64
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:15,000
uh we ever thinks eving dinner and I guess I

65
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,680
had too much wine. I don't know what came over me.

66
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:19,360
I just threw a piece of turkey at my wife's face,

67
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:21,879
and it was the first time I'd ever met my

68
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:26,000
future brother in law drugging serbian man. He was very confused,

69
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:30,199
very confused. I thought it was hilarious. Uh, nobody else laughed.

70
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,680
My wife was a bit taken aback. Oh, we had Alice.

71
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:37,879
I guess my wife's actually listening. She was ten months old,

72
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:41,599
so never mind. As a young father, I was still

73
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:46,360
throwing turkey at my wife's face. Look, never lose your youth, guys. Okay,

74
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,199
that's how. That's how you stay young. And our what

75
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:51,919
were we what was the goal? Were we flirting? No idea.

76
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,000
I thought it was funny. Yeah, you know how I

77
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,599
get really excited for a joking here and you can

78
00:03:55,639 --> 00:03:59,800
see me like leaping to talk, like like throwing up.

79
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,120
I let the person finish, like get my joke in

80
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,840
what for what it's worth? That is pretty funny. Actually,

81
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,000
thank you, I thought too too. I think that's pretty funny.

82
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:09,919
My wife text me we had Alice. She was ten

83
00:04:09,919 --> 00:04:18,600
months old and she was acting older than you, not flirting. Well, yeah,

84
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:21,199
and she was acting older than you. Love you. Great line.

85
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,519
I'm also an idiot. Alice shout out Alice. She lost

86
00:04:26,519 --> 00:04:29,319
a tooth yesterday, one of her front teeth, one of

87
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,759
her first front tooth. But I don't know how I

88
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,480
thought it was her first tooth. I guess because I

89
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,839
like at the first front one. I remember now that

90
00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:37,839
you so I'm making this huge deal of it, and

91
00:04:37,879 --> 00:04:41,439
they're like, no, man, it's third two mm Still the

92
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,319
tooth Fairy dropped off five crisp singles. She's very excited, Alice,

93
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,240
if you're listening, so cute something about a front tooth

94
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,079
missing is just absolutely heart achingly adorable on a kid.

95
00:04:56,319 --> 00:05:01,000
I think that's fair. Look that that'd be the funniest

96
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,639
thing you have ever said on this show. That is

97
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,079
so true. I'm from LP.

98
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:07,399
Speaker 1: I know some people with a front tooth mission it

99
00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:08,160
ain't very cute.

100
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: That is also so true. That has to be one

101
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,279
of the biggest age dispairity trades our features.

102
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: Like on Earth, if you're eight and you have a

103
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:21,519
front two of missing, all that's cute. If you're forty

104
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,319
eight and have a front two, I'm gonna walk through the.

105
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: I mean, y Yager look pretty damn cool with a

106
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,000
front tooth. No, bro, have you seen yamr Yager's teeth. Lately,

107
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:34,720
he's still playing hockey and he looks like a vampire.

108
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,920
Still he's still playing professional European hockey. I saw a video.

109
00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: I'll try to find sixty.

110
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,319
Speaker 2: I saw a video.

111
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: He said it like a retirement home. This is probably

112
00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:46,519
shuffle board that you saw.

113
00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: No, bro, he's in the locker room, unpadding and he

114
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,480
smiles and all of his teeth are missing or sharp points,

115
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,560
like he's almost ground him. It's it's it's I was

116
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,120
talking about like nineteen ninety seven, the Dude Psycho. But yeah,

117
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:01,879
I didn't know all that.

118
00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: Yes, in hockey, in that profession, A tooth mess at

119
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,680
his cool walking down the street.

120
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: The uh maands you're addicted to something. See so again

121
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:13,120
like Yami or Yager might be the only person with

122
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,800
a grill like that who I don't think is addicted

123
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,480
to He's addicted to hockey. Yeah, he's not addicted to drugs,

124
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,319
though I hope not at least. I mean, he plays

125
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:22,879
a sport where literally, like your teeth get knocked out

126
00:06:22,879 --> 00:06:25,600
all the time. Like, bro, you're fifty six, wear a mask,

127
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,120
give it yourself over there. That's too gritty to be pretty. Yeah,

128
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:31,639
that's a little look. No, that's not even it. That's

129
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,639
like from like ten years ago. This says he was

130
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:34,680
fifty two in this one.

131
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

132
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean you could see it a little bit.

133
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could start to see the road he's going down.

134
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:43,399
It's crazy too. And also like so it's unless he's

135
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,759
like just blown through his money, like he made a

136
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,480
ton of money, he's still making it. I guess I

137
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,160
don't think like, like I know it's gonna happen later.

138
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,079
Why am I getting get fixed? I think he just yeah,

139
00:06:54,079 --> 00:06:55,800
I think he just loves it. He just loves hockey.

