at me.
Speaker 6: Well, actually, no, T Pop was nicer than than he
is now.
Speaker 3: He just wanted to suck you in. No, it's that
it keeps.
Speaker 5: So maybe maybe we won't be friends because you said
he didn't want you here initially actually like disliked me
more as the shows.
Speaker 2: It's the old it's the old adage about coaching where
you know you're in trouble when the coach isn't talking
to you, when he's not on your ass.
Speaker 4: That's when, because that's because he doesn't.
Speaker 2: Care about you.
Speaker 3: My hate you must care about you so much.
Speaker 2: My hate is a kin to a is a kin
to a. Uh, And don't say I never hate on
you a kid you were talking about I was on
your a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like like the ones like in her house like that.
Speaker 4: Is that.
Speaker 2: I'm like, it's like I'm like a seventh grade school
boy pulling your fourth grade like pulling your hair on
the playground. All it is, it's it's love.
Speaker 3: That's actually what kind of happened to me as well.
So when I first started, I was just reading intros.
I was just sitting in reading the intro that you
read every you know, and then like reporting weather you
know or something, and then helping do research for the
show and like production stuff. And then I'd been doing
it for about a week or two, maybe probably not
a lot longer. And at the time, James Harrelson chest
hair r I P. He was producing their show, and
he like I showed up one day and he was like, hey,
I got a new job. Next week, you're going to
be producing the show. What happened literally the same thing,
And I guess unless you don't want to, but like,
you know, it's your job now.
Speaker 9: I went home for the holidays to Texas for a week.
Got the flu while I was there, so I ended
up up stayed for like two weeks, which I didn't
mean to do that, but I came back did Brian's show.
When I came back that same day, they were like, hey, actually,
like you're.
Speaker 3: Gonna do off the bench starting tomorrow, and I.
Speaker 2: Was like tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I was still recovering from the flu, and I was like, okay, great,
never done it before, but I'll do it.
Speaker 5: I remember if she called me or I called her,
like when we found out about it, but like I'm
walking into the gym and like I think I called
her and I'm like, hey, like you need.
Speaker 6: Because I remember.
Speaker 5: I remember vividly where I'm at, like I'm in my
truck about to get out of the truck and like
call her. I'm like hey, so like this is starting tomorrow.
She's like yeah, And I was like, do you need
help with anything? She's like probably, but I don't know
what it would be.
Speaker 6: So we're all right, we'll.
Speaker 4: Just wait it the U.
Speaker 2: I will say this, Taylor was a bit like a
ud f A that ended up just really impressing during camp. Yeah,
because I didn't know a lot about Taylor before. A
Landra was a bit more like a big prospect. Like
I was very excited Laundra to uh to join the show,
and I remember advocating for it because I knew she
actually gave a damn and like worked really hard and stuff.
Whereas Uh, Taylor came out of nowhere and uh a
good way, in a good way with news.
Speaker 7: And we don't really fantastic pass because again I did
news in the morning till last came exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I didn't really know you guys at all at all
when I started this show at all.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 3: I just knew tea because of whiskey and wine.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, we.
Speaker 3: Needed two bottles. Apparently we are thirteen minutes into the
show and Baba is no no number a second four there.
Speaker 4: I mean we're going down, were getting no, I know.
Speaker 3: Looking through those pictures though, it was so funny. I mean,
what all the versions of you, but like remembering the things.
But what a Landra said is true. You have gotten
so like lean shout out.
Speaker 2: Evolved, dude, evolve, evolve fitness. Just had hot elves this morning.
Wet check Wednesday, super sticky, super wet. It's it's, it's,
it's it's. I always feel bad because as I'm wiping
the sweat sweat up after that class, I'm I'm actively
dripping sweat behind me. It's like a cartoon where it's
like whatever I'm cleaning up is almost getting negated by
the by.
Speaker 3: The tail all right, well we did four years, four
more years? You think you can do it four more?
Speaker 4: The what you call it?
Speaker 2: The uh I remember, I'm trying to think. I remember
what I'm just thinking now about my favorite pictures, uh
me and Jake at don Juan sending you pictures making
fun of Misissippi State for losing watching Team USA at
the Pizza place.
Speaker 3: Yep, yeah one time. Yeah, we did at cityl.
Speaker 7: Like we got like a little appearance.
Speaker 2: One time I did a yeah we did. No, Yeah,
we did. We did the That was maybe before before
we were on O TV together. Good guy, that's a
that's a funny picture. And that's the tailor I did
looking like a whale.
