you're trying to learn some baseball names, and it's right, Yeah,
that's right. I didn't want him to see that. So
we're here and uh, yeah, we got the day off
and we are headed to Florida this morning. So we're
gonna take off a little early from the radio. So
we're gonna go. And I can't believe, like it's kind
of weird because we're we're literally one day away from
the turkey and the gravy. I'm excited. One day away
and you're going to uh, the sunny beaches of Florida
where it's probably warm enough to go to the beach.
I actually think it might be cooler there right now.
Oh yeah, you know, you get that little ocean breeze
better than here right now.
Speaker 6: Oh, it was so hot yesterday and humid.
Speaker 4: Don't have to swim shirt for you. It's just cold
in here.

Get ready, guys, fifty five that's pretty chilly.

Speaker 5: At least they are both wearing y'all are both wearing vests.
Speaker 4: There's so much no doubt.
Speaker 6: Thanksgiving, do y'all have a brown one, a special brown.
Speaker 7: I have a dark green and a tan, so one
of the dark Yeah, I think I think you might
go tan.
Speaker 4: You might go white shirt underneath.
Speaker 7: Jeans with boots gives more options underneath. I can pretty
much wear any shirt with the tanst so would do white.
Speaker 4: Thanks you got bringing out the nice khakis too, with
the cuffs.
Speaker 3: Nare good jeans.
Speaker 7: I don't want I don't want tan with the tan
pants jeans with the we don't want all tan.
Speaker 3: That's as bad as ald dnim. I we don't want
the love.
Speaker 4: I mean, Nadian tuxedo is bad at all. Actually, I
think I'm going all din them tomorrow. I regularly wear
Are you gonna wear what you wore for Halloween?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 4: A little different. We just took family pictures a couple
of days ago, and last buy me a pair of jeans.
Had no owned a pair of like blue jeans in
a long time? Bobby one and I got me a
poncho denim shirt. Nice, and you know, Lacey liked the look,
so we're busting that out for Thanksgiving. We matched too.
He had a Canadian tuxedo as well, hut and style apparently,
so it's it never went on.
Speaker 9: Kind of reliving the you and Aaron Rodgers when y'all
went all did them?
Speaker 4: Yeah, hucks, Aaron Rodgers in this scenario, not quite as
many layers is that one? Yeah, it's gonna look great,
it's gonna be fantastic. It's gonna have gravy stains all
over it, huck. What's your favorite Thanksgiving portion of food?
Probably nothing? We're gonna see he doesn't really like any
of it. What's your favorite of all the Thanksgiving things
that you could put on a plate? What's your favorite?
I think maybe ham or macaroni rolls to hem's better
than turkey? How good job am in macarony? Good for you, buddy.
Who's doing the cooking in Florida? I think everybody's in
charge of different things? Okay, so I'm making I'm making
the biscuits. I got this. You know, you go from
scratch or are we just? Oh, we're going for scratch.
We prepped them last night, actually prepped them last night,
so they're ready to roll. All they gotta do is
get them out. And so I do. I do a
layered biscuits. What's this girls deal?
Speaker 6: Actually don't cook?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got with layered biscuits. An alarming amount of
butter goes into these things. Yeah, and they're they're delicious.
I'm also in charge of the festive cocktail for so
we're doing a We're gonna be doing a ginger old fashion.
I made some ginger simple syrup yesterday. Are we got
some candy ginger? So that sounds good? Old fashions to
go to for me I'm trying to decide if I'm
gonna bring so I have a one of the smoked
Uh bring it, Okay, just bring it? Why not bring it?
Why can't use it if you don't have it? And
then what else we in charge of? Oh, Lacey made
desserts made like a flowers chocolate cake, We got cookies,
we got we got all this stuff. But since we're
not hosting none of Like the big the host usually
is in charge of the turkey. All right, I do
have a smoke turkey ordered for the holiday, like when
we get back the Christmas holidays, because I love making
the smoke turkey. Then I love making the taking the
smoke turkey carcass and making gumbo out of it, little
smoked turkey gumbo. Yeah, it's the best gumba I've ever made,
which is a smoked turkey one. Okay, you're gonna get
a bruise from patting yourself on the back here, so
let's go credit to myself on all this. Allow myself
to credit myself. I didn't say it's the best time
with anybody else's ever tasted. It's just myself. Uh what
what like? What's always the order of things like when
do we eat? Is it right before the first football game?
