• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of the Bust and Spring
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Football Tour. I know we've been talking about football, spring ball,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: but coming to the University of Tennessee, we had to
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: get on the juggernaut. We had to get on Coach Vitello.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Oh correct, Tony Vitello. Yeah, yeah, young gun. I mean,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: look at him, handsome before we get into before we
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: sit here and melting our couches. This thing is brought
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to you by the Chevy Silverado, the hardest working truck
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: on the planet, Dependable, durable, just like the people who
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: drive them. You and Coach v uh. But we had
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: to get the baseball guys on. You guys are crushing it.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I hate that you guys just lost one last night
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: because you guys were on an eleven game win streak.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: You're thirty and two now, is that correct?
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Thirty one and two?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Thirty one and two? I forget that one. And Jack
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: was Jack is a huge Tennessee guy.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And everybody's to school here, yeah, and everybody's been talking
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: about Tennessee baseball. And I'm on my phone last night
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: late at nice scroll and see all your guys highlights
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and everything else. And Coach Eckler's giving me a background
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: on you guys. You guys are kind of like the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Detroit Pistons, the bad boys of SEC baseball, college baseball raiders.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, would you agree with that? Is that fair to say?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Is that a good assessment?
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, I kind of like that now at this age.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I grew up.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: My old man's from Chicago, so I grew up a
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Bulls fan, and I hated the Pistons. But I think
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: if you're a competitor, that's kind of the way it
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: should be. You should love the guy if he's on
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: your team, or you should love your team if they're yours,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: and then you want to be hated. If you know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: if you walk into an opponent's building, you don't want
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: them to like you because that means they're thinking easy victory.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but baseball in a lot of ways, Like you
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: don't see guys hitting grand slams and going halfway to
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: first base, going that ship in the air like.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: It's fucking nothing Like you.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: Did you walk into the team meeting room and dangle, Hey,
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: here's a deal.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Fuck these guys, all of them. It's just us pirate ship. No.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, I do think we've got a certain attitude
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: about us, but you have to in order to survive
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: in our league. But people man, yeah, sorry, any power
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: five league. But then we had a non Power five
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: team put it on us last night. So no, again,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: at the end of the day, it's all about competition
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: and you got to be who you are. And that
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: guy in particular you're speaking of as one of our
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: team leaders, and he's just very unique. He's he's a
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: gentleman off the field, and he's an assassin on the field.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: And sometimes I do my best to control them, but
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: sometimes I can't. Yeah, yes, Drew Gilbert, he's a fan
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: fan favorite, and again, anyone that's got to know him
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: as a person would love him.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: But immediately when we go into another place.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: We're in Oxford, Mississippi recently, and it took their fans
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: about two outs in the first inning and he was
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: just on deck to understand that he's not the one
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: to like. But you know, our guys do got a
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: little bit of way about him that you know, again,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: if you're cheering for us, I think you enjoy and
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: if not, you may question it. But I don't think
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: anyone ever goes over the line to do something disrespectful
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: to the opponent.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: It's just in baseball, you got to be a personality.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: If you look at like the most fun teams since
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: we've been alive, like the Phillies back in the John
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Crook era, Darren Dalton and those guys, and the Red
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Sox when Malar was on their team. I mean, it's
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: it's long days as a baseball player. You got to
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: have some stuff going on in the locker room to
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: bring you together and also keep you entertained or in
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: all those all those hours.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: So this is your fifth season with the volunteers.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Is this like something that's kind of built over time
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: or is it for whatever reason this year. No, it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: kind of just you guys to become like the bad
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: boys of the SEC.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: No.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: I think last year without last year's team, this year's
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: team is not having the success they are. And then
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: if you go back to our first year, our pitching
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: coach and I were joking about how we're just starving
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: for any win possible, and that's how we were handling
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: our pitching was just one day at a time, we
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: just need as many wins. So it's been you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: without going into the whole long story, it's been a
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: gradual deal. And I'll tell you what, when the fans
