And some smiles. Guys, I was 00:00:30.829 --> 00:00:32.270 stuck in a car wash. Sounds like an R. Kelly 00:00:32.270 --> 00:00:37.130 song. It's not an R. Kelly song.

Justin Grossweiner. It's like the saying 00:00:47.409 --> 00:00:49.750 in Alaska, that you don't have to be faster than 00:00:49.750 --> 00:00:50.909 the bear.

It was 00:02:50.050 --> 00:02:54.770 like two point seven six inches in a 24 -hour 00:02:54.770 --> 00:02:57.389 period And this morning when I look out like 00:02:57.389 --> 00:03:00.189 that much, but it is that's a lot of rain.

Thank you Thanks for 00:05:46.029 --> 00:05:48.910 thanks for rescuing me in that that it and it 00:05:48.910 --> 00:05:50.550 works me off So I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about 00:05:50.550 --> 00:05:52.850 it. I know you have opinions on it I do always 00:05:52.850 --> 00:05:55.430 so let's update you real quick since we're gonna 00:05:55.430 --> 00:05:58.170 have Angie on in just a few moments We'll talk 00:05:58.170 --> 00:06:02.069 oregon basketball as well oregon state basketball 00:06:02.069 --> 00:06:04.529 men's and women's oregon state women's softball 00:06:04.529 --> 00:06:06.110 We'll run through that real quick, but let's 00:06:06.110 --> 00:06:07.930 start with oregon women's golf. They finished 00:06:07.930 --> 00:06:13.829 up in humble, texas And kiara romero She finished 00:06:13.829 --> 00:06:18.790 I think eighth Last week as uh tong an won the 00:06:18.790 --> 00:06:20.709 medalist honors for the ducks in the first weekend 00:06:20.990 --> 00:06:24.629 This weekend, Kiara Romero is the leader in the 00:06:24.629 --> 00:06:27.970 clubhouse and the medalist at the Chevron Collegiate 00:06:27.970 --> 00:06:30.290 Championships at Humboldt, Texas as the Ducks 00:06:30.290 --> 00:06:33.189 as a team finish number two to North Carolina. 00:06:33.290 --> 00:06:35.029 The Ducks are third ranked in the country. North 00:06:35.029 --> 00:06:39.089 Carolina 16th ranked. North Carolina had an 11 00:06:39.089 --> 00:06:41.410 under second round and they ended up winning 00:06:41.410 --> 00:06:44.930 by seven strokes. Is it seven strokes? Six strokes 00:06:44.930 --> 00:06:48.750 over the Ducks. But Romero, after a sparkling 00:06:48.750 --> 00:06:51.100 year last year, almost leading the Ducks into 00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:53.939 the national championship in the match play for 00:06:53.939 --> 00:06:59.860 the NCAAs. She fires a final round of 69. And 00:06:59.860 --> 00:07:01.920 so that makes, I think it was just eight under 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.660 or nine under for the tournament. So she wins 00:07:05.660 --> 00:07:10.100 medal dishonors. And Tong An finished second 00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:13.379 for the Ducks in turn, actually, yeah, second 00:07:13.379 --> 00:07:16.019 in the Ducks. She finished in red numbers. Karen 00:07:16.019 --> 00:07:19.040 Su, Sophie Han, DeRay Chung, all finished in 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:24.360 the top. 65 in the tournament so ducks They got 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.100 one they're gonna be in that Texas swing for 00:07:27.100 --> 00:07:29.480 a second then they'll come back home Weather's 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.519 not great at the golf courses right now. It is 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:35.300 not so We didn't mention this we were talking 00:07:35.300 --> 00:07:37.180 a lot about the Mary Nutter where the ducks were 00:07:37.180 --> 00:07:40.500 participating, baby, Jay And Oregon State was 00:07:40.500 --> 00:07:42.279 also in the Mary Nutter So I didn't understand 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.699 this but now I dug a little bit deeper into it 00:07:44.699 --> 00:07:47.259 and the Mary Nutter is like there are multiple 00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:50.339 sites There are like pods of teams that play 00:07:50.339 --> 00:07:53.920 each other at the different sites. And so There 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.600 is I think 16 different teams that play in this 00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.899 tournament It's pretty cool. And so Oregon State 00:07:59.899 --> 00:08:01.860 was in a different pod at the Marion udder So 00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:04.379 they were also in Cathedral City last week where 00:08:04.379 --> 00:08:07.019 the Ducks were but in a different area the Ducks 00:08:07.019 --> 00:08:11.019 had a Great showing I think because of the ranked 00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:12.480 teams that they beat although they only finished 00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:15.879 three and two but the Beavs Get a no -hitter 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:20.990 a no -no by Bailey Murray and the offense dominated 00:08:20.990 --> 00:08:24.050 with 17 runs over Bethune Cookman. They fell 00:08:24.050 --> 00:08:26.350 to Cal Straight North with Northridge 4 -3 in 00:08:26.350 --> 00:08:28.629 their afternoon matchup, but good for Bailey 00:08:28.629 --> 00:08:32.529 Murray. And with that, she was named one of the 00:08:32.529 --> 00:08:37.850 WCC Player of the Week awards and also Jaya Butler, 00:08:38.690 --> 00:08:41.610 this kid, a junior from Rancho Cucamonga. That's 00:08:41.610 --> 00:08:44.789 so fun to say. And she's been dominant at the 00:08:44.789 --> 00:08:48.549 plate all season long. She also won WCC. Conference 00:08:48.549 --> 00:08:50.370 player of the week for the offensive side pitcher 00:08:50.370 --> 00:08:53.350 and an offensive player of the week for Oregon 00:08:53.350 --> 00:08:57.230 State and this kid Butler Man, yeah, just I know 00:08:57.230 --> 00:08:59.210 you want to read some of her stats really good 00:08:59.210 --> 00:09:01.509 numbers. It's it's sometimes when you look at 00:09:01.509 --> 00:09:04.720 a team and you can see how much one player is 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.000 produced versus the rest of the team or the average 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:08.820 of the rest of the team it's really really entertaining 00:09:08.820 --> 00:09:12.799 to me because total bases she has 66 as a team 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:16.000 they have 228 the next best player has 34 but 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.139 if you just look at the middle like the median 00:09:18.139 --> 00:09:19.879 which i think is a more accurate representation 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.659 of the average player the the middle average 00:09:22.659 --> 00:09:25.279 sort of player on this team is getting like 12 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.419 total bases at this point versus her 66 she has 00:09:28.419 --> 00:09:30.620 11 home runs which you said leads the nation 00:09:31.420 --> 00:09:34.639 And that's out of their 23 total home runs, which 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.480 is, I think, actually a pretty good amount as 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.700 a team early on, which obviously she's carrying 00:09:38.700 --> 00:09:42.539 that. But very, very impressive. 474 batting 00:09:42.539 --> 00:09:44.679 average. I mean, this is the type of player that 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:46.539 you want in the middle of your lineup. And a 00:09:46.539 --> 00:09:49.139 kid from last year, she's already surpassed her 00:09:49.139 --> 00:09:52.279 entire season home run totals and RBI totals 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.710 from a year ago. Which is crazy and I just think 00:09:54.710 --> 00:09:57.190 that's how college softball is that the development 00:09:57.190 --> 00:09:59.409 of players It is not linear. It has never been 00:09:59.409 --> 00:10:01.669 linear We can pretend that we know what's gonna 00:10:01.669 --> 00:10:03.490 happen coming into the next season. No clue. 00:10:03.570 --> 00:10:05.809 We never do we never know I think it's recency 00:10:05.809 --> 00:10:07.730 bias every single year and we trick ourselves 00:10:07.730 --> 00:10:10.870 and players like j .f butler and Other players 00:10:10.870 --> 00:10:13.110 that we've seen they just always come out and 00:10:13.110 --> 00:10:16.809 surprising and that's the fun of sports so Good 00:10:16.809 --> 00:10:19.669 on them. We talk a lot about oregon women's softball 00:10:19.669 --> 00:10:22.519 and it would be fun because oregon state Oregon 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.820 will play each other in softball. I think it's 00:10:24.820 --> 00:10:27.659 this week. They play March 4th. Okay, so next 00:10:27.659 --> 00:10:29.639 week. Thanks for correcting me I know I was know 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:32.139 it was soon that was coming up So March 4th, 00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:34.799 and then they play the second half of a doubleheader 00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:38.480 on March 6th at the Jane Sanders classic and 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.259 and we'll be talking more about softballs we 00:10:41.259 --> 00:10:42.620 traverse through the rest of this week because 00:10:42.620 --> 00:10:46.159 again you get to see your first