Speaker 7: I just wanted to the group of our first ever
remote we did the Coaches Caravan together, that's right over. Yeah,
and it was like an all news staff and so
like it was the first time that they were going
to be interviewed and we had a chance to like
do the whole car wash of interviewing them, like back
to back to back.
Speaker 2: The what about uh so was the slider eating competition
before we were officially together.
Speaker 3: No, it was after because after I had Yeah, I'm
talking about the one it walk on, y'all did some
sort of slider.
Speaker 7: It might have been like there.
Speaker 2: I remember that vaguely. Yeah. I just remember the fred
one more because it was an actual competition, basically me
versus you. Yes, because Dudley and de Boja were both.
Speaker 7: Just not bringing it and JV JV like did not
hold his way to either.
Speaker 2: I can't remember who was partner with who, but one
of the d's eight one slider one didn't even get
one down. I got one, you got none, and Jacob
forced into a slide no, and me and Jacob forced
into a sudden death slider off.
Speaker 7: He ate four in a minute Night three, and we
were both hurteen was tough slider off.
Speaker 2: You better believe. I dunked my slider in my water
and got good bushy. You took that thing down ft up.
Then they handed me a box of eighteen sliders and
I'll never forget it. Oh my god, because my wife
was out of town for the weekend with the kids.
Wow Classic had just been launched, and I was fully addicted,
And my god, I sat in my house and drank
beer and ate eighteen sliders for the next like twenty
four hours. I felt awful I mean, I really did
a number of both my mental and.
Speaker 3: Physical health abosode. Wasn't there a USA versus Mexico at
the Lundon there was got the whole bar you suck
somewhere a whole bar was chanting.
Speaker 4: That's from That's from one of the pro days.
Speaker 7: Maybe what are you wearing?
Speaker 2: I think I don't know. I was playing Director Rivers
was very nervous about doing the hits of people, and
I was trying to.
Speaker 3: I know, And you can hear him in the background,
like I was just doing an intro and he's always
in the back. You got it, your great job.
Speaker 2: I think my background commentary on the gold like junior video.
Speaker 7: I watched the first remote looking good in his letterman jacket.
Speaker 3: Hey who among us? Was at Jake's very first show
with this company.
Speaker 2: I was where was the first one at Sullivan on
the stage the stage.
Speaker 7: And Matt and it was me, Flynn, Rants and Hunt. Yeah,
they were going to be like rotating co host. Remember
I had somebody different every day at that time, and
we did our first one at Sullivan's, which was kind
of random, Like I don't know that I've been to
Sullivan since then.
Speaker 3: Remember when I fed Mario.
Speaker 2: I just saw that from Daniel. That made me.
Speaker 3: He got weird.
Speaker 2: That was so good.
Speaker 3: That was the logistics of it are not weird. I'm
just I'm putting a burger out, You're taking a bite
like that's it got so weird.
Speaker 7: Mario loves Burger, loved him, he talked about him daily,
and so to have a good looking woman feed him
the burger by mouth was a sensual experience.
Speaker 6: He gets a little.
Speaker 2: The weirdest part was when she licked the grease off
his face. I didn't understand.
Speaker 3: There's the waxing T BOP's chest at that time. We
tried to make a Pelicans watch party happen at Bogi.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got.
Speaker 2: We made it happen. We made it happen. We had
we had a smattering, we had fun.
Speaker 7: Town.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what T Bob learned about me. That my
when I panic at a bar, like when I walk
up to a bar, I mean, I'm always usually gonna
order champagne, like That's what I'm gonna go to until
I decide what I want. But I'm at Bogie's and
so I was like, there's no way I'm gonna go
up there in a pass for champagne. So I was like,
I just panicked, JUSTU.
Speaker 2: I remember, was it red Bull vodka?
Speaker 3: Yes, I just ordered Red Bull vodka because I just
reverted back to like whatever I would have done in
any other college bar situation.
Speaker 2: But you know what, it's not a bad panic order
to be like you can't yeah, you can't talk to
mess it up and you're gonna get energy as well
as you know, a little bit of.
Speaker 3: A buzz panic mode. We've had a lot of good times.
Speaker 2: We have had a lot of good times here on
the station. Uh God, hanging with Hester had to be
brutal though five different co hosts.
Speaker 3: I think it was in the middle of the next
six to.
