But tonight we finally got you know, we got got

18
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,320

Uh we I can't wait. You know we're gonna have

00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:05,959
lights inside on the tree, hanging ornaments and maybe a

22
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:12,200
little eggnog maybe. Uh No, I don't know. Man, My

23
00:01:12,519 --> 00:01:14,760
like favorite memories growing up, and I tried to tap

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,640
into this for my kids to give him this because

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,640
my favorite memories growing up were decorated the tree with

26
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,640
the entire family, Like, was that a big thing in

27
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:23,239
y'all's house. There's always a massive figure.

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,719
Speaker 1: We would go chop down a tree.

29
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,879
Speaker 7: We would go to a farm, like all the cousins,

30
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,719
my grandparents would take us and we would go to

31
00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:37,120
a Christmas tree farm out in Elgin, Texas.

32
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:39,439
Speaker 4: Were you here when Matt was here talking about doing that?

33
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,000
They up with spiders all in the house.

34
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:43,439
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. No, but now you just unlocked a

35
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:43,879
new fear.

36
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 4: He did it in Oregon or in Washington? Right, Jake,

37
00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:51,920
where was it Washington? Were you here? Yeah? Yeah, and

38
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,680
he said he so he chops it down. He didn't

39
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,359
hose it down or anything that he chops it down.

40
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,120
He put in the house. And the next morning they

41
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,599
woke up and they had spiders everywhere.

42
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:03,599
Speaker 3: Oh my god. That's not a good Christmas surprise there

43
00:02:04,519 --> 00:02:05,319
chopping down the tree.

44
00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 7: I would that was like my favorite thing ever, Like

45
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,919
we would all get together.

46
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you can do it.

47
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:14,439
Speaker 4: I don't really want to do it. I love then,

48
00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:19,840
I said, I no, I love, I love you know.

49
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,080
No free shoutouts, but here's a little one. I love.

50
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:25,120
Louisiana Nursery ever served to start to get my tree

51
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:27,159
from there, and they gave me hot tips.

52
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: They've got a lot of my doll hairs over the

53
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:30,319
years for different things.

54
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 4: Well, oh yeah, if you're a big I mean, if

55
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,800
you're yeah, I'm not generally a big gardener. Nursing, No, yeah, absolutely. Uh.

56
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,159
Me and my wife have black thumbs. No, I mean,

57
00:02:41,479 --> 00:02:45,199
like whatever the opposite of a green thumb is. I

58
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:45,560
don't know, but.

59
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:50,719
Speaker 3: It's a lie. Uh no, no, it never is got

60
00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:52,199
weeds all in. It never is.

61
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: An indoor plant.

62
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,599
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I know you do, don't you wife? But yeah,

63
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:01,439
I can't wait, man, I'm I'm gonna be fully giving myself.

64
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:04,560
I cannot wait to decorate that tree tonight with the kids.

65
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,039
Get the lights. When y'all put lights on your Christmas tree,

66
00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:09,840
how do you do it? What's your technique? Start at

67
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,680
the bottom, wrap it around and you're until you rap

68
00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:13,719
around the outside.

69
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,039
Speaker 1: What do you do?

70
00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:18,439
Speaker 5: He only asked this because he's got.

71
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, My wife told me this is not my technique.

72
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,759
But you want to go you want to give depth,

73
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:30,520
So you want to go in and out as you're

74
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,759
circling around, right, So you go deep into the tree.

75
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,800
And then you come back out, and then you're circling

76
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,520
as you're doing it, and it creates a much more

77
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:42,000
three dimensional look than just kind of a like a

78
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,680
bare shell. I will, yeah, well, I think it comes

79
00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:48,360
out great. Every year.

80
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:50,319
Speaker 3: He's already got our tree, but we have I want

81
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:54,240
to see the lights, you know, minimum amount of ornaments

82
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,919
because Harlow, Harlow, trust me eighteen. It makes me so like,

83
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,680
the lower part of the tree probably not gonna be

84
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:02,159
as decorated as the middle portion.

85
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 5: In the top portion.

86
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 4: It makes me so mad. I have an entire platform

87
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,439
that I built for the tree to stand on that

88
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:12,759
is painted white with a felt white top with holes

89
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,120
drilled in it to hide all the wiring. But I

90
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,680
have a whole trained snow village everything set up underneath

91
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,439
the tree, and I just I can't probably do it

92
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,839
for like two or three more years because Bobby would

93
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,759
just he would just take it and break every single thing.

94
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,959
He'd get his fat little hands on. Chubby. Uh, I

95
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,079
don't know, he's not.

96
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:37,439
Speaker 3: He's on my crap list because he's just obsessed with

97
00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:39,600
his mom right now and he like doesn't give a

98
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,120
damn about me.

99
00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 4: So you know what, I don't care about you, kid.

100
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:43,240
We're not in a good spot right and I'm not

101
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:43,759
happy with him.

102
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,079
Speaker 5: I could tell, but dude, and he.

103
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:48,199
Speaker 4: Stopped me from the snow village's my favorite part of

104
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:48,959
every Christmas.

105
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:49,959
Speaker 5: We have one of those.

106
00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:53,519
Speaker 3: Yeahse we got graceland.

107
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 5: We've got good luck.

108
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 4: Good luck. It's on the ground. There's no chance, absolutely

109
00:04:59,319 --> 00:04:59,839
zero change.

110
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: But one thing I do know, shout out to got

111
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,079
lit for both of us. We've got Christmas lights. We've

112
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:07,079
had them for a couple of weeks. I think you

113
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,560
have as well. Yeah, brightens the spirits. When you drive

114
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:12,879
up to a home it's got Christmas lights on. Just

115
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,920
something I agree, little juice? Is you a little juice?

116
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,000
And it's even better when you don't have to do it.

117
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,000
It's an elite feeling.

