Speaker 1: All start to Yota presents Off the Bench with Jacob
Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where the.
Speaker 1: Plays get broken down. Then science gets denied to.
Speaker 3: Come off the bench.
Speaker 1: Our two of Off the Bench Live from the Mercedes
Benz Baton Rouge Studio starts now.
Speaker 4: Oh TV one of four five ESPN Baton Rouge Jordan,
what do you mean science getting denied is crazier?
Speaker 5: You a sheep? Well, I'm not gonna say I'm a sheep,
but you know, science, science does come and clutch every
night and day.
Speaker 6: There's a there's a lot of different opinions on science
on the show.
Speaker 5: You'll see. I mean in the interest science gets denied here,
you know, we have our own thought process.
Speaker 7: Science does not yet denied. Science gets questioned and that
is the point of science.
Speaker 5: Oh you know question, Yeah, I can. I can agree
with that for sure. Question yes, So don't be a
ship denied. I can't deny sometimes some questions.
Speaker 2: Everything got a question everything?
Speaker 5: Oh you got to man, Look when they give us
technology like this, like I hate when people like you
know ask a question like bro, you know we have
AI and Google now like that can give you that
snap of a finger. You don't have to sit there
and ask stupid questions.
Speaker 6: We have Who's who's Who's behind that?
Speaker 2: Who's behind that? The puppet master?
Speaker 5: The man? Who's that? That's the that's the million dollar question.
Who is the man?
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't to be careful.
Speaker 4: A lot of people use in AI is certainly a
great tool and a resource.
Speaker 5: You gotta be careful. Oh yeah, it's always right.
Speaker 7: I would say, if you destroy it and if you
use the ground up, you should check your work.
Speaker 5: I think yeah, should you? I think you should. It's
advanced so much though, like my last like two years
of college, we just got don't let yeah, like it's
it's so much, it's it's ridiculous. How how for I said,
for how far it's gone? And this, like I said,
a short amount of time?
Speaker 6: You got the uh, well they got the one now
where it's like an essay writer for you. You can
put in specific things and be like make sure this
is not plagiarized. Then it'll cite all the work and everything.
It spits it out like ten minutes.
Speaker 7: It's Uh, you're right, Jordan's it's comes so far that
it's absolutely horrifying.
Speaker 5: Oh, without a doubt. Have you been seeing those new
like AI videos where there's like a human person vlogging.
They're vlogging and it looks like some a real person doing.
Speaker 7: They have like the videos now that I've seen the
last couple of weeks that you cannot.
Speaker 2: Tell I don't do anything.
Speaker 7: You would have to like use another AI source to
tell me if this video is AI or not.
Speaker 5: And that's the problem because at first it was more like, oh, yeah,
it's gonna be getting my parents like, oh man, my
grandma gonna see something. Is believe it, And I'm like, damn,
I kind of believe it. I don't know what I
know right, it's it's bad man.
Speaker 7: It's say, let's plast some walls to destroy it. The
chat GBD ain't worth it people.
Speaker 5: I think we're too far. I think AI is gonna
start like, you know, going against us, going against the Green.
I'm not going nowhere.
Speaker 4: Not this last one, but the one before the mission
Impossible was about, wasn't it AIS protocol?
Speaker 8: Or was that two?
Speaker 5: It was reckoning?
Speaker 8: Oh, final, reckoning?
Speaker 5: This is final?
Speaker 6: That one that was just recording. Yeah, the bad guy
was AI or something like that. Yeah, spoiler if you
haven't seen that one.
Speaker 4: Guys, Like in the first thirty seconds in the movie,
I'm reading a book right now.
Speaker 7: It's the latest in the series of the Terminal List series.
Oh yeah, great book, good year, I say reading listening
to him obviously, Okay, it's about the AI and got
some like about AI and yeah, I'm not going to
get into it, but.
Speaker 4: It's you did great there. I don't know what you're
talking about. He did great getting into it.
Speaker 5: Breakdown, break down.
Speaker 7: Now, I'm just telling you it's I was going to
bring up another country that, you know, want to destroy America.
Speaker 5: There's a couple of countries like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just didn't. I just didn't feel like I
was gonna do that on a Friday. But we did
look up for the break that. Basically I was right.
Speaker 5: Staying alive.
Speaker 7: Staying Alive as a sequel to Saturday Night Fever. So
basically I was right. Which gona be thinking, what is
your favorite or you can do like top two or
three John Travolta movies.
Speaker 5: Uh, face off, that's a chalk answer.
Speaker 8: It's a good one.
Speaker 6: Broken era with him and Christian Slater's You're not bad.
Speaker 5: It's not bad.
Speaker 4: Uh, Grease I'm not gonna I'm not gonna act like
I'm too cool.
Speaker 5: Did I say grease?
Speaker 8: It's an iconic one too.