Speaker 7: Eight and that was I was still doing my street
Board show before down in the old studio. So I
remember when I was doing the SEC show in the morning.
I was doing three shows a day from this building
through the networks.
Speaker 5: The last segment of like Matt has Jimmy one every day.
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, I'm trying to think it was Gordy on Mondays.
I think it was Rants on Tuesdays, Hunt on no
Flynn on Wednesdays, Hunt on Thursdays. Fridays was me Flynn
and Dixon.
Speaker 3: You know what, I actually hosted Ony night.
Speaker 4: You got him out in the studio Friday.
Speaker 7: We go one to three on Fridays.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, okay.
Speaker 2: I thought to say, no way, you get him out
of the city Fridays.
Speaker 7: We do it one to three at walk On.
Speaker 3: Me and Dixon hosted your show several times together. I've
never met him in my life, and I walked in
and we hosted a show together. It was like the
best time I've ever had. Yeah, we did a lot
of Mississippi talk, a lot of Mississippis.
Speaker 7: Actually you call where he's from fake Mississippi, but he's
still from the true.
Speaker 2: You said that, you can't you can't back off that claim.
Speaker 3: We had a lot of people in common. Kevin always
laughs at me because anytime I meet someone from Mississippi,
I'm like, oh, where are you from? And I always
can like find a He's not a big place. There
is not a big place. And we did that on
air for like an entire segment. Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 2: Oh do you know Steve Johnson. Oh yeah, well.
Speaker 4: It's just you.
Speaker 2: But it makes it altogether.
Speaker 7: A ton of people. He does because he has both
his family has Missippi State and Old miss and so
he knows it.
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody lived with a dip in his mouth more
than Dick Dixon's daddy Richard. Well, no, he ain't. Nothing
compared to his papa, the original, the O dig straight up,
that was a dip master right there. Both all right,
when we get back more Shenanigans, give you luck.
Speaker 1: Minutes off the bench, back to sports talk, maybe off
the bench.
Speaker 4: What's happening y'all?
Speaker 2: Welcome back to O T B A little Wednesday Champagne
and Hagins. No, me and Jacob never actually gotten into
an argument like me and Jordy. He used to, not
like a bad like And I do not mean that
in a way of like like.
Speaker 4: Oh whatever it was about. No, No, like it was,
it was.
Speaker 2: It was great. I loved it. It was great working together. Uh,
he's he's he's very passionate. Though I am too. Sometimes
that could kind of come to a head. And it's
not say that me and Jake Kevin had disagreements. Certainly
I talk over them all the time. There was something
we had to work out in the beginning, uh about
it though, No, But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: We've never like actually argued.
Speaker 7: I've really seen you mad, and it was not something
that it wasn't us. It was something that happened sales
kind of messed up.
Speaker 2: I mean it was right before.
Speaker 4: It was before that was a bad flash.
Speaker 6: It was it was right before the show, and that.
Speaker 7: Was like I hadn't seen Tea about that mad I
think ever, even like being his teammate.
Speaker 2: That was a Montoya level crash out.
Speaker 7: Now I understood why you were mad, and I wasn't
happy either, but you were.
Speaker 4: Yes, I had.
Speaker 3: And it's always a little confusing when he gets actually
mad because you see it so infrequently that like at
first you're kind of like.
Speaker 4: Is huge, is it a bit?
Speaker 2: It's it's the boy who Cried Wolf, and you realize it,
You're like, is it a bite?
Speaker 3: Like that a few times and it's like confusing.
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody ever saw the worst crash out
I've ever had in this building, which would have been
during Song of Purple and Gold, when I can't imagine.
When I would edit for like twenty four, like I
straight up when it's sleep the Night four episodes of Drop,
I would sit here and I would edit in the
studio till like four or five am, and something was
going wrong with the technology, like and when it saved,
when something like that, And I was in the downstairs
studio punching and kicking the walls as hard as I physically.
Speaker 7: Thought, you're gonna say the air no, no walls just.
Speaker 2: Going off and like like yelling, yelling, like from the
from the base of my soul. And it was probably
like four am, three thirty am. I don't think anybody
was here or actually know it would have been closer
to seven because I was freaking out because it was
almost showtime. But uh, but yeah, that was my second time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was I was like, if somebody walks down
here from the other side, they're gonna get punched the
face right now. I don't know if you remember this.
