- 5:27Speaker 6: piece of my headphones from my house. So that's just
- 5:31Speaker 6: probably karma for throwing those four cards on your birthday.
- 5:35Speaker 6: I'm leaving the house this morning. I was going to
- 5:39Speaker 6: do it, like I was. That was my plan, was
- 5:41Speaker 6: to put those three human beings on the cake. Because
- 5:44Speaker 6: we talk about it all the time. You're chasing Jaden,
- 5:46Speaker 6: you get a ben sentence, not however you say it,
- 5:49Speaker 6: you get him.
- 5:49Speaker 8: Okay, you get excited too, because like you see rookie
- 5:52Speaker 8: card and then.
- 5:53Speaker 2: You see the commander helmet, and then you get the
- 5:56Speaker 2: commander helmet, like, oh it's Jaden.
- 5:59Speaker 6: Yeah, Johnson, you're chasing Molik neighbors, all right, Brendan Rice,
- 6:04Speaker 6: you're chasing lab McConkey. But I'll be damned if we
- 6:07Speaker 6: don't have a hundred of these fellas.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Three of the other ones exactly the car one might be.
- 6:17Speaker 7: He was only there like two years.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Oh, you'd be surprised. Derek Carr. One's not rare, not
- 6:23Speaker 2: very rare, not for me at least. Uh.
- 6:27Speaker 8: That kind of brings up. Do they have any more
- 6:31Speaker 8: car reviews recently?
- 6:32Speaker 1: Oh so, not car reviews, but Homegrown Network's popping off,
- 6:37Speaker 1: popping off.
- 6:38Speaker 6: We did we play the one where they were on
- 6:41Speaker 6: the golf course? Was that where you yeah, okay, I
- 6:43Speaker 6: didn't know if it was a week you were out?
- 6:44Speaker 6: It was pretty electric electric factory. I mean, those guys
- 6:48Speaker 6: are so dynamic behind a camera in front of a microphone.
- 6:54Speaker 7: How could you not love the Car brothers.
- 6:55Speaker 5: This this is just putting a bad taste in my mouth,
- 6:58Speaker 5: Like I just feel queasy at this point when we were
- 7:00Speaker 5: just too much Derek Carr first thing in the morning,
- 7:02Speaker 5: what do.
- 7:02Speaker 2: We were you a supporter? Oh? Who Derek Carr? Were?
- 7:06Speaker 2: I said, were you what? You know? They made the signing.
- 7:11Speaker 6: I'll tell you this, Jordan, I had three other people
- 7:15Speaker 6: in this room that were fired up and telling me
- 7:19Speaker 6: I was not very smart for hating the Derek Carr signing.
- 7:22Speaker 7: Okay, all right, so how did you feel?
- 7:24Speaker 6: Let's be honest, Okay, because we can go back in
- 7:27Speaker 6: the archives on social media, see what no is this room?
- 7:30Speaker 5: Is this room right handed God, right hand on right now?
- 7:34Speaker 5: After watching Andy Dalton throw two pick sixes back to
- 7:38Speaker 5: back in the Cardinals game, I was ready for a change.
- 7:40Speaker 5: I was happy at first when we got car because,
- 7:44Speaker 5: like I said, we was going through turmoil with Jamis
- 7:47Speaker 5: and this Jamis turmoil and Andy Dalton coming in and
- 7:50Speaker 5: just just too much, too much blogoney going on. So yes,
- 7:54Speaker 5: I was any change was good change for any Any
- 7:56Speaker 5: change I this point, like, just bring anybody with a
- 7:58Speaker 5: change is exciting. Yes, you know, bring anybody with a pulse.
- 8:02Speaker 5: The wheels came off.
- 8:04Speaker 2: That random change.
- 8:07Speaker 5: I mean, look it's Mickey. You're relying on Mickey Loomis.
- 8:09Speaker 5: Like I said, this is like a used car salesman.
- 8:12Speaker 5: Like he's just doing what he's supposed to do. He's
- 8:13Speaker 5: gonna sit there and just you know, blow smoke up here,
- 8:16Speaker 5: you know what, and just oh yeah, you know, and
- 8:18Speaker 5: smack his gum. You guys, remember the Dennis Island rant.
- 8:22Speaker 7: Remember that he compared him to Chuck.
- 8:26Speaker 8: What are you trying to say, You say he's gonna
- 8:27Speaker 8: take a piss on you and tell you it's right.
- 8:29Speaker 5: Oh for sure. No, No, he would actually he would
- 8:31Speaker 5: do that and just tell you.
- 8:33Speaker 6: All right, all right, all right, let's don't start a
- 8:36Speaker 6: Friday talking about Derek Carr and Mickey Luke on the cake.
- 8:40Speaker 6: I know it was the icing on the cake again,
- 8:43Speaker 6: no pun intended. I saw, and I go, this has
- 8:45Speaker 6: to be on the cake when I'm leaving this morning.
- 8:47Speaker 6: It was really a tough decision. I'm like going through
- 8:49Speaker 6: the cars like people that I can put. I almost
- 8:53Speaker 6: put the kicker for the Vikings because you're chasing JJ's
- 8:57Speaker 6: you get the kicker for the vikings.
- 8:58Speaker 7: So THEO had to be on there. Ben had to
- 9:02Speaker 7: be on there.
- 9:03Speaker 6: I threw Brendan in there because I get a lot
- 9:06Speaker 6: of Brendan rice. We talk about it a lot, and
- 9:08Speaker 6: then Derek Carr.
- 9:09Speaker 8: Of course we did good. I just want you to
- 9:11Speaker 8: know too. When you left, we crushed it for about
- 9:14Speaker 8: thirty five seconds. Oh yeah, electric electric.
- 9:16Speaker 6: I felt very unathletic trying to walk and also keep
- 9:20Speaker 6: the flame of the candle.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Or you did good, it's just big mets.
- 9:23Speaker 1: I mean you looked like like head waiter bringing out
- 9:27Speaker 1: the cake at a crowded restaurant.
- 9:29Speaker 2: It was impressing.
- 9:29Speaker 6: Thank you, Oh my gosh, how did I forget? Shout
- 9:33Speaker 6: out to Matt Flynn now Moscona Flynn yesterday. Okay, we
- 9:40Speaker 6: talked with Jay Johnson. Oh right, talk to j Johnson.
