17
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.159
you know, this is the eve
of signing day. You know,

18
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.599
we've got a jam packed show.
We've got a very special announcement with some

19
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.120
special guest. You guys are gonna
be waiting on. It's gonna be great

20
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.080
to hear about the special announcement coming
up later on in the show. But

21
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:32.479
on the eve of signing day,
guys, David Stone, let's talk about

22
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.599
twenty twenty four. This does not
impact tomorrow's class at all, but the

23
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.439
traction that Michigan State is getting right
now with David Stone out of IMG Academy

24
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:49.680
from Oklahoma originally is something to be
noted. I'm waiting on JU to say

25
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:55.800
it don't matterus. Wait, you
don't got to answer, yo. This

26
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.800
is the thing. This is the
thing though, Like I'm about detraction that

27
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:06.439
David Stone's gained with Michigan State.
I'm excited about the love affair that's there

28
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.639
between mel and Dave and his family
and Spartan Nation and everything. But the

29
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.960
thing that in the back of my
mind, I'm like, we got a

30
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.319
whole nother year to wait for this. Look at this picture. This is

31
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.159
beautiful. Here listen, you know, great start d lamon right there exactly

32
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:30.319
the snow looks lovely. We we
you know, it will be a big

33
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.080
get for us. It will be
a big get for us, you know,

34
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.159
I'm I'm hoping, you know,
if it continues, you know,

35
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.479
that love affair continues, and it's
gonna be predicated on the season that Michigan

36
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:44.840
State have. If we have another
lackluster season, you know, we could

37
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:46.199
lose you know, a guy like
that. But if we come out,

38
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:51.000
you know, and have a season
like we had a year ago, not

39
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.960
this past season, you know,
that could attract more people and get get

40
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.800
him to come here. So I'm
excited about it. I think he said

41
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:03.000
he will be a great addition to
UH part nation. I'm trying to figure

42
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:08.479
out why we why we're forceful in
getting him to commit, you know,

43
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:14.599
so early. But to your point, Jayu, if he does like that,

44
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.639
next class is about to be We
already got a strong one that you

45
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:23.040
know, you know, we we
we end up mustering and getting those guys

46
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:27.360
in. But when you look at
him, he's the full foundation of the

47
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:31.959
twenty twenty four class. So with
his commitment, brings other four or five

48
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:38.800
stars right, and it almost looks
like he's enjoying himself more than his visits.

49
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:46.519
And for kudos to our equipment staff
Andrew of getting his son hooked up

50
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.160
in there. Because brother brother,
I'm sorry, little brother, My bad,

51
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:54.160
my bad, little brother. But
when you look at it, like

52
00:04:54.360 --> 00:05:00.839
when it's got support already, man, little brother, man little I'm sorry.

53
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.120
But cut as to getting him,
because you know when we came in,

54
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.720
came in like our siblings wouldn't involved
like that, you know, they

55
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:11.120
were just weren't even put the pads
on. We just had a jersey that

56
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.279
was sitting in the locker. Oh
that is true. That's true, an

57
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:19.279
absolutely beautiful picture. It was.
It was it was man, he said,

58
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:24.120
bring the stone home. Man.
You know, I think hopefully with

59
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:28.079
him, it's a commitment. He's
a IMG guy. You know, hopefully

60
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.360
you know that is there kind of
like Jordan Hall, he committed early.

61
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.639
He's stuck with the commitment. Hopefully
that's in the water there and you know,

62
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.560
just they can continue to do that. So if he commits early,

63
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.519
you know it's not a lost cause. You know, it's not like someone's

64
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.959
gonna come in from the woodwork and
try to pull him in with the nil

65
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.079
or different you know, stipulations and
stuff like that. So hopefully it's that

66
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:53.079
same thing, like like Jordan Hall
who had an early commitment, stuck through

67
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.560
the commitment through the bad of this
season and said I'm gonna come in and

68
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.920
be a difference maker. Hopefully that's
his thought process coming into into East Lanton

69
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.600
as well. Straight give us,
give us a breakdown, like you've seen

70
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:08.480
this man close up in person,
Like you know what he does, you

71
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.480
know what he can do, I
guess, give us give us some details

72
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.199
and breakdown of like who he is
as a past rusher, as a as

73
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.839
a young man, because we've like
you said, we stroke, we struck

74
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:23.040
gold on every person we brought in, you know, as a young recruit

75
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.480
coming in and like just talk about
the character, but like tell spartanation,

76
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.079
like who is David Stone? Fully? You know, like from my experience

77
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.120
in watching David Stone, seeing him
and you know, practices games in the

78
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.800
grocery store, I've been around the
kid a lot. Uh. This is

79
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.000
an explosive athlete, There's no question
about it. He call him out six

80
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.439
four to two seven. He's a
little bit like almost six y five type

81
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:46.920
of player, about two hundred and
you know, close to two hundred and

82
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:51.040
eighty pounds, but it's his The
way that he comes off the ball and

83
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:57.319
use his hands and gets off blocks
at this age is what's most impressive to

84
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.600
me. If you look at film
on David Stone, I mean I had

85
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.800
the pleasure of watching him at IMG
Academy where my son is playing on the

86
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.319
defensive side of the ball. He
is just a guy. He's a terror

87
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.839
as an offensive lineman. A former
offensive line myself, I can tell you

88
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:15.759
that this is a guy that you're
gonna have to really double team consistently like

89
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.680
in the pros. This is a
guy, if he continues to progress,

90
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:24.000
will no doubt be a Day one
pick in the NFL draft because of the

91
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.199
way he has the quick twitch and
the ability to have my nose with the

92
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.360
ball. I've seen him have four
sack games. I've seen him make the

93
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:34.639
plays early and late when it counts
in ball games. The kind of character

94
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:41.920
of a player that everybody He's from
Oklahoma. Okay, So right now it

95
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.759
seems to be kind of a two
school race, a two and a half

96
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.120
school race in Oklahoma, Michigan State, and in Miami. You see this

97
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:53.560
quote here says o U Oklahoma University
is like the place where I'm from,

98
00:07:54.079 --> 00:08:01.920
but Michigan State feels like home.
It's him talking to Beyond three staff right

99
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:07.680
now, they show Michigan State is
a fifty two point two leaning crystal Ball

100
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:09.879
versus the forty four for Oklahoma.
So, guys, I mean this,

101
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:15.360
this is the guy that you can
really build around knowing the value of defensive

102
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.879
lineman. If you don't understand value, look at where the NFL picks,

103
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:26.439
Look at Google pay scales for different
positions, and you'll start to get a

104
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.720
compilement pictures where the value is in
the sport of football. And obviously you

105
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:37.039
know quarterbacks number one, but number
two, I mean really close is that

106
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.679
defensive lot because that's what the game
is predicated on, right Fellas, you

107
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.639
need to get a franchise quarterback and
a guy that can rush the passing Yeah,

108
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:50.120
definitely who does who does he?
Does he have that get off like

109
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:58.559
Dryll Worthy? Oh yeah, he's
a I guess a more lean, taller,

110
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.639
more imposent athlete like that like Drell
was low. Now, especially in

111
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:09.360
that one technique, that two I
technique, David Stone's more for for sure

112
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:15.320
three technique because link I would call
Michael Chris Jones from Kansas City he needs

113
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.639
to put on the way obviously,
Chris Jones from Missisippi State, that's the

114
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.200
Kansas City and the perennial All Pro. That's the kind of player that you're

115
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.200
talking about with you do you think
Stone's a guy that can you know,

116
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.480
as a freshman coming and make an
impact right away. Absolutely, there's no

117
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.320
doubt about it. There's not many
offensive linemen in the country, Like,

118
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.679
I don't care what level until you
get to the NFL right now, that's

119
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.080
gonna have an easy time with the
Dayton Stone and so. And this is

120
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.000
why you know, Mel Tucker and
SAYI believe of putting so many resources and

121
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.279
trying to go after David Stone,
and you know, hopefully you know,

122
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.399
I know he has a great relationship
with with BT coach Bren Jordan, who

123
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.919
also has a very close friend that
coaches him daily and he know he coaches

124
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.360
David Stone as well when day even
was back in Oklahoma. That's how by

125
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.320
Job there's a connection with by Job
as well. So look for Michigan State

126
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.600
to leverage those relationships in order to
land David Stone in twenty twenty four.

127
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:15.080
Now say oh you Jay you Boomer
Soonero were sooner coming up north. Maybe

128
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:20.279
that's true, Okay, standard the
people worried. I got people you know

129
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.799
out there talking saying, hey,
you know why, what's what's in the

130
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.200
water in east Lands and that's attracting
these kids you know from here from our

131
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.080
backyard. People are pissed, you
know, in Oklahoma that these homegrown kids

132
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.399
are not staying there. So that's
a testament to what coach Tucker's doing.

