Speaker 2: they need water to kind of kick into gear. I
3:06
Speaker 2: don't know what the hell's going on in Florida, but

5:24
Speaker 2: needed an extra an extra dose of caffeine this morning.
5:29
Speaker 2: It was NonStop. The older that I get, the more
5:36
Speaker 2: that I feel it. I'm embracing this. I accept this
5:42
Speaker 2: that the joints are going to be a little stiffer,
5:46
Speaker 2: especially when you've been in the car for a couple
5:48
Speaker 2: of hours and you get out. When you step out,
5:51
Speaker 2: it takes you, you know, good five to ten minutes
5:54
Speaker 2: to just stand there and get your your knees stable
5:59
Speaker 2: underneath before you start taking a walk across the parking lot.

29:14
Speaker 2: stereo wherever, until you've experienced them in concert. It is
29:20
Speaker 2: a completely different experience. Damn right, I'm going to give
29:30
Speaker 2: you some crap. You didn't invite me at all, some
29:34
Speaker 2: friend you are Vermont News over the weekend. We have
29:44
Speaker 2: a Lindonville man facing multiple charges after an hours long
29:49
Speaker 2: standoff with the Vermont State Police in Barton on Sunday yesterday,
29:54
Speaker 2: twenty six year old Wyatt Gillman from Lyndonville. Vermont State
29:59
Speaker 2: Police responded after reports that he was armed and barricaded
30:04
Speaker 2: again this just happened in Middlebury. Standoff last for several
30:09
Speaker 2: hours before members of the Vermont de Police Tactical Services
30:13
Speaker 2: Unit were able to take him into custody. No law
30:16
Speaker 2: enforcement officers or members of the public were injured. This
30:20
Speaker 2: is just the skinny facts here on this story. He's
30:23
Speaker 2: facing multiple criminal charges, including allegations related to the incident
30:29
Speaker 2: that led to the standoff. He's expected to appear in court.
30:32
Speaker 2: Don't know when. Can't wait to hear more about this.
30:36
Speaker 2: Will he get a slap on the wrist? We'll see,
30:43
Speaker 2: won't we. Police are investigating stolen mail in Vernon, searching
30:53
Speaker 2: for whoever stole a large quantity of mail after a
30:57
Speaker 2: bag containing stolen mail was discovered inver and investigators are
31:01
Speaker 2: asking anyone with info to come forward. If you're going
31:05
Speaker 2: to steal stuff, if that's your mo a bag of mail.
31:13
Speaker 2: Do you really want everyone else's bills and medical notices
31:21
Speaker 2: and junk mail? Let's see what else do we have?
31:26
Speaker 2: Home Share Vermont is back in the headlines. Rick Sungary,
31:29
Speaker 2: who was just on the air with me a couple
31:30
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. Growing demand, the nonprofit program that matches
31:36
Speaker 2: homeowners with people looking for affordable housing, says requests for
31:39
Speaker 2: assistance continue to rise as Vermont's housing shortage persists. As
31:50
Speaker 2: I saw a post from someone over the weekend that said,
31:57
Speaker 2: building homes creates greenhouse gases? Do we really want to
32:07
Speaker 2: continue building more homes? The America two point fifty locomotive
32:22
Speaker 2: was unveiled over the weekend, celebrating the nation's two hundred
32:28
Speaker 2: and fiftieth anniversary. The commemorative engine is going to operate
32:33
Speaker 2: throughout the region. I don't know where. I hope the
32:36
Speaker 2: Vermont Rail System has probably got it on their Facebook page.
32:40
Speaker 2: I'd like to look at this and find out more.
32:41
Speaker 2: I'd like to at least see the thing. I don't
32:44
Speaker 2: know if the public is invited to hop on board
32:47
Speaker 2: this thing or not, but it would be cool as hell.