opportunity with 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.679 Melissa Lombardi's team at the Jane coming up 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:53.960 this weekend as they host Stetson and Samford 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:58.440 at the Jane, among others. When we come back, 00:10:58.899 --> 00:11:01.960 Angie Machado from Beaver Blitz. The schedule 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:04.240 has come out. What about the Civil War game in 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.480 football? It's off the table for the next couple 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.940 of years. What does Beaver Nation think about 00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:11.200 this? We'll talk about that next with Angie on 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.919 the Danny and Justin radio program. All right, 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:20.100 my rant on false death proclamations on social 00:11:20.100 --> 00:11:22.840 media in the last segment. You are not gonna 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:25.580 wanna miss this. On the Danny and Justin radio 00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:27.940 program, stay tuned, friends. We'll also be talking 00:11:27.940 --> 00:11:30.200 a lot more baseball, softball, some basketball 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.460 in there as well. Some more honors for Oregon 00:11:32.460 --> 00:11:34.990 State men's baseball. We'll discuss that in the 00:11:34.990 --> 00:11:36.649 last segment. But first, let's head on over to 00:11:36.649 --> 00:11:40.649 the Oregon Man Clinics Hotline at 541 -343 -5673 00:11:40.649 --> 00:11:42.870 from the Bigfoot Beverages Studios. A bright 00:11:42.870 --> 00:11:45.330 ray of sunshine through all the gray clouds and 00:11:45.330 --> 00:11:47.490 the rain. To the north we look, and the owner 00:11:47.490 --> 00:11:51.230 of Beaver Blitz, part of 24 -7 CBS Sports, it 00:11:51.230 --> 00:11:53.590 is the great Angie Machado joining us. Angie, 00:11:53.669 --> 00:11:57.080 how are you today? I am great. How are you guys? 00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.879 We're fantastic. Thanks for hopping back on with 00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:02.519 us So some things have been yeah some things 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:04.820 have been happening some stuff's been going on 00:12:04.820 --> 00:12:07.759 and the recent announcement that just came out 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.840 a day or so ago and Apparently Rob Mullins and 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:13.779 Scott Barnes could not come to an agreement on 00:12:13.779 --> 00:12:17.440 scheduling and so no civil war We kind of knew 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.240 this was going to happen, but it's now official, 00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.820 at least for the next two years. No civil war. 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.940 2028, possibly. Could be the next time, but it's 00:12:24.940 --> 00:12:28.000 nothing definitive. What's the pulse and what's 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.639 the take in Beaver Nation been on this? It's 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:34.500 so crazy. When that came out yesterday, I was 00:12:34.500 --> 00:12:37.840 looking at both duck and beaver kind of reactions. 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.519 It's such a change, right? I mean, I love the 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.559 Civil War. I've grown up in Oregonia my entire 00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:48.039 life. I went to Oregon State, so I've been around 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.340 a long time. So from the 90s, 98 Civil War was 00:12:52.340 --> 00:12:54.059 maybe one of the best football games I've ever 00:12:54.059 --> 00:12:56.220 seen in person in my life. That game was the 00:12:56.220 --> 00:12:59.600 double overtime thriller that it was. So many 00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:02.600 great Civil War memories. Although now I think 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.379 both fan bases are to the point, they love the 00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:08.659 history. They love what the Civil War was. I 00:13:08.659 --> 00:13:11.019 don't think it's there anymore. You look at Duck 00:13:11.019 --> 00:13:13.159 fans and they're kind of like, okay, it's like 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:17.549 an easy win for us. It's not even really a game 00:13:17.549 --> 00:13:21.049 Beaver fans feel that you know, yeah, it's they 00:13:21.049 --> 00:13:23.809 love the history, but it's like why why are we 00:13:23.809 --> 00:13:26.149 doing this? You know, I think there's still some 00:13:26.149 --> 00:13:28.149 bitterness and Beaver Nation of why would we 00:13:28.149 --> 00:13:30.649 make it an easy game? You know, they Oregon chose 00:13:30.649 --> 00:13:33.789 to be a big 10 school. Let him play Rutgers That 00:13:33.789 --> 00:13:36.230 is kind of the pulse around a lot of Beaver fans, 00:13:36.429 --> 00:13:39.210 right is is why you know If we're gonna play 00:13:39.210 --> 00:13:42.090 a body by game, then let's play it someplace 00:13:43.179 --> 00:13:45.379 That's a way better destination than Eugene. 00:13:45.779 --> 00:13:49.480 So There's I think both sides have a point of 00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:52.440 like why why do we continue it when it's such 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.600 a rift? It's not even a close You know, there's 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.139 not even the chance anymore. So Like I said, 00:13:58.139 --> 00:14:01.279 I think it's sad. I think it I think that's yeah 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.759 I think everybody's still mourning not just the 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:08.139 Pac -12 Demise, but then the whole college football 00:14:08.139 --> 00:14:10.379 in general has changed so much in the past five 00:14:10.379 --> 00:14:13.620 six years that Think there's a lot of kind of 00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:15.799 like wow kind of missed some of the tradition 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:19.419 But new traditions new hopes and you know, maybe 00:14:19.419 --> 00:14:22.399 we will see Civil War played one -off, you know 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.840 different years but it is sad that it's not a 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:28.500 yearly thing and You know, it's definitely been 00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:30.500 an interesting time for me Joining this industry 00:14:30.500 --> 00:14:32.480 over the last few years to see how the all the 00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:34.480 changes have gone down But it does seem like 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.179 the crux of the game and the especially from 00:14:37.179 --> 00:14:38.980 the beaver side and definitely from the from 00:14:38.980 --> 00:14:40.399 the duck side, too It's been the competitiveness 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.620 like you're kind of getting at. Yeah So if we're 00:14:42.620 --> 00:14:44.620 gonna best case scenario it we're gonna say, 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:46.480 okay What's the best case scenario here? Does 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.700 that to your timeline if you're gonna sit there 00:14:48.700 --> 00:14:50.500 and go? Okay should Marcus Shepard's gonna work 00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:52.960 out and the beavers new conference is gonna work 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:54.740 out and you know a couple years of that and you 00:14:54.740 --> 00:14:57.750 build up a little bit like is there like a chance 00:14:57.750 --> 00:15:00.429 that a couple years from now we might see a potential 00:15:00.429 --> 00:15:03.029 game that could be more competitive or does it 00:15:03.029 --> 00:15:04.789 just seem like these two programs right now are 00:15:04.789 --> 00:15:07.590 just going in such opposite directions that even 00:15:07.590 --> 00:15:09.409 a couple years from now it's still going to be 00:15:09.409 --> 00:15:11.570 that kind of game where it's like yeah oregon 00:15:11.570 --> 00:15:15.110 is probably going to get an easy win yeah i mean 00:15:15.110 --> 00:15:18.370 justin i theoretically in your head that's what 00:15:18.370 --> 00:15:20.970 you think but um with the portal the way it is 00:15:20.970 --> 00:15:22.970 unless there's some changes to the transfer portal 00:15:23.340 --> 00:15:25.940 I don't see it happening just because, you know, 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.039 Oregon State, you can build all you want and 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.000 develop players, but as soon as you develop them, 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.659 then you have schools, you know, offering three 00:15:33.659 --> 00:15:37.019 to $500 ,000 to come be a backup, you know? So 00:15:37.019 --> 00:15:40.720 at that level, Oregon State can't build something 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.019 because they're constantly replenishing. It's 00:15:43.019 --> 00:15:46.559 constant, you know, replenish mode. It's a, like 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.919 I said, unless there's changes to the whole portal 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.000 and how many times people, you know, I think 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.059 that whole Oregon State Going out finding the 00:15:54.059 --> 00:15:56.100 quote diamonds in the rough and building something 00:15:56.100 --> 00:15:59.779 I think that's a tough A tough road to hoe just 00:15:59.779 --> 00:16:02.580 because you can't build. Um, it's harder. It's 00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:05.100 harder to build I shouldn't say you can't it's 00:16:05.100 --> 00:16:07.240 harder to build because as soon as you start 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:08.980 seeing success those players are going to be 00:16:08.980 --> 00:16:13.450 poached to bigger programs, so um I think it's 00:16:13.450 --> 00:16:16.970 just such a hard dynamic right now. Both schools 00:16:16.970 --> 00:16:20.289 are clawing and fighting, or say it's clawing 00:16:20.289 --> 00:16:24.610 and fighting. I just don't see any, unless massive 00:16:24.610 --> 00:16:27.669 changes come about, any kind of a level type 00:16:27.669 --> 00:16:31.509 playing field to make it even competitive. Angie 00:16:31.509 --> 00:16:33.730 Machado joining us from BeaverBlitz .com. You 00:16:33.730 --> 00:16:35.929 can follow her there, but also give her a Twitter 00:16:35.929 --> 00:16:38.190 follow if you want. Angie Machado, that's M -A 00:16:38.190 --> 00:16:41.990 -C -H -A -D -O with the number one behind it 00:16:41.990 --> 00:16:44.549 on the Twitter, and joins us here on the Danny 00:16:44.549 --> 00:16:45.950 and Justin radio program. So let's talk about 00:16:45.950 --> 00:16:48.090 what we do know, and that's the schedule for 00:16:48.090 --> 00:16:50.950 Oregon State football. And this is not an easy 00:16:50.950 --> 00:16:54.029 start for Jamarcus Shepherd as he unveils his 00:16:54.029 --> 00:16:57.330 era at Houston on September the 5th, and two 00:16:57.330 --> 00:16:59.850 home games against Texas Tech and a team in Montana 00:16:59.850 --> 00:17:02.990 that... made it to the FBS semifinals or the 00:17:02.990 --> 00:17:05.690 FCS semifinals last year losing to Montana State 00:17:05.690 --> 00:17:07.970 in a perennially great program and they're gonna 00:17:07.970 --> 00:17:10.009 have a new head coach as Bobby Hauck retires. 00:17:10.450 --> 00:17:12.190 So talk about how this schedule lays out because 00:17:12.190 --> 00:17:14.549 I also want to talk about the end where I think 00:17:14.549 --> 00:17:17.690 the Pac -12 did something I believe other conferences 00:17:17.690 --> 00:17:21.210 are gonna start doing if they can and we'll talk 00:17:21.210 --> 00:17:22.809 about at the end but first talk about this first 00:17:22.809 --> 00:17:25.690 three weeks of this schedule. Yeah, the first 00:17:25.690 --> 00:17:27.589 three weeks is going to be tough. I mean it to 00:17:27.589 --> 00:17:29.250 Marcus Sheppard's not walking into some, you 00:17:29.250 --> 00:17:32.230 know cakewalk easy schedule here Yeah, you know 00:17:32.230 --> 00:17:34.089 on the road at Houston starting off right on 00:17:34.089 --> 00:17:37.009 the road and going to face former Beaver Trent 00:17:37.009 --> 00:17:39.849 Walker who transferred in the offseason to to 00:17:39.849 --> 00:17:42.890 Houston So a little quick homecoming game for 00:17:42.890 --> 00:17:45.750 you know Trent to see his former former teammates 00:17:45.750 --> 00:17:50.289 coming to to Texas Texas Tech obviously is one 00:17:50.289 --> 00:17:53.730 of those New, new, rich programs, lots of money, 00:17:54.150 --> 00:17:56.309 you know, 40 to $50 million roster, it sounds 00:17:56.309 --> 00:18:00.289 like from things I've been reading. It just, 00:18:00.289 --> 00:18:01.609 you know, a lot on the upswing. And like you 00:18:01.609 --> 00:18:04.750 said, Montana, that is that's yes, a lower division, 00:18:04.769 --> 00:18:08.549 but always a powerhouse. So I like that two of 00:18:08.549 --> 00:18:10.430 those games are at home. I think that's big, 00:18:10.430 --> 00:18:15.329 but not an easy schedule at all when you when 00:18:15.329 --> 00:18:17.670 you look at how things shape up. And then you 00:18:17.670 --> 00:18:19.809 start, you know, kind of digging in another non 00:18:19.809 --> 00:18:23.089 -conference with UTEP. And then you dig into 00:18:23.089 --> 00:18:27.289 that crux of the new PAC -10, PAC -12 schedule 00:18:27.289 --> 00:18:30.369 going on the road to Fort Collins, Colorado State. 00:18:30.769 --> 00:18:32.890 And, you know, you look at Oregon State and Washington 00:18:32.890 --> 00:18:36.250 State, I'd say, you know, being the lone holdovers 00:18:36.250 --> 00:18:39.210 of the PAC -12 that has rebuilt this thing, they're 00:18:39.210 --> 00:18:40.829 going to have a target on their backs. They're 00:18:40.829 --> 00:18:43.450 the programs that have come in with more money, 00:18:43.549 --> 00:18:47.059 you know, historically more money. backing had 00:18:47.059 --> 00:18:50.680 those Pac -12 media deals of the past. So, you 00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:52.660 know, everybody's going to be gunning for Oregon 00:18:52.660 --> 00:18:55.119 State and Washington State who kind of thinks, 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.019 I think, of themselves more as the bully on the 00:18:57.019 --> 00:19:00.119 block. So go to Fort Collins. Then you come back. 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.619 San Diego State at home at Reeser, I think is, 00:19:02.740 --> 00:19:04.380 you know, I'd rather play them at home than down 00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:06.779 in San Diego, although a trip to San Diego in 00:19:06.779 --> 00:19:11.450 October would not be a bad day to go. Cougars 00:19:11.450 --> 00:19:14.509 at home. So Washington State comes to town and 00:19:14.509 --> 00:19:17.670 then it really it gets tough I look at it. You 00:19:17.670 --> 00:19:20.210 have Fresno State at Fresno always a tough place 00:19:20.210 --> 00:19:23.349 to play Texas State at home. That's a that's 00:19:23.349 --> 00:19:25.430 an up -and -coming team, but they're hungry, 00:19:25.710 --> 00:19:27.970 you know There are a whole program that's so 00:19:27.970 --> 00:19:31.250 focused and then Boise State in Utah State Boise 00:19:31.250 --> 00:19:34.549 on the road You know, that's a top, you know, 00:19:34.650 --> 00:19:37.880 that's a top 15 program top 20 program kind of 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.019 year in, year out. So on the road, Boise is such 00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:43.700 a hard place to play in mid -November. And then 00:19:43.700 --> 00:19:47.660 Utah State at Reser, who, you know, they're gunning 00:19:47.660 --> 00:19:51.039 for top spot as well. So then you talk about 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:55.019 that whole flex game. Yeah. And I agree. I think 00:19:55.019 --> 00:19:57.440 that so Pac -12 is being innovative here with 00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:00.940 the flex. And it's a way for them to evaluate 00:20:00.940 --> 00:20:03.210 toward the end of the season. for matchups that 00:20:03.210 --> 00:20:05.789 potentially if you if or if the pack 12 has a 00:20:05.789 --> 00:20:08.150 team that's you know right there that potentially 00:20:08.150 --> 00:20:12.150 could be in the cfp right making you know giving 00:20:12.150 --> 00:20:14.390 those matchups the best opportunity to get a 00:20:14.390 --> 00:20:17.349 team in the best opportunity right yeah so um 00:20:17.349 --> 00:20:19.990 and then and then matching up you know teams 00:20:19.990 --> 00:20:22.930 for for good um you know just a good matchup 00:20:22.930 --> 00:20:26.509 beside that so i love the thinking outside the 00:20:26.509 --> 00:20:29.609 box here i do i think this is something um other 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:32.660 Conferences even power for conferences will look 00:20:32.660 --> 00:20:36.480 at in the future Just because it you know, yeah, 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:40.500 you look at the SEC or ACC big 10 big 12 You 00:20:40.500 --> 00:20:44.299 have a flex game in there you you know Position 00:20:44.299 --> 00:20:46.799 it right to get yourself two or three players 00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:49.240 teams in the in the CFP instead of maybe one 00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:53.380 so I think it's big So we'll see we'll see how 00:20:53.380 --> 00:20:56.599 it goes different different for you know the 00:20:56.650 --> 00:20:59.329 You know oregon state fans know, um, you know 00:20:59.329 --> 00:21:02.369 usc's and washington and oregon and on that schedule 00:21:02.369 --> 00:21:04.789 But I do think there'll be some quality football 00:21:04.789 --> 00:21:08.690 with with this uh schedule So last year dany 00:21:08.690 --> 00:21:11.210 and I we were weaver believers We talked ourselves 00:21:11.210 --> 00:21:13.789 I think into eight or nine wins each and I think 00:21:13.789 --> 00:21:16.250 you were