1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,839
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back in our number three OTB one

2
00:00:02,839 --> 00:00:08,679
oh four five, ESPN baton rouge. I'm talking about LSU

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,279
baseball here as they get set for their series against

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,760
Mississippi State. It's gonna be in the box, remember Thursday, Friday,

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,760
Saturday series. And let's talk a little LSU baseball, SEC Baseball.

6
00:00:21,839 --> 00:00:24,719
Kendall Rogers D one Baseball joins us now. Kendall always

7
00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:26,000
a pleasure man. Hope you're doing well.

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: I'm doing awesome, man, how about yourself?

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,519
Speaker 1: Doing fantastic? And before we maybe get into some of

10
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:35,479
the nitty gritty overall takes, I guess in the SEC,

11
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:39,679
after a couple of weekends, maybe some surprises positive negative

12
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:41,280
surprises you've seen so far.

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,719
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, have you told me that Florida and

14
00:00:45,759 --> 00:00:48,159
A and M would be a combined as the SEC?

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,119
I probably would have thought you were on crazy pills

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,920
or something. But yeah, yeah, that obviously would be the

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,520
negative surprise. I think that the positive surprise for me

18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,200
would be you know, I think Tennessee's probably a little

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,719
bit better than I thought. I mean, they looked like

20
00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:02,000
A or not yet again, I thought they actually entered

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,880
the end of the season with a few question marks.

22
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,760
They've been awesome, and you know, LSU has kind of

23
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:09,480
been what we thought they would be, which is a

24
00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:12,200
really good team. And then the other team for me

25
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,480
is Georgia. I think we would all agree, like you know,

26
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,840
you being as an LSU guy, like I think we

27
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,280
Wes Johnson got that job. I think we all thought

28
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:23,799
Wes was a really good pitching coach, right, Like, you know,

29
00:01:23,879 --> 00:01:25,920
his personality was kind of like, man, that's kind of

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,920
an interesting hire as a head coach. But I'm not

31
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,400
sure I saw what George is doing this year or

32
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,120
frankly what they even did last year coming at all.

33
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,120
I mean, their their offense has been phenomenal. I think

34
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:39,560
it's been since like March eleventh that they haven't scored

35
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,480
at least eight runs in a game. They've been awesome,

36
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:47,480
and so Georgia just being absolutely dominant has certainly been

37
00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:50,480
a positive surprise for me. They've been just terrific.

38
00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:53,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, and going back, you're right about A and M

39
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:55,640
in Florida. I mean A and M. We all know

40
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:58,719
the expectation coming into the season. I mean everyone just

41
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,000
across the country this was going to be one of

42
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,840
the best teams in the country. Not just the SEC

43
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:05,959
what has gone so wrong for Texas A and.

44
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: M Yeah, I think it's kind of twofold. I think one.

45
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,800
I think obviously, you know, maybe that's whether it es

46
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,000
Coaches Bowl, you know, other outlets. You know, maybe we

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,520
did kind of diss a little bit too much. But

48
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,800
I mean, you know, there's been an adjustment period for

49
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:23,400
Michael Early. I mean when you look at some of

50
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:25,560
his decisions late in the game, and you know, and

51
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:27,080
I think I might have said this a match show

52
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:29,840
coming in the season. Is the biggest question mark for

53
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:32,000
me was how does he manage latent games? And so

54
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,759
far this year it has not been great. But their

55
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,759
their issues are way deeper than that. I mean, if

56
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,000
you look at their offense, even with Grahovic on the shelf.

57
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,759
You know, Cirell's back this week in a preseason All American.

58
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,280
He's back in the in the lineup this weekend. But

59
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:48,840
I mean they've got guys like jas La Vallette who

60
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,039
were lead hitters last year, who have been very below average,

61
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,080
even bad at times this year. So their biggest thing

62
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,879
is Aidan is ranked I think what the seventh in

63
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,400
the country A team or all three of their starting

64
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,360
pitchers had eras under two to five, and yet they're

65
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:06,759
zero to six in the SEC. It's because their offense

66
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:07,680
has been really bad.

67
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know you mentioned some of the surprises

68
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:14,680
as well. The Georgia Bulldogs have been great. I mean,

69
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:17,039
I mean crushing the baseball. What they did to Florida

70
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:19,560
last week. Do you think that was more of Georgia

71
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:23,000
than necessarily Florida. Is it a combination of both, because

72
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:25,439
I mean those games, I mean they ran away with

73
00:03:25,479 --> 00:03:25,919
most of it.

74
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a combo. I mean Florida's feeling it a

75
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,000
little bit. I mean, I don't know if you callow

76
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,039
they're getting gets de fi you last night, but yeah,

77
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,439
you know they had a lead in the bottom of

78
00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:36,919
the night and they will want to guys hit a

79
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,759
batter intil single grand slam. I mean, that's a brutal

80
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,039
way to lose to your arrival. So I think things

81
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,919
are spinning out of control a little bit for Florida.

82
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,719
That doesn't mean they can't get the car back in

83
00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:48,919
the lane, but you know, things are spinning for them

84
00:03:48,919 --> 00:03:51,520
a little bit. But you know they've got injuries. Leam Peterson,

85
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,800
they're a really good Friday guy was out of the

86
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,680
Georgia series, so they are already kind of behind the

87
00:03:55,719 --> 00:03:57,960
eight ball against the Dogs. But I mean, i'll tell

88
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,599
you what I mean. If you look at Georgia's offensive

89
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,800
Robbie Burnett and Ryland Zabarowski. You know, Zaborowski's probably been

90
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,840
one of the biggest surprises in college baseball. I mean,

91
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,120
if you go look at what he did in Miami, Ohio,

92
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:11,759
You're like, wait, where in the world did this come from.

93
00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:13,800
I mean, the guys hit there with four seventy would

94
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,399
premium power. So I think the biggest thing with Georgia

95
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,720
is they're really really powerful and offensive, and West hasn't

96
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,079
even gotten their pitching staff out then yet. Once that happens,

97
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:26,240
I mean, the skuy's a limit for them.

98
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,399
Speaker 1: Before we get to LSU Kendall, I do want to

99
00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:32,079
ask you about somebody near and dear to LSU's hearts.

100
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,160
That is Paul Menary, now the head coach at South Carolina.

101
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,920
There you go seventeen to nine overall, one in five

102
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,680
in conference play. What were your expectations maybe of the

103
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:43,839
game Cocks coming into this season and how have you

104
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:44,560
viewed their play?

