Speaker 1: Santa's Little helpers from jacob Hester and are taking over

for some naughty and nice sports talk this Christmas season
live from studio. Here's jacob Hester.
Speaker 2: And Mont from Christmas sell the banging, It's sun Stream
and shot.
Speaker 3: Come on, yo, I forget I'll do that. I mean
I wouldn't even expecting the ends against Roll. Let's go. Yeah, yeah,
we have.
Speaker 4: To uh again.
Speaker 3: Today's December first. That's that missed the Yeah? Ok, what happened?
We were chat? We were chit chat. What did you do?
Speaker 4: I just made you sound like an elf?
Speaker 3: Nice? I can't wait to hear. Sorry.
Speaker 5: Welcome in O t B, Jake, Flynn, Elandra Cassie here
with you on this Monday morning. Tiffin watches over Kiff
and watch, buddy. We're starting with the two and nine
Saints lead this show you talking about You see him
man got outside kick?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did well, and then a lot they dropped
at the end zone.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, we're not starting with the New Orleans Saints.
We'll get there eventually, we won't. Matthew's right the lane.
Kiffin watches over. He is now your Tiger's head coach.
And after weeks of speculation and when is it going
to happen?
Speaker 3: Is it going to happen? It is done and.
Speaker 5: You care, you know, turning a page from this season, uh,
looking ahead to the next season obviously, like already, like
got to hit the ground running. You got a signing
day coming up on Wednesday, and we'll get to we'll
get to all of that. But it is officially official
and the guy that I think every LSU fan wanted.
Speaker 6: Is now your head coach. This is a day of
celebration for LSU Tigers. Lane Kiffin has made his decision.
I don't know, I felt like it's probably made a
little while ago.
Speaker 5: It was a lot of I mean it was, but
as we've seen in these coaching searches, it's not official.
Speaker 3: No, it's until it's either the coach or the.
Speaker 6: University, one of the two universities makes an announcement.
Speaker 5: And sometimes when the university even puts it out there,
they got to quickly delete the tweet.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: Well, in a coaching decision that was full of turbulence,
full of uh, excitement, anger, nervousness, ULSU gets their number
one guy and that has been pretty clear. Been a
lot of questioning on on this side of the table
of is he really?
Speaker 3: Is he not? Is it?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 3: Why this? Why that?
Speaker 6: A lot of questioning is just trying to figure out
trying to get in the mindset of other people, which
is impossible to do right. But no, there can't be
any argument that he was the number one target for
probably many schools, certainly two schools that.
Speaker 3: We know of.
Speaker 6: But Lsu is uh the prettiest girl at the dance.
There's no doubt about that when it comes to recruiting
high school kids, when it comes to history, when it
comes to what could possibly be.
Speaker 3: Well, it is such a pretty girl at the dance. Lsu?
Is that you are?
Speaker 6: You know, you're okay with kind of giving up the
opportunity to chase a national championship with the current team,
And whether you like that or love that or whatever
it is, you can't argue that ls you got a
good one. So we should all be excited, no matter
the circumstance. We should still be excited that he is
here in Baton Rouge and starting out on a good foot.
Speaker 3: Of of course, all the you know, it's like.
Speaker 6: A like a like a politician like the President visiting
Baton Rouge yesterday with the motorcade and the cobble in
the bushes. Again, you think he's got a tent by
this point, got a Ghillie suit. Where is he?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: For sure, Like I wonder where he's sitting at, you know, kyble,
Like he really doesn't care very often, like he might
just be right there on the sidewalk and say, you know.
Speaker 3: I'm right here waving until it's me. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, he got video of everybody in the building
last night, and it's the scenes from both air.
Speaker 6: The scenes from both there a little bit different different,
Probably a good forty five minute flight on that private jet. Yeah,
what a difference a takeoff and a touchdown can be.
So then you got Marty Smith with an interview by
the bushes and the barbed wire in the background. I mean,
this is it was a wild scene. You talk about
a rush decision, a rushed exit, a rush entrance.
Speaker 4: My goodness, Marty and the bushes and being locked in
Oxford department was gold Like Marty is my week in winter?
Speaker 3: For sure? My god. I was like, are they going
to let this man go home? H Like he was
being held hosted at.
Speaker 5: This point, is he paying taxes in Oxford? My guy
is just there in the building. I'm like, and also
like if you're old, miss, and like you know why
he's in the building, like a little bit awkward when
you walk by him as well, because like he's there
to report your coach is probably leaving.
