- 0:17SPEAKER_02: This is the 2024 Masters Preview.
- 0:21SPEAKER_02: We have a lot to talk about today.
- 0:23SPEAKER_02: What's been going on?
- 0:24SPEAKER_02: National Championship game tonight?
- 0:27SPEAKER_02: Solar Eclipse today.
- 0:29SPEAKER_02: And a fight during the baseball game.
- 0:32SPEAKER_02: So stay tuned while me and Johnny detail all of these things and more.
- 0:37SPEAKER_02: Thanks for listening, friends.
- 0:39SPEAKER_02: Here's my pal Johnny right now.
- 0:41SPEAKER_02: How are we doing, Johnny?
- 0:43SPEAKER_00: What's up, BW?
- 0:44SPEAKER_00: Or BW Nance?
- 0:45SPEAKER_00: That was uh that was fantastic.
- 0:48SPEAKER_00: Uh yep, every time you hear Jim Mance's voice saying hello, friends, and you hear that music, you know it's the springtime, and you know the masters is here.
- 0:57SPEAKER_00: That's right.
- 0:58SPEAKER_02: I'm not watching it among the Brazilias right now.
- 1:01SPEAKER_00: There you go.
- 1:03SPEAKER_00: We made it to the Masters.
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: Once you make it to the Masters, then you feel like you got out of the cold winter months and on to spring and summer.
- 1:11SPEAKER_00: So flowers will be blooming and and uh all the good stuff.
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: I saw I don't know, I didn't end up doing it.
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: Did you end up doing it the uh the master's picnic deal?
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: I did not.
- 1:22SPEAKER_02: If I could have got the barbecue, I would have done it.
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: I don't really like pimento cheese, so yeah, did want to that was odd that the barbecue was only offered on the more expensive.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: But I mean, if you had uh uh if you had like 20 people or if you throw in a master's party, heck yeah, that'd be the route to go, man.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: But if it's all just your family, it's pretty pretty pricey to have all that.
- 1:41SPEAKER_02: But uh yeah, if y'all don't know what you're talking about, you can go uh what is it called?
- 1:46SPEAKER_00: Uh Gold Belly, and you can get a a master's just Google's meal master's meal or something like that, because it it's probably not too late.
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: You could probably do it right now and and they'll ship it to your house.
- 1:57SPEAKER_00: And it's literally like you get the master's souvenir cups, and then they have the uh pimento cheese, egg salad, the same stuff.
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: When you go to if you if you don't know what we're talking about, if you go to Augusta to the horse master's uh tournament, the pimento cheese and egg sales sandwiches are like a couple dollars, they're really cheap.
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: Um, I would definitely say the most uh the least expensive food in in all sports.
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: And uh anyway, they'll mail that to your house.
- 2:21SPEAKER_00: And but like the one that has all the stuff, there's some barbecue on that one, it's like I think it was like 200 bucks.
- 2:26SPEAKER_00: So it's pretty pricey.
- 2:27SPEAKER_00: If you but like I said, if you have a bunch of people throwing a party, that'd be the way to go.
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: Plus, you get the souvenirs, and we all know those masters souvenirs are are hard to get.
- 2:36SPEAKER_00: Either you get them at the at the clubhouse at Augusta or you buy them on eBay for way over price once you get in the clubhouse.
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: So um, but yeah, that's a pretty cool deal.
- 2:45SPEAKER_02: That's right.
- 2:46SPEAKER_02: Well, we'll get to the master's preview towards uh the end here, but we have a lot to talk about.
- 2:51SPEAKER_02: Uh first question I have, Johnny, is did you see the eclipse today?
- 2:55SPEAKER_00: You know, it was uh it was cloudy here in Start Vegas, so I did not uh didn't I knew not to look up, but it definitely I was outside on the porch when it happened and it got dark, and but it looked mainly dark, like it looked like it was gonna be a thunderstorm type dark.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: It wasn't like nighttime dark, yeah.
- 3:12SPEAKER_00: It got considerably colder.
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: All of a sudden you could feel a breeze, and then the sun came out and it was over with.
- 3:19SPEAKER_00: So no, I didn't see the eclipse, but I definitely felt some stuff going on.
- 3:22SPEAKER_00: What about you?
- 3:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know, we got like 97% here in Memphis, and I kind of wish I would have gone over to Arkansas.
- 3:30SPEAKER_02: Our old pal Don King went over there and he was texting me earlier, told me he saw it, said it was pretty cool, said it got real dark, said the really the the bugs were cricket coming out, crickets were singing, and uh said it was pretty cool.
- 3:42SPEAKER_02: He said it was worth it.
- 3:43SPEAKER_02: He drove like two hours west of here and checked it out.
- 3:46SPEAKER_02: So wow.
- 3:47SPEAKER_02: I I'd heard traffic was gonna be bad and I had to work earlier, so just didn't make it happen.
- 3:52SPEAKER_02: But I think in 15 or 20 years, whenever the next one is, I'll I'll be sure to see it because 97% was pretty cool.
- 3:59SPEAKER_02: I can't imagine what the full deal was like.
- 4:02SPEAKER_02: But yeah, I'm sure I'll be getting a lot of phone calls uh tomorrow.
- 4:06SPEAKER_02: Hopefully, nobody hopefully not really, nobody burning their eyes or anything like that.
- 4:11SPEAKER_02: I got about 50 calls today.
- 4:13SPEAKER_02: People needing the eclipse classes, and said, you know, it's the it's the day of the eclipse.
- 4:17SPEAKER_02: You could have gotten them anytime, and you're you're waiting until just now, but yeah, it is what it is.
- 4:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 4:23SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, that was uh it's pretty pretty crazy.
- 4:26SPEAKER_00: I've been seeing the videos on online, Twitter, and everywhere from around the world, and it's pretty crazy.
- 4:31SPEAKER_00: Uh, I think I saw one in uh Cincinnati Reds baseball game.
- 4:35SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you saw that, but it was showed the stadium, it was like daylight, and then it completely went dark, like nighttime.
- 4:42SPEAKER_00: The lights came on, and then it went back to daylight.
- 4:44SPEAKER_00: It wasn't pretty crazy seeing that.
- 4:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I guess Juan Valdez was there, and then uh we had a lot of friends of the program.
