  Speaker 3: perfectly too, looks good.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I'm a big light guy. Love lighting. I don't like
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: seeing light bulbs. That's kind of like my thing at
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: the house. I don't want to see light bulbs, but
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: I love a.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Light Yeah, they gotta have some sort of skonce or something,
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: some sort of some.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Sort of glow situation. Now, I get it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: You gotta have can lights when it's like homework time
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: at the house for you, like, you gotta have some lights, right,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I like good lighting. I don't want to see a
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: light bulb though, just me, so I don't of these cool.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: And they're also just not great.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, these lights, these theater lights came from the theater
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: where Lincoln was shot, I think.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: And they were old. Then they were old, then they
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: were used.
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, they were used all right.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Well as of last night, women's final four set kind
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: of a stinker too.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: It's boring. It's all number ones.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Typical.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that happens a lot with the women's Let we
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: talked about it. They're very top heavy. Yeah, they did.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: And none of the games were like particularly close.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Se there Texas Beach. Texas beat Michigan seventy seven to
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: forty one. Let's see Duke but No eight U C
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Lab Dukes seventy to fifty eight. Yukon beats Notre Dame
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: seventy to fifty two. South Carolina bet TCU seventy eight
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: fifty two they weren't really close, but then we got
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: a set. So it's Yukon, Ucla, Texas, South Carolina Yukon
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: minus two hundred and two thirty five to win the
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: national championship.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Ucla and Texas both tied at plus five point fifty
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: South Carolina plus seven fifty to win the championship. So
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: based on that, I guess Yukon is a big favorite here.
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: I would like to see them win, like they'd be
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: be number twelve for Gina and think about how hard
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: that is, Like that would put him over John Wooden.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: That's probably what they said about eleven ro think about
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: how hard that is. But I mean he tied Wooden
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: with eleven. This would give him this is give him
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: twelve national championships. I mean that's a that's a hell
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: of a run. So if you want, if you want
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: to find something to pull for, plus, I think Gino
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: does it the right way. Gino has always been a
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: pretty good coach. I got I've always been a Geno
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: arim a fan.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: He's been pretty good for sure, and he always says
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: the right things too. Like I like listening to him,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: especially this time of year in press conferences because he
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: fights for the sport certainly and like to get its
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: fair share of opportunity in the spotlight, and he fights
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: for his team, certainly so. But it like to be
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: in the final four with all number one seeds and
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: to be minus two thirty five to win.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: It's pretty tells you something right there.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: And you look over at the men's side, number one seed, Michigan,
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: number one seed, Arizona, number three seed, Illinois, number two seed, Yukon,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: much more evenly distributed. Actually, Michigan has the best odds
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: per the betting, per the per vegas. I guess to
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: win it all, Michigan's at plus one seventy to win
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: it all, Arizona plus one eighty to win it all,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Illinois plus four hundred, Yukon plus five fifty. So those
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: matchups will begin here in the next few days, Michigan
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: versus Arizona, so you got the two number ones going
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: at it, then Illinois versus Yukon.
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: Out of you broke down our OTV brackets, which we
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: don't need. We don't need to mention what place we're
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: in or anything. But uh, I think Michigan's my loan.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: I don't even know if I have anybody in the
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: final four.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Look, we we created are off the bench little group
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: and Mark. So it's called OTB, Wolfpack, foxhol T, Martin
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: and I think twelve people joined it, like and I'm
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: sure more people would have joined it as well if
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I didn't make the name so long and confusing. I
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: get it, but it made me laugh at the time.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: That's why I did it, So I don't apologize. Well,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: the tripod we're in the last three places.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't have anybody in the final four.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not good, guys, it is not good.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: Duke was like my last shot at having somebody in
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: the final four.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: There a miracle away too, So yeah. So I had Michigan.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Do you have them winning it all? I got them
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: winning at all?
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: Well, because I do too, And I was like, I
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: don't know if that gives you points if you get that,
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: probably not like point.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so let's see I had let's see, I had Michigan, Arkansas,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Michigan State, and Vandy. I really thought Vandy was heating
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: up the right time. Did oh, yeah, Delta, it's a
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: big on them.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: I had Duke, Houston, Texas Tech in Texas.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: It's not great. So let me ask you this. Have
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: y'all been Have y'all been locked into the tournament? I mean,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Taylor you're locked into.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I mean not not as.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: Elected as I have been in years past, just because
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: it's it's kind of been so chalk.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: But I mean, I've watched the I've watched the big schools.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Are we are we bandwagon? Like if our brackets kind
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: of busted, you kind of tune out of it?
