Travel Fatigue, Bad Announcers, and Hope · Spiders Sound Off

0:06
Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of Spider Sound.
0:10
OP, this is Tom. And this is Porter.
0:13
And hey, yesterday the women and men both went one and O talking
0:19
about the men's baseball team that beat James Madison 9:00 to
0:23
5:00. And the women's swimming and
0:26
diving team opened up the Atlantic 10 championships with
0:30
A2 podium finishes. We got a gold medal in the 200
0:34
medley relay and we broke our school record what set in 2023.
0:40
So shout out to the relay team. I'll probably get this these
0:43
names all wrong, but Hannah was Sorschik Presley Baber, Elena
0:48
Amare and Julia Krychev. How about that lacrosse team?
0:51
Oh, and then yes, we got a Was it right they five in the nation
0:54
now? You know, I got a good buddy.
0:57
Well, before you get there, I just like how we're what we've
0:59
been asked. You can talk about other sports
1:00
were like no. And then we're like, oh boy,
1:02
yeah, this is our first, our first week where the teams went.
1:06
Oh, and three in between pods. It's a great day if you're
1:09
watching us online. You see my Gray shirt.
1:11
I don't break out the Gray very often.
1:12
It's. So well I grew up in a lacrosse
1:14
town so I had a buddies mind who were soccer players but better
1:18
lacrosse players and went D1 places.
1:20
But you've got a story I. Do I was just talking to my good
1:23
buddy Bill who I he worked with me for 3030 or so years up in
1:27
Northern Virginia and he's a huge lacrosse guy and I.
1:31
I do you remember Mr. Bill, by the way, the old SNL skit?
1:33
I do not. The little clay guy who would
1:35
get run over. Yeah, that clay guy.
1:37
Ever. And we're calling Mr. Bill Go.
1:38
Ahead so Mr. Bill is big lacrosse guy.
1:41
He played lacrosse at Villanova way back in the day.
1:43
Anyway, so I was just saying, saying, hey, I need a couple
1:46
sound bites because I don't want to talk basketball today, so
1:48
give me something about lacrosse.
1:49
And he said, first of all, years and years ago when we first
1:53
hired the Chamati guy. And again, I know nothing about
1:56
lacrosse. The Chamati guy, I'm just going.
1:57
To call him the Chamati guy, right when we called hired the
2:00
Chamati guy, he said to me, I remember we were sitting in the
2:03
office. He said that's one of the best
2:04
hires he's ever seen in lacrosse.
2:05
And I didn't think much about it because I don't think about
2:07
lacrosse. But anyway, 12 years later,
2:08
however long it's been, you got this, this unbelievable coach in
2:12
lacrosse and he's doing great things.
2:13
And Bill's hot button, hot take for me today was we probably
2:17
have a Final Four team on her hand, which is just a super
2:20
exciting to hear. So they're asked to the lacrosse
2:22
Yeah, there was a podcast I saw that was about lacrosse.
2:25
It was some like national lacrosse guy who came to
2:28
Richmond. He was doing like a tour of and
2:30
went had one of our players take him through.
2:33
And this was probably 3 months ago, but it's very interesting
2:36
the the interviewer, it was very, it was entertaining.
2:39
The lacrosse guy and some of his buddies at Ronald were very
2:42
entertaining as well. But he asked him like, so is
2:44
Richard a basketball school or lacrosse school?
2:46
And of course the lacrosse player said it's a lacrosse
2:48
school. Maybe we're we'll see that
2:51
transition if we can be top ten. I know we've been kind of top 20
2:55
almost every year and often go to the NCAA is because we win
2:59
the A10 championship, but it'd be great if we could then you
3:04
know, get to that top ten status and always be sometimes we are
3:07
favored. I think playing UVA so it's this
3:11
is a great. Team lost by 1 to Cornell twice
3:13
last year Cornell was the national championship.