- 4:50SPEAKER_02: Juan Valdez probably saw it.
- 4:52SPEAKER_02: Uh Coach Cheryl, you sent me a picture of him watching it.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: Yep, Coach Cheryl was watching in Texas.
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: So uh yeah, it was and I think that's where it started, right?
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: It went from Texas all the way up to Maine.
- 5:02SPEAKER_00: So yeah, um, yeah, I saw a Dallas area.
- 5:05SPEAKER_00: I saw the interstate in Dallas, and it was like it was crazy with daylight and then completely dark and then daylight again.
- 5:11SPEAKER_00: So but we didn't really get much, but I think it was just it looked like a just a cloudy day here, so kind of bummer.
- 5:17SPEAKER_00: But uh but yeah, it was it's cool seeing all the videos online and stuff seeing it.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 5:22SPEAKER_02: Well then uh I guess the as we speak, the game, the national championship game is about to start.
- 5:27SPEAKER_02: Yes, so uh yeah, we're doing it.
- 5:31SPEAKER_00: Do I know?
- 5:32SPEAKER_02: Did you do it, Pick'em?
- 5:34SPEAKER_00: I did, I did.
- 5:35SPEAKER_00: I didn't uh you know, in 2015, I picked a perfect final four at BW.
- 5:40SPEAKER_00: First time in my life.
- 5:41SPEAKER_00: I've never done it since perfect final four 2015.
- 5:45SPEAKER_00: And uh I didn't do worth a dang this time, man.
- 5:47SPEAKER_00: I had uh, let's see, I can't remember who who I had winning it all.
- 5:51SPEAKER_00: I had uh oh gosh, I'd have to look it up and see.
- 5:56SPEAKER_00: Who'd you have uh winning it all?
- 5:58SPEAKER_02: Well, I had two of the four.
- 5:59SPEAKER_02: I had I had Purdue and UConn, so I'm doing all right.
- 6:02SPEAKER_02: And I had UConn winning it.
- 6:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but uh it's funny.
- 6:06SPEAKER_02: We've got the family pool going, and actually uh my wife is in first, uh she she doesn't watch basketball at all, and then my sister-in-law is in second place, but she picked Bama um because she's a Bama alum.
- 6:21SPEAKER_02: And so she had she did really good.
- 6:23SPEAKER_02: I she picked Bama to win the whole thing.
- 6:25SPEAKER_02: So I think I'm actually gonna get second place.
- 6:29SPEAKER_01: Nice.
- 6:30SPEAKER_02: I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get second.
- 6:31SPEAKER_02: So the wife and I are gonna be first second in the in the picking we did.
- 6:35SPEAKER_00: That's awesome.
- 6:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I had I'm looking at mine.
- 6:37SPEAKER_00: I had North Carolina over Auburn and Gonzaga over Marquette and North Carolina over Gonzaga.
- 6:42SPEAKER_00: So I had the Tar Hills winning also.
- 6:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was you got knocked out.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I didn't have a single single team in the final four.
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: Now the women's, I did a women's bracket just for the fun of it.
- 6:52SPEAKER_00: And uh I had South Carolina beating uh beating Al win the championship.
- 6:56SPEAKER_00: So I actually won that league when I was in.
- 6:58SPEAKER_00: Um I had South Carolina uh against our buddy Vic Schaefer in Texas, and then I had um I had Iowa and I believe um who did I have on the on the women's side.
- 7:12SPEAKER_00: Let's see, I'm looking right now on it because it has 99%.
- 7:15SPEAKER_00: I finished uh it gave me a little prize uh saying that I won on the on the app.
- 7:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I had South Carolina over Texas and I had Iowa over Yukon.
- 7:25SPEAKER_00: So I picked three out of the four on the women's side and got the exact matchup in the championship.
- 7:29SPEAKER_00: So I guess that's how I won it.
- 7:30SPEAKER_00: But man, it's so hard to win.
- 7:32SPEAKER_00: Like you get these teams like NC State uh popping in there, and you know, you just never know it's a crap shoot, but that's what's so fun about it.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: Uh you never know everybody everybody has a chance.
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: Um like the Bulldogs did back in the day in '96.
- 7:44SPEAKER_00: Who would have thought that?
- 7:45SPEAKER_00: But hopefully we can get back to get back to those days.
- 7:48SPEAKER_00: But uh, but yeah, tonight I I feel like uh we got a pretty cool matchup.
- 7:52SPEAKER_00: You know, you you rarely see a one versus one, so that's pretty neat.
- 7:55SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 7:55SPEAKER_00: It should be evenly matched.
- 7:57SPEAKER_00: Uh UConn trying to go back to back.
- 7:58SPEAKER_00: Uh, we hadn't had that happen since the Gators did it in 06 and 07 with Joe Kim Noah and all those guys.
- 8:05SPEAKER_00: So uh part of me wants to pick UConn to see it back to back, but man, I think that guy from UConn, everybody knows I'm talking about 7'4 guy, Zach Beast.
- 8:14SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're gonna have to contain that guy because it it if not, then I think Purdue's gonna win it.
- 8:19SPEAKER_00: But uh I do, I mean I am anticipating a close game, and I hope it is close.
- 8:24SPEAKER_00: You always want to see good games.
- 8:26SPEAKER_00: So if I'm picking today, I would pick Purdue.
- 8:30SPEAKER_00: But if they contain uh if they stop him, then then Yukon could pull the pull the uh repeat.
- 8:37SPEAKER_00: What about you?
- 8:37SPEAKER_00: What's your prediction on it?
- 8:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know, I'm never right.
- 8:40SPEAKER_02: I picked Yukon to win in my pool, so that means Purdue's probably gonna win.
- 8:44SPEAKER_02: So I think it's I think it'll be a good game, but I I think Purdue pulls it out by four or five points at the end.
- 8:50SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you rarely see something.
- 8:51SPEAKER_00: It's amazing that Yukon, I mean, I can't everybody, majority of the people were picking UConn in the in the poll in the pools this year and last year, no one picked Yukon and they they snuck out of nowhere, and and they've just been kind of dominating this year in the tournament.
- 9:04SPEAKER_00: So uh I think we're in for good.
- 9:07SPEAKER_00: And Alabama, who would have thought they would have they would have I know our buddy uh roll tie wheelie was not happy about that.
