Speaker C: Are you eating pudding?
Speaker B: Yup.
Speaker B: Wow.
Speaker B: Chocolate pudding.
Speaker C: Chocolate pudding.
Speaker A: All that British talk with Zach on the Beaver FAM focus.
Speaker A: And now you're eating pudding like a real limey b******.
Speaker A: And I didn't have have any meat.
Speaker A: I don't know.
Speaker A: I don't know where we go from here yet.
Speaker B: Do you guys remember the stunt in I think it was Jackass, where they did the dirty diaper stunt?
Speaker A: Probably saw it at some point.
Speaker B: They put chocolate pudding in a diaper and I roll up if it was used and throw in a trash can and have the old man Johnny knocked like big as a trash can.
Speaker B: I actually watch Jackass before.
Speaker B: I don't know what number it is.
Speaker B: Forever.
Speaker A: The new one?
Speaker B: Yes, the new one.
Speaker B: Forever.
Speaker B: Forever.
Speaker A: It's pretty good.
Speaker B: There's a lot of penises in it.
Speaker A: That's why I thought it's pretty good.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker C: I forgot how many were in two because I watched two the other day.
Speaker B: The s*** that they do is crazy.
Speaker A: My birthday was on a Wednesday.
Speaker A: It was when we did the color cast watch along when men's basketball played Cal, which started at 10:00 p.m..
Speaker A: Benny, dude, mute yourself when you get into snack mode.
Speaker B: How did you know it was so loud?
Speaker A: Whatever.
Speaker A: You were old fish goldfish.
Speaker B: Good choice.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker A: This is the 42nd episode of Belgian Peas.
Speaker A: Welcome to the 42nd episode of Belligerent Peas.
Speaker A: Benny still doesn't know how the mute button works or why it's there.
Speaker A: And will put his hand into, like, a giant thing of popcorn or goldfish or chocolate pudding, which you were just eating with your hands.
Speaker A: No, silverware.
Speaker A: That makes a ton of noise.
Speaker A: And you're like, what?
Speaker A: You guys could hear that?
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker A: You have a nice microphone in front of your face, Betty.
Speaker A: That it picks up sound.
Speaker A: That's what it does.
Speaker C: My chocolate pudding was not that loud.
Speaker B: No, that was quiet.
Speaker B: That was very silent.
Speaker B: I will give you credit.
Speaker A: There quiet food or put yourself on mute.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker A: It's be like, we all love wings, but we're not eating plates of wings going like, why not?
Speaker A: I would do that.
Speaker B: I would want to do that.
Speaker B: Can we do that?
Speaker A: We probably can.
Speaker B: Okay.
Speaker A: I don't know how, like, wings are a pretty squeaky food.
Speaker A: Ben's on mute and making a real show of it.
Speaker A: He's mad at me.
Speaker A: I'm sorry, Benny.
Speaker C: You know how loud that would have been if I wasn't on mute?
Speaker A: You shook that bag of goldfish pretty aggressively.
Speaker A: I wish our listeners could view that.
Speaker A: But we are here.
Speaker C: Not a podcast for you, right?
Speaker B: Not.
Speaker A: Not to listen to Ben eating goldfish.
Speaker B: That's our ASMR spin off.
Speaker A: Wow.
Speaker B: We're all about spin off slightly, by the way.
Speaker A: We have a lot of spinoffs.
Speaker A: First, we should start by saying Happy April Fools to everyone.
Speaker A: It is now April 4.
Speaker A: Monday, April 4.
Speaker A: We're recording this during the men's NCAA Championship game.
Speaker A: If you're a Kansas fan or a North Carolina fan.
Speaker A: I can't really wish you cheers either way because I just don't care what happens.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: I hope you have a fun night.
Speaker A: I hope everyone has a fun night all the time.
Speaker A: If you're in New Orleans, give my favorite city a big old hug for me.
Speaker C: I feel like something bananas is going to happen at the end of this game because I don't know if you guys remember the last time we were recording, but there was something specific that was bananas that happened at the end of us recording that episode.
Speaker C: Chris Rock getting slapped.
Speaker B: Oh, that's right.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: I don't want to talk about this.
Speaker B: We don't have to talk about it.
Speaker A: I'm just stating a point that it happened at the time we finished recording and we were like, sign off and Ben said, hey, guys, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars tonight.
Speaker A: And I was like, what?
Speaker A: We had a great conversation with Carter.
Speaker A: The beer was flowing and we were having a good time.
Speaker A: I would say, as the kids used to say before, they were not kids anymore, but I'd say that we were on one.
Speaker A: All of us.
Speaker B: We're on one.
Speaker A: And then the waning second Penny drops.
Speaker A: The Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars tonight, which just isn't a sentence you think you'll hear in your life.
Speaker C: And none of us had seen it.
Speaker A: We didn't see it live.
Speaker A: We were busy recording the 41st episode of the Blueprint Beef podcast.
Speaker A: I think we had as many people tune into that episode as people who tuned into the Oscars.
Speaker A: The Academy is a little close to the vest with engagement numbers, but I think we're about equal.
Speaker C: I would say so.
Speaker A: I'd say so, too.
Speaker B: I think you're right.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker B: We keep very close eye on our numbers, so whatever loose numbers they have, ours are better for sure.
Speaker A: It is a big night for basketball.
Speaker A: Kansas just scored the first bucket of the second half.
Speaker A: We're not going to do the live broadcasting thing, but it's 40 to 27 now in favor of North Carolina.
Speaker A: And we just talked a bunch of men's basketball with our friend Zach scores on the Beaver FAM.
Speaker A: Focus.
Speaker A: So let's not talk men's basketball on this episode because it's just going to be depressing.
Speaker B: Wait, you have delayed talking about men's basketball?
Speaker A: No, I haven't.
Speaker A: We've talked about it.
Speaker B: But you every time.
Speaker B: Do we have to talk about this?
Speaker B: Can we just not talk about this?
Speaker B: And that's okay, but can we maybe dive into what your personal reasoning is that you can't confront these demons of Beavers men's all about confronting demons of Beavers men's basketball.
Speaker A: I'm more towards shutting light and spreading love using the platform that we do have to uplift positivity and teams that deserve this moment, such as Oregon State softball, true Oregon State gymnastics.
Speaker B: Oregon, very true baseball.
Speaker A: Until just recently when the season ended.
Speaker A: Oregon State women's basketball.
Speaker A: It's not that I'm afraid of whatever.
Speaker B: But if the three of us don't be afraid.
Speaker A: Terry, have a 70 minutes podcast episode where we yell at each other about 70 to 90 minutes podcast episode where we just yell at each other about why or why not.
Speaker A: Wayne Tinkle should or shouldn't be fired.
Speaker A: We're not fulfilling the mission that Belligerent Beaves set out to fulfill.
Speaker C: I don't think we're arguing.
Speaker A: I think we're all we argue about.
Speaker B: If we're arguing.
Speaker A: This is a good argument.
Speaker A: This is what we do.
Speaker A: We do argue about whether or not we're arguing a lot.
Speaker A: It's like having a meeting about having a meeting.
Speaker A: This meeting.
Speaker A: That could have been a meeting.
Speaker A: Could have been an email that could have just been a DM.
Speaker A: I think this hasn't been in terms of since we started this podcast almost one year ago.
Speaker A: And we should talk about what the plans we have to commemorate one year of Belligerent Beaves being in the world.
Speaker A: We're very excited about it, but it hasn't been the winningest week since the last time we congregated as a podcast.
Speaker A: So I don't want to dwell on the negative.
Speaker A: I can't offer any new insights on what can fix Oregon State men's basketball.
Speaker A: So I just don't want to try.
Speaker A: And I think not trying is a form we can give.
Speaker A: Exactly.
Speaker A: In this instance.
Speaker A: Exactly.
Speaker A: There are times to get back up and to give it your all or whatever, but right now, we all know what's going to happen.
Speaker A: We know it's going to be a long off season and whatever, and here we are leading with men's basketball.
Speaker A: You totally baited me into this.
Speaker A: I wanted to bullshit about the NBA for a little bit, but anyways, that's why I'm not keen to talk men's basketball.
Speaker A: But we f****** can.
Speaker A: Can we give love to some of the other teams first?
Speaker A: Is that coolstate?
Speaker B: Basketball teams.
Speaker A: Team.
Speaker B: Can we just talk about last year's team again?
Speaker A: My idea was like, let's just pretend that those games last year were happening live, and then we just recap them like they had never not accept that.
Speaker A: That was 2021 and not 2022.
Speaker C: That would have been fun.
Speaker C: That would have made March Madness way more fun.
Speaker A: Yeah, we should have.
Speaker A: But anyway, big weekend for basketball.
Speaker A: The women's game last night in Minneapolis was dope, obviously.
Speaker A: I wish that Ruich and the Beef had been there, but South Carolina is super fun to watch, and I locked into some sweetheart free tickets right before the game started.
Speaker A: So being there was dope.
Speaker A: Nba is in full swing.
Speaker A: Swing, Benny, your Blazers not going to do it this year.
Speaker C: Well, they may get the number one draft pick.
Speaker C: It looks more promising every day.
Speaker A: Yes, as someone who has been doing that dance of looking at the NBA lottery machine on ESPN, which usually started on about January 3 of every year, I wish you the best of luck.
Speaker A: But what is good for the Blazers this year is you are at least not as embarrassing as a team that the three of us all hate.
Speaker A: Probably equally.
Speaker A: Los Angeles Lakers.
Speaker B: That's true.
Speaker A: So I will talk.
Speaker A: This doesn't technically count as menbaskel, but one cool thing cool Lakers adjacent thing right now is the show Winning Time on HBO.
Speaker A: Have you guys been watching Winning Time?
Speaker C: No, but it looks really good.
Speaker B: I did spot a rogue logo.
Speaker A: There is a rogue logo.
Speaker A: There is a rogue logo.
Speaker A: I'm not all the way caught up, but I'm close and I'm really enjoying it.
Speaker A: John C.
Speaker A: Reilly as Dr.
Speaker A: Jerry Bus is fantastic.
Speaker A: So check out Waiting Time on HBO if you haven't yet.
Speaker A: I was skeptical when I first found it.
Speaker A: They're going to do like, a dramatization of the Showtime Lakers with magic and cream and just how that team was built.
Speaker A: And I just didn't think it was going to work.
Speaker A: And like, five minutes into the first episode, I'm like, there's John C.
