and this. I'm like, look, I need this. I need
What do I have to do to be able to
walk out of here with an ID that allows me
to get on a bird. She's like, well, tetch nickly
and she starts saying I was like, no, no, no, man,
ma'am ma'am, like I just need whatever I need, whatever
it says on the computer. I just I need to
get an ID walk out of here with something where
I can fly.
Speaker 6: So did you are you saying you bribed a federal agent?
Speaker 4: No, because I didn't give her anything. But I just like,
ma'am whatever, like it was gonna be thirty seven fifty
for this and forty ma'am you.

Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I did. And I'm like, look, I
don't care. I don't care. I just need an ID

Speaker 6: But you got it. I got it on July third.
Speaker 4: On July third, boy, that And.
Speaker 6: So did you take you took off your show?
Speaker 4: I took off my afternoon show.
Speaker 6: That's a big deal. That's a big commitment.
Speaker 4: So actually did cost me way more than thirty seven fifty.
I took off because I just didn't know how long
it was gonna you know, y'all kind of got me
a little nervous how long it was going to be.
I actually probably could have made like the second segment
of my show and probably done it.
Speaker 5: But you know what, So how long did it take?
Speaker 4: Total time? It wasn't I got there I got there
like it.
Speaker 5: Which one did you go to?
Speaker 4: So I'm trying to look it up right now because
I want to give a shout out to one of
our listeners that send it to me on Twitter. Shout
out to Kyle. Okay, Kyle sent it to me. It
was Neighborhood auto and tyle title sorry neighborhood shudo and
I know it's a tile shop right next. It was
kind of confusing. I think I walked in the wrong
door title on a course out to them as well.
I was there for a minute. I ain't gonna lie.
It was pretty fact, but I did kind of you know,
under three hours.
Speaker 7: So yeah, So I laughed when you sent me that
text message afterwards that you said you got it and
you're like, I was prepared, though, I felt you felt
so accomplished when she asked for a piece of paper.
Speaker 4: There was so many people that were there that they
would ask for whatever, you know, and person's just like, what, like,
I don't have that? What are you talking about? Like sorry, sorry, sorry,
not me. I had a folder. I had a green
folder and it had everything.
Speaker 6: Yeah, those people must not have had birth.
Speaker 7: Certificate mail that scared you be prepared?
Speaker 4: Original certificate. I'm like.
Speaker 7: Social original you text me said, yeah, I felt some problem,
so I whipped that dusty ass certificate.
Speaker 4: Let me tell y'all, it is hanging by a thread.
A thread. It felt like something that Nicholas Cage needed
for the next clue in National Treasure.
Speaker 7: So bad. Well you got it though. I'm proud of you.
I'm happy excited. You don't have to drive.
Speaker 4: We don't have to drive. You're coming with me?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, how it was a deal. That's that's a
cute thought.
Speaker 4: Moscona and Hunt and rivers. They could have got all.
They could have got on the plane. No, no, they
could have got on the plane. But like TV, like
Fox Fox, Yeah, the foxhole doesn't change in the air
and on the ground.
Speaker 7: But what if, like shouldn't the foxhould be like he
just makes the commitment to go get the real idea.
Speaker 4: I did. Yeah, but what I'm saying if if it
didn't come.
Speaker 6: Through, all right, I'm down for red trip, thank you.
Speaker 4: That's all.
Speaker 5: Anyway, Look, I just do fifteen hours, No.
Speaker 8: Y'all, JA get to wait three hours and get all
the trap together, like y'all drive after all that, y'all,
some fools.
Speaker 6: We could do a road trip.
Speaker 7: You could do like we could do a seven hour
like crunch, Like you could just quiz me on SEC coaches,
players stats.
Speaker 4: Well, the best part about today is you don't know
at eight thirty we're doing an SEC quarterback tierless.
Speaker 6: Oh perfect.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well I've been studying a quarterback that's not in
the SEC, so that helps.
Speaker 4: That's okay, Okay, we'll walk.
Speaker 5: Here doing Are we doing.
Speaker 4: The K Club? Is that coming today?
Speaker 7: Well, I mean you tease it, so are we doing
it today? I mean, as long as prepareses, I'd like
for it to be.
Speaker 4: You're not giving the mail kaiper Bio, I mean giving
you like.
Speaker 7: A I mean I should, though, because I'm smarter than Mel. Well, yeah,
and you've better at I'm better at diagnosing quarterbacks than Mel.
Speaker 9: I don't think anybody could argue that point.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I should probably like have something really good.
