Speaker 6: Yeah, I know.

15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,439
Speaker 3: I'm ready for the weekend already. It's like we weren't

16
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,560
here Monday. I was off the last three days of

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,479
the week before, and whenever I come back, it just

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,799
seems like it's busier than when.

19
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 6: I left, which is uh, which is insane.

20
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,399
Speaker 3: Okay, So yesterday, we know we started the show with

21
00:00:56,679 --> 00:00:59,880
Jordan's wardrobe mouthfunction. We all had a we ought to

22
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,960
go would laugh about it, and you know that's what

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,040
we do on OTV. We get to the bottom of things,

24
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,480
whether Jordan's wardrobe malfunction was intentional or not intentional. We

25
00:01:07,519 --> 00:01:10,799
grilled him a little bit yesterday morning when Jake was

26
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:13,680
here before I went on vacation, we talked about the

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,719
guy who took a dump in the Guarantee parking lot.

28
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 6: We wound up getting behind that as well.

29
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:20,799
Speaker 7: Brittany had to let me know that I walked right past. Yeah,

30
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:21,519
I didn't even know that.

31
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 6: You saw it on the security camera.

32
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: But today we have another case dissolve and this involves

33
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,519
our Jordan Kitchens. This is the car Key Caper case

34
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,439
and a Lauandra is actually indirectly involved in this story.

35
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:38,799
Speaker 6: She just doesn't know it yet. Jordan.

36
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,599
Speaker 2: Oh no, she knows. Okay, we had a whole Okay, no,

37
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,040
we had a whole. Uh you want to call it?

38
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:46,599
Speaker 6: Tell us what happened?

39
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:49,319
Speaker 3: Because you normally leave here like one thirty, because of

40
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:52,000
hitting of them are done it like once you're one thirty,

41
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,519
two o'clock. Yes, dude, it's three thirty, I'm leaving. You

42
00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:57,840
were still sitting in your car in the rain. Okay,

43
00:01:58,159 --> 00:01:59,719
give us a little what happened?

44
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, let me just let me just preface

45
00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:05,079
this for everybody. Get a little bit to know a

46
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:08,280
little about me. I am a very meticulous person. Everything

47
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:10,439
I do makes sense. So I'm not the type of

48
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:13,159
person that I'm not. No, no, no, I'm not a

49
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:15,599
type of person where I'm like forgetting my keys or

50
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,719
leaving my wallet, especially because I have to travel for work,

51
00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:21,800
so before I leave, I make sure I have everything

52
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:24,800
ready to go. That's that's numal un no number one.

53
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:26,520
So you know how to come in early for OTB yesterday.

54
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,199
So I guess I was just a little groggy or

55
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,360
whatever and just didn't hear my keys fall in the grass.

56
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,280
That's what it was. Because they fell in the grass.

57
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,919
They didn't fall it. If it hit the concrete, you know,

58
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,919
it probably made a noise. And oh you know I

59
00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:38,639
dropped my keys or whatever. So you know, when hit

60
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,759
the grass silent like like a Native American walking on

61
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:46,319
leaves silent. So next thing, you know, I just I'm.

62
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: Ready to leave.

63
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 7: You know, I finished uploading live at lunch. I'll tap in.

64
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,639
I finish uploading live for lunch, and I and I'm

65
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:52,960
ready to get up out of here. And I hit

66
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,280
my pockets and I wear cargo pants and I keep

67
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,599
everything in my cargo pants. Pockets I'm hit my pockets.

68
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,879
I'm like, my wallet's here, where are my keys? So

69
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,560
red flag? Where are my keys? That's the US didn't happen.

70
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:07,280
I'll be checking it in my bag, not in my bag.

71
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,919
So I'm like, okay, cool, let me go. Because it's

72
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,800
only a certain amount of areas I went that morning

73
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:15,719
here my studio and for the meeting that you know,

74
00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:18,319
on the fourth floor. So I hit all those spots

75
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:20,960
nowhere to be found. And so I remember, I will

76
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,639
go out there by you and I'm like just ripping

77
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,080
the deaths up and I'm like, dude.

78
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 6: You were frantic.

79
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, cause it's like, well, my keys are going. I

80
00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:31,599
live in New Orleans.

81
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 7: We just stay the night on the counch man, please listen.

82
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:37,319
So I'm just I just cannot believe. I don't know

83
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:38,879
what my keys are. So I'm just looking around, looking around,

84
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:41,439
looking around. So I'll go outside where my car is,

85
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,840
and you know, they're doing a construction by the church,

86
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,080
and you know the construction guy he's sitting. You know,

87
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:48,280
it's a black guy. They were like smoking the Jael.

88
00:03:48,759 --> 00:03:52,319
He's like, uh yeah, you're smoking the Joe. Real cool.

89
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:55,479

00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,639
Speaker 2: Weird. So I'm like, you know, trying to see if

00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,400
they stole something anything. Nothing.

94
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 7: They didn't even touch the inside of my car, which

95
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:07,319
is weird. I ain't gonna say too much. I got

96
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,719
items in there that you know, if you wanted to

97
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:12,199

98
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,520

00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,959
tripping because the stories or was like, yeah, lady's looking.

113
00:04:57,759 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: For your keys.

114
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 7: She went over there, she gave your keys over there.

115
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:01,759
So I go to our you know, I go back

116
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:04,439
across the street to guarantee. I go in there. I

117
00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:06,800
go to Lady Jag matter of fact, because I'm like, well,

118
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,680
if anybody were gonna turn something in, she's gonna be

119
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,720
the first one with it. So I go to her

120
00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:12,279
and I'm like, Lady Jack, you know, I'm looking at

121
00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:14,959
anybody turns some keys in. She pulls out like a

122
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,360
Janitor ring of keys, like, yeah, somebody turned these in.

123
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, what I'm gonna do with Janitor keys?

124
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:21,600
These ain't These ain't my keys.

125
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 7: And so I'm like talking to myself going to the elevator,

126
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,639
and I hear Landja in the office. She's like, uh,

127
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:29,800
She's like, are you good? What's going on? I'm like, dude,

128
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,839
I don't know what my keys are. Like, somebody stole

129
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,879
my keys. Go back upstairs. I'm like, Taylor, they're gone.

130
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,519
Somebody stole them. It's like, bro, nobody stole your keys? Manbody,

131
00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:38,160
what are you talking about?

132
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,759
Speaker 3: Because Jordan, when I was trying to explain to you, dude,

133
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,680
no one stole your keys. If your car is still here,

134
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,600
was still to steal keys, you would have to take

135
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,000
the vehicle exactly.

136
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: So that's why I was so irate a little bit.

137
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,199
Speaker 7: It's because so you take my you take the keys, lady,

138
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:56,279
you don't take nothing out of the car. I think

139
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,040
in my mind she was waiting till you know, like

140
00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:00,519
eight nine o'clock, come back around car. I'm still there.

141
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,879
Now I'm about to get up in that thing. I'm

142
00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:04,839
out of there. So I'm like losing my mind at

143
00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:08,920
this point because they talking about that. Like I said,

144
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:10,759
the description is this little black lady which the keys.

145
00:06:10,759 --> 00:06:13,160
She came to the office, so Elanza tells me, like,

146
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:15,040
oh no, she did come over there. So the stories

147
00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,920
now the stories make sense. She did go there, but

148
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,319
she didn't give up my keys.

149
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 5: She's been super weird thou.

150
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 6: So, so that's the thing.

