Speaker 1: Let's go.
Speaker 2: I'll start to what you want to presents. Off the
bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yea yeah.
Speaker 2: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and C Bob aber Is.
Speaker 1: I gotta come off the bench now.
Speaker 2: Here's Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 3: Saw going on? Guys, Jaid, Welcome.
Speaker 1: In Ja brand new. Oh g b.
Speaker 4: It is Friday, February twenty first, twenty twenty five, guys,
the weekend is here. Heck yes, to have ourselves a weekend. Fortunately,
freaking Canadian got it done last night the Battle of
Four Nations. Great game, stellar game throughout, but in the end,
Taylor's team comes through and the Maple leafs. Yeah freaking Canada.
It felt like a flashback to me sitting in Indigo
Park back in twenty ten. So weird to think about.
Man in that Winter Olympics gold medal game goes to
OT and it was the phenom Sidney Crosby at the
time who scored to win the game in OT and
this time it was his heir apparent, Connor McDavid. Fifteen
years later, which my god, does feel not I feel
like fifteen years is passing the interim. But that's you know,
that's depressing its own, right.
Speaker 1: What's going on, guys, how we doing today? What's up?
Speaker 5: Jake doing well? Yeah, watched the game pretty much all
of it. Yeah, great game, it was. It was a
great game.
Speaker 1: US. They had their chances.
Speaker 5: They were right in front of goal there in overtime
even and about three feet from the goal.
Speaker 1: Weren't able to get it done.
Speaker 5: And anytime you have that situation like, oh boy, yeah,
Penny Ta.
Speaker 1: Was on fire, dude, I mean, what do the hockey
guys always say.
Speaker 4: There's a saying about during the playoffs basically just riding
the hot goalie and and a goalie who's in the
zone can essentially just make up for anything, like whatever
your regular season record was anything. And that's that game
was by the third because a shot that you're talking
about specifically where comes across the goaliees face right too?
Speaker 1: Is it Williams?
Speaker 4: Is he like the NHL's leading goal scorer over the
last two years or something. He scored sixty something goals.
They said it was like the most sense of nineties
and he got stoned, walled and there was a sequence there. Yeah,
before McDavid scores the winner where I don't know, it
was like four or five, just crazy glove saves body,
the weird angles. But but again, very fun game top
to bottom, a lot of cool moments. Old boy lost
his stick that one time, just went full full footy
on it. Did you see that pick off the pass
of his foot and like basically just like a little
lead past like of a soccer dude. But I was
I'll say this, man, the defense was spectacular throughout and
and hockey's fun to watch.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: You know, as we prepare to welcome an NHL team
to New Orleans, I'm just kidding, guys, it's never gonna happen.
It'd be fun to fantasize about like we have been.
But as you prepared to welcome a NHL team to
New Orleans, I once again am struck by because I
even't really shut down and watched the hockey game in
a long time. I know you tuned in for the
playoffs sometimes, Taylor, but it's just NonStop action, like while
the game is going on, you actually cannot look away.
You know, you can't be like fully, you can't go
walk an the other room or you will miss something.
And I found to be very very deeply satisfying, even
if the US came out on the wrong side of it.
Speaker 1: A Loder. What's up, girl? How we feel today?
Speaker 6: I'm feeling a little excited, little nervous because I am
going to New York on Sunday.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be fine.
Speaker 7: I'm very excited to go to New York.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be fine.
Speaker 6: My nervousness lies in Am I gonna make it to
New York?
Speaker 8: What airline?
Speaker 1: Are you flying?
Speaker 7: Southwest?
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 1: So should be flying? Should be flying?
Speaker 4: Because no, there's the have you seen the spirit memes? Yeah?
You know everybody's been talking about everybody's been talking trash
on on our guy. But old Girl's been fine. He
ain't been caught up in any of this is Delta
nonsense whatever.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I haven't seen Southwest.
Speaker 1: You're You're gonna be fine New York.
Speaker 6: Just hey, So I'm just so me, my grandma, my aunt,
like to my aunts. We have birthdays in February. So
doing a little girls trip.
Speaker 9: Birthday it's two days, yeah, tell birthday?
Speaker 4: So I I don't do birthdays. Well, yeah we celebrated,
Yeah I forgot, Yeah that's right.
Speaker 6: Okay, So my grandpa got us a trip to New
York for our birthdays.
Speaker 4: So hell yeah, d well, here's the deal. You know
how you you don't be scared of that? Well, you know,
obviously there's like anti anxiety medication wanted out which you
can get for flying, which will help. But the other
thing is, it's not like you have a choice about
whether to go on the trip or not.
