Because I was here in the shop that morning.

19
00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:55,679
Speaker 5: Very cool?

20
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: Uh College game day was on. You had people all

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,479
around you.

22
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:01,039
Speaker 4: Set up the car off your bar for us, which

23
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:03,000
was very very cool. So it was a great vibe

24
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:06,359
in the store. How was setting up for one of

25
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,680
those big time LSU Florida games.

26
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 6: We are very blessed with our relationship with LSU. We

27
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,159
have seven locations on campus. On a day likes last Saturday,

28
00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:19,280
so we were wide open with employees running around setting

29
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:22,560
up locations and stands. And we did more sales in

30
00:01:22,599 --> 00:01:24,799
a four hour period than we did all last months.

31
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,719
Speaker 7: Where do you where do you pull from your talent

32
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,040
pool for employees? I mean, I'm sure you kind of

33
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:30,760
got to like beef it up a little bit for

34
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:32,640
game days, but it's not like an everyday deal where

35
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,120
your pulling the talent from LSU.

36
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 5: So there you go.

37
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 6: It's a very easy hiring process, uh politically, just you're hired.

38
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: Yes, can you hey lift that box? Yeah, you got

39
00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:46,719
in the air.

40
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 5: You're hired. Very easy, ready to go.

41
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:52,719
Speaker 4: I got sent us like a ton of pictures like

42
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,760
over the weekend, people on social media that had bought something.

43
00:01:56,799 --> 00:01:58,359
Speaker 3: Uh from one of the booths.

44
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:02,079
Speaker 4: Helmet with a certain inscription on it made its way

45
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:08,840
from front. I think, hold on, sign this out. It

46
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,439
is like the inventory in Trey's brain. Matt like he's

47
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,680
you know, he's got it, like it's in there or whatever.

48
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,840
And I was signing some stuff on Saturday and there

49
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:19,680
was three guys came in from Colorado and they're like, hey,

50
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,479
we want something, but we were on a plane. It's

51
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,159
Ray's like going through all the different things in his head.

52
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:26,719
He's like, oh, blah blah blah, blah, we got football,

53
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:28,199
all right, we got three go get three in the

54
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,560
back there, and it's like the inventory you have in

55
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:31,520
your head is impressive.

56
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 6: Well, I appreciate you saying that that was cool to

57
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,120
have those guys around of town that never been to

58
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,000
a game before and they heard us talking about this

59
00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:40,240
on the radio and they came and bought something.

60
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,439
Speaker 5: So advertising dollars are working. So how did he go with?

61
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 7: So we saw the Florida, the ugly Florida helmet, a

62
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,280
Tim Tebow slid? Did you get did you have a

63
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,120
lot of Gator fans coming in and buying some Florida stuff?

64
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 6: So we use a an artist, Becky Fall. She's probably

65
00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:56,520
the number one artist in New Orleans and Baton Rouge

66
00:02:56,599 --> 00:02:58,960
right now and she paints a big Gator.

67
00:02:59,520 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 5: Uh.

68
00:02:59,719 --> 00:03:01,719
Speaker 6: So that that was a very popular art item. So

69
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:03,599
we did sell to a lot of Florida flans this weekend.

70
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 5: Nice. That's great.

71
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:09,479
Speaker 6: Hey, they're bringing dollars here to pro dreams like that's right.

72
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,639
Get money is green, you should get care where it comes.

73
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 4: Does she get Marco Wilson to sign him throwing a

74
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,080
shoe and then sell that?

75
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:18,479
Speaker 3: I don't know.

76
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if Florida fans or LSU fans would

77
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,360
buy that. But LSU fans for sure, right, So how

78
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:23,800
does it work?

79
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,879
Speaker 7: So they come in at at the tables around the

80
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,199
stadium or in the shop here, and and they're from

81
00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:30,479
out of town. They they pick the items they want,

82
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,919
whether it's the inventory is in your brain or whether

83
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,159
it's sitting right here, and you ship and they they

84
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,319
pay any you shipping.

85
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 6: So we kind of have a little bit of both.

86
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,560
We have options for all customers no matter what they're buying.

87
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:41,599
They could either take it right then and there, they

88
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:43,599
can get a ship to them or pick it up

89
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:45,960
at our brand new retail location here at thirty nine

90
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,960
to thirty Burbank driving Baton Rooms.

91
00:03:48,479 --> 00:03:50,919
Speaker 4: Who are some of the current lshoe guys that y'all

92
00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:53,560
are working with because of them, when Matt and I

93
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:55,879
were playing, like we had to wait, oh my gosh,

94
00:03:55,879 --> 00:03:58,280
like don't you dare sign an autograph that you think

95
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,360
is going to be sold? And the landscape changing in

96
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:04,319
al it's great and players can come in and really

97
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,439
this is like the true spirit of what NIL was

98
00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:10,360
supposed to be for sure was memorabilia and autograph signings

99
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,479
and come hang out so like, what are you currently

100
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:13,560
doing with Thilhee right now?

101
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 6: Yesterday we had Barryon here in the store, we had

102
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,800
Trey Dez here. They signed a couple of helmets and

103
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,639
footballs and stuff. So we're really excited about the new

104
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:22,920
class coming in and just some of the new talent.

105
00:04:22,959 --> 00:04:25,759
Speaker 5: But it is cool to see specifically.

106
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 6: Bary On yesterday was walking around looking at our Michael

107
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:30,079
Jordan jersey and he was just in awe, like he

108
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,480
just stared at it and it couldn't he couldn't get

109
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,079
his brain passed, like that's twelve thousand dollars, Like he

110
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,240
was in shell shock, and he just kept asking me,

111
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,800
like someone's gonna buy that.

112
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:45,639
Speaker 5: Two hours later we sold it. Wow. Yeah that one

113
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,920
right there. It's got the lights on it.

114
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's got a little led around it. So it's

115
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,680
cool to see young players excited about memorabilia and just

116
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:57,120
putting a little money in their pocket for something that

117
00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:58,439
they've built on the field.

118
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:00,519
Speaker 7: Oh for sure, he's probably staring at me like he's

119
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,600
too young to realize. I mean, he knows who Michael

120
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:04,680
Jordan is, probably wears the shoes and everything, but like

121
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,519
people that got to see him play live and person.

122
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, he knows he might know Michael Jordan through the

123
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:15,800
Lebron versus Michael debate. Yeah, exactly, and me and me

124
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:16,360
and myself.

125
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,199
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah the first one.

126
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:20,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

127
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,079
Speaker 7: Let me ask you, so when you were I'm curious,

128
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,439
like in this whole like in il landscape, I'm so curious,

129
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,399
like the fine details of like the business side of

130
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,560
working with an athlete.