151
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: Like she she took the time to go to the

152
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:25,160
church as if it belonged to them in there, yes,

153
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:27,839
and then they said, hey, it probably belongs across the street.

154
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:29,879
Speaker 6: She comes in there, but then just leaves with the.

155
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: Keys, leaves with the key, don't even leave a name.

156
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 3: So why the hell did she waste her time walking

157
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,079
to two different buildings?

158
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 2: Nicely?

159
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 7: Why I'm pissed? Well, I can't know what I said

160
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,480
on on the RADI yeah, and I see why I

161
00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:41,439
was mad. It's because, like, so, you didn't leave a

162
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,519
name a number, like, okay, well if he does show up,

163
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,360
here's how you can get in contact with me, here's whatever.

164
00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:49,279
So she didn't get the keys up, but she did

165
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:51,319
come over here, you know, be like, all right, somebody

166
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,040
lost their keys. So this is so, this is some

167
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,759
random lady with my keys, right, And at this point

168
00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,519
you didn't even know about this. Taylor saw.

169
00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:02,319
Speaker 2: I see a black lady with some red keys. You know,

170
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,000
my keys. I have like a little red Nike tag

171
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:05,560
on my keys.

172
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:06,439
Speaker 7: Oh.

173
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: I ran at her, ran up full sprint.

174
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,759
Speaker 3: She's like, oh my god, what else do you do?

175
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: A man? At that point I ran, I'm like, oh

176
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,560
my du are my keys? Those are my keys?

177
00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 7: Find out the red thing or her keys was like

178
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,600
a bottle opener or something like that. So it wasn't

179
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,680
even because it wasn't even that. And then so I'm like,

180
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,199
I'm just extremely iron and this it's scary because there

181
00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:31,399
is this lady lurking around in this area with the

182
00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:35,199
extra key to my car, just waiting, just waiting, Like

183
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,720
I can't even park back there no more because I

184
00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:38,720
just know once she might just come back around and

185
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:39,439
go hoping that thing.

186
00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: So, to make.

187
00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 7: A long story short, my sister had to come through,

188
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,560
bring me the extra uh, bring me the extra key.

189
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,079
You know, so very grateful to have people in your

190
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,360
life that can sit there and do that for you.

191
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:55,319
But in the moment, especially once when Elijah came with

192
00:07:55,399 --> 00:07:57,279
her side of the story about Leno, like this lady

193
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,240
does exist. She did pull up, but she didn't give

194
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:02,639
up the keys. That just made it worse because it's like,

195
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,199
what logical sense does.

196
00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 6: That make, Jordan.

197
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: I'm not saying then I hope this happens. All I'm

198
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:09,680
saying is it would be funny. You walk out there

199
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,759
and you're like, yep, she came back vehicle gone.

200
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 7: Oh no, oh see I parked in front of the

201
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:16,079
station today. Oh come try these cameras. Oh we waiting

202
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,079
on you, We waiting on you, were waiting on you.

203
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:21,959
Speaker 3: Hey, the cameras have already caught someone in. We got

204
00:08:21,959 --> 00:08:25,680
her too. Okay, but do you feel a little bit

205
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,720
better at least because yesterday you were running around frantic saying,

206
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,759
I don't know who somebody stole my keys. They were

207
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,200
right here in my pocket them.

208
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:35,399
Speaker 6: Okay.

209
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,519
Speaker 3: But I was like, Jordan, like nobody reached into your

210
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,240
pocket without you noticing, pulling out the keys, leaving the

211
00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:43,799
wallet and all of that. Like, and I have you know,

212
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,120
I went on a little wild goose chase for you.

213
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,519
Speaker 6: I went in all these studios behind you.

214
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:51,759
Speaker 3: I went into the podcast studio, the brand new one.

215
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 6: I tell you what. I even did.

216
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,799
Speaker 3: I even shine my light in that little hole in

217
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,200
the floor in the second floor studiocause I was like, oh,

218
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,240
if they fell out of his pocket, maybe they've fell

219
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:00,600
in there.

220
00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 6: Nothing.

221
00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:03,879
Speaker 7: But I knew you was doing that because you saw me.

222
00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:04,960
I was talking to one of the guys.

223
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 6: Because I was about to leave, and I'm like, that's raining.

224
00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:10,240
I was like, can I hold off anyway? I ain't

225
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,240
getting no nelsony.

226
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 7: About to say the little dude that I was talking to,

227
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,600
That's why when we turned around and looked at you

228
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:15,559
in the stairwell, He's.

229
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 2: Like, you know that guy.

230
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:17,879
Speaker 7: Oh my yead, that's my boy tailor he looking for

231
00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:19,399
my keys. I just knew you was looking for him.

232
00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:22,080
But now, like I said, I just appreciate the effort.

233
00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:25,440
You know, people, even though this lady's walking around and honestly,

234
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,039
I'll be honest with you guys right now, if I

235
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,840
do see her, she's getting RKO like Randy Orton Prime,

236
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:31,600
Randy Ordon arc.

237
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,399
Speaker 6: So what you say it is if you don't chow

238
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,399
up tomorrow and I have to do live at launch

239
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,279
it just because you are in jail. He actually, we

240
00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:41,440
don't know if she's old.

241
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 7: I'm about to say this is retaliation, all right? Are

242
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,799
You're just not gonna just run off of my keys

243
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,679
and act like, oh, you know, I tried to give

244
00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:50,320
him away. I tried to give him back. You didn't

245
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,360
try to do anything, lady.

246
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,159
Speaker 5: She really didn't.

247
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 4: Exactly, she really did not like she was being super weird.

248
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,279
She I was walking by the door and she like

249
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,639

250
00:10:02,759 --> 00:10:05,320

251
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:10,240

00:10:36,759 --> 00:10:38,360
I was like, well, what is it? And she's like, well,

264
00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 6: Here, that's weird, weird, Jordan.

265
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,879
Speaker 3: We have to find like, you need one of those checking.

266
00:10:47,039 --> 00:10:48,399
I want to know where the hell your keys are?

267
00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:50,360
Does she still have them? Did she just go turn

268
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:51,039
them into b RP?

269
00:10:52,039 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: Literally walking around?

270
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,639
Speaker 7: I swear, I know this lady is waiting for me

271
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,279
to go park back there again. And while I'm in here,

272
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,440
she's gonna go I I told you, I have every

273
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,879
construction guy over there. They don't stand by. They're like, hey, man,

274
00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:06,720
we see your keys were getting there?

275
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 3: Like no, honestly, ready, in a situation like this, structured

276
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,240
workers are really good people.

277
00:11:12,039 --> 00:11:12,759
Speaker 2: They were super chick.

278
00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 6: Don't play around.

279
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 2: Oh, they don't play.

280
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 7: They don't play especially because there was like, that's on me, man,

281
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,559
I should have made her give us the keys man

282
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,159
because she did come in there and ask about the

283
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,799
keys man and matter of fact, she was acting weird.

284
00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:24,399
And that's when Elijah said the same thing that she

285
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,000
was acting weird. So that's why all the stories added up.

286
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:30,000
It wasn't like I got this sword this story over here.

287
00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:32,039
I got this story over here. Know, everybody had the

288
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:36,320
same exact story about this lady. Honestly, Elija, be honest,

289
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:37,919
she probably wanted some type of money reward.

290
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: That's why her. Yeah, She's like, oh that's why. Yeah. Man,

291
00:11:43,919 --> 00:11:46,200
So it is what it is.

292
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:46,399
Speaker 1: Man.

