it all the time

and I don't feel like we have a show we watch together.

Yeah, it changes.

We watched a lot of different shows together.

Like, I feel like Family Guy

is like some good old brain rot and like--

I think I get smarter by watching Family Guy.

Yeah. Okay.

I think it's a very intelligent show.

Okay.

Yeah, she can get a point.

What was my best subject in school?

I would say math.

No, it wasn't.

I don't know exactly what it was but,

math wasn't it.

What's my favorite thing about you?

[bubbles popping]

Your favorite thing about me

is my personality.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess so.

I do really like you.

And I think you really appreciate

how I understand you.

Like. Yeah, you do.

'Cause not a lot of people do.

Not a lot of people do.

What is my worst habit?

Your worst habit is getting outta the shower

and getting water all over the floor.

And I walk into the bathroom and I'm on the verge

of slipping and then cracking my head open.

That was quick.

'Cause there's so much water everywhere.

Okay well, you seem like you really had to

think about that one for a while.

I've been waiting for this moment.

No, I'm kidding.

I complain about this a lot. No point.

No point.

But there's been no change.

See, this is why

bathrooms need to have carpet. [Livvy laughs]

So that it dries it all up.

That's disgusting!

[Paul laughs]

What is one thing I wanna do before I die?

Ohh, you wanna get your pilot's license.

Yeah, I think that'd be cool.

And fly planes.

Yeah, all right.

What was my first dog's name?

Oh my gosh, wait, it's on the tip of my tongue.

Rufus.

That's a point.

Why did we name him that?

Because of the street.

Yeah, I didn't name him

but um, That your parents lived on.

the street that they found him on, I believe.

[Livvy] Oh, okay.

But this was before I was born,

so I didn't,

I didn't have a say. Rufus.

But that's the dog I grew up with.

You got this many points.

[bell dinging]

I think I won.

But I don't think it's because she knows me any better.

I think it's because she had more trick questions.

I think my questions were easier.

[Camerawoman] Did you guys

learn anything about each other?

Ohh!

No.

I didn't learn anything about you 'cause I just

know everything about you.

Yeah, I probably did at some point,

but I probably forgot it.

[both laugh]

That's terrible.

Yeah, she'll have to tell me a few more times

before I like really retain the information.

Actually, I think I learned how to throw a sinker.

Yeah.

And I'm excited to have a catch with you soon.

Yeah, good luck.

[Livvy laughs]
