1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 2: Say Hester and Hester got a fine little far from

3
00:00:08,199 --> 00:00:11,519
carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each other on.

4
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:14,679
Speaker 1: The air well, there's prop control for the.

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: Live from the Raising Kine Studio.

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:39,399
Speaker 1: It's off the bench, all right.

7
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 3: Welcome back in our number three of OTV here live

8
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,399
from the Raising Caines Studio. Very excited for our next guest.

9
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,000
We look forward to it every baseball season. Good enough

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,119
to join us every single week here on OTV. Of course,

11
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,679
it is your head baseball coach Jay Johnson, getting ready

12
00:00:55,759 --> 00:00:59,079
for opening weekend. Coach, we appreciate the time as always.

13
00:00:59,079 --> 00:00:59,759
Hope you're doing.

14
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,479
Speaker 4: Well, doing great?

15
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:04,239
Speaker 5: How are you guys doing fantastic? How could we not be?

16
00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:08,239
Speaker 3: It is baseball season here in Baton Rouge, and so coach,

17
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,400
right off the top, before we maybe get into some

18
00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:13,719
of the matchup like for you opening weekend, like kind

19
00:01:13,719 --> 00:01:15,280
of what are some of the feelings that you have,

20
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:17,560
Like this is not your first time being a defending

21
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,840
national champion and going into an opening weekend, So just

22
00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:23,040
describe all the work that you do in the fall,

23
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,439
the work you do in January, and just what opening

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,879
weekend means to you, I think it's awesome.

25
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:32,359
Speaker 4: I think if you're not excited about it, it's probably

26
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,359
time to not coach anymore. So very very excited. I

27
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,439
think I'm excited for our players. As you mentioned, and

28
00:01:39,519 --> 00:01:42,840
you guys as former athletes, know the time that you

29
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,879
put in away from you know, game day that nobody

30
00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:49,799
else sees, and the game day and the competition is

31
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,439
the reward for all of that work, and so it's

32
00:01:52,519 --> 00:01:56,879
exciting for me. It's kind of simplistic of like, hey,

33
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,040
I want to see what we need to do to

34
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,560
really get better. I think we're probably at a point

35
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:04,920
where we need to play somebody else to know what

36
00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:07,879
we need to do to get better. And I mean

37
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,000
like winning games. An opportunity to win a game, you know,

38
00:02:12,039 --> 00:02:15,159
that's that's something that I look forward to that the

39
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:16,280
competition is back.

40
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, coach, I was thinking about the kind of your

41
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,159
off season. I know there's like a relentless amount of

42
00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:23,479
work that's put in by your staff and the players,

43
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:25,039
and I know it's a little bit different from like

44
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,159
when Jake and I were in college with the nil

45
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,319
and people coming in for the first time in transfers,

46
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:34,560
but I remember The hardest off season I've ever experienced

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,960
was after the two thousand and three National championship. Nick

48
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,439
Saban was a coach, and it was basically a reminder

49
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,960
to y'all that, hey, y'all are not the team from

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,840
last year, and I'm going to send this message to

51
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,879
y'all really early in our off season. Is there anything

52
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,840
like that, like just from a mental standpoint, like, look,

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,080
this is not the team, and is there a reset?

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,800
Do you coach them a little bit harder in the

55
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,840
offseason leading up?

56
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,479
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think it's a really good question. And you

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,599
guys are ten to play for the greatest coach of

58
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:05,159
all time in a sport that you know knows in

59
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:08,240
his line and quoting him as the biggest threat to

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,400
excellence is complacency. And it's very human nature to be

61
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,680
complacent when things are going good, because nobody likes being uncomfortable.

62
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,639
But it's in some of those uncomfortable times that we

63
00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:24,919
grow the most. And it's really hard to facilitate that

64
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,520
when you're on the top of the mountain. And so,

65
00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:31,360
but today players are smart. They're really smart. Not saying

66
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,280
you guys weren't smart, that's not what But you can't

67
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,400
you can't fabricate it to the point where they know

68
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,360
what's going on. And so, you know, we've had a

69
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,000
lot of honest conversations about it and use it as

70
00:03:45,039 --> 00:03:48,080
kind of like setting our course of like what does

71
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,680
this team need to do to be successful? And you

72
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,520
stole a Kurt Signetti, you know, saying of stalking you know,

73
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:00,240
that complacency element and you know, honoring the process of

74
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:03,080
what it does take to be successful and you know,

75
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:06,680
holding the standard and that doesn't mean wins or championships

76
00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:09,560
or omaha, just like holding the standard on a daily

77
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,039
basis of what's required to win. And so we have

78
00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:16,759
talked about it in those regards. You know, you're gonna

79
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,920
get You're gonna get everybody's best shot. Like that's really

80
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:22,399
no different. That's the way that it is. And it's

81
00:04:22,399 --> 00:04:26,959
been a little thunderbolt during practice yesterday, you know, raising

82
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,240
my voice that Milwaukee is going for the greatest win

83
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,759
in the history of their program on Friday, Like that's

84
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,439
what that's what's coming for us. So we have to

85
00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:38,079
be on top of our stuff to deserve to win

86
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,560
that game. So it we're mindful of it and talk

87
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,959
about it frequently.

88
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: Catching up with else, you had baseball coach Jay Johnson

89
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,000
here on OTB coach kind of going back to opening weekend.