Speaker 7: So for for us, we do Victoria's side of the
family normally like one one o'clockish, yeah, and then my
family like six thirty is yeah typically what we do
every year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because yeah, yeah, you're both families. Yeah, Like
I think you're the only one that has any family
here because the rest of us don't have any family.
Speaker 3: We got we got both fifteen minutes of us.
Speaker 4: What time do y'all go? Well? Tip, I mean we
now like this this year is going to be different.
So typically we'd be up in the Port city and
we'd be about the same around a little bit like
one watching the first game, a little bit eat, you know,
probably during the halftime portion of the first game, and
then you just have a foot you dictate the meal
around the game. Yeah, kind of kind of a little bit. Yeah,
but now this is twelve minutes. You're not missing.
Speaker 9: Now with my son being in the high school playoffs,
they'll have practice tomorrow, so we're not going anywhere.
Speaker 4: We're staying here and we'll do it just now. You know,
it's not like my family. We don't roll deep. We
still roll deep. There's seven of us. Yeah, right, yeah,
we'll just do do it at home, a new tradition,
I guess. Okay, so we'll see how nobody's coming in.
Uh no, they said you ain't coming up here.
Speaker 9: We have family's coming in for Christmas on both sides
at different times, but no, not for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: So I'll take Jackson to practice in the morning, now
do we Is it a Friday game? Yeah? Okay, so
what kind of practice there in high school do we
do on Thursday? We'll kind of walk through, jog through
like like we used to do on Fridays and the indoor,
uh something like that, like an hour. Yeah, but remember
I mean in college, we didn't get to go like,
we didn't get to go home. We would have practice
in the morning and then they would host like they
would host a big at that thing like on campus.
Yeah what was that little place? What was that? I
don't know about the law building or something. We used
to Yeah, they would host like this huge Thanksgiving lunch
for us and it'd be a great spread. But like
if you lived in New Orleans or Lafayette or something
like that, like less would typically be like a Okay,
you can kind of go back home, just be back
by this time, but like for us, we had to
eat there. I remember most times the position coach would
have us over. I remember going to Jimbo's every every
year as well. They have a little spread for the
quarterbacks and stuff like that. That was always fun.
Speaker 9: Yeah, trying to think trip to fan Larry Porter Tod
never invite us over.
Speaker 4: Excuse me, Larry hell Larry duly? Did I remember one
time after Thanksgiving little meal over there. I think we're
pasting the Statute of Limitations on this. Jimbo gave me
a couch that they weren't using it anymore. They got
new couches and they gave it to me. So I
probably don't tell anybody about this, but here's a couch
I'm gonna throw away. You can have it, though, Yeah,
it's not pay to play situation. You got to go
put it down by the street. And if you happen
to drive by in your truck and you and the
boys want to load it in the back of said truck,
then yes, this is an illegal payment. But I'm literally
throwing this couch away. Do y'all want it? Isn't that
wild that where we're at now compared to like then,
like that. You're probably nervous. I was probably had some Yeah.
Oh I mean I got me and Peter Peter dak
CAUSI we went loaded that thing up, brought it over
to bruce Ard Street. Oh yeah yeah. And then now
now you.
Speaker 7: Haven't covered with the tarp in your truck, Like, don't
let anybody see what we took.
Speaker 4: Jim O is this is there not tons of cash
in this couch? What's your deal? Bro?
Speaker 3: What's in the cushions?
Speaker 4: Oh? I'm going to transfer this couch? Sucks? It is
funny like it Look, I'm not naive the fact that
people all across the country certainly got benefits, Like, I'm
not naive to that. I just wanted to be offered
the opportunity to say no, right, which I never got.
I never even got that opportunity to get you got
the opportunity to say no. I would like to say, like, hey,
excuse me, no, excuse me that I can't take that
twenty dollars and even have that number one time? Not
even do you remember anything? Do you remember talking to
the team? Were you with me? We were talking to
It was a year I think it was twenty two.
I went and did like a little freshman panel for
the freshman players incoming players. It was the year that
harl Perkins was a freshman. I mean probably, I don't know.
And they were asking the question that I was talking about. Yeah,
we uh, you know, we got a scholarship and we
lived on campus. We had a scholarship check every month
of two hundred dollars, and we moved off campus. It
bumped up to like five hundred bucks, and like they
all went, oh, I was there because I remember them laughing.