3:14
They didn't lose. Cornell didn't lose by 1 to many
3:17
people if I recall last year or sorry, didn't beat too many team
3:20
people by just one goal. So again, we're we're pretty
3:24
impressive in lacrosse and I think it's worth us shouting out
3:26
a few minutes here on this pod to talk about the success that
3:29
program is having because, you know, we want to see a national
3:32
championship and we might just have a national championship
3:33
team. It just happens to be in
3:35
lacrosse. Yep, let's talk about what
3:39
happened to this ladies team and the offense.
3:41
Where did it go? So it pretty much didn't exist
3:45
against George Mason. That George Mason, it didn't
3:48
exist for 3/4 at GW and that was a a quad four loss.
3:54
I have a. At GWI have a theory?
3:56
What's your theory? OK.
3:58
So I don't know you probably you never really travelled much for
4:01
a career. You were always sitting at a
4:02
desk behind. Pretty much so.
4:04
I spent a lot of time on the road, a lot of time on the road,
4:06
and I was thinking back to my early 20s when I was on the road
4:09
quite a bit. There's a difference between
4:11
flying out for a meeting in one city, conducting the meeting or
4:15
meetings and then flying back home than what the ladies just
4:19
went through. The ladies had to presumably fly
4:22
to Charlotte, play a basketball game, which is very much in
4:24
their normal routine. Then they either stayed
4:26
overnight in Charlotte or they caught a night flight to DC.
4:29
Second, they're traveling from city one to City 2, neither our
4:33
home, right? They have an overnight in DC,
4:36
then they play a game two days after.
4:38
So you're already dealing with a 48 hour compressed schedule, but
4:41
you now are dealing with Rd. travel.
4:42
That's unusual. Then you probably stayed in DC
4:45
for another night to play the next game against George
4:48
Washington, right? So it's a very different travel
4:50
motion. Now let me let me tell you why I
4:51
say that I went to Thailand in 2019 with the wife.
4:55
The wife's in much better shape than I am, as you know, right?
4:58
She's just in really good shape. But I, I had to spend a career
5:01
travelling the world, travelling all over the place.
5:04
And so the 21 hours of flight time through Dubai, shout out to
5:06
our Dubai listeners by the way, you guys are making moving up
5:09
their rankings rapidly. I'm like who's?
5:11
The number. Are we the number one spiders
5:12
podcast in Dubai? Who's listening to us in Dubai?
5:15
But we're moving. Up.
5:15
We're moving up. Keep going.
5:16
Anyway, so we flew through Dubai and then we went on to Thailand
5:20
and it was a 21 hour and 21 hours in the air.
5:22
We were only in Thailand for four days.
5:24
It was a company trip. So I say that because I was
5:27
actually completely good as soon as we landed in Thailand to do
5:30
my thing because I'm so used to travel and I'm 6 foot 6 and I'm
5:32
used to travel. So like I dealt with the plane,
5:35
it was fine. My wife is in great shape, was
5:37
not used to flight, air travel. She had a really hard time
5:40
adjusting to the conditions because you know, if you're not
5:42
used to travel and travel and staying in different places, it
5:45
wears you out and there's a certain thing that wears you
5:47
out. And we looked worn out for both.
5:49
To those games, that's all I'll say.
5:50
Well, while O and two is disappointing, well, at least
5:55
what was it 6 months ago we beat Virginia Tech in a secret
5:58
scrimmage. That's that's one Porter likes
6:01
bringing up. Is like something that was.
6:02
Important. Well, look, here's the thing
6:03
too. Let me give you another another
6:04
nugget. So we're 42 in the net.
6:06
So I know everybody's saying we're off now the at large
6:08
bubble, we're not. Going to well and Rhode Island
6:10
lost 2. They had their own quad four
6:12
loss. And they're 46 in the net, Yeah.
6:14
So we're still both top 50. Do I, am I predicting in that
6:17
large bid after the two losses? No, but it is still a
6:20
possibility depending on everything else that happens
6:22
between now and the end of the conference tournament across all
6:25
the different conferences. So it's not a done deal, it's
6:28
not a 50 plus percenter, but it's not a done deal that we
6:31
could get in that large. Yeah, I think if we, I mean that
6:34
outside chances, we win the rest of our games and then lose in
6:36
the finals to either probably Rhode Island or to George Mason
6:41
or someone who's, you know, maybe Davidson, someone who at
6:44
least is, you know, top 75 and and we can be the second team in
6:50
because we that would include us beating Rhode Island.
