It was well attended, I can say that much. I mean it was so

But look, we gotta we gotta get to it, you know.

But before we get to the rest of the show, we gotta, you know, have some message from our friends over a gray Matter exchange great matters.

All right, putting that jersey on, because look, we went to mun Ice Arena and they had it right there, and I saw cleaves jersey and an IRV in jersey. I got a little jealous. So that one they came out with some jersey for me and Shine producers.

Shot.

I got a jersey too, but no strayhorn on them. Back Amen, Seawan shown the IRV. You can't you can't do it. You can't turn around.

Like a little kid in the candy store. Hey man, time, man, it was a blessing. I was so happy. And they gave it thirty three. Oh man, when you talking about Mama made it? Mama really media baby.

That was beautiful. Got the jersey. I think we had pictures taking uh you, me and Ma teen.

Stoke, go back to that, Sean, what we got, Oh you know former state senator US Senator DeBie staving Ow. There's there's my team right there hanging out. I mean, hey, man, Sparty was in the house. I mean, hey, it was. It was one hell of a weekend. Speaking of the weekend, before we get into you know, other sports today is gonna be donated a

Man, what was that atmosphere like in Breslan? Straight? First of all, right, mm hmm.

I want to take the people to us arriving to the stadium, you know what I mean, because it was jam packet was traffic. But that's why I'm saying, people don't understand how much power you have. You know what I mean, because you almost like I know you was on the board.

You like the man.

We had a path that could have got us in with Underground. Now that one rose apart, I mean with Harriet, you know what I mean? Right, it come back to me, I know we could have went underground with her, you know what I mean, lit on top and then we went right through. When we went right through, we pauled right up front. We had all the VIP access, you know, and that's what this is part of MS you do to you, you know. But walking in there and be

A Jason Richardson, were not knowing that his son, We're gonna go for twenty nine. You know, look at it.

I can't make this up. Ain't no other Parker can do this. We ain't have to tag for we ain't paid for it. He's a matter of fact. We did him a favor.

Hey man, rich right, I was right before.

Did I want to paint the picture for the people? I know we got.

But then we go up there in the suite. I still remember the number even though I got ct E one twenty six. If you think we're lying, you ever go to the stadium walk by a sweet one twenty six and when you walk in you got the fresh hot hot hot dogs them chocolate chip, cooking all the drinks you can drain, and then I had, Then we had.

Oh.

Then Kyra took a great picture of me sitting there like I man, just so many memories in that game, and for us to be down and shun the producer thought we was gonna lose.

He said, we needed Jesus. I guess we had. I guess we had baby.

Jesus with with with little Junior Richison, because he gave us a spark that we needed. And I kept he kept saying the whole day. It was what kind of point turn around twenty eight? And I can't I couldn't understand it. I got on the plane, I said, damn, why he keeps saying a twenty eight we were down fourteen, but then we win by fourteen.

Won't he do it? Won't he do it every time? I mean, that was a huge swing right there.

When we talk about how bad they looked in the first half, I know coach Izoe talked about a little bit in this post game.

He said, I don't give a shit about the first half because it was bad.

They came out roar and they said they all focused on that two thousand team that championship, the national championship team that was in attendance, swear.

I mean you talk about Jason Richardson who was there, and my team.

The reason they were all back in town was because it was a reunion weekend celebrating that national championship run. We know a lot of those guys, you know, talking about what that meant to Michigan State and you personally.

Okay, let me painting the picture of Mama Hall you won their baby. Well you should have been there. Mama Hall would have hold your hand and walked you right your baby with that.

And then not just that when we was we was right there, Oregon come out and then we stuck on the on the on the court and were giving him that like they thought we was part of the stay up.

She's you know, back to back BG ten champions. They did honor those girls from the past two seasons winning Big ten championships. She came back, she brought her

In Michigan State Hockey, first game not so good.

We were there, energy was great, lose heartbreaker in the last fifty seconds to the one to the school down the road. But they faced them again. Man went down to the duel and the d in Little Caesars Arena. And now just back to back when from Michigan State Hockey, you know, beating the school down the road six to one.

What it was that highway were going because you were driving fastest here when we have to go down here, they went to green and you know who got a green jersey?