133
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.519
That's a testament to bt you know, coming up here and you know,

134
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.799
creating you know, given that light, that these kids can play at the

135
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.080
next level. Because as a coach, what your what your job is is

136
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.080
to prepare your guys for the next
level. You know, if that's what

137
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.240
it is you want to be at
the next level, you want to play

138
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.240
at the next level, Surround them
with people that's going to get you to

139
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.360
the next level. And that's what
Michigan stated, that brought in past rushing

140
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.120
pass rush specialists that can do that. For He's got any d lineman you

141
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.639
know should be locking their chops to
come here because you know, bets he

142
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:13.360
works with the pros and that's where
you want to go, no doubt about

143
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.399
it, man, I mean David
soon. Definitely a heavy target that missi

144
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.120
Cassada is going to continue to pursue. We're going to talk about more of

145
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.559
the prop uh people that in Mississada
are going to be produced pursuing for tomorrow's

146

twenty three, for the national Signing Day.

00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.879
kid that's coming and all the stories
that coach Is has picked up, all

173
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.720
the sayings, all the people he's
been around, talk about his collection of

174
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:52.799
Grandpappy's saints and stories. It's gonna
be absolutely insane. So that's really cool.

175
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.559
So we have to get him on
this inspired or her get her on

176
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:07.279
this aspired about you know it's child
labor laws eighteen years I mean, okay,

177
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.039
the word is that sources the same
time as over sixty eight years old.

178
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:20.000
Now we'll never know, we do
know, we know and co all

179
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.200
right, talking about celebrations, there's
a celebration in Philly for one of Michigan

180
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:31.799
State's own. Josiah Scott is going
to the super Bowl. Fellas man,

181
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:33.039
this is great to see. Like
you know, when he got his first

182
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.919
interception, we covered that and you
almost not say you forgot about him,

183
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.440
but you like he has been consistent
in that secondary of you know, being

184
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:48.399
a vital piece, uh for their
their super Bowl bound team, and so

185
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.919
you know, one, I'm still
mad at our boy Darius lay is going

186
00:14:52.960 --> 00:15:00.840
to the super Bowl when we had
him here in Detroit. But one is

187
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.240
definitely a great, great testament to
his career. But like you know,

188
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.519
it's always good to see a Spartan
dog who's playing that back end secondary.

189
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.759
You know, Coach Barnett, I
know he's happy looking on and Joe side

190
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.679
Scott was, I said just like, Yeah, he was a guy who

191
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.639
was kind of a kind of that
dark as an artist, right, Like

192
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:24.399
he wasn't highly talented coming up,
but the mechanics he was. He was

193
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.080
a guy who stuck to what he
did and and knew and just bought out

194
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.000
man locked down corner. So kudos
to him. Man. I can't wait

195
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.799
to see him play against you know
those Kansas City chiefs. Man. Yeah,

196
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:37.240
yeah, you know, you know
it otis you said, you know,

197
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.879
he's a guy that's kind of like
got forgot about it a little bit

198
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.840
because you don't hear his name.
Sometimes that's a good time, a good

199
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:48.080
thing if you don't hear it secondary
a lot. I means he ain't getting

200
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.200
burt and he ain't get toasted and
stuff like that. So you know,

201
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.279
you know that's exact. You know, happy for the guy. Uh,

202
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.080
you know, you can get an
opportunity to do something where as a kid,

203
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:00.639
you know, you you're playing foot
ball, you you play in the

204
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.759
backyard, you think about raising the
Lombardi Trophy, you think about playing at

205
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.080
that next level, even just playing
in college, and then getting an opportunity

206
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.480
to play in the NFL. And
now you get to the capitaf by winning

207
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.360
a super Bowl. You know,
you have you put yourself in position to

208
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.600
win a super Bowl. That's absolutely
awesome and there's something that nobody can ever

209
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.720
take away from you, and that
that experience itself too. All right,

210
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:27.559
here's the good one right here.
Now. Who had the best postgame celebration?

211
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:34.279
Was it Travis Kelcey on Geroni,
Cincinnati's mayor, or was it gentleman

212
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:42.799
heard singing fly you Goles, Fly
Fly go fly all the road to Dory

213
00:16:45.600 --> 00:17:12.240
fly go fly go two three in
line and why dose does fly? He

214
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:18.000
took the mic from him that that
guy like that was I'm not I'm not

215
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:25.240
otis with the voice. You know, that guy was terrible. That was

216
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:36.240
tone deaf and that was horrible,
terrible. You know it sounds like I

217
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:49.559
can throw down I can't, you
know, Yeah, the right mic forward,

218
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:53.279
man. He took that mic like
man, cut it off, bro

219
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:03.799
like a Jay len Hers, a
guy who was bitched after winning a national

220
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:08.960
title in Alabama, had to transfer
and goes second round and battles his way

221
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.759
into the starting position. Now going
to the Super Bowl. First time ever,

222
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:19.079
too African American quarterbacks face each other
in the Super Bowl fellas. Yeah,

223
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:22.599
it's good. This is good.
It's a great feat. Think about

224
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.359
how far we've come, you know, with the battle of you know,

225
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.480
black quarterbacks playing the game. You
know, I said earlier in the show,

226
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.240
it's about getting the guys ready for
the next level. And a lot

227
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:37.519
of times, you know quarterbacks would
go to college. Black quarterbacks would go

228
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.720
to college and they will be used
for the athleticism and everything like that,

229
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.720
and that stereotype was always you know, a black quarterback isn't smart enough to

230
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:49.279
learn the offense, you know,
but you know, some colleges wouldn't even

231
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:52.480
put them in the under center.
They'll be in the gun all the time

232
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.960
and everything like that. And now
fast forward to where we are now.

233
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.400
The game, the complexity of the
game has picked up even more, so

234
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:03.799
you have to be you know,
smarter, especially with what defenses are trying

235
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.480
to do to you. You have
two three plays called within one you know,

236
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.200
at the line and you break it
down from there. So it's just

237
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.920
a big feat you know, going
forth. You know, now when you

238
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.720
see when you go to camps,
when you go to these rival camps and

239
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.519
stuff like that, and you see
people that look like you, you know,

240
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:21.559
you see you know black kids,
you know playing the quarterback position.

241
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:26.160
Now you know they have a true
shot at the next level. Yeah,

242
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:29.519
that's a good point. Jay.
You know one of those things if you

243
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.079
this is the first time you're seeing
Patrick Mahomes's dad out in the public post

244
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:37.759
game, you know, smoking that
burrow and even like he didn't even cut

245
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:40.720
the cigar to light. He tried
to light the cigar without cutting it.

246
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.279
But you know, from a standpoint
of to your point, Patrick Mahomes,

247
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:52.000
the the performance he put together with
that bomb ankle where he stepped up in

248
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.799
the pocket and through that pass.
You know, you look at greatness man

249
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.319
like he consistently delivers time and time
and and you know that he's gonna give

250
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.920
his all. And so it's gonna
be a great matchup. And I can't

251
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:10.359
wait to break that down before Super
super Bowl Sunday and talk about the matchup.

252
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:15.680
But that matchup is gonna be predicated
on the offensive line. Stray that

253
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:25.680
offensive line up right edge line.
I think that edge goes to Philly's oh

254
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:32.559
line. Why is that because of
Styling University? Yes, Jeff Stotlan,

255
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:37.599
Mian State coach. The reason I
came to Michigan State is because of Jeff

256
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.960
Stoutlin. He's the guy that recruited
me. And then he also got my

257
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.960
mama. This is what this man
did. He called my school and got

258
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:49.000
my schedule and got like everything,
so he knew when I had it.

259
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:52.839
So he will call on a Monday
and be like, hey, you have

260
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:55.759
a social study test on Thursday.
You ready for it? My Mom's like,

261
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:57.519
oh man, he's so into your
education. We going there, you

262
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:02.200
go. That dude had it right. And he's a New Yorker as well,

263
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:07.200
a great dude. He always He's
one of the reasons I learned the

264
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.200
game of football, true, true
and true learned the game of football because,

265
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:14.599
to be one hundred percent honest,
I was not prepared for college.

266
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:18.039
I think I said this on here
one time where I didn't know who the

267
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:19.440
mic backer was. You know,
when I came in, we were in

268
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:22.559
the meeting and it's like Jay Word's
the mic guys, I go, MIC's

269
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:29.440
in the other room. So Stotland
was the one. You know, he

270
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.119
did the extra film setting with me. The lineman had this little square patch,

271
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:37.039
remember that is called the pig Island. Wherefore before turf before they had

272
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:45.759
that turf right, so you know, they'll go over there doing special teams

273
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.279
everything, and if I wasn't on
special, I will be over there with

274
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:51.880
them picking up blitz doing different things. And Stoutland, you know, taught

275
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:55.039
me, you know, different things
about the game, how to read the

276
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:56.400
game, how to break down the
game, how to slow the game down.

277
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.119
And as a running back. If
I took that out of that,

278
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.880
imagine what he is at the position. You know, straight your boys are

279
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:07.119
lineman, you know, if they
have an opportunity to play for someone like

280
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:14.000
Stotland, definitely all pro. Oh
love question, It's just Stotland's that guy.

