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

  Speaker 2: Studs out there, well, he can't say he can't.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: And we can't even ask that. We just say, we're

  Speaker 2: A lot of good players out of that, A lot
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: of good players in that area. Arizona baseball solid. Oh yeah,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: it's a nice deal. Out so Ian I coached at
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: University of Missouri.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Ian Kinsler was on the first team that I coached
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: and what years in Missouri? Yeah, ninety is a player
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: and then I was there until eleven as a coach.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Were you there with?
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Uh, that's why we're gonna bring up bro So as
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: a coach hype recruiting story. He doesn't know you said
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: his name. I wasn't gonna say this. I was gonna
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: go fast forward.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: We can bleeve. We can bleep that out too. The
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: reason we bleep it out here's why. So his dad
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I'm very familiar. I'm very familiar with that family. His
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: dad was my football coach growing up. He would was
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: a stud player in high school. I'm sure, like obviously
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: he went and pitched at MISSOO, But basically I was
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: like in fourth, fifth, sixth grade, just terrorizing the fields
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: of Bonte Missouri. I mean I was a savage and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: uh and uh every Friday or if it was a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Saturday day game, Uh, his dad would take me. He
• 13:51
  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
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: good football team too. But it was like that dude
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: in high school or believe or is that that dude
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: in high school? Now what you said?
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: He was that dude in high school? Like as a
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: player or was he like slamt what we talking about here?
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: As an athlete. He's a good football player, good baseball player, small,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: smaller to could sling it like you wouldn't think he
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: could sling it. I have a fastball and stuff because
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: he's not tall and linking and all that. But he
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: was just a stud, stud person that he had like
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a he had a story that we can Yeah.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I mean you asked coach Hype about a recruiting story.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I was fortunate enough to be listening in, and I
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: immediately thought, because you were the one asking the question,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: well I got a recruiting story for you.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Because I'm really young.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I I begged the coach to let me be the
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: volunteer coach, you know, just unpaid coach, and after a
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: year a recruiting coordinator leaves and I eventually get the
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: job at a really young age, don't know what I'm doing,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: and I take the baton from him. From this kid
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: we're recruiting, He's like, the first thing you need to
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: do is kind of finish the task getting this guy committed.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: So I don't want to say he's the first player
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: I recruited because I don't want that label.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: But he went to that high school North County. You're
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: the one saying his name, so he was a part
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: of You're the one saying his name was He was a.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Part of the first recruiting class we ever had, along
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: with Max Scherzer and some other study Max actually threw
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: a combined no hitter against Texas Tech.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: The only problem is later in the year stabbed a guy.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Oh Ship, Hey, that was a twist I didn't see.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: And like, no, ship stabbed again.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Well it was like a good slider and like, hey,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: I stabbed with a knife.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: He used to.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: And he stabbed it trying to take a life like
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: a house party right.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, out in the lawn. Fortunately I wasn't there. I
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: was still and that was that was a that was
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: for us.
• 15:46
  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
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: like his dad would say, hey, uh, he would say
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: hang with Wilford day, take me along with him. I'm
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: a younger cat looking up to this dude. So when
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: this all happened, I'm thinking, holy shit.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: And he stabbed the guy, You're like, maybe I gotta
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: stab it.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like if I'm around if I Yeah, I'm saying
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: if I'm around him in high school, I'm like, as
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: a young kid, I'm wanting to think, oh, he's like
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: an older brother type guy to where I can fit
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: in and hang around everybody else.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, So he was at a house party and he
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: stabbed somebody. Yeah the person the person. The person did
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: not die, No, they did not. And the altercation was
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: over a girl.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I think, so gotta assume I can't. Like it's kind
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: of getting away from me, and there's beverages.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: It was one of those deals where this is the
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: main house party, but there's kind of some offset ones,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: you know, where you cross the street, and so there
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: was some sort of back and forth between a house.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what, that's a tragic deal. Fortunately
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: the person didn't die. We're at University of Texas and
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: we get a big third out and our guys are
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: hooting and hollering out of the dugout and it kind
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: of gets quiet for a second, and some old fan
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: for Texas goes, which one of you boys now and
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: there stabbed that poor kid. And he's sitting on the
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: bench or he's there in the dug point.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: He had been excuse me, it is later in the year,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: and just like he was excused, he was pulled out
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: of his ass, was pulled out of there. That poor
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: that poor boy. And uh it. It was comedy in
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: a in a weird way. So yeah, uh yeah, like
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: the Joker comedy for sure.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: That's wild.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, that's fucking crazy. But so did he get convicted.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Is he in jail now?