90
00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:52,680
So you build for months toward that opening weekend with

91
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,120
a very specific blueprint in mind. So when you have

92
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,800
that blueprint and maybe it starts to get tested in

93
00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:02,399
real time, how do you balance like trusting the process

94
00:05:02,519 --> 00:05:06,040
versus reacting to what you're actually seeing on the field,

95
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:08,160
Like do you have a certain timeline? Is it different

96
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,680
every single year? Like because we all have a blueprint,

97
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,079
but like you know, Mike Tyson said, everybody's got a plan,

98
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,199
so they get punched in the mouth.

99
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,319
Speaker 5: So how do you always handle kind.

100
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,399
Speaker 3: Of the opening idea to what it ends up being

101
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,879
even in a couple of weeks.

102
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a good question.

103
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 4: I think that's where like you can talk about being

104
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,519
process oriented or you can be about it. And part

105
00:05:28,519 --> 00:05:33,079
of ours is, Hey, we're playing every game, like if

106
00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:35,959
we don't win, like all of our families are going

107
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,399
to be taken, you know what I mean type deal,

108
00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:40,759
Like that's a competitive level that I want. But at

109
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:44,360
the same time, while you're trying to do that, we

110
00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:46,879
need to figure out how we become our best And

111
00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:49,439
you know the line that I got from you know,

112
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,519
one of my mentors, Rich Hill, he's now the head

113
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,279
coach at the University of Hawaii. Yeah, who I worked

114
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,439
for for eight years. Is like, hey, we never want

115
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:59,120
to accept in winning what we wouldn't and losing, but

116
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:02,560
can we win enough games early to position ourselves well

117
00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:06,439
while still working towards our best team? And you know,

118
00:06:06,519 --> 00:06:09,000
I think that's something like, for instance, last year's team

119
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,399
did a really really good job of and did a

120
00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:14,240
good job of finding ways to win, you know, when

121
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,879
we didn't maybe play our best and then playing near

122
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,800
our best often is the goal, Like you know, it's

123
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,199
a John Wooden thing. You know, great teams play near

124
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,800
their capability often. Yeah, and then not not validate yourself

125
00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:28,160
as crazy as it sounds, and I don't want everybody

126
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:29,600
to think I fell and hit my head in the

127
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,639
off season, but like not validate ourselves by winning or

128
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,160
losing or what anybody says, but by a standard of

129
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:40,879
how we play. And when you do that you can

130
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:43,040
kind of keep getting that improvement and that that is

131
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,000
really really important as we go along.

132
00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:47,079
Speaker 6: Here, God, you got a lot of certainly a lot

133
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,439
of turnover on the on the roster. You got new

134
00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:51,759
guys coming in. Is there any has there any been

135
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,240
been a big like pleasant surprises to you from any

136
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,399
anybody particular this offseason.

137
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I don't I don't know if i'd call

138
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,560
surprises because they don't want to build a fence around

139
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,319
what I think, you know, anybody can or can't do.

140
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,600
I would say I've been very pleased with the improvement

141
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:13,959
of some of our freshmen since they've been here. You know,

142
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Mason Brown clearly far and away the best hitter on

143
00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:21,920
our team. You know, here in the preseason scrimmages. I

144
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,240
knew he would would be a great hitter in college,

145
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,399
but his maturity to slow things down and take quality

146
00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:33,040
at bats against really good pitching was impressive. So you know,

147
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,639
he's going to get some early, early playing time and

148
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,160
be a great player here. I think he's gonna be

149
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,399
one of those staple, you know type players, kind of

150
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:44,199
a blend of you know, Josh Pearson type body, Kate

151
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,639
Beloso type impact with the bat at his best, really

152
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,839
good strikes on discipline, you know, very you know, very

153
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,160
j Johnson type offensive player, So very excited about him.

154
00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:58,040
On the pitching staff, there's a lot of guys, you know,

155
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,839
to talk about. You know, I think looking at the bullpen,

156
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,160
really excited to have you know, Gavin Gidrie back. I'm

157
00:08:06,199 --> 00:08:08,279
happy to have Devin Sheeran back, Like it's a great

158
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:11,480
accomplishment to win a championship last year without those two guys,

159
00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:14,959
and they're gonna be key parts of this bullpen. Grant

160
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,759
Fonto is another guy that only through seven innings last

161
00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:21,160
year who's throwing the ball really, really well. And so

162
00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:24,600
those guys, you know, along with Maverick Rizzy a name

163
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,040
to know maybe that people aren't talking about a lot

164
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,199
of Ethan Plogg, a really good lefty that we got

165
00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:33,919
from a JC, really good evaluating by Josh Simpson. It's

166
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,000
one of the reasons I hired him. Is longtime scout

167
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,480
for the Rangers. So I really like the back end

168
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,759
of that bullpen. I think, you know, it's gonna be

169
00:08:40,759 --> 00:08:42,960
a little different model, Like we don't need seven or

170
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,679
eight out of the Friday or Saturday starter because we

171
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,840
could turn it over and match up for a good

172
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:49,879
part of the game and feel good about our chances

173
00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:50,919
of getting zeros.

