0:57
SPEAKER_01: So uh I know we had some crazy weather down there in Madison a couple nights ago, knocked down some trees.
1:02
SPEAKER_01: I heard Strawberry Patch Park lost a bunch of trees and uh Parents neighborhood down in North Bay, they got pretty messed up and didn't have power for a while.
1:11
SPEAKER_01: And it's been kind of crazy weather lately.
1:13
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I was telling someone the other day the weather's bipolar.
1:16
SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, you think it's gonna, it looks like it's gonna up here, it looked like it was gonna storm and it did rain a little bit, and then the sun comes out, and you're like, oh, let's go out south.
1:25
SPEAKER_02: Let me go charge up the golf car.
1:26
SPEAKER_02: I mean you're gonna boat and go ride.
1:27

1:30
SPEAKER_02: It's can't make up its mind.
1:31
SPEAKER_02: So weird.
1:33
SPEAKER_01: I know it.
1:34
SPEAKER_01: You're right about that.
1:35
SPEAKER_01: And it's uh the speaking of the weather, I mean, uh watching some of the baseball this past week, Southern Mist, Tennessee.
1:41
SPEAKER_01: We can talk more about that later, but there was like a tornado warning.
1:44
SPEAKER_01: They had to had to pause the game, and uh all the UT all the UT people got all mad because they they thought they should have had it down there and complaining about how bad it was and all this stuff.
1:55
SPEAKER_02: So yeah, that uh I feel like that actually hurt Southern because they uh you know they won that that gate that first game and uh and then they had to turn around and play the next game right afterwards.
2:09
SPEAKER_02: I I feel like if if they had gotten that first game, you know, one day and then the next day, you know, I don't know.
2:15
SPEAKER_02: Uh that that's just an unfortunate deal with the weather.
2:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
2:19
SPEAKER_01: Well, we uh we can save some of that.
2:21
SPEAKER_01: We'll talk talk more about that later.
2:23
SPEAKER_01: We were gonna talk a little bit about the College World Series this year.
2:27
SPEAKER_01: But um first thing I want to talk about is we got some exciting news on the fundraising front.
2:34
SPEAKER_01: So we we had to shut down johnnypacker.com a while back.
2:38
SPEAKER_01: We were having trouble getting it updated and and keeping it looking nice.
2:42
SPEAKER_01: And uh people I was getting a copy from, it was a little bit harder to work with them.
2:48
SPEAKER_01: So I've been looking around lately and I found a new distributor.
2:52
SPEAKER_01: And so I started a new website because johnnypacker.com, I couldn't get into it anymore.
2:58
SPEAKER_01: So we've got johnnypacker.net, and everybody needs to go in there and take a look around because it's a really cool store.
3:07
SPEAKER_01: We built it up and it's got all kinds of uh information about the coffee that we offer.
3:12
SPEAKER_01: It's got a little page about us that tells us what we're doing, why we're doing what we're doing, and everything.
3:16
SPEAKER_01: But the most important thing is that it's there for us to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and so we've got a lot more options for y'all.
3:26
SPEAKER_01: If anybody likes coffee, if you go on there, you can get just about any kind of coffee you want.
3:32
SPEAKER_01: You can get it from any kind of country you want it from, you can get single origin, you can get flavored coffee, you can get it ground, you can get it whole bean, you can get it however you like it.
3:46
SPEAKER_01: We have sample packs on there, we have big bags, little bags, and we also have subscription service too.
3:52
SPEAKER_01: So there's a lot of options.
3:54
SPEAKER_01: And so if you like coffee and you're kind of like me, it's like you you get it and you really like one, and and it you're about to run out, and instead of going onto the website and ordering, you just run up to the store and grab some.
4:07
SPEAKER_01: And um, it makes it easier with this because you can subscribe and also like being able to have the sample packs on there too.
4:13
SPEAKER_01: So um it's a good thing.
4:15
SPEAKER_01: So just get on there and and kind of make a habit to order your copy from us now instead of just going up there and getting cold or something like that at Krover.
4:22
SPEAKER_01: So just go to Johnnypacker.net and you'll see it there.
