Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents off the bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Hester and Hester.
Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each
other on the air Control Live from the Mercedes Benz
Baton Rouge Studio.
Speaker 3: It's off the bench, all right, we'll go back in
our three of OTV here. We have not yet got
a picture of Flynn at the beach. I'm sure that
we'll be coming here pretty soon. Antheon Ornardo good enough
to hang out with us for one more segment real quick?
Speaker 4: Can I get a card question? I actually brought cards.
I didn't know if we were talking cards today.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 3: Let me just tell you, okay, uh, if I'm here,
we're talking, all right, we're talking all right. I need
to I need to find my next break that I
want to try because I've been on the you know,
the same optic card. I've been chasing some uptown some downtown's,
and I finally got an uptown nice Brian Thomas Jr.
Guy Right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know Uptown's not as
good as a downtown. But man, I got a little
fatigue with with that certain product, a certain yeah. Yeah, yeah,
it's like because man if I get one more Bucky
Irving Purple.
Speaker 4: And so that's the frustrating part about the breaks, is
like you're chasing these same people and you're like, I
don't want that guy anymore, and.
Speaker 5: It makes you actually dislike the player a little bit.
You're like, there's a little bit of that, right, it
actually does. I'm like, I remember, uh, if I get
one more, god dang Ben Sinnett, the Commanders.
Speaker 3: Literally, everybody's poor. Is everybody gonna hate? Everybody's going to
hate that. That's a great point everybody probably and that look,
he's like a sort of a fullback. So it's hard
for me not to like like I should, like I'm
chasing Jane and I'm not chasing you. Ben.
Speaker 4: It was like when I got back into cards, like crazy,
I was looking for Zion, so poor uh Nicol Alexander,
what's is the guy that?
Speaker 3: Whatever it was? Now?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we literally I don't even know if it sounds
so terrible, not trying to be disrespectable. We literally just
called them the other other Pelican. We're like, oh, it's
the other Pelican again. Like IM was just like, that's
so bad for that guy. I'm like, that's terrible.
Speaker 3: But that but that's what breaks. Yeah, that's what happens
in breaks. Yeah, look like there's really good players that
like I'm getting, like, you know, some good cards, and
you know, you can resell them and certainly make your
money back and probably then some. But it's like, but
if I see your face again, like there's something about
your face exactly what I want. Is there anything I
can do to change it? You know, I'm with you.
I need, I need, I need something new. Flynn put
me on the tops midnight okay product Yeah cool?
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah yeah, less cards and you get some
hits like yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, less cards, but some bigger hits. So it went
Titans two nights Agocha got an autograph? Warn Moon, nice autograph,
Eddie George nice. Yeah right yeah, Like because a lot
of people, you know, chase some rookies, chasing rookie quarterbacks.
That's the way, like bids on the Titans. I'm like, hey,
I'll be a Huckleberry. I'll do it.
Speaker 4: I'll yeah right like that, That to me is the
best part about the checklist and some of this unlicensed stuff.
They can pay guys a little bit more or less,
you know, and they can get more names in the
checklist and everything.
Speaker 3: So, uh, that's the fun part.
Speaker 4: And if you know what you're looking for and you're
a football fan, right and you go down the rabbit hole,
it's like this is that's the fun part.
Speaker 3: And that's the way you throw a little wrinkle into it,
a little you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, you gotta get prism when yeah, when prism,
Prism already came out for that rookie class yep. But
Prism is a good product. That's a that's a good
win to chase. There's a good roy it's not crazy
going to break the bank, you know, but it is
expen somewhat expensive.
Speaker 3: So okay, So for our listeners that maybe you're not
into the card game, like you like these live breaks
and so how it goes like on eBay, right, you
you bid for a team. Now, the Titans not gonna
go for a lot, the Dolphins not gonna go for
a lot. Think of some of the things, like the
Bengals don't go for a lot because the Bengals don't
have a quarterback are a rookie quarterback. They've got Joe
Burrow and Jamarche. He's like, wait a minute, why would
they not they don't have the rookie like they drafted
a defensive lineman I think, or an offensive lineman in
the first round. So like nobody's chasing that card. But
the Commanders, the Broncos, the Bears, the Falcons, the Vikings,
the Patriots, those six teams crazy. Like you'll see people
bid two, three, four hundred dollars for the right to
whatever team is pulled in that break. And look sometimes
you'll pay three hundred dollars for the Commanders and you'll
get a ben Sentnt. That's what you're going to get.
And you don't get that. So like that's where Flynn lives,
your boy here, I live like with the Bucks and
the Chargers, like somewhere they're like towards the bottom, but
not the bottom, not the bottom. Give me some lad
mccackey's hey, I love and some of his patches, Like
they have some really nice cards of his. I was
actually helping one of the guys that I hope with
cards the other day and he had some I was
like hit a four out of fourteen RPA for it
was from a decent product too, it was it was
a really nice card. Lowed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that I mean there's have you gotten on
what Not or Fanatics Live yet? It's dangerous.
