Live from the Raising Kanes Studio.

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,679
Speaker 2: Welcome back in our number two ot B here live

8
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:41,840
from the Raizorcines Studio. Always our pleasure on Wednesdays to

9
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,679
welcome on our next guest. It is our guy, doctor

10
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:48,079
Steven Aantherrich. What's going on, Doc? How we doing doing great?

11
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,079
All right? So I'm gonna start off with an injury.

12
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:55,000
I think we talked about last week, but it's just

13
00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:56,719
it feels like it's just showing up more and more

14
00:00:56,759 --> 00:01:00,640
and more concussions and quarterbacks in the NFL. We talked

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,280
about Jackson Dart I believe it was last week. Now CJ. Stroud,

16
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:07,840
Texans quarterback. He's going to be out versus the Bills

17
00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:13,159
on Thursday Night football. And like the concussion protocol like

18
00:01:13,519 --> 00:01:16,560
is it kind of the same like almost everywhere? Like

19
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,760
is there like a hey, this national board said this,

20
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,879
and this is what we're going to follow. Because I

21
00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:23,280
feel like in I don't know if you ever went

22
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,239
through any concussions, like, but for me, I feel like

23
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,040
maybe all of mine were a little bit different, like

24
00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:30,319
at least from my experience. So when you're dealing with concussions,

25
00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:32,159
is it kind of across the board, Hey, here's what

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:32,840
we're looking for.

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,359
Speaker 3: It's pretty similar.

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,439
Speaker 4: There are some differences that the NFL, for example, has

29
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:38,680
an independent neurologist.

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,799
Speaker 3: Not every league uses that.

31
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,079
Speaker 4: There's certain subtle differences and just kind of the minutia

32
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:45,439
and the rules, but it's basically the same. You're gonna

33
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:48,879
You're gonna start with obviously an official diagnosis, and then

34
00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:51,239
from there you move forward and there's always going to

35
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,480
be some kind of gradual return to play. It's never

36
00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:55,719
a hey, I feel better, okay, go play football. Yeah,

37
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,719
it's okay, you're feeling better. Let's have you get on

38
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,439
the treadmill, let's have you on a bike. Let's start

39
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:00,840
off kind of like and easy, because a lot of

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,519
times guys will feel good and then their heart rate

41
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:05,680
gets up, and even if we're not talking about any contact,

42
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:08,120
they start getting headaches, start having symptoms.

43
00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: So I want to slowly progress you back and make

44
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:10,879
sure you're better.

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,879
Speaker 4: There's a lot of neurologic neurocognitive tests, looking at your balance,

46
00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:16,080
look at your reaction times, and a lot of different

47
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,560
things we utilize, and like I said, there is differences,

48
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:20,719
but it's basically the same from lead to league.

49
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 5: So Dougle when you look at concussions, so we all

50
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:25,879
kind of know it as like a brain bruise, basically

51
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,520
your brain hit in side your head. I know there's

52
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,080
like circles, final fluid that's like you're padding or whatever.

53
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:34,159
But like everybody recovers a little bit different, and it's

54
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,439
understandable that there would be like different severities to concussions.

55
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:42,439
But this might be a dumb question, but like is

56
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:47,919
there any proven treatments for typecussion besides just rest? I mean,

57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,120
I know, like like blood flow heels and blood is

58
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:52,639
like the healing factor in the body, and like you

59
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,360
do things that other acute injuries around the body, it's

60
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,479
like you want to increase blood flow to that area

61
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:01,120
to help healing. Is there a way is there ever

62
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:04,080
been anything that's helped the treatment of a concussion.

63
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:06,879
Speaker 4: There's a lot of stuff out there that is being tried.

64
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,319
There's a lot of sort of anecdotal data that maybe

65
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:11,319
there's some little things that we can do here and there.

66
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:13,479
There's certain things, and you know you're gonna hear about

67
00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:15,439
all kinds of stuff. If somebody goes in the internet

68
00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:17,919
and you google concussion treatment, you have a million things

69
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,439
pop up because it's such a big topic, and honestly,

70
00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:22,360
it's one we don't really have a great treatment for

71
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,199
other than rest.

72
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,039
Speaker 3: It really is the main thing.

73
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: You kind of got to let the body and specifically

74
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,599
the brain get better and the problem.

75
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,199
Speaker 3: You know y'all mentioned well, I had a couple. They

76
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:31,680
were different.

77
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:35,639
Speaker 4: It's it is the most probably frustrating diagnosis we have

78
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,439
because it's there's no perfect test right now. Now I

79
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:39,960
can't show you on an X ray there is your

80
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,639
concussion m RI, I C T scan whatever everything else.

81
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: You're you know, you've seen it a thousand times and yeah, okay,

82
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:45,759
this is that.

83
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:48,919
Speaker 4: And then once you have it, they're all different and

84
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,840
even the same individual, you know, because you'll talk to

85
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,319
your teammate. I'll think he's back in a week and

86
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,560
I'm you know, a month in and I'm still having symptoms.

87
00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:57,000
It's it's a lot of variability. It's not always easy.

88
00:03:57,039 --> 00:04:00,000
It's it's it's very scrutinized. That's just one of those

89
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:02,000
things that's a rough, rough diagnosis all around.

90
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 5: So is it like a good assumption, like when we

91
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,560
just generally know it as like a brain bruise, Is

92
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:09,560
that like really what it is? And then if so,

93
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,319
it doesn't matter like where on the brain, like what

94
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,199
part of the brain hit.

95
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,319
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's a good way to look at it,

96
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,279
because that's kind of what it is. You know, it's

97
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,480
basically an injury to the brain. It's an injury to

98
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,079
the brain that typically does not show up on imaging.

99
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:24,120
There's some newer tests out there that we're trying to

100
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,920
develop functional MRIs and using utilizing EEGs, but even those

101
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,600
are gonna be really expensive. You're not gonna be able

102
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,319
to get them quick and it's gonna be a while

103
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,399
before we have a good test.

104
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 3: So it's kind of a bruise that you can't see.

105
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,439
It's kind of inflammation.

106
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 4: We know that much that the location of the brain

107
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,000
does affect definitely the symptoms because you know, we know

108
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,199
different parts of the brain control different things, So you know,

109
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,120
sometimes it's gonna be more headaches, sometimes it's gonna be

110
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,600
more memory emotional.

111
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: You know, I've had guys that you know, I'll never forget.

112
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 4: I had a young kid, a high school kid, just

113
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,920
bawling on the sideline, just just waterfall tears. Could not

114
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,519
explain to me why. He's like, I don't know why crying.

115
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:57,879
He had a concussion. He's like, I'm not that upset,

116
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,759
I'm not whatever. Just could not stop it. And it's

117
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,240
just interesting. The brain is such a history, crazy thing.

