1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn from

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,400
a championship backfield to your morning drive.

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 2: Hester and Hester got at.

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,759
Speaker 1: A bar you're locked in to Off the Bench to

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:22,280
troll live from the Raising Kine Studio. Here's Jacob Hester

6
00:00:22,879 --> 00:01:12,680
and Matt Flynn.

7
00:00:50,719 --> 00:01:12,879
Speaker 2: Game. James, that was good.

8
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,879
Speaker 3: I paused for a second because I was waiting for Matt.

9
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 4: The yo the same, the howl better with three. It's

10
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,640
not even not even necessarily Matt's fault.

11
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 3: Just it just is what it is.

12
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,359
Speaker 5: Just sorry, you just report the facts.

13
00:01:31,879 --> 00:01:34,799
Speaker 6: Sorry, Hybrid rock Star. It's just the way it is.

14
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:39,120
I think he's nervous right now. I think it is.

15
00:01:39,719 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, this seems like it seemed like that's such a

16
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,840
laid back, care free person that this seems like something

17
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,519
he would get nervous for, you know what I mean.

18
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's never been a person that enjoyed physical activity.

19
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: I don't know how you got convinced to do it.

20
00:01:54,879 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 6: I don't either, because he's hard to convince it. Like typically,

21
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:00,680
if he doesn't want to do anything, he just doesn't

22
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,200
do it right and really doesn't have any bones about it,

23
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:04,400
Like I ain't doing that.

24
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 7: Anyways.

25
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:14,599
Speaker 6: Welcome Inn What's Happening OTV Friday Morning, Jake Elandra Tata,

26
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,560
the original Tripod, the o G Tripod Og Trypod, Madison

27
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,759
Houston being a hybrid rock star. He was supposed to

28
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:28,240
run at like nine. I think he got pushed back

29
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,680
to one and some one also that is a listener

30
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,919
of OTB is running at one twenty as well. That

31
00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:38,960
made him even more nervous with somebody that might know

32
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,960
him is going to see him and see him struggle

33
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,080
and also beat his time.

34
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: Oh I'm a lot so hard if that guy comes

35
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,000
back there.

36
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 7: I just beat Flim by seven minutes. So that's what

37
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:49,280
he said.

38
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 5: He was saying that after the show.

39
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 4: He was like, I don't know this person, I don't

40
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,520
know what they look like, but I have to beat

41
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:54,919
this guy.

42
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

43
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 8: Absolutely, I think he's going to do better than he

44
00:02:59,400 --> 00:02:59,879
thinks he is.

45
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 6: Yeah he will. He'll do fun. He's a competitive turd.

46
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,120
Once that happens, he'll turn it on. I he'll pay

47
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,560
for it later, he'll turn it on. There's no doubt.

48
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:14,280
All Right, we got Bobby Carpenter joining us in fifteen minutes,

49
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:17,080
a lot of Buckeyes being mocked to the Saints. I'll

50
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,240
have that conversation. Jared Mitchell is going to join us

51
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,280
at eight. I'm gonna try to get Jake clark On

52
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:31,240
as well. Got basketball to break down women's basketball. They're

53
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,919
playing a game playing in sweet sixteen. There's a thing

54
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,520
or two about men's basketball as well. Before we do that,

55
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:39,639
as we always do, little vibe check around the room.

56
00:03:39,639 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 7: Has somebody doing.

57
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,479
Speaker 8: I mean, like I said, if we were to get

58
00:03:44,479 --> 00:03:47,280
Will Wade, which we did, it would sustain me for years.

59
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:52,560
So I'm feeling great, Like I life is being breathed

60
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,240
into me right now, so I could not be better. Also,

61
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,520
some baseball tonight.

62
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,759
Speaker 7: This is kind of utopia for you.

63
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,039
Speaker 8: I know it's like they're not doing great, but I

64
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,319
still watch every single game.

65
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: Watch I'm sick in the head.

66
00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're all gonna do it, that's all.

67
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 8: I'm sitting there watching all the midweek games for what

68
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:12,199
you do?

69
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 6: You'd having a midway hard for what, no reason other

70
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:19,519
than love of the game. No, It's funny because like

71
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,079
even when they do good, because they're doing bad on

72
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,639
the weekend, we're like, doesn't matter whatever.

73
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 4: Stupid right, But that was like that was like me

74
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:32,759
this basketball season. I'll shut Kentucky on the TV. It

75
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,680
was like a Wednesday night, and it was when they

76
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,759
had that big lead. Remember, I mean they jumped out

77
00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:40,000
eighteen to two something like that, and I'm watching it usually.

78
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, they lose a heartbreaker at the end.

79
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,879
Speaker 4: I was like, and that was fun Victoria's Taylor, why

80
00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:46,920
are you even excited? I was like, they almost won. Yeah,

81
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,920
it's so funny that you say that. We have a

82
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:54,399
two time national championship winning coach. We're in the middle

83
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:57,680
of March and you're like, oh, by the way, baseball's tonight. Yeah,

84
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,800
because there is so much crap going on. It's basketball.

85
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,680
You got men in the headlines, you got Lane Kiff

86
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,720
in its spring practice. It's like, it's kind of an

87
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,399
embarrassment of riches. A little update for you guys.

88
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 5: You got a truck I did not drive.

89
00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:15,959
Speaker 3: Why I did see a different car?

90
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:19,439
Speaker 4: Why did I not drive Victoria's car here today? She

91
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,680
was a doctor's appointment this morning. I drove my sisters.

92
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 5: Yeah they have.

93
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:29,879
Speaker 4: She just got a new vehicle and they're like in

94
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,600
the process of selling the old one of them. Yeah,

95
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:34,639
I said Victoria. I mean, I said, Heyley, I needed

96
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,040
for two days. I need it for two days.

97
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 7: I have never heard of a car taking this line

98
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:40,959
to deliver.

99
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 4: I think that I ordered a Ferrari straight from Italy

100
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,560
and you customized from Austin, Texas.

101
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,879
Speaker 3: Off like you literally should have just went to Austin

102
00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:51,920
and just bought the car.

103
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,439
Speaker 4: Called him yesterday. They're like, yeah, it's still a mobile.

104
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,800
I'm like, bro, it's been sitting there for three days.

105
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:57,759
Speaker 5: Can I go get it?

106
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 4: I was like, I'll just go off to work.

107
00:05:58,959 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 5: It's three hours away.

108
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very easy.

109
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:02,759
Speaker 5: They were like, let me check.

110
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 4: They're like, technically you can go get it, but we

111
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,360
would have to take it back off of this We'd

112
00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:10,040
have to send it to a different hub. It would

113
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,519
actually probably set you back a couple of days just

114
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,439
to go get it. I was like, so if I

115
00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:17,839
physically show up to a car lot and the vehicle

116
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,759
that I am purchasing is on that lot, I can't

117
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,000
take it for two days? Like yeah, basically, I don't

118
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,279
know what you did company I've ever seen.

