I'm so fine JD five 56 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,919 versus Jordan Love. I'm going for the Commanders, right, I mean, 57 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,879 I got a cheer for my guys, JD five. The 58 00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:55,159 Packers don't have an LSU guy on their team, I 59 00:02:55,199 --> 00:02:56,159 can't cheer for them. 60 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 4: Okay, but I would expect, I would expect most people 61 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,639 around here absolutely to be cheering for the command That great. 62 00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 2: I'm cheering for definite for Jaden and definitely not Taylor, 63 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:06,919 definitely not Tall. 64 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,479 Speaker 4: I'm cheering for ja That's gonna be a good game. 65 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,159 Like when I watch NFL games, I usually cheer for storylines, 66 00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:14,520 I cheer for people I like, players I like, and 67 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,840 then I cheer for the Packers as well. So I'll 68 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,800 be cheering for JD. It's just not like I see 69 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,960 the Packers play the like the Lions last week. I'm definitely, 70 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,560 I'm one hundred percent all in. I don't want them 71 00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:29,479 to lose the Lions. But like you know, if JD 72 00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:31,879 goes off and beats the Packers, I don't see that happening. 73 00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:34,400 I think the Packers are way too good. There's gonna 74 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,199 be a lot of juice that defense. My god, it 75 00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:39,800 looks like when they when the when the other team 76 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,120 is running the ball, it looks like a zombie apocalypse 77 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,919 because you got eleven Packers flying to the ball and 78 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,960 you don't always get that in NFL regular season, right, 79 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,840 A lot of times it's NFL regular season, it's all professionals. 80 00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:56,039 People know that it's livelihoods at stake here, and they 81 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,560 know it's a long season. So a lot of times, 82 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,360 like if an offensive lineman has a good set and 83 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,479 lost the defensive linemen up, it's like, all right, cool, 84 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,560 play over, like you got me this time. Next play, 85 00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:06,479 I might get you. And if I if I I'll 86 00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:08,479 give effort, like if I if I think I can 87 00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:10,800 get it. But there's a lot of brother in law, 88 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:14,439 so just you know, was opening open and Opening weekend 89 00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:16,920 they were flying around like it was playoff football, and 90 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,600 I would expect kind of that same energy. I mean, 91 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,160 it's prime time, it's nighttime, it's uh Thursday night football. 92 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,560 So man, I'm fired up. But good god, if anybody 93 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,839 would ever thought that JD's season was a fluke last year, well, 94 00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:35,399 just turn on Week one. Yeah he looked great. Yeah, 95 00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:39,600 it look great. And that guy is just no sophomore 96 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,879 a sophomore slump. It's the guy was just a ball 97 00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:45,439 and nothing that he did last last year was an accident. 98 00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:48,879 Like everything that when he plays, he plays in control. 99 00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:52,439 He has a moxie about him, he's got poised, and 100 00:04:53,519 --> 00:04:57,160 he's just just a smart football player. And he has 101 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,160 built that football IQ. He has worked on it from 102 00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:04,079 his time at LSU, using the virtual reality. Being able 103 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,279 to take coaching and do something when he did something bad, 104 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,920 able to turn that around and not do that again. Yeah, 105 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,120 which people a lot of people can't do. It's the difference. 106 00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:16,600 Like that's what the term coachable means, right, It's like 107 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,480 when you're coachable, like a coach only has to correct 108 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,040 you on something once, right, and if it's twice, you know, 109 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,959 then he gets the three, four or five like that's 110 00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:27,000 in the NFL, you see a lot of good athletes 111 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,879 not make teams because they don't have time to continue 112 00:05:31,879 --> 00:05:34,160 to coach. You coach the same thing over and over. 113 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,560 But JD one of the greatest turnarounds I've ever seen 114 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,079 from a week to week standpoint, was at LSU when 115 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,279 he turned like it was like one quarterback was playing 116 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,920 one week and then I saw this other quarterback play 117 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,600 the next week and they weren't the same right after 118 00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:54,920 the Tennessee game and it wasn't the same person, and 119 00:05:54,959 --> 00:05:56,879 it was never the same person again. And it was 120 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,800 the most impressive thing I've ever seen