Speaker 2: Well, uh more March madness as well.
Speaker 4: Remember pack out the pmack guys, five pm today, the
LSU women's team taking on Florida State. Unless you get complacent,
just remember that little chubby redhead kid that once said
you can't spell LSU without the L. Because anytime we
get a chance to square up with the Seminoles, that
is the kid firmly planted in my head. And so
wherever you are, kid, uh suck it.
Speaker 3: Nerd you're probably like probably in class like.
Speaker 4: Thirteen or something now, and well, actually I can't be
mean those very obsecure time for me.
Speaker 2: In my life. So I hope you're doing well. I
hope you're staying confident.

from head to toe.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly exactly right.
Speaker 4: Something you start caring about girls and then you become
aware of like, oh wait, maybe I'm not like what
girls want, right, And it's just it's just a junior
highs a rough time. So I hope you're doing okay, kid,
But I do hope that you, if you're watching today's game,
that you get very upset about it and lsubat sport
to say I'm in the pedback packet out get crazy.
So we took a team picture in our dinim on Friday,
and I don't know why. Maybe it was my head tilt,
my closed eyes, but I don't feel like I looked
like this in the outfit, just in a moment to
moment basis. But for some reason in the picture, I
look like a Canadian lesbian. I can't explain it, uh,
but it's it's It's one of the more shocking.
Speaker 2: Pictures I don't like. I think I'm done with getting
on the edge of iPhone pictures. What do you mean
it never goes well for the people you want to
be in the middle of the frame.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's a wharping of the uh,
I don't know what it is. I feel like I
think that just fine you just like I feel the
people on the edge always look a little wider, do they.
I'm almost positive here, But to.
Speaker 6: Your point, my face is a lot more round in
that picture than like, maybe like it normally.
Speaker 2: Maybe the camera, maybe the camerages ads.
Speaker 3: Maybe Yeah, let's let's let's dive in. Let's Joe Friday.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Also, bad job by you, tailor not having the fat
red head kid just.
Speaker 5: Whoa means all he's not.
Speaker 7: But hold on, if the kid's fat, he's fat.
Speaker 2: No he's not. He's not though he's not. That's what
I'm saying. He's really not. I was just I'm just
being aggressive.
Speaker 8: Go to the one on my Twitter because that's the
one where Tea Bob's got the weird head tilt going.
Speaker 2: It's it's a happy head tilt.
Speaker 7: How many head tilts you up? Because it's tilted here too.
Speaker 4: I tilt my head when I smile A lot of
times I'm happy. And at that point it had a
couple of beers.
Speaker 3: You know you looked four beers deep.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I ended up getting five beers deep
before before result said and done Friday.
Speaker 8: Morning under I'm so dead. Taylor's like, have y'all seen
the guy that's like, I.
Speaker 3: Think that's a great picture. Like, I think it's your
stance that one.
Speaker 2: No, this one is even doesn't even I don't really
look super.
Speaker 8: This is the one that t Bob thinks he looks
lesbian in great picture.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great picture.
Speaker 4: Your stance is it's the stand looks like a person
who leases a super.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it does sounds you know you don't lease
one bo you own two?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6: Like you don't go anywhere without your dogs?
Speaker 2: Great, anywhere without your dog? That's funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Look, I think I think Taylor smarter pos than me.
Speaker 4: Yeah I know, but look he's turning his shoulder in
more wide.
Speaker 6: From saying like I look fine, Like my head looks weird.
Speaker 9: Yeah you look you all went like one hand in
the pocket.
Speaker 3: Yeah did me?
Speaker 2: Oh my godn't even realize that.
Speaker 3: I had my arm around a Landre. So did me and.
Speaker 2: Taylor are holding and Taylor holding hands behind a Landra.
Speaker 3: We kind of are, and I thought Taylor was going
to maybe do put his arm around me.
Speaker 7: Sorry, I'm I'm grabbing the rail. I think.
Speaker 9: Get Lady Antebellum for the cent.
Speaker 3: Can beat them, but we can't beat Murphy.
Speaker 2: If I was a photo, yeah.
Speaker 5: Well we do. We talked about that. We were trying
to have a deer a Landra segment. Yeah, so yes,
all that's factual. And then you know, I once a
month if we have like a team bonding Friday outfit,
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 7: Bob, this is a perfect comment.
Speaker 6: Brendan Hoff says, Taylor trying to seduce the photographer and
above trying to seduce all the men who see the picture.
Speaker 3: Taylor.
Speaker 2: Taylor is hitting a very cool here.
Speaker 3: That is his LinkedIn profile picture right now.
Speaker 8: Smarler said, Taylor looks like he's about to drop an
absolutely fire Christian rock album.
Speaker 7: I mean that's a scream success.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not gonna lie, I would say everybody,
because anytime.
Speaker 2: You go all you started to veer into Christian rock
album territory.