131
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,639
Speaker 5: So how do you get to these players?

132
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 7: Do you have to call three people that connect to

133
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:35,399
these players?

134
00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:37,759
Speaker 5: Have agents? Do they have friends and family?

135
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:37,879
Speaker 2: Like?

136
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 5: How does all that get even started? So? How do

137
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,879
I get to players? Is the secret? Sauce?

138
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,439
Speaker 6: Right, I'll tell the very first time I ever got

139
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,560
to a player. I was so excited right after the

140
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,399
Saints won the Super Bowl. Never met a real player,

141
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,319
like a real professional anthlete at the time, and they

142
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,079
made this huge advertisement that they were going to have

143
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,360
this after party for the Saints at the hotel in Biloxi.

144
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:02,879
So I walk into this after party and I'm so

145
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,120
excited that I see Pierre Thomas walking and I the

146
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,920
crowd was kind of not paying attention, so I ran

147
00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:13,120
after him. We flew through this door and I'd go

148
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,920
to ask him for his autograph. I said, mister Pierre,

149
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:15,759
can I have your autograph?

150
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,319
Speaker 5: Please? He said, can I finish using a restroom?

151
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 6: No, my very friend of autographs that I was looking

152
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:28,920
for tackled Pierre Thomas in the restroom and it just

153
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,120
kind of went from there through Instagram, DMS, through social media,

154
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,920
just reaching out to players and then either they handled

155
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,079
me or they passed a lot of them, and especially

156
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,160
the new guys as the parents or maybe you know,

157
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:43,160
an agent. And then once you treat a customer or

158
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,319
a client, well they kind of passed your name to

159
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,439
the next guy and we go from there.

160
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 5: I thought, you're about to have any the secret sauces.

161
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,319
Wait outside the bathroom. Everybody's gotta go.

162
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah two bro, what is wrong with it?

00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,920
still sells really well, you got you got Manning, Ricky

171
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,480
Jackson taking down close.

172
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:30,399
Speaker 6: But if if you're talking about Saints as a brand.

173
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:32,759
You're selling ten to one l SU to Saint stuff, right,

174
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,279
Oh wow, Yeah, it's that drastic tend to one.

175
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 5: Tend to one is when the Saints are good?

176
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: What is that number?

177
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,439
Speaker 6: It's still probably heavy? I mean three probably. I mean

178
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:46,399
I don't know why, just them as a brand. I

179
00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:49,079
don't want to talk bad about the Saints because they're Saints,

180
00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:52,800
but yeah, Saints show no, yeah, good, it's it's tough

181
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,360
if it's not, if it's not Drew.

182
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got a question just from like cause you know,

183
00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:00,519
we've talked about Tester and I kind like into the

184
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,399
sports card world and there's like, like you sell the

185
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,199
hype a lot in the sports car world before, like.

186
00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 5: That the hype of potential.

187
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 7: Is that kind of the same in the member billy world,

188
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,959
because like, was you sell the wave for sure?

189
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

190
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 6: One of our biggest example was Mason Taylor when we

191
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:18,800
beat Alabama in overtime. Yeah, we had a signing already

192
00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:20,839
lined up. It was just a stroke of luck that

193
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:23,920
we had wow on Wednesday. So by Friday we had

194
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,279
a next home game, we had product on the table

195
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:28,519
of the photo of him diving in the end zone signed.

196
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,120
Oh yeah, we sold six thousand of them pictures of them.

197
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,120
I mean it was a lot like it was crazy timing. O. Now,

198
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:38,519
like I can't give I love Mason. He was awesome

199
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,679
in great family lineage. But I can't sell a Mason

200
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,159
Taylor autograph to save my life right now.

201
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know. So it's it's just timing time, just timing.

202
00:08:47,039 --> 00:08:48,120
Start getting saying that.

203
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 4: That that Florida picture down there in the corner.

204
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,879
Speaker 6: Like timing of last week. I won't sell it one

205
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:53,559
until next year.

206
00:08:53,799 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 5: Right.

207
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 4: But if I, like in two thousand and seven, if I.

208
00:08:57,039 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 3: Would have been a thing, we could have had a

209
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:00,840
lot of them on yer Man.

210
00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:03,399
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, and we still have. We've done well. Yeah,

211
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:04,879
you know for sure, Yeah, for sure.

212
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 4: But you know, when I was trying to check the

213
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,120
couch cushions to see if we go to the movies.

214
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,519
Speaker 5: The one thing that I needed it.

215
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 6: You know, you keep asking about the NIL situation, and

216
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,559
the thing that I just keep going back to is

217
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,480
a guy like both of y'all that by the time

218
00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:24,960
you got back to Baton Rouge, were you an accessible

219
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,600
athlete that had already passed NFL.

220
00:09:27,639 --> 00:09:28,519
Speaker 5: You had already passed.

221
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,639
Speaker 6: Now you're in retirement age, people still want it, but

222
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,639
it's not as sure that guy on the field. So

223
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,080
in the era of like a Dylan Cruz when he

224
00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:40,360
was hit a home run, I already had product on

225
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,000
the table. They'd walk by and go, I want that

226
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,399
jersey now because he just walked it.

227
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 5: Off, you know. So it was that instant gratification in

228
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:50,279
that instant that's.

229
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,159
Speaker 4: A great point any think about that because yeah, even okay,

230
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:56,759
so like no matter what your career is at LSU,

231
00:09:57,039 --> 00:09:59,080
if it's a really good one, you go play professionally.

232
00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:02,120
And so when you go play professionally, like you know,

233
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,679
you don't have the time, Like you just don't have

234
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,080
that Like you can't come back to batteries for a

235
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,799
signing and you can't really sign one hundred jerseys or whatever.

236
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,799
So like back then, by the time you came back,

237
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:14,840
I mean you're still it's still popular, but you lost

238
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,519
that timing that we're talking about. But now that timing

239
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,919
can go away because like if you know Nushmeyert, those

240
00:10:21,919 --> 00:10:25,840
for four hundred yards and four touchdowns, well you got product.

241
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: In here right now or whoever you know, you know

242
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:28,720
what I.

243
00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:32,879
Speaker 6: Mean, he hadn't signed yet. No, but a guy, especially

244
00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:35,080
in baseball. He'll go play in Middle of Americans in

245
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,279
the Cape Cod League for four years, chasing the dream,

246
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,080
and he didn't want to come back to Baton Rouge

247
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,519
for a couple thousand bucks and sign autographs Like that

248
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:44,799
doesn't make sense. So and then on the second part

249
00:10:44,879 --> 00:10:46,720
of that, the nil has kind of hurt us a

250
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,080
little bit because they're seeing the big revenue dollars for

251
00:10:51,159 --> 00:10:53,519
someone serving chicken out of a window for two hours

252
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,440
that is worth thirty thousand.

