Speaker 1: I'll start to it. You want to present some off
the Bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert. Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and T
Bob Abart the pitch. Now here's Jacob Hester and t
Bob aber.
Speaker 2: All right. I found the video I wanted to play here.
Hey day, I'm gonna put it at eight am. So, uh,
get it, get it, get it ready, because we haven't
done any Masters talk yet here on the show.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: It's a top Twitter link in there. Did any of y'all?
Did any of y'all watch any Masters yesterday? Yeah? I did.
Speaker 4: I watch a little bit of it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I watched some highlights online. I feel like
I didn't watch anything so.
Speaker 5: Much at the very end, like last three or four holes.
Speaker 4: Okay, I just watched a little bit of it because
EJ is a massive golfer, and I watched a little
bit just so I could like act like I was
watching it and you know, doing the whole day. I
was like, man, you're like you know, I was like, yeah,
I only watch it because I wanted to do what
I just did.
Speaker 2: That's that's very funny though, So you uh, you you
watched are you. You had to, so you do it.
You do a sports show and you had to break
down the Frozen four all day on Master's Day. Yeah, well,
fake talking about the Masters, but you actually don't care
about the Masters. It's very interesting, right, exactly exactly. I get.
Speaker 4: I get the intrigue with the Masters, because it's like
the only time I really like I'd stop and watch
a little bit of the coverage with the Masters, just
because it is so different. But no, I'd be lying
to our audience if I said that I'm sitting here
deep diving and caring about it. And you're right, I
had to talk a lot of Frozen four yesterday, so
that's not something that I just find myself watching.
Speaker 2: So it was like Frozen four, couple of newcomers against
a couple of old dogs, right, Penn State, Western Michigan
and the Frozen four for the first time. Whereas on
the other side, I mean, what Boston University there for
the third year in a row. And then there's Denver
maybe the best hockey program in history. What is it there?
Like twentieth Frozen four sitting along those lines.
Speaker 4: Did you see how it played out yesterday?
Speaker 2: Of course, it's a great game, a lot of a
lot of big hits, a lot of a lot of
great goals. Couldn't believe it.
Speaker 4: Western Michigan won in double overtime, and they're gonna play
Boston University for the Frozen four title.
Speaker 2: Damn Western Michigan, the new kid on the block. Did
they beat Denver or did they beat Penn State? No?
They beat Denver.
Speaker 4: Damn overtime and Denver.
Speaker 2: I want to say John Lway walking through that door. No,
he ain't Bubby Brister is I'm sorry today? Wow? I
just always felt bad for Bubby Brister because he had
to follow up back to back Super Bowl winning John
Elway that fourteen and two Broncos. Team LA retires and
they run Bubby out there like, okay, man, you got
it in. Bubby from Louisiana, cool man, all time name
team Bubby Brister is one of the all time great
sports names that's ever existed. I'm not hating from Elick.
I'm not a three writ that. I'm not hating on
Bubby Brister. He got dealt an impossible hand.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's like literally as Louisiana as you can be.
He was born in Elick. He went to high school
in Monroe at Neville. Oh, no way, and then he
went to college for the first two years at Tulane,
and then he finished up at what was Northeast Louisiana
which is now ULM damn. Hey, look look and he
played in the league forever from nineteen eighty six until
two thousand and one. Okay, fifteen years, Bubby Bree fifteen, Well,
that's technically sixteen NFL seasons.
Speaker 2: Sixteen NFL seasons. Yeah, at a North at a Uill,
let's go.
Speaker 5: He had to start four games for Denver. Okay, is
that all he got?
Speaker 2: That's all the way? Yeah? Wait what four the starts?
As a kid, I was obsessed with those Broncos team,
and I was like just so upset to lose lway. Uh, well,
wait what happened?
Speaker 5: Then look at this four and oh is the starter?
Ten touchdowns, three picks?
Speaker 2: So what happened? Why do you get pinched? I don't know.
My memory of it is that it went terrible.
Speaker 5: No, he played, So he played two games the next
year to start either of them. Only year he started
was that year he placed him on that team.
Speaker 4: This man played sixteen years and only played in seventy
five career games.
Speaker 2: I hate quarterbacks. Hey, would you now you're the one
crapping on Bubby Brister.
Speaker 4: He was the original Daniel, except he played way more
games than.
Speaker 5: His career record thirty seven thirty eight. Let's go about
under quarterback.
Speaker 2: Let's go Bubby Brister, he did, I mean he started
what for the Steelers? I think as well a few
years there. Now he started for Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4: Well that's that's also the Steelers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said he started for the Steelers. Said, I
completely misheard.
Speaker 6: You said, no, he's I don't know how I so
for the Steelers four, nine, eight and six, nine and seven.