Speaker A: Reilly as Jerry Bus comparing basketball to sex.
Speaker A: And it's like, okay, they got me.
Speaker B: I've heard the depiction of Jerry Bus is actually pretty accurate.
Speaker B: What I've heard, though, is that a lot of the other characters are misrepresented quite a bit.
Speaker B: It is not even close in the vein of a documentary.
Speaker A: No.
Speaker A: Well, it's not a documentary.
Speaker B: I know, but some people are feeling like it's just like a rehashing of historical events.
Speaker A: It's historical fiction, for sure.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: I believe it was pointed out to us by our friend on Twitter P.
Speaker A: M.
Speaker A: In the third episode.
Speaker A: Third or fourth episode, the cameras going in like a car and it's going by a neighborhood.
Speaker A: And there is an old school Benny flag pretty clear as day, just in a shot inexplicable.
Speaker A: They weren't talking about Ray Bloom or the Orange Express and Ralph Miller and those visiting AC Green or somebody or AC Green or anything like that.
Speaker A: It was just there just an Oregon State flag in La.
Speaker A: And so that's up there with when there is a Beaver flag at the Tour de France.
Speaker B: I like that.
Speaker B: Leonardo DiCaprio wear an OS hat one time.
Speaker A: Yeah, that one time.
Speaker A: Leonardo wear an OS hat.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker B: So did Lupe fiascoupe?
Speaker A: Fiasco?
Speaker A: Where was he when he wore that?
Speaker C: Was it Lupe fiasco?
Speaker C: Or was it Wiscalifa?
Speaker C: It might have been Wiscalifa.
Speaker A: Probably both.
Speaker A: I think they're both big Oregon State fans and have bought into season tickets on the new West Side when it's completed for 23.
Speaker A: That's what I've heard.
Speaker A: But I want to talk about the Lakers for a second.
Speaker B: Wait, before we go into Lakers, I have to ask this question.
Speaker B: Terry, I'm so sorry.
Speaker B: I didn't mean to hijack this, but it's okay.
Speaker B: But do you think it's possible to trace back?
Speaker B: Look, it was a good day.
Speaker B: Has been analyzed and scrutinized down to the day.
Speaker B: That was a good day, right?
Speaker B: Ice Cube, please.
Speaker A: Play 5 seconds of It Was a Good Day by Ice Cube.
Speaker A: And if you can find the remix, do that one because I think it's a better beat.
Speaker A: But that's just no.
Speaker B: I got to go.
Speaker B: Original, bro.
Speaker UNK: Okay.
Speaker A: That was also Darwin.
Speaker A: Barney's played appearance song at Oregon State.
Speaker A: And I will stop interrupting you from this, please.
Speaker UNK: No.
Speaker B: But what I'm curious about is do we think we can pin down maybe like whose house that was represented?
Speaker A: I may need to rewatch the episode like a thousand times, but this is my investigative journalism game at work.
Speaker B: I highly doubt it was a non athlete because if you're in La and it's the 70s 80s, you're probably not waving a flag for Oregon State because your son or daughter went to school there.
Speaker A: True.
Speaker B: Probably doing were people doing that at that time?
Speaker B: Well, it's in the show.
Speaker A: But I'm saying was it a thing to start because at that point in the show, that was five years before AC Green got drafted.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker A: Okay.
Speaker B: So my point is.
Speaker A: Yeah, we could figure it out.
Speaker A: We could probably figure it out.
Speaker B: Who do you think that flag was representing for?
Speaker B: Whose family?
Speaker B: Whose household?
Speaker B: Come back next week, Terry.
Speaker A: Come back next week.
Speaker B: You're a reporter.
Speaker B: Figure it out.
Speaker A: All right.
Speaker A: I'll try to figure it out.
Speaker A: Pm, if you want to help me.
Speaker A: Also, I know he hit up the OG Brandon Sprague on Twitter about that, too.
Speaker A: So, Brandon, if you have any thoughts on that might be I'd love to hear it.
Speaker B: And we'll throw on the mystery music and salt.
Speaker A: We'll get another mystery music.
Speaker A: But speaking of the Lakers in the current season, the 2022 season right now, as we all know, there's the regular season and then there's the play in and the playoffs.
Speaker A: So ten teams in each conference get a chance at the postseason.
Speaker A: Now to determine the eight teams that get a chance at the playoffs.
Speaker A: Lebron James on the Lakers famously said that whoever came up with this idea should be fired because it meant that that year the Lakers had to play an extra game, I believe, against your warriors.
Speaker A: Jp yes.
Speaker A: And I was like anyone being mad about seeing LeBron and staff on the court in extra time should f*** off because that was awesome.
Speaker A: I think we can be pragmatic about LeBron, but in that instance, I say f*** off.
Speaker A: What's the Lakers?
Speaker A: The 2021 22 Lakers?
Speaker A: Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook.
Speaker A: I don't know Anthony.
Speaker A: Lots of injuries and stuff, too.
Speaker A: But they have been the biggest train wreck in recent and distant NBA history.
Speaker A: And I was looking at standings today and saw that they after losing to the Pelicans and the Denver Nuggets, who both fans wanted them to beat yesterday, they are in 11th.
Speaker A: They're not even in the plan.
Speaker A: And the standings I was looking at, it wasn't the full team like Phoenix Suns, Golden State, Warriors, Memphis, Gregory's, Full City and nickname listed.
Speaker A: It was the abbreviations and the abbreviations of our teams are all fairly obvious, like the Golden State Warriors are GSW, Portland is P-O-R.
Speaker A: Minnesota is M-I-N.
Speaker A: So we just shook her head and said, man, it's actually F-U-K.
Speaker A: But anyway, for also obvious reasons, the Lakers abbreviation is Lal.
Speaker A: And as I was looking at them down there in the 11th spot, likely not even making the playoffs this year with LeBron and at least three other hall of Famers on the roster.
Speaker A: And this team, that the f****** Talking Heads and all the bandwagon Laker fans who show up everywhere in every Stadium across the country in Laker gear, just like Crown as the Champions.
Speaker A: Beforehand, I was thinking a more appropriate abbreviation for the Los Angeles makers instead of Lal would be lol like that, because every time I watch that train wreck, I find myself laughing out loud.
Speaker B: Did you guys see your text?
Speaker A: Did you guys see your text?
Speaker UNK: Yes.
Speaker B: They had a solution.
Speaker B: Bird in hand.
Speaker B: Is that the phrase bird in hand?
Speaker A: They did have a solution.
Speaker B: They had the solution.
Speaker A: The solution.
Speaker A: What was that solution, JP?
Speaker B: That solution goes by the name of GP two.
Speaker A: And there's only one, too.
Speaker A: It would have been huge for them.
Speaker A: Did the Lakers have him, though?
Speaker B: Yeah, the Lakers had him.
Speaker A: They could have kept them.
Speaker B: They could have kept them.
Speaker A: And he could have been a contributing player.
Speaker A: So my hot take is a lot of people are complaining about the Lakers being on national TV every night.
Speaker A: I love that they're on national TV every night.
Speaker A: I want as many eyes on this s*** show as possible.
Speaker A: Well, sorry that you won't be joining us in the playoffs, Benny.
Speaker A: It's a tough time for Portland professional sports.
Speaker C: Yeah, not good.
Speaker A: We won't talk about that more other than just it sucks.
Speaker A: Better days ahead.
Speaker C: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker A: But there's a real chance that Minnesota and Golden State are matched up in the first round.
Speaker A: So JP and I friendship is coming to an end.
Speaker C: So I'll be doing the podcast by myself.
Speaker A: Is this Betty smoking into a microphone for an hour and a half and looking up YouTube videos of how to edit?
Speaker A: Well, yeah, we don't need to talk about that s*** anymore.
Speaker A: But the Jayhawks just cut it to three.
Speaker A: It's 46 43.
Speaker A: North Carolina with 13 minutes left in the National Championship.
Speaker C: North Carolina really already got their Championship.
Speaker C: They not Coach K out in the final four in this last game.
Speaker C: I mean, that's better than the National Championship.
Speaker A: Awesome.
Speaker A: It would have helped my brackets for Duke to have won, but I'm, like, kind of happy that Duke lost just because I've kind of always been.
Speaker A: I've leaned North Carolina in that rivalry my whole life.
Speaker C: Me too.
Speaker C: I think everybody has, with the exception of a few weird people and people that went to Duke.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: So my kid won our family bracket, by the way, because he had Kansas in the finals, and he had been losing to Gonzaga.
Speaker B: So nine entries in my family, he won by, like, 200 points.
Speaker A: Whoa.
Speaker B: And none of us put money on it this year.
Speaker B: Normally, we put a little bit of cash on it.
Speaker B: We just never agreed to it.
Speaker B: We're like, I'll just do it quickly and see what happens.
Speaker B: And he was kind of bummed because we put the same bracket in a bunch of different pools that actually did cost money.
Speaker B: And one of them, he finished fifth, and they pay top four and another one, like, he was a little further out.
Speaker A: Welcome to the real world, Everett.
Speaker B: I can't break a start like that.
Speaker B: So earlier when the game kicked off, I was like, hey, before this game gets going, it's solidified.
Speaker B: You've won.
Speaker B: Here you go.
Speaker B: I don't carry cash ever.
Speaker B: And I had two twenties, and I was like, whatever I was giving this because eventually it's just going to go with bank account, and I'll probably take it out and pay for something that I would have normally paid for myself anyways.
Speaker B: So I'm like, you won, dude.
Speaker B: Here you go.
Speaker B: I give him the handshake money.
Speaker A: Father of the year type s***, right?
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker B: And he looks at me and he pulls him apart.
Speaker C: He goes 220.
Speaker B: And I can see him getting really quiet, and he's, like, counting in his head and tried to figure out.
Speaker A: He's like, I don't even know how much money this is.
Speaker B: It's 40, son.
Speaker B: It's 40.
Speaker B: He is five.
Speaker B: But like, come on, son.
Speaker B: I'm going to take that money back until you can count to 40.
Speaker C: He was just too excited.
Speaker A: I feel.
Speaker B: But actually, I took last in my family's pool, so I'm slightly proud and embarrassed at the same time that I was the worst, but my son was the best, dude.
Speaker B: So I don't know what that means to me, but good on us.
Speaker C: You and me both, man.
Speaker C: I had one team left in the Elite Eight.
Speaker C: One team left.