Oh the thing I learned.

The thing that I learned, And I sat by somebody up there in the sweeps again because that's only how you roll in this suite, because you know them all we had a lot of we had a lot and I learned two minutes and then five minute penalties, So it was a lot of times that that that game for us to only lose about one, we had more two minutes and five minute penalises than Michigan did, and they had the more opportunities to have I want to say on four or four whatever it's called, like I say,

But then you know, but then they went to the green, all green and green, and who had the green jersey? Sword you have it?

Hey man, that's that's that was a beautiful win from hockey and coach Nightingale, you know, congratulates to him. I mean, those guys are scrappy and being able to go down in mun and see their locker room. I mean that was a place we've never seen before.

He's a two home grown young men.

You know, you talk about guys who played their high school football and baseball. You know, I just let the cat out of bag on one of the young men right now, because you know, he's a two sports star over at Rochester Adams, another star coming out of Orchard Lake, Saint Mary's List. There's nothing but the best here on. This is part of MSU. We're gonna bring on them right now. Parker Peacock and Ryan McKay joined. This is part of MSU. How you guys doing, fellas doing amazing.

Thanks for having us on doing good, Yes, sir, thank you, oh man.

Thank you both for being here. MSU baseball at its finest right now. And you know, look, we'll start with you Parker, a guy who started out at Rochester Adams and you you know, I mean, you're just a star baseball player.

And the two sport athlete at that.

You know, you played football, you know, talking to football players here, you know, talk about that transition you had between baseball.

Season and going into football, Like, which one did you?

What was your first love?

I'd say it's hard, man. Both both are amazing sports. Baseball was no doubt my first love. But I mean it's it's hard to beat that. That Friday night feeling going around and hitting people, scoring touchdowns. It's hard to beat that. So I'd say, I don't know, Baseball definitely first love. I enjoyed playing baseball, you know, more than anything on this world. So but yeah, there's there's nothing like those friday night lights. I'll tell you that, that's for sure.

Okay, I see, I see the by What position did you play in football?

I played quarterback and starting safety.

Okay, so you you had you had the pretty girlfriend who was home coming queen.

Oh yeah, oh yeah, Parker.

But pe P, I'm gonna call you Pete double, pet double. You gotta think about it. If I was YouTube old sweat, I played baseball to my sophomore year. But if they was getting six hundred million a year or whatever the contracts they were getting, now, I probably would have stayed with it too.

You wasn't wrong.

It's unreal what guys are getting nowadays.

Oh, I know, it's it's incredible.

Ryan.

You talk about your upbringing or to lay Saint Mary's where you played the prep ball.

Where'd you start playing baseball?

How old were you?

I was probably three or four years old.

My mom would bundle up these little socks and I would throw them on the windshield and try to get them stuck up there. And then next thing you know, they figured I was pretty good at that, and then my dad put a bat in my hand, and I mean ever since then I was, I was playing ball.

Damn three or four years old. I mean, yeah, sorry, that's what you say.

You do with your kids, You make him play when they're two years old and lines their five.

I gave him a fake bursa tip, right right, I gave mine as a fake bursta tippy.

So your dad and parent they wasn't wrong. They did. They had to because the day straight playing these But you never you can, you can. You can go to school.

I mean we made some great students, right, they going to school four five years, six years, this and this, and you can be successful. You ain't gonna get no one time signing bonus. Come on, I figured I started early. You know, we could roll the dice, you know, because I didn't teach them how to read the ride figure out private school for that.

Now yeah, right, who t one? Do you played for the hit Dogs? I watched some of your social media, but say they ain't running the world over there. I know about Motive City hit Dogs. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, So high level baseball in Michigan, Like, what is it in your mind compared to the rest of the country as far as baseball and what what?

What?

What?

What are you guys?

I mean.

Really especially within my high school we played since I mean we were pretty good school, so we played studs like guys. We always they always do their best arms at us, and they were always in the you know, load high high eighties, load nineties.

So Michigan baseball is definitely up there within the fifty states.

So right, you won, you won the state, you won a national championship.

Yeah yeah in twenty twenty one and then twenty twenty two.