Speaker 5: We did that on purpose too. There were some people
that are like y'all showed up to work ironically like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no Christian rocky there as well country no country.
Speaker 6: Like Jakes country Little Yeah, yeah, country rock for sure.
Speaker 3: Something country is is.
Speaker 6: The dark denim gives like country rock, like a like
a Brandley Gilbert style something like that.
Speaker 3: I don't know who that fell is but him.
Speaker 7: That's kind of the vibe you give off to me.
Speaker 4: Looks like a ad for a gap second hand store
and lot uh does have a lot of looks like
a stock photo and a frame from Michael's Yeah, I
not sure. Maybe if that said the back exactly. The
backgrounds a little too specific. How the worship team looks
at you when you missed last Sunday.
Speaker 3: Waiting on you come in the door, just waiting on you.
Oh man, Taylor does look like that?
Speaker 2: Do you have ready for a prostatic examer?
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess I am right when you get
a So I've never done this as an adult. I'm
getting my first full body kind of adult doctor check up.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: It's the thing you're supposed to do every year. I
think once you get to be like thirty five.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I'm the world's worst at that moment. I mean, Katie
gets on me all the time doing the things that
you're supposed to do once you reach forty.
Speaker 2: So you don't know if I'm gonna get a prostatic
exammer not on Wednesday, then when I go.
Speaker 5: You're going to the doctor just because on Wednesday.
Speaker 4: Well, no, to get like the I've been told he
told me like a year ago. He told me like
a year ago. Hey, you're thirty five. Now you know,
he's just come in, get everything, get told you down
and see the doctor.
Speaker 6: Like, oh you could get wait till you were like
forty five. I thought it was forty yeah, yeah, Like
it's somewhere in the forties.
Speaker 4: I think it's probably just to establish kind of a
baseline as you start to get to the age in
which this matters. Also, I mean I think, you know,
look the medicine we have now, if you catch anything right,
if you if you catch it earlier, then it's always
going to be better.
Speaker 2: So whatever.
Speaker 4: No, not a Coolenowski though, that's not in play. That's
I got that when I was mentally in my head
a few years ago and they said I don't to
do that for like another decade.
Speaker 9: Okay, I'm just wondering if.
Speaker 2: Just peeing too much?
Speaker 9: Right, and prostate exam, I think so.
Speaker 4: I saw so here's here's something a little out of podcast.
I saw the doctor's wife this weekend, and I'm going
to I said, oh, hey, uh so on Wednesday and
I'm going to see hubby. Uh. I was like, I
think he's gonna take his fingers inside me. We'll have
that in common.
Speaker 3: No, you did not.
Speaker 2: It did not get the laugh. Yeah that I thought
it would. No, No, it's a little awkward. It's a
little awkward.
Speaker 7: Okay, I was.
Speaker 3: I was right.
Speaker 9: I was about Friday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you you shoot your shot like that, I'm
gonna give you a laugh.
Speaker 3: It's whatever.
Speaker 2: Kaylen.
Speaker 4: Kaylen kind of laughed more than cheated, which I was.
I guess that's right, dude, that's my You're a dog,
thank you, thank you. They won't check prostate. Okay, okay, well.
Speaker 3: That's just you felt. I was about to say, you
just felt disappointed right there. Oh well we better make
it three.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 7: He got pretty serious with some nursey started du you
want me to use two fingers better? Make it three.
Wait what is what is this from the end of
Williams Scott.
Speaker 4: I've never seen Road Trip? Actually what I know?
Speaker 7: I mean I'm not Yeah, but like I'm not surprised.
Speaker 5: So he's thirty five though, No, that should be a Wheelhouse.
That should be surprised.
Speaker 4: That is surprising because that is Wheelhouse and I've seen
all the other like movie that era. Yeah, yes, for sure,
such a good movie. If it's a general physician, it's
just blood work. Go see, you're all just for butt stuff.
Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure, Jake, did you ever hear the conspiracy
theory around that movie?
Speaker 3: And did not?
Speaker 6: Okay, so you know Barry he was the narrator, but
he didn't actually go on the trip, right. People were
saying that none of the characters in the movie were real.
Berry just made up a good story so people would
sign up for the school because remember at the end,
everybody's like, that's such a great story. I'm signing up,
and like he got credit. People signed up, and they're like,
he made up the whole story, just like a rumor
that like nothing actually happened.
Speaker 2: So that's not my favorite. My favorite urban myth of
that ILK is the fairis Bueller. One have you seen that?
I have not that Cameron.
Speaker 4: And if you don't know Ferris Bueller, of course Cameron's
having a sick day. Yeah, he HiT's a Ferris Bueller
and they go on this fantastical adventure all day. Uh
but when you think about it, a very good chance
it's all in Cameron's head, right, Some extreme stuff happens,
including at one point taking over an entire parade and
dancing all through the streets.
Speaker 2: And and when you.