4:27
SPEAKER_01: And if you have any questions, you have any trouble getting the order order process in or anything like that, just let me know.
4:33
SPEAKER_01: But um, we're we're working on trying to promote it a little bit more.
4:37
SPEAKER_01: So if you go to the website and you'll see a pop-up that's gonna ask you for your email address.
4:43
SPEAKER_01: If you want to bypass that, if you don't want to give us your email address, when you go to your checkout, you can put in code Johnny, all caps, jo-h n y, and you'll get 10% off your first order.
4:56
SPEAKER_01: And then you can also give us your email address, and we'll kind of drop some some notes here and there about whether we get new stuff in the shop and just give everybody updates that's on that list.
5:06
SPEAKER_01: And we're trying to get a little bit more active on social media with it too, so we can get more people to find us.
5:11
SPEAKER_01: So we created an Instagram page and a TikTok.
5:15
SPEAKER_01: So those pages are Johnny Packer Coffee.
5:18
SPEAKER_01: So you can find that.
5:19
SPEAKER_01: Just go to either one of those apps, type in Johnny Packer Coffee, and you can find it on there too.
5:24
SPEAKER_01: So I plan to update it a little bit more, uh, share some more content about coffee.
5:29
SPEAKER_01: Uh, people that like coffee, I like to make coffee, make it different ways.
5:33
SPEAKER_01: Um, so we'll talk a little bit about that, and I'll probably highlight some of the different types of coffees that are on the page and everything.
5:40
SPEAKER_01: So if you're kind of a coffee nut like me, get on there.
5:43
SPEAKER_01: I think you'll enjoy it, and we'll share other stuff too.
5:45
SPEAKER_01: We want to talk a little bit more about uh Johnny's journey and and share a little bit more information about him on there so so people that are finding us new um can know who we are and what we're about.
5:55
SPEAKER_01: So exciting stuff.
5:57
SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm really ready to get this rolling.
5:58
SPEAKER_01: I hope we can we can raise a lot of money this year for for CF.
6:02
SPEAKER_01: We're halfway through the year, but hopefully we can we can beat what we did last year, and this should put us over the top.
6:09
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, uh yeah, props to you, man, for doing all that.
6:12
SPEAKER_02: That's so cool.
6:13
SPEAKER_02: And and uh yeah, because you're the you're the coffee expert, and I'm the guy with the with with CF, so it kind of works out good.
6:19
SPEAKER_02: Um, people who who want to know about coffee, they hit up BW and people want to know about CF hit up me.
6:25
SPEAKER_02: And we'll like you said, we'll we'll share that on our on our social medias.
6:28
SPEAKER_02: Uh if anybody has questions about either one, uh to contact us.
6:31
SPEAKER_02: But uh, but yeah, do that.
6:33
SPEAKER_02: And you know, uh getting getting coffee, I mean it's something simple.
6:37
SPEAKER_02: You just just get on and online, order it, and it ships right to you.
6:41
SPEAKER_02: And the best part about it, like we all say, is it it goes towards a good cause because every when you're when you're fundraising and dealing with uh um nonprofit, stuff like that, you know, you it's called grassroots fundraising pretty much.
6:56
SPEAKER_02: You you re you tip pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, all that sort of stuff, it all adds up.
7:00
SPEAKER_02: So uh you might be thinking, I'm not gonna do that, it's not gonna make a difference.
7:04
SPEAKER_02: It does, and it may every little sin adds up, and uh, and that's what we do.
7:08
SPEAKER_02: We we want to share uh share about my fight, what I deal with on a day-to-day basis, but also do something, provide something for someone um who enjoys coffee.
7:17
SPEAKER_02: So I think it's a win-win deal all around.
7:20
SPEAKER_02: And uh hopefully uh people will um will get on because it's not like you know, we had those glasses that were selling, you know, 200 bucks, stuff like that.
7:28
SPEAKER_02: And people didn't want to drop that much money online without trying them on, which I can understand that.
7:32
SPEAKER_02: And I think you still have them in your store, but but this is simple, it's not it's only a few bucks, it's not it's not you're not having to spend that much money, but um the money that you are spending it's gonna be going towards a good cause.