105
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean my expectations at Game talks coming in

106
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,399
the season, was like, if they could just be in

107
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,199
the regional discussion, that's a successful season. I think with

108
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,000
their talent level, I don't know if they're going to

109
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,480
be in that discussion. I mean, if you look right now,

110
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,360
they don't really have like a marquee series win. They're

111
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,279
gonna have to now have ground to make up in

112
00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:07,519
the set. So it's gonna be a tough first season

113
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,279
for him, and I think the biggest thing for Paul

114
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,519
it's gonna be an adjustment. I mean, you know, when

115
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,959
you're used to being at LSU, it's like, Okay, you

116
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,680
know what, we didn't We didn't meet our expectations. The

117
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:22,160
next year, we're going to be supreme, liutalented. That's always

118
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:24,519
a guarantee in a place like LSU, and that's not

119
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,360
always a guarantee a place like South Carolina. So I

120
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:29,759
think for Paul it's gonna be one more fact, probably

121
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,519
the most fascinating offseason in the history of his career,

122
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,079
just to see the adjustments he's able to make with

123
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:35,720
that program.

124
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: Catching up with Kendall Rodgers d one baseball here on OTB. All, Right,

125
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,480
let's get to the LSU Tigers. Twenty three and three

126
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:46,319
on the season, four and two in conference play, they

127
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,199
go to Austin, Texas last weekend. They take Friday night's

128
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,199
game and Saturday's game was a great baseball game. It

129
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,519
was back and forth. LSU drops that when they allowed

130
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,519
it it looked like to bleed into Sunday. They lose

131
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,800
this series. There, you know how it is, you know

132
00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:04,639
how it works in these marquee programs. A lot of

133
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,360
questions that are being asked. I mean that Saturday game

134
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,120
was right there for then they take the leader if

135
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,199
they're able to shut the door. Probably having a different conversation,

136
00:06:12,399 --> 00:06:14,319
but just early thoughts on LSU this year.

137
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:18,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, I don't take too much you

138
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:21,839
know bad or you know good from the weekend for LSU.

139
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,120
I think, if I'm being frank, I think this is

140
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,399
a big kind of statement weekend for Texas. I think

141
00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:30,360
they had this weekend circles. I think if you look

142
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:33,279
at the energy level the last couple of games between

143
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:35,399
the two teams, I think it was obvious that Texas

144
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,279
was very much invested, which they should be in year

145
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:44,120
one under Jim Saustagle. I thought LSU the last three

146
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,879
to four as of Saturday and pretty much all the

147
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,240
Sunday's game did not play very good baseball, and yet

148
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:52,279
they still had a chance to win that series. So

149
00:06:52,879 --> 00:06:55,360
my takeaway for LSU is like, hey, we didn't even

150
00:06:55,399 --> 00:06:58,120
play very well and we you know, a couple of

151
00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:00,000
things happening here and there, we could have very easy

152
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,560
won that series. So I think on the positive side,

153
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:04,720
I still feel pretty good about the offense. I mean,

154
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:08,079
Barret Jones was I mean just awesome. You know, we

155
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,199
talked so much about his offense, and rightfully so, but

156
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:14,839
I thought his defense over the weekend was exceptional. I mean,

157
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:16,279
he saved a couple of runs with the way he

158
00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:19,519
kind of stretched out. There's almost Tray Morgan f a

159
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,040
little bit. Yeah, he's been awesome, and you know, I

160
00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:25,000
think if you look at you, Derek Curryell, he just

161
00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:28,040
continues to look fantastic. I think the biggest question mark

162
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,439
for me with LSU and I and I think it's

163
00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:32,879
something they'll I think as a season progresses, I think

164
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,959
all these younger arms will kind of settle in and

165
00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:38,079
the refine their stuff, get a little more comfortable. But

166
00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:41,199
I just thought that some of the younger guys, you know,

167
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,879
like you know, Will Schmidt, et cetera. You know they

168
00:07:45,399 --> 00:07:47,920
should premium Velocity, but they didn't show Premium Field to

169
00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:50,519
pitch over the weekending in Texas. And you know what,

170
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:53,199
it is different. I mean, I don't care what anybody

171
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,920
says about how talented anybody is. When you go on

172
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,519
the road and you're playing it front of eight thousand

173
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,319
people that are going crazy, it's different, man, It's just

174
00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:03,319
way different. And so it you know, there's gonna be

175
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,480
some growing pains in that regard.

176
00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:04,879
Speaker 3: But I thinks the.

177
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:07,759
Speaker 2: Biggest thing for LSU is, you know, what does Jay

178
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:09,800
do with the weekend rotation movie? For that's what I

179
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:14,040
Haveston actually was okay, Chase Shores was not okay. You know,

180
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,720
he missed a lot to his glove side and his

181
00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:18,680
command is gonna have to get better because guess what

182
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,160
teams are gonna do. They're gonna pop in that Texas

183
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,079
tape and you're gonna go, hey, what make this dude?

184
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,600
Their strikes? And so Chase Shorts is the name my

185
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,079
circle is kind of a guy I'm keeping an eye

186
00:08:29,079 --> 00:08:30,680
on against Missipi States this weekend.

187
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's one of those situations, Kenna, we were

188
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,200
talking about it where it's like Zach Cowen, you know

189
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,600
he can do it. Watford, you know it went out

190
00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:39,759
there a year ago when you were in the regional.

191
00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:41,600
You saw him do it. He's done it so far

192
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,399
in an LSU uniform. It's like, do we have the

193
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,519
luxury right now to try to put him on Sundays

194
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,720
because right now you have a bullpen, Like you mentioned,

195
00:08:49,759 --> 00:08:52,679
you were counting on young arms. They haven't quite yet

196
00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:54,799
caught up to the college game. It's like, Okay, can

197
00:08:54,879 --> 00:08:57,039
we take maybe our best bullpen piece, or at least

198
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,000
one of our best bullpen pieces, I mean Evans has

199
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:01,440
been great too, and put him in the starting rotation.

200
00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:04,080
Can we maybe assume we'll get the same from Shores

201
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,720
in the bullpen that we're getting from Cowen right now? Like,

202
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,320
those are the questions you're asking because it's like the

203
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,600
pitching staff right now is so thin that you're maybe

204
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,200
a little worried about moving some pieces.

205
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I would say this, and you know

206
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,919
Jay is starting to know this more than I would.

207
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,559
But here's what I think I would do. I think,

208
00:09:23,799 --> 00:09:27,240
with how just dominant that Katie Anderson has been at times,

209
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,720
I think I like the idea of him starting on

210
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,039
Friday's closing Friday out with Case and Evans, moving Cawen

211
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:35,960
to the weekend rotation, probably in that Sunday roll. I

212
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,600
would probably keep Buyingston where he is, but then put

213
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,720
Callen in that Sunday roll. Then you had the option

214
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,320
to bring Evans back out of the bullpen on Sunday. Yeah,

215
00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:47,600
and then you have the rest of your guys. That's

216
00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:49,480
probably what I would do, because I thought Evans was

217
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:51,440
actually you know, I don't want to just you know,

218
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,720
do a blankets Steven and all the young arms. I

219
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,279
actually thought Evans was really good over the weekend in Austin.

