Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Say Hester and Hester.
Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each
other on the air live from the Mercedes Benz Baton
Rouge Studio.
Speaker 3: It's off the Bench, Welcome back in an hour, number three,
O T B on one, O four five, ESPN Baton Rouge.
Speaker 4: And we are moving right along in our sec quarterback
tier list.
Speaker 5: We left off with Texas A and M's Marcel Reid
and we put him in steady.
Speaker 6: But so I gotta bring him on our tier list. Yes,
we all turned it for come to an agreement.
Speaker 4: No, just majority wins, but Jordi wins. Yeah, got it.
And if it's two and two then maybe we live
it up to the chat.
Speaker 7: I haven't been keeping track, I have, okay, okay, So what.
Speaker 6: Do we end up on Marcel Reese? How do we
end up?
Speaker 4: Marcel Reese is a fullback for the Raiders.
Speaker 6: That's what he was. He was a teammate, really good,
probably the best in the NFL. I was shot at
you joking, Yeah, he did make a lot of proble.
Speaker 4: Let's go to Arkansas and Taylor Green.
Speaker 8: Steady, you know what he is.
Speaker 7: I feel like you can put him steady, you.
Speaker 6: Know what he is.
Speaker 9: He's been a I was looking at this the other day.
He's been a starter for three years now. Like Boise,
he stayed in Arkansas. His numbers are kind of the
same all three years, like never dipped and never taking
that jump.
Speaker 8: Like kind of is who he is.
Speaker 6: You know, he's a reflection of the Arkansas football program. Steady,
that's it.
Speaker 7: That's fair.
Speaker 4: I know you're saying that, mid Man.
Speaker 6: I mean, they're they're they're good, they're always going to
be dangerous, especially when L. S U plays them, always dangerous,
but just never have been able to take that step.
I mean that that is no. I mean it's steady right.
It's the like the Chargers in the NFL.
Speaker 5: There's nothing I can say to that, because you're right,
it's exactly like, not not terrible, never great.
Speaker 6: It's like the are they the Wisconsin of the SEC?
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, yeah, it's a good call.
Speaker 6: Wisconsin's that's a better team though.
Speaker 5: That's the moment from Wisconsin to Arkansas. Uh, I think
we got our first great Diego Paba. Yeah, but he's
certainly more than Steady.
Speaker 9: And what he did at Vandy last year with like
the talent around him, like outside of Stalwarts, he didn't
have much.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, he goes in the great category that he's
got the great grit.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's like it's never gonna He's not a he's
not a next level player.
Speaker 6: We talked about, so, like, I'm curious to see how
with a full year getting ready, how they adjust him
if he can, like I know, who have some games.
Speaker 4: I don't know that he's gonna pop off. I don't
know that there's like an adjustment like thirty years old.
So yeah, it's an old dog new tricks, but an
old dog can trick everyone's true.
Speaker 10: Year.
Speaker 6: And I'm not and I'm not going to give these
grades based on what they did last year. It certainly
comes into calculation, but I think I will adjust. I
think he's got to go into that. But he's going
to go into that.
Speaker 5: He's off platform that It's it's hard to make that
adjustment because you really don't know. And he's gonna have
some bad with that too, sure, but it's hard to
like get a book on him because like I don't
know what in the hell this guy's about to do.
Speaker 4: Ye in a good and bad way.
Speaker 6: There's a pretty big gap year between the great and
the study. I would put him somewhere in between. And
I'm not giving him great. I'm giving I'm giving him.
Speaker 4: He beat out, he beat Alabama and Texas Van, I'm
giving him great.
Speaker 6: I'm not saying that Pave is a great quarterback.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that he's a great football player.
Speaker 6: Great football player. Love that are we doing? Football player? Tearless?
Speaker 4: This guy didn't quarterbacks. Not a football player, now, he said.
Speaker 11: It, not me.
Speaker 7: He was over here defending uh placeholders.
Speaker 4: Yeah, over here defending holders. You get, okay.
Speaker 6: I was just kidding everything so twisted.
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 9: Uh, Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton, I'm putting Gunner in steady.
Speaker 5: I put him in steady too, like he in the
Sugar Bowl. Yeah, it wasn't because of him. He was
making more plays than I thought he would. A really
good Notre Dame.
Speaker 9: He's just looking two thirty passing against Notre Dame, sixty
two completion down, a touchdown, no picks, no weapons on
the life.
Speaker 5: You get the ball, and it would be like the
bomb squad just let him through.
Speaker 9: And I get that that was like his only like
start last year. He went in against Texas. They didn't
ask him to do a whole lot, but he was
efficient there. Yeah, James, Yeah, so you're good against Texas
and Notre Dame. Those are two top five defenses a
year ago.