140
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,879
Who loves I mean, he loves hockey as much as

141
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,560

had like three years where I really loved I was

166
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,000
playing a lot of the NHL video games. Great Game

167
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,759
Great l ninety four is one of the most legendary

168
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,240
sports video games of all time. They got really good

169
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:35,159
again around like eight nine, ten era, but there were

170
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:37,919
some time in the early two thousands where I got

171
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:40,840
really into it and I just loved those Avalanche teams

172
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,120
that were the Patrick wah Net. I mean the Avalanche

173
00:08:44,279 --> 00:08:51,200
pretty good. They're good to good. Yeah, oh, there you go, bro,

174
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,720
and the goalies too, Mark Richter ninety four when the

175
00:08:55,799 --> 00:08:59,159
Rangers won it. The uh, oh, my god, who is

176
00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:05,320
the old Devil's goal forever Martin maim them? Uh? And

177
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,320
then of course, who can forget a bear old Ducks

178
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,480
goalie one time? That was pretty cool. As a kid,

179
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:13,960
I got to go to an Anaheim Ducks game and

180
00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:17,159
the cannon and a bear did a jersey swap. Yeah,

181
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,159
they did like a whole like thing. Before the game,

182
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,919
we got like and the Mighty Ducks are big of

183
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,440
the time, and we got like Mighty Ducks like stuffed animals.

184
00:09:23,759 --> 00:09:26,919
We had a Timu Solani signed hockey stick. That's a

185
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,840
great name. Pool and Paul Korea. Yeah, that was the

186
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:32,159
big hockey ship.

187
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: That was the combou That's unfortunate because now they're.

188
00:09:38,039 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: Team Tamu. Maybe it's table, I don't remember. I think

189
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,240
you're right. I think you're right. Either way, we're gonna

190
00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:47,279
change it here because we don't need him associated with Yeah, no,

191
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:52,960
he's better than uh. Speaking of other sports, big Bong

192
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,600
Jake your knicks, I mean, just hop back on to.

193
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: Forget about don't last night.

194
00:10:02,039 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: Back to back twenty point collapses from the defending champs

195
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,639
at home insanity watching, I'm like, oh my god, like,

196
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,120
is this gonna happen again? They got with then eight

197
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,279
and I'm like that's Celtics, you know, got with them

198
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:17,840
four and I'm like, then they took the lead, and

199
00:10:17,879 --> 00:10:20,200
I'm like, oh my god. And then when the Celtics

200
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,480
I think it was ninety to eighty nine as the lead.

201
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,399
The Celtics took and you found bruntson there. It was

202
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,279
holiday and I'm like, they're gonna win this, Like they're

203
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:32,519
gonna do it again and again about Michil Bridges was

204
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,519
a beast in the fourth, but then how about back

205
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,399
to back steel walkoffs. Yeah, Bridges defensive places. That's pretty sick.

206
00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:42,759
Speaker 1: So that's that's funny because going into the NBA Playoffs, like,

207
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:44,720
I get it, the Celtics are the defending champion, and

208
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,320
everybody said, oh watch out for the Knicks. They created

209
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,120
this team to beat the Celtics, and you kind of

210
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,919
handway if that, You're like, Okay, I get it, they're

211
00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:53,360
the definiting champs. Everybody's going to do it. But no,

212
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,559
this is legit because like you look at the Celtics,

213
00:10:55,639 --> 00:10:58,879
Jason Tatum to Jaylen Brown are the two guys their wings.

214
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,799
They're small forwards. If you will, what if the Knicks do.

215
00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:04,120
They get the two best defensive small forwards in the

216
00:11:04,159 --> 00:11:06,919
league and O g Nnobi and Michel Bridges to guard

217
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,600
those guys, and they've shut them down for the most

218
00:11:08,639 --> 00:11:11,080
part in the fourth quarter. And this team truly is

219
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:12,759
built to beat the boss itself.

220
00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:14,399
Speaker 2: They don't really seem to have an answer for cat

221
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,840
size either. No, he's just like banging around, pushing around

222
00:11:17,919 --> 00:11:18,840
Horford and stuff.

223
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, ow, like my how old is? I don't know

224
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:27,039
how up there got to be thirty. I'm gonna say

225
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:29,120
thirty eight. I gonna say thirty eight.

226
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 2: Horford is thirty eight. Karl Anthony Towns has to be

227
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,799
the zestiest professional sports player that way.

228
00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: Those interviews.

229
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,759
Speaker 2: Literally one of the early highlights last Night Talk. He

230
00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:49,159
makes an incredible down load shot. You just hear over.

231
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: The foul He's running the talk edits of of Anthony

232
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,519
town They're so good, dude, No, I mean you go,

233
00:11:57,639 --> 00:12:00,519
you go look at the Nicks. If there's shutting down

234
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,639
Tatum and Brown, Knicks are almost better at every position

235
00:12:04,759 --> 00:12:07,759
if they contain those two. Because Jalen bruns and Derek

236
00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:09,840
White can't hang with Jayalen Brunson. Like Derek White's a

237
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,120
fine player. They're better down low with Karl Anthony Towns.

238
00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:15,320
Like you shut down Tatum and Brown. I don't know

239
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,639
where the Celtics are better. God, and Tatum looked helpless

240
00:12:17,639 --> 00:12:21,679
on that last possession shot even if he got it all.

241
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was forced out. He tried to

242
00:12:23,639 --> 00:12:27,159
get in the pain and he was forced out. Yeah.

243
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,679
And it was right after that crazy coast to coast

244
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,720
dunk that he had too, which is actually really sick.

245
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,919
I'll have to like fact check exactly what the stat was,

246
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,320
but something like no road team and back to back

247
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,879
games has ever come back from twenty points down to

248
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:47,120
win the game, regular or postseason. No, No, NBA's got

249
00:12:47,159 --> 00:12:48,000
a little juice right now.

