25
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:50,680
a lot here. A lot of good happened over the

26
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,280
last couple of days in sports, certainly for Team USA.

27
00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:57,439
Let's get to some weekend winners.

28
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: That's how wit it has done, right.

29
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:02,799
Speaker 4: We can't have anyone to freak out out there.

30
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:06,359
Speaker 5: Okay, he's got a k bark apologer, got too far.

31
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:10,159
Speaker 2: I'm by winning. I went here and I win there.

32
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 6: Now, what are you doing what it takes to win

33
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,120
a championship?

34
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:15,599
Speaker 7: Wow?

35
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: Winning? Well, then I guess there's only one thing left

36
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:28,719
to do. What's that win the whole thing? All right?

37
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,879
Speaker 3: My first weekend winter is the Hughes family. So on Wednesday,

38
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,080
when Hughes scores the ot goal to send the US

39
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,840
to the semi finals. On Thursday, Ellen Hughes wins gold

40
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,199
with the women's US hockey team, and on Friday, Jack

41
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,400
Hughes scores two goals to help send the US to

42
00:02:48,439 --> 00:02:50,800
the finals. And then, of course we know how it

43
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,719
ended for the Hughes family there in overtime in Italy.

44
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,759
Speaker 8: So pretty decent.

45
00:02:56,879 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: Pretty decent run for the Hughes family there when it

46
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:03,599
comes to achievements only ice in Italy. You got some brothers,

47
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:06,319
you got a sister. Pretty good jeans there for the

48
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:07,199
old Hughes family.

49
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:07,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't.

50
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 9: Then their mother played for women's team, coached as well.

51
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, assuming their father played.

52
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think you mentioned it earlier too, Taylor father coached.

53
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: I believe that right. Yeah, he coached on NHL.

54
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:25,039
Speaker 7: He was in Toronto for a little bit and all that.

55
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 9: So they like hockey in that family, that is what

56
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,759
you're saying. Yeah, and they're pretty good at it. They're

57
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,879
pretty decent. Golden medal's coming home.

58
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:35,039
Speaker 8: Yeah, and they're decently impactful.

59
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 9: I think in those games fantastic. Well, let's stick on

60
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,960
the ice, let's stick with hockey for my first week

61
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,240
in winter. I'm just gonna give this one er to

62
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:50,319
the whole US men's hockey team, not just what they

63
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,159
did during the game is certainly I'm giving it to

64
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,879
what they did after the game. American hockey player Johnny

65
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,360
Goudro Kodro good dr good Drow.

66
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: You're saying it like a Louisian. I know I wanted

67
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:05,120
to say, go true.

68
00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 9: I passed away last year due to getting hit on

69
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,719
a bicycle actually for a drunk driver. Well after the game,

70
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,079
Zach Warinski and Dylan Larkin had the idea that they

71
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,120
would go and bring their family onto the ice. And

72
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,560
so they went out and they got the children, brought

73
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,000
them on there and honored the late Johnny good drew

74
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,759
and took this team picture, which is awesome. So that

75
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:34,160
right there, we'll bring a tier to a glass eye,

76
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,720
no doubt honoring therefore a lot of them, a lot

77
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:39,800
of the players on the team, their former teammate certainly

78
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,120
a guy that would have been on the team potentially.

79
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:42,759
Speaker 2: Uh.

80
00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:45,879
Speaker 9: And so they shared the moment, shared the spotlight in

81
00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:49,879
just getting these gold medals. They thought of the bigger picture,

82
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,240
thought of family and uh we can learn from them.

83
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,079
Speaker 10: Uh yeah, that's super Uh probably like the most emotional

84
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:02,800
moment of the weekend. Like winning great obviously also super emotional.

85
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,639
But to bring like your teammates kids out, hold up

86
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:09,920
his jersey and just super sad, tragic weight like young

87
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:14,040
his brother was there too and they both passed away.

88
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:15,399
Speaker 11: It's just terrible.

89
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 9: They said they wanted to bring the whole family out there,

90
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,879
but they couldn't the gate.

91
00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:21,399
Speaker 2: This a little bit difficult.

92
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:27,399
Speaker 10: To get the ku chuck. That's how you say it,

93
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:29,680
jump Ku chuck. Brothers class acts.

94
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: Love them those guys and who was the other guys

95
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,120
would fight anybody that you in front of them to,

96
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,279
I don't care.

97
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:40,439
Speaker 9: Come on Olympics. Let's let's let fights happen in the Olympics.

98
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 10: So we were thinking about this on Friday. Do the

99
00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:50,720
women hockey teams do they fight too? They get down?

100
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:52,759
Speaker 7: I like it after.

101
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: Very much. You got to practice that because it's not

102
00:05:55,879 --> 00:05:56,639
like a regular fight.

103
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,399
Speaker 11: This is I'm grabbing a jersey and I'm.

104
00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: You got to tie your jersey to.

105
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, with the punch, that's gonna be hard to do. Probably,

106
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,720
I gotta practice that a lot.

107
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,079
Speaker 9: I mean I wonder how much time for some of

108
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,680
those guys that spent on the ice fighting technique.

109
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 11: Yeah, like I would take some boxing classes experience.

110
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,959
Speaker 3: If you're gonna be enforcer, you gotta go out there

111
00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:23,279
like you better have something that's right.

112
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:27,399
Speaker 9: But like with regular boots on in a street fight,

113
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:31,279
it's a lot different. It's a lot of different strategy there. Yeah,

114
00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:33,800
it might not be great there. If you can get

115
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,879
the time in between the Jersey Pool and the punch.

116
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,800
You got something like the old past rush move, the

117
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:41,399
push pull.

118
00:06:44,079 --> 00:06:47,319
Speaker 10: I've got a couple of weekend losers and maybe just

119
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:48,759
like losers.

120
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 11: Uh Hunter Hess, do y'all remember him?