They just all kind of laughter us. They're like, are
y'all serious? How are you supposed to survive on that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got wasn't even a college athlete.
Speaker 4: So so Katie and I got had had gotten married
at me and five hundred dollars was a scholarship check.
And we lived down in St.
Speaker 9: Gabriel and our wrint was nine fifty fifty for a
month and we got five five hunters.
Speaker 4: It's like, uh so, where's this other forfeitt coming from?
Just for housing? Yeah, they're like, yeah, this five hundred
bucks a month should be fine for to pay your
rent and food and whatever you need for this month.
You know, I guess they expected us, like stay at
the Starring Motel or something, I don't know, the Motor Launch. Yeah,
well that that would have been way too expensive. The
star Storry Motel is like, yeah, it's like the Story
Motel off campus housing for LSU football team. Yeah. Uh,
it's funny. It never went up Like after Hurricane Katrina.
Every rent rent like went way too much, but it
went up, but they never adjusted for that. Nope. Okay,
do you think these guys now would get out of
bed for five and you can ask yeah, can you
imagine me sitting there talking This was like even after
the Alabama like talking to Harold Perkins and telling them that.
Speaker 7: You mean like K five n or K five hundred
dollars like just to come to this one workout or
like the whole season, that's actually absurd.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it wasn't.
Speaker 9: That wasn't like the standard price everywhere I knew guys
that played for Miami they got fourteen.
Speaker 4: Really, Yeah, I don't know how that works. Something else
living or whatever guy's got extra like was it was that? Yeah? Yeah,
guys got would get that. Like the first of the
semester Pelican I got it was only guys from Louisiana.
It is a Louisiana thing, so it might be. I
don't know what it short for, but it makes sense.
If it is, it's a big win for you hold
out your pal. That's a big, big win for you.
Let's see short for no. I don't think so. Yeah,
Peral Pelgram, there wasn't nothing to do with Pelicans. You
just didn't You just didn't apply for it. Uh, Anthony
wils know, why does Matt know about the Starring Motel?
A couple of reasons. One because it's in the middle
of town and you drive by. I know because we
used to have a buddy who lived in a neighborhood
pretty close to that, and I just remember seeing it.
But I do remember. I think it was the equipment
managers one year, not when we were playing. This is
a handful of years ago. Uh, they were playing fantasy football,
and you every year there's you know, if you're in
an early if you're it's a punishment. There's a fun league.
I've done a punishment where like the loser had to
go take the act, or the loser had to had
to had to adopt a cat for a year, or
like just something like super random. Well then this league, Yeah,
there's it. You got adopted cat in this In that league,
the loser had to stay one night at the Starring Hotel. Yeah,
I don't know how it went.
Speaker 3: It could have been like that, right, I mean is
that a I know where?
Speaker 4: Is it a per hour or per night? I would
assume per thirty minutes. You can get down for the
half hour. All right? On that note, so we don't
have to explain that one. We'll go to break and
get this show started when we come.

Speaker 4: Wow, I have a reputation. Yeah, I got a rep

Speaker 5: Even swung a bat in at least ten years, No,
I guess nine. But I was there and they were
saying that if you bring in any competitor's bat, yeah,
you can trade it in for forty percent off.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's a great deal. They've been doing that
deal for watching.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, forty percent off and then if it's a
Marucci bat's twenty percent off.
Speaker 6: But that's are expensive.
Speaker 4: Or you can get forty percent off of you take
any competitive because they want you to get away from
the competitor. It's smart you get the.
Speaker 6: Aluminum or composite.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I can't imagine how expensive they are now. I didn't
look at any prices.
Speaker 3: But about I'd say at least twenty five to thirty bucks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, way somebody who has to buy bats every year, Yeah,
they are hundreds of dollars. It's at least twenty five Yeah, yeah,
for sure, as long as look to that to have
been like that too, like when you were playing, when
I was playing, all.
Speaker 6: Of us, So I'm saying they're probably more expensive now.
Speaker 4: I remember getting my first big barrel bat when I
was a kid for for Christmas. That was like my
big gift was the big bro going because that was
the year that we stepped up from the regular barrels
the big barrels. That was a big deal. That was
a big for sure.