Speaker 3: I know, it happens really fast. It'll suck you in.
Speaker 4: And that's you can literally go in there some of
these big companies. Yeah, you can just chase your player.
You can literally go buy Jaden and he'll do a
ten case break and you get every single Jayden card.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: So like you can do it different ways, and but
to your point, like that's the fun part. You can
break it up and you can get into different products.
You would probably like getting into mixers too. Yeah, that's
where you get a couple of different products in there years.
So that's what I've actually like the last two nights.
That's kind of what I've been looking at because like
I am so tired of seeing the same car product.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I have not done like I know, like
Fanatics Live. Like I know you'll have done some of
those as well, yep, and Whatnot. I'm still I'm still
like towing the water easing in on like the eBay side.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say stay there for now, don't. It's a
slippery slope. Yeah, it's a slippery slope. If you get
on those apps, they make it. They just know they
make it too easy. You can lay in bed and
you're just like, I'll try another team, I'll try another,
and they do.
Speaker 3: They gamify it.
Speaker 4: There's wheel spins and you can be like you're like
bidding and you're like five dollars wheel spend. You're like, oh,
I could get the Commanders, you know, and it's like
it's just it's gambling.
Speaker 3: Tennessee Titans too often. Yeah, very so what like anything
you're chasing right now?
Speaker 4: I'm on so the cards that I left him in
the other room. But Brenton Doyle is a guy that plays.
I'm still on the baseball Yeah, yep, Rocky, So I'm
on him right now. He's kind of dipping in his average,
so like his cards are a little low, and I
still believe in he's more of a second half guy too.
So this happened last year too, So I'm buying some
of his cards. I just got a gold out of
fifty psa ten of his first auto so it's like
one hundred and seventy five dollars card. But if he
does what I think he is, hopefully that's going to
be a five thousand dollars card.
Speaker 3: In a couple years, right, So that's part of it
that I'm not eveywhere close and not even the realm
of where you're at like understanding that, like I get
it like when you lay it out, so yeah, duh,
that makes sense. But it's like the investment piece of it.
It's like like for me, like it's just a it's
a fun hobby right now, chasing some cards, selling some
making a little bit of scratch here and there. But
it's like for you, like it's a long play in
some of these cases, Like I mean it's wmby you
brought in last time you're in.
Speaker 4: Like that's a long play. Absolutely, you might have that
card for a decade yep. And that's probably when you'll
see the real appreciation. So you'll probably see some in
the short term and everything. But I approach it, yeah,
like an alternative asset class, almost the same way you
would with real estate and stocks and other things. I
just feel like I'm more educated. I know the market,
and to me, it's more like human behavior. It's the
psychology of the market of knowing, Okay, people are gonna
start buying this guy and doing this. It's like and
once you're in the industry. You know the trends, you
see them, And that's where I tell people that like
to get into it. Yeah, there's a dabble and a
fun part that you can get in the hobby and
rip cards. That's that's the fun part. I love that,
that's my favorite part. But there is an element to say, hey, look,
let's set aside some money and go invest so that
way you can go play right like, you're gonna lose
some money over here, that's gonna.
Speaker 3: Happen, but you gotta plus some too.
Speaker 4: Yes, And that's where if you can do that in
long term and be like cool, let's set aside the money.
Let's go buy these ones that are going to appreciate overtime.
That way, when you lose some money on this side,
it kind of evens out and balances out, you know,
over time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's the best baseball like right now? Like as
far as like because you know, Tops Chrome, for I
guess it would have been with it the springtime this year,
I guess like everybody was chasing the debut patches. The
Boss Games was one, but you're chasing anybody any debut
debut patch you could get, like I know, like for me,
like in our boys, like we bought like ten boxes.
Yeah you know, Top, I'm just trying to chase and
like get somebody. I didn't care who it was. Can
you imagine opening up the best I don't care, Like
maybe it does not matter if he wore that on
his debut one time.
Speaker 4: And to me when when Tops announced the debut patches,
I was like, oh boy, this is going to change
the way that players collect because I would want that
when she wants your first like family heirloom like forever right,
and told you I think it was all fair last
time you came in a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Like one thing I didn't do because I just didn't
think about it was like have like good cards of
mine when I was playing for my children, Like I
just didn't do that, Like I wouldn't. I wasn't thinking
about that. I was very cool to that I had
one and always very appreciative of it. But so much
later in life when Flynn got me into this, He's like,
go get some of your numbered cards. I was like
that's a great idea. Yeah, So like I started to
go get you know, better cards, ones that like I
could pass out to my children that they can keep
and it be like like you're talking about like something
that you can be like, hey, like Jersey Patch from
the Senior Bowl, Like you know, Dad wore that, so
like that part of it, like I didn't even think
about until recently most guys.