Speaker 2: We never really heard my old man talk about Bubby,
but like they're both louiezy ended quarterbacks that play exactly
the same time. Forever ask him about Bubby when I
see him this weekend.
Speaker 7: I don't ever want to hear that we don't talk
about sports on this show, because in four minutes we
went from Masters to hockey to football.
Speaker 4: Yeah you Masters to Frozen four to Bubby.
Speaker 7: Let me bring this because you said Denver University.
Speaker 8: I was questioning this.
Speaker 7: I think it was either earlier this week or last week.
Gymnastics did y'all see that, like the Oklahoma team got
a gymnast. I think it was Oklahoma. They got a
gymnast from like Denver. That's gonna like be in their rotation. No,
And I'm like, I didn't know that we could.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like halfway through the year. Halfway okay, I'm not like,
not just for the tournament, just for this, like weet
a celebrity shot. That's what I would rock and celebrities.
Speaker 4: What I said.
Speaker 7: So River sent this to me and I was like,
what is this like a celebrity shot in beer pong?
Like what are we talking about?
Speaker 2: This article? Explore this? Yeah, I but that doesn't begin
until the seventeenth, right, it's next Thursday, when the championship's
gonna be Okay, and you give to the to the
n CUAA Finals.
Speaker 8: I'm about to send in the group shot.
Speaker 2: So Taylor, you got that video ready to go? Alandra,
can we get it ready to go with audio?
Speaker 5: Here?
Speaker 4: And know how they got Bubby's name. Last thing on Bubby.
His name is Walter Andrew Brister. Bubby much cooler name
than Walter.
Speaker 8: I kind of like Walter Andrew Bubby right.
Speaker 2: Finance, It's not Bubby football player.
Speaker 5: Like we were talking about this. The other name Florida
Great Basketball Team. I would hate for my name to
be Walter Clayton.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Walter Clayton's kind of boring for me. I agree
with your Rico Daddle tape, but I absolutely agree with
your Walter Clayton take. Bubby Brister lives.
Speaker 4: In Manville, apparently, Bubby, if you're listening to the show,
if you're listening to the show and you want to
come in studio, we'd love to have you.
Speaker 2: I would, dude, I would absolutely the stories that that
man could tell. I mean, he played for some of
the most legendary franchises of the most legendary time.
Speaker 4: Yes, And I would assume I might have my timeline
wrong that Stan Humphries was probably his backup at UO
Monroe Wow U L M. Stacking, and then Doug Peterson
was probably after that.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. What a yeah right, Northuistiana is producing NFL legends.
Shout out, Bubby Man. I hope you're doing I hope
you're doing great. Yeah, me too. Uh so this is
you know, this show covering the Masters.
Speaker 4: We don't have a lot to offer. Uh, the one
after us and the one after that? Yes, Yes, absolutely
what Justin Rose is winning? Hell yeah, cool, cool.
Speaker 2: And I'm excited to watch kind of over the weekend,
in and out. And again I think, no matter if
you give it about the Masters are not. The production
value is mind blowing. That's like the best part of it.
Like you can just sit down and watch and just
feel like you're cozying up with a warm blanket like
they absolutely. I heard somebody talking about how the feel
they want to give you it's almost like you're on
your grandma's porch in the Deep South, and I think
I think they accomplish that. But for this show, this
might be the most off the bench story to come
out of the Masters. The The amateur champion Jose Luis
Ballister took a uh win p in Ray's Creek in
the middle of the Masters. And he's also wearing I
guess this is a new trend upside down script on
the hat. I hate it as well, but he's wearing
an upside down script Sun Devil's hat to play at
the Masters. And then on this, on this this, this,
this hallowed ground that golf guys are masturbatory about. He
does what every golf guy's ever done. He has to
pee in the middle around and he goes sneaks off
in the woods. It goes pee and and here's him
explaining why he did it.
Speaker 3: Well, I completely Forgod that we have those ussions from
the left of the T box. O. Uh yes, correct.
And then I'm like, I really ended a pee. I
didn't really know where to go, and since Jady had
an issue around the game, I'm like, Okay, I'm just
gonna sneak here.
Speaker 4: On the river.
Speaker 3: Probably the people would not see me that much, and
then they caught for me, probably one of the clubs
that I really got today, like real oud. So that
was that was kind of funny. You concerned that there
might be any blowback from that at all, or I
mean obviously they did see you, right, yeah, if they
saw me this song, I mean it was not embarrassing
at all for me. So if I had to do
it again, I would do it again.
Speaker 2: Hell yes, jose take all of those tired, old sacred
cows and chop them up into burgers and beast.
Speaker 5: I love this, Like I was telling you you actually,
y'all were out. I had to host the show for
a week right after my buddy's wedding. Okay, and he
had it like a had an club, golf course, whatever.