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: got on board, and you know how crazy our fans are,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: that's what kind of helped catapult this whole thing.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I think what's cool too, is like you guys, it's
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: clear about your gut, you guys having fun it. Like
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you said, if you're an outsider and you don't cheer
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: for the for Tennessee, you might question it or whatever.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: But baseball, for the most part, is a very uniformed,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: bund up sport. And knowing that you have a team
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: like you do having the fun and bringing out their
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: personalities and having their unique style about them, and then
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you have a young coach like yourself who kind of
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: embraces it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: The whole my Concho story, the whole my Concho bit
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: is hilarious.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Is this something you're conscious of You kind of just
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: let it fly and tell the boys, like, hey, we're
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: going out here to have fun. Who gives a shit
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: like the opinions that are out there about the sport
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of baseball.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like you guys are bringing a flavor
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: to the game.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: I think that's something you try and set the tone
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: from day one. And manage what you think your culture's
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: kind of overused word, but what your style or brand
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: name is going to be. And when we first got here,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Tennessee's had great players for quite a while. I mean
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Nixon Zel was a second pick in the draft before
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: we got here. I mean, they've had talent, but they
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: hadn't had kind of a flavor that Arkansas, where I
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: came from, you could stereotype their baseball team. And again
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: we talked about Mississippi or Vanderbilt. And now I think
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: we've kind of created our own brand name. And along
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: the way, I've kind of felt like we introduced some
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: ideas to them. They've run with it, and now we
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: just got to make sure that fired unburned too bright.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Sometimes those boys get a little out of control. And
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: again there is a line to walk. What's what's the
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: right way to do it? And what's not My question
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: is why is they're allowed to walk?
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Why not just right in the sunset?
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, grab the chariots, be like Inchorest,
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: do you go to the sun?
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Well, you know we're on uh, we're televised here and
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: you fellas are popular, so you got to make sure
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: you don't say the wrong thing too many times. But no,
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: it's it's the in between the lines. To be fair
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: what you're saying. There are no rules, so I know
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: in baseball, yeah, I mean there's different versions in football
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: and baseball. If somebody bunts when they're winning up by
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: six runs, or someone throws inside, I mean, where's the rules.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: It's you're between the lines and it's killer be killed.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: And then at the end of the day, kind of
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: like UFC guys do when they dab each other up,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: it's like, how the hell are they doing? They just
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: try to kill each other, but it's a mutual respect
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: for you know, hey, what just went on here? There
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: was something pure there and almost kind of primal that
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: we are getting, you know, getting into it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: And now it's over.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: When you say, like Bunny, when you're of six round
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: of six runs, like, what are some of the like.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Unspoken rules of you just don't do that? Maybe maybe
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: you guys do.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what's interesting, you know, Like you said, why
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: is there align that they're unwritten so there is no
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: actual book. So it's it's kind of gentlemen's game party
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: that's kind of all up to perception. And you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: I don't think you know, you want to be sending
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: guys from second base on a borderline call to score
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: if you're already up ten twelve runs. I think it's
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: just you know, not putting to the pedal of the
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: metal too much if it's.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: You know, a big league blower team.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: But you know, otherwise, you know, it's like Batista hits
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: that homer against the Rangers and throws his bats. If
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: you don't want him to throw his bath, then don't
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: give up a home run, you know, if you had
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: to ball that far in that situation. To me, you
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: can do whatever you want. And if you're the opponent
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: and you don't like it, then do something about it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Well, they do do something about it.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: The next time he's up at bet next time you
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: guys plays touches little chin music one in the ribs
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: real quick.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: When is the time that do you in baseball? Is
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: like that?
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: In college baseball? Do you guys kind of give him
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: the Hey, this dude's been.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Talking no one, No, it really doesn't go on on
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: at our level. I mean I saw one of our
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: juco commits. I went down and watched him, and he
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: actually hit a kid in the helmet and the first
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: base coach yelled, what the I think I can say.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Gause, what the fuck are you doing?