253
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 5: Dollars to them.

254
00:10:56,039 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 6: Well, they have an infinite amount of inventory that they

255
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,559
could use. They could put it on publics ad, they

256
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,879
can put it on a shirt, they can put on

257
00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:07,000
a billboard. We have a finite number of inventory that

258
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,360
we have to break that down for what that cost

259
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:12,120
per athlete. So it's tough to ask an athlete to

260
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:14,879
come here for X amount of dollars because we have

261
00:11:14,919 --> 00:11:18,120
to divide that by how many pieces we have for

262
00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:20,759
the fair market value for that item for a customer

263
00:11:20,799 --> 00:11:22,360
to walk through the door and pay for that autograph.

264
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,480
So it is a tough memoraile. You ask for an

265
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,519
ail right now, Okay, I guess it makes sense too.

266
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: And then for you, I mean, look, you got to

267
00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:31,960
cost the helmet, you got to cost to the athlete

268
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,519
that had to come in here.

269
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,879
Speaker 6: They say a lot with the new conversations of what

270
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,360
is fair market value for that athlete's autograph that has

271
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,679
to be divided by what's on the national market, what

272
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,480
I can sell it on eBay for, what I can

273
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:47,559
sell it in the store for, Like I can't ask

274
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,960
a customer to pay one thousand dollars for a guy

275
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,759
that's barely eve improved on the field yet.

276
00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 5: So we'll see. It's definitely a moving target.

277
00:11:56,879 --> 00:11:58,879
Speaker 7: So I know one of your big things that y'all

278
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:01,000
do here are the silent action. It's a different events,

279
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,759
whether it's a charity event or a big group raising

280
00:12:03,799 --> 00:12:05,559
money or a corporate event, things like that.

281
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 4: Y'all were doing one at the event we spoke at

282
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:11,720
last Friday, I believe at like cook Yeah, yeah, yeah.

283
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:13,919
Speaker 7: So what you got anythink cool plan, any any events

284
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,799
co or that you just did that that stuck out

285
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:17,000
to you.

286
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, we have a big event tonight actually Thursday night

287
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,440
that we're raising money for. We're a no risk opportunity

288
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,120
to where we bring all the items that you see

289
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,960
here in the store, set it all up we're a

290
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,320
full service provider for an auction company. So it takes

291
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,519
the risk out of a company throwing an auction or

292
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,799
having to go buy items somewhere and having to resell

293
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,519
them and hope they get more money for them.

294
00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 5: If your silent auction.

295
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 6: This is probably an unpopular statement, but if you're a

296
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:47,120
silent auction chair for a fundraiser and that's your main

297
00:12:47,159 --> 00:12:50,240
source of revenue, you've already lost like your real ad,

298
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,679
your real dollars should come from ads or sponsorship or

299
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,200
table sales or alcohol sales.

300
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 5: Like. So we kind of took the guesswork out of

301
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:57,279
out of auctions.

302
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, a lot of times it'll ruin a relationship when

303
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,320
you're a business owner and all you do is, man,

304
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,639
they're calling again for that soap basket. Like, we're not

305
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,279
gonna take that call, you know, so you have to

306
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:09,639
basket no risks.

307
00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:11,919
Speaker 7: So you'll come in there they call you and and

308
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,360
it's really basically you're going in there and like you're

309
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:17,320
you're setting everything up on your on your dime and

310
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,080
then actually giving part of the proceeds back.

311
00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 5: Yes, whatever it sells. We use a unique bidding style.

312
00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 6: It's called every bid Wins That means every person that

313
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,679
write their name down wins one of those items. So

314
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,919
we can sell three, four five of those items instead

315
00:13:29,919 --> 00:13:32,879
of just one interest and the charity will raise three

316
00:13:32,919 --> 00:13:34,960
times as much and more. However many times you'll sell it,

317
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:37,320
That's why I need to go. You have six hundred

318
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:38,279
jerseys that one time.

319
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 4: Okay, so you have so you have like a starting

320
00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:43,000
bid and if you write your name down, you.

321
00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:43,639
Speaker 5: Get the first one.

322
00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 6: If you're the first one to bid on it, you're

323
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,480
taking that item home tonight.

324
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:47,159
Speaker 5: Oh cool.

325
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 6: After that up, it goes up in twenty five dollars increments, right,

326
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,840
and then so the next person will just have to

327
00:13:51,879 --> 00:13:52,480
ship them one.

328
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

329
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,279
Speaker 3: I mean it encourages people to go be the first one.

330
00:13:55,159 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 6: To be the first one because you pay the lowest

331
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:57,960
price and you take it home tonight.

332
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,639
Speaker 7: Interesting. Yeah, wow, I've ever seen that before. I'd be right,

333
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,159
I'd be like, it gets them every time.

334
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,919
Speaker 6: It gets them every time because they're like, oh, I

335
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:07,879
want this, this and this.

336
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:08,399
Speaker 5: Yeah.

337
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 6: It prevents a couple of things too. Throughout the night,

338
00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:13,759
you know how much money you're raising. Yeah too, it

339
00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:17,240
prevents the old line after an event that you see

340
00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:20,240
fifty people trying to check out and yeah, nobody wants

341
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,039
to do that anymore. Yeah, yeah, I know it.

342
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,399
Speaker 7: Does it look like when they when the event starts,

343
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:26,919
does it look like the shoppers at Target like on

344
00:14:27,039 --> 00:14:30,039
Black Friday? Like they're off the door like I'm trying

345
00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:30,960
to pull the door open.

346
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:32,240

Speaker 3: Sometimes? Uh sure.

349
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 5: Jacob Hester autographs for sure. People raising.

417
00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:19,640
you back on as always.

418
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 2: I'm great, brother bilin Blest this morning.

419
00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 5: Man, how was the Gator?

420
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,039
Speaker 4: I saw beautiful, beautiful pictures of Gator everywhere on social media,

421
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,400
and I know that you enjoyed some good old Gator

422
00:18:32,839 --> 00:18:33,720
this last weekend.

423
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 2: I mean we smoked that thing, two of them. We

424
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,960
smoked the two smaller ones for five hours and we

425
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,720
consumed one and a half. And you know what was

426
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,920
the kids loved it first of all. You know, we

427
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,599
carted it out on the table and everybody was doing

428
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,559
and on over and I mean it tasted delicious, right,

429
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,359
But I think I think the better part of it

430
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,960
was yesterday. I had some bits and pieces left over

431
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,039
that I pulled off the car and we made. I

432
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,559
made Gator sauce.