6:53
Yeah, I would think, I would think it would need to go like
6:55
this. We'd have to win the rest of our
6:56
games, win the 1st 2 conference games against at least one good
6:59
team, right? And then in the final, you lose
7:02
by a point or two to look, I think it needs to be Rhode
7:04
Island in the final if you're going to have a shot.
7:06
And then I even if all that happens, I think we're still
7:08
like a 20% chance for now, but I don't think it's a 50.
7:10
Percent. Well, the one thing I'll talk, I
7:12
mean, there wasn't much to really talk about in the George
7:13
Mason game. Like we just never got going.
7:16
Like we did have a great fourth quarter last night and, you
7:20
know, unfortunately overtime didn't work out.
7:21
But I will say like the one thing that I thought would be
7:25
more of an impact and I'll, you know, this is obviously a
7:29
coach's decision, but there was a point in time, I think in the
7:31
third, maybe it was the second maybe 2 times.
7:33
Anisha Scott came in and she was great, like confident.
7:37
She had that, you know, basket to the lane.
7:39
She had a great pass. And I was like, we, we're such a
7:42
dud everywhere else. Like in my head, it was like she
7:45
ought to, she ought to play a lot in the later on this game.
7:49
Mason or Washington? No.
7:50
George Washington. OK, yeah, there's nothing to
7:52
talk about. George Mason.
7:53
We all stunk. I.
7:53
Think I, I would say Anisha Shock gave us a nice lift.
7:56
It was nothing in the third period.
7:57
She was actually showing some stuff.
7:58
Here's what happened in the George Washington game.
8:00
I actually have and I, I know exactly what went wrong.
8:03
OK, the game started at 6:00 PM Eastern Time.
8:06
The team was in Adams Morgan until 7:30.
8:10
Then they finally showed up at 7:30 PM and played 30 minutes a
8:12
game. Because the 1st 90 minutes of
8:14
that game, the first 3 periods were not Spider women's
8:16
basketball. They were not.
8:17
They just were something completely else.
8:20
I don't know what to make of it. It was just not Spider women's
8:23
basketball. Yeah, I mean that again, just it
8:26
was just weird to me that I think it was in the 3rd and Isha
8:29
looked good. Ava came in at some point hit a
8:32
three and I'm like these two look like they have energy and
8:37
everybody else looks like like, you know, they're travelling to
8:40
Thailand in a long flight. And so in my head I was like,
8:43
whoa, it's going to be interesting when we get to the
8:45
next quarter, are we going to see a couple kind of regulars
8:49
not playing because these two look like they're ready to go.
8:51
And sure, if they went O and three and the fourth would be
8:54
like, OK, well, that's not working.
8:56
But I was just surprised he didn't go back to that because
8:59
that team, like, I mean, we were finding, I mean, Rachel, while
9:03
she hasn't shot well, there are points in times where she was
9:06
just not shooting either. Like she'd have an open 3.
9:09
But when you go 2 for eight, at some point it was like, well,
9:11
I'll kick it over to Sam and like we are just out of sort.
9:15
So that's the one disappointment I have.
9:17
I think there was a, the coach has talked about this Bench is
9:19
going to be playing more and needing to play more, but he got
9:22
into the 4th and was like, I'm going with my starting 5.
9:24
The starting five had a great fourth.
9:26
They looked like spider ball again.
9:28
And that was that was encouraging.
9:29
So maybe we get through this little 2 game stint of terrible
9:33
and, and look, George Mason is, is a tough game no matter what
9:35
at George Mason. So I don't, I don't, I don't
9:38
blame the ladies for losing that game.
9:39
That's going to always be a tough one.
9:40
The George Washington games, a game you got to win and you
9:43
should have won by 20. And honestly, we missed it
9:45
seemed like in the first half, every layup we took, every three
9:48
pointer clanked. I think we were two for 22, our
9:50
first 22 three pointers in that game.
