like he does.
Speaker 6: It's delayed at nine No, That's when it led.
Speaker 5: It was so funny.
Speaker 4: It became a joke. He would go on, vacation, look whatever,
go do you if you have days, go take them?
Like the like the good part about like what we
had going on was like he hosted a show, so
if I was out easy for him. I host every
show but this one. So if I had to host,
like it was easy, like we just we do it solo, right,
like take your days, but I you know, maybe some
heads up, maybe some heads up, because is like I'm
going to format a show different than he did, And
so he would.
Speaker 5: It was like in absolutes nine pm.
Speaker 4: Any vacation that he went on, Oh my god, guys,
I've messed up our flights. It's not till actually tomorrow
when I come back.
Speaker 7: And it's like, dude, like do you want to take tomorrow?
Speaker 4: Always hey boy, And it was never like hey, we're delayed,
like veryre It was never it was like, oh my god,
I booked our flights on the wrong day. We're actually
not coming home till the day after I said I
was coming back everything every time. But but with T Bob,
it was like like if you say that, like, dude,
come on, man, like, just just take a day with him.
I'm I'm honestly like with his schedule planning abilities, I'm
like that tracks, he probably can probably put it in
the wrong date.
Speaker 6: Oh you loved them, nonetheless? Oh yeah, But we make
this commitment to you guys as a wolf pack.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 6: It may be at nine PM when I tell you, but.
Speaker 5: I promise you you.
Speaker 6: All our little group chat will know within five minutes
of of me knowing. Okay, fair enough, fair enough, fair enough.
And even if I'm delayed on Sunday, Hey guys, delayed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't let me catch you posting pictures of you
at the beach when you say you're delayed, though.
Speaker 6: Well, what else you supposed to do if you're delayed?
Speaker 5: Sit in the airport, win in room, go to Chili's
in the airport.
Speaker 6: You sit there and you'd be miserable. Dude, Chi that's
a good point.
Speaker 5: Are you kidding me? Like, I'm not even gonna lie.
Speaker 4: Like sometimes, like Katie and I like if we before,
like when we did actually travel, it was like I'm
not mad that I got these extra two hours and
these Chili's apps are two.
Speaker 6: For one, so that the chips and salsa, I'll I'll
tell you what from a guy that loves salt, like
I built a whole business base love salt. Sometimes the
chili's it's like you can show some restraints on the salt.
Speaker 7: I'm kind of with you on sometimes.
Speaker 6: Times, but every now and then you get some.
Speaker 3: On the chips.
Speaker 6: I want to make I wanted to.
Speaker 7: I want to, I want to like have the little
eye twitch.
Speaker 4: I go to a certain Chick fil a in town
because whoever pours the salt on the fries is heavy handed,
and I'm like, this is my dog and I know
he's going to pour great salt on those fries.
Speaker 6: My kids do the same thing I did as well
when I was a kid. When I when we go
to Mexican restaurant, get the chips and sauce, so I
I'd individually take the chip, but little salt, and that
didn't like sometimes I look. I wanted to look like
you could build snow angel on that. Yeah, my kids
are the same thing, but even for me, a man
who loves salt, chili is a little too heavy handed.
That might be the worst take you ever had, the
worst worst, it's not even the worst today.
Speaker 7: Worse than field pitch. I know you'll have some.
Speaker 5: No, that's just weird.
Speaker 6: That's a real take.
Speaker 4: It's just know we always do that. It's it's like
I have not gotten him over to the beautiful game yet.
Speaker 6: I respect soccer. Yeah, I love it, even coaches, so
coach it. You did, Hey, kids, meeting at the soccer
field tomorrow, four thirty practice. Yeah, wear your shirt, bring
your cleats. I'll bring the ball, you kick it, and.
Speaker 5: I'll be on the pitch with our kids and our boots.
Speaker 2: You had a pitch with my boots on, I wouldn't
know where the pitch was, and i'd have some Martins.
Speaker 6: Do Martin show up on a baseball field with Doc Martin?
Speaker 7: Doc Martin plays like soccer and I'm in like the
parent group, and I get sometuff from Jake. I'm like,
I guess we don't.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, listening all that open your minds, guys, geez.
Speaker 6: You just make fun of all the listeners right there. Wow, No,
the three I didn't say it. We just made fun
of all of our listeners.
Speaker 4: I'll make fun of anybody that just won't open their
mind to just a different sport.
Speaker 6: It's a great sport.
Speaker 4: I don't like golf, and I know that's a very
very cold take. And get I get all the intrigue
with golf. I get every bit of it.
Speaker 6: We don't call things stupid and golf, I get it.
That's dumb little names.
Speaker 5: You don't think. You don't think there's a dumb You
don't think there's a lot of dumb things that happen
in golf.
