- 1:12Speaker 3: it's good weekends thing midweek kind of, you know, not
- 1:16Speaker 3: on a Wednesday. Well, what's the end seams. Let's spill
- 1:19Speaker 3: the beans here a little bit. I'm a seven guy.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Well you're.
- 1:24Speaker 5: Five for a bathing suit. Seven yea for normal? Okay, good, good, good?
- 1:29Speaker 3: Well these ones, these ones? Uh five and a half

- 1:37Speaker 3: Just bring it out a lot, That's what I'm saying.
- 1:39Speaker 3: If you got it, you know, let the world see
- 1:43Speaker 3: flowing it. Well, but when you sit on a leather
- 1:47Speaker 3: couch super low, Yeah, they kind of slide back. You slide,
- 1:50Speaker 3: they slide back a little bit, the body slides forward bits.
- 1:54Speaker 2: That's the thing.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Yeah, you get Then at that point, honestly where we're going,
- 1:59Speaker 3: you got all? I mean, you never really know. You
- 2:02Speaker 3: certainly never really know. Wandre did point out Toppelganger you
- 2:07Speaker 3: an FDR in FDR.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Wow, that's a good one. Well how did you take
- 2:14Speaker 2: in Omaha this year?
- 2:15Speaker 4: Because I picked Oklahoma to win it all and placed
- 2:18Speaker 4: the bet on them before and didn't watch. Really, when
- 2:22Speaker 4: did you place the bat before the college was thereas
- 2:25Speaker 4: seventeen plus seventeen hundred man. Yeah, congratulates, well, thank you.
- 2:29Speaker 3: But the funny thing based on nothing, he was just
- 2:31Speaker 3: based off they were playing really well in the Super
- 2:33Speaker 3: Regional and they kind of looked like they were built
- 2:35Speaker 3: for omahall.
- 2:36Speaker 5: But you know, you kind of find that's who wins
- 2:38Speaker 5: is who at the right time is playing hot.
- 2:40Speaker 4: Unless you have like, unless you have like a team
- 2:44Speaker 4: and LSU certainly had it over the last two national championships.
- 2:47Speaker 4: One that has just been a bear all season long.
- 2:50Speaker 4: You're like, Okay, that team's never really you know, had
- 2:53Speaker 4: a slump. They never really had a four game losing
- 2:56Speaker 4: streak like you had that every now and again. But
- 2:58Speaker 4: outside of that, to your point, it's like who's playing
- 3:01Speaker 4: the best at the moment.
- 3:02Speaker 2: It's always how it rolls.
- 3:03Speaker 5: Like you look at Old miss you know, two years
- 3:05Speaker 5: I guess Old Mississippi State twenty two, and then the
- 3:08Speaker 5: year before twenty one. There's some there's always those outliers
- 3:11Speaker 5: that have those just stud teams. It's like LSU twenty three,
- 3:15Speaker 5: you know, Tennessee twenty four or whatever. But the teams
- 3:17Speaker 5: before that, it's like, who's playing right at the right time,
- 3:20Speaker 5: and anybody can win. You just got to be you know,
- 3:22Speaker 5: the right stuff's got to be going on and you
- 3:24Speaker 5: got to get hot.
- 3:24Speaker 2: That's just part of it. You know. They obviously did.
- 3:27Speaker 5: And look that was that was a fun omahaul, you know,
- 3:31Speaker 5: just to I didn't watch all of it, just because
- 3:32Speaker 5: I wasn't too like.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Louisiana from a little background fodder here and there.
- 3:39Speaker 4: It certainly saw some Georgia Texas when when they matched
- 3:43Speaker 4: up in Texas ketchup couldn't do it the first.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Base and right, I mean there was some moments for sure,
- 3:48Speaker 3: but definitely some moments.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Then you get the whole jello shot deal. You know
- 3:51Speaker 2: that kind of went oh yeah, right, yeah, it's very
- 3:56Speaker 2: did anything ever come?
- 3:57Speaker 4: You should have just called you. I know, if anybody
- 3:59Speaker 4: knows how by yellow shots, it's you.
- 4:01Speaker 5: I know, when we thought about doing it, it was
- 4:03Speaker 5: just well he he didn't have a great experience now
- 4:06Speaker 5: with it, and you know, it kind of was like
- 4:08Speaker 5: that a little.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Bit last year.
- 4:09Speaker 5: Obviously we had a good time and that's kind of
- 4:11Speaker 5: where Louisiana loaded and Gordon and I, Yeah, we got
- 4:13Speaker 5: started is you know, going up there and buying a
- 4:16Speaker 5: gazillion jello shots and for everybody.
- 4:19Speaker 3: It kind of brings up a good question because that
- 4:20Speaker 3: made national news. Pat McAfee talking about the jello incident
- 4:24Speaker 3: about how he went there and he, you know, he
- 4:26Speaker 3: had seen all the you know which started by Gordon
- 4:29Speaker 3: and all the jello shots last year and man Lsu
- 4:32Speaker 3: made it famous and all this stuff and then so
- 4:34Speaker 3: it's big national everyone knows of it now. So he
- 4:36Speaker 3: went in there wanted to donate because he donates all
- 4:38Speaker 3: the time, like Maggie is very generating, that's his thing,
- 4:42Speaker 3: and he loves buying drinks for people. So it's like
- 4:43Speaker 3: a combination of both. So in my mind, I hear
- 4:47Speaker 3: the story and I'm like, okay, he gives away half
- 4:48Speaker 3: a million dollars like every day and gave her a
- 4:50Speaker 3: million dollars.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Like the guy's going in there to spend six figures.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever he does, it's gonna it's gonna have a
- 4:56Speaker 3: comment in a big way.