121
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,519
Speaker 10: He's like when he's a freestyle skier that came out

122
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,600
and said he had quote mixed emotions about representing the

123
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,199
United States during the Olympics, which.

124
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 11: Whatever, dude, Like, you're literally at.

125
00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 10: The pinnacle of where a lot of people want to

126
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,959
be and you're just gonna criticize whatever. Ended up finishing

127
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,160
tenth in the event. And then there were a couple

128
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:21,079
other people that also were critical. A couple other people

129
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:24,160
that represent America in the Olympics and are critical of America.

130
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 11: Amber Glynn she was a figure skater.

131
00:07:27,439 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 10: She finished outside of the medals so did not medal,

132
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,560
So anybody. Jesse Diggins, she also was a cross country

133
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,279
skier that also criticized America. She earned a bronze medal,

134
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,439
so third. Anybody that was criticizing America and saying that

135
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,399
they felt mixed emotions about representing them ended up doing terribly.

136
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: That's wild.

137
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 9: At least they did represent America and like that. The

138
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,839
one skier the half I think the half pipe skier

139
00:07:56,279 --> 00:08:00,120
island go or yeah, with the China she took he

140
00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:03,399
took a payday to go and compete for China. On

141
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:08,839
the other hand, women's figure skater, Oh god, I'm baking

142
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,360
our name. Lou Alyssa, Lou Alyssa Lou she did the opposite.

143
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,279
She did not yeat the pay day. That's a fantastic story.

144
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,120
She would definitely be a winner. Yes, and then the

145
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,839
island loser.

146
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, loser.

147
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: Go live in China.

148
00:08:29,959 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 7: SHOT's great there, Yeah, we can winner for me. I

149
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,919
gotta stick with what Jake did with the with the hockey,

150
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,720
but all the all the comparisons in the lines that

151
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,840
match up. Like when I turned on the TV yesterday,

152
00:08:44,879 --> 00:08:47,480
So the big graphic forty six years to the day

153
00:08:47,919 --> 00:08:50,000
of the nineteen eighty miracle on ice team when they

154
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,799
defeated the Soviet Union. How fitting was that?

155
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: Uh?

156
00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:56,279
Speaker 7: The US women beat Canada two to one in overtime

157
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,159
to win gold. The men did the exact same thing,

158
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,519
and Jake mentioned the Hughes family. I want to mention

159
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,120
brock Nelson here real quick. So Rock Nelson wins gold

160
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:10,840
on the team yesterday, his uncle or his I should say,

161
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:16,120
his great uncle was on the nineteen fifty six US

162
00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:20,360
hockey team, his other great uncle won the gold in

163
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,720
nineteen sixty, and his uncle Dave Christian was on the

164
00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:28,120
nineteen eighty Miracle on Ice hockey team. So every single

165
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,440
gold medal that the US has ever won in hockey,

166
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,720
someone in brock Nelson's family has been on that roster.

167
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,159
So that is a really cool thing to see from them.

168
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,679
That is a hockey family if I have ever seen one.

169
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:42,519
So shout out to brock Nelson and the Christian family.

170
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was incredible, and again like for it to

171
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,840
be to the day that like Placid happen, it's even

172
00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:52,000
more incredible. And you know, last thing on hockey, the

173
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,840
White House tweeting out the eagle on top of the goose.

174
00:09:54,919 --> 00:09:58,399
Speaker 2: Oh, it's fantastic, pretty good quote tweet.

175
00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 9: They're quote tweeting justin right, I think true saying you

176
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,320
can't take our.

177
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: Country and you're not going to take our game.

178
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:07,759
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm not gonna take our country and not take

179
00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:11,120
our sport. Sorry. Great's Paul Diagel.

180
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: You know we love pettin us here on OTV uh

181
00:10:14,639 --> 00:10:17,039
wee can winner for me. So I'm gonna go to

182
00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:20,759
LSU women's basketball beating Missouri a bazillion to fifty five.

183
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,759
It was oneay to fifty five. LSU basketball just dominated

184
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:27,639
the game. So like that in itself, that's an impressive

185
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,279
win the way they did it, but even more impressive.

186
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,000
And I haven't had a chance to be here last

187
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,120
week obviously we were out the Old Miss victory for

188
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,519
LSU women's basketball on the road. That was as impressive

189
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,039
as a victory as you will see.

190
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: Now.

191
00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:44,759
Speaker 3: Ole Miss is a good basketball team. They're a top

192
00:10:44,799 --> 00:10:47,840
twenty basketball team. Right, it's not the fact that you

193
00:10:47,919 --> 00:10:50,039
got to win against them, it's the fact that you

194
00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:53,840
outscored them twenty four to seven in the fourth quarter.

195
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:56,759
You did not allow a field goal in the fourth quarter,

196
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,799
the entire quarter. You shut them down. You locked them

197
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:06,000
up on defense, your stars shine bright on offense. And

198
00:11:06,039 --> 00:11:08,440
you went out there and you stole that game. Because

199
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,159
Ole Miss had a big lead, right, it looked like

200
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,399
they were going to pull away a couple of different times.

201
00:11:14,759 --> 00:11:16,279
Speaker 8: You didn't allow them to pull away.

202
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 3: You stayed in the game, you took their best shots,

203
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,279
you were still standing tall. And then you became the aggressor.

204
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,240
You started counterpunching out of your corner and then you

205
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:28,679
beat them and again outscoring them twenty four to seven

206
00:11:29,159 --> 00:11:30,120
in the fourth quarter.

207
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,759
Speaker 8: I thought it was an incredible game.

208
00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 3: One of those games that you can kind of look

209
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,200
back on and depending on where LSU season ends up,

210
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,879
and say that was one of the defining moments of

211
00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:39,440
their season.

212
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,879
Speaker 8: Again, this is an old Miss team that.