281
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:15.759
You know you've been around him.
OI, I mean this is this

282
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:22.920
is did do you have a video
of him with Jordan Mariatta Jeff Sttlin University,

283
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:29.359
Jeff Style University. That's mad,
that's mad respect for them to say

284
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:30.880
I'm not going to tell where I'm
from and to give shout out to my

285
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:34.759
hometown. You know, you see
people say my elementary school or you know,

286
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:37.359
my hood, but like Jeff Style
the University, man, like,

287
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.559
I'm only here because this guy is
truly elevating my game. You know,

288
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.240
when you're at that level your skill
set, you're already there, but when

289
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:47.839
you elevate your game, that's more
so the mental piece of the x's.

290
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:51.599
And oh, so you know,
Jeff Stalin also had that stop with our

291
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:56.599
guy Saban down there in Alabama,
and so you know, I wish we

292
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.200
could figure out a ways to get
him up here in the Green and White.

293
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:02.880
He's in the great He's in the
Eagles. He's in the Eagles.

294
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:07.359
Right. Salent's a guy. Salent
a guy that if there's a coaching change

295
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:15.480
the owners say it's yeah, he's
any position coaches out there that have a

296
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.759
deal with the ownership in the NFL
that just does that doesn't happen, Right,

297
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:22.720
That's that One's that guy. I
mean, you look at you know,

298
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:27.200
the tackles you talk about Jordan Maatta
and then they have Lane Lane Johnson

299
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:33.319
is probably a Hall of Fame offensive
lineman and he's played on the right side

300
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.079
of this offensive line, which means
he's kind of, you know, the

301
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:42.079
second best tackle, and he's a
Hall of famer. Jason Kelsey the center,

302
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:45.319
he's going to be a Hall of
Fame player. Also, I mean,

303
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:52.039
this guy prints out Hall of Fame
offensive line because of the technicue teachers

304
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:55.440
and it's this way, Jay.
You just told you. I mean Jay

305
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:57.599
that right there when you said he
called you with the scheduling. Are you

306
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:03.440
ready for city? That embodies what
Jeff Stoytn's about. And and he carries

307
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:08.079
that in every fashion of his life. Great man, you know, pleasure

308
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:11.480
to have him around these lands for
the time we did. Real real question

309
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:18.119
is did Jay he passed that test? Yeah? You don't remember I passed

310
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:23.839
that test. They passed every test. I graduated top twenty in my class

311
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:33.599
when you had a class, I
had twenty five. Come on, man,

312
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.200
And you know, if you look
at Trevor Thompson's comment, just Staland's

313
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:42.440
bio says he mentions Jewish Booker,
which is one of us Spartan dolls,

314
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:48.440
all our Spartan dos, Chris Moores, Kyle Cook, Will Whittaker was that

315
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:55.960
dog. Now he was that dog
Green Bay two, Pey Colts, Kyle

316
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.519
Cook, Cincinnati Bengals, Chris Morris, Raiders. That's a Pittsburgh Steeler,

317
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:04.440
Super Bowl champion. So with the
Eulish book or so on Pig Island.

318
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:08.119
On my time in Pig Island there
Stotland was. You know, I went

319
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.279
up and picked up I picked up
the wrong guy blitzing, and then so

320
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:14.440
he's like, what do you think
you're gonna do? Get two guys?

321
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:15.200
I was like, yeah, you
know, I can post one here.

322
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.119
But he's like, no, the
only person that can ever block two guys

323
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.000
is Uless Booker, and you're nowhere
near him. I was like, you're

324
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:30.680
right. Wow, he said.
Another great Stalin story. He talked me

325
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.880
about what to call blind faith.
You know, you know this trait in

326
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:40.359
the in the blocking scheme if one
guy comes down and the lineman's going to

327
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:42.039
jump that because it's the first thing
inside there, and then you have to

328
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:45.839
go and take this guy out there. Yeah. So I was sitting I

329
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.680
was like, why is it called
blind faith? He's like, do you

330
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:51.440
believe in God? I was like
yeah. He's like do you think there's

331
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:52.599
a god? He's like I was
like yeah. He's like, well,

332
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:55.720
how do you know? Have you
seen him? I was like no.

333
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:57.400
He's like, because you have faith, it's blind faith. I was like,

334
00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:07.119
oh shit, took me to church
on Pig Island. It's blind faith.

335
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.640
That was the call you blind faith, blind faith? Yep, the

336
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.759
lineman doesn't go down there take that, and we just called a squeeze and

337
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:19.000
heavy man. I mean that was
we called it blind faith. We called

338
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:22.079
pizza theory. There's another one pizza
theory that takes If he's like, if

339
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:26.000
we're both eating pizza, if you
eat a piece, I eat a piece,

340
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:27.200
and there's one your piece left and
I eat it, what are you

341
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:32.079
gonna do? You're gonna eat my
piece? Because it's pizza theory. You

342
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:37.880
take mine, I take yours.
That keeps the football. Let me tell

343
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.440
you something offensive line coaches out there. That's how to keep your offensive line

344
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:55.640
engaged about pizza is God? Who
can't you can't you know, you can't

345
00:26:55.720 --> 00:27:04.920
lose pizza. You can't live us. You know. The Chimney oh No

346
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:10.359
was on a visit, an official
visit last week. Now, this is

347
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:15.839
a three starts now four star offensive
tackle, six six, two seventy that

348
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:22.039
that is really considering Michigan State to
sign tomorrow. He has not committed to

349
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.160
anyone as of yet. Gentlemen,
what are your thoughts? I mean,

350
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:33.000
obviously I hope he picks up,
but we hope. I mean, you

351
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:36.440
got to think about you know,
strategically, you have Rutgers. You got

352
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:41.480
there, you got our boy.
Franklin comes Franklin, Penn State, and

353
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:44.839
you got Old Miss. I mean, you know when you look at one

354
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.799
of our Spartan Dog's sons, you
know, committed to Old Miss as a

355
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.400
quarterback and uh. And so it's
one of those things that you know,

356
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.319
demand Williams Junior out of Arizona for
Ole Miss. But you know, for

357
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:03.920
us, I think we have the
most ups sell when it comes to kneeding

358
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.759
offensive lineman, like when he commits
like he can be a fit, like

359
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.640
he can contribute right away. So
out of all those partners, all those

360
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:15.359
schools, I feel like we have
the most upside, upset upside to the

361
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:18.599
point of getting him in here.
And he is a four star. He

362
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:22.519
looks like he has the frame already, he has the body type, and

363
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:26.279
you know, I hope that he
makes a great decision coming up here.

364
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.599
But we shall see. Man,
I don't want to put my eggs in

365
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.200
his basket because they just it just
always disappoint man, because you're thinking,

366
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:36.759
like, oh, I'm leaning that
way, and then I hope he doesn't

367
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:41.400
do us like they did with a
prime in Jackson State, where grabbing all

368
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:44.920
the power fives like oh yeah,
nope, nope, nope, and it

369
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:47.920
gives you the hat with the one
team that does not you. I mean

370
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:51.680
it's almost a bad breakup. So
hopefully he chooses the Green and White.

371
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:55.720
Yeah, definitely in that list there
too. I think if he wants to,

372
00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:59.400
you know, play at the next
level there, his two choices would

373
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:02.640
be. I think it down to
Penn State and Michigan State. Really realistically,

374
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:04.160
you know, if you want to
come and show at certain your dominance

375
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:08.319
a team that's gonna focus on running
the football first to create the past.

376
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:12.519
So I think, you know,
those are the two teams that will be

377
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:17.599
there. But if he wants to, you know, Tucker has that NFL

378
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:22.119
mentality running springball kind of like an
OTAs program, Like I keep going back

379
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:26.079
to put putting the guy's in position
for the next level. If he wants

380
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:29.799
to play at the next level and
want to have that already, go in

381
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.279
knowing what it's going to be like
a little bit, you know, Michigan

382
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:36.680
State's a place to go because he
can come in with our O line,

383
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:38.119
you know, who knows how it's
going to be, the mixing match and

384
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:41.960
everything like that. He could you
know, possibly work himself into the rotation.

385
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:48.640
Yeah, I mean he's a guy
that you know, you you you

386
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.359
hear rumba is that his mother likes
going to be closer to home. He's

387
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:57.240
a he's coast kid. Uh so, But look, you gotta look at

388
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:03.440
overall development and you know, beyond
like the creature comforts of being close to

389
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:11.559
home sometimes and hopefully you know,
look the things that Chris Capillodic coach cap

390
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:15.200
you know, has talked to him
about him, Coach Tuck has kind of

391
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.759
piqued his interest so that he can
come on and sign with us tomorrow.

392
00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:26.400
Also, guys, beyond uh geenie, there's a there was a guy Brendan

393
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:40.720
Digland on a visit. He's like, oh man, that was a complete

394
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:44.960
difference right there. Man, I'm
not try to laugh it, but like

395
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.319
I know he came, But why
why we didn't getting something in the I

396
00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:56.920
thought old lineman didn't wear sleeves or
anything straight. They shouldn't at all.

397
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:03.880
Hey, the bottom running me and
you're gonna have a discussion later on one

398
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:08.920
one Old spart Dog with the News
if you do so, we'll talk about

399
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:12.920
that. But you know, I
digress. We're not gonna we're not gonna

400
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:17.599
jump all over Brendan's case. And
look you kind of like you don't want

401
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:22.160
that flash, that glitzing glamb.
He just get his hands in the dirt.