220
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,360
So again I like the idea Vanderson, Evans, Cowen on

221
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,799
Sundays and then go from there.

222
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: I like that as well. Kendall Rodgers is our guest

223
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,120
again d one baseball here on OTB. One final thing Kendall,

224
00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:11,440
before we let you go, always appreciate the time LSU

225
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:14,960
Mississippi State this weekend inside the box. Mississippi State right

226
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:18,919
now sixteen and nine overall, one in five in conference play,

227
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
and you never ever in the SEC want to assume

228
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,279
anything but LSU. Pretty nice bounce back spot right here,

229
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:28,480
considering they lost those two of three in Austin. To

230
00:10:28,519 --> 00:10:30,360
be able to have Mississippi State trying to find some

231
00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:34,080
things right now going their way coming into your home stadium.

232
00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:37,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean when you look at just how mad

233
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:39,519
Jay was at the end of that game on Sunday,

234
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,960
it gets tossed, dude, I think it's very obvious he

235
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,159
was kind of done with that game a little bit. Yeah,

236
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,120
that's not a very good sign for Mississippi State. I

237
00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:50,519
think LSU came out on fire last night against Occasions.

238
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,159
I think they're going to go into the weekend breeding fire.

239
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,480
I just think it's a really bad spot for Missippi

240
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,759
State team that did not really play complete baseball. I

241
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,840
will say this for State, I think the big key

242
00:11:00,919 --> 00:11:02,440
for them is they're going to have to get another

243
00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:05,320
great start from Pico Cone. He threw really well in

244
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,360
Norman last weekend. He's a very kind of lefty. He

245
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:10,480
can kind of keep her back your your you know,

246
00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:13,559
your objective lineup off balance. But again, if if if

247
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,879
he was just his star, there's really I mean, there'd

248
00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:18,879
be there has to be some sort of massive like

249
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
turnaround in the week in rotation the rest of the

250
00:11:21,039 --> 00:11:23,519
weekend for them to find a way to win this series.

251
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,000
So I like LA shoots out of three pretty easily

252
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:28,799
in that one that's not sweeping in all right.

253
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: There he is Kendall Rogers D One Baseball. Kendle Man.

254
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,080
We always appreciate the time. Thanks for hopping on with

255
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:35,600
great insight as always, and we'll catch up again soon.

256
00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: Thanks Jacod Man.

257
00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: I love talking baseball. I love talking college baseball, love

258
00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:44,039
breaking down like other teams in the SEC as well,

259
00:11:44,039 --> 00:11:46,120
and Kendall does a fantastic job of it, so we

260
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,200
always are thankful for his time. Actually, I kind of

261
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,799
like his idea there as well. We talked about it

262
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,759
and Elandra I saw you make the face, So go

263
00:11:53,879 --> 00:11:57,320
ahead throw the microphone over there, because I know, I

264
00:11:57,519 --> 00:11:59,200
know that you have different plans.

265
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 3: I just I just disagree with starting Cowen. Like I

266
00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:05,320
think he has to be a bullpen arm. Whether it's

267
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,360
on Friday night, Yeah, it's that, and like, yeah, Chase

268
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,639
Shores is getting hit and he really doesn't have like

269
00:12:12,759 --> 00:12:16,200
the command that he should now, but like he's gonna

270
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,480
get there, Like it's he needs to get innings under

271
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:22,240
his belt. Like and I've been saying this, they should

272
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,919
have well I'm not gonna tell anybody what they should

273
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,799
have done, but like if if it was like I

274
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,120
would have started with Chase Shores in the midweek, like

275
00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:37,120
early in the season so that he can get injury, yeah,

276
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,399
so that he could get those innings under his belt.

277
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,840
And then they kind of did that with thatcher Heard

278
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,639
when thatcher Heard was coming back from his injury, where

279
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,200
like they started him in the midweek, ended up pitching

280
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:52,519
on Sundays. But like, I just disagree with having Cowen

281
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:54,960
be the starter. And I think that like Jay does too,

282
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,120
because like I said, I did the Jay Johnson Show

283
00:12:57,159 --> 00:13:00,399
the other night and Chris asked him about that, and

284
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:03,440
he's like, I mean, there's no question that he can start, yeah,

285
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,440
But like I just don't, I don't know. Like I

286
00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:08,559
I think that you have to keep him in the

287
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:11,840
pin just off of what Jay says, where like if

288
00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:15,639
you if you need it, like Cowen is gonna win

289
00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:18,679
the game. So I I disagree with that. I think

290
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:21,159
you keep Chase Shores there, let him figure it out.

291
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: Now, I value your baseball opinion as much as I

292
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,720
do anybody, but I'm gonna throw another point at you

293
00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:28,879
to see how you feel about it. Yeah, if you

294
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,240
did move Zack into the Sunday role. Yeah, do you

295
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,240
not think Chase Shores could give you what Cowen's given

296
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,000
you in the bullpen? Yeah?

297
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,039
Speaker 4: I guess so, Like, but we also haven't seen it. Yeah,

298
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,240
it's like I guess, like you just haven't seen it,

299
00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:43,240
and like.

300
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,279
Speaker 3: He already like is shaky starting, So like I just

301
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,200
don't know if like it would be better out the

302
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:55,000
pin than it would than what it is now. But yes,

303
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,159
I can see that happening too. I just I just

304
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,559
don't know, But like I would me personally, I'd rather

305
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,600
it be the way that it's been.

306
00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: And Taite obviously jump in here as well if you

307
00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:10,120
want to. So, would it only be a certain day

308
00:14:10,279 --> 00:14:12,440
for Zach Cowen to come in for you? Like, you know,

309
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:14,440
I think we were talking about this, I think earlier

310
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,600
in the week. It's like, hey, you know, maybe another

311
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,399
day for him out of the bullpen where he can

312
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,480
go a little bit longer. Maybe your starter doesn't go

313
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:22,799
as long because on Fridays, you know you're going to

314
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,919
get some you know, strong efforts from Kate.

315
00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:28,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, what if you need Cohen two innings on Saturday,

316
00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:30,519
and then you need him on two innings on Sunday,

317
00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:32,799
and then you can do that because again, wins or wins,

318
00:14:32,879 --> 00:14:35,480
it doesn't matter where you get them. We were talking

319
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,480
about earlier about everybody saying you have to win Friday.