293
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 7: Just you just all you gotta do is just be

294
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,639
grateful you have people in your life that can help

295
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:51,600
you out in a time of need.

296
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:51,799
Speaker 8: Well.

297
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,799
Speaker 6: I appreciate that wild start to the show.

298
00:11:53,879 --> 00:11:55,279
Speaker 3: I am still trying to figure out what the hell's

299
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,039
going on with these crowns and numbers in the YouTube chat.

300
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,440
I have never seen it before my life. Brian Burgess

301
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,000
is number one. You got a handful of twos, a

302
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,919
handful of threes. Daniel Basham and Daniel Blunt have nothing

303
00:12:06,919 --> 00:12:09,320
next to their names, which is really funny because they're

304
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,159
probably in here the most. I don't know what these

305
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,840
crowns mean. Trying to do some digging, trying to search,

306
00:12:14,879 --> 00:12:17,720
try to figure out what it is. I don't know, Jordan,

307
00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:20,639
I emailed you a picture before the show. Yes, we're

308
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,720
about to go to break but before we do, I

309
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:24,679
gotta give a little birthday shout out.

310
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,039
Speaker 6: Guys, my best is.

311
00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:29,399
Speaker 3: But of course I'm talking about my main guy, Frankie

312
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,360
right here, two years old today.

313
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,799
Speaker 6: Okay, the Australian.

00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,519
talk a little LSU football. Well, Brian Kelly audio. A

318
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,840
little bit later on in the show, Jake interviewed him yesterday.

319
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,320
He sent that back, but LSU Wire put out something

320
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,000
interesting about ranking every SEC offensive line. LSU pretty high

321
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,840
on that list. We'll break that down next here on

322
00:12:56,879 --> 00:12:57,399
Off the Bench.

323
00:12:58,279 --> 00:12:59,279

345
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 6: Right, welcome back.

346
00:14:24,799 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: In Thursday edition of Off the Bench, Taylor Trump here

347
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,879
with you, filling in for Jacob Hesser almost said two

348
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:32,759
over two.

349
00:14:34,519 --> 00:14:37,159
Speaker 6: Dead to me. Saw him yesterday. He actually he actually

350
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,440
gave me a little gift.

351
00:14:38,559 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: Uh here.

352
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: We'll get into this a little bit later. It's uh

353
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,039
something he just gave me on the way out. He's

354
00:14:45,039 --> 00:14:46,720
cleaning out stuff. We'll get into it a little bit later.

355
00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't even see you walk in with that.

356
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,159
Speaker 6: I had it at the desk. I left. I just

357
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,080
left it here. Oh it was just it was sitting

358
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,559
at the desk. Anyways.

359
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: Will Rosenblade of l s U Wire yesterday decided he

360
00:14:59,039 --> 00:15:01,320
was going to rank every op offensive line in the SEC,

361
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,960
and he preferences this by saying, I have considered returning production,

362
00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:08,320
talent level, and coaching to try and assess which units

363
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,080
are in the best position entering twenty twenty five. Now

364
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,039
we ranked all sixteen in the conference. I'm not going

365
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,000
to get into all of them, but at number six overall,

366
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,039
he's the LSU typees and you know that's a big

367
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,480
question mark. Probably the biggest question mark on this team

368
00:15:22,919 --> 00:15:25,720
heading into this season is the offensive line, and he

369
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,879
has them six out of sixteen SEC teams. He does

370
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,840
mention that they're one of the tougher teams to rank

371
00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:35,360
on this list because they lost four NFL draft picks.

372
00:15:36,039 --> 00:15:38,720
But I wanted to kind of look at what you

373
00:15:38,799 --> 00:15:41,440
lost what you return as far as guys that were

374
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,080
on the roster last year, which freshmen are coming in,

375
00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:48,799
and the transfers that you added is six too high

376
00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:52,720
for LSU. There's talent, but a lot of it is unproven.

377
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,399
Here's what you lost, Will Campbell, Garrett Dellinger, Miles Frasier,

378
00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:59,519
Emrie Jones. All four multi year starters on your offensive line.

379
00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:04,039
Your two gods and your two tackles. That's a ton

380
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,519
of production, especially with Campbell and Jones, who have been

381
00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:09,720
three year starters in this program essentially since the day

382
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,240
they got on campus. I mean, Will Campbell was a

383
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,639
day one starter. Jones not a day one, but I

384
00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:17,399
mean what third or fourth game into his freshman year

385
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,120
he grabbed that right tackle spot.

386
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:20,519
Speaker 6: Never let it go for three years.

387
00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:24,159
Speaker 3: So for all purposes, we'll just say full three year

388
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:29,080
starters for both of those guys. Dellinger, Fraser, if you remember,

389
00:16:29,159 --> 00:16:33,679
Fraser came in after playing his first season out in Florida.

390
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,360
He comes in, He's a multi year starter here. Garrett

391
00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:38,080
Dellinger came in as a five star. He was a

392
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,399
three year starter here. I mean, just so much talent

393
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,759
and experience between those four guys, what do you return?

394
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,600
Dj Chester is back. He's the only returning starter from

395
00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:51,320
last year's offensive line. But the word is DJ Chester

396
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,279
might not even play center by all accounts of you

397
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,840
know what the rotation looked like during spring practice. All

398
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,240
the reports coming out of camp was that they'd like

399
00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:03,440
to move him to guard. However, he still cross trained

400
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,440
guard and center. So you have Chester back. He's your

401
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,240
only full time returning starter. Now Paul Mabingo returns to guard.

402
00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:12,519
He played the last four games of the season. If

403
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:15,960
you remember, Dellinger goes down in the A and M game,

404
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,559
Mabinga slides in. Then he plays Alabama Vanderbilt Oklahoma, and

405
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:24,640
then of course the bowl game. Mabinga struggled at times, obviously.

406
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,319
I mean, look at Kyle Field in College. Station is

407
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,599
a tough place to be thrown in the fire for

408
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,839
your first game, and he looked bad the first two games.

409
00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:35,720
But if you go look at his PFF grade and

410
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,440
how he graded out as an offensive lineman, every single

411
00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:41,119
game he got a little bit better. I think Paul

412
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,359
Mabinga showed some promise at the end of the year.

413
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,240
You obviously have Tyrie Adams back. He played a good

414
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:50,000
bit at left tackle whenever Campbell needed a breather or

415
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,200
in that Bowl game. Tyri Adams has played a lot

416
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,640
of football for He's played some guard as well. If

417
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,079
you remember before the season, Tyriy Adams went down and

418
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,960
Kelly talked about how big of a blow it was

419
00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:00,960
until he got back, because he said, Tyriy Adams is

420
00:18:01,079 --> 00:18:04,640
essentially our sixth man, whether it's guard or tackle. Tyree

421
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,759
Adams is going to come in. We'll shuffle the offensive

422
00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:09,920
line if we need to. So they clearly like what

423
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,200
they have in a guy like Tyrie Adams. Ye also

424
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,400
overturned bow bored Alawn. He can play guard, he can

425
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,480
play tackle. He was uses your big tight end a

426
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,640
lot last year, so I'm wearing number eighty nine out

427
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:24,000
there a lot. Orie Williams is back Weston Davis, who

428
00:18:24,079 --> 00:18:26,519
was competing for that starting spot at right tackle.

429
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 6: Cohen Ackles.

