Speaker 1: Let's I'll start to you to presents. Off the bench
with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert. Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, Off the bench with Jacob Hester and Bob
aber I gotta come off the bench. Now, here's Jacob
Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yeah what's he name?
Speaker 3: Once more into the fray, into the last good show
I'll ever do, to live and take on this day,
to live and take on this day.
Speaker 2: I'm T Bob Abert, He's Jake Kester. She's a lone
Villarealis delahopa and uh, we got a big day planned
for you today. Uh as it is, Uh it is.
You know, this is the last day of an era
of O.
Speaker 4: TB.
Speaker 2: As we said, But the ship of theseus will l
sale on, but this will be my last day here
on these wonderful airwaves that I've loved so deeply for
so many years. I just did a hit with Brain
and uh and Talk and Brian how Name.
Speaker 4: And I was called Brain.
Speaker 2: Because when I started doing radio here in twenty thirteen,
and I was supposed to be selling ads as well,
but I was just getting high and playing basketball all
day and lying straight up to my boss's Cindy at
the time to call her and me be like, yeah,
I'm in Gonzales beating the street. I was in lake
Beat pre playing twenty one, but.
Speaker 4: Is due we used to, Uh, I like that you
pick Gonzalez, I mean Gonzales, can't I can't check on
me there, dude.
Speaker 2: I'm pounding the pavement right knocking on doors, seeing who
wants to add times for some radio little rollingdu set
swamp pop on the weekends.
Speaker 4: Babe.
Speaker 2: God, there's some funny memories with the sales job that
I really didn't do.
Speaker 4: Ever.
Speaker 2: They made me co collect money a couple of times,
which is very funny because it was like like this
one guy that went to pay her Moranda driving an
hour out there and basically like, hey, where's the money,
Like give me Like I was like yeah, and he
was kind of mad, but I was like, you gotta
give me that check, all right? And then and then
it was very funny. I had to press them a
little bit. But but.
Speaker 4: Where's it going with this? Oh?
Speaker 2: So at the time that I was not doing the
sales job that I was supposed to do.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: The only reason I've agreed to that in the first
place is because they were letting me in Jordan do
Monday and Thursday nights five to seven pm.
Speaker 4: Uh. And that was the original off the Bench.
Speaker 5: That's what it was called. That was where the show
name started.
Speaker 2: And we were doing for my kias and for Varsity
one time recuper Varsity. I'll never forget one time of Varsity.
We wrapped up the show and they were like, hey,
do you want to go back stage to this concert?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Some guy Kendrick Lamar. I'm pretty tired, and I went home.
Talk about a bag fumble.
Speaker 4: So dumb.
Speaker 2: Anyway, like a year later, I was obsessed with the
recipe and all that tuff. But anyway, on that show,
Brian Haldane was called the Brain and he was our
fantasy football expert because this is still the time when
I thought that every show had to have like a
fantasy segment.
Speaker 4: Yes, so we would.
Speaker 2: We would do sits and starts, draft stuff, all with
Brian Haldane, aka the Brain of Fantasy Football.
Speaker 4: I didn't even realize that's where the nickname came from.
I just I don't know if that is. That's that's
how I that's how I knew it.
Speaker 6: Sometimes a phone, actually I spelled brain that I just
always that.
Speaker 2: That is how I was introduced to him.
Speaker 4: Was as brain man. I'm calling him Bryan Brain. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6: So I can tell you sometimes, like when it's kind
of like our good friend Brandon Hurley Bull It's bull Hurley. Yeah,
I can tell, like you know, he's around certain people.
He's around you know, business professionals. Yes, yes, Brandon, No
your bull that.
Speaker 2: Even though if you're finance guy bull top to your
name thought. You know what I'm saying, bull market's only, baby,
Let's go bull vestments only. Uh, Taylor, are you better
at fantasy football than the Brain?
Speaker 5: I mean probably? Oh yeah, let's go.
Speaker 7: All I know is last football season, Brian would have
a guest on once a week to give fantasy football
advice to him.
Speaker 4: And who was it? That would be me?