433
00:19:03,319 --> 00:19:04,839
Speaker 5: To coant with the bakery.

434
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 2: You know, I mean it was just another It's one

435
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,920
of those things that just he was given right, So

436
00:19:10,039 --> 00:19:12,519
it was it was it was a good few daysier.

437
00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 7: So so, Cheff, you kind of told us that like

438
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,640
during the games, at your game day, at your day

439
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,920
to kind of go home and chill, relax a little bit.

440
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,200
What what are you cooking for yourself or your family? Like,

441
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,400
what what are you doing at the house getting ready?

442
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,799
Are we kind of like snacking on dips all day

443
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,680
like a lot of people enjoy game day or are

444
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,519
you making like a big like long meal?

445
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 2: Not too many long meals. You know, my fiance likes

446
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,359
to cook, and so we cook in the kitchen together

447
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,880
a lot, and and you know, like dinner, there's lots

448
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,279
of pasa because my kids like pastas during the day.

449
00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:49,960
It's I think it's like, you know, fruits and vegetables.

450
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,839
I really love fruits and vegetables and eating them fresh, right,

451
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,319
So I kind of snacker. You know, like in the

452
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,400
kitchen you're not allowed to sit down and eat too

453
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,720
terribly often because it takes you away from your time

454
00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:07,680
a lot. So uh, you know, we it's it's a

455
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,839
lot of what we call eating over the trash cans,

456
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,440
tasting foods and throwing spoons away and so it's it's

457
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,440
almost a healthier way of eating too. You know, your

458
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,599
blood sugar doesn't spike it heavily, so I'm constantly kind

459
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,440
of snacking and grazing, and so you know, it's yeah,

460
00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:30,319
I do have a softness for cheese, but yeah, there's

461
00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:33,640
lots of lots of kind of snacky foods, fruitualgebles.

462
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 4: Chef to go back to the Gator real quick, how

463
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,039
many players did you have to maybe like try to

464
00:20:40,279 --> 00:20:43,519
talk in to try and said gator, Like, was there anybody,

465
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:46,160
because you know, there's players from all over the country,

466
00:20:46,279 --> 00:20:49,400
Like certainly the guys from Louisiana, they've they've probably had gator,

467
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,960
they've certainly tried that before, maybe this around Mississippi and Texas.

468
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,319
But from the guys that are from you know, the

469
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,440
West coast or up north or whatever, like, did you

470
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,440
have to do with some real selling to them?

471
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 2: I think the ones that you have to do selling

472
00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:06,599
to are kind of from the inner cities sometimes, And

473
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,680
to be to be honest with you, it's I don't

474
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,400
go and seek with trying to convince them. I first

475
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,799
go and seek with convincing my employees who are like,

476
00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:17,559
oh no, I'd never eat that because if I can

477
00:21:17,599 --> 00:21:20,680
convince them to eat it and they like it, then

478
00:21:20,519 --> 00:21:22,279
that I that I have a team of people who

479
00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:24,480
are also saying, oh, no, you should try it. It's

480
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,759
actually really good. Like I don't eat that kind of stuff,

481
00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:29,559
But you know, chef knows what Chef knows what he's doing.

482
00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:32,440
And I've built trust with a couple of people I got.

483
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,759
I got a couple of kind of stubborn ones in

484
00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:38,279
my kitchen that they don't like trying new stuff, but

485
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,599
they trust me enough to try stuff if I asked

486
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,279
them to. And it's usually a win, you know, very seldom,

487
00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:47,759
isn't it. Now I didn't like that, you know, it's

488
00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:51,119
sometimes it's oh that's interesting. You know, I'm not in

489
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,160
love with it, but I would probably eat that again,

490
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,240
or they've had a bad experience with it before. So

491
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,759
my first approach is to approach, you know, the ones

492
00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:02,319
that and kind of test the waters with the more

493
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,599
with the more uh not with lack of better word, stubborn,

494
00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:10,599
uh you know, tasters in my kitchen and and kind

495
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,599
of work for them to do the same thing. And

496
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,680
that usually that usually works really well for me.

497
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,039
Speaker 7: Chef, I hope you can help us, like settle a

498
00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:22,920
great debate we have here between Hester and I. If

499
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,359
you close your eyes and just picture the perfect taco.

500
00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:29,759
Speaker 5: Oh is it?

501
00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:33,519
Speaker 7: Is it a tortilla or is it a hard shell taco?

502
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,759
Speaker 2: No, it's like a street taco, you know, like a

503
00:22:36,839 --> 00:22:40,480
corn soft corn corn tortilla made from maize. You know,

504
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,599
like I like street tacos. I like linguis. I like

505
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,880
tongue in my top, you know, tongue tacos. I like

506
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,599
pork belly tacos, and lots of lots of accoutre monts, right,

507
00:22:50,799 --> 00:22:55,480
like pickled pickled onions and cheese, and and probably five

508
00:22:55,519 --> 00:22:58,720
different types of salsa. Right. But and and I like

509
00:22:59,279 --> 00:23:01,799
I like the double up the tortillas too, you know.

510
00:23:01,839 --> 00:23:03,880
And some people don't do this, but I'll take those

511
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,720
corn tortillas and put them on a flat grill and

512
00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:08,799
toast them a little bit, just to warm them up

513
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:11,480
and give them a little bit of structure. Because people,

514
00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:13,200
when you steam them, they get a little too soft

515
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,519
and tear too easy for me. So I like to

516
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:17,720
put them on a grill and and toast them just

517
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,319
just real slightly. I think they hold together better that way.

518
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,880
And I like the the you know, like the browning

519
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,240
that that that browning flavor. You know, it just adds

520
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,920
to the texture and the quality of the suit.

521
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 5: Thank you, chef.

522
00:23:30,039 --> 00:23:32,319
Speaker 7: This uncultured swine that I have to sit next to

523
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,480
every single day thinks that a hard shell taco is

524
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:37,480
the only type of taco.

525
00:23:37,519 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 3: I didn't now.

526
00:23:38,759 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 4: I said, like, y'all are you were like baffled that

527
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,960
we have hard shell tacos. They're incredible, Okay, another heartshell

528
00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:49,599
since I was like, Katie will take like a flower

529
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,319
tortilla and fry it up and like that's the taco

530
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:53,359
shell and it's incredible.

531
00:23:54,079 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, sound good, chef.

532
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 4: I was just saying there's other options where this guy

533
00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:00,960
speaking in absolutes, like having a soft tortilla was the

534
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,039
only way you could have it.