We all got a free round of golf. Oh we're
sitting there, there's fun him and five grooms and so
there's six of us, and they were like, y'all can't
all play together. It's three man limit. Like why, He's like,
that's just the rule. And then I had to rent
clubs because I'm left handed right I couldn't use anybody else.
Speaker 2: Oh that sucks. I'm left handed. I just taught myself
to golf right hand, left hand to look.
Speaker 5: I needed all the help I could get out there
to bob. But everybody else was right handed. So they're like,
we're not all renting a set of clubs. Like two
guys had clubs, Like, we'll just share clubs. The guy
comes up, y'all aren't allowed to share clubs. Everybody als
out of their own bag. He goes, I'll let it
slide this time, And I'm like, I feel safer for
knowing that those rules. So I love the fact that
this guy's like getting out of the normal a little bit.
Golf rules are stupid.
Speaker 2: I'm not here to adjudicate all of golf rules. I
agreed the things can go a bit far. But also
I think the real golfers probably enjoy having to clearly
set defined or fine clearly to find set of rules.
But I mean, it's insane. I feel a bit skittish
about peeing on a golf course. And this man just
did it at the Master that made everybody mad. Where
there's thousands upon thousands of people, cameras every single place,
not a single blade of grass, not meticulously manicured, and
he just pissed in the creek. Said it was the
biggest crowd Poppy got all day too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you do it again, had the opportunity.
Speaker 2: I wonder he thinks this guy should be tarred and feathered. Well,
because he's a real golf guy. He's actually more upset
about the upside down lettering terrible hot again though, did
you see what Sergio was wearing.
Speaker 8: I don't even know who Sergio.
Speaker 2: Yeah, was it the McDonald's. You know, he looks like
he looks like an Oscar meyer Wiener. He looks like
the literal Oscar meyer wien or mobile walking around out there.
So like if like that upside down lettering is far
less crazy than what Sergio add on.
Speaker 7: The only golfers I know is Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth,
Rory McElroy.
Speaker 2: I can't name not another one, not a single another one.
Speaker 8: Louis Balister, Yeah, there you go. I don't know, not
Colin that is.
Speaker 2: It's our guy.
Speaker 5: Somebody had the same somebody me because look at the
next picture.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was seeing Oscar Marry Ronald McDonald saying if
we're going after Jose for upside down lettering on the hat? Yeah,
come on, now, I hate those colors together.
Speaker 7: Those are the colors I do love when the kids
are in their little caddy outfits and they go out
there and play.
Speaker 2: Though there's been a lot of cute highlights, So these
are these guys that we watched as really young golfers
who now just began families, and their kids are out
there hitting like I think I saw Speeth's kid teeing off.
I think mac was it McElroy's daughter who hit some
insane putt? Did you see that?
Speaker 8: Yeah, Poppy, Yeah, And when I saw that.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that's so great highlight. And then
you can tell she was so freaked out by buddy
cheer and you got a little shy like cheat even celebrate. Yeah,
that might have been her sister juicing her up, or
maybe two like another guy's.
Speaker 7: Daughter, but it was just another one Shane Lowry, because
Shane Lowry was the guy that was next to him
and they were saying that it was his daughter.
Speaker 2: Shane Lowry daughter was the one that was like that
was awesome, great job, and the girls all like freaked
out of it.
Speaker 7: Shout out to CT I knew I was missing. Another
textan Scottie Shuffler Poppy Macroy. He literally won it last year.
I don't know how I forgot that.
Speaker 2: Also, shout out to shout out to the Masters for
I feel like, I don't know, did they just allow
the family stuff this year, or is just one of
those random things that just caught on this year. I
think they've all he's been around to like be right there. Yeah, well,
I mean, I mean, I've never seen so many highlights
though of little kids hitting on Part three Wednesday. I
don't really know. I'm not the guy to ask anyway,
Just maybe it just went viral randomly this year because
they're all so cute.
Speaker 8: And they're tiny, little catty outfits.
Speaker 2: I do agree with this. William says, well, I mean,
what was Jose working with and Scott says, yeah, he
probably had nice Penis. Probably probably so he's of Spanish
descent from Spain.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the accent was great.
Speaker 2: I feel like if we were to look at a chart,
I feel like Spanish men would be some of the
more well endowed men in the world. Do we have
Have we looked that up before in this show? I
have not. Now it's on my cell phone.
Speaker 5: Guys, relaxed, we should look at its actually probably already saved,
so we.
Speaker 2: Should look it up. I want to know. I want
to know the answers. Taylor, please look it up for me?
