Twitter and it was uh, South Alabama, I think, and
their dance team.
Speaker 3: Was out there, Alabama State, Alabama.
Speaker 1: And Alabama State that's where. Yeah, so Alabama stay in
Florida A and M and the I think the fam
you cheerleader or the dance team was out there and
the announcer let me find it so we can play it.
The announcer made like an ozimpic joke. He goes, this
is the new Faces of ozempic or something along those lines.
So once finds it, we'll play it.
Speaker 3: But so it was.
Speaker 4: It was the Florida A and M. Yeah, guy, Okay,
the honeybees is what they call them, Okay, And he
was like, yeah, coming to the field, honey bees or
the new faces of ozempic. I guess they're like skinny
or something. And a little bit of backlash.
Speaker 3: Oh no, interesting over the p A and everything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like not a hop might.
Speaker 1: Like he intentionally said it over the p A. Like
it was like a joke that he made.
Speaker 3: This is intentional. I mean, we haven't seen it. Yes,
I don't know. I got it, y'all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all need to look at the video. Answers are not.
I mean, look, I'm not trying to fight, but like.
Speaker 6: I don't know if we should play this video is
from the press box.
Speaker 4: You can't really see him, so well we can use
this one, all right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, congratulated them now the new face.
Speaker 4: But that's pretty much the video. But yeah, I mean
he said it like he wrote it with his He's like,
this one's gonna crush.
Speaker 3: He thought of that the night before I wrote it
down in the crowd immediately.
Speaker 1: The crowds reaction. No, the crowd's reaction is objectively funny.
Speaker 3: Mike is bad.
Speaker 4: This was intentional, No.
Speaker 1: He was, He's yeah, whoopsies, dang man.
Speaker 3: All right, so this was the fame you two? Was
it album? And all right?
Speaker 4: The Honeybees?
Speaker 3: Dang Alabama state, you got twenty four hours to respond.
You can't let this man get out.
Speaker 2: You can't let him pop off these jokes and not respond.
No strays right, all right, see what the response is?
Speaker 3: Dang.
Speaker 2: I can't believe that man said like I thought, maybe
a hot mic situation. Maybe said it like on a
broadcast where the listeners at home could hear, but not.
Speaker 3: In the stage the stadium.
Speaker 1: All right, whoa.
Speaker 2: I want to see some videos like the crowd like
turning their head towards the press spot.
Speaker 5: You know, like there's some band, like there's some exciting
bands that like the PA announcers like part of the show. Right,
he's pumped up the crowd. They got lines for him,
different things. This man kind of went off the rails
a little bit.
Speaker 3: For sure.
Speaker 1: You saw. I don't know if this is real or not,
but if we're gonna like fully get into this, did
y'all see another horny quarterback? Bites the dust set the
TI on the camera.
Speaker 4: Guys, that's why they have camera timers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, if these things are real.
Speaker 2: These these these people get people are getting out of control,
Like what.
Speaker 3: Are we doing?
Speaker 1: It was Carson back VI viewers and now Drew Aller.
Speaker 2: If you're wondering, just go you're we can't shows nothing,
we can we can't even nope.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, what was wrong?
Speaker 4: Well you move fast?
Speaker 1: Maybe that's just how I roll.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 1: He had a solution that they're ready. He said, you
use that that cameratimer.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. Yeah, you know, back in our day, she's like,
He's like, this is what I want.
Speaker 4: I can't make that happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can.
Speaker 5: Back in our day, we used to have to talk
to you know, talk to girls, you know with their mouths,
you know, just speak to them.
Speaker 3: Instead of just say the most ridiculous things. Instagram d M. Yeah,
that's a different world out there. It is.
Speaker 2: You also have to know like your name and and
handle and if it Israel, it's all attached to that, right, yep.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Also Instagram is not the place to do it because
on Snapchat it's tells you if somebody screenshot something, but
on Instagram it doesn't.