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Or is it?
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Has this been a different year for y'all? Because I
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: probably I think it's just like my time of life
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: right now. We're so slammed with kids stuff all the time,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: you can't like lock in as much as you want to.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: But I also didn't know it is because like Bandy
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: lost early, so I wouldn't as interested.
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: I never thought I'd pull from Michigan in anything, but
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: kind of like to see them win. The Big Ten
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: hadn't won a national championship in the NCAA tournament? Was
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: it one O two? Michigan State? And that's the last time?
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: So street coming to an end? That's that's a little
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: bit interesting. That's wild, right, I know, because they up
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: basketball schools? Is it last time since matteen Cleaves? Was Yes,
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: that's the entire ten. The last time a Big Ten
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: team has won the national championship Men's basketball, Matteaen Cleaves
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: like the one of the few people that I remember
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: watching as a kid. Like I can tell you because
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: I'm you know, Mike come as a shock to y'all.
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: I'm not a guy that recalls a lot.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Of names and sports, but matteen Cleaves is one of them.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: The lefty I believe that was a fun team to watch.
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's the last time and like freshman up
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: the they don't how any Wisconsin teams Michigan, I mean
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: you know that. You've seen the The Fab five documentary,
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: Chris Webber, Jalen Rose and all them. They never won
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: the national championship. Like, there's just so many teams that
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: were very very close. Wisconsin with Frank Kaminski a few
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: years ago, it was really really good.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: They got to the finals.
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: They lost to do Like, there's so many teams out
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: there that got closed or just han't got it done
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: for whatever reason.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: You got to think that with the emergence of the
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: pay for play period of college football, this time we're
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: in that you got to think that the Big Ten,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: we will have better teams probably not to say that
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: they haven't had. I mean, it's hard even if you're
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: a great team, it's hard to get through the tournament.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Everybody understands that. But you got to think.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: That some of the bigger schools will invest the money,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: just like teams of the SEC are doing, teams in
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: different different parts of the country are doing in different conferences.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: But you got to think there's some teams out there
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: in the Big Ten that say, you bring up like
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: a Wisconsin. I know they have funds to do it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: I know that's a proud sport for them. You got
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: to think teams like that will invest those inn aisle
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: dollars and be able to fundraise necessary funds for those
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: different programs that you know outside of football. We know
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: that for a lot of SEC and Big Ten, football
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: is going to get the line line's share of like
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: the revshare portion, But those teams that have that history
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: of being really good just haven't been able to break through,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: I think are going to benefit from that fundraising. So
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: that's an interesting one you bring up there with the
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: old badges. But we'll see if Michigan get it done.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: I'm not don't want to cheer for them, But for
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: the sake of my bracket, right, Like, that's I need
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: to go from like third to last place to at
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: least fifth or sixth to the last place.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Can I get the middle of there? That's a big
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: deal for me. Talking about some bragging rights there not
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: somebody just put this in the chat.
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: You were talking earlier about the Saints having marketing rights
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: in Italy. The Cleveland Browns are just posted we are
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: excited to announce that we've fig granted marketing rights in Italy.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: So it's not exclusive, not exclusive.
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know how any Maybe they're gonna play each other.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Italy's just handing out those rights. Like It's true, you
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: do gotta have two teams. So that's a fair point.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: Now the Browns are a choice for sure.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Got to play someone. Yeah.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I even asked, like I even asked chat GPT, what
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: does NFL Global Market Program mean?
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Didn't really have a great answer for me. Really. Basically,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: it says the NFL is franchising its teams globally without
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: moving them by letting them quote unquote own fan growth
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: in specific countries.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: I mean that makes sense, what does it?
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, if you want to spread the game, globally like
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: NFL wants to do. Then, Yeah, it would make sense
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: that you would have to market in other countries.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but like doing.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: About team, that makes it a little weird, right, and
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: especially given in the Browns, I.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: Guess yeah, the Browns are choice for sure.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: Are you selling Saints gear and Brown's gear exclusively in it?
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: So that the National Football leagu Global Market Experiment allows
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: individual NFL teams to market themselves in specific countries outside
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: the US, almost like giving them territories overseas. I don't
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: know what that means though. Were they not allowed to
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: sell a Saints jersey in Italy beforehand?
