Speaker C: That way.
Speaker C: I sound.
Speaker C: I don't know, trying to just make the microphone sound crispy.
Speaker A: Well, don't f*** up the microphone.
Speaker A: I know.
Speaker A: I have to worry like Ice Cube at the NFL draft on Saturday.
Speaker B: Oh, my God.
Speaker B: Yeah, that was so bad.
Speaker A: Dude.
Speaker A: The NFL draft doesn't know what it wants to be.
Speaker A: No, there is so much profit circumstances unnecessarily.
Speaker A: And then Roger Adele was like, and here's, Ice Cube Cube, come on up here.
Speaker A: And then Ice Cream just scream screamed into the mic.
Speaker A: Jp, please play 5 seconds of no Vaseline by Ice, because that's probably what you really want to wrap at Roger.
Speaker A: Goodell.
Speaker A: And since we went to almost the very end of last episode without a 5 seconds, I had to get it into the opening minutes.
Speaker C: Lean into it.
Speaker C: That's good.
Speaker A: That's how you balance it.
Speaker A: We are a balanced podcast.
Speaker A: And this balanced podcast is the Belligerent Beast Podcast.
Speaker A: Hey, listen, it's us.
Speaker A: Back for the 46th time.
Speaker A: A new episode of the Belligerent podcast episode.
Speaker C: We're not back for the 46th time.
Speaker A: We are back for the 46th time.
Speaker C: Well, we're kind of back for the 45th time.
Speaker C: It's the first time we didn't come back.
Speaker C: We just started.
Speaker A: Yeah, we were back.
Speaker B: That's like a kid saying.
Speaker A: We'Re back from the dead.
Speaker A: We're back from the non existence.
Speaker A: We're back from purgatory.
Speaker C: Okay, I made that back.
Speaker A: Back for the first time.
Speaker C: I'm into that.
Speaker A: And we did a practice episode before that kind of.
Speaker A: So therefore, the first episode was back for the second time.
Speaker A: And it was the first episode.
Speaker B: What was our practice episode?
Speaker C: My face is melting.
Speaker A: Just trying to follow along.
Speaker C: Please stop.
Speaker A: It's too much math.
Speaker A: We talked about math in the Beaver FAM Focus with Ashton BATUS.
Speaker A: So shout out Ashton at Littlebutz on Twitter, which we just recorded before this, which I am assuming is already live on YouTube.
Speaker A: If you are listening to this Beaver FAM.
Speaker A: So go check that out.
Speaker A: Thank you again to Ashton and check out the soon to be forthcoming Maybe sometime soon, fourth issue of Flagrant magazine.
Speaker A: Yeah, that was fun.
Speaker A: And it's fun to see you guys here again on a back to back second Zoom of the evening.
Speaker A: What's up?
Speaker A: How's it going?
Speaker B: What's up?
Speaker B: Hey, how's it going?
Speaker A: We are broadcasting live from the Met Gala in New York.
Speaker A: We are in with our incredible fashion.
Speaker A: Ben is already breaking out the drugs because we are past security at the Met Gala, but every bit of my gut is showing from the Belligerent piece crop top that I wore on the red carpet.
Speaker A: We are going to get kicked out of here very soon.
Speaker A: But let's enjoy this time at the Met Gala while we have it.
Speaker A: How about that?
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker C: And Benny, can I ask you a real serious question?
Speaker C: Are you able to have that whole thing in one setting?
Speaker B: Oh, God, no.
Speaker B: This is like dipped in hash oil.
Speaker B: Too.
Speaker B: That makes it way too intense for this.
Speaker B: Probably.
Speaker B: But it will be fun.
Speaker A: It's going to be really fun.
Speaker A: Is that your only beverage?
Speaker A: We'll get to beverage in a second.
Speaker A: I thought you just grabbed a can of beer as well.
Speaker A: But maybe it was your coffee mug.
Speaker B: No, I have a throwback for my beverage.
Speaker C: I wonder why that's going to be.
Speaker A: Oh, I can't wait.
Speaker A: If it's a pastor of Mickey's, I'm going to freak the f*** out.
Speaker B: Even better.
Speaker A: I can't wait.
Speaker A: Let's meet up in 2009 and hang out again.
Speaker A: How about that?
Speaker B: It is from.
Speaker B: Well, maybe a little bit later than 2009.
Speaker B: There's a specific time frame that this beverage is in reference to.
Speaker A: Okay.
Speaker C: When you tell us what it is or are we guessing now?
Speaker B: You guys mentioned it in our discord chat.
Speaker A: We mentioned a lot of things in the discord chat.
Speaker A: Thank you for finally joining the discord chat.
Speaker A: Yeah, after months of eager anticipation.
Speaker A: So have you been on the fence about joining the Patreon?
Speaker A: The kicker was, well, I hear it's only JP and Terry and mostly JP and the discord and not Benny at all.
Speaker A: So I'm not going to do it.
Speaker A: Benny's in it now and I am trying to be more active.
Speaker A: I have notifications turned off on almost everything on my phone to try and cut down screen time.
Speaker B: Not me both.
Speaker A: But I am in the discord.
Speaker A: I'm trying to engage.
Speaker A: If you add me inside the discord, I'm not going to get a notification about it, but I will check at some point and I'll try to get back to you and we'll engage.
Speaker A: So shout out to all of the Patreon members.
Speaker C: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker C: Benny joined with just the classic ASL question Mark, his first comment.
Speaker A: If we get kicked off the internet, we can't do this podcast anymore.
Speaker A: Then it's just a three way phone conversation that's going into the ether.
Speaker A: You can't type ASL to some ambiguous chat that could go to any number of people and screenshot it and sent to more people.
Speaker C: Stay safe out there on our discord.
Speaker A: No, our discord is very safe.
Speaker A: Yeah, you're right.
Speaker A: Just keep doing what you're doing.
Speaker A: Don't worry.
Speaker A: We are guaranteed to be safe on our discord.
Speaker A: Goddamnit five.
Speaker A: We're already incriminating our own show.
Speaker B: F***.
Speaker B: Stay safe out there on other discords.
Speaker A: Stay safe everywhere at all times.
Speaker A: Thank you Betty for that little bit of awareness.
Speaker A: Thank you for Beaver Fan for tuning into this, the 46th episode of the Belligerent Beavers Podcast.
Speaker A: My name is Terry Horseman.
Speaker A: I am joined, as I always am, by my esteemed cohost, J.
Speaker A: P.
Speaker A: Bertram and Benny Wehage, aka Benjamin Lawrence Sebastian Wehage, aka Benny with the Good Quoth.
Speaker A: We've got a lot to get into tonight.
Speaker A: So much going on.
Speaker A: I know it's May 2, Monday night, we're recording this middle of the NBA playoffs.
Speaker A: Nhl playoffs just started and lots of Oregon State happenings going on that we need to dive into.
Speaker A: But first, how are you guys doing?
Speaker A: What's new with you?
Speaker C: I'm doing well.
Speaker B: I was working on the railroad.
Speaker B: I was working on a front yard project of building a retaining wall this weekend.
Speaker B: You're trying so hard to out dad.
Speaker A: Jp.
Speaker C: No, I got you, though.
Speaker C: I redid my entire drip system in the backyard.
Speaker C: I was looking up YouTube videos on a drip system because my thumbs hurt so bad for plugging in all the little barbs and wires.
Speaker C: I'll send you a link.
Speaker C: I'll send you a link.
Speaker C: That makes it easier, though.
Speaker C: That would be cool.
Speaker B: Oh, really?
Speaker B: Okay.
Speaker A: In two minutes or less.
Speaker A: Can you guys explain a drip system to me?
Speaker A: When you said drip system, I thought of my closet.
Speaker A: It's like a big hose.
Speaker A: I'm going to start calling my closet my drip system.
Speaker A: Now I literally cleaned out my closet and made it look really nice.
Speaker A: This past week, you guys had drip system.
Speaker A: I'm like, oh, I'm going to start calling the room with all my clothes.
Speaker B: That that is also dadding it out just as much as JP.
Speaker A: And I did love a dad joke as possible.
Speaker A: So I'm happy to join you all on Planet dad on equal footage.
Speaker A: But a literal drip system is to me, though.
Speaker A: So I have an idea of where we're going with this.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker C: You deliver large, I don't know, quantities of water to small areas across your yard through a tubing in hose system that places the water perfectly at the base of your plants.
Speaker A: Is that good?
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker A: I wouldn't know.
Speaker A: How about fixing your drip system or setting up your drip system?
Speaker C: Well, I re ran the whole thing.
Speaker A: Rerunning your drip system.
Speaker A: I still wouldn't know the first thing about doing that, but I have a good visual now of what it's supposed to be without knowing a thing about getting it.
Speaker C: Yeah, if you want to get in the weeds.
Speaker C: I essentially last a couple of years ago, put in a quarter inch tubing, drip system.
Speaker C: We're losing every listener right now.
Speaker A: But I think we're gaining listeners.
Speaker A: Actually, this is hands on, practical, do it yourself advice.
Speaker B: I want to see how long Terry allows this conversation to go.
Speaker A: I'm excited for it.
Speaker A: I got my wine here tonight.
Speaker A: I'm having a good time.
Speaker C: Let's go.
Speaker C: So the quarter inch tubing.
Speaker C: But if you're trying to deliver that over, like, a large amount of space, I think we had like 40ft we were trying to deliver it to total yardage or footage footage in my yard.
Speaker A: BJ balers amount of yardage.
Speaker A: Sign it to relevant s***.
Speaker A: Look at us.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker C: But it was getting to the final end of the drip system, and there was no water left because the water pressure wasn't great and there was a tiny little delivery tube.
Speaker C: So I upgraded to a half inch tube this year with little quarter inch tubes plugged in off of it.
Speaker C: Also, I lost pretty much every Sprinkler head because Lola ate them all last summer as a puppy, so I had to reinstall all of them.
Speaker C: Anyways, Terry is about to like.
Speaker B: Hey, I have a question.
