WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.880
Oxford Eugene. I love growing the game. I can

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.599
guarantee you, any other West Coast team that's

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.380
watching this, I'm sure USC is gnashing their

00:00:14.380 --> 00:00:16.980
teeth right now saying, how come we couldn't

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:19.640
have thought of this first? Interesting guests.

00:00:19.820 --> 00:00:22.539
Kelly Graves, Mike Parker, Coach Mark Waskowski,

00:00:22.739 --> 00:00:25.199
Melissa Lombardi, Max Torres, El Toro, joining

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.320
us. Sharp opinions. I think if you're a supporter

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.780
of the NBA, that you should at least have some

00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:32.939
level of interest in the WNBA because the things

00:00:32.939 --> 00:00:36.439
that interest you as a NBA fan should still interest

00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:39.950
you as a WNBA fan. And some smiles can you guess

00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:42.350
a position I played in football left out? No,

00:00:42.350 --> 00:00:49.109
I did not. Yeah Goose trying to kill me today

00:00:49.109 --> 00:00:51.530
on the golf course advanced warning was given

00:00:51.530 --> 00:00:54.130
it just apparently was not heard I will dispute

00:00:54.130 --> 00:00:56.829
that in a court of law It's Danny Havell if you're

00:00:56.829 --> 00:00:58.310
driving and you're trying to do this in your

00:00:58.310 --> 00:00:59.850
head pull off the side of the road I don't need

00:00:59.850 --> 00:01:02.369
any accidents Justin gross whiner. I love to

00:01:02.369 --> 00:01:05.349
hear coach go We're gonna focus on that bad for

00:01:05.349 --> 00:01:07.750
game stretch the rest of the season season. We

00:01:07.750 --> 00:01:10.390
will never do that again. That might be a good

00:01:10.390 --> 00:01:11.650
point. I don't know. I mean, maybe you could

00:01:11.650 --> 00:01:13.349
do that. Maybe that's another strategy. Danny

00:01:13.349 --> 00:01:16.629

Justin alexander rooster on air baby. J. What

00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.740
a boy. I have been feening I specifically like

00:02:35.740 --> 00:02:40.860
I've been feening feening as the kids say I literally

00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:45.000
today so the Argentina The Argentina match against

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.680
Austria was on at 10 a .m. Okay, and I had to

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.740
drive from Portland to Eugene which is like a

00:02:50.740 --> 00:02:53.150
two -hour drive A little bit longer maybe with

00:02:53.150 --> 00:02:55.949
the 8 a .m. traffic. So I left at like 8 in the

00:02:55.949 --> 00:02:57.770
morning because I wanted to specifically, I usually

00:02:57.770 --> 00:02:59.250
would leave a little bit later because I know

00:02:59.250 --> 00:03:01.289
our show is at 2 p .m. So I don't have to get

00:03:01.289 --> 00:03:03.750
here super early but I tried to leave earlier

00:03:03.750 --> 00:03:06.270
today because I wanted to see Messi play and

00:03:06.270 --> 00:03:08.490
it was awesome. I made it, yeah, I made it right

00:03:08.490 --> 00:03:09.990
in time. I even got a little bit of breakfast

00:03:09.990 --> 00:03:12.729
from McDonald's first. Wow, look at you go. Good

00:03:12.729 --> 00:03:16.090
for you. Lionel Messi becomes the highest goal

00:03:16.090 --> 00:03:19.879
scorer in Men's World Cup history. Moving up

00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:24.340
to 17 breaking a tie Moving up to 17. It says

00:03:24.340 --> 00:03:27.539
right here. Okay, I'll be wrong. Oh So maybe

00:03:27.539 --> 00:03:29.479
it was that he only had one goal, right two goals.

00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.900
Okay, so then he's up to eight now total Yeah,

00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.139
he broke it with 17. Okay. Yeah that lines up

00:03:35.139 --> 00:03:37.699
He's now scored in six consecutive World Cup

00:03:37.699 --> 00:03:41.750
games since 2022 He could have had three he actually

00:03:41.750 --> 00:03:43.569
missed a penalty within the first ten minutes

00:03:43.569 --> 00:03:45.750
of the game Which everybody was like, oh here

00:03:45.750 --> 00:03:47.949
it is the big moment where best he's gonna overtake

00:03:47.949 --> 00:03:49.990
and then he misses it It just shows he's he's

00:03:49.990 --> 00:03:53.030
human But he almost had three goals after scoring

00:03:53.030 --> 00:03:54.930
three goals in his first match, right? I mean,

00:03:54.990 --> 00:03:57.030
this is an unbelievable run that he's going on

00:03:57.030 --> 00:03:59.849
and he's already setting himself up to be the

00:03:59.849 --> 00:04:01.810
golden boot winner Come on. This is his last

00:04:01.810 --> 00:04:04.090
one though, isn't it? It has we thought last

00:04:04.090 --> 00:04:08.139
time Well, I know but he'll be what 40 years

00:04:08.139 --> 00:04:11.919
old he's turning 39 in this book up 43 years

00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.580
old. There's no way I Wouldn't put it past him.

00:04:15.580 --> 00:04:18.180
Okay. The reason why though is because his game.

00:04:18.459 --> 00:04:20.579
He's he's one of those guys He's like Kobe when

00:04:20.579 --> 00:04:23.019
Kobe learned how to do the post -up and bait

00:04:23.019 --> 00:04:25.100
away and just change his game like he's done

00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:27.300
that where he doesn't have to Have the ball all

00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:29.120
the time and make an impact like you can just

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.579
get him the ball Every not like once in a while

00:04:31.579 --> 00:04:33.019
like you're kind of always gonna funnel it through

00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:34.920
him eventually But he doesn't need to run around

00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:36.319
with the ball all the time at this point like

00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.079
you can just get him the ball And he'll just

00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.339
make his magic happen. So I could see it's it's

00:04:40.339 --> 00:04:42.399
short spurts. So that's why I can see He's not

00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.439
like this endurance guy. He makes this magic

00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.899
happen. So I wouldn't be shocked I do think that

00:04:46.899 --> 00:04:48.579
this will be his last World Cup though, especially

00:04:48.579 --> 00:04:51.019
if he wins which that'd be two back -to -back

00:04:51.019 --> 00:04:54.079
then be crazy I'm telling you this other day.

00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:57.490
This is like to put into context for people LeBron

00:04:57.490 --> 00:05:00.209
level longevity with Michael Jordan level of

00:05:00.209 --> 00:05:02.110
winning. It's just what this is. I mean, he's

00:05:02.110 --> 00:05:04.089
38 years old He's still the best player in the

00:05:04.089 --> 00:05:06.209
world in a sport where if you're 30 years old

00:05:06.209 --> 00:05:08.189
That's it's kind of like running backs in the

00:05:08.189 --> 00:05:10.089
NFL. I'm here 30 years old. You're getting there.

00:05:10.089 --> 00:05:11.910
You're almost done I'm glad you related it back

00:05:11.910 --> 00:05:14.350
to things that somebody in this country can tell

00:05:14.350 --> 00:05:16.350
me I'm looking over at Vegas and his eyes are

00:05:16.350 --> 00:05:18.029
glazing over a little bit the longer you and

00:05:18.029 --> 00:05:20.089
deeper You talk about World Cup. I know I'll

00:05:20.089 --> 00:05:22.990
just I did You just can't get me started. I'm

00:05:22.990 --> 00:05:25.610
okay every four. Well, I had to though. I know

00:05:25.610 --> 00:05:27.990
it's history We always have to touch on history

00:05:27.990 --> 00:05:30.129
and it's not about what we want. It's about what?

00:05:30.089 --> 00:05:33.129
The fan base is gonna listen to and there's again

00:05:33.129 --> 00:05:35.370
We discussed this before the World Cup started

00:05:35.370 --> 00:05:38.509
every four years all of a sudden the American

00:05:38.509 --> 00:05:41.110
North America gets interested in soccer again

00:05:41.110 --> 00:05:44.589
a Football the beautiful game. We always will

00:05:44.589 --> 00:05:47.129
watch I love see English premiere stuff love

00:05:47.129 --> 00:05:50.259
it, but especially now it's on US soil We'll

00:05:50.259 --> 00:05:52.939
see the arc. Again, let's see how long MLS is

00:05:52.939 --> 00:05:55.279
going to be able to ride this. When it's done,

00:05:56.259 --> 00:05:58.439
and I think it's good. I think it's great for

00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.279
the game. Internationally, the stronger you get,

00:06:00.540 --> 00:06:02.519
if you have the U .S. bought in, the stronger

00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.459
you will get internationally. Well, and the stronger

00:06:04.459 --> 00:06:06.680
the U .S. team plays in this tournament as well,

00:06:06.699 --> 00:06:09.019
I think will help. And the fact that they have

00:06:09.019 --> 00:06:11.180
a star now. There's a guy that you can look to

00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:14.519
on the team and go, hey, flow. Balogon that's

00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:16.459
our guy like that's our guy that can be the star

00:06:16.459 --> 00:06:19.139
Did you hear the story about how Christian Pacific

00:06:19.139 --> 00:06:24.259
becomes a US citizen Balogon? No about how his

00:06:24.259 --> 00:06:26.959
apparently his mom. Yeah, that's Balogon Yeah,

00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.920
okay. Well such is great, but that was I don't

00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:31.519
kind of you were throwing something out there

00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.959
He's kind of blanked for a second was that couldn't

00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:35.779
get on a plane didn't want to travel back The

00:06:35.779 --> 00:06:38.740

is for but he was but he had but he was born

00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.360
in new york So by circumstance, yeah, he I don't

00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:47.879
know how much time he spent there crazy. That

00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.680
is Yeah happenstance that is all right So we'll

00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:52.899
talk about we'll talk about world cup as we go

00:06:52.899 --> 00:06:54.740

the top spot yet still but they advance So they

00:07:10.910 --> 00:07:12.870
the debate We thought I had misspoke and I said

00:07:14.389 --> 00:07:17.550

Katie Fiso news. I think we touched on this a

00:07:56.129 --> 00:07:58.589
bit. We'll talk about Katie here in a minute.