174
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,399
Speaker 3: Talking to LSU Baseball with head baseball coach Jay Johnson

175
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,360
here on OTB coach Matt was talking about that all

176
00:08:59,399 --> 00:09:02,039
season that had after the national championship, and that's the

177
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,360
year that I came in, and so like there's an

178
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,120
expectation for LSU and you got to kind of learn

179
00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:09,519
the ways of LSU pretty quickly. But that was just

180
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,200
for a freshman class. Now it's freshman class and it's

181
00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:16,799
transfer portal, and for LSU baseball it's way like even

182
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,200
more so because of all the success that y'all have had.

183
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,799
I mean, for God's sakes, there's something called the intimidator

184
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,840
in right field to show the success for other teams,

185
00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:26,919
but the other team's not the only one that sees

186
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,679
the intimidator. Like new players see that when they walk

187
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,720
in as well. So for y'all, Like, how do y'all

188
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,320
make sure that those players know the responsibility of LSU

189
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:39,080
baseball but also allow them to be themselves and not

190
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:40,320
make it too much of a thing.

191
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I try to be really clear with them

192
00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:50,159
of like that's an accomplishment, that's what we're striving for here,

193
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,720
like so much so like we don't even really talk

194
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:56,159
about Omaha, and we don't even really talk about championships.

195
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,919
Like I try to let them know what my expectations are,

196
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,759
and that's to be the most prepared team on game

197
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,399
day or is what we call undefeated at preparation, and

198
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,279
then the expectation that they're going to give everything they

199
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,120
can to execute their job and be very clear with

200
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,840
them of what their job is. Like I have a

201
00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:18,039
five minute to ten minute meeting with every player on

202
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,960
a roster this week, you know, between Monday and Tuesday,

203
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,720
to try to help give them clarity. Because you guys

204
00:10:23,759 --> 00:10:26,200
have been there, It's like even if it's not exactly

205
00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:28,240
what you want to hear, if you know it's truthful

206
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,279
and there's good communication and there's is a plan for you,

207
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,080
like it's easier to buy into what you need to

208
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,279
do as a team. But it's really hard. It's a

209
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:40,960
big challenge here. But like prepared and execute your job

210
00:10:41,039 --> 00:10:44,480
with everything you got, like internally, those are those are

211
00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:47,120
the expectations.

212
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 5: All right, coach.

213
00:10:47,039 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 6: I know you're preparing your team's preparing for opening weekend here,

214
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,840
and I know in February. I mean it's it's February

215
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,320
twelfth right now, and I know February there's there's probably

216
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,440
a balance you have there. There's a process in place

217
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,360
for the whole season in mind and the whole end

218
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,600
goals you want to get. There's probably like a little

219
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,000
bit difference of coaching for results versus development right in February,

220
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,240
and you kind of hit on that a little bit.

221
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:10,840
But in your opinion, what is a good first month

222
00:11:10,919 --> 00:11:12,799
of baseball? What's a goal you would set for a

223
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,639
good first month of baseball for your team?

224
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 4: We win every game that we play, and you know,

225
00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:24,240
which is tough in our sport, and we're improving as

226
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,080
we do that, and we're kind of figuring out what

227
00:11:27,159 --> 00:11:30,559
the blueprint is going to look like for you know,

228
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:33,679
Championship Baseball, which might as well be the SEC because

229
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,480
you look through our schedule and the quality of teams

230
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,919
and players, Like I mean, I was thinking about like

231
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,480
somebody like Ole Miss the other day, Like I think

232
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:44,600
I saw they were ranked twenty fourth in the D

233
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,679
one poll and I was like, wow, that's a big miss,

234
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,440
Like they're a surefire national championship contender with the pitching

235
00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:55,039
rotation that they have and old position players and ability

236
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,159
to match up and bullpen and new pitching coach there

237
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,200
as of last year that does a good job. Like

238
00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:03,720
that's that's what's waiting So I think that goes back

239
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:07,080
to the improvement and putting yourself in a position to

240
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,919
where you can match up, because one win in our

241
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,200
league is absolute gold. And so again, I know it

242
00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:17,519
sound like a boring coach speak, you know type deal,

243
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,399
but win every game that we play and improve and

244
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,080
find out our best teams. We're doing it.

245
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 5: I've always loved that about you.

246
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 3: Every game midweek, weekend, doesn't matter, go out there and

247
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:28,080
win the game.

248
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,399
Speaker 5: So I'm all for that, coach.

249
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,279
Speaker 3: What about something maybe that you're going to be eye

250
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,559
hustling this weekend. Maybe it doesn't show up in the

251
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,759
box score, but something that you've been working this fall,

252
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,600
something you'll been working in January. Some of these small

253
00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:43,639
little nuances, the nitty gritty of it, that you're going

254
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,120
to be paying attention to, maybe more than anything else

255
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,120
this weekend, to see if y'all get it done.

256
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll start with tomorrow. Like, and I stole this

257
00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:53,679
from one of my peers in our league long before

258
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,440
I was a coach. Here he said, like the problem

259
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,519
with opening days everybody always tried to do too much right.

260
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,240
And so it's a simple stick message of that, use

261
00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:07,039
our experience to not do that if that makes sense, like,

262
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:12,440
and just focus on execution and mindset and so you know,

263
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,240
we've you know, had good opening days over the course

264
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,559
of my career, and I've always felt like that was

265
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,039
a big, big part of that. And you know, emotional

266
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:24,679
control is a big part of your success in baseball

267
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,840
and in life. So I'm looking for emotional control and

268
00:13:27,879 --> 00:13:31,159
then just focused on executing and this will be good.