Speaker 4: Look at Ferris Bueller, is he not like a projection
of cool, especially to a guy like Cameron who's anxious
and an insecure and it's very much who he wants
to be. Uh So maybe it was all in cameron'son.
Speaker 3: Maybe Cameron was there, but Ferris was maybe not.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, maybe Cameron's just walking around like a little sick.
Speaker 7: Just you know, Ferris was who he wanted to be
he wasn't.
Speaker 4: Actually, Yeah, the good looking girlfriend, I'm guessing Sloan would
just be a part of the uh, of the projection,
because that's.
Speaker 7: The girlfriend that he wanted. Ferris was the guy he
wanted to be. That makes sense.
Speaker 9: If it's just a fun movie.
Speaker 7: That's probably more likely, Yeah.
Speaker 2: But one of my favorite bueller.
Speaker 8: I started watching Suggestion again. I've already seen it, but
like I restarted it last night.
Speaker 4: So that's interesting because that's a show that is awesome. Yeah,
but I don't know why, why, why the why the
impulse to rewatch.
Speaker 8: Because I don't remember the fourth season all that well.
Speaker 9: No, I was like, well, let me just rewatch the
whole thing.
Speaker 3: I would be the opposite.
Speaker 5: I would be like, I want to go rewatch season
one because like to build my foundation back.
Speaker 3: Now that that's what she's doing, right.
Speaker 2: That's the trickle down logic. That's why I'm laughing. I
love that You're like, well, I might as well. You
want to see you reach each four, But I'm gonna
do that. Then I got to understand the context watch it.
Speaker 8: I don't like it's like starting if I haven't seen
it in a while. I don't like starting at like
the end of it. If that makes sense, Like, I
just might as well rewatch the whole thing.
Speaker 6: The end of season one to the beginning of season
two of Succession is phenomenal.
Speaker 2: I think it's all pretty phenomenal.
Speaker 6: I mean, the it is, but that's like my favorite part.
End of one into the beginning of two.
Speaker 2: My favorite part is Womscams. Yeah.
Speaker 9: I love him.
Speaker 2: He's just so funny.
Speaker 6: I keep seeing him in like older things that like
I'll watch now like from him.
Speaker 3: He's a British fellaw with that guy.
Speaker 4: Uh, I'm really enjoying White Lotus as well. I would
take me forever to get through. Oh, sever inc inded
on Friday.
Speaker 9: I started Severance.
Speaker 4: And I'm not as head over heels as a lot
of people seem to be.
Speaker 2: I would say season two was solid. I'm still in.
I'm not out. I didn't quite get.
Speaker 4: Maybe the answers I wanted, but they did enough interesting
things to keep me around for the next time. Maybe
it won't be another three years or whatever was between
these last seasons.
Speaker 8: So I don't know what it is, but I'm going
through this weird thing where like I can't watch unsettling
stuff anymore.
Speaker 9: Like I used to be able to watch like psychological thrillers.
Speaker 8: Yeah, like Black Mirror stuff like that, But like even
Severance is a little too like mind effery for me
right now.
Speaker 9: I don't know what it is.
Speaker 8: I used to be able to watch stuff like that,
but it just makes me think a little too much.
Speaker 4: That is my favorite part about the show is the
core premise, which you know, of course, which is that
like you get a chip in your brain and when
you go to work, basically you're you're you shut off
and another consciousness comes online, so you never have to work.
You get paid and everything, but like you're never consciously working.
You're just like checking in and the next thing you know,
you're waking up.
Speaker 2: And you're done.
Speaker 9: But at work, you're trapped at work.
Speaker 4: But at work, yeah, you have a work consciousness which
works or whatever. But the the ways they play with that,
in my opinion, is the is the best part of
the show. It creates some really mind bending scenarios between
characters and sometimes between themselves.
Speaker 6: So basically what I've gathered I haven't seen the show.
It's like when you're at work, you only think of
work stuff. You don't really know that you have a life,
think like.
Speaker 4: Think of it, like you literally had two separate consciousnesses
inside of you, and it's almost like you'd be going
under for a surgery, so you would walk in. The
second you cross the threshold and to guarantee your your
consciousness now goes off and another one comes online and
the next thing your consciousness now knows, like you would
be like essentially coming back when he walks out of
the building.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you have.
Speaker 4: No memory of what goes on at work. So basically,
to you, you're just living, You're never working.
Speaker 7: I actually like that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, plus on the weekends like yeah, no, no, exactly.
Speaker 4: No, it's it's it's it's it's why it's tempting for
a lot of people. You hold down the job or
you don't ever have to consciously actively I like.
Speaker 2: This idea, But what happens to your inny? Right? And
that's the that's the show. It's a good one.
Speaker 4: But I gotta say there's so I'm like, I'm behind
a White Lotus, but I'm watching it. The female trio
in White Lotus is maybe the best acted trio of
characters I've ever seen in my entire life.
