  • Speaker C: No, I have no faith in you to do that.

    Speaker B: Single Terry wouldn't.

    Speaker A: Single Terry.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker A: Here we go.

    Speaker B: No, but domesticate probably would.

    Speaker A: Does it have the same ring as Mike?

    Speaker A: That's what you've been doing today since.

    Speaker B: I texted you at my house by myself.

    Speaker A: All right, well, you too can talk amongst yourselves.

    Speaker A: I'll be able to hear you, but I'm going to go.

    Speaker A: I'm going to take off this very dope bluegency crop sweatshirt because it is hot in my apartment and I've been away for the last five days.

    Speaker A: So getting the exact same thing in my apartment going to put on something a little more comfortable, if you know what I mean.

    Speaker B: Are you coming back with clothes?

    Speaker A: Yes, of course I'm coming back with clothes.

    Speaker A: I'm coming back with one of the several items in my drip system, aka closets, that have been delivered to my drip system from belligerenteves.

    Speaker A: Comirch.

    Speaker A: And I will decide on what we'll see how I'm feeling and see, Benny just gets up and leaves without announcing anything.

    Speaker A: You're going to get up?

    Speaker C: I'm going to just sit here.

    Speaker A: Had I left, Ben would have just left JP high on dry, like recording this thing ginger and solo, like it's the Bill Burr podcast or something, which is a great podcast, by the way, but it's not what we prepared for Benny.

    Speaker A: So I'm going to go put on a different Belligent beef shirt that's more appropriate for this summer weather that I'm having.

    Speaker C: But a crop top is not.

    Speaker C: I don't get it.

    Speaker A: It's true.

    Speaker C: Cut the sleeves off like pull a.

    Speaker B: Ben Wehage and cut the sleeves off.

    Speaker A: It's not designed to cut the brim off.

    Speaker A: It's a crap sweatshirt, which is a very specific kind of temperature.

    Speaker A: It's 70 degrees in my partner.

    Speaker A: Right.

    Speaker A: It just feels too hot.

    Speaker C: What is it when your belly button and lower are like 85 deg, but your it's like 48 degrees.

    Speaker B: Stand up.

    Speaker A: It's a perfect piece of clothing to do yoga in.

    Speaker C: Stand up.

    Speaker C: Let's see.

    Speaker C: Oh, sit down.

    Speaker B: Why are you.

    Speaker B: Oh, nice.

    Speaker B: Looks like your shorts are pulled up past your belly button for a second.

    Speaker A: They're not.

    Speaker A: I'm going to go put a shirt on and then when I get back, you guys are going to be nicer to me.

    Speaker B: I love you.

    Speaker B: Nice.

    Speaker A: Hey, I thought you had new headphones.

    Speaker C: You were working towards.

    Speaker B: I do have new headphones.

    Speaker B: And I told you I was going to get them set up for this podcast and I totally forgot it's.

    Speaker A: Okay.

    Speaker A: We have 500 more podcasts, so we're going to record.

    Speaker C: So at some point you'll get to use them.

    Speaker B: Yeah, right.

    Speaker B: I spent my entire Saturday, Friday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, filling that flower bed, that raised stone flower bed that I made with dirt.

    Speaker B: And I thought it was going to be like five or six truckloads.

    Speaker B: I'm at least 1313 or 14 truckloads.

    Speaker A: And it's like half full.

    Speaker C: How many cubic feet did you need.

    Speaker C: Did you calculate it?

    Speaker B: No, because I'm just going and getting a cubic yard at a time.

    Speaker B: I didn't have it dropped off, so I didn't need to really measure.

    Speaker B: But yeah, it's going to take way longer.

    Speaker C: Dirt and cement, both of those things.

    Speaker C: Even water take a lot more than you anticipate.

    Speaker C: Like, I'll fill up like a kiddie pool and I'm like, this water has been running full bore for like 45 minutes and this kiddie pool ankle deep.

    Speaker B: Yeah, I knew I was under estimating, but I didn't know I was under estimating by as much as what I actually was.

    Speaker A: I underestimate that whenever I take a bath, which is less water, but it's happening.

    Speaker C: Why does it take so long?

    Speaker A: Conversation.

    Speaker C: I have a question to relate.

    Speaker C: Terry.

    Speaker C: How many grains of sand were on the beach in Mexico?

    Speaker C: Could you estimate how many underestimate?

    Speaker A: Yeah, I would say anywhere between four and 4 trillion.

    Speaker C: I think that's still low.

    Speaker A: 4 trillion.

    Speaker A: The fourth thing was that was to be a goof because we were just a few pals having a goof on this podcast, the 49th episode of the Blitz and Peace Podcast.

    Speaker A: Hello, listeners.

    Speaker A: What up, Beaver fans?

    Speaker A: Thanks for listening.

    Speaker A: This is truly the content you came here for.

    Speaker A: I'm going to say, oh, man.

    Speaker A: So just like the beach that I was at or all of the beaches, like the whole no, the beach you were at the Beach I was at, I'd say 5 trillion grains of sand for one resort beach is probably close to accurate.

    Speaker UNK: D***.

    Speaker C: Well, yeah.

    Speaker C: Maybe this is what quick and dirty Tips.com has for how many sand grains are in the entire source.

    Speaker A: Exactly how many sand grains are in the entire world?

    Speaker C: They say 5000 billion billion, aka five.

    Speaker C: Six Tillion.

    Speaker C: Nice.

    Speaker B: Wow.

    Speaker A: That's my favorite kind of Tillion.

    Speaker A: Nice.

    Speaker A: How many trillions in a sex?

    Speaker A: Trillion.

    Speaker C: I don't know.

    Speaker C: There's 5000 billion billions.

    Speaker B: That would be five.

    Speaker C: No, there's 5000 billion billions.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker A: In one sex Tillion.

    Speaker A: How many billions in a trillion?

    Speaker A: Do we know any trillionaires?

    Speaker A: Who can help us out with this?

    Speaker C: Not yet.

    Speaker B: How many billions in a trillion?

    Speaker B: 1000?

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker A: There's 1000 billions and 1 trillion.

    Speaker C: Benny owns a trillion dose coins.

    Speaker B: Yeah.

    Speaker B: And it's still worth less than a Penny.

    Speaker A: Maybe one day.

    Speaker A: That's still probably worth more than Magic Johnson's NBA top shot.

    Speaker A: That he's coming?

    Speaker A: Actually, probably not.

    Speaker A: I think a lot of people will pay for that.

    Speaker C: I forgot I have some top shots.

    Speaker C: I should look at what you do.

    Speaker A: Really?

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker C: Anyone want to buy my top shots?

    Speaker A: Are they GP?

    Speaker A: Two top shots?

    Speaker C: No.

    Speaker A: Are they drew UBank's top shots at least?

    Speaker C: Actually, no.

    Speaker C: Let me look.

    Speaker A: The Shack of Trail.

    Speaker C: I didn't buy them.

    Speaker C: I got polls, you know, whatever.

    Speaker C: So I didn't really pick any of them.

    Speaker B: Dylan Brooks?

    Speaker C: No, because I would burn it.

    Speaker A: I would burn.

    Speaker B: Nft.

    Speaker A: Put us back into the stone age.

    Speaker A: Just to get the NFT.

    Speaker A: No technology could exist just to get rid of the Dylan Brooks NFD.

    Speaker A: We don't care that GP two forgave him.

    Speaker A: And so there's no ill will.

    Speaker A: This podcast is its own entity and we will tear all of this down for petty grievances.

    Speaker C: Dude, you guys think about how this is.

    Speaker C: I have had these for a year and I have a Paul George dunk that I have for sale for $100.

    Speaker C: I have a Tyrese Halliburton dunk for sale for $2,000 if anyone's interested in buying it.

    Speaker A: Did you list these prices?

    Speaker C: Yes, I must have.

    Speaker C: I think I did.

    Speaker C: And then this is where it starts to fall off.

    Speaker C: I have a cow Cozma dunk for $1,500.

    Speaker A: You're going to pay me $1,500 and also give me the Kyle Kuzma dunk because that's what it would take for me to get I have a Chris.

    Speaker C: Porsingus dunk for $50.

    Speaker A: I want the Kristaps one, too.

    Speaker A: I want the Kuzma one.

    Speaker A: I want the $1,500 you just offered.

    Speaker A: And I want the exact same giant pink sweater that Kyle Kusma wore to a game.

    Speaker A: And then we will sell that sweater in blidgerandpeeves.

    Speaker A: Comrade.

    Speaker B: If you own the Paul George like a specific Paul George dunk, does that mean that no one else owns that specific dunk?

    Speaker C: No, there are no.

    Speaker C: It's like the 35,000 of them.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker A: So it's like cards.

    Speaker B: Like basketball cards.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker C: You can burn them.

    Speaker C: Somebody burned one of these cards.

    Speaker C: There are 35,000 in the addition, 29,770 are proudly owned, 2070 are hidden in packs, 225 are in the locker room, which I don't know what that is.

    Speaker C: And then one burned.

    Speaker C: I'm going to buy all of Dylan Brooks's NFPs and burn them all.

    Speaker B: $1 sextillion later.

    Speaker A: That is some Eric Cartman level evil.

    Speaker A: I love it.

    Speaker C: Jp all right.

    Speaker A: Well, yeah, keep us updated.

    Speaker A: Your NBA top shot day trading.

    Speaker A: Jp I don't do this.

    Speaker C: I don't actually do this.

    Speaker A: Probably not.

    Speaker A: Something we actually do is love Oregon State sports.

    Speaker C: That's true.

    Speaker A: And how about our softball team, you guys?

    Speaker C: Yeah, you got to love it.

    Speaker A: Full on segment.

    Speaker A: Dedicated these kick a** ladies.

    Speaker A: But f***, we can't just bury the lead here.

    Speaker A: We're going to the supers.

    Speaker C: Oh, man.

    Speaker A: Yeah, the super dupers.

    Speaker C: They just did not give up.

    Speaker C: They were ready to play every game.

    Speaker C: And I honestly feel like that this slide they had at the end of the season, it was a good learning experience.

    Speaker C: And Benny, you talked about rather that they did that now and that they could take that and make it something that helps them through the post season.

    Speaker A: It worked when that was happening.

    Speaker A: And we're like this will build fortitude for next year and do something to build on for next year.

    Speaker A: I don't want to assume that they listen to the pod.

    Speaker A: Maybe some of them do.

    Speaker A: I hope they do.

    Speaker A: Shout out, Oregon State softball.

    Speaker B: Yeah.

    Speaker A: Love you all, but they took that and said, f*** your next year.

    Speaker A: We're doing this s*** now.

    Speaker A: Losers, get in chairs.