00:07:59.149 --> 00:08:03.529
Big news out of NCAA basketball. Now it hasn't

00:08:03.529 --> 00:08:06.329
been, I think it's been confirmed by enough people,

00:08:06.350 --> 00:08:10.990
don't you, that Dusty May is leaving after a

00:08:10.990 --> 00:08:13.389
NCAA championship with Michigan basketball, turning

00:08:13.389 --> 00:08:15.509
that program around in two quick years to a title

00:08:15.509 --> 00:08:18.730
in 2026. He's 49 years old. He's heading to the

00:08:18.730 --> 00:08:21.790
show. Going to the NBA, he's going to coach Cooper

00:08:21.790 --> 00:08:25.569
Flagg. Dallas Mavericks fired Jason Kidd after

00:08:25.569 --> 00:08:28.430
a 26 -56 season last year. They got rid of Nico

00:08:28.430 --> 00:08:31.389
Harrison earlier than that. And it's now Dusty

00:08:31.389 --> 00:08:34.289
May, who led Michigan to a 64 -13 record over

00:08:34.289 --> 00:08:37.169
two seasons in Ann Arbor. Before that, it was

00:08:37.169 --> 00:08:40.210
at Florida Atlantic. And now he's coaching into

00:08:40.210 --> 00:08:43.490
Big Shoe. I'm not sure about this. I mean, I

00:08:43.490 --> 00:08:46.129
hope he's making a ton of money. Oh, I'm sure

00:08:46.129 --> 00:08:49.360
he is. If Shams tweets it out... It's probably

00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.740
real. That's the first thing. The second thing

00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:54.200
is apparently they went after John Shire before

00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.779
they turned their attention to Dusty May. Isn't

00:08:56.779 --> 00:09:01.059
that interesting? Really? And he said no. And

00:09:01.059 --> 00:09:02.419
I always thought that was interesting whenever

00:09:02.419 --> 00:09:04.419
that stuff's reported. Like, how does Dusty May

00:09:04.419 --> 00:09:06.019
feel about that? Like, oh, I was their second

00:09:06.019 --> 00:09:08.120
choice. So I know it was kind of tongue in cheek.

00:09:08.139 --> 00:09:09.799
And you can dive in here any time you want, Vegas.

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:11.139
I mean, I'm not going to keep the microphone

00:09:11.139 --> 00:09:12.440
off for you. By the way, we're going to have

00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.799
good, bad, and ugly in just a few moments as

00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.450
well. And I want you to stay tuned. In the last

00:09:17.450 --> 00:09:19.870
part of the program, we've teased before, we've

00:09:19.870 --> 00:09:21.669
had big announcements, and they've been big announcements.

00:09:21.769 --> 00:09:25.830
This one is the biggest and most impactful announcement

00:09:25.830 --> 00:09:29.490
that's related to this radio program since we

00:09:29.490 --> 00:09:31.870
signed on the air almost two years ago. And that

00:09:31.870 --> 00:09:34.629
is no joke. So I'd like you to hang on to the

00:09:34.629 --> 00:09:36.090
end of the program, get all your friends, neighbors,

00:09:36.149 --> 00:09:37.990
the kids together, and gather around the radio

00:09:37.990 --> 00:09:41.070
or however you consume our show online or through

00:09:41.070 --> 00:09:43.950
Alexa or whatever it is. And we'll talk about

00:09:43.950 --> 00:09:45.649
that in the last segment. We're going to hug

00:09:45.649 --> 00:09:49.080
it out. So I kind of threw it out to you, baby

00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:50.539
Jane. I'll let you guys jump in. If you can think

00:09:50.539 --> 00:09:51.659
of one that jumps to the top of your head. When

00:09:51.659 --> 00:09:55.019
was the last college coach who was like Enfuego

00:09:55.019 --> 00:09:58.980
on fire that translated that to the NBA? Because

00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:02.100
I've got one. I've got one. OK, do you have one?

00:10:02.299 --> 00:10:04.580
Do you care? I think I have the same ones that

00:10:04.580 --> 00:10:07.179
probably we probably have. We'll go one, two,

00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:08.960
three and say the name at the same time. OK,

00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:14.330
one, two, three Brad Stevens. He said you said

00:10:14.330 --> 00:10:16.990
Brad Stevens. I said Brad Stevens. I think I

00:10:16.990 --> 00:10:19.429
think and I say this is a bulls fan I think our

00:10:19.429 --> 00:10:22.789
coach was better than we do So why Billy Donovan

00:10:22.789 --> 00:10:25.529
you think because I mean in terms of if you're

00:10:25.529 --> 00:10:27.450
so you can't be basing it off of a title because

00:10:27.450 --> 00:10:30.190
he Didn't win a title in the NBA yet, right?

00:10:30.370 --> 00:10:32.250
He has another job now because he's got Brad

00:10:32.250 --> 00:10:35.190
Stevens won a title though. He did as a at least

00:10:35.190 --> 00:10:41.659
as a general manager as a general No, but took

00:10:41.659 --> 00:10:43.860
it took his team to the final again. Yeah, but

00:10:43.860 --> 00:10:46.159
but Billy Donovan also won He won two championships

00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:49.820
and also took in the NBA I think it's fair to

00:10:49.820 --> 00:10:51.679
say that Billy Donovan. I know in college basketball

00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.639
Okay, no I say in ambulate and in the NBA what

00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.139
College Coast has translated to success in the

00:10:57.139 --> 00:10:59.720
NBA, right? Because my theory is is that while

00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.259
Dusty May did it? Incredibly you can't argue

00:11:02.259 --> 00:11:05.259
with the job. He did at Michigan Is it is it

00:11:05.259 --> 00:11:08.740
too quick? Is it too quick of a jump? to go from

00:11:08.740 --> 00:11:11.350
where you're at now because the other side of

00:11:11.350 --> 00:11:14.370
this is that college athletics become pros anyway

00:11:14.370 --> 00:11:16.029
so maybe he's just like you know what pay me

00:11:16.029 --> 00:11:19.230
more and i can i can really you know get into

00:11:19.230 --> 00:11:21.730
it with with these guys and teach them some things

00:11:21.730 --> 00:11:24.389
that maybe would translate to the program i just

00:11:24.389 --> 00:11:27.429
don't know i don't feel that whole the jump from

00:11:27.429 --> 00:11:29.490
college to the pros you can say the same thing

00:11:29.490 --> 00:11:32.669
in in college football name me except for pete

00:11:32.669 --> 00:11:34.889
carolin took them three times before they won

00:11:34.889 --> 00:11:38.820
a super bowl You know? Yeah. Tell me, I mean,

00:11:39.059 --> 00:11:41.259
I'm throwing it out there asking the question.

00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:44.899
I mean, I'm with you on that. I don't like the

00:11:44.899 --> 00:11:47.419
move personally. I also, it rubs me the wrong

00:11:47.419 --> 00:11:50.059
way. I really like Dusty May. I kind of don't

00:11:50.059 --> 00:11:51.620
like him as much anymore. I thought I really

00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:53.639
valued his coaching style and there's something

00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:55.480
kind of wrong to me about when you're recruiting

00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:57.980
players to come play for you and then all of

00:11:57.980 --> 00:12:00.820
a sudden it's almost July. And you're leaving

00:12:00.820 --> 00:12:02.539
them. Yeah, that's tough. I mean, they're in

00:12:02.539 --> 00:12:04.100
off season workouts right now. They're getting

00:12:04.100 --> 00:12:05.700
ready and the season is going to be honest before

00:12:05.700 --> 00:12:08.100
you know it. Baby J, what do you think of this

00:12:08.100 --> 00:12:11.039
whole thing? So I whatever I think about the

00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.120
transition from college to the pro in either

00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.620
football or basketball, my question is always

00:12:15.620 --> 00:12:19.139
what's the thing that makes them a good pro coach?

00:12:19.389 --> 00:12:21.490
Because a lot of times what I think makes a good

00:12:21.490 --> 00:12:23.970
college coach is somebody that knows how to recruit

00:12:23.970 --> 00:12:25.830
and someone else that relates to the players

00:12:25.830 --> 00:12:28.710
and be like a leader. But I think in the pros,

00:12:28.929 --> 00:12:30.929
it's different. You're talking about kids. You're

00:12:30.929 --> 00:12:32.970
not talking to kids in the pros. You're talking

00:12:32.970 --> 00:12:35.149
about almost every single player on your rosters

00:12:35.149 --> 00:12:38.549
making more money than you. 100 percent. And

00:12:38.549 --> 00:12:41.389
so I think that if you look at the history of

00:12:41.389 --> 00:12:44.200
the NBA. couple other guys we missed layer Brown

00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:47.679
the only guy to ever win an NCA title and a NBA

00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:49.799
title he did that know for with the Pistons and

00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:52.179
With Kansas in the national championship game

00:12:52.179 --> 00:12:55.740
in nineteen as a player. No as a coach as a coach

00:12:55.740 --> 00:12:59.480
Yeah, so he's he's he's done Both as a coach.

00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:01.519
That's right. Yeah, Larry Brown. Okay, that's

00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.620
a good one Yeah, I should have thought about

00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:06.399
and then he had like he changed jobs like he

00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:08.440
changed right? Well, he and he ultimately I don't

00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.559
know if he has a great reputation as a coach

00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:12.740
because of you know He had all this stuff with

00:13:12.740 --> 00:13:15.039
Allen Iverson and I don't know if he basically

00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:16.679
I think he had a lot of really good assistance

00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:19.779
That's fair. I don't think I'm gonna sit here

00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:21.019
and say he's one of the greatest coaches of all

00:13:21.019 --> 00:13:22.440
time or anything like that But he's a good example

00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.299
of a championship. That's made it work Yeah,

00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:26.340
I mean and then Fred Hoidberg is another maybe

00:13:26.340 --> 00:13:29.200
example of like not great guy that was really

00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.000
going to win something that one almost kind of

00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:32.879
made sense though because it was like he had

00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.860
his like system he had his I'm gonna bring in

00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:36.460
this system and so that's to me whenever the

00:13:36.460 --> 00:13:39.080
question is like Chip Kelly didn't work because

00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.460
he just personally I don't think is meant to

00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:44.789
be a head coach for pros but I could almost understand

00:13:44.789 --> 00:13:47.070
a coach like that more where it's like, oh, you're

00:13:47.070 --> 00:13:49.250
bringing in like a scheme or something like that

00:13:49.250 --> 00:13:51.669
versus like, oh, I'm just a really good guy plan.

