Speaker 1: Off the Bench. We have to Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where the.
Speaker 1: Plays get broken down and science gets denied The Bitch
Hour two of Off the Bench Live from the Raising
Kine Studio.
Speaker 3: All right, all right, welcome back here off the Bench.
We got a Friday shoe for you already our number two.
Mm hmm, it is confirmed. Finally the river is back
to being wet on our number two.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think only a hiatus.
Speaker 2: It felt like I felt like too much.
Speaker 4: Well, I was just playing in a different hour.
Speaker 5: How do we feel he does long pause.
Speaker 4: You were working, working your way there? How do we
feel about.
Speaker 3: What I was saying? How do we feel about?
Speaker 2: What is the l C game tonight at five?
Speaker 4: When it's basketball? When's basketball games at five? I'm not
sure about the baseball game it is at six thirty.
Speaker 3: So let me ask you guys this Taylor, do you
have a video ready of Kim Molke?
Speaker 5: No, but I'll get it.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I can't wait.
Speaker 3: Well, there was was scrolling through the interwebs yesterday and
came across the video. So we on Wednesday we interviewed
Kim molk Huh every Wednesday. Well, this past Wednesday, we
were talking. She started talking about this weekend, what it
meant to her, what it meant to Flage potentially being
her well definitely her last game in the mat got
emotional about it. Well, it kind of went out there.
A lot of people got eyeballs on that. A lot
of people heard that interview. Flage heard it. She got
interviewed yesterday leading up into the brackets started.
Speaker 4: No big deal.
Speaker 3: It's not like it's not a big deal. Yeah, it's
not a big deal.
Speaker 4: Really, it's not like.
Speaker 3: Kim Olki certainly was asked about it as well. Yes, Taylor,
did you find it perfect? Let's see what she said.
Speaker 6: She was the first one I signed here, and and really,
what did we have to sell at that time? You know,
we were just starting I inherited a team that just
had a tremendous year when we got here and hosted
the first and second round games and then sign Flage,
and you know, we we had to compete against some
really good teams. And then the amazing thing about it
is you're not going to see many kids anymore stay
four years at schools. It's not happening. And for her
to stay all four years speaks volumes of how much
she loves l s U. And I certainly will never
ever take her for granted.
Speaker 4: I think this is the one always.
Speaker 7: I'm emailing it to you, and you found a different
angle of it.
Speaker 2: It's so a good one though. Well, She's true.
Speaker 3: There is not many people that are staying four years
at any sport.
Speaker 7: That's why I think so many people made you know,
it's very easy to roof for Garrett Nessmeyer too, for sure,
and I give so like it was disappointing that he
didn't have a good year because you wanted the team
to have success, but also like him and kind of
know what he was going through and what he did
for LSU Like that made it upsetting because you wanted
him to do well so bad because he was in
the unicorn that stayed four years, could have certainly gone
five years, could have gone other places, and you know,
stuck with LSU.
Speaker 3: Like used too. That was the standard. Wow. I mean
she didn't have an option. He did.
Speaker 7: You'd go down a level or you had to sit out,
or he's the right one. You graduate all right here,
this is it, this is the right one.
Speaker 6: I said this on Senior Night. People were like, you're
not very emotional, and I said, it's not her last game.
Speaker 3: I said, when.
Speaker 6: I I wrapped my head around the fact that that
kid won't be an l s U A uniform again
on the PMAC floor, then it'll hit me. And it
actually did yesterday morning. Uh. We practiced yesterday morning and
I do my weekly radio show with Hester and he
was at We were just talking and it just this
lump came in my throat.
Speaker 8: The thought, oh man, she a hundred forgot your ja
and who And.
Speaker 4: I got a lump in my throat.
Speaker 2: Her brain hurt trying to.
Speaker 3: God, what's that kid from tyler O?
Speaker 2: God?
Speaker 4: He he asked me that question that I didn't understand.
Speaker 7: What was his name?
Speaker 5: So funny if she was like I was on with
Jake and his friend taking the.
Speaker 9: NFL Hester and his friend, Yeah, it would have been
so funny.