250
00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: Were talking about the Pacers well.

251
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: And as someone who has constantly complained about the new

252
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,200
style of the NBA, it's actually been a pretty old

253
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,320
school playoffs. Look at the scores, low scores of nineties

254
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,399
on a physicality the Warriors.

255
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,919
Speaker 1: The Warriors won like ninety one eighty five the other day,

256
00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:08,240
Yeah against Smer.

257
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: Ninety one ninety and it was like a physical game,

258
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,480
like banging around. Hell yeah, dude, love it. Yeah, the

259
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:20,240
the Nightcap got out a hand under pulled away from

260
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,759
the Nuggets. Thunder Thunder had to make up for that.

261
00:13:23,039 --> 00:13:26,120
Uh yeah yeah. But to your point, for the most part,

262
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,200
it has been a little throwback to I mean, the

263
00:13:28,519 --> 00:13:31,360
Pacers Cave series is awesome. Yeah, like, and I think

264
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,080
the Cave still will have something to say. You know,

265
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,879
I know that they you know, at home they lost

266
00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:38,679
both games, but if they can get healthy is gonna

267
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,039
be great. So one of my favorite things to do

268
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,639
is to go look at Knicks fans celebrating these wins

269
00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:47,240
because they're just insane. If they win at home, oh

270
00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:50,960
my god, it's it's gonna be Oh, it's it's I

271
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,159
don't know, we won't be able to play it on

272
00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:55,879
the show. Knicks fans that certainly like live in New York, like,

273
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,200
they take it on the chin all the time. Yeah.

274
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,440
For being Knicks fans and from Boston fans and just

275
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,440
other fan bases. It's been a long tough road to

276
00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:06,399
hoe these last twenty years.

277
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: For the next Yeah, what I appreciate is their fan base, Like,

278
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,480
you know, you're a battered fan base like I was,

279
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:15,480
expecting the Knicks fans to be like victory lapping and everything.

280
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,919
They're all like super cautious. They're like over like Knicks

281
00:14:19,919 --> 00:14:22,240
fans like they're super cautious. They don't want to get

282
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,000
their heart broken again. I'm like, that's like, you know,

283
00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:25,360
it's a battered fan base.

284
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, also, I mean you've kind of won these

285
00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:33,080
games in such absurd ways that it's still feels like

286
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,639
like if we were going, uh, if you just this

287
00:14:36,799 --> 00:14:39,799
is actually a great stat to look up. So they've

288
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,559
played ninety six minutes. How many minutes have the Celtics

289
00:14:43,639 --> 00:14:46,720
led versus how many minutes have the Knicks led. It's

290
00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:49,399
probably like ninety four to two. I bet it, Yeah,

291
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,279
I bet it is. But what did you.

292
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,919
Speaker 1: Hear after the game one collapse from the Celtics. Oh,

293
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,279
that's not gonna happen again, everybody in the national media,

294
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,639
that's not gonna happen again. I mean literally, the exact

295
00:14:58,679 --> 00:15:01,639
same thing happened, and I get it. Email or Dooka

296
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,840
is a good coach. There's I'm sorry, Joe Missoula, Yea,

297
00:15:04,879 --> 00:15:07,759
Joe Mazula, he's a good coach, But like, at some

298
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,919
point you have to change your strategy. When you're up twenty,

299
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,240
stop shooting.

300
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: These Yeah that was the game one problem. Okay, but

301
00:15:14,159 --> 00:15:15,120
they tried in game two.

302
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: They went ten for forty from three.

303
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:17,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

304
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: I know, but that's a far cry from fifty. I

305
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,000
get it, But like you got, you gotta chill out.

306
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,679
For example, the Knicks trailed most of that game. They

307
00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:25,759
shot thirty one threes.

308
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, That's what I'm saying. It's kind of a

309
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,679
nice old school pushback against the modern idea that every

310
00:15:32,759 --> 00:15:35,039
NBA game just comes down to who makes more threes.

311
00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:38,039
The playoffs have been better, uh for that that they're

312
00:15:38,039 --> 00:15:38,759
fighting against them.

313
00:15:38,759 --> 00:15:40,519
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just at some point, you have to

314
00:15:40,519 --> 00:15:42,879
stop shooting these threes. I get that's what got you here,

315
00:15:42,919 --> 00:15:45,440
but it's not working. Eve at twenty point collapses two

316
00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:47,039
games in a row because the Knicks are like, just

317
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,320
let them shoot. The have to stop doing that.

318
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: The other the other part of this is, man, we

319
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,399
didn't talk about it, but the Halliburn ending to game

320
00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:59,039
two was unreal. We missed the free throw, did we

321
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,080
He missed there going for the kill shot, and he

322
00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:05,960
missed it in an interesting way. Didn't go off the back, iyron.