Speaker A: I almost laughed at half inch tube and at Sprinkler just because this is this podcast.
Speaker A: Whenever we record this podcast, it's the most immature 90 minutes of my week.
Speaker A: So you really can't say words like tube and head to me.
Speaker A: Especially with our previous 18 years of friendship.
Speaker C: Smoke on his camera right now.
Speaker A: We can't even see Benny.
Speaker C: Good Lord, this episode.
Speaker B: What if I was just gone when it came?
Speaker B: When the smoke disappeared?
Speaker A: That'd be a cool trick.
Speaker A: That'd be a super cool trick.
Speaker A: Sounds like you guys had eventful weekends.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker C: How was yours?
Speaker A: It was pretty good.
Speaker A: All things considered.
Speaker A: I watched the Timber Wolves lose game six on Friday night.
Speaker A: I was sad about that, but I went to a Taylor Swift dance party at a bar in St.
Speaker A: Paul after that and that made me feel better.
Speaker C: Tell us more.
Speaker A: There's this production company that does like, I don't know, every six months the thing called Taylor Fest, which is an organized Taylor Swift dance party.
Speaker A: It's in like ten or twelve different cities and you have to buy your ticket super far in advance.
Speaker A: So a friend of mine who loves Taylor Swift was just like, come to this dance party on April 29.
Speaker A: And I'm like, that is too far out in advance for me to make plans.
Speaker A: And they were like, well it's a ten dollar ticket.
Speaker A: I think you can afford it, which I could.
Speaker A: I'm balling and then like the day of the game, the day of he was like, hey, Ashton and his girlfriend Ashley, they are super entertainous.
Speaker A: They're like, we're going at eight and like that's when the Temples game starts.
Speaker A: F***, how light does it go?
Speaker A: They're like dance party goes until two and I was like, either or I'm there.
Speaker A: I'm either going to be crying and drowning my sorrows of a Timberl's loss and shaking it off or I will be celebrating a Tim Rules win and having champagne problems.
Speaker A: So either way, JP, please take 5 seconds to shake it off by Taylor Swift.
Speaker A: That's what I did on Friday night.
Speaker A: The Timber Wolves lost but I was in good hands.
Speaker A: And then the next morning I was more hungover than actually it was the worst hungover I've had since College.
Speaker A: Probably.
Speaker A: It was weird.
Speaker A: I watched the game at a brewery so I was drinking good beer while watching the game and not eating enough because it wasn't a restaurant.
Speaker A: So like there's like a food truck and I like had bits of like apps that like my table was like getting to share.
Speaker A: So the mix of heavy beer, not heavy food.
Speaker A: Temporal is losing and being up until 230 or 03:00 a.m.
Speaker A: Turns out not to be the greatest thing for your body.
Speaker B: But you're not 25.
Speaker A: I know I'm not.
Speaker A: But the Timber in the playoffs, Benny and I don't have a ton of experience reacting to such a situation.
Speaker A: So I'm learning here.
Speaker A: Like we said when they gave up three different double digit leads in the fourth quarter, this is a young team without a lot of experience.
Speaker A: They need to learn how to play in the playoffs.
Speaker A: I need to learn how to watch my team in the playoffs.
Speaker A: God d*** it.
Speaker C: I was 16 years old last time this happened.
Speaker B: For real game, would you say not to go away from what you're very passionate about?
Speaker B: Obviously.
Speaker B: But was the Taylor Swift also passionate?
Speaker B: Was that like a flash mob that you paid for?
Speaker C: Was it a silent disco?
Speaker A: No, it was like they rented out a bar, like an event space.
Speaker A: A bar that has concerts and s***.
Speaker C: Was it every Swift?
Speaker A: Every song was Taylor Swift.
Speaker C: Didn't I get old after like a half hour?
Speaker C: That's like ten times, probably in a row.
Speaker B: I just played off their Spotify or something.
Speaker A: Probably there was a stage.
Speaker A: I went up and danced on the stage for a little bit.
Speaker C: So when do we get to do the five second party where we just played 5 seconds of all of the songs?
Speaker A: I love this song.
Speaker C: Hey, what the f***?
Speaker C: I love the song.
Speaker A: Oh, I like this song too.
Speaker A: I wouldn't call it a flash mob because it was like, I don't know and maybe it would have gotten old.
Speaker A: But the Wolves game ended at like eleven.
Speaker A: So I got there ahead of midnight.
Speaker A: So I was only there for an hour and a half.
Speaker C: We went somewhere after 11:00 P.m..
Speaker C: I can't even imagine.
Speaker C: I got to wake up and do my drip system.
Speaker C: Man, I can't be out.
Speaker B: I was building a wall, right?
Speaker A: Well, as a single man in an apartment in the city, my drip system does wake up at 11:00 P.m..
Speaker A: My drip system and I go out.
Speaker A: We're in different phases right here.
Speaker A: But no, I hear you.
Speaker A: I was very tired the next day and I left my apartment to get food and I didn't know where I was going.
Speaker A: I was like, F***, I need food.
Speaker A: I need to eat.
Speaker A: I had been in the grocery store in a while.
Speaker A: I had nothing in my apartment and a DoorDash of like a Taco Bell party pack had been left at the front door of my apartment building.
Speaker A: I genuinely considered stealing it because my body was like, that's what we need right now, Terry.
Speaker A: This will make our day better.
Speaker C: It's just sitting all the time.
Speaker A: It's just sitting there.
Speaker A: There is like two Terry's and double costumes just on my shoulder being like, Take a Terry.
Speaker A: It's like $12.
Speaker A: They can just order another DoorDash.
Speaker A: But I did it.
Speaker C: Doordash will cover it anyways.
Speaker A: They'd be like, oh.
Speaker C: Yeah, we must have had it dropped off somewhere else.
Speaker C: Yes, I should have.
Speaker A: I went to Jimmy John's instead.
Speaker A: It still works.
Speaker C: Jimmy Johns has one cheese.
Speaker C: What kind of shop only has one cheese?
Speaker B: They do, right?
Speaker A: Well, in that setting, yeah.
Speaker A: But I compared it to Taco Bell.
Speaker A: I think Taco Bell has one cheese and I don't think they're cheese.
Speaker C: They have two shredded cheddar cheese or whatever the blend.
Speaker C: Cheddar.
Speaker B: Neither of them talk about just the shredded cheddar melted.
Speaker B: They're two different cheeses.
Speaker C: Yeah, it is.
Speaker C: Can I ask you a question though?
Speaker C: Circling back to NBA circling back to the playoffs?
Speaker A: Yes.
Speaker C: Can you tell the Bieber FAM right now who the preemptive favorite of the Beaver FAM should be going forward through the rest of the NBA playoffs?
Speaker C: Now that you are unbiased viewing, I can.
Speaker A: Well, we're still human beings are always biased, JP.
Speaker A: It's part of the experience of being people.
Speaker A: But I had a hard time saying this is because it feels like you're being a front runner when you're not associated with the native land of this team.
Speaker A: But I am fully supporting the warriors of Golden State for the duration of the NBA playoffs for this series against the Memphis Grizzlies and beyond for I have multiple reasons that I can bring up, but there's really only one important reason or two important reasons.
Speaker A: The second most important reason is Gary Payton II, pun intended.
Speaker A: That's the second most important reason.
Speaker A: We love GP two.
Speaker A: He's our beloved son, probably my favorite Oregon State basketball player of all time.
Speaker A: I love his father, Gary Payton, but I was barely alive in Minneapolis without Oregon State basketball being a glint in my eye when he played for the Beast, so I appreciate everything he did.
Speaker A: I enjoyed his son's time more because I could drink, I could watch him dunk.
Speaker A: It was a lot of fun.
Speaker A: Also, just this guy's journey in the NBA.
Speaker A: Honestly, I think the Beaver family and Oregon University celebrates GP Two a good amount and I don't think it's nearly enough.
Speaker A: This dude the journey through the G League, being on a bunch of different teams and most of my Twitter friends are Blazer fans.
Speaker A: Not to rub it in, Benny, but like all Blazer fans, re remembering that they had GP Two and he's a player that really could have helped the team this year and this franchise.
Speaker A: Like turning around just this tenacious defense and all out effort and just being a team first guy, it is awesome that he is a contributing player on a team.
Speaker C: He's a starter.
Speaker A: Nba Finals aspirations.
Speaker A: Even.
Speaker A: Like, I know the warriors have had a lot of health problems this year and that's like why he's got an opportunity to test.
Speaker A: That's the game.
Speaker A: That's the game.
Speaker A: And even if that team gets fully healthy, you think Kurz is not going to put him in the game at all.
Speaker A: So that's the second most important reason.
Speaker A: The most important reason is f*** Dylan Brooks.
Speaker A: F*** him.
Speaker C: I see him.
Speaker A: He played amazing against the Timber Wolves.
Speaker A: I will give him that good player.
Speaker A: F*** him.
Speaker A: And that is why I'm so happy.
Speaker A: He's just a douchebag.
Speaker A: He's just a wannabe Patrick Beverly with shittier hair.
Speaker B: Did you say his name was Dylan Moore?
Speaker A: No, I said Dylan Moore.
Speaker C: Dylan Brooks.
Speaker C: No one said Moore.
Speaker B: Brooks.
Speaker A: How high are you?
Speaker B: That would be my answer.
Speaker A: I hate Dylan Brooks.
Speaker A: And Dylan Brooks doesn't care.
Speaker A: He wants to be a villain.
Speaker A: Whatever.
Speaker A: Dylan Brooks is trying so hard to be Draymond.
Speaker A: It's annoying.
Speaker A: Draymond is too annoying for there to be another Draymond in the League.
Speaker A: There can only be one Draymond.
Speaker B: Oh, he went to Oregon.
Speaker B: That's why I don't know who he is.
Speaker A: Boom, roasted you again.
Speaker B: F******.
Speaker A: Let's go.
Speaker A: So, yeah, I'm supporting Golden State and GP Two.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: Played pretty well in that game one win against Memphis, which is the rest of Memphis.
Speaker C: I like.