somewhat similar when we talked on the 00:21:16.250 --> 00:21:18.710 game day program Yeah, so this year obviously, 00:21:18.710 --> 00:21:20.150 I think the numbers would be a little bit lower, 00:21:20.150 --> 00:21:22.630 but Last year by the end of it. I think we were 00:21:22.630 --> 00:21:24.210 all saying hey, let's just get this season over 00:21:24.210 --> 00:21:26.009 with let's get the next season We'll just figure 00:21:26.009 --> 00:21:28.349 it out from there Coming into you know, obviously 00:21:28.349 --> 00:21:29.950 we're still in the offseason, but coming into 00:21:29.950 --> 00:21:32.589 the next season Where is your sort of line of 00:21:32.589 --> 00:21:34.970 like hey, I'd like to see you know five wins 00:21:34.970 --> 00:21:36.950 six wins Like what's it? What's a good step for 00:21:36.950 --> 00:21:40.890 this program this year? Well, I mean new coach 00:21:40.890 --> 00:21:43.809 I mean I've been just starting going through 00:21:43.809 --> 00:21:47.309 spring previews position by position and It's 00:21:47.309 --> 00:21:49.289 taking so much extra time just because this roster 00:21:49.289 --> 00:21:52.710 is completely flipped. So a brand new roster, 00:21:52.970 --> 00:21:56.349 a brand new coaching staff. Right now, before 00:21:56.349 --> 00:21:58.410 spring, before I've seen anything, I say four, 00:21:58.609 --> 00:22:01.410 you know, try to get four wins. Double what you 00:22:01.410 --> 00:22:06.109 got a year ago. I'm anxious to see, you know, 00:22:06.109 --> 00:22:07.890 and it sounds really cliche, but I'm anxious 00:22:07.890 --> 00:22:10.650 to see what the culture is like on this team 00:22:10.650 --> 00:22:13.250 and what the motivation is. Because Coach Shepard 00:22:13.250 --> 00:22:18.160 has such a... energetic, he's a fiery coach, 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:20.700 different than Bray. I mean, Bray had his fire 00:22:20.700 --> 00:22:22.920 to him, but I think Coach Bray was one of these 00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:25.240 guys that kind of put his head, he's a hard worker, 00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:27.220 he puts everything he has into football coaching, 00:22:27.500 --> 00:22:30.000 and I think he just expected everyone around 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.920 him to be in that same mindset. Shepherd looks, 00:22:35.339 --> 00:22:38.980 from what I've seen, appears to be a motivator 00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:42.420 and a coach. I don't want to say pray was not 00:22:42.420 --> 00:22:44.299 a coach, but you see kind of where I'm going 00:22:44.299 --> 00:22:49.759 with that. Totally different. He you know, there's 00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:52.680 a different accountability. Workouts are different. 00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:56.160 It'll be interesting. I'm anxious to hear if 00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.460 the things I've heard from from players and family 00:22:58.460 --> 00:23:01.480 members is just it's night and day, but you hear 00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:02.740 that all the time. You know we always hear in 00:23:02.740 --> 00:23:04.640 the offseason. Oh workouts. Everyone's working 00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:06.720 hard and everybody's staying and everybody's 00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:09.759 working extra moods. Good locker rooms. Good. 00:23:09.950 --> 00:23:12.029 I want to see it. I want to see what this mood 00:23:12.029 --> 00:23:16.650 is like. But I think for four wins this year, 00:23:17.589 --> 00:23:19.049 you know, obviously Beaver fans want to see a 00:23:19.049 --> 00:23:21.710 lot more than that. I just think with so much 00:23:21.710 --> 00:23:24.150 uncertainty. Now, as we get closer and we get 00:23:24.150 --> 00:23:27.549 into August, maybe maybe I'm singing a different 00:23:27.549 --> 00:23:29.390 tune and I say, oh, this is a six or an eight 00:23:29.390 --> 00:23:32.390 win team. But right now I think four is is where 00:23:32.390 --> 00:23:34.750 I'm kind of putting my my ceiling or my floor. 00:23:34.809 --> 00:23:37.109 Sorry. Angie Machado joining us from Beaver Bliss. 00:23:37.210 --> 00:23:39.609 Last question, Angie, first to comment, and I 00:23:39.609 --> 00:23:42.130 agree with you, but this has kind of been a whole 00:23:42.130 --> 00:23:45.630 different type of coach than the last few coaches 00:23:45.630 --> 00:23:47.589 Oregon State's had. Listen, Jonathan Smith was 00:23:47.589 --> 00:23:50.450 not the big yelling rah rah guy, Trent Bray in 00:23:50.450 --> 00:23:52.170 the same mold. Mike, even going back to Mike 00:23:52.170 --> 00:23:54.509 Riley, I mean, Mike was a very personable guy, 00:23:54.509 --> 00:23:57.289 but he wasn't the huge demonstrative guy on the 00:23:57.289 --> 00:23:58.849 sidelines as well. I think the last one I can 00:23:58.849 --> 00:24:00.650 think of was probably Dennis Erickson. I can 00:24:00.650 --> 00:24:02.839 go all the way back that far. to have one that 00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:05.099 was really fiery on the sidelines as well. But 00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:07.759 speaking of the coaching staff, a big get for 00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:10.559 Jamarcus Shepard, and it's on the defensive side 00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:12.900 of football. Obviously, he's more familiar as 00:24:12.900 --> 00:24:14.980 being a wide receiver coach, an offensive guy. 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:16.900 He brought in somebody on the defensive side 00:24:16.900 --> 00:24:18.440 of the football I think can really help this 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.559 program. Talk about Mike McIntyre. Yeah, I think 00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:24.140 that was one of the things we talked about with 00:24:24.140 --> 00:24:26.519 Bray. And you were so right on about the demonstrative. 00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:30.880 And yeah, Riley Smith. Trent, all real more mild 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.819 -mannered. Gary Anderson was a little more fiery, 00:24:34.259 --> 00:24:36.559 but still not on the sideline. Like you said, 00:24:36.660 --> 00:24:39.019 Dennis Erickson comes to mind as a fiery one. 00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:42.839 No, Mike McIntyre, we talked about with Coach 00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:45.380 Bray about being a first -time head coach and 00:24:45.380 --> 00:24:48.440 surrounding himself with experience, and he didn't. 00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:50.539 He brought in two first -time coordinators in 00:24:50.539 --> 00:24:55.200 Ryan Gunderson and Keith Hayward. was something 00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:57.460 that kind of stood out, especially for Trent 00:24:57.460 --> 00:25:00.000 on the offensive side of the ball. Not having 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.940 someone with more experience. Jamarcus Shepard 00:25:01.940 --> 00:25:04.599 having that offensive experience, being able 00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.579 to go out and get someone like Mike McIntyre 00:25:07.579 --> 00:25:10.180 comes in. I mean, Mike McIntyre has been everywhere. 00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:12.319 He's well respected. He's been a head coach. 00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:16.220 He's been position coach. Everyone knows and 00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:19.759 loves him. He's got a great personality. He knows 00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:22.599 ball and he can also be a sounding board for 00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.190 Jamarcus. for program -wide things or head coaching 00:25:26.190 --> 00:25:29.609 questions you may have. I love the hire. The 00:25:29.609 --> 00:25:31.930 whole staff seems really solid in my opinion, 00:25:32.049 --> 00:25:34.950 what I've seen and heard from. They get along 00:25:34.950 --> 00:25:38.430 really well and I'm excited to see them come 00:25:38.430 --> 00:25:41.130 March when the Beavs open up spring ball. As 00:25:41.130 --> 00:25:42.950 we will as well. Angie, I know you got to run. 00:25:42.970 --> 00:25:45.130 Thank you so much for your time.

Get the 00:26:08.589 --> 00:26:10.289 blood pressure down a little bit because I was 00:26:10.289 --> 00:26:12.710 fired up this morning. If we would have done 00:26:12.710 --> 00:26:15.309 this program at 10 a .m., it might be a different 00:26:15.309 --> 00:26:17.450 last segment, but we'll see if we'll get through 00:26:17.450 --> 00:26:21.309 it. I want to talk about the fake stuff on social 00:26:21.309 --> 00:26:24.410 media. Got me all fired up yesterday. We'll also 00:26:24.410 --> 00:26:26.309 talk a little bit of basketball and baseball 00:26:26.309 --> 00:26:32.630 as well, Oregon. Shame on you. Shame. Shame. 00:26:32.930 --> 00:26:35.750 If you missed any of that interview with Andy 00:26:35.750 --> 00:26:39.890 Machado from Beaver Blitz, you can go follow 00:26:39.890 --> 00:26:42.529 her in BeaverBlitz .com and also AngieMachado1 00:26:42.529 --> 00:26:46.430 on the old Twitter.

