- 1:28Speaker 1: Yeah, no video today.
- 1:32Speaker 1: God dang it, god dang it, man.
- 1:36Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people know North Florida was hit.
- 1:39Speaker 2: The studios were one of the pavement falls Rainstorm down here man yeah, so.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Eight and a half inches in about an hour and everybody's okay.
- 1:49Speaker 1: We're gonna get back up and operating, probably better than ever back better, but for now we just got the pod.
- 1:59Speaker 1: Thank goodness none of the equipment was damaged.
- 2:03Speaker 1: On the other side of the room, hopefully.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I woke up in the middle of the night like slipped in the hallway.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was bad.
- 2:15Speaker 1: My daughter was out of town for her field trip.
- 2:20Speaker 2: I mean it closed, God being down for the rest of the week.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Right.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know, that could be real bad, yeah, but let's start it on the diamond man.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Let's start it on the diamond.
- 2:35Speaker 1: You know, fsu baseball incredible weekend.
- 2:39Speaker 1: They're just on fire up to number five in some polls.
- 2:43Speaker 2: You're right.
- 2:43Speaker 2: D1 baseball's got them number five.
- 2:46Speaker 2: A couple other polls got them six.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:51Speaker 2: But you know 30-5 on the season.
- 2:54Speaker 1: And this is going into the weekend without two of your, without two weekend starters, right.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Cam Leiter and Connor Whitaker were both still.
- 3:03Speaker 2: I don't think we're going to see Whitaker for the rest of the year.
- 3:06Speaker 2: They're hopeful with Leiter.
- 3:08Speaker 2: We'll start there, man, the pitching did an outstanding job.
- 3:14Speaker 2: You know you only got one starter.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Jamie Arnold is, you know, hands down the ace of the staff right now.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Mm-hmm, you know the increase in velocity on his fastball hands down the ace of the staff right now.
- 3:26Speaker 2: The increase in velocity on his fastball he was sitting like 91 last year.
- 3:30Speaker 2: He can run it up to about 95, 96.
- 3:35Speaker 2: That's making a huge difference.
- 3:37Speaker 2: But it's just the confidence all around that he's pitching with.
- 3:39Speaker 2: But the other guys did really well, really well.
- 3:43Speaker 2: The bullpen.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Carson Dorsey did really well starting.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Brady Lauch ran into a little bit of trouble but you know the bullpen picked them up.
- 3:50Speaker 2: They still got the win and the lineup is just ridiculous.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Yeah, james Tibbs might be the best hitter Florida State's had since Buster.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Whoa.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, james Ramsey was really good, really good, but Tibbs has done it his entire time here at Florida State, just got better Mm-hmm.
- 4:09Speaker 2: And man he put on a show, him, cam Smith, marco Dengis.
- 4:13Speaker 1: They all put on a show, him and Cam Smith yeah, are got to be right up there.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Player of the year.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:21Speaker 1: There's some other guys.
- 4:26Speaker 2: With the RBI, with the rbi that right, right, tibbs, tibbs, is leading the the country in rbi.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Charlie condon at I don't even know if I'm saying his last name- right over at georgia.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he's leading the nation in home runs, leading the nation in batting average he's right on tibbs heels, he's, he is probably yeah, he's probably gonna win it.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Georgia's not having a great season so you're not hearing more about him, but tibbsbs is definitely a first team all-american right without and you know he leads the way.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Cam Smith hits some of the hardest outs I've ever seen.
- 4:53Speaker 2: He just drills balls every time he makes contact.
- 4:55Speaker 2: And they did, man.
- 4:57Speaker 2: They put in work this weekend.
- 4:58Speaker 2: Things got spicy on Sunday.
- 5:01Speaker 2: You know, Marco didn't just hit a home run to go up 6-3 late in the game, had some words for the infield in Miami.
- 5:07Speaker 2: They kind of followed him around the bases and the right fielder hurls the ball into the Florida State's dugout.
- 5:13Speaker 2: A few players got tossed, but you know that's just Miami and Florida State playing baseball.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:20Speaker 2: But, like you said, undefeated against the Gators, undefeated against the Gators, undefeated against the Hurricanes.
- 5:26Speaker 1: When you do something for the first time in 64 years, that's something Now you've got to remember.
- 5:31Speaker 2: We used to play Miami six times a season We'd play them three times up here and then three times down there.
- 5:36Speaker 2: So that'd be tough man.
- 5:38Speaker 2: That'd be tough to get a sweep win, those six and three against Florida.
- 5:42Speaker 2: But still, you're talking about Florida, who was in the College World Series last year.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Miami's lineup is as dangerous as anybody in the conference.