Speaker 8: And uh, Sam burns about him.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe maybe I'm wrong, but I think, but I
think I'm right. What country Spain? No, no, no, I don't
want that. I want a chart of the most well
endowed countries on average. No, no, no, that's That's what I'm
giving you. Like it's like, yes, but but I'm guessing
that Spain is near the top. I also feel like
Brazil is probably pretty strong.
Speaker 5: This According to World data dot Info, Penis sizes by
origin Ecuador at the top.
Speaker 2: God, who have guessed? Not me, equadorn.
Speaker 8: I'll give you that one.
Speaker 2: Okay, keep going I want to know the other countries.
Speaker 5: Right behind Ecuador is a Cameroon, Okay, Bolivia, Okay, South
I knew South America had to be represented. Well, okay,
So what it does is it gives us erect a link. Yeah,
it gives you, yeah for sure. Obviously, don't ask me.
I don't know how to convert that.
Speaker 2: So I don't know. Text me, I I'll we can.
I'll look at the chart on my own inches I
don't know. Let me get top five though, so we
have three, let me get four.
Speaker 5: Or five Ecuador, Cameron, Bolivia, Sudan, Haiti.
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. Go.
Speaker 5: This is only one side. I mean there may be
some there's probably a lot of debate.
Speaker 2: Go ahead and text me this article. Okay, I need
I need to know this information. It's important information. All right, guys,
there is little master's talk for you. You know, happy masters,
all those who celebrate. I hope you have a h
an excellent weekend. Coming up next talk about Nico Iamaliava.
Keep a locked o TB mopter bench. Go to coolprohvac

no dispatchery, you don't have that conservative cool Pro go
to cool pro hvac dot com today. Yeah.
Speaker 4: One of the cool things that we talk about with
them is one hour windows. When they're coming to your
home or business. How many times you've been there sitting
there all day because it's six to eight hour windows
and if they even show up, right, you've wasted all
day waiting. That is not the case. One hour way
times you can see exactly where the tech is. Cool
pro hvac dot Com.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the seventh ranked morning sports show in America.
Off the Bench and with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 2: Okay, the Netherlands coming in at seven, tied for seven
with Gambia and Cuba six and a quarter. Bad news here,
Canada twelfth six point two. America tied for fifty ninth
five point three. It's time to annex Canada. Guys. It's official, that's.
Speaker 5: Right, because you get your average up that way.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Also, we have to prove dominance. We have
to prove dominance now in a different way. This is
like the equivalent of a geopolitical lifted truck. You know,
it's time to show these guys that we're big men.
Speaker 7: What about Greenland because we were trying to get Greenland too.
Speaker 2: Let's see, let's say do they I mean, okay, there's not.
Speaker 5: To her point, like, there's not as that many people
that live there, so they're actually probably a wonder if Greenland's.
Speaker 2: Even on this list. Nine six total country. Uh damn, Cambonia.
Cambodia is dead last three point nine. That's tough. It's
coming up short. Yeah, I mean, no wonder. The Middle
East is always up in arms Pakistan and or seventy
four and seventy five angry the world.
Speaker 8: I can never say that, dude.
Speaker 2: Last. I think it's one of the most fun names
to say.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think, like, what if there's any name
that nobody ever got because.
Speaker 2: Obviously was a big one om now and knew he
was a big one.
Speaker 5: Ray Malalaga, Mala whatever it was.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he played. He played linebacker forever. I still
don't know how to say it.
Speaker 4: I think it's he tried to play like Troy Polamalo
so much, God bless him.
Speaker 2: And everything else.
Speaker 4: And he was a good player. But I'm like, you're
not Troy. There's one of those human beings walking this earth,
and you're not him. But he tried, Yeah, he tried
different position, but he tried.
Speaker 2: Ryan Smiths's terrorism makes sense. Now, kind of agree, I
kind of agree. All right, So this is a pretty
shocking story here, Niko Yamaliava back in the news as
uh he is okay, remember he was okay. To give
you a history, he was one of the first big
nil contracts in the sport when it first got made legal.
He signed with Tennessee when Tennessee was no good and
he signed essentially a four year, eight million dollar deal. Now,
my understanding was that this deal kind of gave ten
to See like his full nil rights, like I thought
they kind of owned them, like if I thought there
were quirts that made this contract a little iron clad.
Apparently I was wrong, because this is what on three
Petenagos had a ON three reported yesterday quote and a
move many around the program expected. On three has learned
that Nico, Iamaliava and Tennessee are in active negotiations on
a new NIL deal ahead of the twenty twenty five season.
It remains unclear if those negotiations will impact Iamaliava's decision
regarding the Spring Transfer Portal, which opens next week. Wild
stuff here, fresh off of making the playoff, Nico having
a pretty good year now threatening to leave in the
Spring Transfer portal because he wants to get market value
and and well the market value things kind of interesting
because he's asking to be paid like guys that actually
played objectively better than them. But Tennessee doesn't really have
a choice. He has all the leverage here. You have
to pay Nico, right, am I wrong?