So let's 00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:04.339 talk a little softball both the Oregon State 00:27:04.339 --> 00:27:08.839 and Oregon women are back at home Oregon women 00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:12.099 are eight and six overall. They don't start playing 00:27:12.099 --> 00:27:19.279 conference until I'm gonna say Gosh, when is 00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:22.299 it? I keep scrolling down the schedule trying 00:27:22.299 --> 00:27:25.140 to figure out when conference starts. March 13th. 00:27:25.140 --> 00:27:28.339 It's late. Against Penn State. So here's what's 00:27:28.339 --> 00:27:30.259 coming up this weekend. You get your first opportunity 00:27:30.259 --> 00:27:35.339 at the Oregon Classic to see Oregon duck softball 00:27:35.339 --> 00:27:39.680 at the Jane. And it will be Stetson at 1230. 00:27:40.500 --> 00:27:47.339 Then Idaho State at 330. Also Stetson Samford's 00:27:47.339 --> 00:27:51.059 in town. So then on Saturday, it'll be Stetson 00:27:51.059 --> 00:27:56.279 at 330 and Samford at 6 p .m. and a lot of softball 00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:58.819 a lot of soft because Idaho State Stetson Samford 00:27:58.819 --> 00:28:00.599 will also be playing each other in this little 00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:02.940 mini tournament and then the single game Will 00:28:02.940 --> 00:28:05.319 be March the 4th. It'll be the Civil War on the 00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:09.740 diamond as Oregon State And Oregon will face 00:28:09.740 --> 00:28:12.819 off, but it will be up in Corvallis and then 00:28:12.819 --> 00:28:15.430 the Jane Sanders classic Can I get into this 00:28:15.430 --> 00:28:17.589 real quick? Yeah, go ahead. I have thoughts on 00:28:17.589 --> 00:28:20.369 this. Nevada against Oregon State, Sacramento 00:28:20.369 --> 00:28:23.950 against Nevada. That'll be on Friday, March the 00:28:23.950 --> 00:28:25.769 6th. I'm giving you the next two weekends of 00:28:25.769 --> 00:28:30.750 action. And then Oregon State and Oregon rematch, 00:28:31.250 --> 00:28:36.650 3 .30 on Friday, March the 6th. And then on Saturday, 00:28:37.089 --> 00:28:40.809 it will be Sacramento State against Oregon at 00:28:40.809 --> 00:28:44.670 6 p .m. And on Sunday, Nevada against Oregon. 00:28:45.349 --> 00:28:47.490 Well, I missed one Nevada against Oregon 330 00:28:47.490 --> 00:28:49.670 on Saturday the 7th followed by Sacramento State 00:28:49.670 --> 00:28:52.390 back -to -back 6 p .m. And then Nevada again 00:28:52.390 --> 00:28:56.430 on Sunday and then it's conference play the rest 00:28:56.430 --> 00:28:58.309 of the way You want to know what this sounds 00:28:58.309 --> 00:29:01.430 like to me? Tell me a lot of expected wins quite 00:29:01.430 --> 00:29:03.950 honestly, especially in this upcoming tournament 00:29:03.950 --> 00:29:08.529 against Idaho State Stetson Sanford like I don't 00:29:08.529 --> 00:29:09.690 get me wrong. I have to do a little more research 00:29:09.690 --> 00:29:12.250 on these teams, but These are a lot of games 00:29:12.250 --> 00:29:15.529 that Oregon schedule started off very top -heavy 00:29:15.529 --> 00:29:19.029 and I would say it was interesting. They had 00:29:19.029 --> 00:29:21.849 mixed success. I don't know if anybody really 00:29:21.849 --> 00:29:26.069 knows how good this 2026 version 8 team is quite 00:29:26.069 --> 00:29:28.069 yet based on what we've seen so far because it's 00:29:28.069 --> 00:29:31.369 been a little up and down and we've seen good 00:29:31.369 --> 00:29:34.950 against good and bad against bad. Kind of makes 00:29:34.950 --> 00:29:36.390 sense like no it makes like that's that last 00:29:36.390 --> 00:29:38.369 I got you I'm following you beat the three ranked 00:29:38.369 --> 00:29:40.950 teams and the two Unranked teams they lost which 00:29:40.950 --> 00:29:42.690 is interesting. I don't think it means anything 00:29:42.690 --> 00:29:44.869 quite yet, but I do see a lot of games upcoming 00:29:44.869 --> 00:29:48.029 on this schedule I mean again Stetson Sanford, 00:29:48.029 --> 00:29:50.289 Idaho State you got to be winning almost all 00:29:50.289 --> 00:29:51.750 of these games I know there's a lot of softball 00:29:51.750 --> 00:29:53.910 doubleheaders stuff like that, but these are 00:29:53.910 --> 00:29:55.730 important games to just win Well that pitching 00:29:55.730 --> 00:29:58.009 staff which is four deep for Melissa Lombardi. 00:29:58.009 --> 00:30:00.309 They are 40, which is great. I think that goes 00:30:00.309 --> 00:30:03.309 in their favor And there are 11 games now in 00:30:03.309 --> 00:30:05.609 the next two weeks only one of those are away 00:30:05.609 --> 00:30:07.289 from the jane And that's when they just take 00:30:07.289 --> 00:30:09.329 the short road trip to corvallis So literally 00:30:09.329 --> 00:30:11.670 they can get themselves to 19 wins if they win 00:30:11.670 --> 00:30:12.890 all i'm glad you brought up the pitching staff 00:30:12.890 --> 00:30:14.750 actually That's a really good point because it 00:30:14.750 --> 00:30:16.569 is important to have four deep. Let's not forget 00:30:16.569 --> 00:30:20.329 that lindsey grind her 180 innings last year 00:30:20.329 --> 00:30:23.029 was a career high and I definitely think that 00:30:23.029 --> 00:30:25.230 by the end of the season She showed a little 00:30:25.230 --> 00:30:29.250 fatigue for sure and this is a team that I think 00:30:29.250 --> 00:30:31.299 they know the path at this point A lot of the 00:30:31.299 --> 00:30:34.259 team has been there last year. So they they're 00:30:34.259 --> 00:30:35.759 they're setting themselves up for the end of 00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:37.220 the season, right? That's that's got to be what 00:30:37.220 --> 00:30:38.539 your whole season. You got to get through the 00:30:38.539 --> 00:30:40.259 season, obviously, but the whole time you're 00:30:40.259 --> 00:30:42.559 trying to set yourself up for the end to do that. 00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:44.539 The depth pitching wise, I think is going to 00:30:44.539 --> 00:30:47.099 be huge. Not that Lindsey hasn't maybe worked 00:30:47.099 --> 00:30:49.380 herself up to that, but I think you want to keep 00:30:49.380 --> 00:30:51.400 at least Lindsey. I mean, all these pitchers, 00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:54.619 obviously, but particularly Lindsey got to keep 00:30:54.619 --> 00:30:56.220 her fresh by the end of the season. Well, Taylor 00:30:56.220 --> 00:30:58.660 Spencer and Maddie Milhorn, the last two after. 00:30:58.910 --> 00:31:01.809 Lindsey Grine and Elise Sokolsky are going to 00:31:01.809 --> 00:31:04.849 come into factor in this. They're going to come 00:31:04.849 --> 00:31:07.210 factor all season long, but especially when you've 00:31:07.210 --> 00:31:10.730 got the doubleheader games. Especially. And that 00:31:10.730 --> 00:31:14.509 was where last year with the pitching staff that 00:31:14.509 --> 00:31:17.450 Oregon had last year that was again led by Lindsey 00:31:17.450 --> 00:31:19.930 Grine and Elise Sokolsky. Yes. Had the advantage, 00:31:19.990 --> 00:31:21.450 I think, over Stanford when they had to play 00:31:21.450 --> 00:31:23.710 back -to -back games in elimination games at 00:31:23.710 --> 00:31:25.529 the Jane, which was in the region. Which is great. 00:31:25.660 --> 00:31:29.299 And it totally changed, the dynamic of the season 00:31:29.299 --> 00:31:32.839 changed mightily at that point. Two really good 00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:34.700 ones. So we'll see how that shakes out It's gonna 00:31:34.700 --> 00:31:36.960 be interesting to see and I'm excited to see 00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:39.559 the the girls. I didn't see the person Yeah, 00:31:39.559 --> 00:31:41.480 the women I don't say girls the women back here 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:43.720 at home strong young women that are out there 00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:45.640 playing softball and representing the University 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.240 of Oregon So let's move on over to the diamond 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:50.920 Oregon men are gonna be heading down to Vegas 00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:53.420 taking on some stiff competition and that'll 00:31:53.420 --> 00:31:55.960 be Thursday Friday Saturday, I believe Oregon 00:31:55.960 --> 00:32:00.339 State is Getting back in action. They stay in 00:32:00.339 --> 00:32:04.289 Texas They're taking on Houston a game 2 p .m. 00:32:04.289 --> 00:32:08.410 In Texas 12 noon Pacific time on Friday The first 00:32:08.410 --> 00:32:10.470 of three games in Frisco, so they're back -to 00:32:10.470 --> 00:32:13.660 -back weeks in Texas Oregon State right -handed 00:32:13.660 --> 00:32:15.900 pitcher Dax Whitney, who we talked about after 00:32:15.900 --> 00:32:17.640 his first game down there. He's pretty good. 00:32:18.099 --> 00:32:21.279 He's pretty dang good. Had 17 strikeouts in Oregon 00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:24.240 State single game record against Baylor last 00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:27.819 Friday in a 3 -1 win. He only faced 25 batters, 00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:29.839 gave up two hits a walk, and he did hit a batter. 00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:31.500 But he was named the National Pitcher of the 00:32:31.500 --> 00:32:34.539 Week. The Golden Spikes and D1 Baseball named 00:32:34.539 --> 00:32:37.259 him USA Baseball announced that yesterday. So 00:32:37.259 --> 00:32:40.759 Dax Whitney and Oregon start collecting hardware. 