32:53
Speaker 2: National news and we've probably heard the mystery surrounding the
32:58
Speaker 2: outbreaks of explosive diarrhea. The parasite and I'm sorry to
33:09
Speaker 2: say this, but these two words go with the story
33:14
Speaker 2: taco and the word bell. Over the weekend, the case
33:24
Speaker 2: appears to have been cracked kind of. Here's what we know.
33:32
Speaker 2: US officials have linked Tailor Farms, a plant in Mexico
33:41
Speaker 2: to this. The parasite causes severe illness, vomiting, cramping, and yes,
33:51
Speaker 2: not just diarrhea, explosive diarrhea. Make sure you're drinking plenty
34:02
Speaker 2: of fluids always. Tailor Farms issued a recall notifying customers
34:07
Speaker 2: that let Us shipped to twenty seven states may have
34:11
Speaker 2: been contaminated, and that led us that Tailor Farms ships
34:18
Speaker 2: includes Taco Bell locations in five states. Five Does the
34:29
Speaker 2: story list off the five states, of course not. Instead,
34:43
Speaker 2: much of the product being recalled was sold in larger
34:49
Speaker 2: bags to food service operations like restaurants, not just little
34:55
Speaker 2: taco bells. Many of the bags were iceberg Lettus blended
34:59
Speaker 2: with remain. This is I know, there's a lot of
35:05
Speaker 2: ambiguity here. This is going to be a process. This
35:08
Speaker 2: is not going away at any time soon. Taylor Farms,
35:17
Speaker 2: their own statements are a little confusing. They don't even
35:22
Speaker 2: list the distributors, the stores, the Taco Bells, and the
35:29
Speaker 2: other restaurants that possibly have received these affected lettuce products.
35:41
Speaker 2: And I am curious, why why are they not being
35:47
Speaker 2: held accountable to at least have the information public? Of
35:56
Speaker 2: which five states the Taco bells? Can we just start
36:00
Speaker 2: with there? With the Taco Bells. There's a few retail
36:08
Speaker 2: packages being recalled for possible health risk a few. Walmart
36:18
Speaker 2: is one of them. Apparently, according to the story that
36:21
Speaker 2: I'm seeing this morning, are Walmart's being very proactive in
36:26
Speaker 2: removing their inventory tailor foods. If you're listening this morning,
36:36
Speaker 2: where are the shipments coming from? Where the lots located.
36:46
Speaker 2: The scale of the outbreak is still being determined, they say,
36:54
Speaker 2: but it could be impacting more than five thousand individuals
36:59
Speaker 2: in at least thirty four states. I remember when it
37:03
Speaker 2: was thirteen states, Now it's thirty four. Symptoms typically begin
37:12
Speaker 2: about a week after exposure. Oh that's nice, watery, severe diarrhea,
37:20
Speaker 2: stomach cramps, nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, well,
37:25
Speaker 2: there's one way to shed a few pounds Without treatment.
37:29
Speaker 2: Symptoms can last weeks or even Yes, I'm gonna say
37:34
Speaker 2: it months. The infection is not spread from person to person,
37:41
Speaker 2: usually contracted by eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water.
37:47
Speaker 2: Health officials recommend washing fruits and vegetables thoroughly, although washing
37:56
Speaker 2: is likely not to remove all of the pair sites.
38:02
Speaker 2: So now, before you make that fresh green crispy salad
38:08
Speaker 2: at home, you gotta boil it in water first, which
38:15
Speaker 2: may make it a little limp. I don't know. Avoid
38:19
Speaker 2: recall products if any are announced, Yes, please and thank you.
38:22
Speaker 2: We will contacting a healthcare provider if you develop prolonged diarrhea,
38:30
Speaker 2: as the infection can be treated with prescription antibiotics. I'm
38:36
Speaker 2: calling the doctor at the first sign, not the second.