    Speaker A: We're going to the Supers.

    Speaker B: It was either a tweet or an Instagram post.

    Speaker B: It was a picture of the team.

    Speaker B: They said, either we're a problem or we're going to be a problem.

    Speaker B: That's what you love to see.

    Speaker B: All right.

    Speaker B: Because they were just beat down at the end of the season.

    Speaker B: And a team that's streaky, you want them to get that out of their system.

    Speaker B: And now that streak is reversing.

    Speaker B: And so we stole the from Ohio State.

    Speaker B: We made Tennessee volunteer up their losses.

    Speaker B: The first of many, might I add.

    Speaker A: That I can say more like Rocky top of the Peacock and my Rocky bottom.

    Speaker A: Rocky top of the Peacock.

    Speaker B: Yeah.

    Speaker C: Shout on top of the C*** Bar.

    Speaker A: And Grill in beautiful Corvallis, Oregon, aka the Paris of the Pacific Northwest, home to Oregon State, University of the Harvard of the pact.

    Speaker A: Well, and we're going out into place Stanford, who was not a team involved in that lengthy losing streak we had.

    Speaker A: We took two out of three from the stupid frigging Cardinal when we played them earlier season.

    Speaker C: Well, hey, before we get too deep.

    Speaker C: Before we get too deeper.

    Speaker A: Deep, deep.

    Speaker A: Like a Frankie Hamudi bomb.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker A: Yes, the deep center.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker A: We should probably talk about beer.

    Speaker C: I think so.

    Speaker C: This is your Q listener to skip the next 13 minutes.

    Speaker A: No, don't skip the next 13 minutes.

    Speaker A: Rewind the next 13 minutes and listen to it again.

    Speaker A: But if we tell people we're going.

    Speaker C: To do the beer segment and then we don't and that would be like.

    Speaker A: April Fools in May and then you'd miss some really fun candor banter that you can't get in any of the other 48 episodes.

    Speaker A: Well, this is the Belligerent Beaves buried segment brought to you probably by.

    Speaker A: Could be you.

    Speaker A: Any independent burial on the planet.

    Speaker A: Listening still sponsorless, but maybe one day soon.

    Speaker A: Anyway, mine is quick.

    Speaker A: I got back from the airport like at 730 and shocking, after five days in Cancun, I did not want to go straight to a liquor store.

    Speaker A: So I'm once again drinking Cabin Crusher in the Orange can from Summit Brewing Company here.

    Speaker A: But it's a great summer beer.

    Speaker A: And since both our baseball and softball teams have been crushing it, it still works.

    Speaker A: And I figured I might as well go with the same thing and do laundry instead of go to the liquor store.

    Speaker A: So I have a boring entry.

    Speaker A: Wow.

    Speaker A: Okay.

    Speaker A: F*** you guys.

    Speaker A: I just got back from Cancun.

    Speaker B: Come on.

    Speaker C: You should have prepared before you left.

    Speaker A: I know I could have.

    Speaker A: And then I was doing show notes for this after the plane landed, so I was assessing where I should prioritize my energy, and I chose the segments with a little more substance rather than the segment about substances.

    Speaker A: See how you do that?

    Speaker A: Word played, m************.

    Speaker A: I got it.

    Speaker B: Where's the Terry that we know.

    Speaker A: Shut up.

    Speaker A: He's here.

    Speaker C: Dead and Gone.

    Speaker C: Jp play 5 Seconds at Dead and Gone by Ti and Justin Timberlake.

    Speaker A: O, no, don't get me like that.

    Speaker A: I'm still here.

    Speaker A: Watch me crush this beer right now.

    Speaker A: Crush that beer and get another one.

    Speaker C: They did crush that.

    Speaker A: That was a sip.

    Speaker B: Did you even drink any?

    Speaker A: I am going to f****** kill both of you guys.

    Speaker A: I can go next.

    Speaker B: Jp texted us the weather that's going to be down in Tucson for the past twelve baseball tournament and I got f****** hot just looking.

    Speaker B: Yes, Scottsdale, not Tucson, Scottsdale.

    Speaker B: And I just got hot looking at it.

    Speaker B: So I needed a refreshing vanilla Porter by Breckenridge and it had snow all over the bottle, which, looking at that, cooled me down again.

    Speaker A: That's why you got to have that really nice sweater on.

    Speaker A: Because vanilla Porter makes it feel like Christmas.

    Speaker A: I'm over there.

    Speaker A: That's right.

    Speaker C: Hey, you know what?

    Speaker C: There's a stigma around dark beers and the warm weather and I am here to break that stigma.

    Speaker C: You could drink a dark beer whenever the h*** you want.

    Speaker A: Baby is certified.

    Speaker C: Do whatever you want, listener.

    Speaker C: Do whatever you want, Benny.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker B: You can even drink dark beer in Scottsdale.

    Speaker B: When it's going to be what, 107 degree?

    Speaker A: You can you do you.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker A: If that brings you happiness, you should do it.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker C: Can I plug something that's not a beer?

    Speaker C: Even though it's the beer segment?

    Speaker A: Benny has been doing that literally everything.

    Speaker C: I don't even have it with me, but I just wanted to point it out because I feel like I was kind of prepared for Benny to have a non beer substance, which I would lead to this with.

    Speaker C: But I would like to tell the world that you all have been sleeping on Jack in the Box for far too long.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker A: Where is this possibly coming from?

    Speaker A: I ordered Jack in the Box on Saturday too.

    Speaker A: It was so good.

    Speaker A: I feel like Jack.

    Speaker A: Do people sleep on Jack in the Box?

    Speaker A: I thought Jack in the Box had a fairly reputable reputation.

    Speaker C: Well, sure, but they've diversified their offering like tenfold.

    Speaker C: They went and took the tacos and made mini tacos.

    Speaker C: They took their late night menu and made it a Munchy menu.

    Speaker C: And I'm talking like onion rings and chicken on your burger time.

    Speaker C: Late night onion smack.

    Speaker A: We can keep it specific to Jack in the Box, but onion rings in general don't get enough credit.

    Speaker B: You guys remember where Jackinthebox had like an E.

    Speaker B: Coli breakout when we were kids?

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker C: And we used to go a lot as a family.

    Speaker A: We don't have Jack in the Box in the Midwest.

    Speaker A: So I didn't experience Jack in the Box until I was at Oregon State and I f****** loved it.

    Speaker B: So for some reason that stuck in my head.

    Speaker B: I remember my parents talking about it.

    Speaker B: So I didn't go to Jack in the Box forever.

    Speaker B: And then I just waited too long.

    Speaker A: Yeah, you can excuse stuff like that.

    Speaker A: One of my friends loves is obsessed with Chipotle, and I remember having the conversation about that one.

    Speaker A: The ecoli Chipotle outbreak while eating Chipotle.

    Speaker A: And he was like, doesn't make a difference to me, bro.

    Speaker A: And he just, like, scarf down his burrito.

    Speaker C: And that was a lovely.

    Speaker A: Love.

    Speaker A: The service at Chipotle mostly still suck in the Box.

    Speaker A: That Corvallis.

    Speaker A: Jack in the Box was huge.

    Speaker A: I think it was the only fast food place on night that was open 24 hours when we were in school.

    Speaker A: Yes, maybe that's changed, but that was like, it was clutch that you was getting someone who could operate a motor vehicle safely to take you to Jack in the Box office after 01:00 A.m., because I think that Tbo was open to one.

    Speaker A: And maybe that Wendy's was open until midnight or one.

    Speaker A: But that J to the B 24/7, baby.

    Speaker A: And I remember having no limit on serving breakfast either.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker A: Whereas, like, McDonald's probably not.

    Speaker C: Mcdonald's does again.

    Speaker B: I know.

    Speaker A: What the f*** McDonald's.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker C: Don't sponsor the pod.

    Speaker C: We want Jack in the Box.

    Speaker A: Okay.

    Speaker A: Wait, so you're in Corvallis this weekend?

    Speaker C: Yes.

    Speaker A: At the Oregon that you get Jack in the Box down there or you ordered Jack in the Box when you're in Portland?

    Speaker C: I got when I got home.

    Speaker A: Okay.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker UNK: Nice.

    Speaker A: Walk us through your order.

    Speaker C: Oh, so I got the spicy Nacho chicken sandwich Munchy meal.

    Speaker A: Holy s***.

    Speaker A: Wow.

    Speaker A: From a word Smith standpoint, that's the best fast food order in history.

    Speaker C: I know.

    Speaker C: So now here are the ingredients it leads with.

    Speaker C: This is not an ordinary meal.

    Speaker A: I always want to hear someone at a fast food restaurant say that to me before serving me food.

    Speaker A: Those are the exact words I want to hear.

    Speaker C: Yes, but check this out, because this is spicy, crispy chicken topped with onion rings, jalapenos and Nacho cheese sauce on toasted sourdough and two regular tacos and halvesy fries, which is half regular, half curly.

    Speaker C: A small fountain drink.

    Speaker A: And that's an innovation right there.

    Speaker C: And you're drooling now.

    Speaker B: No, I am so good.

    Speaker A: I can see Benny drilling through the Zoom.

    Speaker A: That's no cap.

    Speaker B: Their tacos just casually thrown in there, too.

    Speaker B: That's something to be said.

    Speaker B: Their tacos are really good, dude.

    Speaker C: They have tiny tacos now.

    Speaker C: They're like miniature tacos in a little cup.

    Speaker C: And then you can get.

    Speaker B: I bet they're so good.

    Speaker C: You can get loaded tiny tacos, which is the same little tiny tacos, but it's covered in, like, lettuce, cheese and Taco sauce.

    Speaker B: They're Taco sauces.

    Speaker A: We have the gym Gaffigan mini muffins.

    Speaker A: Bit like, oh, mini muffins.

    Speaker A: I'll just have one or twelve.

    Speaker A: It doesn't matter if they're so small, but I would maybe eat twelve regular tacos from Jackinthebox.

    Speaker A: So now that we're in our 30s, they got the mini tacos for us.

    Speaker A: We are the demographic.

    Speaker A: We still want to pick out like we could back when we were youngsters, but they know we can't.

    Speaker A: So it's like, all right, get the 30 something they can moderate a little bit more.

    Speaker C: Did you know they have jumbo egg rolls and Jack in the Box?

    Speaker C: I did not know.

    Speaker A: I feel like that's an area that fast food restaurants should have been capitalizing on, like way sooner, not to diminish agrills or anything.

    Speaker A: When we say something would be a great fast food, the three of us here, we don't mean that as an insult at all.

    Speaker A: We love fast food.

    Speaker A: It's amazing that we don't take up more land mass than we do.