Speaker 5: Was But you know what, me and uh Trey, I
guess he's the manager over there. We were talking about
hunt and doing the hole in one thing and we
were like we could probably do that with home run,
like keep taking hacks until you hit a home run,
which I feel like is not as.
Speaker 4: Hard as we'd be like all right, thank you for
coming out, God bless you, good night, you know, and
then that'd be the show like sorry, we're dogs, so sorry,
we're dogs, sorry about it? We could do it from.
Speaker 6: What about homes True, I wouldn't help went out of there,
not with that attitude. That's fair. I'm stronger than I
was in high school.
Speaker 4: I I did when we were I was like fifteen sixteen,
and I was like baseball all the time though, like
we took VP there, but as a forty year old nah,
I don't know, though I've always want to do Johnson
invited us to come do it. I always want to
do home run Derby at ALC Box.
Speaker 6: Okay, we'll want to be home run Derby.
Speaker 4: I want to see if I can get over the fence.
Let's get it done. I mean, how far get over
fancuse me? Like that's the problem though, like they it'd
be like all jokes, Oh yeah, yeah, come on play
it'd be fun. And then like I'm out there breaking
lights and stuff right like the natural. Then they got
to change it. Then at that point, it's like a
twenty five thousand dollars trip we just made.
Speaker 6: True.
Speaker 3: They're gonna be like, guys, we can't play at night
this weekend. Map broke all the light.

Speaker 4: It's not a big deal. So nobody played baseball for
the Packers. It was softball, sir, that either whoever was
pitching to really not pitting two or three in the
game too. Nick Barnell, I don't remember seeing that. During
the celebrity sort of celebrity softball game, I almost took
Bain's head off at third base. That's sure. You almost did.

Speaker 9: A couple of little news and nuggets for LSU football.
Monsour de Layne named a finalist for the Thorpe Award,
which goes to the nation's best defensive back.
Speaker 4: Very well deserved. Now will he win? You never know.
These awards are typically like a year after for a
lot of guys, like they had monster years a year
before they get on the list and then they're able
to win it the next year. He is up against
Leonard Moore from a Notre Dame and also Caleb Downs
from Ohio State. Now, both those players are incredible football players.
I'm a huge fan of Monsour. Like what he's been
able to do this year. It's basically been there's a
portion of the field that quarterbacks don't even look and
then once they actually do decide to try to test
mons Or he's either had a PBu Art interception, so
like he's taken away a portion of the football field.
He is somebody that has completely raised his level of
play since he got to LSU. Right, good player at
Virginia Tech, third team All SEC. But now he gets here.
You knew the talent was there. Works with Corey Raymond
and he is a first team All American. So incredible
season four on tour and I would love to see
him win the Thorpe. Now you're going to get the
guy that plays for Notre Dame and a guy that
plays for Ohio State that's going to be, as we
all know, pretty tough to overcome. But still, even if
he doesn't win the award, an incredible honor for Delane
to be able to be a finalist for the Thorpe. Yeah,
what a What a difference a year can make, What
a difference a coach can make. And it just goes
to show you too, like that these this like time
of life for these kids, young men, What a difference
one year, Like one person, it might be the jump
from seventeen eighteen year old, another kid, it might be
twenty to twenty one. You just don't know when, like
you're going to come into your peak or you're like
you're gonna find that rhythm in yourself. So what a
difference that you're going to Like you said, third team
all acc to now being on the Thorpe Award finalist list,
But look at the the award is a voters award.
So the voters all over the country, they're not getting
you know, month's or delayed news every day like our
fans are. So it's like, sure, said, that's why it's
kind of the popularity contest from the year before. And
I'm not saying that's even Marvin Harrison junior great football
player when he won the Blittanikoff over the league neighbors.
That was decided well before the award was actually voted on.
And I'm not saying that's like the wrong way. That's
just that's just the reality. I mean, I'm not saying
that's right or.
Speaker 9: Wrong or what you'r The year Delpit won the Thorpe,
he had a better year of the year before than
when he actually won it.
Speaker 4: When it's not just L s U bias. Yeah, I
mean I thought that Delpit deserved it the year before
he actually won it. Yep. But what he's done on
the football field this year has been phenomenal. The of course, LS.