430
00:18:28,599 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 3: He's a guy that when you signed him, was a

431
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,400
little bit under size, maybe a little bit under recruited,

432
00:18:34,759 --> 00:18:38,000
but they really like his potential in the future as

433
00:18:38,039 --> 00:18:41,480
a possible center on this team. She do have talent

434
00:18:41,559 --> 00:18:44,640
coming back, and just outside of dj Chester, very limited

435
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,799
experience as far as starting goes. Now, you did a

436
00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:51,000
good job in the transfer portal Braylon Moore and Josh Thompson.

437
00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:55,039
Braylon Moore, obviously one of the highest rated offensive lineman

438
00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:58,119
in the transfer portal, was a multi year starter at

439
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,920
center at Virginia Tech. When he came in a lot

440
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,960
of people said, hey, he's the day one starting center.

441
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,240
But if you go back and look at spring practice,

442
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,319
they're making him earn it. DJ Chester was getting first

443
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,759
team reps. Then they would move Chester to guard. Mo

444
00:19:09,839 --> 00:19:13,160
Moreward slide in there to center. I think in a

445
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,480
perfect world and what the coaches would prefer, this is

446
00:19:16,599 --> 00:19:20,279
just entirely my opinion, Braylan Moore would be the starting center.

447
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,039
DJ Chester would take over at one of those two

448
00:19:22,039 --> 00:19:26,839
guard spots because you have the most experienced that way, right,

449
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,079
Because Chester's played a ton. His natural position when he

450
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,160
came to LSU was a guard. Anyways, he kind of

451
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,160
played center out of necessity. Then you have Braylan Moore

452
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,480
who can step in there be a starting center, has

453
00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:39,680
played center at a high level at a power for

454
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,640
program at Virginia Tech. That's really good veteran presence right

455
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,359
there in the middle. Did you bring in Josh Thompson

456
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,359
from Northwestern? You could play guard, he could play tackle.

457
00:19:50,759 --> 00:19:53,359
Most like him at guard, I said a little bit earlier,

458
00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,359
when spring practice was going on, I might prefer him

459
00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,000
at tackle. We'll get into what the starting offensive line

460
00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:01,480
may look like here in a minute. But Braila Moore,

461
00:20:01,559 --> 00:20:04,200
Josh Thompson, both of those guys I expect to start

462
00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:05,519
on this offensive line.

463
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:07,799
Speaker 6: Now, as far as.

464
00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:10,559
Speaker 3: Freshmen go, you brought in two big ones. Solomon Thomas

465
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,480
carryus Current, both highly highly recruited guys. Kerrent reportedly can

466
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,480
play guard or tackle, and then Solomon Thomas just a

467
00:20:17,559 --> 00:20:19,960
big guy right there in the middle. He is likely

468
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,079
a guard at the next level. And then you signed

469
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,519
Tyler Miller as well, who is also a freshman on

470
00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:29,680
this offensive line. So what will the starting rotation on

471
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,279
this offensive line look like. I think Tyree Adams has

472
00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:35,319
locked up the left tackle position, because if you go

473
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,480
back in the spring and you look at the offensive

474
00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:42,400
line rotations, the one constant on that first string offensive

475
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,160
line with Tyree Adams at left tackle, you moved around

476
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,240
her guards a little bit.

477
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,039
Speaker 6: Right tackle has been a battle. We'll get into that

478
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:48,640
in a minute.

479
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,279
Speaker 3: Obviously, Chester and more kind of seeing who's gonna play guard,

480
00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:55,759
who's gonna play center. But Tyree Adams was the was

481
00:20:55,799 --> 00:20:58,160
the constant. He was the steady presence on that offensive

482
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,799
line in the spring. I think Tyrietdams since your left tackle,

483
00:21:00,839 --> 00:21:03,880
no question about it, barring some sort of injury or

484
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,920
something unforeseen before the season starts. Now guard, I would

485
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,440
like to see Paul Mabinga, because again I thought he

486
00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:14,599
improved a lot from his first start to his last

487
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:19,319
start in that Bowl game. But what if it is

488
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,720
DJ Chester. Let's say DJ Chester takes over left guard.

489
00:21:23,079 --> 00:21:25,240
That puts Braylon Moore at center. So now you have

490
00:21:25,279 --> 00:21:27,720
Tyree Adams, who the coaching staff loves, they've seen him play.

491
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,039
DJ Chester's played a ton of football on this team.

492
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,799
Braylan Moore comes in as one of your most experienced

493
00:21:32,839 --> 00:21:39,480
guys transfer or returners at the other guard spot. See

494
00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:41,759
I originally thought it was going to Bembingo on one side,

495
00:21:41,839 --> 00:21:42,559
Chester on the other.

496
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,519
Speaker 6: I'd have been good with that.

497
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: Have Josh Thompson at right tackle because he's played guard

498
00:21:46,759 --> 00:21:50,279
and tackle, but they really really like Weston Davis at

499
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,519
right tackle, and that's a guy that was taking the

500
00:21:53,559 --> 00:21:55,960
majority of the first team reps during spring. Again, I

501
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,000
thought it was going to be Thompson, But let's say

502
00:21:58,039 --> 00:22:01,519
it's Weston Davis at right time tackle. Josh Thompson sides

503
00:22:01,519 --> 00:22:04,079
in their right guard. So from left to right in

504
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,920
this situation, it would be Tyree Adams, dj Chester, Prayland Moore,

505
00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:11,559
Josh Thompson, west and Davis, Paul Mabinga kind of becomes

506
00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:15,119
a swing guard along with the Cohen eckles, along with

507
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,000
the bowboard alone, and then Salomon Thomas Carries, Kerrent Dull

508
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,880
earned their spots as they progress through their college career.

509
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 6: But that's kind of the starting ode line right now.

510
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,319
Speaker 3: The reason I wanted Josh Thompson had right tackles because

511
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,720
west and Davis was a highly recruited guy coming out

512
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,559
of high school hasn't played a ton of college football.

513
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,400
Now a lot will say, Okay, we have an inexperienced

514
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,079
guy at left tackle, you have an inexperienced guy at

515
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,720
right tackles. Sometimes that's a recipe for disaster, sure, but

516
00:22:42,759 --> 00:22:45,000
sometimes it's not. I just mentioned Will Campbell and I

517
00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:47,759
Marie Jones. They both came in. They earned starting spots

518
00:22:47,759 --> 00:22:50,279
at the two tackle spots. As freshmen boom. You had

519
00:22:50,279 --> 00:22:53,000
your book ND Tackles for the next three years. But

520
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,880
how often does that happen? But if this coaching staff

521
00:22:57,079 --> 00:22:59,720
and Brad Davis, who I trust them mentally, thinks that

522
00:22:59,799 --> 00:23:02,039
it's Weston Davis, keep in mind, even though this would

523
00:23:02,039 --> 00:23:03,839
be Davis' first year starting, he's been in the program

524
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,839
multiple years now. You can bring into Josh Thompson and

525
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,039
if things get harry, you can always move Thompson back

526
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:12,480
out to tackle, put in paumbinga guard. But kind of

527
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,079
the lineup you've been seeing is Tyree Adams, d J Chester,

528
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,079
Braylan Moore, Josh Thompson, Weston Davis.

529
00:23:21,079 --> 00:23:22,599
Speaker 6: That's kind of been the group that we've been seeing.

530
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 3: And again that can flip flop because Chester and Moore

531
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,920
can flip flop. Thompson could move out to guard Mabingas

532
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,960
Thomas can move from tackle to guard, and Mabinga could

533
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,799
slide in their guard. Not only did you do a

534
00:23:32,839 --> 00:23:35,960
good job of adding veteran presence with Moore and Thompson,

535
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,279
think you did a good job in high school recruiting.