Speaker 7: You know, I feel like I can back out last.
Speaker 4: Second, no why and lose a once in a lifetime
trip with your family. Your grandpa paid for you for
your birthday, Like what are you just a terrible human
being would give him? So you're you're gonna sit here
and talk about how soft this modern generation is and
you can't even get on a flight to go on
a once in lifetime trip to New York with your family.
Speaker 1: That's you know, like what about? What about? What say?
Speaker 4: We have nothing to fear but fear itself? You can't
have fear control you.
Speaker 7: What if you're saying all this though, and then.
Speaker 1: We were not raised by something?
Speaker 3: Men?
Speaker 4: Timid men, coward men. There's there's something there that a
president said once. The point is, you don't have a choice.
Speaker 7: Yeah I'm gonna go.
Speaker 4: You have to go, I'm gonna be great, So close
your mind to there being another avenue.
Speaker 6: I just just gonna do it myself with a cocktail
in my hand. At the Carlisle. There you go, listening
to the piano.
Speaker 4: There you go, ivory tinkling in the background. Only who
knows you could be dead in that?
Speaker 8: And yeah, you may not make it.
Speaker 1: Who knows that on No, no.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, You're gonna be completely fine. Don't worry.
Speaker 7: But I do have to shout out to my Daniel.
Speaker 6: I didn't get his last name, but Daniel, Daniel, and
we we were.
Speaker 7: No, it's none of the ones in the hat.
Speaker 6: So he well, Daniel son goes to the block, and
Daniel now goes to the block and he was in
my class last night.
Speaker 7: So shout out Daniel.
Speaker 1: Okay, uh okay.
Speaker 4: I kind of thought there was gonna be more on
the end of that shout out. It was just okay, yeah,
shout out Daniel. Uh yeah, yeah, Okay. I feel that, dude,
I feel that for sure.
Speaker 7: Shout out your tennis friends all the time.
Speaker 4: I agree, I agree, I'm not hating kind of wear
a little bit. Well, it was a little bit. I mean,
I thought there was going to be some payoff to
the story. Least I shout out, like somebody to play intendants,
Like we played a.
Speaker 7: Mass for our listeners that listens to us every morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know he listened every morning. See there
you go.
Speaker 4: See like the somatic context, it makes it a little less. Uh,
just random shout out to the three U. S. G.
A High school girls that were at Evolved this morning. Yeah,
you know, normally it's just us old people in there normally.
Speaker 7: Listen every morning, I doubt. Yeah. So what's the point
in that shout out?
Speaker 1: No point?
Speaker 4: Yeah, no point?
Speaker 1: Uh, Taylor, any shoutouts? Hey, congratulations Tale.
Speaker 9: I was about to say I'm doing well. Apparently my
team won last night. I didn't know till this morning.
Speaker 4: Taylor did great on the radio yesterday, filling him for Hunt.
Then you got to watch Canada win, which made it
very happy.
Speaker 9: I will say, to your credit, I do kind of
look a little Canadian like.
Speaker 4: To you, to your well, the t Bot photoshop that
got sent my way, I mean, my god, that looks real.
You and that Canadian national was not a.
Speaker 9: Bad looking hockey player. Am I a better looking girl
than hockey player?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 9: But the hockey player wasn't bad either. That was a
great game, whether or not US or Canada won that game. Like,
if you watched that game and did not come away
more of a hockey fan than you were when you
when you entered that game, I don't know what to
tell you. When you got into it, when you got
into the overtime period, they were just firing.
Speaker 8: I mean it was back and forth. You knew that.
Speaker 1: Everybody was at You can see the heavy skates.
Speaker 9: You're watching, You're seeing the shots on goal. You're like,
this ain't lasting more than about ten minutes. In eight
minutes in is when it ended. Phenomenal game, Phenomenal game.
Speaker 4: Congratulations to you, Taylor, as the Dallas Cowboys have managed
to ruin the one good thing that they have. Jake
Zach Martin's tired. Yeah waiting go, I know, wait to go.
Literally one of no exaggeration, no hyperbole whatsoever. One of
the greatest offensive linemen in NFL history. In eleven years,
he has nine Pro Bowls, seven All Pros, seven First
Team All Pros, are tied for not just the most
in Cowboys history, but for the most in NFL history
amongst guards. So a surefire first ballot Hall of Famer.