Speaker 3: It's me Marty. And then I'm charming. He gets the
interview and Lane's like, that was impressive.
Speaker 5: You went off road and dodged these fire trucks to
be able to get back here to this.
Speaker 3: But I got locked in, locked into the cilly. You
think I'm missing this interview? Oh, like I am getting
this at all. Better let me on that plane. Oh
my god. It was great.
Speaker 6: The memes great of Marty were great coming out of
like him with a with a beard, looking like he
was like one hundred and ten years old, still waiting
on the decision.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. Yeah, that's really how I felt them.
Speaker 6: Look, I don't I don't envy plane Kiffin and what
he's had to go to. I certainly don't feel sorry
for like any decision or like and and he said
the same thing about himself, like it's something not something
that I feel sorry for. But like I envy, I
I uh, I feel bad for the decision that had
to be made. Yeah, and we can get into that
in this show of like I guess the pitfalls and
the downside of college football and the scheduling and the
time everything and how that kind of forced this. And
unfortunately there's gonna be a lot of people out there
that are there that are gonna hate that are gonna
hate the decision and Lane Kiffin for doing this and
all that stuff.
Speaker 3: But fans, yeah, oh, make no mistake about it.
Speaker 5: Like we we already had a lot of college football
that did not like us, Like that was already in place.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 6: Now we're the main villain. Yeah, No, it's like full
blown hill turn situation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, everybody, we are. But you know we are, y'all.
Y'all know this about me, and y'all are like this
as well. It is a family, It is faith, and
it is L s U. Those are my priorities in life. Okay,
So as long as that priority for me and L
s U is it a good spot and happy and
everything's moving in the right direction. The amounts of you
know what that I don't give that that is now
going to be the case and right, wrong or indifferent right.
I am always gonna want what's best for my family
and for LSU, and for LSU. This is a great deal,
This is a great move. This is something that makes
you better instantly.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 5: Some of y'all were there with me in Norman, Oklahoma
and had to sit in that wind and watch that offense.
Speaker 3: I hate where is about you being such a winny wind.
Speaker 5: I know you played in Green Bay, my guy, and
I know you just took your jacket off to try
to flex.
Speaker 3: Okay, but did one hundred and fify push ups this week.
Speaker 5: If you had to sit in that weather and watch
that offense, I think you are even more excited that
Lane Kiffin is now going to be scheming up your offense.
Speaker 6: I watched the offense, but I've done a lot of
film breakdown. I didn't even I'm not even gonna like
the last couple of weeks. I haven't even watched the
snap of film. Just don't want to. There's no reason to.
I don't want to, like say why you have it?
Because you don't recognize those plays because they're not real.
A lot of them aren't real plays, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 5: There's not a lot of real plays, like for you,
somebody that's watched tape for a long time, and I
think it's honestly, you're one of the best I've ever
been around. So when you're doing that, well, there's a
rhyme or a reason to the plays that you're typically watching,
and you can see it.
Speaker 3: Can't you can't do that. I'm not. I mean, it's
not a joke.
Speaker 5: It's just as factual, like it's hard to find the
rhyme and reason in what you're watching, and so it's like, I.
Speaker 3: Don't want to watch that. Yeah, I can't make a
note of that because that's not real. Mm hmm.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like, uh, Unfortunately, we saw that with our
you know, guy we hired to be offensive coordinator, then
after he was gone, the guy we didn't hire to
be an offensive coordinator, and just it just it just
never worked. And I get it, you got to keep
you gotta try different things. But like, we don't have
to worry about that. We got Lane now, so we
don't have to worry about bad offensive play anymore. I
don't think, well, we'll see, we'll see. But like to
your point, to go back a little bit, on the whole,
like LSU fool Hill turn, like got in Brak being
the bad guy a little bit at least for a
little while, Right, And you were right. People love to
hate on LSU just because of the success l You's
had in all sports, because of in il In I
LSU documentary like all that stuff. Like people kind of
like to hate on LSU just because of the success
and because people like to give LSU, I think the
benefit of about nationally about being a top program in
almost every single sport, which is something that has been earned.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has absolutely been earned the hard way.