320
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,879
If you lose every Friday game the entire year and

321
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,639
win every SEC series, you're a top five team in

322
00:14:45,679 --> 00:14:48,320
the country and you'r a host site for everything in

323
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,759
the postseason. Wins or wins, it doesn't matter where they

324
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,000
come from. So I mean, do you throw Cowen on Sunday?

325
00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:56,840
Do you keep him for multiple days? But to your

326
00:14:56,879 --> 00:15:00,440
point about Chase Shores, like Jake, what if he's Zach Kiss? Yeah,

327
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,200
but if he's dominant out of the pen, because it

328
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,480
was the other way with s Hes was incredible as

329
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:08,120
a freshman as your closer. You tried to start in

330
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,919
the next year, he just couldn't do it. You wound

331
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,039
up moving him back. I mean, who's to say that

332
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,679
they can't be Aha Shores. Now we haven't seen it yet,

333
00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:16,720
but I mean maybe this time for some teen cream.

334
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like I don't know, to me, if you're

335
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,600
putting all your eggs in like the Friday basket, then

336
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,639
you're throwing Saturday and Sunday out the window, like it.

337
00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:29,559
Speaker 6: Just yeah, like just does not care they lost.

338
00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 4: They care that they lost on Friday. So if you're like, oh,

339
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:34,039
we got we have to win Friday, we have to

340
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:34,559
win Friday.

341
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,399
Speaker 3: I understand what you're saying, but like, you have to

342
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,960
win the series. Like the win on Friday now means

343
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,399
nothing to me. It was a great win, but it

344
00:15:43,559 --> 00:15:45,840
means nothing to me because we lost the series.

345
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 6: Texas shoes.

346
00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:50,559
Speaker 5: Yeah at this point, yeah right, I mean they took

347
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,519
two out of three, they came back after losing game one.

348
00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:54,919
Speaker 6: It's perfect.

349
00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: And this isn't like, oh, get right spot as far

350
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,480
as Misissippi State's one in five, but it's somebody that

351
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,480
you know very well. It's been a great rivalry, you

352
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:08,080
know in baseball, you know, back and forth and national

353
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,840
champs and all that type of stuff. So you're gonna

354
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,639
have the attention of the team. Yeah, Mississippi State comes in, right,

355
00:16:13,679 --> 00:16:15,200
they're not gonna really care that it's one in five.

356
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,480
And Kendall mentioned like how excited Texas was to host LSU. Yeah, right,

357
00:16:19,559 --> 00:16:22,200
I want that same thing for LSU against Mississippi State.

358
00:16:22,279 --> 00:16:25,279
So when I say it can't you know a situation

359
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,320
where you can get right. I don't mean that because

360
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,480
Misssippi State's one and five. I think because you have

361
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:32,480
Mississippi State coming into your building. You're pissed off that

362
00:16:32,559 --> 00:16:34,559
you lost two of three to Texas. You took some

363
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,759
of that out on ULL last night. I think you

364
00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:40,720
have that opportunity here to fix some things that you

365
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,679
need to work on. Adrenaline like efforts. Not anything I

366
00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:48,679
worry about, but adrenaline and Texas wanted that badly.

367
00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 4: They wanted it.

368
00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: You should want, yeah, you should want that same situation

369
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,559
against Missippi State. Yeah.

370
00:16:57,039 --> 00:17:01,519
Speaker 3: And Kendall's right about Saturday where like LSU didn't play

371
00:17:01,559 --> 00:17:04,000
their best game and they still could have won that game.

372
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

373
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:10,839
Speaker 3: So yeah, hopefully this weekend we can take out some

374
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,079
anger on the people over in Starkville.

375
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:17,599
Speaker 1: And it started. That anger started last night against ULL

376
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,400
and hopefully it can continue into the weekend. All Right,

377
00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:25,599
we will step away. More OTB coming your way. Maybe

402

Ben Rouge. I'm gonna wait to throw to Tata's story

403
00:18:46,319 --> 00:18:50,400
because I want to hear that. I'll try it away

404
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,160
as long as I could. I just want to want

405
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,720
to hear it when near the hook there. All right,

406
00:18:55,079 --> 00:18:58,559
let's get to Tata's NFL Story of the Day.

407
00:18:58,599 --> 00:19:05,079
Speaker 7: Day. It's time for Dayday's NFL Story of the Day Day,

408
00:19:05,319 --> 00:19:08,160
your daily dose of NFL news from Taylor Sharp.

409
00:19:09,799 --> 00:19:12,079
Speaker 6: This is gonna sound old, but I promise it's not.

410
00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:15,839
Speaker 5: The NFL Committee, the Competition Committee, is likely to propose

411
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,559
a change to the league's kickoff rules again again. I

412
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,200
know it could raise return rates for the twenty twenty

413
00:19:24,279 --> 00:19:27,680
five season. So the proposal, it's expected to be submitted

414
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,920
in time for next week's league meetings out in Florida,

415
00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:35,519
it would spot touchbacks at the thirty five yard line

416
00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:38,720
instead of the thirty yard line, which is already way

417
00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:42,279
too close. In twenty twenty four, obviously it was the

418
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,200
inaugural season and that revamped kickoff, they spotted touchbacks at

419
00:19:46,279 --> 00:19:48,240
the thirty yard line. They were saying that the shift

420
00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:51,720
and field position could prompt some coaches to instruct their

421
00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:54,759
kickers more often than not to place the ball in

422
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,640
the landing zone between the twenty and the goal line,

423
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:03,759
allowing for more kick return. I don't like this at all.

424
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,519
I love the kickoff. I think the kickoff still has

425
00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:09,880
a place in this game. I was one of the

426
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,599
ones that was against the kickoff rule until I saw

427
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,000
it in action and I was like, hey, you know what,

428
00:20:14,079 --> 00:20:16,799
it's not that bad. I'm not worried about any of that.

429
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,319
Giving a touchback to the thirty five yard line. This

430
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:26,279
league is already very, very offensive centered. I mean, think

431
00:20:26,319 --> 00:20:30,839
about how big of an advantage offensives nowadays in modern

432
00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:33,119
NFL football to give them the ball at the thirty

433
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,680
five yard line. I mean, you have to go less

434
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,839
than seventy yards. I don't like this at all.

435
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,319
Speaker 1: No, look, I'm not a fan, not a fan of

436
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,559
the new kickoff role because I'm biased for these special

437
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:46,400
teams players.

438
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 6: I feel.

439
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,519
Speaker 1: No, it's for player safety. We still do it at

440
00:20:50,599 --> 00:20:54,880
high school and college level. I know people want to

441
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,640
get more returns. Just back the kicker up, Yeah, back

442
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,519
the kicker up. And you're like, yeah, but you're trying

443
00:20:59,559 --> 00:21:03,279
to cut down those collisions. It's football. You know it

444
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:03,960
is what it is.

