Speaker 1: Off the bench. We have to Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where.
Speaker 1: The plays get broken down and science gets denied to.
Speaker 2: Come off the bench.

Kine Studio.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back here off the Bench. Our number
two river is still wet. Just a little news flash
for you.
Speaker 3: Not an arroyo.
Speaker 2: Nothing at Arroo. I didn't say that at all. Can
you say it?
Speaker 3: What arroyo?
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 4: I can't say it like that.
Speaker 2: That's what I meant. Like you say it like probably
the real way.
Speaker 3: I can say it.
Speaker 2: Would you?
Speaker 5: One time Terryo was sitting up there making me translate
every sentence he was saying, and started calling me Rosetta Stone.
Would you would you translate that?
Speaker 3: Rosetta?
Speaker 2: I like it?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I just saw we were going to talk about some
l Shue stuff here, but I just saw some breaking
news come across. But before we get to that, let's
make sure we get this show started.
Speaker 1: It's time to get glowing courtesy of go Flow Ivy spa,
where hydration vitamins and a summer ready glow are always
on tap. Now for starters.
Speaker 2: I kind of got you there. I made you look
that way, and then I got it started. Boom nailed it.
Speaker 3: The Robert Croft stuff came across the wire.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to go to go flow ivy,
Go flow ivy Spa. It is starting to warm up

a bunch of information and been working out training for
a marathon or a hybrid Rockstar event. Got some soreness,
you can go get that worked out. Go check it out.
Go flow ivy, Go flow ivy dot com. Yeah, so
I just saw some little breaking news in the NFL. So,
of course, last week Bill Belichick got snubbed from the
Hall of Fame first ballot Hall of which was absolutely ridiculous.
Robert Craft will also not be in the Hall of
Fame this year's as the owner eleven Super Bowl appearances,
six Super Bowl wins, I believe pretty much the most
successful at least current owner that is in the NFL.
He is getting snubbed as well, did not receive enough
votes for Hall of Fame enshrinement. So the hit is
out on the New England Patriots run. And I'll be
super curious to see is this going to carry over
to Tom Brady when it comes because obviously the Patriots
are getting punished by the voters, and the voters did
not take kindly. I guess everybody was bashing them last
week about Bill Belichick. Yeah, they didn't really care. Robbercraft
didn't get enough votes, so that really leads me to
believe that unless the voters change the rules, change on
the voting process, that it's going to be a photo
finish for Tom Brady. Can y'all even imagine that? Like
Tom Brady is the goat quarterback, so we can't imagine it.
But Bill Belichick is the goat coach, and we couldn't
imagine that as well. So if it happened to these two,
Bill Belichick, Robert Craft, then why wouldn't happen to Tom Brady?
Speaker 4: That was my question. I asked it a little bit
on Friday, like is Tom Brady and jeopardy of not
having a first ballot Hall of Fame? Because as far
as I'm concerned, when Tom Brady's name pops up, it
should take about twenty seconds. So that's about how long
it is to count all fifty yes. Is to vote
this guy unanimously into the Hall of Fame. I said
it earlier. I don't like Robert Craft, hell, I don't
even like Bill Belichick, But to not put those guys in,
like it taints the Hall of Fame is what it does.
Like these people should have to come out and say, hey,
I voted this way one way or the other like,
if you feel confident enough to turn in that ballot
to the Hall of Fame, you should be confident enough
to let the general public see it and explain it.
I mean, there's word coming out now that like most leave.
It's not proven, but most believe that Bill Pollion is
one of the ones leaving this charge. Whether that's true
or not whatever, that's not for me to decide unless
the actual ballot comes out.
Speaker 3: But that feels pretty true.
Speaker 2: It does.
Speaker 5: He's the one that was like rallying the troops, like allegedly.
But I mean, if everybody's saying that that's what's happened,
and then you ask him and he can't remember what
he voted. Yeah, Like, if you're gonna be petty and
you're gonna be one of those people that's like rallying
the troops against Bill Belichick, then be that person.
Speaker 3: Don't don't count away whenever people like, were you the
one that didn't? I don't remember?
Speaker 4: I remember?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: You do remember? You know exactly what you voted. How
do you not remember what you voted? When you do?