00:13:51.889 --> 00:13:53.850
Yeah, we're going to make sure that you're consuming

00:13:53.850 --> 00:13:55.870
these many calories and you're going to be on

00:13:55.870 --> 00:13:57.889
this. I'm like a father figure to you. You know

00:13:57.889 --> 00:13:59.370
what I mean? Like, I just think that that's a

00:13:59.370 --> 00:14:01.190
different style of coaching. Yeah, absolutely.

00:14:01.190 --> 00:14:04.590
I agree. So it's just to me now. What does Michigan

00:14:04.590 --> 00:14:07.850
do? I mean, it's like, OK, I don't know. It's

00:14:07.850 --> 00:14:09.870
like you got your football coach. It's like football

00:14:09.870 --> 00:14:11.870
right now, too. I mean, I would say it happened

00:14:11.870 --> 00:14:15.789
a couple of years ago, but. How does a program

00:14:15.789 --> 00:14:17.809
that has won national championships in football

00:14:17.809 --> 00:14:21.370
and basketball seem like they're in such disarray?

00:14:23.210 --> 00:14:25.570
What people would say is because they do their

00:14:25.570 --> 00:14:27.690
deals with the devil basically I mean they did

00:14:27.690 --> 00:14:30.429
their deal with the devil in in football with

00:14:30.429 --> 00:14:33.120
prick their finger and blood With the scandal

00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.159
there and then I would say that a lot of people

00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:37.700
were not upset But looked at michigan as one

00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:39.120
of those teams in the transfer portal. I was

00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.460
like, okay. Yeah, this is like the epitome of

00:14:41.460 --> 00:14:44.059
These guys are just going for one year and they're

00:14:44.059 --> 00:14:46.759
basically pros. They're all in a certain age

00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:51.139
Like 24 years old. So I think people don't like

00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:54.759
michigan because the line between pro and College

00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:58.759
is now permanently blurred I agree and and that's

00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:00.279
probably why we're gonna see this happen more

00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:02.759
often Ready to be getting ready for the Super

00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.980
League. And by the way Mbappe just scored. It's

00:15:05.980 --> 00:15:08.039
France 1 -0. Oh, so he's right behind Messi now

00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:09.820
I think. Yeah, they're in a race right now. This

00:15:09.820 --> 00:15:11.340
is gonna be fun to watch the rest of the World

00:15:11.340 --> 00:15:13.740
Cup. We got the on -the -pitch teams themselves

00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:15.980
and then the individual and that was a great

00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:18.559
goal from outside the box with a left foot into

00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.440
the corner. Wow, that's, wow is right. All right,

00:15:21.460 --> 00:15:24.799
by the way, big bets this weekend. Hosted not

00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.320
too bad. Goose finished under 500, so did Lora,

00:15:28.460 --> 00:15:31.919
both two and three. Woody and de Jong the listeners

00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.480
went two and three baby J You and I went three

00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:37.299
and two you got you got the draw with the Belgium

00:15:37.299 --> 00:15:39.320
and Iran That was a good call. Thank you. I was

00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:40.940
happy to get at least one I was feeling good

00:15:40.940 --> 00:15:43.379
about Paraguay and did I call Paraguay in Turkey?

00:15:43.539 --> 00:15:45.179
It was like seeing that was gonna be a draw as

00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:47.399
well Yes, I didn't get that one. I felt really

00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.039
good about it, but it did not come to fruition

00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:53.320
as we'll talk about overall 31 and 29 on the

00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.080
season, baby J. I'm Even I'm back to five hundred

00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.980
now thirty and thirty you realize I was like

00:15:57.980 --> 00:16:00.200
seven games under five hundred Yeah, okay, so

00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.860
we've made some crazy runs. I've made yeah, so

00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:05.139
I'm back I'm only one game behind you goose now

00:16:05.139 --> 00:16:09.120
is sitting in third But if you're not first your

00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:11.860
last 28 and 32 so he's two games behind me three

00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:14.600
behind you so our strategy In my strategy for

00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.519
the games, I think worked Yeah, I think I baited

00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:20.559
him you're above five hundred. Well, yeah, although

00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.559
he did get Kansas City, right? I did get Kansas

00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:24.919
City, right? So it was I think that's like kind

00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.440
of a theme now is that we try to trick each other

00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:28.860
into picking against our own That's why I let

00:16:28.860 --> 00:16:31.159
you guys battle it out. You're in the octagon

00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.440
I am simply on the outside looking in by the

00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.639
way Steve listener Steve went four and one he

00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.740
won this week Only match he missed was Sweden

00:16:39.019 --> 00:16:41.500
He picked sweden or the netherlands so good for

coast special olympics and that's on behalf of

00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:05.720
our good friends at coquel casino and resort

00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:08.069
good bad and ugly let's get through this My good

00:17:08.069 --> 00:17:09.809
from the weekend. It's pretty obvious anytime

00:17:09.809 --> 00:17:13.569
you get a duck winning a major championship in

00:17:13.569 --> 00:17:15.730
any professional sport, you gotta say that's

00:17:15.730 --> 00:17:17.650
the good of the weekend, and it certainly was.

00:17:18.269 --> 00:17:21.009
So congratulations, Wyndham Clark, a two time

00:17:21.009 --> 00:17:24.769
now US Open champion. And man, did he grind that

00:17:24.769 --> 00:17:26.549
thing out? He was all over the place. He was

00:17:26.549 --> 00:17:29.349
playing Army golf right left right left. Couldn't

00:17:29.349 --> 00:17:34.369
find a fairway made clutch 910 12 foot par putts

00:17:34.369 --> 00:17:38.630
in a slick track at Shercooke. kills and that's

00:17:38.630 --> 00:17:40.329
my good for the weekend congratulations Wyndham

00:17:40.329 --> 00:17:42.990
Clark another us open championship congratulations

00:17:42.990 --> 00:17:45.349
to him and i think our good bad and uglies will

00:17:45.349 --> 00:17:47.390
show what we were paying attention to over the

00:17:47.390 --> 00:17:52.349
weekend mine was Lino Messi what a surprise he

00:17:52.349 --> 00:17:54.589
takes two goals today he almost has a third he

00:17:54.589 --> 00:17:56.710
misses a penalty but here he is he's the all

00:17:56.710 --> 00:17:59.089
-time leading goal scorer in world cup history

00:17:59.089 --> 00:18:01.839
continues his go case so I love watching Lionel

00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:03.579
Messi, I'll talk about him anytime I can. So

00:18:03.579 --> 00:18:06.640
I'm, and I'm on World Cup for my bad, okay? What

00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:09.579
is this thing with penalizing players and issuing

00:18:09.579 --> 00:18:11.059
yellow cards and putting their hands over their

00:18:11.059 --> 00:18:14.569
mouth? What is that all about? Yeah new rule

00:18:14.569 --> 00:18:17.329
apparently it is a new rule and just by muscle

00:18:17.329 --> 00:18:19.630
memory They've done that in the past and maybe

00:18:19.630 --> 00:18:21.329
what it is is what they're saying And I think

00:18:21.329 --> 00:18:22.869
that's what the interpretation is is that they

00:18:22.869 --> 00:18:24.509
could be swearing or saying something else to

00:18:24.509 --> 00:18:26.029
the official, right? And they're covering it

00:18:26.029 --> 00:18:27.710
up. So you got to have your hands down to your

00:18:27.710 --> 00:18:30.029
side at all times What kind of society are we

00:18:30.029 --> 00:18:32.410
living in right? So in a way, it's like okay.

00:18:32.410 --> 00:18:33.930
We want to make sure that people aren't saying

00:18:33.930 --> 00:18:37.049
bad things, but also I don't know, it's weird,

00:18:37.289 --> 00:18:39.809
right? That's silly to me. I think it's taking

00:18:39.809 --> 00:18:42.410
it too extreme, which is bad. My bad is gonna

00:18:42.410 --> 00:18:44.390
be... And they go right into your ugly. Okay,

00:18:44.609 --> 00:18:48.539
Simon... Adonagra. I didn't grow I don't know

00:18:48.539 --> 00:18:50.400
how to pronounce. He's not here He's from Ivory

00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:53.160
Coast who had an opportunity to beat Germany

00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:57.619
late in the 89th minute It was a 1 -1 tie and

00:18:57.619 --> 00:19:00.819
got a perfect ball across and just hesitated

00:19:00.819 --> 00:19:03.539
didn't one -time it took a couple extra dribbles

00:19:03.539 --> 00:19:06.279
and he missed the opportunity to score Germany

00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:08.599
comes down and scores right after that It was

00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:10.359
one of those it was one of those balls was like,

00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:12.339
ah, like what are you doing? Just shoot it man

00:19:12.339 --> 00:19:16.759
that you had a goal And then my ugly, you know,

00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:19.380
not all games, not all 1 -0 games are created

00:19:19.380 --> 00:19:22.420
equal. So my last one is also a World Cup. Turkey

00:19:22.420 --> 00:19:25.039
and Paraguay was one of the worst matches I've

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:28.380
ever seen. It was three, sorry, third minute

00:19:28.380 --> 00:19:31.299
goal scored. It was 1 -0. And then Paraguay loses

00:19:31.299 --> 00:19:34.180
a man about, I don't know, 30 minutes in, and

00:19:34.180 --> 00:19:37.079
they spent about 60 minutes of the game packed.

