Speaker 1: Off the bench. We have to Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where the.
Speaker 1: Plays get broken down and science gets denied.
Speaker 2: I got to come off the bitch.
Speaker 1: Hour two of Off the Bench Live from the Raisin
Kine Studio.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back here Off the Bench our number
two Live from the Raisin Kine Studio. Flynn Eland k
TA in studio, tripod rolling here, Jacob Hester live on
split screen from the NFL Combine. Man that first hour
flew by. I think we really informed the people on
the sports everything happened in sporty. We're going to continue
to do so. Right here and Off the Bench we
kind of talked about it. This is a it's a
big deal, a lot of implications geopolitical implications certainly, but
also sports implications as the FIFA World Cup it's happening
this summer, and guess where four of those matches are
going to be played. Guadalajara, Mexico, yep. I think Guadalhara.
The area that it's in has certainly made some headlines recently.
Cartel leader Elmncho was killed recently by the Mexican army.
That is what how do you pronounce it? Jlisco, Jalisco, Jalisco,
and Guadalajara is the capital of Jalisco. So a lot's
been happening since this is going on. I'm gonna ask you,
w Wandra, what the hell was happening in Mexico right now?
Speaker 3: I mean, so, they, like you said, they killed the
head of the cartel that's that has like control of Jalisco,
and everybody else was like, that's not cool. So they
are basically retaliating and just doing a bunch of roadblocks.
At first they were setting cars on fire to block
the roads, but now they're straight up digging the highways out.
Speaker 2: Whoa, yeah, pretty serious. I got control of the tractors.
Speaker 3: They have control, like the cartel basically runs Yeah, exactly,
the cartel basically runs Mexico. Right Like when this first
came out, I thought it was like another cartel that
like got in the Mexican military's ear and was like, hey,
go take this guy out. That's how entrenched they are,
and like the government stuff like that. But then it
turns out like America, like the United States, it was
in partnership with the United States, so I guess some
seals went out there too. But yeah, basically just wreaking
havoc throughout Mexico right now.
Speaker 4: Basically, Yeah, I feel like they're gonna put this behind
them mother toime though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did c an Arco says FIFA is staying up
to date, but as of now, they're not changing anything.
Speaker 5: That's kind of wild.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it doesn't happen to what Jude. When
does When does the World Cup starts June? It starts
in June, so that's when the games would be in June,
So we got some time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have time, but there's also like basically a
civil war going on. I don't know why you wouldn't
just change it. All the Americans that are in Mexico
right now are basically being held hostage.
Speaker 2: I would say, taste thing. Those four games playing in
the Dome.
Speaker 6: Well, the US isn't. US isn't gonna play in Mexico.
They're gonna play their games. I believe they start out.
I know they got so far. They've got Seattle, so
the games, the games there have already kind of been decided.
Who's playing in the locations.
Speaker 2: Oh well, there's a lot to unpack there, and certainly
we are not the showdown pack at all. But certainly
we wanted to bring some awareness because I know, Jake,
you are a your soccer guy. So I'm sure like
you have some sort of countdown calendar on your phone
set to when the World Cup is? Are you going
to try to make any games?
Speaker 6: Oh? Yeah, I'm trying to get serious to send me
to some of these games. Need me to cover these
games for you. I'll miss that one. I'll probably are safety.
Speaker 5: I'm good.
Speaker 7: What do we do were your correspondent, We'll go work
for you.
Speaker 6: One of the cities I think it's I know Mexico
City Stec is obviously going to get one. Uh, Monterey
gonna get I think the other, and so by Lahar
is a third city in Mexico to get a game.
But I'm trying to find out right now, like who's
already in that one because you kind of know some
of the locations.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm Monterey is the other one?
Speaker 2: Mm? Now that would be pool play? Is that right?
Would that be the four games?
Speaker 6: Group play?
Speaker 2: Play? Yea, I'm sorry, same thing right.
Speaker 6: Uh, just like you don't like calling the Star, I'm
just gonna call it what it's called, you know, group
play A group all right?
Speaker 2: So We're just coming out of the Olympics, and of
course a lot of American pride happening right now, a
lot of Free Bird being played. We talked, we talked
a little bit before you joined earlier that the US
hockey team is like on an epic just party tour
right now, and believe they're going to is it the
State of the Union tonight? Is that right? Is that
what they're doing. They're they're going to that. So they
are just on an epic run. I'm sure they'll still
be maybe a little bit drunk at the State of
the Union, probably disappointed if they weren't a little bit.
Trump's probably expecting that.