- 4:57Speaker 2: And it's like they told him me. They joked about
- 5:01Speaker 2: him bouncing a check.
- 5:02Speaker 5: And they said, we're gonna taken Garland, Like in your
- 5:05Speaker 5: experience was Gordon's just like a I assume they treated
- 5:09Speaker 5: him very well. So in twenty three when I was
- 5:12Speaker 5: still playing and Gordon did it, it was like the
- 5:14Speaker 5: most fun thing in the world because it was new,
- 5:16Speaker 5: you know, and they didn't know what to do when
- 5:18Speaker 5: Gordon came in there and Todd came in there, and
- 5:20Speaker 5: they bought thousands of shots at once, and they.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Were like, oh, what do we do?
- 5:26Speaker 5: And so they were just handing them out and people
- 5:27Speaker 5: were having a great time and it was all lsu
- 5:30Speaker 5: And then so the next couple of years after that,
- 5:32Speaker 5: it was kind of a little more structured and like
- 5:34Speaker 5: you can only pass like last year, I can only
- 5:36Speaker 5: pass out one hundred and fifty an hour, and all
- 5:39Speaker 5: these different kinds of things.
- 5:40Speaker 2: And they would let people behind the bar.
- 5:42Speaker 5: So it kind of got like not as commercialized, commercialized,
- 5:46Speaker 5: not as fun to where you know, I can see
- 5:49Speaker 5: why they did that, and they wanted him to call before.
- 5:51Speaker 5: But like, if the dude's going in there to spend money,
- 5:54Speaker 5: just let him do it. Yeah, you know, let him
- 5:55Speaker 5: buy a bunch of shit.
- 5:56Speaker 3: He's not going in there, like no amount of money
- 5:59Speaker 3: is insignificant, But like, I'm sure there's a lot of
- 6:02Speaker 3: people that go in there, like I want to buy
- 6:04Speaker 3: a thousand dollars worth of Jela shots are five thousand dollars.
- 6:06Speaker 3: He's going in there, probably going to spend two hundred
- 6:08Speaker 3: grand I think he.
- 6:09Speaker 5: I don't know how many. I'm sure he bought a
- 6:11Speaker 5: couple of thousand yellow shots.
- 6:13Speaker 2: I'm sure he wanted to gain.
- 6:14Speaker 5: Still left the biggest tip I think Rocos had put.
- 6:17Speaker 5: He left the biggest tip Rocos had ever seen. Yeah,
- 6:20Speaker 5: you know, which is awesome and even after his you know,
- 6:22Speaker 5: experience whatever, But that.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Was fun to watch.
- 6:29Speaker 3: Ye the best scenes for me throughout the And again
- 6:32Speaker 3: I'm like you, I watched a little bit. I kept
- 6:34Speaker 3: it on the background. I wanted to stay like up
- 6:35Speaker 3: to date with what was happening. But a West Virginia
- 6:38Speaker 3: making the run and the country roads like thing that
- 6:41Speaker 3: also has taken over the World Cup. Like to me,
- 6:45Speaker 3: it's what makes college sports awesome, It's what makes sports
- 6:49Speaker 3: awesome in general. Like they did it incredibly well, and
- 6:52Speaker 3: it's awesome because it was in West Virginia. And then
- 6:54Speaker 3: the World Cup doesn't like having that song or just
- 6:57Speaker 3: that many people sing together. It just no matter the
- 7:00Speaker 3: if it's two thousand people doing it or ninety thousand
- 7:03Speaker 3: people do it, Like gives you gives you goosebum.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't care who you are. Yeah, you know,
- 7:06Speaker 2: that's just cool. It's just and that's what.
- 7:09Speaker 5: That's what college sports, like you said, is about, you know,
- 7:12Speaker 5: and sports in general. Like even the team that that
- 7:14Speaker 5: West Virginia just beat is probably like, oh, that's that's
- 7:16Speaker 5: pretty sick.
- 7:17Speaker 2: That's pretty sick. Yeah, that's awesome. We're gonna go grab
- 7:19Speaker 2: a dirt and roll home. But there to go bottle
- 7:22Speaker 2: up the old dirt hero no Ma Hall and go.
- 7:24Speaker 5: Home exactly awesome. Yeah, it was, I mean it was cool,
- 7:27Speaker 5: and that's that's why you left. Like college sports is
- 7:30Speaker 5: one of the one of the few things that is
- 7:31Speaker 5: still like super competitive and you can and still find
- 7:35Speaker 5: your you know, you have your team and there's loyalty
- 7:38Speaker 5: around it from a fan base, and it's just a
- 7:41Speaker 5: it's a cool thing and that kind of really displays
- 7:43Speaker 5: it and shows it off.
- 7:44Speaker 2: It's you know, unique.