00:19:37.390 --> 00:19:40.430
in the box, not letting Turkey do anything, but

00:19:40.430 --> 00:19:42.950
it was so boring to watch. There was no scoring

00:19:42.950 --> 00:19:44.549
opportunities. Not making a case for watching

00:19:44.549 --> 00:19:46.130
the World Cup here, buddy. Listen, not every

00:19:46.130 --> 00:19:48.089
game is going to be exciting, just like in Major

00:19:48.089 --> 00:19:50.670
League Baseball, just like in the NFL. It's not

00:19:50.670 --> 00:19:52.630
all exciting. It was a dud. It was a dud, and

00:19:52.630 --> 00:19:54.150
it happened sometimes, but it was a particular

00:19:54.150 --> 00:19:56.430
dud. So that's the ugly. My ugly is going back

00:19:56.430 --> 00:20:00.190
to the U .S. Open. I thought the gentleman's

00:20:00.190 --> 00:20:03.710
game, golf, was a little bit more, you know,

00:20:04.210 --> 00:20:08.079
I don't want to say kind. The crowd? that was

00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:10.079
getting up into Wyndham Clark's face and cheering

00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:13.180
for so Scottie Scheffler, the People's Champion

00:20:13.180 --> 00:20:15.380
and Wyndham Clark were in the last pairing in

00:20:15.380 --> 00:20:18.799
the US Open. The fans, and I don't know what

00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:20.680
the affiliation with Scottie Scheffler is, he's

00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:23.880
not from New York area, New Jersey area, they

00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.099
were all up in Wyndham Clark's face. In fact,

00:20:26.660 --> 00:20:29.359
two fans had to be removed from the premises

00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:31.440
because they were getting so much into Wyndham

00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:34.700
Clark's face. It was audible. The cheers were

00:20:34.700 --> 00:20:37.940
muted when Wyndham Clark made a big run and were...

00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:40.640
out of their minds for Scottie Scheffler get

00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:43.279
a little bit stand behind a champion the guy

00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:45.940
just won something that very few people have

00:20:45.940 --> 00:20:48.660
done and especially a repeat winner in the US

00:20:48.660 --> 00:20:51.119
Open do better do better fans that's all I'll

00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:52.930
say All right, here's our good bad and the ugly.

00:20:53.049 --> 00:20:55.309
All right, we're gonna race aside here. Mark

00:20:55.309 --> 00:20:57.750
Garland from the college baseball show is in

00:20:57.750 --> 00:20:59.910

title game. That's what we wanted. That's what

00:21:12.089 --> 00:21:13.849
we wanted. We'll talk about it with Mark next.

00:21:13.930 --> 00:21:15.930

00:22:18.950 --> 00:22:21.390
The Gritty Show on Dirt has always been electric.

00:22:22.190 --> 00:22:24.029
But we were talking off air before we got on

00:22:24.029 --> 00:22:25.630
there, so I wanted to talk about it. First, welcome

00:22:25.630 --> 00:22:28.529
to the program. Yeah, happy to be here. Love

00:22:28.529 --> 00:22:30.190
coming on the show, guys. Love what you guys

00:22:30.190 --> 00:22:32.150
do and love being able to promote the game of

00:22:32.150 --> 00:22:35.529
college baseball. That a boy. So the crowds can

00:22:35.529 --> 00:22:38.630
sometimes for the first day be, I mean, good,

00:22:39.089 --> 00:22:41.660
but not like the way it gets crazy. Especially

00:22:41.660 --> 00:22:43.779
when you get teams from certain regions that

00:22:43.779 --> 00:22:45.920
come up, you know, like from the SEC You know,

00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.240
they travel well wherever they go and they can

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.180
be quite vociferous But so tell us what the atmosphere

00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:56.670
like from the jump in, Omaha Man, yeah, usually

00:22:56.670 --> 00:22:58.890
that first game on Friday that Friday afternoon

00:22:58.890 --> 00:23:00.970
game is really pretty slow It's kind of a slow

00:23:00.970 --> 00:23:03.829
start fans are still trickling in and not all

00:23:03.829 --> 00:23:06.549
eight fan bases are there yet usually but I gotta

00:23:06.549 --> 00:23:09.890
say Usually it's about 15 ,000 people 14 ,000

00:23:09.890 --> 00:23:12.250
that first game. There was 25 ,000 people there

00:23:12.250 --> 00:23:16.069
was 7 ,000 more people than the entire city of

00:23:16.069 --> 00:23:22.069
Troy, Alabama and that was wild yeah, and it's

00:23:22.069 --> 00:23:25.759
been a great World series and it's kind of climaxed

00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:27.500
here at the game three which is of course unless

00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:30.000
you're a fan of one of these two teams What we

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.559
are all looking for, of course and you know coming

00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:36.180
down to a game three Oklahoma man, I mean it's

00:23:36.180 --> 00:23:37.980
not a program. I would have expected to be in

00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:39.700
this game I mean you'd be a huge surprise if

00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:42.329
they won this thing wouldn't it? Oh, it'd be

00:23:42.329 --> 00:23:44.150
a massive, I mean, this was a team that was three

00:23:44.150 --> 00:23:46.410
and seven in May. So like usually sometimes teams

00:23:46.410 --> 00:23:48.529
get hot at this time. That was not a team that

00:23:48.529 --> 00:23:50.049
was hot. They were playing their worst baseball

00:23:50.049 --> 00:23:51.309
at the end of the season. They just figured it

00:23:51.309 --> 00:23:54.269
out. Skip Johnson, tremendous coach, tremendous

00:23:54.269 --> 00:23:56.150
guy. I love what he's doing with that program,

00:23:56.210 --> 00:23:57.509
but it would be a shock. It would definitely

00:23:57.509 --> 00:23:59.569
be a shock. North Carolina, I think a lot of

00:23:59.569 --> 00:24:01.329
folks had them in this position once the brackets

00:24:01.329 --> 00:24:04.210
came out, but Oklahoma was the surprise of the

00:24:04.210 --> 00:24:06.869
entire tournament. So how has Oklahoma done this?

00:24:08.120 --> 00:24:10.779
Oh, pitching and defense. Honestly, like this

00:24:10.779 --> 00:24:12.220
is the team that showed up. Their pitching was

00:24:12.220 --> 00:24:14.000
not great. They made a complete change of their

00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.759
weekend rotation. They went to three true freshmen

00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:18.319
and said, hey, we're going to give you guys the

00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:20.400
ball. Go get us some wins. And they've done it.

00:24:20.619 --> 00:24:22.420
Like it feels like the moment has not been too

00:24:22.420 --> 00:24:25.000
big for these three freshmen, where a lot of

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:26.700
times you put these guys in, in these big situations,

00:24:26.779 --> 00:24:28.299
they kind of crumble or they have some stumbles.

00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:30.460
These guys haven't done it. And now we're seeing

00:24:30.460 --> 00:24:32.720
the fruits of all the labor. They're going to

00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:34.829
say, hey, three freshmen turn the ball over,

00:24:34.829 --> 00:24:36.509
and then they played really good defense. This

00:24:36.509 --> 00:24:39.049
team has fielded like 980 down the stretch here,

00:24:39.390 --> 00:24:41.490
975 on the field, like ridiculous fielding. They

00:24:41.490 --> 00:24:43.250
don't make errors, they don't make mistakes,

00:24:43.309 --> 00:24:44.970
and they put a lot of pressures on defense. They

00:24:44.970 --> 00:24:46.549
steal a ton of bases, which is something that

00:24:46.549 --> 00:24:48.329
we just don't see a lot in the college game anymore.

00:24:48.990 --> 00:24:51.369
And, of course, game three is going to be all

00:24:51.369 --> 00:24:53.029
hands on deck, but I always think it's interesting

00:24:53.029 --> 00:24:55.450
looking at the bullpens coming into these games.

00:24:55.930 --> 00:24:57.710
Oklahoma, I think they used, let's see here,

00:24:57.730 --> 00:24:59.809
one, two, three, four, five, like six guys yesterday,

00:25:00.029 --> 00:25:02.269
six or seven guys. North Carolina used their

00:25:02.269 --> 00:25:04.450
guy Glauber, and obviously he came through with

00:25:04.450 --> 00:25:06.329
five innings and no earned runs there, eight

00:25:06.329 --> 00:25:08.329
strikeouts. Who do you think has that advantage

00:25:08.329 --> 00:25:10.109
right now? Is it North Carolina and the bullpen

00:25:10.109 --> 00:25:12.910
coming in tonight? I think it's still North Carolina's

00:25:12.910 --> 00:25:15.170
bullpen because I talked to Forbes and he's gonna,

00:25:15.390 --> 00:25:17.509
he said he'll use Glaber if he has to tonight.

00:25:17.630 --> 00:25:19.529
Like if they're in that situation, he can go

00:25:19.529 --> 00:25:22.809
to him again. Maximum about 50 pitches, so maybe

00:25:22.809 --> 00:25:24.970
two max innings. I'd see more like a one inning

00:25:24.970 --> 00:25:26.690
thing, but they still can turn the ball over

00:25:26.690 --> 00:25:28.910
to Walker McDuffie. He was a fantastic bullpen

00:25:28.910 --> 00:25:31.170
piece where he's had his ups and downs as of

00:25:31.170 --> 00:25:33.069
late. The guy is still tremendous and I think

00:25:33.069 --> 00:25:35.299
he'd give them the edge there, but. flip side

00:25:35.299 --> 00:25:37.500
of that, Oklahoma's L .J. Mercurius has been

00:25:37.500 --> 00:25:39.240
really, really good since they switched into

00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:40.900
the bullpen out of that starting rotation. They

00:25:40.900 --> 00:25:42.740
moved him from there, gave him the bullpen arm,

00:25:42.740 --> 00:25:44.539
and he gets to go out there and throw 100 % for

00:25:44.539 --> 00:25:46.299
about four or five innings, which has just changed

00:25:46.299 --> 00:25:49.640
his game. So I still lean North Carolina's bullpen.

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:51.940
But I do like that LJ is the one who's going

00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:53.720
to be coming out of the bullpen there for Oklahoma.

00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:56.480
The Men's College World Series wraps up tonight.