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: And he basically stormed onto the field, and you know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: the kid just had one get away. I mean these
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: guys that that's just not a part of our game
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: as much now. I think in the big leagues maybe
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: a little bit. You saw Lindor get hit in the head,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: but I really don't feel like there was intent there.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: There's too much money involved.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Plus nowadays, instead of like George brutt Brett.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Playing for the for the Royals his whole career, you might.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Get traded the next day and be on that guy's
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: team that you just threw at.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: So you know, it's wild like that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: The trades are crazier like in football. I don't know
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: when the trades are, but when football is week A
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: by week A, you can't trade anybody anymore.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: So how's it working baseball? No, it's deeper into the
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: year in baseball. And two, when you come up through
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: the minor leagues, you might have played with all these
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: guys because there's a bunch of trades that may go
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: on throughout a guy's career, just trying to make it up,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: you know, through the ranks and then to now all
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: these guys like Bryce Harper. First time I ever saw
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: him was at the Area Code games. It's where all
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: the best players go. Well, they all become buddies, especially
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: on social media now too, so as intense and competitive
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: is as much money as there is out there.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I think at the end of the day, all these
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: guys are kind of buddies. I mean Drew.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Gilbert again, maybe the most hated or the villain leader
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: of our team. Yeah, trust me, you would, but he
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: played on Team USA. So there's the best player from
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Florida and the best player from Georgia and they all
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: get to know him and they all like him.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: The my concho bit is that something that was premeditated?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Is did you just watch Talladega Knights recently or was
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: that just off the top and you're having fun.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: No, I need to watch Talladega Knights, but soon, but
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: you haven't seen. I feel it's proper to visualize or
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: see that every month or so.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but those in game interviews like I can't believe,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: like a guy like Saban, like the halftime interview or
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: right before kickoff, but I know they have to do it.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: But it's cool when you're watching on TV.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: But when you have to do it in the dugout
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: and like your guys are hitting or pitching it, it's
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: pretty it's distracting. And so I had a lot of
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: emotions boiling in my body and that was just kind
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: of what came out. I say a lot of dumb
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: things sometimes because you got the Italian temper going.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: You got that, you got just Italian.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Issues.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's it's a good it's a good alibi. Yeah, no,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: nothing premeditated, just question. And Chris Burke, who was a
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: legendary player here, works for ESPN. He was the one
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: conducting the interview, and I just have a level of
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: comfort with him. So it's kind of like us sitting here,
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: average talking.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I got.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: That's my first f wort. I think with me, that
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: kind of feels good. Let's just started letting him fly.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Now you know what I'm saying, you know, all the
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: stereotypical thing doing, he's just disrespecting.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: He can't help, but he's just telling you exactly.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: There, anytime you have an interview, we'll pioneer that for you.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Nobody get mad at him. Just we do your interview,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and just what.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: I appreciate that if you do a little history, you
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: probably need to pass some things up between uh, a
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: fast food restaurant and myself.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what is that?
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: You dive into that?
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, after a game and my stomach was
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: in notts kind of like you you know, would be.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: If you ate it up, you can pick whichever one
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: you want. I you know, and I said that out loud.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: And they happen to be one of our sponsors.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: So that's so you don't want to say the name
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: because there's still a sponsor.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: No, I've already written enough apology rhyme with uh No,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: I don't want to say raising Kenes, not not at all,
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: love Kenes right right up the road, and so are
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: we able to say we can leave it at that?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: From that that is a smart move. Hey, you already
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: apologize to me already back there. He's got to he's
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: got to stay true.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I gotta find a way to get to make up
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: with last night's empire.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: So that's on my to do list. But we're gonna
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: I don't you.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: See him pretty frequently the same ones?
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you do?
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: And no it is, and and you'd like to think like,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: hey man, when you're in your you know, garb you're
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: wearing or whatever, and I'm in uniform. Were these characters
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: and then outside like I don't really care. I don't
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: know how you guys were as teammates. But you know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: sometimes it's hard to differentiate. You know, maybe you don't
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: respect a teammate as much, but off the field, you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: he's a civilian or he's just a dude. You know.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I love that a civil Yeah, I tell you what
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: he's got the Italian and he reminds me like Coach Bo.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: He kind of blacks out as he's out there coaching.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're familiar with Coach Bo Palini
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: very very you guys probably running the same, you know,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: mob guys and stuff like that. I didn't know where
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I was going with that, making.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: I do want to know a little bit something about
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: you were bringing up Bonterio, Missouri, where will when we
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: went to school?
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, before this, I want to hear a little he.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Goes you went to North County and I'm like, how
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the fuck do you know about North County?