00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:42.720 I guess they give hardware out for this, or at 00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:44.759 least a plaque or something. He's just a sophomore. 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:47.180 Can you believe that? Well, people are surprised 00:32:47.180 --> 00:32:50.299 he got to campus. That he didn't... That he didn't 00:32:50.299 --> 00:32:51.980 just get drafted out of high school. Or grab 00:32:51.980 --> 00:32:53.819 some more money somewhere else from an SEC team 00:32:53.819 --> 00:32:55.980 that wanted to pay half a million dollars for 00:32:55.980 --> 00:32:57.240 an arm. Well, I think it makes sense for Oregon 00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:59.000 State to keep him, want to have him, because 00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:01.180 they have such good development there. And I 00:33:01.180 --> 00:33:02.880 do think there's some more money there than... 00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:06.160 than in many programs, I would say, for Oregon 00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.559 State baseball. But I think the people were surprised. 00:33:08.779 --> 00:33:11.559 He was one of those guys that I think there was 00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:12.900 a guy. I don't remember his name. There was a 00:33:12.900 --> 00:33:14.859 guy drafted this year who was an Oregon State 00:33:14.859 --> 00:33:17.839 Commit and Oregon guy. I think he was six, eight. 00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:20.099 I think a schoolcraft or something like that, 00:33:20.099 --> 00:33:22.420 who basically like those are the guys that they'll 00:33:22.420 --> 00:33:24.279 just get drafted and they don't make it to college. 00:33:24.339 --> 00:33:26.220 And I think once you get to college, obviously 00:33:26.220 --> 00:33:29.019 you're there for a few years. But really, really 00:33:29.019 --> 00:33:31.539 impressive and just a great job to get him on 00:33:31.539 --> 00:33:34.500 campus and keep them here. Oregon baseball as 00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:38.640 I said is on the road as well they're taking 00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:41.440 on Arizona this Friday 6 p .m. so you can hear 00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:44.119 that here locally or watch it on TV. Let's see 00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:46.259 what what TV is on that one's on D1 baseball 00:33:46.259 --> 00:33:49.200 isn't it on their site I think so D1 baseball 00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:53.390 and then you see Irvine the anteaters Saturday 00:33:53.390 --> 00:33:55.650 at noon and then they follow up Sunday against 00:33:55.650 --> 00:33:58.490 Vanderbilt before the single -set game on Tuesday 00:33:58.490 --> 00:34:01.849 Civil War rivalry game again at PK Park it'll 00:34:01.849 --> 00:34:05.009 be a 305 first pitch so take the afternoon off 00:34:05.009 --> 00:34:08.349 and go have a happy hour beverage out at PK before 00:34:08.349 --> 00:34:11.210 the first pitch as Oregon State comes to town 00:34:11.210 --> 00:34:13.449 in the first game of just two this season between 00:34:13.449 --> 00:34:15.510 the Beavs and the Ducks. Funny that Oregon State 00:34:15.510 --> 00:34:18.030 has played more Big Ten teams so far than Oregon 00:34:18.030 --> 00:34:20.699 has. That's and they haven't they haven't I don't 00:34:20.699 --> 00:34:22.260 think they've beaten one. Have they well they 00:34:22.260 --> 00:34:24.440 lost They lost to purdue, which was an upset 00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:26.280 in the making. It was a five three game Well, 00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:28.059 they did beat michigan once did they oh, that's 00:34:28.059 --> 00:34:29.639 right. That was the first game Yeah, so they've 00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:32.159 played man. They played a lot of pack 12 and 00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:35.400 a lot of Former pack 12. I mean a lot of former 00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:38.139 pack 12 and current big 10 michigan arizona stanford 00:34:38.139 --> 00:34:40.860 michigan And then they played purdue the last 00:34:40.860 --> 00:34:43.139 game of the round rock classic which by the way 00:34:43.340 --> 00:34:45.199 Yes, the Beavers also went one and two in the 00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:48.159 Round Rock Classic last year. So nothing to get, 00:34:48.300 --> 00:34:49.880 I think, super duper worried about quite yet 00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:53.159 for their games against Southern Miss and Purdue, 00:34:53.219 --> 00:34:55.800 which were surprising losses, I would say. So 00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:57.679 that's what's all coming up on the diamond in 00:34:57.679 --> 00:34:59.360 the next week or so. We'll talk a little bit 00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:01.000 more tomorrow. In fact, a lot more tomorrow. 00:35:01.579 --> 00:35:05.239 Oregon State men. Oregon men are both in action 00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:08.820 tomorrow night as Oregon State is hosting Senior 00:35:08.820 --> 00:35:12.539 Day against San Diego. They'll honor Jorge Diaz 00:35:12.539 --> 00:35:15.360 Graham and Malcolm Christie. Oregon State's 5 00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:19.079 -1 against San Diego 3 -0 at Gill. The Ducks 00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:23.400 after that huge win for their morale, for their 00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:26.599 pride of the program against USC. I would love 00:35:26.599 --> 00:35:29.960 to debate about the word huge there, but... I 00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:33.019 would say in this mire and muck of a season going 00:35:33.019 --> 00:35:35.889 into the Galen Center... And now Dana Altman 00:35:35.889 --> 00:35:38.289 squads are 10 and three against USC in a season 00:35:38.289 --> 00:35:40.510 that's been like this going seven points in the 00:35:40.510 --> 00:35:43.170 last 57 seconds. It's nice to me. It doesn't 00:35:43.170 --> 00:35:45.070 really change anything. I guess that's that's 00:35:45.070 --> 00:35:46.889 sort of my argument that like I think for most 00:35:46.889 --> 00:35:48.570 people it might. Maybe other people are looking 00:35:48.570 --> 00:35:50.769 at this and saying, well, hey, you got a big 00:35:50.769 --> 00:35:53.449 upset when we needed to see this. Think the situation 00:35:53.449 --> 00:35:55.590 has been the same since all these injuries happen 00:35:55.590 --> 00:35:58.150 since the downturn started It's kind of in the 00:35:58.150 --> 00:36:00.190 same thing this victory has been nice, but we 00:36:00.190 --> 00:36:01.769 knew that Dana Altman's a good coach We knew 00:36:01.769 --> 00:36:03.849 that he could win a game against the USC did 00:36:03.849 --> 00:36:07.630 you see some of the comments after? from Dana 00:36:07.630 --> 00:36:11.349 About the about the intensity that gets ratcheted 00:36:11.349 --> 00:36:14.840 up and how he said it was nice to see The guys 00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:16.619 in the locker room with smiles on their oh, I'm 00:36:16.619 --> 00:36:18.500 sure it's great I just don't think it changes 00:36:18.500 --> 00:36:21.820 anything I guess is why so you can so it's it's 00:36:21.820 --> 00:36:23.619 a I'm just picking at your words a little bit 00:36:23.619 --> 00:36:26.199 A little bit. No, it's fine. You can pick away, 00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:28.019 but what I think it's interesting I think the 00:36:28.019 --> 00:36:31.159 discussion to me is okay this one victory I didn't 00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:32.880 obviously the which are against Penn State as 00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:34.940 well Like it doesn't really change the way I 00:36:34.940 --> 00:36:37.559 view the landscape of what's happened this season 00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:40.079 except for this And this is the only way I'll 00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:42.000 counterpoint that. When I say huge, it's in the 00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:45.320 context of what's gone on. They easily could 00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:47.960 have, again, after playing a hard -fought game 00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:51.280 up to that point with depleted resources, playing 00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:53.559 guys with longer minutes that haven't had a lot 00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:56.579 of exposure for the season, they could have folded 00:36:56.579 --> 00:36:59.059 like a cheap suit or a lawn chair, and they did 00:36:59.059 --> 00:37:01.360 not. And they haven't all year long. And that's 00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:03.239 why I say it's huge, because they finally got 00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:05.960 one of these. Totally. To me, it's—and I don't 00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:08.079 want you to agree with me. I'm just saying. No, 00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:11.179 I don't necessarily. What I say is when you