Speaker 4: And that's the shame, Like that is one of the things.
One the service that I'm doing now that I'm kind
of trans transitioning into is kind of educating guys on that. Right,
Dylan Cruiz is just starting his career. If you would
have had your cleats from the seven championship game, right,
your boys they would love that.
Speaker 3: That would be so cool and you had to like
but you're like I wore those and their crappy shoes
and you throw them like yeah, I don't know right
maybe but sweat ban yeah exactly, sweatbands, all these little
things and it's like you're not thinking about it now,
but I pro miss you and when twenty years from now,
you're going to probably you know, I know there's a
lot of like, you know, my my Sugar Bowl Jersey
is hanging up in the walk ons and Street for that.
I'm a part owner, like, which is cool, but it's
like I couldn't need that back. My kids wouldn't really
probably like to have that jersey exactly. My NFL debut jersey.
Isn't that walk On? Yeah? That walk On? Yeah. I
was like, you know, like, hey, me and me and
Todd Walker, like we're business partners, Like, hey, we're opening
up a walk On. Let's go, Hey, take these jerseys
and up in the restaurant. It's cool. But I'm like,
I could probably just get like a replica. Nobody would
care at this point have those back. Absolute should Yeah, Hey, yeah,
my guy, Chris mcjonkins, if you're listening, I'm going to
replace them. I'm gonna place them with some nice reps.
There we go, Yeah, we'll have them. Yeah, exactly, sign it,
put a nice message on there or something. Three. I'll
give you three replicas. Still play out signing it for
a little while, dirty it up a little, just like, hey,
what we're talking about? You know, hey, ten jerseys in
front of you. Put it on, take it off, put
it on, take it off, Warren layer Warren. That's how
you know it's official. Yeah, get that done. I don't
and I also don't realize, well I don't know if
my wife realizes that those jerseys are in that restaurant,
and I just told she's probably.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, yeah, now she's she might be on her
way right now, yeah, yeah, to go collect.
Speaker 3: To collect man man, all right, before we get you
out of here. L s U Arkansas two of the favorites.
We know that. So I'm going to ask you this
because it's something we've talked about throughout the show. If
it's not one of those two teams we all said
in agree, it's the same team. I don't want to
tell who it was because I want you to come
up with your own I don't want to put anything
in your mind. If it's not Arkansas, if it's not
L s U, who is it? I think I heard it.
I think we were trying.
Speaker 4: We were trying to the chant of clears, chant clears, broosters, Yeah,
bullets on the Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean any team time a team is won twenty
four games in a real twenty five games or whatever
it is.
Speaker 3: But they're legit too.
Speaker 4: It's not like they're just like, hey, they got hot
and they're playing well, like they have a legendary coach,
they've won a championship before. Also, history tends to like
repeat itself and coaches that get their players to buy
in and believe. Right, this same thing happened in sixteen,
like they were on a hot streak, they won it
and won it.
Speaker 3: He's gonna have their guys believing. So yeah, it's hard
to argue.
Speaker 4: But they have also three teams that are undefeated right
coming during the postseason, So I'm I don't know, but yeah,
I would say Coastal Carolina and then either LSU or
Arkansas are kind of my pick. Yeah, winner of LSU
and Arkansas is kind of my favorite, but if not,
I would go with Yeah.
Speaker 3: I truly do think there's something when your school, when
your program has won a national championship too, even like
you you weren't even close to being on campus, like
you were watching that probably in middle school for the
Coastal team, but there's something about, hey, that's why I
did it. From Coastal. We can do it absolutely right there.
Speaker 4: And it feels because that team sounds, it feels everything
exactly like it right, you know, right, So yeah, no
question about it, Anthon.
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, like during regionals and super Regionals,
there were our favorites to get out of each.
Speaker 3: Of them, so true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I threw money on it because I was like,
like it's just basic. Yeah, and you know, momentum is
uh is all about it.
Speaker 3: They were they were like plus nineteen hundred I think
to win the World Series.
Speaker 7: Yeah, now there's region.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're plus six hundred.
Speaker 6: Arkansas to l s U two fifty because.
Speaker 2: Six hundred, which is interesting because I guess it's not
that interesting. But like LSU was the favorite going into
the weekend last weekend, right, and now it's Arkansas, which
I guess that kind of makes sense because we faced
West Virginia.
Speaker 3: Maybe they took that. Well, there was and I'll see
if I can. I probably can't find it in time.
But there was like a ranking of difficulty to getting
to Omaha, and LSU had the easiest pack. Yeah, it
was it's like plus State had like plus forty. So
like it's not really yeah, and look, I mey, LSU.
You control what you control the teams that are there.
But like for Murray State, they by far had the
most difficult because not only did they go through Duke,
they go through Old Miss. But Georgia Tech had a
strong case to be able to host the rechail on
themselves and that was the two seeds. So yeah, Murray
State battle testing dude, that is that was so crazy.