    Speaker A: We should have to relative on way more, especially me.

    Speaker A: But I feel any fast food restaurant on the planet has the kitchen and equipment necessary to just crank out hundreds of acre holes by the batch.

    Speaker A: And I figure if McDonald's had been like, we're going to master egg rolls before anyone else does, that would have been game changing.

    Speaker A: So I'm happy to hear Jack in the Box is doing it.

    Speaker A: Open a Minneapolis location, please.

    Speaker A: Jack in the Box.

    Speaker B: I feel like that the most underrated thing about Jack in the Box.

    Speaker B: The most underrated thing is the sourdough buns that they have.

    Speaker B: They're buttered perfectly, and I don't know why other places don't do that.

    Speaker B: It's like a grilled cheese.

    Speaker B: It is, yeah.

    Speaker C: It's like a Patty milk or something.

    Speaker A: I'm going to move this forward so we don't get bogged down.

    Speaker A: But Benty, this is me formally requesting a fast food centered Benny's bonus belligerent question sometime soon so that we can just go for 40 minutes to an hour and throw another Patreon page.

    Speaker C: I love that because now coming back from jumbo egg rolls and mini tacos to my beer, Jumbo Egg Roll Porter.

    Speaker A: 9.5% alcohol by volume, I'm blacked out.

    Speaker A: I just coached my son's Tball game.

    Speaker A: I've actually had this one before.

    Speaker C: I typically try to have a beer that's new and then have it on the podcast, but that's really hard to do.

    Speaker C: I'm sorry.

    Speaker C: I'm sorry everybody, but it adds up.

    Speaker C: It adds up.

    Speaker C: And so when you buy like a four pack, you have some.

    Speaker C: But I had this one not on the podcast.

    Speaker C: So this is still the first one on the podcast.

    Speaker C: And it's cool because it's in Portland.

    Speaker C: And so shout out Steeplejack Brewing, which is I think located off of Sandy maybe, or I think it's Sandy.

    Speaker C: Either way, they are like a converted it's like a converted old Lutheran Church or something of the like.

    Speaker A: So it's got.

    Speaker A: Oh yeah, it's way better use it's.

    Speaker C: The cool arches and architecture, like the wood beams and stuff.

    Speaker C: And they got the stained glass and then they just have beer fermenting inside the Church.

    Speaker A: Hence the use of the word steeple.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker C: And I'm drinking their Roused about IPA and it's really nice.

    Speaker C: For a basic IPA, this is like a nice crushable.

    Speaker C: Could be a staple in my fridge.

    Speaker C: Type IPA.

    Speaker A: A staple from Staple.

    Speaker A: Please tell me they have a beer named after the blood of Christ.

    Speaker C: I don't know that answer.

    Speaker A: I feel like if you're brewing in a Lutheran Church, there's got to be some Sacramento beer naming conventions going on as well.

    Speaker A: Just fully lean into it.

    Speaker A: Untapped score.

    Speaker C: Oh, I gave it a four.

    Speaker B: It's nice.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker B: Oh, wow.

    Speaker A: I have more respect for your four grades after the 3.7 through 3.9 you've been hearing out of.

    Speaker C: You tough, greater.

    Speaker A: You are a tough grader.

    Speaker C: Hard to please.

    Speaker C: Unless you're a beautiful double IPA.

    Speaker A: Unless you're literally any double IPA that's ever been made.

    Speaker A: In that case, 4.2 automatically.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker C: So cheers, guys.

    Speaker A: Cheers.

    Speaker C: You look less red than Benny would have been in Mexico, so Congrats.

    Speaker A: Thank you.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker B: You don't look sun burnt at all.

    Speaker A: I don't.

    Speaker A: Do I look Tan?

    Speaker A: Do I just look?

    Speaker B: Yes.

    Speaker B: You look like you got color.

    Speaker A: I look Irish.

    Speaker C: What color is it, Benny?

    Speaker B: Salmon.

    Speaker B: The same color I get when I am in the sun now.

    Speaker B: You look good, man.

    Speaker A: Thank you.

    Speaker A: You look good, too.

    Speaker A: I feel good.

    Speaker A: I got one workout in while I was down there.

    Speaker B: Nice.

    Speaker A: I had designs of doing it every day, but then Mexico happened.

    Speaker A: Back then, Cancun Terry took over.

    Speaker A: Not as crazy as Cancun single Terry, but that guy would be podcasting from a jailhouse somewhere in Cantona.

    Speaker A: Rou.

    Speaker A: Glad he's not the one who made the trip this time, so we got to move on.

    Speaker A: But before we do that, we got to give another shout out to our friends from Steamheaded.

    Speaker B: Oh, yeah, I said chop them.

    Speaker A: Yeah, chop them.

    Speaker A: Shout out.

    Speaker A: Seamheaded, shout out our friend Pat Ryan doing great work over there.

    Speaker A: I love Seamheaded and I know we saw a bunch of Belligerent Bees gear at Gospel this weekend and was hoping to see some Seam hecked shirts as well.

    Speaker A: I saw one in like a blurry photo that kind of looked like one, but I guess it could have been any kind of Orange shirt.

    Speaker A: But check out seemed headed check out the Belligerent Beast products there and also the other Dope shirt they have as well.

    Speaker A: It's a really cool brand and they're doing a great job.

    Speaker A: And speaking of baseball and softball and just all kinds of dope things happening on the diamond.

    Speaker A: Once again, you guys, how about our softball team, Laura Berg and crew?

    Speaker A: Crushing it.

    Speaker B: Crushing it indeed.

    Speaker B: Man, you don't normally have a three seat winning the regionals, but I can't say that we didn't somewhat call this and see this coming with the softball thing that we have that's giving us.

    Speaker A: A little bit of credit.

    Speaker C: We made it happen.

    Speaker A: We build it.

    Speaker A: Yes, we certainly want it to happen.

    Speaker A: I will say I don't think there's I did not foresee a time in my life where I'd be on a beach at Cancun watching a softball game on my phone.

    Speaker A: And that is what I was doing on Sunday and freaking out and having a lot of fun doing it.

    Speaker A: Bob againoosh from UW during the section of the show, let me know.

    Speaker A: He was like, enjoy this postseason softball.

    Speaker A: F****** slaps.

    Speaker A: And it does slap.

    Speaker A: And our team slaps.

    Speaker C: Yes.

    Speaker A: They're playing so well and it looks like they're having more fun than anyone else on the planet doing anything right now.

    Speaker A: And that's my favorite part.

    Speaker C: But also the poise that they play with, too.

    Speaker C: They're so young and they still don't let the circumstances in the situation get the best of them.

    Speaker C: They just play their game and they trust their own process.

    Speaker C: So it's amazing to see them enjoying themselves, playing light, having fun, but also just realizing, hey, we're kind of playing with house money at this point.

    Speaker C: Let's make the best of it.

    Speaker C: And they did that and more.

    Speaker C: And really like I said, I see the team making a lot of noise.

    Speaker C: I do.

    Speaker A: They have nothing to lose.

    Speaker A: They have nothing to lose.

    Speaker C: We've talked about their youth and be like, well, yeah, like you said, next year it's going to be amazing in two years.

    Speaker A: They said, f*** your next year.

    Speaker C: I know that's the best part of this year.

    Speaker A: It's about this year.

    Speaker A: The whole time I was like, no, guys, it's going to be this year.

    Speaker A: To have a ten game losing streak can be like, f*** it, we're going to the super regionals anyway.

    Speaker A: Badass.

    Speaker B: Right?

    Speaker B: This team has sort of the counterbalance of a ton of confidence along with being able to play loose and light and not have a ton of pressure put on you.

    Speaker B: So that's sort of where you want to be in the post season, especially if you're a streaky team.

    Speaker A: Right.

    Speaker A: But the choreographed dugout dances are just the best thing happening in sports right now.

    Speaker A: And if you don't follow the account yet, Beaves in Action is like a behind the scene Instagram account for the softball team.

    Speaker A: One of the broadcasters asked Laura Berg, who ran the account, and she gave kind of an ambiguous answer as to who it might be.

    Speaker A: So I don't think it's public who it is, but their latest post had them practicing some of the dances.

    Speaker A: I don't know when the video took place, but just sort of on the football practice field of the dugout dances they do and how each player has their own that the team does for them.

    Speaker A: It's just so fun.

    Speaker A: I love the very stern stance Laura Berg has during the Ingame interviews.

    Speaker A: It's very Coachy headphones on, hands on hips.

    Speaker A: And that picture of there's like six players behind her with the fake headphones made out of water bottles, just the exact same pose looking at the camera while Laura Bergs doing the interview.

    Speaker C: And they nailed the pose.

    Speaker C: They nailed it.

    Speaker A: That's so softball.

    Speaker C: I love it.

    Speaker A: I love that Laura Berg's been able to cultivate that.

    Speaker A: This sort of community atmosphere among the team, especially like you expect a team with a lot of freshmen to just have a lot of exuberance, but it looks like they're playing with the trust and belief in each other.

    Speaker A: That usually takes years to build and just also cherry on top that they're having more fun doing it than I've seen most people ever have fun doing anything, which is it just makes it so much more enjoyable to see how much they're enjoying it themselves.

    Speaker B: Isn't it so interesting that when you have teams that remember to have fun when they're playing sports, those are the teams that do really well?

    Speaker B: If you can just remember why you started playing the game to begin with, you become a lot less tight.

    Speaker B: And yeah, you generally play better.

    Speaker B: So it's awesome to see on a ton of different levels.

    Speaker B: So I'm glad they're having fun and I'm glad it's making them better.

    Speaker A: Right hopes for it.

    Speaker A: To keep going long past this coming weekend.

    Speaker A: But we have to mention it's the first time we've made it this far since 2006.

    Speaker A: So no small potatoes.

    Speaker A: Congratulations, ladies.

    Speaker A: I know there's more work to be done, but props to everything you've accomplished so far this season.

    Speaker A: We mention the youth on this team, but the one senior who is honored on Senior Day, Mariah Mazone, really stole the show this weekend, especially on Sunday.

    Speaker A: Going into that day, we had to take two from Tennessee playing in their own ballpark or it was lights out.

    Speaker A: Going home season is over.

    Speaker A: She tosses a complete game in the first game, eight to three win also hits a bomb.

    Speaker A: And then the second game pitched an inning and also hit another bomb to win 31.

    Speaker A: And in light of our conversation on the NL getting rid of DH last week, I think this has become JP's favorite hashtag.

    Speaker A: And this argument is all caps.

    Speaker A: I don't know if it's as a hashtag, but I made it one in the show.

    Speaker A: Now it's Pictures who Rake do we need to make Mariah Mazone Belligerent Beef Jersey now at Pictures who Rake?