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: I don't get. I don't know what that means.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: I read like the big statement from this that the
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Saints posted as well, it still told me a whole
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: bunch of nothing.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: It's looking so I'm on like the NFL's website right now,
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: and it does look like every team has its own
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: little territory.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: So Italy is Saints and Browns.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: Germany has the Falcons, the Panthers, the Lions, the Packers,
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: the Colts, the Chiefs.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why Germany gets so many I don't know.
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: Greece only has the Chargers. South Korea only has the Rams,
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: Japan only has the Rams, Nigeria has the Browns, Argentina
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: only has the Dolphins.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: France only has the Saints.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Which France makes sense because the flair flitidly.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: I think that, Like it's the proximity from France to Italy.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: What does it mean they can sell jerseys there?
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: I mean this feels pretty self explanatory to me.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Why because they're just trying to.
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: Market in other countries, Like I don't know why that's
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: hard to understand.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: What do you mean about market in other countries?
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: Like they're just trying to like promote themselves.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: This country. This is your team now, I guess. Yeah.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: It's kind of how the Jaguars weren't the Jaguars like
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: in uh, England?
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Or who's in Ireland.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: The Steelers, Like isn't it one of the.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: One of them? Is? So like Italy is like I
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: declare that all citizens of this great country can only
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: be fans of the Browns or the Saints because they
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: are marketing here.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: And I'm sure any other team could be like, hey,
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: I want to market in Italy too.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: A couple hundred bucks, maybe we're gonna ask Nick Underhill,
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: we had to get to the bottom of this situation.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: And I agree, like the words they're saying are self explanatory,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: but I don't agree that what it actually means means
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: anything except to confuse me on a Tuesday morning.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: I think it's just a global initiative to get people
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: more into the NFL.
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: Good do you because like I'm okay with a couple
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: of games, but like the NFL opens on a Wednesday night.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this year, which I hate.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're gonna do it, Like give everybody
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: one country in one team.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Jeremy, what you got eight of them? It's not fair.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Ram's got a couple of countries, just pick one. Who
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: do you think the Cowboys have? North Korea?
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: No, let me think somewhere somewhere, Yeah, some third world.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: I actually don't see the Cowboys on here.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Nobody wants them. Jerry said, it's all about America.
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: Probably all right, they got the Great State of Texas,
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: all right.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Probably exactly what he said. All right, well we.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Are back in Mexico makes sense too, That also makes sense.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Fifteen minutes we got Ja Clark joining the show where
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: you will talk about you gymnastics as they go into regionals.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: They're gonna host the regionals starting to April first through fourth,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: I believe right here at the Pemis. So we'll have
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: him joining the show. We got Nick Underhill coming in

  Speaker 4: I'll all right, welcome back here off the bench Tuesday morning.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: I've got some complaints by my Mike levels the chat.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna speak up, speaking a little low this morning.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to complain like Hester and say I'm
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: tired this morning.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: I would never do that.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: I saw a great comment in the chat earlier that
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: said Hester now identifies as a running back, not a
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: fullback since he's gone to NFL.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: That's a tough look for him.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: He one of the big things that has kind of
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: been coming across my timeline this past week and this weekend. Certainly,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: I want to get y'all's thoughts on it is the
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: new ABS system in Major League Baseball. I know there's
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: a lot of good to it, but I want to
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: know how y'all feel that it has gone through the
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: first you know, first handful of games out now that
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: of course, the ABS system is the automatic ball strike situation,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: which is allows players to challenge balls and tricks obviously
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: well tap of the head most of times getting a
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: real quick tap of the head as well. But the
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: umpires are getting exposed real fast out here now, Like like,
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say this is an easy situation because
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: most of these things that I'm seeing at least that
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: are getting challenged are like fractions of an inch that
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: they're either hitting the square or not hitting it. How
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: do y'all think it's gone? Is this Is this good
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: for the game or is this bad for the game?
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: I think it can be both, But I'm also a
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: lot things can be true. I think both things can
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: be true.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: I know that's kind of like a riding the fence
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: kind of answer, but I personally this is and this
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: is a hot People don't agree with me at all,
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: but me personally, I'm like a traditionalist, right so I
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: don't like to see all the new stuff that's happening
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: in baseball, well just because like I just like the
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: old school way of doing things, and like baseball is
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: America's pastime, you know, so I just feel like that's
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: one of those things that you shouldn't really mess with.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: Like I don't like the pitch clock. I know that
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: people hate that take and everybody loves the pitchclock, but
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: I just don't like it. But I think that when
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: there's umpires that are clearly really bad at their.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Job and.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: Sometimes inconsistent with calling balls and strikes, I think that's good.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Who was the who?
