Speaker 1: All Star Toyota presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where.
Speaker 1: The plays get broken down and science gets denied.
Speaker 2: This I gotta come off the bitch.
Speaker 1: Hour two of Off the Bench Live from the Mercedes
Benz Baton Rouge Studio starts now.
Speaker 3: All right, and welcome back here in hour number two
OTB here at one O four five ESPN Baton Rouge
talked a lot of recruiting there in the first hour.
Speaker 4: Let's continue that conversation now.
Speaker 3: Zach Naggy joins us to do so, does a great
job covering the LSU Tigers over on Si, Zach, we
appreciate the time.
Speaker 4: Thanks for wrapping on with us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my man, how's it going on?
Speaker 4: The old man going great?
Speaker 3: And look for LSU fans, I'm sure they're pretty happy
this morning as well. Lamar Brown from you High, there
was you know, speculation kind of leading into it. Is
it going to be A and M Is it going
to be LSU? And Zach you've certainly seen this play
out as well. You just you don't know. Sometimes with
local guys, like a lot of people feel like you
have a massive advantage and sometimes you do, and sometimes
it's a complete opposite because maybe they want to go
somewhere else, maybe they don't want to stay close to home.
Speaker 4: But this is a huge get for LSU.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think a huge get. It is kind
of an understatement. This is a guy who, in my opinion, man,
it's kind of a unicorn, a two way athlete in
the trenches that can really play either side of the ball.
He wants at the next level, and to go out
and secure him and really really him away from Texas
A and M at the buzzer is a big one
for this team and really shows the recruiting efforts and
the new era that this quote unquote front office of
Austin Thomas and Company are really starting to put together.
They're doing a fantastic job. They're locking down the Bayou
State of course right now, and it's been an impressive
haul so far in the twenty twenty six class. So
to add Lamar Brown to that is a tremendous get,
like you alluded to, and I think they're really, really,
really really starting to dominate this hole so far.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: When you look at Brown and Anderson now in this
class and both committed to you both you know, Luisi
and a guy, so I know it's not over until
it's over, You're not going to, you know, really maybe
celebrate till you get to the finish line. They signed
in all of that, but they feel incredibly solid right
now to LSU, and if it does end up happening,
we were talking about it earlier, like when LSU has
been its most dominant, it's had guys like this up front,
and so this feels like a pair that with LSU
and where they're currently at on their defensive line, could
probably come in and play as true freshman and play
right away.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt. And you add those two guys alongside
Trenton Henderson, the number one Edge from the Sunshine State,
and you're looking at a hall down in the trenches.
That's fantastic. Those are three guys that have five star
caliber status on whichever recruiting site you want to use.
These are guys that can come in and make an
instant impact, like you said right there, and it really
shows the recruiting efforts of Ed Rusher's coach, Kevin Peeple's here.
He's starting to lock thing down and become more of
a stavvy recruiter on the trail. He's got three big
time names already pledged and he's looking to add more.
I don't think he's done just yet. So you could
see a fantastic Hall in twenty twenty six class moving forward.
Like you said, whenever LSU's been dominant, they've had guys
in the trenches that can really handle business. And now
you're looking at the number one defensive lineman in the
country in Richard Anderson from ed nacarr pledge to the program.
You got Lamar Brown pledged too, who has intentions of
playing defense too, despite being the number one athlete in
the country. And then you got a number one edge
in Florida in Trendenderson committed. So the Hall is so
far has been fantastic, but the future is bright down
there on the defensive line. And you got to give
Kevin Peeple's his flowers. Man, He's been doing a fantastic
job and I'm excited to see how he continues moving
forward with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Zach, let's flip over to the other side of
all and kind of I want to ask you about
the most important position on the field at quarterback. Now
LSU has kind of whiffed and missed on Bo Bentley,
then again Bryce and Fever, what does LSU do in
this recruiting class at the quarterback position, and what's your
opinion on everything leading up to this point.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's a million dollar question, right. Everybody
wants to see what type of signal caller I think
I try to bring in the twenty twenty sixth class.
They hit the portal once again, So that's the one
that everybody wants it from me. I think you've seen
all the success that this program's ad in the transfer portal, right,
whether it's Burrough, Jaydon Daniels, etc. We know that in
this new era of college football, you can go out
in the portal and gets your kind of franchise guys.
So I'm not quite sitting here and saying they need
to go get somebody in the twenty twenty sixth class,
but certainly whipping on Bo Bentley is a big time
miss for this program, just because he's really starting to
hit his stride on the prep team. This is the
guy who's been a fast riser in the recruiting rankings,
a guy who had a ton of interest, a ton
of offers. Ultimately trimmed his list obviously to LSU Oklahoma
down the stretch. So to miss out on BO is
a big time miss for this team in this program
so far. But obviously fall brings the flip season right.