- 9:12SPEAKER_00: BW sent me some videos of roll tie wheelie.
- 9:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he he was mad, but he got to go out to Bama practice, so I'm sure that made up for it.
- 9:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's crazy.
- 9:21SPEAKER_00: Nick Saban, as I text you, would never let that happen.
- 9:24SPEAKER_00: So it's pretty crazy to see see uh how different the the Bama program is right now in football.
- 9:30SPEAKER_00: So that might be a good thing for us.
- 9:32SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, that it's not as strict as it was.
- 9:35SPEAKER_00: So we'll see.
- 9:36SPEAKER_00: But yeah, that guy, he's he he's living the life right now, being the Bama fan internet, internet sensation.
- 9:42SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, so yeah, UConn, Purdue, it's gonna be a be a good one.
- 9:47SPEAKER_00: And then uh and then Bama getting in there.
- 9:49SPEAKER_00: That was that was surprising.
- 9:50SPEAKER_00: But but yeah, basketball season will be over tonight, and and we'll hear one shining moment.
- 9:55SPEAKER_00: That's always my favorite thing to see that.
- 9:57SPEAKER_00: But we did speaking of basketball, we got some big news last night to talk about uh John Calapore leaving the Wildcats and going to the Hogs, man.
- 10:05SPEAKER_00: Who who would have thought that?
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: I'm just glad they didn't click get Chris Jans because that was the news.
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: Same here Friday night or Saturday night that Chris Jans was interviewing for the job.
- 10:15SPEAKER_00: And so I was so happy when I saw Calapore.
- 10:17SPEAKER_00: But Calapore, I think he knew he was on his way out.
- 10:20SPEAKER_00: Kentucky is just kind of falling, they're not the blue bloods that they were, they're losing in the first round every year.
- 10:25SPEAKER_00: He's getting these studs in, and he was on thin ice over there.
- 10:28SPEAKER_00: So I knew he better, he probably thought, hey, I better jump out while I can.
- 10:32SPEAKER_00: And uh, you know, Arkansas when we were when we were growing up, BW was like in the 90s, they were they were the team to beat.
- 10:39SPEAKER_00: They had all those studs in the mid-90s and uh Nolan Richardson and the 40 Minutes of Hell, you remember that?
- 10:46SPEAKER_00: They were they were a good team, and and uh so it'll be interesting to see if he can bring them back, or but uh I don't have faith that he does.
- 10:52SPEAKER_00: If he wasn't doing if he wasn't bringing Kentucky, has so much more what's the word I'm looking for, prestige as a program and getting blue chip guys in.
- 11:02SPEAKER_00: He couldn't do it with them.
- 11:03SPEAKER_00: I don't know what makes Arkansas think they can do it there, but uh they got a big name coach, and that's always a big thing that could draw some in.
- 11:11SPEAKER_00: But but I'm just glad Chris Jans is staying here.
- 11:13SPEAKER_00: We got we got our buddy Josh Hubbard coming back and and Cam Matthews coming back.
- 11:18SPEAKER_00: So um then we got that uh shooter coming in, and which we desperately need, and then they need to get a big guy.
- 11:25SPEAKER_00: And I feel confident that we can make a third straight year to the to the tournament next year.
- 11:29SPEAKER_00: Um, but I'm afraid that Chris Jans is gonna be like uh be like Dan Mullen.
- 11:34SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, that's the bad thing about it is when you get a coach that's a winner, proven winner, all the big time schools are gonna come after you, and you have to fight them off.
- 11:42SPEAKER_00: And uh that's a good thing for your program because you know you got a got a winner, but I'm afraid that's gonna happen every year, you know.
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: When Mullen was here, every year he's like, who's he going?
- 11:50SPEAKER_00: Where's he going?
- 11:50SPEAKER_00: Where's he going?
- 11:51SPEAKER_00: And then we're it's year two, and this happened with Jan.
- 11:54SPEAKER_00: So um hopefully we can we can keep him for for uh the long run and and and make some runs with him because he's a heck of a coach and he's proven it so far only two years here in Starbucks.
- 12:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I hope that that was just a lot of smoke and not not much else because I hope he's not out there looking.
- 12:10SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'm assuming that these people are coming to us, and you know, it's it's one of those things that they probably say, well, this is how much money we're gonna give you.
- 12:18SPEAKER_02: So come and come talk to us.
- 12:20SPEAKER_02: And so it's probably hard for those guys to turn it down, but we'll see where the loyalty is.
- 12:25SPEAKER_02: I'm hoping that it we at least get another year.
- 12:27SPEAKER_02: Hopefully, nobody else comes after him.
- 12:29SPEAKER_00: And uh I saw Josh Hubbard depends on uh Josh Hubbard had a showcase at our old stomping grounds at MRA this past weekend.
- 12:37SPEAKER_00: Uh that was pretty cool seeing that.
- 12:38SPEAKER_00: So I know that's gonna attract a bunch of recruits.
- 12:41SPEAKER_00: A lot of people when you got a ball player that's as good as Hubbard, uh, that's gonna attract players.
- 12:45SPEAKER_00: They want to play with superstars like that.
- 12:47SPEAKER_00: So yeah.
- 12:48SPEAKER_00: So with his showcase, I mean, that was pretty cool.
- 12:51SPEAKER_00: And that was cool seeing seeing MRA's uh gym, man, on uh on the national level.
- 12:56SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's all over Twitter I saw everywhere, and uh Dewey get a lot of mistake.
- 13:00SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Deweys Hall, yeah.
- 13:01SPEAKER_00: Hard to say that because I wasn't what it was called when we were there, but Deweys Hall is it.
- 13:05SPEAKER_00: And uh um I feel like that's that's I mean, he's he's such a stud, as we all know, and that's gonna attract players.
- 13:12SPEAKER_00: So so that's good.
- 13:13SPEAKER_00: If we keep Jans in place, keep Hubbard getting to get all these guys in, then I feel real good about the future of uh Mississippi State hoops.
- 13:20SPEAKER_02: So same here, Johnny.
- 13:23SPEAKER_02: Well, uh we had some drama at the baseball game the other night, and you had a front row seat for that.
- 13:27SPEAKER_02: So tell tell us a little bit about that.