But it's gonna be our first one. We're just gonna
give opinions. I don't really have a lot of like
clips or anything because the website that I go to
watch this film on is kind of slow, so it's
a little it's a little laggy.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean your laptop is probably from the year
of Our Lord two thousand and eleven.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's a Mac though, so it doesn't matter
it fourteen years ago.
Speaker 6: No, it's from like twenty seventeen.
Speaker 4: There's no way that. Oh yea relic. Should we look
at a seventeen? Yeah, you can look it up. I
think there's a way like top of that corner maybe
about this computer.
Speaker 6: About this Mac.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 7: No, not nineteen eighty three, crazy.
Speaker 4: A little bit bigger bicker.
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh's thirteen incher twenty seventeen. Okay, there we go,
all right, And it actually hadn't really slowed down at.
Speaker 4: All except watching the film.
Speaker 6: Are you all mac? Y'all? Are all PC people?
Speaker 4: I'm whatever. Bau Wagman got me for her desk here,
but yeah, at home, that's what I have.
Speaker 6: A AC. You got a Mac?
Speaker 4: Okay, I got a Mac in the office. Now that's
a relic.
Speaker 7: I just don't like, you know, there's all we have
arguments with some coworkers about Max versus the PC situation,
blah blah blah, and I'm like, all right, whatever, because
we use PCs in our office too, because it runs
like the accounting software A little bit better. But it's
like you gotta download all this like anti virus stuff,
and I'm like, Max, don't get them, Like they just
don't get them.
Speaker 4: It's true, It's very true.
Speaker 7: They always say it's like better for work, blah blah blah.
What about all these like these crappy pop ups on you.
Speaker 4: I hadn't thought of a pop up in a very
long time.
Speaker 6: That's because you got a Mac.
Speaker 4: It's true, it's very true. Although I don't know what
this surface thing is the bow guy. It's great though.
It's touch screen is nice. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 6: It works. Hey, how are y'all rested? We had a
three day? Yeah? We had three days? People, how'd y'all do?
Speaker 4: Had three and a half?
Speaker 6: I mean, so it can go either way. You can
either be like, all right, we're gonna.
Speaker 7: Rest up, We're gonna recharge the batteries. I'm gonna get
ultra sleep. I'm gonna go bed at the same time.
Just sleep later, maybe get a grab a couple of
naps in. Or you could be like, I got three
days off, let's party a little bit.
Speaker 6: Let's stay up late.
Speaker 4: Uh, we watched We definitely stayed up late. Watched a
couple of TV shows Redid the Fireplace, which we saw
you at the hardware store. I saw you. Uh so
we spent our time redoing our fireplace. Anytime we're how
did we get stand it good?
Speaker 6: Like I was? I was impressed? Y'all? Were some d
I wires?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean, Katie, We've redone house, like seven houses.
Speaker 6: So the plaster looked good.
Speaker 4: They looked good.
Speaker 6: They were plaster in their fireplace.
Speaker 4: We did to make it look like stone. It turned
out great. Called me al Borland, Me and the kids
were there for something a little less. Y'all get that.
Speaker 5: Joe was what I was going to go.
Speaker 9: I don't know Home improvement.
Speaker 4: Okay, Taylor is Yeah, that was Tim's partner. That was okay,
Taylor is an old soul and it's probably still playing
there and I used to watch it.
Speaker 7: Remember of the show that he co hosted with with
al Borland.
Speaker 6: The name of the show, Yeah, tool Time. There we go,
now Taylor.
Speaker 4: You know Taylor's that they like? If there's like Naked Night,
trivia is getting it?
Speaker 7: Who was the first season of Home Improvement? Who was
the tool Time girl?
Speaker 9: I don't remember her name?
Speaker 4: Uh, Pamela Anderson.
Speaker 7: Pam Anderson ever heard of her? Yeah, straight from bay Watch.
But so we were we were at Low's for a
little so it's a little less productive but fun.
Speaker 6: So we just go.
Speaker 4: Walk in and I hear I hear Hesters and it's fled.
He's got a couple of his children on the flatbed there,
and I see just like all these water slides, tubes,
sprinkler system. I'm like, oh, we're about to go to
the Redneck rivi Era.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, We're about to get down a little bit.
So we go there. So my kids love to go
and get the on the the flatbed and act like
it's like a surfboard, and.
Speaker 6: So we just race something down the aisles at load'st
They love it.
Speaker 7: Uh, they fall down a few times, but for me,
for the most part, they stay up. But we went
and got the one of those big like this queen
like ten foot by one hundred foot plastic you know,
get the thick one, get the six mill thick and
you just roll that sucker out on the backyard and
you get some like uh you go get some baby
shampoo in the oil. Yeah, so you like you just
put it all over that stuff and you just make
your own little slipping side.