Speaker 8: Like he's a steady.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, they they came out. He was a He
came in against Texas and he was a change out
and had a lot of success doing that. Right. Yeah,
I got to see with him. I think he's got
all the talent and the intangibles to do it. And
there's nothing that tells me so he's at least steady
right now for me.
Speaker 5: All right, here's where we hit some heavy hitters. DJ
Lagway Florida must see.
Speaker 8: I'm I'm putting him in its complicated.
Speaker 9: DJ Lagway, Look, DJ Lagway, show the nice things.
Speaker 8: What guys, He showed nice things, But here's the reality.
Speaker 9: He was fifty nine twelve touchdowns, nine picks a year ago,
less than two thousand yards.
Speaker 8: I gotta see it.
Speaker 5: I'll put him in great because I really want to
put him in Lait like he with a chance diced
up LSU with no hamshring. I'll put him in great
with a chance to be elite.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 4: I can't go as complicated with DJ Lagway, he might
be the most talented.
Speaker 12: That's why I was asking earlier if like it's complicated
as part of still to prove, because like proved, But
I'm like trying to figure out, like what so.
Speaker 7: I don't know. I guess to require we should have
like operated for.
Speaker 4: Me, Like it's complicated means I don't know if you like,
I don't.
Speaker 7: I don't know IF's complicated. I think he's great, but
I'm saying, like, is he is he? What they're saying.
Speaker 12: He's going to be this upcoming season is what I'm
trying to figure out, Like where would I put him?
Speaker 4: That's why he's not an elite for it?
Speaker 12: Okay, so I guess I would put him in great then,
But I kind of agree with Taylor.
Speaker 4: Can you go back and watch I can't.
Speaker 8: I get it. He had great moments, he had some
bad ones, and he was a freshman. I get it.
I just felt like we got to see a little bit more.
Speaker 5: Right, Well, everybody's vote curious the same way, So what's
your finals say it's complicated?
Speaker 7: I just right, I want to put him in great.
Speaker 12: But like I do, okay, I do kind of agree
with some of the points that he's making, like there
is still something that you need to prove. But I
do think that he's great, So I don't want to
put him and it's complicated, But Jim, you.
Speaker 5: Don't feel great about situation because nobody's taking a job
or the guy wasn't good.
Speaker 8: I'll put him in steady. He's got some weapons.
Speaker 6: If we had the if we had it, i'd just
say it's good.
Speaker 4: Oh we don't, yeah, because that would be easy.
Speaker 8: So greater steady, greater.
Speaker 6: Great or steady. He's from Florida.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go steady, all right, So inside the BAYU
four chat type breaker, we need you in the next
sixty seconds while we're talking about the next quarterback, is
DJ Lagway great or steady Florida quarterback?
Speaker 4: Put it in the chat? Will tally him up?
Speaker 7: Isn't there a round table?
Speaker 6: These categories a little bit more, because there's a pretty
big gap.
Speaker 4: Between steadying all our way over thinking.
Speaker 6: Well, it's gonna be clips. Oh Ester said that the
Floridas quarterback's great.
Speaker 5: He is, and I'll say I'd say it with my
chest out. He's a great quarterback guy, can make all
the throws, had no hamstring gets l s U put
on a thoroughband is the goat, taped it around his
leg and went out there and changed who he was.
Speaker 6: He's goaded collars.
Speaker 7: I just feel like there should have been a because
like it's complicated, it's a little.
Speaker 4: Aggressive, elite great. Well, I just feel steady Eddy and
it's complicated.
Speaker 12: I just feel like elite and great and it's complicated.
Are so aggressive?
Speaker 4: Yeah that's what.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like we're nailing this.
Speaker 7: Isn't there another one that we were tied on though?
Who did Marcel read? Were we tied on him?
Speaker 10: I was?
Speaker 6: It's complicated on him.
Speaker 7: I was complicated too.
Speaker 12: Okay, so we're tired on that one too, So let
us know your thoughts on Marcel, Reid and Jay.
Speaker 8: Looks like steadies winning right now.
Speaker 4: Wa Wow, that's a little surprising.
Speaker 5: Okay, man, Look, I know we all hate I know
we all hate the Florida Gators, but we're watching tape
after the show today, all four of us.
Speaker 6: Because I hadn't watched any tape. I'm just kind of
all right.
Speaker 4: South Carolina Lenora Sellers I'm going to elite Elite.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, he's an elite. He did enough at the
end of the year at least.
Speaker 7: So like I feel like he said enough versus l.
Speaker 4: In that game if he doesn't get hurt.
Speaker 5: Also, like, besides Rocket Sanders, who played running back, named
the weapon.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, say Nick Carver because he's Nick Carver's the
guy looks like the part. He looks like Calvin Johnson.
He doesn't play like him.
Speaker 4: He's a longer running track, and so they have high
hopes for him.
Speaker 6: But name the weapon with a similar play style to
said Kate Clubnick. He out played him by far in
that game. So yes, we're going to.