Speaker 7: LSU and Arkansas even money right now? Yeah, Okay, Kings,
it does. It makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3: Murray State's coach two years ago was making sixty eight
thousand dollars cutting his own grass. He got a bump
last year, signed an extension. Now he's making one hundred
and twenty four thousand. Oh my gosh. The stadium one
hundred and twenty four thousand. I saw a little somebody
was telling me about eight hundred people to their stadium capacity.
I heard about that.
Speaker 6: That was crazy.
Speaker 7: Texas High School based.
Speaker 3: Count right there, like Oklahoma Stadium.
Speaker 7: Eldale, that one Ldale, Mitchell.
Speaker 3: You're the man. Appreciate it, man, This are the best,
always the pleasure hanging out with you. So thanks for
letting us take your hostage here. Oh forty five minutes appreciated.

Speaker 1: From players to legends, Hester and Flynn breakdown LSU football
like only champions can.
Speaker 3: Oh Man I can't remember why. I'll try to remember
by the end of the show. So Cheryl Crow was
coming to Baton Rouge for something goshy, giving a speech
on something. I can't remember why. I'll think of it
maybe before we get out of here today. But they
were looking for an athlete to interview Cheryl Crow, did
you do it well? It never materialized, and so like
they were looking and I don't know, I was a sophomore,
and they were like, hey, we're trying to get somebody
that's done some interviews that we feel like it could
do a good job. I don't remember. I have to
ask Katie if she remembers why. But she was coming
to campus and it never happened. But like I was
ready to go, like I had. I was in my
bag and my Sheryl Crow questions, ready to go, but
that never happened.
Speaker 7: Let's try to get her on UTV.
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, we are going to have a big country star.
Speaker 7: Let's go.
Speaker 3: We're gonna be able to show now just like just
to y'all if you've listened to me before, he's been
on with me. But if for OTB he's a Hogs fan,
he's going ahead and getting that out there, right, good dude,
great singer, great performer. He didn't marry somebody from Homer
who was an l U fan had to convert because
you know, it's like kind of the deal. Hey get
married here, we're gonna get hit. Be a Hogs fan.
You gotta call the Hogs. Yeah, we're looking for it.
To it man, he's he's dialed in. Man, he is
a big Hogs fan. But like he is somebody that
knows you know, football, baseball, like all the major sports.
So gonna have a lot of fun with him. He'll
join us tomorrow at nine thirty.
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, I would not ever switch alliances for anybody.
Speaker 2: Like if there is nobody that was trying to marry
me and he was like, hey, you gotta not be
an LSU fan and you got to come to my
side or we ain't getting married, I'd be like bye, yeah, well.
Speaker 3: Bye, Like in Tombstone that would be yeah, no, I
ain't doing that, and we can look, I'll respect you.
On Saturdays, you go to your room, I'll go to mine.
I'm watching the Tigers. You can watch you ever, right,
I'm watching the Chargers on Sunday. If you want to
watch your Raiders. You can go in your own room.
I ain't doing it, and.
Speaker 7: I'm not cheering for them either, and I'm not gonna
be happy to you when they win.
Speaker 6: No imagine being a Raiders.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: They're on my list.
Speaker 7: Miserable.
Speaker 3: It goes Phillies, Gators, Raiders for me.
Speaker 6: It's actually a good list. It's a good list.
Speaker 3: I hate the Phillies, God do I hate the Phillies.
John Cruck, Lenny Dykstra, Mitch Williams rest in peace, Darren Dalton,
Mike Mordecai. Everyone's a good name, is not a bad name.
Everyone of y'all I hate all. Y'all might be great,
great humans, might be great people. I don't know. I
don't like you.
Speaker 7: Harper does strikes.
Speaker 3: You're in there, yeah, Chase, Sorry, I don't know every Philly,
every Philly except Nola.
Speaker 7: Yeah no, that's the only one we can deal with you.
Speaker 3: It's the only one. Mm hmm. Right, because my l
s U like bloodstick and and water type situation. Right,
I can't hate on a Tiger ever. Everybody else I
hate you. Yeah, I haven't met you. No, it doesn't matter, Nope,
everybody has those teams, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for me in every sport, in every sport. I'm
trying to think of a baseball like an MLB team
that I'm not a fan of. But my thing with
baseball is that I love it so much that I
can respect, Like the Red Sox. I should hate the
Red Sox, I can I can respect the Red Sox.
Speaker 3: So yeah, like, yeah that's a great rival. Yeah, whats going.
Speaker 7: Don't love the Cowboys?
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't have to hate that t Bob
had for like the the you know, the Cowgirls as
him and his father would call them. Yeah, I just
don't think about him ever. Yeah, you know, I didn't
play like I played in the f C West my
entire career, and the two teams I played for their
rival the same team. Yeah, it's kind of weird. So yeah,
I hate the Raiders.