Speaker 6: Mulligan is not like a comparable term with some.
Speaker 5: Of the rules in golf. You don't think there's some
dumb stuff in there.
Speaker 6: There is some o there's dumb rules in everything. I'm
just talking about the dumb words he used in soccer.
Love soccer, because not trying to find anybody.
Speaker 3: I feel silly saying mulligan, But it's.
Speaker 6: Not a comparable word, like a boot and a cleat,
Like you.
Speaker 7: Ain't getting a mulligan anyway, So I don't even know
what a mulligan is, Like a retry, like oh my bad,
like slide type of thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like we're gonna play straight up. You get a
Mulligan aside.
Speaker 3: I would need to tell the Mulligan's if I was
gonna go breakfast.
Speaker 6: Take him so mad? Right now, listeners or Max, I
don't know.
Speaker 3: Anything about not one thing.
Speaker 5: Great for a nap on Sunday. Hey, US Open next weekend.
Speaker 3: I can't wait.
Speaker 6: So jacked. I thought that was tennis. Uh there's two Okay,
so there's yeah. Yeah, but we're gonna we're gonna talk
a lot about it next week. Stay tuned.
Speaker 5: You'll be talking a lot about it.
Speaker 7: Open with the College World Series. Guy Palmer.
Speaker 5: Oh, oh my god, Utopia.
Speaker 4: He's gonna be in Omaha too, right, Yeah, yeah, Oh, buddy,
oh man dream whatever peak is for Hunt, he's gonna
be at That's it, whatever it is.
Speaker 6: We gotta follow up.
Speaker 5: He won't have to call your a good Wood. Why
wait here we calling?
Speaker 8: Now?
Speaker 6: We got to follow up with John Peterson. Oh yeah,
said he's had his amateur status for a while now,
so professional. Listen to John Peterson, national championship winner here
at l s U professional golfer for a long time.
It was in the final group, I believe at a
US Open before. But he's been amateur now for a
couple of years, and he did a lot of the qualifiers.
He almost he was like all over all over the
Golf Network last weekend or two weekends ago, and there's
all these different qualifiers all over the different sectionals regions.
And he think he missed it in a playoff by one,
but he was a first alternate, and I think he
might have got in. I was checking out it last
night on on the Twitter machine. I couldn't completely tell
what was happening because he wasn't necessarily tweeting about it.
I think he might talk.
Speaker 5: He's a great follow as well on social media, always entertaining.
So we'll catch up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll catch up with him and see if he
got that done before we get to Devin snow aka
holding Mayo here in about six minutes from now.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 5: I did tease.
Speaker 4: I wanted to put some respect on someone's name on
LSU's campus, and that's Jay Johnson.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: A lot of people had a lot of takes. Oh
my gosh, she's playing coach. Oh he had the one
great year and a great roster and he's just gonna
go away.
Speaker 4: And even compared him to coach Miles, like all this talent,
he can only win one championship. If that's your take, Look,
you're open to your opinion, certainly, I just strongly disagree
with it. This man's got an over seven hundred winning
percentage at LSU, all right. He has now made the
College World Series two different times. He's never won less
than forty games at LSU, all right, now, I mean,
if we're doing the totality of the resume, I mean
he's College Rule Series runner up at Arizona, made a
College Orble Series his last year at Arizona. I mean
we could go the full resume, but just here at
LSU won over seven one hundred winning percentage, right, so
one eighty five and seventy seven seven oh six to
be exact, and I mean continues to build the roster,
continues to have great hits in the transfer portal, like
look at the other you know, nine in last couple
of games here in series, and guys that they brought
in through the portal that have been big help, you know,
obviously getting LSU to this point. What he's done in
high school recruiting, you know, giving guys the opportunity to
come to LSU and not go to the MLB Draft
because he is out there grinding right for nil money
and to make sure that the baseball team gets exactly
what they deserve and LSU's standard, which is the highest
in college baseball to have that matchup. So I just
want to give an adda boy to Jay Johnson and
all the bad takes that we've heard throughout this baseball
know who he was as a coach.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 4: I've been around a lot of coaches every different sport
and I don't use this very often, but he has
got some nick Saban in him, like he really does,
like from the way he addresses his team, from the
way that the smallest detail is the biggest detail, and
not micro managing, just because he wants to make sure
that every detail is covered. You can't drive by the
box and not see his car in the parking lot.
We took our youth baseball team there like on a random,
like Wednesday night during baseball season, and he was grinding tape.
I think it was before the Alabama series, right, he
was grinding taped. Dude comes out, talks to our youth
baseball team for a couple of minutes and then goes
right back into the film room like on a Wednesday night.
Man He is a grinder. He is somebody that has
been successful everywhere he's been. You can go back to
Point Loma. Guy was successful, Nevada successful, Arizona successful where
I first met him. And it's an assistant at the
University of San Diego. Successful getting big time players like
a Chris Bryant on campus.