Speaker 5: Look who's talking talking was the.
Speaker 7: One that I went to, like well, I went face
off and then I went, look he's talking, and look
he's talking to and look he's talking now binga pulp fiction.
Speaker 5: That was mine, but I didn't want to be Chalky. Yeah, yeah,
pulp fiction that one.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's fine.
Speaker 4: Ensemble cast and so like, obviously you think of him,
he's one of the main characters. But that's there's so
many good characters in that. Like you ask about someone, yeah,
like you know for sure swordfish No, no, no, I
do like it.
Speaker 5: You're not gonna give me a swordfish, Hali Berry. Nothing
outside of that?
Speaker 7: What's a guy that is a Jackman?
Speaker 2: Is that right?
Speaker 3: Huge?
Speaker 8: Yeah, Hugh Jackman's in it.
Speaker 2: M what else we got?
Speaker 4: We got LSU Baseball Game one Saturdays six pm Central Time,
Game two Sunday twelve thirty pm Central Time, Game three
if necessary, it's gonna be Monday five thirty pm Central Time. Man,
I don't and then know why you do? It's for
rest and to get the guy's bag. It's three straight days.
But man, gosh, day baseball game. I like going to
a day baseball game, but under the lights just hits
different when you're playing.
Speaker 5: For it all. You wanted to feel special, Yeah, I
wanted to feel special. And we're so good with the
lights on, literally, Joe, Man, you know what that's funny
you say that, Jake, because what is a sporting event
that you would rather prefer in the daytime to night time?
Speaker 8: I mean, the big NASCAR races are elder in the day.
Speaker 5: I mean yeah that, I mean that makes sense obviously,
but football is better at night football. It's not even
remotely close.
Speaker 4: And oh, by the way, speaking of Big ten, Big ten, Bob,
Bob Carpenter sent me a message at four forty seven
am and said, tell Flinner happy birthday for me. Oh wow, guy, Yeah,
the first thing. He's probably his eighth set of one
tens when he sent that.
Speaker 2: Birthday's gotten nationwide.
Speaker 4: But speaking of that, speaking of the Big Ten, Bobby
and I talk about this all the time and he's
used to it, so it's like not a big deal.
I'm like, no big football game should be played at brunch.
Speaker 5: You shouldn't it.
Speaker 4: And you hear people like, oh my gosh, you can
go to the tailgate early, you can go to the game,
you can go to the bars after.
Speaker 5: I'm like, terrible, That's not what I'm looking for.
Speaker 4: What I'm looking for is I show up to campus early,
still early, right.
Speaker 2: Got to park, plenty of time.
Speaker 4: I park, I go watch the games that are already on.
I'm eating, I'm drinking, I'm tasting yourself a little bit.
And you just you let you allow the campus to
just build energy with each passing hour, with each game
that's on, Like when it finishes up, the energy just
continues to build. How you feel, really feel, and then
by the time you get to under the lights, like
if there was a roof, it will be ready to
pop off. Like they're like the build up in a
big time night game compared to a day game. Yeah,
a day game you don't even have time, like even
as players just like wake up, get on the bus,
free game, go. But for a night game, you get
all day to go over things, think about things, well,
you know, not chase ghosts, but try to make sure
you have everything covered. And then like on campus, the
field just the lead into a big game.
Speaker 5: The hanging out you can smell it in the air.
There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 4: Different, Like no big time football game should be kicked
off before three point thirty.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 8: I early I agree early What.
Speaker 2: Was the game?
Speaker 7: What was the game in the Big Ten this year
that played at eleven? It was Ohio State game.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 7: You might be right. It was at the end of
the season and it was like two top five teams
playing might have been that game. And I remember listening
to y'all talk about it on this show. It was
at eleven o'clock game there, and the Big Ten was like, no,
that's what it's going to be, and we're not changing.
Speaker 8: That's their thing though, like the kickoff, like they love.
Speaker 7: It so like when So when I was in Green
Bay play it was, you know, you get a lot
of noon games in the NFL, of course, because that's
the time slots, right, So we had a lot of
new games in lambeau Field.
Speaker 2: Then we'd have a couple of night games.
Speaker 7: And you go to Wisconsin, the nicest, kindest people in
the world. They're not aggressive, they're not anything, right, So
at a noon game, it was like I would describe
it as like bring your grandkids to the ballpark, to
the stadium type of deal.
Speaker 2: Like you'd go in.
Speaker 7: There's a bunch of people being nice. They're all like
holding signs up like we love the Packers and like
go erin and you know whatever, school can. Yeah, have
a great play, guys.
Speaker 2: But then when the night games came, you would think.
Speaker 7: That it was like Saturday night in Death Valley, Like
it was a completely different population, a different field.
Speaker 2: And I don't know how to explain.