Speaker 6: How that happen? Because then your dad a Cowboys fan?
Speaker 2: Yeah, my dad's a Cowboys fan. And I sent you
all that picture. So that's child abuse. I was wearing
like a Tony Tony Romo jersey. That is is child abuse.
But yeah, my dad and my brother like huge Dallas
Cowboys fans, like diehard, delusional all that stuff. Yeah, I
just again, like I just was never into them because
they were so bad when I was growing up.
Speaker 3: That's weird because like for me, I hated hated how
people in Shreveport liked the Cowboys because they were winning
Super Bowls. Yeah, And I was like, you're from Louisiana.
I don't care what corner it is. You're from Louisiana. Right,
You're gonna go respect the Cajun cannon. You're gonna go
respect all the like Morten Anderson and Ricky Jackson and
Pat Swilling and Von Dunbar and Craig Ironhead Hayward. That's
who you're gonna respect, not Michael Irvin and Troy Aikman
and Smith.
Speaker 6: So thengle fly Kight, it makes a little more sense
to me now. So like, Okay, my dad was born
in Dallas, but he did move to Alexandria, and I
mean he's like an elementary school. Yeah, So I asked him,
I'm like, okay, well, like you moved here, young, how
did the Cowboys keep happening? He was in Alexandria and
like the late sixties, they only got a few channels
and the Cowboys was the games.
Speaker 3: They were first year as a franchise, would have been
right around that time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then they were really bad. So the games
that they got on TV in that area was the Cowboys.
So like, even though he lived in Alexandria were way
up every Sunday him and his dad watched the Cowboys together,
and then it's kind of how it happened with me.
So like I do like kind of get that area,
but also get what you're saying too, like people your age, no,
people a little bit older. I guess it kind of
makes sense.
Speaker 3: Uh, Scott, I've never heard this before. It's news breaking. Nah,
Shreveport is East Texas. Gosh, that is a.
Speaker 6: I've never heard of East Texas. I've heard southern Arkansas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the southern Arkansas like one. It's it's not even
good because Baton Rouge is closer to Mississippi than Sreeport
is to Arkansas, so it's not even like a good one.
Like it's Sliddale, Mississippi. I'm asking that's not rhetorical, Like
I'm asking that question because like Slidelle's pretty close to Mississippi.
It is if Shreeport's close to Texas, Like, is that
the same thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the reason they say southern Arkansas. They're like, oh,
you're not.
Speaker 3: It's not even close southern enough, maybe because you're too
high in Louisa not from Like it's never made sense
to me, like you think because where you're at in
Louisiana because of like where it's located, that you're more
of Louisiana pert Like, yeah, I just know it's something again,
like just never understood. And I didn't even like know
it was a thing until I came to school here.
Speaker 2: Oh like nothing Texans don't like we don't tell people
in Dallas out there Oklahoma, And.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never gotten it.
Speaker 2: I've never like gone to somebody from East Texas and
been like, you're Louisiana.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look I have. I have lived in Baton Rouge
and Shreeport probably about the same amount of years. Like
when I when I look at my life now, there's
places in Louisiana that are they're they're different, Like New
Orleans is its own place. It's incredible that buy use
its own place, like like it's incredible. Like there's places
that are completely different. And I get shade every time
I say this. Shreeport and Baton Rouge, there's a lot
of similarities a lot of similarities, like and a lot
of people that say that it's not have never been
to Streeport. So again, that's not a bad thing. I'm
just saying, like they are, they are, they are similar
into a lot of the ways that everyday life is
is going about.
Speaker 6: Okay, see, there you go. That that's kind of the
point I was making. Joey LeBlanc says, I just call
my friends from their Yankees, so that that's kind of
what it is like. You're not Southern.

Speaker 3: Yeah. I never met a tip that wasn't frosted extremely
and I am not throwing stones here, glass houses.
Speaker 7: He does have like a necklace situation.
Speaker 3: I could have been very confused for Ryan Carbert.
Speaker 6: You showed us a you showed us a little frosted
tip picture one time.
Speaker 3: I mean it was it host apocrime, the same thing.
But what if I would have if I would have
flexed my neck. That thing would have hooked everybody in
the eye, be shooting everywhere.
Speaker 7: There'd be some mass casualty.
Speaker 3: I was rocking that thing though. Pull that picture back up.
I had to find it first on the plane.
Speaker 7: Oh that was That's a great pa.
Speaker 3: I don't know who that. I need to go back
and credit whoever sent me that on Twitter. It's like,
how about these young fellows or something. I was like that,
so that I think I actually think it was the
flight attendant on the trip, if I remember right, because
I think like she was going around for everybody like
taking pictures. I could have them because like iPhones had
just come out and so like, you know, you didn't
have it on your phone like everybody. I think that's
like an actual picture. And that was actually on our
way back from Washington, d C. After we went and
uh did the White House visit. Yeah, that's as I
told his story on air. But so and I were there.