402
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:26.319
We'll take them depth to to the
position he's gonna come in. You

403
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.519
don't have the opportunity to, you
know, work his work his way there,

404
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:33.480
create that depth and everything like that. Come on in, my man.

405
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.640
The water's fine. We'll take you. Water's fine with no yeurine in

406
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:48.720
it. Don't you know water is
warm. It's more guys. There was

407
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:55.200
reports out of Mobile, Alabama today. You know what recent s that's like

408
00:31:55.279 --> 00:32:01.480
northern Florida, Southern Alabama is right
in there near a Phantom chores right Florida

409
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:08.319
Georgia line. Yeah, Jaden Reed
was tanning up out there. Man,

410
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:15.759
it is easy. Boy. It
looked like a typewriter boy, he said,

411
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:24.880
computing against Iowaha guy too. Man, maybe made it look easy,

412
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:31.240
like oh my man. Look they
said he went again some of the best

413
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:36.200
DB's in the nation and just torched
him all day to day. You know,

414
00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:38.519
it's gonna be it's gonna be exciting
to see that because he's healthy.

415
00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:43.279
You know, he had some time
to recover from the say, and now

416
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:45.680
that he's gonna have his He's gonna
let his talent, you know, be

417
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:50.880
out there on display to showcase what
he can do. And I'm happy for

418
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.880
him. I'm happy he has this
opportunity to get out there and uh perform

419
00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:58.960
and show out for it because I
think, I honestly think he's probably gonna

420
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:05.640
be a top four round pick.
Yeah, yes, absolutely, Pete,

421
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:07.160
please put it up again, because
we got to look at where he gives

422
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:12.559
them the look like why you why
you so far over there? Look?

423
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:20.480
Oh, he looks like Antonio brown
Man like you talked about. It's like

424
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:23.680
it's that that Ikey shuffle man.
You know he talked about. Uh,

425
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:28.200
I forgot who it was. Was
that Ohio State where he said Brian Hartline

426
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:34.400
or one of the receiver and coaches
is basically watch Alan Iverson's highlight film as

427
00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:37.359
him crossing over and you see some
of the receivers come off the line and

428
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:42.519
you know they making crossovers and dribbling
the ball and DB's man, we're taught

429
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:46.480
to look at the belly button,
don't look at the shoulders because the soulders

430
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:50.920
they get you get to get you
off guards. Looking at the hips hips,

431
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:53.400
don't lie. Shakira says, hips
don't lie right, you're looking at

432
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:57.960
that and that I will highwa dB, man. I mean it's one on

433
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:01.079
one, so you don't have no
run pass. You just lock on your

434
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:05.119
man. And why is he looking
at the quarterback? But the thing is

435
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:07.719
this, it's it's you're you're at
that level. It's all NFL scouts there.

436
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:13.199
You're like, you see that his
stance? Did you see his stance

437
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:15.559
when you look at that dB stance
right now? Did you think he was

438
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:21.159
gonna make a play. I think
I think he was already beat with like

439
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:25.199
saying, hey, I've I've played
against Jayden reed r capable of I don't

440
00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:30.960
to your point, yes, okay, we talk about that, talk about

441
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:37.199
that stem look at look at that
old though. But he's on the outside.

442
00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:38.960
Hash. Does he think he's gonna
go outside or he's gonna runn in

443
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:43.079
breaking route? Majority of the time, Man, he's on top and he

444
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:45.760
already picked for the route for him. You just jumping outside. Just give

445
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:50.599
him right away, insight, just
jump outside. Here you go, doors

446
00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:53.280
wide open, boom. Yeah.
I can't wait to see him play this

447
00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:58.000
game because I mean, this is
going to your point, this is going

448
00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:02.480
to rise up his hist is going
high because you know he is as as

449
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:07.960
televised, he's as advertised. You
see it in college football games where he's

450
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:10.880
making the biggest plays. But you
see him go to work like this day

451
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:15.000
in day out in practice, and
I can't wait to see him play.

452
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:16.519
And you know, rise up.
The only thing I'll tell him is put

453
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:20.440
that ball in the outside arm,
young buck. I mean with you in

454
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:22.679
the middle though, So you think
about you got another safety, I mean

455
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.920
hash number of sidelines. Yeah,
you got that safety coming down. You

456
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:30.800
want to use this your right arm
to fend them off? Someone else?

457
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:37.400
Man man Look as long as he
crossed the pipeline, man to hold on

458
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:42.199
to would say same thing that make
you laugh, will make you cry all

459
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:47.880
the time to trampay. Hey,
fellas, look, we got to talk

460
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:51.360
to the people for a minute because
this is we gotta get serious right now.

461
00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:53.760
Absolutely, we gotta get serious.
And you know, I want you

462
00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:59.920
guys to listen to before and because
we have an announcement announcement to make,

463
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:06.559
and for me, I've got to
just say it how it is because you

464
00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:09.920
know we've talked. I'm speaking for
Jau, I'm also speaking for Otis and

465
00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:15.239
all the people who work with this
is sparta We hear at. This is

466
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:22.400
part of MSU Pride ourselves and being
the only show about Spartan Dogs hosted by

467
00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:30.400
Spartan Dogs. This gives our listeners
an insider's perspective of the player's point of

468
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:34.639
view and gives the next generation with
Spartan Dogs an environment they can come to

469
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:38.119
if they want to in order to
talk to us or house. We talk

470
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:43.440
about it and feel comfortable. We
chop it up. We want all Spartan

471
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:47.519
Dogs to feel comfortable with us and
what we're doing. Our responsibility as former

472
00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:53.400
players is to be able to lift
up the next generation on our shoulders and

473
00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:58.280
propel those guys forward. Guys and
girls. It doesn't matter who you are.

474
00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:00.960
If you're a Spartan Dog, I
don't care what you're doing, swimming,

475
00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:06.079
gymnastics, growing. You're a Spartan
Dog to us because we understand what

476
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:08.800
it takes, the value that if
you put in that you have and the

477
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:13.519
commitment that you have made to this
program, the blood, sweat and tears

478
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:17.800
that people don't see on those early
mornings, those late weekends, those late

479
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:23.440
nights that you get back to your
rooms and you wonder what's next. We

480
00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:30.000
understand that better than anyone else.
Over the past two years in college football,

481
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:36.360
seismic shift has occurred with regards to
the transferred portal, small, robust,

482
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:43.039
and obviously name, image and likeness, the legislation that has been passed

483
00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:51.559
all over the United States. We
believe that the future of Spartan nation that

484
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:58.039
we have to do what's right in
order to continue to be relevant with the

485
00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:06.679
other programs in the nation. We
want to create a platform where the show

486
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.320
here. This is why the MSU. You can connect businesses and players who

487
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:14.440
fit their brand, marketing, sponsorship, brand and bastlorship, whatever it is

488
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:22.639
for financial compensation or otherwise which can
alleviate stress on players. We understand that

489
00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:28.599
better than anybody. There are players
to day in twenty twenty three that have

490
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:35.079
stress because they can't afford to do
the basic things. We're not talking about

491
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:39.119
million dollar contracts. We're not talking
about guys getting rich and going off and

492
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:46.679
having that generational wealth. We're talking
about basic needs and then some. Because

493
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:52.440
of what you guys are putting on
the table every single week, day in

494
00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:59.000
and day out. We don't believe
in telling you what we hope to do.

495
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:02.320
We want to tell you what we
are doing. And we're going to

496
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:10.960
string together a few promising introductions and
announcements in the future. But today what

497
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:16.119
we're doing is we're going to announce
what we are doing. This is Sparta,

498
00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:22.360
this platform here, this is part
of MSU. This is the first

499
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:29.039
event of many that we are now
talking to and talking about our friends over

500
00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:37.920
at I Hop combined with Keon Coleman
for a brand ambassadorship for I Hop International.

501
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:45.000
Bring on Keon Coleman and Cal Farah
from I Hop to talk about the

502
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:51.280
new nil agreement that you guys have
signed. And Hey, guys, welcome

503
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:53.079
to the show. Hey, good
evening, gentlemen. How are we doing?

504
00:39:53.880 --> 00:40:00.519
Good? Good? Awesome? You'm
doing good? What's up? Brow?

505
00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:07.920
What's up? When you? Yeah? Yeah? Man? Man,

506
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:13.719
I'm being honest. Man, I
got whooped. I had a terrible day.

507
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:19.360
Look, I mean I had a
very bad day. Bullet it was

508
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:22.400
fun. I mean, I mean, I'm not no, you know what

509
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:25.800
the three hundred. I ain't bulling
three hundred, but you said I can

510
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:31.800
get me you know one one like
something around. No, man, I

511
00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:37.559
was badly cracking a hundred. I
was like my score said, look all

512
00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:42.159
nine every single one was a nine. I'm like, bro, can I

513
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:46.679
get a break? I think I
hit two strikes. The bumbers couldn't help

514
00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:53.039
me. So you had you had
no spares. You had no spares in

515
00:40:54.079 --> 00:41:00.000
all nine. I was like,
I was getting mad, So you put

516
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:05.119
your fingers in the three holes,
or you can cut the ball. I

517
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:07.960
put them in two. I think
I bowled weird like I put them in

518
00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:12.320
too. I put like I could
put either my ind that finger and my

519
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:15.719
middle finger, or my ring finger
and my butter my middle finger and either

520
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:17.960
one of the holes. Like I
put them in the top two and then

521
00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:22.199
I turn it opposite and then I
just roll. Lets get suspend on it.