Speaker 6: Did you see the press conference where they were up
there and they were like they got beers brought to them,
Oh yeah, oh yeah, and like they're the president.
Speaker 2: I'd be like one more, that's right. Well, they were
getting asked some like really dumb question too. Did you
so last night that there was a lot of videos
coming out. They were in a nightclub in Miami and
crowdsurfing the free bird. One of I think one of
the captains was actually singing a courtesy of the Red, White,
and Blue. Toby Keith rope us, right, yeah, who among us? So, yeah,
I don't I doubt they've slept. And they are certainly
American heroes. And I hope that, at least in their
home states, that each one of those players never has
to buy a beer again in their life. They shouldn't.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but well, you know, look, we need to actually
we need to speak on that. You always hear that,
you always hear like if you have like this huge game,
this huge moment, that guy's never gonna have to buy
a beer in that city again. Let me tell you something.
That's a lie. I've bought a lot of beers and
a lot of people during you know, the Florida game,
like that guy will never have to buy a beer.
Speaker 2: Yep, I see, I didn't want to bring that up.
Speaker 6: And I bring the beers.
Speaker 2: I bring the beers, I bring the beers.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so that's a lie.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember after after O seven National championship. I
remember hearing that too, like you're never going to buy
a beer again, A baton rouge, that's right. I buy
a lot of dis sekis we do. I never even
got a discount. I have a ten percenter nothing.
Speaker 6: I never had the opportunity to turn down a free
beer they've never even presented itself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. So US men's hockey enjoy it while
it lasts. But at some point in the near future,
you're gonna be swiping that credit card for your own beers.
I'm sorry, just gonna happen. Yeah, every now and then,
maybe you get one sent over from the booth next
to you. That's about it.
Speaker 6: Like, if I ever see any of them out, it's
on me, no doubt about it. But like the general public,
I'm not sure that they know about So here's what
needs to happen. President Trump needs to give them all
a gold card that says free beer for life and
sign it autograph on it, like like a you know,
like a good credit card like the the ax outs
like steal, like a steel gold card that says free
beer anywhere the United States or at least like you know,
during the rest of Trump's term something like that, you
can be free beer.
Speaker 2: But that's right, Yeah, the American taxpayers, we're going to
pay for your beer because you gave us such an beer.
I think I'd be okay with that. I mean, how
many beers can you drink? They are hockey.
Speaker 6: Players, Well they're hockey players, but I.
Speaker 2: Mean, and let me tell you something about people up north.
Like when I came from LSU, a fantastic party school,
right fantastic, And you know, learned how to drink my
beer at.
Speaker 6: LSU when you were twenty one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well as soon as I turned twenty one, it's
first one cracked it up, and I went to Wisconsin
and I kind of learned a new level there is
and and people kind of in Louisiana get a little
upset at this. The people up north, there's not a
lot to do, like half the year, so that's all.
They get really good at that. And there is a
lot of the bias getting drank up north. So most
of these hockey players are from areas like that, and
they're really they can do. They can put down a lot,
a lot, Like we're talking about casers. Casers at the.
Speaker 6: Time I went to Green Bay last year for the Draft,
I can see them staying inside and drinking a lot
of beer.
Speaker 2: Every like every block in a neighborhood pretty much has
like something that looks like a house and it's a
local it's the local bar. But it's like every block
it's like every eight houses has a local bar.
Speaker 6: Basically, yeah, that's exactly how it felt. Yes, I did
find out the teams that are playing in Guadalajara.
Speaker 2: Okay, the group.
Speaker 6: The group is Colombia, Mexico, and South Korea.
Speaker 2: Now yeah, yeah, they can protect themselves.
Speaker 5: South Korea. That's like work for them.
Speaker 6: North Korea.
Speaker 2: South Korea, well, they got to deal with the North.
They're good.
Speaker 3: I mean, Colombia has their cartels that they deal.
Speaker 2: With perfect period. So they got like fake fake nukes
flying over their heads all the time.
Speaker 3: They'll be all right.
Speaker 6: And then there's still the fourth team is still a
group of I believe three teams that's trying to five still, so.
Speaker 2: It'd be funny.
Speaker 6: It feels like, but I'm that's just gonna play and
that's not like the I guess that's not like the
group that's together. That's the group that's playing in gudalajaras
I know, I know Koreas in Group A. I believe
Mexico is in Group A. But like you said, I mean,
those teams do feel like they can probably handle most situations.
Speaker 2: So somebody in the mean the chat go South just asked,
was the video of cash Betel chugging beers with the
US team. Real, Oh yeah, that was.