Speaker A: I like John Morant.
Speaker A: If there's any Grizzlies fans randomly listening to this, you just want to roast me for being the Timber Wolves.
Speaker A: You guys are the better team.
Speaker A: Fun team to watch.
Speaker A: I like the Memphis goodlies.
Speaker A: I kind of always have.
Speaker A: But from the grit and grind days, but got a roll with the Beaver FAM.
Speaker A: And that's GP two.
Speaker C: Stay low to the fan.
Speaker C: Yeah, let's cheers to GP Two because you got that start, dude.
Speaker C: Game one for sure.
Speaker A: We got to do our beverages first and then we'll cheers to GP two.
Speaker A: And it's about that time.
Speaker A: So, Benny, we'll let you go last because you have a classic.
Speaker A: Okay, I think I know what it is.
Speaker A: Jp, let's go with you.
Speaker A: What are you drinking tonight?
Speaker C: So this is still remnant of my road beers.
Speaker C: Pdx delivery.
Speaker A: Nice.
Speaker C: And I was actually much more under the impression that a lot of these were like local Oregon beers.
Speaker C: But this is another one that's not from Oregon.
Speaker C: It's from Bellingham, Washington called.
Speaker A: Bellingham.
Speaker C: There it is.
Speaker C: It's called Single IPA.
Speaker C: But I like your eyeball.
Speaker C: Single eye.
Speaker A: And that is a creature with antlers and an eye patch.
Speaker A: So it has one eye and it's kind of a creepy little eye right sidecloth of nature.
Speaker C: It might be a fake eye, Benny.
Speaker C: It very well could be, but yeah, it's a single IPA.
Speaker C: That's actually what it is.
Speaker C: It's called Single IPA and it's a single IPA from Wander Brewing in Bellingham, Washington.
Speaker C: Do you guys want to know what it says about it?
Speaker C: This hazy Orange hue Citra single hopped IPA bursts with massive aromas of passion fruit, pineapple and stone fruits.
Speaker C: Complimentary?
Speaker C: Oh, no.
Speaker C: Complemented by a full mouthfeel from the heavy use of oats and wheat.
Speaker C: Incredibly approachable and lightly bitter.
Speaker C: It's kind of like me.
Speaker A: You are bitter and approachable.
Speaker A: That's a great way of describing you.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker C: And I didn't know that until I just read this on Untapped.
Speaker C: No, I gave it a 3.9.
Speaker C: It's pretty good.
Speaker C: It's a little too single IPAE for me, but cheers.
Speaker B: Well, that's what it says.
Speaker A: That's exactly what it says.
Speaker C: I know I expected it, but it's just a little too much in that world.
Speaker A: Okay.
Speaker B: Is that not hoppy enough?
Speaker B: Is that what that means?
Speaker C: Yeah, kind of.
Speaker B: It's just a little watery, like skim milk.
Speaker B: If you're a big fan, it is dairy.
Speaker C: Yes.
Speaker C: And I am a big fan of dairy.
Speaker A: Me too.
Speaker A: I love dairy.
Speaker C: Are we all, like, vitamin D level whole milk people?
Speaker B: Gary makes fun of me because I have my cereal with half and half.
Speaker C: Yeah, it's so good.
Speaker B: If you've never had cereal, specifically Cinnamon Life with half and half, you have missed something incredible in life.
Speaker C: Just before or after you roast the joint with a massive lighter.
Speaker B: If I ate that, it would be like I took ecstasy as I was eating.
Speaker B: That is life changing.
Speaker A: Does the bowl of Cinnamon Life also sit in hash oil for a while before it gets to continue, or is that just the joint?
Speaker B: That's just the joint.
Speaker A: Okay, well, as we mentioned before and on the BFF that we recorded before this, it's wine night in my house tonight because I wanted it to be.
Speaker A: And I have a nice bottle of wine from California.
Speaker B: Whoa.
Speaker A: Gold Rush Red.
Speaker A: Let me find the name of Barrel 1000 Stories because we tell a thousand stories and more on this podcast.
Speaker A: Barrel age old Rush.
Speaker A: Shred.
Speaker A: Thousand stories.
Speaker A: Vineyards, Hopland, Mendocino County, California.
Speaker C: Mendocino.
Speaker A: Mendocino.
Speaker C: Okay, close Midwestern pronunciation.
Speaker A: It's described as the California Goldrush was a period of courage, bravado, and curiosity.
Speaker A: I guess there's only one person at this one.
Speaker A: Craft Gold Rush Red.
Speaker A: With these characteristics in mind.
Speaker A: The grapes used to blend this bold wine are carefully selected from the Golden Hills and valleys of California.
Speaker A: It is finished in bourbon barrels, which complements this rich wine with notes of charred vanilla and dried herbs.
Speaker C: Where the h*** did you find this?
Speaker C: I don't know.
Speaker A: So Megan Maloney Vince, my co editor at the Under Review, came over this past week because we had a meeting, and it was actually the first time she'd been to my apartment since I moved here over a year ago.
Speaker A: So she's like, here's a very, very belated house for me.
Speaker A: And it was this and a six pack of Hams.
Speaker A: And I figured this was classier for the podcast.
Speaker A: And also I had a rare time where I actually made a nice meal for my Siphos.
Speaker B: As.
Speaker A: I made some salmon with asparagus and a fruit salad.
Speaker A: They're not crazy, but just nice at night for dinner.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker B: Love salmon.
Speaker B: Yeah, salmon.
Speaker A: You got to.
Speaker A: I mean, I've always liked salmon, but I miss eating it a lot more because I'm like, man, you got to get that protein.
Speaker A: But also, we're getting older, and I just got two new crop tops.
Speaker A: Crop tops.
Speaker A: It's not brand new.
Speaker A: I have one crop top.
Speaker A: It's more than enough.
Speaker A: Trust me.
Speaker A: You don't need to take my word for it.
Speaker A: It's on the socials now.
Speaker A: God d*** it.
Speaker A: F****** Andre outed me and my gut today.
Speaker A: But I got two new cast iron pans, so I wanted to make some stove top salmon recipe for cast iron that I've been wanting to try.
Speaker C: You smush the pans together so you have one on top of one on the bottom, or why is two pans necessary here?
Speaker A: Because no one was bigger than the other.
Speaker C: Did you use both of them at the same time?
Speaker A: No, I used the smaller one because it was big enough for the salmon that I was making and easier to clean and logistically.
Speaker C: Just much more realistic.
Speaker C: I get it.
Speaker A: Yes.
Speaker A: And I didn't spend a ton of time on Amazon looking at the Catherine.
Speaker A: So thank you.
Speaker B: F*** you.
Speaker B: I spent a lot of time on Amazon.
Speaker A: No, I try to spend less.
Speaker A: No offense, but I still bought them.
Speaker A: I still bought them from gave Amazon my business, you f***.
Speaker C: Hey, did you know that the guy who made your wine, you know what his name is?
Speaker A: No.
Speaker B: Mugabe?
Speaker C: No.
Speaker C: This can't be a real name.
Speaker C: We talked about on the BFF that Travis Throckmorton may or may not be a real name.
Speaker C: And it may or may not be German for something.
Speaker C: This guy's name.
Speaker C: Who made your purple wine?
Speaker A: Travis Mortem.
Speaker C: Bob Blue.
Speaker A: I buy it.
Speaker C: I've never met anyone with the last name Blue.
Speaker C: Blue.
Speaker A: We had the Vikings had a safety from Georgia, Greg Blue, for a couple of years.
Speaker C: Have you met somebody?
Speaker A: Okay, I haven't met anyone, but I was aware of that.
Speaker C: Dude out Blue.
Speaker A: Alfred Blue on the Houston Texans.
Speaker A: You probably started them on your f****** fantasy team because you were terrible for a few years there.
Speaker C: Me?
Speaker C: No, it was not.
Speaker C: So yes, I know.
Speaker A: I've known of two NFL players with the last name Blue.
Speaker C: Well, there's also Vita Blue.
Speaker A: I name a kid.
Speaker B: If you have a last name, that's one syllable.
Speaker B: You shouldn't name your kid starting with the same letter of your last name.
Speaker A: His real name has got to be Robert.
Speaker C: I just Googled Bob Blue and it just is a bunch of pictures of Blue women's wigs.
Speaker A: Why is that funny?
Speaker A: It is, though.
Speaker C: It's hilarious.
Speaker B: I have a squirt.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: For those of you that don't know, before the days of podcasting, JP and I had a different.
Speaker A: Video.
Speaker A: Different a budding career.
Speaker C: Social media acting career.
Speaker B: Yes.
Speaker B: If you don't know, look up squirtvid.
Speaker B: What is the link?
Speaker B: Squirtvig blog.
Speaker C: I feel like we're going to get a lot of people in trouble going to the wrong URL.
Speaker B: No, that's part of the fun of it is it's hard to find, but when you find it, it's worth it.
Speaker B: Video that we posted about incorporating our favorite drink, Squirt.
Speaker B: And then we made a rap video or a rap song about it, too.
Speaker C: You know what?
Speaker C: I found it.
Speaker C: All the videos are private now, unfortunately, because they were unlisted.
Speaker C: I can make them unlisted again.
Speaker A: You got to join the Patreon because Wiki have been posted in the discord.
Speaker C: But I have to say, if you did want to see that there is a real website, that this was official.
Speaker C: You want to answer questions to your employer or your family or your friends or children.
Speaker A: What about our employers and our families?
Speaker A: And you're linking this to the three of us?
Speaker C: You could go to nothing to do with these videos.
Speaker C: You could go to Squirtvideos blogspot.com.
Speaker C: And that exists.
Speaker B: That's what I was looking for.
Speaker A: I hope you've been enjoying this very last episode of the Belligerent Beauty Podcast.
Speaker A: We have been canceled by the time you are listening to this, Benny is in jail, JP is missing, and I'm awaiting trial.
Speaker A: I have to ask with a terrible idea.
Speaker A: I'm so sorry we did it and I'm sorry for wasting your time.
Speaker A: Thank you, Beaver FAM.