536
00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:40,160
I mentioned Solomon Thomas and Carrius Kern.

537
00:23:40,279 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 6: You also have some depth.

538
00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 3: Ory Williams is a guy that they like. Cohen Eckles,

539
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,160
we talked about him. I think he'll be the backup center.

540
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,319
Solomon Thomas, Carrius Kern, Paul Mbinga bow bort A line.

541
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,640
I mean that's six guys I just mentioned that could

542
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,640
possibly be rotational pieces on this offensive line. So while

543
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,720
there's not a ton of returning production and a ton

544
00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:04,039
of returning starting experience, I think there's talent on this

545
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,200
offensive line, and if they get the starting rotation right,

546
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,039
there's a lot of depth theory as well. There's a

547
00:24:09,079 --> 00:24:12,160
lot of versatility. Again because of DJ Chester and Josh Thompson.

548
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,519
I think those two guys are the key to this

549
00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:19,720
offensive line. So your rotation that'll take shape, that'll form

550
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:21,680
more organically when you get into fall camp, he'll get

551
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,519
a clearer picture on that. But whether it's Thompson at

552
00:24:24,519 --> 00:24:28,720
guarter tackle, Chester at garter center, Mabinga as a starter

553
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,319
or a rotational piece of guard, you have a lot

554
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,559
of options, and I think you have a lot of

555
00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:36,119
talent on this offensive line. That of course, is the

556
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,599
biggest question mark for this team headed into twenty twenty five.

557
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,839
You got the running back in Caden Durham, Garrett Nelsmeyer's

558
00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:44,279
coming back as his second year in this program as

559
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:46,279
a starter. He looks to be one of the best

560
00:24:46,319 --> 00:24:48,319
quarterbacks in college football. And we know about all the

561
00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:50,640
weapons you got on the outside at tight end and

562
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,039
wide receiver. Your pass catchers are elite. This offense will

563
00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:56,160
go as the offensive line goes. We'll see how it

564
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,319
plays out as we get closer to fall camp. All right,

565
00:24:58,319 --> 00:24:59,839
we're going to take a quick time out. We get back,

566
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,400
go to talk a little Lashoe baseball on the other side.

567
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,839
That's coming up here on off the bench, offter bench.

obviously you never run out of hot water, which is

just a huge benefit of you got a big family

583
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,319
like me. You're getting home late, you got dishes, laundry, showers, whatever.

584
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,559
Speaker 2: You never run out.

585
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 8: You don't have to wait, you don't have to try

586
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,759
to save that hot water, because again, tankless, never going

592
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:41,519
Speaker 7: You didn't know all the ways I love you, so

593
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:42,799
he took a chance.

594
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 6: I love it. Cheering.

595
00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:55,279
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm sorry, this is justin timal I know, because didn't.

596
00:26:57,839 --> 00:27:00,640
I couldn't even tell you what cheering song. But I

597
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:01,799
can tell what he looked like. I know what he

598
00:27:01,799 --> 00:27:02,119
looks like.

599
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all. That's well, that's acceptable. Okay, Look, we

600
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,559
want to talk a little lshue baseball here. I had

601
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,599
Doug Thompson on yesterday when I asked him, you know,

602
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,960
kind of a broad breakdown of this Beton Rouge regional

603
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,519
coming up this weekend. Doug brought up something that I

604
00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:21,240
hadn't heard mentioned yet, but since he mentioned it, I

605
00:27:21,279 --> 00:27:23,720
have seen it probably two or three times yesterday, and

606
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,279
I want to give my thoughts on it because I

607
00:27:25,279 --> 00:27:29,680
actually disagree. So Doug was saying that he believes there's

608
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,640
a fifty to fifty chance LSU can pitch off, meaning

609
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,480
they will not throw Kate Anderson game one, they would

610
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,000
save him from maybe game two and then have Anderson

611
00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:39,039
Ayenson back to back.

612
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:41,799
Speaker 6: I don't think that will happen.

613
00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 3: Here's why, because Jay one really likes to keep his

614
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,039
guys in a rhythm. He doesn't like to change days

615
00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:53,680
on pitchers. And there was talk about this back in

616
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,000
the twenty twenty three regional. If you remember LS she

617
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,240
was the host site two lane was the four seed

618
00:27:59,759 --> 00:28:03,000
or in state really tough program was the two seat.

619
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,880
Everyone questioned, Hey, is Paul Sken's going to Are you

620
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,839
going to pitch off to Tulane throw a lesser arm,

621
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,240
throw your ace against Oregon State? Jay didn't do that.

622
00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:15,119
Now a lot of people criticize that decision for Jay

623
00:28:15,519 --> 00:28:18,519
not throwing skeins. The Tigers won two straight against Oregon State,

624
00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:20,839
they swept that regional, they moved on ultimately won the

625
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,559
national Championship, it didn't matter. So not only do we

626
00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:26,319
have a blueprint of it working out for Jay Johnson,

627
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,680
but we have a blueprint of what Jay is going

628
00:28:28,759 --> 00:28:33,079
to do. Elandra, Do you think there is any sort

629
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,160
of possibility LSU pitches off against Little Rock?

630
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,359
Speaker 5: History has shown that.

631
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:39,759
Speaker 6: No.

632
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean with Jay, you never know, but

633
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,119
I'm pretty confident that he'll probably pitch Kate Anderson against

634
00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:48,119
Little Rock tomorrow.

635
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm with you.

636
00:28:49,279 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 3: And because you and I have talked about this the

637
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,599
last couple of weeks, everyone says, Okay, well, you gotta

638
00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:54,279
throw Kate Anderson.

639
00:28:54,279 --> 00:28:54,799
Speaker 6: He's your ace.

640
00:28:54,839 --> 00:28:57,119
Speaker 3: As far as I'm concerned, Kate Anderson and Anthony Jasin

641
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,079
are one A and one B. I mean, they're they're

642
00:28:59,119 --> 00:29:01,319
they're what what to me? At this point, they've both

643
00:29:01,359 --> 00:29:03,759
been that dominant. So do I care if it's Kate

644
00:29:03,799 --> 00:29:06,759
Anderson or Anthony Iinson in game two? Nope, I don't.

645
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,640
I think they're going to keep the rotation exactly like

646
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,640
they have. Also, I've seen the questions of Okay, well

647
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,480
it's Dallas Baptist going to pitch off. No, Dallas Baptist

648
00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:19,240
is not going to pitch off for two reasons. One,

649
00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:21,799
Rhode Island can really hit the ball. I mean they

650
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,920
hit I think it's like three eight, three oh nine

651
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,200
as a team on the season, like Rhode Island can

652
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,759
swing it. And Rhode Island's ace is actually pretty good

653
00:29:29,759 --> 00:29:32,319
in his own right. So I think Dallas Baptist's best

654
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,160
is going to go up against the ace and Rhode Island.

655
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:36,440
I think it'd be stupid for Dallas Baptists to do

656
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:41,519
anything otherwise. Also, going back to the Lshue factor in

657
00:29:41,599 --> 00:29:46,400
all this little Rockets throwing their ace, coach Chris Curry

658
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,240
was on with Matt Moscona back on Tuesday and he said,

659
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,640
that's the worst kept secret that we are throwing Jackson

660
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,359
Wells against LSU. That's our ace, that's our guy. Jackson

661
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,160
Wells is not a normal small school arm. Now when

662
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,240
you go look at his you'll say, okay, well, he's

663
00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:02,960
three and six on the year, he has a five

664
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,759
to two four ERA in fifteen games. He does, but

665
00:30:07,799 --> 00:30:09,720
you know he's he's he's dealt with a little nagging

666
00:30:09,759 --> 00:30:13,799
injury at times this year. But you go look at

667
00:30:13,799 --> 00:30:17,240
his strikeout to walk numbers, ninety strikeouts to thirty two walks.