Speaker A: Was it St.
Speaker A: Peters?
Speaker A: No.
Speaker C: I honestly don't even remember who it was.
Speaker C: I just remember looking at it and being like, Wait, okay, so the Elite Eight doesn't matter because the team that I had in the Elite Eight, I had losing in the Elite Eight was Arizona and Elite Eight.
Speaker A: No, they lost on the streets team.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: I think I had all my Elite Eight out.
Speaker A: You're like the Oregon State men's basketball team of picking brackets.
Speaker A: I will talk about our men's basketball team on the Pod JP.
Speaker B: Let's talk about bigger things like big screens.
Speaker A: Let's talk about big things like giant screens.
Speaker A: Yes.
Speaker A: Hitting an impossibly big scoreboard of the south end zone, and that's important, and it's going to enhance the game day atmosphere.
Speaker A: But what's more important is the question that we pose on Twitter that we still haven't gotten an answer to.
Speaker A: And that is.
Speaker A: Can we have the old one?
Speaker A: Yes, parts of it.
Speaker A: Never mind.
Speaker A: If we don't have a place to put it.
Speaker A: We'll figure that part out later.
Speaker A: We don't need to figure that out now.
Speaker A: That old one's going to go somewhere.
Speaker A: Are you just going to put it in a dump somewhere?
Speaker A: Be wasteful.
Speaker B: That's not sustainable.
Speaker B: That is not what our University stands for.
Speaker A: Yeah, we're like the best environmental Sciences campus on the f****** planet.
Speaker A: Number one in forestry.
Speaker A: Are you just going to throw it in the ocean contributing to carbon emissions and global warming organ States?
Speaker A: Or are you going to let an independent nonprofit podcast of three best friends podcasting during the men's NCAA Championship instead of being at parties with other friends, have a nice little carrot on top.
Speaker A: Come on, come on.
Speaker A: We'll find a use for it if they give it to us.
Speaker B: The football is in your court.
Speaker A: Yes, it is the only football we're going to talk on this episode, too, because we've got so much else to get to you.
Speaker A: But the renderings look.
Speaker A: Dope.
Speaker B: Wait, I want to say dope the renderings look.
Speaker B: The renderings.
Speaker A: They look like renderings.
Speaker A: Yeah, because if you notice.
Speaker B: They look kind of slightly angled poorly.
Speaker B: The left side is a little bit angled off to the top corner.
Speaker B: It's a bad battery.
Speaker B: I can make that better in like a half.
Speaker A: The graphic design intern was hungover that day.
Speaker C: Jp.
Speaker A: Give the athletic administration more credit.
Speaker A: Sorry, SIDS.
Speaker A: Who are listening and judging our every move.
Speaker A: Jp did not mean that it was.
Speaker B: You guys can hire me on contract that time.
Speaker A: But shooting shots.
Speaker C: Yeah, it does look slanted.
Speaker B: See, I told you and now you're never going to unsee it.
Speaker A: But.
Speaker B: What is cool is it's full screen, which when the last scoreboard came out, it was the biggest scoreboard in the pack ten.
Speaker B: And it was the biggest scoreboard by a lot.
Speaker B: It became the smallest scoreboard in like three years span, though, because we were like so far early that the technology became cheaper and cheaper so fast.
Speaker B: Every professional team, every single collegiate like Power five conference team was redoing their scoreboards at the same couple of years after that.
Speaker A: It was a scoreboard wave.
Speaker B: But like blowing out of the water because we were still reserving a lot of area for static ads.
Speaker B: And so I'm really happy to see that they've removed that and they're going full digital ads because that's one great for the University because they could have so many more partners and that drives a lot more revenue.
Speaker B: So very smart decision.
Speaker A: And we can be one of those partners.
Speaker B: We should have an ad.
Speaker B: We should have an ad.
Speaker A: Let's talk.
Speaker C: How much they cost.
Speaker B: I don't know, but we should just like we should do like a Go fund.
Speaker B: Me.
Speaker A: We're here and we're not going away.
Speaker B: But because of the rendering.
Speaker A: Help us.
Speaker A: Help you.
Speaker B: Because of the renderings and because when they announced it, I'm like, this is not real, right?
Speaker B: I mean, though I knew there were rumors that they were doing the new scoreboard, but I felt like this addition of the scoreboard was leaning in to the day that it was announced.
Speaker A: Which was just saying it's the deliberate pickles of scoreboards pickles.
Speaker A: Jp, you can just hashtag deal with it.
Speaker A: If that's it, deal with it.
Speaker B: We have a sloppy corner of our new scoreboard.
Speaker B: Deal with it.
Speaker B: It's an accurate rendering.
Speaker A: That's the new s***.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker C: It doesn't even look crooked.
Speaker C: It just looks like it's smaller on one side than the other.
Speaker C: Is this now going to be the largest scoreboard in the past?
Speaker B: Oregon?
Speaker B: I don't think so.
Speaker A: How long before Oregon has a scoreboard that's one inch taller and one inch wider again?
Speaker A: Will that come before or after the addition of their men's soccer program?
Speaker B: I think.
Speaker B: But even if it is.
Speaker A: That was a good joke.
Speaker B: I laughed.
Speaker B: I laughed, I smiled.
Speaker B: What I'm thinking is to claim things like that.
Speaker B: It becomes dated so fast.
Speaker B: And so I feel like even if it was the biggest, who cares?
Speaker C: Because it's not going to be for long, right?
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker A: Just make it cool.
Speaker A: Just make it cool.
Speaker C: And it's like approximately the entire size of the end zone.
Speaker C: That's so big.
Speaker A: And it doesn't need to be that big.
Speaker A: I don't want to tell anyone to get off my lawn.
Speaker A: I know we're getting older.
Speaker A: I don't want to bring O.
Speaker A: K.
Speaker A: Boomer energy into this.
Speaker A: It doesn't need to be the size of the Stadium.
Speaker A: Like, my eyes can only take in so much screen.
Speaker B: I agree.
Speaker A: It's going to be better.
Speaker A: Holy s***.
Speaker A: This is a one point game.
Speaker A: Sorry, JP, keep talking.
Speaker B: No, but there's still going to be a lot of it carved out for ads on its regular appearance, and it will be great for the University at a whole.
Speaker B: But when it comes to intros and replays, to have that full spectrum video, it's going to be awesome.
Speaker B: And it's just going to enhance the experience visually.
Speaker B: But it's not just that scoreboard.
Speaker B: They're adding like hundreds of feet of Led Led screens, and I don't really understand game changer.
Speaker B: So they did some Led a little bit, but this is going all the way around.
Speaker B: It's going to be end to end, like goal line to go line or end to end zone.
Speaker B: But they also talk a bit about Le displays in the north and south clubs.
Speaker B: What does that mean?
Speaker B: Does that mean the terrace is getting a scoreboard?
Speaker A: It means the menu is not a piece of paper anymore.
Speaker A: It's a screen that you need and gives you a migraine.
Speaker C: This is what I took out of it with all the Led ribbon.
Speaker C: And the huge scoreboard is you can do some really cool pregame, like team entry, sort of stuff and we've talked about this a couple of times and I don't know if we've talked about this on the Pod before, but Oregon States shift from being and I don't want to diminish what it was, but it was sort of hokey with like the band played.
Speaker C: The band produced 90% of the music that was played at the Stadium.
Speaker C: And when we went this last year.
Speaker A: It wasn't just the band doing it, it was Sweet Caroline before the fourth quarter, which is right.
Speaker A: Every 97 year old white person wants, which isn't the demographic we should be trying to cater to.
Speaker C: Right?
Speaker C: So then when we went to this game last year, it was like they had a DJ there and they were playing like fun pop up hype music.
Speaker C: And if you add a giant screen and a bunch of Led ribbons, it's going to be a totally different game day experience, I think.
Speaker A: H*** yeah.
Speaker A: And the dopest part of that was that sort of cell phone light show thing that they did to Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus JP 5 seconds of Parting in the USA by Miley Cyrus.
Speaker B: After that.
Speaker A: While I'm still talking, it wasn't just any DJ, it was our friend and legendary Corvallis DJ Chi Dooley.
Speaker C: Yeah, shout out.
Speaker A: We got to have them on the Pod sometime.
Speaker A: We talked about having Chi Dooley on the Pod.
Speaker A: Like we started this s***.
Speaker A: We're 42 episodes and we got to get Chidu Leon and then you can just spin songs, just different 5 seconds of Chi Dooley's favorite songs for the entire episode.
Speaker A: It'll be the best episode ever.
Speaker A: Jpx please go ahead.
Speaker B: No, I was going to say that adding on to what Benny was mentioning about like kind of getting the hype going and that the pregame atmosphere using the ribbons and the big new scoreboard we have.
Speaker B: One of our followers, Pat Bieberman, wrote back to Sarah Elcano as she talked about this announcement and just talked about how other stadiums are able to turn off their Stadium lights and then get them flashing either after a touchdown or during the intros at night games.
Speaker B: It would be really cool.
Speaker B: I know that that is like a whole different beast when it comes to preparing your Stadium to be able to do that because that requires instant on Led bulbs, every single light stand.
Speaker B: And it's a big investment because, for example, like the Giants in Oracle Park, they redid the lights about four years ago to switch from the old incandescent bulbs to Led bulbs.
Speaker B: And one, it's very expensive.
Speaker B: Two, it is a whole different layout when it comes to light projection and you have to pretty much remap the entire Stadium and the light projection with that.
Speaker B: So I don't know if the University is going to be able to do that anytime soon.
Speaker B: I do agree though.
Speaker B: It'd be really cool if we could like flashlights at night games after touchdowns or during the intro.
Speaker UNK: Yeah.
Speaker B: Hopefully that is in the future, in the cards, but that's going to be almost as big of an investment as, like, adding Led ribbons, for sure.
Speaker B: Not already ready to do it.
Speaker A: We have been talking about this for too long, and we need to get to our beers.
Speaker A: S***.
Speaker B: You're right.
Speaker A: JP.
Speaker A: I'm going to let you choose.
Speaker A: Would you like to go first or would you like Bend to go first?
Speaker B: I would like Bend to go first.
Speaker B: Okay.
Speaker A: You're going first.
Speaker A: It's a very nice sweater, by the way you look.
Speaker C: Thank you.
Speaker C: Thank you.
Speaker C: I don't have a beer.
Speaker C: And I'll tell you why I don't have a beer.