Speaker 5: Man, you got a hell of a baseball coach here
in Baton Rouge.
Speaker 4: You can try to have some hot takes with and
you know, oh, he's like this guy's like that guy
and a one hit wonder. That's such a bad take
because this guy is here to stay. He's got a
great opportunity in Omaha yet again. And you look at
his records forty and twenty two, fifty four and seventeen,
forty three and twenty three, forty eight and fifteen this year.
You got a great one here in Baton Rouge. And
there's some people that are lagging behind to get on board.
I am fully on board. I haven't heard these these
takes bout it. Oh yeah, I mean, Jay is a dude, man,
you got it. You look at a coach the way
they just like themselves around a team, like just watching
watching the games, like he commands respect from them. They
are always they look prepared, and the discipline that they're
shown to keep talking about, like the discipine, they show
up the plate. Just from a baseball standpoint, just.
Speaker 6: They're disciplined and it shows out to a guy that
doesn't watch a lot of baseball what they've done. He
looks like he's out coached every single team that I've watched. Yeah,
so we're lucky to have it, dude. I mean, and
I know that your comparison of like, maybe not a comparison,
but same in the same sentence as a Nick Saban.
I know you don't take that light. No, and you've
been around this day. I didn't. I didn't know you
knew him in San Diego. Yeah, y'all kind of y'all
kind of go way way. Oh so our audience has
heard the story before, but quickly for you.
Speaker 4: So we were working out at the University of San
Diego during the NFL lockout because you couldn't go to
the facility, So we went back and forth. We kind
of started out at San Diego State, and you know,
they were also using their fields and they didn't have
the space. And Philip reach out to the University of
San Diego, like you know, you can come use all
our stuff, Like the field is yalls, like, go ahead
and use it. Because like they practiced in their football
field like a natural stadium. Then they had these side
turf fields and so they gave us full access, I
mean basketball court, like whatever we want him.
Speaker 5: And there was this assistant coach like just out there
like working hard. I'm like, who is this guy?
Speaker 4: Like who is this dude? Like this dude's always here,
like we're if we're here, he's here. And so it
was Jay Johnson r M. Yeah, as as an assistant.
So like whenever the job came open, I was like, man,
I don't think they will because it just didn't. He
was a West Coast guy. I was like, they're not
gonna look at Jay. Man, he's at Arizona, but he's
doing big things. I'm like, man, if you get that
guy to baton rouge, I'm telling you I know how
that guy works.
Speaker 6: Did you like put it together after the after he
got hired, You're like, wait a minute.
Speaker 4: The guy that it was in the build up, So
because I thought his career because like I had conversations
with him, like man, it's got sharp, you know, just
an assistant and he hadn't been a head coach yet.
Speaker 5: And in the build up, if you'll go.
Speaker 4: Back and listen to OTV, I'm like, man, there's this
guy in Arizona that I whole grinding as an assistant,
Like I think he do pretty well here, right, And
I didn't think would happen because again, he had always
been on the West coast. He's front like, that's who
he was, and a lot of times, you know how
it is like is he a fit like? And he
go from that to the sec and is he gonna?
Speaker 9: Man?
Speaker 5: He is fitting then some And.
Speaker 6: Obviously he's got a good head on his shoulders because
he said I had a great question last week. So
got my first great question from him. The shout out
long Live Jay. Fun's gonna put that audio file on
the frame, just the.
Speaker 5: Waves of the audio file.
Speaker 6: Social media bio Ja told me I had a good question.
Speaker 3: I think he just wanted to make fun of you.
Speaker 6: Thank you. I felt real good in the moment, and
afterwards I was like.
Speaker 5: Hey, you got anyway, you got two great questions? Did Scott?
The other one was under hill?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 3: You might have got three and said it to.
Speaker 8: Three.
Speaker 6: Ain't an accident, ain't an accident? Okay? For what, Jay
was just trying to make fun of you, Bob. So
I could have asked him like, what what colors the sky?
Great question, yeah, Scott, my boy. So I don't know
if that one counts, but I got one. N Yeah,
first time I've ever talked to Nick.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he had nothing to gain by saying no, everything
to give though.
Speaker 2: I'm with you a thousand percent on J though, Like
he's my goat. I love Jay Johnson more than I
can put into words.
Speaker 4: Man, Like if I had, if I had a team,
and I'm not talking about baseball, football back a team, yeah,
and they're like, hey, you can go pick somebody to
lead this.
Speaker 5: Let me give me every day.
Speaker 2: I love when he goes out there and talks to
them on the mound because sometimes you can kind of
read his lips a little bit and I feel like
I know exactly what he's saying. Like man, I just
love like his approach, his philosophy, Everything about Jay I
love and I hope and think that he'll be at.
