Speaker 3: December is Saturday, right, yeah, yeah, lead vies everybody.

34
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,159
Speaker 5: I think January's most Christmas.

35
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 3: The last week of December is kind of like Sunday,

36
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:24,439
still a little bit of the weekend, but then here

37
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:30,520
come the scaries, and then you're into January, and that's Monday. Yeah, February,

38
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,520
Marty gra generally, so, yeah, February is awesome. But yeah,

39
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,000
so the point of that is with Monday on the way,

40
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,919
let's lock in and enjoy this December and be present

41
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,639
and not not try to just rush through the month

42
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,759
or hurry here and there to and fro to have

43
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:54,319
ourselves a very fun December. December's time, Uh, Taylor, what's

44
00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:55,159
you keep looking at me?

45
00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 7: Oh no, I'm just filling out the room.

46
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 8: I think I think May is the worst month personally, Okay.

47
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 4: Why is that nothing?

48
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 5: Nothing that you hate your mother too? Huh no, my

49
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:10,960
dad was.

50
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 6: Going to man, Yeah, so you hate your mom, man

51
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:16,360
your dad?

52
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,439
Speaker 3: No, no, no, just I mean to be fair, I

53
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:22,479
don't think Mother's Day is enough to save them months day.

54
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 5: It's not going to say birthday.

55
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: No, everybody has birthdays. Cookie, What did you do? You

56
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,599
do anything? You're You're okay? I mean that's a big boy.

57
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,960
That's a big boy for sure.

58
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 5: May's got SEC baseball.

59
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love well, I'm sure.

60
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,199
Speaker 7: I'm just thinking of my personal interest.

61
00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 8: Football is over completely because in February March Madness Tournament's over.

62
00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:54,280
In early May, the NFL, I mean early April, April,

63
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,800
the NFL drafts over. In late April, football doesn't Yeah,

64
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,639
and then football doesn't really start again till late July

65
00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:03,800
early August. So there is nothing going on for me

66
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:04,560
in the month of May.

67
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 4: It's been like June is great because it's summertime and

68
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,120
you're having a good time.

69
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:14,639
Speaker 5: Hmm, all right, well may you get out of school though?

70
00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

71
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 7: What about in school anymore?

72
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: Though?

73
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 7: So like, yeah, it's like May was my favorite month

74
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:20,319
in school.

75
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I felt so good. I felt so good to

76
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,079
get out, go enjoy nice little summer, and now you'll

77
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,480
Alice Cooper. Yeah, but then you become an adult and

78
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:31,360
you're like, wait, what we have to go to school

79
00:04:31,399 --> 00:04:36,000
year round every like what horrible? Why don't we Why

80
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,759
didn't we evolve like the Europeans did, you know, and

81
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,439
get holiday and get like a get like a month

82
00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:44,639
off every year just to uh, you know, actually enjoy

83
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,399
some of this earth.

84
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 6: I don't know, man, I I I enjoy those months

85
00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:51,160
when it's SEC baseball time.

86
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:52,959
Speaker 5: Absolutely, those are my favorites.

87
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 3: I'd love it if I had a month off. It

88
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,839
could watch SEC baseball time sick, you could change professions.

89
00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:01,839
I don't think anybody catching a month off.

90
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,439
Speaker 5: I'm saying if you're a teacher, that's true, that's true.

91
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,519
Speaker 3: The only problem being a teacher is a society. We've

92
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,040
just decided that we don't want to pay him anything

93
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,120
or show them any respect. You just want to show

94
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,000
our kids off on him and then uh not give them,

95
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,519
you know, not compensate them for it.

96
00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:21,759
Speaker 5: Well that's not in every state, that's true, just the most. Yeah.

97
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: Well, anyway, I hope that we all have a great December.

98
00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:30,079

me a call and let Tiger Labored's having meat your

110
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:09,199
workforce needs. Uh. So, when I was leaving here yesterday, Taylor,

111
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,800
you you you told me that Camoriot Pimpton headed entered

112
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,879
the transfer portal and you were you you were you

113
00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:20,319
were surprised. Yes, am I, I don't want to put

114
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:23,480
words in your mouth. You seemed perplexed or.

115
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 8: Not surprised at the l s U standpoint, a surprise

116
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:32,600
for the Pimpton standpoint of this, like he should be

117
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:35,480
in line for a decent amount of snaps next year

118
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:36,120
and Amazon.

119
00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:38,079
Speaker 7: Taylor, you haven't, really you haven't.

120
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 8: I mean as of right now, you have not signed

121
00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:41,720
a tight end out of the transfer portal yet.

122
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 7: So it's just a little it was just a little

123
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:44,279
odd to me.

124
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,079
Speaker 3: Uh. I didn't admit it now.

125
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 8: I maybe would have expected it after the portal closed

126
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,680
and see what LSU did now it is a little weird.

127
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 3: So this is what I would say, is that you

128
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,319
are correct, and that if you look at Pimpton's like,

129
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,839
let's just say that you're thinking transfer portal for things

130
00:07:01,879 --> 00:07:04,920
like playing time, production, all that, right, And if you

131
00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:08,920
look at Pimpton's story this year, then the timing is

132
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,480
a bit odd because yes, was he buried behind Mason

133
00:07:11,519 --> 00:07:14,560
Taylor for much of the year, Yes, but he started

134
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,720
to come on at the end, obviously, right, culminating in

135
00:07:16,759 --> 00:07:20,600
two really big catches in that final game, so easily

136
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,240
the best game that he had had yet. And to

137
00:07:22,279 --> 00:07:24,879
your point, Mason Taylor announces he's going to the NFL.

138
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,839
The path to the field for Kamor and Pipton seemed

139
00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:31,000
wide open, So why then did he do this? And

140
00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:35,120
that's where what I realized when you told me this yesterday,

141
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,560
is like I was just like, yo, Okay, sure, because

142
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,439
like you cannot hit me with a player hitting the

143
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:44,319
portal right now, that will surprise me because of kind

144
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,279
of the greater economic forces at play, right even if

145
00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:51,240
you don't and and look, this could be you know,

146
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:54,360
maybe Pimpton's like unhappy. Maybe maybe maybe it is that simple.