Speaker 2: Just like you're filling out a scantrone and it's Bill Belichick,
yes or no? You know what you wrote.
Speaker 4: Down, see right, and like you were talking about, okay,
well unless the voters changed, the voters should change, because
if you're Bill Pollion and you're asked, I don't remember
if I voted for Bill Belichick, One you lied and
you didn't, so your vote should be taken away or
two you're too damn senile to remember who you actually
voted for, and guess what your vote should still be
taken away from you? Like this is ridiculous. I don't
really understand what we're doing, Like who's good enough for
the Hall of Fame now, because like there's some people
in there, Like okay, what if somebody gets in the
Hall of Fame and they've had accusations against them, are
you gonna take their bust away from them?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I went to the Hall of Fame a couple of
years ago. Guess what, everybody's bust is still there. Nobody's
ever been taken away and replaced, Like this is ridiculous.
Don't be the MLB, Yes, don't be the MLB in
all high might. Nobody deserves you, nanimous, Like, get out
of here with that crap.
Speaker 2: So both of these instances are absolutely ridiculous, And do
tarnish the Hall of Fame absolutely, and what is what
to me is unfair about it. There's a lot of
things unfair about this. Well, for one, you tell me
that Bill polly in I'm never thought about like Bill
polm be the bad guy, but like now that I
look at his face, I can be like, yeah, I
can definitely see that guy being petty and trying to
do some sort of conspiracy behind the bag. Get and
make sure there's not forty votes, because I believe you
need forty of fifty votes. The NFL did come say
after like the outrage of the Bill Belichick, they did
say that anybody not following the protocol can have But
what is the protocol? Is there a protocol like if
can you not lobby for votes? Is this like can
you not?
Speaker 3: Feels like a pretty standard protocol that should be in place.
If it's not already.
Speaker 2: Right, you should just do it. Should be some sort
of blind voting you don't like, but if you have
a vote, if there's only fifty of them, so there
probably should be more voters than fifty to stop some
of this. But what's kind of sad to me? Uh,
there's a lot of things. Of course, but a lot
of the other finalists that are still in it, the
people that make the Hall of Fame this year, it's
going to have an asterisk by it. Maybe not by
their name specifically, but like this class in general, like
the messaging, the talk even at the Hall of Fame
ceremony is going to be, well, congrats to them. But
fellow Chick and Robert Kraft aren't inn They're not first
ballot guas, so they're that that conversation is going to
be so loud you won't really hear a lot of
the conversation about the people. Uh. And there's some like
first time Drew Brees is gonna be on the ballot
for the first time, Larry Fitzgerald, Frank Gore, Eli Manning, Like,
I'm not saying that these guys will make it or not,
but if they do, I mean, Drew Brees should be
certainly yeah first like.
Speaker 4: Eli Manning, I get it. Should Larry should be. Friday
Eli actually got word. He did not he did not
receive enough votes.
Speaker 2: Okay, look, Vinitary is also up for it, which he
should as well. But if the other people are not
getting in Vinitarry is kind of in that same boat
on time kick for the their patriots for that run.
I know he kicked at other places as well, but
well he get punished. No idea, but it is sad
that in this time that celebrated career, they're the conversation
about Belichick, Belichick not getting in, Robert Kraft not getting
it is going to be so loud that you can't
really discuss anything else.
Speaker 5: I think Bill Pollion, despite him not quote unquote remembering
what he voted, needs to sit out the rest of
the votes. They need to take him off whatever. He
needs to not have a vote, and he needs to
not have a say. And because he's very obviously the
one that spearheaded this, you.
Speaker 4: Got to you gotta change the whole class because if
he's got enough pool to get at least eleven guys
in his part ten outside of him, you got to
change the whole thing and like sorry, those that have
done it right and have actually voted fairly, you got
to go to the whole Thing's got to be redone.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about owners. Jerry Jones Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4: He'll make it. He'll make it like first ballot. I
don't know, I mean, you know, it's it's one of
those things. But you got to think he still won
multiple Super Bowls as an owner, and it's still a
very valuable franchise. He still brought a lot of success.
Now he hasn't had success later on, but he'll make it.
Speaker 2: Let me talk, let me ask some of that's not
tainted versus Jerry Jerry Jones Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5: I think he'll end up being in it. I don't know, like,
has he been up for it.