522
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:24.320
I don't put my fingers. I
don't put my fingers in the horse.

523
00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:30.159
I don't trust my fingers will take
it out. You don't trust the

524
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:36.280
bowling ball. Nobody ever taught me
how to bowl, let alone put my

525
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:38.119
fingers in the thing. I just
figured it out of my own. And

526
00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:42.000
you know, I've been all right. As long as I'm not in the

527
00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:51.039
bowling tournaments, I'll be all right
with my little way for now. That's

528
00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:59.719
enough. Yeah, we'll do it. We'll do breakfast and bowling drop off.

529
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:04.599
So I'm in, I'm in,
You're in. I know you're like,

530
00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:07.559
why did you choose Keon? And
like how did this come about?

531
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:12.719
Talk to talk about this? You
know, it's funny. I every spare

532
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:15.320
moment that I get, you know, I get on your Guys' podcast and

533
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:19.639
I like to listen to you guys, and I like to interact, you

534
00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:22.760
know, by the comments and and
here it is. It's somehow, some

535
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:28.440
way. Kean came up a couple
of weeks ago when Steam Washed chiming in

536
00:42:29.559 --> 00:42:32.679
and I'm talking about you there,
Steve Smith, but you know, he

537
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:37.119
mentioned Keon and I said, hey, let's let's try to get something rock

538
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:42.079
and rolling. You know, he's
a he's a great young man, great

539
00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:46.079
parent, you know, and Raven
over there, so, you know,

540
00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:49.519
a great head on his shoulders,
and I think it would be a good

541
00:42:49.559 --> 00:42:53.800
match. So we did the introduction
and through your show, your Guys' podcast

542
00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:58.920
here, we were able to make
this happen. Man, look at it.

543
00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:06.000
Pick Kate falling, look at him, look at him. That is

544
00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:10.079
that is fire, right there?
Absolutely, man, that is absolutely you

545
00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:17.960
cakes real, yeah, sir,
up too. I could catch up with

546
00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:25.039
this up people, that's awesome.
What is this? What is this partnership

547
00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:30.360
with I hop mean to you?
I mean it means a lot, meaning

548
00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:32.559
that mister Cale, you know,
he likes the Spartans and he's supported we

549
00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:36.480
have going on, and you know
he's trying to get them that n I

550
00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:39.719
l marketing area. I just feel
like it's a great opportunity to build a

551
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:45.239
great relationship with a great the great
gentleman as himself and just get the ball

552
00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:50.960
rolled up with this and try to
make it the best. Yeah, kiar

553
00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:54.920
man, you had obviously a great
year last season, right and I know

554
00:43:55.000 --> 00:44:00.880
that you you're pretty sure probably would
love to have more receptions and more yards

555
00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:02.840
and yards after the catch. And
you know, as we know that you

556
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:07.719
were the focal point for the offense. Man. But once it's a shot

557
00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:10.400
and light come into the future for
next season. But you know, talk

558
00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:15.760
about how this partnership, this in
il being a brander Basterard is going to

559
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:20.679
propel you for the offseason. But
you know, get ready for twenty twenty

560
00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:24.440
three season. You know, as
far as marketing goes, to just get

561
00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:30.119
your name out there and in conversations
with good with great people that you know

562
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:34.199
can make life a lot better for
you, you know, relationship wise,

563
00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:37.639
mentorship wise, and financially wise too, you know, bringing them money and

564
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:42.199
helping you, you know, whenever
you need to have those those talks with

565
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:45.760
those guys to how could I better
in this area of my life, like

566
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:50.719
of my business and such and sustence
because Kyle has a has a happy family,

567
00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:53.360
so he's a family man too.
You know, you just learn from

568
00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:58.320
from their experiences and it's like it's
like a og in the game giving a

569
00:44:58.360 --> 00:45:00.000
young man a young man the the
game. You know what I'm saying,

570
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.880
like just helping you elevate in different
areas of life that they succeeded it.

571
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:13.400
That's well said there. You know
that. You know you can't you know,

572
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:16.840
Keon. We've everyone on this show
has been a big, big fan

573
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:20.960
of yours, big support of yours. I've been you know, known to

574
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:25.119
go on tangents about you know,
your skills, your ability, your muscles

575
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:30.679
on top of muscles, muscles mayor
and there, everything like that. You

576
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:34.360
know, you know, I'm really
really happy for you. You know this

577
00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:37.679
season, you know, you battle
through injuries and everything like that. It

578
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:40.159
came out and you know, played
week in and week out, so cow.

579
00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:44.639
Would you like, what did that
go into that grit that Keon showed

580
00:45:44.679 --> 00:45:47.320
in that you know, us sweet
our mentality as supposed to I mean mine,

581
00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:51.440
because there's some times in the season
where he could have easily been like,

582
00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:53.079
hey man, I'm hurt, I'm
gonna you know, protect my stock,

583
00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:57.400
protect my investment, but he had
that us mentality wanted to go.

584
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:00.880
Did that play a role in you
know, choosing a guy like key On

585
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:04.079
to be, you know, part
of the I Hop family. I mean

586
00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:07.280
it fits the I Hop mold.
I Hop's been around and fighting for the

587
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:12.360
last sixty five some odd years.
I mean, what keeps a brand around.

588
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:15.719
You just got to keep fighting for
what's yours and secure it. And

589
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:20.519
the same thing on Keon, I
mean receiving. I mean you're receiving the

590
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:22.920
ball. You want to grab it, you want to keep it, you

591
00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:24.599
want to hold on to it.
And that's what I Hop does. I

592
00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:30.239
Hop embraces that being number one and
breakfast, so I think it goes hand

593
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:35.000
in hand. Man. Look,
Kean, you don't know this story here,

594
00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:39.079
but we were watching you playing against
the team down road and you were

595
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:45.159
giving that corner the business and over
top of his head me and Kyle are

596
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:49.840
sitting in the stands next to each
other, and there was this young lady.

597
00:46:50.440 --> 00:46:57.480
Oh, who is yelling I'm talking
like talking cash money and yelling in

598
00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:01.320
Kyle's ear. And then you went
up, grabbed the ball off my man's

599
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:07.559
head, run into the end zone, and it almost gave Kyle some firepower

600
00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:10.280
to turn around and say, hey, he took he talked to the girl's

601
00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:15.000
the girl's boyfriend, Hey, if
you don't shut her, shut him down,

602
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:21.840
I'll have to shut her down for
you. Oh, let me let

603
00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:23.400
me correct you on that. I
didn't want to give you the I didn't

604
00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:28.599
want to give you the full details, like I'm trying to thirteen you better

605
00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:32.320
check your It was. It was, but it was more of the lines

606
00:47:32.360 --> 00:47:35.960
that you better check your girl before
I do. Because we just scored.

607
00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:39.960
We're off. I like you,
Like I wouldn't put up with nobody out

608
00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:46.840
in my ear like that. I'm
trying to watch. Nah, I'm coming

609
00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:53.519
right back at you, man,
like talking about like you know this this

610
00:47:53.679 --> 00:48:00.400
offseason right here, you made the
decision to not play basketball and the focus

611
00:48:00.440 --> 00:48:04.639
on football. What is it that
you wanted to really accomplish in this offiction?

612
00:48:04.719 --> 00:48:07.360
And what do you want to accomplish
in order to prepare you for your

613
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:15.599
junior season and potentially being able to
leave early for the NFL Draft. I

614
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:19.320
feel like, you know, since
high school, I've been doing this two

615
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:23.199
sport to sport and I never really
got the chance to you know, perfect

616
00:48:23.239 --> 00:48:28.360
my craft and for twelve months straight
of just one sport. And I feel

617
00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:31.400
like with this opportunity that my heart
finally helping me decide, you know,

618
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:35.800
by praying with God to just helping
ask him to guide me through this,

619
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:38.880
through this hard, you know,
decision of choosing one sport that I really

620
00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:42.760
want to play for the rest of
my life. And you know, I

621
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:46.360
ultimately ended up choosing football because I
mean I came a long way in football,

622
00:48:46.440 --> 00:48:52.039
Like I started playing receiver maybe you
could say high school, but I

623
00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:53.320
didn't really know anything. I knew
how to run, jump, and catch,

624
00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:57.000
and that was that carried me into
college, you know, just natural

625
00:48:57.039 --> 00:49:00.119
ability trying to learn what I could
have the Internet. Then when I got

626
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:05.000
here and started learning from Coach Hawkins, just the perfect like the things you

627
00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:08.280
have to do to become a perfectionist
at your craft is like it takes time

628
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:12.280
and it takes a lot of effort
and energy you got to put towards that.