Speaker 4: So with the way that he waited, and if this
report is true, he waited to the spring window to
kind of bring all of this up, knowing that Tennessee
would not have any leverage because they wouldn't have the
ability to go into the portal and get a quartera
like maybe they could.
Speaker 2: Have gotten Jackson Matier or something. If he had left.
They could have gone after John Teer, sorry Jackson Arnold, Yeah,
could have gone against one of those guys. So he
knew what he was doing.
Speaker 4: Again, if this is a factual report, he knew what
he was doing and when he did it, it's right.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I think it's Pete Niko, So
I think we can.
Speaker 4: I mean I think it is as well. I know
there's some people that are saying it's not. I think
it is personally, just from people I've talked to at Tennessee.
So he knows what he like or whoever's reperen you know,
representing him, like they knew what they were when they
wait it to this window, because like Tennessee can't go
get somebody the same skill set, not at this point
right now, and so like whatever his number is, like,
they've got a counter and get close and match it.
Speaker 2: I hate this.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest with you. I want my quarterback
to have a completely different mindset me as a running back.
I want my quarter like quarterback all for the team.
And I understand that they're like, well, this is good leverage.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: At some point, though, you got to show leadership and
you got to show that you're the guy and we're
following you into battle and all those type of things,
and like this isn't even like the professional ranks, like
people are like it's pro football. Now, you don't get
to do this in pro football, right, I mean, you
have a contract, and sure you can outplay it and
you can hold out, but that's after you've done it
for three years and you've shown for three years that
you can do it, not for one year of a
good season, not even a great season, a good season.
So I don't like it. Not at that position is
held to a different standard in good ways and bad ways,
and this is one of those ways where man, I
need you to be all in right now. I need
you to be the guy that we are going into
this season. We're all falling behind you because you're all
about Tennessee, you're all about getting us back to the
playoff and this does none of that for me.
Speaker 2: Well, so does it change it at all? If this
is just Nico's representation doing this and not Nico himself,
because you know he's not the one actually out here
like negotiating this and whatnot. And I'm sure he's working
hard and going to practice does that change any of it?
Speaker 4: I would I would want him to come out and
be like, Hey, this ain't me. I am here, this
is where I'm going to be. I'm going to finish
in Knoxville. I'm going to finish what I started. This
is not coming from me. It's coming maybe from somebody
in my camp. We'll figure it out and we'll figure
out what the deal is going on. Yeah, because I
just I did a bad look. And like I understand,
you play quarterback, and I understand that there's some people
that make more than you now because of when you
did your deal. Now, when you did your deal, it
was groundbreaking, like you were.
Speaker 2: There, you had way more and you were un proven.
Speaker 4: You got paid like they paid you, kind proved kind
of the first did what you did? Yes, And now
there's going to be people that make more than you.
That's the way it goes. The league minimum in the
NFL now is like almost seven hundred thousand dollars. It
was two ninety when I got in the NFL. Right,
times change, deals, change numbers change just the way it is.
And so when you signed your deal, you felt great
about it, right, but you haven't done enough to be
able to go back to the table right now, like
last year, if a Dylan Gabriel would would have done
this to Oklahoma like before he left, if they didn't
push him out, which still head scratching, but if he
would have gone back and be like, hey, you know,
here's the deal, it's like, well, I mean, Dylan Gabriel's
got multiple years at multiple schools. I just still wouldn't
love it, but he would at least have built up
a couple of years.
Speaker 2: Incredible a year when he went, when they won ten
games at a Oman status are crazy.
Speaker 4: Right, and so like if you weren't, if you were
making like three hundred thousand dollars and quarterbacks that weren't
half of you were making three million. Okay, sure that's
not the case.
Speaker 2: Here though, no mensa was better than him. Even amidst
Beck's struggles, Beck was still statistically spirit to him. Maybe
Underwood is the is the is one of the ones
that wouldn't because Underwood obviously got he's getting three million
a year, uh, just out of high school. But no,
it's it's it's very simple. It's like you said, it's
just because he can't. Yeah, it reinforces how shockingly unbinding
nil deals are because remember these legally cannot be contracts
to play for the school. All they are are ad deals,
meaning at any time you can threaten to leave the
school and uh and and blow up the deals.
Speaker 5: Yes, Taylor, I agree with you when you say you
know Tennessee doesn't have a choice because what are their
fallback plants of Nico leaves? What schools that would be
willing to pay three million dollars actually need a quarterback?
Speaker 2: Then?
Speaker 5: Like, that's what I'm kind of looking at it. Where
would Nico go if he left A and M where
he would get that kind of money?
