To Break In a Glove

This glove's really cool, wow.

Oh, why don't you take it?

Oh. No, no, I couldn't.

Why not?

Are you sure?

I bought this glove a thousand years ago

For some birthday or some Christmas that has come and gone

I thought we might play catch or... I don't know

But he left it in the bag, with the tag still on

You'll have to break it in though, first. You can't catch anything with it that stiff.

How do you break it in?

Well, it's all a process that is really quite precise

A sort of secret method known to very few

So, if you're in the market for professional advice

Well today could be a lucky day for you

Shaving cream.

Shaving cream?

Oh yeah. You rub that in for about five minutes, tie it all up with rubber bands, put it under your mattress, and sleep on it. And you do that for at least a week, every day, consistent.

And though this method isn't easy

Every second that you spend is gonna pay off

It'll pay off in the end

It just takes a little patience

It takes a little time

A little perseverance

And a little uphill climb

You might not think it's worth it

You might begin to doubt

But you can't take any shortcuts

You gotta stick it out

And it's the hard way

But it's the right way

The right way... to break in a glove

With something like this, you gotta be ready to put in the work, make the commitment. So what do you think?

I mean, definitely.

Some people say just use a microwave

Or try that "run it through hot water" technique

Well, they can gloat about the time they saved

'Til they gotta buy another glove next week

It just takes a little patience

It just takes a little patience

Takes a little time

Takes a little time

A little perseverance

Perseverance

And a little uphill climb

And a little uphill climb

And it's the hard way

But it's the right way

The right way...

The right way...

Cause there's a right way in everything you do

Keep that grit

Follow through

Keep that grit

Follow through

Even when everyone around you thinks you're crazy

Even when everyone around you lets things go

And whether you're prepping for some test

Or you're miles from some goal

Or you're just trying to do what's best

For a kid who's lost control

You do the hard thing

'Cause that's the right thing

Yeah, that's the right thing

Connor was really lucky to have a dad that... uh, a dad who cared so much about... taking care of stuff.

Shaving cream, rubber bands, mattress, repeat.

Got it?

Got it.

It's the hard way

But it's the right way

The right way

To break in a glove

You're good to go.
