Speaker 1: Let's all start to you to presents. Off the bench

Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, Off the.
Speaker 1: Bench with Jacob Hester and C Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: It is I gotta come off the bench.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob aber.

Speaker 3: Y'all?
Speaker 2: Welcome man do a brand new episode of O TV.
It is Wednesday, February twelve, twenty twenty five. Hope everyone
out there is having a great day. And you have
a new New Orleans Saints had football coach. How about it? Yeah,
obviously we kind of knew this was going to have him,
but Kellen Moore officially named the new Orleans Saints head coach.
I'm sure a press conference incoming today and then that's
the press we had. Actually, I imagine it would be
today or tomorrow perhaps, so we'll get into all of that.
Jay Johnson, speaking on This Batter Up Show last night,
revealed some starting positions for LLAWSU baseball. We got some
crud and talk, no flustering. Today Matt Flinn had something
he could not miss, So we will turn our two
into a bit of a college football news hour. Have
some fun there and who knows what's sinanigans. We'll get
into in our number three. I'll ever take the inflster
of the dayDay at least if nothing else. What's going on? Jake? Welcome?
You're still sick. You probably shouldn't have come back. How
are you? How are we feeling today?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: We're here. Uh, you know, didn't.
Speaker 4: I didn't want to miss a couple of days in
a row, missed a couple of days of the afternoon
show in a row. So we'll see if we can
get back on track and get into some sort of
a routine here after being on the road for a
long time and getting out of the routine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a worst feeling ever.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Alandra, what's up girl? How you doing this morning?
Speaker 5: Didn great? I'm getting back into my morning workouts. Yes,
I love so, I feel great. I feel ready to
conquer the day.
Speaker 2: So you already already worked out today? And doorphins pumping?
Speaker 6: Yeah, power hours hell yeah.
Speaker 5: Talk which we're about to do like a little event
next month that's going to be super fun and maybe free.
Speaker 6: Lululemon's involved in it, so.
Speaker 2: Oh man, who's Luli.
Speaker 6: I'll give you some details when I know more.
Speaker 2: Free Lulu Lemon, she and jail.
Speaker 6: Yeah, free Lulu till lulufreem.
Speaker 2: Of all. We had our first wet check Wednesday of
twenty twenty five. Yep, yep yeah. We have not been
able to yet until today. And gotta say, guys, I go,
I achieved top three wetness today. I mean maybe not
like Marianna Trench, but nonetheless I was Mariana drenched, you know,
absolutely soaked leaving that class. So I too, am currently
riding high on the endorphin bush Tata. I sent you
a monster energy meme at about ten thirty last night
which sparked you to start your day with a white
glacier monster, the exact monster that was in the meme.
How we feel it?
Speaker 7: You know, I want to thank you because every morning
I go to the gas station and I'm my, guys,
what are we gonna have? What are we going to
expose my body to this morning? And you helped me decide.
So I do appreciate it makes my morning a whole
lot easier every morning.
Speaker 2: Every morning we go to the gas station, you can
pick out a random energy drink.
Speaker 7: Not random, I mean I got I got my go
to two or three's mid look. Sometimes if there's a
good like two for five, say oh you can pass
up one.
Speaker 6: I think this a good daily thing.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, the energy drink checkout ESPN story every day.
Speaker 2: I want to keep energy drink of the day day.
I want to keep energy exactly. Yes, I also want
to keep ah. I want to keep a running tallly
of the different kinds. Like maybe just like create a
board somewhere at Google doc so we can really see
where your preferences lie and what your favorite energy drinks.
I want to maybe we can spin into a little
sponsy for you.
Speaker 7: I wanted to appease everyone because you obviously recommended the
white Jake is all about health.
Speaker 8: This one here, guys, only ten calories?
Speaker 2: Can we go? You know, you know, I'm not sure
the chemicals are good on an everyday basis, But hey, man,
nona make you fat?
Speaker 7: Zero sugars, six carbs, like we're good?
Speaker 2: Dude? Is there any elderberry in there's.
Speaker 6: A true test?
Speaker 8: I don't think so.
Speaker 6: I have ice vanilla berry, and it's so fire.
Speaker 2: Ice vanilla berry. Energy drinks, y'all are boats just cranking
energy drinks behind the glass today sugar free damn well
so and now yours, as aspertaining, You've got something in it? Yeah,
yeah yeah. If aspertains a thing that gets me, then I've.