Speaker 3: My gosh, that's name, he.
Speaker 4: Said, Richard instead of Reshard.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I told you I confused her a couple of
weeks ago. And I'll never live it down, Never live
it down.
Speaker 4: Mitchell in the chat.
Speaker 10: In the chat said, and the other guy with the
dumb ask questions.
Speaker 7: The best part about that is we would have never
have seen that and Matt brought it to our attention.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because I saw it.
Speaker 3: It came across my timeline yesterday and I was watching
it and literally I was walking down the hall in
my house and I let out a cackle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I guess I got sad.
Speaker 5: You laughed, and then it just turned laughed and I
was like, bro, it's so funny.
Speaker 4: That is incredible.
Speaker 5: She goes, I was on with Hester and uh, and
I got this slump in my throat.
Speaker 2: Jack, I said, and that's your new name. You probably she.
Speaker 5: Should have snapped the finger, but like the it's not
important anyways, hold slap's name.
Speaker 2: Asked me that social media question he'll never live down.
Speaker 4: Ever, that was great. God, I love the bull Pack
only o TV.
Speaker 3: Heartbroken thought I'd really made it a lifelong impact on
her life.
Speaker 4: You did, but not enough for you to be memorable.
Speaker 5: No, Matt, you're the the question she'll never forget and
the name she'll never remember.
Speaker 3: That that's true. She's still thinking about that, that.
Speaker 4: Question my weekly radio show with Hester.
Speaker 2: And that should become a drop.
Speaker 4: I feel like, yes, I'm about to put that in
the open.
Speaker 7: Absolutely should Uh, It's okay, Man it's fine.
Speaker 2: All I can do is go to the tape, try
to improve, get better.
Speaker 9: See but but fox hole, Oh TB gotta.
Speaker 4: Mention true, you know, team win, it's true, team win.
Speaker 3: I personally think the show of the year some don't
I do.
Speaker 4: I think it's just general show of the year yea
in the entire world.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, But saying like we gotta like we got
a OTB shout out there and he's celebrating. That's kind
of like the fourth guy on a scramp golf scramble
team that doesn't contribute a shot or if all, but
then like he holds a trophy up.
Speaker 5: But he's on the scorecard. He takes the picture, the guy.
Speaker 2: That slams the most beers at the end and celebrate.
Speaker 7: Oh you're the guy that runs to pick up the
rivalry game trophy even though you didn't play the clean jersey.
Speaker 5: Mm hmmm, that's in that golden boot all the way
down the field.
Speaker 3: My jersey's not clean. Him out here getting bloodied every
single week. Yeah, don't ask questions. Sorry, man, we love you,
I'll get better.
Speaker 5: We appreciate you next week. Hey, coach Matt Matt here
why in the end that's two ends the other guy.
I mean, you'll do that sometimes when we have a
new guest, I do I introduced them.
Speaker 3: Definitely have a new guest.
Speaker 4: Wait, that's so funny. So we're talking about it.
Speaker 10: Our tweet just showed up on my timeline and it
was the one that we posted of Kim getting emotional
and Harrison Valentine, I guess at the press conference yesterday
had asked Flage was that surprising to see her get
a little emotional and said yeah, because she had just
went off on me in practice. She was like, is
this not a I this is real.
Speaker 3: That's so good.
Speaker 2: It just went off with me in practice.
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 9: But that's how you know, that's how you know there's
no doubt about it.
Speaker 3: We've all played sports. We all know that it's funny.
Speaker 7: I Uh, I had nor Turner on my NFL show yesterday.
It was so funny because you know, we're having it
all yeah, and uh, we were kind of just talking
about different stuff whatever, and he's still like calls me
a knucklehead.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 7: It's just like, yeah, it's you know, you're not going
to get rid of that. And uh, he told like
some great stories just about yelling at me, Me and
Mike Tolbert.
Speaker 9: Yeah, what are you knuckleheads doing?
Speaker 3: And he got into it. So it was fun.
Speaker 5: That's a good room though, you and Mike Tolbert. That's
that's a good room.