269
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,919
These guys have a really old pitching staff that have

270
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,559
some guys that were All Conference pitchers, preseason Picture of

271
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,360
the Year type guys. So this will be a good,

272
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,519
good start to this thing. And then you know, Monday

273
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,559
playing Kent State Perennial Regional team thirty eight win team

274
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,559
pick to win the MAC. Like really good, good opportunity there.

275
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,200
So just excited to go on.

276
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, coach, I know you looking back a little bit,

277
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,840
you never are going to replace people and are else

278
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,759
so that graduate and move on to the next level

279
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:02,799
of their careers. But you certainly got to replace lineup spots.

280
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,080
You certainly have to replace production levels or try to

281
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,440
to replicate production level. So in the lineup this year,

282
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,480
how are you going to try to how do you

283
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,399
envision replacing the power production from Jared Jones gave you

284
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:15,960
a year ago.

285
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,039
Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad you brought that up and more in

286
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,399
a context of I think, you know, he's one of

287
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:25,440
the most underappreciated players I think in the history of

288
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,639
this program. I think he's third all time in home

289
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,519
runs and won two national championships in three years. Like

290
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,159
that's a pretty like all same career worthy resume from

291
00:14:36,159 --> 00:14:39,279
where I sit. So more it's like a credit to Jared.

292
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,200
I think, you know, I don't want to sound too

293
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:44,279
like the movie Moneyball, but like you know, you get

294
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,679
three players to replace one, you know, type deal, and

295
00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:51,000
I think that and then the length of last year's lineup,

296
00:14:51,039 --> 00:14:53,559
where I think Luis Hernandez like hit nine homers, but

297
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,000
if you go back and you start counting the big

298
00:14:56,039 --> 00:15:00,720
homers that he hit last year, they're they're pretty pronounced.

299
00:15:00,799 --> 00:15:04,600
And so I think just working towards the whole lineup

300
00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:07,279
being the best that they can be. You know, it's

301
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,000
not fair, you know, to ask somebody to do that.

302
00:15:10,039 --> 00:15:12,360
It's not fair to ask somebody to try to replace

303
00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:16,080
you know, Kate Anderson or Anthony Ironson. I just need

304
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,960
the guys on this team to be the best that

305
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,639
they can be. And I think, collectively, and I thought

306
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,240
last year's team did a great job of this, collectively,

307
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,279
we can be even better than the sum of the parts,

308
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:28,559
and that's what we're shooting for.

309
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,519
Speaker 3: All Right, there, he is head baseball coach for LSU

310
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:36,639
fighting at Tigers, Jay Johnson. Remember Friday two pm Central Time,

311
00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:40,039
Saturday one pm Central Time. Also on Sunday one pm

312
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,480
Central Time inside Alec Box Stadium, LSU versus Milwaukee coach.

313
00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:45,639
Speaker 5: We can't thank you enough.

314
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:47,679
Speaker 3: We all look forward to being in the box and

315
00:15:47,759 --> 00:15:49,759
watching the Tigers play, and we look forward to our

316
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:51,039
next conversations coming up.

317
00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:53,159
Speaker 4: All right, sounds great, thanks guys.

318
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 3: All right, Jay Johnson again, going to join us every

319
00:15:55,399 --> 00:15:59,200
single week here on ot B, and this is the

320
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,759
coaching season we get Betterina Kim Malkey, Jay Johnson every

321
00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:06,080
single week here on the show, and again some of

322
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,960
our favorite conversations. El Shoe base Baseball starts this weekend.

323
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,559
Speaker 5: Else she's softball right now.

324
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,759
Speaker 3: They're starting last week and they are playing their second

325
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:18,000
weekend right now, started on a Thursday here. They're going

326
00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:21,200
against Nebraska, so we'll update you on that as well. Pitcher,

327
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,519
you were talking about no No, this one's timid. I

328
00:16:24,559 --> 00:16:31,679
think this is a freshman for Yeah, so Jordi from

329
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,159
used to be Jordie Ball. She she's actually like a

330
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:34,879
two way player.

331
00:16:34,919 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 5: Now.

332
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 3: She didn't do that at Oklahoma. She's done that at Nebraska.

333
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,320
So with a tournament with so many games, I'm sure

Rouge's go to for all things Louisiana sports.

368
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:46,240

00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,880
school in classroom studying.

370
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 8: Ask is like instead of playing can you just play

371
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,799
the scene instead of playing the song?

00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 5: I mean, honestly, on YouTube, we can't get in trouble.

373
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 8: So hey, the father in Laura I told you, yes,

374
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,920
super smart to do a although they're late.

375
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 6: The email said at eight am.

376
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 3: Can I say how stupid it is that you would

377
00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:16,680
have a show on air and you're doing a fire alarm.

378
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:20,680
They would never do that later in the day, like,

379
00:19:20,839 --> 00:19:23,119
how dumb is it that you're doing a fire alarm

380
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,680
test in a building where you have a live show

381
00:19:25,759 --> 00:19:29,480
on in the middle of the show. That's the stupidest

382
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,680
thing I've ever heard of. Thirty minutes because we have

383
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,480
an hour when nobody's on air and then the next

384
00:19:36,519 --> 00:19:38,039
show's on remote.