445
00:21:04,279 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, like you kind of knew that going in.

446
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,079
Speaker 1: I had, like I had teammates, they were there for that. Now,

447
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,319
when I first got into the NFL, you could have

448
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,279
like a five man wall, and the Chiefs used to

449
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,119
have like three offensive linemen and two d linemen in

450
00:21:18,279 --> 00:21:21,240
that wall. Was that fun? Hitting? It wasn't my favorite thing.

451
00:21:21,799 --> 00:21:23,519
But we're going to go in there like a bat

452
00:21:23,519 --> 00:21:25,400
out of hell and try to do anything we could

453
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,519
to break it up. Maybe that's not the smartest thing

454
00:21:27,559 --> 00:21:30,279
to do. But since they made the rules where you

455
00:21:30,319 --> 00:21:32,799
can only have a two man wall, okay, like that's

456
00:21:32,839 --> 00:21:35,319
good enough. I don't I don't know I understand for

457
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,960
player safety. Maybe I'm being too much of a meatthead here.

458
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,400
I like the old kickoff rules. Back the kicker up

459
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,000
five yards you'll have more returns.

460
00:21:42,759 --> 00:21:46,759
Speaker 5: Well, and then like, why do they keep moving the lineup?

461
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,799
You can say, okay, well we want more returns.

462
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 6: Are you sure?

463
00:21:50,839 --> 00:21:53,839
Speaker 5: Because you previously said you don't want more returns, which

464
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,200
is why you changed the kickoff rule, And then you said, well,

465
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,559
don't worry, it's going to give more returns. Well, now

466
00:21:58,599 --> 00:22:00,799
we're going to move it up. Like when I was

467
00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:03,680
growing up touchbacks worth the twenty yard line. Yeah, now

468
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,359
they're going to potentially be at the thirty five. I

469
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,839
mean that's awful that you have to go sixty five yards.

470
00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:11,720
Think about the offenses and and how centered it is.

471
00:22:11,759 --> 00:22:14,640
I'll go back to that, Like, think about the scoring

472
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,000
in the NFL today. Everyone wants to see offense. I know,

473
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,440
I think the game is so tilted towards the offense

474
00:22:20,519 --> 00:22:23,240
already giving them sixty five yards to go. I mean,

475
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:26,079
that's that's a that's nothing, because most kickers nowadays are

476
00:22:26,079 --> 00:22:27,839
going to hit fifty yarders. I mean, what you gotta

477
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,240
go fifteen twenty yards kars field goal range.

478
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: Kickers in the NFL hit fifty yards rolling out of

479
00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:36,279
bed now, yeah, like you gotta go kickers up here

480
00:22:36,839 --> 00:22:38,680
just smacking fifty yard field goals.

481
00:22:38,759 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't. I don't like this rule at all.

482
00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:42,079
Like you can't. You can't just put it at thirty five.

483
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty five, that's it. That's that's a step too far.

484
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,400
I'm with you there. Thirty is one thing that's already

485
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,079
I'm with you there as well, too far. But thirty five,

486
00:22:50,839 --> 00:22:54,119
my god, I mean, you hit you hit an eighteen

487
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,920
yard dig route, run the ball once and you got

488
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,279
a chance at a field goal. That's that is. That

489
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,519
is not something I'd be in favor of. So we'll

490
00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:06,759
see if that gets pushed through. I want to throw

491
00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:09,519
an NFL story at y'all, want to get your opinions here,

492
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,440
because we mentioned it quickly earlier. Russell Wilson going to

493
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,200
be a New York Giant. So now Jamis Jamis? What

494
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,559
a dynamic in that quarterback room? Those two personalities. I like,

495
00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:28,559
Jamis is just fun and all about team and you know,

496
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,400
make it. Russ is awkward and all about one person

497
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,480
in that room himself. That is going to be a dynamics.

498
00:23:36,519 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 5: Some of you, it's a little weird that they gave

499
00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:40,359
Jamis a two year deal. Wilson only got a one

500
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,599
year deal. I'm assuming they want Jamis to be the

501
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,440
backup for whoever they draft in twenty twenty six, because

502
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,720
I think them drafting Shad or Sanders at three is

503
00:23:49,799 --> 00:23:51,759
completely out the window now with a move like this,

504
00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:54,480
because you brought back Tommy DeVito, who I mean not great,

505
00:23:54,519 --> 00:23:55,960
but like he can come in and do some things

506
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,880
for you, Like Tommy's had some success, so you have Wilson,

507
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,880
Winston DaVita. Know, you're not drafting a quarterback, you're not

508
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,240
keeping four on this year's rosters, so that's not happening.

509
00:24:05,519 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 4: They just they.

510
00:24:08,799 --> 00:24:12,599
Speaker 5: Just didn't bring Drew lock Back, who I actually kind

511
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,480
of liked. But yeah, well, I mean, Davido, he's just

512
00:24:16,759 --> 00:24:19,039
he's in New York. He's on the team for you know,

513
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:24,279
appearances and all that crap. But you know, about two

514
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,319
weeks ago, it was reported that the Cleveland Browns really

515
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,400
wanted Russell Wilson.

516
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 6: They brought him in for a visit.

517
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 5: Wilson apparently turned down the Browns, and I get it,

518
00:24:35,599 --> 00:24:40,119
they're the Cleveland Browns. I understand that, But I mean,

519
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,400
is he in a significantly better situation? Because look, everybody

520
00:24:45,519 --> 00:24:47,799
used to clown that division with Jayden Daniels and Jalen

521
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,319
Hurts there. Now like the division went from easy to

522
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,720
tough in a hurry. I mean, is he in a

523
00:24:52,839 --> 00:24:54,720
tougher situation now?

524
00:24:55,599 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's kind of the same. But I guess

525
00:24:59,599 --> 00:25:02,119
you do have Elikue neighbors. You do if you're you know,

526
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,960
a New York Giant, Jerry Judy, if you're Brown's your

527
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,920
best receiver the situations are kind of the same. Maybe

528
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:10,240
Russ because his ego is so big, he didn't want

529
00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:14,960
to have his name attached to that jersey. He didn't

530
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,440
want to be another name on the bottom of it.

531
00:25:16,759 --> 00:25:18,599
Speaker 6: I get it. He is all about his image.

532
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 4: So I would rather live in New York than Cleveland, Ohio.

533
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 6: Oh for sure.

534
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,759
Speaker 1: The mistake by the lake, Yeah, Cleveland.

535
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,319
Speaker 4: Sierra was like, I'm not living in Cleveland.

536
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 6: That was probably deciding that I love you, my guy.

537
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,839
Speaker 1: We just lived in Pittsburgh. We are not going to Cleveland.