- 13:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I'm always out in the outfield with with uh shout out to to my buddy uh Phil Silva and the and the old milk truck crew.
- 13:36SPEAKER_00: That's where I'm always been for you many years, and in right field with them and Hobie and the Tiki Lounge.
- 13:41SPEAKER_00: That's where I usually always go.
- 13:42SPEAKER_00: And uh a friend of ours uh happened to walk by and saw me and said, Hey John Clark, you want to do you want a uh a uh triple crown pass?
- 13:48SPEAKER_00: I was like, heck yeah.
- 13:49SPEAKER_00: I've never been in the triple crown before, so I've heard a lot of things about it.
- 13:53SPEAKER_00: And uh man, it was so awesome.
- 13:55SPEAKER_00: It was like a um, it's pretty much like the club level.
- 13:58SPEAKER_00: You go down.
- 13:58SPEAKER_00: I've been to the one in in LSU at Alex Box a couple times.
- 14:02SPEAKER_00: It's like uh it's right below home plate, same thing as it is at Doody Noble.
- 14:06SPEAKER_00: And there's no windows there because you're you're literally inside at the stadium at the bottom.
- 14:10SPEAKER_00: But they got TVs everywhere, buffet, food, drinks, lockers, all that sort of stuff.
- 14:16SPEAKER_00: And then you you come on out and they're right there, right behind home plate where there's uh uh where there's uh um uh where the net is and all that stuff.
- 14:23SPEAKER_00: So I got to see our buddy uh Vic Schaefer and his wife got to talk to them.
- 14:27SPEAKER_00: Uh he was in town, so that was cool.
- 14:29SPEAKER_00: Getting to catch up with Vic and uh he's doing good and he he loves coming back to start when he's got a got a farm here, and and he was telling me he was getting ready to go turkey hunting the next morning.
- 14:39SPEAKER_00: So hopefully he got him a hopefully he got him a good turkey.
- 14:43SPEAKER_00: Um, but uh yeah, he was there and and I'm um I was right there when it happened.
- 14:48SPEAKER_00: And uh, you know, they hit the ball, everybody saw it, hit the ball right field, they throw the ball in, and then Johnny Long did what he did to the catcher.
- 14:57SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 14:57SPEAKER_00: I didn't see I did see the catcher after I went home and watched it on TV.
- 15:00SPEAKER_00: The catcher, I mean the the player for Georgia said something.
- 15:04SPEAKER_00: We don't know what we what he said, we'll never know what he said.
- 15:06SPEAKER_00: And then Johnny Long reacted to it and and did that.
- 15:10SPEAKER_00: And and man, I I it's just uncalled for, you know, what it I it's hard to say that man, when you're in that situation, I I got kind of a tipper on on some instances.
- 15:20SPEAKER_00: If something somebody says something to me, I'll probably do it, uh do that exactly what he did.
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: But but it is you got to control your emotions and stuff like that.
- 15:28SPEAKER_00: It's so hard to do, easy, easy, easier said than done, but when you're in the moment of the game, but uh, but man, it could have cost us big time.
- 15:35SPEAKER_00: Like uh it could have, I mean, we're we're trying to trying to make the tournament and losing that game, and then going on if we had had to play with bench players, we would have lost that game on Sunday.
- 15:45SPEAKER_00: And we're we're fighting for a regional.
- 15:47SPEAKER_00: So he literally could have cost us a chance of uh being uh in the regionals.
- 15:51SPEAKER_00: All he had to do tag the gal, go to the dugout.
- 15:53SPEAKER_00: That's all it was in the end of story.
- 15:55SPEAKER_00: But he did what he did, and I mean he he issued an apology yesterday.
- 15:58SPEAKER_00: I know he felt bad about it, but um, but the crazy thing is, what everybody said is it was a third out, all the players of state was coming were going to the dugout.
- 16:07SPEAKER_00: And I mean, Hunter Hines was actually being like a peacemaker trying to uh separate all this stuff, and they all get suspended.
- 16:13SPEAKER_00: And it went on for 45 minutes, man.
- 16:15SPEAKER_00: Just sitting waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, what's going on, what's going on.
- 16:18SPEAKER_00: And then I mean, we had two pitchers in the outfield, and how Stevens, our starting pitcher, is batting at the end of the game.
- 16:24SPEAKER_00: I mean, it was just insane.
- 16:25SPEAKER_00: But the crazy thing is the guy that hit the home run that ended up being the game-winning home run for Georgia.
- 16:30SPEAKER_00: I watched him and he's all on Twitter.
- 16:32SPEAKER_00: You can see the picture.
- 16:33SPEAKER_00: He's taunting.
- 16:34SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's right there saying stuff in the middle of everything, and they didn't did not eject him from the game.
- 16:39SPEAKER_00: So that's the difference of the game, right there.
- 16:41SPEAKER_00: Take the guy out.
- 16:41SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
- 16:42SPEAKER_00: We might have we still might have lost, but he literally hit the home run that won the game, and then we had our pitcher batting, which probably never batted before.
- 16:49SPEAKER_00: So that was just uh just uncalled for and just all around just a disaster.
- 16:53SPEAKER_00: Uh but I think Johnny Long learned his lesson, and and um and like I said, it's just one of those things, and the heat of the moment, you gotta control your emotions, easier said than done.
- 17:02SPEAKER_00: But um, I think he learned a lesson on that.
- 17:05SPEAKER_00: And and uh and our guys, I mean, I'm so happy because uh I saw Zach Selman what he said, and uh he was mad about it with every reason to be, and I'm so glad they reversed it because man, it was gonna be a disaster come Sunday.
- 17:18SPEAKER_00: We didn't I don't know if you saw that on Twitter, somebody put out like uh a laugh, uh like a lineup like saying Candyman's gonna be playing third base, shortstop, you know, just uh just a funny lineup because we really didn't have anybody to play.
- 17:32SPEAKER_00: So when they said that everybody was gonna be playing except for uh Johnny Long, and I don't know what the other guy did, uh Logan Kohler, or I think that's his name.
- 17:39SPEAKER_00: I don't know what it why he was suspended, but but anyway, uh that's all said and done.
- 17:43SPEAKER_00: We got the win.
- 17:44SPEAKER_00: I was scared yesterday.
