In Season 2 Episode 4 of Teed Up, the hosts Naoki Gima and Matthew Gomez get an exclusive interview with Long Beach State's new Executive Director of Athletics Bobby Smitheran to talk about his career journey and his experience at the Beach so far.

Beach sports saw some dominant showings from women's soccer and women's volleyball this past week. The hosts talk about the soccer team's 5-1 win over Northern Colorado and the great performance in the Wildcat Classic by women's volleyball. Bobby Smitheran gave his thoughts on the atmosphere of the pyramid and expressed that he looks forward to attending more sporting events in the future.

Naoki and Matthew also get an in-depth look at how Bobby Smitheran has settled in at the Beach since coming over from San Diego State. The hosts also delve into Smitheran's entire career up until this point and discuss what he looks forward to in this new chapter at the Beach.

Continuing their questioning, Naoki and Matthew presented Smitheran with quick-fire questions and had him blindly rank his favorite ballpark foods. Smitheran also challenged the Teed Up hosts to a doubles pickleball game with Smitheran choosing Matthew as his partner and leaving Naoki to find a partner to take them on.