Speaker 2: Okay, So but here's the thing is, uh, maybe Nico
wouldn't get that money, but Tennessee would also be way
worse off. No, Tennessee. Tennessee can't approach it from like, Okay,
go test the market. You're not gonna get it anywhere
else because once he leaves, he's gone. And if he
does leave, regardless of Nico, maybe isn't as good as
we thought. It's still bad for Tennessee's worse offt No,
they are, for sure.
Speaker 5: I'm just I was just trying to look at it
both ways, Like I mean, the end game for Nico's
obviously to get more money, but like.
Speaker 2: What are your options? I just look, I mean, would
you rather.
Speaker 5: Play at Tennessee, maybe make a little bit less upfront,
or like have some desperate school that's gonna be a
five hundred football team this year thirty three million dollars?
Speaker 2: Like no, I agree. I agree.
Speaker 5: It's like all the top schools like, who needs a
quarterback right now?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 5: I think Alabama could be pot Yeah, but they like
Keiland Russell.
Speaker 2: They brought in Austin Max. Did you need the video
of the Obama quarterbacks though? And yes today trash. I
loved being able to just quote you with trash because
those are some Look, I'm it's tongue in cheek, like
I know, it's just a couple of throws of practice whatever,
but they were some trash ass throws that they put
out there on social media really bad. I'm not gonna
lie though, Jake. As someone who I I at the
end of the day, I absolutely love college athletes being
able to benefit off of their skill sets. I'm a
free market guy. Obviously the markets have spoken they want
to pay these guys. But this is one of the
stories that first makes me feel how a lot of
other people feel with just the cold reality of just
how much things are changed, it's kind of reinforcing this
idea that you know, these are not really college kids
as much anymore as they are pro athletes. And and I'm
still super excited to watch and i still love the sport.
And again, I'm glad they're getting paid. But you get
you can be happy about something and still have to
suffer some of the unintended consequences that you you don't
necessarily love. I'm glad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad too to you. Like I I think
that you know, for as much as we talk about
these players as much as we see, you know, before
their jerseys would be in the bookstores and we'd see
them wearing games and they show the b roll of
them anytime game day was coming on. Like yeah, absolutely,
Like there's no question about it. But we do have
to get to a point where we figure out a
structure where this can't happen, because this is not good
for any sport. Someone can hold it hostage like this
and basically they extort you.
Speaker 2: Lawyers, lawyers and agents are running college football right now.
Speaker 4: And what I mean, can we can we get real
contracts can we get.
Speaker 2: I think we're all have to come with like employments
that like I think the I think the hass I agree,
I agree, But that feels like something that the people
who are benefiting now would try to gum up forever.
Like that just feels, you know, the wheels of justice
move very slowly. That feels like that is just years
and years away.
Speaker 4: It probably no, you probably is, and it'll be tied
up in court and no court ruling is going against
the players right now, but it would just help so many.
Speaker 2: It's going in favor of the n c DOUBLEA because
the NCAA is illegal in its makeup, so it has
to be something new.
Speaker 4: Just if you don't have contracts like true contracts where
there's language in there and there's different bylaws in there
and there's different like it's it's just never going to
not be this. Yeah, this won't be the only like
and once this starts t once this happens, then it's
going to be six quarterbacks every spring that marquee quarterbacks
and be like, oh yeah, hey, that two million I need.
Speaker 2: To be Springportal needs to get out of here. Ideally
you go down to one portal window.
Speaker 4: I agree there too.
Speaker 2: You know it's weird. What like makes me just kind
of what turns me off the most about it, uh,
is just that like this real old man stuff. Like
back in the day, you know, you look at the
parking lot, just a bunch of college kids, crappy cars
for the most part, a couple of guys maybe have
nice cars. You know, you're going to class.
Speaker 4: And a nice car would have been like a Yukon.
Speaker 2: Though there's some chargers in there for sure. Yeah, I
mean those. I don't know how some of the guys
got dried. I never got a charges.
Speaker 4: I didn't either when I got drafted.
Speaker 2: But uh, but but you know, like you know, just
just but just like you run the midt of high
school cars, guys walking in cheap clothes, walking into meetings
and whatnot. And now it just looks like an NFL
parking lot. Oh yeah, awesome cars, really nice clothes, and
it has that professional vibe. Like when Jack Pieberns is
getting interviewed, he sadot, how could you not come to
work and and and be happy when you have these
facilities and everything. I never called it work. Now we
said it is a full time job that we're not
paid for, which is wrong. But that's that's just an
element that's changed and I for some reason, that is
the image that sticks out of my head. It's the
parking lot. Yeah, that's what proves we've gone true professional here.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's it's no longer like a charger being
the nice car in there. It's all European cars. When
you go in there, it's F two fifties. When you
go into there, like King Ranch F two fifties. You know,
it's not the single cab Dodge truck that I rolled
into school with.