Speaker 3: That was actually okay because I that was Ai either because.
Speaker 2: I'm doing people saying it's like a deep face.
Speaker 3: Well no, no, no, no, I just could. I couldn't tell
because I'm doing this thing for li where like I
stay off of social media during certain hours. So I
just like saw it passingly and it looked a little
fake to me.
Speaker 4: But I just like, well, because nowadays it's smart to.
Speaker 5: Just not believe anything you see on the internet.
Speaker 2: Everything, question everything. I'm pretty sure it was.
Speaker 3: Someone commented, They're like, we're never finding Nancy Guthrie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did say that.
Speaker 6: That's the whole story.
Speaker 2: Who's gonna be our correspondent in the Fox offer?
Speaker 3: Want like all the conspiracy correspondent?
Speaker 2: Uh what so what part? Like? I don't like not
the whole thing of him being is like question to
be Ai because he did Trump on the phone, right
is it just is it just him the chugging of.
Speaker 3: The beer chugging it looked a little okay. I got
maybe because he just looked so out of place, but
I was like, this can't be real.
Speaker 2: Look cool, don't look cool doing this? Fitting in he
did look cool.
Speaker 5: People criticized him because that's what people do, but.
Speaker 2: It was awesome.
Speaker 4: Imagine the horror showing pride in the US country.
Speaker 2: The horror.
Speaker 6: Speaking, I don't know that I would try to go
toe for toe with that group drinking beer.
Speaker 2: After that moment, though. Yeah, but you want to be like.
Speaker 6: That's an elite beer drinking situation right there.
Speaker 2: But how many times in your life if you are
not a sports person, like, if you're not an athlete,
do you have a chance to become one of the
boys in a sweet moment like that? So if you're
the director of the FBI and you have that moment,
you seize it. You take that moment.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if they offer it to me, it's on the site. Yeah,
it's not even a question. Oh yeah, Like whatever number
they tell me we're drinking, I'm gonna make sure I
get to that number. I might not be in a
good place after that, but I'm not letting that group down.
Speaker 2: Not letting that group down after that. Like, you'd be
surprised how far a little American pride can take you
in that number count a dead soldier count?
Speaker 6: Sure, I'm telling you that's true.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Pride, and speaking of the World Cup, this segment,
we're kind of all over the place, which is a
classic US. How is the USA team shaping up leading
into the World Cup?
Speaker 6: They're in good form right now. There was there was
a bumpy, bumpy little portion there during kind of qualifying
and some friendlies that they had, but they've been playing
much better as of late. Their stars have been playing
really good on their club teams as well, so much
better than it looked like it was going to be
the group that they got in. I don't want to
call it easy because every time somebody does that, but
it's certainly not like the group of death right, and
so they have very winnable games. As I said, they're
in great form. I think they've won or I know
they hadn't lost in their last five matches. They've beaten Japan,
who's a good team. Uruguay is a good team, Paraguay
is a good team. I think they drew with Ecuador,
beat Australia, so they've beaten some good teams in the
last couple of matches. Again, their stars are playing really
well at the club level for some of the biggest
clubs in Europe. So I'm trying to find the other
teams they're in their group right now. I know they
got Belgium coming up like a warm up, so like
over the next couple of uh, like you know, leading
into it, you'll have they play Belgium and March Portugal
in March, and then I'm trying to think that. I
think they played Germany kind of like the final lead in.
I believe Australia Paraguay is in the group there and
then they still have to find out the winner. I
believe it's playoff c so the winner of that will
also be in the group.
Speaker 2: So when do they kind of put their club teams
away and then start fully focusing on Teamosa.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean again, they'll have some international friendlies against
Belgium and Portugal, which are really good teams, and that's
in March, so they'll come in for that and then
they'll go back to their club team and then they'll
come back in for a friendly I think at the
end of the season in May, so I believe. I
believe it's the end of May, and another gutt Senegal
at the end of May, and then like I said,
they got Germany at the beginning of June, so they'll
go through their club season until probably like the middle
portion of May, and then as soon as that's over
all of those players that are, you know, all in
the twenty six I believe the number that's going up to,
they'll go and they'll be a part of those friendly
matches kind of leading in against Senegal and Germany. So
they'll be there. I mean, there's no there's no break.
It's like you you finish your club team in May
and then you go directly to the United States men's
national team.
Speaker 2: All right, well, there you go. Here's our World Cup
preview right there, there's our cartel overview and good stuff.
And I think going to them.