Speaker 4: Lea Andy balled out wearing rex beecs. Yeah, if you
can't appreciate you, he he.
Speaker 8: Could, he could be in. He could be in. Great,
he's got rexpecs.
Speaker 4: He jumps to elite Kentucky. Zach Calzada. Yes, that's Zach calc.
Speaker 8: As complicated as hell.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's as complicated probably as any on this list.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know.
Speaker 9: It's so weird, Like we always look at stoops, it's like, oh,
he's gonna be a steady eddie.
Speaker 8: He's gonna have this like, I don't know what to
make of Mark Stoops.
Speaker 6: Definitely not me googling Zach Calzada.
Speaker 5: He's been the starting quarterback at A and M. At
Auburn uh Garnet work last his last stop.
Speaker 6: I don't remember him at A and M.
Speaker 9: So he came in for Jimbo's big recruse. Right, Haines
King got hurt. He beat at Alabama and M started
the rest of the year. He was actually halfway decent
for him there.
Speaker 8: He just fell off.
Speaker 6: Based on his head shots. It's complicated, all right, Let's
go to.
Speaker 4: Tennessee.
Speaker 5: Joey Aguilar is expected to be the starting quarterback. Was
at Appalachian State last year, transfer to u c l
A and one, then U c l A grabs he's quarterback.
Speaker 4: So you see the last quarterback goes to Tennessee.
Speaker 5: I want to say Steady pretty much got traded for Yeah.
Speaker 8: It's got to be as complicated.
Speaker 9: He hasn't been there because he was at u c
LA in the spring and they just kind of did
a little partner swap action between Tennessee and u.
Speaker 7: C l A Swingers.
Speaker 6: He's gonna be I would love to see the quarterback
position at Tennessee just be a train wreck this year,
just because of the way the off season played out.
Speaker 9: That bagular George McIntyre's a five star freshman, like he's
he's just not quite ready yet.
Speaker 8: But I mean the room's okay. They haven't done anything.
Speaker 7: Yeah, very complicated out there.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna trust in Josh Heipel and I'm gonna say
it's gonna be steady.
Speaker 8: The thing is they were nine and three last year.
Speaker 9: Like everybody wants to crap on Nico and be like,
Nico wasn't great last year. I know they made the
College Football Playoff. He wasn't any good.
Speaker 4: The running back was the offense player of the year
in the car.
Speaker 8: That's the biggest loss is Dylan Sampson.
Speaker 4: That's a misconception.
Speaker 5: Josh Hipel wants to run the football before he does
anything else. Everybody just assumes because he was a quarterback
and put a big numbers at Oklahoma.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, he wants to run the football, that's why.
Speaker 5: And he runs it out of eleven personnel and every
run is available, which I love receivers, you better get ready,
like to cut off the backside on some of these runs.
Speaker 6: There's no better friend to a quarterback than a good
running game. Like if you have a good running game,
it makes your job so so much easier, so much easier.
That's why what that Smayer did last year was so
impressive to me because there was no threat.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, not any big Yeah.
Speaker 6: We got a little bit better at the end of
the running.
Speaker 5: Back Like I think cayden Is he was hurt, he
was banged up, and there was like there were struggles
on the offensive front like pass protection elite, but they
did struggle at times in the run game.
Speaker 9: And so what do you want to do with old Joey.
It's like part of me wants to put him in
steady because of that.
Speaker 5: Like I think he's complicated because I just think it
was messy the way it happened.
Speaker 4: I'm going, it's.
Speaker 9: Complicated, and you go, look, you're one of year two
and apps it wasn't better his first year.
Speaker 8: So yeah, I'm going, I'm going it's it's complicated.
Speaker 5: Let's see Missouri bo probulah, it's competent from Penn State.
Speaker 8: We didn't seen anything.
Speaker 7: It's complicated because I don't even know who that is.
Speaker 10: He was.
Speaker 8: He was drew alishs back.
Speaker 5: He came in against Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl,
completed a couple of passes.
Speaker 4: That's really what a lot of people know about.
Speaker 9: And like a lot of people have question marks about Aler,
this guy backed him up like it's got to be complicated.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, there's I mean there's yeah, you're just guessing
at this point. If you put him anywhere besides this complicated,
he'll probably turn out to be pretty good.
Speaker 4: I do think he's very talented quarterback.
Speaker 5: And Eli Drinkwitz has done a lot with guys that
I don't think have as much talent, like Brady Cook,
great college football player, not uber talented, and I think
Eli got a lot out of him, so he could
he could end up being somewhere different. But right now,
I'll agree it is complicated. Let's go John Mattier Oklahoma.
Speaker 8: You gotta put him in great. He's done a ton.
Speaker 9: I mean, people love him. He was great at Washington State,
hadn't played in the SEC yet. Can't put him in elite,
but he's great.