Speaker 3: But if even it tells you like what are you
gonna do? Wait again, God, that doesn't care.
Speaker 1: Like on Snapchat, if you if you screenshot the chat
tells the person that you screenshot on Instagram it does
not gotcha. So like, if you're gonna do it, do
it on Snapchat, I guess.
Speaker 3: Respect. But that person that you send they have some
self respect. Maybe just text them, I guess.
Speaker 5: Then, like at least you can deny it and be like,
that's not my world, that's not my number, or that's
not that.
Speaker 3: She just save. Someone just created this. She just created
a random and she's just trying to frame me. Yeah,
you hadn't swivel out there people both.
Speaker 5: Ways, Honestly, Like, if there's one piece of advice I
could give to people out in the world, it's just like.
Speaker 1: Don't leave a paper trail.
Speaker 3: Don't be dumb. I think a lot of people make
dumb airs.
Speaker 1: Never write checks when you're committing a crime.
Speaker 3: Okay, right, checks committee man, no paper trail, yeah mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Don't write checks your body can't cash from top gun.
So that's a nice playoff that like it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it all right, Well appreciate that, Elandra.
Speaker 1: You're welcome. That's what I'm here for.
Speaker 3: Hey, it's Wednesday. Do we have a little Deer Delandre.
At nine point thirty, we'll have Deer Delandra.
Speaker 2: So get any of your dear Delandra questions in. I mean,
I don't know that you're ever going to top go South.
I'm just gonna be honest with you. I mean, he
is really it's not a Mount Rushmore because he's alone.
So he's all four spaces. Yeah, it's a statue of liberty.
Yeah right now.
Speaker 3: But you can try.
Speaker 2: You can try to one up him. I don't know
that you're ever going to get that done, but you
can try.
Speaker 4: It's Everest, which we've gotten confused.
Speaker 1: Certainly Mount Rushmore Mount Everest for an entire show one.
Speaker 5: Time, Yeah, sure, pretty much the same thing, both mountains.
What I do want to get to I think something
we talked about last week. It's really easy during football
season to kind of get the entire show spend three
hours talking about our local teams, right, I want to.
I think as a sports show, we probably need to
spend just a little bit of time maybe taking a
little bit of wider look across the landscape the sporting world.
Speaker 2: I think that's a great idea. I think we built
our brand off doing that. Yep, we're not going to
dive deep into it, and I think we should do
that when we come back. Absolutely a segment that if
you're an OG hanging with hester fan, that you'll remember
and hopefully you'll remember it finally and we'll have that
for you when we come back here.
Speaker 3: On o TV.

Speaker 3: On the go.
Speaker 2: Check them out of Campus Federal dot or Campus Federal
Credit Union Louisiana Roots, Louisiana Strong Campus, Federal dot Org.
All right, this is something that we did again during
Haying with Hester show.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's about to say were we two or three hours?
They were two? We were sixth day.
Speaker 2: Okay, so we were two hour show and oftentimes Wednesday. Wait,
I was there once weak it was Wednesday, though Wednesday.
Maybe it was Wednesday. Well you did it every day.
I think I was Wednesday, but mainly Wednesday. Yeah, all right,
uh so if you're watching on YouTube, you're gonna get
a chance to see something you haven't seen in a
very long time.
Speaker 3: Toyas. That's right there, it is. We're bringing back crop
dusting sports production budget on this show.
Speaker 2: So through the roos, shout out to my guy Craig
for putting it together any man years ago. Yes, this
is what we used to do for two hours back
in the Hanging with Hester days because there wasn't a
lot of sports being a lot of lot of sports
takes given out during that two hours. A lot of
times it was CW shows. It was Pacy's Creek versus
Dawson's Creek. It was meth Gators, it was Joe Burrow
and was it Pete Warner fighting over the tire at
Ohio State. Yeah, horse jokes and so there. You know,
when we got into sports, it was called crop dusting.