118
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 4: Lights coming in from the outside making you feel good,

119
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:25,920
like kind of that that that soft glow you wake

120
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,800
up in them early morning you go in to work. Yeah,

121
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:31,240
just it just it's it's the absolute pest. So I

122
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,600
can't wait. What movie? So I want to do music?

123
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,360
My wife kind of likes to have a movie on

124
00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:40,120
in the background. What what movie would y'all put on?

125
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,959
If you were having to decorate the tree. So this

126
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,199
is weird. Victoria did this the other day. She was

127
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,279
like putting on Harry Potter. I was like, why, Yeah,

128
00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:52,120
she goes every year.

129
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:53,879
Speaker 6: Me and my sister used to put on Harry Potter

130
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,639
while we Yeah, we decorate the tree.

131
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,879
Speaker 4: So that's what she does. I mean, don't act crazy,

132
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:00,639
you know what, Harry Potter. I don't take fall time

133
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,639
holiday time movie. Harry Potter is a great movie. I

134
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:04,639
don't consider it a Christmas movie. I just I just

135
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,079
don't think that.

136
00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 5: Probably don't think Diehard I.

137
00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 4: Would say this. I would. I'm fine with giving it

138
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,319
the rank of Christmas movie. It's got some elite Christmas

139
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:15,160
scenes and vibes. No Diehard, Absolutely, it's like that is

140
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:19,879
literally based around Christmas, Christmas, but Harry Potter's less so.

141
00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:22,120
But if you want to call it fine, I think

142
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,199
of it more of just a fall movie. No too,

143
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,920
because like, don't think Thanksgiving and Christmas in the movie.

144
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,079
Magical little halloweeny, but yeah, plays with christ music movie,

145
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:40,720
especially the first one obviously Sorcerer's stuff, right, Yeah.

146
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 7: So I'm always I'm either going Frosty the Snowman, the

147
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,120
animated one, love it, and then there's like a a

148
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:49,199
Disney one with like Donald Duck.

149
00:06:51,079 --> 00:06:53,079
Speaker 1: And like all the little Duck and they they're with

150
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:53,680
their uncle.

151
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,879
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, the one they wish for every day to

152
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,680
be Christmas, and then every day is Christmas. And then

153
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:01,839
they learned that, oh wait, if every day is Christmas

154
00:07:01,879 --> 00:07:05,199
and no days Christmas? Yables or too much of a

155
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,279
good thing home alone?

156
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Those are my freaks.

157
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: Okay, So Frosty snow Man, what the uh animated one? Yeah? Okay?

158
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,879
And then oh that's it? What an interesting tree.

159
00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: I love that movie.

160
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 4: I want to try to make my kids watch It's

161
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,879
a Wonderful Life, but I don't think they'll be into

162
00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:26,199
it yet. I I can't wait to watch it myself though.

163
00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:30,639
Spend a whole night drinking whiskey watching It's a Wonderful Life, crying,

164
00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:33,720
being amazed by how well the film holds up traveling

165
00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:36,759
back in time to the thirties, forties and fifties.

166
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 7: Another Christmas movie like Diehard that's like can or can't

167
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:42,959
be one?

168
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: Edward Scissor Hands.

169
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: A great movie. I've not seen Edward scissels a little

170
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:51,199
kid and freaked me out, so I don't know. I

171
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,240
can't comment either way.

172
00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:54,279
Speaker 5: A deep cut Christmas movie.

173
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:57,879
Speaker 6: Jingle All the Way, that is my my favorite Christmas

174
00:07:57,959 --> 00:07:58,399
movie ever.

175
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, my kids love it.

like it now.

178
00:08:02,759 --> 00:08:05,079
Speaker 5: Four Christmases is another deep cut.

179
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:14,079
Speaker 3: That's very funny, great great movie. Again, the best Vacation

180
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:21,040
is like also, like that's okay, the really good good.

181
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, not for the kids, but for the adult not

182
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,199
only lunch break Bad Stand is amazing, I think again.

183
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:30,399
I know I've said a million times, but the best

184
00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:35,000
part of Jingle the Way remains. Uh. Phil Hartman is Ted.

185
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,440
Great Christmas Villains. Put him up there with the Hans Krumer,

186

put him up there with Who would then, who would

187
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:48,960
be the villain of uh Christmas Vacation? There's not there's

188
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,440
not really, I mean the balls of the neighbors, the

189
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,440
boss of the neighbors. Probably the boss more.

190
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 6: Probably the balls because like that's what the movie centers

191
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,480
around him, putting in the pool for the Christmas bonus

192
00:08:59,519 --> 00:08:59,879
and all that.

193
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 4: So yeah, probably him.

194
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 5: Todd's pretty diabolical.

Speaker 4: The neighbor Todd marg Ted is Ted is my favorite

213
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:16,840
vibes to that entire movie. God Jack Black my favorite king.

00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 5: Do we need a nuts movie tier list?

215
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:24,000

00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:28,639
tea Bob here.

218
00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 4: No Family Stone another one must watch, not necessarily with

219
00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:33,279
the kids.

220
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 7: Uh.

221
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:42,759
Speaker 4: Family Stone is a ridiculous movie, but also a deeply emotional,

222
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:44,799
very good one in a lot of ways. What about

223
00:10:44,919 --> 00:10:49,240
uh my favorite. One of my favorite parts in Family

224
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:52,360
Stone is that they honor the tradition of the cousin

225
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,000
walk when the dad and the sun go out, just

226
00:10:56,039 --> 00:10:58,279
to you know, just go go go do the cousin

227
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,840
walk real quick. Cousin walked down, got me for family

228
00:11:00,919 --> 00:11:05,159
pictures during Thanksgiving. Everybody's looking so bright and chipper and

229
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,200
my eyes were barely open. I didn't even realize until

230
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,080
I looked back at the pictures. What are you gonna do? Mmmmm? Uh,

similar to either. Yeah, yeah, I think they're Yeah, I

254
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,879
think I think they're all different, critical differences between each.

255
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,200
To be fair, maybe in somebody's Betterige is kind of

256
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,399
like a blending of the two.