- 7:46Speaker 4: LSU baseballs right now doing some work in the portal,
- 7:49Speaker 4: and this is you know, compared to last year where
- 7:52Speaker 4: they were literally just wrapping up. I mean they've had
- 7:54Speaker 4: some time and so they've put you know, every resource
- 7:57Speaker 4: in every imaginable minute that they have into the portal
- 8:01Speaker 4: and then also getting players back like Steven Milom. I mean,
- 8:04Speaker 4: you know, our producer Landra, who certainly is one of
- 8:07Speaker 4: our go tos for Baseball News.
- 8:08Speaker 2: I mean she called it a month ago.
- 8:09Speaker 4: She's like, oh yeah, just you know, kind of looking
- 8:12Speaker 4: at who he is as a player and what he's
- 8:14Speaker 4: going to be given if he comes back here and
- 8:16Speaker 4: all those type of things like this could play out,
- 8:18Speaker 4: and it did, and that is just I mean it's massive.
- 8:21Speaker 4: I mean, what he does for you at the play,
- 8:23Speaker 4: but also like.
- 8:24Speaker 5: In the field where you really need him is the field,
- 8:26Speaker 5: you know, and the you know, the guys they recruited,
- 8:29Speaker 5: like you said, they had so much time, you know,
- 8:32Speaker 5: like you're not sitting here literally today starting to recrut yeah,
- 8:36Speaker 5: you know, and so they had all this time to
- 8:38Speaker 5: get who they wanted to go after, who they wanted
- 8:40Speaker 5: to go literally go chase them, and they got the
- 8:43Speaker 5: guys you know, for the most part they.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Wanted, you know, outfield outfielder from Notre Dame.
- 8:47Speaker 5: A couple of different arms, like it's starting to stack up,
- 8:50Speaker 5: and it's it's a dangerous thing when Jay's got time
- 8:53Speaker 5: on his hand, because he's the best recruiter you know,
- 8:56Speaker 5: in the country, and so when he's got time and
- 8:59Speaker 5: he's got the to chase guys and go get them,
- 9:01Speaker 5: it's that's a scary site for for other.
- 9:04Speaker 4: Teams, and it sounds like they're going to have more
- 9:06Speaker 4: fortune and guys not going to the draft to which
- 9:09Speaker 4: is a huge portion of it.
- 9:10Speaker 5: Huge you know, if you look back, like just even
- 9:14Speaker 5: the past five years on the guys that you know,
- 9:16Speaker 5: freshmen that would have been coming in who went to
- 9:18Speaker 5: the draft and hope have been extremely successful kind of
- 9:21Speaker 5: Griffin like Drew Romo, like all these all these guys
- 9:24Speaker 5: that are like what I forget about if these dudes
- 9:27Speaker 5: you know, end up at l s U, like you know,
- 9:29Speaker 5: what happens. And so to have that kind of asset
- 9:33Speaker 5: on the back end, like these guys are coming there,
- 9:34Speaker 5: probably a lot of them are going to come here now,
- 9:37Speaker 5: you know, and and have that three year, two year experience,
- 9:41Speaker 5: that's special.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Yeah, So you talked about like j being really dangerous
- 9:44Speaker 3: with time. We talk about how just messed up college
- 9:48Speaker 3: sports are just year round, the schedule, the calendar. It
- 9:53Speaker 3: obviously hurt us last year and extremely helping us this year.
- 9:57Speaker 3: But the fact that the portal opens with the best
- 10:00Speaker 3: teams in the country still playing is dumb, right, it's
- 10:03Speaker 3: helping us this year, So I'm not complaining right now.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Next year I'll complain because you know it's an odd year.
- 10:08Speaker 2: We'll win. The next change up next year is keep
- 10:10Speaker 2: it on trail. But what do you think of the
- 10:13Speaker 2: what do you think of that calendar?
- 10:14Speaker 3: Like being able to go and sign it almost you
- 10:17Speaker 3: fill your whole roster up while the best teams are
- 10:19Speaker 3: still playing for national channel.
- 10:21Speaker 2: I never liked it.
- 10:22Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just like a thing that's if you're going
- 10:25Speaker 5: to make it like that, like you got.
- 10:27Speaker 2: To make it fair for everybody to wear. And I
- 10:30Speaker 2: don't know how you do it.
- 10:31Speaker 5: I don't know how what the date is or whatever,
- 10:33Speaker 5: you know, where you open the portal? Yeah, probably today
- 10:36Speaker 5: open better be better.
- 10:38Speaker 4: I mean it's still the team like Oklahoma still and
- 10:41Speaker 4: can still be behind the A ball.
- 10:42Speaker 5: But because then then now you've got reports of like, well,
- 10:46Speaker 5: these teams are tampering with the you know whatever kid
- 10:49Speaker 5: and the who's still playing, and like they may be
- 10:52Speaker 5: you know, you don't you wouldn't think that, but I
- 10:54Speaker 5: can't believe that.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Now.
- 10:55Speaker 3: When is some like when is summer baseball, Like when
- 10:58Speaker 3: is it now? Like yeah, like guys will ship Yeah,
- 11:00Speaker 3: like for l s U. You know last year they
- 11:03Speaker 3: had guys that would leave today or tomorrow to go
- 11:05Speaker 3: play you know once.