Speaker 2: What did you What did you get here with? F
one fitty that eventually died on spring break? Just leave
it there on the interstate when I was on the
way to the hospital because I thought I was dying.
Did you leave it there rough day? No? No, no, no, no,
we got it back. Just leave it? No, I did,
all right when we get back more OTV, keep you luck.
Speaker 1: Off the bench.
Speaker 2: If your car dies in the interstate when you're having
a panic attack, you think you're dying and you're on
the way to the hospital, chances are you need new cars.
You should go to All Star Toyota of Baton Rouge.

Speaker 1: Welcome to the seventh ranked morning sports show in America.
Off the Bench and with Hester and t Bobus and
window broken girl.
Speaker 2: Get damn Nan girl here, get damn girl. Hey, get
damn I want a back go TV. I want to
be clear to you guys, at the end of the day,
this is I would take this over what we had
because I still believe the market is clearly spoken that
these kids need to be making money. Uh. It's just
it is quite the adjustment, like like and and and again. Yes,
you can have things that you don't like in something
that you overall agree with. And that's just kind of
where I'm at I don't want to be misconstrued. Now.
I'm with you too.
Speaker 4: I I am excited for these players something I wish
that we would have had when we were playing. Yeah, certainly, Uh.
Speaker 2: With Taylor all Day being a freaking mansion to invested
in Nvidia and twenty twenty because acts I had money
to do.
Speaker 4: So yeah, look, I mean these players and look, and
we went through struggles. I told you have to say
it a thousand times, like my wife dropped out of
school to be able to help pay our rent, and
that's just that's what we had to do. We didn't
have any other option, so we didn't I mean, we
didn't have any il right and.
Speaker 2: So so much money.
Speaker 4: Yep, it'd have been it'd have been beneficial. But also
like to the I don't want this becoming something where
these players put it above the game, and right now
it is like the game should be number one.
Speaker 2: Your teammates shouldn't.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, but I played with some that
that had that mentality. Your teammates should be above the money.
Speaker 2: To be fair, there are still guys out there with
the mentality. Those just aren't the stories we talk about
because they know they're not they're not drama, I hope. So, yeah,
there's the I think I think Garrett's one of those guys.
Would I played. Garrett played way under market value last year.
I mean way, and he's still honestly, even though he
got a big raise, he's still not getting still. I think, well,
Mason Taylor played way under market value last year. Like,
there's still guys out there, like it's just a nicko
story we talked about because it's like why.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I played with the quarterback in the
NFL that would have played for probably like what we
make here doing radio. Yeah, he loved it. Yeah, and
I know you're the game of the joy of of course,
Philip Wood like, he's look at all the deals he signed.
We signed those deals, so he didn't screw the other
quarterbacks as well, and he had an agent. This is
a man that coaches high school football for free. Right now,
we know the time and effort that goes into that.
He mowsed the grass for the team. He paid for
the lawnmower, mows the grass and doesn't get paid to coach.
And you know what else he does. He bought the
washer and dryer and does the laundry for the football team.
Speaker 2: Football. He's just such a good man.
Speaker 7: I think my thing with this is I one hundred
percent that the player think that the player should be
paid anil money, like for their name, image and likeness.
Speaker 8: If somebody is making money off of.
Speaker 7: A jersey that has your last name on it, then
you should definitely be getting money for that. I think
what's hard, what made it hard, and what made it
a little like this where we're like, oh, I don't
know how I feel about it. Is like when pay
for play came out, but but.
Speaker 2: But see, but this is I have a real problem
with this distinction though, because I agree, well, first I
think it's naive to think you're ever going to be
able to judicate between the two and rule on like
this is. But beyond that, Again, despite what media may think,
Old t Lib does believe in a mostly free market.
I am mostly a capitalist at the end of the day,
and like, I don't want these kids to not get
the share of the market that the market is very like,
very obviously showing that they want for sure. I agree.
I think maybe where we can find our middle ground is.
Speaker 7: Well, that's what I'm saying, Like there's positivesm negatives to it,
Like I don't I don't dislike that they're getting paid.
Speaker 8: It's just I don't know.
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is though, instead of a distinction
between paper and a l whatever, Yeah, I think what
everybody wants is just a clear set of uh operating rules, Yeah, procedures.
Speaker 5: The problem is, I don't think you can go backwards.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't think you think you can fix this. I
think this is only going to get worse. I don't
think you can put in rules.
