That 32 00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:29,040 is true. 33 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,879 Speaker 3: That is true, and then we're very pleased, like we 34 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,159 have been most times this season. So before you look 35 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,040 forward to coach, let's take a look back last weekend 36 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,079 and it starts with Kate Anderson. One of the more 37 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,640 legendary performances we've ever seen in a Tiger uniform, A 38 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,319 regular season game that will stand the test of time. 39 00:01:50,359 --> 00:01:53,719 They will always be remembered, complete games, shutout, one hundred 40 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,560 and thirty pitches, and if you could, could you take 41 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,560 us into the decision making process right because I started 42 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,239 doing it, like after the seventh inning. I kept tweeting 43 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,359 his stats and being like, Okay, that's his night, Like wow, 44 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,879 what a great performance. What is the process between you 45 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,800 and him of deciding to give him the opportunity to 46 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,159 continue to go back out there? 47 00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:19,199 Speaker 5: Yeah, So in the sixth inning, actually in the sixth 48 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,039 we got Zach Cowen up, and so he was going 49 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,840 and basically had anybody got on base in the seventh, 50 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,159 eighth or ninth, he was going in the game like 51 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,599 literally one runner on base, and so in the sixth 52 00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:38,240 the leadoff double, he's going and then literally the inning 53 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:41,520 was over like six pitches later. And then it's like, okay, 54 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,439 we're gonna we're gonna send him back out if we 55 00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:49,000 could shorten the load for Zack. And the seventh, I mean, 56 00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:50,800 he just blew their doors off. I think that was 57 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,639 the inning. Maybe he struck out the side yep. And 58 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,759 then so it's just like, okay, anybody on base, like 59 00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:01,159 he's coming in. And then in the eighth like same 60 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,560 kind of thing, and so and then by the ninth 61 00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:06,680 it was like, okay, if I try to take him 62 00:03:06,719 --> 00:03:09,280 out of the game right now, that he's gonna like 63 00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:14,000 murder me. So and then it was you know, it 64 00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:15,879 was one, two three and that editing. So all the 65 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,479 credits to Kaid excellent performance. We had Zach ready to go. 66 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,439 It's just nobody got on base. And I mean that 67 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,680 game was the definition of getting stronger as you go. 68 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,159 And I'm proud of him for that because you know, 69 00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:30,280 if he asked me, one thing to keep building, you know, 70 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,800 for him to improve, was to increase his durability, and 71 00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:35,840 he's done that as we've gone along in the season. 72 00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 3: Well, it's crazy too because like you look back, I mean, 73 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,599 it's surviving that first inning like he did. He's got 74 00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:44,120 fifty eight pitches through the third. You would have never 75 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,080 guessed what was coming down the tracks. And it's it's 76 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,719 it's it's great to hear that confirmed because I definitely 77 00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:54,719 felt that tightrope that he was on. Right, anybody reaches 78 00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:57,400 and he's out. And the play that I keep thinking 79 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,919 about is that defensive play he made and what essentially 80 00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:04,240 turned into a swinging butt throwing it up to his hand, 81 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,319 firing a fastball over the first I mean, is it 82 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,439 too much to say like that, That's one of the 83 00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:14,560 more athletic and impressive plays I've seen out of a 84 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,560 picture just from a pure defensive perspective. 85 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,759 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, he's such a good athlete. He could 86 00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:21,920 if I let him, he could easily work his way 87 00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:24,720 into our position player mix, I mean as an outfielder 88 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,319 and as a hitter. And yeah, maybe we'll do that 89 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,639 to get him to come back next year. 90 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 7: Coach, you only use five pitchers over the weekend in 91 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,600 a three game sweep, I'm not sure that I've ever 92 00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:43,600 seen that watching college baseball literally ever have you ever 93 00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:45,639 been a part of anything like that where you go 94 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,439 out there you only have to use five arms and 95 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,120 also win every game. 96 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 6: To think. 