Speaker 7: As a player, when you get off a bus or
you enter a stadium, or enter the atmosphere LSU players,
when you're riding that bus and get on the hill,
it it's not even the noise. Sometimes you can just
feel low energy or you can feel high energy. And
I don't know why. I don't know if it's the
sound waves in the air. I don't know what it is.
But you can feel it whether it's happening or not.
You have no idea. You're getting off a bus. Yeah,
you step off a bus and you can just feel
if there's good energy or there's no energy.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it is a kind of it's a shame
that I can tell you.
Speaker 4: So we played y'all one year in San Diego. Y'all
were undefeated. We were so y'all were like eleven and
zero and we were like nine and two, like we
were really good. Y'all were really good, and we almost
like we made a comeback. It was a great football game.
It actually rained in San Diego, which never happens. It
was a great football game though, And that was a
day game, like so that should have been like peak.
And then like a week.
Speaker 5: Later, we played like a bad Raiders team on a
Thursday night and it was juiced juice.
Speaker 4: I mean, they were terrible, but it was still like,
this is a Thursday night. Nobody else is playing right now,
it's on this yeah, and you know, obviously like the
Packers had a ton of things too, but when we
played the Raiders, we were outnumbered in our own stadium, right,
so that brought some juice to it as well.
Speaker 7: So I remember, so playing Monday and Thursday night games
are always the worst.
Speaker 2: Thursdays a little bit better than Monday.
Speaker 7: Monday night was the worst because usually if you have
a night game, like you get to chill in your
hotel room, you get to watch other games. On Monday night,
you have all your meetings and then you have like
this three four five hours of downtime that normally you
could get with your with your teammates, talk about the
game coming up, and watch other people play, just to
like get your mind off everything. Yeah, but on Monday
night football you get back to your hotel room and
you got to watch Days of Our Lives or you
know midday people. The price is right, there's nothing on TV.
So it's like, man, what am I gonna do? How
do I get my mind off of everything? Because you're
not studying, you're not cramming. Hay's in the barn at
that point, right, So.
Speaker 4: If you're watching too much, then it's like we always
talk about chasing ghosts, and you're chasing things that you
don't need to and you create problems in aren't they?
Speaker 2: That was always the worst that I was like, how
do I feel?
Speaker 5: Four hours?
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 7: Get me on the early best of the Stadium today.
Speaker 5: I was always an early best guy anyway.
Speaker 2: I was usually usually early bust.
Speaker 4: I wanted to walk, I wanted to get out. I
wanted to walk around. I wanted to get a feel.
I wanted to get a little tourt all in the ivy.
You know important.
Speaker 2: Stuff, important stuff in life.
Speaker 6: I hate to give them credit because I hate these guys.
But like I'm at home, I could be watching on TV.
I see a Monday night game in Philly, Like I'm
fired up on my couch, like that place, that place
is electric on a Monday night.
Speaker 8: Like that's that. That's that's incredible.
Speaker 4: Most electric NFL stadium that you played in?
Speaker 2: M Mmmm.
Speaker 4: I feel like people ask us that question in college.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you don't hear it as much.
Speaker 5: And nobody really ask you in the NFL.
Speaker 7: Well, it's one hundred percent. It would be a night situation.
So I had the most night games in Green Bay,
so that place could get very electric. Seattle Stadium, very loud, wild.
Speaker 5: Legion of boom. That was scary. That was like a
death sentence. You had to go to the I mean
you're gonna go.
Speaker 4: You're gonna lean more NFC because that's where you spend
a bullshiard of time.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna lean more AFC. I thought Baltimore would be
Crazytimore's not bad. Pittsburgh's better.
Speaker 4: Ye, Kansas City's college college.
Speaker 2: We did play in Kansas City a lot.
Speaker 4: They they were so bad when I first got into
the NFL. Brody Kroyle was their quarterback. And then the
next year, I think Tyler Thigpin speaking of Coast of
Carolina show their quarterback.
Speaker 5: They were bad. He was there at some point.
Speaker 4: They were bad, bad, and it was packed to the
gills and it was late in the season. And that
place also can change and the snap of a finger.
We go there one year, it's like seventy beautiful weather. Yeah,
we go to halftime and we come back out and
it's like low thirties with the most win you've ever
seen in your life. Everybody got so sick because of
the change, drastic like change, just like immediately in weather,
like on the plane, everybody was miserably sick. Like that
place has things that no other NFL stadium in my opinion,
have with the weather, with the fans, and.
Speaker 5: With no matter how good or bad they are, they're
going to be there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the Arrowhead is uh is built different for sure.
Speaker 2: That fan base.
Speaker 7: That fan base shows out and when even on TV
you can kind of tell watching the games they do
all the pre game yet. Yeah, yeah, we went there
thirteen and oh in twenty eleven, we were coming off
a Super Bowl. In twenty ten, we're thirteen and oh,
an incredible team, probably better than the year before. Yeah,
feeling pretty good that we we were just gonna you know,
nineteen and oh that year.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 7: And then Kansas City, who uh who was the coach
that got fired the week before we got there?