Speaker 3: LSU for a very very long time. I mean, yeah,
there's many more Omaha parents.
Speaker 5: When you talk with Jay, like he realizes where he's at.
Speaker 4: To your point, Yeah, he knows that this is the
top tier job in all of college baseball and there's
no other place, Like there's not a man, if this
school comes calling, you gotta be there's not that. Not
that so not in his mind either, Like you talk
with him off the record and he's like, I'm coaching
LSU baseball, right skip Bertman came in my office today.
Speaker 5: Are you kidding me? Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Like, so he's still like he appreciates where he's at
and that you know, ain't nobody gonna outwork him.
Speaker 5: I dream.
Speaker 2: I would like to add to it, though, I want
everybody to apologize to his counterpart Nate Yevsky as well.
He is going with the fourth program in his coaching tenure.
Fourth program he's going to the College World Series with Yeah.
Like now sixteen regional appearances, seven supers, and now six
trips to the college were series for coach Nate Yusky.
Speaker 3: So yeah, man, I feel like I've been on that
fighting the good fight since he.
Speaker 4: Got and Ben broke it down last night a full
run better than the team that won the national championship.
Speaker 5: In twenty one of the first team e r A.
Speaker 2: Also Kate Anderson. At the beginning of this baseball season,
in preseason, when you were looking at the MLB scouting
reports and stuff like that, he was like in the
fifty I think he was fifty five or something like that,
the fifty fifth pick to go, uh in the MLB.
Speaker 3: Now he's top.
Speaker 2: Five, number one and some Yeah, So I mean you
have that comes with development. Who's out there developing these players?
Speaker 3: Nate Yuski, So you've.
Speaker 5: Been on that one. I gotta give you that one.
You've for sure been. You've been fighting.
Speaker 3: He's so angry.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 5: In the chat, Vaughn says, need to show coach Will
Wade some love too. I love coach Will. Actually back

now and.
Speaker 4: Again, Like we'll text back and forth. For sure he's

Speaker 5: What's going on brother? How we're doing?
Speaker 9: Yo? What's happening? Let's break down Chili's, bro, because I
mean that is a goaded chain restaurant.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I mean, dude, it's it doesn't matter like
what time, what day it is, it is always going
to hit. I mean from the apse I mean in
which they got like seventy three different ones to choose from.
They got some pretty good cold pops to choose from
as well. Chili's to me, like, if I am into
a chain restaurant for a good time, it's gonna be
a chiliast every time.
Speaker 9: I used to go to Chili's as a teenager just
to be in position to get some tails in the ballpark,
and you had to know what work at that time.
For me, it was this lady.
Speaker 5: Her name was Sharry shut Out Sherry.
Speaker 9: Yeah, she spiked my strawberry lemonade. We called the Strawberry Sharry.
She was cool.
Speaker 5: I mean, how did you do?
Speaker 9: Did you?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 9: Though?
Speaker 5: At the Chili's in there and you know, hoping for
the best.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I mean, like I said, like you just
had to be that. You had to be in the ballpark,
and it was like the proving grounds, you know, like
girls they wanted to see y order. You couldn't just
go to Chili's and buy chips and salsa. And I
learned that through trial and error.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I had to find.
Speaker 9: Twenty dollars just so I could show my ass that
Chili's on a Friday night. Them girls wanted to see
if you could cop.
Speaker 6: That triple dapo in high school, trying to get us
close to the bars. You can maybe get a high
top move, you got a high time.
Speaker 5: You're in the bar areas. Like I'm saying, the bar
of Chili's not a big deal at all.
Speaker 9: But yeah no, when it comes to chain restaurants like
a well done Chilies.
Speaker 5: Yeah back, I'm with you.
Speaker 6: I mean it's one of the few like chains that
from the nineties that have survived the test of time
with like a good reputation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Benningan's gone, is gone. I mean Friday
is gone.
Speaker 9: Apple's hanging on the deal.
Speaker 6: They had had the country song that kind of like
breathed a little life into him.
Speaker 9: Applebye's said, you have a burgery dollars fifty right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're just trying to break even.
Speaker 5: I mean they're all gone, like think about it, like,
think about all the staples.
Speaker 6: But Chili's holding on with a good rep. And I
haven't like top to bottom good rep. I don't care
what walk of life you.
Speaker 9: Come from, would you somehow I've gone and still around too.
I've been that one time. I was like walking into
a fume, dude, it was.
Speaker 6: I mean them light red lobster too. How are they still?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 5: I mean red lobsters Like they got like three restaurants left.
Speaker 6: I think biscuits elite.
Speaker 5: The biscuits the only thing that's keeping them afloat.
Speaker 6: Can you imagine the shrimps campy right now?