You can continue to attack players and see if you
can turn up the heat on whoever you want there.
But if you try not to do that and you
decide to kind of shift focus to the transfer portal,
we know what Joe Sloan can do on the recruiting team.
He is one of the stabbiest recruiters in college football.
And I think if you need to hit the portal,
which all signs to point towards them doing that, I
think you could go out and get a guy who
can make an impact.
Speaker 2: If need big e Zach, I mean forever. The the
kind of the rule of thumb on the big colleges
recruiting was take a quarterback out of high school. Every
single year. You gotta take on because you got to
have people in that room. Never know who's going to
hit you, never know who's going to transfer. Whatever do
you do you put as much emphasis like you personally
do you put as much emphasis on that In this
day and age with the nil and the transfer portal
taking a quarterback out of high school every year, with
that kind of safety net that you have that you
can always go in the Nile.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's a great question. I think no,
if it's not as important anymore to go out and
get a quarterback in your transferport of class seats or
in your recruiting class. Each year, you can go out
into the portal and go get an instant impact player
if you need to. And I think a lot of
people obviously are sitting back and wanting to go get
a twenty twenty six signal caller, but people are forgetting
she went out and got Michael van Buren from the
transfer portal last year last offseason, rather so to make
that kind of falling behind and people are kind of
losing focus on that is. It's something that definitely blows
my mind a little bit. This is the guy who
started as a true freshman in the SEC put up
a fantastic game against Georgia on a really kind of
struggling Mississippi State team with a lack of weapons. So
we know ELISU always has weapons on the outside. I'd
like to give Michael van Buren a little bit of
a chance as well too, just a guy who's a
youngster and has a bright future in the game, of course.
But like you were saying, if you need to hit
the portal, what you're likely going to do. I think
they're gonna do that and move forward is something that
I'm intrigued to see unfold this ball.
Speaker 3: So Zach, when you look at this class, it does have,
you know, a lot of positions kind of taken care
of right now if you can hold on and get
to the finish line like we talked about, But where
do you think LSU needs to continue to work they
need to add? Is quarterback maybe now priority number one?
Or is there somewhere else?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think quarterbacks obviously going to be one that
see them try to intensify a flip pursuit of this fall.
But the wide receiver room is one that you just
got to hold on to. Man, you got Tristan Key's
the number one wide out in America, fleds to your team.
You got your Bari Max Kenny Darby. Those two guys
have shut down their process and said that they're going
to make their way through. But the one that you
got to keep pushing for is Tristan Key, a guy
who's really really had interest from every school in the
country for good reason, taking his fair share of visits
to Tennessee, A and m Miami, etc. So she's really
gonna have to keep their foot on the gas here.
This is one that you kind of have got to get,
that must have you got to get make his way
to campus. And they're also not done at that wide
receiver position. You're going to see them try to turn
up the heat for Jason Matthews, one of the top
wide outs in Mississippi as well. The goal for this
program is to get four wide receivers in the class.
It got three committed and so moving forward, kind of
that need for this team is to a keep christ
and Keys in the class and b go out and
get another receiver to add to that embarrassment of riches
that you got at the wide out position. I think
this fall is going to bring a lot of twists
and turns. It's going to be exciting to see how
this staff navigates it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we about ten fifteen years ago kind of LSU
coined the phrase DBU and it's been more like wide
receiver you recently in the recent history at the LSU
program with a lot of success. You just talked about
the wide receivers, but like talk about secondary corner safety,
any commitments that we have, any people on the radar,
How is that class shaping up and are we going
to be able to see us kind of get back
to that DBU status.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Corey Raymonds is a recruiting guru, and I think
the whole world knows that the guy who gets what
he wants. We saw him do it in the twenty
twenty five cycle with DJ Pickett, and this is a
six to four, one hundred and ninety pound menace, the
guy who's really ready to make it sit impact in
year one and so he's proven that he's willing to
do what he can to bring back that DBU catchphrase,
of course, and now you're starting to see him do
it in the twenty twenty sixth class as well. Go
out to the West Coast and get Haven. Finney Junior
is one that definitely needs a little bit more of
a tension. I think he's getting swept under the rug
a little bit. As the top ten cornerback in the
country player who was the top cornerback in the twenty
twenty seven cycle before reclassing and moving up to a
senior year and going into the twenty twenty sixth class.
So Haven Finny's a guy that can come in and
help bring back that DDU kind of culture in Baton Rouge.