- 9:44Speaker 6: Great conversation. We kept him like twenty something minutes. But
- 9:47Speaker 6: at the end of it he told us that the
- 9:50Speaker 6: team was going to Flemings, but he couldn't go to
- 9:53Speaker 6: Flemings because he was grinding Tank.
- 9:55Speaker 2: He's grinding. That's what he was gonna do.
- 9:57Speaker 7: Is I hope bar Jones brings us back, you know,
- 10:01Speaker 7: a dog back.
- 10:01Speaker 2: A little dogy bag. That wouldn't happen.
- 10:03Speaker 7: That wasn't gonna happen.
- 10:04Speaker 6: Certainly, Like if you're going to choose somebody to bring
- 10:06Speaker 6: you back into go box, it's not gonna be somebody
- 10:08Speaker 6: nicknamed Bearings.
- 10:10Speaker 2: It was like Gian my smaller.
- 10:16Speaker 5: Yeah, Curio gives a lot of I need gluten free California.
- 10:21Speaker 6: Hate joke, Jordan, but I'm there for But we're like,
- 10:24Speaker 6: there's no chance, there's no chance. And so you know,
- 10:28Speaker 6: we came up with the idea. Certainly, Flynn was leading
- 10:31Speaker 6: the charge. Flynn's the one who sent it. I got
- 10:33Speaker 6: the information that we needed, I got the intel that
- 10:36Speaker 6: we needed, and Flynn put together a hell of a
- 10:39Speaker 6: menu from Flemings and send it over to coach Jay Johnson.
- 10:44Speaker 8: We sent him over a Schmorgas board. Hopefully he uh,
- 10:49Speaker 8: hopefully he got it and ate it. But we sent
- 10:52Speaker 8: him a good just a Flemmings just buffet over there.
- 10:55Speaker 8: Anything you want, bud bulk up? Can you Like the
- 11:01Speaker 8: man was grinding the night they won tape, getting ready
- 11:06Speaker 8: and all day they because he said yesterday, if the
- 11:10Speaker 8: team advances, that's their that's their victory.
- 11:12Speaker 2: They get a steak. That man deserves a steak too. Yeah.
- 11:16Speaker 2: He doesn't need to beat in taco bell or anything.
- 11:18Speaker 6: No, he does not need to be eating fast food.
- 11:20Speaker 6: He deserved a steak, and so coach, I hope you
- 11:23Speaker 6: enjoyed it. I hope you saw all the things that
- 11:26Speaker 6: you needed to see on the Coastal Carolina tape because
- 11:29Speaker 6: there's a lot of good there, a lot of good.
- 11:34Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh yeah.
- 11:35Speaker 5: See Jay Johnson is a good man, because I would
- 11:37Speaker 5: have had some type of assistant coach, go ahead, grab me,
- 11:39Speaker 5: it's a go plate, go ahead, go to the team,
- 11:41Speaker 5: bring me something back.
- 11:42Speaker 6: Feels like the coaches were probably in the same area
- 11:45Speaker 6: he was watching.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Yeah, they probably were not allowed to leave.
- 11:48Speaker 5: I would somebody gonna get me some I need a steak, bro,
- 11:50Speaker 5: we just want to Oh yeah, celebrate whoaoa Daniel?
- 11:54Speaker 6: Okay, I know that y'all remember from yesterday. You are
- 11:58Speaker 6: the loyal listeners. You know, every every single day, maybe
- 12:01Speaker 6: there's somebody new listening. Somebody could be tuning in for
- 12:04Speaker 6: the first time. So I had to set the scene
- 12:05Speaker 6: for what Jay talked about yesterday.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Yeah, guys, so.
- 12:09Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe a little C E O T B. I
- 12:12Speaker 6: get it, but there could be new listeners. Jordan wasn't
- 12:16Speaker 6: here yesterday.
- 12:16Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't know.
- 12:17Speaker 6: I don't think that Jordan went on demand and listened
- 12:19Speaker 6: to Jay Johnson interview. I'm just gonna go out them
- 12:21Speaker 6: there and say that Jordan did.
- 12:23Speaker 7: Not do that.
- 12:23Speaker 5: He yesterday was a long day take as you.
- 12:28Speaker 7: Somebody in this room didn't hear us talk with Jay.
- 12:30Speaker 7: So I just thought, you know, i'd set the scene again.
- 12:32Speaker 8: Of the millions of listeners to TV every single day,
- 12:35Speaker 8: there's got to be a few new ones out there.
- 12:38Speaker 6: Pierce said, Jay Steak probably got Cole what he was
- 12:41Speaker 6: on the phone recruiting.
- 12:42Speaker 2: That's probably true. Probably that's probably true.
- 12:45Speaker 6: You know what, I'm odd though, Uh you know, I
- 12:48Speaker 6: get my steak rare, so I don't have to have
- 12:51Speaker 6: like a piping hot steak by any means.
- 12:54Speaker 2: So when you order steaks to go are tricky.
- 12:58Speaker 7: Tricky because they're gonna cook and thing.
- 13:00Speaker 8: Hey, you cook them, then you put him in either
- 13:02Speaker 8: some pate like like one of those nice cardboard videos,
- 13:05Speaker 8: or like a plastic one. God forbid the you know,
- 13:08Speaker 8: styrofoam one when coming from a nice place like that.
- 13:10Speaker 8: But it's gonna cook. It's gonna cook for good ten
- 13:14Speaker 8: fifteen minutes afterwards. So you gotta like cook a little underdone.
- 13:17Speaker 8: But then you're like, are these guys such pros at
- 13:20Speaker 8: this restaurant that they already account for that?
- 13:23Speaker 6: So a lot went into the medium rare decision.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Those Flynn landed.
- 13:27Speaker 6: Me rare, hoping they would Yeah. Look, I hope Jay
- 13:31Speaker 6: Johnson enjoyed it. I hope he saw all the things
- 13:34Speaker 6: he needed to see on the Coastal Carolina film. I
- 13:37Speaker 6: hope that the boys are ready to go. In fact,
- 13:40Speaker 6: I know they're gonna be ready to go, like as
- 13:41Speaker 6: much as they can be. That's just who Jay and
- 13:43Speaker 6: the coaching staff, that's who they've been this year and
- 13:45Speaker 6: every year that they've been here.
- 13:47Speaker 7: It's gonna be a great series. We're gonna break it
- 13:49Speaker 7: down multiple times.
- 13:51Speaker 2: Today.