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: And then you're like, stop, save it.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm from Saint Louis, and so the big thing there,
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: right or wrong, is where'd you go to high school?

  Speaker 4: That's the first question everybody asked someone in high school.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: So I know where you guys went.

• 12:27
  Speaker 4: say anything.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: But I can say, so there's a kid who's committed
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: at the said school. But we can't say the school.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Can I say the school? You can't go to school.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: We can't say school. Shepperl High School. Okay, yeah, that's

  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: That's why we were gonna bring up so he has
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: a coach hype recruiting story.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: He doesn't know you.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Said his name. I wasn't gonna say this. I was
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: gonna go fast forward. We can believe we can bleep
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: that out too. The reason we bleep it out here's why.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: So his dad, I'm very familiar. I'm very familiar with
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: that family. His dad was my football coach growing up.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: He would was a stud player in high school. I'm sure,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: like obviously he went and pitched.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: At Missou, But basically I was like in fourth, fifth,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: sixth grade just terrorizing the fields of Bonte, Missouri.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I mean I was a savage and.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Uh savage and every Friday or if it was a
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Saturday day game, Uh, his dad would take me. He
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: would drive a couple of US players to go watch
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: them play North County play because North County was a
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: good football team too. But it was like that dude
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: in high school or believe was that dad dude in
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: high school?
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Said?
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: Was that dude in high school? As a player or
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: was he like slant what we talking about here?
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: As an athlete, He's a good good football player, good
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: baseball player, small, smaller to could sling it like you
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: wouldn't think he could sling it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I have a fastball and stuff because he's not tall
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: and linking all that.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: But he was just a stud stud person that he
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: had like a he had a story that we can.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you asked coach Hype about a recruiting story. I
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: was fortunate enough to be listening in, and I immediately thought,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: because you were the one asking the question, well I
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: got a recruiting story for you.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Because I'm really young.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: I begged the coach to let me be the volunteer coach,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: you know, just unpaid coach. And after a year, a
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: recruiting coordinator leaves and I eventually get the job at
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: a really young age, don't know what I'm doing, and
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: I take the baton from him. From this kid we're recruiting,
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: He's like the first thing you need to do is
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: kind of finish the task getting this guy committed. So
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: I don't want to say he's the first player I
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: recruited because I don't want that label.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: But he went to that high school, North County.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: You're the one saying his name, so he was a
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: part of You're the one. He was a part of
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: the first recruiting class we ever had, along with Max
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Scherzer and some other stood. Maxim actually threw a combined
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: no hitter against Texas Tech.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: The only problem is later in the year stabbed a guy.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Ship That was a twist I didn't see and like, no,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: ship stabbed again like a good slider, and like, hey,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: I stabbed him. That's a baseball term with a knight
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: he used to and he stabbed it trying trying.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: To take a life party right yes, out in the lawn.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Fortunately I wasn't there. I was still That was a
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: that was for us.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: That was a monster deal because again I'm close with
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: that family. Like this player that we're talking about, I
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: like his dad would say, hey, uh, he would say,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: hang with Wilford day, take me along with him.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I'm a younger cat looking up to this dude.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: When this all happened, when I'm thinking, holy shit, when
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: he stabbed the guy and you're like, maybe I gotta
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: stab it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Like if I'm around if I Yeah, I'm saying
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: if I'm around him in high school, I'm like, as
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: a young kid, I'm wanting to think, Oh, he's like
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: an older brother type guy to where I can fit
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: in and hang around everybody else.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, So he was at a house party and he
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: stabbed somebody.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there was the person. The person did not die, No,
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: they did not. And the altercation was over a girl.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: So you gotta assume like it's kind of getting away
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: lady night and there's beverages. It was one of those
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: deals where this is the main house party, but there's
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: kind of some offset ones, you know, where you cross
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: the street and so there's some sort of back and
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: forth between the house. But I'll tell you what, that's
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: a tragic deal. Fortunately the person didn't die. We're a
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: University of Texas and we get a big third out
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: and our guys are hooting and hollering out of the
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: dugout and it kind of gets quiet for a second
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: and some some old fan for Texas goes which one
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: of you boys now and there stabbed.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: That poor kid.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: And he's sitting on the bench there in the.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Dug point he had been excused.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: It is later in the year, and just like he
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: was excused, he was pulled out of his ass, was
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: pulled out of there.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: That poor that poor boy.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: And uh it, it was comedy in a in a
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: weird way.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: So yeah, uh yeah, like the Joker comedy for sure,
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: that's wild, that's fucking crazy. But so did he get convicted?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Is he in jail now? He among us?
