And we are back three two one I'm good. I'm good.
I'm happy to be on the sports podcast for once.
Yeah, you know something different for you a
little bit I'm not on the podcast too much. I
haven't been on the main mic and I guess technically
I was in the the yoga video we just put out but
Like as a person on the couch haven't done this
in a hot minute Yeah, there's a guy that's always
behind the audio and all that so praise him for
that stuff But we're getting to the main nitty
gritty stuff, which is always Johnson County
sports, which is the women's side Obviously lost
I'm set of course, but that's not something to
take away from them for what it was a 34 to zero
season Yeah, no, they still did incredible crazy
They lost to I don't know how you pronounce their
community cause I think it's Pima I don't know
something like that, but they lost 68 to 67.
So it's only a one -point game They led late
in the game under three minutes. They were actually
up 67 to 62 they were so it looked like Johnson
County could pull away But then they just went
on a six. Oh run and then we just struggled to
shoot a little It just kind of got bad at the
end. We did get a Shot at the end to win the
game, but then we missed it and we got the offensive
rebound, but then they got blocked Crazy game
It was a very good game to watch It was just
turnovers sloppy turnovers just some bad things
But again overall in general it's been a crazy
season for both the men and the women's Nothing
to take away from that. Yeah, regardless. They
did incredible exactly How have you felt looking
at? You know those men and women side of the
yeah, um, so Obviously, I'm not a super big sports
person But, you know, I do occasionally follow
along with things. So especially, you know, the
teams being from the school I'm going to, you
know, I knew a little bit more about, you know,
both the men's and women's teams. So it was incredible
to hear that they were doing so well. You know,
they made it incredibly far, both of them. So,
you know, I'm proud to be a part of the school
that has such good teams, regardless if we won
or not, because we did incredible. There's nothing
like I always have some stats to give out to
everyone. And here's my part here is that the
other side, Melissa Nelson, which this is a crazy
stat line that I've never seen out of any like
women's player yet, even in WNBA, like she had
22 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists and six
steals. I'm saying six turnovers from Johnson
County or from one person on the other team.
That's pretty impressive. So shout out to them,
but they didn't go 34 and one. Yeah, so big W's
for us But yeah, just in general the offensive
flow kind of just struggled and we had 20 turnovers
Which led to their comeback? But this isn't really
gonna be the most positive episode. So if you're
You get depressed and sad very easily This is
just gonna make it worse when we go over the
KU side of things It was a rarely really crazy
game to watch at first I was just like I might
turn this game off at this point because we were
down at one pointed by 14 and it was in the second
half and I was kind of just like Might be over
but then they went on a 12 to 3 run and then
they tied the game Then I was like, okay, we
got a ballgame with ours with us Yeah, and then
area Peterson at the line. This is what we've
been waiting for Ties the game up and then we
do that foul game thing where we just found to
not let he just drain the clock My opinion. I
don't think they should have done that in the
first place. Did you watch the game? I caught
glimpses of it at work. Yeah, okay. Yeah Yeah,
so I didn't really think that was the best strategy
to just drain the clock It wasn't the worst idea,
but I think you're just giving them so much more
time to even think about the play And then the
help defense nothing was really there and then
a game winner So I guess Kansas right now is
kind of just probably feeling a bit down in general
Especially when you go here right now, you're
not yeah the Kansas City area just kind of in
general. Yeah catching some strays We're not
we're not in the greatest mind here If we want
to throw some stats out here, they only lost
by two again. So this is this game I also just
look at it in a similar way to how the Johnson
County game ended. Mm -hmm It was a great game
and then they fell behind and then I got close
out of nowhere and I got the end turnovers missed
shots and we lost um but of course we always
talk about darian peterson he had 21 points um
he was the leading scorer too but i was very
disappointed by everybody else because me watching
the cave nobody else really did anything it was
kind of more just so of hero ball was which was
darian peterson the whole time and Even st. John's
they were horrible they shot worse from they
shot worse from the field than we did So you
would probably think if the other team shoots
worse, then we'd probably win But it was more
so they shot worse, but they hit six more threes
than us Which that's the part that plays into
it the most It's 16 turnovers. There's some sloppy
basketball. So Bill self is also considering
his future Which again I said I'm gonna bring
up a lot of negative points throughout this whole
podcast I don't think he wants to leave he just
wants to be in the right place Physically because
I know he's had some issues with his body in
the past few years So he doesn't know about his
future at the moment is what he said. I'm pretty
sure so I think we're just left in a lot of What's
gonna happen or what's the future looking like
of KU right now? Yeah You know again, I don't
follow especially basketball basketball is probably
my least followed sport Yeah, even though I played
it in middle school We were undefeated. So I
don't remember what position I played or anything.