118
00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:05,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I have never even really thought about like

119
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,680
the concussion being an injury to the brain. You understand that,

120
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,800
but like different locations of the brain would magnify a different.

121
00:05:13,519 --> 00:05:17,879
Speaker 2: Response to it. It's pretty wild. Yeah. Look, when you

122
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,079
have one, you've got plenty. Yeah, when you have one,

123
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,879
it's it's quite the experience. And then like when people

124
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,519
tell you, like, no, you were doing this, it's like

125
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,279
that like you were, Actually we're doing this. And so

126
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:32,879
I just feel like we're seeing more of those quarterbacks, yeah,

127
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,399
like Dylan Gabriel. Yeah I don't. Yeah, I don't feel

128
00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:39,120
like we now maybe to Doc's point, I mean, now

129
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,120
you get buzzed down and they've got a neurologist up

130
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,759
there in the NFL. Maybe we did see and we

131
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,120
just didn't know it. But like when I was playing

132
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,000
like I don't. I don't remember quarterbacks getting concussions, right,

133
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,680
but there wasn't a ton and now the rules are

134
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,879
supposed to protect them more than ever. And this is

135
00:05:52,879 --> 00:05:54,839
where you're seeing it because there's so many rules like

136
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:56,319
running more too.

137
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 5: In the NFL, you got so much, so many rules

138
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:01,240
protecting the quarterback, like rough the passer is a joke now,

139
00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:04,600
but like so most of the injuries are from the ground. Well,

140
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,680
quarterbacks been hitting the ground in football for one hundred years,

141
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:13,680
and apparently the helmet technology has improved, so like there

142
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,680
had to been just tens of thousands undiagnosed before this

143
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,480
all happened. Because helmets are better, you're not like getting

144
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:23,560
concussions most of the time, at least as a quarterback

145
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,439
from getting hit by another person. It's usually the ground

146
00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:27,160
that causes it.

147
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 4: My god, yeah, I think I think diagnostics is a

148
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,439
big part of it. Where I mean, I think back

149
00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:35,199
to when I played in high school through college. I

150
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:38,560
can only remember one guy getting diagnosed with the concussion.

151
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,079
This is a guy who could not walk outside in

152
00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:42,079
the daylight because it was that bad. And there may

153
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,920
been a couple others, you know, because that I don't

154
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:44,920
don't recall, but I don't.

155
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:47,199
Speaker 3: I don't remember. Definitely weren't many, you know, in high school.

156
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:48,240
I remember none.

157
00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: You know.

158
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,079
Speaker 4: It's one of those things where, you know, I think

159
00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:54,399
we obviously are way more aware of it now. That's

160
00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:56,399
that's probably a bigger part. And then you know the

161
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,000
style of play. You know, we talked about that a

162
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,240
little bit with Dart. You know, he's his style. Well,

163
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,480
you know those guys are going to see it a

164
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,079
little bit more.

165
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,759
Speaker 2: You dive head first as a defender.

166
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh uh, Doc, Let's let's turn our focus to

167
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,160
a different part of the body. We saw Michael Pinnox

168
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:15,680
this past week get injured, taken off the field, and

169
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,879
the diagnosis has come with a season ending injury to

170
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:22,079
his knee. That would make I believe five of the

171
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,759
last eight seasons of him playing football, whether college or pros,

172
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:28,279
that he has had an injury that made him miss

173
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:29,959
the rest of the season. I think most of them

174
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,160
have been I think it was a shoulder, but I

175
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:33,519
think most of them have been knee injuries. So I

176
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:38,160
kind of want to talk to you about reoccurring ACL injuries,

177
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,720
reoccurring ligament injury that that you see that it needs reconstruction,

178
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,959
You need different different techniques, and I know in reconstructive

179
00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:47,879
surgery it is like you're using different parts of the

180
00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:51,480
body or cadavers or different different things to fix. But

181
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,519
what happens when you reinjured the same thing after it's

182
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,600
been reconstructed?

183
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: What is that surgery? Like? What's that recovery process?

184
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 5: How does it differ from like afresh the first time

185
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:02,279
you get injured.

186
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: Well a lot depends on how long it is in

187
00:08:04,399 --> 00:08:07,879
between it, how bad was each injury, so across the board.

188
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:09,839
It's kind of hard to say, but but yes, if

189
00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:12,120
you keep injuring the same thing, the same knee, for example,

190
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:13,920
it is gonna become more difficult.

191
00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 3: You're gonna have more because for one.

192
00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:18,079
Speaker 4: Part of how we fix these is we use graph

193
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,480
from other part part of the knee, typically the hamstring,

194
00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:23,959
the ptellerton and the quad tendon. Well, we can't keep

195
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,560
going back to the same source, So for one, you're

196
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,720
going to have to change where it's coming from. So

197
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,920
you're going to have more scar tissue in different areas.

198
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,680
So not just the ACL but you know, if we

199
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,120
take a pateellerton in one time hamstring, that's two different

200
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,440
parts of the body. It might have a little bit

201
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,559
of scar and typically people do okay with that, but

202
00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:40,159
again the more you accumulate that, and then the other

203
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,759
thing you really worry about a lot of these knee

204
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:44,919
injuries is sometimes get some cartilage damage. Maybe not even

205
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,919
something that's obvious right out of the gate, but you

206
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:48,919
know if as the bone kind of hits together, because

207
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:51,080
that's what happens with the ACL, is the two bones

208
00:08:51,159 --> 00:08:53,759
kind of hit together, and if you get some bone contusions,

209
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:55,519
you get a little cartilage injury. Then you get the

210
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:57,879
same thing happening again and again you know that's a

211
00:08:57,919 --> 00:08:59,879
knee that's gonna have more problems. You're gonna have the

212
00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:02,120
guys that you're gonna see swelling in the knee down

213
00:09:02,159 --> 00:09:03,639
the road. You're gonna see a lot of these issues,

214
00:09:04,039 --> 00:09:05,759
and then you run the risk of failure. I think

215
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,639
I think this time with the pendix, it is actually

216
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,279
the other knee, if I'm not mistaken, So he hadn't

217
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,519
injured this one. And I think we talked about that

218
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,679
a few weeks back, that some of the there's a

219
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,720
lot of reasons why guys injure their acls, and some

220
00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:18,120
of us just the way we're made, We're all made

221
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,600
a little different. There's differences in the knee. And then

222
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:23,240
you consider after an injury, you're gonna favor things, You're

223
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,399
gonna you're gonna rely more on that other leg, so

224
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,840
maybe you're putting more stress on it.

225
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of.

226
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:28,759
Speaker 3: Variables that go into this.