Speaker 5: I mean, we were really more focused on like what
the bump music theme was going to be very much
for that day, what the headlines were.
Speaker 3: So we decided here, it's easy. We got three hours
here every.
Speaker 5: Single morning Monday through Friday, and it's I think during
football season it's like Monday, we were talking like it
was two hours of forty five minutes of like just
depressing talk about LSU football and a little bit of
talk about Saints and the moral victories. And I was like, well,
there's a lot of big things that happened. I think
we even skipped week in winters this there's a lot
of big things and there's a lot of big things
in sports that happen, and I think it is a
three hour show.
Speaker 3: We owe it to the sports.
Speaker 5: Community to talk about the big things happening around the
world of sport. So we're like, hey, let's do it
for one segment. We're gonna bring it back because you know,
weekend winners, we get a chance every Mondy to talk
about what happened in the weekend, but throughout the week things
happened as well. And of course we're not experts in sports,
so we're just gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna go right
past it. So we're just gonna crop dust some sports,
maybe every day, maybe just maybe one we feel like it,
we'll find out.
Speaker 3: Check that out.
Speaker 2: Oh look at that. Whoa, Yeah, we got a graphic
and everything.
Speaker 3: Did they raise the budget on this show? It feels
like they did.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: My first topic and crop dusting sports across the country
that we typically wouldn't get into here on this regional show.
The Cleveland Browns bench Joe Flacco in turn two Dylan
as they're starting quarter How do we feel about Dylan
Gabriel now they're starting quarterback four the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 3: Certainly, I mean Chador is at least the backup now, right.
Speaker 2: Uh, Nope, No, Joe Flacco is going to be the
backup and Shade Sanders is still going to be the
third emergency quarterback.
Speaker 3: I think this is.
Speaker 5: Flaka has been playing pretty decent, right, I know their
wins aren't there, but I mean he's been playing okay,
but it's probably time.
Speaker 3: It makes sense to me.
Speaker 4: This gives you something more in your offense, like strength
to Cleveland right now is their running game.
Speaker 3: Dylan Gabriel can run with the ball. He can just
do a little bit that Chandor and Flacco can't.
Speaker 4: Ye like you always grab Flacco to make sure, like
the starting before one of your rookies are ready.
Speaker 3: I think Gabriel's ready, Hell go with it. He has
drafted before like that.
Speaker 5: So Chador is the third string, still the third string,
flagens of me, the backup.
Speaker 3: Dylan Gabriel is the starter now.
Speaker 5: Yep, every headline it is about Shador, which is I mean,
it's I mean, obviously we're not surprised by that. We're
not even complaining about it. I just it's it's funny
because you just keep forgetting Dylan Gabriel was selected multiple
rounds ahead of him, so he is by default ahead
of him unless he does something to lose the job.
It's hard for Shador to like beat somebody out that
quickly that was drafted that yet and you hadn't really
played preseason. But Dylan Gabriel would have had to go
and look bad, and obviously has not looked bad.
Speaker 3: They think highly of them. They drafted him multiple rounds before.
So yeah, it's the move.
Speaker 5: I mean that if anybody's saying it's not the move,
they should start Shador right now. It's they don't understand
football and how business works.
Speaker 4: As somebody this morning shocker, they said, you can't convince
me that Shador Sanders is not ready. Well, you're not
out there in practice, you're not you you have no idea.
You're talking out of your ass. But they have a
lot of confidence in Gabriel. This is an eight am
game overseas against the Minnesota Vikings. Good luck to you,
Dylan Gabriel.
Speaker 3: Yep, I wish that he was funny.
Speaker 2: You know, it was three or three nineteen yards in
a touchdown and mop up duty against the Ravens. But
you're right, Like the entire time that they were talking
about it, they never once showed Dylan Gaber on the screen.
It was only shar Sanders. So like, there's some things
that he's gonna have to do with this.