How many playoff wins does Zach Martin have in the
career there in Dallas wearing.
Speaker 8: The story three? Maybe?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Hell yeah, it's a stat where he has seven all
pros and seven penalties accepted against him in his career.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about that?
Speaker 4: Seven holding penalties accepted and seven all pros? He gets
won one penalty for every all pro?
Speaker 1: Uh? Where do you go?
Speaker 8: I hope you're happy and I'm not. But are we
surprised at this point?
Speaker 10: Not?
Speaker 8: Really?
Speaker 9: Zach Martin is moving one two better things. He does
not really matter what he does after this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anything will be better.
Speaker 9: Yeah, anything he's doing is better than what he was doing.
Speaker 4: I will say this, I'm sure that a lot of
Cowboys fans feel some sort of latent guilt over how
his career went. And so although he's made a ton
of money, whatever business ventures he gets into, I'm sure
there's gonna be multiple like old cowboy businessman who who
would love to try to hook up Zach Martin since
they couldn't do anything on the field. I'll tell you what,
there is one bright side. What's that we weren't a
Zach Martin away from a super Bowl anyways. So yeah,
well now you are doesn't matter now.
Speaker 1: That actually said y'all weren't that far away from the Eagles.
That's true, he said, you are, basically.
Speaker 4: So however far so you're saying you weren't a Zach
Martin away.
Speaker 9: Like like I'm saying on the team you an't win
or none.
Speaker 4: Anyway, however far away you were, though, you are now
an additional Zach Martin away. So that's not good. You're
further like you may have not been a Zach Martin
away from getting there, but you are a Zach Martin
further now we're getting.
Speaker 9: There, sniffing it with Zach. Now you don't even know
where it is. Yeah, exactly, that's kind of where you're at.
Speaker 4: You keep looking, you're finding One Day Tech all right,
coming up next here on OTV. Look, we got the
l s U Baseball weekend series, get into you gotta
coach Jay Clark coming up here in a bit, and
the New Orleans Saints have a brand new offsive coordinator.
Also talking about what to do with dear Carr. As
the story continues to evolve, It's kind of funny. Somebody
on Twitter yesterday said Derek Carr's got it so twisted up.
We're trying to cheer for hockey. Now, we're trying to
get a hockey team here. That's how bad car has
bungled the New Orleans Saints More OTB coming up next.
Speaker 3: Off the bench.
Speaker 4: You go to Pinnacle Exterior Construction, PEC built dot Com,
pec built dot Com. You can blame Canada and you
can also blame Pinnacle. Yeah, blame them for making the
backyard of your dreams come true. Okay, it's their fault
because you hired him to build you an incredible custom
pool and they blew your mind. Or you hired them
to build you a bigger, better fence, a pergola, an
outdoor living hear outdoor kitchen, put a putting green in
your backyard, turf, whatever.
Speaker 1: The case may be. Fully custom design.
Speaker 4: From the ground up. We also have a lot of
speck pools that you can choose from. You choose a detail,
work within it. The bottom line is we build the spaces,
you build the memories. Go look at the gallery at
PEC built dot Com. Pinnacle Exterior Construction.
Speaker 5: That's residential and a commercial. They can completely change your space. Fulls,
outdoor living fences, bullheads any kind of fence as well.
You'll see it right there on the homepage. Go today
to explore p e C built dot.
Speaker 2: Com got the best morning sports show around sort of.
It's Off the Bench with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 4: I'll go back to Off the Bench.
Speaker 1: Taylor hanging out with you today? Is this Bad Bonny?
Speaker 7: It is.
Speaker 1: Bob just usually guess is Bad Bunny on all? He is?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 1: Well, actually no, okay, on.
Speaker 4: I got I was really into Camila Ramon for a
while there, and Camilla I loved that Bonnie, so we
used to listen to that Bonnie quite a bit together.
Thank you very much.
Speaker 7: I love that Bunny.
Speaker 4: I think a couple of years ago, I mean now,
I never had heard of Bad Bunny at the time,
and Danny blew my mind by telling me that Bad
Bunny was like literally the most streamed artist in the
entire world of Spotify a couple of years ago. I
think I looked at up to the day. I think
he's five right now. Again, Bruno mars number one, which
is crazy?
Speaker 1: Is that crazy?
Speaker 4: I just like anybody being number one is crazy, But
I just that's fair.
Speaker 1: Bruno is.
Speaker 4: Like, I don't know, like a Win's last, Like Bruno
has so many classics, but Win's the last. Like new
Bruno song that you've been really thinking about, the didn't
get me go to a wedding just came out. Oh
I don't know, yeah, see, I don't know.
