Bobby Valentine joins Jay Horwitz for an emotional and wide-ranging Amazin' Conversations — covering everything from the legendary mustache disguise in 1999 to his induction into the Mets Hall of Fame with Carlos Beltrán and Lee Mazzilli. Bobby reflects on his playing and managing career with the Mets, his bond with the fans, the 2000 National League pennant run, and unforgettable moments like Robin Ventura's Grand Slam Single. Bobby and Jay also revisit the 9/11 season, sharing powerful stories about the team's role in healing the city, Mike Piazza's iconic homer, the work players did behind the scenes, and the fans who inspired them. This is the full Bobby V story — baseball, leadership, heart, and the moments that shaped Mets history. 00:00 – The Mustache Disguise Story01:14 – Breaking the Tension in 199902:06 – Bobby on the Mets Hall of Fame03:12 – Playing & Coaching With Legends04:23 – Managing Through the Late 90s06:06 – Turning the Mets Around07:01 – Getting the Most Out of Players07:49 – Why Mets Fans Love Bobby V08:49 – Battling the Braves & Yankees09:12 – The Full Mustache Story (Again!)10:11 – Players Reacting to the Disguise11:14 – The 2000 Pennant Run12:21 – Robin Ventura's Grand Slam Single13:18 – Japan Trip & Benny Agbayani14:17 – Leadership Through 9/1115:08 – September 11 Memories16:07 – The Team Giving Back17:21 – Mike Piazza's 9/11 Home Run18:24 – The Ashes in the Bullpen Story19:14 – Final Thoughts & Mets Legacy Learn more about your ad choices.

If you're staying in a place like Osaka or Okayama (or even the Hiroshima area itself) this is a day trip you must take! We started out by meeting our guide, Joe with Travel Japan Together, and taking the ferry over to explore Miyajima Island. We loved exploring the island, boating under the floating torii gate, and visiting some temples. Then, we went back to Hiroshima to visit the Peace Memorial Park and Peace Memorial Museum. It was a heavy afternoon learning about the events of August 6, 1945, days after its 80th anniversary. It's tough to learn about tragic history and dark history including the aftermath of such devastation. We learned a lot this day, and while heavy, it was well worth it. Because if we never learn about our past, we're doomed to repeat our mistakes.

“Why are you going to Okayama?” To be fair, we got this question more than once while traveling around Japan. I get it. It's not really a tourist hot spot like Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka. So when we told people where we were going, there were certainly a few raised eyebrows. But hear us out: Okayama is incredible! The city has enough things to do on its own like Okayama Castle, Korakuen Garden, and Kurashiki nearby! AND It's a top-notch base for day trips to Hiroshima, Naoshima Art Island, Himeji, and more! So in this episode, we're discussing the top things to do in Okayama Japan, best day trips from Okayama, and why we chose this lesser known city to spend 4 nights during our 2 week trip to Japan.

During our 2-week trip to Japan, we visited Nara as a day trip from Kyoto. While there, we had one big goal: to see the Daibutsu of Nara, the world's largest bronze statue of the Buddha Vairocana. We also saw the deer in Nara Deer Park, loved the Nara National Museum, and really enjoyed the lanterns at the Kasugataisha Shrine. We also had some amazing Japanese curry!

Gov. Jim Pillen and Nebraska Department of Agriculture Director Sherry Vinton recapped their recent visit to Japan while speaking at Husker Harvest Days, an ag show just west of Grand Island. The trip came on the heels of a trade deal with Japan signed by President Donald Trump last week. As part of the deal, Japan agreed to invest $550 billion in projects selected by the U.S. government. Pillen said he told Japanese officials he wants at least 10% of that amount to go toward projects in Nebraska. Pillen also praised the Japanese culture he witnessed on his visit to Tokyo.
We're back from Japan, and we're breaking down our full 2-week Japan itinerary including stops in Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Okayama, Hiroshima, Miyajima, Naoshima, Himeji, Hakone, and then ending back in Tokyo for a baseball game!

In this solo debrief, Andrew recounts his visit to Matsuura's plants in Japan, where he observed firsthand the discipline and detail that define Japanese manufacturing. He describes how Matsuura trains new employees years in advance, the precision of their hand-scraping process, and the consistency achieved by grinding every pallet on a single master machine.He also discusses the innovations he saw in Matsuura's hybrid LUMEX metal 3D printing and machining technology, spindle balancing rigs, and integrated chip briquetting systems. Beyond the machines themselves, he reflects on Matsuura's culture of multi-generational leadership, long-tenured employees, and a genuine curiosity about how customers use their equipment.Andrew explains the real opportunities in palletized five-axis automation, from reducing setups to unlocking flexible, high-mix production. He emphasizes that these machines require not just investment, but vision and continuous learning to realize their full potential.

It was something out of a dream.In this episode, I'm talking with Mac from Maction Planet, the tour guide who made our trip special.

I'm talking tiny restaurants where chefs treat cooking like fine art, with no tipping culture and some of the best craftsmanship I've ever seen.We also discuss what makes Japan so clean and organized, the mesmerizing fusion of Shintoism and Buddhism, and yes... the tea ceremony that changed my entire outlook on life.If you have never been to Japan or are thinking about going, you don't want to miss this one.