Speaker 2: Look at that, dude, No way. So here we have
come full circle. Brain, one of the earliest contributors on
this show ever talking fantasy football, and now you such
a key contributor here in these last couple of years.
Now you going on Brain Show talking fantasy football.
Speaker 3: He doesn't.
Speaker 7: He does it different. They do like the you have
to like bid for it or whatever. You know I'm
talking about like some people do that.
Speaker 2: We do auction draft draft. That was very fun.
Speaker 4: Left his brain because he was like, you know, you
bid on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So like Brian probably killed me in an auction draft
because I've never done that, but.
Speaker 6: That's a that's the best way. So when I used
to play, that's what we did. I think there's a
bit more skill involved.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 7: See I'm the type of guy that be like, I
want this player, I'm gonna spend all my money on
this guy, and I'm.
Speaker 5: Like, crap.
Speaker 2: I can always amass a pretty good team through the
auction draft, but it's the actually carrying during the season
that always sinks me.
Speaker 7: But you know what, two years ago we did that
fantasy football draft. People got mad at you because you
didn't participate as much, but you told us ahead of time.
Speaker 2: I have There have been few things in my life
I've been more honest with than telling people you do
not want me in.
Speaker 4: This fantasy football league.
Speaker 2: I will ruin the league. I do it every year.
I get in trouble every year. I had to pay
multiple fines last year because when we were drunk, my
friends convinced me to play one more season. Then every
time I started a player that didn't play that was
like a twenty dollars fine. I ended up racking up
I think like a couple hundred dollars in fines by the.
Speaker 4: End of the year. I hate it.
Speaker 5: You were the Draymond of your fantasy league.
Speaker 2: And I'm probably I mean, I say, I'm not going
to play again, and they're probably going to force me back.
I mean, I guess I've been in this league like
ten years or whatd have never won. It never even
gotten close. Well, the best part was when we were
doing the draft. You know they have that little chat
in the corner. Yeah, he Bob's like talking crap.
Speaker 7: To us, telling us how good his team is, and
then by week three he completely abandoned it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun in the moment TOFT draft day. Trash
talk is always fun when it comes to fantas. We'll
say a fun person fantasy draft would be the dream.
Speaker 7: The funnest part of AFT fantasy is the draft. After that,
you're just like, Eh.
Speaker 4: They're probably gonna like do they make you think barstool?
Speaker 8: Like?
Speaker 2: Are they big fantasy football? I would almost do that guarantee.
I'm probably gonna have to be involved in something fantasy football. Literally,
do they know the only fantasy football I care about
is blood Ball, the one with Orcs and elves and dwarves.
They actually probably know that, Yeah they do, Yeah, I know.
It's very funny. Every time they've explained the higher on air,
they've been like, he's like a sports guy, but like
he's also like a dark you know, he looks Star Wars.
That's the entire pitch behind hire me. It's like, you know,
like football, but like you look Star Wars, which granted guys, guys,
guys and.
Speaker 4: Or Oh my god, I finished.
Speaker 2: I stayed up and finished last night till about eleven thirty.
Speaker 4: I couldn't sleep.
Speaker 2: I'm so I'm such a weird headspace about today that
I just I think I sapped like two hours. Maybe
it forced myself to the gym to try to get
some some good vibes going. But but and or, I mean,
unreal what Gilroy and the team accomplished with this television
show on a purely functional level. The amount of depth
and context that they have added to a new hope
that original Star Wars movie that came out in seventy
seven is insane. But like that's kind of cold right,
just saying like, well they've hatter like history. Anybody can
do that, but to not only add it, but having
to be so high quality and so emotional, so well
executed the show itself. It's created characters and headline by
casting handor but it's creating characters that are now in
like my top five Star Wars Characters of all time lists.
Speaker 4: Like that's how good the show is.
Speaker 5: Who were you on the phone way of yesterday about that?
Speaker 4: I'm sitting at the.
Speaker 7: Desksk I leans to say it's about noon, t bumps
walking by?
Speaker 4: What's up?
Speaker 8: Bro?
Speaker 4: Dude?
Speaker 8: And door?
Speaker 7: Episode fifteen, God walks in the bathroom and I'm like,
what the he?
Speaker 8: I mean?