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: I think objectively it could be a good thing. Subjectively,
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: I'm not like I don't care either.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Way, right, Like I'm all about all sports. Yeah, and
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: I'm not even gonna say exposing.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Refs or ups expose them.
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: But.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: I guess exposing the ones that aren't as good like
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: they are going to be having people watch you have
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: an accountability, especially immediate accountability, like this makes you be
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: better at anything that you do. Are your good coach
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: hos hold his players accountable, A good parent holds his
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: kids accountable, Like that's the way we get better and
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: I'm sure that these umps have a grade and they're
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: accountable to somebody, but now they're accountable to everybody in
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: real time. Immediately. How embarrassing had to it have been
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: for it was? It was it cb C B. Buckner
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: the umpire, I can't even remember what a game was
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: like he got six, like immediately he got six wrong?
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Now again, like, look, we're talking to like a quarter
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: of an inch off wrong? I get, like, it's it's
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: hard and the ball's moving a lot. These catchers are
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: elite or absolutely elite at framing the strike zone. Like,
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: I get it. It's not an easy situation. But but
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: my god, and I'm sure and I can imagine that
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: every umpire in Major League Baseball is gonna have games
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: like that where they get exposed on multiple So everybody's
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: gonna have a little egg on their face at some point.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: But I think most of the ones.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: That I saw called wrong, we're not wrong by a lot, right,
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: Like if it was if they called it a ball
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: and the catcher thought it was a strike, Like it's
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: clipping the outer edge of the perimeter of that rectangle. Yeah,
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: like so it's not like crazy. So I was watching
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: it and I was like, man, these refs or these
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: umps are getting like poo pooed on by everybody, and
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: I'm like, it's it doesn't look that easy. And these
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: were really close calls, So like I'm all about you know,
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: we're not going to ever give like the ref the
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: benefit of the doubt here on these shows. But I'm
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: watching it and I'm like, I don't like seeing as
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: a guy that had like tuned into a lot of
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: baseball in his adulthood, yeah, starting to try to tune
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: in a lot more now, especially my son playing baseball.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: He wants to watch some more new just baseball on
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: the TV at least, right, and I like to have
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: it like at least on the background so.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: He's at least like soaking things in subconsciously. Right.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: It was just baseball knowledge terminology or whatever it is.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: I'm watching it and I don't like it just seems
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: like they're and I know there are rules and you
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: can't like there's I'm sure there's a certain amount that
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: you can do. It seems like there's just people tapping
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: the head all over the place. I guess my question
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: like how many do you get?
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: Because like that's a good point that Lauder brought up
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: about the pitch clock, like you either love it or
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: hate it, but they installed the pitchclock to speed up
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: the game.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: I feel like this kind of slows down the game.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: And I think they only have like fifteen seconds to
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: make the decision like once it is.
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: Which is fine, but it's like, I do feel like
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: this slows down the game. The pitchclock was to speed
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: up the game, So it's I mean, kind of like,
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: what are we doing?
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: It's goind of counterintuitive, right, so do the first forty
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: seven games there was one hundred and seventy five challenges,
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: which is the average of like three point seven per game.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: So I guess, like, if you're doing the math, it's
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: around a minute. I guess probably wasted or not wasted.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: So it's it's actually it's not slowing it down too much,
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: A guess. But that was my thoughts. It's kind of
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: messing up the flow of the game, right, like to
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: watch it. But but but there's this other side of
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: me that's like, but it's actually really good because you're
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: holding them accountable. They're gonna eventually be better because of
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: the scrutiny that they're getting.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Uh So I think I.
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: Don't think there's less reviews there than there is in
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: like football.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't need to see like a review.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: A ball missing like a quarter of an inch outside
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: of the strike center getting called a strike. I don't
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: need to see that in the top of the third inning. No,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: well it's like no outs, nobody on base, Like I
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: don't need to see that. Maybe there's a situation to
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: where like you want the you want that in big situations,
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: like meaningful situations. So maybe there's parameters on when they
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: can be called, yeah, or like tighten it down to
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: how many you can call it, then they're not wasting
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: them as much like trying to tell a catcher you
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: can only do it twice again, Like that right, that
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: guy's like tapping his head every time he's framing one up.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: And also like don't leave it up to the ump.