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I don't even know what the
rules for an owner. Why is Robert Kraft?
Speaker 5: Actually don't really get why Robert krat I don't get
why owners.
Speaker 3: Are being voted into Hall of Fames When I.
Speaker 2: Would say that Jerry Jones is certainly should be a
first ballot Hall of Fame or just because of what
he's done, he changed the change the game for owners.
Speaker 3: I think he should be in the Hall of Fame.
Is he going to be first ballot?
Speaker 2: I don't know, But I bring that up because in
a recent press conference, it's like a month ago or
whenever it was, he basically said he was asked about
the question, you're going to continue to be involved in
that going forward? Of course, we all know the answer
to that, but he said, yeah, the goal is to
catch Robert Kraft. He's got the most the goals to
catch him. You're not going to do it. That's the goal.
The gold standard is Robert Kraft. So we're talking about
a for sure Hall of Fame owner and Jerry Jones saying,
I'm trying to catch this guy, and that guy is
not going into the Hall of Fame. And then you
got the head coach that he is objectively the greatest
head coach in the NFL of all time not going in.
So what a kind of a tarnished bad luck, black
eye on the Hall of Fame. And I think we
all think there's some questions like why I even have
a Hall of Fame anymore? You got to have Hall
of Fame is awesome. The Hall of Fame is great,
but when you do things like this, the Hall of
Fame committee, the people that run I'm assuming there's some
sort of committee that runs it, the NFL runs it,
whoever it is. It's not an anonymous vote. They know
the names behind the people that didn't not vote yes
to this. So at minimum these people need to be
questioned on why. And I think the public should have
that information. We won't really ever know the why. But
the NFL, the people that run the Hall of Fame,
should basically have a cross examine all of these voters
and figure out why and seriously consider taking a vote
away if their reasonings aren't realistic.
Speaker 3: Wait, shout out, Champ, Jerry Jones is in the Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 2: Oh is he there? We go? We just like something.
Speaker 3: Robber Craft, that's it, that's.
Speaker 4: Our even said he's chasing him.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So apparently in twenty seventeen he got inducted into the
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: Nailed it.
Speaker 3: I had no idea, told y'all, I don't care for
Jerry Jones.
Speaker 2: Well, he's a format of the question, like Jerry Jones
Hall of Fame, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, making me think that he's not in there.
Speaker 2: I knew it the whole time.
Speaker 4: Been first ballot Hall of Famers George Hallis, Curly Lambeau,
Tom Landry, Chuck Nold, Don Shula, Bill Belichick had more
success than all of those guys, all of them.
Speaker 2: Bill Long, Bill, Come on, voters, take their votes away,
ban them.
Speaker 3: Stop the vote, stop the count.
Speaker 2: They all know what hanging Chad is. What hanging Chad.
Speaker 4: Chad, who is just hanging out?
Speaker 2: Jep oh miss.
Speaker 4: There was a lot of them in on New Orleans recently.
Speaker 2: It was the I believe it was. Was it George W.
Bush versus Uh in the election with Al Gore? I
believe the vote that they had to recount all because
they used to like you used to punch it was
like a scantron that like, but it wasn't right yet.
You had to punch it out. They had to punch
it out, and they said they punched it and there
was there was hanging on by a little thread, so
they didn't all the way punch through. So I didn't
read right.
Speaker 3: So that was a hanging Chad and hanging Chad.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I called it a chad. Maybe
I'm misremembering that.
Speaker 3: Maybe they was Pretty's name on the scantron was Chad.
Speaker 4: Maybe he does it every year and they just always
pissed at him.
Speaker 3: Freaking Chad.
Speaker 2: Anyway, they'll pull in the voters hanging chads.
Speaker 4: You gotta write it taking Chad.
Speaker 2: Nailed it, dude, Wonder why wonder what Chad means? Anyway,
you voters yes, suck, yes stink, You're a loser. They'll
pull in. I don't even know if the rumors are right,
but I can just see it in your face that
the rumors are correct.
Speaker 3: Where there's smoke, there's fire.
Speaker 2: There's definitely. I mean, you don't remember you voted for Chad.
Speaker 4: Refers to the actual fragment. So the little circle that's
punched out called Chad, so when it still.