Speaker 6: I think I think great with a chance, Yeah for great,
great with a chance.
Speaker 4: Laundre agreed, Let's go arch Manning.
Speaker 9: I can't I can't do anything other than you're going
to complicate him.
Speaker 7: He's complicating him.
Speaker 8: How do you not definitely complicated?
Speaker 4: No, I'm quite enough for me to get him out
of his complicated.
Speaker 12: I was going to put him in steady, yeah, just because,
like you do have a lot to prove, especially with
all the hype surrounding you.
Speaker 7: You're Arch manning. But in the Yeah, I don't know.
I think I'm gonna put him in steady.
Speaker 9: Sarkesian bumps him up to steady for me, Like, look,
I think incredible. I think I think Arch is talented
as hell. He lost his top three receivers from a
year ago, he lost two starters on that offensive line,
Like sark proved that he could rebuild after twenty three,
So like I have no doubt that he can't do
it again.
Speaker 8: But like he's gotta do.
Speaker 5: It all right, what you're going I would have gone, hmm,
I'll probably lean great, But I'm okay with steady.
Speaker 12: I'm putting him in steady just because of the proof,
like you need to prove it factor.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's gotta be there, perfect spot. I think ability
was great. Yeah, situation wise, we don't know. Yeah, yeah,
situational you never know. And it's college football. You're always
replacing positional people. You're always replacing.
Speaker 6: I saw enough last year to let me know that
he's got the skill set and nothing's going to be
like too big for him. So plus the Sarkesian factor,
I'm going great with the chance with him.
Speaker 5: I would lean more grades than steady. So two grades
and two steadies maybe to the chat, all right, arch Manning,
marcel Rey, Marcelly Reed, and DJ Lagway.
Speaker 7: I think it was like overwhelming.
Speaker 8: DJ was pretty much steady.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, we get we get roasted for that one.
Speaking Jacob, I, I don't.
Speaker 5: Like it at all because I know I think he's
better than that. But it doesn't matter. This is not
my list.
Speaker 6: This is our before So we're gonna watch filming all
these people so before week sero. Yeah, we are going
to update this list.
Speaker 7: This is just we're just can we do film sessions
after the show. Yeah, so I can get in on.
Speaker 4: That, Yeah for sure, Yeah, no problem, we'll put it
up behind us hours.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 5: And speaking of Elite Elite Training, Academy Elite Training academybr

All right, we'll clean this list up, put it all together,
figure it all out. But when we come back, our
guy Devin Snow aka hold the Mayo, joined us here
on OTV.
Speaker 1: Off the bench.
Speaker 5: All right, go to budros Eelectrical dot com Bujos Electrical
dot Com for that whole home generator to get that
quote right now.
Speaker 4: Storm season is a coming.
Speaker 5: In fact, the weather over the last couple of days
has been unpredictable. Our generator actually kicked on for a
couple of minutes.
Speaker 4: The other day. It is the ultimate peace of mind
when you know, no matter.
Speaker 5: What, you're gonna be able to stay in your home
and I have to get a hotel and I have
to go somewhere else in the city where somebody hopefully
has a generator for themselves. And we're not talking about
something where you've got to go out there and you
got to you know, get it started yourself and you hope.
Speaker 4: You can run a fan and you refrigerator.
Speaker 5: We're talking about a whole home generator that when the
power goes out, immediately it kicks on and you've got
that ultimate peace of mind.
Speaker 6: Yeah, don't be the one. Don't let this year be
the year where that power goes out for three, four,
five days up to a week because of a storm
or because of a random freeze that we get in batteraries.
Today's Monday. Every Monday morning, my generator kicks on for
about five minutes just to maintenance weekly mant's and it
makes me feel so good. Peace of mind with a
generator bootros Eelectrical dot com.
Speaker 1: One of these nights from Players to Legends, Ster and
Flynn breakdown l s U football like only champions.
Speaker 5: Can you know who we should have had in this
sec quarterback tier. This conversation was our next guest, Devin
Snow aka hold the Mayo, because Helly saw most of
them at Manning Passing Academy.
Speaker 4: Dav that's my that's my fault.
Speaker 5: That is a rookie move by a veteran player, because
you actually had the chance to see them spend the
football last week.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and I got to see what they really like
when they were at the ball. You know what I'm
saying that that's got a fact in right there. Like
Marcel reed, that dude was so annoying. I was talking
so much Jont dude the whole night. I couldn't wait
to face due.
Speaker 4: All right, So he goes from steady to maybe as complicated.
Speaker 6: Like what kind of trash talk.
Speaker 10: Like I can like chow, yeah, talking about what he
did alas shoe like dude, like for like two hours.
Speaker 4: Bro, you didn't do that to anybody else, my guy?