668
00:30:17,519 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 6: So still pretty solid there. Now.

669
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 3: He's allowing a lot of hits, but only seven home

670
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,079
runs given up all year long, so he's still a

671
00:30:26,119 --> 00:30:28,599
really solid pitcher. You can go looking, zoh, he has

672
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,440
a five point two four ERA. Yeah, I don't. I

673
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,720
don't really care about that. His strikeout to walk numbers

674
00:30:32,759 --> 00:30:35,119
are really good. He has a high strikeout number and

675
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,000
he doesn't give up a lot of big home runs.

676
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 6: He's a good pitcher.

677
00:30:39,119 --> 00:30:42,359
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty three, I don't know how many of

678
00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:44,960
you remember this, but Paul Skeins finished that twenty twenty

679
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,599
three baseball season with the second best ERA in all

680
00:30:48,599 --> 00:30:51,400
of college baseball, and it was incredible. It was one

681
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,279
point sixty nine. Do you know who was first in

682
00:30:55,319 --> 00:30:58,599
twenty twenty three? It was Jackson Wells two years ago,

683
00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:01,440
Jackson Wells one point six y five er.

684
00:31:02,519 --> 00:31:04,319
Speaker 6: Now, I get it, that was two years ago.

685
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,599
Speaker 3: But Jackson Wells has more strikeouts this year than he

686
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,839
did that year, and that was in ninety three innings.

687
00:31:09,839 --> 00:31:12,640
In twenty twenty three, he's thrown seventy nine innings this year.

688
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,759
He has ten more strikeouts than he had in twenty

689
00:31:14,799 --> 00:31:16,640
twenty three. So the era is not there, but the

690
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,000
strikeout numbers are up. Jackson Wells is not your normal

691
00:31:20,279 --> 00:31:23,640
small school, aren't. He can really throw the ball. I

692
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,799
don't think there's any question what Jay Johnson is going

693
00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:30,559
to do in this region, because again we've seen the

694
00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:32,799
blueprint with it with Paul Skens. He threw him against

695
00:31:32,799 --> 00:31:35,880
Tulane a Glandrovigion. You never quite know what Jay is

696
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,599
going to do. But Jay is also a guy of

697
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,000
habit right. He likes to keep his pictures in a rhythm.

698
00:31:41,839 --> 00:31:43,839
So I'm with her. Is where it's like, you don't

699
00:31:43,839 --> 00:31:46,240
know one hundred percent, but I am pretty confident. I

700
00:31:46,319 --> 00:31:48,799
am almost certain that Jay Johnson is not going to

701
00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:51,519
switch up this pitching irritation. Because if you throw Kate

702
00:31:51,599 --> 00:31:55,039
Anderson and you win, which I expect both of those

703
00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:59,279
things to happen, you will play the winner of Dallas

704
00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:03,680
Baptist Roade Island. Let's say, let's say everything's chalk and

705
00:32:03,799 --> 00:32:05,759
it's Dallas Baptist beat Rode Island.

706
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,799
Speaker 6: LSU beats a little rock. The one and two seeds

707
00:32:07,839 --> 00:32:08,079
move on.

708
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,319
Speaker 3: Your number two starter should be a hell of a

709
00:32:13,359 --> 00:32:15,559
lot better than the number two starter at Dallas Baptist

710
00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:18,720
because you have a guy in Anthony Jonson, who on

711
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,319
the majority of teams in College of Baseball would be

712
00:32:21,359 --> 00:32:24,079
the Friday night guy, would be considered the ace of

713
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,359
the staff. So I would give advantage Tigers in Game

714
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,359
two over Dallas Baptist. And you win that game, you

715
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,799
only got to win one more. You're sitting pretty. You

716
00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:35,960
can piece that last game together if you want. You

717
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,440
can throw Jaden Nute, you can throw Case and Evans,

718
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,799
you can throw Connor where you can piece that thing

719
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,160
together and get that done. I don't think there's any

720
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:49,720
question about who he's going to throw game one, why

721
00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:52,519
he's going to do what he is. But going back

722
00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:57,119
to game three, we know it's Kate Anderson game one,

723
00:32:57,319 --> 00:32:59,440
we know it's going to be Anthony Ions in game two.

724
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,680
We have set up here me elandre J when t

725
00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:06,920
Bob wazir him as well and talked about you gotta

726
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,720
find maybe a third and fourth arm, not go six

727
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,640
seven innings, but a guy that can maybe go four

728
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,480
for you can start a game for you. Do you

729
00:33:14,519 --> 00:33:16,880
feel confident you can win with because you're going to

730
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,079
need that when you get into postseason and you're really

731
00:33:19,119 --> 00:33:20,640
going to need it if you make it to O Mahu.

732
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,880
They've tinkered with it a little bit since taken Chase

733
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,640
Shores out. Cason Evans got a few starts. We saw

734
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,000
Jade Nu get a start in the SEC tournament. Connor

735
00:33:31,039 --> 00:33:34,519
Ware has gotten some starts in midweek, like they they've

736
00:33:34,559 --> 00:33:36,960
they've kind of tinkered with a lot of different guys.

737
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,359
Speaker 6: A Landra, who would you throw.

738
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 3: Let's say you win game one and two, you only

739
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,839
need one more win to move on, and you use

740
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,960
you already use that cow when he's out, you use

741
00:33:49,039 --> 00:33:51,720
him out of the bullpen. Who's the game three starter?

742
00:33:52,039 --> 00:33:55,000
Like if you had to pick today Anderson Iansen?

743
00:33:55,079 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 5: Who so like where he used Anderson?

744
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 6: And I am you're in game three, but a two

745
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:02,279
game lead, you just need one win.

746
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,519
Speaker 4: I liked in the tournament when we used Newt and

747
00:34:05,559 --> 00:34:08,000
then Chase Shores came out, and then if we haven't

748
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:09,360
used case and Evans, we can.

749
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

750
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,599
Speaker 5: I think we can get enough out of.

751
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:16,599
Speaker 4: New Shores to maybe go to Caseon Evans to close

752
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:16,920
it out.

753
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,079
Speaker 5: But if you need somebody in the interim, there's plenty

754
00:34:20,119 --> 00:34:20,840
of people to go to.

755
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

756
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 3: We talked about this YO yesterday with the with the

757
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,880
depth of the bullpen, right, I agree. I Jaden Knut

758
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,239
might be my first option, and I'm with you about

759
00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:33,320
the Newt to Shores combination because I just think Chase

760
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:34,719
Shores right now is a lot better out of the

761
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,000
bullpen than he was as a starter. Some people are

762
00:34:37,039 --> 00:34:40,199
like that. Remember when Zach Kess was here as a freshmen,

763
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,079
he was a dominant closer. You tried to make him

764
00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:44,159
a starter the next year. It just didn't work out.

765
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,199
Once you moved him back into the bullpen, he was

766
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:49,519
dominant once again. I just think right now Shores is

767
00:34:49,519 --> 00:34:51,639
better out of the bullpen than he is as a starter.

768
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,920
Jade Nut's proven that he can kind of do both.

769
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,719
Cason Evans has proven that he can kind of do both.