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: We say it all the time, like if the call
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: is close, don't leave it up to the ump.
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: Aoulew that thing off.
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: Okay if it's like a quarter point Yeah, if it's
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: a quarter of an inch off the little rectangle or whatever,
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: like you could have filed that one off.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Leave some of those some of those pictures have so
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: much movement they probably don't even it's sick.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: It is pretty sick. It's fun to watch.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: But anyway, hey, look, if you're listening, you're looking at
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: listening at home, or if you're just at the office.

  Speaker 8: Jay doing good fellas, how are you all this morning?
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: We are doing fantastic.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Excited for Excited for your team right now hosting a
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: regional right here in the PMAC.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: What does that?
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: What does that mean for you to have that seed
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: at the end of the year, to be able to
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: host these regionals?
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, we haven't. We haven't hosted one of
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: these things since twenty nineteen. And you know, I don't
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: understand the whole bit process deal that we've got. We
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: we try to get it every year. We think we're
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: one of the more attractive locations for this for obvious reasons.
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: But nonetheless we've got it. This year. We've positioned ourselves
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: in a great position as the number one seed for
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: this regional, number two overall nationally, and we feel good
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: about it. Hopefully we can take advantage of the of
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: the familiar confines of the p back and being on
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: our own equipment and and get through this thing.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: It's going to be.
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: It's a tough field that we've got coming in here,
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: and you know, when you get to this stage of
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: the game, it's never easy but I feel good about
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: where our team is mentally and physically at this.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Point because you got these regionals. You have number you know,
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: of course, number two LSU, you had number fifteen Clemson,
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: you got Auburn Air Force, Nebraska, the number seven stand
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: for number ten Michigan, you NC Utah State. So certainly
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: a lot of good teams out there, but y'all certainly
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: are not. Y'all are experience with playing of course, being
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: in the SEC, playing the best of the best in
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: every single week.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: So just how are your girls feeling?
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: I know they've had a fantastic season, a lot of
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: great meets, a lot of great scores. They've been posted
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: coming off the SEC Championships a week and a half ago.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: So how would the girls feeling right now, just going
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: into the postseason.
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: Well, you're, first of all, you're right, you know, anytime
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: you can run the gauntlet of the Southeastern Conference during
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: the year, you should be prepared for just about anything.
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: But I think our kids are in a good position,
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: you know, right now, as far as how we train,
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: less is more Because you get to this stage of
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: the game and you're fifteen weeks in, the bodies begin
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: to begin to show a little wear and tear, but
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: I think more than anything, you know, we've just got
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: to continue to be the team that we have been
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: from a mental approach standpoint, and not not trying to
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: be overly perfect right now. We just need to get
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: out there and compete hard, which is what we've done
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: all year. We've shown the ability to fight and let
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: things snowball on us when when we do have a mistake.
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: So I feel good about it. I think our kids
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: feel good about it. Their confident bunch and uh, and
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: we should be we should be able to position ourselves
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: pretty well.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Because so your your team takes it takes the floor
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: on Thursday, Thursday evening at seven pm. And then if
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: you're interested, there's a lot of gymnastics this week. So

• 30:39
  Speaker 4: meet Thursday night. So how do you how do you
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: go into those types of meat? There's so much happening around.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Usually it's it's two teams there. Do you tell you
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: do you tell your girls to focus on what they're doing?
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: Do you all score watch around what other people are
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: doing as well?
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: Well, I hope they don't score watch. I know some
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: of them probably do. But really, you know, as if
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: you've heard me stay before, there is no defense. So
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: the best thing we can do is just stay present
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: with what it is we're doing, uh, and focus on
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: on on what we're doing. Look when when things when
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: things go wrong, it's it's impossible to not wonder, you
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: know where you stand, and so we you know, we
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: just have to control those emotions and and stay stay
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: very very present. As I mentioned, I've likened it before
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: to you know, being uh, being in the final round
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: of a of a of a major golf tournament. You
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: can hear what's going on around you. You can hear
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: the galleryes going crazy if somebody somebody birdies at sixteen
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: or whatever. But you've got it. You've got to stay
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: focused on what you're doing. And the only way to
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: do that is just to not scoreboard watch, but pour
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: all your energy into what we're doing. Stay in that bubble.