Speaker A: Remember, you can't spell Chopping without.
Speaker C: I have to say that we had a Twitter account for about 48 hours before Betty got it canceled.
Speaker A: I did.
Speaker B: I forgot about that telling you.
Speaker C: And the handle was at Squirt videos that would be so valuable in today's Twitter world.
Speaker C: This was eleven years ago.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker B: Oh, man.
Speaker C: You blew it, baby.
Speaker B: Squirt blew it.
Speaker C: They had an opportunity.
Speaker C: We did tell them we were guerrilla marketing for them.
Speaker C: They ignored all of our efforts.
Speaker B: They ignored it.
Speaker A: So cheers to Gary Payton II, Oregon State men's basketball Alum and the Golden State Warriors.
Speaker B: Cheers.
Speaker A: Go, Beaves.
Speaker A: Shout out men's Basketball Shout Out to pay it near his podcast.
Speaker A: Any chance you can get to talk positively about Oregon State men's basketball, Gary Payton II?
Speaker C: And on to the next statement.
Speaker A: Moving on.
Speaker A: I'd like to remind the listener.
Speaker C: Speaking of.
Speaker A: Yeah, we have a very special occasion coming up.
Speaker A: We are recording this on Monday, May 2, a week from this.
Speaker A: Wednesday, Wednesday, May 11.
Speaker A: It is our first birthday.
Speaker A: We are turning one and the collective maturity of the Bubbais is about the same age.
Speaker A: So we are having an active party on Twitter spaces to commemorate this.
Speaker A: Many of you participated in our holiday party, Twitter Spaces ahead of the La Bowl.
Speaker A: It'll be similar to that, but we were getting some Oregon State experts and personalities to join us and it's going to be a really fun time and we'll just keep it going.
Speaker A: Turning up on a Wednesday until we feel like going to bed.
Speaker A: It will be starting at 08:00 P.m..
Speaker A: Pacific Time on Wednesday, May 11.
Speaker A: Have we figured out how to schedule out spaces?
Speaker A: Just stay tuned to our Twitter account.
Speaker A: We'll keep posting it and reminding you all as insufferably as we want to do.
Speaker A: But Wednesday, May 11, we're turning one.
Speaker A: We made it a full year of podcasting, I feel is not an insignificant amount of time.
Speaker A: I think a lot of podcasts start and die in that time, and we could have killed this and probably should have numerous times.
Speaker A: But we have.
Speaker A: And maybe the US government will step in and make that decision for us.
Speaker A: That is TBD.
Speaker A: But in the meantime, we are going to celebrate our first birthday wildly with all of our friends and FAM on Twitter spaces again Wednesday, May 11, the anniversary of our first episode dropping starting at 08:00 P.m.
Speaker A: Pacific Time.
Speaker A: Please join us.
Speaker A: It'll be fun.
Speaker C: Please join us.
Speaker A: Yeah, there'll be a time, too.
Speaker A: We're just going to open up the mics and we're going to let people talk at a certain point as well, too.
Speaker A: So if you got any grievances to air, you can treat this like a festivist.
Speaker A: More than a birthday if you want to.
Speaker A: Benny is always trying to get spicy with it.
Speaker C: Can we tease anyone that's confirmed to be joining us for the more structured portion of the birthday?
Speaker A: I don't want to tease any exact names.
Speaker A: Well, I'll tease one name.
Speaker A: So Ashton Batuso, who just joined us for the Beaver FAM focus.
Speaker A: The BFF will be sort of an honorary co host and helping us move through the evening.
Speaker A: So shout out Ashton.
Speaker A: Way more followers than the three of us combined.
Speaker A: So.
Speaker A: H*** yeah.
Speaker C: What about Andre, though?
Speaker A: Andre's got her.
Speaker A: Yes, I said the three of us.
Speaker A: Andre is not in on the Zoom, but Andre will be probably silently observing, but he'll be around.
Speaker A: We've got some former football players, some other current personalities.
Speaker A: You're just going to have to wait and see, though.
Speaker A: I'm not doing that just to be like, oh, we have some DLIST, F List Ellist, whatever.
Speaker A: That's not the order that those letters appear.
Speaker A: But anyway, we've got some heavy hitters coming, so get excited.
Speaker A: People who have made plays for Oregon State Athletics, leave it at that.
Speaker A: Plays on them.
Speaker A: The field of competition.
Speaker C: Yes.
Speaker C: And even if you haven't, we're going to open the mics up.
Speaker C: It's going to be fun because we've never done that.
Speaker C: The only play we made on the field, the competition was when Benny ran into me in a squirt video and knocked me on my a** at the 50 yard line of Research Stadium.
Speaker B: Our minds are on the same wavelength.
Speaker B: I was thinking about that, too.
Speaker C: And you can find that video exclusively in the discord.
Speaker A: Give us your money to watch Ben tackle JP in my underwear.
Speaker A: Yeah, in his underwear.
Speaker A: It's pretty good with shoes on, though that may have been the best one that you guys made from a production standpoint.
Speaker C: Yeah, I do want to clarify.
Speaker A: The narrative was very compelling.
Speaker A: We need to start talking about actual things before this gets too out of hand.
Speaker C: This is an actual thing.
Speaker C: But you're right.
Speaker A: We'll tease it.
Speaker C: We'll tease it.
Speaker A: So, yeah, if you are of the Patriot.
Speaker A: That's what's waiting for you.
Speaker A: Yes.
Speaker A: Well, that's the carrot.
Speaker A: The biggest thing we should probably talk about.
Speaker C: You get a carrot.
Speaker A: Oh, we got to talk about Nil deals.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker A: Nil deals is what's controlling sort of the College sports landscape right now.
Speaker A: Jp, can you tell me more about this?
Speaker A: This is a tweet from Nick Dashall, it looks like.
Speaker C: Well, shout out to Nick Dashl for some investigative reporting on the Nil from Oregon State, but he has uncovered a plan that the athletic Department is intending to put into place where they are able to pay athletes slightly under $6,000 per year for academic performance.
Speaker C: And I know that Benny has been a big proponent of Nil and using it to attract not just great students, but student athletes.
Speaker C: And to me, for a school that actually does fairly well, at least what I have perceived when it comes to academics and athletics, this is a great incentive, especially for students who may be on some sort of like partial scholarship or walk on to know.
Speaker C: Yeah, it could be a preferred walk on somewhere and still potentially get $6,000 a year to cover the cost of whatever I want because I just went to class and did my best in school.
Speaker C: I think it's really cool.
Speaker C: This is a changing tide of College athletics.
Speaker C: There's so much more that's to come.
Speaker C: I think with Nil, this is the first time I think that for me, I've felt some sort of close association to it because this is a University offering at Nil deal to its own student athletes.
Speaker C: Essentially, it's not a car dealership covering an offensive lineman's tuition or books.
Speaker C: Right.
Speaker C: This is literally the school athletic Department being like, how can we get on the forefront of this?
Speaker C: How can we be creative on designating funds to our student athletes and enticing them to be great Beavers on and off the field and pitch and court, whatever?
Speaker C: And I think it's great.
Speaker C: I think this is a big deal.
Speaker C: This is showing that Oregon State's forward thinking in this regards.
Speaker C: And again, this is the infancy of Nil, but we're already trying to do what we can to take advantage of it for our athletes.
Speaker C: I think that's really cool.
Speaker A: It's pretty active for sure.
Speaker B: I agree with you.
Speaker B: I think it's pretty obvious at this point that the schools that resist paying athletes are going to be the ones that get left behind the dust.
Speaker B: I think that it's pretty obvious that schools being able to pay athletes is going to be coming down the pipeline at some point.
Speaker B: I agree with you that Nil is just going to expand from this point on.
Speaker B: I think from a recruiting standpoint, it benefits Oregon State for the time being.
Speaker B: Now, if we get into a D*** measuring contest with some of the bigger schools that have more money to give, that probably won't bode well for them.
Speaker B: But I think at the end of the day, there's something to take about Oregon State being a school that agreed to pay athletes and fought and brought it to find a way to pay their athletes.
Speaker B: Our student athletes before they were told they had to.
Speaker B: I think you're going to find that a lot of schools do resist this and don't want to pay their athletes.
Speaker B: And at the end of the day, why would you be against I mean, the athletes are the reason why the school is making as much money as what they are.
Speaker B: So I think that you want to have an affiliation with the school that is wanting to make those right decisions before they're forced into it.
Speaker C: Yes, I totally agree with that.
Speaker C: And I think the part of this that's going to be interesting is how do you make Nil a platform for your student athletes?
Speaker C: And I think Oregon State's got some pieces in place that they need to figure out.
Speaker C: How do we start this process as soon as possible to get our student athletes paid, to get them investing the money wisely, to get them prepared to use the money, their name, image, lightness, whatever it might be, whatever they're studying outside of their sport and after school, after their plane days are done, and they've got some of those components.
Speaker C: Right.
Speaker C: We've talked to Alexis Stern, and he's doing the beyond football.
Speaker C: He's the director of Beyond Football for Oregon State, and he's helping play students after they're playing careers in great jobs that are suited to their interests.
Speaker C: But I think there's a bridge that needs to be gapped, and I think it needs to be bridged.
Speaker C: If you look at great, you give a freshman $6,000 because they got a three point or higher.
Speaker C: That freshman should do whatever they want with that money, period.
Speaker C: They should be able to.
Speaker C: But as a University, if you're trying to entice a student, we're going to help you spend that wisely, to enjoy the money, but also to the future and forward thinking to prepare yourself not just with the $6,000 burning a hole in your wallet, but what happens in years to come when we helped place you in a role after your playing days and you've got extra income to burn.
Speaker C: And I think that to me as saying, like, you come here, you're going to be prepared to deal with money and have money at your disposal is so much bigger than any school that's just offering or any sort of Nil deal that's offering some big time athletes, like six figure deals or seven figure deals in that case.
Speaker A: Right.
Speaker A: And that's always been a question, too, even long before Nil deals, too.
