it out get the TR fact or fiction on your side only on six [Laughter] [Music] news bun Alexander with the runner at second base Norton he gets it down it's perfect right win the little hey everyone this is Bren bear back at it again with keeping up in the middle this is another one of those thoughts and opinion type deals because tomorrow I go back and finish up the final semester that I have in college and my God what a final game it was today at the Little League World Series cuz we got a lot that really needs to be brought up this will be posted on YouTube probably tomorrow at night and that's only because I'm not going to actually be able I might be able to post this and then it will be on YouTube but I'm hoping it can be but I mean this excuse me it deserves talking about because every single time like I mentioned with the nd500 this was shocking but this year this weekend we had some amazing events SMU coming back against Nevada Georgia Tech beating Florida State and more on that with the Cinderella slippers podcast coming up probably this Friday we are still sorting that out but we got a lot to talk about in the college football Realms and basketball Realms so I decided to combine the two and we don't know as I said classes begin tomorrow so I'm just going to play it by year and figure that out might be Friday but we got a lot to talk about as I mentioned Georgia Tech beat Florida State no South Dakota State beat New Mexico and then you had Harrison Burton in the NASCAR Realms upsetting Kyle Bush in the rest of the field to win probably what was one of the best Coke Zero sugar 400s I've personally ever seen since Dal Hart Jr back in 2001 but my God this L leag World Series today holy cow everyone in America today should be celebrating this they should be there's no reason for you not to be it was singlehandedly one of the greatest finishes in Little League Sports history maybe the best maybe the best ever in Youth Sports we've seen some crazy finishes at the Little League World Series this one Takes the Cake you it had everything it had everything and the coach who's nuts nuts coach I mean the most unexpected figure to ever win the Little League World Series probably ever his then a speech going into the ninth inning a missed call that could have could have had Chinese taipe when the whole thing can you imagine if that was just the ball or something and then they had three outs I mean they later got their three outs but this play in particular where the ball was bunted underneath that reminded I knew at that moment I had seen a game pretty similar to this one with this much magnitude to it except it wasn't two International Teams it was two baseball teams in college Tennessee Florida State Tennessee Florida State now any many of you remember that game if you have been watching college basball or baseball general like I have it's a lot to digest and seeing how Florida state was literally one out away from winning the little from winning the College World Series probably advancing to the next round same batter Tennessee tried to throw there was a battery for Tennessee that tried to basically B his way down it was called a strike actually was yeah it was called a strike as far as I remember and then they overturned it into a ball and then Tennessee ended up putting two more runs on the board to win the College World Series the guy on the call of that game was Carl r and he had an incredible call at that game and at this game this game was even better than the world serious appearance that he had but I just mentioned that he had the craziest coach the craziest group of kids the craziest team that one boy that's doing all them dances my gosh he's like DJ Birds he was the DJ birds of the Little League World Series there's just no doubt in my mind that that kid's got an amazing future ahead of him and my golly missed Molly it was a cast of characters for the Florida team Chinese Taipei coming into this game had the best overall team in Little League baseball this year think about it they threw a no hander in their first game completely swept everyone this is the equivalent to the US and the Soviets but which yeah we are under this type of thing with China and Taiwan right now both trying to collide in war pretty similar to this situation where the US is trying to battle against China and Taiwan but that team kept sweeping people sweeping count swept Venezuela like that and then all of a sudden you have them go up against the freaking underdogs in Florida in Lake May Florida Lake Mary's Florida I might be wrong on that name but Lake Mary's Florida but my goodness as I mentioned with politics there was there's the war going on right now in Israel Ukraine and in Russia um um wait yeah Russia Ukraine and Israel Palestine Israel Palestine I might have to cut that out but um there is the war in Israel and Palestine and then the war in Russia and Ukraine the thing is is that the US is in the middle of these two Wars and the Little League World Series is the head of the US US Department I think of Department agency more like the CIA even said himself with one of the sideline reporters on ESPN she he said that Sports unit us together and it was his duty to bring both of these teams that protect our country enough to bring both of these teams to go play in a game at Williams sport Pennsylvania but my gosh when it comes down to the juggernauts and The Underdogs the huntter and the hunted we got that in in some it was a slow game and every single one of these great games s off very slow then ramp up Florida had an opportunity to score in the ninth and then the or not the Florida had an opportunity to score in the seventh inning seventh inning or yeah seventh inning and then before the seventh inning and then all of a sudden Chinese dipe just does an incredible job at pitching it first in the seventh inning and then the eighth inning was when all the madness ensued and during the madness I said to myself oh my gosh what was where was he throwing it at where's this kid who's probably like if you heard about how many years these kids train in China and in Japan these kids train every day and night every day and night From Dusk to Dawn and they're were like better trained with quotations better trained than us better hitting than us because these kids are overwork they spend a good 12 hours a day just practicing their craft and my gosh the game itself at the end where he threw the ball away that's a mental error from Chinese mental error and that doesn't happen in baseball even to the best of teams they'll be haunted for a while from it and I know they will and deservedly so because guess what I'm a red blooded American I'm a red blooded American who endorses Donald Trump to be president of the United States I'm one that doesn't put up with this bull crap that happens overseas because guess what our country is the greatest country in the world with the greatest country in the world and I'm only saying that CU there are other countries out there with freedom like France Germany China know what France Germany and then China had freedom at one time South Korea has freedom and to be Belgium has freedom but it was the best Squad you could ever imagine because for Florida they're coming in as the underd dogs and as I mentioned that team politically was going to try and separate both sides for a little bit and now it's one of the most number one Twitter X topics right now as of August 25th and my God what a game from Florida