119
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,879
Speaker 7: I don't know who you went through, but I'm going

120
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,079
to make sure I never do it.

121
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 8: Do not Promotive would never to you ever, My god,

122
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:38,079
they'd bring the car to you, right.

123
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 7: That's probably.

124
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:41,439
Speaker 8: I think that day you would have been had that

125
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,160
car if you would have went to buy you automotive

126
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:43,800
also had.

127
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,319
Speaker 5: To also had to pay four hundred dollars.

128
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,639
Speaker 3: I would ask for that four hundred dollars. Did they

129
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,079
give you an estimated delivery Saturday?

130
00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: No?

131
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: No, No, you bought the car. Did they give you an

132
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,160
estimated delivery?

133
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was like a twelve day period.

134
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: I feel has it been more than twelve days?

135
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:02,959
Speaker 7: Oh? Yeah, no.

136
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 4: I mean like they were like it could arrive at

137
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,399
any point between like the eighteenth and the end of

138
00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:08,800
the month, and I'm like, that's.

139
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:10,879
Speaker 3: Not okay, Well it's the end of the month. I

140
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:12,560

Speaker 3: Me to get that four hundred dollars because I will.

00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 4: They're dragging their feet because they can. Tomorrow is the

00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,399
very last estimated day that they gave me guarantee it

145

149
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,360

Speaker 7: That because you pick it up from the car. Max.

151
00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 8: Here, Hey, they don't even take it to your house.

152
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,439
Speaker 4: They could bring it to my house. At this point, guys,

153
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,399
I don't want that. I would rather just go get it. Like, no, no,

154
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,879
I don't want you delivering anything to me.

155
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 7: That's rough.

156
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,519
Speaker 6: Hell No, we got Jackson's car. We did it through

157
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,879
car Vana. This was a couple of months ago. It

158
00:07:58,959 --> 00:07:59,800
was pretty easy.

159
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,839
Speaker 4: My dad's bought two vehicles through there.

160
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,639
Speaker 6: They just by itself on a flatbed and they delivered

161
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:07,279
to your house.

162
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:09,439
Speaker 4: Did Comax had a little bit of a better deal

163
00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:11,120
And I was like, oh there wasn't what, no big deal.

164
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 5: Nope, they're not the.

165
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,079
Speaker 3: Same again, they would have had me so messed up.

166
00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:19,519
Speaker 4: Oh, guys, I have called them every single day. They

167

00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:02,279
Speaker 5: Sorry that it's fine, guys. I'm not even mad about it.

Speaker 4: No, sometime between now, when the end of the year,

00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:10,000
I'll get this.

186
00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:14,159
Speaker 7: I imagine I would be going so ham on the phone, Oh.

187
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 5: I called him.

188
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: I was like, you do realize I could have bought

189
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,159
a one way plane ticket to Austin, Texas, went and

190
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,480
got the vehicle myself, saved probably two hundred bucks, and

191
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,240
had it two weeks ago.

192
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Like, how do you explain that to something?

193
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,519
It had some good barbecue in Austin too.

194
00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:32,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been like that.

195
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 4: Is like the one place Coopers I have never been,

196
00:09:35,919 --> 00:09:38,279
Salo Salt Lake.

197
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,279
Speaker 8: Is like, okay, that's when people I don't know what

198
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:44,480
I would compare it to here, like when people are like, oh,

199
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,320
you got to get some good jumbalaya and you go

200
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:48,320
to like a jumbalaya shop or something like that.

201
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,519
Speaker 6: I love Salt like I don't know. Everybody I say

202
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,559
from Texas says the same thing. But I'm like, look,

203
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:53,759
I'm a simple man.

204
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 3: I mean, Salt Lake has its place for sure, Yeah,

205
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,519
but Cooper's too. For shoopers, it was.

206
00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:03,159
Speaker 5: A lot only big city in Texas. I've never been two.

207
00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I've been Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, wake

208
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,000
up and all of them.

209
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 5: Never been to Austin.

210
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 3: You're not missing much.

211
00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:13,399
Speaker 7: I knew that was coming.

212
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,399
Speaker 3: There's no reason to go there.

213
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,879
Speaker 7: How how about how quickly I could look.

214
00:10:19,159 --> 00:10:22,759
Speaker 6: Obviously we're going to get into Will Wade and how

215
00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:24,600
it all played out and everything.

216
00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 7: But look, we talked. We've been talking about for two days.

217
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 6: We talked about it yesterday because you know, it was

218
00:10:28,879 --> 00:10:31,559
already happening, and we'll break down what it means and

219
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:32,759
who what went and where.

220
00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:36,759
Speaker 7: I just think it's pretty cool how quick like it

221
00:10:36,799 --> 00:10:38,480
was a it was like kind of like a rumor.

222
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

223
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 6: And like like I said, over the last couple of days,

224
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,240
we've all said it like worst kept secret and battery's

225
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,960
been going on for weeks. But from it not like

226
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,759
actually being officially official over the last like forty eight

227
00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:55,279
hours and then you technically still had a coach and

228
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,279
Matt McMahon. Yeah to this man was on a plane

229
00:10:58,879 --> 00:11:01,000
boots on the ground in at and Rouge before the

230
00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:05,879
sun was down yesterday, Like how quickly it all kind

231
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:09,200
of came together, and how quickly it was like from

232
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,039
all right, he's meeting with NC State on Wednesday night

233
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:14,360
and blah blah blah. And you know you still got

234
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:17,320
Matt McMahon. You got to figure it out too. Yesterday

235
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,720
on Thursday, he was here before the sun went down.

236
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 7: Like it's amazing how quickly everything went down.

237
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: It happened so fast. It was like a wildfire right

238
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:28,759
like it was.

239
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 8: A rumors started coming out, and then it was he's

240
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,480
meeting with NC State, and then it was they couldn't

241
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,279
come to agreement, and then we hired Heath Schroyer and

242
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,559
again like it was just Domino's that just kept falling

243
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,879
and falling and it did happen super fast.

244
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I know they've been working on this, like

245
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,720
I said, like like I talked about for sure, like

246
00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:48,360
we all know that, but still like there's a lot

247
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:49,960
of hurdles that you got to get over. And they

248
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,559
were like, I don't care. They were the guy running

249
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,080
the hurdle race. That's just running through everything right, not

250
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,240
even did not even care.

251
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 3: But he looked happy as hell on the plane.

252
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,399
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, he does have to work for a guy

253
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:02,360
named Boo.

254
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:04,639
Speaker 3: Boo, such a dumb nat.