7:43
SPEAKER_02: So uh so yeah, we encourage y'all to check out what what uh BW got on the website for us, um, johnnypacker.net.
7:50
SPEAKER_02: And uh I hope you all get us um get some coffee and and uh and share it with us.
7:56
SPEAKER_02: Let us know what you think.
7:57
SPEAKER_02: Um we appreciate that.
7:59
SPEAKER_01: That's right, Johnny.
8:00
SPEAKER_01: And you know, the biggest thing too, like you said, it's it's not a big investment to get in there.
8:05
SPEAKER_01: And the nice thing about this is we have so many different varieties.
8:08
SPEAKER_01: So if you get one, you don't like it that much, you know, get in there and try another one.
8:13
SPEAKER_01: That there's there's certain coffees I like.
8:15
SPEAKER_01: I I like prefer the ones that are uh Columbia, I like South America.
8:19
SPEAKER_01: Um, some people like coffees from other regions, and so you've got all kinds of choices in there and different types of roast and everything like that.
8:26
SPEAKER_01: So just get in there and try it a little bit, and uh you know, we appreciate everything.
8:31
SPEAKER_01: And like I said earlier, discount code Johnny at checkout will save you 10%.
8:37
SPEAKER_01: So um, oh yeah, and the last thing I was gonna say, I don't think I mentioned this either, is it the same as before?
8:43
SPEAKER_01: Uh the coffee is actually roasted when you buy it.
8:46
SPEAKER_01: So you you check out, you figure out what kind of kind you want, and they roast it that day or the next day, and then it ships.
8:55
SPEAKER_01: And by the time it gets to you, about a week or so later, it's it's freshly roasted.
9:00
SPEAKER_01: And and for the people that are really coffee connoisseurs, the the maximum fresh but freshness of coffee after it's been roasted is seven days because it takes a while after it's been roasted for some of that gas to come off, the CO2 to come off of it.
9:13
SPEAKER_01: It actually tastes the best seven days after.
9:16
SPEAKER_01: So you're gonna be getting that coffee right at the peak of its best flavor.
9:20
SPEAKER_01: So that's the cool thing about that site, too.
9:22
SPEAKER_01: But, anyways, enough about the coffee.
9:25
SPEAKER_01: Um I know you had you had a big trip this past weekend.
9:29
SPEAKER_01: I'm kind of anxious to hear a little bit about that.
9:30
SPEAKER_01: You want to tell us about that?
9:33
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was uh man.
9:34
SPEAKER_02: If you followed me on social media, you probably saw my pictures and videos.

10:45
SPEAKER_02: The cast members were there.
10:47

11:12
SPEAKER_02: And they have an organization called Walking for Kids, where when the golfer uh makes a birdie, then his organization gets money and then they give it out.
11:20
SPEAKER_02: Like for instance, when uh Sanderson Farms is in town, uh DJ follows uh I think uh Peter Monotti, I think was the uh golfer he did last year, and um the money raised uh through Walking for Kids, they turn around and donate it to Batson at the children's hospital.
11:36

16:45
SPEAKER_02: And uh, I've been to Navy Pier before, but um, like I said, Tom had never been to Chicago, so we didn't we rode the Ferris wheel, it's a lot different than it was when I went.
16:53
SPEAKER_02: It's it's like um you're inside now, it's not open, I guess or liability reasons, but uh they kept it it like inside so uh people can't hang off the side and stuff like that.
17:04
SPEAKER_02: But um, you got great views of that.
17:06
SPEAKER_02: Then we went on an architecture tour uh boat tour uh through downtown Chicago.
17:10
SPEAKER_02: If you if you're listening to this, interesting going to Chicago, highly recommend that.
17:14
SPEAKER_02: They tell you all about the big, big buildings, um, history of Chicago.
17:20
SPEAKER_02: Um you know the Sears Tower um um is like the biggest building.
17:26
SPEAKER_02: I think it at the time it's the tallest building in the U.S.
17:29
SPEAKER_02: And and uh the guy, the tour guy told us that there's a building in Dubai that is twice the size of the Sears Tower, just amazing.