147
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:57,160
He's unhappy. He still wants to play more, he wants

148
00:07:57,199 --> 00:07:58,279
to get out of here. Don't like it, Like it

149
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:01,519
could be a million reasons. But there is also the

150
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,680
reality that we're in this kind of a gold rush

151
00:08:04,839 --> 00:08:07,360
right where, although it's up in the air as to

152
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,439
what will happen after the settlement, a lot of people

153
00:08:10,519 --> 00:08:15,040
are planning as if collectives will be going away and

154
00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:17,160
they have to spend all this money right now, there's

155
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,480
an argument you made that you should almost even if

156
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:23,240
you don't want to leave, you just hit the portal, negotiate,

157
00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:25,720
see what's out there, and then maybe you end up

158
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,319
saying or maybe you end up going somewhere else. So

159
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:30,800
like if you're telling me a player hits the portal

160
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:33,080
right now, I'm just saying, yeah, okay, for sure. I

161
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,000
mean they're just trying to get in on the gold rush.

162
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:39,440
Of December twenty twenty four.

163
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,159
Speaker 6: This might have been he had a conversation with LSU

164
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,639
and didn't like what he heard. Yeah, it could be

165
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:48,840
any of that, because he could have heard that LSU

166
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,960
is going after multiple tight ends, multiple veteran tight ends.

167
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,360
They have a very signing class that includes a tight end.

168
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:00,080
Penton did have two catches in the Oklahoma game, but

169
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,600
also he was really poor in the run game this year,

170
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,120
and that might have been something they had a conversation

171
00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:07,240
with him about. He's kind of stuck in no man's land.

172
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,240
He's not a why he's not an f So there

173
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,639
could be a thousand different reasons why this happened. Now,

174
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,679
if l U doesn't sign two veteran tight ends, then

175
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,159
that there, he's out the window.

176
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:17,879
Speaker 5: Now.

177
00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 6: We had to wait and see because I believe that's

178
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,519
maybe a portion of it. You already had one on campus.

179
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,799
Looks like you might have another that's going to visit

180
00:09:25,879 --> 00:09:26,399
that's in the.

181
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: Portal who came on campus already.

182
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,639
Speaker 6: I mean didn't or at least set it up right,

183
00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:34,559
uha that you telling us yesterday one has on campus

184
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:34,799
or at.

185
00:09:34,759 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 5: Least scheduled to come. He's scheduled to come on campus.

186
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: Ours no from UH from Arkansas oh okay, okay, okay,

187
00:09:44,159 --> 00:09:46,840
and then what's and then Eli Stowers in the from Vanderbilt,

188
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:50,600
he's in the transfer portal as well. Right, I haven't

189
00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:53,399
seen that. Okay, that that that that that's on me.

190
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,759
Speaker 6: I mean again, the Cousins Sharp that through the pass

191
00:09:56,879 --> 00:09:59,440
is in the portal as well. Okay, he played at Southeastern,

192
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,399
So there's a ti to Louisiana. My point is there's

193
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,440
multiple tight ends that are veteran tight ends in the portal.

194
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,600
You've already been attached to a couple as far as

195
00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:10,759
getting a visit, having a conversation, and so like, if

196
00:10:10,799 --> 00:10:13,440
you don't bring in at least two of those players,

197
00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:16,759
then you know, for me and the way I'm viewing this,

198
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,120
it's a different conversation. But I do think that's probably

199
00:10:19,159 --> 00:10:21,919
a portion of it. You also have trade as Green,

200
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,399
that's kind of the wild card as well.

201
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:29,279
Speaker 3: So yeah, so Pimpton in the portal, as Jake said,

202
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:31,679
though I think even before Pimpton was in the portal,

203
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,039
as Jake laid out earlier in the earlier in kind

204
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,039
of our roster evaluation, going after veteran tight ends was

205
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,679
going to be one of the premier goals of LSU,

206
00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:46,000
and this just maybe puts extra emphasis on what they

207
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,120
were already going to do. There is a familiar name

208
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,360
in the portal, the place tight end that might want

209
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,600
to come home. Bes yep, I see you shaking your

210
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,919
head to He was once the highest was it the

211
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,960
highest rate of recruit or the highest rated tight end

212
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,240
high fight in.

213
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 5: Of all time? Yeah?

214
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:10,639
Speaker 3: Rick Gilbert is back in the portal. Guys, what do

215
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:16,279
we think? No, he's leaving Nebraska. No second chances, flyer,

216
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:17,679
take a shot.

217
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 5: I mean he's had you know, he said multiple chances.

218
00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 3: He said a lot of chances.

219
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 6: I mean obviously the break into the vape shops there

220
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,720
was two of those. I mean, so it's not and

221
00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:29,759
that's not even meb in fights. That's on the field

222
00:11:29,799 --> 00:11:30,440
and off the field.

223
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 3: He's struggling with some real mental mental health issues.

224
00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, and we had those conversations when he was here

225
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:38,279
as a player. I'll be honest with you, I wasn't

226
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,679
sure that he was in a position to play football

227
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:42,919
moving forward.

228
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was kind of what I thought yesterday, or

229
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:46,840
when I thought as well. And then I saw that

230
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:49,399
yesterday his name hit the transfer portal. That would be

231
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,159
I mean again, I don't think it real else she's

232
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,720
going to realistically pursue it. But that would be an

233
00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:59,679
incredible comeback tail if he could finally work through some

234
00:11:59,759 --> 00:12:05,440
of his problems, be able to find success, you know, academically,

235
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,360
so he could be eligible and take advantage of that

236
00:12:09,639 --> 00:12:13,960
unreal physical skill set that he has. And you know, again,

237
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,279
I don't think else he's gonna do it, but he's

238
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,279
in the port I hope that somebody. I don't. I

239
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:19,399
don't believe it will, but I hope he can. Hope

240
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:24,440
that some way he will find his way. Does else

241
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,159
you need to be looking at a quarterback out of

242
00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:29,919
the portal? Yeah? You do, well, I've got another name

243
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:35,720
for you. Come on home the portal god himself, TJ.