And then he got Isaiah Washington, a player that I
want to talk about too. Man, He's special. He's a
guy who's gonna come in being recruited as a defensive back.
He's a two way star on the prep seam, but
I think you could see his recruiting ranking rise in
the next up dates. Is the guy who has a
ton of buzz, generating a ton of buzz within this
coaching staff, a player that they wanted in the twenty
twenty sixth Hall got them to shut things down on
July fourth, and I think if he continues to evolve,
I think the player that could be a big time
guy for the Tigers moving forward. So yeah, a lot
of people want to talk about wide receiver you right now.
But obviously that DDU phrase is coming back. Corey Raymonds
helped doing that. He's obviously the architect of it. And
I think you're starting to see guys like Havin Finney,
Isaiah Washington etc. Start to epitomize that moving forward, as we.
Speaker 3: Look at the state of Louisiana, pretty much every top player,
no matter what site you're looking at, the top ten
is already committed somewhere. A bull of those are two LSU.
You've got three or four depending on where you're looking
committed elsewhere. Is there anybody Zach in that groove that
you think LSU has an opportunity to maybe flip them
and have them sign with the Tigers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think when you look at that top ten
right now, I think the program's got what seven or
eight for the top ten players in Louisiana committed so far,
the two kind of being Dylan Barremont and Blame Bradford
of course, kind of that crown jewel the defensive backfield.
So I think Blame Bradford has kind of shut things
down for the most part when it comes to the
Ohio State Buckeyes and being pledged that way. Obviously one
of the top players in America for a good reason.
He's an absolute stud at a Catholic high So for me,
I think they're pretty much done in the top ten.
I couldn't envision Barmont flipping the LSU, they got a
ton of defensive linemen in this class. But for me,
when I'm looking at kind of the top fifteen, top
twenty players in the state, Darius McKinley is a guy
who kind of piques my interest as a player that
LSU could lay in in this twenty twenty sixth class.
Obviously got some family ties to Dominic McKinley, a former
five star top player in the state. So for me,
Darius McKinley the guy that I kind of circle as
one that could join this twenty twenty sixth class if
they continue to intensify that pursuit. Obviously a fantastic player,
but when it comes to that top tense blame Bradford
has showing his intentions when it comes to Ohio State.
And then Bearmont's a guy that's obviously a position that
LSU's kind of loaded up in right now.
Speaker 2: So a second ago, you brought up Corey Raymond and
the impact and the kind of the recruiting guru that
he is, the impact he has on the defensive backs.
But I want to ask, with this recent success on
the defensive line, what rumblings any rumors that you've heard
about the impact that the new hire of Kyle Williams
has had on that recruiting because as a former teammate
of his and a couple of different teams, I can
tell you there's not a guy that's better at talking
in a room one on one that you can feel
his passionate about what he does in the sport and
is such a great motivator and a speaker to people
like so, I just I have to believe that he
has had a huge, huge impact on the recruiting trail
and a guy that these people, these players, these high
school kids want to come and play for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think obviously Kevin Peeples is getting a ton
of respect and flowers right now, as you should. He's
dominating right now. But the one two punts of him
and Kyle Williams is one that needs to be getting
more attention as well. Like you alluded to there for
him to make the transition to being a college coach
at LSU and the maintaining the players on roster is
something that's extremely important. That's recruiting efforts in itself to
keep those guys committed and locked in with the program
like in a mod bro dominic McKinley, etc. To keep
them in Baton Rouge is a huge recruiting effort itself.
And then you pair him with Kevin Peeples in the
recruiting scene on high school and to keep Richard Anderson
committed to the program, go out and get guys liked
Anthony Lafiette, Lamar Brown, etc. The recruiting efforts that he's
putting forth obviously is significant. I don't think it's getting
enough attention. But that's the guy that commands the room
when he walks in it. Obviously that NFL pedigree, been
around the block, been there, done that. Obviously, it can
uh talk to anybody, talk to talk to a wall.
That is the guy that knows what he's talking about,
knows this stuff. When recruits hear him speak, they know
that they're talking to a guru. So yeah, I think
Hevin People's is getting a ton of attention right now, rightfully,
So Kyle Williams the guy that deserves that respect as well.
Speaker 3: On the recruiting scene, are there, he is zachnag, you're
good enough to join us and break it all down
When it comes to L s U recruiting again, does
a great job covering L s U for s I, Zach,
we appreciate the time, thanks for hopping on with us,
and thanks.
Speaker 4: For the insight.
Speaker 5: Appreciate our man.
Speaker 4: All right you as well. We up to nine great
questions for Flynn.
Speaker 6: He has a lot of great questions.
Speaker 4: No, Lewis is just hitting the sky right. Well, I
don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know if Lewis actually touches grass, So maybe
maybe he's punching.