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: No?
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, he's walking among us. Charges were dropped.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: So he really didn't stab somebody, no, allegedly just for
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: the story, just like OJJ never stabbed anybody. Yeah, he's
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: having a good old time right now. Yeah.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you he's a stud I'm talking engineers,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: very smart. I mean, he recruited him.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: He got away with almost murder. Yeah, he's very small boy.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure he did. Allegedly he didn't murder anybody.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: What a fucking story man?
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Did recruit Aaron Blunt? Yeah, he was a stud just
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: he was. He was. He was one of those cats.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: He was a lefty lank. He was a stud, but
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: just didn't want those dudes, just like he had a
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: huge opportunity and that he was like a he was
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: like a too cool of a guy, like went too hard,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: partied way too hard, way too much. It didn't really
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: pan out that information ahead of time. I would have
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: if you would have recruited me to play baseball at Missoon. Apologies, No,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I mean I played baseball growing up. I wasn't at
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: this level that there. I mean I wasn't a d
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: one baseball player. Worked out pretty well for you, Yeah, yeah,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: we chose the right sport.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: We played at the.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Old Nebraska Baseball Stadium the last year was there. It
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: was a piece of crap and it was next right
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: next to the football stadium.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And we pulled.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Into the parking lot and we were able to sneak in.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: We were waiting for the coaches to meet coach Da
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Van Horns, a legend. He was there at the time.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: I worked for him at Arkansas and we're waiting on
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: the coaches to decide if we're going to play or
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: not in the rain, and we snuck into the football
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: stadium and played. We had an empty soda bottle and
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: we played like a kind of I mean, we wanted
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: to play in that place. The history was insane.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, especially for guys at our age levels.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Dude, what a small world, What a small world talking
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: just I'm just but yeah, Bonti Missouri the place. I mean,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I wish Aaron would have been a He was a
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: stud now now I'm just yeah, he was awesome. I
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: just feel like, in my opinion, he probably party too hard.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: You might know more once he got to college, but
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: he was just a study. He was like an All
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: American in high school. He could sling it, bro, he
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: could hit, he could do all this stuff lefty, so
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: you know, he had movement on the ball. You know,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: you know all the language. I don't know all the language,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean it's some.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it's interesting.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: A lot of guys, you know, maybe follow the Tom
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Brady method and never eat a carb or any of
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: that thing.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: But I gotta believe Tom Brady moment. Yeah, when Tom
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Brady comes on, we have.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: To take a Yeah, we take it. We take a
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: moment of silence.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Well, you gotta be able to manage that deal. I mean,
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: you gotta be able to have fun, but you also
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: got to be able to handle business. Yeah, it's been
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: interesting coaching some guys that maybe can't do both and
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: other guys, you know, are good at keeping everything organized.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Handling it.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Now, can you usually tell when you're in a recruiting
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: process and you hear things about kids like, oh, hey,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: this kid likes to get after it a little bit.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Does that worry you or you kind of like, I
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: just gotta sure I keep an eye on this kid
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: once he gets here. Yeah, no, I don't mind using
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the kid's name.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Nick Schmidt was a kid in high school from Saint
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Louis and every time I called him, he was at
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: a part like maybe it was just a basement with
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: twelve but there was always girls and guys in the background,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: and he was kind of that personality. It was my
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: first year coach when I was young, and he walked
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: by me at the field and I'm supposed to be
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: the coach coach fight Tello and he's the recruit and
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: he smacked me on the ass.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: It's like, what's up, coach, b oh yeah, so hey,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: imagine having that kind of confidence with the coach I know, dude.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: So we passed on Nick Schmidt because of that, or
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: He was the first but well just the whole party
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: of what he was a first rounder, but I was
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I was accurate in my read. He went to Arkansas
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: and a guy named Dave Jornan was a pitching coach
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: and he had to kind of heart to heart with
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: him and basically kind of saved the kid's soul a
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: little like.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I don't think he became you know where.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: He never had another beer or anything, but really kind
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: of got more. So I was kind of accurate in
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: my read, and he went to the right place a