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Charges were dropped, So he really didn't stab somebody allegedly
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: just from the story, just like netted anybody.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's having a good old time right now.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll tell you he's a stud. I'm talking engineers,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: very smart. I mean you recruited almost murdered he's very
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: smart boy. Yeah, yeah, for sure he did. But he
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: didn't murder anybody.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: What a fucking story, man, did you recruit Aaron Blunt? Yeah?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: He was at he was.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: He was one of those cats. He was a lefty lank.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: He was a stud, but just didn't one of those
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: dudes that's like he had a huge opportunity and that
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: he was like a hem, was like a too cool
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: of a guy, like went too hard, partied way too hard,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: way too much me that information ahead of time? What
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: have if you would have recruited me to play baseball
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: at missoo. No, I mean I played baseball growing up,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: but I wasn't at this level that there. I mean
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I wasn't baseball player. Worked pretty well for you, Yeah, yeah,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: we went was the right sport. We played at the.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Old Nebraska Baseball Stadium the last year was there. It
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: was a piece of crap and it was next right
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: next to the football stadium. Yeah, And we pulled into
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: the parking lot and we were able to sneak in.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: We were waiting for the coaches to meet coach Da
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Van Horns, a legend. He was there at the time.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: I worked for him at Arkansas.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: And we're waiting on the coaches to decide if we're
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: going to play or not in the rain, and we
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: snuck into the football stadium and played. We had an
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: empty soda bottle and we played like a kind of
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, we wanted to play in that place. The
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: history was insane, Oh yeah, especially for guys at our age.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: One of the most story progress.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: What a small world, Yeah, what a small world talking
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: just just hair.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: But yeah, BoNT Missouri.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: The place to man.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I wish Aaron would have been a He was a stud.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I'm yeah, he was awesome. I just feel like, in
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: my opinion, he probably party too hard. You might know
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: more once he got to college, but he was just
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: a study. He was like an All American in high school.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: He could sling it, bro, he could hit, he could
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: do all the stuff lefty, so you know, he had
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: movement on the ball. You know, you know all the language.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know all the language, but yeah, I mean
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: it's some.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's interesting.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: A lot of guys, you know, maybe follow the Tom
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: Brady method and never eat a carb or any of
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: that thing.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: But I gotta believe.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Moment.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when Tom Brady comes on, we have to it.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: We take a moment of silence.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Well, you got to be able to manage that deal.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: I mean you got to be able to have fun,
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: but you also got to be able to handle business. Yeah,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: it's been interesting coaching some guys that maybe can't do
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: both and other guys, you know, are good at keeping
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: everything organized the handling it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: Can you usually tell when you were in a recruiting
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: process and you hear things about kids like, oh, hey,
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: this kid likes to get after.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: It a little bit. Does that worry you or you
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: kind of like, I just got to make sure I
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: keep an eye this kid once he gets here. Yeah, no,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I don't mind using the kid's name.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Nick Schmidt was a kid in high school from Saint Louis,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: and every time I called him, he was at a
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: part like maybe it was just a basement with twelve,
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: but there was always girls and guys in the background,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: and he was kind of that personality. It was my
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: first year coach when I was young, and he walked
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: by me at the field and I'm supposed to be
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: the coach, coach fight Tello and he's the recruit and
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: he smacked me on the ass. It's like, what's up, coach,
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: b oh.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: So imagine having that kind of confidence with the coach.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: I know, dude.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: So we passed on Nick Schmidt because of that, or
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: I did. He was the first fresher, but well just
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: the whole he was a first rounder, but I was
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: I was accurate in my read. He went to Arkansas
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: and a guy named Dave Jorn was a pitching coach
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: and he had to kind of heart to heart with
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: him and basically kind of saved the kid's soul a
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: little like.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I don't think he became you know.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Where he never had another beer or anything, but really
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: kind of got more. So I was kind of accurate
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: in my read, and he went to the right place