- 17:45SPEAKER_00: They hit a grand slam.
- 17:46SPEAKER_00: I was like to go up, I think 5-0.
- 17:48SPEAKER_00: I was like, oh my gosh.
- 17:49SPEAKER_00: And then these this foil team just keeps fighting back, and baseball just keeps fighting back.
- 17:54SPEAKER_00: And you know, compared to the past two years, which has been such a disaster for Mississippi State baseball, you got to give these guys props.
- 18:00SPEAKER_00: They constantly fight back and they're in the games.
- 18:03SPEAKER_00: And you know, we easily could have got be six and oh, which is hard to believe.
- 18:07SPEAKER_00: We had two walk-offs against against Florida, which we led the game and blew it in the ninth.
- 18:12SPEAKER_00: And then that game, that guy should not have hit the home run against Georgia.
- 18:15SPEAKER_00: That's six and oh right now, man.
- 18:17SPEAKER_00: If you win those, if you go six and oh against Florida and Georgia, you're in the conversation of hosting a regional.
- 18:22SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
- 18:23SPEAKER_02: So uh we were we had some close ones to Texas AM too.
- 18:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah, should have won at least one of those.
- 18:29SPEAKER_00: So the it's crazy that we're playing so good against the top competition in the league and we're losing midweek games.
- 18:35SPEAKER_00: That just doesn't add up.
- 18:36SPEAKER_00: I don't understand about the midweek games if the guys just don't care or or are they not that they don't care, but they're not investing as much as the SEC games.
- 18:44SPEAKER_00: But um, I heard uh Jay Powell say that he thinks in the future they might do away with midweek games for that reason and just play conference games all the time, which that might be a good thing.
- 18:54SPEAKER_00: But uh but you can't keep dropping these midweek games.
- 18:56SPEAKER_00: We've got to have them.
- 18:57SPEAKER_00: Um, but as long as we're playing good on the weekends, it's so hard to sweep in the SEC, but if you can get one sweep here and there, but win two out of three every weekend, then you're setting yourself up for a good spot in the NCAA tournament.
- 19:11SPEAKER_00: And that's what we're doing so far.
- 19:12SPEAKER_00: As long as we don't get swept and we don't lose any series, then we're we're setting ourselves up.
- 19:17SPEAKER_00: Win the game's at home.
- 19:18SPEAKER_00: Got Ole Mess on the road this weekend.
- 19:21SPEAKER_00: Ole Miss has been struggling.
- 19:22SPEAKER_00: They're in year two of the curse.
- 19:24SPEAKER_00: You know, LSU's in year one of the curse.
- 19:26SPEAKER_00: Seems like it's a two-year curse, hopefully, because we're turning it around, obviously.
- 19:30SPEAKER_00: So uh they're in year two of the curse, and and uh so we need to sweep Ole Mess or at least win the series on the road to win the series, and then we come back and got Auburn Super Bowl weekend, and they're struggling really bad right now.
- 19:42SPEAKER_00: I don't know why they're they don't have a curse going on, they're just struggling.
- 19:45SPEAKER_00: But uh we got to win these two series and and go forth uh that way.
- 19:50SPEAKER_00: But I like our chances of being in the tournament right now.
- 19:52SPEAKER_00: We're uh projected two and three seed in different uh regionals.
- 19:56SPEAKER_00: Uh I really wish we could host, but like I said, if we won those six, we probably would be in the discussion.
- 20:01SPEAKER_00: But losing midweek games, I'm afraid, is kind of like dropping non-conference games in college basketball.
- 20:06SPEAKER_00: Uh you get in the NCAA tournament and you lose seating.
- 20:09SPEAKER_00: We lost to Southern University in basketball, and that kind of hurt us in our seating.
- 20:13SPEAKER_00: Uh, same thing with baseball, as far as you don't you can't drop midweek games and expect to host regionals.
- 20:18SPEAKER_00: So, but man, just to be in the tournament is uh uh compared to these past two years.
- 20:22SPEAKER_00: That's a big deal.
- 20:23SPEAKER_00: So uh yeah, I like the way we're we're improving.
- 20:26SPEAKER_00: Good to be back at the dude.
- 20:27SPEAKER_00: Good to smell the smoke and the outfield and grilling out and having a good time.
- 20:32SPEAKER_00: So uh so baseball season's back, basketball's wrapping up, the masters are here.
- 20:36SPEAKER_00: And uh yeah, just good good times.
- 20:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Debbie.
- 20:41SPEAKER_02: Well, uh we we've we've had to delay, we delayed our uh annual Johnny's birthday meal this year.
- 20:47SPEAKER_02: We're actually gonna have it this Friday.
- 20:49SPEAKER_02: You're coming up.
- 20:49SPEAKER_02: We're gonna go to a Grizzlies versus Lakers game as the tradition.
- 20:54SPEAKER_02: Hopefully, LeBron plays, and we're either going to some tourist traps.
- 20:59SPEAKER_02: We're going to Rendezvous or Technology Brazil, both, which I don't care about tourist traps.
- 21:04SPEAKER_02: They're good food.
- 21:05SPEAKER_02: So I'm tourist traps.
- 21:06SPEAKER_00: We usually hit up combo steakhouse every year, but we're going to switch it up this year and hit up one of those.
- 21:11SPEAKER_00: But man, we've well, this is our tradition.
- 21:13SPEAKER_00: We've been doing it for many years.
- 21:14SPEAKER_00: Going to see LeBron and against the Grizz.
- 21:16SPEAKER_00: And it's uh it's a crapshoot with that.
- 21:18SPEAKER_00: You never know with him whether he's gonna show up or not, or whether he's gonna play.
- 21:21SPEAKER_00: Or I went one time with a buddy, he didn't and we had court-sized seats and he didn't even show up.
- 21:25SPEAKER_00: He didn't even come to Memphis.
- 21:26SPEAKER_00: But last year when we went, he was injured.
- 21:28SPEAKER_00: So uh it's pretty crazy.
- 21:30SPEAKER_00: Um, hopefully, I haven't looked at the standings yet.
- 21:33SPEAKER_00: Uh BW might know about that.
- 21:35SPEAKER_00: Are they in are they in the in the NBA playoffs right now?
- 21:38SPEAKER_00: Are they they're getting are they fighting for a spot?