Speaker 2: Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve were just a string of
mind blowing bangers. Mind blowing bangers. But that's my guy,
Jesse Jetpack. We used to host the four Mandalor podcast
together back in the day. That was actually kind of
like it was getting big there for a minute, and
then life got in the way. We end up stopping it.
But yeah, we talk all things.
Speaker 5: Then.
Speaker 4: He's a true low master. My man.
Speaker 6: Jet Pack's probably a little nervous about softball right now.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, oh yeah, he's a big softball supporter. Group
of Death coming up this weekend. But hey, they got
to play the Tigers.
Speaker 4: Very fair. You know, I hadn't heard that yet.
Speaker 2: You know, they got tigers, So ladies go beat their ass.
Elandra I remember, have you ever even seen a single
Star Wars movie?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I've seen all of them. You've seen all of them,
not the newer ones. I think the newer ones that
I've seen was just the first one.
Speaker 4: With Yeah, anything for you.
Speaker 8: Yeah, No, I haven't seen any of the newer ones,
but I've seen all the old ones. My dad's Star
Wars fan, so I've sat there and watched every single
one of them with him.
Speaker 2: And Dad's a man of culture in class. I've always
said that he runs the finest bar in San Antonio.
That's kidding, Austin, But yeah, how about that game, dud.
Speaking of things that are the inverse of and Or,
Look if and Or was a nine to five out
of ten a plus TV show through two seasons, and
I will take with me forever. If Andor is entering
writing quality heretofore unseen in the Star Wars universe.
Speaker 4: Last night's game is the complete opposite. It's Actolyte.
Speaker 2: It's awful, what far I mean, and in every single aspect,
not just in the ending in which it's a wild
pitch it ends up getting away that puts across the
winning run. The fact that you were two outs away
but you gave up a home run in the in
the bottom of the night to tie it up to
begin with, Like not after the really hard fought first
strikeout of the inning too, but not even just the inning.
I knew that game was screwed. And I was at
a wedding recital, so or not a wedding. I was
at a dancer site, my daughter's dancer title and for
most of the game, so I was kind of having
to check my phone. I knew the vibes were off well.
First off, there were like ten people there, so really
hard to get juice Thursday night. But I knew it
was gonna be bad. When it was three to three
and you had six hits and they had won, then
that was that was okay. It's one of those days,
like that's the sort of math that when you see
that math, you know it's not you're you're you're playing
with fire like you are, you are probably going to
screw that up and lose to a team that's not
as good as you and and look and it just
reinforces all of your road insecurities. And guess what you're
asked gonna be on the road A good chance if
you make it the Supers unless you win these next two.
So no margin of error now for the Tigers over
the next two days.
Speaker 4: Yeah, very sleepy game.
Speaker 6: As we were talking about leading with the show, I
mean just not a lot of people there, not a
lot of juice on the broadcast, not a lot of
juice in the dugouts and the stands anywhere. It's like
when you have a game like that and you're supposed
to win, it typically goes in favor of the other team.
Speaker 4: Gosh, and you.
Speaker 6: You felt like you fought and scratched and you clawed
your way to a lead and it wasn't pretty, but
you were going to at least walk away victorious. And
then you know that Cowan comes in, didn't have this
best stuff you've got, you know, the home run and
then you've got the triple where it was like it
was a pop fly, but it's been a tough play
and a guy that if for a.
Speaker 2: Few minutes after the home runs. I got so mad.
So I missed the triples, so it should have been caught.
Speaker 4: I don't know what do you offer? I mean it
landed in play.
Speaker 2: I turned off. I turned off the game for like
five minutes, like was angry. Yeah, and then I was like, okay,
I'm gonna check that in because this is exciting. But
I missed the triple.
Speaker 7: I think it would be a big time catch. But
on this level, to catch you have to make.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know what's lost.
Speaker 2: Actually, speaking of big time catches, Bear Jones's play.
Speaker 4: That should get over.
Speaker 2: That should have been the game when he'd hit right there.
Speaker 8: He is incredibly athletic for how big he is, Like
that was an athletic.
Speaker 2: Move to make.