- 11:06Speaker 2: That Yeah, like Cape Cape Cape Lee Woods. I did not.
- 11:11Speaker 5: I lucked out and never played summer ball. Okay, I
- 11:14Speaker 5: just I was well, yeah, I guess my freshman year
- 11:18Speaker 5: I threw a ton through like forty innings and they're like, eh,
- 11:20Speaker 5: I don't need to. And then the other three the
- 11:23Speaker 5: other two years, it was that is coach encouraged? Yeah
- 11:26Speaker 5: no not Yeah, Okay, you're going is it supposed to
- 11:30Speaker 5: be coach encouraged les are injured or you were a
- 11:32Speaker 5: starter and throwing a ton of innings you don't need
- 11:35Speaker 5: to go.
- 11:35Speaker 3: Is that like one of those like summer workouts for
- 11:37Speaker 3: football guys where it's like voluntary involuntary, yeah type of deal.
- 11:42Speaker 2: One of those things. Yeah, like you don't have to injured.
- 11:46Speaker 5: Look now, it's like, well they have the resources here,
- 11:49Speaker 5: you know, so where they can still work out with
- 11:51Speaker 5: the strength coach here in the summer, which goes a
- 11:53Speaker 5: long way. Yeah, you know, and so you'll get a
- 11:55Speaker 5: lot of guys that'll probably stay back who threw a
- 11:57Speaker 5: lot or played a lot that won't go up to
- 11:59Speaker 5: the cape of the north Woods League or whatever, and
- 12:01Speaker 5: they'll stay back here, get super strong, eat right, do
- 12:04Speaker 5: all those kinds of things around here. But for guys
- 12:06Speaker 5: that you know, a freshman or a sophomore who didn't
- 12:09Speaker 5: have a lot of innings or a lot of time
- 12:10Speaker 5: at the play it at bats or whatever, it's the
- 12:12Speaker 5: great thing. Like you get your at bats against some
- 12:15Speaker 5: of the you know, top talent in the league.
- 12:16Speaker 2: Dude.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Yeah, So I was we were at a family vacation
- 12:20Speaker 3: two maybe three years ago and we went to Cape
- 12:22Speaker 3: Cod for in the summer, and I was like, we
- 12:25Speaker 3: got to go to a baseball game. So we figured
- 12:27Speaker 3: out a baseball game at a time and a place,
- 12:29Speaker 3: and we took the family to one.
- 12:31Speaker 2: It was unbelievable.
- 12:33Speaker 3: It looked like all it looked like a ballpark that
- 12:37Speaker 3: was barely a ballpark, but it was.
- 12:39Speaker 5: In league fields and there's really are like link fence,
- 12:42Speaker 5: there's all that kind of stuff.
- 12:43Speaker 3: There's a huge playground like that butts up to the
- 12:46Speaker 3: to the fence, and like the kids just go play.
- 12:48Speaker 3: There's just people walking around having ice creaming and hot dogs,
- 12:51Speaker 3: like kind of watching the game. Not that you look
- 12:52Speaker 3: over there's but you know, there's a scout that's been
- 12:55Speaker 3: scouting for ninety eight years sitting there hand tracking the
- 12:58Speaker 3: games in the cave.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Now if they live in the cave.
- 13:01Speaker 3: You got fans that are like sitting there right in
- 13:03Speaker 3: the stats and keeping their own scores like it was,
- 13:05Speaker 3: and you're watching the best players in the country play.
- 13:07Speaker 3: It's like, man, this is pretty cool, and like nobody
- 13:10Speaker 3: it's not. It's the most unfussy thing in the world.
- 13:13Speaker 3: It looks like a high school football game where a
- 13:16Speaker 3: parent decided that he's in charge of the hot dogs
- 13:18Speaker 3: and the grill, Like I got it this game, some
- 13:21Speaker 3: other parents got it another game, and then like they're
- 13:23Speaker 3: just doing that that type of sweet cool.
- 13:25Speaker 2: I've been up there a few times and it sounds
- 13:29Speaker 2: and that's cool. I always love the wood bat.
- 13:31Speaker 5: The wood bat summer leagues, and then it's just baseball, man.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Summer baseball.
- 13:37Speaker 4: Else she's probably actually got an they all talking about,
- 13:39Speaker 4: kind of like what you're looking for. They had some
- 13:41Speaker 4: of those freshmen that played at the end of last
- 13:43Speaker 4: year that didn't get a ton of bit bats, but
- 13:46Speaker 4: they got you know, some because Jay's like, I'm going
- 13:49Speaker 4: to get ready for next year. I'm going to give
- 13:51Speaker 4: them some experience like that. Feels like that would be
- 13:53Speaker 4: the perfect scene. That's a perfect guy to go there.
- 13:56Speaker 4: Or even a guy who had four bats. You know,
- 13:59Speaker 4: you have a lot of guys who they'll pinch run
- 14:01Speaker 4: and get four at bats.
- 14:02Speaker 5: Yeah, twenty to nothing game, But for them to go
- 14:05Speaker 5: get at bats and try to you know, come back
- 14:07Speaker 5: in the fall and make the team again. You know,
- 14:09Speaker 5: it's just you're trying out again, you know, every year,
- 14:13Speaker 5: every year on a team like that, you know, because
- 14:14Speaker 5: you're getting got tons of guys that come in freshman transfers,
- 14:17Speaker 5: all these talented kids coming in, you're trying out again.