227
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,919
Speaker 4: We do know that if you tear one knee, your

228
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,559
likelihood of tearing the other acled is increased anywhere from

229
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,519
five to ten fold over the average population.

230
00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 2: So all right, so why is that just because of

231
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,559
the favoring of the one that you did already?

232
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:43,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a little bit of both. So

233
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,559
you're favoring it. So you know, if I injer my

234
00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:48,159
right knee, I'm just naturally gonna put more more pressure

235
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:50,440
on that left. Plus you have some time when you're down,

236
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:51,919
so even though you're trying to stay in shape, that

237
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,320
left knees you might get a little weak or two.

238
00:09:53,639 --> 00:09:55,879
And then there are some of the genetic predispositions that

239
00:09:55,879 --> 00:09:56,840
people sometimes have.

240
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,279
Speaker 3: So it's a little bit of all the above.

241
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,039
Speaker 5: So when you rea you're an acl you said you

242
00:10:02,159 --> 00:10:05,559
use graphing from other parts of the knee or that

243
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:06,759
same ligament.

244
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 2: And you repair it. Is it ever.

245
00:10:12,919 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 5: I'm sure that Brocket is, but like other places, is

246
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,639
it ever back to one hundred percent or is it

247
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,840
like ninety percent of strength? When it's fully healed with

248
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,720
a repaired ACL, it.

249
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:23,759
Speaker 3: Can get back to full strength.

250
00:10:23,759 --> 00:10:28,519
Speaker 4: In fact, sometimes your likelihood of retearing is less because

251
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,840
you have a better ACL. Sometimes, especially if you were

252
00:10:30,879 --> 00:10:33,159
one of these individuals. Maybe some people you'll see some

253
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,039
people are more loose to begin with. Some people maybe

254
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:37,559
had a thinner ligament to begin with, so we might

255
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,639
get you a little bit more robust. And they've actually

256
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,639
shown that you're actually if you have a good surgery,

257
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,639
you're probably more likely to tear the other one because

258
00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:46,039
of all those earth things we just talked about than retearing,

259
00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:47,759
as long as you take the appropriate time to heal,

260
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:48,360
that's the other thing.

261
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 3: Give it time to heal.

262
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,399
Speaker 4: If you try to go back too early, that that

263
00:10:51,399 --> 00:10:52,559
that data is kind of skewykin.

264
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 5: I like like if you get enough like screws and

265
00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:57,519
plates put on you and you're like unbreakable, unbreakable.

266
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:05,399
Speaker 2: What I'm sure sure? Gosh, who was it that? Oh

267
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,919
it was Lane Johnson for the Eagles tackle Hill that

268
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,679
he's like Hey, he's got a Liz Frank injury, and

269
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,360
it's like, yeah, but he's not considered out for the year.

270
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,720
Just shit, I'm like, hold up. Like anybody that I've

271
00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:17,960
ever known has got Liz Frank and I've gone through

272
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,120
that as well. Like, it's not a quick and easy

273
00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:24,080
process because they're different variations of Liz Frank.

274
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:25,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are. There are.

275
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 4: So if you have a mild more of a sprain,

276
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,600
so if you just sprain the joint, it can heal.

277
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
But sometimes if you have a tear or a fracture

278
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:35,240
associated with that joint, which is kind of a midfoot sprain.

279
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:37,399
You know, anytime we hear midfoot sprain, we're a little

280
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:37,879
bit nervous.

281
00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 3: That's the first.

282
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 4: It's not always a Liz Frank, but that's the one

283
00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:42,279
you worry about because that's one that's going to be

284
00:11:42,799 --> 00:11:45,559
more commonly unstable or at the very least, they're gonna

285
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:46,360
be booted.

286
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 3: Probably out for at least several weeks.

287
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 4: But if it is more on that mild a variety,

288
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,519
it might be someone who can boot up, and if

289
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,480
they respond pretty quickly, they may they may get back

290
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:54,480
a little bit more rapidly.

291
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I never usually it's like you list Frank, Like Buddy,

292
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:03,000
go ahead and sit down, list Frank. It's not like

293
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,320
it's like a person.

294
00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:09,799
Speaker 4: It's a surgeon who first diagnosed I think if I'm not

295
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,039
mistaken as French and during the Napoleon Award, so somebody

296
00:12:14,039 --> 00:12:16,279
want to fact check me, but uh, I believe it

297
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:17,120
was actually what it was.

298
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,039
Speaker 3: So I think I think that was what it was.

299
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,879
Speaker 4: To go back and double check me, but I know

300
00:12:21,919 --> 00:12:23,279
it was named after the guy first.

301
00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: I know it's not fun, so I was right. It

302
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,480
was the name of somebody I don't know. I mean,

303
00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:30,759
I think Doc's just trying to back you up here. Okay,

304
00:12:30,799 --> 00:12:34,360
there you go. He goes back to Napoleon, but he

305
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:35,120
always sounds smart.

306
00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 3: If you say Napoleonic, I mean it does.

307
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: It does, actually go, I'm pretty smart. There only a

308
00:12:40,279 --> 00:12:42,320
couple of games left. Hard to believe, but I know

309
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,360
you got some guess some high school playoff work you're

310
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:44,840
gonna be doing.

311
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll be busy too. It's a busy couple of weeks.

312
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,600
But yeah, it's crazy. We're almost there and hopefully not

313
00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:51,919
too busy. I hope not too busy. Yeah, hopefully not,

314
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,720
you know, hopefully We'll just be a good spectator. I'm

315
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,279
always happier that way, right, all.

316
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: Right, Doc, we appreciate no Doctor Steven After it's good

317
00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:02,480
enough to join us every single week here on the show.

318
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,240
Will step away more OTB coming back your way when

00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,440
you think of the highest quality custom pools, or you know,

332
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,159
maybe maybe you just want a pool that's not necessarily custom.

333
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,120

368
00:15:52,679 --> 00:15:54,399
if you remember what it used to look like with

369
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,879
the atrium. You're gonna walk in. You're gonna say, there's

370
00:15:56,919 --> 00:16:01,000
no way this is the same place, And well, it's

371
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,279
that same location, but let me just tell you it's

372
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:05,480
a little bit different. You get an upgrade, buddy, you

373
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:06,600
are You're getting Beyonce.

374
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 5: And I know that they are uber prepared at every

375
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:13,200
single level of that construction process, because when we walked

376
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,039
in there, they even had a hard hat big enough

377
00:16:15,039 --> 00:16:15,440
for Jake.

378
00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:18,159
Speaker 2: Said and yours as well.

379
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 5: That's a true good point. They'll big you know, there's

380
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,840
a couple of hard hat wears over here. We were like,

381
00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:26,440
do things fall from the ceiling? Often we're like are

382
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,440
these regulation size? Because they better be plus size?