- 5:51Speaker 2: They have some issues pitching, but Daniel Cuvée is a monster.
- 5:55Speaker 2: He had a multi-home run game on Saturday, friday I think it was.
- 6:01Speaker 2: I mean, it's a big series win, big sweep.
- 6:05Speaker 2: They're playing with a lot of confidence.
- 6:07Speaker 2: They got a big one this weekend.
- 6:08Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I like Armstrong out of the bullpen.
- 6:10Speaker 1: He had a good day Sunday.
- 6:11Speaker 1: He did and we had a good day Tuesday against Florida.
- 6:17Speaker 2: And what's funny about that is he came in Friday night and he faced two batters and he walked one and hit the other and they took him out.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like, he's not like he doesn't got it.
- 6:30Speaker 2: So they brought him back in the very next day and he pitched four and two-thirds innings, just pretty much shut down baseball right.
- 6:33Speaker 2: So, and honestly, the bullpen since the meltdown in clemson has been phenomenal yeah so you gotta tip your cap there.
- 6:37Speaker 2: They've really locked in um.
- 6:39Speaker 2: It's crazy you're gonna need him yeah, it's crazy that you're sitting here talking about florida state as a possible national seed.
- 6:46Speaker 1: It's great what a great team.
- 6:47Speaker 1: And they, you can tell they they feed, they got them loving each other the atmosphere is electric out there, right um, just to beat some.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Do something like that is special to be your rivals yeah, sweep them, oh, yeah, and baseball is hard to do it is, it is, it is, Um, especially.
- 7:05Speaker 2: I mean, you know you, you saw the atmosphere Tuesday.
- 7:08Speaker 2: We saw it man to come in a couple of days later and still be locked in after it was essentially a party, Really cool to have the um marching chiefs there.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Yeah, that brings a whole nother always questioning how you know the team.
- 7:26Speaker 1: Would you know respond to that?
- 7:27Speaker 1: You know they've been nothing but fed off.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that's something you'll see and that is.
- 7:30Speaker 2: I mean, I'm telling you the players are feeding off of it at the plate.
- 7:33Speaker 2: You know, cam smith hit his home run but he's halfway to first base and turned to the dugout and starts jumping up and celebrating getting his dugout up.
- 7:42Speaker 2: I mean right it's going to be hard to win in Dick Hauser this year, so you know.
- 7:48Speaker 2: But like I said, big one on the road this weekend against Wake Forest.
- 7:51Speaker 2: That's going to be a game Friday night, Chase Burns versus Jamie Arnold.
- 7:56Speaker 2: You're talking about two of the top pitchers in the country.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Chase Burns was the guy from Tennessee last year.
- 8:03Speaker 1: You might remember him, Dude gets real amped up on the mound.
- 8:09Speaker 1: So just you know, I didn't think that was going to happen, especially with the two pitchers out.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Right right.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Who's?
- 8:19Speaker 2: going to.
- 8:19Speaker 2: So is that going to continue this weekend?
- 8:20Speaker 2: You know I haven't heard anything definitively.
- 8:23Speaker 2: They kind of left it up in the air.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Lighter sounds like it's just a matter of when.
- 8:25Speaker 2: You know, I haven't heard anything definitively.
- 8:26Speaker 2: They kind of left it up in the air.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Lighter sounds like it's just a matter of when.
- 8:28Speaker 2: You know Jarrett and Posey are comfortable putting him out there.
- 8:31Speaker 2: I think he probably, if it was up to him, he'd be ready to go.
- 8:34Speaker 2: I don't think that they're happy, like the way they put it on the broadcast.
- 8:38Speaker 2: They're not happy with the news about.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Conor.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Whitaker, you know he's got more evaluations to go through more opinions to seek from doctors.
- 8:46Speaker 2: So I mean I don't want to put anything out there, but when they start going through all that, it's probably you're not going to see him for the rest of the season.
- 8:54Speaker 1: Right.
- 8:55Speaker 2: But you know, you get Cam Leiter back, you get Ben Barrett back, who has not pitched yet really this season.
- 9:01Speaker 2: I mean he has a few appearances, but that was an arm they were going to be counting on.
- 9:07Speaker 2: So you know, you're going to get stronger as the weeks come.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's.
- 9:11Speaker 1: The Aggies number one now.
- 9:14Speaker 2: They look like a machine man.
- 9:16Speaker 1: They've lost that series to the Gators.
- 9:17Speaker 1: They did, they lost that series to the Gators.
- 9:19Speaker 2: But they whew, they look tough.