Speaker 6: It also has some like really raunchy rap song out
right now brunoos Yeah.
Speaker 4: Hey, Now Bruno strikes me as someone who has sucked
from all all the cups. Yeah, uh, you know, I
I'm pretty sure he's tasted a lot of what life
has to offer.
Speaker 7: I think bad Bunny has to uh that would.
Speaker 4: Make sense, including being a WW wrestler. He's a good
wrestler too. On that all right, let's touch on the
weekend series at real quick and we can circle back
around to it and then I want to get the
same tiring Doug nuss Meyer, but lsu playing Omaha in
a weekend series this week great visualization work by Jay
Johnson here. If you want to play in Omaha, you
must first play with Omaha. Okay, and that's what's going
down this weekend.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 4: I believe Tulane swept Omaha opening weekend. Also, uh, the
Fear of the Wave blog that I follow on Twitter,
they tweeted the hey that Twu Lane has the number
one RPI in the country right now in four and
oh so shout out to the way. I don't exactly
know how the true uh. I think they've beaten Southeastern Oha,
but whatever, it doesn't matter. Shout out too late, but
too late swept Oaha. Last week it's already an insane team.
Kind of set the bar for what you want to
see LSU do. And uh Kate Anderson on the mount
and Kate Anderson part to you know, really it's been
a plus marks for LSU baseball up to this point,
and this weekend is just a continuation of that. You know,
will the starter's like, like, who's gonna again? We talked
about it yesterday. Bit who's gonna be the first to
make a mistake? Who's gonna be the first to wobble
on the mound and the pin at the plate? Remember
Jay Johnson talking about the how the other night they
put together eighteen quality at bats in a row, something
he's never seen before. We know about the strike out
to walk ratio, damn near perfect e er a Londra
got you all the stats.
Speaker 1: The other day.
Speaker 4: So this is all just a continuation. Can you keep
that train rolling because you got Omaha three games this
week and you got Nickels makeup game Monday, and then
you head to Texas for some of your first real
challenges of the season.
Speaker 5: I mean, you just got to keep doing what you're doing. Obviously,
you've got all these talented players. You've done a really
nice job of trying to find playing time for them all.
You've gotten a lot of them innings. I mean, the
starters go five innings last weekend. Is that still going
to be the plan? So you can see what you
have in your bullpen, because that's why you scheduled the
games that you did before you go to this major
tournament that you're going to go to.
Speaker 1: So I would expect more the same.
Speaker 5: I'd be surprised if it's not the same and then
same thing in the lineup though, you're gonna have multiple players,
and we were talking about during the break, like you're
going to, you know, have somebody get to at bats
and you're going to take them out put somebody else in.
It's going to get two more at bats. I mean,
you got your core guys of four or five guys,
But it does feel like they're still using these weekends
to figure out who they can count on down the
stretch or not down the stretch. But as you get
ready for here like stretch run of major tournament sec play.
Speaker 4: Guys, go to your Goodwood dot com Goodwoodmen's Sexual Wellness.
You are struggling right now. Maybe feel low T low energy,
low physicality, you're feeling old, you're going bald, you're suffering
from ed. You want to get the bigger PP, EXECU,
P and I enhancement as well. Don't settle for mediocre
sex life. Guys, you go to your Goodwood dot com.
You can explore all the different options that we have
to offer you, but you have to take the initiative.
You have to take the first step to achieve your
peak potential. And that's what we're doing. Guys, no longer
leaving any meat on the bone. We're maximizing meat here
in twenty five and it starts with Google Men's Sexual Wellness,
your Goodwood dot Com. So the New Orleans Saints made
it official yesterday.
Speaker 1: They hire.
Speaker 4: Doug Nussmeyer. I forgot his name for a Saint. They
hired dougness Meyer to be the offensive coordinator. Now Kellen
Moore has been together with dougness Meyer guys since twenty eighteen.
They were the Cowboys, Nus was the tight end coach,
Moore was the quarterback coach. Moore became OC, Nus became
QB and they've stuck together every stop since. So they
were there in Dallas together, they were with the Chargers together,
Jake with your bolts, and they were in Philly together
last year. So I kind of love this because you
are getting a long term working relationship here. It's just
talking about like Kaylen Debor and Ryan Grubb, Like this
is not just like two guys. Oh yeah, I liked
working with him no for over half a decade now.