- 13:51Speaker 6: We've got Mikey Matuk in about fifteen minutes to break
- 13:54Speaker 6: it down. We got Anthony Ronado at eight thirty to
- 13:57Speaker 6: break it down. And then and then I'm gonna let
- 14:01Speaker 6: Flynn talk a little football because I know that I
- 14:04Speaker 6: know his baseball takes. I know he's the number one
- 14:07Speaker 6: stitchhead in Baton Rouge. But but we're gonna make him
- 14:11Speaker 6: branch out a little bit and talk a little football.

- 16:54Speaker 6: one of the coolest ones I've seen. But also you
- 16:57Speaker 6: were a part of my wedding.
- 16:59Speaker 2: YEP.
- 17:00Speaker 6: One of my favorite Flynn's stories is we're sitting there,
- 17:04Speaker 6: all right, and this is in Shrefport.
- 17:06Speaker 7: So a lot of people have driven up from Baton
- 17:08Speaker 7: Rouge to Shreveport and we're sitting there at the rehearsal.

- 18:06Speaker 6: Did great? I'm sure he nailed it. What a great wedding.
- 18:08Speaker 6: Probably so had a great time. It was a good
- 18:10Speaker 6: time up in the Port City.
- 18:12Speaker 8: I remember I remember doing a little partying in the
- 18:17Speaker 8: Port City after like after a rehearsal dinner or something.
- 18:20Speaker 8: It was it was one of the nights, because we
- 18:22Speaker 8: were there for a couple of nights, right and uh,
- 18:24Speaker 8: you know, seeing the town, having a couple of pops,
- 18:27Speaker 8: and I remember being at this one bar with your boys.
- 18:30Speaker 8: I can't remember if you were there at that point
- 18:32Speaker 8: of the night or that I met the guy who apparently,
- 18:36Speaker 8: this is according to him, had created the old video
- 18:40Speaker 8: game Doom, like the created.
- 18:45Speaker 2: The whole thing out.
- 18:46Speaker 7: I don't remember that.
- 18:47Speaker 8: Yeah, and so apparently I think he might be some
- 18:50Speaker 8: from Shreetport or maybe it was just in town, just
- 18:53Speaker 8: you know, taking in the site. Pretty big video game.
- 18:55Speaker 8: I was like, yeah, it's pretty big deal.
- 18:56Speaker 7: Was the first one.
- 18:57Speaker 2: I was like, whoa dude, you're like super fam us.
- 19:00Speaker 6: Uh yeah, not really Trueport stays open pretty late, so
- 19:06Speaker 6: you know what time?
- 19:07Speaker 2: Does the report stay up? Six?
- 19:09Speaker 7: Everything downtown stays open till.
- 19:10Speaker 2: Six, So six, Yeah, that's too much.
- 19:15Speaker 7: Did you probably stay out?
- 19:17Speaker 2: I don't know. It's celebrating gosh.
- 19:20Speaker 6: I do remember a couple of our teammates that were there.
- 19:25Speaker 6: We're in an altercation in tiger Land and Baton Rouge
- 19:29Speaker 6: before they drove.
- 19:30Speaker 2: Up to Street Force.
- 19:31Speaker 5: Are you physical if it's a tiger Land it's got physical.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Physical, physical.
- 19:36Speaker 6: And they had a situation where, uh, you know, some
- 19:39Speaker 6: some frat guys tried to outnumber them and so they
- 19:42Speaker 6: had some scrapes and some bruises.
- 19:44Speaker 7: Now they got the best of them, but.
- 19:45Speaker 2: It never really worked out though. They showed up from
- 19:47Speaker 2: the other side. No it didn't, but.
- 19:49Speaker 7: They showed up and it was funny. It was like, oh, yeah,
- 19:51Speaker 7: you definitely got in a bar fight.
- 19:53Speaker 8: Yeah. Oh, so here we go in the in the
- 19:57Speaker 8: chat here. Yes, I D Software was founded in Shreveport.
- 20:01Speaker 8: They made Doom and Quit.
- 20:02Speaker 6: Let's go Port City. All right, you met somebody that
- 20:07Speaker 6: maybe he's not famous, but he's pretty important, probably the
- 20:10Speaker 6: most important.
- 20:13Speaker 2: So it's real. He didn't lie to me. Yeah.
- 20:16Speaker 7: The first first person shooter game it was on PC.
- 20:20Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it was. I'm a friend. I think it is.
- 20:26Speaker 2: I mean it's got to be, you know.
- 20:28Speaker 8: It was the first big one like that came out.
- 20:34Speaker 2: And like, I know that game, and I mean that
- 20:36Speaker 2: that's probably as old as me.
- 20:38Speaker 7: It's it's definitely older than you. Yeah, I know, around
- 20:42Speaker 7: the age when you have been you have been born.
- 20:45Speaker 2: They made the movie about it.
- 20:46Speaker 8: I think Dwayne the Rock John course, of course, this
- 20:50Speaker 8: was early rock acts.
- 20:51Speaker 1: They needed they needed a male cast and something, so
- 20:54Speaker 1: they went with Dwayne Johnson, h L s.
- 20:58Speaker 2: U and Omahast.
- 21:00Speaker 6: I don't know if you know that, getting ready to
- 21:02Speaker 6: take on Coastal Carolina tomorrow, and there is a lot
- 21:06Speaker 6: of purple and gold that is heading to Omaha. Eventually,
- 21:11Speaker 6: some point in the show, we're gonna have a live
- 21:13Speaker 6: check in with Alandra.
- 21:15Speaker 7: She is on the road to Omaha. They make it,
- 21:17Speaker 7: I have no idea.
- 21:19Speaker 6: I have zero idea, but she's on the road to Omaha,
- 21:23Speaker 6: so we'll see. We'll see where they're at if they
- 21:25Speaker 6: made it.
- 21:27Speaker 8: We got a few updates on their playlist, their road
- 21:30Speaker 8: trip playlist.
- 21:32Speaker 2: That's pretty good for a little bit.
- 21:33Speaker 6: Road trip playlist can make fast extremely important, or I
- 21:38Speaker 6: can make it drag on.
- 21:39Speaker 8: Yeah, I've kind of stopped in my elder age now
- 21:46Speaker 8: spending the time in the stress of having to be
- 21:48Speaker 8: a DJ or make a playlist. I just let technology
- 21:51Speaker 8: do it, you know. I usually just go on there,
- 21:54Speaker 8: whether it's whatever you prefer, Spotify, Apple Music and just
- 21:58Speaker 8: type in whatever you're doing playing golf on a Wednesday afternoon,
- 22:04Speaker 8: there's playlist for that.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Just pop right up.