Speaker 6: So I think that people are gonna hate on this
because I think maybe they think we're gonna try to
earn it the easy way or the expensive route and
exploit a little bit of the college football money game
that is this day and age, this is this is
college football. And like I was probably the last person
to jump on board with this move. I was pretty
adamant about here, like why would he leave? Like why
would you do all this? Why this or that? Like
none of that really matters now, Like I did, I
didn't like. I love the coach. I think he is
a fantastic coach. I love Lane Kiff, and I'm super
pumped that he is at LSU. But I was pretty
vocal about saying, I just hate the circumstance, right, the
circumstance that he was put in, that everybody at LSU
was put in, old miss certainly what position that old
miss is put in.
Speaker 3: I felt terrible for their kids.
Speaker 6: I know not many people listening to my voice right
now care, but like, those are human beings right there
that that have worked hard. But the circumstance of all
this having to happen in such a rushed manner. Yeah,
and like you heard in Lane's voice when he got
interviewed yesterday, I'm already before he jumps on the plane,
like you could tell that there's some Yeah, there's some
pain behind those eyes right there, right rightfully? So and
I get it. So I hate the circumstance of everything happening.
But now that he is here in Baton Rouge, in
that corner office and why you know, waving with top
recruits off the balcony at Michael Cobble, Like, I couldn't
be happier. I'm thrilled, right, So who cares? Like, I
guess you you have to fully embrace it.
Speaker 3: As LSU.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you this and we'll take a break and
we'll try to say on the clock today, it's going
to be pretty difficult to do so of all the
like of all the things that I've seen about, you know,
the schedule, which it's it's broken, and I don't you
can argue with the wall. I don't really care. I'm
telling you what it is. It's broken. Rick Patino of
all people, all right, he's a sport coach, yep, you know,
he's at Saint John's now, and he's like, he's like,
I'm not taking a knock at football, but their calendar
is like if I just got the one seed in
March madness, but I had to decide do I coach
in March madness or do I take this elevated job.
Speaker 3: That's what the football calendar is right now, rapid.
Speaker 5: It would be a basketball coach having to take a
job after you get into March mad Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's absolute stupidity, and I don't know what
the fix is. Certainly, don't have an early signing day.
That's dumb. Well, I have an early signing day so
they can enroll in the second like in the spring,
semester day. Don't let them enroll in the spring semester.
Let them come do football activities. If they want to
graduate early from high school, let them come football activities
and then start schooling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the summer. Like there's rules that can be made.
I know it's in.
Speaker 5: Vogue, and I know everybody does it, and I know
that ninety percent of your class does come early now
and I think it's dumb.
Speaker 3: I do, but man, it.
Speaker 5: Would take a lot for me to give up my
spring semester in high school and playing sports.
Speaker 3: One last time in high school.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was That was one of the most like
the most fun I can remember having. Yeah, and guess
what I got here in June and I started as
a freshman.
Speaker 3: It can be done. Yeah, it can be done.
Speaker 6: Everybody did it until recently, right, and like this is
probably the day and age where you need to do
it the least them out. Like the kids don't need
to roll because the transfer portal. Yeah, my kids don't
have to step in as much.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure, if I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure
harlem Berry wasn't an early enrollly. I'm pretty sure he
got here in the summer I got. So I'm just
giving you an example of like, you know, freshman can
figure it out. Yeah you don't, you can get ready.
Speaker 6: I've always thought that the them enrolling early is dumb.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, that's just me.
Speaker 5: We had like one or two our class our classes, Yeah.
Speaker 3: And that, but that was like, that was a weird thing.
Speaker 6: It's called a gray shirt at the Yeah, j I
think JV the High sp Yeah he did. Yeah, Trindon
Holiday did interesting. Well, Yeah, you'd have to change that certainly. Yeah,
let him sign in February again. Yeah, let him go
to their problem. My god, stop putting these seventeen year olds.
Who was the quarterback year? He was like sixteen last year.
And Colin Hurley. Yeah, Colin Hurley is like sixteen years
old in spring training last year.
Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, that's like eighth grade advantagel, Like, let
the kid get drive for the first time.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. All right, So we got a lot
to get to.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of different branches on this tree of
how it all played out, how we got here, what
it's like moving forward as well. Who's coming with Lane Kiffin.
He's bringing a ton of assistance and on the field,
off the field. We will get to every single aspect
of it. There's so much to get to. Stay locked

yoga this morning? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I might have had one of that that private jet
a little PG. Let me just tell you something real quick.
That was the same one that I rode on to Norman.