Speaker 2: Great questions. I did I said a word I said
in the n I L and that's meant to say
the poor.
Speaker 7: It's okay, I mean.
Speaker 6: You're yeah.
Speaker 7: You also got a million dollar question, which I don't
know where we rank those.
Speaker 6: A million dollar.
Speaker 7: That's the million dollar question when you said.
Speaker 4: It can't have money, heater.
Speaker 2: Let me let me just bring something that from that
from his answer, there is the impact that Kyle Williams
has had on recruiting. I can only imagine has been
very significant, if not huge, because that guy is uh.
I can only like I know him very well. I
know how he talks and speaks. And if he's sitting
there talking to somebody that's in high school, and that
high school kid is trying to decide on what coach
he wants to be in a room with every single
day for his career. I would imagine that Kyle Williams
is head and shoulders above any other defensive line coach
that he would sit in a room with at any
other school.
Speaker 3: I can't agree more because of who he was as
a player, who he is as a human being, as
a motivated I said the way that he motivated. And
I was on teammates with him for I think two seasons,
but that's all I needed to see.
Speaker 4: And I had to play against the guy in the
NFL YEP, and you see.
Speaker 3: The videos, you hear the stories from people that played,
you know, eight nine, ten years with him in Buffalo,
that is. And the thing I love about Kyle, And
if you've ever met him, you know this, He's not
going to sugarcoat it either. Like as a parent, it
would be so refreshing for me to have somebody come
in there and just hey, here's what it is, here's
what it's going to be. And if we do a
B and C, we'll get you to the finish line,
which is getting drafted, walking across the stage and playing
at the next level.
Speaker 2: Right, And this isn't this It's not about like putting
anybody down or saying saying anything like that. But Whenella's
shoot lost O Davis, it was a big hit, right,
it was out out of the blue. But then when
I heard they signed they were going to hire Kyle,
which I had no idea that was even an option,
I was like, oh my god. I was like, and
I don't know if like the term like upgrade or
anything like that hit my head, but I was like,
oh my god, they just got better at that position
from at least a recruiting standpoint of guys wanting to
be there, Like Kyle has didn't have the experience like
coaching on the field and everything like that. But go
back and watch there's clips of him like speaking to
the bills before games and in the locker room and stuff.
Just like go watch and said, that's the guy that
is recruiting now. And since he's been recruiting, we're pretty
much we're stacking up some wins on the recruiting jail.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll be back more OTB here on one
of four five ESPN Ben Rooge.
Speaker 4: A right, go to Central plumbing dot org.

Speaker 9: This is like, okay, so summertime for all of us
is so dead, and this is like the time for
me to catch my breath because once football season starts,
it is underwater, underwater until now again, like because it's
football season and then basketball crosses over.
Speaker 6: The jury is still out on that.
Speaker 9: But and then basketball crosses over, and then softball and
baseball crossover with basketball, and then obviously baseball is super
busy as well. So it's just right now, you're just
trying to like chill out and catch your breath and
get your life together before the chaos ensues. I tried
to take like a little vacation before too, But yeah,
I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't really know that it's gonna affect you too
much talking to Flynn here, So for all.

Speaker 3: Yet in the fall, Taylor and Landra have produced more shows.
Speaker 4: You travel. I don't know if you I don't know.
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 6: What the I'm personally not gonna do whiskey and wine.
Speaker 4: Okay, I did. Look, I didn't want to say, you're not.
Speaker 6: I'm not going to. I don't know what the plan
for it is.
Speaker 4: No, I have no idea was doing it.
Speaker 6: Oh Flynn, you're doing it.
Speaker 10: No.
Speaker 2: People in the chat have asked me if I was.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 6: Maybe I think i've you like white Claus.
Speaker 2: Who doesn't claws show me someone that doesn't like I
saw you a liar.
Speaker 3: I have only indulged in white claws one time. Yeah,
and it was for Flint's birthday.
Speaker 6: I like white claws, but I kind of like it's.
Speaker 3: Like, it's like what you had available, and yeah, me
you t Bob Dick Dixon, will Arnold Sherry, the cheery.
Speaker 4: I don't know. We had a lot of a lot
of claws that day. And there was a lot of.
Speaker 2: Uh ain't no laws when you're drinking class.
Speaker 7: When they first got really really popular, I was in college,
so like, I went and bought a little like variety
pack and I like four different flavors in them. It's
not that they were bad. It's just like the black
cherry and the lime just kind of tasted the same.
There wasn't like a ton of flavor. It's like a
skittle pack. Yeah, yeah, kind of like the red skin
on the green skittle.