244
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,679
Finley back in the portal. Guys, he's played for l

245
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:47,519
He started games at all these places too, LSU, Auburn, Texas, State, Western,

246
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,000
Kentucky and my man's is now going to a fifth

247
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,639
school in his sixth season. In toty thirty five only

248
00:12:56,639 --> 00:12:59,799
a Richard junior still too, Jake, we can push this

249
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,960
thing seven. Yeah, he will be a red shirt junior

250
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,480
or the redchord unior will be playing his six season

251
00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:08,559
twenties five, so I think that should be a senior year.

252
00:13:08,919 --> 00:13:12,320
But either way, TJ. Finley could push this thing to

253
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,840
six schools unless he maybe wants to come back here

254
00:13:14,879 --> 00:13:15,080
at EL.

255
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 8: Sooo, I mean his first year was twenty twenty, which

256
00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:20,279
didn't count YEP.

257
00:13:21,039 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 7: Where does the sixty year come in play?

258
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,639
Speaker 3: I guess't red shirted this year because he only played

259
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,320
what like he might have read shired. I'm guessing because

260
00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:32,320
I think I read that he only started like two

261
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:35,679
games for Western Kentucky, maybe three, and then I think

262
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,399
he got bingched. Remember he had like great numbers at

263
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,600
Texas State, the Tried Tournament Auburt he redshirted somewhere along

264
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,399
the line while still starting at least one game that year.

265
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,039
So if you talked about I mean we used to

266
00:13:49,039 --> 00:13:52,879
talk about J. T. Daniels, I mean, how about TJ.

267
00:13:53,039 --> 00:13:56,039
Finley's man cake due. He's got a lot of fun

268
00:13:56,159 --> 00:13:59,879
jerseys up LSU, Auburn, Tech, State, Western Kentucky. Who's going

269
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:02,879
to be the fifth TJ. Finley jersey in the man Cave?

270
00:14:02,919 --> 00:14:04,879
That's what I want to know at this point, does

271
00:14:04,919 --> 00:14:05,559
he feel like.

272
00:14:06,919 --> 00:14:09,759
Speaker 5: Let me say it's gonna be Louisiana Monroe.

273
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: Oh hell yeah, right, I mean, uh, general Booty hitting

274
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,399
the portal. Booty was kind of whatever. He wasn't the

275
00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:19,159
strength of that team. I'm not, no, I'm not I'm

276
00:14:19,159 --> 00:14:20,639
not not gonna I'm not going to go that far.

277
00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:21,879
Speaker 5: I'm right.

278
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 3: You like to do is.

279
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,879
Speaker 9: Just trying to be nice with the Booty family. Yeah,

280
00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:31,799
I mean, my boys, Booty was a little booty there.

281
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,279
You was right there for the running back. Was was

282
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,279
the key to ulm success. And he's in the portal

283
00:14:36,279 --> 00:14:36,840
as well.

284
00:14:36,679 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 5: Because visit to old myths. I think over the last.

285
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: Couple of days, you know, it's lame. Darien Mensa of

286
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,759
course is in the portal visiting Duke yesterday. And like,

287
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,080
if Minsa was going to transfer, I wanted him to

288
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:54,240
go to one of the big dogs, right like, uh

289
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,879
like at least like you had nine wins on the season.

290
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,320
Duke's fine, Duke, I want him to go to one

291
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,000
of the big dogs.

292
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:00,919
Speaker 5: Duke Duke should.

293
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,519
Speaker 3: But well, obviously they they believe it's many DEAs there

294
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,799
right now. Yeah, they believe in Manny. What he's doing,

295
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,360
because we're on the street is Duke's offering Mensa a million,

296
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,559
and that's what that's what his representation wants. Uh As

297
00:15:14,559 --> 00:15:17,720
we wanted that he's represented by Young Money, and they've

298
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,519
been saying, yeah, he's he's a seven figure player. And

299
00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:23,240
as you said, mensa single mother raised him and his

300
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:28,120
two siblings at functure, salary grinding, grinding for these kids.

301
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,240
And now Mensa has an awesome opportunity to to to

302
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,960
to set his family up way earlier than you normally

303
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,960
could in the past. So I'm happy for him. On

304
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,639
a personal level, I would just like to see him

305
00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:43,879
at uh at at at one of the bigger guys.

306
00:15:44,039 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 6: What you're saying, if he leaves the Green Wave, you

307
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,720
don't want him to leave for Duke, it.

308
00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:50,919
Speaker 3: Feels a little lateral. I know it's not you're going

309
00:15:50,919 --> 00:15:53,519
to the ACC nine wins like you said, but from

310
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,639
a brand standpoint, it feels a little lateral because two

311
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,879
Lane's been awesome and I'm a little surprised that tu

312
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,720
Lane can't come up with a million dollars for him,

313
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,639
which sounds crazy, but maybe Jullian just doesn't cares. Once

314
00:16:03,679 --> 00:16:06,200
we imagine that not not caring about football to the

315
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,879
point where you financially stress yourself out, and I mean

316
00:16:08,879 --> 00:16:09,840
that's sounds insane.

317
00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 6: Think how much of these numbers have gone up this year. Yeah,

318
00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:17,879
I mean so a million dollars would have been twice

319
00:16:17,919 --> 00:16:20,200
the amount of the highest paid LSU player from last year.

320
00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:20,519
Speaker 3: Yeah.

321
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:23,919
Speaker 6: Now, LSU definitely on the cheap side. But yeah, and

322
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,080
I'm hearing those numbers for players that you would know,

323
00:16:28,519 --> 00:16:32,559
you would know, but like a fan of a team

324
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,000
in the SEC and a player that's out of the

325
00:16:35,039 --> 00:16:38,559
SEC would have no idea who he was, like, and

326
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,320
you're hearing crazy numbers for players that, like the average

327
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,840
fan would have no idea who he is, where he is,

328
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,399
who he plays for, what position he plays, And you're

329
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,679
hearing like six fifty.

330
00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:53,159
Speaker 3: It's because, Jake, I.

331
00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:55,639
Speaker 5: Don't know why it is. I'm just saying it's.