and the speech the speech God is on the side of a lot of these coaches now and a lot of these players encouraging our youth to be more ingrained in Christ and being more ingrained with love that's what this is all about showing that you are something Lake Mary's my goodness they put God first their coach was wacky their players are characters the one boy does all these dances but then once Chinese taipe thrs that ball away that red blooded American who supports Donald Trump just felt even more patronized it's the sixth time the United States has won in the Little League World Series with the first being all the way back in 2016 and the last win internationally wasn't since 2015 and the last time this Taiwan team did win was back in 1996 and thank God it didn't go overseas I even figured it could have but I didn't know the outcome of this game and my goodness that team is from Florida with their kid the DJ Kid unbelievable team today we were impressed my family was so impressed by the entire thing because my goodness we were about to leave town and head back so I could go start off my school and that's tomorrow my final semester at IU and what a way to start it with one of the most jam-pack sports weekends that I have ever personally seen never before has this been in a better spot Little League baseball is the greatest youth sporting event in the world and there needs to be more events like it for youth but again Lake Marys is an incredible Squad there will have an incredible party when they come back they said they already had a plan parade plan parade but my goodness there will be a way bigger one as soon as they go back and I can't stress it enough excuse me that this team and had upset the biggest of Underdog upset the biggest of juggernauts and my goodness Chinese taipe thought that they were the best team but Florida ended up being the greatest team possibly in all of Little League World Series history and there are plenty there have been plenty of Great American teams but that is one that wasn't even supposed to be here that wasn't even supposed to be winning at first when this whole thing started I wanted Jasper Indiana Little League where I'm near to be in the Little League World Series it didn't end up well for Illinois Hinsdale Hillsdale Illinois who ended up losing and I think at the first or second round but they were not a good team but this Florida team wasn't even supposed to win because think the coach even for Chinese tape was strict authoritarian always asking for these big calls I'm like you're not going to get these big calls do you think money's involved in this I think so because I think we would have had another betting scandal at Taiwan again and that's why those son of guns can't beat us for the 17th straight time that they've been in the Little League World Series there's no way they can no way they can what a win though a classic of a game classic of a game and the game itself had its cast of characters it's big off field drama it's big onfield drama crazy coach crazy f crazy players they were loud too very loud and my goodness it was it was awesome the whole thing was just awesome let me just say that greatest youth sporting event every single year and it gets better and better and better and better when the stakes are even more high but congratulations again to Lake Mary's little league this is the greatest moment that you boys will ever achieve as I was once 12 years old and I wanted to be in this tournament it didn't happen I never played a lick of Little League baseball and it was because if you got a major abilities issue you would have a hard time getting into this stuff and I struggled as a kid to even hit the ball but hitting the ball wasn't even a problem what was a problem was we don't we didn't have any money we still don't have any money and I don't have any money cuz now I'm a broke college student basically with nothing watching the Olympics and seeing kids do better than me literally 20 or 30 year olds doing a lot better than I am doing and I can tell any one of you kids that are listening to this I don't have a large age percentage that is like under seven but I do want to tell all the young kids out there this Little League World Series if you even have the opportunity to go you should definitely go you should definitely go and I would say if you have the money to play baseball or do any kind of talent go ahead challenge the world challenge the status quo keep up with things keep up with life it should be spent having fun with your friends eating ice cream and eating pizza from Pizza Hut that you aren't even going to think is even that good even even that good later when you're my age and I'm saying all of it comes upon the fact that you are a kid and everything you do is Big even at 12 years old everything you do at 12 is Big don't be on PornHub please please do not be on PornHub please do not search MK if you know who I mean some woman from India don't search her please guys if you're young enough to avoid that stuff please do be the best supportive character you can be and listen to your parents because that was a major struggle I had when I was younger was not listening to my parents but the thing I'm talking about tonight is not discipline it's dreams I had dreams Big Dreams goals big goals plans big plans and this is a huge deal you will live with this for the rest of your life it's on papers it's on newspapers you will be playing the game and appreciate every minute of it because you may not be able to play on that baseball field anymore you may not be able to be a coach you may not be able to be a manager you may not even be able to run a baseball team like maybe one day you could be for the you could be playing for the Savannah bananas I mean the endless possibilities are there with your ability and if you're really good at that ability keep growing keep thriving on on it and even if life sucks and tears you back down to reality just keep in mind you're doing great and if you're 12 years old you're not meant to have all these struggles and problems you're meant to keep growing and dreaming but you will live with this for the rest of your life and I am proud of the boys that played in this Little League World Series every single one of them didn't even matter what country you were from what state you were from what city you were from if you're a older adult like I am it's a huge deal to even be in the Little League World Series nonetheless be in a major baseball tournament even in your state or your county or your town and it's huge but they will live with this for the rest of their lives and they'll be proud and hold their heads up for much later in life there some of these guys I may be hearing about in the major leagues but we'll have to wait and see there was a very shortened episode um again congratulations to Lake Mary little league impressive job on the mound in the batting cage that team is America's team and that's why I mentioned I'm a red blooded American and I love it when these American teams beat these teams that are foreign and overseas because they're not as good as us they are not as good as us thank you all so much for watching and listening to this um I know it was pretty short but I just wanted to get my thoughts out there and at least post a podcast out there but again Cinderella slippers is going to dive into football and basketball that should be posted by Friday the traditional schedule for podcast will be Sundays and Fridays