- 9:22Speaker 2: But you know Arkansas looked unbeatable and then went in and lost a series to Alabama.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Yep, so then Tennessee, Clemson and then Florida State.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Right, all those teams, right there, kentucky's playing really well right now as well.
- 9:38Speaker 1: This team looks special.
- 9:39Speaker 2: Yeah, the lineup.
- 9:41Speaker 2: They look worthy of a national seed right now.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Right, which is just a crazy thing to think of when you think of last year.
- 9:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:49Speaker 1: And how the turnaround has come.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Right.
- 9:53Speaker 1: It's still early, so it's early in the conference season.
- 9:56Speaker 2: I think the biggest difference is everybody in that dugout that's playing and you know that's part of the team wants to be in that dugout.
- 10:03Speaker 2: I don't think that was the case last year that's a good point I think there are a lot of guys that were in that dugout because, man, this is my only option right now, but I'm gonna just grit and grind through it, but I don't want to be here right, he got it right yeah and it's, it's and it takes buying by the guys that stuck around man tibbs, cam smith, jaime ferrer in lineup.
- 10:24Speaker 2: They've been here since you know, they deserve some credit for keeping things steady.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Yep, that's true.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Well, we have a.
- 10:34Speaker 1: I'll give him my song.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Here we go.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Judah Moosey.
- 10:38Speaker 1: It was a Sunday at the Masters.
- 10:44Speaker 1: The weather was great, leaderboard was crowded going into the day but finishing the day, no drama in the air at all.
- 10:56Speaker 1: It was Scotty Scheffler's day, just nothing.
- 11:00Speaker 1: I mean you knew it was going to happen.
- 11:01Speaker 1: I think on nine he hit a putt down the hill in Roars and it was just there.
- 11:07Speaker 1: It was no one's going to beat him.
- 11:10Speaker 1: He's on top of his game, number one in the world.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Yeah, no one's played like this since Tiger Woods Right.
- 11:17Speaker 1: And to win the Masters number one first of all was very short list.
- 11:23Speaker 1: He joined that.
- 11:23Speaker 1: He's a.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I think what's so great about him is his routine and his simpleness.
- 11:34Speaker 1: I think he still drives the car he drove in high school.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that he's a throwback man.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think that he's a throwback man to the 70s and 80s era golfers, where they weren't over-publicized, they were just normal guys and in contrast to Tiger, who was a phenom.
- 11:53Speaker 1: What's so crazy about his dominance is he's not even that good of a putter.
- 11:58Speaker 1: He's not even a good putter at all, really, compared to the other pros, but he's everything else.
- 12:03Speaker 1: He's all-time.
- 12:05Speaker 1: He's one of the best ball strikers the game's ever seen and it's an unorthodox swing.
- 12:11Speaker 1: He gets up in the air.
- 12:13Speaker 2: He's putting man.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's taking over.
- 12:17Speaker 1: If you didn't know him, you will now.
- 12:19Speaker 1: I mean, everyone in the golf world knew him.
- 12:21Speaker 1: The second place, guy Ludwig, right here in Tallahassee lives here now Right.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Sweet.
- 12:28Speaker 1: That guy looks like he's just getting started.
- 12:31Speaker 1: That was his first year he played in the Ryder Cup.
- 12:34Speaker 1: That's how I knew who he was.
- 12:37Speaker 1: I did not know.
- 12:42Speaker 1: He lived here right in T moved, I think, the last few months.
- 12:44Speaker 1: I would not be surprised to see those two again.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Yeah, for years to come those two look well, love digs.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Only what 24 I mean he's right there, well he's he's a kid man, he it looks effortlessly, he just puts the ball out there.
- 12:56Speaker 1: And his attitude, I mean he keeps it simple too.
- 12:59Speaker 1: And those two guys, I would not be surprised to see them be the kind of face of golf moving forward, because you got one guy US and then you got the other guys, yeah the international they're going to be Ryder Cup.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Yep, it wasn't really fun to watch.
- 13:13Speaker 1: I mean, it was a coronation, really, for Scotty Scheffler.
- 13:16Speaker 1: But there you go 2024 Masters, two-time Masters, champion, back-to-back players champion.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Wow, scotty Scheffler on top of the golf world, just kind of.
- 13:26Speaker 2: this unassuming guy that just sort of came up showed up like oh, yeah, by the way, I'm really good at this, I'm going to take over, well he's been playing his whole life.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, just the simpleness.
- 13:37Speaker 1: I think golf can be really hard and I did it.
- 13:43Speaker 1: He's got a routine and he keeps it, keeps his, he keeps it really humble.