255
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 4: The audio me and Moose from back in the studio

256
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,399
yesterday for a far We're playing the audio and he's like, yeah,

257
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,159
we're gonna play Bookrrigan here. I was like, well, no

258
00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:17,200
freaking wonder will Wade left end z E state. What's

259
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,960
to work for a guy named Boo? Also, you should

260
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,960
have seen him up there, Oh my god, he looked

261
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,399
like he just lost his new puppy.

262
00:12:23,639 --> 00:12:26,519
Speaker 6: Did I think a lot of people will know Boo

263
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,360
from him? Uh, you know, being a part of the

264
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,720
college football playoff as well and having to hear him

265
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,240
talk about the rankings if you remember going back a

266
00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:37,279
couple of years. Don't worry, we'll get to all that.

267
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,840
We got a lot of show, a lot of show left,

268
00:12:39,879 --> 00:12:45,440
but pretty remarkable how quickly everything came together. We'll fire

269
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,720
it up. I'll tell you that I briefly talked with

270
00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:51,559
him yesterday. He is fired up, to say the least. Yeah, Uh,

271
00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:55,720
to be back and to have the opportunity to try

272
00:12:55,759 --> 00:12:57,279
to finish what they got started here.

273
00:12:57,399 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 7: And it doesn't happen very often. It has happened four

274
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:00,799
in sports.

275
00:13:00,799 --> 00:13:02,879
Speaker 6: It doesn't happen often, but you get a second chance

276
00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:07,320
out of place like this, and to say he's fired

277
00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:11,720
up would be a big, big understatement. All right, we'll

278
00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:13,840
go ahead and we'll take our first break. As I said,

279
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,600
we're gonna have Bobby Carpenter join us. He's gonna break

280
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:19,440
down all the Buckeyes that the Saints have been I hustling,

281
00:13:19,759 --> 00:13:22,519
and some of these mock drafts. The Saints certainly well

282
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,879
represented there in Columbus at Ohio States Pro Day.

283
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 7: We'll have that for you when we jump back here

284
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,360
on OTB.

285
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,279
Speaker 2: Off the bench.

286
00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 6: Her goo to fabt dot com fabt dot com First

287
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,360
American Bank and Trust. They've been in the game for

288
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:45,240
over eight century, right, and the obvious statement is like,

289
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:47,399
you don't stay in business that long unless you're doing

290
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,600
everything the right way.

291
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,519
Speaker 7: And that's very factual. Nineteen ten was a long time ago.

292
00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 6: But one of the things that does set them apart

293
00:13:54,799 --> 00:13:57,600
because they've got all the tools of every national bank

294
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,960
obviously and your mobile banking whatever it might be.

295
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,799
Speaker 7: But when they make a decision.

296
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,639
Speaker 6: They don't call and ask for permission from New York

297
00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:08,080
or San Francisco or Chicago.

298
00:14:08,159 --> 00:14:11,159
Speaker 7: They make it right here. It is very local, so

299
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,080
you get all the.

300
00:14:12,039 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 6: Tools of this national bank, but then you get the

301
00:14:14,519 --> 00:14:17,759
local customer service. It is truly the best of both worlds.

302
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,440

You probably already worked out, probably slinging some HVAC systems

319
00:15:47,559 --> 00:15:47,960
right now.

320
00:15:48,799 --> 00:15:49,679
Speaker 9: Uh, not quite.

321
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 10: I'm actually heading to my workout, getting ready to pull

322
00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:57,799
on the right now my little morning show. So pretty uh,

pretty excited Fridays, you know, story the upper body, palm,

324
00:16:01,159 --> 00:16:04,519
feeling good for the weekend, Gonna hit a little uh

325
00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:06,600
what you like to call street work.

326
00:16:06,679 --> 00:16:10,679
Speaker 9: So it's a teacher class at Ohio State.

327
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 10: And so when I do that twice a week, I

328
00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:16,039
can't really get the road work in and some running

329
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:18,360
the way that i'd like to. So I'm gonna probably

330
00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:20,759
run some one tens this morning and then head in

331
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:24,320
there and fill the upper body day before hopping on

332
00:16:24,799 --> 00:16:27,799
XM with my guy Matt Schickt Moving for a little

333
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,279
college sports today.

334
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,679
Speaker 6: All right, so my co host is not here, Matt

335
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,039
Flynn is in Houston right now. I'm doing a high

336
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,919
Rocks event, Hybrid Rockstar high Rocks. Never heard of it

337
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,200
before he started to train for it, so he's doing

338
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:44,879
that right now.

339
00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 9: What is high Rocks.

340
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,279
Speaker 6: It's a what it's it stands for Hybrid rock Star.

341
00:16:50,559 --> 00:16:53,159
But it's like a CrossFit, a Landra What is it?

342
00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:54,360
It's like a cross It's like.

343
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,159
Speaker 8: A CrossFit type competition where you got to write run

344
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,759
eight kilometers, so it's eight of one kilometer runs, and

345
00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:04,160
in between all the runs you're doing like wall balls,

346
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,839
sled pushes, pulls, burpie jumps, stuff like that.

347
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,559
Speaker 10: Yeah, to quote the legendary Kenny Powers, I play real sports.

348
00:17:13,559 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 9: I'm not trying to be.

349
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,759
Speaker 3: And they're called hybrid rock stars.

350
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 10: Where's the rock star? If you're if you're Flynn, you're

351
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,519
a rock star doing that? You should have to do

352
00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:28,519
that with ingesting some sort of illicit substance like whether

353
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,200
like it's just simply alcohol like a beer mile situation.

354
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:36,319
Can we maybe some crack cocaine whatever it is, Like

355
00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:41,200
Billy Idol said he got off heroin by smoking crack,

356
00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:44,880
so like type of stuff that I'm talking about. So

357
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,160
if he's gonna tell me he's doing some sort of

358
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,640
event like this, flint up his game.

359
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, fair enough, fair enough, man, it's only Bobby can

360
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:53,200
put it.

361
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 7: I knew he'd have a great answer for us.

362
00:17:56,279 --> 00:17:58,319
Speaker 6: Bob, I wanted to have you on this more than

363
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,480
one because of Mission Man and on a chance to

364
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:04,000
do shows there on eighty four anymore, but also I

365
00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:04,920
wanted to ask you.

366
00:18:06,519 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 10: I think Kester, I mean you got you took the

367
00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:11,680
glow up man, It's okay, like very good thing.

368
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 9: You know, I'm here with the stars stars, so I

369
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:15,079
get it.

370
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 6: Okay, that's your words, that's you know, it's not mine.