385
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

386
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 9: I was like, you could actually do it anytime ten

387
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:40,480
to one.

388
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a three hour window right there, bub man

389
00:19:45,079 --> 00:19:46,720
trying to have me crash out here today.

390
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,519
Speaker 10: Let's not crash out my I'll turn the music back

391
00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:50,079
up so you can.

392
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 6: At least they didn't do while we were talking at M.

393
00:19:54,640 --> 00:20:01,079
Speaker 5: I would have what do we do? Pedro mm hm,

394
00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:04,759
oh my god, it's miss.

395
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 10: Davis all right, I think they're done.

396
00:20:10,279 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 5: Maybe they were listening.

397
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 6: I was kind of Heartbroke's where I was trying to

398
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,960
look up to see what miss Davis was doing these days?

399
00:20:16,079 --> 00:20:18,440
Uh huh, see where her acting career tugger. She was

400
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:23,240
actually a Canadian born Hey wasn't from West Texas at all.

401
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 10: Dang, that is heartbreaking.

402
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 6: What's she doing though, didn't say really like what she

403
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,880
doing tonight that you're trying to figure.

404
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,799
Speaker 9: Out, like not necessarily now now.

405
00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 5: But you know, cash year she's retired from dancing or teaching.

406
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,720
Too many dollar dollar bills.

407
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,599
Speaker 9: That's a nice car for a teacher salary.

408
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 5: We got a game today.

409
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: Well, man, if anybody in the room can guess this

410
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,359
next question that I'm about to ask coffee on me tomorrow.

411
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 5: Morning, guess the answer. I guess the question. No, I

412
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,799
guess the answer to the question the question. If you

413
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:12,200
could guess the question I'm about to.

414
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,759
Speaker 3: Ask, well, yeah, like I guess the answer to the question.

415
00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:18,599
I thought that was just kind of like insinuated. I

416
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:24,799
forget who my audience is, though, give me, without looking

417
00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:28,119
down at your screens, give me right now, currently who

418
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,160
the top team in the NBA in the East and

419
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,279
the top team in the West.

420
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 9: So the West would be.

421
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,519
Speaker 8: It's is the West the Cleveland Cavaliers, I mean, sorry,

422
00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:42,279
the East, the Cleveland Cavalers.

423
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:43,839
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna take give me your guess.

424
00:21:43,599 --> 00:21:49,759
Speaker 9: And then the West would be not the Spurs. But

425
00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:50,440
they're up there.

426
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 10: The Spurs are like, what second or third?

427
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're up there.

428
00:21:53,799 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 10: I'm saying this with like literally no knowledge of what's

429
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,960
happening in the NBA. Besides with the Spurs.

430
00:21:59,319 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, go the Knicks. It's not bad.

431
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 10: I know it's not the Spurs. I'm say the Spurs, I'll.

432
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 8: Go, I'll go Calves in the East, I'll go Houston

433
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,319
Rockets in the West.

434
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:30,279
Speaker 11: Matthew, Uh Thunder okay, and Celtics okay.

435
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 3: Uh so for a laundry, she said, Nicks, they're actually

436
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,680
third in the East, so good guess.

437
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,599
Speaker 5: And Spurs are second in the West.

438
00:22:38,319 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 3: You say Cleveland Cavaliers they're fourth in the East. And

439
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,440
you said the Rockets there fourth.

440
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,519
Speaker 5: In the in the West. Uh.

441
00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 3: There for Matthew, he said the Thunder in the West,

442
00:22:49,279 --> 00:22:53,799
they are actually number one. He said the Boston Celtics

443
00:22:53,799 --> 00:23:01,680
in the East, they're actually number two. Maybe card game

444
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,480
might have gotten him a little like a probably.

445
00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 9: I forgot matt was a big time he's big time basketball.

446
00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 3: But it is funny the team Nobody guessed the team

447
00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:17,279
in the East like in any of their guesses there

448
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,720
Detroit Pistons, So right, in thirteen.

449
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 10: Wow, Spurs beat the Warriors last night?

450
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:29,559
Speaker 9: That they did right after a three well the Calves.

451
00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 8: I was like, wait a minute, I feel like I

452
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,960
had just seen something on ESPN a couple of days

453
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,039
ago talking about like Detroit the surprise team. I just

454
00:23:36,079 --> 00:23:36,880
forget about him.

455
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 3: The second best record in the NBA Caid cutting here

456
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,559
from Oklahoma State from the tops chrome breaks.

457
00:23:46,519 --> 00:23:47,559
Speaker 9: I know.

458
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,279
Speaker 5: I know that's how you know idiots sg A his

459
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:52,720
rookie years with the Clippers.

460
00:23:53,039 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 3: I do know that because you and I were on

461
00:23:55,279 --> 00:23:56,759
a break a couple of weeks ago, and I had

462
00:23:56,839 --> 00:24:00,200
the Clippers the break before the case said that the

463
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,160
next one was SGA.

464
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 8: Okay, they got they got. Tough guy Isaiah Stewart.

465
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,039
Speaker 5: He's suspended right now.

466
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,799
Speaker 3: What were the finger quotes?

467
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 9: He's a try hard, tough guy.