97 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,519 Speaker 5: So Bill Francis or Sid said, I guess that happened 98 00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:57,079 here in two thousand and five. 99 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:57,639 Speaker 6: Wow. 100 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,399 Speaker 8: So when he said that, I was laughing and I was. 101 00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 5: Like, wow, I was the head coach at point moment, Nazarene. 102 00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 7: And a lot of things have changed great campus. 103 00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah it is. Yeah, a lot of things have changed. 104 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,600 And no, I just tell you how unique that is. 105 00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:18,000 I will tell you after a complete game on Friday 106 00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:21,839 or Game one, that scenario was totally plausible when you 107 00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:24,040 guys Zach in case and you know, on the back 108 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,879 end of the game, I mean, they're essentially like two 109 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,639 more starters. So yeah, yeah, well you get that one 110 00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:32,839 really good performance, then it's for this team. It's you 111 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,120 could see it happening again. It's just really hard to 112 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,800 throw a complete game, which makes what kid did more amazing. 113 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, especially in today's game. But then there's been just 114 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,839 continued growth out of everybody. I mean, einsin Is feels 115 00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:48,120 like someone who just continues to get better. And and 116 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,199 and better on this level. I mean when that breaking 117 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,600 balls hitting like it was last last Friday, it's just 118 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,360 it's it's a sight to behold, and then you look 119 00:05:57,439 --> 00:05:59,040 into it, it's a weird thing where so only five 120 00:05:59,079 --> 00:06:01,199 guys get to pitch on the wen, so you have 121 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,240 to almost look to the midweek to kind of start 122 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,560 to continue to develop guys and get guys who are 123 00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:10,319 going to be relied upon U down the stretch. And 124 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,240 was that part of the logic and kind of switching 125 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,040 up how you approached William Schmidt there getting him in 126 00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:19,639 coming out of the pin in a in a high 127 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,800 leverage situation, closing out that game, Like is that is 128 00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:26,879 that kind of laying track for the for the future there. 129 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,879 Speaker 8: Well, yes and no. 130 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 5: You know, we'll start with Connor Ware Like I think 131 00:06:32,399 --> 00:06:34,639 he's a super important part of our pitching staff, and 132 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,839 he threw one important inning against Mississippi State. He got 133 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,199 a th Reese and Hunter Hinz out. Those guys are 134 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,000 really good hitters, and it kind of got lost because 135 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,600 it was in that seventeen to nine melee game, you 136 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,519 know what I mean? Yeah, that inning was important and 137 00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:53,240 keeping us you know, keeping the game under control and 138 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,519 then we didn't use him in the midweek. I can't 139 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,680 remember why. And then it just didn't work out because 140 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,920 of how this series played out, and it's like, hey, 141 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,519 we got to get this guy on the mound and 142 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,480 get him because he's going to be important in the 143 00:07:06,519 --> 00:07:09,160 week ind this weekend. And then he did a great job, 144 00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:11,079 Like I mean he got three innings on like thirty 145 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,519 six pitches or thirty five pitches or something like that. 146 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,199 So we hit exactly what we wanted to do there. 147 00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:19,399 We wanted to get Jayden Nupack in the ball game, 148 00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:21,639 and I really wanted to get Cooper Williams and Maverick 149 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,399 Rizzy in the game. 150 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,319 Speaker 8: It just kind of. 151 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 5: Worked out the way that it did. And then in 152 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,240 regards to william I mean there's two things going on there, 153 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,639 like we want to keep his pitch count up, you 154 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,839 know for the postseason, you know, if you need that 155 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,079 third fourth starter, you know type thing. And then at 156 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,279 the same time, you're right like it's coming again where 157 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,399 he's in the game in an SEC game. 158 00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:44,759 Speaker 8: At the end of the game and. 159 00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:48,519 Speaker 5: He has the pitches to you know, get strikeouts and 160 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,519 weak contact and all of that. So doing it at 161 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,680 the end of the game, you know, helps that. And 162 00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:56,720 he made an interesting observation of like the first time 163 00:07:56,759 --> 00:07:58,279 in college where up coming to the game where we've 164 00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:02,199 been losing. Yeah, you know, and I know it's amazing, 165 00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:05,920 and you know, he did a great job, did a 166 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,959 great job of handling that situation and it was really 167 00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:13,959 dominant and the dugouts were kind of a different spot 168 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,279 there at Nichols and you're kind of looking us straight out. 169 00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:19,720 I mean, everything was good for him the other night. 