- 14:22Speaker 5: So for those guys to have the opportunity to go
- 14:24Speaker 5: up to the to a league to face some good
- 14:26Speaker 5: talent is you know, a good thing. It's great for
- 14:30Speaker 5: those kids and for LSU. It's like, why would you
- 14:33Speaker 5: not do that? You know, as a player, why would
- 14:35Speaker 5: you not send kids up there? You have to.
- 14:38Speaker 3: I know we're gonna you're gonna stick with us here
- 14:40Speaker 3: for a little while in this this hour which we're fired.
- 14:42Speaker 3: Tell us a little bit about like this space right here.

- 14:59Speaker 5: You've got a green screen, you've got a million different
- 15:01Speaker 5: things you can do. And the cool thing about it

- 16:53Speaker 4: you're listening, Matt's thighs are all up on your seat

- 19:26Speaker 4: Will we were talking about the College World Series. We're
- 19:28Speaker 4: talking about LSU and what they've done so far in
- 19:31Speaker 4: the portal and as like, as we all know, like
- 19:34Speaker 4: the expectations for LSU baseball are always going to be
- 19:37Speaker 4: incredibly high, and for some reason as high as they
- 19:39Speaker 4: were this year, like start out number one or number two,
- 19:42Speaker 4: depending on where you look in the country. It does
- 19:44Speaker 4: feel like the expectations for this season, because you didn't
- 19:47Speaker 4: make the postseason, are going to be at an all
- 19:49Speaker 4: time high.
- 19:50Speaker 2: Somehow they're even higher.
- 19:51Speaker 3: It's crazy because like typically be like well number one
- 19:54Speaker 3: in the preseason, they should be the highest. It's like,
- 19:56Speaker 3: I bet actually this year, even though they didn't make
- 19:58Speaker 3: the postseasons going to be worse.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a typical. You can play at LSU got
- 20:06Speaker 2: to win.
- 20:07Speaker 3: It's funny, how like how short amount of time Jay's
- 20:12Speaker 3: Bennett LSU and like, when you really look at it,
- 20:16Speaker 3: all the success you've done, all the skits thats you've had, right,
- 20:18Speaker 3: and it's you have a four LSU standard, a really
- 20:23Speaker 3: bad year for LSU standard, a really bad year after
- 20:27Speaker 3: being having all these preseason accolades and for being here
- 20:32Speaker 3: such a short time. LSU fans are just like, eah,
- 20:36Speaker 3: we'll be back, We'll get him next year. He's earned
- 20:38Speaker 3: that trust so fast, which is so exting. Everything he's
- 20:41Speaker 3: done is incredibly hard to do. Obviously, two national championships
- 20:45Speaker 3: and what four years, yeah, five years. It's like, it's
- 20:49Speaker 3: just incredible you've gained that much confidence that after to
- 20:52Speaker 3: the standard really bad year, Everyone's like, oh, wait till
- 20:56Speaker 3: next year, buddy, just wait till next year, which is
- 20:58Speaker 3: to your.
- 20:58Speaker 2: Question, is going as did you.
- 21:00Speaker 3: Should probably add a lot of pressure, But my god,
- 21:03Speaker 3: just like you said, he's got a month head start
- 21:05Speaker 3: on everybody in recruiting.
- 21:06Speaker 2: You know what, the pressure is a privilege, yeah, you know.
- 21:10Speaker 5: And I think that that's how Jay feels like he
- 21:13Speaker 5: loves it. You know, he loves the whole recruiting and
- 21:16Speaker 5: the pressure on him being you know, having having to win.
- 21:21Speaker 5: You know, he loves winning, like that's his just bread
- 21:23Speaker 5: and butter. You know he hates losing. Yeahs, It's like,
- 21:26Speaker 5: what do you I hate losing a lot of times
- 21:29Speaker 5: you can get pre postgame huddle it's like I hate losing,
- 21:32Speaker 5: blah whatever. And uh, for him to have that pressure
- 21:36Speaker 5: on him again, I think he's kind of he's excited
- 21:38Speaker 5: and look he's got you know, like you said, miheleam
- 21:41Speaker 5: coming back like he's got pieces to the puzzle right
- 21:43Speaker 5: now where I'm sure he feels like he's in a
- 21:45Speaker 5: good spot. You know, but you really, you know, an
- 21:48Speaker 5: interesting thing about you don't really baseball is like you
- 21:50Speaker 5: don't really know what you're going to get. You know,
- 21:53Speaker 5: you know that preseason whatever, yea, you know those you know,
- 21:56Speaker 5: you don't know how those guys are going to perform
- 21:57Speaker 5: like you saw it.
- 21:58Speaker 2: This year, you get a lot of guys, guys who you.
- 22:01Speaker 5: Know, you thought were going to be these super uber
- 22:03Speaker 5: talented guys and it just doesn't pan out like you
- 22:06Speaker 5: liked them too. And that and that's the chance that
- 22:08Speaker 5: you take in the portal.