38:41
Speaker 2: What else is going on in national news? I know
38:44
Speaker 2: I hung out on that story for a long time,
38:46
Speaker 2: but still Trump Media, owner of conservative social media platform
38:58
Speaker 2: truth Social, has reportedly offered Wall Street firms instant access
39:06
Speaker 2: to President Donald Trump's posts for a monthly fee. Of course, Becky,
39:17
Speaker 2: have a seat. Now, I want you to take a
39:21
Speaker 2: guess gu two on how much you think Trump Media
39:31
Speaker 2: is selling all of their posts to Wall Street four
39:40
Speaker 2: per month. It's a monthly subscription one hundred thousand dollars
39:50
Speaker 2: per month. That's a deal. World News. Serious note here.
39:58
Speaker 2: US Central Command completing the ninth consecutive evening of strikes
40:04
Speaker 2: against Iran. As of ten pm last night. Three hour
40:12
Speaker 2: bombing targeted Iranian military command centers last night, air defense
40:19
Speaker 2: and coastal surveillance sites, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites.
40:28
Speaker 2: US military has identified the two American soldiers killed in
40:34
Speaker 2: the missile introne attack on the US position in Jordan,
40:40
Speaker 2: and it's out in the news today. First Lieutenant Tyler
40:46
Speaker 2: James Fihan from Hawaii twenty five years old and Private
40:56
Speaker 2: Isabella Gonzales from Carlton, Texas, nineteen years old. Wow. Social
41:14
Speaker 2: media influencers Enter Tate and his brother Tristan this one
41:20
Speaker 2: I saw. On Saturday night they were arrested in Miami.
41:27
Speaker 2: British authorities announced thirty eight new charges, as well as
41:34
Speaker 2: efforts to extort them or extradite them. I should say
41:40
Speaker 2: they've already been. They've extorted themselves. Look at the seven
41:47
Speaker 2: year span here covering rape and sex trafficking charges as
41:55
Speaker 2: well as crimes related to child sexual abuse images. The
42:00
Speaker 2: UK says four victims are tied to the latest allegations
42:06
Speaker 2: separate from the twenty one charges filed against the brothers
42:09
Speaker 2: last year for crimes related to other unnamed victims. These
42:18
Speaker 2: guys are US and British citizens. Now now they're facing
42:32
Speaker 2: exploitation charges in Romania, where they lived from twenty sixteen
42:39
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty five. Apparently that case is stalled. I
42:49
Speaker 2: can think of a few responses that I have to
42:56
Speaker 2: this story of what should be done with these guys,
43:10
Speaker 2: but i'll just zip it. Why it is, Why and
43:18
Speaker 2: how something like this can continue for so long is
43:23
Speaker 2: baffling to me. Why no one has taken it upon
43:30
Speaker 2: themselves to shut these guys down over all these years.
43:37
Speaker 2: It's it's more than baffling. It's it's I just can't imagine.
43:51
Speaker 2: We're going to talk sports here and we're gonna get
43:55
Speaker 2: a call into the Connecticut Valley Little League who has
44:00
Speaker 2: some really big news in In just a minute, Donna saying, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky,
44:16
Speaker 2: West Virginia, and Ohio are the five states with the
44:20
Speaker 2: lettuce outbreak. Well, there's there's thirty four states, but I
44:26
Speaker 2: think Donna is referring to the five where the taco
44:34
Speaker 2: bells specifically have had problems with their their lettuce aren't real.
44:44
Speaker 2: The Capitol Showplace theater in Montpellier yesterday was packed with
44:51
Speaker 2: hundreds of soccer fans for the free showing of the
44:55
Speaker 2: World Cup. Spain won with a thrilling you're a soccer fan,
45:01
Speaker 2: I guess one to nothing that kind of win during
45:06
Speaker 2: extra time is is it was? It was thrilling. It's
45:11
Speaker 2: just there's just not big numbers here. The one hundred
45:13
Speaker 2: and fifth minute of the game. Saturday's third place game
45:21
Speaker 2: had way more action and we well, of course we
45:26
Speaker 2: watched that England and France, England taking the win six
45:30
Speaker 2: to four, which you know, which is like seven hundred
45:35
Speaker 2: and forty nine to six hundred and thirteen in the NBA.