Speaker 5: So Todd Haley.
Speaker 2: Todd Haley got fired. I believe Romeo Crenell was the classic.
Speaker 7: We got bit by the classicium the drum head coach,
virus man. They went every time, if you're a sports
gambler and a coach gets fired, bet on that team
the next Oh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, does juice man, juice? He had his juice. He
did rizzy over here making a stretch and all that
players are happy. I was like, man, we've been waiting
to do this all year. Couldn't beleeve it what Okay?
So we talked about the best it's the worst NFL.
Speaker 2: We also got to say the Buffalo is pretty pretty.
Speaker 5: Okay, So Buffalo's good. Uh.
Speaker 4: The game I played there, the power went out in
the stadium, like the entire stadium the power went out,
and they had to keep the clock on the field
with like old school stopwatches.
Speaker 5: Wow, And so we had no communication.
Speaker 4: It was just a cluster, you know what, the entire game,
trying to get plays in, signals in. Come on, you're
on a stopwatch right now, like we're trying to get
a play into Bud. I promise, yes, But I mean
Buffalo for sure. The worst for me was Miami. Really,
those people didn't.
Speaker 8: Care to be I was going to guess Jacksonville.
Speaker 4: Now, we played Jacksonville like actually crazy both times. I
think we're like National TV night games in Jacksonville.
Speaker 8: You played them, when you played them, they were probably
pretty good.
Speaker 5: I don't remember. I remember Paul Pus Luxney. Yeah, oh no,
neck having Yeah, I was just for sure.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think we played there early. I think
m j D was still there.
Speaker 5: He probably was still there during this time as well.
But it's Miami for me.
Speaker 4: I mean they were one like before they built the
new stadium, they were one of the ones that would
have a baseball field during baseball season, and so you're
playing like you're playing a professional football game on a
baseball field. So you're running down on kickoff, you're in grass,
all of a sudden you're in dirt, and then you're.
Speaker 5: Back on grass.
Speaker 4: Oakland did that in our division. I always did in Oakland,
but Miami.
Speaker 7: Did it to Miami sucked because there was at least
Oakland had juice in the stadium, Like they had fans.
Speaker 5: That were the black Hole.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but Miami had a huge stadium, incredible stadium, fourteen fans,
most of them wearing Hurricanes jerseys. A lot of Packers
fans were there when we were playing, and we were
coming from Wisconsin and it was hot, like its just
and it was always during the day because they're never
going to get a night game, and it it did suck.
And then of course I go play for the Raiders
in that field. Is just terrible.
Speaker 2: The people, I mean, they hated me in general. Like
you go to the black Hole and it just you know,
smells like some you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah blacky backy, yeah, yeah, a little Devil's lettuce.
Speaker 2: Devil's lettuce.
Speaker 5: Miami.
Speaker 4: Also like it was so humand like if you wore
a visor, immediately had to take it off because flogging
up a humidity advisor because in the preseason.
Speaker 2: And don't blame it on anything, you thought I.
Speaker 4: Would have worn to LSU if I thought it looked cool, uh, preseason,
I wear contacts. At that point got poking the eye
against the Seahawks in a preseason game. I'm like, trying
to make the team. I get it, but it's the
fourth quarter of the third preseason game. What are we
doing poking people in the eye? Were doing contact pops out, okay,
and so like I got like one eye because I mean,
if I didn't have contacts then I couldn't see anything.
Speaker 5: I mean coke bottle glasses for me back then. Really
I couldn't even imagine what.
Speaker 4: So after that started wearing advisor so that couldn't happen.
End up getting Lasik and so after that, yeah, I
kept it because it probably looked cool, But.
Speaker 5: Initially was it mirrored.
Speaker 4: We had one guy that was going to have a
cool advisor on our team, and it was the guy
behind I am mean number twenty one.
Speaker 5: It wasn't me. I was just gonna ask them, how
did he get away with that? He was LT.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, he was a better number one people, Which.
Speaker 4: That's not like he wouldn't like, he didn't walk around
like I'm melt like, you wouldn't know. He's one of
the best running backs of all time, one great human
being down to earth. But he's LT. LT I've told
his story to these two, but Jordan, you probably hadn't
heard this. We're watching tape one day and uh, we
were going routes on linebackers, like one on ones, right,
and it was from like the the top view. We
had a couple of different views, but it was like
the all twenty two views, so it's really high up whatever.
Speaker 5: We're going through it and watching it.
Speaker 4: Nor's like, hey, when you run this arrow route, Darren,
you got to get across the linebacker's face talking to
Sprowls like you got to like it's it's not even
in the discussion. If you don't do it, Phillip's gonna
throw an interception, it's gonna be your fault.