Speaker 6: If you got a little hill, get a good running start, and.
Speaker 7: You get some tubes, it's like you can go for
like one hundred feet yeah, boom, and you're just had
to go. It was great. So we got the tubes,
we got the sprinklers. We were the whole family. It
was a whole family.
Speaker 4: I bet after three four hours of secies, I bet
you went real fast.
Speaker 6: But I got one of.
Speaker 7: Those inflatable like I would say it's probably about eight
foot eight long inflatable pools.
Speaker 6: That was actually pretty good.
Speaker 7: It was it was forty bucks, and it was like
the best on forty bucks pool I've ever bought.
Speaker 6: It was great.
Speaker 4: You buy a lot of forty dollars tools well, you know,
once or two a year. Yeah, all right, Elandra Tata.
How did we take in the fourth because we just
kind of like we like I said, we had a
house project. We got some fireworks. Uh, we enjoyed other
people's fireworks, but you know, we kind of kept the
low key a little bit.
Speaker 5: I didn't do anything on Fourth of July.
Speaker 10: I just chilled literally all day, which is exactly what
I wanted to do. I was gonna go to Laberg's
to the casino, and then I just didn't feel like it,
so I didn't go. And then I was out at
the pool Saturday, and then yesterday I just cleaned my
entire house.
Speaker 4: I sound pretty good.
Speaker 10: No, that was a great I needed that because I
have not had a weekend where I, like, I didn't
do anything for a while, so I needed to like
reset my entire life.
Speaker 5: It's like an active.
Speaker 4: Hard to reset hard, go to it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, very actively trying to attempt to get my life together.
Speaker 5: There's going to be an ongoing.
Speaker 4: It feels like you're doing great though, trying my best.
All you can do. It's all you can do. Tat.
I know that your LP birthright did not allow you
to just chill on the fourth of July.
Speaker 8: No, we went and got some barbecue on the fourth
up with my family. Like we actually went out, went
and saw the new Jurassic World movie.
Speaker 9: Did all that on the fourth and then taking.
Speaker 4: A review of that later Saturday.
Speaker 8: Like me and Victoria had like hot dogs, burgers, everything
that we're gonna do at the house, but our family
calls us, Hey, we're going out whatever, So we actually
did burgers and hot dogs Saturday on the fifth, and
then yesterday also Victoria did a deep clean in the
inside and I was in charge of the outside.
Speaker 9: So that's.
Speaker 4: Well. You put on those air monarchs, and a yard
hates to see you coming.
Speaker 5: The yard was scared. The yard was shaking.
Speaker 8: Tell you what, I was weed eating down that driveway.
What there is not a There is not a straighter
line in my neighborhood.
Speaker 4: All right, do you do you have like an edger
or do you just flip the sideways and oh.
Speaker 9: No, I just I weed eat the whole thing. I
got the whole way.
Speaker 7: Are you like your pro You take like the little
shield off of the weed eater, you know, it comes.
Speaker 6: Like that safety, like the pros.
Speaker 7: I keep it like and you drive and you see,
like a good yard company, none of them have that shield.
Speaker 6: They take it off there because I don't know they
got it.
Speaker 4: Feels like a challenge.
Speaker 8: Anything I own map is just gonna be stock, just
how it comes.
Speaker 6: Sure everything no customization.
Speaker 4: You feel you feel stock, which Stock's good. Sometimes you
know it's not dangerous safe, it's a little safe, which
is okay.
Speaker 9: Okay, somebody's like you ever put this on your truck now?
Speaker 6: Have it, did it? Come with it? Don't have it?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 7: I don't know. I feel like you'll get there. You're
not thirty yet. Once you're thirty, you're gonna start looking.
Speaker 5: At that equipment.
Speaker 6: It's been like, ah, man, I can.
Speaker 4: Are you saying he's going to be danger russ M
maybe unlimited?
Speaker 6: Wow? I hope.
Speaker 5: So let's ride.
Speaker 6: Let's ride. We did it. We hit him all, we
hit all three.
Speaker 4: Instead of push ups, let's do high knees during the break.
Speaker 6: It needn't stretch it. Oh man, free Hey, I just
want you to know. Did you know.
Speaker 7: That fireworks are indeed illegal in ben Ridge? I told yeah,
that's on you.
Speaker 9: Actually apparently I should have got up to five.
Speaker 6: Six months in prison.
Speaker 4: Article we went to Saint Gabriel, you as.
Speaker 6: Me going to prison for six months.
Speaker 4: We got some fire I would build you out. We
got some fireworks. Now, we didn't get anything too crazy,
just some low key ones. But we you know, got
a bag full rum, the candles, other stuff whatever. But
like when we're leaving St. Gabriel to go back to
our house, there's like four cops going into U club
and then they pull out and then pull into the
next neighborhood and they pull out.