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: lot of times. With the recruiting, it's about ending up
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: with the spot that was meant for you to be at,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: not necessarily the best place in the world.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Whatever helps you sleep for missing on that first round
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the first round.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: He ain't the only one, So yeah, no doubt, that's
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: a wild deal. As far as atmosphere goes, I've been
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I've only been a one college baseball game that was
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: an LSU phenomenal time. I think I'm a big LSU
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: fan because of that. What's the atmosphere like here if
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: stands packed.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: But then after it's bananas. I mean, it's a hornet's
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: nest over there. I think a lot of it has
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: to do with our field. You see where we're at.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: We're kind of landlocked, so everything's real close and quaint
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: if you want to call it that. And then our
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: fan base, you can stereotype. LSU's fan base is gonna
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: tailgate and they're gonna do this and that, and they're
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: gonna have crawfish.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Occajuns do it a little different. They have the
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: open container law. They're allowed to do whatever they want. Yeah,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: And I think each team in our league has phenomenal fans,
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: but they're all again, you could kind of describe them
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: in four or five words and be fairly accurate. And
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: our fans are just rambunctious, maybe more than anybody in
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: the league. I mean, you guys were talking about the
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: 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
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the line a little bit more. Are you watching your life?
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: You're free to say whatever you want. Okay, Okay, I'm.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Gonna go ahead, let it rip the most deadly words
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: and yes.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, we won't tell.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: You'll just be canceled in the morning. Yeah, okay, couple.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Here's what I was thinking when you guys talked about
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: it with coach I is I don't think anyone in
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: the world wants objects thrown at another individual because you
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: never know what crazy thing could happen. But you could
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: see where the fans frustration came from if you were watching.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: So they acted, you know, a little bit out of line,
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: or they acted out of line bottom line. Here's what
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I'll say about ball fans if the if the referees
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: at any point, And again I don't coach football.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know who those guys were, so you can't.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Sue me or that's right, this is clean in the sponsor.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all I had to say was the next thing
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: that's thrown on this field were penalized in Tennessee fifteen
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: yards and no one would have moved an inch.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: That's how our fans are. Yeah, but what about Mississippi
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: fans that might be there'd be like, oh, easy, that's.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: That is that's a good point, that's true.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: But I think they're gonna get a haymaker thrown to
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: the jaw off if they throw something and they next volunteer.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Fans really like that, Hey, that's that Italian.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Baseball bat to the knees, horse head in their bed
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: type mentality. You know what I'm saying. That was my
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: take on it.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's always a counter argument, but that would
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: have been my perfect solution to call me down our
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: fans because they're rowdy, but they don't they they don't
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: want to hurt our team.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I can tell you that. Yeah, Volunteer fans roll deep.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: They were Uh. We were part of the same with
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Barstool with it's like if your seed makes it into
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: the sweet sixteen and basketball that we we you get
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: a certain amount of money. And I we were playing
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Michigan was playing Tennessee, and Michigan beat Tennessee to go
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: in to the Sweet sixteen, and I tweeted something like
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: the haters are sick right now with Juwan Howard slapping
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: the tee I caught I caught fucking hands via Twitter.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I was catching hands left and right now. I was
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: biting the hand that fed me because allbviously a lot
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: of volunteer fans are Tennessee Titan fans, but they go
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: hard in the paint where I almost had an issue,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: like an apology, like, hey, listen, i've you guys rolled
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: deep like that.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: It's impressive, a formal apology, formal like he's the sponsor.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think better than the apology is just wearing
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: that hat. That's a class is nice big time. I
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: was at what was it, Pete's. We're at Pete.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, also great food at Pete's and this kid he
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: asked for a photo and I was like, I love
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: your hat. He's like thanks, and I said, I'll give
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: you a hundred bucks for that hat and he said yup,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: and it was it really was made like that. He
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: took it off his head. I readjusted the hat because
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: the boy's got a bit of a dome, smacked that
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: thing on top and it was. It's been smooth sailing
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: with this hat ever since. Other than hijahan. A couple
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: of your questions as far as like when stadiums go,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: what's in the sec take the volunteers out of it?