9:52
It just was a weird game. Now what about?
9:54
Your other theory? Which is.
9:56
Someone who was at both of those.
9:57
Games. Oh, yes.
9:59
OK, so you saw the pictures that I texted you.
10:01
OK, so I'm watching the TV broadcast on both games and you
10:05
know, we have a 2 avid listeners to our podcast that are based in
10:08
Vienna. They're they're, we'll just call
10:11
them R&J. Well, well, we've mentioned D
10:13
Hall before, because the whole possum.
10:15
Story I know if you want to call D Hall.
10:16
Out public, I'm calling D Hall out.
10:18
OK, so D Hall and his lovely wife.
10:20
He's a 93 spider like us. Attended both games in person.
10:23
They're both prominently featured on the camera, right?
10:26
Because they're wearing the red behind the bench.
10:28
Not far, not too far back. And at one point in time, I just
10:31
I took a picture of them on the TV and I circled them with a
10:35
with a little marker and I sent it out to our friend group
10:37
saying I think we've got the Vienna Voodoo working for both
10:40
of these games because, yeah, the D Hall has brought the jinx
10:44
on. But he has been in in Richmond
10:46
to watch display and we've won with him.
10:47
And that's right. So can't totally blame him.
10:49
But on our way game, D Hall wearing red.
10:52
Yeah, don't, don't go to the Henrico.
10:53
Hey, D Hall, next season you're banned from George Mason and
10:57
George Washington. Just bands.
10:59
You got to take a year. We tell him not to come to
11:00
Henrico for the tournament. No, no, no.
11:02
You can come to Henrico. OK.
11:03
So you're still in on the Henrico?
11:04
Yeah. OK, before we get into the man,
11:07
I had this great podcast idea. We're not going to do this now,
11:11
but it's inspired by, I don't know if you saw the story,
11:14
Danica Mason, who is covering the Olympics for Australia.
11:21
She was drunk on the air. Yeah, I was slurring words.
11:26
Was going in like a direction that was kind of odd.
11:28
They blame the cold. She has since apologized.
11:31
And I'm like, why apologize? That's good content.
11:34
Yeah. And maybe we need to do at some
11:37
point if this season keeps spiraling down.
11:39
Do we need to do a drunk episode?
11:41
Do. A Falcon Smash episode.
11:42
Yeah, just some episode of if we.
11:45
We're desperate for content that's that's one way we.
11:48
Yeah, we had no guests today folks and we went O and three.
11:50
So there's only so much we can talk about.
11:52
I will say this, let me give you a couple things that were good.
11:56
I mean. You're talking to the men's game
11:57
now, the women. 'S game Alicia had threw us 5
11:59
offensive rebounds. Defensively, we looked OK
12:02
against both teams, so the defense wasn't the problem.
12:05
It was the offense of both games.
12:07
Still 42 in the net. I, I don't think it's they're
12:10
fatal. We can, I mean, obviously
12:12
winning the 18 tournament still the preferred way of getting in,
12:14
but like you know, our margin for error is.
12:17
Yeah, we've talked enough about the O 4/2.
12:21
So are the men's news. If you haven't seen it, sounds
12:23
like Beagle might be out for the year.
12:25
Broke his finger hitting the backboard in the VCU game.
12:29
He continued to play, but he's got that all kind of wrapped up.
12:32
I don't think the school has declared him out for the year,
12:34
but I think some someone did on Twitter.
12:39
But this is another game where we got down early again, like
12:42
the good news, we've had three games in a row where we've
12:45
looked at the end of the game in the second-half like we
12:48
competed. These haven't been like blow out
12:51
games. We can remember that Davidson
12:52
home game which was just an embarrassing output but like the
12:56
team is is starting off slow, then getting their act together,
13:00
then competing and falling short.
13:03
Fighting back in the end, but coming up a little short, yeah.
13:06
Aiden Argebright was great, stellar.
13:08
Unfortunately, that last shot, just his toe was on the
13:12
three-point line, so we weren't able to tie it at the end.