Speaker 4: No, that was wild.
Speaker 2: He's so bottom heavy.
Speaker 4: He is so bottom heavy.
Speaker 5: Did you'll see uh, did you'll see Paul catch?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Well, and there he thought it was over.
Speaker 7: They show a replay of and he's celebrating and he
has his hand up and he sees Bar catch it.
Speaker 4: He just goes.
Speaker 2: That is one thing I miss or Paul's upset reactions
because JA twenty four to seven, Paul used to wear
it on his sleeve a little bit he's a little
more honest than how he's feeling.
Speaker 6: He was a big take his hat off, yeah, wipe
the front of his forehead.
Speaker 8: Guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah night. Wait, what was.
Speaker 8: The question if he should have made the catch?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it is what it is. He lost
track of the ball. I mean, like, the thing that
I take more issue with is all the walks. That's
what got you in the position that you're in now.
Like that triple really wouldn't have mattered if you didn't
walk three batters back to back to back and have
them score the tying run back in what the second third?
Speaker 2: And unfortunately we did talk about you know, outside of
your core four Yeah, or you want to say that
is the single biggest problem with this team.
Speaker 3: And it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you got your best guys the next two days,
so that's good. But like, I just don't love I
don't I don't love starting connor Ware there, I never
have and I don't.
Speaker 2: New dig good right, okay, and then did pretty good.
Speaker 8: That held it down. But it's like, you can't walk
three batters back to back to back and hit.
Speaker 2: One who walk to three?
Speaker 7: Listen to this one in four walks for Connorware, one
strike no, no strikeouts.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. Yeah, bro, that is five walks.
Speaker 2: You had less than zero confidence stepping on that mound
like you are. Like at a certain point, you just
throw it over the plate and let him touch you
up right, and.
Speaker 6: You hope and you just hit it to the defense,
Like that's what we're preaching, uh in etu baseball.
Speaker 4: Just let him hit it. Just let play behind you.
Speaker 5: You can't get.
Speaker 4: Man, man, just what a freaking but you know what
it does do.
Speaker 2: And this is dumb, but I'd be lying if I
said that I don't find it somewhat appealing.
Speaker 4: The stakes are so high tonight.
Speaker 2: Now we have a officially entered balls in the throat territory,
which is always a It's a place where you feel alive,
you know. I don't know if I want to apply
a positive or negative connotation to it, because it can
happen like in a season like this where you're number
one in the country but you're still fighting for your goals,
or it could happen like last year where you know,
every single weekend you had to win when you were
barely trying to make the tournament. But either what it
is when you're in that territory. You're alive and I
can't wait to feel alive tonight watching LSU and South Carolina.
Speaker 4: But brutal game last night. Yeah, they tried to mess
up our celebration here today. I know that gouts steal
our sunshine.
Speaker 8: What you said, and like he's like, we need to
do it.
Speaker 2: We'll double down tonight. It's time to beat that old
man's ash. Do it again tomorrow. Make his neck hurt.
Speaker 5: I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's what That's really good.
Speaker 5: That was that was his medical issue. I'm sorry, Coach,
I love you man.
Speaker 4: Whatever.
Speaker 2: Man, he's talked so much crap crap to me at
charity golf tournaments.
Speaker 4: Yeah, even though.
Speaker 5: The one time great speeches.
Speaker 4: I know he he's great.
Speaker 2: But the one time and and I look, I love
coach Manary when we've done the dreams Come True auction
before one time these two parties got like a massive
bidding war over golfing with Coach Manary.
Speaker 4: And after we after we juiced him.
Speaker 2: To the gills, he just said, I'll do both. Hell yeah,
So they were both on the hook and they had
to uh and and you know it's great. I mean
that was like three dreams funded right there, So shout out,
shout out to uh, shout out to Coachnary. But I
hope you lose the next two games obviously without nickname,
without we hope you don't.
Speaker 8: Injure your no, you get addicted to painkillers.
Speaker 2: That's the one time he saw me drive on a
golf course.
Speaker 4: I actually kind of smoked it. And I suck at golf, so.