323
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,039
He did a little awkward floater just off the front

324
00:16:09,639 --> 00:16:11,679
where like it kind of screwed up the timing turner

325
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,399
tips into him and then he calls game crazy, crazy, crazy,

326
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,440
so good on the NBA. Yeah, and Nookie brings it

327
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:20,399
up and I did forget about it although I saw

328
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,279

Speaker 2: He basically, I mean he just went all in, like

332
00:16:27,279 --> 00:16:29,240
there's no way the Celtics is gonna lose this game,

333
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:31,960
Like I'll show up in a bathrobe and no socks

334

to do if the Celtics didn't win the game. And

340
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,440
what the spread was crazy last night too. It was

341
00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:52,360
double digit, which is and it looked like it was

342
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,279
right for a long time until the end. Again true

343
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,480

369
00:18:35,519 --> 00:18:38,960

00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,680
it's not something we're used to. No. I remember like

494
00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:06,079
first really NFL game that was early because I only

495
00:25:06,079 --> 00:25:09,480
played like two at LSU. It's like a noon kick

496
00:25:09,519 --> 00:25:12,799
and I'm like, what do we do? Oh yeah, yeah

497
00:25:12,839 --> 00:25:16,480
play games at night? App State ten thirty am legendary

498
00:25:16,519 --> 00:25:19,640
watching that one. Legend it was I was out in California.

499
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,519
Oh yeah, because you were done that a year after

500
00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:23,640
you woke up early to see that one. I could

501
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,599
feel the humidity through the TV. Highlight of the game,

502
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:32,599
a young pp getting in on a tackle. Not to brag,

503
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,400
it's pretty intense. Felt so good. We're in fifty three,

504
00:25:35,599 --> 00:25:37,720
I think so at the time. Yeah, or maybe forty nine.

505
00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:39,960
Could have been forty nine. That was forty nine. All right,

506
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,920
when we get back, let's talk to coach Jay Johnson

507
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,880

00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,240
never had to deal with damage from a hurricane before

520
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,000
I ran into Dakota, and he walked me through the

521
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,960

00:26:28,319 --> 00:26:31,039
understanding of the situation after we were in after the storm.

525
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,920

what are what are the uh what's the hype level

545
00:27:20,799 --> 00:27:22,480

546
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,759
a feeling of kind of the calm before the storm? Right,

547
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,079
high leverage Hogs coming in hot, coming into the box.

548
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,440
Two of the best teams in the entire country. How

549
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,079

00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been good.

551
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,039
Speaker 4: I'm happy to see the sun is up this morning. Yeah, true, true,

552
00:27:42,279 --> 00:27:44,839
looking forward to getting on the field today. You know,

553
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,000
we're also in the middle of finals, so they're wrapping

554
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:47,720
that up nice.

555
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:48,039
Speaker 2: Uh.

556
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 4: We give him a little extra time off with the

557
00:27:50,599 --> 00:27:53,559
Tuesday night game getting rained out. Had a really good

558
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:58,559
productive day yesterday. Excited for the prep today. Been knee

559
00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:02,519
deep into Arkansas from a coaching staff perspective, and I

560
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,559
rated role. You know, our home crowd has done a

561
00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:07,519
great job this year with rain and weird start times

562
00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:09,519
and all that, and we're gonna need all of it

563
00:28:09,559 --> 00:28:11,759
this weekend. So looking forward to a great weekend.

564
00:28:12,279 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 2: And uh coach speaking of great weekends, the performance by

565
00:28:16,759 --> 00:28:21,160
Anthony iinsen last weekend and it stinks right because when

566
00:28:21,279 --> 00:28:24,480
Cad had his unreal complete game, he was on a Thursday,

567
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,920
and so it got to be the sole focused Unfortunately

568
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,759
Anthony coming to the kind of in the middle of

569
00:28:29,799 --> 00:28:32,599
the weekend there maybe didn't get the We tried to

570
00:28:32,599 --> 00:28:34,759
get him as much love as we could, so I

571
00:28:34,759 --> 00:28:38,440
want to revisit it here because again, what a masterful

572
00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:42,119
job of high leverage pitching where your team has to

573
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,240
have it and he puts him on his back and

574
00:28:44,279 --> 00:28:48,559
he gets it done, a very efficient complete game, one run,

575
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,799
three hits, and you look up and Ainsin is just

576
00:28:51,839 --> 00:28:55,799
someone coaching is like just continued to get better as

577
00:28:55,799 --> 00:28:58,240
the season has gone on. It seems like every weekend

578
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,880
he gets better. What's been the kind of key behind

579
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,400
that growth that you're seeing out of him.

580
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 4: Well, the first part is the person. He's a phenomenal

581
00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:09,000
human being, phenomenal competitor.

582
00:29:09,799 --> 00:29:12,079
Speaker 5: And then I just give him a lot of credit.

583
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,119
Speaker 4: He's getting better as we're going in the season. He

584
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,759
gets better as games go along. You know, you mentioned

585
00:29:16,799 --> 00:29:19,359
we had some really efficient innings in the middle of

586
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,720
the game which allowed him to extend and you know,

587
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:25,319
probably right around after Texas, we made a couple of

588
00:29:25,359 --> 00:29:29,920
adjustments with him. Give Kochevski Jamie Tutko a lot of

589
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,359
credit for that, and he's just gone out and executed

590
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,039
it and super proud of him for that. He's one

591
00:29:36,039 --> 00:29:38,920
of those guys man, And unless you're in the trenches

592
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,240
of knowing what this thing really is, which that's nobody outside.

593
00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 5: Of the staff.

594
00:29:44,519 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 4: As you're going through recruiting in this new era and

595
00:29:47,319 --> 00:29:50,039
the portal, it's like, all right, this is the guy

596
00:29:50,119 --> 00:29:52,480
we have to get, Like this is going to tip

597
00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:56,319
the season to where you're talking about this Arkansas series

598
00:29:56,359 --> 00:29:59,200
and what's ahead of us, you know, being high leverage

599
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,119
and excited and you know, for him to visit the

600
00:30:02,119 --> 00:30:06,039
schools that he did pick LSU and our program and.