170 00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 6: Coach. 171 00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:23,399 Speaker 7: One of the things I love since you've been here 172 00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:26,199 at LSU is you're going out there every time this 173 00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:26,920 team plays. 174 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 4: You want to win MIDWEK game, weekend. It does not matter. 175 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,600 You're going for the victory there. 176 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 7: And we saw that on the road this week and 177 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,000 the midweek game against an end state opponent. But I 178 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,120 got to ask you, did you ever think that a 179 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,639 rally would get started after bar Jones was waiting outside 180 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,519 of the porta potty and it became a rally potty 181 00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:48,120 And now everybody's talking about the viral picture of him 182 00:08:48,159 --> 00:08:50,559 fully uniformed up with the helmet on, ready to go 183 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,240 to the restroom. 184 00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:56,039 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what was great about that the Nichols fans. 185 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,240 I'm probably sure as soon as they saw him standing 186 00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:03,399 out there, we're like, no, go ahead, Jared ahead, yea, 187 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,879 over that guy, you know what he needs to get 188 00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:09,799 done outside the port. Yeah, that was that was quite 189 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,720 a scene. I told coach harry A, We're gonna have 190 00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:12,759 to get that a little closer. 191 00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 3: The dugout. 192 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,039 Speaker 4: Hey, he can't fit in. 193 00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 6: I don't even know how that's possible. 194 00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 5: Look, he answered, more classic, he's wearing his helmet. 195 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 4: That's the picture. 196 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 3: I mean, it does answer the age old question does 197 00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:29,039 a bear crap in the woods? 198 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,399 Speaker 4: Apparently he does, just in a. 199 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 6: Coach. 200 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 3: Another thing before we look forward is look this lineup 201 00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:43,200 right now in terms of quality at bats one through nine. 202 00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:50,080 Everybody's so disciplined, working counts, not striking out. It's really impressive. 203 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,799 I mean, I even think back to last Thursday where 204 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,840 I thought there was a wonderful kind of mirror image 205 00:09:55,879 --> 00:09:59,159 where the top of the lineup combines to create one 206 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,559 of the runs, a bo them of the lineup combines 207 00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:03,320 to create the others. So this is all to say 208 00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:08,240 the lineup is the offense is absolutely locked in right now, 209 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,639 and and and and There's been a few situations though 210 00:10:12,759 --> 00:10:15,480 where like it seems like you're almost putting your thumb 211 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,200 on the scale, uh to to practice some manufacturing of runs. 212 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,519 And maybe practice isn't fair, right, because even to get 213 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:23,679 zigles the other night, you want to you want to 214 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,679 go ahead and ensure that you're adding a run. But 215 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,919 when you have guys that can hit it so well, 216 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,519 get on base so much, sometimes people see these butt 217 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,639 players are like, oh, what's going on there? But do 218 00:10:34,759 --> 00:10:37,679 you feel that, like you're so complete everywhere else that 219 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,399 you also want that portion of the game to be 220 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,960 available when it matters down the stretch here and on 221 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:43,480 the weekends. 222 00:10:44,759 --> 00:10:48,039 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think really it's just about making sure first off, 223 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,440 you're trying to win the game, and yeah, with that rally, 224 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,639 and then you know that the that play is actually 225 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,240 designed to score two runs and if the bunt goes down, 226 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,200 we score two runs on the play and the game's 227 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,960 over over at that point, and that's always the first priority. 228 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:03,879 Speaker 8: You know. 229 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 5: Secondly, Jake is a good bunner. He did not get 230 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,840 that one down, and you know that's part of it, 231 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,600 you know, executing executing the play. But really the root 232 00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,879 of it is, it doesn't matter what the conditions are. 233 00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:19,559 Night game day game win, blowing the wind, blowing out 234 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,159 small field, big field, all of those things. We want 235 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,919 to be, you know, prepared to win. I mean I 236 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,879 think you know, it can get lost in like twenty three. 