Speaker 6: I'm like, are.
Speaker 4: They are they stopping people from doing And I was like, well,
they're gonna pull in our neighborhood and we're just gonna
have to wait till they leave to do the fireworks. But
we skipped our neighborhood, so thank.
Speaker 5: Goodness, there were people popping them in my neighborhood. But
here's my question, why are we not allowed to pop fireworks?
Speaker 10: But like Stael are like, weren't there fireworks on the
levee or something like that?
Speaker 5: Or was it down in saying Gabriel that that happen
and that's why they were allowed to.
Speaker 4: I know they do a big fireworks shown right, Yeah, yeah,
we're allowed to it. It's not like we live in
a dry climate where I mean, somebody explained it to
me because if you listen more dry, Okay, I get it.
Speaker 7: Whatever you'll probably say because there's probably a lot of
idiots out there, Well, there's idiots everywhere. That's true with fireworks.
Speaker 4: I mean I was an idiot growing up with fireworks.
Speaker 7: We actually set our big ones off last night. We
were at the friend's house on four.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we those neighbors that oh yeah, on July sixth,
when people are just trying to go scaring dogs.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, beds. I'm going to bed. Last night, it's
like eleven, dog wakes up barking. I'm like, what I
think him outside? Maybe he needs to go out. No,
there's people popping fireworks eleven thirty at night on a Sunday.
Speaker 9: I'm like, we do it.
Speaker 6: Oh, you gotta get room before the work week, like.
Speaker 5: Over here giving veteran PTSD.
Speaker 6: Just as it was forty.
Speaker 7: We did make forty everyone forty. We go, we take
the kids to the fireworks stand. Okay, we drive out
to Praierville. We go to the sweet.
Speaker 6: Little fireworks stand and so we spend them monk.
Speaker 7: We get the bag full of like the kids stuff,
the sparklers, the the.
Speaker 6: Good stuff, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: And so we go over to for the fourth we
go over to some friend's house and we light some
fireworks there, but we're not liking lighting the big like
cubes that I bought that have like fifteen shots each.
Speaker 6: So I bought two of those.
Speaker 7: And so we were gonna do it the day after,
but we just kind of forgot we got into we
were watching We made it like nineties movie weekend. So
we were watching the nineties movie we kind of forgot,
so we did him yesterday.
Speaker 4: We weren't going to just sit on himntil I don't know.
New Year's all right, we got it, we got a break,
but real quick. What was on the nineties movie playlist? Heavyweights?
Speaker 7: Well, we've done saying a lot before. Of course, we
did Independence Day with the kids on Friday. Uh, Saturday
night was a little big League.
Speaker 4: Oh, I still can't. I still can't believe he caught
that ball in the.
Speaker 7: That's not how these work, guys. They were kind of
like it was at that point. Did Little Big League
like change the dynamics of movies, like they flipped the switch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, though, ballerall, I definitely didn't think he's gonna catch it.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, But as soon as he took off, we.
Speaker 4: Spoiled a little big league for y'all.
Speaker 7: It's that it scratched so much nostalgia for.
Speaker 6: It was great though, still good.
Speaker 7: I got some good like belly last from it, from

the ground in Atlanta, Georgia, four sec Media day. I
am very excited because it's the first time for Flynn
and it is madness. It is chaotic. Excited, yes, but
it is a lot of fun. It is a lot
of fun. It's like it's like summer camp for all
the people in our business. Now, you know, during the day,
you do the work and you make sure that everything's
taken care of them. At night, you can relax and
fellowship with your you know, your fellow colleagues.
Speaker 7: And but you can't fellowship too hard because we are
the morning show.
Speaker 4: Well you can, and then you'll be sitting there and
you're waiting for Tea Bob to come up the escalator
with about thirteen seconds left before the show starts, and
he hadn't answered any of your texts or phone calls,
and you're like, okay, we're gonna do this last day solo.
But he showed up. He was there, so I can't
tell you how much you can enjoy it or not.
Speaker 6: It's a kind of a hoot of the owls or
the eagle situation.
Speaker 4: As Bobby Aber would say, My dad was hoot with
the owls. You got a cockerdil to do with the roosters,
all right, So either way, I mean, so.
Speaker 6: Whatever the Eagles was a moffetism thinks I don't know.
Speaker 4: I've heard Bobby Aber say that too. Okay, so either
way legend said it, Well, we're.
Speaker 6: Gonna do it.