Speaker 2: I grew up around country club women. I still see
them to this day.
Speaker 4: And yes, but it's the blonde I can't remember her name.
Who is really the superstar And it's me, this this
woman who in the show lives in Austin, short blonde hair,
and it is just my god, it's perfect. It's it's
it's it's it makes me like uncomfort like I've seen
my mother and other women around like I've seen these
interactions firsthand. I've said throughout my entire life, and uh,
it's it's it's fantastic, simply fantastic.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Sorry, I didn't mean for this.
Speaker 4: Segment to just be like, hey, what's good out right now?
But alas here we are, anybody else for we get
back to sports next to me? Anybody else want to
chime in on anything entertainment wise you enjoyed over the
weekend or anything of the of that.
Speaker 9: Elk mm hmmm. Snow White's bombing at the box office.
Speaker 3: Yeah, snow White out.
Speaker 8: That's why I didn't even know they're gonna lose like
two hundred million dollars.
Speaker 4: Ooh, it's it's and it's one of those movies actually
actually stop making those.
Speaker 2: And it's one of those movies where.
Speaker 4: You can't even talk about it because it's been politicized
to death.
Speaker 3: Wait I missed, it's all over the.
Speaker 4: I mean it's even got a little like Israel Hamas
in there, like it's it's it's been political, not not
like the movie. It's like it's it's I've never seen
a movie it's it's it's been hugely politicized by all
sides become this like battleground for that. But apparently if
you just actually take the movie on its own.
Speaker 2: Merit, it's not fair.
Speaker 4: It also so yeah, a lot of people saying it
kind of feels like a made for TV movie, despite
the fact that it costs two hundred and fifty million.
Speaker 2: Dollars to make.
Speaker 4: I know my my daughters want to see it's so bad,
and I'm like, oh you got this, mom.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think this one's.
Speaker 9: Going to be for whites, for girls, that's what you
should use.
Speaker 4: Which uh and I love Snow White, right, I mean
the original, the original animated movie, the first ever full
length animated movie back in the thirties.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, Yeah, you just looked up their imb
I am BB rating, right, Alandre.
Speaker 4: Don't look at user scores because again, user scores are
going to be both positively and negatively skewed, because it's
a bunch of people.
Speaker 2: Coming in and be like out of ten, yeah, like
a critic score.
Speaker 5: No well, IMDb rating, So viewers fifty two thousand votes,
two out of ten see.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying, a little bit of that though,
is your classic review bombing because this doesn't represent my
politics one way or another, or it does I like,
I don't know, but but yeah, the critics have all
been it's it's not being good.
Speaker 2: It's nothing.
Speaker 4: Leslie Bibb, that's I've seen of Leslie Bibb shout out,
Oh yeah, she is Ricky Bobby's wife.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ol Carly, yeah huh.
Speaker 8: I forgot slaving over this all day.
Speaker 7: Dominos.
Speaker 2: Oh all right, all right, guys, that was fun.

Speaker 1: Welcome in to the best morning sports this show around
off the Bench with Hester and T Bob.
Speaker 5: All right, welcome back in OTB one O four five
ESPN Baton Rouge. I'm gonna throw this one to Tata because,
as T Bob said, the Saints did make a signing
over the weekend, somebody they are very familiar with, and
Tatay somebody that I know you are heartbroken to lose.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Brandon Cooks. Heartbroken is a word to use. I
don't know if it's the corrector.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 5: You were talking about how now the offense is going
to stall. You're not going to have a receiver two
with CD Lamb being the one. You were really heartbroken
over the weekend.
Speaker 6: I well, you know what I wound up getting over it?
Uh once, I once, I dove a little bit deeper.
He's fine. I think you paid an older Rashidi heat
eight million dollars a year. I think that's what you
did with this move. You look at it. I mean
from the time he was in the league, every year
but one he had one thousand yards outside of his
rookie year. But the last three seasons six ninety nine,
six fifty seven, last year just two fifty nine. He
has declined drastically. He was when they when Dallas signed
him two years ago, was thought to be, Hey, he's
going to be that number two next to ced Lamb.
Take a little pressure off of him. He got passed
by Jalen Tolbert this year and if you're wondering to yourself, who's.
Speaker 3: Jalen Tolber out Alabama?
Speaker 7: That's that's kind of my I.
Speaker 3: Mean he was a third round pick, right, I mean
a third round pick.
Speaker 6: But I mean Cooks you could say, okay, well, you
know he had been injured. In twenty twenty three, he
played in fifteen games. Yeah, six hundred and fifty yards.
I mean last year he only played in nine. But
he just he has not been that guy. He's that
explosive burner is what he was when he came into
the league. He's he's gonna be thirty two years old
about time of the season starts, and he's had injuries.
Speaker 7: He's just not that guy anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean I was actually in Saints camp when he
was a rookie and I got a chance to watch
him work. As a rookie, nobody could cover him. He
was somebody that ran really good routes. He's been a
good player in the league for a very very long time.