Speaker 5: Noor's like in this unfair situation, kind of like arc
man in is. It's like, but here was a quote
the other day saying, yeah, I'm ready to play. I
could play right now. And they were hating on it
for It's like, what do you want.
Speaker 3: Him to say? Everybody wants everybody's gonna say they're ready.
He's a professional football player. That's why you get to
that level, because you're cocky.
Speaker 5: And you believe you're the best. Yep, you're already talking
too much on this subject. That was a little bit
further than crop Dustin. All right, all right, go ahead, sir,
you're up. University of Arkansas athletic director Hunter, you're a
check YEP. Had a quote, Yes, after the firing our
guy Sam Pitman RP quote Coach Pittman did not have
the resources he needed to appropriately compete in this conference
right now?
Speaker 3: End quote. How the hell are you going to come
out and say that to the public.
Speaker 5: You are the athletic director and you are basically telling
everybody that you are not good enough at your job
to allow our head coach you everybody liked to be
successful in the Southeastern Conference.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, right down the road from Walmart. How about them?
They got somebody to have a Walmart logo on their field.
Speaker 2: And you don't have the resources to dedicate to the
SEC tackle football team to compete with a coach that
that obviously everybody cared about, everybody liked.
Speaker 3: They actually did.
Speaker 5: Right by him by firing him now because he made
about three million dollars more if they would have waited.
It's in his contract that I think he gets paid
seventy five percent buyout if he has above a five
hundred record when he gets fired. Yeah, if it drops
to fifty percent, if it drops under five hundred win percentage,
it goes to a fifty percent buyout and his record out.
And he's like, he's two games, he's two losses away
from being under five hundred. So and they played tennis.
They have a big, pretty tough schedule ahead. So it
actually did right by him, paid him more money. Yeah,
the weird get out of here garbage quote.
Speaker 4: We like this guy, we didn't give him the resources
to be successful, so it's not his fault we fired
him anyways. Oh and hey, we're looking for a head coach.
All you coaching candidates out there, just know we're not
going to invest.
Speaker 5: We don't have the resources. Oh but he ended it
with it saying right now.
Speaker 4: I mean that's fine, but like, how does this inspire
a coaching candidate to want to pick Arkansas.
Speaker 3: I know the answer. It doesn't mmmmm hmm.
Speaker 5: Major League Baseball playoffs yesterday, well, Andrew a little bit.
Speaker 1: I am wildco wild Card rounds.
Speaker 3: It's kind of good like office watching. I'm in the
office out of the TV and.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, playoff, well, yeah, playoff baseball is the best baseball.
Speaker 5: Tiger's up on the Guardians now I want to lead
in that series. Cubs up on the padres One, red
Sox up on the Yankees, want to know, and the
Dodgers up on the Reds.
Speaker 1: I mean the Dodgers are the Yeah, they're inevitable. I
mean Shoo Tawyu record breaking home runs. The Yankees are
just struggling with their bullpen. And I was telling y'all
during the break that Scone was like kind of rubbing
it in Musso's face last night when I came in
to do the hand cast because the Yankees had just scored,
and I'm like, I'm not They're gonna blow it, and
they did. Aaron Boone always finds a way to er. Yeah,
Aaron Boone always finds a way to jacket up. The
bullpen struggling. It's yeah, but I mean the Tigers two
years in a row, that they're they're really.
Speaker 3: Making it deep into the players are hitting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Scooball is like insanely good too. He had like,
what thirteen plus strikeouts yesterday?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like he was one of those guys if he
didn't have eight strikeouts every start, You're like, what's going
on with him today?
Speaker 5: Hey, how's it got doing? I got hit in the face,
anybody know who? I don't know if that's good. I
think he's I think he's not deviate except them.
Speaker 1: Probably fourteen strikeouts for Scooball yesterday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, slight work, your your favorite. Matt probably a mouth
breather for a little ball. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not following the MLB playoffs because as the
chat let me know, uh, y'all know, I'm a Atlanta
Braves fan and they didn't make the postseason. And Brian
Snicker is actually no longer going to be the manager
of the team that just came across the wire him
to snit Snitzer, They're going to move him to an
advisory role within the front offic Do we know. I
have hopes. I would love for it to be Walt Weiss. Yeah, Chipper,
friend of the show, let friend of the show.