Speaker A: It's just teaching athletes how to manage the money that they would one day either earn or hope to earn, just with the level of especially the NFL, just how the rate of players who go bankrupt after their careers are over, because it's like people who have never had that kind of money before and then have no one in place to help them manage it, and they just keep doing it on and on and on.
Speaker A: Obviously, that problem is not going to fix itself.
Speaker A: So adding, I've seen people talk about having courses and classes taught by agents and things like that.
Speaker B: But I mean, if you're taught by economic professionals.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker A: I mean, people who have experience in the sports industry specifically for it.
Speaker A: But also it's like, if you're like, all right, I'm going to earn this to help me either with tuition or books or food or lifestyle or whatever.
Speaker A: And the University is putting me in a good place to be successful with that money.
Speaker A: Like already at a younger age.
Speaker A: That's a huge incentive.
Speaker A: And we think of it through football because that's the big money sport that we just can't deny.
Speaker A: But yeah, I hope that would extend across to other sports as well.
Speaker A: And so it's at the very worst, just like helping kids get through school, pursue their sport and get an education, and even more so, helping future NFL errs and highly paid athletes get the skills and tools to be successful financially during their playing career and beyond.
Speaker A: So shout out to Oregon State for doing this.
Speaker C: Yeah, I'm very curious to see where it goes.
Speaker C: They haven't laid on a number yet.
Speaker C: I think the Max they can do is at 6000 or 59 80, whatever it is.
Speaker A: I think that's reasonable.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker C: But that's still $500 a month.
Speaker C: Right.
Speaker C: And depending on where you are in your life, it could be a lot or a significant amount of money.
Speaker A: Definitely.
Speaker C: When you were in College, 500 extra dollars per month of disposable income is huge.
Speaker C: It's like a 50 fold of what you normally have.
Speaker A: It happens every year where there's like a dude who's a walk on and doesn't get to eat for free in the dining hall because it's a walk on and not a full scholarship player.
Speaker A: And they talk like they'll eventually work their way to gain a scholarship and then they can just eat in the dining hall and not have to ration every f****** meal.
Speaker A: That shouldn't be happening in D one sports to any student who's on the team.
Speaker A: That should not be a thing.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker C: The total plan could cost the University $2 million.
Speaker C: $2 million, which sounds like a lot of money to us in Oregon State's endowment.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker A: Look at the book for a billion.
Speaker C: It's nothing in that endowment.
Speaker A: Probably football.
Speaker A: I don't know the exact numbers.
Speaker C: But this is across all sports.
Speaker A: This is all sports across all sports.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker C: But still, this does level that kind of playing field of like, yeah, who's generating the revenue and instead is rewarding student athletes across the entire University.
Speaker C: And I think that's actually great.
Speaker C: Honestly, if you're about to go to University and they're like, yeah, we've got nil stuff set up for football, but not you.
Speaker C: Soccer player.
Speaker C: Right.
Speaker C: You're going to be like, I don't care how good your coaching staff is in your facilities are.
Speaker C: You clearly don't care about me or the program I would be joining.
Speaker C: But if they're like, no, we're going to give you the same opportunity to earn money for your academic performance by being an athlete at the school, as somebody that plays a sport that generates more revenue.
Speaker C: Clearly, as a 17, 1819 old student, you'd be like, they take me seriously.
Speaker B: Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker A: We'll see how it turns out.
Speaker A: I can't wait to keep following this.
Speaker A: If they actually get it in place.
Speaker B: It would be a cool thing for the University to do.
Speaker B: I don't know what the incentive would necessarily be or how the players could act on the incentive, but instead of having a fixed number do a percent of the money that the athletic Department as a whole brings in through like, tickets and merchandise and concessions and whatever, to just get the student athletes invested in the other sports and having them be successful, too.
Speaker B: They just be an interesting way to do it.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker C: Like some camaraderie around the different sports and their performance kind of drives your bonus as well.
Speaker C: One thing I've noticed and this is in the Dashboard article, and I think that this is something that we can just leave as a cliffhanger because we don't delve into deep.
Speaker C: But the school is considering tying the bonus to if you complete your College career with Oregon State instead of transferring out of the University.
Speaker C: So while there might be some who knows how they'll break it up, I would imagine that the right way to do this would be to provide some sort of bonus performance bonus, academic performance bonus while they are taking classes and then earmarking half of it once they graduate or complete their eligibility.
Speaker C: Oregon State, that's a great retainer play.
Speaker C: Great retainer play.
Speaker C: And I'm curious to see where they go with that especially.
Speaker B: Yeah, I could see it both ways.
Speaker B: I agree with you that I think that it is a retainer and it's a good way to get those players or student athletes that are on the fence of maybe I'm going to transfer, but I'm not sure that would definitely be a magnet to keep them at the school.
Speaker B: But at the same time, it's like if you're going to pay the players, just pay them, right?
Speaker UNK: Yeah.
Speaker C: I mean, I agree with that.
Speaker C: It depends what the University is, though.
Speaker C: And I think the structure of this will be how my intrigue is lies within how do these different programs and universities structure these kind of deals?
Speaker C: Because what if some of these places are like, yeah, you could transfer here, but Nil is off the board for you because they recruited out of high school.
Speaker C: Or if you were and you did not choose a University, you went somewhere else and didn't work out and you transferred, are you still eligible for this kind of bonus?
Speaker C: Right.
Speaker C: It will be very circumstantial, I think, when we look at how this stuff is structured.
Speaker C: And while I agree.
Speaker C: Yeah, like just pay them, I don't think that they should eat into their pay to try to retain them.
Speaker C: But I do think that a school like Oregon State should definitely reward loyalty, for sure.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker C: Anyway, speaking of loyalty and getting paid.
Speaker A: We had the NFL draft this weekend and some guys are about to get paid in total.
Speaker A: I'll start with the optimistic part of this.
Speaker A: Seven Oregon State players had deals signed or agreed to over the weekend.
Speaker A: The important number there is seven.
Speaker A: If we're going to be cutting numbers, it's one drafted.
Speaker A: Shoutout to Tea and Crittoriano.
Speaker A: Oregon State tied in drafted by the Houston Texans 170th overall in the fifth round.
Speaker A: The only Oregon State player here in his name called during the draft.
Speaker A: But shortly after that, six more Beaver football players quickly agreed to undrafted free agent deals across the League.
Speaker A: And you might think one drafted six re agents.
Speaker A: Whatever.
Speaker A: Like that's a third or fourth of what Alabama and Georgia are doing.
Speaker A: And that's fine.
Speaker A: That's right.
Speaker A: Whatever.
Speaker A: After Smith's first year, 20180, not a single, not a single player drafted, not a single UDFA deal.
Speaker A: And this is a record then.
Speaker A: So since then, those five years or three years per dashable, five, four and seven this year that I think is a pretty good and clear sign of things moving in the right direction is both having and developing NFL talent.
Speaker A: And let's start with Tegan, first of all, as the one who got drafted.
Speaker A: Shout out.
Speaker C: Congrats.
Speaker A: Even though his numbers weren't eye popping like the Bees did not treat him like Gronk in their offense last year.
Speaker A: But clearly a dude with NFL athleticism, NFL size.
Speaker A: The Texans are whatever, but I'm excited for him because there is opportunity there.
Speaker A: I might need to watch a bunch of Texans games because I think if Cooks is still there, Cooks is going to just eat.
Speaker A: He's going to be the number one receiver.
Speaker A: But now I remember.
Speaker A: So I was going to still there.
Speaker C: He just sent an extension.
Speaker A: He's not leaving.
Speaker B: Yeah, okay.
Speaker A: But I mean, it's just who knows with the Texans?
Speaker A: I was about to say I wasn't as into the NFL draft as I have been in previous dudes.
Speaker A: Do you guys remember me in College?
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker A: I was going to follow that up with, well, the draft Sims I did on Pro Football Focus mock draft simulator.
Speaker A: So I was still doing that.
Speaker A: Just not the same degree.
Speaker A: But what was funny about the Texans is I was, of course doing drafts as like the Vikings, and then I was trying to do a couple of other teams just out of curiosity and they do this thing where it's like team needs.
Speaker A: So it's like Vikings, like guard, edge rusher corners, like Niners, whatever.
Speaker A: Two, three positions the Texans team needs were just every position, that's all.
Speaker A: Draft preview Robert May said the Texans just need actual football players.
Speaker A: They're still going to be bad, but it wouldn't be crazy if he's tied into one by like week two.
Speaker B: That would be sick.
Speaker A: Won't be, but he's going to get the opportunity to play a lot.
Speaker A: He's going to get the opportunity to play a lot on special teams.
Speaker A: So this is kind of just like a sink or swim situation and there's just going to be a lot of reps to be had for him.
Speaker A: I'm stoked for him.
Speaker A: I think he actually landed in a pretty good situation, even if it's a bit of a train wreck for a couple of seasons in Houston.
Speaker C: I agree.
Speaker C: I think so too.
Speaker C: With Tegan, it was very clear that we didn't use him as an offensive threat, but we did showcase his abilities quite nicely when it comes to being multidimensional as a tied end.
Speaker C: He's athletic, he's got good size, he's got decent hands, he can block, he's smart play on offense.
Speaker C: So I think that a team that just needs playmakers and they need somebody that could be very involved in their offense whether they have the ball or not.
Speaker C: It makes a ton of sense that Houston is bringing in Tegan, and I want to shout out to Tegan's dad Tony, who has been, I believe, a listener and definitely a follower on Twitter.
Speaker C: We're big TQ fans, so we're looking forward to seeing what he can do in Houston.
Speaker C: I think depending upon the quarterback situation and really everything on that team.
Speaker A: It could be great.
Speaker C: But honestly, I don't know now how to read much into like the kind of pre draft stock information.
Speaker C: I do feel like Tiger as the fifth router was a good deal, and I think there's a fair deal for both him and the Texans.
Speaker C: I could see a team that had a big tight end, athletic tight end like him reaching into the fourth round, but I'm just kind of glad he's slotted in there.