- 22:09Speaker 3: A little bit, especially when you don't have time like year,
- 22:13Speaker 3: like you're trying to throw it, you really are trying
- 22:15Speaker 3: to throw it together a little bit. And I don't
- 22:16Speaker 3: want to say this because I know how how Jay
- 22:18Speaker 3: is and he's so attention to detail, but you probably
- 22:22Speaker 3: had to rely more on I don't want to say
- 22:24Speaker 3: stats watching, like box score watching, but a little bit
- 22:27Speaker 3: of it, like, Okay, this guy hit this amount of
- 22:29Speaker 3: home runs, this amount of RBIs this league, this is
- 22:31Speaker 3: what we think of that league, And you have to
- 22:33Speaker 3: do that and you don't have a chance to really
- 22:35Speaker 3: do a deep dive.
- 22:35Speaker 4: Okay, well, how does he fit into our league? How
- 22:37Speaker 4: does he fit into our team? How does he fit
- 22:39Speaker 4: in our lineup or our rotation? Because last year you
- 22:42Speaker 4: didn't have time, so you're going off base. You know
- 22:44Speaker 4: what they did at their previous stop, and every stops can.
- 22:46Speaker 2: To be different. It's on.
- 22:47Speaker 5: It's you pick up the guys with the best stats.
- 22:49Speaker 5: You pick up the guys who are the best right
- 22:52Speaker 5: now in the portal. Right you know, when he had
- 22:54Speaker 5: the opportunity last year to get him was now, and
- 22:57Speaker 5: so the selections a little limited at this point, you know,
- 23:01Speaker 5: for the most part. And now he's got time and
- 23:03Speaker 5: he's had a chance to really deep dive into it
- 23:06Speaker 5: and watch these guys and go back and watch film
- 23:08Speaker 5: against how they you know, perform against the lefty throwing
- 23:12Speaker 5: ninety four to ninety six with you know, forty four
- 23:14Speaker 5: you know, inches of induced vertical break, whatever it is.
- 23:18Speaker 5: He's had a chance to look into that and dive
- 23:20Speaker 5: into it a little bit, so he kind of knows
- 23:21Speaker 5: what he's getting and how they're going to perform against
- 23:24Speaker 5: better talent, you know. And that's that's the name of
- 23:27Speaker 5: the game, you know, the best talents in the SEC.
- 23:29Speaker 5: And to get back to Omaha, you got to grind
- 23:32Speaker 5: your way through the SEC. That's the only way to
- 23:34Speaker 5: do it. You have to have you know, you got
- 23:35Speaker 5: to be a got to be a fifteen win team,
- 23:38Speaker 5: you know. And you know, look Oklahoma's fourteen wins, you know,
- 23:42Speaker 5: a series l shoot exactly, you know. So that's you know,
- 23:45Speaker 5: I always say baseball's crazy and all, but for him
- 23:48Speaker 5: to have the time and really dive in, I think
- 23:50Speaker 5: is going to be you know, a real thing, you know.
- 23:54Speaker 5: And so you know, I think they're they're probably gonna,
- 23:57Speaker 5: you know, for when they do go back to you know,
- 23:59Speaker 5: the national championship this year and win it in twenty seven, Yep,
- 24:03Speaker 5: they're gonna. I think they're going to find a role
- 24:05Speaker 5: for somebody. I think they've this is public, you know,
- 24:08Speaker 5: for somebody to come in while they're in Omaha to recruit. Yeah,
- 24:12Speaker 5: you know, and I think they had said that. It's like,
- 24:14Speaker 5: you have to got it down, you do.
- 24:15Speaker 2: You have to.
- 24:16Speaker 5: You got to have somebody good that's going to go
- 24:18Speaker 5: out there and get kids while you're winning.
- 24:20Speaker 2: You think. I think, Uh, coach O be good for baseball.
- 24:24Speaker 4: Yeah, he's gonna do it for football. Why not I
- 24:28Speaker 4: do it for all the sports. Add a little bit
- 24:30Speaker 4: of money to the salary. Yeah, just give him another
- 24:32Speaker 4: one hundred grand he'll be all right, Yeah, he'd be fine.
- 24:35Speaker 2: What is Jay?
- 24:37Speaker 3: He'd be oh yeah, boy, yeah boy yeahbo Yeah.
- 24:44Speaker 2: What does Jay do to let his hair down? How
- 24:47Speaker 2: does he relax?
- 24:49Speaker 3: Well, it's funny that we're still searching for that. Sure,
- 24:55Speaker 3: that's the thing, coach, I really don't know that it is. No,
- 24:59Speaker 3: it's really not. And that's a genuine answer. There is
- 25:01Speaker 3: no relaxation, I really that's it's it's a job, that's
- 25:07Speaker 3: his hobby. He doesn't have kids. He has the best
- 25:10Speaker 3: wife in the world, like she is the most amazing person,
- 25:14Speaker 3: and his kids are this his team, team no pets,
- 25:19Speaker 3: you know, like, like seriously, he doesn't have anything but baseball.
- 25:22Speaker 5: Nothing, no, nothing, nothing, like you know, he'll go home,
- 25:29Speaker 5: you know, we lose a tough series or whatever, come
- 25:31Speaker 5: back on Monday, you know, for for workouts or whatever. Man,
- 25:37Speaker 5: I just spent Sunday night staring at the moon drinking
- 25:40Speaker 5: orange juice.