257
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, and people hate when I say this has

258
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,879
a little shreef board in it too. Yeah, it's got

259
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,120

285
00:14:32,159 --> 00:14:34,519
Speaker 7: No. I actually don't think I've ever walked in somewhere

286
00:14:34,519 --> 00:14:35,720
and there'd be a missletoe there.

287
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 3: Maybe, like gosh, like in middle school one of my

288
00:14:40,159 --> 00:14:41,639
good friends, he used to try to pull that all

289
00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:46,240
the time, but like not since nineteen ninety eight.

290
00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:48,279
Speaker 4: Taylor, would you let me kiss you if we were

291
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,840
standing on the mistletoe together? Probably not? No Christmas.

292
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,519
Speaker 1: That's bad luck. What if he doesn't let you kiss him?

293
00:14:56,559 --> 00:14:58,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, So what I'm saying, that's crazy, it's fun. It's bad.

294
00:14:59,000 --> 00:14:59,440
It's fun.

295
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 6: It's bad luck for you too, Like it's a bad

296
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,639
luck for both of us. But as long as you

297
00:15:03,679 --> 00:15:04,559
have bad luck, I'm good.

298
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: I think I'm soaking up all the bad luck in

299
00:15:07,159 --> 00:15:08,799
this room for y'all, So you're welcome.

300
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,679
Speaker 4: Is it mistletoe that Loki used to kill Balder with

301
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:16,840
back in the day? Ye?

302
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: Boy?

303
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 4: Now it has to be.

304
00:15:19,679 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 3: A hashtag OTB mail bag. When is a Bene gonna

305
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,519
be back with the radio New Orleans?

306
00:15:25,559 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, that's all above our pay

307
00:15:27,679 --> 00:15:34,320
great guess hashtag OTB mail bag. How revealing was it

308
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,240
for Brian Kelly to phrase the nil situation is like

309
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,360
having a cap So he wasn't saying that about Nil.

310
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,080
He was saying that about what's coming. July first of

311
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,320
next year, the Anti Trust Settlement kicks in, in which

312
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,799
every school will give up to you know, roughly twenty

313
00:15:53,799 --> 00:15:56,279
percent of their athletic revenue, so it'll be around twenty

314
00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:59,440
one something like that, twenty one million for every school.

315
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,879
But basically, like every school that wants to be competitive

316
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,279
is going to have to give them full them out,

317
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,200
So it works like a pseudo cap though advertising would

318
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,519
still be allowed, certainly, even though in theory collectives are

319
00:16:12,919 --> 00:16:15,879
supposed to go away. So he wasn't saying it was

320
00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:18,200
like a cap for LSU. There is kind of a

321
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:24,200
pseudo cap coming in. Has Se goes to the mailbag.

322
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,639
How do we feel about missing out on the spring

323
00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:29,600
portal defensive tackles with the benefit of hindsight, It's a

324
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:35,799
very interesting question, to be honest. I think you were

325
00:16:35,919 --> 00:16:37,600
kind of justified in not paying those guys.

326
00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:43,039
Speaker 3: It's a position group that actually played above what any

327
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,519
of us thought and played well down the stretch. Yeah,

328
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:50,840
played hard too. Yeah, and that's you you, I mean

329
00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:55,559
Jacob and Gillory. You lose that player and still crazy, right,

330
00:16:55,879 --> 00:16:57,480
I mean Gefhia shout out to him.

331
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 4: Jv R. Suggs was great.

332
00:16:59,559 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 5: He was good now Yeah.

333
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,039
Speaker 4: And then like for the guys you did pick up, Yeah,

334
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,599
Suggs was a nice uh, you know, a guy that

335
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,960
was kind of unheralded, not getting a lot of love,

336
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,440
and he was, like we said, pound for he was

337
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:14,920
so productive this year whenever he got opportunity.

338
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:17,839
Speaker 6: Well, one of the guys you didn't pay was Dominic Williams,

339
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,240
who you just played against at Oklahoma thirty three tackles,

340
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:23,960
one sack, five tackles for a low.

341
00:17:24,039 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 4: Oh it was fine, but they paid him like a

342
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:29,240
million dollars. So what I'm saying like, was he significantly

343
00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:32,400
better than Sugs and Pias Well, and look also, now

344
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:40,480
further understanding LSU's own payments, they were given players. No,

345
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:45,200
you cannot have a mercenary d tackle come in out

346
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,000
of nowhere and make more than your best players, especially

347
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,440
when they're not going to be your best player. So

348
00:17:49,519 --> 00:17:51,759
I agreed with it at the time from that standpoint,

349
00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:54,039
but actually, yeah, Bo Davison Company did a good job

350
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,480
of maximizing that group. Whe Yeah, I think you were

351
00:17:56,559 --> 00:18:00,920
justified in that has said would be mail back favorite

352
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,000
Christa movie. It's Wonderful Life with a bullet not even close.

353
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 3: The one I'm gonna watch on loop over and over again.

354
00:18:08,759 --> 00:18:09,720
It's Christmas Vacation.

355
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 4: Either either Christmas Vacation or Jingle all the Way. For me,

356
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,720
I mean, I love jing all the Way. That's interesting

357
00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:16,240
to give it top.

358
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: There's so many good ones.

359
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 3: I know.

360
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: I don't know Home alone. I just love every time

361
00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:27,079
I watch it.

362
00:18:29,279 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 4: Uh, Color Express, can I find my Polar Express rant?

363
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,680
Joey mull and Narrows text me and I was like, yeah,

364
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,119
I think so.

365
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:43,319
Speaker 1: And I actually agree with your take.

366
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 3: On it.

367
00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 4: Express is not a good movie. I could not hate

368
00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:50,799
the aesthetics of the North Pole, like you paid me to.

369
00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of scary and a little depressing in some ways.