Speaker C: He's going to get paid for that round as deserved.
Speaker C: He's going to have a ton of opportunity as you alluded to, and I'm excited we got 2 August 8 players on the offensive side of the ball in Houston, Texas.
Speaker A: We are officially a Houston Texans podcast starting this fall and he could be taking is it Pharaoh Brown?
Speaker B: Pharaoh Brown his spot on the who's in Oregon Duck alone, so that would be cool real quick.
Speaker A: This is on the same note, I promise.
Speaker A: Jp, how many Organ Duck players were drafted?
Speaker C: I think one, and they're going to regret that pick.
Speaker A: The correct answer is one.
Speaker A: How many Oregon State players were driving this weekend?
Speaker C: One.
Speaker A: Okay, one to one.
Speaker A: Is that a mathematical equivalent?
Speaker C: It is, and I'm really good at math and I can tell you, one equals one.
Speaker A: Okay, so all of the Super Hyped, five star, five star, five star.
Speaker A: All these incredible recruiting classes of Mario Crystal Ball netted one draft pick against one draft pick of Jonathan Smith's.
Speaker A: More muted.
Speaker A: We celebrated.
Speaker A: Okay, I'm just trying to catch up here.
Speaker A: Okay, so one to one after Cave Von Tibeto, a single duck player didn't hear their name called.
Speaker C: No, it didn't.
Speaker A: Someone.
Speaker C: A guy named Veron McKinley.
Speaker A: The second or the third.
Speaker A: I can't remember.
Speaker C: Does it matter?
Speaker A: I saw him on Mel's Best available, but I didn't see him.
Speaker A: He was on Mel's Best available for a really long time.
Speaker C: Phil paid Mel.
Speaker C: Phil paid mail.
Speaker B: Did he leave Oregon early?
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker C: Two years of eligibility left.
Speaker A: So did CJ Verdell.
Speaker A: So it is Devon Williams.
Speaker C: So did McKelle.
Speaker C: Ray, that's an Oregon education for you, man.
Speaker C: You can't think well, you don't know what you're doing.
Speaker A: Who was going to come here first but then decided that's, right?
Speaker C: Remember that?
Speaker C: That was annoying.
Speaker A: Anyways, go ahead, ask me.
Speaker C: I have a question for you.
Speaker C: Besides the fact that clearly I believe there are far too many NFC west players that are not Oregon State and San Francisco 49 ers.
Speaker C: There's far too many Seattle Seahawks, Beaver under free agents.
Speaker A: We're about to get to this.
Speaker C: All of that pale in comparison to how you feel.
Speaker A: I need to know.
Speaker A: You ruined my segue.
Speaker UNK: No.
Speaker A: After s******* on Oregon players who just signed undrafted free agent deals.
Speaker A: Let's celebrate.
Speaker A: Oregon State players who just signed undrafted free agent deals.
Speaker A: Because that is the pettiness level of this podcast.
Speaker C: No, I'm not trying.
Speaker C: Go ahead.
Speaker A: We have six.
Speaker A: I know where we're going with.
Speaker A: Yeah, one of my favorites.
Speaker C: You're formulating an answer.
Speaker C: I can see it in your face, Benny.
Speaker C: I cannot see your face.
Speaker C: You just took a giant rip of that joint again.
Speaker A: So the whole draft disappearing trick, the whole draft.
Speaker A: When running back Scott drafted, I was like, I'm pretty sure that running back is not better than BJ Baylor.
Speaker A: Yes, BJ Baylor goes undrafted, as I kind of expected he would.
Speaker A: He wasn't even in pro football focuses draft mock draft simulator.
Speaker A: Like you couldn't even draft him.
Speaker B: It's just bullshit, which is ridiculous.
Speaker A: Robert wasn't there.
Speaker A: Kean said none of them were.
Speaker C: None of them.
Speaker A: Cheeky was, but was ranked like 350th.
Speaker A: So f****** pro Football focus.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker A: Bj Balor, undrafted free agent, signed with the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker C: I'm still on that.
Speaker A: Bj, one of our newest followers is a Packer fan.
Speaker A: I'm not going to shout them out because they're a Packer fan.
Speaker A: You want to look it up?
Speaker A: You can go ahead and give a name, but I'll let you roll this.
Speaker B: Keep going.
Speaker A: It's so hard.
Speaker A: So our good friend Boba Ganouse, who went to the University of Washington and grew up in Minneapolis with me, despises the packers.
Speaker A: This happened to him a couple of years ago when they drafted Kevin King at the University of Washington in the first round.
Speaker A: So today he texted me the image of BJ Baylor, like the Photoshop of him in Packer s*** with accompanying text.
Speaker A: How could you let this happen?
Speaker A: This is your f****** fault.
Speaker A: And I already know that BJ is like not going to play but for most of the year.
Speaker A: And then because the packers are the packers and they always have a million injuries, every year, they'll be going into like some primetime game with the Vikings and BJ will be the only active running back and he's going to rush for like 253 again.
Speaker B: Hold on.
Speaker B: You have BJ Baylor on the packers, you have Jefferson on the lines, and you have Ryan Null on the Bears Cowboys now.
Speaker A: But Artevis Pierce is still on the Bears, I believe.
Speaker C: Yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker B: So you have running back on every team except my other team in your conference time for a new team.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: I'll trade Kurt Cousins for any organ State alum, not more me.
Speaker A: I love not.
Speaker A: Anyway, BJ, if you're listening like dog, I'm happy for you.
Speaker A: I would have been so much happier if it was any one of 31 other teams.
Speaker B: Dog, I would be so happy if BJ Baylor was listening to our podcast.
Speaker C: He might be.
Speaker A: No, he's not.
Speaker C: Yeah, BJ, I know you're listening.
Speaker C: Bj was someone my child ran away from us.
Speaker C: I lost him for about 15 minutes in the mass of people on the field at recently.
Speaker A: I love BJ Baylor so much.
Speaker A: Why is he on the back?
Speaker A: They haven't really drafted Beaves before other than Nick Barnett.
Speaker C: Yeah, that was a big one.
Speaker C: But do you want to know your level of disappointment is pretty high right now.
Speaker C: But I told the minIbe Everett when we were watching the first round because the Niners had no picks.
Speaker C: I'm like one.
Speaker C: Let's see what happens because Debo could be traded and if the Niners end up having to pick.
Speaker A: I would have had our picks if you had traded me, Devo, like I did in that mock draft simulator.
Speaker A: No, you didn't agree to it.
Speaker A: I would have given you the 12th pick athletes.
Speaker C: But as we're going on, he's like, this is so boring.
Speaker C: I don't know any of these teams or players.
Speaker C: And I was like, well, there's Oregon State players who could get drafted.
Speaker C: So I was explaining to him about how in the first round, well, I was just trying to get his attention.
Speaker C: I brought up like, how cool would it be if the 49 ers drafted BJ Baylor?
Speaker C: And he clearly wasn't listening fully to me say this.
Speaker C: So the next day we put the game or put the dress on Saturday.
Speaker C: And I'm like, or Friday.
Speaker C: Whatever it was, I'm like, all right, it's turned on surrounds two and three.
Speaker C: Let's go and let's see where BJ goes.
Speaker C: He's like, what are you talking about?
Speaker C: I'm like, well, let's see.
Speaker C: The Nyars have picked.
Speaker C: There's still a bunch of Beavers available.
Speaker C: He's like, no, you told me last night that the 49 ers drafted BJ.
Speaker C: Baylor and I was like.
Speaker A: You got to be.
Speaker A: Your son is at a very sentient time now, JP.
Speaker A: You can't just bullshit anymore.
Speaker C: I know.
Speaker C: I can help everything.
Speaker C: I felt like I ruined him because he was like, no, you told me yesterday that the 49 ers drafted him somehow.
Speaker A: Everett already had the Jersey.
Speaker C: I didn't tell him where he ended up, but he was like heartbroken that I had to tell him he hadn't even been drafted yet, let alone by the time.
Speaker B: Oh man, I remember caring about sports that much.
Speaker B: Like it would just crush you.
Speaker A: Still care.
Speaker C: Shut up.
Speaker B: I care about it.
Speaker B: But that's a different type of care.
Speaker C: Yeah, that's when you feel like it's totally related to you at that any young age.
Speaker C: So speaking of related to me, I hate the Ducks and that's very related forever because I hope we f****** destroy them in baseball this week.
Speaker B: What do you think, Terry?
Speaker A: We're moving on to baseball already.
Speaker A: Can we at least shout out to other Oregon State football players?
Speaker A: I'll say the names.
Speaker A: Keante Shad.
Speaker A: Arizona Cardinal.
Speaker A: Elijah Jones.
Speaker A: Seattle Seahawk.
Speaker A: Boo.
Speaker A: At least for YouTube.
Speaker A: Avery Roberts.
Speaker A: Also Seattle Seahawk.
Speaker A: Andre Hughes.
Speaker A: Murray.
Speaker A: Los Angeles Rams.
Speaker A: Travon Bradford.
Speaker A: Los Angeles Chargers.
Speaker A: Congratulations, gentlemen.
Speaker A: So proud of you already.
Speaker A: Glad that you got this opportunity in the NFL and can't wait to see your pro career and take off.
Speaker A: I wouldn't be surprised if all these dudes stuck around for a long time.
Speaker B: Teams are going to be really upset with themselves for not going after Avery Roberts after the draft.
Speaker B: That was surprising.
Speaker B: I mean, I know that he wasn't supposed to be picked or like, that's what the expert said.
Speaker C: But what is your biggest surprise to the draft?
Speaker B: That was it is that he didn't even get an undrafted free agency contract.
Speaker B: He just got invited to their mini camp.
Speaker A: Biggest surprise.
Speaker A: Like Oregon State related surprise?
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker A: It kind of felt the way I figured it would.
Speaker C: Did you really only see Tegan being the only draft?
Speaker A: I didn't think it was legit.
Speaker A: Like I disagreed with it.
Speaker A: But just by the draft prep that I read, it didn't seem like anyone else had a shot.