535
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,519
Speaker 2: Yeah. Truth being known, I've never met a tackle I

536
00:24:04,519 --> 00:24:05,000
didn't like.

537
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 4: Thank you, chef. It's like it's like a piece of pizza.

538
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,200
It's like I like pizza from here.

539
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:10,799
Speaker 5: I don't really like it.

540
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, maybe, but I'm gonna eat it.

541
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. That's kind of the different pizza of calzo. Right,

542
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,200
Like somebody just tripped and fell.

543
00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:26,759
Speaker 3: And no question about it.

544
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 4: Uh, chef, you know you told us about this kind

545
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
of get away just real quick from the food portion

546
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,279
of it, because I'm starving now.

547
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 5: Uh.

548
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 4: You told us like this team was was special as

549
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,880
far as like the meals they had together and the

550
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,799
time they spent together and just kind of some of

551
00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:45,039
the conversations that.

552
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 3: That you were hearing.

553
00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 4: And I think last week was like a great example

554
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,160
of that because you know, we you know, for playing

555
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,640
football too hard, gets kicked out of the football game

556
00:24:53,799 --> 00:24:55,960
and then like Wes, his brother steps up and then

557
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,200
he goes down and then here comes another week's brothers

558
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,200
and Devon Key's played in credible so like those things

559
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,359
that you told us, like you're seeing it play out

560
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,039
in real time, like on the actual football field as well.

561
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't say this before, but you just said

562
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,759
something that touches on it, and I think it's it's

563
00:25:12,799 --> 00:25:15,640
to be said. There's I think three sets of brothers

564
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,759
on this team, man, And you know, like as a brother,

565
00:25:19,079 --> 00:25:20,880
you know, I know how much I care for my brother,

566
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,200
even though we don't always agree on everything. You know,

567
00:25:24,279 --> 00:25:26,960
like with if my brother's on that football team, I'm

568
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,880
fighting tooth and nail. Like my brother and I may fight,

569
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,000
but damn the man that gets right and that that

570
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:37,240
builds an even larger I think kind of a passion

571
00:25:37,319 --> 00:25:39,640
towards what you're trying to do. And we've got three

572
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,960
sets of brothers on this team. That's that's pretty special, man.

573
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,440
And you know, watching them interact and kind of pick

574
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,839
on each other a little bit but also protect each

575
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,599
other a little bit. As a human being, I think

576
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,319
that you have to appreciate.

577
00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:57,279
Speaker 7: That, Chef. We just came off a big week. It

578
00:25:57,319 --> 00:25:59,400
was four a week. Now we're playing Southeastern, so we

579
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,880
kind of all know that's kind of a little bit

580
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:01,920
of a purple jersey game.

581
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 5: But you're you're with these kids.

582
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 7: You see these kids every single day, and Jake and

583
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,440
I talk about how when we had the kind of

584
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,319
the purple jury, like the the the dip and I

585
00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:12,640
guess competition if you will, the week was like you

586
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,000
had to rely on leadership. You had to like really

587
00:26:16,039 --> 00:26:18,559
be cognizant of the fact that I got a prep

588
00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:20,519
just like I did last week for the big game.

589
00:26:20,599 --> 00:26:22,359
So like, you get to spend every single week with

590
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,200
these guys and you've seen them all week, Like, so,

591
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,480
how are how do these guys, how does this team,

592
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,240
how does the culture react to these types of week.

593
00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 5: Have you seen anything different?

594
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,559
Speaker 2: No, this ship doesn't steer differently. Brother. These kids stay focused, man.

595
00:26:35,559 --> 00:26:37,519
And that's the beautiful thing about it. Brother. You know,

596
00:26:37,599 --> 00:26:41,160
like there's no reaction or or unreaction. You know, they

597
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,079
come in, they eat the same that, you know what

598
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,799
I mean like it And that's what I love about

599
00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:47,920
them is they're not reacting in that way. They're not

600
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,079
overreacting in any way, you know, like I media is

601
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,119
everywhere now and and I'm kind of baffled at the

602
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,359
fact that they can maintain that, to be honest with you,

603
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,440
because it's to to be emotional as to be human.

604
00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:03,960
But I think they managed it exceptionally well. They're super

605
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,759
resilient and and you know they have a brotherhood of

606
00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:11,160
teammates around them, you know, to support you know when

607
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,960
they're struggling, and you know, it's it's it's something pretty

608
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,200
special to watch, you know that.

609
00:27:17,519 --> 00:27:19,799
Speaker 4: Jeff, What we got on the menu today? Have we

610
00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:21,799
already laid it? I don't think it's nine thirty. I'm

611
00:27:21,799 --> 00:27:24,559
sure you've already had to feed a ton of people

612
00:27:24,839 --> 00:27:25,599
already today.

613
00:27:25,799 --> 00:27:31,519
Speaker 2: And yeah, chicken and offls for breakfast. We have salmon

614
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,680
for lunch. I'm trying to think what I've seen because

615
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,119
I've been kind of in the office this morning a

616
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,720
little bit. But gosh, you just me, what's going on?

617
00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 3: What's on the menu today? Actually that I don't know.

618
00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 5: I don't know, man.

619
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 2: You know, they're doing really well with.

620
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,319
Speaker 3: It, so it's going great. Everything's going great there.

621
00:27:54,759 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 4: Look, Jeff, you look, you had a big assignment last

622
00:27:57,279 --> 00:27:59,359
week with the Gator, so we'll give you a pass here.

623
00:27:59,839 --> 00:28:02,119
That was that was you know, that was the main thing.

624
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,200
We had to make sure that we had Gator. This

625
00:28:04,279 --> 00:28:07,240
is a show full of Gator haters, and the team

626
00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:08,079
got to enjoy Gator.

627
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 5: So you're good.

628
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 2: Well, you know what it is is. I went on

629
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,920
I went on a high fence ranch hunt with some

630
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,440
of the guys back six months ago, and and one

631
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,079
of the one of the videos was released today and

632
00:28:21,079 --> 00:28:23,839
and uh it, I've been kind of really in that

633
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,279
because for the first for the first time, I cooked

634
00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:29,240
heart and it was a gins Bach heart and it

635
00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:31,519
was an extraordinary experience and I got to share that

636
00:28:31,599 --> 00:28:36,799
with some really incredible people. And so you know, my

637
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,640
mind has kind of been with that heart this morning,

638
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,920
because you know, when you kill a creature. I think

639
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,000
there's the spiritual side of it as well. That you know,

640
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,119
I consume as much as that of the animal as

641
00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:49,279
I can, and the heart more specifically, you know. And

642
00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:51,720
so that was one of the that was one of

643
00:28:51,759 --> 00:28:54,240
the times I one of the first times I cooked

644
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,200
heart for you know, like it was a wild game

645
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,640
heart and it was I was feeding some of the

646
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,519
guys that I worked with on a day to day

647
00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:02,680
basis in the in the football team. So it was

648
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:03,680
a really special moment.