Speaker 4: Though no self respecting Louisiana human being, Louisiana animal can
go into a red lobster and get seafood.
Speaker 5: Let's be honest. If you do, I'm judging you.
Speaker 9: That's another one that I walked into I think one time,
and I remember even the workers were shot at Red Lost,
like do y y'all in the right place. That was
like twenty five years ago.
Speaker 6: You know, kid going in and seeing those that that
fish tank with lobsters in it.
Speaker 5: Pretty cool.
Speaker 9: God, I can't believe they A lot of places did
away with that. That's that's the problem with the country
right there. You know, we got rid of the Lost.
Speaker 5: So you're putting some rubber bands on the claws. That
ain't that big a deal.
Speaker 4: And by the way, you never got those lobsters. Like
you see those lobsters. Them things was giants, some things
juice in that tank and then you get your order
and it'd be like a piece of rubber that looked
like a crawfish and not a lobster.
Speaker 9: That was That was like the whind Dixie work his
pet lobsters.
Speaker 5: Dev so l s U going to Omaha.
Speaker 4: So before like we get any baseball reaction, I think
we got to get you to Omaha, Like we got
to get you there for the content because like on
a Monday, you trying to find any kind of red bean,
any kind of red bean situation would be fantastic content
because I just I don't have a lot of faith
that you would be able to find what you're looking for.
Speaker 5: But I would like to see your journey.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I'm gonna tell you now. I think it'd
be no problem. You can put me in Zimbabwe. I would.
I would figure it out because I mean, somebody's somebody's
gonna be from Louisiana that lives out there. Even if
there's just one person that lives in Omaha, Nebraska that
has a Louisiana route, like, they will be able to
make it happen. So it's a fourteen hour drive. I
don't like to fly, so it's a fourteen hour drive.
I looked at it. My only concern is would I
be able to get a hotel at this point, you know,
or a place to stay, because I am considering it
for real LSU fans.
Speaker 4: If you've got a situation like if you've got you know,
an extra room, or hey, maybe you're on the RV
and you got an extra bed in the RV. Let
our GUIDEV hang out crash there and he'll put you.
Speaker 5: In the content.
Speaker 9: And I know how all of these are because I
went to Talladega, so I don't need to be inside
the Allvy put me on the outside with one of
those beads that that like attached to the AUV that
come out. I'll do that.
Speaker 4: Your videos coming out of that were fantastic. I forgot
about that. Oh my god, dude, they were throwing it
down in the infield.
Speaker 9: That was the most world viral content I've ever put out.
I mean, you got people in Afghanistan sharing that stuff. Dude.
Just goes to show you everybody loves those two things.
Speaker 6: Oh where the fear of flying come? It's gonna be
hard to do a show from Zimbabwe if like you
can't drive there. Like, where is this coming on a boat?
Speaker 9: Dude? What's crazy is I've flown a bunch. I've flown
like thirty times, but I haven't flown since twenty seventeen.
Twenty seventeen, Yeah, since twenty seventeen. I went to Minnesota
to watch the Saints open up against the Vikings. They
got smoked. Sam brad Oh.
Speaker 5: I was like, there's one victory there probably, dude.
Speaker 9: She was on fire. Bro, I'll never forget that.
Speaker 5: So twenty seventeen, the last flight.
Speaker 4: It's funny to dev It's funny, just different different mindsets
with like if you don't have to fly, like I've
probably flown thirty times in the last eighteen months.
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, I'm sure Matt has as well.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not my favorite thing to do, but
like you got to go cover games and other places
and dads my man's like, I ain't getting on a
bird twenty seventeen, that's crazy.
Speaker 5: What's the farthest place you've gone since then?
Speaker 9: Well, that's funny, you asked, dude. H well, not since then?
All right, Oh, I thought you said. So. The farthest
place I've ever flew was actually baff Canada, And this
was before twenty seventeen. I think I was like twelve
years old. That was the longest flight of my wife.
Very last seat in the back of the plane, spilling
cokes all over my clothes and stuff. It was like
Coca cola all over my clothes and stuff, and it
was just I don't know, man, It's just the longest
fight in my life. I stopped flying at twenty seventeen
because I had a feeling that these planes weren't right. Bro,
Like on my way back from Minnesota, Spirit Airlines they
couldn't find a pilot.
Speaker 5: Dude, Well you know Spirit Airlines.
Speaker 4: I could have I could have warned you against Spirit Airlines.
Dev that takes pretty strong.
Speaker 9: They couldn't find a pilot. They were like, hey, we
have in trouble finding a pilot.
Speaker 5: So they said that, raise your hand if you got
any experience in the back.
Speaker 9: Like shall looking for a pilot on Craigslist? What's going on?
And then I don't know, man, you know the Internet.
They really got me not wanting to get on a plane.