468
00:24:13,039 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 8: I think like anytime something goes wrong like Miles Bridges

469
00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:21,079
and Isaiah Stewart's teammate got it too little scrum the

470
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,160
Big Dillo Shoven match, and Isaiah Stewart loses his mind,

471
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:26,799
runs onto the court, tries to fight people. Remember the

472
00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:28,839
Remember the guy that ran under the court and tried

473
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,000
to fight Lebron A couple of years ago, same guy.

474
00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:34,759
Speaker 5: He's an idiot, a big fellow.

475
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:35,759
Speaker 9: He's a big fella.

476
00:24:35,839 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 6: But also, like basketball is a lot of fake tough guys.

477
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,279
He's not hold me back, hold me back.

478
00:24:41,799 --> 00:24:44,279
Speaker 9: I get everybody has their roles to play. He's not.

479
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,200
He's not good enough to be acting like that.

480
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 3: He's just Detroit Pistons. And I knew nobody would get that,

481
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,160
because I would not have gotten that either. Right now,

482
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,920
in the East, it is the Piston, Celtics, Nicks, Calves, Raptors,

483
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,240
seventy six Ers, Magic and Heat, and then you've got

484
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,279
your playing spots with the Hornets and Hawks. In the West,

485
00:25:05,319 --> 00:25:09,920
it's the thunder Spurs, Nuggets, Rockets, Timberwolves, Lakers, Sons, Warriors,

486
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,920
and then the Clippers and Trailblazers. Of all teams, the

487
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,200
New Orleans Pelicans are twenty seven and a half games

488
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,000
at a first place.

489
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 9: What's up a bud striking distance?

490
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,519
Speaker 3: Hey, couple of seventeen eighteen game win streaks are right

491
00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:24,240
back in this thing.

492
00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 5: God, they're bad.

493
00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 9: Lane went to the game last night. This is where

494
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,240
we turn it around.

495
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 5: Story time on sure.

496
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,079
Speaker 3: All right, before we get to chef Michael Johnson and

497
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,480
your munchy questions. Go ahead and get those munchy questions

498
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,480

00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:50,279
right into it.

558
00:28:50,839 --> 00:28:51,839
Speaker 5: Hashtag munchies.

559
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,519
Speaker 3: How do you come up with your menu each week

560
00:28:54,599 --> 00:28:56,279
for the teams?

561
00:28:56,839 --> 00:28:59,039
Speaker 7: Yeah, so we actually come up with the menus three

562
00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:02,559
weeks ahead of time, and we meet every actually, I'm sorry,

563
00:29:02,559 --> 00:29:05,119
we come up with eight weeks of menus, right so,

564
00:29:05,559 --> 00:29:08,359
and then and then every three weeks we sit and

565
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,920
scrutinize the menus and talk about if there's anything we

566
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,960
need to do to change over the next three weeks,

567
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,319
and if there was anything that we needed to evaluate

568
00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:19,440
and come back with information on that that, we're not

569
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,640
waiting eight weeks for that information, right, So, and we're

570
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,680
we're actually talking about doing that more often, just to

571
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,799
you know, liven things up and get get feedback quickly,

572
00:29:29,839 --> 00:29:33,680
more more quickly. But I mean it's a constant and

573
00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:38,599
perpetual action, right, So it is you know, I have

574
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,759
one chef that puts the framework of the of the

575
00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:43,839
menu together, and then the other chefs kind of look

576
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,400
through it and kind of poke at it a little

577
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,119
bit and and come up with suggestions. And then we

578
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,400
sit with the dieticians and let them poke through it

579
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,440
a little bit and allow them their their suggestions and such.

580
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,640
But realistically, it takes a team to get it done.

581
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,440
I mean, our menus change every ment, right. So you know,

582
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,920
if you're at a restaurant, you put a menu in place,

583
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,480
and you know, if there's restaurants that take weeks and

584
00:30:06,519 --> 00:30:09,440
months to construct the perfect menu for their for their business,

585
00:30:09,519 --> 00:30:13,319
right and we're constructing a new menu every meal, so

586
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,240
you know, it's burdensome, and so we we share the

587
00:30:17,319 --> 00:30:20,279
labor amongst you know, like if one chef has been

588
00:30:20,279 --> 00:30:22,400
doing it for a while, we'll we'll take and put

589
00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:25,319
them on say scheduling, and let them do the scheduling

590
00:30:25,319 --> 00:30:26,880
for a little while and then put another chef on

591
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,599
the on the on the menu. Because it is, uh,

592
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:33,000
it is burdensome. It's a lot of work, and so

593
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:36,519
we we do it as a shared group. And you know,

594
00:30:36,599 --> 00:30:41,519
we need feedback from athletes, so we have uh deployed

595
00:30:42,039 --> 00:30:44,920
you know, different mechanisms to allow them feedback as well.

596
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,640
And and and also I go and meet them in

597
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,400
their arenas wherever they're participating or practicing or whatever and

598
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,319
talk to them on a pretty regular basis, depending on

599
00:30:54,359 --> 00:30:57,119
who's in in season and who's not, who's available and

600
00:30:57,119 --> 00:30:59,799
who's not, just to kind of show face, meet them

601
00:30:59,799 --> 00:31:02,240
where they are and have the open discussion you know,

602
00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:05,799
about the menus and to be honest with you you know,

603
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,759
for me, if I'm as the executive chef, when when

604
00:31:09,799 --> 00:31:12,799
the athletes are sitting here eating, they're not going to

605
00:31:12,839 --> 00:31:14,559
give me honest feedback. If I come and ask them

606
00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:16,160
how the food is, you know what I mean, They're

607
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,799
gonna say, hey, yep, it's so great, you know, right,

608
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,720
So it's kind of intimidating, and so I prefer to

609
00:31:21,759 --> 00:31:24,480
go to them and their confidence places where they're comfortable

610
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,960
with their team around them, and we get good feedback

611
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:27,359
that way.