So I say it now when I go to img sway right, is the post wrect there? Because IMG what they just wanted last year national championship.

Yeah, they're legit to.

So what I want to know is is that is that when when you come to have a nasal championship, do y'all play like the World Series?

They don't do you don't play each other. They just like Perfect Game and other other you know, Baseball America. They just post rankings. Oh god, okay, based on there there's uh their schedule on their record. So like my junior year we went forty four and oh so they just kind of made.

Us run, Timmy, because you know that we had we had some lady, our lady softball players on here. One was a picture and she swear. They swear, I'm not gonna get a tip ball Ryan me. You know what I mean, I'm gonna get a hit. And when I get a hit, Ryan, I'm gonna that motherfucker.

Okay, swear We're gonna ask them, can you would you get a hit? No, they're not pictures now because you strike them out. These young men right here. Yeah.

Man, First of all, they got no facial hair, so I'm not stead of them. I can look at that, look at their room. Compared to the to the football player rule, it ain't so much action going in there, so they really I got them.

They're still don't let the smooth taste fool you. Man, don't judge books by the couple.

So you're saying I won't strike them out. You said I won't strike them out, striking man? You okay? What do you do?

He double and Ryan, I'm coming to a baseball game, dammit, all you love like like like miss Lindsey, did I want my jersey?

Boss?

No?

No, no, I'm not calling nobody. I got two of the stars right here, like, and they gonna get me up because I'm Uncle Swerve. If not, we're just not gonna strap them out straight. I slapped the ship.

Let's go.

I'm coming, baby, I'm coming. First of all, I gotta go back this mass, I mean mass mass. Y'all ever be in a mass on a Saturday night? Hey, listen, if you have, I know you have it, because if y'all have, your room will look different. No, no, no, I'm Uncle Swerve, you know, So I'm gonna tell you that. First of all, you.

Can't lose if you go to Man on a Saturday night.

So I think those that's the Freudian slip man, This smash Mash Mash Mash Mass if you go to mass.

Man, listen man, guys.

So you guys both played with the Hit Dogs and you both had great prep careers obviously Rochester Adol for you, Parker, and then Ryan you over or to Lake Saint Mary's. But then you both happened to team up and partner up with Charitable Get the America right, and you both ended up having charities in your choice. We know that one of the big components of Charitable Get the Americas. They asked for you to donate five percent of your nil contract back to a charity in your choice.

So, Ryan, who did you choose?

Yeah, Satan Jude's Children Research Hospital. And the reason behind that was kind of because my dad, he's been donating there for twenty eight years now. Yeah, I just kind of wanted to, you know, I guess, carry on the tradition and keep that going. Even though you know it's a small donation by anything, I think anything helps.

So that's kind of the reasoning behind that.

Oh wow, So taking out your father's footsteps with that, Yes, sir.

So Ryan, is that I know I'm off, you know, don't mind, man, I got ct Is that is that the hospital that I would do the traditional thing they do of the wave.

Is that same juice too? Uh yes, yes, okay, cool.

Yeah, it's a big it's a big time hospital. They have them down in Tampa. Yeah there too.

Yeah, they do some special things for sure.

Awesome.

That's very good for you to be able to do that, and you have an example already in your household. You know, that's not something that everybody has, which is great for you.

Uh so, Parker.

So I chose the American Cancer Society. I chose that that in particular just because I've had several family members impacted by cancer and passed away from it. But I just think it's it's very important to you know, they help out several several families by you know, their donations are are are for gaining intel on research, trying to figure out the next cure for cancer or whatever it might be, or something you know, just as little as helping out a family with with bills or you know,

Yeah, that's beautiful.

I mean, cancers hit I don't know a family that hasn't been touched by cancer unfortunately, and trying to find a cure for that terrible disease is something that everybody should be striving to do, because it doesn't make sense to me. Like we can we can, we can flat at the moon, we can hear, we can see everything that's going on, you know, under the depths of the oaks. We cannot figure this disease out. With all the technology and the bright people that we have on this planet.

The guys, you know, when you talk about not only that that charitable.

Component, we got to get a little bit into the extras and those the game of baseball, and you guys open up this week on the road you go and get up. I don't know, I mean, your travel is nuts. You get on the road to North Carolina. You know the weather is gonna be okay, but I think you gotta get it. What time do you hit to what's your travel.