17:37
SPEAKER_02: Wow.
17:37
SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, you'll have to Google that and see how big it is because it's it's really tall.
17:41
SPEAKER_02: So uh, but they had like balconies hanging off the top of the shoot.
17:46
SPEAKER_02: And there is a thing you can go up at the very top of the Sears Tower.
17:49
SPEAKER_02: I don't know if you've been to Vegas, but there's a thing at Vegas, the stratosphere.
17:53
SPEAKER_02: There's a roller coaster that hangs off the side of the stratosphere.
17:56
SPEAKER_02: We're on the Sears Tower, there's a little opening and it's like glass, and you can like I mean, just put yourself out there like you're gonna fall off.
18:04
SPEAKER_02: But we didn't go up there to do that.
18:06

18:08
SPEAKER_02: Uh, but yeah, that was really cool.
18:10
SPEAKER_02: And then uh we uh where we oh yeah, we were like, we gotta find a good Chicago pizza because he had that Tom had never been, like I said, when you're Chicago, you gotta get Chicago deep deep dish pizza and Chicago style hot dog.
18:23
SPEAKER_02: So we went to this place called Luminati's, which everyone kept saying, You gotta go to Luminati's Luminati.
18:29
SPEAKER_02: We'd ask all these uh Chicagoans where's the best pizza?
18:32
SPEAKER_02: And they all recommended this place butter, butter pecan, uh crust pizza or something like that.
18:38
SPEAKER_02: Just awesome, really good.
18:40
SPEAKER_02: Of course, I had to get the specialty one and uh ate the whole thing.
18:44
SPEAKER_02: Gosh, it was so good.
18:46
SPEAKER_02: Uh, you know, you got the New York pizza is that thin crust, and Chicago is that deep dish, real thick.
18:52
SPEAKER_02: And uh gosh, had uh we we ate at the bar there and a lot of a lot of fun at that place.
18:57
SPEAKER_02: And they said that uh who Lady Gaga had come in there last week.
19:02
SPEAKER_02: I suppose it's a big, big, it's famous place in Chicago to get pizza, so that's pretty neat.
19:07
SPEAKER_02: And then um, and then Friday was the day of the concert.
19:10
SPEAKER_02: So we got up and and uh we um took the sub the L uh went the L station was right next to our hotel and took up to Rick went up to Wrigley, Wrigleyville, and stayed there all day.
19:23
SPEAKER_02: And we're walking around Wrigleyville, and uh Tom is uh um his his kids all went to Ole Miss and his uh family's all Ole Miss fans.
19:31
SPEAKER_02: And we look up and there's two guys, probably a little bit younger than us, BW, wearing Ole Miss shirts that sitting at the bar at Murphy's bar and having a beer.
19:40
SPEAKER_02: So Tom's like, Hottie Toddy, and we go over there and start talking to them.
19:44
SPEAKER_02: Mississippi connections everywhere, man.
19:46
SPEAKER_02: They're all you're always gonna see something like that.
19:48
SPEAKER_02: They were in town for a wedding and uh they wanted to see the dead, but they couldn't go because they were at a wedding, they were right there standing at Wrigleyville.
19:56
SPEAKER_02: And Tom was like, Well, I do weddings all the time, and I'm a pastor.
20:00
SPEAKER_02: And uh rehearsal dinners were all the same.
20:03
SPEAKER_02: Tell them to tell them you'll you'll go to the concert and you go to the wedding tomorrow.
20:06
SPEAKER_02: So I they laughed.
20:07
SPEAKER_02: I don't know if they actually went to the rehearsal dinner or went or went to it, but uh, so that was cool.
20:13
SPEAKER_02: Um, seeing Murphy's uh bleacher, Murphy's bar right by outside the bleachers.
20:18
SPEAKER_02: Uh and uh so that was really neat.
20:21
SPEAKER_02: And we walked around Wrigloville and they have all the rooftops.
20:24
SPEAKER_02: I went to a game in 2017 and did the rooftop view one game, and it's like I wouldn't recommend it for people who are thinking about doing that uh to watch the game because it's like you can't see.
