I kind of got a little bit of a lady that was hitting the gym. What you see Marine?

Oh? Started off? Brother, Let's go week some baby.

How y'all doing? How you doing? Everybody?

Shit?

Irvan's in the house, you know he did you?

You look good, Boddy.

I ain't do it like you because nobody can do it like you. Let's start over real quick. Five four three two one, got all.

Right, man.

Look it's Thursday, March sixth, twenty twenty five.

This is Sparta.

I mean, host Jason Straight going along with my co host Cedric Swerve and Irban, who's already been on here while I was delayed a little bit from him, you know, the airport and things like that happened. But we're glad everybody's with us. State it's halftime. I know right now it's faring am struggling a little bit with Iowa. But

Oh, man, I appreciate it, and I also want to, you know, give a shot to Oh. I'm not even gonna say fans, I'm gonna say friends. It's part of MSU, you know, reached out and whether it was text or whether it Facebook or Instagram, you know, it meant a lot to me and my family. Man, So you know, I appreciate it. But that's out the way.

Let's go. We ain't got to talk about that shit no more.

They ain't got to talk about that shit no more. Hey man, we're gonna talk about that a lot. It's all good. It's life. It's part of life. But listen, so I know you you've done to help job holding it down. But look, first, we got to get these message from our friends over a great matter exchange.

That's it.

Just like a bad player can cost your team the game overpaying for shipping can cost your business. Great Matter exchange your all star team for shipping savings will help you score big with up to thirty percent savings on your ups and FedEx costs.

Swerve right now, I mean, look Great Matter Exchange Michael Gray.

Everybody able to take a look at him. He saved you a whole lot of money and doesn't cost you anything for doing that. Take a look at Great Matter Exchange. The Swerve misters a basketball We know right now they have a share at least of the Big Ten title for the regular season.

We just call it.

This is a Big Ten title, man, that's what they got. Trying to get it without sharing it with those folks down the road. With the win tonight, they will do that or a win on Sunday. We like both of them, right, Swerve, What do you think is going on right now with the spark man?

What do you before that? Straight?

Can you explain to I know Coach Mareen probably on the can explain it as well, But explain that to me what you saying even if we lose tonight, we still got a chance to win this weekend and still win the Big ten outright?

Or how did that go?

Yes, So if Mischigan State wins either one of these games today or the one against Michigan at the head, they win it out right. Misiter State wins it outright. If you lose both games, share the title.

Share the title with who?

Yeah, oh no, no.

No, no, So what happened now? Right now? Even as a player, let's let's let's get in the players shoes right now.

Straight, you get to a point where no one really gave you a chance to, you know, be in the top ten. Really, who would who would have thought that coming off the season last not saying the season was so bad last year, but you know, you got a freshman and Richard, you got new players, you plug it in or whatever it was.

And now you rank number eighth in the country.

Now you go in this game, before you even got on the plane or whatever it was, you knew you know, you got you gotta share of the big ten.

So yeah, the first.

Half is gonna be a little shaky because you know, like we out there, ain't we're playing with But now I think those guys buckled down and they look at each other in the eyes and at halftime and say, hey, let's stop playing. I just go ahead and lock this thing in and just do what we gotta do and let's just be big ten champions outright. So I think we take over right now, four to six, from three point hours three, from ten to sixteen points in the paint,

That's that's exactly right, eight points off the bench. Michigan State right now trails by seven in Iowa City right now against the hawkives halftime. It's about the end any minute now, you know. Cold You know, I'm listening to the game. I'm following it as i'm driving in. Just now that there's a lot of threes thrown up there. Like you just said percentages right there, they were just not hot shooting. But we've seen this out of Michigan State before when we were there at the Brezel Center.

And that was the day that coach Iso tied byby Night for the record.

I can imagine the game too where we hit the half court shot. You know.