371
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,319
I'll jump back on eighty four with you. I'm trying

372
00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:23,519
to like get it done where I can do once

373
00:18:23,559 --> 00:18:25,319
a week. I want to be once a week on

374
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,279
eighty four. You and I need to be there like

375
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:28,279
the noon show.

376
00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 10: I'm with that. That'd be perfect, man. I mean, you've

377
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,000
laughed hardstock. There's so much attrition. I mean, listen, they

378
00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:37,920
got this for you. We'll talk to live in mass

379
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:38,960
We get that worked.

380
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 7: Out, all right.

381
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:43,519
Speaker 6: So obviously we covered the New Orleans Saints here, Bob,

382
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,799
and there's you know a couple of Buck guys that

383
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,079
could find their way to New Orleans at number eight.

384
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,079
Now you know, Rvel Reese might be gone, my guy,

385
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,559
Sonny Styles might be gone. You've got Caleb Downs, you

386
00:18:55,599 --> 00:18:57,359
got Cardinal Taate, so a lot of Buck guys and

387
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,839
the Saints were well represented at Pro Day the other day,

388
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,359
you know, and our listeners know what I think about

389
00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:06,519
Sonny Styles, Like, I don't even need to go any

390
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:09,680
more down that road. If I was selecting anywhere in

391
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,839
this draft, like he would be the guy I would

392
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,200
go to But for you, I mean you played the

393
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,519
position for the buck.

394
00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:17,759
Speaker 7: Guys. You know what Sonny Styles is all about.

395
00:19:17,839 --> 00:19:20,519
Speaker 6: You saw him come in and literally like start in

396
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:25,000
the back end, go to Nickel, shift over to Mike linebacker,

397
00:19:25,079 --> 00:19:26,960
have the green dot on his helmet on a Matt

398
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,079
Patricia defense. So for you, like in Sunny Styles and

399
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,319
his fit in the NFL, how do you see a

400
00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:34,960
playing out.

401
00:19:35,319 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 9: So I think you could go and put him in

402
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,200
there and play them at pure Mike.

403
00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 10: And he's a three down guy that has you know,

404
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:44,160
he's got blitzed value, he's got coverage value, you can

405
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,039
play the run. He's two hundred and forty five pounds

406
00:19:47,079 --> 00:19:49,319
and you see him. Hester mean, you guys all saw

407
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,319
his combine numbers and you were there beside him, like,

408
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,119
I mean, he's a big human, like a really large human,

409
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,799
really smart guy. He grew up in a football family.

410
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, I know.

411
00:19:58,839 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 10: Lewis Fredick was talking about out, you know, having conversations

412
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,799
after talking with his dad and they played together in

413
00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:07,559
Atlanta and that's always fun. Stuff is just a football

414
00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:10,880
family and a football guy at him like you're getting

415
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,240
You're getting an all star dude.

416
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,759
Speaker 9: And I had some conversations.

417
00:20:13,799 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 10: There's I've got some friends over there in the in

418
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,359
the New Orleans front office and on the staff, and

419
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,119
I think that they'd be happy with probably any of

420
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,839
those four guys potentially when they draft, and they you know,

421
00:20:24,279 --> 00:20:26,680
they they love drafting Buckeyes and they've done it, you know,

422
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,440
with a handful of guys there, Chris Olave, Pete Warner,

423
00:20:29,799 --> 00:20:33,799
you're still on the team currently. So Sonny, Sonny would

424
00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:36,480
be a home run. Like and the thing is that

425
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,160
he was an off the ball guy, but if you

426
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,519
look at him and how big he is, he's somebody

427
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:42,039
that you can do a lot of stuff with. Like

428
00:20:42,079 --> 00:20:45,119
there's no physical limitations. So really the only limitation is

429
00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:49,319
can he learn like new skills. And you know, I

430
00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:50,839
know everybody wants to be like, well, can he be

431
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,519
an edge? You know these guys dge guys, Well, he

432
00:20:53,599 --> 00:20:56,960
played safety and you know Nickel, like he's never really

433
00:20:57,079 --> 00:21:00,480
played on the edge, and I just think he's never

434
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:03,160
really been asked to. So like, there's things over the

435
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,599
course of his career that I think he has the

436
00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:08,440
physical traits to possess to do it. The guy works

437
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,240
his butt off, So I think if you like kind

438
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,599
of train him in some different stuff. He can begin

439
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,200
to give you value that you probably haven't unlocked yet.

440
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,559
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm right there with you.

441
00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 6: I mean I think he can do so many different

442
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,559
He's twenty one years old too. He's played forty five

443
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,720
games in a Buckeye uniform and he's twenty one years old.

444
00:21:25,759 --> 00:21:27,960
Like that to me is remarkable. I mean, he got

445
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,000
to school at seventeen years old, goes to a place

446
00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:33,759
like Ohio State and finds a way to be on

447
00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:35,839
the field as a seventeen year old, Like that just

448
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:36,440
doesn't happen.

449
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 7: I mean, you know that as well as I do.

450
00:21:38,519 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 10: So, I mean, he was one of the kids tester

451
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,720
that reclassified, Like he left after his junior year of

452
00:21:43,759 --> 00:21:46,200
high school to come to Ohio State. You know, he'd

453
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,079
won a state championship in football, he'd won one in basketball.

454
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,680
And I think it's like, all right, his brother was

455
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,759
already a Notre dame, like what else is left? And

456
00:21:53,839 --> 00:21:56,200
him and his brother are coming out and together and

457
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,480
someone thought like, well, who is older, Like well, Stunny's

458
00:21:58,519 --> 00:22:00,960
older than Lorenzo, And then well how are they in

459
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,519
the same class? Now, I'm like, well, Lorenzo got h

460
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,599
came out, got red shirted, and it was two years

461
00:22:08,599 --> 00:22:11,960
ahead of him. And then Sonny graduated early, no red shirts.

462
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,839
So there there's your two years and next you know

463
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,480
they're coming out together.

464
00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:18,799
Speaker 9: But yeah, I mean it was wild. Like I watched him.

465
00:22:19,079 --> 00:22:20,799
Speaker 10: He grew up to the town beside mine, and so

466
00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:22,880
we played a lot of games against him.

467
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 7: My dad was, Chaster is your town, right, right, And he's.

468
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,519
Speaker 10: From Pickering said, and so we know that there's games

469
00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:31,000
back and forth. And I remember seeing playing against his

470
00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:34,279
brother and his brother's good, you know obviously, and you

471
00:22:34,319 --> 00:22:36,519
needn't know his dad's dad played Ohio State, playing in

472
00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:39,759
the NFL. And then I remember his freshman year. Sonny

473
00:22:39,799 --> 00:22:43,559
pops in there and I'm like, wait, who who's the

474
00:22:43,599 --> 00:22:47,000
older one? And my cause one of the decordings like,

475
00:22:47,039 --> 00:22:50,160
oh he's the older. He's younger, like he's six one

476
00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:53,279
five as a freshman, Like how is that even possible?