Speaker 5: Just going after him a little bit.
Speaker 4: And then the running back coach goes, uh, hey, Nor,
that tell Tea and he goes hell of out.
Speaker 5: Lt Hey.
Speaker 4: It just goes on to the next places, is like
what Yeah.
Speaker 5: There was.
Speaker 4: Sprolls was still kind of young ish a rookie because
I was He's probably a third year when I got there,
But I mean Sprolls ended up being almost I think
he could be a Hall of Famer with what he did.
Speaker 7: Return wise, it was so funny how you'd always get
young guys or you know, three or four year players
that were you know, special team guys. Was trying to
like make it year by year, they get fined or
they'd get in trouble or have to do something for it,
like doing something small, like bringing something they shouldn't into
a team meeting, or like just just doing something little
like just clean up stuff in the locker room, and
they get so mad. They're like, this is BS, this
is bush League. I saw I just saw Aaron Rodgers
do that and he doesn't get in trouble. And I'm like, yeah,
I know, guess what, there's a hierarchy here and not everybody,
like life isn't fair, but not everybody gets graded on
the same scale. So I think you should probably just
deal with it and run down and kickoff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you should be the L five and go hit
the wedge. My guy, you're not Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 7: I got Alva the U the huddle, the chat over
here saying who was the Jacksonville lineman whose pregamer teams
get slapped in the face, and that is big John Henderson, Tennessee.
Speaker 8: I'll play the video here was from Tennessee.
Speaker 2: I thought he was Baylor, Big John Henderson. There was
a big boy named Henderson.
Speaker 3: Baylor.
Speaker 5: We're trying to make people Baylor Bears. Oh for real.
The only one we recognize here is Alvin.
Speaker 2: Everybody should respect him.
Speaker 5: Alvin Flynn's the only one we recognize here.
Speaker 2: Like John Henderson, you talk about scary human.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was some of those defensive linemen during that
time period. We're just all right, let's do this.
Speaker 4: Let's take a break because we got Anthony coming up
at eight thirty. Short set will show you one of
the scariest human beings of all time when we come
back here on OTV.

Speaker 2: Two two five two two eight two eight six five.
Speaker 1: From the locker room today, air Waves gets off the
bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 4: All Right, it's gonna be a short seg got a
guy Anthony Ronado set to join us here.
Speaker 5: Coming up.
Speaker 4: Here is the video that we were talking about John
Henderson's unusual pregame routine. Look at Jack del Rio, look
at young say Jack, oh yeah sure. How about if
you're that guy that has to slap one of the
scariest looking human beings, Look at him walking out shoulder.
It takes up the whole God dang, yeah, there's no
way I was going to the league.
Speaker 5: All right, so I can so real quick.
Speaker 4: In the chat of the same discussion is going on
and somebody talking about the scariest person in the NFL,
and Walter was mentioned in a couple but he also
mentioned Aaron Donald. But here's like everybody talked to talks
about like Aaron Donald's a nice guy, super nice. So
like for me, he's terrifying on the football field because
he's really good. But it's like it's like a switch
he turns on. He's not that guy. That's why this
answer is always James Harrison debo. It's always because I
don't really know where his mindsets at. I'm gonna be
honest with you off the field, James Harrison, I think
wants to hurt you as much as he wanted to
hurt you on the field because he played against you
one time. I saw him at the Super Bowl this
year and I'm like, I know I cut him one time.
He wasn't very happy about. I think you remembers that.
Think I should go say hello, do you think I
should just walk the other way? He's the only guy
for me that when I was playing, I was like,
I don't know, like anybody else, I'm like look, it's
a blog. I'm like, whatever, James Harrison like some of
the stuff he would say under the pile, And during
the moment, I'm like, I don't know that. I don't
know this guy has my best interest at heart.
Speaker 5: You're telling me James Harrison had that prison trash talk
he did.
Speaker 2: Oh well he said it, and you're like, huh, I
think I think he meant that in his heart. Yeah,
so you caught it.
Speaker 7: You're definitely like on his Billy Madison people to kill her.
Speaker 2: For sure, for sure?
Speaker 7: For sure. I'm is there is there a picture out
there of James Harrison smiling.
Speaker 4: Like a headshine of something for like a or maybe
like when he got like maybe if he like trucks
somebody and he's like talking to him wild smiling.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he probably smiled when he took Colt McCoy's life,
so he probably I'm.
Speaker 7: Gonna I'm gonna stick in the n FC here just
because we saw him all the time and Dominic and
Sue was a terrifying person and he was and he
played because he played dirty, right, So that's what made
him kind of terrible that I think there's I can't
remember if it was early on like Jake Delhome or
something like that with the Bears, like as a rookie.