213
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,519
Speaker 3: Twenty one and eight on the year now, but at

214
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:47,360
that time, you know, I think they were twenty one

215
00:11:47,399 --> 00:11:50,559
and six going into that game, and so that was

216
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:51,200
a good team.

217
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 8: I was a team that at that time was.

218
00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 3: Eight and four in the league, just like you were

219
00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:57,000
eight and four in the league at the same record.

220
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,679
So to go on the road, to be down multiple times,

221
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,279
and you don't think ole Miss after what's happened over

222
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:05,240
the last couple of months between LSU and ole Miss

223
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,360
won in that game. That's the biggest crowd that they've had,

224
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,279
I believe ever, I think it's the biggest crowd they've

225
00:12:10,279 --> 00:12:13,519
ever had for a women's basket Stephen A. Smith took

226
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:16,200
a private jet to Oxford to go watch the game.

227
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:19,200
Coachio called out the fans and so they showed up

228
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,919
and uh, and then you know there was some bitterness

229
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,559
to LSU after Lshue was victorious there. But what a

230
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,840
game it was for LSU women's basketball. They get the

231
00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:34,200
dubs seventy eight to seventy week in winter, all right,

232
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,440
I got one last week in winter. We are going

233
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:40,759
to stick with the Olympics.

234
00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:42,919
Speaker 8: I didn't want to play at the Jack Hughes.

235
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:48,039
Speaker 2: Too, Taylor, do you have a message? He's flowing it up.

236
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 9: Okay, So my last week in winter is going to

237
00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:55,240
be one of the best to ever do it, and certainly,

238
00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:58,000
in my opinion, the best to do it now. Mike Tarika,

239
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,080
his voice and the way he interacts with interviews and

240
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,840
the way he can just sit there and wax poetically

241
00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:11,639
about all sports and in detail about everything, the best

242
00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:15,279
to do it. And he had a fantastic sign off

243
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,519
to the Olympics last night.

244
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 2: We're gonna play right here.

245
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 6: Because of a drought that almost lasted a half century,

246
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,679
those teams are revered, they are held on to forever.

247
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:27,320
And what happened today doesn't take away from the greatness

248
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,840
of those teams or the meeting that those teams have

249
00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:33,799
in US hockey. But what you saw today was the

250
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,080
build of a generation, inspired perhaps by that team that

251
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,120
lost in twenty ten in Vancouver to the Sydney Crosby

252
00:13:40,159 --> 00:13:43,519
golden goal in overtime, or the team where tj Oshan

253
00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:46,720
all those shootout goals in twenty fourteen. That's when these

254
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:50,120
guys were doing what you're doing. Watch it on TV,

255
00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:52,720
and they were young and they were living the dream.

256
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,559
So for all the young people out there, not just

257
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,600
the hockey, but all the Olympics you've watched, those dreams

258
00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:01,639
are formed. Now, go chase him and go get him

259
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,480
because our country loves sports and it brings us together

260
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,360
unlike anything else. And if you didn't know that, if

261
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,919
you haven't been watching the last two weeks, you saw

262
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,919
it in tm USA hockey winning the goal over there

263
00:14:12,919 --> 00:14:15,440
are trivel Canada here in Milan to wrap up these

264
00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:17,440
twenty fifth Olympic winner games.

265
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,679
Speaker 9: Greatest to do it right there? That was awesome. What

266
00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:24,440
a great sign. I don't know if it's ad libbed,

267
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,000
I don't know if it's scripted. I don't know what

268
00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:28,720
it is. It doesn't really matter. Something tells me that

269
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,120
he just shot from the hip a little bit. Yeah,

270
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:37,399
that's that's There's no there's no ums in there. There's

271
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,519

279

00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,240
I mean, obviously our studio sponsor, we love Canes. We

284
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,720
see in a company they were outside of raising canes

285
00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:36,039
in Seattle, Santa Ana, California, Portage, Michigan. Common theme in

286
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:42,840
those cities. Pet supporters were exposing the terror of slaughter houses. Guys,

287
00:15:42,879 --> 00:15:45,440

Speaker 2: And canes?

292
00:15:57,679 --> 00:15:59,639
Speaker 7: They handled it with class. They didn't need to acknowledge

293
00:15:59,679 --> 00:16:01,879
it on about their day. They did their thing, like,

294
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,639
shout out to you. That's a first class company, Peter.

295
00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:05,799
You can go pound hand.

296
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,399
Speaker 2: So they're trying to free bird.

00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,559
know who funds this group? Who has this much free

300
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,399
time on our hand to go stand outside of buildings

301
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:24,440
and harass others?

302
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if they need much funding to do that. Yeah,

303
00:16:32,879 --> 00:16:33,519
they're losers.

304
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,639
Speaker 8: I didn't even see that story, and I gotta go

305
00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:38,080

Speaker 7: You mean to tell me none, none of them, None

308
00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:48,759
of the people out there eat chicken at all. I

309
00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:49,759
find that hard to believe.

310
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's really hard to believe. A lot of people

311
00:16:56,799 --> 00:16:57,559
in this world.

312
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 2: You see them.

313
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 7: You just got too much free time on your hands,

314
00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:01,039
nothing better.

315
00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 8: To do, all right, any more weekend winners or a loser?

Once going twice? So all right, we'll come back.

00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:42,039
Speaker 3: Here's the project size of my work wherever it might be,

00:20:09,039 --> 00:20:10,359
here we go, there, here we go.

373
00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 13: Yeah. So an evening basically spent with our community. Got

374
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,240
a lot of guests that are going to be there.

375
00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:20,839
Our newest guest this year is John Foster is going

376
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,319
to be singing us some music. Yeah, but really wanted

377
00:20:24,319 --> 00:20:26,960
to get together a bunch of people who I felt

378
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,200
would be impactful in the community to be able to

379
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,799
share their stories about mental health and their experiences with

380
00:20:32,839 --> 00:20:35,839
mental health, just to be able to normalize those conversations.