That was a game where were only score fifty some points, I think, and and we win it at the end on a three point half court shot. So imagine the percentage in that game. And I don't even know, but I'm willing to bet you won the high you know. So I can't wait till the second half. You know, I'm the type of person I want to see the last five to three minutes of the game straight, Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,

So look and tipping off right now, it's just the swerve of irving babies.

They down there in Indianapolis.

You know, you got Mischigan State women's basketball tipping off against Wait a minute, hold on, man.

They playing Iowa too?

Is that right.

Today?

At nine pm?

Baby?

Oh it just started.

Yeah, both Michigan State men's and women are playing Iowa, but ones in the tournament. Ones on the road at Iowa right now? Is that correctly? My reason is correctly. I'm a little flaxed because it's just getting off delayed twice. Man up in Atlanta's not my thing, swear.

Look, hey, but one thing about it. The people that's in the chat, they gotta understand this. My man got off the plane and I think you know you had with a forty seven minute drive hour hour right, the full hour. Yeah, got out when we when we talked, when you was in your car. The game was at twelve minutes in the first half, and I said, I called you back at six minute mark. Yeah, I call him back at six thirteen mark, and he said, I'm doing good.

I'm make good time.

So just know this, the determination desire that he showed for this is spart the MSU to get home, to get on the show on time.

Hey, you got to salute the brother.

Hey, man, I didn't want to miss it.

I know how important it is for you to keep moving, you know, and everybody else that supports the show and everything else that we do on and onward. Man, I had to just do my part, right. So that's that's something that's ingrained in us as being Spartans, right, all Spartans. Man, Hey, look, we're not boring. We built and we and we work on things and we stand. We only as strong as the one standing.

Next to us.

So man, look, I love standing next to the people that I work with every single day.

I promise you that. Baseball.

Let's talk a little bit about baseball mid week and Greenville, Michigan State Baseball dropped just a second game of the season yesterday, falling ten to seven against Western Carolina in Greensville, South Carolina. But man, you know, Sam Bush provided much to the offensive Sparts with three hits, four RBIs, and two runs.

There is a lot going on with that baseball program.

So you know, being ranked in the top twenty five for the first time in years and the best pitcher in baseball right now in college baseball is a Spartan.

More on that next week, Go ahead, sir.

I can't wait to come on because I'm willing to bench and I'm telling him coming up, I'm coming up to the campus and probably in April. I don't care how fast he pitched straight.

You taking him yard. You're gonna point like, Babe, Ruth.

Did you know what? You know what coach Mareen and Woody.

I'm bringing back my baseball pitcher out from high school. Cause I know y'all sitting in da ol Swerve always talk he ain't play no dis I already brought the player the Athlete of the Yotrophy.

And it's not about me, you know, it's about this is But I am a spartan.

There, y'all know I played a little baseball too, So scrat I can't wait.

But you know what, he's not just a great picture screat.

They're gonna find out he get the boy got a big ass, hard.

A huge heart, huge campaign that's gonna be.

There's been a press release already, but we're gonna really drive that home next week.

So stay tuned for that one of a great cause.

And on this show when there's great cars, I mean, we always answer the bell and get that out there. So we can use this platform to catapult things for a good causes. You know, Michigan State Baseball all spartans are doing. You know we've done that before with the Marion Smith and Ayana. I think Ayana.

I gotta bring Ayana back. Man. We get it for the spring.

We get them for the spring ball that that'll be great, you know, but for right now, make your nil gifts charitable swerve with CGA Charitable Gift America. CJ's gift planning services are beneficially Spartan alumni of all agents.

I know, we we're doing a little watch party right now. Spartan trailer by eight points

I mean, I think you do it.