There was one day we came in studio and none
of this was working, like none, and we had already
like we were like as a show, like something kind
of made us mad, and it was, you know, we
were like, hold up now, OTB still exists. But we
came in and nothing was working and there was not
an engineer. There was nobody here. It was just the
two producers and us too, and nobody was here to
help us, and we had to go start the show
on the second floor studio. Oh, I remember you and
you and Mario had to share a microphone.
Speaker 4: That was actually pretty fun.
Speaker 7: That was like that was like, I was so pissed.
Speaker 6: That was not long before I saw it was It.
Speaker 2: Wasn't that long ago.
Speaker 7: I was so pissed. I was on the other side
of the glass. I had to like basically hold a
wire together on another one to make a microphone work.
Speaker 3: Nobody you ever have to use the second floor studio.
Speaker 7: And I had to hold and to have like my
delay in my ear was awful. But I had to
hold a wire together just to be heard, and nobody
was here to help. And I was like, this will
never happen on any other show.
Speaker 6: And I was like just pissed.
Speaker 7: And I'm like I was trying to positive, trying to
kill it with positivity. We were positive, were laughing, and
you were having a good time, and I'm like, I'm
not having a good time. I was.
Speaker 2: I was mad Friday. Actually I did get mad Friday.
I had a minor crash out like.
Speaker 3: Friday the whole first we started.
Speaker 2: We started the show more and everybody was mad, and
we like doubled down and only talked to Kellen Moore
for the rest of the hour.
Speaker 9: Yes, I thought the Saints roster was asked.
Speaker 3: You and Jordy crashed out at one time. Day crash out,
I don't remember.
Speaker 4: So this is a problem that I don't love that.
Speaker 2: This is a problem that we used to have where
we would be like, Okay, yeah, we'll work that day,
that'll be fine, and then and then the day gets there,
and then we're like, why the hell are we working today?
Speaker 6: There?
Speaker 4: And then we yell at They.
Speaker 3: Would be yelling at me first to like because then
we have to record all your lives and make sure
everything's set up.
Speaker 2: I think it was literally maybe a Christian It wasn't.
Speaker 3: A snow day. It's the day that it's snow. But
I don't I think we were the only show who
had to work.
Speaker 7: That's my first I hadn't started on that I was
here for this job, but I hadn't yet started. It
was twenty eighteen. It was snow, and I remember and
he just bore.
Speaker 3: The brunt of it, like he I know it was.
Speaker 4: It was not nice.
Speaker 3: I remember sitting over there and I was like.
Speaker 2: It was misdirected anger. It was not Kate Salt. It
was our own fault, forever agreeing to do the show
in the first place.
Speaker 3: Me and our old video producer Palmer got in a
fight about riding bicycles one time. He was he was
so aggravating. You were like trying to not laugh.
Speaker 7: You don't let it boil up. Y'all are arguing, and
if you're mad about something, you pretty much get it out.
Speaker 3: That was the problem, is that he was just abrasive
and he was always poking at everyone, and I just
sat next to him, and so he was just poking
at me constantly, and finally we had just all boiled
over over bicycles.
Speaker 2: I just remember being like, y'all shut up, just like
shut just shut up, stop, just stop. I can't, I
can't right now. This is the dumbest argument I have
ever heard in my entire life and all my time.
Speaker 3: But I was furious.
Speaker 2: Oh man.
Speaker 5: The only time I don't get a lot. Uh, the
only time I ever got mad was I can't.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, y'all.
Speaker 5: Y'all remember this because this was this was when she
was here and ever this was that long ago. Remember
about a year ago. This streaming service literally just stopped.
Speaker 2: Yet you get mad at someone, I've seen you get
mad at.
Speaker 5: I got here and like I was, I wasn't, guys.
I was so upset because like everybody's texting me, would
you look like halfway halfway like, oh, of course you
broke And I'm like, guys, like I did, I'm the
first one here.
Speaker 4: The volumes a little bit. I was.
Speaker 6: I was in such a bad mood. I don't know
if T Bob remembers.
Speaker 5: Like literally I went home, it was like four o'clock
in the afternoon, and I texted T Bob and like apologized,
and I was.
Speaker 2: Like, see, that's the thing about Taylor though, And that's
one of the reason why I really like him. He
holds himself to a very high standard, and so when
something goes wrong, he he really puts it on himself
when the majority of the time is I mean, uh,
And that's what I tried to tell him the day
is like, bro, it's not it's not on utul good.