Speaker 3: For letting me have this opportunity to talk about the
Mexican cartel.
Speaker 2: The first thing you said this morning, Yeah, when you
walk down, I think we can all agree going in
the World Cup that we hope Canada loses every single
game by fifty. That's how I feel right now.
Speaker 6: Has kind of become like a nice little rival in
soccer too. Actually, like a little a little juicy detail there.
Speaker 7: There may.
Speaker 2: Whoa wow, wow.
Speaker 4: The cartel cutter cut the feed, guys. I'm sorry, I
was monitoring it. Let's go on, So.
Speaker 2: Jake, you're Jake Cuff frozen Jake.
Speaker 3: Hey guys, Okay, the cartel got you for a second.
Speaker 2: You didn't pay for the Good Wife. You got the
free in room life.
Speaker 6: My phone actually said that they called me from was unstable.
Speaker 2: It is always great.
Speaker 5: It's specified Internet.
Speaker 6: It did. It's a fifty five whatever your number is
is unstable. That's crazy. And also, so I was in
that room yesterday and wanted to throw my computer across
the room because the Wi Fi in that room that
you're in is the worst Wi Fi I've ever been
a part of. So yeah, I think it.
Speaker 2: Was probably there. You go, all right, all right, let's
go to break. Thanks for all those those tidbits, and
I promise you we probably will try not to talk
about any more soccer for as long as we're here
until the World Cup. But there we go, laughing. All right,
We're gonna go to break. Stay tuned right here, off
the bench.
Speaker 1: Off the bench, all I want.
Speaker 2: To tell you about Gordon McKernon Injury Attorneys, the G team.
Be a part of the G team. We've seen all
the fantastic work that Gordon mccernon does with all the
LSU Athletics. How he gives gives to them, makes brings
the players in as part of the G Team. We
see how Gordon mccernin gives back to the community all
over the state of Louisiana different times of the year.
We've seen all the different giveaways they've done and all
the great stuff he does in the community. But at
the heart of everything, Gordon mccernon injury attorneys are here
to fight for you. If you've been injured, it doesn't
matter where, how you've been injured in a car accident,
maybe it's on the job called Gordon mccurney. The G
Team be a part of it. Get Gordon, get it done,
Get exactly what you deserve. Let them fight for you,
because not many people know what to do when they're injured. Well,
Gordon mcurny's team does get the G guarantee and that's
what sets them apart from other losing a personal injury
atorneys at G guarantee, there's no feed for them unless
they win. Go to get Gordon dot.
Speaker 1: Com smiles from the locker room to the airwaves. It's
off the bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: We're definitely gonna have another.
Speaker 5: To wait for the rejoin. Yeah, well for your mic
to be on, I.
Speaker 4: Will say that button will say that she she is
known to go to break twice, so it's not.
Speaker 3: I'm notorious for back to that commercial.
Speaker 5: I understand your caution.
Speaker 2: I know, well, see I was late putting my headphones on.
Speaker 3: M HM and this.
Speaker 2: But we're definitely gonna have another boop of real after
this week.
Speaker 3: Let me start putting time stamps down, no doubt.
Speaker 2: Welcome back here off the bench raising Kaye Studio, Tuesday morning,
a twenty four. I' want to tell you about a
friends that's Central Plumbing. Central Plumbing in dot Org, the
plumbing experts in the Greater Batner's area, a pain family.
They've been doing it another really really long time and
they have seen everything, whether it's commercial, whether it's residential.
They have seen every emergency, every situation. There's no job
too big or too small for their team. And they
got a great team over there and they can handle
anything bigger little. Also, how about twenty four to seven
emergency service. So your plumber, no matter the time, no
matter the emergency, no matter the day, whatever is happening,
it doesn't matter if it's overtime in a USA versus
Canada hockey game in the Olympics. That'd be kind of
rude to call them at that point, but they would
do it. They'd come out there and they'd fix that toilet,
gas line, gas leak, whatever it is. Central Plumbing, Central Plumbing,
dot Org. Go check them out. You've got a project.
You want a tankless water heater, I want a little
powder room or about it, whatever it is, it doesn't matter.
Go check them out. Central Plumbing, Central Plumbing, dot Org.
Hey Hester, you gotta pulled up. Yeah, sorry, I kind
of like look at this TV to see, like what's happening.
I didn't see him.
Speaker 6: Your boy, Do you say bigger little instead of bigger small?
Speaker 2: Potentially? I say, I don't think.
Speaker 6: I've ever heard it said that way, Like any project
bigger little.