Speaker 4: They I mean, I saw plane crashes Like I don't
know who said it around me or what what happened
when I say, like my algorithm for like a full
month was nothing but plane crash.
Speaker 9: Yeah, who said this? You look at one? And then
they really get you. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Plane talk.
Speaker 6: I could just see Devin right down to play this
effort in real.
Speaker 9: You saw you saw that that clip a couple of
weeks ago they had roaches all in the plane. Dude,
what you.
Speaker 5: Haven't seen that one where they know.
Speaker 2: That Those are my two biggest fears and yes, yeah,
I would lose my mind. So I'm gonna need us
to stop on the plane talk though, caause I'm gonna
get on a plane on Friday.
Speaker 5: Where are you going to Texas?
Speaker 9: Okay? You want to just drop? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Were you going round Rock?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: That's that's not that's like a six hour drive.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you have money.
Speaker 6: That's more than I'm sorry to tell you that's more
than six.
Speaker 3: It's like six and a half ish, let's go seven
and a half.
Speaker 9: You've missed dropped my because I get to pass a
bunch of states. I could stop off. You know, you
know who really got mean? I want to fly and
have it John ed and Dudu.
Speaker 5: I'm saying I always took the bus.
Speaker 9: Always took them. Think think about how many important places
and people that need to see John Madden at a
certain time. Not dude, I'm gonna take the bus.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know it's it's crazy, bro, that's about the journey.
Speaker 9: What's the nicest place you'll ever been to?
Speaker 5: This is gonna be a flint answer here.
Speaker 4: The nicest or nicest and so the nicest place I've
ever been to, And I'm not even talking about like
destination because like my favorite, my favorite to Bahamas.
Speaker 5: I love one of the Bahamas. It's my favorite place
to go.
Speaker 4: But if you want to say like nicest place, so Dev,
we played the Saints in two thousand and eight in
London and they put us about an hour outside of
London in a like an old castle that they turned
into this five star hotel, and Dev, like somebody from
the Ratchet City was not supposed to be there because
I like felt out of place. This place was so nice,
like everything that you can imagine, like when you see
on TV, like these old eighteen hundred and probably a
lot of older in that style like castles. They turned
that into a five star hotel. Man, it was incredible.
And look we lost like a forty five, like forty
one game against the Saints. It was a great game
in Wimbley as well. But that's like I felt out
of place because it was so nice.
Speaker 9: Yeah, That's how I felt when the nicest place I
ever been to was Banff, Canada, and I stayed at
the fair Mine tailor pull it up. I stayed at
this place right here, and I was like twelve, I
was too young to like appreciate, right all I did is.
I just sat in my room and the wo wow music.
Speaker 5: Dude, Dad, what were you doing there?
Speaker 9: Bud bro Bro my grandpa he had to go to
like a word convention and that's where it was that
year and this and look I sat in I was
too young to appreciate. I sat in my room, ordered
them service and watched music videos.
Speaker 5: Look, I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 4: Like sitting in your room with a good club sandwich,
French fries and a diet coke and watching TRL.
Speaker 5: I don't think that's a bad time at all. I
think that's called utopia.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm just looking at this place though. Man, It's
like there's no way somebody from Shallman has ever been there.
Speaker 4: No, you're the only shall nation that has ever been there.
And I can almost speak in absolutes there.
Speaker 6: Whatd y'all do? What'd you do for fun?
Speaker 4: There?
Speaker 9: Room? Yeah? I was in a room a lot. I
remember they hit a bowling alley in mass so I went,
I went bold, I played tennis outside, went to the pool.
It never got dark, I feel like out there so
it was like light the whole time. I can't remember
the science of that. I know how that works. But anyway, Yeah, dude,
I got a massage. They had a rat that was
in the room that we had to chase off.
Speaker 5: Now that probably felt more like home.
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, that'll yeah, that'll bring you back. That'll grow
on you right.
Speaker 5: There, Charles, Yeah, oh Lake Chuck just catches straight.
Speaker 6: No, it's good, just like Bam compared to him death.
Speaker 5: I don't know where that's at, like he said, he
keeps saying, is in Canada. I'm like, I know, Vancouver,
Toronto and Montreal, that's it. Calgary.
Speaker 9: Banff is supposedly like one of the nicest places in
the world. And didn't know. I just did not know.
Speaker 5: I didn't know what it was for you start speaking today.
Speaker 9: I got to go back and and make that right.
But anyway, yeah, Banff, Canada.
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 4: Uh, well, we've covered Canada. We've covered potential Omaha trip
as well. Dev What area are we going to be
in today for RB and R day.
Speaker 9: Oh, We're gonna be on the Stab Shore for sure.
I can tell you that. You know, I want to travel,
but every time this Monday comes, right, it comes so quick.