45:38
Speaker 2: But still, I mean, it was it was amazing to
45:43
Speaker 2: listen to the back and forth and to.
45:49
Speaker 3: It was.
45:49
Speaker 2: It was amazing, even though I mean it was like
45:52
Speaker 2: the tension was so high. Who is going to get
45:55
Speaker 2: the first goal? My god, Spain, second time in history.
46:03
Speaker 2: I'm happy for him. And if you're if you're curious, Sherilyn,
46:10
Speaker 2: my wife from England, who was she going for? Was
46:15
Speaker 2: she going for Spain? And she said before she said,
46:21
Speaker 2: they're just a great team. They're a better team arguably.
46:27
Speaker 2: But Argentina, Man, it's like, as they were saying yesterday
46:31
Speaker 2: on Fox, it's like when you when you think that
46:34
Speaker 2: Argentina is dead and they maybe they looked dead, but
46:38
Speaker 2: they had no shots on coal for Spain, none, not
46:43
Speaker 2: one but blocked. What was it, Martinez ten? I think
46:47
Speaker 2: it was record for a World Cup final. Something's out
46:55
Speaker 2: of balance there, But what a game, man. And the
47:00
Speaker 2: celebrities that were there at MetLife Stadium or the New
47:07
Speaker 2: York New Jersey Stadium as they kind of weirdly renamed
47:11
Speaker 2: it for the tournament. I still don't understand that, do you.
47:15
Speaker 2: But the celebrities that were there, Matt Damon, Jay Z, Beyonce,
47:20
Speaker 2: David and Victoria Beckham, Kevin Hart, Serena Williams, Adrian Brody,
47:26
Speaker 2: Richard Gere, Trevor Noah was there, Rob Gronkowski and others.
47:36
Speaker 2: I'm just barely scratching the surface here. But Damon seemed
47:40
Speaker 2: to be having a great time, even though the Fox
47:45
Speaker 2: announcer John Strong misidentified him as Brad Pitt. Did you
47:52
Speaker 2: hear that Tom Cruise showing up just to remind us,
47:57
Speaker 2: you know how awesome the World Cup is? Because he
48:00
Speaker 2: was there. Post Malone kicked off the show, Jennifer Hudson
48:05
Speaker 2: saying the national anthem. I thought she did an amazing job.
48:10
Speaker 2: Halftime show, Madonna, Shakira, Justin bieber Bts, even the Muppets
48:19
Speaker 2: showed up. Kermit was there. I'm not kidding. Ms Picky
48:24
Speaker 2: was there, of course with Kermit. It was nice to
48:29
Speaker 2: see Elmo and the Cookie Monster and even the Count.
48:34
Speaker 2: Did you see Did you notice that? Did you see that?
48:37
Speaker 2: Count must have done it for the money. I mean,
48:39
Speaker 2: he can't possibly be a soccer fan. I mean, there's
48:46
Speaker 2: nothing to count. It's just one goal. Uh what else?
48:57
Speaker 2: Vermont's sixth runs, six runs in the first inning and
49:05
Speaker 2: a two hit outing by the pitching staff catapulted the
49:09
Speaker 2: Mountaineers to an eleven to one win over the Newport
49:13
Speaker 2: goals eleven to one Tonight North Adams with the Mountaineers,
49:20
Speaker 2: it's going to be a perfect night at the ballpark
49:23
Speaker 2: Wednesday versus Keene and then Wednesday the twenty ninth, a
49:27
Speaker 2: week later versus North Shore, and that's it for the
49:29
Speaker 2: regular season. Vermont Green FC, advancing to the playoffs, hosted
49:40
Speaker 2: a USL League two Round of sixteen playoff match at
49:45
Speaker 2: Virtue Field on Sunday. Club continued its postseason run after
49:50
Speaker 2: a standout season. If you're paying attention to what's happening
49:57
Speaker 2: in sports, that's really cool. I love to I love
50:00
Speaker 2: to hear stuff like that. Vermont's doing well. The young ladies,
50:10
Speaker 2: dare I say, girls of the Connecticut Valley Little League

Speaker 2: cody a price tag for this kind of stuff.