381
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: And Jordan and I know we had you on a

382
00:20:39,319 --> 00:20:41,599
year ago, kind of just remind our listeners kind of

383
00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:43,200
how you got involved with Seeds of Hope.

384
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,519
Speaker 14: Sure, so playing Seeds of Hope is Rain Will Bring

385
00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:52,000
Flowers our It's our signature event. Rain Will Bring Flowers

386
00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:56,640
is a youth suicide prevention nonprofit that was stood up

387
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,480
in response to the loss of my son Owen. We

388
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:03,480
lost going back in April twenty twenty three. And you know,

389
00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:06,480
whenever I speak, I just always share that Owen was

390
00:21:06,519 --> 00:21:09,960
wildly popular, you know, he was never bullied, he excelled

391
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,759
in athletics, he was starting on both sides of the

392
00:21:12,759 --> 00:21:15,400
ball at Saint Michael High School as a sophomore. He

393
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,400
did okay in school, and he came from a home

394
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,039
where he was loved and supported in every way, a

395
00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:25,279
home with resources, and a home grounded in faith. And

396
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,559
so I just say that so that your readers understand that,

397
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,640
you know, if a kid like Owen could fall victims

398
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,480
of suicide, then I feel like all of our youth

399
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,079
are at is at risk. And that was really the

400
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,839
genesis of the foundation and also the creation of Planning

401
00:21:40,839 --> 00:21:41,519
Seeds of Hope.

402
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,759
Speaker 9: The challenges of mental health and iOS Shelley, you deal

403
00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:51,039
with it a lot. I'm over at LSU that for

404
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,599
not just not just people and athletes in college, but

405
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,599
kids of all ages that can fall victim or suffer

406
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,960
from mental health. So it's such a great thing that

407
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,480
you're doing to start. And I want to know how

408
00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:10,640
did l s U kind of get involved with the

409
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,279
Plannet Seeds of Hopes. I see it's you, It's Joe

410
00:22:13,319 --> 00:22:16,480
Burrow Foundation, the l clubs involved with it, that's LSU Athletics.

411
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,559
Where did where was the kind of the chemistry that

412
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,000
brought everything together here.

413
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

414
00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 13: Random phone call. Yeah, I've been known to take a

415
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,319
couple of random phone calls a year. And literally I

416
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,559
think he was someone had recommended that he reach out

417
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:30,759
to me.

418
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:31,599
Speaker 2: I think he.

419
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,599
Speaker 14: And okay, all right, Dan Born.

420
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 13: There we go. Yeah. I think that you know, probably

421
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,559
had a reputation of being interested in this space obviously

422
00:22:44,599 --> 00:22:48,400
and had you know, gone back to get additional counseling degree.

423
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,119
And I'm motivated by the loss that we've had with

424
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,559
at LSU football had a couple student athletes that we

425
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,440
lost that I was working with at the time. I've

426
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,559
always kind of carried the torch for them and.

427
00:23:01,519 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 11: The work that I've done.

428
00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 13: And when I got the phone call and heard the story,

429
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,759
I you know, immediately kind of figured we needed to

430
00:23:09,799 --> 00:23:10,720
be on board this.

431
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 7: This is a kid who liked LSU.

432
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,039
Speaker 13: I mean, it really kind of came down to Jordan

433
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,160
being persistent, although I don't think even needed to be

434
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,200
that persistent. Came to the office, we talked, and his

435
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,559
son's story was exactly like the story that I've had

436
00:23:23,599 --> 00:23:26,160
in the training room ten thousand times. I mean, parents

437
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,720
don't really know what's going on. Kids don't really know

438
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,079
what's going on in their own heads. It's kind of scary.

439
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,200
And for me, it was just going to be an

440
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,839
opportunity to be able to, you know, share experiences, which

441
00:23:36,839 --> 00:23:38,279
I think is really important.

442
00:23:39,759 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: And this is an event that's going to be actually tomorrow.

443
00:23:43,559 --> 00:23:46,000
It's going to be six pm inside of the PMACS,

444
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,920
going to be hosted by Ryan Clark, Clyde Edwards. G

445
00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:50,279
Lair is going to be a part of it John

446
00:23:50,279 --> 00:23:51,759
Foster is going to be a part of it as well.

447
00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:54,559
So Shelley, how can if someone wants to attend this event,

448
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,079
is it too late? Can they go ahead? Can they

449
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,839
still get tickets? Can they still be a part of it?

450
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 13: Yeah, hindred percent. So no tickets necess So there's a

451
00:24:00,519 --> 00:24:01,920
place where you can sign up, but if you can't

452
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,960
get to your computer, it's not a problem. We would

453
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,200
encourage anyone and everyone. If you're sitting around and saying

454
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,720
that's not me, I don't really need to go to

455
00:24:08,759 --> 00:24:10,599
this thing, and you're sitting around tomorrow night, you need

456
00:24:10,599 --> 00:24:12,599
to get in your car, walk over if you're on

457
00:24:12,599 --> 00:24:16,680
the campus and come. It's free food for twenty five

458
00:24:16,759 --> 00:24:19,279
hundred people, it's free t shirts for two thousand people.

459
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 15: It's top class.

460
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 13: People that are going to be there in terms of

461
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,960
performing and hosting. It's always been a really incredible inspirational event.

462
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:32,000
I've really had never never heard anyone leave say gee,

463
00:24:32,519 --> 00:24:34,240
that was a really downer I was a Debbie downer

464
00:24:34,279 --> 00:24:36,200
kind of place. And this is an inspirational night and

465
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,880
it really will allow conversations to happen within families and teams.

466
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,759
Speaker 9: And if I'm assuming that if you can't make it,

467
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,039
I'm assuming there's.