477
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,960
Like I was six to one, like one fifty five

478
00:22:56,319 --> 00:22:59,200
as a freshman playing free safety. So I mean he's

479
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,279
always had those physical traits and kind of experienced and

480
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:03,559
not a lot of wear and sere on his.

481
00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:07,839
Speaker 7: Body, all right, So I think RVL Reese would be gone.

482
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 6: I think Sonny Styles has maybe you know, the ability

483
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,359
to go to the Saints at eight if he is

484
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,240
still there. Which if he is still there, go pull

485
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:19,240
your hamstring and select that guy. I don't think the

486
00:23:19,279 --> 00:23:21,680
Downs is going to be there, but Cardinal Tate could

487
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,880
be there, and the Saints are in the market to

488
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,400
add a receiver. Now I've had questions just because and look,

489
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,559
you know, we've we've covered the buck Eyes. I mean

490
00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:32,000
we've gone to their games and we've seen these guys

491
00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:34,759
up close and personal. I think he's a really good player,

492
00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:36,480
Cardinal Tait. I think he is a really good player.

493
00:23:36,519 --> 00:23:38,880
But he's always been a two. He's never been a one.

494
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,680
And there's been some really good guys in front of him.

495
00:23:41,759 --> 00:23:43,960
We all know that as well. But that would be

496
00:23:44,039 --> 00:23:46,319
my question. The guy that's always been the two, he's

497
00:23:46,319 --> 00:23:48,720
always been Robin, He's never been Batman. But when you

498
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,759
select somebody at number eight at receiver, like they've got

499
00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:55,839
to be Batman, why should the Saints select Cardinal Tate.

500
00:23:56,759 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 10: I think he's got Batman ability and he's got Batman talent,

501
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:02,119
just a function of it.

502
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 9: And here's the thing.

503
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,759
Speaker 10: Has I mean, you know, you start looking at this

504
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,640
and you know, and you've got you know, when you're

505
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,559
at LSU and you have Jamar Chase, all right, he

506
00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:13,799
was great, and then you have oh, gosh, what's his name,

507
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:15,559
Justin Jefferson.

508
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 9: Well Justin Jefferson was kind of the two. You know.

509
00:24:18,279 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 10: Then he didn't play the next year, and it's like, well,

510
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,680
you know, is he kind of afterthought? He maybe ended

511
00:24:22,759 --> 00:24:24,519
up being better. You look at the guys, I think

512
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:28,039
it's all relative to the guys that you're with. You know,

513
00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:30,880
he was behind uh, you know, Jackson, and there was

514
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,880
a Mecca was here and then y'all Jeremiah Smith just

515
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:35,839
comes out of nowhere.

516
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,559
Speaker 9: Marvin was there. Take.

517
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,519
Speaker 10: So there's all these were really good and so they

518
00:24:41,599 --> 00:24:44,359
really talented players. And what the thing I think is

519
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,359
the most impressive to me is your receivers are kind

520
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,480
of a different group a little bit. And you know,

521
00:24:51,559 --> 00:24:53,480
you were fortunate to play with some really good ones

522
00:24:53,519 --> 00:24:55,599
who were good dudes, and so is I But not

523
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,880
that they're bad guys, but but some of them, I

524
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,160
mean they play a position where they're I mean, they're

525
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,200
they're the mean, the fancy cat man. I mean, they

526
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,880
have France are Cock and for him to be able

527
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,920
to not like have an ego about that because some

528
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:11,960
guys would get salty.

529
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 7: Yeah.

530
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 10: Then I came in and I was just impressed, like,

531
00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:17,839
never complained and once it get me the ball more,

532
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,960
I need to be the feature guy. Just all right,

533
00:25:20,039 --> 00:25:22,000
I'll show up and work like and if he's better

534
00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:24,319
than me, that's all right. But I'm gonna continue to grind.

535
00:25:24,319 --> 00:25:26,799
I'm gonna continue to do this. And I think it's

536
00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:29,559
that showed in his play. Obviously it's showed in his film.

537
00:25:29,759 --> 00:25:32,200
So I think it's what I love most is just

538
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,400
his mentality about it. He has the traits to be

539
00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:37,279
a number one receiver. It's the function of like he's

540
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:39,559
also got the mindset of he's gonna be a great.

541
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 6: Catch up with our guy, Bobby Carpenter here on OTB.

542
00:25:44,519 --> 00:25:46,319
All right, Bobby, I'm gonna put you on the spot

543
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,720
if you could only select one of those Buckeye players

544
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,359
you had to pick, but you can only take one,

545
00:25:53,799 --> 00:25:54,839
which one are you taking in?

546
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 7: Why?

547
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 9: Gosh?

548
00:25:57,279 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 7: I mean, and you're best player available type mindset?

549
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,079
Speaker 10: Okay, I was gonna say it's just for the Saints.

550
00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:06,599
I'm trying to fit pick needs and stuff too. Oh man,

551
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,000
it's like I said, you got I mean, now you've

552
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,160
got five kids, asked, But like trying to pick between

553
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:17,799
you know, I said this yesterday, It'd probably be Rvel Reese,

554
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,160
just because I think he's still the most raw of anybody,

555
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,240
and I think there's still a tremendous upside. I think

556
00:26:26,319 --> 00:26:28,799
Rvel has the ability if you look at his frame

557
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,759
and he's two forty five, but he has the ability

558
00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:32,799
had another ten pounds and I was.

559
00:26:32,759 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 9: Talking with Aaron Glenn.

560
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 10: We were watching him go through workouts and some of

561
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,319
the other, uh, the gms and coaches that were there,

562
00:26:39,519 --> 00:26:42,680
and like just how sudden Like it's amazing, just like

563
00:26:42,759 --> 00:26:48,000
his sudden power and explosion that he has and I've

564
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:50,319
never really seen anything like it. And there's still more

565
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,960
in the tank that you're gonna be able to, which

566
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,880
I don't know if that's ever the case when you

567
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,920
draft a guy in the top you know, five or

568
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,039
ten or whatever it is, you know he's good, but

569
00:26:59,079 --> 00:27:02,160
there's a lot more. So I think that he just

570
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,880
has the most intriguing upside and he's a guy that

571
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,880
likes to work, So I think you're gonna be able

572
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,119
to realize that as well.

573
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 7: All right, Bobby, we don't want to hold you any

574
00:27:11,519 --> 00:27:13,359
longer from that workout. I will tell you this.

575
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 6: At the combine, every bluck Eye that we interviewed, I'm like, yeah, man,

576
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,559
I'm good friends with Bobby Carpenter.