Speaker C: I have been doing peloton religiously lately, and I have not lost a single pound.
Speaker A: Granted, you're measuring it wrong.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker A: Don't worry about pound.
Speaker C: Look, I'm just saying I'm trying to get healthy and that's the whole thing, because I'm trying to get healthy.
Speaker C: And when I smoke in the evening, I eat the most garbage food.
Speaker C: So I'm doing a month of no drinking, no smoking.
Speaker A: Okay.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker B: Is this an April Fool's joke?
Speaker A: No.
Speaker C: No April Fool's joke.
Speaker A: Does this mean Ben gets to still be on the Pod?
Speaker A: Jp, he didn't tell us about this beforehand.
Speaker B: We'll talk offline.
Speaker A: Do we have to drink more?
Speaker B: We'll drink for him.
Speaker A: Sure.
Speaker A: I have a crowler tonight.
Speaker A: Okay.
Speaker A: Jp and I covered Benny for episodes in April.
Speaker A: Jp, you were excited about this.
Speaker A: You teased this on the Beaver FAM.
Speaker A: Focus with Scott scores, Scott scores, Zach scores.
Speaker A: Whatever.
Speaker A: Scott starch.
Speaker A: F*** it.
Speaker A: We've already wasted too much time.
Speaker A: We just have to keep going.
Speaker A: Zach scores.
Speaker A: Triple IPA.
Speaker A: Your beer.
Speaker A: You're wearing a chain.
Speaker A: You look dope.
Speaker A: Cool.
Speaker B: Thanks, bro.
Speaker A: What is it?
Speaker B: Tonic immobility.
Speaker B: Triple IPA from Old Possum Brewing in Santa Rosa, California.
Speaker B: So I bought this last week when I was down in the Bay Area, and this was the last of the six pack.
Speaker B: And I'm like, I'm taking this home.
Speaker B: I'm going to drink it on the Pod.
Speaker B: It's a hefty triple at 10.2% ABV.
Speaker B: They actually say it's a quad IPA, even though it's just.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker B: So if you're not in the discord, I think it's the discord.
Speaker B: If you're on the discord, our friend of the pod, Scott, Scott earlings, he shared a link to how double and triple IPAs are classified and how they reach that classification.
Speaker B: And so what I'm guessing is the Old Possum Brewing Company does not agree with the classification of a quadruple IPA.
Speaker B: Thus had to market this one specifically as a triple IPA, though it is very high in ABV and very high in incredible taste.
Speaker B: Well done, Old Possum Brewing.
Speaker A: What would you give it?
Speaker B: A 4.20.
Speaker B: So a 420.
Speaker C: Nice.
Speaker A: Well, inspired by JP, I also have a double IPA tonight.
Speaker A: I have a prowler from one of my favorite Minnesota breweries, Barrel Theory in St.
Speaker A: Paul, Minnesota.
Speaker A: Right by the St.
Speaker A: Paul Saints Ballpark in downtown St.
Speaker A: Paul, where a massive Beaver was just seen just roaming around downtown St.
Speaker A: Paul recently.
Speaker C: True story.
Speaker A: Shout out the Lower Town Beaver, which is something like, you could come to St.
Speaker A: Paul 30 years from now and just go up to a random stranger and be like, Remember the Lower Town Beaver?
Speaker A: And they're like, oh, yeah, it walks all these blocks along and they finally got it back in the river.
Speaker A: A giant Beaver was just rolling through St.
Speaker A: Paul, Minnesota.
Speaker A: I understand what you're saying.
Speaker A: It sounds like JP.
Speaker A: It's not even close to the dirtiest things we've hinted at on the show.
Speaker B: I'm not going to ask anyone about Lower Town Beaver.
Speaker A: Okay.
Speaker A: All right, guys, we have 1069 followers.
Speaker A: Nice.
Speaker A: We're in our mid 30s.
Speaker A: Jesus f****** Christ.
Speaker A: Anyway, the Beaver walked right by.
Speaker A: Barrel theory.
Speaker A: This is a double IPA.
Speaker A: It's a crowler that I have and it's absolutely delicious.
Speaker A: This is a Super Cyan with Galaxy Citrus Symco Cryo and Mosaic Cops 8.2%.
Speaker A: Barrel Theory does a lot of great work.
Speaker A: And it's also one of the most beautiful tap rooms physically.
Speaker A: So if you're ever in the Twin Cities.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker A: They hired like, an incredible woodworker to do all of the woodwork in there.
Speaker B: Was it Scott?
Speaker A: It was not Scott.
Speaker C: Yeah, it's an incredible woodworker.
Speaker A: The Scott of St.
Speaker A: Paul.
Speaker A: The closest thing St.
Speaker A: Paul has to Scott.
Speaker A: So not quite.
Speaker A: It would have been better with Scott, but it was the next best thing.
Speaker B: So shut up.
Speaker B: Barrel theory.
Speaker A: And the spear that I have now had, I guess two and a half of, is the measurement of crowlers.
Speaker UNK: Nice.
Speaker B: That's how cheers are in there.
Speaker B: Cheers.
Speaker A: Cheers to this.
Speaker A: And cheers.
Speaker A: I want to raise this toast specifically to a good friend of the pod, one Marvin Beaverman.
Speaker A: If you're listening to our show, you know who he is for partnering with us to create what I think are the coolest shirts we have made.
Speaker A: It's nothing we came up with.
Speaker A: It's just Marvin signature sign off Oregon State victory text on a shirt, the same font on Twitter, the same emojis.
Speaker A: It's a must have for any Beaver fan or for anyone who f**** with us and f**** with Marvin and just is on Oregon State social media.
Speaker A: It's my favorite thing that we've partnered with somebody on.
Speaker A: And again, I just want to make sure that people know that we're not making money off of this shirt.
Speaker A: We checked with Marvin first.
Speaker A: We wanted to make sure he was cool with it.
Speaker A: And of course he was, because it's just about spreading love and it's just, you know, that great saying much.
Speaker A: Mahalo.
Speaker A: Thank you, Arigato.
Speaker A: Mahalo.
Speaker A: Plenty.
Speaker A: Go Beave OSU.
Speaker A: Our hats are off to you.
Speaker A: Beaver emoji.
Speaker A: Hand clap, emoji, hang loose, emoji.
Speaker A: And it's for every sport, every win, big and small, every single victory that the Beaver fan has.
Speaker A: So if you're excited about the softball team or Jade Carrey going to Nationals or anything else positive going on with Oregon State right now.
Speaker A: Buy the shirt.
Speaker A: If you have personal victories right now, shoot us a GM about your personal wins.
Speaker A: But also hook yourself up with a shirt.
Speaker A: We're all going to have them at some point and just celebrate Marvin, who's just been a bastion of Sunshine and joy for all of Oregon State fans through all of the bullshit.
Speaker A: So that's what this shirt represents.
Speaker A: So belligerentbees.
Speaker A: Commerch, the shirts are there.
Speaker A: And thank you, JP, for working with Marvin on this because they really are fantastic.
Speaker C: They really are.
Speaker C: I honestly genuinely don't think that there's any person out there that is as big of a Beaver fan as what Marvin is.
Speaker C: He's the one person that comes to mind when I think of a Beaver fan.
Speaker B: And he's not just sports, right?
Speaker B: He's a fan of the entire experience of being an Oregon State student and fan and what it all entails.
Speaker B: And that's why I think it's really cool.
Speaker B: And he's, of course, very active on social media and on Twitter.
Speaker B: And I think he surpassed a couple of months ago like a million likes of his own.
Speaker B: Likes that he's like tweets, which is really impressive.
Speaker B: But we ran it by him.
Speaker B: So first, this all started.
Speaker B: If you want to trace this back really quick, it all started with the Oregon State out of context Twitter account.
Speaker B: Shout out to them.
Speaker B: They post some really awesome pictures as well.
Speaker A: Such a great Twitter account.
Speaker A: Whoever's behind it, you're doing an incredible job.
Speaker B: Yeah, keep it up.
Speaker B: And they posted a screenshot, of course, of that signature, a celebratory tweet from Marvin whenever one of our athletic programs wins an event.
Speaker B: And then our friend of the show, Scott Eurling, commented and said, hey, I would love I've asked the Blizzard Beach to put together a shirt with this on it.
Speaker B: I think it'd be really cool.
Speaker B: And I sat on it for a little bit and put together a quick design.
Speaker B: Throw it over to Marvin.
Speaker B: Asked what his thoughts were.
Speaker A: He loved it.
Speaker B: He said, go with it.
Speaker B: Let's do it.
Speaker B: We put it up on the site again.
Speaker B: We don't make any money off of this stuff.
Speaker B: It is sold pretty much at cost.
Speaker B: There might be some wiggle room depending upon if you're out of state and there is tax or higher shipping.
Speaker B: But for the most part, we break even across all sales.
Speaker B: And we wanted to put this up just to be fun and show some love to Marvin and his dedication to Oregon State.
Speaker B: But also it should be the official celebratory victory shirt and victory message for Oregon State that should be written in the handbook for freshmen when they come in.
Speaker B: This is what we say when the Beaves win.
Speaker A: I can't believe it took us this long to try and put it on a shirt.
Speaker A: And I can't believe for all the years he's been doing it beforehand.
Speaker A: It wasn't put on a shirt.
Speaker B: I'm wondering if he's going to wear it as one of his shirts.
Speaker B: Yeah, we sent him his own comp shirt for lending us the tweet.
Speaker B: And we're not an official Oregon State licensed apparel company.
Speaker A: But it's days of Beaver pride.
Speaker A: It's not days of officially licensed gear.
Speaker B: But I feel like he has all officially licensed stuff.
Speaker B: So I'm curious if Marvin.
Speaker A: If you're listening, you can pair it with a nice hat from the Oregon State Book Store.
Speaker C: There you go.
Speaker B: Yeah, he's got all the hats.
Speaker B: He's got the whole ensemble.
Speaker B: It's amazing.
Speaker A: I'd be so happy if he posted that.
Speaker A: That'd be amazing.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker B: H***, yeah.
Speaker B: We also have some old merch heading out of the store going on Last Chance.
Speaker B: Last Chance.
Speaker B: We have a Last Chance store, so obviously we whip up a bunch of this stuff really frequently.
Speaker B: It's not sustainable when it comes to having a browsable store.
Speaker B: We hear all the time like, oh, you guys have cool merch list stuff is really cool.