Speaker 4: I think I hate a lot of this. But you
mentioned like the spring window needing to go away, that
would fix some of this issue. Because here's the part
that I hate about it. There's players that know what
they're doing, like Nico and Reports whatever, and others, certainly
the defensive tackles like that. They knew exactly what they
were doing. They were going to hold out. They knew
if they waited, they go through spring at their school,
but there would be other teams that would go through
spring and realize, we need this position, and so they
were going to leave their teammates and go to the
highest bidder. Your team on the spring was counting on you.
They thought you were going to be there. You were
there for spring practice, they thought you were going to
be there for the fall. Then all of a sudden,
you had this play in the whole time where you're saying, Nope,
I'm going to the highest bidder. I'm going somewhere else.
And then that team is left. They don't have a
position that you just left. They don't have a guy
that can fill that need. And now you're affecting your teammates.
That's where I get pissed off. Your teammates are supposed
to be your boys. That's supposed to be who you're
moving forward with. That's supposed to be your best relationships
in college it's a team game. It's the ultimate team game.
You can have ten guys going in the right direction,
one going in the wrong direction. The play sucks. That's
what makes football the greatest sport that we have. And
so when you do what they're doing in the spring,
it just blows all of that up. And that's what
I hate about it the most. Lap it up our
two of OTB.
Speaker 2: Next Denks, what's up? Guys? Spring has sprung, which means
it's time for some crawfish. And if you want, you
want to buy some great crawfish already burroled, or you
want to buy some sax crawfish to bowl yourself. Either way,
the best prices are there at Rouse's. I'll be at
Rouses eleven to one of Bourbank today you when to
comes say what's up to me? And John kicking it. Also,
remember though it's Friday for all you Catholics out there,
you're looking for some to eat, but you can't eat meat.
Head over to Rowses check out the nine to nine
seafood hot bar. Baby, I mean less in this economy,
less than ten bucks, and you get an entire styrofoam
box to fill full of fried catfish. We got a
two pays. I'm trying to remember everything that was on
there or what else did we have some maybe some
crab wantons, like some trimp egg rolls, Like it's so good, dude,
I can't wait to smash it for lunch today. Go
to Ralses, Louisiana from the original. A couple of temper
couple weeks with us.
Speaker 4: A that was rough, good gay put me in a
bad moving out.
Speaker 2: Uh, you know what I thought about yesterday? That's insane,
And I guess just want to apply to Laundra and Taylor.
Speaker 4: Probably a lot of things that you thought that are insane.
Nothing was crazier than this. Okay, he's building this way.
Speaker 2: Do you ever and this won't apply to you too,
but for a lot of you listening and will, do
you ever stop and think about how insane it is
that Nikola Jokic is significantly younger than you. Nikola Jokich
is thirty years old.
Speaker 4: Bro, he does feel much older? Yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2: He's like a about to be a four time MVP.
Potentially he's giant. He looks old. There might only be.
Speaker 4: One player in the NBA older than me, and that's Lebron.
Speaker 2: He looks old. He's giant. And when I was eighteen,
he was twelve. That's crazy to me, Am I the
only I cannot be the only one that's shocked by
that he's thirty years old. Unbelievable.
Speaker 4: Mmmm alright, let me see yep, Lebron is the oldest
player in the NBA, followed by Chris Paul, Kyle Lowry, PJ. Tucker.
Speaker 2: What Kyle Lowry up to? Now? I mean, how old
is Kyle Lowry?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 2: I didn't realize he was that old.
Speaker 4: Let's see, thirty nine, So just turned thirty nine March
twenty damn cal Okay, Chris Paul's thirty nine. He turns
forty May sixth so he's older than me by two days.
The old bastard, Lebron James is forty. Yeah, just turned
it in December.
Speaker 2: Again, Guys, all of you in the chat talking to
me about how he's older than me. He older me.
This is not a conversation for you. You two are
about to experience the weirdness of watching athletes slowly but
surely get younger than you. Now me and Jaker in
the phase we're watching coaches get younger than us. That's
not a good feeling. It's not at all.
Speaker 4: Actually, people I played with or against being head coaches.
Speaker 2: I'm six years older than Nikolae Jokic.
Speaker 5: The NBA is weird though, because of like the one
and Don's and then like Europeans could come like straight
when they're eighteen. So it's like, like Kevin Durant's older
than Kevin Love.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. That doesn't nothing for me.
Wait in the hour on that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: Our next after bench?
Speaker 2: Okay, what does that mean? I mean, I don't know.
Kevin Durant Kevin Love, they gotta feel the same, mate,
what are we talking about?
Speaker 5: It feels like Kevin Love has been in the league
like twenty years.
Speaker 2: Who's older? Kevin Durant is older.
Speaker 8: I'm with on this one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like Kevin Love looks about double his age and
it feels like he's been in league twenty years.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, I never thought. Okay, so Kevin Kevin Kevin