538
00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:40,359
That might be something. So Sanders isn't getting drafted by

539
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,559
the Giant. I wouldn't think so, but right, I mean,

540
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:44,640
if you signed, if you signed James to a two

541
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,480
year deal, you signed Russ. I mean, I know you

542
00:25:46,519 --> 00:25:49,319
don't have a lot invested in it, but do you

543
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,960
really want to have those three guys in the quarterback room?

544
00:25:52,079 --> 00:25:55,200
And it that this is a move to me that says,

545
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,759
let's push it down the road, Let's try to get

546
00:25:57,799 --> 00:26:00,799
by this year. Next year's quarterback class is much better,

547
00:26:01,319 --> 00:26:03,119
and if we suck, we'll draft a quarterback.

548
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:03,279
Speaker 7: Now.

549
00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:05,039
Speaker 3: The thing is is like that was kind of their

550
00:26:05,079 --> 00:26:07,920
strategy last year too, Like, hey, let's kick the can

551
00:26:08,039 --> 00:26:10,359
down the road and like get through this year, and

552
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,480
then next year see what happens. And it's like that

553
00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:14,359
didn't work out for you, So why do you think

554
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,599
it's going to work this year? Because it's Russell Wilson.

555
00:26:18,039 --> 00:26:19,599
Speaker 6: I do like it for one reason.

556
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 5: I hate when teams you draft a quarterback knowing that

557
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,359
after their first year, they're just going to fire the

558
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,640
head coach. In the GM, the Chicago Bears do this

559
00:26:27,839 --> 00:26:30,279
all the time. Everyone and their mother knew that Matt

560
00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:32,440
Lieberflus was going to get fired. You should have moved

561
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,480
on from him before Caleb Williams. Now it's almost like

562
00:26:35,559 --> 00:26:37,799
Caleb's starting over. He's in a new offense, he has

563
00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:39,960
a new head coach. You expect it to be better.

564
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,319
I mean, let's call it like it is. Joe Shaye

565
00:26:42,319 --> 00:26:44,319
and Brian dabol are dead men walking at this point

566
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,880
in New York. Barring something unforeseen, I would have waited.

567
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,039
I actually think this is the correct decision. Not only

568
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,799
is the quarterback class better, but I mean, you'll have

569
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,119
a new GM, you'll have a new coach in all likelihood,

570
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,599
and a quarterback. They can all grow together. Actually, I

571
00:26:58,599 --> 00:26:59,920
actually liked them waiting this year.

572
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:03,839
Speaker 1: You know what the Giants have been trash You know

573
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,200
you can fix it, trash Rangers. That's exactly right, Alando.

574
00:27:08,319 --> 00:27:11,359
Trash rangers dot com is the website two two five

575
00:27:11,559 --> 00:27:14,200
three six three nine zero five to three is the

576
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,720
number residential commercial service sign up for those rolloff dumpsters.

577
00:27:18,759 --> 00:27:21,640
If you've got your big project three different sizes to

578
00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:24,160
choose from, they're going to know exactly which one that

579
00:27:24,279 --> 00:27:28,759
you need again trash rangers dot com. So if Sanders

580
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:33,680
doesn't go to the Giants, that makes it interesting because

581
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,960
you're laying it out. I mean, there's not a lot

582
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,359
of quarterback hungry teams after that, and then you've got

583
00:27:39,519 --> 00:27:42,680
all of a sudden, the hype of Jackson Dart as.

584
00:27:42,759 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 5: Jackson Dart go before Shdor Sanders is the question I'm asking.

585
00:27:47,759 --> 00:27:50,359
I think he's going to fall because do you think

586
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,400
that if he doesn't go seven at the Jets. I

587
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,039
think that's his only option in the top ten, because look,

588
00:27:56,079 --> 00:27:58,880
the Giants weren't three. New England's not taking a QB

589
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,839
at four Jacksonville, whether you think they should or not,

590
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,720
it's not going to at five. I thought the Raiders

591
00:28:04,839 --> 00:28:07,359
was going to be all over him, but after signing Gino,

592
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,559
that's not happening. Jets at seven might be the team

593
00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:14,319
because after that it's the Panthers. Who is Bryce showing

594
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,960
the answer? Maybe maybe not, but he should promise. They're

595
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,640
probably gonna roll with him. The Saints, I don't trust

596
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,680
them at all to take a quarterback in the first round,

597
00:28:22,759 --> 00:28:25,480
and it's been fifty years. I mean the Bears forty nine, Ers,

598
00:28:25,559 --> 00:28:27,920
Cowboys ten, eleven, twelve, none of them are doing it.

599
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,119
I don't think the Dolphins do it. I mean the

600
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,279
Colts are at fourteen. No, I don't think they do

601
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,960
it either. Then you have Atlanta at fifteen, Arizona at sixteen.

602
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,559
I mean Kyler was actually okay last year seventeen, Cincinnati, No,

603
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,960
Seahawks eighteen. They just signed Darnold. The Bucks have Baker

604
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,440
at nineteen. I mean, I don't know where he falls, Like,

605
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,359
where does he go he doesn't go seven to Jets? Yeah,

606
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,240
the Steelers would be it if.

607
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,319
Speaker 1: He doesn't get right now twenty one Bason, Rudolph Skyler

608
00:28:59,359 --> 00:29:01,279
Thompson the only quarterbacks they have on their roster.

609
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean think about how far those If he

610
00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:06,039
doesn't go seven, he could go all the way down

611
00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:06,559
to twenty one.

612
00:29:06,599 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 6: I think he will.

613
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,759
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think Jackson Dart though, ends up as a

614
00:29:09,759 --> 00:29:13,480
Steelers quarterback. So okay, and they're going that's gonna be

615
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,440
a lot of people are going to say that's Kenny

616
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,359
Picket two point zero. But I think Jackson Dart's more

617
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,519
talented than Kenny Pickett.

618
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 6: I did two for sure, and well you broke it down.

619
00:29:22,759 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: And they have tiny baby hands.

620
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 6: Across the board.

621
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,079
Speaker 5: He got better every year in the SEC like that's

622
00:29:28,119 --> 00:29:29,960
not easy to do, and it was not just in

623
00:29:30,079 --> 00:29:30,839
one category.

624
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 6: But I mean, do we now think that Dark could

625
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,200
go over Sanders? I guess this is the better.

626
00:29:36,079 --> 00:29:40,839
Speaker 1: Question anytime we think we have the NFL draft figure

627
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,559
out and throws us for a loop.