    Speaker A: That needs to be our next nil proposal.

    Speaker A: I like that.

    Speaker C: I think I'm down with that.

    Speaker A: Mariah, if you're on open.

    Speaker A: Yes, expect to hear from our people soon.

    Speaker A: The Belgian peace traveling Secretary may make it to Palo Alto to deliver business proposals in person because we're official like that.

    Speaker C: I just love a player that wants to do damage on both sides of the game and talk about helping your cause and helping your team in every single way you possibly can as a leader, as a reliable pitcher and a reliable slugger and coming in the clutch, not just to fluff her own stats.

    Speaker C: I mean, she literally made an impact every single time she had a performance like that.

    Speaker C: And so this team is falling behind her lead and she's saying, I'm not going home yet, I'm not done.

    Speaker C: So I think they're like rallying around her and they're helping her get to the next level and get through Supers and get to the World Series.

    Speaker B: Oh, yeah.

    Speaker B: So I just went back and looked and I don't know if you guys know how we performed in the 2006 College softball World Series.

    Speaker B: It was not well.

    Speaker B: So I think that we have some vengeance that we're ready to dish up.

    Speaker B: I have a really good feel about this team.

    Speaker B: They've shown us how good that they can play, and it seems like they're sort of shifting back into that gear.

    Speaker B: And I agree with you, JP, when you're playing for something more than just the team, when you're playing especially like for one particular individual, I feel like everything that happened prior is out the door.

    Speaker B: It's post season.

    Speaker B: It's silly season, like anything can happen right now.

    Speaker B: And if you're not following this team, hop on the bandwagon because it's going to be fun.

    Speaker C: Well, that's what I think is like this pack twelve season, obviously, or leading in the conference play was very streaky for us.

    Speaker C: That like 17 game winning streak.

    Speaker C: I think it was eleven game losing streak.

    Speaker C: And the team I don't think that either of those streaks defined this team.

    Speaker C: I think they were both a bit of a Mirage in a way, but it didn't take away from the fact that they're super talented.

    Speaker C: I mean, they essentially went on the road and won two straight winter go home games against the top eleven program in the country.

    Speaker C: That's not an easy feat by any means, even if we had 117 leading up to that point.

    Speaker A: It just shows me that this team.

    Speaker C: They were streaky because they were just finding their footing.

    Speaker C: And I don't think that they're actually streaky or that they're bad or that they're insanely, like over the top to win every game here on out, which I hope they do now because they've done it 17 in a row already.

    Speaker C: Right.

    Speaker C: There is clearly enough talent there to like you said, it's silly season.

    Speaker C: Let's shock everybody.

    Speaker C: Let's pull all that talent out.

    Speaker C: Let's rally around our players, our coach, and just shock the world.

    Speaker C: I think they're on their way to do that.

    Speaker UNK: Yeah.

    Speaker UNK: Agreed.

    Speaker C: Terry's looking at pictures of it.

    Speaker A: Okay.

    Speaker A: No, I was looking at the schedule for this all important super regional, which it starts on Friday, May 27 in Palo Alto.

    Speaker A: It's 07:30 P.m..

    Speaker A: Pacific time, and Saturday, May 28 at 03:00 P.m..

    Speaker A: Pacific time.

    Speaker A: Both games are on ESPN.

    Speaker A: You if there's a split, I imagine there'll be.

    Speaker A: I don't know when game three would be, if it'd be later on Saturday or kicked to Sunday.

    Speaker A: I haven't seen that in a release or anything yet, but ESPNU more watchable against Stanford, a team we've already gone two and one against.

    Speaker A: I feel good.

    Speaker A: I feel really good.

    Speaker C: I feel great about the possibilities here.

    Speaker A: Stanford, I told you when Oregon State men's basketball lost at Sanford.

    Speaker A: I told you guys I smoked pot with Sammy Ford.

    Speaker A: Well, I also smoked pot with Stanley Ford, his younger, smarter brother, also known as Stanford.

    Speaker A: He's really not s***.

    Speaker A: This bit is not going to die.

    Speaker A: I don't care how bad it is.

    Speaker A: It's going to spin around.

    Speaker A: Shout out to Will Ferrell and step brothers.

    Speaker A: Just going to keep that alive for any College.

    Speaker A: That sounds like a name.

    Speaker A: Franklin, Tennessee.

    Speaker A: Brian, Texas.

    Speaker A: Canon Claycomb.

    Speaker A: Cannon.

    Speaker A: Claycomb is the funny that's a real guy.

    Speaker A: We just really like his name.

    Speaker A: It's alliterative first name is Cannon.

    Speaker A: I don't need to explain anything other than that.

    Speaker A: Friday in Palo Alto.

    Speaker B: Friday in Palo Alto.

    Speaker A: When is finals week at Oregon State?

    Speaker A: Right now or this term?

    Speaker A: Yes.

    Speaker C: It's like two more weeks from now.

    Speaker A: Okay, students, you've got no excuse.

    Speaker C: It's like week eight.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker B: And it's the Bay Area.

    Speaker A: It's week eight.

    Speaker A: Bay Area.

    Speaker A: Not even that far.

    Speaker C: Get an Ike sandwich.

    Speaker C: When you're there, shout out Ike.

    Speaker A: You know, there aren't going to be any Stanford students there.

    Speaker A: They don't leave the library.

    Speaker C: They don't go to any of their events.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker A: Even though they're good, they don't go.

    Speaker C: To any of their sporting events.

    Speaker A: It's sad.

    Speaker B: They just send someone drunk and dress them up like a tree.

    Speaker B: And that's who they have.

    Speaker B: That's their fan group.

    Speaker C: That is stupid mascot.

    Speaker B: Yeah, it is.

    Speaker A: I mean, I still give them love for having their giant drums.

    Speaker A: They go beep.

    Speaker A: So they played Oregon.

    Speaker B: That was cool.

    Speaker A: I still don't really know why, but I love it.

    Speaker A: And they put it in the middle of the tree on the field, which was all too appropriate when we chopped them like beads.

    Speaker A: Chopped trees weeks later.

    Speaker A: But I still appreciate the support from the Stanford band.

    Speaker B: Yeah, Stanford Band is cool.

    Speaker B: I'm just playing used to get in a lot more trouble, but I hope.

    Speaker A: He beat your a** this weekend.

    Speaker A: Stanford.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker C: We're smarter than you at sports.

    Speaker A: Smarter than you at sports.

    Speaker A: And more belligerent for sure.

    Speaker B: That's not even way more.

    Speaker B: No, it's not.

    Speaker A: And we want to go to Oklahoma when we mean it.

    Speaker B: It's the first time anyone's ever said that.

    Speaker A: I don't have our figures in front of you, but I believe we have a couple Oklahoma City listeners.

    Speaker A: So Benny's just being funny.

    Speaker B: We're playing.

    Speaker B: We just hate the rest of the state.

    Speaker B: We love where you live, though.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker A: If you're listening to this podcast, we love where you live.

    Speaker A: Wherever place near you that you hate is what we're also hating on that's, right?

    Speaker A: Yeah, we hate them, too.

    Speaker A: That's the joke.

    Speaker A: That's the joke.

    Speaker A: If you're in Oklahoma City.

    Speaker A: Yeah, f*** Tulsa.

    Speaker A: If you're in Tulsa, then f*** Norman.

    Speaker A: And if you're in Norman, then f*** Stillwater.

    Speaker A: And I think that is the limit of my geographical knowledge of cities in the state of Oklahoma.

    Speaker A: But we do hope our kick a** softball team gets to go.

    Speaker A: And then as soon whenever this miracle amazing season is over, hopefully after Championship week is when we'll try and get extend the invitation for Lorenburg to come on the pot and talk.

    Speaker A: All things are going to say softball.

    Speaker C: Hey, by the way, you forgot we've had listeners in Edmond, Oklahoma.

    Speaker A: Edmund.

    Speaker A: Oh, oh, oh, I love Edmund.

    Speaker B: Yeah, I love Edmund.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker A: I smoked pot with Edmund, Oklahoma.

    Speaker A: All right.

    Speaker A: The bit is getting old, but Edmond, Oklahoma, does sound like the name of a guy and also the name of a town.

    Speaker A: Eddie Oakes, someone's from Edmond, Oklahoma.

    Speaker A: I feel like Edmund, Oklahoma, is one of those major suburbs that always is good at sports.

    Speaker B: Their high school teams good at sports.

    Speaker A: Yeah, they produce a lot of recruits.

    Speaker C: Dusty Allen is a major baseball player.

    Speaker C: Who is from there?

    Speaker C: Paul Blair on the Bears tackle.

    Speaker A: I see.

    Speaker A: Eckpay Udo.

    Speaker C: Wow.

    Speaker A: Big one.

    Speaker C: Epa, my man.

    Speaker A: Oh, Blake Griffin's from there Blake Griffin.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker B: Shannon Miller, who is another gold medal gymnast, is from there as well.

    Speaker A: This is the part of the podcast where we look things up.

    Speaker C: Russell Westbrook has two homes.

    Speaker C: He owns two homes in Edmond.

    Speaker C: Why?

    Speaker C: I don't know.

    Speaker A: He was there for a long time.

    Speaker C: So why two homes in like a neighboring city?

    Speaker C: Is there a difference in the areas?

    Speaker C: I don't know.

    Speaker C: I don't know.

    Speaker B: That is interesting.

    Speaker C: Oh, Darcy Lemon AGT, America's Got Talent.

    Speaker C: You guys are America's Got Talent fans, aren't you?

    Speaker A: I am glad you guys watch it with me.

    Speaker A: That's it.

    Speaker A: I watched it with you when I hung out at your place a lot.

    Speaker A: And you had it on.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker C: I didn't really like Darcy Lynn.

    Speaker C: Sorry, Darcy.

    Speaker C: She's a ventriloquist.

    Speaker C: And that stuff was weird to me.

    Speaker B: Like a talking puppet.

    Speaker B: We all know you're the one talking.

    Speaker B: Yeah, I don't get it either.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker A: We've now affected everyone from Oklahoma and ventriloquist all around.

    Speaker A: We're p****** off all the wrong demographics.

    Speaker C: Let's look ahead to the other diamond.

    Speaker A: Sport, then the other diamond sports, because diamonds are forever, apparently with Oregon State sports.

    Speaker A: And on the baseball side of things, we just had a series, the last regular series of the year against UCLA at Gospel.

    Speaker A: And now attention shifts to the first ever Baseball Packs Twelve tournament, which starts on Wednesday for the Beaves at 04:45 P.m.

    Speaker A: Pacific Time against the Washington Huskies.