649
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 3: Man, all right there he is our guy.

650
00:29:06,599 --> 00:29:10,079
Speaker 4: Chef Michael Johnson joins us every single week, always gives

651
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,359
us just great insight, not only what's on the menu,

652
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,279
sometimes you know what's not on the menu because we're

653
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,519
trying to figure that out because we're worried about Florida.

654
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,680
We had we had a lot of caters we have

655
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,920
to take care of last week, Chef, I mean, always

656
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,079
our pleasure to catch up with you.

657
00:29:24,119 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 3: We appreciated every single week.

658
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:26,599
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

659
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,079
Speaker 5: I love that guy the best. He is the best.

660
00:29:30,359 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 7: Although I saw that when you when you when you

661
00:29:32,079 --> 00:29:34,119
kill an animal, you're supposed to eat the heart raw

662
00:29:35,559 --> 00:29:36,119
still beating.

663
00:29:36,279 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 5: I don't know you doing that.

664
00:29:38,599 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 7: No, I know that when I first my first year,

665
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,720
my dad did put like blood on my chee.

666
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,119
Speaker 2: Whatever.

667
00:29:44,319 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't hate. Don't hate on fish sticks either.

668
00:29:48,039 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 5: I'm not hating on fish delicious. Okay, I didn't hate on.

669
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 7: Fish I don't know, Okay, So this is what I said.

670
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,279
Speaker 5: I just made this point in the chat.

671
00:29:56,319 --> 00:30:01,279
Speaker 7: Like hardshell tacos, they're kind of equivalent to fishticks to me, like,

672
00:30:01,319 --> 00:30:03,119
sure they taste good and they taste fine, but at

673
00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:03,799
some point in life.

674
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,359
Speaker 5: You gotta grow up to just grow up.

675
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,079
Speaker 3: I don't want to grow up.

676
00:30:07,279 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 5: I'm a toys the kid, and.

677
00:30:09,119 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 7: I grow up to be like like your age or anything,

678
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:13,960
but get past nine.

679
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 3: I still eat cereal every night.

680
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,319
Speaker 5: That's true with the cartoon character on the mark.

681
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,519
Speaker 7: So the hard show Taco thing tracks like cereal is

682
00:30:21,559 --> 00:30:23,279
great and I'll eat every now and then. I love

683
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:25,599
a fishtick. I love a chicken like I love an

684
00:30:25,599 --> 00:30:27,839
animal shaped chicken nuggy may it's fine.

685
00:30:28,079 --> 00:30:29,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't know your pallet was so mature.

686
00:30:30,319 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 7: But I'm not eating you know. It's not like my

687
00:30:32,119 --> 00:30:34,319
go to, but I dabble. But at some point you

688
00:30:34,319 --> 00:30:36,400
gotta grow up and just eat normal shaped chicken nuggets.

689
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,119
Speaker 3: Some of you didn't grow up rednecks in the shows.

690
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 5: That's okay. We're ball on a budget.

691
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 3: We made the most of those fish sticks and they

692
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,039
were delicious.

693
00:30:42,039 --> 00:30:43,559
Speaker 5: I ate so many fish that I like to dip

694
00:30:43,559 --> 00:30:45,759
in mustard. Kind of weird.

695
00:30:46,839 --> 00:30:50,039
Speaker 7: What Yeah, but I look back at like when he

696
00:30:50,079 --> 00:30:52,559
as an adult, you do you fish with a lot

697
00:30:51,759 --> 00:30:54,680
of sauces and the same thing as mustard.

698
00:30:54,759 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 3: Frozen teqtos.

699
00:30:56,559 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 7: That's well done, Matsi Thirtino's pizza, well done. Oh yeah,

700
00:31:01,759 --> 00:31:05,599
that was the best. Yeah, Totina, don't try to give

701
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:06,559
me another cheap pizza.

702
00:31:06,599 --> 00:31:08,279
Speaker 4: That's the one, the one I want. Flavor, that's the

703
00:31:08,319 --> 00:31:10,480
one I want. And hey we agree there you go.

704
00:31:10,519 --> 00:31:12,839
Look at that, look at us. Would have thought, all right,

705
00:31:13,319 --> 00:31:13,759
we will.

706
00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:16,119
Speaker 3: We'll get you some.

707
00:31:18,359 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 4: Big dealer, no big deal when we come back here

708
00:31:20,759 --> 00:31:21,319
on O TV.

709
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: Off the bench. You know what goes great with frozen pizzas?

710
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure too, lots of them.

711
00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 3: I mean think about it. Elite combination, little.

712
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,279
Speaker 7: Cold pizza, little do sequis, chilling at a tailgate.

713
00:31:39,559 --> 00:31:42,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you can get your do sequis and be

714
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,000
ready to go for the tailgate this weekend. Go for dose,

715
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,799
enjoy that ice chests full of dose, Sekis.

716
00:31:48,839 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 5: It's gonna get you right for game day.

717
00:31:50,279 --> 00:31:53,279
Speaker 4: You're gonna enjoy sitting there and watching all those games

718
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:55,480
that we talked about a little bit earlier. Right before

719
00:31:55,519 --> 00:31:58,000
you head into Tiger Stadium. At the tailgate, it is

720
00:31:58,039 --> 00:32:00,440
always a great time to go for douce.

721
00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, you ever likes as a man like you know,

722
00:32:03,759 --> 00:32:06,319
packing the car up perfectly is awesome. But like another

723
00:32:06,359 --> 00:32:09,559
great feeling is a beautifully packed ice chest, like when

724
00:32:09,599 --> 00:32:11,240
you line it all up with the ice, put up

725
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,079
a good layer of ice and put another that's even

726
00:32:13,079 --> 00:32:15,359
better when it's dose seconds when I say a beautiful

727
00:32:15,359 --> 00:32:17,839
green bottle, beautiful green can with the two xes on it. Man,

728
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,000
go for dose. We know we got another home game.

729
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,079
We got to show up, We got to show out.

730
00:32:22,599 --> 00:32:24,519
Delete some beers do it responsibly.

731
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 5: Go for dose. Stay thirsty with my.

732
00:32:26,079 --> 00:32:44,079
Speaker 9: Friends waiting for you. Ass away from you.