Speaker 7: I'm excited about it. I wouldn't say I'm nervous about it,
but certainly this is going to test the limits of
my sports preparation, a sports knowledge, and I'm excited about that.
Speaker 4: Little notebook's gonna have a lot of chance.
Speaker 10: I know.
Speaker 7: I'm excited about jumping into because it's going to kind
of force me to like kickstart the football preparation because,
believe you me, I will be prepared for football season.
So this is gonna like kickstart that because this is
going to force me. I'm kind of curious when do
they release the list of attendees. I know all the coaches.
Speaker 6: Of course, that.
Speaker 4: Should be any day now, probably later before, probably later today,
because I know the Big Twelve and the Big Ten
we talked about that last week. They've already been released
and so those are out there, and I think the
Big ten's like the SEC where it's like three per team,
and then the Big twelve is just like whatever, we'll
go off vibes. You want six, cool? You want three?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 4: Seven including two quarterbacks and a kicker. We got you.
Come on, so spring start, we'll get the list. And
the way that I usually format it is we are
the morning shows, so we don't have like Hunt's gonna
be like prime time because Hunt's coming this year for
the first time. He's gonna be primetime when everybody's kind
of walking through because that's really the time period. And
then Moscona gets a little bit at the end and
so he records a lot as well. So that's what
you know. You'll be down there recording uh some as well.
Speaker 7: So yeah, let's yeah, let's let's prep our listeners for that.
Speaker 6: So your show starts at.
Speaker 4: Noon noon Eastern time.
Speaker 6: Noon Eastern time, so what so there's gonna be like
an hour.
Speaker 4: I got an hour between shows and then I go
to off campus.
Speaker 6: Boy, it's gonna be recordings of interviews. Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because Hunt's show starts. What's times Hunt show start?
Y'all one?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you'll have some time.
Speaker 7: It'll be yeah, it'll be one here to eastern right,
and you know, so, uh, you'll be down there.
Speaker 4: Rivers will be down there with you. So y'all can
record some interviews together, because.
Speaker 6: Hey, le get over there. Let's go.
Speaker 4: I guarantee you she can get.
Speaker 7: Jeff Levy, So what's your coaching path?
Speaker 6: Where'd you come from? Guy?
Speaker 4: Uh? So let's start with that. Jeff Levy was a
player at Oklahoma the probably not he had to get
medically what do you call it? Like when just a
medical what we should call that? But yeah, basically that's
what happened to him. And at Oklahoma when he was
a player, he's a giant human you'll see offensive lineman.
And so when that happened to him, he immediately went
into student coaching for Oklahoma and that's where he got
to start, and he's had a lot of success there.
He was the oc there before he was the head coach.
At Mississippi State and there's your profile and Jeff.
Speaker 7: Levy Okay, I'm gonna repeat that to him, and then
it's like, can you expand on this?
Speaker 6: I can't.
Speaker 4: I'm really excited for the first interview. And hey, they're recorded,
so we don't have to play them if they're bad.
Speaker 6: That's a good pressure. That's we actually chop them up
to make them sound better than they are.
Speaker 4: The best part is you can ease into it because
LSU's on the first day perfect.
Speaker 6: I don't know if that's the one you want to
ease into, right.
Speaker 4: Being very santastic.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, the wheels are spinning there. It'll be great.
We're gonna we're gonna.
Speaker 6: Yeah, really good.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You remember my uh my little color coded system that
you made fun of for the draft a couple of
years ago. Yeah, yeah, I'll do that for you and
then we'll see.
Speaker 6: You don't need to do anything for me.
Speaker 4: I got this, well, I'm gonna do it for myself,
so I'm just gonna make a copy of it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Oh, this is gonna be a week of preparation. Proper
preparation prevents poor performance.
Speaker 4: You should have plenty of quarterbacks there all jokes aside,
You're gonna like this is the year of the quarterback,
and if these teams don't try to be the smartest
guy in the room, they bring the quarterback like they should.
I mean we're talking Arch Manning, DJ Lagway, Diego Pavia,
Garrett ness Meyer, John Mattier, Leonora Sellers. I mean, this
is going to be a stacked quarterback roster.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's a stacked quarterback.
Speaker 4: I'm sure Gunnerstockon is going to be there for George.
I don't know if Alabama, since they have a bad
I don't know if they'll bring a quarterback, but there's
going to be some Jimmy's and Joe's at your position
where that way I mean, I mean, I'm actually excited.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I kind of got to figure out something, some
sort of consistent line of questioning for them as far
from like the quarterback position. I kind of want to
just like I'd like to ask people consistent questions and
see if I get like different responses just to kind
of like test their qb IQ a little bit or
maybe not IQ. Just like the way they approach the game,
approach a line of scrimmage, approach your practice, things like
that that's what I'm really curious. I mean, you'll know
that I'm I'm more curious about like how the what
happens in the brain, psychology, Like the psychology of sports.