    Speaker A: Jaron Hunter will begin the stereotype for the Beavers.

    Speaker A: That's according to OSU Beavers.com.

    Speaker A: But it was a record setting day at Gospel on Saturday.

    Speaker A: And to tell you all about it, the man who is there in the flesh with the mini Bobay, getting Benny to put on a belligerent beef's hat.

    Speaker A: Benny the Beaver, not Benny with the goodcloth.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker A: Our Benny wasn't there.

    Speaker A: Real Benny.

    Speaker A: Jp, you're in the house at golf.

    Speaker A: You're part of that record setting crowd.

    Speaker A: What was it like?

    Speaker C: It was a great crowd.

    Speaker C: It was a beautiful day.

    Speaker C: It was so amazing.

    Speaker C: It was just clear blue skies, perfect temperature.

    Speaker C: It was a little.

    Speaker C: I don't know.

    Speaker C: I would have phrase this, like subdued.

    Speaker C: I think cautious might be the right phrase.

    Speaker C: I believe the fans knew what was at stake and probably felt it more than the players were during that moment.

    Speaker C: Given that we let the past twelve regular season Championships slip away and that was already a given.

    Speaker C: There was really no way out from there.

    Speaker C: And Stanford was running away against USC as well.

    Speaker C: So we were essentially playing for second place, which is still incredible and also means a lot for post season slotting.

    Speaker C: So there's a lot on the line.

    Speaker C: I don't think the players felt it.

    Speaker C: And the crowd really got into it too, eventually, as we went on.

    Speaker C: And I had not been to gossip since I was in school.

    Speaker C: And the improvements they've made, they were working on like the Jacobi Elsbury locker room and that whole banners left field section.

    Speaker C: I think the year after we left and graduated.

    Speaker C: So there was not even any construction happening when we were last there.

    Speaker C: And it's such a beautiful park, man, they've done such a good job putting those two kind of high risers out by the foul pulls down the corner.

    Speaker C: And the team looked great.

    Speaker C: The team looked great.

    Speaker C: Fedex had an awesome outing.

    Speaker C: That was probably the longest he's gone all season.

    Speaker C: I think it was like in the 7th.

    Speaker C: I think they pulled him.

    Speaker C: So that was an awesome performance by him.

    Speaker C: I don't know.

    Speaker C: I mean, shout out to Shelley Bean.

    Speaker C: Saw some listeners.

    Speaker C: Will later Beaverman, who is cousins to Marvin Bieberman, but not really Beaver.

    Speaker C: Cousins, Beaver cousins.

    Speaker C: It was cool.

    Speaker C: We got to talk to some more listeners.

    Speaker C: It was great.

    Speaker C: We love meeting all you in person.

    Speaker C: And I was just walking through the concourse, head over to Pat Beaverman to deliver a baby's beer because he was actually one of the original winners for our birthday party deliveries.

    Speaker A: Oh yeah.

    Speaker C: Unfortunately he couldn't be there to get the delivery because he had to work.

    Speaker C: So we promised we'd buy him a beer next time we were in Corvallis.

    Speaker C: So we pay our debts and we.

    Speaker A: Stuck to our weapon.

    Speaker A: Debts.

    Speaker A: Yes, we're like the Lannisters, but only in that way and no other way.

    Speaker C: But as I'm walking through, I got.

    Speaker A: Beers in my hand, I got pizzas.

    Speaker C: In my hand and I hear chop them and I turn around and Shelley and I'm like, yeah, I love it.

    Speaker C: I love hearing that.

    Speaker A: That's awesome.

    Speaker C: Great experience.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker C: All around.

    Speaker A: At least the s***.

    Speaker C: I love you, Shelly.

    Speaker A: Yeah, that just makes me so happy.

    Speaker C: It was sick.

    Speaker C: Yeah, that's a great day.

    Speaker A: Did you guys watch the game?

    Speaker C: Melanie was part of it.

    Speaker C: Melan's home run was just absolutely destroyed.

    Speaker C: There was no real wind.

    Speaker C: There was a little bit of breeze, but nothing like tearing.

    Speaker C: And that ball just sailed.

    Speaker C: I didn't know when it would come down.

    Speaker A: It should be worth two then, because I really want him to break this f****** record.

    Speaker C: You don't have to pretend.

    Speaker A: I do want him to break.

    Speaker B: Did you notice any you mentioned with the crowd that there was some trepidation that didn't seem to be felt by the players?

    Speaker B: At least not what I saw.

    Speaker B: Did you notice that as well?

    Speaker C: No, definitely not.

    Speaker C: I feel like the players probably sit on these tough stretches differently than fans.

    Speaker C: I think a long stretch can really weigh on you.

    Speaker C: But we have a lot of upper classmates and seniors on this team, right?

    Speaker C: And so I think that they can shake that funk a lot more quickly than less experienced club can.

    Speaker C: I think that their sites are so much further down the road, rightfully than just winning the Pack twelve or finishing second that they just played their game.

    Speaker A: They played their game.

    Speaker C: They tried to write the ship and they did exactly that right.

    Speaker B: I think last week I had mentioned as long as we're top four, it's not top four.

    Speaker B: As long as we're top eight, I'm okay.

    Speaker B: Because if you're top eight and you win the regional, then you're guaranteed to host a super regional.

    Speaker B: So as long as we're top eight, it doesn't really matter.

    Speaker C: Some places have us as seven right now, so I'm not sure how they'll take into consideration the past twelve tournament since it's new.

    Speaker C: But other conferences have a tournament, too, I would imagine.

    Speaker A: Well, it's a double elimination tournament.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker A: As long as we don't crash out, I don't think our national seating in the tournament will be that effective.

    Speaker A: And you also right got understand, too.

    Speaker A: Like there's a chance that all of the top eight teams win their respective regionals and they get to host super regionals, but these things never go according to plan, so I don't want to fall out of the top eight either.

    Speaker A: Benny, I think you make a very good point.

    Speaker A: So I think let's be safe and just win the whole g****** tournament.

    Speaker A: Organ statements, basketball style act like we can't make it to the tournament without winning the conference tournament, even though we will likely still be a very strong seat.

    Speaker A: But like you said, JP, it's wild and Dachshund was kind of tweeting about this, too is this team is so good and never really makes any frustrating mistakes and it's baseball, so things aren't going to go your way a lot.

    Speaker A: So we lost four in a row.

    Speaker A: Big f****** deal with teams 41 and 13.

    Speaker A: A four game losing streak is going to happen, and maybe comparing a four game losing streak to an eleven game losing streak seems crazy, but maybe similar to softball, they're just catching that cold spell at the right time.

    Speaker A: And now you remind yourself how good you are in that last game against UCLA, and now you're going to the spot where I think it's going to be hot as h***, but basically everyone's going to be uncomfortable playing in that.

    Speaker A: And at least Scottsdale, we play a lot of games in Scottsdale, so hopefully they feel comfortable, at least in being familiar territory, literally and figuratively.

    Speaker A: And it's just another business trip for this team.

    Speaker A: And so I'm hoping I'm not going to get too low if we don't win the conference tournament or don't make it to the Championship game.

    Speaker C: I don't think they will either, but.

    Speaker A: It'S definitely another thing on the to do list for them.

    Speaker A: So I'm hoping to see a very strong showing.

    Speaker A: And it really helps, too, with just having a guy like Jared Hunter who's really stepped in to that sort of third pitcher role to have him ready to go for this Wednesday game now against a Washington team that hasn't had the season that they're hoping to have.

    Speaker UNK: But.

    Speaker A: Everyone in the tournaments above.

    Speaker A: 500, I believe total on the year.

    Speaker A: So everyone's won a lot of baseball games at this point, and it's baseball.

    Speaker A: So anything can happen anytime you step out on the diamond.

    Speaker A: But, yeah, it'll be exciting.

    Speaker A: I like that the conference is doing this.

    Speaker A: I know we've been in our group chat a lot like Scottsdale.

    Speaker A: Late May seems hot, maybe somewhere else.

    Speaker A: And I do love our Seattle idea.

    Speaker A: If they could plan it to where they would only need one ballpark and do it when the Mariners are out of town and then that'd be cool.

    Speaker C: Well, I think they're only playing at Scottsdale Stadium.

    Speaker A: Right.

    Speaker A: So if that is what they're doing, you essentially need to be able to host the quadruple header every day.

    Speaker A: Every day.

    Speaker B: Yeah.

    Speaker A: So some teams are five plays.

    Speaker A: The first games are like 09:00 A.m.

    Speaker A: Or something like that.

    Speaker C: I think so.

    Speaker B: That's the thing.

    Speaker B: And I think the Oregon State baseball team is good enough to overcome anything, especially weather.

    Speaker B: But when you have a game that's slotted to be a day game and it's 105 deg outside that always gets pushed to the evening, like they very rarely will continue to have that game if they can push it to the evening.

    Speaker B: So I don't think that any one on the Oregon State team or very few have played in this extreme of weather.

    Speaker B: But that being said, the other teams that will be playing probably haven't either.

    Speaker B: I just think it's a unique situation that could even the playing field.

    Speaker B: So that being said, if Oregon State does crash out of the tournament, blame the weather.

    Speaker B: Still not going to be worried.

    Speaker A: Blame the weather.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker B: Well, I think that can play a huge sort of leveling factor in the game.

    Speaker B: If you have Oregon State matched up against Washington, let's say, where they're clearly the superior baseball team 100%.

    Speaker C: Think about this, looking at the weather on Thursday in Scottsdale at 10:00 A.m., it's 92 degrees.

    Speaker C: That is still hot, but the sun doesn't feel as hot down there in the early morning.

    Speaker C: I mean, there's long shadows.

    Speaker C: You've got still kind of a cool breeze every once in a while.

    Speaker C: That cools off even at 92.

    Speaker C: Again, that's at ten in the morning.

    Speaker C: We're playing at 445.

    Speaker C: That's 105.

    Speaker A: That's salmon skin weather we hate at best.

    Speaker B: Yeah.

    Speaker A: Salmon skin weather was like six layers of SPF 100 on.

    Speaker A: Yeah, that's rough.

    Speaker C: You have to wonder, is there going to be some bias towards the teams who get the morning games through the weekend?

    Speaker C: Because again.

    Speaker B: If the low of lows.

    Speaker C: Is 73 and that's at six in the morning on Monday morning, that is not suitable for baseball in most.

    Speaker A: But at this point now we've played what, 54 games this season?

    Speaker B: Something like that.

    Speaker A: We played 54 games this season and none of them have started at night in the morning.

    Speaker A: I get that that's the time when the weather is going to be best, but I guarantee I don't know who's in that 09:00 a.m.