733
00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:58,559
Speaker 1: Broke from the locker room to the airwaves.

734
00:32:58,759 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 3: It's off the bench. Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn, Welcome

735
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:08,000
back in.

736
00:33:08,039 --> 00:33:12,519
Speaker 4: It is OTB here live from pro Dreams on burbankprodash

737
00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:15,759
dreams dot com. Check out their shop and the memorabilia

738
00:33:15,839 --> 00:33:18,079
they've got here. Come see them this weekend when you

739
00:33:18,079 --> 00:33:23,200
try and watch the Tigers play. All right, let's do

740
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,480
a little big deal, no big deal, and I know

741
00:33:25,599 --> 00:33:28,440
that you know we're here, Our great producers are back

742
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,359
in the studio, so it's okay, we can still get

743
00:33:31,359 --> 00:33:31,960
this done.

744
00:33:32,079 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 3: I'll go first, and Flynn can go.

745
00:33:34,079 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 4: We'll turn ourselves down and then you all can answer

746
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,799
there back in studio. You don't have to worry about

747
00:33:39,079 --> 00:33:40,960
the sounder here because you know what, we can't hear

748
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,240
it anyways. And so we'll go ahead and we'll get

749
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,279
this started and I'll start it off. Big deal or

750
00:33:46,319 --> 00:33:52,680
no big deal. The NCAA eliminates this spring transfer portal window,

751
00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:56,319
so college football is officially moving to a single off

752
00:33:56,319 --> 00:33:58,279
season transfer portal window.

753
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,799
Speaker 7: That's a big deal, certainly is. I guess this is

754
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:11,679
probably the Tennessee UCLA situation, kind of the knee jerk

755
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,880
reaction from that. But I'm sure that any anytime you

756
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,880
put restrictions on something, anytime you start to tighten up

757
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,239
the rules, I think coaches around the country breathe a

758
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,719
sigh relief because what they don't want is the wild,

759
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,639
wild West. And every year it gets a little bit

760
00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:28,639
tighter and tighter, and I think that's what they want.

761
00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:31,719
As long as a coach and an organization knows what

762
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,920
the rules are and they're clear and they're fair, then

763
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,519
they know how to work. And I think this kind

764
00:34:36,519 --> 00:34:39,760
of helps that, Like they get their roster secured and

765
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,679
they know their roster is going to be their roster

766
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,760
at an earlier date, which helps coaches, what helps planning. Now,

767
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,599
it puts a little limitations on the player and his

768
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,960
options at some point of the year if things don't

769
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,239
go their way. But you know, I think the coaches

770
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,480
and organizations, but we're probably a big catalyst and getting

771
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:00,199
this push through.

772
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 3: All right, Landra Tata.

773
00:35:04,039 --> 00:35:06,079
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think this is a big deal. Yeah, for

774
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,840
all the reasons that Matt just said. I mean, it

775
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,239
has kind of just been the wild West in terms

776
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,199
of not only an IL but the transfer portal as well,

777
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,639
and just everybody was kind of allowed to do whatever

778
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:21,360
they wanted. So in terms of there being a role

779
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,599
in place, finally, even though there were some like, yeah,

780
00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:26,599
this is a pretty big deal.

781
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 5: All right, Well, I hate to go chalk, but yeah,

782
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:31,559
big deal.

783
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,199
Speaker 11: I think it's a big deal because I think it

784
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,320
kind of puts a control on things that. Frankly, I

785
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,920
think needed to be a little bit controlled. I understand

786
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,159
a lot of people said, oh, well, you know, this

787
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,719
gives more power to the players. Players kind of had

788
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,480
all the power. Now, whether you're four or against that

789
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,480
is entirely up to you. But like Matt said, it

790
00:35:50,559 --> 00:35:53,079
helps you kind of plan out your roster a little

791
00:35:53,079 --> 00:35:56,360
bit better. You know what you have at an earlier date.

792
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,800
I mean, look, you had the spring portal window, you

793
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,960
had the fall portal window. The players at Virginia Tech

794
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,159
and UCLA are able to enter the portal now that

795
00:36:04,159 --> 00:36:06,840
their coaches are fired. I mean, it was a free

796
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,400
for all everywhere. This kind of controls stuff just a

797
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,719
little bit. So I think it's good for the game.

798
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:12,599
I think it's a big deal.

799
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,079
Speaker 3: All right, Matthew, what you got there, sir?

800
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 5: All right?

801
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,519
Speaker 7: Big deal, No big deal. Chicago Bears head coach Ben

802
00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:26,639
Johnson stated recently, after this past week they started Bears

803
00:36:26,639 --> 00:36:30,519
that started owing two, that the practice habits of his

804
00:36:30,639 --> 00:36:34,440
team has not yet been reflective of a championship caliber team.

805
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,960
Players not finishing going through the football, doing things that

806
00:36:38,039 --> 00:36:40,920
are tight, that are that are taught at a high

807
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:41,840
school level.

808
00:36:42,519 --> 00:36:44,119
Speaker 5: Is this a big deal? No big deal.

809
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,519
Speaker 3: That's not good. I think it's a big deal. That's

810
00:36:47,559 --> 00:36:47,960
not good.

811
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:48,159
Speaker 2: Man.

812
00:36:48,199 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 4: That tells me you're far away, you aren't even close.

813
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,719
You aren't in the realm of where you need to be.

814
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,280
And that tells me that you know the person that

815
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,800
left you that obviously didn't have a great culture either.

816
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,000
But the more troublesome thing is you've been there long

817
00:37:04,079 --> 00:37:06,880
enough to create your own culture and try to implement

818
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,519
your own culture, and it hasn't stuck. Like the players

819
00:37:10,679 --> 00:37:14,760
aren't taking buying what you're selling right now, it's a massive.

820
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 5: Well, it's weak. It's weak too.

821
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,679
Speaker 7: When I was looking at this, I thought to myself,

822
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,800
do I like him saying this publicly in a press conference?

823
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,039
And I think the answer for me is yes, because

824
00:37:27,079 --> 00:37:29,000
as long as he said it to his team first,

825
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,760
like if as long as his team's not getting that

826
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,840
message through the media or watching it on TV in

827
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,440
like the team dining hall and hearing that from their

828
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,000
head coach, sending a message early of your expectation for

829
00:37:41,039 --> 00:37:43,760
a team, sending it loud and clear, making no qualms

830
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,679
about the kind of kind of organization that you want

831
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,880
to run, and that they're not hitting those marks.

832
00:37:49,079 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, you could see.