Speaker 7: Our room was me, Mike Tolbert, Lt. Darren Sprolls, and
then we had Michael Bennett. I don't know if you'll
remember him from Wisconsin first round pick from the Vikings.
Speaker 9: I remember the track guy.
Speaker 5: He played for the Saints for a little bit towards
the end.
Speaker 9: Of his and uh, we had him in the room
as well. It was a great room.
Speaker 7: But he was telling a story of we're in four
minute offense one time we're playing at Tennessee and we're
beating hell out of him. It was Christmas, like one
was Christmas either either day games, and so you're trying
to get out of there and me and Tolbert without
being told we could do so we were rotating full
back and tail back.
Speaker 3: Just switching.
Speaker 7: He's like, I'm sitting there yelling at y'all, Like what
are y'all doing? He said, Then you picked up like
three first downs in a row. He's like, I just
let him go. That's fine, Yeah, knuckle heads, I have
to think about like trying to do that and not
ask for permission. Probably should have asked if we could
do that in the NFL game.
Speaker 3: So it worked, did you're a grown adult? Yeah?
Speaker 7: Win eleven games in a row that year and then
lost to Mark Sanchez and the Jets the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Shocker mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Right, y'all lost in the playoffs early on.
Speaker 7: Second round because we got to buy the first with
one seed. Y'all's first round our first round, which I
think is a bad deal. You get a first round
by and you're on a heater.
Speaker 3: It's not good.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 4: A lot of times, well didn't the college Is this
what you're talking about? The college football playoffs about?
Speaker 7: Like my professional career, I was the one seed on
a team that was one seed two different times. Both
times we won eleven games in a row going into
the postseason and lost the playoffs.
Speaker 4: I'm not I can't remember the playoffs in Indiana's own
Everybody that had to buy loses. Yeah, I mean, you
can't take a break on a heater. You got to
keep it rolling, that's.
Speaker 3: Right, unless you're the Seahawks.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, oh, I buys.
Speaker 5: In fact, that Mark Sanchez took the Jets back to
base championships is insane.
Speaker 2: What's ignoring these days?
Speaker 5: Uh fighting, He's.
Speaker 7: Just gallivanting in Indianapolis downtown was.
Speaker 2: Back in the headlines two weeks.
Speaker 4: I just saw something.
Speaker 2: The drug tests came back.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, just a little finan, big dabble.
Speaker 5: He hasn't quarterback of my lifetime successful.
Speaker 7: It's not very hard success wise. Yeah, I mean Chad
Pennington was better. Yeah, but I mean but Sanchez because
that defense was stout, Nan show.
Speaker 3: And green run the ball. I don't know a moment
this Chad was not bad.
Speaker 7: He couldn't throw it through a paper bag, a wet
paper bag, but it was gonna be where it's supposed
to be at least.
Speaker 4: What the hell? What does this mean? Silvil cocaine and
fentanyl allegation surface as massive discovery unfolds in Mark Sanchez
Sanchez case. Silvil, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe it's like not a not a big enough
amount to be criminal.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I would have thought it was criminals.
Speaker 4: Amount of.
Speaker 7: It is wild. It really is that like, let's pill
back just a little bit. Mark Sanchez worked his entire
life to be a professional football player, Like we all
like you have to or you can't make it. So
he does that, okay, and then he plays in the NFL.
It goes how it goes whatever, that's that's not important,
but he works for that, and because he did that,
he gets his opportunity to call football games and like exact,
so everything he's done like to get to that point,
Like he's worked his entire life to get there, and
then one stupid ass night Indians, Right, you're out there
doing things you should not be doing and you ruin
your life.
Speaker 2: For what it's kind of the way life goes.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's just it's like, what were you doing?
Speaker 7: You know, you had to call a game the next
civil amount of like you're not in Indie like for vacation.
You were there to work the night.
Speaker 5: If he doesn't get in that fight and get arrested,
like does he just show up on Finnel calling.
Speaker 3: The game th right, I mean, I don't know, I
don't know.
Speaker 4: Probably like a little.