Speaker 2: Just wondering why it was called a chad, I love it.
Well anyway, you heard it here. We're not happy about it,
this group of three, and we confirmed that this in
the first hour. That y'all hate dynasties.
Speaker 5: That's I don't. I hate certain dynasties. I'm very choosy
with the dynasties that I hate. And there's just something
about the Patrick Mahomes that just really bothers me.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you don't like people and you can't you something
about their face, but they.
Speaker 3: End up doing something that proves me right.
Speaker 5: So something's going to come out about Patrick Mahomes and
the Chiefs at some point, even if.
Speaker 2: It's little on you. I told you gotta speeding ticket,
told you.
Speaker 5: Spaing ticket is the nest of that family ticket and
with his dad out on the road, you should clear.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 2: That's a good point. All right, we're gonna got a
break here. But Taylor is there's some little ls recruiting
news there could be could be. Well, you're gonna stay tuned.
After the break, off the.
Speaker 4: Bench, Off the bench, Go to go Tommy's.
Speaker 2: Yo, tom Me Yo, Tommy Iver. We go with the
accident and everything love it. Go to go Tommy's dot com,
Tommy's Windows, Doors, siding. If you got a project happening
over at your house, have you got maybe you're maybe
you got a brand new project. Maybe you're building a home,
maybe you're doing a little renovation, or maybe you just
have got to replace some doors, got to replace some windows,
maybe a little right we had to when we moved
into our house. We made a bunch of roader windows
right of doors. They had to replace it. Go to
go Tommys and talk to them about your project. We know,
like it's a big deal when you have these projects
happening and you're gonna cost people. Get the best price.
You know, work with somebody that you feel comfortable with.
Your thing is gonna do the job. Well, I can
tell you. Make sure you give Tommy's a call. Talk
to them about the project, see what they can do,
get that pricing from them, and just talk about how
they operate. And there is a reason why they award
afterward award Super Service Award every year since twenty sixteen.
Do you have a product, make sure you call them.
Go Tommy's dot Com.
Speaker 1: From the locker room to the airwaves. Gets off the
bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back here off the bench. We just
talked about Hall of Fame snubs and those votes should
be thrown in the trash. You know the best trash
removal services in Louisiana trash Rangers trash rangers dot com.
Go check out commercial residential trash removal. It doesn't matter.
You have a big business, you have a small business.
Whatever it is, they can handle your trash removal needs.
Whether it's one pickup a week, maybe it's six pickups week,
it doesn't really matter. Roll off dumpsters they got three
different sizes to choose from, and I recently used some
roll off dumpsters over at the house. We were cleaning
out stuff. Kids are getting older, so new things got
to be bought, new clothes, so stuff. You know, whatever
it is, whether it's old toys, whether it's just random
stuff that it's got to be cleaned out. And flat
rate pricing on roll off dumpsters, which is something I've
never seen before. They don't have any extra fees on
the back end, no dumpage fees, no tonnage fees, whatever
it is. And you know, getting ready for the parade
season as well, you're gonna be hosting a party near
a parade route. Make sure you get a trash ranger's
sanitation apartment, those portable toilets. Let them pick the trash out,
let them take the sanitation out as well. Don't let
those people in your house use your powder room. Knowing
that trash Rangers portable toilet they are number one and
picking up number two. Trash rangers dot com, Hi Tata,
I hear a little every now and then we get
little LSU football nugget. We got a little nugget today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, ils you believe it or not. I'm Matt like
you felt they were done. You know, forty two is
enough transfers nonsense. Forty three is that sweet spot. They
have added Juco offensive lineman Adrian Lamb from the Georgia
Military Academy. Sounds like something straight off major pain. But
Adrian Lamb joining the team sixty six three hundred pounds.
He was a three star in the portal. But you
guys know how I feel about star rankings. Don't care
about him at all. Look, he visited Alabama, Auburn, South Carolina,
multiple other SAC programs. Like I always look at a
guy's offer list instead of his stars, because no offense
don't win three Like those guys aren't coaches. I don't
really care what they have to say. Sure, if everybody
goes after a guy, I totally get it, and uh,
he will be in this class. So it will be
twenty twenty six eight transfer offensive lineman for LSU. You
added three in the national signing class and then you
have five returners. You're looking at bodies on that offensive line.