383
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: All right? So earlier we talked about Kenny Dillingham. Wait,

384
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,559
what are you doing over there? Okay, listen up, just

385
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,559
got an update from Doc.

386
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:51,799
Speaker 5: The term list Frank originates from Jacques liz Frank de

387
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,159
Saint Martin, a French surgeon, and.

388
00:16:54,159 --> 00:16:55,919
Speaker 2: The Napoleon's are they there? You go?

389
00:16:56,159 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 5: In the early eighteen hundreds described an amputation through this

390
00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:02,279
mid foot joint do to a soldier's foot injury. So

391
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:10,519
Liz Frank's from Saint Jacques litz Frank Saint Mantine. So

392
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,960
doctors right? And technically I was right. Basically know you were.

393
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,200
I thought you were just being yourself. I'm always myself,

394
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,640
but you know what I mean. That's why I mispronounced words.

395
00:17:20,759 --> 00:17:23,559
That's why I say dumb things sometimes. That's why I

396
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:24,400
report fake.

397
00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:28,079
Speaker 2: News sometimes because I don't fact check him. Oh the

398
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,000
Drew Brees.

399
00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 5: Mm hmm, I've done it multiple times. Drew Brees is

400
00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:34,319
just the most recent one. I don't remember.

401
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 2: Well, chat GBT told me much wrong information sometimes you

402
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,680
do trust that a lot. Sorry, I'm not supposed to

403
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,279
mention chat GBT. Why I don't know who said you're

404
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:50,759
not supposed to mention it. I don't know. Someone tell

405
00:17:50,799 --> 00:17:54,240
me that make all your ideas seem like they were yours.

406
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,480
Oh no, anybody knows you knows that you lean on it.

407
00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:03,279
Oh yeah, hard on it. Coming up in about ten

408
00:18:03,319 --> 00:18:08,160
minutes from now. Very excited about this, the return of

409
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,960
coach Kim Mulkey on O TV. Set that up yesterday.

410
00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:15,400
Go to get back to our weeklies with coach Mulky

411
00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:18,559
every Wednesday. It's a plan. You know, there might be

412
00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:20,519
some weeks where it has to be a Tuesday or Thursday,

413
00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:23,319
but every Wednesday we are going to have coach Mulky.

414
00:18:23,839 --> 00:18:26,880
They are five to zero on this season. They've scored

415
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,480
one hundred points in every single game that they've played.

416
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,640
Good this year. It's pretty decent, pretty dee digis. They

417
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,799
beat two Lane on the road one oh one to

418
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,920
seventy one the other night. They've got a couple of

419
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,079
games before they've got a big non conference matchup against

420
00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:47,759
the Duke Blue Devils. So it's gonna be a lot

421
00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:50,640
of fun to continue to watch this team certainly look

422
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,920
like one of the best teams, not only in the SEC,

423
00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:57,319
in the country. They sit at number five in the country. Also,

424
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,400
the men's team got a dub last night, so keep

425
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:05,759
their record perfect as well. You know, after that's what

426
00:19:05,799 --> 00:19:09,640
that means after, you know, after a disappointing football season,

427
00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:12,559
we know that the women's team's going to be great.

428
00:19:12,599 --> 00:19:14,799
We know they're going to make a deep, deep, NCAA

429
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,759
tournament run. It would be so refreshing to see the

430
00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:21,119
men's team going a little bit of a run here.

431
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:26,319
And look, I'm realistic. I'm not saying they gonna go

432
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,240
out and win a championship, but man, if they could

433
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,559
just fit finished like right in the middle of the

434
00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:36,720
Southeastern Conference and maybe, just maybe, so.

435
00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 5: I'm gonna ask you questions on this me surprisingly enough,

436
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:44,359
not a basketball guy, I will be by Christmas, we'll

437
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,039
be locked in. But for the LSU men's basketball team, Like,

438
00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:51,519
what is a I don't even want to know what

439
00:19:51,559 --> 00:19:53,200
like a realistic ceiling. I want to know what a

440
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,079
ceiling is, an absolute ceiling, like a pipe dream ceiling.

441
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:01,240
And then what's a realistic, really good season for them?

442
00:20:01,519 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: Hmmm? I mean, I think that the ceiling would probably

443
00:20:05,039 --> 00:20:08,640
like you can't like as much as we'd want to be, like,

444
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,319
you know, Homer Purple and gold glasses, pumping sunshine, the

445
00:20:11,319 --> 00:20:14,200
whole deal. I mean, you had a conference that everyone

446
00:20:14,319 --> 00:20:16,839
made the NCAA tournament but two teams, and you were

447
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:22,200
one of the two teams. So to say that the

448
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,480
ceiling would be higher than finishing in the middle of

449
00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:26,880
the SEC, I think would be would be crazy.

450
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 6: I think if you got to a five hundred conference record,

451
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,200
that would be excellent.

452
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,079
Speaker 2: I think so, I think that's your goal. Team of

453
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,240
sixteen teams, fourteen of sixteen made the nc DOUBLEA tournament.

454
00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:39,279
You in South Carolina just learned it's only ones that

455
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,279
did not make it. So so for the games you

456
00:20:43,279 --> 00:20:46,480
have coming up, I think you have Omaha Nebraska, you

457
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,680
have Drake I believe, then you got on the road

458
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,440
against Boston College, and then you've got a test against

459
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,960
number fifteen Texas Tech. So that will kind of give

460
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,519
you an idea as you head into conference. I'm trying

461
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:03,079
to think. I know it's a challenge game, but I'm

462
00:21:03,079 --> 00:21:06,079
trying to think where. I think it's in Fort Worth.

463
00:21:06,079 --> 00:21:09,119
If I'm not mistaken, the Texas UH Tech game, so

464
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,319
we'll find out about them when they played Texas Tech.

465
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,640
Do you like to go to the games? Oh? Yeah, Hey,

466
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,119
kids love to go to the L s U men's

467
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,759
and women's basketball games. They like that it's inside. They

468
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,599
like the concessions. Wisconsant entertainment too.

469
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,599
Speaker 5: I think last week I said I didn't watch a

470
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,440
dribble last last year till the tournament.

471
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,279
Speaker 2: Uh. I actually lied on that. I forgot.

472
00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:35,519
Speaker 5: We actually took the fam to a game, all five

473
00:21:35,559 --> 00:21:36,759
of us last year. I think we have to watch

474
00:21:36,759 --> 00:21:37,480
an Auburn.

475
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:41,599
Speaker 2: And it is. It's constant entertainment.

476
00:21:41,599 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 5: There's always something happening, always something falling from the sky,

477
00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:47,480
always somebody doing something on the court, some sort of

478
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:48,559
competition or dance.