Speaker 10: Yeah, So not not too high on him. Uh, you know,
I got to be honest, man, The uncertain on auts
like I just don't understand that because first of all,
he looks like a pro quarterback all his mechanics and stuff,
like a spot on. You could just tell he's gonna
be good. It would be an absolute It be insanity
if he wasn't good and not get like depression and stuff.
But now he's gonna be he's gonna be great.
Speaker 5: I do think from his makeup of and look, we
all know who's related to we don't have to even
say that anymore, but of his makeup of how he
was raised and how he went about studying the game.
And you pair that with a really good skill set
that we've seen, you know, since he was at Newman
in high school. I don't think, like even a starting
quarterback job at a place like Texas, which is going
to be one of the most pressure packed quarterback situations
you can have. If anybody is ready to handle that,
it's going to be somebody who's had to handle that
his entire life.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and then I also agree with Sallist because that
was the best dude I've seen out at Manning camp.
Speaker 11: With Sellist, I mean easy like he was.
Speaker 10: Just elite, you know what I'm saying. That's another guy
just like every throw was just like kind of bracktaking amazing.
Speaker 6: You can tell a quarterback when a great one from
a good one when when they just throw the ball,
it just looks different, right, It just but the spin rate,
the pop, with the accuracy, just the way the ball
looks it just and it looks it looks effortless when
they do it too, like when it's just you can
tell a guy with really great arm talent and just
because it just looks different everything. And so our big
discussion before you got on here was DJ Lagway from Florida. Yeah,
so there's a lot of arguments. Jacob has really kind
of hurt about like our ranking of him right now,
So what's your thoughts on him?
Speaker 10: No, I like Lage. I mean, don't get me wrong,
there's like some bias because we got.
Speaker 11: To play in week four, But no, he's good.
Speaker 4: Was he at the Manning Passing Academy?
Speaker 10: Man? I can't remember if he was. I'm thinking about
that right now.
Speaker 5: Actually, actually he's Actually he's he had surgery in the
off season, so I bet he not.
Speaker 10: Okay, Yeah, because I was about to say, like, I
just don't remember really seeing them. But you know, there
was a couple other guys that aren't even in the SCC,
like the quarterback for Washington. He looked good. I forget
his name, but he looked good. I mean, he won
the whole competition and everything. So who was.
Speaker 5: Maybe like the one guy though, that you know, was
out there and you're like, oh, man, I thought this
guy was maybe a little bit better than showing out here.
Speaker 10: It's got to be the quarter right. So the Georgia
quarterback what's his name, stock Gunner Stockton and then the
Alabama quarterback both were like to me, just were like,
all right, you know, I just wasn't wasn't blown away
by either. So I remember saying that to myself. I
was like, man, I just I just don't think that
they got that guy this year. But you know, I
guess we'll say.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The Alabama quarterback situation is, you got a transfer coming in,
you got a guy in ty Simpson who's been there
for so long time and kind of waited his turn.
You got a highly tattered guy out of high school.
But it doesn't feel like it's solidified at all.
Speaker 10: Another guy that was talking a lot of mess was
the quarterback for Arkansas Green. Yeah, dude, he's huge, but
he was talking a lot of mess too.
Speaker 4: What was he doing calling the Hogs?
Speaker 10: Well they were playing Yeah, yeah, it was it was
his team versus in Uson's team. They were doing like
a little seven on seven and you know he was
he was talking mess the whole time that the entire time.
Speaker 6: Did he back it up?
Speaker 10: Well, I think his team, Yeah, his team did beat
US's team. I think it was at the last seconds.
His team had to like drive down the field and
they ran out of time. But yeah, no, I mean
he looked he looked a part. I got to give
it to him. He definitely looked apart. But at the
end of the day, he plays for Arkansas. It's fair,
you know.
Speaker 5: I mean, uh, dev I'm gonna take a complete, complete
left turn here. I don't think we got your thoughts
on the Pelicans draft last week, and there's a lot
of people out there. So they traded an unprotected first
round pick next year to get Derek Queen from Maryland.
I think he's a really good player. I think he's
going to be a good NBA player. But a lot
of people saying it's one of the worst trades they've
seen in the last decade in the NBA because they
expect the Pelicans to be bad and that to be
a top five pick.
Speaker 4: What were your thoughts.
Speaker 5: And I know you've got a lot of callers that
probably called in and gave you their opinion.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I don't understand why people would say
it's the worst. People are so wild on the internet, man, Mike,
how is that the worst trade that they've seen outa
you know what I'm saying, like out of all the trades,
all the picks. I mean, you know Dalko Millisis was picked.
Speaker 11: You know that that happened, Like I don't understand, you know, right.
Speaker 10: So, and I've seen this guy even in the tournament
and stuff, like he was making an impact then, so like, yeah,
I like Derek Queen. I mean I remember listening to
Jake Madison talking about drafting Derek Queen like months so
he was spot on on that the fears kid no fears.
Speaker 11: I love that he's got number zero, but like he's
you know.