because we saw 121 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,680 the physically physical talent. He doesn't have like the most 122 00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:04,360 when he got LSU didn't have the most like traditional mechanics, 123 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,639 and I was kind of a hater on that from 124 00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:09,360 a mechanical standpoint, But if you get to the it 125 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,160 doesn't matter what your takeaway when you're a quarterback with 126 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,639 your takeaway. When I say takeaway, your your left hands 127 00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:17,680 touching the ball. You're in your drop back, and when 128 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,720 you take the ball away from your left hand, that's 129 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,560 I know the takeaway. It doesn't matter what that looks like. 130 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,600 When you get to the end. There's your elbow in front, 131 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,000 is it up? Are you extending out? Like there's different? 132 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,519 Like you looked at Philip Rivers, you get Cam Newton, 133 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,480 you looked at Tom Brady, Drew Brees, like you looked 134 00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:33,879 at all these guys. So I take the best quarterbacks, 135 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,839 and then I take the guys that had like funky 136 00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:39,319 mechanics like Philip Rivers, like Cam Newton. They all look 137 00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:42,519 different throwing the ball from the takeaway and how they 138 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,759 got to the to the front of their throwing motion, 139 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,639 to the back end of the throw motion. So but 140 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,600 they all look the exact same. When you get stills 141 00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:51,680 towards the end of the throw motion, it doesn't matter 142 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,079 how they got there. They got there. Now, when you 143 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,920 look at bad mechanics, the takeaways bad, and they don't 144 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,680 get there, they don't get that elbow in the arm slot. 145 00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:05,319 And JD does that. Yeah, sometimes it didn't look conventional, 146 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,480 but he does it. And man, he's accurate. He's an 147 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,639 accurate passer. But mentally, man, what he built that football. 148 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,839 IQ so excited to see him progress. I can only 149 00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:20,319 imagine that his career production is just going to keep 150 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,160 improving and improving and improving because we saw a mistake 151 00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:25,319 that he made this past weekend with a little clock 152 00:07:25,399 --> 00:07:27,800 management thrown away, get an intentional ground and call into 153 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,839 the first half ten second runoffs. That will never happen again, 154 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,279 right to j Na. Yeah, it might happen again to 155 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,120 some other guy in another young quarterback, but I can 156 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,680 guarantee you that will never happen to him again because 157 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,079 he's a guy that processes information, he learns from his mistakes, 158 00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:44,839 and he's coachable. 159 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I credit him a lot because he was like, 160 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,120 look his freshman year at Arizona State, like he had 161 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,079 some big moments, and he had Brandy Ayuk and he 162 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,600 had Ricky Piersol and Rashe White like they were talented, 163 00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:57,680 and he went out there and he did like against Oregon, 164 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,800 he made so many plays right, and it was just 165 00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:03,399 like off his raw athletic ability. But for him to understand, Okay, 166 00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:06,959 I've got this gift, right, I'm a hard worker. Let 167 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,120 me pair that with all the things that I have 168 00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:11,959 access to to be able to build this football like 169 00:08:12,079 --> 00:08:15,759 you and now like you watch it, and I think 170 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,519 his football, like Q is one of the best in 171 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,000 the NFL. YEP, it is high, high level and the 172 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000 things that he gets done, and you pair that with 173 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,279 his athletic ability, with his ability to throw the football, like, 174 00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:28,639 that's what makes it so impressive, is and he continues 175 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,160 to work, continues to try to strive to be the 176 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,480 best possible version of himself there, which is extremely high. 177 00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:39,080 And now, like Jeff Hafley and that Packers defense, they 178 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,720 got to try to deal with it, and they were 179 00:08:40,759 --> 00:08:43,720 super aggressive in that first game. But as good as 180 00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,440 Jared Golf is, he's not Jayden Daniels. They're a completely 181 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,080 different quarterbacks. So the game plan has got to be different. 