Speaker B: But we're always going to continue to come up with there's too much s*** on it.
Speaker A: Especially with an entire new line of deliberate pickles s*** that's also limited time, but also live on the store right now.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker B: There's still delizer and pickles stuff on the store.
Speaker A: You can get that pickles hoodie dress.
Speaker A: It's days.
Speaker A: It's days away from that being done.
Speaker B: I love that.
Speaker B: On the left, leave it says hashtag deal with it, which is pretty Savage.
Speaker B: We have our Last Chance to now, so we're moving some of that kind of like older merch into this or dated merch.
Speaker B: I guess it's kind of a better way to put it into this Last Chance store.
Speaker B: And so for now, we've got the Men's Soccer Patrol Champions T shirt with the I Guess We'll Never Know on the back, which is the slogan, of course, as they raised the trophy in front of the banner, which is really cool.
Speaker B: We've got the very popular Wrecking Research T shirt with the implosion of the Old West Side tumbling backwards.
Speaker B: That one's only going on this because it's timely.
Speaker B: It's gone.
Speaker B: And then also there's only one, too, with the Gary Payton head scratch.
Speaker B: Also a very timely occurrence in sports was really awesome when he was dominating the TV airwaves with the defensive plays and the dunks and with the head scratch.
Speaker B: So it's on its way out as well.
Speaker B: So Last Chance.
Speaker B: The one thing I want to point out, Last Chance, is these T's are on sale, which essentially means, guys, I'm going to need you to pony up and cover the cost of the diff there because we'll be selling at a loss, but I want to get them out.
Speaker A: So you want Ben and I to cover up?
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: Okay.
Speaker A: Yeah, we can do that.
Speaker B: Okay.
Speaker A: For our listeners.
Speaker A: H***, yeah.
Speaker A: We've got that cool.
Speaker B: They're good.
Speaker C: No, crazy listeners, just not too crazy.
Speaker A: Buy 100 shirts.
Speaker A: I will gladly cover the cost.
Speaker B: There you go.
Speaker B: H***, yeah.
Speaker A: Amazing.
Speaker A: All right.
Speaker A: The National Championship is getting wild.
Speaker B: Fyi d*** it.
Speaker B: I need to put up on my iPad right behind you.
Speaker B: I know it's so behind me.
Speaker B: I keep turning around.
Speaker B: My microphone is right.
Speaker C: Wait, it's 65 61.
Speaker C: Kansas.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker A: We have to talk about Oregon State softball.
Speaker B: We have to talk about Oregon State sports.
Speaker A: We haven't gotten to any of it.
Speaker A: No, we have.
Speaker A: We were talking football and screens and about not wanting to talk about basketball.
Speaker A: All the things we said we wouldn't be.
Speaker A: But anyways, Oregon State softball.
Speaker B: Hill rushing it again.
Speaker A: Every other square we're bringing up has some bit of bad news.
Speaker A: Oregon State softball.
Speaker A: No bad news.
Speaker A: No bad news.
Speaker A: Not only a four game winning and streak with a sweep of the Cow Golden Bears and a win against St.
Speaker A: Mary's before that, they haven't given up a run single.
Speaker A: They haven't given up a run in any of those f****** games.
Speaker A: They mercied.
Speaker A: Cal, the pitching has been fantastic.
Speaker A: Sarah Hendigas.
Speaker A: I hope I'm pronouncing that right.
Speaker A: I truly hope I am.
Speaker A: Because Sarah came out through a two hit complete game, shut out in the first game against Caliah.
Speaker A: Mizon came out through a four hit show the next day, and Sarah came in and cleaned up just the very last inning of that.
Speaker A: This is like for people trying to contextualize or against softball who maybe haven't watched the team or whatever, that's like Kevin Abel in 2018 College World Series s***.
Speaker A: Because the next day, after pitching a complete game and then pitching the final inning, Sarah comes in again.
Speaker A: Five hit complete game, shut out.
Speaker A: And the Beave sweep Cow.
Speaker A: And we talk a lot about players like Frankie Hamudi and Kiki Escobar and the offense of the softball team and just what's making Laura Berg's team tick right now.
Speaker A: But do you this pitching and defense has been phenomenal to get us in conference sweep and include that in a four game winning streak where you don't give up a single run.
Speaker A: Like, we're at a point now where it's just like, oh, we thought this would be like a nice, good team.
Speaker A: That could be like a tournament team.
Speaker B: Fun to watch team.
Speaker A: Yeah, fun to watch team, young team.
Speaker A: But now it's like this isn't like, let's make some f****** noise.
Speaker A: Let's go to Oklahoma City and let's be excited about that.
Speaker A: I know we're looking ahead and s***, but wonderful weekend for Oregon State softball.
Speaker C: And we have a series with Arizona coming up, too.
Speaker C: Who is what are they?
Speaker C: One and eight in conference play.
Speaker C: So definitely a series to take advantage of and continue to rise in the rankings.
Speaker B: What I love is this is showing the depth of the team, because if you think about it, like this weekend, right, like, Sarah went twice and it's just kind of been a trade off of starting pitching for the last couple of games.
Speaker B: Tony hasn't pitched in two weeks from today was her last outing against Grand Canyon on the 21st, and this was like she had that like three inning outing and looked good, but prior to that she was getting knocked around a bit.
Speaker B: And I don't know if they just kind of set her down to calm the nerves or if there's been an injury that they're just not really disclosing.
Speaker B: Either way, it's exciting to see that the team is still stepping up and dominating on the pitching front, which is like what we know the team is really built on.
Speaker B: And you talk about offense, too, though.
Speaker B: Terry and Kiki Escobar also freshman of the week this week, and Sarah, which I'm not going to even dare pronounce her last name because I know you already butchered it.
Speaker A: Picture of the weekendigest.
Speaker B: Did I do it good?
Speaker A: I think so.
Speaker B: Okay, maybe we'll wait for Amy, but.
Speaker A: Until there's an actual pronunciation got on the site, we can watch the highlights and then we hear the announcers do it.
Speaker A: We assume the announcers are doing it correctly, but we also don't know that they're always doing it correctly because we don't know necessarily.
Speaker A: And then also how many highlights do we watch of every single team?
Speaker A: It's easy for s*** to get lost in the shuffle, so just send us a g****** pronunciation and we'll get it right every time.
Speaker B: It does help you to know it does help as we're talking about it and whatever.
Speaker B: We're still talking to the same people, regardless if we can pronunciate their name or not.
Speaker B: And either way, they're both badasses.
Speaker B: Sarah's a full of bad assets.
Speaker A: F****** baller.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker B: And I hope that this kind of next flare up continues.
Speaker B: It's a trend with Oregon State Athletics in general, and I think a lot of it lends to the family atmosphere that these programs provide for their players, that everyone's ready to step in and step up when called upon, and they're willing and ready to kind of succeed their roles when they know they're not performing at their highest capabilities and they're doing for the betterment of the team.
Speaker B: And this weekend was a clear testament to that for the softball team through last Thursday.
Speaker B: That four game winning streak and a h*** of a lot of runs scored and absolutely none given up for sure, too.
Speaker A: And it's also not even just like the pitching has been fantastic, obviously, between Mariah and Sarah, especially with not having Tarni the last couple of weeks.
Speaker A: But I've seen Grace Mesmer made an insane web gem like a couple of weeks ago that was basically the script of a Sports Center top ten.
Speaker A: Not many Eliana Gottlieb has been huge at the plate for the team since past twelve play has started.
Speaker A: We talked about Kiki and Frankie a lot of the time, too, but Madison Simon has also been really good.
Speaker A: Lucie Campbell's been really good.
Speaker A: Desperate.
Speaker A: Savannah Watley like this is a deep f****** team.
Speaker A: Mariah in addition to pitching, has been huge at the plate all season for the squad.
Speaker A: So I don't know really what we're expecting going into the season.
Speaker A: Obviously, we aren't all Oregon State softball majors, especially organized softball history majors, but the team I think is ahead of schedule and you have an Olympia like Laura Berg at the helm.
Speaker A: And when you see a streak like this in mid season, even when the other teams you're playing, even if it's not like the top of the pack, twelve cream of the crop or whatever, it's teams who are in mid season form and are starting to figure themselves out.
Speaker A: So you can't tell me that four straight shutouts against any competition isn't d*** impressive.
Speaker A: And we've talked about the seam a couple of times in the last few weeks where we came over and they had maybe not like the most dominant weekends that we became accustomed to at the beginning of the season.
Speaker A: It's a team right now that's 29 and eight and has been unstoppable on a neutral site, really good away and still really good at home and we've got good teams ahead of us on the schedule.
Speaker A: But d***, the last four games are as encouraging as they can be and they were really in a bit after that ASU series.
Speaker B: There'S no doubt about it, but the rebound has been very impressive.
Speaker B: I would say when you come back from a road being swept on the road to when you're next seven of your next eight, that is sending a message.
Speaker B: You might get us once, but we're going to come back and take it out on the rest of our opponents.
Speaker B: So the team is bounced back.
Speaker B: Their overall record, of course, still incredibly impressive.
Speaker B: And I don't really see them slowing down because like we said, right now they're still winning from depth.
Speaker B: And as they continue to get experience with the young players as they get people healthy, they're going to be a force, right?
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker A: And it's not even like last week.
Speaker A: We got sort of so in the weeds a couple of other things.
Speaker A: We didn't even get to it, but winning the series against Stanford was pretty d*** impressive.
Speaker A: Winning games 141 and then dropping 10 one, which was another gem of a pitching performance.
Speaker A: But Hamudi was fantastic in that series and just cranked a no doubter.
Speaker A: I don't know what direction that is beyond Kelly Field.
Speaker A: Like, is that like f****** Albany?
Speaker A: If it's where she almost hit that shot to, it probably would have broken the door the window in a few different dorm rooms had it kept going.
Speaker A: And Sanford, that's a good program.
Speaker A: It's not a cheap program out there.
Speaker A: So they're on a tear right now and this is a team that's gonna have going to be a problem in the post season picture.
Speaker B: Yes, definitely.
Speaker C: 100% yes.
Speaker A: And of course, it's no surprise that it's an Amy Senatola team shocker.
Speaker A: Shocker always involved.
Speaker A: Amy, please don't yell at us on Twitter again for not mentioning Oregon State softball.
Speaker A: We love Oregon State softball and that same realm of things, Oregon State gymnastics.