370
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,319
Speaker 4: Then like, uh no, Jack, well it's like means depressing. Yes,

371
00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:05,680
they were like, oh man, remember like child labor and

372
00:19:05,759 --> 00:19:10,440
the industrial Revolution. I like giant brick warehouses and hazy

373
00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:14,200
skies filled with acrid, poisonous smoke. What if that's what

374
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:16,880
we made the North Pole? Every other North Pole rendition

375
00:19:17,079 --> 00:19:21,079
is whimsical and beautiful and bells and golds and peppermints.

376
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,559
And they were like, no, dark, Nah, we talk it.

377
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,839
We go in eighteen ninety England when you had thirteen

378
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,599
year olds in the textile shop dying getting fingers chopped

379
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:38,480
off on the wave? Has that go to be mailbag?

380
00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:39,759
What do you think the old line will look like

381
00:19:39,839 --> 00:19:43,759
next year? So smoking the streets, Emmy Jones got to

382
00:19:43,799 --> 00:19:46,720
return potentially, So I think is he gonna play guard?

383
00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 8: Though?

384
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 3: One of the things that you know is out there

385
00:19:50,839 --> 00:19:55,839
is that he potentially could kick down the guard his

386
00:19:56,519 --> 00:19:59,000
I mean more natural position. He came to LSU to

387
00:19:59,079 --> 00:20:01,440
play guard, Yeah, and he's just played tack, you know,

388
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,359
it's all gonna pen tea on how they feel about

389
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:03,880
their tackles.

390
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,039
Speaker 5: What can you get in the portal? Can you go

391
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,160
get a couple of tackles?

392
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,319
Speaker 3: Do you feel good about somebody on the roster right

393
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,319
now that we're not talking about If you can go,

394
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:17,839
you know, grab two offensive linemen regardless of position, two

395
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,680
starting quality power for offensive lineman, and you pair them

396
00:20:21,799 --> 00:20:24,640
with some of the players that you're going to have returning,

397
00:20:24,759 --> 00:20:26,599
it could be a good offensive line.

398
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 4: I mean, for me, uh, let's say dj Chester's tofitely

399
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,200
back at center. I believe now with how Paul Mabinga finished,

400
00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:39,880
I'm actually pretty excited about him again. He his body

401
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,759
needs some maturation, but it'll get that naturally, I think. Uh,

402
00:20:43,799 --> 00:20:46,519
I think Mabinga's one of your starting guards. We say

403
00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:50,440
Emery Jones could be the other. Weston Davis and Tyree

404
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,279
Adams would be the next name that you would kind

405
00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:53,519
of names that you would kind of thinking about. But

406
00:20:53,599 --> 00:20:55,359
like Jake said, and then you change all of that

407
00:20:55,599 --> 00:20:58,640
with getting some really good ol linment out of the portal,

408
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,880
maybe two, like you said to like, those are the

409
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,759
kind of maybe five names that seem first in line

410
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,000
and then who knows you bring in But also like

411
00:21:06,079 --> 00:21:08,160
there could be guys that rise the fault. Like to

412
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,319
be fair, there are an open position, so.

413
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 6: Do tell you they liked Cohen Ekels in the fall.

414
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,640
Its like that backup center. So like if he progresses,

415
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,559
you could kick Chester to guard if he needed to,

416
00:21:18,759 --> 00:21:20,079
Like they could shake things up as well.

417
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:28,319
Speaker 4: True, I has to go to you. That hunt says

418
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,079
he won't try to sell us in a garbage bowl game?

419
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,079
Do you have the same strong ethical position? Uh, I.

420
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 5: Sell you as far as what?

421
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

422
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:39,559
Speaker 4: I think, I think.

423
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, if if you don't like watching

424
00:21:43,839 --> 00:21:46,359
LSU play football, then you I mean, yeah, you don't

425
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:47,200
have to watch the ball game.

426
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 4: I love it though, and I'm gonna be hype and

427
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,680
you better win because nine and four is way better

428
00:21:52,759 --> 00:21:56,200
than eight and five. You know, you need to You

429
00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:57,880
need to keep them in, them going and try to

430
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,680
erase as much of the bad taste of the bad

431
00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:03,920
mud as you can. Has to go to mailbag. Is

432
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,680
Marty Girl massively overrated as a holiday? Not at all? Yes?

433
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,720
Terrible answer, Yes, Yes, I don't get it. What do

434
00:22:11,799 --> 00:22:13,759
you mean? Oh, I don't I don't get Marty girl.

435
00:22:13,759 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 5: I don't get you.

436
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 4: I don't think you like to drink enough. Then maybe

437
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:17,400
what do you mean you.

438
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 5: Don't get it?

439
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,319
Speaker 6: Also like it's it's it's more of a Catholic holiday, right,

440
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,160
I'm not catholic, so I don't I don't.

441
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 4: Really get it.

442
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,319
Speaker 6: Like let me let me, let me preface about saying

443
00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:29,640
I'm not I'm not a parade. Yeah, never really been

444
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:34,319
a parade. Yes, I don't get it. I mean so

445
00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:37,039
standing in one spot catching beads, she's just not my thing.

446
00:22:37,319 --> 00:22:40,599
Speaker 1: I don't think it's overrated, but it's not for me.

447
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,440
I don't like crowds.

448
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,039
Speaker 4: Oh, if you don't like crowds.

449
00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, the parking situation is always a thing. There's too

450
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,839
many things that give me anxiety about it. But I

451
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,319
think it's a great holiday for the people that enjoy it.

452
00:22:54,759 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 4: I I love.

453
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: I love it.

454
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 4: Pre kids z go, I love it and meander and

455
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,440
all high crazy all day. And then that's saying then

456
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,200
I love the post kids because they love parades, they

457
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,680
love catch yourself. I feel you like I don't really

458
00:23:15,799 --> 00:23:17,559
give to I don't give it in about like catching

459
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:23,839
stuff as like before kids, But there there's an undeniable,

460
00:23:25,319 --> 00:23:28,119
great fun energy to just roaming throughout the city with

461
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,000
everybody acting a fool all day long and wearing crazy

462
00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:33,079
outfits and everything like that.