Speaker 10: He's super young. I mean, I like the aggressiveness of I.
Speaker 11: Don't know, I guess like a revamp, like this is
a revamp.
Speaker 10: And it's like, hey, this is try number what free
of rebuilding around Zion. So here we are again and
I'm interested to see like how this how this goes
this time? You know, Zion needs to play. I think
the main thing is you got rid of that soft
cloud that the Pelicans had for so many years of
like being so soft with with the players. Oh you know,
Zion play tonight. But Dion's gonna sit out this game.
I hope that's over. I hope that's over, dude, Like,
get that out of here. That's just not a good
mentality to have. And it gets down to the fans
the way the fans are so off. Even if fans
are like, oh yeah, no, I think it's the right
thing to sit him this night. No it's not. No,
it's not dude, Like, let's play, let's play ball, and
let's let's win some games. Bro, Like we don't have
the what's the word. I'm looking for the pleasure of
just being like, oh, yeah, we're gonna fit them out
because it's the back to back. Man. Screw that, dude,
that's stuff. Saw.
Speaker 6: Let's pretend that Devin Snow is the GM for the Pelicans.
Are you making that trade in the draft? And then
what are you doing to Zion?
Speaker 10: I mean, I'm definitely keeping Zion. I don't care. I
want to watch Dion's entire career playout right instead of
trading them somewhere, which you know how this works. I mean,
we've all lived in Louisiana long enough to know, like
this is when you trade a guy like that, he
goes on and you're gonna see him on TV. How
many safety players have we seen this happen? So many
former Pelicans players. You're gonna see them. Josh Hart's in
the playoffs playing for the Knicks. You know you're gonna
see them on the brightest stage. They're gonna shine. So
why not, like just you know what I'm saying, I
want to look at Zion until you know, keeping Dusty
on the shelf. Yeah, dude, Like I just as far
as the trade, it's like, be aggressive, be different, try
something different. You know, when was the last time we
had like, well, you know, I'm not going to say
extremely successful team, but where the fans when vested all that?
I mean when we traded and got Anthony Davis and
Austin Rivers and that one, you know, we were rejuvenated,
we were excited. We had a couple of runs in
the playoffs. Like at the end of the day, we
talking about the Palaquins still. But you got to make
some moves, man, you got to be aggressive.
Speaker 5: So I like Dumons, it feels like Trey Murphy is
going to be counted on to be a star for
this team. Like he's going to have to raise his
level of play. Not that he hasn't, but it's been okay, Well,
you had CJ there, you had Ingram there, and so
he was like a nice secondary piece. But it feels
like he's going to have to be the second scorer
on this team behind zyeon because you look right now
and once you know who knows where Murray's going to
come back. But if you started the season today, it
would be fears of point guard pull at shooting guard.
You'd have Murphy at the three. He's I on at
the four, uh you know. And and then obviously at
the center position. You signed Looney, you draft Queen. You're
gonna have a lot of different options.
Speaker 4: There, so start these.
Speaker 5: I thought he was great in his rookie year a
year ago, but like you got, you got three real
options at the center position.
Speaker 4: But like Trey Murphy's gotta score some points.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, he's gonna have to be what year is this
the Trey Murphy year four? He's gonna have to be
what we've said he was gonna be for the last
four years. It's gonna have to happen. I'm not trying
to knock the guy, but like sometimes it's inconsistent. Uh,
he'll go for forty points and then the other night
he'll go to two for twelve from three. You know
how he's gonna have, Dude, he's gonna have to be consistent. Bro.
Speaker 11: And and look, I like the guy, but.
Speaker 10: I'm not completely sold that he's the superstars of Yeah,
but this is the year he can show him.
Speaker 6: So I want to talk about like a little bit
more important sport you have fourth Were you tuned into
the Waiter King Joey Chestnut hot dog eating competition taking
back as a belt.
Speaker 11: Dude every single year?
Speaker 10: And Yeah, I mean I met Joey Chestnut a few
years back, and I felt like I was meeting Like
you know what I'm saying, Like you feel like you
were meeting Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Is there any better announcer, like on television, any sport
than the guy that announces Joey Chestnut on that before
the hot dog eating No.
Speaker 10: He's right up there with BOTHA. Yeah, he's that guy.
Waits the whole year for that, so, I mean it
all just comes out in one intro. I mean he's
he's ready for that too. Yeah, and people forget, like
these dudes don't just eat hot dogs. You know, if
you go look up the Major League food records, go
pull them up. I mean Joey chestnutt holds the most records,
Like he holds the records for most peeps, you know,
the things from most peeps.
Speaker 4: He's out here in peeps.
Speaker 10: Yeah, dude, he's eating everything. Pull up the rackets.
Speaker 11: They got it at major League Eating dot Com or
something like that.
Speaker 10: I used to be into this stuff, but yeah, no,
he's got like fifty records.