Speaker 2: Well little would be the bigger little would be the
opposite of big. Small, would be the opposite of large.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Right, But that's like when people are describing like
somebody that can do any job about it was a profession.
It's like, you know they can do it bigger, bigger small,
not bigger little. Never heard that one before.
Speaker 2: Interesting, What I think we should probably because I think
we'd all agree that little is the opposite of big,
small is the opposite of large. I think I don't know.
Speaker 3: If I ever put this much thought into that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't put a lot of thought the things
that I say, Jake, So I don't believe you. Thank you,
thank you. So I got a third D eight on the
wonder lick, not a not a huge. Can't take that
away from me. Hey, uh, former teammate, your boy, former
quarterback with the Indianapolis Colts, Philip Rivers, his son Gunner,
committed to n C State. Hey do you see that house? Sweet?
Is that? I think that's awesome.
Speaker 3: They have a hand signal too, they.
Speaker 2: Do, see. That's that's why he went there.
Speaker 4: Was Texas and TCU or his other finelists, so he
had to have a hand signal.
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 6: I I honestly thought like he was going to go
to Auburn. It just that Philip really wanted to go
there when he was coming out of high school. Philip
has a daughter that goes there already. It's in the
state of Alabama, And sometimes I always wonder, like, you know,
your dad was a star there, like Philip got his
jersey retired his before his last game there, like they did,
like they didn't even have the way he started as
a freshman, played all four years, his jersey was retired,
So like, you know, I don't know, like sometimes do
you want that pressure Some people do. Some people want
all that pressure that lineage. But I think it's awesome.
That's a great spot for Gunner. It's a huge get
for NC State. Gunner's a top ten quarterback in his class.
When we were down to Mobile for the Senior Bowl,
I was getting out of the car with it was
me new heislin'doring and so we're pulling off up and
the NC State head coach is walking out of out
of practice and practice had just kind of started, and
Rick's like, where are you going. He's like, oh, well,
we got to recruit. We got to go see like
it's in the area. And of course me, I'm like Gunner.
He's like, yeah, I'm gonna go see Gunnar Rivers, uh,
you know, because they're right across the bay and Fair Hope.
He's like, uh, We're gonna go watch him tonight play
a basketball game. We're gonna sit down with him. He's
like man, we really hope, like you know, our connection
with his dad obviously is really going to put it
across the finish line there. Uh so they did the
full court press on Gunner Rivers. So yeah, that's a
that's a sweet deal.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 6: I remember Gunner when he was in a car seat.
To the fact that he's committing to NC State makes
me feel incredibly old. But congratulations to him and the Hall.
Speaker 2: Of fam I think the the all the rumors and
I remember seeing like I think a special on the
car seat of a big sprinter van. Right, did he
any famous for like driving, like commuting in an hour
because he got the big sprinter van for once.
Speaker 6: Once they move, Yeah, once they moved to LA, he
stayed in San Diego and he had like a film
studio basically in the back of the sprinter van where
he would watch the tape, him and Callen Clemens, who
was the back of the quarterback at the time, and
like they just hired somebody that would drive them so
they would watch their tape on their way up to
LA and their way back home. So they still got
their film in but they didn't have to move their family.
Speaker 2: But oh, that sounds like I appreciate.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, me and you, we'd be done. I'm pretty
sure that Philip still has the same King Ranch F
two fifty that he had back when we were playing
for the Chargers together, because I know for a fact
because I saw it like four years ago down at
the beach. It was still in his driveway and I'm like,
that's not the same King Ranch. He's like, yeah it is.
Speaker 2: Hey, you know what, some people just Tommy tough nuts
like that, Like they make new cars and you can
afford it. Just get you a new car, like you
don't have to run it into the ground. Oh man,
So yeah, you can get one where the ac works
all the time, but.
Speaker 6: Probably get the windows.
Speaker 2: He's good, Oh man, that's fine. Well, I mean it
doesn't matter, like if you are a big Philip Rivers
fan like Hester is or not. Like the fact that
a son is going to follow in the footsteps to
the same D one college n C State is just
a badass story and at a and a cool like
lineage right there. And I would assume that after his
children are kind of not playing or whatever, doesn't have
that responsibility there, that he would certainly be in line
to continue his head coaching journey elsewhere if he wants to,
he might have to get a new f two fifty.
He might have to get a new car, Like if
he was a head coach at Buffalo, he'd probably have
to get a car where a heater worked. So, uh,
that's a cool story. It's just a bad ass, badass
story when a when a sun can and follow in
the footsteps and go do that, whether you want to
chase that lineage at the same college or not, it's
a really cool story. Again, go for the Rivers family.