479
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: It's exciting. That's all I got on the basketball takes

480
00:21:54,839 --> 00:22:00,440
right the second you got me, you worked the game

481
00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:01,759
last night, didn't you? Sorry?

482
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,599
Speaker 6: I did not work the game. I worked the women's

483
00:22:04,599 --> 00:22:08,920
game Monday night. I followed it well, like alcorn State

484
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,880
came out lazing hot from three.

485
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: They cooled it down. But the thing I like about

486
00:22:14,519 --> 00:22:14,839
this game.

487
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 6: Everyone's going to complain, Oh, you gave up eighty one

488
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,640
points to alcorn State. I get that, but You found

489
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,960
a different way to win a basketball game, which I

490
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,519
always think makes you a better team. So far this year,

491
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,039
you've had DJ Thomas dish it out to the shooters

492
00:22:30,039 --> 00:22:31,799
and they've done a really good job from three. You

493
00:22:31,839 --> 00:22:35,160
shot twenty eight percent from three last night. That's terrible.

494
00:22:35,599 --> 00:22:36,279
Speaker 2: What did you do?

495
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 6: You were dominant in the paint fifty eight to twenty

496
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,839
eight point differential in the paint. Mikenwoko is the best

497
00:22:42,839 --> 00:22:46,200
player on this basketball team. Twenty nine points, nine rebounds.

498
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,240
Markel Sutton still hit his shots. I mean DJ Thomas

499
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,119
still had sixteen and six when the rest of the

500
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,359
guys had an offshooting night. You found a different way

501
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,279
to win this game, and I appreciate that because you're

502
00:22:57,319 --> 00:22:59,799
not always going to just stand there and knock down three.

503
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,599
Sometimes the shots aren't gonna fall for you. You found

504
00:23:02,599 --> 00:23:04,960
a way to win. However, you play like that in

505
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,160
sec play, you're gonna get beat, so fix it. But

506
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,920
nice job to find a different way to win.

507
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,079
Speaker 2: All right. So watching this team, and you and I

508
00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:14,640
have talked about this for the last couple of years, Tite,

509
00:23:16,079 --> 00:23:19,039
it's like, Okay, you've got some good stuff in the

510
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,920
non con and even last year, like you had some

511
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,400
wins against some power for teams, right, some teams that

512
00:23:24,519 --> 00:23:26,640
you felt really good about, and then it just did

513
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,480
not happen obviously in conference play, Like when you watched

514
00:23:29,559 --> 00:23:31,960
this team compared to when you watched last year's team

515
00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:34,960
so far to this point, do you think it is

516
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,359
a better made up roster and team so far?

517
00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:41,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, because you go back to look at Mat McMahon's

518
00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:44,640
time at Murray State, the times he was the most successful,

519
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,000
I get it. John Morant take him out of it.

520
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,079
When he had a dominant, pure point guard, his teams

521
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,400
were good. I think you have that. I think DJ

522
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,799
Thomas is a pure point guard. I don't really think

523
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,119
he's had that this year. Like Cam Carter was a

524
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,400
great guard last year, he wasn't a one.

525
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 2: Thomas does a good job of facilitating.

526
00:24:04,519 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 6: So far, you've been a good shooting team, but you

527
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,720
have a dominant guy down low as well. If you

528
00:24:09,759 --> 00:24:11,759
have a good point guard and you have a guy

529
00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:14,240
download that can dominate in the paint, I think you

530
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,559
could win because you're shooters. Max McKinnon's done a great job,

531
00:24:17,839 --> 00:24:21,480
Markel Sutton's been really good, Sean King's been good. Ron

532
00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:24,519
Zippers barely played because he's been hurt. He's a guy

533
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:27,039
that can shoot from the outside. You have shooters, you

534
00:24:27,079 --> 00:24:29,359
have a dominant guard, and you have a really good

535
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,039
post player. You can compete against anybody you go against.

536
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,599
Speaker 2: All Right, we're going we're gonna see like we are

537
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,839
certainly going to see. I do agree with you. It

538
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,240
does feel like it's a little bit better. The roster

539
00:24:41,319 --> 00:24:44,160
feels better. It feels like it's got some pieces that

540
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,319
you can put together and trying to make that run

541
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:50,279
in conference play because in non con last year, I

542
00:24:50,319 --> 00:24:52,480
think I know I got fooled a little bit there.

543
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,480
We'll see if they can put it together. A team

544
00:24:54,519 --> 00:24:58,119
that we know has it together and we know is

545
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,319
going to make the NCAA tournament and going to make

546
00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:03,480
a run, the LSU women's basketball team, and we catch

547
00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:05,720
up with their head coach, Kim Mulkey when we come

548
00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:08,000
back here on Oak t beat.

don't see the per day rental prices. You don't see

Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in OTV here live from the

584
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,640
Raise of Canes Studio. Very very excited for this next conversation.

585
00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:44,640
Over the last couple of years, we've been lucky enough

586
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,480
to have coach Kim Mulkey join us every single week

587
00:26:47,599 --> 00:26:51,440
during the basketball season. Excited to get this conversation. Go

588
00:26:51,519 --> 00:26:54,240
and coach, we appreciate your time so much. Thanks for

589
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,720
hopping on with us. Thanks for joining us.

590
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:57,599
Speaker 8: Good morning.

591
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,759
Speaker 7: Can you guys hear me? I'm out walking and then

592
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,480
have an echo? Can you hear me?

593
00:27:01,559 --> 00:27:02,079
Speaker 8: Okay?

594
00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 2: Uh, hey, coach, we'll do this. We'll call hey, call

595
00:27:06,319 --> 00:27:08,279
us on the number that we called you on, and

596
00:27:08,279 --> 00:27:11,559
I think the echo will go away. So you got

597
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,400
to call me back, No, Coach, I think if you

598
00:27:13,519 --> 00:27:16,319
call us, I think the echo goes away. So whatever

599
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,279
number we called you from, I think if you call

600
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,039
us back, I think the echo goes away. All right,

601
00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:26,920
I'll call you right back, right, coach. Uh. I don't

602
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,519
know why. I don't know why all these fancy buttons

603
00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:32,720
and cameras and different things because I've been a guest

604
00:27:32,839 --> 00:27:35,039
on you know, shows on this station before, or call

605
00:27:35,079 --> 00:27:37,319
it in when I've been out of town. Sometimes you

606
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,839
just get the echo. Or you just told a legend

607
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,759
of Hall of Famer to call you back. Please. You

608
00:27:43,799 --> 00:27:53,640
didn't say please, I did that. I just did dude,

609
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,680
doo doude doo doo doo doo. That's all right. This

610
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,240
would be the first time I've ever talked with her. Yeah,

611
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,920
I told her you were slippy. Don't worry. Oh, yeah,

612
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,400
for sure yesterday when I was getting everything set up.