Speaker 3: Let Larry Wayne Jones Junior become the manager of the Braves.
Bro We'll be out. We will be on the top
of the dugout doing the show.
Speaker 5: We're actually gonna uh off the bench brought to you
by the Dugout.
Speaker 3: Brought to you about the Atlanta Braves Broadcasting. I can't
say that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not a professional all right, I got one for us.
Lamar Jackson will all but certainly miss Sunday's game. Sounds
like you can miss two to three weeks due to
a hamstring and Cooper Rush is their backup. Who's a
pretty good backup? Yeah, back, But the Ravens are one
in three right now. You play the Texans on Sunday
at home. Cooper Rush can beat the Texans. They're awful,
although they did just get their first win. I don't
think you're beating the La Rams without Lamar Jackson, which
means you would have to beat the Chicago Bears, because
if you start one in five, ye your season is done.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 4: With Lamar coming back after not playing for three weeks,
that's a tough look, right, dude, like that, that's a
tough ass for Cooper Rush. You got to go too,
and one in your next three games. They're one in
three now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is the right move though, to sit him
because he hasn't looked right we're talking about he's not
out running defensive line. He's taking a lot of satellite.
It's just not the normal Lamar. And if they want
a chance at it, yeah, you got to sacrifice. Hopefully
Cooper Rush can hold on to a couple of games
like then make a run with a with a fully
completely Lamar.
Speaker 3: But he hadn't played. He hadn't played like mister Jackson.
Speaker 4: No, like people want him. Do you get out outside
of the pocket right now? Which is a wild thing
to say.
Speaker 3: Right there. He doesn't look.
Speaker 4: Fast, he doesn't look decisive. He's hesitating. It's not great.
He ain't the only one injured either.
Speaker 3: They got all.
Speaker 4: They've got a pretty decent injury list right now.
Speaker 5: Yep, last thing unless somebody else has something. Of course,
this is a quick one. We don't even really talked
about too much. I just saw this. James Franklin, head
coach of Penn State, still that decision to wear the
blue jerseys at the white Out four and twenty one
versus top ten opponents, and his tenure as a head
coach for the Nitney Lions. Four let me say it again,
four and twenty one versus top ten opponents as a
head coach.
Speaker 1: Are I supposed to be shocked by this, but.
Speaker 5: I don't care how bad you think they are. Their
record is that is still an alarming number.
Speaker 3: They they even a broken clock is right two times
a day? Right? Yeah? And if you can behind, they
fall in love with them like in every all season.
I don't know, Like I kept saying, like, yeah, they're good.
Speaker 2: They're gonna win probably ten games, but they're gonna lose
the two that are against the best.
Speaker 3: Teams they play.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be it's it's in almost absolutes, not quite
there because he has four wins, but pretty close. I mean,
at what point, like honestly, and I might be in
the minority here, but like Pennsy's probably been more consistent
than LSU over the last like wins wise, right, they
haven't had the downs, have had the downs that L's had.
I'd much rather be l s U where every seven
eight years I have it like a championship run and
my downs are a little bit lower than consistently being
ten and two in it meaning nothing and adding nothing
to your trophy case. I would much rather be LSU
or at least I have crystal balls in the trophy
came out they won. The last time they won a
national championship, I think me and Matt were one.
Speaker 3: I think was it was it eighty six, it was
it was mid eighties. We were one. Y'all weren't even
in fault and y'ard grown. Somebody lost time. Somebody that
chat was like, well, how many of those losses were
at Vandy No. No. No.
Speaker 4: Eighty six is a Penny State.
Speaker 5: This is at the State of Pennsylvania State School, Penn State.