Plans, leaving at two am Thursday morning day, pulling all nighter.

Yeah, man, don't go to mash before with the victory party.

But b double, you know what, we were still in school. We was I was still try to go to Madge before I get on the plane.

It's an easy way to stay up.

Man.

Now when y'all leave at two am, are y'all private?

I think I think we're flying public here, flying out of Detroit probably.

Oh so you're going to six o'clock like now, some yeah.

About like three. But with all that, you know that weather coming. They're like, all right, we gotta leave at two now, So I mean it makes it better.

So now we just stay up all night.

Yeah.

Yeah, So you guys get out there and go to North Carolina and then you're gonna have a a couple.

You're gonna you're gonna tangle with Western Michigan. M Okay.

Now, so actually playing outside now, this is something we asked the softball players. You know the difference between being able to practice inside and outside at game speed.

Now, so you best both want p double. You're an outfield and centerfield.

You track the balls and the pop flies and some one hoppers and things like that, you know, and and Ryan you your second basement and with middle infielder little short mostly second, so he's got to have great hands. So how do you adjust to like being able to play in a real game versus what you have been able to practice with them that.

You can say so far, Yeah, I mean doing it. I mean being on dirt my whole life. You're you know, you're used to the dirt. But even though we're inside right now, we're on turf. It'll be it'll be a little adjustment getting used to, uh, you know, being on dirt again, because we haven't been on dirt since the fall.

Pretty much we're on, like on the dirt five days a week, so.

Getting used to that.

We practice Thursday night on the field, so that'll be nice to get some reps there. But uh, it's it's it's nothing crazy because it's just clockwork, you know, once you've been playing for this long.

Wow, so pop lives.

Yeah, So it'll definitely it'll be it'll be good to get back outside. Like Ryan said on that Thursday, I think the hardest part for us is, I mean, as outfielders, I mean we're contained in that that little dome. It's hard to get you know, actual reads and stuff like that off off the bat, and I mean for everyone on the on the defense, it's hard to you know,

So that'll be big.

But it's it's it's been a challenge being inside. But I think we've dealt with it very well. And I think we've prepared as much as we can prepare.

See, this is the thing right now, if I was to get them right now, straight, I strike both of the ass out.

Why do you say so?

What you say that? Because right now?

Because right now they're not used to the dirt and it's not they're not used to this. See, most people don't know when I can do this this when you know you played a little baseball, right, Come.

On, where do you find when I right the wrist, you know what's coming right to the heater?

Right?

Because they teach you to read from up here from the wrist, right, am I right? Come, I don't talk to.

Your uncle man personally.

Thank you.

I'm not coming back up until it it gets hotter, because it was twenty four degrees. Ryan, I'm probably gonna get y'all in the tournaments, I mean team, because now this is what we go. I know I'm gonna get a chance to throw the pitch out and I'm gonna have my jersey. This is what we're gonna set up with the coach.

Dammit.

I'm gonna come during the week and we're gonna I'm telling you, but it's gonna be hard, because y'all gonna be you know, in full season, you're gonna be going.

But if I call him right now straight, or I get both on with the heater.

We're done. We're done.

We're gonna want hop that thing across the place.

You're gonna be out of it's sixty feet now, that's not this ain little league ready, straight.

The last time we've seen.

The picture of guns like that, never both sides.

I saw Rocker the other he was fighting somebody fighting mahomes daddy. You know, you know that's he looked a little yoked up. But that's an old school baseball player, man. A closer, So you're gonna come out of the bullpen and strike these boys. Come on, what do you think you're gonna get? What's your mile part hour?

You can't tell me, seem.

You should have came up here in the fall and pitched her us so we could have gotten better.

Yeah, it ain't too.

Okay, then I hear fifty five in a dream. That ain't nothing to me. Man. Five. Yeah, you know what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna go find my baseball picture. The next show, we're gonna pu him. I'm gonna let y'all know. I'mn tell y'all think I'm telling listen.

I know, well, listen.

You know, Swerve is from Miami, so he grew up around a lot of baseball players, a lot of great baseball players.