Speaker 3: T Bob.
Speaker 5: Here is my issue with it, because on the surface,
I don't mind giving Brandon Cooks this amount of money.
You bring in a veteran receiver, you bring in somebody, No,
it's a two years, do you bring in somebody that
is kind of in the same mold as your two
receivers that have gone through a lot of injuries. So
if they are injured yet again, you have a veteran
player that can step in. He's not somebody off the
street that hasn't been in the NFL in a couple
of years like you brought in last year.
Speaker 3: So I'm okay with it. The only problem that.
Speaker 5: I do have with it is you have yet another
five nine.
Speaker 7: Pound receiver that version of what you already had.
Speaker 5: Yes, that is my issue with it. Like if you
were going to sign somebody for that amount of money.
It's no long term, but it's you know, it's a
nice salary for a veteran receiver that's looking for a job.
I would have probably rather than been six four two ten.
Speaker 6: Could you have just resigned Mark wez Veldez scantling right
like that's I would have much rather that. He's sixty
to one so much did he end up getting the
I don't know, let me check, but I mean he
was good for you. He's plead in this offense recently,
Like I would have resigned scantly.
Speaker 5: Now Tea about the thing that does change the math
here is if they are targeting somebody at nine in
the NFL draft with what we're talking about, be it
Tyler Warren, who yes he is a air quotes tied end,
but also he can be an f in the slot.
Speaker 3: You can motion him wherever you want to.
Speaker 5: And that is basically a receiver that has the skill
set to be able to go block as well, like
you can use him in that way to be your
big physical You have Juwan Johnson as well, you just signed,
so I know you're like another tight end.
Speaker 3: Look, if Tyler Warren's there at nine.
Speaker 5: You love him, you are still going to take him,
right Your Juwan Johnson deal doesn't necessarily say you absolutely
can't do it. But it's Ted Road McMillan for me,
We've talked about it. He's different his size, his ability
to go high point the football, his physicality in his routes.
So if that's your plan, that's why you go sign
another five to ten receiver as an insurance policy for
the guys you've already had that are in that same mold.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's the thing.
Speaker 4: A lot of people are trying to tie this into
the draft and use it as a barometer for what
the Saints are going to do, and said draft to me,
it just very clearly seems like a depth piece that
exists independently on a short deal. Because remember, the Saints
randomly have cap space now because of all the deals
they've reworked and you know, kicked the can again and whatnot.
In the record amount of the cap has been raising
each year, and so you have some money to spend.
It's not a ton of mone that you give him,
it's not a ton of time.
Speaker 2: And you get better. Think you said last year is
Cedric Wilson and Kevin White. No, No, it's a cop
who was No, I'm not thinking of Tipton.
Speaker 4: You had Pettis, right, you had Cedric Wilson, Kevin Austin.
Kevin was awest here right like Brandon Cooks should be
better than them. And it's not a great point.
Speaker 5: I mean, you resigned Dante Pettis, but he was another
one off the street and played in the NFL in
a while.
Speaker 4: So whatever, I guess My point is that this doesn't
preclude you from drafting tetor Roe McMillan, not at all.
Speaker 3: And actually kind of and and I'm kind.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, I'm kind of with you, Jake. Where
the more I think about it, and maybe this has
been position based, because I'd also be happy with gent
for sure, But look at the position that's getting paid nowadays.
It is wide receiver, right And what if you have
in tenor roa McMillan, a thirty million a year wide receiver.
You want that guy on a rookie deal. He represents
a skill set you don't have in that room right now.
Kellen Moore is an offensive coach. You give Kellen Moore
now cookshiehed A Lave McMillan, Alan Kamara in the backfield Like.
Speaker 2: Okay, ma, you can you can maybe be okay with that.
Speaker 4: And of course the god DC four under sinner. Uh
maybe that's to ex kidding hu. I like like this
does feel though, I'm with you, Jake. A lot of
people saying this pushing the away from a Milan. This
actually almost pushes me more towards McMillan in some ways
as well.
Speaker 2: Bringing in a veteran voice.
Speaker 4: Also, they can help teach and teach a younger room
how to operate.
Speaker 5: You know, somebody's been through being a first round pick
and having you know, those responsibilities that are tied to that,
those expectations that are tied to that as well. And again,
like it is a really good insurance policy for what
you currently have. But I still I think you have
to add a difference maker that is not the same mold,
because now you have three guys that are kind of.
Speaker 3: In this mold.
Speaker 5: And if you add say, if you have Chris Life,
if we're going to eleven personnel, right, and we're going
to cross the offense here, and you have let's say
tedor Rod McMillan, and you have a lave and then
you have Shaheed or Cooks on the other side, right
with Juwan Johnson with ak in the backfield. Yeah right,
even Derek Carr can find some plays in that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and and again.