Speaker 2: It was like and I was feeling the pressure. He
was talking noise. I think string was there too, talking noise,
and I actually stroked it and then they rolled on it,
and then I got back to just smoking him in
the water and or just like not even getting in
the air topping it.
Speaker 6: All that matters is when the lights are bright, Yeah,
the pressure is on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, did you hit it when it matters?
Speaker 2: Did you hit it when matter? And fortl you did
not say? Hey, last thought here, Landra, what's going on
with Calvien.
Speaker 8: I think there's just a lot of film on him,
and the teams have probably been dialing in on what
he's doing because he's one of the best pictures in
the country. So it's probably just one of those situations
where when they're looking at film They're like, okay, let's
dill in on Zach Cowen and like his best pitches
is change up and that's what they were hitting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in terms of trends, I don't love.
Speaker 8: I don't either because in the last.
Speaker 5: Few against Arkansas twice he was but he was.
Speaker 8: Good against Arkansas, but he was still getting touched up
more than he usually does.
Speaker 2: Man, I thought he had it after he battled for
that first K two. Yeah, it wasn't an O two,
then three to two and then and then he got
that beautiful it was either breaking ball or change up
there at the end, but the beautiful off speed pitch
swung right over the top of it.
Speaker 4: Was then I don't know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I look, then he fought to get
the guy to line out to bear and I'm like, okay,
well he's gonna at least get out of it.
Speaker 4: And tough pitch past ball.
Speaker 2: Has been problem for LS. You this your wild pitches
have lead the SEC and wild pitches in here costs
you game.
Speaker 4: But whatever, it's all good.
Speaker 2: Win the game tonight, Kana Anderson Baby, the strikeout God,
the Tom Glavin College fact simile taking them out to night.
Speaker 6: I do love that every lefty. In your mind, you
initially think of Tom Glad and that makes me happy.
Speaker 4: Always always in forever.
Speaker 2: Even though I have heard Ben and others on broadcasts
this year actually compare him to Tom Glavin.
Speaker 6: Yeah, what didn't matter because you always say it. Yes,
with any good lefty, I'll say Tom Glavin. They're actually
saying from an analysis standpoint here reminds him. I'm just
saying it because he throws a left handed.
Speaker 2: Your favorite of Tom Glavin, shout out Chris always in forever.
Uh all right, mar oja beg hle me get back
off the bench.
Speaker 4: Go to trash rangers dot com.
Speaker 2: If you follow me on social media, you might have
seen my wife taking full advantage of the roll off
dumpster in our driveway yesterday. She threw away my mechanical keyboard.
She hates a clacky keyboard. Well, uh, jokes on her
because I've got four mechanical keyboards in my office.
Speaker 4: Ah. Nice, try good luck.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be listening to that clack and a clack
clock until you die, literally, and you're gonna die at
how good the services When you work with trash Rangers,
it's go to trash rangers dot com. Today, residential, trash, pickup, commercial, whatever.
Trash rangers dot com. Uh, look you need frontlow dumpster's
roll up dumpsters.
Speaker 4: They got it all. Go to trash rangers dot com.
Speaker 6: Two two five three six three nine zero five three
is the phone number.
Speaker 4: Give them a call.
Speaker 6: Like T Bob said, they have three different sizes to
choose from. They're gonna make sure you have the right
size on your project, at your home, at your business.
Speaker 4: Trash rangers dot com.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the seventh ranked morning sports show in America.
Off the bench and with Hester and T Bob.
Speaker 2: Keep this playing well, you can turn down a little bit.
But Alandra, this is so we did not discuss this. No,
and this is actually insane because I could pletely forgot
until this moment. But I had an idea of a
few songs that I wanted to play. Yeah, and the
first was across the Universe from episode two of Attack
of the Clones.
Speaker 4: This song to me, God, turn it out? Can you
feel the yearning.
Speaker 2: Forbidden love?
Speaker 4: Everything tinged with a bit of sadness.
Speaker 2: This song to me is you can turn it out?
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: This song to me is like Romeo and Juliet in
just a single song form like which obviously kind of
the movie is playing on, right, that's like what they're
going for.
Speaker 5: So of course John Williams absolutely nails it.