468
00:24:44,839 --> 00:24:47,319
Speaker 2: A place that they can go to kind of get involved.

469
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,319
Speaker 14: Absolutely absolutely, if you're unable to make it, which I

470
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,640
strongly encourage that you do, you can always go to

471
00:24:55,079 --> 00:24:57,839
rain Will Bring Flowers dot org to stay in touch

472
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,880
with our mission and the impact that we're having in

473
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:00,559
the community.

474
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 3: Jordan, what does it mean for you to see like

475
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,359
Shelley and LSU kind of you know, get behind all

476
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,599
of this and now you're gonna have an event inside

477
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,880
the PMAC to bring awareness with somebody hosting it like

478
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,799
a Ryan Clark who's on the national scene, Clyde Edwards Deeler,

479
00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:17,680
who's you know, Clyde very publicly has been through you know,

480
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,759
his own struggles obviously, and to have them there supporting

481
00:25:20,759 --> 00:25:21,200
this event.

482
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 14: It's it's amazing. I mean, it really is amazing, and

483
00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:27,319
it truly takes a village. And you know, I always

484
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,480
speak with my wife Lisa about, you know, where we

485
00:25:31,519 --> 00:25:35,319
would be, uh or where we wouldn't be without LSU

486
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,599
Athletics and and Shelley. You know, Shelley has the connections

487
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:45,200
with these high profile athletes that make this event a possibility.

488
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,200
And you know, having Jon Foster here to to to

489
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,799
sing a couple of songs and do the national anthem.

490
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,599
Things are just coming together through a lot of hard

491
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,920
work and relationships with with Elsh Athletics.

492
00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:03,279
Speaker 3: And you know, Matt and I both obviously, like I said,

493
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,519
Shelley's certainly been a big part of our lives and

494
00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:09,319
certainly once we got to l s U because and

495
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,839
I think, Matt go back me up on this.

496
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:11,559
Speaker 2: When you when you.

497
00:26:11,559 --> 00:26:13,519
Speaker 3: Get to campus, you think you got to figure it

498
00:26:13,519 --> 00:26:17,160
out and then you realize, oh, I left home by myself.

503
00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:31,319
real world hits you real Yes, big parts of our transition,

504
00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:33,480

00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,920
oh man, can I do this?

506
00:26:35,079 --> 00:26:38,319

567
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:40,920
don't know if it's gonna be.

568
00:29:41,119 --> 00:29:44,599
Speaker 8: I did twice. Hey, you could have been to the

569
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,200
super Bowl. You didn't want to go, just said.

570
00:29:47,039 --> 00:29:48,799
Speaker 2: Super Bowl it's not accurate.

571
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 3: A little bit though, a little bit, a little bit

572
00:29:51,839 --> 00:29:55,599
in the morning exactly, a little bit sort of don't

573
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:56,960
I don't know where he's coming.

574
00:29:56,839 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: Up with us.

575
00:29:57,279 --> 00:29:59,319
Speaker 10: I think there's like a middle ground here that we

576
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,000
can buy. I think it's like the schedule. But also

577
00:30:02,039 --> 00:30:03,319
you didn't want to go.

578
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: So that's true.

579
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,839
Speaker 8: I love God, loves California.

580
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,559
Speaker 11: You could have really made the schedule work.

581
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,359
Speaker 2: Loves California.

582
00:30:11,319 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 3: Anyways, Will Helmer's our guests here in studio Louisiana. Load

583
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,319
have got some big things going on as always, course

584
00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:21,119
form elsity baseball player, so here to talk some baseball

585
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,599
as well. But I saw my man boots on the

586
00:30:23,599 --> 00:30:26,720
ground at Marti Gral. Oh buddy, how'd that go? Fantastic?

587
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:27,720
Couldn't have been better.

588
00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 15: I love me some Marti Gral from New Orleans.

589
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, so obviously hit New Orleans and then we went

590
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,599
down to Thibodeau. Oh man, I've never been to Thibodeaux

591
00:30:35,599 --> 00:30:38,920
from Sunday and Thibodeau is just a little different. I'm

592
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,079
telling you what, Urt is good. I'm telling you what

593
00:30:41,559 --> 00:30:43,119
everybody walks down. Have you done that before?

594
00:30:43,119 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 8: Is that your first?

595
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 5: That's my first time first Thibodeaum, Marti Gral and then

596
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,640
I hit you know, did some culture stuff, Church Point, Unice,

597
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:53,240
my MoU Yeah, all that, you know, section of the Louisiana.

598
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 15: So it's cool to see all the different cultures.

599
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,079
Speaker 2: So what stuck out is that you have a highlight.

600
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,559
Speaker 15: From oh, Thibodeau Sunday, and.

601
00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:01,599
Speaker 2: So what makes it? What makes it? So you were

602
00:31:01,599 --> 00:31:03,240
in New Orleans where it was the heart of everything,

603
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:04,759
but then you go what you've been to I'm sure

604
00:31:04,759 --> 00:31:05,359
a hundred.

605
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 15: Times been to New Orleans, Marty Gral, my whole life.

606
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 5: So you know, you do Friday, you have like Hermes

607
00:31:09,519 --> 00:31:12,680
Crew Day Ta and then Saturdays and Demmian and so

608
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,119
I hadn't been to Thibodeaux. It's just a little different,

609
00:31:16,559 --> 00:31:18,799
you know. It just feels different than you got two

610
00:31:18,839 --> 00:31:21,359
day parades back to back. And then it seems like

611
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,119
the entire town of Thibodeau walks downtown and hits the

612
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,720
three Bars, Pepper's Pizza, all of them. And so it's

613
00:31:29,759 --> 00:31:32,319
cool to see. And so I had a great time. Obviously,

614
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,839
had some drinks, had some yellow shots, yeah.