He took his head and like twisted it and ripped
it off, and he the helmet came off thing. But
like he was trying to look like you're trying to snap.
Speaker 5: A neckybe smiling.
Speaker 2: That was easy. Someone must have fallen.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he was laughing at some money.
Speaker 2: Someone got broke their leg, right, yeah, somebody was.
Speaker 5: Somebody was cussed right in front of him. Look at
that bone, blood and air Like a shark smells blood
and water, and.
Speaker 2: Dom can sue the tackle.
Speaker 7: Sacked me for a safety one time and he had
me like in the air, and I was like, in
my mind, I was like this could be bad, Like
he could try to like do the old school like
street fight or backbreaker over the knee or something like that.
I didn't know it was going to happen. But he
like kind of just set me down easily. Yeah, he
was a mature player at that time. He had had
a lot of fines. Yeah, a lot of fines. But
he also knew early on in that game. Third play
the game, I think I think it was a third play.
The game was a third down. This was in h
This was in playing in Detroit on Thanksgiving through an.
Speaker 2: Out'ro oute to Jordi.
Speaker 7: We caught it, got the first down, but he came back.
He had a clean shot on me. He could have
just like crushed me. A clean shot. You know, a
form tackle doesn't hurt that bad, Like it's a clean
good pads cl He could have hit me hard.
Speaker 2: He didn't.
Speaker 7: He had a free shot at me, ran by me,
sniped me with his elbow right in the rib cage.
Didn't tackle me, hit me in the ribs with his
elbow crack.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, with his elbow.
Speaker 7: I was like, man, come on, Sue, just hit me
next time, like he knew what he was doing.
Speaker 2: He had a free shot.
Speaker 5: I gotta take a break, but sorry.
Speaker 4: What I'm surprised by is that when guys are miked up,
and it happens every game now, but he used to
have him pretty often even when we played. I'm surprised
that that footage hasn't found its way to the public.
Speaker 5: Some of the stuff that's set an uncensored version.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm surprised that hasn't. You know, somebody got mad
at the NFL network and oh bet here you go,
James Harrison unedited. He would I mean he's bad. He
wouldn't even be the worst. I'll figure out it.
Speaker 7: Is not in the Shields best interest to let any

Speaker 4: You know who really messed up the other day was
Matt showing me Fanatics Live.
Speaker 3: Oh I told you about that.
Speaker 4: I was like, I know, and I didn't investigate. But
then he sends me a screenshot and I'm like, crap.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be a real problem.
Speaker 9: I'm telling you, you could go down a rabbit hole.
Speaker 5: Real fouts could be or already.
Speaker 9: Is yeah it's okay, Well, yeah, I know how fast
it happened.
Speaker 3: Jake.
Speaker 2: Jake already had a user name of password.
Speaker 4: Let's oh yeah, well Fanatics is my uh my sports
book of choice, so.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, nice.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I do like that feature though, that they're all connected.
You know the way you money on the sports get
into a Fanatics library exactly.
Speaker 5: Anthony gets it. You don't get it. It's a big
picture deal, big picture, big picture deal.
Speaker 4: Here real quick, What do you got going on in Chicago?
That sounds like an awesome trip? Like maybe, yeah, you
can say hello to our boy Ta Bob while you're there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh shoot, I forgot he's up here. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 9: So my best friend from New Jersey actually is a
sports agent up here or does marketing with Scott Boris's agency.
So I just he lives right in Regularville. So I
just stopped in on the way to New Jersey where
I grew up. And then Fanatics test this weekend. So
I was just here for like three days. We caught
a game yesterday.
Speaker 3: It was fun.
Speaker 7: Tell us about Fanatics fast. I'm like, we've we've never
heard of him. Sure, some of our listeners are will
tell us about what that is and what happens.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so you talk about having fun ripping some cards. Man,
it is like a big kids like playground. They got
all kinds of activations. There's all kinds of shops from
all over the country. There's all kinds of every brand
of sports cards and collectibles that you could ever imagine.
There's all kinds of m on CCG. But then they
have autograph signings. Jay Z's forty to forty Club was
in there last year, and you know, they were hosting
VIP sessions things like that. That's just a big, like
fan experience for like a whole weekend in the Javit
Center in New York.
Speaker 4: And you're going to Chicago at Fanatics in a great
mood because Tigers won and they had an incredible, incredible
game the other night. And we had Mikey on a
little bit earlier. We were talking about, you know, all
the different things that happened in that game. But for you, Anthony,
like you're you're a pitcher, so maybe you had a
different kind of view than Mikey did.
Speaker 5: What was the moment for you in that game the
other night? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well, dude, you know what's the craziest.
Speaker 9: Part was listen to this.
Speaker 3: So I had a business dinner.
Speaker 9: At seven thirty in Chicago, and so I watched the
first hour and a half on the car ride there.