- 22:06Speaker 5: Yeah, well, now on Spotify they have like your own
- 22:09Speaker 5: personal DJ. The personal DJ, it just takes whatever you
- 22:12Speaker 5: listen to and.
- 22:13Speaker 8: Just DJ kind of ends up just playing the repeating
- 22:17Speaker 8: the songs you've been listening.
- 22:18Speaker 6: Yeah, and also I don't know Spotify, I do Apple Music.
- 22:21Speaker 6: But I will say, if you have children, your algorithm
- 22:25Speaker 6: is not going to be what you want it to
- 22:28Speaker 6: be because there's gonna be a lot of Baby Shark
- 22:31Speaker 6: that is mixed in there that it's gonna think this
- 22:34Speaker 6: guy loves baby Shark and so it's gonna put baby
- 22:37Speaker 6: Shark in seven different versions of Baby Shark into your playlist.
- 22:41Speaker 2: That's the problem.
- 22:43Speaker 1: You have seven different versions without looking normally, I'm having
- 22:46Speaker 1: to scroll to find I'm like, I'm a big Baby
- 22:47Speaker 1: Shark fan over.
- 22:48Speaker 7: Here, so I can definitely actually see.
- 22:51Speaker 1: Except I switch it like I stole it from I
- 22:54Speaker 1: stole it from Ted Last, but.
- 22:55Speaker 2: I do Taylor Sharp. Okay, all right, build it's a
- 23:00Speaker 2: confidence builder for sure.
- 23:01Speaker 5: Yeah, just get it gets the bluffaloing the.
- 23:06Speaker 2: A lot of dude to doing around here at this show.
- 23:08Speaker 6: Yeah, you see, you joke and have fun with that. Eventually,
- 23:13Speaker 6: whenever you have children, we'll come back and we'll revisit
- 23:15Speaker 6: that question with the baby Shark. Don't go crazy by day.
- 23:20Speaker 1: Life like they have like a baby Shark dumb step
- 23:23Speaker 1: be all over that.
- 23:24Speaker 2: I think there's no doubt they do.
- 23:26Speaker 4: Well.
- 23:26Speaker 2: Find one. Look, I gotta I gotta drive. I'm only
- 23:29Speaker 2: driving like two hours today. But we'll find one on the.
- 23:31Speaker 6: Plane without Like one year, we found trap Christmas music.
- 23:35Speaker 2: They got everything else. What's your name, Big Fredo or whatever?
- 23:39Speaker 1: Big Frida got a whole New Orleans trap Christmas playlist.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Let's go.
- 23:43Speaker 8: So I did see a clip recently that I don't
- 23:47Speaker 8: know if it was an American city or where it was,
- 23:52Speaker 8: but it was a place in town where there was
- 23:55Speaker 8: some people sleeping outside on the street near a business
- 24:00Speaker 8: US and there was a lot and they were afraid
- 24:02Speaker 8: it was going to hurt their own business. So they
- 24:04Speaker 8: set up a speaker that blasted outside and they played
- 24:08Speaker 8: Baby Shark loud on loop and it cleared everybody.
- 24:11Speaker 2: Out no more. It's very smart and at night, boom
- 24:16Speaker 2: Baby Shark.
- 24:18Speaker 7: It will make you thoughts that you certainly.
- 24:21Speaker 5: A torture method of torture method.
- 24:28Speaker 6: All right, when we come back, I swear we will
- 24:32Speaker 6: get this thing started.
- 24:34Speaker 7: We will not see a squirrel.
- 24:35Speaker 6: We will catch up with an LSU baseball legend, Mikey
- 24:38Speaker 6: Matuk will join us here on the show.
- 24:41Speaker 7: Excited for that conversation.
- 24:43Speaker 6: Certainly, I want to get his thoughts on how everything
- 24:46Speaker 6: played out the other night, what it looks like facing
- 24:48Speaker 6: coastal Carolina, And we'll have all that for you when
- 24:50Speaker 6: we jump back here on O TV.
- 24:52Speaker 9: Off the bench.
- 24:56Speaker 6: All right, weaken bears, if you you are lucky enough
- 25:01Speaker 6: to be in Omaha, there is not a better beer
- 25:06Speaker 6: to tailgate with than Dose Sekis. Even if you're not tailgating,
- 25:10Speaker 6: which you probably are, but if you're not, once you
- 25:12Speaker 6: get into the stadium, great stadium beer. If you flew
- 25:17Speaker 6: to Omaha, it's a great airport beer. No matter the
- 25:20Speaker 6: situation at the beach, at the lake, at the pool,
- 25:23Speaker 6: at the house, at the restaurant, it is always a
- 25:27Speaker 6: good idea to go for Dose drink.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Do sequis responsible. Tell you what I'm gonna do this weekend.
- 25:34Speaker 2: I'm a fire at the grill. Maybe give me a
- 25:36Speaker 2: flank steak, Maybe give me a some burgers.
- 25:41Speaker 8: I'm a fire. There's nothing like a grilling beer to me.
- 25:43Speaker 8: So get ready to watch the Tigers. Watch the Tigers
- 25:47Speaker 8: get a dose. Seqis get that cold Mexican lagger. Go
- 25:50Speaker 8: for dose, Go for dose with do seqis.
- 26:08Speaker 3: Locked in on LSU football twenty four to seven. You're
- 26:11Speaker 3: listening to off the bench, except.
- 26:15Speaker 6: When LSU Baseball is in themhall. We're getting ready to
- 26:18Speaker 6: play for a national championship. They get to more. Locked
- 26:21Speaker 6: in to l SHOOT Baseball, Big voice, lady before we
- 26:25Speaker 6: get to our guy, Mikey Mata good enough to join
- 26:27Speaker 6: us on video coming up here.

- 26:37Speaker 3: a summer ready glow are always on tap.
- 26:40Speaker 6: Now for starters, go flowiv dot com. Probably not a
- 26:46Speaker 6: bad idea to go ahead and go see them today tomorrow.
- 26:50Speaker 2: I'll be proactively proactive.
- 26:53Speaker 6: Because there's gonna be some things you are going to
- 26:56Speaker 6: be deleting, probably on Saturday, getting ready for the LSU
- 27:00Speaker 6: baseball game. And we're gonna do that now. Mikey Matuk
- 27:04Speaker 6: joins us. Mikey, what's up, brother?