613
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,599
It's obvious. Yeah, no question about it. Coach Mulky, we

614
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:07,920
got you.

615
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 8: You've got me.

616
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 2: There we go. It's a little bit better, so we'll

617
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,880
see how it goes. How are you how You've been

618
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,519
off to a great start so far in the season.

619
00:28:17,599 --> 00:28:19,880
We miss having you on the show. We kicked t

620
00:28:20,039 --> 00:28:22,480
Bob out. He's now in Chicago freezing in the snow.

621
00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:24,200
But we got Matt Flynn here with us, so we're

622
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,079
glad to have you back on.

623
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:28,279
Speaker 8: Can you hear me?

624
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,559
Speaker 2: Guys? Oh, we got you? Do you have us?

625
00:28:32,279 --> 00:28:33,279
Speaker 8: I think I heard you.

626
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 7: I'm not coming across clearly apologized. Yeah, Matt, welcome to

627
00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:42,200
the show man. I know y'all been doing this during

628
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,519
football season, but I watched you fling the ball a

629
00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:45,880
little bit in your day as well.

630
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,599
Speaker 2: That's right, coach. It's an honor to talk to you.

631
00:28:48,759 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 5: You are an absolute legend, and like, look, I've known

632
00:28:52,759 --> 00:28:54,480
and followed your career for a long time. I grew

633
00:28:54,559 --> 00:28:57,279
up in Texas. My whole family was a Baylor fan

634
00:28:57,319 --> 00:29:00,559
of a big coach, Ken Moulkey fans. I've been a

635
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,119
long time, so it's a pleasure, in an honor to

636
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:03,599
talk to you.

637
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,319
Speaker 7: Well, Well, tell me if I'm right or wrong. Why

638
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,920
do I have Tyler Texas in my brain when it.

639
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:09,359
Speaker 8: Comes to you.

640
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:10,279
Speaker 2: You nailed it.

641
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 5: Tyler Texas. My dad, my whole family went there. My

642
00:29:12,759 --> 00:29:16,519
dad played quarterback there in the sixties. Oh yeah, I

643
00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:18,559
don't know how you know that, but that's amazing.

644
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,839
Speaker 7: I keep up with sports, not all sports, the main

645
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,400
three that those of us from the South played basketball, baseball,

646
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,319
and football. So an odd thing or two about athletes.

647
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 8: Hester. You know, he thinks he's from South Louisiana and

648
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,880
that's four. Grew up in North Louisiana.

649
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: Call that sheep East Texas. Hey, I'd rather that than

650
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:43,359
southern Arkansas. But you're right through one eight through one

651
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,519
great no question about a coach, So and your and.

652
00:29:46,599 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 8: Y'all's boy, the old center, the old lineman.

653
00:29:49,799 --> 00:29:52,519
Speaker 7: I bet he's freezing his rear end off about now

654
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,359
in the big Chicago. You know the thing about Chicago,

655
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,559
which is a great sports town that way, but the

656
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,200
thing about Chicago, when you're ready to go fishing, all

657
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:01,559
you can do.

658
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 8: Is ice fish. You know, he's down here. We can

659
00:30:04,119 --> 00:30:05,680
bass dish, but he's.

660
00:30:05,559 --> 00:30:07,319
Speaker 7: Got to go chop a hole in the water and

661
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,039
figure out how to do all that stuff.

662
00:30:09,839 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: Uh, coach, you know, like that first true like winter morning,

663
00:30:13,559 --> 00:30:15,799
because you know he's lived in Atlanta, he's lived in

664
00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:18,400
South Louisiana his whole life. And you know, Matt played

665
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,839
in Green Bay, I played in Denver. You've obviously, you know,

666
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,920
been across the country watching different things coaching, so you've

667
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,559
experienced it. You know that hit him like a ton

668
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,599
of bricks that first morning he woke up and it

669
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,680
was like real snow, not just some ice here in

670
00:30:30,759 --> 00:30:31,519
South Louisiana.

671
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 8: I bet he had to go spend some money and

672
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:35,759
buy his whole family.

673
00:30:35,559 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 2: Jacket real jackets too.

674
00:30:40,319 --> 00:30:40,839
Speaker 7: You got it.

675
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,559
Speaker 8: Well, when you guys talk to him, tell.

676
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,079
Speaker 2: Him hello, absolutely, absolutely will coach. And so again, so

677
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,000
excited to have you back on the show. And obviously,

678
00:30:49,119 --> 00:30:51,640
like every year, it's going to be a new team.

679
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,839
You're gonna have new players. Now you've got some returning players,

680
00:30:53,839 --> 00:30:57,039
some very good returning players, but you know, with today's

681
00:30:57,079 --> 00:30:59,920
college basketball, you're gonna have some new on every ross.

682
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,480
And so every year though, I always give you so

683
00:31:02,599 --> 00:31:05,319
much credit because it feels like whichever team you're coaching,

684
00:31:05,359 --> 00:31:09,119
they kind of take that personality of their head coach, right,

685
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,200
and we know you coach tough and confident and discipline.

686
00:31:12,839 --> 00:31:15,799
How do you go about building that every single year

687
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,039
when you get new faces kind of Okay, here's what

688
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,319
it is, here's how we're going to go about our business.

689
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,079
And how do you kind of lay that out for

690
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,240
the new players that you have.

691
00:31:24,279 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 8: Well, I think it starts in recruiting. It starts.

692
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,839
Speaker 7: With you sitting down with those young athletes that you're

693
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,759
recruiting into your program. Most of the time, they know

694
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,319
the style of play, they know my personality. They don't

695
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,079
know me know me because they have all the social

696
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,920
media lives they have to you know, Wade through and

697
00:31:46,039 --> 00:31:49,319
they have all those things, but I think they enjoy

698
00:31:49,559 --> 00:31:50,920
what we tell them.

699
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 8: You're going to be you.

700
00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:56,519
Speaker 7: I want personalities on that floor. It's a game of entertainment.

701
00:31:57,039 --> 00:31:59,720
But once you you just kind of wade through that,

702
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,119
there's two things. If you will defend and you will rebound.

703
00:32:04,519 --> 00:32:07,559
Speaker 8: We're going to have success. Right now, we're scoring a

704
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:08,200
lot of points.

705
00:32:08,279 --> 00:32:14,279
Speaker 7: Guys, listen, I used all this non conference as basically preseason,

706
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:17,480
as you guys would say training camp in football.

707
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 8: I don't have our kids come in the summer.

708
00:32:21,079 --> 00:32:23,319
Speaker 7: I don't require them to show up and we go

709
00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:24,920
and we grind in the summer.