00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:59.079
4 p .m. here on the left coast, North Carolina,

00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:02.400
Oklahoma. Winner take all game in Omaha at Charles

00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:04.940
Schwab Field. And we're joined by the always

00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:08.900
eloquent Mark Garland from C Baseball 365 on

00:26:08.900 --> 00:26:10.940
the old Twitter handle from the college baseball

00:26:10.940 --> 00:26:15.339
show. You can follow, like and subscribe at collegebaseball365

00:26:15.339 --> 00:26:18.640
.com. So I was reading some of the articles and

00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:21.609
it didn't until I started getting a little bit

00:26:21.609 --> 00:26:25.230
deeper into this. The College World Series normally

00:26:25.230 --> 00:26:28.529
starts around Father's Day weekend, but this

00:26:28.529 --> 00:26:31.089
year it ends because they moved it up a weekend.

00:26:31.849 --> 00:26:34.650
So, I mean, Father, Son, you know, go out and

00:26:34.650 --> 00:26:36.309
have a catch and everything else. There's a lot

00:26:36.309 --> 00:26:39.529
of great parallels to what's going on here, but

00:26:39.529 --> 00:26:41.849
none are better than what's going on at North

00:26:41.849 --> 00:26:43.450
Carolina. Can you speak to that a little bit

00:26:43.450 --> 00:26:45.430
for the people that might not know the storylines

00:26:45.430 --> 00:26:47.289
that go on with North Carolina and their team?

00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:50.740
Yeah, I mean I think the biggest thing is like

00:26:50.740 --> 00:26:53.160
Eric Paulson whose dad wanted him to transfer

00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:55.099
and wanted to be a Tar Heel and passed away this

00:26:55.099 --> 00:26:57.440
offseason and He's been able to be there and

00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:59.259
be a part of this and then Scott Forbes has kind

00:26:59.259 --> 00:27:00.680
of known that the whole time He's gonna have

00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.160
to take over kind of his father figure and it's

00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:05.740
been a big deal for him and then Eric Paulson

00:27:05.740 --> 00:27:08.140
Tremendous hitter tremendous player great young

00:27:08.140 --> 00:27:10.019
man there for North Carolina. Just meant a lot

00:27:10.019 --> 00:27:12.599
and then On the other side of it, Jackson Willis,

00:27:12.660 --> 00:27:14.839
who's a ball player for Oklahoma, is a first

00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:17.440
-time father. So he had his kid at the game,

00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:19.000
which was pretty cool to see that on Father's

00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:21.380
Day, to see those two going back and forth in

00:27:21.380 --> 00:27:23.579
that ball game. It really just means a lot. A

00:27:23.579 --> 00:27:26.059
lot of people tie memories to their parents or

00:27:26.059 --> 00:27:28.680
their dad, especially in ball games. And I think

00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:30.259
a lot of us can look back and be like, man, that's

00:27:30.259 --> 00:27:31.859
a pretty cool thing to be able to celebrate dads

00:27:31.859 --> 00:27:34.579
on Father's Day. So with this game coming up

00:27:34.579 --> 00:27:36.400
and you talked a little bit about some of the

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:39.380
matchups, is there too much to be said about

00:27:39.380 --> 00:27:41.539
teams that might have momentum? And if you think

00:27:41.539 --> 00:27:43.859
one team or another does, because it seems like

00:27:43.859 --> 00:27:46.680
it's a toss up. Oklahoma takes down North Carolina

00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:48.799
in the first game by almost the identical score

00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:51.720
that North Carolina comes back and bests Oklahoma

00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:54.339
in game two. So I mean, is this really a coin

00:27:54.339 --> 00:27:57.450
flip game? It's as close to a coin flip game

00:27:57.450 --> 00:27:59.029
that I've seen in the championship series in

00:27:59.029 --> 00:28:01.930
a very long time Like this feels like two very

00:28:01.930 --> 00:28:03.509
even teams and I wouldn't have said that two

00:28:03.509 --> 00:28:05.710
weeks ago These two teams are playing very good

00:28:05.710 --> 00:28:07.009
baseball. They're playing their best baseball

00:28:07.009 --> 00:28:09.230
at the right time They both have a lot of pitching.

00:28:09.289 --> 00:28:11.369
They both have a lot of defense I think it's

00:28:11.369 --> 00:28:13.470
gonna come down to who can get on the board first

00:28:13.470 --> 00:28:15.670
what team can kind of strike first and get that

00:28:15.670 --> 00:28:17.849
momentum on their side because Going into it.

00:28:17.849 --> 00:28:19.670
They're gonna be equal momentum wise and the

00:28:19.670 --> 00:28:22.630
fan base is split about 50 -50 there, too So

00:28:22.630 --> 00:28:24.930
also I want to talk about adrenaline because

00:28:24.930 --> 00:28:26.750
it's going to come into play, especially if teams

00:28:26.750 --> 00:28:28.410
have to go deep in their bullpen. And I know

00:28:28.410 --> 00:28:31.029
we've had some classic games at Charles Squab

00:28:31.029 --> 00:28:34.109
Field Rosenblatt Stadium with the College World

00:28:34.109 --> 00:28:37.849
Series in years past, but this year it all comes

00:28:37.849 --> 00:28:40.569
down to one game. As Justin said, you know, there's

00:28:40.569 --> 00:28:42.730
no tomorrow. You don't have to worry about, you

00:28:42.730 --> 00:28:45.390
know, hurting yourself or you always have to

00:28:45.390 --> 00:28:46.490
worry about hurting yourself. I'm going to take

00:28:46.490 --> 00:28:47.730
that back. You don't have to worry about trying

00:28:47.730 --> 00:28:50.630
to get your recovery faster for tomorrow. So

00:28:50.630 --> 00:28:54.000
what strategy? think changes for both managers

00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:56.759
in those dugouts when you have that type of,

00:28:57.099 --> 00:28:59.359
I know this is it. I got to lay everything out.

00:28:59.420 --> 00:29:02.660
Does it change? I think it changes more for North

00:29:02.660 --> 00:29:04.759
Carolina in the fact where they could even turn

00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:06.900
to Lynch, who came out of the game yesterday

00:29:06.900 --> 00:29:08.420
with the injury and the oblique. It turns out

00:29:08.420 --> 00:29:10.980
it was just some cramps due to dehydration. They

00:29:10.980 --> 00:29:12.640
got him hydrated back up. They say he's good

00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:14.700
to go maybe for an inning. Even like a Jason

00:29:14.700 --> 00:29:16.940
Decaro could go for an inning. I don't know if

00:29:16.940 --> 00:29:19.220
he'd get Kord Rager to go for Oklahoma because

00:29:19.220 --> 00:29:22.119
he threw so much in game one for Oklahoma and

00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:24.599
he's not used to that much work. But I think

00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:26.160
that it just kind of opens up the door to where

00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:27.980
anybody can go an inning. Like if you need an

00:29:27.980 --> 00:29:30.240
inning from somebody, Everybody's all hands on

00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:31.779
deck everybody's ready to go that adrenaline

00:29:31.779 --> 00:29:33.460
is pumping especially for these young guys where

00:29:33.460 --> 00:29:35.619
it's like This might be their last opportunity

00:29:35.619 --> 00:29:37.640
to throw in a college games guys like a Jackson

00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:39.559
Cleveland where he's been at four schools in

00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:41.839
five years This is his last opportunity to pitch

00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:43.799
and you might see him go a little bit harder

00:29:43.799 --> 00:29:45.099
and a little bit more than he would normally

00:29:45.450 --> 00:29:47.329
One thing that's fascinating about this Oklahoma

00:29:47.329 --> 00:29:49.470
team is just their offense has been awesome I

00:29:49.470 --> 00:29:51.509
think I saw something like in their 11 postseason

00:29:51.509 --> 00:29:53.609
games They scored eight runs and all but two

00:29:53.609 --> 00:29:55.630
or three of those games and they've really turned

00:29:55.630 --> 00:29:57.230
it on over the last part of the season Like you

00:29:57.230 --> 00:29:59.569
said didn't start off great But who's the guy

00:29:59.569 --> 00:30:01.509
in their lineup right now that if you're North

00:30:01.509 --> 00:30:04.529
Carolina and the bases are loaded You don't want

00:30:04.529 --> 00:30:07.920
to see that guy up Dating the chance the junior

00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:10.779
college transfer like this catchers six foot

00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:13.380
six He can make any mistake pitch leave the yard

00:30:13.380 --> 00:30:15.539
in a big ballpark that we're talking about Charles

00:30:15.539 --> 00:30:17.880
Schwab like it's a big ballpark He's made it

00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:20.500
look small this week And he's one guy that you

00:30:20.500 --> 00:30:22.119
don't want to be facing because he can hit it

00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:23.559
out the breaking ball We've seen him hit out

00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:25.839
changeups and curve balls But he gets on top

00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:27.960
of 97 mile an hour fastballs and sends them the

00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:30.329
other direction real real hard Becoming a good

00:30:30.329 --> 00:30:32.009
friend of the program here, Danny and Justin

00:30:32.009 --> 00:30:33.809
live from the Bigfoot Beverages Studios, Fox

00:30:33.809 --> 00:30:36.009
Sports Eugene, Fox Sports Newport, as we're discussing

00:30:36.009 --> 00:30:39.390
the College World Series final game in Omaha

00:30:39.390 --> 00:30:41.329
as he coverage college baseball for the college

00:30:41.329 --> 00:30:43.549
baseball show. It's Mark Garland joining us back

00:30:43.549 --> 00:30:46.910
home in central Oregon. He was in Omaha earlier

00:30:46.910 --> 00:30:50.390
this week and I know weather comes into play.

00:30:50.410 --> 00:30:52.789
I used to live in the Midwest High Plains so

00:30:52.789 --> 00:30:55.269
it can turn on a dime, but it seems like the

00:30:55.269 --> 00:30:56.809
weather has been pretty good. But one thing that's

00:30:56.809 --> 00:30:58.910
curious to me is that there's quote unquote an

00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:02.819
heat warning in Omaha right now, but I'm looking

00:31:02.819 --> 00:31:05.799
at the temperatures and it's like 7779 degrees.