463
00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 7: I will say, if somebody wanted to get me like

464
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,599
on an actual float, like.

465
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 4: Do that.

466
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,799
Speaker 3: So, yeah, riding on floats different, that's amazing. You need

467
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,720
to ride on a float with a quarterback and tea.

468
00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:49,000
Bob's gonna know what I'm talking about here. So Flynn

469
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,319
and I we were Grand marshals about Ryan a couple

470
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,799
of years ago, and quarterbacks can't help themselves when they're

471
00:23:54,839 --> 00:23:58,440
on a float. They try to throw the beads as

472
00:23:58,559 --> 00:24:01,440
hard as they possibly can because they don't want anybody

473
00:24:01,519 --> 00:24:03,440
to think they can't, you know, fit it.

474
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 4: In that way, like, oh, I thought they could throw

475
00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:05,559
it bet Yeah.

476
00:24:05,559 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 5: And he's got a little sauce in him.

477
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,839
Speaker 3: The Cajun cannon I've heard also, you know, been a

478
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,759
part of this as well. If you can ever do

479
00:24:11,839 --> 00:24:13,839
it with a quarterback, it is a lot of fun.

480
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,400
Because I mean Flynn was trying to thread the needle

481
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,319
over there as we're turning by pastime, you know, smoking

482
00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:22,039
people in the head.

483
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,519
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, because he thought he could fit it in the window.

484
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 4: It's a uh, it's it's very fun time. I should

485
00:24:27,519 --> 00:24:31,119
also say a great Marty girl UH is always tied

486
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,680
into a great spot. If you have easy access to

487
00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:36,359
a bathroom, maybe you found your way to a balcony

488
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,160
where you're not as over crowded out street level. Yeah.

489
00:24:39,319 --> 00:24:41,200
That that that that is critical as well as trying

490
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,079
had an area on your connections that.

491
00:24:43,079 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: You can I would be okay with Mark h All right.

492
00:24:46,079 --> 00:24:48,599
Speaker 4: There it is, oh TB back when we get back,

493
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,359

00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,279
you live in living center, Since you make the switch today,

498
00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:11,960
it only takes a couple of minutes. You get better price,

499
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,960
you get more reliable service. You get people who give

500
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,599
a damn. You get people who text you and remind

501
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,480
you the night before it's your day for pickups. You

502
00:25:18,599 --> 00:25:20,799
never get to put out the cans again, and they'll

503
00:25:20,839 --> 00:25:22,599
never pull what got pulled on me, which is just

504
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,519
where like they just didn't pick it up. I guess

505
00:25:25,559 --> 00:25:27,519
I didn't put it in the exact right spot. Not

506
00:25:27,599 --> 00:25:29,920
in the case with the people who give a damn

507
00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:32,359
trash rangers. But if you're a business owner and you

508
00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:35,599
are anywhere in the listening area, uh, you have a choice.

509
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,000
And if you need frontload dumpsters any emptied any from

510
00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:40,599

513
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,599
Speaker 3: I mean the customer service like on Thanksgiving, like they

514
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,319
picked up on the weekend to make sure you didn't

515
00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:50,400
miss a full week of your trash service. Just what

516
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,440
you're gonna get kind of customer service you're gonna get

517
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:53,559
trash rangers dot com.

518
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:09,079
Speaker 4: The misim is it tells me it's time.

519
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,079
Speaker 2: Welcome back to more sports talk. What's some other stuff

520
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,799
mixed in off the Bench with Hester and t Bob.

521
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,079
Speaker 4: Welcome back to off Mentions Tuesday Night thirty, which means

522
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,559
one thing. We are so lucky to be joined by

523
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,799
the legend herself, Coach Kim Mulky, head coach of your

524
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,319
LSU women's basketball team, a team that continues to dominate

525
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,640
this ports of the season, and a coach who just

526
00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:38,200
got hurt.

527
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 3: One hundredth win already in an LSU uniform, coach, what's

528
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,640
going on? Thank you so much, congratulations on number one hundred.

529
00:26:47,799 --> 00:26:50,559
Speaker 8: Well, thank you guys. How are y'all doing this morning?

530
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,000
If I have to cough every man, and then don't

531
00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:55,359
let me interrupt you, you know, and you still getting

532
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,279
old and you have all these colds you have to

533
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:57,640
deal with.

534
00:26:58,519 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I take that kind of year. Cot. You know

535
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,440
that timing year, I should say I've been kind of

536
00:27:02,519 --> 00:27:04,880
dealing with the same thing. So no judgment here, obviously.

537
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,480
So I want to talk about something that in the

538
00:27:09,519 --> 00:27:12,240
post game of the night that Miracle talked about, And

539
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,720
of course this is fresh off nearly a one hundred

540
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:18,640
point win for the one hundredth win, which is kind

541
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,599
of insane, But she was talking about how after the game,

542
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,680
you know, come watch practice, see how hard it is,

543
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,680
and when I view this team at this portion of

544
00:27:29,759 --> 00:27:34,920
the season, and how y'all beat these teams that are lesser,

545
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,960
but there's still this like uber intense drive.

546
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,039
Speaker 3: It's almost like you're competing with yourself, and is practice

547
00:27:42,519 --> 00:27:45,880
the key to creating a culture like that?

548
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,839
Speaker 8: P Bob listened to her, and you know, She and

549
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,279
Jada Reesard were the two at press conference with me,

550
00:27:54,039 --> 00:27:56,759
and it was good because you know, I know what

551
00:27:57,039 --> 00:28:00,400
Lage is gonna say, I know what tomorrow. But when

552
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:05,279
you take new players, I'm always interested in listening to them,

553
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,799
and I thought both of them were just outstanding with

554
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:16,079
their comments and so honest. And when she said that

555
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:22,960
about practice, she's right. We're competing in practice every day

556
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,880
for playing time and this team is one. As I've

557
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,440
told them several times, y'all making my job hard. And

558
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,240
that's a good thing. And what I mean by that

559
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,519
is that you usually have your two or three you

560
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,400
know that are going to be in the lineup because

561
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,720
they've earned it, they've proven themselves. But I like eight

562
00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:47,720
or nine to be in the rotation, and I don't

563
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,960
know who they are really here we are in December,

564
00:28:50,079 --> 00:28:55,599
and I don't know because they bring different qualities. In practice,

565
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:02,480
it's competitive, and I mean that kid spoke from her heart.