615
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 3: Which I mean if anybody is a yell at you

616
00:31:38,519 --> 00:31:42,240
after the World Series, can you imagine being younger, would

617
00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:44,480
you say three days of Marti Gras in a row?

618
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 5: Four days and Friday, Saturday, Sunday break Tuesday.

619
00:31:50,759 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: If I get four hours in.

620
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 8: If I'm not mistaken, well you ran into Lane Kiffin.

621
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:58,319
Speaker 2: I did.

622
00:31:59,359 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 8: There's pretty offer my guy, though, so I could have.

623
00:32:03,839 --> 00:32:06,799
Speaker 15: Hopped on the float. Last second decision decided not to.

624
00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:10,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's little floats rolling away and he's like, yeah, yeah,

625
00:32:11,119 --> 00:32:13,279
it didn't work out, but awesome guy.

626
00:32:13,359 --> 00:32:13,559
Speaker 15: Man.

627
00:32:13,759 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 5: He feels like he's really embracing the culture, which is

628
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,240
cool to see. But you have like you have to.

629
00:32:18,519 --> 00:32:20,839
Speaker 15: Yeah, if you're gonna wait in here as we've seen, yeah,

630
00:32:20,839 --> 00:32:21,480
people haven't.

631
00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:22,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.

632
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,119
Speaker 15: You know you gotta embrace it.

633
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,039
Speaker 9: No better way than from a top of a float.

634
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,599
Yeah right, it's pretty embracement.

635
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 2: I think. I'm no, I'm right there with you. Absolutely.

636
00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 8: Uh So what else y'all got going on? Louisiana load?

637
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,039
I mean, I mean, mudy girl.

638
00:32:34,039 --> 00:32:36,599
Speaker 3: Obviously a big portion of it, just because I mean,

639
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,200
the entire state does it. But like you said, the

640
00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:40,200
entire state does it a little bit differently. I mean

641
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,519
everybody North South, everybody does it. So I'm sure that

642
00:32:42,599 --> 00:32:44,319
was a lot of fun. What else you got coming

643
00:32:44,359 --> 00:32:45,000

00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,359
Speaker 5: Is just the first couple of weeks, so uh I

663
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,960
was exciting looking looking to keep going with it.

664
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 9: So give me a highlight of like the Louisiana Loaded,

665
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,519
Like what's You've been done a lot of stuff in

666
00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:46,559
Louisiana this past year, so like give it's like a

667
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,759
top three things that you've actually got to experience through

668
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,119
through the show and that you haven't done before.

669
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,359
Speaker 15: Man, that's tough. Wasn't wasn't prepared for that.

670
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 8: Marty Girl was obviously, He's never prepared.

671
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:05,079
Speaker 5: Just kind of how it rolls, obviously, like Marty gral

672
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,559
like Church Point, Marty Gral I had never done that.

673
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,159
And to see the different culture of up Louisiana through

674
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:11,719
that was awesome.

675
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:12,679
Speaker 2: Omaha.

676
00:34:13,119 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, being able to you know, that was when we

677
00:34:15,039 --> 00:34:17,719
first started Louisiana Load was was Omaha. I was up

678
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,039
in Omaha for two weeks straight, you know, buying Jella shots,

679
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,599
doing all that and then just you know, seeing all

680
00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:26,039
the different This is a broad answer, but I've been

681
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,920
all over the state truth board, you know, Lake Charles,

682
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,480
New Orleans, Covington, wherever you can kind of think of

683
00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:35,800
seeing all the different cultures, like not even just through culture,

684
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,159
but like through food, through bars, through drinking. It's different

685
00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:41,400
in every area. And so to be able to kind

686
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,440
of experience that on a different level than before as

687
00:34:44,559 --> 00:34:46,159
is pretty cool, really is pretty cool.

688
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 3: Catching up with Will Helmer's here in the Raising Kines studio,

689
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,400
he mentioned baseball season a big part of Louisiana loaded

690
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,960
there and baseball is off to a pretty good start there.

691
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:56,119
Speaker 15: Eight.

692
00:34:56,119 --> 00:34:58,519
Speaker 3: To note on the season we were talking before you

693
00:34:58,599 --> 00:35:00,559
jumped on, if you were one of the lucky ones

694
00:35:00,559 --> 00:35:03,280
that didn't have a stream that crashed over the weekend,

695
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,559
you could have watched some really good baseball there as well.

696
00:35:05,639 --> 00:35:07,320
I don't think that anybody was lucky, because I think

697
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,639
it crashed for everyone but LSU eight. No, and I

698
00:35:10,639 --> 00:35:12,639
mean Will obviously, like you've been a part championship teams,

699
00:35:12,679 --> 00:35:14,960
you know how hard it is to run it back,

700
00:35:15,039 --> 00:35:18,480
to bring back a squad this championship caliber. But this team,

701
00:35:18,599 --> 00:35:21,760
after winning it last year, losing so many key pieces,

702
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,920
they look like right now and look there's still a

703
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,719
long way to go, but they look like they're building

704
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,760
that foundation to be able to compete for a championship.

705
00:35:29,039 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 5: I mean it's it's impressive on kind of every facet

706
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,880
right now, from the mound offensively, like they have every

707
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,159
piece of the puzzle to go do it again. Yeah,

708
00:35:38,199 --> 00:35:39,760
you know, with baseball, it's kind of a lot of

709
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,960
it's when you get hot. Yeah, You've seen that over

710
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,159
the years with like Ole Miss and twenty twenty two, Like, yeah,

711
00:35:44,199 --> 00:35:45,679
you just get hot at the right time, right, and

712
00:35:45,679 --> 00:35:48,480
that's part of it. And they're obviously hot right now,

713
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,320
and it's the biggest thing. And I you know, we've

714
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,239
I've learned over the years of playing and even watching

715
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,719
for the past couple of years now, is it's still early.