The strength of the team has been the defense, and
the strength of the defense has been the secondary. That
is that's just that's factual. That's you can watch this,
you can turn on the film. You can see that
group who is made of primarily incoming transfers. What he
has done and what those other guys in that secondary
done is really like the like a shining light for
what this whole transfer portal in this new age of
callich football has kind of brought about. Those are like
the positive stories that come out of of all the
negative and all the you know which it was back
in my day type situation. These are the really one
of the positive stories that comes a guy can go
get a fresh start, go get a fresh coach, like
when he's coming into his and like really boost his
go from I don't know what you know, third team
All acc Team player a year ago. I mean, you
might be looking at a third, fourth, fifth, sixth round
I don't know what it would be, but now you're
going to a surefire first round pick here. Oh yeah,
and maybe a top ten to fifteen pick. It depends
on the you know, team's needs and everything. So is
he deserving of the award? Absolutely? Will he win the award?
I have no idea. I mean I heard I think
I heard Hunt talking about it yesterday. Some different stats.
I think only two passes completed on him for first
downs this year, which is a phenomenal stat. He doesn't
have the interceptions and like some of the stats that
because they just don't throw it to him, and that's
actually a really no stats are great stats for cornerbacks.
That just means people aren't targeting them, and when they
do target it's usually it's usually a mistake. So proud
of him, Proud of that work. The entire secondary had
done of all the things that have like encompassed what
we talk about fighting, playing, gritty, playing and straining as
a football player at all times during the game, no
matter the circumstance, no matter the down and distance, no
matter the score, that secondary unit has done it. And
this guy has played an elite level and he will
be you know, my prediction before the year was that
Aaron Anderson would be the highest drafted guy on this team.
Well it's now kind of shifted over to this guy.
How long he's any question about that? And it's a
great point you make about the portal because there's a
lot of things that a lot of people don't like
about the transfer portal because you know, guardrails know whatever.
We understand that. But Monsieur de Laine.
Speaker 9: Ninety one grade on Pro Football Focus and as a dog.
Aj Hall see eighty four on Pro Football Focus and
is a dog. Okay, you got to Marcus Cooley as well.
Speaker 4: He's in the high sixties, so not as high as
those guys, but you watch Timarcus Cooley. M hm, he
got some dog in him. Just all effort, man, all skill,
of course, but it's all effort. And it's that strain.
Like that word and I think Frank said it when
he first took over, we will strain, and that word
just resonated with me. Yeah, because it's a great descriptive
term of how you have to play the game and
attack life like that, like you got to strain, you
gotta wright for it. And that's just such a and
they and they epitomize that that secondary.
Speaker 9: They absolutely do great job getting those guys in LSU uniforms.
Unfortunately you only get Delaye in Halsey for one year,
but still it was a great year for them. Shout
out to Corey Raymond, man, Yeah, shout out to Corey
Raymond and Jingleson and that defensive back.
Speaker 4: To the godfather of DBU. It just keeps doing it, man.
So I mean, the job that Corey Raymond's done with
montsour Delaine and then the job goals is done with
aj Hawsey and Tamarcus Cooler. Sure, and we didn't know
what and I know we're talking about transfers. We didn't
even really get into on Monday. Uh, talking about DJ
Pickett and his performance this past week. Yeah, we on
the radio and broadcast, we gave him the player of
the game. Yeah, it was like fantastic six tackles, TfL, sack, interception,
true freshman who might not have even known he was
gonna play as much in the game. Because Monsieur de
Laine was warming up trying to see if he'd give
it a go. They decided, hey, we're gonna we're gonna
need you. We're gonna need you next week. And so
you know, he doesn't end up playing in the game.
And so DJ's out there the entire game as a
true freshman. And I said on the broadcast, he is
in line to be the next all time great one
type of guy that we put up there with some
of the other top corners that have played, you know,
the most Clayburn's, Tredavious White, Patrick Peterson. I think he
is in the inline for that, for sure. He's got
he Uh he passed the eyeball test too, for sure.
He's he looks apart and plays the part the gracious.
But the first day we went to training, Huck was
there and we're and he walked by. You're like, who's
that alien? That guy like he plays corner like Richard Sherman,
but like way more athletic. Yeah, And I know everybody
loves you right now and I'm talking. I want to
talk to you, mister Lane Kiffin. I know you're listening.