629
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:15.159
And once I've seen the areas I
needed to get better at, I

630
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:20.519
didn't want to do anything but that
and school and work on my body so

631
00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:23.360
I could be good going into the
league and I can have a successful three

632
00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:28.159
years of college and hopefully get in
and out. And you know, so

633
00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:31.280
this summer was major for me because
I've seen some good flashes And then of

634
00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:35.280
course I'll watch a lot of film
with me, you know, doing things

635
00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:38.320
right. So we're just trying to
make that right every single rep. You

636
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:42.159
know, when it comes to releasing, anticipating the shot, you know,

637
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:44.840
getting vertical and getting in and out
of your breaks, making a play on

638
00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:49.039
the ball, getting the edge on
the dB anyway you can by being a

639
00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:52.000
student of the classroom and watching tape
so you know what they're gonna do before

640
00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:54.360
they do it, because you didn't
seen them do it a thousand and a

641
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:59.119
thousand, a thousand times. And
I feel like without missing this spring,

642
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.639
I get to not only go through
the hardship of the spring the winner and

643
00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:07.960
spring programs of the lifting and running
and getting stronger, but I get to

644
00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:09.880
go through that with my brothers that
I'm gonna be fighting with in the battlefield

645
00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:14.760
in all the September, October,
November, December, and trying to get

646
00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:17.159
the January and win something. So
I get to go through that and fight

647
00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:21.639
through that, all that adversity with
those guys and just show the love for

648
00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:23.960
them, you know, and give
them all I have through the spring,

649
00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:28.159
the summer and fall campus we can
hit the ground running for the for the

650
00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:30.760
season and just being the best using
this time to become a better leader,

651
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:35.559
to lead our young receiver room and
just you know, we're trying to go

652
00:50:35.599 --> 00:50:38.719
win something. I love. I
love the fact that you said January in

653
00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:42.559
there, because you know what January. If you playing in January, that's

654
00:50:42.599 --> 00:50:51.280
the CFP right there. So this
year exactly exactly, you know, this

655
00:50:51.320 --> 00:50:52.400
past year, you know, you
broke out, you were on the scene,

656
00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:55.960
you were you were developing, you
were starting to be that dude.

657
00:50:57.760 --> 00:51:01.000
This upcoming year, now you know, there is no Jayden Reid. You

658
00:51:01.039 --> 00:51:05.559
know there is. You know people
are gonna be game planning for you.

659
00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:08.400
Bracket coverage is gonna be coming your
way. You know, how do you

660
00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:14.000
feel about that? And that?
Are you ready for that pressure on your

661
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:19.199
shoulders and everything like that. I
think I'm ready for it because I feel

662
00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:22.440
like as a leader in my room
now, my guys will be prepared to

663
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:25.679
help take that weight off my shoulders
so I won't have to be stressing about

664
00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:30.039
this about that. I know when
when the bracket comes to my way,

665
00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:31.800
that means one on one for the
other guys on the side the other side

666
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:35.000
of the field to make a play. And I trust you know, Coach

667
00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:37.800
j Johnson's gonna get the ball in
the playmaker's hands any way he can to

668
00:51:37.880 --> 00:51:44.039
make sure that practet don't effect how
the outcome of the game is, y'all,

669
00:51:44.199 --> 00:51:46.760
key ar man. So Coach Hawking
you know from the crib from Flint

670
00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:52.880
Town and Coach Hawker has always been
an OgH but for the family and family

671
00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:58.280
friend. But give spartanation more of
a bat behind the curtain scenes of you

672
00:51:58.320 --> 00:52:01.360
know what's the difference maker and Coach
Hawk and playing at every level, having

673
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:06.760
success at every level and then being
your coach one on one, like giving

674
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:09.639
some behind the scenes with like what
what what does coach Hawk truly mean to

675
00:52:09.760 --> 00:52:13.039
you? Because I know you broke
it down, but like what is it

676
00:52:13.079 --> 00:52:16.079
about him that makes him a difference
maker compared to any other receivers coach out

677
00:52:16.119 --> 00:52:22.000
here in the nation. I think
personally, he's done it at all three

678
00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:25.400
levels successfully, and you know,
he has to take the status and all

679
00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:30.360
that to back it up, the
accomplishments, the accolades, and he's also

680
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:32.320
a competitor. You know. He
has some swag, which all receivers need

681
00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:36.440
to have. His mandatory, he
has some confidence to him, he has

682
00:52:36.519 --> 00:52:38.119
some great to him, and he
really knows what he's talking about. And

683
00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:42.480
he's a great teacher at breaking it
down because I'm a fast learner, so

684
00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:44.719
you don't have to go as slow, so we can we can get this

685
00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:46.000
show on the road, because you
know, the fast you learn, the

686
00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:50.280
more you can get to you can
get through the basics and get to the

687
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:52.119
extra so you can have a little
flare in the game, you know,

688
00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:55.639
so it looks even better while you're
doing the basics. And you know,

689
00:52:55.679 --> 00:52:59.320
he's just a great teacher. He's
a student of the game as well.

690
00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:02.000
And now he's to the game to
be in the rest of our receiver room.

691
00:53:02.360 --> 00:53:06.679
And I feel like he really he
really made an impact on my game

692
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:09.440
this past season, helping me in
the offseason giving me things that I need

693
00:53:09.480 --> 00:53:13.320
to work on. So when I
leave from campus, and you know they

694
00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:15.599
can't really be there doing everything,
which I could take that and work on

695
00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:22.400
a little drugs by myself and you
know, perfect those Yeah, you know

696
00:53:22.480 --> 00:53:24.480
that's really good. So back when
I played, when Oldis played, when

697
00:53:24.519 --> 00:53:28.320
Jason played, we couldn't get away. You guys can get away with a

698
00:53:28.360 --> 00:53:30.400
lot now when it comes to celebration
and stuff. And you just mentioned,

699
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:34.920
you know, get out the details, get the extra and you know that

700
00:53:35.039 --> 00:53:38.199
flair, Like are you thinking like
during the week, do you guys like

701
00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:44.840
practice celebrations and everything like that.
I mean I don't. I mean we

702
00:53:44.880 --> 00:53:46.519
don't. We don't really celebrate practice. You know, you score, you

703
00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:50.159
get the ball to your ret put
a hand on the helmet, celebrates your

704
00:53:50.159 --> 00:53:52.800
teammates, find your teammates. But
you know, every now and then you

705
00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:54.920
might be able to get you do
your do a little some something. It's

706
00:53:54.920 --> 00:53:59.480
straight you celebrate with your team first
before you do all those things. So

707
00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:02.519
we really celebrate, you know,
practice celebration. But you know, some

708
00:54:02.599 --> 00:54:05.960
things might be in the back of
your head that you want to try.

709
00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:07.800
But you know, most of you
might have a lot of handshakes, you

710
00:54:07.840 --> 00:54:10.000
know, the lineman like that.
So they're strowing and pick you up and

711
00:54:10.039 --> 00:54:16.000
stuff. So I wish I had
a lineman that could pick me up.

712
00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:20.159
I'm two fifty five and running the
ball. I would have asked you to

713
00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:32.800
let me tell you your mind up, boost you up, you know,

714
00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:37.480
just from the ground now you're still
a man. And then then you got

715
00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:40.000
to your jumps. The boost you
don't want to pick you up like a

716
00:54:40.039 --> 00:54:43.559
little kid. I want to.
I want to go, I want to.

717
00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:51.039
I don't know the little hops a
little bit. Did you boost me?

718
00:54:51.119 --> 00:54:55.920
Behigher? Something so key? And
I'm gonna ask you this question,

719
00:54:57.360 --> 00:55:00.280
and I'm gonna try to trend lightly
for you because I don't I want to

720
00:55:00.280 --> 00:55:02.400
tell you under the bust. This
is gonna be a question that you got

721
00:55:02.440 --> 00:55:07.880
to think about when you're you're talking
about a leadership role that you're now taking

722
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:13.039
on at Michigan State. Because now
Jayden Reed has moved on. He's torching

723
00:55:13.079 --> 00:55:15.599
people as we speak in Mobile,
Alabama at the Senior Bowl. So that

724
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:22.159
helps you. But when you look
at the performance of your quarterbacks, you

725
00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:25.960
see them every day in practice,
right, you have Peyton, you have

726
00:55:27.639 --> 00:55:31.519
Noah Kim, you have kateen Houser
and and and then so how are you

727
00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:37.960
going to approach developing those guys and
then ultimately coming up with a guy who

728
00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:52.280
best suits the needs of the team
in the off season. That's a convenient

729
00:55:52.519 --> 00:56:05.360
time. That's God's protection. Right
now, you're back. Uh, you're

730
00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:15.679
back. I can't hear you.
No, no, yeah, you gotta

731
00:56:15.719 --> 00:56:21.239
come back in. We got technical
difficult, but I want to know cow.