00:31:06.339 --> 00:31:08.259
Is that considered excessive heat with a humidity

00:31:08.259 --> 00:31:12.799
at 52 % mark? Honestly, for these guys, no. And

00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:14.599
even myself, who's up here from the Northwest,

00:31:14.819 --> 00:31:16.420
right? Like, it wasn't that bad. Like, people

00:31:16.420 --> 00:31:18.519
say, hey, it's hot because of the humidity. On

00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:20.500
the field, it's not that bad. It really is not.

00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:22.559
There's a pretty good breeze going most nights,

00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:24.440
so you don't feel it as much. I think that they

00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:26.640
were more concerned about the dehydration issues

00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:28.839
for the fan bases and folks that were at the

00:31:28.839 --> 00:31:31.119
ballgame because of the high humidity levels

00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:33.319
that the folks might not be used to. But last

00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:35.299
year, we had temperatures up to 100 degrees.

00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:38.819
That was hot. This is just like a normal midwest

00:31:38.819 --> 00:31:42.359
summer. Well, I think maybe the hydration thing

00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:46.220
comes more what you're drinking rather than,

00:31:46.220 --> 00:31:48.980
you know, how hot it might be outside. I'm just

00:31:48.980 --> 00:31:51.619
guessing. I'm not sure. It could come into play.

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:54.920
So as we look forward again, and you broke it

00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:56.619
down very well for us, so I don't know if we

00:31:56.619 --> 00:31:58.519
want to talk too much more about, you know, matchups

00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:00.220
and such. I think we've kind of exhausted that

00:32:00.220 --> 00:32:04.380
line of questioning. Is the X factor, and is

00:32:04.380 --> 00:32:06.269
there an X Factor that you're going to be looking

00:32:06.269 --> 00:32:09.359
at in tonight's contest. I think it comes down

00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:11.259
to the two true freshman starters that we're

00:32:11.259 --> 00:32:13.200
going to see on the mound. Jackson Rose for North

00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.920
Carolina and Nick Wazlowski for Oklahoma. I think

00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:19.359
it depends on who comes out more like just ready

00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:22.279
to go. Like these two young men tremendous arms.

00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:24.319
I think that Jackson Rose has seen a lot more

00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:26.640
innings this year, given up a lot less home runs.

00:32:26.859 --> 00:32:28.200
I think that you're going to look at him and

00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:31.619
say, Hey, can this guy be that stability we need

00:32:31.619 --> 00:32:33.859
as a North Carolina fan? Whereas Wazlowski is

00:32:33.859 --> 00:32:35.480
kind of playing on house money. How long can

00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:37.819
they go for Oklahoma? How long can he go out

00:32:37.819 --> 00:32:39.579
there? I think that's the big difference here

00:32:39.579 --> 00:32:41.700
for X factors for me is which one of these young

00:32:41.700 --> 00:32:43.819
guys can last the longest without giving up that

00:32:43.819 --> 00:32:46.579
lead Crazy to have two freshmen out there and

00:32:46.579 --> 00:32:48.359
it's you know, it's great We know with one of

00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:50.740
these two programs is gonna win tonight Oklahoma

00:32:50.740 --> 00:32:53.960
hasn't won since 1994 of course a very good baseball

00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:56.099
program as is North Carolina who has never won

00:32:56.099 --> 00:32:58.680
a college World Series Does that mean it means

00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:00.240
a little bit more for North Carolina? I mean

00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:01.720
really for both of these teams. It feels like

00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:04.980
it'd be a huge deal It feels a little bit more

00:33:04.980 --> 00:33:06.880
for North Carolina. Honestly, being around them

00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:09.259
all the last 10 days and kind of just being around

00:33:09.259 --> 00:33:10.740
the locker room and being in the dugout with

00:33:10.740 --> 00:33:12.900
those guys, like, it feels like they kind of

00:33:12.900 --> 00:33:14.619
know that there's a little bit of history here

00:33:14.619 --> 00:33:17.460
with North Carolina. You know, back to back 0607

00:33:17.460 --> 00:33:19.700
championships, they lost to Oregon State. This

00:33:19.700 --> 00:33:22.440
team has had some really good teams get to Omaha

00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.059
and just stumbled when they got there. This team

00:33:25.059 --> 00:33:27.259
finally getting to a national championship team

00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:30.180
and only one title for the ACC in the last 68

00:33:30.180 --> 00:33:32.680
years, like, It feels like there's a little pressure

00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:35.440
on them to kind of perform as that ACC slash

00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.059
North Carolina team that kind of goes out and

00:33:37.059 --> 00:33:38.680
finally gets that title. Well, I know there's

00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:40.460
a lot of Oregon fans hoping that they get to

00:33:40.460 --> 00:33:42.359
make a trip back to Omaha next year, so we're

00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:44.079
going to give them a little travel advice now,

00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:46.279
because we always ask this on the Danny and Justin

00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:48.880
radio program. And Mark, we trust you. You're

00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:50.480
now in that inner circle. You're in the circle

00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:54.440
of trust. So tell us where in beef country in

00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:56.920
Omaha, Nebraska, do you go for the best steak?

00:33:57.859 --> 00:34:00.119
Listen. people are going to tell them the drover

00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:03.420
don't listen like this drover it's a fine steakhouse

00:34:03.420 --> 00:34:06.680
you want the real prize jewel it's garots go

00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:09.619
to garots the tremendous little steakhouse they

00:34:09.619 --> 00:34:11.260
have plenty of seating you don't even have to

00:34:11.260 --> 00:34:13.139
make reservations but if you do make a reservation

00:34:13.139 --> 00:34:16.019
you're in better shape go down there go get yourself

00:34:16.019 --> 00:34:18.659
a tremendous steak they're very reasonably priced

00:34:18.659 --> 00:34:22.269
get all the sides Personally, I get the lobster

00:34:22.269 --> 00:34:24.570
mac and cheese on the side because it's fantastic

00:34:24.570 --> 00:34:27.269
along with my steak. So if I get a T -bone and

00:34:27.269 --> 00:34:29.550
that I'm set really well for the week. So every

00:34:29.550 --> 00:34:31.150
time I hear someone talk about size, the only

00:34:31.150 --> 00:34:33.110
thing I can think of is Wolf of Wall Street and

00:34:33.110 --> 00:34:36.230
Rob Reiner coming in talking about $26 ,000 in

00:34:36.230 --> 00:34:38.329
sides. You're not going to spend that at Garots.

00:34:38.750 --> 00:34:41.469
So hey, buddy, we really appreciate I'm glad

00:34:41.469 --> 00:34:43.289
we got hooked up in the last part of the year.

00:34:43.289 --> 00:34:45.630
Thanks to Baby J for connecting us together.

00:34:46.449 --> 00:34:48.230
You're in the again, you're in the circle now.

00:34:48.230 --> 00:34:49.969
So we'll be leaning on you as we head into next

00:34:49.969 --> 00:34:51.829
baseball season as well. And in the off season,

00:34:52.190 --> 00:34:53.750
we're going to talk transfer portal with you

00:34:53.750 --> 00:34:56.849
when the window closes here in a few days. Sounds

00:34:56.849 --> 00:34:58.429
good. Yeah, call me up. We'll talk more about

00:34:58.429 --> 00:34:59.550
the transfer portal and everything that's going

00:34:59.550 --> 00:35:01.469
on there. All right, buddy. Thanks, Mark. Take

00:35:01.469 --> 00:35:03.570
care. Appreciate it, guys. Have a good one. There

00:35:03.570 --> 00:35:06.469
he goes, Mark Garland. 77 degrees in Omaha, Nebraska

00:35:06.469 --> 00:35:09.130
right now. It's warmer here than it is in Omaha,

00:35:09.289 --> 00:35:12.079
Nebraska. Yeah, and it's only about that. I'm

00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:13.980
when it said excessive heat I was I went straight

00:35:13.980 --> 00:35:16.780
to the humidity because I think I miss 80 % humidity

00:35:16.780 --> 00:35:18.920
with 77 Yeah, that that feels like you're in

00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:22.639
a sauna. It's 52 % humidity. So Come on. I thought

00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:25.119
they were a little tougher in Nebraska You know

00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:26.960
mark to get his nickname as well the next time

00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:29.519
we talk to him. Yes Oh, by the way, that's that's

00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:31.460
a great point because I'm changing the nickname

00:35:31.460 --> 00:35:36.000
for Chris Burkhardt They put me on the spot Vegas

00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:39.059
and I I actually I fumbled the ball I was at

00:35:39.059 --> 00:35:41.019
the two yard line and I fumbled it backwards

00:35:41.019 --> 00:35:44.840
so I'm gonna correct it I'm gonna correct it

00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:46.860
next and also the big announcement concerning

00:35:46.860 --> 00:35:49.099
the Danny and Justin radio program next here

00:35:49.099 --> 00:35:54.699
on Fox Sports Eugene Fox Sports Newport Is Giannis

00:35:54.699 --> 00:35:58.000
not gonna be a buck anymore before the NBA draft

00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:00.659
which is tomorrow night kind of sounds like it

00:36:01.420 --> 00:36:04.019
And it looks like the Celtics and the Heat are

00:36:04.019 --> 00:36:07.079
the finalists for the Buck Superstar. So it turned

00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:15.280
into... He's gone. He's gone. So... So if you

00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.380
are not following Shams right now, he better,

00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:20.460
because he's gonna have it first. Jalen Brown

00:36:20.460 --> 00:36:22.960
is supposed to be a big part of this, no matter

00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:26.519
what happens, according to Shams. Is that what

00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:29.940
you're reading as well, Baby J? I think the Blazers

00:36:29.940 --> 00:36:32.219
will be a part of it in some way. Well, I was

00:36:32.219 --> 00:36:34.239
talking about Jalen Brown being a part of it.

00:36:34.380 --> 00:36:37.440
Not necessarily Jalen Brown. I mean, could be.