237 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,799 Like obviously everybody knows Trey Morgan was able to defend 238 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,080 the bun, you know, that's part of it. Then in 239 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,120 the elimination game against Tennessee, we're only up one zero. 240 00:11:38,799 --> 00:11:42,320 You know, Gavin Dugas is, you know, hits eighteen homers. 241 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,240 He lays down a perfect drag bunt with you know, 242 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,399 Morgan on second and they throw it away and now 243 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,679 it's two zero, you know, two run leads. So it's 244 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,759 always kind of been a part of like what we do. 245 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,279 We just missed that one, and you know, we just 246 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,840 we want to be able to win any type of game. 247 00:11:57,879 --> 00:12:00,240 That's really all it comes down to, coach. 248 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 7: Obviously, the transfer portal is a great deal. It's been 249 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,799 great for Lshue baseball, shoe football. But I think there's 250 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,679 a story on your team somebody that didn't go in 251 00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:10,080 the portal, that sat around and waited his turn. That's 252 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,759 Ethan Frye, who is playing really really well right now, 253 00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:16,879 had a big night down there. In Thibodeau on Tuesday night. 254 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,360 Continues to just play baseball the right way. Love watching 255 00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:21,679 him get out of the box. He hits it on 256 00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:23,960 the ground, he's trying to beat out everything, just plays 257 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,639 the game. It feels like the right way and very easily. 258 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,720 Could somebody like him have gone in the portal, tried 259 00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:30,279 to go somewhere else. He's a hell of a player, 260 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,399 would have played somewhere else, but he waited his turn 261 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,000 here at LSU. So as good as the portal is, 262 00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:36,919 and it's been good to all of us sitting here. 263 00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:39,840 How cool is it to see him stick around wait 264 00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:42,120 for his turn, and then once he gets his opportunity, 265 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,159 play as well as he has. 266 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's awesome. And if you know Ethan, 267 00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:50,000 it's not a surprise. Like the guys, like the highest 268 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,879 character guy you could have on a team, and very 269 00:12:53,039 --> 00:12:56,639 mature for whatever. He is twenty one years old and 270 00:12:57,799 --> 00:12:59,840 you know the only reason he didn't play the fresh 271 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,399 he's on like one of the top five teams of 272 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,519 all time. I mean, he helped right there with those 273 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,679 guys like in inner squads, and I want to say 274 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,360 I gave him a start or two like early in 275 00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:14,039 the season in a midweek and really believed he was 276 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,480 going to be a good player. You know, last year, 277 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,039 you know, roster wise, just post draft, like we were 278 00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:22,240 just a little too right handed, so he was kind 279 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,720 of in and out at the beginning, and then he 280 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,080 right when I was about ready to turn him loose, 281 00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:28,279 kind of like we had this year, he got hurt 282 00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:32,559 and that really limited our ability to set the lineup 283 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,519 properly with the pieces. But to Ethan's credit, he toughed 284 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,399 it out. Man that edged shoulder surgery after the season, 285 00:13:40,159 --> 00:13:44,480 and so he played all of last year essentially from 286 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,759 conference play on with a shoulder that needed a repair. 287 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,919 Speaker 8: And then this year, like he. 288 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 5: Just kind of stayed with it, didn't maybe have the 289 00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:56,879 best like lead up into the season it he normally has. 290 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,080 So it was kind of like in and out. But 291 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,279 I've always believed it, and I was like, hey, man, 292 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,720 you're playing its lefties. Keep going, your role is going 293 00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:06,960 to expand, And that's exactly what's happened. And it just 294 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,120 is a great human being on top of you know, 295 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,720 in my opinion, one of our best players. 296 00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. 