Let me tell you something. That is a smooth ride.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: I thought I was getting on like one of those
you know, not a crop dust or anything. But sure,
you know, maybe like four seats in there. Walked on
that thing. It was more than four seats and it
was a little bit smoother than the four seaters I've
been on. Yeah, it's a shout out to MMR for
the ride. A little different than that old private jet
that they had. I remember like getting picked up on
that thing for my official visit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, picked me up at Tyler pounds Field, flew to
Course of Canada, Texas, picked up Michael Montgomery Money Mike.
He ended up playing at A and m I was
his teammate in Green Bay for a year or two. Okay,
you know, Money Mike. We went and came to Baton Rouge.
It was it was it was amazing, but it was
like real tight, real for sure.
Speaker 5: I'm thinking that one to media days with the LSU
before so they didn't pick up the two start uh.
After we played in the state championship game. We just
we made a pit stop for my official visit.
Speaker 3: We drove up turn into receipts. We'll pay you for.
Speaker 5: Gas'll give you a pretty, give you a pretty.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't don't get those fundings at the gas station.
So we're recovering those.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 5: So, as we said, we know some of the staff
from Ole Miss that is coming with Lane.
Speaker 3: Kiffen to l s U.
Speaker 5: You've got you know, some administration and on the field, uh,
Billy glass Cock is going to come in one general manager.
You've got strength and conditioning coach Nick Savage. So pretty
solid name for a strength and conditioning coach.
Speaker 6: That is that is s tier name for a strength
and conditioning coach. Sure Savage. Yeah, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 5: A lot to live up to. But getting jobs in
the SEC you've probably done that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think there was some rumors. Yeah,
definitely a lot to live up to with the name. Yeah,
I think you could do it. Yeah, but there's a
lot of certainly we probably should because we mentioned so
much and we love that man so much. There's a
lot of rumors like, oh could we bring them off
it back? Blah blah blah. That probably closes that door. Yeah,
you never know, but like that probably closes that door.
But with the Namelin Nick Savage, all right, yeah, let's
see step one, see what you got step on.
Speaker 5: H of course Lane's brother, Chris Kiffin, receiver coach, George
McDonald and probably more important than any of them and
not disrespectful to any of those guys. Right, we'll see
how that plays out. We'll give you a bio of
all those different guys. But we know what Charlie Weiss
offensive coordinator is all about as well, Like that's the
name that LSU fans are going to know, and you know,
I know his name is still kind of being floated
around for some of the G six jobs that opened
up because those G six coaches took some SEC jobs.
But as of right now, Charlie Weiss also going to
be here at LSU with Lane Kiffin, so that you know,
typically you don't hear that many staff members right off
the top because you're like, okay, well they're going to
finish out and then we'll get our staff all together.
But with the way this whole thing played out and
with old miss being like no, you either kind of
enter out, and Lane knowing that he had to bring
in his staff to get started, and he did.
Speaker 3: I mean you saw him.
Speaker 5: Lamar Brown's in his office last night, the top recruit
in the country and he's recruiting, so he's trying to
hit the ground running as well. And so that's a
lot of names and a lot of new faces coming
with Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you knew there was a lot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you knew there would be. It is a little
surprising that they're coming now. But maybe like this thing
was so got so messed see and so sloppy at
the end from an old miss standpoint that it was
like you could tell they're like, you're either with us
or you're not.
Speaker 3: And we don't know who really said that.
Speaker 6: I know there was reports yesterday of like an ultimatum
that Lane Kiffin gave, like cause I think the rumors
of oh my god, like so the reports are saying that,
you know, Lane's trying to coach. Of course a lobby
into coach and like I'm taking the other Hue job,
but please let me coach this this thing out because
of the timing and schedule of college football being all
screwed up. Let me coach and finish where we started.
And then the report saying you know, no, we're not
gonna let you do that. Okay, well then I'm gonna
take take some staff. So I don't know, it's all.
It's all sloppy, and I'm just gonna like put my
blinders to it and.
Speaker 3: Just be happy that they're here. Yeah, And that's what
I gotta do for me.
Speaker 5: There is some person I know, I know, but there's
there's some out there met that are acting like like
this has never happened before, like it's happened even going back.
Speaker 3: Let me let me put them.
Speaker 5: Oh god, it's been over twenty years twenty one years
ago when coach Saban left us, like no, no, hold on,
I know, before you do your whole we weren't playing
for the playoff. I know all that, But I'm saying
he was our coach one day and then he wasn't.
Derek Dooley was my running back coach, and then he wasn't.