- 13:46Speaker 1: You know he he's very faithful man and well just to be able to you know his dad says he's a better man than he is a golfer keep his swing, even though it's unorthodox right that plays into so many people's heads when they're playing golf.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Like I gotta do this to my swing.
- 14:02Speaker 1: I gotta do this and like well his reactions too, like you can see it.
- 14:07Speaker 1: I mean, he just even on the rare time he does hit a bad shot, it looks the same as if he were to hit yeah, the perfect shot.
- 14:14Speaker 1: And that even keel, I think, is right, if not the most important reason.
- 14:20Speaker 1: He's there because in a game like golf, where one shot you're done.
- 14:24Speaker 2: You know, talk to Rory about that.
- 14:26Speaker 2: If you can keep calm, that's going to just.
- 14:27Speaker 2: I mean what's?
- 14:28Speaker 1: up, I mean Rory's, I mean does he ever going to win there?
- 14:31Speaker 1: No, I mean, it just seems like it's mental.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Rory's an Irishman.
- 14:35Speaker 1: But I mean, he's obviously a great golfer, we don't?
- 14:39Speaker 2: do well with frustration and anger.
- 14:41Speaker 2: So you know, golf is not the sport.
- 14:45Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Like I'm telling you, if you can just keep that mental, just flat line, like Scotty, that's just going to work to your benefit.
- 14:57Speaker 1: I'm a fan of him.
- 14:57Speaker 1: I remember when he joined the Ryder Cup he really bursted on the golf scene there, but people knew about him from Texas, yeah, but you know he's got a great demeanor.
- 15:10Speaker 1: I don't think he's going anywhere.
- 15:13Speaker 1: He's just heating up.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Who's going to come get him?
- 15:17Speaker 1: He's dominating the game like none other.
- 15:20Speaker 2: It would be nice to see him stay away from the old Liv.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 15:26Speaker 1: I mean it just that's the big elephant in the golf world For me.
- 15:32Speaker 1: I mean, you just it's funny how fast that happened.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Like I don't even really watch Liv.
- 15:39Speaker 1: I kind of follow what's happening in golf, maybe you know play some lineups and stuff, but I used to watch a lot more, right, because I don't.
- 15:48Speaker 1: You know, we want to see the best players play against each other.
- 15:50Speaker 2: I don't want to see them actually like try to win right instead of just like well, you know, I get the money anyway, so it's kind of just like good practice for me.
- 15:57Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah well, I think, yeah, I mean it's already.
- 16:01Speaker 1: You can't say it, turn that down no one thing.
- 16:05Speaker 1: The pga now is higher purses, but I'm not the person to ask about that.
- 16:10Speaker 2: We'll get, I wouldn't be turning down guaranteed money but but the master's kind of like you can.
- 16:15Speaker 1: That's the place yeah it's like a bubble though you enter that.
- 16:18Speaker 1: It's all about golf, it's all about the game everything else sessions are at another rate.
- 16:23Speaker 1: It's, I mean, it's a freaking historic place, legendary epic, and I, and you know it's, love watching it every every year.
- 16:30Speaker 1: There wasn't really much drama, it was more of a coronation of now the two-time masters champion, scotty scheffler.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Well, um, we also had, uh, some spring games, fam, famu spring game.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Right, famu spring game Four quarterbacks, All four quarterbacks, playing Junior.
- 16:47Speaker 2: It sounds like Big year coming out over here on the seven hills.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Muratovich is going to get the nod, yeah, but you know, defense should probably still be really good.
- 16:56Speaker 2: I don't know what to expect.
- 16:58Speaker 1: You're going to run the ball.
- 16:59Speaker 1: That's what you need to do.
- 17:00Speaker 1: This is a big shoes to fill.
- 17:05Speaker 1: You know, willie simmons had established that program.
- 17:07Speaker 1: He's a play caller as well.
- 17:09Speaker 2: Right, and it's.
- 17:09Speaker 2: It's important to remember that, especially with fam right now.
- 17:13Speaker 2: They got some guys that are in the transfer portal right this.
- 17:15Speaker 2: They're not even close to finalizing their roster yet but still, this is still a swag championship.
- 17:20Speaker 1: This is still a celebration bowl championship.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Team expectations have been set.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not going in there feeling sorry for themselves.
- 17:30Speaker 1: That's not really Coles' style man, I mean he came up under Mickey.
- 17:35Speaker 2: They're going to get after it, but the quarterback battle will be interesting.
- 17:39Speaker 2: The transfer they got from FAU, I think he could probably put some pressure on Muratovich to keep his game sharp.
- 17:49Speaker 1: They got Trey Fisher over there.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Ah, DeMar.
- 17:51Speaker 2: DeRozan, mid-range baby.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Yeah, he got to play.