I said, he swears he as good as Alex Rodriguez. You know, but I don't.

I just don't I don't know. You played, You went to the sport that you was good at. He was a running back. That's why he was swerving. Earth, Why are you trying to be? Why he's trying to be a picture.

Now and a batter, you know what? Straight?

Hold on, hold on, hold on, Yeah, y'all, don't think fat me grease, hold hold on, hold on, God, Look, you know.

I apologize for all the shenanigans here.

What swerve?

He thinks that he can strike you out? I don't.

I don't think so. You guys are being very nice about that. But we're talking about, Oh good lord, what is this?

Whoa? Whoa?

What is that?

Miami Harrold Athlete of the Year award? And then you know what, I'm the same baseball, all straight football bad man.

I played it all straight. Look at me, you're telling my mom I made it. That trophy looks like it's from the forties.

You God damn right. Look what is that?

The is that the European the what is that?

The open?

It looks like a golf trophy from his trophy will be with me when they put in your casket, when the casket clothes, they better put this one with me.

It's my baby. I love my kids, but they they coming for my baby. Hark Man.

Look, you started off when you came out of out of Rochester atas you went down to Alabama.

You were roll tied at first before you transferred up.

Yeah, I was.

Yeah, how was that experience down there?

I mean it was good, the people were great. It just wasn't the right fit for me.

You know, I going down there as a kid, you know, you think about think about all the big things, but not necessarily all the little things. So when I kind of got down there, I kind of realized, you know, what what those little things were and what they meant to me, and it just didn't line up with me. So figured I'd leave there and find what's best for me.

Yeah.

Man, we glad to have you back.

Oh yeah, say that much.

You know.

So you you you originally signed with Alabama, and then you know, when you look at yourself, Ryan, you got recruited by a lot of from South Carolina, Notre Dame school down the road.

And you turned those guys down to come to East Lands.

Yeah.

I had four siblings that went here.

None of them played a sport, but kind of just carry on that tradition, and obviously the campus is amazing and I love, you know, just the atmosphere here.

I love.

I love big things, and like going to football games. Everything's big.

You know, there's so many fans, and just to be in that environment and to say I'm a part of it is pretty awesome. And yeah, like I said, the four siblings, so I was able to come here and you know, play a sport and it's been amazing so far.

So that's kind of what it led into that decision.

Right, last year, you know, you came in as a freshman at or too late Saint Mary. It's two time, I mean, but national champion. You know, you both played for the hit Dolls. But Ryan, you came in and then made tenth. You knock out your first home run as a spark, Right, how did that feel?

Yeah?

I mean it was getting pretty late in the season and I was like, all right, maybe my freshman year, I'm not going to have any bombs, and then out of no where, you just you hit the home run and then it's just like it's just like you don't remember it. So running around the bases, it went by like that, and then I ended up hitting my second one like two games, Yeah, the same exact weekend. So I don't know what was in me that weekend, but that was probably it's up there in my baseball career moments.

That was.

That was amazing. And my mom was there and I got to do it on Mother's Day, so that was special.

Oh yeah, yeah against at Minnesota.

Yeah, Minnesota. Both of them were like in the same spin right center field.

So that was that was cool. Oh man, that's beautiful man, I mean being able to yeah, second.

Base for power.

I love it. So fella, what's the what's the team goals?

You know that well, you know, but like I told, you know, the ladies, I sit back, you know, I love to watch sports, you know what I call the second half of the season. And I actually saw the softball in Oklahoma came back. I learned they won four in a row and things like that. Even with baseball. Baseball is kind of you know, I get lost when it comes to the playoff time because it's like you got to win best two out of three or something

I think I think this year, I mean just from reading up. Obviously I wasn't here last year, but I know last year I don't think went the way everyone wanted. So I think I think this year that everyone's kind of taking the approach as you know, the only way is up. You know, we're not being hunted. Nobody's hunting us were the hunters. So I think, you know, we got a lot of a lot of guys on the team that can play, a lot of guys coming back from from Tommy John that will make an impact on the mound.

So that'll be huge for us.

And I think, you know, personal goals just play involved, you know, hitting homers, having fun, making catches. So I think that's that's what it's what's in it for me.