566
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,759
And then you've got Jada Restard speaking and she's a

567
00:29:06,839 --> 00:29:09,759
young lady. That's the only freshman we have, but man,

568
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,440
is she competing in practice?

569
00:29:12,759 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 4: Coach.

570
00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:15,319
Speaker 3: I want to go back a couple of games ago,

571
00:29:15,519 --> 00:29:18,640
and we talked with you, you know, in the Bahamas

572
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,359
and after the Washington game in which you come back

573
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,039
and you win that one by a point, and then

574
00:29:23,119 --> 00:29:25,519
the next game and you know this coaching for as

575
00:29:25,519 --> 00:29:27,279
long as you have like, there's two ways this can

576
00:29:27,359 --> 00:29:29,440
kind of go. Like you can kind of you know,

577
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,720
know that you use so much energy in that Washington

578
00:29:31,799 --> 00:29:33,960
game and then maybe your team comes out flat or

579
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,119
they put their head down, they go right back to work.

580
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 5: And that's exactly what y'all did against NC State.

581
00:29:38,519 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 3: That's a team that played in the Final Four a

582
00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:42,400
year ago, a top twenty five team, and you beat

583
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,920
them eighty two to sixty five. For you as a coach,

584
00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:47,279
to see your team do that, to put their head down,

585
00:29:47,319 --> 00:29:49,039
to go right back to work and not kind of

586
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,240
use the game that they had to use all the

587
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,279
energy against Washington as an excuse, I know you appreciated that.

588
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,279
Speaker 8: You're absolutely right, how you respond after a tough loss

589
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,319
or even a tough win. How much do you have

590
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,480
left in your tank? Really? And the thing I will

591
00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:12,839
say about the Washington game, we didn't win that game

592
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,160
with our primary players that you think are going to

593
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,039
win it for you on the floor, you won that

594
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,119
game if you look at it and you got back

595
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,160
in that game with new players. There were summ returning

596
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,440
players obviously on the floor, but Gilbert is trying to

597
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,960
re establish herself here at LSU, and she had the

598
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,200
sense about her that my gosh, there's only six seconds left.

599
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,359
I gotta grab this butt loose ball and I gotta go.

600
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,720
And you came back to practice the next day. I

601
00:30:43,799 --> 00:30:46,319
don't go out there and just have a hard nose

602
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,920
practice because you don't have the energy to do that

603
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,559
and then turn around and play the next day. We

604
00:30:51,759 --> 00:30:56,000
are very focused right now, and we were focused in

605
00:30:56,079 --> 00:30:58,880
the Bahamas after that game. I don't think we were

606
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,759
not focused in the Washington game.

607
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 4: I think.

608
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 8: They were just that much better than us. They were

609
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,279
smoother than us running their offense, a lot of cutters,

610
00:31:09,359 --> 00:31:11,720
a lot of things like that that we've got to

611
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,720
get better at defending. But in the NC State game,

612
00:31:14,799 --> 00:31:17,319
it wasn't a raw rock game where you meet with

613
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,119
them in the locker room and you say, hey, they

614
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,240
were in the spot we should have been last year.

615
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,400
We were the ones that had to play the hottest

616
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,599
team in the country with Kaitlyn Clark. NC State got

617
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,079
the better part of the bracket. Hey, we didn't get it.

618
00:31:29,359 --> 00:31:33,720
They did. Different teams go play, and I thought that

619
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:39,039
the players really defended m C State guards who are outstanding.

620
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,559
Speaker 4: And coach. You you end up in winning that NC

621
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,079
State game, you win the tournament. Uh, is there? I mean,

622
00:31:47,119 --> 00:31:50,440
I know, it's it's it's it's it's it's very it's

623
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,519
a shortened affair, right, it's very quick. But is there

624
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,519
any Are there any lessons you think players learn and

625
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,480
being in an early tournament setting like that they can

626
00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:02,359
maybe care forward with them later into the year.

627
00:32:03,799 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 8: Well, I think people, let's talk about scheduling. People love

628
00:32:07,319 --> 00:32:10,440
to get on us about our non conference schedule, and

629
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,400
everybody has a right to opinion. But I've been doing

630
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,720
this forty years. The net rankings came out this week.

631
00:32:17,799 --> 00:32:20,960
We're eight in the country. And that's the quote unquote

632
00:32:21,039 --> 00:32:23,599
sing the committee he looks at is the net.

633
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 7: Listen.

634
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 8: I still believe in eyeballs. What do I mean by that?

635
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,960
Get off your rump watch women's basketball games on TV,

636
00:32:34,119 --> 00:32:37,119
go watch them in person, and give the best teams

637
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,559
that you see the higher seeds when this season is over.

638
00:32:41,079 --> 00:32:43,720
I don't believe in rankings. Here, you win this and

639
00:32:43,839 --> 00:32:46,920
beat this, you get beat. That's too complicated for me.

640
00:32:47,839 --> 00:32:51,079
And I know what I'm doing with my non conference schedule.

641
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,480
It's worked for forty years. I don't care how many

642
00:32:54,519 --> 00:32:57,279
analytics come up with new ideas. To me, that's a

643
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,880
shortcut in a lazy way. It's kind of like scouting.