332
00:16:56,039 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: Well, it's it's it's because though it's proven to be

333
00:17:02,279 --> 00:17:06,000
successful everywhere else, Right, look at all the teams that

334
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,839
had the best years out of the big boys, or

335
00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:11,519
all the teams that spent the most. One of my

336
00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:16,079
favorite quotes I've ever read Mike Duncan Storm Before the Storm. Okay,

337
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,920
little Roman history for you guys here the leis Pat

338
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:24,599
Cullis said quote, it's about precedents, right, Precedents do not

339
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,359
stop where they begin, But however narrow the path upon

340
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,240
which they enter, they create for themselves a highway whereon

341
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:37,440
they may wonder with the utmost latitude. And here's the key.

342
00:17:38,319 --> 00:17:42,319
No one thinks a course is base for himself, which

343
00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:46,759
has proven profitable to others. So maybe you were like, oh,

344
00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:48,759
paint a kid. There's much that ridiculous. I don't want

345
00:17:48,759 --> 00:17:50,799
to do that. That's crazy. And then you see somebody

346
00:17:50,799 --> 00:17:52,559
else do it and they go to the playoff and

347
00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:54,599
you're like, Okay, well, I guess I have to write.

348
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,359
Look at fran Brown and Syracuse. You think people thought

349
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,319
he was crazy When you pay Commic court eight hundred

350
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,400
k at Syracuse right or or or or all the

351
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,480
work that he did to get all that transfer portal class,

352
00:18:05,599 --> 00:18:08,160
you know, no credit to fran Brown for creating that investment,

353
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,279
for rallying the boosters and making them believe. I mean,

354
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,480
my man just getting washed this off season. That's good.

355
00:18:15,519 --> 00:18:17,160
That that don't that sounds bad If you don't know

356
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,279
the exact quote emerpherency there, Fran Brown just says he

357
00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:22,960
doesn't take baths if he loses, wins washed all time.

358
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 5: Quote.

359
00:18:23,279 --> 00:18:25,559
Speaker 6: I think he I think he he bays, but he

360
00:18:25,599 --> 00:18:26,400
doesn't use soap.

361
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: Uh, that was unclear. It was it was unclear as

362
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,119
to whether or not water's evolve. Soap is definitely not

363
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,720
only winners get washed. But the point is, like, yeah,

364
00:18:36,759 --> 00:18:39,519
even fran Brown at Syracuse right they invested their nine

365
00:18:39,559 --> 00:18:43,480
to three. So yeah, it's if if the market seems

366
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:46,759
like it's shooting up, it's because the returns have shown

367
00:18:46,799 --> 00:18:49,279
you that it should. Now you can also fall into

368
00:18:49,319 --> 00:18:53,680
a disastrous spot, Jake. And that's if you had a

369
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,880
bad year this year, because then there is no belief

370
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,640
and nobody's gonna want to give you money. I look

371
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,799
at a school like Arkansas right now, which just seems

372
00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:06,559
to be bleeding talent. There just doesn't seem like you

373
00:19:06,759 --> 00:19:11,000
have to believe in the man in charge to spur investment. Honestly,

374
00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:13,960
LSU's dealing with a little bit of this. I know

375
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:16,279
some people who you know, if you're not currently happy,

376
00:19:16,319 --> 00:19:18,680
maybe you're not willing to give as much as you

377
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,839
potentially could or would if things were a bit different.

378
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,000
So it's just a fascinating time in which we live.

379
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,880
But this is all to say Primpton hits the Portal. Okay,

380
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,720
you know, I'm not surprised if anybody hits the portal.

381
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:34,680
It's just what it is nowadays, and you just have

382
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,119
to deal with it, and you have to go fine

383
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,599
answers in the portal, And honestly, it's not a bad thing,

384
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,799
like it's actually good that you can go and get

385
00:19:43,839 --> 00:19:46,079
too veteran tight end to something that you could have

386
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,359
never done before, and you might have been in trouble

387
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,200
if you had him been able to All right, coming

388

Speaker 3: Man to see.

419
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:03,880

Speaker 3: Surelessly. Oh my god, Learn Learn is very well done,

421
00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:28,240
Very well done, Launder, Welcome back to o TV. Hope

422
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,640
everybody's having a wonderful morning. Uh a few LSU players

423
00:22:31,839 --> 00:22:33,839
that me may be having a wonderful morning.

424
00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 9: Uh.

425
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 3: Seven guys named to all SEC teams yesterday. Congratulations to

426
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,200
all of them. Uh, let's see we got Will Campbell

427
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,720
and Wit Weeks both making the first team very well deserved.

428
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,200
Pretty insane to think about Weeks getting there, considering just

429
00:22:53,319 --> 00:22:57,200
the complete lack of hype that he entered the season

430
00:22:57,319 --> 00:22:59,880
with and the fact that he didn't play. I mean,

431
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,279
when did when did we become a full time starter

432
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:03,359
after Perkins got hurt?

433
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:04,079
Speaker 2: Uh?

434
00:23:04,279 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 5: No kind of week two or three?

435
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:06,599
Speaker 1: Three?

436
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was already by three pretty much.

437
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,599
Speaker 7: South Carolina game is the sure.

438
00:23:10,599 --> 00:23:12,759
Speaker 6: Because I think, you know, I know, after the USC game,

439
00:23:13,039 --> 00:23:14,920
everyone's like, yo, he got being there more?

440
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,279
Speaker 3: Well, No, I remember that. I thought it was like

441
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,880
I thought it was like the first month, we were

442
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,160
like he should play, and they were playing more and

443
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,559
more and more. But whatever. The point is like, for

444
00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:24,319
at least a portion of the season he was playing

445
00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:27,160
about thirty percent of snatch right, and now his first

446
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:32,240
team All SEC. That's awesome. Emery Jones getting second team,

447
00:23:32,319 --> 00:23:36,720
Brayden Swinson getting second team again very well deserved. Aaron

448
00:23:36,759 --> 00:23:39,880
Burrell named second team. Who is the first team? Kickoff specially,

449
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,920
That's what I'm thinking. That's crazy, not first team?

450
00:23:43,039 --> 00:23:44,319
Speaker 5: My god? Uh.

451
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 3: And then Mason Taylor coming in as your third team

452
00:23:46,799 --> 00:23:49,680
tight end. That makes a lot of sense there. Mason Taylor.