182 00:08:49,159 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, let me tell you this. Let's not undervalue the 183 00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:55,840 addition of Michael Parsons that Green Bay defense in this game. 184 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,919 Because if there is somebody that knows how to play 185 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,679 Jayden Daniels, it's the guy that played him twice last year. Yeah, 186 00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:06,559 it's the guy that figured out a game plan last 187 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,120 season alone. In two games the Cowboys versus the Commanders, 188 00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:12,759 Micah Parsons had four and a half sacks. That's pretty 189 00:09:12,759 --> 00:09:16,159 good versus Jayden Daniels. Hard to sack that guy. Yeah, right, sure, 190 00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:21,360 So he understands, and so don't undervalue what he brings 191 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,559 to the table of just a Hey Micah, what'd y'all 192 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,200 do last year? How did y'all affect him in the 193 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,080 pass rush? And his coach being able to coach that 194 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,799 defensive line in Green Bay is hungry, hungry young guys 195 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,879 that want to learn, and you don't think they're picking 196 00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:39,240 Michael Parson's brain. Hey Michael, how did you get that? 197 00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:42,399 You get home? How did you get home? Where on 198 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,919 your pass rush from the defensive end? What was your 199 00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:47,720 aiming point on Jade and Daniels? Where are you aiming 200 00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:49,639 for his back hip? Where you aiming for his front hip? 201 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,600 When you got to his level on the field. If 202 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,480 he's standing on the thirty five and you're rushing, did 203 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,759 you stop on the thirty five? Did you stop your 204 00:09:57,799 --> 00:09:59,600 rush on the thirty four and peel back? Did you 205 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,320 stop it on the thirty six? Did you go behind 206 00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:02,240 him and then peel back? 207 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:02,639 Speaker 5: Like? 208 00:10:02,759 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 4: What was the coaching point? Because four and a half 209 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,759 sacks in two games versus Jaydon Daniels is a shocking 210 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,000 number to me. Yeah for one person. Yeah, I'm four 211 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,919 and f sacks in two games against them in a game, 212 00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:17,799 is right? Okay, that's that sounds right. But four and 213 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,480 a half sacks from one player. That is a type 214 00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:24,039 of impact. And that's why he commanded forty whatever billion 215 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,600 dollars a year or whatever he got. 216 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: So don't just punch in the air right now, punch 217 00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:30,759 in the air. 218 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 4: I'ld be accidentally hits the wall even though his birthday, 219 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,480 even though his birthday.

The the the 368 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,519 guy that we went out with had did the did 369 00:18:24,519 --> 00:18:27,079 the two smaller ones for us pretty quickly. Man, it 370 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:31,319 was impressive like a guy, it was uh impressive with 371 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,319 the knife. And that's coming from a chef, you know 372 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,680 what I mean, very comfortable and confident with his knife. 373 00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:38,400 And but to your point about the question of the meat, 374 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,880 there's actually different textures of meat, and there's different types 375 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,559 of muscle tissues the gaters have. Gaters have a third 376 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,400 kind of muscle tissue around their jaw that is meant 377 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,839 to clinch that thing tight down, you know, in a 378 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,119 in a millisecond, right, and that that muscle tissue super 379 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,599 tender e thrial tender. It's kind of like pork wine 380 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,359 or pork pork tenderline, you know. And the flavor of 381 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:04,519 it mimics somewhere between pork and turkey, as do the legs, right, 382 00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:06,440 So they use those legs for swimming a lot. And 383 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,759 they have it's a dark meat, right, so they there's 384 00:19:09,799 --> 00:19:12,000 there's a lot of myoglobe in there. It makes the 385 00:19:12,039 --> 00:19:15,000 meat dark and and it makes it, uh you know, 386 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,599 more flavorful. And again it tastes a lot like pork, 387 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,920 somewhere between pork and turkey. The tail actually, you know, 388 00:19:22,039 --> 00:19:25,079 has tons of meat on it obviously, and but it's 389 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,039 a it's a lighter, wider meat that that. You know 390 00:19:28,319 --> 00:19:31,960 it excuse the expression, but it tastes like chicken, you 391 00:19:32,039 --> 00:19:34,319 know what I mean, Like it really does. It really 392 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,799 is mimic of chicken. Now, there is a difference between 393 00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:42,640 eating wild gater, arm gater, farm gator. The fat content 394 00:19:42,759 --> 00:19:46,079 it tends to be a little stronger because the diet varies. 