Speaker 3: Then we get to the dinner. The guy's a little late,
so we sit down.
Speaker 9: I get a prime spot to watch the game. I
watch all nine and a half innings and then the
Peacocks streaming thing goes out in the bottom of the nine.
Oh so I did not watch it live.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was kind of like watching over the Guy Show,
you know. I'm then listening in the meeting and talking
and stuff.
Speaker 9: But I watched every single pitch, So I didn't get
to watch the bottom of the ninth.
Speaker 3: But for me.
Speaker 9: I think just the energy that that team like just
brings and doesn't quit with was kind of it for me.
It was just that never stopped. And it was weird
because when it was five three going into the ninth,
I was like and the TV went out, I was like, oh,
I'm not that concerned. I was like, no matter what,
we're coming back tomorrow. But I had this weird feeling
that my phone just started blowing up. And what everybody
said in my group chat was it was just LSU baseball,
And that's kind of what everybody said in the interviews afterwards,
which is crazy, right. But felt so bad for that
kid and everything, But it was a great win for LSU,
and man, they got some crazy momentum going into the series.
Speaker 4: I hate to be the guy that tells you this news.
But Anthony, you know how this works. You know you
can't watch the games now.
Speaker 9: I know, maybe it's just the last inning though I
watched nine and a half.
Speaker 3: Though I watched nine and a half.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, just make sure you know baseball is superstitious.
You know that better than we do.
Speaker 9: I'm just saying, yeah, I'll pick the right time to
turn off the TV when they need to come back.
Speaker 3: I'll just turn it off. Then when they come back,
I can put it back on.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 7: This is one thing like throughout this whole Super Regionals
and College World Series that I'm just curious as a fan.
So when you look at the pictures, we don't have
to worry about this now because we got the day's rest.
We're gonna have Kate Anderson and Iansen on full rest
and full go this weekend. But when you get in
situations where which could have happened the other day, where
Ironston comes in the game on short rest and pitchers
have to speed up their recovery, how does your your
rest days change from a treatment standpoint, from a body
maintenance standpoint, when you know you have to rush a
recovery to get back on the mound quicker than you
normally would.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was a starter of my whole life, so
that was a big thing for me. And that's where
you know, if they have a chance to keep Kate
on his weekly schedule going in the champions Series, you always.
Speaker 3: Want to do that.
Speaker 9: But in Ainston's case, like he's come out of the
bullten a couple times this year and obviously has thrived
when he did, so his case might be a little different.
But it definitely takes a toll on the body, and
especially when you're kind of built as a starter and
you're used to that, you've done it your whole life,
it definitely takes a toll. And basically what it is
is you're kind of going on adrenaline, and especially at
the end of the year, so yeah, it takes a
little longer to warm up maybe, but once you get
in there, you kind of feel the same. And really
it's the recovery afterwards that kind of catches up to you, right,
So that's why it was so big that we didn't
have to use Anton because then his recovery afterwards leading
into the Championship Series probably would have caught up with him.
Speaker 4: Somewhere down the line, you know, so many pitching performances
that are going to get lost in that game the
other night because of the ninth inning, because of how
it all played out. But I mean, now guys that
you certainly can count on as you continue to try
to go win a national championship. Like what Cowan gave
you five and a third only giving up four hits
and run Jay Newke comes in gives you a clean inning.
There was I thought Chase Sures for the most part,
was actually really good. And I know a lot of
people are like, hey, throw more fastballs. I get it,
but I mean he was hitting his spots. And then
like Jacob Myers coming in, I know he gave up
like the hit, but like you had infield in obviously
trying to make a play there, but for him to
come in and get those final two strikeouts. At the time,
nobody really thought anything of it, but it closed the
door on Arkansas. They didn't score any more runs because
of it. And so like, there's some pitching performances, Anthony,
that are probably going to get lost that were huge.
Speaker 5: The other night.
Speaker 9: N And you said it, I think people sleep all
the time, and I don't know what Mikey's answer was.
I didn't hear what he said. But you know, in
those situations when you keep a team close and your
team isn't striking distance, that is the main key, and
that's the tricky part for Jay. When I was watching
the game, I'm like, oh, man, it's such a weird
way to manage the bulltend because you want to try
to win that game obviously, right, yeah, but you know
you have that game in your back pocket to fall
back on the next.
Speaker 3: Day, so you're like, Okay, I don't want use all
of my bullets.
Speaker 9: But I think I think for me, the biggest development
is Chase Shortes. He's putting him in those positions where
we need him the most. I thought he kept him
in Justin's had too long. Obviously, hindsight's always twenty twenty, right,
But I think the way that he was dominating and
has been dominating, I think that has been the biggest
development for us. And to have him and that confidence
at the end of a game, or more importantly, in
like a big situation in the seventh inning where we
need a strikeout or just a shut down inning or
something like that. That's where I think he's most valuable,
and that's what I think we keep seeing. But the
guys keep rising to the occasion, doesn't matter who it is.