577
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 7: We're like, oh yeah, mister Bobby. Yeah, he's always in

578
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,759
the in the weight room over at the facility.

579
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 9: Oh, Carneal gives me crap all the time. He was back.

580
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 10: He said, we're gonna go run some sprints today. And

581
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,680
I'm like, listen, man, when you get old. As soon

582
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,400
as you start sprinting, you become stop sprinting, you become slow.

583
00:27:35,039 --> 00:27:37,279
I can't take two consecutive weeks off or then you

584
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:38,880
just the road to being a normal person.

585
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 6: All right, Bob, do this after your workout, google Hybrid

586
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,839
rock Star High Rocks workout, and then make fun of

587
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:48,559
FLYNT some more.

588
00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 7: After you google it.

589
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 9: We'll do a'll sentiment text.

590
00:27:52,279 --> 00:27:53,599

00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:54,839
Speaker 9: Oh go on, guys.

592
00:27:55,039 --> 00:27:58,839
Speaker 6: All right, Bobby Carpenter, Kylie Gover at Sirius XM. You

00:27:58,839 --> 00:28:03,640
can hear him today at one eastern noon local time

594
00:28:03,799 --> 00:28:06,960
on College Sports Today over there on Channel eighty four.

595
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,079
Speaker 7: I was appreciate my god, Bob, you never know what

596
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:10,880
he's gonna.

597
00:28:10,599 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 6: Say or what he's how he's gonna compare something didn't

598
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,559
have hard drugs being on the video card hard?

599
00:28:22,519 --> 00:28:23,759
Speaker 5: Can you say that on the radio?

600
00:28:23,799 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 6: I'm like, Bobby ken, Oh, let me just tell you

601
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,799
from somebody that has done XIM shows with Bob for

602
00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:35,000
five years. He doesn't care if it's local radio, regional radio,

603
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,079
or national radio.

604
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 7: Bob's gonna say what Bob wants to say.

605
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 3: That's why I've never suggested bringing Chris Doring on.

606
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, to be honest, So it's.

607
00:28:46,039 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 3: He might be better about it.

608
00:28:47,599 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 6: On TV, Orah lives away that you wouldn't want to record, right,

609
00:28:51,359 --> 00:28:55,000
Bobby talks away to record fair enough, you know, so

610
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,240
because Doran can quickly turned on the Chris Doran Mortgage

611
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,160
company voice, like I've been in the car with him before,

612
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,880
talking normal and he gets the phone, Hey, yeah, Chris

613
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,240
Doring here with Chris Doring Mortgage. Yeah, we got some

614
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,880
really incredible rates for you here today. And I'm like,

615
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,759
who in the world is this? We make fun of

616
00:29:13,839 --> 00:29:24,079
him pretty bad. So that's Bobby no words, yep, that's Bob.

617
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:27,799
Speaker 7: I don't know, man.

618
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 6: I still like with RVL Reese and I know Bobby's

619
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,279
way closer to the situation.

620
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:32,839
Speaker 7: I don't know.

621
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,359
Speaker 6: Eighteen games total in college does scare me a little bit.

622
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,680
If he's gonna go like two three, he's going to

623
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:40,799
top ten regardless.

624
00:29:40,839 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 7: But I would eighteen games.

625
00:29:43,079 --> 00:29:45,079
Speaker 5: I would take Sunny Styles.

626
00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I would too.

627
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 6: But y'all know that in forty five games twenty one

628
00:29:51,519 --> 00:29:54,799
years old. His brother's in the same draft and ran

629
00:29:54,839 --> 00:29:57,200
a four to three. His dad played in the NFL,

630
00:29:57,759 --> 00:30:01,519
A football family guy, graduated high school early and started

631
00:30:01,559 --> 00:30:04,400
for the buck Eyes like when he was seventeen years old.

632
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 7: There's a lot to like.

633
00:30:06,079 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 6: I mean, look all of those guys from Ohio State, obviously,

634
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,160
but ar Bell Race is not gonna make it to

635
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:11,680
the Saints.

636
00:30:11,839 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 7: I don't think Downs is gonna make it.

637
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,119
Speaker 6: Tate and Sunny Styles could make it to the Saints

638
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,640
at eight and with Tate probably being the one that

639
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,559
has the best chance to make it, but still there.

640
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:27,000
I liked Bobby's answer. But Cornell Tate's not justin Jefferson.

641
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,519
Justin Jefferson, as we said the other day, had fifteen

642
00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:32,359
hundred yards in the season where people call him the

643
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,640
two that was not a two situation. All right, we

644
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,440
gotta take a break. When we come back, we kind

645
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,480
of reset. That's the only time Bobby could join us.

646
00:30:41,559 --> 00:30:44,440
Didn't want to miss that, and we'll truly get the

647
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,079
show started to catch you up on all the things

00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,359
trying to buy a vehicle and they wanted to buy

699
00:33:42,359 --> 00:33:47,160
it at Buy You Automotive and not some ragtag kind

700
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,960
of big box kind of all over the country place

701
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,799
that delivers your car air quotes delivers it, they would

702
00:33:55,799 --> 00:33:59,240
have had their vehicle already because Buy You Automotive would

703
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,759
have driven it here Baton Rouge and they would have

704
00:34:02,119 --> 00:34:05,119

Speaker 5: Why you would have done that show.

711
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 3: Ordering a car online doesn't seem like something I.

712

Speaker 5: Just said this one over here.

713
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 7: It doesn't seem like something Taylor.

00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:30,639
Speaker 5: Right, I didn't want to.

00:34:32,559 --> 00:34:35,679

717
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:43,320
the website. All right, Again, that's the time that Bobby

718
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,599
could join us. Because nothing gets in a way about

719
00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:48,119
Bobby Carpenter workout. So we did that a little bit

720
00:34:48,119 --> 00:34:50,599
earlier than we have planned. But we do appreciate Bobby

721
00:34:50,599 --> 00:34:52,880
hopping on, but we did push back getting the show

722
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,920
started fifteen minutes or so. So let's go ahead and

723
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:56,559
get it started.

745
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 6: Obviously, the big news, well, it's kind of funny, like

746
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,719
because Taylor did lay it out. He's like, you know,

747
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,000
it's kind of one of those situations where there's a

748
00:36:05,039 --> 00:36:07,519
lot of news. But I would say the biggest news

749
00:36:07,519 --> 00:36:10,559
surrounding LSU Athletics is Will Wade coming back. Something we've

750
00:36:10,599 --> 00:36:13,760
talked about in linked over the last two days and

751
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:14,400
I think.

752
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:15,679
Speaker 7: We all agree it just feels right.

753
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 6: This situation might not feel right in a lot of

754
00:36:19,039 --> 00:36:20,599
different cases, this one does.