644
00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:02,319
Get off your wront and go scout. Kids don't sit

645
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:07,160
there and listen to somebody else. So you're gonna go

646
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,519
play in tournaments in November and December. You're gonna see

647
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,880
upsets in November and December. You're gonna play in these

648
00:33:14,039 --> 00:33:18,720
fancy tournaments, and you're not gonna have competitions sometimes, but

649
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,880
sometimes you are. I honestly go to allow these young

650
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,920
people to go to places that they will never go

651
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,400
or have never been in their life. I don't really

652
00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:31,720
sit and look and see who's in the tournament.

653
00:33:33,559 --> 00:33:33,799
Speaker 5: Coach.

654
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,759
Speaker 3: I know you've got the sec ACC Challenge coming up

655
00:33:36,799 --> 00:33:39,480
with a game against Stanford inside the p MAG. But

656
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:41,720
also I want to ask you about the grambling game

657
00:33:41,759 --> 00:33:44,720
that you're playing up in Bosier City, up in North Louisiana.

658
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,079
When you do a game like that, when you decide

659
00:33:48,079 --> 00:33:49,880
to go to Bosier City or somewhere else in the

660
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:50,599
state to play.

661
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 5: Kind of what you're reasoning behind that it's for.

662
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,119
Speaker 8: The people that are on your team. We went to

663
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,960
Coffin State last year for Angel Reese to go back.

664
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,400
Trying real hard to get back to close to Savannah,

665
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:09,039
Georgia the Flag next year. This year, Mikayla, we can

666
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:11,400
still play in that centery tail I think that's what

667
00:34:11,519 --> 00:34:16,239
it's still called and play Grambling was also going to

668
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:21,840
Chicago before the Christmas Holidays formorrow. Now, yeah, we can't

669
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,920
do it all the time that you got to get

670
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,000
people to agree to play you, but I do try

671
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:30,960
to take players back to the area where they grew

672
00:34:31,039 --> 00:34:33,519
up because it's fun for them. Uh.

673
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:36,039
Speaker 4: Speaking of that Stanford game, that's the a SEC SEC

674
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,199
Challenge going on this Thursday, eight pm. Go pack it

675
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,400
out to Traditional Powers. I'm gonna be boxing squaring up.

676
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:45,880
So Coach, I know after the game the other night,

677
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,639
you said you hadn't had a chance to dive into

678
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:51,039
the film yet, but a coach Starkey would and and

679
00:34:51,119 --> 00:34:53,159
you'd have a really eloquent answered assistants that are wont

680
00:34:53,159 --> 00:34:55,360
to explore as well. But have you have you had

681
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,039
some time to uh, have you had some time to

682
00:34:58,559 --> 00:35:00,920
explore what Stanford looked. Say, I'm filmed this year.

683
00:35:01,679 --> 00:35:04,199
Speaker 8: Oh absolutely. They just happened to ask me after the

684
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,480
game the night, and I didn't want to talk much

685
00:35:06,599 --> 00:35:09,639
until I sat down and went over to scouting report.

686
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,639
But yesterday was our first time in the film room

687
00:35:14,119 --> 00:35:16,840
to talk about Stanford and it was in detail. Went

688
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,719
on the court for about an hour, and uh, we're

689
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,800
gonna We're gonna see an outstanding Stanford team that they're

690
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,320
number one in the country in the official point line.

691
00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:32,320
You got to stop dribble penetration or they're going to

692
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,559
kick out. Certainly, they've lost tar Van Derveer, their legendary coach.

693
00:35:37,159 --> 00:35:40,079
They lost Brinks of the draft last year. They lost

694
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:45,599
Arifins who's now at usc UH. But they're still Stamford

695
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,000
and they still have great players and they're going to run.

696
00:35:49,559 --> 00:35:51,760
I used to call it the old triangle offense that

697
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,199
the Bulls ran with Jordan, where you're gonna have three

698
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,119
on one side, you're gonna have cutters, you're gonna have

699
00:35:57,199 --> 00:36:00,199
to defend for thirty seconds on that shot clock. You're

700
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,280
going to get back door. They're just well coached, the

701
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,000
typical Stamford team with a few missing parts.

702
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 4: Coach speaking of Coach Starkey, you had and I hate

703
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,400
to ask you the same question, but I thought the

704
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,280
answer was so good that I want our audience to

705
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,320
hear some version of it. You were kind of asked

706
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,519
about the value of assistance and your kind of how

707
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:26,960
you operate, what you look for, how you treat them,

708
00:36:28,679 --> 00:36:30,559
And I just was wondering if you could expounded on

709
00:36:30,639 --> 00:36:32,400
the bit when it comes to making a staff and

710
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,719
the role of your assistants play. What are kind of

711
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,920
your theories as a leader on on on how to

712
00:36:39,079 --> 00:36:40,159
put together a staff.

713
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,039
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, they are the most important part

714
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,719
of a head coach's journey, and I've been blessed to

715
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,360
not have much turnover on staff. Well, how does that happen?

716
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,000
Several ways it happens. Number One, you financially take care

717
00:36:56,079 --> 00:36:58,440
of them. When you go in and talk about your contract,

718
00:36:58,519 --> 00:37:00,440
they should be the first people you talk talk about.

719
00:37:00,519 --> 00:37:03,719
Give them the raise, give them the things that they

720
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,039
need to make them want to stay there. The second

721
00:37:07,079 --> 00:37:11,039
way you keep a staff is you can't have five, six,

722
00:37:11,199 --> 00:37:14,480
seven assistant coaches that every day are looking to become

723
00:37:14,519 --> 00:37:16,119
a head coach and are on the phone for the

724
00:37:16,199 --> 00:37:19,320
next head coach. In opening, you have to have some

725
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,440
of those that say, I'm only an assistant, I don't

726
00:37:22,519 --> 00:37:25,440
want the responsibility to be a head coach, so you

727
00:37:25,679 --> 00:37:27,599
know that they're going to be with you a long time.

728
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,480
Then you have the other part of that staff that

729
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,719
does want to be a head coach, and you teach

730
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,719
them and you give them responsibilities. When I first started

731
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,400
in this business, it was very, very difficult for me

732
00:37:39,519 --> 00:37:42,159
to delegate. I wanted to do it all because I

733
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,119
know my way is going to be better than any

734
00:37:45,159 --> 00:37:47,920
way that they do it. But I think part of

735
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,960
that is you're also teaching them how to do it.