395 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,039 A farm gator has a controlled diet that is the 396 00:19:49,079 --> 00:19:52,319 same every day, and a wild gater eats what it finds, right, 397 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,480 sometimes that's live fish, sometimes it's not, you know, so 398 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,000 you have to prepare a lot gator, trim some of 399 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,799 the fat off in a little bit more. You know. 400 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,200 The age of the gator impacts the flavor of it 401 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,920 as well. The size of the gator impacts the flavor 402 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,039 of it as well, So you know, you have a 403 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,519 you have a kind of an optimum size there. And 404 00:20:15,559 --> 00:20:17,599 the younger the gators, the speeder, it is, like, the 405 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,480 less likely it is to have a real profound, uh flavor. 406 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,880 So not only that it's easier to put in the 407 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,400 out Yeah. 408 00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 4: Not to like change the conversation away from a dead gator, 409 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,559 because nobody likes a dead gator on Florida Week more 410 00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:33,279 than me. But what you're what you're explaining to me 411 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,799 sounds so. I judged a gumbo cook off one time, 412 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,480 and the chef that made this gumbo, it was all 413 00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:44,759 the protein was from a snapping river turtle, like a 414 00:20:44,759 --> 00:20:47,599 big one of the big old and he was explaining 415 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,559 to me, and it blew my mind. He was like, 416 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,000 there's I think he said, either five or six types 417 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,599 of meat in this one animal. There's white meat, there's 418 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,039 dark meat, there's pork, there's like some sort of fish 419 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,759 like that. All the different types, and what you're explaining 420 00:21:01,799 --> 00:21:04,119 about the alligator, it sounds really similar. 421 00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:06,839 Speaker 5: It really is. It is kind of similar. And turtles 422 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,119 are equally as interesting to me. You know, like I 423 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,960 eat about anything as a chef, I feel like I 424 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,720 have to, you know, if I'm going to ask somebody 425 00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:18,079 to eat something new and interesting, you know, what what 426 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:18,880 does that mean of me? 427 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 4: If I want to? 428 00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:23,559 Speaker 5: You know what I mean? So turtles, absolutely, there's different textures. 429 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,599 You know. I think that there's some beat on a 430 00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:28,160 turtle almost that would remind you of clam that that 431 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:33,240 gets really tense and tough, and there's you know, like, uh, 432 00:21:33,319 --> 00:21:35,720 there's other pieces, like you said, that's kind of turkey 433 00:21:35,759 --> 00:21:36,480 and porks. 434 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 2: Yep, chef how like. And we've got a lot of 435 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,079 these questions inside the chat about just like maybe all 436 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,000 the different ways to cook a gator and do you 437 00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:49,000 ever switch it up or do you say, you know 438 00:21:49,079 --> 00:21:51,279 what this way works for me, Let's keep it like 439 00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:51,759 it is. 440 00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:55,839 Speaker 5: Well cooking hole, I usually smoke. It's a It's a 441 00:21:55,839 --> 00:21:58,759 slow and low process that allows it to you know, 442 00:21:58,839 --> 00:22:01,640 not get too dry out. And I like to brin 443 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,319 the gator, to put it down on an ice chet 444 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,119 and soak it in a Brian over twenty four hours. 445 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:11,079 That helps prevent it from drying out because gators by 446 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,559 and large are pretty active creatures. And the fact that 447 00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:15,799 they're they're lean, you know, like that it has a 448 00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:20,480 pretty lean muscle tissue. And so if you when I 449 00:22:20,519 --> 00:22:24,279 smoke it, I'll take and basee what I what I 450 00:22:24,319 --> 00:22:27,000 love to use is like a mixture of chopped garlic 451 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,599 olive oil and these calabria and chilies that are soaked 452 00:22:31,599 --> 00:22:33,480 in the oil. So the oil takes on the flavor 453 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,680 of the garlic and the chilies, and I'll take that 454 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,240 split it over the gator, and it'll take on kind 455 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,759 of a gold red color while you're smoking it, and 456 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,000 actually turns a little bit brown too, so it almost 457 00:22:44,079 --> 00:22:46,160 takes on like a natural color of the gator. But 458 00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:51,759 it also the oil prevents moisture from from escaping it, 459 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,119 and it kind of locks in the moisture inside of 460 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,599 it so that it doesn't dry out. It's kind of 461 00:22:58,599 --> 00:23:00,559 like cooking a turkey. You know, you base the turkey 462 00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:02,240 and you don't want you don't want it to dry out, 463 00:23:02,279 --> 00:23:04,000 so you can say you're basing it with oil so 464 00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:07,920 that the moisture doesn't steam and escape. It's the same principal, 465 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,119 same process. And then you know, like I said, if 466 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,119 we don't win and we don't feel like having the 467 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,279 whole gator is the appropriate delivery, then we'll put you know, 468 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,960 