297 00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean, look, you know, you get opportunity, 298 00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:15,600 you make most of it. You create more opportunity. He's 299 00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:18,960 doing that right now, Coach. One of the fun quirts 300 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,720 about this weekend against staying on the road, feels like 301 00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:24,519 this is a very extended road trip. But heading over 302 00:14:24,559 --> 00:14:27,600 to Auburn and Friday night going to be Kate Anderson 303 00:14:27,679 --> 00:14:32,159 versus Sam Dutton. Kind of kind of interesting there, right, 304 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,960 A a a former ally now on the other side, 305 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,840 what do you think that's going to be like lining 306 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,320 up across from Dutton? 307 00:14:40,639 --> 00:14:44,039 Speaker 5: You know, we've actually had guys on teams that we've 308 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,200 played that were here last year, but they didn't really 309 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,799 play Like this is the first time. Well, I guess 310 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,679 at Louisiana Tech Debordel he homered against. 311 00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, a couple of Yeah, that's right. 312 00:14:56,799 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 5: So like this is like the sixth time. I mean, 313 00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:01,840 maybe this one may seem like a little bit more 314 00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:05,159 because he's started pitcher on the weekend. Like I love Sam. 315 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,039 He's a national champion, a very good competitor, throws a 316 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,240 ton of strike and you know, he had some life 317 00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:15,320 situations too, like he I believe he just got married 318 00:15:15,399 --> 00:15:16,960 or he's going to get to one. 319 00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 8: Of the two. 320 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,639 Speaker 5: His brother I believe is on the team at Auburn. 321 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,279 He was coaching first base in the game the other night, 322 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,080 so I think there was some like family dynamics getting 323 00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:31,519 back home, kind of getting his life started, you know. Yeah, 324 00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:35,039 probably wanted a bigger role or role he thought he 325 00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:37,600 might have a better chance getting He's had a great season. 326 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,360 He's changed a little bit of his pitch mix a 327 00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:42,480 little bit, which I kind of watched for the first 328 00:15:42,519 --> 00:15:46,480 time last night. But you know, you'll never hear me 329 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,720 say anything bad about Sam Dutton, Like I said, National champion, 330 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,639 good teammate, and you know, not Friday, but every other day. 331 00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:55,679 I hope he's successful. 332 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,799 Speaker 3: So coach, hitting the road again to Auburn this weekend. 333 00:16:02,159 --> 00:16:04,879 Y'all been very very good on the road. You've been 334 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,039 very good I guess everywhere thus far this year to 335 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,360 be fair. But but are you are you looking forward 336 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,799 to to getting back home after this weekend? 337 00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean I always love playing here, there's no 338 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,440 doubt about that. I think what I've learned, you know, 339 00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:24,919 over my career and definitely in the SEC, is you 340 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,039 can't look at all the games. You have to look 341 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,200 at these games. And I really haven't even let my 342 00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:32,399 mind go to, hey. 343 00:16:32,279 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 8: What's next? 344 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, this weekend and I know, super boring. 345 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:37,519 Speaker 3: I do know. 346 00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:41,399 Speaker 5: We have an extended kind of home stands coming up, yeah, 347 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,399 which I'm happy about. You know, the two in a 348 00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:46,399 row thing is a good challenge, but you know, with 349 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,159 these guys, it hasn't mattered. Are we playing at midnight? 350 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,399 Is it twenty eight degrees of twenty five out a 351 00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:54,840 mile hour winds? I mean, are we running down the 352 00:16:54,919 --> 00:16:56,840 line to the porta potti in the middle of the inning? 353 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,240 I mean, they just kind of stay with it matter what. 354 00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:03,679 Speaker 3: There you go, Coach J Johnson hitting the road to 355 00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:06,519 take on Auburn this week in. Auburn's are very good 356 00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:08,920 at home thus far this year, but this Tiger team 357 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,960 has been very good as well.

I'm grilling a large sirloin and ribbi this afternoon, chef, 415 00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:21,920 Can you give me any new tips to amp up 416 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,079 my steak grilling? 417 00:20:24,039 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, like if you're using a I don 418 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,559 remember I used to. I used to with the owner. 