If you're coming down here to coach this team, you
better keep Corey Raymond. Oh yeah, I don't know. You
better do it. Don't don't make that mistake again, don't
make that. Don't ma, don't think. Don't do what Brian
Kelly did and like, find the biggest, baddest guy in
the yard, go fight him the first day. Yeah, that's
his great point. That's like a great example. That's like
that my my like for fire and Tommy, I'm off
that was my biggest He's like, when you go to prison,
you find the biggest guy in the yard, you go
fight him. Well, you find the biggest guy on the own,
you just go fire him. Yeah, prove a point. Yeah, Yeah,
don't do that. Yeah, don't do that. All right, we'll

for sure, and I know you're dying to do it, Bud,
So let's get it out of your system.
Speaker 5: Okay, six sec.
Speaker 4: Taylor, look up Hunter Yurachek last night. I think if
anything can stop the six seven movement, it is the
chair of the playoff Committee and the Arkansas Athletic Director.
Y'all didn't see this last night?
Speaker 6: I'm already was it.
Speaker 4: ADM. Duvall is actually like kind of funny. This is
not funny, Like I don't hate that. You're gonna you're
gonna see this video and if anything can end this
six seven stuff, it's this video.
Speaker 6: Wait, did y'all see the Jamior Gibbs one?
Speaker 4: I did not?
Speaker 6: Or he accidentally was like, we got what six seven
more games to play? And he started laughing at himself.
Speaker 9: I know it's like those are those are numbers of
people use all the time. I don't know, we got
like six or seven of home I don't know. You know,
it's like kind of the go to number. Is that
why it's the thing?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know. I mean, they explain
it it. I think it's has something to do with
LaMelo ball?
Speaker 6: Does it does that to do with LaMelo ball? Don't
know either. Nobody knows what it means.
Speaker 4: They know he knows what it means. It means so
so or whatever he's talking to Rhys Davis. If if
it makes you find it a little bit easier, maybe
I'm gonna remind the people about trash Rangers and trash
rangers dot com. Well Taylor is looking for I want
to talk about trash Well trash rangers dot com residential
commercial service roll loof dumpsters, three different sizes to choose from.
And remember, if your normal pickup day is Thursday, it's
gonna be Friday this week. And if it's Friday, it's
gonna be Saturday this week. And so you know, go
ahead and check that out right through the homepage of
trash rangers dot com. All right, If anything is going
to end the six to seven movement, it is this
video that I thought was AI when I first saw it.
Change at six.
Speaker 2: Seven with Oregon and Old Miss swapping spots. How much
of an impact potentially could it be on Old Miss
if it's determined they don't have their head coach in
the field now six seven?
Speaker 4: No, yeah, but here's the rich we.
Speaker 3: Did channel read that he was an awkward thing I've seen.
Speaker 4: Called ree Rich. He said six yeah. If that doesn't
end it that with an awkward smirk and the awkward pause.
Speaker 6: You can see the smirk. While Reese was talking, he
was ready, yeah.
Speaker 4: Uh so what from a scale one to ten? What
do you rank that? Six seven? Huck negitive one? But
Drillian whoa.
Speaker 5: Who?
Speaker 4: Hopefully that makes us never want to do it again.
Speaker 3: Tell you what I got, Chris? He hit a six
to seven? Did he on the basketball broadcast last week?
Speaker 4: Nice? He did? Nice? If Hunter your check didn't just
end it, nothing's going to end it. That was, Oh
my gosh, who's this guy? Arkansas's athletic director and he's
now the head of the playoff committee because it was
Baylor's a D. But he just did like one two
as well? Yeah, you got juggle, you got juggling Rich?
Six seven?
Speaker 3: Well, anyways, Rich, how do you call Rees Davis rich?
Speaker 7: He was so locked in on six seven he was like,
I'm not worried about anything else.
Speaker 4: And also, why is the head of the playoff committee
ad that is in the middle of a coaching search, right, Jake?
Speaker 3: Have you not say the videos he took.
Speaker 6: His hat off that you don't have coach and you're joking.
Speaker 3: They leave their hats at the door.
Speaker 9: Guys you don't know about like saying Joe shouldn't you
be worried about something else, like finding your next head coach.
Speaker 4: You can't do that for twenty four hours a day.
You can take your hat off and you can vote
on a playoff voting that doesn't even matter right now
for a little bit. Goh wow, six seven, Rich, back
to you in studio. Rich, I need to I actually
think Reese is coming on off games today. I need
to ask him just do an awkward six seven Hey.