Speaker 2: There might be a little different.
Speaker 4: I feel like, I feel like you can tell a
difference in a skittle.
Speaker 9: No, I think so, I don't believe, But it's not
a huge different all right, there's some different notes there.
Speaker 4: I'm hanging up.
Speaker 9: My smoke smelling clothes and my my uh smoke smelling hats,
my don Juan hat that I wear every time I
go to Don Juan's in my hair. I try to
save it as much as I can, but it doesn't work.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I didn't, you know, I didn't know the plan,
and I just knew, like you know, both of y'all
do extra stuff during the fall and coaches shows and
different things. And I do have to travel to the games,
and we travel for serious XM too. We have like
four or five every year that we go to and
cover those games, and so just on the road a
little bit more.
Speaker 4: But for you, nothing really changes, so I don't want
to hear.
Speaker 2: You it's huge.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Actually summer is my busiest time just because of you know,
hydration company. You know, it's pretty hot in the summer.
So that's like when we actually hear in Louisiana. You
could use it anytime com drinking my high doc.
Speaker 9: I haven't told our our program director, Matt Moscona, that
I'm not doing it yet, So.
Speaker 4: He's probably gonna come down here. He's probably gonna be
waiting on you outside the door here.
Speaker 9: I'm retiring, I don't know, I don't know, but he's
probably listening, hanging up the jersey.
Speaker 6: I'm hanging up the jersey two years.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of you know, just.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of stuff on tape.
Speaker 4: And doing things to a blow up pig that you
should never do.
Speaker 2: I would say that show, more so than this show,
would be like the hardest to replace because.
Speaker 6: It's the so just I would say.
Speaker 2: People know about whiskey line yelling.
Speaker 9: And I have gotten more questions about whiskey and wine
than I have about anything else.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm be honest with you. When T Boby
decided to leave every question that I got, it wasn't like, Okay,
what's going to happen with OTB?
Speaker 4: What's gonna happen with whiskey and wine?
Speaker 3: I'm talking about like if I got one hundred questions,
ninety two of them or whiskey and wine, and eight
were OTB. Because of what Matt just said, you can't
replace T Bob.
Speaker 2: On that show.
Speaker 7: Matt, you could go out there and hamp on inflatable
hol like T bub did you can do that?
Speaker 9: That sure is just texting me, he said, working on
the Whiskey and White Claw graphic as we speak. So
you're you're in Flynn.
Speaker 4: You like Flynn?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 6: You said sorry accepting my retirement.
Speaker 4: Are you checking my letter?
Speaker 6: Are you accepting my retirement?
Speaker 2: My children are old enough to where they figured out
how to use YouTube. I don't know if I could
consciously do that.
Speaker 4: We don't have to be you know, you know as wild.
Speaker 2: And when I watched LSU football game, I'm pretty interesting.
I usually like to watch them at my house with
nobody there, I mean my family there. But I don't
like to have like a watch party or be somewhere
because I get like so locked into the game. I
have a big TV in my living room and I'm
like eight inches from it, like watching it, Like I'm
so close to it. I got to move my head
left and right like to see things, and I yell
a lot. I get intense and I feel like I'm
in the game. And so I don't like to go
to watch parties where I can't hear yeah, like the sound.
Speaker 4: And might here. So you turn the TV down and
turn me and blair up.
Speaker 7: Yeah you're talking about I get you for sure. Like
the only time I ever have a watch party yeah
is like wow superbos because like, let's remember, I'm a
Cowboys fan. My team's never in the super Bowl, so
I don't really care. So it's like that's I'll have
a watch party for that. But fellowshoe, yeah, no, I'm
kind I'm kind of with you, yeah, and just sit
home and get mad.
Speaker 3: I don't want I don't want somebody else to have
to experience watching LSU with me.
Speaker 4: Like it's not like I don't want them there. I
don't want them to have to go through that, right.
Speaker 2: It's not fun for anybody around me. I don't think.
I mean, I tried to be conscious, a little self
aware if you will, of my surroundings and what I'm
doing insane, But when you're watching LSU, it's just like,
not just leave me alone, let me watch this game.
I know, I don't want to come over to a
pool party because you're watching it outside in your outdoor kitchen.
Speaker 4: I don't want to do that.
Speaker 2: I want to send my liver room controlled environment. I
want to have the see on to like sixty eight
degrees and I want to watch this thing. That's why
we go to like a couple of like physically go
to a couple of games a year. I mean, for one,
you know, it's like it was challenging with like younger kids.
But my kids are starting to get to that age
where they want to go a little bit more. So
we're gonna we're gonna go to some more games this year.
But I like to be locked in the living room.