It was such a long time ago at this point, but
Yeah, I just I don't follow basketball too much
but I mean, I know Kay was pretty good, but you
know, it just sucks with the with the circumstances
that happened Yeah, now Mary Peterson is not
gonna be on this team anymore gone for the the
league. Yeah, but um You're happy to have someone
like that and I know there's a lot of negativity
on him about missing games and such and such
but I mean still has a stats like he's a good
player stats wise So like if the other players
had stepped up, we would have won the game It's
just He was trying to do it all and there's no
videos for him If you guys really know basketball,
then I'll say he was playing like 2018 LeBron
James there for anybody that has ball knowledge
Know that But just in March Madness in general,
I know this part I don't know if like have you
ever have you been keeping up with the bracket?
A little bit like we we've had it on at work.
Yeah, my boss is big into it. So yeah, he's been
like watching it So yeah, there's always like
Cinderella stories. There's always crazy upsets
pressure And it's not like this year's changed
at all Like Florida has gone down and they were
what the the champs the reigning champs and now
Texas is on like kind of a Cinderella story to
by beating BYU who they have like The first or
second projected player in the NBA draft with
AJ to Bonsa and they also begin Zaga Texas right
now is kind of on that Cinderella type of story
where they beat some of the top teams But the
biggest upset was I literally think on day one
where high point which I had never even heard
of beat, Wisconsin and I think everyone kind
of just went crazy because you're expecting upsets,
of course because it's March Madness But you
don't sometimes really expect it like on one
of the first few games You just expect you know
the higher seats to Wayne go do their thing But
then the later games like at night, I don't know
why but late night games always just go more
crazier in my opinion I don't I think it's I
don't I can agree to that. It's always the late
games that always have something crazy. It's
not there It's never like the morning game. Yeah,
it's really never is. Um, of course a lot of
the top dogs are out early Like I know a lot
of the blue color team. I don't know. This is
a weird fun fact, but like K use out Kentucky's
out You and sees out a lot of the blue blue color
teams. Maybe don't want to be blue. I guess nada
It's not a blue March But yeah, we're always
expecting this I don't you never know who's gonna
win Anything can happen at any moment, but that's
why it's more to madness. Um but really what
I'm trying to get after here is that I Don't
I always debate on whether I love You know March
Madness more like is March Madness the peak of
sports? It kind of feels like it sometimes yeah
sometime. I mean has a huge following oh yeah
but like also NFL season Super Bowl is also huge
World Series for baseball you know every every
sport has their own like I think this time. This
is the time of like The year or there's a lot
of sports they get a lot of like especially basketball
because you have more there's so many teams Just
with yeah, just with the NBA like their playoffs
are about to start like a month Yeah, and then
I know baseball I started yeah Yeah, I think
it's I think we've started now. Yeah, so this
is where you kind of just sound like peak Yeah,
what I guess I mean it's almost summer it can
make sense so a lot it's weather is warming up
finally which is weird that Football is like
the one that plays in the cold. Yeah, I don't
I am but it makes up for some crazy funny game
Yeah, when they slip. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah It would
be nice if they play but it would also be bad
on them if they played on 98 degree weather Yeah,
it's probably because of all the the armor they
put on yeah. Oh, yeah I'm sure it gets hot in
those but like even still playing in freezing
weather. It must suck Yeah, I always I know my
parents always question that but I don't know
why I always thought since you're running around
You're probably sweating a lot. I mean, yeah
cold probably feels a little nice, but not but
if it's yeah But if it's still freezing out,
it's still gonna be freezing out regardless if
you're sweating or not Definitely. So I know
you said you're more of a football person. Yeah
NFL I don't really follow college too much There's
just so many more teams that like there's already
enough in the NFL where I'm like, okay I can
follow all of these along Semi well college just
throws it into the back and I'm like, I don't
know what team is what We've signed Kelsey on
a one -year deal. Mm -hmm. But now there's a
new deal that we got him on which is a three
-year deal Which I don't I have no I'm saying
I don't think he's gonna stay for the whole three
years. I definitely think he'll retire. Yeah,
I mean Yeah, it depends. I How old does he compared
to my homes? I forget how close are they in age?
Yeah, I know my homes is yeah, my homes is younger.
Yeah Think it's just cuz he wants to stay with
my homes as long as he can because they do make
a good duo They do I think it's more so I still
do think for some reason that this is last year.
It's just Which is fair it pretty badly Chiefs
I I need them to make a comeback I need I need
prime chiefs back because we were doing so good
for so many years even if we lost a couple I
mean we lost what in the playoffs and Super Bowl
like once or twice which happens, you know As
much as good as they were I'm not expecting to
win every year five years in a row But we had
what three or two in a row Which we were one
of the only other teams to do that. Yeah Which
was phenomenal And then they just ended off in
such a bad season so many bad things just happened
a lot of injuries It was terrible, but I I need
them to make a comeback gonna be awesome Yeah,
cuz I mean when you say you've lost a Tom Brady
Nobody's like that's Tom Brady. Yeah, you can't
really compete with that. That was young Mahomes.
I'm pretty sure too. Yeah His first year, I think,
with the Chiefs. It was first or second, I think.