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: The best you possibly can, and and uh and hope
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: for a great outcome and and really for us, you know,
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: we we're hopeful that our fans will get in there
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: on Thursday night and again on Saturday. And I realize
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: it's Easter weekend, you know, and that that poses a
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: little bit of an obstacle. But you know, we've grown
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: so accustomed to being in there and having our our
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: art and support from our fan base and being able
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: to uh depend on that is something that that that
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: we need to be able to take advantage of certainly.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: And uh, we we hope and we expect LSU fans
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: to pack the p MAC as well for every time
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: LSU gymnastics because it is as much watch TV right there.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: And I want to follow up a little bit on
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: the Okay, so and look, this question is coming from
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: old football player meat had here.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: If you're watching, so the coaches y'all have to kind
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: of probably keep track. You want your players to focus
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: certainly on what's happening. Yeah, but when you get into
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: the postseason, I mean, it's it's it's winner go home
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: at this point.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: It's just best scoring.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: So if there's a situation you kind of mentioned golf
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: like a golfer doesn't want to watch the score, but
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: if he's down, he might know that he has to
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: pull something.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: He he has to.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Make a shot that he would normally try. Maybe at
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: the end, is there a situation that, okay, we need
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: to score a certain amount? Is there is there something
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: that you would ever change in a routine, add something
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: to a routine because you know you need it, or
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: is it just no, you got to execute the routine
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: we practice every single time.
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: It would be highly unusual for me to do something
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: like that. I can I can only think of maybe
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: one time where that's been the case in thirty five years.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Of doing this.
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: The reality is they get into a rhythm and and
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: a routine, and everything in their mind at that point
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: is very choreographed, and they you know, they they've got
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: certain things they say to what themselves, They've got verbal
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: cues that they put themselves through, and for me to
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: disrupt that, you know, midstream most of the time, is
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: going to be a lot more detrimental than it is
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: going to be beneficial. So it's not something that that
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: you'll see us do very often. And in fact, you
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: know I tell them all the time, just let me
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: get pissed off at the judges. You don't worry about things.
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: You keep doing what you do and don't get distracted
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: by anything that I say or do you know that
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: in the course of a competition, we just have to
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: their their best approach is just going to be to
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: stay in there. Bell. There's certain kids that that can handle, uh,
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: you know, shifts in the environment, and then there's those
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: that really you just have to leave alone and let
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: them go into. You know, a couple of our kids
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: almost go into a kind of a catatonic, transical looking
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: uh state of mind before they go where they block
• 34:28
  Speaker 8: out everything and they don't hear what's going on around them.
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: It does you no good to talk to them because
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: they are they're dialed in and it's uh, it's it's
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: one of the one of the challenges of of my
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: job is to meet them where they are, because they're
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: all a little bit different that way. Some of them
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: want more inputs, some of them want zero inputs, and uh,
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: and you just got to be able to be able
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: to kind of read the moment with each one of
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: them and try to help them get where they.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Need to get.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well said, I mean, everybody's a little bit different.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: That's the mark of a good coach is to be
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: able to understand the mentality the psychology of your players.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: And and you're and the girls on your team, and
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: certainly you got some you got some studs.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Your team is.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: Full of a bunch of exeasonal language with a bunch
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: of badass women. Uh and All Americans came out recently
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Lincoln All American, Unvault and Flora Connor McClain and even
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: bars Beam, Amari Drayden, Fault, kayle Chi basically everything.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: What does it mean?
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: What does it mean to have studs like that on
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: your team that are just going out there every week?
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: It's uh, it's it's definitely a comfort to know that
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: you've got you've got and there's more than just them,
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's it's Our team is full of great competitors,
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: kids that are proven over time and time again that
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: uh that they have a level of consistency that can
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: be counted on over and over again. They rely on
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: each other, and those kids that are that that made
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: regular season All American would be the first to tell
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: you they don't do it without without their teammates setting
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: them up. So We've got a great group of kids.
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: I've got a credit Gar Griffiths spearheads are recruiting efforts.
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: He identifies the talent, but not only that, the personalities
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: that will fit here with the culture that we try
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: to create year over year here at LSU. And so
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: I'm just you know, I'm a I'm a blessed man
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: to have done this as long as I have.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: But to be.
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: Surrounded by this caliber of young women day in and
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: day out that want to do things the right way
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: and represent this university the way they do is uh
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: is really a privilege and an honor for me coach.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: What's been the best part about this team? Coaching this team?