Speaker 2: But I think this is such a I think this
is first off, I think it's one of my favorite
compositions ever. I think secondly it's a commentary on how
great art can exist within kind of flawed art. Because
I'm not willing to say Attack of the Clones is
bad because I'm an idiot and my brain is broken,
but it is deeply, deeply flawed, which damn near perfect?
Speaker 4: Though? Is this song?
Speaker 2: God let I cannot believe you played this first? That
is crazy. You literally read into my brain. No, John
Williams hes heos, Oh you probably weren't here for that
now you are.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: No, I look I like on Zimmer two. I just
don't find his music to be as listenable. Also, it
doesn't have into.
Speaker 4: A composer battle here on No TV.
Speaker 2: It doesn't have he doesn't have my the nostalgic. I mean,
John Williams at this point is basically wired into my brain. Again, guys,
if you have not seen the John Williams documentary on
Disney Plus, I literally cannot recommend anything more, even over
and or anything else. Well maybe if you're like into
behind the scenes stuff.
Speaker 6: What were we doing in LA when you went and
saw me in concert?
Speaker 4: Why were you there? Turn it up?
Speaker 2: Ah, that's a I mean, that's that's like we you know,
that was that was because of this job. It was
LSU UCLA and I was in the dispensary in line.
I was about to go see my mom afterwards, go
up to her house. And my guy Eric, who I
knew who you were from Baton Rouge, was also in
time of the game, was like, hey, man, you're going
to John Williams.
Speaker 4: Said what do you mean?
Speaker 2: He said, yeah, John Williams playing of the Hollywood Bold Night.
So I immediately called my mom said, Mom, sorry, I'm
not coming over staying in Hollywood. I'm getting a hotel
and I'm going to John Williams. I'm sorry, I'm not
going to see you.
Speaker 4: I love you.
Speaker 2: And you want to talk about fate, I mean you
would talk about being blessed. You want to talk about
the universe shining on you. A random interaction, well the
person I knew, but not a person that I knew
like super well, random interaction leading me to the greatest
concert of my life at the Hollywood Bowl on a
beautiful night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a great date, Danny Danny with me.
Speaker 2: Mark Hamill later tweeting me after I put out a
video of the concert and calling me by name, saying
it's amazing here and live, isn't it.
Speaker 5: T Bob Luke Skywalker said that.
Speaker 2: You know, like frame that and I never got to Uh,
I never got to do that without this job. I
don't even care that. Uh, I don't even care that
else you got there? Ask you about ul losing overs
far for the course at this point, Yeah, we got
beat up to beat up Zach Sharbon at PTR. Well,
what wasn't he the original baby Gronk.
Speaker 6: Ye, it was like a tight end that he placed
little broncos maybe, oh, Greg DOLSI yeah, good job, of course, Taylor,
good job.
Speaker 2: I love you, Bam mc gum taboo. But I enjoy
and or if. I don't know anything about Star Wars Universe,
not to the extent that I would, but I do
think so it's a very well made and I don't know,
I think it's much better than Obi Wan and I
think everyone had some high highs lows. Obie was pretty
good high heis lo lows how I'd always describe Obi one.
Speaker 4: Uh no, I I I I think it's just a yes.
Speaker 2: I think and Or is actually one of the few
Star Wars things you can watch and be like, oh,
this is just a really good, like political intrigue, scheming.
Speaker 4: Sort of show.
Speaker 2: Phillips says, I cried when Luke showed up at the
end of Mandalorian season two. Me too, I'll never forget.
I was sitting there holding Alice and me and me
and Jesse had been connecting the dots all season long
before Mandalor, and is it Luke?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 4: Luke?
Speaker 7: Is it?
Speaker 5: Luke?
Speaker 2: And I got a baby Alice in my own arms.
I'm watching the show and I tell you the second
that x Wing flew by again because my brain is broken,
my tears, you know, eyes immediately weld up. The Ludvig
Gordson score unbelievable. Luke steps out hood on and then
you see Luke at the height of his powers.
Speaker 4: It's an unreal scene. Really. Uh, that's the only time
servers ever made me cry until and Or?
Speaker 8: Oh wow, Yeah, what did Mark Hamill say to you?