They have been working hand in hand, so they have
that rapport. They know what they would do. They're interconnected
from a play calling, game planning, quarterback developing standpoint. It's
we've been talking about it. So it's not a ton
to add except as a strong hire that makes a
lot of sense and comes with the wonderful added narrative
of you now have two nusses that are majorly factoring
into the Louisiana football Yeah, and.
Speaker 5: We talked about the situation with Kellen Moore still calling plays,
But you still wanted somebody that was going to be there,
that somebody he trusted, somebody bounced those ideas off. And
nus Meyer is going to be heavily involved in getting
the game plan together, knows the offense, knows the terminology,
and so that's going to be something that you know,
he'll be able to help everybody with and help everybody
kind of transition to this new offense. And so yeah,
certainly I think it's a great move. The fact that
they had this kind of relationship. I mean, look, Doug's
been coaching for twenty five years. Yeah right, so I
mean you get an experienced coach. He's done it a college,
he's done it in the NFL. Love the move things
a great move for them, and you know, now they
kind of figuret where the Jimmies and Joe's are going
to come from.
Speaker 4: The question is are you on the nust bus because
here we go, you know you have ridden the new
young model. What about the old jelope? See what he
can do and what will he do with Derek Carr?
Speaker 1: That is the question. And it continues.
Speaker 4: The more time that passes without any real commitment continues
to make you think that maybe they will move on,
though again it could still will go either way. And
the one of the interesting angles on the Derek Car
conversation is there's no angle where you keep him long
term to either cut him now or cut him in
a year. And so it does beg the question are
the savings worth it knowing you're gonna cut him in
a year to do the lame duck quarterback dance? And
to be fair, you could say, oh, well, maybe you
don't have cut him, maybe it goes well with us
and everybody. True, true, but it certainly feels like that's
a foregone conclusion. And I feel like that could potentially
create an awkward and maybe somewhat toxic environment if cars
walking around knowing that he's getting cut in a year,
and the only reason you're sticking around is for money.
By the way, you know he's not gonna take a
pay cut. He already said that, and he has a
no trade clause, so he ain't gonna take a trade.
So that's out the window as well. Either cutting meat
the fifty mel this year, cut him post you one
spread out over two years, but in that case you
don't get it till June second, so it doesn't really
help you build your team anyway, or it's cut him
next year.
Speaker 1: And I think you get it down.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: I think it's like a twenty million dollars hit something
along those lines.
Speaker 1: It's crazy.
Speaker 4: But we'll see what you will do with Derek Carr again.
I mean, I don't know the idea of him walk around. No,
he's gonna be fired here makes me feel like maybe
it's better to just rip the band aid off and
let the chips fall where they make. Coming up next,
we'll talk to LSU gymnastics head coach j Clark here
on Off the bench. Off the bench, guys, go to
pelicanroof dot com. Pelicanroof dot com. Okay, we love Pelican roofing.

off beating the number one team in the land in front.
Speaker 4: Of an absolutely electric environment and the p last Friday night. Uh,
and now it's having to talk to him you do
every Friday with coach Jay Clark's taking time out of
his busy schedule, literally stepped outside of team breakfast, walk
through is coming up.
Speaker 1: He made time for OTB. Hell.
Speaker 4: Yes, thank you so much, coach. And how about it
you told us last week? Kylen Chio is a killer,
and what did she do? She won the kylen Chio
Award once again, sec pressure me. I mean, it is
unbelievable the impact this young woman is having.
Speaker 12: Dude, you're a nut. Yeah, I can just I can
just call in every week and listen to you. Man,
it's hilarious. No, she's fantastic, and certainly it was. It
was a heck of a meat for everybody. But uh no,
she is a killer. I didn't know what to say.
They asked me what makes her so good? And said
if I knew, I'd bottle it and sell it. You know,
It's it's just, uh she's she is a killer, and
we've got We've got several of them on this team,
and so that was an exciting time. Of course, you
wouldn't know because you stayed home. Yeah yeah, you know,
as I recall and did the girl dad thing. Yeah,
I understand because I've done that. But but anyway, it
was a great night in the p MAC for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Coach Coach Jay, the the the consummate romantic.
Speaker 4: As I was sitting outside of Rowse's chilling my boy, John,
who'd I see popping in.
Speaker 1: To get some flowers?
Speaker 12: Now? Okay, Yeah, look.
Speaker 4: At you my daughter, Bro, that was okay, Well whatever
thoughtful nonetheless, you know, thoughtful nonetheless I walk.