Yeah, at the end of the day, that's what baseball is all about. And the camaraderie.

They talk about your teammates, you know, have you been able to adjust coming in, you know as a transfer because you knew a lot of the players obviously for your your high school career.

Pete double a hundred percent.

So I mean, these the guys are great. You know a lot of guys are from around here, and you know it's just it's fun to be on the team. You're laughing every day. You're going to war every day with your guys, So I mean, we're sweating every day working out. It's it's it's a blast. So I had no problem coming in here and making you know, fifty new friends, forty new friends.

So it's amazing, that's incredible.

You know you have baseball.

I mean there's a lot of changes coming when you're looking at the new reform with revenue sharing and things

Five guys. Eglitz.

Is that Eglitz are now going to come to East Lands? And like, what are you thinking about when you see so much? I guess there's a lot of a lot a lot of people looking at or to Lake Saint Mary's now because of the sports prominence that you guys.

Have over there. Yeah.

I mean when I was there baseball, you know, we obviously were a little biased, but we think we met. I had the you know, the best baseball team like in Michigan history because we were we were pretty good. And then we got a lot of Orchid Lake, uh, orch Lake Saint Mary's guys here right now on the baseball team that I'm playing with. We got a couple so guys have played with in the past, and you got we got basketball team at Saint Mary's. Studs on

I swear, isn't that with my team? Son? Go yeah, yeah, I mean I mean so yeah, this seemed when we were.

Up there last I mean they were talking about Orchi Lake being that I MG type of place.

Seems like it's becoming that.

Uh, you know, when you look at like the success that they're having in so many different areas. You what, So when you the culture there, who is the driving force behind that?

I mean there's a lot, a lot that goes into it. We got you know, obviously we're in a suit and tie every day. So the culture, it's it's pretty awesome because my class was about a little over one hundred guys, so it's not very big. And I really think like

Oh man, b w you get a chance to go to lake and hang out sometimes. Man, See see some of the guys that are coming out.

Not much, not much.

I'll tell you what they came. They came to play.

They came to play football at Rochester Adams and you know we let them know about the US public school guys.

Yeah.

Well we never got the team to play him in baseball. We did a few years back, but not when I was there, so you got to give it to him though they're they're good.

So in football, y'all kick dead. That's what he's trying to say right there, guys, I mean, he's trying to say. He said, it's great.

That's what I heard.

That's what I heard, you know.

I mean, guys, you know, talking about the season coming up. You know, Jake Boss, your coach. You know, what does he mean to you guys? And how's he keep everybody focused on the prize? That said I'm talking about winning championships?

Yeah, I mean, now I've you know, it's my second year with him, and I love Coach Boss. He was obviously a huge reason why I came here, and he's he prepares us really well because it's not I'm sure it's not easy coaching and you know this weather, especially at this time. So the way he prepares us every single day at practice, it is uh, it's it's very well, it's very good.

And he's a huge reason why I'm here. And I trust him with everything.

So you know, if he gives me a task to do, I do it because I trust his preparation that it's going to make me the best player. And you know, me in the fall last year and then going into my freshman season, I changed completely and it just shows you know his plan for each player and how much it works.

So Coach Boss, I trust him like like crazy.

For sure. Man got up here one hundred percent.

I think, you know, coming in as a transfer, you know, I didn't know too much about Coach Boss, but as soon as I got here, I mean, he's just one of those guys. He's been around the game for a while, as long with his dad who's coached here for a long long time. And you know, you just hear how much he loves the game, how much he knows about

Well, guys, I mean, it's it's been a pleasure having both of you on the show.

You know, we really are gonna be watching the progress that you guys make, especially this weekend when you go out to North Carolina face Western Michigan and then mon month. I know you got to back to back against those guys you know, and Dayton. You round out the weekend against Dayton. Listen, we'll be cheering for you and hope you guys knock out a few take a few.

So this is something that, you know, that's why we partnered with them, That's why we love what they do so much. It's difficult, man, if the end of those kinds of things just tithing in a way, you know, giving back and helping the community be at a place. That's what we're all here to do. So for Sedri Garvan, I'm Jason straight Horn. This is spiraling