probably cook it and picks and eat and put it 469 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,200 into like a sausty com or uh, you know, like 470 00:23:22,839 --> 00:23:24,839 saute it down and brown it and then and then 471 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:30,240 braise it. I love fried gator, you know, like I 472 00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:33,559 am an absolute idiot for fried cater you know what 473 00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:36,279 I mean. But I think that's I think that's primarily 474 00:23:36,279 --> 00:23:40,400 tailed me. You know, the the leg muscle tissues are 475 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,160 really good for braising, so you know, just like any 476 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,319 other creature, there's gonna be tougher parts, so it's gonna 477 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,119 make more tender parts. I've never actually, you know, put 478 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,480 a like a steak off of the gator's leg onto 479 00:23:51,519 --> 00:23:53,799 the grill and eat it that way, but because it's 480 00:23:53,839 --> 00:23:56,359 so tender, I would definitely would try it. Now that 481 00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:01,200 I'm talking about it, I'm kind of curious about it. Uh. 482 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,480 In philosophy, you know, you can take the different cuts 483 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,640 with different textures, and and the more tender it is, 484 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,359 the more high heat it will tolerate, and the tough 485 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,599 is the longer lower the temperature needs to be. 486 00:24:14,759 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 4: We're geting a lot of questions here in our chat, 487 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,599 and I can tell there's some eager tailgaters that might 488 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,720 be cooking some gator this week and so here so 489 00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:25,759 hashtag munchies. Is there a specific brine you would recommend 490 00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:28,039 for a gator or is it just kind of like 491 00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:29,400 a don't overthinking situation. 492 00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:32,559 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it could be either one of those things, 493 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,720 you know, like I with gators because it tastes like chicken. Primarily, 494 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,240 I think a citrus for Brian throwing a little bit 495 00:24:39,319 --> 00:24:41,880 of lemon's ass or lemon rind in there. Not the 496 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,880 juice necessarily, because the juice is a cilic and it will. 497 00:24:44,759 --> 00:24:45,599 Speaker 4: Actually cook the meat. 498 00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 5: But putting a lemon and lemony flavor, or even a 499 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:53,119 citrus with like lemon lime, orange tatsuma that you know, 500 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,160 putting those peels in with your brine. But realistically it, 501 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,400 you know, is as salt sugar water mixture that is 502 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,759 meant to absorb into the muscle tissue to prevent it 503 00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:07,559 from trying out and when it does, so you know, 504 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,240 the flavors that you put into it are going to 505 00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:13,400 be imparted into it. So you know, you could probably 506 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,119 put some sage in there with with the lemon and 507 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,200 oranges and stuff, and it it tastes quite well. You know, 508 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,519 everybody kind of has their own opinion about what flavors 509 00:25:23,599 --> 00:25:27,000 go well together. But I think you know, a citrus 510 00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:30,640 of sage or or even marjoram, a little marjoram in there. 511 00:25:31,319 --> 00:25:33,799 I mean, you could probably make you know, like go 512 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,480 an Italian stalcator. I don't know why you would, but 513 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,200 you know, if you're kids, you're constructing it like a 514 00:25:39,319 --> 00:25:43,519 chicken dish, you know, Italian Italian chicken dishes are wonderful, 515 00:25:43,519 --> 00:25:49,640 So I think the flavor profile is personal preference. But 516 00:25:49,759 --> 00:25:54,799 the but the the brine itself is going to be salt, 517 00:25:54,799 --> 00:25:59,279 water and sugar, you know, like it's like a quart, 518 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,240 a quarter of water or a gallon. I'd rather a 519 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,519 gallon of water to two cups of sugar, two cups 520 00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:06,480 of salt, one cup of sugar. So it's I don't 521 00:26:06,519 --> 00:26:08,799 know if I got that clear enough. A gallon of water, 522 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,240 two cups of salt, one cup of sugar. And then 523 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,839 you're and then for every calen, you know, you put 524 00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:16,920 your seizing in, you know, like you're flavoring in as well. 525 00:26:17,839 --> 00:26:21,839 Speaker 2: Chef last one before we let you go. After LSU 526 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:27,160 is victorious on Saturday and you serve Gator on Monday, 527 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,279 can two washed up former athletes who had a lot 528 00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:33,200 of success against the Florida Gators come and enjoy some Gator? 529 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,279 Speaker 5: You guys absolutely should. 530 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 2: Okay, asking for a friend, asking for a friend and 531 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,119 not saying it's us, but just asking for friends. 532 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 5: Well, I probably have a private invite for you. You know, 533 00:26:45,079 --> 00:26:47,599 I think we're serving I think we're serving it for dinner. 534 00:26:47,599 --> 00:26:50,519 But I think exactly athletes are are capable of coming 535 00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:52,079 over and saying hello, all. 536 00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 2: Right, all right, fair enough, fair enough, Chef, you're the man. 537 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,200 We appreciate it every single week. Look forward to seeing you. 538 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,160 I'm assuming you're going to the game this week. 539 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 5: You know I'm not.