Speaker 12: I walk out of rouses and you're like, you have
something better to do.
Speaker 4: Than Yeah, he got the number one team in the
entire country coming to town. Uh is that your daughter
that I have set by at the meats? That where's
the overalls and cheers like a mad woman the entire time.
Speaker 12: That's her. And the funny thing is the irony is
she's a freshman cheerleader at Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so yeah, they recruited it. We don't have all
girls cheer at LSU. We need to get it because
my daughter can't be a flyer on co ed squad.
She's got to be all girl because she's a little
but she built like her dad. So but but anyway,
it was Uh, she she was in town for it
and she was wearing her purple and gold overalls down
in the student section.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's awesome. I love her energy. I love this
team's energy. And I know Kyle g is obviously getting
all the headlines coach, but it goes, it goes so
much deeper than that. I mean, despite all the injuries,
there's just answers and and and people's ability to to
step up week in and week out like when they
are called upon. And now, uh, you a chance tonight
to go to Kentucky, a place that it's been a
little bit since you all have won in that building.
And now thanks to last week, you control your own
destiny when it comes to this regular She's an sec title,
which I know I mean that that that I know
you're not trying to put the focus there, but that
means something to you know, well.
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely. As we get later in the season, you know,
I'm my my, my, uh, my tone changes a little
bit and we are in it. We are in a
good place, and I want to make sure you know
my message to them this week is is two things,
improve what you've done on the road in the past,
and win the meet. And and that's you know, that's
that's where we've got to start. Uh, We've got to start,
you know, getting our verbiage and our mindset a little bit. Now.
You know, we've done a good job of you know,
stacking the days and building blocks as we as we've
gone through and and you know it's it's time to
kind of really solidify what our identity is going to
be And so that's the goal here tonight is to
to get it there or do better than we did
in Alabama on the road. From a performance standpoint, I'm
not talking about scores because I can't control that, but yeah,
but but I am talking about walking out of the
building feeling good about what we did. And uh, and
that's that's our goal there tonight, coach, the.
Speaker 5: One thing that you can point to and being on
the road and saying, Okay, no matter what happens, like
this is what I need to see.
Speaker 1: This is what I want to see on the road.
Speaker 5: Maybe, like you mentioned something you didn't see in the
time you went out against Alabama on the seventh.
Speaker 12: Well, I mean I think we you know, in Alabama,
we got off to a good start, and I think
we let the scores distract us a little bit, even
though we talk ad nauseum about not doing so it's
you're human and sometimes when when things aren't going exactly
the way you'd like them to from a result standpoint,
it affects your performance. So I think we let that
kind of crack our egg a little bit, and and uh,
it kind of just kind of we didn't let it
snowball on us the way we did at Arkansas, for sure,
but we we just wore it, just took the edge
off just a little bit. I thought we came out
really sharp, looked great, and as the meat wore on,
some of that edge came off. And that you know,
that's the kind of thing that as we get in
the latter part of the season, that we can't let
happen to us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the ability to knock that Arkansas score out
of the in QS, I think that opportunity is tonight
if you score higher than that.
Speaker 1: And I wanted to shout out us.
Speaker 4: Rapley had a really good write up in The Advocate today.
We did want to shout out of Mary dre when
we were talking about different gymnasts just finding ways to
step up when it's their time. You're going into the
last rotation against Oklahoma, uh burely trailing and Drayton does
something that she said she's never done in her entire
gymnastics career, gets at least one ten from a judge.
Speaker 1: What what does it do for you as a coach?
Speaker 4: Like, what emotions does it invoke in you when you
see an athlete raise, raise her bar?
Speaker 12: It makes you want to go over to the other
judge's table and turn it over, because that that was,
without a doubt, the best Flora team I've ever seen
her do it for us. And and she's just that kid,
you know, she she's kind of unsung in a lot
of ways, and because her personality is such that she
doesn't really seek the spotlight but but as consistent and
just a grinder in terms of how she goes about
her business and one of the most pleasant human beings
you'll ever be around. So I was just super pleased
for her. You know, this sport, you know, the way,
at least the way we run our program is sort
of predicated on the relationships that they have and that
we have with them, and there's a lot of trust
involved in and she she's one that you know you
can't help but just root for and get close to
and and love being around on a daily basis. And
so I was super pleased to see her, you know,
garner some of the attention that I think she so
richly deserves.
Speaker 1: Coach help a couple.