710
00:32:25,519 --> 00:32:26,759
Speaker 8: I like my summers off.

711
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 7: They like to go play different USA Basketball teams and

712
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,160
go on vacations. So I look at these months as

713
00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:37,440
I'm still evaluating it. I'm still trying to figure out

714
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:38,079
who needs.

715
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:38,599
Speaker 8: To play with who.

716
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 7: So as we play these teams and we're scoring a

717
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,400
lot of points, I'm not looking at that. I'm actually

718
00:32:44,519 --> 00:32:46,079
looking at we're pretty sorry.

719
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,079
Speaker 8: The second half at.

720
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 7: Two Lanes, we allowed straight line drive. We did all

721
00:32:50,319 --> 00:32:53,680
those things poorly, and I've got to make them better rebounding.

722
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,319
We got out rebounded, and we won by thirty that's

723
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,759
not cool. So those are the things that they've got

724
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,359
to do if they want to play for me, and

725
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,680
we'll get better. Did I think this team when I

726
00:33:04,839 --> 00:33:09,079
signed those kids and they returning players came back, did

727
00:33:09,119 --> 00:33:10,599
I think this is what I would?

728
00:33:11,079 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 8: Yet? Not necessarily early.

729
00:33:14,359 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 7: I had no idea that we'd be able to shoot

730
00:33:16,279 --> 00:33:18,640
the three ball like we do well, let it fly,

731
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,920
and so that's why we're scoring a.

732
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 8: Lot of points.

733
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, coach, I think I think scored triple digits

734
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,559
and all of the games this year, So I think

735
00:33:28,559 --> 00:33:31,039
I was. I was looking at those numbers. I'm like, man,

736
00:33:31,599 --> 00:33:33,440
you have to be some sort of Hall of fame coach.

737
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,200
You try to find motivation of that because like in

738
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,880
the football, you go watch film, you learn from mistakes, right,

739
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,839
you learn, And you just pointed out a couple of mistakes,

740
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,720
a couple of sloppiness that you saw from the team.

741
00:33:41,799 --> 00:33:45,319
But when you're scoring at that clip, it's probably you know,

742
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,240
there's a mentality involved when you're talking to two young

743
00:33:49,319 --> 00:33:51,559
women at the age they are when you when you win,

744
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,440
and when you win by a lot and you're scoring

745
00:33:53,599 --> 00:33:55,480
like you are, you have to have a coach that

746
00:33:55,519 --> 00:33:57,079
can really kind of humble them and take them back down.

747
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,200
So is it difficult finding the coachable moments in.

748
00:34:00,359 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 2: Games like that?

749
00:34:02,599 --> 00:34:06,519
Speaker 7: The difficult part is to keep them focused. The difficult

750
00:34:06,599 --> 00:34:09,079
part is to keep them from looking at that scoreboard

751
00:34:09,119 --> 00:34:12,320
and get sloppy. So what you do in the course

752
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,559
of the game and a timeout. I may look at

753
00:34:14,559 --> 00:34:18,199
one individual player and say, kids scored on you twice. Now,

754
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,159
don't let her score again the rest of the half

755
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,239
or the rest of the game.

756
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,599
Speaker 8: Just give them little goals during the course of that game.

757
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,519
I like this team. When a coach can say I

758
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:30,679
like my team.

759
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,639
Speaker 7: And win and go to work every day looking at them, Man,

760
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,159
that makes for just a great locker room. And I

761
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,760
really do This team is a joy to coach. I

762
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,920
don't have to deal with outside drama away from the court,

763
00:34:45,039 --> 00:34:47,679
which every coach in America has to deal with every year.

764
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:51,480
And they pull for each other. I mean they pull

765
00:34:51,559 --> 00:34:53,280
for each other. Look, got five or six kids.

766
00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:55,199
Speaker 8: Averaging in double figures and.

767
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:56,599
Speaker 7: They're happy for each other.

768
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, and coaching That was actually going to be my

769
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:02,199
next question because you have so many players that are

770
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,920
scoring the basketball. And last year we talked a lot

771
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,119
about rotation and how many players you were going to

772
00:35:07,199 --> 00:35:09,639
keep in your rotation. So when you're playing these games

773
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,480
and you're having a lot of success, like, is it

774
00:35:12,559 --> 00:35:14,800
kind of hard? Like what are those conversations like maybe

775
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,599
with your assistance, because as you get closer and closer

776
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,000
to league play, I know you are having those conversations.

777
00:35:21,079 --> 00:35:23,000
So like when you're trying to figure out maybe how

778
00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:24,559
many players are going to be a part of a

779
00:35:24,639 --> 00:35:28,119
true rotation, like how often are y'all having those conversations?

780
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,079
Speaker 8: Well, I'll give you an example. In the film room yesterday.

781
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,719
It's all we did win the film room and we

782
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,320
watched two lane.

783
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 7: We didn't even prepare for off corn. I'm not worrying

784
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,079
about off corn. I'm worrying about LSU, right. And then

785
00:35:42,159 --> 00:35:45,840
we went on the floor and we ran thirteen down

786
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,679
and back under twelve seconds because we not thirteen twelve

787
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,000
Excuse me, because we missed twelve free throws. Yeah, and

788
00:35:53,159 --> 00:35:55,960
then we did a little free throw competition for a

789
00:35:56,039 --> 00:35:59,320
little while. As I said with them in that locker

790
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,199
room and film room, I reminded them, I'm not I

791
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,079
don't have a set starting five. You may see a

792
00:36:05,159 --> 00:36:08,519
different group out there every game because I'm I'm so

793
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:09,719
blessed that I have that.

794
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,679
Speaker 8: Much talent, and you better produce.

795
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,119
Speaker 7: While you're out there or somebody else is going to

796
00:36:15,159 --> 00:36:17,719
get an opportunity. And that's not a threat. And I

797
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,800
know players don't like looking over their shoulder, but when

798
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,239
it's this new into the season and you've got that

799
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,840
kind of competition on the floor every day and practice,

800
00:36:27,559 --> 00:36:29,159
hey next man up.

801
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, coach.

802
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 5: So I wanted to give you kind of the chance

803
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,400
here you know, this show in the morning. I mean

804
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,199
it's middle of football season. We've been so hot and

805
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,559
heavy with football and talking coaches and talking talking everything crazy.

806
00:36:42,639 --> 00:36:44,599
Speaker 2: We we are a couple of things going on in

807
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:46,960
going on in the football program.

808
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 5: I know it's wild, but it's a it's it's the

809
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,960
first time we've had you as the privilege having you

810
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,000
on the show since the season started for you all.