take 00:37:11.179 --> 00:37:12.840 a look at some of the other games that they've 00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:15.800 stayed in, and I'll even go back to being on 00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:17.840 the road against Michigan and or Michigan State 00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:21.079 or Michigan at home, Michigan State, is they 00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:24.219 were in some of those games and then they ran 00:37:24.219 --> 00:37:27.480 out of gas. It was like they hit a wall. And 00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:31.090 that didn't happen. down in Los Angeles. So that's 00:37:31.090 --> 00:37:33.369 why I think it's huge for their confidence. I 00:37:33.369 --> 00:37:36.050 think it's huge for the morale. That it's like, 00:37:36.110 --> 00:37:38.909 you know what? So what? We're down. We're 3 -13 00:37:38.909 --> 00:37:41.710 in conference play. But you know what? We still 00:37:41.710 --> 00:37:45.110 have pride. And we've shown now, everyone, we 00:37:45.110 --> 00:37:47.869 can go into somebody else's environment and beat 00:37:47.869 --> 00:37:51.369 them. And not just walk away with a 15 -20 point 00:37:51.369 --> 00:37:53.969 win, which, God Almighty, I wish they would do 00:37:53.969 --> 00:37:57.800 that. But... that when the westerns come to town 00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.539 or going northwestern so when when when they 00:38:00.539 --> 00:38:02.739 needed to pick themselves up by their bootstraps 00:38:02.739 --> 00:38:05.280 they did it so that's that and they finished 00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:07.019 the deal so when they hopped on that plane it 00:38:07.019 --> 00:38:09.019 was like we didn't lose another close game right 00:38:09.019 --> 00:38:13.340 to me i see a team and i think it's hard to differentiate 00:38:13.340 --> 00:38:15.900 for some people sometimes is a team that is still 00:38:15.900 --> 00:38:18.320 well coached but doesn't have the talent and 00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:19.920 i think there's a very big difference between 00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:22.179 a team that's not well coached But does have 00:38:22.179 --> 00:38:24.059 the talent. I think that looks very, very differently. 00:38:24.219 --> 00:38:25.659 I think that's where I agree with what you're 00:38:25.659 --> 00:38:28.940 saying. This is confirming that to me that this 00:38:28.940 --> 00:38:30.619 is that, you know, Coach Alban has said this, 00:38:30.699 --> 00:38:32.079 that there's only been a couple of halves a season 00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:33.940 where the effort hasn't been there. They've tried 00:38:33.940 --> 00:38:36.260 all season long. I mean, come on, you're you're 00:38:36.260 --> 00:38:37.840 coming off a game where you scored forty four 00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:39.599 hundred percent. Oh, listen, I was there. It 00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:41.039 was it was one of the worst games I've seen. 00:38:41.079 --> 00:38:43.000 It was brutal. It was absolutely brutal. But 00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:44.340 you could have let that game beat you again. 00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:46.360 You didn't let it happen. I think it's interesting 00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:48.199 too. You mentioned running out of gas. It's actually 00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:49.860 it was quite the opposite of what they did. They 00:38:49.860 --> 00:38:51.920 went on a 7 -0 run to end that game. Right. I 00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:55.059 think USC ran out of gas and it was what it was 00:38:55.059 --> 00:38:57.119 great was it was great to see as we were talking 00:38:57.119 --> 00:38:59.820 about with Ryan Clark yesterday. Oregon taking 00:38:59.820 --> 00:39:03.659 advantage of spiting a rival who I mean listen, 00:39:03.659 --> 00:39:08.880 hey nobody in my lean likes USC and USC is fighting 00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:11.880 for That knocked them out of the bubble that 00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:14.099 and then now they're first four out in the late 00:39:14.099 --> 00:39:16.960 I bet you coach Altman said something about that 00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:18.719 I bet you that was a little bit of motivation 00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:20.719 for them coming into that game of you know what 00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:23.780 we Have a hard time seeing how we're gonna basically 00:39:23.780 --> 00:39:25.519 make it through this season and make it anywhere 00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:27.099 Unless they win the big ten tournament somehow, 00:39:27.099 --> 00:39:29.760 but cause some opponents in pain. Yeah play spoiler. 00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:31.900 Why not? So that again, that's that's where to 00:39:31.900 --> 00:39:34.980 me I think that again, I don't completely disagree 00:39:34.980 --> 00:39:36.880 with you But you have to adopt that attitude 00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:38.960 wasn't a huge victory because I think I still 00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:41.320 view the thing everything the same Okay, well 00:39:41.320 --> 00:39:43.800 it is semantics, but that's fine, but it's worth 00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:48.340 a day Danny Justin radio program a few more minutes 00:39:48.340 --> 00:39:50.719 left in the program today tomorrow who gonna 00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:52.619 have anybody tomorrow Travis is gonna be oh I 00:39:52.619 --> 00:39:54.119 just talked to the mayor this morning actually 00:39:54.119 --> 00:39:55.780 you're talking about some other things I'm surprised 00:39:55.780 --> 00:39:59.199 you didn't mention that We were talking about 00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:01.599 wildly different things than that. We didn't 00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:05.199 even talk about the show so I've got my rant 00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:08.900 coming up here in a second, but I for it Okay. 00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:11.260 So did you see the thing that came out of Cleveland 00:40:11.260 --> 00:40:14.019 today? The thing that came out of Cleveland. 00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:17.239 The general manager of the Browns. I did not 00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:22.699 see this. No. So here's. Oh, I did see this. 00:40:23.179 --> 00:40:26.019 Andrew Berry. Andrew Berry did not give. He's 00:40:26.019 --> 00:40:28.059 the general manager of the Cleveland Browns, 00:40:28.139 --> 00:40:30.440 otherwise known as the biggest dumpster fire 00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:33.659 in the Midwest. He did not give a timetable for 00:40:33.659 --> 00:40:35.500 a decision at starting quarterback But he said 00:40:35.500 --> 00:40:37.980 should do her Sanders and Deshaun Watson will 00:40:37.980 --> 00:40:41.659 be among those competing to be a starter in 2026 00:40:41.659 --> 00:40:43.840 So what's interesting about no, you know what 00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:46.900 choices you you know what I say? Thank God for 00:40:46.900 --> 00:40:48.679 Dylan Gabriel. You know what cuz he's probably 00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:50.300 gonna get traded to a team where he's gonna get 00:40:50.300 --> 00:40:54.940 an opportunity to Survive hope so the mess of 00:40:54.940 --> 00:40:58.920 what the Cleveland Browns are and I agree I am 00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:04.039 fine and I'll people go go on your hands and 00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:06.019 knees right now and put your hands together and 00:41:06.019 --> 00:41:10.000 look skyward and go thank you because by draft 00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:13.300 day or not before he'll be traded for somebody 00:41:13.300 --> 00:41:16.860 and he'll get a better opportunity somewhere 00:41:16.860 --> 00:41:19.340 else I mean only thing I hope for him is he doesn't 00:41:19.340 --> 00:41:21.880 go to the Jets Because that would be the only 00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:24.639 worst place that is the East Coast dumpster fire 00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:27.239 What's the West Coast dumpster fire the Raiders 00:41:27.239 --> 00:41:29.480 the red? Oh, absolutely. They're gonna draft 00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:32.019 Mendoza, right? So you don't want to sit behind 00:41:32.019 --> 00:41:34.260 him because he's gonna be the star and the heir 00:41:34.260 --> 00:41:36.719 apparent to anything that they do So I am and 00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:39.880 the Raiders are still just a yeah, they're of 00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:41.980 course with the Chargers So I would like to see 00:41:41.980 --> 00:41:45.380 I would like to see him go to a team like I mean 00:41:45.380 --> 00:41:47.380 I just throw it out there I would like to see 00:41:47.380 --> 00:41:50.329 him go to a team like the Rams Where you've got 00:41:50.329 --> 00:41:56.150 a great offensive mind I would 49ers 49ers I 00:41:56.150 --> 00:41:58.150 mean even like the Seahawks bring them back to 00:41:58.150 --> 00:42:01.150 the West Coast sure I think Dylan needs to go 00:42:01.150 --> 00:42:03.469 somewhere to develop as a backup I think that's 00:42:03.469 --> 00:42:04.889 the way that he's gonna make the most out of 00:42:04.889 --> 00:42:06.670 his NFL career He's probably never gonna be a 00:42:06.670 --> 00:42:08.690 starter and he'll be competitive enough though. 