Speaker 6: So yeah, I can't even I can't even imagine that
they they think of like if if Huck played for
the Tigers or one of my four boys played, Like
I honestly like Katie's dad played for Louise Attack and
she had a bunch of cousins that played for Louisian Attack,
And I'm like, man, if moss sons got to play there,
and like they got to share that with a family member,
like that would be awesome. So like, I can't imagine
going to the school that you played at, playing the
same position, wearing the same number, hell throw in the
same same way, the same way that like three people
in the world throw that way and they're all last name.
Speaker 2: Does he throw it like that?
Speaker 6: Very it's very similar. Yeah, it's not quite as side
arm as Philip, but it.
Speaker 2: Is send him to like a regular quarterback school, like
let him throw. But you're one of one, fell up,
you're one on one with that motion because it's pretty brutal,
one of one that But you're right that it is
gonna be tough to play. It is tough to play
in a building on a field where you look up
and you see your dad's number like in the rafters.
That's that's a tough place to play. It's a lot
of expectation to live up. So I hope hopefully he does,
hopefully has a great career. And uh, you know college
football these days, who knows you're committed to somewhere and
you sign somewhere, what does it really mean? Who knows
where that journey will end. But we wish luck in
a really cool story and hopefully Philip also continue says
his coaching journeys. I'd like to see him coach at
a higher level as well. All Right, we're gonna go
to break, we're gonna come back, We're gonna keep talking.
There's some NFL news out there, there's some Combine news
out there, there's LSU baseball. You know we're gonna get
that McNeese breakdown. Yeah, we get the full roster breakdown
for McNeese.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you told me that you had it.
Speaker 2: Did a deep dive right here auth thementrum after bench.
All right. You know, in today's world, in the world
of working in an office and getting a job done

Speaker 1: Com two thousand and seven, Champs Purple and Gold to
the core. This is off the Bench with Hester and Flynn,
Matt and Rouge's go to for all things Louisiana sports.
Speaker 6: Look at that.
Speaker 2: That's the way you do it. You all right, welcome
back here off the bench. Did you see that? I
waited for the drop that time like a radio pro.
Speaker 5: Look at you.
Speaker 2: We're getting better, guys, constant and never any self improvement.
That's what we all should try for. That's what we
just did.
Speaker 6: I just had to explain to Nick Underhill about Indianapolis
not being on Central time and then being on Eastern
time this time of year because they don't take daylight savings,
because he wrote me like around I don't know, like
nine eastern, so eighth Central, and it's like, hey, I'm
in a you know, a combo about you know, the draft.
Because he's here in Indy too. He's like, I'm in
a combo. I have to push a little bit. And
then he wrote me. He's like, hey, I'm good to go.
I'm like, well, your spot's in thirty minutes. And I
could tell he was confused, and so he'll be on
the show. Don't worry. We got it all figured out.
I let him know that it's this one city is
Eastern time zone.
Speaker 2: It's weird because I'm looking at we were talking about
that earlier. Yeah, we talked about it earlier and I
just looked it up. Now this is the internet talking.
This isn't me quoting. I said, how many states in
the ark you never did that? How many states do
you yet? Thank you? How many states in the United
States don't observed saving something? And it says Arizona, right,
only Hawaii and most of Arizona. It says nothing about Indianapolis.
Speaker 6: Well, I think you said states you should you should
try cities.
Speaker 5: Now that's probably not all of Indiana.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's just indian indian Appa.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how fast Awkwards is that?
Speaker 4: That is really dumb? But you drop twenty minutes down
the road, you're an hour different.
Speaker 2: Right East or west, north or south. This doesn't make
any sense.
Speaker 4: We were talking last week and doctor ethwhich was judging
us hold he was in the studio.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, leapyears are stupid because February is twenty eight days.
Take two of the thirty one months, slide it in
there in February, you got thirty days across the board.
Speaker 2: Boom done. Leapers are dumb. My brother in law is
a leap year baby, so.
Speaker 5: Does he celebrate on the twenty eighth or morch first.
Speaker 2: He only has one birthday every four years.
Speaker 5: He's a he's like ten years old.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tiny.
Speaker 6: I don't know. Trying to find some information on this.
All I know is I'm an Eastern time zone guys.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, I do know that. We I think last
time Jake was out, we started talking about uh demonyms.
You remember that doesn't matter what city you are from Indianapolis,
you are a Hoosier.
Speaker 3: So you're not a You're an honorary Hoosier.