453
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,559
Maybe not the most overwhelming stats, but like, especially if

454
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:54,720
you're a coach player whatever, like that's a guy that

455
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:58,039
you felt when you played LSU probably broke your you know,

456
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,200
he probably frustrated you in a couple of big with

457
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,880
a couple of big third downs that every game. Uh,

458
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:08,640
and Xavian Thomas named the third team return Specialists as well,

459
00:24:08,759 --> 00:24:11,720
So shout out so seven guys. That is Uh, that's

460
00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:13,599
a really cool atlade man. That's something you can carry

461
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,960
with you for the for the rest of your life

462
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:16,319
for sure.

463
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 2: There.

464
00:24:17,319 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's It's funny.

465
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 6: There's not many things that like awards or trophies or

466
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,799
whatever that I really really care about because like it's

467
00:24:27,839 --> 00:24:30,359
more about the experience in the actual trophy. Yeah, I'll

468
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,400
tell you what. That's second team Coaches All SEC. Yeah,

469
00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:35,160
instead of a gun hanging up, I.

470
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 3: Mean all you know, all jokes aside. Uh, it meant

471
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,799
a lot to me to be honorable mention on the

472
00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:43,160
Coaches All SEC team, right because the coaches, you know,

473
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,160
they're like because that that means that they were you know,

474
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,880
having to kind of think about you in the in

475
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,359
the run up to that game. And that's that's a

476
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:55,799
good feeling Jackson Dart is your first team quarterback, Quinn

477
00:24:56,079 --> 00:25:00,279
Years is your second team quarterback, and Leonora Sellers is

478
00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:02,720
your third team quarterback. That makes a lot of sense there. Uh,

479
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,359
Luther Burdon ended up as a first team wide receiver.

480
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,920
Are you surprised to that? Yeah?

481
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,759
Speaker 5: The number, I mean, the numbers weren't there, like we

482
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:10,559
thought that got all.

483
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I haven't looked in a while, but

484
00:25:13,839 --> 00:25:17,119
halfway through the season, Luther Burton had done really nothing

485
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:18,559
right right right first, well.

486
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 5: Certainly not to what the you know, what we thought

487
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:21,920
he was going to do.

488
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 3: I mean, he finish his seventeenth in the SEC and

489
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,200
yards sixty one catches for six hundred yards, the sixty

490
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:37,279
one catches his third touchdowns hit six eighth. I mean,

491
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,160
it was a it was an okay year. I don't know,

492
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:45,559
I don't know. I'm a bit surprised. Damn Andrew Armstrong

493
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,319
from Arkansas, Yep, I had a good year. Huh, had

494
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,920
a hell of a year and led the SEC eleven

495
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,920
hundred and forty yards. Only two one thousand yard receivers

496
00:25:54,079 --> 00:25:56,279
in the SEC this year. Yeah, kind of inter I

497
00:25:56,319 --> 00:25:58,400
mean we knew passing was down, that's a interesting little

498
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,400
quirk and it once again shows you what else you

499
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,079
had last year were you had two one thousand yeard

500
00:26:02,079 --> 00:26:04,599
receivers on your team and now there's only two in

501
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:05,559
the entire conference.

502
00:26:07,079 --> 00:26:09,839
Speaker 6: I love Luther Burdon, I do. I picked him preseason

503
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,759
Offense Player of the Year in the conference. But the

504
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,559
OIZ was the leading receiver on the team. Yeah, you know,

505
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,680
so it's a little surprising that Luther would get first

506
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,640
team All as you see. That's more off name recognition. Yeah,

507
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,000
and the expectation of what it was coming into the year.

508
00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:29,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about it. Caden Durham shout out to

509
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:34,079
Caden Durham named to On three's True Freshman All American Team.

510
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,440
And Jake, what do you think the xpect What are

511
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,200
your expectations for Caden next year? Is he RB one?

512
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,960
Like this this entire offseason is painting him as RB

513
00:26:44,079 --> 00:26:47,160
one and and him, look, are you expecting kind of

514
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,079
a breakout year?

515
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,279
Speaker 5: I don't think there's any question.

516
00:26:50,519 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 6: I mean, I think if he was healthy this year,

517
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,920
he might would have had the year that you're talking about.

518
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,920
He had two dislocated toes and that really that's slow

519
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,880
him down. And he still played really really well. A

520
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,559
couple of those runs that he broke out and maybe

521
00:27:05,599 --> 00:27:07,880
didn't finish in the end zone. Every LSU coach that

522
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,799
I talked with, they all said, to a man, if

523
00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:11,920
he's healthy, finishes that.

524
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:15,759
Speaker 5: Oh the oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, at least three

525
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:16,440
that I can remember.

526
00:27:16,599 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 6: That makes sense. I never thought about that. So it's

527
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,880
a player that I think was gritty this year. He

528
00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:25,440
was tough as a as a freshman going into some

529
00:27:25,519 --> 00:27:28,119
of the environments that he did. I'll lost South Carolina

530
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,720
and thriving gat like that. That's not easy to do.

531
00:27:30,839 --> 00:27:33,039
And so yeah, I fully expect him to be RB one.

532
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,880
You've got a couple of really talented freshmen that are

533
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,799
coming behind him, so like they're you know, they're gonna

534
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:41,039
have their spots and they're gonna get some carries. You

535
00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:42,880
know what happens with Caleb Jackson, that's going to be

536
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,519
something to pay attention to for your veteran running back.

537
00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 5: But no, he is the guy. He would be a

538
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,359
feature in this offense if I'm the coordinator.

539
00:27:52,839 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and I mean a freshman All American from

540
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,799
on three. So congratulations to Kyan Durham. That's another word

541
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,960

the bench.

584
00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 3: No Luigi segment today is straight up any Italian discrimination.

585
00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 4: Well, I hate to break it to you, but it's

586
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:38,559
not Luigi.

587
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 3: What.

588
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,559
Speaker 4: Luigi's not the guy who assassined eyebrows. It's not just

589
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,920
the eyebrows, that's right, it's everything, right, Sara tell me

590
00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:51,720
he had all the evidence on him at McDonald's. That

591
00:30:51,759 --> 00:30:52,680
doesn't make any sense.