    Speaker A: Game.

    Speaker A: I looked at the bracket for a little bit, but it's escaping me now.

    Speaker A: Who is in that first day 09:00 a.m.

    Speaker A: Game that is going to be the flattest baseball game of the year?

    Speaker A: It's Arizona.

    Speaker C: Oregon, Arizona.

    Speaker A: I guarantee you both teams come up flat as h***.

    Speaker A: I might even try to make an Oregon joke here.

    Speaker A: Of course you have a hot tick, locked and loaded, ready to talk s***.

    Speaker A: That's why we love you, Benny.

    Speaker A: But when was the last time these guys played a baseball game at nine in the morning?

    Speaker A: I guess crazy like high school all star tournaments and stuff like that's when those things happen.

    Speaker A: But in College, no.

    Speaker A: Okay.

    Speaker C: But noon is still 97 if we are playing.

    Speaker A: Sure, yeah, I get that.

    Speaker A: But that also is sort of the thing that does happen with these tournaments and we dismiss it for a massive event like March Madness because it has been a part of our entire lives and we're just always so excited when that 1st March Madness game comes around.

    Speaker A: But we also kind of fail to remember that that first game of March Madness on Thursday at 11:00 a.m.

    Speaker A: Central time or whatever.

    Speaker A: A time when no one is used to starting a basketball game on a Thursday morning.

    Speaker A: It's usually kind of a s***** game, at least for about twelve minutes of game time and then it can get exciting.

    Speaker A: But it's just when you have this many sporting events that you need to get through either there's going to be like the start time could be weird, the temperature is going to be uneven, it's not going to be fair for everyone and you just need to kind of f****** deal with it.

    Speaker A: And thankfully, as you mentioned, JP, we have a lot of experience on this team.

    Speaker A: We have a program of history and heritage of people who have gone really far deep into College World Series runs before everyone who's one of the coaching staff has played into mid to late June and understands that grind.

    Speaker A: So I think this isn't a mental hurdle that I think is going to define this group.

    Speaker A: It's just another thing to deal with.

    Speaker B: Right?

    Speaker B: I will say one of the funniest things that happened to me this weekend was opening up Twitter and see not one but two different duck fans unprovoked talk s*** to me about Oregon State losing a baseball game when they slept.

    Speaker B: I forget who they slept.

    Speaker B: Maybe Arizona.

    Speaker B: Yeah, but I was like, you look like a Titanic talking s*** to an iceberg.

    Speaker A: If you went five against the iceberg, that doesn't make any sense.

    Speaker A: Do they mistake, man, did they mistake you for me?

    Speaker A: Because when they went three against San Diego at the start of the season was when I was talking a lot of s*** and they reminded me that we went one and five against them last year.

    Speaker A: And I also don't care enough about College baseball to really get into a deep stats based debate with people.

    Speaker A: I just want to make fun of Oregon.

    Speaker B: Yeah, just don't try with baseball.

    Speaker B: Just go back to losing and not winning National Championships in football and not.

    Speaker A: Having wrestling and an entire alumni of great wrestlers who built a program who are p***** off at the University they attended for canceling their programmingly.

    Speaker A: No reason.

    Speaker A: Anyway, this is not an Oregon hate podcast.

    Speaker A: Well, that kind of is, but unprovoked.

    Speaker A: That's funny, Benny.

    Speaker B: Yeah, I was sort of astonished.

    Speaker A: Did you recognize that, Abby's?

    Speaker A: From the guy guys who are in the birthday spaces?

    Speaker A: No.

    Speaker B: One of them.

    Speaker B: No, because he's a Niner fan and a Timber fan, and I go back and forth with him on a lot of sports stuff, but it just felt like a 60 miles per hour changed up right across the plate, some meatball down the middle.

    Speaker A: I'm surprised why they'd get any satisfaction out of that.

    Speaker B: I was trolling them pretty hard.

    Speaker A: Every single time that we delayed, they were licking their wounds and getting their chops and figuring out how to respond to a silver tongue devil such as yourself.

    Speaker A: Benny?

    Speaker B: Yeah, it's all right, little brother.

    Speaker B: I'm used to little brothers always tugging at my coat tails.

    Speaker C: I've spent the last ten minutes trying to chart the best path through the pack.

    Speaker C: Twelve baseball tournament.

    Speaker A: When it comes to the temperatures, we should play at 03:00 A.m..

    Speaker A: That's the way to do it.

    Speaker C: No, here's the deal is that unfortunately, being in division two, we already are screwed.

    Speaker C: We're just screwed because we get like one late morning game.

    Speaker C: If we lost game one and then we had to win all the way through, then we'd still get a 445 game.

    Speaker C: And then the Championship game is still at 07:00 P.m.

    Speaker C: On Sunday, which will be 100 degrees at first pitch.

    Speaker A: If Oregon State is not in the Championship game, we can record whenever we want to on Sunday night.

    Speaker A: If Oregon State is in the Championship game, we're recording after the game, right?

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker A: Well, Beaver FAM, if any of you are going to Scottsdale for the conference tournament, hit us up on social.

    Speaker A: Tag us in your IG or Twitter posts while you're there.

    Speaker A: We want to know how it is.

    Speaker A: I love the idea of a conference baseball tournament saying whether aside, I think this can be really f****** cool.

    Speaker A: Maybe it needs to be in Scottsdale because that's where places like things like this happen.

    Speaker A: But I don't know.

    Speaker A: I do love the idea of it.

    Speaker A: I don't know the top eight programs in the pack.

    Speaker A: Twelve being sort of like coming and going from the same facility all day every day for five days.

    Speaker A: Like the number of just yelling matches and fights that aren't actual fights happening.

    Speaker A: I feel like it's definitely going to be.

    Speaker A: I don't know what the number is going to be, but I guarantee you.

    Speaker A: It won't be zero from these teams that have all played each other a bunch already.

    Speaker A: And I don't know, I'm kind of worried about this Washington game because it's a long season.

    Speaker A: They probably don't want to be there and they're p***** off and they just want to play spoiler.

    Speaker A: So they're probably going to get off the bus like buck Oregon State.

    Speaker A: And I feel like every game is a trap game from here on out.

    Speaker B: Well, especially if you remember our first win in March to winning the whole g****** thing in 2018 was an elimination game against Washington where Washington was actually kind of dominating us until there was that huge long rain delay.

    Speaker B: And then we came back from the rain delay and just we are crushing hit after hit after hit.

    Speaker A: A lot of Washington fans I know who were watching their first Washington baseball game that day were really mad at me.

    Speaker B: Yeah, that was wild.

    Speaker A: I remember that.

    Speaker A: Good call back, Manny.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker A: Oh, yeah.

    Speaker A: How can we forget our son was promised our son baby boy.

    Speaker A: The greatest.

    Speaker A: Adley Ruthvan, former Oregon State baseball catcher and Oregon football kick off specialist, which is the latter is what made him the number one pick in the MLB draft in 2019.

    Speaker A: Clearly not only makes this Major League Baseball debut, but picks up his first hit in his first game.

    Speaker A: And of course, it's a f****** triple.

    Speaker A: He got a hit in the second game as well.

    Speaker A: And I was tracking the Orioles Yankees game today and he did go hit list, so no three game hitting streak to start the career, but they get hits in two of his games.

    Speaker A: And just that video that was shared on Twitter of him running onto the field for the top of the first at Candom Yards, one of the most beautiful story parks in this great land.

    Speaker A: And he just does that little turn around, soaking it all in for a second.

    Speaker A: That gave me chills.

    Speaker A: I watched it like a dozen times.

    Speaker B: Yeah, that was awesome.

    Speaker C: It was so cool because that's one of those authentic things about Adley that people love.

    Speaker C: He is so real and relatable and he carries himself with no ego.

    Speaker C: And I think that you forget that because some of these guys go out there and they're hot shot top prospects, even if they're not number one like he has been.

    Speaker C: They go out there and they think, yeah, I'm just here to do my thing.

    Speaker C: This is what I'm supposed to do.

    Speaker C: I'm going to act like I've been here before.

    Speaker C: And I think that takes away a lot of how much they put into their craft to get there and how hard it is to get there.

    Speaker C: And I think that it was amazing to watch Adley.

    Speaker C: Like, soak it in and really appreciate the moment and take the time to acknowledge I got here.

    Speaker C: And he'd be probably the first to say it wasn't just him.

    Speaker C: He's got teammates and coaches and family and parents he'll say helped him get there more than himself, but he got to be there and feel what everyone's collective effort has been for the last 15 years of his life.

    Speaker C: And I think that's really cool.

    Speaker C: That was one captured on video and two, that he allotted himself the moment to be able to appreciate where he got to.

    Speaker B: Right.

    Speaker B: I'm surprised that more players don't do that, because the first time that you step foot on a major League field for your debut, that has to be a feeling unlike any other in the world.

    Speaker B: And I think that there's sort of this built in mechanism and especially really competitive players that I can't enjoy this.

    Speaker B: I need to just grind through and, like, I can't enjoy anything until I win the World Series and get MVP and these crazy things.

    Speaker B: And to see somebody again, like the softball team, he's having fun playing a game.

    Speaker B: And that's why you started playing baseball in the first place.

    Speaker B: So props to Adley.

    Speaker B: The fact that he got a triple in his debut is incredible.

    Speaker B: And I know that we talk a lot about him.

    Speaker B: I know that he's a top prospect as well.

    Speaker B: But it was really cool to see Camden's reaction to him.

    Speaker B: Like, they've been waiting for him to come up.

    Speaker B: They've been reading about him, hearing about him, and they're equally as excited as I think everyone in Corvallis is.

    Speaker B: It was a great scene out in Baltimore over there.

    Speaker C: I just got goosebumps, man.

    Speaker C: Thank you for those.

    Speaker B: Yeah, you're welcome.

    Speaker A: Just to have the presence of mind for him to be like, I'm going to allow myself this second to just stop and stare up at the crowd and turn around.

    Speaker A: And also the handshake with the umpire was like the cutest handshake.

    Speaker A: Right.

    Speaker A: And then I think the umpires, like, hit him on the chest.

    Speaker A: Enjoy yourself, son.

    Speaker A: And he had his perfect little catcher helmet hair.

    Speaker A: And that a couple of other great videos.

    Speaker A: F***, I wish I knew the accounts that tweet him offhand.

    Speaker A: But his first ever hit, which is the triple.

    Speaker A: And there's another one that has the video footage of the hit and hit him running around the bases with his mom and family reacting in real time.

    Speaker A: Mama Rushman is going as Ham if you want her to.

    Speaker A: And that's a great video.

    Speaker A: And there's another video of him learning the news in his myrleg manager's office.