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: a lot of times. With the recruiting, it's about and
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: up with the spot that was meant for you to
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: be at, not necessarily the best place in the world.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Whatever helps you sleep for missing on that first round,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: the first round, or he ain't the only one. So yeah,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: no doubt. That's a wild deal.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: As far as atmosphere goes, I've been I've only been
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: a one college baseball game that was an LSU. Yeah,
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: phenomenal time. I think I'm a big LSU fan sure
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: because of that. What's the atmosphere like here? If stands packed,
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: but then after it's bananas. I mean, it's a hornet's
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: nest over there. I think a lot of it has
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: to do with our field.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: You see where we're at, We're kind of landlocked, so
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: everything's real close and quaint if you want to call
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: it that. And then our fan base, you can stereotype
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: LSU's fan base is going to tailgate and they're going
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: to do this and that, and they're going to have
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: crawfish occasions.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: Do it a little different. Yeah, the open container law,
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: they're allowed to do whatever they want.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: And I think each team in our league has phenomenal fans,
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: but they're all again, you could kind of describe them
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: in four or five words and be fairly accurate. And
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: our fans are just rambunctious, maybe more than anybody in
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: the league. I mean, you guys were talking about the
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: game against Mississippi.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Did you love that? You're not you're not a football coach.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: You can kind of he Yes, he's got to tew
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the line a little bit more.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Are you watching your life?
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: You're free to say whatever you want. Okay, Okay, I'm
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: gonna words. Yes, social media, he'll just be canceled in
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: the morning. Yeah, okay, a couple of days, a couple day.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Here's what I was thinking when you guys talked about
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: it with the coach hype is I don't think anyone
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: in the world wants objects thrown at another individual because
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: you never know what crazy thing could happen. But you
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: could see where the fans frustration came from. If you
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: were watching so they acted, you know, a little bit
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: out of line, or they acted out of line.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Bottom line. Here's what I'll say about vall stands.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: If if the referees at any point And again I
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: don't coach football. I don't know who those guys were,
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: so you can't as sue.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Me or that's right, sponsor.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all I had to say was the next thing
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: that's thrown on this field were penalized in Tennessee fifteen
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: yards and no one would have moved an inch.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: That's how our fans are.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but what about Mississippi fans that might be there'd
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: be like, oh, easy, that's that.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Is that's a good point, and that's true.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: But I think they're gonna get a haymaker thrown to
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: the jaw off if they throw something and the next
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: like that, Hey.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: That's the Italian of them.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna get a baseball back to the news.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: That was my take on it.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's always a counter argument, but that would
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: have been my perfect solution. To call me down our
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: fans because they're rowdy, but they don't they they don't
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: want to hurt our team.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: I can tell you that. Yeah, volunteer fans world deep.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: They were, ah, we're part of this thing with barstool
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: with it's like if your seed makes it into the
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: sweet sixteen in basketball, that we we you get a
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: certain amount of money. And I we were playing Michigan
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: was playing Tennessee, and Michigan beat Tennessee to go in
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: to the Sweet sixteen. And I tweeted them like the
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: haters are sick right now with Juwan Howard slapping the
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: tee I caught, I caught fucking hands via Twitter. I
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: was catching hands left in right now. I was biting
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: the hand that fed me. Because obviously a lot ofvolunteer
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: fans are Tennessee Titan fans, but they go hard in
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: the paint where I almost had an issue, like an apology,
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: like hey listen, you guys roll deep like that.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: It's a formal apology, formal like he's it the sponsor.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Better than the apology is just wearing that hat that's
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: a class is nice big time?
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Was that?

• 24:28
  Speaker 5: he said yep, and it was made done.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Deal like that, he took it off his head. I
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: readjusted the hat because the boy's got a bit of
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: a dome.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: Smacked that thing on top and it was It's been
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: smooth sailing with this hat ever since.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Other than Hijahan.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: A couple of your questions as far as like when
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: stadiums go, what's in the sec take the volunteers out
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: of it? What's the most hype place to play?