736
00:37:51,559 --> 00:37:53,880
And then after about five, six, seven years as a

737
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,119
head coach, they stay with you. Then you start delegating

738
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,440
and you feel comfortable that they're doing things the way

739
00:38:01,519 --> 00:38:06,719
you want done. As you age in this business, you

740
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,400
can't do what you used to could do. What am

741
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,639
I talking about? I can't go out there and take charges.

742
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,800
I can't go out there. You know I can't do

743
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,000
that anymore. I think I can, but I'm also smart

744
00:38:18,079 --> 00:38:21,679
enough to know that's not physically possible. So you bring

745
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,639
in the use, you bring in the energy, and you

746
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,719
have the legendary Bob Starkeys and the Johnny Derrecks who

747
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,480
just retired. But you go, get you some new people

748
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,239
and you say, this is what I need you to

749
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,159
do in one on ones with them as I'm sitting

750
00:38:37,199 --> 00:38:42,239
there watching hit Her Bumper, Let's go. And So it's

751
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,400
a mixture of a lot of things. But one thing

752
00:38:45,519 --> 00:38:49,119
that's always going to be a part of my staff

753
00:38:49,199 --> 00:38:52,719
is loyalty. You don't read or hear about my staff

754
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,320
out on the street discussing private business. You don't see

755
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:00,719
them getting in trouble. I want good people, and I've

756
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,800
been very, very fortunate that I don't think I've had

757
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,280
to do with a couple of firings in my career.

758
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,320
No one wants to fire assistant coaches. Football is a

759
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,760
little bit different guys. You know sometimes they make head

760
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,440
coaches fire assistants to save their own job.

761
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

762
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 8: I don't believe in that head. I'm the head, Han Sho.

763
00:39:22,159 --> 00:39:25,920
Anything that happens in this program that's related to x's

764
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,440
and o's, it falls on my shoulders.

765
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,639
Speaker 4: There you go. I mean, look, coach, we could talk

766
00:39:32,639 --> 00:39:36,400

Speaker 1: Told myself that your.

811
00:41:46,119 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 5: Whatever good song?

812
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,519
Speaker 1: What the more you ask, the more I don't want

813
00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:52,880
to do it.

814
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 4: I don't know that is a thing for her, That

815
00:41:55,119 --> 00:41:56,840
is a thing for her. I understand that I'm the

816
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,639
same way. Like it's like you know if if if

817
00:41:59,639 --> 00:42:01,760
I'm trying annoy you know you're trying to annoy someone,

818
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,840
you can tell you you're going to do this, You're

819
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:04,880
going to double down on it.

820
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,519
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to annoy you, but you keep asking.

821
00:42:07,679 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 4: I mean, that's just human psychology, right, playing hard to get.

822
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,800
It's the same thing conceptually. You what what you're doing

823
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,920
is having the opposite of the intended effect, because nobody

824
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,800
wants to feel like they're getting told what to do.

825
00:42:20,079 --> 00:42:22,320
I had something for you, yeah, I know, something like,

826
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:23,480

00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,440
baham bug all you. I don't care.

839
00:42:51,199 --> 00:42:54,079
Speaker 7: I've already said I like Christmas. I actually love Christmas.

840
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,559
But I'm not doing this, so quit asking.

841
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:04,199
Speaker 4: I So you just heard coach Kim Molky talk about

842
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,320
how you keep a staff together, how you treat those

843
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:13,239
who work for you. Well, this is a pretty awesome

844
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:19,199
Thanksgiving story that we learned about Kenny Dillingham. So because

845
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,880
Arizona State won nine games on Saturday. Last Saturday, Kenny

846
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:28,719
Dillingham got a two hundred thousand dollars bonus. On Monday,

847
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,239
Kenny Dillingham tells the twenty off the field ASU staffers

848
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,079
that they'll all get a five to ten thousand dollars bonus.

849
00:43:38,159 --> 00:43:41,039
What Kenny didn Dillingham did not tell them and did

850
00:43:41,079 --> 00:43:43,480
not tell this reporter. He figured this out through the

851
00:43:43,599 --> 00:43:48,599
staff Danlleham did not promote this anywhere. That bonus so

852
00:43:48,679 --> 00:43:53,159
they got, of course, was Kenny's bonus. It's literally exactly

853
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,320
what coach Moulky was just talking about. You take care

854
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,480
when you have a good team, you like you take

855
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:04,400
care of your people. And this is something that you

856
00:44:04,599 --> 00:44:07,079
never really see coaches do. Like it's easy to sit

857
00:44:07,159 --> 00:44:10,000
here and say, well, yeah, I mean he makes a

858
00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:12,719
ton of money. These guys do not. Of course he

859
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,360
did that, but a ton of coaches take it, make

860
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,760
a ton of money, and a ton of coaches get

861
00:44:16,159 --> 00:44:18,639
massive bonuses. But what do they do? They just hoard

862
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:24,639
it like smell the dragon. Kenny decided that he would

863
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,719
do the inverse of Christmas vacation and go ahead and

864
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,320
give those Christmas bonuses. I mean, I think that's awesome

865
00:44:30,679 --> 00:44:32,559
and it makes me cheer for dealing him in Arizona

866
00:44:32,599 --> 00:44:33,360
State even harder. Here.

867
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love Kenny Dillingham. He's from Tempe, he went

868
00:44:38,679 --> 00:44:41,400
to Arizona State. Now he's coaching at the place that

869
00:44:41,559 --> 00:44:45,199
he's always known and he's doing it incredibly well. Good

870
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,440
on him, Good on him. I mean his energy is infectious.

871
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,440
I mean, just the moment you talk to him, you're

872
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,119
gonna want to go run down on kick off for

873
00:44:52,199 --> 00:44:52,480