    Speaker A: And right after he says the words like, you're going to Camden Yards, like nine of his teammates.

    Speaker UNK: Yeah.

    Speaker A: Conversion DJ Stewart was the first one in.

    Speaker A: And just, like, screams, let's f****** go.

    Speaker A: They all tackle them and pick them up.

    Speaker A: And you can just see the smile on his face.

    Speaker A: So, yeah, it's heartwarming stuff.

    Speaker A: It's been a long time coming since his name was announced by the Commissioner as the number one pick in the 2019 draft and one of the most fun players and complete and versatile players that we've gotten to watch.

    Speaker A: And I believe someone was wearing an Adley Ruthman football Jersey at Camden Yard.

    Speaker A: Is that where that shot was taken, or was that at the Oregon State baseball game this weekend?

    Speaker B: No, that was at Camden.

    Speaker A: Yes.

    Speaker C: And there were a lot of Orioles Jersey.

    Speaker A: I remember always the black and Orange oral hat, the Apostrophe s was really.

    Speaker C: Popular, but people used to go get.

    Speaker B: Them stitched in with O State.

    Speaker A: Oh, my God.

    Speaker A: Yes, those were sick.

    Speaker A: I remember Jadoc had one.

    Speaker A: He was the first one I ever saw on the sidelines.

    Speaker A: And I was like, that's the coolest thing ever.

    Speaker A: I want to be James Rockery.

    Speaker A: I still want to be James Zachary.

    Speaker A: But anyway, Congratulations to Adley Richmond and to Oregon and State baseball and all of just the shared success.

    Speaker B: Can I just say one last thing on that?

    Speaker A: Of course, always.

    Speaker B: I think it's one thing for him to enjoy the moment and everyone to love the fact that he enjoyed the moment.

    Speaker B: But doesn't that exude the confidence that I think these other players that feel pressured to not enjoy at the moment, it exudes confidence over that.

    Speaker B: I think being able to just go up there and not only enjoy the moment, but show others that you're enjoying the moment, a player that is at all worried about not performing to expectations is not going to make a public scene like that.

    Speaker B: Like, Adley is incredibly confident in what he can bring to the major League level.

    Speaker B: I think.

    Speaker C: Yeah, I agree.

    Speaker C: Just like the confidence in the fact that he knows that he could be himself and that's all he needs to be on the table.

    Speaker C: And even that's what his manager manager was saying, just keep doing what you're doing.

    Speaker C: He was kind of teasing him about why he was in the office, but I think that the message was still very much the same.

    Speaker A: It was a perfect set up by him because I think Adley hadn't caught that day.

    Speaker A: So he was like saying, I know you want to be out there, and I know you want to do everything to a young athlete.

    Speaker A: So I think he didn't catch or he had the whole day off.

    Speaker A: And you could sort of see the look on Adam's face.

    Speaker A: He wasn't like mad, but he's a competitor.

    Speaker A: He wants to get every episode and catch every pitch that he can.

    Speaker A: So he was like, doing just the very much like, yes, coach.

    Speaker A: Like, yes, coach, I hear you, coach type thing.

    Speaker A: And then it was like, yes, because some days we're going to hold you out and just know that you're going to Camden Yards.

    Speaker A: And then it was just kidding.

    Speaker A: And there's that smile and his teammates screaming and picking them up.

    Speaker A: Like, it's why we do this.

    Speaker A: It's why we're here.

    Speaker A: It's how we spend multiple hours a week yelling in the microphones about this gorgeous, f****** beautiful, hilarious University that we love more than anything, and the people.

    Speaker C: Who represent it all great.

    Speaker A: So keep chopping them, Adley.

    Speaker C: H***, yeah.

    Speaker A: Adley big things in your future.

    Speaker C: Way to go, sun.

    Speaker C: And don't listen to Terry, who said the umpire sun to you.

    Speaker C: You're ours, not the umpires.

    Speaker B: That's right.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker C: It's the expression I feel Robin Williams and Hook watching Captain Hook steal my son.

    Speaker C: The umpire.

    Speaker A: Blue.

    Speaker B: Yeah, be better blue.

    Speaker C: No, there's a really good baseball scene in Hook.

    Speaker A: Do you guys remember the baseball scene in Hook?

    Speaker A: I can't remember the last time I watched Hook.

    Speaker A: What?

    Speaker C: Dude, like, Jack is Peter's kid and he's up to the bat.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker C: And they're like, all the Pirates are cheering for him and whatever.

    Speaker C: Anyway, it was the way off topic now, but Adley, you are our we're going off topic.

    Speaker A: You know, the umpire probably called them sun in that moment.

    Speaker A: No, I wasn't advocating for anyone kidnapping Adley from you, JP, which is a weird sentence I didn't think I'd say out loud.

    Speaker A: I was just assuming what he probably said or how that conversation probably went.

    Speaker A: But that took us on a very belligerent tangent, which is what this podcast is known for.

    Speaker A: So thank you.

    Speaker C: You're welcome.

    Speaker A: What are you looking up right now?

    Speaker A: You're always looking up something when you don't mute yourself so that we can hear you typing.

    Speaker B: If there's any audio of the Umpire Adley conversation.

    Speaker C: Yeah, I'm trying to get to the bottom of it.

    Speaker C: I don't see anything.

    Speaker A: No evidence DM Adley would be like, did the umpire say, did he call you son?

    Speaker C: Son, don't forget who your dad?

    Speaker A: Hey, son, has anyone else tell you who your dads are?

    Speaker A: Yeah, man, I love it.

    Speaker A: That's like some modern family s***.

    Speaker A: All three of us are just dads of Adley.

    Speaker A: Great sitcom.

    Speaker A: Let's take it to Hollywood, you guys.

    Speaker A: All right, real quick.

    Speaker A: On men's basketball, it appears that the 2022 23 roster is finalized with the latest transfer news.

    Speaker A: We got guard Justin Rochlin from the Arizona State Sun Devils.

    Speaker A: Justin did not play last year.

    Speaker A: He's a former three star recruit from Encino, California.

    Speaker A: Pretty up in the air.

    Speaker A: We don't know much about them because we haven't seen them play College basketball before.

    Speaker A: But three star recruit?

    Speaker A: Nothing to sneeze that.

    Speaker A: And as our friend Sam said in the Blitz and Bees, discord, always really funny to take a prospect away from Bobby Hurley.

    Speaker A: So that's exactly what Tinkle did.

    Speaker A: He's ours now.

    Speaker A: And it looks like the squad for next year is set in place, and there is a lot that's going to happen between now and then.

    Speaker A: It's just that 328 is going to be hanging heavy over this entire off season.

    Speaker A: So I want all of the Payton heads who also listen to us and all the Oregon State men's basketball enthusiasts to just, you know, hang in there.

    Speaker A: As Sam said, in the Twitter spaces.

    Speaker A: It's going to be better than last year.

    Speaker A: It's not going to be worse.

    Speaker A: I will guarantee that the resident white blanket here is guaranteeing an over of 3.5% and taking the over to the bank.

    Speaker A: So we'll probably spend some time researching the new guys, including Justin and just hoping for the best.

    Speaker A: Hoping Tank will find some new magic with the new setup, but happy that it seems like we have the whole group, including the new assistant coaches and everyone in place.

    Speaker A: And now it's just time to get to work.

    Speaker C: Yeah, get through the mesh.

    Speaker B: Right.

    Speaker B: And I like this get you get a three star who I would imagine still has four years of eligibility that was plucked from an inconvenience school.

    Speaker B: So he's going to want to show up the Arizona State coaches.

    Speaker B: He didn't give him a chance and let them know what he can do.

    Speaker B: In fact, 12th place, so little bit of a chip on his shoulder, and I think that's what this team could use for sure.

    Speaker A: Also on Basketball JP's Golden State Warriors are on the doorstep of another NBA Finals appearance.

    Speaker A: Yeah, currently leading to Dallas Mavericks three games to zero.

    Speaker A: I guess Luca had a few too many pregame beers a few games ago, which means we might see our boy GP Two on the floor again.

    Speaker A: This even.

    Speaker A: I tend to not get excited with teams that have already won a number of rings when more rings, but I want to see our son, another one of our sons.

    Speaker A: We've had a lot of them called Crazy Time.

    Speaker A: Our son is two years younger than us.

    Speaker A: Get his ring.

    Speaker A: Also, GP Two had a great piece in the Players Tribune where he talks about this latest injury, missing the end of the Memphis series and missing so far the entire Western Conference finals.

    Speaker A: The idea of getting back out, but also on the backdrop of how hard he had to work to get to where he is now and when he got waived by the warriors.

    Speaker A: The fun anecdote in it this preseason.

    Speaker A: He asked the GM if he could just come back the next day and work out with the team and be around.

    Speaker A: He told his agent that if any other teams call, he just wants it clear that he's just trying to get back on the warriors because he knew that was the place for him.

    Speaker A: And I know all of our listeners who are mostly Blazers fans who had GP Two right in their grips, don't want to hear that I'm jealous, but also just how well GP Two played for the warriors and how just immaculately he fits into them to see his game elevate the way it is.

    Speaker A: And Steph has told Bob Meyers several times, you can't let Gary leave because I don't want him guarding me on another team.

    Speaker A: So if Steph Curry is saying that about you, there's not really any higher praise that you can get than that.

    Speaker B: And I can say as our resident Blazers fan, I'm 100% cheering for the warriors in GP two.

    Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, it sucks that we let him slip out of our grasp, but yeah, I just want him to do really well and he probably wouldn't have gotten the notoriety if he would have stayed on the Blazer.

    Speaker B: So it's probably a good thing I.

    Speaker C: Have been wearing my Gary Payton the second warriors outfit.

    Speaker A: You're not wearing it now?

    Speaker C: Well, I wear it for games.

    Speaker C: I've worn it every game since game two.

    Speaker C: After the foul and the injury, I swapped.

    Speaker C: What is my normal attire?

    Speaker C: My game day attire.

    Speaker A: You have to make that adjustment to defend Gary's honor.

    Speaker C: Exactly.

    Speaker C: And ever since then, I've been thinking, he's got to come back, we got to play so he can come back, so I can wear this as part of my game day process.

    Speaker C: And he would actually be playing.

    Speaker C: So I'd feel even way cooler to be wearing it and rooting them on.

    Speaker C: This seems nuts.

    Speaker C: I can't believe it that we're back where we are and we're even more lethal.

    Speaker C: We're twice as lethal when Gary can play because his defense and his playmaking abilities on the offensive side is just having a nose and know where to be, where no one else is.

    Speaker C: I mean, it's like he grabs boards.

    Speaker C: You seem to feel like there's no one there can get that ball.

