Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, lax rats alike, welcome back to another episode of the

0:07.6

crease dive and I am your host, Matt Nessler. And joining me today is a very special guest.

0:13.9

He is a UVA alumni. He is the goalie for the Czech Republic national team. He's going to be

0:19.4

playing a little war at the shore with Ness. He's Gruden's right hand, man. You've seen his face on the YACF. You know the name, Jake Malasek, baby, the heart and soul of UVA lacrosse. We have him here tonight. Jake, thanks for coming on, brother. I appreciate it. What an intro, what an intro. And I'm going to fix my camera in just a second, but I've been very, very buddy, buddy with Nest up until this point, but I was

0:41.5

getting... What an intro, what an intro. And I'm going to fix my camera in just a second. But I've been very, very buddy, buddy with Nest up until this point.

0:41.1

But I was getting dressed this morning.

0:43.0

And I saw a shirt in my closet that I figured I had to throw on.

0:46.3

So I got my.

0:47.8

Oh, the football shirt on with the Cabrini National Champs flag in the background.

0:54.0

But yeah, I'm

0:54.9

ripping my noble boys today for you, Nest. That's, I invite you into my home. I just

1:01.6

have to rep. I had to rep your school, man. I'm pumped to be here. You know, some people who

1:07.8

think Jake Malasek isn't tapped into what's going on in the lacrosse world of the world of Ness. He knows just how much that shirt's going to bother me. You can see it really nice. Thank you, Villanova football, for sending us this. This is great. Yes, I mean, while we are shout, Villanova, 85 Madison, Treat for Free to send it. But no, that hurts a lot. It's disrespectful. I used to love Villanova. That's the worst part. It's like, those were the fellas right across the street, right next door. Villanova hoops, V's up, go to hell. But now it's like, the V just makes me uncomfortable. But let me ask, you can't just be like, you know, like, we're now we're just one. Now I can just be a Villanova guy and like that's the brand now. You can't just celebrate under one umbrella. Is that not how this works? So I support, I'm a Villanova lacrosse supporter. I want that on record. Coach Mita was the offensive coronator of the 2019 Cabrini National Champions. He's now the offensive coronator at Villanova. So there's Cabrini blood in that locker room. It's hard for me to root on their downfall. Do I think Cabrini is a better to the cross program and a better team? Yes, I want that on record. Everyone in Villanova listing that it just is what it is but i'm a supporter um but villanova hoops villanova uh football i just think i have

2:24.7

you took the one thing i loved which was cabrini and it'll be erased from history in the

2:31.0

next five years so and so i mean i have to pay if i if I want my transcript or if I wanted my diploma, I had to pay Villanova. That would piss me off. Yeah, that would drive me crazy. Yeah, they got like, they got more money than God. And they want my $10. You're asking for your transcripts these days. No, no, not, come on. Now I'll say me. No, I'm getting that through the grapevine.

2:52.8

I'm hearing that through the great vine from the fellas.

2:54.9

Ness, happily employed.

2:56.3

I'm moving freight.

2:57.5

Anyone who needs stuff, move, you come to Nest.

2:59.5

Whoever sending boxes to Gruden's place, you come to me.

3:01.8

I'll send them, right?

3:03.2

Come on.