Speaker 6: Got to let it. Let it be.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean.
Speaker 6: You know, let me some diet coke.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've been putting uh, mushrooms in my coffee. Uh,
like like lions Maine or something. I don't know exactly.
It's probably like a placebo effect.
Speaker 7: That that's something you shouldn't be able to buy in
a Starbucks. That sounds like like a black market Internet?
Speaker 2: Why didn't buy it in a Starbucks? To be fair?
I dump it in there from home, Yes, I agree, Uh,
doesn't have any sale slibbing in there though, nothing like
early in the morning, no, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 7: Scratching himself Google and he's like, where can I get
this lions man?
Speaker 2: There lies the most interesting part of the placebo effect though,
right by its very definition. If you are feeling the
placebo effect and it is working, whether it's physiologically working
or not, you are feeling it, right. So that's kind
of how I feel with it. So we're gonna keep
this lines main train rolling, all right. So let's go
ahead and get today's show started.
Speaker 1: It's time to get to work courtesy of Tiger Labor
and Staffing, where they can help take care of screening, training,
payroll and more.
Speaker 2: Now for starters, Hey, guys, owner, mind you, Tiger Labor
truly vets their employees and builds relationships with them. Okay,
you know, just look at their job history. They get
to know every potential employed during their in person onboarding
process and every morning over a cup of coffee. Probably
not lines, but a cup of coffee. They also have
the shortest hiring terms in the industry at sixty days.
They do this because they understand the all the employees
they have and they want your business to succeed. Check
them out as that they're not just forty resumes to
You've ben interviewing in dispatching every one in five am.
Tiger Labor and Staffing. How about it, guys. Kellen Moore
named as the New Orleans Saints next head coach, A
man who has spent a lifetime in the game. Quite
the player, Kellen Moore was Gatorade Player of the Year
for the state of Washington, where he threw a state
record sixty seven touchdowns his senior year of high school.
He actually said the yardage record as a junior. His
father was his coach in high school. Then he goes
to Boise, dominates there. Of course, I think he finishes
fifty and three as a starter. In his time at Boise,
finishes fourth in the Heisman as a junior, nearly four
thousand yards, thirty five touchdowns, six picks, goes to your Cowboys, Tata,
and it just backs up for a few years, right,
It's like five or six. The Wikipedia's got a weird
year in there that I don't fully understand what it
went on there. And then immediately after he gets done playing,
gets into coaching and kind of starts to rocket up
the ranks. A few OC stops and here we go,
at just thirty six years old. Shout out to all
my thirty six year old brethren. At just thirty six
years old, Kellen Moore named head coach of the New
Orleans Saints. And finally, the New Orleans Saints have the
guy after the guy. You know what do we always say,
you never want to you never want to fall the
guy you're gonna fall the guy that falls, the guy
like Sean Payton. Yes he still looms large, but not
nearly to the extent that it did with Dennis Allen
and all the awkwardness there as Alan tries to prove
to himself that no, look, I can keep this going,
but it's gonna be different, but it's going to be
the same and no, no full clean set restart here
for Kellen Moore. Uh, it's a weird thing to react
to because we knew the news for a while now.
But Jake, what's your reaction upon it becoming official? I mean,
you finally actually get somebody one.
Speaker 4: I mean that was so drawn out, but you know
you had to wait until Keller Moore got done with
the Super Bowl. And I think there's a lot to
like about what he can do offensively and what he's
done in his career. And now you just have to
see is he going to be the leader of men?
Speaker 9: Like?
Speaker 4: Is he going to be able to as the guy
out there in front of the team. Is he going
to be able to you know, thrive in that situation.
Is he going to be able to be somebody that
can lead because Dennis Allen just did not. He didn't
give you any confidence. And so that's going to be
the thing with him because offensively, he's already had two
top offenses in the NFL in his career in twenty
nineteen in Dallas, and in twenty twenty one, and then
in twenty twenty two kind of, you know, got back
on track, even though he did have some injuries.
Speaker 2: They're in LA. They had another injury plague season.
Speaker 4: Remember they missed Justin Herbert, but still finished in the
middle of the pack the NFL.
Speaker 2: So his resume offensively is really really good.
Speaker 4: He's done it with different quarterbacks, he's done different styles,
He's done it a lot of different ways, and so
that part of it is exciting. And now you just
have to figure out, Okay, can he lead a team?