We are 601 00:30:29,759 --> 00:30:32,599 here live on location at Pro Dreams thirty nine thirty 602 00:30:32,599 --> 00:30:37,240 Burbank Drive in Benteriespro Dash Dreams dot Com is the website. 603 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,599 I'm gonna throw it back to studio because it is 604 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,839 now time to play a little INFL Bachelor as Taylor 605 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,480 Sharp is trying to pick his new team because he 606 00:30:45,559 --> 00:30:48,119 finally got tired of Jerry Jones and his antics and 607 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,559 the Cowboys sucking. So here is Taylor Sharp on his birthday, 608 00:30:51,599 --> 00:30:55,000 Happy birthday, Tata picking his new NFL team, or at 609 00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:56,440 least getting down to the final two. 610 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 3: Yes, we have four teams right now. 611 00:30:59,319 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 7: Lot When I started this process, it was it wasn't 612 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,200 an easy decision. I had been with the Dallas Cowboys 613 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,039 my entire life, but finally decided enough was enough, went 614 00:31:09,079 --> 00:31:11,680 on a few dates and with some other teams, kind 615 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,160 of got some feelers out at the opening weekend, and 616 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,559 I'm down to four now. It's the New Orleans Saints, 617 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:21,160 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans, and Buffalo Bills. Unfortunately, I 618 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,319 do have to eliminate two of these teams today. 619 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 3: I love this guy. 620 00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:29,599 Speaker 7: I think he's probably the best football player in the NFL. 621 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,759 But I am going to have to eliminate the Buffalo Bills. 622 00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 3: I'm not a North guy. 623 00:31:34,519 --> 00:31:37,279 Speaker 7: I mean, I don't really like Snow, and the Buffalo 624 00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:39,400 Bills seemed to play in the snow pretty much more 625 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,720 than any other team in the NFL, so for. 626 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 3: That reason they're out. 627 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 7: It also felt a little bit too bandwagon for me, 628 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,960 almost almost a little recency bias. Love Josh Allen, always 629 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,519 be a fan of him. Love Bill's mafia. I think 630 00:31:50,519 --> 00:31:53,119 it's the best fan base in the NFL. Don't know 631 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,000 if I'm ready for that, because I want to go 632 00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:58,079 to a place where I can realistically go see a game. 633 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,559 Buffalo kind of just not in the cards. So the 634 00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:04,640 Buffalo Bills are eliminated. Okay, So now we're down to 635 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,680 three Saints, Titans, Bucks. 636 00:32:08,039 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 3: Look, this is this next team. I always had a. 637 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,599 Speaker 7: Little fleeing with them. We flirted back and forth for 638 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:18,119 a number of years. There is nothing I love more 639 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,599 or nothing that I'm more proud of than being from 640 00:32:21,599 --> 00:32:23,920 the state of Louisiana. I love Louisiana. I think, if 641 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,440 you ask me, pat Ruge is the greatest place to live. 642 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:27,839 I know a lot of people craft on it. I've 643 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,039 lived here my entire life. 644 00:32:29,079 --> 00:32:29,599 Speaker 3: I love it. 645 00:32:30,079 --> 00:32:33,519 Speaker 7: However, if I was to pick the New Orleans Saints, 646 00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:36,079 I would just be picking the Dallas Cowboys. They are 647 00:32:36,079 --> 00:32:38,799 the same team, their front offices ran the exact same 648 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,440 They're both in bad shape and there's no clear path 649 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:42,519 to winning in the future. 650 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,319 Speaker 3: I just don't see it happening. 651 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 7: This was the hardest pick because it is our home team, 652 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,839 but the New Orleans Saints have also been eliminated. So 653 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,079 the final two we will be deciding with tomorrow the 654 00:32:54,119 --> 00:32:57,480 Tennessee Titans, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 655 00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:03,799 Speaker 2: The Tennesseeans, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Just like I 656 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:09,200 knew it would be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield. 657 00:33:09,359 --> 00:33:14,279 Tayte can't help himself, and then Tennessee Nashville, the home 658 00:33:14,359 --> 00:33:15,559 of country music. 659 00:33:16,279 --> 00:33:17,079 Speaker 4: That's my prediction. 