419 00:20:28,839 --> 00:20:30,519 I used to work at Policts and it turned into 420 00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:34,000 Primo's Steakhouse, and the owners would come in and they 421 00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:37,640 would order forty ounce steaks. Good god, you know, Like 422 00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:40,039 I mean, I don't know if you can envision what 423 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,359 that looks like, but it's basically you know, like uh, 424 00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:46,279 I don't know, six inches by six inches by like 425 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,720 eight or twelve inches, you know, like it is a 426 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,920 hunk of meat, and so that that you know, like 427 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,519 you can't put that over a high high heat and 428 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,279 expect the inside of it to cook evenly as the 429 00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:03,000 outside does, you know. And so uh and and one 430 00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:05,559 of my favorite days that I've ever had, like I 431 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,799 took the center cut of a of a of a striplin, 432 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,319 took the ends off of it, you know, and basically 433 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,400 took the barrel and trust it up into something kind 434 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,200 of similar and it was probably eighty ounce. It was 435 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,440 probably double that size and grilled, grilled it over an 436 00:21:19,519 --> 00:21:22,319 open fire, and it takes a lot of finesse, you know, 437 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,039 like you you don't want to cook over directly over 438 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,440 the heat, you know, you you gotta you gotta pull 439 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,559 it off a direct heat and give it indirect heat 440 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,880 and take your time with it right so you're you know, 441 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,200 it's almost like roasting it in an oven versus grilling it. Now, 442 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,039 if you're just talking about a big thick you know, 443 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,759 like two or three fingers thick ribbi, you know, still 444 00:21:43,319 --> 00:21:44,880 you're gonna want to turn the heat down a little 445 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,480 bit because unless you're wanting it rare black and blue 446 00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:50,599 or Pittsburgh stal or whatever. You know, you gotta you 447 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,039 gotta back the heat down a little bit. And the 448 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,359 rule of thumb for like uh uh, that's what steak 449 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,319 when grilling is. I put it, you know, like the 450 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,960 average steak if you go to buy the if you 451 00:22:03,039 --> 00:22:05,559 go to the store and buy a stripline or a ravi, 452 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,559 I grill it for like two minutes a time, two 453 00:22:08,599 --> 00:22:11,559 minutes at a time and turn it over two minutes 454 00:22:11,599 --> 00:22:14,680 on that side and then turn it over again and 455 00:22:14,759 --> 00:22:16,640 put your hash marks on it. You know, you kind 456 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,759 of turn it caddy caddy wampus or diagonal. And one 457 00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:22,680 of the one of the big mistakes that most people 458 00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:25,440 do is they'll put a steak on the grill and 459 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,319 you know, like put the mark side down markets and 460 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,880 then turn it what I mean is rotated, you know, 461 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,480 and and cook that side for ano for too long. 462 00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:36,920 And what happens is when you turn that stake over, 463 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,799 it it like it kind of uh, it tenses up 464 00:22:41,839 --> 00:22:44,640 to the point where it wraps up like a baseball glove, 465 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,400 you know. And so you want to turn your steak 466 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,359 over every two minutes. And what that does is allows 467 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,160 the cooking side to kind of relax and cool while 468 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,759 the other while the cool side, it's kind of like 469 00:22:55,799 --> 00:22:58,319 turning your pillow over, right, you know, like the cREL 470 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,640 side of the same thing. You know, like you're you're 471 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,759 wanting to turn the side that was on the grill 472 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,920 over so that it's cooling and relaxing a little bit, 473 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,039 and put the cool side down so that it's beginning 474 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,119 to cook. And then you know, next time you turn 475 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,079 it over, you want to you want to turn it over, 476 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,720 but you want to turn it diagonal so you can 477 00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:17,440 get those those perfect diamonds on there. 478 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 3: Right, Chef, I love this question for Bobby Nikens. He 479 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,079 says hashtag munchies. How much of chef's job is administration 480 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,000 versus actually cooking? 481 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 8: Oh god, it's I mean it, I mean ninety nine percent. 482 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,440 I don't really cook as much too much anymore, to 483 00:23:35,519 --> 00:23:37,799 be honest with you. You know, like I deal with people, 484 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,880 I deal with administration, I deal with vendors, I deal 485 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,839 with athletes. You know, like at this point in my career, 486 00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:46,920 you know, it's more of it. It is more of 487 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,319 a director's role of you know, I'm teaching. I'm teaching 488 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,079 chefs how to become chefs. Yeah, and you know, like 489 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,519 I have a chef underneath me that you know obviously 490 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,480 he wants my job, you know what I mean, Like, 491 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,599 I mean, everybody does, right, and so you're trying to 492 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,799 you're trying to teach those people how to become how 493 00:24:03,839 --> 00:24:05,920 to get to where you are, right and so, uh, 494 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,680 I mean it's a pretty significant task. I mean if 495 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,200 there's between vendors and you know, like I also do 496 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,880 what I call uh you know, like kind of like 497 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,839 mister mister Robinson or uh, she forgets the name of 498 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,359 the show, but Robin Robins' neighborhood or whatever. 