- 21:40SPEAKER_00: They're if they're in the getting close, I think he's gonna play.
- 21:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I haven't looked.
- 21:43SPEAKER_02: I've said it like two days ago, but they were still fighting for a spot.
- 21:48SPEAKER_02: So we'll see.
- 21:49SPEAKER_00: Yeah, good.
- 21:49SPEAKER_00: That's a good sign.
- 21:50SPEAKER_00: If they're fighting for a spot, then then he they need him.
- 21:52SPEAKER_00: But they've already clinched him, he might not.
- 21:54SPEAKER_00: So I'm looking, I'm pulling it up right now as we speak and look in.
- 21:58SPEAKER_00: They are The ninth seed in the West.
- 22:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 22:02SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 22:03SPEAKER_00: So 10, I think 10 get well, 6 is the main playoff.
- 22:07SPEAKER_02: So they're in the play-in, right?
- 22:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 22:12SPEAKER_00: They're hanging in on the play-in tournament.
- 22:14SPEAKER_00: So uh but does look like they're gonna make is this the last week of NBA BW?
- 22:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think that may be the last game Friday.
- 22:21SPEAKER_02: Maybe okay.
- 22:22SPEAKER_02: I can't remember for sure.
- 22:24SPEAKER_00: Because I'm looking now, Golden State's uh Lakers are 45 and 34, Golden States 43 and 35, and then 11 is the Rockets, who's 38 and 40.
- 22:34SPEAKER_00: So uh so yeah, I I I don't know.
- 22:37SPEAKER_00: They're they're in as of now, but uh surely hopefully he'll play.
- 22:41SPEAKER_00: Let's yeah, hope he does.
- 22:43SPEAKER_00: But uh regardless, it's always fun getting to do that little tradition we have going on, and and then the NBA playoffs will be here.
- 22:49SPEAKER_00: And I know your Grizzlies didn't have a good season this year, but no, uh I don't know.
- 22:54SPEAKER_02: I'm hoping we catch a break with the uh with the first round because we ought to get a pretty good good pick in the first round.
- 23:01SPEAKER_02: And right, we got a lot of guys coming back next year, so we get another piece in the first round, it may work out.
- 23:06SPEAKER_02: We'll see.
- 23:07SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 23:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because when what is what was it called?
- 23:10SPEAKER_00: The grindhouse, man.
- 23:11SPEAKER_00: That was rocking back in the playoff days.
- 23:13SPEAKER_02: Oh man.
- 23:14SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they actually uh this past week, weekend, they honored Marcusal.
- 23:20SPEAKER_02: They retired his jersey and had all the guys back up there, so it was pretty cool to see that.
- 23:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that was a team, man.
- 23:26SPEAKER_00: Marcus, Zebo, and all those guys.
- 23:28SPEAKER_00: That was that was a lot of fun.
- 23:31SPEAKER_02: Definitely was.
- 23:32SPEAKER_02: I missed that those days for sure.
- 23:34SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 23:35SPEAKER_00: But and then it'll be interesting about Bronny.
- 23:37SPEAKER_00: I saw where he's he's entered the portal.
- 23:39SPEAKER_00: Uh, and then he said he's gonna declare for the draft.
- 23:41SPEAKER_00: So yeah, man, if he gets uh drafted, it's literally just because of who he is.
- 23:46SPEAKER_00: Because if you looked at his stats at USC, he didn't put up anything this year.
- 23:50SPEAKER_00: And and uh, but I know LeBron, that's been his goal to keep playing so he can play with his son, which I hope he does get to because yeah, I don't know if that's ever been done, Father.
- 23:59SPEAKER_00: I know that'd be cool.
- 24:00SPEAKER_00: Ken Griffey Jr.
- 24:01SPEAKER_00: and Ken Griffey Sr.
- 24:02SPEAKER_00: played on the same team, but basketball, I don't know if it's ever been done.
- 24:05SPEAKER_00: So I'd love to see that happen.
- 24:06SPEAKER_00: I know that's what he's holding out for.
- 24:08SPEAKER_00: And um, so yeah, best of luck to to Bronny.
- 24:11SPEAKER_00: Which I love that picture that we see of uh Josh Hubbard and Bronny.
- 24:15SPEAKER_00: I sure wish he'd come to state.
- 24:16SPEAKER_00: That'd be so awesome.
- 24:18SPEAKER_00: But uh if I had to guess, I would think he's gonna end up in Ohio State, which would which wouldn't surprise me if he ends up at Ohio State and LeBron goes to the Cavs and ends his career where he where it began.
- 24:28SPEAKER_00: But uh that would be that would be interesting.
- 24:30SPEAKER_00: But I don't know.
- 24:31SPEAKER_00: I I think whoever drafts Bronny, LeBron's gonna request a trade to them.
- 24:35SPEAKER_00: So they he should do that because I mean that's a rarity that that ever happens.
- 24:40SPEAKER_00: So um, so best of luck.
- 24:42SPEAKER_00: But uh yeah, it's uh it's it's fun um this time of the year.
- 24:46SPEAKER_00: And uh before we get in our master's picks, I do want to throw out uh I'll get you talking about the coffee, but uh if y'all didn't listen, we they put out a uh made in Mississippi podcast.
- 24:54SPEAKER_00: It's like an entrepreneur podcast.
- 24:56SPEAKER_00: Uh me and you both have shared it on our socials.
- 24:59SPEAKER_00: And uh, if you haven't gotten a chance to listen to it, uh give it a listen up, it'll talk about exactly what we've been doing for three years with this fundraising for Johnnypacker.net for uh my sharing my story.
- 25:09SPEAKER_00: I'll talk about my story on the podcast.
- 25:11SPEAKER_00: And uh we talk about um BW goes into about the glasses and and about the coffee products, and uh it was a lot of fun getting to do that, and uh um hopefully a lot of people have have listened to it and learned about it.
- 25:24SPEAKER_00: And uh I know you he texts me a few people have bought the coffee uh this past week.
- 25:29SPEAKER_00: So uh maybe they listened to that and uh just keep spreading the word, jonypacker.net.
- 25:33SPEAKER_00: And um it was just uh it was a fun time getting to do that.