Speaker 4: With the TV turned down and the radio turned up.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so did you. I used to go to
games as a kid, and you set and my dad
used to sit with his little little radio and he
had his headphones on at the game and the bleachers. Yeah,
anybody out there do that. They still do that. They
still do a ton of people still do that. Yeah,
that's what I do in my liver room listening to you.
I don't believe you.
Speaker 3: Because we would be ahead if we were on your
headphones and you're watching on TV. That's why Chris Blair
always says, before we get started to sync up with
the call and the TV.
Speaker 2: How do you do that?
Speaker 7: He explains it on the commercial.
Speaker 9: On you pause the TV and then because the TV
is behind or ahead, so you pause a TV and.
Speaker 2: You wait, he's ahead.
Speaker 6: That's what the commercials said.
Speaker 4: That's what.
Speaker 2: Ra ahead.
Speaker 6: You can pause the stream.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you do it.
Speaker 3: On like your Alexa and yeah, you're not you're not
turning on the radio.
Speaker 7: You doing so like pause the app, let the TV
catch you up.
Speaker 2: You use it Siri to listen to radio. Isn't that
what like radios are for?
Speaker 3: You can't like, hey, Siri, play one, O four five, ESPN, Baton,
rouge and up.
Speaker 2: You have to have like a radio app to listen
to regular.
Speaker 4: What are you just like?
Speaker 2: You know, I've never listened to FM radio on my
cell phone. Sorry.
Speaker 7: It's probably a lot of easier now, but like I
used to get so pissed because at the stadium one
time my dad bought the Lawyer piece like the LSU sold.
All you did was turn it on and it was
one like that's it. You have to see a kid.
It did nothing else but for away games. We're sitting
on the couch. He's still listening to the call. This
is Hawthor one at the time and it's l s
U Georgia. You guys remember the big Charles Scott run
when they were in Athens. Okay, sitting on the couch.
Uls she was going for the winning drive, you know,
fourth quarter, five minutes left. All of a sudden, I'm
sitting on one couch. My dad's on the other. He
puts his hands in the air and starts cheering. He's like, yes,
Charles Scott, I'm like, what the hell just happened to
the next playf watching it, I'm like, this moment is
ruined for me. Oh my god, didn't even I didn't
even cheer. I'm like this, this is ruined for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, even like when the TV in the same home
is ahead a little bit.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So my son was watching LSU Coastal Game one when
Caid you know, went the distance and when they got
the final out, like we were about eight nine seconds behind,
he comes out, let's go, and I'm like, I'm going,
that's happy because LSU won.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I know. I was trying to refrain from texting
the group until like a few seconds you were you
were actually boots on the ground.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm trying to think LSU made a big field goal.
Maybe it was it might have been the Kaid York
in the fall.
Speaker 3: Or I was watching it by myself because I'm not
watching LSU Florida with anybody.
Speaker 4: There's nobody that's not gonna happen. Nobody wants to be
around me.
Speaker 3: I have to now because I'm calling the game now, yeah,
seventeen pencils are broken. But I didn't know. Like so
my room was hardwired. Everything else was like wireless. So
I was getting it a lot faster than everybody else.
And typically, like I wouldn't run that, but man, I
came out of the room sprinting because I mean, look, kay,
we were twenty one point dogs to Florida on the
road and a guy throws a cleat and because of that,
we get to kick a field goal that nobody could
see where the field goal posts actually were, but he
nails it right down the middle.
Speaker 4: Was fifty six, fifty seven yards whatever it was.
Speaker 3: And so yeah, everybody in the home knew who he
made that field goal before they saw it.
Speaker 2: I don't know about y'all, but like, just this whole
conversation has got me so ready for football.
Speaker 6: So ready.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm so excited.
Speaker 4: Some would say, let's go, if you want it, you
can get it. Let me know. LFG Well t Fane's
part of that song boom, let's go. Yeah, what is
that song? If you want something, come get some.

other day because it was trick Daddy Anti Pain And

we come back, we're sorta kind of maybe gonna talk

and shipped off to be graded. We're gonna we might
do a little rush grade.

Speaker 3: Got some heavy hit we brought the we're sending off
to p s A to get graded, and uh, should
we go through them now?
Speaker 4: I think we should? All right, yeah, looks out for
the video.
Speaker 2: We go through a couple here, we'll go through the
other couple maybe maybe in a few segments. This is
the number one right here. Well that's not the number one.
We got a couple number ones. Check this one out.
This one's called Jane Daniels Downtown. He's pretty good.
Speaker 4: I ever heard of it.