Speaker 2: You're an honorary Hoosier. This week, they're not. There's not
like Indianapolis and or Indianapolis site. It's just everybody's a Hoosier,
all right. It came from the came from the White House.
Speaker 6: I'm a national champ. Yeah again two times.
Speaker 3: I think we've renamed a couple because we decided that
they would sound better.
Speaker 5: But I don't remember what it.
Speaker 4: Was like La Bucky and yeah, one of them.
Speaker 2: But sure, the you know, the federal government came down
and said, anybody in Indianapolis, no matter of the city
indian Nope, not at all. Who's your who's your?
Speaker 6: That's tough, daddy.
Speaker 2: Are you still typing over there, Jake? Have you figured
this out?
Speaker 6: Is it just trying to figure this out? I'm trying
to figure this out. I think it said change. I
think it said it changed in two thousand and six
because of how dumb it was. But like you look
at the time zone, hap and it goes straight up
and then all of a sudden, it takes like a
hard left to miss Indianapolis and then goes like right
back to the right. It's like a triangle cut out
just for Indianapolis.
Speaker 2: I don't know, like I think we not on purpose.
I don't think we might have just fact checked Jake.
We might have just checked him. I think they might
observe it. He's in the Eastern Times and he is
definitely an eastern time zone. I had always known Indianapolis
to be an Eastern.
Speaker 6: Oh, here it goes. As of twenty twenty six, no
cities in Indiana opt out of daylight savings time since
a prol of two thousand and six. Now the entire state,
including Indianapolis and the twelve counties on Central Time, observed
daylight savings time. Before two thousand and six, most of
Indiana did not observe daylight savings times, which was a
long standing point of confusion. Yeah, no crap, But they
changed to align with the rest of the country. So
partially wrong, partially right. They once were on their own clock,
if you will, but it has since changed, so now
they're permanently in the Eastern time zone, where they used
to be half the year at Central, half the year
in Eastern.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not the first time we've spread misinformation here
on this show.
Speaker 6: Well, actually it's not misinformation. It happened. There was a thing.
It's not a thing anymore. That's what are we doing here, guys?
This is dumb. What are we doing?
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 6: So it's like you ever seen Robin Hood men and
tights with Dave Chappelle. It's like like, we can't cross
this this body of water, and he's like, what are
we what are you talking about? It's like jumping back
and forth. It's not exactly the Great Mississip, like that's
how people fell. When they were in Indiana, they'd being
several times Zone on the right foot, Eastern time zone
on the left foot, and they were like, this is dumb.
We got to figure this out. We got to make
these changes. So I'm glad they did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of dumb things out there, but
at least they got to figure it out. It's a
good job, and I'm glad we got this. This figured out,
this whole situation. So we're gonna be on Eastern.
Speaker 6: Well, let me tell you, Nick Underhill thought he missed
the interview and he's still not due for seventeen more minutes.
So I'm glad we figured that out more than anything.
Speaker 2: Uh, speaking of movies, quick off the top of your head,
we're going to get into this a little bit more
an hour three. What is your top couple war movies
of all time?
Speaker 6: Dunkirk's my favorite, that's your favorite? I love it? I
love Dunkirk and I know I'm in the minority there,
but I love it.
Speaker 3: Say I was a little, a little, just a little
underwhelmed by Duncan Harry Styles.
Speaker 5: I love Harry Styles.
Speaker 6: A lot of a lot of people say that, and
that's maybe the more popular opinion. I loved it. Me
and my me and my older brother went and saw it.
It was incredible. Still, I've watched Dunkirk like seventeen times. Hell,
I watched it on the plane on the way home
from the super Bowl this year, and if it was
if it's on the plane this year, I'll probably on
this trip, I'll watch it again.
Speaker 2: I love it fair enough, So dunk Kirk number one.
So I'm trying to go through the list because there's
so many. It's like asking somebody what their favorite song is,
Like there's you know, there's there's no wrong answer in this.
I got three that popped off on the top of
my head were three male Gibson movies. It was Patriot,
The Patriot, Brave Heart, and we were Soldiers. Those are
like three that just popped in my head immediately. And
I think it's like some recency bias when we.
Speaker 3: Were war Like wat Platoon is awesome, A great cast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we had talked about first segment.
Speaker 6: Any war movie Okay, not a movie, but.
Speaker 3: Brothers is awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I mean, that's he can't specific Yeah, so
we in the first segment we had talked about, like,
if there's any topic to ever bring back a tier
list for, it would be like your favorite war movie
of all time and have a pretty nice conversation about it.