He was still our coach at the next game. And
I yeah, because it was the Capital One Bowl, I
understand that it wasn't the playoff. My whole point is
I'm saying those were our coaches and then three days
later after the game, they weren't sure. It's like they
leave and they went to the Miami Dolphins. So like
for players, it's you know, the playoff portion of that
is obviously something different, but like once they take jobs,
they gone. I never talked like when Dooley took the job,
he was a running back coach, when he follows Nick
to Miami, I never heard from that man again, you know,
never like until we' Louis antech our senior year and
I talked to him for thirty seconds before the game.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean this whole thing is unprecedented, so
like this is never really it would have certainly never
happened before that a coach leaves and decides to coach
for an extended period of time, and certainly they have
potentially what three more games to play and soon to
be probably the most important, biggest game in the history
of ole Miss hosting a playoff game pretty big deal
for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's all because of what Lane and his
staff have done.
Speaker 6: So yeah, certainly it would have been against the norm
to let him stay.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know. I feel bad for the kids.
Speaker 6: John Summer, who will get to that's the same situation.
Speaker 3: He's gonna at least coach the American Championship.
Speaker 5: Yep, too Lane, right now, opportunity to make the Cosge
Football playoff a lot believe if they win the American
that they're going to get in the playoff. So I
mean it's not just Lane Kiff and leaving Old Miss.
I mean that's the same situation in North Texas. And
if they win the American and they get into the playoff,
guess where their coach is.
Speaker 3: He's there. He's also the head coach of Oklahoma State.
Now mm hmm. And it's a little different ball again
because it's they're certainly not a rival.
Speaker 5: They're not going to right, I get that part, But
their team still has a chance of the Coast Football Playoff.
One of those two teams, in my opinion, is probably
going to get in. And if they don't, by the way,
I get the turnover Chaine because that means James Madison
went got in.
Speaker 3: Just lett, y'all know. But come on, too Lane.
Speaker 5: I mean, so like this situation is not going to
be unique probably to Lank If in an Old Miss,
you're too Lane in North Texas might be in the
playoffs as well with their coach being the head coach
somewhere else.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's probably the Probably something like this needed
to happen if people actually want college football schedule to change,
you needed something that is this polarizing. You needed something
this big to happen to like, to spark any change
in anything in life, you got to have something that
sparks it. And uh, hopefully this this does. But Fellows fans,
it doesn't really matter. What do you let's do over there?
Speaker 4: I think editing something. I was gonna say that it
kind of happened with Brian Kelly, like Notre Dame was
they had a chance, they had a chance to make
the playoffs when he left them in the middle of
the night.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the boor when he left Washington, And that was
kind of after when the rumors had started before, but
he did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it didn't come out till after I guess the game.
Speaker 5: I think coach Saban knew what he was doing by
delaying his retirement until you know. That probably happened as well.
But the whole point is not the first time. It's
not the first time. Now this one looks why do
you keep scrunching your nose. It's not the first time
you have two coaches is in North Texas in Tunelane
that to be in the same situation, you know the.
Speaker 6: Words coming out of your mouth. I got it. But
it's a little it's a pretty unique situation. Let's be honest.
Speaker 5: But m M, you know you know the definition of unique,
because there's a chance that it could be.
Speaker 6: You can look at everything with rose colored glasses if
you want. But it's it was messy. It was sloppy.
Speaker 3: Oh of course it was.
Speaker 5: But I'm saying it's not going to be the only one.
There's literally a chance that Oklahoma State's new coach or
Florida's new coach is gonna be put in the same
situation by who wins the American Championship Game?
Speaker 3: Are they historic rivals so they play every year? Okay?
That adds a layer to it, That's what I'm saying.
Let me.
Speaker 5: Okay, it took seven overtimes for L. S U and
A and M to be a thing. Seven overtimes. They
tried to force that to be a rival. It wasn't
It took seven overtimes?
Speaker 3: Would you let me?
Speaker 5: I'm trying to get there. It took that, Okay, Ole
Miss and L s U. I know for some people
it's been a rival. Was Old Miss a rival for you, sir?
When you played for LSU? Did you feel any Did
you feel any different when you made for me?
Speaker 3: Either? All right?
Speaker 5: So now sure, Now this adds a layer to it.
Maybe it's back, because I know at one time it
certainly was. It wasn't for a long time. There's a
lot of LSU football players that if you said give
me your three rivals, not one of them would say
Old Missing.
Speaker 3: Those three.