592
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 3: So okay, okay, so let's play with this for a

593
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,240
little bit. So I do know that you like and

594
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,279
I don't know if you're bere are you being tongue

595
00:30:58,279 --> 00:31:02,079
in gk'd for real? Okay? Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

596
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,359
So why then did Luigi have all the evidence on

597
00:31:05,559 --> 00:31:06,160
meta McDonald's.

598
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,359
Speaker 4: I'm saying why did he?

599
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 5: But why did he?

600
00:31:08,319 --> 00:31:11,319
Speaker 4: Because it was planet on him? He literally was saying

601
00:31:11,359 --> 00:31:14,319
that way he was there, they were picking him up,

602
00:31:14,319 --> 00:31:15,839
and he's like, I don't know how this all got here.

603
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:16,559
It was planet.

604
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,519
Speaker 7: They did it up about pocket. I didn't feel it.

605
00:31:18,799 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if that passes the sniff like

606
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:30,200
sometimes like it what's less likely? But like, seriously, he's Italian,

607
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:31,720
gross hair fast.

608
00:31:31,559 --> 00:31:34,079
Speaker 4: There's no way that they grew back perfectly.

609
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 3: That yes, I can shave his chest and it'd be beck.

610
00:31:37,359 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 4: Also, Italians don't go look at his other pictures. He's

611
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,400
never shaved the un before.

612
00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:50,039
Speaker 3: I So let's play with your reality being real for

613
00:31:50,119 --> 00:31:53,200
a second. How pissed would you be if you were

614
00:31:53,319 --> 00:31:57,119
just eating a McRib and you get arrested for assassinating

615
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,119
and major healthcare ceo. Yeah, I I just went to McDonald.

616
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 4: I just wanted to McRib.

617
00:32:03,359 --> 00:32:05,279
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was at the gym this morning, like I

618
00:32:05,359 --> 00:32:07,039
went to work. This is my lunch break.

619
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 7: You're getting arrested. They're like, you're in big trouble. You're like, guys,

620
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,920
I know the mcrib's not for everybody, but let me alone.

621
00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 5: I love McRib.

622
00:32:14,319 --> 00:32:15,079
Speaker 7: I've never had it.

623
00:32:16,599 --> 00:32:19,319
Speaker 3: I think I appreciate its meaniness.

624
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,359
Speaker 5: I think it's not it's good. It's not like, yeah,

625
00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:26,839
it's it's it's donald.

626
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 3: It's it's pork meat just molded into the shape of

627
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:35,759
a rib but no bones. Obviously getting sued if you're

628
00:32:35,759 --> 00:32:37,200
in the movie like a pork sandwich.

629
00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 4: Sure, you know the healthcare people were getting sued and

630
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,799
they dumped a bunch of stock and he was on

631
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,799
his way to a meeting. So like, how did Luigi,

632
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,839
this normal ass dude, know that he was going to

633
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,960
go and like go to this meeting at that time?

634
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,039
No his route? No, Like how did he know theory?

635
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 3: Because Luigi was like a bit of a genius, right

636
00:32:58,880 --> 00:32:59,640
val Victorian.

637
00:32:59,759 --> 00:33:04,559
Speaker 8: She also, if you know where this guy works, just

638
00:33:04,759 --> 00:33:07,079
wait till he leaves work one day, then you follow

639
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,160
him home every day.

640
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 3: Family for six months, right, answer me this.

641
00:33:13,599 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 4: You've never gone radio silent before on your family six.

642
00:33:16,359 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 3: Months where people are like calming on my social media like, hey, man,

643
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,240
are you okay? We miss you?

644
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,599
Speaker 4: Like so what if you okay? So we all saw

645
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,720
the picture of the guy who was the suspect, right,

646
00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:30,480
we all saw it before Luigi was arrested. We were like,

647
00:33:30,599 --> 00:33:33,559
this is the suspect. It was already getting memed right,

648
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,960
you can't see anything, like it's just his eyes. And

649
00:33:38,039 --> 00:33:41,000
then you're gonna tell me. So imagine you're the work

650
00:33:41,039 --> 00:33:45,880
wreck McDonald, this normal ass dude smiling picture.

651
00:33:48,599 --> 00:33:49,119
Speaker 3: You're going to be.

652
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 4: Confident enough in recognizing Luigi that you're like, oh, I'm

653
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,079
gonna call the cops and this is the guy.

654
00:33:54,359 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, everybody in the world thinks they're a vigilante and

655
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,039
they don't mind the business.

656
00:34:00,119 --> 00:34:03,079
Speaker 3: Accidentally, I think he accidentally got tripped up by maybe

657
00:34:03,079 --> 00:34:05,680
a bit of a McDonald's. Karen. You know she loves

658
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,920
true crime, she watches every night, and this is finally

659
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,599
her happy. She knew it, she saw it, she took it. Well.

660
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 4: God, that's the problem with the world right now.

661
00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 3: Ronald on the phone. Ronald's like, tell Luigi it was me.

662
00:34:20,679 --> 00:34:25,639
Speaker 8: Every time something happens, somebody creates a conspiracy. Sometimes they happen,

663
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,159
but not every single time. I think this is a

664
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:33,280
classic tale of like people watch movies were crap like

665
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,719
this happened, so they think it actually happens in real life.

666
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,639
Speaker 3: Oh, it was two elderly customers at McDonald's talk exactly.

667
00:34:39,119 --> 00:34:43,639
Everybody else's elderly are locked in everybody.

668
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,679
Speaker 4: I also saw a video of one of the witnesses

669
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,360
and he was like I just called and then I

670
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,800
left before it he even got arrested. I didn't know

671
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,800
he got arrested. Like this man is being eyes.

672
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:01,039
Speaker 3: I just think this is funny because every single boy

673
00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:04,000
you've hit me with, it's just felt like no obvious.

674
00:35:04,079 --> 00:35:07,280
This feels all like yeah, like even when You're like,

675
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,519
that doesn't look like him like I thought it looked exactly.

676
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 4: I actually don't think it looks like him at all.

677
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,119
Speaker 3: He looks justice for Luigi.

678
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,199
Speaker 4: He's just he is. He was yelling at the news

679
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,159
yesterday they were trying to take him away, and he

680
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,559
was like, they think the American people are dumb, and

681
00:35:25,639 --> 00:35:27,679
they do think we're dumb, and that's why they're pumping

682
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:28,960
Luigi up in front of us.