755
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,519
Speaker 7: When you have a coach that was let go and

756
00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:23,400
you bring him back.

757
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,599
Speaker 6: Nobody wanted Will Wade to ever leave, no matter what happened,

758
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,880
and you go back, you checked the archives of this show.

759
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,599
Speaker 7: I know that was our.

760
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 6: Fielm at least I don't remember where Bob landed on it,

761
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:38,519
but I know for me, like, I'm like, look, I

762
00:36:38,559 --> 00:36:38,960
don't care.

763
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 7: I want Will Wade to be the basketball coach.

764
00:36:41,679 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 6: So he's coming back to LSU, and for the first

765
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,440
time in a very long time, LSU basketball feels like

766
00:36:48,599 --> 00:36:51,440
it matters again because you can say what you want

767
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,519
about Will Wade and how everything went down and what

768
00:36:55,599 --> 00:36:57,920
comes with his name, but one thing you can't argue

769
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,159
with is when he was here, LSU basketball was relevant.

770
00:37:02,599 --> 00:37:07,519
It was talked about, not just locally nationally. It had juice,

771
00:37:08,079 --> 00:37:11,719
it had energy. The p MAC had an actual pulse,

772
00:37:13,039 --> 00:37:16,000
and honestly, like, that's what we're looking for. That's what

773
00:37:16,039 --> 00:37:18,519
we want again, is to be excited to go into

774
00:37:18,559 --> 00:37:21,639
the p MAC, go to those games the women's team,

775
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,480
they do it all the time, and it's an incredible,

776
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,159
incredible energy and you're just like, man if both the

777
00:37:28,199 --> 00:37:30,239
teams that played in that p MAC could bring the

778
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,360
same thing. So it's not just about you know, wins

779
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:38,519
and losses, it's about bringing back and having an identity

780
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,400
to your basketball program. It's about getting to a place

781
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,039
where fans care again, they want to be a part

782
00:37:45,079 --> 00:37:48,239
of it. It feels big when you walk into the

783
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,719
p BAC for a men's game, and I think we

784
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,599
all agree. Will Wade brings that. He brings an edge,

785
00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:56,159
He's got a confidence about him.

786
00:37:56,599 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 7: He has that.

787
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,559
Speaker 6: To kind of make you believe in LSU that nobody

788
00:38:03,559 --> 00:38:06,320
else really has right because even like you know you're

789
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,000
going to a sweet sixteen, it's like, man, I think

790
00:38:10,039 --> 00:38:11,920
els you's got a chance to win. I think else

791
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,559
you can do it, Like Will brings that to the table,

792
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,519
even if like you pulled back the curtain and it's

793
00:38:18,599 --> 00:38:20,760
not fully factual.

794
00:38:21,199 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 7: Will make you believe that it's not going to be perfect.

795
00:38:25,599 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 6: There's probably gonna be some you know sometimes where it's

796
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:35,639
going to be difficult, but there's gonna be excitement, there's

797
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:40,039
going to be interest, there's going to be a real

798
00:38:40,119 --> 00:38:44,000
desire to be great with Will Wade in LSU basketball.

799
00:38:44,039 --> 00:38:45,880
That's what he did the first time that he was here.

800
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,360
It's what he's done everywhere he's ever been. So I'll

801
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,800
tell you this, if you care about LSU athletics, if

802
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,559
you care about that program having life again, you should

803
00:38:55,599 --> 00:39:00,360
be fired the hell up about this because this was,

804
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,840
in my opinion, the only way that you could fix

805
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,199
the LSU men's basketball program from where it was to

806
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:08,880
what we want.

807
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 3: It to be, to just take it back to what

808
00:39:10,519 --> 00:39:11,480
it was before.

809
00:39:11,519 --> 00:39:14,119
Speaker 8: Like, I think he brings that belief because he's done

810
00:39:14,159 --> 00:39:16,920
it before, and like he didn't get to coach whenever

811
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,079
they made it to the sweet sixteen, but he still

812
00:39:19,119 --> 00:39:20,239
like curated that team.

813
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,079
Speaker 3: He still took him to that point.

814
00:39:22,159 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 8: So I think that's why everybody, most people, I would say,

815
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,639
like majority of people are very excited to have will

816
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,360
back because not only that, but like he just has

817
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:32,559
a great personality.

818
00:39:34,039 --> 00:39:36,119
Speaker 7: Like it's not it fits what we want.

819
00:39:36,039 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 8: Exactly right, Like I I guess great personality might not

820
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,719
be the best way to put it, but like, but

821
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:42,440
for us, it is.

822
00:39:42,559 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very entertaining.

823
00:39:44,159 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 8: It's very like you're breathing life into a program that

824
00:39:48,039 --> 00:39:50,920
was dead for the past three or four years.

825
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,039
Speaker 5: And that's all you have to do. Like I hear

826
00:39:53,119 --> 00:39:55,880
people say, oh, can will Wade truly win big?

827
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:56,119
Speaker 10: Here?

828
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,559
Speaker 4: Is he going to fail at LSU's second time around?

829
00:39:59,039 --> 00:40:02,639
I would be all that matters is from day one

830
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,800
he gets here is there's going to be energy guys.

831
00:40:06,119 --> 00:40:10,480
LSU men's basketball they were they met COVID restrictions this

832
00:40:10,559 --> 00:40:11,320
year in the p MAC.

833
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 5: I mean they had room to spare.

834
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,559
Speaker 4: They didn't have to worry about the six feet apart

835
00:40:14,559 --> 00:40:16,920
thing because there was nobody in the building. It was

836
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,199
a graveyard. It's not going to be that way with

837
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,280
Will Wade. Like, yeah, there's a lot of people that

838
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,519
are still going to watch every game. But do I

839
00:40:23,639 --> 00:40:26,119
want to sit there and watch a losing basketball team?

840
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:26,559
Speaker 9: No?

841
00:40:26,639 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 4: I don't, And like, I don't think anybody's going to

842
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,559
be like, oh, in year two, Will Wade's got to

843
00:40:30,639 --> 00:40:33,519
win a national championship. It's never happened here. Like, if

844
00:40:33,519 --> 00:40:35,639
you're Will Wade and you're here twenty years, you make

845
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,760
three to four Final Four appearances, your dale Brown, and

846
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,440
your name's on the basketball court. That's what this LSU

847
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,480
basketball program is. Like, I'm not asking Will Wade to

848
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,119
come in and completely turn this thing around in one

849
00:40:47,159 --> 00:40:48,760
year because it's going to be hard to do that

850
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,320
even with the portal. I see these people though online.