Speaker 4: Now, I mean, like Jake said, it's an insurance policy
against Alava and Shiheeda are constantly getting hurt. And granted,
I guess Cook's kind of at this that point in
his career as well. But if you have three, you
should be able to find two for a majority of
the year, hopefully.
Speaker 2: Uh So. Brandon Cook, Saints' former first round pick.
Speaker 4: Back in Black and Gold, Not your man, says what
character Chris Farley played and Happy Gilmore two?
Speaker 2: Uh, I would have loved it because these answers.
Speaker 4: The bus driver just again, But how great would have
been because I know he's actually in the movie the
real life person is. But what if Chris Parley, Chris
Farley played John Daily and Happy Gilmore too? That would
have been awesome. I would have cast Farley as Daily,
and then I would have had Daily in the movie
as somebody else and made Farley and Daily interact, like
maybe make the real John Daily fake John Daly's caddy.
Speaker 2: That could have been very funny.
Speaker 4: Imagine Chris Farley wearing a beard like John Daly's right now.
Speaker 2: Oh he's so good. Oh, I mean, just I could
say it'd be It'd be huge.
Speaker 5: Comedy shot gun in an old Milwaukee before he teas
o hell.
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh yeah, I was listening to a Daily tell
stories about beaten tiger.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: Just still hammered from the night before smoking Joe's drinking
Jack right before he goes out there started the day
with the Roman Coke's Insane Anyway More OTV coming up.
Speaker 1: Next, Off the Bench, Welcome in to the best morning
sports this show around Off the Bench with Hester and
t Bob Yo is that?
Speaker 2: And y'all welcome back to Off the Bed.
Speaker 3: Did you want to talk sports here?
Speaker 2: We can do whatever.
Speaker 3: They got like three minutes to ask a question.
Speaker 2: Uh is it? Are you upset about us soccer?
Speaker 5: Is that they'll get that. We'll get there later. Whatever
you do, winners lose, do y'all ever wonder?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 5: So like this is a banker, right, and they had
they had multiple yes, do y'all ever wonder?
Speaker 3: And Teve God, you know this person? I think? So
maybe you can give me some insight here.
Speaker 5: Like the Fray is just everywhere you turn on any
show you have to turn on the radio, They're everywhere, right,
and all of a sudden that comes to a stop
at some point. And I think you talked about this
in mobile.
Speaker 3: It just stops.
Speaker 5: Yeah, where do they go? Like what happens? You still
think they just get money off being the Fray? And
they live? So are they? Are they going to Biloxi?
Are they?
Speaker 7: I'm getting on my buddy's batch trip.
Speaker 6: Somebody was playing the Fray and you know we had
we had played like two or three of their biggest
hits and.
Speaker 7: I was like and I was like, man, I want.
Speaker 4: To see the Fray were I've ever heard you wanted.
Speaker 7: To drive in silence? Just drive with nothing playing, nothing.
Speaker 2: Like it.
Speaker 6: Just it just came on on the playlists. We were
not actively playing anyways.
Speaker 7: We were joking around.
Speaker 6: I was like, gush, we got to go see the
Fray And we're like at a bar something up sitting
there and I'm like, where's the Frey performing? They were
in Lake Charles in like August. Yeah, yeah, I think
it was a golden nugget. Yeah, it was one of
them out there.
Speaker 5: It's just it's wild, Like Creed was so big for
a whiles, like and then like where do they go now?
Like they're they're having like a little bit of a
comeback now. But like these bands that are just big
and massive and selling out not only arenas at the time,
sometimes they're going to stadiums and and then all of
a sudden, you.
Speaker 3: Just don't know where they're.
Speaker 5: Matchbox twenty I could give you one thousand different one.
Speaker 9: Is match Box twenty made a comeback?
Speaker 8: I would go anywhere and pay whatever to go see
Matchbox twenty.
Speaker 3: Right, It's just you know, y'all know I love my
R and B like Jagged edge.
Speaker 5: You've got banger after banger after banger, and now it's
like where are you.
Speaker 3: Are you in Biloxi?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Are you playing at casinos? Just making your money? And
because how do you get money in music when you're
not shelling out hit after hit after hit.
Speaker 4: So Rohit says, I take it, see the fray. But
I didn't realize the lead singer left the band. I've
never so disappointed. So I don't think I realized it either.
But the only person so I actually my brother in
law's friends with the lead singer. Uh, And so I've
got a little insight to this. I mean, first I
do think Look, they made a lot more money than
I think I realized, probably at the time. Yeah, because
how awesome their music would get licensed.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. Like royalties, Yeah,
the royalties have a show.
Speaker 4: Royalties have a very long tail. Now in the streaming era,
it's gone way down, and that's why you see a
lot of people putting the thumb on the scale for
touring more because that's probably the best way to inject money,
but or just selling your entire catalog to a streaming
service for a huge lump sum. But I mean, you know,
we were talking about movie second, but that's that's been the
big fight in movies, right, Like old school movie royalties
were insane.