Speaker 7: I don't know how long it's like a comeback. This
is where this has been te Bob's apartment, not mine.
I don't know how long it lasts.
Speaker 5: Or does he do it again right before the broadcast.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you talked to Mark afterwards.
Speaker 3: You don't understand the pressure up it under Yeah, yeah,
I had to have.
Speaker 4: A civil amount, what even a lot?
Speaker 5: Maybe he did this so people would forget about the
bud fumble.
Speaker 3: Whoo.
Speaker 2: I bet he didn't go.
Speaker 4: Out the bigger PR. Yeah that's a good PR move
to just do fentanyl and cocaine and someone.
Speaker 5: It was a great player. I just did a little
bit of fending. Okay, don't look up any of the highlights.
Speaker 4: Mark Sanchez.
Speaker 2: I don't think he thought before that night he didn't
get stabbed.
Speaker 4: I don't think he got He got het.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he put the dude in like he put
him in the hospital. Yeah, beat his face in. Yeah,
not a good situation. But yeah, find me. That's kind
of how like life goes.
Speaker 7: Like.
Speaker 3: You can do all the good things in the want.
If you make a mistake, it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 7: Yeah, find me a show that will start off the
conversation talking about Kim Molkey being emotional, talking about flage
and ended it with Mark Sanchez and fentanyl and yep.
Speaker 9: Going down dark alleyways and getting stabbed.
Speaker 3: We had some good comments in the chat, Mitchell said
either die hero or live long enough to be forgotten
on the radio. That's kind of a combination of the two.
That's conversations a little bit. That's right. Uh do we
think that Murphy Sam Jenny paid Kim Ulk you forget
my name? The thing to question?
Speaker 7: If she would have said with Hester and Flyann, that
absolutely would have been like a perfect drop.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it would have.
Speaker 5: I do love.
Speaker 2: Gavis, I do we get ai it?
Speaker 4: No, No, we're going to use the one where you
were forgotten.

of that.

Speaker 2: It's one of those long, complicated names.
Speaker 7: To be fair, though, to be fair, it was the
same exercise her brain was doing during that question.

It's the first time anybody that's gone to that school
has had a birthday during the school year. I think, so, so.
Speaker 2: I did it.
Speaker 5: It's the first time through Like, I don't.
Speaker 3: It's not it's it's the main school.
Speaker 7: It's it's LSU because you know, you gotta have an
LSU parking pass. So I get it's the first time.
I don't know, man, but it's it's causing stress. I understand,
and not to me, but the entire family. Let's get
it together.
Speaker 5: Put up to me and we've done up at us
in high school because we end up parking passes. And
I turned sixteen in September, but back then you had
to have your permit for a full calendar year. Yeah,
so it really I had to wait till December to
start driving, and so they were like, no you have
it was like two weeks before the semester was over there,
like you gotta wait till after Christmas break and get
the next Yeah, the next semester was But you don't
have these you just sitting in a pile.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 7: Like we didn't have parking passes out evangel It's like, hey,
go find that gravel over there and just put your
truck there, Like.
Speaker 9: We can't. We can't get a dedicated lot just to
like to the high school.
Speaker 3: Didn't have parking passes in high school that y'all have
like a secured lot with like a security guard.
Speaker 7: We had, like yeah, we had like you had to
check like if you were leaving campus, like you had
to like say something to the guard. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay,
but like you could park wherever. Oh yeah I got that.
You know you didn't have a number, No, we had
a number, did you seniority Yeah, close, like the older
like the all the seniors got to pick first, then
the juniors picked, and then any sophomores.
Speaker 3: I'm sure y'all are driving it. What eighth grade? Probably
pretty close? So and then long pause. I turned.
Speaker 7: If I have this math wrong, somebody let me know.
I'm pretty sure I turned fifteen in May, like eighth grade,
about to be ninth grade summer. I think so. And
the age was fifteen back then, did you, Yeah, because
you graduated at nineteen. I turned nineteen the day I
graduated high school. Yeah, I think that math checks up. Yeah,
so techniqually, I guess I could have just counted on
my fingers.