628
00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:43,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

629
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,079
Speaker 1: I think the only thing that we do know is

630
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,880
cam Ward's the best quarterback right now. Yeah. I think

631
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,519
that's now. That's that is widely known. Everybody thinks the

632
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:56,880
same thought process. Cam Ward's the top guy now. Even

633
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,960
if he goes number one overall, we'll see, but he's

634
00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:02,079
the top guy. We don't really think about it. We

635
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,880
don't really know, Like this is one of those drafts

636
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,920
that we don't know what the top ten is going

637
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,559
to look like I love it like that because it's

638
00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:12,039
something where it's unpredictable and we get the oh my god,

639
00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:17,880
did you see that moment? But if Sanders doesn't go

640
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,200
at three, which I don't think he will, now, if

641
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,400
he doesn't go at seven, he could last all the

642
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,119
way down to twenty one. And you know, I just

643
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,039
don't we I say we'd hear. I think we hear

644
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:33,319
about that. We'd have to hear a whole all season. Yeah,

645
00:30:33,839 --> 00:30:37,160
about falling to number twenty one. So we will see

646
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:40,720
not a deep quarterback draft, just interesting. Russell Wilson signs

647
00:30:40,759 --> 00:30:42,519
there kind of changes a lot of the math, at

648
00:30:42,599 --> 00:30:44,160
least we assume it does. Even though it's just a

649
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,359
one year deal. It feels like the Giants are just

650
00:30:46,519 --> 00:30:48,880
going to wait another year, suck another year, and then

651
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,759
maybe select a quarterback in the next season. All Right,

652
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,680
we will take a break here more OTB when we

653
00:30:54,759 --> 00:30:56,839
come back here on one to four or five. ESPN

654
00:30:57,079 --> 00:31:03,920
bet rouge off the bench. All right. Our new sponsor

655
00:31:04,039 --> 00:31:07,599
here on OTV, somebody we're very excited to work with,

656
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,119
and that is cool. Pro HVAC. Now you go to

657
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,440
the website and one of the things we've been telling

658
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,359
you is they just do things different. They really do.

659
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,559
And that's not like us just coming up here and

660
00:31:18,759 --> 00:31:21,519
trying to tell you a story. It's just actual facts.

661
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,200
How many times have you had an appointment where it's like, Okay,

662
00:31:25,319 --> 00:31:28,559
we'll be there between eight and two, or we'll be

663
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,920
there between like noon and five, and you're sitting there,

664
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
You're waiting all day. It's like, hey, I actually have

665
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,519
work that I have to get done as well. That

666
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,440
is not the case with cool Pro. We're talking about

667
00:31:39,799 --> 00:31:43,079
one hour windows, just one hour, and also within that

668
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,160
one hour window, you're gonna be able to track your driver.

669
00:31:46,599 --> 00:31:49,200
You're gonna be able to tell exactly where they're at

670
00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:51,359
so you can plan your day, you can go about

671
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,559
your business, and they're gonna make sure that they take

672
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,240
care of any problem that you might have. That's what

673
00:31:56,359 --> 00:31:59,720
kind of service you're going to get Coolprohfact dot.

674
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,559
Speaker 7: Com Welcome back to more sports talk. What's some other

675
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,640
stuff mixed in off the bench with Hester and Ti Bob.

676
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,319
Speaker 1: What would you consider the music we've played today, because

677
00:32:10,319 --> 00:32:12,960
it is it is right in the wheelhouse for me

678
00:32:13,039 --> 00:32:13,400
as well.

679
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,839
Speaker 4: I don't know, just like nineties rock, I mean.

680
00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:18,359
Speaker 1: A little bit, but it's been some of it's two thousands,

681
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,359
but it kind of falls.

682
00:32:19,079 --> 00:32:22,599
Speaker 4: Into the nineties rock I guess adioss I.

683
00:32:22,599 --> 00:32:25,039
Speaker 1: Mean they, I mean members up Ondio Slave were certainly

684
00:32:25,079 --> 00:32:25,880
big in the nineties.

685
00:32:26,039 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.

686
00:32:28,119 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: Just vibe this whole album. Vibe incredible.

687
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,559
Speaker 4: I don't know, Like this version sounds kind of.

688
00:32:33,559 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: Weird though, turn it up this way, like do you

689
00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:41,640
play more of this on your show?

690
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 7: Yeah?

691
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,559
Speaker 3: We go some like deep cuts too, though, and well

692
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,160
even we'll even play like stuff that's not you wouldn't

693
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,880
traditionally like hear on a rock station. Like I've played

694
00:32:52,359 --> 00:32:55,680
Cheryl Crowe on there, and I've played like you wouldn't

695
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,519
hear Cheryl Crowe any other day on Eagle ninety eight

696
00:32:58,559 --> 00:33:01,480
point one. But like we played that, I played uh,

697
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,920
I played some Snade O'Connor. Oh yeah, I played some

698
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:05,839
Fiona Apple.

699
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,119
Speaker 1: So that plays for me. See that's a music station

700
00:33:10,319 --> 00:33:12,599
like that. Okay, So when you have so the Tiger,

701
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,039
they can play whatever they want because they play current Yeah,

702
00:33:16,079 --> 00:33:19,000
it's yeah, like Eagle doesn't do that, right, we don't

703
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,559
play current and they don't play current hits they play,

704
00:33:22,119 --> 00:33:25,920
so after a while it changes yeah, like how far

705
00:33:26,079 --> 00:33:28,920
back you go changes? And so I actually think Eagle's

706
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,119
probably going into its nineties grunge. I Fiona Apple kind

707
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,359
of like independent, yeah, kind of feel to it.

708
00:33:36,839 --> 00:33:41,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, uh we play Criminal by Fiona a lot.

709
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,000
But yeah, I would say I do more like traditional grunge,

710
00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:47,319
like I do a lot of Nirvana.

711
00:33:47,559 --> 00:33:49,319
Speaker 4: I do a lot of Alison chains.

712
00:33:49,839 --> 00:33:52,039
Speaker 3: Like if you're turning on coffee and flannel, you're gonna

713
00:33:52,039 --> 00:33:55,720
hear some Alison chains. You're gonna hear smashing pumpkins at

714
00:33:55,839 --> 00:34:00,279
least once you should. Yeah, I don't know. I like

715
00:34:00,359 --> 00:34:02,279
to go with like the Sheryl. I like to do

716
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,640
like the alternative kind of stuff too, Like we do

717
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,640
No Doubt. You won't hear No Doubt any other time?

718
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: So what do they play like that? That all makes

719
00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:11,960
sense to me what you're saying. So what what's Dick

720
00:34:12,039 --> 00:34:13,199
Condem playing in the morning?

721
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 3: Probably some like led Zeppelin. I've heard some ac DC

722
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,559
when I'm rolling up into the building.

723
00:34:22,039 --> 00:34:25,639
Speaker 1: You're not listening. You're not listening to Murphy Salmon Jody

724
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:26,039
like Teaba.