Speaker A: There's good news and there's bad news.
Speaker A: But I think we should start with the good news first.
Speaker B: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker A: Jade Carrie moving on to Nationals.
Speaker B: Carrying her name is good news.
Speaker A: It's pronounced Jade Carrie.
Speaker A: We have confirmed.
Speaker A: Now someone got pronunciation guy, didn't you?
Speaker A: J like shade and carry like Terry.
Speaker A: Jade Carrie, one of the best gymnasts on the planet, is headed to Nationals individuals and defend her claim to the throne of the individual all around.
Speaker A: And if she's going to win it, this is what's going to happen.
Speaker A: She's either going to win it or I'm going to be yelling, Show me the blemish at a bunch of f****** nerds for claiming there's a blemish that's not actually there.
Speaker A: Those are the two possibilities.
Speaker B: I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker A: So Congrats, Jade.
Speaker B: Was it a surprise?
Speaker B: No, she's been dominant all season long.
Speaker C: It's interesting you say that, because I was just thinking that right.
Speaker C: It's not a surprise.
Speaker C: We were all expecting it.
Speaker C: That has to be so much pressure on her.
Speaker C: I mean, she's used to it because she was in the Olympics, but you know what I'm saying?
Speaker B: For people to be like.
Speaker C: Oh yeah, she's there.
Speaker C: That's expected.
Speaker C: Like that's tough, man.
Speaker C: She did it.
Speaker C: So that's huge props.
Speaker C: Huge props for Jade.
Speaker B: You could tell she's got like a cool collective mind when she's out there just performing at the highest level.
Speaker B: She's so focused and I don't think any of the outside noise or expectations weighs on her at all, to be honest.
Speaker B: And I think that's probably a lot that lends to her just being like a special athlete as being able to do that.
Speaker C: Yes, 100%, yeah.
Speaker B: Unfortunately, though, this does mean as an individual contributor that she's not being joined by her teammates.
Speaker A: She's not being joined by her teammates as the team came up just short in the Seattle regional to advance.
Speaker A: So the season for Tanya Chaplin's group and the rest of the Gym Beam.
Speaker A: Jim Peeves, what are you drinking?
Speaker A: The Gym Beam that I'm pouring down my throat because I've been drinking Gym Beam nonstop since the season ended.
Speaker A: God d*** it.
Speaker A: Thanks for replying to me.
Speaker A: And the Jim Beaves has come to an end.
Speaker A: And that sucks so much to be proud of such a great year.
Speaker A: We had so much fun learning about collegiate gymnastics, following this team every week.
Speaker A: I'm so grateful just for them and for how generous people like Warren and Amy and just like everyone's been with just the different bits of knowledge that they've shared with us and just helping us cover this sport.
Speaker A: Not as embarrassingly as we would have without any help.
Speaker A: It's just been so fun.
Speaker A: And I think we ended up with 14th ranking in the country overall before nationals happen.
Speaker A: So incredible, incredible season for Oregon.
Speaker A: Say gymnastics?
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker B: I'm already looking forward to next year.
Speaker B: This is a fun program to follow.
Speaker A: Right.
Speaker A: And it was just dope to go.
Speaker A: And like, JP, we took your kids and Everett was trying to balance on the curb, walking back to the car doing Jade carry impressions.
Speaker A: It's like, this is f****** dope.
Speaker B: You know what's funny is so after that, we bought on the switch there's like the Mario and Sonic Olympic Games game.
Speaker B: And one of the events you can play is gymnastics, and we play that one a lot.
Speaker B: And then it's funny you want to do rock climbing and there's soccer and rugby and all the time he's picking to do gymnastics, so it's a lasting impression.
Speaker B: It was a great event.
Speaker B: It's a ton of fun to be at.
Speaker B: It's a great program to follow and root on.
Speaker B: And they are insane athletes.
Speaker B: Insane.
Speaker B: I don't really know if I've ever seen athletes live that can match that level of athleticism, period.
Speaker A: And that swag, too.
Speaker B: We got to back it up somehow.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker B: Hey, it's 3.2 seconds left and UNC has a ball because Kansas is just inbounded out of bounds.
Speaker C: What's the score?
Speaker A: 72 69.
Speaker A: So North Carolina is going to have one more shot.
Speaker A: So in the meantime, in the meantime, ask for a better start from the squad after collecting a 49 point 35 from Caitlin Garcia, Carly Chavez, Lauren Lech, and Cindy Gonzalez by scoring the 985.
Speaker A: Maddie Dagan also had a terrific all around at the regional.
Speaker A: And of course, Jade was a fantastic legend carry.
Speaker A: Legend carry, legend carry.
Speaker A: But we, of course, took third behind Utah and Stanford.
Speaker A: We beat Illinois.
Speaker C: That's it's, Dunky.
Speaker C: That's right.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker A: But also shout out to Caitlin Ganish, too, who senior, who he followed all year and has been just a gymnast who we thought has always been judged short of what she deserves.
Speaker A: I think Caitlin really inspired to show me the blemish rallying cry because we saw Jay get a perfect ten in person, JP.
Speaker A: And then I think both of us agreed that we saw Caitlin do something not to like s*** out of Jade, but some of them were like, oh, my God, that was even more impressive.
Speaker A: And they were like nine point 95 because we had fun.
Speaker A: That's exactly.
Speaker A: That was a sound bite that came over the speakers at legendary Gilcom.
Speaker A: Just a dynamic, exciting athlete who should have gotten more tons this year, is what I'm saying.
Speaker A: And thank you for your service and your effort to organize athletics.
Speaker A: Should I turn the volume on for the last 4.3 seconds of the National Championship game?
Speaker B: No.
Speaker A: No.
Speaker A: Okay.
Speaker C: Just give us a play by play.
Speaker A: I don't want to do the play by play.
Speaker C: Come on.
Speaker C: Just tell us what's going on.
Speaker B: I will.
Speaker B: Okay, so tall guy is about to inbound.
Speaker C: He passes it to another tall guy.
Speaker B: Tall guy sitting by a line on the sideline.
Speaker B: Wait, here we go.
Speaker B: And he slaps the ball, he slaps the ball, he hands it in a guy in a blue Jersey.
Speaker B: He pumps, he shoots so late.
Speaker A: It's been over.
Speaker B: It's bent over, it's been over ladies and gentlemen, it was over before I began.
Speaker B: Congratulations to the Kansas Jayhawks.
Speaker B: Cool on their National Championship.
Speaker B: I'm sure two way Wigs is thrilled.
Speaker C: I don't know if they're the best bird mascot, but they're certainly not the worst.
Speaker B: My kid pretty much picked them because that would be in Eugene.
Speaker B: Are they birds?
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: Their logo is like a bird with really big sheet.
Speaker B: Brockstar birds.
Speaker A: Shut up, Terry.
Speaker B: They're not.
Speaker A: Yes, they are.
Speaker B: We're changing the Ducks.
Speaker C: They're foul.
Speaker A: Yeah, most birds are.
Speaker A: Congratulations to the Kansas Jayhawks on winning the National Championship.
Speaker A: That looks fun.
Speaker C: Yeah, I'm sure winning National Championships in basketball are fun.
Speaker B: Yeah, we know a few things about winning National Championships and major sports in sports.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker C: Speaking of not a great look.
Speaker A: They said Caleb Love, just go ISO ball right there.
Speaker B: Speaking of Championships, Terry, we're done with College basketball.
Speaker A: It's over.
Speaker B: Move on.
Speaker A: Remember when I was thinking to talk about College basketball?
Speaker B: Speaking of, did you know that you can remove two letters from basketball and it can spell another sport?
Speaker B: Guess which letters they are.
Speaker A: Baseball.
Speaker B: No, not that.
Speaker B: The sport.
Speaker B: The letters.
Speaker A: Oh, my God.
Speaker B: K and T.
Speaker B: There you go.
Speaker A: We're a smart.
Speaker B: Well done.
Speaker C: We went to Oregon State for six years.
Speaker A: I play word.
Speaker A: I went for four and a half.
Speaker A: Don't loot me into your debauchery.
Speaker C: It was called an extended long vacation.
Speaker C: Fun time.
Speaker A: I took a gap year to Linbett in community College baseball.
Speaker A: Baseball.
Speaker A: If you build it, they will come.
Speaker A: Ray, is there any crying in baseball?
Speaker B: Jp, a kid on my T ball team on Saturday started almost crying because he was tired.
Speaker B: So I almost pulled that quote on him and said, I just said, tired.
Speaker B: What do you need, like some coffee?
Speaker B: And he laughed.
Speaker B: So it was better.
Speaker A: I don't know how to answer this question because I saw crying in baseball.
Speaker B: Terry, but I know what you're going for, right?
Speaker A: Well, thank you for going with the bet.
Speaker A: Anyway, Oregon State baseball.
Speaker A: We have one of three National Championships, to be exact, in that sport.
Speaker A: And keep trying to catch us.
Speaker A: Kansas, I guess since we were in College.
Speaker A: I think you've won two National Championships in basketball.
Speaker A: No one cares about what happened when Wilt Chamberlain was there.
Speaker A: F*** that.
Speaker A: But we lost a series this week to Stanford, and I was spending more time catching up with the softball team.
Speaker A: So, JP, I hope you have some thoughts here.
Speaker B: I had the games on, especially like the wet.
Speaker A: I have thoughts, too, Benny.
Speaker A: You always have thoughts.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: I won't go too deep.
Speaker A: And you have an incredible sweater.
Speaker A: I need to reiterate how dope Benny's sweater looks?
Speaker C: It's very comfy, too.
Speaker C: Thank you, though.
Speaker A: Cool.
Speaker A: All right.
Speaker A: Jp Utah and then Benny Utah.
Speaker B: So the week games against Nevada, those were some hard fought games.
Speaker B: They were very close game, one run games, nail biters when I think most people are expecting a better outcome, a win to win, which is great.
Speaker B: And I felt like, okay, yeah, with that midweek, we move on.
Speaker B: We go to the weekend series.
Speaker B: We go up against Stanford, we've got our main rotation in and it was disappointing.
Speaker B: I don't even know the best way to put it.
Speaker B: But Jerky had like 17 K's on Friday and we still lost in ten innings.
Speaker B: We couldn't put one run on the board, plus one, nothing.
Speaker B: The win in eleven was really fun on Saturday's game, but again, we barely won that one.
Speaker B: And then Sundays are just crushing us.