Speaker 3: You know, we were real good at football. Obviously, there
were men, that's right, and children. We were the COVID
year college players before it was in vogue. That's true.
Speaker 5: We had a couple, uh, we had a couple guys
that had turned sixteen, like back half of freshman year,
and everybody else was started fifteen. Yeah, so they were driving,
but it was a freshman high only, and they were like,
we don't allow any of our students to drive the school.
So there's a gas that he should across the street.
And the guy made friends with the owner. He's like,
can I just park right back and walk across? And
people thought he was so cool and they're like, bro,
look he's driving to school.
Speaker 3: Oh no doubt.
Speaker 9: Yeah, of course they did.
Speaker 7: Of course they did. See I didn't do that with
my two older sons. Like technically, and you've seen Jackson,
you know how large he is. He's a sophomore going
to be a junior. He could technically by eight days
he could have been a freshman right now. Should have
done it. Oh why uh sport? And his name is
Jay Bones, pal it is Jay Bones. That's very true.
I don't know, not paying for college sounds fun. So
another year to grow and develop, you know that sounds fun. Hey,
if you got talent, I'll find you. Oh yeah, for sure.
But just to guarantee, you know, maybe you'll get a
parking pass. Can we get a parking pass? I'm excited
that we do have a big baseball tournament this weekend.
It's gonna be out in Zachary, Zachy. Yeah, I'm gonna
miss the first game.
Speaker 3: It's four thirty. I'm gonna be on air.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 7: My producer on NFL is like, you know, we can
probably put some stuff in the can and like record
some segments here in the breaks and like, try to
get out of here. I was like, trying to get
from where I live to Zachary anywhere close to four thirty.
Speaker 3: It's about as far as it gets in Louisiana.
Speaker 7: Heart far drives for you, Yes, huh, And like the
amount of people I'd have to pass by to get there.
I was like, buddy, this is a game changer situation.
I'll be watching, I said now for the last thirty
minutes of the show. Don't expect anything creative from it. Yeah, Pat,
you got it. Just replay your interview and that, Yeah,
replay mine one.
Speaker 3: It was great. It was great.
Speaker 9: It's probably the best of these months. It was really good.
I even wrote you after. I was like, dude, that
was actually like really good.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like us trying to get to so
Huck's playing hucking to Is that a plan over a
healing place?
Speaker 9: It's trying to get that's not easy to get it.
Speaker 3: It's trying to get in that side of town over

all backed up.
Speaker 4: Someone's calling the station line perfect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, mol.
Speaker 5: She was ready to apologize.
Speaker 4: I'm always so scared to answer before.
Speaker 7: I don't know, you don't have to answer it on air.
You can just answer it on the side if you
want to.
Speaker 3: Definitely don't answer on the air. That's dangerous.
Speaker 5: He Bob did that one time. Remember he put it
always like, hey, you're on a TV. What's up?
Speaker 4: No one answered, but no, I remember that. I was like,
should we answer it on air? He was like, yeah,
why not? And then we answered it and the guy
said something about pean and cold soup or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're on a TV.
Speaker 2: What's uthing?
Speaker 3: We've done that before, cold soup.
Speaker 7: We've not not on here, but we've done it on

some guy just like started like profanities.
Speaker 2: Okay, well you.
Speaker 5: Can't him and his study was really cool.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, we can't. We couldn't do that because we
don't have a dumb button right right. We're living on
the edge by not having one.
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean by the rate that how many people.
Speaker 5: This show we've got that for everybody else?
Speaker 3: He really did and like he doesn't. He's not even
like a cusser.

Speaker 5: Flow, we have a we have a coach do one?

bullet Cony God comes talking Tony one.
Speaker 9: I haven't heard this song in a long time.
Speaker 3: That's a banger.
Speaker 9: That's a catchy banger.
Speaker 3: See it's both.
Speaker 7: Your yeah, and you could just be catchy and not
a banger.
Speaker 3: Yep, But we just we determined yesterday to be a banger,
you have to be catchy, yes, but not all catchy.
Speaker 4: Songs are banger.