- 25:37SPEAKER_00: And and uh I actually I heard from the uh the people that honored us last year, BW, uh the uh Memphis chapter, they messaged me today actually and said um said they listened to it and that uh we did a good they said y'all did a good job.
- 25:52SPEAKER_00: We love to have y'all up for an event sometime.
- 25:54SPEAKER_00: So um, so yeah, so really cool.
- 25:56SPEAKER_00: And um, but if you haven't listened, listened to that, check it out.
- 25:59SPEAKER_00: It's on our social media pages where you can look on uh Apple uh Spotify Podcast made in Mississippi, the Johnny Packer story, brewing oak, I believe is what they put it on.
- 26:09SPEAKER_00: So a lot of fun.
- 26:10SPEAKER_00: So any any updates regarding the coffee?
- 26:13SPEAKER_00: I know you said you got some people bought bought some.
- 26:15SPEAKER_02: We did, and that's what I was gonna mention.
- 26:17SPEAKER_02: Um, first off, if you never listened to this show, we sell coffee to raise money for Assystic Fibrosis Foundation, and our website is johnnypacker.net.
- 26:27SPEAKER_02: You can go on there, you can order just about any kind of coffee you want, and you can have it delivered to your door, fresh roasted.
- 26:35SPEAKER_02: Pretty much the day you buy it, they roast it and send it to you.
- 26:38SPEAKER_02: So we have all kinds of options there.
- 26:39SPEAKER_02: And I was gonna highlight, we had somebody order it, uh, Dr.
- 26:43SPEAKER_02: Cossack out in Madison.
- 26:45SPEAKER_02: Um, somebody we both know.
- 26:47SPEAKER_02: Um, you used to see him for your your eye exams, and I know him because he's an eye doctor.
- 26:52SPEAKER_02: And so he he ordered some, never never ordered anything before, but he knew he was gonna like it so much, he just went ahead and put it on subscription.
- 26:58SPEAKER_02: So he's gonna get him the fresh bag coffee every single month.
- 27:03SPEAKER_02: And every time he does that, a little bit of that money is gonna go to the cystic fibrosis foundation.
- 27:08SPEAKER_02: So if you're interested in supporting the Cystic Fibrosis, uh the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
- 27:14SPEAKER_02: If you drink coffee like me, you got to get it from somewhere, may as well get it from us.
- 27:19SPEAKER_02: So Johnnypacker.net, get on there and check it out, set up a subscription, just keep it rolling.
- 27:25SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the subscription's the way to go because if you do that, like you said, it'll constantly uh donate money, and that's what we're what we're looking for.
- 27:32SPEAKER_00: I talked about that in the podcast.
- 27:33SPEAKER_00: Why why we raise the money is strictly for CF research because uh um, like I said, there's always that there's that 10% that are in need of a drug, and the only way it can happen is through money in uh clinical trials to get new drugs out there.
- 27:46SPEAKER_00: So it all adds up.
- 27:48SPEAKER_00: You might not be thinking that you're uh you're helping out, but uh in the big picture of things, adding buying one simple bag of coffee, putting it on subscription to get it monthly or weekly, ever how you ever you want to get it, makes a huge difference.
- 28:00SPEAKER_00: So so uh we appreciate it.
- 28:01SPEAKER_00: Can't say it enough.
- 28:02SPEAKER_00: Johnnypacker.net, and uh it's uh good cause, a win-win deal for for everything.
- 28:08SPEAKER_00: So uh so with that being said, we'll switch over to uh to our master's preview and and uh who are we picking, BW.
- 28:16SPEAKER_02: Well, Johnny, you know, it's I I feel like professional golf in the last year has kind of gone downhill with all these guys going to live golf and whatever they call it, and just all the kind of fighting and the back and forth.
- 28:28SPEAKER_02: And you go and you look at these PGA events, and there's several guys at the top that you recognize, but then there's a lot of it, it kind of feels like one of those tournaments where there's a lot of no-name guys on there.
- 28:41SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 28:42SPEAKER_02: And and you know, I mean, some of those guys are getting a chance to prove themselves, but it just kind of it almost feels like college basketball, just kind of it's a new team every year, and you don't know who you're watching, and it's so split.
- 28:53SPEAKER_02: And and I never watch any of the live tournaments, so I I don't know how some of these live guys are playing.
- 28:58SPEAKER_02: But I mean, the cool thing about the Masters is that everybody that qualifies that's a good player is gonna be in the field, so you got some live guys and you got some regular guys, and so I always just hope it's a good tournament.
- 29:11SPEAKER_02: I always want a handful of the guys that I like to be in contention at the end of it, and I just don't want somebody random to win it to like Miguel Inhel, Jimenez, or somebody like that, right?
- 29:23SPEAKER_02: And as long as a a big name guy wins it, it's it's a good tournament, then I'm usually pretty happy about it.
- 29:30SPEAKER_02: So I'm always hoping for McElroy.
- 29:33SPEAKER_02: I want him to get want him to get it, get one, and then it'd be cool to see Tiger dude again.
- 29:38SPEAKER_02: I don't really think he's got a chance.
- 29:40SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 29:41SPEAKER_02: He he could surprise us.
- 29:42SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's looked pretty rough.
- 29:44SPEAKER_02: He looks like he's pretty hobbled up, but he may he may have something in him still.
- 29:48SPEAKER_02: But I really feel like it's probably gonna be, you know, one of the live guys like Kepka or Rom.
- 29:55SPEAKER_02: Rom may be a repeat, or it could even be uh Scotty Scheffler.
- 30:00SPEAKER_02: And yeah, that's you know, so I'm gonna either go with Scheffler, Rom, or Kepka.
- 30:06SPEAKER_02: It's gonna be one of those three.
- 30:07SPEAKER_00: There you go.
- 30:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm uh I'm actually looking at at the picks right now.
- 30:11SPEAKER_00: I was gonna go with uh Scotty Scheffler.
- 30:13SPEAKER_00: Uh was it two years ago?
- 30:14SPEAKER_00: He dominated the Masters, did really well.
- 30:17SPEAKER_00: I like him.
- 30:17SPEAKER_00: He's a he's a good dude.
- 30:19SPEAKER_00: And he and on the odds, he's got four to one odds.
- 30:21SPEAKER_00: So I mean he's the favorite.
- 30:22SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 30:23SPEAKER_02: Man, that's a pretty good ads.