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: Every team's got their own identity, their own personality, their
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: own DNA and you've had some good ones, of course,
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: But what's been the best part about being with these
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: ladies this year?
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: Well, I think they from the from the first meet,
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: they've they've demonstrated that they're fighters and that they they're
• 36:53
  Speaker 8: they're very proud of what they represent and a lot
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: of that goes back to what I just said, they
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: represent each other there. One of the things they've repeated
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: and that we repeat a lot, is that we honor
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: each other with our actions and not our words. And UH.
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: And they've they've spent a lot of time investing in
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: one another, uh, really growing their relationships outside of the gym, which,
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: as you guys know, UH, particularly in the more classic
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: team sports, is super important. That locker room, in the
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: chemistry that you can provide that you get is super
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: important to the success of a team. And it's and
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: believe it or not, it is in our sport too,
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: which which is seemingly an individual sport that that you
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: wouldn't think that matters a whole lot. It does. And
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: I've been part of teams that had no business thinking
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: they could win a championship and they did because of that.
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: And I've been part of teams that should have run
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: off and left everybody and didn't because they didn't have that.
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: And I'm just proud of this team for investing in
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: one another, spending the time with one another, getting to
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: know what makes each other tick, what are the possible
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: what are the things that could divide them so that
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: they don't and and that they've they really put on
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: a great effort into those relationships and prioritize one another
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: over outside things that that could get in the way,
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: so that that's one of the biggest things I'm proud of.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I can tell you, for LSU fans, what y'all
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: do certainly does matter in this community.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: It does.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: I can tell you got two little girls that did gymnastics,
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: and there's about there are so many gymnastic places for
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: little girls to go in Baton Rouge, and I only
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: I can only contribute that to the success and the
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: popularity that your team has within this community. So it
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: certainly does matter. Coach, I wanted to ask you. I
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: asked this to Jay Johnson last week. Well, of course
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: there's a new coaching hire with the men's basketball team
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: gonna be playing in the same building where your team.
• 38:41
  Speaker 8: Some say it's a new hire, some.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Old I guess, yeah, yeah. But coach, what's it like
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: to coach a successful program at a school that cares
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: so much about the product that puts out on the
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: field or the court or the floor, and it does
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: all the resources and everything that it goes into it
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: will support you, guys and every single way. What does
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: it mean to be a coach here at LSU.
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: I can't think of I can't think of about it
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: I've done it, and I've only done it in two places,
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: and both of them in the conference Once. Once was
• 39:16
  Speaker 8: my album of honor. But I'm going to tell you
• 39:18
  Speaker 8: something right now, and I kind of echo what Will said.
• 39:22
  Speaker 8: You know, Louisiana and LSU is home for me now
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: and and it's different, you know, And I know that
• 39:28
  Speaker 8: Laye has coined that, and everybody's just talking about it's
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: just different. It that's maybe that's a catchphrase. Whatever, It's real,
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: and it's contagious. And the culture here drives that, and
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: the personalities of our coaches drive that. We're We're not
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: we're not always the easiest people. We're not the people
• 39:50
  Speaker 8: that you know our coaching. Our coaches here at LSU
• 39:52
  Speaker 8: don't take no for an answer very well, and we
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: attract that kind of personality. We're all fighters, we're all competitive,
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: we all all want to win, and we all take
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: a great deal of pride in what we do and
• 40:04
  Speaker 8: this university and this state and what it represents. And
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: it's just something that I think it's it's cyclical. If
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: it all feeds. I'm I'm I'm part of a sport
• 40:14
  Speaker 8: that you know, in most places doesn't get a whole
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: lot of attention, but it does here and uh, and
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: that's that's just an amazing testament to not only the
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: support that we have at l s U, but to
• 40:26
  Speaker 8: Louisiana and particularly South Louisiana as a whole.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 40:30
  Speaker 8: They're just supportive and they want, they want to they
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: want to be part of a winner, and and it's
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: it's it's an incredible situation to be a part of.
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: This is my last stop. I'm gonna retire here and uh,
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: and I'm excited about what this team is capable of
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: doing this weekend. But we need the fans to get
• 40:46
  Speaker 8: their butts in the seat. I can't say that too often.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: That's right, Go get the butts in those seats. Good
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: to take us. Uh.
• 40:53

• 41:02
  Speaker 4: you're saying. I'm just a boy born and raised in
• 41:05