Speaker 3: This is both. I'll be singing this. Every banger is both,
is what we're saying for the most part, unless you
got them like subtle ballads. Yeah, some indie song yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: No, there's some bangers that aren't necessarily catchy.
Speaker 9: I guess, like like your coffee house stuff.
Speaker 3: It's like not catchy but bang. Like if it's good though,
you still sing it afterwards and think.
Speaker 2: About it, So that's ketch, I guess.
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's a good point.
Speaker 7: This is going to be This is going to be
totally random to this show, but it's something that I
talked a lot about yesterday and it's one of those
ones and our listeners know. Like I like to get
on referees in the National Football League, it's always, you know,
my whole day. I want them to be accountable for
their actions. Good are bad, and they're new, like their CBA.
It's coming up, like their agreement with the league and
they're threatening to strike and then we'll have a replacement officials. Again,
we've been through, you've been through that the Seahawks Backers game,
and so like we started to talk about it yesterday
on moving the Chains, and I'm like, you know, Pat,
I was like, let's don't even talk about this part
of it.
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't really care.
Speaker 7: I was like, can we not get to a point
where the officials are full time? Like they're full time
employees of the National Football League? Like you can't be
a dairy farmer on Monday through Saturday and then on
Sunday being elite official.
Speaker 3: I was like, I know they do good.
Speaker 7: It's all bad, But I'm like, it's a billion dollar organization.
We can't come up with a sum of money that
is a really good living for them to be full time.
Like if you paid them like three hundred thousand dollars
a year, like that would cost every team like six
hundred thousand.
Speaker 9: You put it in a pot. That's not a hair
on there, you know what?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 7: Because I know for me when I was playing, I
had to be dedicated and focused full time, year round
on being a National Football League player. You did every
coach does, every coach like I'm not a fireman from
January to April and then all of a sudden, go
out there and play football. Front office members don't have
side hustles. They're not lawyers on the side referees. I
packed the game as much as anybody. They're involved in
the biggest moments. So like, if they want like a
new deal, I say, Okay, you can get a new deal,
and you're also going to be full time like ed
Hockeyly you're not going to be an attorney in San
Diego and then on Sundays go call games.
Speaker 3: It's just not gonna happen. And yeah, I guess the
counter to that would be, like what do they do.
Speaker 7: Oh, you have year round training, You go through VR
systems and you speed it up a little bit, and
you start to watch tape and you go through seminars
of Hey, here's our point of emphasis and here's what
we're going to do.
Speaker 9: And just like us from.
Speaker 3: I do think they do all that. I'm not defenditive.
I'm just saying I'm I do not.
Speaker 7: But what I'm saying if you were a full time,
like to a level like where you do more and
just like us, like February March April, we kind of
did our own thing. Now we were doing things to
get ready just like they could. But they make enough money.
You make three hundred thousand dollars a year, you're doing
pretty good minus the pretty like you're doing good all right.
So you make that money and you go through just
like driving tests, Like you get to a certain age,
you got to pass a driving test, Like you got
to pass something. You come up with something where hey, man,
you're getting up there in age. Your eyes aren't as
fast as they used to be. When Major League Baseball
players retire, the thing they all always say is my
eyes couldn't keep up with the ball anymore. What's the difference,
like can their eyes and the speed of the NFL game.
So like again, like you got to pass the test,
we got age requirements as well. Like when you get
to this age, you got to go past this tests
and you use the VR system just like quarterbacks do.
Not with the Jets, not that VR system but a
new one, and you get ready and for the entire year,
that's what you are. And then you go to training
camps right and OTAs and that's your training camp, that's
your OTA and you officiate teams.
Speaker 3: Won't that teams pay guys to come in.
Speaker 9: But if you're a full time employee.
Speaker 7: The league's paying them year round and you're just there
and so that way, the team doesn't even have to,
you know, to dish out the money. I don't know
it just when they impact the game so much. They
are making critical calls and they've got to be sharp.
And I'm not saying it's easy. I know it's not.