716
00:35:57,039 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, it's super early.

717
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,559
Speaker 5: And they they've played some inferior opponents, you know for

718
00:36:01,599 --> 00:36:04,639
the most part, and but they showed out on every

719
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,679
level that they can do it in the sec too.

720
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,039
Speaker 15: Yeah, the bats are there.

721
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,639
Speaker 5: There's not a single person in that lineup that has

722
00:36:10,679 --> 00:36:13,199
played so far that can't hurt you. You know, there's

723
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,159
you know, whether it's Dardar or Carraway. And then you

724
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:20,000
have you know, Curry Ol Brown, You're right at the top,

725
00:36:20,039 --> 00:36:22,440
which is like scary. So they have a lot of

726
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,039
guys who can hurt you offensively, which is always something

727
00:36:25,039 --> 00:36:27,800
that you know, Jay's had in his lineups, whether it's

728
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,119
the long ball or he's gonna come score like do

729
00:36:30,199 --> 00:36:32,559
a double squeeze, you know, bunt and score two runners.

730
00:36:33,079 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 15: You know, just crazy stuff like that.

731
00:36:34,519 --> 00:36:36,679
Speaker 5: So he's always going to score runs, always going to

732
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,239
be good offensively, but from the mound portion of it,

733
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,599
like two, Kochieski has done a great job of developing

734
00:36:44,639 --> 00:36:47,760
guys like I think we've seen you know Schmid on Sunday,

735
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,320
was that's his best performance at LSU.

736
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,079
Speaker 8: I was going to ask you about him.

737
00:36:52,119 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 3: Okay, So a young guy whose expectations through the roof

738
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:56,840
was supposed to go to the draft. He wanted to

739
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,760
play for LSU, and so like a media people are like, oh, well,

740
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,519
you got be awesome from day one. And look in sports,

741
00:37:02,559 --> 00:37:05,239
it's tough, Like a lot of freshmen play in baseball.

742
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 8: I get that, but it's still going to be incredibly tough.

743
00:37:07,519 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 3: So from him, like you saw him last year and

744
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,360
you see the flashes, but you know it wasn't consistent

745
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,599
enough to be a weekend guy. Like what is that

746
00:37:14,639 --> 00:37:17,840
transition like in baseball from freshman year expectations to a

747
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,039
sophomore year. He could probably take like at least a

748
00:37:20,079 --> 00:37:22,519
deep breath, and now we're starting to see all the

749
00:37:22,559 --> 00:37:23,679
things that we thought he would be.

750
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, and Schmid Williams got all the talent in the world.

751
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,599
There was never a doubt about that when he you know,

752
00:37:29,679 --> 00:37:32,599
came from Catholic Like, he's got all the stuff, like

753
00:37:32,639 --> 00:37:35,559
he's a big league pitcher. Stuff wise, it's always a

754
00:37:35,559 --> 00:37:37,519
matter of if you can figure it out. And LSU

755
00:37:38,199 --> 00:37:40,320
is not an easy place to figure it out, true,

756
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,199
you know, as a freshman, like coming into that environment

757
00:37:43,199 --> 00:37:46,039
and Alex box with you know, ten thousand strong or

758
00:37:46,119 --> 00:37:48,599
more is a tough place to learn how to be

759
00:37:48,639 --> 00:37:51,519
a college pitcher. Yeah, and so to take that stride

760
00:37:51,559 --> 00:37:54,159
from you know, being a freshman, you know, and he struggle.

761
00:37:54,199 --> 00:37:55,880
He struggled a lot as a freshman. You know, he

762
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,920
couldn't get the ball over the plate as much. And

763
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,639
and so we're kind of starting to see him maybe

764
00:37:59,679 --> 00:38:02,719
take the mold into that sophomore year of kind of like,

765
00:38:03,079 --> 00:38:05,920
well maybe he the stuff still there, the same stuff,

766
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,280
but maybe it from a mental side of it, maybe

767
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,800
he can take that next step and really, you know,

768
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,519
improve it and be a Saturday Sunday Sunday guy who

769
00:38:14,599 --> 00:38:17,280
knows And at the end of the season, like, you know,

770
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,400
one of the best parts that I've seen from this

771
00:38:19,519 --> 00:38:22,039
team so far, as they got three guys over the

772
00:38:22,039 --> 00:38:25,280
weekend who went five plus innings Yeah, that's rare, you know,

773
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,400
to throw just two guys on a Sunday. Yeah, is

774
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,480
pretty cool, you know, and it's awesome, you know, to

775
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:32,280
see that for sure.

776
00:38:32,599 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 9: Tell me from a from a player perspective, what is

777
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,920
February baseball like?

778
00:38:37,199 --> 00:38:37,679
Speaker 2: Mentally?

779
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 9: Just because you know, you know the coaches are constantly evaluating.

780
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,559
You know that you're not an sec play You know

781
00:38:43,599 --> 00:38:45,880
that you're not you know, this is not win or

782
00:38:46,039 --> 00:38:49,440
win or go home whatever it is. You got to

783
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,559
get hot at the right times, just like you said.

784
00:38:52,039 --> 00:38:55,119
But as a player, you know you're constantly being evaluated.

785
00:38:55,159 --> 00:38:57,880
You know that the lineup's not you know, it's it's

786
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,199
not written in stone. You know that the pitching rotation

787
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:02,199
is not written in stone.

788
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: Like.

789
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,119
Speaker 9: So mentally, how do you approach practice in each game

790
00:39:06,119 --> 00:39:07,599
as a player in February?

791
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, so as an LSU player, I can't speak for

792
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:16,920
other programs and about as a player of Jay Johnson,

793
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,679
it's no different than it is in Omaha.

794
00:39:20,039 --> 00:39:21,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know right now, which is cool.