Speaker A: I think fiance Chad absolutely should have been.
Speaker C: I thought Shad should have been.
Speaker C: I thought Shade in my mind, was a fourth 5th rounder.
Speaker C: I thought Tegan was a fifth rounder.
Speaker A: Is there any word on news?
Speaker C: No.
Speaker C: I don't know if he's.
Speaker A: I know Eldridge pulled out and that didn't quite.
Speaker A: He's just smart and was like, I'm done with football.
Speaker C: Every surprised me because I thought he'd be like a fifth six.
Speaker C: To be honest, his last year wasn't great, but he was phenomenal the year before that.
Speaker C: I don't think this disappears from your skill set.
Speaker C: And I think it's more scheme and use and maybe health.
Speaker C: I even saw BJ being drafted 7th.
Speaker C: Maybe.
Speaker C: But I saw him getting drafted and I think shout out to the pain years again, that's the Bieber bias, right?
Speaker A: I think if there was one that was going to be a surprise that I wouldn't have been that surprised about, it would have been Anj Hughes Murray just because he's such a freak athlete.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker A: And has the personality to wow in interviews.
Speaker A: So I could have just seen him winning over like a total scouting apartment at the Proday, which could be the difference in getting your name called on the 6th and 7th versus being undrafted.
Speaker A: So I thought Anj had a chance.
Speaker A: I really just like, I don't know.
Speaker A: I think it's bullshit that BJ didn't get any love in the pre draft process, but he even mentioned it.
Speaker A: I think it was one of Dashl's articles that he mentioned around the Proday that some Scouts had mentioned to him concern about his 40 time, like leading up to the prode because they had seen him get caught from behind on some of his big runs.
Speaker C: All those big runs happen in the NFL, right?
Speaker C: That's so dated now.
Speaker A: He knows how to f****** run too.
Speaker A: So I think Jefferson being the fourth to last pick last year and just him having a more impressive overall body of work or just a more lengthy body of work than BJ Baylor.
Speaker C: But they're both smart runners.
Speaker B: Yeah, BJ will hit a hole.
Speaker A: I don't know if he's going to be like lightning sprinter that teams can use, but he just knows how to play football.
Speaker A: And I know I'm not trying to take anything away from other running backs, but I don't know.
Speaker A: It seems like teams want a running back that they can turn into like Percy Harvin or some s*** and put them in the slot and throw in the ball, whatever.
Speaker A: Which BJ's pretty decent in the passing game too, but he knows how to play the position and he's going to bring intellect and an effort and just the know how to any room that he steps into.
Speaker A: And it is now going to be for my least favorite organization on the planet.
Speaker A: So that is something that I have to deal with as a man and I will deal with it.
Speaker A: I don't know.
Speaker A: I have a feeling I'm going to spend most of my upcoming therapy session talking about BJ Baylor on the packers.
Speaker A: And my therapist is going to be like, this is for real mental health issues, Terry.
Speaker A: And I'll be like, I'm getting to it.
Speaker A: Just listen.
Speaker A: Here is why you have to hate the packers as much as I do.
Speaker A: Therapist.
Speaker A: Anyway, we do need to move on.
Speaker A: But yeah, that's the NFL draft.
Speaker C: Speaking of hate.
Speaker A: Speaking of hate.
Speaker C: Again, even though my segue I was over one.
Speaker A: Sorry, you were just a little premature.
Speaker A: But yes, Beaver baseball.
Speaker A: We beat the Ducks on Tuesday and then we took two out of three from the Ute in Utah.
Speaker A: We remain the number one ranked team in the country, in every number two ranked team, number two ranked team in the country in every poll except for collegiate baseball, which has us at number three.
Speaker A: They were the ones who had us number seven and everyone was top five.
Speaker A: And we've got four games with the Ducks looming this week.
Speaker A: One game on a non conference game against our biggest conference rival on Tuesday, Eugene, and then three conference games.
Speaker C: No, at home.
Speaker A: That one's in Eugene.
Speaker A: I think that was in Eugene.
Speaker A: So a big Civil War baseball week.
Speaker A: We are going to be eating peeking duck every night, cooked in my new cast iron stovetops courtesy of Amazon.com.
Speaker A: So yeah.
Speaker A: Jp, how are you feeling after this last baseball series against Utah with four games against those f****** from Eugene coming up this week?
Speaker C: I'm glad we took the game against Oregon before we left.
Speaker C: That was big.
Speaker C: This series against Utah is super weird because the times were all like they didn't make sense at 10:00 a.m.
Speaker C: Friday matchup.
Speaker C: I'm at work watching jerky just mow down to Ute.
Speaker C: I'm like, I haven't even had lunch yet.
Speaker C: This is super weird.
Speaker C: And then they had the Sunday evening game, which they, I guess kind of squeezed in because the weather wasn't supposed to work out for them.
Speaker C: There was really no rhyme or reason why that.
Speaker C: I have seen why the schedule was so weird.
Speaker C: I'm glad we took two out of three.
Speaker C: I'll take two out of three on the road any day.
Speaker C: It sets up very well for the next four to wrap up our non Con and Con game against Oregon.
Speaker C: I'm very optimistic.
Speaker C: I don't know if we'll do enough through the rest of the season in the eyes of the pollsters.
Speaker A: Catch Tennessee, maybe if we start throwing bats that other teams dug out.
Speaker C: Whatever at this point is 12345 really matter?
Speaker C: It doesn't matter.
Speaker A: One through eight are essentially the same.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker A: We want to host that super regional.
Speaker C: We're a solid top four no matter how the rest of the season round.
Speaker A: Then you get to Omaha.
Speaker A: Anything can happen.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker C: So whatever.
Speaker C: I'm enjoying watching this team.
Speaker C: The pitching staff has been phenomenal.
Speaker C: They're definitely one of the best pitching staff that I've seen in this program in the last ten years and probably up there with the 17 team.
Speaker B: Yes.
Speaker A: Got it.
Speaker A: I hope we take the next four against the Ducks.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: And the fact that the one loss that we had last week was when Jerpy was pitching that even further diminishes that loss, having really any sort of impact or meaning.
Speaker A: Yeah, he was perfect through six into the seven.
Speaker B: And then Dashl tweeted about it.
Speaker C: Mick Dashl is never coming on the pod.
Speaker A: We've given Dashell a lot of props.
Speaker C: But hey, man, you don't bring up the jinx to a writer, though, because they're already writing their game stories about perfect games and no hitters before it becomes public.
Speaker C: It's jinxed anyways.
Speaker C: In their mind, they feel attacked.
Speaker A: Did he publish a piece on.
Speaker C: Yeah, it was an in game piece.
Speaker B: And I just happened to be on Oregon Live when it got posted or like minutes after.
Speaker A: And I thought I'm anti in game pieces as a practice.
Speaker A: That's what Twitter is for.
Speaker C: I'm anti talking about perfect games and no hitters directly.
Speaker C: And it was like, Jerpey is perfect through six, Jerpey's through six.
Speaker A: And you can say Jerpey hasn't given up a base runner giving up a hit or a runner or a walk or hit by pitch or Jerpy through six.
Speaker C: Utah still without a base runner.
Speaker C: I mean, like, there are ways to or just don't write a close game.
Speaker A: Who's written a close game right now that's just not watching the game?
Speaker B: Me as I saw and I was like, oh s***, they do have a game early today.
Speaker A: See, that's what's ruining everything is because f****** Editors and websites just want clicks and numbers.
Speaker A: So it's like, hey, put up this in game piece that 50 people will click on and we can say we got 50 more clicks.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker A: When it's like, why am I reading this piece about this game that's happening?
Speaker A: Yeah, you don't pause a movie when you're at the movies to read the review of the movie that you're watching up to the point you're watching too.
Speaker C: Up to the point you're watching to the point you're watching.
Speaker C: Not even the spoilers.
Speaker C: Just like, how have you felt that the intro was right?
Speaker B: Well, apparently I might watch to the movie theater to watch.
Speaker A: Someone said it's a perfect movie, but it turns out the thing was just a red herring and now it sucks.
Speaker A: I blame whoever the f*** on Fandango.com.
Speaker C: I blame Nick Dashl is on Fandango ruining movies.
Speaker A: I know it ruined end game for me.
Speaker A: I didn't think it was the end even though it's in the title.
Speaker B: D*** it.
Speaker C: I'm kidding.
Speaker C: Nick.
Speaker C: We love your coverage.
Speaker A: So, yeah, you're Oregon City baseball team, 34 and nine, four straight games against the Ducks in the former Beaver category.
Speaker A: We have not talked enough about Steven Quan on this podcast.
Speaker A: I agree he's being talked about left and right, but he needs his flowers from the babys.
Speaker A: Officially named Al, MLB.
Speaker C: Not just although Al the whole d*** thing every L.
Speaker A: But he has no O-L-S.
Speaker A: He has W's because he's the Rookie of the Month.
Speaker A: Historic start for the former Beaver elf fielder.
Speaker A: As of yesterday, he was leading the majors in overall contact percentage at the plate.
Speaker A: He didn't swing and miss until the 117th pitch he saw.
Speaker A: That became like a thing on Twitter, on baseball, how many pitches of he makes it about the Giants until there was like a f****** I saw someone.
Speaker A: I forget the Twitter user, but posted a tombstone with the streak of pitches.
Speaker A: Stephen Kwan had it swung and missed.
Speaker A: That that's incredible.
Speaker A: 116 pitches in a row without totally missing.
Speaker A: I'm the opposite of that at any batting cage.
Speaker B: That's also on top of the 35, at least 35 at bats where he didn't have a strikeout in spring training.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker C: But I also want to point out and this is the part that intrigued me the most Quan is if you take the old definition of baseball as a professional hitter, he is the epitome of a professional hitter.
Speaker C: The guy is smart to play.
Speaker C: He swings the pitches that are in the strike zone that he can make contact with and he puts them in play.
Speaker C: But baseball has been trending the last few years about.
Speaker C: Yeah, if you put it in play, what's your exit vehicle?