660 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 2: You don't understand how much this man loves Baker Mayfield, but. 661 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,519 Speaker 4: If he's basing it just alf of that it's a 662 00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:27,440 short term. 663 00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 2: Well, I mean to be fair to Tayte and Tampa Bay. 664 00:33:32,079 --> 00:33:34,640 Mike Alstott played his entire career there, sure, so you 665 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,720 can always fall back on that. 666 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,079 Speaker 4: Yeah, but he did. He waxed poetically about how much 667 00:33:39,119 --> 00:33:42,519 he loves Louisiana, which is very heartfelt, and I get that, 668 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,880 but he does love it so I don't know if 669 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,960 he's going to want to consciously choose a team out 670 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,480 of thin air just because of quarterback and actively root 671 00:33:54,559 --> 00:33:59,519 against other Louisiana's in the same division. I don't know 672 00:33:59,559 --> 00:34:02,279 if he can do that, could choose somebody that twice 673 00:34:02,279 --> 00:34:06,440 a year, he's got to actively cheer against his neighbors. 674 00:34:07,759 --> 00:34:09,559 So I don't know, but I think Tennessee is the 675 00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:09,920 one here. 676 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,599 Speaker 2: You're going, Yeah, he cheered for the Cowboys. Saints fans 677 00:34:13,599 --> 00:34:15,760 hate the Cowboys. 678 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 4: That's true, but they didn't always play them every year. 679 00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:20,280 The Bucks are playing him twice a year, maybe one, 680 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,840 I mean, maybe once. Maybe he wants to smoke, but 681 00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:24,960 it look, well we already know he's not the smartest 682 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:25,599 guy in the world. 683 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,639 Speaker 2: Look, it could be worse. I mean I can remember, 684 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,480 you know, playing against them and being a little starstruck. 685 00:34:34,599 --> 00:34:36,239 Is like Dan deren Brooks is out there, like that's 686 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,039 kind of cool. Like Rande Barber's out there. That guy's 687 00:34:39,039 --> 00:34:41,239 a Hall of Famer. Both those guys are Hall of famers, 688 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,079 you know. Because so it could be worse. Could be 689 00:34:43,119 --> 00:34:44,960 the Falcons could be the Cowboys again. 690 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 4: So he wants to be able to realistically go to 691 00:34:47,559 --> 00:34:50,159 games so I guess like New Orleans Airport, one of 692 00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:52,920 those who can southwest to It's been an hour and 693 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,960 fifteen hour and a half flights southwest to Nashville. Yeah, Tampa, 694 00:34:57,039 --> 00:34:59,639 same thing, that's not bad, The same thing, not bad. Okay, realistic, 695 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,760 you can get to either one. Buffalo, you right, be 696 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,039 a little tougher. I thought Buffalo had a shot out 697 00:35:05,039 --> 00:35:05,440 of them. 698 00:35:05,519 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 2: Honestly, Moonfish, you're onto something, he says. Tay Tampa Bay Tay. 699 00:35:09,599 --> 00:35:12,679 I say Tampa Bay Tay would just be easier, or 700 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,320 just Tampa Tay, Tampa Bay Tay, Tampa Tay. Tampa Tay 701 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,480 is good too, like Tampa Bay Tay. But Tampa Tay. 702 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:27,440 That either one. It's acceptable here. The nickname possibilities. It 703 00:35:28,119 --> 00:35:28,679 was always going to. 704 00:35:28,679 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 4: Be the books. It's always calling me out for messing 705 00:35:33,039 --> 00:35:35,679 with the cables down here. I can I can't hear that. 706 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:36,719 Can you just see it? 707 00:35:37,559 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 2: Y'all know this about him. He can't help himself. 708 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 4: It's fidgety, like I made a little little as. 709 00:35:44,079 --> 00:35:49,199 Speaker 2: He doesn't have a desk to slap. 710 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 4: I do enjoy sitting on the couches, though I'll say 711 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,079 that I do too. It's kind of relaxing. 712 00:35:57,159 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're nice. 713 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,039 Speaker 4: I could see the appeal on you know, podcasters getting 714 00:36:01,039 --> 00:36:04,000 big comfy couches, comfy chairs. 715 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 2: Well, if you're dealing with some problems, you can see 716 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,920 the appeal of going to Goodwood.

If one of y'all sons got 809 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,480 an offer from the Gators, would you let him go 810 00:40:44,559 --> 00:40:45,239 on a visit? No? 811 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 4: Hell no? 812 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 2: I mean seriously, like no. I've told like no, and 813 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:56,360 I've told him no. There's places in the and we 814 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,000 raise our children, right, No, I wouldn't want to go. 815 00:40:59,119 --> 00:41:01,039 This isn't like a joke either. There's places in the 816 00:41:01,079 --> 00:41:03,679 SEC they can go to. Like if my son want 817 00:41:03,679 --> 00:41:06,360 to play for Shane at South Carolina, if you want 818 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,039 to play for Eli at Missou Hell, if he even 819 00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:13,559 want to play for sarcut Texas and LS you didn't 820 00:41:13,599 --> 00:41:16,519 offer him, right, that's a caveat here. Like else you 821 00:41:16,559 --> 00:41:18,480 didn't offer and probably get those offers. You probably get 822 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,880 the shoes. But if they didn't, he ain't go play 823 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,719 for those guys. He ain't going to play for the 824 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:28,239 Gators in Gainesville, Florida, and ain't gonna happen because if 825 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,239 you get an offer from Florida, you got one that's 826 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,280 adjacent to it, and you're picking that one. 827 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:32,559 Speaker 4: Yep. 828 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 2: I'm not singing Tom Petty unless I want to sing 829 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,519 Tom Petty. I ain't wearing orange and blue, all right. 