So I just in order for me to travel, I
gotta like leave a couple of days ahead of time,
and I just I keep forgetting to do that. But
we're gonna be somewhere on the stab shure. Yeah, man,
which hey, I wanted to ask y'all. Did y'all listen
to the Call to Six? Oh?
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and kind of came out of nowhere like
it's one of those things dev that like you knew,
was like is gonna happen?
Speaker 5: And then like it happens, You're like, oh, I gotta
play catch up a little.
Speaker 4: But then I started seeing everybody post on social media
about Lil Wayne's album playing I Can See Your Loss,
so uh like it kind of came up and surprised
me again and so like I had to go and
listen to it when I was in the car on
my way to baseball this weekend.
Speaker 9: Yeah, look, Matt, this is better than like the pussy
Cat Dolls, you know what I'm saying. By the way,
that's the worst you were fan of all time in
my opinion.
Speaker 5: Of all the bands.
Speaker 9: Come on losing.
Speaker 3: That is a banker. You don't want to dance.
Speaker 5: And she didn't the lead singer just win an award
like Tony's. She wanted Tony. I saw something she was something. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 4: All right, favorite do you have a favorite song on
the album.
Speaker 9: From I probably song number two, which is Welcome to
the carda all right, and then probably the second one
would be Bells.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 9: But I'm gonna give it a six out of ten.
I gotta be honest, called a six six out of ten, Okay,
that's fair enough.
Speaker 4: Look, I mean, when you've been in the game that long,
if you can still get a six out of ten
when you're like three decades in the game, I feel
like that's okay, right, you know.
Speaker 9: That's a long time. I mean, can be around for
thirty years and you know, top them. It's so hard
to top yourself. You've put out with winning and put
out it's incredible.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt about it. Dev You're the man. Hold
the mayo at Snow like John is the handle on
social media. Give a follow there. We'll catch up again
with you next Monday, my man.
Speaker 4: All right, y'all, take care, all right, you as well,
Devin Snow htm Sports, go buy the shirts.
Speaker 6: Bam.
Speaker 4: I just I didn't know anything about that place. Now
I think, like shit looks like the setting for many
scary movies. Well, it's either it looks like the It's
either that or where.
Speaker 5: A Bond villain lives.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, like, yeah, by himself
and and James got to go in there, and you
gotta take care of business.
Speaker 5: Old Jimmy.
Speaker 6: Yep, he's got a parachute down with ye with the
snow skis on.
Speaker 5: There's a snowmobile that just happens to be waiting by
a tree.
Speaker 6: An Olympic type skier without question.
Speaker 4: All right, Moro two B when we jump back here
on one of four five ESPN batorish off the bench.
Speaker 5: Is there a bad time to drink a do sequis?
Speaker 6: I don't think so.
Speaker 5: Is there a perfect time to drink a do sequis?
A lot of them?
Speaker 4: Uhgate beer, uh, in game beer, beach beer, lake beer,
shower beer, eating in a Mexican restaurant in between baseball
games beer.
Speaker 5: Yep, all those are checks.
Speaker 6: I uh, yesterday grilling beer, who was a big beer?
Speaker 5: That's actually that's one that Hey, I'm patting my chest.
That's on me. That's when we forgot.
Speaker 6: Is there anything like that than like a summer evening,
firing up the grill, cooking some we cooke hamburgers, We
cut hot dogs, we cout the sausage dogs, and I had.
Speaker 5: I scoll a little twelve.
Speaker 6: I call a little twelve was some ice cold nose
A kiss frosty mug.
Speaker 5: So I am super jealous.
Speaker 6: We got about smoke it in my face with an
ice cold does X.
Speaker 5: You should get me drink responsibly and always go for
the brudes.
Speaker 6: We got twenty five bits on the dresser, Yes, sir.
Speaker 1: I got twenty two thousand and seven shamps purple and
gold to the core. This is off the bench with
Hester and Flynn, Matt and Rougees go to for all
things Louisiana Sports.
Speaker 5: In the trunk got to bang.
Speaker 4: All right, Welcome back in O TV one, O four
five e SPN Baton Rouge. The New Orleans Saints currently
in mandatory mini camp. It's going to be the tenth
through the twelfth, So over the next couple of days
you're gonna have a chance to take a look at
some of the position battles, some of the new players, rookies,
all of that. But anytime you have a quarterback competition,
that is always going to be the top story. It's
always going to be what everybody I hustles in a
mini camp situation. And look, you got so much new
new coach, new coordinator, new quarterback, coach, got Tolzi and
who we talked with last week. You've got a new
quarterback in Tyler Schuck. You've got you know, kind of
still new quarterback, and Spencer Ratler only going into his
second year there. So that is going to be the
main focus. We've talked about that will continue to talk
about that. One thing that I'm paying attention to, though,
is going to be the offensive line because you have
four first rounders and a second rounder. That's an investment.
