Teammates' Reactions

Excerpt from "4 minutes and 20 seconds of the garages talking about their funny new grandparent 🥺," a compilation of other fans' clips posted by YouTuber laynafanforever. Several clips were rendered partially inaudible by the accompanying music. The compilation was posted on Day 3, Season 24.

[Theodore Duende addresses reporters at a press conference.]

"Abner's doing alright. We're trying to give it space; a lot of things have changed in the league since its time, obviously, and it's never had to bat before… what? No, no, we're doing fine."

[Malik Destiny chats with some fans while waiting in the on-deck circle.]

"— learning guitar? Hell yeah, keep at it, dude. It — what? Oh, Abner? Abner's cool, you know? Kinda grumpy and old sometimes, like 'back in my day,' but it actually gets along with Betsy, which, I mean, that's crazy. It used to run a union for magicians, so that's back up and running and — oh, no, Betsy doesn't do magic, they just like yelling at people in meetings. One time — oh, I'm up. Good swing, Jimmy! Don't sweat it! Anyway, see you!" [Destiny skips up to bat.]

[Marion Shriffle talks with some roadies for a local music show while they set up cameras.]

"Abner and I don't get along all that much, and that's fine. It's good having someone keeping you in check. Hey! Don't put that there, it's straining the wires — no, the other way! There you go. Good job. Anyway, what was I saying? Abner, right, Abner… I couldn't tell you. I just get frustrated — it wasn't around to see everything we've gone through, and it's got a chip on its shoulder sometimes. It didn't believe The Shelled One was even real at first."

[Magi Ruiz and Fitzgerald Wanderlust sign some autographs for a trio of customers at Wanderlust's shop.]

"Oh, I mean, I've been kind of busy working with OLL-E, but Abner seems nice — Fitz, have you talked to it much?"
"I have. We share a certain understanding, I like to think. It has a mindset of the past, which can be a good thing. But it's from a time when Hexes ran rampant, and that leaves someone rather jaded when it comes to questions of unity."

[Wyatt Mason X and Oliver Loofah share a basket of nachos outside a local restaurant as a fan approaches.]

"Abner? I dunno — MaX, don't choke on your chips, sheesh. Uh, I dunno, Abner and MaX have—"
[MaX interrupts.] "Ugh, more like Abner and New Wyatt Mason, according to it…"
"Hey, hey. If it does that again I'll — hey, look, can you put the camera away? We're—" [The video ends.]