00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:39.880
I think it's possible. I think that the Celtics

00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:42.480
seem to me to be the most likely destination

00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:45.320
for Giannis. Celtics are coming off a 56 and

00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:47.800
26 campaign number two seed in the Eastern Conference,

00:36:48.500 --> 00:36:51.199
despite playing most of the season without Jason

00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:54.960
Tatum. And the heat is that could that be their

00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:59.460
last significant piece that they need? No, I

00:36:59.460 --> 00:37:01.099
don't think I think they're gonna give away too

00:37:01.099 --> 00:37:03.159
much if whatever they have they're gonna have

00:37:03.159 --> 00:37:05.699
to give away and have a couple pieces left But

00:37:05.699 --> 00:37:07.420
that's the thing about trading for guy like Yanis.

00:37:07.500 --> 00:37:08.679
You're gonna have to give up so much You got

00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:11.300
to have enough left to win with him when you

00:37:11.300 --> 00:37:12.780
have them So I think it's time to bring in the

00:37:12.780 --> 00:37:15.440
mayor. So we're gonna throw up the bat signal

00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:18.719
and see if we can get Travis Demers on Tomorrow,

00:37:18.719 --> 00:37:21.900
you know right before the draft starts or Wednesday

00:37:21.900 --> 00:37:24.420
right after the draft Because I think we need

00:37:24.420 --> 00:37:26.300
somebody smarter. Well smarter than me one of

00:37:26.300 --> 00:37:30.190
my favorite quotes. Yes deadlines spur action

00:37:30.190 --> 00:37:32.869
Ever heard of that quote before now Andrew Brandt

00:37:32.869 --> 00:37:35.710
great follow on Twitter. He's an ex -packer Andrew

00:37:35.710 --> 00:37:39.730
Brandt. I know yeah, yeah ex -packer Yeah, that's

00:37:39.730 --> 00:37:42.690
his big saying it deadlines say it again deadlines

00:37:42.690 --> 00:37:45.489

00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:05.460

00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:11.119
League America's conference that starts this

00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:14.739
weekend June 27 through the July 3rd in Chile

00:38:14.739 --> 00:38:20.199
And she is joining other D1 athletes coached

00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:24.340
by Todd Muncie including Amari Barry McKenna

00:38:24.340 --> 00:38:28.579
Brackens Danny Carnegie and Tori McKinney She

00:38:28.579 --> 00:38:31.679
was also in May participating in the three on

00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:34.079
three developmental camp in Phoenix coming off

00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:36.940
a breakout sophomore campaign Leading ducks fifteen

00:38:36.940 --> 00:38:39.219
and a half points six point two assists earning

00:38:39.219 --> 00:38:41.800
her second team all big honor all Big Ten honors

00:38:41.800 --> 00:38:44.079
by the way one thing we didn't touch on with

00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:46.440
the whole dusty May if he does actually finalize

00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:49.940
that contract With Dallas in the NBA staying

00:38:49.940 --> 00:38:53.559
on college sports all of those players that he's

00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:55.739
got at Michigan right now They can all jump to

00:38:55.739 --> 00:38:59.199
the portal. You guys realize that now? And why

00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:01.320
wouldn't they? They came for Dusty May, right?

00:39:02.019 --> 00:39:04.380
So was there anybody that Oregon lost out on

00:39:04.380 --> 00:39:07.880
that went to Michigan? I don't think so. I don't

00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:09.659
think they're playing in the same pool. That's

00:39:09.659 --> 00:39:11.360
the problem. I think that's what people are worried

00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:13.460
about with Oregon. How much money is going to

00:39:13.460 --> 00:39:15.360
shake out in other pools right now? Everybody's

00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:17.219
got their lineup set, basically. They've already

00:39:17.219 --> 00:39:19.619
gone out and spent their money. This is definitely

00:39:19.619 --> 00:39:23.019
a... Came out of nowhere type of thing where

00:39:23.019 --> 00:39:25.659
it does change the trajectory of some some people's

00:39:25.659 --> 00:39:28.019
offseason And how crazy is that that we're talking

00:39:28.019 --> 00:39:30.579
about it like that not like well I like the coaching

00:39:30.579 --> 00:39:32.480
philosophy and I like the schooling roses fight

00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:35.340
Well, what what salary slot are you gonna get

00:39:35.340 --> 00:39:37.159
put into in college sports? That's normally what

00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:40.679
we talk about in the pros Yes, you can shake

00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:42.840
our head it's the it's the reality we can just

00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:45.619
shake our head we move on one last thing Put

00:39:45.619 --> 00:39:48.639
this one in the old news pile, Oregon lacrosse

00:39:48.639 --> 00:39:52.570
head coach Jess Drummond Last week added Sophie

00:39:52.570 --> 00:39:55.429
McLaughlin as an assistant coach. She comes from

00:39:55.429 --> 00:39:58.409
Keen, New Hampshire Bonus points for any listener

00:39:58.409 --> 00:40:00.250
who knows where Keen New Hampshire is without

00:40:00.250 --> 00:40:02.949
looking it up Brad probably does it in New Hampshire.

00:40:04.050 --> 00:40:06.929
It's Smart Alec that was my dad joke for the

00:40:06.929 --> 00:40:10.469
day I'll let you do that. I think you got a good

00:40:10.469 --> 00:40:12.989
one today. I do I've got it memorized It's not

00:40:12.989 --> 00:40:15.449
very long McLaughlin joins Oregon after spending

00:40:15.449 --> 00:40:18.449
the past five years with the 802 lacrosse club

00:40:18.699 --> 00:40:21.659
including three seasons a head coach from 2023

00:40:21.659 --> 00:40:25.699
through 25. She was a goalkeeper instructor and

00:40:25.699 --> 00:40:27.659
came from the University of Vermont where she

00:40:27.659 --> 00:40:31.380
coached from 2019 to 2024. So congratulations

00:40:31.380 --> 00:40:33.460
and welcome to Oregon all the way across. I mean,

00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:35.360
I don't know if you can go much further in the

00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:38.719
country from Keene, New Hampshire to Oregon.

00:40:39.789 --> 00:40:42.469
It's pretty far maybe Florida if we're I don't

00:40:42.469 --> 00:40:45.010
know how it's straight line like as a crow flies

00:40:45.010 --> 00:40:47.409
I'm not sure Eastern most point in the US is

00:40:47.409 --> 00:40:50.250
upwards in like Maine Delaware It's up in the

00:40:50.250 --> 00:40:52.469
eastern part of the seaboard not down south but

00:40:52.469 --> 00:40:54.150
up here in Oregon. We're up in you know I mean

00:40:54.150 --> 00:40:56.070
we're up in the northwest so maybe the southeast

00:40:56.070 --> 00:40:57.849
is the furthest is what I'm thinking I'd have

00:40:57.849 --> 00:41:00.789
to look at Washington State has the western most

00:41:00.789 --> 00:41:05.269
point in the US I believe Besides Alaska in the

00:41:05.269 --> 00:41:07.730
continental United States and besides Hawaii

00:41:09.859 --> 00:41:12.280
That's why we called them the Lower 48 when I

00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:14.679
was up in Alaska. Okay. All right kids, we're

00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:16.679
gonna take the last few minutes for a little,

00:41:17.340 --> 00:41:19.360
a little announcement here on the Danny and Justin

00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:21.199
radio program. Justin, when did you and I meet?

00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:25.679
We met in July of 2024. Has it been, has it been

00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:27.340
that long? It's probably, for you seems like

00:41:27.340 --> 00:41:30.539
a lot longer. It does. It has for me. Yes. So

00:41:30.539 --> 00:41:32.699
never knew you, never even knew what your name

00:41:32.699 --> 00:41:35.380
was, never knew how to pronounce it, and of course

00:41:35.380 --> 00:41:38.599
- Hard to do. The first - No, it wasn't hard

00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:42.639
to do I got it but and then immediately I the

00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:46.920
first time I met you You had your nickname you

00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:49.039
made you literally immediately said it said your

00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:52.960
baby J And I call him baby J more than I call

00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:56.539
him Justin And a lot of other people do as well

00:41:56.539 --> 00:41:58.440
and it's taken and I know you weren't and we

00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.820
actually had a listener Call in and say that

00:42:01.820 --> 00:42:04.519
I was like belittling justin and it was very

00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:06.739
sweet defending my honor It was very sweet. It

00:42:06.739 --> 00:42:09.260
wasn't the case. I appreciated it. Yeah, I hope

00:42:09.260 --> 00:42:12.039
you're still listening I'm sure they are we've

00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:13.579
uh grown the audience over the last couple of

00:42:13.579 --> 00:42:15.800
years It's hard to believe that we started the

00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:19.579
program in september Of 2024 and it's grown exponentially

00:42:19.579 --> 00:42:22.179
and the reason it's grown is because of you The

00:42:22.179 --> 00:42:23.920
people who listen we do this program because

00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:27.099
of you I mean, yes, we we drive the machine a

00:42:27.099 --> 00:42:29.059
little bit, but when we sit down and talk about

00:42:29.059 --> 00:42:31.739
what we want to talk about and we mix it up.

00:42:31.900 --> 00:42:34.260
Sometimes it's about life in general, and a lot

00:42:34.260 --> 00:42:36.099
of it's about life. You've heard about our lives,

00:42:36.260 --> 00:42:37.840
you've heard about our families, our animals,

00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:41.719
our love for food. our allegiances to pro teams

00:42:41.719 --> 00:42:45.739
and our likes and our dislikes, movies. We talk

00:42:45.739 --> 00:42:48.199
about life, because if we could do one thing

00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:50.300
in an hour for everyone, and I think you would

00:42:50.300 --> 00:42:53.039
agree with this, is that we want this to be a

00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:55.179
happy place. We want this to be an informative

00:42:55.179 --> 00:42:57.659
place. We want this to be a place where you can

00:42:57.659 --> 00:43:00.480
set aside whatever else you might be going through.