Speaker B: And it isn't just a funny meme anymore.
Speaker B: It is like legitimately concerning that we can't close the series if we're up to in the series and if we split the first two games.
Speaker B: I'm very concerned about taking the series now on a Sunday, the game was close.
Speaker B: I think they put two on in the 8th or 7th.
Speaker B: Stanford did end up winning 85.
Speaker B: But it's disappointing to waste a pitchy performance like we did for Jerky on Friday.
Speaker B: It's even more disappointing to see the trend of Sunday continue.
Speaker B: And that's my thoughts.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker C: I'll put a little bit of a positive spin on it, but I do agree with you that there is not a good weekend.
Speaker C: There's reason to be concerned.
Speaker C: But I will say it's our first series loss.
Speaker B: Is that right?
Speaker C: It is our first series loss, yeah.
Speaker C: And Stanford was like top ten to start the season and Stanford was far and away picked to win the Pack twelve and the preseason polls.
Speaker C: So they have talent for sure.
Speaker C: The other thing I would say is in almost every other series, hitting and scoring runs has not been an issue.
Speaker C: So I'm not concerned about our offense, but our pitching has been an issue and our pitching was insanely good this weekend.
Speaker C: So that's another positive until Sunday.
Speaker UNK: True.
Speaker C: But I would still say Sunday would be like in the top 50% of performances for pitching still.
Speaker C: And that's probably more of a knock on our pitching than Sunday.
Speaker C: But the last thing I'll say is the Pack Twelve is f****** tough this year if you take the top team in the standings and the bottom team in the standings away.
Speaker C: So that would be Arizona at the top at nine and three and Washington at the bottom at two and ten.
Speaker C: You have UCLA, number two with a conference record of six and three.
Speaker C: You have California at number eleven with a conference record of five and seven.
Speaker C: That's crazy.
Speaker C: And you have all these other teams matched up in between.
Speaker C: So I think that will bode well for the Beavers in postseason play.
Speaker C: You stack up against really tough competition week after week.
Speaker C: You're going to have some stumbles along the way.
Speaker C: I do agree with you, JP, though, that you have to figure Sundays out.
Speaker C: You have to figure that out.
Speaker C: But it was really nice to see some strong pitching performances over the weekend.
Speaker C: And I get like the weekday games.
Speaker C: You're not playing your best pitchers, but to see us give up double digit runs against Nevada and then shut Stanford down for the most part was pretty nice.
Speaker C: Bazana had an umbrella.
Speaker C: Amazing game savings.
Speaker B: Yeah, the catch that was sick.
Speaker B: That leap over behind second to get that catch and the s*** talking that he spewed at, that Stanford tug out was sick.
Speaker C: Like I said, Bazana, it's Australian for noise.
Speaker C: That will be my slogan for the rest of the year.
Speaker A: I know you're not drinking this month, but Santa do that.
Speaker A: I feel like you have to have a fosters.
Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker A: I forgot about that, too.
Speaker A: There's many inside jokes we need to talk to the listeners about.
Speaker C: Yeah, it was great.
Speaker B: Those guys were just doing advanced scouting for Travis to see if he'd fit in in Oregon State.
Speaker A: Yeah, I know this kid.
Speaker B: He's about eight years old.
Speaker A: He hits the ball off the tee like a m***********.
Speaker B: Hey, but you mentioned those things that could bode well in postseason play.
Speaker B: And I think obviously the stuff that you touched on is very key.
Speaker B: And as long as we're hosting shout out to the Beaver FAM for showing up at GOs this weekend.
Speaker B: On Saturday, it was the 10th largest crowd at Gossip Stadium in the history of the Stadium, which is like 115 plus years.
Speaker B: Beaver FAM Damley it's the largest crowd in four years since, like, a regional or super regional against LSU.
Speaker C: I was going to say middle of the season series against six.
Speaker C: And what a team that doesn't have a winning record in the pack.
Speaker A: Twelve.
Speaker B: It doesn't travel well.
Speaker B: Stanford's fans travel well, so it's like they were filling up, but they've added a ton of capacity to gosh.
Speaker B: They've added all the bleachers in the outfield, all the stuff down the foul lines.
Speaker A: So give them all of this s*** that they promised would be ready by our sophomore year 15 years ago is now ready.
Speaker B: Oh, my God, Terry, you just shout at people from your lawn all day long.
Speaker A: Did I shout?
Speaker A: I'm merely pointing out that the column that I was asked to write by a senior editor of the Daily Barometer that led to me being yelled at by athletic administration was not my fault.
Speaker A: And I sat in a batting cage for three f****** years with no angle.
Speaker A: Anyways, I'm happy for the people who are at the game this weekend.
Speaker C: Can I point out two other things?
Speaker C: One being that Oregon State is one of two teams in the pack.
Speaker C: Twelve that have reached 20 wins.
Speaker C: So you have Arizona at 21.
Speaker C: Oregon State has 20 winds on the season and the other is them m************ from the south got swept this weekend, so we jumped them in the standing.
Speaker C: So how's the weather down there, Eugene?
Speaker A: Wait, who did they get swept by?
Speaker B: Cal.
Speaker C: Was it Cal?
Speaker B: Probably Cal.
Speaker B: That makes sense.
Speaker A: No.
Speaker C: Was it.
Speaker C: Wait, I'll tell you in a second.
Speaker A: Wait.
Speaker A: Oregon has a baseball team.
Speaker B: We also need to remind you that Cal nearly folded their baseball team about three years ago because of budgets.
Speaker B: So they were on the brink of contraction, which, Terry, you understand well, being a twin.
Speaker A: And we told Bud Silver to go f*** himself and forced our way to stay away.
Speaker A: And then also the owner of the team ripped off all of the citizens of the state to pay for a Stadium.
Speaker A: And that's why, Buddy, let us say.
Speaker A: But that's neither here nor there.
Speaker B: Speaking of Stadium, I'm going to the game tomorrow.
Speaker B: I'll be at Ron Tok And Field, which this will probably air.
Speaker A: After JP was at the game yesterday, you guys shared the adequate amount.
Speaker A: Either way, JP had something to do with the win or the loss or the tie or the whatever that happened at Rons Hawkinfield.
Speaker A: So directly there direct your excessive reaction to a midseason game against the Portland Pilots at JP.
Speaker A: That's at the Trioj on Twitter.
Speaker C: That game is tomorrow.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: Tuesday, April 5.
Speaker B: It's like a 535.
Speaker A: Are you going with Funky Palmelina?
Speaker B: I am, yeah.
Speaker A: Is Kadonia going, too?
Speaker A: I feel like that's the game that Katonia would be at.
Speaker B: I don't know.
Speaker B: I haven't asked him.
Speaker B: I'll have to find out.
Speaker C: Also, it was Cal of sorts.
Speaker C: It was University of Cal at La.
Speaker C: So UCLA that swept Oregon.
Speaker A: I forgot that this started as an Oregon troll bit.
Speaker A: Yeah, whatever.
Speaker A: S***.
Speaker A: I don't give a s***.
Speaker A: You still lost Oregon.
Speaker B: We don't care.
Speaker A: I do give a s***.
Speaker A: Watching Oregon baseball lose, it just makes me happy.
Speaker C: An angel gets their wings every time it happens.
Speaker A: Oregon baseball.
Speaker A: Just to put this in, I think Pacific Northwest State school terms.
Speaker A: You're at a party and there's a beer pong table, and it's the type of party where you want to play beer pong and not really socialize because it's like clearly like beer pong is going to be the most fun activity here or whatever.
Speaker A: But then socializing gets cool.
Speaker A: But you have kind of already identified that beer pong is what you want to do.
Speaker A: So you just kind of like wait to get on the beer pong table for a while and then you don't get on the beer pong table, but then the party around you gets a little bit cooler and so you're just like talking s***.
Speaker A: But then you get called onto the beer pong table and oh, s***.
Speaker A: Yeah, no beer pong is the s***.
Speaker A: This is why I'm here.
Speaker A: So you abandon the rest of the party just to be on the beer pong table, and then you're s*** at beer pong.
Speaker A: And then when someone's making fun of you like a normal fun, like, hey, you went one of 108 on your shots tonight and lost ten cups to two by get off the table, Felicia.
Speaker A: And then you go, Well, I never cared about beer pong.
Speaker A: Anyway.
Speaker A: That's Oregon baseball.
Speaker B: This is the weirdest segue to women's basketball we've ever had.
Speaker A: I don't know if it's segue to women's basketball, but anyway, yes, that was clunky.
Speaker A: Kennedy Brown is leaving.
Speaker A: Greta campuser is leaving.
Speaker B: Yes.
Speaker A: F***.
Speaker A: Best of luck, ladies.
Speaker B: Best of luck.
Speaker A: I'm not willing to be like.
Speaker B: It sucks they're leaving.
Speaker B: I missed them in the program.
Speaker A: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker B: Transfer portal exists so that athletes can take advantage of opportunities that are presented.
Speaker A: I just really want to see Kennedy and Taylor together.
Speaker A: And I feel like I just never got that shot because Kenny was out most of last year.
Speaker A: Taylor was out most of this year.
Speaker A: But like our friend Tim you had said about Sasha Goforth, you had a statement today about retiring from basketball earlier than what anyone expected.
Speaker A: There's always a million things going on with these decisions, and it's hardly ever just like, oh, they didn't like the coach.
Speaker A: This hasn't been a problem.
Speaker A: And in our program, I'm just bummed.
Speaker B: Yeah, I'm bummed.
Speaker B: Greta had a ton of potential, and Kennedy was obviously a big part of the program.
Speaker B: I wouldn't be surprised, as Nick Dashl wrote in the Argonian, to see Kennedy end up at Iowa State, where her younger sister Abby has recently committed to play so they can play together, which would be really cool.
Speaker B: So I don't have any problem with that.
Speaker B: If you want to go play with family, by all means, go make that happen.
Speaker B: I think some of this has to do.
Speaker B: There are so many sides to the transfer portal, it's hard to really distill down exactly why somebody would leave.
Speaker B: I don't even think it's ever really one main factor, but in the same article that Dasho wrote about Kennedy Brown leaving was that in the Post, we've got a lot of players and we have a lot of depth and potentially big recruits coming in, too.
Speaker B: Big recruits coming in to Mia Garner and Reagan Beers, which Reagan got the best last name in the history of last names.
Speaker C: Especially for our pod.
Speaker A: Exactly.