- 25:44Speaker 3: I don't want to lose again. Sounds sad. He's not
- 25:48Speaker 3: even drinking a beer. That sounds really doesn't drink.
- 25:53Speaker 5: No kids, no pets, Like baseball is his life.
- 25:56Speaker 2: I love every conversation I've ever had with them. On
- 25:59Speaker 2: a guy, he's the best. It's been fantastic.
- 26:02Speaker 3: And uh, well, he has a little bit of Coach
- 26:04Speaker 3: Saban in him, and I know that's somebody that he
- 26:07Speaker 3: looks up to in the coaching world. He talks about
- 26:09Speaker 3: him often because Coach Saban always felt that way too.
- 26:13Speaker 3: And the coach daven had a family and he had
- 26:14Speaker 3: Miss Terry, and the whole time was still like to
- 26:16Speaker 3: go like a lake trip.
- 26:17Speaker 2: Yeah he was.
- 26:18Speaker 4: He was bringing players, he would yeah, yeah, he would
- 26:21Speaker 4: bring his players are fishing players.
- 26:23Speaker 2: He brings some of us to go fishing as well.
- 26:26Speaker 2: But man, it was it was ninety five percent of
- 26:29Speaker 2: the time it was.
- 26:30Speaker 4: About LSU football or Alabama football later in his career,
- 26:33Speaker 4: just like Jay, And it might even be ninety eight.
- 26:36Speaker 3: Percent for j LSU baseball. Yeah, I think I don't
- 26:38Speaker 3: think that he does let his hair down. No to
- 26:41Speaker 3: your question, Matt, I don't think so. I knew the answer, yeah,
- 26:44Speaker 3: which is that's what you want. Man.
- 26:46Speaker 5: You know, if you're a fan and you know, a
- 26:49Speaker 5: subscriber of LSU baseball, Yeah, that's what you want.
- 26:53Speaker 3: And that's you know, and it helps, like all things recruiting,
- 26:56Speaker 3: it helps when I think most people are pretty smart.
- 26:59Speaker 3: Most people have intuition, Like this guy's bsing me, like
- 27:03Speaker 3: there's a whether you're genuine, good guy, bad guy, whatever
- 27:07Speaker 3: it is. Being genuine wins you over most of the time.
- 27:11Speaker 2: I think.
- 27:12Speaker 3: I think I think people are smarter than you give
- 27:14Speaker 3: him credit for. And the alarm like it certainly does
- 27:16Speaker 3: to me. Like I own a business, people try to
- 27:18Speaker 3: sell me stuff all the time, like like my alarm
- 27:20Speaker 3: bells GoF Like this guy is not genuine saying that, right,
- 27:22Speaker 3: but like when he like when he talks about it,
- 27:25Speaker 3: he lives that life and he's very genuine about it.
- 27:29Speaker 3: So like that helps like, now they got to identify
- 27:32Speaker 3: the right people. But I think when Jay identifies it,
- 27:35Speaker 3: his the the genuine is that he has plus the
- 27:39Speaker 3: LSU resources, plus the LSU history, plus the two rings
- 27:42Speaker 3: on his finger that's say LSU on it, Like he
- 27:44Speaker 3: should be able to get anybody he wants.
- 27:46Speaker 2: Yeah, and he will.
- 27:47Speaker 5: And you know, I've I had a chance, like right
- 27:50Speaker 5: after I graduated to do a bunch of these recruiting
- 27:52Speaker 5: visits and all these recruits come in and do dinners
- 27:55Speaker 5: with the families, and just watching him go about it,
- 27:58Speaker 5: it's like it's it's on another level, you know, it's
- 28:02Speaker 5: and it's hard to like describe or put words on it.
- 28:05Speaker 5: It's just the way he goes about it and treats
- 28:07Speaker 5: these families and these kids. It's like, look, they know
- 28:09Speaker 5: what they're getting, you know from him the moment they
- 28:13Speaker 5: mean what you get? Yeah, it's you know, and there's
- 28:16Speaker 5: there is like you said, there's something about that that
- 28:18Speaker 5: makes you have this trust in him.
- 28:20Speaker 3: Think about coaches though, like usually when you say what
- 28:24Speaker 3: you see is what you get, it's kind of in
- 28:26Speaker 3: a bad way, right right, That's the truth. How many
- 28:29Speaker 3: successful coaches in any at a higher level, at any sport.
- 28:33Speaker 3: Can you be like, man, that guy is just genuine
- 28:36Speaker 3: as can be, because there's a salesman that most people
- 28:40Speaker 3: and that is not a salesman.
- 28:41Speaker 2: No, that is him.
- 28:42Speaker 5: That's a real deal, holy Field. You know it's And
- 28:46Speaker 5: that's how he is as a coach too. You know
- 28:48Speaker 5: who you who you talk to on air and who
- 28:50Speaker 5: you you know see the postgame interviews and press conferences
- 28:54Speaker 5: and all these different things. That's how he is as
- 28:56Speaker 5: a coach too. Like there aren't no bs in his
- 28:59Speaker 5: way around nothing. It's just the way he rolls, is
- 29:02Speaker 5: the way he operates. It's it's it's special.
- 29:06Speaker 2: It really is.