00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:03.460
And even if it's setting aside the water that

00:43:03.460 --> 00:43:05.579
you're carrying for an hour, that's one less

00:43:05.579 --> 00:43:07.559
hour you have to carry that water. And so maybe

00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:10.199
you can recharge your batteries. Yeah, entertain

00:43:10.199 --> 00:43:12.219
and inform. And we're always thinking about,

00:43:12.579 --> 00:43:13.880
like, what are you guys going to care about?

00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:15.440
Like, we have the stuff that we want to talk

00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:16.880
about. We want to talk about our lives and the

00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:18.199
things that we care about in sports. But it's

00:43:18.199 --> 00:43:20.000
always about, what is our audience going to care

00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:21.980
about? Right. And so that's where we drive the

00:43:21.980 --> 00:43:24.199
program. So if we've missed things at times where

00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:25.420
it's like, well, why aren't they talking about

00:43:25.420 --> 00:43:29.670
that more? Sorry, it's an hour and we so we try

00:43:29.670 --> 00:43:31.570
and do the best we can and that's one thing I

00:43:31.570 --> 00:43:34.170
regret about this show is that we weren't able

00:43:34.170 --> 00:43:37.329
to interact more with the audience on like a

00:43:37.329 --> 00:43:39.650
caller level like opening up the phones and getting

00:43:39.650 --> 00:43:41.769
you have to you have to keep doing that for people

00:43:41.769 --> 00:43:44.650
to get trained to do it and With an hour program.

00:43:44.710 --> 00:43:46.610
There was just never enough time to be able to

00:43:46.610 --> 00:43:49.250
do it They're just rarely unless we didn't have

00:43:49.250 --> 00:43:51.889
a guest and then we would blather on for an hour

00:43:51.889 --> 00:43:56.420
anyway, and then we've we've grown podcast YouTube

00:43:56.420 --> 00:43:59.260
channel getting out in the public, you know weekend

00:43:59.260 --> 00:44:03.719
Eve at the wood was great All of those things

00:44:03.719 --> 00:44:09.139
so I'm circling all the way back to this This

00:44:09.139 --> 00:44:11.900
for me as well has been kind of like a child

00:44:11.900 --> 00:44:15.780
I I did this full time for more years than you've

00:44:15.780 --> 00:44:17.599
been alive definitely more years than you've

00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:21.300
been alive blaze and So when I did this and I

00:44:21.300 --> 00:44:23.159
came back to doing this it was because of labor

00:44:23.159 --> 00:44:26.150
of love and I wanted to I think There was a part

00:44:26.150 --> 00:44:27.809
of me who wanted to prove to myself that I could

00:44:27.809 --> 00:44:30.110
still do it. I think there was that because I

00:44:30.110 --> 00:44:31.750
had been out of it for a little while, full -time,

00:44:31.789 --> 00:44:33.329
although I've been doing my play -by -play thing

00:44:33.329 --> 00:44:37.969
for 40 -plus years. And doing this is not as

00:44:37.969 --> 00:44:41.369
easy as you might think. It's not as easy as

00:44:41.369 --> 00:44:42.789
just sitting down and talking. And the people

00:44:42.789 --> 00:44:44.269
that are going to start to learn how to do this

00:44:44.269 --> 00:44:45.789
a little bit more, they're understanding that.

00:44:45.929 --> 00:44:48.809
It's not easy to be conversationalist. It's not

00:44:48.809 --> 00:44:53.329
easy to be serious, not serious. It's a balancing

00:44:53.329 --> 00:44:56.480
act. It's a juggling act. We've proven we can

00:44:56.480 --> 00:44:58.280
do it again and it's because of you and the feedback

00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:02.500
you give us and So it is bittersweet that I say

00:45:02.500 --> 00:45:10.699
that on July 3rd At 4 p .m. This will be the

00:45:10.699 --> 00:45:15.460
last Danny and Justin radio program There will

00:45:15.460 --> 00:45:20.260
be no more Heading into Independence Day Which

00:45:20.260 --> 00:45:23.719
I'm just thinking about right now You'll be free

00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:29.380
of us And I say that tongue in cheek because

00:45:29.380 --> 00:45:33.380
we have loved the interaction we've got to meet

00:45:33.380 --> 00:45:38.760
people that come up to us in the local pub. Brad,

00:45:39.980 --> 00:45:45.219
Steve, Graham, the other Steve, a third Steve.

00:45:48.280 --> 00:45:51.260
You become friends, you become family. And it's

00:45:51.260 --> 00:45:53.679
sad to say goodbye, but that's what's gonna happen.

00:45:54.049 --> 00:45:56.329
We'll be out at Hayward Field doing, well, I

00:45:56.329 --> 00:45:57.570
won't be at Hayward Field, I keep saying that.

00:45:57.610 --> 00:46:00.750
We'll be at the graduate on July 3rd from, we're

00:46:00.750 --> 00:46:02.389
gonna do a special edition of the Danny and Justin

00:46:02.389 --> 00:46:04.550
program from one to four. We're gonna have a

00:46:04.550 --> 00:46:06.329
ton of guests, ton of athletes that are gonna

00:46:06.329 --> 00:46:08.989
be participating in the pre. It is going, you

00:46:08.989 --> 00:46:10.670
want to talk about going out with a bang? We

00:46:10.670 --> 00:46:15.269
are gonna go out like a rocket ship. So, I'll

00:46:15.269 --> 00:46:18.070
leave it up. So, you knew this was coming. So,

00:46:18.090 --> 00:46:21.199
I mean, what are your thoughts? Like you said,

00:46:21.300 --> 00:46:24.699
all good things come to an end. And Danny and

00:46:24.699 --> 00:46:27.360
Justin has been one of my greatest honors to

00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:29.980
be a part of. I never thought I'd have a radio

00:46:29.980 --> 00:46:31.880
show with my name on it. Never cared, to be honest

00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:33.920
with you. I think it's great. I love being able

00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:35.599
to show people the billboard and say, look, here,

00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:38.340
I'm on the Danny and Justin radio program. But

00:46:38.340 --> 00:46:41.010
no, it's been a blast. And I think that... You've

00:46:41.010 --> 00:46:43.309
seen me grow a lot. I hope the audience has heard

00:46:43.309 --> 00:46:45.530
me grow a lot. I've seen you grow a lot in the

00:46:45.530 --> 00:46:47.110
time that you've been here Maybe you've seen

00:46:47.110 --> 00:46:50.030
that maybe you haven't the whole station is a

00:46:50.030 --> 00:46:52.650
hole It feels like we're growing and so, you

00:46:52.650 --> 00:46:55.590
know, it is it is bittersweet But I think there's

00:46:55.590 --> 00:46:57.489
a there's a lot of good things to come and I

00:46:57.489 --> 00:46:58.789
don't think people are gonna be disappointed

00:46:58.789 --> 00:47:03.750
Yeah But but just so you know and we we're gonna

00:47:03.750 --> 00:47:05.409
be talking about over the next couple of weeks

00:47:05.409 --> 00:47:07.210
because we're gonna give you an opportunity to

00:47:07.210 --> 00:47:10.730
Say hi to us and say goodbye to us as Danny Justin

00:47:10.730 --> 00:47:12.989
after July 3rd. That'll be our last program.

00:47:13.010 --> 00:47:17.449
So Friday July 3rd 1 to 4 from the Graduate Hotel,

00:47:17.469 --> 00:47:19.849
we will have our swan song here on Fox Sports

00:47:19.849 --> 00:47:22.949
Eugene of Fox Sports Newport. So I'm getting

00:47:22.949 --> 00:47:24.610
I'm ready for us to call it the Justin and Danny

00:47:24.610 --> 00:47:28.010
program Never big change. Never gonna happen.

00:47:28.809 --> 00:47:31.309
And I'm never gonna say that ever. You don't

00:47:31.309 --> 00:47:32.849
have to change all the imaging. You don't have

00:47:32.849 --> 00:47:34.849
to do all that work. I'm sure you'd do it though.

00:47:34.849 --> 00:47:36.250
All this is to say, it's gonna be the Justin

00:47:36.250 --> 00:47:39.429
and Danny show. I am sure you would do it. Okay,

00:47:39.530 --> 00:47:44.050
let's do dad joking. Oh, a joke! I got fired

00:47:44.050 --> 00:47:45.969
from the bank today. A woman asked me to check

00:47:45.969 --> 00:47:50.730
her balance, so I pushed her. Dad jokes! What

00:47:50.730 --> 00:47:53.980
do you call James Bond in a bathtub? You're called

00:47:53.980 --> 00:48:00.079
James Bond in a bathtub. Bubble07? No, you jerk.

00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:02.820
Did I get it? Yes. Yes! I think this is the first

00:48:02.820 --> 00:48:08.739
one! Let's go! I knew it! He slowly takes over

00:48:08.739 --> 00:48:11.739
the world. I feel like Steve Moons. Listen, tomorrow's

00:48:11.739 --> 00:48:13.579
probably going to be the Justin and Danny program.

00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:16.159
And then by the end of next week, my name's not

00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:18.340
even to be on the program at all. That's true.

00:48:18.340 --> 00:48:22.019
All right. That's a factual statement. Wow. Talk

00:48:22.019 --> 00:48:25.079
about going out on a high. Maybe I should say

00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:27.679
we're quitting the show earlier. That's it for

00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:31.679
me, guys. Just do a Costanza mic drop it. Boom.

00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:33.699
All right. We're gonna talk a lot of NBA draft

00:48:33.699 --> 00:48:35.679
tomorrow. We'll be talking about the college

00:48:35.679 --> 00:48:38.119
world series. If you missed the podcast, it'll

00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:40.559
be up because it's not yet. Mark Garland is going

00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:41.960
to be on there from the college baseball show.

00:48:41.960 --> 00:48:44.260
Go back and give that a listen. We've got a good

00:48:44.260 --> 00:48:47.719
stake place advice for you in Omaha and all of

00:48:47.719 --> 00:48:50.099
that. But until then, God bless. Put a smile

00:48:50.099 --> 00:48:52.059
on your face. Someone else's. They deserve it.

00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:56.280
So do you. For Blaze. For Justin. I'm Danny.

00:48:56.440 --> 00:48:57.780
God bless. Be well. Peace.