I mean, I understand I don't have a ton of experience,
but the bodies are there for sure.
Speaker 2: And that was certainly the area of emphasis on when
we when we talked about it before the portal window opened.
Was certainly offensive line. You just needed bodies. You had
a lot of people leave out LSU on the offensive line,
so you had to get a lot more and certainly
a weak spot on the team last year. Whether it
was the player's fault, coach's fault, scheme fault, whatever it was,
it doesn't really matter. It was a weak portion of
the LSU football team last year. So Lane train keeps
a rolling.
Speaker 4: I a bad news for you, though you're not gonna
like this. You want to see his commitment picture no
backwards L from Lane.
Speaker 2: Oh, I need a minute. I felt like he had
been so careful and purposefully not doing a backwards L.
I think this is devastating for LSU fans.
Speaker 4: That's like strike one for Lane. Is this it?
Speaker 2: This is strike one for me? Three strikes You're out,
bud Man, I'd been so pleased.
Speaker 3: He didn't like that he wasn't wearing gear.
Speaker 2: I didn't like. Okay, so I strike too, and he
didn't wear gear all right. So I was very hopeful
that the new regime would bring in, bringing into all
the bad things from the Bryan Killer Ara. Well, one
thing is stuck around and it's the backwards L. This
is ridiculous. Can we stand on the other side of it? Yeah,
stand on the other side of it, or just do
it out or don't do it now? How about that?
Speaker 4: Because Adrian Lamb's not throwing to just get on the
other side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, CD's cousin seed Lamb.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's true or not. So we're
gonna roll with it.
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, Lamb. Just don't do the backwards out come on.
You got rid of the toy box for recruits, which
was great. That was positive. You moved up one rung
in my book, but you throw the backwards out you
move down like ten rungs. This is an indictment on
the on the plane Kiffin regime right here at the backwards.
So you've done a lot of good things. Forty three
players in the transfer port you're adding offensive line, and
you get three of the top five people in the
transfer portal. Great, that's all great, but you kind of
just poop pooed on all that with the backwards L.
In my opinion, so I don't like it, don't love it.
I wish you wouldn't shown me that. Actually, now I'm
in a bad mood.
Speaker 4: Guys, and the people in the chap where we know
the l's not actually backwards iss and as backwards people
being like, guys, the old's nod backwards.
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about he moved his
hand perfectly, so it's not backwards. I am still of
the opinion that the L shouldn't even be a thing.
That's just my opinion.
Speaker 3: Every school or team has a something that they do, so.
Speaker 2: Not no, I don't. Yeah, I mean like I mean
like the old Southwest Conference. Every team had one the
old Southwest Conference. But like outside of the south old
Southwest Conference, I don't think many teams really have anything
besides like the gator chomp. But that's not like the
one handed things like you don't need to know. Elly
A and M has it, Baylor has it, Texas has it,
Texas Tech has it, the horn Frogs have it, I think.
Speaker 3: Or something.
Speaker 2: I can't remember what it is.
Speaker 3: I don't know why I think it's.
Speaker 2: And I'm trying to think if I can't remember, Arkansas
Excess might just I'm trying to think of Oklahoma and
Arkansas have one.
Speaker 5: I don't think Oklahoma does because they were all part
of the Southwest logo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so maybe just.
Speaker 3: A Texas schools had no idea. I thought everybody did it.
Speaker 2: I know, just think, just try to think.
Speaker 4: Uh in the SEC, so Louisiana teg does similar to
I guess.
Speaker 3: I never thought about it. Okay, yeah, don't they do that?
Speaker 4: Yeah they did, they do it, similar to it's all.
Speaker 3: Weird, like because Jake has tried to show up before.
Speaker 4: Okay, go dogs, Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2: But we don't need I'm just trying to say, we
don't need the like I do, like the hand signal.
I think a lot of high school teams have hand
signals as well.
Speaker 3: So what would you do like a tiger?
Speaker 2: I would you just do nothing?
Speaker 4: Or a claw?
Speaker 2: Just just be an alpha and just stand there. Baylor
does it, Baylor does the second. So you can't do that.
Speaker 3: So does.