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: Well, Arkansas was where I worked before I came here.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: Their fans are like Cardinal fans, uh, just they know
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Well, they're really losing. Sam Louis is really getting lots
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: of shout out right now.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's a massive, massive stadium. But really, I
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: mean there's other there's other towns that could throw out arguments.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Starkville probably has the second or the first, you know,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: nicest stadium, and.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Then Oxford where we just played.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: I mean it's not normal to go in there and
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: win and Lane Kiffin comes and throws out the golf
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: ball and they're they're going crazy. Yeah, I think I
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: think he took some heat for that, but I think
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: it was all in good fun and.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Via social media because he's not scared and respect.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I respect that.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: It's one of the reasons he's a good coach. I mean,
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: you know, he's on the edge at all times, and
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: I guess you're not. You're taking up too much space?
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Should we do the Duke Cannon question of the day?
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Run? Sure?
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Home run coat?
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: What is okay?
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: So?
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: What is the home run coat? Fan question from Jack
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: McPherson's shout out.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Jack, No free shout outs coach Eler. What's the question Jack?
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: It's it's coming from Jacket's.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: Coming from Jack. Coach home run cove. Yeah, a coat
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: coat lay guys. You know, it all started with the Rangers.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: I think with Josh Hampton's on our team. If they
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: hit a double, they would kind of do a sign
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: and now all of a sudden, I don't think it
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: was a gang sign.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: It was more of just a gesture, gotcha.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: And uh ever since then, if you hit a double,
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: you got to do something, and it turned into Batista's
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: you know, batflip, and now everyone's got to do something.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: They had a home run. It seems like so.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Our guys came up with a hat they would wear,
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: which became really popular.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: The fans wanted to see it stay.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: This team wanted to be kind of their own team,
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: have their own identity, so they carried over the hat
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: theme but added on to it by having this.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Fur or mink. I've never even touched it.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: It's got to be nasty by now, but it's a
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: it's a it's a coat. There could be a woman's
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: or a man's coat. You know, they could wear in
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: a seventies party.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and they throw it on the guy who hit
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: the home run. When he does so, he kind of looks,
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: you know, pimped out or whatever you say. And they
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: love it. I think the fans like it. You see
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: little kids wearing these, you know, mocked up coats now
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: so is awesome. Yeah, it's something that's unique to their team,
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: and the fans have caught on and again if opponents
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: got things they do when they celebrate nowadays, if you're wasting.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Energy on that, you're you're wasting energy.

• 29:08
  Speaker 4: but no, no, recruiting in general is wild. I wish
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: I had one that that really really stuck out. I know,
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: you know, for me, it's always interesting when you get
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: the kids on campus and they're walking around and then
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: you know, they go off with the guys, and then
• 29:23

• 29:26
  Speaker 4: the guys a little too late at night. Yeah, and uh,
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: I've been a part of some morning meetings where guys
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: can't stay awake. But nothing, nothing sticks out too crazy
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: or where I'd want to throw anyone under the bus.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: Although mister Scherzer I was not a full time coach
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: when I took him around on his official visit.
• 29:43

• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: And so you guys went to Petez Diner. We went
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: to the diner in Columbia, Missouri, which is just the diner. Yeah,
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: and that is a lot to be And that's the
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: place that sealed a deal for arguably the best picture
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: in the world.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Wow, sealed the deal because of the night that you guys. Yeah,
• 30:01

  Speaker 3: strippers and cocaine type of vibe or no, that was
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: that was that inappropriate? I don't know, not know it
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: would have been nights, but it would have been.

  Speaker 4: They made me so uncomfortable. Anytime I've ever been in
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: a strip club, it's like do you want to dance?
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: It's like not really, you're for a dollar?
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Oh you're so cute? Like okay, maybe, but like leave
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: me alone.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: It's just I feel like I feel like it's when
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: a man comes on too strong to a woman at
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: a bar. It's the same thing. It's like, please let
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: me breathe, you know, let me work for it. A
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: little bit type of deal strippers, Am I right?

• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Although I'm I really liked watching him as a player.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: He's a little too and so I don't want to
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: cut off any appendages.

• 31:17
  Speaker 3: thing to do too.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, very smug he he uh. And I feel like
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: he used your appendage much more than Rabel does. What
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, he just absolutely put this kind of boxes
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: and playing.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Boy, he's just getting after it. He uh.