We're in DC and Marucci baseball bats had really started
to gain some traction. So we were there with Jack
Mrucci as well, and we were done, like we were training,
doing different things, getting ready for the NFL. But we
all come back to go to DC, and we were
with Marucci and he's like, hey, I'll get y'all take
us to the National's Marlins game. Their new park had
just opened up. And we're like, oh, hell yeah, we'll
go watch a baseball game. So it's just me and Flynn,
like we went.
Speaker 7: And Speak of the Devil just texted us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I don't even want to look at it.
So we're sitting there watching the game, and you know,
football is different than every sport, Like every sport doesn't
have a curfew, certainly, like when you're a professional football does.
It's just what it is. And they were like, hey,
you got to be back in at eleven at the hotel.
We're like okay, okay, and we're sitting there. I mean,
we're enjoying some cold pops, some good baseball. Great stadium.
It was brand new, and it was like nine to
fifty five. We're like, hey, we got to probably get
on the train and get back to that hotel. And
then we looked at each other at the same time
and we were like, we don't play for LSU anymore.
We'll get back to the hotel whenever the hell we
want to get back to the hotel like it hit
us at the same time. But they were like, hey,
we'll leave it like nine to fifty five, we'll be
back in the like gotta be curfew. They can check
that room and there can be nobody in it and
they're gonna like it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because what are they gonna do? Make you run?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like we don't play for them anymore. Yeah,
it's funny. Like both meat haas. We realized that at
the same time. And so then we went from there
and we went down to the hotel we were staying at.
We went down, uh to the bar area because it
was the night that Kansas and Memphis were playing in
the National Championship game in college basketball and Kansas hit
the shot and won the game. Mario Chalmers maybe, yeah, right,
he hit the shot, and so now we had a
fun night there in DC. But it was funny. We
were like trying to get back for curfew until we realized, oh,
you can't do anything to us. So Michael Anderson boot
up Customs, was going to join us. I feel bad. Uh,
he got pulled over coming into studio here and it
doesn't look like he's going to be able to make it.
I feel awfu. What's like an expensive selfish, expensive trip
into studio. He's gonna show us like great cleats he
had Jake Brown and some other like incredible custom cleats.
So we'll see if we can get those out there
on social media so all the Tiger fans can see.
But it is now time for the NFL Story of
the Day day from Taya.
Speaker 1: It's time Forday's NFL Story of the Day day, your
daily dose of NFL news from Taylor Sharp.
Speaker 6: So the other day, everyone's favorite quarterback, Aaron Rodgers decided
that he was going to become a Pittsburgh Steeler after all. Obviously,
our guy that's normally in the chair up here, Matt Flynn,
good friends with Aaron Rodgers, played for him with an
of for a number of years in Green Bay. Broke
it down from kind of an x's and o's standpoint,
And while we have Aaron Rodgers news, it is not
quite that. It's more of the personal side, the antic side,
if you will, because he met with the media yep,
and walking around with a ring on his finger. Now
it being Aaron Rodgers, you could say, well, that means
a bunch of different things. Some are calling it an
aura ring. That's apparently a thing. I have no idea
what that is.
Speaker 7: Like, trucks your sleep rate working out all that.
Speaker 6: Stor good one for Aaron. He seems like a guy
that would need a mood ring. That's another possibility. Aaron Rodgers,
when asked what the ring was, he said, it's a
wedding ring. He said that he's been married for a
couple of months, has yet to publicly confirm the identity
of who his spouse is. Apparently there was a little
bit of speculation of a marriage because a photo of
him appeared in this wedding ring when he had landed
in Pittsburgh on that left hand. But he has confirmed
he is in fact married. You could see him wearing
it right there on the practice field. What a beauty
of a ring. Looks a little like mine. I imagine
Aaron's cost a lot more. But yeah, Aaron Rodgers getting hitched.
Will he win a ring in Pittsburgh? Probably not?
Speaker 3: But he showed up with one, all right, all right, hey,
rod I think it is confirmed, Like it's not a
famous person because he has dated very famous people. Yes,
in the past, it wasn't.
Speaker 6: Danica Patrick the podcast with her a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3: I did not know.
Speaker 6: She said they had eight terrible relationships.
Speaker 7: So Shyleen Woodley said the same thing.
Speaker 3: She said that.
Speaker 2: Aaron made her like miserable for years. So I don't
know if he's just toxic.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Danica came out after Shalalen, so things was like
a couple of months ago. R.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is terrible news for me though, because I
love Aaron Rodgers. I'm very into him, and I thought
with Flynn being here, like okay, maybe we could like,
you know, FaceTime him.
Speaker 7: Flynn could be put in a good word for me.
It ain't happening. I read about this a little bit.