20:36
SPEAKER_02: I mean, you can see, but you can't hear what's going on.
20:39
SPEAKER_02: It's not like being at the game, it's more of like a social setting, kind of like the loss, I guess you could say it at Duty Noble.
20:46
SPEAKER_02: Um, very corporate type deal, or a lot of people have parties, their food, drinks, stuff like that.
20:51
SPEAKER_02: Um, but uh, if you want to go to the game at Wrigley for Cubs games, hit in the bleachers.
20:55
SPEAKER_02: That's the best place to witness a Cubs game in the bleachers.
20:58
SPEAKER_02: So um, so anyway, we walked around and then we hit up uh Cubby Bear, that's the famous uh sports bar there.
21:05
SPEAKER_02: And we're talking like what happened in 2016.
21:08
SPEAKER_02: They said when the Cubs won the World Series, they won it at Cleveland, but in that night when they won it, they said people were climbing the light poles outside Wrigley.
21:16
SPEAKER_02: Throw I mean they said it was just an absolute madhouse.
21:19
SPEAKER_02: Um, so that was neat because we're just like right there thinking about all that, and then and then we went up and uh gosh, you know, you always hear the masters, the stupid merchandise at the masters, they make like a million dollars off the merchandise, and so it's so hard to get and all that sort of stuff.
21:35
SPEAKER_02: And well, apparently at the at the Dead and Company shows it's the exact same thing.
21:39
SPEAKER_02: They only have one merch trailer, that's it.
21:42
SPEAKER_02: And uh people lined up, the line was ridiculously long, they don't take cash, only cards, and everything's extremely expensive, and people just buying stuff right and left.
21:52
SPEAKER_02: It was it was pretty crazy.
21:54
SPEAKER_02: Um, so anyway, we stood in that line for a while and we hit up a little Tom has a podcast.
22:00
SPEAKER_02: And we talked a little bit about um blending faith and culture and all that sort of stuff.
22:06
SPEAKER_02: Um, while we while we stood in line and and met so many people.
22:10
SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
22:12
SPEAKER_02: Tom, uh, I don't know.
22:14
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'll talk to people, but I'm not like Tom.
22:16
SPEAKER_02: Tom will uh go up and talk to everybody and wants to know everybody's story and talk to him.
22:20
SPEAKER_02: So gosh, we met people, uh, counted them up the other day.
22:23
SPEAKER_02: I was like, I think we met 17 people that I would have never met if I hadn't been with him.
22:27
SPEAKER_02: And uh everybody had a great story.
22:29
SPEAKER_02: We met this one guy named Jim.
22:31
SPEAKER_02: He had a long white beard, he'd been following the Grateful Dead since the 60s.
22:35
SPEAKER_02: He said he'd been over 150 shows.
22:37
SPEAKER_02: He said that uh when Jerry Garcia died, he said it was like losing a family member.
22:42
SPEAKER_02: And and uh this was his last he could he can't make it to the rest of the dead and company's uh tour.
22:47
SPEAKER_02: He said this was the final show they was ever gonna go to at Wrigley.
22:50
SPEAKER_02: He wanted to end it there, and so that was pretty neat.
22:53
SPEAKER_02: And uh yeah, we just met met a bunch of people and went up, and there's not a bad view at Wrigley.
22:59
SPEAKER_02: I've never been to a concert at Wrigley until this time, and uh we were sitting kind of the press box level, and you get a view of the Chicago skyline in the outfield, and uh the stage is right there, right in front of the uh scoreboard in the outfield center field, and uh not a bad view at all.
23:15
SPEAKER_02: Um, it was so awesome, and the concert was great.

24:50
SPEAKER_02: And you know, uh, if you listen to Dead to the Dead, man, it's like some songs go on for like 20 minutes.
24:56
SPEAKER_02: So, you know, it's it's every every night.
24:59
SPEAKER_02: Uh, I've been looking since we went, I've been looking at their set list and everything, and and uh you never know what they're gonna play or what they're gonna end on.
25:05
SPEAKER_02: They do an encore at the very end, come out, and it's always a different one.