499 00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:25,839 Speaker 4: Y yeah, yeah, Rogers, rogersigh mitge Rogers. 500 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,599 Speaker 8: There you go. So, you know, like I go out 501 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,559 to the people that I do business with, and and 502 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,599 it's kind of a nose in, hands out approach of 503 00:24:32,039 --> 00:24:33,759 you know, seeing and knowing what they do so that 504 00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:35,720 I feel good about the people that I'm doing business 505 00:24:35,759 --> 00:24:37,920 with because I like to I like to do business 506 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,319 with sustainable people. So it's not just work in the kitchen. 507 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,480 It's working in the environment, it's working in the community. 508 00:24:43,559 --> 00:24:46,240 It's worked with athletes, you know. And I work for 509 00:24:46,319 --> 00:24:49,440 two different businesses too, both both L s U and Chartwells, 510 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,359 and so you know, like there's a lot there's a 511 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,039 lot of correspondence that goes on there between two companies 512 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,200 of trying to manage you know, the motivations of both companies. 513 00:24:58,279 --> 00:25:02,119 So it is it's a lot of brain work, right 514 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,960 and and a lot less physical cooking. And it's definitely 515 00:25:06,079 --> 00:25:09,160 you know, like there's days where I am like the 516 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,920 hell with this. I'm going in the kitchen and I'm 517 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,559 cooking because you know what I mean, Like, yeah, right, 518 00:25:14,759 --> 00:25:15,160 I mean you. 519 00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:18,079 Speaker 3: Enter as a chef, you exit as a as a CEO. 520 00:25:18,599 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 4: It's a weird thing. 521 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, And that's kind of why, you know, like I 522 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,599 insist on cooking for my kids and my family because 523 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,359 that's that's the time and the opportunity that I get 524 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,079 to cook for people and show them. And don't get 525 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,200 me wrong, there's definitely times where I cook here, you know, like, 526 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,359 and it's in the key moments where it matters the most. 527 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,319 But on a day to day basis, if I'm doing 528 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,799 the cooking, I'm not doing the teaching, right, And the 529 00:25:43,079 --> 00:25:45,839 teaching part it's not one it's not a one man show. 530 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,680 It's a team. It's a team effort. And so you know, like, 531 00:25:48,799 --> 00:25:51,680 I'm not taking I'm not taking credit for the entire kitchen. 532 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,480 I give credit to my team and what they're accomplishing 533 00:25:54,559 --> 00:25:57,680 and want to see them flourish and growing chefs is 534 00:25:57,759 --> 00:25:59,440 just as important to me as being a chef. 535 00:26:00,839 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 4: Hashtag munchies. What belongs in a proper cheese steak? 536 00:26:05,599 --> 00:26:05,759 Speaker 5: Oh? 537 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 8: Man, Well, I do like onions. I'm not too fond 538 00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:14,079 of bell peppers. Really, no, not on a cheese steak, man, 539 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,279 you know, like I like bell peppers sweat down when 540 00:26:17,319 --> 00:26:20,079 they get soggy and mushy. Now I would I could 541 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,240 put like a fresh slice of chili or a jalapeno 542 00:26:23,319 --> 00:26:25,640 on there, what you know, if it's fresh, But I don't. 543 00:26:25,759 --> 00:26:27,920 I don't like bell peppers cooked down to where there's 544 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,000 soft and mushy on a cheese steak. I do like 545 00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:34,079 spicy peppers, like a chili on theo though, definitely like 546 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,079 some sweet bidelia onions or something of that nature, sweat 547 00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:42,759 caramelized onions in there. Man, I got me the cheese 548 00:26:42,799 --> 00:26:45,279 sauces where it's that like, I like a white cheese 549 00:26:45,319 --> 00:26:49,119 sauce in it, and you know, you gotta have something 550 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,680 to stick in there. I like a pickle, like like 551 00:26:53,319 --> 00:26:55,839 with with my cheese steak. Is the fat, the fat 552 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,960 from the beef and the fat, you know, like the 553 00:26:58,039 --> 00:27:00,519 thick coating from the cheese. You know, you you need 554 00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:03,119 something to cut through that. And the bread has to 555 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,920 be perfect too, right, Like you gotta have a bread 556 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,640 that will substantiate that the all the grease and the 557 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,359 cheese and the yes oos an out, you know, like 558 00:27:11,599 --> 00:27:14,599 a nice French batard. Something that's gonna absorb but still 559 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:15,200 hold together. 560 00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, it has to. 561 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. Maintaining bread integrity. Yeah, oh the key to any 562 00:27:21,279 --> 00:27:25,079 sandwich or burger. Nothing's worth than when you have have 563 00:27:25,319 --> 00:27:30,319 the bread breaking apart. Actually awful. Yeah, hassag munchies. It's 564 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,119 already seasoned and marinated. But I'm about to hang some 565 00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:38,279 venison for he says Bill Tong. I don't know if 566 00:27:38,279 --> 00:27:40,960 it is that right. I'm about to hang some venezon 567 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,759 for Biltong. Any additional advice or experience. 