770
00:34:57,559 --> 00:35:00,639
So you may have found a third and even a

771
00:35:00,679 --> 00:35:04,599
fourth starter that again aren't going to go six seven innings,

772
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,840
but can go three to four innings for you. In

773
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,440
Jaden Nude in case of Evans, you're going to need that.

774
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,519
That's going to be big time when you show up

775
00:35:12,519 --> 00:35:14,880
in Omaha if you happen to make a domol, which

776
00:35:15,559 --> 00:35:18,039
I think this LSU team has a good chance in doing.

777
00:35:18,639 --> 00:35:20,599
We've talked all week long about how favor of a

778
00:35:21,199 --> 00:35:25,559
draw they have with Dallas, Baptist, Rhode Island, and Little

779
00:35:25,639 --> 00:35:27,519
Rock in the regional and then you're paired with the

780
00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:33,159
Clemson Regional. So it's Clemson, West Virginia, and Kentucky and Andre,

781
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:34,880
you and I were actually talking about West Virginia the

782
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,039
other day, and you know, looking at their overall record,

783
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,639
I didn't realize this. Pretty much every time this season

784
00:35:40,679 --> 00:35:44,119
West Virginia has played a top thirty RPI team, they've lost.

785
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,280
So that record as a hole is really good, but

786
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,760
the record against good teams it's not there. So there's

787
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,519
a chance because like you and I were talking, oh yeah,

788
00:35:53,519 --> 00:35:55,760
if it's not Clemson, like it could be West Virginia,

789
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
keep and eye on that. I think Clemson might actually

790
00:35:58,039 --> 00:36:01,079
be in the driver's seat right now. But if Kentucky

791
00:36:01,159 --> 00:36:04,840
gets hot, that's a team that not that I don't

792
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:05,360
want to see.

793
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,639
Speaker 6: But like the small ball you to death they bought.

794
00:36:08,039 --> 00:36:11,119
Speaker 3: They're good at advancing runners, at manufacturing runs, and Nick

795
00:36:11,159 --> 00:36:14,199
Manngeon is a really good baseball coach. Watch out for

796
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,320
the Kentucky Wildcats because I was kind of looking at

797
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,039
this as a as a two headed race between Clemson

798
00:36:19,199 --> 00:36:21,320
and West Virginia. But when you go look at West

799
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,519
Virginia against top thirty RPI teams. It's not great when

800
00:36:24,519 --> 00:36:27,679
they have a good record overall and in the Big twelve,

801
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,719
but when they play those elite programs, they've come up

802
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,119
just a little bit short. That's something to keep an

803
00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:35,559
eye on. But going back to the original dolt, I

804
00:36:35,559 --> 00:36:39,000
don't think Jay Johnson pitches off. I think it's anderson

805
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,639
ianson to be determined in game three and game four

806
00:36:42,679 --> 00:36:45,840
if necessary. We'll get to that when we get there.

807
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,639
We're going to take a quick time out. We get back,

808
00:36:47,639 --> 00:36:50,239
we're wrapping up our number one. Then an hour number two.

809
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,880
Jacob Pastor in Destin for SEC spring meetings. We're gonna

810
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,480
hear from coach Kim Malkey and coach of Brian Kelly,

811
00:36:57,519 --> 00:36:59,280
as he interviewed both of them yesterday. That's coming up

812
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:00,760
in the eight o'clock out. When we get back, we're

813
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,880
closing out our number one here on off the bench.

814
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:04,519
Speaker 1: Off the bench.

815
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,519
Speaker 8: Ktoz Blinds dot Com is the website.

816
00:37:07,639 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 6: It's Safer Shoo k.

817
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 8: To z Interiors and Outdoor Living been doon it since

818
00:37:13,519 --> 00:37:16,480
two thousand and four. Brandon Barton and the team gonna

819
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,960
come out to your space, your home, your business and

820
00:37:19,039 --> 00:37:21,000
learn your space, going to know it better than you

821
00:37:21,079 --> 00:37:23,679
probably in like five or ten minutes. That's what they've

822
00:37:23,679 --> 00:37:25,480
done for me. They did it for Tea, They're gonna

823
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,480
probably do it for Flynn. I'll do it for you

824
00:37:27,519 --> 00:37:29,440
as well. It's not just because we talk about them

825
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,480
every day. That's just who they are and that is

826
00:37:31,519 --> 00:37:35,440
what they get done every single day. Now into your

827
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,239
and outdoor living sometimes it's both. And that's what I

828
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,280
have gotten from them. The shade is incredible. I told

829
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,119
y'all the other day. My dad saw it. He's like,

830
00:37:44,159 --> 00:37:47,199
wait a minute, I want one of those. Brandon driving

831
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,000

832
00:37:50,079 --> 00:37:50,480

Speaker 2: That's just who they are.

834
00:37:51,639 --> 00:37:53,960

Speaker 3: Welcome back in final segment, hour number one. Here on

843
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:44,159
a Thursday edition of Off the Bench, Taylor Shoppy with

844
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,280
you sitting in for Jacob Ester one more day.

845
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,159
Speaker 6: Our guy will be back tomorrow. He has been at

846
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:49,360
SEC spring.

847
00:38:49,199 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 3: Meetings all week long, and he actually sent us back

848
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,480
a couple of l s U interviews. Yesterday was l

849
00:38:55,599 --> 00:38:58,840
s U day over there at SEC spring meetings. So

850
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,239
we're gonna hear from coach Kim Mulky at eight am.

851
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,599
This is an interview that Jake did with her yesterday,

852
00:39:03,639 --> 00:39:05,639
and then at eight thirty we're going to here from

853
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,280
LSU head coach Brian Kelly.

854
00:39:07,599 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 6: Look, there has been a ton of debate.

855
00:39:09,039 --> 00:39:11,119
Speaker 3: I mean, you've heard the Greg Sinki sound bites at

856
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,800
nauseum at this point about what he thinks about the

857
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,280
sixteen team playoff, whether or not the SEC should even

858
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,360
be in the NCAA. Why three three loss teams got

859
00:39:20,519 --> 00:39:22,840
left out even though two of them be Georgia broke

860
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,880
that down yesterday. How about don't lose to crappy teams.

861
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,079
That's a good way to uh not get left out

862
00:39:27,079 --> 00:39:31,480
of the college football playoff. But this segment I got

863
00:39:31,639 --> 00:39:34,920
T Bob Abear was actually in the building yesterday, ran

864
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,360
into him as I was leaving, So it's really funny.

865
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,920
Right after the show, now Landra is carrying these what

866
00:39:41,119 --> 00:39:45,199
looked to be really heavy packages up to T Bob's office.

867
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:46,599
So they didn't go in.

868
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 5: They were heavy.

869
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,599
Speaker 6: They looked at heavy. I mean the boxes were huge,

870
00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:51,199
and like there was no gift to me either.

871
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,119
Speaker 3: There was no gift to two boxes in my hand,

872
00:39:55,039 --> 00:39:57,519
my keys, So did you walk up the stairs with them?

873
00:39:57,639 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 4: So I took the elevator, okay, but I had those

874
00:40:00,039 --> 00:40:02,639
two big old boxes that were actually pretty heavy in

875
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,000
my arms. And then I had a bottle of champagne

876
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,400
that I was trying really hard not to break because

877
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,679
Katie Jake's wife got T Bob this amazing bottle of

878
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,320
champagne that uh somebody hand painted like a bunch of

879
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,519
OTB stuff and put all of us on the bottle.