732
00:56:22.079 --> 00:56:25.320
Yeah, we're gonna get down with
these pancakes. Here the t bone

733
00:56:25.400 --> 00:56:30.639
stake. Listen, you can make
your way over to one of the Kean's

734
00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:34.199
signings over here. You can get
yourself a t bone and some pancakes.

735
00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:37.880
You know what I'm gonna I've switched
my order up. I want I want

736
00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:42.000
some I want four eggs scrambled with
some cheese mixed in. You know,

737
00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:45.000
I don't want that word on top. And then I want that milkshake because

738
00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:47.440
I and then I want some French
fries because I dip my French fries in

739
00:56:47.519 --> 00:56:52.360
the strawberry shake. Oh that's listen, It's not a frosty, but it's

740
00:56:52.400 --> 00:57:00.679
close. Iry milkshake now want on? I told him, was like,

741
00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:04.400
hey, bring three milkshakes in our
first one. She was like, all

742
00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:16.360
that, guys, we can't hear
what's up? Still can't Kyle the you

743
00:57:16.400 --> 00:57:20.000
know, the people said, Hey, are we gonna get some King Kong

744
00:57:20.199 --> 00:57:24.360
Ke pancakes named after him? Or
are we going to do? So what

745
00:57:24.360 --> 00:57:28.360
what I think? I think this
is just you know, the tip of

746
00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:31.920
the iceberg for for this young fellow. So I'm hoping we can figure out

747
00:57:31.920 --> 00:57:37.679
a way to kind of make this
a long term thing. You know,

748
00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:40.440
God will and we can continue to
get it done, you know, the

749
00:57:40.480 --> 00:57:45.079
first first few, get the signings
done, get him in the stores,

750
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:50.920
uh, you know, being the
Bandon brand ambassador, and then uh kind

751
00:57:50.920 --> 00:57:52.320
of go from there. I mean, he he's more than I'm more than

752
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:55.199
happy to have him kind of create
his own little thing and that will make

753
00:57:55.239 --> 00:58:00.559
it the key on plate. You
know, Nason, why you talk about

754
00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:06.519
the guy that's gonna be in the
NFL minute? What's up? Key oh

755
00:58:06.599 --> 00:58:09.639
man? You you can't hear you? But you know the crazy thing is

756
00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:13.920
we're talking this week, you know, we're going over the show and everything

757
00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:16.400
like that, and we shoot text
back and forth and everything. Otis sent

758
00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:22.079
a picture like where we started when
we first the first day, we went

759
00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:27.559
to your I hop there in Brighton, and we came with so much equipment.

760
00:58:27.599 --> 00:58:30.400
We didn't know what to do.
We had speakers, we had we

761
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:35.000
were setting up. But the thing
is, all your workers there were so

762
00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:37.199
nice and helpful to us. You
know, they gave us a nice section

763
00:58:37.320 --> 00:58:40.519
in there, come and checking on
us, and we had no clue what

764
00:58:40.519 --> 00:58:45.360
we're doing. And for this is
part of people that's watching this. Like

765
00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:50.880
we shocked the first episode on a
cell phone. If you guys want to

766
00:58:50.920 --> 00:59:00.880
see the behind the scenes, I
do have the security footage. There was

767
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:02.840
a lot of there was a lot
of head scratching, There was a lot

768
00:59:02.840 --> 00:59:09.440
of I don't know, and we
just hotspots. You got to keep the

769
00:59:09.440 --> 00:59:15.719
blackmail behind you. I got in
the bag. The big thing cow that

770
00:59:15.800 --> 00:59:19.159
we do appreciate here. You know
all that, you know, all the

771
00:59:19.199 --> 00:59:22.719
support that you've thrown our way every
time, you know, from you know,

772
00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:27.559
backing us, the gear, every
time you're here watching, watching the

773
00:59:27.639 --> 00:59:30.679
show, you know, commenting,
messaging. And I was gonna wear my

774
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:34.119
shirt, but I wore last week
and I didn't want people to think I

775
00:59:34.159 --> 00:59:37.599
just wear the same. You know
what I'm saying. You have a washer.

776
00:59:38.159 --> 00:59:43.039
Well, people don't think that stuff
you seek. Damn you you wash

777
00:59:43.079 --> 00:59:51.159
your clothes? I know how notice
you know what? Right, So we

778
00:59:51.199 --> 00:59:53.960
need that kem platter down in Louisiana, Louisville, Kentucky. They said,

779
00:59:54.000 --> 01:00:00.480
man, let's make it work.
We're trying up here. Person. Then

780
01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:06.679
take it around. Absolutely, he's
not having trouble getting back on. We

781
01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:10.559
just wanted to say, you know, before we say goodbye to Yeah,

782
01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:14.599
well, I guess you know,
I don't know if you heard it.

783
01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:16.920
No, he probably did. He
was about to. He was about to.

784
01:00:19.199 --> 01:00:22.960
You're giving him time to think about
his answer. Yeah, but you

785
01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:29.719
all three quarterbacks, right, So
spartanation, obviously people are viewing live and

786
01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:31.840
then you're going to see stuff coming
out is now you're gonna see some marketing

787
01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:37.679
collateral of obviously the dates, uh
time locations where Key will be posting up

788
01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:43.119
at the store I hop. And
so we're going to get as many Spartan

789
01:00:43.199 --> 01:00:47.440
fans to that restaurant and show up
and show out sow love and you know

790
01:00:47.480 --> 01:00:51.679
it's like I said, it's nothing
but to start for for Key, but

791
01:00:51.719 --> 01:00:55.000
also his fellow brothers and sisters in
the Green and White. Yeah, I

792
01:00:55.000 --> 01:00:58.400
mean come out to one of the
stories. I got the dates and times

793
01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:00.960
here. I don't know if you
guys want me to announce. Yeah,

794
01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:02.320
yeah, you can announce. I
mean we'll get Graphy's on socially, but

795
01:01:02.360 --> 01:01:07.000
yeah, go ahead. So February
eighteenth, it's a Saturday, from four

796
01:01:07.000 --> 01:01:12.679
to six he's going to be at
the Grand Rapids location, So the address

797
01:01:12.760 --> 01:01:20.360
is five zero three nine twenty eighth
Street Southeast. And then March Saturday,

798
01:01:20.440 --> 01:01:24.199
March fourth, from four to six
pm, he'll be at the Brighton location

799
01:01:24.880 --> 01:01:30.079
at eight zero seven to five Nemco
Way in Brighton. Now, each of

800
01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:34.320
one of those will be there signing. In addition to that, anyone attending

801
01:01:34.360 --> 01:01:37.239
is going to get a coupon for
a five dollar bounce back, you know,

802
01:01:37.320 --> 01:01:40.079
come back to night Hoop. So
I think it'll be a great event,

803
01:01:40.199 --> 01:01:43.639
and I think the more word we
can get around there, the more

804
01:01:43.679 --> 01:01:45.280
we can kind of, you know, give a key on a little bit

805
01:01:45.280 --> 01:01:52.280
more support, you know, as
a Spartanation can absolutely definitely be at that

806
01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:58.320
March fourth one. Yeah, the
more you guys show up, the more,

807
01:01:58.480 --> 01:02:05.039
you know, the more benevents.
So the Spartanation show up and as

808
01:02:05.039 --> 01:02:08.920
show out. That's all we can
do, are you. Yeah, I'm

809
01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:16.719
ready for the question. I'm ready
before before you ask that question, before

810
01:02:16.760 --> 01:02:20.679
you ask that question, what is
that? Because when we were doing so,

811
01:02:21.119 --> 01:02:23.440
Jason does the play by play for
the radio. I do the sideline,

812
01:02:23.800 --> 01:02:29.800
and you do that, you do
that, he's you trying to gets

813
01:02:29.800 --> 01:02:37.280
on his head now, so straight
does the color analyst, and then I

814
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:39.400
do the sideline and so I'm listening
to it and you guys do this,

815
01:02:39.719 --> 01:02:43.880
and this is dance going out there
and I'm I'm old now. I still

816
01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:46.119
use the word lit you know,
because I think that's what's instill. See

817
01:02:46.239 --> 01:02:52.239
there he goes. But the dance
that you do and you pretend like you

818
01:02:52.360 --> 01:03:01.760
pull the hammy and stuffing what hot
beyond me? I'm too old for that.

819
01:03:02.559 --> 01:03:08.400
It's called the stand man the same
because when it happened, because I

820
01:03:08.440 --> 01:03:12.199
was down there and half of the
second some one of you guys did the

821
01:03:12.280 --> 01:03:16.280
dance, someone'st like himself. Is
he hurt? I didn't get to finish

822
01:03:16.320 --> 01:03:19.800
it. Though. I didn't get
to finish it. That was the Mischian

823
01:03:19.800 --> 01:03:22.360
game. He did it right,
Yeah, yeah, he grabbed him.