- 27:05Speaker 2: How we doing?
- 27:07Speaker 4: What's happening?
- 27:08Speaker 9: Guys?
- 27:08Speaker 4: How we doing this morning?
- 27:09Speaker 5: Uh?
- 27:09Speaker 7: Fantastic Flint's forty today.
- 27:13Speaker 4: Hey, Poppy, birthday today.
- 27:15Speaker 9: Thirty.
- 27:15Speaker 4: Man, you look great, you look great.
- 27:17Speaker 7: We make that's a good friend that tells you something
- 27:21Speaker 7: like that.
- 27:21Speaker 4: First says my eye. It's all that my eye keeping
- 27:25Speaker 4: you hydrated.
- 27:25Speaker 2: That's exactly right, thank you.
- 27:27Speaker 6: Oh man, Mikey. How about the other night? Uh, baseball
- 27:31Speaker 6: and you say it. Everybody around the game has always
- 27:33Speaker 6: said it. Twenty seven ounce you gotta get there. It
- 27:36Speaker 6: doesn't matter what it looks like before the twenty seventh out,
- 27:39Speaker 6: you have to get all twenty seven. What a wild
- 27:43Speaker 6: game that was in Omaha against a really good baseball
- 27:45Speaker 6: team that you now finished four and one on the
- 27:47Speaker 6: year against.
- 27:49Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it was an insane game.
- 27:52Speaker 9: And you know, I have to admit for uh, you know,
- 27:55Speaker 9: after all that stuff had happened and we go down
- 27:58Speaker 9: two runs, it kind of felt like, all right, just
- 28:02Speaker 9: get ready for Thursday. And then curry O gets on,
- 28:05Speaker 9: You're like, well wait a minute. And then once they
- 28:08Speaker 9: walked Fry, I was like, man, I think they got
- 28:11Speaker 9: a shot. And then a shortstop kind of had a
- 28:13Speaker 9: brain fart there and decided to go get the lead runner.
- 28:18Speaker 9: And uh, and after he did that.
- 28:20Speaker 4: So we're gonna we're gonna win the game.
- 28:21Speaker 9: I didn't think it was gonna be as chaotic as
- 28:24Speaker 9: going off the clavical and kicking off to the foul
- 28:27Speaker 9: line and and doing those types of things. But uh,
- 28:30Speaker 9: credit the boys for for staying in it and staying
- 28:33Speaker 9: locked in and coming up with the big hits.
- 28:35Speaker 4: And you know, look, that play.
- 28:37Speaker 9: In left field is a tough play as a left fielder.
- 28:40Speaker 9: Top spin, line drive, really hard hit, should be should play,
- 28:44Speaker 9: should be made, no excuse there hard play though, and
- 28:47Speaker 9: obviously doesn't get made. And look, uh, and I hate
- 28:50Speaker 9: to say this, and I don't want to kick a
- 28:52Speaker 9: kick a man wise down, but Arkansas just they just
- 28:56Speaker 9: can't figure it out. In Omaha, man, they just uh
- 28:59Speaker 9: they've had some opportunities and they just hadn't figured it out.
- 29:02Speaker 4: And now let's choose the opposite.
- 29:04Speaker 9: You know, they got the magic behind it, and uh,
- 29:06Speaker 9: you know, sometimes that's all it.
- 29:08Speaker 4: Takes to win a national championship.
- 29:11Speaker 6: There's so many ways You're right that the left fielder
- 29:14Speaker 6: like it's it's not as easy as it look. But
- 29:16Speaker 6: there's so many ways he could have played. You know,
- 29:19Speaker 6: the fly ball or line drive to him and shortstops
- 29:22Speaker 6: one thing and that's just like there's there's no reason
- 29:24Speaker 6: to do that. But one of the best shortstops in
- 29:26Speaker 6: the country does it. But for the left fielder, like,
- 29:29Speaker 6: if you're playing left field, would you have just allowed
- 29:31Speaker 6: that to hit in front of you, let one run
- 29:33Speaker 6: to score still keep the tying run, you know, on
- 29:36Speaker 6: third base or maybe even second So, uh no, I.
- 29:41Speaker 4: Don't think so.
- 29:41Speaker 9: I think that's a that's a play that you want
- 29:43Speaker 9: to you catch, right, That's a catch up ball. It's
- 29:45Speaker 9: not like he had to go a far ways to
- 29:47Speaker 9: get it. I think you just misjudged it off the
- 29:50Speaker 9: bat and he took a drop step and then he
- 29:53Speaker 9: he didn't he couldn't gather his feet and he kind
- 29:55Speaker 9: of slipped and very unfortunate for him for that to
- 29:58Speaker 9: happen in that situation. But you know, for me, that's
- 30:01Speaker 9: one that you just got to make the play on
- 30:03Speaker 9: because you don't want to you don't want to let
- 30:05Speaker 9: it drop because then you let it drop and it
- 30:08Speaker 9: looks really bad and it's like, well, how come you
- 30:09Speaker 9: didn't catch that. You're not really going after it, And
- 30:13Speaker 9: I mean it was hit far enough to where he
- 30:15Speaker 9: should have caught it. I think he just got crossed
- 30:18Speaker 9: up and you.
- 30:19Speaker 4: Know, honestly, man the shortstop. And here's what I think.
- 30:22Speaker 4: And I have experience because I've had a.
- 30:25Speaker 9: Brain fart when I was when I was playing at LSU.
- 30:28Speaker 4: I think he forgot Fry got got walked.
- 30:31Speaker 9: I think he thinks that there is only a guy
- 30:33Speaker 9: on second base and he was actually making the correct play.
- 30:36Speaker 9: To be honest with you, like he'll never admit that,
- 30:39Speaker 9: and that could be completely wrong, but I really do
- 30:42Speaker 9: think that he forgot there's a guy on first base
- 30:44Speaker 9: and he thought he was making the right play.
- 30:46Speaker 2: Mike.