Can he put the right pieces together in the totality
of the roster, not just offensively.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's where on the leadership thing, I've come
around a bit. I was guilty of judging him quite frankly,
based off his face. It's a bit of a funny
looking face. I'm not even trying to be funny. I
just mean that kind of sincerely. When you think about, like,
go look at Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis celebrating the
Eagles Super Bowl and think about, Okay, you have to
have a head coach that when Hey speak, those guys
will listen and it's like, hey, is that cal Moore?
But then I think Jake. I think to his time
as a quarterback at Boise and the success that they
had as a team, and who's the biggest leader on
the team times out of ten and one was always
on a successful team, the quarterback, So I know he
can do it on the college level. And then I
look at the toxic situation that he took over in
Philly where everything was really bad, players sniping at one
another publicly and privately, friendships falling apart, and he managed
to navigate that offense, save it and get everybody to
play their best game at the biggest moment. So he's
checked off the leadership boxes. For me, my biggest question
remains the Saints front office. If you look at why
the new Orleon Saints had so much success when they
hired Sean Payton twenty years ago, which is kind of
feels like that a bit. Why did they have success?
That six draft was legendary. You got starters that lasted
for years, multiple Saints Hall of Fame members, and you
paired it with signing the quarterback. Yeah, and Drew Brees,
but when you look now there's no free agent akin,
did you your cap situation is awful, so you wanted
money to play within free agency? Anyway, you either inherit
Derek Carr and try to make the best of it,
or you cut him eat an unreasonable amount of dead money,
don't really accrue any savings and then still have to
try to make the best of it. And not only
have you not drafted particularly well in the first round
as of late, but when you have drafted well, you've
let guys walk. We've talked about it at nauseuma over
the last couple of weeks. Bond, Hendrickson, Azelone, Chauncey Gardner, Johnson.
I mean, the list is long and distinguished, and so
that's my question. I'm actually come around to being a
bit of a Kella Moore believer, and I like to
try to emulate the success that other hires have had.
Be it like Sean McVay kicking off all this so
many years ago, Mike McDaniel, Kevin O'Connell, like you two
have now hired a young offensive mine in his thirties
to be your head coach, but you pair him with
a front office that I have as little a confidence
as I ever have in the entirety of the multi
decade Mickey Loomis era. And so that's my big question mark.
Can he find success within the parameters of a front
office that seems to be continuously making mistakes as of late,
And then how quick will that success come? And how
patient are people willing to be because it's it really
kind of SAPs the energy out of the room, Jake,
when here we are starting an off season and you
want to get excited for next year, but every conversation
is like, well, you know, next year's probably going to
be pretty awful. Yeah, maybe the year after that you'll
be Okay. Now, the NFL can shock you, And I
would love to be wrong about Mickey in the front
office and about more and I hope they will shock me.
But it does still feel a little dark, even with
the excitement of a new head coach.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what I mean, no matter who the head coach was,
there was going to be challenges, and there was going
to be optimism that they could even have a winning record,
much less like get back into the postseason because of
all the challenges and so like when I you know,
kind of question, Okay, can you lead a team. It's
just because he's never done it. It's not that I
don't think he can. And you mentioned what he did
at a quarterback, and we've also mentioned for him to
go straight from being a player to a quarterback coach
the next year, it kind of shows what he's thought
of as far as inside those NFL circles. But no
matter who took this job, there was going to be
a lot of concern and there's still going to be
because of where the roster's at and you have literally
no money to spend and you've got a quarterback situation
where it's going to be your big over a fifty
million dollars cap head. It's going to be this albatross
of a contract and you know you don't love the
quarterback anyways, and so like that's where all the questions
are go want to go?
Speaker 2: And those aren't going to go away.
Speaker 4: It didn't matter if you hire Bill Belichick, those are
still going to be the questions.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, granted, like what whoever the quarterback ends up being.
Moore's resume makes you feel pretty good that he can,
you know, try to maximize strengths and and maybe mask
weaknesses a bit there and I will say this, Jake,
at the end of all this, when you look at
all the other candidates for the job, upon further reflection,
and you know, I don't know, maybe a bit of
sunshine pumping justification or something may like if you take
Aaron Glynn out of it. Out of the offensive coordinator candidates,
I actually like Moore's resume easily the best, and the
Super Bowl played a big role. I'm not gonna lie
I said that yesterday like or said that Monday. However
you felt about Moore coming in, whether you liked him,
dislike him, ambivalent towards him, the Super Bowl absolutely made
you feel better, no matter what. It's impossible not to.