824
01:03:22.360 --> 01:03:24.840
He was like, oh no,
you know, I had to look the

825
01:03:24.920 --> 01:03:29.119
marches pulled it out against the scene. I was like, dang, he

826
01:03:29.239 --> 01:03:31.880
beat me to it. Stand man, be all on TikTok and stay from

827
01:03:31.920 --> 01:03:34.920
New orleanst And I was like,
I'm gonna do. I said, I'm

828
01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:37.840
gonna do the next game. Man. You know, I had to put

829
01:03:37.880 --> 01:03:45.800
it out man from Louisiana. Somewhere
Louisiana got some athletes bro like. So

830
01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:52.079
from what I hear, sources tell
me when you when Kean traffics around the

831
01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:57.039
streets of Louisiana, it's like celebrity
signing, you know, like Michael Jackson

832
01:03:57.119 --> 01:03:59.920
used to be Jordan's. Is that
how it is in Louisiana for you?

833
01:04:00.440 --> 01:04:03.760
I mean, I wouldn't say all
that. They must have been shocked to

834
01:04:03.760 --> 01:04:06.280
see me, because I mean I
just pop up home, like you,

835
01:04:06.360 --> 01:04:10.559
don't be announced that I'm home like
my people sometimes most of the time don't

836
01:04:10.559 --> 01:04:13.119
even know. I just you know, pop up and just be there.

837
01:04:14.320 --> 01:04:15.840
You know. So when people see
me, they'll be more so a shock.

838
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:18.840
They'll speak, but you know,
I don't bite. I'm a friendly

839
01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:24.239
person. Ma I'm gonna speak to
everybody straight. Go ahead, ask the

840
01:04:24.320 --> 01:04:28.039
question. Ask the man the question. The question is key as a leader

841
01:04:28.119 --> 01:04:35.599
now with Michigan State football, how
are you approaching the quarterback and taking that

842
01:04:35.639 --> 01:04:40.840
to the next level. You have
Peyton Thorn, you have Noah Kim and

843
01:04:40.880 --> 01:04:45.199
you also have Kayton Howser. How
are you going to go through this offseason

844
01:04:45.280 --> 01:04:49.119
with them in order to come up
with the best quarterback for you in the

845
01:04:49.159 --> 01:04:55.159
Spartan program for twenty twenty three?
All right, So, honestly speaking,

846
01:04:55.440 --> 01:04:59.360
I can't. I can't name a
quarterback that's not that's not in my job

847
01:04:59.440 --> 01:05:02.239
descriptions. That's right, that's after
their quarterback course. So I mean,

848
01:05:02.639 --> 01:05:05.840
honestly, doctor feels like they all
can get the ball where they need to

849
01:05:05.840 --> 01:05:09.760
put it, and you know,
they all have they all bring different things

850
01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:13.639
to the table, and I don't
dislike any of it. So honestly,

851
01:05:14.039 --> 01:05:15.679
I mean, it don't make a
difference to me. We're gonna we're gonna

852
01:05:15.679 --> 01:05:19.039
connect regardless. You know, we
all working this off season. So it's

853
01:05:19.079 --> 01:05:21.000
gonna you know what I'm saying,
It's gonna move. It's gonna move,

854
01:05:21.079 --> 01:05:30.639
perfect, right, Yeah, whoever
those are you gonna catch it? Yeah?

855
01:05:30.960 --> 01:05:34.679
What's your philosophy? We heard you
say on the radio post game that

856
01:05:34.760 --> 01:05:40.119
you said somebody said about hey,
you know it's fifty fifty balls. You

857
01:05:40.159 --> 01:05:43.039
said something to the What did you
say to that when he said a fifty

858
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:45.199
fifty ball? I don't even know
what that is. It's one hundred zero.

859
01:05:50.599 --> 01:05:55.760
Thank yeah, you know about those
on the On the man, it

860
01:05:55.880 --> 01:05:59.719
might it might be ninety five to
five. You know, a bad day,

861
01:06:00.239 --> 01:06:02.039
the ball might accidentally, you know, slip out the quarterback hand or

862
01:06:02.039 --> 01:06:05.559
something. Something miraculous might happen.
But you ain't gonna ever pick it.

863
01:06:05.599 --> 01:06:09.239
I'm gonna make sure you don't catch
it. You know I got it or

864
01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:12.840
nobody got it? Back up.
We don't throw picks around here, no

865
01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:16.360
man. So what's your what's your
what's your go to route? Like you

866
01:06:16.440 --> 01:06:20.000
gotta have it and say, hey
what route you gotta route someone you can't

867
01:06:20.000 --> 01:06:24.239
get no trade secrets, don come
on. That's why that's why I hit

868
01:06:24.280 --> 01:06:33.559
them with the little Watching this film, right, you want to just give

869
01:06:33.599 --> 01:06:39.800
it away like that many one and
you always running the ball my favorite route,

870
01:06:39.800 --> 01:06:44.760
But I can't. I can't dispose
that go ball. We're gonna still

871
01:06:44.840 --> 01:06:49.039
go route because that's easy. We
can say that. We don't know for

872
01:06:49.119 --> 01:06:56.880
real, we don't know for real
coach saying block no rock yep man.

873
01:06:58.039 --> 01:07:00.679
So we talked, we got some
we got some fire fire questions for you.

874
01:07:00.960 --> 01:07:08.280
Just throw it down there somewhere exactly
because I mean them pancakes, that's

875
01:07:08.280 --> 01:07:15.480
what I believe that's gonna be.
What's your favorite pancake? Chalk the tip

876
01:07:15.559 --> 01:07:18.719
a regularly? You can never go
on with regular talking about buttermilk and milk

877
01:07:18.840 --> 01:07:24.800
or chocolate chip. That's regular buttermilks, right, put that buttermilk in the

878
01:07:24.880 --> 01:07:29.000
pancakes, now what you mean?
And that's how they come. I'm gonna

879
01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:31.800
teach him how to make something too. We're gonna film that. You're gonna

880
01:07:31.800 --> 01:07:41.199

eating like maybe two pancakes. I'll be

882
01:07:44.280 --> 01:07:51.360
overdoing it, never supporting about that
four percent of below body fat, right

883
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:58.199

948
01:13:58.000 --> 01:14:01.560
more digital, more friendly for Spartan
dogs, but also for Spartan nation,

949
01:14:01.720 --> 01:14:08.119
the real voices behind it to now
see it come to fruition and also being

950
01:14:08.159 --> 01:14:13.279
able to influence our guys on the
field and girls and female student athletes as

951
01:14:13.319 --> 01:14:15.680
well. You know, the best
is yet to come. And I can't

952
01:14:15.720 --> 01:14:18.439
wait to start making more announcements,
you know, as we go throughout the

953
01:14:18.560 --> 01:14:23.720
season off season. But yeah,
I'm just thankful that we have good,

954
01:14:23.800 --> 01:14:28.159
great man like Kean and other guys
on the squad that's leading our program,

955
01:14:28.560 --> 01:14:32.079
and our program is in great hands. And I hoop is just you know,

956
01:14:32.319 --> 01:14:35.760
partners like Kyle. You know,
you guys have been buddies and boys

957
01:14:35.880 --> 01:14:40.520
for for a long time, and
so that's just the power of We talked

958
01:14:40.520 --> 01:14:43.600
about six degrees of separation, but
that's just the power of who you know

959
01:14:43.760 --> 01:14:46.359
and network with. And you know, we didn't go at Kyle and talk

960
01:14:46.520 --> 01:14:49.720
like crazy numbers. It was like, man, look, this is gonna

961
01:14:49.720 --> 01:14:54.880
be brick by brick and he trusted
us from the jump man and so that's

962
01:14:54.920 --> 01:14:57.920
just a huge testament to who he
is as a leader as a businessman.

963
01:14:58.560 --> 01:15:01.800
And Kean isn't good hands as a
Brandon basket for I happened we got We're

is, you know, going along

976
01:16:15.600 --> 01:16:19.560
with Otis's gratitude. Everyone's in their
fields right now, so I guess actually

977
01:16:19.880 --> 01:16:25.239
getting my feels too. You know. The thing I love about this podcast

978
01:16:25.359 --> 01:16:28.640
is when we came together and talked
about this and uh, you know,

979
01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:30.279
so glad, you know, the
three of us you don't have the opportunity

980
01:16:30.359 --> 01:16:33.279
to do this, and uh,
the big thing that we talked about we

981
01:16:33.359 --> 01:16:36.000
wanted to make it a show that
we could. You know, people,

982
01:16:36.159 --> 01:16:40.680
if you're listening, if you're a
casual listener, of you're a diehard fan,

983
01:16:40.840 --> 01:16:44.600
you could feel you could sit back
like you're sitting in the barbershop or

984
01:16:44.640 --> 01:16:48.159
like you're sitting in the locker room. Just listen to people that really care

985
01:16:48.279 --> 01:16:51.760
for each other, really care for
the program, just talk shop and you

986
01:16:51.880 --> 01:16:55.640
can you can have a part in
that. And I think that's what we're

987
01:16:55.720 --> 01:16:59.520
doing. And we couldn't, you
know, be successful without the people that

988
01:16:59.600 --> 01:17:02.119
follow us. We couldn't be successful
with other people that back us, like

989
01:17:02.239 --> 01:17:05.640
Cal and I Hop and everything like
that. So really appreciate it. And

990
01:17:05.760 --> 01:17:10.239
for the people that are listening,
it's imperative. You know, you guys,