683
00:35:29,039 --> 00:35:34,159
Speaker 3: But but that could maybe not be necessary that I'm

684
00:35:34,199 --> 00:35:36,599
not guilty. You could be they think the American people

685
00:35:36,639 --> 00:35:39,039
are dumb. That like they're gonna take the or they're

686
00:35:39,039 --> 00:35:40,960
gonna be happy that. I don't know, because that's the

687
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,119
most fascinating part about the entire ordeal has been. And

688
00:35:45,199 --> 00:35:48,039
I heard when he say this just a complete lack

689
00:35:48,119 --> 00:35:51,280
of empathy and and even I kind of feel it's crazy.

690
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,280
It just showed, well, it is messed up, but it

691
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,199
also shows.

692
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 4: You, like somebody's actual Oh it's Bill Bird.

693
00:35:56,559 --> 00:35:58,679
Speaker 3: Talking about this. Yeah it is. It is fair, but

694
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:03,039
it also shows you, like how people feel about when

695
00:36:03,039 --> 00:36:05,519
they have to deal with these companies they pay every

696
00:36:05,599 --> 00:36:07,920
single month and then when you need them, they feel

697
00:36:08,079 --> 00:36:10,360
you feel, is that their sole goal is to try

698
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,239
to screw you over, like you kind of reap what yourself.

699
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,960
And if you're the CEO of a company that is

700
00:36:16,119 --> 00:36:19,920
negatively affecting portions of society, you're being very highly paid

701
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,400
for it. It's tough for the regular to go kill

702
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,920
somebody over it you and you and to take a

703
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,840
little punch shot at your insurch company right now. I mean,

704
00:36:31,119 --> 00:36:34,840
I mean you don't want to chill out, guys, just kidding,

705
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,079
just kidding.

706
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna kill someone over and then celebrate the desk.

707
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you ain't a real one like Luigi, Poor Mario. Dude.

708
00:36:42,679 --> 00:36:43,840
Victoria is asking me about it.

709
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 8: She's like, who who's crazy enough to just go to

710
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,199
Starbucks and get a coffee right before and then just

711
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,119
sit down in McDonald's with all the stuff on you?

712
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,639
Speaker 7: Like, who's crazy enough to kill someone in broad daylight?

713
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 4: But if he's a genius like you, like he's a

714
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,239
valed victorian master's degree, all that you think he would

715
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:04,480
have this better thought out.

716
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 3: Than valor master's degree makes you a yeah genius has

717
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,760
done a ton of stupid stuff of the years. Right,

718
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,280
that didn't that didn't preclude you from uh.

719
00:37:14,119 --> 00:37:17,679
Speaker 4: Again, you just I'm pretty sure you're the one that

720
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,559
just called him the genius a couple of seconds ago.

721
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,679
Speaker 3: No exactly, I'm saying, but you asked. But you asked.

722
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,119
What was that response to how he could.

723
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 4: Exactly he should have planned the like they would have

724
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:28,800
had it planned out.

725
00:37:29,119 --> 00:37:33,079
Speaker 3: I think the Taylor's points him. No, I think the

726
00:37:33,159 --> 00:37:36,559
Taylor's point if you are already going to kill someone

727
00:37:36,639 --> 00:37:40,400
in broad daylight, we're maybe applying too much rational thought

728
00:37:41,079 --> 00:37:45,199
to the process. Yea, where like I don't again, if

729
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:50,559
you are straight up assassinating a person for ideological reasons, yeah,

730
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,440
you're pretty far out there mentally already.

731
00:37:53,559 --> 00:37:56,199
Speaker 4: But if he knew where all everything wasn't it obviously

732
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:57,000
was planned out?

733
00:37:57,199 --> 00:37:59,199
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, you could still plan it out and be

734
00:37:59,599 --> 00:38:03,599
the I mean they're not. They're not mutually exclusive, like

735
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,719
you know, like t BOMs saying. Everybody's like, well, how

736
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,800
could you be, you know, so wild to get caught? Well,

737
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,639
I mean you were wild enough to shoot this guy

738
00:38:11,679 --> 00:38:13,239
in broad daylight in New York.

739
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 4: Mario, maybe it was Mario. Y'all, just believe everything everybody

740
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:21,760
tells you.

741
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:26,079
Speaker 3: You're right. They call me Bob, Hey, we got there

742
00:38:26,079 --> 00:38:30,360
at the same time. Nice job, dude. You knows, dude,

743
00:38:30,559 --> 00:38:31,000
we'll see.

744
00:38:31,039 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 6: I have no idea what you are talking about, only

745
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,480
only what yall told me and showed me the only

746
00:38:36,559 --> 00:38:37,679
time it's ever come in front of.

747
00:38:37,679 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 5: My face like that, Like I haven't seen anything.

748
00:38:41,559 --> 00:38:46,079
Speaker 3: That's yeah, I don't know. It's uh, hence the shattered

749
00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:49,440
monoculture that we live in right, Like it's crazy, Uh

750
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,400
what can be? I feel like it's everywhere for one

751
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:57,199
person and then not even come across another person's algorithm. Last,

752
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,559
the algorithmic gods have ruled our existence.

753
00:38:59,599 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 6: I feel like like a real media because like I

754
00:39:02,079 --> 00:39:04,280
have no idea and I feel like no, I feel

755
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:05,719
like it's just me, y'all all in it.

756
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 5: There's nothing. I hadn't seen it. I hadn't seen it

757
00:39:10,519 --> 00:39:12,639
at all outside of y'all showing gun.

758
00:39:12,679 --> 00:39:14,559
Speaker 4: And silencer were three D printed.

759
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, all this stuff about subsonic grounds and all that

760
00:39:17,079 --> 00:39:18,000
stuff was actually.

761
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 4: Not right, the sub sonic ground that and like the

762
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:23,719
gun that they thought that.

763
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 3: It was, it wasn't. I mean it was just a

764
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,400
three D printed gun, yeah, which somebody was like, oh

765
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,280
my god, we're living in a crazy time. Like I

766
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:31,960
don't live in this have threed printed guns, isn't that?