- 30:47Speaker 8: He so like baseball is so like there's so much
- 30:50Speaker 8: pressure that builds up, and you know it's Jake and
- 30:54Speaker 8: I of course played football, and there's a lot of
- 30:56Speaker 8: pressure on it, but it's so fast paced you don't
- 30:58Speaker 8: have a lot of time to like sit there and
- 30:59Speaker 8: like basking that pressure and like think about it, right
- 31:02Speaker 8: and have a million things going through your head. But
- 31:05Speaker 8: in a situation like that where Arkansas, do you know
- 31:07Speaker 8: that they're trying to like get over a hump, and
- 31:10Speaker 8: between every pitch, between every inning, between every at bat,
- 31:13Speaker 8: they it feels like the pressure just builds up and
- 31:16Speaker 8: then just like you said, it's easy to have a
- 31:18Speaker 8: brain fart, and it's easy for like people to watch
- 31:20Speaker 8: it and be like, oh, he should never do that,
- 31:21Speaker 8: blah blah blah. But as a player, like things like
- 31:23Speaker 8: that do happen. Just like you said, maybe maybe he did,
- 31:26Speaker 8: maybe he didn't. Like forget that that friady got loft.
- 31:29Speaker 8: But in your experience, when pressure is building, like that building,
- 31:34Speaker 8: building building, what is something that that the that you
- 31:37Speaker 8: leaned on it was that teammates was at coaches and
- 31:41Speaker 8: LSU always seems to thrive in that situation. Because tell
- 31:44Speaker 8: me about like those situations and what kind of sits
- 31:46Speaker 8: LSU apart.
- 31:48Speaker 9: No, that's a great question because that's the uh, you know,
- 31:51Speaker 9: that's kind of the the make or break deal, right, Like,
- 31:56Speaker 9: that's kind of what turns a guy into an elite
- 31:59Speaker 9: all starts player in the big leagues or a guy
- 32:01Speaker 9: who's just gonna be you know, solid and and and
- 32:05Speaker 9: and you know, do his things, but not really rise up.
- 32:07Speaker 9: And so for me, you know, I really wanted to
- 32:12Speaker 9: control my breathing. And I know that kind of sounds cliche,
- 32:15Speaker 9: but that really is was for me the best way.
- 32:19Speaker 9: I'm very hot, I'm a very high strong, person. If
- 32:22Speaker 9: you ever watched me play, I was very emotional, and
- 32:25Speaker 9: you know, I was very I was a very high, strong,
- 32:27Speaker 9: energetic player. And so in those situations where the pressure
- 32:32Speaker 9: kind of built, I needed to kind of bring myself
- 32:34Speaker 9: back down and then I needed to kind of almost
- 32:38Speaker 9: look at it from like the stands right, like, all right,
- 32:42Speaker 9: what's the situation here? All right, there's a guy on
- 32:45Speaker 9: second base. I'm in. If I'm playing left field, there's
- 32:48Speaker 9: a guy on second base. If the balls hit to
- 32:50Speaker 9: me to my left, to my right, or if this
- 32:52Speaker 9: play happens, you try to kind of envision what's gonna happen,
- 32:56Speaker 9: and you kind of figure out how you're gonna play
- 32:58Speaker 9: that so that when that happens.
- 33:00Speaker 4: You're ready.
- 33:00Speaker 9: And so for me, it's you know, the instinctual part
- 33:04Speaker 9: of it is is very important. But then once your
- 33:07Speaker 9: heart rate gets extremely high and uh, and you know
- 33:10Speaker 9: you don't slow your breathing down, that instinctual part goes away,
- 33:14Speaker 9: you know, and you kind of panic and you figure.
- 33:16Speaker 4: It out and you can't. It's hard to figure out.
- 33:18Speaker 9: So for me, it was slow my breathing down, and
- 33:21Speaker 9: it was you know, trying to.
- 33:24Speaker 4: I guess foresee what's gonna happen?
- 33:27Speaker 6: And now LSU gets set Mikey to take go on
- 33:30Speaker 6: Coastal Carolina, a team that has not lost a baseball
- 33:33Speaker 6: game since late April. I don't care who you're playing,
- 33:36Speaker 6: and like, I think the Sun Belt's a good baseball conference,
- 33:38Speaker 6: but I don't care who you're playing. You do that,
- 33:40Speaker 6: that's impressive. They are a program that is labeled a
- 33:43Speaker 6: mid major, but they do not have a mid major field.
- 33:46Speaker 6: They've won a national championship. We kind of compared them
- 33:48Speaker 6: to Gonzaga in basketball, to Boise and State in football,
- 33:52Speaker 6: Like that's who they are. Like they are a standard
- 33:54Speaker 6: of you know what you would call mid majors. They're
- 33:57Speaker 6: not gonna be intimidated, right, they had to go through
- 33:59Speaker 6: LSU and two twenty sixteen, they've won that national championship.
- 34:02Speaker 6: Jay Johnson's lost a series to them in Omaha, So
- 34:06Speaker 6: like they're gonna have the confidence that they can come
- 34:08Speaker 6: and take down LSU. What about from the other side
- 34:11Speaker 6: of it, though, Like what do you want to see
- 34:14Speaker 6: mentally from LSU getting ready for Coast But who again,
- 34:17Speaker 6: is gonna be tabbed the Cinderella the mid major even
- 34:20Speaker 6: though that's really not factual, Yell.
- 34:24Speaker 4: Coast is a wagon.
- 34:25Speaker 9: Now we talked about this little bit, I think it
- 34:27Speaker 9: was last week, was you know, they're they're really they're
- 34:30Speaker 9: a really good team, you know, and they they throw,
- 34:33Speaker 9: they they pitch.
- 34:34Speaker 4: It really well.
- 34:35Speaker 9: They have a lot of guys uh in there pitching
- 34:38Speaker 9: in their rotation on their staff that can go out
- 34:40Speaker 9: there and get you big innings, and so they're not
- 34:42Speaker 9: going to be intimidated.
- 34:43Speaker 4: The're unfew in Omaha.
- 34:44Speaker 9: They've won twenty six trade games. In my opinion, you
- 34:48Speaker 9: know they're due for a loss, you know, losing to
- 34:51Speaker 9: winning twenty See me, ain't gonna win every single game you.
- 34:54Speaker 4: Play, and so you know they're really good.
- 34:57Speaker 9: But on LSU side, you know, I think you have
- 34:59Speaker 9: to look at as look we got they got out
- 35:01Speaker 9: of in my opinion, the harder side of the bracket.
- 35:04Speaker 9: You beat Arkansas twice, who's probably you know, they're probably
- 35:10Speaker 9: the top two teams talent wise in in the World Series.