Speaker 7: When he doesn't look at him, He's like, I am
lucked in. He's like, Rich is not going to see
this coming.
Speaker 4: Look at Reese's I'm might be the first person to
break Rich right here on camera. How Reese Davis has
been doing this for like thirty years and this man
called him Rich. That sounds like something he pulled to me,
something I would do. I'm not gonna hate on someone
for mispronouncing something. I could promise you that I'll laugh
at it, but I'll laugh at myself too. So it's dead.
People in the chat saying yep, that killed it. It's over.
It has to my god, that was bad. All right? Well,
I don't even remember what I was going to talk
about after that. I had to had to share that
with the rest of y'all. If I had to go
through the cringe, so did y'all. Guess what, I'll scale
it one to ten. He got negative one hundred bajillion.

Speaker 1: Two thousand and seven Champs, Purple and Gold to the core.
This is Off the Bench with Hester and Flynn Baton,
Rouge's go to for all things Louisiana sports.
Speaker 8: Maybe I don't know why you're treating me so much.
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in OTB here live from the
Raizy Kaines studio. Yesterday we talked about the New Orleans
Saints working out a couple of kickers. Just Ston Tucker
was one of them, Kaid York was the other, and well,
the Saints have made a decision. The Saints are going
to sign former LSU All American Cade York. Let's go
what on Saints made. You made a decent move there.
Speaker 6: That's the right decision.
Speaker 4: Yes, uh, that is decision, which is weird that they
made that right like they never made that. I know
it feels weird, but I saw it.
Speaker 7: I was like, uh uh, what happened? Put up with
cad some we don't know? In no way, the Saints
like did their homework and did this.
Speaker 4: So yeah, the right thing. So obviously, okay, they hosted
York and Justin Tucker for tryouts, and York, who was
a fourth round pick in twenty twenty two, wins the
job there. So Blake Groopie he gets released. That had
to happen. You can't miss the kicks that he missed, obviously,
and so now you've got a couple of kickers. Because
the Saints still have International Player Program participant Charlie Smith
on his practice squad as well, but the signing of
York would probably indicate he's going to be the guy.
He's going to be the guy that gets the opportunity
ahead of their Week thirteen matchup with the Miami. Explain
that again, international what player program participant? So I've never
heard of this.
Speaker 9: There's a lot of teams that have different international players,
and it's a program.
Speaker 4: They try to bring people in from.
Speaker 9: Uh most of the time it's Europe and they try
to bring him in, give him an opportunity.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of players, a lot of what he
has a program for you. Yeah, the NFL has one. Yeah,
is every team like they have to carry? I think
if every team has to do it, I'll double check.
Just now. I've never I've literally never heard of this.
I would think there'd be some Australians there too, especially
from the kicking standpoint. It seems like there's always some
Australian punters out there. But yeah, like I said, there's
a ton of rugby influence here as well. So interesting. Well, sorry,
Kad you works got that LSU influence. Sorry Europe. Wow,
he's hitting on the Sorry it's America the whole place. Huh. Yeah,
I mean, kid's like if you if it wasn't gonna
be k when you just elevate Smith to is.
Speaker 3: He like bad or something? He's been on this team
for two years.
Speaker 7: They were having a kicker battle bringing in somebody off
the street like it, Charlie Smith not good.
Speaker 4: Sounds like the Saints are just checking a box and
if he's not good. Yeah, they're just checking. It must
be a requirement to carry one of these.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean to your point, it kind of has
to be right. What he might be like, why does
he not play?
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know, like what the rules of the p
grandmar I just I know he's from Ireland and he's
been on the team for a while and Ireland. Uh.
Some of the like the scouting report that was awful
that some of the scouting report is that he can
vomit like long field goals, but struggles with the intermediate stuff.
Speaker 3: So all right, well Grooby struggled with both.
Speaker 4: True. Well, he didn't even attempt the long ones. They
knew better than that. He didn't even mention the short ones,
like he said, intermediate ones. He struggles with short ones. Yeah,
he was not a short ging either. He didn't get
that title. Didn't get that last part. A nice guy, yeah,
just a nice guy. We don't hate on hype over here.
We're talking about professional football players. What's that short king?
He just was in the king part? All right.
Speaker 9: When we come back, doctor Stephen Etheridz joins us here