601
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,599
Speaker 5: Then go out and deliver. The way that he has has.

602
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,799
Speaker 4: Been awesome and I'm super proud of him.

603
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 2: Coach. One thing I wanted to ask you about because

604
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,440
this series obviously is a big one. Just like you know,

605
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,839
they all are certainly in the SEC but you know,

606
00:30:18,839 --> 00:30:21,160
we're football guys, and so when you have a big game,

607
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,519
it's like, Okay, you get up there, you give the

608
00:30:23,839 --> 00:30:26,640
pregame speech before the game, because that's what it is.

609
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,920
It's one single game, it's not a series. So for

610
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,160
you like having this big series having three games, like,

611
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,799
how do you approach you know, maybe tomorrow when you're

612
00:30:36,799 --> 00:30:38,599
getting out there, Like is it a different approach? Do

613
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,440
you do the same thing kind of three times to

614
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,359
get them fired up ready to go? Like how do

615
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,200
you handle maybe, you know what I'm saying, that one speech,

616
00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:48,240
that one talk that we all see in locker rooms.

617
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good question and put a lot of

618
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,960
time and effort and energy into that to try to

619
00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:57,720
meet the team where they are and what.

620
00:30:57,759 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 5: We have ahead of us.

621
00:30:58,839 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 4: And you know, it could be it could be one

622
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,799
theme you know for the weekend that you kind of

623
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,079
segue off of, or it could be something different every day.

624
00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:09,720
I will tell you it's probably a little more challenging

625
00:31:09,759 --> 00:31:12,200
in a fifty six game schedule than it is eleven

626
00:31:12,279 --> 00:31:15,200
or twelve game yeah, football schedule. But I do my

627
00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:17,359
best with that, and you know, we've had some we've

628
00:31:17,359 --> 00:31:19,759
had some fun with that this year, and you know,

629
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,400
usually the guys have responded in a really good fashion.

630
00:31:22,519 --> 00:31:25,240
You know, really what it will come down to once

631
00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:28,160
the game starts is execution. And we're playing a good team.

632
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,000
You know, they make it hard on you to execute.

633
00:31:30,039 --> 00:31:32,119
So our guys got to stay in the right frame

634
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,839
of mind and compete against a really good pitching staff

635
00:31:34,839 --> 00:31:39,079
and a really good lineup. But you know, I admire

636
00:31:39,119 --> 00:31:42,559
the consistency of how these guys have gone about their work,

637
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,160
prepare for games and competed. And we have a lot

638
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,240
of really good baseball ahead of us because of that,

639
00:31:48,359 --> 00:31:50,920
and and this weekend is certainly one of those.

640
00:31:51,519 --> 00:31:56,839
Speaker 2: And you know, in this conference, especially coach uh, what

641
00:31:57,039 --> 00:32:01,119
goes around kind of comes around, right And here you

642
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:06,799
have the miraculous Tennessee moment, and then you're it's immediately

643
00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:09,039
followed with A and M having a bit of their

644
00:32:09,119 --> 00:32:12,839
own miraculous sort of moment. When you're on the wrong

645
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:17,240
side of that exchange. Uh, what's the toughest part of

646
00:32:17,319 --> 00:32:17,880
flushing that.

647
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:22,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not worried about the guys flushing it. Like,

648
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,160
first off, it happened four days ago. Yeah, and maybe

649
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,200
you guys remember, being nineteen twenty twenty. One. Good thing

650
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,680
about young people is they actually move on pretty quickly. True,

651
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,160
sometimes it sticks with coach Johnson a little bit longer.

652
00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:40,640
But no, I think you know, when you go through this,

653
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:47,400
like to put it in context, like for thirty league games,

654
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,440
like eighteen of those while we have played them have

655
00:32:50,519 --> 00:32:52,519
been teams that have been ranked twelve or better in

656
00:32:52,519 --> 00:32:55,160
the RPI at the time that we've played them. We're

657
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,359
playing i think our third or fourth team that has

658
00:32:58,359 --> 00:33:01,319
been ranked number one in the country this year in

659
00:33:01,359 --> 00:33:05,119
our league schedule, And therefore, you can't get caught.

660
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 5: Up in the past.

661
00:33:05,759 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 4: You can't get caught up too far down the road.

662
00:33:08,359 --> 00:33:11,559
I know it's super boring, you know, you guys think

663
00:33:11,559 --> 00:33:14,599
I'm a California hippie or something. But to stay in

664
00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:18,160
the moment, you know, execute your plan type of thing

665
00:33:18,279 --> 00:33:19,720
is the only way to do it. And we got

666
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,440
some things we got to get better at right now.

667
00:33:21,519 --> 00:33:25,519
So I mean, yesterday it was like grind day and

668
00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:28,680
in the best way possible, two or three guys at

669
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,920
a time recommitting to approach, you know, and getting some

670
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,960
swings back on track so that we can, you know,

671
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,920
play the team we need to play them. And it

672
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,680
was a good day. But that's how we have to

673
00:33:40,799 --> 00:33:43,200
choose to go about it. I think the good news

674
00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:46,039
is if you can kind of survive and I hate

675
00:33:46,119 --> 00:33:48,119
using that word, but if you can kind of survive

676
00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:52,759
this stretch, you know, we'll head into postseason baseball with

677
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,880
nothing we have not seen and you're probably just re

678
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,960
lining up the teams you went through to get where

679
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,519
you ultimately we ultimately want to go, which is Omaha

680
00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:03,880
and win a national championship.