830 00:41:39,599 --> 00:41:43,159 I'm not wearing macromade jean shorts. I ain't doing that. 831 00:41:43,519 --> 00:41:44,639 Ain't having I want to give. 832 00:41:44,559 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 4: A real thought out answer here, and I want to 833 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:53,119 just follow up question to you. What if LSU didn't 834 00:41:53,119 --> 00:41:56,239 offer him and he was signing to make life changing 835 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,679 money and Florida's the only one two offer that. 836 00:42:00,559 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 2: Nope? 837 00:42:01,079 --> 00:42:05,039 Speaker 4: Okay, no, I heard it here first people. No, we 838 00:42:05,079 --> 00:42:07,960 don't care what our children want. No, it ain't happening. 839 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,519 We raise them, right, we raise them to hate Florida. 840 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,199 Speaker 2: Hashtag asked the bench, why does Taylor suck so much? Flynn? 841 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,679 Speaker 4: You got that one, so I need to explain it, 842 00:42:19,679 --> 00:42:22,960 just because because he's just he can't read a rim. 843 00:42:23,199 --> 00:42:25,920 You know, he makes bad decisions, poor decisions, and you 844 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:30,239 had multiple opportunities to at least, you know, do the 845 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,840 right thing and make it interesting and keep it competitive. 846 00:42:34,679 --> 00:42:36,639 We didn't say you need to pick our teams because 847 00:42:36,639 --> 00:42:39,159 of our teams, you know, but we can't support someone 848 00:42:39,159 --> 00:42:42,440 who makes bad decisions over and over and over. At 849 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,519 some point, you just got to set them free. And 850 00:42:44,559 --> 00:42:49,159 I don't know what set them free means, just ridicule them. 851 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,639 So we're there. It's happy birthday, though I hope it's 852 00:42:52,639 --> 00:42:56,840 a great one. We are you? 853 00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 2: Silent hashtag asked the bench, Well, I do it to you? 854 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,800 Which game outside of LSU Florida are you going to 855 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,559 be talking about the most on Monday show. I'm assuming 856 00:43:09,599 --> 00:43:12,800 college and say I think it is going to be. 857 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:17,679 I think Clemson and Georgia Tech. 858 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, because we do like Haynes King a lot. 859 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,840 Speaker 2: Clemson and Georgia Tech. I think that one's going to 860 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,360 be the first one. And I think Tennessee and Georgia 861 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:31,079 because if Tennessee upsets Georgia, that's certainly newsworthy. And if 862 00:43:31,119 --> 00:43:35,039 Georgia houses Tennessee, right, I think that's newsworthy as well, 863 00:43:35,079 --> 00:43:37,000 because Georgia's kind of have been slow out of the 864 00:43:37,039 --> 00:43:40,199 gate and they haven't you know, really dominated other They've 865 00:43:40,199 --> 00:43:43,280 won against Marshall and Austin p but they hadn't really dominated. 866 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,440 And so if they go there and they dominate Tennessee, 867 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,320 I think that's storyline. Those are two you mentioned A 868 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,159 and m notre Dame match. 869 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:55,800 Speaker 4: That might actually be Vanderbilt, that actually might be South Carolina. 870 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,599 That's going to be a great game South Carolina. We 871 00:43:58,639 --> 00:44:02,519 are obviously a very high on here at off the bench, 872 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,719 so we'll see how that goes. Vanderbilt coming off a 873 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:11,559 great win, so to dynamic quarterbacks, both guys that can 874 00:44:11,599 --> 00:44:14,000 take over a game. So I'm excited to see the 875 00:44:14,039 --> 00:44:16,280 replays of that one because I'll be in Death Valley 876 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,559 cheering on the Tigers. Not worried about that game, but 877 00:44:18,599 --> 00:44:20,559 I'll watch it the next day. Maybe maybe not. 878 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,880 Speaker 2: Hashtag asked the bench, is there anyone on Florida staff 879 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:29,159 who played in seven that's still sour about y'all cooking them? 880 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,239 I don't know the staff that well, probably not, maybe 881 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,840 like somebody like deep within equipment or trainer or something. 882 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,079 Take case, he's a sideline reporter. He played tight end 883 00:44:39,159 --> 00:44:42,000 for the Cators. They good guy, though, from Longview, Texas. 884 00:44:42,199 --> 00:44:44,960 Shout out to the Lobos. But I don't. I don't 885 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,800 know that there's anybody on the staff. I'd have to 886 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,679 look it up and see. Now, they got a lot 887 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,760 of blue polos in their coaching picture. They got it. 888 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,599 They had a gosh a Coordinator of game Changing Moments. 889 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,599 That's an official title that was on their staff. So 890 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,760 maybe saw Maybe just because they got so many coaches. 891 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,800 Speaker 4: He's the assistant coordinator of game changing Moments. 892 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 2: I don't know, but I think the coordinator of game 893 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:08,480 changing moments got let go. 894 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,159 Speaker 4: Seriously, I don't dance. I think you got let go. 895 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:17,440 It's his fault if you want to Flynn feeling. 896 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 2: Flynn is filling tea Bob's little shoes with the Taylor 897 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,679 hate them cankles are going to muffin top and tease 898 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:24,679 little shoes. 899 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 4: A muffin top. 900 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,199 Speaker 2: We can't beat that.