Speaker 2: You want to say that, do you? Whatever it is,
don't do the backward now if you just go rock
and roll, rock and roll tagers, rock and roll, rock
and roll saying hybrid rockstar. I'm getting a t shirt
made rock and roll tags rock and roll tigers.
Speaker 3: Let me just throw up. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just do nothing, Just sit there and be the alpha.
You are the person people chasing thumbs up. They already
got that. Oh yeah, true, gross, it's only so many things.
Speaker 3: What does even mean? What is an aggie?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: I've looked this up, so gig them, gig them. I
believe it was their TCU rivalry. It's something about like
gigg and frogs, which standing played TCU anymore. So it's stupid.
It's something like that.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 3: We need Jake here so that he could do the
mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: He does it pretty good. I think it. Aggie's originally
like a farmer.
Speaker 3: Right, okay, like agriculture.
Speaker 2: That makes sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so the Spearing Frogs was referred to as gig.
It was a dig at the TCU horn.
Speaker 5: Everything about Texas A and M is about them, like
another school living rent free in their head, like their
song is saw them off.
Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, though, the guy who created like
the phrase Giga, Maggie's good name, pinky Downs.
Speaker 2: Pinky down, Pinky Downs is a good name.
Speaker 3: I just agree.
Speaker 4: You know whose cousin is, right. He sounds like his
cousin thumbs up. He's pinky downs like that sounds like
a made up name.
Speaker 2: Definitely, come on.
Speaker 5: My e f lamb joke went right over y'all's head,
and it was funny.
Speaker 3: He said, cousin em got it.
Speaker 4: Sheep.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. I thought you were going to come back
with like some sort of CDs joke. Yeah, anyway, moral
of the story is LSU kicking ass in the transfer
line in the court of public opinion, not looking great
because of the Backrodell. I hope word can get too
Lane about this. I would love to talk to him
about it. He needs to come on the show. We
get all the head coaches. We need to get Lane
on the show. So if you're listening, personal invitation, I'm
going to.
Speaker 3: Go to his pilates class and just ambush him.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you're you're personally invited to come in studio as well.
That'd be fantastic. We would love to talk to you.
We'd love to have you on the show, and I
do that's I need to ask him about the backwardell.
Like nobody wants it. Nobody out there wants it at all,
So let's get rid of it.
Speaker 3: I think he'll be so impressed by my endurance that he'll.
Speaker 2: Come in the yoga class.
Speaker 3: Yeah, who like, dang, this broke can do pilates.
Speaker 4: You gotta put the like right next to his right
next like uncomfortably closed.
Speaker 3: Because all the other girls aren't going to be next.
Speaker 2: You get there early, so if you get a reserve
a spot, you got a reserve spot in lanes class.
Good for him.
Speaker 3: Yea yoga, but don't do the backwards.
Speaker 2: Don't do the backwards out. Whatever can go to get
to forty four. Keep getting them, stacking them stack stack stack.
All right, we're gonna go to break. Y'all know how
much the Super Bowl commercials cost this year? Just say no, absolutely,
we're gonna find out when we're gonna find out.

Arkill on the team in the foxhol with us for
any companies out there that are looking to kind of
get your name out a little bit, kind of tell
people what kind of business you're doing. Super Bowls a
great place to run an ad. Got a lot of viewership.
I think one hundred and twenty seven point seven million
viewers at Super Bowl last year, which was over a
three percent raise from the year before, so continued growth.
You can expect probably around one hundred and thirty million
viewers to average watching the Super Bowl that's that's not
you know, whatever it's. I don't know when it spikes
or whatever, but I'm sure that those numbers are staggering.
But an average of one hundred and thirty million viewers
are expected to be watching the Big Game on Sunday.
Eight million dollars for thirty seconds of ad space is
what they're selling. And even some of the premium spots
going for ten million dollars for some of these ads
eight million dollars. So the last couple of years, it's
been about seven ish, So I would venture to guess
that there's going to be a lot of fifteen second
ads out there this year. But eight million dollars is
a staggering amount of money. Now, is it the greatest
advertising opportunity in the world? Yes, there is no other place.