- 35:13Speaker 9: You have all of your pitching staff ready, you have
- 35:16Speaker 9: your eight, number one and number two in line to start,
- 35:20Speaker 9: and you've already proven that you can come back in
- 35:24Speaker 9: dramatic fashion. And to me, you know, I don't care
- 35:27Speaker 9: about the twenty six games, I think you have a lot,
- 35:30Speaker 9: You have just as much momentum going into.
- 35:32Speaker 4: The finals as they do.
- 35:34Speaker 9: And uh, you know, in my in my opinion, I
- 35:38Speaker 9: think it's gonna be a really good series and I
- 35:39Speaker 9: think it's gonna be a really a good battle. But
- 35:42Speaker 9: you know, I think with Kate Anderson and Iasen, you know,
- 35:45Speaker 9: I take lsue against anybody.
- 35:48Speaker 8: Why do you tell me about the the like the
- 35:51Speaker 8: beautiful emotional roller coaster that is Jared Jones at bats
- 35:55Speaker 8: right now. It seems to me that he is so
- 36:00Speaker 8: like respected and loved and beloved by his teammates, and
- 36:04Speaker 8: you know, to see him struggle early on in the
- 36:06Speaker 8: World Series and then come up with such like the
- 36:10Speaker 8: clutch hits and the clutch moments that will put.
- 36:13Speaker 2: His name in Tiger lore forever already.
- 36:15Speaker 8: Right, but just tell him, tell me what he's meant
- 36:18Speaker 8: to the team and then going going forward into this
- 36:21Speaker 8: National Championship Series, what he what he needs to do.
- 36:24Speaker 8: And uh, yeah, I just I mean, he's been such
- 36:26Speaker 8: a great so I just want to hear your thoughts
- 36:28Speaker 8: on him overall.
- 36:30Speaker 9: Yeah, he's I mean, he's he's awesome.
- 36:32Speaker 4: You know, I've gotten to know him.
- 36:34Speaker 9: I've I've got to know him since he was a freshman,
- 36:36Speaker 9: and the maturity that he has shown from his freshman
- 36:40Speaker 9: year until now, and the growth that he has shown,
- 36:42Speaker 9: and like the self awareness that he has of himself
- 36:46Speaker 9: is extremely impressive and it's kind of rare for, you know,
- 36:48Speaker 9: a young guy to have all of that. But uh man,
- 36:51Speaker 9: baseball is a hard game. It'll beat you down, and
- 36:54Speaker 9: it's as mentally tough as he It's as many tough
- 36:57Speaker 9: of a game as it as any anything out there.
- 36:59Speaker 9: And the way he's overcome i mean, zero for five
- 37:02Speaker 9: with five strikeout. Listen, I've been there, and hey, fun
- 37:05Speaker 9: you know, like that is that is a that is
- 37:09Speaker 9: a look in the mirror type thing, like what the
- 37:11Speaker 9: hell am I doing? You know? And to do that
- 37:14Speaker 9: in the first game of hom haul on the national
- 37:16Speaker 9: stage and then come back and play the way he's
- 37:19Speaker 9: been playing like it talks about how that shows how
- 37:22Speaker 9: how strong he is mentally and how good of a
- 37:25Speaker 9: person is.
- 37:25Speaker 4: And obviously he's the leader on the team. And when
- 37:28Speaker 4: you do.
- 37:28Speaker 9: That as a guy as the leader on the team,
- 37:30Speaker 9: and you have the other guys that see you do that,
- 37:34Speaker 9: that just raises everybody else's confidence and that puts them
- 37:37Speaker 9: in a position to be able to overcome that stuff,
- 37:40Speaker 9: because whenever, if he was pouting and he was throwing
- 37:42Speaker 9: stuff and he was kind of putting himself down, you
- 37:45Speaker 9: know that that's not a good look for the other
- 37:46Speaker 9: guys who are kind of looking at him for uh,
- 37:49Speaker 9: you know, motivation or whatever that may be. So, you know,
- 37:51Speaker 9: I think on that side of it, it's huge. And
- 37:53Speaker 9: then you know for me watching what he's done the
- 37:57Speaker 9: game to game adjustments, you know, letting the ball travel,
- 38:01Speaker 9: because look, over the last month month and a half
- 38:03Speaker 9: he's been in between Velos season, and what I mean
- 38:05Speaker 9: by that is, you know, he's been late on the fastball,
- 38:08Speaker 9: early on the breaking ball, not feeling very comfortable.
- 38:11Speaker 4: It's the worst place she can.
- 38:12Speaker 9: Be as a hitter, and so you know, he was
- 38:15Speaker 9: starting to get a little jumpy. That's why he's fouling
- 38:17Speaker 9: pitches off and he was swinging that pitches up in
- 38:19Speaker 9: the in the zone. It's just things that happened throughout
- 38:22Speaker 9: the course of a season for hitters, and you know,
- 38:25Speaker 9: and Jay talks about it, they go off the slider
- 38:28Speaker 9: machine and trying to let the ball travel a little
- 38:30Speaker 9: bit more and you know you saw that with the
- 38:32Speaker 9: home runner right center, so you can see that he
- 38:34Speaker 9: has bought into that plan and he's accepting that plan,
- 38:37Speaker 9: and he's staying on sliders, and you know he's done.
- 38:41Speaker 9: He's done what you need to do, and he's obviously
- 38:43Speaker 9: the reason why she's in the championship. And I think
- 38:45Speaker 9: that if he continues to do that with the staff
- 38:47Speaker 9: that Coastal has, I think he's gonna.
- 38:49Speaker 6: Have a lot of success catching up with our guy,
- 38:52Speaker 6: Mikey matug Here on ot B. Mike, can't want you
- 38:55Speaker 6: to walk me through a situation that you know, we've
- 38:58Speaker 6: never really been through as football players.
- 39:01Speaker 7: Like if you're.
- 39:01Speaker 6: Playing in the game a lot of times, like you've
- 39:03Speaker 6: already been involved in the game. You're either on special
- 39:06Speaker 6: teams and maybe you get thrown into offense or defense,
- 39:08Speaker 6: or you're a starter or your rotational piece, but you
- 39:10Speaker 6: have integrated yourself into the game and usually pretty early.
- 39:14Speaker 6: But Jake Brown coming off the bench as a pinch
- 39:16Speaker 6: hitter right in the sixth inning, all right, So like
- 39:19Speaker 6: my football mind, like I can't. It's like, you know,
- 39:21Speaker 6: coming off the bench late in the third quarter and saying, hey,
- 39:24Speaker 6: go score us a touchdown when you hadn't really done anything.