That's a heavy, heavy investment. Trevor Penning's not an NFL tackle.
Speaker 5: We have seen that.
Speaker 4: We know that they don't pick up is fit your option,
But but I do like moving him inside to guard.
I think that you know, he can do a lot
of things in the run game. Well, he's always been
good in the run game. I think now you're protected
on each side in both the passing game and the
run game. But I think just pass protection. Look, guard's
much easier than being on an island and playing tackle
like you literally you have help with the center and
with the tackle, and you have to use that help.
Speaker 5: You have to use their bodies kind of as protectors.
Speaker 4: And we do it all the time at the running
back position, like I would use the tackle as kind
of like, hey, I'm gonna be make sure like I
don't get beat inside between the tackle and myself, right,
So I can cut that off just by my body position,
I can cut off that lane. And then it's like
do you want a bull rush or do you want
to go outside.
Speaker 5: And just run you up the ring there? So I'm
intrigued with.
Speaker 4: The offensive line because you have so much invested in
there for first rounders, and the best player, Eric McCoy,
was the second rounder.
Speaker 6: I didn't honestly, I didn't even know hit four first
rounders invested an offense. That's incredible, right, Yeah, So like
they better be pretty damn good.
Speaker 4: I know what I'm saying. Like it, And if you're not,
that's on the scouting department. Man, that's only development. You're
not gonna hit on every one of them, but by god,
you gotta hit on more first round picks.
Speaker 6: You've missed a lot.
Speaker 4: Caesar Ruiz has not been consistent, Trevor Penning's having to
move positions. Well, I get somebody that you don't know
yet because he's still so young in his career. He's
more of a natural right tackle, had to play left tackle.
Then you get Banks this year, so a rookie. But
like you've got two that I would say, you're misses
right now, penning your ruise.
Speaker 6: So far right, but you look Scott Tolzing, the Saints
quarterback coach, said it on the show like great last week.
He said, yeah, we're in a we're in competition now.
He's specifically talking about quarterbacks but really for everything offensive
line that you're talking about, everybody is you're in a competition.
But it's about reps right now. Mini camp is no
different than O t as. It's the same practice format.
It's it's it's just an extension. It's just the mandatory
part that you got to.
Speaker 4: And you stay a little bit longer, and yeah, a
little bit of training can't feel.
Speaker 6: To it a different name to it, Yeah it does.
I mean mine were always just the same thing as
ot as pretty much. But like Scott said it so good.
He was like, yeah, but we're just trying to get
reps in like they're evaluating. Yes, but the competition, like
we got shorts on and there's no pads. This isn't
this isn't a padded situation. But in for offensive linemen
that the same.
Speaker 4: Even more so, if you win in shorts as an
offensive lineman, that's good because it's it's kind of set
up against you, like you can't be physical, like you
can't like in the run game, you can't lean on
people because like you got to obviously keep your hands
inside and you can't really you know, knock them off
the football because you don't have pads on.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's pretty amazing. Like the offensive lineman they're
like when you when you would go to practice with
without pads, shorts and helmets, they didn't like it because
it didn't change the intensity in the block and didn't
really change. They were just let's just put pads on
because they're gonna we're gonna be banging shoulders anyway.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got the spider pads that are nothing like,
oh these help? Yeah, well I wore these when I
was four years old playing flag football.
Speaker 6: Can I tell you one thing though, Like as soon
as OTA's a mini camp is over, that practice film,
you might as well burn it. You will never go back.
You will never look at it. It. Coaches after they
watch the last mini camp practice, they're gonna go back
and watch it one time so they can so they
can teach coach one meeting with the players. After that,
that footage will never be seen by another human soul
ever again, Okay, because it doesn't matter. You can evaluate.
It gives you. It gives the coaches an idea what
to expect in the training camp. But I say that
about spring practices too in colleges. Yeah, it doesn't mean
a lot. You get some extra reps. That's great, gets
burned for this.
Speaker 4: SATs as we get ready to take our last break
of the show. For the Saints, it's all about learning
each other, finding out your teammates some of the tendencies
that they have, and trying to create some chemistry here
in you know, this mini camp situation because of all
the things you said. But for them, it's just an
introduction for everybody, new coaches, new players, knew everything right
and then take that parlay that into whatever you do
the first couple of days of training camp.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's got set it again really good. Like the
coaching staff, head coach, offensive coordinator, quarterback coach, they're constantly
trying to evolve based on what the teams give them.
They're not gonna come in with a hard set of
these are the players are gonna run, You're gonna learn
how to run it. They're gonna build everything, which to
me got me excited for Saints fans out there. Listen,
that's a really cool especially with young quarterbacks. That's what
you want as a staff. So kudos of them. Hope
it works.