13:16
But it was a great, great move by him to to get open.
13:19
And Jalen Robinson had a block of a defensive play that was
13:24
incredible. During our run at the end where
13:27
someone came at him, he kind of went straight up.
13:29
So there was no foul. And while he was straight up, he
13:32
then blocked the shot. So I mean, they're both keepers.
13:36
I I look forward to and hopefully seeing them next year
13:40
getting even more minutes in the Robin Center, Yeah.
13:42
Here's a good So I think the the question is, and this is the
13:45
question you're starting to see it played out a little bit in
13:47
the real press, because we're not the real press, you know,
13:49
we're the fake press. Hey, we get press passes.
13:51
We are we. Do have, we do have real press
13:53
passes for the for, for an upcoming event that we're super
13:56
excited about. But like the real press, you
13:59
know, John O'Connor wrote an excellent story on Richmond's
14:02
being outspent in men's basketball by the leaders in the
14:06
A10. And so the question is, you
14:10
know, is it is it a matter of like more money fixes the last
14:14
two years of performance? Or is it the matter of the style
14:19
that we play Mooney needs to adjust to to fit the NIL portal
14:24
error or a combination of both. And I think that's the debate
14:28
you're going to see play out at the university over the next
14:33
several months because like, you know, you can throw more money
14:35
at it, but if the style is wrong, you know, are you going
14:37
to, are you going to find success Or, you know, do you
14:41
tweak the style and throw more money at it and, and see, you
14:44
know, better results? Because, you know, I think, I
14:46
think there's going to be some debates in terms of what, what
14:48
do we have to adjust to have more success in the current era?
14:52
Because I don't think, and I don't think this is a hot take.
14:56
I think we're in the bottom 4 right now in the A10.
14:57
Yeah, I don't think. It would be 3 out of four years
15:00
if we end up in the bottom 4. Yeah, I don't think we are going
15:03
to win five straight games, which is I think what you have
15:05
to do from the bottom four in the A 10 tournament.
15:08
I don't think we're going to win five straight games.
15:09
To yeah, to make. Well, I just when you talk about
15:11
the bottom 4, so we've got our next two games are against other
15:15
teams in the bottom four. We got Saint Bonaventure again
15:18
and then Loyola Chicago. So those are two games like we
15:22
have to win if you don't want to be bottom 4.
15:25
So you win those two. I'm not saying I think we will,
15:28
but we win those two. We have six wins and then we
15:30
have two games left and it's Duquesne and Davidson are both
15:32
in the top half, but neither of them are Saint Louis.
15:35
Davidson, we just played, I'm sorry, Duquesne, Duquesne and
15:37
Dayton. So they're both in the top half,
15:40
but neither of them are Saint Louis.
15:41
You got to win one of those. Two games, yeah, I think if we
15:43
win, if we win 2 against the bottom team and then.
15:46
You win one against. This top and then you win one
15:48
that I think you're definitely not out of the bottom four.
15:50
I think six wins might get you out of the bottom 42.
15:53
There's a bunch of teams now with six and I'm not sure if
15:55
they're all going to win games out, but it's it's not looking
15:58
good. I, I think it's like he's, yeah,
16:02
I think if we're the bottom 4, it's not going to happen.
16:06
And this, it's kind of the tough part where you're always hoping
16:09
that your, your team can turn it on and you've got this whole
16:13
portal environment. Like we're not.
16:15
I think there are times in the past where we've had a team
16:18
that's underperformed and by this point in time, like the
16:21
seat, the time for the seniors is getting pulled down and
16:24
you're putting a bunch of time in developing your, your other
16:27
players, your younger players. But we're not seeing that.
16:29
I mean, Johnston's playing. I think he had like 36 minutes
16:32
or something. The A JS playing a ton and AJ
16:34
had a great scoring game, but it's unfortunate like and
16:38
Argarbright is playing more, but he's proving he needs to play
16:41
more. This isn't I don't think
16:42
Mooney's throwing him a bone to give him more time out there.