612
00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 5: Good, Chef, I'm sorry I was watching this game. Chef.

613
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:35,319
Speaker 6: I want to ask you a little bit more personal question.

614
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,400
So this is a it's a big week for all

615
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,799
the hopeless romantics out there, maybe some people wanting to

616
00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:43,799
procure a menu or a plate for a loved one

617
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,880
who they're trying to impress. What's the what's the perfect

618
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,039
Valentine's meal to make for a significant other?

619
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you know one. This comes from the

620
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,960
heart first of all. You know, like I'm a huge

621
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,880
fan of going out and getting you know, like if

622
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,400
I can find catch shrimp or catch some crabs, or

623
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,079
catch a fish, or you know, like even shoot a deer.

624
00:32:05,839 --> 00:32:09,680
You know, like if I have a cow on my property,

625
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,160
which is kind of extraordinary, it's a bad example, but

626
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,359
you know, like the further the further I can delve into,

627
00:32:17,359 --> 00:32:20,599
you know, like the procurements, even maybe the growth of

628
00:32:20,759 --> 00:32:23,720
the of the product. You know, if it's some growing tomatoes,

629
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,920
which is a bad example too. Because they haven't come

630
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,640
up yet. But if it's something that you can grow

631
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,559
and it's something that you can put yourself into and

632
00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:33,599
then produce it, you know, like it's it's a deeper

633
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,160
level of passion, if you will, I think it's it's

634
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,640
equitable instead of buying flowers from the place that you

635
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,559
know goes eight x on Valentine's Day. You know, like

636
00:32:42,759 --> 00:32:45,279
those those roses cost twelve dollars last week and now

637
00:32:45,319 --> 00:32:48,119
they're eighty five. I'm a I'm a huge fan of

638
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,559
going out and picking flowers or you know, like and

639
00:32:50,599 --> 00:32:54,720
doing that more often, and and you know, like the

640
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,240
meal is going to come from the heart something that

641
00:32:57,319 --> 00:32:59,960
I have, you know, not just gone out and bought

642
00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:02,160
something that I have put a lot of time and

643
00:33:02,279 --> 00:33:03,200
energy into procure.

644
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 3: Jeff, we also had another question kind of based off

645
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,200
my first question about when you put the menu together,

646
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,920
what about somebody that has restrictions in their diet. Certainly,

647
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,960
are you going to have some athletes that are going

648
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,319
to fall in that maybe they have something gluten doesn't

649
00:33:17,359 --> 00:33:20,039
agree with them, whatever it might be lactose intolerant. So

650
00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:23,799
when you have an athlete like that, what's that special consideration?

651
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,599
Speaker 7: Look like, yeah, So we have an entire area of

652
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,680
the fourth Nutrition Center that is the dietary friendly Area.

653
00:33:30,319 --> 00:33:33,000
We don't call it the allergen station, we don't call

654
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,200
it the gluten free station. We just call it the

655
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,599
dietary friendly area. And if there are special requirements, which

656
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,640
we do have some, we do have some silly ECX kids.

657
00:33:41,759 --> 00:33:45,319
I mean, honestly, these days, you need to account for

658
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,240
probably anywhere between seven and ten percent of all human

659
00:33:49,279 --> 00:33:52,440
beings in the United States, and stronger than that in

660
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,480
certain areas, are going to be some kind of dietary need,

661
00:33:56,759 --> 00:33:59,799
right so we have to make accommodations for that.

662
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:00,319
Speaker 5: We do.

663
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,559
Speaker 7: We we have on certain nights of the week, we

664
00:34:03,559 --> 00:34:06,000
we prepare an entire meal this group gluten friendly so

665
00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:09,920
that they can come in and you know, they don't

666
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,039
have to wait for us to prepare something. They can

667
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,599
they can get that that dish and take it right

668
00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:16,880
to the table so that they're not waiting on us,

669
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,079
you know, because it's it's one thing for us to

670
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,000
be able to produce it. But when you walk in

671
00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:23,960
the door and you're with your friends and then you

672
00:34:24,039 --> 00:34:26,480
have to go ask for special foods and you have

673
00:34:26,519 --> 00:34:28,559
to wait for the chef to prepare it. By the

674
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:31,000
time you sit down and get your food, you know,

675
00:34:31,039 --> 00:34:34,639
your friends are like, hey, we'll see u, you know,

676
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,199
and so we we we take that into consideration many

677
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,360
you know, it's it's it's got to be thoughtful food.

678
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,840
And so there's twice a week that we do that.

679
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,320
We we pre prepare these foods and you know, put

680
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,199
them into a secure area where it's not got not

681
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:53,079
not got any of those allergiens or gluten or whatever

682
00:34:53,079 --> 00:34:55,960
it is, and and put a space in a white

683
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,239
jacket there or a sous chef or white jackets to

684
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,840
the people, you know, like the chefs in the kitchen

685
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,280
that run the kitchen. And then we have gray jackets

686
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,480
that are cooks and senior cooks as such. But we

687
00:35:06,639 --> 00:35:09,719
usually hand that to a white jacket to handle. But yeah,

688
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,280
we do prepare for that for sure.