56:47

57:00
Speaker 4: Right around with food and lodging and fuel right around

Speaker 4: anywhere from twenty to twenty five dollars a player taking
57:08
Speaker 4: them down there, getting lodge.

Speaker 2: whatever it is that they're selling, just throw them a
59:15
Speaker 2: couple of bucks. Let's talk about Uh, coach Downing, what
59:22
Speaker 2: what a guy? I mean? This is someone who loves
59:25
Speaker 2: this game so much. All he thinks about, uh, all
59:30
Speaker 2: year long is softball and coaching these girls.
59:34
Speaker 3: That's it. Yeah.
59:37
Speaker 4: Uh, he's definitely a good wing man to have inside
59:41
Speaker 4: the dugout.
59:42
Speaker 3: Keeps me levelheaded at times.
59:46
Speaker 4: And uh yeah, just the love for the sport and
59:48
Speaker 4: it shows that shows, you know, when he's on the field,
59:51
Speaker 4: and it shows through both of his girls too. So
59:55
Speaker 4: he's a great, great wing man to have in the dugout.
59:57
Speaker 4: And uh he just you know, great asset to the team.
1:00:02
Speaker 2: I think. And you've been a coach where tell us
1:00:07
Speaker 2: about the other teams that you've been the coach of.
1:00:10
Speaker 4: So I I'm actually an assistant coach through our little
1:00:15
Speaker 4: league team, the Hawkeye. So I coach with two other
1:00:20
Speaker 4: coach Cassie and coach Mike with them and then we
1:00:25
Speaker 4: actually started a ten U eight zero two travel team
1:00:29
Speaker 4: this year, which has been all kinds of fun with
1:00:35
Speaker 4: some of the other girls on the team as well, so.
1:00:39
Speaker 3: So collectively been I've been coaching.
1:00:42
Speaker 5: For five years, five years now, and it's just it's
1:00:47
Speaker 5: just growing, you know, with there's always love of the
1:00:51
Speaker 5: sport and you know now my love of the sport
1:00:53
Speaker 5: because of her love of it.
1:00:55
Speaker 3: We're just always looking for opportunities.
1:00:57
Speaker 2: So there's a huge, huge commit meant involved in taking
1:01:02
Speaker 2: things to the next level here. Time commitments, travel commitments.
1:01:07
Speaker 2: I mean, these girls are practicing like what every day,
1:01:11
Speaker 2: five days a week, six days a week, something like that.
1:01:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, ever since the.
1:01:17
Speaker 4: We they made the team, it's been it's been five
1:01:20
Speaker 4: days a week, five sometimes six days a week.
1:01:25
Speaker 3: Every day for an hour and a half, they're on that.
1:01:28
Speaker 2: Field, whether the sun is shining or not, whether it's
1:01:33
Speaker 2: eighty five or not. Correct, that's it.
1:01:36
Speaker 3: We practice in the rain because we play in the rain.
1:01:39
Speaker 2: Love that you know, there's is You and coach Downing
1:01:44
Speaker 2: are well aware there is something that's going on here
1:01:47
Speaker 2: that is a whole hell of a lot bigger than
1:01:51
Speaker 2: just the game of softball. These kids are learning patience, determination,
1:02:00
Speaker 2: team work. They understand that they they may be the
1:02:06
Speaker 2: star for one play, but no one's the star of
1:02:12
Speaker 2: the team. They have to work together. There has to
1:02:15
Speaker 2: be connectivity for them to have success.