568 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,759 Speaker 8: I think Billtong is like a like an African style 569 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:49,920 jerky or something about. 570 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah that makes sense if you're talking about seeing 571 00:27:51,759 --> 00:27:52,440 a man hanging it. 572 00:27:52,599 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. I you know, like I'm not 573 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,640 super experienced at it. To be honest with you, I 574 00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:02,640 used to make turkey with my old man back in 575 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,240 the day. I would just say, you know, take your 576 00:28:05,319 --> 00:28:08,799 time with it. I also, you know, for me, it 577 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,079 starts with the cut, you know, like which cut it is, 578 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,599 making sure there's a little fattiness in there. Still, if 579 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,759 you used to lean of a cut, I think that it. 580 00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:19,119 You know, it just gets a little too tough for me. 581 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,039 And I'm not super I'm not super experienced with the 582 00:28:23,079 --> 00:28:27,119 actual flavors of of that particular process. But I believe 583 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,039 that's what he's talking about. 584 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 4: Chef. Obviously, the Master's going on right now. 585 00:28:32,079 --> 00:28:33,599 Speaker 7: A lot of us talked about, you know, what we 586 00:28:33,759 --> 00:28:36,279 have on our master's menu, if we did, in fact 587 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,680 win the masters. If you were making your own menu, 588 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,160 would you do it with things like only you enjoy? 589 00:28:42,279 --> 00:28:44,359 Would you go with a theme? Because we all did 590 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,799 it a little bit differently, how would you set up 591 00:28:46,839 --> 00:28:47,759 your master's menu? 592 00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:50,279 Speaker 8: Yes, that's an interesting question, Jake. You know when we 593 00:28:50,359 --> 00:28:52,200 talked about this the other day, we didn't talk about 594 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,559 who was going to be sitting at the table with me, right, Yeah, 595 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,599 I think that's important, you know, I mean, it really is. 596 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,839 If it's just for me and I'm scourging and I'm 597 00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:02,160 to be a glutton, you know that that that menu 598 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,279 is gonna look a little bit different than right. But 599 00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:06,000 you know, me and a bunch of friends, and I 600 00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:09,000 know that they don't like as Cargo or Fatty Petty's 601 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,960 faul Roth, you know, like, because I just like food 602 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,240 and and I can enjoy any kind of food in company, 603 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,480 you know, So I think that the company is almost 604 00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:21,839 equally as important as the food. In in some circumstances 605 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,680 and the conversation, you know, like I it's just one 606 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,640 of those moments in life that you really enjoy sharing, 607 00:29:28,359 --> 00:29:31,920 you know, like the glory of the wind. And I 608 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,359 think there's also something to be said about being selfless 609 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,359 with it, you know, like I'm not a glory hound. 610 00:29:36,519 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 5: You know. 611 00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:39,519 Speaker 8: Having the talent to win is wonderful, but you know, 612 00:29:39,799 --> 00:29:41,799 I think that there's something also to be said about 613 00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:44,440 being humble and you know, sharing them, sharing that that 614 00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:46,839 winner's meal doesn't have to be about you. It could 615 00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:48,759 be about the people that you're that you're eating it with. 616 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,039 So I think the menu is is kind of in 617 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,000 context with who you're sitting with. 618 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 3: Hashtag munchies. Manny wants to know your take on a 619 00:29:57,759 --> 00:30:00,240 pimento cheese sandwich as it is. 620 00:30:01,519 --> 00:30:03,559 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I could eat one, you know, like 621 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,960 I feel like it needs to be toasted with lots 622 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,359 of butter, you know, and and there's that cheese has 623 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,279 to because pimento cheese if it's you know, like if 624 00:30:14,279 --> 00:30:15,759 you're putting cheddar in it, or if it has a 625 00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:18,359 lot of cheddar in it, it gets oily. You got 626 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,319 to catch it at just the right temperature, because if 627 00:30:20,359 --> 00:30:23,359 it gets too melted, it's just it turns to like 628 00:30:23,839 --> 00:30:28,880 mealy uh, you know, like unappetizing kind of a texture. 629 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,799 But if you're taking the cheese and you're just warming it, 630 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,000 just so like put your bread down, lots of butter 631 00:30:35,119 --> 00:30:38,799 on the side, brown that side and with the raw 632 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,079 side up, you know, like you want to both sides 633 00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:43,680 butter and when the when the toasted side comes up, 634 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,359 that's when you go on with the pimento cheese spread, 635 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,039 so it's kind of warming and then push them together. 636 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:50,920 But you don't want to I don't.