Speaker 5: That is like the one thing. Like I'm in a
good mood like pretty much all the time, but when
I'm in a bad mood, I'm like.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just stopping around awful mood. You're in
the afternoons. I'll just be sitting in office. I can
just see Taylor bebopping around every time he stops in
my office to talk.
Speaker 2: Every time in the bathroom, I just hear him and
Jordan yelling NFL takes at each other say hey, oh man,
what was uh? Oh yeah, obvious says when you started
the morning chair. Remember everyone in the huddle hated him
and he trolled everyone. Ud. I'll never forget after I
made the switch. You said I made the switch in January. Uh,
that February on my birthday, I went into my closet
and cried because of how unsure I was about the
decision that I made could come back not going well,
bring it up. It's just to say, like, hey, whatever
he feels in the short term.
Speaker 3: Just you know, stick, you did a good job because,
like I started a month or so after you, and
I just felt like you fit it.
Speaker 7: Like you.
Speaker 4: It was not at first, not at first.
Speaker 3: It was you talked about this the other day, but
one day that you slept through your alarm. I was
the producer at that point, but we thought it was funny.
He was so stressed out we thought it was funny
because he never did it before and I.
Speaker 2: Was coming from eight to midnight. But it was the
context of but.
Speaker 3: He came running in, like we started the show, and
we weren't really friends at that point, Like I just
started so like I wasn't texting you to be like, yo,
where are you.
Speaker 2: But it was the context of everybody already like hating
the show and me feeling that pressure and then feeling like.
Speaker 4: Oh, no, don't even know it, just like you've never
done that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he always worked into a studio at seven.
Speaker 2: I have been working eight to midnight for two and
a half years at that point, so it was a
weird lifestyle change. I used to go work eight to
midnight and then I go home and I'd be hyped
because he had taken half of Ivans in a double
shot of espresso in a nice coffee, and you know,
my heart would finally stop threatening to blowed about three.
I'd walk my dog at like one am, and then
I'd play overwatched till like three, and then sleep till
ten and then all of a sudden, I'm waking up
for like morning show.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: It was a weird change. It was a weird change,
but uh, maybe see you guys, you two could be
crying in your closet one day and then very happy
eight years later.
Speaker 6: That that would that would have been me.
Speaker 5: I would have had a very similar response, honestly, like that.
Speaker 2: I would never forget it in my closets smelled like
cat crap because like I didn't clean the litter box
and the cat had just craped and pissed all over
the closet, crying while memor closet awful ammonia because I
didn't want my family to see the bathroom.
Speaker 4: Uh, closet was in the bathroom. Oh yeah, so I was.
Speaker 2: Deeply hidden in the inner sanctum. So obviously the bathroom
was inside the closet was inside the bathroom, inside the room.
Speaker 3: So you were you were trying to get like in
that it was.
Speaker 4: In the Yes, I was in the inner sanctum.
Speaker 7: I was.
Speaker 2: I was fully in the inner sanctum of vulnerability. And
uh and it worked.
Speaker 3: There was tricky because like the Huddle is a lot
meaner than account because yeah, everyone had like a like
a troll account. It was so it could get really mean.
Speaker 6: I had a I had a Huddle account.
Speaker 5: Are you the one that was making because I because
all throughout college, like I was, I was probably a
f R huddle because like all throughout college, I worked
for controlling Matt because like my best friend was in
the huddle, but his name was not anonymous in the huddle,
so I made an anonymous count scraped on him.
Speaker 2: To be clear, guys, I no longer take vibeance or
all regularly at all. It is just all you're getting
on super Bowl week because your boy needed every now. Yes,
and some of those trips I'll dip in for sure,
but like every now and then, but but mainly now
you're just catching me on a Vinny coffee.
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: And lines, was I've really.
Speaker 2: Been joined the last couple of weeks, Dude, I'm not
gonna lie. I don't know if it's placebo, but again,
what does it matter, right placebo's placebo that it's working. Uh?

other parts of the anything else other parts of the
world exists, like we're gonna hate this one team and
do well against this one job. I'm getting so hyped
to watching US Canada hockey tomorrow though, which is not

care a lot about well that's what I'm saying. Jokes
on me because I missed awesome stuff and I had
to catch up on the internet afterwards, where if I
had been watching live, it would have been just like.

like well known. We aren't supposed to able to addnybody
to a roster, and then because then someone got sick
and they're like pulling some strings and some guys getting
added to.
Speaker 7: Our Canada and US because of injuries they've been able
to add. Now both teams have to have one more
player never be able to play for that.