- 17:54Speaker 2: He got to play.
- 17:54Speaker 2: I don't know if he threw a pick.
- 17:57Speaker 1: He's a little guy, but that's.
- 17:57Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's not very big, but you know he's still out there doing it, man he's still out there grinding and then doing it man still out there grinding right then florida had theirs.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't even watch any of that.
- 18:13Speaker 2: Uh, I do.
- 18:13Speaker 2: I did read that that uh lagway had a long touchdown pass, but I mean, I expected that I'm telling you, man, he looks well, you're gonna, you're gonna say you're gonna need to play him right, you're gonna set your game up.
- 18:22Speaker 2: So the kid that everybody's excited about is gonna, it's gonna do well, you know so I got I think we got some clips from the halftime speech of the game.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Yeah, he did pull the team.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Let's analyze what's been working for us.
- 18:36Speaker 1: Not a goddamn thing's been working for us Like this goddamn suit doesn't work for me, and this stinking tie and this goddamn shirt it doesn't work for me.
- 18:48Speaker 1: And this stinking tie, this goddamn shirt it doesn't work for me.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Oh, wow, yeah, yeah it was rough going in the half.
- 18:54Speaker 2: I, uh I, what I, what I heard I don't know if it's true is that he kind of extended the clock longer than the game should have gone.
- 19:01Speaker 2: So the first team big year for billy.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Yeah, big year for billy it is, and it like right out of the gate.
- 19:07Speaker 2: They got to play miami, yep that's a I can't.
- 19:11Speaker 2: It's a home game so you'd be like oh well, it's a home's good for florida, dude.
- 19:15Speaker 2: I think that just adds to the pressure they're both coaches.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Miami and florida need this game.
- 19:20Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest this isn't I would not be surprised to see miami go in there and kick the crap out of florida I I wouldn't.
- 19:27Speaker 2: I mean, you're talking about man.
- 19:32Speaker 1: That would not be a good start for what is a?
- 19:34Speaker 1: Murderer's row of a schedule Right, right.
- 19:37Speaker 2: But you know Cam Ward man, he's going to be healthy week one most likely.
- 19:42Speaker 2: And I just, I don't know, I don't have faith in that Florida defense.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Right, well, fsu spring game is.
- 19:54Speaker 1: This Saturday, right this Saturday, and We'll see.
- 20:03Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go, yeah, Portal.

- 20:21Speaker 1: Stay tuned.
- 20:22Speaker 2: I mean dude yeah.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Probably be some guys from the current roster jumping in.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Oh yeah, big rumor right now is Julian Armella.
- 20:30Speaker 2: I think it's probably all but a certainty at this point.
- 20:34Speaker 2: The schools that I've read have been rumored are Colorado and Tulane, which seem like probably two pretty good places for him if he wants to just get on there and start.
- 20:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, man, he was really highly rated coming out of high school.
- 20:50Speaker 2: He's got the body to be an offensive tackle, the look of an offensive tackle, right, but for some reason he just can't find a way on the field.
- 20:58Speaker 1: Well, you're going to see that every year.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, kids are going to want to play.
- 21:01Speaker 2: They even talked about switching him inside, and I think he's ready to move on.
- 21:06Speaker 1: Well, there'll be people entering, so we'll keep an eye on that.
- 21:09Speaker 2: The dudes are jumping in left and right.
- 21:11Speaker 2: There's some rumors out there.
- 21:14Speaker 1: If there's a position that comes up or a player, you go after it.
- 21:19Speaker 2: Right, there's a defensive tackle from Louisville that just jumped in Jeremiah Lowell.
- 21:23Speaker 2: He's originally played at Arizona State.
- 21:26Speaker 2: It'd be his last season.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Pretty productive defensive tackle.
- 21:30Speaker 2: That may be a guy they look at, but we'll see.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Receiver is a skill position for me that I'm the most.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Who's going to step up there?
- 21:42Speaker 1: There's so many shoes to fill.
- 21:45Speaker 2: And with receiver and skill positions.
- 21:47Speaker 2: I'm going to like, I'm just going to make a prediction that the, the best of the bunch, are going to wait as long as possible to jump in that portal, in this window, because they're going to want to see the dominoes kind of fall and what they can get and they're going to want to up that price and make sure that, you know, I and it, just it.
- 22:09Speaker 2: Right now it's becoming it is free agency basically.
- 22:11Speaker 2: So we'll see, man, I, I would like to get a linebacker personally.
- 22:18Speaker 1: I think they can add a receiver on offense.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Those are the two that stick out.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Well, yeah we had to go you gotta get on out of here, all right, yeah, it is.