16:45
It's, you know, he's trying to win.
16:46
Every game he's your best player, so.
16:48
So. And that's the the analytics are
16:50
backing that up too. So we'll see.
16:52
I did. You know, one thing I did feel
16:54
good about this in particular watching the games like
16:56
yesterday on TV, both more on ESPN.
16:58
Plus, boy, those announcers were awful.
17:03
And so it made me feel good when we got the volume was awful.
17:05
We got yeah, the men's. Game yeah, volume was awful.
17:08
One of the two months. Yeah, so let's first talk about
17:10
the GW game that was on Monumental.
17:14
Ryan Kerr. That guy was a super fan, by the
17:18
way. A super fan and and what I loved
17:20
is he was obnoxious for no reason.
17:21
He'd be like she shoots a three and then she missed the three.
17:25
Like he would say it while she was shooting it and then she
17:29
would miss. And so he's like.
17:30
Wow, here's something I'll say. He was a super fan.
17:33
Like, I mean a super GW fan. Like I've never heard that level
17:36
of excitement by an announcer about his team.
17:38
So to some degree I was get. Excited when something exciting
17:41
happened I. Know, like, and then on the, on
17:43
the play at the end of the game where there was a, the bang,
17:45
bang play in overtime where the lady, the lady and Maggie
17:48
collided, they called the foul for #5-ON Maggie, which, you
17:50
know, may or may not have been the right call.
17:52
I'm not here to complain about the officials.
17:54
I've had a listener tell me I whine about the officials too
17:56
much, so I'm not going to do that.
17:57
But the guy was like the the announcers like, well, that
18:01
can't be a that can't be a block.
18:02
That can't be a block. He starts to go like like almost
18:04
like you or I would like on a live podcast where we're both,
18:07
you know, maybe over overextended on caffeine.
18:10
And then after they called the block, the other announcer goes,
18:13
you know, and I think it's a one shot.
18:15
He goes, no, it's two shots, a one and one.
18:16
He's like, no, it's a continuation for the basket.
18:18
And then all of a sudden they ruled the continuation for the
18:21
basket and he just erupted into like into like gleam.
18:24
It was like. 30 seconds after the basket it was wild.
18:27
So I. Agree with you.
18:28
I thought that was a little, but I didn't.
18:29
I didn't, I Look, I'll be honest, I didn't hate it like I
18:31
didn't hate it because the guy's a fan, man.
18:33
I just. Wish he'd be excited when the
18:35
exciting things happened. I just screaming when someone
18:37
shoots. You know, the thing I'd
18:38
appreciate was his passion for GW ladies basketball.
18:41
OK, so Davidson, the sound production was awful.
18:45
Greg Herrenda is a former coach. He was kind of the color
18:49
commentary guy big time. Volume issues like 1 was really
18:52
loud. I got I got a little
18:53
demonstration here of of what it sounded like.
18:55
Basketball I can. Do this right, someone's like,
18:59
OK, there's a shot and he's like, boom, it's worth the price
19:03
of admission. I think that was one of his
19:07
lines. I don't know how that's going to
19:08
sound on the sound and. Then at some point he's like.
19:10
Argue bright is as bright as the lights.
19:14
That was one of his lines I wrote down.
19:17
So I I the The funny thing when he was teaching, because he's a
19:21
coach, yeah, there are times where he was teaching and I'm
19:23
like, wow, he's a good teacher. That was an interesting comment.
19:25
But when he was trying to do like the hype man color
19:28
commentary guy, I was just like terrible.
19:32
And the sound was really. Quiet.
19:34
Yeah, I, I didn't mind his analysis at all.
19:36
I thought he was actually very insightful.
19:38
What? I bothered me immensely because
19:40
I was, I, I got, I got back late last night from a meeting and I
19:43
had to watch both games before I went to bed so I could get ready
19:45
to record today to be released tomorrow.
19:48
So I was trying, my wife was trying to sleep while I was
19:51
watching the men's game. And so I had it really quiet.
19:53
And then all of a sudden he would start talking and she
19:55
would jump because she was like trying to sleep.