681
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 2: Coach, Every SEC team brings their own challenges, and you know,

682
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,719
you really don't ever get a chance to breathe in

683
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,320
the SEC. That is what it is. What about this

684
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,639
Arkansas team though, Like and I know you, I know

685
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,360
you've been breaking down film, watching film all week long,

686
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,559
probably Sunday of last week, and so when you watch

687
00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:23,840
them on tape, when you see the way that they play,

688
00:34:24,079 --> 00:34:25,679
see kind of some of the series they've played over

689
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:28,760
the last couple of weeks. What can LSU fans expect

690
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:29,239
in the box.

691
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're probably the most complete team of all these

692
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:38,440
teams in terms of offense, defense, pitching. They've always tended

693
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,920
to play defense really well. They've always tended to pitch

694
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,920
really well, and that's definitely the case this time. You know,

695
00:34:46,079 --> 00:34:48,639
just like I talked about with Anthony, you know, their

696
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,239
pitcher Tomorrow, Zach Rute, that was kind of the guy

697
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,519
they had to get, you know, to have this rotation

698
00:34:54,599 --> 00:34:57,800
as formidable as it is and push some really good,

699
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,119
high end arms to the bullpen. The pitching is good,

700
00:35:01,159 --> 00:35:05,400
the defense is good, and you know, they hammer. They

701
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,679
hammer mistakes like I mean, whether it's basketball or hanging

702
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,480
breaking ball, they hammer them. And then again, I'm going

703
00:35:12,519 --> 00:35:14,639
off of most of my review was off of last

704
00:35:14,679 --> 00:35:18,199
weekend against Texas. But you know, they've been through a

705
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,239
couple of weekends like we've been through, you know, where

706
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,880
they've lost a couple and you know, but they're they're

707
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:23,480
playing well.

708
00:35:23,679 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 5: I mean, I think they're probably.

709
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 4: The favorite to win the National Championship right now in

710
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,039
terms of the completeness.

711
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 5: Of their team.

712
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,679
Speaker 4: I love that we're at home and really excited for

713
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,280
the weekend like, this is this is college baseball this weekend.

714
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,840
I think maybe because they haven't won a national championship,

715
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,920
people don't talk about them as much, but they've probably

716
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,800
been the most consistent program in the SEC over the

717
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:47,639
past ten years.

718
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, so this is this is awesome.

719
00:35:50,199 --> 00:35:52,519
Speaker 4: And we're really excited about this weekend.

720
00:35:52,639 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I can already feel my adrenaline. It's it's

721
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,880
like I can't imagine trying to or I can because

722
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,280
I remember going through it, but it's challenging to try

723
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,679
to kind of stay stay low and kind of save

724
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,039
it for the right time. Speaking of the right time, though, coach,

725
00:36:07,079 --> 00:36:09,239
we were talking about this earlier in the show. One

726
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,760
of the hallmarks of your tenure here in Ben Rouge

727
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:16,840
has been getting the team peaking at the right time.

728
00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:19,320
And there's a real art to that. And just now

729
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,920
you talked about yesterday GRINDI practice recommitting to approach when

730
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,639
you have some guys that are maybe personally slumping a

731
00:36:26,679 --> 00:36:29,400
little bit, like what what do you do? What are

732
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:34,599
the actions or strategies you engage in to try to

733
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:38,039
get better and be playing your best baseball this late

734
00:36:38,119 --> 00:36:39,960
in the year when you've already played so much.

735
00:36:41,519 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a really good question, And sometimes I think

736
00:36:44,679 --> 00:36:48,360
I appreciate you saying that, and I'll certainly take credit

737
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,360
for it, but it's like sometimes it's a little misleading,

738
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,519
and it's a little misleading only because of the competition

739
00:36:54,639 --> 00:36:57,199
being so stiff week in and week out, Like I

740
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,960
just don't I don't think you can survive.

741
00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 2: I have this.

742
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 4: Nowadays without a few bumps. I think Texas was number one,

743
00:37:04,519 --> 00:37:07,639
had lost one game in a month and got completely

744
00:37:07,639 --> 00:37:11,199
annihilated by Arkansas last weekend, like they completely dominated them.

745
00:37:11,559 --> 00:37:14,920
And in our league in baseball, like that's going to happen.

746
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:20,119
But something I've always reverted to is my job is

747
00:37:20,159 --> 00:37:23,559
to keep our players right in the head. If I

748
00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:26,000
can do that, then it gives them a chance to

749
00:37:26,039 --> 00:37:30,519
play their best in these highest leverage situations. And you know,

750
00:37:30,639 --> 00:37:32,639
that's why, you know, over my career we've had really

751
00:37:32,639 --> 00:37:36,079
good success. I believe in the postseason and you know

752
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,079
late in the season. Now, with that being said, it

753
00:37:39,639 --> 00:37:42,800
really all comes down to execution, and you can't execute

754
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,519
unless you're in the right frame of mind. So for me,

755
00:37:45,559 --> 00:37:47,559
it's mindset we work on at three hundred and sixty

756
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:50,920
five days a year, and you know, there's there's some

757
00:37:51,039 --> 00:37:53,920
of that obviously going right now, and kind of what

758
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,440
I look at is it's that's the same for everybody

759
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,360
in the SEC. And unless you're doing this and you know,

760
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,360
playing free teams in a row that have been ranked

761
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,920
number one at some point during the season, you don't

762
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:04,480
you don't.