Speaker 5: Now you could ask some old heads and they for
sure would put Ole Miss in there. This just restarts
one of your permanent opponents. And now it took seven
over times for A and M to get some juice.
Well the juice is there now. So sure rival. Now
you just said it. You just said they weren't a
rival when you played.
Speaker 3: Yeah, true, or in conference?
Speaker 6: I never have a part. I know that part is different.
It is is a little bit different. The people who
play every year are in fact some sort of rival.
That's why it's different than the Big twelve. It's why
it's everything the Big ten. Anyway, we're arguing for nothing
right now, for no reason.
Speaker 3: We do that a lot. Yeah, the old ball and chain,
old ball and chain.
Speaker 5: All right, we'll take a break more OTB when we
come back here live.
Speaker 3: From the Raising King Studio.
Speaker 1: Off the bench.
Speaker 3: Well, what do we do? Go for dose?
Speaker 6: Maybe nerve elibatory Irvin spears or celebratory beers.
Speaker 3: Nervis spears is probably right for a.
Speaker 6: Lot of people, uh beers watching the Oklahoma game.
Speaker 3: Mmm, a lot of anger drinking.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would have liked to go on for dose
and in the booth after you probably should have ended
the game there, probably should have.
Speaker 3: But look, you got the holidays coming up.
Speaker 5: You probably enjoyed it with Thanksgiving, you got Christmas, you
got the New Year's you got family in town, you
got everybody around the fire. No better way to celebrate

Speaker 3: Like four point thirty.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we also do we just get another We also

But like on a weekday after school after Thanksgiving break,
he might be like, hey, can we just like get
the Hibachi Express and do it at the house. Yep,
you know, so we'll see you know what.
Speaker 6: Like one of the one of the more impressive professions
out there is being habachi chef. Like this, the amount
of skill that those guys have, it's incredible. I gotta
sit there and I watch my kids who have no
mouth eye coordination. They've never trained it. They can catch
an egg. They don't even move their face. I got
throw that egg right in there. It's unbelievable. So we
haven't thrown the shrimp at the kids yet. Well, obviously
catch it from across from Saint Francisville.
Speaker 3: He's got it, no doubt. I might have to take
an egg. I might have to move my left right.
I can see him.
Speaker 5: I can see him being ultra competitive, like boxing out
his kids to try to catch the little piece of egg.
Speaker 6: That's the guy's throwing over there. I'll burn my hand
if I have to lean over. It doesn't matter. Oh yeah,
it's pretty good. But it's impressive what they do. They
just they get like the accuracy they have with a
long spatula like that with a little flick of an egg.
Speaker 4: And they like flip knives and stuff and absolutely with knives.
Speaker 6: I like when they put the throw the egg on
top of their hat. I like when they roll it down,
the spetch over.
Speaker 4: The egg roll.
Speaker 6: So when I was in Green Bay used to go
to there was a about you like not a lot
of restaurants in Green Bay.
Speaker 3: There's a lot.
Speaker 5: I mean when you were there, like I've heard, like
being there for the draft, I heard like all the
things that were like really really cool, weren't they were
like five especially.
Speaker 3: For stuff around the state.
Speaker 6: Like so when I was there, it was like either
chain restaurants or really nice restaurants. Hated to see you coming.
Oh my god, are you kidding me? Red Robin killing.
Speaker 3: It, Red Robin.
Speaker 4: Bottomless.
Speaker 6: We had so much Chipotle it was ridiculous, but like
like one treat that would give ourselves, like once a
week we'd go to the Bachi place, because like we
all had that memory of you know, it's we got
to go there as a kid. I got to go
there like once a year. From now we're an adult
and we're getting a paycheck. Like I can go to
hibachi as much as I want.
Speaker 3: This is amazing. So we would go there quite often
and uh I go. Then we we were there so much.
Speaker 6: We were sitting at the table and chef comes over
and it's like, you know what, man, we're just hungry.
You can just cook. You don't have to do all
the tricks. He's like okay, and he starts going. I
think about it for like a minute. Like a minute later,
I'm like, you know what, keep the volcano, thanks bud.
So kept the volcano, Keep the volcano, keep it coming.
So yeah, one of those things.
Speaker 4: The train.
Speaker 3: The train is pretty good too, to m hmm. Make
the heart out of the rice.
Speaker 4: I'm hungry, just make the food, but have to do
the tricks. Keep the volcano, keep.
Speaker 3: The volcano place, thank you.