Speaker 4: Of old football meatheads out here, because you text me
and told me that y'all have walked through coming up
here in about twenty minutes. And I mean I remember,
you know, doing those Friday Saturday walk through football and
it's it's you know, your your walk through your plays.
Speaker 1: What is what is that in gymnastics? How does that work?
Speaker 12: Well, we go from event to event and we kind
of do just kind of a there's more of an
imagery kind of thing in your mind. We you know,
we go from event to event as a team, we
go in order in the lineup we're going to be.
There's a little bit of you know, kind of mimicking
what you're going to do with your body that goes on,
but it but really it's just about kind of setting
the mindset for the rest of the day and getting
their head wrapped around you know, what we're about to do.
And then we leave there and come back here and
we've got you know, a team meeting and a team launch.
So a lot of things are similar, you know, in
terms of the semantics, but I think more than anything,
it's the visualization kind of kind of exercise that we
go through.
Speaker 4: So tonight six pm catch on the SEC Network at Kentucky.
This is a top ten matchup because it is the SEC.
It's number three versus Number nine cannot wait. Coach, Thank

AI song.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 7: Let's play some real music.
Speaker 4: Hold on, girl, don't be mad, because Landlock's going to

Speaker 1: You have paying money and then like being like.
Speaker 4: Bro, we live in a world where like what's his name,
chas rat me Shack have been to go.
Speaker 1: You're talking about the physical Carter, No, who's the.
Speaker 7: I have no idea.
Speaker 4: The white guy who back in the day he was
kind of a rare he had like he's just like
real looking.
Speaker 1: No, he's on a reality show. Why am I blanking?
Speaker 4: My brother and his friends used to go see him
in concert and he's awful.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Oh man, why did you cut off our TikTok song?
Speaker 10: Or what?
Speaker 3: You don't like it?
Speaker 8: You actually do have him on multiple ocasions said how
much you hate it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's awful, but again, yes, yes, riff.
Speaker 8: Raff, riff Raff is hilarious.
Speaker 7: Breaker.
Speaker 9: Have you seen the video of riff Raff giving a
tour of his house? No, oh, I'm showing you this
after the show. It is top five YouTube video of
all time.
Speaker 4: I do remember, way back in the day a YouTube
video where he tries to say Tony Satury.
Speaker 8: Okay, so that's the one.
Speaker 1: And how does he say?
Speaker 8: He said, fridge stay empty because I eat good?
Speaker 1: Hell yeah I have?
Speaker 4: Uh but yeah, like my brother and them his friends
back in college, they paid money to go see riff
Raff in that same way you pay money to go
uh watch Landlaw.
Speaker 1: You know, well, I'm judging bo years later.
Speaker 8: That Tony can trap opener bum Did you see that?
Speaker 4: Look the dystopia that we find ourselves in didn't happen overnight.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't have TikTok, so I don't see
some of the stuff y'all see.
Speaker 4: Takes a while to get here, I don't. I don't
think I get this all through Instagram and.
Speaker 7: Twit the day that you like today when you just
mentioned that song is the first I've heard of this song.
Speaker 4: Look, that's because of the splintered monoculture. You know, we
are all slaves their own algorithms.
Speaker 7: Yeah, even Taylor seem to have the same algorithm.
Speaker 4: Well, Landlord's gotta Landlord's got a little bit of a reach.
But I and I would also venture guess that me
and Taylor do not at all have these same OUs.
Speaker 7: I feel like y'all always know about videos that like
I don't know about.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 4: I think me and Taylor are the most chronically online.
Speaker 9: I will say algorithms are probably very different, but the
dumbest things probably do connect it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that is probably.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't think Taylor gets a lot of book talk though,
from all my romantic adventures. I get a lot of
book talk. I get a lot of I get a
lot of cringe content.
Speaker 1: My algorithm on Instagram is a lot of live music,
like a ton.
Speaker 5: Of popular page Yeah, I get almost none of that
minds like throwback on soccer and live music.
Speaker 7: Or like the stupid like those dumb Alex Jones videos are.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Alex Jones memes are so good I get.
Speaker 1: I get a lot of bodybuilders, just.
Speaker 4: A ton, literally, he does not feel shocking. A lot
of bodybuilders, No, probably also not shocking. I do get
a lot of gay videos as well. I I've I had.
Speaker 7: More along the line, maybe say, like you and Taylor
have the same algorithm.
Speaker 1: We do not?
Speaker 5: We do not just explained for a while, Bob, I
don't know if you remember that, probably two years ago, Uh,
we started talking a lot about dance movies and dance
videos and step ups and bring it on and whatever.