Speaker 6: All those guys are accomplished eaters. A lot of them
are specialty eaters, like some are like good at burgers,
like you said, just like really random foods. A lot
of those guys at that table during the hot dog
getting contest are champions at their specific food.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I know. Joey Chefnut's also got the records the
cheese curds as well.
Speaker 6: I think striped cocktail too.
Speaker 4: Got Calandra has the list of eggs he's had.
Speaker 12: One hundred and forty one hard boiled eggs in eight minutes.
Speaker 4: With him.
Speaker 12: Asparagus is also another bathroom, dude, Yeah, respect your for real.
Twelve pounds in ten minutes of deep fried asparagus.
Speaker 7: Forty five.
Speaker 4: All day.
Speaker 12: You got to send him some merch telling him pork
forty five hold pork sandwiches in ten minutes. By the way,
these eating contests, like I cannot watch them because they
disgrussed me, Like they're so disgusting.
Speaker 6: They dip it in the water and the one guy
and the one guy's like hand is red up to
his elbow, Like what are you dip in your hand in?
Speaker 7: Probably gatorade.
Speaker 12: You need to get in some of my high no doubt,
fifty three soft tacos from Taco Bell in ten minutes.
Speaker 4: We've all done that there.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 7: Just like good night after Fred.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could do that. That one's easy. Uh.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you're setting a record, but uh,
where are you eating red beans and rice today?
Speaker 10: Oh dude, I have no idea, But you know I
said that last week and I found a gym Clay's
cafe right down headline across from the Saints practice facility. Bro,
you betta get over that, dude, that place was phenomenal.
You never no, never been there. I took a complete
shot and the dog on it too, like was it
was like one of them situations the way I'm just
looking on the computer and it's like eleven o'clock and
I'm like, dude, you know, here we go again, bro,
like you know, trying to find somewhere, blah blah blah
blah blah. And I just saw this little place, Clay's Cafe,
and it might have had like eight total reviews, but
they were all five stars, dude, and they were all
like one guy had wrote that he had left a
fifty dollar tip. And that's when I got out of
my chair and got in the trunk. I was like,
no matter. I got to see what's going on. Hey,
what's what's your thoughts on the ad passes for LSU? Bro?
Who y'all think is gonna be that?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, we used we used your your list kind
of of your odds when we were talking about it.
I'm going to say that it feels real. Raisin Gaines, Yeah,
that feels like the leader in the clubhouse. I think
Gordon would be in the mix. Walk Homes would be
in the mix.
Speaker 6: The leader for me is either Coca Powerade or Louisiana Lottery.
Speaker 10: Well yeah, and that's the thing because like that list,
I'm made with the odds. It wasn't like including real
like mainstream, like big, you know, powerful companies. Now we'll
throw one out there, and I think would look good
on the LSU jersey. You ready for that Taco Bell, Dude,
that would be.
Speaker 4: Figes just because it's the color combination.
Speaker 10: Yeah, the color combination. And let's just be honest, Taco
Bell best fast menu in the game period.
Speaker 4: I mean he used to be like super cheap too.
Now they got a little proud, a little proud of
stuff there. But it's okay.
Speaker 10: I get the same thing every time I get five
sauce tacos, I get a chicken casada, and I get
two orders of cinnamon Twist with a bye glass.

Speaker 4: Three three three eight three zero. We do have some some.
Speaker 5: Breaking news and I'll explain who this is. Flynn Joke.
Esiglione is retiring as the AD of Oklahoma. He's been
at Oklahoma for so long. I mean, this is somebody.
He's the longest tenured current AD and like all of
major college sports, and if you've ever met Joe Cie,
I mean he's an incredible human being, got great stories
and lived a very interesting life. I mean he has
had a lot of different experiences, but I mean he
has just been.
Speaker 4: A staple there in Norman.
Speaker 5: And obviously their their athletic programs have thrived, softball, football,
Baseball's had runs, basketballs had runs. But it's gonna be
really interesting to see maybe who replaces Joe c because
again he's going to retire from his full time role
during the upcoming school year. And like there's a lot
of people that only know Oklahoma athletics through Joe c So.
Speaker 4: Couple of names.
Speaker 5: Zach Selman at Mississippi State, Remember he was right under
Josie at Oklahoma before he takes that job.
Speaker 4: I certainly think that would be one of the leaders
in the clubhouse.
Speaker 5: And look, as we know, you got, you know, an
AD that's more than steady and out there and making
big moves and has all the teams backs and cares
about the entire athletic department. How big that can be.
I mean we were fortunate when we were playing Skip
Bertman was the athletic director here. I mean, we know
what Scott Wolver's doing right now, so.