- 30:24SPEAKER_00: Odds.
- 30:25SPEAKER_00: He didn't get odds.
- 30:26SPEAKER_00: Um, I was going, I'd say Scotty Scheffler, Brooks Kepko, like you said, he's at 16 to one.
- 30:32SPEAKER_00: I think he's he's always there.
- 30:33SPEAKER_00: Dustin Johnson's always there.
- 30:35SPEAKER_00: Uh he's at 40 to one.
- 30:36SPEAKER_00: Um another guy that I think he's got 61 eyes, but I think I think he's uh pretty good golfer, uh, is Sam Burns.
- 30:44SPEAKER_00: I think he can he might make some noise.
- 30:48SPEAKER_00: Uh another guy to look out for um is uh Keegan Bradley or Bryson DeShambu Shimbo.
- 30:56SPEAKER_00: Those guys could uh be at the leaderboard as well.
- 30:59SPEAKER_00: But uh, and like I said, John Ram.
- 31:01SPEAKER_00: I don't know if there's I guess since Tiger there hasn't been a repeat masters champion.
- 31:06SPEAKER_02: Um, probably not.
- 31:09SPEAKER_02: What does it say about Tiger?
- 31:10SPEAKER_02: What are his odds?
- 31:11SPEAKER_00: He's not even on the on the thing.
- 31:13SPEAKER_00: He's not even on there, not even no, so uh yeah, so Tiger, he uh I I'd like I said, I'd love to see him being it that people will always say this, and I I agree with it.
- 31:24SPEAKER_00: It's the Masters, Sunday Masters with Tiger uh in the field in contention.
- 31:29SPEAKER_00: There's nothing better in sports, man.
- 31:30SPEAKER_00: That's the best.
- 31:31SPEAKER_00: And uh I'd love to see that, but I just I think his body's worn out, man.
- 31:35SPEAKER_00: I just I can't see him competing.
- 31:37SPEAKER_00: Uh uh, it's good to see him actually playing golf because there's so many years that he's not been the body had not held up to even play golf.
- 31:44SPEAKER_00: So um it's good to see him there, but I just don't see him see him competing.
- 31:48SPEAKER_00: But like Rory, man, I love love to see Rory win it, man.
- 31:51SPEAKER_00: He's always he's never won it.
- 31:53SPEAKER_00: And uh we've always been cheering for him.
- 31:55SPEAKER_00: He's had chances and and uh but I'm not picking him because every time I pick him, uh I jinx him, it seems like he always chokes or something.
- 32:02SPEAKER_00: So I'm not even going that route this time.
- 32:04SPEAKER_00: But oh yeah, yeah.
- 32:05SPEAKER_00: But I'm going, I'm going.
- 32:07SPEAKER_00: Uh I don't, I don't, John Ram could repeat, but I'm not going with him because I just don't I don't think it's gonna happen a repeat champion.
- 32:14SPEAKER_00: I might have might have jinxed it saying that, but uh my three would be Scotty Scheffler, Brooks, Kepka, and I'm going with the uh sleeper Sam Burns as well.
- 32:22SPEAKER_02: So uh well I need I need to throw out another one I left off the list.
- 32:26SPEAKER_02: It's Will Zalatoris.
- 32:28SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 32:29SPEAKER_02: Zalatoris was hurt.
- 32:30SPEAKER_02: Um, I guess he missed the last two masters.
- 32:33SPEAKER_02: Um so he was out, and he's he seems to be back in good form.
- 32:39SPEAKER_00: He's uh he's uh he's he's always there 35 to one.
- 32:42SPEAKER_00: 35 to one odds for Zalatoris.
- 32:45SPEAKER_00: Yep, so that's good.
- 32:46SPEAKER_00: That's good.
- 32:47SPEAKER_00: Uh Cam Young's at 50 to 1.
- 32:50SPEAKER_00: Uh he's another one I didn't mention.
- 32:52SPEAKER_00: But uh, but yeah, so it's gonna be it's gonna be uh it's gonna be fun.
- 32:56SPEAKER_00: Um, but I I just think uh Scotty Scheffler, man, and nobody said anything about uh about Jordan Speed.
- 33:02SPEAKER_00: I know he was a big name, but uh I don't know.
- 33:05SPEAKER_00: He's he's he could do it again, but um Man, I don't know.
- 33:09SPEAKER_02: I think he's got too many demons on 12 after he blew it, blew it that one year.
- 33:13SPEAKER_02: I think he gets over there, and I just he he looks at that and he just thinks about that, and he's gonna put it in that water at least at least one time during his round, he's putting in that water on 12.
- 33:24SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 33:25SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 33:27SPEAKER_00: But uh, but yeah, as we sit here today, I'm going uh uh out of all those picks, those three.
- 33:32SPEAKER_00: I if I had to pick between the three that I picked, I'd say Scotty Scheffler.
- 33:36SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm going with him as he's the he's the favorite.
- 33:38SPEAKER_00: But you you know how it goes with sports, the favorite hardly ever wins.
- 33:42SPEAKER_00: So uh we'll see how it plays out.
- 33:45SPEAKER_00: Just like that number one seed in college baseball, Arkansas has that right now.
- 33:48SPEAKER_00: I I know Arkansas fans listening to this probably want them to drop a few games before the tournament starts because yeah, you know, Tennessee two years ago was number one seed, and that's a legitimate curse, it seems like in college baseball going into the playoffs being at one seed.
- 34:01SPEAKER_00: So uh so it's not always good to be the favorite picked.
- 34:04SPEAKER_00: Uh uh underdogs are always out there.
- 34:07SPEAKER_00: So um, but anyway, regardless, I hope it's a a good masters tournament with good weather and and hope Sunday.
- 34:13SPEAKER_00: I don't want it to be a blowout, I want it to be a contention on the back nine on Sunday.
- 34:17SPEAKER_00: Uh that's where it's all about, what it's all about.
- 34:20SPEAKER_02: So yes, sir.
- 34:22SPEAKER_02: I'm ready to see it.
- 34:23SPEAKER_02: Hopefully the weather holds up and and we get a good good finish on Sunday.
- 34:28SPEAKER_00: Yes, indeed.
- 34:29SPEAKER_00: See our friend Jimmy.