1:02:20
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:02:20
Speaker 4: Absolutely, we talked about it all the time. You know,
1:02:25
Speaker 4: there's eleven people behind you, whether next pitch, next strike,
1:02:28
Speaker 4: next out, there's eleven other girls behind you to make
1:02:33
Speaker 4: this happen, you know, and we talk about it all
1:02:36
Speaker 4: the time. Being able to overcome and do tough things,
1:02:41
Speaker 4: it's a life skill.
1:02:42
Speaker 3: I think that they.
1:02:45
Speaker 4: Are going to carry on for a long time being
1:02:47
Speaker 4: able to to overcome things that are going to be
1:02:51
Speaker 4: really really hard. Up in the championship game, for example,
1:02:56
Speaker 4: second inning, we gave up our first run of the
1:02:59
Speaker 4: tournament and it was pouring rain, and all the girls
1:03:05
Speaker 4: kind of came in and like, I don't know what
1:03:06
Speaker 4: we're gonna do, but we went made it through the
1:03:09
Speaker 4: rain delay and made it made it through it.
1:03:13
Speaker 3: But you know, they didn't hang their head.
1:03:16
Speaker 4: They just came together and really brought each other up
1:03:20
Speaker 4: and figured out how they were going to get through,
1:03:22
Speaker 4: you know, some tough, tough conditions and and make it happen.
1:03:26
Speaker 2: Listen, I don't I don't. I don't want you to
1:03:29
Speaker 2: feel like I'm asking you to single out anybody, But
1:03:33
Speaker 2: is there a player, Is there one girl that you
1:03:37
Speaker 2: would love to give a shout out to? A member
1:03:40
Speaker 2: of the team that has been awakened to a new
1:03:47
Speaker 2: reality of like, oh my god, I can do this.
1:03:51
Speaker 2: I really didn't think I could, but look at what's happening.
1:03:55
Speaker 2: There's been a change in one kid in particular.
1:04:02
Speaker 6: I think I think for all my minors, my minor
1:04:05
Speaker 6: girls as a whole have really like just super rise
1:04:10
Speaker 6: to the occasion. No Bailey, may Addie, all those all
1:04:18
Speaker 6: those miners, Wren, all those those minor girls are really
1:04:23
Speaker 6: stepped to the challenge because in regular season it's it's
1:04:27
Speaker 6: not like All Stars. It's you know, it's a little
1:04:29
Speaker 6: bit slower paced, you know, no stealing at home.
1:04:32
Speaker 3: So there's a little bit of a rule change.
1:04:34
Speaker 4: And then when they get into All Stars, we just
1:04:36
Speaker 4: pump them with a bunch of information and then they've
1:04:39
Speaker 4: gotta they've got to adapt quick, and they really really
1:04:43
Speaker 4: have shined through.
1:04:45
Speaker 2: I love this man. This is the kind of stuff
1:04:47
Speaker 2: that it's just it's what blongs on the air more
1:04:51
Speaker 2: than anything else. I just I love the fact that
1:04:55
Speaker 2: these kids are living life and they've got some outstanding
1:04:59
Speaker 2: adults behind them that are making sure that they're going
1:05:03
Speaker 2: to go as far as they can. This is so cool, Cody.
1:05:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really It's really cool.
1:05:08
Speaker 4: And as much as much credit as I love to
1:05:11
Speaker 4: give to my daughter you're throwing, there is also a
1:05:15
Speaker 4: super important kiddo like Ivy down and behind the behind
1:05:19
Speaker 4: the dish every day. I don't love catching for my
1:05:22
Speaker 4: kid anymore. Yeah, it's not fun for me, but she's
1:05:26
Speaker 4: back there. She's a wall and those two as a
1:05:29
Speaker 4: dynamic are just awesome.
1:05:31
Speaker 2: I've seen it. I've seen it many times. Actually, the
1:05:35
Speaker 2: the the synergy between the two of them and Ivy, man,
1:05:39
Speaker 2: she is just just a tip of the hat to
1:05:43
Speaker 2: to Jody. I mean, Ivy is just I wouldn't want
1:05:48
Speaker 2: to be the catcher either. Dirt in the eye constantly.