Speaker C: Right.
Speaker C: And especially against defenses that are shifting more and more often.
Speaker C: What's your spray chart look like?
Speaker C: How are you getting balls fair and not caught?
Speaker C: And his numbers are like, they blow your mind in a way that he has no hard hit balls.
Speaker C: Like, almost all season.
Speaker C: He's just slapping hits all over the field, though, defying current major baseball logic of finding guys who just rip it off the bat, regardless of their contact rate, regardless of their strikeout rate, they're looking for dudes who just rip 110 off the bat.
Speaker C: He's hitting like, 9100 and still leading the League in all these categories.
Speaker C: And that's why I think it's even more intriguing for me, because he's flipped modern baseball knowledge on his head.
Speaker A: That's some Rod Cruxit.
Speaker A: That's what he did all the way to Kingstone.
Speaker A: Real old school.
Speaker A: But like Rod Cruz said, hit it where they ain't.
Speaker A: There's no one there.
Speaker A: It's a hit.
Speaker C: Exactly.
Speaker A: I would say this isn't super sustainable, but it could be partially sustainable.
Speaker A: And partially sustainable is really f****** good.
Speaker C: It's refreshing to see it's refreshing to see it.
Speaker C: And also like, it might not be sustainable, but who's to say that this isn't intentional?
Speaker C: All of this hasn't been intentional by Quan to be like, I know that defenses are sitting up this way.
Speaker C: I know that they're expecting.
Speaker C: This is just like a junk picture.
Speaker C: Throwing 75.
Speaker C: We've got Tyler Rogers.
Speaker C: Terry, you're familiar with his twin brother is an ex twin now, Padre, right.
Speaker C: His brother gross heat.
Speaker A: It's also psychotic to have twins and name them Taylor and Tyler.
Speaker C: I know it is.
Speaker C: And they're identical twins, too.
Speaker C: But Tyler Rogers throws submarine.
Speaker C: He throws Max 80 on his fastball.
Speaker C: But it is so unconventional that the batters don't know what to do.
Speaker C: And I feel like Swan is a modernly, unconventional batter.
Speaker A: Intentionally unconventional.
Speaker C: Yes.
Speaker C: I think that it could be sustainable because I think that's his approach.
Speaker C: And that's why I think he flew under the radar so much, because no one wanted to talk about a dude who had exit velocity and slapping hits all over the field.
Speaker C: They want a guy who's hitting bombs are striking out.
Speaker C: And that's why he's going to have a long career joke.
Speaker A: Too, when Infields try to shift on them.
Speaker A: And he'll just be like, all right, well, now that four of you are in between first and second, I'm just going to hit it at third.
Speaker A: F****** morons.
Speaker C: Play discipline, back control.
Speaker C: He's got it all.
Speaker B: And that's why it's crazy that he's able to do that as a rookie.
Speaker B: Like outsmart the defenses, essentially, or outsmart what the experts say you should be playing like.
Speaker C: Yeah, but I think that the experts are the GMs who want to be experts.
Speaker C: Right.
Speaker C: Of course they're experts.
Speaker C: They run their team.
Speaker C: So they're like, this is the way we're doing things.
Speaker C: That's the smart way to do stuff.
Speaker C: I'm curious about.
Speaker C: I would love to hear the inside story about the Guardian's decision to obviously he forced their hand in spring training, but he had that shot and he took advantage.
Speaker C: What signal to them we should give this guy a shot, right.
Speaker C: Because everything on paper was like contact header will never translate to the big leagues.
Speaker A: Sure.
Speaker A: Well, I'm hoping to catch him in person in about a week and a half.
Speaker A: The Guardians will be in town and so it will be Quand on the field.
Speaker A: And also Larnack, who after starting the year AAA, has been playing.
Speaker A: Yeah, he's been big for us.
Speaker A: So, yeah, I hope to get a chance to see a couple of Oregon State big leaguers on the field in Minneapolis next week.
Speaker A: We are close to being out of time, so we'll do the bad news part quickly.
Speaker A: The slide for softball.
Speaker UNK: F***.
Speaker A: It just continues now at ten in a row, getting swept by Oregon, who we must admit is good.
Speaker A: Good softball school.
Speaker A: They're ranked right now.
Speaker A: How dare you?
Speaker A: Hey, I'm the resident flower giver and voice of reason.
Speaker A: When Oregon is good, I will say they are good and their softball team is good.
Speaker A: And they beat our softball team three times in three games, one, five to nothing.
Speaker A: The other two were close.
Speaker B: They ain't special.
Speaker B: There's been a number of teams that have done that this year.
Speaker A: Yeah, the teams that haven't been special.
Speaker A: So, yeah, I mean, we talked to length about this team last week.
Speaker A: Not a lot has changed.
Speaker A: They got three more games to go against Utah.
Speaker A: But yeah, NCAA dreams are on the bubble.
Speaker C: This is my fear.
Speaker C: This is my worry.
Speaker C: And I think I talked about it.
Speaker C: They respond against UCLA, and that was two years ago now, not that I wanted them to sweep.
Speaker C: Ucla wanted them to know that I expected them to.
Speaker C: If they would have taken one against UW and one against UCLA, we would have been in a different conversation, I think, with a different mindset.
Speaker C: Even going into the series against Oregon.
Speaker C: This is a long skid.
Speaker C: This is a very long losing streak for a team that put up a very equivalent winning streak earlier in the season.
Speaker C: And I think this is just youth.
Speaker C: This is just youth.
Speaker C: It's inexperienced.
Speaker C: They're in a tail spin.
Speaker C: It's a hard thing to pull out of, honestly.
Speaker C: We have in here.
Speaker C: There's a lot of one run losses.
Speaker C: There's still losses, and I think we see it as a fan.
Speaker C: Oh, they were close.
Speaker C: They fought back.
Speaker C: They were down a lot, and then they lost by a run.
Speaker C: It was a good effort.
Speaker C: But these are like legit athletes who go like, I don't f****** care about a one run loss because we lost.
Speaker C: There's no charity victory here.
Speaker C: We needed to win that game.
Speaker C: We didn't do it.
Speaker C: And I think having that kind of mindset is important when you're competing on a level like pack twelve and any sort of power five conference.
Speaker C: But it will weigh on you as well.
Speaker C: And I think there's so much youth.
Speaker C: We've covered this before this team.
Speaker C: There's like 19 underclassmen on the team, and this is one of those kids that will really drag you down.
Speaker C: And it's against worthy opponents, not to say they lost against a bunch of scrubs.
Speaker C: They lost against very good and established programs.
Speaker C: They need to sweep Utah.
Speaker C: They got a sweep Utah, or this early season success feels like a Mirage that can be built upon, don't get me wrong, but you have to make it count this year.
Speaker C: You have to make it count this year.
Speaker C: And the only way you can do your best to make account now is you sweep Utah, and I hope they can get out of it and get some momentum going into the post season play.
Speaker B: I feel like baseball and softball are uniquely your performance is tied to your mindset in a unique way outside of other sports.
Speaker B: And so, I mean, it would point to the youth that you have this streaky team where when you're hot, you're zoned in, you're focused, and when you're playing a sport that relies on such a high amount of finesse, when you're hot, you're going to play really well.
Speaker B: And when you're losing, that just builds on itself.
Speaker B: And when you're young, you don't know how to deal with that as well as when you're established and have a few years under your belt.
Speaker B: So I think I agree with you that this is largely chalked up to the youth of the team.
Speaker UNK: Okay.
Speaker A: And real quick, in the good news Department, we've seen a lot of departures from the women's basketball program, which have led some to believe that there might be something beneath the surface that's not quite right.
Speaker A: Maybe former Beavers Goodman is just a really f****** good recruiter because Katie Brown and Ted Cruz, though, are going to Duke, where Alia Goodman is now running the show.
Speaker A: Not entirely, but has some power, clearly, but also good news for women's basketball Dart showxis.
Speaker A: Aaron is transferring to OSU from USC.
Speaker A: So welcome to the Beer FAM for Sher Lexus.
Speaker A: She had the Beaves in the recruiting picture for her before she went to USC.
Speaker A: So this is another good get for Rubik's team.
Speaker A: So some players going out, players coming in.
Speaker C: She played like Texas Southern or somewhere last year, though, right?
Speaker C: This is our third team, I think probably, yeah, maybe not.
Speaker C: Maybe.
Speaker A: I read two tweets.
Speaker A: That's why it's in the quick hitters part.
Speaker C: But she's also from the Northwest, so I think she's from Washington State.
Speaker C: I believe.
Speaker C: It seems like she feels this is like correcting history, that she should have done this from the get go.
Speaker C: And I'm excited to see her in the Beaver FAM.
Speaker C: I think that there's something to be said about somebody who right now looks at our program from the outside and says, I should have done this all along.
Speaker C: That can help calm the nerves.
Speaker C: Like you're saying, Terry, about if there's something under the surface that we are aware of things wrong.
Speaker A: I think it's this kind of I agree with business.
Speaker C: But if you're on the fence still right, there you go.
Speaker A: Talent is coming in.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker A: And I think this seems going to be good next year.
Speaker A: Saying it now we'll be seeing them in person at the PK 85 Thanksgiving weekend in Portland, Oregon.
Speaker A: I'm coming out for Thanksgiving at my house.
Speaker A: At your house, JP.
Speaker A: As mentioned on the last episode, Benny and his dad will be around in town.
Speaker A: We'll have a really, Terry Beaver Thanksgiving.
Speaker B: There'll be an early beavesmith.
Speaker B: We'll keep working.
Speaker A: I do that right.
Speaker A: We're going to have to plan our next holiday spaces.
Speaker A: They'll be here before you know it, but we don't want to wish the summer away or anything else.
Speaker A: But anyways, thank you, Beaver family.
Speaker A: And thank you again to our Beaver FAM Focus guest this evening, Ashton Batu.
Speaker A: So that's at Lilbutz on Twitter.
Speaker A: That editor in chief of Flagrant magazine.
Speaker A: Keep an eye out for issue four of Flagrant.