I mean, it's just like you know when teams use the Yankee Stadium and to use uh, I think some use for a field, not for a field up the baseball stadium in Chicago. I think it was a football game now something like that. Uh I may be wrong, but I think it's good, you know, especially for us. You know, so you you bring, you bring everybody off seven mile eight mile grashing, you know, getting some free tickets to come on to the you know what I mean probably can get is a king of tech tech

You know, some people want it to be in Spartan Stadium because that I believe that senior day. Okay, so there's a lot of traditionalists to say that. But then there's a lot of people say, hey, the stadium is usually empty because all the students are gone home during that time as well, so most of them live they reside in the Metro Detroit area anyway, and it's warmer, so that's why you get a little bit of that.

So that's where there's a lot of you know, angst about it.

People don't like it, but you know, overall, I think it is a good move for Michigan State the brand. Nothing else is gonna be on. I don't I don't know if this is on a I think this is a Saturday. I'm not sure. I believe this is a Saturday game, so it's not gonna be a Friday.

I don't know.

We'll find that out stats and thenfol can help me out with that one. We got a lot going on the other kid. It is a Saturday, thanks producer, Sean appreciate that.

So swerve.

That's that's my take on that. That's your take. But it's against not against Penn State. Remember that's that's the Land Grant Trophy. We don't have the Land Grand Trophy at the end anymore. It's against Maryland. So at the end of the season, that should be a win, should be.

And I just I'm waiting on Vegas right because they came what Vegas the five and a half, five and a half, five and a half.

Ooh Vegas.

I know what Vegas doing man, because I'm telling you I took him to the I took man.

I could have sat out this year whatever every penny I had, I said, Man, four games, yeah, five and a half. They know something. They try to be sneaky, but.

When your quarterback says take you over, you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes, and that's what he did.

And he just came in. Last year was four and a half.

Right last year that was over under from Vegas four and a half point of wins from Mischigan State they got five.

So I think this team's programming is on the rise right now.

Man.

So hey, if I had to make a bet right now, I take the five and a half. But then I got to think about it a little bit more. I'm gonna make my decision before May first.

Better, you know, because if the spring reports get out, they start seeing, you know, stuff moving, they gonna move that line up.

The six and a half on you.

You know. You know what I did this time?

Straight last time, I went to the NFL and asked him, can I get a couple of my dollars for my retirement?

Yeah?

Oh okay, straight.

I pulled it from there. I pulled it from this way. I pulled from my kids. I gave my kids some money way back when I went in there and got some of that money.

I knew.

He said he put the whole markets on it.

I put everything on it, but I was so I was scared. Now, I was scared. But hey, I know, I know you were scared of it all.

It came through just like it's supposed to look man, We're gonna close this thing down in a minute. The first He's message for my friends over at I Hop, did producer Sean disappear? Where?

Where?

Or where is our producer?

Sir?

You know what the thinking about Sean Man? He's such a Michigan State fan and he's a Lord T fan that he gets so uptight when we're not winning by lot or he don't think we're gonna win. I mean, I've been around him at these games, man, so you know, Sean, Relax.

Sean, what's up?

Man?

We just we just threw to a courage. I don't know where producer Sean went to. Can we come back in a moment after these message my friends over at I Hop.

Uh huh, hey, may look, this is live, this is live TV, Baby live podcasts, and this is it rawnuck up.

We got a death in the family.

We had the laid flights, We got a halftime right now, we thinking we're gonna clench and we're down by ten seven. I'm sorry on the road right now now, eight years old about.

Oh that was a good block, no foul? Come on, well.

What's going on?

Man? Oh shit, look at it? Look man, you cannot tell me. I do not look.

It's no way the thing y'all want to build for ez If you look at him now just now closed up, he do not look anything close like that done toteo and what's called the more mooy?

What this shit is that you want to build to erect the statue for his own right?

I just seen the picture of Izzoe up close. That's not even close. Straight.

Look, most of the time when you go to get the statues you look at you get the people in their prime. Okay, okay. That's so when they make a statue with you, they're gonna have a statue of you, you know, running touchdowns in Spartan stadium.

Man, you think they're having a gold teeth, they gotta have a gold te strade.