851
00:40:52,679 --> 00:40:56,159
Pete Thamil one of them. Huge shocker there. Pete Thamil

852
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:01,519
said Will Wade back at LSU after a mess process. Okay,

853
00:41:02,519 --> 00:41:05,800
you can hate the fact that LSU rehired Will Wade.

854
00:41:06,679 --> 00:41:09,400
Nothing about this as a messy. From the day you

855
00:41:09,559 --> 00:41:13,480
hired Wade Ruse, you were bringing Will Wade back. This

856
00:41:13,679 --> 00:41:16,280
was this was always in place. You hired way Rus,

857
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,960
you hired he destroyer, you got rid of Scott Woodward

858
00:41:19,039 --> 00:41:21,199
before all that, who is the one who fired Will Wade?

859
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,159
There was nothing about this It was a messy. This

860
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,119
was some he methodical and planned out. Like I know

861
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,360
earlier we were talking about, oh, this happened very quickly.

862
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, to us it did.

863
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,519
Speaker 4: But I mean if you if you go look at

864
00:41:32,519 --> 00:41:35,039
the process, this was all lined up for it. And

865
00:41:35,079 --> 00:41:40,079
then Sean Farnum Farnham yesterday said Will Wade is returning

866
00:41:40,119 --> 00:41:42,960
to the place he left in shambles. He didn't leave,

867
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,719
he didn't choose to leave this program. He was let

868
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,679
go because, in my opinion, you had really weak leadership

869
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,480
at the time. He's back, He's cleaning up a mess

870
00:41:51,519 --> 00:41:53,840
that should never have been made and folk should be

871
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:54,519
excited about it.

872
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:58,119
Speaker 7: You're right.

873
00:41:58,159 --> 00:42:00,159
Speaker 6: I mean, there was some things set in motion and

874
00:42:00,199 --> 00:42:03,719
that allowed this to become a reality, and it wasn't

875
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,559
gonna happen to Scott Woodward was still athletic director. It

876
00:42:06,679 --> 00:42:11,079
just wasn't going to on either side, right Like Scott

877
00:42:11,079 --> 00:42:12,880
Snicker bring Will back, Will wasn't coming back if that

878
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:19,280
was the case. But Urgin's playing no verge, going for it.

879
00:42:20,559 --> 00:42:22,960
Bases are loaded. He ain't worried about a walk right now.

880
00:42:23,639 --> 00:42:26,599
He's trying to light He's trying to find something that

881
00:42:26,599 --> 00:42:28,519
that he can put into play and pick up a

882
00:42:28,519 --> 00:42:30,840
couple of RBIs right now and he's swinging.

883
00:42:30,679 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 3: Meant to do it. Yeah, I said it yesterday.

884
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,119
Speaker 8: You basically got the death penalty without the NCAA giving.

885
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 3: It to you.

886
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,079
Speaker 5: I love we bring the national media love it.

887
00:42:42,639 --> 00:42:45,159
Speaker 6: Sorry, all right, we'll take that break. We'll continue this

888
00:42:45,199 --> 00:42:47,280

Speaker 1: Done from the locker room to the airwaves. Gets off

00:43:56,119 --> 00:44:10,519
the bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.

916
00:44:14,119 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 7: Hello motivation says, he goes out, he goes down to me,

917
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,280
I'll make it mine.

918
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 2: Look, it's up with you. What you want to do?

919
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:22,760
Speaker 7: Coming over you?

920
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 6: All right, welcome back O TV here live from the

921
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:29,800
Raising Kine studio. Do you want to get to this comment?

922
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,960
Jonesy says Jacob. But Will was paying players before most

923
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,519
teams were any study.

924
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 3: That's not true.

925
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,639
Speaker 7: Now I was read one million dollars when other teams

926
00:44:39,639 --> 00:44:40,360
were paying.

927
00:44:40,559 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 8: Entucky before most teams Will were actually incorrect, Like that's fair,

928
00:44:47,599 --> 00:44:51,119
but there are multiple coaches that were under investigation and

929
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,320
multiple coaches that were paying players.

930
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:55,559
Speaker 3: That's just factually incorrect.

931
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 6: I think what the person was trying to do was

932
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,280
saying that's why they were good.

933
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 7: You can't say that because what he.

934
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 8: Did make I was about to say, we did this

935
00:45:05,519 --> 00:45:08,039
last season, like we talked about this last season, because

936
00:45:08,119 --> 00:45:11,079
to answer your question, T Bob was like on he

937
00:45:11,559 --> 00:45:14,519
was a Matt McMahon like keep him like was not

938
00:45:14,639 --> 00:45:16,519
down with Will Wade because him and I would talk

939
00:45:16,559 --> 00:45:18,639
about it and we like did this last season.

940
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at what he do.

941
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 8: You think McNeese has the same resources as everybody else does.

942
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,159
Speaker 7: Two different teams to the tournament.

943
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 6: Right, and the NC statement doesn't hold.

944
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,119
Speaker 4: On twenty and fifteen at NC State and people be like, oh,

945
00:45:31,199 --> 00:45:32,800
that's kind of an average record. Yeah, but they had

946
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,800
a losing record, so it's like you have to you

947
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,239
have to look at what the team was before you

948
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:37,960
got Yeah.

949
00:45:38,039 --> 00:45:41,199
Speaker 6: Yeah, look, this is not the place that you're going

950
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:42,239
to steal our son John.

951
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 7: We are too fired up. We know too much about

952
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,320
what he can do for the basketball progra.

953
00:45:46,519 --> 00:45:49,199
Speaker 8: The people that think that, like LSU cut a two

954
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,760
hundred million dollar check for all of the coaches and

955
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,800
all of the buyouts in one go kill me. Do

956
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,119
you think they're just straight up up front giving Lane

957
00:45:58,159 --> 00:45:59,719
Kiffen ninety one million dollars.

958
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 3: No, that's over what seven years?

959
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,679
Speaker 4: And nobody's saying that Will Wade's gonna come in and

960
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,480
win a Natty year one. But he's won everywhere he's been.

961
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 6: This is the most we've talked about LSU basketball in

962
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,239
four years. Yep, yep, I mean.

963
00:46:12,559 --> 00:46:13,079
Speaker 3: Exactly.

964
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, because we start talking about them and then it

965
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,960
would go south, and then nobody would want to come

966
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,239
home because it was going south, and we're like, okay, cool,

967
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:21,880
you'd be like, we'll talk about.

968
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,559
Speaker 5: It, okay. Gods, why did they lose by twenty eight?

969
00:46:23,639 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 9: Kid?

970
00:46:24,559 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 5: Well, they're not good.

971
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,119
Speaker 6: All right, we got Jared Mitchell'll talk about LSU baseball,

972
00:46:29,159 --> 00:46:31,320
probably football too, because that's what Jay Mitch can do

973
00:46:31,559 --> 00:46:32,280