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: What's the most hype place to play.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Well, Arkansas was where I worked before I came here,
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: and their fans are like Cardinal fans.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Uh, just they know the game well, they're Saint Louis
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: is really getting lots of shoutouts right now.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a massive, massive stadium. But really, I
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: mean there's other there's other towns that could throw out arguments.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Starkville probably has the second or the first, you know,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: nicest stadium, and then Oxford where we just played. I mean,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: it's not normal to go in there and win and
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin comes and throws out the golf.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Ball and they're they're going crazy.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think he took some heat for that,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: but I think it was all in good fun, right
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: via social media, because he's not scared, and which I will.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: You gotta respect. I respect that.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: It's one of the reasons he's a good coach. I mean,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: you know, he's on the edge at all times, and
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: I guess you're not. You're taking up too much space?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Should we do the Duke Cannon question of the day?
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Home run coat?
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: What is okay?
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: So?
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: What is the home run coat?
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Fan? Question from Jack McPherson Shout outs, Jack, No free
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: shout outs, Coach Eckler, what's the question, Jack, it's it's
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: coming from Jack. It's coming from Jack. Coach. Home run cove. Yeah,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: a coat coat?
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Well, last year if the guys, you know, it all
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: started with the Rangers. I think with Josh Hamplton's on
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: our team. If they hit a double, they would kind
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: of do a sign. And now, all of a sudden,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: I don't think it was a gang sign.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: It was more of just a gesture.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: And uh ever since then, if you hit a double,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: you got to do something, and then it turned into
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Batista's you know, batflip, and now everyone's got to do something.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: They had a home run.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: It seems like so our guys came up with a
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: hat they would wear, which became really popular. The fans
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: wanted to see it stay. This team wanted to be
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: kind of their own team, have their own identity, so
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: they carried over the hat theme but added on to
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: it by having this fur or mink. I've never even
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: touched it. It's got to be nasty by now, but
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: it's a it's a it's a coat. There could be
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: a woman's or a man's coat. You know that you
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: would wear in a seventies gangster party. Yeah, and they
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: throw it on the guy who hit the home run
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: when he does so, he kind of looks, you know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: pimped out or whatever you say, and they love it.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: I think the fans like it. You see little kids
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: wearing these, you know, mocked up coats now, so that
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: is awesome. Yeah, it's something that's unique to their team,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: and the fans have caught on. And again if opponents
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: got things they do when they celebrate nowadays, if you're
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: wasting energy on that, you're you're wasting energy.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: What's the what's the hat? Say?
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Daddy hat?
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Daddy get dad?
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I got a daddy hat? Yeah, there you go, right, Yeah,
• 27:19

• 27:43
  Speaker 1: He's like okay. Yeah. That was it. There was no
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: action made, zero bargain.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: I really feel like I could have got away with fifty.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: But you asked for change and he got it, and
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: it's like it became.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Ask for change.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah it's fifty. I got hundreds on me.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah you know what I mean? Yeah, I could have Yeah.

• 28:22
  Speaker 2: If you're wondering how the smells, it smells, how you
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: look fast?