Speaker 6: Especially in this one like the time that we live
in right now. But you have to commit dollars. You
have to be creative, you have to you have to
swing for the fences on your hires and what you're committing,
and it can't just be one sport and you have
to commit to you know, ad in this world can
make or break you. We see it now. We're so
fortunate here at LSU because we got a guy that
has committed the funds, committed the dollars, committed the time,
and has a pretty good batting average.
Speaker 5: Right now, reading some of the chat, there's a lot
of people that maybe want to get into the car
business with us.
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't like the like Saber trendsetters, but yeah,
pole following what we do, I would like to think
like our gut.
Speaker 5: Anthony Ronado probably you know hear bout news had a
pretty good well yeah, okay, everybody's a follower at some point,
you know, so.
Speaker 4: To make sure we get that out there, you know,
we don't. We don't do that every day at all.
Speaker 6: It's like there's a shape to that, like there's Anthony
and then like we're underneath him. There's more people like
ad You call it triangle.
Speaker 5: It's just a pyramid scheme. Ah, got it? Yeah, that's
what that would be called. No, it's not.
Speaker 4: We just like to hit.
Speaker 5: Big hits, like hits like this Jade and Daniels look
at this that he acts like he's going to hold
onto and he's absolutely not.
Speaker 6: We're holding on to one of our Jadan Daniels cards.
Speaker 4: Is that the one?
Speaker 6: I don't know. We might it might be this one.
Send my downtown and to get graded. Devan's the hunt
saying I need a p S A con connection so
you didn't have to send it to some dude in
Silicon Valley.
Speaker 5: I wish you could, and maybe there is you know
the card game better than I do. I wish there
was somewhere you could just go drop it off and
they would do.
Speaker 6: It right there. There should be and there's got to
be like there's like a I think that's a sixty
five day business day weight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: Like if I'm a card shop and they don't have
this ability, but I would want Hey offer this, you
get one per like territory. You drop it off to us,
We look at it, we grade it.
Speaker 4: It's back the next day.
Speaker 6: But you gotta got it. You'd have to police it. There.
There's a lot of probably some bribery going on with
that situation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, we'll take a break when we get
that intro.
Speaker 5: When we come back, we are going to play the
Joey Chestnut intro because I want to give it. It's time,
So we got to take a break. Now we're wrapping up.
Maybe we'll get this massive bench right here on one
of four to five moster bench.

Speaker 2: We are humbled by age in preparation for the great
insults of death. But there are those who stand immortal,
not through the grace of heaven, but through their own triumphs.
Speaker 14: I speak of this man, formed from the shards of
shattered angels, wielding the white sword of righteousness, standing as
quiet as true ladies and gentlemen, while we all face
the dark mountain of night, forsaken and forlorn alone in
the ruins of our own minds. He will never fail
or falter, for he defies the ministers of our faith
and the limitations of our birth, and he will not
stop until he stands side by side with the gods,
his glorious strung like beads of light.
Speaker 2: To adorn the arc of history itself.
Speaker 13: Joe, Joey, that's pretty electric electric.
Speaker 6: It's not. It's not one of the better ones he's
done either.
Speaker 7: But where does he come up with these things?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 4: No, they're so good all year.
Speaker 12: So yeah, that's like the one thing that he just
looks forward to all years.
Speaker 9: Yeah, formed through the broken shords of angels, like he.
Speaker 4: Goes one fing every year though. He's sort of justice.
Speaker 7: Do you think he uses chat GBT now?
Speaker 4: I don't care. Yeah, probably, but the way it's all
about delivery too, for sure, and he delivers it in
an epic way. I agree, well done.
Speaker 9: Look that I do anything else, I should not. He
should get paid. Yeah, right there a million dollars.
Speaker 5: Let's get to one question here, one question, Will the
USA ever be good?
Speaker 4: At soccer.
Speaker 5: So they lost Nicold Cup final. New Mexico. Mexico had
their A team. We had a bunch of plumbers out there.
I'm kidding, we had the B team.
Speaker 7: I think I probably should have made that lost.
Speaker 5: I think I lost one, lost two to one. No,
it wasn't. Congrats to Launder and Danny. We'll be back
more TV tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Off the bench.
Speaker 5: Well, this feels weird because you know, I was watching
the USA Mexico game and start thinking about Do Sekis
and going for dose, and I guess it won out.
I guess it went out there. But look, we say it,
and it can't be just lip service. There's not a
bad time for dose Equis, lake beer, pool beer, beach beer,
toes and sand do sequis in hand, tailgate beer. It
is never a bad time. So enjoy responsibly, put your
feet up, kick them on up, Enjoy an ice cold
do Scis.
Speaker 6: Logger especial, Ember especial. They got it. We're in South Louisiana,
all right. Everyone likes the beverage. Everyone likes to have
a little beer cocktail, whatever it is. Make it a
do Secis, Go for dose. The delicious Mexican Lagger anytime
is a good time for a beer, and especially do
skis drink responsibly, but delete some beers with a second