Speaker B: Nil deal.
Speaker A: In perpetuity.
Speaker B: This is the Reagan Beer segment of the Belligerent Bees.
Speaker A: Oh, dude, the Reagan Beers segment.
Speaker B: So many bees.
Speaker B: So I could see that, too, being like, you know what?
Speaker B: I had this opportunity, and there's people coming in who I'm forecasting to my plane time.
Speaker B: And this other school is offering me a chance to start.
Speaker B: And whatever it is, there's so much to place into it.
Speaker B: I hate to see Beaver players leave any of our programs because we do invest a lot in them as Bieber fans.
Speaker B: And I don't blame them for leaving, but it's hard to detach.
Speaker B: It's like a breakup.
Speaker B: It kind of feels that way, right?
Speaker B: I don't know.
Speaker C: I think our go to or like most people's go to when someone leaves the program is like, oh, there must be something wrong with the program.
Speaker C: That's just sort of where your head goes.
Speaker C: But I think in the case of going to Iowa State to play with your sister, if that ends up being what happens and that has nothing to do with Scott Rubik or the program or the players, it could be a totally personal decision that she's been planning on doing for a while, and you can't fault her for that.
Speaker C: So it's different than some of the other transfers that we've seen, not necessarily in Oregon State, but where you see half of a basketball team transfer and you're like, okay, there's something definitely going on with the program there.
Speaker C: I don't think that's the case with Oregon State.
Speaker B: Are you Segwaying again, Vanny?
Speaker B: Because now we can talk about Med basketball because they also are seeing their fair share of transfers.
Speaker B: And it's not just transfers.
Speaker B: There's a lot of turnover as well within the program.
Speaker B: I think Steven Thompson has been relocated as some non coaching personnel role.
Speaker B: Where he is, I don't know, like an admin of sorts for the program.
Speaker C: I thought he was fired.
Speaker C: He was fired.
Speaker B: He reassigned.
Speaker B: Something else carry also been let go.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker C: And Tinkle has been coaching with rep that's going back to Montana.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker B: But he brought him in in 2014, I believe so.
Speaker B: He brought them in a while ago, and he's been a mainstay since.
Speaker B: Jinkle's really been with the program.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker C: You can read into that a lot of different ways.
Speaker C: I think Terry made a comment last week where someone has to take the fall for this.
Speaker B: So I think it's a fall for it.
Speaker B: But I wonder if this is what I've seen.
Speaker B: It says it's something a little bit bigger than that, and it's a changing of the guard, especially with Thompson being reassigned.
Speaker B: These are assistant coaches that aren't doing it anymore as much as it is.
Speaker B: These assistant coaches serve their purpose from my program, and now it's time to move to the next level.
Speaker B: I think he wanted to give them both the opportunity to come to the next level with him, and last year it worked a little bit.
Speaker B: But also Ethan was still on the team.
Speaker B: The way I read into this is this Tinkle took his loyalties that helped him build the program to where he got to this point and made a decision on who needs to stay for just perception wise, who needs to go.
Speaker B: And he said Thompson's got to stay perception wise, keep him in the program, not as a coach.
Speaker B: And Rob has got to go.
Speaker C: Do you think that the Thompson keeping Thompson in the program and not letting them go completely has anything to do with Ethan and Stevie being I think it's just a gesture.
Speaker B: I'm not going to speculate.
Speaker B: Maybe what Stephen Thompson wanted, right.
Speaker B: Maybe he's like, I'm kind of wanting to get out of coaching.
Speaker B: I want to get into the administration side of things, and that's a fair.
Speaker B: I prefer that, to be honest, it seems less stressful, but maybe that was the case.
Speaker B: I don't want to speculate too hard here, but it's been covered on the painters.
Speaker B: They talk about it a lot.
Speaker B: Marlin Stewart is a gem recruiter.
Speaker B: He's a great coach.
Speaker B: He's the guy who identified, like, Alatiche, he identified and brought in the guy from Germany who's coming in next year.
Speaker B: He's a diamond, the rough kind of recruiter who spots talent, and he was the only assistant retained.
Speaker B: So what I was alluded to at the beginning was I think this is his Tinkle being like, this is a change of the guard.
Speaker B: I'm the man at the helm.
Speaker B: And now we've built this program outside of needing, like, organic support because of family ties, and we need to bring in guys that can coach and recruit, and I think we'll see a lot more Marlin style coaches on the staff.
Speaker UNK: Good.
Speaker C: Yeah, I hope so.
Speaker C: It's going to be really interesting and we can speculate all we want and we have plenty of time to do that between now and the start of the season.
Speaker C: But I think that next season is really going to be a testament and there will be a lot that we can learn from Wayne Tinkle as a coach of how do you get the culture back with this team and how do you build the chemistry?
Speaker C: Because we talked about it in what do we call it the BFF.
Speaker C: We talked about it in the BFF about where this is obviously an issue with team chemistry.
Speaker C: The talent was there.
Speaker C: The chemistry wasn't that's up to the coach to build back.
Speaker C: And if that's going to be done by getting players out via the transfer portal and demoting or reassigning coaches and letting other coaches go, then, hey, that's great for Wayne.
Speaker C: That's what we need to see.
Speaker B: I have no lack of faith in Wayne.
Speaker B: Me neither.
Speaker B: None.
Speaker B: The guy is a born leader, and I think that players that he can identify or his staff can identify as this person will fall in line with the way you want to lead a team will make this program successful again.
Speaker B: So I'm not worried about that.
Speaker B: And I think that that was maybe a task that was too big for the assistance or some of the assistance this last season because the transfer portal is here to stay.
Speaker B: We've talked about this.
Speaker B: It's going nowhere.
Speaker B: And if Wayne and staff can't get guys to mesh or identify talent, surely off of tape and blindly offer them a position on the team and give them a scholarship or some sort of financial motivation to join the program.
Speaker B: You have to do that blindly because you can't coach and Scout.
Speaker B: This is not how College basketball is built and the transfer portal is made to reward players at the moment to move where they find their best fit.
Speaker B: And sometimes I mean, it's like a resume.
Speaker B: Like you can lie on a resume.
Speaker B: You can lie and say, I did this and this and you don't know that until you show up and you don't deliver or it doesn't work out.
Speaker B: It doesn't mesh culturally.
Speaker A: Lying on our resume is how we haveage got his job at the OSU foundation back in 2008.
Speaker B: No, I hired him.
Speaker B: He had to lie.
Speaker B: I already hired him.
Speaker C: I just put friends with JP.
Speaker A: Jp went to his higher up and said, we're closer to acquaintances, to be honest.
Speaker A: But I don't want to associate with this dude.
Speaker B: Don't bucket me with him real quick to tie it off.
Speaker B: Lucas leaving.
Speaker B: That sucks.
Speaker B: Hunt leaving.
Speaker B: That sucks.
Speaker B: We all wanted them to come back.
Speaker B: We thought they both maybe come back with how the Sean Davis news came out.
Speaker A: They all left.
Speaker A: It's like every ex girlfriend reminding you at once like, no, we all left on purpose.
Speaker B: Has anyone ever left a breakup and been worse off from it?
Speaker C: Good point.
Speaker A: Let's not go there.
Speaker B: Except for you, Terry.
Speaker A: Let's not go there.
Speaker B: You are better off from it.
Speaker B: Terry, all of your break ups.
Speaker A: This is our podcast, not my therapy session, JP.
Speaker A: But thank you.
Speaker A: No, I get your point.
Speaker A: I think we'll be better off.
Speaker A: That's valid.
Speaker A: And I do think that things do need to get worse before they can get better or at least need to be longer.
Speaker A: You do need to tear things down to truly build things back up.
Speaker B: That's like a fraternity way breaking down to build you up, Terry.
Speaker B: Spoken like a true fraternity President.
Speaker A: That's not what I was thinking at all.
Speaker A: I'm more thinking of like a frustrated Vikings fan where I'm like, we clearly need to get rid of a few pieces of high price talent.
Speaker A: But let's restructure and kick the can down the road so that we're f***** next year and maybe we went nine days Ames this year.
Speaker A: So I think thank you, Bieber FAM.
Speaker A: Thank you, Bieber Fame, for this very enlightening episode.
Speaker A: We told you it's full of bummers.
Speaker A: There's this tough s*** happening around.
Speaker B: We're proud of you for fans nonetheless.
Speaker A: Yeah, we'll see what happens next year.
Speaker A: But I don't know.
Speaker A: College basketball, it's over.
Speaker A: We're on a one year turnarounds.

Speaker B: 5 seconds at one shiny moment.
Speaker A: 5 seconds at one shining moment version.
Speaker A: Dude, I get so much s*** for this one shining moment.
Speaker A: Last year was in the top five of my Spotify raft.
Speaker UNK: Jesus.
Speaker A: Because when we were making a run to the Elite Eight, I just listened to it.
Speaker UNK: Touche.
Speaker A: I didn't listen to it much after March 2021, but I listened to it enough in March 2021 for it to be the top five songs of my Spotify for the whole year.
Speaker A: That's the type of fan I am anyway.
Speaker A: Lots to think about, lots to unpack, lots to look forward to in this episode of The Belligerent Abuse podcast, and even lots to get to.

Speaker A: They'll for sure be at least one Twitter spaces, and we'll want you to tune in for that.

Speaker A: May 11 was the day the first ever episode of Belligerent Beaves was broadcasted to the Earth and to all of you.
Speaker A: And we'd like to remind everyone it is a narrative podcast.
Speaker A: So if you're a new listener, you should probably start at the first episode.
Speaker B: But also, if you're an old listener, we have old listeners doing the same thing.
Speaker A: Exactly.
Speaker A: And figuring out how many times we mentioned Arby's in the past.
Speaker B: Yeah, that's great.
Speaker A: We are the official crossover podcast of Oregon State sports Andrea Nicotina Music and Arby's Beef and Cheddars.
Speaker A: We threw darts at the three things we loved most in life, and we are the three individuals who loves those three things more than anyone else.
Speaker A: So we'll have some stuff for the first birthday party, digital in person, whatever it is.
Speaker A: And we'll be here for the rest of the spring season as well.
Speaker A: Congratulations again to the Kansas Jayhawks on winning the men's basketball National Championship.
Speaker A: Congratulations to the South Carolina Gamecox, who won the women's NCAA basketball Championship that I was lucky enough to be in person for last night Jayhawks Gamecocks.