811
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,719
So it's a new year, new look, new faces. I

812
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,280
wanted to give you a chance, like to introduce the listeners,

813
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:04,920
like kind of during this time of the time of

814
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,920
the day, like to the team, the new you have

815
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,519
Malaysia full Wiley k Cobol sixty five in the post,

816
00:37:09,559 --> 00:37:11,599
like you got some new players, you got some returning

817
00:37:11,639 --> 00:37:15,159
players you kind of introduced like this new team twenty

818
00:37:15,199 --> 00:37:16,360
twenty six.

819
00:37:18,119 --> 00:37:21,519
Speaker 7: Well, obviously we can score the ball. And I would

820
00:37:21,559 --> 00:37:24,400
tell people who will watch from Afar even if you

821
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,320
don't come to the games, well, shame on you if

822
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,760
you don't come to the game, because you're going to

823
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,679
miss out on seeing some tremendous female athletes that just

824
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,400
know how to play at an elite level. You're gonna

825
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,719
see happiness. You're going to see kids who have smiles

826
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:39,519
on their faces.

827
00:37:40,159 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 8: They enjoy playing.

828
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,079
Speaker 7: I mean, there are a lot of athletes that play

829
00:37:45,159 --> 00:37:47,480
these sports because they're just good at it and that's

830
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,719
all they've ever known, and that's all they've ever done.

831
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,039
Speaker 8: It's like they enjoy going out.

832
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,679
Speaker 7: There and getting a steal or making a big bucket.

833
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,880
And I think that I had no idea that we

834
00:38:01,039 --> 00:38:05,119
would be this cohesive, but it's sure is fun, especially

835
00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:07,119
when you get to the latter part of your career

836
00:38:07,159 --> 00:38:11,199
as a coach. What runs coaches out nowadays? Look at Saban,

837
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,679
he got out then ales tired of that. The coaches

838
00:38:14,679 --> 00:38:17,119
will get out because the kids, how many times have

839
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:21,159
you heard it, They're just different. Now I get to

840
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,840
stay in it because I've been able through the generations

841
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,639
of kids I've coached adapt. You don't have to change

842
00:38:27,679 --> 00:38:29,800
who you are as a coach, but you have to

843
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,800
adapt in ways you motivate young people, and they make

844
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,079
me adapt because.

845
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 8: It is fun to go to practice.

846
00:38:38,639 --> 00:38:41,119
Speaker 2: Coaching Matt, you know, kind of joke there, but we

847
00:38:41,199 --> 00:38:43,000
all know there has been a lot going on in

848
00:38:43,079 --> 00:38:46,400
the athletic department, certainly, like for you, like when you're

849
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,440
like you're starting your season and so there's so much

850
00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:50,559
going on. There's a lot of change. You get a

851
00:38:50,599 --> 00:38:52,880
new president, you get a new ad, you're looking for

852
00:38:53,199 --> 00:38:55,920
a new football coach. Like, is that something that you

853
00:38:56,039 --> 00:38:59,000
even right now, you know, can even worry about because

854
00:38:59,039 --> 00:39:01,440
you're so like ingreat like in the season and trying

855
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,719
to get ready for your team's run right now.

856
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,639
Speaker 7: Pester, let me tell you this story, and this is

857
00:39:08,079 --> 00:39:12,719
just put it kind of in perspective from me, my son,

858
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,840
y'all know. Kramer, Yeah, he said, Mom, have you ever

859
00:39:17,039 --> 00:39:23,480
just stepped back to realize the amount of turmoil that

860
00:39:23,639 --> 00:39:26,320
you have had to clean up without really realizing it?

861
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,320
And I'm like, what are you talking about? So he

862
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,840
took me back to my days at Baylor. He said,

863
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,360
do you remember you won your first championship in two

864
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:40,440
thousand and five and your theme was be the shining Light.

865
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,800
The previous year you had the murder in men's basketball,

866
00:39:45,519 --> 00:39:48,679
and you had all the cameras there and all the

867
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,119
national trucks there every day. And he said, you just

868
00:39:51,199 --> 00:39:54,559
want about your business, and you helped to erase some

869
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,440
of that by just being a positive by winning it.

870
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,320
He goes, let's go to the art briwt again. At Baylor,

871
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:02,280
you then.

872
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,519
Speaker 8: Want a national championship.

873
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 7: To help erase some of that and put Baylor back

874
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,960
into a positive light. He goes, it wouldn't surprise me

875
00:40:11,039 --> 00:40:13,960
if you did it this year at LSU. And I

876
00:40:14,159 --> 00:40:17,719
just laughed and I said, you know, buddy, I just work.

877
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,079
And he says, but the timing of things that you

878
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:24,440
have helped indirectly without realizing it, because you know how

879
00:40:24,559 --> 00:40:28,400
to compartmentalize mom and focus on your team. And so

880
00:40:28,679 --> 00:40:31,199
I've been thinking about that ever since he brought it up.

881
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,519
This is not new to me. This is something that

882
00:40:34,639 --> 00:40:39,519
I have dealt with at Baylor numerous times. I hate

883
00:40:39,559 --> 00:40:44,519
it because Scott hired me. I don't still to this day,

884
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,400
understand all the political stuff going on behind the scenes

885
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,599
because I don't have a political bone in my body.

886
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,679
I love everybody, I love all cultures, I love both parties.

887
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,559
But I just focused on my job, and my job

888
00:40:58,679 --> 00:41:01,039
is to put LSU in a good light in the

889
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:03,199
win basketball games and championships.

890
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 5: That's a great perspective coach, and like, and I think,

891
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,639
and it's great to like kind of look back on

892
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,880
that and Cramer for pointing that out, because I think

893
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,360
you get to that point because you're always yourself and

894
00:41:16,519 --> 00:41:19,599
genuine and focused on the people around you and making

895
00:41:19,639 --> 00:41:22,480
them better. And that's why you're a legend coach. So well,

896
00:41:22,559 --> 00:41:24,239
appreciate that answer. We appreciate you.

897
00:41:24,559 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 2: And uh, that's just that's fantastic perspective.

898
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,079
Speaker 8: Well, you guys, you guys make my morning.

899
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,519
Speaker 7: I'm out walking doing my usual walk. Took my grape

900
00:41:34,559 --> 00:41:38,000
juice this morning and gonna just walk the neighborhood and

901
00:41:38,119 --> 00:41:40,559
think about what we need to do and practice today

902
00:41:40,639 --> 00:41:43,280
to get better and bring you kids.

903
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 8: Matt, you married with children. I know, hester is that's right.

Speaker 5: I got three happily happily Mary with three kids ten

910
00:42:03,599 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, that is that is very true, coach.

911
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,639
You know we're gonna bring our entire crew, uh to

912
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,400

913
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,800