25:09
SPEAKER_02: And uh, because I was wondering, I was like, do they know in advance what songs they're gonna play, or they just get up there and jam out?
25:15
SPEAKER_02: Because usually, you know, when you go to a concert, people come out like, How's everybody doing?
25:19
SPEAKER_02: Welcome, Chicago.
25:20
SPEAKER_02: Nope, they don't say a word, they come out on stage and start jamming.
25:23
SPEAKER_02: That's it.
25:23
SPEAKER_02: They take one intermission, uh, and then they come back out, start jamming, and then they close.
25:28
SPEAKER_02: They don't talk to no one, they don't say, How y'all doing?
25:30
SPEAKER_02: They just straight up jam out, and uh, it was freaking awesome.
25:34
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, some of the songs they they they do like go on for about 20 minutes or so, but uh man, we heard some good songs.
25:40

25:54
SPEAKER_02: Blues.
25:54
SPEAKER_02: That's the encore that they came out with.
25:56

26:04
SPEAKER_02: And and uh and we came back um came back the next day.
26:08
SPEAKER_02: Tom had to preach on Sunday, so we didn't go to the Sun uh Saturday night show, but uh it was uh it was a sight to be seen, man.
26:15
SPEAKER_02: I'll tell you what, if you if you're out there listening to this podcast and you like jam bands or you like Grateful Dead, you like John Mayer, you like any of that stuff, look them up.
26:24
SPEAKER_02: You only got a few more chances that ended and uh believe it's in September, is their last show ever.
26:29
SPEAKER_02: And uh they ended in San Francisco, which is where the Grateful Dead started in San Francisco.
26:34
SPEAKER_02: So uh I'm sure that's gonna be a big one.
26:36
SPEAKER_02: But uh, but yeah, it was uh highly recommended.
26:38
SPEAKER_02: It was uh it was a whole lot of fun and and and uh Tom was excited to see me happy because I I love that type of stuff, but I was excited to see him happy because he had never experienced Chicago and I'd seen that.
26:48
SPEAKER_02: So it was uh it was a fun trip all around.
26:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I wish I'd seen that.
26:53
SPEAKER_01: That's that's one thing.
26:55
SPEAKER_01: We always like the jam bands, and and it's so funny because I mean I always like Dave Matthews and I like the music and all that, but like you said, it's it's the people watching, and yeah, and I wish that they were still as popular as they are as they were back when we were growing up because just the people they're like you said, they're they're the the nicest people, they're just glad to be there, and like no, there's never gonna be fights in these kind of concerts.
27:19
SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's just like everybody's happy to be there.
27:22
SPEAKER_01: So I definitely miss that kind of stuff.
27:25
SPEAKER_02: We're we were talking about in the on his podcast that this is kind of like a literally a religious experience for some of these people because if you think about it, music man, when you listen to music, it I mean it hits your soul, man.
27:36
SPEAKER_02: And a lot of people relate to that type of stuff.
27:38

SPEAKER_02: And I mean, they had I didn't see this, but I had a I saw it when I got back on the internet.
27:48
SPEAKER_02: They had like a mosh pit of hippies just jamming out, just go, they were literally going it.

SPEAKER_02: They played the concert, it starts at I think it started at 6 30 in at 10 30.
27:57
SPEAKER_02: So that four hours straight jamming out, and these hippies, man, they were just going in circles four straight hours.
28:02
SPEAKER_02: They didn't stop.
28:03
SPEAKER_02: I was like, what?
28:04
SPEAKER_01: How did they do that?
28:05

28:19
SPEAKER_02: So uh and seeing it at Wrigley, that was another cool thing, is you know, uh Wrigley's such a have you ever been to Wrigley BW?
28:27
SPEAKER_01: I've been on the outside, but never been on the inside.
28:29
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's uh and it's cool.
28:31
SPEAKER_02: Uh Tom was surprised when the L station is right there at Wrigley, you know, yeah, and it's off and boom, there it is, right there.
28:38
SPEAKER_02: He thought we're gonna have to literally right there.