Can you get that many viewership and that any eyes
locked on with that amount of like emphasis on the
actual commercial itself, I don't There's people at every Super
Bowl party that will go to the bathroom and get
their food while the game's being played, just so they
can make it back for the commercial. So it's a
big deal. We all know it's a big deal. Eight
million dollars is a staggering amount of money and if
you can afford it, I'm sure the ROI is impressive
if you nail it, but you have to nail it,
a lot of pressure on these directors, these producers, these innovative,
creative people. But it got to be wondering a little bit,
like throughout the years, what has the cost been for
Super Bowl nineteen sixty seven? What do you think it
costs to run an AD.
Speaker 3: In nineteen sixty seven?
Speaker 2: Sixty seven Super Bowl AD?
Speaker 3: Ten thousand dollars?
Speaker 4: I will say sixteen hundred, sixteen hundred.
Speaker 2: Okay, those are I like where your head is at.
I saw this number and I was like, this was
probably actually a pretty decent amount of money for that
time period. Thirty seven thousand, five one hundred dollars for
an AD. Now to who knows what it is they
I couldn't find the information. I don't know if it
was like it could have been a five minute ad,
who knows. I don't know if they like separated it
by that much back in the day. But yeah, thirty
seven thousand, five hundred the first ever Super Bowl at
costs in nineteen sixty seven. You'll remember who won the
first Super rule.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a Green Bay Packers won. The first
two Packers sook it. One of the reasons you couldn't
have fifteen up there, Matt.
Speaker 2: That is one of the reasons I asked for it,
and you were like, I don't get it. Who's a
part star. Nineteen ninety five was the first year that
the price of a Super Bowl AD reached one million dollars.
Then by the year two thousand it spiked up. It
was two million dollars. So it is right. It has
been gone up a little bit each and every year.
By twenty eleven we were at three million dollars. Four
I've seen four million dollars twenty seventeen, five, twenty twenty
two was the first year it got over six, and
then the last couple of years it's been seven. So
this year eight and it has gone up to ten
for like the more premium times, which I would assume
is right before kickoff, yeah, probably leading into halftime.
Speaker 5: Only people that don't watch the Super Bowl watch the halftime.
Speaker 4: Show, right, I would say, right before the halftime show. Yeah,
I mean that's that's the.
Speaker 2: I would say everybody, but everybody tunes in for national anthem.
I feel like so like right before the game, I
would say first game in the game, the first two
or probably premium spots as well, maybe first commercial after
the Super Bowl, like leading into second half. So yeah,
now you are informed. Like if anybody ever asked the
around the water cooler or like trivia night, well, trivia night,
what's it cost eight million dollars for a thirty second spot?
So of course you do the math. There will be
probably a decent amount of fifteen second ads. I think
I saw more like fifteen second ads, and they might
even cut it down to some five and ten second ads.
I think. I feel like I remember some really short
ones last year. So if you run half that fisty second,
of course it would be four million. It's a lot
of keiche, a lot of cheese out there being thrown
around to get your name out. So we'll see who
that eliminates from the commercials. But certainly excited. That's always
one of my favorite parts is watching the commercials and
then of course talking about the commercials afterwards, which brings
us back to our little fun props bet sheet. Let's
keep it rolling. So we did the first four questions.
I'm a little bit behind here, so we're gonna catch
up a little bit. All right, We're gonna go on
to our fifth question and our fun prop bet sheet.
If you're just tuning in, we got this. We got this. Basically,
it's a fun little super Bowl if you're throwing a
super Bowl party, it's a prop bet sheet. We got
twenty three questions plus a tiebreaker, so it's twenty four
that we are asking. We're going to go through, and
whoever between us and the tripod here gets it gets
the turnover chain on Monday. Okay, all right, so next question,
First team to score Seahawks Patriots. That can be any score,
doesn't have to be a touchdown.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna Seahawks.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm actually I'm actually gonna go Seahawks as well.
Speaker 2: Rashi s ooh, you're calling the player. All right, return,
I'm going to go Patriots because I believe they're gonna
win the coin toss and they're gonna send a message.
They're gonna say, I want the ball. The scoring firston
want the ball field goal. We're gonna get crazy three
nothing Patriots. All right, next question, first score of the
game will be touchdown field goal safety.
Speaker 4: Like will you're asking like ye.
Speaker 2: Will it be a touchdown? Will it be a field goal?
The first score of the game? Oh, field goal, field goal?