763
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,079
Speaker 5: Get it, you know. And so you have to stay

764
00:38:07,159 --> 00:38:07,800
right in the head.

765
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 4: And we're looking forward. And to answer your question from

766
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,360
earlier in the locker room at A and M, it

767
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,920
was like, hey, man, I'm proud of this effort today.

768
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,559
Speaker 5: Like, I mean, we busted.

769
00:38:17,199 --> 00:38:18,519
Speaker 4: Our ass in that game.

770
00:38:18,599 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 5: We didn't hit, but the pitchers did a great job.

771
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:22,119
Speaker 4: You know.

772
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 5: I thought the coaching staff did a.

773
00:38:23,679 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 4: Great job in that game. And we were maneuvering and

774
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,039
hustling and getting it to the point where we were

775
00:38:28,079 --> 00:38:30,880
about to win a series on the road against a

776
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:35,199
team that's really talented that we didn't even play our best,

777
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,920
and that would have been a tremendous accomplishment. So it's like, hey,

778
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,880
let's let's pack up this bus, let's get on the road,

779
00:38:41,519 --> 00:38:44,400
eyes up, take care of finals, and turn our focus

780
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,800
the next week. And so it's really just trying to

781
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,639
keep them all about what's right in front of them.

782
00:38:49,159 --> 00:38:52,199
Speaker 2: And tomorrow night, the hogs right in front of six

783
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,639
thirty pm in the box going to be electric all

784
00:38:56,639 --> 00:38:58,039
week and long. If you're going to be one of

785
00:38:58,039 --> 00:39:02,440
those number, make it be loud, make it hard on Arkansas,

786
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,599
and we look forward another great series. Coach, Thank you

787
00:39:04,639 --> 00:39:06,320
for thank you so much for making time with us.

788
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,159
And you're incredibly busy. Thank you for dealing in my

789
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,119
last minute text to have you come on. You were

790
00:39:11,119 --> 00:39:13,880
the best, Oh, coach. By the way, guess what, it's

791
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,559
Jake's fortieth birthday today.

792
00:39:17,159 --> 00:39:18,519
Speaker 4: Jacob, Happy birthday, man.

793
00:39:19,079 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 2: I appreciate that, Coach.

794
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have one question.

795
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 4: Could you still get one hundred yards on twenty carries

796
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,000
in the NFL today? Oh?

797
00:39:27,599 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 2: All right, coach, the best I can give you. I

798
00:39:30,039 --> 00:39:33,400
can pick up a fourth and one. Yeah, maybe simple

799
00:39:33,559 --> 00:39:34,159
still got that?

800
00:39:35,519 --> 00:39:37,199
Speaker 5: But I believe you.

801
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 4: Sometimes Stephen Milam will come up with this thing and

802
00:39:40,039 --> 00:39:45,440
he'll say, Hey, could I get three yards against Oklahoma?

803
00:39:45,679 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 2: Hey Monsra, I love you too, Bud, But no, no,

804
00:39:48,639 --> 00:39:50,800
I don't know. Maybe he kind of hides behind the

805
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,360
line a little bit, squeaks through. I don't know, dude,

806
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,119
I don't know, coach, coach, thank you so much, appreciate you.

807
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,800
All right, good one, All right, coach J Johnson legend

808
00:40:01,079 --> 00:40:04,840
LS you had baseball coach that from though. Yeah, I

809
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,840
love that attitude too. I try. I don't know if

810
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,719
I could. What was the most rushing yard you ever

811
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:15,079
had in a college or NFL game? College might have

812
00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:18,440
been like Arkansas seven or our SEC championship game in

813
00:40:18,639 --> 00:40:20,800
seven man. How many do you remember? How many yards? One?

814
00:40:22,519 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: My guess one? Twenty five? Hell yeah, let's find out.

815
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:27,519
Look would have been your senior year?

816
00:40:27,599 --> 00:40:29,599
Speaker 2: Look at the uh I, look at the NFL. I'm

817
00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:32,239
not sure. I'm not sure. I ran. Uh I ran

818
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,800
for over one hundred yards at ten years old. One time.

819
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,840
I did that a couple of times at ten years old. Wishma,

820
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:42,639
wishbon full back? Watch that now? All right, when we

821
00:40:42,639 --> 00:40:46,400
get back, let's close that hour two of O t B. Well,

822
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:51,079

00:42:06,679 --> 00:42:07,920
twenty one.

I'll forgive my two thousand and four brethren early do

851
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:17,760
set for.

852
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 2: Not lining up on the line of scrimmage in that game.

853
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:22,360
For that rail route.

854
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:23,039
Speaker 3: M m.

855
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 2: If we scored that, we run away with the game.

856
00:42:26,599 --> 00:42:29,440
Momentum is all on our side. It's the hell of

857
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,800
a thing. And then got deflated. Here comes the three

858
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:39,239
headed monster that Arkansas had. Yeah, hellis McFadden and Felix.