Speaker 10: Uh you could make you could if you had like
one hit, you could actually continue to make enough money
off of that to to feasibly live a contented, normal lifestyle.
Speaker 2: And now in the age of streaming, all that's disappeared.
Speaker 4: And you know, the streaming giants won't give the the
data or or or whatnot to. So I don't know
where music royalties are at nowadays, but I do know
the lead singer of The Fray did incredibly well at
the time, and then he invested very well, and so yeah,
I don't think he.
Speaker 5: Do you ever work Like Bilbo Baggin says, the Fray
was probably played on every single team drama between two
thy seven and twenty thirteen. Oh, there wasn't like an
episode of One Tree Heel that didn't feature at least
a Vampire Diaries natos that he loved the right if
you if you're looking for a show that will bring
kind of new music to you, suits is always a
go to for that, Like you haven't really heard of it,
but you'll get the Hizam out real quick to see
who it is.
Speaker 2: I will maintain one day that Netflix should have fell
in love with.
Speaker 4: That playlist is right up there with Garden State in
terms of maybe my favorite playlist. Ever, it's a little more.
It's got a picture of eighties.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's got too much.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's monitor it just stuff I
hadn't heard from the eighties, but it's it's uh, very good, Okay,
ben Levy's TV residuals or it's really gone to wait now.
That surprised me big because I thought that maybe those
are sick a roundes and streaming services are competing over
the big shows.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I guess I guess not.
Speaker 3: We should do all right, easy, Bilbo, He'll.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll paint. That's that's the same, that's the that's
the same. Pinch.
Speaker 3: I get it. I've been told on this show that
I am the redneck of the show.
Speaker 5: I've been told, Sorry, Bud, you listen to Murphy, Sam
and Jody to hear it said properly or how you
want to hear it.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be.
Speaker 8: You know, sometimes you got to file your nails so
that you can take your contact lens out of your eye.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 8: Make sure ladies file your nails so you can take
your contact lens out.
Speaker 5: What I only know that I can say one tree hill.
He wants me to say it.
Speaker 2: Ah, I thought.
Speaker 4: You were doing like ignoring the plank in your own
eye to point the speck out in the other eye.
Speaker 9: Okay, So I say, y'all, you didn't watch the video,
so I said, and I was like, this is what
we keep losing to. She's like in a car wash.
Speaker 8: She's like in a car wash, and she's like, guys,
I had to get my nails filed because I can't
get my contact out of my eyes.
Speaker 9: And I'm like, oh, you're so relatable, That's.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying.
Speaker 4: You're again regardless if you think of their lane, I
think they're very, very good in their lane.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I had like two likes maybe.
Speaker 2: So anyway, all.

Speaker 3: All Star. Toydof Beenders dot Com.
Speaker 1: Back at it where sports talk meets pure chaos Off
the bench with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 3: What's adding y'all?
Speaker 4: Welcome back to OTV. So the LSU football team gave
some good news over the weekend, as on Saturday, the
news of the day that it was the first full
practice for Northwestern transfer Josh Thompson. Of course, Josh Thompson
ranked is one of the top and tier offensive linemen
during the transfer portal season. Obviously that was a opposition
where LSU wanted to get some help be a starter
or a backup. Thompson appeared on paper piers on paper two,
look like somebody who would come in and slot in
immediately as a starter. He was very highly recruited out
of the portal. You want a very hotly contested battle
for him, and he could not come in the beginning
of spring because he was finishing Northwestern, get his degree
and the quarter sys and whatnot. Well, he is here now,
and this becomes a bit interesting.
Speaker 2: Jake.
Speaker 4: He didn't rep with the first team day one, which
I'm not surprised about that at all.
Speaker 2: What I am surprised about.
Speaker 4: He played exclusively right tackle for the practice. So the
ones on Saturday were I'll go left to right here,
so left tack starting at left tackle, left tackle, Tyree Adams,
paulm Being at left guard, DJ Chester at center, same
thing that you saw the end of last year, Cohen
Eccles at right guard, Weston Davis at right tackle. Love
that lot of young talent, new faces, but a group
in the back Carry's Kern, who again was another guy
that was viewed as an interior guy coming out of
high school.
Speaker 6: They said he could do both. He was kind of
a kind of a curl strainer in high school.
Speaker 4: No, and yes, a lot of this comes across training.
Bo will get that more a second. But the second
team was Carrie's Kern, Ory Williams, Braylan Moore, another highly
sought after transfer who actually ended up taking some one
reps at center as well later in the practice. So
him and Chester starting to rotate Bo Bordelon and then
Josh Thompson. And look, Thompson's the guy that's listed as
like six four two ninety perfect interior size, not really
tackle size. So something I mean, I don't think we
need to make any grand sweeping proclamations just yet, but
something to keep.
Speaker 2: An eye on. Very interesting.