795
00:39:21,519 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 5: And you know one of Jay's things is it's a

796
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,440
fifty six game playoff, so every game matters, every game

797
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:28,239
is a playoff.

798
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,599
Speaker 3: Which actually I love that about Jay because well, you know,

799
00:39:31,679 --> 00:39:33,840
I mean so many people are like, oh, midweek games,

800
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,119
it don't really matter. In like past coaches like we're

801
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:38,880
trying stuff here and there. I'm like, no, the hell

802
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,239
would we put on a uniform if we put out

803
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,079
a lineup card, like, let's go win.

804
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,079
Speaker 15: The game exactly.

805
00:39:44,639 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 5: It all doesn't matter until you get no hit by

806
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,599
Nichols on a Tuesday, Yes happens, Yeah, and you lose

807
00:39:49,639 --> 00:39:51,920
the Southern yeah or whatever as an LSU team, and

808
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,599
then it's like what are y'all doing?

809
00:39:53,639 --> 00:39:55,679
Speaker 15: Man? Right, and everybody hates you, you know.

810
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 5: So, so having that mentality of you know, in training

811
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,360
and practice in the m of like everything is a

812
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,000
playoff game. Every game is a playoff game, even whether

813
00:40:05,039 --> 00:40:08,360
it's February or or June, you know. And so being

814
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,199
a player of Jay Johnson, if you're gonna play, that's

815
00:40:11,199 --> 00:40:14,440
gonna be your mentality. And so you know, he's got

816
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,320
a squad right now that you can kind of tell, uh,

817
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,599
they believe in each other a little bit, and they

818
00:40:19,679 --> 00:40:23,119
kind of got some good chemistry right now, and it's

819
00:40:23,159 --> 00:40:25,280
almost easy for them. Yeah, it looks like they're just

820
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,159
having fun. You know, it's just kids playing playing playing

821
00:40:28,159 --> 00:40:31,079
in the sand, you know, And so that's really cool

822
00:40:31,119 --> 00:40:34,000
to see and for us, like we have a for Gordon,

823
00:40:34,039 --> 00:40:36,280
we have you know, we've got eleven and il guys

824
00:40:37,079 --> 00:40:39,039
for baseball. And we took him to dinner a few

825
00:40:39,039 --> 00:40:42,599
weeks ago and just at the dinner table too, like

826
00:40:42,639 --> 00:40:43,679
these guys are just different.

827
00:40:43,679 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 2: They get along.

828
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 5: They're just you know, cracking jokes, you know whatever. And

829
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,119
so to see that is really you know, special, you know,

830
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,679
and it's the makings of a good team.

831
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,199
Speaker 2: Is Jay A yeah, he seems pretty intense. Is he

832
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:56,719
a yeller?

833
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 9: Is that how he expresses his intensity or is it

834
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,320
just like when he speaks, everyone shuts up and for

835
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,679
the moment he yells.

836
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 8: You whisper a sweet.

837
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 9: You know, there's coach We've had coaches that, like say,

838
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,119
was a yeller, right, That's how he got his point across.

839
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 2: Was yelling? He did, but he didn't have to well.

840
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 8: You know, I mean, Jay takes a lot of his

841
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,159
coaching from saving right.

842
00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 9: But there's also coaches that were very intense, like in

843
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,800
you just didn't mess around with him, but they didn't

844
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,480
have to yell to get that point across.

845
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 15: Jay's got both. So he takes Skip versus yea Skip.

846
00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 5: I'm sure you've heard some stories of like, you know,

847
00:41:32,519 --> 00:41:35,000
you go out to the mound and Skip goes it's

848
00:41:35,679 --> 00:41:39,960
it's you know, it's it's not your fault, it's mine you.

849
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,760
So you know, there's some of that in Jay and

850
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:48,000
there's also some yellow. So it's fun either way. He's

851
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,880
he can do both. I've heard him get on some people.

852
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,159
I've got some great stories that you know, we probably

853
00:41:53,159 --> 00:41:56,239
can't say on air, But he does both.

854
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,159
Speaker 15: You know, that's what a good coach.

855
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 8: He knows how to get best player in college baseball.

856
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 15: Yeah, exactly.

857
00:42:02,599 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 8: I don't know which one would be worse.

858
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,119
Speaker 3: Skipt telling you it's my fault for recruiting you are

859
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,239
Jimbo saying I wish your parents never met.

860
00:42:09,519 --> 00:42:14,199
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean both of them good.

861
00:42:15,119 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah tough.

862
00:42:17,119 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 9: I think I actually kind of like the the underhanded like, oh,

863
00:42:21,559 --> 00:42:24,880
it's my my fault for recruiting you, evaluating that.

864
00:42:25,159 --> 00:42:27,119
Speaker 2: I think he told that to Ronnie rant. I think

865
00:42:27,159 --> 00:42:30,880

can make it, do it or go Rainbow Bringflowers dot org.

920
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:20,559
Just look at the organization tackling mental health and children,

921
00:45:20,679 --> 00:45:25,360
which is which is wild and it's crazy just you know,

922
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,639
you know, parent myself to think about that. You just

923
00:45:29,679 --> 00:45:33,679
never really know what's affected somebody. So you got great

924
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,840
organizations like that working with l s U and Mama

925
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,519
Shelley and if you can make it awesome. But I

926
00:45:40,559 --> 00:45:43,000
think at some point everybody's kind of affected in some

927
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,320
some form or fashion by by mental health issues. Whether

928
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,679
it's you, your yourself, you're a family member, loved on,

929
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,920
a friend, whatever it does. You just never really know

930
00:45:51,039 --> 00:45:55,000
and when it when something like that hits children and

931
00:45:55,079 --> 00:45:57,880
you hear stories about children with mental health, and there's

932
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,800
so much out there with social media and all the

933
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,360
thing and the pressures put on from societal pressures.

934
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,920