- 39:28Speaker 7: What's the mindset there?
- 39:29Speaker 6: And in the biggest spot to that point certainly of
- 39:32Speaker 6: the game, you take out the guy that led you
- 39:35Speaker 6: an average in the SEC to place Jake Brown into
- 39:38Speaker 6: the games.
- 39:39Speaker 7: The hell of a move by Jay? What is Jake
- 39:41Speaker 7: Brown thinking in that moment?
- 39:44Speaker 4: You know?
- 39:45Speaker 2: Man?
- 39:46Speaker 9: The pinch hitting situation is the hardest situation in baseball,
- 39:51Speaker 9: especially in college, when you don't have a cage to.
- 39:54Speaker 4: Go and get loose in every other inning.
- 39:56Speaker 9: And what Jake Brown has been able to do as
- 39:59Speaker 9: a pinchhitter and as a guy coming off the bench
- 40:01Speaker 9: in those because he's not getting pinch hit when the
- 40:04Speaker 9: game's out of hand, right, he's pinch hitting when the
- 40:06Speaker 9: game is when you need him to come up with
- 40:08Speaker 9: a big hit. And he does it time and time
- 40:10Speaker 9: and time again, and and that.
- 40:13Speaker 4: Is an extremely hard to do.
- 40:15Speaker 9: And for to do that, you have to be locked
- 40:18Speaker 9: in mentally the whole game. You have to understand what
- 40:22Speaker 9: situations you may come into play, and when you're there,
- 40:27Speaker 9: you've got to be ready to go out and swing
- 40:29Speaker 9: it maybe the first pitch and maybe the seventh pitch
- 40:31Speaker 9: of the bat, and it just seems like every time
- 40:33Speaker 9: he comes in he gets hit. Listen, I'm a huge
- 40:37Speaker 9: Jake brown fan. I think Jake brown Is is going
- 40:40Speaker 9: to be a superstar next year. I think he's a
- 40:43Speaker 9: fifteen home run guy next year, you know. And I
- 40:45Speaker 9: think he's a first team All SECP type talent, super athletic,
- 40:50Speaker 9: can do everything at the plate, beloved by his teammates.
- 40:54Speaker 4: And to be able to go and.
- 40:55Speaker 9: Do that and accept your role, you know that that
- 40:58Speaker 9: says a lot about him because he should be.
- 41:00Speaker 4: Playing every day.
- 41:01Speaker 9: It's just the way that it's the way the it's
- 41:03Speaker 9: the way the lineup is the way the team is structured,
- 41:06Speaker 9: and you have a lot of guys that can that
- 41:08Speaker 9: can do a lot of different things, and the team
- 41:10Speaker 9: is better when everybody's playing.
- 41:12Speaker 4: And uh, he's accepted that.
- 41:14Speaker 2: Man he is.
- 41:15Speaker 9: That's unbelievably impressive to be able to come in, especially
- 41:19Speaker 9: in that moment and bases loaded and go opo and
- 41:22Speaker 9: get a base in and get to our eyes. It's
- 41:24Speaker 9: just he's done all year and you just kind of
- 41:27Speaker 9: expect it to happen out.
- 41:28Speaker 8: That's so hard to do. I mean, coming in with
- 41:30Speaker 8: a clean uniform and a pressure.
- 41:35Speaker 9: That's like you coming in the bench, off the bench,
- 41:37Speaker 9: with the two manager off, the quarterback is down, you
- 41:39Speaker 9: have to throw a thirty five yard post route over
- 41:41Speaker 9: the middle and with you know, against.
- 41:43Speaker 8: Alabama the game, Yeah, in the moment, Yeah, exactly, Yeah,
- 41:50Speaker 8: backed up on fourth down?
- 41:51Speaker 2: Right?
- 41:52Speaker 8: Uh all right, all right, Mikey, we're gonna put some
- 41:55Speaker 8: pressure on you here. Give me some How do you
- 41:57Speaker 8: think the series is going to play? What's your predicts? Yeah,
- 42:02Speaker 8: just tell us what you think is gonna happen this weekend.
- 42:07Speaker 9: I think you're gonna it's gonna be a lot similar
- 42:09Speaker 9: to it's gonna it's gonna be very similar to the
- 42:11Speaker 9: Arkansas Series. I think it's gonna be, uh, very reliant
- 42:15Speaker 9: on pitching. I think both sides are gonna pitch, are
- 42:18Speaker 9: gonna throw the ball really well, so it's gonna be
- 42:20Speaker 9: hard to score. I think the team who's able to uh,
- 42:25Speaker 9: you know, manufacturers and I'm not saying necessarily bunt, but
- 42:29Speaker 9: the teams that are able to get on base through
- 42:31Speaker 9: walks and getting hit and working counts not necessarily like
- 42:34Speaker 9: getting base hits, I think that's the team that's gonna win.
- 42:37Speaker 9: And the team that obviously gets the the you know,
- 42:39Speaker 9: the more you know, base hits with with Rugi and
- 42:41Speaker 9: scoring position. I love Anderson, I love Astin. I love
- 42:46Speaker 9: that they got two days off and so everybody's gonna
- 42:49Speaker 9: be be ready. Look, I want to say that she's
- 42:55Speaker 9: gonna sweep because I really do think that Anderson and
- 42:57Speaker 9: Iason are two best in the country. But the Coastal's hot.
- 43:01Speaker 9: I think Lsu wins it in three. I think they
- 43:04Speaker 9: have to go to a Monday game. I think they
- 43:06Speaker 9: win it in three, and somebody is going to come
- 43:11Speaker 9: up with a clutch base. And I've been saying it
- 43:15Speaker 9: all all serious. I think Ashton Larson is gonna get
- 43:19Speaker 9: a pinchit situation. He's gonna drive a guy in. It's
- 43:22Speaker 9: gonna be in a big moment. I really do you know.
- 43:25Speaker 9: He was on deck. I think it was last game
- 43:27Speaker 9: and it just didn't work.
- 43:28Speaker 4: He didn't ended up not getting me that bad.
- 43:29Speaker 9: But I think he's gonna get a big pinch at
- 43:32Speaker 9: some point in this series.
- 43:34Speaker 6: That's a great call and certainly somebody that I can
- 43:36Speaker 6: root for after the way he's handled this year. He
- 43:39Speaker 6: is Mikey Matuk check Out miked up Monday, Wednesday, six