That's what I'm really interested in, what athletes go through
from a mental standpoint. And of course we all love
to cheer on and praise and and yell at the
physical part of sports, but like the psychology is what
really interests me. So I want to kind of dive
into that with those guys. And you know, the coaching,
talking to coaches, asking coaches, that's gonna be the more
challenging part for me. But like talking to the quarterbacks,
that's going to be a lot of fun. So, man,
at SEC is stacked from top to bottom. It's a
so doing a quarterback tier list today, we are it's
gonna be a toughie. We are, I mean not number one, obviously,
it's gonna be easy.
Speaker 4: We're gonna go elite good, don't know an oh boy,
that sound good. I like the old boys. Ye oh boy. Yeah,
So we'll do that at eight thirty.
Speaker 7: Daniel in the chat says, I bet Flynn gets at
least three good questions next week.
Speaker 6: Should we set the over under, I'll set it three
at three.
Speaker 7: That's all we're gonna do is we're gonna be interviewed
all week. It's gotta be higher.
Speaker 4: We're not I mean the morning show again, Like we'll
get like one team per day, so it's only really
five as far as like players and coaches. Now we'll
have different people like in sports media join us. Does
that count too? Like if you get a good question
from those guys, I think I counted all.
Speaker 10: It means even more if somebody in sports media three three,
you know, you don't get as many as you think.
Speaker 9: Not your fault.
Speaker 8: Like when you're interviewing an a, they're thinking more about
the question. They're not gonna be like, oh, good question
all this, like they're focused on that. You're probably not
gonna get any from them.
Speaker 5: Unless you ask them like something real, real good.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Like you need to have you seen that guy
what's his name, nod War or something like that, and
he interviews celebrities and he'll know like the deepest, darkest
secret about the celebrity and they're.
Speaker 5: Always like, whoa, how did you know that? Like it's crazy.
Speaker 4: That's what we need y'all.
Speaker 7: Need to do something to break the ice with.
Speaker 10: Give me an athlete and I will find something crazy
about them that.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get a lot. We're gonna give you all
the morning teams, like whoever that ends up being the
five morning teams.
Speaker 5: Yeah, give me.
Speaker 4: They're going to give you one player from one of those. Yeah. Five.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you have to do something like that.
Speaker 7: With college kids, you have to do something to break
the ice because we all know and they're trained to
do this. College athletes are really boring to listen to
when they give interviews and they give answers. I mean
there's a there's a couple of exceptions. We all were like,
I go back and watch mine, But that's what they
like trained us to do. They want you to talk
and say nothing. So you did that, and that's they're
supposed to do that. They're supposed to give you the
answers like that. But I feel like if you can
break the ice with them, you can get a little
bit back, get a little bit that's what you.
Speaker 4: Look And there's gonna be a time where you feel
like you've got a pretty good question. You asked a
question and the player is gonna look at you and
go yeah, and then you're gonna have to Pivott find
somewhere to go.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'll just hit them with it again. Can
you expand on that? Yeah? Why why'd you say that?
Speaker 4: But okay, I can't wait for that.
Speaker 6: I'm looking for If he just does that, I'll just
be well, you know, that was it and boom goes
the dynamite.
Speaker 4: Uh So, hopefully we will find out that list today
of who's going to be there for which teams, and
you know, sometimes a team will surprise you. And if
they've got you know, a quarterback battle who we already
kind of know who the winner is going to be,
they won't bring a quarterback because they're trying not to
have one guy get mad at the other guy going
to media days. But I still expect a full list
and some elite quarterbacks to be on that list. All right,
we will take a break more ot B when we
come back here on one of four five ESPN betterroos
off the bench. I go to Central Plumbing dot org.
Central plumbing dot Org not only in Central in the
entire greater Baton Rouge area. We are talking to you
two two five ninety two five eighty five fifty two
is the number twenty four seven three sixty five weekend holiday.
If you would have had something on the fourth of July,
they would have been there, because that's what twenty four
seven three sixty five means. So again, two two five
nine two five eighty five fifty two is the number
always online at central Plumbing dot org. And remember, in
the entire greater Baton Rouge area we are talking to
you one more time, Central Plumbing dot org.
Speaker 6: DA.
Speaker 7: You know how powerful it is to note that the
company that works for you twenty four to seven, no
matter when it is three hundred and sixty five days
a year, if something happens to your home, to your business,
well when you're sitting there with your entire family, that
they can come and fix it on the spot. Central Plumbing.