Speaker 2: We're gonna send this one off to get graded. It'd
be really nice if we got a ten. Let's see,
we got Caleb Williams. You want to play? This one
is international select.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can only so you can only get the
dragon scale on the international boxes, and that has a
very Game of Thrones feel to it. With the dragon scale.
This is a gold drag Art is a gold dragon.
That's the best dragon scale that you can get. It's
out of ten, so only ten of these made a
couple of double doll hairs and Flynn's hands over.
Speaker 2: There, right, last one I'll bring up right now.
Speaker 3: Rock Bowers white Pandora, white Pandora uptowns, so you want
uptowns in downtowns. But this is a white Pandora. So
there's only twenty five of these maids.
Speaker 2: This is number ten of twenty five.
Speaker 4: It is. It's the only good thing the Raiders have
ever done.
Speaker 2: So we're sending these off. We with our ex huge
expertise and this stuff, we deemed these good looking enough
to grade. So we're gonna send this off. We'll keep
you all informed on the journey here. We we're gonna
pray for tens. No, like Billy Bob said, a ten,
what else you say?
Speaker 3: A real good ten, A real good ten, real good ten.
All right, have you found that video yet?
Speaker 4: Oh? That's okay?
Speaker 7: Yes, I told you late, No, I haven't. I just
Instagram's form.
Speaker 4: That's weird.
Speaker 7: I gotta like zoom man.
Speaker 2: Give me one second, okay, Yeah, give you all a
tour breakdown.
Speaker 4: Sure, Matt, I know you're dying to do it.
Speaker 2: I hadn't really been falling in a lot because I've
been focused on my push ups and these cards in
the break.
Speaker 4: So let me study up.
Speaker 2: I told you earlier Todday lost his yellow jersey yesterday.
But one second, one second, yeah, the guy was in
the breakaway.
Speaker 4: He was he can't make up one second, like you
can't push a little bit.
Speaker 2: Harder well, he's not like a guy that's the guy
that has the old jersey, not a threat to win
the overall tour. So it's like sometimes they'll let those
guys are on a threat off on a breakaway, and
it just seems how it finishes.
Speaker 4: There's there's there's too much here.
Speaker 3: There's too there's too much, like, hey, let's let him
go back because we got this. Hey, it's called strategy. Hey,
this guy's a little bit faster than me today. Let's
a little him win.
Speaker 2: Like it's a strategy win.
Speaker 4: There's winners, and there's Look, you.
Speaker 2: Can't just vot football team out on the field and
tell him to just go just go beat him up
and win. Gotta have a strategy, clock management, game plan.
Speaker 4: All right, that's enough of that.
Speaker 3: All right, Here is a video of a couple of
New Orleans Saints giving you their LS first Mount Rushmore.
It doesn't matter whatever however you're feeling.
Speaker 9: Okay, dude, Okay, we're waiting.
Speaker 12: Okay, let's start with Billy Cannon. I mean, he was
just legendary Heisman Trophy winner number two. For me, being
partly biased, I have to put Patrick Peterson in there.
I just thought he just brought so much great attention
to the program, and he was somebody that I could really,
you know, look up.
Speaker 4: To and follow.
Speaker 2: Number three is Joe Burrow.
Speaker 12: I thought, well he did an LSU was just you know,
like like, that's hard to do my fourth one my
surprise some people. But I would actually put Jayden Daniels
as my number four.
Speaker 4: It surprised me, surprise me at all. He's on my
Mount Rushmore as well.
Speaker 2: You got to put the three Heisman winners on there,
for sure.
Speaker 4: You have to do that. And then you put Glen
Dorsey and then you're done.
Speaker 3: All right, ta here is Falster Moros Mount Rushmore for
l s U Rushmore.
Speaker 10: Is there any other It's just guys. It's just people.
Is It doesn't have to be offensive guys. He did
two and two. Didn't do himself. God, he's such a
nice guy. Man Brandon Harris, Anthony Jennings, Malki Dupree, Darius Guice,
what a guy will clap? I like that answer a lot, actually,
Lloyd Cushion Berry. Okay, let me think I'll do Danny
Etling four times. My LSU Mount Rushmore is Danny Etling
four times. I just want four of the perfect chin
structure and physique, his facial his sheer cheekbones.
Speaker 2: What a guy.
Speaker 10: Okay, I'll give you a real one. I'd say my
LSU Mount Rushmore is probably Billy Cannon. Glenn Dorsey is
a big one. Richard Dixon at the tight end, Dixon Ago,
Joey b Joe Burrow.
Speaker 3: All right, all right, well done, well done, Fellas, nice
job there. I love the Richard Dixon. Shout out our
guy number eighteen. Let's go before before little In, before
Mason Taylor, our guy dig Dixon at every single record
that you possibly could have. And that's a time when
and you know, LSU didn't set a lot of passing records.