It was relatively early on in his Chiefs' career
that we lost to him because, like, duh. Yeah,
I mean, that's still my go for right now. But
Mahomes can do it. I believe in him. I mean,
yeah, he's still young and he's still projected
to... Be as good as Tom Brady. Yeah. So I will
see. I have a lot of hope. I just hope I'm not
too confident in the Chiefs. I like to not get
too overconfident because I've done that with
a lot of things now in life. That's how I was
with the Bears, because I'm also from Chicago.
So I'm a big Bears and Cubs fan. When the Chiefs
got knocked down like okay fine I saw the Bears
and then they kept going pretty far and Caleb
Williams is he's he's good at what he does but
like I Mean the game we lost happens We're used
to losing yeah, but like even if you're down
21 to 0 in the third quarter you're not turning
off Oh, dude literally we were so close to turning
off. I'm like Hold on. Caleb Williams will pull
it through. And then he did against the Packers
that one game. Oh my god. Just never turn it
off. Literally. He's got the coaching already
in a young age. Yeah, no, he's really good. They
are definitely a second half team. Yeah. I wish
they weren't because the suspense is crazy and
kills me, but they've made some crazy comebacks.
Yeah. Yeah, I don't get it. It's so weird for
a coach. I'm sure the coach wants them to perform
how they perform the second half to do it exactly
Yeah, so that that's always confuses me about
all a lot of these teams when they're second
half teams I don't know. Maybe it's just like
the direct motivation. Yeah, I don't know what
that is though I don't know why you need that
cuz isn't that isn't the beginning of the game
that great amazing like speech all the hard coach
this brutal I guess Maybe it's the pressure.
I don't know. Yeah It's just straight direct
to the heart. Yeah cussing in your face probably
something like that. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, well
like How have you well, how was your spring break
actually cuz I know this is yeah, we can take
rest breaks. Um, I Really just worked. That's
all I did. I I don't even know how many hours
I worked I picked up so many shifts. Yeah stayed
for way longer than I needed to But you know
it's a job that I like so I'm not really complaining
Yeah, and plus I could use the money, so I can't
really complain. I was yours. It was good I got
hit with food poisoning. I'd say like the first
day, but then it kind of got away way faster
than yeah the usual but Think a lot of allergies
are going around everywhere because it's springtime
now Yeah, my allergies have been crazy. Yeah,
I've heard a lot of sneezing around the whole
college apparently been bad But yeah, I don't
know I mean I'm just excited for Again, big football
fan out of all the sports really so I mean I'm
just excited for football to come back I know
last week before not last week, but the week
before spring break you guys had talked about
the Not the draft because the draft hasn't started
yet, but the other thing with people so Pacheco
leaving and so mad at that still I'm a big Pacheco
fan, but I mean you can't really complain with
the replacement that we got cuz like You know
MVP, but like Pacheco. He's my guy. Yeah, but
they've done a lot of signings They've let a
lot of people go. I think they really focused
on Offense and free agency free. Yeah, that's
what it free agency. Yeah, and I'm hoping that
in the draft you focus on defense Yeah, I mean
as good as our offense can be with my homes and
even Kelsey when he you know pulls up Our defense
man our defense has been struggling it was Decent
last year which was kind of surprising But it's
just it's been it's been a constant struggle
for the last few years in my opinion Yeah, I
think it's the corners Yeah, our front line is
fine. I mean you got Chris Jones like yeah, it
is it is just a lot of teams are able to Pick
up what we do because we usually do the same
kind of defense positions a lot of the time So
most of them just catch on to that Like of the
effort that needs to be put in yeah, it feels
like a lot of them. Just don't care Yeah, I just
always remember that Jaguars game Christians
just let them walk Yeah, makes me mad there was
a flag Flag warrior that we had yeah, yeah You
guys don't know about the flag warriors on the
chiefs. I think they're actually called flag.
They're like flag runners I think yeah, he was
just calling himself a flag warrior, which is
cool But I think they're official titles like
flag runner. Okay. Yeah, if you guys actually
haven't watched that one It was actually some
cool. Yeah a lot of cool information about the
chiefs how they do kind of their hiring just
in general What it's like working with the team
we talked about the parade? Which you know Unfortunate
events, but it was cool and interesting to hear
a first -person experience with that I think
so yeah Because he had some he had a different
view of how they were yeah of how they were like
Taking shelter yeah, definitely check out that
episode I wasn't like I didn't know what to expect
like I don't know what questions to ask like
I just thought oh What you just run with a flag?
Yeah Technically yeah, but like also like no
You have to run alongside Tyree kill Yeah, yeah,
cuz he was he's been doing this for six years
now He's been doing it for quite a while so it
was it was more so cool that he said you have
to try out every every year Yeah, cuz they they
switch up people if they're not able to keep
up which makes sense because you do need to have
a lot of physicality to Do that job? Yeah, so
we're leaking too much information. Just go watch
it can do it. We can't do it Just watch the episode.
Just go ahead. Um, but link it. Yeah, right But
yeah, there's nothing more for me to mention
about. Yeah. Anything else you want to add on?

Break, that's for sure. New episodes will be