Speaker 3: Or what position they're in. And that's kind of like
what you see.
Speaker 9: Every time you look back on a championship team. So
these guys keep doing that, Jay keeps pressing the right
buttons and it's been fun to watch.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Anthey, how big of an advantage it is it
for a pitcher to know that they have such a
dominant and sound defense behind them, Like what does that
do for the confidence level?
Speaker 2: Like to go out there and just say.
Speaker 7: Hey, let me hit my spots and throw strikes because
I know I got this defense back here. But is
that something that pictures are cognizant of that builds their confidence.
Speaker 2: Is it just or are they just a one.
Speaker 7: Guy out there just saying I gotta strike some guys
out and get them out.
Speaker 9: I think it's more of a subconscious thing. It's definitely
more noticeable when you have a bad defense. That's more
of when you're like, oh, like I got to throw
everything kind of perfect. I gotta do a lot more
than I need, you know what I'm saying? Like that
kind of stuff. So I think it's more of a
confidence play of.
Speaker 3: Cool, I can be who I need to be.
Speaker 9: And that's where we've seen some of these pitchers and
we talked about it. I think after the Regional when
each starter gave up, you know, five or six or whatever.
But I was like, guys, they were up, they had
a big lead. They were doing what they needed to do.
And when you have a defense like that, you're like, cool,
let me throw the ball down the middle and let
them go try to hit it as long as I
don't walt guys, you know type thing. So I think
it's more of that mindset of yeah, we have a
great team behind me. I can do whatever I need
to do, and if that, if the day calls for
me just to throw strikes and let the ball be
put in play.
Speaker 5: That's a great thing, Anthony. You got your two front
line starters.
Speaker 4: You already mentioned that that's going to give you a
huge advantage. Guys out of the bullpen that you trust
in any situation.
Speaker 5: What's that number up to and who is.
Speaker 9: It I actually got? I actually really love our bullpen
right now. The other night I was calling for Cooper
Williams in certain situations. So like, I think we got
four or five guys that I feel really confident in
out of the bullpen. You saw what Cohen can do,
whether that means long relief spots start like he did
he was closing earlier in the year. You know, you
got Evans obviously in that flex role too, but he
was obviously shown that he can throw a one inning
and be that shutdown guy in the ninth I love
Shores right now, I said Cooper Williams. I'm trying to
think you got Jaden Newt being able to do the
things that he does.
Speaker 3: So I don't know.
Speaker 9: I got five guys, five six guys that I feel
really confident about about that out of that bullpen.
Speaker 7: All right, let's put you on the spot a little
bit here. Give us your prediction. How do you see
the weekend playing out?
Speaker 3: Ah, don't do this to me.
Speaker 2: We're recording this.
Speaker 9: I hate I hate momentum.
Speaker 3: I hate momentum.
Speaker 9: And like we talked about, this team is really good.
Speaker 3: They're really good. So I.
Speaker 9: It's weird if they if Coastal wins, I would not
be surprised.
Speaker 3: But I think LSU is.
Speaker 9: The better team overall, and I think they're I think
they have a slight coaching advantage. So I'm gonna go LSU,
and it's obviously close to my heart, but I think
it's one of three game series and I would not
be surprised at all Coastal wins all right there, he.
Speaker 4: Is, Anthony Reno, good enough to join us from Chicago.
We always appreciate the time, but certainly when you're out
there enjoying life, oh Maha, Chicago doing all the things, man,
we appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Yes, appreciate you guys.
Speaker 5: Go Tigers, Absolutely, Go Tiger.
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people, just I think a
lot of people have this going three games, no matter
which way it plays out breaks down. Two teams incredibly
hot right now, two teams that have really found themselves
at the back end of the season. Certainly Coastal on
their you know, twenty plus wins in a row, but
even LSHU, like you lost the one game to Little Rock,
but you sweep You're super You've swept Omaha so far.
It is the two teams that, without question deserve to
be there.
Speaker 2: And I don't care what level of baseball you're at.
Speaker 7: Twenty six games, Ron, Okay, if you're playing eight no
accident at TDP.
Speaker 5: You win twenty six games in a row, That's that's something.
Speaker 7: Just like Anthony said, nothing would shock us. And momentum
is a scary thing for sure. Twenty six games.
Speaker 4: All right, well, I mean LS, she's got some momentum too,
after how they won that game against Arkansas and again
five games this year, four and one for the Tigers
against the team that everybody told us was the most
complete team in baseball. We will take our final break
of our number two. We've got Ross Jackson set to
join us at nine fifteen. Talk a little New Orleans
Saints kick off hour three. We'll talk a little LSU football.
We'll do it all right here on o T.