But also, he's worked at a lot of different stops,
multiple different quarterbacks. He's been pretty successful everywhere. I love
the change of pace that he pulled in Philly and
frankly like a Joe Brady at Cliff Kingsbury. They don't
have that on their resume. And yes, all three of
them are coaching great quarterbacks, but Jalen Hurt's probably maybe
the least great out of those three. I don't know,
it's simply to say that, like the Aaron Glen thing,
maybe so, but out of all the other candidates, and
the end of the day, objectively, I actually think that
Kellen Moore has the best resume for the New Orleans Saints.
Will translate his sess, I don't know, but positive food for.
Speaker 4: Thought, Like if you want to compare, I don't think
Aaron Glenn ever had the number one defense in the NFL. Yeah,
he didn't have a great Yeah he never remembers. Actually
aren't like, you know, like league leading at all. Unfortunately,
guess who was right once again.
Speaker 2: The Cannon. I was talking to him like two months ago,
like in the middle of college football playoffs whatever that was,
and he was about I don't want Aaron Glenn, like
you said, look at the numbers. Yeah, they're not good.
And then he's like the guy that he's like, I
want Kellim Moore. And that was when it was still
all Brady and Glenn and everything else, And well, why
didn't you know old Bobby still got it, dude, Like
I think I'm always right, he actually is always right,
which sucks as his son, very hard to uh to
argue with. But anyway, I'm excited. I'm excited. If nothing else,
Thank God the DA era is over.
Speaker 4: I'm looking right now, Aaron Glenn twenty twenty one as
the Lions stevits coordinator, total defense thirty first and twenty
twenty one, thirty second and twenty twenty two. Oh wow,
nineteenth and twenty twenty three. Yeah, there's yeah, they're kind
of same.
Speaker 2: Cannon right, cannon right, Kellen Moore the guy? You got,
your guy? What can you do with him? What's he
gonna do at quarterback? Again? You know what I would do, guys,
I would cut Car, eat the absolutely awful number to
make your roster kind of purposely bad. I would sign
Jamis for the funds, but also because, like you probably
won't win them any games, and then you really kick
this thing in the gear of the year after, which
is an awful feeling. But I don't know, Maybe sign Jameson.
He's awesome, even though I mean, well, he probably just
goes with Car, right, Like, it doesn't really behoove you
to cut Car, except that the situation is emotionally toxic.
Speaker 4: If you had a better draft choice and you loved
a quarterback, now you still are in top ten, but
this isn't doesn't feel like a deep court like last
year's quarterback draft.
Speaker 2: Yes. Also, like there's a couple of Segur around guys
that are kind of like taking flyers on unless they
get bumped out like quarterbacks do by the end of
this thing.
Speaker 6: But I don't know.
Speaker 4: I would assume, like right now as we sit here
in February, that their car will be the quarterback.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would do. I would do. Make peace with
the guys, make peace of the Carfax stuff. Shaking your head,
Elandra Carfax, OK, top twelve quarterback in the league.
Speaker 5: I really don't know if I can continue to support
the Saints if Derek Carr is gonna continue to be
the quarterback. I mean so for real, like I need
Kellen More to get rid of him.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, it's may it may not be the
best it may not be the best path though not.
It's not gonna like it's gonna be long term. You
just may have to suffer one more year. I wish
he had showed his face.
Speaker 6: It's that's what I'm saying. Like you didn't even you
weren't even.
Speaker 2: Out here, No, like we talked about yesterday. It's it's
it's it's one of the most fascinating things I've ever
seen where the play is not bad enough to warrant
the level of hate between the two sides, but man,
the relationships toxic. Uh, we'll see, we'll see. It's your
team now, Kellen. Can you lead us back to the
Promised Land like that once you faced chucky looking Sean
Payton did twenty years ago. We will see, all right
when we get back here and off the bench, Jay
Johnson had his batter up show announced him the infield.
The officially know who will be starting come opening day
on Valentine's Day this Friday. Keep it locked, you're on,
off the bench.
Speaker 3: Off the bench, I don't much and then get down.
You see, we just give it time.
Speaker 2: If you don't hurt U.