1:05:52
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, no, she's really and always does it with
1:05:56
Speaker 4: a smile on her face.
1:05:57
Speaker 2: I know it in the heat, you know, crouching down,
1:06:01
Speaker 2: getting up, crouching down, getting up, and paying attention, uh
1:06:05
Speaker 2: to to what's happening out there on the on the field.
1:06:08
Speaker 2: It's not just catching the ball. No, amazing Cody, thank

1:06:39
Speaker 2: going to happen in New York City, who knows, But
1:06:44
Speaker 2: just the fact that they've made it this far is
1:06:48
Speaker 2: so special. And please be on the lookout for them. Fundraising,
1:06:54
Speaker 2: whether it's a bake sale, whether it's just a donation
1:06:59
Speaker 2: that you can make, even five ten bucks is going
1:07:02

1:07:24
Speaker 7: Oh. Absolutely, How how has.
1:07:28
Speaker 2: This this season been for you? You you have watched
1:07:33
Speaker 2: these kids grow significantly in a short period of time,
1:07:38
Speaker 2: practicing every single day. Unreal, man, Oh.
1:07:43
Speaker 7: It's incredible.
1:07:45
Speaker 8: I mean the time and afric these girls put in
1:07:47
Speaker 8: to do this is something else.
1:07:52
Speaker 2: Tell me about this? Uh this coming Friday, you guys
1:07:55
Speaker 2: are are putting it in gear and you're headed to
1:07:58
Speaker 2: New York City.
1:08:00
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think we're headed out Friday morning. We have
1:08:02
Speaker 8: a coaches meeting Friday afternoon in Scotaten Island.
1:08:07
Speaker 7: We'll have a big deal for the girls in US.
1:08:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, this really is And what do you what are
1:08:11
Speaker 2: you saying to these kids? I mean, you've always got
1:08:16
Speaker 2: some pretty choice words for teaching them something beyond the
1:08:21
Speaker 2: just the sport of softball. But what do you what
1:08:23
Speaker 2: are you telling them? What are you and Cody both
1:08:25
Speaker 2: telling them about the caliber of talent that they're going
1:08:30
Speaker 2: to be going up against in New York City?
1:08:33
Speaker 8: Patients, I'll be smart, make good decisions. Some of the
1:08:39
Speaker 8: girls have seen some of the pitching and some haven't,
1:08:44
Speaker 8: so it should be fun for him.
1:08:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're all right up there around what fifty to
1:08:52
Speaker 2: maybe sixty mile an hour pitches. You might you might
1:08:55
Speaker 2: strengthen it.
1:08:57
Speaker 8: I think we have a phenom Zoe and Cody's daughter.
1:09:02
Speaker 8: That kid throws the ball hard. So I don't think
1:09:06
Speaker 8: we're going to see any better pitching than her down there.
1:09:08
Speaker 8: But some of our younger girls haven't seen that face.
1:09:13
Speaker 2: Not what are you saying, win or lose? Just enjoy
1:09:19
Speaker 2: the experience, enjoy the time.
1:09:21
Speaker 8: I mean, that's what we're going down for. If we
1:09:24
Speaker 8: win two games, it's a win for us. I mean,
1:09:28
Speaker 8: it's a win.
1:09:30
Speaker 7: There is.
1:09:32
Speaker 2: Cody was just kind of alluding to the butterflies are
1:09:35
Speaker 2: going to be flying, man, I mean, these girls will
1:09:37
Speaker 2: will definitely have the jitters. What are you going to
1:09:40
Speaker 2: say to them?
1:09:42
Speaker 7: Oh? Boy, that's that's hard. I mean, I'm not going
1:09:46
Speaker 7: to sleep all week, and I'm sure Cody's not. Just
1:09:51

1:09:56

1:09:59
Speaker 2: There's gonna be enjoy it.