859
00:42:39,679 --> 00:42:44,039
The hill is third down. Hillis McFadden and Jones. Yeah yeah, yeah, Felix,

860
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:49,760
Yeah yeah, what a what a trio? That quarterback quarterback?

861
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:54,719
Hold on, let me think it's after Matt Jones. Enough,

862
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,400
he wasn't part of the four Ryan mall.

863
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,760
Speaker 1: Before Malax mallet to Tyler Wilson. So this is before.

864
00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 2: I'm surprised by this. I don't remember the quarterback Zach

865
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:17,000
route Casey, Like, how did you not know? I could see?

866
00:43:17,159 --> 00:43:19,480
I could think it's crazy because I would have never

867
00:43:19,559 --> 00:43:22,159
pulled Casey Dick actually, like I don't even remember him

868
00:43:22,159 --> 00:43:25,360
being an Arkansas quarterback. That's how impressive the three in

869
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,880
the backfield were. Was for you not to leave Casey

870
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:33,840
Dick is surprising. I know, I completely forgot.

871
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,639
Speaker 1: I mean, they had Marcus Monk at receiver on that team,

872
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,199
Like market, Marcus play a little.

873
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,559
Speaker 2: Bit if they had a quarterback. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

874
00:43:42,199 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 1: Monk could play. What happened, Chris Houston played a little

875
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:46,639
bit of receiver for him.

876
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 2: They were good if they had a quarterback. But it's

877
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,119
just like, you can only win so many games, even

878
00:43:52,159 --> 00:43:54,440
with one of the best running backs in SEC history,

879
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,559
and you can't throw a four pass. I don't know.

880
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,559
I mean, I remember the time, being a big fan

881
00:44:01,599 --> 00:44:06,239
of the Dick Nutt coaching quarterback combination. Yeah, it was,

882
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,960
it was. It was one of the more memorable in

883
00:44:10,039 --> 00:44:10,599
the SEC.

884
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:16,039
Speaker 1: Starting to come back to you now, you're like, I remember, yeah,

885
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:17,119
shout out Houston.

886
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,039
Speaker 2: You saw him at the coaches, uh Celebrity of the

887
00:44:20,039 --> 00:44:22,519
Coaches golf tournament the other day. I did. It looks good,

888
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,840
It looks good. I don't know if I've ever played

889
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:32,639
a more disastrous football team than the Houston nut Ole

890
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:37,239
Miss team of twenty eleven. I think that's the team

891
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,199
where maybe he had already been fired or the fire

892
00:44:39,559 --> 00:44:41,440
like they they did not want to play, and I

893
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,719
heard stories that they were just like not practicing, like

894
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,199
barently showing up like like the those like.

895
00:44:48,119 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: Five minutes to go.

896
00:44:49,079 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

897
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 6: I was at that game in Oxford and Ron Brooks

898
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,480
on the the first player of the second play pick

899
00:44:55,599 --> 00:44:58,920
six to the house. Yeah, this old miss fan just

900
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000
like comes to wall walking down the stairs like his

901
00:45:01,079 --> 00:45:03,440
girlfriend on his on like piggyback, and he's just like,

902
00:45:04,119 --> 00:45:05,719
all right, bleep this, let's just.

903
00:45:05,679 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 2: Going to be a great night here forever. The most

904
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,079
legendary moment in that game will be Zach Menberger coming

905
00:45:13,119 --> 00:45:15,199
in finally gets some pt and he's just supposed to

906
00:45:15,199 --> 00:45:18,239
hand the ball off and he just kept it on

907
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,159
his own and he just didn't hand it off and

908
00:45:20,199 --> 00:45:22,559
decided to run his own naked boot and got down

909
00:45:22,599 --> 00:45:26,119
to the one and then that's when the Neil. Yeah,

910
00:45:26,119 --> 00:45:31,400
it was about disrespect, the ultimate disrespect, so good. I

911
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,599
was watching Bust One of the Boys and Taylor Lewan

912
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,239
was talking about Mary Ota was on the show, and

913
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,119
he's like, man, I'm not gonna lie when they drafted

914
00:45:40,119 --> 00:45:42,639
you I was pissed. Met was my boy when it

915
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,440
meant to be the quarterback, and all of a sudden

916
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,079
they draft this guy's like and then I saw you

917
00:45:46,079 --> 00:45:50,840
throw three pass? I go, what about Mett? Yeah, they

918
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,559
used to be boys. I don't know if they're boys anymore.

919
00:45:52,559 --> 00:45:54,079
I don't know what happened there, but yeah, they were

920
00:45:54,079 --> 00:45:56,800
really Zach Stout that was the quarter I could remember

921
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:57,199
his name.

922
00:45:57,519 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: Zach Stout was the old quarterback.

923
00:46:00,159 --> 00:46:01,159
Speaker 2: Lwan is good looking.

924
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:08,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, Zach style seventeen yards passing against you guys.

925
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,119
Speaker 2: Wait, that was their quarterback. Yeah, he did. He started

926
00:46:12,159 --> 00:46:12,559
that game.

927
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 1: Zach Stout started Barry Brunetti. These are faing I remember Brunetti,

928
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:23,320
then Casey Dick Israel, but these are He's doubled. He

929
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:24,599
doubled the stars.

930
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 2: Quarterback I care about. And it was Jeremiah solely outside that.

931
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,320
That was the next year. I think that was the

932
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:30,880
previous year.

933
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:32,320