Speaker 1: Just fancy Welcome back to the best morning sports show
around sorta. It's Off the Bench with Hester and T Bob.
Speaker 2: Won't you And welcome back to Off the Bench. Shout
out to my guy jet Pack Jesse in the chat.
He must be drinking Lions Maine as well this morning, guys,
because his third eye is fully opened. Who's the last
first round quarterback of the Saints selected fifty years.
Speaker 6: Ago, Archie Manning.
Speaker 2: Who's going to be draft eligible after this year?
Speaker 8: Archie March.
Speaker 2: Okay, guys, I mean, I mean, what are the stars aligning?
They might be now you can ruin two Manning's careers.
Uh no, I mean no, in all seriously hopefully hopefully
it would go better for arch than it did Archie.
But uh yeah, I mean kind of insane to think
about now, of course, like nuts others. And then we
talked about it yesterday. Calmore being rumored likely to bring
in Doug Nussmeyer, Garrett Nussmyer's father who is currently his
quarterback coach in Philly, bring him in as oc in
quarterbacks coach. And then Brandon Staley. Jake, would you want
to talk to you about Brandon Staley being rumored heavily
as the guy for d C. I know you ended
up not enjoy the Brandon Staley experience as a head coach.
How do you feel about him as a defensive coordinator?
Speaker 4: As a d C, He's had a lot of success,
That's why he got the head coaching job for the Chargers.
I didn't like him as far as a leader of
a team where he was the main guy. Kind of
going back to the last conversation, he left a lot
to be desired there. But if you just want to
go off him sticking with his side of the football.
When he was with the Rams, he was that young,
up and coming guy. So if look, if he's your DC,
that's one thing, head coach, No thanks, Yeah, So if
you can hire him, you know, Kellen's going to run
the offense. It's a pretty good one to two punch.
As far as your leaders on both sides of the football, well,
we'll see.
Speaker 2: I told you a few weeks ago that Mickey Lumis's
press conference at the end of the year in which
he gasled us hard than I've ever been guessed before,
in which he said, look, just because we are five
and twelve, and I'm paraphrasing here because he tell others
just just because we're five and twelve doesn't mean we're
doing anything wrong. Okay, I mean what like that quote
alone gave me ed um. I'm proud to announce though,
that goodwoodmen's sexual wellness. That's solved my problem. We are back.
It's incredibly easy. Go get a consultation. Uh, they figure
out exactly what's going on inside your body, is mental, physical, whatever,
and then they give you they fix it. Okay, and
then that's a low testosterone, rectus function, maybe hair loss,
maybe just a little energy. Right, you want to check
out some penile enhancement. It's all there at Goodwoodmen's Sexual Wellness,
your Goodwood dot Com. So if you two are suffering
from Mickey Loomis induced to rectile dysfunction, go to your
Goodwood dot com and let's no longer settle for mediocre Mickey. Okay,
that last one was a reach. Yeah, last one was
a bit of a reach. What are you gonna do?
All right? So Jay Johnson yesterday when his batter up
show and he officially started to reveal the end field
where will Stephen Milam be playing.
Speaker 9: I think my comfort is Steven has shown a really
good ability to come get the ball. His quickness moving
left and right has been good, and he's got a
good accurate arm. And because he does a good job
come and getting the ball, and he's got kind of
a really good internal baseball clock, you know we're gonna
be able to take advantage of that range. Michael has
been a very good player at doing whatever you need
him to do, whether it was two years at South
Carolina or last year here. He seems comfortable at third base.
Speaker 2: So you're gonna have we come to do this, but
but it is efficient. Now. The only question maybe was
just gonna play a second of course, Beart Jones is
gonna be a first base. You're gonna have Steven Stephen
Mylam switching over short stop. You gonna Michael Braswell moved
from short to third, and then Daniel Dickinson going to
get the start at second come Friday. How do we
feel about it? Guys?
Speaker 6: So great?
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 5: I think Michael Braswell has experience at third, so that'll
be good for him. And like Jay said, he's been
willing to move around always.
Speaker 2: Even that second at South Carolina he.
Speaker 6: Might have for a little bit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't remember his South Carolina career that much,
but yeah, I feel good about that. And he's right
about Steven Mylin where he just has that internal baseball
clock in like a high baseball IQ and that is
important to be able to go up and get the ball,
and he showed that he can do that last year.