Speaker 3: Okay, I think I'm gonna go touchdown.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna go field goal as well. Just because
I said it, I didn't know that question was actually coming. So,
but Landra, I kind of like where your head's at.
Will there be a score in the first six and
a half minutes of the game? Yes, no, so bye?
With halfway through the first yeah, with eight minutes and
what is thirty seconds left in the first quarter, it'll
be zero zero? Yeah you're saying yes, say yes.
Speaker 3: I'm putting no thought behind these yeah.
Speaker 2: Hm hmmm, I'm gonna go know as well. I'm gonna
say zero zero, all right? First t D score jersey
number over or under twenty four and a half on
the jersey number under?
Speaker 4: Okay, touchdown, Yeah, I'll go, I'll go under. I think
I think Kenneth's Walker score.
Speaker 2: What's his number? He's number nine, He's number nine, Jay
sensor eleven, yep, under under? Is it for sure? All right?
Speaker 4: All the all the Patridge receivers are under twenty four
or so. Basically at Lessard's Trevion Henderson.
Speaker 2: It's going to be st Stephan Diggs. I think he's won,
min'ty okay? Okay, yeah, that's under Will there be a
successful two point conversion in the game?
Speaker 5: No, no, so no octopus either, it's no octopus.
Speaker 2: Uh huh, there's only been one. Do you all remember
Jalen Jalen Hurts is the only person in Super Bowl history?
Do you have an octopus? And we learned what an
octopus was yesterday. We are all football fans and we
feel like we know ball, but until yesterday, we had
no clue what a football octopus was. And that of
course is scoring a touchdown, and the same person has
scored the touchdown converting the two point conversion as well.
All Right, we're gonna take a little break there. We'll
come back to it. We'll come back with a couple
more of these questions next segment at the other side
of the commercial. But there was also an article that
you threw at me earlier about they believe Brown little
news on him. So we'll get to that when we

or Juvenibe Medical dot com. All right thing, Mark Brown,
he got us some uh some nice little atta boys.
Recently you got a heck of an out of boy.
Speaker 4: MATDIESPN dot com over the weekend put out the UH
top most ready to play freshman for the upcoming season.
Lamar Brown number one.
Speaker 2: There we go, good Grass, and they were talking.
Speaker 4: About, you know, his ability to play both sides of
the football. They said he reminds us of Rashan Gary
Fopstor in twenty sixteen, who actually had a really good
college career at Michigan. And then they said, you know,
Brown prefers defense and as sec physical level tools. But
here's the most important part, because I'm just going to
continue to scream this from the rooftops, he might be
even better as an offensive lineman. And they said he
has the ability to be a future first round NFL
draft pick as an offensive guard as well as his
ability on the defensive line. I have seen Lamar Brown
play a lot of football games. One guy's opinion, I
think he's better at offensive line and I think he
needs more help there, But if he prefers the defense,
he's good there as well. I mean, he was basically
a five star recruit on both sides of the ball. Like,
think about how rare that is. So he's a guy
that he's going to succeed wherever he plays. O line,
D line, interior edge doesn't really matter. He could just
play ball.
Speaker 2: Flat up play beton rouge Bet and rouge Bet and
rouge I love it, and you know it's it's funny
because of course the high school recruiting kind of doesn't.
It gets its little moment to shine in early December,
but we kind of forget about it because of the
impact that the transfer portal has. Now that's more of
the you know, the fan emphasis that we have. It's
because we always believe that in the portal can make
more of an immediate impact to your football team. So
this list is a really cool because ESPN believes that, well,
a high school kid can make an immediate impact on
a football team as well, straight straight from high school,
coming straight off the high school prom and stepping in
and what we believe is going to be a powerhouse
of a football team based on the coaches, the the resources,
the players that have come in with the transfer. So yeah,
good for them, and I believe that we when's the
second signing day? Have we as anybody?
Speaker 4: It's coming up?
Speaker 2: Is that? So? What do we anything we're looking forward
to there?
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just kind of filler pieces at this point, right,
I mean, you signed forty three transfer players.
Speaker 2: And counting and counting. All right, Our number three's coming up.
We're gonna wrap up hour two. We got Nick Underhill
joining the show. We got some fun facts from Super Bowl,
and you know, just a lot more. We'll see where
the next hour takes us. Right here, off the.