So like, yeah, I went a lot of mel Gibson,
like mel Gibson great and recency bias for me. We
were in uh last week when we were in Colorado's skin.
I'm sitting there and try to like get myself sleepy,
and I can't just like turn off the lights to night.
I gotta have something to plan. So you go to
like a new house, you go to a hotel, or
you go to we were in like a like a
rental house. So you're in a new TV and you're like, Okay,
they don't have like the cable setup, so you got
to log into your own Netflix or whatever it is,
and so you have to find something that way to
watch and like, all right, what's something I can just
like go to sleep too? And I turned on I
made a bad mistake and I put it on Brave
Heart and I was like, it's got like some good
like music in the background would be good soothing out man.
Three hours later, I'm watching them screen freedom.
Speaker 6: Ye take.
Speaker 2: That's right, and I'm watching them you have Freedom, and
it was I was crying. I was just emotional. It's
been a while since I've like watched it cover to
cover and it was fantastic.
Speaker 3: Does Ingloria's Bastards count because that's okay, that is my
favorite of all time war movie.
Speaker 6: Count zero thirty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it takes place during wartime jags, you know, thirty
definitely counts. Yeah, those based in a military operation black.
Speaker 2: Hawk Down, black Hawk Down, great saving Private Ryan. Do
we say that? Yeah? I did. Yeah, she'll ever watch
like the old I think it's like ten hour movie.
Uh Gettysburg. I think they used to used to go
rent it, like you rented at like Blockbuster or something,
and it was five VHS tapes. It's like a stack
of them like this. It's like, yeah, I'm gonna rent
this baby, not bringing it back in two days though.
Get ready for that late fee.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right. The greatest skate I mean classic, So
the last of the Mohicans.
Speaker 2: If we're going war, Yeah, that's it's fantastic, Lewis.
Speaker 3: How about three hundred three hundred fire?
Speaker 2: Absolutely there, I mean, I mean, there's there's I mean
that counts a little Roy definitely counts.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 6: The first thirty minutes of Full Metal Jacket, Yeah, I'm
not wait, the entire movie, but by god, the first
thirty minutes.
Speaker 4: Right, once they're done with basic, it goes downhill.
Speaker 5: But yeah, from the beginning to that it's awesome.
Speaker 6: Actually, actually the helicopter scene and then it goes downhill. Yeah, yeah,
I mean it's you know, it's pretty harsh, but it's
you know, electric factory.
Speaker 2: All right. Hey, look a little bit of clock integrity here.

fantastic job. Give them a call, talk them about your

price points and kat Zy interiors. Outdoor living how about
the little outdoor motorized shades as well. Turn that outdoor
living space into an extension of your home. Open the doors,

Speaker 1: Off the Bench, locked in on LSU football twenty four
to seven. You're listening to Off the Bench.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back here Off the Bench, closing out
our number two Here on a Tuesday, listening to some
eighties music. Got Jacob Hesser live on a split screen
with us. I think for what do you go this
last segment with us?
Speaker 6: Yeah, you got Nick coming up there about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good little Saints action happening.
Speaker 6: Hey, he's also in, as I told.
Speaker 2: You, Okay, he's a little screwed up on the time.
Speaker 6: A little screwed up all the time, so make sure
you give him a hard time. And then you know
he's got his ear to the ground, so he probably
already knows who the Saints are drafting.
Speaker 2: I was just looking at the combine schedule and the
combin has changed a little bit since you and I
were there. We thought it was long before.
Speaker 6: Well that was twenty years ago.
Speaker 2: So yeah, just a little bit. I mean we're pretty young, uh,
running backs, quarterbacks, wide receivers. They register today, it's their orientation.
They have team interviews starting today, their on field workouts,
Jake Saturday, Today's Tuesday. That's four nights until our on
field workout. You know what they bent. They don't BNCH
press until Sunday, So well you know what you knew.
Speaker 6: Who ain't gonna be here on Sunday.
Speaker 2: Boy, So you ain't not going to be seeing how
Nusmyer's spending that day. But how ridiculous is that they
come in on a Tuesday and they don't get on
the field till Saturday. I think, I think you and
I we went, we had to. It was three nights,
which seemed like a long time. This is four nights
before they get on the field, and then they got
to wait another night to like finish out their bench
press and depart and all that good stuff, which is, uh,
that's wild behavior. I don't know what you can get
accomplished then, but Jake, we appreciate the time. Buddy, good
luck this week. We'll see you on the other side.
Speaker 6: I see you tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Off the bench