689
00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 5: What color is your jacket, chef?

690
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 7: Oh, it's white. There, it's white with some gravy on

691
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:17,239
it right now?

692
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,159
Speaker 5: Well white or brown gravy? Yeah?

693
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 7: No, it's brown.

694
00:35:23,119 --> 00:35:26,159
Speaker 3: Okay, all right?

695
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,559
Speaker 5: Hashtag munchies. Has have you ever had a former athlete

696
00:35:29,599 --> 00:35:30,239

697
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 7: I actually have a former athlete working here right now. Yeah,

698
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,280
he played football with us in twenty nineteen, and he

699
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,280

Speaker 3: Yeah, probably some great place of work about saying, some

705
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 5: He learned being a part of a team, eat good well.

706
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 7: And he appreciates me because he was here in twenty

707
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,679
nineteen and while I'm trying to accomplish here, you know,

708
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,440
and we appreciate him for what he's trying to accomplish

709
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,960
with himself, you know, his life beyond football. And I

710
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,159
admire the hell out of that man.

711
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt about it. Chef.

712
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 3: It is Mardi Gras season, as we all know here

713
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:16,360
in Louisiana. Uh, favorite Mardi Gral parade food. Like you know,

714
00:36:16,519 --> 00:36:19,480
if you're out there and maybe need to be a

715
00:36:19,519 --> 00:36:21,400
little versatile, you don't want to go in and out

716
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:22,719
of the house, you're on a prey ground.

717
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 5: Maybe your go to snack for Mardi Gras season.

718
00:36:26,119 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 7: Uh, we call that a beer.

719
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,639
Speaker 5: So it's liquid, okay, liquid diet You're in.

720
00:36:33,559 --> 00:36:35,519
Speaker 7: It's the only answer to that question.

721
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,559
Speaker 5: That's a great I'm not even going to push you

722
00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:38,760
on that, and that's a great one.

723
00:36:39,159 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 3: I can't even argue with that. Well done, Jeff, well done.

724
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 5: Let's see, I'm scott rolling here.

725
00:36:47,639 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 6: You kind of already answered them about the dietary restrictions.

726
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 5: What is your plans? Do you have to do? You?

727
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,960
Do you like to visit the praise?

728
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 6: Are you kind of like, uh, you know, there's some

729
00:36:58,079 --> 00:37:00,559
parade heads out there that are like they'll just fight

730
00:37:00,639 --> 00:37:02,280
for a parking spot and make their way with the

731
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:03,280
lawn chair or.

732
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 5: Do you have plans? You have something you do every year?

733
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 7: When I was younger, you know, I was in the

734
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,599
middle of canal every year, and that might be upright,

735
00:37:12,639 --> 00:37:16,119
that might be you know, prone, laying down, you know,

736
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,360
like waiting for the next parade. And so I'm not

737
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,119
as much anymore.

738
00:37:21,119 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 4: Man.

739
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 7: I'm celebrating my fiftieth birthday this year, and you know,

740
00:37:24,039 --> 00:37:27,280
like I feel like it's kind of a younger man's

741
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:31,039
game in my mind. So I'll go to a parade.

742
00:37:31,119 --> 00:37:34,719
My fiance is trying to get me since she's never been,

743
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,000
and so we're having this kind of household struggle of

744
00:37:38,079 --> 00:37:41,840
whether we're going or not, you know, my life is

745
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,320
chaos enough without the parade routes and such, and so

746
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,360
I kind of enjoyed, you know, calm at my house,

747
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,360
and so going to a parade on the weekend is

748
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,360
just kind of extending what my normal looks like to

749
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,400
be working such, so I will go. I just don't.

750
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,719
I don't. I don't relish it the way that I

751
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,840
used to do. I mean, like, get there, all have.

752
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 5: A good time.

753
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,599
Speaker 7: It's the it's the idea of going through it in

754
00:38:04,639 --> 00:38:07,239
the parking and the punk you know, like just the

755
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,840
rigmarole to find in a parking spot is enough to

756
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:10,599
turn me away.

757
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 5: All right.

758
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 3: There he is Chef Michael Johnson, executive chef for LSU Athletics,

759
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,159

764
00:38:26,599 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 5: Beer good answer there, I mean, drink your calories.

765
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 3: Sometimes I'd say the chef who prepares food said, the

766
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:38,599
only food I need is a ice cold do Sekis.

767
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 5: You wish that?

768
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 6: Like everybody just attacked whatever their job is and whatever

769
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,280
their passion was, Like chef attacks like being a chef,

770
00:38:46,599 --> 00:38:49,679
the attention he does too, and the work ethic and

771
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:53,079
the thoughtfulness behind you know what, are you just talking

772
00:38:53,119 --> 00:38:56,280
about curating a menu like it's right? Just thinking about

773
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,159
a menu, yep, and creating it just from out of poof,

774
00:38:59,159 --> 00:38:59,760
out of the air.

775
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 5: It's wild.

776
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,159
Speaker 6: And all the different alterations you have to make that

777
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,400
for dietaria restrictions and allergies and stuff. It's and for

778