1:10:01
Speaker 7: Take it in aask, enjoy it.
1:10:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys are trying to do some fundraising here
1:10:06
Speaker 2: to to foot the bill, which is not going to

Speaker 2: be cheap to bring all these girls food, food and
1:10:12
Speaker 2: lodging and transportation and registration fees and everything that goes
1:10:17
Speaker 2: along with this. But there's can be baked sale today,
1:10:20
Speaker 2: I understand over at the Waits River General Store.
1:10:23
Speaker 7: I think so.
1:10:24
Speaker 8: I think it's either at the Waits River store or
1:10:26
Speaker 8: the East Print store.
1:10:27
Speaker 7: I mean they're pretty close.
1:10:30
Speaker 2: Will you will you be baking in anything?
1:10:35
Speaker 1: Uh?
1:10:35
Speaker 7: Probably not on an official Caste task there.
1:10:39
Speaker 2: So yeah, exactly how many brownies do you think you're
1:10:44
Speaker 2: gonna put down in a thirty minute span?
1:10:48
Speaker 7: I mean, I'd probably give Joey Chess not a run
1:10:50
Speaker 7: for his money.
1:10:55
Speaker 2: Listen, get out and support these girls. Get on the
1:10:58

Speaker 7: Oh I am. It's yes, super happy, super excited.
1:11:35
Speaker 8: And if anybody sees these girls, give them a high five,
1:11:38
Speaker 8: a pat on the back, say congratulations. Yeah, because they
1:11:41
Speaker 8: put in so much work, practicing every day, every day,
1:11:46
Speaker 8: listening to Cody and I all the time, it's awesome.
1:11:50
Speaker 2: Well, just listening to you would would be enough for me.
1:11:54
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. You you guys, don't you guys,
1:11:58
Speaker 2: you're not real easy on these on these girls. You're
1:12:01
Speaker 2: not one of these coaches that's like, all right, it's
1:12:04
Speaker 2: eighty three degrees. Practice is canceled.
1:12:09
Speaker 7: No, because they play in it. I mean.
1:12:14
Speaker 8: They're not going to cancel a game because of heat.
1:12:18
Speaker 8: So it's just, you know, drink more fluids when it's hot.
1:12:21
Speaker 8: We're easier on him.
1:12:22
Speaker 7: There's a lot more water breaks, shade breaks.
1:12:26
Speaker 2: Tody says, you guys even practice in the rain.
1:12:29
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, we played in the rain. We played Saturday
1:12:32
Speaker 8: State championship game in the rain. We gave up her
1:12:34
Speaker 8: only run of the tournament. It was pouring.
1:12:39
Speaker 2: What happened? What happened when you gave up that run?
1:12:44
Speaker 8: Oh we went on the rain bait break. We came
1:12:46
Speaker 8: in the dugout. The girls are like a swater run.
1:12:50
Speaker 8: What are we gonna do a little pep talk. I
1:12:54
Speaker 8: don't think any of them are down about it. I
1:12:57
Speaker 8: think they were okay with it, and they came out
1:13:01
Speaker 8: after the rain delay and got the job done.
1:13:04
Speaker 2: It's it's not about making a mistake. It's about learning
1:13:08
Speaker 2: the mistakes. And that's something I think you've pushed harder
1:13:12
Speaker 2: than any any coach I've ever known.
1:13:16
Speaker 7: And that's yeah.
1:13:18
Speaker 8: You want the girls to do their first instinct, throw
1:13:21
Speaker 8: the ball, and if that's wrong, we'll correct it later.
1:13:27
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's.
1:13:28
Speaker 2: Awesome, coach. Great job, man, congratulations on making it this far.
1:13:34
Speaker 2: We're gonna be doing all we can. We're gonna be
1:13:36
Speaker 2: supporting you know, We're gonna be talking about you on
1:13:38