Speaker 5: What did he tweet at you?
Speaker 2: Something along the lines of like, it's amazing hearing it live,
isn't it tea bomb day?
Speaker 4: So saying like i'd framed that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just you know, not not in that like
he knew at all who I was. But he's just
a kind person. He saw the name and he just
said it.
Speaker 4: It's just like anything, like you learn someone's name.
Speaker 6: So I always talk about it with like Riley when
he went to Notre Dame, he learned everybody's name because
he knew that would be endearing to them. You say
their name even if you don't know it. So we
got cam Ward credit for Yep, I'm gonna I'll check out.
I need to check out.
Speaker 3: And or.
Speaker 6: My son Jackson, who's listening. He said, you watch Rogue one?
Does that mean I need to watch Rogue one to understand?
Speaker 2: So okay, So this is kind of the fascinating So this, yes,
this is the fascinating storyline of how this all came about.
Speaker 4: So Rogue one.
Speaker 2: Was made as a prequel to the original movie New Hope,
and it's you know, for a long time and it
may be still is definitely from the movie standpoint, I
would think it's It's been a lot of the people's
favorite movie new thing that Disney has done. It's very good,
introduces a whole lot of new characters, and at the
time I was actually a bit lower on it than
others were, though I ended up coming around on upon
another rewatch. But and the time, even after first view,
and I said, you know what, the strongest thing it
does is it makes that original mythology even stronger. One
of the characters in that movie was Cassian and Or
and Or. This TV show is the story of Cassian
and Or and it turtted by Tony Gilroy, who is
one of the best screenwriters of our of our generation,
the guy behind all the Bourne movies.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure he wrote.
Speaker 2: He wrote Michael Clayton and My My brother loves a Screenwriter,
And apparently in screenwriter circles, Michael Clayton's supposed to be
like the best screen one of the best screenplays ever written.
Speaker 7: The Receiver, Uh yes, is that actually the name of
the movie George Clinton one, when he's like, yeah, he's
like a lawyer.
Speaker 2: A lot of Michael Clayton's because when they're also in Oklahoma,
Michael Clayton, Yeah, yeah, Mark, Oh thank you, Okay, same thing,
same thing, yeah, than Jason.
Speaker 4: But but whatever, the point is the quality.
Speaker 2: And I just so so the TV show because I
actually rolled it right into Rogue one and I watched
like the first twenty minutes last night.
Speaker 4: The TV show here, ten years later.
Speaker 2: Has given the context of a movie that was made
in twenty sixteen, which gave the context of a movie
that was made in nineteen seventy seven. So over a
fifty year gap, we have built out the mythos backwards.
Speaker 5: And it's awesome, fascinating, fascinating.
Speaker 4: What a time to be alive. I'm just glad they
can still give you something new that you like because
the last.
Speaker 2: Couple actually back to back bangers though and complete Skelting
Crew which watch at fit in, and completely different, pure
kids show, pure eighties. Spielberg, you know first show, first
Star Wars that my kids have ever been so excited,
like every week when it dropped, we were all on
the couch popcorn ready, such great memories. So actually I'm
a bit reinvigorated with Star Wars right now because you
have two shows that are so completely different, one for adults,
one for kids, and both so good. And I'm excited
to watch Rogue one.
Speaker 8: I just got an email obviously, Is that what that is?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's uh, thank you for indulging that.

Mississippi in the nineteenth century. I feel like I have
a bunch of coal in my stomach going out the
way I came in on the toilet.

a light behind a bushel.

get some brotox.
Speaker 7: You've got to look into what's popular Chicago, like what

want to pay to play at Minnesota. They were saying
they were gonna try to do everything they could to
prevent Caleb Williams from going to Chicago, and uh, Ryan
Poles was like, we're drafting you anyways, regardless of what
you think. And now he's there and the story comes
out like right after they hire Ben Johnson an you
think things are going well and then all this is
coming to a head where it's like he hates Chicago
and never wanted to be there.
Speaker 4: Uh, well, he's been.

he was at the Bulls game the other day, he
sitting there throwing up like signed stuff into the crowd,