880
00:40:18,599 --> 00:40:20,559
So I was trying really hard not to break that,

881
00:40:22,199 --> 00:40:26,960
and nobody was like, hey, need some help. So I'm

882
00:40:27,079 --> 00:40:30,280
just like carrying all this stuff in my hands, struggling.

883
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's on me. I did I did see. I

884
00:40:33,039 --> 00:40:34,880
did see right before you got in the room that

885
00:40:35,039 --> 00:40:35,760
that's that's on me.

886
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 3: It's fine because my original thought was, oh, she carried

887
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,920
it this far, she'd probably make it ten feet, but

888
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,599
you actually you actually brought the bottle and showed me

889
00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:44,679
the cries.

890
00:40:45,159 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 5: T Bob left all his gifts out, watched.

891
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 6: T Bob doesn't forget anything.

892
00:40:49,119 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know how.

893
00:40:51,079 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 4: He doesn't work here anymore, and I'm still like grabbing

894
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,199
stuff for him that he left behind, Like at Whiskey

895
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,239
and Wine. I'd always like put all his stuff on

896
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,159
his chair so he wouldn't forget it.

897
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 3: So I was telling Victoria when I brought this home, Well,

898
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,599
we'll get into this in just a second of what

899
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,960
this is. But uh, I was telling her. She's like, oh,

900
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,400
you saw Tea Up today? Because I was like, yeah,

901
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,599

902
00:41:11,639 --> 00:41:13,519

903
00:41:13,519 --> 00:41:15,960
I was like, Victoria, Teabup's last day was two weeks ago.

904
00:41:16,039 --> 00:41:17,440
I think I've seen him every day at work, but

906
00:41:20,639 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm like every day pretty much.

907
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 3: So went to Chicago last week, but pretty much the

908
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,360
beginning of that week, like Monday Tuesday, he was here.

909
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,719
But then when he was in Chicago, I was also

I see him yesterday.

913
00:41:39,559 --> 00:41:42,159
Speaker 6: Like we've pretty much seen Tea Bob every single day.

914
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,599
Speaker 2: Yea, even though that like.

915
00:41:44,639 --> 00:41:48,079
Speaker 4: We had brunch or whatever. Yeah, I've seen him. We

916
00:41:48,199 --> 00:41:51,000
were like being so dramatic like, oh, this is your

917
00:41:51,079 --> 00:41:52,239
last day, but we've seen.

918
00:41:52,079 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 5: Him like every day.

919
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, like like literally every single day. Okay, we'll speaking

920
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,599
of T Bob a couple of weeks ago. Okay, so

921
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,639
his last week was too. His last day was two

922
00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:03,800
Fridays ago. That's Sunday night. So leading up to his

923
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,559
last week, you know, he's cleaning out all of his

924
00:42:06,599 --> 00:42:09,440
stuff and he said, hey, what size shirt do you wear?

925
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,679
Can you wear a medium or is that too small?

926
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,360
And I said, well, it depends on the shirt and

927
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,559
the brand. I'm usually somewhere between a medium and a large.

928
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,960
And he said, okay, cool. Caitlin got me a Queen

929
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,320
of Sparkle shirt forever ago, but for some reason, she

930
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,599
got it in a medium. I've never been able to

931
00:42:26,639 --> 00:42:29,519
wear it. Tag still on it and I said, oh, okay,

932
00:42:29,639 --> 00:42:32,320
nice thinking. And I'm never going to see this because

933
00:42:32,599 --> 00:42:36,360
it's tea bop. Well that was two Sundays ago. Yesterday,

934
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,119
I catch him walking, you know, we're talking a little bit.

935
00:42:39,159 --> 00:42:39,840
He goes, oh, don't leave.

936
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:40,199
Speaker 6: Just shit.

937
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,199
Speaker 3: He goes, I got something for you. So I am

938
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,559
now officially the owner of a Queen of Sparkle shirt.

939
00:42:47,639 --> 00:42:50,480
It's gaudy, it's not really my vibe, but I'll tell

940
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:50,679
you what.

941
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 6: I love it. Like you see Queen of Sparkles.

942
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 3: Everybody knows her because she designs all the flashy outfits

943
00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:00,400
for Kim Maulki went on the website yesterday because I'm like, Okay,

944
00:43:01,039 --> 00:43:03,159
forgive me for thinking this. I see the name Queen

945
00:43:03,199 --> 00:43:06,599
of Sparkles. I'm like, he don't make men's clothes. This

946
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,639
is actually the only men's shirt go to the go

947
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,559
to the shot Jordan. It's actually the only men's shirt

948
00:43:12,639 --> 00:43:16,960
they they make. It's got the UH, it's got the

949
00:43:17,039 --> 00:43:19,199
queen logo. Looks like a plate in card.

950
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:20,519
Speaker 5: What's on the shirt in the UH?

951
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,119
Speaker 3: So it's it's called it's called the second I'll put

952
00:43:23,159 --> 00:43:25,039
it on when we go to break So it's it's

953
00:43:25,079 --> 00:43:28,159
called the Second Line shirt. Just New Orleans themed. I mean,

954
00:43:28,199 --> 00:43:30,800
it's got men and women in like cocktail attire. It

955
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,039
has French quarter on the back. It's a second Line

956
00:43:33,159 --> 00:43:35,840
like it's it's a pretty cool shirt. Like obviously I

957
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,440
don't own anything like this. It's got sparkles across the front. Like,

958
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,639
this is a very t bop shirt. But I think

959
00:43:41,639 --> 00:43:43,039
I'm gonnare this? I think we're gonna put it on

960
00:43:43,119 --> 00:43:43,800
a little bit later.

961
00:43:44,079 --> 00:43:49,199
Speaker 4: Uh well, her husband wears like really he wears him

962
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,920
and Jamie is her name, Like they wear very similar.

963
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so. So I judged like a Battle

964
00:43:58,679 --> 00:44:01,679
of the Bands with her one time, and his name's Hunter.

965
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 4: He was there too, and my neighbors are friends with him,

966
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,239
like they've been friends since college or whatever.

967
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:11,199
Speaker 5: But yeah, he has a very They both have very

968
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:13,079
how do I say it?

969
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:17,039
Speaker 4: Like their style is lamboyant, flamboyant, I guess is the

970
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:18,239
I mean it makes.

971
00:44:18,079 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 3: Sense if you're married to the Queen of Sparkles, you

972
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:20,960
gotta be bring it.

973
00:44:21,159 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got to bring it if you're married to

974
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:23,800
the Queen of Sparkles.

975
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 6: But yeah, So it's funny.

976
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 3: When Tima first brought me this, I was like, no, Wing,

977
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,840
you're giving me your fruit shirt because a bunch of colors.

978
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:32,920
I was like, TV, you're not You're not getting rid

979
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,440
of your fruit shirt. He's like, no, this is the

980
00:44:34,519 --> 00:44:35,320
Queen of Sparkle shirt.

981
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 6: I'll tell you. But I was like, I forgot because

982
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,079
I was like two weeks ago. But uh, it's pretty

983
00:44:39,119 --> 00:44:40,199
cool and it does fit.

984
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 3: I had to try it on when I got it because,

985
00:44:43,039 --> 00:44:45,159
like again, sometimes I'm a medium, Like this shirt, here's

986
00:44:45,199 --> 00:44:48,400
a large. This shirt here fits me better than this

987
00:44:48,639 --> 00:44:50,880
like it's it's weird. I'm a tweener. Like if they

988
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,360