Speaker 2: We weren't setting a lot and it wasn't like the
tight end was usually supposed to be like the highlight
of of our offense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because we had we had Wambo Buster Davis, both
first round receivers. Early was a third rounder. Demitrius burd
would have been higher than a seventh rounder. Unfortunately he
got in an accident.
Speaker 7: So I mean La Phil was a study Jojo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And Richard always to this day makes fun of
me and gives me a hard time because he scored
two touchdowns in the National Championship, says he should have
had three if I didn't throw a ball behind him. Well,
like I always tell him, it was on purpose because
I wanted to win the offense MVP and not you
having three receiving touchdowns. Yeah.
Speaker 4: True, I only had won that game. But you know what,
Ohio stately had won that game.
Speaker 3: Ohio State didn't give up one hundred yard rusher all season.
And I think I finished like eighty somewhere between eighty
four and eighty six, some eighty six eighty six right here.
And there was one run that I definitely should have
like just gone outside a little bit more, but I
was like, let me go, try to let me go,
try to run over Laronitis. Yeah, and I could have
picked up at least twenty more yards, and I would
have had I would have been the only guy to
rush for over one hundred yards on the buck Eyes
that year.
Speaker 4: I don't think about it at all.
Speaker 2: They didn't have one hundred. No, obviously, He's.
Speaker 7: Like, I don't even remember. The play was second time to.
Speaker 4: The left side. It's me and Laronidas one on one.
Speaker 3: He's like bracing for impact because he knows what kind
of runner I am, because I'm a meathead. All I
had to do is like dip one inside, bounce outside.
I would have picked up fifteen twenty yards without one
hundred yards boom.
Speaker 4: Only got to do it on them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a that was certainly ah. A character
flaw of yours as a football player was that you
could have made a lot more yards if you just
weren't such a meathead and I wanted to hit people.
It's just like, bounce it, without question. Bounce it, Jake,
you could have made twenty said you went for four,
but you run him over.
Speaker 3: I remember, and I'm a freshman and Derry Dooley's are
running back coach, and he's sitting there and we're watching film,
and I break one out into the open, and like
the corner is like fifteen yards to my left, the
safety is about seven yards to my right, and there's
nobody in front of me.
Speaker 4: So it could have been like a fifty six yard
touchdown maybe.
Speaker 3: And Duley's like, all right, see, he said, hester the
game of football, it's funny.
Speaker 4: It's really complicated.
Speaker 3: You see all this green grass right here that you
avoided running towards and you see the enemy that you
ran right in his direction. We want to run more
towards the green and less towards the enemy, you know, like, yes, sir.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I will, but uh, you see, coach, when
I have the ball and I see the other team,
I just want to hit him. Yeah, so I'll try
it next time. No promises doing.
Speaker 3: I know, I know, I probably could have had like
seven hundred more yards in my career.
Speaker 4: But it's okay, though. We got memories.
Speaker 2: But the CTE let me tell you, let me tell you.
Danny Etling four times is object actively a funny answer.
Speaker 6: Great, awesome, Brandon Harris, right out the.
Speaker 3: Brandon Harris, Anthony Jennings, Ye, shout out to Lloyd Cushionberry
as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad he got all right.
Speaker 2: Look, we're gonna at some point we're getting Danny on
this show. We're gonnap it up about his career, his
post career. It's gonna be great.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll close out hour number two when we
come back here on TV.
Speaker 4: Off the bench, should we give like.
Speaker 3: Our own Saints Mount Rushmore. I'm ready to go with that.
I got the names. I'm ready to go. Maplin definitely
not on there. Sure no, definitely not on the Alright,

I don't know if it happened to y'all. I'm doing
off campus old radio show I do Boom.
Speaker 4: You heard it.
Speaker 3: Everything went dark? But you know what happened immediately after that?
Right back up? I missed like maybe a minute thirty
seconds of the show after the power went out because
generator immediately kicked on.
Speaker 4: All I had to do was logged right back in.
Speaker 3: I was back on air because when you have a
whole home generator, you had the ultimate peace of mind.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was actually walked into my kitchen yesterday and
I looked at my oven and the time was blinking,
and I was like, wait a minute, what happened? Did
the power go out? I had no clue because we
didn't even notice that it went out. It's because we
got a whole home generator. Boudrox Electrical dot Com.

Speaker 4: It happens. I mean that's anywhere else, but it happens.
Speaker 2: I mean Mount Everest is taller.
Speaker 4: It is higher peak.
Speaker 6: It's a good point.
Speaker 2: So I kind of like that better.