28:40
SPEAKER_02: But they've done a lot of uh uh Wrigleyville, they've done a lot of new additions.
28:46
SPEAKER_02: There's a hotel called Hotel Zachary right next to uh Wrigley Field, and and there they put in a new sports book uh attached to Wrigley Field and a lot of bars and all that sort of stuff.
28:57
SPEAKER_02: So the area is uh is growing, and it was uh it was a lot of fun.
29:02
SPEAKER_02: Highly highly recommend it.
29:03
SPEAKER_02: I was like, man, I don't know how I would rate rate this trip with uh like I said, went we went from Sparrowville to Wrigleyville.
29:09
SPEAKER_02: We were laughing about that.
29:11
SPEAKER_02: You know, we had we had the Dukes of Hazard, but these are my people, the rednecks, Dukes of Hazard, Rednecks, and you got the Grateful Dead Hippies, those are my people also.
29:18

29:22
SPEAKER_02: Sparrowville to Wrigleyville.
29:24
SPEAKER_02: I loved it, man.
29:26
SPEAKER_02: It was it was uh uh I I don't I don't think it could be topped.
29:29
SPEAKER_02: It was uh it was a whole lot of fun.
29:30
SPEAKER_02: So uh so yeah, yeah.
29:32
SPEAKER_02: I don't man, if you like if you like that type of stuff, yeah.
29:35
SPEAKER_02: Hey, look, I understand people listening to this, and that's not your thing.
29:38
SPEAKER_02: That's cool.
29:39
SPEAKER_02: This might not be your thing, but if it is your thing, check it out because you only got a few more months before uh for it's over with.
29:45
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
29:47
SPEAKER_01: Well, uh before we close out, uh this this weekend, uh probably before this the show comes out, there'll already be a couple games that have happened, but uh we got the cold college world series um this weekend, and uh you know, first first year that um in a in a well a little while Mississippi team's not in there.
30:06
SPEAKER_01: So I was you and I were both hoping for the Mississippi three-peat.
30:10
SPEAKER_01: I think a lot of people were in the state.
30:12
SPEAKER_01: And uh man, it was really looking like it was gonna happen there for a minute, and you know, Southern, they just just couldn't hang on, and uh I was disappointed.
30:22
SPEAKER_01: So I don't think I really have a dog in the fight at this point, but um I'll I'll still watch it because I enjoy watching it.
30:28
SPEAKER_02: But yeah, um, I was really hoping, like you just said, for the Mississippi 3P with Southern.
30:33
SPEAKER_02: And like I said earlier, I feel like uh it was awesome that Southern Mist got the host.
30:38
SPEAKER_02: I thought that was to their advantage, but I really feel like the weather played in the um, you know, that having to uh Tennessee obviously being an SC, they're a stronger, better team, pretty much, and and having to play back to back just like that, not having at least a good night's sleep to recover and all that and play another game.
30:58
SPEAKER_02: I think that was a disadvantage to Southern Miss, and uh, and they did.
31:01
SPEAKER_02: They end up losing that game.
31:03
SPEAKER_02: And and then obviously they lost the last the the final one.
31:07
SPEAKER_02: But I just feel like it would have been a different story if the weather, I'm that's not an excuse by any means.
31:11
SPEAKER_02: I'm not making an excuse, but I feel I do, in my opinion, I feel like it would have been a different story if they had had a game on three straight days.
31:18
SPEAKER_02: I feel like that that back-to-back games, like finishing up back-to-back games, uh was not good for them.
31:25
SPEAKER_02: But hey, look, what a what a run uh for Southern Miss Scott Barry.
31:29
SPEAKER_02: That guy's an awesome dude.
31:30
SPEAKER_02: Uh um, I feel like you know, he now I really wanted him to end it in.
31:35
SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh, that would have been a perfect, perfect story for him.
31:38
SPEAKER_02: But uh Josh, Southern Miss is going in the right direction.
31:41
SPEAKER_02: The the I think they hired their pitching coaches, their new coach.
31:44
SPEAKER_02: So I think they're gonna and just look at it.