Speaker 4: He was at tackle, like I gain, maybe they view
him as like a swing guard tackle.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Again, I thought he would maybe come in and start immediately,
but it's the first practice.
Speaker 2: We'll see where they end up going from here.
Speaker 5: So you brought in a lot of transfers through the portal,
but you also have a group of players that in
the bowl game we saw go out there and you
could call it a bomb squad, but the bomb squad
actually held their own against baser And so now you
have I think it's a luxury of having you know,
transfer portal veteran players that you've seen do it at
other places compete and push this young group of players
that you recruited. I mean they are homegrown, like you
brought them here to be dudes. Okay, Well now they're
going to battle against each other, and I think it's
awesome because you needed competition, you needed that group to
go up. You're losing basically your entire offensive line outside
of your center, and not only your entire offensive line.
You're losing a potential top ten pick at left tackle.
You're losing a probably top sixty pick at right tackle.
You're losing a Miles Frasier that had as many games
under his belt as anybody you'll find in college football
as a starter. He started from you know, day one
when he got to FIU. Okay, so you're losing.
Speaker 2: And dominated the Senior Bowl.
Speaker 3: He did. He did and dominated ball game too and
kind of took charge. Yeah, okay, I feel bad for
you today. So I do think it's good.
Speaker 5: Like, hey, you're coming in here from Virginia Tech, you're
coming here from Northwest, like wherever you're coming from, we
want you here.
Speaker 3: But just know we're not handing you anything.
Speaker 5: Hey, young players that we recruited out of high school,
we told you you would have a chance.
Speaker 3: Well here's your chance.
Speaker 5: But also these guys from these big places that have
played in college football, well they're coming to so you
have to raise your level of play. Like it's a
luxury to have the young guys step up now, because
now that can be a conversation, it can be something
that is real that you have this competition and try
to let hay the best five. I don't think any
of us know right now what the best five would be. No,
it's even hard to project what it would be. And
I'm talking about even positions. Yeah, like you have a
lot of swing players in there that are going to
be able to play different positions, and so outside of
DJ Chester probably slotting in at center, I don't know
what the rest looks like. But it's not because you
don't have the bodies. You have them now they're going
to compete.
Speaker 4: Yeah again, though, even DJ tester slide and center, he's
starting to run to Braylen Moore. And so what does
that mean that, like, what if Braylor Moore ends up
winning the ones? You still think like, I feel like
DJ Chester's are probably still one of your best five residentially,
So does he bump over to guard? What's the knock
on effect there? Does that knock out Cohen Ecles? Does
it knock out Mabinga who got better as the year
went on? And then where does the Josh Thompson fit in?
So there's a ton to be figured out. It's not
a bad problem to have to think. You have a
lot of guys that can legitimate play on this level.
I'm really I'm actually pretty very confident that the interior
is gonna be fine. The big question, mark, Jake, some
of you agree are going to be the tackles stepping
up because of what you're replacing and because you're gonna
be new guys. And so whether it's West and Davis,
Tyree Adams, like you said, maybe courn or Thompson or
whatever like that's that's the biggest question mark. Those are
gonna be the guys that are really gonna have to
prove that there's not going There's gonna be drop off,
but not too much drop off from last year to
this year, because that's how you puttally Waste nus Meyer
and this incredible receiving core that you're bringing a bear.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like what I saw from Adams last year, but
like Davis was a five star guy, like he had
all this time. Adams was a huge recruit, too, big
time recruit. So hey, now it's now, it's your opportunity.
Speaker 6: I say same for what it's worth. When Braylan Moore
goes to center, d J. Chester has been sliding down
the guard in place of Cohen Ecles Okay, so Chester
has been that guard when Moore's been in there.
Speaker 5: Okay, honestly, and T Bob, I'd throw this right back
to you, you being the guy obviously that played the
position at a high level. I mean there was times
like with some of the pre snap stuff and some
of maybe the taking the charge that DJ Chester didn't
you know, raise to the level you want, left a
lot to be desired and that aspect of it, and
so like he is a player that I think could
play some guard and if you want to get a
veteran player at center, that's not the worst thing in
the world for Relshoe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, not at all, especially Brayleen Moore that you
know mentally has already proven he can do it over
multiple seasons.
Speaker 2: Of that position at that level.
Speaker 4: So a ton still to be figured out, But a
credit to the roster building that Brad Davis has done
both through traditional high school recruiting and to the transfer
portal that although I don't know exactly what the final
answers of the test to look like, I still feel
confident in the final answers because you have a lot
of different options and if you throw enough talented guys
at the wall, like some people will end up sticking.
Who will that be, Well, we'll have to wait and see.
But Josh Thompson now officially there, so lsu off at
the line at full strength for the remainder of spring.
Speaker 2: All right, when we get
Speaker 4: Back here on O TB Ablets kickoff our number three
one of our favorite segments every single week, weekend Winners
off the Bench