00:42:08.690 --> 00:42:11.750 He'll push everybody in that room Smart and I 00:42:11.750 --> 00:42:13.630 think the only thing about Dylan that you can 00:42:13.630 --> 00:42:15.809 say is his size. I think everything else I mean, 00:42:15.849 --> 00:42:17.050 I don't know if he's got the best arm strength 00:42:17.050 --> 00:42:19.289 either but just between the ears Which I think 00:42:19.289 --> 00:42:21.369 is such a big part of playing quarterback. I 00:42:21.369 --> 00:42:25.010 mean you see what what? The Broncos had to deal 00:42:25.010 --> 00:42:27.710 with yeah this postseason. You need to have a 00:42:27.710 --> 00:42:29.570 good backup quarterback It's very very important. 00:42:29.630 --> 00:42:31.409 You never think it's important until you need 00:42:31.409 --> 00:42:33.710 one Hey, listen, that could be a landing spot 00:42:33.710 --> 00:42:35.590 for him as well. You think Jared Stenum is gonna 00:42:35.590 --> 00:42:40.179 be the backup forever in Denver Listen, I don't 00:42:40.179 --> 00:42:42.119 think I don't think I'd want him as my backup 00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:44.679 because I know what I just saw from him in that 00:42:44.679 --> 00:42:46.880 Really important game where he had to be a backup. 00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:49.639 I'd rather have a guy like Malik Willis Who I 00:42:49.639 --> 00:42:51.099 think is he get paid a lot this offseason. Yeah, 00:42:51.099 --> 00:42:52.820 I think he's gonna catch somewhere basically 00:42:52.820 --> 00:42:55.239 Well, he showed that he's progressed in the he's 00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:57.099 the great packers back He had to get pressed 00:42:57.099 --> 00:42:58.599 into service because Jordan loves been hurt the 00:42:58.599 --> 00:43:00.579 last couple of years Exactly, and he played really 00:43:00.579 --> 00:43:02.579 well and that just goes to show he played for 00:43:02.579 --> 00:43:05.000 Tennessee for a couple years It looked really 00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:06.760 bad for him. You couldn't even almost see the 00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:08.820 potential at times and even though he has traits 00:43:08.820 --> 00:43:11.079 But he goes to Green Bay and he's remade his 00:43:11.079 --> 00:43:13.099 career in two years Well, and I nf was as long 00:43:13.099 --> 00:43:15.079 as we're talking about backups and we can relate 00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:17.179 it back to Oregon as well Marcus Mariota is gonna 00:43:17.179 --> 00:43:20.199 get paid again as well He really stepped in when 00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:22.380 Jane Daniels went down He kept Washington together 00:43:22.380 --> 00:43:24.500 and almost in every single game. Their defense 00:43:24.500 --> 00:43:27.219 was just horrific Hence while what a bad year 00:43:27.219 --> 00:43:29.239 for that coordinator It was just an odd year 00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:31.480 after last year where they played so well, they 00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:34.159 were the darlings of the NFL Yeah, they were 00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:39.480 the darlings. I mean I rose up for ten years 00:43:39.480 --> 00:43:43.440 Super Bowl and then right back into the dumps 00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:45.199 reality. That's the NFL though. That certainly 00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:47.559 is all right. We got a few minutes I'm trying 00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:50.440 to limit the time because I could really get 00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:51.480 fired up. We could do some other things on the 00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:54.260 back end. No, we'll be fine. Alright, so I'm 00:43:54.260 --> 00:43:56.659 just gonna make the cautionary tale to everyone 00:43:56.659 --> 00:43:58.340 out there because it's happened now not just 00:43:58.340 --> 00:44:00.460 once, twice, it's happened several times. And 00:44:00.460 --> 00:44:03.260 I think it's happening all over the country in 00:44:03.260 --> 00:44:07.340 different spheres, but out here, it started weeks 00:44:07.340 --> 00:44:10.900 ago and I've heard a lot of other crazy ones, 00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:14.800 okay? One was, well, one that Jerry Allen and 00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:16.880 John Conzano both had passed away. That went 00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:19.079 on social media. It was on Facebook and or Twitter. 00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:21.699 And apparently, I don't know if they're bots 00:44:21.699 --> 00:44:23.940 or whatever they're doing. OK, there was one 00:44:23.940 --> 00:44:27.440 that Dan Lanning's wife Sophia Lanning was with 00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:32.179 child. I didn't see this. Oh, there's I like 00:44:32.179 --> 00:44:35.639 one into a dark, deep hole and asked, you know, 00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:38.119 questions, not real stories, not real story. 00:44:38.139 --> 00:44:42.139 This is all fake. So last night and I I don't 00:44:42.139 --> 00:44:43.980 know why it stuck with me that it was true, because 00:44:43.980 --> 00:44:46.800 I think I just. And I think this is why they 00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:49.039 did it. It was like it came it looked like it 00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:53.739 was coming from the Chargers organization. Oh 00:44:53.739 --> 00:44:56.480 And I was I'll find then was it just like one 00:44:56.480 --> 00:44:58.579 letter was off Well, the thing was the thing 00:44:58.579 --> 00:45:00.480 was is that it didn't mention anything about 00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:04.619 San Diego In it and it was like Dan Fouser was 00:45:04.619 --> 00:45:08.039 never a part of the Los Angeles Chargers Did 00:45:08.039 --> 00:45:10.739 it say Los Angeles Chargers and all that? So 00:45:10.739 --> 00:45:13.260 that's where you can kind of probably from tell 00:45:13.260 --> 00:45:16.639 me Artificial intelligence. Okay, here we go 00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:20.840 I'm just saying but stop it with this stuff. 00:45:20.900 --> 00:45:25.239 And so it wasn't just me I saw it and I Texted 00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:27.440 both goose and baby Jay last time looking at 00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:30.860 Dom right now And I was just like and and you 00:45:30.860 --> 00:45:33.539 guys No one came back to me and said dude. I 00:45:33.539 --> 00:45:35.199 researched this a little bit. It's it's false 00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:37.179 You were probably I was right in the middle of 00:45:37.179 --> 00:45:40.380 my workout. Yeah, and then after that you played 00:45:40.380 --> 00:45:41.980 a video games You didn't correct bother looking 00:45:41.980 --> 00:45:44.739 it up, but I didn't get any believed you I didn't 00:45:44.739 --> 00:45:46.460 get any pushback But here is what started it 00:45:46.460 --> 00:45:49.940 for me was a couple of my friends not just one 00:45:49.940 --> 00:45:52.699 three different texts from three different individuals 00:45:52.699 --> 00:45:55.719 Texted me to tell me that Dan Fouts had passed 00:45:55.719 --> 00:46:01.650 away So they were reading the same thing And 00:46:01.650 --> 00:46:03.730 that's when I and now if you go on right now, 00:46:03.730 --> 00:46:06.730 you won't even probably be able to find And I 00:46:06.730 --> 00:46:09.510 think it was Facebook that it was on so I'm not 00:46:09.510 --> 00:46:11.289 so Tom. Are you finding it? Are you looking at 00:46:11.289 --> 00:46:13.750 it right now? You do you seeing it? I tried to 00:46:13.750 --> 00:46:16.010 find it earlier today, and I could not find okay. 00:46:16.329 --> 00:46:19.079 It enrages me when stuff like that happens Because 00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:20.639 I mean, Jerry Allen told me the story that his 00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:22.440 wife went to a store, and I'm sure he's not going 00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:24.360 to mind me telling the story. His wife went to 00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:26.000 the store after the whole thing came out, and 00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:28.179 Jerry had no idea what was going on. And she 00:46:28.179 --> 00:46:29.920 was getting weird looks from this person who 00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:32.599 would normally, like, you know, come up and hug 00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:34.119 her, one of the people who worked at the local 00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:38.099 grocery store that they go to. And when his wife 00:46:38.099 --> 00:46:39.579 came back, she said, you know, I had this weird 00:46:39.579 --> 00:46:41.500 interaction at the grocery store, and I'm paraphrasing 00:46:41.500 --> 00:46:43.480 it, obviously.