Speaker 4: Also, like when they do the heartbeat with the rice,
the heartbeat is pretty good.
Speaker 3: So respect that.
Speaker 5: It's like the dance move and a step up, you know.
So when they have a little heartbeat, you know.
Speaker 3: Exactly. Yeah, yeah, you get it. I get it. No,
I get it. Yeah kidding me. You're sipping one. I'm poored.
Uh huh. So where we go at the beat?
Speaker 4: That's a new one, and I like it. I haven't
heard that one what I'm sipping with your.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, yeah, I've heard like all.
Speaker 6: Of them, but that one picking up what I'm putting
down like those, and I'm gonna I want to throw
this idea out to anybody that's like has an entrepreneurial
out there.
Speaker 3: I got the where we go to at the beach.
Speaker 6: There's like this company that does the things called mister
Hubachi and they do like in home.
Speaker 3: Come to your backyard, come to your backyard.
Speaker 6: I don't know if we really have that battery. So
if someone wants to start that, you got a customer.
Speaker 3: Didn't do that for your birthday one year?
Speaker 6: We no, no, no, no, we got like stuff brought in
for that, but it wasn't like you got there sitting
and chopping up eggs and people's faces. So like that's
like the count you have a little house party, little
dinner party, little birthday party of the house.
Speaker 3: So if someone wants to start that. You got a
customer right Christmas party?
Speaker 4: Yes, and we get Hbachi what's called Hibachi rock Star
Hubachi to come.
Speaker 3: All right, we can't do should we send up?
Speaker 6: We should send you got a Lane, well, welcome present
TV to the office because we got to get them
obviously coming on this show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah for sure. Not weekly daily.
Speaker 4: We got snubbed by the last coach.
Speaker 3: Yes, we had the other coach. We had coach O weekly.
Speaker 5: We have Kim Moulk the Goat, Jay Johnson the Goat Weekly.
Speaker 4: Kim Molke and Lane Kiffin all in the same program.
That's gonna be wild.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like awesome dogs going all of them.
Speaker 4: Well, Brady bunch of screen and Jay's like the quiet
psycho in a good way, Yeah, in a good way.
Speaker 3: In a great way. Okay with there, Bud, Yeah, just
making sure making sure you don't have an interview in
sixteen minutes, making sure we'd have to leave you to
go to the football operation.
Speaker 5: But also Ross Ellingers joining us at eight thirty, and
I was confirming that as well, love that Gordy's gonna
come sit in with us for a segment at eight o'clock.
I obviously want to get G's thoughts on him also now
he really had to sit in the cold and watch
that l shoe offense in Norman, Oklahoma. Just get G's
thoughts on Lane Kiffing and kind of what that looks
like as well.
Speaker 3: So I'm about today's show.
Speaker 5: You know, we've had a couple of weeks and and
shout out to Frank Wilson for keeping it all together
and for having that team ready to fight in Tuscaloosa,
ready to fight in Norman. You get a victory against Arkansas,
I know what Western Kentucky look like. We've all had
those games. We beat Troy with two minutes left my
freshman year. We've all had those games. But that was
a team that, I mean, the offense in the foundation
of it is broken. We know that we've laid that
out there. Anybody can see that. But they fought, and
they fought like hell. And that defense, my god, I mean,
they were gonna have to be perfect, unfortunately, and they
had one uh you know, miss Assigmon and coverage obviously
we all saw, but man, they were relentless.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the defense was fantastic, and I'd like to I mean,
they deserve. They deserve it kind of break down that
performance and yeah, again, like I'll double down on your
credit to Frank Wilson on how he kept it, and
like there's there's something that an interim coach has to do,
which is keep everything together, keep everything together from keep
things from shadowing, and keep the energy up. And you
saw that on both sides of the ball, all three
phases of the ball. You saw more energy, you saw
more excitement, you saw more try try hards right now
an offense and didn't come the offense regress I mean,
which which was hard to say because they were bad
before Sloan left and it just kept going downhill.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they didn't. It wasn't like they weren't playing
with energy.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 6: Offense is a different thing. It's a fine motor skill thing.
It's an execution deal the foundation. Everything was so broken
this entire year, from the onset of this season starting
dating back to the last spring, everything was so broken.
Speaker 3: The execution just wasn't.
Speaker 6: It was impossible to happen no matter how much energy
you had, right, So there was there was no fixing that.
Speaker 3: But at least, like you know, so credit.