Speaker 6: As well, even at second.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta be I mean he's got to be
a leader both, you know, a leader in his play
but also just defensively. And yeah, I'm pretty sure Braswell
played a majority second at South Carolina, then short stop,
now third. So yeah, you're putting to trust in Braswell
as well to be a leader. But I believe that
Jay Johnson never arrives at these decisions lightly and I'm
excited to watch them.
Speaker 7: Also, I think it's big just having a veteran presence
at third because I mean, think about think about how
good Tommy White was last year defensively because his first year,
you know, he was kind of crazy, he was kind
of learning the position. But like last year, he won
games for you at third base. He saved runs for
you at that spot. You need a veteran presence there.
And then you got Milam in the middle, who's your
best defender.
Speaker 8: And then right next to him.
Speaker 7: You look at any All American preseason lists, like Daniel
Dickinson's on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, one thing that there was another name that
Jay Johnson would say, now, hold no, no, no, no no,
don't overlook this guy. Uh, go ahead and play the
one on a Tanner Reeves here, Alandra.
Speaker 9: Another player that you know people aren't talking about enough
maybe and they don't know because he's new, is is
Tanner Reeves. He's a transfer from Blenn Community College, has
had a really good early spring taking good at BADS.
You know he's going to mix in a little bit
it's second base and at third base and be a
productive player for us too.
Speaker 2: So Tanner Reeves coming over from Blynn. In two years
at Blynn, he hit three ninety eight with twenty eight
home runs, one hundred and forty two ribis in twenty
eight doubles. So very productive. Bet somebody who maybe ends
up cracking that lineup in one way or another. The
main thing that all this stuff does for me is
just get me excited to go on our first date together.
That's what every new baseball season feels like to me,
is getting to know someone new and learning their quirks
and their personality and how to flirt with them and
what makes me laugh, what makes them laugh, what I like,
maybe what I don't like, and just going on this
journey together. And especially because the sports seems to be
so transient now, they really feels like you're dating a
new person every year, and that journey starts to week
and I can't wait on Valentine's Day. On Valentine's a perfect,
perfect which player will cause me to feel that prick
of Cupid arrows of Cupid's arrow. I don't know. I
wonder who it'll be, all right when we get back.
Gold says is not very impressive to the community college.
I'm numbers. I mean, I'm gonna disagree. I don't know.
I think batting four hundreds pretty badass, but I don't know.
Maybe I don't know. Bail.
Speaker 6: It's also Blenn. It's like a Texas junior college. I
don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm so dumb. I'm like, cam Newton win to
Blenn Newton. Glenn just wins championships. That's what Blenn does.
So I'm like, yeah, it's pretty damn good to me.
Willie Fritz coach there too, Probably, i'd probably, I mean, yes,
every Blenn is a championship school.
Speaker 5: We also talked about yesterday how Jay Johnson's really good
at finding diamonds in the rough and bringing out their
full potential here at this program.
Speaker 2: He is the development god, you know, and so I
can't wait to watch him with all of these new players.
And again we talked about it yesterday. Thing I'm most
concerned about still remains the staff, maybe especially from a
starting perspective for me, and getting eyes on them is
going to be fit as well. Get work, dude, It's
gonna be a beautiful It's gonna beautiful. I don't actually
know Fay Saturday, Yeah nope, Oh.
Speaker 7: Friday game, be prepared for that boy to be delayed
for about an hour. Saturday may not play it.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a metaphorically beautiful weekend at the box.
Speaker 4: I think there's even word that maybe they move Saturdays
to Friday.
Speaker 2: Tight tight, tight on Friday.
Speaker 8: Like Saturday is like eighty percent all day.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a long, metaphorically beautiful Friday at the Box.

employees every single step along the way. Okay, they're not
trying to cut corners or sneak fire squeeze efficiencies. No,
they want to make sure that from the time when
the phone is picked up through your project, which every
project is a dedicated product manager on site, they want
to make sure that you're getting the full focus you deserve.

in Lafayette, so they've got offices both, and so they're
in the local communities in both places, not driving over
here and there. They are staples in both communities. And

through all the tools they have at your disposal. They're
on the website pelicanroof dot com.
Speaker 3: It starts with.
Speaker 2: I don't know why it doesn't need no matter how
hard you try.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to more sports talk. What's some other stuff
mixed in off the bench with hester anti bomb Taylor.