833
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,639
Speaker 7: Frustration on him at the at the end of the

834
00:37:52,639 --> 00:37:56,719
game this past weekend against the Lions too. So yeah,

835
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,639
to your point, I think it's okay because he's setting

836
00:37:58,639 --> 00:38:00,719
a culture. He's telling what's it expected of them and

837
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,719
they're not hitting the mark and he's letting the world know.

838
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:07,760
So if you're a Caleb Williams and that's your team, man,

839
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,360
you better the message better be received loud and clear.

840
00:38:12,159 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's there's nothing to guarantee that Caleb Williams is

841
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:16,960
going to be a b R C.

842
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 5: And those flashes and he did improve from week one

843
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:20,760
to week.

844
00:38:20,639 --> 00:38:23,159
Speaker 3: Two his college had he had flashes in college.

845
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 4: The flashes are great, but to be an NFL dude,

846
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,760
you've got to be consistent those flashes.

847
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 3: Like I'm trying to let me think.

848
00:38:33,679 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 4: Of a of a quarterback like okay.

849
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 3: Brock party like Brock Party.

850
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 4: Like the flashes aren't flashy, but the consistency is there.

851
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:44,079
So like you got to be careful falling in love

852
00:38:44,119 --> 00:38:45,320
with the flashes, as you know.

853
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 7: And I'm a big believer in Ben Johnson's offense. I

854
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,360
think he's really too. Detroitans were incredible last year. Their offense.

855
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 4: I love, Love Love, but also to the point the

856
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,559
players that were running that offense have bought into Dan

857
00:38:58,599 --> 00:39:00,639
Campbell's mentality is for sure.

858
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,159
Speaker 7: So that he's got to set that mentality too. And

859
00:39:03,639 --> 00:39:05,239
Caleb oys is being asked to do things he's never

860
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:06,880
had to do before. So there is gonna be a

861
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,320
little bit of a wearing curve there. Wondre tey what

862
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:09,800
y'all think.

863
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 11: I think it's a big deal. You know, talking about

864
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:19,000
bad habits. Ben Johnson like all that. That was the

865
00:39:19,039 --> 00:39:21,400
reason I didn't like Cayleb Williams coming into the NFL,

866
00:39:21,519 --> 00:39:24,719
because I thought he had some bad habits. But you know,

867
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,559
we're talking about Caleb in all this. Go back and

868
00:39:28,599 --> 00:39:32,360
look at Lincoln Riley. Everyone talks about Lincoln Riley as

869
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,000
kind of this QB guru, but look at the ones

870
00:39:35,039 --> 00:39:38,840
that have succeeded in the NFL. Baker had a coach

871
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,639
before Lincoln Riley. Jalen Hurts had a coach before Lincoln Riley.

872
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,239
I mean he taught Caleb Williams, and I mean they

873
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,440
did good things together in college. Caleb kind of regressed

874
00:39:48,639 --> 00:39:51,159
under Lincoln Riley from year one to year two, So

875
00:39:51,159 --> 00:39:52,920
I mean it's kind of an indictment all the way

876
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,199
around on a lot of different people.

877
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,079
Speaker 10: Yeah, it feels like a big deal because it's just

878
00:39:58,159 --> 00:40:02,159
a bad culture a vibe over there because of that.

879
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:03,920
So that yeah, big deal.

880
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,119
Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, I think it's I think it's a

881
00:40:09,159 --> 00:40:11,320
massive deal. They the Bears.

882
00:40:12,639 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 4: I know it's early in his tenure, but they feel

883
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,440
like they got to change some things.

884
00:40:16,519 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 7: And when you're an NFL team, when you're an NFL

885
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,119
team and your team gets called out for effort by

886
00:40:21,159 --> 00:40:21,920
your head coach.

887
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 4: After when when high school gets thrown out there this

888
00:40:24,079 --> 00:40:28,679
effort that is not good. That is not where you

889
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,440
want to be. And yeah, they a lot of people

890
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:32,000
think they might.

891
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 5: Be the worst team in the NFL right now.

892
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:38,559
Speaker 4: It's bad shocker their defense and not the worst roster either.

893
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 5: Who's gone her defense again. I think he's a naggy. Yeah,

894
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,000
he's got no cakes.

895
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 3: No cakes, weak chin, mister Dennis Allen.

896
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 4: All right, we'll take a break and when we come back,

897
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,199

00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:46,840

Speaker 5: What if my parking pass isn't near here, I.

963
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 3: Don't give a damn about your parking pass. My guy

964
00:44:16,599 --> 00:44:21,119
touch grass walk a little bit. I do it like

965
00:44:21,159 --> 00:44:21,559
a night game.

966
00:44:21,599 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 4: Let's just do it early, Like how about like we

967
00:44:23,119 --> 00:44:25,079
just come watch college game day here or something.

968
00:44:25,679 --> 00:44:26,599
Speaker 3: I did that last weekend.

969
00:44:26,679 --> 00:44:29,039
Speaker 5: It was left on. Okay, let's do it.

970
00:44:29,159 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 7: We do need to organize an OTB tailgate, though, that

971
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,760
would be fun.

972
00:44:36,519 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 5: South Carolina. Can I interest you in that?

973
00:44:39,679 --> 00:44:41,199
Speaker 3: I was thinking more Western Kentucky?

974
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 4: Okay, because more relaxed, more chill, more chill, guaranteed night game.

975
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,000
You know, one of those ones where you can like,

976
00:44:52,119 --> 00:44:53,920
you know, we're sitting here, we're shooting the bull, We're

977
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,960
talking about how great things are, but we're not really

978
00:44:56,039 --> 00:45:00,239
worried about, you know, the outcome of the game. Maybe

979
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,480
I'm wrong, I mean, because you know me, I'd actually like,

980
00:45:03,559 --> 00:45:05,199
I'd rather do.

981
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:06,679
Speaker 3: It against A and M.

982
00:45:07,079 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 4: That'd be awesome because I want to, like, I want

983
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,599
to have that feeling of playing a major opponent.

984
00:45:11,639 --> 00:45:13,079
Speaker 5: So it took to you all. I'm just I'm giving

985
00:45:13,079 --> 00:45:13,679
you options.

986
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 7: Western was like with your job on Western Kentucky a

987
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,320
little bit low, like can you have a couple more pops?

988
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 5: And what I was thinking, you have a couple more pops.

989
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,920
Before that you might have decoded.

990
00:45:24,679 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 3: What I was trying to steer.

991
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 5: You just want to drink more? Got it? Perfect? That's cool.

992
00:45:29,519 --> 00:45:31,119
Speaker 7: That's why you want to go early too, so you

993
00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:33,280
have some breakfast beers, go take a little napski in

994
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:37,000