31:46
SPEAKER_02: I heard about it the other day about the budget that Southern Miss Athletics is compared to Tennessee.
31:51
SPEAKER_02: It's like night and day difference.
31:52
SPEAKER_02: And Southern Miss is hanging with all.
31:54
SPEAKER_02: I mean, heck, they they beat State and Ole Miss regularly in baseball.
31:57
SPEAKER_02: So I mean they're hanging with SEC teams, and um, they I mean they had a shot, they they definitely had a shot.
32:03
SPEAKER_02: So uh, but yeah, I unlike you have no dog in the fight.
32:06
SPEAKER_02: I guess I hope LSU wins.
32:07
SPEAKER_02: Uh they're my next favorite team.
32:09
SPEAKER_02: College baseball has I've been.
32:11
SPEAKER_02: Uh Florida, I'll be fine with that too.
32:13
SPEAKER_02: Um, but man, that first uh opening game today, Oral Roberts and uh how'd they get in?
32:18
SPEAKER_02: Like what Oral Roberts?
32:20
SPEAKER_02: Oma.
32:21
SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, so I I don't know, but Paul Skeens, gosh, if you haven't watched LSU baseball, watch that guy pitch.
32:28
SPEAKER_02: He is he's the best college baseball pitcher I think I've ever seen.
32:32
SPEAKER_02: Just un unbelievable.
32:33
SPEAKER_02: Matter of fact, I heard if he gets drafted, there's a good chance he'll be a September call up this year, which is unheard of to play college baseball and make it to the big year.
32:43
SPEAKER_02: That's that's that's a true talent, right there.
32:45
SPEAKER_02: And yeah, uh, he's he's the real deal and Dylan Cruz.
32:49
SPEAKER_02: But I think LSU LSU has bullpen issues, obviously.
32:52
SPEAKER_02: I mean, Mississippi State.
32:54
SPEAKER_02: And uh I'm afraid that they can get they get schemes going, you know, they're gonna win that game.
32:59
SPEAKER_02: But after that, I'm not so sure.
33:01
SPEAKER_02: So I wouldn't pick them to win it all, but unless their bullpen improves drastically.
33:06
SPEAKER_02: Uh, if I had to pick take a pick though on the World Series, I'd probably pick Florida.
33:10
SPEAKER_02: They're swinging the bats, they're really good all around.
33:13
SPEAKER_02: And uh, but Wake Forest, they have that number one seed, but that's kind of a curse.
33:18
SPEAKER_02: You know, you get that number one seed, all these teams have had it, and they always that's kind of a curse.
33:24
SPEAKER_02: You don't want it.
33:24
SPEAKER_02: So this might be the year that the one seed wins it in Wake Forest because they're really dang good, but yeah, they are.
33:31
SPEAKER_02: So I don't know.
33:32
SPEAKER_02: It is it'll be interesting to see what happens.
33:34
SPEAKER_02: But uh, I'm glad World Series here.
33:36
SPEAKER_02: I just wish uh I wish we had uh had a Mississippi team in there.
33:39
SPEAKER_01: Same here.
33:40
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean I'm I think I'm going with Wake Forest.
33:43
SPEAKER_01: That's kind of been my feeling.
33:44
SPEAKER_01: I they uh I was watching them play this past weekend and they were kind of letting Alabama hang in there for a little while, and then man, all of a sudden they turned it on, man.
33:53
SPEAKER_01: They turned it on.
33:55
SPEAKER_01: They sure did it.
33:57
SPEAKER_01: I don't know, pitching matters at that point.
34:00
SPEAKER_02: So right, right.
34:02
SPEAKER_01: Yep, yeah.
34:03
SPEAKER_02: And then uh and then and then, real quick before we end, uh I have to ask your thoughts.
34:07
SPEAKER_02: Uh, what do you think of the 2024 uh SEC uh football announcements schedule?
34:11
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I'm I'm excited about it.
34:13
SPEAKER_01: I mean, you know, you said we're not playing Auburn, Alabama, LSU, right, you know, that that year, and I don't have a problem with that.
34:20
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I've heard I've heard people complain saying, Oh, states road games are so hard.
34:24