Speaker 2: I think if you click more your computer is gonna
start working.
Speaker 8: Dude, I don't know what the problem is, like it's frozen.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, and I know the frustration when
a computer's frozen to just hit all the buttons and
hit them increasingly fast and anger. But I feel like
it's probably doubling down on the problem.
Speaker 7: I'm hoping I don't have to restart it because it
takes like twenty minutes to restart this.
Speaker 2: Alandra Chat wants you to choose a side Texas or
LSU this baseball season.
Speaker 6: I have always picked LSU.
Speaker 2: Okay, good, We're just making sure here, just making sure.
Speaker 6: I mean, I've made it very clear.
Speaker 2: Let's say LSU gets knocked out of the SEC tournament
or something like that and Texas is still in it,
will you cheer for Texas?
Speaker 6: See like, and I probably wrong?
Speaker 2: No, not allowed. Not for baseball.
Speaker 5: I'm not supposed to have any dog in the fight
at all unless it's.
Speaker 2: No the only other team? What what's the only other
SEC team you'd be allowed to cheer for in baseball?
It's is kind of good fall, It's like, right, I
like your ID like missing State, Alburn's.
Speaker 7: Always really bad in baseball. For them to Alburn is
usually pretty bad in baseball.
Speaker 2: I just can't I can't a good answer. Jay Johnson's boy, Yeah, yeah,
small ball. You if you need a dog in the fight,
you're allowed to cheer for Kentucky Okay, that's it.
Speaker 6: That's fine. I like Nick man Jones, maybe I would never.
Speaker 4: Have you seen on like sec social media circles people
just clowning Oklahoma's baseball.
Speaker 2: No, why which wis? What is it? Picture show pulled
it up.
Speaker 4: It's not it's not great, it's not great. I believe
the only seats laundry. I believe the only seats that
they have are like between like you know, first and
third and.
Speaker 2: Past that. Yeah. Wait, but they have like a good team, right,
aren't they good? Or is it just softball? I know
swtball is incredible, but they have the two I'm guessing
their brothers said the same last name. We went to
the D one top thirty pictures list and they had
two of the top thirty pictures, so I just assumed
they were I don't.
Speaker 4: I mean, they've been okay, they haven't been world beaters,
but people clowning their stadium even saying Rice has better
facilities than this.
Speaker 2: So okay, I gotta I gotta see somebody needs to
uh link me a tweet on this because Taylor just
put it on the screen.
Speaker 5: Like, I just want to be clear that when LSU
and Texas played each other, I always for LSU, and
I've never been like, uh, we're just making sure whatever.
Speaker 6: But like, yeah, during football season, when LSU was already
out of.
Speaker 5: The season and Texas was still in the playoffs, yes,
I was hoping Texas would go further.
Speaker 6: I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Speaker 2: Well that's the problem, isn't.
Speaker 5: It, because that LSU wasn't even in the conversation at
that point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so at that point you have to hate everything
so much that you want every single other team to
lose except for in the playoffs last year.
Speaker 6: Yeah, a little old Clemson.
Speaker 2: Texas, boy, a little old Clemson. You want to talk
about a great opening game? Just continues to get hype
that the Nuts club Nick top of the Heisman list,
both will find themselves on preseason All American lists can
have some of the best. How about this. We went
through ESPN's or no, we didn't go through it on
yesterday's show. We just talked about the LSU players that
made it. But if you look at ESPN's way too
early All American lists, guess again, so not only they
have Kate club Nick first team All American quarterback, they
got not one, but two first team All American defensive tackles.
So this new look LSU off asive line going to
be tested off the bat?
Speaker 6: What is this?
Speaker 2: Jared First and freaking Brandon Fisk all over again. I'm
not picking them to win. Their guys not picking them
to win. I hope el she does. Can't do it though,
I can't do it. Okay, do you're you're off whatever?
You can cheer for text if you want whatever.
Speaker 6: I'm not going to I'm not even party.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. It's mean to put that out there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, literally, vibe back.
Speaker 2: Here, Taylor. How's your computer? Is it working yet?

Speaker 3: What of y'all?
Speaker 2: Welcome back your little Jacob eat world, bringing your back
in real quick tea. Something I wanted to mention this morning.
Speaker 4: Because I will ford get okay, we are having a
flag football season in the springs Elite. Okay, so either
if you're playing baseball, you can still do it, but
if you're looking for something to do in the spring,
today is actually the last.