767
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,360
And then later we started talking about World War One

768
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,079
and we're like, you know what, I might actually take

769
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:38,320
the three D printed guns time.

770
00:39:38,679 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, because world War.

771
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,039
Speaker 3: One, you know, you just have somebody watched all quiet

772
00:39:43,079 --> 00:39:44,760
on the Western Front and then he came back was like,

773
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,840
you know what, guys, maybe the three D printed guns

774
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:47,360
aren't that bad.

775
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 4: Actually that's what gets me, and people are like, oh

776
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,480
the world is any I'm like, these have been worse. Yeah,

777
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,280
like they've been way worse, way way atomic two atomic

778
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,079
bombs just on a country.

779
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 3: Like it's been very true, very true. All right, when

780
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,599
we get back, we can either do uh, we'll probably

781
00:40:06,599 --> 00:40:08,280
talk to football. Maybe it'll save the Pelicans for a

782
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,719
bit later. Did not expect Niki way to go? Did

783
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,320

Speaker 3: Carson Beck out And I don't know, Jake, that I've

816
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,440
ever seen something like this in my entire life, where

817
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:30,440
the cope from Georgia fans is so extreme that they

818
00:42:30,599 --> 00:42:33,000
just last their They lost their quarterback that has started

819
00:42:33,039 --> 00:42:36,119
the last two years for them and lost what three

820
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,679
games in two years, won a lot of the big ones,

821
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:44,360
just won the SEC Championship, they lose him, and everybody's like,

822
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,320
I think we're better with the kid that's played half

823
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:52,239
a game. I mean, like, I legitimately sincerely have Georgia

824
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,519
fans telling me they are better with Gunner Stockton than

825
00:42:55,599 --> 00:43:00,639
Carson beck Is that not crazy? Yeah?

826
00:43:00,679 --> 00:43:01,559
Speaker 5: I would disagree with it.

827
00:43:03,119 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 3: That's all.

828
00:43:03,519 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 5: That's what fans do.

829
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 6: Uh, Whenever you lose a player, you try to find

830
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,079
a way to feel better about it.

831
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 3: But it's like players too. It's I feel like it's

832
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,679
like not just fans, I feel like it's analysts. Some

833
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,599
some analysts making this point seems freaking wild to me.

834
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,239
I would be panicking if I was a Georgia Bulldog fan. Yeah.

835
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 6: And I know that Gunner came in into the SEC

836
00:43:23,559 --> 00:43:25,880
Championship game. You got a little juice there. He did

837
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:31,519
play well, as far as a player coming into that situation. Now,

838
00:43:31,559 --> 00:43:33,679
he didn't like set the world on fire for we're

839
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,679
just grading it off of like just a performance of

840
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,119
a quarterback. Now, the numbers weren't great. He had a

841
00:43:39,159 --> 00:43:45,400
couple of plays that probably should have been returned for

842
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,000
a touchdown. If the player just turns around and blocks

843
00:43:48,079 --> 00:43:49,639
and doesn't point to the end zone, like the player

844
00:43:49,639 --> 00:43:52,559
didn't know where the end zone was, I wouldn't feel

845
00:43:52,599 --> 00:43:55,760
better about it. No, I think this is this is

846
00:43:56,079 --> 00:44:01,159
you know, fans, players trying to know give their guy

847
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,360
confidence feel better about it themselves. Now, the animals part

848
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,000
of it, I can't know. I can't get behind that.

849
00:44:06,159 --> 00:44:09,440
Not Carson Beck's a really good football player. Uh, there's

850
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,760
been games where Carson Beck has has taken over and

851
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,360
you've you know, won games because of Carson Beck. He's

852
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:22,119
also thrown to maybe I'm sitting her looking. I mean,

853
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,880
is it the worst receiving room in the in like

854
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:26,480
the playoff?

855
00:44:27,079 --> 00:44:27,199
Speaker 3: Uh?

856
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 6: I mean maybe like Boys and State doesn't have great receivers.

857
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,719
Boys say and and and without. I mean even though

858
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,679
they did play well in the Big Top Championship. I

859
00:44:37,599 --> 00:44:40,079
mean that's still I'd match him up. I mean, Georgia's

860
00:44:40,119 --> 00:44:45,840
receivers right now, te they the drops that they've had

861
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,039
are just mind boggling that that's a that's a Georgia

862
00:44:50,159 --> 00:44:50,880
receiver room.

863
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,559
Speaker 5: They have. Nobody that's getting any separation.

864
00:44:55,039 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 6: Really, you've used your tight ends over the last four

865
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,559
weeks or so in your running backs.

866
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:05,519
Speaker 3: Maybe even worse is losing their punter, Brett Thorson Ray

867
00:45:05,599 --> 00:45:08,360
guy finalist, one of the best punters in the entire country.

868
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,480
And when you think about a playoff games where you're

869
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,360
gonna play the best teams in the country and therefore

870
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:19,440
field position will be at a premium, losing a guy

871
00:45:19,519 --> 00:45:21,519
who has been your guy catches the knee injury on

872
00:45:21,599 --> 00:45:24,880
his non kicking like that for the year, which sucks

873
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,880
for him personally, but like, yeah, that's a major blow.

874
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,559
Like what a costly SEC championship. It's a bit if

875
00:45:32,559 --> 00:45:35,000
they like, Okay, you won the SEC CHAMPIONSHIPGA in Georgia,

876
00:45:35,039 --> 00:45:38,639
what did it cost everything? I think they're done. George

877
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,000
is cooked. I don't think they can win the Naty

878
00:45:40,039 --> 00:45:40,440
straight up.

879
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 5: Oh no, I don't. I don't. I don't think with

880
00:45:44,119 --> 00:45:45,679
Carson Beck they could win the Natty.

881
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 3: I could have given I could have gotten there with that.

882
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 5: And I'm in the minority in that.

883
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 6: And I said that on Friday or Saturday when we're

884
00:45:51,039 --> 00:45:52,599
in Atlanta, and I got some pushback there.

885
00:45:52,639 --> 00:45:54,199
Speaker 5: I just you don't have the weapons.

886
00:45:54,840 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 3: You do not have our two Wow. Look, I mean

887
00:46:01,199 --> 00:46:01,880
off the bench.
