LAFAYETTE, La. -- It's time for another episode of our southern-fried Inside the SPHL Podcast! The silky vocal stylings of Matthew Harding went on the seven-day IR this week, but it didn't stop Mike Campos from hanging out with a special guest from the Macon Mayhem...

AND HIS NAME IS JOHN SIEMER ♪♫♪

Campos and Siemer's chat covered a variety of topics:

* How a letter to the newspaper from a four-year-old Siemer started his career.

* What it's like leaving home for the first time as a junior player.

* Playing with and against now-teammate Derek Sutliffe throughout his time in juniors and the pros.

* Landscaping in Michigan.

* How Kevin Kerr's passion for the game drove Siemer to Macon.

* Having fun with the similarity between his name and a certain WWE superstar.

* Breaking down the Mayhem's season, and how the team is working to get out of their current slump.

* Taking a quick look at the SPHL playoff race.

* And of course... the Walmart Item of the Week!