Speaker 6: To them, I mean, try to everybody, Frank and the staff,
and we can also we should also get into that
of like what we think our opinions are and like
the must keeps four lane Kiffin.
Speaker 3: No, you call that what Radio teas. It's not a
big deal. We'll do it now, people on TV.

Speaker 1: You're listening to Off the Bench.
Speaker 3: All right, Welcome back in OTB.
Speaker 5: We want to remind you by our friends over at
ktz and tears and Outdoor Living been doing it since.
Speaker 3: Two thousand and four.
Speaker 5: Ktoz Blinds dot com is the website interior outdoor Living.
Brandon Barton and the team gonna come out, know your
space and learn your space, change your space in a
matter of minutes. They've done it for me, they'll do
it for you as well. Sometimes they fix the outside.

the sun blaring in, you drop that shade, watch football
no glare on your TV. Also kind of helps out
with the temperature in the summertime with your living room
and Brandon Barton and the team did that for me,
and again they'll do it for you at your home,
at your business kt OZ, Blinds dot com. All right, Matt,
you mentioned the defense and they were great yet again
on Saturday in Norman and with all the people at
Lane Kiffen brought with him from Ole Mess It's been
offensive staff, or it's been you know, player personnel or
some my general managers.
Speaker 3: No defense, all right.
Speaker 5: Now, his brother was defensive analysts and as a defensive background,
but you know Pete Golding now they're head coach. It
never felt like that was going to be the move
here either. And I can tell you from having conversations
with Lane and destin this year and at SEC media days.
Big fan of Blake Baker, Yeah, big fan, big fan
of what he does. Talked about, you know, the difficulties
when you're going against a Blake Baker defense. Ole Miss
was held up, was it twenty four points when they
played against LSU and weren't putting some great situations.
Speaker 3: But still I know there's a deep appreciation.
Speaker 5: And again I've heard that from Lane to me like
that's the source, Like I know he has that for
Blake Baker, and so I know it's trending right now
in a good direction. Now, I know there's a two
lane portion of this that's where Blake played, and now
their job is open.
Speaker 3: I don't know where that's at, but I can tell
you that.
Speaker 5: It's going in the right direction for this defensive staff
for a large majority of it. I don't know if
it's in its totality yep, but I think the moves
are telling us a story of a defensive staff that
might be put back in the same place they were.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we certainly hope so.
Speaker 6: And I think as an LSU fan base, that's something
that we wanted to see potentially from a income A
new head coach was man, unless he's got some bad
at defense and defensive coordinator, like please like that's that's
a one guy. There's a couple of guys on the defense.
I think Blake Baker, I think Corey Raymond, I think
Kyle Williams, and that's those are just the ones that
stick out to me. I don't want to like minimize
any of the other efforts by the coaches on the defense.
Speaker 5: Ja Golson the job he did at safety with aj
Hawsey to Marcus Cooley, Yeah, remarkable as.
Speaker 6: Well, I think that you know, Lane comes in and
he solidifies the offensive side of the ball. There is
no upgrade needed on the defensive side of the ball, right,
I don't need it to me like if you're going
to go like you'd be lucky to find somebody at
the equal level of Blake Baker, certainly not going to
find somebody at a greater level. So unless there's like
some sort of just unspoken loyalty out there to defensive coaches,
which there might be, and it's understandable there's a human
element to this thing that lank if it might have
loyalties to some some guys, these relationships with guys he's
been with a long time. But I think if you
want the best for your new football team, you want
to really take a strong look at keeping Blake Baker
and a lot of that defensive Now, like you said,
there's a two line element to this, right, potentially Blake
Baker be enough for that. But I think I also
heard rumors of the Shannon Dawson, the offensive coordinator at
the University of Miami, who is from Louisiana, also going
to be in the.
Speaker 3: Mix for the two line jobs.
Speaker 6: So we'll see how all that plays out, if if
that's a job that Blake Baker would like to take
right now, or I mean, I know he's one of
the highest paid assistant coaches, so maybe he's okay with
doing like stop here Lane.
Speaker 5: Yeah loves it here, came back here from Como when
he went to go be the Missouri defensive coordinator. So yeah,
something certainly to watch. Something we'll come back to throughout
the show. And right now it looks like it's trending
in a really good spot for LSU to keep that
defense staff. All right at number two when we come
back here live from the Raisin King Studio, off the bench,
all right, we are fired up to be back with
rejuven Me. Rejuve me Medical dot Com is the website. Remember,