Speaker 4: Well, think about it. Last year they played SMU Round one,
who a lot of people were iffy about. They beat
the crap at SMU, but oh, here comes Penn State.
They can't they can't hang in the second round when
they played the premier programs. This happened a year ago.
It's the same thing every.
Speaker 3: Year, all right.
Speaker 2: That was crop dusting, sports where we go around and
some national stories that maybe we won't find our way to,
you know, within the framework of the main topic points
of the show, but we might actually have to do
that every day because we want to make sure that
we hit on some of the stuff that is going
across the country.
Speaker 3: The sports pros.
Speaker 2: I was about to say many up said so, but
I don't think so. I don't think that's actually been
said very often. All Right, when we come back, we'll
have Dear Delandra look forward to that. But before we
get there, go to a KTZ Blinds dot com. Ktoz
Blinds dot com is the website for KTZ and tiars
and outdoor Living.
Speaker 3: Been doing it since.
Speaker 2: Two thousand and four in Baton Rouge in Lafayette on

Speaker 2: Yeah, oh TV here on this r B Wednesday, nobody
wants to be great.
Speaker 3: Question. You got a question, I've got an answer. I
think you got it.
Speaker 2: It's October yep, the spooky season has started. Halloween yep,
robot season.
Speaker 3: Do y'all.
Speaker 5: That they don't make pumpkins like they used to? I
feel like as soon as you carve a pumpkin and
make a jack O lanter, it's rotting within two days,
maybe three days. You don't get like we have to
wait till right before Halloween to carve our pumpkins. I
remember like growing up, we'd carve a pumpkin, it'd lasts
for weeks. I felt like, are they too genetically modified
to grow more pumpkins.
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 4: I don't think they make them like they used to.
Speaker 3: They don't make pumpkins like they used to. Should we
have a carving contest?
Speaker 5: I'm assuming there's something you could spray on them, but like,
come on, pumpkin makers, I guess you call those farmers.
Make them a little better. As soon as I cut
them up, carve them up, put a spooky face on it.
You spend a lot of time doing that, like you
gotta do it. You scoop it out, scoop the guts
out out. I like the I like to bake the
pumpkin seeds, a little season it on there. It's pretty good.
And then you spend the time you draw it out
with a little pin or a pencil. Then you punch
it out with a little pin, and you cut it
with a knife. You get a nice little candle or
an led D light. Now a lot of people doing
l D lights.
Speaker 3: And you have money.
Speaker 5: What you're getting for like two bucks on Amazon, they'll
deliver the same day. I wouldn't know, uh, but you
do that all of a sudden, you're trying so hard
two days. Pay extra into my wife orders something the
other day before seven am. It was there that afternoon
without paying extra. But if like you order okay, anyway,
made this jack of lantern and it was probably one
of my greatest pieces of work. Two days later, started
seeing black spots in the inside. Three days later, more
about four days later, sorry collapsing.
Speaker 3: Were you keeping it?
Speaker 5: I mean where else would I keep it? Keep it
on the front, right front, Yeah, front porch, right out
the door.
Speaker 3: I think it's just too damn hot here.
Speaker 4: That's that's what I'm saying. Like if it's a direct sunlight,
it's not direct sunlight. They just don't make them like
they used to. I think you're buying bad pumpkins.
Speaker 3: Yeah, too many GMOs.
Speaker 2: You know what you get from pumpkins, probably rouses. Probably
they got some good punkin as well.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't pumpkins.
Speaker 5: Pumpkins, big, big pumpkin is controlling the chemicals used feel
like it. I wish they'd fix it, because I'd like
to have a jack lantern for half the month a last.
I can only get it for half a week now, Unreal.
Speaker 2: I didn't know you're so passionate about pumpkins, and I
like the Jack Lanner. It's fun, sounds like it feels
like it. Hey, we love you, we thank you, look
forward to seeing you again tomorrow, same time, same place.
Speaker 3: Enjoy the rest of your day. The Bench