Speaker 3: Sounds like you have avoided one there.
Speaker 7: Oh No, I love a toxic y'all know me. Y'all
know my y'all know I have terrible, terrible taste in man. No,
it's really not. But I was reading a little bit
about this yesterday.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this part, Taylor, but
he said that it's been like a couple of months
and then uh. I also read that he was on
the Pat McAfee show a few months ago and he's
said like he name dropped her.
Speaker 7: Apparently her name is Brittany. Okay, So I don't know
if there's any famous Brittany's out there.
Speaker 6: That had Britney Spears besides her.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 7: Can you imagine that much crazy relationship?
Speaker 3: Brit Perfect?
Speaker 7: He loves pitch perfect.
Speaker 6: I do love pitch perfect eyes.
Speaker 3: Okay, Britney Murphy's one. Yeah, yeah, yes, Brittany.
Speaker 6: Mahomes, Yeah she's taken. Look, but yeah she's out.
Speaker 3: You said famous Brittanys. I'm just trying to think of
the ones that I know.
Speaker 6: Britney Griner, I think I don't think it's it was
Britney Grinder.
Speaker 3: I think it was her. I got nothing, I get nothing.
I don't. Britney Spears is like the first one of
the Pope.
Speaker 7: I can't think of any other Britain.
Speaker 3: Oh good, pull by the Brittany Snow, you said.
Speaker 6: Right, snow?
Speaker 7: Yeah, but again loves huge pitch perfect guy.
Speaker 6: Look was filmed here at l the since You've been gone.
Every time I hear that that was their audition song,
the first.
Speaker 3: Pitch perfect All right, all right, all right on that note, Uh,
we're actually going to take a break on time. Who
look at this we're gonna have We're gonna have like,
let me do some a little quick eight minutes of
asking the bank.
Speaker 6: Let's get your questions, get your questions to the questions
for the week.
Speaker 3: Stag asked the bench because this is the first time
this week we've actually gotten to this segment. And we'll
do it right here when we jump back on O
TB top the bench. Just like we told you in
the first hour, we're not asking you to go to
All Store Toyota. We're ask you gonna go to All
Star Toyota off Baton Rouge dot com. If you go
to All Store, that is the wrong place. You have
made a wrong turn. But if you make the right turn,
you're going to All Star Toyota of Baton Rouge dot com. Uh,
great time. It is a great time. It's always a
great time to buy new. It's always a great time
to lease because when you're talking about leasing from All Star,
like everything's available. Like a lot of times when we start,
you know, leasing, it's like you have one vehicle in
each category. But that's not the case, like everything in
every category is available to lease. Renting is like you
might have three options total. Again not the case over
at all start everything being available there. So if you're
going to the beach, if you're going to the you know,
the World Series for your youth travel baseball team or
for the Tigers, and you need something bigger because you've
got luggage, you've got bat bags, you have extra stuff.
We'll go rent that Toyota. Whatever you need is available
All Star Toyta vatrouge dot com. All Star Toyota vat
rouge dot com.
Speaker 1: Tiger's turn Talkers.
Speaker 7: This is off the bench.
Speaker 6: I got my ticket for along the Whiskey.
Speaker 2: This is for.
Speaker 6: This is just for.
Speaker 3: This is like when when we play Sabotage and I
get fired up. This this is what Taylor plays when
he's ready to go.
Speaker 6: I do like Anakin Drick.
Speaker 3: All right, we actually got.
Speaker 7: You got one.
Speaker 3: You want what's the theme been today?
Speaker 7: Like I was just doing my childhood stuff. Now that's
what you call music.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Titanium by David Ghetto.
Speaker 7: That's also another.
Speaker 6: That's why.
Speaker 3: I mean, you can go there, that's sure. I mean
it's better I can't go I can't go that. Okay,
I go there, Flagpolesitter Danger.
Speaker 7: Yeah we could do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know why that. That's now what I
call music. Too, maybe wash where that was? All right,
Let's get to some asked the bench questions, what food
do you want the most on a long road trip?
Beef jerkey, beef jerky. Yeah, I love beef jerky, beef jerky,
and uh doctor I love a trail mix too, trail
trail mix and a good cup of coffee on the road.
Speaker 6: The large can Doctor Pepper and the king size Snickers
to go to.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm gonnaed some.
Speaker 2: Beef jerky, some Doctor Pepper and some sort of candy
sweet like chocolate sort of thing.
Speaker 3: So you get the trail mixed, You got a bit
of you know, get a little bit of everything. All right,
This one's for me and you Aliandrobicus Taylor. I guess
already answered it with pitch perfect, guilty Pleasure.
Speaker 7: Movie, any two thousands rom com.
Speaker 3: You know what?
Speaker 2: Me and Something's gotta give the one Diane Keaton and
Jack Nicholson.
Speaker 7: I love that movie.