    Speaker C: And he grabs the offensive rebound, he's cutting to the basket, he's running the fast break.

    Speaker C: This is like everyone knows all the defensive things he brings, but the energy and the speed at which he plays on the offensive side makes this team churn out points so much faster.

    Speaker C: And I think it's actually a missing component.

    Speaker C: Still, that's actually glaring as I've watched all their games this year.

    Speaker C: It's a glaring missing piece.

    Speaker C: And him coming back, hopefully coming back at some point as we hopefully make the finals, it will be great.

    Speaker C: I also want to point out that there was a lot of discussion about Steph Curry finally getting his diploma from Davidson.

    Speaker C: He just finished his year's final semester this last week and they asked Gary about it, which he had a great answer.

    Speaker C: And first, I love he calls Steph 30.

    Speaker C: He just calls him 30.

    Speaker C: Clearly your boys, if you just call each other your number 30.

    Speaker C: I'm so proud of him.

    Speaker C: Great.

    Speaker C: They just say Stephan Curry just got his diploma from Davidson, but Gary's also wrapping up in the next couple of weeks with his Oregon State degree.

    Speaker C: So Congratulations, GP two.

    Speaker C: Way to go, way to secure your future beyond basketball, way to just broaden your mind.

    Speaker C: Even if you never need the diploma or the piece of paper for any reason whatsoever, you did it.

    Speaker C: And so Congratulations early.

    Speaker C: Congratulations to you too.

    Speaker A: Good s***.

    Speaker A: Gp two.

    Speaker C: H*** yeah.

    Speaker A: I'm happy for him.

    Speaker B: The only thing that could be better than GP two.

    Speaker B: And the warriors winning the Championship this year would be if somehow the Celtics or Heat signed Dylan Brooks for the final series of it all.

    Speaker B: And GP two just like had a monstrous dunk on him.

    Speaker A: Well, I can tell you the low key Timberwolves version of that will be if the Heat make it.

    Speaker A: And Andrew Wiggins is one on one with Jimmy Butler for an entire seven game series.

    Speaker A: And I'm going to have to go to therapy every day that week and a half to just handle the capital T thoughts going through my brain and making sense of it all.

    Speaker A: But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

    Speaker A: Prompts the GP to read that pizza and the players reviewing if you haven't yet.

    Speaker A: And as always, we are a golf podcast.

    Speaker A: So we do have to get Machete.

    Speaker C: And a golf school.

    Speaker A: And a golf school with the great Tristan Tree Golf Course.

    Speaker A: The best golf course on the planet.

    Speaker A: Better than Augusta.

    Speaker C: Why are you laughing?

    Speaker A: Better than St.

    Speaker A: Andrews?

    Speaker A: I'm not laughing.

    Speaker A: I'm smiling because of how true it is.

    Speaker A: The Pebble Beach.

    Speaker C: It kind of makes it out of water.

    Speaker C: It's nice.

    Speaker C: Like that isn't.

    Speaker A: Pebble beach is in the Bay.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker A: Okay.

    Speaker A: Yeah, I can get behind this.

    Speaker C: Yeah, cool.

    Speaker B: The Augusta of Oregon.

    Speaker A: We're not talking about golf courses.

    Speaker A: We're talking about golfer.

    Speaker A: Carson Barry advanced as an individual men's NCAA Championships.

    Speaker A: Great stuff.

    Speaker A: Got to give this man his props.

    Speaker A: I'm sorry that you guys keep making me laugh in the middle of all of these all the time.

    Speaker C: And these Championships are.

    Speaker C: Where are these Championships, Brian?

    Speaker A: Texas?

    Speaker A: No, in Scottsdale.

    Speaker A: I smoked pot with Scottie, Dale.

    Speaker B: Scott and Dale.

    Speaker A: In Scottsdale, Arizona, so he could do, like, some weather scouting for the baseball team.

    Speaker A: If Mitch wants to hook them up.

    Speaker C: With an Nil deal, they're playing at the same time.

    Speaker C: It starts Friday.

    Speaker A: Oh, d***.

    Speaker A: Greyhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale.

    Speaker A: Have you played there, JP?

    Speaker C: No.

    Speaker B: I bet.

    Speaker B: It's so nice, though.

    Speaker A: Oh, guys, this was in Bryan, Texas.

    Speaker A: Carson Barry held on to win a playoff Wednesday and will advance the NCAA Championships in Scottsdale, Arizona.

    Speaker C: Oh, my God.

    Speaker C: He didn't even read the first sentence.

    Speaker A: Of Barry finished his final round at two over 74, finishing 54 holes with a three under 213.

    Speaker A: He went to a tiebreaker playoff with SMUS Noah Goodwin, TCU's America Lifto and Alabama's Canon Clay Comb to determine who would advance to the NCAA Championships as the player who finishes highest on a non advancing team.

    Speaker A: Both Barry and Goodwin advanced the second play off round after shooting par at the 440 yard par four 18th hole, buried in shot par at the 439 yard par four 9th toll to advance.

    Speaker A: So we do love Cannon Clay Comb, but not when he's going up against one of our own.

    Speaker C: S***.

    Speaker A: Claycomb, you just got Carson.

    Speaker C: Oh, no, I don't do that.

    Speaker A: Okay?

    Speaker A: Not a thing.

    Speaker A: Carson.

    Speaker A: Congrats, man.

    Speaker A: H*** yeah.

    Speaker C: Keep it up, Carson.

    Speaker UNK: Job.

    Speaker A: Try and stay cool.

    Speaker A: Best you can in Scottsdale.

    Speaker A: We'll be following better than we did this one.

    Speaker A: That's a promise.

    Speaker C: Yeah.

    Speaker A: Jp, you're our golf course.

    Speaker A: You need to keep me in line on this Friday.

    Speaker C: I'll throw it on the picture.

    Speaker A: Picture may 27.

    Speaker A: Go get them, Carson.

    Speaker A: F*** up.

    Speaker A: That really nice.

    Speaker A: Golf course.

    Speaker A: Probably.

    Speaker B: I bet it's so nice.

    Speaker B: I really do.

    Speaker A: I bet you the beers there are so expensive.

    Speaker B: A $35 double IPA.

    Speaker A: It's probably one of those ones where you can buy them in one of those big sort of plastic bags with a bunch of ice in it so it stays cool while you play golf in Scottsdale for like a while.

    Speaker B: It lasts for the first hole.

    Speaker A: Well, I mean, the ice will eventually melt, but it keeps the beer colder longer than it would have if they just handed you a beer.

    Speaker C: Do you guys want to play Greyhawk?

    Speaker C: We could play.

    Speaker A: Are you paying for it?

    Speaker C: No.

    Speaker B: Okay.

    Speaker C: We could play 18 holes for like $160.

    Speaker A: Okay.

    Speaker A: That's not as bad as I thought.

    Speaker C: It was going to be.

    Speaker A: Probably still no.

    Speaker C: Do you guys want to do a 630 a Mt.

    Speaker C: Time and just crush beers all morning?

    Speaker B: If there was 105 out of the hiding?

    Speaker B: Yeah, for sure.

    Speaker A: I don't know.

    Speaker A: I can crush beers at 06:30 a.m.

    Speaker A: For way less money.

    Speaker C: You do it for love.

    Speaker B: The difference between crushing porters at 09:00 in the evening on a fall afternoon versus crushing porters at 06:00 in the morning and 105 degree day are the most polar opposite experiences.

    Speaker B: But you're doing the same thing.

    Speaker A: It's a versatile beer, but it's not that d*** versatile.

    Speaker A: No.

    Speaker A: Maybe one like right at 630 that you sip slowly, starting indoors.

    Speaker C: Yeah, we'd go watch football.

    Speaker C: And I mean, it wasn't 630, but.

    Speaker A: We would go, what football game are we watching at 630?

    Speaker C: No, I'm saying we go to Claudes at like ten 930 and we order Black View porters for breakfast.

    Speaker A: You forget how early everything starts.

    Speaker A: Yeah.

    Speaker C: Don't you miss it?

    Speaker A: Terry moved back.

    Speaker A: I kind of do.

    Speaker A: I think 10:00 a.m.

    Speaker A: Kick off is easier to handle than like 06:30 a.m.

    Speaker B: Golf.

    Speaker A: Well, that.

    Speaker A: But also like Pack Twelve after dark on Central time or East Coast.

    Speaker B: Yes.

    Speaker B: I don't know why the Pack Twelve does that.

    Speaker B: That's a rabbit hole we don't need to get into.

    Speaker B: But that's not smart having a game start at 10:00 p.m..

    Speaker B: Eastern time.

    Speaker A: I think US ranting about the dumb thing for the Pac Twelve Conference say that first summer.

    Speaker A: It's exactly why we have listeners to this ridiculous whatever show that we call the Belligerent Beast Podcast.

    Speaker A: That is all that we have for this episode of Belligerent Beavers.

    Speaker A: Beaver FAM, thank you so much for tuning in again.

    Speaker A: Thank you to everyone again for the millionth time, who tuned in to our birthday tourist spaces almost two weeks ago.

    Speaker A: Thank you to everyone who said what up to JP at GOs everyone who's buying.

    Speaker A: Merch thank you to the softball team in general for taking us on this ride.

    Speaker A: This has been so much f****** fun and we are so excited for this weekend.

    Speaker A: Good luck and Palo Alto crushed the Cardinal.

    Speaker A: Y'all are Ballers.

    Speaker A: We believe in you.

    Speaker A: Chop them.

    Speaker A: Go Beaver, get your chainsaws up, whatever they're doing.

    Speaker A: Lauren Berg keep those knuckles on your hips and looking stern at the camera.

    Speaker A: It's working.

    Speaker A: It's so intimidated.

    Speaker A: It's so intimidated for my team coach as well as myself.

    Speaker A: Jp Bertram at thetrialj on Twitter at JP Bertram on Instagram.

    Speaker A: Benjamin Lawrence, Sebastian BH.

    Speaker A: Jka.

    Speaker A: Give us a five star review on Apple and Spotify, please.

    Speaker A: We need to put some more effort into getting those numbers back up.

    Speaker A: We did good and review on Apple.

    Speaker A: We like hearing from you but only 12345 stars apiece, especially on Spotify.

    Speaker A: We want to get that rating public because that would be a nice feather in our caps.

    Speaker A: Share the show with a friend, join the Patreon, get in the discord, talk.

    Speaker B: Some s*** with us.

    Speaker A: It's a lot of fun.

    Speaker A: And also on top of all that remember that no matter how hard you try or any kind of duck fan talking about baseball on Twitter tells you you cannot spell to chop them without help.

    Speaker C: Chop them, chop them.

    Speaker A: Bring back Bernie.