For like six months, my algorithm was nothing but right
dance groups in the studio. Like, yes, they were there,
they were featured for like six months.
Speaker 1: That's all that I saw. It's it's uh, you were
just a big A B A B D C fan.
The was the host. It's true. Look, I mean I
don't hate. I don't hate a good dance movie.
Speaker 7: You know me either.
Speaker 1: I dance movies, step up.
Speaker 8: Stump the yard, good one disappointed.
Speaker 9: I remember being so disappointed and stumped the yard because
like that's when Chris Brown was like at his peak.
Everybody's like, guys, Chris Brown was in this movie and
like spoiler or if you haven't seen it, he dies
in like the first five minutes.
Speaker 4: He dies and stumped the yard in like the first
five minutes of the dance Battle gone wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what what do you mean? How'd he die?
Speaker 9: Like they dissed the other crew on their turf, T
Bob and they shot him in the parking line.
Speaker 1: Oh they shot him? Yeah, I thought maybe they just like,
have you ever had a dance battle before? I just
do it so hard.
Speaker 4: He pulled off a move so sick that Brown's brain.
Speaker 8: You've never seen stump the yard.
Speaker 1: Wait, of all the movies, T Bob's not seen. You
think he's seen?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I know you had sisters that one had like
a yeah, like a lot of popcorns are older though
they're older than I.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like right, yeah, actually I might be older than gay.
Speaker 4: Uh no, I think you can't. I mean she okay,
if I'm thirty, what am I? I'm thirty six? Now
everyone opened their she just turned thirty. She's about turned
thirty nine.
Speaker 7: And see what's the first thing?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're a little bit older. The first thing
that popped up on mine is uh, it's it's romantissy,
It's uh what does it say here? Oh no, it's
a Benny Blanco video. So what it's my guy scooter?
Are we looking at people that we follow? Are we
looking at Oh?
Speaker 8: God?
Speaker 7: Mine is so like mine is literally an Alex Jones video.
Speaker 4: God Maga Landra Undefeated, Undefeated. This is a video called
British Foreplay. Another shirtless guy, and then.
Speaker 7: The next one is Arch Manning and then Steven Tyler.
Speaker 5: Hella Mine is Louisiana Own. Anthony Mackie on The Jennifer
Hudson Show. I love a good Jennifer Hudson Show entrance
coming down. Never seen the show, but I'll be damned
if I don't love those entrances.
Speaker 1: You know why, because I was talking about it with
Katie last night. They're great. I was like, it's so good.
Speaker 5: There's so many people that buy into it, like and
they're just having so much fun. And then there's this
random white guy he walks by.
Speaker 4: It's like, hey, the first one that I've ever seen
good was old boy from Squid Games.
Speaker 7: Uh, the Korean one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you add.
Speaker 4: Albert and ask George Lopez on there. I haven't seen
Anthony Mackie yet.
Speaker 1: It's good.
Speaker 4: Whoever came up with that though on The Jennifer Hudson
Show needs a raise, because I had no idea that
that there was a Jennifer Hudson show.
Speaker 8: And that's that's all you're seeing is the intro.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Good on him.
Speaker 4: That that is elite social media like whatever intern or
underlean made that up, Like, good on you, even though
you think Jennifer's little jealous, No, because.
Speaker 8: It's bringing attention to her, I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think she cares, true, But who's watched the show.
Speaker 5: I feel like you're getting interactions though on social media,
and I feel like a lot of people.
Speaker 8: Are like, I wonder what the interview was, like, let
me go check that out.
Speaker 1: Have you done that? Probably?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 4: Okay, so I thought, Oh, I do get a lot
of cooking reels as well. Me and my wife loved you,
the thing where you send each other recipes and then
never never make them, never think about them again, but
at the time you are so sure that you're going
to make them one day. In fact, I'm gonna make
one tonight.
Speaker 8: My first Instagram reel is a person falling off of
a ride.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm shocked that it's not like somebody I don't
know taking on who wide receiver three should be.
Speaker 8: It's twenty five second one the wide receivers in the NFL.
Speaker 1: There you go there, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: I'm suppose yours isn't just constant fantasy content or mock drafts.
I guess it'd be more mock draft season. Right now,
I am full swing.
Speaker 5: We did a full hour with NFL Network RT Lewis
yesterday on Oh Yeah, raft Talking, I.
Speaker 1: Mean draft talks.
Speaker 4: Fine, mock drafts, I don't know about them all right,
our two next the bench