They can have anything you want on your plumbing. Needs
you gotta flood in a leak, whatever it is Central
Plumbing Dot or Central Plumbing dot Org.
Speaker 1: Tigers turn talkers. This is off the bench.
Speaker 5: She grew up in.
Speaker 1: Indiana Town, had a good looking mi never was around,
but s grew up tall and she grew up.
Speaker 4: Right with them.
Speaker 2: Indiana bo I wrote them again, Oh TV one of
four five ESPN, Ben Rouge Tata inside the doc today
you put a little recruiting news. It does feel like
LSU has you know, gotten a couple of guys over
the last couple of days. It feels like every time
I open up social media, you see somebody in a
Tiger uniform edit tte who is joining. Well, as we
know it's off, maybe this signing class for LSU.
Speaker 8: Well, So going back to last Wednesday, they got five
star edge Trenton Henderson, Like that was a big one,
one you have to have. And then on fourth of July,
like Brian Kelly his staff, they had a pretty good
fourth of July. Isaiah Washington out of Haynesville, He's listen
is a safety, six foot three, so really good size
on him, only one seventy. But but it's quarterback for
the team as well. They say he can play corner
and safety. So Olsen and Raymond both led his recruiting. Look,
he's a he's a solid player. And then you have
Bryce and Cooley, a four star offensive tackle. He's a
big one. He's sixty six, three hundred and fifteen pounds.
He's a four star player. He's out of the State
of Mississippi. Like that gives you four commitments because you
got Emmanuel Tucker, who he talked about a couple of
weeks ago. You have Jalen Chapman, you have Bryceton Martinez
right there. Out of EA, you basically got two guards,
two tackles in this class. Like this class is coming
along nicely. And get this, Like you go look at
it on three's rankings. You only have fourteen commits. A
couple of other teams have twenty five. There's still seventh overall.
Speaker 9: In team rankings.
Speaker 8: So like at least one three, Like it's a quality
over quantity at this point, Like it's only going to
continue to grow if you can keep these guys.
Speaker 4: And you have yet to get your quarterback for this class.
And so once you do that, because I just I
don't think you can go anymore without getting your quarterback
in every class. Once you do that, it's going to
continue to go up. And so to your point, it
is seventh, but when you talk about who they have
in the class, it's as impressive as anybody. I mean,
I feel like they're like top three at the end
of this deal. At least it feels like it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it looks like and now speaking of fourth of July,
they did lose a big one Booby Feaster.
Speaker 9: It's kind of let a little bit under the radar.
Speaker 8: He's going to USC which what a choice they are, Booby,
but uh, he's he's not in. But your whole you
know what to trust the keys at least right now,
five serve receiver out of Mississippi.
Speaker 9: Like, you get that quarterback in because your.
Speaker 8: dB class is coming along nicely, that's kind of a
question mark on your team this year. Your line class
looks really good. That's a question mark on the team
this year. Like you get that quarterback in there, everything
else around it looks pretty solid. Like, yeah, this could
be a top five class easy.
Speaker 6: That's interesting.
Speaker 7: And we kind of talked about this last week or
maybe it's two weeks ago about the quarterback position when
it comes to high school recruiting. It's you know, to me,
it's not quite as important that you land one every
year because of like a we have such.
Speaker 4: A you can get one if you miss.
Speaker 6: Now, you can get one.
Speaker 4: But it just feels like it feels like they want
to add one.
Speaker 7: I think you want I think you want to add
one every year that's the goal. But I don't think
you press and you settle for one every year, especially
with a big, dynamic class coming next year as well,
and then just the ability to I mean, you know
Lsu of course to Heisman's at quarterback in the last
six years, so it's like you can go recruit some
guys that are ready to play right now if you
need it. So this day and age in college football,
it's not quite as important that you hit every single year.
I think you try to and you pick and choose
the guys you want, but I don't think that you
just have to fall back on someone just because you
want a quarterback and you need just another guy or
another arm or whatever it is. Now you could take
a three star guy and he hits and he becomes
the best quarterback you've ever had, but you just don't
have to, especially with twenty twenty seven class coming a
year after that.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, in this last class, you were able
to get Mica Van Buren, who's a young player, but
he has started a year in the SEC and that's
kind of your quarterback for this last year. And you're right, like,
when you have the opportunity to add a top ten quarterback. Like,
no matter how you look at it, LSU is going
to add a top ten quarter next year. It might
be the number one overall quarterback. There's so many guys
with so many Louisiana ties. Guys from the state of Louisiana.
Nuss Meyer's brother, even though he's in Texas, that's a tie.