But why wouldn't we make them full time? Like there's
literally ones that are lawyers, principles of high schools. There
is a dairy farmer. I didn't make that out. That's true,
I think, and I agree one hundred percent of what
you're saying. Referees should be full time employees. They should
get paid like it.
Speaker 3: They are in charge of the biggest sport in America. Yeah,
and it's a multi billion dollar industry obviously, just to
look at the amount of money that's thrown around a
free agency, but half a billion dollars or like two bills,
I don't even think spent three hundred million themselves. Yeah, so,
like the amount of money's thwn around, so they should
be full time. Like, I'm just gonna pose like counter
arguments to this, because there are some clear reasons that
this hasn't been done. I'm sure. I'm sure they've thought
this one.
Speaker 7: One of the reasons is the older referees that have
the side hustles, they threaten to all step away at
the same time.
Speaker 3: Well, that's what I'm saying, Like, you have to have
a farm system at that point if you have, if
you have full time referees, you're going to lose most
of your referees if you make them be full time,
because I'm sure a lot of these people do it,
and they make more money at their full time job
than they do at refereen So then how do you
replace that? Then how do you train that? And then
you're going to tell them that, okay, we're going to
hold you accountable as well, which means they could get
fired and then not have a backstop to fall like
another career to fall back on like that. Those are
the hurdles I see, and I get, I agree, I
don't like, I don't think those should be hurdles. But
the referees that ref in the NFL are there for
a reason. It's not like there's all these different minor
leagues that you can go and train. We have the
college refs. You do, well, then where are they pulling
their restaurant when they all go to the NFL high school,
Like it's.
Speaker 7: Just I get it, But like, what's the your umpires
and double a R trip? What is the incentive? I
guess for these guys, you make three hundred thousand dollars
and you get NFL benefits.
Speaker 3: I get it. But for a lot of the NFL referees,
they might make more than that on their side hustle, yep.
Speaker 7: And if you want to do the side hustle, like,
we got to train a new wave and it might
be a two to three year process to get to.
Speaker 2: But is the NFL.
Speaker 3: Does the NFL have the appetite to go through two
or three or four years? They should, now will they?
I don't know. Do you care enough about the game
to do so? Because but isn't that bad to go
on a two or three I don't think you can
dictate that. You can't have you can't have replacement refee again, No,
but I don't think you can dictate.
Speaker 9: The national football We're talking about a multi billion dollar business.
Speaker 3: They should be held accountable in the media. They should
have to interview, they should have to explain their calls.
There should be more transparency. Why were some games in
college football last year where we could hear the people
in the replay booth and sometimes we couldn't. Like that
should be done every time the replay both they should
be on mic, they should we should hear the conversation
had That kind of transparency should be there. But I
don't want to get in a situation where I got
two or three years of bad referee in because we
lost everybody because we put this rule in. It would
have to be even pay them and even pay them
more and make more guaranteed time that you have to
spend to it. But let them be an attorney too
if they want to be. But like I agree, they
should be full time. The practicality of it is, I
don't want to see two or three bad years of
replacement refs like I saw that one year in twenty twelve.
Speaker 9: Yeap my last thing and we got to take a break.
Make them full time.
Speaker 7: Invest in year round training, have five locations, year round training,
film breakdown, real accountability, build consistency across the cruise so
we know we're having the same situation weekend and week out. Right,
you learn each other because at this level, with this
much money, this much attention. The standard has to be
the standard. The standard has to match the stakes as well.
So if you want to leak performance on Sundays from
the players, what you do you want it from your
referees as well? Well, you need elite preparation just like us
Monday through Saturday. All right, we'll take a break more

Tournament game. Indiana basketball missed the NCAA Tournament for the
third straight year. Yeah, Nebraska football hasn't beat a AP
Top twenty five team.
Speaker 3: In a decade.
Speaker 7: That's crazy, in a decade, but their basketball team now
is one.
Speaker 3: And then Indian football went sixteen to no.
Speaker 9: Imagine telling somebody that.

two thousand that Nebraska football hadn't beat a top twenty
five team in a decade. In Indiana would go sixteen
to oh and win a Natty and Indian basketball will.

an elite run.