Speaker 3: It's a great question. I mean there's a lot like
I love. I love a good cheesey eighties movie like
Over the Top with slashed alone and it goes against
Bull Hurley the Arm Like that's I love that. But
like if you're talking about like guilty Pleasure, like you're
talking about early two thousand rom coms about wedding date.
Speaker 7: Okay, that's that one, and then what's another one?
Speaker 3: We're talking about that movie the other day.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of like the j Monster in
Law with j Lo objectively not a great.
Speaker 3: Movie, but I love it anything with Matthew McConaughey or
Kate Hudson in the early two thousands. And then Launch
Give Me All Failure Lunch a great one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a great one, favorite one.
Speaker 1: Sure. Well.
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers lasts longer than one year in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 6: No, No, I think he retires after this year.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Would you rather your twenty four year old daughter
Mary Bill Belichick or your twenty four year old son
Mary a version of T Bob? I don't want my son,
our daughter to marry T Bob? How much?
Speaker 6: How much money would the female version of because they're
both awful options. I'm just trying to think monetarily. I
guess Belichick I'd have more, just.
Speaker 3: About T Bob's a one of one. Yeah, Caitlyn's one
of one?
Speaker 6: Right, No, she is.
Speaker 7: There's nobody else I could do it besides.
Speaker 3: We're just kidding. T Bob, we love you.
Speaker 6: You don't care.
Speaker 3: I know he forgot about us. Who are they? I
don't know, he has no idea. Ask the bench, what
game are you playing at the casino? Like Jack? Yeah,
that's the only going Black Jacks and Roulette too.
Speaker 7: Black Jack, and then the slots.
Speaker 3: I can't do the slots. I'm old, but I ain't
that old. Ask the bench. Does Taylor sing along to
Pitch Perfect?
Speaker 6: No, but I probably could. I know the song, but
we know you know.
Speaker 3: All as songs. Yeah, it's more of a comment a
question in there as well. Isn't fifty cent bringing back
the film industry to Shreveport? Isn't that why he's buying
so many buildings? It is so there was a movie
studio that was built there because when all the movies
were in Louisiana. He has bought that studio back, and
he is he's got like a big production company, and
like he has like six shows right now that are
on Stars. So yeah, he's I don't know if it's
like movies, but certainly like TV series. Yeah, coming back
to the Port city, he's brought up like a lot
of downtown I can't read that one can't read that one.
A lot of Taylor and pitch perfect comments inside of
the chat that I can't read.
Speaker 7: We get some serious questions.
Speaker 3: So there's so many asked the bench. Favorite casino.
Speaker 7: I've been a ton.
Speaker 3: Like cool, like there's like one in Atlantis in the Bahamas,
but I haven't had the opportunity because when I'm in
the Bahamas going to Atlantis, like we are there for
the water park, baby, we are there to ride the rides.
We walked through that casino. It's a very nice setup.
That's like the Chris Doring Hall of Fame, like they
basically have his jersey hung up in that one. But
I always loved going to it. Used to be El
Dorado in Treeboard. It's now a bally. I believe, like
we didn't get many like nights out, but if Katie
and I had a night out, they had like uh
like kind of this club area like right next to
the to the table games. So you go have a
lot of fun and dance, drink, have a good time,
and then you'd stumble over to the casino play some games,
and then you'd stay in the hotel. So it's kind
of like our getaway that we used to have. Yeah,
whenever we lived in tree we got.
Speaker 6: A lot of casinos and tree board.
Speaker 2: I just know I hate Caesars because I get lost
in it every single time and I feel like I'm
in a labyrinth and I can't get out of it.
Speaker 3: I tryed to. We stayed in the Mandalay Bay for
the Super Bowl, and then we stayed in the same
hotel I believe for the l S U B Games.
So I got the layout of that one pretty well,
Like I got that like down pat like, so I
knew that one. So it was more enjoyable once I
learned the lay of the Lanks. I've been there so
many times.
Speaker 6: Someone had been. Once we stayed in playing at Hollywood,
it was nice, was good right on the strip.
Speaker 3: Ask the bench, ride in a NASCAR or fly in
a Blue Angel F eighteen.
Speaker 6: Okay, Nascar, I'm not you see the people get violently
sick flying in those F eighteens. Like it's probably fun.
But yeah, I don't want to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I would want to. I'd want to
give it the good old college try. I don't know
that I could not doing it. Ever since I saw
Days of Thunder as a young movie I want to
get Inside of a Nascar. I love that movie so well. Actually,
somebody else that loves that movie is going to join
us tomorrow. Ryan McGee, ESPN. Let's you see Network's going
to join us at nine am tomorrow. Again, we got
country music superstar Justin Moore joining us at nine thirty.
We'll laugh. Chef well, Monchi's like, we'll have our normal
Thursday stuff as well. So big show planned for tomorrow,
looking forward to it. Jokes on you, Flynn stop sending