I mean we even went like Gunner Rivers, Philip Rivers son, well,
his uncle Steven who coaches him, he signed and played
for LSU. I mean, there's a ton of ties. There's
like five guys. I think there's three top fifteen quarterbacks
in Louisiana and those two that we mentioned. Five guys,
you got some pretty strong ties.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you'll be recruiting all of these guys off
of a year. I mean, you're gonna come into this
season and you know, it remains to me seeing how
the season works out from a team standpoint on wins
and losses. It's gonna how the close games are gonna
pan out. But offensively, you're gonna be good. You're gonna
put up numbers, You're gonna put up stats, You're gonna
put up an offense that looks really good to recruits
and you can sell on and you can recruit with.
So no matter how that works out, it's gonna let
a So you're right, I mean, you will bring in
top tier talent year in year out. It's just if
some of those guys don't pan out. If there's a
couple of guys this year that don't want to come
to LSU because of the class next year, which I
wouldn't never understand that as an eighteen year old, But
it's not a panic button situation just because I mean
it's LSU's got to be one of the if not
the highest coveted.
Speaker 6: Position to come to as a quarterback.
Speaker 4: Well, not only because of the quarterbacks and them having
two Heisman Trophy winners, but also the receivers.
Speaker 6: They're pretty decent run here.
Speaker 4: They were like if you look up in the NFL,
it's like four of the top ten receivers are from
LSU and those are just in the last six years.
So also, like you know who you're going to be
throwing the football to, and some of the numbers that
LSU's been putting up through the air, Like did we
think ten years ago we would be sitting here talking
about two Heisman Trophy quarterbacks. Now, you've always had receivers.
That's nothing new. I mean, Louisiana produces receivers at a
very high clip. But if I'm a quarterback knowing I'm
going to be throwing to those Jimmies and Joe's knowing
what the quarterbacks have done here over the last couple
of years, I don't really know why you would look
anywhere else. If again, if you have a tie, if
you're from this area, if you're from this region, it's
like that is like the standard right now. Then what
NUSS is doing right now? And this is you know,
no matter where you look, he's got top five Heisman odds.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's kind of wild. It's like LSU made. This
is the old head talking to us right here. This
is as an LSU fan saying, wow, we have such
a good offense. It's the defense we got to worry
about when for so long it has been opposite of
that here at LSU, especially for a decade, it was
we had the best defense every single year, one of
the best defense in the country.
Speaker 6: We just got to get past the fifty, like we
got it.
Speaker 7: We got to figure out how to do this, and
it just switches on you in a blink of an eye,
and a couple of years ago when Jaden's last year,
it's like, man, can we just stop somebody from getting cross?
Speaker 4: Can they not score one time? Because if they don't
score one.
Speaker 6: Just not every time? Please? But no, you're right.
Speaker 7: I mean it's if you're looking around the country, there's
a lot of desiral places. And I know now there
is an extra element with the money that comes into play. Money, opportunity, business, opportunity,
all these different things start to come into play. But
I got a hard time believe in anybody out there
who's got a top five quarterback ranking in high school.
It's not at least taking a good hard gander at
l s U. Now, I got a question on the recruits.
How are they announcing this? They still putting them in
the toy box on social media.
Speaker 4: That's what It did. Blow your mind when I told
you that actually is something that I thought it was.
Speaker 7: Just completely photoshopped. So they're act physically putting these there
is in a toy box.
Speaker 4: Yes, I've seen it.
Speaker 6: Can we just not put them in toy boxes anymore?
That's my one request.
Speaker 4: What do you want to put him in?
Speaker 6: Let's just do like a you know, maybe just a headshot.
Speaker 4: You know how this thing works now, and it ain't
gonna be just ahead.
Speaker 7: There's two things that kind of kind of bug me.
It's the toy box and then the backwards L and
the backwards L in pictures.
Speaker 4: I wish y'all knew how bad the backwards L triggers.
Speaker 7: Like when you when you're when you're side by side
with somebody, you're trying to when the guy on the
right he can put his right hand up right side out, Well,
it's your left hand. If you're saying on the left
side of a picture, it's your left hand that's free.
So you can't throw a normal L up. So you
gotta flip the wrist and go backwards. Yeah, I hate it.
What do you want to do throw a backwards L.
Speaker 6: Let's just not not throw the L up.
Speaker 4: Well, that's just because they didn't do that when we
were playing. That's a backward zeal. Nobody wants to do that.
Speaker 6: That No, you can't flip it. That bothers me so much.
I don't like the toy box. I don't like the
backward L. I don't know if that's a hot takes.
It's an old man. Take I don't know backwards l
it just looks silly.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll be back.
Speaker 6: I think some people are agreeing with me.
