Our reporter and his blonde companion sit in the Man In The Hat's office at Front Street.
Tess: "Well, Wiz, it seems like the Queens were tossing some snark Front Street's way this week..."
Man In The Hat: "Correct. And it's all SMACKEY'S fault!"
Reporter: "What? What did I do?"
Man In The Hat: "You made it sound like we do a reorg every two years around here...when the truth is, we've done exactly TWO reorgs in the HISTORY of the stable, which spans 13 and a half years at the moment..."
Reporter: "I didn't SAY..."
Man In The Hat: "You SAID that we do reorgs on the even years. That SOUNDS like we do one every two years. Fact is, we've done TWO, ever. One in 2017 when we cut the stable from 18 to its current size of 14 and the other nearly four years ago, in 2020..."
Reporter: "I STILL don't think this is MY fault..."
Man In The Hat (laughing): "Neither do I. I was just gettin' on ya a little bit. Queens, they haven't been around here that long, so they don't know the history of how we operate. So, I understand the confusion. But, let me clarify for the last time. We aren't doin' any reorg in 2024. In fact, I have no idea IF or WHEN we'll do another. My hope is, we NEVER do another."
Tess: "It seems the real difference between the way the two stables operate involves long-term planning..."
Man In The Hat: "Well. I get that. There are LOTS of ways to win in the FCBA, not just one. FOURTEEN titles show OUR way works. But. Other ways work, too. Hawk's way and VIXENs' way and Fates' way and Bonzo's way and Lookout!'s way and Foxfire's way and PLP's way and lots of other ways. That's what makes the FCBA so great. There are LOTS of paths to gold. You just have to find one that works for you. And, you know what ELSE works? Chef's grilled steaks..."
Tess: "Let's GO!"