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, there you go. You like going off of your
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: recruiting stories. Obviously it's hard to it's hard to top
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: the stabbing one, But what else you're telling us about
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a kid getting mugged when you're on a recruiting trip.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Do you have something in the bank that you like
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: to tell outside of what we've already discussed.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a That was a coach one where
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: we sent him to get a gatorad and he never
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: came back.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Poor fella.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Where were you preface? Where were we at?
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: We were at the same place coach I Will said
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: he was at.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I think coach I've said University of Houston. We won't
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: ask at the University.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Got buddy area of Houston. I got buddies that work there.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Actually, that gas station is no longer there in the
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: area has been renovated.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: It's gentrified.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is this is a while back. But no, No,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: recruiting in general is wild. I wish I had one
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: that that really really stuck out. I know, you know,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: for me, it's always interesting when you get the kids
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: on campus and they're walking around and then you know
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: that they go off with the guys, and then the
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: next morning you see who maybe hung out with the
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: guys a little too late at night. And uh, I've
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: been a part of some morning meetings where guys can't
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: stay awake. But nothing nothing sticks out too crazy or
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: where I'd want to throw anyone under the bus. Although
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: mister Surezer, I was not a full time coach when
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: I took him around on his official visit.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: So you were having a little it was half fun,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: half coach. Yeah.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: And so you guys went the Petez Diner. We went
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: to the diner in Columbia, Missouri, which is just the diner. Yeah,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: and that is a lot to be And that's the
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: place that sealed the deal for arguably the best picture
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: in the world.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Seal the deal because of the night you guys had.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, we did. We did have a good one
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Yeah, strippers and cocaine type of vibe
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: or no is that was I was that inappropriate? I
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: don't know, not know it would have been, but I
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: hate strippers.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: It would have been.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: And they made me so uncomfortable anything I've ever been
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: in a strip club. It's like do you want to dance?
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: And it's like not really.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: For a dollar, It's like, oh, you're so cute.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: It's like okay, maybe, but like leave me alone. It's
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: just I feel like I feel like it's when a
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: man comes on too strong, to a woman at a bar.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: It's the same thing. It's like, please let me breathe,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: you know, let me work for it, A little bit
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: type of deal anyway, strippers, Am I right?
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: My question for a uh college World Series? What would
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: you do to bring that to the Tennessee volunteers? What
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: lengths would you go to?
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I do what coach Vrabel did,
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: although I'm I really liked watching him as a player.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: He's all too intense.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: So I don't want to cut off any appendages that
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: i'd like to maybe use.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Italian he's got dark hair is kind of a I mean,
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: he would know he's got the dark hair of the
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: tan skin, the big Yeah, he's got that.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: He does that, and I feel like that's an Italian
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: thing to do.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: But it's also a very Ohio thing to do too.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very smug he he And I feel like he
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: used your appendage much more than Vrabel, do you know
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. He just absolutely putting this guy in
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: a box. He's a playboy. He's just getting after it.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: He Uh. Yeah, he's got a son that's a really
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: good baseball player. Yeah, Carter, Yeah, Yeah, you think he
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: should come here and play. I don't know.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: You know, sometimes it's about body count in recruiting. We
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: we do things so in advance, like Champarrelle, that's way,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: that's young. But he said to school, I would not
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: go Verbel, I'd go Ronnie Lot. I would I would
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: let a finger be taken off yea to.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Go to the mall and his certain finger, like would
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: you go middle? Would you any of them for pinky?
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: I don't want to lose the middle because would you
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: go the pinky cuts off too much?
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: It makes your hand look a way small. I'd probably
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: go ring finger that you keep the whole with.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Yet them in that pink. You could really just do
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: it out really Yeah, I don't know.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: I kind of like this little guy.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: If you're aviad just wearing the ring can put your
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: toes on your thumbs and yeah.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Would you take your thumb off?
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think I go. That takes you down the
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: evolutionary chart.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: You can't do that. No, no offensive thumb.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: With Yeah people, it's a it's a big thing. It's