19:57
I'm like, OK, this isn't good. So yeah, the sound definitely
20:00
caught me as, as you know, they needed to fix that for sure.
20:04
A lot of boom, boom. They like he, like boom, yes,
20:08
yes. I can't remember where he
20:10
coached. I looked it up.
20:11
It wasn't that interesting, he said he.
20:12
Recruited Mooney I think. I thought I heard.
20:14
Him say I recruited Chris or something.
20:16
Well, I could. I thought he said that, but
20:17
maybe I was wrong about that. I don't know.
20:19
I was. But anyway.
20:20
Writing and listening at the same time.
20:21
Do better, Davidson kind of get that sound production right when
20:24
you're going to be on ESPN plus, like that's going to be your a
20:27
game. Like it's one thing if you're on
20:30
a, on a, you know, local or just like on your, like we have, we
20:32
used to have Spider TV where you'd kind of, you know, it's
20:35
only available if you, you know, pay for the spider broadcast and
20:38
no one's doing that. But Spider fans, like if you're
20:40
doing that, like whatever, but you're on ESPN plus, man,
20:43
someone, there's got to be someone behind the scenes.
20:45
She's like, we got to fix that. And there's usually a dial that
20:48
someone's got to turn to fix it. But anyway.
20:51
Yeah, sound is hard. I don't do it.
20:52
This guy over here does it for us, so I acknowledge it's hard,
20:55
but he always ends up making everybody sound great, which I
20:57
love, by the way. So good sound guy definitely is
21:00
worth his weight in gold or her weight in gold.
21:03
Well, as I want to kind of give thanks everybody for the
21:08
comments we got on having Kendall Anthony on.
21:11
That was a lot of fun for us. Great episode.
21:13
What a nice show. If you haven't had a chance to
21:14
see it, check it out. Super Guy.
21:18
Thank you guys again for donating to Scott Unger's son
21:20
Luke's charity. You can still do that.
21:23
saintbaldricks.org. Look up Luke's army.
21:26
We appreciate everybody who's donated.
21:28
Thank you very much for that great story.
21:30
If you go back and you listen to the Scott episode just about
21:33
overcoming obstacles in life and, you know, basically being a
21:38
positive force even when life deals you the most unimaginably
21:42
bad hand it could. And so definitely appreciate
21:45
everybody who's who said things that they appreciate that
21:47
episode and that they've they've given.
21:49
So you know, we've talked for 22 minutes almost and there's not
21:54
much more to talk about. We do have games.
21:56
We do have spider brews on Saturday.
21:57
I know Porter, you're not able to make it, but that'll be
21:59
before the Saint Bonaventure game.
22:01
We got spider brews, so that's a a good outing.
22:04
Looking forward to that and maybe we get a win after it.
22:07
If not, I'll be loud if we lose. Yes, yes.
22:12
So Spider's Brews is always an event worthwhile, worth going
22:16
to. The beer is great, the food is
22:17
good, and you know it's great, great value too.
22:21
So it's a great value for your money.
22:23
And then Sunday we have a ladies game right in the Robin Center.
22:26
Yeah, we got another home game. I'll be at that one there, I
22:28
think. There, I think both of these
22:29
games are senior night as well. It's their kind of final weekend
22:34
game, so come out, enjoy the seniors or one last time or
22:39
close to the to the last time you.
22:41
Can tell that we were both a little, still a little rattled
22:43
about the week's events, given that we didn't do a scout.
22:45
We're just like, you know, let's just roll with.
22:47
Well, we do have another guest coming up this weekend.
22:51
I won't tell you any more about that, but another former player
22:53
we're going to talk to this weekend if everything works out.
22:56
And so if we have some good things about the games, we'll
23:00
talk about those. But the focus will be kind of a
23:02
kind of living in the past where this is the kind of time after
23:05
Oh no, in three-week or no and three start to the week.
23:08
Living in the past helps us just doing it right.
23:11
But anyway, until next time, this is Tom.
23:14
And this is Porter. And this is the sad spiders
23:18
sounding off.