725
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,679
Speaker 4: I know I don't do that. I don't betray my coworkers.

726
00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: I just wonder I'm not a poodle. It's gonna be

727
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:36,400
so mad at us, and it's all gonna be I

728
00:34:36,559 --> 00:34:38,960
know it's gonna be all at me. I'm just ready

729
00:34:39,039 --> 00:34:39,239
for it.

730
00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 5: I'm just like, excuse for why he listens to Murphy

731
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,199
Salmon Jody is crap because he always says, oh, well,

732
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:47,320
you know, like I get like my.

733
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 6: Traffic updates from there. Do you know how many stations?

734
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 5: First off, three of our shows in the morning. This

735
00:34:53,519 --> 00:34:55,920
is the only station that does not do traffic. And

736
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,119
he's like, well, yeah, I get my traffic from him.

737
00:34:58,159 --> 00:35:01,280
It's just just convenient that way. Like, bro, three of

738
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,159
the four stations we own here and guarantee you have

739
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:07,599
morning traffic reports. So that's that's just a crap excuse.

740
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he likes them.

741
00:35:10,039 --> 00:35:12,599
Speaker 6: I think he likes them like I think he's given in.

742
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 4: But I'm like, oh, they're not even funny. And he's like,

743
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,800
but they're very good at what they do. I'm like,

744
00:35:20,039 --> 00:35:20,840
shut up.

745
00:35:21,599 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 5: He's like, well, you just not one of their audience,

746
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,159
Like you just don't get like they're very good at what.

747
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: I have heard I heard the other day. I'm like,

748
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,159
what do you mean, we're very good at what we do?

749
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,159
Speaker 7: To you do too.

750
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:36,199
Speaker 6: No, but yeah he did.

751
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: She said that.

752
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,039
Speaker 5: He was like, well, like you just don't get it

753
00:35:39,079 --> 00:35:40,719
because you're not in that audience. But like, trust me,

754
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:41,719
they're actually really good.

755
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:44,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, because you're their audience.

756
00:35:46,199 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 3: It makes me so mad, Like he's like one of

757
00:35:48,519 --> 00:35:52,159
those people that will like play Devil's Advocate and I'm like, stop,

758
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:53,840
just stop.

759
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 4: They they're not funny. Just leave it at that.

760
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: We're going to them one day when the days or

761
00:36:00,519 --> 00:36:02,559
we could just get nominated for Best Sports Show and

762
00:36:02,679 --> 00:36:06,320
we as well. That is you know what now that

763
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,119
you say that, because that is such a layup. No, no, no,

764
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,840
I want to stay so I don't want it. I

765
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,320
want to stay in Best Morning Show and one day

766
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,559
somebody in the middle of this country because that's who

767
00:36:17,679 --> 00:36:22,280
votes in Indiana's Kansas and Illinois and Kansas and all

768
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,599
these states that are well, Kansas is a flyover state.

769
00:36:26,639 --> 00:36:28,800
I guess I've drove. I drove through there a couple

770
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,480
of times. My in laws were in too. Peka. I

771
00:36:30,559 --> 00:36:33,239
did not know like tumbleweeds were a real thing until

772
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:37,280
I drove from Denver to Topeka. They are. But you

773
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,440
know what that's also like if they send it to

774
00:36:39,519 --> 00:36:41,440
somewhere that had a little bit more of a vibe

775
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,920
to it. We would probably win. Who listened to Murphy

776
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,679
Sam and Jody Tumbleweeds, Yeah, the Midwest and a lot

777
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,559
of other people apparently whatever.

778
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 3: And it just like makes me so angry when he

779
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,880
says that. And like to Taylor's point about like him

780
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,320
waiting on a traffic report, do you not have ways?

781
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,679
Speaker 4: Download the bob you won't ever need to wait on

782
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:03,599
a traffic report for.

783
00:37:03,639 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: You, and it'll tell you the way to go. I've

784
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,079
got a couple of places that I go in my

785
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,800
life that I can get there with my eyes closed,

786
00:37:12,039 --> 00:37:14,679
but I use ways, Yeah, because I want to know

787
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,960
what the traffic situation is exactly right. My son practices baseball,

788
00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:22,519
Both my boys, my middle Boys members and Hudson at

789
00:37:22,599 --> 00:37:25,760
Jefferson Baptist shout out to the lug nuts right as

790
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,239
the crow flies. It ain't very far from our house,

791
00:37:29,079 --> 00:37:30,880
but that crow's got to take a lot of different

792
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,159
ways to get there. Yeah, all right, the traffic is

793
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,880
not fun at five o'clock, I'm gonna put it in ways.

794
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,679
I'm gonna see which way I need to go. That's

795
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,920
gonna be my traffic report. I don't need Murphy, Sam

796
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,920
and or Jody to tell me that. I need them

797
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:51,320
to tell me about getting your nails done in the

798
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,079
car wash and putting contacts in.

799
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 4: I guess I just don't put number enough.

800
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: I think Murphy, Sam and Jody know about us.

801
00:38:03,079 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 4: No, I mean Murphy came up and started talking to

802
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:08,159
Matt at the table.

803
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: I think they're in cahoots.

804
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,519
Speaker 3: I was about to say, does this mean they're no,

805
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,119
they know Matt. I think, guys, I know what we're

806
00:38:15,199 --> 00:38:18,159
doing wrong. We have not posted not one recipe video

807
00:38:18,199 --> 00:38:19,480
on O TV's instagram.

808
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:21,639
Speaker 6: Shoe I got one. I'll give out my orange orange

I can do it, Okay, I'll come up with a

816
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:46,159
meathead Monday recipe. All right, just steak and tightters. We'll

817
00:38:46,199 --> 00:38:48,639
come up with that. Okay, we'll put it on t

00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,119
Bob and Taylor. I can't let you put out orange chicken.

819
00:38:51,639 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 6: I don't know how to make anything else good.

820
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,079

this time of year is really the one where you're

906
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,159
going to notice it. Love the outdoor shade we have,

907
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,719
I mean, so it's on it kind of screens in

908
00:43:14,039 --> 00:43:16,880
our back porch and you can drop that thing down

909
00:43:17,159 --> 00:43:20,679
and as it heats up, you can still enjoy being outside.

910
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,920
I mean, Harlow loves it. The dogs will go sit

911
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,519
out there because it's going to cool that space off, right,

912
00:43:27,119 --> 00:43:29,840

913
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,119
you're gonna save on that as well. And if you're

914

trying to watch TV, we all know, like the sun

915
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,519
just shining right there on it in the living room.

916
00:43:36,679 --> 00:43:39,800
The outdoor shade you drop, that thing takes the glare off,

917