- 29:06Speaker 4: Well before U before it takes break and let you go.
- 29:09Speaker 4: And it's been Uh, it's been cool to be on
- 29:11Speaker 4: your turf this time. I don't know if we've talked
- 29:14Speaker 4: since them. But don't be intimidated by the forty seven

- 29:33Speaker 5: if it's hard. I'm gonna throw a strike. Right, I'm
- 29:36Speaker 5: not gonna bounce it. So I go up there and
- 29:39Speaker 5: it was great, throw it, boom, here we go. Yeah,
- 29:41Speaker 5: like a little slow pitch softball.
- 29:43Speaker 2: Yeah. And so but my my ten year old son
- 29:46Speaker 2: was out there with me. We came.
- 29:48Speaker 4: We had just come from Zachary, he had a Friday
- 29:51Speaker 4: night tournament. We booked it over to the box and
- 29:53Speaker 4: we get there and I'm like, hey, do you want

- 30:37Speaker 3: That's hard to throw baseball with those big hands. How
- 30:39Speaker 3: do you control over that? Can you imagine the spin
- 30:42Speaker 3: you could have created? When I say my fingers were
- 30:45Speaker 3: very loosely on the seams because I didn't want to
- 30:47Speaker 3: choke it.
- 30:48Speaker 4: The last thing I wanted to do was it just boom?

- 35:37Speaker 3: Hey, brother, brother, can you throw it in the back there?
- 35:41Speaker 2: See?
- 35:41Speaker 3: I can do that now because I'm a truck guy,
- 35:43Speaker 3: because you're a truck. That's pretty cool truck. Not to
- 35:46Speaker 3: mention you, and now you can start backing up into
- 35:48Speaker 3: parking spots even when it says do not back into
- 35:51Speaker 3: parking spots. Sure, they didn't do us here at the Grouse.
- 35:53Speaker 2: They didn't mean it. They don't mean it. It doesn't
- 35:57Speaker 2: make any sense. I'll give you this. I'll give you this.
- 36:02Speaker 4: You do have a very large truck, yes, and I
- 36:05Speaker 4: could see how in some cases, in a smaller parking
- 36:08Speaker 4: lot it would be easier for you. But if you
- 36:11Speaker 4: do it, just make sure nobody's behind you, because then
- 36:13Speaker 4: you're the a hole. Sure when you pass by the
- 36:16Speaker 4: spot and then you put on the brake lights.
- 36:18Speaker 2: Yep.
- 36:18Speaker 3: I was thinking about this earlier and I kind of
- 36:21Speaker 3: mentioned too and mention it to you earlier in the
- 36:23Speaker 3: show on break. But like when you go to driving school,
- 36:28Speaker 3: you're fifteen years old, you're ready to get your license,
- 36:30Speaker 3: you're excited about it. There's a lot of things they
- 36:34Speaker 3: teach you about the rules and regulations. There's a few
- 36:36Speaker 3: things they teach about, like physically drive a ten in two,
- 36:39Speaker 3: you know, check your mirrors, do all this and that.
- 36:41Speaker 3: There's something very specific they teach you in driving school,
- 36:45Speaker 3: which is how to parallel park. Parallel park. They teach
- 36:48Speaker 3: you one thing about parking, and it's the parallel park.
- 36:51Speaker 3: And how do you start out every parallel park. Well,
- 36:53Speaker 3: you pull up and you reverse in first and then
- 36:57Speaker 3: straight up because you have more turning capability, more control,
- 37:02Speaker 3: and it's a lot easier because of everyone's front wheel drive.
- 37:05Speaker 2: That's how it works. That is the best way to do.
- 37:07Speaker 3: It's the most efficient way to park, according to every
- 37:10Speaker 3: driving teacher ever. Yeah, but you're not parallel park. Can
- 37:13Speaker 3: you just think about it straight? Just think about it, Cassie,
- 37:16Speaker 3: you're smiling because you thinks you're an idiot, like I do.
- 37:20Speaker 2: I am.
- 37:21Speaker 3: I'm also an idiot because my wife said, no, dummy,
- 37:24Speaker 3: we don't need a mini mouse water slide.
- 37:25Speaker 4: We need a big water slide for all the older siblings. Uh,
- 37:30Speaker 4: that's not so not many mouse is a big boy. Hey, hey,
- 37:33Speaker 4: Brendan Soresby, watch this mad chess tap.
- 37:36Speaker 2: That's me.
- 37:36Speaker 3: He's taking accountability for his accents, not making somebody else to.
- 37:40Speaker 3: He ain't gonna sue the water slide company right now,
- 37:43Speaker 3: taken accountable. I'm just gonna say, hey, I need I
- 37:45Speaker 3: need a really big water So you're not going to
- 37:46Speaker 3: sue many mouse, So hit me ain't going to happen
- 37:49Speaker 3: at Jacobester or eighteen. You might have the same success
- 37:52Speaker 3: suing Disney, then they will have to sue in the NFL.
- 37:55Speaker 4: So true, I got a better chance of winning against
- 37:58Speaker 4: the mouse than Brendan sores he does against a shield.
- 38:03Speaker 3: Ye, good luck, poor guy. You hope you get the help.
- 38:08Speaker 3: I think my computer just tackled your computer.