Speaker 2: Day to sign up. Okay.
Speaker 4: So NFL Flag gonna have a league over there at Elite.
So you've got two outdoor fields in the indoor as well.
Elite Training academybr dot com.
Speaker 2: If you want to play flag football in the spring,
last dady, sign up, guys, go back now. And if
you haven't been by Elite, it is truly true. Remind
blowing well, both Elite and Nasher have built over there's
pretty pretty insane man, very very nice. Absolutely loved getting
a tour of that building and whatnot. Let's go dude.
All right. So somebody in the chat said that spelly
is the lowest forms of intelligence, and it got me
thinking about what other low forms of intelligence would be. Uh,
I'm and I put together a list here, So spelling's
on there. I would say geographical knowledge.
Speaker 5: Like if you can't spell, you have low IQ's what
you're no.
Speaker 2: I think he means it like just because you can
spell doesn't mean you're smart.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: Uh, Now that said, I guess there is some bit
of irony in that. I agree with that. Like, just
because you can spell does mean you're smart, but not
being able to spell does make you seem pretty dumb,
doesn't it.
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, I would argue that.
Speaker 2: It does make you seem pretty good.
Speaker 6: Spell does make you smart, and.
Speaker 2: I would argue that a lot of people can spell.
Speaker 6: I would argue that geography.
Speaker 5: Knowing geography does make you smart too, because you have
to have a good memory for that.
Speaker 2: See. I think memorization is one of the lowest forms
of intelligence.
Speaker 6: What how what do you find it?
Speaker 2: What do you feel like?
Speaker 9: What?
Speaker 2: Are you a parrot?
Speaker 6: Maybe?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 6: And parents are considered pretty intelligent.
Speaker 2: That's you.
Speaker 6: Parents are considered pretty intelligent.
Speaker 2: They are, I guess they are for like per actually
actually very good debate counterpoint because per the Bird Kingdom,
parents are puzzle solvers. I don't think they're quite a
level of crows, but that is true. No, I think
memorizations up there, uh one that I lean on a lot,
but it's just a complete farce. Vocabulary Yeah you do, Yeah,
I mean you had me fooled until you're like, no, no, no, mean, yeah,
it's just a party trick. Me just read I can't
spell to save my life. By the way, there you go.
It's a low form intelligence doesn't matter. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: You cannot spell. Mess up easy words all the time.
Speaker 2: You know what the hardest word to spell in the
world is rhythm? Yeah, anybody spell rhythm correctly?
Speaker 8: I can spell?
Speaker 2: Okay, spell let me see. I don't even know what
it spell it, so I'm gonna fa let my computer
auto correct me.
Speaker 8: Here, you're spell r h y t h M.
Speaker 2: Well, damn son, you're pretty freaking smart. He nailed it.
I can't. I can never remember how to spell. Always.
Speaker 4: Always, when I'm spelling receiver, I always put the eye
before the end.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, no, DEMI, So you got it stepped after C.
Now it's an awful rule because there's got a million
exceptions to it, But not in receiver. What's an easy
word that you'll misspell all the time? Rhythm? I go.
Speaker 5: Receiver definitely gets me, definitely, really definitely gets me for
some reason.
Speaker 2: And it is weird the ones that just kind of
pop up in your head and gets a lot of people. Yeah,
I finally forced myself to break that down and arrest.
It's like Wednesday Wins Day every.
Speaker 7: When I was when I was little, really, because I
would do two MS one R instead of two rs.
Speaker 2: Ye. Double consonance can get a bit tricky certainly. By
the way, guys on three came out with their new
NIL evaluations for twenty twenty five, and these are just
trying to kind of say what a person's general brand
worth is. And guess who continues to shine your LSU
Tigers as the top two women on the list, both

the way evaluation of four point one million dollars right now.

Motorola Nautica American Eagle, American Eagle. Whoa, and what about
Accelerator Active Energy Huh?
Speaker 6: I know that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't still have the same you know, heartstrings
that American Eagle has for me. I mean, that's that
was the time in the life there it was great.
Jimmy Eat World was just play you said, Jacob Eat
World is Jimmy World, by the way, No, I know,

the or thing. And then Flage number two on the list,

career and her basketball career, which you're working in tandem
with one another. She got evaluation one point five million
